A Secure key Distribution and Management Scheme for Home Area Network in Smart Grid

Securing the network communication for the smart grid requires a secure key distribution and management scheme. Advanced metering Infrastructure (AMI) is considered as an integral part of the smart grid that collects and analyzes the information of energy consumption using the communication network. In order to achieve data confidentiality, privacy, and authentication in AMI, various crypto algorithms are used, such as demand key distribution and management schemes. Investigation on properly designed key distribution and management scheme for securely gathering both individual and aggregated meter’s readings is one of the critical requirements. In this paper, we propose a secure key distribution for Home Area Network (HAN) in smart grid as well as a new key distribution and management scheme, which uses identification scheme of Wu – Hsu and tailored to smart grid. We also give the scheme for key update/freshness and key revocation. Specifically, a group ID based mechanism is proposed to establish the keys for a large amount of users with small overload.
Evaluating the sustainability of health programmes: A literature review

Background: Evidence shows that fewer than 1% of all international development projects worldwide, including those in Nigeria, were evaluated at least 2 years after completion to learn what genuinely changed. With over 787 million US Dollars in official development assistance to Nigeria’s health sector in 2017, this seeming disinterest in assessing sustainability – particularly in light of the international commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals – is concerning. Objectives: We aim to assess the overall body of knowledge on the evaluation of sustainability of health programmes in Nigeria. Methods: We conducted a broad literature search, which included grey literature such as development project reports to identify all relevant studies reporting on our study objective. Articles were selected for inclusion using predefined criteria and data were extracted onto a purposely designed data extraction form. Results: Four articles met our search criteria. The review identified financial, technical, social and environmental barriers to sustainability. Recommendations encompassed all stages of the project cycle: funding, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Conclusion: This review explored the overall body of knowledge on the evaluation of sustainability for health programmes in Nigeria. A clear understanding of operational indicators for sustainability, embedding sustainability early in the project cycle, community ownership, capacity building, effective collaboration, leadership and quality post evaluation are key for sustainable development in Nigeria. A limitation of this review is the small number of studies included and the assessment of sustainability at a single point in time. Much more empirical and rigorous research is needed to explore sustainability of health programmes in Nigeria. Research should also seek to understand the views of key stakeholders such as donors, implementing partners and the government.
Conceptual exploration of the relationship between communication leadership, corporate culture and corporate reputation in the leading media government-linked companies

This study will conceptually explore the role of CEOs as communication leaders among the leading media government-linked companies. The collective narratives are expected to yield ideas concerning how their respective corporate communication schemes are structured, managed and practiced. New forms of knowledge can be derived by generally address the research question: to explore the relationship between communication leadership, corporate culture and corporate reputation. The data collected should be able to address research objective: to identify and/determine the relationship between communication leadership, corporate culture and corporate reputation. The most crucial aspect is how the leading media government-linked companies are utilizing their media resources to promote corporate reputation, in view of their high vulnerability to strong institutional/political pressures. A qualitative research method is proposed because thick narrative data are needed in order to capture a robust understanding on practices of reputation management through communication. Data collection will be made through face-to-face in-depth interview. The institutional theory will be used to interpret the findings and guide the analysis is. This theory is pertinent in view of the structural preconditions that govern and give the leading media government-linked companies their legitimacy. A precedent study has used neo-institutional theories in explaining the interactions involved between the media, society and organizations in relation to CEO communication aspects. This study aspires to make a significant contribution since the amount of literature available on communication leadership, corporate culture and corporate reputation in the context of Malaysian leading media government-linked companies is relatively scant.
Estimation of Software Reliability for Littlewood Pareto Failure Time Model

The concept of software reliability is very important for every software developer. Many researchers have developed different types of software reliability models, based on the probability distribution of the failure times, such as exponential, Weibull, Gamma, Pareto etc. Estimating the reliability of the software enables the developers to ensure that the reliability objectives specified by the user are met. It also helps the users to decide whether or not to accept the software, based on the reliability estimates. The reliability estimates have been obtained by many researchers using various techniques, for the models mentioned above. In most of these cases, the method of least squares has been used. Few researchers have used Bayes methods for estimating reliability. Herein, Littlewood Pareto class models have been considered and expressions for reliability estimates have been derived using the methods of Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimation. Considering the statistical properties of the two estimates, it is recommended that the reliability estimate obtained using the method of minimum variance unbiased estimation may be preferred over that obtained using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. A few case studies have been considered and the estimates of reliability obtained by the above two methods have been compared.

