CYBERSECURITY SOLUTIONS AND PRACTICES: FIREWALLS, INTRUSION DETECTION/PREVENTION, ENCRYPTION, MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
Authors: Roopesh Ms ,   Graduate Researcher, Master of Science in Department of Electrical Engineering, Lamar University, Texas, USA
Published: July 2024

In today's digitally interconnected world, cybersecurity is paramount for protecting sensitive information from sophisticated threats. This literature review examines four key cybersecurity solutions—firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), encryption, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)—highlighting their roles, advancements, and challenges based on 105 articles. Firewalls (n=35), including packet-filtering, stateful inspection, proxy, and next-generation firewalls (NGFWs), act as barriers controlling network traffic. NGFWs integrate deep packet inspection and application awareness, enhancing security despite complex maintenance issues. IDPS technologies (n=30) have evolved from anomaly detection to AI-integrated systems, improving threat detection while facing false-positive rates and zero-day exploit challenges. Encryption (n=25) ensures data confidentiality, progressing from basic ciphers to algorithms like AES and post-quantum cryptography, though it grapples with computational and key management complexities. MFA (n=15) enhances security through multiple verification factors, evolving from passwords to biometrics and behavioral analytics, yet faces user inconvenience and potential bypass methods. A comparative analysis reveals that firewalls and IDPS effectively prevent and detect threats but require meticulous management; encryption demands efficient key management; and MFA strengthens authentication but may encounter user resistance. Integrating these solutions within a layered security framework provides comprehensive protection, leveraging their strengths for a resilient security posture. Case studies affirm that multi-layered security approaches reduce breaches, underscoring the effectiveness of integrated cybersecurity practices. Continuous innovation, user education, and adaptive management are vital for addressing dynamic cyber threats, reinforcing the need for a robust, multi-faceted cybersecurity strategy.

Authors: Peñuela Jorge
Published: July 2024

La escritura puesta en escena en el Anarqueografia de la creación artística elabora algunos conceptos que son pensados para dar relieve a los ejercicios de algunos artistas pos contemporáneos. Presenta, además, algunas de las performancias de la artista Nadia Granados, con el propósito de mostrar las dinámicas del arte pos contemporáneo en Colombia. Muestra cómo los ejercicios de los artistas de performancia se presentan como una estrategia para recuperar la autonomía del pensamiento artístico. Para dar cuenta de estas prácticas experienciales, analiza la relación entre investigación científica y creación artística, y muestra cómo esta última es afectada de manera negativa por aquella. Piensa el concepto de metáfora teniendo en cuenta la experiencia en la cual emerge la escritura poética. Reivindica la relación de las artes con la poesía, señalando la absorción del pensamiento artístico dentro de los protocolos de investigación científica. Alerta al sistema del arte colombiano acerca de la cosificación y mercantilización de las expresiones artísticas y, entre otros conceptos, elabora el de poscontemporaneidad para señalar la necesidad expresada por muchos artistas en el sentido de desmarcarse de las lógicas del mercado de bienes suntuarios como aquellos puestos en escena en las ferias de arte.
Los estudios de egresados
Authors: Castaño Amanda , Díaz Wilson , Ramírez Piedad
Published: July 2024

Preguntarse por qué o para qué establecer un diálogo con el egresado o realizar estudios sobre ellos ha sido un tema de amplia reflexión para los integrantes de la comunidad educativa. A partir de estas cuestiones se han ido formulando políticas que permiten trazar un horizonte de sentido, con el objeto de redefinir el rumbo de su relación con la universidad. Se trata entonces de abrir espacios de participación y fortalecer sus vínculos con el medio sociocultural y laboral del cual hacen parte. Desde esta perspectiva, el seguimiento de egresados se constituye en una actividad esencial que busca establecer una relación de doble vía entre la institución formadora o el programa del que hicieron parte y el egresado, un actuar investigativo que sirve a la institución para evaluar y fortalecer su presencia en la sociedad, redefinir su quehacer y proponer alternativas que incidan en mejorar permanentemente su acción laboral y profesional.Este libro es parte del esfuerzo realizado por la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas para entrar en contacto con muchos de sus egresados, especialmente de las facultades de Ciencias y Educación e Ingeniería. El camino recorrido da cuenta de las diferentes tendencias en los estudios de egresados y las estrategias metodológicas que han sido empleadas para la recolección de información, la caracterización de sus trayectorias académicas y laborales, identificar sus condiciones de trabajo y desde su desempeño profesional proveer una mirada retrospectiva que aporta valiosas apreciaciones sobre los procesos de formación ofrecidos por los programas académicos y la Universidad Distrital.

