Efficient Mutual Authentication Protocol between Hospital Internet of Things Devices Using Probabilistic Attribute Information
Authors: Jeong Yoon-Su , Kim Dong-Ryool , Shin Seung-Soo
Published: December 2019

Wearable and portable medical devices are one of the fastest growing sectors in the Internet of Things (IoT) market. However, medical services specialize in the processing of personal health data, which carries issues that are not faced by other industries. In this paper, we propose a multi-dimensional color vector information based IoT device authentication protocol that can provide benefits for medical work, assuming that a hospital has the capability of integrating IoT devices and has access to patient information. The proposed protocol uses multi-dimensional color vectors to help users who use IoT devices to manage their condition in multiple groups, stochastically. In addition, the proposed protocol provides the health and medical service status of users to medical staff in real time using IoT authentication keys generated through the proposed multi-dimensional color vectors. The proposed protocol not only addresses health care problems yet to be tackled in the management of hospital and health services, but also minimizes administrative time and procedures for current medical services. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed protocol improved the efficiency of hospital IoT devices by an average of 31.1%, and the time delay for medical services was improved by 19.8%, compared to the existing protocol. By using the proposed protocol and IoT devices, the average overhead of healthcare providers could be reduced by as much as 15.3%.

Published: December 2019

Minimizing the environmental impacts is a challenging task to achieve sustainability in road constructions. Although they are only temporary, the environmental burdens of building activities can have a great impact on the environment and communities, and must be properly assessed and mitigated. A comprehensive evaluation of the impacts requires the consideration of all construction activities, construction sites and the type and operation time of off-road machines and plants that will be used in each site. In this paper, a case study relating to the project of a motorway was carried out with the following objectives: (i) to estimate the dust and gases arising from the whole construction process and identify the most critical pollutants in terms of emitted quantity; (ii) to investigate the worksites, activities and processes with the greatest impact from an emissive standpoint, and (iii) to propose a rational approach for designing and putting in place effective mitigation measures. Carbon oxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and fine particulate matter (PM10) emissions have been estimated by applying different models, methodologies and databases, depending on the construction process under analysis, and an emissive balance sheet has been produced. Results showed that CO is the pollutant released in the greatest quantity, followed by NOx. The emission of PM10, mainly due to the movement of trucks on unpaved roads, is one order of magnitude less with respect to CO and NOx, but produces the most perceived and undesired effects of the construction process in the interested communities. Tunnels and bridge are the components of a road with the greatest impact in terms of air emissions.
R&D Internationalization and Green Innovation? Evidence from Chinese Resource Enterprises and Environmental Enterprises
Authors: Zhang Xun , Xu Biao
Published: December 2019

Although the importance of external involvement has been recognized in product and technology innovation, whether research and development (R&D) internationalization stimulates green innovation and under what conditions it is more effective is still unclear. To address this research gap, this study uses knowledge-based theory to explore the effect of R&D internationalization on green innovation and the moderating roles of state ownership and international experience. We examine the research hypotheses using panel data of 19,273 Chinese resource enterprises (REs) and environmental enterprises (EEs) spanning three years. The results indicate that R&D internationalization has a negative effect on green innovation in REs and EEs. Additionally, we identified a negative moderating effect of state ownership and a positive moderating effect of internationalization experience on the relationship between R&D internationalization and green innovation, which suggests that the effect is contingent on the corporation’s ownership and capability in dealing with the complexities and uncertainties inherent in international business.
Nuclear Transit and HIV LTR Binding of NF-κB Subunits Held by IκB Proteins: Implications for HIV-1 Activation
Authors: Khan Sohrab Z. , Gasperino Sofia , Zeichner Steven L.
Published: December 2019

