Published: July 2022

Abstract: The authentication scheme is an important cryptographic mechanism, through which two communication parties could authenticate each other in the open network environment. To satisfy the requirement of practical applications, many authenticationschemes using passwords and smart cards have been proposed. However,passwords might be divulged or forgotten, and smart cards might be shared, lost, or stolen. In contrast, biometric methods such as face or iris scans, have no such drawbacks. Three biometric traits are collected and stored into database at the time of enrollment. The Multimodel Biometric based user authentication systems are highly secured and efficient to use and place total trust on the authentication server where biometric verification data are stored in a database. Such systems are prone to dictionary attacks initiated at the server side. In thispaper, we propose an efficient approach based on multimodal biometrics-based user authentication and key exchange system. In this system,texture properties are extracted from the palm print, face and iris. Duringlogin procedure the mutual authentication is done between the user and server and a symmetric key is generated on both sides, which could be used for further secure communication between the user and the server can also be overcome. This system can be directly applied to strengthen existing password or biometric based systems without requiring additional computation.

Authors: E Teja
Published: July 2022

Abstract: In today's society, we use signatures for many important documents like passports, driving licenses, bank cheques, etc. But signatures can be forged in multiple ways, which can create a number of problems, such as identity theft, hacking, fake identification, etc. To reduce these problems, our project is about developing a system for detecting whether a signature is forged or real from a dataset of signatures. For our project, we are developing an offline signature verification system. This system is based on CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and SNN (Siamese Neural Network). In this project, we will be comparing both CNN’s and SNN's to find which produces a better result. We are implementing the project using a custom CNN, a CNN with VGG16 architecture, a custom SNN and a SNN using the SigNet architecture.
Review on Implementation of Dye-sensitised Solar Cells (DSSC)
Authors: Roy Arnab Nilanjan , V S Amruth
Published: July 2022

Abstract: Solar cells give better power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to conventional solar cells made of Silicon in terms of low materials and manufacturing costs. Materials required for the manufacturing of DSSCs such as titanium oxide are inexpensive, abundant and environmentally friendly. DSSC materials are contamination resistant and processable at room temperature, a roll-to-roll process can be used to print DSSCs in a mass production facility. DSSCs have been found to perform better under low light conditions and so they are a great choice for indoor applications, especially in powering of low powered objects such as IoT devices. A lot of work has also been done to make coloured and semi-transparent thin film DSSCs to use indoors and in window modules and enhance their aesthetic values. This review is a report about some selected works done in manufacturing of DSSCs, especially the transparent cells and their integration in buildings, both outdoors and indoor [1].
A Review on Vibro-Acoustic Analysis of a Launch Vehicle Structure
Authors: Krishna Ajay
Published: July 2022

Abstract: Space vehicles are subjected to significant dynamic pressure loads when their rocket propulsion systems are in use during flying missions. During the aerodynamic and launch phases, launch vehicles, payloads, and their parts are subjected to extremely high random acoustic loads. The noise from the engine exhaust gas, aerodynamic boundary layer noise, transonic buffering, structure-borne vibration, engine thrust fluctuation, etc. is the source of these loads, which also result in a secondary acoustic load. When the vehicle is lifting off and traveling at a speed greater than Mach number, acoustic stresses to the spacecraft and payload are very harsh and significant. This loading causes the structure to vibrate randomly, which could be dangerous for some vehicle parts, avionics, propulsion systems, and payloads like satellites. This paper discusses the vibration of the structure subjected to acoustic excitation on a diffuse acoustic field and the software used for the analysis.

Published: July 2022

Environmental accounting is an effort to minimize the negative impact on the environment of the company's operational activities, both monetary and non-monetary. This effort is carried out by identifying the environmental impacts of the company's operations and the costs of handling these impacts. There have been several regulations referring environmental accounting disclosures, but the application of these disclosures is still voluntary. The investigation focuses on the importance of environmental accounting disclosures, i.e. to find out whether companies in Indonesia have disclosed environmental problems from their operations. The data is supported by the annual reports of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2021 in all industries. Methods of data analysis using scoring techniques or assessments using the Frictional scoring method and descriptive analysis. We found that the average disclosure in each aspect of the assessment model Fekrat shows zero and one. The other side shows that most of the companies sampled in this study have not made environmental disclosures. The contribution of this finding can serve as a basis for policymakers in Indonesia to assess the effectiveness of related regulations in environmental protection efforts. Apart from that, other facts also show the need for the legitimacy of the IDX as a capital market operator to require companies to disclose environmental accounting in their annual reports. The professional practical and research implications for the future relative also to the concept of dealing with, changing, and significantly implementing consortia in sustainable environmental accounting mechanism.

