Privacy-Enhancing Data Aggregation for Big Data Analytics
Authors: Riyana Surapon , Sasujit Kittikorn , Homdoung Nigran
Published: October 2023

Data utility and data privacy are serious issues that must be considered when datasets are utilized in big data analytics such that they are traded off. That is, the datasets have high data utility and often have high risks in terms of privacy violation issues. To balance the data utility and the data privacy in datasets when they are provided to utilize in big data analytics, several privacy preservation models have been proposed, e.g., k-Anonymity, l-Diversity, t-Closeness, Anatomy, k-Likeness, and (lp1, . . . , lpn)-Privacy. Unfortunately, these privacy preservation models are highly complex data models and still have data utility issues that must be addressed. To rid these vulnerabilities of these models, a new privacy preservation model is proposed in this work. It is based on aggregate query answers that can guarantee the confidence of the range and the number of values that can be re-identified. Furthermore, we show that the proposed model is more effcient and effective in big data analytics by using extensive experiments.

Authors: Tou Nurhaeka , Endraswari Putri Mentari , Annisa Nur
Published: October 2023

Corn is the second type of food after rice. However, currently, the level of corn productivity is experiencing problems, with pests and corn diseases. The process of controlling these pests and diseases, if not handled as early as possible, will result in crop failure for corn farmers. Identifying the types of pests and diseases that attack corn plants, is carried out by experts in the field of agriculture, but this process requires quite a long time. Therefore, we need a system that can help farmers diagnose diseases in corn plants, so that the control process can be carried out optimally, quickly and on target. This study aims to build an expert system to identify diseases in corn plants by implementing the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) method. CBR is a reasoning method on a computer that utilizes old cases to solve new cases. The process of identifying the type of disease with the CBR method is carried out by the user inputting the symptoms experienced by the corn plant into the system, then the system calculates the value of similarity between new cases and old cases using the nearest neighbor method. The system is made with 17 diseases and 56 symptoms, each symptom has a weight. Based on the test results, shows that the system can identify the types of diseases in corn plants following the rule of 100% with a similarity accuracy rate of 75.00%.

Recent Trends Concerning the Issue of ‘Buddhism and Practice’ in Contemporary Japan
Authors: Kigoshi Yasushi
Published: October 2023

When discussing Buddhism in practice, we should first note that the word practice has a multilayered meaning in Buddhism. For the purposes of this paper, I would like to simplify things considerably, and divide those multiple meanings into two groups. The first involves the training of one’s mind and body. By engaging in such training, the practitioner is said to draw closer to Buddhist enlightenment. This practice takes various forms depending on the time and place, such as observing the precepts or engaging in meditation, and is referred to as ‘benefiting the self’ (jiri 自利). Second, there is the practice that consists of Buddhists’ activities vis-à-vis society. Even Buddhists, whose fundamental orientation is towards leaving the secular world (shusseken 出世間), have engaged in activities in society that have taken a variety of forms. There are records of Śākyamuni having given various pieces of advice to rulers during ancient times. We also find many records of later Buddhists engaging in missionary and charitable activities. This is referred to as ‘benefiting others’ (rita 利他). In particular, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the inseparability of ‘benefiting the self’ and ‘benefiting others.’ Although Buddhist practice is traditionally divided into two categories: self-interest and altruism, it would not be true to say, in fact, that "benefiting others" has always been as much of a primary concern as "benefiting the self." Rather, it can be said that concern for others has always been a weakness of Buddhism, overshadowed by concerns with ‘benefiting the self.’ Thus, Mahayana Buddhism's emphasis on the importance of benefiting others, on the contrary, could be said to imply that this was a weakness of the Buddhism at the time of the Mahayana arose. My paper focuses on recent developments surrounding Buddhism and its practice in contemporary Japan, particularly the element of ‘benefiting others.’ The question of how Buddhists should contribute to society has continually and repeatedly appeared from the origins of Mahayana Buddhism to the present. Against this backdrop, an event occurred in Japan in recent years that marked a major turning point in the issue of Buddhist contributions to society. That event is the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. In this paper, I consider the issue of ‘benefiting others’ in Buddhism in light of the effects of the tragic earthquake disaster.
TEACHING WHOLENESS IN ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION: ADVANCING CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDER’S TEACHING LEGACY THROUGH THE BUILDING BEAUTY PROGRAM
Authors: Ingham Susan , Ettlinger Or
Published: October 2023

