Evaluating the Outcomes of Human-Centered Design in a Virtual Program
Development Higher Education Course
Authors: Leman Amy , Mott Rebecca
Published: May 2023

Societal changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic
have shown the importance of both intrapersonal and interpersonal skills in virtual
environments. Two midwestern university instructors joint-taught their spring 2021
agricultural education and training program development courses, bringing students
together in virtual teams during the pandemic. Course content included human-centered
design (HCD) practices (a problem-solving approach focused on the end-user) applied to
traditional models of education and program planning. Previous research from other
fields has shown that HCD helps students become more empathetic, collaborate in more
meaningful ways, and appreciate the need to adapt their points of view. Students in this
training program development course completed a retrospective pre-posttest survey about
their perceptions of skills associated with HCD. Overall, the course had a significant
impact on skills associated with human-centered design. Further research should be
conducted to explore human-centered practices applied to traditional education and
training program planning models.

O antissemitismo universal: o racismo de árabes, brancos e negros não judeus contra judeus: um breve panorama
Authors: De Lima Alan Freire , De Lima Arlete Freire
Published: May 2023

Há muito tempo que presenciamos e enfrentamos ao longo da história da humanidade o surgimento do anti judaísmo. Presenciamos várias formas de tentativas de perseguição e de execução do povo judeu, ou israelitas. O antijudaísmo se deu desde tempos remotos desde a antiguidade histórica atos de opressões desde os mais simbólicos e sutis aos mais violentos e massacrantes, chegando ao auge na escravidão do povo israelita no Egito. Em muitas nações árabes islâmicas houve massacres. Diversos tipos de sociedades e culturas cometeram atrocidades contra o povo judeu, desde as nações e impérios politeístas da antiguidade, assim como em vários períodos e nações hegemonicamente cristãs, especialmente no período baixo da idade média na Inglaterra pelo Rei Eduardo I em 1290, e na era moderna na Península Ibérica a partir de 1492 pelos monarcas da Espanha e pela monarquia portuguesa em 1496, coincidindo com a expansão marítima de Portugal e Espanha e se extendendo a perseguição aos criptojudeus e judaizantes com a instauração da inquisição nos países coloniais na América Latina. Na era contemporânea ocidental com o advento do antijudaísmo e antissemitismo na Alemnha nazista na segunda guerra mundial, esta foi de forma rápida e intensiva a outra de forma prolongada e ininterrupta durante séculos de inquisição cristã contra os judeus e o judaísmo. Recentemente, nas Américas na era contemporânea presenciamos supremacistas brancos, supremacistas negros e muitos negros antissemitas fazendo ataques racistas por meio dos meios de comunicação de massa e nas redes sociais digitais.

Objectives: To determine the correlation between total serum IgE levels and some clinical and subclinical characteristics in pemphigoid patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study on 42 pemphigoid patients, all of which were newly diagnosed. Information was collected from patient interviews and medical records. Total serum IgE levels were determined using a total IgE ELISA following the manufacturer’s instructions. Eosinophil counts were analyzed on the same day when serum samples were taken. For IgE DIF staining of perilesional skin, IgE Goat anti-Human, FITC was used, incubation was performed overnight at 4oC.Results: Among 42 pemphigoid patients, the average age was 73.2 ± 15.5 years old. 60% of pemphigoid patients had elevated total serum IgE levels, the mean value was 121.6 ± 101.8 UI/mL. Total serum IgE levels were significantly correlated with eosinophil counts (r = 0.61; p < 0.05) and the BPDAI urticaria/erythema (U/E) score (r = 0.50; p < 0.05). However, total circulating IgE levels were not significantly associated with total BPDAI score (p > 0.05). DIF IgE staining on perilesional skin of pemphigoid patients had a positive rate of 14.3%.Conclusion: Total serum IgE values correlated with some clinical and subclinical characteristics in pemphigoid patients. IgE autoantibodies were present in the skin of pemphigoid patients, supporting the hypothesis that IgE potentially modulates pruritus associated with pemphigoid.

Published: May 2023

Patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CKD) in the uremic stage can suffer various degrees of damage to various organ systems throughout the body, with the nervous system being common and severe. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) complicated with stroke has a high incidence and poor prognosis, which brings a heavy burden to patients and society. Understanding the risk factors of uremic patients complicated with stroke and taking preventive measures as soon as possible is of great significance for controlling the progress of the disease. The risk factors of uremic patients complicated with stroke are complex and diverse. Traditional risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, etc. Non traditional risk factors such as genetic susceptibility, uremia, anemia, mineral and bone abnormalities can also promote the occurrence of stroke. In addition, dialysis related risk factors such as insufficient cerebral perfusion, increased arterial stiffness, and increased blood pressure variability can also cause stroke. Therefore, it is important to identify the risk factors of stroke in uremic patients as early as possible and take targeted preventive measures.

