Authors: Samadhiya Swapnil , Sardana Vijay , Bhushan Bharat , Maheshwari Dilip , Goyal Ravi , Pankaj
Published: June 2022

Background:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease characterized by chronic degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons and finally death within 3–5 years usually because of respiratory failure. Riluzole and edaravone are presently available treatments. It may be better to try combination therapy rather than taking individual medications.

Objectives:

To compare the effectiveness of (edaravone + riluzole) combination therapy versus riluzole therapy alone in slowing down the progression of ALS and to evaluate the role of serum creatinine as a marker of disease progression.

Materials and Methods:

Observational, randomized, parallel assignment, open label study. Thirty patients with definite and probable ALS were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. The case group received (riluzole + edaravone) for the initial 6 months, followed by riluzole for the next 6 months. The control group received riluzole for 12 months. After 6 and 12 months, changes in ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R), mRS, and Japanese ALS scores were determined. P value <.05 was considered significant.

Results:

An increase in mRS at 6 months in the case group versus control group was 0.07 versus 0.20, respectively (p =0.02). At 12 months, it was 0.47 versus 0.53, respectively (p =0.17). A decrease in serum creatinine at 6 months in case group versus control group was 0.08 versus 0.09, respectively (p =.82). There was no change in ALS FRS for bulbar symptoms (salivation), 3.46 versus 3.46 in the case group (p =.018) for the first 6 months.

Conclusions:

Combined with riluzole, edaravone slows disease progression and is safe, but the effect is short-term. Bulbar symptoms respond better to combination therapy. The serum creatinine is helpful in monitoring disease progression.

Published: June 2022

Purpose:

Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitor, which is a powerful and effective therapy for male erectile dysfunction (ED) and enables to restore temporary ED. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sildenafil on seminal parameters in male participants with idiopathic infertility.

Materials and Methods:

This randomized, double-blind, controlled cross-over clinical trial study was conducted on 79 participants who had been referred to urology clinics in Rasht. Participants were assigned to two Groups A (n = 40), and B (n = 39). In Phase I, participants in Group A received a pill of sildenafil (50 mg) and then received a pill of placebo after the washout period, and participants in Group B received a pill of placebo and then received a pill of sildenafil after the washout period. In Phase II, participants in Group A received a pill of placebo and then received a pill of sildenafil after the washout period; and participants in group B received sildenafil and then received a placebo after the washout period.

Results:

The mean age of patients was 34 ± 5 years. There was no significant difference in the mean sperm count before receiving the drug in all groups. Sperm count, motility, morphology, pH, viscosity, and liquefaction time of semen did not significantly change after receiving sildenafil in comparison to their corresponding placebo group (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

Sildenafil did not change sperm parameters in treating infertile patients; sildenafil also had no positive effect on semen parameters.

Published: June 2022

COVID-19 has posed an extraordinary challenge to the entire world. As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb around the world, medical experts are facing an unprecedented challenge in correctly diagnosing and predicting the disease. The present research attempts to develop a new and effective strategy for classifying chest X-rays and CT Scans in order to distinguish COVID-19 from other diseases. Transfer learning was used to train various models for chest X-rays and CT Scan, including Inceptionv3, Xception, InceptionResNetv2, DenseNet121, and Resnet50. The models are then integrated using an ensemble technique to improve forecast accuracy. The proposed ensemble approach is more effective in classifying X-ray and CT Scan and forecasting COVID-19.

Los dominicos, pioneros en la defensa de la dignidad del indígena americano (1511-1542)
Authors: Serrera Ramón María
Published: June 2022

Tras el Descubrimiento de América por Cristóbal Colón, para cuya empresa contó con la decisiva ayuda del dominico fray Diego de Deza, fueron los miembros de la Orden de Santo Domingo los primeros que lucharon por la justicia en la defensa de la dignidad del indígena en la conquista de América durante las primeras décadas del asentamiento español en el Nuevo Mundo y los que, con el debate teológico y filosófico, pusieron en cuestión los Justos Títulos de ocupación por parte de España de las lejanas tierras ultramarinas. También fueron los pioneros que intentaron poner en práctica la tesis evangelizadora aislacionista, seguida después por otras órdenes religiosas. Los nombres de Antonio Montesinos, Pedro de Córdoba, Bartolomé de las Casas, Francisco de Vitoria, Tomás de Berlanga, Domingo de Soto, Melchor Cano y tantos otros forman un grupo destacado de precursores que se adelantaron en el tiempo a la hora de proclamarse defensores de los Derechos Humanos.
Don’t Reject This: Key-Recovery Timing Attacks Due to Rejection-Sampling in HQC and BIKE
Authors: Guo Qian , Hlauschek Clemens , Johansson Thomas , Lahr Norman , Nilsson Alexander , Schröder Robin Leander
Published: June 2022

