Defending Against Collaborative Attacks by Malicious Nodes in MANETs: A Cooperative Bait Detection Approach
Authors: Joshi Sarvesh S.
Published: July 2018

Wireless networks are computer networks that are not connected by cables of any kind. The use of wireless network enables enterprises to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into buildings or as a connection between different equipment locations. Wireless networks are susceptible to many attacks. One such specific attack is a black hole attack in which malicious node falsely claiming itself as having the fresh and shortest path to the destination. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are used for communication among Mobiles and roadside equipment’s. MANET, is a form of Mobile ad-hoc network, to provide communications among nearby Mobiles and between Mobiles and nearby fixed equipment, usually described as roadside equipment. Each Mobile equipped with MANET device will be a node in the Ad-Hoc network and can receive and relay others messages through the wireless network This paper attempts to resolve this issue by designing a dynamic source routing (DSR)-based routing mechanism, which is referred to as the cooperative bait detection scheme (CBDS), that integrates the advantages of both proactive and reactive defense architectures. Our CBDS method implements a reverse tracing technique to help in achieving the stated goal. Proposed system helps us in defending against the black hole attack without any requirement of hardware and special detection node.
Opinion: Neural differentiation of incorrectly predicted memories
Authors: Greve Andrea , Abdulrahman Hunar , Henson Richard
Published: July 2018

In their recent article ‘Neural differentiation of incorrectly predicted memories’, Kim et al. (2017) investigate how neural representations of items change when they are incorrectly predicted and subsequently restudied. The authors conclude such items undergo representational differentiation, i.e. a decreased overlap in the representations of an item and its context. We suggest the results are equally compatible with the reverse mechanism of integration, i.e. increased learning of new information and present simulations to demonstrate this. More importantly, we show how new experimental conditions could distinguish integration from differentiation and discuss how the results fit with recent suggestions about prediction-error driven learning and transitive inference.
Look again: Pedagogical demonstration facilitates children's use of counterevidence
Authors: Butler Lucas P
Published: July 2018

In learning about the world, we must not only make inferences based on minimal evidence, but must deal with conflicting evidence and question those initial inferences when they appear to be wrong. In three experiments (N=96), we found that in some cases young children only revise their causal beliefs when conflicting evidence is explicitly demonstrated for them. Four- and 5-year-old children inferred a rule about what objects had causal powers, and then saw evidence conflicting with that initial inference. Critically, the conflicting evidence was produced either instrumentally and intentionally, or demonstrated communicatively and pedagogically. Only when evidence was explicitly demonstrated for them did children revise their initial hypothesis and use a subtle clue to infer the correct rule.
Openness to Experience and Culture-Openness Transactions Across the Lifespan
Authors: Schwaba Ted , Luhmann Maike , Denissen Jaap J. A. , Chung Joanne M. , Bleidorn Wiebke
Published: July 2018

We examined the lifespan development of openness to experience and tested whether change in this personality trait was associated with change in cultural activity, such as attending the opera or visiting museums. Data came from the Dutch Longitudinal Internet Study for the Social Sciences panel, which includes 5 personality assessments across a 7-year period of a nationally representative sample of 7,353 individuals, aged 16 to 95 years. Latent growth curve analyses indicated that on average, openness remained relatively stable in emerging adulthood before declining in midlife and old age. At each stage of life, there were significant individual differences in openness development, and changes in openness were correlated with changes in cultural activity. Autoregressive cross-lagged analyses indicated that increases in cultural activity precipitated increases in openness, and vice versa. These culture-openness transactions held across different age and education groups and when controlling for household income. We found less consistent co-developmental associations between cultural activity and the other Big Five traits. We discuss the implications of these results for personality development theory and the role of cultural investment in personality trait change.
Competition in Media Systems and Voter Knowledge: An Agent-Based Model
Authors: Schoonvelde Martijn
Published: July 2018

This paper presents an agent-based model (ABM) that shows that variation in voter knowledge can in part be driven by competition among media outlets. Using a set of simple behavioral rules implemented by voters, parties and media outlets, the model predicts that stronger media competition increases political knowledge of quality-minded voters vis-a-vis motivated reasoners although aggregate differences are small. This is because these voters are most likely to consume news even when it is of low quality. Not only do these results contribute to a larger (empirical) debate about media competition and political knowledge, but the model also serves as a theoretical starting point for exploring these patterns further.

