Tensile Properties, Strain Rate Sensitivity and Microstructural Analysis of SN100C Solder Alloys
Authors: Gu Tian Hong , Jiang Shu Wei , Su Wen
Published: December 2024

Sn-Cu-Ni-Ge (SN100C®) is a high-performance Pb-free solder alloy widely used in the electronics manufacturing industry due to its excellent soldering performance and lower cost. SN100C has a huge potential to replace the commonly used Sn-Ag-Cu solders. This work investigates the effect of different strain rates (10-3 to 8×10-1s-1) on tensile performance for bulk SN100C samples at room temperature. The tensile properties, e.g., elastic modulus (E), yield strength (σy) and tensile strength (σT) are determined from the stress-stress curves. The value of σy and σT increases with increasing strain rates and this increase becomes less prominent at higher strain rates. Necking and ductile fracture are observed for all samples with a significant number of dimples, voids and tongues formed. The level of ductility of the samples decreases with increasing strain rates, which is further confirmed by the stress-strain behaviour. The microstructural evolution of the samples is evaluated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) to reveal the generation of recrystallisation and fracture of the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the fracture tips and identify the embedded of IMCs within the sample matrix.
African women, religion and pandemics: Some initial responses to COVID-19
Authors: Gathogo Julius M.
Published: December 2024

In citing some qualitative case studies and in building on analytical-survey research design, this article explores the place of African women in warding off the pandemics, with particular reference to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in its initial stages (March 2020). With Africa being the most religious continent in the 21st century, African women who led the onslaught against COVID-19 (refer to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf [EJS], Graca Machel, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Vera Songwe, Maria Ramos, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr and Blen Sahilu, among others), were largely informed by a religio-cultural concern for the ‘other’ (ubuntu). In demonstrating their sociocultural role of standing out as the bulwark against threats to familyhood, African women met in Monrovia-Liberia on 08 March 2020 during the inauguration of Amujae Leadership Forum that cropped up as a barricade against further COVID-19 spread. In a nutshell, the article draws from Sirleaf’s approach in combating the 2014–2016 Ebola pandemic and samples other leading African women’s contributors who played a pivotal role in responding to the initial stages of the pandemic, a phenomenon that traces its roots from the African heritage.Contribution: This article foregrounds the interface between African women, religious inspiration and health-related matters; and indeed enriches HTS Journal and the academic world. As by-products of a religiously inclined continent, African women’s initial response to the pandemic in March 2020 is well-rooted in their religio-cultural backcloth.
The opportunity cost of household transport expenditure in South Africa
Authors: Knipe Mienke , Krygsman Stephan
Published: December 2024

Background: Transport affordability is a significant concern for South African households, who spend nearly a fifth of their budgets on transport. Contributing factors include a lack of affordable public transport options and spatial mismatch. Since 2015, stagnating national budgets and a declining share allocated to the transport portfolio have exacerbated household transport expenses, limiting economic mobility.Objectives: This article examines how changes in household transport expenses impact other essential expenses such as food, housing, clothing, recreation and education. Understanding these expenditure trade-offs provides insights for policy, especially as the National Public Transport Subsidy Policy is being prepared.Method: Using data from the Living Conditions Survey of 2014/2015, the study applies fractional logit regression models to estimate the impact of varying household transport expenses on other expenditure categories across diverse household demographics.Results: Findings indicate that increased household transport expenses significantly reduces allocations to essential items, notably food and housing, with the effects varying by income level, settlement type, and household composition.Conclusion: A core recommendation is to reduce transport expenses for low-income households through government intervention as this will increase these, mostly previously disadvantaged households’, economic mobility.Contribution: Results show that if low-income households allocate no more than 10% of their expenditure budgets to transport, they could potentially increase their expenditure share on food (+1.30%) housing (+1.18%) clothing (+0.86%) recreation (+0.31%) and education (+0.08%).

Authors: Rostamzadeh Mehran , Husseini Abbas Ali , Mosier William
Published: December 2024

Background:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are known to mitigate impulsivity in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Aims and Objectives:

This study aims to evaluate their impact on impulsivity in individuals without BPD.

Materials and Methods:

A non-randomized trial using a convenience sampling method, was conducted with 65 patients exhibiting impulsive behaviors who visited the Amir Kabir Medical Center in Arak between January 20 and March 20, 2023. After excluding those who did not meet the inclusion criteria, 48 participants remained. These participants were divided into three groups: two experimental groups receiving either DBT or CBT, and a control group with no intervention. Both experimental groups underwent 14 sessions of 45 minutes each. Pretest and posttest evaluations were conducted using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), and the data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

Results:

The findings revealed a significant reduction in impulsive behaviors in both experimental groups compared to their pretest scores, with a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrates that the techniques employed can serve as an effective behavioral treatment package for impulsive behaviors in non-BPD patients.

