Detection and extraction of digital footprints from the iDrive cloud storage using web browser forensics analysis

STorage as a service (STaaS) allows its subscribers the ability to access their stored data with the use of internet enabled digital devices at anywhere, anyplace and anytime. The easy accessibility of cloud storage with digital devices is one of the major benefits of cloud computing but this benefit can also be exploited by cybercriminals to perform various forms of malicious usages. During forensic investigation, forensic examiners are expected to provided evidence in relation to the malicious usages but the physical inaccessibility to the digital artifacts on the cloud servers, the difficulty in retrieving evidential artifacts from various cloud storage services and the difficulty in obtaining forensic logs from the concerned cloud service providers among other factors make it difficult to perform forensic investigations. This paper provided step by step experimental guidelines to extract digital artifacts from Google Chrome and Internet Explorer from Windows 10 personal computer using iDrive cloud storage as a case study. The study used Nirsoft forensic tool to locate the relevant forensic artifacts and an integrated conceptual digital forensic framework was adopted to carry out the investigation. This study increases the knowledge of client forensics using web browser analysis during cloud storage forensic investigation.
PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT AS A TOOL FOR PROMOTING REFLECTION IN TEACHER EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

This paper aims to explore the inextricable link between teaching and learning via the use of portfolios as a form of assessment for pre-service and in-service teachers’ professional practice. Specifically, it reviews the body of literature that conceptualizes and defines reflection and reflective practice in the context of teacher education and examines the portfolio’s role as a conduit for teachers’ reflection and professional transformation. The reviewed literature suggests that the use of the portfolio provides formative assessment while, to some extent, promoting professional development and improved practice via enhanced reflection, although the quality of such reflection may not reach a critical level. With careful attention to the introduction of the portfolio and guided support throughout the portfolio process, the use of portfolio assessment can be valuable in the context of teacher education in the higher education system.
Direction Finding and Likelihood Ratio Detection for Oceanographic HF Radars

Previous work with simulations of oceanographic HF radars has identified possible improvements when using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) for directional-of-arrival (DOA), however methods for determining the number of emitters (here defined as spatially distinct patches of the ocean surface) have not realized these improvements. Here we describe and evaluate the use of the Likelihood Ratio (LR) for emitter detection, demonstrating its application to oceanographic HF radar data. The combined detection-estimation methods MLE-LR are compared with MUSIC and MUSIC parameters for SeaSonde HF radars, along with a method developed for 8-channel systems known as MUSIC-Highest. Results show that the use of MLE-LR produces similar accuracy in terms of the RMS difference and correlation coefficients squared, as previous methods. We demonstrate that improved accuracy can be obtained for both methods, at the cost of fewer velocity observations and decreased spatial coverage. For SeaSondes, accuracy improvements are obtained with less commonly used parameter sets. The MLE-LR is shown to be able to resolve simultaneous closely spaced emitters, which has the potential to improve observations obtained by HF radars operating in complex current environments.
Dosimetric Evaluation of Different Optimization Algorithms Used in Interstitial Brachytherapy of Cervical Carcinoma

Background: Conventional optimization techniques are based on the planning approach in which positions and weights are varied to generate the desired dose distribution. Inverse planning simulated annealing (IPSA) is an advanced optimization method developed to automatically determine a suitable combination of positions to design an acceptable plan. Objective: In this study, three optimization techniques namely IPSA, graphical optimization (GROPT), and geometrical optimization (GOPT) methods are compared in high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy of cervical carcinoma. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, twenty computed tomography (CT) data sets of 10 cervical cancer patients treated with Martinez Universal Perineal Interstitial Template-based interstitial brachytherapy were studied. The treatment plans generated were optimized using the IPSA, and GOPT methods. The prescribed dose was 24 Gy in 4 fractions. Plans produced using IPSA, GrOPT, and GOPT techniques were analyzed for comparison of dosimetric parameters, including target coverage, homogeneity, conformity, and organs at risk (OAR) doses. Results: V100 values for IPSA, GrOPT and GOPT plans were 95.81±2.33%, 93.12±2.76% and 88.90±4.95%, respectively. The mean D90 values for the IPSA, GrOPT, and GOPT plans were 6.45±0.15 Gy, 6.12±0.21 Gy, and 5.85±0.57 Gy, respectively. Significantly lower doses of OAR were in the IPSA plans that were more homogeneous (HI=0.66). Conformity was comparatively higher in IPSA-based plans (CI=0.75). Conclusion: IPSA plans were superior and resulted in better target coverage, homogeneity, conformity, and minimal OAR doses.
FITTING DIGESTIBLE PROTEIN TO DIGESTIBLE ENERGY RATIO IN GROWING RABBITS SELECTED BY GROWTH RATE

