Examination of Restriction of Free Speech under International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in Reference to Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016, Pakistan

This study aimed to explore the regime for the restriction of freedom of speech under ICCPR. Besides, it assesses the standards and level of freedom of speech restriction under technology law in Pakistan, PECA-2016. A through document analysis of ICCPR and cyber law depicts that at the standards for freedom of speech is far below then the criteria given in an Article 19(3). Furthermore, it appeals to the policy makers and legislators to bring the restriction of freedom of speech in technology law Pakistan at par with that of ICCPR. Nevertheless, it should be amended or repealed to improve the standards for the freedom of speech in the technology law in Pakistan (PECA-2016).
Recommended Method of Electricity Sales Package Taking into Account Spark and Attribute Weights

By aiming at huge user groups in the power market and the difficult selection of power selling packages in the trading process, a recommendation method of power selling packages based on Spark was proposed. At the same time, the scalability And real-time issues of the packages in the big data environment is also solved. First, the weight values of each package attribute were calculated, and the comprehensive similarity was calculated. Then, taking into account both the user and packages, a recommended method of packages was proposed to achieve the accurate recommendation of power selling packages. Experiments show that the proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy of recommendation and has good recommendation efficiency and scalability in distributed environment.
Making Sense of IS Project Stories

Stories of failure make a compelling read. However, researchers with a keen interest in information systems failures face a double challenge. Not only is it difficult to obtain intimate details about the circumstances surrounding such failures, but there is also a dearth of information about the type of methods and approaches that can be utilized to collect, describe, and disseminate such information. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight some of the available approaches and to clarify and enhance the methodological underpinning available to researchers. The chapter begins by framing IS project failures in context, before highlighting the role of forensic failure investigation and the typical tools employed in gathering information. It encourages a move from case studies to case histories to capture the essence, dynamics, and complexities of failure stories. It concludes by introducing a new range of ante-narrative approaches that represent future developments in the study of IS failures, enabling a richer interpretation of linked factors that underpin IS failures.
Runtime Reusable Weaving Model for Cloud Services Using Aspect-Oriented Programming

Cloud computing technology has opened an avenue to meet the critical need to securely share distributed resources and web services, and especially those that belong to clients who have sensitive data and applications. However, implementing crosscutting concerns for cloud-based applications is a challenge. This challenge stems from the nature of distributed Web-based technology architecture and infrastructure. One of the key concerns is security logic, which is scattered and tangled across all the cloud service layers. In addition, maintenance and modification of the security aspect is a difficult task. Therefore, cloud services need to be extended by enriching them with features to support adaptation so that these services can become better structured and less complex. Aspect-oriented programming is the right technical solution for this problem as it enables the required separation when implementing security features without the need to change the core code of the server or client in the cloud. Therefore, this article proposes a Runtime Reusable Weaving Model for weaving security-related crosscutting concerns through layers of cloud computing architecture. The proposed model does not require access to the source code of a cloud service and this can make it easier for the client to reuse the needed security-related crosscutting concerns. The proposed model is implemented using aspect orientation techniques to integrate cloud security solutions at the software-as-a-service layer.
Importance Resampling

SummaryResampling is the action of drawing randomly from a weighted sample, so as to obtain an unweighted sample. Resampling may be viewed as a random weight importance sampling technique. However it deserves a separate chapter because it plays a central role in particle filtering. In particular, we explain that resampling has the curious property of potentially reducing the variance at a later stage, provided that this later stage corresponds to a Markov update that forgets its past in some way. This point is crucial for the good performance of particle algorithms.This chapter explains informally this particular property, formalises importance resampling, describes several algorithms to perform resampling, and compares these algorithms numerically.

