Double-sided: tight proofs for guessing games in the quantum random oracle model
Authors: Bao Jiawei , Ge Jiangxia , Xue Rui 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe semi-classical One-Way to Hiding (SC-O2H) lemma given by Ambainis et al. (CRYPTO 2019) is a crucial technique to solve the reprogramming problem in the quantum random oracle model (QROM), which can lead to quadratically better bounds for many cases involving guessing games. To achieve tighter bounds, Bindel et al. (TCC, 2019) introduced the double-sided One-Way to Hiding (DS-O2H) lemma, which avoids the loss of query times suffered by the SC-O2H lemma. However, the potential of the DS-O2H lemma to provide better bounds for guessing games has not been considered by far. In this paper, a new double-sided O2H lemma is proposed. By using it, we for the first time give fully tight bounds for several cases involving guessing games. In summary, we show the following results in the QROM: (i) The hardness of inverting a random oracle with the leakage of a one-way injective function can be tightly reduced to the hardness of inverting the involved one-way injective function. (ii) Duman et al. (PKC 2023) introduced the randomness recoverability and defined two transformations $$\textsf {ACWC}_0$$

ACWC

and $$\textsf {ACWC}$$
ACWC
relative to random oracles. For $$\textsf {ACWC}_0$$

ACWC

, we prove that its security can be tightly reduced to the security of the underlying public key encryption (PKE) scheme with the randomness recoverability. For $$\textsf {ACWC}$$
ACWC
, we design a variant $$\textsf {ACWC}_1$$

ACWC

, and prove that its security can be tightly reduced to the security of the underlying PKE scheme with the unique randomness recoverability (a property slightly stronger than randomness recoverability). (iii) The security of the modular Fujisaki-Okamoto () transformation introduced by Hofheinz et al. (TCC 2017), can be tightly reduced to the security of the underlying PKE scheme with the unique randomness recoverability. Additionally, assuming the underlying PKE scheme is unique randomness recoverable, we prove the security of -like transformations

The tight sandstone gas in the Xujiahe Formation of the Sichuan Basin offers substantial resources and strong exploration potential. However, identifying desirable reservoirs proves difficult due to factors such as low porosity and permeability, high heterogeneity, and the complex layering of sand bodies. To pinpoint the main factors influencing optimal zones in the tight sandstone reservoir of the fourth member, we systematically analyze its petrology, physical properties, pore structure, and diagenesis. Our analysis indicates that the primary rock type in the target layer is feldspar lithic sandstone, which generally has poor physical properties. The average porosity measures 6.62%, and the average permeability is 0.1495 × 10−3 μm2, categorizing it as an ultralow-porosity and ultralow-permeability reservoir. The lower limit of porosity is 6%, and the lower limit of permeability is 0.1 × 10−3 μm2. We classify the reservoir into two types based on a porosity threshold of 8% and a permeability threshold of 0.3 × 10−3 μm2. Type I reservoirs show relatively good physical properties, with their reservoir space mainly comprising large pores and high fluid mobility. Reservoir quality depends on sedimentation and diagenesis, and the physical properties of delta front sand bodies exceed those of delta plain sand bodies. Compaction primarily affects reservoir density, followed by calcite and illite cementation. In addition, the chlorite rim effectively preserves pores. Secondary dissolution pores formed by feldspar dissolution significantly enhance reservoir space, thereby improving the overall reservoir quality.

Aims/Background This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of α-n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue in comparison with traditional embolization materials for the treatment of acute renal hemorrhage. Methods A total of 105 patients with the acute renal hemorrhage who underwent superselective renal artery embolization were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups based on the embolization materials used: the traditional group (43 cases, control group) and the medical glue group (62 cases, observation group). Demographic characteristics, medical history, preoperative and postoperative 24-hour blood counts, renal function, and other clinical data were collected. The safety and efficacy of the two treatment methods were then compared between the groups. Results No significant difference in efficacy was observed between the traditional group and the medical glue group (p > 0.05). However, significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of embolization vessel grade, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) difference, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) difference, and combined eGFR difference (p < 0.05). The traditional group exhibited a higher postoperative inflammatory response and greater renal function damage compared to the medical glue group. The degree of vascular embolization also influenced the extent of postoperative inflammatory response and renal function damage in patients with acute renal hemorrhage. Conclusion Compared to traditional embolization materials, NBCA glue demonstrates a clear hemostatic effect in the treatment of patients with acute renal hemorrhage, while also leading to reduced postoperative inflammatory response and renal function damage. NBCA adhesive is both safe and effective for treating acute renal hemorrhage.

