On the Key-Commitment Properties of Forkcipher-based AEADs
Authors: Rahman Mostafizar , Kundu Samir , Isobe Takanori 
Published: January 2025

Forkcipher-based AEADs have emerged as lightweight and efficient cryptographic modes, making them suitable for resource-constrained environments such as IoT devices and distributed decryption through MPC. These schemes, including prominent examples like Eevee (Jolteon, Espeon, and Umbreon), PAEF, RPAEF, and SAEF, leverage the properties of forkciphers to achieve enhanced performance. However, their security in terms of key commitment, a critical property for certain applications such as secure cloud services, as highlighted by Albertini et al. (USENIX 2022), has not been comprehensively analyzed until now.
In this work, we analyze the key-commitment properties of forkcipher-based AEADs. We found that some of the forkcipher-based AEAD schemes lack key-commitment properties, primarily due to the distinctive manner in which they process associated data and plaintext. For two different keys and the same nonce, an adversary can identify associated data and plaintext blocks that produce identical ciphertext-tags with a complexity of

. Our findings apply to various forkcipher-based AEADs, including Eevee, PAEF, and SAEF, and naturally extend to less strict frameworks, such as CMT-1 and CMT-4.
These findings highlight a significant limitation in the robustness of forkcipher-based AEADs. While these modes are attractive for their lightweight design and efficiency, their deployment should be restricted in scenarios where explicit robustness or key-commitment security is required.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Quantumness
Authors: Phan Duong , Wen Weiqiang , Yan Xingyu , Zheng Jinwei 
Published: January 2025

With the rapid development of quantum computers, proofs of quantumness have recently become an interesting and intriguing research direction. However, in all current schemes for proofs of quantumness, quantum provers almost invariably face the risk of being maliciously exploited by classical verifiers. In fact, through malicious strategies in interaction with quantum provers, classical verifiers could solve some instances of hard problems that arise from the specific scheme in use. In other words, malicious verifiers can break some schemes (that quantum provers are not aware of) through interaction with quantum provers. All this is due to the lack of formalization that prevents malicious verifiers from extracting useful information in proofs of quantumness.
To address this issue, we formalize zero-knowledge proofs of quantumness. Intuitively, the zero-knowledge property necessitates that the information gained by the classical verifier from interactions with the quantum prover should not surpass what can be simulated using a simulated classical prover interacting with the same verifier. As a result, the new zero-knowledge notion can prevent any malicious verifier from exploiting quantum advantage. Interestingly, we find that the classical zero-knowledge proof is sufficient to compile some existing proofs of quantumness schemes into zero-knowledge proofs of quantumness schemes.
Due to some technical reason, it appears to be more general to require zero-knowledge proof on the verifier side instead of the prover side. Intuitively, this helps to regulate the verifier's behavior from malicious to be honest-but-curious. As a result, both parties will play not only one role in the proofs of quantumness but also the dual role in the classical zero-knowledge proof.
Specifically, the two principle proofs of quantumness schemes: Shor's factoring-based scheme and learning with errors-based scheme in [Brakerski et al, FOCS, 2018], can be transformed into zero-knowledge proofs of quantumness by requiring an extractable non-interactive zero-knowledge argument on the verifier side. Notably, the zero-knowledge proofs of quantumness can be viewed as an enhanced security notion for proofs of quantumness. To prevent malicious verifiers from exploiting the quantum device's capabilities or knowledge, it is advisable to transition existing proofs of quantumness schemes to this framework whenever feasible.

Published: January 2025

Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery are common treatments for breast cancer. These approaches, however, could only improve the odds of surviving. Using herbal medicines like crocin is now necessary to improve cancer treatment, particularly for breast cancer. According to research, crocin inhibits the growth of cancerous cells while having no effect on the development of healthy cells. By eating this substance, the side effects of cancer chemotherapy are also reduced. Thus, this review delves into the effects of crocin on breast cancer, encompassing anti-angiogenesis, drug synergism, proliferation, and inflammation. Crocin decreases the expression of CD34 in tumor tissues, leading to anti-angiogenesis. Furthermore, the anti-angiogenic effect of crocin can hinder vascular endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tubule formation in vitro, as well as tumor cell proliferation and reduction in microvascular density in vivo. Also, crocin increases the sensitivity of PTX in breast cancer cell lines.

