The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different dietary inclusion of raw white lupine seed meal (WL) in diets of laying hen on fatty acids (FA) profile, health lipid indices and oxidative stability of egg yolk. A total of 160 TETRA-SL LL laying hens (30-week old) were used in a ten week trial. The laying hens were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments: control diet which contained soybean meal (C), and study diets in which soybean meal was replaced with WL at 150 g/kg (E15), 200 g/kg (E20) and 250 g/kg (E25). Each treatment was replicated 5 times with 8 birds each. The inclusion of WL in experimental diets caused a linear increase in n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) content and a decrease in monounsaturated FA (MUFA), but it had no influence on the saturated FA (SFA) of egg yolk lipids. The data suggested that the partial replacement of soybean meal with WL of in laying hen diet it significant increase h/H (hypocholesterolemic/Hypercholesterolemic) and PUFA/SFA ratio, and decrease thrombogenic index (TI), which improves human health because of the beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. The authors determined the concentration of a-tocopherol by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and assessed the degree of oxidative degradation of lipids using the classical test based on the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA). Inclusion of WL in diets led to increases in a-tocopherol and decrease in MDA in eggs (P [0.05). Egg storage for 20 d or 40 d led to linear reduction in egg �-tocopherol and increase of MDA content (P [0.05). The results of the present study suggest that the seeds of modern white lupine varieties can be included at 250 g/kg in layer diets as an effective substitute for soybean meal, improving fatty acids profile, health lipid indices and oxidative stability of egg yolk.

Heart failure is a disease characterized by cardiac remodeling or progressive dilation of left ventricle and a consequent reduction in contraction. Ventricular remodeling has been shown to be a negative prognostic factor alone, and therefore the most beneficial drugs are those that prevent or reduce left ventricular dilation. The pharmacological therapy of heart failure, although maximal, has proven to be not fully effective. The aim of our research was to evaluate resynchronization therapy in a lot of patients, monitoring their cardiac performance before and after cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Published: February 2020

The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) represents a multidisciplinary medical desease due to its multiple phenotypes described and obtained as a result of various combinations of characteristic disorders: reproductive, metabolic and ovarian ultrasonographic image. The appearance of certain important complications in its evolution is possible by means of a correct management of this condition. Although the etiopathogeny of PCOS is not completely demonstrated, the early diagnosis implies the taking into consideration of the associated risk factors. The present study analyses the interdependency between the ABO blood types and the PCOS variable characteristics of a positive sample of 122 adolescents. Significant links between girls with O and B blood types and metabolic disorders have been demonstrated - some of them having protective connection and other ones as risk factors.

This article presents the performed experimental measurements for connecting a sensory feedback neuro-prosthesis to the peripheral nervous system of a patient with forearm amputation. The experiments focused on the ring finger motion�s neuron control in the forearm prosthesis and on the neural path transmission of the tactile sensation coming from the pressure sensors fitted on the small finger phalanges (F5). For the ring finger, both motor control and sensory feedback are transmitted through the ulnar nerve�s motor axons, respectively by the ulnar nerve�s sensory axons. At the beginning of this study, the topography of the ulnar nerve has been performed, in order to identify the axons by which motor controls are transmitted for the small finger movement (F5) and the axons through which small finger (F5) tactile information is transmitted. A Carl Zeiss S8 electronic microscope was used to analyze the ulnar nerve�s transverse sections for an anonymous patient. Cross sections in the ulnar nerve have been examined, from the tip of the small finger (F5) to the shoulder area. The separately mappings of motor and sensory axons from the ulnar nerve at the wrist�s level and at the elbow�s level were then performed. 3D modeling was performed using CATIA software solution for mapping the axon topography in the ulnar nerve. By means of the ulnar nerve�s 3D topographic map, the optimal place for the implantation of both motor control electrodes and small finger (F5) sensory feedback electrodes were identified in the particular case of a patient with forearm amputation. Subsequently, by surgical procedures, experimental implantation of a motor control electrode for the small finger (F5) from a neuro-prosthesis was performed as well as a sensory feedback electrode for the same finger. For the next two weeks, measurements were made while the patient has been learning to move the small finger (F5) of the neuro-prosthesis and feel the tactile sensation from this finger. After these two weeks the electrodes were extracted from the patient�s stump by surgery.

