Cybersecurity Teaching in Higher Education

This book collects state-of-the-art curriculum development considerations, training methods, techniques, and best practices, as well as cybersecurity lab requirements and aspects to take into account when setting up new labs, all based on hands-on experience in teaching cybersecurity in higher education.In parallel with the increasing number and impact of cyberattacks, there is a growing demand for cybersecurity courses in higher education. More and more educational institutions offer cybersecurity courses, which come with unique and constantly evolving challenges not known in other disciplines. For example, step-by-step guides may not work for some of the students if the configuration of a computing environment is not identical or similar enough to the one the workshop material is based on, which can be a huge problem for blended and online delivery modes. Using nested virtualization in a cloud infrastructure might not be authentic for all kinds of exercises, because some of its characteristics can be vastly different from an enterprise network environment that would be the most important to demonstrate to students. The availability of cybersecurity datasets for training and educational purposes can be limited, and the publicly available datasets might not suit a large share of training materials, because they are often excessively documented, but not only by authoritative websites, which render these inappropriate for assignments and can be misleading for online students following training workshops and looking for online resources about datasets such as the Boss of the SOC (BOTS) datasets. The constant changes of Kali Linux make it necessary to regularly update training materials, because commands might not run the same way they did a couple of months ago. The many challenges of cybersecurity education are further complicated by the continuous evolution of networking and cloud computing, hardware and software, which shapes student expectations: what is acceptable and respected today might be obsolete or even laughable tomorrow.

Cynicism and Christianity in Antiquity

Was Jesus a Cynic? Cynicism and Christianity in Antiquity is a literary tour de force analyzing and refuting the hypothesis that Jesus was a Cynic. Marie-Odile Goulet-Cazé examines the arguments submitted by some New Testament scholars who believe that Jesus and his disciples were influenced by the ethics and social behaviors of itinerant Cynic preachers. In examining the “Cynic Jesus hypothesis,” Goulet-Cazé offers a reliable, accessible, and fully documented summary of Cynicism and its ideas, from Diogenes to the Imperial Period, and she investigates the extent and nature of contact between Cynics and Jewish people, especially between 100 BCE and 100 CE. While recognizing similarities between the ideas and morals of ancient Cynicism and those evident in early Christian movements, Goulet-Cazé identifies more significant, fundamental differences between them in culture, theology, and worldview.

D-scoring Method of Measurement: Classical and Latent Frameworks (Quantitative Methodology Series)

D-scoring Method of Measurement presents a unified framework of classical and latent measurement referred to as D-scoring method of measurement (DSM). Provided are detailed descriptions of DSM procedures and illustrative examples of how to apply the DSM in various scenarios of measurement. The DSM is designed to combine merits of the traditional CTT and IRT for the purpose of transparency, ease of interpretations, computational simplicity of test scoring and scaling, and practical efficiency, particularly in large-scale assessments. Through detailed descriptions of DSM procedures, this book shows how practical applications of such procedures are facilitated by the inclusion of operationalized guidance for their execution using the computer program DELTA for DSM-based scoring, equating, and item analysis of test data. In doing so, the book shows how DSM procedures can be readily translated into computer source codes for other popular software packages such as R. D-scoring Method of Measurement equips researchers and practitioners in the field of educational and psychological measurement with a comprehensive understanding of the DSM as a unified framework of classical and latent scoring, equating, and psychometric analysis.

Dagboek van Julia Jones - Boek 1 'Mijn ergste dag ooit!' (Dagboek van Julia Jones #1)

Het laatste wat ik mij herinner is de blik van afschuw op de gezichten van het publiek. Maar ik voelde me het meest vernederd toen ik Blake Jansen zag, de coolste jongen uit onze klas, die me vol ongeloof aanstaarde. Als ik aan die avond denk schaam ik me nog steeds. Iedereen zei dat ik geluk heb gehad, omdat ik er alleen maar een lichte hersenschudding en een enorme bult op mijn hoofd aan over heb gehouden. Maar het ongemak dat ik voelde omdat ik het lachtertje van de hele school was, stond vers in mijn geheugen gegrift. Ik probeer die hele dag te vergeten, het voor altijd uit mijn geheugen te wissen, maar nu komt het steeds terug en jaagt het achter me aan. Sukkel met een hoofdletter S! Ik geloof nog steeds niet alles wat er is gebeurd op die noodlottige dag. Als het alleen maar een nachtmerrie was kon ik gewoon wakker worden en er nooit meer aan denken. Maar helaas is dat niet het geval! Mam zegt dat de tijd alle wonden heelt en dat iedereen het incident waarschijnlijk allang is vergeten, maar ik denk dat het nog heel lang duurt voordat ik eroverheen ben. Op de één of andere manier verdenk ik dat ene meisje uit de klas ervan dat ze er iets mee te maken had. Noem het een onderbuikgevoel, maar ik heb een donkerbruin vermoeden dat ze erbij betrokken was.
