Impact of Exercises on Bone Health of Pre-Menopausal Female
Authors: Tanveer Fahad
Published: January 2023

The process of bone resorption and creation, in which osteoclasts destroy old bone and osteoblasts produce new bone, causes the living tissue of bone to continually degrade. Bone is a dynamic tissue that adjusts to the accompanying mechanical forces that are put on it, such as exercise. In order to lower the risk of osteoporosis and resultant fractures during the postmenopausal years, with relative-risk rises, it is crucial to maintain appropriate bone mineral density (BMD) levels throughout the premenopausal years. Pre-menopausal women have been found to have osteopenia and osteoporosis at prevalence rates of 15% and 0.6%, respectively [1]. In addition, it has been found that premenopausal women lose between 0.25 and 1% of their bone mineral density per year [2]. In Pakistan, the long-life expectancy after menopause, multiparity, lack of a calcium-rich diet, vitamin D deficiency, physical inactivity, as well as socio-demographic factors, all contribute to an increase in the prevalence of primary, type II osteoporosis and its associated complications. According to a local survey, it affects postmenopausal women 20-49.3% of the time [3]. Although pre-menopausal women are often unsuitable for pharmaceutical treatment, relying on lifestyle factors is virtually always advised.
Exercise, a low-cost, non-pharmacologic intervention that is accessible to the great majority of the population, is one potentially successful lifestyle strategy for accomplishing this aim. During youth, exercise improves bone growth and increases BMD, and it may help older people avoid osteoporosis and fractures. Regular exercise, particularly weight-bearing and high-impact exercises, helps the body build high peak bone mass and may lower the risk of falls and osteoporotic fractures in later life. Regarding femoral neck BMD, high-impact exercise was shown to be most beneficial, and it has also been hypothesized that gains brought on by high-impact exercise are retained after intervention. In healthy pre-menopausal women, high-impact exercise increases the bone mineral density in the upper femur and the lumbar spine. This kind of exercise could be an effective, secure, and affordable strategy to prevent osteoporosis later in life if done regularly. Progressive resistance strength training for the lower limbs is the kind of exercise that have the greatest impact on BMD for the neck of the femur and should be taken into consideration in clinical practice. The multicomponent training exercise programme has been recommended as the most effective intervention for BMD at the spine. Aerobic exercises involving weight bearing and training on vibrating platforms may also improve BMD.

Published: January 2023

CLABSIs are some of the utmost fatal hospital-acquired infections. CLABSIs cost up to $45,000 per infection around the world. CDC reported that in U.S. hospitals around 41,000 preventable CLABSIs occur every year, so the magnitude of the problem could be worse in Pakistan where there are still gaps in documenting the hospital data. Objective: To identify the nurses' knowledge and compliance and their association regarding prevention of CLABSI in public and private sector hospitals of Peshawar. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out among 140 Nurses working in Intensive Care Units of (LRH & RMI) who had at least one year of experience. Enumerative or census sampling method was used to take the entire eligible ICU nurses as a sample. Data was collected through a validated and pre pilot tested questionnaire and checklist. Results: Around 30% of the nurses had poor knowledge, 43.6% had an average knowledge, 22.1% good knowledge and only 3.6% had an excellent knowledge regarding CLABSIs. The compliance level was found as 83.6%. Very weak positive association was found between knowledge and compliance level of nurses regarding CLABSIs on Pearson Correlation test (r). Conclusions: The results of this study concluded that nurses were not well equipped with the knowledge regarding CLABSIs, while there was a weak positive relationship between knowledge and compliance level among nurses. Therefore, the findings suggest that nurses need to be updated with standard guidelines and training to prevent CLABSIs.