Growth rate of rabbits has been improved throughout the years as consequence of genetic selection programmes. However, there is not enough knowledge about the consequences of this progress on the protein requirements of animals. To explore this su bject, two experimental diets, differing in digesti ble protein (DP) to digestible energy (DE) ratio, were valuated in growing rabbits from a paternal line selected by average daily gain during the growing p eriod. Diet L (low DP/DE ratio) was formulated to obtain the current dietary recommendations of PD/DE ratio for fattening rabbits (10.7 g/MJ), while diet H (high DP/DE ratio) had a higher ratio (12.2 g/MJ). A total of 180 weaned rabbits (28 d of age) were divided into two experimental groups and house d in individual cages until the end of the trial (6 3 d of age). Animals fed with diet H showed higher fe ed intake (+12.5 g dry matter/d; P<0.001) and average daily gain (+4.3 g/d; P<0.001) during the e xperimental period than animals fed with diet L. No significant differences in mortality and morbidi ty were observed between diets. However, the results related to the feed conversion ratio were n ot consistent along the growing period. Animals fed with diet H showed better feed conversion rate duri ng the first week of growth ( −0.10; P<0.05), whereas those fed with diet L showed better results during the last two weeks of the trial ( −0.17; P<0.05). These results probably suggest that the pr oper PD/DE ratio for growing rabbits changes with age. In conclusion, the use of a higher DP/DE ratio during the first weeks after weaning could contribute to improve the performance of the curren t growing rabbits, characterised by a high growth rate, without compromising their digestive health s tatus.
Angioedema Indicates a Different Endotype of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria

Objective: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is characterized by urticarial plaques and/or deeply seated swellings (angioedema) persisting for more than 6 weeks. Angioedema accompanies approximately half of CSU patients, however data on the clinical significance of angioedema is sparse. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether CSU cases accompanied by angioedema (CSUwAE) differ from CSU cases without angioedema (CSUwoAE) in terms of clinical features, treatment responses and associated conditions. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively examined the medical records of chronic urticaria patients who were referred to the Urticaria Center of Reference and Excellence of Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital between January 2013 and July 2019, and included CSU patients who had at least 3 months of follow up data and Urticaria Control Test (UCT) scores at the 0 and 12th weeks in the study. We obtained demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patients and the treatments they received from the patient files. We evaluated the effectiveness of treatment using UCT. We compared data between CSUwAE and CSUwoAE cases. Results: A total of 556 CSU patients were included in the study. Of all, 57% was CSUwAE and 43% was CSUwoAE. More CSUwAE patients had a disease duration of more than 5 years (p=0.031); and emergency admission, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug intolerance, autologous serum skin test positivity, and increased C-reactive protein values were found more frequently in CSUwAE cases (p<0.001; p=0.011; p<0.001; p=0.009, respectively). The skin prick test positivity rate was higher in CSUwoAE cases (p=0.043). The overall remission rates were lower in CSUwAE (p=0.009). Resistance to both standard doses of antihistamines and need for third-line treatments were more frequent in CSUwAE (p=0.004; p=0.009, respectively). Conclusion: Angioedema is a feature of antihistamine refractory, severe CSU with longer disease duration and might be an indicator of autoimmune CSU.
Factors Affecting the Intention to Adopt Digital Banking by Digital Saving Customers (Case Study of Syariah Mandiri Bank)

