Implementasi Metode Taboo Code Untuk Kompresi File Video
Authors: Simanjuntak Saiful
Published: March 2024

Video is a technology for capturing, recording, processing, and rearranging images usually using electronic signals, or digital media. For example, a video file that is large in size causes the sending process to take longer, and uses a large amount of memory space in its storage. Problems that arise due to the large file size include the wasteful storage media used, as well as more time in terms of data exchange, data transfer via the internet is a big problem in Indonesia because download and upload speeds are very low. To overcome this problem, data compression techniques are needed. The concept of compression was born as a real solution to the problem of the amount of space needed to store various digital files, including video files. Compression technique is a technique that compresses files so that their size becomes smaller while maintaining the quality of the representation of the filet.
Implementasi Algoritma H.264 Untuk Kompresi File Pada Aplikasi Transfer File
Authors: Sianturi Lamsihar Grasella
Published: March 2024

Transfer files that have a relatively large size, result in a long transfer process and also consume a large internet quota in the sending process. Where the smaller the file size to be sent, the transfer process is also fast, and does not consume a lot of internet quota. To solve this problem, it is necessary to have compression which functions to reduce the size of the files to be transferred. One of the compression algorithms is H.264. The compression process using the H.264 algorithm is carried out when the file is sent, then when the file is received by the recipient, the file will be decompressed. Using the H.264 algorithm, the file will be sent successfully reducing the file size with a ratio of compression (RC) 2.5%, compression ratio (CR) 40%, redundancy (RD) 60%, and helping the transmission process of sending large files will be faster and save internet quota.

Published: March 2024

Nowadays there are many applications that help the process of duplicating audio, of course this takes up more storage space. For that we need a method that can be used to identify the same or duplicate audio files. The solution that can be done to handle duplication of audio files or duplicates is to apply hash type cryptography techniques where the process of identifying the hash value of the audio file is carried out so that the resulting value is different from the original file. The hash type cryptographic algorithm used is the MD4 algorithm. The results obtained from the process of applying the MD4 algorithm are grouping audio files based on the same hash value, making it easier and faster for users to delete duplicate audio files

Published: March 2024

El-gamal algorithm has two keys, namely public key and secret key.  This algorithm has security that lies in the difficulty in calculating discrete algorithms. Both encryption and decryption keys are integers.  El-gamal algorithm type asymmetric cryptography algorithm consists of two keys namely public key to encrypt while private key to decrypt. In El-gamal algorithms, distributed keys are public keys that are not required confidentiality while private keys remain stored or not distributed. Anyone who has a public key can do the encryption process but the result of that encryption can only be read by the person who has the private key. To increase the strength of the algorithm, the key used to perform the encryption and decryption process will be modified first using the randomization algorithm that is Karger Min Cut Algorithm. Karger Min Cut algorithm is a probabilistic random algorithm used to verify matrix multiplication. The purpose of using Kargers Min Cut algorithm is to make the resulting key more difficult to guess, making it difficult to read the message or information

Authors: Amanda Vriska , Khairunnisa Siti
Published: March 2024

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting solution where one physical server is divided into several isolated virtual servers. Each virtual server operates independently with the resources assigned to it. VPS uses virtualization technology that allows multiple virtual servers to run on one physical server. The main advantage of VPS is the ability to have complete control over the server without the need to manage complex physical infrastructure. In addition, VPS also offers a higher level of privacy and security compared to share hosting. However, in choosing a VPS, several problems can arise. Too few resources can hurt website or application performance, while too many resources can result in waste and unnecessary costs. Also, issues such as downtime, poor connection speed, or server constraints can cause disruption to the hosted website or application. To choose a VPS that suits user needs, the MOORA method is used as a decision support system. In this case, 9 VPS providers were selected which would be evaluated based on the criteria of CPU, RAM, Storage, Bandwidth and Cost. After applying the MOORA method, alternative A4 with a Yi value of 1,590 was declared the best alternative, and the Exabytes provider was considered the best VPS service provider.

