Probabilistic cost enforcement of security policies
Authors: Mallios Yannis , Bauer Lujo , Kaynar Dilsun , Martinelli Fabio , Morisset Charles 
Published: December 2015

This paper presents a formal framework for run-time enforcement mechanisms, or monitors, based on probabilistic input/output automata [Task-structured probabilistic I/O automata, Technical Report MIT-CSAIL-TR-2006-060, 2006; Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, 2006, pp. 207–214], which allows for the modeling of complex and interactive systems. We associate with each trace of a monitored system (i.e., a monitor interposed between a system and an environment) a probability and a real number that represents the cost that the actions appearing on the trace incur on the monitored system. This allows us to calculate the probabilistic (expected) cost of the monitor and the monitored system, which we use to classify monitors, not only in the typical sense, as sound and transparent [ ACM Transactions on Information and System Security 12(3) (2009), 1–41], but also at a more fine-grained level, as cost-optimal or cost-efficient. We show how a cost-optimal monitor can be built using information about cost and the probabilistic future behavior of the system and the environment, showing how deeper knowledge of a system can lead to construction of more efficient security mechanisms.

ABSTRACT
We report further results from the program of lunar occultation (LO) observations started at the 2.4 m Thai National Telescope (TNT) in 2014. We have recorded LO events of 18 stellar sources, leading to the detection of four angular diameters and two binary stars. With two exceptions, these are first-time determinations. We could resolve angular diameters as small as 2 milliarcseconds (mas) and projected separations as small as 4 mas. We discuss the individual results, in the context of previous observations, when available. The first-time angular diameters for o Psc, HR 6196 and 75 Leo are in good agreement with expected values, while that of π Leo agrees with the average of previous determinations but has a higher accuracy. We find a new secondary in o Psc, as previously suspected from Hipparcos data. We also obtain an accurate measurement of the companion in 31 Ari, revealing inconsistencies in the currently available orbital parameters. The TNT, equipped with the fast ULTRASPEC imager, is the leading facility in Southeast Asia for high time resolution observations. The LO technique at this telescope achieves a sensitivity of i′ ≈ 10 mag, with a potential to detect several hundreds of LO events per year.

ABSTRACT
We analyze the spatial distribution of dusty young stellar objects (YSOs) identified in the Spitzer Survey of the Orion Molecular clouds, augmenting these data with Chandra X-ray observations to correct for incompleteness in dense clustered regions. We also devise a scheme to correct for spatially varying incompleteness when X-ray data are not available. The local surface densities of the YSOs range from 1 pc−2 to over 10,000 pc−2, with protostars tending to be in higher density regions. This range of densities is similar to other surveyed molecular clouds with clusters, but broader than clouds without clusters. By identifying clusters and groups as continuous regions with surface densities ≥10 pc−2, we find that 59% of the YSOs are in the largest cluster, the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), while 13% of the YSOs are found in a distributed population. A lower fraction of protostars in the distributed population is evidence that it is somewhat older than the groups and clusters. An examination of the structural properties of the clusters and groups shows that the peak surface densities of the clusters increase approximately linearly with the number of members. Furthermore, all clusters with more than 70 members exhibit asymmetric and/or highly elongated structures. The ONC becomes azimuthally symmetric in the inner 0.1 pc, suggesting that the cluster is only ∼2 Myr in age. We find that the star formation efficiency (SFE) of the Orion B cloud is unusually low, and that the SFEs of individual groups and clusters are an order of magnitude higher than those of the clouds. Finally, we discuss the relationship between the young low mass stars in the Orion clouds and the Orion OB 1 association, and we determine upper limits to the fraction of disks that may be affected by UV radiation from OB stars or dynamical interactions in dense, clustered regions.

ABSTRACT
We present griz observations for the clusters M92, M13 and NGC 6791 and gr photometry for M71, Be 29 and NGC 7789. In addition we present new membership identifications for all these clusters, which have been observed spectroscopically as calibrators for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)/SEGUE survey; this paper focuses in particular on the red giant branch stars in the clusters. In a number of cases, these giants were too bright to be observed in the normal SDSS survey operations, and we describe the procedure used to obtain spectra for these stars. For M71, we also present a new variable reddening map and a new fiducial for the gr giant branch. For NGC 7789, we derived a transformation from T
eff to g–r for giants of near solar abundance, using IRFM T
eff measures of stars with good ugriz and 2MASS photometry and SEGUE spectra. The result of our analysis is a robust list of known cluster members with correctly dereddened and (if needed) transformed gr photometry for crucial calibration efforts for SDSS and SEGUE.