Strategies for teaching vocabulary help students understand and remember the vocabulary they have acquired through their language learning experience as vocabulary learning is one of the most important elements in the advancement of language learning and communication development. All other skills such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening are vocabulary-based. Relative to this, the study aimed at determining the effectiveness of Game-Based Learning Strategies in improving the Vocabulary Performance of Selected Grade Five Pupils. A quasi-experimental design was used to establish a cause-and-effect relationship among the variables. This study involved the selected Grade Five Pupils from Paaralang Elementarya ng Tipas. Two groups from different learning modalities were tested: one group was under Modular Distance Learning and the other group was from Online Distance Learning. The administration of the pretest and posttest were vital in measuring the performance of the students before and after their exposure to Game-Based Learning Strategies. The results of the study showed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the respondents before and after exposure to Game-Based Learning Strategies. The use of the Vocabulary Wheel for Modular Distance Learning and Travel around the “words” for Online Distance Learning were found to be effective in terms of improving learners’ word knowledge, word association, and word consciousness. On the other hand, no significant difference was found in the posttest of the respondents from Modular and Online Distance Learning. This finding supported the notion that both game strategies can be used in improving students’ vocabulary performance in the two modes of learning delivery. This study also emphasizes the need to take into account the positive effects of game-based learning strategies in improving vocabulary performance. Choosing games and activities to help learners learn vocabulary effectively requires careful consideration. Keywords: Game-Based Learning Strategies, Vocabulary Performance, Quasi-Experimental Design, Philippines
Avoiding pitfalls in antibiotic therapy: the antibiotic stewardship approach
Authors: Huppertz-Thyssen Markus H. , Rodriguez Saavedra Carolina
Published: January 2023

The aim of this reflection is to determine the effectiveness and safety of ABS interventions. A strong correlation between antibiotic overuse and the growing worldwide resistance, but also with individual side effects is well established and should open the door to a more personalized approach to anti-infective therapies. Antibiotic resistance is a global public health challenge and is recognized as a global threat to human health by national healthcare agencies, governments, medical societies and the World Health Organization (WHO). The anticipated clinical scenario of Pan- Drug – Resistant (PDR) bacteria is accelerated by antibiotic overuse. In fact, multi- drug – resistance (MDR) is already the cause of severe infections, complications, longer hospital stay and increased mortality in most of the countries. Herein, the techniques of an Antibiotic Stewardship Approach and their stepwise implementation are summarized and highlighted. There is often a general lack of understanding on how to choose the right antibiotic at the right time and in the right dose. This article discusses general principles like the best choice and use of different antibiotic classes, a better use of beta- lactams according to principles of pharmacokinetics, avoidance or limitation of unnecessary combination therapies, shorter courses of therapy without any disadvantage in infection control and the value of PCT monitoring. We hope to contribute to the promotion and implementation of these important therapeutical principles, aiming at the reduction of unnecessary or wrong antibiotic therapies and, so, at the decrease of side effects, mortality and further resistance.

Authors: Soma Álvarez Luis Alberto , López Robles Lluvia Esmeralda , Guevara Hernández Francisco
Published: January 2023

En el estudio se identificaron y analizaron los criterios socio-agronómicos utilizados por los productores para el manejo y control tradicional de enfermedades en el chayote (Sechium edule Jacq. Sw.) de traspatio en zonas rurales de los municipios de Villa Corzo y Villaflores, Chiapas, México. Mediante entrevistas semi-estructuradas realizadas a 30 productores por municipio y de manera aleatoria. El objetivo de esta investigación fue documentar los tipos de fitopatógenos, los daños ocasionados en el cultivo de chayote, su manejo y control, basados en el conocimiento tradicional de los productores de estos municipios. Los resultados reflejan que únicamente el 26.67% de los productores presenta problemas fitosanitarios en el cultivo de chayote de acuerdo con los daños encontrados. Además, se identificaron los géneros de patógenos más importantes en ambos municipios los cuales son Colletotrichum (13.33%), el Phytophthora (10%) y Pseudoperonospora (1.67%). No obstante, para el municipio de Villaflores, también se encontró el género Fusarium (1.67%). El control de estos fitopatógenos es muy escaso en ambos municipios, ya que los productores carecen de información para el control de las enfermedades causadas por estos hongos, y solo el 6.67% decide controlarlas. Se confirma la validez de los estudios socio-agronómicos en los agroecosistemas tradicionales, sobre todo para documentar y entender el conocimiento tradicional sobre el manejo de las enfermedades en el cultivo de chayote de traspatio.

