Privacy Protection for Audio Sensing Against Multi-Microphone Adversaries
Authors: Gao Chuhan , Fawaz Kassem , Sur Sanjib , Banerjee Suman
Published: May 2019

Audio-based sensing enables fine-grained human activity detection, such as sensing hand gestures and contact-free estimation of the breathing rate. A passive adversary, equipped with microphones, can leverage the ongoing sensing to infer private information about individuals. Further, with multiple microphones, a beamforming-capable adversary can defeat the previously-proposed privacy protection obfuscation techniques. Such an adversary can isolate the obfuscation signal and cancel it, even when situated behind a wall. AudioSentry is the first to address the privacy problem in audio sensing by protecting the users against a multi-microphone adversary. It utilizes the commodity and audio-capable devices, already available in the user’s environment, to form a distributed obfuscator array. AudioSentry packs a novel technique to carefully generate obfuscation beams in different directions, preventing the multi-microphone adversary from canceling the obfuscation signal. AudioSentry follows by a dynamic channel estimation scheme to preserve authorized sensing under obfuscation. AudioSentry offers the advantages of being practical to deploy and effective against an adversary with a large number of microphones. Our extensive evaluations with commodity devices show that protects the user’s privacy against a 16-microphone adversary with only four commodity obfuscators, regardless of the adversary’s position. AudioSentry provides its privacy-preserving features with little overhead on the authorized sensor.
Skip, Skip, Skip, Accept!!!: A Study on the Usability of Smartphone Manufacturer Provided Default Features and User Privacy
Authors: Ramokapane Kopo M. , Mazeli Anthony C. , Rashid Awais
Published: May 2019

Smartphone manufacturer provided default features (e.g., default location services, iCloud, Google Assistant, ad tracking) enhance the usability and extend the functionality of these devices. Prior studies have highlighted smartphone vulnerabilities and how users’ data can be harvested without their knowledge. However, little is known about manufacturer provided default features in this regard—their usability concerning configuring them during usage, and how users perceive them with regards to privacy. To bridge this gap, we conducted a task-based study with 27 Android and iOS smart-phone users in order to learn about their perceptions, concerns and practices, and to understand the usability of these features with regards to privacy. We explored the following: users’ awareness of these features, why and when do they change the settings of these features, the challenges they face while configuring these features, and finally the mitigation strategies they adopt. Our findings reveal that users of both platforms have limited awareness of these features and their privacy implications. Awareness of these features does not imply that a user can easily locate and adjust them when needed. Furthermore, users attribute their failure to configure default features to hidden controls and insufficient knowledge on how to configure them. To cope with difficulties of finding controls, users employ various coping strategies, some of which are platform specific but most often applicable to both platforms. However, some of these coping strategies leave users vulnerable.
Oblivious DNS: Practical Privacy for DNS Queries
Authors: Schmitt Paul , Edmundson Anne , Mankin Allison , Feamster Nick
Published: May 2019

Virtually every Internet communication typically involves a Domain Name System (DNS) lookup for the destination server that the client wants to communicate with. Operators of DNS recursive resolvers—the machines that receive a client’s query for a domain name and resolve it to a corresponding IP address—can learn significant information about client activity. Past work, for example, indicates that DNS queries reveal information ranging from web browsing activity to the types of devices that a user has in their home. Recognizing the privacy vulnerabilities associated with DNS queries, various third parties have created alternate DNS services that obscure a user’s DNS queries from his or her Internet service provider. Yet, these systems merely transfer trust to a different third party. We argue that no single party ought to be able to associate DNS queries with a client IP address that issues those queries. To this end, we present Oblivious DNS (ODNS), which introduces an additional layer of obfuscation between clients and their queries. To do so, ODNS uses its own authoritative namespace; the authoritative servers for the ODNS namespace act as recursive resolvers for the DNS queries that they receive, but they never see the IP addresses for the clients that initiated these queries. We present an initial deployment of ODNS; our experiments show that ODNS introduces minimal performance overhead, both for individual queries and for web page loads. We design ODNS to be compatible with existing DNS protocols and infrastructure, and we are actively working on an open standard with the IETF.
Finding a Needle in a Haystack: The Traffic Analysis Version
Authors: Qasem Abdullah , Zhioua Sami , Makhlouf Karima
Published: May 2019

Traffic analysis is the process of extracting useful/sensitive information from observed network traffic. Typical use cases include malware detection and website fingerprinting attacks. High accuracy traffic analysis techniques use machine learning algorithms (e.g. SVM, kNN) and require to split the traffic into correctly separated blocks. Inspired by digital forensics techniques, we propose a new network traffic analysis approach based on similarity digest. The approach features several advantages compared to existing techniques, namely, fast signature generation, compact signature representation using Bloom filters, efficient similarity detection between packet traces of arbitrary sizes, and in particular dropping the traffic splitting requirement altogether. Experimental results show very promising results on VPN and malware traffic, but low results on Tor traffic due mainly to the single-size cells feature.

