Presentation Title: The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL): Combatting the Challenge of Postmodern Islamic Terrorism
Abstract: This 38-page white paper examines the causes behind the terrorist group ISIL and ultimately recommends a comprehensive policy to destroy the group and eliminate chances of its revival. The author reviews the history of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the unraveling of Syria during its civil conflict. ISIL’s rise, tactics and its manifestation as a group that actively holds territory is discussed. A literature review then analyzes three case studies of terrorism – the Irish Republican Army, the Tamil Tigers, and Hamas. Three policies are offered as possible courses of U.S. action to destroy ISIL. The author ultimately recommends a policy that calls for full-scale humanitarian and armed intervention in both Iraq and Syria to provide safe haven to refugees, force an end to the Syrian civil war and construct a functioning Iraqi state. The author concludes that resolving the conflicts in these failed states is necessary to comprehensively destroy ISIL
Finding typing compiler bugs
No full textWe propose a testing framework for validating static typing procedures in compilers. Our core component is a program generator suitably crafted for producing programs that are likely to trigger typing compiler bugs. One of our main contributions is that our program generator gives rise to transformation-based compiler testing for finding typing bugs. We present two novel approaches (type erasure mutation and type overwriting mutation) that apply targeted transformations to an input program to reveal type inference and soundness compiler bugs respectively. Both approaches are guided by an intra-procedural type inference analysis used to capture type information flow. We implement our techniques as a tool, which we call Hephaestus. The extensibility of Hephaestus enables us to test the compilers of three popular JVM languages: Java, Kotlin, and Groovy. Within nine months of testing, we have found 156 bugs (137 confirmed and 85 fixed) with diverse manifestations and root causes in all the examined compilers. Most of the discovered bugs lie in the heart of many critical components related to static typing, such as type inference.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Software Engineerin
Analisis Wacana Kritis Sara Mills pada Lirik Lagu Wanita Karya Upiak Isil
No full textThis research aims to find out the representation of emancipation in the lyrics of the song Wanita Upiak Isil. This research uses qualitative method with Sara Mills critical discourse study. The data source in this research is the lyrics of the song Wanita Upiak Isil. The data source comes from the spotify site and video clips on the youtube channel. Data in the form of song lyrics are analyzed using Sara Mills' perspective. The data collection technique uses the technique of simak catat. The results of the research on the representation of emancipation in the lyrics of the song Wanita Upiak Isil found the position as subject-object more than the position of the reader. The most subjects are women and the least subjects are husbands (men). The most subjects represent the lives of married women. Women experience many demands but are often not given equal rights. Meanwhile, the overall object of the couplet is more forms of independence. Other objects represent a woman's skill in working. The position of the reader is found in the form of greeting “ma'am” used by the author to address the reader or listener of the song.ABSTRAK
Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui representasi emansipasi dalam lirik lagu Wanita Upiak Isil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan wacana kritis Sara Mills. Sumber datanya berupa lirik lagu Wanita Upiak Isil. Data tersebut diperoleh melalui platform digital Spotify dan YouTube. Data berupa lirik lagu dianalisis menggunakan perspektif Sara Mills. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik simak catat. Hasil penelitian ditemukan posisi subjek- objek, di antaranya subjek ialah wanita, objek ialah laki-laki (suami) dan posisi pembaca berupa interaksi subjek dengan pembaca dalam bentuk sapaan “Bu” yang digunakan penulis untuk menyapa pendengar atau pembaca. Sementara representasikan emansipasi wanita yang ditampilkan dalam teks berupa kesetaraan gender dalam hal ini kehidupan kaum wanita yang sudah menikah. Wanita mengalami banyak tuntutan namun sering tidak diberikan hak yang seimbang digambarkan dengan pemarkah berupa bentuk kata frasa maupun klausa seperti; wanita harus mapan, wanita harus kerja, punya uang saku bisa beli apa saja, tidak perlu minta-minta, harus bekerja.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to analyze the values of the struggle of the The purpose of this research is to find out the representation of emancipation in the lyrics of the song Wanita Upiak Isil. This research uses the qualitative method with Sara Mills critical discourse approach. The data source is the lyrics of the song Wanita Upiak Isil. The data was obtained through digital platforms spotify and YouTube. The data in the form of song lyrics were analyzed using Sara Mills' perspective. The data collection technique used listening and note-taking techniques. The results of the study found the position of the subject-object, including the subject is a wanita, the object is a man (husband) and the position of the reader in the form of subject interaction with the reader in the form of greetings Bu used by the author to address the listener or reader. While the representation of women's emancipation displayed in the text is in the form of gender equality in this case the lives of married women. Women experience many demands but are often not given equal rights, described by markers in the form of words phrases and clauses such as; Wanita harus mapan, Wanita harus kerja, punya uang saku bisa beli apa saja, tidak perlu minta-minta, harus bekerja.

No full textWARio: efficient code generation for intermittent computing
No full textIntermittently operating embedded computing platforms powered by energy harvesting require software frameworks to protect from errors caused by Write After Read (WAR) dependencies. A powerful method of code protection for systems with non-volatile main memory utilizes compiler analysis to insert a checkpoint inside each WAR violation in the code. However, such software frameworks are oblivious to the code structure - -and therefore, inefficient - -when many consecutive WAR violations exist. Our insight is that by transforming the input code, i.e., moving individual write operations from unique WARs close to each other, we can significantly reduce the number of checkpoints. This idea is the foundation for WARio: a set of compiler transformations for efficient code generation for intermittent computing. WARio, on average, reduces checkpoint overhead by 58%, and up to 88%, compared to the state of the art across various benchmarks.Embedded System
