Accordingly, issues of clarification of the essence of the Bank’s credit rating, the study of the theoretical peculiarities of its definition and practical aspects of its application in Ukraine become of particular urgency and importance.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study the essence of the rating and credit rating of the bank and the analysis of the state of development of the national rating assessment of banks activity in Ukraine.

Results. The economic essence of the credit rating of banks is investigated. The theoretical positions on rating according to different characteristics according to their content (assessment, characteristic, system, indicator, method, installation, process, distribution, tool, forecast) are systematized. The essence of the definition of “bank rating” is specified. The main authorized national rating agencies are identified. The domestic basic approaches to assigning credit ratings to banks are investigated. The credit rating of domestic banks of Ukraine is analyzed.

Conclusions. Credit rating is the main source of information for clients and investors, on the basis of which the choice of the bank is made for investing clients’ funds and formulating strategic goals and tasks of development of the banks themselves. There are various methodological approaches to determining the essence of the bank’s credit rating, its analysis and evaluation. Modern rating assessments should be adapted for Ukrainian banks and correspond to the real financial situation of a banking institution.

Divisiveness among humans is so inherent, rampant and intuitive that none would find it easy to escape the oppression resulting from this man-made setback. The Human psyche covets to rule, master and exploit its power over others; and this is the core and the most intimate cause of all intolerance and oppression in our world, whatever label one wants to bracket then under, say, caste, creed, race, gender or faith. This paper titled, Grapple for Equality: A Critical Analysis of Caste and Gender Discrimination in Bama’s Vanmam (Vendetta) is an attempt to identify the gender inequality and sexual violence among Dalit women exposed by the author. The main themes of the Dalit writings in India usually centre on subjects like social disability, caste system, economic inequality, contemporary cruelties and cultural assertion that have been uniquely entitled ‘the struggle for identity’. Bama, one of the renowned Tamil Dalit woman writers, dwells on the themes of caste and gender discrimination in most of her novels. The novel Vanmam mainly focuses on Dalit women, highlighting how they are subjected to social discriminations of multiple sorts.

Power consumption-Traffic aware-Improved Resource Intensity Aware Load balancing (PT-IRIAL) method was proposed to balance load in cloud computing by choosing the migration Virtual Machines (VMs) and the destination Physical Machines (PMs). In this paper, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique called Reinforcement Learning (RL) is introduced to find out an optimal time to migrate the selected VM to the selected destination PM. RL enables an agent to find out the most appropriate time for VM migration based on the resource utilization, power consumption, temperature and traffic demand. RL is incorporated into the cloud environment by creating multiple state and action space. The state space is obtained through the computation of resource utilization, power consumption, temperature and traffic of selected VMs. The action space is represented as wait or migrate which is learned through a reward function. Based on the action space, the selected VMs are waiting or migrating to the selected destination PMs.

We improvised the performance on the task of Visual Dialogue. We integrate a novel mechanism called self-attention to improve the results reported in the original Visual Dialogue paper. Visual Dialogue is different from other downstream tasks and serves as a universal test of machine intelligence. The model has to be adroit in both vision and language enough to allow assessment of individual answers and observe the development. The dataset used in this paper is VisDial v0.9 which is collected by Georgia Tech University. We used the same train/test splits as the original paper to estimate the result. It contains a total of approximately 1.2 million dialogue question-answer pair which has ten question-answer pairs on ~120,000 images from COCO.To keep the comparison fair and simple, we have used the encoder-decoder architecture namely Late-Fusion Encoder and Discriminative decoder. We included the self-attention module from SAGAN paper into the encoder. The inclusion self-attention module was based in the fact that a lot of answers from visual dialog model were solely based on the questions asked and not on the image. So, the hypothesis is that the self-attention module will make the model attend to the image while generating an answer.

This study examines the factors that influence the readiness of the auditors in the National Audit Department of Malaysia for accrual accounting adoption. The factors examined were change valence, task knowledge and resource availability while the auditors’ readiness were measured through change commitment and change efficacy in embracing the accrual accounting adoption. Eighty-one responses of a questionnaire survey were obtained from the auditors in the organisation in charge of auditing the Malaysian Federal Government. Multiple regressions were performed to analyse the data. The findings showed that change valence and task knowledge have a positive and significant influence on change commitment and change efficacy which reflect the auditors’ readiness for accrual accounting adoption. However, no significant positive relationship was observed for resource availability with change commitment and change efficacy. This study is important as it is the first study that examined the determinants of auditors’ readiness for accrual accounting adoption in the National Audit Department. Therefore, it would serve as a cornerstone towards supporting the National Audit Department in embracing the accrual accounting adoption.

