Multi-recipient and threshold encryption based on hidden multipliers
Authors: Roman'kov Vitaly
Published: March 2023

Let $S$ be a pool of $s$ parties and Alice be the dealer. In this paper, we
propose a scheme that allows the dealer to encrypt messages in such a way that
only one authorized coalition of parties (which the dealer chooses depending on
the message) can decrypt. At the setup stage, each of the parties involved in
the process receives an individual key from the dealer. To decrypt information,
an authorized coalition of parties must work together to use their keys. Based
on this scheme, we propose a threshold encryption scheme. For a given message
$f$ the dealer can choose any threshold $m = m(f).$ More precisely, any set of
parties of size at least $m$ can evaluate $f$; any set of size less than $m$
cannot do this. Similarly, the distribution of keys among the included parties
can be done in such a way that authorized coalitions of parties will be given
the opportunity to put a collective digital signature on any documents. This
primitive can be generalized to the dynamic setting, where any user can
dynamically join the pool $S$. In this case the new user receives a key from
the dealer. Also any user can leave the pool $S$. In both cases, already
distributed keys of other users do not change. The main feature of the proposed
schemes is that for a given $s$ the keys are distributed once and can be used
multiple times.
The proposed scheme is based on the idea of hidden multipliers in encryption.
As a platform, one can use both multiplicative groups of finite fields and
groups of invertible elements of commutative rings, in particular,
multiplicative groups of residue rings. We propose two versions of this scheme.

Authors: Freeda Maria Swarna M  , Shaheed Khan  , Rajesh Nambiar  , S. Praveen Kumar
Published: March 2023

With an intent to raise awareness about the contribution of Sustainable Tourism to Development among the Tourism, Travel and Hospitality stakeholders, the general public, the Governments across levels, the 70 General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. The year received another boost in the context of the 2030, Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), wherein the tourism system would usher in a change in business practices, public policies and even consumer behaviour which would make the Tourism sector Sustainable. The following objectives were framed to conduct the study i) to assess the pulse of the Indian Tourism Travel and Hospitality (TTH) with regard to Sustainability certifications, ii) to collate and assess inputs and data available in the public domain with regard to Sustainability certification, and iii) to find out the opinion of experts who work in the domain of sustainability and certifications. To make the traveller more conscious and make tourism regenerative; the facet of ‘eco-label’ is one of the indicators that helps to quantify sustainable production, sustainable consumption and therefore, sustainable development. Herein, we can say that, “Eco-labelling,” “Eco-Certification” in the Tourism Business would lead to Sustainable Practices which ultimately would become a follow up for good practices, that not only will solve the Environmental issues, but will address the socio-economic and cultural facets. This is true for the simple reason, one in ten jobs globally is in the tourism sector and tourism accounts for ten percent of Global GDP; clearly bringing in concerns for social, economic and environmental sustainability, which will ensure a demand for products and services in the tourism sector which focus on Sustainability. The Indian Tourism Scenario with its multiple players, the large hotel sector with multiple chains, the resorts spread across the country, the Airlines, the Travel Agents, the Tour Operators, the Communities involved in Tourism directly and indirectly at the operational level and the Government at the Federal Level and the State Governments who actually implement the Tourism programs. The Study is part of an ongoing research, which invokes the readiness, or the acceptance, the doubts the Tourism Stakeholders have in India, which would lead to International and National Level Organizations to play a dynamic role to ensure, Sustainability Certifications leading to Sustainable Practices which in turn will ensure the achievement of SDGs, leading to the promise the Nation makes towards Global well-being.

Role of Government and Non-Government Organisations in training the Women Entrepreneurs
Authors: Lakshmi S
Published: March 2023

Entrepreneurship has been acknowledged to be one of the essential factors which contributes for rapid economic growth in any country. It increases and harnesses the utilisation of natural and human resources for all-round growth of economy. Entrepreneurship development has played a critical role in the economic development of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. On the other hand, inspite of abundant natural and human resources, India still is a poor country facing problems like unemployment, surplus labour, inequality and poverty. Therefore, the key solution to the socio-economic problems in India lies in Gandhiji’s ides of “production by masses instead of mass production.” All women irrespective of their background are potential, the only point is to sharpen their skills and tailor them according to the needs. Based on the entrepreneurship development especially in case of women who have large potential for hard and dedicated work. In the socio- economic background of India empowerment of women is the need of the hour and empowerment without increase in economic power is meaningless. This necessitates highest encouragement need to be given in the society for entrepreneurship development among women, so that they can not only stand economically strong and contribute for family but entire country. The type of training needed to sharpen the skills if offered will make them to be successful entrepreneurs. Keeping the above facts, it was felt necessary to make an empirical study to assess the types of training offered and other related issues.

