Secure Evaluation of Quantized Neural Networks
Authors: Dalskov Anders , Escudero Daniel , Keller Marcel 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
We investigate two questions in this paper: First, we ask to what extent “MPC friendly” models are already supported by major Machine Learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. Prior works provide protocols that only work on fixed-point integers and specialized activation functions, two aspects that are not supported by popular Machine Learning frameworks, and the need for these specialized model representations means that it is hard, and often impossible, to use e.g., TensorFlow to design, train and test models that later have to be evaluated securely. Second, we ask to what extent the functionality for evaluating Neural Networks already exists in general-purpose MPC frameworks. These frameworks have received more scrutiny, are better documented and supported on more platforms. Furthermore, they are typically flexible in terms of the threat model they support. In contrast, most secure evaluation protocols in the literature are targeted to a specific threat model and their implementations are only a “proof-of-concept”, making it very hard for their adoption in practice. We answer both of the above questions in a positive way:We observe that the quantization techniques supported by both TensorFlow, PyTorch and MXNet can provide models in a representation that can be evaluated securely; and moreover, that this evaluation can be performed by a general purpose MPC framework. We perform extensive benchmarks to understand the exact trade-offs between different corruption models, network sizes and efficiency. These experiments provide an interesting insight into cost between active and passive security, as well as honest and dishonest majority. Our work shows then that the separating line between existing ML frameworks and existing MPC protocols may be narrower than implicitly suggested by previous works.
Reimagining Secret Sharing: Creating a Safer and More Versatile Primitive by Adding Authenticity, Correcting Errors, and Reducing Randomness Requirements
Authors: Bellare Mihir , Dai Wei , Rogaway Phillip 
Published: August 2020

AbstractAiming to strengthen classical secret-sharing to make it a more directly useful primitive for human endusers, we develop definitions, theorems, and efficient constructions for what we calladeptsecret-sharing. Our primary concerns are the properties we callprivacy,authenticity, anderror correction. Privacy strengthens the classical requirement by ensuring maximal confidentiality even if the dealer does not employ fresh, uniformly random coins with each sharing. That might happen either intentionally—to enablereproduciblesecretsharing— or unintentionally, when an entropy source fails. Authenticity is a shareholder’s guarantee that a secret recovered using his or her share will coincide with the value the dealer committed to at the time the secret was shared. Error correction is the guarantee that recovery of a secret will succeed, also identifying the valid shares, exactly when there is a unique explanation as to which shares implicate what secret. These concerns arise organically from a desire to create general-purpose libraries and apps for secret sharing that can withstand both strong adversaries and routine operational errors.
The risks in nursing interventions offered by nurses with the purpose of preventing hospital-acquired pressure ulcers
Authors: Dobre Claudia Elena , Cîrstoiu Florin Cătălin , Zazu Mariana , Mazilu Doina Carmen 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The study was performed in seven medical units in Bucharest with the intention to offer a comprehensive analysis of the nurses’ current prevention practices for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers and also to determine: (1) the main risks that can negatively affect the prevention activities for this type of injury, and (2) if there is a correlation between the nurses’ knowledge and the clinical approach to the current hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevention practices. The statistical analysis was based on data collected from 713 questionnaires from subjects who met the inclusion criteria of the study. The results showed that nurses considered protocols for hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevention and its management to be important, but both were not always fully implemented into practice due to the lack of resources, time allocation and staff shortages. The regression analysis method we used was focused to assess the predictive capacity for the combined clinical knowledge and professional approaches to hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevention and management. The conclusion was that a simultaneous improvement in the clinical approaches and professional knowledge on the topic of pressure-ulcer prevention and management may lead to an improvement of up to 6% of the practices in this field according to the results of the statistical analysis performed.
Occupational Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis in a poultry farmer