Sustainability of Rural Environmental Governance Research on Waste Disposal Issues

Compared with the perfect infrastructure and mature management experience in urban waste treatment, there is a lack of the experience and tradition of environmental protection and garbage disposal in some rural areas because they are located in remote areas. The awareness of the treatment of garbage is weak, which makes the rural “dirty, messy and disordered” environment difficult to cure, seriously affecting the sustainability of rural environmental governance. Therefore, in order to build a high-efficiency, low-cost horizontal coordination system for waste management and a safe and reliable vertical control system for waste management, and to promote technological solutions and management solutions for rural waste management, this paper takes the sustainability of environmental governance as the criterion and proposes a multi-center governance model based on the independent management of residents in rural environmental governance to solve the problem of unsustainable waste

Current approaches used in this field are presented followed by a discussion about their limitations and the main challenges faced when dealing with such application. As a final point, a proposed approach to improve the quality of Arabic text summarization system is presented.
Full color quantum dot light‐emitting diodes patterned by photolithography technology

Quantum dot light‐emitting diodes are promising candidates for next generation displays. For display application, a pixel consists of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) side‐by‐side sub‐pixels, which thereby requires a high resolution patterning of the light‐emission layers. In this work, the quantum dot (QD) light‐emitting layers are fine patterned by using the photolithography and the lift‐off techniques. To facilitate the lift‐off process, reverse photoresist AZ5214E is used because of its special inverted trapezoidal structure after developing. To prevent the QDs being washed off during the lift‐off process, the ZnMgO layer is treated by the hydrophobic material hexamethyldisilazane. With hexamethyldisilazane treatment, the adhesion between the QDs and the ZnMgO is effectively improved. As a result, side‐by‐side R/G/B QD with pixel size of 30 μm × 120 μm is successfully achieved. After patterning, the R, G, and B‐quantum dot light‐emitting diodes exhibit a maximum current efficiency of 11.6 cd/A, 29.7 cd/A, and 1.5 cd/A, respectively. This work confirms the feasibility of patterning QDs by using the photolithography and the lift‐off techniques.
Objective verification of high-resolution WRF forecasts during 2005 NSSL/SPC Spring Program

The development of meaningful, objective methods for verifying gridded, high-resolution forecasts containing realistic detail that satisfy the needs of a diverse user community continues to be an elusive problem. Recent research along these lines has focussed primarily on ways of evaluating the “realism” of forecasts, following suggestions made by Anthes (1983). One such general method involves the comparison of measures related to the structure of detailed fields, such as Fourier power spectra (e.g., Skamarock 2004; Harris et al. 2001; Zepeda-Arce et al. 2000). Another potentially useful suggestion involves the comparison of characteristics of specific meteorological phenomena, often called the “object-oriented” approach (e.g. Ebert and McBride 2000; Nachamkin 2004; Case et al. 2004). Examination of the spatial distribution of errors along with their significance has also been considered (Elmore et al. 2005). In this work, we examine the utility of verification methods that provide information on the quality of highresolution numerical forecasts. Forecast output from several versions of the WRF model were evaluated during the 2005 NSSL/SPC Spring Program. These include a ~4km grid-spacing version of the WRF-NMM run at NCEP, a ~4km version of WRF-ARW run at NCAR, and a ~2km version of WRF-ARW run by CAPS at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. These forecasts were evaluated subjectively in real-time by teams of operational forecasters and researchers (Weiss et al. 2005). Results from the subjective evaluation will be reported by Kain et al. (2005) at this conference. In this work, several automated/objective verification techniques have been applied to these forecasts, in particular, predicted and observed radar reflectivity fields are compared. Object-oriented techniques have been used to compare the forecast and observed characteristics of a variety of rainfall systems. Other statistical techniques are used to measure biases in the forecast fields, structure, etc. This paper will report on ongoing research related to meaningful, objective verification of forecasts that contain realistic, high-resolution detail. 2.

Efforts to Achieve Environmental Sustainability through Ecotourism

This paper will discuss specifically the effort of Kupa-Kupa Beach Cottage and Meti Beach Cottage managers to achieve environmental sustainability through the concept of ecotourism. Furthermore, private sector involvement and mixed marketing strategy will be discussed to describe how community empowerment and local community support as an essential factor in regional tourism development, especially in North Halmahera District. The research method used is qualitative with case study approach. This paper shows that the private sector tends to adopt a community-based ecotourism concept to achieve environmental sustainability and tourism sustainability itself. The government will act as a stimulus and catalyst that is synergistic with the needs of the private sector to provide tourism facilities according to tourists' preference. Kupa-Kupa Beach Cottage and Meti Beach Cottage managers seek to provide employment for local communities as part of a marketing strategy so that they are mutually beneficial. Keywords: Community empowerment, ecotourism, environmental sustainability, mixed marketing strategy, private sector involvement.
Analysis of the compliance of Brazilian firms with good corporate governance practices

