The study on institutionalization of war

전쟁의 규모와 피해가 대량화 되면서 전쟁을 체계적으로 규율하고 제도화 현상이 일어나게 되었다. 오늘날에는 전쟁은 국제법을 적용받는 상황이 되었다. 2차례 세계대전을 통하여 국제사회에서 ‘국제연맹’과 ‘유엔’을 정식으로 발족하게 하였고 이제는 지구상에서 발발하는 전쟁은 대부분 유엔의 통제 또는 재제를 받고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 전쟁의 제도화 과정을 분석하였다. 현대전은 전쟁의 형태가 다양해지면서 나폴레옹 이후 국가 단위의 총력전으로 제도화 되었다. 그러나, 현대전은 벌써 새로운 형태의 전쟁이 세계 도처에서 발생하고 있다. 인류의 문화가 발전하듯이 전쟁의 형태나 방법 등도 지속적으로 발전한다. 따라서 총력전으로 제도화 된 이후 발생하고 있는 전쟁의 형태변화에 대하여 새로운 각도에서 접근하여 분석하고 연구하는 노력이 지속되어야 할 것이다.As the size and damage of war became more massive, war became systematically disciplined and institutionalized, and today wars are subject to international law. The international community has formally launched the International Federation and the United Nations through two World Wars, and now most of the wars that occur on the planet are under the control or restraint of the United Nations. A common concern that would cause minimal casualties at minimal cost in carrying out the war and give a lot of losses to the enemy tied them together. The battle was made in certain stages and forms, such as marching, military deployment, fire, transport, and siege; personal action was never tolerated in combat. Strategy and tactics were highly standardized; each country imitated the organization and operation of the army to one another. In this view, this study analyzed the institutionalization process of war, and as the form of war became more diverse, modern war became institutionalized as the total war of the nation after Napoleon. However, modern warfare has already occurred in all parts of the world, and as human culture develops, the form and method of war continue to develop. Therefore, efforts to analyze and study the changes in the form of war that have occurred since the institutionalization of total war should be continued from a new angle.
Shannon entropy associated with electrochemically generated ion concentration gradients

In this work, we discuss Shannon entropy in relation to ion distribution in solutions.Shannon entropy is a key concept of information theory.Discussion of ion solutions informational entropy is essential for consideration of ions as information carriers in iontronic devices.We studied entropy associated with ions redistribution using model electrochemically triggered local ion fluxes.For this purpose, we utilized bare gold electrodes as well as covered by polyelectrolyte layers and lipids.Modification of the electrode surface leads to a change of ion flux triggered by hydroquinone oxidation.Consequently, various distribution of ions in solution can be obtained.Shannon entropy was evaluated for diverse ion distributions.
CMFRAME: a Framework for Managing Dynamic and Hierarchical Context Histories

With the growing availability of devices capable of capturing information about their surroundings and the expansion of mobile connectivity, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are increasingly been integrated into society. For IoT solutions to emerge successfully on the market, they will employ more than traditional mobile computing, but they will also require the use of everyday objects in an interconnected way. This interconnected world will support the intelligence in environments. In order to provide this infrastructure for environments, it will be necessary to propose platforms for software development based on context awareness and context processing. In this sense, this article proposes CMFrame, a framework for managing contextual information captured from physical environments using hierarchical and dynamic entities. CMFrame allows that entities to modify their hierarchical organization to manage environments and their related contexts. Contexts linked to each entity are also dynamic and can store different amounts of values at any time. The article presents the proposed framework and its evaluation through two applications focused on intelligent environments. The first is dedicated to monitor the movements of entities in an environment, and the second addresses energy monitoring. The scientific contribution of CMFrame is the proposal to abstract the management of dynamic and hierarchical context histories through a framework.

