Kode Autentikasi Hash pada Pesan Teks Berbasis Android
Authors: Pairin Yusfrizal Bin
Published: September 2018

Autentikasi merupakan hal yang sangat penting dalam pengiriman informasi baik berbentuk data ataupun pesan teks. Hal ini dikarenakan dibutuhkan autentikasi terhadap keaslian dan keutuhan data pada saat pertukaran informasi. Fungsi Hash merupakan salah satu fungsi yang memberikan layanan untuk verifikasi dan autentikasi karena fungsi ini menghasilkan nilai yang unik untuk setiap masukan. Fungsi Hash disebut juga fungsi satu arah karena sangat sulit untuk mengembalikan ke input awal dengan fungsi Hash. Fungsi Hash dapat digunakan untuk menjaga keutuhan (integritas) data dengan cara membangkitkan message digest dari isi arsip (misalnya dengan menggunakan algoritma MD5). Verifikasi isi arsip dapat dilakukan secara berkala dengan membandingkan message digest dari isi arsip sekarang dengan message digest dari arsip asli. Jika terjadi perbedaan, maka disimpulkan ada modifikasi terhadap isi arsip (atau terhadap message digest yang disimpan). Tetapi bagaimanapun, Hash juga mempunyai kelemahan karena MD5 telah dianggap tidak aman penggunaannya untuk digital signature. Namun, SHA-1 masih dianggap cukup aman. Untuk lebih aman lagi, SHA-256, SHA-384 atau SHA-512 dapat digunakan. Pada aplikasi yang dirancang ini memunculkan nilai Hash yang telah digenerasi dengan berbagai fungsi Hash, meliputi MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. Aplikasi ini juga dapat membandingkan persamaan dua pesan teks yang diregenerasi menggunakan SHA-256.

Biotechnological products, like all other medicinal products, have to comply with efficacy, safety and quality requirements. Quality evaluation of medicines includes assessment of test methods used to control medicinal product quality (described in product specification files provided by the manufacturer), laboratory testing of samples using these methods, as well as assessment of the registration dossier materials, including materials on test method validation included into the product specification files. One of the most important quality parameters of biotechnological products is biological activity, i.e. specific ability of a product to induce a desired biological effect. The article presents the results of a detailed analysis of methods used for determination of biological (specific) activity that are described in product specification files of various biotechnological products. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the importance of proper presentation of methods used for assessment of biological (specific) activity of biotechnological products and familiarise specialists engaged in elaboration of product specification files with the principles of presenting data in the «Biological (specific) safety» section. The analysis of documentation helped summarise the most common mistakes and omissions, formulate general recommendations concerning the description of methods, develop a general structure of the «Biological (specific) safety» section with detailed guidance on what to include in each of the subsections. Rationalisation of information presented in this part of the product specification files will help reduce the number of expert body’s requests for additional information/documents and will help ensure that laboratory testing is performed at a high professional level and within a prescribed period of time.
Heat Transfer Correlations on Combustion Chamber Surface of Diesel Engine - Experimental Work
Authors: KUMAR Shiva , KUMAR Ajeet , SHARAMA Abhilash Rai , KUMAR Amit
Published: September 2018

Design
and control of recently developing engines have much important towards better
fuel economy and reduction in exhaust emissions from an engine. Since the
ignition takes place due to high compression (or) self ignition of temperature
in case of diesel engines, the temperature distribution and heat flux on the
combustion chamber surface are an important phenomenon. 

While modifying the profile of combustion chamber of diesel engine, it
is important to relocate the hot spot regions on the combustion chamber surface
which supports combustion initiation. With these hot spot regions on combustion
chamber surface regulates/controls ignition delay period which results in
controlled detonation. In diesel engines, controlled detonation which in turn
improves engine performance and reduced emissions. Therefore, to include the hot spot regions at proper
locations, it is required to measure the temperature values at different locations/coordinates
with the help of thermocouples on the cylinder head surface exposed to
combustion chamber. Also the adiabatic flame temperature, the engine
performance parameters, heat balance date, convection and radiation heat
transfer related terms were calculated and analyzed

STUDI KASUS PENERAPAN VENDOR MANAGED INVENTORY PADA SISTEM RANTAI PASOK
Authors: Martono (Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen PPM) Ricky
Published: September 2018

