Joint Optimisation of Privacy and Cost of in-App Mobile User Profiling and Targeted Ads
Authors: Ullah Imdad , Binbusayyis Adel
Published: April 2022

Online mobile advertising ecosystems provide advertising and analytics services that collect, aggregate, process, and trade a rich amount of consumers’ personal data and carry out interest-based ad targeting, which raised serious privacy risks and growing trends of users feeling uncomfortable while using the internet services. In this paper, we address users’ privacy concerns by developing an optimal dynamic optimisation cost-effective framework for preserving user privacy for profiling, ads-based inferencing, temporal apps usage behavioral patterns, and interest-based ad targeting. A major challenge in solving this dynamic model is the lack of knowledge of time-varying updates during the profiling process. We formulate a mixed-integer optimisation problem and develop an equivalent problem to show that the proposed algorithm does not require knowledge of time-varying updates in user behavior. Following, we develop an online control algorithm to solve the equivalent problem and overcome the difficulty of solving nonlinear programming by decomposing it into various cases and to achieve a trade-off between user privacy, cost, and targeted ads. We carry out extensive experimentations and demonstrate the proposed framework’s applicability by implementing its critical components using POC (Proof Of Concept) ‘System App’. We compare the proposed framework with other privacy-protecting approaches and investigate whether it achieves better privacy and functionality for various performance parameters.
VFogSim: A Data-driven Platform for Simulating Vehicular Fog Computing Environment
Authors: Akgul Ozgur Umut , Mao Wencan , Cho Byungjin , Xiao Yu
Published: April 2022

Edge/fog computing is a key enabling technology in 5G and beyond for fulfilling the tight latency requirements of emerging vehicle applications, such as cooperative and autonomous driving. Vehicular Fog Computing (VFC) is a cost-efficient deployment option that complements stationary fog nodes with mobile ones carried by moving vehicles. To plan the deployment and manage the VFC resources in the real world, it is essential to take into account the spatio-temporal variations in both demand and supply of fog computing capacity and the trade-offs between achievable Quality-of-Services and potential deployment and operating costs. Concerning the complexity and the economic load of real-world measurements, simulation becomes a better option at the early research phase to validate capacity and resource management solutions in various urban environments. The existing simulation platforms cannot provide a realistic techno-economic investigation to analyze the implications of VFC deployment options, due to the simplified network models in use, the lack of support for fog node mobility, and limited testing scenarios. In this paper, we propose an open-source simulator VFogSim that allows real-world data as input for simulating the supply and demand of VFC in urban areas. It follows a modular design to evaluate the performance and cost-efficiency of different deployment scenarios under various vehicular traffic models, and the effectiveness of the diverse network and computation schedulers and prioritization mechanisms under user-defined scenarios. Compared with the existing edge/fog computing simulators, such as IFogSim, IoTSim, and EdgeCloudSim, to the best of our knowledge, our platform is the first one that supports the mobility of fog nodes and provides realistic modeling of V2X in 5G and beyond networks in the urban environment. Furthermore, we validate the accuracy of the platform using a real-world 5G measurement and demonstrate the functionality of the platform taking VFC capacity planning as an example.
Resampling, Relabeling, & Raking Algorithm to One-Class Classification
Authors: Lee Hae-Hwan , Park Seunghwan , Im Jongho
Published: April 2022

The performance of a classification model significantly depends on the degree to which the support of each data class overlaps. Successfully distinguishing classes is difficult if the support is similar while classes differ. In the one-class classification (OCC) problem, wherein the data comprise only a single class, classifier performance is significantly degraded if the population support of each class is similar. In this study, we propose a preprocessing algorithm that enhances classifier performance by utilizing macro information that is most easily obtainable in these two problem situations. The algorithm aims to improve classifier performance by reprocessing the given data into data with mitigated class imbalance through raking and sampling techniques. This improvement in performance is demonstrated by comparing representative classifiers used in the existing OCC problem with traditional binary classifier models, unavailable on the single-class dataset.
Dynamic Prediction of Abnormal Condition for Multiple Fused Magnesium Melting Processes Based on Video Continual Learning
Authors: Zhang Zhe
Published: April 2022