Singlow: Simulator for General Network Flow Problems

Simulation is an important process and an inevitable part of engineering. There are several applications of simulation with one of the important being visualization of complex methods and processes. This paper aims at creating a simulator for general network flow optimization problems. This work uses a modular approach for creating a simulator. A simulator in this area is necessary for several reasons. The main reason for requirement is its usefulness in explaining the problems to the people/students who might use these kinds of network optimization methods to solve several variety of problems. This simulator can simulate standard problems namely transportation problems with various methods, network flow problem and some popular problems in that area. This simulator will be helpful for educational institutions to teach the students about the standard problems on network flow optimization. Here this paper proposes a framework i.e. Singlow for the above mentioned purpose. This paper explains the framework with the flow of execution by keeping in mind a general simulation software. The Simulator has been designed and implemented using Processing 3.4, a software which facilitates designing graphical user interfaces.
Privacy-Preserving Scheme Against Inference Attack in Social Networks

Social networks analytics provide enormous business values for organizational and societal growth. Massive volumes of social network data get collected in every moment and released to other parties for various business objectives. The collected data play an important role in designing policies, plans and future projection of business strategies. These social network data carry sensitive information, and therefore, the adversary can exploit users profile and social relationships to disclose their privacy. Inference attack using the mining technique poses a crucial concern for privacy leakage in social networks. In this paper, we present a privacy-preserving scheme against inference attack. The proposed scheme adds spurious data in the published dataset such that sensitive information is not predicted using mining techniques. The proposed scheme is analyzed against a strong adversarial model, where an adversary is allowed to gather background knowledge from different sources. We have experimented the proposed scheme on real-social network dataset and the experimental results show that the privacy-preserving property of the proposed scheme outperforms in comparison with other related schemes.
Effect of Demographic Factors on Organizational Citizenship Behaviour

Organizations are shifted away from the use of strict hierarchal structures and individualized jobs. Instead autonomous team-based work structures have been implemented, and this implementation has increased the importance of individual initiative and cooperation. As a result, the organizational citizenship behaviour, contributes indirectly to the organizations through the maintenance of various personal and organizational characteristics have gained more importance than ever before. In the present study an attempt is made to understand the relationship between age, gender, type of bank, income, experience and organizational citizenship behaviour. Respondents were selected from public, private and foreign banks. The results reveals that type of bank did not have a significant relationship with organizational citizenship behaviour.

Mathematical Simulation of the Plate–Beam Interaction Affected by Colored Noise

The article presents a mathematical simulation of interaction between a plate and a beam locally supporting the plate in its center. The system is exposed to an external transverse load and external additive colored noise (pink, red, white). The structure is located in a steady temperature field, accounted for in the Duhamel-Neumann theory by solving 3D (plate) and 2D (beam) heat conduction equations, using finite difference method (FDM). Heat transfer between the plate and the beam is disregarded. Kirchhoff simulation was used for the plate and the Euler–Bernoulli simulation was used for the beam. The mathematical simulation accounts for physical nonlinearity in elastically deformable materials. B. Y. Kantor’s theory is applied to simulate contact interaction. The differential equation set is reduced to the Cauchy problem, using the highest-approximation Bubnov–Galerkin methods or spatial-variable FDM. The Cauchy problem is solved using the fourth-order Runge–Kutta or Newmark method. I. A. Birger’s iterative procedure is used at each time step for analyzing a physically nonlinear problem. Numeric results are analyzed using the methods of nonlinear dynamics (signal patterning, phase portraits, Poincaré sections, Fourier and Wavelet power spectra, analysis of the Lyapunov exponents using the Wolf, Kantz, and Rosenstein methods). The convergence of the methods is studied. Different methods are used to obtain reliable results. Numerical results on the effect of colored noise on plate–beam interaction are presented. Additive red noise shows more significant effect on the vibrations and the plate–beam interaction than white and pink noises.
Using Test Theories Models to Assess Senior Secondary Students Ability in Constructed-Response Mathematics Tests

