Increasing the Trustworthiness in the Industrial IoT Networks Through a Reliable Cyberattack Detection Model

The trustworthiness of an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network is an important stakeholder expectation. Maintaining the trustworthiness of such a network is crucial to void the loss of lives. A trustworthy IIoT system combines the security characteristics of IT trustworthiness—safety, security, privacy, reliability, and resilience. Conventional security tools and techniques are not enough to safeguard the IIoT platform due to the difference in protocols, limited upgrade opportunities, mismatch in protocols, and older versions of the operating system used in the industrial system. In this article, we propose to improve the trustworthiness of an IIoT network [i.e., supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network] through a reliable and salable cyberattack detection model. In particular, an ensemble-learning model based on the combination of a random subspace (RS) learning method with random tree (RT) is proposed for detecting cyberattacks of SCADA by using the network traffics from the SCADA-based IIoT platform. The novelty of the proposed model is that it uses the industrial protocol-based network traffic and the RS to solve the sensitivity of irrelevant features and ensemble RT to reduce the overfitting problem, thereby constructs a detection engine based on industrial protocols and achieves high detection rates. The proposed model has been tested over 15 datasets of the SCADA network. Experimental results reveal that the proposed model outperforms conventional detection techniques and, thus, improves the security and related measure of the trustworthiness of the IIoT platform.
Factor associated with health-related quality of life among population in Northern Jordan

Objective: This study aimed to assess health-related quality of life among Jordanians. Design: A cross-sectional design study was conducted at three shopping centers in Northern Jordan. Measures: Respondents were invited to fill a questionnaire assessed quality of life (QoL) using the SF-36 health survey. Results: Data was obtained from 915 Jordanian adults from the public with a mean age of 33.8 years (SD= 28.2). The total SF-36 score for the whole population was 71.2. Significantly, females reported lower SF-36 scores in both physical and emotional health domains (P= <0.001). Furthermore, elderly reported the lowest mean score in physical health scores (P=0.05). Physical health was dramatically affected by having health problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, back pain and asthma (P=0.05). On the other hand, emotional health domain was adversely affected only by monthly income (P<0.001). Conclusions: Quality of life among Jordanian populations is considered fine. Young adults need more concern about their emotional health, which is highly affected by their economic level.
A study on the influence of ergonomics on the prevalence of chronic pain disorders among dentists

The World Health Organization has characterized “workrelated” diseases as multi-factorial to indicate that a number of risk factors (e.g., physical, work organizational, psychosocial, individual, and sociocultural) contribute to causing these diseases. Other factors include poor positioning, genetic predisposition, mental stress, physical conditioning and age-related degeneration. The term-Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)refers to conditions that involve the nerves, tendons, muscles and supporting structures of the body. There is strong evidence that extreme posture during work and high levels of static contraction cause neck pain. There is also some evidence to suggest repetitive movements cause neck pain, shoulder pain and hand and wrist disorders.
In vitro efficacy of act drugs on Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates from Kano and Katsina States, Nigeria

In vitro drug susceptibility profile of Plasmodium falciparum collected between 2012 and 2014 from malaria patients attending some hospitals in Kano and Katsina States was evaluated in this study. This is to provide base line information on current effectiveness of commonly prescribed ACT drugs (Artemether-lumefantrine AL, Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine DHP, Artesunate-amodiaquine AA). Plasmodium falciparum isolates were identified by rapid diagnostic test (malaria HRP2 kit) and microscopic examination of Giemsa stained blood films. One hundred and fifty (150) isolates (90 from kano and 60 collected from katsina) were successfully cultivated. In vitro antimalarial drug sensitivity test was carried out using Schizont growth inhibition assay. Fifty percent inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) were calculated using Hn nonlin software and dose response curves. The results revealed that all the P. falciparum isolates were 100% sensitive to the three ACTs. The geometric mean IC 50 values of the isolates were found to be below the resistance thresholds cut off values as 2.04+0.42nM, 3.67+0.4nM and 4.70+0.43nM for AL, DHP and AA respectively. This suggests that all the ACTs are still efficacious in the treatment of malaria in the two states. Further research is therefore, recommended to confirm these findings using in vivo and molecular approach. Keywords: ACTs, malaria, in vitro , Plasmodium falciparum
Active Surveillance of Influenza A and Other Respiratory Viruses in Children with Influenza-like-illness in Two Seasons.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to asses the surveillance of influenza A/other respiratory viruses and risk factors in hospitalized children with the symptoms of influenza-like illness during two consecutive influenza seasons. METHODOLOGY All children hospitalized with adiagnosis of influenza-like illness had been investigated for Influenza A and other respiratory antigens in pharengeal/nasopharyngeal secretions. RESULTS A total of 132 hospitalized children between December 2013-May 2014 and December 2014-May 2015 were enrolled in this study. At least one respiratory virus was found to be positive by RT-PCR in 78 (59%) patients, influenza A (H3N2) was detected in only 8 (6%) patients. In 54 (41%) patients samples no respiratory viral pathogen was detected and in 70 (53%) patients, one non- influenza A virus was detected. The respiratory viral pathogens detected in decreasing rates were:RSV (n = 46, 35%), HCoV (n = 10, 7.5%), adenovirüs (n = 7, 5%), rhinovirüs (n = 6, 4.5%), HMPV (n = 5, 4%), Influenza B (n = 4, 3%) ve human Bocavirus (n = 2, 1.5%). In 10 patients, coinfection was detected, however none was with H3N2. In the H3N2 (+) group, the following risk factors were identified: age older than three years (p < 0.05), asthma history (p < 0.05) and chronic lung diseases (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Influenza A virus was detected in 6% of hospitalized patients with influenza-like illness. Viruses other then Influenza, especially RSV, can cause similar symptoms compatible with Influenza-like-illness.
Effect of serum from laying hen and antiprolactin drug on egg production of indigenous chicken in Bangladesh