Published: July 2022

Filament production is a demanding process, which we decided to optimize by designing a laminar box in this scientific study. From a number of designs, we decided to choose a purposeful design for the future construction of the laminar box. The production of filaments takes place on a filament maker, which must be placed in a laminar box. The laminar box then provides ideal conditions in the production process, such as the optimum ambient temperature, which according to standards should be in the range of 18 to 19 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, this laminar box is equipped with a thermometer, hygrometer and control unit. All technical specifications are written in this scientific study. The study contains a number of illustrations for a better idea. The laminar box represents a significant contribution to the production and optimization of the conditions for the production of biomedical filaments. His design is unique and follows from the scientific research of the authors of the scientific study.
Inclusivism, Perspectivism and Pluralistic Tendencies in the History of Indian Culture
Authors: Desnitskaya Evgeniya A.
Published: July 2022

This article provides a survey of approaches and conceptual means elaborated in recent decades in the studies of pluralistic tendencies in Indian culture. The concepts of inclusivism, perspectivism, antologizing and polyphony are discussed in a close relation with the specific context in which they were introduced, as well as with the implicit presuppositions of the scholars who elaborated them. In particular, the interpretations of inclusivism introduced by Paul Hacker and Gerhard Oberhammer were inextricably intertwined with the views on Indian religions these scholars developed. The concept of perspectivism was introduced in a philosophical context, mainly with respect to Bhartṛhari’s and Jaina philosophy. Antologizing and polyphony can be characterized as a more cautious way to conceptualize pluralistic tendencies in Indian traditional discourse, because they focus on narrative strategies that enable expressing alternative views in the frames of a single text. From a historical point of view pluralistic tendencies might be stipulated by the diverse social reality in Ancient India where heterogeneous cultural phenomena coexisted in a process of mutual reinterpretation and adaptation. Another possible presupposition of perspectivism could be the cyclic concept of time that was predominant in Indian traditional discourse. In Indian intellectual systems pluralistic practices were usually legitimized with the view that there are different levels of truth. Though instances of inclusivism can be discovered in the cultures of different regions, it was in India that inclusivism became a dominant trend in the cultural history.
Buddhism as Teaching of the “Axial Age” in the Work of Alexander Men
Authors: Nizhnikov Sergei A. , Le Thi Hong Phuong
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the interpretation of Fr. Alexander Men (1935-1990) of Buddhism as teaching of the “Axial Age”. It is based on his seven-volume work “History of Religion: In Search of the Way, Truth and Life” (1970-1983). First defines the methodology used by Fr. Alexander, which is comparative and hermeneutic in nature. At the same time, he proceeds from a theistic-Christian value position, which, nevertheless, allows him respectfully treats other religious-philosophical traditions. The originality of the author’s interpretation of Buddhism is determined, both its adequate features and one-sided, set by the value orientation. The concepts of transcendence and transcendent are differentiated, which allows conducting a comparative analysis of Buddhism and Christianity, assessments given by Fr. Alexander. The denial of the transcendent in Buddhism does not mean the absence of transcendence, especially in understanding the status of nirvana, which is defined purely apophatically. In the Indian worldview, he finds five essential principles that make Buddhism and Christianity related, despite all the difference in their positions: apophaticism, denial of the highest value of earthly goods, recognition of the high dignity of personal asceticism in spiritual life, the concept of “karma” as retribution (it is the aspect of retribution that is emphasized), the idea of salvation-liberation as the main goal of religion. These principles, in his opinion, “constitute a strong bridge connecting Eastern religious experience with the Gospel”. The work of A. Men contributes to the expansion of the cultural horizon, liberation from both nationalist and Eurocentric points of view, contributes to the development of a dialogue that is so necessary right now. It is noted that the “Axial Age” concept by K. Jaspers as a whole allows avoiding one-sided assessments, revealing the common source of all axial teachings, which can be defined as “a breakthrough to the transcendent”.