”Vehicle collision detection during night time” is an attempt to find an improved solution for vehicle detection problem, during night time. Night time vehicle detection is a challenging area since, the contrast between back ground and foreground is very less due to non uniform lighting, reflections, multiple light sources etc. This algorithm is a blend of night time image enhancement technique and fusion technique for fusing multiple features based on their weight. Image enhancement is an important aspect of the algorithm as it helps in improving the contrast between foreground and back ground as well as improving the lighting, so that it becomes easier to distinguish vehicle and other illuminated objects such as street lights. For improved reliability of the algorithm, set of complementary features - LBP (local binary pattern), HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) and a CNN based feature - are used in the algorithm and are fused together using weighted fusion technique. For classification purpose, individual SVMs are trained for each feature and another SVM is trained for final rank based vehicle detection. Accurate region of interest in computed during detection phase, and is used for vehicle detection by trained SVM classifiers. Tail light detection is used for efficient region proposals. The algorithm is improved by leveraging the region proposals and high accuracy detection of Faster RCNN [10]. The algorithm detects multiple vehicles in single image frame and at possible multiple locations and distances within the frame.

The expanded development of cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm is known as Fog Computing. The focus of the fog is to achieve fine data processing in the cloud. Apart from everything, authentication is the primary security guard to the system. Since fog is a booming paradigm, the traditional authentication techniques lacks in latency issues and fails to satisfy the requirements of fog computing. In this paper, a new Mutual Authentication Technique using ID (MATID) is introduced to entrust complete mutual authentication between fog users and fog nodes. In this technique, fog users and fog nodes have to register themselves in a common Identity Issuer (IDI) to get their authentication message respectively to collaborate in the network. Fog users and fog nodes have to perform only simple hash functions and XOR operations. Our technique mainly focuses on mutual authentication, trustworthiness and reduced computational and communication costs. It ensures higher security and easily adapted to the fog computing environment.

This paper presents a case study of implementing computational methods like Natural Language Processing (NLP) to perform Text Analytics and Visualization on political speech transcripts. The speech transcripts are published on websites, social media, and documents in large volumes and multiple languages. These transcripts are available in unstructured textual format and thus they are a part of big-data requiring analytics to derive insights from it. In this experiment, a significantly large volume of speech transcripts are analyzed and graphical visualizations are generated such as Lexical Dispersion Plot, Time Series Plot, WordCloud, Bar-Graphs using various Python libraries. The study has been useful in identifying issues highlighted across a large number of speech transcripts. So far, the linguists have tried to perform analysis using manual linguistic approaches which are extremely time-consuming and complex to understand the Political Discourse. Our experiment of applying NLP based text analytics proves to be a very efficient technique for Political Discourse Analysis (PDA).

The “XML TOOL” is used to design and develop the efficient web based application. The main objective of this application is to design and develop web based software for creation of XML, DTD, Schema and Validation of XML against a DTD or Schema, thereby reducing the discrepancies of the existing manual system which is quite inefficient and time consuming. The user can create XML by giving the name of the file, the names of the tags, description of tags, its sub tags, the attributes and the various other values. The user can create DTD and XSD by providing values for the tag names, the sub tags names, the attribute names and the various rules associated with it. The XML, DTD and XSD files are created automatically based on the values provided by the user. The user can check if the XML is well formed or not. The user can manually edit the XML, DTD or XSD that is auto created. The user can validate the XML against either a DTD or an XSD. If the XML is valid then a success message is be displayed in green color. If the XML is either not well formed or not valid, then the associated errors are displayed in red color.

The open idea of the remote medium abandons it powerless against deliberate impedance assaults, normally alluded to as sticking. This deliberate impedance with remote transmissions can be utilized as a platform for mounting Denial-of-Service assaults on remote systems. Normally, sticking has been tended to under an outside danger demonstrate. Be that as it may, enemies with inner information of convention determinations and system insider facts can dispatch low-exertion sticking assaults that are hard to recognize and counter. In this work, we address the issue of particular sticking assaults in remote systems. In these assaults, the foe is dynamic just for a brief timeframe, specifically focusing on messages of high significance. We represent the benefits of particular sticking as far as system execution corruption and foe exertion by introducing two contextual investigations; a specific assault on TCP and one on navigation. We demonstrate that specific sticking assaults can be propelled by performing continuous bundle arrangement at the physical layer. To alleviate these assaults, we create three plans that avoid continuous parcel arrangement by joining cryptographic natives with physical-layer traits. We break down the security of our techniques and assess their computational and correspondence overhead.