Process industry is the pillar industry of national economy, particularly, the process of producing magnesia by fused magnesia furnace system is a typical category of process industry. Due to the complex smelting mechanism and changing production factors, abnormal working conditions often occur in fused magnesia furnace. The semi-molten condition is the most typical and harmful abnormal condition. In this paper, an adaptive pretraining-inference-dynamic training-validation semantic segmentation method based on industrial video is proposed for dynamic prediction of semi-molten condition of multiple fused magnesium furnaces. The experimental results show that compared with the prediction model without adaptive learning, the prediction performance of the adaptive learning model in this paper for multiple fused magnesium melting processes is significantly improved. 

  
A Linearized Branch Flow Model Considering Line Shunts for Distribution System and Its Application in Volt/VAr Control
Authors: Lin Hanyang , Nazir Firdous Ul , Pal Bikash , Guo Ye
Published: April 2022

With the fast expansion of the power grid and increasing complexity due to modern equipment, power flow models with non-convexity and long computing time are not suitable for network calculation and optimization problems. Therefore, this paper proposes a linearized branch flow model (LBF) considering line shunts (LBFS). The strength of LBF lies in its linear mathematical structure, and hence the convex nature, which is primarily achieved by regarding the apparent power flow as the branch current magnitude. Moreover, the calculation accuracy in nodal voltage magnitude is significantly improved by appropriately modeling line shunt admittances and network equipment like transformers, shunt capacitors and distributed generators (DG). We show the application scope of LBFS by controlling the network voltages through a two-stage stochastic optimization Volt/VAr control (VVC) problem considering DG output uncertainty. Since LBFS results in a linear VVC program, the global solution is guaranteed. Simulations show that VVC framework can optimally dispatch the discrete control devices, viz. substation transformers and shunt capacitors, and also optimize the decision rules for real time reactive power control of DGs. Besides, the computing efficiency is significantly improved compared to traditional VVC methods.
Time and Frequency Synchronization for OTFS
Authors: Bayat Mohsen , Farhang Arman
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we propose timing offset (TO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimators for orthogonal time frequency space modulation (OTFS). The proposed estimators do not require any additional training overheads as they deploy the same pilot signal that is used for channel estimation. Hence, no additional training overhead is required for synchronization, thanks to the periodic properties of the pilot signal in the delay-time domain. Our proposed TO estimator finds the start of each OTFS block by searching for a periodic sequence in delay and time dimensions. The CFO is then estimated by finding the mean of the angles of a two-dimensional correlation function at the best timing instant. As a novel aspect of these estimators, the multipath diversity of the channel is exploited to achieve a high estimation accuracy. Finally, we show the efficacy of our proposed synchronization techniques through extensive simulations.

Law Enforcement of Corruption in the Police: Assessing Law Enforcers Integrity
Authors: Rohmat Agus , Wahid Eriyantouw , Djajaputra Gunawan
Published: April 2022

Corruption within the Police can be committed by anyone regardless of educational background, ethnicity, rank, or position. Starting from the lowest to the highest ranks and positions, even though they are not free from the temptation of corruption. The research uses a qualitative approach with case study research by collecting data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research is descriptive-analytical. The results show that law enforcement that is conducted against police personnel who commit criminal acts of corruption is indeed carried out with the principle of “enforce the law using the law” through all existing regulations; however, the sanctions given are never or rarely as much as possible as stated in the law. This fact is law enforcement that does not wholeheartedly use the law. The implementation of law enforcement against police who commit corruption crimes is normatively carried out by combining the criminal sanctions and internal sanctions, such as dishonorable dismissals by Police institution. According to the existing laws and regulations, ideal law enforcement for police personnel who commit criminal acts of corruption must be carried out by prioritizing the combination of criminal sanctions, internal sanctions and widely publicized in Indonesian society as social sanctions.
Iringa Dipping Scheme in Mufindi 1940s -1958; ‘Development’ Resisted by Peasants
Authors: Mgaya Julius , Kapinga Osmund
Published: April 2022