The study was carried out to improve egg production by decreasing the inter sequence pause days in indigenous chicken through the use of antiprolactin agent (Bromocriptine) and serum from laying hen. Sixty indigenous (deshi) chickens of 20-22 weeks of age, were randomly assigned into four groups (A, B, C and D) and each group consisting of 15 hens. Group A designated as control, group B was treated with Bromocriptine orally at a dose of 640 μg/bird/day, group C was treated with serum of laying hen at a dose of 1 ml intramuscularly/bird/day and group D was treated with both serum and Bromocriptine at doses given to group B and C for the period of 15 March, 2015 to 16 June, 2015 and egg production, pause days, prolactin level, hematological parameter and egg qualities were observed. Egg production increased significantly (p<0.05) in all treated groups compared to the non- treated control group and the highest production was recorded in group D. Pause days and prolactin levels decreased significantly (p<0.05) in all treated groups and lowest were recorded in hens of group D. No significant (p>0.05) differences were observed in hematological values among the group of chicken. The present study reveals that combined treatment with Bromocriptine and serum from laying hen increases egg production without affecting the health of indigenous chickens. Asian Australas. J.

Phase transitions and optimal algorithms for semisupervised classifications on graphs: From belief propagation to graph convolution network

We perform theoretical and algorithmic studies for the problem of clustering and semi-supervised classification on graphs with both pairwise relational information and single-point feature information, upon a joint stochastic block model for generating synthetic graphs with both edges and node features. Asymptotically exact analysis based on the Bayesian inference of the underlying model are conducted, using the cavity method in statistical physics. Theoretically, we identify a phase transition of the generative model, which puts fundamental limits on the ability of all possible algorithms in the clustering task of the underlying model. Algorithmically, we propose a belief propagation algorithm that is asymptotically optimal on the generative model, and can be further extended to a belief propagation graph convolution neural network (BPGCN) for semi-supervised classification on graphs. For the first time, well-controlled benchmark datasets with asymptotially exact properties and optimal solutions could be produced for the evaluation of graph convolution neural networks, and for the theoretical understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. In particular, on these synthetic benchmark networks we observe that existing graph convolution neural networks are subject to an sparsity issue and an ovefitting issue in practice, both of which are successfully overcome by our BPGCN. Moreover, when combined with classic neural network methods, BPGCN yields extraordinary classification performances on some real-world datasets that have never been achieved before.
Evaluation of Self-Compacting Concrete Strength with Non-Destructive Tests for Concrete Structures

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) shows to have some specificities when compared to normal vibrated concrete (NVC), namely higher cement paste dosage and smaller volume of coarse aggregates. In addition, the maximum size of coarse aggregates is also reduced in SCC to prevent blocking effect. Such specificities are likely to affect the results of non-destructive tests when compared to those obtained in NVC with similar compressive strength and materials. This study evaluates the applicability of some non-destructive tests to estimate the compressive strength of SCC. Selected tests included the ultrasonic pulse velocity test (PUNDIT), the surface hardness test (Schmidt rebound hammer type N), the pull-out test (Lok-test), and the concrete maturity test (COMA-meter). Seven sets of SCC specimens were produced in the laboratory from a single mixture and subjected to standard curing. The tests were applied at different ages, namely: 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 94 days. The concrete compressive strength ranged from 45 MPa (at 24 h) to 97 MPa (at 94 days). Correlations were established between the non-destructive test results and the concrete compressive strength. A test variability analysis was performed and the 95% confidence limits for the obtained correlations were computed. The obtained results for SCC showed good correlations between the concrete compressive strength and the non-destructive tests results, although some differences exist when compared to the correlations obtained for NVC.

