An Action Research on the Application of TED Talks in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL)

For teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), English listening textbooks are always blamed for artificial lectures for teaching academic listening skills, and students complain about the listening, repeating, and filling in the blank way of teaching.To better solve these problems, the authors conducted a three-cycle of action research and tended to answer these two questions: (1) Are TED talks appropriate materials for use in class?(2) How do we use TED talks effectively in class?The action research showed that with certain selection criteria, TED talks can be appropriate materials for use in class.The way
Freedom of Expression in Diverse Democracies: Comparing Hate Speech Law in India and the EU

This chapter compares free speech law in India and the EU and focuses on the regulation of hate speech, which promises particular insights into the challenges of diverse democracies. In particular, we address two challenges to democracy that arise out of diversity: How does free speech law respond to inequality among different social groups? And how does hate speech law relate to collective identity as a basis for collective self-government? On the whole, Indian free speech law struggles with a tension between racialised colonial particularity in the arena of religion-based hate speech and a liberal-democratic universalism in the sphere of casteist hate speech. The focus of EU law has evolved from nationalist hate speech to islamophobic and xenophobic speech and retains a more federal structure. We ultimately argue for an approach that focuses on the power relations of inclusion and exclusion at play in the process of construction of a “unified public sphere” through the exercise of the polity’s hate speech laws.
Developing Embodied Interactive Virtual Characters for Human-Subjects Studies

Embodied interactive virtual characters, such as virtual humans or animals, have been actively used for various Virtual/Augmented / Mixed Reality (VAMR) applications, and researchers have developed different types of embodied virtual characters and studied their effects on the user’s perception and behavior. This tutorial aims to provide the audience with background knowledge on research in embodied interactive virtual characters and how to develop such interactive characters for their specific applications, particularly focusing on human-in-the-loop systems (Wizard of Oz paradigm). The tutorial will first explore the prior interactive virtual character research focusing on the social influence of these entities over the users, e.g., the sense of social presence, trust, collaboration, while discussing the recent trend of the convergence among IVAs, MR, and Internet of Things (IoT) in the scope of virtual characters interacting with the physical surroundings. We will also share our recent research findings and some lessons from our 5+ years of experience in researching interactive virtual characters and user studies at the Synthetic Reality Lab (SREAL), University of Central Florida (UCF). The tutorial will explain how to develop virtual characters in Unity using 3rd party assets and plugins, such as Mixamo and Rogo Digital’s LipSync. The audience will follow the step-by-step instructions with provided materials and eventually have a simple interactive virtual character that they can control through conventional 2D user interfaces, considering human-in-the-loop studies. The tutorial will also explain how to develop a sensing module to understand the current state of the surrounding environment, which can make a realistic connection between the physical and the virtual worlds. For example, an Arduino board with a couple of sensors, e.g., a wind sensor, can be used to detect the wind in the real environment and trigger the coherent events in the virtual environment, such as blowing a virtual ball on a table.
Analisis Pengamanan Jaringan Pada Protokol IPv6 Menggunakan Multi-Layer IPSec

Security is an important aspect in computer network operations. To support, computer network security, various security methods have been developed, both in application level security, such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), end-system level security, such as Socket Secure Layer (SSL), direct-link level security such as Multi Protocol Level Switching (MPLS) and IP layer security such as IP Security (IPSec). IPSec is a collection of protocols for securing networks through authentication and IP packet encryption. On the other hand, Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) as a network protocol is not safe enough and is no longer able to serve the needs of new IP addresses around the world, and will soon be replaced with IPv6. Therefore, it is necessary to examine various security methods that can be developed in IPv6. In this study, the author will analyze the Multi-Layer IPSec in securing IPv6 networks.

빅 히스토리의 관점에서 지구 환경 변화에 대한 예비교사들의 인식

The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of 63 pre-service teachers, with various majors who were attending teachers' college, about the global environment from a Big History perspective. The Big History is a perspective that regards the earth as a community, treats it as a history and emphasizes communication and coexistence between mankind, nature, and the universe. Although 60 percent of the pre-service teachers had negatively recognized the changes in the global environment from the past, 40 percent of them expressed negative views about the changes from the present to the future. The pre-service teachers who were positive about environmental changes, tended to increase from 21 percent to 31 percent, and pre-service teachers, who possessed a neutral perception, also tended to increase from 19 percent to 29 percent. The proportion of pre-service teachers who negatively perceived the changes in the global environment from the past to the present was relatively high. However, the changes from the present to the future illustrated the possibility that the earth's environment may be changed positively by humans. In the process of training teachers in teachers' college it is necessary to develop a program that enhances the environmental refinement of the pre-service teachers and provides an opportunity to improve upon the negative environmental awareness. The Big History is expected to be a useful educational method to achieve the goal of training the citizens of the earth to possess a global world view required for future generations.

