DKSM‐DHT: privacy‐preserving dynamic key sharing model in distributed cloud computing environment
Authors: Muthurajan Vinothkumar , Narayanasamy Balaji 
Published: September 2016

AbstractData outsourcing over the cloud considers the storage space minimization as an important factor for the last decade. Various existing systems such as a single key for virtual machine (VM), third‐party auditing (TPA) schemes are discussed for the less storage assurance. But they suffer from the several limitations such as less security, complexity, and unaware of malicious behavior. To overcome the aforementioned issues, the dynamic key sharing model (DKSM) is proposed to preserve the privacy in the distributed cloud computing environment. A novel third‐party auditor (TPA) in DKSM model monitors the service provisioning scheme in the cloud. Initially, TPA checks their privileges and allows the users to acquire the set of available VMs address with the keys. Then, we create a hash‐based message authentication code for entire services prior to file splitting during the auditing process. The corresponding key after each encryption will be discarded. Henceforth, the creation of dynamic key assures the service integrity and encryption of each part. This model improves the security and privacy of the shared content in the cloud environment. On the basis of TPA verification, the user holds the encrypted key to access the file and store it in the distributed hash table. The experimental results exhibit better encryption time, decryption time, average auditing time, storage overhead, and computation overhead than the traditional method of single key‐based encryption for VM in terms of document size, the number of requests, and the number of servers. The proposed DKSM evaluated privacy performance against the number of users, and the maximum performance is achieved. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Proving completeness of logic programs with the cut
Authors: Drabent Włodzimierz 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Completeness of a logic program means that the program produces all the answers required by its specification. The cut is an important construct of programming language Prolog. It prunes part of the search space, this may result in a loss of completeness. This paper proposes a way of proving completeness of programs with the cut. The semantics of the cut is formalized by describing how SLD-trees are pruned. A sufficient condition for completeness is presented, proved sound, and illustrated by examples.

AbstractVery small superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (VSOPs) rapidly accumulate in atherosclerotic lesions, thereby enabling plaque visualization by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study was performed to identify the uptake mechanisms of VSOPs into atherosclerotic plaques. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (LDLR−/−) mice with advanced atherosclerosis were analyzed using MRI and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at various time points after intravenous administration of VSOPs. Post-mortem MRI detected VSOP labeling of atherosclerotic plaques 10 min after injection, and the signal increased over the first 3 h. TEM revealed that the intensive plaque labeling was mediated by accelerated transcytosis of VSOPs through endothelial cells overlaying atherosclerotic lesions. Experiments with endocytosis inhibitors and small interfering RNA (siRNA) revealed a dynamin-dependent mechanism involving both clathrin- and caveolin-mediated processes. In cell culture experiments, endothelial VSOP uptake was enhanced under proatherogenic flow and TNFα stimulation, conditions that are both present in plaque areas. Our study demonstrates that VSOPs enable non-invasive MRI assessment of accelerated endothelial transcytosis, an important pathomechanism in atherosclerotic plaque formation.
Explaining the Effect of Parent-Child Coresidence on Marriage Formation: The Case of Japan
Authors: Yu Wei-hsin , Kuo Janet Chen-Lan 
Published: September 2016

