Structural Analysis of Women’s Labor Force and Unemployment in Turkey
Authors: zen Aysun , Baysan lgi
Published: June 2022

Increasing the share of women, who make up half of the total population in Turkey, in total employment will positively affect economic growth and development. Although female employment in Turkey is generally low, policy recommendations and action plans are prepared by the relevant ministries to increase women's employment. Throughout the world, women face some difficulties in business life and the importance of policies to be developed in order to increase women's employment as well as to ensure its continuity is among the issues on the agenda. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of gender equality and the regulations to be made for women's participation in business life is underlined once again. The main purpose of this study is to analyze structurally the female workforce and female unemployment in Turkey. For this purpose, women's employment, the effects of women's employment on the economy and the problems women experience in participating in business life are explained. The structure of the female workforce and unemployment in Turkey has been examined throughout the country and regionally. In the study, the labor force participation rate of women, the distribution of women's employment according to economic activities and the female unemployment rate are based on. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's employment were explained and a policy proposal framework was tried to be determined. Accordingly, regulations to be made on issues such as wages, leave arrangements, prevention of dismissals and policies to be implemented in this context come to the fore as important factors for increasing women's participation in the workforce. When the labor force participation rate and unemployment rate of women are evaluated regionally, it is seen that there are differences between regions. This situation makes it necessary to consider the labor market dynamics of the regions in the policies to be developed.
Machine-Coded News-Based Sentiment Index for Turkey and its Impact on Exchange Rates
Authors: ne G
Published: June 2022

This paper, initially, develops an automated system that conducts a content analysis using newspaper coverage to generate a high frequency news-driven sentiment index. The system classifies the news as good, bad, or neutral depending on word frequencies. Then, the study investigates the relationship between the news-based sentiment index and exchange rates in Turkey after controlling for both domestic and foreign macroeconomic fundamentals. The results reveal that US economic announcements drive the value of Turkish Lira whereas the Turkish economic announcements and sentiment index are ineffective. When other financial variables are considered, there is strong evidence that the sentiment index affects the stock market returns. Turkish macroeconomic announcements are insignificant in the stock and bond market specifications. The US announcements affect medium to long-term bond yields.
The Effect of Fiscal Policy and Selected Macroeconomic Indicators on Human Development Index: The Case for OECD Countries
Authors: VICIL ERHAN , KONUKMAN AZ
Published: June 2022

The discrepancies in the development levels among countries stem from plentiful factors such as unfair distribution of income, inqualities in the access of education, health and technology as well as exposure to violence and gender inequalities. All of these factors distrupt social cohesion and interdependence and raise concerns over the efficiency of institutions and their policies which have a key role in achieving sustainable development. In conjuction with this aim, in this study it is endeavored to analyse the effect of fiscal policy tools and selected macroeconomic indicators like inflation, fixed capital investment ratio and economic growth on human development index encompassing health, education and standart of living dimensions in 34 OECD countries for the period 2000-2018. The analyses are realized with respect to development level of countires in OECD. Since cross sectional dependence, autocorrelation ad hetereskodacity problem are encountered during the analysis, Driscoll-Kraay panel data analysis is realized which is recommended in the literature. According to the outputs of the analyses, government expenditure as a proxy for expansionary fiscal policy affects the human development index positively for all groups of countries. On the other hand, public dept and budget balance have a posive effect, consumer price index has a negative effect on indices for solely developed countries and developed countires-G7. It is also deducted that economic growth deemed as a backbone for sustainable development has no statisticaly significant impact on human development index for all three group of countries.

Authors: Bhave Kiran , Patel Tejal , Siraj Sumayya
Published: June 2022

Background: Amebiasis is a common recurring infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by Entamoeba histolytica, affecting 15% of Indian population, related to poor sanitation and socioeconomic condition. No studies have been performed yet on cost analysis of antiamoebic drugs.

Aim and Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze cost variations of different brands of antiamoebic drugs marketed in India.

Materials and Methods: It was an observational and analytical study in which maximum and minimum costs in rupees per 10 tablets/capsules of each antiamoebic drug in same strength, manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies in India, were obtained from the Current Index of Medical Specialties (October 2021–January 2022), Drug Today (October 2021–January 2022), and Indian Drug Review (Issue 5, 2021). Cost ratio and % cost variation were calculated for each antiamoebic drug.

