Enhancing Privacy and Security in IoT Environments through Secure Multiparty Computation
Authors: Haterd Rik van de , Elhajj Mohammed
Published: May 2024

With the increasing influence of IoT devices in our daily lives, secure data-sharing is becoming ever more important. Sensors and other devices are communicating vast amounts of possibly unencrypted data, which poses a significant privacy concern. To tackle this problem, this research implements two Partially Homomorphic Encryption (PHE) schemes, RSA and the Paillier cryptosystem, to perform Secure Multiparty Computation (SMPC) in the resource-constrained IoT environment. The environment consists of a laptop connected to an Arduino Uno through a serial connection. The RSA-based SMPC protocol has an average completion time of 2007ms. However, due to the inability to use padding, RSA lacks semantic security. Conversely, the Paillier-based protocol is semantically secure but cannot complete the encryption due to dynamic memory issues. Even if resolved, the estimated encryption time exceeds 103.3 minutes. Despite the potential of SMPC in IoT environments for secure data handling, the results from this research suggest that directly implementing PHE schemes on Arduino is not practical based on the observed limitations.

Malagasy spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae), a taxonomic review of genera from Madagascar
Authors: Bucher Manon , Bouteille Émilien , Le Cesne Maxime
Published: May 2024

The nine genera of Malagasy spittlebug are revised, with the addition of new characters, facilitating the identification of the species. Nesaulax Jacobi, 1917, is synonymized with Amberana Distant, 1908, leading to a new combination for Amberana vittipennis (Bergroth, 1894). A new endemic genus Soulierana Bucher & Bouteille gen. nov. is proposed for two species originally placed in Literna Stål, 1866, based on morphological characters of the head, tegmina and male genitalia. Also, three new species are described in this genus: Soulierana bigidea Bucher gen. et sp. nov., Soulierana claudinae Bouteille gen. et sp. nov. and Soulierana kelymena Le Cesne gen. et sp. nov. Pictures of species and drawings of the male genitalia for all genera, with the exception of Rhinaulax Amyot & Serville, 1843, Alluaudensia Lallemand, 1920 and Literna, are included. An identification key is available in both a dichotomous format and an interactive format (Xper3).
Thoracic Frozen Section Pitfalls: Lung Adenocarcinoma Versus Selected Mimics
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Sanjay
Published: May 2024

Context.—

Intraoperative (frozen section) analysis of lung lesions (nodules, masses, ground-glass opacities) can occasionally be diagnostically challenging.

Objective.—

To describe selected pitfalls in thoracic frozen sections with a focus on the differential diagnosis between adenocarcinoma and its mimics, and to provide tips to prevent misinterpretation.

Data Sources.—

Peer-reviewed literature and the author’s experience.

Conclusions.—

A common challenge in thoracic frozen sections is the differential diagnosis between lung adenocarcinoma and its mimics. Diagnostic difficulties arise because mimics of adenocarcinoma often entrap reactive lung epithelium that can appear atypical on frozen section slides. Entities that can be misinterpreted as adenocarcinoma include ciliated muconodular papillary tumor/bronchiolar adenoma, hamartoma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, and pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Knowledge of the key clinical, radiologic, and histologic features of these entities can help prevent overdiagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Pathologic findings that facilitate the distinction between adenocarcinoma and its mimics at frozen section include the appearance and contour of the lesion at low magnification, growth patterns, cilia, stromal features, shape of the epithelial cells (cuboidal versus columnar), nuclear features of malignancy (crowding, hyperchromasia, irregular contours), and abruptness of the junction between the lesion and adjacent uninvolved lung. Knowledge of the clinical context, imaging findings, and the surgical consequence of the intraoperative diagnosis can also prevent diagnostic errors. Finally, since adenocarcinomas of the lung are often relatively bland and lack the stromal desmoplasia seen in adenocarcinomas of other organs, familiarity with the morphologic spectrum of lung adenocarcinomas at frozen section analysis is important.

Authors: Elan Maulani Isma , Kholipah Siti Ainul , Rihadatul Aisy Mamduh
Published: May 2024

In an era of rapid growth in information technology, the enormous benefits generated are also accompanied by significant security risks. This research was conducted by an independent security researcher, Isma Elan Maulani, to identify and analyze security vulnerabilities on the Cirebon District Health Service website. The focus of the research centered on the "Search" page, where the main finding was the presence of a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. XSS opens up the potential for attackers to insert and execute JavaScript scripts within web pages, threatening the security and integrity of data. Tests involving custom input successfully proved that JavaScript scripts could be executed without any sanitization or protection.

