The Data Carving - The Art of Retrieving Deleted Data as Evidence
Authors: Azeem Erej Azeem , Fatima
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes an approach to extract hidden information as sensitive data can be hidden by the criminal in free space or slack space. But there might be cases when there exists no file system metadata information for file recovery. For this purpose, Data Carving techniques are used by forensic examiners. If a file is carved in a forensically sound manner, it is then acceptable in a court of law. Many automated tools exist to carve data out of a hard drive. In this paper, we looked at how to carve data in an old-fashioned way followed by carving data using tools.

Doświadczenia mikroagresji w autobiograficznych
narracjach kobiet z niepełnosprawnością
Authors: Albin Kamila
Published: July 2023

The article explores manifestations and forms of microaggressions towards
women with disabilities. The analysis is based on autobiographical-narrative interviews with women activists and (self-)advocates with disabilities. Microaggressions are defined as attitudes and behaviours, often subtle or unintentional but full of prejudices, that are expressed in seemingly meaningless and harmless ways. The ephemeral nature of microaggressions make them difficult to identify, both for the perpetrator and the person who experiences them. The author claims they are a form of violence, often invisible. They usually occur in a variety of everyday situations: in public spaces, in the street during a casual interaction, when using public transport, in institutions, or during a visitto a medical care center. They can manifest themselves in a variety of ways,
from the asking of invasive questions about one's disability, to the physical incursion into one's private space - such as touching without warning, suddenly grabbing a person's arm, or pulling, etc. Continued exposure to this type of behaviour can have negative consequences in individuals lives. Cumulatively, they cause a drop in self-esteem, anger and frustration.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyse the distinctive cultural texts of animated television serials "for children", in which characters (both human and animal with intellectual, physical and social disabilities are subjected to manifestations of verbal, physical, financial, institutional, symbolic and other types of violence. Four correlating serials were chosen from a long list: "All Hail King Julien", "Penguins of Madagascar", "South Park" and "Włatcy Móch". The microsocieties in these serials are a reflection of today's social reality, which manifests itself in the depreciating, discriminating, marginalising and exclusionary stereotypes
they spread concerning disease, disability and old age. These societies
create social utopias where violence involving children and adults is common. This article is also intended for use in teaching.

Published: July 2023

Disabled parenthood, despite a certain degree of emancipation of these people, remains a taboo in public discussion. Numerous studies conducted over the last 20 years show that the conviction that a person with a disability should not become a parent still persists in society. However, women with visual impairment are determined to experience motherhood.forced to face stereotypical beliefs and attitudes concerning the idea of maternity during their encounters with health care staff. From appointments with a gynaecologist to having tests done at each stage of perinatal care, visually impaired women struggle with the oppression of the health care system, which does not cater for the special needs of people with an impairment. This problem culminates with their labour and post-natal hospital care. The article aims at presenting the research and discussing the issue of oppression experienced by impaired mothers within the health care system.

Published: July 2023

Sexual violence against people with intellectual disabilities is a serious problem, because despite the widespread change in attitudes to disability, there is no visible reduction in the phenomenon, but the forms of violence and the place where crimes are committed are changing. During the functioning of the social integration and community care model, paradoxically, the cause of undesirable events is the increasing isolation and dependence of charges on caregivers and aid providers. The victims of sexual violence are most often women and young girls with intellectual disabilities, but research shows an increase in violence also against men. The paper discusses the problem of sexual violence in the context of social theories and models interpreting intellectual disability.

Gradient Descent Batch Clustering for Image Classification
Authors: Park Jae-Sam
Published: July 2023

The batch clustering algorithm for classification application requires the initial parameters and also has a drifting phenomenon for the stochastic process. The initial parameters are critical for the clustering to con-verge to the partial optimum. The drifting phenomenon in original batch clustering still has space to be improved thus to speed up the convergence based on the initial parameters. This paper proposes an unsupervised clustering method by addressing these two issues. Firstly, the estimation method for the initial parameters has been given in preliminary with a hierarchical manner of principal component analysis (PCA). The nonlinear parameters have been estimated based on a mathematical connection between PCA and clusters membership. With initial parameters, the drifting issue is addressed by combing the gradient descent and the batch clustering on an auxiliary objective to refine the initial parameters. The efficiency of the clustering process is proved based on the relationship between two quadratic functions followed by a justification. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed method has been validated with the statistical F measure in classification application. The validation results show that the efficiency of the proposed gradient descent batch clustering has been improved significantly with trade-off to the accuracy in comparison of the original algorithms under the mean squared error (MSE) criterion.