Background and aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients have a lower quality of life. This study aimed to examine the direct and indirect effect of eight domains score of the SF-36 questionnaire on two main factors, i.e., overall physical health (GH_M) and overall mental health (MH_M), in DM patients. To the best of our knowledge, this issue has been rarely studied so far.

Material and method: A total of 1037 DM patients filled out the Persian version of the SF-36 questionnaire. The path analysis was used in this study.

Results: In this research, only social functioning (SF) domain has significantly lower the men compared to women (P=0.06). Physical functioning (PF), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH) and vitality (VT) have a negative significant direct effect on the GH_M factor. GH domain also has a positive indirect and total effect on MH_M factor, and other domains have no significant total effect on MH_M factor.

Conclusion: It is better that physicians, focus on regulating physical activity and reducing body pain in diabetes patients, which have the most direct impact on HRQoL, to achieve a more effective outcome in improving quality of life in this patient.

Authors: Surblys Vytenis , Žuraulis Vidas , Sokolovskij Edgar
Published: May 2019

In this paper the relation between semi-active suspension characteristics and vertical oscillations of the vehicle body on road roughness is analysed. During experimental tests, the damping of semi-active suspension was changed while measuring vehicle's sprung and unsprung mass vertical accelerations, pitch rate, which were transformed into a frequency domain for further analysis. The results of the experimental tests were compared to the simulations using the semi-active dynamic model. Validation has shown that model can be used to analyse the influence of semi-active suspension parameters on vehicle oscillations over the entire range of semiactive suspension settings. The comparison of experimental and theoretical simulation showed that semi-active suspension settings have influence on longitudinal oscillations of the sprung mass and it should be estimated in related researches of modern suspension.

Authors: Vasil’ev A. Yu. , Obelchak I. S.
Published: May 2019

Purpose – examine the possibilities of multislice computed tomangiography (MSCTA) in case of suspected damage to the great vessels in a chest gunshot fghting injury.

Material and methods. A radiation survey of 130 wounded with gunshot injuries of the chest to assess the nature, diagnosis of gunshot injuries of the vascular bed.

Results. Of the 130 wounded with gunshot wounds to the chest, 41 (31.5 %) of the injured had gunshot wounds to the chest were non­penetrating, and 89 (68.5 %) had penetrating injuries. In 76 (58.4 %) patients with gunshot chest injuries, the nature of the wound was fragmentation, in 54 (41.6 %), wounds were bullet wounds. In the algorithm of radiation examination of patients with gunshot wounds of the chest to identify the nature of damage to the organs of the mediastinum and vascular structures, the main method of visualization was MSCT with contrast enhancement. Damage to the bone skeleton of the chest (ribs, collarbone, sternum, scapula) by MSCT was observed in 23 (17.6 %) patients. Almost half – 66 (50.1 %) of the wounded with gunshot injuries during MSCT examination, traumatic injury (pulmonitis) of the lung was observed. In 2 (1.5 %) cases, damage to the heart was detected that was not recognized at the stage of skilled surgical care. False post­traumatic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta was diagnosed in two wounded. Accuracy, sensitivity, specifcity of MSCT angiography in imaging of the vascular bed and diagnosis of damage to the great vessels of the chest cavity was 98, 97 and 97 %, respectively.

Conclusions. MSCT made it possible to reliably assess the nature of the gunshot injuries of the chest, identify timely damage to the great vessels of the mediastinum, determine the localization of the foreign injuring bodies near the vascular structures, and determine the surgical tactics.
Effectiveness of use of CT and SPECT with 99mTc-MAA and Ga-67 citrate in assessing the expansion of lung cancer in the determination of surgical intervention tactics
Authors: Agafonov A. О. , Amosov V. I. , Zolotnitskaia V. Р.
Published: May 2019

Introduction. Algorithms of the early detection of lung cancer remain a topic of discussion and the problem of timely assessment of the expansion of lung cancer remains unresolved.

