Value engaged evaluation of a tourism specific disaster management plan

This research note provides an evaluation of tourism and Disaster Risk Reduction approaches within the context of Northland, New Zealand. A stakeholder driven evaluation approach that explicitly recognised multiple values was undertaken to evaluate the policy implementation process, benefits perceived, and improvement potentials. A mixed approach of consultation and interviews provided qualitative data for the analysis. The results show that tourism specific Visitor Action Plans increase disaster awareness and preparedness; however the extent depends on local leadership, ongoing communication and regular updates. Leadership is mainly provided by tourism stakeholders with a community value orientation, and to a lesser extent by those who are mainly business driven. Ongoing improvements in horizontal and vertical integrations, both within and between tourism and disaster management stakeholders, are critical for further policy developments.
Disaster Management in Coastal Tourism Destinations: The Case for Transactive Planning and Social Learning

Due to its intrinsic scenery, many tourism destinations are located in areas that are exposed to various natural hazards such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and high winds. In particular, coastal tourism presents numerous risks unique to the tourism sector due to differences in the type of vulnerabilities faced by tourists compared to other types of communities. Tourists are transient, may lack knowledge of local hazards, perceive risks differently, and may present various communication barriers. Physical mitigation may also be limited as local communities rely on the preservation of the area's natural assets. Research on the effects of disasters in tourism destinations have generally fallen into the categories of emergency management, which is focused on the preparedness and response phases, or solutions, adopting a structural engineering approach. Long term solutions that utilize non structural approaches have been acknowledged as vital towards mitigation in various literatures, but in reality, have been scarcely applied. As disasters can constitute a wicked rather than tame problem, long term solutions should include the input of multiple stakeholders striving towards a working solution that is constantly updated through feedback loops. Urban planning can provide such theoretical backgrounds that are missing from tourism planning studies, but have thus far, been limited to the needs of the permanent communities and not the transient community. This paper examines literature on disaster management planning in coastal destinations and bridges the gap between the fields of urban planning, disaster management and tourism planning, by suggesting the utilization of social learning to address disaster management gaps found in existing literature.
Towards a Design Space for Liquid User Interfaces
Venue: NordiCHI

In this paper, we present a framework for the user interface (UI) design of liquid UIs. These we define as UIs which utilize liquid, e.g. water, as a material for mediating the interaction or displaying information. Liquid UIs represent a novel type of tangible interface, which emphasizes experiental and aesthetic aspects. The framework defines design properties including the degree of contact with the liquid, liquid movement, the physical properties of the liquid and the containment mechanism.

Inflation and acceleration of the universe by nonlinear magnetic monopole fields

Despite impressive phenomenological success, cosmological models are incomplete without an understanding of what happened at the big bang singularity. Maxwell electrodynamics, considered as a source of the classical Einstein field equations, leads to the singular isotropic Friedmann solutions. In the context of Friedmann Robertson Walker (FRW) spacetime, we show that singular behavior does not occur for a class of nonlinear generalizations of the electromagnetic theory for strong fields. A new mathematical model is proposed for which the analytical nonsingular extension of FRW solutions is obtained by using the nonlinear magnetic monopole fields.
SAR data based Landmark Navigation for highly precise Vehicle Localization

This approach deals with a probabilistic state estimation method with the aid of landmarks in the context of autonomous driving and driver assistance systems. It is mandatory to get a precise ego position in order to operate vehicles throughout complex urban environments where global positioning methods like GPS provide only low position accuracies and low reliability. On board sensors like LiDAR are able to detect a wide range of objects in the surrounding of a vehicle. Static urban objects like streetlamps or traffic light posts with absolute coordinates could be a solution to improve stability on the localization of a vehicle. Modern remote sensing approaches like geodetic radar are able to extract certain features like pole shaped objects in an extensive and fast way. This work demonstrates the possibility of locating oneself within a landmark map based on a low cost LiDAR sensor. Monte Carlo localization enhances GPS positioning accuracy and was successfully applied on a test site.
Efectos del bienestar subjetivo y psicologico en los resultados terapeuticos de un hospital de dia