Evaluation of the Factors Affecting the Use of the Central Physician Appointment System

Results: Of all the patients, 49.9% made their appointment via CPAS, and 47.4% made an appointment from a kiosk. CPAS usage was higher among white-collar workers than tradesmen, laborers, housewives, or retirees (p<0.001). As education level and monthly income level increased, the use of CPAS also increased (p<0.001). CPAS was also used more by those who lived in the center of Konya than by those who lived in surrounding rural areas (p<0.001). The patient satisfaction rate was 89.4%.
Where Should We Go? Internet Searches and Tourist Arrivals

The widespread availability of internet search data is a new source of high-frequency information that can potentially improve the precision of macroeconomic forecasting, especially in areas with data constraints. This paper investigates whether travel-related online search queries enhance accuracy in the forecasting of tourist arrivals to The Bahamas from the U.S. The results indicate that the forecast model incorporating internet search data provides additional information about tourist flows over a univariate approach using the traditional autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model and multivariate models with macroeconomic indicators. The Google Trends-augmented model improves predictability of tourist arrivals by about 30 percent compared to the benchmark ARIMA model and more than 20 percent compared to the model extended only with income and relative prices.
Chronic illness and mental strain: the moderating role of marital status over the disease cycle

Chronic conditions are associated with large personal, familial and social costs, and have deleterious effects on individuals’ mental health. Drawing on stress process and life-course theories, we theorise and test whether marital status moderates the relationships between chronic illness and mental health, paying attention to longitudinal dynamics over the disease cycle. Our empirical analyses rely on nationally representative, panel data for Australia (n∼95,000 observations), and fixed-effects regression models. We find that being partnered is associated with less negative consequences of having a chronic condition on mental health, with protective effects being larger amongst individuals in marriages than de facto relationships. There is also evidence of overtime changes in the protective effects of being partnered or married over the disease cycle. While the observed mental health gains associated with being married are relatively small for single individuals, without intervention, their cumulative effects over the population may result in substantial societal costs.
The Relation between Psychological Well Being and Coping Strategies of Cancer's Relatives

Cancer causes changes in the family's identity, roles, and daily functioning. Serious illness of a loved one can disrupt a caregiver’s sense of self and relationships. The aim of the study was to determine the relation between psychological well being and coping strategies of cancer's relatives. Descriptive design was utilized for the current study. The study was conducted at outpatient clinics of Shebin Elkom University hospital In Oncology Department Menoufia Governorate. All cancer's relatives who came to the out patients clinic for follow up of their patients were selected during the period of data collection to be included in this study (100 person). Three instruments were used for data collection (1): Structured interview questionnaire to assess demographic and clinical data (2): The Coping Process Scale (3): Burden Interviews Scale. The results revealed that, there was significant correlation between duration of care giving and feeling burden of the relatives this means when the duration of care giving increases the relative feeling of burden increase. There is significant relation between mental disengagement as emotion focused coping and burden this means when the relative use mental disengagement as emotion focused coping the level of burden will increase. The most coping strategies used was exert of restrain (98%) followed by positive reinterpretation (92%) and 77% for seeking out information. Conclusion: There was negative non significant relation between coping strategies and burden. It means that when coping increase the burden will decrease. Recommendation: Relatives need supporting programs to establish real doctor- patient relationship . Stress management technique can be helpful to relief the family tension.

Mental Health Concerns’ Impact on Graduation Intent and Improvement for Brief Counseling

Three online undergraduate survey samples were collected: not-in-counseling (NIC); initial counseling session (ICS), that is, only triage; and brief counseling (BC), a median of four counseling sessions over an eight-week average. Results showed that mental health concerns significantly explained intent to graduate after controlling for background variables and institutional commitment for the NIC and ICS samples. For the smaller BC sample, composed of freshmen and transfer students or “transitional students,” counseling treatment led to a significant decrease in mental health concerns. For “transitional” students, a university counseling center may be particularly useful in helping these students adjust to their new college environment and persist toward graduation.
Simulation of Microstructure Formation Process in Fe-23Cr-6Ni-3Mo-0.1N Alloy Using Multiphase Field Method

Duplex stainless steels with high nitrogen content offer high strength and excellent corrosion resistance and have been used for a wide variety of applications, such as in chemical tankers and desalination plants. Although the material properties of duplex stainless steel depend on the ferrite/austenite phase balance1), the phase proportion is affected not only by the chemical composition, but also by the cooling rate. Therefore, kinetic analyses of precipitation for the austenite (γ) phase, which has higher nitrogen solubility than ferrite, have previously been conducted2,3). However, this requires the acquisition of substantial amounts of experimental data for each alloy, and a statistical analysis of the data must also be performed. In addition, the composition profile could not be predicted in previous studies, although the nitrogen content in the ferrite phase significantly affects the pitting corrosion resistance in duplex stainless steels4). The authors investigated the microstructure formation process of duplex stainless steel using a liquid-tin quenching method and revealed dendrite growth in the δ-phase and γphase formation by solid-state transformation5,6). Based on these results, the microstructure formation process was simulated in duplex stainless steel using a multiphase field (MPF) method. The simulation results obtained are presented in this paper. The MPF method7,8) was found to be capable of simulating the microstructure formation process in multiphase and polycrystalline systems, as well as analyzing complex microstructure morphology and composition distribution, such as those of dendrites during solidification. The purpose of this study is to simulate the microstructure formation process using the MPF method and to estimate the effect of cooling rate on the formation of γ phases. 2. ANALYSIS METHOD
