Ressonâncias semióticas na comunicação
Authors: Ferrara Lucrécia D’Alessio
Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a relação que se estabelece entre as características da fenomenologia filosófica, a natureza do conhecimento que dela deriva e o modo como interfere sobre a produção do conhecimento em comunicação. Em primeiro lugar, observa-se a concepção de comunicação como processo transmissivo desenvolvida pelos clássicos estudos de mídia ou pelos processos de comunicação de massa. Em seguida, aproximam-se comunicação e semiótica como campos epistemológicos que, embora desenvolvam mútuas influências científicas, são, não raro, considerados áreas científicas distintas atualmente, observa-se a emergência de outras bases de reflexão que podem aproximar a comunicação e a semiótica, enquanto áreas científicas.
Já somos modernos? A produção de conteúdo e a modernidade
Authors: Lopes Ricardo Cortez , Luchini Nádila Albuquerque
Published: November 2022

este artigo trata de uma nova atividade humana e profissional, que é a produção de conteúdo, que se tornou forte em tempos de forte influência da internet. Acreditamos que a proliferação desse tipo de comunicação aponta para um momento da modernidade: a reflexividade (Giddens) e a inconclusão desse projeto (Latour). Após uma revisão bibliográfica do conceito não formulado de conteúdo, buscamos realizar uma definição exploratória. Concluímos que a  produção de conteúdo se volta para uma herança de inteligência coletiva e busca mediá-la racionalmente para um público-amplo, numa relação que envolve expectativas do lead, da marca, a técnica e o contexto dessa comunicação. Assim, a produção de conteúdo é uma atividade moderna voltada para a purificação do material encontrado na internet, o que abre possibilidades de se pensar a própria natureza da modernidade em si.
O outro generalizado no pós-apocalíptico: Análise de produções midiáticas
Authors: Martinez Lis Yana de Lima , Lopes Ricardo Cortez
Published: November 2022

este trabalho busca fazer a comparação entre as concepções de outro-generalizado em duas mídias distintas que retratam mundos pós-apocalípticos: um filme da década de noventa do século XX (Waterworld) e uma série da década de dez do século XXI (The Walking Dead), que são ambas pós-apocalípticas e retratam concepções do homem sem estado. Analisamos as categorias Motivação, Protagonista, Coadjuvantes Vilão, Futuro, Ação e Nova organização. Através desse exercício, encontramos um outro generalizado moderno, que é teleológico (porque civilizacional), e um outro generalizado contemporâneo, que é mais individualizado e busca apenas a sua reprodução material.

O documentário Democracia em vertigem de Petra Costa retrata um momento histórico com desdobramentos vívidos em nosso cotidiano político e em nossas formas de sociabilidade. Assim, a proposta dessa comunicação é apresentar uma discussão sobre emoções, política e vice-versa. O artigo descreve processos políticos subsumidos em disputas conjunturais e associados a estruturas de poder. Sob e sobre relações de poder ainda nos interessa tratar das emoções ao mirar o documentário por meio dos eixos biografia, geração e memória frente ao cenário político.

Filosofia PDM – osteogênese transversal e vertical utilizando movimentação da interface da rizólise, rica em células tronco
Authors: D’Angelo Vania , Santos Vithor R. Antunes
Published: November 2022

O Protocolo em Dentição Mista (PDM) foi derivado da técnica autoligada em Ortodontia fixa, quebrou um paradigma de 120 anos, em que colar bráquetes em dentes decíduos com o objetivo de os movimentar não era prática. Antes da Filosofia PDM, já havia colagens de bráquetes em decíduos, porém sem a intenção de os movimentar, eram usados simplesmente como ancoragem extra. Mas as recém-descobertas sobre as células tronco presentes na estrutura interna e externa dos decíduos tornou possível o desenvolvimento da Filosofia, além das comprovações de vários aspectos pertinentes como a movimentação de dentes com rizogê- nese incompleta e pistas diretas desoclusoras sinérgicas ao sistema bidimensional. Enfim, hoje pode se fazer Ortodontia interceptativa com movimentos controlados se utilizando aparelhos fixos e sem a necessidade de disjuntores ou outros aparelhos removíveis que necessitem a colaboração do paciente, minimizando a necessidade de cirurgias ortognáticas.

