Selecting Root Exploit Features Using Flying Animal-Inspired Decision

Malware is an application that executes malicious activities to a computer system, including mobile devices. Root exploit brings more damages among all types of malware because it is able to run in stealthy mode. It compromises the nucleus of the operating system known as kernel to bypass the Android security mechanisms. Once it attacks and resides in the kernel, it is able to install other possible types of malware to the Android devices. In order to detect root exploit, it is important to investigate its features to assist machine learning to predict it accurately. This study proposes flying animal-inspired (1) bat, 2) firefly, and 3) bee) methods to search automatically the exclusive features, then utilizes these flying animal-inspired decision features to improve the machine learning prediction. Furthermore, a boosting method (Adaboost) boosts the multilayer perceptron (MLP) potential to a stronger classification. The evaluation jotted the best result is from bee search, which recorded 91.48 percent in accuracy, 82.2 percent in true positive rate, and 0.1 percent false positive rate

Spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks collected from wild animals in Israel

We report molecular evidence for the presence of spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR) in ticks collected from roe deer, addax, red foxes, and wild boars in Israel. Rickettsia aeschlimannii was detected in Hyalomma marginatum and Hyalomma detritum while Rickettsia massiliae was present in Rhipicephalus turanicus ticks. Furthermore, a novel uncultured SFGR was detected in Haemaphysalis adleri and Haemaphysalis parva ticks from golden jackals. The pathogenicity of the novel SFGR for humans is unknown; however, the presence of multiple SFGR agents should be considered when serological surveillance data from Israel are interpreted because of significant antigenic cross-reactivity among Rickettsia. The epidemiology and ecology of SFGR in Israel appear to be more complicated than was previously believed. Copyright © 2011 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

Positive impact of self-assessment first year Experience on academic achievement among International students

The academic aspect plays a vital role as a 'transformative' element in bringing change into the life of each individual. One of the main goals of students continuing their studies abroad is to obtain a high-quality education. The firstyear experience is considered an important phase involving self-assimilation, emotional change, cultural shock and social values that can influence the academic achievement of international students. The discussion of this paper elucidates the factors that contribute to the more meaningful first-year experience differences by comparing the process of self-assimilation and academic achievement of international students. In-depth interviews with 40 international students from four Malaysian public universities were conducted using a qualitative method approach that used objective sampling techniques. The findings lead to a self-reflection on the nature of international students, which is expressed through a narrative outpouring of emotions that describe the excitement, desire, and hope. The elements of transformation and selfassimilation of students in this study are interconnected with (i) the reputation of Malaysian public universities as a prestigious educational destination, (ii) the quality of a more comprehensive and 'versatile' higher education system, (iii) the flexibility and dynamics of the academic programs offered, and (iv) contemporary and ‘market driven' academic programs. The empirical data from this study is hoped to be useful information for the university's human resource management, which relies heavily on international student enrolment. This effort is in line with Malaysia's National Strategic Plan for Highe

Exploration of the level and employment of ESL writing strategies among Malaysian lower secondary school students

This survey study explored and identified the level as well as the employment of ESL writing strategies use among Malaysian lower secondary school students. This study utilised Petric & Czarl (2003) modified writing strategies use questionnaire as its data collection instrument. 124 Form One students from an urban school in Keningau, Sabah participated in this study. The results of the questionnaire showed that lower secondary school students are medium users of writing strategies. The results also indicated that lower secondary school students used during writing strategies more than pre-writing and revising strategies. Recommendations for future studies include approaching related studies with qualitative approaches

Developing of emergency evacuation kit in response of Malaysia East Coast flood disaster

The flood struck East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia in December 2014 has resulted in huge natural disaster. More than 4.82 million people across four states especially Kelantan were sink flooded, resulted shut down of the area from outside traffic and delaying the rescue forces. Emergency aid has difficulties to reach the evacuation centres and victims were scattered trapped with low life support on water, food, energy and healthcare supply. Therefore, an integrated assessment of flood in the basin is important to seek for effective responses. In response to disaster vulnerability for risk reduction among society who living in flood prone, community contribution is needed in preparation of emergency evacuation kit as a part of preparedness. The survey will be conduct by distribution of questionnaire to the flood disaster victims in order to discover the most important necessities during flood situation. The results of this survey may lead to the preparation of emergency evacuation kit for use in future

A Psychometric Evaluation of The Malay Version of PedsQLTM Family Impact Module among Caregivers of Children with Learning Disabilities

Parenting a child with learning disability can be a source of significant stress and affects the quality of life of the parents and families. The aim of this study was to evaluate thepsychometric properties of the Malay version of PedsQLTM Family Impact Module that measure the impact of children with learning disabilities on theircaregivers’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and family functioning. A crosssectional study was conducted involving 383 caregivers of children with learning disabilities in Kelantan, a state of Peninsular Malaysia. Internal consistency reliability, construct validity and construct reliability were evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The Malay version of PedsQLTM  Family Impact Moduleshowed good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7). Second order CFA showed that the instrument had acceptable construct validity after modification with Goodness-of-fit indices reached the standard indicating acceptable model fit (2(426) = 878.842, p<0.001; RMSEA = 0.053; CFI = 0.918; 2/df= 2.063).Average variance extracted and composite reliability achieved minimum acceptable value for main construct and all subconstructs except Physical Functioning subconstruct. The Malay version of PedsQLTM Family Impact Module with eight subscales and 31 items had adequate construct validity and reliability and could be used to assess the impact of pediatric disability on parent HRQoL and family functioning in Malay-speaking Malaysian familieS

A short review on persistent scatterer interferometry techniques for surface deformation monitoring

Technology advancement has urged the development of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to be upgraded and transformed. The main contribution of the InSAR technique is that the surface deformation changes measurements can achieve up to millimetre level precision. Environmental problems such as landslides, volcanoes, earthquakes, excessive underground water production, and other phenomena can cause the earth's surface deformation. Deformation monitoring of a surface is vital as unexpected movement, and future behaviour can be detected and predicted. InSAR time series analysis, known as Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI), has become an essential tool for measuring surface deformation. Therefore, this study provides a review of the PSI techniques used to measure surface deformation changes. An overview of surface deformation and the basic principles of the four techniques that have been developed from the improvement of Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR), which is Small Baseline Subset (SBAS), Stanford Method for Persistent Scatterers (StaMPS), SqueeSAR and Quasi Persistent Scatterer (QPS) were summarised to perceive the ability of these techniques in monitoring surface deformation. This study also emphasises the effectiveness and restrictions of each developed technique and how they suit Malaysia conditions and environment. The future outlook for Malaysia in realising the PSI techniques for structural monitoring also discussed in this review. Finally, this review will lead to the implementation of appropriate techniques and better preparation for the country's structural development
