Published: December 2023

Introduction and relevance: Penetrating neck trauma results in a 10% mortality rate for patients and management can be challenging, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach.Methods: This is a case report of a 33-year-old male patient who received a neck gunshot through the oral cavity during close combat on the south front of the Ukrainian-Russian war in January 2023.Clinical discussion: A CT scan revealed a foreign body in the neck on the right side, between the mastoid process and the right jaw angle. A CT scan with contrast revealed a foreign body in the neck – a bullet – and helped with observing relations to surrounding tissues and following the bullet’s trajectory. The multidisciplinary team performed surgery for foreign body removal. As a first step, carotid arteries and the internal jugular vein were dissected and looped to control potential bleeding. The bullet was 7.62 caliber. The patient recovered well with minimal postoperative complications, including hypoglossal and facial nerve neuropathy, which resolved in two weeks.Conclusion: The proximity gunshot resulted in unexpectedly moderate tissue injury, but regardless of the relatively low destruction of palate tissue, the location of the foreign body near carotid arteries made the surgery approach challenging.
Scouting for Girls
Authors: Proctor Tammy M.
Published: December 2023

This volume examines scouting—the largest voluntary movement for girls—in its first century of existence, seeking to understand how the organization has lasted and how it has changed.

Scouting for Girls: A Century of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is the first global history of Girl Scouting and Guiding that addresses the successes and pitfalls of the 100-year-old organization from its beginning in Great Britain through its international expansion. Since 1910, millions of girls worldwide have been exposed to Scouting. While much has changed since 1910, the core values of Scouting/Guiding are still recognizable in today's programs, namely the empowerment of girls through adventure, character-building, home skills, outdoor pursuits, and active learning. But has Scouting's very willingness to change with the times undermined its original ideologies and fundamentally changed the movement?

As Girl Scouts and Guides move into their second century, their challenge will be to remain true to their founding values while remaking themselves on a regular basis. Given the changing nature of today's societies and the serious problems girls face on a daily basis, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts will need to be true to their motto, "Be Prepared," in order to march forward successfully into the future.
Secret Audio and Video Recording as a Criminal Offense and Exceptions From Illegality: Standards, Practice and “Strasbourg” Standards
Authors: Trlin Davor , Čolić Mila
Published: December 2023

The criminal legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina contains an impressive number of criminal offenses, among which is the illegal making of secret audio and video recordings, which has recently attracted a lot of public attention. In this paper, we will try to answer the question of whether it is sometimes permissible to make secret audio and video recordings, and if the answer is yes when it is possible. We will seek an answer to that question with the help of research methods of the normative framework, domestic judicial practice, comparative judicial practice, and the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and its public interest construct. We will also present several decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and regular courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina so that we can conclude whether and to what extent the "Strasbourg" standards are respected in the application of the law by the domestic judiciary. We will also compare normative solutions from Bosnia and Herzegovina with the same or similar ones from neighboring countries, specifically the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, which inherit the same, Yugoslav legal system, and like Bosnia and Herzegovina are passing (Republic of Serbia) or have largely passed (Republic Croatia) process of harmonizing national legislation with the law of the European Union and the law of the Council of Europe.