Published: February 2020

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the postoperative clinical outcomes of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction and to briefly describe the surgical procedure. The current study is a retrospective observational analysis, which included 12 patients with acute ACL and grade III MCL injuries. Combined ACL-MCL reconstruction was performed using bone-tendon-bone patellar autograft and semitendinosus and gracilis autograft, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative assessments were performed for each patient using the same protocol. Combined ACL-MCL reconstruction is associated with improved postoperative results. No recurrent knee instability was reported at the end of follow-up period. In conclusion, acute ACL and grade III MCL injuries can be successfully treated by combined ACL-MCL reconstruction, which is an effective option for the treatment of these patients, associated with good clinical results.

Published: February 2020

There is a bidirectional interaction between most immune cells and osteoblasts, osteoclasts and their precursor cells. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL)/RANK/osteoprotegerin (OPG) system plays an essential role in the formation of osteoblasts, but it also has implications in osteoclast biology and implicitly on the diseases characterized by bone loss. Proinflammatory cytokines existing at synovial level function as direct or indirect stimulators of osteoclast differentiation, but also of its survival or activity, although some cytokines may also play an antiosteocastogenic role. The fate of bone destruction is determined by the balance between osteoclastogenic and antiosteoclastogenic mediators. Our study has shown that the early initiation of the therapy with anti-TNF and anti-IL6 biological agents, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, inhibits bone destruction, regardless of the anti-inflammatory activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Lycopene and Omega-3
Authors: Margotta Maria , Guida Domenico
Published: February 2020

An ideal extraction method should be rapid, produce a quantitative recovery without degradation and the extracts should be easily separated from the solvent. Supercritical fluid technology offers features that overcome many limitations of conventional extraction methods. There are many advantages to their application, especially in the food sector (for example the extraction of lycopene from tomato skins or the extraction of fish oil rich in omega-3 from fish by-products); the extraction method influences the yield and quality of the product obtained, and also allows to operate with moderate temperatures and with shorter timescales. The processes involving SCF are sustainable, environmentally friendly and cost efficient, and offer the possibility of obtaining new products.The disadvantage, however, lies in the fact that it is necessary to use expensive equipment and to perfect the particular phases of the process to obtain a specific product.

Published: February 2020

The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity and abundance of stink bugs in Chloris distichophylla Lag (Poales: Poaceae) during the soybean and corn off-season. The work was carried out in the municipality of Cruz Alta, Rio Grande do Sul state, over the soybean and corn off-season between 2014 and 2018. 3543 adults were identified into six species: Euschistus heros (Fabricius, 1798), Dichelops furcatus (Fabricius, 1775), Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas, 1851), Edessa meditabunda (Fabricus, 1794), Edessa ruformaginata (De Geer, 1773) and Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood, 1837) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). E. heros was the most abundant, followed by D. furcatus. The diameter of the clumps directly affects the population density of the stink bugs. Finally, C. distichophylla is shown as favorable to the maintenance of the stink bug populations over the soybean and corn off-season.

Published: February 2020

The efficacy of 14 different insecticides was tested for the control of onion thrips Thrips tabaci (Lindeman, 1889) on onion in Itajaí Valley, SC during 2018. The insecticides were sprayed six times at intervals of about seven days, we evaluated the number of nymph of thrips per plant 48 hours after spray, visually rated for thrips damage at 96 DAT and total and commercial onion bulb production. Significant diferences were observed between various insecticides evaluated. The treatments formetanate hydrochloride, spinetoram and abamectin proved the best thrips control, less thrips damage and good total and commercial productivity. The insecticide profenofos + cypermethrin exhibited reduction of thrips nymph and better total and comercial production comparing control however not reduced thrips damages. The insecticides thiacloprid, thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalotrin, and Imidacloprid reduced the thrips density but had similar results for thrips damages and onion bulb production comparing with control, excepting total productivity for the neonicotinoids thiacloprid and and Imidacloprid.
Does corn phenological stage alter the attractiveness of herbivore-induced plant volatiles to the predatory lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861)?
Authors: De Oliveira Marina C. , Pereira Patricia , Peñaflor Maria Fernanda G. V.
Published: February 2020

