Analysis of Cryptography in Information Technology
Authors: Yadav Ruma
Published: March 2023

Cryptography is the practice of securing information through the use of codes, ciphers, and other methods of encryption. It is an essential aspect of modern communication, enabling the secure transmission of data over networks and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access. Cryptography has been used throughout history to protect messages from interception and decipherment. In ancient times, cryptography was used by military leaders and diplomats to communicate confidential information. Over time, cryptographic techniques have become more sophisticated, and modern cryptography now employs complex algorithms and mathematical principles.Today, cryptography is used in various applications, including online banking, e-commerce, secure messaging, and government communication. Cryptography also plays a critical role in securing sensitive information such as medical records, personal data, and intellectual property.As technology continues to evolve, the importance of cryptography will only increase. Cryptography ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data, and it is an essential tool for protecting digital assets and maintaining trust in the online world. Literature Review: Cryptography has been a subject of interest in computer science and mathematics for decades. The literature on cryptography is vast and covers a wide range of topics, including encryption algorithms, key management, and protocols for secure communication. One of the earliest and most well-known encryption algorithms is the Caesar cipher, which was used by Julius Caesar to encode his messages. Since then, numerous encryption techniques have been developed, including symmetric-key cryptography and public-key cryptography.Symmetric-key cryptography involves the use of a single key for both encryption and decryption, while public-key cryptography uses two keys, one for encryption and one for decryption.In recent years, research on post-quantum cryptography has gained significant attention due to the potential threat quantum computers pose to current encryption methods. Post- quantum cryptography aims to develop algorithms that are resistant to quantum attacks.

A Comparison of Information Criterion for Choosing Copula Models
Authors: Muela Sonia Benito , López-Martín Carmen
Published: March 2023

The object of this paper is to analyse the ability of the Information Criterion in selecting the best copula model. For this study, we carry out a simulation exercise considering five one-parameter copula families: Normal, Student-t with ν degree freedom, Clayton, Gumbel and Frank. For each family copulas, three degrees of dependence and three size samples. The Information Criterion included in the comparison are AIC, BIC, HQIC, SIC. The results obtained are as follow; (i) we find that for a high dependence level (0.9) the reliability of the Information Criterion (IC) is quite good, but it reduces with the dependence level; (ii) the performance of the IC not only depends on the dependence degree but the size sample. In the case of considering negative dependence the reliability of the IC does not depend on the dependence degree but the size sample. As the size sample reduce the performed of the IC reduce. To last, in a comparison among the IC considered, we find that the BIC criterion is the most reliable follow by SIC. AIC and HQIC reaps similar results.

Authors: Papanthymou Anastasia , Darra Maria
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore the conceptual content of the term ‘quality’ in primary and secondary education through the content analysis of 32 scientific publications. The analysis of the qualitative data is based on the methodology of grounded theory, revealing 21 major dimensions of quality with a high frequency of occurrence that are divided into five broader categories. The first category, ‘learning environment,’ includes psychosocial elements, physical elements, respect for diversity and collaboration, sharing, and team spirit. The second category, ‘learning content,’ includes student-centred pedagogy, well-structured knowledge base, continuous curriculum improvement, interest in all students, and life skills. The third category, ‘processes,’ includes teaching, learning, assessment, support, and supervision. The fourth category, ‘students,’ includes involvement/participation, feedback, challenging learning activities, and improved learning outcomes. Finally, the fifth category, ‘teachers,’ includes knowledge of educational context, content, curriculum, and pedagogy, pedagogical skills, emotional/management/reflection skills, and teacher professional development. According to the main findings, from the category ‘learning environment,’ the dimension concerning the psychosocial elements prevails in the literature; from the category ‘learning content’, the dimension of student-centred pedagogy prevails; and from the category ‘processes’, three dimensions prevail: the first is related to support and supervision and the other two are related to teaching and assessment. From the wider category ‘students,’ the dimension relating to improved learning outcomes prevails. Finally, in the category ‘teachers,’ two dimensions prevail: the first concerns skills (emotional, management, reflection), and the second dimension concerns knowledge of the educational context, content, curriculum, and pedagogy.

