ESTRATIFICAÇÃO DE RISCO DAS CONDIÇÕES CRÔNICAS NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE: A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA PSICOLOGIA
Authors: Dos Santos Neto Cicero Gomes , Silva Barbosa Maria Idalice
Published: November 2019

A construção do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a Reforma Psiquiátrica no Brasil geraram novos espaços para a atuação dos profissionais de psicologia e a necessidade de refletir sobre suas práticas. Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar a percepção do psicólogo na atenção primária à saúde (APS) em Tauá-CE sobre seu papel diante dos usuários com condições crônicas estratificadas. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa. Participaram do estudo 4 psicólogas que trabalhavam na APS do município. Aplicou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada e um grupo focal para coleta de informações, mediante gravação. Os dados foram submetidos a análise do conteúdo categorial, que originou as seguintes categorias: 1) Percepção da organização da atenção primar ia à saúde em Tauá; e 2) Percepção das contribuições da psicologia no controle das condições crônicas estratificadas. Os profissionais reconheceram a importância da estratificação de risco para o acompanhamento e direcionamento das ações, porém, não se constatou quais são os parâmetros adotados na linha de cuidado a partir do grau de risco identificado para as condições crônicas, tampouco qual é a contribuição específica do psicólogo com o acompanhamento desses usuários, diferenciando sua abordagem a partir do grau de risco identificado por meio da estratificação realizada pela planificação da APS em Tauá.

Authors: Carlos Araujo Silva Jefferson , Santos da Silva Kamila , Martins Neto Carlos , Cristinny Araujo Silva Thalita , Soares de Campos Alexandre
Published: November 2019

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a inclusão do profissional de educação física (PEF) na atenção primária à saúde (APS). Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, realizada com publicações do período entre 2008 e 2018 e buscas nas bases MedLine, SciELO, Lilacs, PubMed e Google Acadêmico, por meio dos seguintes descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS): educação física, atenção primária à saúde, inclusão e promoção da saúde. A palavra-chave atenção básica foi considerada sinônimo do DeCS atenção primária à saúde. Foram identificados 67 artigos com a temática desta revisão; após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 10 artigos. Os estudos revelaram deficiência na formação do PEF em relação às temáticas da APS. Ressaltou-se o estímulo a estratégias como o Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde), que visam a suprir a carência de disciplinas específicas nos currículos de graduação em Educação Física, colocando o PEF em contato com a promoção da saúde desde esse nível de formação. Constatou-se que a atuação do PEF na APS deve abranger a prevenção de doenças crônico-degenerativas não transmissíveis e as ações de educação em saúde.

Authors: Da Silva Pires Vinicius
Published: November 2019

O transtorno do espectro autista (TEA), antes considerado um distúrbio raro, passou a ter prevalência maior do que o câncer infantil, o diabetes e a síndrome de Down. Nos últimos anos houve crescimento exponencial do número de pesquisas sobre fatores ambientais associados ao TEA, dentre os quais se destacam os estudos epidemiológicos de associação entre TEA e timerosal contido em vacinas (TCV). O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o progresso desses estudos e verificar se há consenso entre os pesquisadores. As bases MedLine e Scopus e a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) foram consultadas para identificar artigos publicados entre 2000 e 2017, adotando como termos de busca (em língua inglesa): “thimerosal”; “thiomersal”; “ethilmercury”; “autism spectrum disorder”; e “autism”. Dezesseis artigos foram selecionados por meio da leitura de títulos e textos. Observou-se que não houve consenso entre os pesquisadores dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) sobre a associação entre timerosal e TEA, entretanto, todos os autores dos demais países concluíram não haver essa associação.