This paper discussed the history of Iringa Dipping Scheme in Mufindi during the British colonial administration in the post Second World War period. Different schemes were introduced in Tanganyika. Among them were Sukumaland Development Scheme 1947, Uluguru Land Usage Scheme 1949, the Mbulu Development Scheme 1949 and Iringa Dipping Scheme 1951 to mention just a few. Most of these schemes were established with the main concern of land improvement and soil conservation which apparently was the result of colonial policies of overexploitation of resources. The colonial government claimed that Iringa dipping scheme was introduced to prevent cattle against tick borne diseases but the implementation was associated with compulsory state repression. Forceful implementation of the dipping scheme in Mufindi prompted peasant resentment to the scheme. However, the findings of this paper revealed that the establishment and development of Iringa Dipping Scheme was a response towards the economic crisis which was manifesting in the growing demands of beef and other raw materials in Britain and Tanganyika in the meat and related industries. The intensification of peasant resentment to the exploitative scheme through fees which they were forced to pay and the bother entailed in bringing their cattle to the dips. Peasant’s resistance and resentment culminated into the collapse of the dipping scheme of Mufindi in 1958. Should be grasped within the context of peasant struggle against exploitative system which was developed in post-war period. This paper employed historical research design utilizing qualitative approach. Primary and secondary sources were integrated together. Archival data were generated from Tanzania National Archives, University of Dar es Salaam, Sokoine University of Agriculture and Mufindi District. Oral histories were generated from the indigenous people to corroborate the archival data. Political economy theory was used to inform the study.

CORRELATION AND REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF TOURISTS SERVED BY TOURISM ENTITIES IN UKRAINE: REGIONAL DIFFERENCES
Authors: Morokhovych Vasyl , Hrabar Maryna , Kashka Mariia
Published: April 2022

Tourism is an important component of many countries, as the tourism sector works closely with other industries, attracting investment resources, strengthening the revenue side of the budget, improving the country's balance of payments, and promoting sustainable economic growth and welfare. The key indicator of the development of tourism is tourist flows that affect the spatial differences in the functioning of destinations and cause territorial socio-economic unevenness. The most significant determinants affecting the number of tourists serviced can be identified using correlation and regression analysis. The article analyzes the current state of the market of tourist services in Ukraine. The financial and economic crisis, which has intensified in recent years, the events related to the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the operation of the Joint Forces in the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, led to a decrease in the inbound tourist flow in Ukraine. The factors that influence the development of the tourism market of Ukraine are studied. Using the correlation-regression analysis, a model of cause and effect relationships between the population of the region, its real incomes, the number of tourist enterprises and the resulting feature – the number of tourists served, have been formed. Econometric models indicate that number of tourist enterprises positively affects the resulting feature in 95.8% of the regions; the income per capita contributes to an increase in the number of tourists served in 91.7% of the regions; and the number of population affects an increase in the number of tourists in 66.7% of the regions. Thus, the hypothesis of factor variables has been confirmed in most regions of Ukraine. The study of the number of tourists serviced by enterprises of tourist industry in the regional context enables us to analyze the efficiency of their activities and to determine the parameters of the regions with greater mobility of the population, as well as to identify the regions that generate tourist flows. The practical importance of constructing econometric models lies in the possibility of using them to predict the development of the tourism industry in Ukraine.

Abstractive Summarization System
Authors: Kumar Amit , Gupta Manoj Kumar
Published: April 2022

The World Wide Web has evolved into one of the world's most extensive information and knowledge repositories. Despite their ease of access, the great majority of such individual publications are extremely difficult to analyse or evaluate. Text summaries assist users in achieving such information-seeking goals by providing rapid access to the highlights or important features of a document collection. Abstractive summarization attempts to reduce a given text to its core components based on the user's preference for brevity. To summarise, there are two approaches: extraction and abstraction. Statistical techniques are used for extracting most important sentences from a corpus. Abstraction entails reformulating material based on the type of summary. This approach makes use of more adaptive language processing technology. Despite the fact that abstraction yields better summaries, extraction remains the favoured strategy and is widely employed in research. A number of approaches, including cosine, can be used to calculate the measure of resemblance between articles. Sentences' statistical & linguistic features are utilised to determine their importance. An abstractive summary is used to absorb the fundamental concepts of a material and then summarise them into plain English.