Authors: Alnefaie Mashael
Published: March 2023

This study explored students’ grammatical, mechanical, and lexical errors in EFL writing. Also, it aimed to investigate the effect of instructor feedback throughout the semester on students’ types and frequency of errors in two types of essays, including a process essay and an argumentative essay. This study was conducted on 24 EFL students studying in their first year of college in the applied linguistics department. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative study that dealt with document analysis. The author analyzed ten documents to understand how teacher feedback could develop students’ levels in the target language and increase their abilities to properly use the grammatical, mechanical, and lexical rules in academic writing. Thus, the researcher used five written samples of students’ process essays and five written samples of their argumentative essays to compare and find out about students’ academic writing progress. The findings of this study revealed that the instructor’s feedback positively impacted students’ writing development and gradually helped them overcome the committed errors. There were significant differences in students’ writing samples before and after the instructor’s feedback. Therefore, EFL students’ writing of the argumentative essays showed noticeable progress in students’ language use and a reduction in the number of errors that students committed in their process essays.

Authors: Özçelik Kenan
Published: March 2023

Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluşu ile ilgili ortaya çıkan tartışmalarda çeşitli görüşler ileri sürülmektedir. Bunlardan biri de gazâ tezi olarak bilinmektedir. Bu görüş üzerindeki tartışmalar, başlangıcından günümüze kadar canlılığını korumaktadır. Tartışmanın temelinde Anadolu’da fetihleri gerçekleştirenleri harekete geçiren gücün ne olduğu sorunu vardır. Bu tezi savunanlara göre Allah yolunda savaşmak anlamına gelen gazâya katılmak, başka sebeplerle birlikte o kişileri harekete geçiren en güçlü saiktir. Tezin savunulması ise doğal olarak mümkün mertebe kuruluş devrindeki çağdaş kaynaklar üzerinden yapılmaktadır. Bunlar da sikkeler, kitabeler, vakfiyeler ve kitaplar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kitaplar içinde ise tarih kaynaklar başta olmak üzere edebî ve dinî eserlere de referans için müracaat edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu tartışmalar bağlamında Eski Anadolu Türkçesi döneminde yapılmış olan Kur’an tercümeleri incelenmiştir. Bu tercümelerde gazâ veya gâzî kelimeleri ve bunlarla oluşturulan kelime öbeklerinin konumuz bakımından anlamlı bir yoğunluk sergilediği görülmüştür. Bunun sınaması için de daha önce ve Anadolu sahası dışında yapılmış Kur’an tercümelerine başvurulmuştur. Doğu Türkçesindeki Kur’an tercümeleri olarak belirtilen bu eserlerde bahsedilen kelimeler neredeyse hiç geçmemektedir. Bu tespit Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluş zamanlarını da içine alan Eski Anadolu Türkçesi döneminde yapılan Kur’an tercümelerinin gazâ teziyle ilgili tartışmalarda değerlendirilmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Araştırmada Eski Anadolu Türkçesi döneminde yapıldığı bilinen üç adet ve Doğu Türkçesi ile yapılmış iki adet Kur’an tercümesi incelenmiştir. Burada da konumuzla ilgili kelime veya kelime öbeği bakımından en zengin örnekleri barındıran ve Bursa Nüshası olarak bilinen Kur’an tercümesi esas alınmıştır. Bursa nüshasındaki örnekler diğer tercümeler ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Çok nadir olarak diğer tercümelerde görülüp de Bursa Nüshasında olmayan örnekler de bulunmuş olup bunlar da verilmiştir. Tercüme örnekleri verilirken de önce âyetin tamamı veya ilgili kısmı orijinal hâliyle verilmiş, sonra günümüz Türkiye Türkçesi ile meali aktarılmış, ardından incelen tercümelerdeki karşılıklar sıralanmış; her bir örnek sonrasında kısaca değerlendirmede bulunulmuştur. Örnekler sınıflandırma imkânı verdiği için de birkaç başlık altında ele alınmıştır.