Authors: Roy Sudipta Saha
Published: March 2023

The meaning of intelligence is the capacity to absorb and learn from experience which can be used as a tool to handle problems and fit into a new situation (Jhangiani et al., 2014). Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the technology that tries to copy logical functions which are prepared by human beings (D’Monte, 2018). In the past two decades, India’s digital banking sector has grown rapidly. The growing number of internet banking, mobile banking and payment app users, are the main catalysts behind the growth of digital banking. The rising demand for online banking has created opportunities for the implementation of AI in the Indian banking sector (Vijai, 2018). The main objectives of the present study are: (i) to discuss the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI), (ii) to study the implication of AI in the Banking sector and (iii) to state the different aspects of AI in Indian Banking sector with special reference to Punjab National Bank (PNB). AI has played an important role in determining fraudulent accounts and reducing the gross NPA of Banks. The banking operations of PNB had been paralyzed in February 2018 due to fraud carried out by Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi. After this incident, PNB introduced an AI-enabled audit system to eliminate the loopholes in their banking operations. The Gross NPA of PNB and the total number of frauds reported have decreased by 11.47% and 39% respectively, in the financial year 2021-2022 in comparison to the last year. The present study reveals that day by day, banks are adopting AI for personalized customer services and reducing errors in banking operations. Furthermore, AI can handle NPA Management through Big Data Analytics, which will help in strengthening the balance sheets of banks.

Published: March 2023

Among the methods for angular coordinates determination of the astronomical objects, particularly a topic of the present day is the Turner method based on static processing of data information for three and more stars number. With regard to used in astronomical practice optical electronic apparatuses which have high resolution and comparatively closely a field of vision lower than one degree of Celsius, it grows up the actuality of the methods for angular coordinates determination at minimum number of supporting (catalogue) stars. In this conditions it's necessary to be re-examine the respect to orthogonality methods, the accuracy of which can be increase through statistical analyze. Calculation for ideal coordinates and the equatorial coordinates of an astronomical object are shown as well as the possible errors for their determination. A priori it is supposed the orthogonality method is more effective because of the fact that the possibility for appearance in the two stars field of vision is bigger than of the three ones.

Aging is considered in the context of various abiotic stresses, such as water deficit, high temperature, salinity, cold, heavy metals, mechanical wounding, UV radiation, etc. It is well known that the extreme level of these factors can be reflected in sharply increased production of reactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species interact with cellular biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins and DNA and can play an important role in cell injury. At the same time, fungi are an appropriate model system in different research areas, including aging. Testing of ligninolytic fungi in space conditions is forthcoming. However, it is unknown how the conditions of microgravity would affect fungal cell aging and enzyme production. Determination of the long-term physiological responses and adaptation to the space environment is of great importance for fungal enzyme production as well.

Authors: Zahid Muhammad , Sharif Muhammad Suhail , Ahmed Riaz , Abbas Tanveer
Published: March 2023

The retention and switching patterns of the importing countries are seen as crucial for the exporting countries to maintain their consistency and growth, where random variables, such as the export of mango from Pakistan, have a significant effect. These actions have a significant role in export of horticulture products like fresh fruits and vegetables. Therefore this study investigates the importing pattern of the top five importers, (i.e., United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Saudi Arabia, United kingdom (UK), and Qatar), where Pakistani exports constitute about 70 percent of mango exports. For measuring the occurrence probability of a random variable, the Markov chain analysis is applied to the time series data from FY 2016-17 to FY 2021-22 collected from secondary sources. Based on the TPM, the study concludes that, in terms of quantity, Pakistan can rely on UAE and other category of importing countries for mango exports. In value terms Pakistan can rely on other category of importing nations for mango exports. The Markov chain result showed that the direction of Pakistani mango exports is shifting from a small group of importing countries to other nations in the world. Regulations and direction by the policy makers can improve the production and export of the mango from Pakistan.