Tulio Bayer. Una vida contra el dogma
Authors: Villanueva Orlando
Published: July 2024

“Para mí escribir libros no es negocio. Es un oficio intelectual, que se hace porque da placer (como podría darlo jugar ajedrez, billar, o montar a caballo). Y en mi caso se justifica cuando se logra poner en circulación una idea, o un cierto número de ideas, que para mí contribuyen al mejoramiento de la especie humana. Dicho esto, me quedará aclarar que la rebeldía por la rebeldía, o la violencia por la violencia, no es mi credo”.“Muchachos y muchachas están luchando, consciente o inconscientemente contra un complejo de castración que nosotros aguantamos transformado en el tercer testículo antioqueño: conseguir plata. O su equivalente con la consiguiente patología psicosomática, que va de la ulcera gástrica a la hipertensión arterial”.“Si la revolución es portar barba y sandalias y nivelar por lo bajo ¡maldita sea la revolución!”.“El desastre del socialismo es un hecho. El comunismo no existe todavía en el mundo. Dos desastres: comunismo y capitalismo. Solución a la vista: ninguna, por eso es que yo sigo siendo revolucionario”.“Sigo siendo revolucionario con base a una utopía: que la objetividad, fundamento de la ciencia, se convierta en la base de la ética. Si tengo tiempo, le haré una crítica al materialismo histórico y a Marx, en particular, reprochándole fundamentalmente su animismo. A ti y a mí nos dieron dos tóxicos para alimentarnos: el opio católico y la marihuana comunista”.“Estoy ciertamente harto de nutrir historietas y creo finalmente que mi vida se defiende por los hechos, se estructura perfectamente como la de un sujeto que, en resumidas cuentas, NO acepto: ‘el sistema’ porque el sistema es inaceptable”.“La síntesis de mi pensamiento es estar contra los dogmas. Ya sean políticos, filosóficos o científicos”.
Estatuas vivas
Authors: Pablo Pedro , Ruiz Eduardo
Published: July 2024

Estatuas Vivas es un acercamiento al fenómeno del "estatuismo" en Bogotá en diálogo con cinco de sus practicantes. Se examinan brevemente varios puntos de origen de estas prácticas artísticas dentro y fuera del arte occidental. Pero al pensarlas como un estar-siendo, en términos del filósofo Rodolfo Kusch, se encuentra que se mueven en un espacio fronterizo desde el que es posible interpelar las nociones de arte y estética. Desde ahí, se abren posibilidades para que los practicantes del estatuismo puedan repensar su hacer artístico y al mismo tiempo un espacio de diálogo con la escuela de formación en artes plásticas y visuales. Allí surge el interrogante, por parte de los estudiantes, de ampliar en los currículos los espacios de formación corporal. El libro es una muestra de los diálogos de la academia hacia fuera, en los cuales, antes que salir a enseñar, se encuentra mucho para aprender.
Desarrollo regional y medio ambiente
Authors: Preciado Jair
Published: July 2024

La ciudad de Bogotá y los municipios de la Sabana han venido experimentando un crecimiento físico y demográfico desde comienzos de la década de los ochenta que ha determinado de forma directa la aparición de fenómenos sociales y hechos ambientales sumamente complejos. La conformación de Bogotá como una ciudad región en el contexto latinoamericano, se traduce en una mayor demanda de bienes y servicios que ha generado una presión significativa sobre el medio físico regional. A lo largo de este periodo, ha sido prevalente un enfoque regional basado en el desarrollo económico. Temas como la competitividad, la industrialización y la inserción de la región en el contexto de una economía global han dejado de lado la dimensión ambiental, lo que constituye un grave error respecto de la planificación del desarrollo regional en la Sabana de Bogotá.
İL VE İLÇE İNSAN HAKLARI KURULLARI: KARARLARININ İCRAİLİĞİ VE KURULLARIN İDARİ TEŞKİLATTAKİ YERİNE İLİŞKİN SORUNLAR
Authors: Baydemir Elif
Published: July 2024

