Published: August 2024

The security of electronic banking transactions is becoming increasingly critical due to the rising threat of cyberattacks, which can result in financial and reputational damage to financial institutions. Despite the implementation of various authentication methods, vulnerabilities remain that can be exploited by attackers, particularly in the context of static passwords and tokens. This study aims to address these shortcomings by implementing the Two-Way Challenge-Response method, which offers a more robust and dynamic authentication approach. The method employed in this research involves the exchange of information between the client and server, where the challenges generated are unique to each authentication session. This process not only validates user identities but also ensures that the transmitted information cannot be predicted by third parties. The results of the study indicate that the application of this method significantly reduces the risk of attacks such as identity theft and replay attacks, while also enhancing the speed and efficiency of the authentication process. The implications of these findings suggest that the Two-Way Challenge-Response method can be an effective solution for enhancing the security of electronic banking transactions. By adopting this method, financial institutions can strengthen their security systems, increase user trust, and reduce the potential for losses due to cyberattacks. This research contributes significantly to the development of more secure authentication systems in the digital age

Seeing through the Sea with Satellites: Reconstructing Ocean Subsurface Temperature and Salinity with Satellite Observations
Authors: Liu Shizuo , Hu Shineng
Published: August 2024

Abstract. In-situ measurements of ocean temperature and salinity are critical to ocean-related studies but are limited in space and time. Satellite retrievals provide high-resolution, globally-covered sea surface temperature (SST), salinity (SSS) and cannot directly measure the subsurface information., and height (SSH), but are limited to the ocean surface and cannot directly measure the subsurface information. Here we design a physics-informed algorithm that can reconstruct the vertical distributions of upper ocean temperature and salinity based purely on satellite observations. The algorithm stresses the tight ocean surface-subsurface coupling and the co-variability of ocean temperature and salinity. It is firstly tested with climate model simulations and then validated with actual observations by Argo floats, moored buoys and multiple ocean reanalysis datasets. The resultant satellite-based upper ocean temperature and salinity dataset has a global coverage, a high spatial resolution, and resolves ocean thermohaline structure from surface to 400 m. This dataset complements existing ocean subsurface products as an independent satellite-based observational dataset. The success of our reconstruction algorithm highlights a pressing need to maintain and advance the satellite observations of SST, SSS, and SSH. The reconstructed ocean temperature and salinity dataset can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13145129 (Liu, 2024) and be used by researchers to study mesoscale ocean phenomena, assess the ocean heat content in various sea areas and etc.

Abstract. The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 2.1 builds on E3SMv2 with several changes, the most notable being the addition of the Fox-Kemper et al. (2011) mixed layer eddy parameterization. This parameterization captures the effect of finite-amplitude, mixed layer eddies as an overturning streamfunction and has the primary function of restratification. Herein, we outline the changes to the mean climate state of E3SM that were introduced by the addition of this parameterization. Overall, the presence of the submesoscale parameterization improves the fidelity of the v2.1 simulation by reducing the North Atlantic ocean surface biases present in v2, as illustrated by changes to the climatological sea surface temperature and salinity, as well as Arctic sea-ice extent. Other impacts include a slight shoaling of the mixed layer depths in the North Atlantic, as well as a small improvement to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). We note that the expected shoaling due to the parameterization is regionally dependent in our coupled configuration. In addition, we investigate why the parameterization and its impacts on mixed layer depth have little impact on the simulated AMOC: despite increased dense water formation in the Norwegian Sea, only a small fraction of the water formed makes its way south into the North Atlantic basin. Version 2.1 also exhibits small improvements in the atmospheric climatology, with smaller biases in many notable quantities and modes of variability.

