Abstract: This study was designed to assess practice and challenges of industries Participation in implementation of occupational competency assessment in Addis Ababa. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used to achieve the objective of the study. Multi stage cluster sampling and Purposive sampling under non-probability sampling method was employed. The data were gathered using different data collection techniques which includes, survey, focus group discussion, key informant interview and in-depth interview. Data collected through various techniques were analyzed thematically. Study result of this research indicated that the current practice of industries participation in occupational competency assessment is too low. Industries practice and involvement in occupational competence assessment process in Addis Ababa is found very poor due to many factors. The finding indicated that, even though majority of manufacturing industries and hotels experts insured their competency by OCACC, significant number of employee was not certified. Low level of awareness/understanding about OCCAC, limited efforts of OCCAC and other stakeholders in rising awareness about the significance of active involvement of industries in occupational competence assessment process, high employee turnover, industries high emphasis on daily production, high interest of industries to employ unqualified and low skilled employees for wage purpose are some of the challenges that limit industries from active participation on occupational competence assessment process. Industries consider participation in an Implementation of Occupational Competency assessment as losing their production time and material. As a result, industries poor involvement in occupational competence assessment process has a great influence in creating quality assessment process and getting equipped and qualified experts for the industry sector.

Abstract: Recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, the technology of software and hardware changes with each passing day. In order to pursue the economic interest, many software systems which contains fatal flaws are always come into use untimely. Although many software developers have involved a tremendous lot of work to make the life cycle of their software systems long enough. However, the law is strong but the outlaws are ten times stronger. In order to be able to illegally use software related charging functions, hackers improve their illegal cracking techniques. in the process of confronting software protection technology As many software developers only focus on the implementation of software system functions, they overlooked the software encryption protection and reverse cracking. Therefore, in the preliminary stage of studying software protection, researchers developed some relatively useful professional software encryption protection program (Shell for short). However, with the development of cracking techniques, even the strong shell ASProtect which uses powerful encryption algorithms such as Twofish, TEA, Blowfish, and the combination of CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) and anti-debugging techniques can be removed by using the free OllyDbg dynamic tracking shell after the disassembly code. Using the stack balance principle to find the shell before the program execution entrance, then combining the powerful functions of LoadPE tool to import table, import address table and relocation table. Presently, VMProtect and driver protection technology are two most important ways to protect software. However, VMProtect will need large amount of code in order to build virtual machines which will act as decoders of bytecode - code generated to protect software. For the same reason, efficiency of executing software protected by VMProtect is very low. This article will introduce current state of software protection and give suggestions to limitation found in current application.

Abstract: DUAL measurements were taken from Child A, Child B, and Child C, respectively paired with their nursery teacher, to visualize any mental interactions with the teacher. The authors adopted finger pulse waves as a piece of biological data and used DUAL measurement to calculate mental flexibility (Largest Lyapunov Exponent: LLE) and autonomic nerve balance (ANB). Subjects are child with reactive attachment disorder (RAD; Child A), child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; Child B), and control child (CC; Child C). As for Child A, there was correlation between the LLE of parallel measurement and the LLE of face-to-face measurement (r=0.91 (p=0.03)). As for Child B, there was correlation between the ANB of parallel measurement and the ANB of face-to-face measurement (r=0.93 (p=0.01)). As for Child C, there was a negative correlation between the ANB of parallel measurement and the LLE of parallel measurement (r=-0.89 (p=0.01)). There were no changes in the mental fluctuations of RAD, despite changes in situation between parallel measurement and face-to-face measurement. It can be said that tendencies in mental fluctuations that occur by interaction with other people are constant between parallel measurement and face-to-face measurement. In conclusion, regarding RAD, this study observed mental fluctuations shown in LLE, and regarding ASD, this study observed autonomic nerve balance shown in ANB. This study observed a relationship between the autonomic nerve balance shown in ANB and the mental fluctuations shown in LLE. This led to the understanding that an interrelation of ANB and LLE is related to the communication of the control child when parallel. In terms of the mechanism of communicative ability, a mental factor is relevant for RAD, while autonomic nerve balance is relevant for ASD. In addition, it is ANB and LLE that have relevance for CC. We would like to conduct further research to track mental states of children with reactive attachment disorder and autism spectrum disorder, by using finger pulse waves data as relevant biological information.