Published: July 2018

Abstract- Although most people have left behind the traditional prophecy in this modern era, there are few circles that still belief it and actually using it. In the field of agriculture some farmers still believe in the traditional prophecy regards the weather forecast even though there is modern calculation. This study aims to understand how the knowledge management of agricultural prophecy in the manuscripts of Sundanese society. The study is based on qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. Data collection incorporates participant-observation, interviews, and literature study. The results show the ancestors passed down the knowledge, values, and ability orally and supported it with text. Unfortunately, the original manuscript had not been passed down; Hanacaraka methods include letters related to values and direction in accordance with the letters, years, months and days count, forbidden months, forbidden directions/ stay away from danger, bad luck months, good direction to pass through during a certain day; the informant claims that every day is a good day, but we need to choose the best day among these good days, with Hanacaraka Methods; the informant obtained the Hanacaraka prophecy method orally and supported by manuscript text, which has to be copied and handwritten by himself from his ancestor’s manuscript. The result of the study might generate contribution for the government in maintaining local wisdom or indigenous knowledge by preserving the traditional intellectual asset of individuals in a society.

Authors: Maia Chagas Andre
Published: July 2018

Although many efforts are being made to make science more open and accessible, they aremostly concentrated on issues that appear before and after experiments are performed: Open accessjournals, open databases for data and code sharing, and many other tools to increase replicability ofscience and access to information. While great, these initiatives do not directly increase the access tothe scientific equipment necessary to perform experiments and to generate new data. Unfortunately,their availability has always been uneven around the world, mostly due to monetary constraints andaffecting mostly low income countries and institutions. In this paper a case is made for the use offree/open source hardware in research and education even in countries and institutions where fundswere never a problem.

Published: July 2018

The recent introduction of RepRap (Self-Replicating Rapid Prototyper) 3-D printers and the resultant open source technological improvements have resulted in affordable 3-D printing, enabling low-cost distributed manufacturing for individuals. This development and others such as the rise of open source-appropriate technology (OSAT) and solar powered 3-D printing are moving 3-D printing from an industry specific technology to one that could be used in the developing world for sustainable development. In this paper, we explore some specific technological improvements and how distributed manufacturing with open-source 3-D printing can provide sustainable development by creating wealth for developing world communities through the ability to print less expensive and customized products. Conclusions on the technical viability of 3-D printing to assist in development and recommendations on how developing communities can fully exploit this technology have been outlined.

A propose of rules defining as a didactic transposition should occur or be achieved - the generalized didactic transposition theory
Authors: de Mello Luiz Adolfo
Published: July 2018

We present the most current version of the theory of didactic transposition that encompasses (synthesizes) Theory of Chevallard (1991), the Cognitive Theory of Science (CTS) and Mental Models of Jhonson-Laird (1980). Is made here a brief review of Chevallard theory and exposes the generalization of this theory by author according to the work of Izquierdo-Aymerich (2003). That is, it is proposed here a theory to study how the knowledge scientific (the original scientific models) are transposed to the didactic models. That is, to analyze how the knowledge produced in the 'academic environment' change, adapt, simplify and consolidate as knowledge to be taught in the classroom. Complementing the work of Chevallard (1982), Brockington (2005) and others we re-present the characteristics that define the reason of a certain knowledge to be present in textbooks and propose rules defining as a DT should occur or be achieved.

