Jaint: A Framework for User-Defined Dynamic Taint-Analyses based on Dynamic Symbolic Execution of Java Programs.

We present Jaint, a generic security analysis for Java Web-applications that combines concolic execution and dynamic taint analysis in a modular way. Jaint executes user-defined taint analyses that are formally specified in a domain-specific language for expressing taint-flow analyses. We demonstrate how dynamic taint analysis can be integrated into JDart, a dynamic symbolic execution engine for the Java virtual machine in Java PathFinder. The integration of the two methods is modular in the sense that it traces taint independently of symbolic annotations. Therefore, Jaint is capable of sanitizing taint information (if specified by a taint analysis) and using multi-colored taint for running multiple taint analyses in parallel. We design a domain-specific language that enables users to define specific taint-based security analyses for Java Web-applications. Specifications in this domain-specific language serve as a basis for the automated generation of corresponding taint injectors, sanitization points and taint-flow monitors that implement taint analyses in Jaint. We demonstrate the generality and effectiveness of the approach by analyzing the OWASP benchmark set, using generated taint analyses for all 11 classes of CVEs in the benchmark set.

EXPLORING RURAL TEACHERâ€™S CHALLENGES WITH COMPULSORY TECHNOLOGY-BASED PEDAGOGY: INTRODUCTION OF COVI-19 RELATED EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM

Ponte Academic JournalFeb 2021, Volume 77, Issue 2 EXPLORING RURAL TEACHER’S CHALLENGES WITH COMPULSORY TECHNOLOGY-BASED PEDAGOGY: INTRODUCTION OF COVI-19 RELATED EDUCATIONAL PARADIGMAuthor(s): Mabel-wendy Mashologu ,Nomxolisi Mtsi, Shakespear M. ChiphamboJ. Ponte - Feb 2021 - Volume 77 - Issue 2 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2021.2.3 Abstract:This pandemic caused fear and anxiety as it brought the world to uncharted waters. In South Africa Covid-19 regulations resulted in a temporary closure of schools responding to social distancing. Schools had to resort to blended learning which combines face-to-face teaching and online teaching. To avoid loss of learning time that meant total cancellation of an academic year, schools had to turn to the technology-based system that could be effective in a digitally developed environment. This paper sought to explore the challenges rural teachers are facing within this new arrangement for teaching and learning as some lack basic computer skills and facilities to handle the Covid-19 aftermath. The main objective of the study was to find out how rural teachers were able to handle the online teaching and learning situation. A mixed-method approach was employed to be able to conduct telephonic interviews (to avoid face to face) as they are typically more probing and open-ended and a short standard telephonic questionnaire, with responses, recorded. Purposive sampling was employed to select fifteen teachers from fifteen different rural high schools of the district to respond to a telephonic interview and five teachers to respond to a short telephonic questionnaire. Content analysis was employed to analyse audio recordings and field notes. The findings indicated that due to the lack of computer skills, most teachers worked under a stressful environment in the Covid-19 period. Therefore, the study recommends the training of in-service teachers on how to use blended learning methods of teaching and learning. Another recommendation is that curriculum planners should include a compulsory module for pre-service teachers on all forms of technology-based pedagogies.

대형ㆍ다수준 EFL 수업에서 의사소통중심 교수법

This study examines not only Korean students’ perceptions of employing communicative language teaching (CLT) in large multi-level EFL classes but also the main factors affecting their perceptions. One hundred and nineteen college students, ranging in English proficiency from beginner to low-intermediate, from two intact classes implementing CLT for one academic year participated in this study. Data from surveys, follow-up interviews, and field notes were collected and analyzed by using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results indicate that students identify the CLT classes positively with respect to having an interest and self-motivation in different communicative activities, focusing on tasks, and improving their meaningful use of English. The findings support the results of the original study conducted in large homogeneous classes although the four factors were found to be more beneficial to relatively higher level, rather than lower level students. Thus, it seems that for beginners, collaborative learning, including pair or group work, is less effective in large mixed-level classes.
Teaching Tourism Communication Skills through Guessing Game at Porodisa Learning Center Manado

Although English is taught in all levels of education in Indonesia starting from Primary Education, English command of the majority of students is poor after learning for at least 6 years during the Junior and Senior High School levels or for the total of 10 years for other students who study English starting from the third grade of Elementary School or even for 11 years for those who go to university and have English subject for two semesters. This poor result is, of course, caused by many factors such as the teacher, the student, the curriculum, the facility, the methodology, etc. Considering that methodology might be one of the causes of failure, the researchers applied guessing game in teaching communication skills at Porodisa Learning Center Manado. The objectives of this research are to find out whether Guessing Game (1) is effective to motivate the students to communicate in English, (2) can improve the students’ grammatical command, and (3) can increase the students’ vocabulary. The method used in this research was qualitative method and the data analysis used was descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through guided interview, observation and documentation while the sample was taken using purposive sampling technique. The results of the research show that: Guessing game is very effective for teaching communication skills. This game can also improve the learner’s grammatical command and it is also useful for increasing the learners’ vocabulary.
MOTIVATION AND REASON IN SOCIAL INFORMATION INTERACTION