Well before large-scale quantum computers will be available, traditional cryptosystems must be transitioned to post-quantum (PQ) secure schemes. The NIST PQC competition aims to standardize suitable cryptographic schemes. Candidates are evaluated not only on their formal security strengths, but are also judged based on the security with regard to resistance against side-channel attacks. Although round 3 candidates have already been intensively vetted with regard to such attacks, one important attack vector has hitherto been missed: PQ schemes often rely on rejection sampling techniques to obtain pseudorandomness from a specific distribution. In this paper, we reveal that rejection sampling routines that are seeded with secretdependent information and leak timing information result in practical key recovery attacks in the code-based key encapsulation mechanisms HQC and BIKE.Both HQC and BIKE have been selected as alternate candidates in the third round of the NIST competition, which puts them on track for getting standardized separately o the finalists. They have already been specifically hardened with constant-time decoders to avoid side-channel attacks. However, in this paper, we show novel timing vulnerabilities in both schemes: (1) Our secret key recovery attack on HQC requiresonly approx. 866,000 idealized decapsulation timing oracle queries in the 128-bit security setting. It is structurally different from previously identified attacks on the scheme: Previously, exploitable side-channel leakages have been identified in the BCH decoder of a previously submitted HQC version, in the ciphertext check as well as in the pseudorandom function of the Fujisaki-Okamoto transformation. In contrast, our attack uses the fact that the rejection sampling routine invoked during the deterministic re-encryption of the decapsulation leaks secret-dependent timing information, which can be efficiently exploited to recover the secret key when HQC is instantiated with the (now constant-time) BCH decoder, as well as with the RMRS decoder of the current submission. (2) From the timing information of the constant weight word sampler in the BIKE decapsulation, we demonstrate how to distinguish whether the decoding step is successful or not, and how this distinguisher is then used in the framework of the GJS attack to derive the distance spectrum of the secret key, using 5.8 x 107 idealized timing oracle queries. We provide details and analyses of the fully implemented attacks, as well as a discussion on possible countermeasures and their limits.
When the Decoder Has to Look Twice: Glitching a PUF Error Correction
Authors: Ruchti Jonas , Gruber Michael , Pehl Michael
Published: June 2022

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) have been increasingly used as an alternative to non-volatile memory for the storage of cryptographic secrets. Research on side channel and fault attacks with the goal of extracting these secrets has begun to gain interest but no fault injection attack targeting the necessary error correction within a PUF device has been shown so far. This work demonstrates one such attack on a hardware fuzzy commitment scheme implementation and thus shows a new potential attack threat existing in current PUF key storage systems. After presenting evidence for the overall viability of the profiled attack by performing it on an FPGA implementation, countermeasures are analysed: we discuss the efficacy of hashing helper data with the PUF-derived key to prevent the attack as well as codeword masking, a countermeasure effective against a side channel attack. The analysis shows the limits of these approaches. First, we demonstrate the criticality of timing in codeword masking by confirming the attack’s effectiveness on ostensibly protected hardware. Second, our work shows a successful attack without helper data manipulation and thus the potential for sidestepping helper data hashing countermeasures.
BreakMi: Reversing, Exploiting and Fixing Xiaomi Fitness Tracking Ecosystem
Authors: Casagrande Marco , Losiouk Eleonora , Conti Mauro , Payer Mathias , Antonioli Daniele
Published: June 2022

Xiaomi is the leading company in the fitness tracking industry. Successful attacks on its fitness tracking ecosystem would result in severe consequences, including the loss of sensitive health and personal data. Despite these relevant risks, we know very little about the security mechanisms adopted by Xiaomi. In this work, we uncover them and show that they are insecure. In particular, Xiaomi protects its fitness tracking ecosystem with custom application-layer protocols spoken over insecure Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) connections (ignoring standard BLE security mechanisms already supported by their devices) and TLS connections. We identify severe vulnerabilities affecting such proprietary protocols, including unilateral and replayable authentication. Those issues are critical as they affect all Xiaomi trackers released since 2016 and up-to-date Xiaomi companion apps for Android and iOS. We show in practice how to exploit the identified vulnerabilities by presenting six impactful attacks. Four attacks enable to wirelessly impersonate any Xiaomi fitness tracker and companion app, man-in-the-middle (MitM) them, and eavesdrop on their communication. The other two attacks leverage a malicious Android application to remotely eavesdrop on data from a tracker and impersonate a Xiaomi fitness app. Overall, the attacks have a high impact as they can be used to exfiltrate and inject sensitive data from any Xiaomi tracker and compatible app. We propose five practical and low-overhead countermeasures to mitigate the presented vulnerabilities. Moreover, we present breakmi, a modular toolkit that we developed to automate our reverse-engineering process and attacks. breakmi understands Xiaomi application-layer proprietary protocols, reimplements Xiaomi security mechanisms, and automatically performs our attacks. We demonstrate that our toolkit can be generalized by extending it to be compatible with the Fitbit ecosystem. We will open-source breakmi.
Beware of Insufficient Redundancy
Authors: Bartkewitz Timo , Bettendorf Sven , Moos Thorben , Moradi Amir , Schellenberg Falk
Published: June 2022

