Design and Implementation of University Club Management System based on WeChat Applet

To solve the problems of delayed work processes and redundant content in the management of university clubs, digital means are used to improve the efficiency of club management. We have designed and implemented a WeChat mini program for the university club ma nagement system. The mini program uses the Java Script framework and cloud database to facilitate participation in club activities, manage information, and register for activities. Through practical application, this mini program not only simplifies the club management process, but also enhances the interactivity and social attributes of the club. Effectively solving key issues in club management, it provides strong support for the digital transformation of university clubs and the convenience of student life.

Interoperable workflows by exchanging grid-based data between quantum-chemical program packages.

Quantum-chemical subsystem and embedding methods require complex workflows that may involve multiple quantum-chemical program packages. Moreover, such workflows require the exchange of voluminous data that go beyond simple quantities, such as molecular structures and energies. Here, we describe our approach for addressing this interoperability challenge by exchanging electron densities and embedding potentials as grid-based data. We describe the approach that we have implemented to this end in a dedicated code, PyEmbed, currently part of a Python scripting framework. We discuss how it has facilitated the development of quantum-chemical subsystem and embedding methods and highlight several applications that have been enabled by PyEmbed, including wave-function theory (WFT) in density-functional theory (DFT) embedding schemes mixing non-relativistic and relativistic electronic structure methods, real-time time-dependent DFT-in-DFT approaches, the density-based many-body expansion, and workflows including real-space data analysis and visualization. Our approach demonstrates, in particular, the merits of exchanging (complex) grid-based data and, in general, the potential of modular software development in quantum chemistry, which hinges upon libraries that facilitate interoperability.

DEVELOPMENT OF A WEBGIS FOR SOLAR PV RESOURCE AND INSTALLATION ASSESSMENT USING GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract. The SINAG Web Portal, a web-based GIS platform that hosts spatial data and a forecasting model for solar PV installation assessment, serves as a repository for the products and outputs of the SolarPot and OutSolar components of a research project called Solar PV Resource and Installation Assessment Using Geospatial Technologies (SINAG). The website was developed with frontend and backend services which involved the use of a content management system, database systems, cloud virtual machines, Linux operating systems, programming languages, specifically Python and JavaScript, and a style scripting framework. All outputs generated by the two components of Project SINAG are stored on the dedicated cloud server of the website. It includes processed spatial data, a graphical summary of the created models, the ability to explore historical data, data requests and downloads, and the use of mapping tools. It is anticipated that the web portal will play a significant role in the assessment and decision-making process for selecting candidate sites for installing solar PV systems across the Philippine archipelago.

Financial Crime Scripting: an Analytical Method to Generate, Organise and Systematise Knowledge on the Financial Aspects of Profit-Driven Crime

AbstractThis article presents a further development of the existing crime scripting framework to enhance insight in the financial aspects of profit-driven crime: financial crime scripting. By drawing on the foundations of crime script analysis, financial crime scripting allows to generate, organise and systematise knowledge about the financial aspects of the crime commission processes of a variety of crime types, and accounts for linking the dots with financial crimes, such as bribery, bankruptcy fraud and money laundering. Viewing these financial crimes as supporting or succeeding offences in light of profit-driven crimes, and at the same time providing guidance to analyse these offences as profit-driven crimes in itself, opens the door for detailed analyses without losing sight of the bigger picture, i.e., the interconnectedness with other crimes. This analytical method helps crime researchers to take into account the financial aspects of crime-commission processes in crime script analyses and could help law enforcement agencies and other crime prevention partners to go beyond a proceeds-of-crime approach and put a follow-the-money approach in practice. Financial crime scripting takes full account of the financial aspects of profit-driven crime and puts relevant concepts in broader perspective, enhancing understanding with conceptual clarity. In addition to outlining the framework, the relevance for policy and practice is unravelled and avenues for future research are discussed.

Negotiating body, sex, and self-fashioning in Fújì music

A growing body of literature interrogating the voluptuous rendering of human sexuality in popular culture has focused on sex scripting in Western films and the commodification of women and their representations in popular media. However, exploration of how linguistic metaphors and innuendoes are deployed to affirm or contest expressions of desires that are sacred, sensitive, or taboo in Fuji music has received little scholarly attention. Of what significance is contesting social structure on sexuality to Fuji as a Nigerian popular musical genre? This empirical study explores this question while drawing on an ethnographic and interpretive literary analysis. Drawing from Hakim’s notion of ‘erotic capital’, the analyses and discussion operationalize the sexual scripting framework, Black feminist thought, and African/Black revolutionary art. I argue that sexual narratives and connotations in Fuji performance are often generated as powerful resources to contest sexual sensitivity and push back on silence on sexuality, negotiate and solicit artistic identity, and exact influence on public conversations on sexuality. By and large, this article affirms the engagement of sensual lyrical content as constitutive of revolutionary art and a social transformative site in which the body is negotiated as a catalyst for sexonomics in the contemporary ‘ear-tearing pant-and-bra’ musical evocations.