Architect, builder, and professor Christopher Alexander focused his life’s work on trying to understand what makes the physical environment beautiful, and how beautiful environments can be created today. Through careful research, innovative teaching, and unorthodox professional practice, Alexander formulated a unified vision of the physical environment based on a theory of “wholeness.” He observed that achieving beauty and wholeness in the built environment – as well as teaching it – requires the integration of processes and considerations that are usually kept separate: integrating form and function, integrating teaching and practice, integrating design and construction, integrating projects of various scales, and integrating all of these within the ongoing search for how beauty and wholeness might be reached, taught, and proliferated. Alexander explored and developed ways of implementing these observations throughout his decades of teaching at the University of California at Berkeley, culminating in the Building Process Area of Emphasis, which he founded with his colleagues in 1990. His former students from this period, together with new partners, established “Building Beauty” in 2017, a post-graduate program in architecture that continues to teach and expand upon Alexander’s theories and methods of generating beauty and wholeness in the physical environment.
Le Saint-Siège dans les dynamiques de la Guerre froide
Authors: Chenaux Philippe
Published: October 2023

L’article dresse le bilan des travaux sur la diplomatie vaticane dans les débuts de la Guerre froide. Il montre, d’une part, que la position du Saint-Siège dans le conflit Est-Ouest a évolué entre 1947 et 1958 : contraint, dans un premier temps, d’épouser la cause de l’Occident au nom de la défense de la civilisation chrétienne, le Vatican de Pie XII cherche, surtout à partir de 1951-1952, à retrouver une forme d’équidistance entre les deux blocs plus conforme à la politique d’impartialité suivie pendant les deux guerres mondiales. Il souligne, d’autre part, l’existence de lignes stratégiques concurrentes au sein de la Curie : une ligne atlantiste et résolument anticommuniste (celle des cardinaux du Pentagone Vatican) ; une ligne idéaliste ou tendanciellement neutraliste (autour de Mgr Montini, le futur Paul VI) ; une ligne réaliste ou possibiliste (celle de la première section de la secrétairerie d’État).

Guerre hybride dans le domaine maritime : vers une réponse plus offensive
Authors: Muller Alexis
Published: October 2023

Les activités chinoises en mer de Chine méridionale, les actions iraniennes dans le golfe Persique, les débordements de puissance turcs en Méditerranée orientale et les derniers incidents en mer Baltique présentent les caractéristiques d’une guerre hybride maritime. Face à ces perturbations stratégiques à très haute valeur ajoutée, il est temps pour la Marine française de réfléchir à ces scénarios et à la manière de les contrer de façon plus offensive : « COIN » (contre-insurrection) maritime, « Lawfare » , emploi de l’hybridité à notre avantage… L’hybridation de la menace en mer conduit à réconcilier une marine mahanienne, orientée vers l’affrontement décisif, avec celle proposée par la Jeune École en comptant sur la mise en réseau des unités.
Quel rôle pour l’État face aux enjeux de financement de la Base industrielle et technologique de défense (BITD) ?
Authors: Burin des Roziers Jacqueline
Published: October 2023

Le contexte stratégique avec la perspective de conflits de haute intensité implique une mutation de notre outil de défense. Ce passage à une « économie de guerre » nécessite des investissements pour faire évoluer nos outils de production ou améliorer notre résilience, constituer des stocks d’approvisionnements, réinternaliser en France certaines activités, maintenir un niveau d’innovation élevé, mais aussi accompagner des prospects export. Cependant, faute principalement d’une image favorable, l’industrie de défense souffre d’une difficulté d’accès aux financements privés. Face à cette situation, l’État « keynésien » doit utiliser les leviers que lui permettent ses différents rôles de client, d’investisseur, de régulateur et de stratège pour favoriser et accompagner les évolutions nécessaires.
Frappe dans la profondeur terrestre : quel rôle dans les opérations futures françaises ?
Authors: Spet Stéphane
Published: October 2023

La frappe dans la profondeur consiste en une action cinétique ou non qui s’intègre pleinement dans la conflictualité moderne, est réalisée avec un armement conventionnel et produit soit des effets de niveau stratégique en visant les points décisifs et les centres de gravité, soit des effets de niveau opératif ou tactique en neutralisant voire détruisant la cohérence du dispositif adverse. Conduite au-delà de la zone d’influence terrestre, elle s’inscrit dans un système C4ISR cohérent et pourrait, en France, s’appuyer sur un mixte capacitaire à base de quelques missiles hypersoniques, de dizaines de missiles supersoniques, de centaines de missiles subsoniques low cost et surtout de plusieurs milliers de munitions téléopérées et planantes.
La reconstitution des forces terrestres ukrainiennes et leur contribution à la reconstruction de l’Ukraine
Authors: Duke Carsten
Published: October 2023