:- This study aims to determine and test the factors influencing banking customer behavior when using the Digital Savings application in Indonesia. These factors are obtained from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) theory, including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, Attitude, perceived behavioral control and added other variables, namely social influence and trust. This type of research is descriptive and verified, so the research method is an explanatory survey. The population is Digital Savings customers in banks that have Digital Savings products in DKI Jakarta. The required sample size is 174 customers, using the Hair formula, with a purposive sampling technique. This research will be tested and analyzed by using multiple linear regression statistical tests. The results showed that three variables influenced the intention to use the Digital Savings application, namely Perceived Usefulness, Attitude, and Trust. While the variables Perceived Easy of Use, Perceived Behavior Control, and Social Influence do not significantly influence the Digital Savings application's intention. However, the intention to use the Digital Savings application can dramatically affect using the Digital Savings application.
Real World Evidence of the Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody Sotrovimab for Preventing Hospitalization and Mortality in COVID-19 Outpatients.

BACKGROUND It is not known whether sotrovimab, a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment authorized for early symptomatic COVID-19 patients, is also effective in preventing the progression of severe disease and mortality following SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant infection. METHODS Observational cohort study of non-hospitalized adult patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection from October 1st 2021 - December 11th 2021, using electronic health records from a statewide health system plus state-level vaccine and mortality data. We used propensity matching to select 3 patients not receiving mAbs for each patient who received outpatient sotrovimab treatment. The primary outcome was 28-day hospitalization; secondary outcomes included mortality and severity of hospitalization. RESULTS Of 10,036 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, 522 receiving sotrovimab were matched to 1,563 not receiving mAbs. Compared to mAb-untreated patients, sotrovimab treatment was associated with a 63% decrease in the odds of all-cause hospitalization (raw rate 2.1% versus 5.7%; adjusted OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.19-0.66) and an 89% decrease in the odds of all-cause 28-day mortality (raw rate 0% versus 1.0%; adjusted OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.0-0.79), and may reduce respiratory disease severity among those hospitalized. CONCLUSION Real-world evidence demonstrated sotrovimab effectiveness in reducing hospitalization and all-cause 28-day mortality among COVID-19 outpatients during the Delta variant phase.
The Effect of Brexit on United Kingdom Productivity: Synthetic Control Analysis

In this paper I analyze the effect of Brexit on United Kingdom labor productivity and its components using a synthetic control methodology. My results show that the Brexit vote had a negative impact on labor productivity, causing GDP per hour worked to decrease by an average of 2.24% per year in comparison to the absence of Brexit. The two components of labor productivity are GDP and hours worked. I find that the decrease in the GDP is more than the increase in hours worked per person, causing the labor productivity to decline.
EFFECT OF CELLOBIOSE SUPPLEMENTATION IN DRINKING WATER AND FEED RESTRICTION ON APPARENT FAECAL DIGESTIBILITY AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE IN RABBITS

