Authors: Alasmri Naeem , Basahel Sarah
Published: August 2022

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant role at the organizational and operational levels. Managers of companies started to employ AI in decision-making to achieve their operational goals. However, not all managers have the same adaptability to this new technology. Therefore, the present study investigates the impact of utilizing AI on the decision-making process. It also aimed to examine the impact of improved decision-making on three dependent variables: Organizational Performance (OP), Individual Productivity (IP), and Organizational Culture (OC). Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyze the obtained data and test the hypotheses. The sample of this study included 133 participants working in Saudi organizations, selected from different levels of management (i.e., top managers, middle managers, first line managers, and non-managerial employees). The results of the study showed that AI plays a significant role in the process of decision-making. The results also revealed a positive direct relationship between improved decision-making and organizational performance, individual productivity, and organizational culture. Based on the results of this study, some implications and recommendations were provided concerning the relationship under investigation.

Decisiveness in democratically legitimized state emergency law

The need to modernize Dutch emergency law has been given due attention in the wake of the Minister of Justice and Security’s parliamentary document regarding the Policy plan on Crisis management of July 3, 2018. This article focuses on a specific domain of emergency law, and discusses the issue of whether revising the separate activation of emergency legislation is opportune, given the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent and future threats and societal developments. I inquire the possibility of direct use of separate ministerial competences and the position of the parliament in the decision-making process regarding the continuation of this separate activation of emergency legislation.

Authors: Elmenawy Mustafa Adel , Abd Elsamia Hesham Samir , Ryan Mohamed Monier , Abdelwahab Hisham Eldosoky
Published: August 2022

Introduction and aim: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the commonest degenerative and painful articular disease. It is a significant cause of disability. Early diagnosis is crucial and searching for biomarkers is continuing. The current work aimed to assessment the plasma leptin and adiponectin concentrations in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to explore the relationship of leptin and adiponectin with OA severity

Methodology: Forty patients with primary knee osteoarthritis from both sexes who fulfilled ACR criteria for diagnosis of knee OA were enrolled. Other healthy subjects were included as a control group.  Patients were sassed by history taking, clinical examination, radiological and laboratory investigations. WOMAC questionnaire was used to evaluate a patient’s functions.

Results: Both study and control groups were comparable as regards to patient demographics, except their weight, height and body mass index (BMI). Obesity, hypertension, tenderness, pain grade, limitation of joint movements and WOMAC score, Kellgren Lawrence radiological criteria, leptin and adiponectin were increased in study when compared to control group.  There was significant, positive, moderate correlation between leptin and BMI (r=0.557, p < 0.001). Higher leptin was associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus. Leptin serum levels revealed proportional, moderate, significant correlation with each of pain, stiffness and K-L criteria, while this correlation was powerful with physical function and total WOMAC score.

Conclusion: Leptin and adiponectin were increased in patients with osteoarthritis. Leptin alone is significantly associated with disease severity indices.

Published: August 2022

Introduction and aim: Spinal anesthesia is a commonly and conveniently used for lower abdominal surgeries. The research on different drugs for spinal anesthesia is still ongoing to find out the standard and ideal drug. The current work aimed to compare efficacy and safety profile between prilocaine versus bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia for lower abdominal surgeries.

Methodology: Ninety patients scheduled for elective lower abdominal surgeries were included and randomly assigned to one of two equal groups. All patients were preoperatively assessed by clinical and laboratory investigations. Hemodynamic monitoring was assessed intraoperatively every 5 minutes. Sensory and motor blockade and postoperative pain and time for first analgesic request were recorded.  The primary outcomes were efficacy of block (onset of sensory block, onset and intensity of motor block and duration of action). The Secondary outcomes were hemodynamic changes, post-operative analgesia, and patient satisfaction.

Results: The time for the onset of the highest sensory block was shorter among P than B group (5.91±1.84 vs 8.26±1.98 minutes, respectively). Similarly, the time for the onset of the highest motor block level and PACU length of stay (minutes) was significantly shorter among P than B groups. The postoperative pain score was reduced in P than B group. The time for first analgesic request was shorter among P than B group (192.44±11.21 vs 235.77±29.44 minutes). Sensory regression to L1 was shorter among P than B groups. The motor regarrisons at one hour showed significant difference. The postoperative systolic blood pressure was significantly reduced in B than P group, with increased hypotension in B than P group (17.8% vs 4.4%, respectively). On the other side, no significant difference was observed for other complications or satisfaction score.