Objective – to determine if the combined use of contrast­enhanced MDCT and 99mTc­MAA SPECT and Gallium‐67 citrate SPECT is effective in assessing the expansion of lung cancer in the determination in the intervention tactics.

Material and methods. In the study, radiologic examination was performed to 81 patients with lung cancer. Combined examinations included bolus contrast­enhanced computed tomography (n = 81 patients), 99mTc­MAA SPECT (n = 62 patients) and Gallium‐67 citrate SPECT (n = 9 patients).

Results.According to MDCT data in most cases (n = 65 patients; 80 %) this method was able to diagnose the T­stage of the tumor; in some cases, the stage of malignancy was overestimated (n = 8 patients, 10 %), or underestimated (n = 8 patients, 10 %). According to the results of 99mТc­МАА SPECT, it was possible to reliably determine the microcirculation disorders that were observed in the whole group of patients, while in 12 cases the impaired blood ﬂow was recorded only according to the results of 99mTc­MAA SPECT and in 50 cases the severity of changes in blood ﬂow was more signifcant than according to MDCT. When analyzing Ga­67 citrate SPECT data, in all 9 cases whole­body Ga­67 citrate SPECT showed intense hot areas at the tumor region. It was also possible to show several mildly increased foci in the hilar lymph nodes in 6 cases, but in 3 cases the result was false positive.

Conclusions. Bolus contrast­enhanced computed tomography in most cases allows to correctly determine the T­stage of lung cancer and show tumor invasion into the surrounding tissues and vessels. At the same time, an additional 99mTc­MAA SPECT study allows to clarify the degree of disturbance of the microvasculature in more detail. It is possible to supplement the assessment of regional metastasis by Gallium‐67 citrate SPECT, however, it is necessary to take into account the inﬂammatory nature of lymph node changes as a cause of false­positive data.

Published: May 2019

Introduction. The problem of early detection of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is closely related to the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). It is especially important in patients with slight manifestations of the disease, making it diffcult to verify the diagnosis before the clinic of right ventricular heart failure, and low knowledge of the general practitioners of the available diagnostic opportunities.

The aim of the work was to identify the earliest clinical signs of PAH associated with SSc for its early diagnosis.

Material and methods. The study included 51 patients with limited SSc. The investigators evaluated the extent of skin lesion, levels of the level of N­terminal brain natriureticpropeptide (NT­proBNP) and uric acid, the ﬂuorescent pattern and titer of antinuclear factor. All patients underwent an echocardiography, nailfold videocapillaroscopy, a comprehensive assessment of external respiratory functions. When there were symptoms of PAH, right heart catheterization was performed to confrm it.

Results. PAH was detected in 19 of the 51 patients included in the study. Patients with PAH were signifcantly older than those without PAH: (60±8) and (54±7) years, respectively (p=0.02); there were also differences between these groups in the signs of right cardiac remodeling (p<0.05), in the indices estimated in the six­minute walk test (p<0.05), in the assessment of lung diffusing capacity (p<0.001), in levels of NT­proBNP and uric acid (p<0.001), in the density of the nailfold capillaries (p=0.009); in a semiquantitative assessment of nailfold capillary alterations (p=0.022). Among patients with PAH associated with SSc, seven patients were diagnosed with SSc for the frst time after referring to cardiologists and verifying the genesis of PAH, while other 12 patients were previously observed by rheumatologists. Differences in the duration of the period from the onset of symptoms to the diagnosis of SSc (p=0.043) were revealed between these groups.

Conclusion. The study shows the probability of the presence of SSc in patients with suspected idiopathic PAH, that determines the necessity of additional immunological and instrumental examinations in such patients.

Authors: Yakovleva N. S. , Speranskaia A. A. , Zolotnitskaia V. P. , Orlova G. P.
Published: May 2019

Introduction. In the structure of interstitial lung diseases, drug­induced lung lesions occur in approximately 3 % of cases. One of the most pneumotoxic drugs used in cardiology is amiodarone. Its toxic effect is multicomponent and affects all structures of the bronchopulmonary system.

Objective of the study was to estimate radiologic features and to follow up vascular disorders in the lungs in patients with amiodarone­induced pulmonary toxicity (AILT)

Material and methods. We included 214 CT exams of 110 patients with history of amiodaron use. AILT was confrmed in 90 cases. In 81 % of patients we repeated CT exams 2–5 times, with observation period from 1 month up to 10 years. The mean age of patients was 71 years (21 females, 69 – males). In 52 % of patients lung scintigraphy was performed, in 34 % with follow up (from 2 to 4 times). We included functional lung test and cardiac ultrasound in diagnostic plan.