Argania spinosa L. Skeels is an endemic species of west-central Morocco, which is characterized by a high diversity of morphological and genetic traits. It constitutes a natural resource for oleo-agro-sylvo-pastoral uses. All conservation and genetic breeding strategies aimed to domesticate argan require a good knowledge of the plant material. However, several studies focused on agronomical, morphological, phytochemical, and molecular characterization, while the cytogenetic aspects were less investigated. The objective of this work is to identify the chromosome number and ploidy level on the national argan collection at the Agadir Regional Agronomic Research Center, Morocco. The determination of the chromosome number was carried out on root tips of germinated seeds collected from five trees genotypes selected on various morphological aspects. As a result, chromosome count on active root tip cells showed variation in the number (2n = 20; 2n = 22; 2n = 24) with a stable ploidy level (2n = 2x) that is confirmed by flow cytometry. These results combine two previous findings (2n=20, 2n=24) and reveal a third existence of twenty-two chromosome. As a conclusion, A. spinosa has three chromosomal numbers which represent the genetic diversity of the chromosomal number that this species exhibits. More studies are required to explain this variation on chromosome numbers for future breeding programs and to avoid incompatibilities.

Corn farming is of great importance for the continuity of our society. Because corn is a cheap and efficient food, especially for animal feeding. However, with the Doubled-haploid technique, the selection of the haploid seeds necessary for this job to be done efficiently creates a problem. Today, the selection of haploid seeds is usually done by trained technicians. With the development of machine learning methods, the parts expected from technicians can be made by machines. In this study, a new model architecture based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) was produced to perform the selection of haploid seeds and the hyperparameters of this model were optimized with the use of tree-structured parzen estimator algorithm. The newly produced model achieved a 94.66% validation score, higher than the VGG-19 model, which proved to be relatively efficient.

Authors: Kuru Zehra , Kaya Mehmet Arif
Published: March 2023

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a promising polymer with its value and potential due to its sustainability, low carbon footprint, and being a superior bio-based polymer compared to other bioplastics. Since it is also a compostable aliphatic polyester, has been frequently subjected to research.

Researchers have conducted studies on the compatibility of PLA, which is a bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable, renewable polymer, with traditional petrochemical-based polymers, especially polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is highly important that applications of PLA/polyester blends will ensure that the materials developed are not only economically and sustainable but also can meet current and future appropriate needs. PLA-based materials have some disadvantages such as slow biodegradation rate, high cost, and low toughness, and to eliminate mentioned drawbacks generally blends are prepared with petroleum-based polymers.

In this review, information about the perspectives with studies for PLA/polyester blends; approaches to the subject, potential application areas, and contributions for the future were given.

Earthquakes are among the most influential force of nature that affect human life. Reconnaissance after the severe earthquakes pointed out that seismic performance of non-structural members and elements could be as significant as the structural members in lateral force-resisting systems. As such, it is important for design engineers to recognize the seismic demand on the mechanical systems that support the critical non-structural components (e.g., sprinklers, electrical and mechanical equipment, etc.) in terms of the safety during and after an earthquake as well as functionality and retrofitting cost after an earthquake. The primary goal of this study is to systematically investigate the seismic demands on the mechanical support systems of a typical mid-rise steel structure. For this purpose, non-linear time history analyses are carried out using a suite of ground motion acceleration records to evaluate the seismic demands on both seismic force-resisting system and the support system by means of inter-story drift angle and horizontal accelerations, respectively. Results obtained from the analyses are discussed considering the requirements stipulated in the current national and international buildings and recommendations are made.

