Collaborative Validation of Public-Key Certificates for IoT by Distributed Caching

Public-key certificate validation is an important building block for various security protocols for IoT devices, such as secure channel establishment, handshaking, and verifying sensing data authenticity from cloud storage. However, certification validation incurs non-trivial overhead on resource-constrained IoT devices, because it either brings long latency or large cache space. This work proposes to utilize the power of distributed caching and explores the feasibility of using the cache spaces on all IoT devices as a large pool to store validated certificates. We design a Collaborative Certificate Validation (CCV) protocol including a memory-efficient and fast locator for certificate holders, a trust model to evaluate the trustworthiness of devices, and a protocol suite for dynamic update and certificate revocation. Evaluation results show that CCV only uses less than 25% validation time and reduces >90% decryption operations on each device, compared to a recent method. Malicious devices that conduct dishonest validations can be detected by the network using the proposed trust model.

Improvement of the sustainability of ports logistics by the development of innovative green infrastructure solutions

Ports represent a crucial link in the logistic chain and as such have an important role in the international economy. More than 450 ports operate on the shores of the EU and they handle more than 30 % of total sea-borne trade. In addition, 150 million citizens live in EU coastal zones and another 150 million tourists visit these littoral areas during summer time; therefore, besides assuring the economic viability, the ports have the growing responsibility to act in environmentally and socially friendly manner.The authors address the problem of sustainability of ports logistics and present the current situation in the Port of Koper, the Mediterranean port located in the North Adriatic, which is a green port certificate holder. They provide an analysis of the actions that a port can take to reduce its environmental footprint. By applying innovative green infrastructure solutions, the Port of Koper can further improve its logistics and become even more competitive.

COVID-19 Antibody Test/Vaccination Certification: There's an App for That.

Goal: As the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2019/2020 unfolds, a COVID-19 ‘Immunity Passport’ has been mooted as a way to enable individuals to return back to work. While the quality of antibody testing, the availability of vaccines, and the likelihood of even attaining COVID-19 immunity continue to be researched, we address the issues involved in providing tamper-proof and privacy-preserving certification for test results and vaccinations. Methods: We developed a prototype mobile phone app and requisite decentralized server architecture that facilitates instant verification of tamper-proof test results. Personally identifiable information is only stored at the user's discretion, and the app allows the end-user selectively to present only the specific test result with no other personal information revealed. The architecture, designed for scalability, relies upon (a) the 2019 World Wide Web Consortium standard called ‘Verifiable Credentials’, (b) Tim Berners-Lee's decentralized personal data platform ‘Solid’, and (c) a Consortium Ethereum-based blockchain. Results: Our mobile phone app and decentralized server architecture enable the mixture of verifiability and privacy in a manner derived from public/private key pairs and digital signatures, generalized to avoid restrictive ownership of sensitive digital keys and/or data. Benchmark performance tests show it to scale linearly in the worst case, as significant processing is done locally on each app. For the test certificate Holder, Issuer (e.g. healthcare staff, pharmacy) and Verifier (e.g. employer), it is ‘just another app’ which takes only minutes to use. Conclusions: The app and decentralized server architecture offer a prototype proof of concept that is readily scalable, applicable generically, and in effect ‘waiting in the wings’ for the biological issues, plus key ethical issues raised in the discussion section, to be resolved.

Influence of Employee’s Education Level on Organizational Performance: A Case of Tuskys Supermarkets, Kisii County, Kenya

Employee diversity in an organizational performance is a very critical strategy for the success of an organization. The previous studies have indicated that it improves performance due to its diverse nature which consequently results into specialization. It is therefore imperative for the modern organizations to consider and effectively manage employee diversity. Inefficient employee diversity in the Supermarkets including frequent cases of recruiting employees based on ethnic backgrounds, inadequate education qualifications and hiring employees based on either gender is common in Tuskys Supermarkets. Equal measures have not been given on the criteria of choosing the employees in order to help avoid ethnicity and stereotype in Supermarkets. Consequently, some Supermarkets end up with incompetent employees that lower the rate of performance. This study therefore aimed at examining how employee's level of education influence performance in an organization. The case study was Tuskys supermarkets in Kisii County, Kenya. The study objective focused on the influence of employee's level of education on performance of Tuskys Supermarkets Kisii County, Kenya. The study was guided by Social Identity theory. Descriptive survey design was employed in the study. Both secondary and primary data were collected. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze data through means, standard deviations, frequency distributions and percentages. The data was then coded, analyzed and presented in tables and figures. The findings of the study revealed that education is the major factor considered during employee recruitment. The study also established that 90% of the supermarket employees were certificate and diploma holders. This gives them the required understanding of the work they perform.

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics: safety of use by the example of ciprofloxacin

Due to repeated reports of adverse effects with the use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, these drugs become over and over again the object of the close attention of pharmacovigilance specialists and health care specialists. The aim : to study the frequency and the nature of adverse reactions associated with the use of ciprofloxacin, based on the analysis of the spontaneous reports received by the Russian pharmacovigilance service. Materials and Methods : A retrospective analysis of the spontaneous reports of ciprofloxacin was conducted on the data-base «Pharmacovigilance» of the automated information system of Roszdravnadzor from 2008 to 2018. Results : 3403 adverse reactions that occurred in 2083 patients using ciprofloxacin were recorded. The most frequently developed reactions were from skin and subcutaneous tissues (37.3 %), general disorders and disorders at the injection site (21.1 %), gastrointestinal tract reactions (14.9 %). More than a one third of the reports contained information about serious adverse reactions. Unexpected reactions were identified as not recorded in the instructions for the medical use of ciprofloxacin: bradycardia, atrial arrhythmia, cyanosis, increased blood pressure. Conclusions : fluoroquinolone antibiotics with proven efficacy and years of experience in clinical use, continue to be drugs whose safety requires constant monitoring. The results of the study confirmed the possibility of detecting a wide range of the adverse reactions using the method of spontaneous reports. Regulatory authorities of the Russian Federation should recommend to registration certificate holders to include the information of adverse reactions of ciprofloxacin that were registered in the post-marketing period in the instructions for medical use.