Conclusion: The combination of prilocaine and fentanyl is superior than bupivacaine and fentanyl for subarachnoid anesthesia in lower abdominal surgery.

Published: August 2022

As digital transformation is applied to the business environment, decision-making through data began to become common in personnel management activities. One of the main interests in these activities, referred to as People Analytics, is to predict employees who are expected to perform well in advance. Nevertheless, existing studies on cases and methods for predictive analysis are insufficient. In addition, few discussions have been conducted on what criteria to look at data in making decisions for predictive analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide the concept of predictive analysis and actual analysis cases together with R code based on the cases of South Korean companies. In addition, it emphasizes the importance of connecting data analysis and decision-making to academics and practitioners, along with discussions on when decision-making should be made.

Published: August 2022

A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Farm, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh during 2016â€“17 and 2017â€“18 to study the productivity and energetics of rice (Oryza sativa L.)-based cropping systems under irrigated condition. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications. The treatment comprised ten rice-based cropping sequences. Results revealed that rice-potato-green gram recorded significantly high system rice equivalent yield over rest of the cropping sequences during both the years of study. Energy input was recorded highest in rice-potato-green gram followed by rice-potato-cowpea fodder, rice-mustard-sudan grass fodder, rice-wheat-cowpea fodder and lowest in rice-berseem-cowpea fodder sequence. Rice-mustard-sudan grass fodder sequence recorded significantly high energy output, net energy, energy outputinput ratio and energy intensity as compared to rest of the cropping sequences during both the years of investigation, whereas energy productivity was high in rice-cabbage-cowpea fodder sequence compared to other sequences during both the years of experimentation. However, specific energy was higher in rice-wheat-green gram sequence than rest of the cropping sequences except rice-wheat sequence during second year of investigation where it remained at par with rice-wheat-green gram sequence.

Published: August 2022

With the virtual world buzzing with heavy information load, it is often confusing for 21st century users to decide which information is needful for them. The information givers in order to attract audience, views and make profit margins dump irrelevant information. As a results, users often end up receiving wrong information or even misinterpreting or not comprehending the information. Agriculture sector has not remained untouched by this heavy inflow of information through ICT. The need for right information at right time and at right place is of prime importance in this sector for better and quick decision making by different stakeholders. The introduction of ICT in agriculture in form of mobile phones resulted in shrinking the information gap. The present study was carried out in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand in 2019 to analyse the readability scores of three different mobile apps, viz. Plantix, Kisan Suvidha and Apni Kheti launched by three different organizations and compare them. The results reveal that overall readability score of agricultural apps calculated using Gunning Fog Index is 10.77. The individual average GFI scores of Plantix, Kisan Suvidha and Apni Kheti are 11.27, 11.16 and 9.88, respectively, indicating moderate difficulty level when we take into consideration the end users reading level, who are mostly farmers in this case. The ultimate aim of launching mobile apps in agriculture will be fulfilled directly or indirectly if we take into consideration the readability of the apps along with focusing on userâ€™s reading level.

A two year field investigation was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) under subtropical plains of Jammu during rabi 2014â€“2015 and 2015â€“16 at Vegetable Experimental Farm of SKUAST, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. The experiment was laid in RBD and comprised 14 treatments with three levels of nitrogen (50, 75 and 100 %) in combination with two levels of organic manures (FYM @20t/ha and Vermicompost@2t/ha) and seedling dip with two biofertilizers [Azotobacter and Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria (PSB)]. The results revealed that for all the morphological (50% head initiation and maturation) and yield parameters (head size, net and gross head weight and marketable yield), the treatment combination comprising 75% inorganic nitrogen + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria recorded significantly high values as compared to other treatment combinations and control. Quality parameters like TSS recorded non significant influence by the application of different organic manures (FYM and Vermicompost) in combination with biofertilizers and reduced quantities of N (50 and 75%),however ascorbic acid content in cabbage recorded statistically higher values (51.16 mg/100g) in the treatment having 50% of inorganic nitrogen + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). Economically, the study pointed out that application of vermicompost in the treatment combinations resulted in higher values in cost of cultivation, thereby, lowering down B:C ratios as compared to FYM treatments. Maximum B:C ratio (1:2.55) was recorded in treatment having 75% inorganic nitrogen + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria as compared to 1.96 in control (100% NPK + FYM).