Published: January 2023

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre la atrofia del hipocampo y la severidad de la epilepsia en pacientes con epilepsia del lóbulo temporal (ELT) como primer paso para evaluar la posibilidad de cirugía para la epilepsia y analizar por qué los pacientes no pueden operarse de la epilepsia. Se realizó RM volumétrica del hipocampo en 51 pacientes consecutivos (29 hombres; edad media 40) con ELT. El diagnóstico de ELT, la lateralización y la gravedad (leve, moderada, grave) de las convulsiones se basaron en una evaluación integral que incluyó examen neurológico y EEG en todos los pacientes. Los pacientes con evidencia de una lesión diferente a la esclerosis del hipocampo no se incluyeron en el estudio. Evaluamos la relación entre los volúmenes del hipocampo y la evidencia electrofisiológica de la gravedad de las convulsiones. Según el lado afectado con base en el EEG, se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p < 0.001) en el volumen y una correlación positiva entre la epilepsia y la atrofia del hipocampo. Nuestros resultados confirman que la pérdida de volumen en el hipocampo en pacientes con ELT se correlaciona con la gravedad de la epilepsia según el EEG. Por lo tanto, el tratamiento quirúrgico se considera temprano cuando la atrofia del hipocampo es evidente en pacientes con ELT refractario. Sin embargo, en los países latinoamericanos es un desafío lograr que un paciente se someta a una cirugía de epilepsia. Por ello, tratamos de analizar la triste situación de nuestro hospital.
Implications of EU environmental policies on agriculture in Europe and beyond
Authors: Tack Jurgen
Published: January 2023

The European Union is taking several policy initiatives to combat climate change and the loss of biodiversity with direct impact on agriculture. For farmers the European Commission is promoting an instrument called OECM, Other effective area-based conservation measures. Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are a new conservation approach, separate from protected areas, where conservation is achieved mainly as a by-product of other management. OECMs can be counted towards the EU target if: i) Conservation objectives and measures are in place; ii) the area is covered by a national or international legal or administrative act or a contractual arrangement achieving long-term conservation outcomes and iii) effective management and monitoring of the biodiversity in the area is in place. A new growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. While those initiatives mainly impact the life and work of European farmers, there is as well an indirect impact to farmers elsewhere in the world

A total of 54 plants from the flora of Rondônia (38 determined at the species level, 16 at the genus level), distributed in 49 genera and 30 botanical families, have alleged antiparasitic properties for use in fisheries.
CRIMINALIZATION OF THE INFORMATION SPACE AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF EXTREMIST GROUPS IN SOCIAL NETWORKS
Authors: Shut O. А.
Published: January 2023

Despite all its advantages, the information space is a huge public danger, since, in particular, it is used to commit offenses. Offenses committed in the information space are characterized by high latency, since law enforcement agencies do not have enough opportunities to investigate and disclose these crimes, since they can be committed on the territory of one country, while the location of the offender may be on the territory of a completely different country or continent.

This article discusses the criminalization of the information space and the criminal activity of extremist groups in social networks.

The relevance of this article lies in the fact that this article examines the problems that have appeared with the spread of social networks, and what kind of public danger they pose. Crimes committed through the use of the Internet are characterized by high latency and pose huge problems for law enforcement agencies. To combat Internet crime, States need to improve the technical support of their own law enforcement agencies.
The interplay between depression, sleep, and type 2 diabetes
Authors:   , Brouwer Annelies
Published: January 2023

Depression and T2D cluster together, and sleep disturbances have been hypothesized to explain this. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to disentangle the complex interplay between depression, sleep and glycemic control in individuals with T2D.

