To ensure the protection of information processed by computer systems is currently the most important task in the construction and operation of the automated systems. The paper presents the application justification of a new set of features distinguished at the stage of the static analysis of the executable files to address the problem of malicious code detection. In the course of study, following problems were solved: development of the executable files classifier in the absence of a priori data concerning their functionality; designing class models of uninfected files and malware during the learning process; development of malicious code detection procedure using the neural networks mathematical apparatus and decision tree composition relating to the set of features specified on the basis of the executable files static analysis. The paper also describes the functional model of malware detection system using the executable files static analysis. The conclusion contains the results of experimental evaluation of the developed detection mechanism efficiency on the basis of neural networks and decision tree composition. The obtained data confirmed the hypothesis about the possibility of constructing the heuristic malware analyzer on the basis of features distinguished during the static analysis of the executable files. However, the approach based on the decision tree composition enables to obtain a significantly lower false negative rate probability with the specified initial data and classifier parameter values relating to neural networks.

In this work, we apply quantum cellular automata (QCA) to study pattern formation and image processing in quantum-diffusion Schrödinger metamedia with generalized complex diffusion coefficients. Generalized complex numbers have the real part and imaginary part with the imaginary unit 2 i  1 (classical case), 2 i  1 (double numbers) and 2 i  0 (dual numbers). They form three 2-D complex algebras. Discretization of the Schrödinger equation gives the quantum Schrödinger cellular automaton with various complex–valued physical parameters. The process of excitation in these media is described by the Schrödinger equations with the wave functions that have values in algebras of the generalized complex numbers. This medium can be used for creation of the eye-prosthesis (so called the ”silicon eye”). The medium suggested can serve as the prosthesis prototype for perception of the bichromatic images.

The paper discusses on the development of strictly equal-contrast color scale. It is known that in the CIE 1931 (x, y) thresholds for color discrimination are represented by ellipses, which are used to characterize the equal-contrast of a color system. Different color systems are described by different values of ellipticity (the size of the MacAdam ellipses). The paper proposes a new approach to the creation of strictly equal-contrast color systems based on similar concepts of «the color horizon» in the colorimetry and «the event horizon» in general relativity (GR). It is proposed to use an equation similar to Einstein’s field equations for the transformation of ellipses in a two-dimensional color pattern into circles and ellipsoids of rotation in three-dimensional model – in equal diameter balls. It is introduced a concept of a curvature of a color discrimination space and a tensor of a «color power». It is obtained a matrix equation from which the coefficients of transformation into strictly equal-contrast color system are determined.

A method for finding the microstructural parameters of low-carbon steel using its metallographic images is proposed. It allows to determine the following parameters: the ratio of perlite to ferrite phases, the parameters of grains of crystallites and their mutual arrangement; the degree of granularity of the pearlite phases. The method is aimed at predicting the strength characteristics of steel samples and consists of several stages. The preprocessing step involves color reduction, refinement of the area of interest, noise filtering, illumination refinement and histogram equalization. The segmentation of the image is associated with the search for the size, area and convex shell of grains. The stage of finding the microstructural parameters is based on the stochastic gradient-based estimation of the parameters of the segmented objects. Examples of analysis of steel oil pipeline samples with a forecast of their strength characteristics are given.

Combining multiple partitions into single ensemble clustering solution is a prominent way to improve accuracy and stability of clustering solutions. One of the major problems in constructing clustering ensembles is high computational complexity of the common methods. In this paper two computationally efficient methods of constructing ensembles of nonparametric clustering algorithms are introduced. They are based on the use of co-association matrix and subclusters. The results of experiments on synthetic and real datasets confirm their effectiveness and show the stability of the obtained solutions. The performance of the proposed methods allows to process large images including multispectral satellite data.

Edge detection is an important task in image processing. There are a lot of approaches in this area: Sobel, Canny operators and others. One of the perspective techniques in image processing is the use of fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets theory. They allow us to increase processing quality by representing information in its fuzzy form. Most of the existing fuzzy image processing methods switch to fuzzy sets on very late stages, so this leads to some useful information loss. In this paper a novel method of edge detection based on fuzzy image representation and fuzzy pixels is proposed. With this approach we convert the image to fuzzy form on the first step. Different approaches to this conversion are described. Several membership functions for fuzzy pixel description and requirements for their form and view are given. A novel approach to edge detection based on Sobel operator and fuzzy image representation is proposed. Experimental testing of developed method was performed on remote sensing images. Comparison of result with Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Canny operators is presented. Developed method selected more details (edges) rather then Sobel, Prewitt and Roberts operators, but less than Canny operator. This is because the selected convolution kernel (Sobel) has size 3x3. There are also used only simple functions of estimating the real intensities of pixels. Later, to increase quality it is necessary to use more complex masks of size 5x5 and 7x7 or median filters. Developed approach showed its workability in solving image processing problems. The proposed fuzzy model in the future can be extended to use higher level fuzzy sets (Type-2 FS and others).