Community engagement is a crucial element for effective management of natural resources. This study is aimed at determining the factors and analyzing their path for collective action behavior of farmers towards natural resource management. Two cases of community based natural resource management were conducted in Phek and Kohima districts of Nagaland during 2020 and with thematic their analysis of activities, the probable factors of collective action among the communities were listed. Through participatory rural appraisal, focus group discussion and personal interview method data, was collected with a total sample size of randomly selected 106 farmers. The composite reliability for the explanatory variables, viz. social cohesiveness, normative belief, collective action for resource management, trust, community orientation, social relationship, and shared values were 0.79, 0.81,0.92, 0.6, 0.72, 0.78, and 0.52, respectively. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in 7 factors with 63.7% of the total variance explained. The obtained factors were validated through measurement modelling by confirmatory factor analysis. The structural model had goodness of fit with acceptable values of RMSEA (0.09), GFI (0.96) and CFI (0.92). The relationship of community orientation was found highly significant with normative belief (Z=6.36**); social cohesiveness (2.27**) and collective action (Z=3.47**). Emphasis should be laid upon promotion of normative beliefs, local institutions, and social values for augmentation of collective action for natural resource management.

The field experiment was conducted at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab during rabi of 2014- 15 and 2015-16 to assess various precision nutrient management practices in different varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under different tillage systems. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The main plot consisted of the combination of two tillage systems [conventional tillage (CT) and zero tillage (ZT)] and two varieties (WH 1105 and HD 2967) and the sub plots consisted of six nitrogen management practices, viz. Control, SSNM-NE (N170), SSNM-NE+GS (N153/158), N120 before Irrigation, N120 after Irrigation, N Rich (N180)]. Different tillage practices and varieties gave statistically similar grain yield, however, in terms of economics, ZT recorded 8.4% higher net returns than CT. Among nitrogen management practices, N rich (N180), SSNM-NE (N170) and SSNM NE+GS (N153/158) recorded significantly higher grain yield (53.7 q/ha) compared to other treatments. SSNM NE+GS (N153/158) recorded 17.3 and 18.7% higher grain yield compared to N120 application before and after irrigation, respectively, whereas, it recorded 89.2 and 130.5% higher grain yield and net returns, respectively, than no N control.

Published: August 2022

Proper plant spacing and foliar application of micronutrients is necessary for higher yield and quality. Theexperiment was conducted to determine the effect of spacing and micronutrients on fruit yield of bitter gourdgrown under protected structures (nethouse and polyhouse). The variety Pusa Rasdar (27.06 days) showed superiorperformance over Selection 32 (30.03 days) for opening of first female flower under net house. The wider spacing(30 cm Ã— 50 cm) enhanced early female flower (28.29 days) compared to closer spacing (under nethouse). The PusaRasdar was superior for node number of first female flower (11.25 nodes) followed by Selection 32 (13.28 nodes)(under nethouse). The wider spacing (30 cm Ã— 50 cm) had a significant effect on first node of female flower appearance(12.37 and 11.87 nodes) under polyhouse and net house. The maximum fruit weight was in Pusa Rasdar (206.89g) (under nethouse). The application of boron @0.2% and calcium @0.6% enhanced the number of fruits per plant(11.00 and 10.80) (under net house). The wider spacing (30 cm Ã— 50 cm) also produced the highest number of fruitsper plant (11.37) in Pusa Rasdar (under net house) condition. The maximum fruit yield per plant was recorded in PusaRasdar (2122.70 g) compared to Selection 32 (1646.61 g) (under net house). The wider spacing (30 cm Ã— 50 cm) alsoproduced maximum fruit yield (2137.25 g) in Pusa Rasdar (under net house). Therefore, higher yield of bitter gourdcould be obtained under net house with broader spacing (30 cm Ã— 50 cm) along with proper doses of micronutrients(0.2% boron and 0.6% calcium).