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effe ct of cellobiose supplementation in water (CEL) and its potential synergy with feed restriction on feca l digestibility and growth performance. Four treatments in a factorial arrangement were used: 2 levels of CEL (0.0 and 7.5 g/L) × 2 feeding plans (ad libitum and restricted, from 32 to 47 d of age). A total o f 236 32-d old rabbits weighing 700 ± 116 g were blocked by litter randomly assigned to the f our treatments and caged individually until 60 d of age. The restricted group was fed with 50% the feed eaten by the ad libitum group at weaning and the daily feed supply increased linearly until 100% of intake of the ad libitum group at 47 d of age. Fecal digestibility was determined between 39 and 43 d (D 1) and between 53 and 56 d of age (D2) (10/treatment). Cellobiose supplementation had no e ffect on faecal digestibility but tended to increas starch digestibility in D1 (P = 0.074). Feed restri ction improved energy, protein (both by 5%), starch (+0.3%) and total dietary fibre digestibility by 11 % (P ≤ 0.026) in D1, with no effect in D2. Feed efficiency improved in the whole experimental perio d with cellobiose supplementation (+3%. P = 0.003), due to the trend to increase the growth rat e (P = 0.11), with no effect on feed intake and mortality. During the restriction period feed intak e of restricted rabbits was a 72% of that of the ad libitum group, while in the whole experimental period acco unted for a 90% of the ad libitum group. As expected, it decreased growth rate (-3.5%; P = 0.01 5) and improved feed efficiency (+7%. P < 0.001) in the whole period, resulting in a lower final liv eweight (2287 vs. 2231d g; P = 0.015). Feed restriction, tended to reduce mortality rate (18.6 vs 10.1%; P = 0.067), and curiously no differences i n mortality were observed during the restriction peri od, and this tendency was explained by reduction of the mortality during the refeeding period (P = 0.04 1). There was no relevant interaction between CEL and feed restriction. In conclusion, CEL supplement ation improved growth traits but had no influence on mortality, while gradual feed restriction, tende d to decrease mortality with a minor reduction of growth traits.
EFFECT OF SULPHUR, PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN ADDITION ON SOYBEAN PRODUCTIVYT

Two field experiments were carried out at Sakha Agricultural Research Station Farm during 2002 and 2003 summer seasons. Soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds, variety Giza 111 were used to investigate the effect of sulphur, phosphorus and nitrogen levels on soybean productivity and quality. Split-split plot design with three replicates was used. The main plots were assigned by two sulphur treatments [with 120 kg/fed. of elemental sulphur (S1) and without sulphur (S0)]. The sub plots were randomly assigned by two phosphorus treatments [with 15 kg/fed. of superphosphate 15.5% P2O5 (P1) and without phosphorus (P0)]. The sub-sub plots were randomly assigned with four nitrogen levels [zero (N0), 20 (N1), 40 (N2) and 60 (N3) kg N/fed. ] as urea fertilizer. The results can be summarized as: Addition of S1 in the presence of P and N increased seed yield, straw yield, oil%, oil yield, protein % and protein yield and decreased available N, available P, soil pH and 100 seeds weight. Addition of S1 in the absence of P and N led to decrease seed yield, straw yield, weight of 100 seeds, oil yield, protein yield and soil pH and increase oil % in the seeds and soil EC. The P1 treatment increased seed yield, straw yield, 100 seeds weight, oil yield, protein yield, and available P. Also, addition of N levels up to N2 ( 40kg N/fed )increased seed yield, straw yield, weight of 100 seeds, oil yield, protein yield and available N but it decreased available P in the soil.
Relationship between Effort Reward Imbalance and Work Engagement among Medical Staff in Egypt: A Cross-Sectional Analytic Study

Abstarct Background Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model is a model that suggests that any work-related benefit should be based on the principle of a relationship between efforts and rewards at work. The medical staff as one of the healthcare professionals faces different stressors, challenges, heavy workload, and emotional distress. Continuous exposure to these stresses without being adequately rewarded adversely affects their health, increases burnout levels, and could undermine their level of work engagement. Aim This study aims to explore the relationships between effort-reward imbalance and work engagement among health care medical staff.

Validação de um Algoritmo de Inteligência Artificial para a Predição Diagnóstica de Doença Coronariana: Comparação com um Modelo Estatístico Tradicional