“Belinografização”, Telecinema e Videocinema
Authors: Sousa Adriano Carvalho Araujo e , Gaudreault André , Marion Philippe
Published: July 2022

A chegada da televisão foi o elemento desencadeador de uma das maiores crises “existenciais” que o cinema conheceu – uma crise que mal chega ao fim agora que a supremacia do “videocinema” (definido como o fenômeno que reúne tudo os resultantes desse cinema que se oferece fora dos quadros clássicos delimitados pela projeção) é atestado pela dominação exercida pelo digital sobre o conjunto dos meios audiovisuais. Depois de ter associado esse “videocinema” a um possível “terceiro nascimento” do cinema e evocado as reflexões abordando o “telecinema” nos anos 1940-1950, os autores deste artigo propõem erigir o belinógrafo (que foi um dos primeiros aparelhos a permitir a transmissão de fotografias à distância de modo simples e rápido) como referência emblemática para apreender – no quadro, notadamente, de uma “arqueologia da imagem decomposta” – a televisão, o videógrafo e, mais amplamente, a imagem digital.

Objetos específicos e objetos inquietantes: provocações a partir de uma nota de rodapé
Authors: Santos Guilherme , Pugliese Vera
Published: July 2022

Olhar para o detalhe. Convite irrecusável. São, precisamente, as fraturas abertas pelos detalhes que este artigo deseja investigar. Especificamente aquela em que a Minimal Art estadunidense, com seus pressupostos teóricos e plásticos aparentemente bem delimitados, permite-nos vislumbrar inconsistências discursivas. Considerando, pois, o embate teórico engendrado a partir da querela entre as obras de Donald Judd e Robert Morris nos anos 1960, esta reflexão busca questionar os limites do argumento da especificidade da Minimal contrapondo-o à noção de objeto inquietante a partir de uma nota de rodapé no processo de historicização desse movimento artístico. É, partindo deste detalhe, que parece passar ao largo dos olhares mais atentos da crítica e da história da arte, que este texto se põe a questionar discursos de certezas que atravessam a historiografia sobre a Minimal Art, objetivando contribuir para o amplo debate acerca deste movimento.

RELAÇÕES COMERCIAIS E POLÍTICAS ENTRE BRASIL-CHINA E OS EFEITOS DA PANDEMIA DO COVID-19
Authors: Lima Maria Luíza Caputo , Veríssimo Michele Polline
Published: July 2022

Este artigo analisa as relações comerciais e políticas entre Brasil e China nos anos 2000, com ênfase no período de vigência da pandemia do Covid-19, a fim de avaliar suas contribuições para a configuração do processo de reprimarização da economia. Para isso, como metodologia, utiliza indicadores do comércio internacional para obter a relevância chinesa nos principais produtos exportados e importados pelo Brasil. Os resultados apontam a especialização comercial brasileira em bens primários, reforçada com a pandemia, o que contribui para reiterar o estado de dependência do Brasil em relação à China. Devido ao peso da profunda e assimétrica interação econômica, as relações políticas com a China são estratégicas para o Brasil – mesmo em meio às recentes conturbações políticas, os agentes brasileiros que se beneficiam da interação se debruçaram para remediar e promover relações diplomáticas entre os dois países.

Published: July 2022

Devido ao crescimento da população, a contaminação dos ecossistemas subsuperficiais com compostos orgânicos oriundos das indústrias é um problema persistente e crescente no mundo. Em contrapartida, organismos que estão disponíveis naturalmente no ambiente são elementos importantes na fitorremediação. Diante disso, este artigo teve como objetivo discutir os principais conceitos acerca da interação entre plantas e microrganismos, destacando a importância na fitorremediação na remoção de poluentes. As atividades de remediação dos hidrocarbonetos pelos microrganismos (isoladamente ou em consórcio) foram exploradas neste estudo, a fim de identificar linhagens de bactérias com melhor eficiência. A pesquisa destaca também que o estudo do microbioma da rizosfera e da endosfera são componentes dos processos de fitorremediação. Foram abordados os avanços das técnicas moleculares modernas que levam à evolução das tecnologias ômicas utilizando moléculas de ácidos nucleicos para estudar associação entre planta e microrganismo e sua importância nos sistemas de fitorremediação para biodegradação de hidrocarboneto. Conclui-se que estudos envolvendo fitorremediação são de grande relevância, uma vez que podem resultar em uma alternativa efetiva para a descontaminação de ambientes impactados e contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável.