Authors: Paiva Daniele Socorro de Brito Souza , Barmpas Danielle Bittencourt Sodré
Published: March 2023

Objetivo: Descrever os achados ultrassonográficos das gestações gemelares e os seus desfechos. Métodos: Estudo transversal, retrospectivo e descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, por meio de análise de prontuários de pacientes com gestação gemelar que evoluíram para parto no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2019 em uma maternidade de referência em gestações de alto risco e que realizaram ultrassonografia obstétrica previamente. Resultados: A frequência de gestações gemelares foi de 2,7%, sendo a corionicidade mais encontrada do tipo dicoriônica-diamniótica (49,1%) e as complicações mais encontradas foram pré-eclâmpsia (42,2%) e restrição de crescimento fetal (37,9%). A maioria das gestações apresentou volume de líquido amniótico e índices Dopplerfluxométricos normais. A cesárea foi a principal via de parto e a maioria dos recém-nascidos foram prematuros (72,4%) e de baixo peso (80,2% dos fetos 1 e 75,0% dos fetos 2). Observamos ainda que 6,9% das gestações evoluíram com óbito fetal ou neonatal imediatamente após o parto de um ou ambos os gêmeos. Conclusões: Foi frequente a associação de gemelaridade com pré-eclâmpsia, restrição de crescimento fetal, cesárea, prematuridade e baixo peso dos recém-nascidos. Esse estudo ratifica a associação das gestações gemelares com aumento de riscos de complicações e desfechos desfavoráveis, corroborando a necessidade de mais pesquisa sobre essa temática.

Present investigation was carried out to standardize the immunization dose of one recombinant antigen in rat model before conducting large animal experimentation. Tropomyosin (TPM), a muscle associated and highly conserved protein found in all species of invertebrates, was cloned, expressed in prokaryotic system and the downstream process was standardized. SDS-PAGE analysis showed a distinct band of approximately 51 kDa Western blot analysis using specific sera gave a strong reaction of approximately the same size as that of SDSPAGE. For standardization of immunization dose, the rTPM at three different dosages viz., 150, 300, 450 μg was used to immunize wister rats and the antibody response was titrated by ELISA. Applying ANOVA, highly significantdifference in anti-rTPM titre was recorded between the animals injected with 300 μg total dose (TD) and other dosages selected for the study. The significantly high antibody tire at 1:25600 dilution observed in animals immunized with 300 μg TD was selected for further study on in vivo immunization of calves and experimental challenge by the tick stages.

Published: March 2023

Genomic selection has been widely implemented in national and international genetic evaluation in the animal industry, because of its potential advantages over traditional selection methods and the availability of commercial high density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels.Considerable uncertainty currently exists in determining which genome-wide evaluation method is the most appropriate. We hypothesize that genome-wide methods deal differently with the genetic architecture of quantitative traits and genomes. A genomic linear unbiased prediction method (GBLUP) and a genomic nonlinear Bayesian variable selection methods (BayesA and BayesB) were compared using stochastic simulation across three effective population sizes (Ne). Thereby, a genome with three chromosomes, 100 cM each was simulated. For each animal, a trait was simulated with heritability of 0.50, three different marker densities (1000, 2000 and 3000 markers) and number of QTL was assumed to be either 100, 200 or 300. Data were simulated with two different distributions for the QTL effect which were uniform and gamma (a= 1.66, b=0.4). Marker density, number of QTL and QTL effect distributions significantly affected the genomic accuracy with different Ne. BayesB produced estimates with higher accuracies in traits influenced by a low number of QTL, high marker density, gamma QTL effect distribution and with high Ne.

Published: March 2023

In the past decade, a global demand for products from organic agriculture has increased rapidly. Milk quality is of major interest for all parties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare cow performance and product quality in conventional and organic system. Holstein dairy cows (16) were allotted to one of 3 diet groups, including a conventional diet (CON), an organic system with moderate forage (OMF) and an organic system with high forage (OHF). Multiparous cows (3rd and 4th parity) were randomly assigned to the treatments. Range forages were used as part of diets, and cows were offered concentrate and silage two times a day. Daily dry matter intake (DMI) and milk yield were measured across 200 d. Furthermore, somatic cell count, feed cost and feed efficiency were determined at 20-day intervals. MY was different for cows that treated the OHF (22.5 kg/d), OMF (24.9 kg/d), and CON (28.9 kg/d) systems, respectively. Body weights were not affected by treatments; however, differences in body condition scores were observed. Although energy corrected milk and milk urea nitrogen were higher in cows fed CON system; milk fat, phytanic acid, hippuric acid and profit to cost ratio were higher in cows fed organic systems. Additionally, lower feed efficiency, feed cost and blood urea nitrogen were observed in cows fed organic diets.
Housing Development and Informal Settlement Prevention Plan of Bungkan City, Thailand
Authors: Dhabhalabutr Kitapatr
Published: March 2023

