Assessment Of Digital Competencies Of Undergraduate Students Of Early Childhood Education Grade

The Information Society in which we find ourselves in, characterized by the widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in almost every area of our lives, requires new skills from people. Many studies speak of teacher training in ICT, the acquisition of these skills and the need to promote initial teacher training in this area (Centeno and Cubo, 2013; Esteve and Gisbert, 2013; Esteve, 2015; Gutiérrez, Cabero and Estrada, 2017; Gisbert, González and Esteve, 2016). This study analyzes the perception of digital competences among students of the Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at a university teaching classroom based courses (University of Malaga), and in another that offers online courses (International University of La Rioja). To this end, the “Questionnaire for the Study of the Digital Competence of Higher Education Students (CDAES)” (Gutiérrez, Cabero and Estrada, 2017) was used as an instrument to assess the degree of self-perception of digital competence shown by Education university students. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 164 students. The results show the degree of digital competence that students have –in comparative terms – in aspects such as technological literacy, information research and processing, critical thinking, problem solving and decision making, communication and collaboration, digital citizenship and creativity and innovation.
A risk adaptive access control model based on Markov for big data in the cloud

The main problems of the application of access control in the cloud are the necessary flexibility and scalability to support a large number of users and resources in a dynamic and heterogeneous environment, with collaboration and information sharing needs. This paper proposes a risk self-adaptive dynamic access control model, based on Markov chain and Shannon information theory, for big data that stored and processed by cloud. In this model, a simple formal adversary model, a modification of XACML framework including some new and enhanced components, Markov-based methods for calculating the risk values of access requests, and an incentive mechanism for supervising all the access behaviours of subjects are proposed, successively. Our method is easy to deploy and the administrator just need to label the object data. This method is more effective and suitable to control the access in large-scale information system, and protect the sensitive and privacy data.
Storage and Security Preservation Using Cloud Based Intelligent Compression Scheme

Cloud computing is one of the important factoring that leads it into a productive phase. This means that most of the main problems with cloud computing have been addressed to a degree that clouds have become interesting for full commercial exploitation. However, permissions over data security still prevent many users from migrating data to remote storage. Client-side data compression in particular ensures that multiple uploads of the same content only consume network bandwidth and storage space of a single upload. Compression is actively used by a number of cloud backup providers as well as various cloud services. Unfortunately, encrypted data is pseudorandom and thus cannot be deduplicated: as a consequence, current schemes have to entirely sacrifice either security or storage efficiency. In this system, present a scheme that permits a more fine-grained trade-off. The intuition is that outsourced data may require different levels of protection, depending on how popular it is: content shared by many users. Then present a novel idea that differentiates data according to their popularity. In this proposed system, implement an encryption scheme that guarantees semantic security for unpopular data and provides weaker security and better storage and bandwidth benefits for popular data. Proposed data de-duplication can be effective for popular data, also semantically secure encryption protects unpopular content. Finally, can use the backup recover system at the time of blocking and also analyze frequent login access system.
Virtual Classrooms As Pedagogical Mediation In Teaching-Learning Processes

The general aim of this research was the one to identify the incidence of the virtual classrooms like mediation pedagogical in the process of education-learning of the students of the Facultad de Educación Virtual y a Distancia of the Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, seat Bello, Colombia. To his time commissioned to describe how the educational of the Faculty implement strategies of virtual education for the acquisition of significant learnings by part of the students in the distinct courses that give. Methodologically, a Qualitative-phenomenological design was followed and Observation and Content Analysis were used as data collection techniques, and observation guides and analysis matrices as instruments. The study used four categories of analysis fundamentally: the planning, the use of multimedia resources the integration of the component of virtuality and the communication. The results showed that the educational do a basic utilisation of the diverse tools that has available in the platform Moodle to design strategies of virtual education that support his pedagogical process. At the end of the research the students recognised that to weigh that they exist new interactions and new channels of communication such as the forums, these do not give of constant way and are not the sufficiently effective so that they hit in new processes of learning.

Bitcoin : a solution for payment systems or a solution in search of a problem?

In October 2008 a mysterious article was published under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto: Bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Bitcoins entry into operation some months later in early 2009 barely caused a ripple. Since then, the scheme has accumulated more than half a million blocks in its blockchain and they include more than 300 million transactions. In view of the media impact of Bitcoin, it is worth explaining in some detail how Bitcoin works and what its limitations are. This article reviews the aims and basic functioning of Bitcoin, analyses its strengths and weaknesses, and discusses its usefulness as an exchange mechanism.