We made progress in the understanding of this interplay, but we also found that the interrelationships are even more complex than anticipated. The constructs of depression and sleep appeared to be multifaceted, but closely related, which stresses once more the complexity of the classification of mental disorders.
This thesis underscores that depressive symptoms are associated with sleep problems, and that sleep problems may result in poor glycemic control. We did not find associations between depressive symptoms and poor glycemic control, but instead found that insulin resistance could be promising focus for precision medicine in depression.
This thesis also suggests that the general practitioner and psychiatrist should consider light therapy as a treatment option in highly insulin resistant individuals with depression.

Above all, this thesis highlights the mind-body connection, with associations between mental health and metabolic health. On the whole, this thesis pleas for an approach in which the improvement of mental and physical health is integrated. Lifestyle factors, including sleep, and rhythmicity, but also diet and exercise, may play a prominent role in such an approach.
ENSINO RELIGIOSO: RELEVANTE COMPONENTE CURRICULAR PARA COMBATER A INTOLERÂNCIA ÉTNICO-RACIAL E RELIGIOSA NAS ESCOLAS
Authors: Dias Cléa Luíza Rosa
Published: January 2023

A presente pesquisa tem o escopo de identificar as manifestações cotidianas de intolerâncias nas escolas e como enfrentá-las. Inicialmente será utilizada a legislação, partindo da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB) – Lei 9.394/1996, que preconiza o respeito à diversidade cultural religiosa do Brasil. No entanto, esta Lei deixou a lacuna de promover a valorização histórico-cultural e religiosa sem proselitismo, havendo necessidade de alterá-la pelas Leis 9.475/1997 e 10.639/2003 e, posteriormente, esta última, modificada pela Lei 11.645/2008. Estas foram elaboradas com viés de incluir, obrigatoriamente. O estudo da história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena. A diversidade cultural e pluralismo religioso no ambiente escolar geram uma tensão constante entre os(as) alunos(as) da educação básica, aumentando a violência e distanciando-os de uma boa formação cidadã. O problema maximiza com a falta de especialização e/ou capacitação dos professores e professoras na área de Ciências da Religião para mediar estes conflitos, ocasionando o principal entrave para aplicação efetiva das leis retromencionadas. Quanto a metodologia, será baseada em pesquisas bibliográficas em artigos publicados em periódicos científicos, dissertações, teses e obras nas áreas de teologia e pedagogia. Justifica-se que o Ensino Religioso é relevante para trabalhar valores e respeito às diferenças histórico-culturais e religiosas. Dessa forma, a pesquisa propõe elaboração de materiais didático-pedagógicos que possam auxiliar professores e professoras a ministrarem suas aulas através de ensino lúdico e interdisciplinares, contendo histórias em quadrinhos (HQ), culinária, arte, poesia, ciência, religião e jogos digitais. Destarte, almejamos contribuir com o GT 6 (Ensino Religioso: diversidade e humanização), mostrando que o Ensino Religioso, o(a) professor(a) e a escola terão uma grande relevância em reconhecer a diversidade e pluralismo como construção histórica, social, religiosa e política das diferenças, com enfoque na valorização humana e, consequentemente, no combate ao racismo e quaisquer outros tipos de intolerância.

The optimal ratios of the components of the WC–Co‒CrB2 system have been established, at which a finely dispersed structure is formed with a simultaneous improvement in physical and mechanical properties. It is shown that the introduction of CrB2 (in concentration CCrB2 = 4% wt) leads to a twofold increase in fracture toughness (from KIc = 4.4 MPa ∙ m1/2 to KIc = 9.8 MPa ∙ m1/2) with a slight decrease hardness (from H = 15.1 to 13.9 GPa), as well as to an increase in the ultimate bending (from σ = 2000 to 2500 MPa) and compression (from σ = 5300 to 6000 MPa) strength of sintered composite specimens. Creation of the WC–Co‒CrB2 composite materials with improved mechanical and operational properties is essential for optimizing the designs of drilling tools for various technological purposes, increasing their reliability, energy saving, and improving operational properties.

