Chinese state media persuades a global audience that the “China model” is superior: Evidence from a 19‐country experiment

AbstractMany are skeptical of the appeal of authoritarian political systems. We argue that global audiences will embrace authoritarian models when they believe that autocracies can meet governance challenges better than democracies. We collect comprehensive data on the external messaging of the Chinese and American governments. We then conduct a randomized experiment in 19 countries across six continents exposing global citizens to real messages from the Chinese and American governments’ external media arms. We find that exposure to a representative set of Chinese messages strengthens perceptions that the Chinese Communist Party delivers growth, stability, and competent leadership. It also moves the average respondent from slightly preferring the American model to slightly preferring the Chinese model. In head‐to‐head matchups, messages from the US government are less persuasive. Our findings show how autocracies build global support by selling growth and competence, with important implications for democratic resilience.

The performance of selected high-frequency trading proxies: An application on Turkish index futures market

This paper intends to provide evidence for how well high-frequency trading (HFT) proxies capture low-latency activity in rarely explored futures markets. We first run suggested identification algorithms using tick-by-tick order and trade message data to derive models’ HFT estimates. Contrasting these with Exchange-provided classification tags (considered as real HFT messages), we interpret the soundness and consistency of these proxies with regard to various reference metrics through an empirical mindset. Our results suggest that certain proxies track low-latency behavior better than others affirming their given credits of reliable HFT identifiers in practice.

Multilevel Information Encryption Based on Thermochromic Perovskite Microcapsules via Orthogonal Photic and Thermal Stimuli Responses.

Increasing modal variations of stimulus-responsive materials ensure the high capacity and confidentiality of information storage and encryption systems that are crucial to information security. Herein, thermochromic perovskite microcapsules (TPMs) with dual-variable and quadruple-modal reversible properties are designed and prepared on the original oil-in-fluorine (O/F) emulsion system. The TPMs respond to the orthogonal variations of external UV and thermal stimuli in four reversible switchable modes and exhibit excellent thermal, air, and water stability due to the protection of perovskites by the core-shell structure. Benefiting from the high-density information storage TPMs, multiple information encryptions and decryptions are demonstrated. Moreover, a set of devices are assembled for a multilevel information encryption system. By taking advantage of TPMs as a "private key" for decryption, the signal can be identified as the corresponding binary ASCII code and converted to the real message. The results demonstrate a breakthrough in high-density information storage materials as well as a multilevel information encryption system based on switchable quadruple-modal TPMs.

Superdeterminism without Conspiracy

Superdeterminism—where the Measurement Independence assumption in Bell’s Theorem is violated—is frequently assumed to imply implausibly conspiratorial correlations between properties λ of particles being measured and measurement settings x and y. But it does not have to be so: a superdeterministic but non-conspiratorial locally causal model is developed where each pair of entangled particles has unique λ. The model is based on a specific but arbitrarily fine discretisation of complex Hilbert space, where λ defines the information, over and above the freely chosen nominal settings x and y, which fixes the exact measurement settings X and Y of a run of a Bell experiment. Pearlean interventions, needed to assess whether x and y are Bell-type free variables, are shown to be inconsistent with rational-number constraints on the discretised Hilbert states. These constraints limit the post-hoc freedom to vary x keeping λ and y fixed but disappear with any coarse-graining of λ, X, and Y, rendering so-called drug-trial conspiracies irrelevant. Points in the discretised space can be realised as ensembles of symbolically labelled deterministic trajectories on an ‘all-at-once’ fractal attractor. It is shown how quantum mechanics might be ‘gloriously explained and derived’ as the singular continuum limit of the discretisation of Hilbert space. It is argued that the real message behind Bell’s Theorem has less to do with locality, realism, or freedom to choose, and more to do with the need to develop more explicitly holistic theories when attempting to synthesise quantum and gravitational physics.

Wireless Smart Notice Board Using Dot Matrix

Abstract: Whether a firm is for profit or not, the information sharing component of information technology is a major factor in all types of businesses. Nowadays, all company models depend on and use the capacity of advertising to market their goods and services. The present demand of the modern business and information world is for digital advertising. International airports, metro train stations, shopping centres, bus stops, etc. all employ scrolling LED dot matrix displays. Led displays are a good way to show information, but making the message dynamic is challenging since users must adjust the message content to meet their particular needs. The user must connect the Led display to the computer in order to change the message content. The wireless based dot matrix display creates the wireless connection between individual mobile and Led display in the event that the user requires pairing the Led display with the computer in order to change the message content, which makes it difficult to place the display board anywhere due to the dedicated and complex setting up pattern. It provides the facility of real time message displaying means the user can change the message content that is to be display. The message is sent from a mobile device to the LED display, and the microcontroller handles all processing for scrolling the message's content on the LED display. The project's goal is to create a wireless scrolling message board that allows the user to update the information without using a connection to connect the display board to a computer or laptop. The user has the option of using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to refresh the message content.

