Construction of balanced vectorial Boolean functions with almost optimal nonlinearity and very low differential-linear uniformity

The differential-linear connectivity table (DLCT) of a vectorial Boolean function was recently introduced by Bar-On et al. at EUROCRYPT'19, whose value at a point is related to the autocorrelation value of its component functions. Further, in INDOCRYPT'19, we proposed a new construction method for vectorial Boolean functions with very low differential-linear uniformity using Maiorana–McFarland bent functions. The difficulty of that construction method was to identify the permutations and the sub-functions that satisfy the conditions to attain good cryptographic properties. In this paper we discover novel techniques to construct such sub-functions to generate vectorial Boolean functions with substantially improved cryptographic properties. Our proposed methods are based on ideas from combinatorics as well as finite fields. In particular, we construct the sub-functions to generate (4t,t−1)-function, t≥5, in a different manner than our Indocrypt'19 paper. Further our new methods help in obtaining sub-functions to generate balanced (4t+2,t−1)-function and (2k,k)-function with very good nonlinearity and very low differential-linear uniformity, that were never demonstrated earlier.
Balancing Legality and Legitimacy in Canada's COVID-19 Response

The COVID-19 pandemic has delivered an impossible balancing act for democracies. As a public health crisis that demands exceptional measures to contain, the pandemic has forced democratic governments to reconcile competing obligations to legality, political legitimacy, and emergency response. In Canada, we have seen provincial governments impose emergency orders that severely curtail civil liberties. Meanwhile, the federal government has assumed enormous spending powers for crisis relief. While these measures may be necessary to mitigate the pandemic’s worst effects, they also threaten the country’s fundamental commitments to democracy, constitutionalism, and the Rule of Law. This paper analyzes how political and legal controls have operated to ensure that emergency measures strike an appropriate balance between legal rights, democratic norms, and crisis response. While a conclusive assessment of Canada’s COVID-19 response would be premature, I find an emerging picture of a measured approach that is responsive to political and legal controls – not only preserving legality and legitimacy, but sustaining the public trust that is essential to resolving a crisis like COVID-19.
예비 생물교사의 SSI(Socio-Scientific Issues) 글쓰기에 나타난 논증 수준과 구조 변화 분석

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of argumentation structures shown in SSI writing by pre-service biology teachers. Also it was to analyze the level of argumentation. To this end, we developed SSI writing activities that incorporated definitions and characteristics of SSI, the relationship between SSI education and scientific knowledge, SSI education and writing, the meaning and necessity for essay writing, and SSI reasoning and applied it to pre-service biology teachers. Over three writing tasks, the level of argumentation by the pre-service biology teachers gradually increased. In the result of the analysis, pre-service biology teachers clearly presented the purpose of the writing and used rebuttal in their argumentation writing. The application of the SSI writing program was shown to be effective in improving the SSI writing argumentation structure of them. The result of this study suggest that need for SSI writing education in the teacher training curriculum.
College Admissions for L2 Students: Comparing L1 and L2 Readability of Admissions Materials for U.S. Higher Education

Advancements in computational linguistics have allowed educational researchers to examine large amounts of text and assess the reading difficulty of that text for speakers whose first language is English (L1), and speakers whose first language is not English (L2). Considering L2 students exploring higher education, extant research suggests these L2 students do not access United States (U.S.) higher education as the same level as their L1 peers. Using popular measures of L1 and L2 readability, the current study analyzes admission instructions from 341 randomly-selected four-year U.S. institutions of higher education and finds L2 readability is more difficult (30.9) than L1 readability (37.7) and differences in means are statistically significant (p=0.001) across the entire sample and each institutional sector (public, private non- profit, and private for-profit). These findings may help explain the postsecondary achievement gap experienced by L2 students in the United States.
AuthCheck: Program-State Analysis for Access-Control Vulnerabilities

According to security rankings such as the SANS Top 25 and the OWASP Top 10, access-control vulnerabilities are still highly relevant. Even though developers use web frameworks such as Spring and Struts, which handle the entire access-control mechanism, their implementation can still be vulnerable because of misuses, errors, or inconsistent implementation from the design specification. We propose AuthCheck, a static analysis that tracks the program’s state using a finite state machine to report illegal states caused by vulnerable implementation. We implemented AuthCheck for the Spring framework and identified four types of mistakes that developers can make when using Spring Security. With AuthCheck, we analyzed an existing open-source Spring application with inserted vulnerable code and detected the vulnerabilities.