Published: August 2022

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the most important rabi pulse crop of Rajasthan. The intervention of chickpea frontline demonstrations (FLDs) is one of the best ways to educate the conventional cultivators about productivity potential and profitability. The present study was carried out to determine the economic viability of technology transfer and adoption of chickpea in semi-arid region of North-West plain (NWP) zone of Rajasthan. Frontline demonstrations were conducted at Agricultural Research Station, S K Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, Sriganganagar, Rajasthan, to enhance chickpea production and improve livelihood of small and marginal farmers. Total 260 demonstrations were conducted under 65 ha area in different villages of Sriganganagar district of Rajasthan during rabi season of 2012â€“13 to 2019â€“20. The seed of newly released chickpea varieties, viz. GNG-1581, GNG-1958, GNG-2144 and GNG-2171 were provided with other production and protection inputs. Results of the study revealed that the package and practices improved the seed yield of chickpea by 17.2%. The annual increase in the yield in different seasons ranged from 12.4% to 23.4%. The average technology gap (6.6 q/ha) and average extension gap (2.5 q/ha) suggested further improvement in the extension activities. The average benefit : cost ratio was significantly higher (2.81) under demonstrated plot as compared to farmersâ€™ practice (2.48). Economic studies of individual years over eight years indicated that adoption of improved practices fetched more profit compared to farmersâ€™ practices.

Published: August 2022

The study is a survey of problem-solving and self-management skills required for effective job performance of business education students in southeast Nigeria. Three research questions and three null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. A four point, structured questionnaire constructed by the researcher with a reliability coefficient of 0.69 was used to collect data. The entire population of eighty-eight (88) business educators in the public universities in southeast Nigeria was considered affordable by the researcher; therefore, no sampling was made. 88 copies of the questionnaire were administered on the respondents but only 62 were correctly filled and returned thereby stabilizing the number of respondents at 62. Mean and z-test statistics were used to analyze collected data. While mean was used to answer the research questions, z-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results identified nine problem-solving skills and nine self-management skills required for effective job performance of business education graduates. The study also found that setting good examples by the teacher, setting reachable goals with the students, activity based teaching, allowing students direct themselves, teamwork, learner centred approach and guiding students to solve problems are good strategies for teaching problem-solving and self-management skills. Integration of problem-solving and self-management skills into the business education curriculum and setting good examples by business educators were recommended among others.

Barczi Attila a tanárom, majd kollégám és doktori témavezetőm volt. A kutatási évek alatt számtalan alkalommal egyeztettünk, saját szakterületeinket illesztgettük egymáshoz, kerestük a közös pontokat, érveltünk és alakítottuk ki a közös nevezőnket. Abból az alapfelvetésből indult ki a PhD-kutatásom, hogy a táji és természeti mutatók nem vesznek részt a térségek és települések fejlettségét meghatározó és egymáshoz viszonyító rendszerben. Értékes természeti környezettel rendelkező térségeink nagy része hátrányos helyzettel bír a gazdasági és társadalmi állapotukat tekintve. Vizsgálataink arra irányultak, hogy ezen térségek miként élnek a természeti környezet adta lehetőségekkel a fejlesztéseik során? Milyen fejlesztéseket terveznek, és ezek miként függnek össze a természeti környezetük nyújtotta ökoszisztéma-szolgáltatásokkal? A kutatási eredmények között sikerült egy alkalmazható módszert leírni a természeti környezet szerepét erősítve a területi kohézió elemzéséhez, olyan adatok felhasználásával, melyek szabadon a rendelkezésünkre állnak.
Az öcsödi Mogyorós-halom tájökológiai jellemzése

