Hard Working Covers

“… A good archaeological report not only informs us about the strata from which findings originate, but also gives an account of the strata which first had to be broken through.” (Walter Benjamin. Excavation and Memory, ca. 1932. Analog materials are fundamental to my research. As part of my art practice, I tear, cut, rip, fold, and glue together printed images of the masculine performance and the male body to un-masc and reveal its fragility. During the making process what’s usually left behind is a jumble of non-representational refuse—mainly text, backgrounds, and devices used on a page, in a magazine or a book. During the first New Zealand COVID lockdown in 2020, I had limited access to new collage material, apart from a few books left behind in the car. As a result, my attention shifted to the leftovers which otherwise ended up in the recycle bin. These discarded bits illustrated a gendered language, because the material I use was intended for a male audience. It endorsed muscle, size, competing, violence, and whatever else you might expect from the fiction, advertisement, and revealing pages that promote so-called ‘maleness’, like film annuals, muscle magazines, sports, and printed adult magazines among others. Some of these books were donated, many reclaimed from opportunity and recycle shops as they were withdrawn from personal, public, and university libraries. Almost all the book covers used in the project had their own stories imprinted on both sides. These “marks” revealed their origins, recounted their lives, and relayed the strain they had to endure from countless readers, and of course myself! By incorporating printed words from a visual discourse, these new collages demand a reconsideration of text and meaning— they hint, but at the same time complicate the textual decoding process. Sourced from the refuse of a printed culture, these works attempt to reconstruct material and visual culture— a culture consumed by attention seeking and power. They focus on their own materiality, and at the same time, attempt to disrupt order, and reveal their embedded meaning. They reconfigure meaning to recount and re-present themselves. Resurrected, these assembled works are aching to go back to the library shelf and re-enter circulation in a new format. –– “Hard Working Covers” is an ongoing project which brings together 90 one-off handmade analog collages on hardbound book covers and compile them in 300 limited edition concertina books. The foldout format of the publication will reveal not only the front of the works, but also their back(sides).

THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF THE SECESSIONIST CRISIS IN CAMEROON
Authors: MATEȘ Roxana
Published: January 2022

The article aims to illustrate the evolution and international reactions to the current secessionist crisis in Cameroon. Firstly, the anglophone crisis is presented as the result of a minority’s identification with a colonially inherited identity, as well as the consequence of the regime’s authoritarian style and constant exclusion of the anglophone elites from the structure of power. Secondly, the article concentrates on analyzing the reactions of various organizations, institutions and states regarding the Cameroonian secessionist conflict. However, although there are certain minor measures which have been taken against Cameroon, the actions of the international community are still below the expectations of the anglophones, who are the ones directly affected by both the government’s and separatists’ use of extreme violence. In addition, the international support for the fight against terrorism in the region is perceived with suspicion due to the double security crisis the country is facing.

LA RÉPRESSION, FACTEUR D’ANNIHILIATION DU TERRORISME OU DE SA RADICALISATION ? LE CAS DU CONFLIT BASQUE
Authors: GUIBET LAFAYE Caroline
Published: January 2022

Represion, way of anihilating terrorism or of radicalizing it? The case of the Basque conflict. Faced with a terrorist movement, the authoritarian or democratic power deploys a repressive response. At certain times, it was massive against the armed group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA). To study its effects on the group’s operationality, we used two original databases (ETA actions, arrests of its activists). Statistical analysis underlines that the most intense deployments of police repression had a radicalising effect on the Basque national liberation movement, whether under authoritarian or democratic regimes until at least the 1980s, and that this radicalisation phenomenon does not occur at the end of a protest cycle as a backlash against its exhaustion. The effectiveness of repression is only real when it is not only police-related but also judicial, and when it is supported by transnational cooperation.
U.S. – CHINA RELATIONS THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOCIAL-CONSTRUCTIVISM
Authors: BADEA Catalin
Published: January 2022

The twentieth century was marked, especially in its second part, by the rivalry of the United States and the Soviet Union, a rivalry that prompted many analysts to devise theories about this seemingly perpetual bi-polar international system. Yet after 1989 these theories crumbled under the seemingly unexpected dissolution of one of the two poles of the system, and thus new theories emerged, trying to better explain what was happening. One such theory, the Social-Constructivist one, tried to argue that identities, ideas and the way in which these are constructed also play a pivotal role in international relations. In the pages below I will try to analyze what is emerging to be a similarly century-defining rivalry, the one between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, through the ‘lens’ of Social-Constructivism, to find out if the theory laid out by Alexander Wendt almost three decades ago can still aptly explain the world of today.

