Attackers are constantly looking for new vulnerabilities and using more sophisticated attack techniques to breach security systems. Adequate data protection is needed to address this challenge and prevent unauthorized access to critical company information. Additionally, a lack of knowledge about managing and monitoring security systems is a major challenge for many businesses.However, the use of AI to protect office data offers several advantages. First, AI's ability to quickly and accurately detect security threats aids in early detection of cyber attacks. Predictive analysis supported by AI can also detect dangerous patterns and prevent attacks before they occur. Furthermore, using AI to automate security processes can optimize operational efficiency and accountability for events that occur. AI-based security can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and cyber attacks.The use of AI technology in office data protection is not only a supportive tool but also an innovative and efficient solution to address increasingly complex challenges in information security. We hope this overview provides a deeper understanding of the challenges and benefits of AI in protecting office data, as well as efforts to optimize information security in this digital era.

Influence of rolling-element bearings on rotary shaft seals
Authors:   University of Stuttgart, Institute of Machine Components (IMA), Olbrich Christoph , Gerhard Jacqueline , Feldmeth Simon , Bauer Frank
Published: September 2024

Rotary shaft seals are commonly used to seal rotating machine components and prevent the leakage of fluids into the environment. Failures of elastomeric rotary shaft seals are often the result of overheating in the contact area between the sealing edge and the shaft. High temperatures in this contact area occur due to high frictional power and/or inadequate heat dissipation. The surroundig of the seal has a significant impact on the temperatures occurring in the contact area. Studies by Kunstfeld [1] have already demonstrated that additional elements near the seal influence the temperature. Especially rolling-element bearings near the seal strongly influence the contact temperature. The frictional heat generated in the bearings results in an increase in the temperature of the fluid near the seal, consequently raising the contact temperature. Tapered roller bearings pump oil [2] and, depending on the installation situation, can lead to a higher or lower fluid level next to the seal. Tests are conducted on a High-Speed friction torque test bench [3]. This investigation involves four different bearing arrangements, as well as a reference variant without bearings. In these test runs, both the frictional torque and the temperature near the contact area are examined. In addition to the experiments on the test bench, Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) simu-lations are conducted with the same installation conditions. The simulated temperatures are compared with the measured temperatures. In most cases, the correlation is good. However, for one bearing arrangement, the correlation is significantly worse [4]. These differences are investigated further.

Migraine is a debilitated disorder that is often under diagnosed in clinical practice. Early detection of migraine leads to outstanding improvements in patients’ quality of life. New researchers had developed the central sensitization and cutaneous allodina in chronic migraine which is helpful in early treatment approach with triptans and other agents in acute migraine episodes. Right now, five agents are accepted by US food and drug administration (FDA) for migraine prevention. They are namely Divalporex sodium, Propranolol, Timolol maleate, Topiramate and Methysergide. For so many years, other medications have been used to prevent migraine with not much more success rate. They are Tricyclic anti depressants, anti epileptic agents, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIS), Calcium channel blockers and muscle relaxants. Calcitonin gene related peptide antagonist, Ditans, Botulinum toxin type A, Orexin receptor antagonists etc were the recent novel agents in the treatment and management of migraine. These novel agents showed more affect than other medications in the acute and prophylactic management of migraines. They play a pivotal role in the standard care for migraine treatment that will improve the patient quality of life with better outcomes.

Objective: To explore the perceptions of women toward child birthing positions among women on the postnatal unit at Jimma Medical Center, Jimma town, Ethiopia, in 2020. Design: A descriptive phenomenological approach was employed among women from the postnatal unit and maternity care providers from the labor and delivery unit. Setting: Jimma Medical Center, south-west Ethiopia Participants: 40 study participants were selected purposively. 30 postnatal women were recruited for both an in-depth interview and a focus group discussion. From maternity health care providers, 10 health professionals were interviewed. Results: This study involved 30 study participants for in-depth interviews and one focus group discussion with 10 participants. Regarding the variables influencing the use of alternative birth positions in the medical facility, responses were obtained from both women and medical professionals. The women were placed in common supine positions because they were ignorant of other birth positions, because they were passive in allowing themselves to be in the position that they preferred, and because medical professionals lacked the necessary knowledge and expertise to provide alternative birth positions. Conclusion and Recommendations: The women were coerced to take birth positions against their will by healthcare providers. Thus, evidence-based alternative birth positions should be made available and implemented in order to enhance the practice of healthcare providers.

