Maintaining Zero Trust With Federation
Authors:   Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), Alexandria, Virginia USA., Simpson William R. , Foltz Kevin E.
Published: May 2021

Federated activity presents a challenge for enterprises with high-level security architectures. Federation involves information sharing among services and with working partners, coalition partners, first responders, and other organizations. Federation may be unilateral or bilateral with similar or dissimilar information-sharing goals. Strong internal security, including zero trust controls, often do not extend cleanly across enterprise boundaries, potentially leading to insecure shortcuts and workarounds that can become the rule instead of the exception. This paper presents methods for an enterprise to extend its zero trust security policies to include federation partners. It applies to federation partners that support the same security policies with compatible standards and services and to partners that provide a similar but incompatible security framework, a subset of required security services, or no security services. The partner organization may be fully trusted, partially trusted, or untrusted. Even for trusted partners, the services may not meet required security standards. Our solution combines selected partner security services, internal services, derived credentials, delegated authorities, and supplemental services to form the federation security architecture based on zero trust premises to the maximum extent. This paper uses the Zero Trust for Enterprise (ZTE) architecture as the starting point for a secure enterprise and addresses the challenge of extending this model to federate with different types of partners. We review the security approach, the security properties, and several options for an enterprise to maintain the ZTE security properties while enabling federated sharing with other enterprises that have different capabilities and levels of trust

Book Review: Teologi Crucis di Asia Pandangan-Pandangan Orang Kristen Asia Mengenai Penderitaan Dalam Kemiskinan dan Keberagamaan di Asia
Authors: Aritonang Arthur
Published: May 2021

Buku ini merupakan disertasi doktoral Andreas A. Yewangoe saat studi di Vrije Universiteit di Amsterdam, Belanda. Isinya menyajikan  potret kemiskinan di Asia yang ketika itu sedang mengalami penjajahan bangsa-bangsa Barat maupun Jepang. Dalam buku ini Yewangoe menyoroti persoalan kemiskinan secara khusus di Indonesia.  Benua Asia dikenal oleh negara Barat sebagai benua yang religius oleh karena di dalamnya terdapat keanekaragaman agama. Namun sebagian besar penduduknya berada di garis kemiskinan. Fakta tersebut mendorong Yewangoe mengajukan beberapa pertanyaan yang kritis yang menjadi pokok analisis dalam disertasinya. Mengapa justru negara yang religius memiliki populasi orang miskin sangat banyak? Apakah agama melegitimasi adanya penderitaan akibat kemiskinan penderitaan? Untuk kepentingan apakah penderitaan karena kemiskinan itu? Yewangoe dalam bukunya ini menggunakan beberapa perspektif analisis diantaranya: historis, sosial, politik, ekonomi maupun budaya. Dengan demikian melalui buku ini pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut akan terjawab secara lengkap.
Comparisons of Religions in the Ius Commune of the Late Middle Ages: Functions and Criteria
Authors: Woelki Thomas
Published: May 2021

In medieval legal commentaries, comparisons of religions served—above all—as an egress from structural imbalance: numerous regulations pertaining to Jews and heretics are contrasted by only a few regulations regarding Gentiles and Muslims. Lawyers applied three main criteria of comparison: a dogmatic proximity to Christianity; a weighing up of the guilt of sin; and the implications for the social order. Depending on the criterion, the results of these comparisons could be varied. The dogmatic proximity of Judaism to Christianity and the social compatibility of Jewish with Christian life continued to be emphasized until early modern times. The privileged position of the Jews, inherited from Roman law, was however ultimately replaced by a comparatively better social position of the Muslims. In the process, fragments of theological discourse were selectively adopted. A special dynamic of legal development can be observed on the Iberian peninsula in particular.
SPECIFIČNOSTI SAVREMENE SOCIJALNE STRUKTURE SA POSEBNIM AKCENTOM NA
ZEMLjE BRIKS‐A U GLOBALNOJ EKONOMIJI
Authors: Dugalic Nenad
Published: May 2021