Fault injection attacks pose a serious threat to cryptographic implementations. Countermeasures beyond sensors and shields usually deploy some form of redundancy to detect or even correct errors. A few years ago, a novel design methodology called Impeccable Circuits has been introduced on how to correctly integrate Concurrent Error Detection (CED) schemes, based on Error-Detection Codes (EDCs), into cryptographic hardware circuits. The underlying adversary model limits attackers to inject at most t single-bit faults. By additionally considering the propagation of faults in combinational circuits, the countermeasure guarantees detection of any faulty computation caused by up to t single-bit faults.In this work, we present an experimental analysis of the Impeccable Circuits countermeasure and its underlying assumptions in modern semiconductor technology. More precisely, we have taken hardware implementations of the lightweight block cipher SKINNY equipped with various forms of the EDC-based CED schemes and realized them as cryptographic co-processors on a 40nm ASIC to experimentally evaluate their resistance to Laser Fault Injection (LFI) attacks. In short, our results show that it is fairly simple to overcome the protection offered by the integrated countermeasures when the length of the code n is smaller than twice its rank k (i.e., no full redundancy). This is not caused by any flaw in the underlying design methodology or concept, but merely demonstrates how easily the defined adversary model can be overcome. In our case, a standard black-box scan over the target using a common single-shot LFI setup is sufficient to occasionally inject more single-bit faults than those bounded by the underlying adversary model when n < 2k. The probability of such events proved to be large enough to perform successful key-recovery attacks via Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) in a matter of hours. Thus, we caution against limiting the redundancy in code-based FI countermeasures to less than the number of bits per word, especially in nanometer technologies, and point out that less-complex countermeasures like duplication showed a higher level of resistance in our experiments at a lower cost.

La dynamique de construction de la paix au Cameroun : conceptions théoriques et approches pratiques
Authors: WANGBA JOSEPH Joseph
Published: June 2022

L’humanité tout entière revendique la paix comme étant un idéal ou une valeur commune. Cette revendication collective favorise une forte territorialisation, avec une certaine disparité du sentiment de paix. Depuis les traités de Westphalie, l’État a constitué le cadre territorial par excellence de construction de la paix dans le monde. En Afrique, c’est la colonisation occidentale qui introduit cette entité territoriale bien clôturée. Au Cameroun, l’État est engagé dans cette architecture de pacification depuis les années 1960. Dès lors, c’est dans le cadre de l’État moderne que la paix est de plus en plus circonscrite. La problématique de la paix, mise actuellement en débat, permet d’interroger les conceptions théoriques et les approches pratiques qui permettent d’analyser la dynamique de construction de la paix au Cameroun. D’une part, la paix a été conçue comme étant la négation de la guerre et des conflits divers, avant de subir une dynamique conceptuelle. Cette nouvelle conception appréhende la paix comme une construction durable et perpétuelle à travers la sécurité humaine et la recherche du développement intégral des populations. Les conceptions théoriques de la paix se situent entre la paix négative et la paix positive. D’autre part, la paix est pratiquement en construction dans une dynamique de l’approche stratocentrée à l’approche polycentrée, avec une mobilisation multisectorielle des mécanismes de paix et de sécurité, et dans une double dimension de paix intérieure et de paix extérieure.

On the relationship of accounting information value and stock prices: The moderation of accounting conservatism
Authors: Chaslim Margareta
Published: June 2022

The information content of published financial statements has value relevance if it is able to revise investor confidence. The indication is the market reaction in the form of changes in stock prices. Many believe that recently the value relevance of accounting information has declined amid increasing conservatism practices. This research has two objectives. First, detecting the existence of value relevance of accounting information through its effect on changes in the same price. Second, examine the effect of accounting conservatism practices on value relevance. The objects of research are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2013-2016. The sample size is 320 observations, consisting of 80 companies each year. By using multiple regression as an analytical tool, this study finds that accounting information is proven to have value relevance to stock prices. Accounting conservatism has a different effect on each accounting information.
IMAGE COMMUNICATION BEFORE DEMOCRACY PARTY
Authors: Taufik Cevi
Published: June 2022

Politics ahead of the contestation cannot be separated from efforts to build an image. The key is to take advantage of the available time to optimize your appearance. Through visual polish and captivating narratives, the media is used as a means of channeling the desire for power. No matter the bad past track record, the quality and competence are still below average, all these shortcomings can be covered by packaging the symbol in such a way. Emphasis on the function of media influence, more emphasis on messages that explain that the figure who is being imaged as the successor of the national leadership has been conveyed. It's just that it is impossible to act openly by asking for support from the community, considering the rules forbid it. Instead, use the media as a manipulation tool to conjure up politicians to be popular in the eyes of their constituents. With regard to this theme, the research aims to reveal the messages used in political socialization. The approach used is a qualitative method with semiotic analysis techniques regarding the signs used by politicians in building self-image in the community.