The study examined the effective communication practices and challenges among nurses as perceived by student nurses in Anambra state. The population was 425 students from two randomly selected schools of nursing and one Department of nursing science in Anambra State. Yaro Yamane’s formula was applied to draw a sample size of 206 respondents. Using validated structured questionnaire data were collectedand presented in charts and tables with frequency and simple percentages. The descriptive statistics was employed in the data analysis while Chi square was applied in testing the two null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significant. Findings from the study revealed that the student nurses in Anambra state have positive perception towards effective communication practices in nursing with an average mean score of 3.3. The Majority of the students 99.5% saw effective communication to mean a two-way process through which the sender conveys a message that the receiver readily receives and understands. 96.1% saw it as feedback, documentation, report writing and handover. 97.5% were of the opinion that manner of approach to client is an aspect of effective communication. 97.1% saw it to embraces patient education, informed consent and involving client in his care. (94.6%) believed that asking open ended questions (95.2%), and attention to non-verbal communication (99%); were the best approaches to effective communication in nursing practice. 80.6% were of the opinion that time, conflict among health workers (91.2%), language barrier (90.8%), heavy workload (69.9%) constitutes the cogs in the wheel of effective communication in nursing practice. Gender (p > 0.692) and training institution (p cal = 0.106) had no significant influence on their perception. The study recommends that lectures on communication skills be given to the students in both native and English languages.

The problem of corruption in the management of sports organizations has long since ceased to have an exclusively national character, becoming a global problem, particularly at the level of federal and international sports organizations. It is possible to state a specific limitation in studying problematic issues of criminal responsibility for corruption crimes in sports and the insufficiency of the development of certain aspects of establishing accountability for the specified offenses.This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of criminal legal measures in the form of criminal liability in the fight against corruption crimes in the management of sports organizations. The following methods were used in this study: information-analytical method; system approach method; method of comparison and comparison; method of descriptive analysis; method of pragmatic approach; forecasting method. According to the research results, the author's concept of corruption in the management of sports organizations was proposed. It has been established that criminal liability for corruption crimes in the field of management of sports organizations is an effective but insufficient measure to combat this phenomenon. This is evidenced by scientific studies of the last 5 years regarding the fight against match-fixing in certain types of sports in certain countries, which indicates the insufficient effectiveness of establishing criminal liability for corruption crimes in the management of sports organizations. There was a need to develop new, more effective measures to prevent and combat corruption crimes in the field of sports management. At the international level, it is necessary to create the Instruction on tackling corruption in the management of sports organizations, which will include measures and directions for combating and preventing corruption in sports, including improving criminal liability for these crimes. This study opens up the prospects for further research in the fight against corruption in the field of sports, in particular, ensuring control over the activities of national and international sports organizations by improving both the legislative framework and the practical implementation of its provisions in the field of regulation and management in the sports field.

Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) señalan que la inactividad física es un problema que afecta a todos los países del mundo y que el lugar estratégico para resolver este problema son las escuelas. Este estudio busca comprender cómo se construye el patio y el recreo en la escuela como un espacio para la realización de prácticas corporales que puedan reducir la inactividad física. Para conseguir esto, se realizó un estudio cualitativo de tipo cuasi-etnográfico en un establecimiento público, otro subvencionado y uno privado de Chile. Los resultados señalan que el recreo escolar, la clase de Educación Física y los talleres extracurriculares son momentos relevantes para pensar los patios escolares, asimismo se evidencian similitudes y diferencias en función de los recursos económicos que cada establecimiento gestiona. Las discusiones proponen que existen barreras y oportunidades para habitar el patio escolar. Por su parte, se concluye expresando que el patio escolar se habita culturalmente y que tantos equipos directivos, profesionales y quienes construyen política pública tienen un rol importante para colaborar en la reducción de la inactividad física en la escuela.