The process of economic and political globalization has a major impact
on the integrity and sovereignty of national states. This pressure is felt
most by developing countries and countries in transition. Also, social
inequality is unavoidable for the countries members of BRICS, whose
societies are already under the influence of negative activities of
modern industrial development. Never before, has the economic
activity produced so much material wealth in such a short period of
time, and at the same time, it has degraded the natural environment to
a large degree. Inequality in income between and within the states
themselves is growing. It is reflected in the fact that less and less
wealthy individuals have an increasing share of capital, while, on the
other hand, there is a growing number of those who are below the
poverty line. The working class is evenin a more difficult situation,
taking into account ever worse working conditions and a reduction in
salaries. All this led to the breakdown of the social component.
However, in such social circumstances, the role of the state as a
regulator of economic activities is crucial. The benefits of globalization
have to be evenly distributed, and that is why institutions and policies
are needed to prevent global imbalances of theworld development in
the future. The more and more frequent demands for reducing the role
of the state and its regulations have not been achieved. On the
contrary, its activities have increased in many areas, with only a
changed mode of operation. The emphasis is placed on economic
growth and development, and less on the direct solution of social
issues.

Rönesans dönemi felsefi, sanatsal ve bilimsel açıdan tarihte önemli bir kavşak noktası teşkil etse de bu dönemi homojen olarak nitelendirebilmek oldukça güçtür. Aydınlanmacı paradigma tarafından Hümanizm üzerinden insanın yeniden keşfi vurgusu ile Aydınlanma serüveninin başlangıç noktasına tarihlendirilen bu dönemin düşüncesi Yeni Platonculuk, Kabalacılık ve çeşitli mistik akımlardan beslenerek eklektik bir yapı sergilemektedir. Söz konusu dönemin ruhunun ezoterik, heretik ve mistik eğilimlerinden dolayı modernliğin başlangıcı olarak nitelendirmek zor olsa da mimari ve resim alanında yaşanan kimi gelişmeler modernlik ile kronikleşecek bazı pratikleri doğurmuştur. Önce mimari ardından resim alanında doğrusal perspektifin icadı, öznelerin çevresi ile kurdukları ilişkileri kökten ve kalıcı olarak değiştirmiştir. Sanat deneyiminin günlük yaşamın pratiklerine etkisi yirminci yüz yıl ile birlikte daha belirgin olmuştur. Günümüzün etik, politik ve ekolojik krizlerinin müsebbibi olan insan-merkezli yaklaşımın temelini bu dönemin doğrusal perspektifi sayesinde kazanılan görme biçimi ile ilişkilendirmek ve tartışmak bu makalenin amacı olacaktır.

Securing Shareholder Information in the Digital Age – An Analysis of the Proposed Amendments to Section 26 of the Companies Act
Authors: Njotini Mzukisi
Published: May 2021

Amending company legislation has become a common occurrence in South Africa. The legislature has passed a number of statutes to alter the principles regulating corporate entities. It is noteworthy that the Companies Act 71 of 2008 is the most substantial of these amending statutes. This Act harmonised the legal principles governing the operation of companies, and brought companies closer to the developmental needs of society. It sought to promote economic grown, investor confidence and foreign investment, and accelerate the transportation of goods and services globally. Because of the need for companies to continue to promote innovation, the legislature proposed measures to repeal certain provisions of the Companies Act. Clause 4 of the Companies Amendment Bill of 2018 contains the proposed changes. The provision supports one of the cardinal ideals of an information society — to improve the free flow of information. However, the challenge with the section 4 provisions is that they are likely to endanger the sanctity of personal information stored online. Specifically, it is not completely clear to what extent the proposed amendments will enhance the integrity of online information, as opposed to weakening it.
A Reflective Assessment of Selected Problematic Aspects of South Africa’s Appraisal Remedy Regime Against the Backdrop of Cilliers v La Concorde Holdings Ltd
Authors: Mudzamiri J , Osode PC
Published: May 2021