Authors: Ma Yayun , Liu Mei , Li Jiao , Li Xuanyi , Yang Zongqi
Published: January 2022

In this paper, spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), rod-shape AuNPs and triangular AuNPs were synthesized using CTAB as the coating reagent, and their bactericidal properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were studied. By the plate count method and turbidity method, the minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) and the minimum bacteriostasis concentrations (MIC) to the two kinds of bacteria were determined. The MIC of rod-shape AuNPs, triangular AuNPs and spherical AuNPs to E. coli were 0.65 μg/mL, 3.71 μg/mL, 21.21 μg/mL, and MBC were 1.30 μg/mL, 11.09 μg/mL, 21.21 μg/mL, respectively. The MIC to S. aureus were 0.26 μg/mL, 0.56 μg/mL, 2.65 μg/mL, while MBC were 0.52 μg/mL, 1.11 μg/mL, 2.65 μg/mL, respectively. The results showed that the bactericidal effect of rod-shape AuNPs on E. coli and S. aureus was higher than that of the other two forms, and the bactericidal effect of three different forms of AuNPs on S. aureus was better than that on E. coli.

Published: January 2022

In order to explore the influence of the ferroelectric surface on the structure and properties of semiconductor oxides, the growth of CdS nanocrystals was regulated and controlled by taking single-crystal perovskite PbTiO3 nanosheets as the substrate through a simple hydrothermal method. Through composition design, a series of PbTiO3-CdS nanocomposite materials with different loading concentrations were prepared, and their microstructure and photocatalytic properties were systematically analyzed. Studies show that in the prepared product, CdS nanoparticles selectively grow on the surfaces of PbTiO3 nanosheets, and their morphology is affected by the exposed surfaces of PbTiO3 nanosheets. There is a clear interface between the PbTiO3 substrate and CdS nanoparticles. The concentration of the initial reactant and the time of hydrothermal reaction also significantly affect the crystal morphology of CdS. Photocatalysis studies have shown that the prepared PbTiO3-CdS nanocomposite material has a significant degradation effect on 10 mg/L of Rhodamine B aqueous solution. The degradation efficiency rises with the increase of CdS loading concentration. When degrading 10 mg/L Rhodamine B aqueous solution, the PbTiO3-CdS sample with a mass fraction of 3% can reach a degradation rate of 72% within 120 min.

Vocational education and training (VET in Australia, PVET in Europe), as a unified endeavour, has to balance the comparative wealth of the peak universities with the needs of the community and young people for the employabilty that VET can provide. VET needs to promote its scope and strengths collectively and individually, and we analyse some of them. The subtext is that the paper highlights the features of leading institutions on which institutions can model their future development. There is no one unewuivocal model of course, so this paper senitises leaders to salient issues.
Fit and Pressure Comfort Evaluation on a Virtual Prototype of a Tight-Fit Cycling Shirt
Authors: Teyeme Yetanawork , Malengier Benny , Tesfaye Tamrat , Vasile Simona , Van Langenhove Lieva
Published: January 2022

Graduated compression is widely used for medical application to prevent perioperative venous thromboembolism, but other applications such as sportswear can potentially also benefit from it. A tight-fit cycling shirt meant to ensure the correct position during cycling and prevent injuries was designed. The aim of this study was to improve garment pattern design from the aspect of clothing pressure for providing support and enhancing comfort to the user. This paper investigates the suitability of pressure maps from 3D fashion design software CLO 3D for design and in particular its capability to discriminate between various materials and cycling postures. Moreover, the impact of the mechanical properties of fabric was analyzed. In particular, virtual prototyping tool CLO 3D and pressure mapping were employed to achieve the required graduated compression while ensuring fit and comfort. Pattern adjustments were iteratively performed until stress, strain, and pressure maps showed adequate fit and pressure of the cycling garment on the virtual cyclist in static and dynamic cycling positions. The impact of fabric types on garment fit has been shown by generating the stress, strain, and pressure maps with a virtual simulation. It was found that the visualized pressure on the human body model shows distributions that are related to contact between body and garment, and large compression stresses occur in the lower parts of the two shirts. Evident garment deformation was shown at hip level, upper arm, lower front side seam, and front neck, which can reduce garment wear comfort and freedom of movement. The output was found to be sufficiently accurate to optimize the garments based on material and cycling posture.
The Fate of Lethal Injection: Decomposition of the Paradigm and Its Consequences
Authors: Sarat Austin , Denney Mattea , Graber-Mitchell Nicolas , Ko Greene , Mroczka Rose , Pelosi Lauren
Published: January 2022