Evaluación de la huella de agua y la gestión del recurso hídrico en las industrias
Authors: Eduard Ríos – Badilla  , Paulo Boj – Coti  , Carolina Alfaro Chinchilla
Published: July 2022

La forma en que se gestiona el recurso hídrico en las industrias puede ser de gran influencia en sus beneficios y utilidades, así como en el acceso a fondos verdes. Con el incremento de la población, la expansión agrícola y el cambio climático, el agua se ha convertido en un recurso de conflictos globales. El sector industrial es normalmente acusado de acarrear implicaciones locales y sistémicas, así como presión sobre los recursos hídricos, por lo que es necesario que las empresas desarrollen estrategias orientadas al uso eficiente del agua, así como a la generación de indicadores para afrontar futuros desafíos. En el trabajo se revisan los conceptos de huella de agua, las aproximaciones más comunes y se repasan elementos del enfoque volumétrico de la Water Footprint Network (WFN) así como la norma ISO 14046 como metodología recomendada para generar indicadores de impacto de los diferentes bienes y servicios. Se incluye una revisión de buenas prácticas ambientales, estrategias de producción más limpia y casos de éxito en la reducción del consumo de agua en las industrias. Así mismo, se reflexiona sobre la importancia de la gestión del agua para el desarrollo sostenible y la utilidad de indicadores de gestión del agua para la toma de decisiones estratégicas en las empresas. Finalmente, se considera la responsabilidad social empresarial en la gestión del agua como promotora de competitividad.

Published: July 2022

The loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus), the most widely distributed
species of the family Cobitidae, displays a mud-dwelling behavior and
intestinal air-breathing, inhabiting the muddy bottom of extensive
freshwater habitats. To investigate the genetic basis of specialized
adaptations of the loach to the benthic mud, we generated a 1.1 Gb
high-quality, chromosome-anchored genome assembly, with a contig N50 of
3.83 Mb. Multiple comparative genomic analyses found that proto-oncogene
c-Fos (fos), a regulator of bone development, is positively selected in
loach. Knockout of fos (ID: Mis0086400.1) led to severe osteopetrosis
and movement difficulties, supporting the hypothesis that fos is
involved in the emergence of loach mud-dwelling behavior. Together with
transcriptome data, we identified two key elements involved in the
intestinal air-breathing of loach: a novel gene (ID: mis0158000.1) and
heat shock protein beta-1 (hspb1). Additionally, the flavin-containing
monooxygenase 5 (fmo5) genes, central to xenobiotic metabolism,
undergone expansion in loach, and were identified as differentially

Pressure-controlled secondary flows and mixing in sheared Platonic solid particles
Authors: Hao Jiahui , Guo Yu , Yu Zhaosheng , Curtis Jennifer Sinclair
Published: July 2022

Granular materials exhibit unique secondary flow behaviors upon
shearing. We demonstrate, using particle dynamics simulations, that the
secondary flow patterns are controlled by a pressure exerted on the
particle bed. The threshold pressure, at which vortex flow transitions
to disturbed or chaotic flow, depends on particle shape, that influences
interparticle contacts and rheological performance. Our results show
that the flow patterns are essentially determined by a dimensionless
term combining the pressure and granular temperature for all the
spherical and Platonic particles explored. Particle mixing is promoted
by the vortex flow or the disturbed flow with strong diffusion. The
highest mixing rate under a specified pressure is obtained for cubic
particles, due to the remarkable microstructural ordering near the
boundaries causing a high gradient of packing density. These findings
may shed light on optimal control of granular secondary flows and mixing
by tuning the applied pressure and particle shape.

Objective. Differentiation of risk for major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (MACE) from heart failure hospitalization (HHF)/kidney disease is important when selecting glucose-lowering therapy. We investigated the ability of separate MACE and HHF risk scores to: 1) differentiate MACE from HHF risk; and 2) identify individuals more likely to benefit from glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) vs. sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). 

Research Design and Methods. We identified three trials in type 2 diabetes that reported cardiovascular outcomes stratified by Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Risk Scores for MACE (TRS-2°P) and HHF (TRS-HFDM). Pooled placebo-arm rates of HHF, MACE, and their ratio – and estimated GLP-1RA- and SGLT2i-mediated reductions in events (MACE+HHF combined) – were compared across cardiovascular risk strata in the trial populations. 

Results. HHF was less frequent than MACE at all risk levels, but rose from 18% of the MACE rate at low-intermediate HHF risk to 61% at highest HHF risk. Similarly, with increasing MACE risk, the incidence of HHF rose from 19% of the MACE incidence in those at low MACE risk to 51% in those with the highest MACE risk. GLP-1RA- and SGLT2i-mediated reductions in cardiovascular events were similar in those at low-intermediate MACE or HHF risk, but tended to favor SGLT2is at higher risk levels of both scores. 

Conclusions. A greater rise in HHF relative to MACE was observed with progressively higher cardiovascular risk, regardless of the risk score applied. Consequently, SGLT2is may offer greater overall cardiovascular protection in those at highest MACE risk, not just those at highest HHF risk.