Published: November 2019

Este artigo descreve a experiência de estudantes de Enfermagem no que se refere à sobrecarga do cuidador de idosos. Trata-se de relato de experiência cujo cenário consistiu no domicílio de idosos de um município de médio porte na região da Fronteira Oeste do Rio Grande do Sul, com visitas domiciliares aos idosos. As visitas foram realizadas em 3 encontros, em abril e maio de 2017, com 7 famílias de idosos indicadas por Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). O cuidador do idoso se mostra fundamental para sanar dúvidas da equipe de saúde. Nas 7 famílias visitadas, os cuidadores, todos do sexo feminino, relataram sentir-se sozinhos no cuidado ao idoso. Observou-se necessidade de: monitorar o uso de medicação e a pressão arterial; realizar consultas periódicas; e proporcionar ajuda nas atividades diárias. Nas visitas domiciliares, constatou-se que a sobrecarga do cuidador assume diferentes formas, tanto psicológicas como físicas. Nesse sentido, mostra-se necessário que os profissionais da saúde tenham um olhar voltado à integralidade do cuidado ao idoso, que também engloba a atenção à saúde do cuidador.

Published: November 2019

A gravidez e puerpério compreendem períodos permeados de alterações, muitas vezes rodeada por vulnerabilidades sociais. Assim, estratégias que potencializem o apoio social, durante este período tornam-se essenciais. Este estudo objetivou conhecer as vivências de puérperas assistidas por mães sociais e sua percepção quanto ao apoio recebido. Pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório-descritivo, realizada com dez mulheres acompanhadas por mães sociais da Estratégia Trevo de Quatro Folhas, em Sobral, Ceará, no período de janeiro a julho de 2015. Este trabalho seguiu a resolução 466/12 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Foi possível identificar que as mulheres consideram que não teriam capacidade de enfrentar o momento puerperal sozinhas, sendo gratas as mães sociais pela sua assistência, além da fazerem analogia de uma relação consanguínea. Sobre o trabalho dessas, julgam ser eficientes, experientes e sua presença passa segurança. Contudo, o trabalho das mães sociais representa um diferencial na tentativa de diminuir os riscos da mortalidade materna e infantil, auxiliando nos casos de perigo e ensinando as famílias no cuidado com os seus filhos.
EMERGÊNCIA DE UM “CAMPO DE AÇÃO ESTRATÉGICA”: ORDENAMENTO DA FORMAÇÃO E EDUCAÇÃO PERMANENTE EM SAÚDE
Authors: Burg Ceccim Ricardo
Published: November 2019

Trata-se de um ensaio teórico, extraído de um estudo de caso em análise de políticas públicas, do qual o autor foi avaliador em diferentes etapas (da proposição de pesquisa à relatoria científica). Aborda a Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde como caso singular ao surgimento, na política pública de saúde brasileira, de um “Campo de Ação Estratégica”, segundo os termos da Teoria dos Campos, de Neil Fligstein. De uma política nacional a um campo de ação estratégica, distinguiram-se a habilidade social dos atores da formulação da política, a condição de abranger uma rede de interações novas, segundo o compartilhamento/identificação na trama social de desdobramento da política, e a emergência de atores na sociedade. A estabilização da política se deu mesmo em face das substituições de projeto no governo e da substituição dos atores de formulação da política. A Educação Permanente em Saúde se apresentou como projeto conceitual e operacional de compreensão rápida, com potencial de comunicação e tradução social, além de identificação como bandeira de luta por uma educação com os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde.