Plant chemical defenses can affect herbivores directly or indirectly through the emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) that recruit natural enemies. Corn seedlings have high concentrations of 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) that deter aphids, but as concentration decreases over the course of plant phenology, plants become less resistant. We investigated whether corn phenological stage influences the attractiveness of Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch, 1856) - infested corn seedling volatiles to the predatory lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861). In olfactometer, lacewings preferentially oriented to volatiles from aphid-infested over those by uninfested corn seedlings at V6 or V7 stages, but did not discriminate between volatiles from uninfested and aphid-infested V5-stage seedlings. Greater numbers of aphids died in V5 corn seedlings relative to those in V6 and V7 seedlings. Our results indicate that the lack of discrimination of the predatory lacewing to HIPVs emitted by V5 corn seedlings is due to insufficient induction given that they were more resistant to R. maidis.
Constraining Orbital Periods from Nonconsecutive Observations: Period Estimates for Long-period Planets in Six Systems Observed by K2 During Multiple Campaigns
Authors: Dholakia S. , Dholakia S. , Mayo Andrew W. , Dressing Courtney D.
Published: February 2020

Most planetary discoveries with the K2 and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) missions are restricted to short periods because of the limited duration of observation. However, the re-observation of sky area allows for the detection of longer period planets. We describe new transits detected in six candidate planetary systems that were observed by multiple K2 mission campaigns. One of these systems is a multiplanet system with four candidate planets; we present new period constraints for two planets in this system. In the other five systems, only one transit is observed in each campaign, and we derive period constraints from this new data. The period distributions are highly multimodal resulting from missed potential transits in the gap between observations. Each peak in the distribution corresponds to transits at an integer harmonic of the two observed transits. We further detail a generalized procedure to constrain the period for planets with multiple observations with intervening gaps. Because long-period photometrically discovered planets are rare, these systems are interesting targets for follow-up observations and confirmation. Specifically, all six systems are bright enough (V = 10.4–12.7) to be amenable to radial velocity follow-up. This work serves as a template for period constraints in a host of similar yet-to-be-discovered planets in long baseline, temporally gapped observations conducted by the TESS mission.

Using the gamma-ray luminosity functions for blazars, including flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lac objects, as well as the Fermi-LAT detection efficiency, we estimate contributions from blazars resolved by Fermi-LAT as well as the unresolved counterpart. Combining the existing upper limits from stacking analyses, the cumulative neutrino flux from all blazars (including Fermi-LAT resolved and unresolved ones) are constrained in the range 0 ≲ γ
lw ≲ 2.5. We also evaluate the effects of the redshift evolution and the effective local number densities for each class of FSRQs, BL Lacs, and all blazars, on which we place another type of constraints on the blazar contribution using the nondetection of high-energy neutrino multiplets. We demonstrate that these two upper limits are complementary, and that the joint consideration of the stacking and multiplet analyses not only supports the argument that blazars are disfavored as the dominant sources of the 100 TeV neutrino background, but also extends it by including Fermi-LAT-unresolved blazars as well, for a more generic luminosity correlation

The detailed magnetic field structure of the starless dense core CB81 (L1774, Pipe 42) in the Pipe Nebula was determined based on near-infrared polarimetric observations of background stars to measure dichroically polarized light produced by magnetically aligned dust grains in the core. The magnetic fields pervading CB81 were mapped using 147 stars and axisymmetrically distorted hourglass-like fields were identified. On the basis of simple 2D and 3D magnetic field modeling, the magnetic inclination angles in the plane-of-sky and line-of-sight directions were determined to be 4° ± 8° and 20° ± 20°, respectively. The total magnetic field strength of CB81 was found to be 7.2 ± 2.3 μG. Taking into account the effects of thermal/turbulent pressure and magnetic fields, the critical mass of CB81 was calculated to be M
cr = 4.03 ± 0.40 M
⊙, which is close to the observed core mass of M
core = 3.37 ± 0.51 M
⊙. We thus conclude that CB81 is in a condition close to the critical state. In addition, a spatial offset of 92″ was found between the center of the magnetic field geometry and the dust extinction distribution; this offset structure could not have been produced by self-gravity. The data also indicate a linear relationship between polarization and extinction up to A

V
 ∼ 30 mag going toward the core center. This result confirms that near-infrared polarization can accurately trace the overall magnetic field structure of the core.

