The increasing need for security in microcontrollers Security has long been a significant challenge in microcontroller applications(MCUs). Traditionally, many microcontroller systems did not have strong security measures against remote attacks as most of them are not connected to the Internet, and many microcontrollers are deemed to be cheap and simple. With the growth of IoT (Internet of Things), security in low cost microcontrollers moved toward the spotlight and the security requirements of these IoT devices are now just as critical as high-end systems due to:
Experiential Learning of Networking Technologies
Authors: Rustagi Ram P. , Kumar Viraj
Published: April 2020

At the undergraduate level, most Computer Networking curricula aim to familiarize students with key networking technologies and standards, with an emphasis on breadth rather than depth of understanding. This is detrimental to students in two ways. First, students obtain a rudimentary or incomplete understanding of inherently complex yet fundamental concepts. Second, students are often unable to translate their limited understanding into diagnosis and action while troubleshooting networks. In this series of articles, we describe a small set of hands-on experiments (which have been iteratively refined over six years) that offer learners opportunities to reflect on their understanding. The feedback collected from our students confirms that this experiential learning helps students gain a lasting understanding of the workings of computer networks. All experiments can be conducted as 1-2 hour exercises in a networking lab, or even at home with minimal setup.

Five slices through the Nuussuaq Basin, West Greenland
Authors: Pedersen Asger Ken , Melchior Larsen Lotte , Krarup Pedersen Gunver , Dueholm Keld S.
Published: April 2020

In 2006 an important milestone will be reached in the study of the three-dimensional structure and architecture of the Nuussuaq Basin in West Greenland. The fifth and last of a series of detailed geological profiles through the sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Nuussuaq Basin on Disko and Nuussuaq will be published (Fig. 1). At the same time, the last geological map at scale 1:100 000 of the basin area will be completed. These studies have been carried out over more than two decades by a group of scientists within Geocenter Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark. The five geological profiles are at scale 1:20 000 and have been published as coloured plates in the same format as the geological maps (Pedersen et al. 1993, 2002a, 2003, 2005, 2006). In total, the profiles cover about 500 km of cross-sections through a classic sedimentary-volcanic basin and its crystalline basement. This is one of the best exposed basins of its kind on Earth, and it serves as a reference area for studies of similar basins on the continental shelves of Greenland, north-western Europe and elsewhere.
Evolution of Neoarchaean supracrustal belts at the northern margin of the North Atlantic Craton, West Greenland
Authors: Hollis Julie A. , Keiding Marie , Møller Stensgaard Bo , Van Gool Jeroen A.M. , Garde Adam A.
Published: April 2020

The Archaean North Atlantic Craton of West Greenland collided at c. 1.9 Ga with a lesser-known Archaean craton to the north, to form the Nagssugtoqidian orogen. The Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic grade and strain intensity decrease northward through the orogen, allowing investigation of the reworked Archaean components in its northern part. Two Archaean supracrustal belts in this region – the Ikamiut and Kangilinaaq belts – are investigated here using field mapping, aeromagnetic data, zircon geochronology, and geochemistry. Both belts comprise quartzo-feldspathic and pelitic metasedimentary rocks, amphibolite, and minor calc-silicate rocks, anorthosite and ultramafic rocks. Pb-Pb and U-Pb dating of detrital zircons and host orthogneisses suggest deposition at c. 2800 Ma (Kangilinaaq belt) and after 2740 Ma (Ikamiut belt); both belts have zircons with Neoarchaean metamorphic rims. Metasedimentary rocks and orthogneisses at Ikamiut share similar steep REE signatures with strong LREE enrichment, consistent with local derivation of the sediment and deposition directly onto or proximal to the regional orthogneiss precursors. Zircon age data from Kangilinaaq indicate both local and distal sources for the sediment there. Geochemical data for Kangilinaaq amphibolites indicate bimodal, mixed felsic–mafic source rocks with island-arc basaltic affinities, consistent with a shelf or arc setting. Both belts experienced a similar tectono-metamorphic history involving Neoarchaean amphibolite facies peak metamorphism at c. 2740–2700 Ma, possibly due to continued emplacement of tonalitic and granodioritic magmas. Nagssugtoqidian lower amphibolite facies metamorphism at c. 1850 Ma was associated with development of the large-scale F2 folds and shear zones that control the present outcrop pattern. The observed differences in the sources of the Kangilinaaq and Ikamiut belts and their shared post-Archaean history suggest they were formed in different Neoarchaean environments proximal to and on a continental plate, and were amalgamated in a convergent margin setting shortly after their deposition.