La tyrannie de l’immédiateté fait que la fourniture d’équipements et de ressources militaires aux forces ukrainiennes occupe actuellement l’essentiel des réflexions politiques de l’Otan et de l’UE. Si la nécessité d’aborder la question de la reconstruction de l’Ukraine est largement reconnue, peu de détails transparaissent à ce jour. Au-delà des questions sur la reconstitution, modernisation, et éventuel volume des forces ukrainiennes d’après-guerre, il est important de prendre en compte le rôle que l’armée pourrait jouer dans la reconstruction générale du pays.
La Revue nationale stratégique 2022 sous un prisme belge
Authors: Dolpire Laurent
Published: October 2023

Confrontées au même environnement géopolitique en pleine mutation, la France et la Belgique mettent à jour leur vision stratégique respectivement avec la RNS et le Plan STAR , dans la continuité des documents stratégiques de l’Union européenne et de l’Otan. Pour autant, les deux pays y apportent une réponse singulière. La France tend à confirmer son rang sur la scène internationale par une approche ambitieuse et à dimension stratégique. La Belgique vise à reconstruire un outil militaire par une approche pragmatique et à dimension opérationnelle. Les politiques de défense et de sécurité sont pourtant complémentaires et sûrement une opportunité pour l’Europe.
La guerre des V.

Le 17 janvier 1941, Victor de Laveleye, speaker belge de la BBC, enjoint ses compatriotes à inscrire en tout lieu, en symbole de défiance à l’occupant, la lettre V : le V de la Victoire, le V de Vrijheid (la liberté) en flamand. Les graffitis du V de la victoire ne tardent pas à proliférer sur les murs des nations européennes occupées, mais également en Grande-Bretagne, où à l’été 1941, la BBC encourage les Britanniques à rejoindre l’« armée des V ». À partir des notes de terrain du collectif d’enquête du Mass-Observation, l’article explore ce cas rare de « graffiti encouragé », politique sans pour autant être subversif – du moins dans la Grande-Bretagne épargnée par l’occupation, comme ne cessent de le rappeler les contemporains.

Published: October 2023

Dyslexia and dysgraphia are two common learning disabilities that affect children's ability to read, write, and spell accurately. These disabilities can significantly impede a child's academic performance, leading to lack of self-confidence, anxiety, and frustration. Traditional approaches to address these disabilities often involve one-on-one sessions with a tutor or special education teacher, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Artificial intelligence (AI) language learning models have shown tremendous potential in assisting children with dyslexia and dysgraphia. These models can provide real-time feedback and personalized instruction to help children overcome learning difficulties. This chapter highlights the importance of addressing these challenges and proposes a solution that leverages AI language learning models to assist children with dyslexia and dysgraphia. By embracing AI language learning models, educators and parents can empower children with dyslexia and dysgraphia, providing them with the necessary tools and support to overcome their learning challenges.
Blockchain Technology and Corporate Default Risk
Authors: Sun Yanyang , Zhu Xinyu , Wu Wenruo , Yang Kai
Published: October 2023

Blockchain technology is a prominent technological innovation and firms increasingly engage in the initiatives. But blockchain technology is still in its early stage and a thorough understanding of its financial values remains elusive. By employing a large sample of public firms listed in China market, this study aims to estimate the impact of blockchain initiatives on firm default risk. Using an instrumental variable and Heckman two-stage, these results reveal a strong and negative association between blockchain initiatives and firm default risk by model. The authors further empirically demonstrate three underlying economic mechanisms. Specifically, they find that blockchain technology has the potential to enhance trust between firms and stakeholders in the supply chain, optimize business processes, and improve the information disclosure quality, which are beneficial to lower corporate financing cost or improve operation performance.
Impact of Motorized Tea Harvesters on Tea Yield and Yield Determining Parameters
Authors: Pathiranage S. R. W. , Wijeratne M. A. , De Costa W. A. J. M.
Published: October 2023

