Design Anthropological Frictions: Mundane Practices meet Speculative Critiques

‘As a metaphorical image, friction reminds us that heterogeneous and unequal encounters can lead to new arrangements of culture and power’. This chapter is concerned with the frictions created in the meeting between speculative objects and mundane practices, present(s) and future(s), design and anthropology. It outlines some of the more general issues, challenges and potentials for design anthropology, speculative design, and the possible relations between them. Participatory design challenges this division of labour between research and design by inviting ‘users’ and other stakeholders into the design process. All design is inherently about the future and imagining potentials; but a group of design practices under the umbrella term ‘speculative design’ has a more explicit orientation towards the future. Critical design addressed broader socio-technical and cultural configurations, or ‘the way technologies enter our lives and the limitations they place on people’.

Scheduling of the courses is a very complex problem and requires precision, and should be based on rules (constraints) scheduling applies to generate an optimal schedule. UTM's Faculty of Engineering is currently in charge of six courses and the even semester FY 2014-2015 has begun implementing a centralized scheduling system in a faculty that is directly under the direction of Assistant Dean I. In a centralized scheduling system was introduced lecturers sharing, which means that a professor can teach in several different study programs. This leads to the possibility of conflicting lecture schedules so great that in this scheduling need to be checked on a schedule of all courses of study in order to schedule formed in accordance with the rules (constraints) applies. Currently the process of scheduling at the Faculty of Engineering UTM still using traditional methods, namely the preparation of manually so that the design of the scheduling of courses with the method of simulated annealing (SA) this needs to be made, in order to begin to be made centralized scheduling can be made more optimal. In addition, the scheduling will be more easily modified if there are changes to the schedule of lectures.

Introduction to Business Developmet of Teaching Materials With Business Planning

One of the goals of business planning is to provide information to the parties that need to be used to make comparisons, assess the ability of a company, as well as guidelines for decision making. In order to meet the above objectives, the business information data must be comparable. These comparisons can be done in two ways, namely horizontal and vertical. Horizontal comparison is a comparison report of an enterprise business planning with other companies for the same period, in which the concept can be easily when where in the preparation of the use of an existing software. This study aims to develop a learning model of instruction business using business planning program as a teaching material in the lecture material in college. Specific targets to be achieved in this study are issued in the form of teaching materials compiled introductory book business with business planning program. To achieve these objectives, this research uses descriptive analysis to identify the problems that exist in the learning business introduction at universities in North Sumatra Muhammadiyah University (UMSU) in the city of Medan that runs for this. Such problems include not understand her students in using business planning program that had long since been removed, and are not motivated to study the program due to lack of guidance in implementing the practices. To find the factors that become an obstacle in understanding the use of the program. With the identification of these factors can then be compiled by an instructional materials to motivate students willing to please the instructional materials and the purpose to educate the nation's children can be reached. Based on students' perceptions about learning the business introduction that has been carried out, the value of the overall average variable is equal to 3.61, which means to be in the category of good / high.
Projection under pairwise distance control

Visualization of high dimensional and possibly complex data onto a low-dimensional space is often difficult. Several projection methods have been already proposed to display such high-dimensional structures on a lower-dimensional space, but the information lost is not always considered. Here, a new projection paradigm is presented to describe a non linear projection method that takes into account the projection quality of each projected point in the reduced space, this quality being directly available at the scale of this reduced space. More specifically, this novel method allows for a straightforward visualization of data in R2 with a simple reading of the approximation quality, and thus provides a novel variant of dimensionality reduction.
Tools of the Trade: Can Mobile Technologies Enhance the Learning Experience in a Tertiary Environment?

Mobile learning is fast becoming a global phenomenon, resulting in a change to the way education is being delivered. As society is now experiencing 'mobility' in all spheres, it is unsurprising that mobile devices are being used by both learners and educators as a natural extension of the tools and technologies available to enhance the learning environment. Mobile learning aims to provide another layer of support to the students' learning experience, alongside other delivery methods to enhance and support the learning process. This paper describes the results of a study carried out in a New Zealand tertiary institution which investigated whether the learning environment could be enhanced through the use of mobile technologies and thereby enrich the student learning experience in a tertiary environment. Open-ended questions and focus groups were used to gather perceptions of the students' experiences of the mobile enhanced learning environment. The analyses confirmed that the mobile enhanced learning environment was a positive one and that the increased levels of communication relating to both the learning content and administrative matters was found to have made a difference to their learning experience. Students' responses also highlighted issues that educators need to pay attention to when using mobile technologies. The issues raised suggest that a consistent and planned approach is needed when designing, planning and implementing a mobile enhanced learning environment.

An exploratory study of the standard reuse practice in a medium sized software development firm

Reuse has been a topic of interest in software engineering since 1968. Although many academic papers have been written about adopting software reuse in companies, such a process in practice has proven difficult, long and costly to implement. At present, rigorous studies on the current practice of reuse in industry are scarce. Objective: The aim of this paper was to study the current practice of software reuse at a medium sized company, in particular, we aimed to alleviate the lack of data and identify barriers and success factors. Method: An exploratory study based upon descriptive surveys. Results: The predominant practice of reuse is ad hoc (73%) and the reusable artefacts were shared by means of a central repository (81%). Most practitioners use the Web to look for artefacts (92%), trying to understand them by studying code snippets or the artefact's documentation. The existence of a well-established reuse process (81%) and a high quality of the artefacts (70%) were the two most mentioned facilitators for reuse. Conclusions: All participants view software reuse as a beneficial process and believe that management should promote it. The results offer opportunities for further interpretation and comparison to software developers, project leaders, and researchers. However, these results cannot be generalized due to the specificity of the context we have studied. Replications of this study, in other business domains, are needed to generalize the results.
A Highly Efficient Side Channel Attack with Profiling through Relevance-Learning on Physical Leakage Information

