Edge-preserving smoothing algorithm based on &lt;italic&gt;l&lt;/italic&gt;&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt; gradient minimization of image-patch

Image smoothing algorithm based on l<sub>0</sub> gradient minimization can smooth details and textures of image while preserving edges. Since the algorithm uses image gradient to determine the smoothed component, the region with smaller image gradients (weak edge) can be smoothed. However, the region with larger image gradients (strong edge) will be preserved. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose an image-patch based l<sub>0</sub> gradient minimization image smoothing algorithm (IP-<italic>l</italic><sub>0</sub>). Instead of globally smoothing the input image, our algorithm smoothed each image patch first and then combined the smoothed patches together to obtain the final smoothed image. The weight parameters in the objective function used to smooth each image patch are dynamically changed according to the local statistics of image patch, so that the patches containing strong textures will be smoothed with greater force, and vice versa. The experimental results show that compared to the original l<sub>0</sub> gradient minimization algorithm and several other state-of-the-art edge-preserving image smoothing algorithms including the local Laplacian filter based algorithm, the relative total variation based algorithm, the tree filter based algorithm, and two kinds of deep-learning based smoothing algorithms, the proposed algorithm can effectively smooth strong textures and well preserve weak edges or structures, and the ability of edge preservation and texture smoothing is better than other algorithms.
Digital technologies in music education : The prospects of interactive course development in primary school music education

Within the framework of the 'Education Innovation - Modernisation of the training structure, methods and content in higher education, enhancement of its labour market relevance', we conducted a course material development project for the length of two terms at the Institute of Education and Social Sciences, Apáczai Csere János Faculty of Humanities, Széchenyi István University. We devised course material to be applied in e-learning and in a place-based studying environment (VR course material). The aim of the project was to create support material that assists teacher candidates in processing and acquiring the material of primary school music education. Its necessity and timeliness are justified by the insufficient level of music skills of newly admitted teacher candidates. The present paper is intended to display a summary and short-term evaluation of the project.
S.M.A.R.T Business Role in Supporting Marketing Strategies among Telecommunication Organizations Injordan

The current study aimed at examining the role of S.M.A.R.T business goals including (specific, measurable, assignable, realistic and time-related) in supporting marketing strategies within telecommunication organizations in Jordan. In order to realize the aim, quantitative approach was adopted through distributing an online questionnaire on a sample of (134) individuals within telecommunication industry in Jordan. Results of study indicated that employing the aspects of S.M.A.R.T business goals and apply them on the marketing strategies helped in creating the so-called 'smart marketing', this type of marketing suited the current era of online and internet marketing and managed to increase the suitability and performance of marketing activities. In addition to that, among variables of S.M.A.R.T business goals, it was seen that all variables were influential; the highest variables in influence appeared to be for the benefit of realistic and timely strategies, meaning that realistic goals and having a timely deadline for achieving each goal is very impactful in presenting an efficient marketing strategy. Study recommended the need for marketing strategies not to be general, that is, not only (increasing followers of social media sites), but the mechanism that will achieve the goals of the strategy must be supported in a smart and effective way.
Evolving the Genetic Model for the Cononish Gold Deposit, Scotland: From Prospect to Mine

The Cononish deposit consists of a complex of fault-hosted, near vertically dipping, gold- and base-metal-bearing quartz-carbonate veins. Situated near Tyndrum, 70km north of Glasgow, it is on course to become Scotland's first ever commercial gold mine. Extensive adit-mapping reveals two metallurgically distinct Au-bearing mineral assemblages that are spatially associated with discrete dilations along the Cononish fault. The first (X) constitutes much of the economic resource and is associated with: pyrite tellurides chalcopyrite-galena, coincident with a quartz calcite-sericite-barite gangue. The second (Y) is composed of oxide-pyrite-pyrrhotite chalcopyrite, coincident with a quartz-carbonate-chlorite gangue. Mineralogical contrast reflects a marked change in composition and oxidation state of ore-fluids. Whilst Cononish displays broad commonality with the orogenic group of ore deposits, mineralization is temporally coincident with high-K Ba-Sr enriched, talc-alkaline magmatism. This observation is substantiated by PS analyses of coincident pyrite (similar to 1.5 parts per thousand) and barite (similar to 23.7 parts per thousand) that mineralized at epithermal temperatures (similar to 223 degrees C), and geological observations in this study.
Estrategias de comprensión lectora para el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en la educación media

