Published: December 2023

This study presents a comprehensive exploration and comparative analysis of three prominent classification algorithms—Support Vector Machine (SVM) with polynomial and sigmoid kernels, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN)—in the context of malware classification. Leveraging a dataset comprising 5184 samples, including both malware and benign instances, the research systematically evaluates the performance of these algorithms using key metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC-ROC. The SVM classifier with a polynomial kernel emerges as the top performer, achieving remarkable accuracy (98.08%), precision (98.56%), and recall (97.85%). Its capacity to minimize false positives while maintaining a high true positive rate positions it as a robust tool for accurate malware identification. The sigmoid kernel SVM demonstrates a well-balanced performance, suitable for scenarios requiring a nuanced trade-off between false positives and false negatives. The ANN model, while exhibiting a lower overall accuracy (89.00%), excels in recall (92.61%), showcasing its proficiency in capturing instances of malware. The study underscores the significance of selecting an algorithm aligned with specific application requirements, whether prioritizing precision, recall, or a balanced approach. Furthermore, the research acknowledges the dataset's limitations and calls for future exploration with diverse datasets and additional preprocessing techniques. As cybersecurity threats evolve, the insights provided by this study contribute to the ongoing discourse on developing robust tools for effective malware detection. The findings empower cybersecurity professionals and researchers with valuable considerations for selecting the most suitable classification algorithm in the dynamic landscape of digital security.

Lack of sensitivity to the plight of; and priority misplacement of older persons has become a plague in Nigeria. Delay in policy implementation and lack of proper attention has been a challenge in solving the problems of the aged since from the time country gained independence from her colonial master. Social inequality, poor policy ratification and implementation have become regular phenomena in the political system. Unfortunately, the health industry is not safe from this political menace making the aged more exposed to debilitating conditions causing a reduction in their life expectancy and an increasing mortality rate. This paper looks at the aspects of human rights in combating the neglect syndrome of the Nigerian-aged population.
Linguistic Obscurity in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness
Authors: Lıu Yunfeı , Zhong Zuofeng
Published: December 2023

Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness intensively presents modernist particularity shown in the form of linguistic obscurity. This paper draws on Friedrich Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics to argue that it has latent meanings and is presented through two categories: “silenced language” and “voiced language.” The former reveals the deception, death and hurt brought by colonial conquest. The latter is best exemplified by Kurtz’s Intended typified as an archetype of the Victorian woman, by which Joseph Conrad intends to criticize the self-deception of many in the colonial era. In short, linguistic obscurity respectively reveals Conrad’s critique of colonialism and his concern for humanity from the two different paths.

Published: December 2023

En regiones donde las actividades humanas generan partículas finas en el aire, el polvo atmosférico sedimentable (PAS) emerge como un desafío significativo para la salud humana. Estas partículas, susceptibles de ser inhaladas y transportadas a través del sistema respiratorio, pueden dar lugar a problemas respiratorios y otros impactos a corto y largo plazo. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar las concentraciones de PAS en una comunidad campesina de la zona altoandina de Tacna, así como realizar un modelado geoestadístico mediante el método de interpolación inversa, utilizando el software ArcGIS. Se establecieron 16 puntos de muestreo y se evaluaron durante los meses de agosto a noviembre de 2022. Los valores máximos permisibles se compararon con los estándares establecidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Los resultados indicaron que, en todos los puntos de muestreo, ya sea en los bofedales, queñuales o en los alrededores de las viviendas, las concentraciones de PAS superaron los parámetros máximos, constituyendo un riesgo para la salud comunitaria. Además, se observó una relación directa entre la temperatura y las concentraciones de PAS, subrayando la importancia de abordar los riesgos para la salud y las implicaciones medioambientales. Aunque la atribución de la contaminación a una única fuente resulta imposible.