Abstract. In this study, a Mie theory-based model was built to predict the vertical profile of the aerosol optical properties, including the aerosol scattering coefficient, backscatter coefficient, extinction coefficient, and lidar ratio. The model utilizes ground-based in-situ measurements of the aerosol chemical composition and particle size distribution, as well as the meteorological data from the Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) as input values. These are all parameters readily obtained for ACTRIS sites and the aim of this study was to investigate their suitability for generating representative estimates of the lidar ratio, and then further improve the lidar retrievals by utilizing these estimates. The measurements were performed during the Ruisdael land-atmosphere interactions Intensive Trace-gas and Aerosol (RITA) campaign in the Netherlands in 2021. The calculated dry aerosol optical properties were validated against a Nephelometer with good agreements (R2 ≈ 0.9). The predicted ambient vertical profiles of aerosol optical properties were compared to retrievals by a multi-wavelength Raman lidar. Predicted and retrieved backscatter coefficients were usually comparable under conditions of a well-mixed boundary layer. The extinction coefficients and lidar ratios were retrieved by the Raman lidar only at a height above 800 m. The estimated lidar ratio profiles based on in-situ data connected reasonably well to the lidar profiles within the boundary layer, with differences on average ± 30 %. Our study shows that for well-mixed boundary layers, a representative lidar ratio can be estimated based on ground-based in-situ measurements of dry size distribution and chemical composition taking into account the hygroscopic growth and ambient humidity. This allows to extend extinction profiles to lower altitudes, where they cannot be retrieved, or for use with simple elastic backscatter lidar to derive extinction profiles. The proposed method could be further applied to predict aerosol optical depth and also might be beneficial for large-scale or global radiation simulations.
Limited effect of the confluence angle and tributary gradient on Alpine confluence morphodynamics under intense sediment loads
Authors: St. Pierre Ostrander Theo , Kraus Thomé , Mazzorana Bruno , Holzner Johannes , Andreoli Andrea , Comiti Francesco , Gems Bernhard
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Confluences are dynamic morphological nodes in all river networks. In mountain regions, they are influenced by hydraulic and sedimentary processes occurring in steep channels during extreme events in small watersheds. Sediment transport in the tributary channel and aggradation in the confluence can be massive, potentially causing overbank flooding and sedimentation into adjacent settlement areas. Previous works dealing with confluences have been mainly focused on lowland regions, or if focused on mountain areas, the sediment concentrations and channel gradients were largely under-representative of mountain river conditions. The presented work contributes to filling this research gap with 45 experiments using a large-scale physical model. Geometric model parameters, applied grain size distribution, and the considered discharges represent the conditions at 135 confluences in South Tyrol (Italy) and Tyrol (Austria). The experimental program allowed for a comprehensive analysis of the effects of (i) the confluence angle, (ii) the tributary gradient, (iii) the channel discharges, and (iv) the tributary sediment concentration. Results indicate, in contrast to most research dealing with confluences, that in the presence of intense tributary sediment supply and a small tributary to main channel discharge ratio (0.1), the confluence angle does not have a decisive effect on confluence morphology. Adjustments to the tributary channel gradient yielded the same results. A reoccurring range of depositional geomorphic units was observed where a deposition cone transitioned to a bank-attached bar. The confluence morphology and tributary channel gradient rapidly adjusted, tending towards an equilibrium state to accommodate both water discharges and the sediment load from the tributary. Statistical analyses demonstrated that confluence morphology was controlled by the combined channel discharge and the depositional or erosional extents by the sediment concentration. Applying the conclusions drawn from lowland confluence dynamics could misrepresent depositional and erosional patterns and the related flood hazard at mountain river confluences.
Layer-optimized SAR processing with a mobile phase-sensitive radar for detecting the deep englacial stratigraphy of Colle Gnifetti, Switzerland/Italy

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Radio-echo sounding is a standard technique for imaging the englacial stratigraphy of glaciers and ice sheets. In most cases, internal reflection horizons (IRHs) represent former glacier surfaces and comprise information about past accumulation, ice deformation and allow to link ice core chronologies. IRHs in the lower third of the ice column are often difficult to detect or coherently trace. In the polar ice sheets, progress in IRH detection has been made by using multistatic, phase-coherent radars, enabling synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) processing. However, these radar systems are often not suitable for deployment on mountain glaciers. We present a proof-of-concept study for a lightweight, phase-coherent, and ground-based radar system, based on the phase-sensitive radio echo-sounder (pRES). To improve the detectability of IRHs we additionally adapted a layer-optimized SAR (LO-SAR) processing scheme to this setup. We showcase the system capability at Colle Gnifetti, Switzerland/Italy, and detect significantly deeper and older IRHs compared to previously deployed pulsed radar systems. Continuous IRHs are now apparent down to the base of the glacier. Corresponding reflection mechanisms for this glacier are linked to a stratified acidic impurity which was deposited at a higher rate due to increased industrial activity in the area. Possible improvements of the system are discussed. If successfully implemented, these may provide a new way to map the deep internal structure of Colle Gnifetti and other mountain glaciers more extensively in future deployments.
Life cycle dynamics of Greenland blocking from a potential vorticity perspective