Authors: An Gyubaek , Park Jeongung , Seong Daehee , Han Ilook
Published: July 2023

High-manganese austenitic steel has been developed as a new cryogenic steel for application in liquified natural gas (LNG) storage and fuel tanks, with improved fracture toughness and safety at cryogenic temperatures. Generally, the fracture toughness decreases at lower temperatures; therefore, cryogenic steel requires a high fracture toughness to prevent unstable fractures. This study conducted unstable ductile fracture tests with 30-mm-thick high-manganese austenitic steel and evaluated its applicability to LNG storage and fuel tanks. The ductile fracture resistance in the weld joints was evaluated, including the weld metal and heat-affected zone. The unstable fracture resistance was evaluated for different LNG tank types. It was found that high-manganese austenitic steel has excellent unstable fracture characteristics and good material performance as a cryogenic steel; therefore, it can be applied in LNG storage and fuel tanks.

Authors: Jamadi Maryam , Darkhor Forough , Seyyed Asiye , Ghasemian Seyedeh Ommolbanin , Gholami-Ahangaran Majid
Published: July 2023

Background: Electromagnetic radiation has different effects on body organs, including gonads and fertility. Information about the harmful impacts of Wi-Fi radiation on the oxidant-antioxidant system of ovarian tissue is limited. Objectives: Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the influence of eight weeks of aerobic exercise along with garlic supplements on the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and sex hormones in the ovarian tissue of rats under Wi-Fi electromagnetic radiation. Methods: This experimental study was performed on 40 Sprague Dawley female rats aged about 8 weeks. The animals were randomly divided into 5 groups: control, Wi-Fi radiation, aerobic exercise + Wi-Fi radiation, garlic supplement + Wi-Fi radiation, and aerobic exercise + garlic supplement + Wi-Fi radiation. Wi-Fi radiation was induced 1 h/day at a frequency of 2.45 GHz from a Wi-Fi modem. Endurance exercise was performed as three 60-minute sessions per week for 8 weeks with 50%-60% maximum running speed. Garlic supplement was given to rats for 8 weeks in drinking water at the dose of 800 mg/kg daily. Results: The results of this study showed that Wi-Fi radiation led to a decrease in the SOD and GPx levels, as well as an increase in the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and MDA levels in rats (P ≤ 0.05). Moreover, garlic supplements diminished the FSH and MDA concentrations, as well as elevated the SOD levels in rats under Wi-Fi radiation. It was observed that aerobic exercise caused a decline in the FSH and MDA levels and a rise in the luteinizing hormone and SOD of the rats under Wi-Fi radiation. Furthermore, aerobic exercise along with garlic supplements reduced the FSH levels and augmented the SOD and GPx concentrations in rats under Wi-Fi radiation (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: According to the findings of the present study, aerobic exercise and garlic supplements both have lowering effects on oxidative stress and synergistically increase antioxidants. In addition, aerobic exercise and garlic supplements alone improve the sex hormones of rats exposed to Wi-Fi radiation.
Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia, More Attention Is Needed in Cases with Prolonged Abdominal Pain: A Case Report and Brief Review
Authors: Tahooni Azadeh , Eftekhari Seyedshahin , Kabir Ali
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Symptomatic chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare condition that usually occurs due to mesenteric artery stenosis (MAS) with a common incidence. Although the prevalence of symptomatic CMI is less than 2%, MAS is more common in the elderly. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman with prolonged eating-related abdominal pain and weight loss treated as cholelithiasis by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was readmitted by recurrent epigastric pain. At this time, she was reevaluated by computed tomography angiography (CTA), and CMI was confirmed. She was treated with percutaneous mesenteric artery stenting and was discharged without pain. There were no complications or pain after 3 months of follow-up. Conclusions: The most prevalent causes of CMI are atherosclerotic processes, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, overweight, metabolic syndrome, and smoking. The diagnosis of CMI is confirmed by CTA. Recently, endovascular treatment by percutaneous mesenteric artery stenting is more common than the surgical approaches because of lower in- and out-hospital complications.