Published: November 2022

Apesar de diversas empresas oferecerem o serviço de confecção de alinhadores transparentes, a aquisição de uma impressora 3D gera ao ortodontista a possibilidade de não depender exclusivamente das mesmas. Além disso, o profissional que domina a produção de alinhadores consegue diminuir os custos, individualizar sua confecção de acordo com as necessidades do paciente, podendo planejar os casos com diferentes attachments, utilizando placas com diferentes espessuras e/ou recortes e ainda selecionar a resina mais adequada para impressão. Porém, ainda existem dúvidas com relação à utilização e aquisição de uma impressora 3D, fazendo com que os profissionais se sintam inseguros na decisão de adquiri-la. Dessa forma, visando facilitar a aquisição e utilização rotineira de uma impressora 3D, objetiva-se detalhar o passo a passo para a obtenção de um modelo 3D, descrevendo pontos importantes que devem ser avaliados quando pretende-se adquirir uma impressora 3D. Diante das diferentes tecnologias disponíveis no mercado, a estereolitografia se destaca para a confecção de alinhadores. A marca Anycubic disponibiliza opções de impressoras 3D a um excelente custo/ benefício. Pôde-se demonstrar que a utilização de uma impressora 3D para confecção de alinhadores é viável e acessível para o ortodontista, devendo o mesmo definir inicialmente o espaço disponível para os equipamentos, a quantidade de modelos que pretende imprimir e o valor que pretende investir.
Do demographic and socioeconomic characteristics underpin differences in youth smoking initiation across Canadian provinces? Evidence from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2015–2018)
Authors: Gagné Thierry , Pelekanakis Annie , O’Loughlin Jennifer L.
Published: November 2022

Introduction

Youth initiation may drive differences in smoking prevalence across Canadian provinces. Provincial differences in initiation relate to tobacco control strategies and public health funding, but have also been attributed to population characteristics. We test this hypothesis by examining the extent to which seven characteristics—immigration, language, family structure, education, income, home ownership and at-school status—explain differences in initiation across provinces.

Methods

We used data from 16 897 youth aged 12 to 17 years in the Canadian Community Health Survey collected from 2015 to 2018. To examine the proportion of provincial differences explained by population characteristics, we compared average marginal effects (AMEs) from partially and fully adjusted models regressing “having ever initiated” on province and other characteristics. We also tested interactions to examine differences in the association between population characteristics and initiation across provinces.

Results

Initiation varied from 4% in British Columbia to 10% in Quebec. Being born in Canada, speaking French, not living in a two-parent household, being in the lowest household income quintile, having parents without postsecondary education, living in rented accommodation and not being in school were each associated with initiation. Taking these results into consideration, the AME of residing in another province compared with Quebec was attenuated by between 3% and 9%. Family structure and household income were more strongly associated with initiation in the Atlantic region and Manitoba, but not in Quebec.

Conclusion

Differences in initiation between Quebec and other provinces are unlikely to be substantially explained by their demographic or socioeconomic composition. Reprioritizing tobacco control and public health funding are likely key in attaining the “tobacco endgame” across provinces.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Un sommeil suffisant et un sommeil de bonne qualité sont des composantes cruciales du développement sain des enfants. Si des recherches antérieures laissent entrevoir des associations entre le sommeil et une bonne santé mentale, peu d’études ont été menées chez les enfants canadiens.

Méthodologie

Cette étude se fonde sur les données de l’Enquête canadienne sur la santé des enfants et des jeunes de 2019. Des parents d’enfants âgés de 5 à 11 ans (N = 16 170) ont fait état des habitudes de sommeil et de la santé mentale de leurs enfants. Des statistiques descriptives ont servi à calculer les moyennes et les pourcentages des indicateurs du sommeil et de la santé mentale. Une régression logistique a été utilisée pour comparer les résultats en matière de santé mentale en fonction du respect des recommandations sur la durée du sommeil (9 à 11 heures de sommeil contre moins de 9 heures ou plus de 11 heures), la qualité du sommeil (difficulté à s’endormir) et l’application de règles relatives à l’heure du coucher.

Résultats

Dans l’ensemble, 86,2 % des enfants de 5 à 11 ans respectaient les recommandations sur la durée du sommeil (9 à 11 heures de sommeil), 90,0 % avaient un sommeil de grande qualité et 83,1 % avaient des règles à respecter concernant l’heure du coucher. Si 83,0 % des enfants avaient un niveau élevé de santé mentale générale, des diagnostics en matière de santé mentale ont tout de même été déclarés pour 9,5 % des enfants, et 15,8 % ont eu besoin de soins de santé mentale ou en ont reçus. Un sommeil de grande qualité a été systématiquement associé à une meilleure santé mentale, l’application de règles relatives à l’heure du coucher a été associée à certains effets négatifs sur la santé mentale et le respect des recommandations sur la durée du sommeil ne semble pas avoir d’incidence sur la santé mentale.

