A Whole-of-Society Approach to Organise for Offensive Cyberspace Operations: The Case of the Smart State Sweden
Authors: Huskaj Gazmend , Axelsson Stefan
Published: June 2023

Threat actors conduct offensive cyberspace operations for many purposes, such as espionage, to destroy information assets, and cybercrime. These operations are possible thanks to the innovation and development of information and communications technologies (ICT). Interconnected information systems have transformed societies positively. However, specific states exploit these systems' vulnerabilities to advance their strategic national interests. Therefore, it is important to know how a state can organise itself to defend against threat actors. The purpose of this research is to present how the smart state Sweden can through a whole-of-society approach organise for Offensive Cyberspace Operations. The intent is to conduct an active and independent foreign-, security- and defence policy, but also as a base for deterrence and defence. This article is based on a mixed methods approach. It uses the case study research strategy to discover new information. Fourteen men and women participated in individual semi-structured interviews. The respondents ranged in age from 40 to 65 with more than 20 years of experience in cyberspace operations, intelligence operations, military operations, special forces operations, and knowledge and understanding about information warfare and information operations. The analytic strategies include thematic analysis and quantitative methods to interpret the data. The results show many themes, but the article is especially focused on the themes of Operations, Capability, Policy & Governance, and Legal Frameworks. Finally, a conceptual map of a whole-of-society approach to organise for offensive cyberspace operations is presented inferred from the themes, codes, and content, and mapped to each responsible agency based on the interviews and codes. The answer to the research question is that Sweden should have a whole-of-society approach to organise for Offensive Cyberspace Operations to project power in and through cyberspace with the intent to conduct an active and independent foreign, security and defence policy and for deterrence, as described in Figure 2.
Zero Trust: The Magic Bullet or Devil’s Advocate?
Authors: Salminen Helvi
Published: June 2023

The concept of Zero trust was first introduced in mid 1990’s, and has gradually attracted increasing attention. This approach to building organizations’ information system infrastructures has been developed as response to increasing interaction and interconnection of information systems. Along with organizational boundaries have become less clear with the new business models where a business process exceeds the organizational boundaries, also the boundaries of information systems are no longer clear. In this interconnected world the purely perimeter-based security model defining zones of trusted entities inside the perimeter and the untrusted external world outside the perimeter no longer serves the needs of new business models. And the combination of complex technology and sophisticated attack methods it is no longer possible to be sure that all system components and actors inside the perimeter can be trusted. The Zero trust approach brings the sophisticated controls from the perimeter to the entire system. The core idea can be expressed with the four words “never trust, always verify”. No system component is by default trusted , and one-time verification is not sufficient – access to a resource must be verified at each connection attempt. Mutual authentication of the communicating parties is in the core of the approach. But does the zero trust approach have unwanted side-effects? The complexity of the system increases when new control layers are built, and system complexity can increase the possibility of configuration errors. Can there be other side-effects as well? The need for trust does not disappear even when the systems are built on the zero trust principles. When studying the zero trust approach the author started thinking what would happen in human interaction and organizational co-operation if they are based on or partly apply the zero trust approach. And the scenarios were quite gloomy. But is this only a nightmare or already at least partly present in our reality? This article describes the zero trust approach and its applicability to technical environments. The second part present scenarios of the impacts which application of zero trust principles could have – or maybe already has - in human communication and organizational relationships.

Published: June 2023

Critical infrastructure protection requires a testing environment that allows the testing of different kinds of equipment, software, networks, and tools to develop vital functions of the critical industrial environment. Used electrical equipment must be reliable, capable and maintain a stable critical industrial ecosystem. An industrial business needs to develop cybersecurity capabilities that detect and prevent IT/ICT and OT/ICS threats in an industrial environment. The emerging trend has been to create security operations center (SOC) services to detect ICS-related threats in enterprise networks. The energy supply sector must consist of crucial elements for safe business continuity and supply chain management in the industrial sector. Threats have changed into a combination of threat types. Hybrid threats may prevent everyday industrial activities, processes, and procedures so that supply chain problems may become long-lasting and affects business continuity management.
The project CSG belongs to the (Cybersecurity governance of operational technology in the sector connected smart energy) research project consortium of Business Finland’s Digital Trust Programme. 
The first research paper regarding the CSG (Cyber Security Governance) project concentrates on the applied theory background of this project. The research provides a research approach for investigating cyber security at the operational and technical levels. It answers the questions of where to concentrate on OT-related cyber security research and how we aim to deploy a testbed to develop a governance model in the CSG project. The study's primary purpose is to describe the operating OT-SOC environment and analyze system requirements for optimizing situational awareness in the testbed environment.
The Legal Regulation Model of Open Banking in China
Authors: Wang Mi
Published: June 2023