Published: August 2022

A Mogyorós-halom Öcsöd és Békésszentandrás határán fekszik, a 18. században már határpont volt. A népvándorlás korában temetőt, a középkorban falvat létesítettek itt különböző népcsoportok. A 18. század végén már tanyásodott agrárkörnyezetben ábrázolják, az 1970-es évekig jellemzően szántották a területet. A kurgánt az évszázadok során számos bolygatás érte (szántás, régészeti feltárás, bányászás, háromszögelési pont létesítése, szemétlerakás stb.). Ennek ellenére oldalain szárazgyepi és rétsztyeppi növénytársulások maradtak fenn. Fontosabb fajai: kecskebúza (Aegilops cylindrica), bíborfekete hagyma (Allium atropurpureum), cingár gombafű (Androsace elongata), bárányüröm (Artemisia pontica), pettyegetett őszirózsa (Aster sedifolius), vastövű imola (Centaurea scabiosa), sáfrányos imola (Centaurea solstitialis), pusztai gyújtoványfű (Linaria biebersteinii), nyúlánk sárma (Ornithogalum brevistylum). A kurgán jelenleg elhanyagolt állapotban van, növényzete természetvédelmi kezelést – például rendszeres kaszálást – igényelne. Hosszú távon célszerű lenne az inváziós növényfajok eltávolítása, valamint a halomtest hiányzó részeinek helyreállítása is.
Botanikai és tájhasználat-történeti kutatások Balaton-felvidéki felhagyott szőlőkben
Authors: Számel Róbert
Published: August 2022

A dombvidéki felhagyott szőlők számos védett növény- és állatfajt őriznek, azonban a Covid19-világjárvány következtében Balaton-felvidéki állományaik egy részén drasztikusan megnőtt a zavarás, beépítés, az időközben visszagyepesedett részek újbóli feltörése, ezért sürgetővé vált élőviláguk felmérése. Aszófő, Balatonudvari, Dörgicse, Örvényes, Pécsely és Vászoly összesen 11 felhagyott szőlőterületét a vegetációs időszakban rendszeresen, legalább kéthetente jártam be, és feljegyeztem az edényes növényfajokat, a védett fajok esetében azok egyedszámát is, emellett feltártam a táj- és tájhasználat-történet fő motívumait. Az edényes növényfajok listáját szociális magatartási típusok és ökológiai jelzőértékek (SBT, Val, TB, WB, RB, NB, SB), valamint természetvédelmi érték kategóriák alapján jellemeztem. A szőlőművelés a római kor óta jelen van a térségben; felhagyásának fő oka a filoxérajárvány, majd az államosítás volt, később a zártkertek kialakításával a szőlőparcellák nyaralótelekké alakítása. Összesen 32 védett növényfajt találtam, előfordulásaikat ponttérképeken ábrázoltam. A felhagyott szőlőparcellák növényzete jelenleg természetközeli állapotokat mutat. A szukcessziós folyamatok kisebb-nagyobb mértékben minden területen zajlanak. Természetvédelmi jelentőségükre utal, hogy az összes mintaterületen regisztráltam védett növényfajt, ugyanakkor számos veszélyeztető tényezőt is, köztük legjelentősebb a beépítés, beszántás, kertté alakítás, ami egy kivétellel az összes területet érinti; emellett a cserjésedés, beerdősülés is jelentős. Az egyes területek kezelésére is teszek javaslatokat.

SATIRE IN THE POETRY OF MUSA I. OKPANACHI AND JOSEPH CHRISTOPHER
Authors: HUSSAINI ADDAU MAGAJI  , NAFIUABDULLAHI
Published: August 2022

This paper addresses the use of satire as a tool in contemporary Nigerian Poetry as depicted in some selected poems of Musa I. Okpanachi and Joseph C.P Christopher. Poets adopt the use of satire as their style to improve the society by criticizing and ridiculing anyone engaged in vices which are often detrimental to a majority of the less privileged. Poets depict the vices in their societies in a satiric style that scorn and cast aspersion on the follies of their leaders, the people and the societal structure as a whole. They also address the imbalance in the society and the adverse effects of such on the Nigerian society. Moreover, the study focuses on how satire as atool for reparation can serveas a basis or an attempt for civil change. The research brings out the significant achievement of the two poets in using satire. Okpanachi uses juvenilia satire which is said to be more confrontational in his poetry in an attempt to expose the evil happening in the society to his readers. Christopher on the other hand is less confrontational. He uses menippean satire which creates awareness to his readers. The sociological approach has been adopted for the purpose of this research.
LEXICAL BORROWING AND LANGUAGE ENDANGERMENT: A CASE OF THE TIV LANGUAGE
Authors: Rosaline Mnguhenen Sokpo, Ph.D.  , Sarah Terwase Shittu, Ph.D  , Titus Terver Udu, Ph.D  , Joseph I. Orban, Ph.D.
Published: August 2022

