Published: December 2020

Abstract
Remote and automatic monitoring of two Apis Cerana bee colonies was conducted in Indonesia to demonstrate precision beekeeping approach in that region. Successful implementation of the precision beekeeping system includes development of the bee colony monitoring hardware and software for data collection, analysis and visualisation. This paper focuses on development and installation of such systems at the private apiary in Indonesia. For bee colony monitoring at the apiary a developed monitoring unit was used, which is based on ESP microchip, and for the data storage SAMS data warehouse was used. The monitoring results showed that the choice of the location of the temperature sensor is important, as the temperature at the hive sides changes synchronously with the outside temperature. Also, feedback from the beekeeper is collected to further improve the system and monitoring process. This research is conducted within the SAMS – Smart Apiculture Management Services project, which is funded by the European Union within the H2020-ICT-39-2016-2017 call and with close collaboration with the local private beekeeper.

Unveiling Web Fingerprinting in the Wild Via Code Mining and Machine Learning
Authors: Rizzo Valentino , Traverso Stefano , Mellia Marco 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Fueled by advertising companies’ need of accurately tracking users and their online habits, web fingerprinting practice has grown in recent years, with severe implications for users’ privacy. In this paper, we design, engineer and evaluate a methodology which combines the analysis of JavaScript code and machine learning for the automatic detection of web fingerprinters.
We apply our methodology on a dataset of more than 400, 000 JavaScript files accessed by about 1, 000 volunteers during a one-month long experiment to observe adoption of fingerprinting in a real scenario. We compare approaches based on both static and dynamic code analysis to automatically detect fingerprinters and show they provide different angles complementing each other. This demonstrates that studies based on either static or dynamic code analysis provide partial view on actual fingerprinting usage in the web. To the best of our knowledge we are the first to perform this comparison with respect to fingerprinting.
Our approach achieves 94% accuracy in small decision time. With this we spot more than 840 fingerprinting services, of which 695 are unknown to popular tracker blockers. These include new actual trackers as well as services which use fingerprinting for purposes other than tracking, such as anti-fraud and bot recognition.
Secure training of decision trees with continuous attributes
Authors: Abspoel Mark , Escudero Daniel , Volgushev Nikolaj 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We apply multiparty computation (MPC) techniques to show, given a database that is secret-shared among multiple mutually distrustful parties, how the parties may obliviously construct a decision tree based on the secret data. We consider data with continuous attributes (i.e., coming from a large domain), and develop a secure version of a learning algorithm similar to the C4.5 or CART algorithms. Previous MPC-based work only focused on decision tree learning with discrete attributes (De Hoogh et al. 2014). Our starting point is to apply an existing generic MPC protocol to a standard decision tree learning algorithm, which we then optimize in several ways. We exploit the fact that even if we allow the data to have continuous values, which a priori might require fixed or floating point representations, the output of the tree learning algorithm only depends on the relative ordering of the data. By obliviously sorting the data we reduce the number of comparisons needed per node to O(N log2
N) from the naive O(N
2), where N is the number of training records in the dataset, thus making the algorithm feasible for larger datasets. This does however introduce a problem when duplicate values occur in the dataset, but we manage to overcome this problem with a relatively cheap subprotocol. We show a procedure to convert a sorting network into a permutation network of smaller complexity, resulting in a round complexity of O(log N) per layer in the tree. We implement our algorithm in the MP-SPDZ framework and benchmark our implementation for both passive and active three-party computation using arithmetic modulo 264. We apply our implementation to a large scale medical dataset of ≈ 290 000 rows using random forests, and thus demonstrate practical feasibility of using MPC for privacy-preserving machine learning based on decision trees for large datasets.
The Implications of Using Stereotypes
Authors: Man Gabriela-Maria 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The term stereotype was first used around a century ago, but its meaning and implications are relevant today due to an increase in group diversity and interactions. Stereotypes are simplistic and generalized beliefs about group members that can have negative consequences. This article reviews some of the evidence relating to two of the most common implications of stereotypes; discrimination and changes in cognitive and physical performance related with stereotype threat. The findings from this article may be helpful for human resource (HR) specialists, professors, health related specialists and those engaged in evaluation activities.

Quantitative electroencephalography as a tool for objective neurophysiological seizure diagnosis: A retrospective study
Authors: Kumar Rajesh , Kumar Tribhuwan , Jha Kamlesh , Kumar Yogesh 
Published: December 2020

Objectives:
Seizure is the fourth most common neurological disorder in the world; it affects all age groups with equal possibility of occurrence in both males and females. Many antiepileptic drugs are available today, but its diagnosis is challenging. The present study attempted to see if seizure activities could be predicted by analyzing the pre-seizure electrical activities. The prediction may help in taking preventive measures appropriately beforehand in the individuals with seizure proneness.

