Context: In today's society virus makers have a large set of obfuscation tools to avoid classic signature detection used by antivirus software. Therefore there is a need to identify new and obfuscated viruses in a better way. One option is to look at the behaviour of a program by executing the program in a virtual environment to determine if it is malicious or benign. This approach is called dynamic heuristic analysis. Objectives: In this study a new heuristic dynamic analysis tool for detecting unknown malware is proposed. The proposed implementation is evaluated against state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy. Methods: The proposed implementation uses Cuckoo sandbox to collect the behavior of a software and a decision tree to classify the software as either malicious or benign. In addition, the implementation contains several custom programs to handle the interaction between the components. Results: The experiment evaluating the implementation shows that an accuracy of 90% has been reached which is higher than 2 out of 3 state-of-the-art software. Conclusions: We conclude that an implementation using Cuckoo and decision tree works well for classifying malware and that the proposed implementation has a high accuracy that could be increased in the future by including more samples in the training set.

Digital marketing is becoming more influential for businesses and along with it so does digital marketing tools. To make digital marketing tools useful for new users and businesses, they should be easy to use and allow for a good user experience. By analysing the digital marketing tool ‘Digital Plattform’ by Digital Marknadsplan, this study examines how to make design suggestions to improve user experience by using theories in interaction design and insights from user tests that highlights common issues. It turns out there are common issues that has been highlighted trough a heuristic analysis and a thematic analysis. Some issues include a lack of feedback and information along with general inconsistencies. By providing design suggestions to these issues, they could be targeted directly and therefore improving the user experience for new potential users. The results of this study could also be argued to be applicable to other digital marketing tools in improving their user experience for new users.

Os princípios teóricos sobre recomendações para o desenvolvimento de sites apresentam-se amplamente disponíveis, mas a aplicação destes, verificados com ferramentas especializadas, continuam sendo fundamentais para o alcance da efetiva usabilidade. O presente estudo objetivou testar a ferramenta CMS (Content Management System) durante o desenvolvimento de um site institucional do Programa de Pós-graduação em design da Universidade Estadual Paulista, visando ao melhoramento de sua usabilidade. Os procedimentos metodológicos caracterizaram-se por cinco etapas, iniciando-se pela revisão teórica e seguindo por aplicações laboratoriais e de simulações práticas, as quais se caracterizaram pela evolução alternada de etapas de análise, desenvolvimento de protótipo, e reanálise, resultando em um protótipo final. Esses resultados foram considerados satisfatórios, pois foi verificado que a aplicação de ferramentas CMS no desenvolvimento de sites institucionais melhora seus níveis de usabilidade. Entretanto, a principal contribuição do presente estudo está na conquista de novos conhecimentos decorrentes dos experimentos realizados, bem como no incremento dos temas ligados ao design de interfaces, à usabilidade e à ergonomia informacional, os quais colaboram de forma efetiva para o desenvolvimento do design ergonômico / Abstract: The interfaces of institutional sites must be based on usability principles, whose purpose is to ensure the security, efficient and effective information to audiences and their users.

This study aimed to test the CMS tool (Content Management System) during the development of an institutional site of the Graduate Program in Design at the Universidade Estadual Paulista intended to improve its usability. The methodological procedures were characterized by five steps, starting by the review theory and following by laboratory applications and practices simulations, which were characterized by alternating stages of development testing, prototype development, and reanalysis, resulting in a final prototype. These results were considered satisfactory, because it was verified that the use of CMS tools in the development of institucional sites improved their levels of usability.