espanolAntecedentes. El bienestar es un constructo multidimensional que incluye el bienestar hedonico focalizado sobre la consecucion del placer y el bienestar eudaimonico como consecucion de los potenciales humanos. El principal objetivo del presente estudio fue comprobar si el nivel de bienestar de los pacientes al ingreso podia predecir la disminucion del nivel de psicopatologia al alta en un Hospital de Dia. Metodo. Se realizo estudio ex post facto prospectivo de 56 pacientes con trastorno mental grave que fueron ingresados en el Hospital de Dia utilizando la version en espanol de las escalas CORE OM (Evans et al. 2000) PANAS (Watson, Clark y Tellegen, 1988) SWLS (Pavot y Diener, 1993) y SPWB (Ryff, 1989) Resultados. Los pacientes al alta mejoraron significativamente en el nivel de psicopatologia. Ninguna subescala, tanto de bienestar hedonico como eudaimonico, predecia parte significativa de las variables de resultado medidas como malestar, sintomas psicopatologicos, disfuncion vital, riesgo de auto o heteroagresion ni tampoco una puntuacion total de todas las variables referidas. Solo el bienestar eudaimonico, en su puntuacion global, y no el bienestar hedonico, fue el que explico parte significativa de los resultados al alta.  La psicologia positiva a traves de la mejora del bienestar psicologico parece util para la reduccion de la psicopatologia en los pacientes con trastorno mental grave que son derivados al Hospital de Dia.  Well being is a multidimensional construct that includes the hedonic well being focused on the achievement of pleasure and eudaimonic well being as realization of human potentials. The main objective of this study was to determine whether the level of well being of patients on admission could predict the decreased level of psychopathology when are discharged in a Day Hospital.  Ex post facto prospective study of 56 patients was performed with severe mental illness who were admitted to the Day Hospital using the Spanish version of the CORE OM (Evans et al. 2000) PANAS (Watson et al. 1988) SWLS (Pavot y Diener, 1993) and SPWB (Ryff, 1989) scales.  Patients discharged significantly improved in level of psychopathology. None subscale, neither hedonic nor eudaimonic scales predicted significant part of the outcome variables measures such as malaise, psychopathological symptoms, vital dysfunction, risk of self or heteroaggression or a total score of all such variables. Only eudaimonic welfare in its overall score, not the hedonic well being, was the one who explained significant part of the results at discharge.  Positive psychology through improving psychological well being seems useful for reducing psychopathology in patients with severe mental disorders that are referred to the Day Hospital.

Peak Piloted Deep Network for Facial Expression Recognition
Venue: ECCV

Objective functions for training of deep networks for face related recognition tasks, such as facial expression recognition (FER) usually consider each sample independently. In this work, we present a novel peak piloted deep network (PPDN) that uses a sample with peak expression (easy sample) to supervise the intermediate feature responses for a sample of non peak expression (hard sample) of the same type and from the same subject. The expression evolving process from non peak expression to peak expression can thus be implicitly embedded in the network to achieve the invariance to expression intensities. A special purpose back propagation procedure, peak gradient suppression (PGS) is proposed for network training. It drives the intermediate layer feature responses of non peak expression samples towards those of the corresponding peak expression samples, while avoiding the inverse. This avoids degrading the recognition capability for samples of peak expression due to interference from their non peak expression counterparts. Extensive comparisons on two popular FER datasets, Oulu CASIA and CK+ demonstrate the superiority of the PPDN over state of the art FER methods, as well as the advantages of both the network structure and the optimization strategy. Moreover, it is shown that PPDN is a general architecture, extensible to other tasks by proper definition of peak and non peak samples. This is validated by experiments that show state of the art performance on pose invariant face recognition, using the Multi PIE dataset.
New rule based phishing detection method
Venue: Expert Syst. Appl.