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a group of inflammatory interstitial lung diseases caused by hypersensitivity immune reactions to the inhalation of various antigens: fungal, bacterial, animal protein, or chemical sources, finely dispersed, with aerodynamic diameter <5μ, representing the respirable fraction. The national register for interstitial lung diseases records very few cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsec allergic alveolitis), a well defined occupational disease. Although not an eminently of occupational origin, the extrinsec allergic alveolitis can occur secondary to occupational exposure to organic substances (animal or insect proteins, bacteria, fungi) or inorganic (low molecular weight chemical compounds) and the occupational doctor is a key actor in the diagnosys. The disease has chronic evolution and exposure avoidance, as early as possible, has major prognostic influence. The occupational anamnesis remains the most important step and the occupational physician is the one in charge for monitoring and detection of the presence of respiratory symptoms in all employees with risk exposure. Next, we present the case of a farmer, without other comorbidities, who develops various respiratory and systemic diseases and manifestations due to repeated exposure to animal proteins and molds, in order to review the risk factors and the consequences of exposure in poultry farms.
Fusion II. Broadening the Field of Observation
Authors: Fonda Paolo 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThis is the second part of the paper in which fusion is considered as one of the fundamental mechanisms of mental functioning, an essential element in every object relation – with variations only in the degree of participation – along with the component connoted by separateness. There is a continuous dialectic relationship between levels of fusion and separateness. Human beings are characterized by an extremely sophisticated and continuously changing boundary system.This part of the paper focuses on some aspects of the role of fusion within the psychoanalytic relation, the mother child matrix, the group mental activity and the meta-ego dimension.
From the Couch to the Chair, Secret or Mistery?
Authors: Cuc Bogdan Sebastian 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Initiated as a search for the truth hidden by the symptoms of hysteria, psychoanalysis, but in fact psychoanalysts, had a particular relationship with the secret over time. Beyond the historical truth of using the word „secret” to name meetings back in the time when the first group of psychoanalysts was being formed, beyond the stigma of secret society or even occult society with which the psychoanalyst society was then labelled, or, more precisely, the community of psychoanalysts was labelled (some still believe this is the case), the question of secrecy has been present since the beginning of psychoanalysis, not only in the minds of those who, in one form or another, were approaching psychoanalysis, but right in the center of the experiences of psychoanalysts’ practices.
Between confidentiality and urging the patient to say “whatever goes through their mind”, between the phantasm of the primitive scene and the construction of intimacy, the meaning of the secret carries the psychoanalyst forward towards revealing the pathogenic truth and the construction of the sanogenoic mystery. From free association to evenly suspended attention, we have a sinuous trajectory of certain affects that, freeing the sensorial that carried them, inscribe the papyrus of the Ego’s history, detached from the Id.
Hiding Shame – A Case Study of Developing Agency
Authors: Kivikkokangas Sami , Leiman Mikael , Laitila Aarno , Stiles William B. 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The hiding aspect of shame makes the study of shame difficult. In this article we aim to show through Hanna’s case study how shame manifests and develops during the course of one psychotherapy process. This will be done using Assimilation analysis (APES) and Dialogical Sequence Analysis (DSA) to show in detail one idiosyncratic developmental path through which the relationship toward the problematic shame experience changes and develops in psychotherapy. Results show how the manifestation of shame toward the problematic experience of being seen was present in the first moments of the first meeting, but also how during the sequence of sessions 7 – 9 Hanna’s relationship toward shame evoked referent unveils and developed gradually through therapeutic work from assimilation stage 2 to reaching stage 5-6 at the end of the 9th hour. This study shows how Hanna was able to reach a new kind of active agency toward the shame that, in the beginning, held the agency in her ’community of voices’, and how this understanding of shame’s developing and hiding nature can be of use in a clinically meaningful way.
The Secret, A Hidden-Found Process
Authors: Romaneț Gabriela 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Following the secret’s customs, encountering it in the myriad manifestations of psychic life and relational domino effect, the current work separates the secret from the act of secretiveness and from trauma, with which the former often confused. The fact that it is intrinsically linked to truth, as it is hidden information waiting to be found, defines the secret as a process involved in working with information-about-self and the self: it is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be discovered. This hidden – found process that accompanies us our whole life is transformed according to the biological and psychological stages one must go through. Thus, the secret is interpreted differently, passing through successive stages of development. From the archaic game of “hide-and-seek”, through the primitive scene of “peeping through the keyhole” and discovering the secret of one’s own genitals, continuing with the type of secret offered by a relationship of friendship in latency, reaching the desecretisation and de-sacralisation of adolescence, the secret is an “act of secrecy” that requires an interior architecture as well as borders between the internal and external universe. Otherwise, the “act of secrecy” fails and turns into secretiveness, a failure of the hidden - found process, because either nothing can be hidden (as in paranoid mechanisms) or everything must be hidden (as in trauma mechanisms).
Facial nerve paralysis
Authors: Sarafoleanu Dorin , Bejenariu Andreea 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The facial nerve, the seventh pair of cranial nerves, has an essential role in non-verbal communication through facial expression. Besides innervating the muscles involved in facial expression, the complex structure of the facial nerve contains sensory fibres involved in the perception of taste and parasympathetic fibres involved in the salivation and tearing processes. Damage to the facial nerve manifested by facial paralysis translates into a decrease or disappearance of mobility of normal facial expression.
Facial nerve palsy is one of the common causes of presenting to the Emergency Room. Most facial paralysis are idiopathic, followed by traumatic, infectious, tumor causes. A special place is occupied by the child’s facial paralysis. Due to the multitude of factors that can determine or favour its appearance, it requires a multidisciplinary evaluation consisting of otorhinolaryngologist, neurologist, ophthalmologist, internist.
Early presentation to the doctor, accurate determination of the cause, correctly performed topographic diagnosis is the key to proper treatment and complete functional recovery.
Evaluation of smell disorders after radiotherapy in patients with laryngeal neoplasm
Authors: Huba Mozes , Muhlfay Gheorghe , Neagos Cristian , Neagos Adriana 
Published: August 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Smell disorders may be classified in quantitative and qualitative. The literature shows that the main causes of odour disorders, both qualitative and quantitative, are due to aging, viral infections and tumors of the upper respiratory tract, craniocerebral trauma, neurodegenerative diseases of the nervous system, drug use or exposure to various toxic substances. Total laryngectomy and oncologic treatment causes smell disorders.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the aspects related to the patient’s smell disorders after total laryngectomy, during the oncological treatment represented by radiotherapy.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. A prospective observational study was performed on a group of 52 patients, over a period of one year (2016-2017), who benefited from total laryngectomy and who underwent oncological treatment, represented by radiotherapy. Patients were evaluated before starting radiotherapy and during radiotherapy sessions. All patients underwent quantitative and qualitative smell assessment.

