It is obvious that a paper on this subject cannot possibly deal with all of the great wealth of material that is available. Therefore, it is necessary to narrow the material down to a more specific subject that will be of interest and value to the greatest possible number of people that are gathered here.

Survey Courses

Instructors teaching undergraduate survey courses in management are faced with a dilemma: How to balance the wide scope of such a course with the desire to cover each topic in sufficient depth to make the material meaningful and useful. The specific subject area in focus here is international differences in work-related values. This exercise addresses two critical takeaways for management students getting a “first look” at this complex topic: (1) How do values differences between national cultures influence employee behavior? (2) How might observed differences in behavior lead to misperceptions and problems for an expatriate manager?

Intelligent Assistant

Nowadays distance education helps when no other traditional possibility is allowed. But is it a good alternative to replace entirely the traditional education? Could it provide at least the same level of quality or it brings problems that we are not prepared for? The paper presents an observation of a problem with keeping students focused on their education – constant dropping of engagement and unintentional loss of attention during situation of distance learning. Appling measures to keep students’ attraction led to the need of some aspects’ automation – a model for a new intelligent assistant, software agent, was developed, along with the current ones in the existing system. This assistant will create profiles of students, helping with personalized tracking of each student’s progress in specific subject, recommending topics to improve knowledge and fill knowledge gaps. It will “live” in the extension of an existing system and cooperate with other agents to accomplish its goals, proactively assisting in students’ learning aspects, as well as teachers’ efforts to prepare better and more suitable educational materials.

Available Information

Because of a longstanding interest in the subject, I began to read this small book with some enthusiasm which, however, soon turned to disinterest and finally faded into boredom. It is not unreasonable, I believe, to require that a monograph on a specific subject should illuminate it, summarize and analyze available information, and offer perhaps some new insights or interpretation. This volume accomplishes none of these goals. In a rather pedantic manner, it winds its way through the various congenital infections; the information presented is usually less complete than that which can readily be found in any of several recent journal or monograph series reviews.

Experiment and Quantification of Weight: Late-Renaissance and Early Modern Medical, Mineralogical and Chemical Discussions on the Weights of Metals

Changing Role

Abstract This paper explores how a set of observations on the weight of lead were interpreted and assessed between the 1540s and the 1630s across three different interconnecting disciplines: medicine, mineralogy and chemistry. The epistemic import of these discussions will be demonstrated by showing: 1) the changing role and articulation of experience and quantification in the investigation of metals; and 2) the notions associated with weight in different disciplinary frameworks. In medicine and mineralogy, weight was not considered as a specific subject of inquiry in itself, but as a “sign” indicating other relevant properties of metals. In contrast, the chemistry tradition was increasingly concerned with the specific investigation of weight as a property of matter, as seen in the debates that took place in the “chemical revolution.” In addition, this study will reveal the versatility, polysemy, and parallel purposes of the recourse to experiential knowledge in different contexts, where the same “facts” operate within different disciplines.

Prime Function

As this critical level of the taxonomy, technology integration provides for “teaching with technology.” In the previous chapter, infused technologies centered on learning. At level 5.0, the focus is on “creating new technology-based materials by combining various technologies to teach.” Within an effective educational setting, technology becomes an enabling tool for teaching and takes many forms at this level of the taxonomy. A prime function of integrated technologies is to provide learners with knowledge of specific subject areas. Traditionally, students learn from technologies used as delivery tools to communicate messages just as they learn from teachers. But at this level of the taxonomy, learners will create “new technology-based materials, combining otherwise disparate technologies to teach.”

Essential Function

This chapter examines the interaction between trade mark law and the principles of free movement of goods in the EU. It discusses the concepts of essential function and specific subject matter which the CJEU uses to distinguish between what amounts to pro-competitive use of the trade mark, which the Treaty encourages, and anti-competitive abuse of the trade mark rights, which the Treaty prohibits. The essential function looks at this from a theoretical perspective, whilst the specific subject matter translates this in more practical guidelines. The chapter then turns cases and heated debates arising from parallel importation, which essentially focus on the relabelling and repackaging of parallel-traded goods.

The article discusses one of the new applied areas in psychology, which is the non-instrumental diagnosis of lie, i.e.profiling. Currently, one of the new applied areas in psychology is profiling. Modern profiling includes knowledge, abilities, and skills (hereinafter, KAS), developed on the basis of the achievements of contemporary Psychological Science, a clear affiliation to a specific subject. The basis of integrative psychotechnology is a complex of knowledge in Psychological Sciences, where the object of general knowledge is the personality, his/her features, behavior, and general psychological laws of organizing purposeful activity. The authors come to the conclusion that profiling is an area of theoretical, methodological, integrated, scientifically grounded knowledge in related disciplines of Psychological Science.

Twitter Account

Social media has become very popular and important in people’s lives, as personal ideas, beliefs and opinions are expressed and shared through them. Unfortunately, social networks, and specifically Twitter, suffer from massive existence and perpetual creation of fake users. Their goal is to deceive other users employing various methods, or even create a stream of fake news and opinions in order to influence an idea upon a specific subject, thus impairing the platform’s integrity. As such, machine learning techniques have been widely used in social networks to address this type of threat by automatically identifying fake accounts. Nonetheless, threat actors update their arsenal and launch a range of sophisticated attacks to undermine this detection procedure, either during the training or test phase, rendering machine learning algorithms vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Our work examines the propagation of adversarial attacks in machine learning based detection for fake Twitter accounts, which is based on AdaBoost. Moreover, we propose and evaluate the use of k-NN as a countermeasure to remedy the effects of the adversarial attacks that we have implemented.
