Pendekatan konstruktif dalam inovasi pengajaran dan pembelajaran Bahasa Melayu di Kolej Vokasional
Pendekatan konstruktif adalah pendekatan pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang
berpusatkan pelajar manakala inovasi pengajaran pula dikaitkan dengan kaedah
pengajaran yang terbaru demi mengukuhkan pemahaman pelajar. Pembelajaran
berasaskan pendekatan konstruktif merupakan elemen yang penting dan perlu
difahami oleh guru-guru bagi memantapkan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran
sesuai dengan peredaran masa dan menjayakan proses tranformasi pendidikan
negara. Objektif kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti pemahaman guru-guru
bahasa Melayu berkaitan inovasi, mengenal pasti perbezaan yang wujud antara guru
lelaki dan guru perempuan dalam mengamalkan inovasi, pengkaji juga melihat
adakah wujud perbezaan antara guru baru dan guru yang sudah berpengalaman
dalam aspek mengaplikasikan inovasi serta mengenal pasti kekangan-kekangan yang
dialami oleh para guru untuk mengaplikasikan inovasi di sekolah. Seramai 63 orang
guru bahasa Melayu dari lapan buah kolej vokasional telah dipilih sebagai responden
dalam kajian ini. Data dianalisis menggunakan perisian Winsteps 3.69.1.11 dengan
pendekatan Model Pengukuran Rasch. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa guru�guru bahasa Melayu memahami kepentingan inovasi dalam pengajaran dan
pembelajaran. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan guru-guru perempuan lebih banyak
menerapkan unsur inovasi dalam pengajaran berbanding guru lelaki. Walaupun
begitu, aspek pengalaman tidak menunjukkan perbezaan dari segi pengamalan
inovasi sama ada guru baru ataupun guru yang sudah berpengalaman. Pengkaji juga
mengenal pasti beberapa kekangan yang dialami oleh guru-guru untuk mengamalkan
inovasi ini. Sebagai langkah untuk menangani masalah berkenaan, beberapa
cadangan telah dikemukakan oleh pengkaji bagi memastikan guru-guru dapat
merealisasikan proses pengajaran berkesan dengan penerapan inovasi mengikut
model pendekatan konstruktif. Pengkaji berharap, kajian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai
satu panduan kepada pelaksana kurikulum bagi memastikan budaya inovasi sentiasa
menjadi amalan dalam kalangan guru demi mengangkat profesionalisme guru di

Building a truster environment for e-business : a Malaysian perspective
Internet identify ‘security’ as a major concern for businesses. In general, the level of security in any network environment is closely linked to the level of trust assigned to a particular individual or organization within that environment. It is the trust element that is crucial in ensuring a secure environment. Besides physical security, security technology needs to be utilised to
provide a trusted environment for e-business. Network security components for perimeter defense, i.e., Virtual Private Networks, firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems, need to be complemented by security components at the applications and user level, e.g., authentication of user. ID or password security solution may be an option but now with the availability of legally binding digital certificates, security in e-business transactions can be further improved. Time and date stamping of e-business transactions are also of concern to prove at a later
date that the transactions took place at the stipulated date and time. Digital certificates are part of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) scheme, which is an enabling technology for building a trusted epvironment. PIU comprise policies and procedures for establishing a secure method for exchanging information over a network environment. The Digital Signature Act 1997 (DSA 1997) facilitates the PKI implementation in Malaysia. Following the DSA 1997, Certification Authorities (CAs) were set up in Malaysia. This paper describes a trusted platform for spurring ebusiness and provides a Malaysian perspective of it
SMART CARDS - UTILITY, APPLICATIONS AND VULNERABILITIES
The Internet has taken its place beside the telephone and television as an important part of people’s lives. Consumers use the Internet to shop, bank and invest online. Most consumers use credit or debit cards to pay for online purchases, but other payment methods, like “e-wallets,” are becoming more common. But not all the payments are safe there are a lot of fake sites, hackers, viruses.smart cards, e-payment, vulnerabilities, security
State of Alaska Election Security Project Phase 2 Report
A laska’s election system is among the most secure in the country,
and it has a number of safeguards other states are now adopting. But
the technology Alaska uses to record and count votes could be improved—
and the state’s huge size, limited road system, and scattered communities
also create special challenges for insuring the integrity of the vote.
In this second phase of an ongoing study of Alaska’s election
security, we recommend ways of strengthening the system—not only the
technology but also the election procedures. The lieutenant governor
and the Division of Elections asked the University of Alaska Anchorage to
do this evaluation, which began in September 2007.Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell.

Survey and Benchmark of Block Ciphers for Wireless Sensor Networks
Cryptographic algorithms play an important role in the security architecture of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Choosing the most storage- and energy-efficient block cipher is essential, due to the facts that these networks are meant to operate without human intervention for a long period of time with little energy supply, and that available storage is scarce on these sensor nodes. However, to our knowledge, no systematic work has been done in this area so far.We construct an evaluation framework in which we first identify the candidates of block ciphers suitable for WSNs, based on existing literature and authoritative recommendations. For evaluating and assessing these candidates, we not only consider the security properties but also the storage- and energy-efficiency of the candidates. Finally, based on the evaluation results, we select the most suitable ciphers for WSNs, namely Skipjack, MISTY1, and Rijndael, depending on the combination of available memory and required security (energy efficiency being implicit). In terms of operation mode, we recommend Output Feedback Mode for pairwise links but Cipher Block Chaining for group communications