Results. Three clinical and radiological forms of the disease were identifed: acute, subacute, and chronic. The acute form was observed in 3 % of cases, the subacute (in 68 %), the chronic form was determined during the frst examination (23 %) and during the transformation from the subacute form (38 %). According to SPECT­CT data 70 % of patients had pronounced diffuse microcirculation disorders, 30 % of patients developed perfusion disorders of moderate severity.

Conclusion. There are persistent and irreversible changes in the lungs with AIPT in dynamic radiological examination, there is a tendency to fbrosis and recurrence and perfusion disorders in the lungs during treatment are not fully recovered. For suspected pulmonary embolism most informative diagnostic method is SPECT.

Canadian Jewish communities were quicker than their American
counterparts to support the Zionist cause. But during the inter-war
period, when changing circumstances in Europe forced Zionist
leaders to shift their search for potential immigration and financial
support from the Old World to the New, the Canadians' efforts were
largely ignored. Apathy, even resistance, characterized much of the
American Jewish community's response to the Zionist leadership.
Still, the United States remained the preoccupation of leaders such
as Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of what would become the right-wing

Suffering & Sovereignty: Recent Canadian Jewish Interest in Indigenous People and Issues
Authors: Koffman David S.
Published: May 2019

This essay analyzes ways that Canadians Jews have been engaging with Indigenous people and issues since the turn of the millennium. It argues that communal Jewish interest in Indigenous issues developed in the wake of the Ahenakew affair in 2002, and then grew in breadth and depth after the launch of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2008. The expansion of Jewish engagement in Indigenous matters bespeaks newfound mobilizations by Canadian Jews in the identity politics of ethnic/religious coalition building, toward multiple and sometimes competing ends, two of which are particularly salient: suffering and sovereignty. While the sufferings of the Jewish people and Indigenous peoples have been inexactly mapped onto one another, the attachments that many Canadian Jews have to the legacies of oppression, resistance, and recovery have profoundly shaped their eagerness to contemplate and engage Indigenous issues in particularly Jewish ways. Jewish engagements with First Nations also focus on the idea of “indigeneity” for the rhetorical power it may provide in debates about Israel as a colonial, post-colonial, or anti-colonial state. Canadian Jews to champion liberal support of First Nations, Jewish conversations around Indigenous suffering, heritage honour, and reconciliation have also foregrounded a set of tense questions about the extent to which Canadian Jews are and have been implicated in colonialism writ large, and about how Canadian Jews can or should best respond to its legacies. The two themes, suffering and sovereignty, are intertwined in a dynamic and unresolved tension, with one theme (suffering) inherently grappling with powerlessness, and the other (sovereignty), inherently grappling with power.

Cieszyn i Czeski Cieszyn jako transgraniczne duopolis jest interesujący z dwóch względów: (a) jako przykład dokonujących się między oboma miastami procesów reintegracji społeczno-kulturowej i ekonomicznej oraz (b) jako przestrzeń spotkania dwóch silnie ugruntowanych kultur narodowych (polskiej i czeskiej). Autorzy proponują, by spojrzeć nań z punktu widzenia wielodziedzinowej teorii publicznej dyplomacji, określanej niekiedy jako soft diplomacy; jako taka może być użyteczna zarówno w naukowej analizie transgraniczności, jak i dla władz lokalnych i rządowych, a także innych interesariuszy, myślących o tym, jak w owej reintegracji, jak i tworzeniu wspólnej, przyjaznej przestrzeni pomóc, dla obopólnego dobra. W ramach niniejszego opracowania autorzy skupią się na przeglądzie różnych form oddolnych i odgórnych działań, wpisujących się w dyplomacją publiczną po stronie czeskiej i polskiej, uwzględniając przede wszystkim jej kulturowe aspekty. Zarysowana jest przy tym działalność władz miejskich, które powinny tworzyć dogodne warunki do prowadzenia takiej dyplomacji publicznej, aby sprzyjała ona intensyfikacji międzynarodowych kontaktów. Artykuł jest wreszcie próbą oceny projektów tejże uspołecznionej dyplomacji.