Published: July 2023

Background: Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital disorder of the tricuspid valve (TV), accounting for about one percent of congenital heart defects. Considering highly variable anatomy, diverse corrective surgical methods are currently utilized. Cone reconstruction provides a near anatomic tricuspid restoration method that has triggered enthusiasm for early repair over recent years. Objectives: In the current study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic features and outcomes of patients who underwent surgical correction of EA in our referral center. Methods: In this study, we reviewed the medical records of 35 patients with EA who underwent cone repair or TV replacement and had accessible echocardiographic data before and at least one year following the corrective surgery. The patients were evaluated for residual tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity, right ventricular (RV) size, RV fractional area change (FAC), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and 2D left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after the operation. Results: Mean age of the patients was 29.49 ± 9.13 years, and 54.3% of them were female. Twenty-one (60%) patients underwent cone repair, and 14 were subjected to TV replacement. Seven (20%) patients required reoperation; redo TV repair was conducted in three patients (8.6%); two (5.7%) patients underwent biologic TV replacement; mechanical TV replacement was performed in one patient (2.9%) who had degenerative biologic TVs, and one patient (2.9%) was subjected to redo-operation due to mechanical TV malfunction. Positive changes in the means of RV-FAC and 2D-LVEF were statistically significant in all patients irrespective of the type of surgery (P < 0.001), but changes in the means of RV size (P = 0.38) and LVESD (P = 0.302) were not statistically significant. There was a significant increase in functional RV size in both groups of patients who underwent repair (P = 0.063) or replacement (P = 0.02). Conclusions: The present study revealed satisfactory post-op results for cone TV repair in patients with EA, evidenced by reduced TR severity and improved biventricular functional parameters. Assessing the durability of the outcomes of cone TV repair needs longer-term follow-ups.

Authors: Sajedianfard Javad , Alivand Mohammad , Ahmadi Jokani Saeedeh
Published: July 2023

Background: Normal weight obesity (NWO), known as a syndrome, is characterized by normal weight and body mass index (BMI) but high adipose tissue (more than 30%). Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between adipokines and lipid factors as risk factors in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and NWO syndrome in women. Methods: In this case-control study, anthropometric data were obtained from 20 - 40-year-old women referring to nutrition and diet clinics in Ahvaz, Iran. Then, based on the inclusion criteria, including normal BMI and no physical or mental illness, the subjects were divided into the NWO (body fat percentage (BF%) > 30) group and the non-NWO (BF% < 30) group depending on their BF%. Twenty blood samples were taken from each group, and their chemerin and adipokine serum levels were measured using both the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method with high sensitivity and the sandwich and competitive ELISA techniques. Results: The serum levels of adipokine chemerin and IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), as well as the serum concentrations of triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and total cholesterol, were significantly higher in the NWO group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated a significant correlation between chemerin, adipokines, and lipid factors, as CVD risk factors, and NWO syndrome and fat tissue percentages in women. Therefore, fat tissue measurement is recommended as a more accurate index than BMI in predicting CVDs.

The aim of this study is to identify the quality and potential health or carcinogenic risks of raw and purified water of Cankiri/Turkey. Firstly, the water parameters were compared with the permissible limits. As, Hg and Ni levels were found to be above the Turkish and WHO permissible limits. Then, using physicochemical parameters, the water quality index (WQI) rating determined that the quality of the water was good. When heavy metals were used to calculate the WQI value, the water quality was determined to be low or very low quality due to the high levels of heavy metals in the samples. The oral and dermal hazard coefficient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) of heavy metals were evaluated for health risk assessment. HQing and HI indices of As and Hg were higher than one. It is also carcinogenic risk assessments indicated that As, B[ghi]P, total PAHs and THMs were also found >10−5. These assessments have revealed the potential risks to humans and can be used by managers to determine the necessary drinking water treatment strategy to ensure the safety of consumers.

