description: Введение: нарушения закона, допускаемые при расследовании и рассмотрении уго- ловных дел, особенно остро воспринимаются гражданами, формируя негативный образ правоохранительных органов и судебной власти. Существующая правовая модель деятельности прокурора ориентирована на выявление уже совершенных нарушений уголовно-процессуального законодательства. Действующее законодательство не предусматривает профилактики нарушений закона профессиональными участника- ми уголовного процесса. Цель: проанализировать причины и условия, способствующие нарушению уголовно-процессуального законодательства и сформулировать меры, направленные на формирование модели деятельности прокурора, ориентированной на профилактику таких нарушений. Методологическая основа: использовались общенаучный диалектический метод, а также моделирование, логический, системно- структурный и статистический, частнонаучные методы познания. Результаты: выделены причины и условия, способствующие нарушениям уголовно-процессуального закона, и предложены меры по формированию модели деятельности прокурора, ориен- тированной на предупреждение совершения таких нарушений. Выводы: предупрежде- ние прокурорами нарушений повысит общий уровень законности в сфере уголовного судопроизводства и, как следствие, будет способствовать формированию в обществе представлений о неукоснительности соблюдения закона органами предварительного расследования.

description: Введение: актуальность статьи обусловлена необходимостью выработки совре- менного понятия фишинга, отсутствующего в законодательстве и рассмотрением его с позиции применения социальной инженерии. Цель: автор ставит перед собой цель разработать понятие и исследовать современные механизмы осуществления фишинга, проанализировать его правовую регламентацию. Методологическая основа: исследование проводилось с использованием метода анализа и синтеза, с чьей помощью велся анализ составляющих частей, с последующим их объединением воедино в новом авторском определении фишинга. Результаты: сопоставляя понятия «персональные данные» и «компьютерная информация», фишинг можно определить как получение путем обмана или методов социальной инженерии (хакерства с использованием человеческого фактора) персональных данных для использования в корыстных, пре- ступных целях. Реализация фишинга имеет два механизма: во-первых, посредническое получение персональных данных, во-вторых, получение личных данных у самого их владельца. Выводы: предлагается дополнить гл. 28 УК РФ ст. 272.1 «Получение пу- тем обмана или методов социальной инженерии электронных персональных данных для использования в корыстных целях», квалифицирующими признаками которой стали бы совершение преступления группой лиц по предварительному сговору или использование служебного положения.

description: For organizations to survive and flourish in the long term, innovation and novelty must be continually introduced, which is particularly true in today's rapidly changing world. This raises a variety of ethical and sustainability considerations that seldom receive the attention they deserve. Existing innovation adoption frameworks often focus on technological, organizational, environmental, and social factors impacting adoption. In this chapter, we explore the ethical and sustainability angles, particularly as they relate to emerging technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) being a prominent example. We consider how to facilitate the development and cultivation of innovation cultures in organizations, including budding startups as well as established enterprises, through approaches such as systems thinking.

description: As important components of intelligent transportation system, lane detection and tracking (LDT) and lane departure warning (LDW) systems have attracted great interest from the computer vision community over the past few years. Conversely, lane markings recognition (LMR) systems received surprisingly little attention. This thesis proposed a real-time lane assisting framework for intelligent vehicles, which consists of a comprehensive module and simplified module. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first parallel architecture that considers not only lane detection and tracking, but also lane marking recognition and departure warning. A lightweight version of the Hough transform, PPHT is used for both modules to detect lines. After detection stage, for the comprehensive module, a novel refinement scheme consisting of angle threshold and segment linking (ATSL) and trapezoidal refinement method (TRM) takes shape and texture information into account, which significantly improves the LDT performance. Also based on TRM, colour and edge informations are used to recognize lane marking colors (white and yellow) and shapes (solid and dashed). In the simplified module, refined MSER blobs dramatically simplifies the preprocessing and refinement stage, and enables the simplified module performs well on lane detection and tracking. Several experiments are conducted in highway and urban roads in Ottawa. The detection rate of the LDT system in comprehensive module average 95.9% and exceed 89.3% in poor conditions, while the recognition rate depends on the quality of lane paint and achieves an average accuracy of 93.1%. The simplified module has an average detection rate of 92.7% and exceeds 84.9% in poor conditions. Except the conventional experimental methods, a novel point cluster evaluation and pdf analysis method have been proposed to evaluate the performance of LDT systems, in terms of the stability, accuracy and similarity to Gaussian distribution.