Dans le cadre d’une recherche collaborative internationale visant à mettre en dialogue la diversité des vécus en vue du développement d’un vivre-ensemble basé sur le respect de chacun, la question de l’accessibilité de tous à tout s’est posée. Le choix d’un support numérique de diffusion du projet a conduit certains participants à interroger les liens entre numérique et inclusion en termes d’accès à l’information, de production de ressources co-construites mais aussi d’essaimage. Cette contribution explore en quoi une plateforme numérique pensée à destination d’apprenants sourds peut participer à la mise en œuvre d’une démarche inclusive auprès d’autres publics.
Relation perçue entre l’utilisation de technologies d’aide et la perception de soi, le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle et l’anxiété aux évaluations en situation d’écriture
Authors: Dumont Michelle , Rousseau Nadia , Paquin Stacey , Boyer Priscilla , Stanké Brigitte
Published: February 2020

Nombre d’élèves éprouvent d’importantes difficultés en production écrite. Parmi les facteurs aggravants, notons la dyslexie/dysorthographie. L’utilisation des Technologies d’aide (Td’A) comme mesure d’adaptation au développement des compétences rédactionnelles chez ces élèves est alors fortement recommandée. Cette recherche longitudinale examine les apports et les limites des Td’A en écriture sur la perception de soi, le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle et l’anxiété aux évaluations d’élèves dyslexiques/dysorthographiques (N = 27) âgés de 12 à 13 ans. Tant au début qu’à la fin de l’année scolaire, les résultats indiquent que les élèves ayant la possibilité d’utiliser une Td’A en situation d’écriture manifestent une perception de soi et un sentiment d’efficacité personnelle significativement plus élevés que lorsqu’ils en sont privés. De plus, son utilisation s’avère prometteuse puisqu’elle est associée à moins d’anxiété aux évaluations aux deux temps de mesure. Les résultats obtenus sont discutés en lien avec des actions à encourager dans les écoles.

Évolution des représentations sur l’inclusion et formation continue des enseignants
Authors: Noeppel Mike , Goulet Claire
Published: February 2020

La réussite de la scolarisation des enfants en situation de handicap est reconnue comme étant liée en grande partie aux représentations positives des enseignants sur l’inclusion. Des évolutions favorables de ces représentations ont été régulièrement observées lors de stages de formation continue organisés durant plusieurs années selon un schéma globalement constant. Cette étude a pour but d’identifier les caractéristiques des dispositifs formatifs précités qui ont pu favoriser l’évolution positive des représentations des stagiaires sur l’inclusion. L’analyse a permis d’identifier trois éléments opérants (prise en compte des ressentis des enseignants – apports de connaissances sur le handicap – construction accompagnée de pratiques inclusives) afin d’en dégager des préconisations pour la formation des professionnels de l’école inclusive. Les leviers de formation seront étudiés dans une perspective andragogique et systémique.
La trajectoire politique de la notion de solidarité
Authors: Dubreu Malka
Published: February 2020

Cet article a pour objet d’analyser les variations de sens de la solidarité au prisme des politiques sociales et de se questionner sur la forme qu’elle est susceptible de prendre aujourd’hui. En effet, l’étude de la trajectoire politique de la notion de solidarité offre un point de vue pertinent sur les transformations du modèle social français, modèle qu’elle n’a cessé d’imprégner. À l’origine, la solidarité se veut être une troisième voie entre socialisme et libéralisme : c’est cette troisième voie que les gouvernants de la III e  République ont tenté de tracer avec l’élaboration des premières lois d’assistance et d’assurance. Confronté à la crise économique de 1929, ce modèle social s’est renouvelé durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour aboutir à la mise en place de l’État social, dont la forme est également un compromis, cette fois-ci entre socialisme humaniste et néolibéralisme. Ce nouveau modèle se heurte aujourd’hui au contexte économique, ce qui amène la notion de solidarité à être redéfinie par le législateur.
De la notion de solidarité à sa professionnalisation, l’emprise du genre dans cette histoire
Authors: Bousquet Cathy
Published: February 2020