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Blocking over Greenland has substantial impacts on surface weather in particular over Europe and North America, and can increase melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Climate models notoriously underestimate the frequency of blocking over Greenland in historical periods, but the reasons for this are not entirely clear, as we are still lacking a full dynamical understanding of Greenland blocking from formation through maintenance to decay. This study investigates the dynamics of blocking life cycles over Greenland based on ERA5 reanalysis data from 1979–2021. A year-round weather regime definition allows us to identify Greenland blocking as consistent life cycles with an objective onset, maximum, and decay stage. By applying a new quasi-Lagrangian potential vorticity (PV) perspective, following the negative, upper-tropospheric PV anomalies (PVAs-) associated with the block, we examine and quantify the contribution from different physical processes, including dry and moist dynamics, to the evolution of the PVA- amplitude. We find that PVAs- linked to blocking do not form locally over Greenland but propagate into the region along two distinct pathways (termed "upstream" and" retrogression") during the days before the onset. Remarkably, the development of PVAs- differs more between the pathways than between seasons. Moist processes play a key role in the amplification of PVAs- before the onset and are linked to midlatitude warm conveyor belts. Interestingly, we find moist processes supporting the westward propagation of retrograding PVAs- from Europe, too, previously thought to be a process dominated by dry-barotropic Rossby wave propagation. After onset, moist processes remain the main contribution to PVA- amplification and maintenance. However, moist processes weaken markedly after the maximum stage and dry processes, i.e. barotropic, non-linear wave dynamics, dominate the decay of the PVAs- accompanied by a general decrease in blocking area. Our results corroborate the importance of moist processes in the formation and maintenance of Greenland blocking, and suggest that a correct representation of moist processes might help reducing forecast errors linked to blocking in numerical weather prediction models and blocking biases in climate models.
An experimental study of the effect of water and chlorine on plagioclase nucleation and growth in mafic magmas: application to mafic pegmatites
Authors: Heckmann Paul , Iacono-Marziano Giada , Strmić Palinkaš Sabina
Published: December 2023

Abstract. In this study, the effects of H2O and Cl on the grain size and nucleation delay of plagioclase in basaltic magma were investigated using dynamic and equilibrium experiments at 1150 ∘C, 300 MPa, and oxygen fugacity between FMQ − 1.65 and FMQ + 0.05 (fayalite–magnetite–quartz). Each experiment consisted of five samples of basaltic composition (from the Hamn intrusion in Northern Norway) containing varying amounts of H2O (up to 2 wt %) and Cl (up to 1 wt %). The equilibrium experiments were used as a reference frame for the phase assemblage, geochemical composition, and liquidus temperatures and were compared to thermodynamic models using MELTS software. Experimental phase abundances and plagioclase compositions are in good agreement with the predictions of MELTS. The dynamic experiments were initially heated above the liquidus temperature to destroy crystal nuclei and then kept at 1150 ∘C for 100, 250, or 1800 min. These experiments show that as the concentration of H2O in the melt increases, plagioclase nucleation is delayed, plagioclase abundance decreases, but its size increases. Therefore, the addition of H2O seems to favor plagioclase growth at the expense of nucleation. Thermodynamic and kinetic calculations corroborate an increase in the nucleation delay of plagioclase with increasing H2O content dissolved in the melt, suggesting that H2O decreases the undercooling of the silicate melt. The addition of Cl also seems to delay plagioclase nucleation, although this is not supported by kinetic calculations. Increasing the Cl content decreases plagioclase abundance but does not significantly affect its size. The homogeneous pegmatitic pockets of the mafic–ultramafic Hamn intrusion exhibit several petrological and geochemical features, suggesting that H2O and Cl enrichment in the silicate melt was the origin of the pegmatitic texture. The experimental results presented here indicate that H2O, rather than Cl, may have played an important role in the formation of the pegmatitic texture.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. The use of Building Information Models (BIM) during the entire life cycle of a building or facility requires an up-to-date and detailed digital representation. Nowadays the BIM focus mostly lies on the design and construction phase of the building and is rarely used for the rest of the life cycle. For further use the BIM must be updated after construction and enriched with appliance objects such as safety equipment, heating elements to enhance its usability. In this work a new approach is presented to detect and locate appliance objects in a three dimensional environment using object detection in images created by indoor mobile mapping devices. By detecting and locating these appliance objects in the three dimensional world they can be included in the BIM model. This approach enables the detection and localization needed for the placement of placeholders or detailed geometric models of those appliances in the BIM model or other digital representations. Resulting in an increased level of detail and usability of the digital representation of the building or facility during its further life cycle. Overall, this work demonstrates and examines the accuracy of the detection and localization of appliance objects.

