Emotion Recognition and Differentiation in Cannabis Abstainers Over Time: Assessing the Role of Mental Health Problems and Cannabis Withdrawal
Authors: Kumari Aradhana , Shukla Meenakshi , Singh Rakesh Kumar
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Cannabis is the second most widely-used substance in India, after alcohol. Several researches show how cannabis use can impair emotion recognition capacity, but relatively few researchers have explored this among cannabis abstainers. Aims: The present study’s authors aimed at assessing emotion recognition, emotion differentiation, self-reported anxiety, depression, stress, withdrawal intensity and impact in a sample of men who abstain from cannabis. Methods: Heavy cannabis users (N = 70 males) were assessed via questionnaires regarding their cannabis use frequency, their age at onset of usage, anxiety, depression, and stress levels as well as their performance on computerised tasks of emotion recognition and discrimination within 24 hours of their admission (T0), then after 15 days of abstinence (T1), and finally after 30 days of abstinence (T2). At T1 and T2, they were also assessed for withdrawal intensity and the impact of withdrawal on daily activities. Results: Findings revealed that, with abstinence, successive improvement in emotion recognition and emotion differentiation developed, even after accounting for declines in psychological distress from T0 to T1. However, from T1 to T2, further declines in psychological distress and withdrawal impact mainly accounted for this improvement. Happiness was the best recognised and well-differentiated emotion while the poorest discrimination was observed for anger. Conclusions: This study’s findings corroborate and significantly add to the limited existing literature, demonstrating improved emotion recognition and differentiation due to initial cannabis abstinence, but later this improvement proceeds with a decline in distress and withdrawal impact.

Η μελέτη εξετάζει την ανταπόκριση και το επίπεδο ικανοποίησής τους από τη συμμετοχή τους σε εκπαίδευση μέσα στον οργανισμό. Τα ευρήματα υπογραμμίζουν τη σημασία ενσωμάτωσης των ψηφιακών δεξιοτήτων σε προγράμματα εκπαίδευσης και κατάρτισης για τα στελέχη αντιμετώπισης των εξαρτήσεων, προκειμένου να διασφαλιστεί η προσαρμογή τους στα νέα δεδομένα και να ενισχυθεί η ικανότητά τους να «πλοηγούνται» στο εξελισσόμενο τοπίο της φροντίδας υγείας.
Overcoming False Dilemmas: An Ethics of Care Perspective on Animal Experimentation and Scientific Progress
Authors: Çekem Karun , Cem Kamözüt Mehmet
Published: September 2024

The assumption that animal experimentation is necessary for the advancement of science creates a tension between our desire for scientific progress and the need to respect the rights of animals. However, the necessity of animal experimentation for scientific progress is not well- founded. Also this tension is an extension of a false dichotomy that implies our values and objective science contradict each other. In recent years, the view that better care for animals will provide more reliable scientific data and will reduce ethical concerns regarding animal experimentation has become widespread. However, the developments in the recently emerging care literature do not offer a new ethical perspective, but only acknowledge the suffering of animals as a factor that should be taken into account within utilitarian ethics. In this article, we will try to show that a feminist ethics of care perspective that is not based on utilitarianism can lead both to a methodologically better science and an ethically acceptable scientific practice.
Dilemmas and Insights About Recognition of Plant Rights
Authors: Avcı Dursun Derya , Karabolu Gönül
Published: September 2024

Plant rights, which are relatively new compared to animal rights theories have both negative and positive aspects. Because all of the negative rights established for animals are difficult to apply to plants, it is necessary to focus on positive relational responsibilities. For this reason, instead of applying the basic principles set out by animal rights theorists to plants, we are opening up discussions on issues that would prevent arbitrary violence against plants and their total instrumentalisation. Thus, we aim to evaluate the arbitrariness applied in both ordinary states and states of exception in the context of ecocide, ecological mourning, and the relationship between law and violence.