Published: December 2024

Background:

Deep neck space infections (DNSI) are serious infections of the potential spaces of the neck. In developing countries, dental infections have been found to be the most common cause of these infections. The signs and symptoms depend on the neck space involved. Timely surgical drainage remains the main mode of treatment. This study aims to determine the predisposing factors and etiology responsible for these infections.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study of 1 year was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital setting and included 52 cases of clinically diagnosed DNSI. The clinico-demographic profile, microbiological profile, predisposing factors, and etiology of DNSI were recorded in all patients and analyzed.

Results:

The mean age was 43.46 ± 18.07 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.7:1. The most common presenting complaint was cervicofacial/oropharyngeal swelling (100%). The most frequently involved neck space was submandibular space (56%). Poor oral hygiene (78.8%), anemia (65.3%), and diabetes mellitus (55.7%) were the common predisposing factors, respectively. Streptococcus group of organisms were found in majority of the cases (19%) and cephalosporin was the most sensitive drug (100%). Dental infection was observed as the most common etiological cause (67.3%).

Conclusion:

Primary health-care physician should be aware of the signs and symptoms of DNSI so that early detection and timely referral can be done to prevent life threatening complications. Regular health and dental checkups should be encouraged for decreasing the incidence of these infections.
Koncepcje żeglugowego obejścia Gdańska w okresie międzywojennym
Authors: Zyglewski Zbigniew
Published: December 2024

Since the establishment of the Second Polish Republic and the Free City Danzig, the Polish side sought to connect the Vistula River to the Polish sea (Gdynia) by waterway, bypassing Gdańsk (Danzig). This issue has not been discussed in the literature, and the current study is primarily based on contemporary articles by water engineers and press reports. As early as 1919, there were ideas to run a water canal from Gniew through Kashubia to the Polish coast and from Tczew, bypassing the border of the Free City of Danzig, to Gdynia. Later, the idea of a canal running from Świecie or Bydgoszcz through Kashubia to Gdynia was born. The latter option was initially developed and discussed in 1937 at conferences held in Gdynia and Grudziądz. The possibility of creating a sea port in Tczew and connecting it to the sea was also considered. The options included deepening the Vistula to allow seagoing ships to navigate the river or constructing a separate sea canal. The canal had to be routed through the Free City of Danzig territory, and its route depended on its mouth on the sea. In the case of an exit in Nowy Port, a canal reaching Gdańsk was planned. The most popular option was the canal route from Tczew to Martwa Wisła, with an exit in either Świbno or Górki. The third method of connecting the Vistula with Gdynia involved using river barges to navigate from Gdańsk to Gdynia through the waters of the Bay of Gdańsk. Proposals were made to adapt river barges for sailing on sea waters, to transport barges on a specially adapted ship, or to build a canal or pier to protect barges navigating at sea. Except for floating barges between Gdańsk and Gdynia, which sailed between these ports on calm days, the remaining solutions were suggestions and visions of engineers. These ideas were very expensive, technically difficult to implement, and remained largely theoretical; nevertheless, they were widely discussed.
Blind-Folded: Simple Power Analysis Attacks using Data with a Single Trace and no Training
Authors: Hu Xunyue , Meunier Quentin L. , Encrenaz Emmanuelle
Published: December 2024

Side-Channel Attacks target the recovery of key material in cryptographic implementations by measuring physical quantities such as power consumption during the execution of a program. Simple Power Attacks consist in deducing secret information from a trace using a single or a few samples, as opposed to differential attacks which require many traces. Software cryptographic implementations usually contain a data-independent execution path, but often do not consider variations in power consumption associated to data. In this work, we show that a technique commonly used to select a value from different possible values in a control-independant way leads to significant power differences depending on the value selected. This difference is actually so important that a single sample can be considered for attacking one condition, and no training on other traces is required. We exploit this finding to propose a single-trace attack without any knowledge gained on previous executions, using trace folding. We target the two modular exponentiation implementations in Libgcrypt, getting respectively 100% and 99.998% correct bits in average on 30 executions using 2,048-bit exponents. We also use this technique to attack the scalar multiplication in ECDSA, successfully recovering all secret nonces on 1,000 executions. Finally, the insights we gained from this work allow us to show that a proposed countermeasure from the literature for performing the safe loading of precomputed operands in the context of windowed implementations can be attacked as well.
TPUXtract: An Exhaustive Hyperparameter Extraction Framework