Authors: Ambari Yani
Published: November 2019

Daun salam telah digunakan oleh masyarakat sebagai obat antidiare yang berlandaskan pada pengetahuan empiris. Selain itu, dikarenakan penyebaran daun salam cukup banyak di Indonesia dan mudah diperoleh oleh semua kalangan masyarakat menyebabkan daun ini dapat dijadikan salah satu alternatif pengobatan antidiare. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aktivitas antidiare pada ekstrak etanol daun salam (Eugenia polyantha Wight) pada mencit putih jantan (Mus musculus) yang diinduksi dengan minyak jarak, untuk mengetahui perbandingan aktivitas antidiare ekstrak daun salam (Eugenia polyantha Wight) pada beberapa dosis tertentu pada mencit putih jantan (Mus musculus) yang diinduksi dengan minyak jarak serta untuk mengetahui harga ED50 dari ekstrak etanol daun salam (Eugenia polyantha Wight) dengan menggunakan anaisis probit. Jenis penelitian uji aktivitas antidiare ini adalah eksperimental laboratoris. Pada penelitian ini bahan yang digunakan adalah suspensi ekstrak etanol daun salam dengan dosis 100 mg/kgBB; 200 mg/kgBB; 400 mg/kgBB; 800 mg/kgBB dan Loperamide HCl dosis 1.3 mg/kgBB. Loperamide HCl disini berfungsi sebagai pembanding (kontrol positif) sedangkan suspensi ekstrak etanol daun salam dosis 100 mg/kgBB; 200 mg/kgBB; 400 mg/kgBB; 800 mg/kgBB digunakan sebagai kelompok uji. Subyek yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah mencit putih jantan Balb-C dengan jumlah 24 ekor, yang dibagi menjadi 6 kelompok yaitu kelompok kontrol positif dan kontrol negatif, kelompok uji I, uji II, uji III dan uji IV. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode Bass yang termodifikasi yaitu dengan menggunakan “castor oil–induced diarrhea” atau metode diare yang diinduksi oleh minyak jarak (Olleum Riccini). Perubahan konsistensi feses, frekuensi defekasi dan bobot feses merupakan parameter yang diteliti pada uji aktivitas antidiare. Dari nilai frekuensi defekasi dan bobot feses maka selanjutnya dapat dianalisis dengan One Way ANOVA dengan taraf kepercayaan 95% serta uji probit untuk melihat ED50. Berdasarkan hasil dari ketiga parameter tersebut maka dapat dilihat bahwa daun salam memiliki aktivitas antidiare. Aktivitas antidiare terbesar terdapat pada daun salam dengan dosis 800 mg/kgBB karena aktivitas antidiarenya tidak berbeda signifikan dengan kontrol positif (Loperamide HCl).

Published: November 2019

Surface modifications of nanoporous metals have become a highly attractive research field as they exhibit great potential for various applications, especially in biotechnology. Using self-assembled monolayers is one of the most promising approaches to modify a gold surface. However, only few techniques are capable of characterizing the formation of these monolayers on porous substrates. Here, we present a method to in situ monitor the adsorption and desorption of self-assembled monolayers on nanoporous gold by resistometry, using cysteine as example. During the adsorption an overall relative change in resistance of 18% is detected, which occurs in three distinct stages. First, the cysteine molecules are adsorbed on the outer surface. In the second stage, they are adsorbed on the internal surfaces and in the last stage the reordering accompanied by additional adsorption takes place. The successful binding of cysteine on the Au surface was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry, which showed a significant decrease of the double-layer capacitance. Also, the electrochemically controlled desorption of cysteine was monitored by concomitant in situ resistometry. From the desorption peak related to the (111) surface of the structure, which is associated with a resistance change of 4.8%, an initial surface coverage of 0.48 monolayers of cysteine could be estimated.
MORE IS LESS? THE CURVILINEAR EFFECTS OF POLITICAL TIES ON CORPORATE INNOVATION PERFORMANCE
Authors: Yu Mingchuan , Lu Yujie , Li Chao , Lin Han , Shapira Philip
Published: November 2019

Previous research has explored the impact of political ties on corporate innovation performance, yet with controversial results. This study proposes that political ties has a curvilinear impact on innovation performance, and the resulting curvilinear relationship is moderated by absorptive capacity and external environment. We conduct examination based on a survey among Chinese manufacturing firms, which demonstrates an inverted U-shape relationship between political ties and corporate innovation performance. This inverted U-shape relationship is moderated by the absorptive capacity, which means the positive effect of political ties on corporate innovation performance is strong when the absorptive capacity of a firm is high. Furthermore, political ties, absorptive capacity and external environment (i.e. dynamism, munificence, and complexity) have a three-way interactive effect on corporate innovation, which means firms with strong political ties exhibit the highest innovation performance when their absorptive capacity and external environmental condition (dynamism or munificence or complexity) stand at high level simultaneously. The research findings provide a comprehensive understanding for firms, especially for those with different characteristics and under different external environments, to exploit political ties to facilitate corporate innovation performance.