Abstract. With the vigorous development of the urban construction industry, engineering deformation or changes often occur during the construction process. To combat this phenomenon, it is necessary to detect changes in order to detect construction loopholes in time, ensure the integrity of the project and reduce labor costs. Or the inconvenience and injuriousness of the road. In the study of change detection in 3D point clouds, researchers have published various research methods on 3D point clouds. Directly based on but mostly based on traditional threshold distance methods (C2C, M3C2, M3C2-EP), and some are to convert 3D point clouds into DSM, which loses a lot of original information. Although deep learning is used in remote sensing methods, in terms of change detection of 3D point clouds, it is more converted into two-dimensional patches, and neural networks are rarely applied directly. We prefer that the network is given at the level of pixels or points. Variety. Therefore, in this article, our network builds a network for 3D point cloud change detection, and proposes a new module Cross transformer suitable for change detection. Simultaneously simulate tunneling data for change detection, and do test experiments with our network.

Abstract. With the acceleration of urbanization, the Chinese government has placed increasing importance on the preservation of historical and cultural sites. Recently, the Beijing municipal government has been working on the World Heritage application for the Beijing Central Axis for several years and has set a clear goal to formally apply for World Heritage status before 2025. Currently, the project has entered the final sprint stage (Zhang Yongjun, 2018(12):105-107).The Beijing Central Axis, as an important carrier of natural and cultural heritage, embodies a unique cultural heritage. As "Beijing's unique and magnificent order," the Central Axis is not just a single line but a corridor. However, during the preparation for the World Heritage application, there have been different understandings of the concept of the Central Axis, and the selection of heritage sites has not been comprehensive and systematic. Therefore, in studying the issues related to the Central Axis, utilizing POI data to conduct kernel density analysis and linear regression analysis on the cultural landmarks within Beijing can help infer the location of the Central Axis in different periods. By employing spatial analysis methods using ArcGIS, a systematic study of the characteristics of the Beijing Central Axis can be conducted, summarizing its distribution and spatial form characteristics across different dynasties. This research can provide valuable reference for future in-depth studies, conservation and utilization efforts, and the World Heritage application of the Central Axis.
Խոսողի/հեղինակի բացասական-հեգնական վերաբերմունքի ներակա արտահայտումը արդի հայերենում / The Implied Expression of the Speaker/Author’s Negative-Ironic Attitude in Modern Armenian
Authors: KESOYAN MIRANUSH
Published: December 2023

The speaker or the author can speak about something in a neutral way but he/she can also express his/her attitude (positive or negative) towards that. It can be expressed
both explicitly, that is, with a variety of evaluative means having formal expression, and
implicitly. The means of expressing a negative attitude or assessment are much more
diverse. In this article, our goal is to examine the implied expression of the speaker's or
the author's negative attitude and assessment.
Our task is to present the means by which the speaker's or the author's negativeironic attitude is manifested implicitly.
Analytical and comparative methods have been used in this study.
The study shows that the author's or the speaker's attitude in the implicit-evaluative
utterances can be expressed by certain verbal means, for example, ironic and metaphorical words, vulgarity, neologisms, vernacular language, etc., or without them,
and sometimes through the whole sentence. It is noteworthy that in this article, individual language indicators, particularly those listed above, are reconsidered as indicators of implicit assessment.
The tone plays a significant role in the expression of the implicit assessment, which
hints at the inconsistency of what is formally expressed and the hidden meaning. In some cases, it contributes to the emergence of a new meaning in a word or structure and becomes a unique way of expressing the speaker's or author's attitude.
Sobre tres poemas de Luis Alberto de Cuenca: entre la reescritura y la variación
Authors: Suárez Martínez Luis Miguel
Published: December 2023