Published: December 2024

Model stealing attacks on AI/ML devices undermine intellectual property rights, compromise the competitive advantage of the original model developers, and potentially expose sensitive data embedded in the model’s behavior to unauthorized parties. While previous research works have demonstrated successful side-channelbased model recovery in embedded microcontrollers and FPGA-based accelerators, the exploration of attacks on commercial ML accelerators remains largely unexplored. Moreover, prior side-channel attacks fail when they encounter previously unknown models. This paper demonstrates the first successful model extraction attack on the Google Edge Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), an off-the-shelf ML accelerator. Specifically, we show a hyperparameter stealing attack that can extract all layer configurations including the layer type, number of nodes, kernel/filter sizes, number of filters, strides, padding, and activation function. Most notably, our attack is the first comprehensive attack that can extract previously unseen models. This is achieved through an online template-building approach instead of a pre-trained ML-based approach used in prior works. Our results on a black-box Google Edge TPU evaluation show that, through obtained electromagnetic traces, our proposed framework can achieve 99.91% accuracy, making it the most accurate one to date. Our findings indicate that attackers can successfully extract various types of models on a black-box commercial TPU with utmost detail and call for countermeasures.

Published: December 2024

Türkler çok eski zamanlardan itibaren takvimlerinde yılları belirlemede hayvan adlarından yararlanmıştır. Türk kültüründe hayvanlara verilen önem ve hayvanlarla ilgili inanışlar Türklerin kullandığı takvime de yansımıştır. Türk kültüründe yılların hayvanlarla temsil edilmesi “on iki hayvanlı takvim”in oluşmasını sağlamıştır. Bu takvim, Türk topluluklarının eski zamanlardan bu yana en çok kullandıkları takvim sistemi olmuştur. Günümüzde hâlâ Türk kültüründe on iki hayvanlı takvimin kullanımı görülmekte, kimi Türk topluluklarında da bu takvimin etki ve izleri sürmektedir. Türk topluluklarında son zamanlarda bu takvim daha çok halk takvimi olarak anılmaktadır. Bu takvimde yer alan ve yılları belirten hayvanlar Türk toplulukları arasında bazı küçük farklılıklarla sırasıyla şu şekildedir: Sıçan/Fare, İnek, Pars, Tavşan, Ejder, Yılan, At, Koyun, Maymun, Tavuk, Köpek ve Domuz. Türklerde hayvan adlarıyla belirlenen bu yıllarla ilgili çeşitli inanışlar ya da kehanetler de ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu yılların; doğan çocuğun kişiliğini, karakterini ve geleceğini etkileyeceğine inanılmıştır. Bazı yıllar bahtlı veya kutlu, bazı yıllar ise zor yıllar ya da yokluk yılları olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Türk toplulukları kullandıkları bu takvimi zamanın şartlarına uyarak yabancı medeniyetlerdeki takvimle değiştirmişlerdir. Buna rağmen halk arasında on iki hayvanlı takvim yaşatılmış, en azından bu takvim Türk topluluklarının kültüründe etki ve izler bırakmıştır. Çuvaşların atalarının da eski zamanlarda diğer Türk toplulukları gibi aynı takvimi kullandığı anlaşılmaktadır. Günümüzde diğer pek çok Türk topluluğunda olduğu gibi, Çuvaşlar arasında da on iki hayvanlı takvimin etkilerinin ve izlerinin mevcut olduğu görülmektedir. Bu makalede genel olarak Türk kültüründe on iki hayvanlı takvim ve bu takvimin Çuvaş kültüründeki etki ve izleri incelenmiş, yakın zamanlara kadar diğer Türk topluluklarında olduğu gibi on iki hayvanlı takvimin Çuvaşlar arasında da kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Yıl adlarının Çuvaş Türkçesindeki karşılıkları ile diğer topluluklar arasındaki kullanımı arasında bir ortaklık söz konusudur. Bu ortaklık her bir yıl ile ilgili inanışlarda ve uygulamalarda da bulunmaktadır.

Analysis of Criminal Liability for the Issuance and Execution of Orders to Commit War Crimes by Servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: Features of Criminal Liability Under Ukrainian Legislation
Authors: Zahynei-Zabolotenko Zoiа , Khatniuk Nataliia , Gorbachov Dmytro , Andrusiak Hanna , Kvasha Roman , Chapliuk Oksana
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The article examines the issue of criminal liability for orders given by commanders and servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to their subordinates regarding violations of the laws and customs of war in Ukraine. It aims to establish the basis of criminal liability in such cases, focusing on the concept of command responsibility as outlined in international humanitarian law.
 