Several policy rationales have been offered as justifications for the new appraisal remedy, including its functioning as a credible exit vehicle for disgruntled shareholders upon receipt of payment of a ‘fair value’ for their shares. However, against the backdrop of the High Court decision in Cilliers v LA Concorde Holdings Ltd, this article explores two problematic issues regarding the practical application of the appraisal remedy. The first issue relates to who may access the remedy, while the second relates to the complexity, costs, and rigidity of the procedure that must be followed to access successfully the inherent benefits of the appraisal remedy. The paper argues, in the first instance, that the court’s decision in Cilliers to allow disgruntled shareholders in a holding company to access appraisal rights in relation to a subsidiary is salutary; and, secondly, that the complexity, costs, and rigidity of the appraisal procedure can be alleviated through the revision of some of the underlying statutory provisions.
The Impact of Deepfakes on the Right to Identity: A South African Perspective
Authors: Mashinini Nomalanga
Published: May 2021

The right to identity aims to protect the subjective interests of individuals in their likeness, image, voice, and other distinctive personality attributes. The right to identity is legally recognised in South Africa, but deepfakes have a tendency to devalue this right. Deepfakes are created with deep learning software that enables users to create deceptive videos, sound recordings, and photographs of events and people that are indistinct from reality. This goes against a person’s right to control the use of their likeness. South African law does not directly regulate the creation and publication of deepfakes. Liability for the publication of deepfakes may be established using principles in different fields of law, such as the law of delict and criminal law. However, the dissemination of deepfakes on the internet continues to evolve, as they become more difficult to detect, and this necessitates a new perspective on how to provide sufficient remedies for victims whose right to identity is violated through deepfakes. It also calls for the refinement of establishing the liability of people who are tagged to deepfakes posted on social media. This article aims to highlight the challenges in protecting the right to identity and establishing liability under South African law in the context of deepfakes.

Authors: Bersenev Evgeniy Yu. , Dubinin Vladimir I. , Ermakov Vyacheslav M. , Kirpicheva Anna I.
Published: May 2021

Introduction. To create a regulatory framework, including harmonized with European normative documents in terms of assessing passengers’ comfort, the standard of the enterprise STO RZD “Services in railway transport was developed. Rules for assessing the level of comfort of passengers on trains.” The objective of the study is to compare the indices of the comfort level of passengers, determined by the values of the accelerations acting on them, with the psychological sensations and physiological changes in the body arising in this case, depending on the rolling stock and the state of the track. Material and methods. The experiment using ECG monitoring devices was carried out in four groups of eleven people, six men and five women aged 30-55 years. Additionally, in each group, a psychological survey of 11 more passengers was carried out. All of them were staff members of the Russian Railways divisions. Results. When traveling on high-speed trains “Lastochka” and “Sapsan,” the respondents more often note drowsiness and an exhausted state’s progression. At the end of the trip, they often emphasize stiffness, discomfort, numbness, and numbness of the leg muscles, probably associated with an extended stay in a forced position in the absence of specific freedom movements. In the “lying” position, a person experiences less fatigue, which, according to the sensations, hardly differs from the conditions of a trip in a “sitting” position during short journeys. Regulatory changes in the cardiovascular system are manifested with the combined influence of uncanceled accelerations (the impact of centrifugal forces) and movement speed changes. Conclusion. Carrying out a questionnaire survey and physiological measurements of the dynamics of heart rate fluctuations on the investigated sections of the routes in combination with the obtained technical data on the nature of mobile rail vehicles’ movement confirm the absence of critical discomfort for passengers when traveling on passenger and high-speed trains. The calculated values of the average and constant comfort levels are consistent and do not require correction of the corresponding scales’ values.
Health status and some indices of the day mode of preschool children as predictors of readiness for school learning
Authors: Sugrobova Galina A. , Komkova Yuliia N.
Published: May 2021