Authors: PV Abhilash , Dhungana Milan , Shetty Shreya
Published: August 2024

Background: Cervical proprioception and endurance are important elements to aid in injury prevention, support the functional movement, maintain proper posture, and promote overall health. Enhancing cervical proprioception and strengthening cervical muscles to enhance endurance can help to achieve better stability and mobility, thereby improving overall posture, physical performance, and health
Objective: This study aims to compare cervical proprioception and cervical flexor endurance in students with and without forward head posture.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-four healthy students aged 20 to 24 years participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups according to their CV angle. If the CV angle was more than 48, then those students were allocated to group A, i.e., neutral head posture (NHP) and if it was less than 48 then, the students were in group B, i.e., forward head posture (FHP). Cervical proprioception was assessed using the head repositioning accuracy test, and cervical muscle endurance was evaluated using the pressure biofeedback for cervical endurance.
Statistical Analysis: The Shapiro-Wilk test was conducted to assess the normality of the data from the cervical proprioception test and cervical muscle endurance. These data were summarized using mean and standard deviation and an Independent T-Test was used to compare proprioception and cervical muscle endurance.
Results: The mean value of cervical flexor endurance is higher in group A (142±15.5) when compared to group B (79±10.6) and cervical proprioception is lower in group A (4.7±1.16) when compared to group B (6.8±2.25). There is a significant difference between cervical proprioception (t== -2.9, p== 0.08) and cervical flexor endurance (t== 3.3, p== 0.03) in asymptomatic college students with and without FHP, indicating that individuals with forward heads have both lower endurance and lower proprioceptive accuracy than those without forward heads.
Conclusion: Cervical flexor endurance is comparatively higher in NHP and proprioceptive measurement is comparatively less in FHP indicating that NHP have better cervical head proprioception and endurance.

Genetic Diversity of Helicobacter pylori and its Impact on Disease Outcomes: Host and Environmental Perspectives
Authors: Kumar Navin
Published: August 2024

Host genetic susceptibility and lifestyle are pivotal factors that determine the incidence and clinical manifestation of persistent infections, including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). About 80% of H. pylori infected individuals remains asymptomatic throughout their life time, however, the rest of the infected individuals are associated with multiple clinical manifestations including ulcers, gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a specialized cancer research agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), has classified H. pylori as a class I carcinogen to humans. The onset and severity of diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori are dependent on a structured cascade of bacterial infection and the interplay of multiple host physiological processes and variables. Bacterial virulence factors, including the cag-Pathogenicity Island (cagPAI), VacA, and urease, are critical for the bacterium's ability to colonize and damage the gastric epithelium. Additionally, genetic variability among H. pylori strains contributes to differences in disease outcomes and responses to treatment. These factors, in combination, influence the clinical manifestation and progression of H. pylori-associated diseases. Considering both host genetic factors and environmental conditions, including diet, hygiene, and antibiotic use, significantly influences the progression and clinical manifestations of H. pylori infection. This holistic approach may enable the development of more personalized strategies for combating bacterial infections. This review article explores the multifaceted pathogenicity of H. pylori by examining the roles of bacterial virulence factors, genetic variability, and environmental influences.

Effect of Manual Pressure Release and Muscle Energy Technique for Treating Mechanical Neck Pain Due to Upper Trapezius Trigger Point - A Case Study
Authors: Suresh Babu Roshan Padmanabhan , PV Abhilash , Shamra Ahisha
Published: August 2024

Among all ages, neck discomfort is among the most prevalent and debilitating musculoskeletal problems; it affects 30% to 50% of the population every year, with women being more likely to experience it. Because of decreased muscular strength and limited range of motion in the neck, this disease causes the accessory neck muscles to contract more often, which in turn makes repetitive motions involving the upper limbs more painful. Small, nodular tight bands called "trigger points" may develop in the neck muscles as a result of physical deconditioning, inactivity, and repeated strain. Problems with the upper body's muscles and joints are made worse by these trigger points. “This research aims to determine if mechanical neck discomfort caused by trigger points in the upper trapezius may be effectively treated using muscle energy method and manual pressure release. After two weeks of therapy, patients' pain levels and functional capacities were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI). This research found that individuals experiencing neck discomfort from trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle responded well to a combination of manual pressure release and muscle energy method.”