Results: Metronidazole 200mg had highest cost ratio of 12.1 and 1110.73% cost variation, while Diloxanide furoate 500 mg had lowest cost ratio of 1.69 and 69% cost variation. Among fixed dose combinations, Tinidazole + Norfloxaxin (600 + 400) mg had highest cost ratio of 17.89 and 1689% cost variation, while Metronidazole + Norfloxacin (600 + 400) mg had lowest cost ratio of 1.21 and 21.22% cost variation.

Conclusion: Our study showed significant cost variation in different brands of the same antiamoebic drugs. To lessen economic burden and to improve adherence to treatment, it is desirable for physicians to prescribe cheaper brands/generic drugs, to meet the health-care needs of patients. Furthermore, the government should make regulations to decrease cost variation of different brands of same antiamoebic drugs.

Authors: Tovar Cortés Luisa Fernanda
Published: June 2022

A partir de los aportes de la economía feminista que visibilizan el trabajo del cuidado y la reproducción social, este ensayo explora cómo, en medio de la pandemia, la labor de los recicladores de oficio en Bogotá se ratificó como una actividad esencial para la sostenibilidad de la vida. La crisis promovió experiencias de articulación y alianzas de los recicladores con otros actores, lo que denominamos entramados comunitarios de los residuos. La emergencia sanitaria y económica provocó un sentimiento compartido de vulneración, pero también de interdependencia que recupera la capacidad humana de generación de vínculos sociales más allá de las relaciones mercantiles. Tejer redes de apoyo para sostener la vida colectivamente es uno de los principales caminos para enfrentar la crisis.
On the Role of Risk Aversion and Market Design in Capacity Expansion Planning
Authors: Fraunholz Christoph , Miskiw Kim K. , Kraft Emil , Fichtner Wolf , Weber Christoph
Published: June 2022

Investment decisions in competitive power markets are based upon thorough profitability assessments. Thereby, investors typically show a high degree of risk aversion, which is the main argument for capacity mechanisms being implemented around the world. In order to investigate the interdependencies between investors’ risk aversion and market design, we extend the agent-based electricity market model PowerACE to account for long-term uncertainties. This allows us to model capacity expansion planning from an agent perspective and with different risk preferences. The enhanced model is then applied in a multi-country case study of the European electricity market. Our results show that assuming risk-averse rather than risk-neutral investors leads to slightly reduced investments in dispatchable capacity, higher wholesale electricity prices, and reduced levels of resource adequacy. These effects are more pronounced in an energy-only market than under a capacity mechanism. Moreover, uncoordinated changes in market design may also lead to negative cross-border effects.
Residential and Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvements: A Dynamic General Equilibrium Analysis of the Rebound Effect
Authors: Kahouli Sonds , Pautrel Xavier
Published: June 2022

The aim of this paper is to investigate bi-directional spillovers into residential and industrial sectors induced by energy efficiency improvement (EEI) in both the short- and long-term, and the impact of nesting structure as well as the size of elasticities of substitution of production and utility functions on the magnitude and the transitional dynamic of rebound effect.

Developing a dynamic general equilibrium model, we demonstrate that residential EEIs spillover into the industrial sector through the labor supply channel and industrial EEIs spillover into the residential sector through the conventional income channel. Numerical simulations calibrated on the U.S. suggest that not taking into account these spillover effects could lead to misestimating the rebound effect notably of residential sector EEIs. We also demonstrate how the size and the duration of the rebound effect depend on the elasticities of substitution’s values. Numerical simulations suggest that alternative sets of value for the elasticities of substitution may give different sizable patterns of rebound effects in both the short- and long-term.

In policy terms, our results support the idea that energy efficiency policies should be implemented simultaneously with rebound effect offsetting policies by considering short- and long-term economy feedbacks. As a consequence, they require considering debates about what type of policy pathways are more effective in mitigating the rebound effect.

FIBRILAÇÃO ATRIAL E DEMÊNCIA VASCULAR: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DA LITERATURA
Authors: Sousa Caroline Melo de , Sousa Milena Nunes Alves , Carvalho Fabrício Kleber de Lucena
Published: June 2022

A fibrilação atrial consiste em um subtipo de arritmia cardíaca, sendo a mais comum. Corresponde a uma desorganização da atividade elétrica dos átrios do coração que perdem sua capacidade de contração, gerando como consequência uma taquicardia. Já a demência vascular corresponde à diminuição da capacidade da realização das funções cognitivas devido à ocorrência de microinfartos cerebrais. O objetivo desse estudo consistiu em analisar a correlação entre a fibrilação atrial e demência vascular, na presença ou ausência do Acidente Vascular Cerebral. Nesta revisão integrativa, realizou-se uma busca bibliográfica na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, National Library of Medicine e Scientific Eletronic Library Online. Foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde Fibrilação Atrial, Demência Vascular, Acidente Vascular Cerebral, Prognóstico e Qualidade de Vida. Assim, constatou-se que a fibrilação atrial predispõe ao desenvolvimento do Acidente Vascular Cerebral, visto que o sangue aprisionado nos átrios devido à perda de sua capacidade de contração pode levar a formação de pequenos coágulos, os quais ao serem transportados pela corrente sanguínea para o cérebro pode vir a ocasionar os citados microinfartos. Logo, pode vir a ocorrer uma perda progressiva da cognição compatível com a própria demência vascular, piora de prognóstico e a redução da qualidade de vida.