Authors: Riaz Salman , Naeem Muhammad Saqib , Liaquat Rida
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of CEO characteristics on Financial Conservatism, the moderating role of GDP Growth, and Interest Rate Spread. Financial Conservatism means a firm that is holding both high in cash holdings (cash conservative) and low in debt (debt conservative). 139 listed non-financial firm’s annual data, ranging from 2008 to 2017, is extracted from annual reports. The CEO characteristics consisting of CEO Age, CEO Duality, CEO Gender, CEO Tenure, and CEO Ownership are used as independent variables. GDP Growth and Interest Rate Spread are used as moderating variables and leverage is used as the control variable. The dependent variable is Financial Conservatism which is measured with net to debt ratio. The extracted figures are processed using panel data regression analysis under random effect assumptions. We use a logistic regression model for testing the hypothesis. The result shows that CEO Age and Tenure are linked with Financial Conservatism. The moderating effect of GDP Growth is negatively significant and Interest Rate Spread has a positive impact on Financial Conservatism (FC). Evidence shows that CEO Duality and Gender are not linked with Financial Conservatism. The moderating effect of GDP Growth is positively significant with CEO Duality and positively insignificant with CEO Gender but Interest Rate Spread has no relationship with Financial Conservatism. The additional analysis shows that CEO Ownership is negatively insignificant and linked with Financial Conservatism whereas GDP Growth is negatively significant but Interest Rate Spread moderates the link with Financial Conservatism. The current study encourages the benefit of industrial improvement by retaining the best mechanism in corporate governance. Thus, this study is beneficial for firms’ owners, managers, and investors, as Financial Conservatism firms are more cost-effective, low-risk investments and pay higher dividends than their non-conservative equivalents.

According to the criteria of internal stability and the measure of consent, questionnaires for a comprehensive assessment of treatment adherence to CAA-25 for pregnant women and legal representatives of patients were evaluated. In a descriptive one-stage study involving 96 pregnant women in Omsk with at least one previously born child, the level of treatment adherence was determined using the CAA-25 questionnaire, using the CAA-25 MB and CAA-25 MH questionnaires, with an assessment of internal stability and consent measures. The CAA-25 MB questionnaire demonstrated good internal stability (α 0.900, ast 0.912) with high reliability (consistent exclusion of scale points preserves the validity of the questionnaire in the range 0.889-0.910), with almost perfect agreement (κ 0.913). The CAA-25 MH questionnaire demonstrated good internal stability (α 0.902, ast 0.922) with high reliability (consistent exclusion of scale points preserves the validity of the questionnaire in the range of 0.884-0.902), with almost perfect agreement (κ 0.909), it is advisable to use the tested questionnaires to assess comprehensive adherence to treatment of pregnant women and legal representatives of patients.

Au cours des dernières années, la ville de Porto-Novo, située au sud du Bénin, a connu une forte pression démographique ainsi qu'une importante recomposition spatiale. Cette situation a eu pour conséquence une diminution de la disponibilité des terres agri coles dans la région. Afin de répondre aux besoins alimentaires croissants de la ville, de créer des emplois et de gérer l'environnement urbain de manière durable, l'agriculture urbaine a été identifiée com me une opportunité par les autorités politico- administratives locales. Cette étude visait à identifier les contraintes au développement de l'agriculture urbaine à Porto-Novo et à déterminer les types d'agriculture urbaine adaptés à la ville. La méthodologie de l'étude a consisté en une recherche documentaire sur l'agriculture urbaine, ainsi qu'en des entretiens avec des personnes ressources impliquées dans la promotion de l'agriculture urbaine au Bénin. Les résultats ont révélé des contraintes majeures comme l’acc ès difficile aux terres agricoles, l’insécurité foncière et l’accès limités aux crédits. Les types d'agriculture urbaine adaptés identifiés comprennent les jardins résidenti els, communautaires, institutionnels, et les fermes urbaines. Les autorités locales de la ville de Porto-Novo devraient promouvoir l’agriculture urbaine car elle offre des avantages tels que la sécurité alimentaire, la création d’emplois et une gestion environnementale durable. Un plan stratégique pour son développement est recommandé afin de maximise r ces bénéfices pour la population de Porto-Novo.

The work involved in gathering readings from utility metres for electrical use. In this project, we will use the Internet of Things (IoT) to automatically generate electricity bills for household appliances by measuring their power consumption and transmitting that data wirelessly. The IoT also allows us to detect when power is being used. Distributed topologies that can dynamically absorb multiple energy sources are necessary for the implementation of the energy grid. The Internet of Things (IoT) has several potential uses in smart grid applications, including smart metres for distributed energy plants, smart metres for both generation and consumption, demand side management, and other areas of energy production.
