emote Attestation Protocol
Authors: Mondal Anupam , Gangopadhyay Shreya , Chatterjee Durba , Boyapally Harishma , Mukhopadhyay Debdeep 
Published: September 2023

Remote attestation is a request-response based security service that permits a trusted entity (verifier) to check the current state of an untrusted remote device (prover). The verifier initiates the attestation process by sending an attestation challenge to the prover; the prover responds with its current state, which establishes its trustworthiness. Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) offers an attractive choice for hybrid attestation schemes owing to its low overhead security guarantees. However, this comes with the limitation of secure storage of the PUF model or large challenge-response database on the verifier end. To address these issues, in this work, we propose a hybrid attestation framework, named
PReFeR
, that leverages a new class of hardware primitive known as Physically Related Function (PReF) to remotely attest low-end devices without the requirement of secure storage or heavy cryptographic operations. It comprises a static attestation scheme that validates the memory state of the remote device prior to code execution, followed by a dynamic run-time attestation scheme that asserts the correct code execution by evaluating the content of special registers present in embedded systems, known as hardware performance counters (HPC). The use of HPCs in the dynamic attestation scheme mitigates the popular class of attack known as the time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) attack, which has broken several state-of-the-art hybrid attestation schemes. We demonstrate our protocol and present our experimental results using a prototype implementation on Digilent Cora Z7 board, a low-cost embedded platform, specially designed for IoT applications.
CIM: A Novel Clustering-based Energy-Efficient Data Imputation Method for Human Activity Recognition
Authors: Hussein Dina , Bhat Ganapati 
Published: September 2023

Human activity recognition (HAR) is an important component in a number of health applications, including rehabilitation, Parkinson’s disease, daily activity monitoring, and fitness monitoring. State-of-the-art HAR approaches use multiple sensors on the body to accurately identify activities at runtime. These approaches typically assume that data from all sensors are available for runtime activity recognition. However, data from one or more sensors may be unavailable due to malfunction, energy constraints, or communication challenges between the sensors. Missing data can lead to significant degradation in the accuracy, thus affecting quality of service to users. A common approach for handling missing data is to train classifiers or sensor data recovery algorithms for each combination of missing sensors. However, this results in significant memory and energy overhead on resource-constrained wearable devices. In strong contrast to prior approaches, this paper presents a clustering-based approach (CIM) to impute missing data at runtime. We first define a set of possible clusters and representative data patterns for each sensor in HAR. Then, we create and store a mapping between clusters across sensors. At runtime, when data from a sensor are missing, we utilize the stored mapping table to obtain most likely cluster for the missing sensor. The representative window for the identified cluster is then used as imputation to perform activity classification. We also provide a method to obtain imputation-aware activity prediction sets to handle uncertainty in data when using imputation. Experiments on three HAR datasets show that CIM achieves accuracy within 10% of a baseline without missing data for one missing sensor when providing single activity labels. The accuracy gap drops to less than 1% with imputation-aware classification. Measurements on a low-power processor show that CIM achieves close to 100% energy savings compared to state-of-the-art generative approaches.
A Constructive State-based Semantics and Interpreter for a Synchronous Data-flow Language with State Machines
Authors: Colaço Jean-Louis , Mendler Michael , Pauget Baptiste , Pouzet Marc 
Published: September 2023

Scade is a domain-specific synchronous functional language used to implement safety-critical real-time software for more than twenty years. Two main approaches have been considered for its semantics: (i) an
indirect collapsing semantics
based on a source-to-source translation of high-level constructs into a data-flow core language whose semantics is precisely specified and is the entry for code generation; a
relational synchronous semantics
, akin to Esterel, that applies
directly
to the source. It defines what is a valid synchronous reaction but hides, on purpose, if a semantics exists, is unique and can be computed; hence, it is not executable.

This paper presents, for the first time, an
executable
, state-based semantics for a language that has the key constructs of Scade all together, in particular the arbitrary combination of data-flow equations and hierarchical state machines. It can apply
directly
to the source language before static checks and compilation steps. It is
constructive
in the sense that the language in which the semantics is defined is a statically typed functional language with call-by-value and strong normalization, e.g., it is expressible in a proof-assistant where all functions terminate. It leads to a reference, purely functional, interpreter. This semantics is modular and can account for possible errors, allowing to establish what property is ensured by each static verification performed by the compiler. It also clarifies how causality is treated in Scade compared with Esterel.