No effective therapy to eliminate the HIV latently infected cell reservoir has been developed. One approach, “shock and kill”, employs agents that activate HIV, subsequently killing the activated infected cells and/or virus. Shock and kill requires agents that safely and effectively activate HIV. One class of activation agents works through classical NF-κB pathways, but global NF-κB activators are non-specific and toxic. There exist two major IκBs: IκBα, and IκBε, which hold activating NF-κB subunits in the cytoplasm, releasing them for nuclear transit upon cell stimulation. IκBα was considered the main IκB responsible for gene expression regulation, including HIV activation. IκBε is expressed in cells constituting much of the latent HIV reservoir, and IκBε knockout mice have a minimal phenotype, suggesting that IκBε could be a valuable target for HIV activation and reservoir depletion. We previously showed that targeting IκBε yields substantial increases in HIV expression. Here, we show that IκBε holds c-Rel and p65 activating NF-κB subunits in the cytoplasm, and that targeting IκBε with siRNA produces a strong increase in HIV expression associated with enhanced c-Rel and p65 transit to the nucleus and binding to the HIV LTR of the activating NF-κBs, demonstrating a mechanism through which targeting IκBε increases HIV expression. The findings suggest that it may be helpful to develop HIV activation approaches, acting specifically to target IκBε and its interactions with the NF-κBs.

Published: December 2019

In Turkey, mechanized harvesting methods have started to be used depending on the recent developments in forest industry, but advanced harvesting machines could not be used in national wide due to high operating cost and terrain conditions. The most common harvesting method is skidding with farm tractors since they are easily accessible and cost efficient. In this study, skidding method by a farm tractor in Bigadic Forest Enterprise Directorate was examined in terms of productivity and cycle time. The factors that affect the machine performance were also evaluated. It was found that the average time measurement of a cycle was 30.75 minute and the average productivity of tractor was found to be 4.75 m³/hour. The average volume and amount of skidded timber per cycle was about 1.80 m³ and 2 pieces, respectively. Among the factors evaluated in the study area, it was found that skidding distance had a maximum effect on the total cycle time and productivity. Unlike previous time studies, it was found that volume was relatively less effective on the total cycle time. This study revealed that the examination of the total time and productivity in
Finite element method to study cervical postoperative stability
Authors: Iencean Andrei St. , Castravete Stefan C. , Poeata Ion
Published: December 2019

A cervical spine model built by means of the finite element method was used to determine the risk of postoperative cervical instability in relation to the type of discectomy, in cervical disc herniation. Furthermore, this model was employed to check whether, at the adjacent levels of the fusion discectomy, the intervertebral translation during cervical movements will maintain the normal amplitude [normal ROM] or its amplitude will decrease.

The intervertebral displacement and the tension arising from motion and weight in the cervical vertebral structure were thus determined through computer modelling using the above-mentioned method and the software Abaqus. It resulted in a cervical spine model consisting of 739666 finite elements interacting through 210530 nodes, with biomechanical properties following the vertebral anatomical structures modelled.

Two movement situations were studied to determine the behaviour of this model. Firstly, the moment of force for flexion and extension of 1 Nm. Secondly, we aimed to establish the maximum flexion and extension for a normal cervical spine model in order to determine the momentum value of moving forces for each of them.

It was showed that both anterior cervical microdiscectomy without fusion and cervical discectomy with cage fusion (used for the surgical treatment of cervical disc herniation at one level), ensure postoperative vertebral stability when performed properly. Both types of surgery reduce the mobility of the cervical spine, although more in the case of fusion discectomy. The intradiscal tension increases in movement in both models, with a higher intensification in the fusion discectomy model.

The practical conclusion is that microdiscectomy without fusion is preferable in the case of a single-level cervical disc herniation occurred to a cervical spine without instability.

Published: December 2019

Background: So far hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver malignant tumour; it is rarely encountered on a healthy liver (9). The metastasis from HCC cancer are seen in lymph nodes (16%–40%) and lungs (34%–70%), (1,3,4,5,7,8), bone metastasis is unusual and some locations stay rare among them the skull (2,4,5). We report here a case of a patient operated in our department for skull metastasis. That patient was followed for hepatocellular carcinoma in digestive surgery department.

Case presentation: The patient is a 57 years old male presenting HCC on healthy liver, the patient was referred to our department by digestive surgery colleagues to manage a parietal subcutaneous mass; brain CT scans were performed objectified a calvarial osteolytic process. We remove the tumour and we put a cranioplasty using surgical cement, later the histological studies were in favour of secondary location of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Conclusion: Skull metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma is rare, reporting such cases strengthen the idea of evoking HCC metastasis in the differential diagnosis of cranial subcutaneous mass.