The effectiveness of pattern-match searching for the fragment on image using set of pseudo-gradient procedures covering all initial image by their workplaces is studied. Procedures control is managed to reduce computational expenses and based on analysis of penalty function and giving priority of making next iteration to procedure that has minimum value of penalty. It is considered that required fragment belongs to the domain that has a procedure which is reached prescribed limit of iterations. If it is prior unknown if there is any required fragments on the initial image, the hypothesis of their absence should be tested. If the hypothesis is not confirmed than the scan for domains with fragments should be performed. Concerning there are fragments on the image the missing probabilities are found using penalty function and limit of iterations. Herein, the proposal is considered for single and multiple required fragments.

Methods of the steganography are characterized by such efficiency rates as invisibility, robustness and capacity. There is considered the maximum capacity support of the information embedding into the DCT-domain. It is investigated the known algorithm that realizes the adaptive information embedding into the digital images frequency domain. The adaptivity is reached due to the image partition into the unequal blocks using a quad-tree. There is received the improved modification of the algorithm based on the reference point variation in case of the image partition into the blocks. The received modification allows to provide the better invisibility at the same capacity.

Faktor Kebudayaan dalam Teori Hubungan Internasional [The Cultural Factors in International Relations Theory]
Authors: Bakry Umar Suryadi
Published: September 2017

This article tries to explain some thoughts on the importance of cultural factors in the study of International Relations (IR).  The mainstream theories of international relations since the end of the World War II have ignored the role of cultural factors in world politics. But, after the Cold War era in 1990s, culture began to enter the center of research on international relations.  After the Cold War ended, cultural factors become particularly prominent and began to gain more attention from the scholars of International Relations. There are at least three prominent theories which are increasingly taking into account the role of cultural factors in international relations, that is, Huntington’s “clash of civilization” theory, Nye’s “soft power” theory, and constructivism theory. In addition, since the 1990s, many studies conducted by IR scholars have focused on the relationship between culture and the foreign policy of a country. The emergence of international culturology as a sub-field of IR studies further confirms that culture is an important variable in international relations.

Authors: Bzuneck José Aloyseo , Guimarães Sueli Édi Rufini
Published: September 2017

O artigo apresenta o estado da arte acerca da eficácia coletiva de professores. Esse conceito deriva da teoria social cognitiva de Bandura, que considera as crenças de eficácia como as bases da agência humana, assim como descreve quatro fontes que sustentam seu desenvolvimento. As percepções de eficácia coletiva são definidas como os julgamentos dos professores de uma escola de que o seu conjunto dos professores é capaz de organizar e executar os cursos de ação exigidos para se conseguirem resultados positivos junto aos alunos. São relatados os modos pelos quais se pode mensurar esse constructo bem como as pesquisas sobre suas relações com desempenho dos alunos e com a autoeficácia individual dos professores. Por último, é mostrado como o desenvolvimento de eficácia coletiva tem um papel relevante, consideradas as condições do momento atual da escola brasileira.

Published: September 2017

A motivação humana configura-se em processos motivacionais e são muitos os elementos em sua especificidade e particularidades, pois, perpassam a caminhada docente, entre auto-formação e formação acadêmica, iniciando-se com desejos próprios do professor. Já na práxis educativa é necessário compreender como a motivação é entendida pelo docente, na perspectiva de ajudar a desencadear os motivos intrínsecos de cada aluno. Este artigo é parte de uma pesquisa desenvolvida pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Processos Motivacionais em Contextos Educativos (PROMOT) da PUCRS. Especificamente, a intenção desse estudo é saber como os professores no Ensino Superior concebem a motivação e como ela interfere na prática pedagógica. É um estudo de caso qualitativo, com análise das falas de sete professores universitários e posterior descrição e exploração dos aspectos motivacionais com suas atuações no Ensino Superior numa Universidade Privada do RS. A partir da análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2004), apresentam-se as categorias, a priori, Concepção de Motivação: revelaram-se diferentes entendimentos acerca da motivação. A posteriori, Trajetória Acadêmica: é um caminho longo que exige muito empenho e dedicação dos que fazem parte do mundo univeristário; História de vida e Autorealização: as vivências desde a infância embasam a formação profissional e servem de modelo para a construção das metas; Formação Pessoal e de Futuras Gerações: evidenciou-se a preocupação de tornarem-se pessoas melhores para a educação das futuras gerações.