A FAST Hardware Decoder Optimized for Template Features to Obtain Order Book Data in Low Latency

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) systems require high computational performance for real-time trading and data analysis. FAST protocol, an extension of FIX protocol, is one of the main communication pattern adopted by these systems. This work presents an open source hardware component, implemented in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), to decode market data messages to produce the necessary commands to construct order books in low latency for the Brasil Bolsa Balcão B3 stock exchange. The proposed hardware component optimized for a B3 template is able to decode messages at average latency of 0.72us and throughput of 1.4M FAST messages per second. The results are from logs of real messages with average size of 85 bytes each.

Quranic Lexical Semantics of Izutsu and ʻAllāmah Ṭabātabāʼī: a Comparative Appraisal

This study evaluates the principles and methods of Izutsu and ʻAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʼī in the semantics of Quranic concepts, using a comparative analysis. Looking at his semantic principles, it becomes clear that ʻAllāmah believed in more flexibility for the meaning of each word in the text, and this flexibility could bring him closer to the various messages incorporated into the text by the words used by the author, although he did not make full use of this capacity in practice. In contrast, Izutsu emphasized the principle that the meanings of words change in relation to individuals’ changing worldview. Although this principle facilitated better semantics of the Quranic concepts, it also abandoned the basic core meaning of words, replacing them with alternative, false meanings. Additional-ly, it did not specify the principles of sentence semantics and had an ineffective method of analyzing conflicts in the meanings of a word in the text, especially in a religious text. The semantic principle used by Allāmah appears to be more efficient in understanding the real message of the text. Therefore, a fusion of his method with Izutsu’s ‘semantic fields’ would be a big step towards achieving a correct understanding of the meanings of Quranic words.

Introduction to Studies on Plato’s Lysis

Plato’s Lysis shows Socrates in conversation with two boys he has met at a wrestling school, Lysis and Menexenus. Their debate revolves around the notion of philia, seeking to pin down the nature of this relation, who or what takes part in it, and what causes it. The word philiahas usually been translated as “friendship” but has a wider application in this dialogue, as it encompasses a variety of friendly and loving attitudes toward both people and things. The kinds of interpersonal philia evoked include erotic attachments, kinship relations, utility-based relations, and playful companionship. Roughly two-thirds into the dialogue, the focus turns to a more general theory of desiderative attachments and the question of their ultimate telos and cause. The conversation ends, at least on the face of it, in an impasse, an aporia, when the interlocutors find themselves thrown back to the point from where they started, and no attempt to answer the question of what philia is or what motivates it has stuck. The Lysis nevertheless offers many incentives for further discussion and has elicited radically different responses from its interpreters as to what its real message is. For instance, does it promote a form of utilitarian egoism according to which human attachment can never, or should never, be altruistically motivated? Or does it hint at a very different concept of interpersonal love based on the idea that friendship, as it were, completes us since it connects us with those that share the same values? Does this dialogue stay within the familiar ambit of Socratic ethics, centered around the question of what it takes to achieve happiness (eudaimonia) in a human life, without a concern for metaphysical questions? Or, quite the contrary, does its discussion of the highest object of love (to proton philon) point forward to the metaphysical program of Plato’s so-called middle-period dialogues and especially to the notions of the form of the good or the form of the beautiful, notions which are at the center of the Republic and the Symposium? These questions and others will continue to be debated about this puzzling dialogue. The essays assembled in the present volume address many of these topics.

Resource Exhaustion Attack Detection Scheme for WLAN Using Artificial Neural Network

IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi networks are prone to many denial of service (DoS) attacks due to vulnerabilities at the media access control (MAC) layer of the 802.11 protocol. Due to the data transmission nature of the wireless local area network (WLAN) through radio waves, its communication is exposed to the possibility of being attacked by illegitimate users. Moreover, the security design of the wireless structure is vulnerable to versatile attacks. For example, the attacker can imitate genuine features, rendering classification-based methods inaccurate in differentiating between real and false messages. Although many security standards have been proposed over the last decades to overcome many wireless network attacks, effectively detecting such attacks is crucial in today’s real-world applications. This paper presents a novel resource exhaustion attack detection scheme (READS) to detect resource exhaustion attacks effectively. The proposed scheme can differentiate between the genuine and fake management frames in the early stages of the attack such that access points can effectively mitigate the consequences of the attack. The scheme is built through learning from clustered samples using artificial neural networks to identify the genuine and rogue resource exhaustion management frames effectively and efficiently in the WLAN. The proposed scheme consists of four modules which make it capable to alleviates the attack impact more effectively than the related work. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique by gaining an 89.11% improvement compared to the existing works in terms of detection.