Published: April 2020

The Nuussuaq Basin is the only exposed Cretaceous–Paleocene sedimentary basin in West Greenland and is one of a complex of linked rift basins stretching from the Labrador Sea to northern Bafﬁn Bay. These basins developed along West Greenland as a result of the opening of the Labrador Sea in Late Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic times. The Nuussuaq Basin is exposed in West Greenland between 69°N and 72°N on Disko, Nuussuaq, Upernivik Ø, Qeqertarsuaq, Itsaku and Svartenhuk Halvø and has also been recorded in a number of shallow and deep wells in the region. The sediments are assigned to the more than 6 km thick Nuussuaq Group (new) which underlies the Palaeogene plateau basalts of the West Greenland Basalt Group. The sediment thickness is best estimated from seismic data; in the western part of the area, seismic and magnetic data suggest that the succession is at least 6 km and possibly as much as 10 km thick. The exposed Albian–Paleocene part of the succession testifies to two main episodes of regional rifting and basin development: an Early Cretaceous and a Late Cretaceous – Early Paleocene episode prior to the start of sea-ﬂoor spreading in mid-Paleocene time. This exposed section includes fan delta, fluviodeltaic, shelfal and deep marine deposits.

The Nuussuaq Group is divided into ten formations, most of which have previously been only briefly described, with the exception of their macrofossil content. In ascending stratigraphic order, the formations are: the Kome Formation, the Slibestensfjeldet Formation (new), the Upernivik Næs Formation, the Atane Formation (including four new members – the Skansen, Ravn Kløft, Kingittoq and Qilakitsoq Members – and one new bed, the Itivnera Bed), the Itilli Formation (new, including four new members, the Anariartorfik, Umiivik, Kussinerujuk and Aaffarsuaq Members), the Kangilia Formation (including the redefined Annertuneq Conglomerate Member and the new Oyster–Ammonite Conglomerate Bed), the Quikavsak Formation (including three new members: the Tupaasat, Nuuk Qiterleq and Paatuutkløften Members), the Agatdal Formation, the Eqalulik Formation (new, including the Abraham Member), and the Atanikerluk Formation (including five members: the Naujât, Akunneq (new), Pingu (new), Umiussat and Assoq (new) Members).

Published: April 2020

It is shown that the introduction of micro-sized particles of refractory compounds TiB, ZrB, CeO in the composition of the filler of the composite wire (CW) contributes to an increase in the quality of mass transfer of metal in the welding arc. It was found that under the influence of particles of the considered components, melting components of the CW filler, heterogeneous in terms of thermophysical properties, are more actively formed into a metal drop, and its overheating decreases. This helps to improve the quality of transfer of the electrode metal in the welding arc and to increase the conversion factors of alloying elements into the weld metal.

Published: April 2020

Using optical and electron microscopy methods, a study was made of the contamination of C45E carbon steel with non-metallic inclusions in samples taken at all stages of the metallurgical process, and the chemical compositions of non-metallic inclusions were determined. Smelting was carried out according to the following technology: production of an intermediate in an arc steel-smelting furnace → melt processing at out-of-furnace processing →vacuum treatment of steel → continuous casting. Using the methods of recalculation of the EDS-spectrum data, using the Thermocalc software, the phase compositions of non-metallic inclusions of metal samples determined at each stage of the metallurgical process are determined. It was found that complex oxide inclusions with a slag composition are increase in size with each subsequent step and are completely removed from the metal by the final stages of the treatment. At the same time, inclusions of calcium aluminates, on the contrary, decrease in size and, with inclusions of corundum, which remain almost unchanged throughout the treatment, are the main type of oxide that enters the finished metal.

CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide induces apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cell A549
Authors: Sharma Tahama
Published: April 2020

To investigate the role of CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide in lung cancer gene therapy, an expression vector containing CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide, named pcDNA3.1-CyclinD1, was designed, and this vector was transfected into lung adenocarcinoma cell A549. After G418 screening, A549 cells stably expressing CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide were obtained. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT method, and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The results showed that CyclinD1 antisense was stably transfected. After the oligonucleotide transfection, A549 cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, and apoptosis was increased. To further investigate the mechanism of CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide-induced apoptosis, Western blot was utilized to measure intracellular retinoblastoma protein (pRb), adenovirus E2 factor-1 (E2F-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -2 and MMP-9 expression. After transfection with CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide, the expression of pRb, E2F-1, VEGF, MMP-2, and MMP-9 proteins in A549 cells was significantly reduced. The abovementioned results indicate that CyclinD1 antisense oligonucleotide can cause apoptosis of lung cancer cells, and its mechanism may be related to the decreased expression of pRb, E2F-1, VEGF, MMP-2, and MMP-9.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women all over the world. It is the abnormal growth of breast tissues in multistage process. As the stage increases, the chances of treatment and probability of survival of patient decreases. Hence, early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer is must. Microwave imaging technique for early detection of breast cancer is a promising technique to detect tumor and it also have several advantages over other existing techniques for breast cancer detection, such as Breast Self-Examination (BSE), Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), Breast Ultrasound, Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Mammography and other breast screening methods. One of them is non-ionizing radiations. Other advantages include portability, inexpensive system and safe for human body. Microwave imaging employs microstrip patch antenna as its integral part, for transmitting and receiving microwaves. Microstrip patch antenna as name suggests is a low weight, smaller size antenna. Depending upon substrate material, microstrip patch antennas can be categorized as flexible and non-flexible antennas. Flexible microstrip patch antennas, mostly consisting of textile materials are becoming the preferred choice for most of the researchers. This paper presents recent trends in microstrip patch antenna design for early breast cancer detection and a comparison among them in terms of substrate, feeding techniques, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), E and H field, Return Loss, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and some other parameters.

Authors: Jamhur Hardi
Published: April 2020

Analysis and excavation of information on educational data is an inseparable part of organizing student academic systems in universities. The excavation of information is known as Educational Data mining (EDM), which is a discipline that focuses on the application of techniques and data mining devices specifically in the field of education. One of the EDM processes is related to the need for prediction especially to gain knowledge regarding the progress of student studies. Practically the activity of getting information / knowledge about the progress of student studies is difficult to do conventionally considering the size of the data volume is quite large. The approach to data mining clustering on student study progress data for prediction of predicate graduation tends to be not optimal. Fuzzy C-means (FCM) modeling optimized with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) can produce a more optimal prediction performance. In the case of prediction of student graduation prediction, the application of PSO-based FCM algorithm model produces more optimal results, with predictive accuracy of 86% while the FCM algorithm modeling is 79%.

Published: April 2020

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy worldwide and a leading cause of death worldwide. Its incidence continues to increase in the US due to hepatitis C infection and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Liver transplantation and resection remain the best therapeutic options for cure, but these are limited by the shortage of available organs for transplantation, diagnosis at advanced stage, and underlying chronic liver disease found in most patients with HCC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been shown to be an evolving novel treatment option in certain advanced solid tumors and have been recently approved for inoperable, advanced, and metastatic HCC. Unfortunately, a large cohort of patients with HCC fail to respond to immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss the ICIs currently approved for HCC treatment and their various mechanisms of action. We will highlight current understanding of mechanism of resistance and limitations to ICIs. Finally, we will describe emerging biomarkers of response to ICIs and address future direction on overcoming resistance to immune checkpoint therapy.

Nimbus

Published: April 2020

The Nimbus works present a transitory moment of presence in a specific location. They can be interpreted as a sign of loss or becoming, or just as a a fragment from a classical painting. People have always had a strong metaphysical connection to clouds and through time have projected many ideas on them. Smilde is interested in the temporary aspect of the work. It's there for a few seconds before they fall apart again. The physical aspect is really important but the work in the end only exists as a photograph. The photo functions as a document of something that happened on a specific location and is now gone.