Motorized tea harvesters vary in shoot cutting & collecting mechanisms and reported considerable yield decline in Sri Lanka. In this study, three non-selective harvesters were used to evaluate the impacts of different cutting & collecting mechanisms on tea yield-determining parameters compared to manual harvesting (control). The machines used were battery-operated Forbes & Walker harvester with helically arranged picking arms (BatFW), battery-operated Kawasaki harvester with reciprocating blades (BatKW), and petrol-driven Kawasaki harvester with reciprocating blades (PetKW). Tea yield, coarse leaf content, operational time, shoot compositions, branch girthing, and root starch content were recorded for one year. The motorized harvesters reduced tea yield by nearly 50% compared to the control. The number of machines required (units/ha/day) were 6, 4 and 2 for BatFW, BatKW and PetKW, respectively, as compared to eight manual pluckers and the corresponding land extents covered were 0.17, 0.25 and 0.47 (ha/unit/day), as against 0.13 in manual. Manual harvesting and BatFW consumed comparable higher worker requirements than the others. The average shoot weight and shoot density were the least affected by BatFW. The highest immature (arimbu) shoot removal was by PetKW. The highest dormant shoot accumulation in the plucking table was by BatFW. Reciprocating blades harvested more productively (700 g/cm/day) than picking arms (500 g/cm/day). All machines affected branch girthing and root starch reserves compared to manual harvesting. The mechanical impacts on yield determining parameters viz., immature shoot removal, accumulated dormant shoots, affected yield components, poor branch development, and depleted root starch reserves collectively resulted the tea yield reduction.

Bean rust is one of the major diseases of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) reported in Sri Lanka and at the global level. This study aimed to develop rust-resistant snap bean breeding lines via gene pyramiding assisted by molecular markers. Resistant sources; PI 181996, BelMiNeb-RMR-8, and BelDakMi-RMR-19, enriched with the rust-resistant genes Ur-3 and Ur-11, were selected as donor parents to obtain a wide range of resistance to the rust pathogen. Resistant genotypes were crossed with popular local varieties Kappetipola nil and Galpalama Kalu (Capri) to introgress Ur-3 and Ur-11 resistant genes. Successive F1, F2, and BC (backcross) generations were obtained with the self-pollination and backcrossing processes. Standard phenotypic disease screening methods were applied to identify resistant lines. Phenotypically resistant plants obtained from these crosses were tested with sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers linked to two rust-resistant genes: SK 14 (linked to Ur-3) and SI 19 (linked to Ur-11). Molecular marker SI-19 showed higher reproducibility (50% to 80%) with the availability of relevant banding patterns for phenotypically resistant F1, F2, and BC1 progenies. However, SK 14 showed lower reproducibility (30–60%) for the same progenies. Approximately 450 genotypes introgressed with rust-resistant genes (Ur-3 and Ur-11)were produced. Among them, four advanced resistant lines obtained from the different cross combinations (Kappetipola nil x BelDakMi-RMR-19, Galpalama Kalu x BelMiNeb RMR-8, Kappetipola nil x PI 181996, and Kappetipola nil x BelMiNeb RMR-8) with preferred agronomic characters were selected for further variety development.

Authors: Díaz Fabián E , McGill Jodi L
Published: October 2023

The human orthopneumovirus (human respiratory syncytial virus [RSV]) is a leading cause of respiratory disease in children worldwide and a significant cause of infant mortality in low- and middle-income countries. The natural immune response to the virus has a preponderant role in disease progression, with a rapid neutrophil infiltration and dysbalanced T cell response in the lungs associated with severe disease in infants. The development of preventive interventions against human RSV has been difficult partly due to the need to use animal models that only partially recapitulate the immune response as well as the disease progression seen in human infants. In this brief review, we discuss the contributions of the calf model of RSV infection to understanding immunity to RSV and in developing vaccine and drug candidates, focusing on recent research areas. We propose that the bovine model of RSV infection is a valuable alternative for assessing the translational potential of interventions aimed at the human population.
Infection Dynamics, Pathogenesis, and Immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in Naturally Susceptible Animal Species
Authors: Nooruzzaman Mohammed , Diel Diego G
Published: October 2023

SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, presents a broad host range. Domestic cats and white-tailed deer (WTD) are particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 with multiple variant strains being associated with infections in these species. The virus replicates in the upper respiratory tract and in associated lymphoid tissues, and it is shed through oral and nasal secretions, which leads to efficient transmission of the virus to contact animals. Robust cell-mediated and humoral immune responses are induced upon infection in domestic cats, which curb the progression of clinical disease and are associated with control of infection. In WTD, high levels of neutralizing Abs are detected early upon infection. In this review, the current understanding of the infection dynamics, pathogenesis, and immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection in animals, with special focus on naturally susceptible felids and WTD, are discussed.
Manipulation of the Multi-Vehicle System for the Industrial Applications
Authors: Vincent Lourve
Published: October 2023

