Dayal Kaur Khalsa: The art of remembering
Get PDFIn the space of three years in the late eighties, Dayal Kaur Khalsa wrote and illustrated a series of picture books that constitute a visual (auto)biography. In these books, Khalsa explores the meaning and reliability of memory, and the importance of family context in life history. By evoking popular culture and its artifacts in her illustrations, Khalsaprovides afully realised, time-specific world for her character May to inhabit. Furthermore, through the device of self- referential visual quotations, by means of which characters and settings reappear from book to book, Khalsa creates a form of "visual intertextuality" unique in the canon of Canadian picture books.Peer reviewedfinal article publishe
Rupi Kaur: Women’s Writing Tradition in Translation
Get PDFThis paper will present a brief background of the author, Rupi Kaur, and her artistic work, focusing in her poetry. The book approached is Honey and Milk, and it will be analysed though the feminist criticism theory of Elaine Showalter in order to discuss the poetry of Kaur in the context of the third phase of women’s writing. To achieve that, this paper will discuss some selected poetry and some details about the translation of the book to the Portuguese Brazilian language and the rewriting entailed in the process of translation
Determination and potential importance of diterpene (kaur-16-ene) emitted from dominant coniferous trees in Japan
Get PDFReactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to affect atmospheric chemistry. Biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) have a significant impact on regional air quality due to their large emission rates and high reactivities. Diterpenes (most particularly, kaur-16-ene) were detected in all of the 205 enclosure air samples collected over multiple seasons at two different sites from Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa trees, the dominant coniferous trees in Japan,. The emission rate of kaur-16-ene, was determined to be from 0.01 to 7.1 μg dwg^[-1] h^[-1] (average: 0.61 μg dwg^[-1] h^[-1]) employing branch enclosure measurements using adsorbent sampling followed by solid phase-liquid extraction techniques. The emission rate was comparable to that of monoterpenes, which is known major BVOC emissions, collected from the same branches. In addition, total emission of kaur-16-ene at 30℃ was estimated to exceed that of total anthropogenic VOC emissions
Anomaly based Botnet Detection using DNS Traffic Analysis
No full textPhD ThesisCybercrimes are evolving on a regular basis and these crimes are becoming a greater threat day by day. Earlier these threats were very general and unorganized. In the last decade, these attacks
have become highly sophisticated in nature. This higher level of coordination is possible mainly
due to Botnet which is a cluster of infected hosts controlled remotely by an attacker (Botmaster).
The number of infected machines is continuously rising thereby resulting in Botnets with many
of these having even over a million infected machines. This innumerous set of machines with
varied computational and storage capabilities give the botmaster a lethal weapon to launch
various security attacks. This never-ending menace of the botnet is causing many serious
problems on the Internet.
Domain Name System is a large-scale distributed database on the Internet, which is being
abused as a Botnet communication channel. Significant efforts have been made in detecting
botnet at the global level which relies heavily on finding failed queries and domain flux
information for botnet detection, there are very few efforts being made to detect bot infection
at an enterprise level. Detecting bot-infected machines are vital for any organization in
combating various security threats.
This research work proposes a novel anomaly-based detection technique which considers
captured DNS traffic from LAN hosts on hourly basis to generate DNS fingerprint and attempts
to find anomalous behavior which is quite different from normal machine behavior. This
research work successfully demonstrates the DNS Anomaly Detection (named BotDAD)
technique for detecting bot-infected machine in a network using DNS fingerprinting. It uses a
feature extractor module to extract DNS attributes and build a host profile for all hosts in the
network. The host profile is then parsed to generate DNS fingerprint. BotDAD creates DNS
fingerprint of each host in the network and uses anomaly detection engine to label them as bot
or clean. BotDAD uses a machine learning classifier to develop a trained model for future
predictions. The system is evaluated against DNS network traffic captured from TIET Patiala
campus on an hourly basis. The system was able to detect Bot infected machines in the network.
The domains used for C&C by these bots were validated against online DGA domains database.
Results from BotDAD gives an accuracy of 0.9978. To improve the accuracy of the BotDAD, a multi-layer neural network named DeepDAD was implemented. DeepDAD is a Deep
Learning based DNS Anomaly Detection tool created as part of this research which considers
multipoint anomaly detection and uses deep learning algorithms. Instead of relying on a single
point anomaly for labeling DNS fingerprint as malicious, an improved labeling technique which
uses multipoint anomaly detection is implemented. Two machine learning frameworks namely
Scikit-learn and TensorFlow were used to train and test the model showing significant
improvement over the results obtained using BotDAD. Finally, a graphical user interface for
easy testing and comparison is presented
A randomized control study comparing outcomes in student nurses who utilize video during simulation debriefing as compared to those who utilize traditional debriefing
No full textClinical placement sites for nursing students have become limited around the country. An alternative teaching strategy must be employed to allow for students to gain valuable knowledge and skills. High fidelity human patient simulation is one such strategy that allows students to safely practice nursing interventions in a controlled environment using a scenario. Students participate in groups and may be video recorded for replay during the debriefing session, the most essential learning element of the simulation session. Students watching a video recording of their participation in the scenario allow them to reflect on their own actions to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. The research question for this study was the following: what are the effects of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral debriefing on student outcomes (clinical judgment, self-confidence, learner satisfaction scores with simulation and learner satisfaction scores with the simulation facilitator) of associate degree nursing students in their second year of nursing school? A randomized control design was employed to test the research question using a sample of 74 students. Students were randomized into either a video assisted debriefing group and an oral assisted debriefing group. The debriefing sessions were structured for each group with the only difference being the video assisted debriefing group watched the recording of their videotaped simulation session. Results included higher self-reported clinical judgment, learner satisfaction scores with the simulation, and learner satisfaction with the debriefing facilitator. Findings from this study support the use of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral assisted debriefing after a simulation session. Debriefing should be a highly structured part of simulation allowing for students to learn and develop important cognitive and behavioral skills. Video debriefing is an important component of simulation that allows for improved student outcomes.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Tresa Kaur Dusa
Governing Global Science: Pandemic Preparedness and H5N1 Research on the International Stage
No full textabstract: The thesis examines the Indonesian claim of H5N1 viral sovereignty in 2006, and the mutant H5N1 papers controversy in 2011, to analyze the notion of science transcending national boundaries and novel conflicts with science operating on the international stage, specifically for H5N1 preparedness. This thesis argues how the symmetries between the Indonesian sovereignty case and the H5N1 papers controversy illustrate the locus of contention and uncertainty present in the international scientific space, specifically related to the ownership and governance of influenza pandemic preparedness materials and research. To achieve this, the thesis comparatively analyzes the two controversies to reveal the unsettledness in dimensions of both pandemic preparedness and international and transnational governance of science. This symmetrical analysis clarifies the unresolved issues of ownership, control, and accountability, which exist in the scientific international space. The deliberations of both case studies were framed so that the primary goal of the resolutions developed into maintaining scientific openness for public health benefit. With this method of deliberation taken, the significant and unique issues raised by these cases, in addition to the ownership questions that were allowing these controversies to gain prominence, were commonly left unaddressed. In doing so, the potential of the reemergence for similar controversies remains high