Zebrafish Xenograft: An Evolutionary Experiment in Tumour Biology
Authors: Wyatt Rachael A. , Trieu Nhu P. V. , Crawford Bryan D.
Published: September 2017

Though the cancer research community has used mouse xenografts for decades more than zebrafish xenografts, zebrafish have much to offer: they are cheap, easy to work with, and the embryonic model is relatively easy to use in high-throughput assays. Zebrafish can be imaged live, allowing us to observe cellular and molecular processes in vivo in real time. Opponents dismiss the zebrafish model due to the evolutionary distance between zebrafish and humans, as compared to mice, but proponents argue for the zebrafish xenograft’s superiority to cell culture systems and its advantages in imaging. This review places the zebrafish xenograft in the context of current views on cancer and gives an overview of how several aspects of this evolutionary disease can be addressed in the zebrafish model. Zebrafish are missing homologs of some human proteins and (of particular interest) several members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of proteases, which are known for their importance in tumour biology. This review draws attention to the implicit evolutionary experiment taking place when the molecular ecology of the xenograft host is significantly different than that of the donor.
A Child’s Health Is the Public’s Health: Progress and Gaps in Addressing Pediatric Needs in Public Health Emergencies
Authors: Dziuban Eric J. , Peacock Georgina , Frogel Michael
Published: September 2017

Children are the most prevalent vulnerable population in US society and have unique needs during the response to and recovery from public health emergencies. The physiological, behavioral, developmental, social, and mental health differences of children require specific attention in preparedness efforts. Despite often being more severely affected in disasters, children’s needs are historically underrepresented in preparedness.

Since 2001, much progress has been made in addressing this disparity through better pediatric incorporation in preparedness planning from national to local levels. Innovative approaches, policies, and collaborations contribute to these advances. However, many gaps remain in the appropriate and proportional inclusion of children in planning for public health emergencies.

Successful models of pediatric planning can be developed, evaluated, and widely disseminated to ensure that further progress can be achieved.

La UE: Un proyecto institucional global
Authors: Perez Suarez Marybel
Published: September 2017

A lo largo de sus cincuenta años de existencia, la Unión Europea cuenta, entre sus vivencias, con varios procesos de ampliación y profundización, todos ellos destinados de forma particular a consolidar para sus ciudadanos un entorno libre, seguro y próspero en el cual desenvolverse. Con este objetivo ha desarrollado una visión particular sobre temas tan relevantes como la globalización, el medioambiente, la democracia y el gobierno internacional, que marcan su agenda internacional y, en algunos casos, le caracterizan como un actor cosmopolita. Desde esta perspectiva, este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar un breve balance sobre el transcurso del modelo europeo desde su constitución y perfilar sus perspectivas a medio plazo. El modelo será estudiado utilizando una perspectiva teórica política. Las perspectivas serán analizadas de dos formas: primero, observando la Unión Europea como actor cosmopolita en el sistema internacional y, segundo, considerando las implicaciones que esto tendrá en las relaciones con América Latina y con Colombia específicamente.

Diagnosis of evapotranspiration controlling factors in the Heihe River basin, northwest China
Authors: Qiu Linghua , Peng Dingzhi , Chen Ji
Published: September 2017

Estimation of actual evapotranspiration (ET) and diagnosis of its controlling factors contribute to addressing water scarcity challenges in arid regions. For detecting impacts of vegetation, precipitation, and evaporation capacity on ET, a monthly ET model was proposed on the basis of the three factors and applied in the upstream and midstream of the Heihe River basin, northwest China, an arid and semi-arid basin. Parameter sensitivity analysis, partial correlation analysis, and factor analysis were used to assess the controlling factors of ET. Results demonstrated that the proposed ET model can reconstruct monthly ET processes with satisfying performances and precipitation, evaporation capacity and vegetation are the controlling factors of ET in the study areas. The proposed ET model could be applicable with the three controlling factors to estimate ET in arid regions.
Optimization analysis of separation conditions of washed water containing a lead complex and characterization of the precipitation products
Authors: Cai Wenmin , Chen Jiajun , Wang Qingwei , Wei Meng
Published: September 2017