L’approche sociohistorique de l’émergence du travail social permet de situer ces interventions en même temps que les fondements de la démocratie en France, au moment de l’installation de la III e  République et de l’État social, et de saisir l’indissociation entre histoire de la solidarité et histoire du travail social. Cette compréhension se double du repérage de la place du genre dans cette histoire, c’est-à-dire du système avec lequel les femmes de la période initiale – les fondatrices – ont dû composer et qui se reconduit. L’analyse ainsi produite réexamine de manière critique le cadre politique et professionnel de cette action publique et invite à un repositionnement collectif de ces interventions pour faire de la citoyenneté politique de toutes et tous le socle de leur conception dans une égalité de relation.
Le délit de solidarité en débat
Authors: Bouquet Brigitte
Published: February 2020

Le « délit de solidarité », qui n’a aucune existence juridique, est en quelque sorte un concept militant, formulé pour la première fois par le Groupe d’information et de soutien des immigrés ( gisti ) en 1995 lors d’une campagne pour dénoncer les vagues d’interpellations envers des citoyens et des bénévoles associatifs portant assistance aux migrants. Puis le terme « délit de solidarité » a été largement utilisé pour dissuader et désigner les sanctions encourues par les personnes venant en aide aux étrangers en situation irrégulière ou pour justifier des poursuites engagées sous d’autres prétextes. En juillet 2018, le Conseil constitutionnel a estimé que l’aide au séjour et à la circulation d’une personne en situation irrégulière, lorsqu’elle était faite pour des raisons humanitaires et désintéressées, ne pouvait être considérée comme délictuelle. Mais il n’a pas « aboli » l’incrimination irrégulière de l’aide à l’entrée, au séjour ou à la circulation. La menace judiciaire plane donc toujours sur les militants solidaires.
Simulation: Not Just a Manikin
Authors: Seropian Michael A. , Brown Kimberly , Gavilanes Jesika Samuelson , Driggers Bonnie
Published: February 2020

Simulation education is currently flourishing in the United States and around the world. Simulation technology has improved, and its costs have dropped. When faced with demands for more accountability for quality education and increased enrollment, disciplines and specialties are embracing the idea of simulation as a valuable tool. Frequently, institutions develop simulation programs based on a narrow understanding of the technology and teaching potential of this tool. The purchase of simulation equipment often precedes the development of a sound program “vision” and plan. Only after understanding the tools and equipment can a meaningful plan be developed.

This article introduces and clarifies the different types of simulation equipment, and attempts to make sense of the roles and limitations of these technologies. It is through this knowledge that educators and program directors can best develop programs that are educationally meaningful. Similarly, a good understanding of simulation technology and terminology will likely lead to more thoughtful and cost-effective purchases.
Long-term Outcomes After LASIK Using a Hybrid Bi-aspheric Micro-monovision Ablation Profile for Presbyopia Correction
Authors: Luger Michiel H.A. , McAlinden Colm , Buckhurst Phillip J. , Wolffsohn James S. , Verma Shwetabh , Arba-Mosquera Samuel
Published: February 2020

PURPOSE:

To evaluate visual outcomes 6 years after hybrid bi-aspheric multifocal central laser in situ keratomileusis for presbyopia correction (PresbyLASIK) treatments.

METHODS:

Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients consecutively treated with central PresbyLASIK were assessed. The mean age of the patients was 51 ± 3 years at the time of treatment with a mean spherical equivalent refraction of −0.57 ± 1.98 diopters (D) and mean astigmatism of 0.58 ± 0.57 D. Monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), corrected near visual acuity (CNVA), and distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively for the dominant eye, non-dominant eye, and binocularly. Subjective quality of vision and near vision were assessed using the 10-item, Rasch-scaled, Quality of Vision (QoV) Questionnaire and Near Activity Visual Questionnaire (NAVQ), respectively.