Improved probabilistic distance based locality preserving projections method to reduce dimensionality in large datasets

&lt;p&gt;In this paper, a dimensionality reduction is achieved in large datasets using the proposed distance based Non-integer Matrix Factorization (NMF) technique, which is intended to solve the data dimensionality problem. Here, NMF and distance measurement aim to resolve the non-orthogonality problem due to increased dataset dimensionality. It initially partitions the datasets, organizes them into a defined geometric structure and it avoids capturing the dataset structure through a distance based similarity measurement. The proposed method is designed to fit the dynamic datasets and it includes the intrinsic structure using data geometry. Therefore, the complexity of data is further avoided using an Improved Distance based Locality Preserving Projection. The proposed method is evaluated against existing methods in terms of accuracy, average accuracy, mutual information and average mutual information.&lt;/p&gt;
From Augmented Reality To Social Reality Through Learning And Knowledge Technologies

This paper focuses on describing a pedagogical experience carried out on a Multimedia and ICT subject belonging to a Migrations social awareness project which is being carried out at SAFA University Center. Given the fact that many students knew not so much about social topics, specially the international ones, with this experience authors have tried to show the importance of teaching the use of technology in a social context, as a way to better understand the real causes of migration phenomena. The main focus of the experience had to do with making students aware of how technology can help in creating social awareness and how it can help teachers to creating resources, which being technologically fashionable and useful can also contribute to create a social and fairer conscience in society. At the end, authors conclude that in the university it is possible to deal with social problems at the same time that student fulfil their academic purposes.
SEPARATING THE ANOMALOUS ZONES OF GAMMA-RAY SPECTROMETRIC DATA USING THE MEDIAN TO FIT THE MATHEMATICAL SURFACE ON EL-MISSIKKAT EL-GIDAMI AREA, CENTRAL EASTERN DESERT, EGYPT

Traditionally, the least-squares method is applied to separate the highly radioactive zones of gamma-rayspectrometric maps in order to find the normal radioactive background of the host rocks. In the presentstudy, the regional background of gamma-ray spectrometric data was calculated by using the medianinstead of least-squares method which is based on the mean. The obtained least-squares do not properly fitdue to the strong effect of the few outlier data points that are extremely high or low. The median is lessaffected by outliers and skewed data. If we reject these anomalous zones data, the proper fitting takes place.This study deals with using the median as a more suitable measure of central tendency for data classified onan ordinal scale. The mean is not suitable when the data include exceptionally high or low values becausethese have great influence on the outcome. The median was applied to the gamma-ray spectrometric (TotalCount) survey data of El-Missikkat-Gidami area to separate the radioactive anomalous zones from thenormal radiation of the host rocks.
/pol/itically Incorrect: Ideologies of Race, Anti-Semitism, Gender and Sexuality in the Everyday Linguistic Co-production of Transgression

Author(s): Wilson, Wesley Troy | Advisor(s): Mendoza-Denton, Norma | Abstract: Narratives of Internet transparency, coupled with the resurgence of White Supremacism and Nationalism in public discourses have highlighted the role that technological affordances play in co-constituting particular ways of being online. Based on online fieldwork conducted over ten months, this thesis explores the various ideological processes that inform highly explicit and transgressive language on “Politically Incorrect” – /pol/ – a politics-centered discussion board on infamous website 4chan.org. The three most central dimensions evoked by anonymous users (“Anons”) in everyday interaction and performance – that of race, anti-Semitism, and gender and sexuality – are identified herein to better understand 1) the various oppositional alignments taken against discursively-produced “others”, 2) how Anons evoke and legitimize a dominant language ideology of transgression more broadly, and 3) the interplay of media ideologies in these co-productive processes. I lastly conclude by proposing the concept of hegemonic counterpublics to more accurately frame how these alignments are evoked at strategic moments.
SISTEM INFORMASI PROFIL MAHASISWA PADA PENILAIAN PENGUJI PESSTA+ DI PERGURUAN TINGGI

Submission of information is an important thing in a system. A good system that is able to communicate to its users by conveying information correctly and clearly. In the examiner rating system found in Raharja College before the system still did not provide information about theprofile of the Thesis and Final Project students. Submitting the lack of information is felt to make the previously running system unable to communicate to its users. Therefore it is necessary to develop a student profile information system so that it can communicate to its usersclearly. After the examiner assessment system that has been developed becomes online, the student profile information system is also developed online by adding some information that can make the system more communicating to its users. Research to develop a student profile information system on the assessment of trial examiners using observational research methods, interviews and literature studies. The researcher made observations by looking at the shortcomings of the system, then conducting interviews with stakeholders, then the researchers sought similar research in order to solve the problems that had been obtained. It is expected that after being applied to the Testing Assessment system, the delivery of information regarding the profile of the Thesis trial and Final Project students can be better and clearer. Because information about student profiles is very important for examiners in providing trial scores to Thesis and Final Project students.
2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 중학교 국어 교과서의 문학 단원 연구 : 문학 교육과 청소년 소설의 적극적 융합을 위한 제언

