Published: February 2024

Local maize varieties in Mexico play a crucial role in food security, cultural diversity, and agricultural sustainability. These varieties constitute a reservoir of genetic diversity critical for the adaptability of maize to changing climatic conditions. To characterize 12 local maize varieties from the Frailesca Region, Chiapas, an experiment was established under completely randomized field conditions. Evaluated variables included phenological cycle, leaf and root biomass production, plant height, stem diameter, ear shape, and leaf coloration. A Hierarchical Cluster Multivariate Analysis was conducted to group varieties based on their characteristics. A mixed correlation model was used to assess the dynamic proportion of root biomass to total biomass. Two groups were identified based on phenological characteristics: the first type grouped 10 varieties with early traits, and the second type comprised 2 late varieties. Regarding biomass production, three types were found: high biomass production, with 4 varieties; low biomass production, represented by 7 varieties; and one atypically high biomass production variety. Radical biomass increased linearly until 120 days. The variety "Olotillo Amarillo Parral Dos" achieved greater height, while "Macho Totomoxtle Morado" was the smallest. Ear shapes varied between open and semi-open, and the leaf color was an intense green.

Jesus is the Word of God who has existed since eternity alongside the Father and Holy Spirit. The pre-existence is timeless. He is the creator of the Universe with all is content and has authority over it. Abstrak:Penulisan karya ilmiah ini akan membahas mengenai argumentasi teologis terhadap pandangan para bidat tentang keilahian Yesus. Penulisan ini didasari oleh pengamatan penulis bahwa akhir-akhir ini ditemukan banyak sekali bidat-bidat yang menyangkal keilahian Yesus yang bisa membahayakan iman Kristen. Berangkat dari permasalahan tersebut, penulis akan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian pustaka. Adapun tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah untuk mengumpulkan data sebayak-banyaknya tentang bidat-bidat apa saja yang tidak mengakui bahwa Yesus adalah Firman Allah yang menjadi manusia. Berdasarkan penelitian ini ditemukan fakta bahwa kehadiran bidat-bidat ini ditengah gereja benar adanya dan sudah banyak menyesatkan orang Kristen. Hal ini ditandai adanya penolakan terhadap finalitas Yesus. Akan tetapi teologi Kristen secara jelas menilai apa yang diungkapkan oleh para bidat merupakan sebuah kekeliruan. Yesus yang mereka ajarkan adalah Yesus yang lain. Yesus adalah Firman Allah yang sudah eksis sejak kekekalan bersama dengan Bapa dan Roh Kudus. Praeksitensi Yesus tanpa batas waktu. Dia adalah Pencipta alam semesta dengan segala isinya dan yang berkuasa atasnya. Kata Kunci: perumpamaan; Lukas; sosial

Published: February 2024

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), one of the wild fruit species that stands out with its various uses, is used as a medicinal plant and is important in the pharmaceutical field because its flowers and fruits have blood pressure reducing, heart regulating and strengthening effects. In addition, in recent years, it has become one of the most desired fruits for fresh consumption and orchards have started to be established in Türkiye. The material of the study consisted of the genotypes of three different hawthorn species (Crataegus pseudoheterophylla, Crataegus × sinaica and Crataegus rhipidophylla var. rhipidophylla), which are naturally found in Sivas, Bolu, Kütahya and Karabük provinces and are known to be very difficult to propagate by vegetative methods. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of different treatments on seed germination in the seeds of these species. Crataegus monogyna species was used as a control in the study. In terms of thousand seed weight, Crataegus monogyna with 160.25 g, Crataegus pseudoheterophylla with 120.30 g and Crataegus rhipidophylla var. rhipidophylla with 85.89 g showed the highest values. In terms of seed occupancy rate, Crataegus rhipidophylla var. rhipidophylla (93.33%) and Crataegus monogyna (63.33%) genotypes stood out. The highest germination rates were obtained from Crataegus monogyna (51.66%) and Crataegus rhipidophylla var. rhipidophyll (43.33%) with lye + seaweed soaking treatment. In Crataegus × sinaica, 31.66% germination rate was obtained with gibberellic acid treatment. It is predicted that the results obtained will contribute to the selection of appropriate methods according to the species to overcome germination difficulties in hawthorn, to expand the commercial cultivation and utilization areas of hawthorn and to the conservation of these important genetic resources.
Crónicas de mi insomnio

