Quantum Cryptography: Mathematical Foundations and Practical Applications for Secure Communication Protocols
Authors: Shilpa Shinde  
Published: June 2024

Quantum cryptography is a new and exciting area that uses quantum physics to protect communication lines from being spied on or intercepted. Fundamental ideas in this field, like the uncertainty principle and the fact of quantum entanglement, are used to achieve levels of security that have never been seen before. Our in-depth study, "Quantum Cryptography: Mathematical Foundations and Practical Applications for Secure Communication Protocols," looks at both the math behind quantum cryptographic protocols and how they are used in the real world. Our study goes into great detail about the theories behind quantum cryptography. It explains ideas like quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum teleportation, and quantum secure direct communication (QSDC). One of the main ideas behind quantum cryptography is the idea of qubits, which are like regular bits but in quantum mechanics. They can be in more than one state at the same time because of superposition. Quantum cryptographic methods use this property to make sure communication is safe by putting data in quantum states and taking advantage of the fact that quantum measures are inherently unpredictable. The study we're doing looks at how to use quantum cryptography in typical everyday situations. We look at the problems that come up when you try to build infrastructure for quantum transmission, such as noise, decoherence, and scale. We make a plan for making strong and trustworthy quantum cryptographic systems by giving details about how experiments are set up and how technology is improving. Our study looks into how quantum cryptography could be used for things other than just keeping communications safe. We look into what it means for new technologies like quantum networks, quantum computing, and safe multi-party processing. We hope that by explaining the bigger effects of quantum cryptography, we can encourage more study and new ideas in this ground-breaking area.

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of using several type of botanical insecticides and types of botanical insecticides that are more effective against rice weevil pests (Sitophilus oryzae L.) on siam rice. The method used in this research was the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method which consisted of 6 treatments, each of which was repeated 4 times so that there were 24 experimental units. The treatment is a type of botanical insecticide consisting of P0 = Control (no botanical insecticide), P1 = 7.5 g of breadfruit leaf flour, P2 = 7.5 g of guava leaf flour, P3 = 7.5 g of noni leaf flour, 5 g, P4 = 7.5 g kaffir lime leaf flour and P5 = 7.5 g papaya leaf flour. The results of the research showed that several types of botanical insecticides used, namely breadfruit leaves, guava, noni and papaya, were not effective in controlling rice weevil pests (≤50%) but had the ability to reduce mortality, efficacy and speed of death of rice weevil pests (Sitophilus oryzae L.) and loss of rice weight. The most effective type of botanical insecticide in controlling the rice weevil pest (Sitophilus oryzae L.) is kaffir lime leaves with efficacy and mortality values ​​of 68.75%, pest death rate of 0.69% and rice weight loss percentage 0%.

BACKGROUND
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare and aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphoma with historically dismal outcomes, representing less than one percent of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Given its rarity, the true incidence of HSTCL is unknown and most data have been extrapolated through case reports. To the best of our knowledge, the largest and most up to date study addressing the epidemiology and outcomes of patients with HSTCL in the United States covered a period from 1996 to 2014, with a sample size of 122 patients.
AIM
To paint the most updated epidemiological picture of HSTCL.
METHODS
A total of 186 patients diagnosed with HSTCL, between 2000 and 2017, were ultimately enrolled in our study by retrieving data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. We analyzed demographics, clinical characteristics, and overall mortality (OM) as well as cancer-specific mortality (CSM) of HSTCL. Variables with a P value < 0.01 in the univariate Cox regression were incorporated into the multivariate Cox model to determine the independent prognostic factors, with a hazard ratio of greater than 1 representing adverse prognostic factors.
RESULTS
Male gender was the most represented. HSTCL was most common in middle-aged patients (40-59) and less common in the elderly (80+). Non-Hispanic whites (60.75%) and non-Hispanic blacks (20.97%) were the most represented racial groups. Univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis of factors influencing all-cause mortality showed a higher OM among non-Hispanic black patients. CSM was also higher among non-Hispanic blacks and patients with distant metastasis. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis of factors affecting CSM revealed higher mortality in patients aged 80 or older and non-Hispanic blacks.
CONCLUSION
Overall, the outlook for this rare malignancy is very grim. In this retrospective cohort study of the United States population, non-Hispanic blacks and the elderly had a higher CSM. This data highlights the need for larger prospective studies to investigate factors associated with worse prognosis in one ethnic group, such as treatment delays, which have been shown to increase mortality in this racial/ethnic group for other cancers.
Tankyrase 2 promotes lung cancer cell malignancy
Authors: Wang Ying , Zhang Yong-Jun 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2) is a potential candidate molecular target for the prognosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its biological functions are unclear.
AIM
To investigate the biological functions of TNKS2 in NSCLC.
METHODS
Using a lentiviral vector, we generated H647 model cells with TNKS2 knockdown by RNA interference and A549 model cells with TNKS2 overexpression by transfection with a TNKS2 overexpressing plasmid. Increased and decreased expression levels of TNKS2 in the two cell lines were verified using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses. Cell apoptosis, proliferation, and migration were determined using flow cytometry, carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester staining, and scratch assay, respectively. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to examine TNKS2 and β-catenin expression levels in the two transfected cell lines and the non-transfected cells.
RESULTS
TNKS2 mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in the highly malignant NCI-H647 cells, while it remained at a low level in the less malignant A549 cells. Lentivirus-mediated overexpression of TNKS2 in A549 cells resulted in a 3-fold increase in gene expression and a 1.7-fold increase in protein expression (P < 0.01). Conversely, shRNA interference targeting TNKS2 Led to an 8-fold decrease in gene expression and a 3-fold decrease in protein expression (P < 0.01) in NCI-H647 cells. Furthermore, the cell apoptosis rate was significantly reduced (50%) and cell migration rate was increased (35%) in the TNKS2 overexpression group than in the control group (P < 0.05). In contrast, shTNKS2 promoted apoptosis by more than one fold and reduced migration by 60% (P < 0.05). Immunofluorescence analysis revealed enhanced nuclear localization of β-catenin fluorescence signal associated with high TNKS2 expression levels. Western blot analysis investigating TNKS2/β-catenin-related proteins indicated consistent changes between TNKS2 and β-catenin expression in lung cancer cells, whereas Axin displayed an opposite trend (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The obtained results revealed that TNKS2 may serve as an adverse prognostic factor and a potential therapeutic target in NSCLC.
A disaggregated analysis of business investment since the outbreak of the pandemic
Authors: González-Simón Miguel Ángel , Jiménez-García Blanca , Martínez-Carrascal Carmen 
Published: June 2024