description: Einstein--Cartan theory is a generalization of general relativity that introduces spacetime torsion. In this paper, we perform phase space analysis to investigate the evolution of the early universe in Einstein--Cartan theory. By studying the stability of critical points in the dynamical system, we find that there exist two stable critical points which represent an Einstein static solution and an expanding solution, respectively. After analyzing the phase diagram of the dynamical system, we find that the early universe may exhibit an Einstein static state, an oscillating state, or a bouncing state. By assuming the equation of state $ω$ can decrease over time $t$, the universe can depart from the initial Einstein static state, oscillating state, or bouncing state and then evolve into an inflationary phase. Then, we analyze four different inflationary evolution cases in Einstein--Cartan theory and find that a time-variable equation of state $ω$ cannot yield values of $n_{s}$ and $r$ consistent with observations, while a time-invariant equation of state $ω$ is supported by the Planck 2018 results. Thus, in Einstein--Cartan theory, the universe likely originates from a bouncing state rather than an Einstein static state or an oscillating state.
Development of a NanoBRET Screening Assay for Buruli Ulcer Drug Leads with a Novel Mode of Action

description: Mycolactone A/B (MycA/B) is the compound which confers virulence to Mycobacterium ulcerans which causes the neglected tropical disease Buruli ulcer. Simmonds discovered that MycA/B inhibits the protein channel Sec61, which is responsible for the movement of proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (translocation) for incorporation into the cell membrane or secretion from the cell. This inhibition leads to apoptosis which causes skin necrosis. To discover a novel treatment of Buruli ulcer, a small molecule which can prevent MycA/B from binding to Sec61 but still allow translocation is sought. However, its discovery requires the development of an assay to visualise and quantify binding between Sec61 and MycA/B. This can be achieved using a NanoBRET assay which requires a cell line expressing recombinant Sec61-luciferase fusion protein and a probe consisting of a fluorophore conjugated to MycA/B. This project focused on the semi-synthesis of MycA/B for conversion into the probe. Semi-synthesis involves the isolation of the Myc core from MycF from the faster-growing and less hazardous M. marinum and the development of a shorter synthetic route to the southern fatty acid tail of MycA/B.This project began with the development and validation of a Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) method to quantify MycF during the extraction process. Two extraction methods, using CHCl3:MeOH and ethanol were evaluated and a Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) method was developed to reduce the effects of ion suppression. The ethanol method was found to be more effective due to fewer steps and avoiding the use of acetone, which destabilises MycF under light. In this work also explored the synthesis of the penta-ene fragment of MycA/B using Burke’s MIDA boronate methodology. Key steps include the Heck reaction, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Negishi coupling. The importance of water in the Suzuki reaction was highlighted and optimised. Efforts to couple the penta-ene with a triol precursor to form the MycA/B tail faced challenges due to steric hindrance and side reactions. Various catalysts, bases and protecting groups were tested. Despite the challenges, this work successfully synthesised the penta-ene and the triol precursor and has made significant progress in the isolation of MycF (and therefore the core) and the addition of the triol precursor to the penta-ene.