Authors: Bognár Dániel , Andó Mátyás , Takács Gergő
Published: April 2020

Vizsgálatunk során a kéttömegű lendkerékben alkalmazott másodlagos tömeg forgácsolási műveletének optimalizálását hajtottuk végre. A kompaktgrafitos öntöttvas alapanyag (GGV30) esztergálásakor jelentkező mikroporozitás-hiba és a képlékeny deformáció öntödei módosításokat igényelt, ahol a ferrit és perlit %-os arányának változtatásával csökkent a selejtes teremékek száma. Az esztergálás során jelentkező alacsony éltartam növelésére wiper geometriájú keményfém váltólapkákat alkalmaztunk, amelyekkel jelentős, 15 db-os éltartamot értünk el. A megváltozott forgácsolási paraméterekkel 3%-os megmunkálási idő csökkentést értünk el, miközben a szerszámköltség kis mértékben csökkent. Az új szerszámok lehetőséget adnak arra, hogy a mérési folyamat a termeléssel párhuzamosan történjen, így jelentős időmegtakarítás érhető el műszakonként.

A korszerű tervezési módszerekkel bizonyítottan csökkenthető az alkatrész tömege, amely rendkívül fontos egy gyorsan mozgó gép esetében. Egy egyszerű mechanikával rendelkező CNC marógépet megvizsgálva és egy alkatrészét kiválasztva végeztünk el különböző szoftveres modelloptimalizálási módszereket. Igazoltuk, hogy az új gyártástechnológiák alkalmazása esetén (3D-s nyomtatás - FDM) a gyártási költségek csökkenthetők, hiszen mind a szükséges alapanyag, mind pedig a megmunkálási idő drasztikusan csökkent. Megállapítottuk, hogy a piacon jelenleg elérhető topológiai optimalizálásra alkalmas szoftverekkel is rendkívüli előrehaladást lehet elérni egy meglévő konstrukció továbbfejlesztése és optimalizálása esetén. A kialakított munkadarab jobb mechanikai tulajdonságokkal és tömeg-terhelés aránnyal bír, mint amit hagyományos tervezői módszerekkel elérhetnénk.

Development is a very important activity in efforts to increase economic growth for Indonesia. Thus, the economic policies taken by the Government must be able to encourage, be sustainable and interrelated between one economic sector with the other sectors in order to achieve the expected goals. The regional autonomy policy is expected to be able to reduce this for the sake of shared prosperity, between the center and the respective regions. This study examines that the determination of the RTRW (Spatial and Regional Plan) is a matter that must be mutually agreed upon in order to formulate national economic development.

Budget absorption is one of the drivers of economic growth through government consumption. For this reason, absorption of ministries / agencies' budgets also determines the economic growth. In addition, budget absorption becomes a dominant factor in evaluating bureaucratic performance. Failure to target budget absorption will indeed result in reduced spending benefits. Because the funds that have been allocated, apparently not all of them can be utilized which means there are funds that are idle cash. Even though if the budget allocation is efficient, despite the limited financial resources, the state can still optimize the funding of other strategic activities. This study aims to examine the effect of budget planning and budget execution on budget absorption. The questionnaire was distributed in the work units of state ministries / institutions in the payment area of KPPN Jakarta V with a budget absorption rate below 75% in 2017 according to the KPPN Level Budget Realization Report. The results of this study indicate that budget planning and budget execution have a positive effect on budget absorption.

One of the most effective and valuable principles to promote health in all countries has been adoption of Primary Health Care (PHC) as a fundamental strategy. In September 1978, an international conference was held in Alma-Ata, whose great achievement was declaring PHC as a roadmap for “Health for All” by the year 2000 (HFA 2000). Indeed, as a new approach beyond the traditional system of health care, PHC insisted on justice in the delivery and distribution of services in the health sector (1).