Material and Methods:
We selected 11 generalized seizure patients and 19 control patients out of total 115 patients referred for electro-diagnostics for various reasons. EEG of the subjects recorded, segmented as per protocol, and analyzed using MATLAB and EEGLAB tools.

Results:
The mean energy level in alpha and beta band of the study subject was significantly lower (P = 0.04 and 0.004, respectively) as compared to the age matched control subjects. Theta and delta bands did not show any significant difference between the groups. The difference between the pre- and post-electrical seizure energy and entropy was statistically insignificant.

Conclusion:
The study shows that the energy level remains low in the seizure patients in the alpha and beta bands. This further goes down when electrophysiological seizure activities starts. The randomness or entropy does not alter significantly among the seizure subjects in comparison to non-seizure subjects.

Published: December 2020

Автором исследуется гносеология форм вины в зависимости от степени общественной опасности, делается вывод о том, что признание административным законодательством виновности свойством всех административных правонарушений имеет исключительно важный смысл, так как способствует точному соблюдению принципов социальной справедливости, дальнейшему укреплению законности в стане и отвечает не только требованиям последующего развития административного права, но и нуждам правоприменительной практики административно-юрисдикционной деятельности. Одним из обязательных юридических признаков понятия административного правонарушения является и наказуемость деяния, так как в действующем КоАП РФ применяется как термин «наказание», так и «взыскание». Автор разграничивает данные понятия, делает вывод о том, что наказуемость является одним из необходимых признаков понятия административного проступка, поскольку без административного правонарушения не возможно наказание, точно так же как без причины нет следствия.
The author examines the ontology of forms of guilt depending on the degree of public danger, concludes that the recognition by administrative legislation of guilt as a property of all administrative offenses has an extremely important meaning, as it contributes to the exact observance of the principles of social justice, further strengthening the rule of law in the camp and meets not only the requirements the subsequent development of administrative law, but also the needs of law enforcement practice of administrative jurisdictional activity awns. One of the mandatory legal features of the concept of an administrative offense is the punishability of the act, since the term «punishment» and «foreclosure» are used in the current Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the author delimits these concepts, concludes that punishability is one of the necessary features of the concept of administrative misconduct, since without an administrative offense punishment is not possible, just as without a reason there is no investigation.

Authors: Risqi Ratna Aprillia , Ekalestari Susi 
Published: December 2020

The research focuses on the influence of parenting style on the protagonist’s behavior in Todd Phillips’ movie Joker. Arthur as the protagonist in the movie is a man who suffers from mental illness which then transforms him to be a mastermind of criminal because of parenting mistake. The theory adopted in this research is proposed by Baumrind, who classifies parenting style into four broad categories: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and neglectful styles. This research adopts descriptive qualitative method and the data are collected from the movie script. The finding reveals that authoritarian and neglectful parenting styles lead a person to become rebellious, adopting problematic behavior and mastermind of criminal and disregarded by a society. The worst effect of parenting mistakes is that the protagonist transforms himself to be a psychopath.

Authors: Kostylev P. I. , Krasnova E. V. , Aksenov A. V. , Lamo J. 
Published: December 2020

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. The development of new rice varieties requires a thorough study and involvement of gene pool from different countries in breeding work. The purpose of the current study was to conduct a mutual ecological testing of the rice varieties in the Rostov region of Russia (FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”) such as ‘Akustik’, ‘Aromatik 1’, ‘Aromatny’, ‘Kuboyar’, ‘Yuzhanin’ and the Ugandan (NaCRRI) ‘Nerica 1’, ‘Nerica 4’, ‘Komboka’, ‘Wita 9’. These samples have shown a wide range of resistance to blast and other diseases. The research was carried out in the Proletarsky district of the Rostov region. As a result, the rice varieties were studied for a number of important economic and biological traits. The growing season from sowing to ripening was 131–139 days for two varieties ‘Nerica 1’ and ‘Nerica 4’ under the conditions of the Rostov region, and 110 days for the standard variety ‘Komandor’. The other two varieties ‘Komboka’ and ‘Wita 9’ were very late maturing and did not bloom. All samples had a modern low-growing plant habit with upright rigid leaves and long drooping panicles (17–23 cm). Plant height of the Ugandan varieties ranged from 70 to 90 cm. The grains were elongated with 29–31 mg of weight. Number of spikelets per panicle was 85 and 200, respectively. The varieties ‘Nerica 1’ and ‘Nerica 4’ were used in hybridization with the Russian varieties ‘Kontakt’ and ‘Boyarin’. The preliminary study of Russian rice varieties in Uganda showed that RU 105 (‘Aromatny’) and RU 101 (‘Aromatik 1’) were resistant to rice yellow spot virus (‘RYMV’), blast and brown leaf spot. The varieties were selected for further study in the conditions of Uganda.
Infrared Light Emission From Semiconductor Devices