Clinical evaluation of soft tissue dimension increase by use of osmotic expanders in guided bone regeneration procedures
Authors: Briguglio Francesco
Published: May 2024

Introduction: The success of hard tissue regeneration techniques in the pre-implantation phase is correlated with the primary healing of the surgical wound. For this reason, the essential moment in the implementation of this procedure is the passivation of the flaps and their sufficient mobilization. Aim: The study aimed to obtain an increase in the soft tissue volume using surgical expanders and then proceed with guided bone regeneration techniques. Case presentation: Two patients presented for implant procedures with clinically and radiologically confirmed diagnoses of bone tissue atrophy and fibrous scars on soft tissues which were to be healed in the phase of pre-implantation preparation. Osmed® expander, which was used in the procedure, consists of a hydrogel, a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and N-vinylpyrrolidone, and is contained in a cylindrical perforated silicone sheath. The final soft tissue expansion after 4 weeks was increased in volume by about 38%. Conclusion: The technique of increasing the volume of soft tissue with the use of an expander enabled the increase of soft tissues in a separate surgical procedure, freeing the surgeon from the relaxation of the flap during the phase of implanting the artificial bone, and thus excluding possible disturbing factors that interfere with the primary healing of the wound during that surgical procedure.
The elements of conceptism in the "Dream of the Last Judgement" of Francisco de Quevedo
Authors: Lazarević Jelena
Published: May 2024

The objective of this paper is to explain the definition of conceptismo as a literary and social movement with its most relevant characteristics, illustrated in "The Visions" of Francisco de Quevedo, one of the key baroque authors of the Spanish literature, through analyzing the initial vision - The Last Judgment. This cycle was written between the years 1606 and 1623 in the Spanish monarchy, a country filled with contrasts and enormous social differences. In each of the five Visions, Quevedo criticizes the social situation and the prominent archetypes of the Spanish society. The piece was written implementing sharp language, enriched with metaphor, contrasts, hyperbole and caricatures wrapped in satire: expressed both in discrete and bold manners. These artistic choices give unique literary nuances to the literary text and help the reader easily imagine Quevedo's world. A world in which everything is possible, even the equal treatment of the rich and the poor, leastwise after death. Both an absolute conceptualist and a strong satirist, Francisco de Quevedo does not miss a single opportunity to highlight injustices and make fun of what he considers relevant in the social sphere, treating the physical as the most visible, while paying the greatest attention to the moral aspects. Through a comparative study of the corpus chosen for this paper, forming conclusions about the social status in the Kingdom of Spain is expected, as well as a better understanding of its illustration through the artistic and literary choices of the author. Due to the detailed descriptions of the human nature and behaviors, which can be seen as universal archetypes, Quevedo's "Visions" maintain their relevance to this day, as well as capture the attention of the contemporary reader.
A Set of Finite Elements for 2D Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Foundations on Deformable Subsoil
Authors: Szajna Waldemar
Published: May 2024

The paper presents a formulation and verification of a 2D soil – structure interaction model which enables the analysis of reinforced concrete shallow foundations under monotonic short-time loads. The structure supported by a deformable subsoil, whose elasto-plastic features are being considered. The structure model describes: the ability of crack creation, non-linear stress – strain characteristics of concrete and reinforcement and also reinforcement – concrete interaction. The foundation – subsoil contact model enables the identification of slide and adhesion zones.
The presented mathematical formulation allowed for the development of a set of finite elements simulating the behaviour of the foundation, the subsoil and the contact zone between them. The elasto-plastic approach was used to describe the behaviour of the structure, the subsoil and the contact phenomena. Computer programs were prepared and verifying analyses were presented.

