Data Hiding using Emoticons

In 21st century Digital communication has become a very essential part of day to day life of every human. It has continuously evolved over the year. It has made communication easier. People can communicate anywhere and anytime large amount of data is transmitted every day, every second. Here data security comes into picture. Each and every individual want their data to be secure and doesn’t want it to be used in an unauthorized way. There are various techniques to provide data security such as cryptography and steganography. Cryptography is the science of encompassing the principles and methods of transforming a plain text message into one that is unintelligible and then, that message back to its original form. Steganography is the art and science of hiding information by embedding messages into other messages. Steganography means “Covered Writing” in Greek. Both the techniques have their own limitations; to overcome those limitations, here in this paper, we are combining both the techniques to enhance data security

Lessons Learned: Reflections On Training Student Tutors

As an academic institution that is still in its early phases of organisational growth, Monash University, South Africa does not have a pool of postgraduate students that can be utilised for teaching assistance in units with large groups of students. This necessitated the selection of high-calibre honours candidates and third-year students that could be trained to become tutors. The tutor training, upon which this study is based, originated from a practical need that arose within the context of teaching at a small higher education institution. The researchers developed the training with the intention of providing the necessary skills enhancement needed for tutors to conduct successful tutorials. Due to the novelty of this endeavour, the research questions emerged with the formulation of the original content of the training course. There were three main research questions. Firstly, to verify whether the topics covered in the training did in fact provide the requisite real-world knowledge and skills development. Secondly, to evaluate the quality of the training that was provided. Thirdly, to ascertain other gaps in knowledge and skill that exist and that need to be addressed. A mixed methodological approach was followed in this study. Action research and group-administered questionnaires were utilised. Action research was used both in the data collection and in the data analysis phases. Group-administered questionnaires facilitated data triangulation to enhance the validity of the research findings. The research method utilised in this study to evaluate the efficacy of the training and to identify further training needs, presented a unique opportunity for reflective practice. The content of the training was set up to address needs identified by the researchers, based on their own teaching and tutoring experiences. To ensure continuous improvement and efficacy, the content was refined once the participants were given an opportunity to provide feedback. The researchers reflected on what transpired in each training session and developed new insights into potential gaps that needed filling. The participants responded positively to the unique learning situation that was created and felt that the training equipped them with the basic skills they needed as novice tutors. The researchers found that reflective practice effectively enabled the participants to identify the individual value gained from the learning experience

Child illness and parental mental health and well-being

Section A: This report aimed to provide an updated review of the literature on parent sleep in the context of having a child with a physical illness. It focused on psychological factors that may explain sleep difficulties and explores potential consequences of sleep disturbance. A systematic search of four databases yielded 36 studies that were eligible for review. Studies showed a high proportion of parents experiencing sleep disruptions and explored the relationship between parent sleep and mental health. Factors associated with sleep disruption included child illness-related factors, environmental and social factors. Section B: Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) occurs when symptoms of reflux require medical intervention. Parents whose infants experience some of the symptoms of GORD are at risk of poorer mental health. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of mental health difficulties in this population, to test predictors of parental mental health, and to explore differences between different types of GORD. Participants reported significantly higher rates of anxiety and depression than those found in perinatal or general population samples. Results provided support for the predictive power of self-compassion, illness perceptions and illness uncertainty, above and beyond parent satisfaction with sleep, social and relationship support and infant feeding