El poema “Ἔρως ἀνίκατε μάχαν”, aparecido en la antología Espejo del amor y de la muerte  (1971), no fue luego incluido por Luis Alberto de Cuenca en Elsinore.  Para explicar esa exclusión puede resultar pertinente analizar sus paralelismos temáticos y formales con otros dos poemas  de ese libro: “Desitjada mort” y “Love’s Labour’s lost”.  El  análisis, que se extiende al plano léxico, revela unas conexiones tan estrechas entre los tres que permiten considerarlos como variaciones sobre un mismo motivo —a modo de tríptico elegiaco inspirado por el recuerdo de la amada muerta— e  incluso, en el caso de los dos primeros, como versiones sucesivas del mismo poema.

Our research aimed to create a novel lactose-free sour milk product. This would be attractive for local producers and give new possibilities for the development of the dairy industry. The new product consists of two ingredients: yogurt and ricotta. Lactose-free yogurt technology has been developed for the first component production.
Yogurt with 3 different curds has been produced and subjected to physicochemical and organoleptic testing. Bacterial culture consisting of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus were added in quantities of 100 units per 250 liters milk. The dose of lactase enzyme has been determined to decrease lactose content to 0.01 %:0.48 ml/l Ha-Lactase 5200 NLU. Technological parameters have been developed to ensure higher yield and faster protein separation for ricotta production. Three samples with different proportions (yogurt/ricotta) have been produced to obtain a product with a pleasant taste, aroma, and homogeneity for consumers. As a result of the organoleptic examination of the obtained samples, the optimal ratio has been defined as 90:10. Buckthorn puree was used as a natural additive. The food recipe has been developed, energy value and cost value have been calculated, and the titratable acidity of the food has been investigated.

The ritualistic death in (and of) the male friendship: Dismembering embodiments of inter-male homosocial relationships in Beastars
Authors: De Guzman Kevin Michael
Published: December 2023

Bromance in media often poses as a farce, but, oddly, also fortifies queer intimacies among men. According to Michael DeAngelis (2014), bromance acts with a dual function: ideologically and mythically. It plays a crucial role in representations of male-to-male friendship through its paradoxical capacity to both reinforce hegemonic norms and refuse heteronormative ideal for men. Imaginative illustrations of the antinomy of bromance is seen in anime, or Japanese animated cartoons whose most popular genre, shonen, depicts the hybridized goal of bromance to solidify male homosociality that often gets borderline homoerotic (if viewed through a queer lens). To demonstrate the hybridized capacity of bromance in media, this study presents a metaphorical analysis of the bromantic inter-male homosocial bonds in Beastars (Matsumi, 2019-2021), an anime featuring anthropomorphic animals. From an analysis based on bromance media studies, three thematic metaphors emerged: proximity, perversity, and concealment. These metaphors illustrate a reverence to “soft masculinity,” an East-Asia-formulated androgynous male performance which indirectly dismantle hegemonic representations of men by preventing the figurative death of the male-on-male friendship at the hands of the heteronormative gaze.
Assessment of Galvanic Corrosion in Molten Salts
Authors: Massimi Scott Edward , Witteman Liam , Gauderman Kristin , Rippy Kerry
Published: December 2023