Authors:   PA «Azneft», SOCAR, Baku, Azerbaijan, Shiraliev A. A.
Published: January 2023

On the basis of large-scale gas-hydrodynamic balance models, the problem of optimizing the cyclic development of underground gas storage (UGS) facilities has been formulated and solved. An algorithm has been developed that allows optimal control of the UGS development process, taking into account the limitations on the flow rates of certain wells. For its implementation, a specific model structure of the Kalmaz UGS facility was selected. It is shown that optimal regulation of the values of flow rates and depressions of wells ensures minimal flooding of well products during the extraction of total gas, the values of reception and repression of wells ensure maximum removal of the gas-water boundary from the bottom of the well during the injection of total gas. Keywords: optimization; underground gas storage; extraction; injection; flow rate; depression; repression.

Published: January 2023

The World is in the midst of transition characterized by low birth and death rates, resulting in the rising population of geriatric persons. India is also facing this situation and will become the country with the second largest number of persons in the World. According to Ministry of Health and Family Welfare the number of 60+ in India will increase to 100 million in 2013 to 198 million in 2030 1. Ageing population need not be a drain of social and economic resources. The National Program for The Care of the Elderly (NPHCE) wants initiatives and interventions from the aspect of Preventive, Curative and rehabilitative aspects in the geriatric field. Many medical conditions that commonly affect the elderly can cause dysphagia or difficulty in swallowing which impacts nutritional state and frailty. This is more so after the devastating pandemic which has caused swallowing difficulty in many post Covid 19 patients. It is a hidden disability and it is important and essential that a multidisciplinary approach be formulated and guidelines be established to have effective interventions in place to help this rapidly growing vulnerable population. Recognizing this important initiative and the need for setting guidelines for the care of these vulnerable patients, IAPEN INDIA launched the Dysphagia Core Group or Special Interest Groups which consists of voluntary members of Doctors in the specialty of Neurologists, onco surgeons, ENT specialists along with experts in the academic field teaching speech language pathology, practicing clinical dietitians, swallow therapists and Speech language Pathologists in August 2019.

Poetiska homeplaces: Reflektioner och samtal om muslimsk subjektivitet inom spoken word och poesi
Authors: Muftee Mehek
Published: January 2023

The last decade saw a renaissance of the artform called spoken word poetry through several spoken word projects in the suburbs of Swedish cities. A group of women who have been prominent in using these platforms as a way to highlight their voices and stories are young Muslim women from primarily from socioeconomically disadvantaged suburbs. This article focuses on a few of these voices. Based on a multimodal methodology including interviews with poets and readings of their work, this article sets out to understand how the young women use their poetry to formulate their subjectivity and issues that that matter to them. The poets and spoken word artists can be seen as knotworkers who use various platforms and tools in order to share their stories and reflections. The study shows how spoken word platforms have played an important role in creating a space where young poets find creative homeplaces and craft their own positions as poets and the kind of poetry they want to engage in. Through personal experiences and stories, the poets bind together several societal issues such as antiblack racism, antimuslim racism, classism, and patriarchy. Muslim subjectivity is articulated through the use of language and certain religious definitions such as references to prayers. Poetry is also used as a way to create feminist archives of missing stories. This study also highlights how double consciousness is at work where the poets reflect on certain difficult topics and how they chose to engage with them through their writing.