RESULTS:

At 6 years postoperatively, mean binocular UDVA was 20/18 ± 4 and mean binocular UNVA and UIVA were 0.11 ± 0.13 and −0.08 ± 0.08 logRAD, respectively. Spherical equivalent showed a slow hyperopic drift of +0.10 D per year with refractive astigmatism stable from 6 weeks postoperatively. Defocus curves showed an improvement of 0.4 Snellen lines at best focus from 1 to 6 years of follow-up, reaching preoperative levels. Compared to the preoperative status, the corneal and ocular spherical aberrations (at a 6-mm diameter) decreased and were stable from 3 months of follow-up. Questionnaires revealed a postoperative unaided QoV score comparable to preoperative scores and with an improved postoperative unaided NAVQ score compared to preoperative scores with best correction.

CONCLUSIONS:

Presbyopic treatment using a hybrid bi-aspheric micro-monovision ablation profile is safe and efficacious even after 6 years postoperatively. The postoperative outcomes indicate improvements in binocular vision at far, intermediate, and near distances. An 8% re-treatment rate should be considered to increase satisfaction levels, including a 3% reversal rate.

Published: February 2020

The traditional linkage of defective educational acquisition and the propensity to engage in anti-social behaviours has been accentuated in criminological theory. However, current development in ICT environment preferred for spacelessness, timelessness with its unchanging requirement for ingenuity in the use and mastery of e-interaction has consistently queried the veracity of defective education and crime participation. A survey on cyber fraud conducted in Nigeria found out that the acquisition of requisite education is central to technology-driven crime participation and guarantees continual survival and career longevity in crime business. Consequently, this article analyses the necessity of educational acquisition for crime participation and further advocated for a paradigm shift to accommodate the changing trends in the education-crime symbiotic relationship in the ICT age. This is germane to criminology of ICT in capturing and mitigating the victimization that are contactable through participation in e-relationship.

Social media and the interactive web have enabled human traffickers to lure victims and then sell them faster and in greater safety than ever before. However, these same tools have also enabled investigators in their search for victims and criminals. A prototype was designed to identify victims of human sex trafficking by analyzing online ads. The prototype used a knowledge management to generate actionable intelligence by applying a set of strong filters based on an ontology to identify potential victims. The prototype was used to analyze data sets generated from online ads. An unexpected outcome of the second data set was the discovery of the use of emojis in an expanded ontology. The final prototype used the expanded ontology to identify potential victims. The results of applying the prototypes suggest a viable approach to identifying victims of human sex trafficking in online ads.

Published: February 2020

Use of the internet by sexual offenders to communicate with children and instigate sexual relationships is an ever-increasing problem that threatens the safety and wellbeing of these victims. The present study was the first of its kind to investigate the differences between contact- and fantasy-driven offenders in terms of their use of luring communications. Seventy-three chat transcripts of conversations between offenders and undercover investigators posing as children (pseudo-children) were analyzed and coded for luring communication strategies. Results indicated that contact-driven offenders made significantly more use of the main luring steps of isolation and approach as well as the sub-steps of mental isolation, physical isolation, verbal lead ins, and physical contact. Fantasy-driven offenders made more use of the main luring step of grooming as well as the sub-step of communicative desensitization. The main implications of these findings for identification of online sexual offenders were discussed.
Cyberbullying in the Workplace
Authors: Ramdeo Shalini , Singh Riann
Published: February 2020

The information and communication technology revolution has altered the way businesses operate. The internet has increased employees' interconnectedness beyond the traditional ‘brick and mortar' workplace through virtual work platforms. However, the blurring of boundaries between work and personal spaces have created a potential threat for the proliferation of workplace cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is not restrained by time, tools, or location, as ‘work' is no longer a well-defined activity. Cyberbullying discussions have been generating research interests among researchers and practitioners for over the past decade, with pioneering studies exploring its conceptualization, prevalence, and consequences, but it is still at an embryotic stage. This article considers the unique aspects of workplace bullying and cyberbullying for policy development and effective management as concise differentiations would allow targets to identify and determine the nature of the behaviours. Possible recommendations and solutions are also advanced, with areas for future research identified.
An IBE-Based Authenticated Key Transfer Protocol on Elliptic Curves
Authors: Gupta Daya Sagar
Published: February 2020