Presently, the large amount of industrial leaded wastewater creates a great challenge to both environmental governance and wastewater recycling. Lead complexes in washed water must be removed mostly before the washed water can be recycled. This paper reports the mechanism and factors of removing Pb complexes in simulated washed water by the sulfide precipitation method. The reaction time, sodium sulfide dosage, pH, and polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC) dosage were analyzed and the optimal conditions were explored. The composition of the reaction products was also verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Additionally, the kinetics of the precipitation reaction of sodium sulfide and Pb-EDTA were studied. These results showed that the Pb removal efficiency reached 91.7% under the optimal process conditions which were as follows: the dosages of Na2S and PAC were 188 mg/L (Na2S/Pb2+ molar ratio of 5:1) and 30 mg/L, respectively, the reaction time was 40 min, and the pH was 9. It was demonstrated using SEM and XRD that the reaction product in the separation process was PbS and the precipitation process was fitted to the following first-order reaction kinetics equation: Ct = 89.1e−0.1047t + 10.1 (R2 = 0.9929; Ct is Pb concentration at reaction time t).

ResumoEste trabalho apresenta uma proposta de inserção da geometria não-euclidiana na educação básica, em especial nas aulas de matemática no ensino fundamental e médio. Para o estudo, foi escolhida a geometria do táxi, por ser de fácil compreensão e por possibilitar a ligação com outros conteúdos da educação básica, como por exemplo, o modelo de geografia urbana está diretamente relacionada ao cotidiano dos alunos. Como sugestões para a construção deste conceito foram elaboradas cinco atividades que levaram os alunos a explorar esta geometria, evidenciando as diferenças existentes entre a geometria euclidiana e a geometria do táxi, considerada não-euclidiana, por apresentar uma métrica diferenciada. Na última atividade, foi proposto um problema em que os alunos deveriam aplicar o conceito de circunferência do ponto de vista das duas geometrias para resolvê-lo. Apesar de ser algo novo para os alunos, pôde-se perceber um grande interesse, por fazer relação com seu cotidiano, além de ter um resultado satisfatório no que diz respeito ao resgate de conceitos da geometria euclidiana.AbstractThis paper presents a proposal for the insertion of non-Euclidean geometry in basic education, especially in mathematics classes in primary and secondary education. For the study, the taxicab geometry was chosen because it is easy to understand and because it allows the connection with other contents of basic education, for example, the model of urban geography is directly related to the students' daily life. As suggestions for the construction of this concept were elaborated five activities that led the students to explore this geometry, evidencing the differences between the Euclidean geometry and the taxicab geometry, considered non-Euclidean, to present a differentiated metric. In the last activity, a problem was proposed in which the students should apply the concept of circumference from the point of view of the two geometries to solve it. In spite of being something new for the students, it was possible to perceive a great interest, to make relation with their daily life, besides having a satisfactory result with respect to the rescue of concepts of Euclidean geometry.

Beyond the Gates: Examining the Issues Facing Early Childhood Teachers when they Visit Art Museums and Galleries with Young Children in New Zealand
Authors: Terreni Lisa
Published: September 2017

EXCURSIONS TO CULTURAL CENTRES, such as art museums and galleries, can add new and valuable learning opportunities for young children. This paper presents the findings from a large scale national questionnaire that asked early childhood (EC) teachers in New Zealand about their engagement with art museums and galleries for learning experiences, outside of their EC centres. As part of a mixed methods research project, the questionnaire also sought to ascertain the degree to which the EC sector uses art museums and galleries as excursion destinations, and the ways in which they are used (or not). The findings suggest that key factors that both help and hinder visiting art museums and galleries with young children include: the pedagogical approaches EC teachers have in relation to visual art education, the ways in which teachers view successful learning opportunities for young children, and a teacher's own perceptions and fears of art museums and galleries. This study suggests that teachers have mixed views about whether visiting art museums and galleries will provide appropriate experiences for young children.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk memahami proses pemberdayaan terhadap lembaga FPA dalam menangani masalah pekerja anak di Kelurahan Cibeureum. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif melalui jenis penelitian deskriptif. Sumber data primer dalam penelitian ini merupakan partisipan yang terdiri dari para pengurus FPA dan pekerja anak. sedangkan sumber data sekunder terdiri dari dokumen kegiatan FPA, beberapa tokoh masyarakat dan beberapa orang tua dari pekerja anak. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi dokumentasi, wawancara mendalam, diskusi kelompok terfokus dan observasi partisipatif. Data yang terkumpul selanjutnya dicek keabsahannya melalui perpanjangan keikutsertaan, ketekunan pengamatan, trianguasi, pengecekan sejawat dan kecukupan referensi. Data yang telah teruji keabsahannya kemudian diuji secara kualitatif.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyebab pekerja anak di Kelurahan Cibeureum disebabkan antara lain : kemiskinan yang dialami orangtua, adanya budaya dan tradisi yang memandang anak wajib melakukan pekerjaan sebagai bentuk pengabdian kepada orangtua, dan tersedianya pekerjaan yang mudah diakses tanpa membutuhkan persyaratan tertentu. Adanya pekerja anak ini mendasari dibentuknya lembaga FPA oleh para tokoh masyarakat.Lembaga FPA dimaksudkan untuk menangani masalah yang dihadapi pekerja anak. Dalam pelaksanaannya lembaga FPA masih mengalami hambatan, yang disebabkan oleh kurangnya kompetensi pengurus dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan kelompok belajar dan kurangnya kemampuan dalam mengakses sumber. Kondisi ini menimbulkan adanya kebutuhan untuk memberdayakan lembaga tersebut.Pemberdayaan terhadap lembaga FPA dilakukan melalui reorganisasi dan restrukturisasi kepengurusan. Kegiatan pemberdayaan terhadap FPA berhasil meningkatkan kemampuan lembaga tersebut, sehingga tujuannya untuk melaksanakan kegiatan kelompok belajar bagi pekerja anak dapat tercapai.