Although, open banking has been developed rapidly in China since 2018, there is not a clear legal regulatory framework. Open banking can stimulate competition, provide better services to customers, and reduce the traditional “screen-scrapping” risk. However, it causes concerns over data security, customer privacy, data abuse and challenges to current Chinese regulatory system. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a better regulatory system for open banking in China. Through learning from regulation forms in other jurisdiction, it is found that “active guidance” regulation is more appropriate for China which requires government to provide standards for open banking but not force banks to share data. Under the “Active Guidance” model, it is necessary to improve current Chinese regulatory and legal regime including establishing feasible rules for data portability implementation, constructing a multi-level regulatory system for data sharing, as well as changing data privacy protection mode from “Notice-Consent” to “Data Autonomy”.

Se siguió el enfoque cuantitativo empleando el cuestionario de estilos de aprendizaje Honey-Alonso (CHAEA) a los estudiantes del programa mencionado y el cuestionario VARK de Fleming (2006). Se identificó que los estudiantes emplean un estilo de aprendizaje reflexivo y los docentes emplean un estilo de enseñanza kinestésico que no se compatibilizan entre sí. De allí los resultados se concluye que la incompatibilidad de estilos es uno de los principales problemas percibidos en la Facultad de Informática Mazatlán.
CATEGORY SHIFTS IN TRANSLATING ENGLISH COMPLEX NOUN PHRASES IN UGLY LOVE NOVEL INTO INDONESIAN
Authors: Tambunan Sunarti Desrieny
Published: June 2023

English noun phrases can be categorized into simple and complex noun phrases. Whether or not a noun phrase is complex, it can be seen from the structure of a noun phrase that has a pre-modification, head, and post-modification or its complementation. However, when it is translated into Indonesian, the shifts happen. In translations, there are two types of shifts. They are level shifts and category shifts. This research is aimed at finding out the complex noun phrases in a novel entitled Ugly Love and their category shifts of translation in Indonesian. A descriptive qualitative method was applied in this research. Based on the findings, there are 41 Complex Noun Phrases found. However, there are six (6) Complex Noun Phrases that are translated using category shifts. Two (2) data are translated using structure shift and unit shift. One (1) data is translated using unit shift. One (1) data is translated using unit shift and class shift. Two (2) data are translated using structure shift, class shift, and unit shift. It reveals that the most dominant used of category shift is unit shift, followed by structure shift. Furthermore, the least used of category shift is class shift. In addition, intra-system shift was not found because the nouns mentioned in the data findings are all singular nouns.

Published: June 2023

Recently, glasses have gained great interest for use as scintillators owing to lots of industrial benefits such as ease of producing customizable shapes and low production cost. Herein, the Er3+-activated BaO–Nb2O5–TeO2 glasses were fabricated for the development of NIR glass scintillators. The Er3+-activated BaO–Nb2O5–TeO2 glasses exhibited efficient photoluminescence and scintillation that originated from the 4f→4f transition of Er3+. Their quantum yields in photoluminescence were 80% (0.1%Er2O3), 81% (0.5%Er2O3), and 61% (1.0%Er2O3). Further, an almost linear correlation between an X-ray dose rate and NIR scintillation intensity was observed in the 0.5–5000 mGy h−1 dose rate range. Interestingly, the lowest detectable dose rate limit (0.5 mGy h−1) was lower than that of Er-doped Bi4Ge3O12 and Nd-doped GdVO4 single crystals. Further, afterglow levels of the non-doped and Er3+-activated BaO–Nb2O5–TeO2 glasses were about 600 ppm. The observed NIR scintillation properties indicated that the Er3+-activated tellurite glasses should be promising compounds for NIR-emitting scintillators.