Using Elliptical Fourier Descriptor Analysis (EFDA) to Quantify Titan Lake Morphology
Authors: Dhingra Rajani D. , Barnes Jason W. , Hedman Matthew M. , Radebaugh Jani
Published: November 2019

We use the elliptical Fourier descriptor analysis (EFDA) to quantify the shapes of Titan’s lakes to technically demonstrate the use of this methodology in planetary morphometry. We map the lakes on Titan’s north pole and find that the equivalent radii of 224 lakes follow a relatively narrow log-normal distribution like Earth’s thermokarst lakes and Io’s volcanic paterae, indicating a limited number of formation processes. Then, we quantify the shapes of lakes using EFDA. The Fourier analysis decomposes the shape of a lake into multiple Fourier series, and the corresponding coefficients represent a fingerprint of the lake shape. After testing the methodology on synthetic lakes and two kinds of terrestrial lakes, we analyze 67 Titan lake shapes on the north pole of Titan. We find that the majority of shape variation in Titan’s lakes is from circular to elliptical followed by lakes with significant asymmetries along their short axis and long axis. We also find that a few lakes on Titan like Myvatn, Xolotlan, Sotonera, Viedma, Muggel, and Neagh Lacus have very distinctive shapes. Letas Lacus is an extreme outlier among the shapes of Titan lakes with an intruding island. This demonstration shows the promise of the elliptical Fourier descriptor approach for testing hypotheses for Titan lake formation. Our statistical analysis divides the Titan north polar lakes into four clean shape-based groups hereby indicating possible four formation mechanisms or four stages of formation of Titan’s lakes. Uneven subsequent modification of the lakes could be another reason for the differences, which might be a result of different ages.
Low-frequency Variability in Massive Stars: Core Generation or Surface Phenomenon?
Authors: Lecoanet Daniel , Cantiello Matteo , Quataert Eliot , Couston Louis-Alexandre , Burns Keaton J. , Pope Benjamin J. S. , Jermyn Adam S. , Favier Benjamin , Bars Michael Le
Published: November 2019

Bowman et al. reported low-frequency photometric variability in 164 O- and B-type stars observed with K2 and TESS. They interpret these motions as internal gravity waves, which could be excited stochastically by convection in the cores of these stars. The detection of internal gravity waves in massive stars would help distinguish between massive stars with convective or radiative cores, determine core size, and would provide important constraints on massive star structure and evolution. In this work, we study the observational signature of internal gravity waves generated by core convection. We calculate the wave transfer function, which links the internal gravity wave amplitude at the base of the radiative zone to the surface luminosity variation. This transfer function varies by many orders of magnitude for frequencies ≲1 days−1, and has regularly spaced peaks near 1 days−1 due to standing modes. This is inconsistent with the observed spectra that have smooth “red noise” profiles, without the predicted regularly spaced peaks. The wave transfer function is only meaningful if the waves stay predominately linear. We next show that this is the case: low-frequency traveling waves do not break unless their luminosity exceeds the radiative luminosity of the star; the observed luminosity fluctuations at high frequencies are so small that standing modes would be stable to nonlinear instability. These simple calculations suggest that the observed low-frequency photometric variability in massive stars is not due to internal gravity waves generated in the core of these stars. We finish with a discussion of (sub)surface convection that produces low-frequency variability in low-mass stars; this is very similar to that observed in Bowman et al. in higher-mass stars.

Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the most frequently found cancer among men around the world and is is the main cause of cancer deaths. The occurrence of lung cancer is particularly associated with smoking habit around men, along with environmental tobacco smoke in the workplace. It is diagnosed in patients with the varied clinical and demographical profile.
AIM: We aimed to determine the clinical profile of men with non-small cell lung cancer in Adam Malik Hospital Medan based on age, smoking habits, occupation, clinical symptoms, clinical stage, and type of lung cancer histopathology
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a descriptive study using medical record from 2012 to 2015 of all men with non-small cell lung cancer at Adam Malik Hospital Medan, Indonesia
RESULTS: Most men with lung cancer are aged 51-60 years old (43.5%) and work like entrepreneurs. More than 80% of men with lung cancer are heavy smokers. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, and 2/3 of lung cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage.
CONCLUSION: Lung cancer occurs most often in active smokers in the age group above 50 years. The most dominant type of histopathology is adenocarcinoma and is frequently diagnosed in the late stages.
Potencial de correlación estratigráfica de los paleopasciquínidos del Ediacárico
Authors: Kolesnikov A. V.
Published: November 2019

Durante más de cuarenta años, los paleopasciquínidos han representado un grupo enigmático de fósiles macroscópicos, caracterizados por diferencias sustanciales en la conservación, lo que no conduce a un diagnóstico consistente de estos organismos. Los fósiles de paleopasciquínidos se encuentran distribuidos globalmente en las secuencias ediacáricas de la Plataforma de Europa Oriental, Avalonia, China meridional, Siberia y Australia. A la luz de una nueva perspectiva para reanimar el “Véndico” como una serie superior formal del Sistema Ediacárico, los paleopasciquínidos son probablemente el único grupo fósil ediacárico cuyo rango estratigráfico abarca casi toda la “Serie del Véndico”. Además, se ha considerado que los paleopasciquínidos se encuentran entre los macroorganismos más antiguos conocidos con un esqueleto aglutinado; su presencia enfatiza este grupo en términos de bioestratigrafía y correlación geológica ediacárica y allana el camino para la reexaminación de otros fósiles esqueléticos de tipo paleopasciquínido.

Published: November 2019

Promoting the reform of teacher professional development (TPD) in the digital era using web-based learning (online and blended learning) appears to be a great innovation in improving teachers skills using technology through computers and Internet networks. Some research revealed that online learn-ing on TPD influences on improving teacher performance; however, the effect had no better results compared to traditional learning. Hence, this study evaluating the policy by examining the effects of web-based learning model, i.e., online and blended learning, and face to face approach on the scores achieved in teacher training. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design with pre-post non-equivalent group design of the intact teacher training program. The participants were 427,189 teachers covering all school levels in Indonesia. Findings suggest that the web-based learning model is more effective in teacher achievement than the f2f, while the female tends to be better than male. Hence, digital constraint is not an obstacle for the teacher in the web-based model. Interestingly, blended learning that emerged as a new trend in e-learning proved to be quite promising. These findings provide considerations for the development of a policy for an appropriate TPD model for teachers at different levels.
Integrating Digital Technology in the School Curriculum

Published: November 2019

This article aims to challenge and interrogate the concept of integration of digital technology in the curriculum. We set the stage for the discussion taking the no-tion of curriculum and discussing the way teachers take it as a mediating tool and structuring resource for teaching. In the next step we engage in the discussion of learning as transformative participation in school social practices and locate digital technology within that problematic. We then go into the key claim of the article arguing for the myth of integration of digital technology in the curriculum. This provides the background for the formulation of a set of principles that would support the development of a framework for digital technology in education and contextual guidelines. To close we provide examples of topics under-represented in the research that are crucial to support such a framework.

Published: November 2019

Arbitration of Talented Students System (ATSS) provides a simple interface for Arbitrator and students to add the talent and evaluate it. It can be used by educational institutes or colleges to evaluate the talented students easily. This methodology depends on ten criteria that are used by arbitrator to evaluate the talent to increasing productivity and efficiency, and also reduce the time and effort in arbitration talent. The proposed methodology allows talented students to follow his talent using a code which is generated automatically by the system. The administrator of the system can accept/reject the talent depending on arbitrator evaluation and his notes. This paper describes all the benefits of the system. It also gives idea about the complete development stages of the system and adapting of the system in the Shaqra University and its impact on the working by developing performance and supporting university in its orientation towards electronic administration.