Many people in Western culture experience systemic separation from an intimacy with the natural world and as a result, suffer a disconnection from their own natures. As an educator, my interest in the epistemological and ecological implications of nature-based, reflective learning as a form of initiation into maturity and calling led me to explore how education might create the conditions for consciously turning around the whole human with potential for turning around the whole world. Drawing from insights and wisdom from depth psychology, ecopsychology, mythology, philosophy, the poetic traditions, literature, spiritual practices, and curriculum studies, and by adopting Jung’s psychology of individuation as a theoretical backbone for this body of work, I sought to fully flesh out and discover how we might reclaim and embody our original human wholeness (our individuated natures), and how education might be a catalyst for this. I have organized this study in such a way as to align with three central themes found universally in all rites of passage and that mirror my own heuristic research journey, namely: the separation, the threshold experience, and the return. In the separation stage, I offer an historical perspective for much of Western culture’s current incongruence with nature. In addition, I provide a critique of how contemporary educational practices with their overt focus on profit-making and careerism further reinforce this dualistic thinking. As a counterbalance, at midpoint of this study, I set forth on my own deep phenomenological threshold-crossing immersions into nature. This research became, in effect, a (re)search of self where surprisingly more of my own calling was revealed to me through the hermeneutics of powerful, wild teachings. At the conclusion, as I (re)turn “from the woods”, my findings are shared (in part) as pedagogical examples of life-enhancing, less codified and embodied practices designed with the whole person—body, mind, and soul—(and earth), in mind that may support students (and teachers) in discovering their particular and deeply fulfilling ways of belonging to and contributing toward a living ecology. A symbolic artifact (a ‘body’ of work) accompanies and completes this work (Figure 3). / Graduate / 0727 / 0525 / 0534 / hilaryjl@telus.net

Participaram do estudo 21 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idades de oito e doze anos, de uma escola pública de Ensino Fundamental de Vitória-ES. A coleta de dados ocorreu em três encontros por dupla, utilizando-se como instrumento o jogo Lig-4 e um protocolo contendo questões e situações-problema. O primeiro encontro foi realizado em duas etapas: uma de aprendizagem e outra de prática do jogo. O segundo em dois momentos, sendo um destinado à prática do jogo e outro à primeira avaliação do nível de análise heurística. No terceiro realizou-se a prática do jogo e a segunda avaliação do nível de análise heurística. Os dados foram analisados por meio de níveis de análise heurística formulados em relação aos Sistemas Cognitivos I e II propostos por Piaget. Entre os resultados, verificou-se que a situação destinada à primeira avaliação e a ampliação da prática do jogo, não possibilitaram uma melhora expressiva no nível de análise heurística dos participantes de ambas as idades na segunda avaliação. No entanto, comparando-se o desempenho das crianças das duas idades, constatou-se que o das de doze anos foi superior ao das de oito anos, sendo que no Sistema Cognitivo I elas alcançaram níveis mais complexos do que no Sistema Cognitivo II. Conclui-se que o jogo Lig-4 mostrou-se adequado para a análise de Sistemas Cognitivos, fornecendo subsídios para trabalhos de avaliação e intervenção / This research has investigated, in a psychogenetic approach, childrens cognitive function aspects through a game of rules based on Piagets theory. Twenty-one children participated in this study, from both genders, ages varying from eight to twelve, from a public elementary school from Vitória ES. Data gathering occurred in three meeting per pair, utilizing the game lig-4 and a protocol containing questions and problem-situations. The first meeting was made in two phases: learning and game practice. The second one, in two moments, being one destined to game practice and, the other one, to the first assessment of heuristic analysis level. On the third meeting there were more game practice and the second assessment on heuristic analysis level. Data was analyzed using heuristic analysis levels formulated in relation to Cognitive Systems I and II proposed by Piaget. Among the results, it was verified that the situation destined to the first assessment and game practice expansion did not offer an expressive improvement on heuristic analysis level in the participants from both ages on the second assessment. However, comparing both participants performances, it was stated that the twelve-year-olds performances was superior than the eight-year-olds , taking in consideration that on Cognitive System I they ve achieved more complex levels than on Cognitive System II. It was concluded that, the game lig-4 was adequate to analyze Cognitive Systems, providing resources for evaluation and intervention jobs