Published: December 2023

The Low Carbon City (LCC) concept has been introduced previously in Malaysian urban development and practice. Through the Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF), the Malaysian government has accordingly delineated local authorities’ targets for achieving zero carbon status. However, to achieve smooth governance of LCC delivery, it is essential to ensure that institutional approaches are well-practised and administered. Nevertheless, what are the key elements that can be a guide for LCC governance in local government? Thus, this paper aims to establish the indicators applicable to LCC in governance and practice at local government. This study, therefore, employed a qualitative method with a purposive sampling approach, using the technique of in-depth interviews consisting of three (3) local authorities practising low carbon efforts, and also employed thematic analysis for secondary data. This study showed that LCC governance could be operative considering several important indicators for practice. The findings found that the LCC indicators are substantial for the local authority in delivering LCC initiatives, as well as the challenges faced by the local government in restructuring the institutional framework to achieve better governance practices. The study outcome, therefore, can be a reference to local government when implementing LCC initiatives through a better governance approach

Published: December 2023

Düşünsel ve estetik yapıları itibariyle değerli bulunan filmler incelendiğinde görüntü yönetiminin özel bir yere sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Film sanatının önemli bileşenlerinden olan sinematografi farklı düşünsel ve estetik yaklaşımlara dayanan filmlerin birbirlerinden ayrıştıkları ve kendi özgün tarzlarını oluşturdukları noktalardan biridir. Görüntü yönetimiyle özgün bir tarz oluşturmayı başaran yönetmenlerden biri de Semih Kaplanoğlu’dur. Kaplanoğlu’nun insanı bu dünyadaki bağlarından koparmadan, manevi tecrübeleriyle kadraja aldığı görüntüye hikâyeden bağımsızlaşan otonom bir yapı kazandırmakta oldukları görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, Kaplanoğlu sinemasında sinematografik uygulamaların nasıl bir üslup oluşturduğunu ve görüntü yönetiminin filmlerde kurulan düşünsel ve manevi yapının oluşumundaki rolünü tespit etmektedir. Yumurta, Süt, Bal ve Buğday filmlerinde beliren temel anlam ve değerler bağlamında seçilen sahne ve sekanslara ait çekimler kare kare analiz yöntemiyle çözümlenmektedir. Yumurta’da kompozisyonları kadraj dışına açıp, kadrajdaki negatif alanı kadraj dışındaki ruhsal alana bağlayan, Süt’te karakterin ruhsal durumunu kompozisyonun iki ucu arasındaki sınırı geçip geçmeme yönündeki tercihte saklayan, Bal’da düşük ışıklı kompozisyonlarda karakterin ruhsal gerilimini ortaya koyan Kaplanoğlu, Buğday’da ise manevi olanı renklerden arındırılmış bir hayal düzleminde suretlendirmektedir.

Authors: Bustamam Ahmad Kamaruzzaman , Fitri Zulfidar
Published: December 2023

This article examines Minangkabau culture in West Sumatra, Indonesia. In this province, the people still maintain a culture, namely the cultural heritage of their ancestors, even though they no longer live in their hometown. Scholars say that the Minang people have carried out the concept of rantau to make a living outside their hometown and have implemented a family system managed by the parents of the wife's family. In this case, this article will look at the foundations of the Minang people's cultural knowledge and the strategies that Minang families carry out to maintain their customs in the contemporary era. By conducting an ethnographic study, we found a portrait of Adat of Minangkabau embedded with religious and ethnic foundations, which can be seen from the many concepts and their applications in society, not only in the private sphere but also in the public sphere. It is hoped that this study will fill the gap in understanding one of the ethnic groups in the archipelago in anthropological studies in Southeast Asia, which is still vital in maintaining its culture, even though they have difficulties protecting it.

EFL undergraduates’ perceptions of the use of screencast feedback in an online writing course
Authors: Cao Lien
Published: December 2023

This paper is written based on action research in which screencast feedback was adopted as an alternative to traditional writing feedback in a 15-week fully online academic writing course due to the Covid-19 breakout. The data were collected from 89 second-year English majors at a public university in central Vietnam via an online survey to explore their perceptions of this feedback-giving method. The findings reveal that the surveyed students generally showed a positive attitude toward screencast feedback as this novel kind of giving feedback is said to be necessary and helpful for their writing improvement. Students also favored screencast feedback over traditional written feedback as it is more informative, understandable, interactive, and beneficial for mutual learning among students. However, they also pointed out that time consumption, a limited number of writing pieces receiving feedback, and overloaded information to retain are some major drawbacks to screencast feedback being given synchronously in online lessons. Therefore, adjusting screencast feedback delivery from synchronous to asynchronous mode, sharing both screencast feedback videos and documents on LMS for students’ revisits at their convenience, and maximizing students’ opportunities to receive feedback are some recommended ways to improve the effectiveness of using screencast feedback in online writing courses.

