The role of R&amp;D in economic growth in Arab countries

This paper explores the impact of research and development (R&D) activities on economic growth in 12 Arab countries of the Middle East. We have conducted different pre-estimation tests to justify model selection, including cross-sectional dependence, stationarity, causality, and cointegration. We perform post-estimation diagnostics to test for both long-run and short-run relationship by applying a panel auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model using data for the period 1996-2016. Long-run analysis confirms that R&D activities positively affect economic growth while in the short-run this relationship is not significant.

Analysis of Knowledge and Management of Dysmenorrhea in Students Before and After the Application of Leaflets and Flipcharts

Menstruation as vaginal bleeding that occurs periodically due to the release of the uterine mucosa.The menstrual cycle begins with menarche and will continue until menopause around the age of 45-55 years (Helen, 2010).Studies of systematic reviews in developing countries find that 25-50% of adult women and around 75% of adolescents experience painful sensations during menstruation, with five to twenty percent reported experiencing dysmenorrhea severeor inhibiting them in their daily activities (Harlow, 2004).This study aims to try to give treatment to a counseling model by using leaflet and flipchart media then analyze the level of change before and after the model is applied in Anyer High School and the results of this study are expected to be used as a reference for health, dysmenorrhea especially for students who are still called the juvenile category to improve coping patterns when menstruation is coming The research method used was to use a survey method, which is a research design that provides both quantitative and numerical descriptions.Sampling using purposive random sampling of 420 students.The results of the study were analyzed in stages through univariate and bivariate analysis.The results showed that the average value of knowledge change using flip media (77.98) was greater than the media leaflet (77.48).The results of the analysis of the method leaflet and flipchart with the Wilcoxon Test obtained p-value = 0,000, which means that both media influence increasing knowledge about dysmenorrhea students in SMA Negeri 1.It was concluded that the method leaflet and the flipchart method both had effects on the score of student knowledge about menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea).

Towards Context Address for Camera-to-Human Communication

Although existing surveillance cameras can identify people, their utility is limited by the unavailability of any direct camera-to-human communication. This paper proposes a real-time end-to-end system to solve the problem of digitally associating people in a camera view with their smartphones, without knowing the phones' IP/MAC addresses. The key idea is using a person's unique "context features", extracted from videos, as its sole address. The context address consists of: motion features, e.g. walking velocity; and ambience features, e.g. magnetic trend and Wi-Fi signal strengths. Once receiving a broadcast packet from the camera, a user's phone accepts it only if its context address matches the phone's sensor data. We highlight three novel components in our system: (1) definition of discriminative and noise-robust ambience features; (2) effortless ambient sensing map generation; (3) a context feature selection algorithm to dynamically choose lightweight yet effective features which are encoded into a fixed-length header. Real-world and simulated experiments are conducted for different applications. Our system achieves a sending ratio of 98 <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">.</sub> 5%, an acceptance precision of 93 <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">.</sub> 4%, and a recall of 98 <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">.</sub> 3% with ten people. We believe this is a step towards direct camera-to-human communication and will become a generic underlay to various practical applications.

Quantization for Infinite Affine Transformations

Quantization for a probability distribution refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability supported by a finite set. In this article, we consider a probability distribution generated by an infinite system of affine transformations {Sij} on R2 with associated probabilities {pij} such that pij&gt;0 for all i,j∈N and ∑i,j=1∞pij=1. For such a probability measure P, the optimal sets of n-means and the nth quantization error are calculated for every natural number n. It is shown that the distribution of such a probability measure is the same as that of the direct product of the Cantor distribution. In addition, it is proved that the quantization dimension D(P) exists and is finite; whereas, the D(P)-dimensional quantization coefficient does not exist, and the D(P)-dimensional lower and the upper quantization coefficients lie in the closed interval [112,54].
Improving English Skills of Local Taxi Drivers Based on Cloud in Sanur Village

Sanur Village is one of the tourist destinations in Bali famous for its natural coastal beauty.The development of tourism in the village also brought changes to the economy of the people in the region.Most of the people that initially worked as fishermen are now shifting profession to the tourism sector which is positively impacting on local communities.Subsequently, there is an increase in the number of taxi drivers by the surrounding community due to the rise in tourist visits.The development of local taxi transportation services, is therefore, the basis needed by drivers need to acquire good and correct English skills in order to adjust to the language ethics.It aims to improve the quality of service which in turn increases the income of taxi drivers that are local residents of Sanur Village.The partner in this program is the chairman of the Sanur Development Foundation (YPS) that plays an essential role in developing the English skills of taxi drivers in Sanur Village.The obstacle faced is the unavailability of learning resources both in the form of books and examples of special conversations.Another obstacle is the unavailability of free time for them to participate in training, which is unpredictable due to uncertain working hours as a driver.The outcome of this Community Partnership Program is a cloud-based or online English training equipped as a manual of video for taxi divers to converse.The training process shows that they currently have a special guidebook which is accessible online and whatsApp groups that allow discussion at any time.
Missão e finalidade da biblioteca escolar nos meandros do pensamento complexo