This article examines the use of lethal injection from 2010–2020. That period marks the “decomposition” of the standard three-drug protocol and the proliferating use of new drugs or drug combinations in American executions. That development is associated with an increase in the number and type of mishaps encountered during lethal injections. This article describes and analyzes those mishaps and the ways death penalty jurisdictions responded, and adapted, to them. It suggests that the recent history of lethal injection echoes the longer history of the death penalty. When states encountered problems with their previous methods of execution, they first attempted to address these problems by tinkering with their existing methods. When tinkering failed, they adopted allegedly more humane execution methods. When they ran into difficulty with the new methods, state actors scrambled to hide the death penalty from public view. New drugs and drug combinations may have allowed the machinery of death to keep running. New procedures may have given the lethal injection process a veneer of legitimacy. But none of these recent changes has resolved its fate or repaired its vexing problems.
Sacralization of Peace by the Choice of Dates for Conclusion of International Treaties within Westphalian System
Authors: Ivonina L. I.
Published: January 2022

The issues of peace have always been important for historical science. However, in recent years, international historiography began to pay attention to Peace congresses' symbolism and socio-cultural design. The symbolic power of "special days" whether it is a Christian holiday or an event of exceptional significance allowed people of early Modernity to express their attitude to reality and power. An analysis of the choice of the dates for the conclusion of Peace by adversary states within the Westphalian system demonstrates three persistent variants of the dates. The first is signing a peace treaty on Saturday, Sunday, or a Christian holiday. The most striking example of this option is the signing of the Peace of Westphalia itself (treaties in Münster and Osnabrück on October 24, 1648), on Saturday the day before the second Sunday after Trinity. The second option involves a reference to an important event in the past. For example, the Peace in Passarovitz between the Holy Roman Empire and Porta (1718) and the Russian-Turkish Peace in Kuchuk-Kaynardzhi (1774) were signed on the same date July 21, the date when Istanbul and Peter the Great signed the Prut Peace Treaty in 1711. Since the age of the Enlightenment, when the "Right of Peace" began to compete with the "Right of War" in political theories, the date of Peace could be directly determined by the end of negotiations. Sometimes the conclusion of the Peace became a Christian holiday. Peter the Great decided to consecrate the day of the conclusion of the Nystad Peace Treaty by transferring the relics of the Holy Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky from Vladimir to the new Russian capital St. Petersburg. Conclusion of the Peace was used as a tool of social constructivism, implemented through modeling. The political idea was symbolically grounded in significant historical or religious dates. Combining the historical precedent, the Christian holiday and the end of the war emphasized the sacred nature of Peace as the highest social value.
Great Northern War and Church reform of Peter the Great
Authors: Sokolova N. V.
Published: January 2022

The article presents historical research on the Church reform of Peter I, considering the Great Northern War (1700–1721) as one of the crucial transformational factors in church-state relations in Russia. The article introduces descriptive books of patriarchal estates in 17 counties of Russia. They were created during the audit of Church and monastic property in line with the decree of January 31, 1701. It considers features of the form and content of these documents and previously known descriptions of bishops' houses and monasteries, which were carried out according to the mandated memorials of the Monastic Order in 1701-1705. The article claims that the secularization of the patriarch's landholdings, in contrast to other church holdings, was complete and final already at the beginning of the 18th century. In this regard, there is an obvious need to reject historical parallels between the events of the early 18th century and the "monastic secularization" of 1764.

Comparing the Alexei Kurbatov’s proposals to Peter I in a letter dated October 25, 1700, with the content of the personal decrees of January 24 and 31, 1701 on the restoration of the Monastic Order allows us to hypothesize that the defeat at Narva and preparation for the meeting with the Elector Augustus II that would result in the signing of the Biržai pact, significantly adjusted the plans of the Church reform. The novelty of the January decrees that presumably started the reform (in the then-common European sense of the concept) was the inclusion of the patriarch's estates in the list of the Church's possessions subject to the control of the state in the future.

