Hybrid Discrete Event/Agent Based Model of Career Development.

This is Part 2 of article dedicated to modeling and simulation of career development processes. The simulation algorithm presented here is built on a combined platform of Discrete Events and Agent Based modeling. Main components of the model are employees/agents, the career history of each of which is reproduced in the model. The model takes into account individual characteristics of the agent, the structure and characteristics of the organization personnel policy and many other random factors inherent in career development processes. The hybrid model consists two main sub-models – the sub-model of the agent flow and the submodel of agents’ interaction, which provides simulation of career development processes. The Part 1 of the article presents the sub-model of the agent flow, which is based on the results of a survey of respondents and on a series of theoretical assumptions that made it possible to construct a Discrete Event model of the agent flow. In this part of the article, we present a detailed algorithm related to the Agent Based submodel of the career development processes. The article addresses the production and career components of the agent activity; two types of career mechanisms – a push and a pull movement; the emergence, development and influence of agent coalitions on career development process; the dynamic processes of the agent activity variation, and a number of other factors affecting the career development process.The algorithms were implemented in the form of Java code. The program code of the model allows you to track and store the career history of each agent, its interaction with other agents, the effect of the model parameters, and evaluate the contribution of each agent and group of agents to the organization's production achievements.

Constituency Parsing by Cross-Lingual Delexicalization

Cross-lingual transfer is an important technique for low-resource language processing. Temporarily, most research on syntactic parsing works on the dependency structures. This work investigates cross-lingual parsing on another type of important syntactic structure, i.e., the constituency structure. We propose a delexicalized approach, where part-of-speech sequences of rich-resource languages are used to train cross-lingual models to parse low-resource languages. We also investigate the measurements on the selection of proper rich-resource languages for specific low-resource languages. The experiments show that the delexicalized approach outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised models on six languages by a margin of 4.2 to 37.0 of sentence-level F1-score. Based on the experiment results, the limitation and future work of the delexicalized approach are discussed.
ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE: Usability Study on Textual and Graphical Passwords

One of the most common methods used for authentication are passwords, in particular textual passwords. However, maintaining multiple textual passwords across various websites or information systems could be an overwhelming task especially when it comes to memorability. An alternative is Graphical passwords as pictures could be easier to recollect. Pictures on the other hand could be memory intensive. As a result, this research explores the use of graphical and textual passwords by integrating the strong points of both password scheme thereby providing stronger authentication platform that may be difficult for attackers to break. The use of a background image for memorability and security purpose was adopted in the implementation of the graphical scheme. A usability experiment was carried out with users from diverse background. The users were given the developed system that integrates the two password applications to use. A questionnaire was then administered to enable them share their user experience. Results from the evaluation of the system showed high level of acceptance of the use of a graphical password scheme from participants, even though it was a relatively new concept to them. In particular, 82% of the users preferred graphical passwords as a more secure scheme against the other 18% who preferred the use of a textual password. The textual password length and combination was simplified by avoiding excessive length since the graphical password augmented in terms of security. Overall, 77% of the participants were able to successfully carry out each task highlighted in the questionnaire.
Educational Innovation Through Ict-Mediated Learning Strategies in the Initial Teacher Education of English Language Teachers (Innovación Educativa a Través De Estrategias De Enseñanza Mediadas Por Las Tic En La Formación Inicial De Profesores De Inglés)

English Abstract: This paper describes the results of the first cycle of a co-joint action research study in methodological innovation in pre-service language teacher education at a private university in Bogota, Colombia. The first part of the study consisted of implementing several ICT-mediated learning strategies that were designed considering the theoretical tenets of educational innovation, autonomy, and mediation. Strategies were implemented in three different academic spaces of a B.A. in Foreign Languages during the first semester of 2019. The purpose of this pedagogical implementation was to examine the value of ICT-mediated learning strategies for methodological innovation. The data analysis results, which were collected through a survey, indicate that ICT-mediated learning strategies play a fundamental role in methodological innovation because they promote collaborative and cooperative learning, foster autonomy, and self-directed learning. In addition, these strategies also seem to provide a range of possibilities for bolstering learning agency development on the part of the pre-service language teachers.Spanish Abstract: Este articulo presenta los resultados del primer ciclo de una investigacion accion.

On-the-fly Code Activation for Attack Surface Reduction

Modern code reuse attacks are taking full advantage of bloated software. Attackers piece together short sequences of instructions in otherwise benign code to carry out malicious actions. Eliminating these reusable code snippets, known as gadgets, has become one of the prime concerns of attack surface reduction. The aim is to break these chains of gadgets, thereby making such code reuse attacks impossible or substantially less common. Previous work on attack surface reduction has typically tried to eliminate such attacks by subsetting the application, e.g. via user-specified inputs, configurations, or features, or by focusing on third-party libraries to achieve high gadget reductions with minimal interference to the application. In this work we present a general, whole-program attack surface reduction technique called OCA that significantly reduces gadgets and has minor performance degradation. OCA requires no user inputs and leaves all features intact. OCA identifies specific program points and through analysis determines key function sets to enable/disable at runtime. The runtime system, thus, controls the set of enabled functions during execution, thereby significantly reducing the set of active gadgets an attacker can use, and by extension, cutting down the set of active gadget chains dramatically. On SPEC CPU 2017, our framework achieves 73.2% total gadget reduction with only 4% average slowdown. On 10 GNU coreutils applications, it achieves 87.2% reduction. On the nginx server it achieves 80.3% reduction with 2% slowdown. We also provide a gadget chain-breaking study across all applications, and show that our framework breaks the shell-spawning chain in all cases.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ТЕСТОВОГО КОНТРОЛЮ ДЛЯ ПРОВЕДЕННЯ ПІДСУМКОВОЇ АТЕСТАЦІЇ СТУДЕНТІВ ЗВО