Authors: Ibrahim Assoumane , Houari Loucif , Samuila Sanoussi , Abderahmane Sidi Said , Morsli Abdelhalim
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Spinal Dural Arterio Venous Fistula (SDAVF) is an arteriovenous communication on the spinal dura with peri-medullar venous drainage. It is a curable cause of myelopathy and the most common form of spinal arterio venous malformation (AVM). The average age of revelation is the fifth decade; it is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency.

Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in the neuro surgical department of CHU Bab El Oued in Algiers during a five years time from November 2013 to September 2018. We assessed the clinical status of patients according to the Aminoff-Logue disability score before and after surgery. All patients did a total spine MRI followed by a Medullar angiography which facilitated the pin-pointing of the exact location of the dural fistula. The mean follow-up is 30 months.

Results: There were five males and two females, all of them older than 45 years of age. At the admission, patients presented with signs of neurological deficits. After the diagnosis of SDAVF the surgical intervention consisted of a disconnection of the arteriovenous communication by coagulation and section of the fistula at the foot of the vein after a laminectomy. Functional rehabilitation was prescribed for all patients and they were regularly followed-up.

Conclusion: Treatment of AVF is surgical or endovascular. Results depend largely on preoperative neurological status.
Using quality indicators to predict inspection ratings: cross-sectional study of general practices in England
Authors: Allen Thomas , Walshe Kieran , Proudlove Nathan , Sutton Matt
Published: December 2019

Background

The Care Quality Commission regulates, inspects, and rates general practice providers in England. Inspections are costly and infrequent, and are supplemented by a system of routine quality indicators, measuring patient satisfaction and the management of chronic conditions. These indicators can be used to prioritise or target inspections.

Aim

To determine whether this set of indicators can be used to predict the ratings awarded in subsequent inspections.

Design and setting

This cross-sectional study was conducted using a dataset of 6860 general practice providers in England.

Method

The indicators and first-inspection ratings were used to build ordered logistic regression models to predict inspection outcomes on the four-level rating system (‘outstanding’, ‘good’, ‘requires improvement’, and ‘inadequate’) for domain ratings and the ‘overall’ rating. Predictive accuracy was assessed using the percentage of correct predictions and a measure of agreement (weightedκ).

Results

The model correctly predicted 79.7% of the ‘overall’ practice ratings. However, 78.8% of all practices were rated ‘good’ on ‘overall’, and the weightedκmeasure of agreement was very low (0.097); as such, predictions were little more than chance. This lack of predictive power was also found for each of the individual domain ratings.

Conclusion

The poor power of performance of these indicators to predict subsequent inspection ratings may call into question the validity and reliability of the indicators, inspection ratings, or both. A number of changes to the way data relating to performance indicators are collected and used are suggested to improve the predictive value of indicators. It is also recommended that assessments of predictive power be undertaken prospectively when sets of indicators are being designed and selected by regulators.
KAJIAN BENTUK DAN SIMBOL KUJANG SUNDA
Authors: Saifulhayat Hendri
Published: December 2019

Kujang dikenal dan dianggap sebagai senjata tradisi yang merepresentasikan budaya masyarakat Sunda. Melihat ke belakang, bahwa sebilah pisau merupakan pengembangan dari temuan sisi tajam yang terbentuk atas serpihan batu sejenis kalsedon yang menjadikan manusia menduduki peringkat utama dalam mata rantai makanan di atas muka bumi. Pisau bertransformasi memanjang menjadi pedang, dilontarkan menjadi tombak, bergerigi menjadi gergaji, dihimpitkan dengan sumbu menjadi gunting dan masih banyak fungsi lain yang semakin spesifik menjadi berbagai alat bantu karena tuntutan kebutuhan hidup yang semakin berkembang. Kujang berasal dari kata Kudi Hyang. Kudi secara fungsi  merupakan perkakas pertanian yang dipersiapkan untuk menghormati dan memuja Hyang, penguasa tertinggi alam semesta. Konsep perupaan Kujang jauh dari kebutuhan fungsi utilitas sebuah alat bantu ataupun sebilah senjata. Kujang merupakan artefak simbolis yang berfungsi intrinsik, dan bukan senjata, karena perencanaan sejak  awal dapat dibedakan dengan membuat senjata. Kemudian Kujang secara bentuk mengikuti fungsi terbukti tidak memenuhi kebutuhan utilitas. Kujang yang diidentikan dengan istilah “nyumput buni dinu caang” atau tersembunyi di tempat yang terlihat / terang, dapat diungkap secara lengkap melalui pisau bedah ajaran budaya Sunda yaitu Panca Niti atau lima tahapan pemahaman.  Ajaran ini memberi petunjuk untuk memahami sesuatu secara lebih mendalam, mulai  dari arti, makna, alamiah, ketuhanan dan pemahaman secara menyeluruh. Kujang sarat dengan muatan tontonan, tuntunan, ajaran atau edukasi hingga ke-tata-negaraan, dan potensial akan dapat diungkap lebih banyak lagi hal positif dibalik perupaannya.