Published: May 2023

The objective of this research is to examine the implementation of accounting conservatism in the context of positive accounting theory, which includes the bonus plan, debt covenant, and political cost hypothesis. The study focused on 45 Islamic Bank Companies listed on Financial Services Authority (OJK) between 2017 and 2021, and the sample was chosen using purposive sampling based on specific criteria. The multiple regression technique was employed for analysis. The results indicate leverage and firm size have a positive effect on accounting conservatism, while capital intensity has a negative effect on accounting conservatism. Public and managerial ownership do not have an impact on accounting conservatism. Therefore, the study concludes that accounting conservatism is affected by leverage, firm size, and capital intensity.

Android apps are structurally more vulnerable to reverse engineering attacks
relative to other mobileapps. Several different methods are being employed to protect
apps from such attacks, and amongthose is packing. However, even with packing, a problem
exists where the attacker can obtain theentire original bytecode through dynamic
analysis. As a result, in this paper, we propose a scheme toimprove existing methods by
addressing the problem of exposing all of the original bytecode by firstsplitting the
original bytecode into multiple parts and then wrapping and dropping them to
preventreverse engineering analysis. Furthermore, we constructed the proposed scheme and
compared itsperformance and level of security with alternative existing
methods.

The Italian towns have a cultural heritage that often do not succeed in being
completely en-hanced. The natural, artistic and cultural resources present in the
Italian towns, above all the smallest ones, many times remain hidden and are not enjoyed
by the tourists. The experience of a touristic visit is a learning process very
fascinating and interesting. The emotions can change according to the interests of the
individuals, as well as of the physical, personal and social-cultural context. The
objective is to attract the user, introducing to him/her the content filtrated tailored,
opportunely mixed with the context, to determine what part of the information is
sig-nificant respecting the environmental conditions, with the purpose to get a visit
experience more and more rich. In this paper, it is introduced an Adaptive Context-Aware
app able to support a tourist inside a town. The system can guide the tourist in the
discovery of a town proposing him/her resources and services mainly interesting for the
user according to his/her interests and the position where he/she is. The objective is
reached through the use of a system of description of the context with a graphical
formalism named Context Dimension Tree. The App collects in-formation also from social
environments adapting the proposed itinerary taking into account the communities and the
interests of the user. The entire approach has been tested inside the town of Salerno
(Regione Campania, in Italy) with very interesting results.

The location of vehicles, which may contain some sensitive information, is
critical for VANETs security.The literature location privacy-preserving scheme suffers
from either selfish vehicle node orvehicle density issues. In this paper, a novel
location privacy-preserving scheme for VANETs isproposed based on virtual mix zone which
is created dynamically when the pseudonyms of vehiclenodes are going to be expired.
Moreover, a reputation model and mechanism is introduced to encouragethe selfish node to
join the mix zone. The evaluation and analysis show that the proposedscheme performs
better than the typical ones in terms of privacy strength and energy cost.

The East Japan Great Earthquake in 2011 brought various damages such as the delay
of rescue,the heavy traffic jam, and the shortage of rations because of the heavy
damages of the informationnetworks. Therefore, this paper proposed the D2D
(Device-to-Device) based DTN (Delay TolerantNetworks) for Disaster Information Systems.
The methods consist of the D2D wireless connectioncontrols with the group priority that
is based on the historical locational data and the Data Triagemethod that is the data
priority functions based on the user policy when the device transmits the data.Then, the
results are discussed by the experimental data using the prototype system, and also
thefuture works for the usages of the vehicle to vehicle communication are
discussed.

In recent years, machine learning has been widely used in data analysis for
predicting models, suchas face/pattern recognition, image processing, simultaneous
interpretation and speech recognition.However, these massive data are sensitive, which
raises privacy concerns. Therefore, to protect thedata privacy, in this paper, we design
a scheme for securely training machine learning model on thejointed data that provided
from different sources. Our scheme falls in the two-server-aided modeland allows one
server to conduct most of computations, and another server to provides
auxiliarycomputation. We prove the security of our scheme in the semi-honest
model.

Published: May 2023

The relationship between data rate and transmission power is analyzed in this
paper. Moreover, an algorithmcombined with adaptive data rate (ADR) and transmission
power control (TPC) is proposedin this paper, and it improves battery life significantly
on IoT devices. In the premise that withoutprejudicing the accuracy of wireless
transmission, the faster data rate and lower transmission powercan be used to reduce
power consumption. The results of a longtime test show that the nodes withthe proposed
algorithm not only achieve power saving when good transmitting environment, but
alsoaccomplish stable communication in the harsh environment. In the best case, compared
with the noalgorithmnodes, the nodes with the ADR and TPC algorithms can be reduced
power consumptionup to 50%.