Objective: Hybrid closed-loop (HCL) therapy is an efficacious management strategy for young people with type 1 diabetes. However, high costs prevent equitable access. We thus sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of HCL therapy in comparison to current care among young people with type 1 diabetes in Australia. 

Methods: A patient-level Markov model was constructed to simulate disease progression for young people with type 1 diabetes using HCL therapy versus current care, with follow-up from 12 until 25 years of age. Downstream health and economic consequences were compared via decision analysis. Treatment-effects and proportions using different technologies to define ‘current care’ were based primarily on data from an Australian pediatric randomized controlled trial. Transition probabilities and utilities for health states were sourced from published studies. Costs were considered from the Australian healthcare system’s perspective. An annual discount rate of 5% was applied to future costs and outcomes. Uncertainty was evaluated with probabilistic and deterministic sensitivity analyses.

Results: Use of HCL therapy resulted in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of Australian Dollars (AUD) $32,789 per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. The majority of simulations (93.3%) were below the commonly accepted willingness-to-pay threshold of AUD $50,000 per QALY gained in Australia. Sensitivity analyses indicated that the base-case results were robust. 

Conclusions: In this first cost-effectiveness analysis of HCL technologies for the management of young people with type 1 diabetes, HCL therapy was found to be cost-effective when compared to current care in Australia.
LongitudinalIn VitroEffects of Silver Diamine Fluoride on Early Enamel Caries Lesions

Published: July 2022

This laboratory study evaluated the longitudinal surface microhardness changes in early, incipient, noncavitated, white-spot, enamel caries lesions treated with silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Five intervention groups (SDF, AgNO3, KF, 5% sodium fluoride varnish (FV), deionized water (DI)) × two-time intervals after intervention (immediate & delayed pH-cycling) resulted in 10 groups (n=18). Silver nitrate (AgNO3) and potassium fluoride (KF) groups served as controls to assist in evaluating if remineralization effects were due to the silver or fluoride component in SDF. Early, incipient, noncavitated, white-spot, enamel caries lesions were created in bovine enamel, the extent of demineralization was determined using Vickers surface microhardness (VHNlesion). Intervention treatments were applied. Half the specimens from each group underwent immediate 5-day pH-cycling, and half were stored in an incubator with artificial saliva for 2 weeks before undergoing 5-day pH-cycling. After pH-cycling, lesion hardness was evaluated using VHNpost. Specimens were then exposed to a second demineralization challenge, and lesion softening was evaluated (VHNsecdem). Hardness variables were calculated: ΔVHN = VHNpost - VHNlesion; ΔVHNsecdem = VHNsecdem - VHNpost. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA (α=0.05). Immediately cycled, SDF had significantly (p<0.0001) greater remineralization than DI, AgNO3, and FV. All delayed cycling groups had significantly greater remineralization than FV (p<0.0001). Significantly greater remineralization was noted in delayed AgNO3 (p≤0.0001), DI (p=0.0003), and FV (p=0.0006) compared to immediately cycled. After the second demineralization challenge, FV had significantly less surface softening than AgNO3 (p=0.0002), DI (p=0.0003), KF (p=0.0225), and SDF (p=0.0388) intervention groups. No significant difference was found between the pH-cycle timings (p=0.2710). Based the present findings, FV may be better suited than SDF to treat early, incipient, noncavitated, white-spot, enamel caries lesions.

Authors: Fang X , Wu X , Levey C , Chen Z , Hua F , Zhang L
Published: July 2022

Objective

To assess the presence and characteristics of spin in recently published RCT abstracts in operative dentistry and to investigate potential factors associated with the presence of spin.

Methods and Materials

The PubMed database was searched to identify parallel-group RCTs published between 2015 and 2019 in the field of operative dentistry, which compared two or more groups and had nonsignificant results for the primary outcome. Two authors evaluated independently the presence and characteristics of spin among these abstracts. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with the presence of spin in the Results and the Conclusions sections, respectively.

Results

A total of 77 RCT abstracts were included, among which 58 (75.3%) showed at least one type of spin. Spin was identified in the Results and Conclusions sections of 32 (41.6%) and 45 (58.4%) abstracts, respectively. 19 RCTs (24.7%) presented spin in both the Results and the Conclusions section of abstracts. The presence of spin in the Results section of abstracts was significantly associated with source of funding (OR=8.10; p=0.025) and number of treatment arms was associated with the presence of spin in the Conclusions section of abstracts (OR=5.66; p=0.005).

Conclusion

The occurrence rate of spin in the sample of operative dentistry RCTs abstracts is high.