Previous reconstruction of severely atrophic maxilla with calvarial bone graft and implant supported fixed partial prosthesis - Case report
Authors: Magno Filho Luiz Carlos
Published: December 2019

Purposes: Autogenous bone graft is still considered the “gold standard” for bone augmentation of the jaws prior to dental implants placement. In cases of major bone defects, we can relinquish reconstructive techniques using grafts from extra buccal donor areas, such as the calvarial bone graft. Although this technique is well established in the literature, many professionals feel insecure in indicating this type of treatment to their patients, due to the high degree of complexity for the execution of the procedure and not acceptance by the patient. Case report: A female patient, 42-year-old, had undergone reconstructive surgery by means of a calvarial bone graft for pre-maxilla reconstruction prior to dental implants placement in regions of 14 to 24. The graft collection procedure was performed in a hospital setting and under general anesthesia. The grafts were transplanted from the calvarial bone to reconstruct the anterior maxilla. After 7 months, 4 dental implants were placed, allowing a future prosthetic rehabilitation. After the period of osseointegration, screw-retained partial fixed prosthesis was made, returning function and aesthetics to the patient. Conclusions: In view of the clinical case and literature presented, it is concluded that patients with severe maxillary bone atrophy can undergo a successful reconstruction process with calvarial bone grafts and dental implants.

Artykuł przedstawia rezultaty zadania powierzonego studentom kierunku Towaroznawstwo na Uniwersytecie Ekonomicznym w Krakowie wiosną 2018 roku w ramach przedmiotu Ochrona dóbr kultury z aspektami celnymi. Na liście PH znajdowało się wówczas 91 miejsc i obiektów, a zadaniem studentów było krytyczne odniesienie się do zawartości listy poprzez wskazanie miejsc i obiektów, których obecność na liście budzi ich zdziwienie lub sprzeciw oraz zaproponowanie takich, które w ich ocenie powinny się na niej znaleźć, a jednak ich nie ma.

W tej pierwszej kategorii najwięcej osób (aż 8 z 32 wypowiadających się) wyraziło zdziwienie umieszczeniem na liście stadniny koni w Janowie Podlaskim, z czego 5 uznało, iż obiektu tego nie powinno być na liście w ogóle. Bardzo krytycznie (3 głosy zdecydowanej dezaprobaty) oceniono też Łódź – wielokulturowy krajobraz miasta przemysłowego. Jeśli chodzi o uzupełnianie listy, to najwięcej osób (5) dostrzegło konieczność wpisania na nią Auschwitz Birkenau - niemieckiego nazistowskiego obozu koncentracyjnego i zagłady oraz Twierdzy Przemyśl (4), co w tym drugim przypadku stało się już faktem. Realizacja zadania pokazała, iż taka forma ochrony zabytków jest w Polsce potrzebna, a emocje, jakie budzi zawartość listy PH mogą mieć walor edukacyjny i popularyzatorski.
LA REPRESENTACIÓN DEL CONFLICTO VASCO EN LA LIJ ESCRITA EN EUSKERA
Authors: Urzelai Vicente Ainhoa
Published: December 2019