We propose a Profiling through Relevance-Learning (PRL) technique on Physical Leakage Information (PLI) to extract highly correlated PLI with processed data, as to achieve a highly efficient yet robust Side Channel Attack (SCA). There are four key features in our proposed PRL. First, variance analysis on PLI is implemented to determine the boundary of the clusters and objects of the clusters. Second, the nearest-neighbor k-NN variance clustering is used to reduce the sampling points of PLI by clustering the high variance sampling points and discarding the low variance sampling points of PLI measurements (traces). These clustered sampling points, which are highly correlated with the processed data, contain pertinent leakage information related to the secret key. Third, the information associated with the secret key is spread in several neighboring sampling points with different degrees of leakages. We analytically derive the Key-leakage relevance factor for each clustered sampling point to quantify the degree of leakage associated with the secret key. Fourth, by means of Hebbian learning, a weight proportional to the Key-leakage relevance factor is updated iteratively based on the values of relevance factor and traces of the sampling points. The converged weights which are being assigned to clustered sampling points are linked to their associated PLI to further increase the correlation of the PLI with the processed data. Therefore, the required number of PLI measurements, to reveal the secret key, can be reduced significantly. In addition, we analytically show that the computational complexity of our proposed PRL is O(n) when compared to the reported profiling techniques having O(n2) and O(n3) computational complexities. Based on the experiments of our proposed PRL performed on the PLI of AES-128 algorithm, the results depicting that the sampling points of PLI are reduced 87 percent after the k-NN variance clustering. The converged weight with learning error rate <;1 percent is attained with only 538 iterations. The robustness of our proposed PRL is examined with four different frequencies (embodying four noise levels), various reported profiling techniques and two hiding countermeasures applied on the PLI (vertical and horizontal hidings). Our proposed PRL successfully reduce 94.53-to-98.19 percent of traces when performing at four different frequencies. Based on the hiding countermeasures applied on the PLI, the weights converge at 7,517 iterations and the SCA requires only 523 traces to reveal the secret key. By comparing with reported techniques which require > 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</sup> traces, our proposed PRL is ~2; 000x more efficient in performing SCA.
Improving Quadrature for Constrained Integrands

We present an improved Bayesian framework for performing inference of affine transformations of constrained functions. We focus on quadrature with nonnegative functions, a common task in Bayesian inference. We consider constraints on the range of the function of interest, such as nonnegativity or boundedness. Although our framework is general, we derive explicit approximation schemes for these constraints, and argue for the use of a log transformation for functions with high dynamic range such as likelihood surfaces. We propose a novel method for optimizing hyperparameters in this framework: we optimize the marginal likelihood in the original space, as opposed to in the transformed space. The result is a model that better explains the actual data. Experiments on synthetic and real-world data demonstrate our framework achieves superior estimates using less wall-clock time than existing Bayesian quadrature procedures.
Report and repeat: Investigating Facebook’s hate speech removal process

Social media is rife with hate speech. Although Facebook prohibits this content on its site, little is known about how much of the hate speech reported by users is actually removed by the company. Given the enormous power Facebook has to shape the universe of discourse, this study sought to determine what proportion of reported hate speech is removed from the platform and whether patterns exist in Facebook’s decision-making process. To understand how the company is interpreting and applying its own Community Standards regarding hate speech, the authors identified and reported hundreds of comments, posts, and images featuring hate speech to the company (n=311) and recorded Facebook’s decision regarding whether or not to remove the reported content. A qualitative content analysis was then performed on the content that was and was not removed to identify trends in Facebook’s content moderation decisions about hate speech. Of particular interest was whether the company’s 2018 policy update resulted in any meaningful change.Our results indicated that only about half of reported content containing hate speech was removed. The 2018 policy change also appeared to have little impact on the company’s decision-making. The results suggest that Facebook also had substantial issues including: removing misogynistic hate speech, establishing consistency in removing attacks and threats, an inability to consider context in removal decisions, and a general lack of transparency within the hate speech removal processes. Facebook’s failure to effectively remove reported hate speech allows misethnic discourses to spread and perpetuates stereotypes. The paper concludes with recommendations for Facebook and other social media organizations to consider to minimize the amount and impact of hate speech on their platforms.
Benefits and challenges of BIBFRAME

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the potential strengths and weaknesses of the BIBFRAME bibliographic model and outline its purpose and key features. In addition, it discusses specific aspects of the model with respect to the pre-existing models of bibliographic description. Design/methodology/approach A review of source and secondary materials regarding BIBFRAME was undertaken, and a comparison of the conclusions derived from this literature was made to the pre-existing models of bibliographic description. Findings If the BIBFRAME Initiative can overcome what will likely be some significant challenges to the development and implementation of the model, BIBFRAME appears to be poised to become the next standard of bibliographic description and exchange for the library community. Research limitations/implications The findings and conclusions of this paper are based upon an in-depth literature review, not on theoretical or empirical derivations or examples. As a result, further research of both theoretical and empirical natures need to be developed. Practical implications BIBFRAME may well become the next standard of bibliographic description and exchange for the library community, leading to significant changes in cataloging practices over the years. Social implications To the extent that BIBFRAME can expand discovery mechanisms, the vast array of information currently available to information seekers will open up in previously unthought of ways. Originality/value This paper synthesizes a literature that was developed during a more preliminary design of the bibliographic model BIBFRAME and adds to the literature by discussing newer capabilities that have been designed into BIBFRAME 2.0.