Language gives identity to a people and makes them a speech community, thereby defining their culture. It is their means of initiating and propagating development; it therefore means that without language that is peculiar to a people, it becomes difficult for them to forge ahead with the development of their society. However, because language communities co-exist and their strengths and numbers are not equal, some languages that are stronger than others begin to dominate them when they come into contact or co-exist. This dominance could gradually lead to language endangerment and possibly extinction of the weaker language. This is the case betweenthe Hausa language and the Tiv language in the middle belt region of Nigeria, where Tiv language speakers tend to borrow lexical items from the Hausa language. The current study involved oral interviews with adult native speakers of the Tiv language, as well as reviewed reports, journal articles and books written on the subject matter under study. The study explored the extent of lexical borrowing by the Tiv language from the Hausa language and discovered that the Tiv language has borrowed lexical items significantly from the Hausa language. The borrowing is based on the fact that the Tiv language has no lexical equivalents of the borrowed words in its lexicon, or that the speakers of Tiv language have over time adopted such Hausa words because of their knowledge of Hausa language. The danger here is that borrowed lexical items from Hausa have come to replace some Tiv words, making them to gradually go extinct, thereby endangering the Tiv language. The study concludes that the trend of Hausa words gradually replacing Tiv words is worrisome, and calls for intensified studies to ensure that the Tiv language is protected from domination by the Hausa language, to prevent extinction of the language in the future.

Privacidade é uma questão muito subjetiva, abrangente e complexa a ser tratada, modelada e implementada. Existem muitos trabalhos teóricos sobre o projeto de serviços de privacidade para aplicações baseadas em localização, mas há poucos que descrevem métodos práticos para auxiliar os desenvolvedores de tais aplicações nessa tarefa. Com esse propósito, este artigo discute um modelo conceitual para um serviço de privacidade a ser utilizado por uma comunidade de usuários e discute alguns requisitos de controle de privacidade que devem ser considerados no projeto e implementação desse serviço. Tais requisitos foram levados em conta na implementação do "Context Privacy Service" CoPS, que por sua vez foi integrado e implantado com os serviços de provisão de contexto do middleware MoCA (Mobile Collaboration Architecture).
BGP Traceback: Um Novo Método para Identificação de Caminhos de Ataques na Internet
Authors: Moraes Luis Felipe M. de , Martins Denilson Vedoveto
Published: August 2022

Este artigo apresenta a proposta de um novo método de IP Traceback que introduz a utilização do Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) para rastrear o caminho de um ataque na Internet. Para permitir tal funcionalidade, foram incluídas novas mensagens ao BGP. Devido aos problemas encontrados nos métodos atuais de IP Traceback, são propostas alterações no mecanismo de marcação de pacotes, permitindo que sejam escolhidos apenas aqueles pertencentes a ataques. Para garantir a comunicação segura entre as entidades BGP, será considerado o uso dos mecanismos de segurança introduzidos pela proposta do Secure-BGP (S-BGP).
Provendo Confidencialidade em Espaços de Tuplas Tolerantes a Intrusões