This study investigates the efficacy of a Facebook-mediated online instructional technology program at Lahore Women's University. The researchers collected data from 45 students who participated in a one-month course on instructional technology via Facebook, along with their course comments and feedback. The results showed that students maintained their interest and acquired knowledge about teaching resources and computer programs that aligned with their comfort and interests. Facebook provided them with the freedom to converse with friends and discuss course materials without the pressure of strict deadlines. Social media platforms offer an effective means of facilitating international interactions, collaboration, and unstructured learning for both on-campus and off-campus students, thanks to their accessibility, affordability, and civic features. A significant number of female students strongly advocated for using Facebook as a platform for online teaching and learning due to its capacity to allow them to openly express and address their concerns while studying instructional technology. The report recommends leveraging social media platforms for instructional delivery, training, and collaborative endeavors, and encouraging universities to incorporate these channels into their academic calendars and activities.
Anxiety sensitivity, stress, and postural control: their implications on archery performance in 11–14-year-olds
Authors: Tokmakci Hayrettin Hayri , Özgür Serkan , Varol Tuncay
Published: December 2023

Purpose.

Archery, a sport based on individual performance, requires postural stability,oncentration and the ability to cope with stress. The effect of stress on success, however, is not clear in the adolescent age group. The present study investigates the association between stress and trait anxiety levels and postural control and shooting performance in young adolescent archers.

Methods.

Included in the study were a total of 22 licensed archers (6 female; 16 male) aged between 11 and 14 who were evaluated using the ‘Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3’ and ‘Trier Social Stress Test’ (child version, arithmetic component) to measure their trait anxiety status and susceptibility to stress, respectively. Stress was measured based on the number of heartbeats per minute. An evaluation of static postural control was made using a pedobarography device before arrow release, with and without subjecting the archer to stress. To assess performance, 10 arrows were shot at a target 18 metres away, twice – before and after subjecting the participant to stress.

Results.

Postural control showed no significant change under stress. However, the participants’ trait anxiety status inversely correlated with shooting success. Post-stress shooting scores correlated with total ASI-3 score (r = –0.513; p = 0.021) and its social sub-group (r = –0.634; p = 0.003).

Conclusions.

A moderately inverse correlation can be noted between the trait anxiety state and shooting success in young adolescent archers subjected to stress. Furthermore, stress was observed to have a detrimental effect on the shooting success of people with a high level of trait anxiety.

Authors: Guedes Dartagnan , Yamaji Bruna , Bessone Debora
Published: December 2023

Purpose.

Rhythmic gymnastics is a popular sport with great acceptance throughout the world. However, the combination of repetitive movements of extreme flexibility and stress/tension on the musculoskeletal system during intense training are potential risk factors for injuries. The objective of the study was to collect retrospective data on the prevalence of self-reported injuries in Brazilian young rhythmic gymnastics athletes. In the sequence, correlates equivalent to the training history for injuries were identified.

Methods.

The study included 236 girls aged 9 to 17 years from 23 teams registered in the São Paulo State Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics practicing rhythmic gymnastics for at least two years. A questionnaire with structured questions was applied to collect data on training history and injuries occurred in the last 12 months.

Results.

The prevalence of self-reported injuries was 62.3% [95% CI: 57.9–67.0]. The most exposed body region was the lower extremities, predominantly tendinitis and sprains, with a higher incidence during training. Sport experience and volume/weekly training were identified as independent predictors of injuries. Young athletes who trained/competed 9 years presented twice as high chances of being injured (OR = 1.94 [95% CI: 1.52-3.36]) and training ≥ 26 hours/week almost tripled the chances of the gymnasts presenting some type of injury (OR = 2.91 [95% CI: 2.23–4.74]).