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre la representación del conflicto político vasco en la LIJ escrita en euskera. Para ello, han sido analizadas tres obras que pertenecen a la LIJ moderna: Harri barruko bihotz-borrokak [Las luchas del corazón de las piedras] (1999), Txakurraren alaba [La hija del perro] (2000) y Pikolo (2008) [Pikolo, 2010]. Primeramente, se ofrece un breve resumen de cada obra y se analiza cuál ha sido su recepción crítica. En segundo lugar, se presenta el análisis narratológico, y se sitúan los relatos en el espacio y tiempo, tras abordar el análisis de los narradores y los personajes principales. A continuación, de la mano de los estudios de memoria, se examina la representación del contexto histórico de la obra (lugares de memoria, tipos de memoria que se transmiten, conexiones intertextuales...). Completamos el análisis de las obras con la presentación de las conclusiones más relevantes. Como se ha podido observar, la LIJ en euskera también ha abordado la recuperación de la memoria del conflicto vasco, con un género y unas características narrativas muy concretas: narrador y protagonista joven, narrado en primera persona o la utilización de la focalización interna.

In present world data transfer using the internet is growing. It is very easy and fast way to transfer information like confidential documents, economic transactions, business applications and other covert information over internet. With the advent and growth of internet, people are more concerned about security of information. Data Security is important while data is transferred over internet because any illegal user can access important and private data also make it worthless. Research in data security area will help government agencies, military organization and private companies to securely transmit their confidential data over internet. From past few years various steganography techniques have been developed to hide secret message using various multimedia objects having large amount of redundant data to support steganography. In this paper introduction about steganography, related concepts and implementation of commonly used spatial domain techniques like LSB(Least Significant Bit Technique) with modulus, PVD(Pixel Value Difference) with LSB replacement and adaptive data hiding over edges with LSB are considered. It is observed(while visual, statistical analysis and experiments were carried out) with benchmark cover and stego objects that embedding same amount of secret data in each pixel leads to more visible distortions in a stego image because all pixels do not bear same amount of changes and this effect is more observed in smooth area then edges. Improving stego image imperceptibility and adjusting hiding capacity adaptively are major related research challenges about spatial domain techniques.

Optimization of a portfolio based on utility functions has been a long line of research in the past. In practice, the solutions discussed earlier are approximated to integers, because of the availability of stocks in integer units. But utility functions are quite sensitive to the amounts invested. Thus mere approximations may lead to loss in utility. In this paper, a procedure called the Integer solution to Expected Utility Maximization (ISEUM) is suggested, where the investor can obtain a pure integer solution to the portfolio optimization problem. This is discussed under the assumption of stochastic markets, where the market states follow a Markov chain. Illustrations showing three different types of investors are presented and the corresponding optimal integer solution is obtained for each market state. In each case, solutions based on the ISEUM procedure are compared with non-integer and corresponding approximated solutions. The loss due to approximation is assessed for each case.

For an efficient operation of and autonomous robots or agents optimization of the path is an essential feature. In my proposed paper I will discuss about the CS Algorithm its parameter analysis and how it is applied on the mobile robot in an intricate environment with numerous amount of static obstacles. Taking the concept from the flight behavior of the cuckoo this meta-heuristic algorithm is designed.[1] We will show the different parameters of traversing by agents in terms of coverage, time, movement and energy between its targets and obstacles, based on these parameter we can identify the target seeking behavior and obstacle avoidance of the robot, then the comparison will be made between path planning with PSO algorithm and Cuckoo search[2] algorithm depending on various parameter analysis. With the help of both the algorithm which is the Cuckoo Search and PSO algorithm we will try to show how robot avoids the obstacle and proceed towards the target, when the robot reaches its goal we shall be able to justify that it has followed the smooth optimal trajectory within the frame or the desired environment.

Gas-Solid Fluidized Beds are widely used in current industrial practices for their high efficiency in producing products of very high standards. The study of bed dynamics has become an important concern for the design of fluidized beds. Various parameters like pressure, temperature, gas velocity, mean residence time and solids composition affect the bed behavior. In this view, an experimental study was carried out to determine the influence of gas flow rate, mixing time, solids composition and bed height on mixing/segregation behaviour of the bed of particles. Since fluidized beds involving more than two solids are more frequently encountered in current industrial practices, the experiments were conducted using three solid sand particles of average sizes 231 μm, 335 μm, and 510 μm. Various mixing patterns were observed for different mixing times (10, 20 and 30 minutes), different gas flow rates (7.5, 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 and 27.5 LPM), and different solids ratio. Good mixing occurred at an optimum mixing time of 30 minutes and gas flow rates of 17.5 LPM and 22.5 LPM at all solids ratio. The components exhibited relatively better mixing at intermediate bed heights.