description: The orans, although a gesture with a long ‘pagan’ past, was easily adopted by Christians for its symbolic meanings of prayer and piety and quickly attained a number of other more nuanced meanings as it was refined and reused. By restricting the scope of this thesis to the orans in the Christian catacombs of Rome, it becomes possible to approach the figure from a multi-directional perspective, not merely concerned with what the gesture meant to the Christian, but with its literary and material pedigrees, its transition to Christian art, and its cultural significance. To this end, chapter one examines ‘pagan’ precursors of the Christian orans through an examination of coins, sculptures, inscriptions, and reliefs, as well as by looking at the two figures whose appearance most influences that of the orans – the goddess Pietas, and the Artemisia-Adorans funerary portrait type. Chapter two addresses the importance of the orans in the Christian literary community, and examines not only the actual usage of prayer with raised hands by the Christian faithful, but also examines the aesthetic and theological reasons for the popularity of the gesture – the parallel between the spread arms of the orans and the posture of the crucified Christ. Finally, chapter three presents a spatial-thematic analysis of the usage of the orans in the Roman Christian catacombs, using a corpus of 158 orantes. This chapter enables the reader to draw conclusions about the veracity of the academic theories presented in the previous chapters, as it compares the usage of the orans against its scholarly interpretation.

description: This study presents an agent-based model (ABM) developed to simulate the resilience of a community to hurricane-induced infrastructure disruptions, focusing on the interdependencies between electric power and transportation networks. In this ABM approach, agents represent the components of a system, where interactions within a system shape intra-dependency of a system and interactions among systems shape interdependencies. To study household resilience subject to a hurricane, a library of agents has been created including electric power network, transportation network, wind/flooding hazards, and household agents. The ABM is applied over the household and infrastructure data from a community (Zip code 33147) in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Interdependencies between the two networks are modeled in two ways, (i) representing the role of transportation in fuel delivery to power plants and restoration teams' access, (ii) impact of power outage on transportation network components. Restoring traffic signals quickly is crucial as their outage can slow down traffic and increase the chance of crashes. We simulate three restoration strategies: component based, distance based, and traffic lights based restoration. The model is validated against Hurricane Irma data, showing consistent behavior with varying hazard intensities. Scenario analyses explore the impact of restoration strategies, road accessibility, and wind speed intensities on power restoration. Results demonstrate that a traffic lights based restoration strategy efficiently prioritizes signal recovery without delaying household power restoration time. Restoration of power services will be faster if restoration teams do not need to wait due to inaccessible roads and fuel transportation to power plants is not delayed.

description: Floquet engineering is a novel method of manipulating quantum phases of matter via periodic driving [1, 2]. It has successfully been utilized in different platforms ranging from photonic systems [3] to optical lattice of ultracold atoms [4, 5]. In solids, light can be used as the periodic drive via coherent light-matter interaction. This leads to hybridization of Bloch electrons with photons resulting in replica bands known as Floquet-Bloch states. After the direct observation of Floquet-Bloch states in a topological insulator [6], their manifestations have been seen in a number of other experiments [7-14]. By engineering the electronic band structure using Floquet-Bloch states, various exotic phase transitions have been predicted [15-22] to occur. To realize these phases, it is necessary to better understand the nature of Floquet-Bloch states in different materials. However, direct energy and momentum resolved observation of these states is still limited to only few material systems [6, 10, 14, 23, 24]. Here, we report direct observation of Floquet-Bloch states in monolayer epitaxial graphene which was the first proposed material platform [15] for Floquet engineering. By using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) with mid-infrared (mid-IR) pump excitation, we detected replicas of the Dirac cone. Pump polarization dependence of these replica bands unequivocally shows that they originate from the scattering between Floquet-Bloch states and photon-dressed free-electron-like photoemission final states, called Volkov states. Beyond graphene, our method can potentially be used to directly observe Floquet-Bloch states in other systems paving the way for Floquet engineering in a wide range of quantum materials.
Quantitative Determination of Lipid Analysis Using Nile Red Fluorometry

