MEMBANGUN KETAHANAN MASYARAKAT INDONESIA TERHADAP BENCANA

Indonesia is a country prone to earthquakes. The urgent need now is to learn from disasters and improve and strengthen Indonesia's disaster reduction system with the resilience of Indonesian people to disasters. Efforts to elaborate a comprehensive and effective system for disaster mitigation and preparedness need to be done. Efforts made to reduce the disaster that occurred and prevent future disasters were 1) launching the development of an information communication system in the Indonesian disaster management administration centered on BAKORNAS PB, 2) building BRR for Aceh and Nias 3) handling the rehabilitation and reconstruction process with the community, and 4) improve the system for emergency response to disasters. The phase used for disaster risk management requires a comprehensive and multidimensional approach that addresses four phases, namely: 1) prevention / mitigation, 2) preparedness, 3) emergency response, and 4) rehabilitation / reconstruction and a multi-sector approach. Establishment of Early Warning Systems for Tsunamis and other Disasters include: 1) network status of seismological observations, 2) improvement of network seismological observations, 3) role of broadcast and communication media, 4) continuous observation, and 5) use of earth observation satellites for disaster information collection. Education for the prevention of disasters through the school system and through other opportunities is an important problem that must be addressed together, namely to change the experience of disasters into building a resilient Indonesia.

A Comparative Study on the Framework Plan for the Promotion of Human Rights in Local Governments

This study seeks to enhance the practical ability of the basic human rights promotion plan in the future by comparing the policy directions and detailed projects of the basic human rights promotion plan in local governments as the interest in human rights expands. The Basic Human Rights Promotion Plan is a comprehensive human rights plan that improves laws, systems, policies and practices by reflecting the Charter or Declaration of Human Rights in a policy manner, usually on a three- to five-year basis. It also proposes a basic direction and action plan for human rights policies to gradually implement human rights norms at the local government level. The establishment of a basic plan for the promotion of human rights by local governments, despite its importance, often gives meaning to the planning itself or is set up as a plan for the planning without being linked to the execution. In addition, many of the human rights plans overlap with the universal projects of welfare programs, with the basic human rights promotion plan not clearly divided between human rights and welfare. This is something to consider and need to be improved in the development of a basic human rights plan.
Compare Speckle Denoising Models Based on Total Variation and Filtering Methods

Image denoising is among the most fundamental problems in image processing. A large range of methods covering various fields of mathematics are available for denoising an image. The initial denoising models are derived from energy minimization using nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). These methods are very fast and removes noise very well. The filtering based models have also been used for quite a long time where the denoising is done by smoothing operators. The most successful method among them was the nonlocal means proposed by Buades, Coll and Morel in 2005. Though the method is very accurate in removing noise, it is very slow and hence quite impractical. In 2008, Gilboa and Osher extended some known PDE and variational techniques in image processing to the nonlocal framework. The motivation behind this was to make any point interact with any other point in the image. Using nonlocal PDE operators, they proposed the nonlocal total variation method for Gaussian noise. Based on this, a nonlocal PDE based speckle denoising model has been developed. The model is faster than nonlocal means but still much slower than the total variation based models. Additionally in 2005 Mahmoudi and Sapiro improve the existing non local means model by using similar neighborhoods. In this paper, we compare the nonlocal tv based model with the faster nonlocal means model for removing speckle noise from images. We compare these models and try to find the better one.
Introduction of digital technologies in education - Concepts and experiences

Abstract During the last decades technologies of information and communication technologies made a lot of progress, which increased the quantity and quality of distance education programs and the upcoming blended learning models. However, some basic difficulties in defining meaningful terms instead of buzzwords, often used in the present debate, will be discussed to raise consciousness of the rather vague terminology. The progress of digital technologies offered also a chance for better inclusion of disadvantaged parts of the population. The focus lies on the young generation of school attendants and how technology-oriented programs can provide better inclusion. We put a regional focus on development in Latin America. To highlight some of the issues discussed before, we will present a detailed case study about the Argentinean project “ConectarIgualdad”. We have also added a brief comparison with some other Latin American Initiatives. Summarizing we list considerations for a successful inclusive application of digital technologies in education. Conflicts of interest: None.
합리적인 의사소통 교육을 위한 정당화 연구