Published: June 2022

The pattern of centralized government that turned into decentralized has brought a shift in the locus of power from the center to the regions, including changes in political authority at the local level. The spirit of democratization that occurred after the New Order regime had a follow-up impact in the form of decentralization with the enactment of Law No.22/2001 on Regional Autonomy which was later revised into Law No.32/2004 and Law 12/2008.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile İsveç Krallığı arasındaki ilişkiler yeniçağ boyunca sınırlı kalmıştır. Her ne kadar ilk temaslar on altınca yüzyılda kurulmuş olsa da, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na gelen İsveçli ziyaretçilerin sayısı sonraki asırda dikkate şayan seviyede artmıştır. Mevcut çalışma 1620’ler ile 1670’ler arasında Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nu ziyaret eden İsveçli seyyah ve diplomatların bir dökümünü yaparak, meşhur İsveç Kralı XII. Karl’ın (Demirbaş Şarl) 1709 yılında Osmanlılara iltica etmesinden önce iki devlet arasındaki münasebatı aydınlatmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu açıdan, Pual Strasburg (1632/3), Bengt Skytte (1651/2), Claes Rålamb ve Gotthard Welling (1657/8) ile Aslan Aga (1670/1) gibi belirtilen dönemde Osmanlı başkentine gelen İsveç diplomatik heyetleri hususi olarak irdelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda İsveç’in periyodik sayılabilecek temas çabalarının Osmanlılar tarafından ciddiye alınmadığı iddia edilmektedir.

Published: June 2022

Çanakkale Harekâtının bütün kaderini Savaş Konseyi’nde yaşananlar belirlemiş, çıkarmalar başlayana kadar birkaç kez harekât stratejisi değiştirilmiştir. Bu süreçte, düzenli aralıklarla toplanmayan ve dağınık bir görüntü veren Konsey toplantılarında çok fazla konu tartışılmış, özellikle Çanakkale Harekâtı konusunda kararlar daima gecikmeli olarak ve etraflıca tartışılmadan alınmıştır. Bütün bu süreçte gerçekçi bir stratejiye dayanan hiçbir plan ortaya konmamış ve Türk askeri gücü her aşamada küçümsenmiştir. Tutanaklar dikkatlice incelendiğinde, harekatın planlama ve uygulama aşamasında çok ciddi ihmaller ve hatalar yapıldığı görülmektedir. Konsey üyeleri zaman içinde pek çok çelişkiye düşmüş ve tutarsız davranışlar sergilemişlerdir. Çanakkale Muharebelerine giden sürecin iyi anlaşılması için Konsey toplantılarında konuşulanların ve alınan kararların yakından incelemesi gerekir. Bu çalışma birinci el kaynaklara dayanmaktadır. İngiliz arşivlerindeki Savaş Konseyi tutanakları, Çanakkale Komisyonunun belgeler ile alınan tanık ifadelerine dayanarak yayınladığı kapsamlı raporların yanında, sivil-asker Konsey üyelerinin hatıraları da incelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir.

Osmanlı dönemi seyyidleri ile ilgili olarak bazı genel araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmalar incelendiğinde konunun uzun yıllar boyu ihmal edildiği, fakat son yıllarda konuya yönelik araştırmalarda hatırı sayılır bir artış yaşandığı gözlenmektedir. Literatürde gözlenen temel eksiklik, Osmanlı coğrafyasının farklı yer ve dönemlerindeki seyyidleri konu edinen ve sosyal tarih perspektifiyle hazırlanan çalışmaların azlığıdır. Bu gözlemden hareketle XVII. yüzyıl Kayseri seyyidleri hakkında bir araştırma yapmanın faydalı olacağı düşünülmüş ve XVII. yüzyıl Kayseri seyyidlerini tanıtan bu çalışma hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmanın kaynakları 13, 20/1, 41/1, 41/2, 55/1, 55/2, 57/1, 57/3, 59, 60/1, 60/2, 61/1, 61/2, 64/1, 64/2, 66/1, 66/2, 69, 74/2, 75, 77/1, 77/2, 78/1, 78/2, 78/3, 82/2, 88, 91, 91/1, 91/2, 91/3, 92, 96, 100/2, 104 numaralı Kayseri Şer’iyye Sicilleri, dönemin Mühimme Defterleri ve Osmanlı arşivindeki konu ile ilgili belgelerdir.