Critical thinking is considered a reflective skill that everyone must achieve to a certain degree, with reading comprehension being one of the most expeditious ways for its development. This article presents the results of a study whose objective was to propose reading comprehension strategies for the development of critical thinking in secondary education institutions in Colombia. Among the theoretical foundations cited are the contributions of Vasquez (2010), Sanchez (2013), Ministry of National Education (2006), among others. From the methodological perspective, this work was carried out under a quantitative methodology, through a projective proposal and a non-experimental field plan; For the selection of study participants, a population census made up of eighty-five (85) teachers from three (3) secondary education institutions was considered, to whom a survey (questionnaire) of forty and eight (48) items, with five (05) alternative responses, validated by seven (07) experts, whose reliability through Cronbach's Alpha coefficient reached a value of 0.87. Among the main results, it was obtained that the cognitive activation and bridging strategies required an indication of their location in the sufficient category within the established scale; Regarding the spatial cognitive strategies, an arithmetic mean was reflected in the moderately sufficient category, as well as those of metacognition. Finally, for critical thinking skills, data corresponding to the sufficient category were evidenced, which allowed us to conclude that with the plan and strategies to promote dialogic learning it is possible to deepen critical thinking mediated by reading.

Hidden Cosets and Applications to Unclonable Cryptography

In this work, we study a generalization of hidden subspace states to hidden coset states (first introduced by Aaronson and Christiano [STOC '12]). This notion was considered independently by Vidick and Zhang [Eurocrypt '21], in the context of proofs of quantum knowledge from quantum money schemes. We explore unclonable properties of coset states and several applications: - We show that assuming indistinguishability obfuscation (iO), hidden coset states possess a certain direct product hardness property, which immediately implies a tokenized signature scheme in the plain model. Previously, it was known only relative to an oracle, from a work of Ben-David and Sattath [QCrypt '17]. - Combining a tokenized signature scheme with extractable witness encryption, we give a construction of an unclonable decryption scheme in the plain model. The latter primitive was recently proposed by Georgiou and Zhandry [ePrint '20], who gave a construction relative to a classical oracle. - We conjecture that coset states satisfy a certain natural (information-theoretic) monogamy-of-entanglement property. Assuming this conjecture is true, we remove the requirement for extractable witness encryption in our unclonable decryption construction, by relying instead on compute-and-compare obfuscation for the class of unpredictable distributions. - Finally, we give a construction of a copy-protection scheme for pseudorandom functions (PRFs) in the plain model. Our scheme is secure either assuming iO, OWF, and extractable witness encryption, or assuming iO, OWF, compute-and-compare obfuscation for the class of unpredictable distributions, and the conjectured monogamy property mentioned above. This is the first example of a copy-protection scheme with provable security in the plain model for a class of functions that is not evasive.
ODA초청연수사업의 성과지표와 현업적용도 측정 개선방향 연구 - KOICA-부경대 ‘석사학위연수사업’ 사례를 중심으로 -

This research identified the cases of KOICA scholarship program currently operated by Pukyong National University and analyzed its effect and performance idicators through participation research methods and literature studies. An case analysis of KOICA's scholarship program showed that it had a positive effect on improving individual competency, but the training process was not always linked to positive results because various factors such as the trainee's current application and the cultural and social characteristics of the organization and country to which the trainee belongs, but also the effect derived in developing countries can be involved. There are several problems with performance indicators set by KOICA to manage the performance of the scholarship program. First, focusing on quantitative assessments, makes it difficult to identify the outcomes that cannot be quantified such as trainees’ personal competency. The second is simplifying assessment factors, excluding various factors that may intervene in the process of performance exposure, such as economic and social situations, culture, and organizational culture by country. Third, the long-term tracking system after the graduation is not established as an indicator. In order to improve this problem, it is necessary to expand the scope of the survey to colleagues and direct supervisors within the organization to track the trainee's performance in the long term and assess the trainee's competence and influence on the organization. Moreover, the indicators should be diversified considering various situation in developing countires. The government should improve its understanding of the performance development process and seek ways to continue the development of the training project.
Adaptive E-Learning System Using Justification Based Truth Maintenance System