Mieszkańcy Ostrołęki w latach 1950-1960 i ich warunki mieszkaniowe
Authors: Rakowski Witold 
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the article is to characterize the residents of peripheral town in the initial stage of industrialization, i.e. in 1960 against the background of 1950. The characterization of the residents was made possible thanks to the statistical database derived from population censuses.
Research results: between 1946 and 1960, Ostrołęka's population increased from 10409 to 15206. During this period, employment grew faster than the number of residents, particularly in industry, contributing to an increase in professional activity from 35.9% in 1950 to 37.7% in 1960. There was also a decrease in the burden on 100 working individuals by those they supported. During these 10 years, there was a change in the structure of employment. In 1950, only 9.8% of those professionally active worked in the “industry” sector, whereas in 1960 it was 33,4%. The living conditions of residents improved. While in 1950 only 56% of homes had electricity, in 1960 it was 91.9%. There was also an increase in the percentage of residents with access to water supply systems from 4.2% to 25%, and those with sanitary facilities from 2.8% to 20%. The development of housing construction contributed to a change in the structure of housing resources and a decrease of in their density from 1.85 in 1950 to 1.46 persons per room in 1960.
Conclusions: 1.The initiated process of the industrialization of the city contributed to an increase in jobs, an increase in population, the development of infrastructure and housing, and a marked improvement in the living conditions of the population. 2. The society of Ostrołęka in 1960 was young, as a result of nationwide demographic processes. The high proportion of children in the total population contributed to relatively low professional activity among women and, at the same time, to a high burden on working individuals by their dependents, which in turn delayed the improvement of the population’s living conditions.

Published: January 2025

Le dernier jour du printemps ("آخر يوم في الربيع", 2018) est une pièce monologuée écrite et interprétée par Fidaa Zidan (فداء زيدان, née en 1989) créée en juillet 2018 au Théâtre National Palestinien/El-Hakawati à Jérusalem. La pièce raconte à la première personne du singulier l’histoire d’une jeune fille d’un village druze de la Galilée qui se retrouve seule avec ses parents après la mort de son frère durant son service militaire dans l’armée israélienne, obligatoire pour les hommes de la communauté druze en Israël depuis 1956, et qui était enterré dans un cimetière militaire. La sœur veut réaliser le vœu de ses parents que la famille soit réunie dans le même caveau sur leur terrain et offrir ainsi une sépulture à son frère. Inspirée de son histoire personnelle et de témoignages collectés par Fidaa Zidan, la pièce fait connaître une réalité palestinienne peu connue et donne la voix à des oubliés du conflit israélo-palestinien et des victimes d’une identité déchirée.

Published: January 2025

Concrete is the most commonly used construction material around the world. As the compression strength of concrete goes up, the brittleness of the concrete matrix increases, hence terming it as a quasi-brittle material. This issue can be solved by the addition of steel fibers in the concrete mixture, which improve the post-peak load carrying mechanism of the concrete. Hence it becomes important to find the compressive strength of such improved concrete composites. In this study, a comprehensive dataset was developed by combining the findings from 17 research papers, which consisted of 8 participation variables, and compressive strength as the output variable. Three machine learning models were developed, i.e., Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest (RF). It was observed that ANN model exhibited the highest value of R2 among the three models, i.e., R2=0.9941. To check the issue of overfitting in the best performing model, K-Fold Cross Validation technique was applied with five folds, which returned the average value of R2 as 0.9665, so validating the efficacy of the ANN model. In the last step, predictive equations were derived for the compressive strength calculation, as they eliminate the need for the model’s foundation file and hence enhance the significance of the research project.
PENERAPAN ASAS TRANSITOIR ATAU ASAS LEX FAVOR REO PADA PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA YANG DIVONIS PIDANA MATI SAAT PERALIHAN KUHP
Authors: Nurdin Mochamad Febrian 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
At the beginning of 2023, Indonesia officially passed its new Criminal Code, namely Law No. 01 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Although this New Criminal Code has been passed in January 2023, this New Criminal Code does not immediately take effect, but is valid from 3 years after its promulgation, so that everyone knows about it (Article 624 of the New Criminal Code). At the time the new penal code was passed, it was a coincidence that Indonesia was in the midst of a major case involving a former police general who was sentenced to death in a court of first instance. So that raises questions among the public about whether the New Criminal Code can be an obstacle to the execution of death row criminals. Because of this, the author takes the formulation of the problem: 1) What is the difference from the Transitoir Principle or the Lex Favor Reo Principle in the Old Criminal Code and the New Criminal Code? 2) What is the juridical analysis of criminal offenders sentenced to death during the transition process from the old Criminal Code to the new Criminal Code? This research uses normative juridical, with a statutory approach.
Keywords: Transitoir Principle, Lex Favor Reo Principle, Death Penalty, New Criminal Code.