Ulusal insan haklarının korunmasına ve geliştirilmesine yönelik mekanizmalardan birisi il ve ilçe insan hakları kurullarıdır. İnsan hakları ihlallerinin önlenmesi, insan haklarının korunması ve geliştirilmesi için sosyal bilincin yerleştirilmesini hedefiyle oluşturulan il ve ilçe insan hakları kurulları çok yönlü yapılardır. Bu kurullar bir yandan idarenin eylem ve işlemlerinde insan haklarına uygun davranması konusunda bir tür denetim mekanizması olarak işlev görmekte, diğer yandan ise insan haklarının korunması bilincinin geliştirilmesi amacıyla idareyi harekete geçiren bir takım yardımcı görevler üstlenmektedir.
Bu çalışmanın bir ulusal insan hakları koruma mekanizması olarak yerel düzeyde örgütlenen il ve ilçe insan hakları kurullarına ilişkin yasal düzenlemelerin sorunlu noktalarına ışık tutması hedeflenmektedir. Toplumun il ve ilçe insan hakları kurullarının bir idari başvuru yolu olmasına ilişkin farkındalık düzeyi ve yasal düzenlemelerdeki motivasyon eksiliği birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, bu ulusal koruma mekanizmalarının tanınırlığının istenilen düzeyde olmadığı, kurullar ve işbirliği halinde çalıştığı diğer insan hakları koruma mekanizmaları arasındaki belirsiz hukuki bağın uygulamada pek çok probleme yol açtığı, öte yandan kurulların yapısı ve işleyişine yönelik yasal düzenlemelerin eksiliği nedeniyle insan haklarının korunmasında ve geliştirilmesinde etkisiz kaldığı, kurulların bireyleri tatmin edici düzeyde karar alma yetkisinin bulunmadığı ve tavsiye niteliğindeki bu kararların diğer kamu otoritelerini insan hakları konusunda harekete geçirmekte de yetersiz kaldığı, kurulların bir tür denetim mekanizması olmaktan ziyade başvuru olmadıkça toplanmayan yapılar haline dönüştüğü tespit edilmiştir.
Çalışmada, ulusal insan haklarının korunmasına yönelik bu mekanizmanın daha verimli hale getirilebilmesi için, idare hukuku perspektifinden hareketle ve idarenin örgütlenme biçimine uygun olacak şekilde mevzuatta değişmesi gereken noktalarına yönelik önerilerde bulunulacaktır.
İNSAN HAKLARININ ULUSAL KORUNMASI: 1998 İNGİLİZ İNSAN HAKLARI YASASI ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Ölçek Feyza
Published: July 2024

1998 İngiliz İnsan Hakları Yasası, Birleşik Krallık’ta yürürlükte olan önemli bir ulusal insan hakkı koruma mekanizmasıdır. İnsan Hakları Yasasının ortaya çıkışındaki önemli sebeplerden biri İngiliz insan hakları hukukunda “berraklaşma”nın sağlanmasıdır. Bir diğer sebep ise Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi’nin hazırlanmasında önemli katkısı olan Birleşik Krallık’ta, insan haklarının korunması için ulusal bir koruma yolu öngörülmemesi dolayısıyla devletin “zor durumda” kalmasıdır. Zira Birleşik Krallık’ta Sözleşme hükümlerinin ihlâli söz konusu olur ise bu ihlalden kaynaklanan uyuşmazlıkların çözümü için Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’ne başvurulması zorunluluk arz etmektedir. İnsan Hakları Yasası’nın hazırlanmasındaki önemli etkenlerden biri de husus olmuştur.
Comparison of Serum and Plasma Aluminum Concentrations in Sheep
Authors: ALTINOK YİPEL Fulya , YİPEL Mustafa
Published: July 2024

Although Aluminum (Al) is a non-essential toxic (neurotoxic, immunotoxic,
cardiotoxic, etc.) element, it is widely used in several industries (pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, food, etc.). Al-containing vaccines, medicines, contaminated food, and
polluted air are the main routes of exposure (inhalation, dermal or oral).
Determination and monitoring of blood element concentrations is an important tool
for the clinical diagnosis of toxicity in animal health and sheep is one of the indicator
species for assessing environmental health status. Aluminum is highly (>80) bound to
protein in blood. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a current
analytical method with high potential to contribute to clinical diagnosis in the field of
animal health, where elemental concentrations in biological samples can be measured
at multiple and parts per trillion (ppt) concentrations. The aim of this study was to
determine, statistically analyze, and compare Al concentrations in sheep (n=12) serum
and plasma by ICP-MS. The concentrations (mean±SE) were 56.34±1.82 and
62.22±2.30 for serum and plasma, respectively. The mean plasma concentration was
higher than the mean serum concentration, but the differences were not statistically
significant (P=0.06). While toxic concentrations in the liver and kidney have been
reported, there are no blood data for Al in sheep and the serum reference
concentration is reported for humans only. Owing to the lack of information on Al
toxicity in sheep, experimental acute toxic concentration studies of blood (whole
blood, plasma, and serum) are required for Al in sheep. In conclusion, no statistical
difference was found between serum and plasma concentrations, and no clinical signs
were observed at these concentrations.