I conclude that the secularization of church-monastic possessions and property that followed at the beginning of the Great Northern War not only contradicted the centuries-old historical practice but was at that time organizationally overwhelming for the state, which was able to solve the problem of managing the escheat patriarchal lands but did not yet have the appropriate staffing and logistics capacities for control over all possessions of the Church.
Theoretical grounds of the development of innovation infrastructure
Authors: Baev Sergei Andreevich
Published: January 2022

The object of this research is the innovation infrastructure. The subject is the key theoretical approaches towards comprehension of innovation infrastructure, subsystems of innovation infrastructure, role of the state in formation and development of innovation infrastructure, as well as problems of institutionalization of innovation environment in the Russian Federation at the current stage. The scientific novelty of this article is reflected in the following aspects: formulation of the original definition of innovation infrastructure on the basis of systematization of theoretical approaches towards interpretation of innovation infrastructure in Russian science; development of the original approach towards classification of subsystems of innovation infrastructure; proposal of the methods for eliminating the flaws inherent to institutionalization of innovations in Russia at the present stage. The main conclusions lie in the following statements: 1) the term “innovation infrastructure” should be defined as “a set of interrelated organizations and institutions aimed at ensuring the implementation of innovation projects”; 2) innovation infrastructure consists of the five subsystems, two of which (production-technological and financial) are central, and three are (information-consulting, human resource, and sales) are supporting; 3) strong coordination of all subsystems of innovation infrastructure in modern Russia requires adhering to cluster arrangement of innovation infrastructure. The concentration of all enterprises in a single space would allow maximizing their efficiency, as well as reducing the costs. Clusters can be formed in accordance with one of the models that are actively used in the developed countries, such as science and technology parks and technopolises.

The problem of conservation and transmission of their culture is important for the religious communities, namely for Muslims. The educational path of children born to Muslim families in the multicultural society may either coincide or differ from the path of their peers. This article examines the existing trajectories of public education in the Muslim community of Ufa. Analysis is conducted on such forms of education as: public schools for religious children; stay-at-home family education; and private schools. In the first instance, the restraining factors for believers are the absence of halal food and the difficulty of manifestation of identity through clothing. In the second instance, believers there are no two aforementioned problem, but lack of socialization. In the third instance, the financial situation of the religious families matters. Meanwhile, the Ufa Muslim community is discussing the creation of educational projects that would meet the needs of religious parents, produce and reproduce the Muslim elite, since the state education system is not yet capable of solving these issues.

Published: January 2022

Le petit site minier de Rabotrath appartient au district Pb-Zn de l’est de la Belgique et se trouve à quelques kilomètres de La Calamine, le plus gros gisement métallique non ferreux belge. La minéralogie de ce gisement n’a jamais été vraiment examinée et fait l’objet de cet article. Outre les espèces minérales classiques associées à cet environnement, comme par exemple la sphalérite, la galène et la smithsonite, on a également découvert trois espèces nouvelles pour la Belgique : la parascholzite, la zaccagnaite-3R, ainsi qu’un minéral de la série plumbogummite-goyazite. Rabotrath devient également la seconde occurrence belge pour deux autres espèces : la chalcophanite et la plumbojarosite. Ces nouvelles observations, qui ont permis le recensement de 25 espèces minérales, viennent ainsi compléter l’inventaire minéralogique du district minier de Moresnet.

Maintaining and repairing the engineering machinery will be optimal when identification of defect or troubleshooting process, error analysis and fix it and in other word repair process, perform in highest precise, low time and cost. However speed and precise in troubleshooting process, defect analysis and repairing cause to decrease costs. So, the repair and troubleshooting role in a repair and maintenance system is so significant. While today’s, the software has a main role to perform systems tasks, so they have a high importance in systems reliabilities. Therefore, to increase reliability, it is necessary to design systems against error if tolerable. With regard to increasingly development and applying software in different domains, software reliability has an important role during software life time. One of the most important solutions to increase software reliability is predicting software errors that cause to decrease in software maintenance cost in the future. There are many ways to predict software errors. Due to intelligence algorithms such as genetics algorithms, have a high ability to predict, so we can use them to predict software future condition or predict software errors. In this paper, we present a method to predict software error via genetics algorithm. The aim of this method is to predict software error with a higher precise and speed, and also to present structure that be implementation and expansion easily. The attained results show a desired performance of this method from time period for predicting error and output rate or recognition. The results show the recognition rates of suggested method more that 95 percent in best condition.