Introduction: high blood pressure is highly prevalent in the world. 37 % of the Cuban population (over 15 years old) suffers from this disease. Aaron Antonovsky’s salutogenic model provides a novel approach to nursing care from prevention and health promotion. Its main objective is to offer people strategies that allow them to use their own resources to improve their health through increasing the sense of coherence and general resistance resources.
Objective: establish the relationship between the sense of coherence and age, sex and educational level in hypertensive people
Methods: a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study was carried out. The sample consisted of 130 hypertensive adults, treated at medical office number 36 of the Hermanos Cruz health area, Province of Pinar del Río. The ages ranged from 20 to 60 years. The questionnaire composed of 13 items “Life Orientation” by Antonovski was used. Student’s t statistical methods and analysis of variance were used to compare the relationship of the values resulting from the questionnaire with sex, age and educational level.
Results: 81,53 % of hypertensive people have a sense of coherence at high and medium levels. The sense of coherence is related to educational level and age, but not to sex differences.
Conclusions: the sense of coherence is a salutogenic resource to take into account for the development of interventions and research that contribute to improving the coping strategies of hypertensive patients

Published: May 2024

Introduction: breast carcinoma is the most common neoplasm among women. One of the current problems isthe emergence of drug resistance. Cathepsin B is a cysteine protease that is overexpressed in tumor tissue. Thesearch for new therapeutic alternatives derived from the nitroxoline nucleus constitutes an encouraging solutionagainst the disease.Objective: to evaluate in silico potential cathepsin B inhibitors as therapeutic targets in the treatment of breastcarcinoma.Methods: from the PubChem database, 12 ligands derived from the nitrosoline nucleus were obtained, which were converted to 3D and their energy was minimized by applying the GAFF force field. The specific characteristics of the protease active site were determined with the Proteins Plus web server to carry out molecular docking studies with Autodock Tools.Results: ligands 1511784, 14125599 and 45487202 showed a favorable affinity energy (ΔG=-5,56; -5,51 and-5.08 respectively) and inhibition constant by inhibiting key residues of the catalytic site of cathepsin B. Theamino acids were: His199, His110, His111, Gln23 and Gly198. The main interaction was by hydrogen bonding.Conclusions: nitrosoline contains anticancer properties. Ligands 1511784, 14125599 and 45487202 constitutepotential drugs against breast cancer. Therefore, in silico analyzes reduce the cost of current research andcontribute to the specificity and immunogenicity of therapies and pharmacological biosafety

Penggunaan Model Land Use Regression untuk Memprediksi Distribusi  Spasiotemporal Materi Partikulat. Polusi udara ambien di wilayah perkotaan merupakan salah satu isu lingkungan dan  kesehatan yang penting. Polutan udara, terutama materi partikulat (PM) mampu mempengaruhi kesehatan manusia bahkan ketika terpapar dengan konsentrasi rendah. Model Land use regression (LUR) telah banyak digunakan untuk menggambarkan distribusi spasial dan temporal partikulat berukuran <2,5µm (PM2.5) dan <10µm (PM10) dengan berbagai variabel prediktornya. Studi ini mengkaji kemampuan model LUR yang digunakan untuk memprediksi distribusi spasial dan temporal PM10 dan PM2,5 di wilayah perkotaan dengan cara memodelkan konsentrasi polutan dengan variabel prediktornya berdasarkan prinsip regresi linier.  Berbagai studi terdahulu mengenai model LUR yang telah dipublikasikan pada tahun 2016 – 2023 dikaji untuk mengetahui variabel prediktor penting yang menentukan konsentrasi partikulat, kemampuan model LUR, serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kemampuan model LUR dalam memprediksi distribusi spasial-temporal dari konsentrasi PM10 dan PM2,5. Database yang digunakan berasal dari beberapa studi terdahulu yang relevan dengan tujuan studi ini. Data diperoleh melalui kajian literatur pada sumber data elektronik, yaitu Google Scholar. Model LUR mampu menjelaskan variasi spasial–temporal dari konsentrasi PM2.5 sebesar 26%-84% dan PM10 sebesar 45%-70%. Model LUR menunjukkan faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap PM2,5 adalah lalu lintas (volume lalu lintas, jarak ke jalan besar, panjang semua tipe jalan, dan intensitas lalu lintas), kepadatan penduduk, penggunaan lahan (industri, residensial, ruang terbuka hijau, dan area komersil), geografi dan meteorologi. Sedangkan PM10 sangat dipengaruhi oleh  kegiatan transportasi. Faktor yang memperngaruhi kemampuan model LUR untuk memprediksi PM adalah jumlah titik pantau PM10 dan PM2,5 yang menjadi input data dalam pemodelan LUR. Kemampuan prediksi model LUR untuk PM10 dan PM2.5 akan meningkat ketika jumlah titik pemantauan 40-80 titik. Pemodelan LUR mampu menggambarkan distribusi spasial-temporal materi partikulat dan memprediksi konsentrasi PM10 dan PM2,5 di area yang tidak dilakukan pemantauan.