An important challenge to delivering adequate housing solutions in Thailand is associated with management problems that lack an effective mechanism to connect between concerned organizations. It is necessary to equip local stakeholders with housing management capacity under a participatory process. In this project, a housing development plan that included extensive community participation was delivered to Bungkan province which is the most recently established province in Thailand (2011) and as such, still lacked such a plan. The research project, “Housing Development and Informal Settlement Prevention Plan of Bungkan City” was conducted collaboratively by the National Housing Authority of Thailand and Khon Kaen University. The three major research objectives were to: formulate a city housing development plan for Bungkan city; create a participatory process of stakeholders that empowered their capacity through the planning process; and create a mechanism for housing development which connects key agencies from the national level to the local community. The research applied the Ladder of Participation (Arnstein, 1969) as the theoretical framework, with a mixed scale of the ladders including Consultation, Partnership, and Delegated Power. Data gathering and the planning process used a mixed method approach that included geospatial analysis through a Geographic Information System application, in-depth interviews, a questionnaire survey, stakeholder meetings, study trips, workshops, and exhibitions. At the end of project, the research achieved a housing development plan for Bungkan city with a new vision that included 5 strategies, 12 plans, and 46 projects. The research found that the key factor of project success was stakeholder’s inclusion at the beginning stage to the last stage of operation. In particular, the partnership concept in the form of joint committees shaped trustworthy relationships between stakeholders and allowed them to share a sense of ownership.
Convergence of the materialistic and idealistic in the methodology of urban planning
Authors: Gabrel Mykola , Habrel Mykhailo
Published: March 2023

The realities of the present require changes and development of urban methodology as a science of methods covering the entire methodological chain – from clarifying concepts, streamlining tasks and establishing characteristics of objects to methods of analysis, evaluation and justification of decisions, and urban planning design and management of urban development. The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth understanding of the methodology of urbanism in the context of convergence (rapprochement, interconnection, interpenetration) of materialistic and idealistic approaches, and to streamline and develop methodological tools for urban planning. Urban planning activity is considered a set of purposes, criteria, priorities, and constraints. The multiplicity of purposes – strategic, tactical, regulatory, and criteria – necessitates changes in methodology, analysis and assessment of spatial situations, and justification of decisions, including the requirements of multicriteria. The design of territorial systems is oriented towards integrated development, increasing the validity and efficiency of the implementation of the concepts of their spatial organisation.

A pessoa com deficiência encontra diferentes percalços ao longo de sua vida. São situações de exclusão, preconceito e falta de acesso a direitos básicos, como o acesso ao mercado de trabalho, por exemplo. Nesse sentido, a inclusão social altamente buscada não só pelas pessoas com deficiência, mas por todo indivíduo que se sente excluído de alguma forma, do convívio social, entretanto, os parâmetros para definir o que seja essa inclusão são vagos ou de difícil quantificação, assim como são esparsas, embora urgentes, as ações na busca pela colocação dessas pessoas no mercado de trabalho. Entretanto, em dezembro de 2019 foi apresentado na câmara dos deputados, o projeto de lei PL 6.159/2019 que isenta as empresas da contratação de pessoas com deficiência e impõe a elas, como alternativa, o pagamento de uma multa ao fundo de reabilitação, o que significa verdadeiro retrocesso social nos direitos já conquistados por esta categoria. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho de conclusão de curso é discutir o projeto de lei 6.159/2019 e a garantia de acesso das pessoas com deficiência ao mercado de trabalho à luz do princípio da vedação do retrocesso social.