This semantics can serve as an oracle for compiler testing and validation; to prototype novel language constructs before they are implemented, to execute possibly unfinished models or that are correct but rejected by the compiler; to prove the correctness of compilation steps.
The semantics given in the paper is implemented as an interpreter in a purely functional style, in OCaml.
The Double-Mirror Gaze, Transcoded Testimony, and Disqualified Witnesses in the Talmud
Authors: Dickmann Iddo 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
I will argue that the underlying rationale for the talmudic list of trades disqualified from legal testimony is aesthetic. These trades involved professional mimicry, which as such incapacitated what R. Neis has termed “homovisuality” or self-referential witnessing in the Talmud. Reading talmudic laws of conjoined testimony and the induction of witnesses in light of Deleuze’s and Blanchot’s philosophy, I will argue that homovisuality entailed the witness’s reincarnation as the subject of the event, thus re-signifying rather than reporting the event. The judge, transformed into a witness, could capture the truth of the event at a glance, in a manner both prior to and irreducible to trial procedures.
Making Sense of God: Samson Raphael Hirsch and Franz Rosenzweig on Translation and Anthropomorphisms
Authors: Schonfeld Eli 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Contrary to the classical denial of bodily attributes or human emotions to God, both Samson Raphael Hirsch and Franz Rosenzweig embrace biblical anthropomorphisms. Their views on anthropomorphisms are part of their critiques of philosophy, especially of the basic preconceptions of the philosophical approach to the concept of God. This article analyses their positions by examining Hirsch’s commentaries on scripture (especially Gen 6:6), and Rosenzweig’s “A Note on Anthropomorphisms in Response to the Encyclopedia Judaica’s Article.” Through a close reading and interpretation of Rabad of Posquiére’s famous animadversion against Maimonides’s rule concerning heretics, this paper retraces the rabbinical roots of Hirsch’s and Rosenzweig’s approach to anthropomorphisms.
The Dharma King Who Took Care of His Family: Penden Trashi and the Rise of a Clan-Based Tibetan Buddhist Society in the Fifteenth-Century Northern Sino-Tibetan Borderland
Authors: Hu Xiaobai 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In the fifteenth century, Tibetan Buddhist monks from the northern Sino-Tibetan borderland played an important role in facilitating religious and political contacts between Ming China and the Tibetan world. With the rise of their political status and religious influence at the Ming court, these Buddhist hierarchs also projected imperial endorsements to the Sino-Tibetan borderland and reshaped the local social structure. This article examines how Penden Trashi, one of the most eminent Tibetan Buddhist monks of the fifteenth century, contributed to the rise of a clan-based Tibetan Buddhist society in early Ming Minzhou 岷州. By scrutinizing Penden Trashi’s biography and personal letters to identify his role in forging the dharma succession pattern and monastic association mode in Minzhou, this article illuminates how imperial patronage reconstructed the power dynamic in the fifteenth-century Sino-Tibetan borderland.
Empty Reality, Luminous Mind: The Metaphysics of “One Reality” and “One Mind” in Shi Sengwei’s “Shizhu jing hanzhu xu”
Authors: Lee Sangyop 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This paper is the first in-depth study of Shi Sengwei’s 釋僧衛 (fl. late fourth and early fifth centuries) “Shizhu jing hanzhu xu” 十住經含注序. By situating Sengwei’s text in the proper intellectual-historical context and proposing crucial emendations in its surviving recensions, I analyze its ontological and psychological claims that advance a unique metaphysical theory that explains the emergence of sense objects and individual minds as the result of the interaction between “one reality” (yifa 一法) and “one mind” (yixin 一心). I then identify philosophical and phraseological influences of Huiyuan’s 慧遠 (334–416) theory of the imperishability of the soul (shen bumie 神不滅) on Sengwei’s thought, and furthermore argue that Sengwei’s “one mind” was the source of the theory of the “one mind” in the Dasheng qi xin lun 大乘起信論.
Multiparty Cabinets and Coalition Governance in the Arab Middle East and North Africa
Authors: Kraetzschmar Hendrik , Cavatorta Francesco 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This article investigates a specific type of cabinet government in the Arab Middle East and North Africa (mena): the multiparty coalition. Although mostly associated with parliamentary democratic systems, coalition governments are not uncommon in the region, comprising in fact since 1990 a sizeable proportion of the cabinets formed post-election. Drawing on novel data collated by the authors, this article offers new macro-level comparative insights into some of the key parameters of coalition governance, including their formation, composition, and durability. In doing so, the article seeks not only to document and analyse the spectrum of multiparty governance in the Arab mena but advance the development of a research agenda on the subject that, whilst sensitive to local context, engages critically with, and feeds into, the broader coalitions literature.
Book Publishing and Print Disabilities
Authors: Grigas Vincas , Gudinavičius Arūnas 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
There is a community of people in Lithuania who experience difficulties in reading printed books. When ebooks are scarce they are left without proper access to an important information source. Comparing the Lithuanian results with data from other contexts, we find that the availability of ebooks in Lithuania is scarcer than in other developed countries: they are from two to three times less available. Computer use and access to internet use in Lithuania over the past decade has increased by 20 per cent; however, access to ebooks grew at a slower pace. Analysis of the most popular books indicates that relatively few of them are available in ebook format, which suggests deliberate choices to promote printed books by restraining the release of ebook versions. From 2010 to 2019, on average, only 14 per cent of printed titles published were available in one of the ebook formats.