The data of students problem solving ability was acquired through given test both prior to and after the implementation of metacognitive skill-based learning model (MSBL model) for stoichiometry and chemical equilibrium materials. Problem solving skill was measured using four indicators, consist of; understanding problem, Devising, implementing the plan and evaluating result. The overall students problem solving ability are classically categorized as good in each time of measurement providing the number of students with high minimum category were fewer than 60%. The results indicate the improvement of student’s ability to understand, to plan, to implement, and to evaluate the problem solving result gradually from prior to stoichiometry study, after the stoichiometry study, prior to chemical equilibrium study and after the chemical equilibrium study. Therefore, the students of chemistry education require time to be able to solve problems well
From the Second World to Global South?
Authors: Ahlness Ellen A.
Published: November 2019

Tajikistan has experienced numerous barriers to economic and political development over the past 100 years. Pressured into joining the Soviet Union, which lasted nearly 70 years, Tajikistan sank into a civil war upon achieving its independence. This resulted in numerous deaths, displacement, and infrastructural devastation. Since the conflict, Tajikistan has experienced tremendous economic growth and positive social developments; however, Western media overwhelmingly focuses on isolated incidences of violence and socioeconomic trends that casts Tajikistan in a negative light. This also creates a “horn effect” that frames the Tajik socioeconomic situation as underdeveloped and lacking freedoms. A narrative analysis of stories on Tajikistan from the United States' top 10 news outlets from 1998 to 2018 portrays unrepresentative and paternal pictures of Tajikistan's political, economic, and social developments.
Body Abjectification as a Tool to Represent Poverty in Black Africa
Authors: Endong Floribert Patrick C.
Published: November 2019

Many human rights activists and West-based INGOs have entrenched the questionable culture of using pathetic and socially pornographic images to boost their advertising, mobilization and fundraising campaigns aimed at tackling social problems in Africa. The images deployed by these advocacy entities most often function as double edged swords: they do not only capture the wisdom and rhetoric marketed by the campaign organizers but sometimes subtly act as negative symbols or metaphors of the African continent. Many of these visuals as used in posters and ad copies subliminally abjectify Africans, thereby reinforcing the myriad of decades-old myths and stereotypes of the continent and its people – notably abject poverty, famine, illiteracy, and backwardness, among others. This chapter illustrates the above-mentioned thesis through a semiotic analysis of posters and image-based ads recently deployed by some West-based civil society organizations during the Nigeria-born #BringBackOurGirl movement. The chapter specifically illustrates how the visuals and anchorages used in the #BringBackOurGirl posters hyperbolically abjectify and denigrate African people, associating them with old-age stereotypes.
Positionality and Commercialization of Political Content in US, UK Media Coverage of African Elections
Authors: Obi Paul
Published: November 2019

Democracy, as the argument goes, has assumed a media character in the midst of mediatization of global politics. This has become more glaring in media coverage of politics vis-a-vis elections. In a way, it has fundamentally ignited the debate on media imagery and projection of power. Overall, the coverage to a large extent is particularistic in a sense as western media re-enacts the social realities of the global south to western audience. This chapter therefore argues that at the very core of this pattern of western media coverage of the global south, specifically, African elections, lies the positionality of issues and the commercialization of political contents. A recurring decimal of this coverage of African elections is the dominance of commercial contents over political journalism, mediatization, democratization, and political contents. The chapter also extrapolates the degree to which western media position African elections in a commercialized way and the implications of such media construction on political communication.
Beautifying Controversial African Politicians Through Metaphors
Authors: Essoh Grace Eugenie Ndobo
Published: November 2019