Conclusions.

Significant inverse associations between injury incidence and training history correlates reinforce the need for implementing different targeted injury-risk mitigation strategies in young rhythmic gymnastics athletes.

Linux merupakan salah satu dari sedikit pilihan sistem operasi komputer yang opensource (bebas menggunakan dan memodifikasinya), murah dan berlisensi gratis. Linux mengambil kendali infrastruktur perangkat keras ketika pertama kali sistem tersebut dijalankan. Selain itu Linux mendukung berbagai platform hardware dari mulai PC berbasiskan Intel, Macintosh, Amiga, Silicon Graphics, Digital Alpha, sampai dengan perangkat mini computer seperti PDA dan pocket PC. Dengan telah ditandatanginya Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) tentang penerapan penggunaan piranti lunak legal oleh Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika Republik Indonesia, Sofyan Djalil dan CEO Microsoft Indonesia, Tony Chen, pada tanggal 13 Januari 2006 di Jakarta, berarti menggunakan windows bajakan merupakan suatu pelanggaran Hak atas Kekayaan Intelektual (HAKI). Seperti diketahui bersama, penggunaan windows yang legal memerlukan biaya lisensi yang cukup mahal. Sebagai salah satu sekolah swasta yang sedang berkembang, belum memiliki cukup dana untuk membayar lisensi penggunaan windows yang selama ini mereka gunakan. Kehadiran LINUX sebagai sistem operasi komputer yang opensource (bebas menggunakan dan memodifikasinya), murah dan berlisensi gratis sangat mereka butuhkan. Di sisi lain, sumber daya manusia di SMU tersebut belum mengenal LINUX, karenanya sosialisasi LINUX sebagai sistem operasi komputer pengganti windows sangat diperlukan di SMU ini. Pendekatan pemecahan masalah dilakukan dengan mengenalkan LINUX kepada para guru dan siswa.  Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada hari Rabu tanggal 6 Agustus 2014 yang berlokasi di SMU PGRI Inderalaya dengan memperagakan kepada para peserta tentang bagaimana menginstall dan mengoperasikan LINUX, kemudian memberikan kesempatan kepada mereka untuk melakukannya sendiri dan terakhir dilakukan tes apakah mereka sudah bisa mengoperasikan LINUX dengan benar. Melalui kegiatan ini, sangat diharapkan para peserta dapat menginstall dan mengoperasikan LINUX serta menerapkannya pada kegiatan di sekolah mereka.

Reverse bullwhip effect
in the automotive industry
Authors: Turi Attila
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The goal of the paper was to analyze data from a short loop supply chain (supplier – manufacturer – customer), seek the reasons for the presence of the bullwhip effect (or a reverse bullwhip effect) and quantify its intensity within a practical case study from an automotive industry company based in Western Romania.Methodology: Data for this research were gathered over 27 weeks for the case of the most important 50 supplier-customer pairings of the manufacturing plant. The collected data were then analyzed using Holt-Winters exponential smoothing (level, trend and seasonality) and the methods of descriptive statistics: dispersion (range, variance, and standard deviation) and frequency distribution (count, percent, and frequency).Results: Our results confirm the existence of both the bullwhip effect (BE) and the reverse bullwhip effect (RBE) within the supply chain of the production site, as there are 54% of cases where order variation be-tween the group of analyzed suppliers and customers is surprisingly greater for the latter, with only 12% of cases being the source of the classic bullwhip effect.Conclusion: According to our research, both effects are present, with a higher prevalence of the RBE, but the intensity of both effects can be significantly reduced by improving planning schedules, internal performance and logistics metrics, whilst also increasing the integration of suppliers and manufacturers in the upstream and downstream supply chain material and information flows.