A Qualitative Exploration of Undergraduate Student Perspectives of Sexual Consent Within a Sexual Script Framework

There appear to be widespread misunderstandings and disagreement regarding the definition and execution of sexual consent among postsecondary students. Without a clear understanding of what constitutes sexual consent, navigating consent-related situations can be challenging for individuals. Sexual script theory may explain gaps in consent knowledge by highlighting the social normative references, or sexual scripts, individuals may rely on when knowledge of consent is insufficient or challenging to apply. The goal of the current study was to qualitatively explore Canadian undergraduate students’ perceptions and experiences of sexual consent within the framework of sexual script theory. Using focus groups, N = 56 undergraduates discussed perceptions of sexual consent, under what circumstances they perceive it to be required, potential “grey areas” of sexual consent and how they are navigated, and how gender may intersect with sexual consent. Transcripts were analyzed within a framework of sexual script theory using inductive coding and thematic analysis. Although participants understood Canadian legally codified scripts well, they seemed to rely on socio-cultural and gendered sexual consent scripts when legal scripts were insufficient or challenging to apply, particularly in ambiguous consent scenarios. The findings suggest that beyond providing educational opportunities and interventions within formal school settings that encompass a wider range of sexual consent scenarios, there is a need to address socio-cultural norms/sexual scripts regarding consent within the broader population.

Women Selling Sex in Russia: Analyzing Women’s Appraisal of Exploitation and Mistreatment Using Cognitive Dissonance and Cultural Sex Script Frameworks

Globally, over a third of women have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. In Russia, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and physical abuse of women are amongst the world’s highest. Applying cognitive dissonance theory and sexual script theory, this study explores whether women (n = 654) trading sex in Russia appraise their experiences of entering the commercial sex trade as voluntary or forced. Contributing client factors were also analyzed, including beatings (66%), rape (66%), and humiliation (86%) by clients. Multiple logistic regression assessed whether women who reported voluntarily entering the commercial sex trade were more likely to experience physical abuse but less likely to experience rape (AOR:1.37); were more likely to perceive men using them as decent/caring (AOR = 2.54); were more likely to sell sadistic/masochistic services (AOR: 2.31); and less likely to stop selling sex (AOR: 5.84). Implications of this study reveal the importance of intervention strategies that account for a woman’s unawareness of her own exploitation and mistreatment as well as the psychological barriers that prevent her from seeking help. The necessity of recognizing women selling sex as sufferers of coercion and abuse is also emphasized.

Environmental Effects with Frozen-Density Embedding in Real-Time Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Using Localized Basis Functions.

Frozen-density embedding (FDE) represents a versatile embedding scheme to describe the environmental effect on electron dynamics in molecular systems. The extension of the general theory of FDE to the real-time time-dependent Kohn–Sham method has previously been presented and implemented in plane waves and periodic boundary conditions [PavanelloM.; J. Chem. Phys.2015, 142, 15411625903875]. In the current paper, we extend our recent formulation of the real-time time-dependent Kohn–Sham method based on localized basis set functions and developed within the Psi4NumPy framework to the FDE scheme. The latter has been implemented in its “uncoupled” flavor (in which the time evolution is only carried out for the active subsystem, while the environment subsystems remain at their ground state), using and adapting the FDE implementation already available in the PyEmbed module of the scripting framework PyADF. The implementation was facilitated by the fact that both Psi4NumPy and PyADF, being native Python API, provided an ideal framework of development using the Python advantages in terms of code readability and reusability. We employed this new implementation to investigate the stability of the time-propagation procedure, which is based on an efficient predictor/corrector second-order midpoint Magnus propagator employing an exact diagonalization, in combination with the FDE scheme. We demonstrate that the inclusion of the FDE potential does not introduce any numerical instability in time propagation of the density matrix of the active subsystem, and in the limit of the weak external field, the numerical results for low-lying transition energies are consistent with those obtained using the reference FDE calculations based on the linear-response TDDFT. The method is found to give stable numerical results also in the presence of a strong external field inducing nonlinear effects. Preliminary results are reported for high harmonic generation (HHG) of a water molecule embedded in a small water cluster. The effect of the embedding potential is evident in the HHG spectrum reducing the number of the well-resolved high harmonics at high energy with respect to the free water. This is consistent with a shift toward lower ionization energy passing from an isolated water molecule to a small water cluster. The computational burden for the propagation step increases approximately linearly with the size of the surrounding frozen environment. Furthermore, we have also shown that the updating frequency of the embedding potential may be significantly reduced, much less than one per time step, without jeopardizing the accuracy of the transition energies.