Dans cette conférence, Patrick Sadoun témoigne, avec émotion et subtilité, de l’insoutenable souffrance d’un parent devant son enfant autiste. Et de l’aide qu’il a pu recevoir. Depuis sa place de père, ainsi que depuis celle de président fondateur d’un Rassemblement d’associations de parents qu’il a créé, il plaide pour que les prises en charge proposées aux enfants souffrant de tsa – et à leurs familles ! – tiennent compte de la dimension de la souffrance psychique qui y est attachée. Il nous présente, enfin, la charte qu’il a écrite pour ce rassemblement, le raahp (Rassemblement pour une approche des autismes humaniste et plurielle).
Pédagogies critiques du bien commun dans une Europe en crise
Authors: Guisan Catherine 
Published: December 2015

Les dirigeants de l’Union européenne (UE) invoquent fréquemment la réconciliation comme un « bien commun » des Européens, tant et si bien que le terme réconciliation en est presque devenu un cliché. Mais les pratiques concrètes qui ont facilité l’établissement de la paix en Europe restent peu explorées. L’UE soutient des programmes d’enseignement sur l’histoire de l’intégration au niveau universitaire, et prône une mémoire basée sur la Shoah plutôt que les réconciliations d’après 1945, alors les États membres de l’Europe de l’Est insistent plutôt sur une mémoire collective qui prenne en compte leur expérience du stalinisme. En outres, les chercheurs ont négligé l’apport de la société civile aux réconciliations européennes de même qu’une analyse critique du contenu des témoignages des fondateurs. Cependant quelques jeunes universitaires, des enseignants du niveau secondaire et l’Office franco-allemand pour la Jeunesse se tournent vers le passé et ses témoins. Leurs démarches pédagogiques révèlent des pratiques et des idées qui pourraient aider à raviver une solidarité européenne propre à construire la paix aujourd’hui.

Published: December 2015

ABSTRACT
Background: Many thrombolytic studies showed that severe stroke was associated with death and having symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and inversely related to a favorable outcome. Aims: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients with acute large middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction with and without intravenous recombinant-tissue-plasminogen activator (rtPA) treatment. Methods: Patients with acute, large MCA infarction (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] >15) who were treated during 2011–2014 were studied. The demographic data and the outcomes were compared between patients with and without intravenous rtPA treatment. Results: Two hundred and forty patients were included. Mean NIHSS score was 20. One hundred and twenty patients were treated with intravenous rtPA treatment. The patients with rtPA treatment had higher rates of favorable outcomes (39% vs. 17%, P < 0.001) and lower mortality rate (16% vs. 51%, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (6% vs. 4%, P = 0.715). Conclusions: The study showed the benefit and safety of intravenous rtPA treatment in patients with acute large MCA infarct.

ABSTRACT
Background: Stroke is the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The number of stroke patients receiving recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), also known as Alteplase, in the developing world is extremely low. We aim to study the feasibility and efficacy of thrombolysis for the 1st time in our country. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study (July 2012-August 2015), acute ischemic stroke patients who were thrombolyzed within 3 h of stroke onset were included. Their demographic profiles, clinical profiles, risk factors, type of thrombolytic used, and outcomes were systematically recorded and analyzed. Results: A total of 9 patients were thrombolyzed. The mean time from the onset of stroke symptoms to first dose of rt-PA (onset to treatment) was 1.2 h. Six patients had good neurological outcome as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The median mRS at discharge was 3. Thrombolysis-related post treatment complication was noted in 44.4%, of which nonfatal intracranial bleed occurred only in 2 patients (22.2%). None of the patients receiving intravenous tenecteplase had thrombolysis-related complications, and none of the patients had fatal intracranial bleed. Conclusion: This study clearly demonstrates the beginning of a feasible and effective thrombolysis in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Nepal.
En bloc resection of a thoracic chordoma is possible using minimally invasive anterior access: An 8-year follow-up
Authors: Goomany Anand , Timothy Jake , Robson Craig , Rao Abhay 
Published: December 2015