Published: March 2024

Analizar muestras con datos desbalanceados es un desafío para quien debe utilizarlos en términos de modelización. Un contexto en el que esto sucede es cuando la variable de respuesta es binaria y una de sus clases es muy pequeña en proporción respecto al total. Para la modelización de variables binarias se suele usar modelos de probabilidad como logit o probit. No obstante, estos modelos presentan problemas cuando la muestra no es balanceada y se desea elaborar la matriz de confusión de  donde se evalúa el poder predictivo del modelo. Una técnica que permite balancear los datos observados es el algoritmo SMOTE, el cual trabaja con datos numéricos exclusivamente. Este trabajo es una extensión de SMOTE tal que permite el uso de datos mixtos (numéricos y categóricos). Al usar datos mixtos, la presente propuesta también permite superar la barrera de 65536 observaciones que tiene el software R cuando trabaja con distancias de datos categóricos. Mediante un estudio de simulación, se logra verificar las bondades del algoritmo propuesto: SMOTEMD para datos mixtos.

Morfologia do sistema reprodutor masculino e espermatozoides de Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) iguazu Flint, 1983 (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae)
Authors:   , Costa Dayvson Ayala
Published: March 2024

Trichoptera são insetos holometábolos, aquáticos e possuem ampla distribuição em todos os continentes, exceto Antártida. Estudos sobre espermatologia de Trichoptera se restringiram apenas a espécies do Novo Mundo, elucidando a presença de espermatozoides eupirenes (nucleados), diferentemente de Lepidoptera, os quais produzem, além dos eupirenes, espermatozoides apirenes (anucleados). A ausência de estudos sobre a morfologia do sistema reprodutor e dos espermatozoides de espécies neotropicais, tem levado a uma carência de informações que seriam úteis para a compreensão da sistemática dessas espécies. Assim, neste estudo descrevemos a morfologia da genitália, sistema reprodutor masculino e dos espermatozoides da espécie Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) iguazu (Hydropsychidae) a partir da microscopia de luz. A genitália de S. iguazu difere daquelas do holótipo e de alguns parátipos, indicando que possivelmente as diferentes populações representem um complexo, não apenas uma espécie como tem sido descrito. O sistema reprodutor masculino é similar aos que já foram descritos em outros Trichoptera, contudo possui apenas um folículo testicular e não há vesículas seminais. Os testículos são piriformes, e através dos cortes histológicos observamos que os espermatozoides estão em feixes restritos à região apical e o restante dele é preenchido por um material filamentoso denso. Os ductos deferentes são longos e finos em qualquer região com espermatozoides. As glândulas acessórias são longas e possuem duas regiões com conteúdos distintos: a região proximal é preenchida por glóbulos proteicos e a distal por uma substância homogênea, escura avermelhada. Os ductos deferentes desembocam na região apical do bulbo ejaculatório, o qual tem espessa camada muscular, enquanto as glândulas acessórias na sua região basal. Os espermatozoides, com cerca 40 µm de comprimento, são aflagelados e imóveis, como na maioria dos Annulipalpia. Contudo, difere das espécies já estudadas de Integripalpia. Ressaltamos que este é o primeiro trabalho de histologia do sistema reprodutor masculino realizado com Trichoptera. Palavras-chave: Sistemática. Testículos. Aflagelado. Microscopia. Moscas d’água.

As informações obtidas foram examinadas com o auxílio dos softwares Excel, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) e Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRaMuTeQ), em complementariedade a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram: i) a existência de práticas de apropriação tecnológica do celular por parte das famílias rurais de Ervália, que incorporaram o aparelho celular na busca por acesso à informação, para o trabalho, entretenimento e lazer; ii) Para a juventude de Ervália a sociabilidade na era digital emerge reforçando a socialização com pessoas com as quais se relacionam face a face, principalmente, no âmbito familiar e no grupo de amigos, mas, também, para a comunicação com conhecidos que estão distantes; iii) Constatou-se que mesmo entre os jovens o uso do celular com seus aplicativos e jogos se estabelece, prioritariamente, entre os amigos do âmbito local. Ou seja, o processo de apropriação do telefone celular revelou a instituição de um “habitus tecnológico” que não enfraquece os laços locais, mas, antes, reforça as tradições culturais locais, como festas, encontros entre amigos, familiares e conhecidos, além de comemorações religiosas. Esses resultados mostram que a tecnologia da comunicação, em si, não descaracteriza os costumes locais de seus usuários, mesmo no meio rural. Mas aponta, também, para o fato destes usuários não estarem isolados e desconectados do mundo globalizado no qual estão inseridos.