Libraries are places of interconnections and relationships in the school. Contemplating complex librarianship phenomena at school through the lens of Complexity Theory is opportune as the school library can be re-signified when using its space and collection, and when carrying out teaching and learning activities by the librarian in its interior. Then, this study aimed to relate the mission and purpose of the school library to the principles of the complex thinking. Findings consist on understanding that the school library is a place of connection between people, as well as it is an area where members of the school community relate with the collections, with the librarian and with the school library structure. The librarian must know his/her real and potential users, the characteristics of the school community, as well as ensure that the school library remains being a space to undertake emancipatory discussions and where to carry out leisure, teaching and learning activities. These understandings were related to the systemic, holographic, retroactive circuit, recursive circuit, autonomy/dependence, dialogic and reintroduction of knowledge in all knowledge principles of Complexity Theory. The research concludes that in the context of the relationship between the mission and the purpose of the school library with the principles complex thinking of Complexity Theory, it is understood that, first, school libraries have distinct agents that constitute their reality as a unit of information in schools; then, the existence of these agents is a complex reality in libraries; and, finally, this complex reality can be worked under some guidelines aligned with the complex thinking, so the approach of complexity in school libraries can become less subjective and more concrete for school professionals to work towards achieving the mission and purpose of those information units effectively.
ICST 2020 CI/CD Industry Workshop Program

Continuous Integration (Cl) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are increasingly widespread throughout the technology sector. As large engineering organizations adopt CI/CD they are often met with scalability challenges. What works for small teams has not proven to work for large teams. This workshop invites practitioners and academics to come together and informally discuss the challenges and opportunities in build, test, and release automation. The purpose of the CI/CD Industry Workshop is to encourage practitioners (who may or may not be engaged with the academic community) to come together to learn from each other. It is also an opportunity for the academic community to learn (informally) about the state-of-practice in CI/CD and current challenges. We do not want any artificial barriers to exist between the experienced practitioner and participation in the workshop.

Creating a New Self-sustaining Society

With the current industry approaching its ceiling, many issues are emerging. This paper points out that to cope with these issues, we need to shift from working for others to working for ourselves. Its basic idea is to make the most of our current resources and to provide people with mental satisfaction to enjoy their life. The current industrial framework is technology-focused. But this paper points out the importance of psychological happiness and satisfaction, by making the most of our current resources. Thus, we can not only reduce cost and energy, but we can provide everybody with the desire to actualize themselves more. So, everybody can work for tomorrow. He or she challenges his or her own task to achieve his or her own goal. In short, we should explore a new horizon of mental world.

Investigation of Variables Predicting Response Time for PISAMathematics Items

One of the most important contributions of the developing technology to the measurement and evaluation process in education is undoubtedly the application of tests in computer environment. Compared to paper-and-pencil tests, due to its technological infrastructure computer-based tests have some advantages such as reporting scores at the end of the test, supporting innovative item formats and recording response time. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between variables predicting the response time in multiple-choice and open-ended mathematics items. For this purpose, 26 released mathematics items of International Student Assessment Program (PISA) application in 2012 were implemented over a computer-based test application at the beginning of 2018-2019 academic term. The test was applied to 124 ninth grade students in a high school in the Mediterranean region. Within the scope of the study, the regression analysis was conducted to predict test response time variable by gender, daily computer usage time, mathematics exam grade, Turkish exam grade and response length (only for open-ended responses) variables. Findings obtained from the study showed that female students spend more time in answering both multiple-choice and open-ended items. It was also determined that there was a moderate significant relationship between the response time of multiple choice and open-ended items and the raw scores obtained from these items. The results of the analysis showed that the mathematics exam grade was not among the variables that was predicting the response time of both item types. Daily computer usage time was the first variable entering the model in multiple-choice items, whereas it was the response length in open-ended items.
COMBINING DATA OWNER SIDE AND CLOUD SIDE ACCESS CONTROL FOR ENCRYPTED CLOUD STORAGE

People recommend the great power of cloud computing, however, can certainly not entirely trustthe cloud carriers to multitude privacy-sensitive records, as a result of the absence of user-to-cloudcontrollability. To ensure discretion, data owners contract out encrypted information instead of plaintexts. Todiscuss the encrypted documents with other customers, Cipher text-Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CPABE)may be utilized to carry out delicate as well as owner-centric access control. But this does not sufficientlybecome safe and secure against various other attacks. Many previous programs carried out certainly not providethe cloud provider with the ability to validate whether a downloader may break. Consequently, these documentsought to be readily available to everyone access to cloud storage. A destructive attacker can install thousands offiles to release Economical Denial of Durability attacks, which are going to largely eat the cloud source. Thepayer of the cloud company bears the expense. Besides, the cloud provider provides both as the accountant andthe payee of source consumption expense, lacking the clarity to data proprietors. These worries need to besolved in real-world public cloud storing. Within this paper, we plan an answer to get encrypted cloud storagespaces coming from EDoS assaults and also offer source consumption accountability. It uses CP-ABE schemesin a black-box way as well as abide by random gain access to the plan of CP-ABE. Our company present twomethods for different setups followed through performance and also security evaluation.