ile pozitif bir ilişki içerisinde olduğu, duygusal irritasyonun çalışmaya
tutkunluk boyutlarını olumsuz etkilediği bulunmuştur. Algılanan yönetici
desteği ve pozitif psikolojik sermaye gibi kaynakların biçimleyici etkisi
istatistiksel olarak gösterilememesine rağmen bu değişkenlerin çalışan
esenliğini ilgilendiren faktörler ile beklenen yönde ilişki gösterdiği
gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca bilişsel irritasyonun aşırı iş yükü ve duygusal irritasyon
arasında aracı (mediatör) değişken olduğu ve irritasyonun iş stresi ve çalışan
esenliğini anlamak için önemli bir yapı olabileceği de araştırmanın bulguları
arasındadır. Özgün Değer: İrritasyon kavramı
hem yabancı hem de yerli literatürde tükenmişlik kavramına göre daha az incelen
bir yapıdır. Bu bağlamda iş yükü ve çalışmaya tutkunluk gibi değişkenler ile
ilişkisinin incelenmesi önemlidir. Ayrıca bilişsel irritasyonun iş yükü ve
duygusal irritasyon arasında aracı değişken olarak bulunması iş stresine yönelik
bilişsel müdahalelerin ve çözümlerin çalışanların duygularını düzenleyebilmesi
açısından faydalı olabileceğini gösteren bir bulgudur
Crença no mundo exterior: Mente e objetividade em Hume
Authors: Cachel Andrea
Published: May 2019

Este artigo pretende analisar a discussão humeana sobre a crença nos corpos, apresentada na seção Do ceticismo quanto aos sentidos, do Tratado da Natureza Humana, e na seção Da Filosofia Acadêmica ou Cética, das Investigações acerca do Entendimento Humano. Em especial, ele procura mostrar que a inteligibilidade da existência externa funda-se em uma atividade da mente, por meio da atuação da imaginação, e pressupõe uma resignificação dos conceitos de mente e de percepção.  Para tanto, parte da exposição de alguns pressupostos da questão, tais como a tradução da existência externa nas noções de continuidade e distinção, a separação entre sistema vulgar e filosófico e o significado da rejeição dos sentidos e da razão como possíveis causas da crença no mundo.

Apontamentos acerca do conceito de modernidade nos escritos de Kierkegaard
Authors: Rossatti Gabriel Guedes
Published: May 2019

Busca-se neste artigo fazer alguns breves apontamentos acerca do conceito de modernidade na obra do pensador dinamarquês Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855). Com efeito, argumentarei que ainda que tal conceito não esteja presente em sua produção enquanto tal, sua presença, não obstante, se faz sentir de diversas maneiras, o que, por sua vez, faz de sua produção um dos constructos teóricos mais importantes em termos de uma reflexão crítica acerca desse mesmo tema.
Contorno e limites do conceito do social em Axel Honneth
Authors: Caux Luiz Philipe De
Published: May 2019

Em particular em seus textos anteriores a Luta por reconhecimento, Axel Honneth se vale com frequência do adjetivo substantivado "o social" (das Soziale), sem jamais explicitar diretamente o significado que lhe atribui. Todavia, este conceito, sempre pressuposto, tanto está na base de sua conhecida crítica do déficit sociológico da tradição crítica frankfurtiana quanto orienta clandestinamente todo o desenvolvimento de sua obra até o modelo maduro da reconstrução normativa. Trata-se, aqui, de um esforço de torná-lo explícito enquanto compromisso social-ontológico assumido pela teoria crítica honnethiana. Conclui-se que o social de Honneth é senão idêntico, ao menos coextensivo às normas se constituem a partir de interações de reconhecimento intersubjetivo, o que emprestará tanto a força relativa de seu modelo crítico  quanto determinará seus limites.
A proveniência histórico-ontológica da técnica moderna: uma interpretação a partir de Heidegger
Authors: Fernandes Marcos Aurélio
Published: May 2019

O presente texto apresenta a proposta de pensar, com Heidegger, a proveniência histórica da técnica moderna a partir do pensamento históricoontológico, ou seja, do pensamento que medita a história do ser. Neste esforço, a meditação remonta às origens gregas desta história, propondo-se compreender o que o sentido essencial da téchne entre os gregos. Depois, expõe a intermediação exercida pela interpretação romana da verdade e do ser como “actualitas”. Em seguida, apresenta a transformação da ontologia da “actualitas” na moderna metafísica da funcionalidade, que efetiva a correspondência de subjetividade e objetividade. Por fim, pergunta pelo fim desta metafísica no predomínio da técnica atual.
As preleções de Hegel sobre a “Filosofia do Espírito” (1805/06): introdução e tradução da primeira parte (“o Espírito segundo seu Conceito”)