The key exchanged using key transfer protocols is generally used for symmetric key encryption where this key is known as private key and used for both encryption as well as decryption. As we all know, many key transfer protocols including basic Diffie-Hellman protocol are proposed in the literature. However, many of these key transfer protocols either are proven insecure or had a burden of communication and computational cost. Therefore, a more secure and efficient key transfer protocol is needed. In this article, the author proposes an authenticated key transfer protocol that securely and efficiently negotiates a common session key between two end users. He calls this protocol as IBE-TP-AKE. This proposal is based on the elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) and uses the idea of identity-based encryption (IBE) with pairing. The security of the proposed work is based on the hard problems of elliptic curve and their pairing. Further, the author has shown the security of his proposed protocol and proved it using the security properties discussed later.

Health-Related Communication and Rare Diseases
Authors: Liuccio Michaela
Published: February 2020

Rare diseases are often characterized as diseases with low prevalence in population that stem from genetic disorders or environment conditions. As a result of its low prevalence and lack of knowledge of its causes, symptoms, and/or treatment, patients' access to healthcare, and their quality of life may be affected. A key challenge is also the physician-patient interaction that differs from traditional medical care settings by demanding physicians' experience in dealing, for example, with psychological problems associated with the diagnosis process. Information and Communication Technologies can facilitate the interaction between the sources of information and patients, overcoming geographical distances. This chapter discusses the role of Information and Communication to extract health data in rare diseases and reinforce physician-patient interactions. It argues that Information and Communication are crucial to meet patients' needs, drivers, and decision-making that tend to occur during the patient's journey (pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, and post-diagnosis).

Published: February 2020

Addressing risks posed by changing climate conditions in coastal areas demands innovative strategies that intersect multiple disciplines including engineering, ecology, communication, climate science, and community planning. To be usable, it also requires engaging coastal stakeholders in the development of research questions, the assessment of implications of research for planning and policy, and the communication of research results. Yet traditional, disciplinary programs are poorly configured to train the workforce needed to assess coastal climate risk and to develop and deploy integrated strategies for increasing coastal climate resilience. This chapter discuss the successes and challenges to implementing the Coastal Climate Risk and Resilience (C2R2) Initiative, a transdisciplinary program, at a large university as well as the benefits for the student and faculty participants from evaluation and student learning outcome data.
Cyber Security Techniques for Internet of Things (IoT)
Authors: Kumar Binod , Prasad Sheetal B.
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the cyber security policy is to provide guidelines on how to secure public and private resources from cyberattacks. IoT devices are having challenges managing the personal information they collect and helps to people understand that information is managed by a system. Digital twins enhance development by allowing developers to directly manipulate the device's abstract version using programming instructions. It is required to think about possible attack vectors when tuning cyber security for the IoT environment concerns. So, a security administrator is required to think the about possible vulnerabilities of the environment. Supervision and protocols must also be developed for suppliers, manufacturers, vendors, etc. The deployment of consumer understanding to make best use of “smart” strategy, using their own “smart” minds is required. There is a need for a framework or other types of guidance for assessing IoT cyber security to provide an informed approach to securing devices and the ecosystems in which they are set up.

Published: February 2020

Urban areas that are the seat of power, cities, and capital cities are often the location and base of administration where policy allocations take place and the needs of settlements are discussed and met. Therefore, rural infrastructure needs are at the mercy of urban spaces decision making. This chapter proposes and attempts to purposively select some public agencies and examine their roles in balancing the urban-rural infrastructural dichotomy. The relevance of international donors in the efficiency of the public agency was also incorporated. The study further questions the success of some of these agencies and the mode of operation of these agencies at arriving at an improved infrastructure provision for the rurally excluded.