Konsep Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) merupakan salah satu pendekatan dalam mengelola inventori yang efisien antara pemasok dan konsumen di dalam sebuah sistem rantai pasok. Dengan VMI, pemasok  menempatkan  inventorinya  di  konsumen,  namun  kepemilikan  inventori  berpindah  kepada konsumen ketika inventori digunakan. Keuntungan menerapkan VMI diantaranya adalah mengurangi proses pemesanan inventori dan mengurangi pemakaian ruang penyimpanan inventori di pemasok. Untuk mencapai ini dibutuhkan koordinasi, komunikasi, dan kehandalan sistem produksi dan pemesanan inventori yang tangguh untuk menerapkan VMI. Dalam kondisi dimana pemasok merupakan anak perusahaan dari konsumen, maka koordinasi tidak selalu menempatkan pemasok dan konsumen pada posisi setara. Terlebih ketika infrastruktur pemasok tidak sekuat konsumen. Penelitian ini dikhususkan pada studi kasus di sebuah perusahaan farmasi dan pemasoknya dimana pemasok merupakan anak perusahaannya. Informasi diperoleh melalui wawancara kepada pihak terkait di pemasok dan konsumen. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan kelebihan dan hambatan dalam menerapkan VMI, sehingga dibutuhkan komitmen jangka panjang untuk mencapai keberhasilan yang lebih baik.

An ideological asymmetry in the diffusion of moralized content among political elites
Authors: Brady William J. , Van Bavel Jay Joseph , Jost John , Wills Julian Augustus
Published: September 2018

Online social networks constitute a major platform for the exchange of moral and political ideas, and political elites increasingly rely on social media platforms to communicate directly with the public. However, little is known about the processes that render some political elites more influential than others when it comes to online communication. Here, we gauge influence of political elites on social media by examining how message factors (characteristics of the communication) interact with source factors (characteristics of elites) to impact the diffusion of elites’ messages through Twitter. We analyzed messages (N = 286,255) sent from federal politicians (Presidential candidates, Senate, House of Representatives) in the year leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election – a period in which Democrats and Republicans sought to maximize their influence over potential voters. Across all types of elites, we found a ‘moral contagion’ effect: elites’ use of moral-emotional language was robustly associated with increases in message diffusion. We also discovered an ideological asymmetry: conservative elites gained greater diffusion when using moral-emotional language compared to liberal elites, even when accounting for extremity of ideology and other source cues. Specific moral emotion expressions related to moral outrage—namely, moral anger and disgust—were particularly impactful for elites across the political spectrum, whereas moral emotion expression related to religion and patriotism were more impactful for conservative elites. These findings help inform the scientific understanding of political propaganda in the digital age, and also the potential antecedents of political polarization that is rapidly growing in American politics.
Chants d'oiseaux, cris de cochons et bruits des petites bestioles : les sons de la divination chez les Alangan de Mindoro (Philippines)
Authors: Laugrand Frédéric B. , Laugrand Antoine , Tremblay Guy
Published: September 2018

Chez les Alangan de Mindoro (Philippines), les oiseaux (à l'exception du poulet) et les petites bestioles ne sont ni chassés ni consommés. Ces animaux occupent plutôt une place singulière dans les savoirs divinatoires et dans la cosmologie, y compris dans le contexte d'une christianisation récente. Oiseaux et insectes se manifestent surtout par les sons qu'ils produisent et se rendent visibles aux humains lorsque des dangers se profilent. Ils jouent le rôle d'augures auprès des vivants. À partir de données encore fragmentaires sur les sons, les auteurs mettent en rapport l'haruspicine, l'ornithomancie et l'entomancie. Dans la perspective de développer une analyse comparée aux Philippines, ils concluent sur l'intérêt de développer davantage une ethno-entomologie sonore.
Avant-propos : Retour sur le débat relatif aux territoires de chasse familiaux algonquiens
Authors: Morantz Toby
Published: September 2018