The ongoing development of profound learning has empowered exchanging calculations to anticipate stock value developments all the more precisely. Tragically, there is a noteworthy hole in reality sending of this achievement. For instance, proficient brokers in their long haul professions have collected various exchanging rules, the legend of which they can see great. Then again, profound learning models have been not really interpretable. This paper presents DeepClue, a framework worked to connect content based profound learning models and end clients through outwardly deciphering the key components learned in the stock value forecast model. We make three commitments in DeepClue. To start with, by structuring the profound neural system engineering for translation and applying a calculation to separate important prescient variables, we give a valuable case on what can be deciphered out of the expectation model for end clients. Second, by investigating chains of command over the extricated factors and showing these variables in an intuitive, progressive representation interface, we shed light on the best way to successfully convey the translated model to end clients. Uncommonly, the elucidation isolates the anticipated from the eccentric for stock forecast using block model parameters and a hazard representation structure. Third, we assess the coordinated perception framework through two contextual analyses in anticipating the stock cost with online budgetary news and friends related tweets from web based life. Quantitative tests contrasting the proposed neural system design and cutting edge models and the human gauge are led and detailed. Criticisms from a casual client contemplate with area specialists are abridged and examined in detail. All the examination results show the viability of DeepClue in finishing securities exchange speculation and investigation assignments.

Cloud computing is a technology that promises resilient and flexible computing resources to the growing business. Along with many benefits of Cloud computing, there are various complex problems such as security and privacy of data that exists on Cloud. Trust is one of the key obstacles in the adoption of Cloud by the growing market due to absence of any reliable and efficient trust evaluation mechanism. It is difficult task for Cloud consumers to choose trustworthy provider among various service providers who provide similar type of services. There is a need to have - proper techniques/methods to establish trust; proper trust based models to evaluate the trust; and awareness of various possible attacks to know the robustness of the models. Hence this paper discusses existing state of the art trust management techniques, models and attacks, to help research community interested in designing trust based schemes in Cloud environment.

Monopterus albus production in Malaysia is widely depends on wild stock. Otolith morphology has been widely used to give additional information that is crucial for aiding the seed production. Otolith morphology of Asian swamp eel, Monopterus albus and its relationships to fish size was examined. A total of 125 samples were collected from the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (ECPM) and Sabah for analyses. Otolith descriptions were based on its outline, including otolith length (OL, mm), otolith height (OH, mm) and otolith weight (OW, mm). Fish total length (TL, cm) and body weight (BW, kg) were also measured and recorded. Paired t-test result (p-value > 0.05) showed there is no statistically significant difference between left and right otolith dimensions. Regression models related to otolith morphometric parameters with eel length and body weight were determined. There is no morphological difference between left and right otolith of swam eel observed. Otolith weight is a good indicator of body weight (R2 =0.8994) and total length of fish (R2 =0.8707) since the R2 value is strongest than other relationship. If the otolith weight used to estimate the length and body weight of eel, the regression explains more than 87% of data variation in this Monopterus albus.

Clustering involves the grouping of similar objects into a set known as cluster. Objects in one cluster are likely to be different when compared to objects grouped under another cluster. Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. Subgroup classification is a basic task in high-throughput genomic data analysis, especially for gene expression and methylation data analysis. Mostly, unsupervised clustering methods are applied to predict new subgroups or test the consistency with known annotations. To get a stable classification of subgroups, consensus clustering is always performed. It clusters repeatedly with a randomly sampled subset of data and summarizes the robustness of the clustering. When faced with significant uncertainty in the process of making a forecast or estimation, the Monte Carlo Simulation might prove to be a better solution. Monte Carlo3C is a consensus clustering algorithm that uses a Monte Carlo simulation to eliminate overfitting and can reject the null hypothesis when only one cluster is there.