A descriptive-correlational research design was used in thestudy to determine the organizational culture and job satisfaction of 48private school teachers in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija. Total populationsampling was employed, and the researcher used a normative surveymethod to collect data. The data gathered were tabulated, analyzed, andinterpreted using descriptive statistics. Most respondents were 22-29years old, female, single with a bachelor’s degree, handling grade 10,and had less than five years of teaching experience. Findings showedthat private school teachers strongly agree with the school'sorganizational culture. Moreover, the respondent strongly agrees thatthey are satisfied with their job. Furthermore, results showed thatorganizational culture in terms of people and work was significantlycorrelated to the respondents' job satisfaction.
Tests of a Gamma Spectrometer-Neutron Counter Relationship as a Neutron Alarm Metric in Mobile Radiation Search Systems
Authors: Wagner Jackson , Marianno Craig
Published: July 2024

A mobile radiological search system (MRSS) is frequently used in nuclear security to interdict illicit nuclear material. One difficulty an MRSS faces is in characterizing its detectors’ background responses, particularly in its neutron counter(s). This difficulty adds complications to identifying the presence of neutron-emitting radiological materials during an operation. Fortunately, previous work has identified a power law relationship between muons registered by the MRSS’s gamma detectors and background neutrons. This relationship can be applied to estimate the MRSS’s background neutron count rate using that muon count rate. To test the usability of such an estimate, an MRSS was used to sweep a parking garage that had an 886 kBq 252Cf source present on various levels. A moving average of the MRSS’s muon count rate was used to estimate the background neutron count rate, and that dynamic estimate was compared against the observed neutron count rate to determine whether an alarm should occur. For a “control” method, a similar comparison was made between the observed neutron count rate and a constant estimate of the neutron background, where the latter came from a 6-minute measurement of the neutron background outside the parking garage. The results showed that the dynamic estimate of the neutron background performed as well as the constant estimate when identifying whether the 252Cf was present, particularly when the MRSS was on the same level as the material. In many cases, the dynamic estimate produced stronger evidence in favor of an alarm than the constant estimate, and the dynamic estimate was also more likely to produce an alarm when the MRSS was on a level adjacent to the 252Cf. In addition to these results, the dynamic method appeared to have similar performance as the constant method when outside the parking garage. All of these data indicates that applying the neutron–muon power law relationship improves an MRSS’s sensitivity to manmade neutron sources in extreme environments (such as a parking garage or urban center) while maintaining its sensitivity in more normal, open environments.
The Pursuit of a Combined Educator-Counselor Identity: Gaps and Opportunities in School Counselor Training Scholarship

Published: July 2024

This special issue focuses exclusively on the training of future school counselors to adopt a non-dual and non-hierarchical identity as an EducatorCounselor. It is long documented that the school counselors’ straddling the worlds of education and counseling have led to identity and role confusion. Concerns about school counselors’ identity have persisted amidst changes in the counseling profession and resulted in a notable schism among leaders and professional associations. Building on the Levy and Lemberger-Truelove (2021) proposition that school counselors are EducatorCounselors, or school-building educators who consistently engage in educational tasks while being oriented by counseling, articles within this special issue offer the field of counselor education an opportunity to understand how shifts in our professional practice, preparation, supervision, and research dissemination can operationalize a clear and distinct EducatorCounselor identity for school-counselors-in-training.

Numerous lipids are heterogeneously distributed among organelles. Most lipid trafficking between organelles is achieved by a group of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) that carry lipids using their hydrophobic cavities. The human genome encodes many intracellular LTPs responsible for lipid trafficking and the function of many LTPs in defining cellular lipid levels and distributions is unclear. Here, we created a gene knockout library targeting 90 intracellular LTPs and performed whole-cell lipidomics analysis. This analysis confirmed known lipid disturbances and identified new ones caused by loss of LTPs. Among these, we found major sphingolipid imbalances in ORP9 and ORP11 knockout cells, two proteins of previously unknown function in sphingolipid metabolism. ORP9 and ORP11 form a heterodimer to localize at the ER-
trans
Golgi membrane contact sites, where the dimer exchanges phosphatidylserine (PS) for phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI(4)P) between the two organelles. Consequently, loss of either protein causes phospholipid imbalances in the Golgi apparatus that result in lowered sphingomyelin synthesis at this organelle. Overall, our LTP knockout library toolbox identifies various proteins in control of cellular lipid levels, including the ORP9-ORP11 heterodimer, which exchanges PS and PI(4)P at the ER-Golgi membrane contact site as a critical step in sphingomyelin synthesis in the Golgi apparatus.
Exploring the mediating roles of physical literacy and mindfulness on psychological distress and life satisfaction among college students

Background

Psychological distress has been a growing challenge to healthy living worldwide. Special attention has been concentrated on examining the cost of psychological distress on the life satisfaction of college students who are vulnerable groups coping with the challenge. The purpose of this study is to explore the roles of physical literacy (PL) and mindfulness in mediating the impact of psychological distress on life satisfaction among college students in China.