Il y a trente-deux ans, Anthropologica consacrait un double numéro aux controverses et polémiques ayant fait rage autour du régime foncier des Algonquiens du nord, notamment autour de la nature des territoires de chasse familiaux, identifiés et désignés pour la première fois par Frank Speck en 1915, conformément aux conceptions occidentales de la propriété. En 1970, les voix dominantes étaient celles d'Eleanor Leacock et de Julian Steward qui réfutaient tous deux l'affirmation de Speck selon laquelle ce régime foncier était autochtone. Ceux-ci soutenaient, au contraire, qu'il était issu du commerce européen de la fourrure. L'opposition était si forte qu'on en est venu à la qualifier de débat. Par la suite, dans les années 1970, des étudiants en anthropologie ont découvert que les territoires de chasse familiaux, notamment ceux des Cris de l'est de la baie James, les Eeyou Istchee, ne correspondaient pas à ce qu'en disait la littérature. Revenant sur la publication de 1986, cette communication retrace l'histoire de ce débat et extrait des articles des différents auteurs les principaux arguments relatifs aux pratiques des Cris et des autres peuples subarctiques. Parmi les sujets abordés figurent la nature de la territorialité, la flexibilité du système cri, les attentes des maitres de chasse, le chevauchement entre systèmes traditionnels et gouvernementaux, la gestion des ressources et la documentation historique de l'existence précoce de territoires de chasse familiaux. Leacock ayant formulé son rejet de l'idée d'un développement précoce des territoires de chasse familiaux à la lumière du communisme primitif, ce thème est lui aussi réexaminé.

EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS MODEL BY IFRS 9 AND ITS POSSIBLE EARLY IMPACTS ON EUROPEAN AND TURKISH BANKING SECTOR
Authors: SULTANOĞLU Banu
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT

IFRS
9 – ²Financial
Instruments², the replacement of IAS 39 – ²Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement²
was issued by International Accounting Standards Board in July, 2014 and became
mandatory on January 1, 2018. The significant change implemented in the new
standard is about the “impairment” phase which is based on "Expected
Credit Losses" (ECL) rather than "Incurred Credit Losses". In
this study, the measurement and recognition of allowances for impairment are
explained and then the expected possible qualitative and quantitative effects
of this transition primarily in the European Banking Industry are analyzed and compared
with Turkish Banking Industry. It is
expected that, ECL application by European banks would result in on average 13%-18%
increase in loss provisions and Common Equity
Tier 1 (CET1) and total capital ratio decrease by on average 45-75 basis points
(bps) and 35-50 bps, respectively whereas the total amount of provisions
will be diminishing by 4.1% and will have 33 bps and 21 bps positive impacts on
CET1 and total capital adequacy ratio on average, respectively for Turkish banks.

Objective: To compare the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay and frozen sections.Material and Method: One hundred and twenty patients with early breast cancer and no clinical nodal involvement underwent intraoperative sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) evaluation and undertaken axillary lymph nodes dissection (ALND) at the Department of Surgery, Songklanagarind Hospital from March 1st, 2011-November 30th, 2014.Results: A total of 213 SLNs were evaluated (mean 1.84 nodes). The accuracy of the OSNA assay compared to histological evaluation was 95.7%. The OSNA assay performance was: sensitivity 100% (25/25); specificity 95.2% (179/188); positive predictive value (PPV) 73.5% (25/34) and negative predictive value (NPV) 100% (179/179). Turnaround time was an average 39.6 minutes. The accuracy of frozen sections compared to histological evaluation was 99.1%. The frozen sections performance was: sensitivity 92% (23/25); specificity 100% (188/188); PPV 100% (23/23) and NPV 98.9% (188/190). After discordant analysis, the PPV of the OSNA assay on nodes with macrometastases (++) was 100% (25/25), and the result on nodes with micrometastases (+) was 75% (3/4). The accuracy of OSNA after review was thus 99.5%.Conclusion: The OSNA assay is accurate and rapid for SLN evaluation and it can replace the frozen section in general practice.

Published: September 2018

Objective: To determine the antimalarial activity of ethanol crude extracts from 20 Thai herbs against Plasmodiumfalciparum (P. falciparum) chloroquine-resistant strain TM267. Molecular docking of the active compounds from the selected Thaiherbs were analyzed with Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (PfDHFR).Material and Method: An in vitro study of antimalarial activity against P. falciparum TM267 was done using a parasitelactate dehydrogenese assay, and the cytotoxic effects of extracts were tested against Vero cells using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) and 50%cytotoxicity concentration were calculated from the dose-response curves. Molecular docking and post-dockingwere analyzed with the x-ray crystal structure of PfDHFR-thymidylate synthase complexed with pyrimethamine,nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and deoxyuridylate.Results: Of these, the Plumbago indica L. root extract showed high antimalarial activity, with an IC50 value of 3.7μg/ml and less cytotoxicity when tested against Vero cells, followed by the Citrus hystrix DC. fruit extract, Vitex trifoliaLinn. root extract, Ocimum sanctum L. leave extract, of Allium sativum L. bulb extract and Salacia chinensis L. stem extract,respectively. All 7 active compounds reported from these herbal extracts had high docking scores against PfDHFR.The Citrusoside C from Citrus hystrix DC. had the highest docking score.Conclusion: It could be purposed that there were active compounds in Plumbago indica L., Vitex trifolia Linn. and Citrus hystrix DC. which are potential inhibitors against malaria that could bind to the active site of PfDHFR. However, the active Citrusosides from Citrus hystrix DC. should be further investigated for their effectiveness against malaria.