In social philosophy, mass informatization has led to cases of manipulating people’s consciousness,which illustrate how irrational social information can shape motivation and reasons for individuals’behavior. The article aims to analyze the information interaction in the public consciousness, whenthere is formed motivation and then reason for the behavior of an individual or social group. Theanalysis of motivating reasons was based on R. Wedgwood’s classification and the dialecticalmaterialistic methodology, which allowed defining such basic concepts as reason, motivation, socialinformation, rational, irrational, and relationship. The concepts underlay the study of social informationinteraction when motivation transitions into a specific reason for an individual’s action stage by stage.There was described the beginning, content, and end of this process characterized by the author’sview of comparing the subject of social information according to its properties as it relates to anindividual’s social experience. Rational and irrational properties of social information are consideredto determine the reason for an individual’s behavior in the information space of public consciousness.The research findings contribute to mitigating cases of manipulating people’s consciousness andmaintaining the effective social management.
ÉXITO EN EL APRENDIZAJE EN LÍNEA Y SU INCIDENCIA EN EL RENDIMIENTO ACADÉMICO DE ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS

This work was carried out with a group of students enrolled in face-to-face modality, who were forcedto migrate to e-learning without being certain of their aptitude for this modality. An instrument wasapplied to the students to determine the success of online learning, in which five dimensions aremeasured: computational skills, independent learning, dependent learning, need for online teachingand academic skills. According to the instrument, ninety six percent of the students needed face-toface guidance from the teacher and acquire additional skills to be successful in a virtual subject, butit turned out that just one student obtained a failing grade, although on a scale of 0 to 100, only thirtypercent of the grades were higher than eighty. As a parametric method, the Pearson coefficient wasused, obtaining as a result that the most significant correlation between academic performance andonline learning success occurs in the average obtained in individual learning activities.
Education during a State of Emergency

The accessing changes in the world order provoke fields such as education, work, and in general human lives. The pandemic caused by the spread of Covid-19 affected an extremely large part of the Earth, including the Republic of Bulgaria. Pupils and students had to switch to distance learning, being more precise go-to distance learning in an electronic environment. This was unexpected for us all - parents, students, and especially teachers. The teachers are the ones who have extremely difficult task of dealing in a very short time with the selection of (and possibly acquaintance with) appropriate software, as well as to master information and communication technologies, in most cases, and they may have never been trained in. This situation also provoked the study, which found a place in this report. It was targeted at the very beginning of the forced isolation, including the closure of educational institutions, in the Republic of Bulgaria - in the period from March 18 to April 10, 2020. A logical choice in this state of emergency was the way of conducting it - an electronic survey.
A Study on the Effect of Satisfaction with R&D Projects on R&D Performance Satisfaction -For SMEs in Jeollanamdo-

The purpose of this study is to check whether the satisfaction of the R&D (Research & Development) project directly affects the R&D performance, and to find out whether the satisfaction with regional connectivity and the satisfaction with the R&D operation management significantly mediate the relationship that the satisfaction with the R&D project has on the R&D performance. In order to verify the research hypothesis on this, a total of 51 companies located in Jeollanam-do that actually conducted R&D research projects were surveyed and analyzed. In order to conduct an empirical study based on the collected questionnaire, a survey questionnaire related to the variables of the study model was composed based on a sample of 51 questionnaires. We used the SPSS program to verify the hypotheses in this study, and the hypotheses were verified by analyzing the validity, reliability, correlation, and deflection. As a result, there was a positive (+) significant relationship between R&D project satisfaction and R&D performance. In addition, it was found that the relationship between R&D project satisfaction and R&D performance was significantly mediated by the satisfaction with R&D regional connectivity and satisfaction with R&D project operation management.

Exploring Looping Effects in RNN-based Architectures

The paper investigates repetitive loops, a common problem in contemporary text generation (such as machine translation, language modelling, morphological inflection) systems. More specifically, we conduct a study on neural models with recurrent units by explicitly altering their decoder internal state. We use a task of morphological reinflection task as a proxy to study the effects of the changes. Our results show that the probability of the occurrence of repetitive loops is significantly reduced by introduction of an extra neural decoder output. The output should be specifically trained to produce gradually increasing value upon generation of each character of a given sequence. We also explored variations of the technique and found that feeding the extra output back to the decoder amplifies the positive effects.
Development of a dynamic wallpaper selection method with measurement features using a mobile platform with augmented reality technology / Jasni Dolah, Nur Hazirah Abdul Manab and Liza Marziana Mohammad Noh