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of children and their families across the world. Global analysis of herd immunity in COVID-19 has shown the urgent need for efficacious COVID-19 vaccines. Currently, the vaccine development efforts have started to come to fruition as some of the leading vaccine candidates have shown positive results in preventing clinical disease. India, which has a robust vaccine development programme, plans for domestic manufacture of COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution in countries that cannot afford to buy expensive vaccines from the western world. A predesigned and pre-tested questionnaire prepared using Google forms was used to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice about COVID vaccination. A total of 417 out of 603 beneficiaries were selected via convenience sampling technique at selected OPD's of Pune city. The results of the study showed that participants have a fair knowledge about the vaccine. About 81% (337) of the participants were aware of the COVID 19 vaccines given in India, whereas 79 (18.9%) were not aware of that 153 (36%) were not clear about the two doses of the vaccination. More than 97% (408) believed that practicing hand hygiene, mask use, and social distance reduces the risk of COVID 19 transmission. Maximum participants 414 (99.2%) practice hand hygiene, use of mask, and social distance post COVID 19 vaccination. The majority of the 408 (97.8%) booked an appointment online. Maximum participants 240 (57.55%) didn't experience difficulty getting online appointments, whereas 177 (42%) faced the challenge. This study provides early insight into the Indian population's knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding COVID-19 vaccines. This finding can help the Government to plan for future efforts to increase vaccine uptake.

It is important to study bacterial and fungal flora from the middle meatus of a healthy population. It will determine micro-organisms colonizing the paranasal sinuses and check their antibiotic resistance. This study aims at identifying and comparing the microbial and fungal flora present in the middle meatus of patients of the nasal surgery group (NSG) and non-nasal surgery group (NNSG). Material and Methods: This is a crosssectional observational study. The endoscopic middle meatal swab was taken from NSG and NNSG (Control) groups for aerobic and fungal cultures. Results: Aerobic growths were seen in 43.28% of NSG and 50% of NNSG. The difference was statistically insignificant (p< 0.44). In the majority of patients in both groups, Staphylococcus Epidermidis were isolated, 34.49% in NSG and 34.37% in NNSG. In both groups, the majority of organisms show 100% sensitivity to linezolid, daptomycin, teicoplanin, and vancomycin. Good sensitivity was also shown to tetracycline, trimethoprim, and sulfamethaxaoxazole. There was complete resistance to Benzylpenicillin (100%). Comparison of sensitivity showed data was statistically insignificant. No fungal growth was detected in both groups. Conclusion:The present study concludes that there is no difference in the aerobic growths and sensitivity of both groups. No fungal growth was detected in both groups. The culture sensitivity pattern is an indicator of antibiotic selection in this era of antibiotic resistance. Also, the study concludes, oral drugs like Erythromycin, Tetracyclines, and Trimethomprim-Sulfamethaxazole can be considered for medical management.

Published: June 2022

Terrorism is one of the most serious, damaging, and disturbing problems nowadays. Terrorism attacks are intended to apply sufficient pressure on a government so that it grants political and economic concessions. This study aims to investigate the impacts of terrorism on economic growth (GDP) and foreign direct investment (FDI) in Developing Asian Countries: Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines. The panel data was collected from World Bank Data Malaysia and the Department of Statistics Malaysia from 1999 to 2016 for each selected country. This study uses the panel data regressions to analyze the data by using the Pooled Ordinary Least Square (POLS), Fixed Effect (FE), and Random Effect (RE). This study showed that gross domestic product and foreign direct investment have a negative relationship with terrorism in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines. The overall research or findings of this study can guide the government to identify the ways to prevent or manage to sustain terrorist attacks without displaying economic growth and foreign direct investment consequences.