Social Characterization of the Medieval and Modern Population from Joué-lès-Tours (France): Contribution of Oral Health and Diet
Authors: Miclon V. , Gaultier M. , Genies C. , Cotté O. , Yvernault F. , Herrscher E.
Published: September 2018

The social and cultural changes that occurred between the medieval and modern periods in urban contexts are well documented; however, those in rural contexts are less well understood. This research aims to bridge this gap by analysing changes in dietary practices and oral health conditions between the medieval and modern eras, and by identifying their relationship with the social status of individuals buried at the rural site of the church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul in Joué-lès-Tours (Indre-et-Loire, France). The objectives of this study are to jointly analyse the isotopic data concerning the diet of 37 individuals and the osteological and archaeological data, and to tie these results in with local historical and archaeozoological data. While the burial practices identified between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries suggest social distinctions between groups of individuals, the study of diet (δ13C and δ15N) and the state of oral health point to a homogeneous social group characterized by the preferential consumption of pig meat, poultry and freshwater resources, and a degraded state of health. The available parochial registers and regional archaeozoological knowledge tend to confirm this hypothesis. This study confirms the relevance of the isotopic tool, which supplies dietary information to reinforce the archaeo-anthropological framework of interpretation, and also provides a critical examination of some of the criteria used to discuss the social composition of a set.

OBJECTIVE

Among clinical and morphological criteria, hemodynamics is the main predictor of aneurysm growth and rupture. This study aimed to identify which hemodynamic parameter in the parent artery could independently predict the rupture of anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms by using multivariate logistic regression and two-piecewise linear regression models. An additional objective was to look for a more simplified and convenient alternative to the widely used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to detect wall shear stress (WSS) as a screening tool for predicting the risk of aneurysm rupture during the follow-up of patients who did not undergo embolization or surgery.

METHODS

One hundred sixty-two patients harboring ACoA aneurysms (130 ruptured and 32 unruptured) confirmed by 3D digital subtraction angiography at three centers were selected for this study. Morphological and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated for significance with respect to aneurysm rupture. Local hemodynamic parameters were obtained by MR angiography and transcranial color-coded duplex sonography to calculate WSS magnitude. Multivariate logistic regression and a two-piecewise linear regression analysis were performed to identify which hemodynamic parameter independently characterizes the rupture status of ACoA aneurysms.

RESULTS

Univariate analysis showed that WSS (p < 0.001), circumferential wall tension (p = 0.005), age (p < 0.001), the angle between the A1 and A2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery (p < 0.001), size ratio (p = 0.023), aneurysm angle (p < 0.001), irregular shape (p = 0.005), and hypertension (grade II) (p = 0.006) were significant parameters. Multivariate analyses showed significant association between WSS in the parent artery and ACoA aneurysm rupture (p = 0.0001). WSS magnitude, evaluated by a two-piecewise linear regression model, was significantly correlated with the rupture of the ACoA aneurysm when the magnitude was higher than 12.3 dyne/cm2 (HR 7.2, 95% CI 1.5–33.6, p = 0.013).

CONCLUSIONS

WSS in the parent artery may be one of the reliable hemodynamic parameters characterizing the rupture status of ACoA aneurysms when the WSS magnitude is higher than 12.3 dyne/cm2. Analysis showed that with each additional unit of WSS (even with a 1-unit increase of WSS), there was a 6.2-fold increase in the risk of rupture for ACoA aneurysms.
Outcomes in socioeconomically disadvantaged patients with spinal cord injury: a systematic review
Authors: Jorge Ahmed , White Michael D. , Agarwal Nitin
Published: September 2018

OBJECTIVE

Individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in socioeconomically disadvantaged settings (e.g., rural or low income) have different outcomes than their counterparts; however, a contemporary literature review identifying and measuring these outcomes has not been published. Here, the authors’ aim was to perform a systematic review and identify these parameters in the hope of providing tangible targets for future clinical research efforts.