Published: February 2024

"Hoy les presento un libro con historias, anécdotas y reflexiones de mi vida y carrera profesional, son relatos simples, sencillos, con reflexiones personales e intimas. Este libro nació como un deseo de llevar un mensaje de alegría, esfuerzo y prosperidad. Mensajes para transformar la sociedad, no con grandes hazañas sino con pequeñas acciones, quisiera, sin ser pretencioso, una mejor sociedad con visión de servicio a nuestros semejantes, con sentido de lealtad a nuestros amigos y amor a nuestras familias.  Algunas historias son alegres y quisiera que el lector sonriera, se divirtiera, pero como dice el comediante, "fácil es morir, difícil es hacer reir.  El insomnio, ha sido mi eterno compañero, mi refugio de pensamiento, de tristeza, desespero y esperanza. Mis noches son muy largas, pero han sido estas horas, los momentos de introspección, trabajo, creación y nuevos retos. En un inicio el insomnio me generó depresión y ansiedad, luego se volvió mi cómplice y mi amigo. Las noches son momentos de oscuridad y de reflexión donde los pensamientos afloran con calma y permiten una meditación profunda, el tiempo donde he disfrutado mis éxitos y llorado mis fracasos. Espero la noche como el espacio de reencuentro espiritual, de sentir y disfrutar cada momento que he vivido. El insomnio terminará en el descanso eterno."
Associated of Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) Polymorphism in IL 4 with Susceptibility to Breast Cancer in Iraqi Women
Authors: Oun Noorhan Ihsan , Salih Maan Hasan
Published: February 2024

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is common disease in the worldwide. Furthermore genetic mutations are known to enhance BC risk. The aim of this research is to examine correlation between the frequency of BC among Iraqi women and a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the IL-4 gene.

 Methods: The study included 74 patients and 54 healthy women. To determine the genotypes of the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in the IL-4 gene, a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique was employed. Additionally, a complete blood count (CBC) test was conducted. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between genotypes and the occurrence of BC. Measures of association were computed in the form of odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The threshold for statistical significance in both CBC analysis and genotyping analysis was established as a p-value below 0.05.

Results: Among the CBC analysis, only the results of RBC (red blood cell count) and WBC (white blood cell count) showed statistical significance at the p = 0.05 level when comparing the study population. However, our investigation identified no association between IL-4 gene variant genotypes and breast cancer in Iraqi women. Other than tumor differentiation and body mass index(p < 0.05), no clinical or pathological features of BC patients were linked to variant genotypes.

Conclusion: The study concluded a substantial RBC and WBC relationship between patients and control. However, the IL-4 genetic variation does not appear to affect breast cancer development or progression. However, the IL-4 genetic variation may affect disease prognosis. Thus, more research is needed to determine how IL-4 genetic variation affects breast cancer prognosis.

Scope of proof - Institute of Criminal Procedure Law
Authors:   Grigol Robakidze University, Kebuladze Beka
Published: February 2024

In general, crime is a social phenomenon that existed, exists and will always exist. Society's attitude towards crime is strongly negative. After it has been committed, the public interest is to solve the crime and impose a fair punishment on the offender. In some cases, the facts are so clear that it is possible that they clearly pointed to one particular person, but this is not enough to identify and punish the culprit. The only way to do this is fair justice. For justice, it is necessary to establish the truth. Therefore, the facts related to the crime and the determination of the person's guilt should be done in a legal way. Investigation of crime, detection of the culprit and fair punishment are the most difficult processes, which are strictly regulated by the criminal procedural law, where the law of evidence has a special place. Key words: evidence, scope of proof, guilt, prosecutor, accused.

Authors: Mulyani Desi , Sartiyah Sartiyah , Srinita Srinita
Published: February 2024

The Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) provides an overview of the population aged 15 years and over who are active at working age, whether they are currently working, not yet working, or looking for work. By knowing the LFPR, the percentage of the working-age population that is economically active in a region can be known. The higher the LFPR, the higher the supply of available labor to produce goods and services. This study aims to analyze the effect of education, junior and senior high school workforce, economic growth, and labor force participation rates on employment absorption in the districts/cities of Aceh Province. The data used is secondary data with a time series from 2014 to 2021 and cross-sections from 23 districts/cities in Aceh Province. Data analysis used the Panel Regression Model with the Generalized Least Squares Method. The results showed that the workforce has a junior high school education, the average length of schooling, and the labor force participation rate positively affect employment. In contrast, the workforce has a high school education, and economic growth does not affect employment. Considering that the number of junior high school education staff is the largest, educational improvement must be carried out with government policies in remote areas in Aceh Province so that more highly educated workers can be absorbed.

Authors: Khoo Selina , Zhang Zhe , Adnan Yuhanis , Alhumaid Majed M.
Published: February 2024

This study utilised a bibliometric approach to examine research patterns related to disability that have been conducted in Arab countries. A systematic search was conducted using two search strings encompassing “Arab countries” and “disability” in the titles of publications indexed in the Web of Science database. Overall trends, the most prominent authors based on the number of publications and citations, and maps representing co-authorship, country, and institution clusters were analysed. A total of 1205 publications from 1974 to 2023 were included for analysis, revealing an increasing number of publications over the years, particularly in the last 20 years. Notably, half of the publications were published in the last 6 years. Among the 22 Arab countries, 5 contributed to 64% of all the publications, with Saudi Arabia emerging as the most prolific country. Conversely, Comoros, Djibouti, and Mauritania did not have any publications in the dataset. Multiple sclerosis was the most extensively studied disability, accounting for 18.3% of the publications. Active research collaborations were observed both within and outside the Arab region. The citation rates were comparable to other research areas in Arab countries, with the most highly cited publication dating back to 1983. Our findings indicate that there is a need for more disability research in the region, especially in under-researched countries and disabilities.