Methods

A sample of 653 students from six universities across three cities in China participated in an online survey, which included measures of PL, mindfulness, life satisfaction, as well as stress, anxiety, and depression levels. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was implemented to analyze the survey data.

Results

The findings of the SEM analysis demonstrated an acceptable model fit (X2/df = 3.63, CFI = 0.951, TLI = 0.940, RMSEA = 0.068, 90% CI = [0.060, 0.075], SRMR = 0.051) with a large effect size (R2 = 0.36) for life satisfaction, indicating that 36% of the variation in life satisfaction could be explained by the model. In addition, significant partial-mediation effects of PL and mindfulness were observed in the relationship between psychological distress and life satisfaction. These findings provide empirical support for the notion that interventions targeting PL and mindfulness practices may effectively enhance well-being and alleviate psychological distress among college students. Furthermore, this study suggests that integrating PL and mindfulness components into physical education and activity programs could be beneficial in meeting individuals’ holistic health needs.

Background

Understanding human stem cell differentiation into osteoblasts and osteoclasts is crucial for bone regeneration and disease modeling. Numerous morphological techniques have been employed to assess this differentiation, but a comprehensive review of their application and effectiveness is lacking.

Methods

Guided by the PRISMA framework, we conducted a rigorous search through the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases, analyzing 254 articles. Each article was scrutinized against pre-defined inclusion criteria, yielding a refined selection of 14 studies worthy of in-depth analysis.

Results

The trends in using morphological approaches were identified for analyzing osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation. The three most used techniques for osteoblasts were Alizarin Red S (mineralization; six articles), von Kossa (mineralization; three articles) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP; two articles) followed by one article on Giemsa staining (cell morphology) and finally immunochemistry (three articles involved Vinculin, F-actin and Col1 biomarkers). For osteoclasts, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP staining) has the highest number of articles (six articles), followed by two articles on DAPI staining (cell morphology), and immunochemistry (two articles with VNR, Cathepsin K and TROP2. The study involved four stem cell types: peripheral blood monocyte, mesenchymal, dental pulp, and periodontal ligament.

Conclusion

This review offers a valuable resource for researchers, with Alizarin Red S and TRAP staining being the most utilized morphological procedures for osteoblasts and osteoclasts, respectively. This understanding provides a foundation for future research in this rapidly changing field.

Published: July 2024

Las plantas nativas y endémicas de Chile presentan un potencial como fuente de nuevas moléculas que ofrezcan servicios ecosistémicos, específicamente en alimentación y medicina, por lo cual es de interés descubrir su potencial mediante su bioactividad y capacidad antioxidante, ambas relevantes para la salud humana. En este estudio se seleccionaron 4 especies con antecedentes etnobotánicos y se evaluó su capacidad antioxidante y bioactividad contra bacterias patógenas mediante el uso de extractos etanólicos. La capacidad antioxidante se midió mediante 3 pruebas: poder antioxidante por reducción férrica (FRAP), secuestro de radical ABTS+ y secuestro de radical DPPH, mientras que la bioactividad contra bacterias patógenas se evaluó mediante el cálculo de la mínima concentración inhibitoria (MCI) y halo de inhibición (HI) frente a Escherichia coli y Staphylococcus aureus. Adicionalmente se determinó la cantidad de fenoles totales mediante la metodología de Folin-Ciocalteu y flavonoides totales mediante uso de cloruro de aluminio. Cissus striata fue la especie cuyo extracto obtuvo la mayor capacidad antioxidante en las 3 pruebas. La cantidad de fenoles totales tiene una alta correlación positiva con la capacidad antioxidante de cada especie. Mitraria coccinea y C. striata presentaron actividad frente a S. aureus donde M. coccinea obtuvo el mayor halo de inhibición y C. striata obtuvo la MCI más baja. Los flavonoides totales tienen una alta correlación positiva con el halo de inhibición, y alta correlación negativa con la MCI. Finalmente se determinó que C. striata y M. coccinea son especies de interés que ofrecen servicios ecosistémicos a través de la composición de sus extractos.