Abstract. Kurniawati DY, Puspitasari Y, Yudhana A, Saputro AL, Dhamayanti Y, Purnomo A, Bayram M, Purnama MTE. 2024. Sex determination in Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) based on head morphometry variation among age. Biodiversitas 25: 2740-2748. Sex determining of the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is very crucial to increase the economic value during the rearing period. This study aimed to investigate the potential age at which Japanese quail sex may be recognized using head morphometry assessment. Forty-three quail in all were reared at random and labeled numbers until they turned fifty days old. Without considering sex into account, measurements of each quail's head morphometry and body weight were performed on days 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. Skull Length (SL), Cranial Length (CL), Viscerocranium Length (VL), Maximum Width of Neurocranium (MWN), Beak Width (BW), Zygomaticus Width (ZW), Skull Height (SH), and Bill Depth (BD) were the characteristics that were assessed. To categorize data according to age and sex, quail was verified on day 50 using observations of the abdominal cavity. As a result, initially, on day 20, considerable morphometric variations between male and female quail were observed for the morphometric parameters MWN, BW, ZW, and BD. It was reported that the male quail's MWN (p<0.001), BW (p<0.001), ZW (p<0.001), and BD (p<0.001) parameters were significantly wider than those of the females. A positive correlation was reported for SL, CL, VL, MWN, BW, ZW, SH, and BD parameters, despite the lack of significant differences in body weight. In conclusion, quail sex can be determined using head morphometry as early as 20 days of the rearing period.

Identification of the non-radiological stage of axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) has contributed to the improvement of diagnostics and the expansion of therapeutic approaches in the early stages of the disease. However, there is still an unmet need for effective treatment of patients with active nr-axSpA.Objective: to evaluate the dynamics of nr-axSpA in patients in the Kaliningrad region and to identify additional factors influencing the radiological progression of the disease.Material and methods. A total of 68 patients with nr-axSpA were examined at baseline and during 3 year follow-up, most of them were women (62%). The median age of the participants was 27.5 [23.0; 33.3] years. The duration of diagnosis was 1 [1; 2] years. HLA-B27 antigen positivity was present in 40% of cases. Patients at baseline and during follow-up underwent a standard clinical and laboratory examination, pelvic radiography and magnetic resonance imaging of the sacroiliac joints. In addition, cytokine levels (visfatin, PPM1A, MIF, serum calprotectin) and the concentration of IgCD74 antibodies were determined.Results and discussion. After 3 years of follow-up, the diagnosis still met the criteria for nr-axSpA in 30 (44.1%) of the 68 patients, in 16 (23.5%) it transformed into radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA), in 7 (10.3%) – to axial psoriatic arthritis, in 13 (19.1%) the clinical picture no longer met the criteria for nr-axSpA, 2 (3%) patients dropped out of the study. When analyzing the values of visfatin, PPM1A, MIF and serum calprotectin, no differences were found between nr-axSpA and r-axSpA, while the average concentrations of IgCD74 antibodies were slightly higher in patients with nr-axSpA (7.4 and 5.0 ng/ml respectively). It was shown that the probability of radiological progression from nr-axSpA to r-axSpA increased 3.308-fold with a one-unit increase in the ASDAS (Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score) index.Conclusion. The median duration of nr-axSpA diagnostics in the Kaliningrad region was 1 year. In terms of dynamics, after 3 years of observation, 44.1% of patients still met the criteria for nr-axSpA, and radiological progression to r-axSpA was observed in 23.5% of cases. High values of the ASDAS index and its increase by 1 unit increased the speed of radiological progression of nr-axSpA by 3.308 times. The difficulties in the early diagnosis of axSpA in practice necessitate the establishment of reference centers to obtain expert opinions on issues of differential diagnosis and treatment choices in patients with nr-axSpA and ankylosing spondylitis.

В статье сформулированы аргументы в пользу самостоятельной значимости проблемы понимания в современной философии науки. Очевидно, что невозможно создать серьезную концепцию понимания без исследования индикаторов понимания, используемых учеными. Изучив публикации в области искусственного интеллекта, естествознания и философии науки, автор описал критерии понимания, применяемые исследователями в этих областях знания. Основной результат состоит в предварительной классификации критериев понимания с учетом степеней универсальности этих критериев и степеней понимания изучаемых проблем, которые возникают у исследователей в процессе обдумывания и решения этих проблем при использовании формальных методов.

