Government cloud computing and the policies of data sovereignty
No full textGovernment cloud services are a new development at the intersection of electronic government and cloud computing which holds the promise of rendering government service delivery more effective and efficient. Cloud services are virtual, dynamic and potentially stateless which has triggered governments' concern about data sovereignty. This paper explores data sovereignty in relation to government cloud services and how national strategies and international policy evolve. It concludes that for countries data sovereignty presents a legal risk which can not be adequately addressed with technology or through contractual arrangements alone. Governments therefore adopt strategies to retain exclusive jurisdiction over government information. --cloud computing,electronic government,data sovereignty,data ownership,information assurance,international data transfers
Expressive and communicational properties of drawings in primary school
No full textCrtež je medij koji postavlja pitanja i stimulira odgovor. Svjedočimo kako su autori kroz
povijest putem crteža zapisivali, prenosili poruke, događaje, a naposljetku i izražavali vlastite
misli. Upotrebljavajući razne linije, krivulje, mrlje oslikavali su stanja, strahove, ali i ostale
prisutne emocije. Ono što povezuje svaki crtež, bilo da se radi o umjetničkom ili dječjem, upravo
je komunikacija koja se ostvaruje kroz djelo.
Dječji crtež ima svoja karakteristična obilježja s obzirom na dob, ali ono što razlikuje
svakoga od njih je vlastito viđenje svijeta i okoline koja ga okružuje. Putem crteža ono uči o sebi,
spoznaje svoje mogućnosti, usvaja i upotpunjuje svoj unutarnji svijet. Tijekom procesa školovanja
djeca usvajaju vještinu čitanja i pisanja, ali im je crtež najbliže sredstvo putem kojeg ostvaruju
komunikaciju s okolinom, a u istraživačkom dijelu rada se upravo istražuje zastupljenost crteža u
različitim nastavnim predmetima. U razrednoj nastavi on ima ključnu ulogu pri izražavanju i
prepoznavanju djetetovog unutarnjeg stanja. Naime, prilikom crtanja dijete reagira spontano i
nesvjesno te se uočavaju elementi koji su obično skriveni ili pripadaju potisnutim razinama
svijesti. Stoga, nije neuobičajeno da se crtež primjenjuje i kao pomoćna metoda u odgojno –
obrazovnim te terapijskim intervencijama.A drawing is a medium which asks questions and stimulates the answers. We are witnesses
to the fact that authors have, throughout history, written and passed on messages, events and,
finally, their own thoughts by means of drawings. Using various lines, curves and stains, they have
depicted various mental states, fears and other emotions that are present. What connects every
drawing, whether it's a work of art or a child's one, is the communication which is realized through
a certain piece.
A child's drawing has its distinctive features, which depend on the age of its author, but
what makes it different is their own worldview and understanding of the environment that
surrounds them. Through the act of drawing, children learn about themselves, they acknowledge
their possibilities, acquire and complete their inner world. During the schooling process, children
adopt the skills of reading and writing, but the drawing is the closest tool for communication with
the environment and the work researches the presence of drawing in various teaching subjects. In
classroom teaching, it has a key role in expressing and recognizing a child's inner state. In other
words, when a child draws, it reacts spontaneously and unconsciously, and the elements, which
are usually hidden or belong to the suppressed levels of consciousness, can be recognized.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for a drawing to be applied as an auxiliary method in educational
and therapeutic interventions
What Is the Future of European Cyber Security? Three Principles of European Cooperation and the Hybrid Joint Strategy of Cyber Defence
No full textThe author argues that EU member states should pursue a joint strategy of cyber security and cyber defence. This claim does not immediately imply support for current EU legislation, in particular for enforcing the NIS Directive or the operation of ENISA in its currently planned capacity. Instead, three principles of European cooperation are discussed and followed
by a proposal to centre the joint strategic effort around promoting and explicating the practical and procedural consequences of these principles. A bottom-up approach to joining and uniformization of European cyber defence is presented, aligned with the notion of Europeanization in security policy in the sense of E. Gross and R. Ladrech. This approach requires that European cyber security agencies, including ENISA, focus their efforts on addressing the trust defi cit among the member states through facilitating the environment for safe information exchange, instead of communicating with the member states through the medium of regulations and prescribing security standards. More generally, the author postulates that the European authorities embrace the inherent political character of international trust-building and aspire to the role of mediator, as opposed to presenting themselves as apolitical agents focused on the purely technical aspects of European cyber security
Perceptions of EFL Learners about Using an Online Tool for Vocabulary Learning in EFL Classrooms: A Pilot Project in Turkey