SECURITY IN CLOUD COMPUTING IN INDIAN GOVERNMENT

Abstract –Today Security issue is the topmost problem in the cloud computing environment. It leads to serious discomfort to the Governance and end-users. Numerous security solutions and policies are available however practically ineffective in use. Most of the security solutions are centered towards cloud technology and cloud service providers only and no consideration has been given to the Network, accessing, and device securities at the end-user level. The discomfort at the end-user level was left untreated. The security of the various public, private networks, variety of devices used by end-users, accessibility, and capacity of end-users is left untreated. This leads towards the strong need for the possible modification of the security architecture for data security at all levels and secured service delivery. This leads towards the strong need for the possible adaption of modified security measures and provisions, which shall provide secured hosting and service delivery at all levels and reduce the security gap between the cloud service providers and end-users. This paper investigates the study and analyze the security architecture in the Cloud environment of Govt. of India and suggest the modifications in the security architecture as per the changing scenario and to fulfill the future needs for the secured service delivery from central up to the end-user level. &#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords: Cloud Security, Security in GI Cloud, Cloud Security measures, Security Assessment in GI Cloud, Proposed Security for GI cloud
Solar Panels and their Diverse Characteristics: An All-Inclusive Study

In recent years the use of solar energy is found to have grown by a large amount. Solar energy is renewable energy and the demand for it as clean energy shows its growth by nearly 50 percent in the past decade. It is estimated that the sun is able to generate energy within 24 hours that the entire population of the world could consume in 27 years. Solar power is the energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. The energy harnessed from the sun's rays is used for a variety of applications like electricity generation, to provide light for the interior environment, and many other domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes. Usage of fossil fuels for electricity production results in increased pollution and this mandates many governments to encourage moving to electricity generation using solar power. The large amount of solar energy that is available is found to be the most appealing source of electricity. Solar panels form a major part of the solar energy setup. Hence in this article let us review the various types of solar panels. This paper also deals with comparing the merits and demerits of the different types of solar panels that are available in the market. A section that presents the efficiency of the different kinds of the solar panel is also present in this paper. The role of temperature coefficient, fire rating, and hail rating in the performance of the solar panel is also addressed in this paper.
Discursos de ódio: uma análise à luz da colonialidade: Hate speech: an analysis in the light of coloniality

Hate speech are a form of discrimination and are predominantly directed against social groups in a position of subordination. During modern colonialism, the domination of the colonized took place through derogatory discourses that legitimized their inferiority status. This inferiorization was the result of the disqualification of the characteristics of these peoples distinct from the European pattern of behavior and production of knowledge. In Western democracies, negative representations against these same groups are still frequent even today. They are present, in the same way, in expressions that surpass the offensive and intolerant character and configure hate speech. International guidelines point out that the discriminatory component that configures an expression of hatred is sometimes linked to pre-existing stereotypes about certain collectivities, reinforcing them. Based on these premises, this article investigates whether and to what extent the hate speeches in the western societies can be deemed a colonial phenomenon. It is an exploratory research, with bibliographical e documental review based on the postcolonial and decolonial theoretical perspective. Finally, we verify that: a) hate speech can be considered expressions of coloniality in the Western culture societies; b) hate speech also occurs as a reaction, on the part of dominant social groups, to situations of empowerment and attempts of discriminated social groups to break up their subordinated status.
A Model to Predict Winner in Election

In numerous genuine applications, there is regularly a requirement for a bunch of specialists to concur upon a typical choice despite the fact that they may have various inclinations over the accessible possibility to browse. A characteristic methodology utilized in these circumstances is casting a ballot. Some noticeable instances of the utilization of casting a ballot rules with regards to multi agent frameworks incorporate collective sifting customized item determination and so forth in a common democratic situation, we have a bunch of votes every one of which is a finished positioning over a bunch of up-and-comers. We additionally have a capacity considered democratic guideline that takes as info a bunch of votes and yields a competitor as the champ. A bunch of votes over a bunch of competitors alongside a democratic standard is called a political race and the victor is known as the result of the political race.

Secure Communication Through Identity Based Cryptography Using Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics laws are employed to cryptography for secure communication which is commonly known as quantum cryptography. Quantum cryptography creates an indestructible cryptographic solution by fortifying prime secrecy, which is used in quantum key distribution. It is a eminent technology that allows two entities to securely interact using quantum mechanics. Bits are used in classical cryptography to encode information, but photons and their polarisation, which is commonly known as qubits, are used in quantum cryptography to encode information. The communications are safe because they are based on unbreakable quantum mechanics laws. The identity based cryptosystem, which allows any pair of users to communicate and validate each other's signatures without transferring private or public keys, maintaining key directories, or relying on the services of a third party. This paper aims at explaining identity based cryptography using laws of quantum mechanics.
Hypogonadotropic-hypogonadism (Kallman Syndrome) in Young Adult