ABSTRACTThoracic spine chordomas are a rare clinical entity and present several diagnostic and management challenges. Posterior debulking techniques are the traditional approach for the resection of thoracic tumors involving the vertebral body. Anterior approaches to the thoracic spine enable complete tumor resection and interbody fusion. However, this approach has previously required a thoracotomy incision, which is associated with significant perioperative morbidity, pain, and the potential for compromised ventilation and subsequent respiratory sequelae. The extreme lateral approach to the anterior spine has been used to treat degenerative disorders of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine, and reduces the potential complications compared with the anterior transperitoneal/transpleural approach. However, such an approach has not been utilized in the treatment of thoracic chordomas. We describe the first case of an en bloc resection of a thoracic chordoma via a minimally invasive eXtreme lateral interbody fusion approach.
Anatomic variation of the thoracic duct and absence of accessory hemiazygos and hemiazygos veins: case report

Published: December 2015

AbstractThe thoracic duct is a lymph vessel extending from the abdomen to the base of the neck where it drains to one of the large veins in the region. Many cases are described in the scientific literature, regarding anatomical variations of the thoracic duct, from its origin, path, until its end, and the vast majority intended to relate variations in the last part of the duct. The reports related to variations of its path are very scarce. In a male cadaver dissection in the anatomy laboratory of the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas of Minas Gerais (FCMMG), an anatomical variation of the position of the thoracic duct was found. The thoracic duct was presented to the left of the aorta and spine, from its entry in the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm and chest throughout its length. There were also anatomical variations of interest in the venous circulatory system, such as the absence of the veins: hemiazygos and accessory hemiazygos, and the different location of the azygos vein, which was located to the left of the aorta. These variations have no relation to each other. The study of this variation is important because the knowledge of variations in the thoracic duct path allows lower rates of trauma and iatrogenic lesions in thoracic surgery, with possible serious complications, such as a chylothorax.

Prueba de inmigración y márgenes legales del desencuentro. Políticas públicas, prácticas sociales y construcción de la persona
Authors: Devillard Marie José 
Published: December 2015

La redacción de las directrices y los procedimientos administrativos que hacen virtualmente posible la inmigración, contribuye a construir no sólo los itinerarios sino también el imaginario social sobre la alteridad. El principal objetivo del artículo es poner de relieve –mediante el análisis discursivo de las Hojas informativas publicadas en la WEB del Ministerio de Empleo y Seguridad Social- cómo la construcción social del emigrante/inmigrante y el proyecto migratorio topan con unas representaciones y envites, instituidos y refrendados en y por la propia formulación de la reglamentación, pero no del todo explícitos. Entendiendo el texto como una acción que genera otras acciones, se examinan las consecuencias que tiene sobre la practica social de los inmigrantes. En suma, se trata de vislumbrar los elementos (terminología, fórmulas, esquemas y prácticas inducidas) que van constituyendo al inmigrante como agente social subordinado a micro-procesos y relaciones que se le escapan en gran parte (en contra de las apariencias que parecieran sugerir lo contrario) y van marcando su propia capacidad de acción. En conclusión y retomando la distinción entre principio de diferencia y principio de indiferencia sugerida por Foucault, se muestra que mientras el primero rige las clausulas generales, el segundo articula las específicas.
Compression-dependency of soft tissue bioimpedance for in-vivo and in-vitro tissue testing
Authors: Moqadam Sepideh M. , Grewal Parvind , Shokoufi Majid , Golnaraghi Farid 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The present study determines the effect of compression over bioimpedance of healthy soft tissue (in-vitro and in-vivo). Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a promising tissue characterization and tumor detection technique that uses tissue impedance or admittance to characterize tissue and identify tissue properties as well as cell structure. Variation in EIS measurements while applying pressure suggests that compression tends to affect soft tissue bioimpedance. Moreover, the displacements in tissue caused by applied compression may provide useful information about the structure and state of the tissue. Thus combining the changes to the electrical properties of tissue resulted by applied compression, with the changes in tissue displacements caused by applied compression, and consequently measuring the effect that electrical and mechanical properties have on each other, can be useful to identify tissue structure. In this study, multifrequency bioimpedance measurements were performed on in-vitro and in-vivo soft tissue at different pressure levels. Increasing compression on the in-vitro tissue results in an increase in both extracellular resistance and membrane capacitance while it causes a reduction in the intracellular resistance. However, as the compression over the in-vivo samples increases, the intracellular and extracellular resistance increase and the membrane capacitance decreases. The in-vivo measurements on human body are also tested on contra-lateral tissue sites and similar tissue impedance variation trends are observed in the contra-lateral sites of human body. The evidence from these tests suggests the possibility of using this EIS-Pressure combined measurement method to improve tumor detection in soft tissue. Based upon the observations, the authors envision developing an advanced model based upon the Cole model, which is dependent on tissue displacements.