Introduction. Low health potential and irrationally organized daily routine of preschool children can be predictors in the structure of causes of violations of cognitive development and behavior of the child. Material and methods. An analysis of the health status of children aged 6 to 7 years old divided by age into three groups: 6-6.5, 6.5-7, and 7-7.5 years. Some indices of the preschool children’s daily routine, including sleeping and walking, were evaluated from the data taken from a questionnaire of parents and teachers. Results. Analysis of the health groups of children aged 6 to 7.5 years old revealed the predominance of group II (48.46%). The number of children who fit into the first health group decreases from 6 to 7.5 years of age. The abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system of the body and ENT diseases, most chronic diseases, prove to be dominated conditions. Boys under seven years of age are significantly more likely to have functional mental disorders and ENT diseases. In general, according to the availability of daytime sleep, the mode of stay of preschoolers differs by 80.0% sleep during the day in kindergarten; 36.3% sleep at home. The length of night sleep in 77.7% of children does not meet the age norms. During the day outside of a preschool educational institution, the outdoor walks are noted in 76.1% of six to seven-and-a-half-year children. The duration of the walk, only in 24.1%, corresponds to the norm. The survey results did not reveal significant differences in the availability of daytime and nighttime sleep in children, depending on age. The number of children who have outdoor walks in their routine daily increases from 6 to 7.5 years of age. The duration of walks is dominated by boys in older age groups. Conclusion. Children’s health potential and daily routine have their own characteristics during the preschool period, which can be considered a risk of developing maladaptation in upcoming systematic training at school.
Impact of lead acetate and sodium and potassium stearates on lipid peroxidation processes in the body of experimental animals
Authors: Fedoriv Olha Ye. , Kopach Alexandra Ye. , Melnyk Nataliia A.
Published: May 2021

Introduction. Given the significant prevalence of lead in the environment, research in this area has significant social and economic importance. Lead compounds are characterized by high toxicity and increased ability to cumulate in ecosystems, humans, and animals. Lead enters the human body with food, drinking water, atmospheric air, and smoking. Lead causes pathological changes in the nervous system, blood-forming organs, kidneys, etc. Materials and methods. The experiments were carried out on four groups of white female rats, each included seven animals, weighing 150-200 g. The first group of animals was a control. The second group consumed dechlorinated water from the city water supply, followed by lead acetate. The animals from the third and fourth groups drank the same water with sodium stearate and potassium stearate content in a dose of 1/250 LD50. After the 40th-day of the use of these waters, the animals were orally administered lead acetate at a dose of 7 mg/kg. The levels of lipid peroxidation biomarkers were studied by studying the content of diene conjugates (DC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood serum, liver, and kidney homogenates. Results. The administration of 1/2 acetate LD50 to lead in experimental rats drinking water with stearates was accompanied by a significant increase in the DCs concentration and (MDA) in animals. Higher concentrations of LPO products were observed in the group of animals that consumed water from potassium stearate. Conclusions. 1. With the oral administration of lead acetate against the background of drinking water containing stearates at a dose of 1/250 LD50, an increase in lipid peroxidation indices was noted compared with the control group. 2. Higher concentrations of LPO products were observed in the group of animals consuming water from potassium stearate.
Estimation of the influence of deicing materials influence on single-cell organisms: a case study of Tetrahymena pyriformis
Authors: Donerian Larisa G. , Vodyanova Mariia A.
Published: May 2021

