Published: November 2024

Perkembangan informasi saat ini memiliki dampak negatif juga positif. Untuk menanggulangi adanya dampak negatif, diperlukan adanya kriptografi. Hal ini bertujuan agar keamanan pesan teks terjaga. Affine Cipher merupakan salah satu algoritma kriptografi simetris yang menggunakan (m) sebagai kunci multiplikatif dan (b) sebagai jumlah pergeseran pada saat proses enkripsi. Pada saat proses dekripsi menggunakan balikan dari kunci multiplikatif (m-1). Goldbach Code diasumsikan bahwa setiap bilangan bulat genap yang lebih besar dari empat merupakan penjumlahan dari dua bilangan prima. Penelitian ini memiliki dua tahapan, yaitu: proses enkripsi dan dekripsi. Pada penelitian ini, proses yang akan dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengamankan pesan teks yang diawali dengan mengenkripsikannya menggunakan Affine Cipher dan setelahnya akan dikompresi dengan menggunakan Algoritma Goldbach Code untuk menghasilkan cipherteks. Kemudian untuk mengembalikan pesan akan didekompresi dengan menggunakan Algoritma Goldbach Code dan dekripsi dengan menggunakan Affine Cipher. Dengan menggabungkan Affine Cipher dan Algoritma Goldbach code hasil dari proses pengamanan pesan teks akan lebih aman dikarenakan cipherteks yang dihasilkan memiliki panjang bit yang berbeda.

The development of information today has both negative and positive impacts. To overcome the negative impact, cryptography is needed. This aims to maintain the security of text messages. Affine Cipher is a symmetric cryptography algorithm that uses (m) as the multiplicative key and (b) as the number of shifts during the encryption process. The decryption process uses the reciprocal of the multiplicative key (m-1). Goldbach Code assumes that every even integer greater than four is the sum of two prime numbers. This research has two stages, namely: encryption and decryption process. In this research, the process that will be carried out aims to secure text messages that begin by encrypting them using Affine Cipher and afterwards will be compressed using the Goldbach Code Algorithm to produce ciphertext. Then to restore the message, it will be decompressed using the Goldbach Code Algorithm and decrypted using Affine Cipher. By combining Affine Cipher and Goldbach Code Algorithm, the result of the text message security process will be more secure because the resulting ciphertext has a different bit length.

Based on the diversified application scenarios at Ant Group, we built the Ant Knowledge Graph Platform (AKGP). It has constructed numerous domain-specific knowledge graphs related to merchants, companies, accounts, products, and more. AKGP manages trillions of structured knowledge graphs, serving search, recommendation, risk control and other businesses. However, as the demand increasing for various workloads such as graph pattern matching, graph representation learning, and cross-domain knowledge reuse, the existing warehouse systems based on relational DBMS or graph databases are unable to meet the requirements. To address these issues, we propose KGFabric, an industrial-scale knowledge graph management system built on the distributed file system (DFS). KGFabric offers a nearline knowledge storage engine that utilizes a Semantic-enhanced Programmable Graph (SPG) model, which is compatible with the Labeled Property Graph (LPG) model. The data is persistently stored in DFS, such as HDFS, which leverages the POSIX file system API, making it suitable for deployment in multi-cloud environment at low cost. KGFabric provides a native graph-based and hybrid storage format that can serve as a shared backend for parallel graph computing systems, significantly accelerating the analysis of multi-workload. Additionally, KGFabric includes a graph fabric framework that minimizes data duplication and guarantees data security.
KGFabric is able to manage Peta-scale data and has supported graph fabric and analysis with over 100 billion relations at Ant Group. We conduct experiments on various datasets to evaluate the performance of KGFabric. Compared with popular relational DBMS and graph databases, the storage space for semantic relations is reduced by over 90%. The performance of graph fabric improves by 21× in real-world workloads. In multi-hop semantic graph analysis, KGFabric enhances performance by 100×.