This approach should indicate some challenges in routing and scheduling for the multi-vehicle system. The proposed method delivers a novel method to generate the free-collision trajectory as well as optimal route from starting point to destination. The estimated time at one node and the classification of load level support vehicle to decide which proper route is and stable movement is reached. From these results, it could be observed that the proposed approach is feasible and effective for many applications. The proposed method for routing and scheduling might be useful in the multi-vehicle system. In the large scale system, some intelligent schemes should be considered to integrate.
Hyperuricemia and Gout: The Role of Losartan
Authors: Saad Maha
Published: October 2023

Losartan is the only angiotensin II receptor blocker that has shown to significantly lower uric acid levels. The addition of or switch to losartan as an antihypertensive agent for patients with gout is recommended by clinical guidelines because of its benefit as a uricosuric agent.
Tensor algebras of subproduct systems and noncommutative function theory
Authors: Hartz Michael , Shalit Orr Moshe
Published: October 2023

We revisit tensor algebras of subproduct systems with Hilbert space fibers, resolving some open questions in the case of infinite-dimensional fibers. We characterize when a tensor algebra can be identified as the algebra of uniformly continuous noncommutative functions on a noncommutative homogeneous variety or, equivalently, when it is residually finite-dimensional: this happens precisely when the closed homogeneous ideal associated with the subproduct system satisfies a Nullstellensatz with respect to the algebra of uniformly continuous noncommutative functions on the noncommutative closed unit ball. We show that – in contrast to the finite-dimensional case – in the case of infinite-dimensional fibers, this Nullstellensatz may fail. Finally, we also resolve the isomorphism problem for tensor algebras of subproduct systems: two such tensor algebras are (isometrically) isomorphic if and only if their subproduct systems are isomorphic in an appropriate sense.
Smooth DG algebras and twisted tensor product
Authors: Orlov Dmitri Olegovich
Published: October 2023

The twisted tensor product of DG algebras is studied and sufficient conditions for smoothness of such a product are presented. It is shown that in the case of finite-dimensional DG algebras, applying this operation offers great possibilities for constructing new examples of smooth DG algebras and algebras. In particular, examples are given of families of algebras of finite global dimension with two simple modules that have non-trivial moduli spaces.

A 3.5-year-old male child from Maharashtra, India, presented with features of meningoencephalitis approximately 1 month after sustaining severe bite injuries on the right hand from a stray dog. He had received four doses of post-exposure intradermal rabies vaccination (on days 0, 3, and 7 of the bite and erroneously on day 20, instead of day 28 as recommended in the updated Thai Red Cross regimen) as well as local and systemic injections of equine rabies immune globulin. The child was initially diagnosed with and treated for acute encephalitis syndrome before rabies encephalitis was confirmed by detection of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid. During the emergent period, he also received the antimalarial drug artesunate, recently reported to have antiviral effects against rabies virus. With intensive and supportive care, the child showed substantial clinical improvement over the next few weeks. He has now survived for more than 10 months after disease onset, albeit with severe neurological sequelae including diffuse cerebral and cerebellar atrophy.
Energy Losses Analysis and Efficiency Enhancement of Dual-Belt
Continuously Variable Transmission with Two Electromechanical
Actuators
Authors: Mohamed Eid dyab
Published: October 2023

The continuously variable transmission (CVT) for automotive applications can
better the transmission of power and fuel economy, a steel-belt design and
clamping force for power transmission are under development by many researchers
to increase the efficiency of a CVT and decrease the actuator power. The present
work assesses the transmission efficiency with two electromechanical actuators
system (TEMA) to modify the clamping force and DBCVT speed reduction ratio. The
model is designed based on DBCVT simulation with TEMA package to evaluate the
DBCVT component energy losses, transmission efficiency, and energy consumed by
TEMA. According to the results, the TEMA effectiveness of the suggested DBCVT
has a higher efficiency and improve energy losses than a single-belt CVT (SBCVT)
but the average energy consumed by an actuator for SBCVT was lower than that of
the TEMA with DBCVT throughout the new European drive cycle (NEDC). The average
peak of the transmission energy losses of DBCVT is improved by 9.7% and 29%
during UDC and EUDC, respectively, and the proposed DBCVT efficiency was
increased by approximately (4.6% to 8.9%) compared to SBCVT during NEDC.
