An App based Solution for Sign Language to Text Conversion

Sign languages are a way in which languages use the visual -manual means to convey a message to the other person. It usually has a predefined sign with each symbol representing a letter. Series of signs are used in order to convey a sentence. The main aim of this paper is to develop a mobile application-based solution that takes sign language gestures as input to a trained deep learning model built using 2D Convolutional Neural Networks and converts it to text and voice outputs in real-time for improved and finer communication. The basic idea behind this is that sign language is not one that is commonly learnt by all and hence people who are familiar with sign language only are able to communicate with the mute. This solution aims to bridge that knowledge gap between people irrespective of their familiarity with sign language. After implementing our solution, it is found that the model predicts gestures with an accuracy rate of 78%. Once translated, the text was also converted to audio output using Text-to-speech library(tts). This app-based approach comes in handy as most people today use smartphones and hence the application can reach out to more users.
SPATIAL AND FREQUENCY DOMAIN COMBINATION BASED IN SCHEMES TOSTEGANOGRAPHY IN RGB DIGITAL IMAGES USING CANTOR SET

This paper describes a proposal based on the combination of based methods on the spatial domain and the frequency for the hiding of data in RGB digital images, by substituting bits in pixels less important and modifying coefficients DWT to increase data security. The main idea of this research is to take advantage of the selection logic of the Cantor set in defined sections of the cover images, where the pixels are regrouped, and in these sections the pixels that will be used to hide data are selected. This proposal has the advantage that the application of the logic of the Cantor set allows selecting at different levels a variable number of pixels to be modified and increasing the security of the steganography system. The results obtained are high loads of data embedding, as well as the approval of quality metrics for digital images how PSNR, MSE, SSIM and others. The dataset image used in the experiments is UCID due to the large number of images available for embedding messages in images.

METADISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF AN ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT ARTICLE

&lt;p&gt;In language structure, discourse is generally used by writers in their text to get readers to understand and comprehend the content of the written text. Metadiscourse is a specific class of language device used by writers to organize their text as well as manage the interactions or relations in some way with the reader of the text. By taking Hyland (2005) and Lakoff’s (1975) interactional metadiscourse model, this paper employs the data analysis driven method called document analysis to analyse the presence of interactional metadiscourse elements in an online entertainment article. Coding and frequency counting method are adopted to find out the sub-categories of respective four elements: Intensifiers, Hedges, Boosters, and Engagement Markers. The elements are interpreted as representing writers’ strategies to define the relationship between themselves, the reader and the topic. Consequently, it is found that the four elements of interactional metadiscourse are all deployed in the article text. The result of this study identifies that engagement markers is the most frequent interactional metadiscourse used by the author. This research may suggest entertainment online article employ the integration of interactional metadiscourse as effectively as other genre of online articles. It may be of value in understanding entertainment online genre for the development of the metadiscourse framework academically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0678/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
ESP TEST FOR HOTEL FRONT OFFICE: IS IT A NEED?

Expatriates staying in hotels in Surabaya have indicated vast growing in number. Critical question is “how is the staff’s language competence to cope with this?” To make it sure, approach to hotel leaders and staff should be done for further investigation. Thus, this study examines (1) hotel leaders’ perception towards the hotel front officers’ English proficiency, (2) the need of English for Specific Purpose (ESP) test for hotel front office staff and (3) effort done to ensure good command of English of front office staff. For the purpose, a qualitative study employing a case study was conducted involving ten hotels and hotel leaders as well as front office staff. Source of data was derived from results of questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and interviews. Actual needs on front officers’ English proficiency information were obtained from three ways; job-search websites, institutional e-mails and interview with hotel leaders. Results showed that specific English test to measure English proficiency for front office tasks did not actually exist since hotel leaders merely counted on the general interview during their recruitment process. Perceptions on their front office staff’s English proficiency were still below the passing grade for all type of hotels. To establish an ESP test for front office staff, Target Language Use (TLU) for Speaking and Writing can be broken-down into the followings:&nbsp; 18 were extracted as TLUs for speaking and 7 items were extracted to serve as TLUs for writing. Finally, based on the obtained TLUs, 14 questions for speaking and 5 questions for writing were constructed for suggested ESP test for hotel front office staff.
PENGELOLAAN ARSIP DINAMIS PADA FAKULTAS USHULUDDIN ADAB DAN DAKWAH (FUAD) IAIN BATUSANGKAR

The management of dynamic records becomes the reference of an organization to achieve the goals of the organization. Dynamic archives will not be separated from correspondence in each unit at the agency. The background of this research is that the archives of Ushuluddin Adab and Da'wah (FUAD) IAIN Batusangkar have not been maximized. The research that the author uses is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. There were 4 informants in this assessment consisting of 1 Head of Administration and 4 archiving officers in the Faculty environment, are a receptionist manager, 3 departmental employees namely 1 Department of Library and Islamic Science Department 1 employee, Islamic Broadcast Communication 1 people and employees majoring in Islamic Political Thought 1 person. Based on observations made by the author, it can be concluded that the management of dynamic archives at the Faculty of Usuluddin Adab and Da'wah (FUAD) of Batusangkar IAIN has not run optimally, for the management of incoming and outgoing letters such as official letters, student letters in their distribution require a long time especially when the receptionist was not in place because the receptionist was a lecturer employed. Staff limitations and the difficulty in re-finding archives are due to the management of archives that are not in accordance with the standards and inadequate supporting facilities. Archival shrinkage in the Faculty of Usuluddin Adab and Da'wah has not used the Archive Retention Schedule.

Blind signature protocols based on hidden discrete logarithm problem

Introduction: The progress in the development of quantum computing has raised the problem of constructing post-quantum two-key cryptographic algorithms and protocols, i.e. crypto schemes resistant to attacks from quantum computers. Based on the hidden discrete logarithm problem, some practical post-quantum digital signature schemes have been developed. The next step could be the development of post-quantum blind signature protocols. Purpose: To develop blind signature protocols based on the computational difficulty of the hidden discrete logarithm problem. Method: The use of blinding factors introduced by the client during the blind signature protocol when the parameters necessary for the blind signature formation are passed to the signatory. Results: It has been proposed to use blinding multipliers of two different types: left-sided and right-sided ones. With them, you can develop blind signature protocols on the base of schemes with a verification equation defined in non-commutative algebraic structures. New blind signature protocols have been developed, based on the computational difficulty of the hidden discrete logarithm problem. As the algebraic carrier for the developed protocols, finite non-commutative associative algebras of two types are used: 1) those with a global two-sided unit, and 2) those with a large set of global left units. Practical relevance: The proposed protocols have a high performance and can be successfully implemented either in software or in hardware.