Published: January 2023

El presente trabajo describe el proceso de persecución del Estado peruano a radio La Voz en contexto del conflicto socioambiental conocido como “Baguazo”, hecho ocurrido el 5 de junio de 2009 en la que perdieron la vida 37 personas. Después de realizar entrevistas, recopilar y analizar documentos administrativos, visualizar y analizar videos, escuchar y analizar audios, y visitar instalaciones de la radio; se concluye que existió persecución administrativa – legal y política a este medio, debido, principalmente, a su línea editorial de apoyo al paro amazónico promovido por las culturas Awajún y Wampís. Los resultados evidencian que la persecución administrativa – legal, se manifiestan, primero: en la dación inmediata de una resolución de suspensión de licencia por parte del Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones, aduciendo causas administrativas, sin embargo, la resolución de reapertura de la radio por esta misma institución, no menciona esta causal, sino que, alega la supuesta preocupación de organismos nacionales e internacionales por la libertad de expresión; y, segundo: por la denuncia penal contra la propietaria, director, cuatro trabajadores y la propia radio en calidad persona jurídica por el delito de apología del delito y sedición en agravio del Estado. La persecución política, se evidencia a través de las múltiples denuncias y acusaciones públicas por parte de ministros, congresistas y otros funcionarios del gobierno culpando a la radio de propagar información falsa sobre los sucesos del “Baguazo” y de alentar a los huelguistas a actuar con violencia contra fuerzas del orden.

Background. Physical activity is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. Properly developed training leads to many beneficial changes affecting the functional capabilities of people of all ages and with varying degrees of training. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of strength training on motor control and back pain.
Material and methods. The study involved 60 healthy people who were assigned to one of two groups, taking into account their level of physical activity. Motor control was assessed by analyzing movement patterns, balance and activation of the transverse abdominal muscle. Spinal pain was assessed on the basis of the author's questionnaire and Oswetry questionnaire.
Results. Subjects in Group II spent more time during the day in a sitting position and more often experienced back pain. In Group I statistically better results were recorded in the FMS assessment. In both groups the distribution of the foot load was correct. In the posturographic study, better results of most stabilometric parameters were observed in Group I. Better activation of the transverse abdominal muscle was noted in the subjects in Group II. According to the Oswestry questionnaire, the subjects of Group II were more likely to experience back pain, especially when lifting heavy objects.
Conclusions. In physically active people better motor control and balance were observed, as well as less frequent back pain.

Oriental fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis being highly polyphagous, mobile and relatively long lived (~3 months), the efficacy of area-wide management programs is mainly influenced by field fruit fly population levels. A study was conducted to understand the seasonal abundance and host shift pattern of B. dorsalis, a major pest of mango, Mangifera indica L. in relation to climatic factors and host fruit availability as it is known to survive on both wild and cultivated fruits. The fruit fly population attained high levels in the months of March-July due to the availability of main host(mango) as well as supporting host fruits (guava, sapota, rose apple, wild fig, singapore cherry, sour cherry, karonda, star fruit) and the population was less during November- January. Correlation analysis showed that the fruit fly trap catch was significantly negatively correlated with relative humidity (r =-0.87, RH I; r = -0.63, RH II), whereas it was significantly positively correlated with maximum temperature (r = 0.89), host fruit availability (r = 0.89) and fallen fruits (r = 0.80). The statistically significant values (P =0.01, 0.05) revealed that the occurrence of pest incidence is mainly due to its host availability and prevailing climatic factors. Therefore, the management of fruit fly B. dorsalishas to be promoted from the month of February onwards to realize maximum benefit of management strategies.
The Blind Spot in COVID-19 Vaccination Policies: Under-Reported Adverse Events
Authors: Provost Patrick
Published: January 2023

Case reports involving two academic researchers suggest that adverse events (AEs) to COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination are largely underreported due to numerous clinical, systemic, political and media factors. The lack of proper analysis and consideration of the reported AEs also suggests that these injections are not as safe as widely purported. The resulting biased risk-benefit assessment may only produce misinformed public health recommendations and misguided political decisions, thereby exposing the population to an underestimated risk, in possible violation of the precautionary principle and of the right to a free and informed consent. The possible mechanisms underlying AEs to COVID-19 vaccination raise serious concerns regarding the new vaccine application of the mRNA technology that need to be addressed before expanding it to other infectious diseases. The legal considerations of AE underreporting are also discussed, and recommendations are formulated. AEs to mRNA injections are a reality and need to be better assessed than heretofore, diagnosed and reported to public health authorities for follow-up investigation in order to inform policy decisions and updates to physician guidelines in an objective, scientifically based, independent, and transparent manner.
Cambio Climático: Relación Intrínseca con la Seguridad y la Defensa
Authors: Miranda Alfaro Víctor Arturo
Published: January 2023