METHODS

A systematic review was performed to find English-language articles published from 2007 to 2017 in the PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases. Studies evaluating any outcomes related to patients with an SCI and in a low-resource setting were included. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and a flowchart was created. Of the 403 articles found, 31 underwent complete review and 26 were eligible for study inclusion. According to the current study criteria, any case studies, studies in less developed countries, studies including and not separating other types of neurological disorders, studies not assessing the effects of a low-resource setting on outcomes in patients with SCI, and studies evaluating the causes of SCI in a low-resource setting were excluded.

RESULTS

In SCI patients, a lower income was a predictor of death (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.7–2.6, p = 0.0002). Moreover, secondary outcomes such as pain intensities (OR 3.32, 95% CI 2.21–4.49, p < 0.001), emergency room visits (11% more likely, p = 0.006), and pressure ulcer formation (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5–3.0, p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the lower income brackets. Rurality was also a factor and was significantly associated with increased emergency room visits (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1–2.1, p = 0.01) and lower outpatient service utilization (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.57, 95% CI 0.35–0.93, p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors showed that individuals in a low-resource setting who have suffered an SCI have significantly different outcomes than their counterparts. These specific outcomes are promising targets for future research efforts that focus on improving health conditions among this population.
Patterns of failure after single-dose radiosurgery for spinal metastasis

Object. Single-dose radiosurgery for solitary spinal metastases can achieve rapid and durable pain control. This study was conducted to determine the patterns of failure after spinal radiosurgery.

Methods. Forty-nine patients with 61 solitary spinal metastases underwent radiosurgery between May 2001 and May 2003. Single-dose radiosurgery (10–16 Gy) was delivered only to the involved spinal segments. The authors undertook a retrospective review of clinical notes, including patient questionnaires and radiological studies (computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging), to analyze patterns of failure following radiosurgery with regard to the pain and tumor control.

Complete and partial pain relief was achieved in 85% of the lesions treated. Relapse of pain at the treated site was noted in 7%. Radiologically, lesions progressively metastasized to the immediately adjacent spines in 5%. These patients also had progressive primary and/or other systemic metastatic diseases.

Conclusions. Spine-related pain control/reduction was excellent. Tumor recurrence at the treated segment and progression to the immediately adjacent region were rare. The results support the use of spinal radiosurgery as an effective treatment option for solitary spinal metastasis.

✓ Radiosurgery for brain tumors has been well established in the radiation oncology and neurosurgery fields. Radiosurgery of extracranial tumors such as those involving the spine is, however, still in the early stage because of difficulties in patient immobilization and organ motion. The authors describe an image-guided procedure for intensity-modulated spinal radiosurgery that was developed at Henry Ford Hospital.

Object. Spinal radiosurgery was implemented to improve quality of life (QOL) in patients with malignancies. It may also be applicable to the treatment of benign lesions.

Methods. Between July 2002 and January 2004, 14 patients harboring 22 lesions were treated; 13 received single-dose stereotactic radiosurgery. Six were women. The mean age was 60.2 years (range 48–82 years). There were 11 metastases, two neurofibromas, and one meningioma. Six lesions were cervical, 10 thoracic, and six lumbar. Ten patients suffered pain, three paresthesias, two weakness, and three were asymptomatic. Seven patients underwent spinal surgery, with four receiving instrumentation. Twelve patients underwent conventional irradiation before stereotactic radiosurgery/stereotactic radiotherapy. A mean dose of 12 ± 2.7 Gy (range 8–21 Gy) was prescribed to the 91% isodose line (range 85–97%). The mean tumor volume was 25 ± 27.1 ml (range 0.75–91.8 ml). Treatment was planned using intensity-modulated radiosurgery (IMRS) fields in 15 cases, dynamic arcs in five, and conformal beams in two. The mean follow-up period was 6.1 ± 3.9 months (range 1–16 months).

Three patients became pain free and four experienced considerable relief. Weakness improved in the two patients with this preoperative symptom and the asymptomatic patients remained so. Four lesions decreased in size, five remained stable, seven progressed, and six were not followed up (two patients died before follow up). Four patients in all died, three of systemic disease and one of thoracic lesion progression. No complications due to shaped beam and IMRS/intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques were observed.

Conclusions. Shaped beam and IMRS/IMRT involving the Novalis system may delay neurological deterioration, improving QOL. The lack of complication suggests that higher doses can be delivered to improve the control rate in patients with metastases.