Molten salts are an excellent choice for thermal energy storage materials in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, yet some salts can cause corrosion of containment alloys that damage plants and increase maintenance costs. Corrosion rates have been characterized for many salt/alloy combinations. However, corrosion rates at junctions of dissimilar alloys in molten salts are relatively poorly characterized. At such junctions, which are common in CSP plants, it is possible that galvanic interactions or other mechanisms could increase corrosion above the industry standard of 20 µm/year. Preliminary reports measured corrosion at dissimilar alloy junctions with a variety of methods, but the results are not uniform. Additionally, some reports have shown that corrosion rates are higher for single alloys than for the same alloys when paired in a galvanic couple, suggesting complex corrosion mechanisms. Here we present a discussion on measuring galvanic corrosion in molten salts that accounts for differences in results between methods and explores the possibility of other mechanisms of corrosion in the system.

The onset of turbulence in shear flows - a matter of life and death
Authors: Hof Björn
Published: December 2023

In pipe, channel and Couette flow turbulence arises despite the linear stability of the laminar state and the transition is caused by finite amplitude perturbations. In the vicinity of the critical point turbulence is not space filling but appears in localized patches. Although the lifetime of individual patches is finite, prior to decay they may infect adjacent laminar regions and proliferate. Depending which of these processes dominates, eventually either the entire flow will relaminarise or turbulence survives. This overall situation is reminiscent to absorbing state phase transitions in statistical mechanics. As shown specifically for Couette flow the transition falls into the directed percolation universality class. In order to resolve the relevant time scales of the flow and to determine the respective critical exponents, experiments with excessively large aspect ratios and observation times are required. In addition I will discuss further complications that arise in pressure driven flows such as pipes and channels.
Goldilocks mixing in ocean shear-induced turbulent overturns
Authors: Mashayek Ali
Published: December 2023

We present a new, simple and physically motivated parameterization, based on the ratio of Thorpe and Ozmidov scales, for the irreversible turbulent flux coefficient ΓM=M/ϵ , i.e. the ratio of the irreversible rate M at which the background potential energy increases in a stratified flow due to macroscopic motions to the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy ϵ . Our parameterization covers all three key phases (crucially, in time) of a shear-induced stratified turbulence life cycle: the initial, ‘hot’ growing phase, the intermediate energetically forced phase and the final ‘cold’ fossilization decaying phase. Covering all three phases allows us to highlight the importance of the intermediate one, to which we refer as the ‘Goldilocks’ phase due to its apparently optimal (and so neither too hot nor too cold, but just right) balance, in which energy transfer from background shear to the turbulent mixing is most efficient. The value of ΓM is close to 1/3 during this phase, which we demonstrate appears to be related to an adjustment towards a critical or marginal Richardson number for sustained turbulence ∼0.2–0.25 . Importantly, although buoyancy effects are still significant at leading order for the turbulent dynamics during this intermediate phase, the marginal balance in the flow ensures that the turbulent mixing of the (density) scalar is nevertheless effectively ‘locked’ to the turbulent mixing of momentum. We present supporting evidence for our parameterization through comparison with six oceanographic datasets that span various turbulence generation regimes and a wide range of geographical location and depth. Using these observations, we highlight the significance of parameterizing an inherently variable flux coefficient for capturing the turbulent flux associated with rare energetic, yet fundamentally shear-driven (and so not strongly stratified) overturns that make a disproportionate contribution to the total mixing. We also highlight the importance of representation of young turbulent patches in the parameterization for connecting the small scale physics to larger scale applications of mixing such as ocean circulation and tracer budgets. Shear-induced turbulence is therefore central to irreversible mixing in the world's oceans, apparently even close to the seafloor, and it is critically important to appreciate the inherent time dependence and evolution of mixing events: history matters to mixing.
CFD for Personalised vascular interventions – short-term solutions vs long term predictions
Authors: Diaz Vanessa
Published: December 2023

Vanessa is interested in patient-specific modelling and the development of multi-scale, multi-physics and biologically-oriented models in the cardiovascular field, in order to understand health and disease for individual patients. Vanessa’s approach uses a combination of ICT tools, systems biology approaches and biomechanics (CFD, structural mechanics FSI). She is interested in inflammation and chronic conditions (atherosclerosis, neo-intimal hyperplasia, in-stent restenosis, etc.) but also, in the utilisation of computational tools for the design and optimisation of cardiovascular devices (mechanical heart valves, stents, LVADs). Vanessa is also interested in exploring the use of sensitivity, robustness, uncertainty and optimisation techniques/tools applied to the modelling and simulation of the cardiovascular system in order to better understand how to translate computational models into the clinic and to produce solid and valid models, to test biological hypotheses. Vanessa leads the group ”MUSE” (Multiscale Cardiovascular Engineering), the only group in UCL devoted to tackle the integration of data and information through models, at multiple length and time scales.