Latinism and Hispanism in the Hispano-American Right in Interwar Spain and Argentina
Authors: Fuentes Codera Maximiliano 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
During the first decades of the twentieth century conceptions about Latinism and Hispanism were fundamental to constructing transnational discourses at the service of national causes in Europe and Latin America. In this framework, both in Argentina and Spain the new Right emerged in the heat of the fin-de-siècle carrying new visions on Latinism and Hispanism. During the First World War Latinism and Hispanism were harshly confronted. After the conflict, a process of ‘cross-fertilization’ took place in both countries. In the interwar period, authoritarian movements and right-wing regimes shared a series of political objectives, a common vision, and the feeling of being part of a historical mission against communism in the name of a ‘Catholic civilization’. In the context of the Spanish Civil War a ‘Catholic renaissance’ unfolded: a Hispanism that included a Latinist dimension was projected both in Francisco Franco’s Spain and unstable pre-Perón’s Argentina.
A Comparative Institutional Analysis of Learning Communities for Postgraduate Students: Region-Wide And Intra-University Group Comparisons
Authors: Saito Eisuke , Yin Kwok Percy Lai , O’Donovan Richard 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The recognition of the importance of learning communities for postgraduate students has been on the rise in recent times. As a result, many postgraduate students may wish to establish a learning community (lc) with peers and/or faculty members as a way of benefiting from the support lc s offer. This study undertakes a conceptual analysis of some key features required for organising and sustaining lc s and utilises the comparative institutional analysis (cia) approach in order to model a variety of coordination types that can exist between faculty members and masters’ course students or doctoral students undertaking lc activities. This paper endeavours to conceptually depict the typologies of two lc s with respect to cia principles, and to draw conclusions about their respective cost-efficiency and sustainability, as well as outline implications for further research.
Challenges in Higher Education in China and the United States: A Call for International Collaboration
Authors: Ma Liwen , Subbiondo Joseph , Berberet Jerry 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Four critical areas challenging Chinese and American higher education are: enrollment, faculty development, institutional mental health and well-being, and university cooperation. To address them, we encourage Chinese and American universities to consider increasing their collaborative partnerships. Because the similarities in academic mission and administrative organization of universities in both countries far outweigh their differences, there is considerable potential for institutional and individual collaborative projects and activities. Increasing collaboration would not only advance higher education in China and the US, but it would also improve relations between the two countries. In addition, more collaboration among Chinese and American universities would have a positive impact on international higher education as well as contribute to global peace. We are grateful to the leaders in Chinese and American higher education who have contributed statements that have enriched the context and perspective of our discussion.
Chindia: ‘The Most Significant Bilateral Relationship in the World’? Restructuring the Next Wave of Globalization
Authors: Peters Michael A. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chindia is a portmanteau word that signifies the growing and determining relations between China and India two historic civilizations, two very large populations (and domestic markets), and two expansive economies. This article provides an analysis of what has been called ‘The Most Significant Bilateral Relationship in the World’ to view as a major structural element in the next wave and significant element in Asian globalization. The outcome in the next twenty years will depend on how China and India develop complementarity and reinvent the bilateral relationship whilst avoiding historic border conflicts and negotiating the US Indo-Pacific strategy that aims to constrain China’s development and international influence.
Exploring Chinese Students’ Learning Burden Reduction Policy: a Historical Policy Analysis
Authors: Li Jian , Zhang Xinyao 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The student learning burden reduction policy has always been a key field concerning national education development and it is also a highly debated field in recent years. For the period of improving physical fitness, since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Directive on Reducing the Excessive Burden on Primary and Secondary Schools, which was the first policy document specifically aimed at reducing the burden on students, marked that the formulation of the policy of reducing the burden in China was on the right track. For the one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate period, the comprehensive restoration and reorganization of educational work was gradually carried out. To boost economic development with talents, the country has focused on improving the teaching level and quality of schools at all levels. For period for improving the quality of education, the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that schools at all levels should improve the quality of education. For the period of curriculum reform of basic education, the international situation was changing rapidly, science and technology were constantly iterating, and knowledge economy became the hot spot.