Defining Peruvians as a Problem: Ethnic Projects and Resistance at a Japanese Elementary School
Authors: Moorehead Robert
Published: July 2018

I argue that some Japanese elementary school practices, such as having foreign parents sign a loyalty oath and repeatedly questioning the parents about their migration plans, constitute an ethnic project that defines these parents as disloyal aliens who are unwilling to adapt to Japanese cultural norms. In response, the foreign parents limit their willingness to assimilate. Based on ethnographic fieldwork at a public elementary school in central Japan that has more than 50 foreign children, the majority of whom are Peruvians of Japanese descent, I explore the context of reception in the school, including teacher-parent relations, teachers’ expectations, their complaints, and their questions about the parents’ commitment to living in the host country. I ask what is the nature of the relationship between Japanese teachers and foreign parents? How are school practices influencing the context of reception, and how is that context impacting foreign parents’ sense of belonging in Japan? I conclude by discussing potential impacts, including the reproduction of existing inequalities in this immigrant population.

Evidence for magnitude representations of social hierarchies: Size and distance effects
Authors: Holmgren Jostein , Isager Peder Mortvedt , Schubert Thomas W.
Published: July 2018

Social status is often metaphorically construed in terms of spatial relations such as height, size, and numerosity. This has led to the idea that social status might partially be represented by an analogue magnitude system, responsible for processing the magnitude of various physical and abstract dimensions. Accordingly, processing of social status should obey Weber’s law. We conducted three studies to investigate whether social status comparisons would indicate behavioral outcomes derived from Weber’s law: the distance effect and the size effect. Dependent variable was the latency of status comparisons for a variety of both learned and familiar hierarchies. As predicted and in line with previous findings, we observed a clear distance effect. However, the effect of size variation differed from the size effect hypothesized a priori, and an unexpected interaction between the two effects was observed. In conclusion, we provide a robust confirmation of previous observations of the distance effect in social status comparisons, but the shape of the size effect requires new theorizing.

Top-down versus bottom-up theories of phonological acquisition: A big data approach
Authors: Bergmann Christina , Tsuji Sho , Cristia Alejandrina
Published: July 2018

Recent work has made available a number of standardized meta-analyses bearing on various aspects of infant language processing. We utilize data from two such meta-analyses (discrimination of vowel contrasts and word segmentation, i.e., recognition of word forms extracted from running speech) to assess whether the published body of empirical evidence supports a bottom-up versus a top-down theory of early phonological development by leveling the power of results from thousands of infants. We predicted that if infants can rely purely on auditory experience to develop their phonological categories, then vowel discrimination and word segmentation should develop in parallel, with the latter being potentially lagged compared to the former. However, if infants crucially rely on word form information to build their phonological categories, then development at the word level must precede the acquisition of native sound categories. Our results do not support the latter prediction. We discuss potential implications and limitations, most saliently that word forms are only one top-down level proposed to affect phonological development, with other proposals suggesting that top-down pressures emerge from lexical (i.e., word-meaning pairs) development. This investigation also highlights general procedures by which standardized meta-analyses may be reused to answer theoretical questions spanning across phenomena.
Analisis Persepsi Masyarakat terhadap Bank Syariah di Kabupaten Polewali Mandar Sulawesi Barat

Published: July 2018

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi masyarakat terhadap bank syariah serta pengaruh persepsi atas perbankan syariah tersebut terhadap preferensi masyarakat pada bank syariah di Kabupaten Polewali Mandar Sulawesi Barat. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan penarikan sampel dari populasi dengan sistem cluster : yaitu nasabah bank konvensional, nasabah bank syariah, nasabah bank syariah dan konvensional, dan masyarakat umum yang ada di Kota Polewali dan Wonomulyo. Teknik pengumpulan datanya melalui kuisioner, sedangkan analisis data dengan analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi linier sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari sisi persepsi, sebagian besar masyarakat menyetujui keberadaan bank syariah yang menerapkan prinsip bagi hasil yang sesuai dengan syariat Islam serta keberadaan bank syariah yang berbeda dari sistem perbankan konvensional. Akan tetapi masih terdapat keragu-raguan/sikap netral dari masyarakat terhadap pemahaman akan riba yang difatwakan haram oleh Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) serta sistem bunga yang termasuk kategori riba yang dijalankan oleh perbankan konvensional. Dari sisi preferensi masyarakat terhadap bank syariah, sebagian besar masyarakat berdasarkan hasil kuisioner belum sepenuhnya menempatkan pilihannya pada perbankan syariah. Hal ini secara umum menunjukkan bahwa walaupun masyarakat telah mengakui keberadaan perbankan syariah, akan tetapi tidak serta merta hal tersebut mendorong masyarakat untuk memilih bank syariah. Sementara itu berdasarkan hasil pengujian hipotesis yang telah dilakukan, diperoleh hasil bahwa persepsi masyarakat terhadap bank syariah berpengaruh secara positif dan signifikan terhadap preferensi masyarakat pada bank syariah.