Background: Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare disorder first described in 1856 and later studied by Kallmann in 1944. It is now designated as olfactogenital dysplasia with an association between agenesis of the olfactory bulbs and hypogonadism. The prevalence of KS is still unknown. The reported incidence is 1 in 8000 to 1 in 10 000 in men and rare in women. More than 24 genes are underlying KS that have been identified. Mutations in these genes are thought to interfere with the expression of cell markers that guide migrating neurons, leading to failed migration of GnRH neurons and olfactory neurons to the forebrain during fetal development. The main clinical characteristics of KS include hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. Less common phenotypes include cardiovascular anomalies, unilateral renal agenesis, cleft palate and cleft lip, cryptorchidism and osteoporosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show abnormalities of the olfactory system and other forebrain structures. Other exceptions may be discovered using MRI because of its high resolution and multiplanar capabilities, such as pituitary abnormalities.

A new way to fight sars-cov-19

Currently, there is no more important problem for humanity than the fight against SARS-CoV-19 (COVID-19). Information of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that the virus envelope quickly degrades at frequencies of 25 and 50 MHz, both water and air is appeared. However, little attention has been paid to this message.The purpose of this work is to eliminate this drawback and draw attention to a new way of fighting viruses and bacteria by their resonant destruction. This path was founded back the XX century Alexander Gurvich (Russia) and Royal Rife (USA) and implemented a number of already invented electronic devices. Royal Rife used this path to treat cancer patients, but a number of cases he received a negative result, which forced them to reject this path (not without the influence of pharmaceutical companies, due to the threat of losing the market for expensive drugs).Given that COVID-19 is rapidly mutating, it requires the production of billions of doses of new types of vaccines, which is carried out in pursuit of mutations. This path requires constant new costs of intellectual, material, technical and economic resources, which are diverted from other areas of improving human life and activities. In addition, during the in pursuit period, there are no other more effective methods of combating COVID-19 than isolation, which has a detrimental effect on the economy countries and people's living conditions. Since these problems are more important than other immediate benefits, therefore, it is necessary to forget about past failures and direct all efforts to developing a new path - the resonant destruction of viruses, as a universal disinfectant for all types of viruses. This does not reject the development of new vaccines and traditional methods of treatment; they can be carried out parallel. The developed individual electronic devices can be made the form of medallions or additional microchips of smartphones and mobile phones, which are available to all inhabitants of the Earth. If the same resources that were used to develop vaccines are involved solving this problem, success is possible within a year, and further costs will be minimal.

Analisis Noise Pada Radiografi Thorax Pulmonum Pada Penerapan Modifikasi Faktor Eksposi Aturan 10 kV

Introduction: Quality and dose factors are very important in radiodiagnostics. To produce a constant radiographic quality, the density and contrast produced must remain constant. There is a rule that aims to produce a constant radiographic quality by adding the exposure value, namely the 10 kV rule. This study was conducted to determine the noise in the computed radiography image with the thorax organ produced by modifying the exposure factor of the 10 kV rule and whether it is still within tolerance.Methods: This quantitative research was conducted with an experimental approach. This is done by taking a series of radiographs that include three exposure factor settings, standard (60 kV, 10 mAs), increased by 10 kV (70 kV, 5 mAs) and lowered by 10 kV (50 kV, 20 mAs). Noise measurement is done by doing ROI in the background area. The exposure index and deviation index values were also recorded as quality and dose references. The data was processed and analyzed by statistical tests.Results: From the statistical test results, there is a significant relationship between kV and noise with a sig (1-tailed) of ,000. Noise on the standard exposure factor has a lower noise than the modified exposure factor with a difference of 0.2. From the quality aspect, the most optimum exposure index and deviation index indicators are in the range of 70 KV and 5 mAs.Conclusion: The results of the statistical test of the relationship of kV to noise obtained at 50 Kv and 20 mAs, 60 kV and 10 mAs gave a significance value of 0.263 and 0.435, while at 70 kV and 10 mAs with Sig. (1-tailed) of .000 which means the relationship between kV to noise is strong because the sig value is below 0.05.
A Yellow Box with a Key Switch and a 1/4" TRS Balanced Audio Output

This short article presents a reductionist infra-instrument.It concerns a yellow die-cast aluminium box only featuring a key switch and a 1/4" TRS balanced audio output as its UI.On the turn of the key, the device performs a certain poem in Morse code and via very low frequency acoustic pulses; in this way, it transforms poetry into bursts of intense acoustic energy that may resonate a hosting architecture and any human bodies therein.It is argued that the instrument functions at the very same time as a critical/speculative electronic object, as an ad-hoc performance instrument, and as a piece of (conceptual) art on its own sake.