Published: April 2020

Background: Typhoid fever is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world including Pakistan. Resistance to the first line anti typhoid drugs viz chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole and ampicillin has aggravated this situation. Quinolones are currently used as the first line antityphoid drugs, instead. Fluoroquinolones are currently recommended for patients infected with Typhi. The fluoroquinolones have shown good in vitro as well as clinical activity against Typhi infections.Materials and Methods: It was a comparative cross-sectional conducted at Department of Microbiology UHS, Lahore, Pakistan within one year (January 2011-December 2011). A total of 100 clinical isolates of Typhi were evaluated. ATCC 9150 Paratyphi A was used as a standarad strain. The bacterial isolates were preserved in microbanks (Pro-Lab Diagnostics, UK) and stored at-70?C during a period of (2007- 2011). Data was analysed through SPSS version 22.Results: Of the 100 isolates, 45 strains were showing MIC ? 1µg/ml which means that they were susceptible while 55 strains were intermediate having MIC 2µg/ml. No strain was however, found resistant to ciprofloxacin according as per the CLSI 2011. As per the CLSI 2012 revised ciprofloxacin break points for disc diffusion and MIC for salmonella species. According to CLSI 2012 interpretive criteria, on disk diffusion testing 13 isolates were sensitive, 13 were resistant and 74 were intermediate to ciprofloxacin. On MIC, 55 strains were resistant showing MIC ?1µg/ml and 45 isolates were intermediate showing MIC 0.125-0.5µg/ml. No isolate was found sensitive to ciprofloxacin according to CLSI 2012 interpretive criteria.Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study showed the value of nalidixic acid susceptibility as an indirect but a certain marker of ciprofloxacin susceptibility. Nalidixic acid resistant showed increased minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by agar dilution method.

Published: April 2020

Sürücüler, araçlarına otostopçu alarak bireyleri gitmek istedikleri yere ücretsiz olarak taşımakta olduğu için otostopçu alma davranışı, özgeci davranışın getirileri arasında sayılabilmektedir. Mevcut çalışmada, sürücülerin otostopçu kabul etme ve otostop çekme davranışlarının, otostopa dair tutumlar ve özgecilik ile arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan ilk araştırmada sürücülerin otostopçu kabul etmeleri Şile-İstanbul yolunda gözlem aracılığı ile incelenmiştir. İlk çalışmanın örneklemini, gözlem boyunca belirlenen yoldan geçen 508 araç oluşturmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular, bu araçlardan sadece 19 erkek sürücünün, sadece kadın araştırmacıları almak için durduğunu göstermektedir. Takip eden çalışmada, 132 erkek ve 94 kadın olmak üzere toplam 226 kişilik ayrı bir örneklemden Özgecilik Ölçeği, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve otostopa yönelik açık uçlu soruları içeren bir anket formu aracılığıyla veri toplanmıştır. Bulgular, sürücülerin özgecilik düzeyi arttıkça daha fazla otostopçu aldıklarını göstermektedir. Katılımcılara sunulan açık uçlu sorular ile yapılan içerik analizi sonucunda, sürücülerin otostopçu kabul etmelerinin en büyük sebebinin otostopçunun kendi yardımlarına ihtiyacı olduğunu düşünmeleri olduğu, kabul etmemelerinin en büyük sebebinin ise zarar görmekten korkma olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca otostopçu kabul ettiklerinde yaşadıkları en baskın duyguların öncelikle tedirginlik ve güvensizlik, sonrasında ise mutluluk olduğu görülmektedir. Bulgular ilgili alan yazın çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
LONG-TERM RISK CLASS MIGRATIONS OF NON-BANKRUPT AND BANKRUPT ENTERPRISES
Authors: Korol Tomasz
Published: April 2020

This paper investigates how the process of going bankrupt can be recognized much earlier by enterprises
than by traditional forecasting models. The presented studies focus on the assessment of credit risk classes and on determination
of the differences in risk class migrations between non-bankrupt enterprises and future insolvent firms. For this purpose, the author
has developed a model of a Kohonen artificial neural network to determine six different classes of risk. Long-term analysis horizon
of 15 years before the enterprises went bankrupt was conducted. This long forecasting horizon allows one to identify, visualize and
compare the intensity and pattern of changes in risk classes during the 15-year trajectory of development between two separate groups
of companies (150 bankrupt and 150 non-bankrupt firms). The effectiveness of the forecast of the developed model was compared to three
popular statistical models that predict the financial failure of companies. These studies represent one of the first attempts in the
literature to identify the long-term behavioral pattern differences between future “good” and “bad” enterprises from the perspective
of risk class migrations.