Kehidupan manusia bersifat dinamis dan dari kedinamisan tersebut dapat dipastikan menimbulkan berbagai masalah dan bahkan juga solusi bagi kehidupan manusia itu sendiri, baik bagi diri perorangan ataupun bagi masyarakat sebagai satuan kumpulan individu. Sebagai makhluk yang memiliki aspek bio-psiko-sosio-spiritual dalam dirinya, manusia merupakan makhluk yang mengusung nilai, sehingga tidak dapat mengenyampingkan nilai-nilai sebagai pegangan dan pedoman dalam kehidupannya. Kedinamisan hidup dan keberadaan nilai-nilai saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain dalam diri manusia, sayangnya yang terjadi adalah dengan semakin dinamisnya kehidupan manusia, justru semakin rendah pemahaman manusia terhadap nilai dan semakin pudarnya nilai-nilai yang dianut dan dimiliki oleh manusia, sehingga menjadi pemicu munculnya berbagai macam masalah kesehatan mental di masyarakat.

Kenakalan remaja merupakan hal yang tidak jarang kita temui saat ini. Kenakalan remaja pun tak urung timbul dari sebuah komunitas remaja. Tawuran antar pelajar dari komunitas-komunitas di sekolah, ugal-ugalan di jalan raya, berpesta minuman keras adalah sebagian contoh dari tindakan kenakalan remaja dalam komunitas. Kenakalan remaja tersebut dapat terjadi dari pengaruh suatu komunitas. Remaja di Kota Bandung sudah sangat akrab dengan budaya yang mengharuskan seorang remaja masuk ke dalam komunitas. Akibatnya, Kota Bandung terkenal dengan komunitas antar sekolah untuk para remaja, komunitas geng motor dan komunitas lainnya. Sayangnya banyak pandangan negatif karena biasanya komunitas remaja sering melakukan tindak kenakalan dan tak jarang meresahkan lingkungan serta masyarakat sekitar. Padahal sudah cukup diakui secara global adanya tindak kenakalan remaja disebabkan faktor-faktor tertentu. Jika sudah banyak penelitian yang mencari faktor penyebab adanya tindak kenakalan remaja, penelitian ini lebih memfokuskan kepada faktor faktor penyabab masuknya remaja dalam komunitas yang sering melakukan tindak kenakalan remaja. Dengan cara observasi langsung dan wawancara mendalam dengan anggota komunitas yang terkenal sering melakukan tindak kenakalan, diharakpakn penelitian ini dapat menyimpulkan fakor penyebab yang mendukung remaja bergabung. Faktor penyebab remaja bergabung dalam sebuah komunitas kenakalan remaja, diyakini mempunyai dua faktor penentu yaitu faktor pendorong dan faktor penarik.

Non-Arabic speakers find some problems during their Arabic learning, including spelling. The study limited these problems to the following matters: definition, dictation rules, and the accompanying difficulties. This study is a simple attempt to examine the solutions to these difficulties to improve the level of students' absorption of dictation. This study also addresses the causes of spelling errors. These errors may be attributed to the student, or to the teacher, or to the characteristics of the language itself. In light of these reasons, this study attempts to identify some methods to correct them. The researcher recommends not to adhere to one method on a continuous basis, but rather to combine the different methods, as the teacher deems appropriate, and achieve the purpose of the spelling subject.