For the development of a good evaluation instrument, persons who are involved in the process should follow all the recommended stages (planning, test specification, piloting, removing redundant items).The using of formative assessment in education allows us to conduct such tire as piloting (approbation) that is intended to obtain the statistical parameters of test items, which can be used in a summative assessment.Correct design of test forms for a formative assessment can provide sufficient capabilities for their equating and linking.In this work we are focused only on evaluating just one construct, which is commonly related to only one subject in university curriculum. According to this reason we described a common items equating technique for test items preequating.

QTN-VQC: An End-to-End Learning framework for Quantum Neural Networks

The advent of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers raises a crucial challenge to design quantum neural networks for fully quantum learning tasks. To bridge the gap, this work proposes an end-to-end learning framework named QTN-VQC, by introducing a trainable quantum tensor network (QTN) for quantum embedding on a variational quantum circuit (VQC). The architecture of QTN is composed of a parametric tensor-train network for feature extraction and a tensor product encoding for quantum embedding. We highlight the QTN for quantum embedding in terms of two perspectives: (1) we theoretically characterize QTN by analyzing its representation power of input features; (2) QTN enables an end-to-end parametric model pipeline, namely QTN-VQC, from the generation of quantum embedding to the output measurement. Our experiments on the MNIST dataset demonstrate the advantages of QTN for quantum embedding over other quantum embedding approaches.
PROBLEMS FACED BY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT STUDENTS IN CRITICAL READING

This research was conducted to find out problems faced by students in critical reading because based on preliminary research, it was found that the students had problems in reading. For that reason, this research used descriptive method to analyze the problems faced by students in critical reading. Population of the research was English department students of a university in Padang. Cluster sampling technique was used to choose sample. The sample was a class that consisted of 34 students. Data were taken by using test and interview. Try Out was also conducted before taking data. The result of test showed that the scores of students in the sub skills of critical reading were poor in average. From all students tested, none got scores in the range of 66-100. In contrast, 50.00 % of the students got score in the range of 41-55 (D), 35.29 % of them had score in the range of 0-40 (E), and there were only 14.70% students got score in the range of 56-65 (C). Then, based on interview done, the students admitted that they had problems in answering questions related to critical reading especially to the sub skills tested, writer’s purpose, writer’s tone, and writer’s point of view. The problems were vocabulary, background knowledge, complex sentences, knowledge of the skills, knowledge of strategies to know the skills, and others. Based on explanation above, it can be concluded that students’ critical reading ability is still poor and based on the interview, they had problems in critical reading. For that condition, it is suggested to English Department to revise the syllabus for teaching Reading Class. The lecturers are also hoped to give extra exercise and assignment related to critical reading to the students to make them become accustomed to reading.

An Empirical Study of Schema Theory and its Application in Improving University Students’ Writing Ability

The present study aimed at enhancing university students’ writing ability through using schema theory. The study adopted the quasi-experimental pre-posttest experimental-control group design. The participants consisted of 58 English foreign language (EFL) students and 51 EFL professors who had taught essay writing. The students were divided into two groups: 29 students in a control group and 29 students in an experimental group. To gather the data, the researcher used pre and post- essay writing tests, interviews, and a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The results of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the performance of the experimental group and the control group on the posttest in favor of the experimental group. This indicated that applying schema theory has a positive effect on improving university students’ writing ability. Finally, this study recommended that EFL teachers should encourage EFL students to share their prior experiences, knowledge, and information in the pre- writing phase in order to help them improve their writing skills.

Bayesian Regularization for Functional Graphical Models

Graphical models, used to express conditional dependence between random variables observed at various nodes, are used extensively in many fields such as genetics, neuroscience, and social network analysis. While most current statistical methods for estimating graphical models focus on scalar data, there is interest in estimating analogous dependence structures when the data observed at each node are functional, such as signals or images. In this paper, we propose a fully Bayesian regularization scheme for estimating functional graphical models. We first consider a direct Bayesian analog of the functional graphical lasso proposed by Qiao et al. (2019). We then propose a regularization strategy via the graphical horseshoe. We compare these approaches via simulation study and apply our proposed functional graphical horseshoe to two motivating applications, electroencephalography data for comparing brain activation between an alcoholic group and controls, as well as changes in structural connectivity in the presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our results yield insight into how the brain attempts to compensate for disconnected networks after injury.
African Banking Sector Development: The Roles of Remittances and Monetary Policy

The paper investigates the implications of international migrant remittances and monetary policy for banking sector development using a sample of 35 African countries over an eighteen-year period, 1996-2013. We provide additional insight by examining the complex interlocking of three key variables that are important for regulators: remittances, monetary policy and banking sector development. The results show that remittances promote banking sector depth, outreach and stability. We also find evidence to suggest that in middle- and high-income countries, an increase in remittance inflows and contraction of monetary policy are associated with a lowering of banking sector efficiency.