Rationale
Business investment in Spain has proven considerably weak in recent years and is still below pre-pandemic levels. This article analyses investment dynamics in Spain until 2022 drawing on firm-level data from the Banco de España Central Balance Sheet Data Office.
Takeaways
•The disaggregated data from the Central Balance Sheet Data Office can be used to identify the characteristics of the firms that adjusted their investment patterns the most from the outbreak of the pandemic until 2022.
•In this period, firms’ investment decisions became more sensitive to their economic situation (proxied here by their sales and cash flow).
•Conversely, the link between firms’ investment decisions and financial position (proxied here by their debt level and debt burden) remained unchanged.
•Investment by young firms proved particularly weak in the period analysed, and this led to a narrowing of the positive gap between their investment drive and that of other firms.

The objective of the present study is to verify the size of placentomes, through ultrasonography, at different gestational ages in Bos indicus x Bos taurus crosses located in the tropics.Placentome size in cows can vary in response to many factors, including crossbreeding. Placentome measurents were taken by averaging the length and width of the placentome.We measured placentome size at different gestational ages in Bos taurus x Bos indicus cows raised in the tropics. Uteruses were collected immediately after slaughter from 102 cows with gestations ≥ 30 days and processed in the abattoir. All cows were Swiss Brown x Zebu phenotypes. Fetus gestational age was estimated by measuring from the crown to the tail base. Five placentomes were randomly chosen from each uterus (n= 510), and diameter (cm) measured for each. Gestational age was classified into nine categories (days): a) ≤45, b) >45 ≤60, c) >60 ≤90, d) >90 ≤120, e) >120 ≤150, f) >150 ≤180, g) >180 ≤210, h) >210 ≤240 and i) >240. Placentome size data was grouped by these categories. Descriptive statistics were generated for diameter for each gestational age category. All statistical analyses were run with the SAS program (2013). In all nine categories, placentome size was larger than reported for Bos taurus cows and smaller than reported in Bos indicus cows. In conclusion, placentome size in the sampled Bos taurus x Bos indicus cows was intermediate between that of the two source breeds. This confirms that existing reference tables for Bos taurus and Bos indicus purebreds are not accurate for crossbreeds.
IL PAESAGGIO LINGUISTICO NELLE SCUOLE MULTIETNICHE DI MILANO: UNA RICERCA E UN PROGETTO DIDATTICO
Authors: Uberti-Bona Marcella 
Published: June 2024