Introduction. Deicing materials (DIM) have technical recommendations for the application to ensure road safety. However, they do not have shared values governing their permissible levels for environmental objects and public health. There are no guidelines for assessing their toxic properties either. The research shows that to solve practical goals, it is necessary to scientifically substantiate the methodology of hygienic assessment of DIMs as a separate group of substances, taking into account their effective concentrations bio testing methods. DIM are saline solutions, and therefore it is worth considering a cell or a unicellular organism as a model to predict their effect on biological objects. However, the methodology for assessing environmental objects’ toxicity using Tetrahymena pyriformis ciliates has been approved only for domestic water supply. The purpose of this study is to update the methodology for determining the toxicity of DIM solutions by the generative function of Tetrahymena pyriformis ciliates. It considers the high salt content appropriate within the framework of a comprehensive hygienic assessment of reagents. Materials and methods. The research made an ecotoxicological assessment of 2 deicing materials with different ratios of chlorides of alkali and alkaline-earth metals and evaluating the same reagents’ actual chemical composition using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ion chromatography. Results. The obtained data indicated less pronounced toxicity of DIM with increased content of calcium ions. The permissible levels of DIM influence on the studied test object have been determined. A control comparison sample is provided. Conclusion. The obtained results specify the need to expand the list of controlled indices in the existing methodology. To assess the toxicity of saline solutions using ciliates, the substantial additions must include studying the morphology of cells in the acute experiment (6 hours), in case of their death within the first hour; it is necessary to control their secondary appearance.
Identify the relationship between personality factors and empathy for animals.

Published: May 2021

This paper aims to outline a psychological profile of people who show empathy for animals, taking into account personality factors and attachment style. Although in recent years research on the relationship between humans and animals has grown considerably, and every day more and more research is published exploring the links between humans, animals, empathy and behavior, in Romania this topic has not been of much interest. , given the tiny number of researches in this area. Empathy is often studied because it relates to humans, but there is a growing interest in the relationship, development and its impact on animals. This interest is often driven by a curiosity in the role of empathy as an internal motivator for changing pro-environmental behavior. As with many internal affective responses, the connection is not always directly clear, but growing evidence suggests that empathy may influence the likelihood of pro-environmental behaviors. It can be said with certainty that empathy can play an important role in understanding the experiences and needs of animals, and can be considered as a potential way to preserve emotional behaviors.

Deviant teachings that are contrary to the recognised religions often disturb the peace and harmony of society. The aspect of aqidah (faith) is the core of religion for a Muslim. This paper explained the applicable statutory provisions of law in dealing with cases of deviant teachings in Malaysia. This paper attempted to relate instances of deviant teachings and the penalties prescribed by the Shariah Law as well as other general law. The paper also tried to provide exposure to the clauses contained in the existing legal provisions and significant forms of punishment. The methodology adopted in this paper was doctrinal in nature whereby methods of library research were resorted to in collecting data related to the statutory provisions governing deviant teachings and criminal offences relating to aqidah. Statistics showed that the number of cases for deviant teaching is increasing each year. The findings from this research showed that the current punishment and penalty are not sufficient to curb the offence committed and to create awareness among the public. This paper suggested that the relevant authorities should increase the severity of the punishment and widen the jurisdiction to control cases of deviant teaching in Malaysia. Members of the Muslim community should be given more exposure on its importance.

Published: May 2021

Beneficial interest at home is a very fundamental element of a marriage institution. When a couple ties the knot, wanting to spend the rest of their lives together, such relationship will give rise to many implications, be it legal or social. Such legal implications will continue throughout their lives not only as husband and wife, but will also become more apparent if the union between these two is broken. Hence, issues relating to distribution of property, especially matrimonial property, need to be handled as subtle as possible, alongside other ancillary claims such as maintenance and custody. The existence of both legal and beneficial interests in a property has enabled the court to resolve claims relating to ownership by looking at the existence of common intention to share beneficial ownership. Thus, this article examines the ways on how the court has utilized the concept of trust in dealing with disputed issues on matrimonial property. The study adopted a qualitative methodology where data were collected through library research. It analysed statutes, books, journals, reports, conference proceedings and other periodicals. The study concludes that the use of law of trust in the distribution of matrimonial property has become obvious since trust will be the best option to be used in resolving matters relating to any disputed property.

Published: May 2021

This paper provides an approach in the knowledge and use of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) in the Spanish Footwear Industry, under an exploratory research in a sample of 80 firms. Size plays a crucial role in its knowledge, interest and implementation. Those offering the broader range of products by users, are more likely to have a BSC implemented. Data suggests that BSC implementation is independent of industry and country. Who fills the questionnaire is key: top managers are most reliable.
Effects of extensive bleeding in pigs on laboratory biomarkers
Authors: Larsson Anders , Strandberg Gunnar , Lipcsey Miklós , Eriksson Mats
Published: May 2021

Background: During hemorrhage and resuscitation, clinical and laboratory monitoring is useful to guide further management. However, acute changes in the biochemistry due to blood loss and subsequent crystalloid fluid resuscitation have not been fully studied.