RESULTS. At the end of week 7 of radiotherapy, none of the patients was considered normosmic, 10 patients were considered to be suffering from hyposmia and 42 from anosmia. Statistically significant changes in the quantitative determination of odour occurred in the fourth week, respectively at the radiation dose of 40Gy. Qualitative odour assessment in this study showed a statistically significant decrease starting with the fifth week of radiotherapy, respectively with a radiation dose of 50Gy.

CONCLUSION. Radiation therapy has a major impact on the quality of life of patients with laryngeal cancer, which has the lowest scores at the beginning and end of the treatment.

Abstract
Epidermoid bone inclusion cysts are pathological structures bordered by a layer of stratified squamous epithelium containing keratin debris. They are also called epidermal bone cysts. Intraosseous epidermoid cysts are rare entities; these lesions may occur as a result of trauma (puncture wound or pressure erosion).
They appear to be well defined, translucent lytic lesions with sclerotic margins on imaging studies. The most frequent sites affected are: the distal phalanx and the calvaria - intradiploic, but a few cases of larger bone involvement have been reported. The imagistic differential diagnosis of this lesion includes intraosseous extension of a glomus tumor, enchondroma, osteoid osteoma, acral metastases, some primary vascular bone tumors, giant cell reparative granuloma, subungual nodular melanoma or other lytic non-neoplastic lesions such as osteomyelitis. We present the case of a 70-year-old man experiencing anxiety and pain due to distal phalanx expansion of the IV digit, following hand trauma. An X-ray was performed, showing a radiotransparent lesion located in the distal phalanx. An intramedullary inclusion cyst must be taken into account as a clinical differential diagnosis. Due to the extensive destruction of the distal phalanx, amputation was necessary. Gross examination of the surgical specimen revealed a cystic lesion that contained whitish, creamy material with extensive necrotic areas. Microscopic examination revealed a ruptured intraosseous epidermoid inclusion cyst, which was successfully excised.
Orthopedic surgery related infections; study of antibiotic resistance and associated comorbidities