Resumo Fundamento: A análise prognóstica multivariada tem sido realizada tradicionalmente por modelos de regressão. No entanto, muitos algoritmos surgiram, capazes de traduzir uma infinidade de padrões em probabilidades. A acurácia dos modelos de inteligência artificial em comparação à de modelos estatísticos tradicionais não foi estabelecida na área médica. Objetivo: Testar a inteligência artificial como um algoritmo preciso na predição de doença coronariana no cenário de dor torácica aguda, e avaliar se seu desempenho é superior a do modelo estatístico tradicional. Métodos: Foi analisada uma amostra consecutiva de 962 pacientes admitidos com dor torácica. Dois modelos probabilísticos de doença coronariana foram construídos com os primeiros 2/3 dos pacientes: um algoritmo machine learning e um modelo logístico tradicional. O desempenho dessas duas estratégias preditivas foi avaliado no último terço de pacientes. O modelo final de regressão logística foi construído somente com variáveis significativas a um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A amostra de treinamento tinha idade média de 59 ± 15 anos, 58% do sexo masculino, e uma prevalência de doença coronariana de 52%. O modelo logístico foi composto de nove preditores independentes. O algoritmo machine learning foi composto por todos os candidatos a preditores. Na amostra teste, a área sob a curva ROC para predição de doença coronariana foi de 0,81 (IC95% = 0,77 – 0,86) para o algoritmo machine learning, similar à obtida no modelo logístico (0,82; IC95% = 0,77 – 0,87), p = 0,68. Conclusão: O presente estudo sugere que um modelo machine learning acurado não garante superioridade à um modelo estatístico tradicional
Analytical Modeling and Experimental Validation of Electromagnetic Field Radiated by In-house PLC Lines

Broadband PLC (power line communication) technology is a main factor of the development of digital convergence in the indoor network. It uses the already existing power cable infrastructure for communication purposes. The EM (electromagnetic) field radiating from the cable could, however, disturb other communication systems, and thus should be evaluated. The MoM (method of moment) and the FEM (finite element method) have been studied to estimate the EM field emitted from the power cable. However, the MoM is difficult to treat the dielectric material of the cable and the FEM is time consuming. This paper presents a new approach to estimate the radiated EM fields caused by PLC systems from the CM current along the cable, based on the transmission line theory. The proposed model has the advantage of using the measured primary parameters of the cable. An experimental analysis of the EM radiation distribution is also presented. A comparison showed that the model results agree quit e well with the measurements performed in this study.
Analysis of the Response of a One-Storey One-Bay Steel Frame to Blast

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in perceived risks of blast loading attacks or similar incidents on structures. Blast design is therefore a necessary aspect of the design for building structures globally and as such building design must adapt accordingly. Presented herein is an attempt to determine the numerical response of a seismically designed single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure to blast loading. The SDOF model in the form of a portal frame was designed to withstand a typical seismic occurrence in Northern Trinidad. Blast loads caused by applying a 500 kg charge weight of TNT at standoff distances of 45 m, 33 m, and 20 m were then applied to the model. The blast loading on the frame was determined using empirical methods. The analytical study showed that the seismically designed SDOF plane frame model entered the plastic region during the application of the blast load occurring up to the critical standoff distance.
Velocity Anisotropy in Self-gravitating Molecular Clouds. II. Observation

The view on velocity structures in molecular clouds and their relationship with magnetic fields (B field) has evolved during the past decade from almost no correlation to highly parallel. Our numerical simulations suggest a more nuanced picture: Depending on whether the self-gravity is dynamically dominant, the velocity field can be governed by either contraction (at high densities) or turbulence (at low densities), and their anisotropies will tend to be either perpendicular or parallel, respectively, to the B fields. High-density regions are always embedded in the low-density fore/background, so the velocity behaviors from lines of sight (LOSs) with high column densities will be a mixture of orthogonal anisotropies, which can be hard to interpret and necessitates zooming in onto certain LOS scales to better characterize localized behaviors. We tested and confirmed the above prediction with CO observations of the Taurus molecular cloud.
Assessment of Soil Nutrients Enhancement by organic NPK® (compost) and Urea under Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Cultivation in Makurdi, Nigeria

Introduction The gradual decline in yield per unit area of land as witnessed in some major food such as sweet potatoes, cocoyam, maize, soybeans, sorghum, millet, sesame etc has been a major concern to many governments in the sub-Saharan countries. This condition has been attributed to; low level of irrigation farming, environmental constraints, and low farm inputs, low adaptation of modern farming techniques among other socio-economic challenges [1]. According to FAO report, Nigeria’s agricultural import stood at N3.35 trillion as against import of N803 billion