Conclusion

Cette étude révèle une forte association entre la qualité du sommeil et la santé mentale chez les enfants. Les recherches futures devraient se pencher sur les associations longitudinales entre le sommeil et la santé mentale des enfants canadiens.
Investigating reports of cancer clusters in Canada: a qualitative study of public health communication practices and investigation procedures
Authors: Slavik Catherine E. , Yiannakoulias Niko
Published: November 2022

Introduction

Public health officials provide an important public service responding to community concerns around cancer and often receive requests to investigate patterns of cancer incidence and communicate findings with citizens. In this study, we identified procedures Canadian public health officials followed when investigating reports of cancer clusters, and explored the challenges officials faced conducting risk communication with communities.

Methods

Thirteen interviews were administered by telephone with 15 officials across Canadian jurisdictions and analyzed using thematic analysis. A content analysis of procedural documents received from five provinces was also undertaken.

Results

A third of provinces/territories in this study did not use any consistent guidelines to investigate reports of cancer clusters, a third used their own guidelines and a third used guidelines from other countries. Each Canadian jurisdiction identified a different agency or individual responsible for investigating cluster inquiries. Officials in most interviews considered public education to be the primary objective of risk communication during an investigation. Officials in only 4 of 13 interviews cited an overall positive response from the public after investigating reports of a cancer cluster.

Conclusion

Differences in practices used to investigate suspected cancer clusters by public health officials were revealed in this work. Establishing pan-Canadian cancer cluster guidelines could improve procedural consistency across jurisdictions and offer enhanced opportunities to compare cluster responses for evaluation. A reporting system to track reported clusters may improve information sharing between federal, provincial/territorial and local investigators. During formal investigations, face-to-face participatory communication approaches should be explored to improve citizen engagement and manage community concerns.

Published: November 2022

This research is conducted in Santikhiri, a hilltop village on the highest peak in the Doi Mae Salong forest, where climate change increases the intensity and frequency of natural disasters that immensely affect the local children in the mountainous area in Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand. There is only one secondary-level school in this forest landscape educating around 900 schoolchildren from various minority hill-tribe ethnic groups. This paper examines everyday life experiences recentering the village school's role as the producer of safe space for the forest children from climate disasters. School safety is a global framework for recognizing the importance of child-centered efforts in building disaster resilience for the education sector. Parameters and variables used to measure the disaster resilience of schools are adapted from the Climate Resilience Model and School Safety Model by Tong et al. (2012), covering three dimensions: 1) institutional issues, 2) physical conditions, and 3) external relationships. Lefebvre's Spatial Triad Framework is applied to dialectically interconnect dimensions to produce a safe space at the village school to protect the students from climate disaster threats. A mix-method method is applied with several techniques to collect data, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis. Furthermore, a scale Likert survey examined statements on school safety from educational practitioners in the rural forest area. The research argues that the production of safe space at the school is intertwined with budget allocation for disaster preparedness and response (institutional issue as l'espace concu), environmental protection campaign to create a hygienic school environment (physical conditions as l'espace percu), and support from the local community (external relations as l'espace vecu). However, the school is also two contradicting spaces of conceived and lived. Through the critical examination of the production of safe space, the school is a planned space of hierarchical power relations in institutional issues focusing on impacts from rapid-onset disasters. Concurrently, the forest children are still marginalized from external relationships and natural conditions' slow-onset climate change impacts.
The role of corneal biomechanical properties assessment in laser vision correction – the introduction
Authors: Pniakowska Zofia , Jurowski Piotr , Wierzbowska Joanna
Published: November 2022

The role of corneal biomechanical properties in patients referred to laser vision correction (LVC) is currently being raised. Understanding of corneal biomechanics may support the proper selection of refractive surgery candidates, improve the refractive outcomes and safety of refractive procedures. The Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Corvis ST are commonly used devices to assess corneal biomechanical parameters in LVC. The vertical corneal incisions have a greater impact on corneal biomechanics weakening than horizontal incisions. Maintaining the high biomechanical strength of the cornea following LVC can decrease the potential risk of postoperative ectasia.
The use of pilocarpine in the treatment of presbyopia
Authors: Szumny Dorota
Published: November 2022

