This research study aims to investigate security risks associated with Android smartphones and propose an effective defense framework. A survey was conducted to understand how users perceive security threats and what controls they use. Existing defenses tackle specific issues like access control but are small-scale. The proposed system would detect viruses, worms and Trojans in real-time, identifying top threats and alerting users to prevent breaches and attacks revealing personal information. It would contribute to securing the confidential data contained on Android devices.
Smartphone Ownage: The state of mobile botnets and rootkitsJimmy Shah
Symbian Botnet? Mobile Linux Rootkits? iPhone Botnets? Millions of phones at risk? The press coverage on smart phone threats is at times somewhat accurate, distant, and occasionally (if unintentionally) misleading. They tend to raise questions such as: How close to PC levels (100,000+ to millions of nodes) have mobile botnets reached? Have mobile rootkits reached the complexity of those on the PC?
This talk covered the state of rootkits and botnets on smart phones from the perspective of anti-malware researchers, including demystification of the threat from mobile rootkits and mobile botnets, the differences (if any) between mobile rootkits and mobile botnets vs. their PC counterparts, and a look at how samples seen in the wild and researcher PoCs function.
This presentation gives an overview of various security issues in mobile phones having different operating systems. Ways to avoid spamming and malware in our mobile phones are also presented.
eScan, one of the leading Anti-Virus and Content Security Solution providers, has studied on a recent poll that says 32% of the top IT professionals agreed that data breaches and malware are the top threats that any organization faces.

Review on mobile threats and detection techniquesijdpsjournal
Since last-decade, smart-phones have gained widespread usage. Mobile devices store personal details
such as contacts and text messages. Due to this extensive growth, smart-phones are attracted towards
cyber-criminals. In this research work, we have done a systematic review of the terms related to malware
detection algorithms and have also summarized behavioral description of some known mobile malwares
in tabular form. After careful solicitation of all the possible methods and algorithms for detection of
mobile-based malwares, we give some recommendations for designing future malware detection algorithm
by considering computational complexity and detection ration of mobile malwares.
ANDROID UNTRUSTED DETECTION WITH PERMISSION BASED SCORING ANALYSISijitcs
Android smart phone is one of the fast growing mobile phones and because of these it the one of the most preferred target of malware developer. Malware apps can penetrate the device and gain privileges in which it can perform malicious activities such reading user contact, misusing of private information such as sending SMS and can harm user by exploiting the users private data which is stored in the device. The study is about implementation of detecting untrusted on android applications, which would be the basis of all future development regarding malware detection.
The smartphone users worldwide are not aware of the permissions as the basis of all malicious activities that could possibly operate in an android system and may steal personal and private information. Android operating system is an open system in which users are allowed to install application from any unsafe sites. However permission mechanism of and android system is not enough to guarantee the invulnerability of the application that can harm the user. In this paper, the permission scoring-based analysis that will scrutinized the installed permission and allows user to increase the efficiency of Android permission to inform user about the risk of the installed Android application, in this paper, the framework that would classify the level of sensitivity of the permission access by the application. The framework uses a formula that will calculate the sensitivity level of the permission and determine if the installed application is untrusted or not. Our result show that, in a collection of 26 untrusted application, the framework is able to correct and determine the application's behavior consistently and efficiently.
A Systematic Review of Android Malware Detection TechniquesCSCJournals
Malware detection is a significant key to Android application security. Malwares threat to Android users is increasing day by day. End users need security because they use mobile device to communicate information. Therefore, developing malware detection and control technology should be a priority. This research has extensively explored various state of the art techniques and mechanisms to detect malwares in Android applications by systematic literature review. It categorized the current researches into static, dynamic and hybrid approaches. This research work identifies the limitation and strength current research work. According to the restrictions of current malware detection technologies, it can conclude that detection technologies that use statistical analysis consume more time, energy and resources as compare to machine learning techniques. The results obtained from this research work reinforce the assertion that detection approaches designed for Android malware do not produce 100% efficient detection accuracy.

The number of devices running with the Android operating system has been on the rise. By the end of 2012, it will account for nearly half of the world's smartphone market. Along with its growth, the importance of security has also risen. A proportional increase in the number of vulnerabilities is also happening to the extent that there are a limited number of security applications available to protect these devices. The efficacies of these applications have not been empirically established.

ABSTRACT
Shoreline monitoring is important to overcome the problems in the measurement of the shoreline. Recently,
many researchers have directed attention to methods of predicting shoreline changes by the use of
multispectral images. However, the images being captured tend to have several problems due to the weather.
Therefore, identification of multi class features which includes vegetation and shoreline using multispectral
satellite image is one of the challenges encountered in the detection of shoreline. An efficient framework
using the near infrared–histogram equalisation and improved filtering method is proposed to enhance the
detection of the shoreline in Tanjung Piai, Malaysia, by using SPOT-5 images. Sub-pixel edge detection and
the Wallis filter are used to compute the edge location with the subpixel accuracy and reduce the noise. Then,
the image undergoes image classification process by using Support Vector Machine. The proposed method
performed more effectively and reliable in preserving the missing line of the shoreline edge in the SPOT-5
images.
ABSTRACT
Smartphones are used by billions of people that means the applications of the smartphone is increasing, it is out of control for applications marketplaces to completely validate if an application is malicious or legitimate. Therefore, it is up to users to choose for themselves whether an application is safe to use or not. It is important to say that there are differences between mobile devices and PC machines in resource management mechanism, the security solutions for computer malware are not compatible with mobile devices. Consequently, the anti-malware organizations and academic researchers have produced and proposed many security methods and mechanisms in order to recognize and classify the security threat of the Android operating system. By means of the proposed methods are different from one to another, they can be arranged into various classifications. In this review paper, the present Android security threats is discussed and present security proposed solutions and attempt to classify the proposed solutions and evaluate them.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Research in progress defending android smartphones from malware attacks
1. Research in Progress- Defending Android Smartphones
from Malware Attacks
ABSTRACT:
Smartphones are becoming enriched with confidential information due to their
powerful computational capabilities and attractive communications features. The
Android smartphone is one of the most widely used platforms by businesses and
users alike. This is partially because Android smartphones use the free, open-
source Linux as the underlying operating system, which allows development of
applications by any software developer. This research study aims to explore
security risks associated with the use of Android smartphones and the sensitive
information they contain; the researcher devised a survey questionnaire to
investigate and further understand security threats targeting Android smartphones.
The survey also intended to study the scope of malware attacks targeting Android
phones and the effectiveness of existing defense measures. The study surveyed the
average Android users as the target population to understand how they perceive
security and what security controls they use to protect their smartphones.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
A focused review of the literature reveals that there have been many protection
strategies offered for securing smartphones and ensuring user privacy; however,
2. most of those endeavors are small-scale and tackle particular areas of protection,
such as access control and anomaly detection.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:
Malware attacks on smartphones were generally “proof of concept” attempts to
break to the phone’s system and cause damage. However, the new generation of
smartphone malware attacks has increased in sophistication and is designed to
cause severe financial losses (caused by identity theft) and disruption of critical
software applications.
Most of those endeavors are small-scale and tackle particular areas of protection,
such as access control and anomaly detection.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
The primary goal of this research study is to investigate security risks associated
with the use of Android smartphones and then propose to design an effective,
realtime, integrated defense framework for Android smartphones. This study will
contribute to identifying top security threats facing Android phones and the
confidential information they contain.
3. ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:
The proposed solution will detect attacks (viruses, worms, and Trojan horses) and
prompt users to take actions to prevent breaches; any suspicious activity that may
reveal personal information to third parties or unknown entities will be reported to
users to prevent potential attacks.