Building Data Mining Decision Tree Model for Predicting Employee Performance

Human resource is one of the functions of a company that is considered as an asset. Therefo re, the theory of performance qualificat ion was adopted by the company in order to get an overview of employee performance. Furthermore, the company needs an effective method to predict the performance not only for the employees but also for the new applic ants. The goals of this research are to get a decision tree model of the employee performance. By learning employee data, the performance of the new applicants could be predicted. The study would provide the characteristic of new applicants who will give better performance than other applicants . The data from a company in Indonesia will have been used for this research. The data mining technique will be applied to the data of operators (such as admins, clerks, cashiers, machine operators, and security offi cers). The data mining technique was use d is decision tree. The decision tree technique was commonly used for a supervised learning data. The decision tree technique also has advantages compared others, because of its ability to produce information that is easy to understand. The result of this research shown the high dependency of employee performance with employment type (work contract). It also means that employees are encouraged to provide good performance to the company if those employees have become p ermanent employees. This research also showed that there is no relationship between employee performances with gender or position grade.
Elastic and Real-time Capacity Planning for Web Search Engines

Web search engines are complex systems deployed on large clusters of processors. With a constant growing number of users, Web search engines capacity must be frequently evaluated. Among other techniques, capacity planning methods are a good approach to estimate the amount of processors in cluster based systems, allowing data-center engineers to ensure enough computational resources are available to efficiently deal with the ever changing streams of user queries. In this paper, we present a novel capacity planning methodology that combines discrete-event simulation and classical operational analysis for open systems formulae. With this methodology, just a small fraction of deployments are evaluated to find an optimal assignment of resources given a target workload. We experimentally evaluate a simulation-based capacity planning module in combination with an OpenMP+MPI implementation of a Web search engine, that periodically evaluates its performance metrics in order to elastically adjust the amount of computational resources needed to support the current workload. Results show that the proposed methodology is able to quickly provide a new deployment configuration upon performance changes, ensuring that an strictly sufficient amount of computational resources are available to efficiently deal with users demands.
Research on Feature Point Cloud Extraction and Registration Based on SIFT-SRBICP Algorithm

In view of the low efficiency and poor stability of image feature point extraction, as well as the inaccurate matching problem caused by scale transformation and the poor registration effect caused by too large rotation angle change in the actual situation of point cloud, this paper compares and analyzes three algorithms of SIFT, SURF and ORB, respectively, and verifies that the SIFT algorithm is better than the other two algorithms in solving the problem of image feature point extraction. In this paper, the SIFT algorithm is used to extract feature points, and an improved SRBICP algorithm is proposed to register the point cloud. This method not only increases the randomness of initial pheromone and considers the boundary of scale matrix, but also adds some factors such as rotation angle constraint matrix, dynamic iteration coefficient and annealing coefficient to construct point cloud registration model. Finally, the Ubuntu operating system based on the open source GNU/Linux system is used to perform simulation experiments on the Ubuntu system platform. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm improves the registration accuracy by about 50%, and the registration speed by about 40% compared with the traditional ICP algorithm..

Cooperative Target Observation Moving Over a Planar Graph using a Modified Hill Climbing Search

Consider an urban scenario in which N aerial UAVs, each with limited radius of observation R, must patrol M > N targets moving on the surface.The movement of the UAVs is free while the movement of targets is restricted to certain paths, such as urban roads.Targets are friends who can, for example, be attacked by enemies.In this scenario, it can be assumed that the positions of the targets and the observers, obtained from GPS, are transmitted to a central command, and that the targets are collaborative, not avoiding the presence of the observers.This scenario is a new instance of the Cooperative Target Observation (CTO) problem.This work investigates a centralized algorithm, modified hill climbing, to command the UAVs with a view to maximize the average number of targets observed by at least one observer.The average performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of similar algorithms in this new problem setting.

EDUCATION, COMMUNICATION AND LITERACIES: PEDAGOGY AND INNOVATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN PORTUGAL AND SPAIN: doi>10.24250/JPE/1/2020/LMC

Contemporary society, dominated by inexhaustible sources ofinformation, complex social and generational changes implies that teachingand learning are increasingly associated with these transformations,implying a new teacher profile for the 21st century. The student isincreasingly immersed in technology and there is a clear need to rethink thepedagogical innovation in Higher Education, namely when we associateeducation, pedagogy and the different literacies that must be taken to theclassroom. METHOD. In order to establish a debate on what a professorneeds to improve his/her teaching and get to his/her students, we havedesigned a questionnaire considering the main aspects on literacies ineducation and presented it to two target groups, one in Portugal and one inSpain. RESULTS. The results obtained are very similar in both cases: 100%of the students agreed that contemporary society needs more specificlanguage to code and decode information and that the analysis of thisinformation society challenges must be carried into the classroom, althoughthey differ sometimes in the importance of one literacy or another.DISCUSSION. With this study, we can conclude that teachers in HigherEducation clearly need to enhance different contemporary skills in order tocorrespond to the expectations of the generation of digital natives and copewith the technological and informational changes that affect the currenteducational system.