Presbyopia is a physiological process of progressive loss of accommodation, which leads to a deterioration in the ability to focus vision on objects at different distances. This is now thought to be a direct consequence of two causes: the design of the transparent lens and the way it has to change shape to allow focusing, and the instability of proteins over very long periods of time. In recent years, various substances that temporarily narrow the pupil, causing a pinhole effect, have been intensively investigated to allow improved near vision acuity. The most commonly researched is 1.25% pilocarpine solution. The substance itself has been known for more than 100 years, with a well-documented hypotensive effect and numerous side effects. However, the reduced concentration and less frequent dosing, as well as the addition of drugs with anti-inflammatory effects currently being studied, offer hope for efficacy in the treatment of presbyopia. The results of the studies so far are promising. Researchers point to improved near visual acuity and a low rate of mild side effects. In the future, we will find out whether the optimistic observations mainly in short-term studies will also be effective and applicable in broad practice.

Authors: Szumny Dorota , Misiuk-Hojło Marta
Published: November 2022

Dexpanthenol – a precursor to vitamin B5 – is a compound of natural origin that has a long-known beneficial effect on skin and mucous membrane hydration and epithelial healing. Its anti-inflammatory activity is also used in treatment. Its effects on superficial tissues have been observed in numerous in vitro and in vivo studies, but the exact mechanism of action has not yet been understood. In ophthalmology, dexpanthenol is a well-known and widely used drug in patients with acute and chronic diseases of the ocular surface, as well as for treating the sequelae of corneal injuries.

Published: November 2022

The aim of the study is to analyse the postoperative results of continuous wave, transscleral cyclophotocoagulations (CW-TSCPC) in 6 months follow-up for patients with refractory glaucoma.
Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 58 records of patients who underwent the transscleral cyclophotocoagulation because of refractory glaucoma at the Department of Ophthalmology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland, between 2016 and 2022. All patients underwent ophthalmological examination at baseline and during follow-up visits including best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement (IOP), slit-lamp examination, visual field and optical coherence tomography examination of the retinal nerve fiber layer (OCT RNFL). Follow-up time was 6 months.
Results: We analyzed a group of 58 patients (28 women and 30 men, average age of 62). Majority of patients (41 eyes, 70.69%) had secondary open angle glaucoma. There were no serious complications of the CW-TSCPC procedure. We achieved IOP normalization (IOP below 22 mmHg) in 81.03% of eyes in 1 month follow-up, in 81.08% after 2 months, and in 72.41% after 6 months. Mean IOP reduction was 53.47%, 47.71%, and 47.65% from baseline at 1, 2, and 6 months, respectively. The number of medications taken by patients was lowered of 74.14%, 70.27% and 68.97% after 1, 2 and 6 months respectively. 17 eyes (29.31%) required additional surgical interventions within 6 months.
Conclusions: CW-TSCPC is an effective and safe procedure. It allows lowering of IOP and reduction of drugs number administrated by patients with various types of glaucoma during 6 months follow-up. The procedure is technically easy and with well-controlled postoperative complications.

Oocyte developmental competence is one of the determining factors that in?uence the outcomes of an IVF cycle regarding the ability of a female gamete to reach maturation and be fertilized. A non-invasive approach using proteomic analysis of oocyte cumulus cells (CCs) can be used as a method to predict oocyte competence and viability that could potentially function as molecular predictors for IVF program prognosis. Our study was aimed at quantifying protein markers (HAS2, PTX3, BCL2 and BAX) that are expressed in human CCs between mature (MII) and immature (MI) oocytes. This research is an analytic observational study. Twelve samples of CCs from mature (MII) and immature (MI) oocytes were collected after ovum pick up from patients undergoing ICSI. CCs samples were isolated using an ultrasonicator and protein expressions were quantified using ELISA method. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the protein expressions from CCs between mature and immature oocytes. The results showed HAS2, PTX3 and BCL2 proteins expressions was increase in CCs from mature oocytes but had no significant effect compared to CCs from immature oocytes, however, BAX protein expression was significantly higher (P<0.05) in CCs from immature oocytes which CCs from mature oocytes. This present study shows that BAX proteins could be used as markers for oocyte quality and maturation.