Authors: Vretenar Nenad , Katunar Jana , Zaninović Vinko
Published: December 2023

Purpose: In the last 10 years, wine consumption in Croatia has increased and consumer habits and expectations have changed. Understanding consumer behavior in relation to wine consumption is important for wine-producing countries where wine is an important component of economy. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that influence the frequency of wine consumption in Croatia, where wine production is an important agricultural activity in terms of the number of people employed in the sector and an important factor in the development of tourism.Methodology: Empirical research was conducted by means of a questionnaire filled out by 169 wine consumers who visited a wine fair in the Croatian Adriatic region. Based on the collected data, we developed and estimated a multinomial logit model. Results: The results indicate that wine is consumed more frequently by men, married people, people in long-term relationships, and older people. In addition, people with high levels of education tend to drink wine less frequently. The paper explains the reasons for somewhat puzzling results and suggests future avenues of research.Conclusion: Behavioral differences were confirmed in this study between subsample groups in accordance with four demographic characteristics, i.e., gender, age, marital status, and education criteria. Our analysis showed that males are more likely to consume wine than women, older than younger and less educated than more educated participants. Our results help wine marketers to segment and target wine consumers.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: Th e aim of this study is to analyze the causality relationship between military expenditures and energy security risk levels. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to investigate whether military expenditures have a role in ensuring energy security and to perform a pioneering study examining the relationship between energy security and military expenditures. In addition, the variables of economic growth and energy export revenues are also included in empirical analysis.Methodology: The Kónya (2006) bootstrap panel Granger causality approach is used in empirical analysis.The analysis covers 16 major energy exporter countries and the years 1990 and 2018.Results: It was found that there is one-directional causality from military expenditures to energy security risk levels for three countries, and from energy security risk levels to military expenditures for two countries. On the other hand, it was determined that there is one-directional causality from energy security risk levels to economic growth for four countries, from economic growth to energy security risk levels for two countries, from energy security risk level to energy export revenues for four countries, and from energyexport revenues to energy security risk levels for one country. Moreover, it was determined that there is bidirectional causality between energy security risk levels and economic growth for four countries, and between energy security risk levels and energy export revenues for two countries.Conclusion: The results obtained in this study demonstrate that the causality relationship between energy security and other variables (military expenditures, GDP, and energy export income) cannot be generalized across countries. However, it may be argued that energy security is an important policy tool that has important economic consequences for energy-exporting countries through its effects on different variables.

Purpose: The relationship between the macroeconomic environment and banking risks is one of the basic conditions for the stability of the state financial system. The purpose of this paper is to show the interdependence between the macroeconomic environment and the financial system, i.e., to highlight the importance of various macroeconomic factors and their impact on the banking system in Croatia.Methodology: Statistical data for the period from 2010 to 2022, obtained from publicly available databases, are analysed. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the intensity and direction of the relation-ship between macroeconomic and banking variables. Regression analysis was conducted to determine if macroeconomic variables could explain some of the changes in banking variables. Results: The results of the analysis show a significant correlation between the macroeconomic variable unemployment rate and all banking variables, as well as between the macroeconomic variable inflation rate and the banking variables: non-performing loans (NPL) and bank loans. Gross domestic product (GDP) is not correlated with any of the observed variables, which is a very interesting result. The unemployment rate is the predictor that is significant for all banking variables, while the inflation rate is the predictor that is significant only for non-performing loans.Conclusion: The conducted analyses show that economic development plays a role in the business policies of banks. These results can be particularly useful for bank management and the government, as they provide all stakeholders with important information about the role of macroeconomic policies of financial institutions in Croatia and, consequently, the Croatian economy.
Az ókori római jogélet 21. századi tanulságai: a hitelezők megkárosítása elleni jogvédelem egyes nemzetközi aktualitásai
Authors: Benke József
Published: December 2023