Authors: Silva João Pedro F. , Maia Guilherme
Published: September 2024

Com o crescente processo de urbanização, a mobilidade se torna um tópico sensível. O gerenciamento do tráfego urbano de veículos é uma ferramenta chave para tornar a locomoção nas metrópoles mais eficiente. Através de sistemas de gerenciamento de tráfego (TMS), é possível coletar e processar dados em tempo real a fim de mitigar os efeitos dos congestionamentos. Um passo importante dentro deste processo é a identificação de congestionamentos nas vias urbanas. Essa identificação é feita através de modelos matemáticos, os quais existem em abundância na literatura. Este trabalho se propõe a analisar os principais modelos matemáticos através de simulações de fluxo de tráfego com o objetivo de compará-los, além de analisar o impacto da escolha do modelo no desempenho de um TMS. Enquanto muitos dos trabalhos existentes que propõem TMSs focam apenas na arquitetura do sistema, este trabalho mostra que a escolha do modelo de identificação de congestionamento tem um impacto significativo no desempenho de um TMS, resultando até 8, 2% de diferença no tempo médio de viagem variando apenas o modelo escolhido.

Published: September 2024

O Federated Learning (FL) é uma técnica distribuída para treinamento de modelos de aprendizado de máquina, em que os dados são processados localmente e apenas parâmetros locais são compartilhados com um servidor de agregação. O fato de que os dados dos clientes são mantidos localmente torna a tarefa de validar os seu parâmetros uma tarefa extremamente difícil, abrindo portas para possíveis ataques de clientes mal intencionados. Esses atacantes influenciam deliberadamente o treinamento, invalidando o modelo resultante, fazendo injeção de dados e até mesmo manipulando os parâmetros dos modelos. Sendo assim, este trabalho apresenta o RAGNAR que se utiliza de métricas calculadas durante o treinamento, para mitigar em tempo real ataques no ambiente de FL. Além disso, o RAGNAR emprega uma estratégia de agregação dos parâmetros de clientes que se adapta dinamicamente, com o objetivo de lidar com a situação atual. Avaliações experimentais demonstram que o RAGNAR reduz significativamente a perda de acurácia (31%) dos clientes participantes do treinamento e mantém bons níveis de acurácia (98%).

Authors: Chantre Hernâni D. , Fonseca Nelson L. S. da
Published: September 2024

This paper summarizes the thesis ”MEC Placement Problem in Protected 5G Networks”, which tackles the question of where to position Multiaccess edge computing nodes (MECs) in 5G networks to achieve stringent 5G requirements at a minimum cost. The thesis formulated the MEC placement problem with traditional protection schemes to provide redundancy in the event of MEC failures, and proposed a new scheme called ’enhanced shared protection 1 : N : K’. The work investigated the impact on the costs of new variations of the MEC placement approaches considering different distributions of VNFs forming SFC requests. The results indicate that the enhanced protection scheme is cost-effective, and the VNF distribution impacts significantly on the cost.

Published: September 2024

Software Defined Networking (SDN) represents a paradigm shift in network architecture, offering unprecedented control and flexibility by decoupling the control and data planes. A critical component of this evolution is the emergence of P4, a programming language designed for the data plane, enabling precise control over packet processing. Despite its potential, the use of P4 is hampered by its complexity and the steep learning curve associated with its programming model. Addressing this challenge, this paper introduces P4P4Docker, a Docker-based P4 switch container named P4Docker, aimed at simplifying the design, management, and debugging of P4 switch test beds. P4Docker also offers an intuitive GUI platform to engage with P4 programming, reducing entry barriers and fostering innovation in network design and experimentation. By providing an intuitive interface, P4Docker enables a more accessible and efficient engagement with P4 programming, offering comprehensive access to logs and system metrics. Ultimately, P4Docker represents a significant step toward making sophisticated network programming more accessible, potentially accelerating the adoption and innovation of SDN and data plane programmability.

Published: September 2024

Implementações de protocolos de rede precisam ser testadas em conjunto com boas ferramentas de depuração para garantir que a troca de pacotes segue as especificações. Embora sniffers de pacotes como o Wireshark consigam capturar qualquer pacote transitando por uma interface de rede, a ausência de dissecadores específicos para um protocolo torna a depuração tediosa e mais propensa a erros. Este artigo apresenta a ferramenta SPDM-WiD (SPDM Wireshark Dissector), um dissecador para inspeção de pacotes do Security Protocol Data Model (SPDM), um padrão aberto de comunicação para autenticação de hardware e firmware. Experimentos comprovam a eficácia da ferramenta e a sua utilidade em cenários de testes de uma implementação do SPDM.