Nile red fluorescence

description: An assay based on Nile red fluorescence was developed for quantitative analysis of triglycerides, a common cellular component with important biological functions and is routinely analyzed for diagnosis of metabolic disorders and as an important feedstock of food industry and biodiesel production. Based on studies on the Nile red fluorescence of pure, binary, and ternary systems of triglycerides, ethanol, and water, 20% ethanol aqueous solution was determined to be the most suitable solvent for lipid fluorescence measurement. Excellent linearity was established for lipid samples in the range of 0.1- 0.5 mg/ml with several different lipid standards and vegetable oils. Results also suggest that the fluorescence of triglycerides was not sensitive to the fatty acid composition of lipids. This finding is important since it implies that the assay could potentially be used for the measurement of triglyceride content of different oil crops without causing significant variations. The results of this method were then verified by comparing with the results of the conventional gravimetric methods. The results of the fluorescence assay were consistently lower than that of the gravimetric method by approximately 10%. This phenomenon was tentatively attributed to the fact that the gravimetric method measures the total amount of lipophilic materials in samples while the fluorescence assay is selective to glycerides. Attempts were also made to apply this assay to estimate the lipid content of green alga Neochloris oleoabundans. However, the results were less than ideal due to the existence of interfering components in the extract of microalga samples that could significantly repress the fluorescence of lipids.

description: Person re-identification (Re-ID) is a challenging task that involves identifying the same person across different camera views in surveillance systems. Current methods usually rely on features from single-camera views, which can be limiting when dealing with multiple cameras and challenges such as changing viewpoints and occlusions. In this paper, a new approach is introduced that enhances the capability of ReID models through the Uncertain Feature Fusion Method (UFFM) and Auto-weighted Measure Combination (AMC). UFFM generates multi-view features using features extracted independently from multiple images to mitigate view bias. However, relying only on similarity based on multi-view features is limited because these features ignore the details represented in single-view features. Therefore, we propose the AMC method to generate a more robust similarity measure by combining various measures. Our method significantly improves Rank@1 accuracy and Mean Average Precision (mAP) when evaluated on person re-identification datasets. Combined with the BoT Baseline on challenging datasets, we achieve impressive results, with a 7.9% improvement in Rank@1 and a 12.1% improvement in mAP on the MSMT17 dataset. On the Occluded-DukeMTMC dataset, our method increases Rank@1 by 22.0% and mAP by 18.4%. Code is available: https://github.com/chequanghuy/Enhancing-Person-Re-Identification-via-UFFM-and-AMC

description: Genus Unicorniella new genus
Figures 7–10, 17, 21, 24. Table III
 Type species: Unicorniella hatueyi n. sp., by present designation.
 Diagnosis. Body slender and size large for the subfamily (26–29 mm). Both sexes macropterous; tegmina lanceolate, sexually not dimorphic (size and shape similar in both sexes), clearly surpassing tip of abdomen (male) and ovipositor (female); hind wings fully developed. Head with tegument smooth, lacking any keels. Fastigium very large, very sharp and very slightly curved downwards, base of fastigium with a very large tooth, vertically separated by a deep notch from a large frontal tooth. Eyes small and spherical. Pronotum longer than wide; dorsal disk strongly projected, truncate; longitudinal sulcus inconspicuous. Legs very long, slender and ventrally armed with minute spines; genicular spines very long and sharp. Male cerci curved inwards and armed apically with two sclerotized and strongly incurved spines; female cerci unmodified, narrowly conical. Ovipositor long, slender, straight and entirely smooth.
 Etymology. The generic epithet is an arbitrary combination of letters, which mixes the Spanish noun "Unicornio" with the Latin diminutive ending "- ella ". It is declared feminine in gender. Unicorns are fantastic creatures believed to live deep inside the remotest forests, thus, only seldom seen; the epithet alludes to both the habitat of this katydid and its sporadic findings.
 Comparisons. Unicorniella n. gen. is very closely related to two other Copiphorini genera: Neoconocephalus Karny, 1907 and Pyrgocorypha.
 The new genus can be separated from Neoconocephalus as follows: 1) Habitus slenderer. 2) Fastigium very long and sharp. 3) Genicular spines conspicuously larger. In Neoconocephalus, the habitus is generally stouter, the fastigium is short and blunt (the single exception being N. aduncus (Scudder, 1878), which has it C-shaped), and the genicular spines are much shorter.
 Last, Unicorniella n. gen. can be separated from Pyrgocorypha by: 1) Habitus slenderer. 2) Fastigium apically not hooked. 3) Ovipositor longer than abdomen. 4) Mirror of right tegmen longer than wide. In Pyrgocorypha, the habitus is generally stouter, the fastigium is apically hooked, the ovipositor is as long as abdomen, and the mirror of right tegmen is essentially circular.
 Distribution. Monotypic genus, known only from the mountains of the neighboring Greater Antillean islands of Cuba and Hispaniola. In the former, it is scattered all across the main island, but in the latter, it is known from a single locality in southern Dominican Republic (fig. 24).