This Is Not an Improvisation: Letitia Landon and the Slipperiness of Taxonomy

Writing in 2007, in The Wordsworth Circle, Jeffrey Robinson remarked on the “ephemerality” of improvisational poetry, its fundamental resistance to being “preserved.” Printed poetry is typically regarded as “fixed” and static: what any poem represents as improvisation is, at best, only a record, executed in a fixed medium, of a performance whose infinite variability is inherent in the nature of improvisation itself. Partly an homage to Rene Magritte’s This is Not a Pipe (1928–29) and to Michel Foucault’s 1973 essay on that painting, and using as a test case The Improvisatrice (1825), the long poem by Letitia Elizabeth Landon, herself a devotee of interdisciplinary and multimedia performance, this essay considers the physical, structural, and methodological challenges and limitations posed to printed “word art” by works that purport to be, or aspire to the condition of, “improvisations.” The improvisatrice who is the poem’s narrator claims to be both a painter and a songstress, but her “speech,” captured and rendered in printed words by Landon (who ventriloquizes that speech), can neither “be” nor even “represent” a work produced (“performed”) in visual art or vocal song. In her long poem Landon effectively creates a literary trompe l’oeil, an illusion that depends for its “completion” upon the reader’s implied participation in that performative act of completion. In the process, Landon’s poem reveals the fundamental incompatibility of improvisational literary production with the performative nature of improvisation.
Foreword

In the mids of cold northern winds and landscape covered with snow we are pleased to announce the first ALA issue of the year 2019, which contains six research articles. Warm congratulation goes to all the authors, and words of appreciation to the Editorial team and recently enlarged proofreading team that have been working very hard in order to offer state-of-the-art contemporary linguistic research in this journal.&#x0D; The present issue is opened up by Mayuri J. DILIP and Rajesh KUMAR, who present a unified account of licensing conditions of Negative Polarity Items (NPI) in Telugu. In their work “Negative Polarity Items in Telugu” they analyze the distribution of NPIs in complex sentences with embedded clauses, and conclude that negation c-commanding NPI be conducted at the base-generated position.&#x0D; Kun SUN with his article “The Integration Functions of Topic Chains in Chinese Discourse” thoroughly presents the long and extensive Chinese research tradition on topic chains, and re-examines their core characteristics with the help of the so-called “integration functions”.&#x0D; The following paper “Tracing the Identity and Ascertaining the Nature of Brahmi-derived Devanagari Script” by Krishna Kumar PANDEY and Smita JHA exploits the orthographic design of Brahmi-derived scripts. Authors argue that such scripts should not be described with the existing linguistic properties of alphabetic and syllabic scripts but should instead gains its own categorization with a unique descriptor.&#x0D; Chikako SHIGEMORI BUČAR successfully submitted the article “Image of Japan among Slovenes” in which she represents the process and mechanism of borrowing from Japanese into Slovene. Conclusions briefly touch the image of Japan seen through the borrowing process and consolidated loanwords, and predict possible development of borrowing in the near future.&#x0D; Another interesting paper “Understanding Sarcastic Metaphorical Expression in Hindi through Conceptual Integration Theory” was authored by Sandeep Kumar SHARMA and Sweta SINHA. Based on a corpus of five thousand sentences, authors examine the abstract notion of sarcasm within the framework of conceptual integration theory, and with special reference to Hindi language. Findings aim to provide a theoretical understanding on how Hindi sarcasm is perceived among the native speakers.&#x0D; And last but not least, Điệp Thi Nhu NGUYỄN, An-Vinh LƯƠNG, and Điền ĐINH humbly observe research backlog in the area of Vietnamese text readability and write their paper “Affection of the part of speech elements in Vietnamese text readability” to encourage researchers to further explore the field and put Vietnamese findings on the world’s map.&#x0D; Editors and Editorial Board wish the regular and new readers of the ALA journal a pleasant read full of inspiration.
Insider Attack Analysis in Building Effective Cyber Security for an Organization