We propose two feature sets to determine the webpage identity.Our proposed features do not have any dependency to 3rd party services.We proposed a rule based method by extracting the hidden knowledge from our model.We provide an extension called PhishDetector to detect phishing attacks.Experiments show that PhishDetector detects zero day phishing with high accuracy. In this paper, we present a new rule based method to detect phishing attacks in internet banking. Our rule based method used two novel feature sets, which have been proposed to determine the webpage identity. Our proposed feature sets include four features to evaluate the page resources identity, and four features to identify the access protocol of page resource elements. We used approximate string matching algorithms to determine the relationship between the content and the URL of a page in our first proposed feature set. Our proposed features are independent from third party services such as search engines result and/or web browser history. We employed support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to classify webpages. Our experiments indicate that the proposed model can detect phishing pages in internet banking with accuracy of 99.14% true positive and only 0.86% false negative alarm. Output of sensitivity analysis demonstrates the significant impact of our proposed features over traditional features. We extracted the hidden knowledge from the proposed SVM model by adopting a related method. We embedded the extracted rules into a browser extension named PhishDetector to make our proposed method more functional and easy to use. Evaluating of the implemented browser extension indicates that it can detect phishing attacks in internet banking with high accuracy and reliability. PhishDetector can detect zero day phishing attacks too.
Survey: Computational Sociolinguistics: A Survey
Venue: CL

Language is a social phenomenon and variation is inherent to its social nature. Recently, there has been a surge of interest within the computational linguistics (CL) community in the social dimension of language. In this article we present a survey of the emerging field of "computational sociolinguistics" that reflects this increased interest. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of CL research on sociolinguistic themes, featuring topics such as the relation between language and social identity, language use in social interaction, and multilingual communication. Moreover, we demonstrate the potential for synergy between the research communities involved, by showing how the large scale data driven methods that are widely used in CL can complement existing sociolinguistic studies, and how sociolinguistics can inform and challenge the methods and assumptions used in CL studies. We hope to convey the possible benefits of a closer collaboration between the two communities and conclude with a discussion of open challenges.
The Economics of Green Constitutions

Over the last decades, more and more countries have integrated environmental protection into their constitution. In this article, we argue that a simple economic model can explain why some countries have adopted the legal innovation of constitutional environmental protection, while others have not. Environmental protection can be thought of as an investment that only pays off over the long term, and may even imply intergenerational redistribution to the advantage of future generations. Moreover, the adoption of constitutional environmental protection leads to the provision of public goods, which redistributes resources among all members of a society. Taken together, these arguments imply that democratic states with a culture that favors future oriented behavior are more likely to entrench environmental protection in their constitution. We study the adoption of constitutional environmental protection in a panel dataset for 122 countries using semi parametric survival analysis techniques. Our results suggest that future oriented preferences are a robust determinant of a country's propensity to adopt a green constitution. Political institutions are less important and do not exert a statistically significant effect.
Video quality adaptation scheme for improving QoE in HTTP adaptive streaming
Venue: 2016 International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN)

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) adaptive streaming is easy to configure in existing Internet infrastructure. Also, it is typically granted traversal of firewalls and NAT (Network Address Translator) Because of these advantages, HTTP adaptive streaming has been the subject of much attention. However, because conventional video quality adaptation schemes based on bandwidth measurement are too aggressive to respond to short term network bandwidth variation, frequent changes of video quality occur. Also, because conventional schemes based on bandwidth measurement do not reflect buffer occupancy, buffer underflow that freezes playback occurs. Due to these problems, conventional schemes can hardly guarantee the appropriate level of QoE (Quality of Experience) in HTTP adaptive streaming. In this paper, we propose a client side video quality adaptation scheme for improving the QoE of HTTP adaptive streaming. To provide seamless and smooth video streaming, the proposed scheme adapts video quality by considering both network bandwidth variation and buffer occupancy of client. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in the ns 3 (Network Simulator 3) Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides a better QoE than conventional video quality adaptation schemes.