A coordenação por espaços de tuplas é um dos mais interessantes modelos de comunicação para sistemas distribuídos abertos, devido as suas características de desacoplamento espacial e temporal e ao seu poder de sincronização. Muitos destes sistemas estão sujeitos a faltas, ataques e intrusões, porém é fundamental que a estrutura de comunicação neles empregada permaneça provendo seu serviço corretamente mesmo na presença desses eventos. Para fornecer este nível de qualidade de serviço uma abordagem interessante é a tolerância a intrusões, onde o sistema é implementado por um conjunto de réplicas que provêm o serviço corretamente mesmo que uma parte delas sejam controladas por um adversário. Este trabalho apresenta um esquema de confidencialidade para espaços de tuplas tolerantes a intrusões baseado em compartilhamento de segredo, onde uma tupla (unidade de dados armazenada no espaço) não é revelada a partes não autorizadas mesmo que algumas das réplicas do espaço sejam faltosas. Visando validar este esquema, alguns experimentos que medem o impacto da inclusão do esquema em um espaço de tuplas tolerante a intrusões são apresentados.
Using ontologies to assist security management
Authors: Martimiano Luciana A. F. , Moreira Edson dos Santos
Published: August 2022

Several tools can be used to manage and store security information. These tools generate a great amount of security alerts, which are stored in different formats. This lack of standard and the amount of data make the tasks of the security administrators even harder, because they have to understand, using their tacit knowledge, different security alerts to make correlation and solve security problems. Aiming to assist the administrators in executing these tasks efficiently, this paper presents the main features and contributions of the security incident ontology developed to model, using a unique format, the concepts of the security incident domain.

Published: August 2022

Um dos grandes desafios da área de segurança é estabelecer métodos e modelos para se aferir e planejar a mitigação dos riscos existentes, dado a grande diversidade e complexidade dos sistemas atuais e da larga gama de vulnerabilidades e potenciais ataques. Este artigo propõe o desenvolvimento de novas métricas e modelos específicos que auxiliem o processo de ajuste de conformidade à norma ISO 17799. Basicamente, investigam-se diferentes formas de expressar a conformidade (e sensibilidade desta conformidade aos respectivos controles), gerando subsídios para um processo de priorização da implementação dos controles necessários.
Implementação de políticas UCON em um núcleo de sistema operacional
Authors: Teigão Rafael Coninck , Maziero Carlos , Santin Altair
Published: August 2022

O controle de uso vai além do controle de acesso tradicional e trata os aspectos relacionados à mutabilidade dos atributos e validação contínua das restrições de uso. O modelo UCONABC estabelece um ferramental formal básico para tratar as novas necessidades de segurança e sistemas de controle de uso. Como esse modelo foi apenas descrito por uma especificação formal, este trabalho o implementa na forma de uma gramática LALR(1). A gramática proposta é então utilizada para representar cenários de controle de acesso e uso comuns, demonstrando sua expressividade e utilidade. Por fim, a gramática é implementada em um mecanismo de controle de uso de arquivos no núcleo de um sistema operacional aberto.

Effect of Surface Adhesion on the Rough Contact Response Near Complete Contact
Authors: ZHANG Siyuan , LIU Yanwei
Published: August 2022

The adhesion phenomena between interfaces is widely investigated in engineering and scientific research. Due to the complexity of loading condition and surface topography, the traditional adhesive theory has many limitations. To better understand the adhesive properties of rough surfaces, we release the restrictions of JKR theory and propose a new adhesive model for single asperity. Initiated by this, a discrete rough surface contact model is presented, which extends the application scope of the traditional theory. First, we establish an elastic model by describing the gap between the interfaces accurately, so analytical solutions which are still valid for high contact pressure are proposed. Then, based on this, the exact adhesive solutions for different shapes of indenters are derived, which greatly improves the predicting accuracy of contact relationship and adhesion force. Finally, we use the results in the analysis of rough surface. The effect of both surface roughness and surface energy on the adhesive response of rough contact are studied in detail. The results show that adhesion is more easily to happen for smooth and geometrically continuous surfaces. The overall adhesion effect will be reduced in rough surface analysis with the increasing of surface roughness and the decreasing of surface energy. Our research sheds light on the understanding of the adhesion between solids and provides a theoretical guidance for the design of adhesion biomimetic materials and MEMS systems.
analysis method of carrying capacity accuracy of three-row roller slewing bearing

Published: August 2022

Three-row roller slewing bearings are one of the critical core components of large rotating equipment. Heavy-duty conditions have extremely high requirements for the carrying capacity. The new load capacity analysis method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the accuracy and efficiency of the carrying capacity analysis of three-row roller slewing bearings. The three-row roller slewing bearing solid rollers are replaced in the model by the upper and lower halves of the rollers and two springs. The local contact model of the three-row roller slewing bearing was established and verified by the Hertz contact theory. The overall finite element model of the three-row roller slewing bearing was verified by strain tests. The new method can calculate the stress and strain distribution, load distribution, and deformation of the entire circle of the three-row roller slewing bearing and reduce the mesh number of the finite element of the overall model. Roller chamfer can also be considered closer to the actual working conditions and improves calculation efficiency and accuracy.