In most E-learning systems, educational activities are presented in a static way without bearing in mind the particulars or student levels and skills. Personalization and adaptation of an E-learning management system are dependent on the flexibility of the system in providing different learning and content models to individual students based on their characteristics. In this paper, we suggest an Adaptive E-learning system which is providing adaptability with support of justification-based truth maintenance system. The system is accomplished of signifying students with suitable knowledge fillings and customized learning paths based on the student’s profile, interests, and previous results.
How to Effectively Communicate Benefits of Introducing a Modern Password Policy to Employees in Companies

Traditional password policies comprise rules to enforce a complex composition and demand mandatory changes in frequent intervals. Nowadays, we know that more modern password policies favoring length over complexity and abstaining from frequent password changes offer a better usability and provide higher security compared to the old-fashioned policies. Shifting from such a demanding password policy to a modern one unburdens users long-term and thus, can be used to formulate a deal offering this long-term benefit in exchange for a short-term time cost. In this paper we present a study investigating such a deal: employees of a company were offered to change to a more usable password policy, but in return they were asked to first watch a short explanatory video about password security and then subsequently change their password according to the new policy and the advice in the video. To that end, we created a communication package comprising an introductory email and an explanatory video. The results of our user study show that this approach can be an effective way to shift to a contemporary password policy and - at the same time - raise awareness about issues and misconceptions surrounding password security among users.

Application of scripting cartographic methods to geophysical mapping and seismicity in Rwenzori mountains and Albertine Graben, Uganda

Uganda is traversed by the East African Rift System (EARS), which controls its topography and induces high seismicity in the southwestern and western parts of the country, around the Rwenzori Mountains and Albertine Graben. This paper explores the complexity of the geophysical, topographic and geomorphological settings of Uganda for linking the distribution and magnitude of earthquakes to the controlling factors: geomorphology, topography and geophysics. The methodological workflow for an automated plotting of the topographic, geophysical and seismic data includes the following important codes: 'gmt grdimage ug_relief.nc-Cgeo.cpt-R29/35/-1.5/4.3-JM6.5i-I+a15+ne0.75-t50-Xc-P-K > $ps' for topographic visualisation, 'gmt psxy-R-J quakes_UG.ngdc-Wfaint-i4,3,6,6s0.1-h3-Scc-Csteps.cpt-O-K >> $ps' for mapping earthquakes, 'gmt img2grd grav_27.1.img-R29/35.5/-1.5/4.3-Ggrav_UG.grd-T1-I1-E-S0.1-V' for mapping gravity. The steps of the scripting workflow using 'raster' and 'tmap' libraries of R and a variety of GMT modules includes the following most important codes: 'alt = getData(alt, country = Uganda, path = tempdir()); slope = terrain(alt, opt = slope); aspect = terrain(alt, opt = aspect); hill = hillShade(slope, aspect, angle = 40, direction = 270)'. The study uses high-resolution spatial datasets GEBCO, EGM-2008, IRIS, gravity grids and SRTM DEM aimed to undertake thematic mapping of Uganda. Nine new maps have been generated using shell scripts of GMT and R for environmental monitoring. Depth of the earthquakes ranges from 4 to 40 Km with frequency of seismic events near Rwenzori Mountains and Albertine Graben for destructive earthquake is less than about five decades. Earthquake magnitudes varied from 3.7 Richter Magnitude Scale (Lake Edward region) to 6.2 Richter local magnitude Makerere scale (M L) (Lake Albert region). Lake Kivu region has earthquakes with magnitudes between 3.8-5.3. The region of Lake Albert had the highest magnitudes and frequency of seismic events, compared to Lakes Kivu and Edward. Earthquakes around the Lake Albert reached the highest magnitude at 6.2 M L. Earthquakes around Lake Victoria reach the maximal level of earthquake magnitude at 5.0 M l , near Lake George-5.3 M L. Earthquakes were mostly recorded in the Albertine Graben of EARS in the Albert, Edward and George lakes and occasionally in Lake Victoria.