EasyRL: A Simple and Extensible Reinforcement Learning Framework

In recent years, Reinforcement Learning (RL), has become a popular field of study as well as a tool for enterprises working on cutting-edge artificial intelligence research. To this end, many researchers have built RL frameworks such as openAI Gym, and KerasRL for ease of use. While these works have made great strides towards bringing down the barrier of entry for those new to RL, we propose a much simpler framework called EasyRL, by providing an interactive graphical user interface for users to train and evaluate RL agents. As it is entirely graphical, EasyRL does not require programming knowledge for training and testing simple built-in RL agents. EasyRL also supports custom RL agents and environments, which can be highly beneficial for RL researchers in evaluating and comparing their RL models.

Pedagogical conditions to form the professional competence of the future road transport managers

The Ukraine's accession to the implementation of the Bologna Declaration principles i.e. creation of a general labor market of the highest qualification in Europe ensuring the qualitative educational level of specialists and compliance of their preparation with the conditions of the international labor market, enhances the relevance of the professional competence formation issues for a specialist.At the same time, training of specialists of the necessary personal and professional qualities is impossible without transformation of the existing subject-to-knowledge education and transition to the competence approach in training, which is considered to be the important approach of renewal the education content.Road transport determines the efficiency of the development of productive forces and directly influences both the formation of the labor market and all aspects of human's social activity.Thus, the proper specialists' preparation in the field of road transport organization is important.The analysis of teaching a number of special disciplines for students of specialty 275 "Transport technologies", the survey of road transport experts and students allowed identifying the basic pedagogical conditions to create the future transportation manager professional competence: determination and selection of educational content in accordance with the present-day socio-economic and employers' requirements; modeling of the future professional activity of graduates; formation of professional attitude in respect to the future workplace activities; creation of pedagogically comfortable educational environment.The realization of these conditions should be ensured by the introduction of separate content modules in psychological and pedagogical and professional disciplines, the use of methods of active learning; analysis of specific situations, business games, discussions, more active involvement of students into research work -participation in student scientific conferences, writing of papers and projects, joint decision of creative tasks.In evaluating the results of the learning process organization, a priority should be given to dialogic interaction, objective review of completed tasks.Thus, the creation of the above-stated pedagogical conditions should help to ensure a high level of professional competence of the future transportation managers.
Terminal Tools for Working with Images and Videos

While the command line is primarily text based, there are surprisingly some great tools for working with images and videos which rival or in some cases are the basis for their GUI equivalents. For example, if you’ve used any type of website that modifies or generates images, it’s likely it was using ImageMagick on the back end. In the same way, if you’ve used any Linux-based video editor, there is a good chance it was built on top of ffmpeg.

Mind Theory and the Role of Financial Decision and Process Role of Optogenetics

This paper is devoted to the study of functional relationships between behavioral finance, in particular when making decisions in the financial market, and the theory of reason and optogenetics. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interaction of financial decision-making processes with the key principles of the mental state model (theory of mind) and define the role of optogenetics. The author notes that the use of the theory of reason in behavioral finance allows us to consider the key characteristics of the mental state of the subject of economic relations (thoughts, perceptions, desires, intentions, feelings have an internal mentalistic and experimental content). The author notes that decision-making at any level characterizes the complex network of scientific industries that allow us to understand the complexity of financial decision-making and the role and significance of the laws of thermodynamics and entropy. Modeling neural networks (based on the experimental approach), the paper presents the results of research in the context of analyzing behavioral changes in our brain under the following scenarios: at the stage of awareness of certain processes; if we participate (or do not) participate in these processes. The following conclusions are made in the paper: for the normal states of anxiety, the greatest number of possible configurations of interactions between brain networks, which represent the highest values of entropy is characteristic. These results are obtained from the study of a small number of participants in the experiment, but give an objective assessment and understanding of the complexity of the research and the guidance that include a scientific basis in the process of solving problems in the financial sphere (as an example: when trading in the financial market). Keywords: behavioral finance; theory of mind, financial decision making, optogenetics.
SUSTAINING LOCAL HERITAGE: FIBRE ART AS A NEW PARADIGM TO UPLIFT MALAYSIAN CRAFT PRODUCTION

By putting forward contemporary fibre art as a new paradigm in Malaysian craft production, this study aims to uncover how it is applied involving selection of material, utilization of technique right up to the appraisal of resultant product. The underlying rationale is to ensure incessant appreciation of Malaysian crafts by the society, especially the younger generation. This research utilized the Design Development Research (DDR) that consisted of three (3) phases. Selection of research participants used purposive sampling based on the respondents' expertise in the area. In Phase 1, Needs Analysis was carried out using semi-structured interviews with three (3) textile experts. In Phase 2: Design and Development, the researcher used ADDIE model to develop crafts using fibre art material for Malaysia craft production. In the third and final phase, Implementation and Evaluation, sixty young people from Shah Alam community took part in an assessment of their acceptance of craft using fibre art. However, discussion on this study focuses on the first phase which is the needs analysis. The findings suggest that contemporary fibre art as a new paradigm to Malaysian craft production is relevant and has the potential to be implemented in Malaysia.