Published: November 2022

The Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius Linnaeus, 1758) is an endemic species whose presence has a major influence on forest ecology in Papua. As a frugivore, this bird plays a role in spreading the seeds of fruit trees which make up 90% of tree species in Papua's forests. However, the population of this bird in its natural habitat has decreased due to forest conversion as the population grows, and is exacerbated by hunting by the local community. Ex-situ conservation is carried out with the aim of breeding animals outside their natural habitat, so research on the daily activities of the Southern cassowary is required. This study was conducted from January 10 to February 21, 2022 on five individual Southern Cassowaries at the Bali Zoo. The method used was focal animal sampling with instantaneous recording for 30 minutes with one-minute intervals. The data obtained were tabulated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel, then described descriptively. The most common activity for the Southern Cassowary at Bali Zoo was resting (35.69%), followed by moving activities (19.69%), foraging (18.58%), preening (16.74%), alert (6.69%), vocalization (1.19%), defecation (0.48%), and urination (0.14%). This study shows that the Southern Cassowary can reflect its daily activities naturally while at the Bali Zoo conservation institution which indicates that animal welfare is fulfilled.

A research was carried out to determine the yield, content of constituent compounds, and analysis of the quality of clove leaf essential oil (Syzygium aromaticum L.) at different altitudes. The study used dry clove leaves obtained from Buleleng Regency, Bali Province with an altitude of 300 meters above sea level (masl), 600 masl, and 900 masl. Extraction of essential oils was carried out by steam distillation. The essential oil obtained was analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and the quality was tested using the quality requirements of SNI 06-2387-2006. Parameters observed were yield, identification of constituent compounds, analysis of essential oil quality including color, odor, specific gravity, and refractive index, solubility in alcohol, optical rotation, total eugenol and caryophyllene. The results showed that clove leaf essential oil in the lowlands (300 masl) had a higher yield of 2.05% and more types of active compounds than in the optimal altitude (600 masl) which was 1.45% and the highlands (900 masl) was 1.85%. The main compounds that make up clove leaf essential oil were eugenol, caryophyllene, and humulene. Other compounds were longifoline, nootkatone, naphthalene, citronellal, and cyclohexene. The clove leaf essential oil from the three heights met the quality requirements of SNI 06-2387-2006.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common infection that occurs when the number of lactobacillus spp. bacteria (vaginal flora) decreases in the vaginal canal. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus within vaginosis in order to emphasize the importance of early detection and treatment. Totally, 90 vaginal swabs were collected using speculum and swabbing. The vaginal swabs were subjected to standard microbiological testing, which included microscopy, cultures (Blood agar and Mannitol salt agar), and antibiotic sensitivity testing. The results showed that out of 90 samples, only 40 S.aureus isolates were collected. S. aureus isolates showed maximum sensitivity to gentamicin and high resistance to Cefoxitin, Erythromycin, Azithromycin, and moderate resistance to Clindamycin, Rifampicin, Ciprofloxacin, and Doxycycline. Regarding molecular detection of mecA, the results revealed that out of 40 S. aureus isolates only 22 isolates have this gene. This study concludes that S. aureus (MRSA) was the most prevalent within vaginosis with high resistance to most antibiotics.

Published: November 2022

Biocompatible gold nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by hibiscus plant leaf extract as a bioreactor. The prepared nanoparticles were evaluated using UV/Vis spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) . The study also investigated the effect of the different gamma irradiation doses on the size and dispersion of the produced nanoparticles. In UV- Vis spectra, the peak of Au NPs' surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was detected as a single peak at 543 nm. The gamma irradiation induced a blue shift in the SPR peak, which indicates that it might be applied as affective factor for size control.  Physical as well as chemical compound of gold with extract was discovered using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) analysis. SEM results indicated that the nanoparticles size was in the range from (25.61 - 48.36) nm and most of particles appeared within the nanoscale with spherical and semi-spherical shapes, moreover, the irradiation process led to development in the shape and size of synthesized nanoparticles”
2-Rowed Plane Overpartitions Modulo 8 and 16
Authors: Al-Saedi Ali H.
Published: November 2022

In a recent study, a special type of plane overpartitions known as k-rowed plane overpartitions has been studied. The function  denotes the number of plane overpartitions of n with a number of rows at most k. In this paper, we prove two identities modulo 8 and 16 for  the plane overpartitions with at most two rows. We completely specify the  modulo 8. Our technique is based on expanding each term of the infinite product of the generating function of the  modulus 8 and 16 and in which the proofs of the key results are dominated by an intriguing relationship between the overpartitions and the sum of divisors, which reveals a considerable link among these functions modulo powers of 2.