Obviously, it is impossible to devel-op a serious concept of understanding without examining the indicators of understanding used by scientists. Having studied publications in the field of artificial intelligence, natural science and philosophy of science, the author describes the criteria of understanding used by researchers in these fields of knowledge. The main result is a preliminary classification of the criteria of understanding in view of their degrees of universality and the degrees of understanding of the problems being studied, which researchers get in the course of thinking about and solving these problems when using formal methods.
ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ МАТЕМАТИЧЕСКОГО ДОКАЗАТЕЛЬСТВА С ТОЧКИ ЗРЕНИЯ ПСИХОЛОГИИ РАЗВИТИЯ

Целью статьи является рассмотрение этапов развития математического доказательства как последовательных этапов развития человеческого мышления, идущего по пути нарастания абстрактности. Разбирается точка зрения Я. Хакинга, выделяющего разные стили математического доказательства: подходы Декарта и Лейбница. Показано, что их нельзя рассматривать вслед за Хакингом как независимые подходы к пониманию доказательства. Они иллюстрируют развитие человеческого сознания, которое продвигается от конкретных представлений к абстрактному мышлению, поэтому подходы Декарта и Лейбница следует рассматривать как исторически развивающиеся подходы к пониманию доказательности.
The article is aimed to examine the stages of development of mathematical proof as successive stages in the development of human thinking which progresses towards the increase of abstrаction. The point of view of I. Hacking is analyzed, who identifies different styles of mathematical proof - the approaches of Descartes and Leibniz. It is shown that these styles cannot be considered, following Hacking, as independent approaches to understanding proof. They represent the development of human consciousness, which advances from concrete concepts to abstrаct thinking, therefore the approaches of Descartes and Leibniz should be considered as historically developing approaches to under-standing evidence.
НОЯБРЬ ИСКУССТВЕННОГО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТА

Термин «зима искусственного интеллекта» был предложен по аналогии с термином «ядерная зима» для описания цепной реакции, вызванной пессимистическими прогнозами экспертов и приводящей к резкому сокращению исследований в сфере ИИ. Впоследствии термин «зима ИИ» под влиянием понятия «цикл ажиотажа» стал характеризовать инвестиционный цикл ИИ-исследований и только упрочился с появлением термина «весна ИИ» как синонима «бума ИИ». Последние несколько лет отдельные исследователи предрекают зиму ИИ, предупреждая о возможных проблемах, следующих за «пиком завышенных ожиданий». Однако более тщательный анализ показывает, что при предсказании зимы ИИ не учтено несколько факторов, ключевыми из которых являются институциональные и экономические, а также упущен из виду принципиально иной подход современного общества к ИИ-исследованиям. Это значит, что даже с наступлением «ноября ИИ» в обозримом будущем зима фундаментальных ИИ-исследований так и не наступит.
The term “artificial intelligence winter” was coined by analogy with the term “nuclear winter” to describe the chain reaction caused by experts’ pessimistic forecasts and resulting in a drastic decline in AI research. Later on, the term “AI winter,” influenced by the concept of “hype cycle,” began to describe the investment cycle of AI research and only became stronger with coining the term “AI spring” as a synonym for “AI boom.” Over the past few years, several researchers have been predicting an AI winter and warning of potential problems following the “peak of inflated expectations.” However, a more thorough analysis shows that predicting an AI winter does not take into account some factors, the key ones being institutional and economic, as well as ignores the fundamentally different approach of modern society to AI research. This means that even with the advent of “AI November,” the winter of basic AI research will not come in the near future.

AbstractCatfish is one type of freshwater fish that has a very high economic value so that catfish is one of the fishery commodities that is very popular with the public. PT Ikan Bangun Indonesia is a place that cultivates and sells catfish with a biofloc cultivation system and is located in Cimanggu, Bogor, West Java. The purpose of this case study is to identify risk events and risk agents found in the cultivation of catfish at PT Ikan Bangun Indonesia to be evaluated and find the most ideal risk mitigation. The research method used is qualitative. The data sources used come from primary and secondary data. Risk identification is carried out by interview and direct observation to the relevant division so that there are 14 risk events and 41 causative agents of risk events. Based on the HOR 1 measurement, the ARP value is obtained which shows that A17 (Catfish seeds fail to adapt) occupies the first priority position with its ARP value of 3,420. From the results of the HOR 2 calculation, it can be concluded that the most ideal mitigation to be carried out is controlling the pond irrigation equipment regularly, selecting incoming seeds and not accepting sick seeds, and using water reservoirs to settle impurities from water sources.Keywords : Farming; Catfish; Risk Mitigation; House of RiskAbstrakIkan lele adalah salah satu jenis dari ikan air tawar yang memiliki nilai ekonomis sangat tinggi sehingga ikan lele menjadi salah satu komoditas perikanan yang sangat digemari oleh masyarakat.