No full textAbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Quizlet, an online website, on vocabulary development of Turkish EFL learners enrolled in a preparatory program at a private university in Istanbul, Turkey. The participants were 43 preparatory students at the pre-intermediate and intermediate levels of proficiency. The study lasted for a whole teaching module consisting of 7 weeks. Within this process, for three weeks students studied and practiced the target words without using the online tool Quizlet. For the last four weeks students were weekly assigned with exercises from the online tool covering the units that they had learnt in the previous weeks. As for the data collection process, vocabulary quizzes were administered to the participants before and after the application of the treatment and the results were compared. Classroom observations, interviews and student records were also used so as to identify students⿿ perceptions of the online tool. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the students considered the online tool to be effective particularly at the initial stages of vocabulary learning considering L2 definitions, synonyms and pronunciation of the target words through repetition
Thermal Interface Material Characterization Under Thermo-mechanical Stress of Induced Angle of Tilt
No full textabstract: Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are extensively used in thermal management applications especially in the microelectronics industry. With the advancement in microprocessors design and speed, the thermal management is becoming more complex. With these advancements in microelectronics, there have been parallel advancements in thermal interface materials. Given the vast number of available TIM types, selection of the material for each specific application is crucial. Most of the metrologies currently available on the market are designed to qualify TIMs between two perfectly flat surfaces, mimicking an ideal scenario. However, in realistic applications parallel surfaces may not be the case. In this study, a unique characterization method is proposed to address the need for TIMs characterization between non-parallel surfaces. Two different metrologies are custom-designed and built to measure the impact of tilt angle on the performance of TIMs. The first metrology, Angular TIM Tester, is based on the ASTM D5470 standard with flexibility to perform characterization of the sample under induced tilt angle of the rods. The second metrology, Bare Die Tilting Metrology, is designed to validate the performance of TIM under induced tilt angle between the bare die and the cooling solution in an "in-situ" package testing format. Several types of off-the-shelf thermal interface materials were tested and the results are outlined in the study. Data were collected using both metrologies for all selected materials. It was found that small tilt angles, up to 0.6°, have an impact on thermal resistance of all materials especially for in-situ testing. In addition, resistance change between 0° and the selected tilt angle was found to be in close agreement between the two metrologies for paste-based materials and phase-change material. However, a clear difference in the thermal performance of the tested materials was observed between the two metrologies for the gap filler materials.Dissertation/ThesisM.S. Mechanical Engineering 201
From source to filter: changes in bacterial community composition during potable water treatment
No full textRural communities rely on surface water reservoirs for potable water. Effective removal of chemical contaminants and bacterial pathogens from these reservoirs requires an understanding of the bacterial community diversity that is present. In this study, we carried out a 16S rRNA-based profiling approach to describe the bacterial consortia in the raw surface water entering the water treatment plants of two rural communities. Our results show that source water is dominated by the Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Cyanobacteria with some evidence of seasonal effects altering the predominant groups at each location. A subsequent community analysis of sections through a biological carbon filter in the water treatment plant revealed a significant increase in the proportion of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Nitrospirae relative to raw water. Also, very few enteric coliforms were identified in either the source water or within the filter, although the abundance of Mycobacterium was high, and was found throughout the filter along with Aeromonas, Legionella, and Pseudomonas. This study provides valuable insight into bacterial community composition within drinking water treatment facilities, and the importance of implementing appropriate disinfection practices to ensure safe potable water for rural communities.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

The Security of Smart Cars: Toward Fingerprinting Vehicles
No full textabstract: Smart cars are defined by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) as systems providing connected, added-value features in order to enhance car users' experience or improve car safety. Because of their extra features, smart cars utilize sophisticated computer systems. These systems, particularly the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus and protocol, have been shown to provide information that can be used to accurately identify individual Electronic Control Units (ECUs) within a car and the driver that is operating a car. I expand upon this work to consider how information from in-vehicle computer systems can be used to identify individual vehicles. I consider fingerprinting vehicles as a means of aiding in stolen car recovery, thwarting VIN forgery, and supporting an intrusion detection system for networks of smart and autonomous vehicles in the near future. I provide an overview of in-vehicle computer systems and detail my work toward building an ECU testbed and fingerprinting vehicles
