Aspects of a Watermark Solution
No full textAlthough watermarking is a relatively new technology, there are many ways of applying it on an electronic data set with the purpose of ensuring copyright integrity and authenticity of the electronic data. But, bearing in mind the evolution of information technology and of communication, a watermark may be the target of several attacks which aim at its robustness, its form and even at its removal. In order to reduce these threats, this paper proposes a solution - digital watermarking completed by a hash function which has an important role in the authenticity of the content of a message and in the security of the transmission of this message through computer networks which are the main support of collaborative systems.Digital Watermarking, Hash Functions, Digital Information Security, Collaborative Systems
Liberalism and Conservatism in the Writings of Aurel C. Popovici
No full textIn our study we wanted to analyze how the Romanian political activist and ideologist Aurel C. Popovici (1863-1917) perceived liberalism and conservatism, two of the most important ideologies of the nineteenth century. For this purpose, we studied three of his main writings: Principiul de naţionalitate (The Nationality Principle), Statele Unite ale Austriei Mari (The United States of Great Austria) and Naţionalism sau democraţie: o critică a civilizaţiunii moderne (Nationalism or Democracy: a Critical Approach to Modern Civilization). We studied the way in which the renowned Banatian author perceived liberalism, but also the way he percieved several main principles of this ideology: the defense of liberty, the sovereignty of the people, representative government, the refusal of absolutism and pluralism. By analyzing these topics in Aurel C. Popovici’s writings, we identified several paradoxes of his thinking, which we tried to explain by appealing to other sources, like personal letters or memoirs belonging to friends or admirers.
Rezumat: În studiul nostru am dorit să analizăm modul în care activistul politic şi ideologul român Aurel C. Popovici (1863-1917) a perceput liberalismul şi conservatorismul, două dintre cele mai importante ideologii ale secolului al XIX-lea. Astfel, am studiat trei dintre principalele sale scrieri: Principiul de naţionalitate, Statele Unite ale Austriei Mari şi Naţionalism sau democraţie: o critică a civilizaţiilor moderne. Am studiat modul în care renumitul autor bănăţean a perceput liberalismul, dar şi modul în care a realizat mai multe principii importante ale acestei ideologii: apărarea libertăţii, suveranitatea poporului, guvernarea reprezentativă, refuzul absolutismului şi pluralismul. Analizând aceste subiecte în scrierile lui Aurel C. Popovici, am identificat mai multe paradoxuri ale gândirii sale, pe care am încercat să le explicăm apelând la alte surse, precum scrisori personale sau memorii aparţinând prietenilor sau admiratorilor.

Fabule
No full textHere are short original verse (?) fables by a fascinating author who spanned pre and post war Romania and apparently wrote a confessional essay before his death about submitting too much to Communist state direction of how he should write, with resulting dishonesty about his characters. As an introduction, he asks in a brief poem "Why compete with Aesop? Until now you have written only comedies." He answers "Because in every fable there is a touch of tragedy." I tried a few, even though the Romanian here seems highly idiomatic. Is the moral to his "Moral Fable" (4) something like "If she will not have sex with you, at least gossip and criticize"? "Meditative Fable" (9) seems to have a philosophical mouse praising both prudence and experience . . . from his place in the cat's stomach. "Measure your success" another philosopher proclaims "by the length of your nose" (10). This philosopher is an elephant. I'd love to read these in English, or else I wish I could read Romanian! These seem to be witty fables! This is our eighth book in Romanian. Not illustrated. 190 pages, with a closing T of C. 5" x 7¾".Language note: RomanianAurel Barang
Analisis Penerapan Akuntansi Pada PT. Aurel Mandiri Sentosa
No full textThis research, which was conducted by the author at the company PT Aurel Mandiri Sentosa, aims to determine the suitability of the application of accounting in companies with generally accepted accounting principles. This research is qualitative research. The data taken are secondary and primary data with data collection techniques, namely interviews and documentation of data analysis techniques using descriptive methods. The result of this research is the recording of company transactions using the accrual basis. The Company does not pay attention to the time of acquisition of fixed assets and fixed assets whose useful lives have expired. The company also does not make reports on changes in capital, cash flow statements, and notes to financial statements. There is an error in the recording of land assets and there is an error in calculating the depreciation of fixed assets. The Company also does not provide allowance for doubtful accounts. So it can be concluded that PT Aurel Mandiri Sentosa has not fully implemented generally accepted accounting principles
Who Stole China's China? — The Legacy of Sir Aurel Stein
No full textThis thesis examines the historical legacy of Sir (Marc) Aurel Stein, an intrepid explorer,\ud
world-famous archaeologist, and prolific author. This thesis offers an explanation as to why a\ud
world-famous figure was all but ignored by historians and how the judgment of his fellow\ud
archaeologists and Orientalists, historians, and politicians led to his dwindling importance in\ud
historical memory. While active up to his death in Afghanistan in 1943, his most important (and famous) expeditions took place in Western China. Three of these four expeditions are discussed in the thesis, which examines Stein's impact on his fellow archaeologists, the perception of his\ud
activities at the time in the academic and popular presses, and his role in shaping the changing Chinese attitudes towards archaeology
A Fenomenologia do asco de Aurel Kolnai: contribuições para o esclarecimento fenomenológico dos afetos