In this paper a new X-band SIW to Microstrip transition based on SIW structure is proposed. The recent transition has better performance in terms of return loss than those of in the traditional Microstrip tapers transition. Chebyshev multi-section matching transformer is utilized in order to inter-stage network between Microstrip and SIW, whereof it is the most optimum and efficient in matching networks theory. The 5th-order Chebyshev polynomial is employed to get about 30 dB return loss. For this purpose, curve-fitting technique is utilized to obtain a mathematical function based on Chebyshev polynomial which presents the optimum position of vias in SIW transition. In order to validation of theoretical method and results, a full-wave simulation is carried out by CST STUDIO SUITE software.

A New Artificial Intelligence Method for Prediction of Diabetes Type2
Authors: Karabpour Samira , Jafarian Ahmad
Published: January 2022

Diabetes is a chronic illness without a conclusive cure, and is the most common cause of amputations, blindness, and chronic kidney failure, and an important risk factor in heart problems.  The only hope for these patients is through proper care. The main difficulty, regarding this dangerous and destructive illness, is not detecting it in time, and generally, a weakness in detection. Hence, implementation of a method that can help in the detection of this illness is an important step toward the prevention and control of this illness, especially in the early stages. In this article, using adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), we have attempted to predict this illness. The speed and the validity of the suggested algorithm is more than the other smart methods used.  The method proposed in this article, with a 10% validity increase during training and a 5% validity increase during experimentation has a better performance than previous smart methods

Published: January 2022

With regard to the increasing growth of demands in order to provide various services and high-speed in new generation of mobile telecommunications, one of the challenges ahead, are the available limited resources. In early cellular systems, with regard to the type of services that were provided, techniques such as the use of this frequency were enough. But in the telecommunications of the next generation, we have to use different techniques and features that are provided with resources in the area covered by the network, leading to an exponential increase in the operational complexity of these kinds of networks will be optimized in the scheme and optimization point of view. Therefore, to achieve an acceptable level of performance on these networks, intercellular performance management will be of great importance. One of the techniques that are recommended to enhance further the efficiency of cellular networks is the usage of self-optimization techniques in these kinds of networks. The foundation of our proposed scheme is presenting a self-optimizing model based on neighboring indices by which we can make feasible the possibility of controlling resources and the respective indices relevant to neighboring connections of cellular network without the interference of human force and merely by relying on the network’s intelligence. In order to better the efficiency of the intended scheme, we used the Big Data technique to analyze the data and network’s better decision-making process in allocating resources. In a way that in the uplink direction, user’s data from the user layer to the network core are analyzed in one register and based on semantic information extracted from these data, the decision-making center will be able to allocate resources in a more intelligent way. The works done on this Category to provide distributed solution of non-self-optimization or has paid for resources allocation that also may not to be close to the optimized solution or have passed up the effect of changes of network conditions. Gained results in the use of this model represent more efficient use of network resources and also reducing the load rate of the imposed signalling on the network.

Chronic low-back pain (CLBP) affects most people at some point in their lives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of 3 methods which are popular and known as non-invasive way in rehabilitation of CLBP. 60 men in age of group 25-45 with CLBP were randomly divided into four groups (Core Stabilization, massage, reflexology and control) and instructed to perform Core Stabilization exercise for 8 week, massage and foot reflexology for 10 days. Patient were assessed by McGill pain questioner (MPQ) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), based on pain feeling and the ability to do routine activity of life before starting the study (Pre-test Data) and at the end of study procedure (post-test Data). Results were analyzed by Paired T test, one way ANOVA and Tukey post hock. There was no significantly difference in Pre-treatment session between the 4 groups. MPQ and ODI were significantly lower in post-treatment sessions as compared to pre-treatment values in experimental groups (Core Stabilization, massage and foot reflexology). Significant decrease in MPQ and ODI values were found in all experimental groups, but no difference in efficacy were found between these groups. However the result that reach from comparison between each of experimental group and control group, showed that the experimental groups were significantly effective. Core Stabilization exercise, massage and foot reflexology in men with mechanical chronic low-back pain reduce pain and improved disability. Researchers were not found any differences between these 3 methods as compare with each other. Due to the results, Authors suggest that may be using massage therapy or foot reflexology, for patients with CLBP, is better and more effective if therapists are looking for treating in shortest possible duration.