SQL has been extremely successful as the de facto standard language for working with data. Virtually all mainstream database-like systems use SQL as their primary query language. But SQL is an old language with significant design problems, making it difficult to learn, difficult to use, and difficult to extend. Many have observed these challenges with SQL, and proposed solutions involving new languages. New language adoption is a significant obstacle for users, and none of the potential replacements have been successful enough to displace SQL.
In GoogleSQL, we've taken a different approach - solving SQL's problems by extending SQL. Inspired by a pattern that works well in other modern data languages, we added piped data flow syntax to SQL. The results are transformative - SQL becomes a flexible language that's easier to learn, use and extend, while still leveraging the existing SQL ecosystem and existing userbase. Improving SQL from within allows incrementally adopting new features, without migrations and without learning a new language, making this a more productive approach to improve on standard SQL.

Sicherheit in turbulenten Zeiten: Herausforderungen für die Bildung
Authors: Grande Edgar 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Wir befinden uns in einem neuen Zeitalter der Unsicherheit, das geprägt ist von neuen zivilisatorischen Unsicherheiten, multiplen Krisen und Kriegen. Sicherheit kann in einer so unsicheren und turbulenten Welt nicht mehr über kompensatorische Politiken alleine hergestellt werden, sie muss vor allem über individuelle Befähigung geschaffen werden. Deshalb sollte Bildungspolitik im 21. Jahrhundert den gleichen Stellenwert bekommen, den die Sozialpolitik im 20. Jahrhundert hatte. Das kann nicht nur Aufgabe des Staates allein sein. Hier besteht auch ein großer und zunehmender Bedarf für zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement.

BackgroundSomatic GNAS mutations are acknowledged as a significant etiological factor for acromegaly. However, the relationship between GNAS mutation status, clinical characteristics and gender has not been adequately investigated. This study aims to address these gaps by examining GNAS mutations and delineating the detailed clinical profile of affected patients within a Chinese acromegaly cohort.MethodsOur study encompassed 97 individuals newly diagnosed with acromegaly who underwent surgical treatment between May 2015 and January 2022. We obtained DNA from frozen pituitary adenomas to screen for GNAS hotspot mutations and assessed the associated clinical characteristics.ResultsIn our cohort, 44.3% (43/97) of patients exhibited somatic GNAS mutations. Patients with mutations were predominantly male (58.1 vs 33.3%, P = 0.015), experienced longer diagnosis delays (72.0 (48.0, 120.0) vs 36.0 (21.0, 75.0) months, P = 0.002), had smaller maximum tumor diameters (1.75 ± 0.83 vs 2.23 ± 0.89 cm, P = 0.008) and demonstrated higher rates of growth hormone (GH) secretion per unit tumor volume (18.93 (9.67, 30.12) vs 10.91 (2.80, 20.40) ng/mL cm−3, P = 0.005). Regarding gender-specific differences, GNAS mutations in male patients were linked to significantly higher baseline GH levels (24.40 (14.40, 36.30) vs 10.55 (5.25, 16.95) ng/mL, P = 0.002), while female patients with mutations had notably smaller tumor sizes (1.55 ± 0.55 cm vs 2.32 ± 0.85 cm, P < 0.001).ConclusionGNAS mutations are prevalent among Chinese acromegaly patients, correlating with reduced pituitary tumor sizes and enhanced GH secretion functions. Our findings underscore the influence of gender on the clinical manifestations of GNAS mutations. Accordingly, we recommend that future clinical and foundational research studies on acromegaly give heightened consideration to gender-specific differences.

