Wisdom is Elimination of Hunger

Hunger is more cruel then other tragedies. Saint Ramalingar loudly said to the enlightened world that ‘Seevakarunyam’ is spiritual contribution to elimination of hunger of another soul. He has said happyness and sorrow belong only to the soul, not for the body. So hunger suppresses wisdom of soul. It is not a crime to satisfy the hunger of sinners. Humans have the power to feel the hunger of others. Therefore, the primary task of Vallalaar is to satisfy the hunger of fellow human beings. Also Vallalaar insists on eating meat and donating it to others. Because he considers eating meat to be against spiritual wisdom and spirituality. Diferrences of nation, caste and creed are not important for elimination of hunger of others. It is our duty to quench the hunger of fellow human beings. A mind devoid of debit will cure hunger. Thus wisdom is the realization of oneself by others.

Active Working Memory and Simple Cognitive Operations

Working memory is thought to serve as a buffer for ongoing cognitive operations, even in tasks that have no obvious memory requirements. This conceptualization has been supported by dual-task experiments, in which interference is observed between a primary task involving short-term memory storage and a secondary task that presumably requires the same buffer as the primary task. Little or no interference is typically observed when the secondary task is very simple. Here, we test the hypothesis that even very simple tasks require the working memory buffer, but interference can be minimized by using activity-silent representations to store the information from the primary task. We tested this hypothesis using dual-task paradigm in which a simple discrimination task was interposed in the retention interval of a change detection task. We used contralateral delay activity (CDA) to track the active maintenance of information for the change detection task. We found that the CDA was massively disrupted after the interposed task. Despite this disruption of active maintenance, we found that performance in the change detection task was only slightly impaired, suggesting that activity-silent representations were used to retain the information for the change detection task. A second experiment replicated this result and also showed that automated discriminations could be performed without producing a large CDA disruption. Together, these results suggest that simple but non-automated discrimination tasks require the same processes that underlie active maintenance of information in working memory.

Creation and evaluation of the source material for the selection of erectoid forms of corn

Scientific publications of domestic and foreign scientists are analyzed, new approaches to solving the problem of obtaining the original breeding material of corn are identified. The necessity of creation of lines and hybrids of culture with erectile arrangement of a leaf plate is substantiated. It is confirmed that the primary task of the selection process is to group the collection of samples and obtain starting materials for heterosis selection, in particular, on the basis of CSF. To expand genetic diversity and reduce the period of creation of the original forms, it is advisable to use biotechnological methods. Stable production of corn grain is possible in the presence of hybrids with high potential productivity, resistance to pests, diseases, unfavorable environmental factors that meet the modern requirements of intensive technology. A clear understanding of the improved morphological and physiological type of plants and the elucidation of the biological reasons that limit their productivity in certain environmental conditions, contribute to an increase in the efficiency of using corn hybrids and the profitability of agricultural production. When creating hybrids, it is critical to select the parent components that will ensure their high performance. To conduct heterotic selection, the presence of homozygous lines is necessary. Currently, in order to achieve significant success in maize breeding, great attention must be paid to the creation of new starting material with a wide genetic diversity and in particular with an erectoid placement of the leaf plate. The necessity of creating lines and hybrids of culture with erectoid placement of the leaf plate is substantiated. It was confirmed that the primary task of the breeding process is grouping the collection of samples and obtaining initial materials for conducting heterotic breeding, in particular, based on CMS. To expand genetic diversity and shorten the period for creating initial forms, it is advisable to use biotechnological methods.

Aging impairs primary task resumption and attentional control processes following interruptions

Attentional selection of working memory content is impaired after an interruption. This effect was shown to increase with age. Here we investigate how electrophysiological mechanisms underlying attentional selection within working memory differ during primary task resumption between younger and older adults. Participants performed a working memory task, while be-ing frequently interrupted with either a cognitively low- or high-demanding arithmetic task. Afterwards, a retrospective cue (retro-cue) indicated the working memory content required for later report. The detrimental effect of the interruption was evident in both age groups, but while younger adults were more strongly affected by a high- than by a low-demanding inter-ruption, the performance deficit appeared independently of the cognitive requirements of the interruption task in older adults. A similar pattern was found regarding frontal-posterior con-nectivity in the theta frequency range, suggesting that aging decreases the ability to selectively maintain relevant information within working memory. The power of mid-frontal theta oscilla-tions (4-7 Hz) featured a comparable effect of interruptions in both age groups. However, pos-terior alpha power (8-14 Hz) following the retro-cue was more diminished by a preceding in-terruption in older adults. These results suggest an age-related deficit in the attentional selec-tion and maintenance of primary task information following an interruption that appeared in-dependent from the cognitive requirements of the interrupting task.

The Evaluation of Online Persuasion Criteria on E-Commerce Website using Persuasive System Design (PSD) Model

Persuasive technology in online shopping is proven to assist people while purchasing online. It is crucial to study how was the implementation of such successful persuasive technology in the e-commerce domain. Also, there are certain marketing strategies against consumers from different generational cohorts. Each generation has unique lifestyles, generational history, demographics, experiences, expectations and values that influence their buying behaviours. The persuasive design of e-commerce websites is related to the website conversion rate and is shown to support people throughout the online purchasing process. The objective of this research study is to evaluate the online persuasion criteria on two largest e-commerce websites in Malaysia; Lazada and Shopee through Persuasive System Design (PSD) principles. The four main categories of design technique applied in PSD are primary task support, dialogue support, credibility support and social support. The result shows that both selected e-commerce websites have applied 71.43% of the PSD principles. The most emphasize design technique in Lazada and Shopee is primary task support, followed by dialogue support. Most of the persuasive features in this model has implemented in both e-commerce websites. However, this research proved that the success of the e-commerce websites is related with the implemented persuasive feature which can be manipulated and implemented by other e-commerce websites.

Harnessing the Challenges and Solutions to Improve Security Warnings: A Review

The security warning is a representation of communication that is used to warn and to inform a person whether security menaces have been discovered in order to prevent any consequences of damage from taking place. The purpose of a security warning is to provide a legitimate alert (to notify and to warn) to the users so that a secure manner of action is safely conducted. It is worth noting that the majority of computer users prefer to dismiss security warnings due to lack of attention, the use of technical words, and the deficiency of information provided. This paper determines to achieve two outcomes: firstly, a thorough review of problems, challenges, and approaches to improving security warnings. Our work complements the previous classifications in the identification of problems and challenges in security warnings by value-adding a new classification, namely immersion in the primary task. Then, we add other related works within the known classifications accordingly. In addition, our work also presents the classifications of approaches to improving security warnings. Secondly, we propose two timelines by addressing the problems, challenges, and approaches to improving security warnings. It is expected that the outcomes of this research will be useful to researchers within the niche area for analysing trends and providing the groundwork in security warning studies, respectively.