This study presents a dynamic wallpaper selection method with measurement features on a mobile platform using Augmented Reality Technology. Many wallpaper sellers only use catalogues that easily complicate a customer’s selection process since customers cannot imagine how a wallpaper would look when mounted on the wall in their homes. This study aims to help customers save time by using their smartphones to select wallpapers before they actually go to the shop to purchase the wallpaper. A crucial step in the purchase of wallpaper using smartphones would be to use Augmented Reality with measuring features through mobile applications. This paper focuses on two main goals, namely to help customers save time while choosing a wallpaper using Augmented Reality (AR), and assisting customers to visualise what the wallpaper would look like once mounted on the walls in their homes. This study used a mix-method approach and applied the online survey method involving Universiti Sains Malaysia undergraduate students (n=20). Problem values, the use of calculation tools and the advantage of improved realism were evaluated and the average percentage was measured.

Uno strumento per comprendere le difficoltà di apprendimento degli alunni stranieri

The growing presence of students from migrant cultural backgrounds in Italian schools has changed classrooms, giving them a multicultural and intercultural aspect. This could mean a challenge for the concept of inclusion in educational contexts. This situation, very heterogeneous due to the various native places of foreign students, is often associated with the presence of learning difficulties. Recognising a possible learning disorder (Law no. 170/2010) in students from migrant cultural backgrounds is made more difficult by the lack of specific screening measures. This paper aims to present a preliminary report of a tool tested on a sample of Italian and foreign primary school children in order to evaluate their reading ability, regardless of the language they have as mother tongue. The tool is conceived as a preliminary screening in schools to understand if the difficulties of the students are related to the low L2 language proficiency or if they are the manifestation of other problems to be investigated through medical-diagnostic tests.

In Quest of Ores from Bohemia to the End of the World

In Quest of Ores from Bohemia to the End of the World is the name of a new book by Petr Laznicka, a leading Czech-Canadian-Australian geologist, published in Czech this year. Professor Petr Laznicka (Peter Laznicka) is a globally renowned expert in the field of ore deposits and metallogenesis. Similar publications on the world's ore deposits in Czech are rare. We can state that the work of Professor Petr Laznicka is in a way exceptional. During his 65-year career, he became a recognized authority in the fields of deposit geology and metallogenesis. Unfortunately, he has become more recognized abroad than in the Czech Republic. This book is the first comprehensive publication in Czech about Laznicka’s life and work. At the same time, it is also an expression of honours to his merits in the scientific and economic knowledge of ore deposits and his approach to this complex issue.The book was published by the Czech Geological Survey in Prague in 2020, ISBN: 978-80-7075-994-3. It has 393 pages and costs CZK 450. DOI 10.35180/gse-2020-0041
Adaptive vs. Fixed Spacing of Learning Items: Evidence from Studies of Learning and Transfer in Chemistry Education.

Spacing presentations of learning items across time improves memory relative to massed schedules of practice - the well-known spacing effect. Spaced practice can be further enhanced by adaptively scheduling the presentation of learning items to deliver customized spacing intervals for individual items and learners. ARTS - Adaptive Response-time-based Sequencing (Mettler, Massey, & Kellman 2016) determines spacing dynamically in relation to each learner's ongoing speed and accuracy in interactive learning trials. We demonstrate the effectiveness of ARTS when applied to chemistry nomenclature in community college chemistry courses by comparing adaptive schedules to fixed schedules consisting of continuously expanding spacing intervals. Adaptive spacing enhanced the efficiency and durability of learning, with learning gains persisting after a two-week delay and generalizing to a standardized assessment of chemistry knowledge after 2-3 months. Two additional experiments confirmed and extended these results in both laboratory and community college settings.

Back to Basics: Redefining Quality Measurement for Hybrid Software Development Organizations

As the software industry transitions from a license-based model to a subscription-based Software-as-aService (SaaS) model, many software development groups are using a hybrid development model that incorporates Agile and Waterfall methodologies in different parts of the organization. The traditional metrics used for measuring software quality in Waterfall or Agile paradigms do not apply to this new hybrid methodology. In addition, to respond to higher quality demands from customers and to gain a competitive advantage in the market, many companies are starting to prioritize quality as a strategic differentiator. As a result, quality metrics are included in the decision-making activities all the way up to the executive level, including Board of Director reviews. This paper presents key challenges associated with measuring software quality in organizations using the hybrid development model. We developed a framework called PIER (Prevention-InspectionEvaluation-Removal) to provide a comprehensive metric definition for hybrid organizations. The framework includes quality measurements, quality enforcement, and quality decision points at different organizational levels and project milestones during the software development life cycle (SDLC). The metrics framework defined in this paper is being used for all Cisco Systems products used in customer premises. Preliminary field metrics data for one of the product groups show quality improvement after implementation of the proposed measurement system.