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Interventions in the field of orthopedics and traumatology involve more and more the frequent use of osteosynthesis materials and prostheses. Therefore, an increasing number of patients live with these implants, having an increased risk in comparison to the general population to develop complications. Although technological developments have brought this change for the better, it must not be forgotten that these foreign materials come with certain risks, the most feared being the associated infections.
For this article, we conducted an epidemiological study on infections identified in patients treated in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest, from 01.01.2016 to 01.06.2019. We were able to extract data about patients without neglecting their confidentiality.
The information sought, primarily involved the pathogen causing the infection and its antibiogram, but at the same time we tried to build a more accurate history of each patient in order to determine the cause of infection and the risks posed by various associated pathologies. During these 4 years we were able to identify 139 patients who suffered an infection in the musculoskeletal system. In most cases we identified unimicrobial infections, but there were 7 cases in which two pathogens were identified.
Development of novel Quercus rubra chloroplast genome CAPS markers for haplotype identification

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Our main objective was to generate cost-effective chloroplast (cp) DNA markers that are easy to apply and to score. In combination with already published cpSSR markers they should increase haplotype resolution in populations. To discover new cpDNA markers, we sequenced 87-97 % of the entire chloroplast genome (except the second inverted repeat) of 8 trees representing different regions of the Quercus rubra L. natural range with 4,030X-6,297X coverage and assembled the genome sequences using the publicly available chloroplast genome of Quercus rubra L. as a reference. In total, 118 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 107 insertions or deletions (indels) were detected, and 15 cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers were developed for Q. rubra. Using these new markers together with five chloroplast microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (cpSSR) markers, we identified 10 haplotypes in our diversity panel of 19 Q. rubra populations. Specifically, two haplotypes based only on the cpSSR markers could now be separated in five haplotypes. These markers are useful to assess haplotype diversity with high resolution and are also transferable to a closely related species, Quercus ellipsoidalis E. J. Hill.
Is Statism an Amoral Philosophy?
Authors: Wiśniewski Jakub Bożydar 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Thick moral terms – such as theft, fraud, and counterfeiting – are terms whose very use implies a definitionally necessary moral evaluation of their content. In this paper, I shall argue that the philosophy of statism – that is, a philosophy grounded in the belief in the normative justifiability and desirability of monopolistic apparatuses of initiatory violence – is necessarily amoral insofar as it cannot apply thick moral terms in a logically consistent manner. By the same token, I shall argue that libertarianism – i.e., the view that only consensual social relations are morally acceptable – is the only general sociopolitical doctrine capable of accomplishing this task, thus, in contrast to statism, making its prescriptions susceptible to genuine moral evaluation.
Impact of Environmental, Demographical and Personal Factors on Auditors’ Ethical Decision Making in Nigeria
Authors: Fagbemi Temitope Olamide 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This research introduces organization and personal dimensions to the study of ethics amid the adverse reactions of the users of the financial statements to a business fiasco. Using survey research design, a sample of one hundred and thirty-eight audit firms was taken while Probit analysis was used in testing the propositions made. Findings indicate that knowledge of the client industry and government policy are vital in shaping ethical decision making. It was concluded that environmental uncertainties and personal orientation of the auditor offers explanations to the dilemma and decision making of the auditor. Thus, it is suggested that a critical review of audit personnel characteristics and the technological environment would be a step in the right direction if the ethical dilemma is to be minimized.
Real Wage Convergence in Romania: Empirical Evidence Based on Club Converging
Authors: Neagu Olimpia 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The study aims to explore the real wage convergence across the 42 Romanian counties from 1991 to 2016 by using the convergence algorithm developed by Phillips and Sul (2007). The process of divergence is identified in the period of 1991-2016 as well as a number of 4 convergence subgroups (clusters). Transitional curves indicate that over the long-run the real wage tends to converge. Policy implications of the paper’s findings are also provided.