This chapter critically analyses the use of conceptual metaphors in selected Cameroonian newspapers articles aimed at beautifying or criticizing President Paul Biya and his aides. The selected articles covered a 2018 US-Cameroon diplomatic crisis triggered by US Ambassador's advice to Biya to relinquish power. In the light of a textual analysis of the corpus, the chapter argues that journalists and citizen journalists whose articles were considered for this study portrayed Biya and his close aides along a variety of metaphors. Positivity or negativity in the metaphors used in the media text generally depended on their authors' tones and editorial policies. The pro-government and neutral media voices (notably Cameroon Tribune and Mutations) mostly used metaphors such as nation building (representing Biya as an accomplished nation builder) and scaling (by which Biya and his aides were judged or rated high above standards). Meanwhile, anti-government media outlets (such as Cameroon Concords, Cameroon Post, Le Messager and Bareta News) used such metaphors as bestiality, scatology/garbage, theatre, oppression, transgression, and sickness/handicap among others, to criticize Biya's rule.
Global Evocations of South-Ness Online
Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: November 2019

To understand mass evocations of the Global South and its depiction via formal and informal media, it may help to capture a sense of the human massmind by using some mass-scale methods: mass search data, text search data from a mass digitized published-text corpus, related tag networks from social imagery, article-article networks from a crowd-sourced encyclopedia, and hashtag tweetstreams. It may help to contrast the sense of “south-ness” with those of “north-ness,” “east-ness,” and “west-ness,” given how people maintain mental models of regions and places—in terms of peoples, cultures, values, social practices, languages, and other dimensions. This data-heavy, bottom-up coding approach, based on grounded theory, enables the creation of mass-scale glimpses and ephemera, through the indirection of verbal and visual inferences at web scale.
Association Rule-Mining-Based Intrusion Detection System With Entropy-Based Feature Selection
Authors: Sellappan Devaraju , Srinivasan Ramakrishnan
Published: November 2019

Intrusion detection system (IDSs) are important to industries and organizations to solve the problems of networks, and various classifiers are used to classify the activity as malicious or normal. Today, the security has become a decisive part of any industrial and organizational information system. This chapter demonstrates an association rule-mining algorithm for detecting various network intrusions. The KDD dataset is used for experimentation. There are three input features classified as basic features, content features, and traffic features. There are several attacks are present in the dataset which are classified into Denial of Service (DoS), Probe, Remote to Local (R2L), and User to Root (U2R). The proposed method gives significant improvement in the detection rates compared with other methods. Association rule mining algorithm is proposed to evaluate the KDD dataset and dynamic data to improve the efficiency, reduce the false positive rate (FPR) and provides less time for processing.
Influence of Neighborhood Forms on the Quality of Pseudorandom Number Generators' Work Based on Cellular Automata
Authors: Bilan Sergii
Published: November 2019

The chapter analyzes modern methods for constructing pseudo-random number generators based on cellular automata. Also analyzes the influence of neighborhood forms on the evolution of the functioning of cellular automata, as well as on the quality of the formation of pseudo-random bit sequences. Based on the use of various forms of the neighborhood for the XOR function, the quality of generators was analyzed using graphical tests and NIST tests. As a result of experimental studies, the optimal dimension of cellular automata and the number of heterogeneous cells were determined, which make it possible to obtain a high-quality pseudo-random bit sequence. The obtained results allowed to formulate a method for constructing high-quality pseudo-random number generators based on cellular automata, as well as to determine the necessary initial conditions for generators. The proposed generators allow to increase the length of the repetition period of a pseudo-random bit sequence.
A Secure Iris Biometric Recognition System
Authors: Gupta Richa , Sehgal Priti
Published: November 2019

Security-related issues are creeping in almost every authentication problem. Even the secured systems may be exposed to unknown attacks. While addressing one aspect of security, one tends to forget how vulnerable our system is to other attacks. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the impact of these attacks completely and also to get a vision of the hazard they may put when combined together. In this chapter, the authors focus on two such attacks on iris biometric: replay attack and template attack. They provide a detailed analysis of current research work on each of it individually. The comparative study of solutions to these individual attacks is done with the techniques that aim at combining these two attacks. The authors clearly bring out the advantages of the latter approach, which is the driving force in need for a shift to more innovative ideas.