Purpose: Studies report that the adoption of good corporate governance practices tends to improve firm value. However, the results of such adoption seem to be conditioned by specific institutional and legal characteristics of each country. This study aims to analyze compliance with good corporate governance practices in the context of publicly traded companies in the Brazilian market. Methodology: The sample is made up of 1336 annual observations of 167 companies listed on the B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) in the period 2010-2017. The practices recommended by the main corporate governance codes in Brazil were used as benchmark. Tests for the difference in means (t-test) and in proportions (z-test) were used to compare the observed situation in the group of firms and the recommendations in the Brazilian market. Results: Despite the adoption of many of the best practices recommended, there is still space for advancement in the Brazilian firm corporate governance. The results indicate noncompliance of the Brazilian firm with the recommendations regarding the audit committee and fiscal council, which may particularly weaken transparency and control of firm’s internal activities. In addition, adherence to distinguished market segments is associated to a greater trend to observe the suggestions emanating from the codes, which may be due to the perception of a favorable cost-benefit ratio of the adoption of corporate governance practices. Contributions of the Study: The work provides additional contribution by presenting a detailed analysis of the current scenario of the Brazilian firm corporate governance captured from the evaluation of the degree of adoption of each practice recommended individually.
Investor sentiment, stock returns, and analyst recommendation changes: The KOSPI stock market

ABSTRACT By analysing daily data on the KOSPI stock market, we examine how investor sentiment and stock market returns respond to announcements of changes in analysts’ recommendations. In addition, we examine the effect of these announcements on the relationship between investor sentiment and stock returns. We find that investor sentiment is more sensitive to upgrade announcements than it is to downgrade announcements, implying that analyst reports yield meaningful trading indications to uninformed investors. Furthermore, investor sentiment becomes pessimistic prior to bad news being released, significantly affecting the response of stock returns to downgrade announcements. Thus, investor sentiment is one possible cause of asymmetric stock market reactions to changes in analysts’ recommendations.

Retail Shocks and City Structure

This paper evaluates the consequences of opening out-of-town big-boxes on the commercial structure of cities. I use a discontinuity in a commercial regulation in Spain that restricts the entry of big-box stores in municipalities of less than 10,000 inhabitants for the period 2003 to 2011. I then use this discontinuity as an instrument for the big-box opening. The results show that three years after the big-box opening, around 15% of the grocery stores in the municipality have disappeared. However, some of the empty commercial premises are taken by other new small retailers in other sectors. As a result, the total number of retail stores in the municipality remains unchanged. These results show that a retail shock in the suburbs does not necessarily empty the city center but can also change only the composition of its commercial activity.
Introduction of the Single Currency and Inflation - the Case of Central and Eastern European Countries

The study of price increases in five countries (Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) aimed to assess the introduction of the single currency (euro) on the rate of HICP inflation in two short-term perspectives: after the first month and after the first year of the introduction of the euro in these countries. The following hypothesis was put forward: prices after the introduction of the euro are contained in the inflation target, that is, there can be no substantial increase, and contrasting views on the issue are only an effect of illusion, that is, the difference between actual and perceived inflation level. The research was carried out using the comparative method. They show that the inflation effect in the euro-adopting countries was clearly convergent with the level of price growth recorded at the same time in other European Union countries, including those already with a single currency. The result is that the reasons for excessive price growth in the short-term perspective should not be sought in connection with the introduction of the euro, but rather explained by e.g. the convergence of business cycles with these euro area countries in which HICP inflation target exceedance was recorded at the same time. There can be also any other conditions that affect price growth in all European countries, regardless of whether they belong to euro area or have its national currencies.
Ipa and Servperf quality conceptualisations and their tole for satisfaction with hotel services

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to assess importance-performance analysis (IPA) and service performance (SERVPERF) conceptualizations of service quality, and to establish which one excels in predicting the tourists' satisfaction in hotel industry; and (2) to test the mediating role of satisfaction between quality conceptualization and hotel guests’ repurchase intentions and word of mouth recommendations regarding the hotel. Design – A conceptual framework was empirically tested on a sample of 311 tourists staying in six hotels in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), which is a tourist destination with increased relevance internationally. Methodology – Covariance-based structural equation modeling was used to estimate the model. Approach – Two conceptualizations were firstly estimated separately then they were contrasted and compared. Findings – The results showed a slight superiority of the IPA conceptualization over that of SERVPERF in predicting satisfaction and in affecting customer attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. This study also confirms the vital mediating role of satisfaction on customer outcomes. Originality of the research – This study utilizes and compares two relevant conceptualizations of hotel service quality and is based on a conceptual framework that establishes which one is better for predicting tourists’ behavioral outcomes. The study is of practical relevance since it gives suggestions on tools that should be used by hotel managers in assessing the quality perceived by their guests.