Green Alchemy: Mechanisms of Cyanobacterial Photoprotection in the Spotlight
Authors: D Mutthuraj , R Prathima , Aherka Kshitija
Published: August 2024

Cyanobacteria, ancient photosynthetic microorganisms, have perfected an intricate defense system against harsh ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and environmental stressors. Their primary defense deploys pigments like chlorophyll-a and carotenoids to absorb and dissipate excess energy, shielding vital cellular structures. Secondary defense strategies introduce non-enzymatic antioxidants like ascorbate and carotenoids, fortifying cyanobacteria against reactive oxygen species triggered by UVR exposure. Moving further, tertiary photoprotection utilizes UV-absorbing compounds, such as scytonemin and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), creating an extra shield against UVR's relentless onslaught during prolonged exposure. Beyond that, quaternary photoprotection engages DNA repair mechanisms through photolyases (PLs), which, activated by blue light, mend DNA lesions caused by UVR. The story takes an intriguing twist with cyanobacteria's responses to UVR-induced stress, including programmed cell death (PCD). Caspase-like protease activity and metacaspases (MCAs) suggest a fine balance between cell death and survival. In conclusion, this comprehensive odyssey through cyanobacterial photoprotection mechanisms unveils the adaptability and resilience that cyanobacteria have meticulously honed over millions of years. These ancient microorganisms continue to inspire awe as they thrive in a diverse range of ecosystems, shedding light on the enduring marvels of life's adaptability and ingenuity. “Green Alchemy: Mechanisms of Cyanobacterial Photoprotection in the Spotlight” illuminates the intricate strategies that cyanobacteria have honed over millions of years, offering a glimpse into the resilience and adaptability of these remarkable microorganisms.

Results show that students at Tolotolo National High School predominantly prefer auditory learning. However, the study found no significant correlation between auditory learning and mathematical performance. Interestingly, a significant relationship was found between kinesthetic learning styles and higher academic achievement in Mathematics with a significance score of 0.001. These findings suggest that while auditory learning is prevalent, kinesthetic learning plays a role in academic success. These insights contribute to developing effective teaching strategies and styles that encourage students to become more successful academically.

Government procurement is a typical representative of administrative organs participating in the operation of market economy. Sometimes in order to achieve special policy objectives or power rent-seeking, the purchaser may inevitably touch the defense line of fair competition in the process of continuous integration with the market, and administrative monopoly in the field of government procurement arises.
Administrative monopoly has always been a stubborn disease in the process of anti-monopoly law enforcement in China, As early as the promulgation of the Government Procurement Law in 2002, the legislator has negated the restrictive competition conducts such as restricting non-local operators from entering the local market and setting discriminatory conditions in procurement activities by means of prohibitive norms. Anti-Monopoly Law, which was subsequently promulgated, also included these conducts. In recent years, with the construction of the fair competition review system and the implementation of the policy of optimizing the business environment, the administrative monopoly in the field of government procurement has attracted attention again. Regulations for the Implementation of the Tendering and Bidding Law which was subsequently promulgated, the Interim Provisions on the Prevention of the Abuse of Administrative Power to Exclude and restrict competition conducts, Administrative Measures on Government Purchase of Services which was promulgated in 2020 all regard this issue as a regulatory focus, which shows its seriousness. This shows the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, it can be concluded that the legal regulation of administrative monopoly in the field of government procurement is a key issue in theoretical research and law enforcement practice.
Starting from the particularity of administrative monopoly in the field of government procurement, this paper analyzes its regulation difficulties in the application of law, fair competition review and accountability, so as to maintain the order of fair competition in the market Put forward specific regulatory suggestions for the purpose of implementing anti monopoly law enforcement. In the future, the development of legal regulations for administrative monopoly in the field of government procurement will not only ensure that government procurement meets government needs, but also promote healthy competition in the market.