Nei contesti multiculturali e plurilingui il paesaggio linguistico consente di cogliere alcune dinamiche sociali quali i processi di integrazione/rivendicazione delle comunitá migranti e i discorsi e gli atteggiamenti, anche impliciti, espressi dalla società di accoglienza verso le loro lingue e culture. Nelle scuole, la didattica quotidiana riflette questa dialettica nel Paesaggio Linguistico (PL) della scuola stessa, mentre lo studio del PL a scuola può incidere su comportamenti e atteggiamenti relativi alle lingue presenti, legittimandole o valorizzandole. Il presente capitolo intende ripercorrere fasi ed esiti di una ricerca e di un progetto didattico pilota sul PL plurilingue svolto in tre istituti comprensivi milanesi selezionati per l’alto tasso di alunni stranieri. La raccolta fotografica e l’analisi del PL scolastico ha permesso di identificare le pratiche e le ideologie prevalenti rispetto alle numerose lingue parlate dagli alunni stranieri. La realizzazione del progetto pilota ha invece sfruttato lo studio del PL del quartiere intorno alla scuola, ben conosciuto dai bambini, per sviluppare negli alunni una maggiore consapevolezza linguistica e per valorizzare il plurilinguismo che caratterizza la comunità scolastica nel suo insieme.
The linguistic landscape in Milan’s multi-ethnic schools: a research and teaching project
In multicultural and multilingual contexts, the Linguistic Landscape allows us to grasp certain social dynamics such as the integration/revendication processes of migrant communities and the discourses and attitudes, even implicit, expressed by the host society towards the languages and cultures of these communities. In schools, everyday didactics reflect this dialectic in the Language Landscape (PL) of the school itself, while the study of PL at school can affect behaviours and attitudes related to the languages present, legitimising or valorising them. This chapter intends to retrace the phases and outcomes of a research and a pilot teaching project on multilingual schoolscape carried out in three Milanese comprehensive schools (with children from 3 to 13 years old) selected for their high rate of foreign pupils. The photographic collection and the analysis of the schools’ multilingual PL made it possible to identify the practices and ideologies prevailing with respect to the numerous languages spoken by foreign pupils. The implementation of the pilot project, on the other hand, used the study of the PL of the neighbourhood around the school, which is well known by the children, to develop in the pupils a greater linguistic awareness and to valorise the multilingualism that characterises the school community as a whole.

Published: June 2024

Questo contributo offre una nuova esplorazione del paesaggio linguistico (PL) milanese, che si propone di approfondire le rilevazioni finora raccolte nel database Paesaggi & Lingua, con un focus sulla lingua araba nella zona circostante via Padova. La creazione di un archivio fotografico e l’analisi qualitativa di alcune unità aggiornate alla situazione post-pandemica consente di individuare i contesti in cui la presenza dell’arabo è particolarmente rilevante, come i servizi al cittadino, le attività commerciali e le comunicazioni informali. Il contributo avanza un’ipotesi sulla flessibilità delle categorie classificatorie del PL, propone una nuova tipologia di frame e discute la molteplicità delle strategie linguistiche e semiotiche usate in questi ambiti e volte a negoziare l’identità nello spazio, aprendo la strada a future prospettive di ricerca.

Arabic in the Milanese linguistic landscape: perspectives and contexts

This paper offers a new exploration of the linguistic landscape (LL) of Milan, aiming to expand on the materials collected so far in the Paesaggi & Lingua database, by focusing on the Arabic language in the area surrounding via Padova. The creation of a photographic archive and the qualitative analysis of some units as they are found in the post-pandemic period allow to identify the contexts in which the presence of the Arabic language is particularly important, such as services for citizenship, commercial activities, and informal communications. This paper prompts the flexibility of LL classification categories, introduces a new type of frame, and discusses the multiplicity of linguistic and semiotic strategies used in such activities, which are aimed at negotiating identity in space. In this way, this paper aims to pave the way for future research perspectives.

Equality of different definitions of conformal dimension for quasiself-similar and CLP spaces
Authors: Eriksson-Bique Sylvester 
Published: June 2024

We prove that for a quasiself-similar and arcwise connected compact metric space all three known versions of the conformal dimension coincide: the conformal Hausdorff dimension, conformal Assouad dimension and Ahlfors regular conformal dimension. This answers a question posed by Murugan. Quasisimilar spaces include all approximately self-similar spaces. As an example, the standard Sierpiński carpet is quasiself-similar and thus the three notions of conformal dimension coincide for it.

We also give the equality of the three dimensions for combinatorially p-Loewner (CLP) spaces. Both proofs involve using a new notion of combinatorial modulus, which lies between two notions of modulus that have appeared in the literature. The first of these is the modulus studied by Pansu and Tyson, which uses a Carathéodory construction. The second is the one used by Keith and Laakso (and later modified and used by Bourdon, Kleiner, Carrasco-Piaggio, Murugan and Shanmugalingam). By combining these approaches, we gain the flexibility of giving upper bounds for the new modulus from the Pansu–Tyson approach, and the ability of getting lower bounds using the Keith–Laakso approach. Additionally the new modulus can be iterated in self-similar spaces, which is a crucial, and novel, step in our argument.