Endorsements from Republican politicians can increase confidence in U.S. elections

Since the 2020 U.S. presidential election, perceptions of the validity of the outcome and broader trust in the American electoral process have reached historically low levels among Republicans. While this trend has potentially harmful consequences for democratic stability, there is little research on how beliefs that an election was fair—and trust in the electoral process more generally—can be restored. In a preregistered survey experiment ( n = 2101), we find that viewing real messages from Republican politicians defending the legitimacy of the 2020 election increased faith in the election’s outcome and in the broader electoral process among Republican voters, compared to either a neutral control condition or to comparable messages from Democratic politicians. These effects are statistically mediated by shifts in voters’ perceptions of elite Republican opinion about the 2020 election, highlighting a potentially useful intervention for efforts to restore faith in elections going forward. Notably, exposure to messages from Republican politicians affirming the election’s legitimacy did not significantly decrease support for the Republican Party, suggesting that Republican politicians who endorse the 2020 election results might not face backlash from voters.

Computerised Record Keeping System In Small and Medium Scale Enterprise

The significant role of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in various economies especially the developing ones have been highly established. These SMEs have been identified as the medium through which development and rapid industrialization of these economies can be achieved. The manual record-keeping system for processing of products bought and sold has been recognized as one of the most common challenge faced by SMEs. The manual record-keeping system of sales transactions of SMEs and seeks to address it by designing and developing an automated system. This is a case study on Big Donfica Investment Ghana Limited (BDIGL), a Small and Medium Enterprise located in Tamale, Northern region of Ghana. Data was collected using interview and the agile methodology model was used to develop the automated record-keeping system. The results of the study indicated that the automated system provides accurate and consistent details of sales transactions, it produces electronics receipts, sends real time sales transactions messages of all goods sold and login notifications to mobile phones. The study therefore recommends an automated record-keeping system for SMEs in their sales transactions. Further research on automated SMEs marketing is recommended.

When does public diplomacy work? Evidence from China's “wolf warrior” diplomats

AbstractHow does public diplomacy shape global public opinion? In this note, we theorize that positive public diplomacy that emphasizes aid and friendship works, while negative messages that criticize international rivals are ineffective. We conduct an experiment, to our knowledge the first of its kind, that randomly exposes Indian citizens to real Twitter messages from Chinese diplomats. We find that positive messages emphasizing aid and friendship improve perceptions of China, even in times of escalating violent conflict. However, messages from so-called “Wolf Warrior” diplomats that harshly criticize the United States are ineffective and can backfire in times of crisis. We argue public diplomacy can be a useful tool for global powers, but that domestic political pressures have pushed some diplomats, like China's Wolf Warriors, toward nationalist messages that do not appeal to foreign audiences.

Hybrid adaptive MAC scheme for the broadcast of vehicular safety beacons

SummaryVehicular safety applications are based on broadcasting periodic safety beacons on the IEE802.11p control channel. The CSMA MAC scheme adopted in the IEE802.11p cannot ensure the strict timeline and the high reliability when broadcasting these real time and critical messages since it does not consider the high mobility of vehicles, the limited network resources, and the variant traffic densities. Therefore, the design of an effective MAC scheme that takes in consideration these parameters represents a challenging task. Furthermore, the fixed beaconing rate results an overload on the commination channel and collisions especially in dense situations that delay beacons broadcast. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid MAC scheme for fast and reliable broadcast of safety beacons. At first, it relies on a time slot reuse policy that considers the mobility features of vehicles while reducing transmission collisions. In addition, it adapts mathematically the beaconing rate to the traffic density based on vehicular velocity at the aim of optimizing the performance of the wireless channel. Simulation results show that our proposal outperforms significantly the IEEE802.11p CSMA MAC scheme and upgrades the performance of vehicular networks in broadcasting periodic safety beacons.

Algorithm for Enhanced Columnar Transposition Technique

Cryptography is a field to solve the problems related to Information Security. There are numerous techniques like substitution and transposition methods to convert the real message into secret code which will be tough for intruder to understand .These techniques change the position or substitute intelligible message characters to produce the ciphertext which is more secure to transfer as compare to plaintext. Columnar Technique is also such technique which changes the position of plaintext message characters and produces the ciphertext. In this research paper, improved columnar technique is presented which will produce more randomness in the ciphertext generated to make it difficult for cryptanalyst to predict the plaintext from it.