Testing is essential in education and other behavioural science fields because many decisions and policies are made according to the results of testing.It is therefore, imperative that besides ensuring that the test items are valid and reliable, the scoring of the items must be reliably and validly conducted.It has been established by chief examiners of examining bodies that students most times obtained low scores in the constructed-response items aspect of mathematics and this could be as a result of the assessment procedures adopted by the examination bodies.Also, many research works have been carried out to confirm the similarity between West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO) in Nigeria using multiple choice items.Against this backdrop, this study assessed the ability of senior secondary students in constructed-response mathematics tests of WAEC and NECO with test theories models and as well established the similarity between the two examinations.Non-experimental design of ex post facto type was adopted.The target population consists of all senior secondary school students in Ibadan Metropolis of Oyo State in Nigeria.Simple random sampling was used to randomly sample 24 schools and 1151 students.The compulsory section A of Paper II of three years past constructed-response items of WAEC and NECO were used as instruments for data collection.Data collected were analysed using mean, standard deviation, Person Product Correlation Movement; Classical Test Theory, generalized partial credit and graded response models of Item Response Theory.Results of the finding shows that students mean score in the examinations were below 50% using CTT and above 50% using IRT models respectively.It was concluded that the two examinations mathematics constructed-response items are equal and IRT models are more efficient and reliable in determining students' ability compare to CTT.
Secure Electronic Payment Methods for Online Shopping Based on Visual Cryptography

Phishing and identity theft are common threats of online shopping. Phishing is an attempt to steal personal data from legitimate user. In this paper we propose a secure e-payment method using a credit card based on visual cryptography. This method adopts the existing 3D-Secure technology. Visual cryptography is applied in: user-merchant authentication, user-card provider authentication, user-card issuer authorization. It is applied to captcha image generated by merchant during registration using (2, 2) scheme with 2-subpixel expansion, to a text file containing credit card information sent by merchant to the card provider using (2, 2) scheme with pixel replacement, and to quick response code containing one-time-password that is used to authorize the payment transaction using (2, 2) scheme with 4-subpixel expansion. The test results show that out of 100 trials, all of them give 100% true positive. This indicates that the method is able to prevent phishing and identity theft, in sense of authentication, authorization, confidentiality, and integrity are gained. Phishing can be prevented because only legitimate participant who has an image share. Identity theft can be prevented because credit card details are not stored in the merchant’s database. Authorization is more guaranteed because only authenticated user can authorize the payments.
La conoscenza dell'italiano e i processi di integrazione

Among the social effects of the growth of the immigrant population, whatappears to be the most interesting and full of cultural and political consequencesis represented by the phenomenon of multilingualism. As a result offoreign immigration, countries – such as Italy – have become countries wherea variety of languages are spoken. The mastery of the language of the countryof reception, however, is essential for the full integration of immigrants in different contexts of society, promoting their cultural, social and economicintegration and becoming more and more often a necessary requirement forthe acquisition of citizenship. In this paper we intend to identify the actualor self-perceived level of knowledge of the Italian language and the maincharacteristics that language learning assumes in the immigrant populationpresent in Italy. Finally, a special focus will be dedicated to the issue of learningItalian by immigrant students or students of immigrant origin. To analysethe phenomenon of multilingualism among people of foreign origin regularlyresident in Italy and their perception of the degree of learning of Italian,we referred to the survey Condizione e integrazione sociale dei cittadinistranieri, carried out by istat in 2011-12. In particular, we considered peopleborn abroad and in Italy, still foreign or naturalized, at least 6 years old at thetime of the survey. Finally, with the information available thanks to the invalsievidence, the actual level of knowledge of the Italian language on the part ofimmigrant students or students of immigrant origin was verified.

Prototipação de Aplicativo para comunicação entre médicos e pacientes para a clínica Pró Cuore