Erfolgreiche Mitarbeiterbindung durch interkulturelles Teambuilding und Integrationsmaßnahmen

Aufgrund des hohen Personalmangels in der Pflege setzen immer mehr Einrichtungen auf die Anwerbung von Pflegekräften aus dem Ausland. Mit der Anwerbung allein ist es allerdings nicht getan. Im Fokus steht vermehrt die Integration dieser Kräfte, denn sonst droht eine hohe Fluktuation. Vielen Personalverantwortlichen in Pflegeeinrichtungen ist dies bewusst, was aber oft fehlt, sind geeignete Werkzeuge, Methoden und Strategien zur betrieblichen, kulturellen und sozialen Integration. Hier hilft das Praxishandbuch Betriebliche, kulturelle und soziale Integration ausländischer Pflegekräfte weiter:

Das Aufzeigen von Hürden bei der betrieblichen Integration und das Verstehen interkultureller Unterschiede helfen, von Anfang an Missverständnissen vorzubeugen.

Übungen und Fallbeispiele zeigen, wie Gesundheitsunternehmen das interkulturelle Verständnis ihrer Mitarbeitenden fördern können.

Tipps und Hinweise zu unkomplizierten Integrationsmaßnahmen unterstützen das Ankommen und die Bindung der ausländischen Pflegekräfte gut zu gestalten.

Checklisten helfen, den Stand der bereits getroffenen Maßnahmen realistisch einzuschätzen und weiterzuentwickeln.

Interviews mit Vertretern von Pflegeeinrichtungen, internationalen Fachkräften, Mentoren ausländischer Pflegekräfte, Integrationscoaches und anderen beteiligten Akteuren geben einen breiten Einblick in die Praxis und runden diese Arbeitshilfe ab.
Wirkungsorientierte Leistungsmessung: Der Balanced Performance Report
Authors: Gruber Gerhard
Published: August 2022

Wirkung Sozialer Arbeit messen und analysieren

Die rasante Veränderung der Rahmenbedingungen, die Erwartungen der Stakeholder und nicht zuletzt vermehrt rechtliche Vorgaben

machen die Implementierung eines modernen Leistungsmessungssystems zu Analyse, Planung und Steuerung der Organisation unumgänglich.

Wie aber ein solches Performance Measurement System finden? Wie eine solche Aufgabe angehen?

Das neue Fachbuch Wirkungsorientierte Leistungsmessung: Der Balanced Performance Report unterstützt bei der Auseinandersetzung und informiert über aktuelle Möglichkeiten, aber auch Grenzen der wirkungsorientierten Leistungsmessung.

Neben theoretischen Grundlagen wird die Entwicklung eines wirkungsorientierten Performance Measurement Systems – des Balanced Performance Reports – am Beispiel einer mittelgroßen gemeinnützigen Organisation vorgestellt. Hilfreich sind dabei die Aussagen von Praktikern, die im Rahmen von Befragungen erhoben wurden.

Der Balanced Performance Report basiert auf der Balanced Scorecard, entwickelt dieses System aber weiter bzw. passt dieses an moderne Vorgaben wie der Leistungswirkungsmessung an. Im Entwicklungsprozess spielte die Beantwortung folgender Fragen eine große Rolle:

Welche Kennzahlen und Indikatoren sind geeignet, den durch die Sachzieldominanz geprägten Anforderungen einer Social-Profit-Organisation an ein wirkungsorientiertes Performance Measurement System zu genügen?

Stoßen Social-Profit-Organisationen bei der wirkungsorientierten Leistungsmessung an Grenzen?

Welche Konsequenzen können oder müssen daraus gezogen werden?