Este trabalho, como parte de dissertação, tem como objetivo analisar por meio da atividade de situações problema, com base na teoria de Galperin, a evolução das etapas de assimilação dos alunos, com indicativos em altas habilidades/superdotação. Para o desenvolvimento da investigação e visando a articulação teórico - metodológica, a pesquisa teve abordagem de métodos mistos. A atividade de situações problema, como atividade de estudo, assume lugar de protagonista como método científico, revelando a importância da reflexão e da prática docente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Os participantes foram 07 alunos que frequentam o atendimento educacional especializado, no componente curricular de Matemática, no Centro de Atividades e Desenvolvimento em Altas Habilidades/Superdotação-CADAH/S em Boa Vista-Roraima. Nesse contexto parcial, por meio de provas formativas, os resultados evidenciados foram as dificuldades dos alunos na busca da solução dos problemas envolvendo as operações fundamentais da matemática e os avanços de etapas de assimilação, na qualidade das operações e ações que os mesmos apresentaram durante o processo de aprendizagem, trazendo à tona a importância da mediação do professor de matemática, na Base Orientadora da Ação, como contribuição na melhoria do potencial dos alunos com altas habilidades/ superdotação, em resolver problemas.

IMPACTOS AMBIENTAIS CAUSADOS PELA AÇÃO DO HOMEM NO IGARAPÉ GRANDE EM BOA VISTA/RR
Authors: Moreira Saidea Regina de Souza , Teixeira Alcinda de Souza Muniz
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo foi motivado pela disciplina Metodologia e Prática de Ensino em Ciências e Educação Ambiental, desenvolvida com os licenciandos do Curso de Pedagogia do Centro Universitário Estácio da Amazônia, que objetivou investigar os impactos ambientais causados pela ação do homem no Igarapé Grande, localizado na região urbana de Boa Vista capital de Roraima. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e de cunho descritivo. Os dados foram coletados durante uma visita técnica realizada no mês de junho de 2018 pelos licenciandos, com o objetivo de realizar o diagnostico ambiental do local e assim identificar os pontos críticos da área. Os resultados mostram uma grande degradação e destruição nas margens e no leito do igarapé, agressões constantes causadas por várias ações humanas, principalmente pela instalação da lagoa de estabilização próximo da margem do igarapé e o crescimento de moradias inadequadas às margens do leito do igarapé, que prejudicam esse ambiente natural e apontam para a necessidade de políticas públicas que mudem essa realidade.
Problematizando Práticas Científicas em Aulas de Física: o uso de uma História Interrompida para se Discutir Ciência de Forma Epistemológica-Contextual
Authors: Schiffer Hermann , Guerra Andreia
Published: May 2019

Em concordância com autores que defendem um estudo sobre as Ciências, encontramos na História Cultural da Ciência um aporte a partir do qual a produção científica pode ser discutida em salas de aula. Entendemos que esse aporte possibilita que práticas científicas sejam identificadas e problematizadas em um estudo sobre as Ciências, na busca de destacar o caráter cultural das mesmas. Como estratégia pedagógica, utilizamos a leitura de Narrativas Históricas pelo potencial do gênero narrativo em envolver estudantes em um tema de estudo, em facilitar a imersão de leitores no contexto histórico estudado e pela maior facilidade de leitura pela linguagem utilizada. Apresentamos uma Narrativa Histórica construída em três partes, possibilitando momentos de interrupção, e propomos sua utilização para problematizar práticas científicas comuns na produção científica da área da Mecânica no início do século XVIII.
Predicting Students’ Performance Using Machine Learning Techniques

The ultimate goal of any educational institution is offering the best educational experience and knowledge to the students. Identifying the students who need extra support and taking the appropriate actions to enhance their performance plays an important role in achieving that goal. In this research, four machine learning techniques have been used to build a classifier that can predict the performance of the students in a computer science subject that is offered by Al-Muthanna University (MU), College Of Humanities. The machine learning techniques include Artificial Neural Network, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression. This research pays extra attention to the effect of using the internet as a learning resource and the effect of the time spent by students on social networks on the students’ performance. These effects introduced by using features that measure whether the student uses the internet for learning and the time spent on the social networks by the students. The models have been compared using the ROC index performance measure and the classification accuracy. In addition, different measures have been computed such as the classification error, precision, recall, and the F measure. The dataset used to build the models is collected based on a survey given to the students and the students’ grade book. The ANN (fully connected feed forward multilayer ANN) model achieved the best performance that is equal to 0.807 and achieved the best classification accuracy that is equal to 77.04%. In addition, the decision tree model identified five factors as important factors which influence the performance of the students.
