Designing and evaluating layered security

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Following systems engineering principles, we introduce analytic means to qualitatively judge and quantitatively assess layering of security controls with the aim of optimising risk reduction. The emphasis is on evaluating security controls in real world systems, where complications such as uncertainty, scale, multiple threats, multiple events, and multiple pathways from threat to event to consequences, confound the neat, and often used, picture of layering controls as rings around the bulls-eye of consequences. An example of physical security at a facility is given, with a quantitative illustration of optimising the layering of controls according to cost constraints.

A DNA-based approach to discriminate between quince and apple in quince jams

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Authentication of food products is of primary importance for consumers and industries. They expect that product labeling represents its true identity. However, in many cases, either accidental or fraudulent substitution occurs. Molecular biology based methodologies are acquiring great interest for their applicability to track a given item at any stage along the food supply chain. PCR analysis allows the identification of DNA traces that may remain in a given food matrix from the principal component and/or from contaminants. This work describes a novel experimental protocol to extract, amplify and identify apple DNA from commercially available quince jams. Aiming to extract DNA from this complex matrix, a DNA extraction method was developed, based in reagents such as CTAB and PTB, that minimize the amount of contaminants co-precipitating with DNA and thus reducing PCR inhibition. In order to identify apple DNA in quince jam, two molecular methods based on the amplification by PCR and RFLP analysis of the highly conserved chloroplast gene maturase-k (matk), were developed. The results obtained show the presence of two distinct species Cydonia oblonga (quince) and Malus sp. (apple) in all commercial quince jams analyzed. This study represents an advance in DNA methodologies for the detection of fraud and/or contaminants in this complex food matrix.
Growth Hormone Deficiency: Is It Just a Problem of Growth Impairment? Part II

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

As stated in the first part of this review, growth hormone (GH) acts on all organs and tissues, and untreated GH-deficient (GHD) patients suffer from several affectations occurring as a consequence of the lack of this key hormone. In the second part of this review, we will analyze the effects of GH on the liver, the kidney, the adrenal glands, the skeletal muscles, the bones, the hematopoietic system, the gastrointestinal system, and the adverse effects that may occur in these organs and systems in the GH deficiency not treated in children and adults. Apart from these, we conclude that GH is a co-hormone that seems to be necessary for the physiological actions of other important hormones in humans.
Do Virtues Influence Well-Being: The Role of Perceived Stress

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The positive results of life satisfaction among university students have been well studied in the literature. However, the forecasters of the phenomenon have not been thoroughly investigated. In the current study, multiple models were tested to investigate the mediating role of perceived stress in the relationships between virtues and life satisfaction to fill this gap. When testing the model, the effect of demographic variables was controlled. Data were collected through an online survey from a sample of 235 undergraduates. The participants responded to measures of character strengths, perceived stress, and life satisfaction. The findings reveal that perceived stress partially mediates the relationship between leadership, wisdom and life satisfaction controlling for age and gender. The leadership skills of students can be improved, and age and gender should be considered when studying life satisfaction.

Proactive Dynamic Community of Practice

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The main purpose of this Master Thesis was to invent and design Proactive Scenarios that could help students from the University of Luxembourg to improve their social experience on the Moodle™ e-learning platform through the automatic perception of who the user is, where does he/her come from, what are his/her online activities or what do users have in common, and through constant help, guidance and assistance generated by the system with the help of Proactivity. The first part of this work was dedicated to reading, analyzing and comparing stateof- the-art papers, articles and tools in research fields like Proactivity, Communities of Practice, Situation/Context Awareness and Learning Management Systems, followed by the creation and validation of the Proactive Cycle meant to group students, which are inscribed in the same study program or coming from the same city, into social communities where the practice can take multiple shapes.
Mechanisms of confabulation

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Patients who exhibited frank confabulation were examined with four tests designed to elucidate the nature of confabulation in a structured situation, test the ability of confabulators to use cues, and examine the degree to which certain cognitive deficits are associated with confabulation. Two groups of confabulators emerged: mild and severe. Severity of confabulation was associated with perseveration, impaired self-monitoring facility, and failure to inhibit incorrect responses. Attenuation of these cognitive deficits with resolution of confabulation in a single patient suggested that the two levels of confabulation represented different levels of impairment of the same disorder.
Matching Accessories

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Heterodimerization enhances the complexity of ligand recognition and diversity of signaling responses of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Many accessory proteins (for ion channels or GPCRs) appear to associate with their partners relatively early in the process whereby proteins are transported to the cell surface; their roles in modulating function may have evolved out of simple proximity to a protein that once upon a time they either facilitated or accompanied through the maturation process. The receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) are a family of single-transmembrane accessory proteins that heterodimerize with GPCRs and, thereby, allow individual GPCRs to recognize multiple ligands and to activate various signaling pathways in response to ligand binding. The M10 family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class 1b proteins has recently been shown to associate with murine vomeronasal V2R receptors, as well as to escort them to the cell surface. The exact role of M10 in modulating V2R function (or vice versa) remains to be determined.

