Educational resilience of unaccompanied and separated children by Aleghfeli, YK

“…</p> <p><strong>Novelty and Improvement:</strong></p> <p>The dissertation reveals that educational resilience development among UASCs can be conceptualized as a combination of intermental activities (between the UASC and their environment) and intramental activities (within the UASC), where having supportive relationships at home, school, and community facilitates UASCs to transition over time from their zone of proximal resilience development to their level of actual resilience development. …”

CipherTrace: automatic detection of ciphers from execution traces by Hassanin, MA

“…Generally, the detection and identification of cryptographic functions, routines, or algorithms facilitates malware analysis and forensics. However, most of the attempts presented in the literature have basically followed a top-down approach, which (by design) has limited them, as they are mainly focused on detecting certain implementations, rather than the building blocks, elements, or ingredients of cryptography in general. …”
