Socially-Aware Distributed Hash Tables for Decentralized Online Social Networks

Many decentralized online social networks (DOSNs) have been proposed due to an increase in awareness related to privacy and scalability issues in centralized social networks. Such decentralized networks transfer processing and storage functionalities from the service providers towards the end users. DOSNs require individualistic implementation for services, (i.e., search, information dissemination, storage, and publish/subscribe). However, many of these services mostly perform social queries, where OSN users are interested in accessing information of their friends. In our work, we design a socially-aware distributed hash table (DHTs) for efficient implementation of DOSNs. In particular, we propose a gossip-based algorithm to place users in a DHT, while maximizing the social awareness among them. Through a set of experiments, we show that our approach reduces the lookup latency by almost 30% and improves the reliability of the communication by nearly 10% via trusted contacts.Comment: 10 pages, p2p 2015 conferenc

The main factors affecting the selection of courses related to food services among male students in vocational colleges

The education system in Malaysia is divided into several types: technical and vocational education, general education and religious education (Rashid, 2006). The technical and vocational fields emphasize knowledge and skills as well as provide good employment opportunities to young people. While public education emphasizes on academic knowledge. Malaysia is a rapidly developing country and is aiming to become a developed nation by the year 2020. Industry engaged in food services is one of the growing segments of the Malaysian economy. Indirectly the growth and growth of the rising food service industry has created vast career opportunities for graduates. However, along with these developments, gender imbalances between male and female students in food services are often the main topic for debate

All Optical Signal Processing Technologies in Optical Fiber Communication

Due to continued growth of internet at starling rate and the introduction of new broadband services, such as cloud computing, IPTV and high-definition media streaming, there is a requirement for flexible bandwidth infrastructure that supports mobility of data at peta-scale. Elastic networking based on gridless spectrum technology is evolving as a favorable solution for the flexible optical networking supportive next generation traffic requirements. Recently, research is centered on a more elastic spectrum provision methodology than the traditional ITU-T grid. The main issue is the requirement for a transmission connect, capable of accommodating and handling a variety of signals with distinct modulation format, baud rate and spectral occupancy. Segmented use of the spectrum could lead to the shortage of availableness of sufficiently extensive spectrum spaces for high bitrate channels, resulting in wavelength contention. On-demand space assignment creates not only deviation from the ideal course but also have spectrum fragmentation, which reduces spectrum resource utilization. This chapter reviewed the recent research development of feasible solutions for the efficient transport of heterogeneous traffic by enhancing the flexibility of the optical layer for performing allocation of network resources as well as implementation of optical node by all optical signal processing in optical fiber communication

TEXTUAL EQUIVALENCE IN THE ARABIC JAVANESE TRANSLATION: CASE STUDY IN AL-HIKAM SUFISM BOOK OF APHORISM

Ibn Athaillah As-Sakandariy is a writter of Al-Hikam. He was Egyptian mystical author and hagiographer. He was a follower of Shafi’i and/or Maliki religious scholar, and also prominent member of the Shadililiya thariqah. The most influential of the 20 d works credited to him is the Book of Aphoristic Wisdom (Kitāb Al-Hikam). This book of aphorism had been translated into Javanese language by MishbāchZainil-Mushthafa Al-BangilaniyAth-Thubaniy. In this Javanese translation book, there are two side of translation, literal and free translation. This article will investigate the textual equivalence between Arabic (L1) and Javanese (L2) in the aphorism book of Al-Hikam. This research had been used the qualitative method. The data will be analyzed by the descriptive method (describing the structure of language). The methods in this research was divided into three basic parts: (1) collecting the data, (2) analysis the data, and (3) reporting the data. Collecting the data had been used the observation method to gain the informations about Theme and Rheme in Arabic-Javanese translation. First problem is about the thematic structure between Arabic and Javanese translation (theme and rheme), or Information structure between L1 and L2 (given and new). The second problem, this article will elaborate the strategies for minimizing linear dislocation in the Aphorsim book of Al-Hikam. There are four strategies for resolving the tension between syntactic and communicative functions in Arabic-Javanese translation, such as: (1) voice change, (2) change of verb, (3) nominalization, and (4) extraposition. Keywords: Textual Equivalence, Arabic-Javanese Translation, Aphorsim, Al-Hikam

WAWASAN HADIS TENTANG NIKAH MUT’AH (Suatu Kajian Mawdhu’iy)

This paper examines the perspectives of marriage of mut'ah with a thematic approach. Elaboration of these issues resulted an understanding of mut’ah is a marriage declared running for a certain time. Mut’ah marriage is also known as the al-nikah al-munqati’ (disconnected marriage) and the al-nikah al-muwaqqat (temporary marriage) which became one models of marriage in the early Islam. In the hadith context relating to mut’ah marriage, indicates that there is a conflict between the hadith allowed mut'ah and hadith forbided mut'ah that all are in valid quality. The author offers two methods of settlement apparently contradictory hadith about marriage of mut'ah namely al-jam'u methods and nasikh-mansukh methods that give different legal implications

The Discourse Perspective of Translation In Representing The Concept of Thā’at: Case Study of The Moral Ethic Book Bidāyatul Hidāyah

Translation is a rendering of form and meaning, but in the other hand, translation also can be defined as the rendering of message (amanah) from the source/start text into target text. This research elaborate the Arabic – Javanese translation text. Arabic is the source language (L1) and Javanese is the target language (L2). The material object selected was the book of Bidāyatul-Hidāyah (Islamic Moral Ethic) written by Imam Al-Ghazali. This research investigate the personal image of Imam Al-Ghazali using the discourse perspective of translation. There are two basics problems in this research, (1) the translation of units language in the book of Bidāyatul Hidāyah in representing the concept of loyalty (thā’at) using the discourse perspective of translation, and (2) the concept of loyalty based on Imam Al-Ghazali in the book of Bidāyatul Hidāyah. The method had been divided into three basic steps: collecting the data using the observation method, analysis data related with the distributional method, and reporting the data. The result had been concluded that Imam al Ghazali’method to delivering the concept of loyalty (thā’at) message was the balancing between fiqh and sufism.Copyright (c) 2017 by KARSA.