Conventional HPLC Method Used for Simultaneous Determination of the Seven HIV Protease Inhibitors and Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcription Inhibitor Efavirenz in Human Plasma

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

We developed a simple HPLC method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of seven HIV protease inhibitors: amprenavir (APV), atazanavir (ATV), indinavir (IDV), lopinavir (LPV), nelfinavir (NFV), ritonavir (RTV), saquinavir (SQV), and a nonnucleoside reverse transcription inhibitor, efavirenz (EFV). This method involves a rapid liquid-liquid drug extraction from plasma, the use of an isocratic elution on a reversed-phase C18 column, and an ultraviolet detection at a single wavelength (205 nm). The mobile phase consisted of 39% 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 5.9), 22% methanol and 39% acetonitrile. Forty-eight samples could be measured in one day since the runtime of one sample is 30 min. The assay has been validated over a concentration range of 0.05 to 12.20 microg/ml for APV, 0.09 to 12.05 microg/ml for ATV, 0.05 to 12.01 microg/ml for IDV, 0.12 to 12.36 microg/ml for LPV, 0.18 to 12.20 microg/ml for NFV, 0.12 to 12.33 microg/ml for RTV, 0.12 to 12.06 microg/ml for SQV, and 0.05 to 12.17 microg/ml for EFV. Calibration curves were linear in the described concentration ranges. The average accuracy ranged from 97.2 to 106.8%. Both the interday and intraday coefficients of variation for all drugs tested were less than 8.5%. This method provides a simple, accurate, and precise method for the therapeutic drug monitoring of the seven protease inhibitors and EFV in clinical routine use.
Recent evidence for the involvement of brown adipose tissue in body weight regulation.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This short review first describes the energy requirements in homeotherms and the components of their energy balance. It emphasizes the role of brown adipose tissue as an effector of both non shivering and adaptive diet-induced thermogenesis. This tissue has in fact been recently found to be a common effector of both thermic and weight regulation in small mammals. This finding is based on experiments performed in genetically or experimentally obese rodents. The possible role of brown adipose tissue in adaptive diet-induced thermogenesis in man is discussed.
A Look Into the Past: Photo-Physiology of Cyanobacterial Mat Pigments in Alpena, Michigan and Lake Huron Sinkholes

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Cyanobacteria were key to oxygenating the atmosphere 2.5 billion years ago (bya). My study examined light harvesting pigments and their response to different light conditions in modern purple cyanobacterial mats that reside in the bottom of the deep, low-light Middle Island sinkhole and the shallow high-light El Cajon springs. Chlorophyll a, phycocyanin (PC) and phycoerythrin (PE) were extracted for analysis and pigment ratios were compared between locations. Photosynthetic yield was taken using a Dive-PAM to investigate the photo-physiology of the mats, on location and in the lab. Pigment concentrations from the high-light mats showed decreased pigment concentrations as light intensity increased, while low-light mat pigment concentrations increased with increasing light intensity. Further, PE:PC showed that El Cajon cyanobacteria express more PC, while Middle Island mat express more PE suggesting these modern cyanobacteria actively vary their pigment composition in response to available light.
From Victim to Victor: A Qualitative Investigation of Religion/Spirituality in Women after Interpersonal Violence

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Roughly one in three women will experience interpersonal violence (IpV) at some point in their life. It is unclear in the literature whether one’s religion and spirituality (RS) might aid in healing from interpersonal violence. The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experiences of IpV-exposed women and to understand how RS played a role in their healing process. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews (n=9) and a subsequent national survey (n=538). A four phase analysis of interviews revealed three themes (Connection to God, Connection to People, and Connection to Self) and a phenomenological essence termed Relationally Reflective. The national survey revealed findings that supported the themes and filled gaps in interview data. Women exposed to IpV use their RS to aid in reflection across connections with God, other people, and themselves. Knowing the importance of RS in the lives of IpV exposed women can stimulate social workers to reflect on their own integration of faith and practice. It may also lead to ,ore intentionally guiding clients' reflection on their relationships with God, other people, and themselves. Keywords: Religion and spirituality, interpersonal violence, women, trauma, qualitative
Is valence CCSD(T) enough for the binding of water clusters? The isomers of (H$_2$O)$_6$ and (H$_2$O)$_{20}$ as a case study