Published: June 2023

Hypertension is a condition in which a person experiences an increase in systolic blood pressure of more or equal to 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more or equal to 90 mmHg. Currently, the estimated number of cases of hypertension in Indonesia is 63,309,620 people, while the death rate due to hypertension in Indonesia is 427,218 deaths. Currently, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is still very high. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia in the world is around 45%. The high incidence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia can also be caused by low public knowledge about blood pressure and cholesterol levels, starting from ways to prevent them, the course of the disease, its symptoms, to the treatment of the disease. In addition, lifestyle and diet also affect the high incidence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Both of these diseases can cause more serious complications, such as heart disease and stroke. Therefore, an effort is needed to increase public knowledge about hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, as well as introduce alternative herbal drinks that are efficacious for people with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.

مرافقة العود المنفرد للغناء العراقي
Authors: أ.د. حسام يعقوب
Published: June 2023

يتكون البحث من أربعة فصول مع قائمة بالمصادر والملاحق كالآتي:

  يتناول الفصل الأول الإطار المنهجي للبحث إذ يبدأ بعرض مشكلة البحث التي تلقي الضوء على اشتهار أهل العراق منذ أقدم الأزمنة برقة شعورهم ودقة فكرهم وحسن وصفهم للطبيعة والبيئة التي يعيشون فيها، اذ تحتل الموسيقى والغناء مكانة متميزة في ثقافة سكانه وتراثهم فوجدت آلة العود، كآلة موسيقية منذ العصر الأكدي (2350 ـ2170 ق.م) حيث كانت تابعة للغناء، وهي اليوم أما وسيلة للبناء اللحني أو مرافقة (مترجمة) له.

سرد الباحث بعضا من مراحل تطور هذه الآلة سواء في العصر الجاهلي أو في عصر الإسلام ودور العازفين الأوائل والمنظرين من الفلاسفة. وقد اسهم تدريس هذه الآلة الموسيقية  في العصر الحديث في تطوير طرائق العزف والاداء (والذي تطلب تطويرا في صناعة تلك الآلة الموسيقية لتتناسب مع المهارات في العزف) التي تطورت وتوسعت بفتح آفاق جديدة انتقل بها دور آلة العود من الاداء الجماعي (مع الفرقة الموسيقية ) الى الاداء المنفرد (من خلال ما اضافه الشريف محي الدين حيدر) الى طلبته والعمل على جعل العزف على آلة العود الفن القادر على تخطي الحدود التطريبية الى آفاق التعبير الفني ,من خلال المزج بين التقنية وطريقة العزف التقليدي المرافق للغناء, وهذا المزج لم يظهر بشكل واضح للعيان الا لدى البعض من العازفين الذين رافقوا الغناء واستمدوا خبراتهم ممن سبقهم (من مدرسي آلة العود ) حيث استخدموا طرقاً منسجمةً مع طبيعة   الاغنية المنفردة , مما أضفى عليها جمالية مبتعدةً عن المرافقة التقليدية (التي جعلت من آلة العود كآلة مترجمة للغناء), ودراسة اوجه الاشكال الادائية للعود المنفرد .
دراسة مقارنة بين تطبيقات التصميم الجرافيكي
Authors: م. د. راقي صباح نجم الدين  , م. لينا عماد فتحي
Published: June 2023