The global burden of cardiometabolic renal disease is increasing, particularly in underserved communities. Twinepidemic Inc.’s Galvanize Healthy Living program conducts community screenings, risk assessments, and educational interventions globally. We screened 1209 subjects for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, assessing their disease knowledge and self-confidence. Mean age was 50, with 65% females and 35% males. Imaging post-risk assessment revealed abnormalities: EKG (16%), echocardiogram (10%), carotid plaque (9%), ABI (2.5%), and eye exam (3.6%, including 8 retinopathies, 14 cataracts). New onset DM was found in 8%, prediabetes in 18.5%, High LDL in 4.2%, low HDL in 40.2%, high triglycerides in 13.1%, and abnormal BP in 38%. In addition, 18.2% were reclassified to a higher category of risk levels after imaging. Significant improvements in knowledge and self-empowerment (all p < 0.001) were seen after educational interventions. This study underscores early risk assessment’s potential to enhance health outcomes globally for underserved populations, validating POC imaging and emphasizing the role of accessible care and education in patient engagement and empowerment.

Anjiosarkomlar endotel hücrelerden köken alan agresif, malign tümörlerdir. Memede
primer ve sekonder olarak ortaya çıkan bu tümörler meme malignitelerinin
%1’inden daha azını oluşturur. Risk faktörleri arasında en sık radyoterapi ve kronik
lenf ödem yer almaktadır. Sıklıkla lokal nüks ve metastaz yapma eğilimde olan
bu tümörlerde sağkalım oldukça düşüktür. Nadir görülmesi sebebiyle bu hastalığın
standart bir tedavi rejimi yoktur. Tedavisinde cerrahi, kemoterapi ve radyoterapi yer
almaktadır. Sıklıkla diğer deri lezyonları ile karıştığı için geç tanı konulmaktadır.
Memede radyoterapi öyküsü olan hastalarda yeni gelişen şüpheli lezyonlar için anjiosarkom

Inventory management of raw materials is a significant form of control that profoundly influences the production process. Surplus or shortage of raw materials can potentially hinder production processes. One of the methods used in analyzing raw material inventory is the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method in tofu home industries in Aceh Tamiang. The EOQ method is employed to optimize the order quantity and inventory costs, considering holding and  ordering costs. This research also analyzes safety stock, reorder point, total inventory cost, and just-in-time principles applied to produce goods according to consumer demand. The results of this study indicate that in 2023, the tofu home industry made raw material purchases when inventory levels reached a point of 515.45 kg. The company's lead time for raw material ordering is 2 days, with a calculated safety stock of soybeans amounting to 219.45 kg. Significant cost savings were achieved, as evidenced by a total cost calculation of Rp. 556,866, which is much lower than the total inventory cost of Rp. 1,716,880. By implementing EOQ, tofu home industries can enhance operational efficiency and optimize resource utilization. The practical implication of this research is that the use of the EOQ method can contribute to improving profitability and sustaining tofu home industries in Aceh Tamiang.

This study aims to compare the parenting patterns of single and full parents and their impact on child behavior in Sementara, Pantai Cermin Sub-district, Serdang Bedagai Regency, Indonesia. Parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and future. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, the home environment, especially parental parenting, has the greatest influence on child development. This study focuses on three parenting styles: authoritarian, democratic, and permissive. Authoritarian parenting is characterized by strict rules and limited freedom, while democratic parenting prioritizes the child's interests and involves discussions between parents and children. Permissive parenting provides loose supervision and unrestricted freedom for children to behave and act as they wish. Previous studies have shown that single mothers tend to apply authoritarian parenting, resulting in spoiled children with difficulty interacting, while single fathers tend to apply permissive parenting, leading to more independent children who are easier to make friends. Additionally, authoritarian, democratic, and permissive parenting styles have been associated with aggressive behavior in children, obtained through social learning. Democratic parenting has been found to increase children's motivation and achievement at school, while authoritarian parenting inhibits children's socialization skills. This study provides important insights into the impact of parenting patterns on child behavior in the context of single and full parents in Sementara, Indonesia.