ABSTRAK
Pada awal bulan 2023 kemarin, Indonesia secara resmi mengsahkan KUHP nya yang baru yakni UU No. 01 Tahun 2023 Tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana. Meskipun KUHP Baru ini telah disahkan pada Januari 2023, akan tetapi KUHP Baru ini tidak serta merta langsung berlaku, akan tetapi berlaku terhitung sejak 3 tahun setelah diundangkannya, agar setiap orang mengetahuinya (Pasal 624 KUHP Baru). Pada saat KUHP Baru ini disahkan, merupakan suatu kebetulan di Indonesia sedang dilanda kasus besar yang melibatkan mantan jendral polisi yang divonis pidana mati pada pengadilan tingkat pertama. Sehingga hal tersebut menimbulkan pertanyaan dikalangan masyarakat tentang apakah KUHP Baru bisa menjadi penghalang bagi eksekusi pidana mati pelaku tindak pidana. Karena hal tersebut maka penulis mengambil rumusan masalah: 1) Apa Perbedaan Dari Asas Transitoir atau Asas Lex Favor Reo Yang Ada Pada KUHP Lama dan KUHP Baru? 2) Bagaimana Analisis Yuridis Terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Yang Divonis Pidana Mati Pada Saat Proses Peralihan dari KUHP Lama ke KUHP Baru? Penelitian ini menggunakan yuridis normatif, dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan.
Kata kunci: Asas Transitoir, Asas Lex Favor Reo, Pidana Mati, KUHP Baru.
HUKUMAN MATI BAGI BANDAR NARKOTIKA DALAM PERSFEKTIF HUKUM DAN HAM
Authors: Pratama Widhy Andrian , Adis Adis Nevi Yuliani 
Published: January 2025

Artikel ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Normatif, artinya meneliti secara doktrinal dengan literatur dan buku-buku dari segi perspektif normatif hukum, yang berguna memberikan pengetahuan tambahan tentang informasi, dan gambaran umum mengenai apa yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini. Dari penelitian ini dapat kita simpulkan bahwa hukuman mati bagi bandar narkotika merupakan suatu langkah yang terbaik dari penegakan hukum, disebabkan tanpa adanya suatu pengendalian dan pengawasan yang extra ketat, maka penyalahgunaan peredaran narkotika yang dilakukan oleh bandar-bandar akan merugikan dan menimbulkan bahaya yang sangat besar bagi kehidupan berbangsa, dan bernegara. Dan hendaknya pemerintah melakukan upaya pencegahan penyalahgunaan dan peredaran narkotika dengan melakukan sosialisasi tentang narkotika ke masyarakat, karena potensi penyalahgunaan dan peredaran narkotika merupakan ancaman nyata yang perlu segera di berantas.
Insecticides may facilitate the escape of weeds from biological control

Published: January 2025

Background
Preventative pesticide seed treatments (hereafter preventative pest management or PPM) are common corn and soybean treatments, and often include both fungicides and neonicotinoid insecticides. While PPM is intended to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens and early season insect pests, these seed treatments may have detrimental effects on biological control of weed seeds by insects.

Methods
Here, in two 3-year corn-soy rotations in Pennsylvania USA, we investigated a PPM approach to insect management compared to an integrated pest management approach (IPM) and a “no (insect) pest management” (NPM) control. This was crossed with a grass cover crop to see if this conservation practice can help recover the ecosystem services affected by chemical pest management practices. We hypothesized that PPM and IPM approaches would release weed seeds from biological control by insects but cover crops would increase biological control. We measured the effect of these treatments on the weed-seed bank, mid-season weed biomass, granivorous insect activity-density, and weed-seed predation.

Results
We found that, contrary to our hypothesis, planting a cover crop decreased carabid activity-density without consistent differences in weed-seed predation. Pest management and cover crop treatments also had inconsistent effects on the weed-seed bank and mid-season weed biomass, but insecticide use without a cover crop increased the biomass of likely glyphosate-resistant marestail (Erigeron canadensis L.) at the end of the trial. Our results suggest that reducing insecticide use may be important when combating herbicide-resistant weeds. We found planting cover crops and/or avoiding the use of insecticides may combat these problematic weeds.