Privacy Protection Optimization for Federated Software Defect Prediction via Benchmark Analysis
Authors: Ying Liu Ying Liu , Ying Liu Yong Li , Yong Li Ming Wen , Ming Wen Wenjing Zhang
Published: December 2023

Federated learning is a privacy-preserving machine learning technique that coordinates multi-participant co-modeling. It can alleviate the privacy issues of software defect prediction, which is an important technical way to ensure software quality. In this work, we implement Federated Software Defect Prediction (FedSDP) and optimize its privacy issues while guaranteeing performance. We first construct a new benchmark to study the performance and privacy of Federated Software defect prediction. The benchmark consists of (1) 12 NASA software defect datasets, which are all real software defect datasets from different projects in different domains, (2) Horizontal federated learning scenarios, and (3) the Federated Software Defect Prediction algorithm (FedSDP). Benchmark analysis shows that FedSDP provides additional privacy protection and security with guaranteed model performance compared to local training. It also reveals that FedSDP introduces a large amount of model parameter computation and exchange during the training process. There are model user threats and attack challenges from unreliable participants. To provide more reliable privacy protection without losing prediction performance we proposed optimization methods that use homomorphic encryption model parameters to resist honest but curious participants. Experimental results show that our approach achieves more reliable privacy protection with excellent performance on all datasets.

 
Hybrid FCSR Based Stream Cipher for Secure Communications in IoT
Authors: Shyi-Tsong Wu Shyi-Tsong Wu
Published: December 2023

Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) is the basic hardware of stream cipher, and Feedback with Carry Shift Register (FCSR) is the nonlinear analogues of LFSR. FCSR is a feedback architecture to generate long pseudorandom sequence. In this paper, we study the characteristics of FCSRs combined with nonlinear circuits such as Dawson’s Summation Generator (DSG), lp-Geffe generator and etc. Then we proposed a hybrid FCSR applying DSG and lp-Geffe generator as nonlinear combining elements to increase the period and the linear complexity of the output sequence. In addition, we further investigate the period, linear complexity, randomness, and use known attacks to verify the security strength of the proposed keystream generator. The pass rates of the proposed scheme are 100% for FIPS PUB 140-1 random tests, and at least 98% for SP800-22 random test, respectively.

 
An Integrated Semi-supervised Software Defect Prediction Model
Authors: Fanqi Meng Fanqi Meng , Fanqi Meng Wenying Cheng , Wenying Cheng Jingdong Wang
Published: December 2023

A novel semi-supervised software defect prediction model FFeSSTri (Filtered Feature Selecting, Sample and Tri-training) is proposed to address the problem that class imbalance and too many irrelevant or redundant features in labelled samples lower the accuracy of semi-supervised software defect prediction. Its innovation lies in that the construction of FFeSSTri integrates an oversampling technique, a new feature selection method, and a Tri-training algorithm, thus it can effectively improve the accuracy. Firstly, the oversampling technique is applied to expand the class of inadequate samples, thus it solves the unbalanced classification of the labelled samples. Secondly, a new filtered feature selection method based on relevance and redundancy is proposed, which can exclude those irrelevant or redundant features from labelled samples. Finally, the Tri-training algorithm is used to learn the labelled training samples to build the defect prediction model FFeSSTri. The experiments conducted on the NASA software defect prediction dataset show that FFeSSTri outperforms the existing four supervised learning methods and one semi-supervised learning method in terms of F-Measure values and AUC values.