Published: December 2020

Abstract
We present results using near-infrared (NIR) cameras to study emission. characteristics of common defect classes for integrated circuits (ICs). The cameras are based on a liquid nitrogen cooled HgCdTe imaging array with high quantum efficiency and very low read noise. The array was developed for infrared astronomy and has high quantum efficiency in the wavelength range from 0.8 to 2.5 µm. For comparison, the same set of samples used to characterize the performance of the NIR camera were studied using a non-intensified, liquidnitrogen- cooled, slow scan CCD camera (with a spectral range from 400-1100 nm). Our results show that the NIR camera images all of the defect classes studied here with much shorter integration times than the cooled CCD, suggesting that photon emission beyond 1 µm is significantly stronger than at shorter wavelengths.
Golden Devices II: Alchemy in the 0.35μm Era
Authors: Van Doorselaer K. , Young R. , Dawes N. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The paper describes the approach that was developed to cope with the specific difficulties encountered with FIB circuit modification on the 0.5 and 0.35um technologies from a multitude of silicon vendors. This approach involves adaptations in FIB hardware (insulator deposition), software (image alignment), design practice (alignment marks, spare parts, routing recommendations) and FIB practice (procedure for node localisation and contacting, via drill and fill). The latter seems to be a major factor limiting FIB circuit repair feasibility: although it is perfectly feasible to drill deep and small vias (e.g. between minimum spacing overlying metallization), it is not evident to reproducibly fill such holes and obtain a good and reliable via resistance. This limits the minimum size of FIB vias to deep circuit nodes. The developed total approach enables to continue the use of FIB for circuit repair on the new generations of processes, with all the well-known benefits w.r.t. cost savings and Time-To-Market.
Application of Photoemission Microscopy and Focused Ion Beam Microsurgery to an Investigation of Latchup
Authors: Mayer D.C. , Ferro R.J. , Leung D.L. , Dooley M.A. , Scarpulla J.R. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Radiation-induced latchup sites in a high-performance commercial application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) manufactured in a bipolar gate array have been identified using a photoemission (PE) microscope before and after isolating individual circuit elements with a focused ion beam (FIB) system. Latchup sites were determined to be associated with grounded unused resistors and transistors in an emitter-coupled logic (ECL) input buffer. Simulation of the oxide isolation scheme confirmed the presence of pnpn structures at the likely latchup sites. A corrective action to redesign the layouts to disconnect unused resistors and transistors resulted in successful elimination of latchup in the ECL buffers.

Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe the damage caused by machine model (MM) electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing on the ESD protection circuitry of input pins stressed with different ESD voltages. Contact damage was observed in the n-well resistor of the ESD protection circuitry. TEM results of various cross-sections show the formation of a silicon melt beneath the contacts of the n-well resistor. Junction spiking was also observed on some of the stressed devices.
Failure Analysis of Flip-Chip Interconnections Through Acoustic Microscopy
Authors: Diaz de Leon O. , Nassirian M. , Todd C. , Chowdhury R. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Integration of circuits on semiconductor devices with resulting increase in pin counts is driving the need for improvements in packaging for functionality and reliability. One solution to this demand is the Flip- Chip concept in Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) applications [1]. The flip-chip technology is based on the direct attach principle of die to substrate interconnection.. The absence of bondwires clearly enables packages to become more slim and compact, and also provides higher pin counts and higher-speeds [2]. However, due to its construction, with inherent hidden structures the Flip-Chip technology presents a challenge for non-destructive Failure Analysis (F/A). The scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) has recently emerged as a valuable evaluation tool for this purpose [3]. C-mode scanning acoustic microscope (C-SAM), has the ability to demonstrate non-destructive package analysis while imaging the internal features of this package. Ultrasonic waves are very sensitive, particularly when they encounter density variations at surfaces, e.g. variations such as voids or delaminations similar to air gaps. These two anomalies are common to flip-chips. The primary issue with this package technology is the non-uniformity of the die attach through solder ball joints and epoxy underfill. The ball joints also present defects as open contacts, voids or cracks. In our acoustic microscopy study packages with known defects are considered. It includes C-SCAN analysis giving top views at a particular package interface and a B-SCAN analysis that provides cross-sectional views at a desired point of interest. The cross-section analysis capability gives confidence to the failure analyst in obtaining information from a failing area without physically sectioning the sample and destroying its electrical integrity. Our results presented here prove that appropriate selection of acoustic scanning modes and frequency parameters leads to good reliable correlation between the physical defects in the devices and the information given by the acoustic microscope.