Materials and methods: Twelve anesthetized, juvenile pigs were used. Atraumatic exsanguination, corresponding to a total blood loss of 40%, was performed through a catheter and completed 2 h after initiation of the experiment. Arterial samples were analyzed by point-of-care testing and venous samples were analyzed. Oxygen delivery was calculated.

Results: Shortly after 40% hemorrhage and concomitant fluid supplementation, there were significant reductions in arterial hemoglobin and hematocrit (approximately 25%, respectively). Oxygen delivery was less than half of the baseline value. Lactate in arterial blood was more than doubled after 40% exsanguination. On average, no other clinically significant changes in any of the analytes were observed, but interindividual dispersion was pronounced.

Conclusions: Acute exsanguination was associated with decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and increased lactate levels but limited effects on the other biomarkers that were studied. Increased levels of biomarkers in severely bleeding patients could indicate tissue damage and the source should be further investigated.
Low-Dose Dexamethasone as an Adjuvant for Prolonging the Duration of Brachial Plexus Block with Bupivacaine—a Prospective Randomised Controlled Study
Authors: Hariharan Seetharaman
Published: May 2021

Objectives
Dexamethasone, in the dose of 8 mg or higher, has been advocated to be used as an adjuvant to prolong the duration of brachial plexus blocks with local anaesthetics. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that a lower dose of dexamethasone (4 mg) added to bupivacaine would prolong the duration of analgesia in brachial plexus blocks.

Methods
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted on patients who underwent supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks using an ultrasound. Patients were randomized to receive 19 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine with dexamethasone (4 mg) (study group) and saline (1 mL) (control group). Primary outcome measure was the duration of analgesia. Onset and duration of sensory, motor blocks, postoperative 24-hour morphine requirements were also recorded.

Results
A total of 46 patients were studied with 24 patients in the dexamethasone group and 22 patients in the control group. Demographic data, type and duration of surgery were comparable between the groups. Dexamethasone group patients had significantly longer duration of analgesia [Mean (SD): 19.8 (3.8) hours], compared to control group patients [Mean (SD): 14.5 (4.2); p< 0.001]. Morphine requirements over a 24-hour period were not significantly different between the groups.

Conclusion
Low-dose dexamethasone significantly prolongs the duration of analgesia when used with bupivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks, although it does not significantly decrease the overall opioid requirements for 24 hours postoperatively.

Published: May 2021

Self-efficacy is one’s belief or perception about one’s professional traits. Likewise, a teacher’s efficacy is a  teacher’s belief about his competencies required to develop  desirable change in learner’s behavior. Studies have identified  teacher efficacy as one of the distinct variables that  potentially can differentiate among teachers and  corresponding work behaviors. Teaching children with special  needs demands some exceptional traits and skills on the part  of the teacher when compared to a teacher of regular education system. A special education teacher is a  professional responsible for providing educational support  and intervention for students with exceptional needs. The  study aims to identify the self efficacy of teachers serving in  schools for children with hearing impairment in special  education institutions through a descriptive research i.e. cross  sectional survey. Identified variables of self efficacy were  planning, instruction, class management and evaluation. Other  objectives were to identify relationship of self efficacy with  educational qualification of teachers, gender, age and respective experiences. The population comprised teachers of  Sp. Ed. schools in district Punjab. Purposive, random  convenient sampling technique was used to select 100  teachers as a sample. The tool comprised a questionnaire with  30 items duly validated and piloted before formal data  collection. Findings include a higher level of self efficacy  among teachers in the domains of planning, instruction, class  management and evaluation. A strong relationship has been  identified among self efficacy of teachers, their respective  age, gender, qualification and experience.