Authors: Andaish Qiamuddin , Assadi Sakhibaksh 
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the relationship between Afghanistan’s tourism industry and its economic growth. We utilized the ARDL model with structural breaks and time series data spanning from 2008 to 2020, the result reveals that both tourism expenditure and revenue significantly affect Afghanistan’s economic growth, in both long and short periods. Particularly, a unit rise in international tourism expenditure leads to a 0.692 unit increase in economic growth, meanwhile, a unit rise in global tourism revenue leads to a 0.125 unit increase in economic growth. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers to enhance tourism development and allocate resources effectively. It also encourages domestic and foreign investment by showcasing tourism's economic potential. Additionally, local communities, particularly in areas like Bamyan and the Wakhan Corridor, can leverage opportunities in hospitality, handicrafts, and cultural tourism.

Introduction: Lannea welwitschii is a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine to treat various infectious diseases due to its plethora of bioactive compounds that possess various pharmacological activities. This study aimed to characterize and determine the phytochemical profile and the bioactive compounds responsible for their pharmacological activities.
Methods: Phytochemical screening and Gas-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis were carried out on the ethanolic extract of L. welwitschii to determine the volatile compounds present. Characterization of the crude extract was carried out using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The antioxidant potential of the extract was evaluated using methods such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric-reducing antioxidant Potential (FRAP). The antibacterial activities were determined using the macro-broth dilution technique.
Results: Secondary metabolites such as saponins, tannins, alkaloids, reducing sugars, and cardiac glycoside were identified. The GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 48 bioactive compounds, out of which 12 had peak area percentages ≥ 1%. Some of the bioactive compounds identified include 2-butoxy-ethanol, Dodecanoic acid, Stigmasterol, Isopropenyl, and n-hexadecanoic acid, which have been reported with different biological activities. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of various functional groups which showed major compounds in the plant extract. The morphological features showed the spherical shape of the plant extract with several aggregates, while the EDX analysis identified elements such as silicon, oxygen, and silver. The extract demonstrated inhibitory potential against some of the bacterial isolates. However, Bacillus pumilus, Klebsiella quasipneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus are more susceptible with MIC of 0.313 and 0.625 mg/ml respectively.
Conclusion: The presence of secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds revealed by the characterization and phytochemical analysis provided enough evidence for the usage of the plant in the treatment of infectious diseases and thus might be considered a therapeutic agent.

Schizothorax esocinus, commonly known as Chirruh, is an important indigenous coldwater fish of the Kashmir. The new cell line was developed from the liver tissue of Schizothorax esocinus, and was characterized by molecular technique. The developed cell line was maintained and passaged 14 times in Leibovitz’s L-15 medium. The cell line was standardized using L-15 media by testing at various FBS (fetal bovine serum) concentrations and temperature ranges. Cell numbers increased more rapidly in 20% FBS, compared to other concentrations ranging from 5% to 25%. The tissue got fully adhered after 72hrs when seeded at 24°C as compared to other temperatures ranging from 8 to 28°C. The tissue preparation approach was more reliable than the enzymatic dissociation approach. Cell colonies of various sizes were formed after 1 week and 60-70% confluent cell monolayer were achieved after 20 days. The cell morphology was found to be of epithelial-like cells. The origin of the cell line was confirmed at passage 12 by the amplification of 629 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) similar to the original liver issue. The current cell line developed from liver tissue of S. esocinus has tremendous potential to enhance the generation of cold-water fish cell lines could and potentially be used as a important approach for conservation genetics and biotechnological applications.
MASCULINISMO E MISOGINIA NO PROGRAMA JOVEM PAN MORNING SHOW

Published: January 2025

O artigo visa a problematizar como discursos misóginos e machistas se disseminam a partir de movimentos do masculinismo, como a Red Pill. Parte-se do conceito de gênero (Scott, 1995) e de violência simbólica (Bourdieu, 2002), com enfoque na história da sexualidade (Foucault, 1988). Discute-se, ainda, um prelúdio sobre o conceito de masculinidade (Nolasco, 2001; Connel e Messerschmidt, 2013). Pretende-se recorrer à perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Análise de Conteúdo (Bardin, 2011) para tentar identificar o discurso misógino e sexista usado por Thiago Schutz na busca por deslegitimar a autonomia das mulheres, no programa Jovem Pan Morning Show. O texto identifica que discursos masculinistas, como os do influenciador digital Thiago Schutz, podem incitar ódio e violência contra mulheres e perpetuar estereótipos de gênero.