يُعد الحاسوب آداة لا غنى عنها في صناعة التصميم الجرافيكي. وبالنسبة إلى المحترفين من مصممي الجرافيك فإن أجهزة الحاسوب وما لها من تطبيقات البرمجيات تعد بصورة عامة من الأدوات الأكثر فعالية في مجال الإبداعي الفني، من الطرائق التقليدية. فاستخدام الحاسوب يتطلب تدريباً لكي يسمح للمستخدم بالتركيز على التصميم وليس الأداة، الأمر الذي من شأنه أن ينقل المصمم من خلال العملية الإبداعية بسرعة أكبر لكن تعقيد الحاسوب يمكنه إعاقة هذه العملية بجعل التركيز ينتقل من المنتج إلى التقنية، وهذا ما يمكننا أن نراه يحدث في الكثير من الأحيان حيث تحظى بعض التصاميم بالتقدير ليس لجودتها بل للتقنيات الرقمية التي استخدمت في التعبير عن التصميم. وفي حالات كثيرة يكون فيها المصمم يجيد العمل على تطبيق واحد ولكن حينما يتطلب الامر ان يعمل على تطبيق آخر تصادفه مشكلة وهي صعوبة تعلم التطبيق الجديد بعد التعود على التطبيق الاول. وتأتي هذه الدراسة لتسلط الضوء على اثنين من اشهر تطبيقات التصميم الجرافيكي اذ تهدف هذه الدراسة الى الكشف عن جوانب التشابه والاختلاف بين التطبيقين من خلال مقارنة العمل في بيئتي التطبيقين ومقارنة قوائم وصناديق ادوات التطبيقين، اتبع الباحثان الملاحظة والمقارنة من خلال تجربة العمل في التطبيقين، حيث كانت ابرز معطيات البحث هي ان المصطلحات والمفاهيم في (ادوبي إليستريتور) و(كوريل درو) تختلف في بعض المزيات. وفي بعض الحالات، قد تكون المزايا متماثلةَ في التطبيقين ولكنها موصوفة بإستعمال مصطلح مختلف. في الحالات الأخرى،  يستعمل (كوريل درو)  مصطلحات ومفاهيم جديدة ليس لها مكافئ في  (ادوبي إليستريتور).

CHILDHOOD EWING SARCOMA OF THE BLADDER: A RARE CANCER
Authors: El Moumen Amal , Mahfoud Tarik
Published: June 2023

Ewing sarcoma of the bladder is an exceptionally rare form of bladder tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all cases. The
exact cause of this condition remains unknown, and molecular testing has shown that the presence of the EWSR1 gene
rearrangement is essential to conrm the diagnosis. Treatment for Ewing sarcoma of the bladder typically involves a comprehensive approach,
combining chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. The prognosis for patients with this condition can vary widely, depending on the stage of
cancer at the time of diagnosis and the response to treatment. However, overall, Ewing sarcoma of the bladder is considered a highly aggressive
cancer with a poor prognosis. This is often due to late-stage diagnosis and the high likelihood of recurrence. We report a case of a 1- year-old boy
diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the bladder while discussing the appropriate literature

Vasculitis involves a wide spectrum of clinicopathological process with reactive damage to the involved blood vessels. There is loss of vessel integrity instigating haemorrhage & luminal compromise leading to ischemia and necrosis of the tissue supplied by the involved vessels. It may affect varied size and type of blood vessels at different locations. This case series include three cases of vasculitis affecting different organs with varied presentations. Biopsies of three patients with unusual presentations were studied. Their complete history, physical examinations, laboratory investigations including serology were analysed and clinically correlated. The patients presented with different duration of symptoms varying from as short as 1-week days to 6 weeks. Skin lesions were present in two cases. Serology and autoimmune disease markers were negative in all cases except CD56 seen in 10% of plasma in rst case, ANA + was seen in second case and Weakly positive Mi-2 and borderline positive Scl-70 antibodies was seen in third case. Elevated CRP, CRP were seen in all cases. However, pathological features were in concordance with the clinical diagnosis of vasculitis. They were further classied as vasculitis mimicking multiple myeloma, Vasculitis with gastrointestinal manifestation and Henochschonlein purpura. Vasculitis though a rare disease may manifest as an acute or chronic condition. It needs timely diagnosis by clinicopathological examination to aid in further management. It is important to assess the clinical severity in primary and secondary vasculitis, as it determines morbidity and mortality.