Cotton stands as a pivotal crop globally, offering fibers for clothing, feed for livestock, and oil for diverse industries Nonetheless, its production faces a myriad of threats from various diseases that jeopardize yield and quality. To address this challenge, a proposed model advocates for the creation of an application merging Flutter, a cross-platform mobile development framework, and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for efficient disease identification in cotton plants. The proposed system aims to design a user-friendly interface, train a CNN model with a substantial dataset to achieve an average of 85% accuracy, integrate the model with Flutter for both online and offline disease identification, and assess the app's usability across diverse user groups. The envisioned systems hold transformative potential in Precision Agriculture, enabling swift disease identification for targeted interventions and reduced reliance on broad-spectrum pesticides. It serves as a Crop Monitoring Service for experts, aids in farmer education on cotton diseases, and contributes to research and development by collecting data on disease patterns. Furthermore, it enhances Crop Insurance Assessment, expediting claims processing with accurate disease identification. Positioned as a pioneering solution for cotton disease management, the app promises to elevate crop productivity, quality, and profitability, while concurrently enhancing the knowledge and skills of stakeholders in the agricultural sector.

The integration of beneficiaries of international protection is both a social and economic challenge for Romania. On the one hand, they can contribute to the budget and stimulate the economy through work and consumption, but on the other hand they require initial investment for integration. Studies show that effective integration can generate long-term economic benefits for host countries, but also that barriers such as access to the labour market, education or housing exist. Sound statistical data and relevant indicators are essential to inform policies. Integration is also a European priority, with the EU supporting inclusion through access to essential services. The costs of integration in Romania are estimated at 8000 euro/person annually and include accommodation, education, health. The materialized benefits indicate a contribution of over 4000 euros / year from a employed refugee. Financing in Romania comes mainly from EU funds such as AMIF or ERDF, non-reimbursable. National policy provides for measures such as training, reskilling and collaboration with Employment Agencies for Integration into the labour market. Global estimates indicate tax benefits of more than €110 million for 20 years after the integration of 100,000 refugees. Research shows mixed views on the economic impact, but also real difficulties in integrating into the labour market due to recognition of qualifications. Active policies and public-private partnerships are needed to increase employability and unlock the long-term potential of refugees.

We live in an age of technology when people increasingly give up on television and turn to online streaming sources to entertain. These services provide an alternative to cable and satellite on-demand service, sometimes at a lower cost. Due to its intense development over the last few years, video streaming technology has attracted academic attention as a valuable tool for learning or improving English. Thus, this study discusses the practicality of video streaming use in foreign language higher education. It starts with a brief review of the literature on the use of video for language learning, focusing on the main benefits for learners. Then, the study presents the video as a learning tool underlying its advantages over the other previous physical technologies. To highlight the value of video streaming to language education, benefits and problems are explained, and Netflix is outlined as an example of a streaming video platform that may be used within English language teaching. General vocabulary items will be acquired, and listening skills will be improved. However, the interest in studying and approaching new topics focusing on specialized vocabulary will be recognized as an advantage when utilizing video streaming platforms. Next, specific strategies for using video streaming platforms will be outlined. The first was that short documentaries could be watched along with multiple-choice questions to promote general vocabulary building. The second is that Netflix’s series or movies can be utilized to find specific themes to help explain particular grammar or vocabulary points while improving the specialized business vocabulary.

To conclude, despite Austria’s efforts toward social justice and gender equality, our analysis suggests that the selected policies are highly technical and do not deeply engage with the mentioned notions. While Austria moves toward becoming the global leader in energy innovation, its focus must not be limited to technology, but also the diverse user groups of such interventions. Moreover, we believe the inclusion of energy poverty, its working definition, and recommended measures, especially in the NECP document, is a good starting point for the Austrian policymakers to reflect more on social inclusions, those who are rendered invisible, and targeted measures for vulnerable and/or hard to reach people.