AbstractMany single adult children in countries around the world live with their parents. Such coresidence has been thought to delay the transition to first marriage, although the exact reasons for the delay have not been sufficiently examined. Using panel data from Japan, we investigate whether changes in never-married adults’ residential status lead to alterations in their marital aspirations, courtship behaviors, romantic opportunities, and perceived obstacles to marrying. Our estimation of fixed-effects models helps address potential bias caused by single individuals’ selection into living in the parental home. The analysis indicates that living with parents is associated with a lower probability of forming romantic relationships, thereby decelerating the transition to first marriage. The never-married, however, do not desire marriage less, put less effort into finding romantic partners, or have fewer opportunities to meet potential partners when coresiding with parents. Overall, the findings suggest that living in the parental home increases never-married men’s contentment with their immediate social environment, whereas it decreases women’s psychological readiness to transition into adult roles, making both men and women less eager to settle into a romantic relationship.
Changes in the Transnational Family Structures of Mexican Farm Workers in the Era of Border Militarization
Authors: Hamilton Erin R. , Hale Jo Mhairi 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Historically, undocumented Mexican farm workers migrated circularly, leaving family behind in Mexico on short trips to the United States. Scholars have argued that border militarization has disrupted circular migration as the costs of crossing the border lead to longer stays, increased settlement, and changing transnational family practices. Yet, no study has explored changes in the transnational family structures of Mexico-U.S. migrants that span the era of border militarization. Using data from the National Agricultural Workers Survey, we document a dramatic shift away from transnational family life (as measured by location of residence of dependent children) among undocumented Mexican farm workers and a less dramatic shift among documented Mexican farm workers in the United States between 1993 and 2012. These trends are not explained by changes in the sociodemographic characteristics of farm workers or by changing demographic conditions or rising violence in Mexico. One-half of the trend can be accounted for by lengthened duration of stay and increased connections to the United States among the undocumented, but none of the trend is explained by these measures of settlement among the documented, suggesting that some Mexican farm workers adopt new family migration strategies at first migration. Increases in border control are associated with lower likelihood that children reside in Mexico—a finding that holds up to instrumental variable techniques. Our findings confirm the argument that U.S. border militarization—a policy designed to deter undocumented migration—is instead disrupting transnational family life between Mexico and the United States and, in doing so, is creating a permanent population of undocumented migrants and their children in the United States.

AbstractThe current study aimed to determine, using a swine model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), whether short‐ and long‐term neurological deficiencies and interactive dysfunctions of Low Birth‐Weight (LBW) offspring might be related to altered pattern of neurotransmitters. Hence, we compared the quantities of different neurotransmitters (catecholamines and indoleamines), which were determined by HPLC, at brain structures related to the limbic system (hippocampus and amygdala) in 14 LBW and 10 Normal Body‐Weight (NBW) newborn piglets. The results showed, firstly, significant effects of sex on the NBW newborns, with females having higher dopamine (DA) concentrations than males. The IUGR processes affected DA metabolism, with LBW piglets having lower concentrations of noradrenaline at the hippocampus and higher concentrations of the DA metabolites, homovanillic acid (HVA), at both the hippocampus and the amygdala than NBW neonates. The effects of IUGR were modulated by sex; there were no significant differences between LBW and NBW females, but LBW males had higher HVA concentration at the amygdala and higher concentration of 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic acid, the serotonin metabolite, at the hippocampus than NBW males. In conclusion, the present study shows that IUGR is mainly related to changes, modulated by sex, in the concentrations of catecholamine neurotransmitters, which are related to adaptation to physical activity and to essential cognitive functions such as learning, memory, reward‐motivated behavior and stress.

Authors: de Souza e Benevides Igor Borba , Santos Carlos Henrique Marques dos 
Published: September 2016

AbstractLower gastrointestinal bleeding is defined as a bleeding originated from a source distal to the Treitz ligament and the colonoscopy is well established as the diagnostic procedure of choice.
Objective To evaluate the results of colonoscopies performed to diagnose the cause of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding in a general hospital at Mato Grosso do Sul.
Material and methods Colonoscopy procedures performed in the Endoscopy service of the Hospital Regional de Mato Grosso do Sul in those patients admitted due to an acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding from January 2014 to December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The studied variables were age, gender, diagnosis and localization of the lesion.
Results The mean age was 66 years, and there was a little predominance of the male gender. Diverticular disease was the main cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in this study, followed by cancer, inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, polyps, and angiodysplasia.
Conclusion The colonoscopy showed to be an effective diagnostic method in the case of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding and a good therapeutic tool in the case of diverticular disease and angiodysplasia.
Social management capabilities of multinational buying firms and their emerging market suppliers: An exploratory study of the clothing industry