Published: May 2023

As an important part of intelligent transportation system, VANETs can provide a
variety of servicesfor driving vehicles, where the payment is the most important one.
However, most schemes focus onthe services provided by VANETs and seldom involve
payment, which makes it difficult for serviceproviders to provide long-term and stable
services. In this paper, taking the parking toll managementsystem as a scenario, an
electronic payment system based on blockchain is designed. Due tothe tamper-resistant
and non-repudiation of the blockchain, the proposed scheme can guarantee theinterests of
service providers and consumers. Through security analysis, the proposed scheme ownshigh
security.
K-Coverage: A Monitor Node Selection Algorithm for Diffusion Source
Localizations
Authors: Yuexin Zhang  , Jianjun Zhang
Published: May 2023

The method of selecting monitor nodes has a direct impact on the accuracy of the
infection sourcelocalization, and infection source localization methods that use monitor
observation tend to focuson the source localization itself and ignore the selection of
monitor nodes. The biggest problem ofusing graph centrality to select monitor nodes is
that the distribution of the selected monitor nodesmay be too concentrated, thus
affecting the effect of infection source localization. In order to solvethe problem of
centralized distribution of monitor nodes, a hierarchical method of selecting
monitornodes using K-shell is proposed. To further improve the effectiveness of the
selection, the overlappingrange of neighbors is introduced into the selection method.
Through simulation experimentson various networks of various sizes, the monitor node
selection method can effectively improve theaccuracy of infection source
localization.

(NDVI) image. It utilizes the Raspberry Pimicrocomputer which was capable of performing
different image processing techniques to processimages captured by the multi-spectral
band digital cameras. The system applied image rectification,and stereo correspondence
prior to calculation of the NDVI. Images produced were validated and are70 percent
comparable to an existing system.
A Formalisation of Digital Forensic String Search Specifications
Authors: Benjamin Aziz
Published: May 2023

Computer forensic tools are tools concerned with the identification, recovery,
preservation and analysisof evidence in digital media involved in criminal
investigations and illegal cases. String searchtools are a special class of such
forensic tools, which are used to search for specific queries in theinvestigated medium.
However, one main issue we find in literature mainly is that computer forensictools,
including string search tools, are generally specified in an informal and oftentimes
ambiguousand inconstant manner. We adopt in this short paper formal specification
approaches, in particularEvent-B, in order to define clearly the behaviour and
properties of string search tools, a class of computerforensic tools, and investigate
whether there are any requirements that cannot be achieved. Ourresults show that some
basic and optional requirements as stated in literature related to string searchtools
could be not be consistent and some are unnecessarily restrictive.
Performance Evaluation of Routing Protocols for Opportunistic Networks: An Energy
Efficiency Perspective
Authors: Rodney S. Tholanah  , Zelalem S. Shibeshi  , Khuram Khalid
Published: May 2023

In most computer networks, a path between a sending node and the destination node
is requiredto transfer data. There are instances where such a path for communication may
not exist, suchas in space communications, and the standard message routing techniques
will not work. OpportunisticNetworks were developed to solve this problem.
Infrastructure-less Opportunistic Networks(OppNets) are a type of Delay Tolerant
Networks where nodes in the network are responsible forforwarding messages to the
destination nodes under the constraints of intermittent connectivity, dynamictopology
changes, and non-guarantee of an end-to-end path. Various routing protocols
weredeveloped for OppNets; however, these routing protocols are energy-inefficient, and
this is a problembecause devices that are used in OppNets are usually battery-powered.
In this project, newenergy-efficient routing protocols for OppNets, namely, E
FirstContactRouter, E WaveRouter, EFloatingContentRouter and E LifeRouter were developed
from their energy-inefficient base routingprotocols, namely FirstContactRouter,
WaveRouter, FloatingContentRouter and LifeRouter. Theenergy-efficient routing protocols
were compared against their energy-inefficient base protocols andother developed
energy-efficient routing protocols, namely E-Prophet, E-Epidemic, E-MaxProp
andE-Spray&Wait routing protocols. The energy metrics that we used to do the tests
were the numberof dead nodes and the average remaining energy. Simulations were carried
out using the OpportunisticNetwork Environment (ONE) simulator and it was discovered
that the proposed energy-awarerouting protocols outperform their non-energy-aware
counterparts in terms of the above-mentionedperformance metrics.
A formal security proof of generic construction of anonymous IBE from PEKS
Authors: Hyun Sook Rhee  , Taek-Young Youn
Published: May 2023

Abdalla et al.[1, 2] proposed a transform of an anonymous IBE (A-IBE) scheme to a
PEKS(Publickey encryption with keyword search) scheme. Boneh et al. proposed a transform
of a PEKS schemeto an A-IBE scheme for only one-bit message. Rhee et al.[3] proposed a
transform for constructingan A-IBE scheme for polynomially many-bit message by using a
PEKS scheme. They firstly defineda multiple PEKS (mPEKS) scheme and showed that a mPEKS
scheme can be constructed from aPEKS scheme. In this paper, we formally prove that if a
PEKS scheme is confidential, so is theresulting mPEKS scheme. We then provide a
transform from a mPEKS scheme to an A-IBE schemefor a polynomially many-bit
message.