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Benchmark calculations on noncovalent interactions typically exclude correlation effects beyond valence CCSD(T) owing to their steep computational cost scaling. In this work, we consider their importance for water clusters, specifically, eight isomers of (H$_2$O)$_6$ and four Wales-Hodges isomers of (H$_2$O)$_{20}$. Higher order connected triples, $T_3$--(T), reduce dissociation energies of the latter by about 0.4 kcal/mol, but this is more than compensated by an increase of up to 0.85 kcal/mol due to connected quadruple excitations. In general, higher-order correlation effects favor more compact isomers over more `spread-out' ones. We also consider additional small effects for balance: scalar relativistics reduce binding in (H$_2$O)$_{20}$ by ca. --0.4 kcal/mol, which fortuitously is compensated by the ca. 0.55 kcal/mol diagonal Born-Oppenheimer correction. Core-valence correlation has the greatest impact, at ca. 1.3 kcal/mol for the icosamer.
Greater sigmoid notch dysplasia causing elbow instability: Lateral ligament reconstruction and Stamp osteotomy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The coronoid is one of the elbow’s primary static stabilisers, and the importance of reconstruction following fracture with instability has been established. In the developing elbow, instability can lead to greater sigmoid notch dysplasia that can make reconstruction challenging. A novel technique to improve osseous stability with an opening wedge ‘stamp osteotomy’ reconstruction of the coronoid is described combined with a lateral ligament reconstruction, in two patients with recurrent posteromedial rotatory instability. The technique improves congruity and coverage of the greater sigmoid notch with the trochlea whilst maintaining articular cartilage. Extra-articular iliac crest bone graft is used to maintain the position with buttress plate support. The surgical technique is described and the clinical and radiographic outcome reported in two patients. Level of evidence: IV.
The syntactic and semantic promenade of the Spanish absolute construction along the CommunicativeContinuum

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This paper investigates the diachronically changing syntactic and semantic status of the Spanish Absolute Construction (AC) on the Communicative Continuum ( Koch & Oesterreicher 1990 [2011] ) in a corpus of 15th- to 18th-century translations from Latin. Previous research has already demonstrated that the 15th-century preclassical Spanish AC evolved from a highly formal past participial Latin calque in the realm of Communicative Distance to an entrenched gerundial absolute in the 18th century, positioned slightly further from the Communicative Distance pole ( Del Rey Quesada 2018 , 2021 , Molenaers 2023). This study highlights that, besides the altering predicate, other characteristics enhanced the AC’s progression along the Continuum, including one syntactic (non-augmentation) and two semantic (non-adverbial, coreferential) factors. By means of clause linkage ( Raible 1992 , 2001 ), a development is traced to a syntactically less dense and semantically less complex gerundial AC, which displays a high frequency of the three outlined features. Complementary analyses grounded in a functional-pragmatic theory of subordination ( Cristofaro 2003 ) have revealed a moderate widening of the innovative AC’s clausal status beyond strict subordination. Two language-internal evolutions, the case switch from ablative to nominative in the transition from Latin to Spanish and priming with the gerundial unaugmented free adjunct (FA), are identified as the driving forces behind the Spanish AC’s syntactic and semantic promenade beyond the extremes of Communicative Distance.

This paper is about on denosing by modified thresholding function based on wavelet packet transform.First, there is a summary of the necessary conditions to construct the thresholding function on the basis of previous studies.And a new function for this method is put forward for wavelet packet denoising.Then,through four kinds of previous representative evolutionary thresholding functions are used for contrast, with the addition of traditional soft and hard threshoulding, all these functions are tested in a simulation experiment via four kinds of typical signals contarminated by different Gaussian white noise.Finally,the results show that the new function can be further remove noise effectively, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio, which reflects the superiority of conducting the modified thresholding function for wavelet packet signal denoising.
The Democratic Anomaly in 2020 Regional Head Elections (PILKADA) with a Single Candidate in Semarang City

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research aims to describe the democratic anomaly in the election of a single candidate in the city of Semarang and the deception background factors of the victory of the incumbent in the election of a single candidate in Semarang City in 2020. This study uses a qualitative descriptive design. The research location is in Semarang City. The research focus includes incumbent capabilities in the regional head elections in 2020. The sampling techniques used are purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Research informants encompass the success team of candidate pairs and the people of Semarang City. Research data was collected through interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and documentation study. Data validity was tested using data triangulation and analyzed using interactive qualitative analysis techniques. The study results show that many groups have predicted the existence of a single candidate in the 2020 Semarang City Election. Considering the incumbent's achievements while serving as mayor of Semarang, a single candidate as a democratic anomaly is accepted as a natural thing. Some factors determine the incumbent’s victory—first, political capital. The incumbent's ability to bring the City of Semarang to win various awards creates a sense of satisfaction from the public and political parties for his leadership performance while in office. Second, ocial capital. Incumbents are very popular in Semarang City, so they have high electability. Third, the economic capital. Incumbents benefit more financially, especially when it comes to the issue of campaign costs, to gain support for their victory.
Enhanced superconductivity in Bi2Se3/Nb heterostructures

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The superconducting proximity effect in topological insulator and superconductor heterostructures has aroused intensive research interest in the past decade. While many efforts have been made to investigate the induced superconductivity in topological insulators, the exploration of the effect of topological insulators on superconductors is comparatively rare. Here, we report the observation of an enhanced superconductivity in Bi2Se3/Nb heterostructures. The superconducting transition temperature and the critical field of Bi2Se3/Nb heterostructures are higher than those of the pristine Nb thin films. Such enhanced superconductivity is due to the improved superfluid stiffness in Nb thin films by proximity to the metallic Bi2Se3 flakes. Our findings will further advance the understanding of the superconducting proximity effect in the heterostructures.