No full textHistorically, the phenomenological movement was marked by a great variety of investigations directed to the elucidation of affectivity and of particular affective experiences. The first phenomenologists were responsible for a wide set of analyzes on the affective experiences. Many of these analyzes have been neglected and remain little discussed. Sharing the same conceptual and methodological positioning of these authors, we have Aurel Kolnai's work on the hostile feelings written in the 1930s. Thus, we aim to reconstitute Aurel Kolnai's phenomenological analysis of disgust present in his essay entitled "Disgust" from 1929. For this, we base ourselves on the systematic methodological procedures and criteria of the bibliographic research, starting from the analysis of the same text in two different translations. With this, we present a brief summary of the biographical and intellectual trajectory of the author and the different moments and specific analyzes contained in his essay, including: the delimitation of disgust and the possible points of view of analysis, the phenomenological analysis of anxiety and disgust, the kinds of physical and moral disgustingness, their relation to the senses, to life and death. We conclude that the phenomenological description of hostile feelings has utility and relevance for the scenario of fundamental debates related to the psychological related areas.Historicamente, o movimento fenomenológico esteve marcado por uma grande variedade de investigações dirigidas à elucidação da afetividade e de vivências afetivas particulares. Os primeiros fenomenólogos foram responsáveis por um conjunto amplo de análises sobre as vivências afetivas. Muitas dessas análises foram negligenciadas e continuam sendo pouco discutidas. Compartilhando o mesmo posicionamento conceitual e metodológico desses autores, temos o trabalho de Aurel Kolnai sobre os sentimentos hostis, escritos na década de 1930. Sendo assim, objetivamos reconstituir a análise fenomenológica do asco de Aurel Kolnai presente em seu ensaio denominado "O Asco" de 1929. Para isso, nos baseamos nos critérios e procedimentos metodológicos sistemáticos da pesquisa bibliográfica, partindo da análise do mesmo texto em duas traduções distintas. Com isso, apresentamos um breve resumo da trajetória biográfica e intelectual do autor e os diferentes momentos e análises específicas contidas em seu ensaio, incluindo: a delimitação do asco e seus possíveis pontos de vista de análise, a análise fenomenológica da angústia e do asco, os tipos de asqueriosidade física e moral, sua relação com os sentidos, com a vida e a morte. Concluímos que a descrição fenomenológica dos sentimentos hostis possui utilidade e relevância para o cenário de debates fundamentais ligado ao campo psi.Históricamente, el movimiento fenomenológico estuvo marcado por una gran variedad de investigaciones dirigidas a la elucidación de la afectividad y de las experiencias afectivas particulares.

Psychological effects and epistemological education through mathematics "abstraction" and "construction"
No full textThis study is part of a broader research which will be found in future work, Psychology and epistemology of mathematical creation, complementary work of experimental research psychology mathematics, whose investigative approach, promoting the combination type cross section paradigms and quantitative methods and qualitative and comparative method and the analytic-synthetic, based on the following idea: to make learning as efficient, contents and methods must be appropriate to the individual particularities of the pupils, a measure of the balance between converging and diverging dosing tasks as a promising opening to the transition from education proficiency in math performance. At this juncture, mathematical existence as ontological approach against the background of a history of "abstraction" mathematical and theoretical observations on the abstraction, realization and other mathematical thought processes, explanatory approach fulfills the context in which s mathematics constituted an important factor in psychological and methodological perspective, in a context of maximizing the educational effectiveness that depends on the quality of the methods used in teaching, focused on knowledge of the general principles of psycho-didactics not only mathematical and mental organization individual student or knowledge of the factors that make possible psycho-educational learning process
Psychopathological Processes Involved in Social Comparison, Depression, and Envy on Facebook
No full textIs Facebook utilization beneficial or detrimental for psychological well-being? I draw on outstanding research (e.g., Chou and Edge, 2012; Lin and Utz, 2015; Appel et al., 2016; Ehrenreich and Underwood, 2016; Vogel and Rose, 2016; Hu et al., 2017) to substantiate that examining other individuals’ positively presented material on Facebook may have detrimental consequences. Increasing comparisons on Facebook may generate feelings of envy, the latter being a significant process determining the effect of growing social comparison on psychological well-being. To date, there is an increasing body of literature investigating the psychological consequences of Facebook usage, the function of relationship closeness in producing the feelings of contentment and envy, the impacts of exposure to positive content on Facebook, the link between envy and depression on Facebook, and the function of tie strength in expecting the emotional results of browsing Facebook. I am specifically interested in how previous research explored the consequences of Facebook use on psychological outcomes, the moderating function of envy in the link between Facebook use and reduced affective wellbeing, the psychological results of non-interactive Facebook conduct, and the role of relationship closeness in anticipating user’s contentment and envy after inspecting a post. A synthesis of the extant literature suggests that inspecting other individuals’ positive news on Facebook brings about contentment through emotional contagion, whereas negative news causes discomfort as a consequence of mood contagion, the transmissible effect being more powerful when the news is associated with a strong tie. The outcomes of this research back the argument that self-confidence and dispositional envy are instrumental in producing Facebook envy. These findings highlight that the emotional results of browsing Facebook are considerably affected by the substance of the comment, the personal attributes of the Facebook user, and link between the reader and the poster. As limitations in the current review, more hypotheses need to be tested and future directions for subsequent multilevel research on the behavioral and cognitive outcomes of Facebook should illuminate why when individuals achieve belongingness demands on Facebook, they feel in a superior way about themselves and their reputation in social circles