Targeted multi-agent communication algorithm based on state control

As an important mechanism in multi-agent interaction, communication can make agents form complex team relationships rather than constitute a simple set of multiple independent agents. However, the existing communication schemes can bring much timing redundancy and irrelevant messages, which seriously affects their practical application. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a targeted multi-agent communication algorithm based on state control (SCTC). The SCTC uses a gating mechanism based on state control to reduce the timing redundancy of communication between agents and determines the interaction relationship between agents and the importance weight of a communication message through a series connection of hard- and self-attention mechanisms, realizing targeted communication message processing. In addition, by minimizing the difference between the fusion message generated from a real communication message of each agent and a fusion message generated from the buffered message, the correctness of the final action choice of the agent is ensured. Our evaluation using a challenging set of StarCraft II benchmarks indicates that the SCTC can significantly improve the learning performance and reduce the communication overhead between agents, thus ensuring better cooperation between agents.

Örnekler Bağlamında Bazı Âyetlerin Zâhirî İhtilafları ve Giderme Yolları

Müshkilu’l-Qur’an” is a subject of great importance in the sciences of the Qur’an. In terms of thhe necessity of understanting the Qur’an correctly and developing an accurate interpretation, this subject which is evaluated within the scope of ‘ulûmu’l-Qur’an, should be well understood. It is know that people who do not have sufficient knowledge in this field do not have sufficient mental ability to interpret such verses in the Qur’an within the framework of certain rules, due to the fact that people’s understanding and comprehension abilities are different from other. It is seen that schools of thought that are againts Islam use mutashabih, concise and problematic verses in order to mislead people from the real message that the Qur’an wants to convey and the truths of the Qur’an. Islamic scholars who lived in different periods seriously focused on the concesps of “mushkilu’l-Qur’an” and “ihlilâfu’l-Qur’an” and gave convincing answers to even the slightest criticisms from this direction. İt is important for people who believe that the Qur’an is the truth and know taht there is no real conflict anywhere in the Qur’an. Otherwise, it seems likely taht they will adopt some skeptical approaches about the Qur’an. This article aims to respond to the criticisms directed at the Qur’an and the claims of apparent contradiction, which were brought to the agenda as if it wera a problem in different periods of history, and to explain the methods and interpretation methods to be followed regarding the verses that are thought to be in conflict with each other by focusing on the reasons fort he conflicts in the verses.

A novel intrusion detection model for the CAN bus packet of in-vehicle network based on attention mechanism and autoencoder

The attacks on in-vehicle Controller Area Network (CAN) bus messages severely disrupt normal communication between vehicles. Therefore, researches on intrusion detection models for CAN have positive business value for vehicle security, and the intrusion detection technology for CAN bus messages can effectively protect the in-vehicle network from unlawful attacks. Previous machine learning-based models are unable to effectively identify intrusive abnormal messages due to their inherent shortcomings. Hence, to address the shortcomings of the previous machine learning-based intrusion detection technique, we propose a novel method using Attention Mechanism and AutoEncoder for Intrusion Detection (AMAEID). The AMAEID model first converts the raw hexadecimal message data into binary format to obtain better input. Then the AMAEID model encodes and decodes the binary message data using a multi-layer denoising autoencoder model to obtain a hidden feature representation that can represent the potential features behind the message data at a deeper level. Finally, the AMAEID model uses the attention mechanism and the fully connected layer network to infer whether the message is an abnormal message or not. The experimental results with three evaluation metrics on a real in-vehicle CAN bus message dataset outperform some traditional machine learning algorithms, demonstrating the effectiveness of the AMAEID model.

Building a Privacy-Preserving Blockchain-Based Bidding System: A Crypto Approach

Blockchain-based bidding systems are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. Due to the properties of blockchain, bidding records are unchangeable. With existing encryption techniques, these bidding records can only be shared by the bidder and the seller. Although this scenario sounds secure, it does not consider a coercion case. A powerful coercer may force the bidding system to open the records stored on the blockchain, and the system loses privacy. To solve this problem, in this paper, we introduce a new encryption scheme called deniable matchmaking encryption (DME). This new encryption scheme provides deniability not only for the message, but also for the identities. We use the chameleon hash function to make fake message and fake identities indistinguishable from the real message and the real identities. Therefore, the bidding system can use fake information to answer the coercer, and user privacy is kept by the blockchain-based bidding system.