Penggunaan Teori Kognitivisme dalam Proses Pembelajaran di MIN 1 Lebong
Authors: Dewi Nurhayani , Sari Purnama
Published: July 2023

Teori Perkembangan Kognitif, dikembangkan oleh Jean Piaget, seorang psikolog Swiss yang hidup pada tahun 1896-1980. Teorinya memberikan banyak konsep kunci di bidang psikologi perkembangan dan memengaruhi perkembangan konsep kecerdasan, yang bagi Piaget berarti kemampuan untuk lebih tepatnya mewakili dunia dan melakukan operasi logis pada representasi konsep yang didasarkan pada kenyataan. Teori ini membahas kemunculan dan perolehan skemata tentang bagaimana seseorang memandang lingkungannya dalam tahap perkembangan, ketika seseorang memperoleh cara baru dalam merepresentasikan informasi secara mental. Pada proses pembelajaran di MIN 1 Lebong pembelajaran berbasis kognitivisme ini terlihat dari tindakan yang dilakukan oleh siswa-siswi dan terlihat dari motivasi mereka mengena rasa ingin tahu yang sangat tinggi. Teori ini digolongkan sebagai konstruktivisme, artinya, tidak seperti teori nativisme (yang menggambarkan perkembangan kognitif sebagai munculnya pengetahuan dan kemampuan bawaan), ia berpendapat bahwa kita membangun kemampuan kognitif kita melalui tindakan motivasi diri terhadap lingkungan.

The theory provided many of the key concepts in the field of developmental psychology and influenced the development of the concept of intelligence, which for Piaget meant the ability to more accurately represent the world and perform logical operations on representations of concepts based on reality. This theory concerns the emergence and acquisition of schemata about how a person views the world during the developmental stage, when a person acquires new ways of representing information mentally. This theory is classified as constructivism, meaning that, unlike nativism theory (which describes cognitive development as the display of innate knowledge and abilities), it argues that we build our cognitive abilities through self-motivated actions on the environment.

Waste NBR rubber gloves have become an environmental burden because the chemically cross-linked NBR gloves can’t be recycled. In this particular research, an initiative was made to turn the NBR waste glove into an oil absorbent mat by using the amount of chemical cross-linking inside the NBR waste glove triggered by solvents and with the help of epoxy resin as a binding agent. The absorption test used two types of oil: cooking oil and engine oil. To justify the relationship between the developed oil absorbent mat and its absorption behaviour, various tests, namely the Fourier transform infrared radiation (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and absorbency test, were conducted. Epoxy resin was used as a binding agent in the production of oil-absorbing mats made from waste NBR gloves. The NBR gloves mixed with binding agents of epoxy resin mats have proven to be an effective medium for oil absorbance purposes.

Augmented reality has a direct connection to the visual perception of information. Scientists lamented that individuals perceive 70 to 80 percent of the information they receive with their eyes. Based on the claim, it can be deduced that AR has a major role to play in the learning process. This study aims to determine whether AR is age-friendly and to enable its use for learning across all age groups at all educational levels. The study adopts a qualitative survey design. The population of the study includes all students currently in Sokoto State, Nigeria (across all levels). The purposive sampling technique is used to select 192 students who have experience using AR for learning. For the study, an instrument called AR Key Information Interview was developed. It was validated, a pilot study was conducted, and a reliability index of 0.83 was found using Chrombact Alpha. The study finds that AR is age-friendly and can be used at all educational levels. The study concluded that AR is one of the best technologies that can promote lifelong learning in the 21st century. The study therefore recommended that more AR be developed to facilitate the implementation of our national curriculum for sustainable national development.