Published: September 2024

Redes de sensores sem fio compõe a infraestrutura da Internet da Coisas, e o uso do paradigma de redes definidas por software é uma alternativa para trazer flexibilidade no compartilhamento dos recursos restritos. Mecanismos de detecção de ataques de negação de serviço são necessários. O IDIT-SDN é um mecanismo cooperativo de detecção de ataques ao plano de controle SDN que combina a detecção de anomalias distribuída com mecanismos centralizados. Devido ao armazenamento restrito, a detecção distribuída baseia-se em uma única métrica. Assim, este trabalho propõe e implementa a detecção baseada no monitoramento simultâneo de duas métricas. Resultados obtidos indicam que há aumento nas taxas de detecção, além de serem mais rápidas.

Statistical Process Control for Supporting OS-level Failure Prediction
Authors: Campos João R. , Nogueira Rodrigo Pato
Published: September 2024

Software systems are used to execute critical tasks on a daily basis. Failures can easily lead to significant losses or even loss of lives. Online Failure Prediction (OFP) tries to predict incoming failures using the current state of the system. This relies on the premise that there are symptoms (i.e., some misbehavior of the system) prior to failure, however, characterizing the (mis)behavior of a complex system is an open issue. How can we know if the failure predictors are actually modeling the symptoms, and not just identifying correlations in the data? In this work, we explore the use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) to characterize the stability and instability of the Linux Operating System (OS).

Published: September 2024

This research investigates the solid-state synthesis of lead-free (K, Na)0.5NbO3 ceramics to improve the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for energy-harvesting applications. The TENGs have developed as potential devices for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. However, traditional TENG materials frequently include lead, which raises environmental and health problems. To overcome this issue, lead-free ceramics were examined as alternative materials with superior properties. In this work, a TENG was fabricated using potassium sodium niobate (KNN) ceramics as one triboelectric layer, Kapton as the other triboelectric layer, and a flexible substrate. The aim was to create TENGs with improved performance and environmental sustainability. The output performance of the TENG was estimated to be 70 V and 1100 nA. The TENG was further used to charge capacitors, light up an LED, and harvest energy from various body motions.

This study examines the gender distribution among students, faculty, and administrative staff at the National University of Battambang (NUBB). The research investigates the sociocultural, economic, and institutional barriers to gender equality at the university, assesses the effectiveness of existing gender equality policies and initiatives, and considers the role of university leadership in advancing gender equality and fostering an inclusive culture. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The findings reveal that the number of female students significantly exceeds that of male students, yet women constitute less than 25% of the faculty and administrative staff. Despite this disparity, NUBB's commitment to implementing gender equality policies and initiatives is commendable. The university's leadership is dedicated to these efforts and actively supports advancing gender equality, which bodes well for the future. The researchers offer practical recommendations to enhance gender equality at NUBB, contributing to broader efforts to promote gender equity in Cambodian higher education institutions. The results underscore the ongoing need for policy revisions and sustained efforts to address gender imbalances and create a more equitable academic environment.

Oil palm is a plantation commodity that has a strategic role in Indonesia's economic development. The development of the palm oil industry in Indonesia is inseparable from the role of planting materials used by oil palm plantation farmers. Superior oil palm seedlings are the basic capital to achieve high productivity and quality of palm oil. The use of illegal or careless seedlings can cause a decrease in productivity of up to 50%. In contrast, by using superior quality oil palm seedlings, stable production levels can be guaranteed for 25 years, hence the type and quality of seedlings is a major concern. This community service related to superior seedling selection strategies in order to increase national oil palm productivity was carried out at KUD Kampar. KUD Kampar oversees 20 farmer groups of oil palm farmers in Kampar district, so that through this service it is hoped that the PKM Polytechnic Kampar Team can be a means for oil palm farmers in Kampar Regency to get correct and accurate information about superior oil palm seeds and be able to increase the productivity of the oil palm plantations owned by KUD Kampar farmer groups.