When the patient goes to the doctor for answers about their illness and treatment, and all the emotional burden, they need to deal with a wealth of information about their health problem, what they can and cannot do, among other things. This generates many doubts, especially outside the consultation, sometimes fear or insecurity. But doctors need to take care of many patients at the same time, repeat the same guidelines over and over, always seeking the best for patients, but not having so much time to follow up with all cases with quality. This project's goal is bring empowerment to the patient and agility to the doctor, making their relationships closer, beyond the consultation. Used the Design Thinking methodology (model proposed by the Hasso-Plattner Design Institute in Stanford of five steps: empathise, definition, ideation, prototype and test), the UX Design approach and tools such as: Personas, Empathy Map, User Journey, Insights Cards, Requirements List, Mind Map, Brainstorming, Ideal User Journey, Blueprint, Content Inventory, Sitemap, User Flow, Sketch, Wireframes and Workflows, generating a prototype of a mobile application, where the patient can make their appointments, follow up their treatment, send their questions to chat at any time with your doctor, forward exam files, etc. - and where the doctor can manage their schedule, track each patient's steps, determine how many exams or returns will be needed, clear small questions and avoid having your patient travel long distances unnecessarily. It is a way to improve people's quality of life without losing the most important thing: their personal relationship.

A Study on Methodology of Digital-SOP System for Effective Disaster Response

The disaster situation in buildings with a large number of people is essential for fast judgement and securing Golden time, which is directly linked to human casualty, in accordance with rapid systematic response. In order to compensate for the problems of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), a passive response in the form of simple documentation manual, this study presents a methodology for the establishment of a system-oriented real time-based disaster Standard Operating Procedure (Digital-SOP) system that can be effectively responded. First, the system and people's tasks are defined in detail, reflecting the facility's use and characteristics, and based on this, the disaster-specific digital SOP scenario is designed to take into account the time flow. The tasks and scenarios outlined earlier are created/composed through Digital-SOP System and are operated in real time in connection with sensors/facilities built in the facility in the event of a disaster starting with abnormal signal detection. Human tasks at the site can be communicated using mobile and fed back real-time whether or not work is done or not, enabling communication between the site and the disaster prevention center, and providing situation information that can help the general disaster manager make quick decisions.

Spanish Sentiment Analysis Using Universal Language Model Fine-Tuning: A Detailed Case of Study

Transfer Learning has emerged as one of the main image classification techniques for reusing architectures and weights trained on big datasets so as to improve small and specific classification tasks. In Natural Language Processing, a similar effect is obtained by reusing and transferring a language model. In particular, the Universal Language Fine-Tuning (ULMFiT) algorithm has proven to have an impressive performance on several English text classification tasks. In this paper, we aim at improving current state-of-the-art algorithms for Spanish Sentiment Analysis of short texts. In order to do so, we have adapted a ULMFiT algorithm to this setting. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show the potential of our approach.
Chaotic Charged System Search Algorithm

Optimization algorithms are frequently used in literature in order to be able to obtain a suitable solution, within acceptable times, for the problems which are impossible to solve with numerical methods or which take a long time to solve. Recently, an increasing number of optimizations have been designed and contributed to the literature. Besides, many of the designed algorithms show a great similarity with each other. Therefore, researchers do studies on strong and decisive optimization algorithms with various methods. The aim of these studies is to make the algorithm stronger, faster and more decisive. One of these aforementioned methods is the use of chaotic number generators in random number generations while forming the initial populations of the algorithms with good results, which has been applied to many algorithms. In this study, five different chaotic number generators with different structures have been integrated to charged system search (CSS) algorithm which is one of the strong optimization algorithms and has been applied in the solution of many problems successfully and chaotic charged system search (CCSS) algorithms have been proposed. In order to evaluate the performances of these suggested algorithms and to define which chaotic structure is more compatible with CSS algorithm, five unimodal test functions have been solved and the obtained results have been evaluated. In the suggested algorithms, while forming the particles in the first population, the first particle has been positioned in the search space randomly. As for the other particles, they have been positioned depending on the position of the first particle by using chaotic mapping methods. Namely, the individuals have spread in the search space according to a chaotic order, not randomly. The selected five chaotic methods have been defined as Duffing, Gauss/Mouse, Henon, Icmic ve Ikeda mapping methods. The test functions solved in the study are Schwefel’s No: 2.22, Schwefel’s No: 1.2, Schwefel’s No: 2.21 and Rosenbrock functions. All functions have been solved 30 times each for 30 dimension and the statistical results and the graphics have been given.