Considerando lo que John Kingdon denomina “ventana de oportunidad,” en este artículo se analiza la participación de las Fuerzas Armadas del Perú, particularmente del Ejército, en el desarrollo y la protección de la Amazonía y el ambiente a fin de fortalecer la capacidad estatal en beneficio de los más vulnerables. En ese sentido, el compromiso del Estado en la prevención de emergencias, el fortalecimiento de la paz social y el desarrollo proporciona una base sólida para abordar -institucionalmente- los impactos climáticos y explotar sinergias. Solo a través de una articulación transversal de las estrategias de protección del clima y el ambiente, de Seguridad y de Defensa Nacional se obtendrá un impacto significativo.
"Revoked just now!" Users' Behaviors Toward Fitness-Data Sharing with Third-Party Applications

Published: January 2023

The number of users of wearable activity trackers (WATs) has rapidly increased over the last decade. Although these devices enable their users to monitor their activities and health, they also raise new security and privacy concerns, given the sensitive data (e.g., steps, heart rate) they collect and the information that can be inferred from this data (e.g., diseases). In addition to sharing with the service providers (e.g., Fitbit), WAT users can share their fitness data with third-party applications (TPAs) and individuals. Understanding how and with whom users share their fitness data and what kind of approaches they take to preserve their privacy are key to assessing the underlying privacy risks and to further designing appropriate privacy-enhancing techniques. In this work, we perform, through a large-scale survey of N=628 WAT users, the first quantitative and qualitative analysis of users' awareness, understanding, attitudes, and behaviors toward fitness-data sharing with TPAs and individuals. By asking these users to draw their thoughts, we explore, in particular, users' practices and actual behaviors toward fitness-data sharing and their mental models. Our empirical results show that about half of WAT users underestimate the number of TPAs to which they have granted access to their data, and 63% share data with at least one TPA that they do not actively use (anymore). Furthermore, 29% of the users do not revoke TPA access to their data because they forget they gave access to it in the first place, and 8% were not even aware they could revoke access to their data. Finally, their mental models, as well as some of their answers, demonstrate substantial gaps in their understanding of the data-sharing process. Importantly, 67% of the respondents think that TPAs cannot access the fitness data that was collected before they granted access to it, whereas TPAs actually can do this.
MIAShield: Defending Membership Inference Attacks via Preemptive Exclusion of Members
Authors: Jarin Ismat , Eshete Birhanu
Published: January 2023

In membership inference attacks (MIAs), an adversary observes the predictions of a model to determine whether a sample is part of the model’s training data. Existing MIA defenses conceal the presence of a target sample through strong regularization, knowledge distillation, confidence masking, or differential privacy. We propose MIAShield, a new MIA defense based on preemptive exclusion of member samples instead of masking the presence of a member. MIAShield departs from prior defenses in that it weakens the strong membership signal that stems from the presence of a target sample by preemptively excluding it at prediction time without compromising model utility. To that end, we design and evaluate a suite of preemptive exclusion oracles leveraging model confidence, exact/approximate sample signature, and learning-based exclusion of member data points. To be practical, MIAShield splits a training data into disjoint subsets and trains each subset to build an ensemble of models. The disjointedness of subsets ensures that a target sample belongs to only one subset, which isolates the sample to facilitate the preemptive exclusion goal. We evaluate MIAShield on three benchmark image classification datasets. We show that MIAShield effectively mitigates membership inference (near random guess) for a wide range of MIAs; achieves far better privacy/utility trade-off compared with state-of-the-art defenses; and remains resilient in the face of adaptive attacks.