Hispanic women’s perceptions of teenage sexting: qualitative analyses using a sexual scripting framework

Research on sexting perceptions and practices among high school students is extensive; however, this work has focused on predominately White samples, ignoring Hispanic adolescent young women’s experiences and interpretations related to sexting. This study used qualitative methods to examine Hispanic college women’s reflections on their engagement in and perceptions of image-based sexting during high school. A total of 56 Hispanic college women participated in individual-interviews about high school sexting. Approximately 20% of participants reported sexting images of themselves during high school. The common perception among participants who did not sext was that girls who sent sexualised images of themselves in high school were attention seekers or responding to a request from a boy. Those who sent sexts reported having sent the images of themselves within the context of a romantic relationship. Teenage girls whose sexualised images were widely circulated were viewed negatively by both sexters and non-sexters and faced negative social repercussions. The results highlight the influence of traditional gendered sexual scripting norms on sexting perceptions irrespective of behavioural intentions.

SCRIPT

Power side-channel attacks (SCAs) have been proven to be effective at extracting secret keys from hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms. Ideally, the power side-channel leakage (PSCL) of hardware designs of a cryptographic algorithm should be evaluated as early as the pre-silicon stage (e.g., gate level). However, there has been little effort in developing computer-aided design (CAD) tools to accomplish this. In this article, we propose an automated CAD framework called SCRIPT to evaluate information leakage through side-channel analysis. SCRIPT starts by defining the underlying properties of the hardware implementation that can be exploited by side-channel attacks. It then utilizes information flow tracking (IFT) to identify registers that exhibit those properties and, therefore, leak information through the side-channel. Here, we develop an IFT-based side-channel vulnerability metric ( SCV ) that is utilized by SCRIPT for PSCL assessment. SCV is conceptually similar to the traditionally used signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) metric. However, unlike SNR, which requires thousands of traces from silicon measurements, SCRIPT utilizes formal methods to generate SCV-guided patterns/plaintexts, allowing us to derive SCV using only a few patterns (ideally as low as two) at gate level. SCV estimates PSCL vulnerability at pre-silicon stage based on the number of plaintexts required to attain a specific SCA success rate. The integration of IFT and pattern generation makes SCRIPT efficient, accurate, and generic to be applied to any hardware design. We validate the efficacy of the SCRIPT framework by demonstrating that it can effectively and accurately determine SCA success rates for different AES designs at pre-silicon stage. SCRIPT is orders of magnitude more efficient than traditional pre-silicon PSCL assessment (SNR-based), with an average evaluation time of 15 minutes; whereas, traditional PSCL assessment at pre-silicon stage would require more than a month. We also analyze the PSCL characteristic of the multiplication unit of RISC processor using SCRIPT to demonstrate SCRIPT’s applicability.

Using Crime Script Analysis to Understand the Illegal Harvesting of Live Corals: Case Studies From Indonesia and Fiji

Imported to adorn tanks of marine aquarium hobbyists, the trade in live corals poses a significant risk to species that concurrently face threats from rising global temperatures, pollution, and destructive fishing practices. To better understand the live coral trade, we employed a crime script framework to analyze the process by which corals are harvested in two of the world’s major exporting countries—Indonesia and Fiji. We demonstrate that coral harvesting and export are complex activities that require a specific set of skills and tools. As such, various intervention strategies are proposed to address illegal coral harvesting at different stages of the crime script.

A Bot and a Smile: Interpersonal Impressions of Chatbots and Humans Using Emoji in Computer-mediated Communication

ABSTRACT Artificially intelligent (AI) agents increasingly occupy roles once served by humans in computer-mediated communication (CMC). Technological affordances like emoji give interactants (humans or bots) the ability to partially overcome the limited nonverbal information in CMC. However, despite the growth of chatbots as conversational partners, few CMC and human-machine communication (HMC) studies have explored how bots’ use of emoji impact perceptions of communicator quality. This study examined the relationship between emoji use and observers’ impressions of interpersonal attractiveness, CMC competence, and source credibility; and whether impressions formed of human versus chatbot message sources were different. Results demonstrated that participants rated emoji-using chatbot message sources similarly to human message sources, and both humans and bots are significantly more socially attractive, CMC competent, and credible when compared to verbal-only message senders. Results are discussed with respect to the CASA paradigm and the human-to-human interaction script framework.