Published: September 2016

AbstractFor sustainability, research in operations and supply chain management historically emphasized the development of environmental rather than social capabilities. However, factory disasters in Bangladesh, an emerging market and the second largest clothing exporter in the world, revealed enormous challenges in the implementation of social sustainability in complex global supply chains. Against the backdrop of a building collapse in Bangladesh's clothing industry, this research uses multiple case studies from two time periods to explore the skills, practices, relationships and processes – collectively termed “social management capabilities” (SMCs) – that help buyers and suppliers respond to stakeholder pressures; address regulatory gaps; and improve social performance. The study not only captures the perspectives of both multinational buyers and their emerging market suppliers, but also provides supplementary evidence from other key stakeholders, such as NGOs and unions. Our findings show that, in the absence of intense stakeholder pressure, buyers can lay the foundation for improved social performance by using their own auditors and collaborating with suppliers rather than using third‐party auditors. However, in the face of acute attention from customers, NGOs and media, we observed that consultative buyer‐consortium audits emerged, and shared third‐party audits offered other advantages such as increased transparency and improvements in worker education and training. Finally, we present research propositions derived from our empirical study to guide future research on implementing social sustainability in emerging markets.
Well-Being: Reality's Role
Authors: FORCEHIMES ANDREW T. , SEMRAU LUKE 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT:A familiar objection to mental state theories of well-being proceeds as follows: Describe a good life. Contrast it with one identical in mental respects, but lacking a connection to reality. Then observe that mental state theories of well-being implausibly hold both lives in equal esteem. Conclude that such views are false. Here we argue this objection fails. There are two ways reality may be thought to matter for well-being. We want to contribute to reality, and we want our experience of the world to be veridical. Yet, if one accepts that reality matters in either of these ways, one must posit differences in well-being where no such differences exist.

AbstractBackground: Interhospital transfer is an important but resource-intensive pattern of care. The use for stroke patients is highly dependent upon health system structure. We examined the impact of hospital transfers for stroke care in Canada. Methods: We analyzed hospital administrative data within the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Database for the 3 fiscal years 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14. Patients with clinical stroke syndrome (ischemic or hemorrhagic) were identified using International Classification of Diseases. Stroke centers were defined by Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada stroke report. Results: During the 3-year period,397 patients in Canada (excluding Quebec) were admitted to hospital for clinical stroke syndrome. Median age was 75 (interquartile range [IQR] 64–84) years; 50.6 % were male. Less than 5% (n=4030) of patients were transferred. Patients transferred to stroke centers were younger (p<0.001) and had shorter median length of stay (p<0.001). The highest probability of discharge home was associated with sole care at stroke center (43.8%). Transfer to stroke center from community hospital had the highest probability for discharge to rehabilitation facility (25%) and lowest to either long-term (2.1%) or complex community care (2.0%). Transferred patients had lower mortality at discharge. Conclusion: Younger patients were transferred more frequently to stroke centers; older patients were more likely treated in community hospitals. Sole stroke center care was associated with high discharge rate to home; transfer to a stroke center was associated with high discharge rate to rehabilitation and lower mortality rates.

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the 3-tiered treatment model for medical treatment after an earthquake.MethodsBased on the practices of the national emergency medical rescue services in the Lushan earthquake zone, the 3-tiered treatment classification approach was retrospectively reviewed.ResultsMedical rescue teams assembled and reported quickly to the disaster areas after the earthquake. The number of injured people had reached 25,176 as of April 30; of these, 18,611 people were treated as outpatients, 6565 were hospitalized, and 977 were seriously or severely injured.ConclusionsThe 3-tiered treatment model was the main approach used by rescue services after the Lushan earthquake. Primary and secondary treatments were of the highest importance and formed the basis of the Lushan model of earthquake rescue and treatment.