Recent studies have shown that, despite being equipped with highly secure technical controls, a broad range of cyber security attacks were carried out successfully on many organizations to reveal confidential information. This shows that the technical advancements of cyber defence controls do not always guarantee organizational security. According to a recent survey carried out by IBM, 55% of these cyber-attacks involved insider threat. Controlling an insider who already has access to the company's highly protected data is a very challenging task. Insider attacks have great potential to severely damage the organization's finances as well as their social credibility. Hence, there is a need for reliable security frameworks that ensure confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and availability of organizational information assets by including the comprehensive study of employee behaviour. This chapter provides a detailed study of insider behaviours that may hinder organization security. The chapter also analyzes the existing physical, technical, and administrative controls, their objectives, their limitations, insider behaviour analysis, and future challenges in handling insider threats.
Cultural Hyperobjects

An elaborate analysis of a campaign launched by Gucci in 2018 sheds light on a specific phenomenon for which the term “cultural hyperobject” is coined. Through the details, the reader grasps the nuances of the creative process, itself a state during which creatives may be able to capitalize on the various stages of analysis of the material culture around them. While for most designers this happens on an intuitive level, a methodical practice of the steps involved in the analysis can train anyone to a heightened sensitivity towards societal and cultural changes. It is this constant back and forth between exploring a specific question and then opening up the field for a more holistic approach to design that leads to novelty while also tapping into the undertones of human behaviors.

An Efficient and Effective Index Structure for Query Evaluation in Search Engines

In this chapter, the authors discuss an efficient and effective index mechanism for search engines to support both conjunctive and disjunctive queries. The main idea behind it is to decompose an inverted list into a collection of disjoint sub-lists. The authors associate each word with an interval sequence, which is created by applying a kind of tree coding to a trie structure constructed over all the word sequences in a database. Then, attach each interval, instead of a word, with an inverted sub-list. In this way, both set intersection and union can be conducted by performing a series of simple interval containment checks. Experiments have been conducted, which shows that the new index is promising. Also, how to maintain indices, when inserting or deleting documents, is discussed in great detail.
Activity

At inception, the study of control processes demands an IT auditor identify and relate applicable auditing standards to control activities. An IT audit controls study produces sufficient audit area documentation, demonstrating a comprehensive investigation concerning IT and related manual processes associated with the defined auditable units. Most business processes have control measures assisting in accomplishing the audit area's control objectives. Chapter 3 covers the IT audit study of control activity through presenting tasks addressing internal and external control systems, general and application controls, as well as laws and regulations. Additionally, Chapter 3 discusses the documentation of audit evidence.
Artificial Neural Network for Soiling Prediction on Csp: Experimental Measurements, Modeling and Multi-Weather Validation

In this study, we developed an Artificial Neural Network model able to predict soiling impact on Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants using only meteorological data as input. To do so, a soiling assessment campaign has been conducted to measure a solar mirror cleanliness index (Kindex) for 23 months at Green Energy Park (GEP) research facility (32°13'16.9"N, 7°55'44.7"W), Benguerir, Morocco. After that, 70% of the Kindex data were used to train the developed an ANN model using meteorological data as input. The rest of the data were used for testing and validation. To better check the model accuracy, two other validation steps were conducted using weather and Kindex data measured at two different sites (Évora, Portugal, and Móstoles, Spain). Results show that developed ANN algorithm can be considered as performant for predicting soiling impact on solar mirrors, where average deviation is of -0.52% for Morocco, -0.56% for Portugal and -1.08% for Spain. Regarding correlation coefficients, r2equals 0.873 for Morocco, 0.864 for Portugal and 0.744 for Spain.
Polar Transformation Based Rotation Convolution Network for Oriented Object Detection

Recently, oriented object detection has made considerable progress in the field of remote sensing image interpretation. However, there are still some challenges for oriented objects including the dense distribution, the different shapes and the multi-scale. To put the axe in the helve, we propose a Polar Oriented Object Detector (PO <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> Det) modeled in polar coordinates. The PO <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> Det consists of the Feature Rotation Alignment Module (FRAM) and the Polar Detection Head (PDH). Firstly, the FRAM is designed to enhanced representation properties of the model to objects in the situation of dense distribution and different shapes by adjusting the sampling location of the convolution kernels to adapt to the shapes, the sizes and the orientations of the targets. Then, the PDH can obtain oriented bounding boxes by predicting two polar angles as well as one polar radius in polar coordinates, where the scales of the oriented objects can be both more clearly expressed by one polar radius than Cartesian coordinates to optimize multi-scale target detection ability of the model. Experimental results on the two commonly remote sensing datasets (i.e., DOTA and HRSC2016) proved that PO <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> Det can achieve the up-to-date performance.