Introduction : The global target to achieve a reduction in Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) under Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG) is less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030. To accomplish this, governments are striving for a long time. However, over a period of time, it is realised that Antenatal care (ANC) literacy is also equally crucial. Hence a comparative study was conducted in rural and urban areas of Maharashtra to assess this important aspect. Aim & objectives: To assess the Antenatal health care literacy among pregnant women in Rural and Urban areas in Maharashtra. For feasibi Methods: lity purposes, a cross-sectional study was conducted at Antenatal Care Out Patient Department located at a medical college and Rural Health Training Centre attached to it. Data was collected randomly among 100 pregnant women attending the same in both settings. The data was entered and analysed in Microsoft Excel 365, and the results were presented appropriately. All the necessary permissions were sought. The study found that 80(80%) of rural Results: participants acknowledged the need for at least four visits during pregnancy compared to 53(53%) in urban areas. Only 28(28%) of women in urban areas and 22% in rural areas were aware of the danger signs of pregnancy. ANC health literacy about early registration for pregnancy care, number of ANC visits required and haemoglobin status were signicantly higher in rural when compared to urban pregnant women ( p-value < 0.0001). Only 2 (2%) from urban and 6 (6%) from rural had information about Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram while 4 (4%) & 5 (5%) from urban and rural areas were knowing about Janani Suraksha Yojana respectively.

Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus is the leading cause of vaccinepreventable encephalitis in Asia and the western Pacic. For most
travelers to Asia, the risk for JE is very low but varies based on
destination, length of travel, season, and activities1. A visit for JE case
investigation was carried out by state IDSP team in november in
Keshoraipatan & Arnetha village. During the visit complete history of
patient was recorded. House to house and Entomological survey was
carried out along with district team in affected area. There was
abundance larvae of Culex mosquitoes found and were collected from
drain adjoining with paddy eld. Pig's population found just in front of
the house and piggeries situated within 500mts from patient's house.
Paddy elds with water frequenting birds (Egret) found within 2 km
range of the patient's house. Seven blood samples were collected of
suspected patients out of which two were found JE positive, two were
borderline for JE and one was dengue positive. Recommendations
were given to district team about fever surveillance and anti-larval
activities on regular basis, dedicated staff(MPW,MI &IC) for anti
larval activities, IEC , all the reporting units (health institutions)in
endemic areas both in public and private sector should further notify all
these suspected JE cases based on standard case denitions

Flight delays incur costs directly and indirectly, such as for maintaining crowd at the gate, extra remuneration for staff, food service, and lodging. The delayed arrival of aircraft will have signicant impact on an airport's management, like the reallotment of parking gates, runways and scheduling of ground staff. The precise prediction of ight delays can provide passengers with dependable travel schedules and improve the service performance of airports and airlines. Objectives: To propose a model that can predict a ight delay, using machine learning algorithms like logistic regression methods. Methods: Logistic model with and without shrinkage was t on an Airlines dataset of movements of 6585 domestic ights of 18 airlines in the United States and then, lasso, ridge and elastic net were used to improve the predictive ability. Results: Among all the models, the day-specic was found to give the best ight delay prediction. Conclusion: Since, only 0.6 sensitivity and 0.5-0.6 specicity could be achieved in our predictive model, it is not very reliable as there are other factors that inuence a ight delay.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects 1-3% of the population and has a major impact on a person's quality of life. Such situations can have a negative impact on the patient's quality of life and encourage psychological and social span. It can be classied as mild, moderate, or severe. Mild psoriasis causes blisters, and when it gets worse, its skin starts to get scaly. This is critical because psoriasis is not contagious, it is important to manage and restrict the condition's symptoms to give patients long-term safety currently treatable but can be reduced, resulting in a normal/ordinary skin surface Therapeutic approaches for psoriasis include topical, oral, or systemic formulations, but they have the ability for long-term harm and may not always provide adequate relief from the disease. Pharmaceutical nano transporters, nanovesicles, and nanoparticles, among other items, can be used to achieve dermal treatment that ensures percutaneous penetration in patients with topical psoriatic symptoms. Nanoparticulate/nano vesicular gels, which are more successful in reducing purities, scaling, and hyperkeratosis of psoriasis plaque, are one of the new and effective treatment alternatives made possible by the development of novel therapies concentrating on the a etiology of psoriasis. The new carrier decreases aky patches and humoral immunity because of its high drug loading, productivity, and safety