Rapid technological advancements have changed how we all communicate, including how and where we express our opinions. In a democratic society, various opinions must be respected, and this requires rational communication. This study researched the concept of justification as applied to teaching rational communication in Korean language education; justification is the action of demonstrating that something is right or reasonable. We began with the assumption that it is necessary to treat justification as an important agenda in any communication education based on rationality. We critically examined the perspectives of argumentation and rationality education as they are handled currently in Korean language education. Next, we dealt with justification as the principle of procedural rationality acquisition. Procedural rationality means that subjectivity and mutual subjectivity acquire rationality through justification. We then dealt with justification as a social praxis principle; social praxis is the acquisition of rationality through behavioral exchange among members of the community. Finally, we dealt with the application of Korean language pedagogy to justification studies. The results suggest that the justification as the principle of procedural rationality acquisition and social praxis is a useful concept for teaching rational communication.We believe that this justification study can be used to inform contents and evaluation factors in the practice of discourse.
CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT ALGEBRAIC FITTING OF AN ELLIPSE TO SCATTERED 2D DATA

The our aim of this work is to present some theoretical aspects and numerical results about the algebraic ellipse fitting to 2D data, showing the advantages and also the drawbacks of this procedure. All the necessary theoretical aspects are rigorously presented, as well as many examples that justify the usefulness of the method of algebraic fitting. Consulting the graphical obtained results, one may notice that the accuracy corresponds for the practical use of this method. Consulting the literature, we observe that the main part of scientific works deal with the geometric fitting and the algebraic fitting is considered only to show its deficiencies with respect to the geometric fitting. Our hope is that the algebraic fitting will be reconsidered and used in the cases when it is applicable. Key words: ellipse, algebraic fitting, least-squares method, parametric equations, accuracy
PROPENSITY TO ADOPT NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND ACADEMIC RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY CONTEXT

We present and test a theoretical model of academic research productivity, considering the relationship between the adoption of certain new modes of knowledge productivity and academic research output. 'Technological propensity' refers to the extent to which individuals seek to exploit new technological opportunities to enhance their own research productivity. We propose that there exists a positive relationship between technological propensity and research productivity, but that differences in personality, motivational values configurations and human capital investments may mediate this relationship. We empirically test theory in a sample of 457 academic respondents from nine South African universities and provide evidence that individuals who are more likely to utilise technological advances in their research are in fact no more research productive than those who do not. However, we also find that this relationship is mediated by an individual's 'openness to change'. Implications for theory, research and practice are discussed.
Fine-grained zero-shot recognition with metric rescaling.

We address the problem of learning fine-grained cross-modal representations. We propose an instance-based deep metric learning approach in joint visual and textual space. On top of that, we derive a metric rescaling approach that solves a very common problem in the generalized zero-shot learning setting, i.e., classifying test images from unseen classes as one of the classes seen during training. We evaluate our approach on two fine-grained zero-shot learning datasets: CUB and FLOWERS. We find that on the generalized zero-shot classification task the proposed approach consistently outperforms the existing approaches on both datasets. We demonstrate that the proposed approach, notwithstanding its simplicity of implementation and training, is superior to all the recent state-of-the-art methods of which we are aware that use the same evaluation framework.

Towards Automated Application-Specific Software Stacks

Software complexity has increased over the years. One common way to tackle this complexity during development is to encapsulate features into a shared library. This allows developers to reuse already implemented features instead of reimplementing them over and over again. However, not all features provided by a shared library are actually used by an application. As a result, an application using shared libraries loads unused code into memory, which an attacker can use to perform code-reuse and similar types of attacks. The same holds for applications written in a scripting language such as PHP or Ruby: The interpreter typically offers much more functionality than is actually required by the application and hence provides a larger overall attack surface. In this paper, we tackle this problem and propose a first step towards automated application-specific software stacks. We present a compiler extension capable of removing unneeded code from shared libraries and---with the help of domain knowledge---also capable of removing unused functionalities from an interpreter's code base during the compilation process. Our evaluation against a diverse set of real-world applications, among others Nginx, Lighttpd, and the PHP interpreter, removes on average 71.3% of the code in musl-libc, a popular libc implementation. The evaluation on web applications show that a tailored PHP interpreter can mitigate entire vulnerability classes, as is the case for OpenConf. We demonstrate the applicability of our debloating approach by creating an application-specific software stack for a Wordpress web application: we tailor the libc library to the Nginx web server and PHP interpreter, whereas the PHP interpreter is tailored to the Wordpress web application. In this real-world scenario, the code of the libc is decreased by 65.1% in total, thereby reducing the available code for code-reuse attacks.
Strong Asymmetric PAKE based on Trapdoor CKEM.

Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) protocols allow two parties that share a password to establish a shared key in a way that is immune to offline attacks. Asymmetric PAKE (aPAKE) [20] adapts this notion to the common client-server setting, where the server stores a one-way hash of the password instead of the password itself, and server compromise allows the adversary to recover the password only via the (inevitable) offline dictionary attack. Most aPAKE protocols, however, allow an attacker to pre-compute a dictionary of hashed passwords, thus instantly learning the password on server compromise. Recently, Jarecki, Krawczyk, and Xu formalized a Universally Composable strong aPAKE (saPAKE) [23], which requires the password hash to be salted so that the dictionary attack can only start after the server compromise leaks the salt and the salted hash. The UC saPAKE protocol shown in [23], called OPAQUE, uses 3 protocol flows, 3–4 exponentiations per party, and relies on the One-More Diffie-Hellman assumption in ROM.

Files and Exceptions

When files are used effectively programs can read the data that they need from disk instead of requiring the user to enter it each time the program runs. Similarly, files allow the results generated by a program to be stored in a more permanent manner than printing the output on the screen. Both file input and file output are commonly used by programs that operate on larger amounts of data. This chapter explores the following topics related to files: In addition, this chapter also explores the use of command line arguments and exceptions, both in programs that make use of files and in those that do not. The chapter concludes with 24 exercises that allow the reader to put all of these concepts into practice.
Perancangan Buku Ilustrasi “Just Do (Odle) It!”

Doodle is an activity that anyone can do it. This scribbling/doodling activity is often referred to as doodle. Lots of people who knowingly or unknowingly ever made a doodle. Doodle can be a beautiful work of art and bring the benefits to those who diligently it. But there is a problem for the doodle maker, it’s the artwork that usually does not have character. That's because lack of information and knowledge about Doodle. Books about doodles are widely circulating in the market, but the problem is the Information &amp;amp; Knowlegde of Doodle Books stiil not available yet. Therefore an Illustration Book Design “Just Do(odle) it!” was created which aims to introduce and provide information and knowledge about doodle for the wider society.
Countermeasure Design Flow for Reducing the Threats of Information Systems

The developers of the security policy recognize the importance of using both technical and non-technical countermeasures, such as personnel and operational facts, in formulating an effective overall security solution to address threats at all layers of the information infrastructure. This paper uses the security engineering principles for determining appropriate technical security countermeasures. It includes information on threats, security services, robustness strategy, and security mechanism. This paper proposes a countermeasure design flow which may reduce the threats to the information systems.
CHARACTER ANALYSIS USING SPACE IN HANDWRITING IMAGE TO DETERMINE SPECIALIZATION IN BUSINESS

Specialization selection in business has been a subject of research study for several years. In our work, it begins with collecting the handwriting samples on plain white A4 size paper.   Initially color image or gray scale image is taken as an input then thresholding is done to convert the image into binary image and noise removal technique is also applied. Skew-normalization techniques have been applied to find out space between lines, words and letters in handwriting images after segmentation of lines, words and characters have been performed. Finally, the mean of the space between all the closed loops formed by the characters has been found out and compared with the word spaces to determine the character. The characters are then matched with the requirements of each specialization. Accordingly, the candidates select their specialization and their performance in the exam has proved it to be a healthy match for them. This paper focuses on selection of specialization in business based on behavior from space analysis in handwritten document. The proposed method was tested on more than 500   text images of IAM database and sample handwriting images which are written by different writers on different backgrounds, detects the exact space in between lines, words and characters after skew normalization of a document. The experimental result shows that proposed algorithm achieves more than 63% accuracy for all type skew angles.

Eavesdropping on quantum secret sharing protocols based on ring topology

Quantum secret sharing (QSS) is the process of splitting a secret message into multiple parts such that no subset of parts is sufficient to reconstruct the secret message, but the entire set is. Ever since the first protocol was proposed, QSS has attracted intensive study, and many protocols have been proposed and implemented over recent years. However, we discover that several ring-topology based QSS protocols cannot resist Trojan-horse attacks. In this paper, we first give a modified Trojan-horse attack strategy and show that the eavesdropper can obtain any player's private data and the dealer's secret message without leaving any trace. Then we show that existing defense strategies cannot resist our attack. To defeat such attacks, we design a defense strategy based on quantum memory and evaluate its performance. The evaluation results indicate that the eavesdropper's attack significantly increases the quantum bit error rate and can thus be detected.