Published: January 2022

Wave propagation techniques have been extensively used for many years in geotechnical engineering. Since these techniques are nondestructive and easy to apply, they have been used increasingly for determination of dynamic properties of rocks and soils. In this study, a seismic refraction survey line was conducted across two boreholes, and the Atterberg limits were calculated using laboratory test, and equation related between Atterberg limits and Vp which identify from seismic refraction method. Experimental results showed that the Liquid limit have a good correlation while Plastic limit and Plasticity index show moderate and poor correlation, respectively. Finally, the seismic refraction method can be used for Liquid limit and Plastic limit calculation.

Today’s big organizations are not able to adjust with globalization without appropriate tools and technologies like organizational learning. The organizations have to change construction or equip to new tools to be able to cope with global changes. One of the most important tools to forward to this aim is development of learning organization. This study aimed to examine the relationship of using information and communication technology tools in empowering of the organizational learning and education. This cross sectional study was included all trainers of technical & professional and work & knowledge schools. In this study 225 cases selected out of 546 students through classification sampling method. The standard tools of Information Communication Technology and organizational learning questionnaires used to assess the samples. The reliability of questionnaire was between 0/79 to 0/84. Data analyzed by mean, standard deviation, Pierson and regression. The results revealed that there is significant relationship between using information and communication technology with organizational learning of trainers. Also, the level of using information and communication technology was predicted the organizational learning.
Comparative study of Graphic aspects of textiles in Indian Gurakani and Iranian Safavid eras
Authors: Moravej Elahe
Published: January 2022

The extensive support for the textile production industry and art from kings of 2 simultaneous Safavids and Gurkani Dynasties in Iran and India helped its promotion. In these periods, valuable textiles which played a significant role in expressing the individuals’ social dignity were provided with valuable fibers, rare colors and particular designs. The main goal of this research is to comparatively analyze the Iranian textiles designs in Safavids and Indian ones in Gurkani dynasties during 9-11th centuries (AH) so that it can find the similarities and differences in term of designs and color of the textiles in these 2 countries and the level and reason for their effectiveness. This research focused on designed courtier textiles whose images and samples remained and are available. Investigation into the political-cultural relationship between these 2 dynasties, techniques, the materials and instruments used in textiles, itineraries and historical and research books and designs analysis on the basis of the available images and pictures were performed. The findings indicated that the level of effectiveness of technique and Iranian textile design were more than its vice versa state. The textiles colors were often similar, but the emphasis on some colors in Indian textiles seems particular. The effect of European on Indian designs is more than Iranian samples and the effect of religious and literature on Iranian artists and textile designs were more than those of Indian.

Urban growth modelling can provide a useful tool to help decision-makers and urban planners evaluate different planning scenarios. Predicting the land uses and covers for sustainable utilization of lands cover is crucial due to rapid changes in the operations mainly arising from population growth and urbanization or perhaps because of changes in the stature of a city. The application of urban growth models such as CA-Markov could raise awareness about the future growth of the city aimed at consciously controlling and changing the land use planning in the future. The results of reviewing the urban growth process and land use changes around the city in the past mainly indicated the lands converted from agricultural use to urban areas across Bojnoord. Moreover, the hybrid model of CA-Markov was employed to predict the land use changes for the next 50 years with 10-year intervals between 2020 and 2070. The results showed that if the process of urban growth and land use changes in areas around the city persist, the urban areas will double by 2070 compared to 2009, while the agricultural lands will shrink to half. This could provide the context for environmental issues in the future. Hence, it is recommended that the inner capacity of the city be used instead of urban growth in the surrounding areas.

Common Scrambling Algorithm (CSA) is used for encoding the video streams in video player broadcasting system. For a more security margin, this algorithm is as a cascade combination of stream and block cipher. Common Scrambling Algorithm has been secure against the classic attacks, while it has been vulnerable against the side-channel ones. One of side-channel attacks on Common Scrambling Algorithm in the digital video broadcasting (DVB) will be studied in this paper. Descrambling the block part of this algorithm, the common key for the whole algorithm is gained. With this, a general approach for a high security encoding against the side-channel attacks is provided.