Published: November 2022

Poly [N-(1, 3-thiazo-2yl)]maleamic acid synthesized from corresponding monomer N-(1, 3-thiazo-2yl)maleamic acid (NTM) by using the process of electrochemical polymerization in aqueous solution at room temperature. The structure of the polymeric layer generated on the surface of (Low Carbon Steel (L.C.S)) (working electrode) was investigated by Fourier Transmission Infrared [FT-IR] and a scanning electron microscope [SEM]. The anticorrosion ability of a polymeric layer on low carbon steel (L.C.S) was investigated using a method of electrochemical polarization at temperatures ranging from (293 to 323) K, in a 3.50 percent NaCl solution. The activation parameters, both kinetic and thermodynamic for the L.C.S corrosion process were computed. The biological action of polymeric film had been tested against the gram positive, Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus), and the gram negative, Escherichia coli (E.coli). The result shows that polymer and polymer nanocomposite provides the best performances for corrosion protection of the L.C.S by reducing its corrosion current density in comparison with the bare L.C.S. The effect of nanomaterials has been explored by adding them to solution of the monomer for improving the anticorrosion and anti-bacterial characteristics of polymeric films. The Oxide of Graphene was the nanomaterial used in this investigation (GO).
Power-Efficient Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Datacenters using Heuristic Assisted Enhanced Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization

Published: November 2022

The increase in cloud computing services and the large-scale construction of data centers led to excessive power consumption. Datacenters contain a large number of servers where the major power consumption takes place. An efficient virtual machine placement algorithm is substantial to attain energy consumption minimization and improve resource utilization through reducing the number of operating servers. In this paper, an enhanced discrete particle swarm optimization (EDPSO) is proposed. The enhancement of the discrete PSO algorithm is achieved through modifying the velocity update equation to bound the resultant particles and ensuring feasibility. Furthermore, EDPSO is assisted by two heuristic algorithms random first fit (RFF) and random best fit (RBF) to produce hydride algorithms termed RFF-EDPSO and RBF-EDPSO. The proposed algorithms are evaluated and compared with recent algorithms to minimize power consumption. Simulation results showed the effective performance of RFF-EDPSO and RBF-EDPSO in minimizing the number of operating servers.

Published: November 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a hot area of research in recent years due to the significant advancements in the semiconductor industry, wireless communication technologies, and the realization of its ability in numerous applications such as smart homes, health care, control systems, and military. Furthermore, IoT devices inefficient security has led to an increase cybersecurity risks such as IoT botnets, which have become a serious threat. To counter this threat there is a need to develop a model for detecting IoT botnets.
This paper's contribution is to formulate the IoT botnet detection problem and introduce multiple linear regression (MLR) for modelling IoT botnet features with discriminating capability and alleviating the challenges of IoT detection. In addition, a linear discrimination analysis (LDA) model for distinguishing between normal activities and IoT botnets was developed.
Network-based detection of IoT (N-BaIoT) dataset was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed IoT botnet detection model in terms of accuracy, precision, and detection rate.  Experimental results revealed that the proposed IoT botnet detection model provides a relevant feature subset and preserves high accuracy when compared with state-of-the-art and baseline methods, particularly LDA.

Published: November 2022

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial chronic systemic autoimmune disease. It is characterized by a lack of immune tolerance to autoantigens such as nuclear antigens. The aim of the study is to assess the interferon-alpha (IFN-α) serum level in Iraqi patients with SLE and determine its potential relation to different clinical and laboratory parameters and disease activity. 100 SLE patients were all females and with a mean of age 31.3 ± 10 years (16-63years) and disease duration of 5.8 ± 3.7years (1 month to 15 years). The average of SLEDAI score ranged from 2 to 22 with a mean of (8.53 ±3.42). Proteinuria, ESR, creatinine and AST were significantly higher (65% vs. 10% and 0.62±0.11 vs. 0.70±0.14 mg/dl respectively) while the PLT was significantly lower (231.9±88.8 vs. 282.3±67.3 103/mL) (p< 0.001) among SLE patients as compared to control. Serum levels of IFN-α were increased in the SLE patients compared to control, and no significant difference has been observed (208.7±530.0 vs. 63.7±34.8 pg/ml) respectively (P=0.245). Interferon-alpha showed a significant negative correlation with the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) in the active and inactive groups. There were no significant variations in all study parameters across IFN-α serum levels (p greater than 0.05). In conclusion, the results suggest a risk effect for female gender and age in etiology of SLE. IFN-α could not be considered as biomarker or to have a risk effect in SLE patients or perpetuate the disease activity. No evidence for any correlation between the IFN-α serum level and any clinical manifestations or laboratory investigation of the disease in current study except for age and disease duration, which suggests them as a risk factor for increasing the IFN-α serum level.