NETANOS - Named entity-based Text Anonymization for Open Science
Authors: Kleinberg Bennett , Mozes Maximilian , van der Toolen Yaloe , Verschuere Bruno
Published: July 2018

Background: The shift towards open science, implies that researchers should share their data. Often there is a dilemma between publicly sharing data and protecting their subjects' confidentiality. Moreover, the case of unstructured text data (e.g. stories) poses an additional dilemma: anonymizing texts without deteriorating their content for secondary research. Existing text anonymization systems either deteriorate the content of the original or have not been tested empirically. We propose and empirically evaluate NETANOS: named entity-based text anonymization for open science. NETANOS is an open-source context-preserving anonymization system that identifies and modifies named entities (e.g. persons, locations, times, dates). The aim is to assist researchers in sharing their raw text data.Method & Results: NETANOS anonymizes critical, contextual information through a stepwise named entity recognition (NER) implementation: it identifies contextual information (e.g. "Munich") and then replaces them with a context-preserving category label (e.g. "Location_1"). We assessed how good participants were in re-identifying several travel stories (e.g. locations, names) that were presented in the original (“Max”), human anonymized (“Max” → “Person1”), NETANOS (”Max” → “Person1”), and in a context-deteriorating state (“Max” → “XXX”). Bayesian testing revealed that the NETANOS anonymization was practically equivalent to the human baseline anonymization.Conclusions: Named entity recognition can be applied to the anonymization of critical, identifiable information in text data. The proposed stepwise anonymization procedure provides a fully automated, fast system for text anonymization. NETANOS might be an important step to address researchers' dilemmas when sharing text data within the open science movement.

Social class and wise reasoning about interpersonal conflicts across regions, persons and situations
Authors: Brienza Justin Peter , Grossmann Igor
Published: July 2018

We propose that class is inversely related to a propensity of utilizing wise reasoning (recognizing limits of their knowledge, consider world in flux and change, acknowledge and integrate different perspectives) in interpersonal situations, contrary to established class advantages in abstract cognition. Two studies—an on-line survey from regions differing in economic affluence (N=2,145) and a representative in-lab study with stratified sampling of adults from working and middle-class backgrounds (N=299)—tested this proposition, indicating that higher social class consistently related to lower levels of wise reasoning across different levels of analysis, including regional and individual differences, and subjective construal of specific situations. The results held across personal and standardized hypothetical situations, across self-reported and observed wise reasoning, and when controlling for fluid and crystallized cognitive abilities. Consistent with an ecological framework, class differences in wise reasoning were specific to interpersonal (vs. societal) conflicts. These findings suggest that higher social class weighs individuals down by providing the ecological constraints that undermine wise reasoning about interpersonal affairs.
Beauty of Life in Dynamical Systems: An Aesthetic Viewpoint of Life
Authors: banerjee soumya
Published: July 2018

This submission emphasizes the beauty of mathematics and dynamical systems especially in questions around origin of life. Our conception of life is shaped by what we see around us on Earth. What life forms might we expect to see on alien planets? Would they be carbon-based like us or can they be even more exotic? Answering questions like these mean we must come up with an objective definition of life. We have previously hypothesized that an objective definition of life is that it should be capable of information processing.Our work also suggests that we may need an “aesthetic sense” to recognize life we have never seen before. Such aesthetic versions of life-like systems can be generated using the computational framework presented here. Our computational framework combines dynamical systems with deep learning to generate aesthetically appealing forms of life-like systems.

Untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran dan tanggung jawab masyarakat terhadap lingkungan, maka sekolah sebagai lembaga pendidikan merupakan tumpuan utama. Program-program pengembangan sekolah diharapkan agar lebih berwawasan lingkungan sehingga dapat membentuk karakter go green anak didik. Karakter go green merupakan watak dan perilaku cinta lingkungan yang dapat dilakukan melalui kegiatan pembelajaran yang terintegrasi dengan alam secara nyata. Mengingat kegiatan pendidikan buka saja terjadi pada lingkungan sekolah, maka lingkungan keluarga dan masyarakat sebagai lingkungan pendidikan lainnya harus juga dapat dioptimalkan perannya. Oleh karena itu, maka program-program sekolah harus dapat dilakukan secara terpadu dengan melibatkan lingkungan pendidikan keluarga dan masyarakat secara lebih baik melalui kegiatan-kegaiatan nyata di lingkungan alam. Dengan demikian maka karakter go green anak dapat dibentuk secara bersama-sama melalui keterpaduan program anatara program di lingkungan pendidikan formal, lingkungan pendidikan informal dan dan lingkungan nonformal.
IMPLEMENTASI ASAS-ASAS UMUM HUKUM KEBENDAAN DALAM UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 42 TAHUN 1999 TENTANG JAMINAN FIDUSIA
Authors: Tanjung Vivi Lia Falini
Published: July 2018

The fiduciary guarantee agency is very helpful for the smoothness of business managed by the debtor, because the goods used as security for the repayment of its debts remains in its power. Fiduciary guarantee is a part of the material law, so the principles of material law must be adopted in the legal rules of the fiduciary guarantee agency, which is currently regulated in Act No. 42/1999, but this law needs to be revised, especially in relation to the registration of fiduciary collateral, fiduciary execution and the possibility of whether or not fiduciary assets should be used as a fiduciary guarantee again.
Statistika Hospitalitas
Authors: Santosa
Published: July 2018

Bagi mahasiswa yang studi di bidang pariwisata ilmu statistik dipandang sebagai bagian yang tidak diminati, karena banyaknya angka, atau data kuantitatif yang bagi mereka membosankan. Mahasiswa pariwisata cenderung senang dengan ilmu-ilmu sosial yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial masyarakat yang berhubungan dengan fenomena hiburan dan budaya. Oleh sebab itu hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan angka sering dihindarkan. Paradigman itu tidak semuanya benar, sebagai seorang calon sarjana tentunya harus mampu mengkonstruksi berbagai fenomena sosial baik secara kualitatif maupun kuantitatif, oleh sebab itu peran statistik dalam dunia pariwisata perlu mendapatkan perhatian.Dengan senantiasa memanjatkan puji syukur ke hadirat Tuhan Yang Maha Esa penyusunan buku Statistika Hospitalitas dapat terselesaikan. Buku Statistik Hospitalitas ini penuh dengan kesederhanaan, karena gagasan penyusunan buku ini berawal dari diktat kuliah dan pengalaman penulis selama mengajar.Sesuai dengan judulnya, buku ini memberikan contoh-contoh soal dan kajian tentang statistik yang berorientasi pada masalah-masalah pariwisata, baik bidang perhotelan, destinasi wisata maupun bidang manajemen perjalanan wisata.

Published: July 2018

Rentang sejarah bioteknologi anaerob sangat panjang. Berbagai tipe raktor telah dibuat dan banyak yang gagal, tinggal namanya saja. Namun, banyak juga yang berhasil dan menjadi cikal perkembangan biotek anaerob selanjutnya. Awalnya, bioreaktor ini dianggap buruk kinerjanya. Lalu, pada awal tahun 1970-an, mulai ditemukan teknologi yang membuat proses anaerob mampu ditandingkan dengan proses aerob. Malah laju aplikasinya melesat di banyak negara. Sejumlah keunggulannya adalah hemat lahan, rendah timbulan sludge, dan penghasil energi listrik.