Published: September 2016

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the development of the Patient Barcode Registration System (PBRS) over time and confirm the usability and feasibility of the system’s latest version during a large trauma drill.MethodsThe development of a PBRS started around 1993 aiming to provide an effective tool for patient registration, tracking, and tracing during major incidents. The PBRS uses wristbands with barcodes to follow and register patients in the care process. During a large trauma drill, 120 patients and 40 relatives were registered and traced in the system. Errors in registration, tracking, and tracing of persons were registered.ResultsOf the 120 patients, no patient data were lost and patients could be traced in real time throughout the treatment process by the command team. Strategic decisions could be made based on the information provided by the system. Patient relatives were easily matched and government agencies received regular updates on the number and characteristics of the patients.ConclusionThe PBRS is a usable, feasible, and sustainable patient tracking and tracing tool to be used during the hospital response to major incidents. Lessons learned during the last 20 years include the need for continuous updates to withstand the challenge of time. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2017;11:244–250)
Limit Dependences in Stability Calculations With Account for Physical Nonlinearity
Authors: Rutman J. , Ulitin V. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractStability of bars, plates, shells, and other thin-walled structures in conditions of small physical nonlinearity is considered, when stresses exceed the proportionality limit, the amount of deformations being limited. Shanley's concept is used. The critical state is determined by means of some limit dependences. In a large number of cases, when creating efficient highly-stressed constructions, limited plastic deformations are allowed in them. When analysing stability in the critical state, the calculated stresses turn out to exceed the proportionality limit and the Young's modulus of elasticity turns out to be greater than the tangent modulus corresponding to the calculated stress on the diagram “deformation-stress”. The objective of this work is to show that stability calculation beyond the proportionality limit is reduced to the analysis of some limit dependences as well as to develop a general solution algorithm for similar problems.
Darriwilian shallow-marine deposits from the Sultanate of Oman, a poorly known portion of the Arabian margin of Gondwana

Published: September 2016

AbstractThe Amdeh Formation is a 3.4 km stack of sparsely fossiliferous quartzites and shales which crops out in the Al Hajar mountains near Muscat. Here we describe the uppermost member (Am5) that can be dated biostratigraphically as Darriwilian and which is the outcrop equivalent, and probably the seaward continuation, of the Saih Nihayda Formation in the Ghaba Salt Basin of northern Oman. The outcrops at Wadi Daiqa and Hayl al Quwasim consist of 690 m of quartzitic sandstones, shales and bivalve-rich shell beds. Trace fossils referable to theCruzianaandSkolithosichnofacies abound. The member comprises storm-dominated shelf, shoreface and delta deposits. A number of new discoveries have been made in the outcrops: fragments of the arandaspid fishSacabambaspis, ossicles and moulds of the early disparid crinoidIocrinus, two new genera of conodont, an occurrence of the rare trinucleid trilobiteYinpanolithus, and palynological and sedimentological evidence of more continuous Floian–Darriwilian deposition than is usual in the region. Sea levels during Middle Ordovician time are estimated to have been 50–200 m above present levels and a wide, low-gradient shelf covered much of Arabia. Similar trace fossils and storm-dominated, micro-tidal, sedimentary rocks occur throughout the region. Small changes of sea level, possibly caused by the growth and melting of polar ice sheets, could lead to substantial seaward or landward shifts of facies belts. The Am5 deposits are thick compared to most equivalents in Arabia implying active subsidence and a ready supply of sediment.
In-group marker going out: Meaning-making in a community of practice
Authors: Strycharz-Banaś Anna 
Published: September 2016

AbstractThis study examines the linguistic aspects of the formation of a community of practice (CofP) and analyses one aspect of the common repertoire that is being actively developed within the community. On the one hand, it looks at the community itself, placing emphasis on the exact practices, beliefs, and resources that can identify a group brought together at times against their will, as a CofP. On the other, this research takes under scrutiny one specific linguistic variable (Japanese negation) to show how involvement in a CofP can bring about rapid and unexpected changes in the meaning and use of a linguistic variant.

Development of a four-channel haptic system for remote assessment of patients with impaired hands

Published: September 2016

SUMMARYHaptic devices have proven effective in stimulating proprioceptive sensing in post-stroke patients. In this work, pre-existing devices were used together in a remote environment for the teleassessment of impaired hands. A four-channel bilateral control system in the presence of large and variable time delay is proposed as a proof of concept. Time delay is managed with a novel communication disturbance observer (CDOB). The system also employed a scaling down compensation value (SDCV) for the CDOB. The proposed control system was tested successfully in bilateral haptic interaction, simulating a remote motor and functional evaluation of patients' hands, guaranteeing safe and stable interaction, even in the presence of large network delays.