In this paper we present the functionalities provided through this service. Moreover, we describe the IoT service architecture, its components, as well as the challenge of re-designing and extending existing tools to obtain a cloud-native solution that can be scaled to accommodate multiple users and to reduce the execution time of the analysis procedures.
A Framework for Software Component Reusability Analysis using Flexible Software Components Extraction

With the adaptation of DevOps and agile methodologies for software developments, the demand from the consumers of the software applications are increasing to fulfil short time development phases. The application development community is facing the everlasting challenge of managing the bottleneck of timely delivery and quality of the software. The software quality being one of the most important factors to maintain the market reputation and the customer satisfaction, cannot be compromised. The software development companies have also tried adopting the strategies of deploying highly skilled development team in order to reduce the development life cycle span. Thus, several research attempts are made to identify the correct software reusable components for any projects. Nonetheless, the recent research outcomes are challenged by the development community with the arguments of reliability as different applications from different domain demands unique specifications and standards to be matched. Also, the components, which are to be reused for other specifications, must match the compliances of that specification. Considerably, identification of the reusable components is always a challenge and it is observed that the identification of the flexible components, for which matching the domain specification is easy, is also high complex process. Finally, finding the ideal coupling point of the identified modules are also a significant challenge. Thus, this research proposes a novel framework for identification of the flexible components for reuse in software development life cycle and identifies the unique coupling points of these components. Firstly, this work analyses the software components for features to be identified as flexible components using the deep extraction algorithm. The deep extraction algorithm demonstrates a novel characteristic for extracting feature based on the external and internal feature dependencies. The extracted features are also ranked based on the degree of independency and finally listed based on given ranks for reusability. Secondly, the extracted features are tested for outcome-based equivalence to ensure best reusability from the component library. Due to the multi – level equivalency analysis, this proposed framework provides higher accuracy and lower time complexity using the moderate number of extracted features for component analysis.
Achieving Secure and Flexible M-Services Through Tickets

This chapter describes a secure and flexible access control scheme and protocol for M-services based on role based access control (RBAC). The access control architecture involves a Trusted Credential Centre (TCC), a Trusted Authentication and Registration Centre (TARC) and a secure ticket based mechanism for service access. Users and service providers register with the TARC and are authenticated. Based on this, tickets are issued by the TCC to the users. Tickets carry authorization information needed for the requested services. In particular, we are able to specify access control polices based on roles. The protocols between the various entities in the model are protected using appropriate security mechanisms such as signatures, which are used to verify correctness of the requested service as well as to direct billing information to the appropriate user. Our architecture supports efficient authentication of users and service providers over different domains and provides a secure access model for services to users. Our model is also able to support anonymity of users. Only the TCC is able to identify the misbehaving users. In summary, we believe that the proposed architecture forms a good basis for achieving a secure and flexible M-service system.
Empirical Evaluations of Interactive Systems in Cultural Heritage

An increasing number of interactive systems aim to enhance the user experience (UX) of visitors at museums, archaeological places and cultural sites. This paper presents a review of empirical evaluations of interactive systems in cultural heritage (CH) based on a systematically selected sample of 53 publications from 2012-2016. Empirical evaluations examine the degree an interactive system satisfies user goals and expectations and are inherently complex activities that require careful planning and selection of methods. The review reports on (a) interactive systems of CH in terms of: purpose, technology, cultural content and location of interaction and (b) methods of empirical evaluation in terms of: dimensions of UX, general approach, data collection and participants. The paper provides discussion, critique and outlook on issues including: extending the evaluation dimensions towards the cultural value and the essence of interactivity; placing more consideration on CH professionals; identifying new evaluation methods that balance qualitative results to evidence-based approaches.
