NTP Security by Delay-based Detection in Intelligent Defense Systems
No full textNowadays, computer equipment has hardware or software clocks to which they refer to time stamp files, transactions and emails. The design of a quartz oscillator, such as clocks drift functions like ordinary watches that do not perfectly match. Therefore, it needs networked machines sharing common resources. For instance, UNIX makes command updates key files ensuring that files on which it depends exist and are up-to-date. Also, correlating log messages from several systems becomes very difficult if it does not occur at the same time. This paper focuses mainly on how to detect attacks, trying to predict attacks based on delays caused by this equipment. A server is configured using NTP protocol whose main target is to be implemented in UNIX system, to see how the NTP server is managed with the powerful package Chrony for Ubuntu. The examined results via Python reveal that clients neither will be nor able to make final decisions just after negotiating with servers in several attempts, before or after accepting their clock
Design and Development of Android Based Speed Limit Warning Application
No full textSpeeding remains a common practice on many roads, leading to a significant number of crashes. There are a number of traditional and well-proven measures to improve the speed limit compliance and reduce driving speeds, which consist of infrastructural measures and speed enforcement in particular. In this development, by using an android device, the application continuously provides a visual information about the speed limit in force. In the case of a driver exceeds the speed limit, the application warns the driver visually where the speed limit indicates on the screen of the smartphone and starts to flash. If the speed is not reduced, an alarm is triggered and a message will be sent to a registered contact
The Impact of Talent Management Strategies on Employee Performance: A Review
Full text linkThe increasingly complexity and volatile environment of the current business context due to the advancement in technology and changes of workforce demographics have increased the need for organizations to identify, recruit and retain their talented employees. Talent management strategies become a priority for all organizations to ensure their competitive advantage. Recognizing its importance, an extensive research on talent management has been conducted by researchers, covering different emphasis. This paper aims to provide a review of research related to talent management and job performance. Drawn from an analysis of 20 related studies, several research gaps are identified, and these research gaps relate to the diversified perspectives and conceptualisation of talent management, the underpinning theories and the contexts and industrial sectors of research in talent management and the constructs and their relationships investigated in research of talent management. These findings are valuable for researchers to embark in future research on the impact of talent management strategies and job performance.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY POLICY AS A DRIVER FOR SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY IN MALACCA
Full text linkABSTRACT Melaka is known as the most historic state and is also a popular tourist destination in Malaysia. With the legacy of old buildings by past occupiers such as A Famosa, Christ Church, St. Paul's Building and others recognize Melaka being one of the World Heritage States. Along time ago, the title of "Sleeping Hollow" state have been called for the slow economic situation and development conditions. Year 2000 to 2010 has shown a lot of environmental development and progress has been made, making Malacca eligible to be developed as a developed state in 2010. Next, Melaka continues to drive development opportunities to achieve green state urban status. The great expectation of the success of the mission is based on the needs of development in line with the will of the state government as well as the whole society. Researchers use qualitative methods where research on the documentation of official government materials as well as the search of information sources from journal articles, books and online data as the main reference. The findings have shown that the mission and strategy of development implementation are indispensable to continue to drive the state's development for the sake of sustainability of the development itself. This study is also expected to contribute to clarifying the importance of green technology in driving the development of Melaka state now and beyond. Keywords: Green Technology, Policy Guideline and Future Developmen

AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL, PROACTIVE PERSONALITY, WORK ENGAGEMENT AND JOB PERFORMANCE
Full text linkAbstract. The workplace is increasingly becoming a setting where continued existence requires an above-average performance of the employees. A competitive advantage can no longer be obtained simply by increasing widespread technologies. By the same way, success can no longer be obtained by merely attempting to correct flaws of human resources. The pre-requisite of today’s workplace is to understand the importance of human strengths rather than focusing on “fixing the flaws” paradigm. Therefore, the prime objective of this research is to propose an integrative model to study the impact of the positive strengths of employees on job performance. The present study used two different research approaches to get maximum possible relevant studies related to positive organizational behaviour criteria. First, electronic databases and secondly indexed journals related to psychology, human resource management and organisational behaviour. An integrative model has been proposed linking emotional intelligence, psychological capital, and proactive personality to job performance via work engagement. The research argues that human strengths such as emotional intelligence, psychological capital, proactive personality, and work engagement are essential factors that can play a significant role in enhancing job performance of the employees. Based on JDR perspective, coupled with the positive organizational behaviour theory, the researchers propose a novel framework pertinent to the banking sector of Pakistan. The conceptual framework has not yet been tested empirically. Hence, future studies are necessary to empirically test the framework using survey.
