Ban on Chinese apps in India

Recently, the Indian government proclaimed it would block 59 widely used apps (such as TikTok, Shareit, Cam Scanner etc.), most allied to Chinese companies. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), appealed Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 to cite the concerns regarding both data safety and national sovereignty related with these apps.Though the government has planned this ban from the viewpoint of data security and privacy, the action seems to form a part of the reciprocal strategy against Chinese intrusions in Ladakh.Given that India’s digital economy is one of the largest markets in the world; such a move is likely to have an influence on the India-China border dispute.

DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR AND THE CHALLENGE BEHIND THE PAST AND PRESENT LIFE

The eruption of rising crime rates through statistics in Malaysia has begun to threaten peace andcreate resentment among the people. The people's fears are in line with a growing number of criminal cases.From street crime to serious crime, Malaysians expect practical initiatives to help solve this problem. Thisconceptual paper will discuss background, theoretical, past research, discussion of deviant behaviour tendencies,issues and challenges. In this discussion, too, the focus is on the individual's tendency to get caught up indeviant behaviour and thus lead to criminal behaviour. These tendencies will be examined in terms of affective,cognitive and behavioural aspects of individuals. This study combines several theories on the perpetrator'stendency to commit crimes that begin with deviant behaviour. Small-scale deviant behaviour should not beoverlooked as it can often contribute to large-scale criminal activities. The most important part of this discussionis to serve as a valuable guide to specific groups such as the Royal Malaysian Police, ministries, schools, societycommunity, and institutions of higher learning in helping the government and the country to combat theonslaught of crime and unite criminal activities among the people. Awareness among all parties is also essentialto achieve a high level of collaboration in ensuring that Malaysia can be a safe, prosperous and safe country forall.

Combined interactive protocol for lattice-based group signature schemes with verifier-local revocation

In group signature schemes, signers are required to prove their validity of representing the group while being anonymous to the verifiers and traceable to the authority. On the other hand, group signature schemes with verifier-local revocation require signers to prove their revocation token is not in the revocation list. This paper presents a combined interactive protocol that supports group signature schemes with explicit tracing mechanism and verifier-local revocation, where keys and revocation tokens are generated separately to achieve stronger security. This new protocol enables signers to prove that their signing is valid, their revocation tokens are not in the revocation list, and their index is correctly encrypted.
A MOBILE-BASED APPROACH TO ASSIST LEARNING IN A POLYMER TECHNOLOGY COURSE

Recently, Student Response Systems have gained increasing interest in terms of assessing their effect on students’ engagement in the learning process. On these grounds, a research was conducted targeted to find out whether the use of Mobile learning might enrich the teaching-learning process during the lab work in a Polymer Technology course within a Chemistry Bachelor’s Degree. The study was two-fold: first, to evaluate the students’ performance through multiple-choice questions tests, and second, to explore whether the approach enabled a change in the students’ motivation and predisposition to learn. The experience has been carried out over the academic year 2019-20, and the mobile phone Socrative app was used for that purpose. The class of 2018-19 was established as the control group, given that no mobile-based approach was implemented in the lab at that time. A two-tailed hypothesis test allowed concluding that the use of Socrative had a significant effect on improving the students’ average grade (nearly 1.5 points higher, in a 0-10 grading scale) in polymer characterization practical sessions. Moreover, a survey was administrated to the students via GoogleForms upon completion of the lab period. The survey results demonstrated that the use of Socrative had helped both capture students’ interest and create a more pleasant learning environment. Hence, more than three fourths of the students admitted that the app made the laboratory work more engaging and fun. As a conclusion, the Socrative app has proved successful at improving the students’ academic performance and getting the most out of the lab work.

Bandwidth and Delay Optimization by Integration of Software Trust Estimator with Multi-user Cloud Resource Competence

Trust establishment is one of the significant resources to enhance the scalability and reliability of resources on cloud environments. To establish a novel trust model on SaaS (Software as a Service) cloud resources and to optimize the resource utilization of multiple user requests, an integrated software trust estimator with multi-user resource competence (IST-MRC) optimization mechanism is proposed in this paper. IST-MRC optimization mechanism combines its trustworthy properties with optimal resource allocation, on the requisition of the software apps, without any traffic occurrence in the cloud environment. Initially, a behavior trust estimator is developed in the IST-MRC mechanism to measure the trust value of the software service zone. The trust value is estimated, based on Software Availability Rate, Hit Rate, and User Feedback regarding the specific software apps. Next, the resources are optimized to multiple users using competence optimization. The competence optimization in the IST-MRC mechanism computes the processor speed, bandwidth, and latency to handle the varied traffic conditions on multiple user requests. Experiments are conducted to measure and evaluate factors, such as Successful Request Handles, Resource Utilization Efficiency, Latency Time, and Trust Success Ratio on the multiple users.
Optimal dynamic edge device deployment: the challenges

With the increase of IoT, one can witness the deployment of more and more IoT devices. These devices are mostly characterized by heterogeneous mobility and connection patterns and limited resources such as memory, computing resources and energy. To overcome this, some of their computing tasks should be offloaded to a cloud or edge devices. In order to serve them as much as possible, there is a need to predict the kind and amount of resources these devices will request and the location of these resources. Some edge resources may need to be deployed sporadically and temporarily at different locations based on IoT devices needs and mobility. This talk will present the different challenges that have to be addressed to provide IoT devices with the best services.
Making Phonemic Inventories of Nepali Mother Tongues and its Implications to English Language Teaching: A Case of Dungmali

This article presents the idea why phonemic systems of students' mother tongues should be studied while teaching English? As Nepal is a rich country in terms of linguistic diversity, students having different linguistic backgrounds attend the English language classrooms every day. However, their perception of learning English language is different to each. They think English is very hard, talent one only masters it. Teachers also are not aware on vast distinctions of sound systems of students' mother tongues with English that affects language learning hugely. This gap is one of the major issues of English language teaching in Nepal. This paper attempts to analyze this issue by making phonemic inventory of one of the Nepali mother tongues of Nepal; Dungmali. It emphasizes the importance of phonemic inventories with reasons in reference to English Language Teaching.