This paper focuses on the literature section of middle school Korean textbooks according to the 2015 revised national curriculum. It analyzed the novels’ aspects in the literature section, pointing out that the number of literary works in the revised middle school Korean textbooks has significantly decreased in accordance with a decrease of the one of units as compared to the existing Korean textbooks. This study raises the necessity of novels to meet the needs of learners in the 21st century and to gain emotional sympathy from them, and this also suggests changes in the works. This calls for the increase of the number of novels and the inclusion of 'Juvenile Novels' in textbooks as well. The core concept of middle school Korean literature according to the 2015 revised national curriculum is focused on the nature of literature and attitudes toward literature. Hence, this study searched the juvenile novels that satisfy this concept and presents examples of those that are related to the achievement standards. Literature is an art work that represents human life in language. Through literature, we learn the joy and enlightenment of life and the way we communicate with others. This value of literature is noteworthy in the importance of literary education for students, asserting that the communication of aesthetic experiences and reflection of life through literature should be a yardstick in selecting juvenile novels. Literature Education should lead students to reflect on themselves, communicate with others, and make life easier for them to read literature. For this reason, it is important to bring juvenile literature into the textbook chapters so that middle school students can get easily access to more suitable literary works in their teens.

Commentary on "How Stable is Pitch Labeling Accuracy in Absolute Pitch Possessors?" by W. Gruhn, R. Ristmägi, P. Schneider, A. d'Souza, &amp; K. Kiilu

This paper is a brief commentary on the paper "How stable is pitch labeling accuracy in absolute pitch possessors" by W. Gruhn, R. Ristmägi, P. Schneider, A. d'Souza, and K. Kiilu. The original paper presents evidence for the influence of timbre on the pitch labeling accuracy of absolute pitch (AP) possessors. The presented data result from a solid methodology and show a clear pitch labeling accuracy drop from instrumental timbres to sinusoidal tones, with manipulated sounds being in the middle. The commentary underlines the view that the presented results are compatible with a memory perspective on AP and can be interpreted as evidence for the influence of training on the development of AP.

The Geology, Petrography, and Economic Potential of Parts of Nassarawa-Eggon and Environs, North Central Nigeria

Detailed geological mapping of the research area was carried out to update the previous information known about the geology of the study area on a scale of 1:12,500.Previous geologic research was carried out on smaller scales.The study area is located in Nassarawa-Eggon Local Government Area of Nassarawa State, North-Central, Nigeria, lying between Latitudes 8° 42' 13" and 8° 45' 00" N, and Longitudes 8° 30' 00" and 8° 32' 10" E. The new geologic map was produced to establish the relationship between different lithological units by mapping out distinct geologic boundaries, and delineating the general structural trend of associated geologic structures on a geologic map.Results from petrographic analysis of rock thin-sections obtained from the study area reveal the presence of Migmatite, Gneiss, Granite, Rhyolite, Quartzite and Dolerite.Associated geological structures observed include foliation, ptygmatic folds, dykes, veins and faults/joints.Rose plots indicate that the prevalent structural trends are in the NE-SW, NNE-SSW and N-S directions, which are peculiar to the Precambrian rocks of the Nigerian Basement Complex affected by the Pan-African Orogeny.The research area is enriched with economic mineral resources such as iron ore and amethyst, and the rocks are mostly quarried for engineering purposes.
“Autonomisation” of security and defence systems

&lt;i&gt;Development of systems with an evolving level of autonomy is among the most controversial and yet promising aspects of military forces’ modernisation. The application of quasi- artificial intelligence in combat machines opens a new uncharted area of possibilities. In essence, these modifications aim to reduce the extent of human interference in the functioning of unmanned systems virtually to none. The potential risks are explored in dangerous scenarios, which consider that apart from offering far-reaching advantages of using platforms with autonomic capabilities, they can be used against humanity. These scenarios assume a pivotal role in forecasting possible directions for development of the armed forces. This paper attempts to determine the essence of combat systems autonomy while focusing on a few of the most sensitive issues. For a transparent and credible debate on combat systems autonomy, it is adviseable that no ambiguity is present in terminological, ethical, legal and technological complexities, whose misinterpretation may become a source of unnecessary understatements or even lead to distortion of the debate.&lt;/i&gt;
Pseudo-Random Bit Generator Using Chaotic Seed for Cryptographic Algorithm in Data Protection of Electric Power Consumption

&lt;p&gt;Cryptographic algorithms have played an important role in information security for protecting privacy. The literature provides evidence that many types of chaotic cryptosystems have been proposed. These chaotic systems encode information to obviate its orbital instability and ergodicity. In this work, a pseudo-random cryptographic generator algorithm with a symmetric key, based on chaotic functions, is proposed. Moreover, the algorithm exploits dynamic simplicity and synchronization to generate encryption sub-keys using unpredictable seeds, extracted from a chaotic zone, in order to increase their level of randomness. Also, it is applied to a simulated electrical energy consumption signal and implemented on a prototype, using low hardware resources, to measure physical variables; hence, the unpredictability degree was statistically analyzed using the resulting cryptogram. It is shown that the pseudo-random sequences produced by the cryptographic key generator have acceptable properties with respect to randomness, which are validated in this paper using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) statistical tests. To complement the evaluation of the encrypted data, the Lena image is coded and its metrics are compared with those reported in the literature, yielding some useful results.&lt;/p&gt;