Published: June 2022

When teaching software testing, it is essential that the students have access to the practical application of the theoretical concepts regarding software testing techniques. Thus, it is important that support materials and real artifacts are available for the practical application of the testing approaches. Despite this importance, undergraduate students from computer science courses still face difficulties in the practical application of the contents covered in the classroom. In this work in progress, our goal is to support the learning process by offering artifacts that allows students to improve their practical skills in software testing. For this, an analysis of the set of test techniques taught in classes and required by the job market was carried out. We also performed an analysis of the features of the repositories that provide support artifacts for teaching these techniques. Considering that the identified repositories are not in Portuguese, we present a high-fidelity prototype of a new Brazilian repository, aggregating the identified artifacts and proposing new ones for supporting testing teaching.

The protocol relies basically on commitment protocols built using hash functions, thus displaying a reduced computational cost. In addition, it displays many appealing characteristics, such as: support to multiple players; tolerance to players' dropouts during a match; resistance to collusion among any number of players. As such, FairShuffle is well-adapted for securing TCG games played in a peer-to-peer (P2P) environment.

Os ataques distribuídos de negação de serviço permanecem um problema constante na Internet atual. As Redes Centradas em Conteúdo RCC foram propostas como uma nova arquitetura para a Internet do Futuro que possui propriedades que minimizam tais ataques. No entanto, um novo tipo de ataque de inundação de pacotes pode explorar os protocolo de solicitação e envio de conteúdos na rede. Este artigo propõe uma modelagem analítica dos ataques de inundação nas redes centradas em conteúdo, abordando as condições para ocorrência de tais ataques. Propõe-se também um modelo de otimização que permita maximizar o throughput do sistema.

Nesse artigo, apresentamos Autenticação das Coisas (AdC), um conjunto de protocolos para incorporar autenticação e controle de acesso para dispositivos na Internet das Coisas (IdC). O AdC emprega primitivas criptográficas do estado da arte para implementar um esquema de controle de acesso adequado à IdC. O AdC possibilita que novos dispositivos sejam adicionados à domínios Domésticos de maneira sem fio e autenticada e, além disso, permite que dispositivos de diferentes domínios estabeleçam uma relação de confiança, possibilitando a interoperação deles. Para validar nossa solução, nós desenvolvemos um protótipo do AdC para smartphones Android e avaliamos a execução dos esquemas criptográficos computacionalmente mais caros em dispositivos mais restritos.

Published: June 2022

Este artigo apresenta um novo mecanismo de browser fingerprinting baseado em HTML5 que é resistente a contramedidas. Mais especificamente, apresentamos o mecanismo TARP Fingerprinting, que permite a geração de uma assinatura identificadora de um navegador de internet (browser) através do uso do elemento  presente na API HTML5. Diferentemente do modelo tradicional de Canvas Fingerprinting, o mecanismo apresentado é resistente às técnicas usadas como contramedidas ao Canvas Fingerprinting, especialmente àquelas que bloqueiam a técnica adulterando o comportamento normal do elemento . O mecanismo proposto atinge esse objetivo através da modulação da entropia das assinaturas geradas pelo elemento , que passam a funcionar também como uma espécie de "marca d'água" ou "lacre de garantia". Ademais, apresentamos um dos dois únicos estudos existentes atualmente que medem a entropia da técnica de Canvas Fingerprinting em larga escala (>64.000 amostras) com resultados de entropia de Shannon expressivos.
A Non-Probabilistic Time-Storage Trade-off for Unsalted Hashes
Authors: Schardong Frederico , Formolo Daniel
Published: June 2022

This work proposes a new cryptanalytic non-probabilistic trade-off for unsalted hashes. It presents the main cryptanalytic trade-offs, making a comparison with the proposed method. Although the number of hash operations to recover an element is high compared with the traditional methods, the new method has the advantage of guaranteed success on the recovery of hashes, minimal and sequential disk read operations, unlike the existing probabilistic trade-offs.

Published: June 2022

O uso da computação na nuvem tem se tornado comum por vantagens como baixo custo e contratação de recursos de acordo com a demanda. Todavia, surgem preocupações com segurança e privacidade, pois dados críticos – especialmente em aplicações de IoT – são armazenados e processados na nuvem. Este artigo propõe uma arquitetura de software com suporte a múltiplas abordagens para a agregação segura de dados. O uso dessa arquitetura se mostrou viável em experimentos realizados com a utilização de técnicas de criptografia homomórfica e de extensões de segurança em hardware (Intel SGX), que, segundo nossas pesquisas, ainda não havia sido aplicado em um ambiente de nuvem.
Detecção de DDoS Através da Análise da Quantificação da Recorrência Baseada na Extração de Características Dinâmicas e Clusterização Adaptativa
Authors: Righi Marcelo Antonio , Nunes Raul Ceretta
Published: June 2022