A coercion-resistant online voting protocol based on blind signatures and fake credentials
Authors: Silva Vítor Rezende , Barros Charles F. de
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we present an initial proposal for a practical implementation of an online voting system based on blind signatures, to provide both ballot secrecy and integrity, together with universal verifiability. Moreover, the proposed system offers coercion-resistance by means of a credential scheme based on fake passwords, that the voter can use when under coercion. The idea is that fake passwords seem indistinguishable from valid passwords, and by allowing the voter to use an arbitrary number of fake passwords, no adversary is capable of determining if a coerced voter is casting a valid ballot or a fake ballot.

Published: February 2024

Ainda hoje, a segurança é um desafio crítico nas Redes Definidas por Software (SDN), incluindo ameaças como ataques de negação de serviço distribuído (DDoS). Nesse cenário, o uso de aprendizado de máquina é promissor para detectar e mitigar tais ataques, onde devem ser considerados não apenas o desempenho do modelo, como também, o seu impacto no desempenho do controlador da rede. Este trabalho propõe uma abordagem baseada em microsserviços, avaliando cinco modelos de aprendizado de máquina para detecção. Os resultados identificaram o Random Forest como mais eficaz com F1-Score de 98.65%. Além disso, a abordagem de microsserviços permitiu a utilização de modelos mais complexos sem prejudicar o desempenho do controlador SDN.

Em meio ao cenário digital em constante expansão, a exposição a conteúdo impróprio, como racismo, homofobia e sexismo, tornou-se uma preocupação cada vez mais premente. Apesar da literatura existente sobre discurso de ódio online, persistem limitações significativas, incluindo a falta de automação e mecanismos de alerta eficazes. Este artigo propõe uma abordagem inovadora, apresentando o BOU-Guard (Behavior Observation Unit - Guard), baseado na tecnologia GPT-3.5-Turbo, para detectar e filtrar conteúdos preconceituosos ou ofensivos. Por meio de uma prova de conceito, demonstrou-se que a aplicação do mecanismo proposto na análise de 30 páginas web é capaz de detectar conteúdos ofensivos com alta F1-Score média para conteúdos relacionados a homofobia (94,69%), racismo (98,45%) e machismo (98,09%).
Instrumentação de programas binários legados para compatibilização com Intel CET
Authors: Araújo Éverton C. , Tymburibá Mateus , Rimsa Andrei
Published: February 2024

Mecanismos de proteção contra ataques que alteram o fluxo de execução de programas têm sido desenvolvidos por fabricantes de semicondutores. A tecnologia CET (Control-flow Enforcement Technology), criada recentemente pela Intel, é um exemplo promissor desse tipo de proteção. Para usá-la, programas devem incorporar uma nova instrução adicionada à arquitetura x86. Portanto, essa solução não se aplica a programas que não podem ser recompilados. Este trabalho propõe a utilização de técnicas de instrumentação para identificar as posições de um binário onde essa nova instrução deve ser adicionada. Posteriormente, ela é embutida nesses pontos identificados, utilizando uma técnica de remendo que garanta a integridade do executável.

Analysis of Committeeless Proof-of-Stake protocol: Searching for a better point of operation
Authors: Peixoto Vinícius , Henriques Marco Aurélio Amaral
Published: February 2024

This work aims to discuss the currently ongoing efforts towards the implementation of a fully autonomous and decentralized consensus mechanism based on Proof-of-Stake. We focus on the technical challenges arising from adopting a committeeless Proof-of-Stake consensus protocol (CPoS) where the global state of the entire peer-to-peer network is used to converge to a distributed consensus instead of relying on a validation committee. Specifically, we analyse the performance and security tradeoffs of the protocol. Since the CPoS protocol is very sensitive to its configuration parameters, we investigate their full impact on the blockchain performance and propose improvements to previous works in the area.

Published: February 2024

Esse projeto apresenta o BinclustRE, uma ferramenta de Código Aberto que cria um pipeline para agrupamento automatizado em binários de executáveis, o que é útil para a segurança porque programas agrupados juntos devem apresentar vulnerabilidades de segurança parecidas. Ele implementa um pipeline no qual é simples integrar novas técnicas e executa-as com multi-threading e cache dos resultados intermediários. Nossos experimentos mostram que o BinclustRE foi capaz de agrupar versões da libssl do OpenSSL vulneráveis ao Heartbleed em grupos diferentes a versões pelo menos um ano mais novas que a correção.

Published: February 2024

ADBuilder é uma ferramenta recente que permite a construção de datasets atualizados para detecção de malwares Android. Entretanto, ela carece de um fluxo mais rigoroso de rotulação de amostras e recursos adicionais para explorar metadados e construir datasets mais ricos. Por esse motivo, apresentamos uma evolução da ADBuilder, que resulta em duas novas ferramentas especializadas, a AMGenerator e AMExplorer. Enquanto a AMGenerator implementa as etapas de aquisição de dados, extração de metadados e caracteŕısticas e rotulação robusta, a AMExplorer é especializada em explorar coleções de metadados e construir datasets mais completos e ricos para especialistas em detecção de malwares Android.