Published: November 2024

The article aims to reveal access to justice during wartime in cases related to protecting citizens' rights, freedoms and interests. Active hostilities are taking place in most regions of Ukraine, making it impossible to deliver justice in administrative courts. However, the High Council of Justice has resolved this issue properly, so access to justice in Ukraine during wartime in cases related to protecting citizens' rights, freedoms and interests is currently possible following the Constitution of Ukraine. Courts are obliged to administer justice even under martial law, and their powers are not suspended. To ensure access to the Court, the Supreme Court changed the territorial jurisdiction of about one hundred courts in Ukraine. In connection with the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, all procedural terms shall be renewed, consideration of cases shall not be stopped, and excessive formalism on the part of judges shall not allowed. The methodological basis of the research is presented as comparative-legal and systematic analysis, formal-legal method, interpretation method, hermeneutic method, and methods of analysis and synthesis. The article analyzes the Decision of the ECtHR, and based on this, the author concludes that the ECtHR considers financial costs as an obstacle to accessing justice. Access to Court is adequate only when a person will have a real opportunity to challenge wrongful actions in practice. According to the ECtHR, the construction of Article 6 of the Convention is effective only if the case is considered in Court. The ECtHR singles out the right to access the Court as a component of the right to a fair trial. Attention is drawn to the fact that courts must take all measures to restore violated rights.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Caenorhabditis elegans is highly important in current research, serving as a pivotal model organism that has greatly advanced the understanding of fundamental biological processes such as development, cellular biology, and neurobiology, helping to promote major advances in various fields of science. In this context, the survival of a nematode under various conditions is commonly investigated via statistical survival analysis, which is typically based on hypothesis testing, providing valuable insights into the factors influencing its longevity and response to various environmental factors. The extensive reliance on hypothesis testing is acknowledged as a concern in the scientific analysis process, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive evaluation of alternative statistical approaches to ensure a rigorous and unbiased interpretation of research findings. In this work, we propose an alternative method to hypothesis testing for evaluating differences in nematode survival. Our approach relies on a clustering technique that takes into account the complete structure of survival curves, enabling a more comprehensive assessment of survival dynamics. The proposed methodology helps to identify complex effects on nematode survival and enables us to derive the probability that treatment induces a specific effect. To highlight the application and benefits of the proposed methodology, it is applied to two different datasets, one simple and one more complex.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics and the dynamics of bacterial communities. The experimental design included four treatment groups: control group (CON), 200ppb HRW group (HRW200ppb), 400ppb HRW group (HRW400ppb), and 800ppb HRW group (HRW800ppb). Each group was analyzed at 12-hour (h) and 48-hour (h) time points with five replicates, totaling 40 samples. The results showed that the highest gas production and methane content were observed in the 800ppb HRW group among the four groups. However, the 200ppb HRW group had significantly lower methane content during both 12 h and 48 h fermentations compared to the other treatment groups (P < 0.05). In terms of rumen fermentation indicators, the 400ppb HRW group significantly increased the levels of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and microbial crude protein (MCP), but reduced the dry matter degradation rate at 12 h fermentation (P < 0.05). After the 48 h fermentation, the HRW400ppb group had the highest MCP content (P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in NH3-N and dry matter degradation rate compared to the CON group (P > 0.05). Although HRW did not significantly benefit the synthesis of total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) and individual VFA, the HRW800ppb group significantly increased the ratio of acetate to propionate (P < 0.05). Based on these results, we selected the HRW400ppb group for subsequent bacterial community analysis. Bacterial community analysis showed that compared with the CON group, the HRW400ppb group had significant increases in the Simpson index, Firmicutes, Streptococcus, Schwartzia, Prevotellaceae_YAB2003_group, and Oribacterium, and significant decreases in the Prevotella, Ruminobacter, Succinivibrio, unclassified Succinivibrionaceae, and Prevotellaceae_UCG-003 at 12 h fermentation (P < 0.05). As fermentation time extended to 48 h, the differential bacterial communities changed. The abundance of Prevotellaceae_YAB2003_group and Oribacterium significantly increased, while the abundance of Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group and Succiniclasticum significantly decreased in the HRW group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed the negative associations between CH4 and Streptococcus. Moreover, the abundance of Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group positively correlated with the CH4. Collectively, these results indicate that HRW can modulate rumen fermentation and microbial community structure to reduce methane emissions without significantly affecting VFA synthesis, highlighting its potential as drinking water for enhancing ruminant nutrition and mitigating the environmental impact of livestock farming.