The high number of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have demanded innovative solutions to guarantee reliability and availability of internet services. In this sense, different methods have been used to analyze network traffic for denial of service attacks, such as neural networks, decision trees, principal component analysis and others. However, few of them explore dynamic features to classify network traffic. This article proposes a new method, called DDoSbyAQR,that uses the recurrence quantification analysis based on the extraction of dynamic characteristics and an adaptive clustering algorithm (A-kmeans) to perform better classification of the attack network traffic. The experiments were done using the CAIDA and UCLA databases and have demonstrated ability to increase the accuracy (98.41%) of DDoS detection.
Go With the FLOW: Fine-Grained Control-Flow Integrity for the Kernel
Authors: Moreira João , Rigo Sandro
Published: June 2022

This paper describes FLOW: a fine-grained control-flow integrity (CFI) implementation that focuses on protecting the Linux kernel. By combining source-code and binary analysis, FLOW maps valid execution paths into a fine-grained control-flow graph, which is later used to instrument the kernel with label-based CFI checks that prevent control-flow hijacking attacks. FLOW induces an average overhead of 17% on system call latency and 5% on I/O throughput, while its impact on real-world applications is ≈ 1%.
Analysis, Anti-Analysis, Anti-Anti-Analysis: An Overview of the Evasive Malware Scenario
Authors: Botacin Marcus , Rocha Vitor Falcão da , Geus Paulo Lício de , Grégio André
Published: June 2022

Malicious programs are persistent threats to computer systems, and their damages extend from financial losses to critical infrastructure attacks. Malware analysis aims to provide useful information to be used for forensic procedures and countermeasures development. To thwart that, attackers make use of anti-analysis techniques that prevent or difficult their malware from being analyzed. These techniques rely on instruction side-effects and that system's structure checks are inspection-aware. Thus, detecting evasion attempts is an important step of any successful investigative procedure. In this paper, we present a broad overview of what anti-analysis techniques are being used in malware and how they work, as well as their detection counterparts, i.e., the anti-anti-analysis techniques that may be used by forensic investigators to defeat evasive malware. We also evaluated over one hundred thousand samples in the search of the presence of anti-analysis technique and summarized the obtained information to present an evasion-aware malware threat scenario.
Using Huffman Trees in Features Selection to Enhance Performance in Spam Detection
Authors: Olivo Cleber K. , Santin Altair O. , Oliveira Luiz E. S.
Published: June 2022

Spam detection is very costly when compared to the simple task of spreading spam. Most approaches aim to reach higher accuracy percentages, leaving the classification performance in background, what may cause many problems, such as bottlenecks in the e-mail system, huge infrastructure investments and waste of resources pooling. To avoid these problems, this paper proposes a hierarchical spam features organization using Huffman Trees, where the most important features stay closer to the root. With the reduction of these trees (leaves pruning) the feature space is significantly reduced, speeding up the e-mail classification process. The experiments showed a performance 60 times faster when compared to Spam Assassin.
Análise de Vulnerabilidade de Esquemas de Segredo Compartilhado Considerando um novo Modelo de Ameaça
Authors: Souza Rick Lopes de , Vigil Martin , Custódio Ricardo Felipe
Published: June 2022

Esquemas de segredo compartilhado são primitivas criptográficas utilizadas para distribuir partes de um segredo entre um conjunto de participantes de tal forma que apenas um subconjunto autorizado consiga reconstruir o segredo. Tradicionalmente, grande parte dos esquemas de segredo compartilhado trabalham com apenas duas definições de entidades: Distribuidor e Participante. Para esses esquemas, diversos modelos de ameaça foram propostos considerando apenas essas duas entidades. Todavia, na literatura não está claro quem deveria exercer o papel de reconstruir o segredo e quem seria o detentor do segredo. Essas duas novas entidades modificam os modelos de ameaça existentes que consideram o Distribuidor a entidade responsável por inicializar o esquema, gerar parâmetros do sistema, gerar o segredo, criar as partes e distribuir, e Participantes que cooperam ou não com a reconstrução do segredo. Neste trabalho propomos um novo modelo de ameaça considerando as novas entidades que representam todos os papéis envolvidos em esquemas de segredo compartilhado. À luz desse novo modelo, alguns dos esquemas mais conhecidos mostram-se vulneráveis. Também são feitas avaliações verificando quais pontos consegue-se manter segurança e em quais pontos surgirão vulnerabilidades de acordo com as novas entidades e modelos de ameaça definidos.