Entrepreneurs shape each nation’s economic development, which drives the creation of small and medium size (SMEs) companies. The willingness of an individual to engage in the creation of a commercial venture, linking ‘ideas to action’ is known as entrepreneurial intentions. This is the commencement of an entrepreneurship journey and a firm antecedent of entrepreneurial traits which underpin succeeding actions. From a psychological perspective, there is a need to better understand an entrepreneur’s mindset and traits, in contrast, to that of the economic perception which emphasises the person’s ability to be innovative. Psychologists’ point of view explains the importance of understanding individual personality and behaviour in recognizing opportunities, and this is what entrepreneurial impetus is all about. The mindset of an entrepreneur plays a role in the thinking process of business formation. Trait theory approaches the concept of entrepreneurs from the view that they have a set of inherent characteristics. It is established in this review that the mindset of entrepreneurs (values, beliefs, and behaviors), what they do, having the ability to (identify opportunities), with creative and innovative capabilities to take an inherent risk and start a new venture.

Here, the impact of different groups on the geometrical parameters, dipole moments, atomic charges, stabilization and solvation energies, molecular electrostatic potentials, densities rings, positions IR and UV bands and NMR chemical shifts of all members of the series of 1X-benzotriazole derivatives (X= H, CH3, Cl, NH2 and OH) have been investigated by using hybrid B3LYP/6-311++G** calculations because, so far, correlations among their properties neither the vibrational analyses are reported yet. The polarity of N-X bonds, electronegativity, donor/acceptor characteristics of the different X groups were analysed for all members. The polarity of N1-X4 bonds have influence on dipole moments, volumes and on bond lengths of both rings while the chlorinated derivative has a higher reactivity due to its higher global electrophilicity index. NBO and AIM studies reveal the strong influence of Cl on densities of both rings of CBT and, on this derivative. Harmonic force fields evidence very good correlations between stretching force constants and assignments.
Terrorism in the digital environment

Published: July 2023

The spread of digital technologies and their power to connect billions of people around the world, has enabled modern society to communicate more efficiently, access information, do business, but also have fun. However, there are many examples in which this possibility is abused for cybercriminal activities, among which is certainly cyber terrorism. Through the activities of traditional terrorism, terrorists try to provoke anxiety in the population, choosing targets randomly or selectively, against which violence is committed, with the intention of serving as an example to other members of society. Such incitement to fear is precisely the means of terrorist individuals and groups, who want to put pressure on the government and the general public to meet their demands. Recently, there are more and more examples in which such activities are moving (with more or less success) to the digital environment. Cyber terrorism is a means of spreading radical ideology, propaganda, recruiting likeminded people, but also organizing cyber terrorist attacks. The advantage that a terrorist activist sees in using such methods is certainly the possibility to remain anonymous and easily hide in the cyber world. Cybercriminals easily adapt and find new methods of committing cyberbullying, which must be a call to governments to regulate legislation in a synchronized effort, but also to form expert teams that will identify, prevent and adequately sanction such criminal activities and protect their population and critical infrastructure. This paper seeks to bring closer and present information to the academic community, but also to experts in the field of cyber terrorism that can help them improve strategies for recognizing and defending against such cyber activities. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the collected information from the available scientific literature and to offer new guidelines in order to reduce such activities to a minimum in the near future.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement is currently the standard technique for treating unresectable malignant distal biliary obstructions (MDBO). Therefore, covered SEMS with longer stent patency and fewer migrations are required. This study aimed to assess the clinical performance of a novel, fully covered SEMS for unresectable MDBO.Methods: This was a multicenter single-arm prospective study. The primary outcome was a non-obstruction rate at 6 months. The secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), time to RBO (TRBO), technical and clinical success, and adverse events.Results: A total of 73 patients were enrolled in this study. The non-obstruction rate at 6 months was 61%. The median OS and TRBO were 233 and 216 days, respectively. The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 97%, respectively. Furthermore, the rate of occurrence of RBO and adverse events was 49% and 21%, respectively. The length of bile duct stenosis (<2.2 cm) was the only significant risk factor for stent migration.Conclusions: The non-obstruction rate of a novel fully covered SEMS for MDBO is comparable to that reported earlier but shorter than expected. Short bile duct stenosis is a significant risk factor for stent migration.