Real-time event-driven sensor data analytics at the edge-Internet of Things for smart personal healthcare

Real-time service has become a key for efficient serving of the Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart e-Healthcare. Several orientations have tried to pave this side of the technology but severely lacked in terms of incorporations of lightweight and open IoT-based frameworks. This study presents two different experiments that deals with the real-time visualization, charting and analytics while using real-time and open java script frameworks that includes Node.js, Johnny-Five, SperialPort, PubNub client, EON.js, Chart.js, Express Server and Socket.io. The objective of this work is to investigate the IoT-based real-time analytics behavior in cost-effective e-health sensor deployment scenario. The results found from the study advocates for the growth and assimilation of IoT-based open-source java script frameworks for serving real-time sensor data analytics in e-Healthcare sector.

First-year college students’ alcohol and hookup behaviours: sexual scripting and implications for sexual health promotion

This study used a sexual scripting framework to analyse data from the Online College Social Life Survey to examine the role of individual, (e.g. gender, race and alcohol use), relational (partner type, condom use behaviours), and contextual factors (sex ratios and fraternity/sorority affiliation) influencing 4,292 first-year college students’ hookup experiences. Results suggest that hookups are relatively “safe”, with the the majority involving non-penetrative sexual behaviour, condom use, and familiar partners. However, alcohol use affected hookup behaviours and lower levels of condom use were associated with heavy alcohol use, even with less well known partners. Findings point to the importance of interventions that reinforce first-year students’ positive behaviours and present them with protective behavioural strategies to use in the context of alcohol, and with repeat or well-known partners to reduce risk and have enjoyable, consensual sexual experiences.

An Intuitive Way to Unmask In-Browser Cryptojacking in Network Level using Support Vector Machine (SVM) in Machine Learning

cryptocurrency mining is skyrocketed in the recent times. The hackers are turning their heads towards this type of attacks mainly through browser-based mining which makes them undetected. This leads to the increase in Electricity bills and heavy load on the computer processing. This can be avoided by disabling the java script in the device. The disabling Java Script leads to poor user experience of the websites as the websites in recent times are powered with Java Script frameworks. This paper discusses about a live network filtering tool which detects the illicit In-browser miningwithin the range of a network of devices.

NIMH MonkeyLogic: Behavioral control and data acquisition in MATLAB

BackgroundComputerized control of behavioral paradigms is an essential element of neurobehavioral studies, especially physiological recording studies that require sub-millisecond precision. Few software solutions provide a simple, flexible environment to create and run these applications. MonkeyLogic, a MATLAB-based package, was developed to meet these needs, but faces a performance crisis and obsolescence due to changes in MATLAB itself. New methodHere we report a complete redesign and rewrite of MonkeyLogic, now NIMH MonkeyLogic, that natively supports the latest 64-bit MATLAB on the Windows platform. Major layers of the underlying real-time hardware control were removed and replaced by custom toolboxes: NIMH DAQ Toolbox and MonkeyLogic Graphics Library. The redesign resolves undesirable delays in data transfers and limitations in graphics capabilities. ResultsNIMH MonkeyLogic is essentially a new product. It provides a powerful new scripting framework, has dramatic speed enhancements and provides major new graphics abilities. Comparison with existing methodNIMH MonkeyLogic is fully backward compatible with earlier task scripts, but with better temporal precision. It provides more input device options, superior graphics and a new real-time closed-loop programming model. Because NIMH MonkeyLogic requires no commercial toolbox and has a reduced hardware requirement, implementation costs are substantially reduced. ConclusionNIMH MonkeyLogic is a versatile, powerful, up-to-date tool for controlling a wide range of experiments. It is freely available from https://monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov/.

Spin-Scenario: A flexible scripting environment for realistic MR simulations.

In this paper we present a new open source package, Spin-Scenario, aimed at developing an intuitive, flexible and unique scripting framework able to cover many aspects of simulations in both MR imaging and MR spectroscopy. For this purpose, we adopted the Liouville space model as the standard computing engine and let the consequent computational burden be afforded by parallel computing techniques. Benefitting from the powerful Lua scripting language, the pulse sequence programming syntax was specially designed to offer an extremely concise way of scripting. Moreover, the built-in dataflow graph based optimal control scheme enables an efficient optimization of shaped pulses or multiple cooperative pulses for real-life experiment evaluations. As the name states, the users are expected to be able to realize their creative ideas like a scenarist that creates a scenario script and looks at the spin actors acting accordingly. The validation of the framework was demonstrated with several examples within MR imaging and MR spectroscopy. Spin-Scenario is available for download at https://github.com/spin-scenario.