description: This thesis aims to determine energy compensation following exercise induced energy expenditure (ExEE). The specific objectives were: I) to determine the impact of the time spent performing physical activity (PA) of varying intensities on body weight and composition (Study 1); II) to determine the overall energy compensation and the major predictors of energy compensation through the systematic review approach (Study 2); III) to develop new methods to measure energy intake (EI) (Study 3) and time spent performing different activities (Study 4); IV) to determine the effects of a lower (LI) and higher intensity (HI) ExEE intervention on energy compensation (Study 5); and V) to investigate the inter-individual variability regarding exercise induced energy compensation (Study 6). In Study 1, women spending more time performing light-intensity PA were shown to have lower adiposity compared to women spending more time performing moderate- and high-intensity PA. Results from Study 2 (systematic review) show an overall energy compensation of 25% following exercise interventions and that fat mass (FM), exercise intensity and duration of the intervention are the main predictors of energy compensation. To better capture energy compensation (i.e., EI and EE), new methods to measure EI and time spent performing activities were developed (Studies 3 and 4) and used in the following studies. In Study 5, overweight/obese women training at HI displayed higher energy compensation when compared to women training at LI, which was accompanied by a reduction of NSPA (non-structured physical activity) and a greater amount of time spent lying down. Results from Study 6 showed that complete compensators (CC) had higher EI, fat and carbohydrate intake at the onset of the ExEE intervention when compared to incomplete compensators (IC). However, the results also showed that dietary disinhibition was increased, whereas NSPA was decreased at the end of the intervention in IC. Taken together, these studies emphasize that weight loss following exercise is impeded by energy compensation. In addition to the impact of FM, exercise intensity and duration of the intervention on energy compensation, NSPA and cognitive factors also seem to modify energy compensation that occurs as a result of exercise.
Updating Windows Malware Detectors: Balancing Robustness and Regression against Adversarial EXEmples

description: Adversarial EXEmples are carefully-perturbed programs tailored to evade machine learning Windows malware detectors, with an ongoing effort to develop robust models able to address detection effectiveness. However, even if robust models can prevent the majority of EXEmples, to maintain predictive power over time, models are fine-tuned to newer threats, leading either to partial updates or time-consuming retraining from scratch. Thus, even if the robustness against adversarial EXEmples is higher, the new models might suffer a regression in performance by misclassifying threats that were previously correctly detected. For these reasons, we study the trade-off between accuracy and regression when updating Windows malware detectors by proposing EXE-scanner, a plugin that can be chained to existing detectors to promptly stop EXEmples without causing regression. We empirically show that previously proposed hardening techniques suffer a regression of accuracy when updating non-robust models, exacerbating the gap when considering low false positives regimes and temporal drifts affecting data. Also, through EXE-scanner we gain evidence on the detectability of adversarial EXEmples, showcasing the presence of artifacts left inside while creating them. Due to its design, EXE-scanner can be chained to any classifier to obtain the best performance without the need for costly retraining. To foster reproducibility, we openly release the source code, along with the dataset of adversarial EXEmples based on state-of-the-art perturbation algorithms.