A tanulmány összehasonlító jogtörténeti tárgyú, amely a „jogélet” szociológiai nézőpontjából tekint rá a szorult helyzetben cselekvő adósok vagyonkimentő aktusainak, illetőleg az efféle, a hitelezőket megkárosító ügyletek jogi ’antidotumainak’ ókori római előzményeire, valamint kortárs problémáira. A szerző korábbi, ez irányú kutatásait továbbfejlesztve és aktualizálva felveti, hogy az ókori római jogélet vizsgálata a jogrend reagálóképessége – és a reakció mibenléte – tekintetében a jövő szolgálatába állítható. Pillanatfelvétel módjára rátekint az USA, Németország, Franciaország és az EU-jog legújabb vonatkozású, tárgybeli jogalkalmazási vagy jogalkotási problémáira, és az azokra adandó választ az összehasonlító jogtörténet eszközével a római jogi források alapján azonosítható fedezetelvonási gyakorlatra adott ókori jogalkotói reflexiók nyomán kirajzolódó képben ragadja meg – a komparatisztikai elemzés eredményeit három komplementer diagramban is összefoglalva.
Az alapjogvédelem előtérbe kerülése az európai nyomozási határozat és a kölcsönös elismerés elve kontextusábant
Authors: Szijártó István
Published: December 2023

A tanulmány az európai nyomozási határozat és a kölcsönös elismerés elve közötti kapcsolatot vizsgálja. Az elv a tagállamok között folytatott büntető igazságügyi együttműködés alapját képezi a Tamperei program 1999-es elfogadása óta. Az EU jogalkotó intézményei másodlagos jogforrások segítségével együttműködési rendszereket hoznak létre, amelyek a kölcsönös elismerés elvén alapulnak, és érvényt szereznek neki a bűnügyi együttműködés során. Ezek célja, hogy leegyszerűsítsék a határon átnyúló bűnügyi együttműködés folyamatát. Mivel az EU tagállamai elutasítják a büntető igazságügyi rendszereiket érintő intenzív jogharmonizációt, az elv kiemelt jelentőségű e politikában. Emiatt az EU jogalkotó intézményei létrehoztak egy szabályozási mechanizmust, amellyel garantálni lehet az elv alkalmazását a bűnügyi együttműködés során. Noha az európai nyomozási határozatot létrehozó irányelv nagyrészt átveszi ezt a szabályozási mechanizmust, több újítást is tartalmaz, mint például az eltérő nyomozási cselekmény elrendelésének a lehetősége, a kibocsátó és a végrehajtó hatóság közötti kommunikáció mértékének növelése és az alapjogi megtagadási indok. E tanulmány arra keresi a választ, hogy a jogalkotó miért döntött úgy, hogy bevezeti ezen szabályokat annak ellenére, hogy szembemennek a kölcsönös elismerés elvére épített bűnügyi együttműködési rendszernek az irányelv elfogadásáig megismert logikájával, és arra a következtetésre jut, hogy e szabályok elsősorban az alapjogvédelmet kívánják erősíteni az ENYH irányelv által létrehozott együttműködési rendszerben.
Knowledge Graphs in Telecom Systems Modeling

The article describes a method of designing and modeling telecommunication systems based on the joint use of modern business process models, information and functional models developed by the TMForum organization, and knowledge graphs. The systems developed using the proposed method enable to build business models and operating models of all segments of carrier networks by linking elements of TMForum models, as well as by supplementing them with operational data received from the network in the form of log files generated by application servers, and as a result of network devices polling. The generated models can be used by telecom operators to address business and operational problems, as well as by architects of telecommunications systems for their design and modernization.
Between the desert and the sky: Raúl Zurita's "Purgatorio" (Purgatory) as an antecedent of documentary poetry in Latin America
Authors: Delgado Garaycochea Claudia Paola
Published: December 2023

The Chilean poet Raúl Zurita writes from the pain of living during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). At that time, Zurita was kidnapped and, in his memory, there remains a wound that cannot heal. Although the term documentary poetry does not exist in Latin America, this article addresses the possibility that the poet is a precursor of Latin American documentary poetry. For this, it is based on the importance of the context in which Zurita lived and how he found a way to transform pain through poetry. In this article we will see how in Purgatorio —translated to English as purgatory— (1979), Zurita applies tools typical of documentary poetic creation such as intervened images, polyphony and wordplay. In the United States, documentary poetry has as its referents poets such as Ed Sanders, Charles Olson, William Carlos Williams, among others. They also wrote about historical events using documentary poetry tools. Therefore, we consider the importance of a poet like Zurita to demonstrate how violent and historical events in Latin America remain through poetry.