Methods: The analysis is based on a review of judicial practice in Ukraine, specifically examining how courts address the actions of commanders and servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The study investigates the legal framework surrounding command responsibility and the application of international humanitarian law in the context of the ongoing conflict.
 
Results: The findings indicate that courts typically do not charge commanders and servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the act of giving orders. Instead, they attribute specific violations of the laws and customs of war committed by their subordinates. The article confirms the formation of a legal axiom in judicial practice, stating that criminal liability arises for all servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces who, as part of a criminal organization, violate the laws and customs of war on the territory of Ukraine. An irrefutable legal presumption is identified, asserting that all servicemen are aware of and informed about the laws and customs of war they violated while executing criminal orders from the military-political leadership of the aggressor state.
 
Conclusion: The article concludes that considering the actions of servicemen through the lens of factual circumstances that exclude the criminal unlawfulness of their actions, such as executing an order or directive, is unacceptable. This perspective aligns with the standards of international humanitarian law, reinforcing the notion that accountability must be upheld for violations committed during armed conflict.

Published: December 2024

The development of the Ibu Kota Nusantara gave rise to the degradation of mechanical solidarity in indigenous communities. This article aims to examine the threat of mechanical solidarity that occurs in indigenous communities as a result of the development of the Ibu Kota Nusantara. The consequences of this threat must be recognized by various parties. This is important to provide space for existence, especially for local indigenous communities. The use of qualitative methods of the phenomenological type is the basis for the line of thought in this paper, where data is obtained through an observation process; interview; and document study. The data obtained was then analyzed using phenomenological analysis techniques. Based on Emile Durkheim’s theory of mechanical solidarity, the results show that indications of threat have clearly occurred as a result of IKN development. Threats to mechanical solidarity occur starting from land conversion which results in a crisis of local community identity and disintegration and leads to marginalization of local communities.

Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by the apical displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve, resulting in atrialization of the right ventricle and significant hemodynamic disturbances. This anomaly often presents with a spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe heart failure and cyanosis in neonatal life. The diagnostic process has been significantly enhanced by advancements in echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electrocardiographic techniques, enabling early detection and detailed assessment of structural abnormalities.

Treatment strategies for Ebstein’s anomaly are tailored according to the severity of the condition and patient age. While mild cases may be managed conservatively, severe forms necessitate surgical interventions, including tricuspid valve repair or replacement, bidirectional Glenn shunt, and occasionally the Fontan procedure. Novel approaches, such as cone repair, have shown promising outcomes in improving valve function and overall cardiac performance. This review article provides a detailed exploration of the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic advancements, and therapeutic options for Ebstein’s anomaly, with an emphasis on surgical innovations.

Published: December 2024

The rapidly growing demand for electric vehicles and the large body of knowledge generated by the semiconductor industry are driving the rapid advancement
of battery technology. By 2030, sales of new automobiles will be virtually entirely made up of electric vehicles (EVs). Next-generation batteries aim to target
EV adoption barriers such as cost, carbon footprint, and range per charge. To fulfil sustainability goals, combined with reuse and recycling, enhanced battery
lifecycle management and data collection/analysis are necessary. Additionally, firms in the semiconductor ecosystem are well-positioned to contribute to
the development of the next generation of batteries because of the strong relationships between semiconductors and automotive batteries. The new battery
pack being created by NASA researchers is lighter, safer, and performs better than batteries commonly used in vehicles and large electronics today. After
several years of successful work by a NASA activity called the Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety, the topic has now
piqued the interest of the government, business, and academia (SABERS). Battery performance is critical in the development of more environmentally
friendly electric aircraft.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Lumbosacral Spine among Young Arabic Patients with Back Pain
Authors: Wadyan Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Lower back pain is a significant health issue that affects approximately 80% of adults. Lumbar disc herniation is a common cause of this pain, and lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard for diagnosing disc abnormalities. Due to socioeconomic factors, there has been an increased interest in studying disc herniation among young individuals. This retrospective study involved 72 consecutive Arabic patients (34 females and 38 males) aged between 15 and 30 years, all presenting with lower back pain. The aim was to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging findings of the lumbosacral spine. Our study reveals a high prevalence of disc abnormalities in young patients, with approximately 40 individuals (55.6%) exhibiting varying degrees of disc prolapse and bulging. The older subgroup (ages 23-30) was more significantly affected, with no discernible sex predominance. The L4/L5 disc level was the most commonly involved (40%), and central disc prolapse was identified as the most frequent type, observed in 65% of cases. This study revealed a high prevalence of disc prolapse among individuals aged 15 to 30 years, which may be attributed to factors such as lifting heavy objects, obesity, and fluctuations in physical activity levels, both increased and decreased.