Ekosistem hutan mangrove merupakan salah satu ekosistem paling produktif dan unik yang berfungsi melindungi daerah pesisir dari berbagai gangguan, serta menyediakan habitat bagi berbagai spesies hewan. Hutan mangrove tidak saja berfungsi secara fisik, kimia dan biologis untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekosistemnya, tapi juga memiliki fungsi sosial, ekonomi dan budaya bagi masyarakat pesisir yang mendiaminya. Sebagai salah satu ekosistem yang paling produktif, hutan mangrove tidak terlepas dari pemanfaatan untuk kepentingan manusia. Laju pemanfaatan hutan mangrove akibat aktivitas antropogenik semakin meningkat yang menyebabkan degradasi berkepanjangan. Indonesia memiliki hutan mangrove terluas di dunia, dimana luasnya lebih dari 50% luas hutan mangrove Asia dan hampir 25% dari luas hutan mangrove dunia. Namun laju degradasi dan hilangnya hutan mangrove di Indonesia tergolong tinggi dimana pada 2 sampai 3 dekade ini hampir 50% dari total hutan mangrove di Indonesia telah hilang. Aktivitas antropogenik penyebab hilangnya hutan mangrove Indonesia antara lain adalah perikanan, perkebunan, pertanian, logging, industri, pemukiman, tambak garam dan pertambangan.
Robust Computer Algebra, Theorem Proving, and Oracle AI
Authors: Sarma Gopal P. , Hay Nick J.
Published: July 2018

In the context of superintelligent AI systems, the term “oracle” has two meanings. One refers to modular systems queried for domain-specific tasks. Another usage, referring to a class of systems which may be useful for addressing the value alignment and AI control problems, is a superintelligent AI system that only answers questions. The aim of this manuscript is to survey contemporary research problems related to oracles which align with long-term research goals of AI safety. We examine existing question answering systems and argue that their high degree of architectural heterogeneity makes them poor candidates for rigorous analysis as oracles. On the other hand, we identify computer algebra systems (CASs) as being primitive examples of domain-specific oracles for mathematics and argue that efforts to integrate computer algebra systems with theorem provers, systems which have largely been developed independent of one another, provide a concrete set of problems related to the notion of provable safety that has emerged in the AI safety community. We review approaches to interfacing CASs with theorem provers, describe well-defined architectural deficiencies that have been identified with CASs, and suggest possible lines of research and practical software projects for scientists interested in AI safety.

Trivial geometric heuristic for subset sum problem
Authors: U R
Published: July 2018

All exact algorithms for solving subset sum problem (SUBSET\_SUM) are exponential (brute force, branch and bound search, dynamic programming which is pseudo-polynomial). To find the approximate solutions both a classical greedy algorithm and its improved variety, and different approximation schemes are used.This paper is an attempt to build another greedy algorithm by transferring representation of analytic geometry to such an object of discrete structure as a set. Set of size $n$ is identified with $n$-dimensional space with Euclidean metric, the subset-sum is identified with (hyper)plane.
daycare-systematic-review-preprint
Authors: Harper Sam
Published: July 2018

Background: Research from high-income countries suggests that increasing the availability of daycare can improve economic outcomes for mothers, but similar research from low- and middle-income countries is lacking.Methods: We systematically searched databases of published and unpublished literature for studies that measured the impact of daycare provision on social, economic, and health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries without language or publication date restrictions. We synthesized the evidence using both narrative review and random effects meta-analysis.Results: We found 2073 studies and included 13 after applying our exclusion criteria. For a 30 percentage point increase in daycare utilization we estimate that maternal employment increased by 6 percentage points (95% confidence interval: 4 to 8), but we found considerable between-study heterogeneity and evidence of effect measure modification within studies. The impact on maternal earnings was mixed, and few studies assessed the impact of daycare on non-economic outcomes.Conclusions: We found moderate but heterogeneous evidence that interventions to increase access to formal daycare increase maternal labor force participation. Future studies would benefit from assessing the impact of daycare on non-economic outcomes and understanding the heterogeneity between studies.