Background In the short term, pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) has been reported to have advantages over distal gastrectomy (DG) with regard to postprandial symptoms and dumping syndrome. We aimed to evaluate the quality of life after PPG for early gastric cancer in the long term in comparison to that after DG. Methods Twenty-six patients who underwent gastrectomy (11 PPG, 15 DG) for early gastric cancer at Osaka University Hospital participated and were followed for more than 4 years. Body weight changes, nutritional status, dual-phase scintigraphy findings, endoscopic survey results, and questionnaire responses after gastrectomy were examined. Results There were significantly lower ratios of weight changes in PPG than in DG, 5 years after surgery. There were no differences in the clinicopathological characteristics, nutritional parameters, questionnaire responses, and endoscopic findings between the two groups. Based on gastric scintigraphy, although the gastric emptying of liquids showed similar curves in the two groups, gastric emptying of solids was significantly slower in the PPG group than in the DG group ( P = .039). Discussion PPG had advantages with regard to long-term outcomes over DG in terms of weight maintenance and the prevention of rapid gastric emptying. PPG might be efficient in patients with early gastric cancer.

Background: The defects of the upper third of the auricle are considered significant reconstructive challenges, as they require frequent operations with a high risk of morbidity at the donor site and result in unacceptable cosmetic abnormalities. Objective: Is to perform the reconstruction of a full-thickness auricular defect located in the upper third of the ear using a conchal cartilage graft with postauricular flap coverage, aiming to minimize both donor and recipient morbidity. Patients and Methods: The current study included 20 patients with unilateral upper-third auricular defects. The repair involved 2 components: a cartilage graft from the concha to provide structural support and a flap for coverage. Follow-up was conducted for 6 months after the operation. Results: Successful outcomes were achieved in both subjective and doctors’ assessments. Regarding subjective outcomes, 85% of the patients reported high satisfaction ( P < .001). In terms of doctors’ subjective assessment, 90% of the patients had excellent results ( P < .001). Mild early and postoperative complications, if encountered, resolved spontaneously. Conclusion: The use of a combined conchal cartilage graft and postauricular flap in treating a full-thickness upper third auricular defect is safe and effective, with no major complications. The technique preserves the cosmetic and functional outcomes of the auricle, providing an excellent color match and minimal donor-site morbidity.

Published: September 2023

Background Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk, low-volume procedure requiring repetition, skill and multiple disciplines with fidelity of communication. Yet many barriers exist to maintain proficiency and skills with variable cost and fidelity. We designed and implemented a low-cost monthly ECMO simulation and hypothesized providers would have increased familiarity and improved teamwork. We also review some key elements of cost, fidelity and evaluation of effectiveness. Methods A structured, 1-hour ECMO simulation was performed on a customized mannikin on a monthly basis in 2022. Qualitative surveys were administered to each member post-simulation. Answers were categorized by theme, including satisfaction of patient care, evaluation of self and team dynamics, and areas for improvement. Results Most participants were satisfied with their ability to take care of the patient, with common themes of communication and coordination of roles. Identified areas of improvement were mostly limited to technical skills, and soft skills such as communication and teamwork. Conclusions We designed and implemented a low-cost, monthly and multi-disciplinary ECMO simulation program with overall positive feedback and identified areas for improvement. There remains variability in cost, fidelity and evaluation of performance and retention. There may be a need to create guidelines for ECMO simulation training that can be applied at all institutions utilizing ECMO for patient care.
