Pricing and Budget Allocation for IoT Blockchain with Edge Computing

Attracted by the inherent security and privacy protection of the blockchain, incorporating blockchain into Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely studied in these years. However, the mining process requires high computational power, which prevents IoT devices from directly participating in blockchain construction. For this reason, edge computing service is introduced to help build the IoT blockchain, where IoT devices could purchase computational resources from the edge servers. In this paper, we consider the case that IoT devices also have other tasks that need the help of edge servers, such as data analysis and data storage. The profits they can get from these tasks is closely related to the amounts of resources they purchased from the edge servers. In this scenario, IoT devices will allocate their limited budgets to purchase different resources from different edge servers, such that their profits can be maximized. Moreover, edge servers will set "best" prices such that they can get the biggest benefits. Accordingly, there raise a pricing and budget allocation problem between edge servers and IoT devices. We model the interaction between edge servers and IoT devices as a multi-leader multi-follower Stackelberg game, whose objective is to reach the Stackelberg Equilibrium (SE). We prove the existence and uniqueness of the SE point, and design efficient algorithms to reach the SE point. In the end, we verify our model and algorithms by performing extensive simulations, and the results show the correctness and effectiveness of our designs.
Kernel K-Means Clustering untuk Pengelompokan Sungai di Kota Semarang Berdasarkan Faktor Pencemaran Air

K-Means Clustering is one of the types of non-hierarchical cluster analysis which is frequently used, but has a weakness in processing data with non-linearly separable (do not have clear boundaries) characteristic and overlapping cluster, that is when visually the results of a cluster are between other clusters. The Gaussian Kernel Function in Kernel K-Means Clustering can be used to solve data with non-linearly separable characteristic and overlapping cluster. The difference between Kernel K-Means Clustering and K-Means lies on the input data that have to be plotted in a new dimension using kernel function. The real data used are the data of 47 rivers and 18 indicators of river water pollution from Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (DLH) of Semarang City in the first semester of 2019. The cluster results evaluation is used the Calinski-Harabasz, Silhouette, and Xie-Beni indexes. The goals of this study are to know the step concepts and analysis results of Kernel K-Means Clustering for the grouping of rivers in Semarang City based on water pollution factors. Based on the results of the study, the cluster results evaluation show that the best number of clusters K=4
Discussing -splain

This discussion note offers a response to Judith Bridges’ focus article “Explaining ‘‑splain’ in digital discourse”. We review some of the article’s core findings on the bound morpheme ‑splain, utilised in words such as whitesplain, covidsplain, and thinsplain, and expand on them by addressing three key concerns: we situate the construction and use of ‑splain formations in a more expansive version of prescriptivism, what we refer to as ‘prescriptivism 2.0’; discuss them within the context of language policing and political correctness; and ask whether forms ending in ‑splain are subject to moral gradience, highlighting directions and opportunities for future research.
Effects of elementary school teachers’ psychological safety toward parents on creative educational practices

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the psychological safety of elementary school teachers toward parents would affect their creative educational practices. In this study, teachers at 22 public elementary school participated (N = 467 in Time 1, 405 in Time 2), and 351 teachers who could be used as longitudinal data and were still in charge of the classroom were analyzed. Results of factor analysis about creative educational practices revealed five factors: “promoting students’ autonomy to overcome their difficulties,” “challenges for new practices inside and outside the classroom,” “realization of education based on one’s beliefs,” “disclosure to students as a person,” and “practices to deepen exchange with students.” Based on the Latent Difference Score Model, we examined the influence of the psychological safety toward parents and creative educational practices. As a result, psychological safety toward parents promoted creative educational practices and good relationship with students, in both Level and Delta factors.