On the Configurations of Closed Kinematic Chains in Three-dimensional Space
Authors: Zangerl Gerhard , Steinicke Alexander
Published: April 2022

A kinematic chain in three-dimensional Euclidean space consists of $n$ links that are connected by spherical joints. Such a chain is said to be within a closed configuration when its link lengths form a closed polygonal chain in three dimensions. We investigate the space of configurations, described in terms of joint angles of its spherical joints, that satisfy the the loop closure constraint, meaning that the kinematic chain is closed. In special cases, we can find a new set of parameters that describe the diagonal lengths (the distance of the joints from the origin) of the configuration space by a simple domain, namely a cube of dimension $n-3$. We expect that the new findings can be applied to various problems such as motion planning for closed kinematic chains or singularity analysis of their configuration spaces. To demonstrate the practical feasibility of the new method, we present numerical examples.

The selective detection of ammonia (NH3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon oxides (CO2 and CO), acetone ((CH3)2CO), and toluene (C6H5CH3) is investigated by means of a gas sensor array based on polyaniline nanocomposites. The array composed by seven different conductive sensors with composite sensing layers are measured and analyzed using machine learning. Statistical tools, such as principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis, are used as dimensionality reduction methods. Five different classification methods, namely k-nearest neighbors algorithm, support vector machine, random forest, decision tree classifier, and Gaussian process classification (GPC) are compared to evaluate the accuracy of target gas determination. We found the Gaussian process classification model trained on features extracted from the data by principal component analysis to be a highly accurate method reach to 99% of the classification of six different gases.

2,5-Di(trimethylsilanyl)dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]thiophene ((TMS)2-bb-DTT), 2,5- di(trimethylsilanyl)diseleno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]thiophene ((TMS)2-bb-DST), and 2,5- di(trimethylsilanyl)diseleno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d] selenophene ((TMS)2-bb-DSS) were used as starting materials to synthesize three S-shaped double helicenes (i. e., DH-1, DH-2, and DH-3) through monobromination, formylation, the Wittig reaction, and double oxidative photocyclization. Photocyclization was a highly regioselective process. The molecular structures of DH-1 and DH-2 were confirmed by X-ray single-crystal analysis. Multiple intermolecular interactions, such as C-S, C-Se, S-S, S-Se, and Se-Se, were observed in the crystal packing structures of these compounds. Spectroscopic results and our previous work showed that the combination of molecular structure change and heteroatom replacement from S to Se could precisely modulate molecular energy levels.

AbstractThis paper aims to analyze EU foreign aid for development and the environment. To achieve this goal, the author describes the EU-Indonesia diplomatic relations in development and the environment and the implications of foreign aid for Indonesia’s environmental policy. This paper uses qualitative research methods by exploring indirect data sources derived from documentation studies and searching data through the internet. The theory used in this paper is Dependency Development Theory and Environmental Security. This paper finds that foreign aid from the European Union poses a dilemma for Indonesia, where on the one hand foreign assistance is needed for environmental development and maintenance, as well as poverty alleviation and socio-political inequality at the current global level. On the other hand, the strengthening of foreign aid in developing countries, especially in Indonesia, has led to Indonesia’s dependence on the European Union. Several foreign aids have been prioritized for the maintenance of Indonesia’s biological resources, which are one of the lungs of the world. This certainly has a positive impact in the midst of other types of impacts that are increasingly massive developments in developed countries which have negative effects on the environment.Keywords: Foreign Aid, Indonesia, Environmental Security, Development, European Union. AbstrakTulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bantuan asing Uni Eropa bagi pembangunan dan lingkungan.

Tulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan menggali sumber data tidak langsung yang berasal dari studi dokumentasi dan penelusuran data melalui internet. Teori yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah Teori Pembangunan Dependensia dan Keamanan Lingkungan. Tulisan ini menemukan bahwa bantuan asing dari Uni Eropa memberikan dilemma bagi Indonesia, dimana pada satu sisi bantuan asing diperlukan bagi pembangunan dan pemeliharaan lingkungan, serta pengentasan kemiskinan dan ketidaksetaraan sosial-politik di level global saat ini. Namun di sisi lain menguatnya bantuan asing di negara berkembang khususnya di Indonesia menimbulkan ketergantungan Indonesia terhadap Uni Eropa. Beberapa bantuan asing justru diprioritaskan bagi pemeliharaan sumberdaya hayati Indonesia yang menjadi salah satu dari paru-paru dunia. Hal ini tentunya memberikan dampak positif di tengah-tengah jenis dampak lainnya semakin massifnya pembangunan di negara-negara maju yang menimbulkan efek negatif bagi lingkungan.Kata Kunci: Bantuan Asing, Indonesia, Keamanan Lingkungan, Pembangunan, Uni Eropa.

Published: April 2022

Bu çalışmada yatırım teşvik sabit yatırım tutarları (YTS) ile ihracat ve ekonomik büyüme göstergesi olarak gayri safi milli hasıla (GSMH) arasındaki ilişki Türkiye’de bulunan 6 farklı yatırım teşvik bölgesine göre araştırılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda 2004-2019 dönemi için yıllık frekansta elde edilmiş veriler kullanılarak söz konusu ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırma yöntemi olarak panel veri analizleri kapsamında öncelikli olarak her bir bölge için yatay kesit bağımlılığı ve homojenlik testleri kullanılmış ve sonrasında ulaşılan sonuçlara göre uygun olan panel birim kök, panel eşbütünleşme ve panel nedensellik testleri kullanılarak değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişkiler ortaya konmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde bölgesel bazda farklılıkların olduğu ortaya çıkmakta olup, sanayi konusunda gelişmiş yapıya sahip bölgelerde yatırım teşviğin ihracat ve GSMH ile daha yoğun bir ilişki içerisinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan sanayiye önem vermeyen bölgeler için her ne kadar yüksek oranlı yatırım teşvik destek unsurları olsa da ilgili bölgelerde yatırım teşvik unsurlarının hem ihracat hem de GSMH ile uzun dönemde herhangi bir ilişki içerisinde olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Söz konusu bulgular illerdeki yatırımcıların hem coğrafi zorluklar hem de beşeri yapılarının elverişli olmaması sebebiyle uluslararası ticarete bakış açılarını geliştirmediği algısını yaratmaktadır.

Dünya üzerinde gerek ulaşım gerek ticaret noktasında deniz ve denizcilik sektörü büyük önem arz etmektedir. İşleyen ticaret zincirinin büyük bir halkası olan denizcilik sektörünün yegâne güçleri ise denizcilerdir. Bunun içindir ki gemi adamlarının refahı hem dönen ticaret sirkülasyonu için hem de kişisel iyilik hali için önem arz etmektedir. Bu noktada bu araştırma için çeşitli gemi türlerinden ve pozisyonlarından 200 gemi adamına ulaşılmıştır. Bu araştırmada gemi adamlarının Örğütsel Stres Ölçegi kullanılarak stres düzeyleri, Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri kullanılarak tükenmişlik düzeyleri ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği kullanılarak depresyon düzeyleri gemi adamlarının sosyodemoğrafik özellikleri açısından ölçeklerin alt boyutları dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın veri analizi SPSS 25.0 paket programında t-testi, one way ANOVA, ki-kare ve pearson korelasyon testleri kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda gemi adamlarının Örgütsel Stres Ölçeğinde cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, çocuk sahibi olma, gemideki pozisyon, çalışma yılı değişkenleri kontrol boyutunda anlamlı farklılık gösterir iken vardiya saatleri değişkenine göre ise iş yükü, kontrol boyutu ve sosyal destek alt boyutları olmak üzere tüm alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık görülmektedir. Öte yandan Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri çerçevesinde ise yaş, gemideki pozisyon ve gemi türü değişkenleri duygusal tükenmişlik boyutunda anlamlı farklılık gösterirken çocuk sahibi olma ve çalışma yılı değişkenleri duygusal tükenmişlik ve duyarsızlaşma alt boyutunda anlamlı fark göstermektedir. Beck Depresyon Ölçeğine göre ise sadece eğitim değişkeninde anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Korelasyon analizi sonucuna göre ise; bazı boyutlar arasında pozitif yönlü ilişkiye rastlanır iken bazı boyutlarda negatif yönlü ilişki görülmüştür.
Russophilia and Madness in Nineteenth-Century Romania: The Case of Michel Anagnosti
Authors: Taki Victor
Published: April 2022

This article examines the political writings of Michel Anagnosti, a French-educated Wallachian intellectual and publicist who came of age during the period of Russian hegemony in the Romanian principalities in the 1830s. Although Anagnosti was at first critical of Russian policies, the subsequent evolution of his political views placed him increasingly at odds with the “Fortyeighters”—the participants of the 1848 revolution in Wallachia that was suppressed by the Ottomans on Russia’s insistence. Whereas modern Romanian nationalism crystallized during the 1840s and the 1850s under distinctly anti-Russian slogans, Anagnosti evolved in the opposite direction and became an exponent of pro-Russian attitudes in the Romanian press of the 1860s and 1870s. Anagnosti’s unorthodox perspectives contrasted with the ideology of the “Fortyeighters” to the point of earning him the reputation of a madman and explaining his posthumous oblivion. An examination of Anagnosti’s oeuvre not only sheds light on a neglected figure of the Romanian intellectual life of the nineteenth century, but also provides an insight into the process of constructing the political mainstream in an emergent nation-state by associating critical and unorthodox perspectives with unreason.
Regionalism or Otherness in Greater Romania: Bessarabia’s Response to Cultural Nationalism in the First Years after Unification (1918–1930)
Authors: Chelaru Valeria
Published: April 2022

This article tackles the “thorny issue” of Bessarabia’s integration into Greater Romania. A former gubernia inside the Russian Empire for approximately one century, the population of this region, located between the Rivers Prut and Dniester, displayed reluctance to unite with Romania. The paper analyzes the sociopolitical environment that led to the union with the Kingdom of Romania in 1918; it then reassesses the policies of homogenization carried out by the Romanian state during its aggressive nationalization campaign and Bessarabia’s reaction to them. Bessarabia’s reunion with its historical sister provinces in 1918, as well as the entire period throughout which the region was part of Romania, is still a highly politicized subject. This article stresses the response of people of different identities to the reconfiguration of the center-periphery relationship, and to Romania’s mission to consolidate a “nationalizing state.” It therefore emphasizes the asymmetry between the aspirations of the center and those of the Bessarabian populations.

Excerpts from Gala Galaction,
Journal
, vols. 5–6 (Bucharest: Editura Albatros, 1996)
Authors: Clark Roland
Published: April 2022

Grigorie Pișculescu (1879–1961), better known by his literary pseudonym Gala Galaction, was one of the most prominent Romanian writers and church figures in the twentieth century. In his short stories, novels, and newspaper articles, Galaction developed an idiosyncratic style that integrated Eastern Orthodox themes and imagery into the lives of his characters, most of whom were peasants or working class. Unlike most religious writers in early-twentieth-century Romania, who were committed ultranationalists, even fascists, Galaction was a socialist who believed that defending the rights of the poor constituted a central Christian duty. As a result, he became valuable to the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) after the Second World War. Written over a 57-year period, his journal provides unique insights into major changes in Romanian religion, politics, and society that took place during the twentieth century. In these excerpts he writes about being courted—and manipulated—by the PCR because of his celebrity status.