Police Training Practices in Ghana: An Empirical Analysis

This study was carried out to do an empirical analysis of police training practices in the Ghana Police Service taking the National Police Training School, Accra and the Winneba Police Command and Staff College, Winneba into perspective. The study aimed at finding out the demographic characteristics of police officers and trainees, the academic qualification (s) of police officers, the criteria for police recruitment, the criteria for training of police officers, the duration of the training programme and the motivational factors for one to pursue career in law enforcement. The study employed the mixed methods by using both quantitative and qualitative approaches in getting the relevant data to satisfy the purpose and objectives of the study. Sampling methods used were purposive and simple random sampling methods. In-depth interviews were also conducted to elicit qualitative data. The study revealed that males are more than females in the Ghana Police Service. In addition, the study revealed that the Akan and Ewe dominated the Ghana Police. Notwithstanding, most of these police trainees were unmarried.

The Pivotal Role of the International Medical Graduate.

* Abbreviations: AAP — : American Academy of Pediatrics ECFMG — : Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates IMG — : international medical graduate The American Medical Association Physician Masterfile reveals 26 000 physicians who attended medical school outside the United States and Canada and who are not currently in residency, declaring pediatrics as their specialty. According to the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), in 2015, 3 countries (India, Canada, and Pakistan) contributed the highest numbers of non–US-born international medical graduates (IMGs) receiving ECFMG certification. However, there were also a sizable number of certificate holders from Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa (Nigeria).1 Non–US-born pediatricians inherently offer a broad cultural, linguistic, and ethnic diversity; as such, they may contribute to the goal in our pediatric specialty to improve workforce diversity and culturally effective health care.2,3 IMGs (including US-born IMGs) comprise >26% of the entire physician workforce in the United States. Forty-one percent of practicing IMGs are in primary care disciplines as defined by the Association of American Medical Colleges.4 They play a vital role in the care of vulnerable populations in both rural and urban underserved areas.2,5 Non–US-born IMGs also constitute a disproportionate number of subspecialists … Address correspondence to Rana Chakraborty, MD, MSc, FRCPCH, FAAP, FPIDS, PhD, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 1st St SW, Rochester, MN 55905.

APPLICATION OF UMRA AND RUQBA IN DISBURSEMENT OF FAMILY TAKAFUL BENEFIT: AN ANALYSIS FROM SHARIAH PERSPECTIVE

The paper aims to analyse the validity of practicing umra and ruqba concepts in disbursement of family takaful benefit from the shariah perspective. In the current practice of takaful, the disbursement of family takaful benefit is subject to the demise of takaful certificate holder. Upon maturity of the certificate, if the certificate holder is alive, he will enjoy takaful benefit but not the beneficiary or hibah recipient. Accordingly, he takes back the donation that he made earlier, which makes the arrangement contentious, as long as the Islamic value is concerned. To resolve this issue, the paper suggested that the takaful benefit could be disbursed based on umra and ruqba concepts as they are subject to the survival of the contracting parties. Umra and ruqba are valid provided that once the donation is executed, the donated object should never be returned to the donor. These concepts are appropriate for takaful because the beneficiary can enjoy takaful benefit only when the certificate holder dies before the maturity of certificate. Once the certificate holder dies, takaful benefit cannot be provided to him. The paper argues that the application of umra and ruqba concepts minimises the consequential issues that arise when takaful benefit is disbursed by nomination or inheritance or absolute hibah. Analysing the opinions of the classical Islamic jurists, the paper concludes that the application of umra and ruqba in disbursement of takaful benefit could be done with a structured checklist form.

Use of mollusks in zoohandicraft manufacturing in the Amazon Region

The use of mollusks by riverine and coastal families occurs mainly through the sale to add extra income to the family. However, little knowledge about the species that are marketed in the confection of zoohandicraft. From the above, the present study aims to characterize the diversity of mollusks used in zoohandicraft of the State of Pará, Brazil. To carry out this study, between March and August 2014, traditional handicraft marketing points were visited in the Municipality of Belém, the state capital. In all, 16 species of mollusks were found, 56% of gastropods and 44% of bivalves, arranged in five types of zoohandicraft (bio-jewels, ornaments for the ceiling, souvenirs, keychains, and certificate holders), and shells. Among the most abundant species, we highlight the bivalves Anomalocardia flexuosa (Linnaeus, 1767) and Triplodon corrugatus (Lamarck, 1819), it is emphasized that no species is on the red list of species threatened with extinction. It is concluded that the few existing data on the production and trade of zoohandicraft are insufficient to measure anthropogenic effects on the mollusks used to make the materials.

Prevalence of Typhoid Fever and its Risk Factors in Lalo Assabi District, West Wollega, Oromiya, Ethiopia

Typhoid fever is a cause of morbidity worldwide and a major public health problem in Ethiopia and other developing countries. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of typhoid fever and its risk factors among the study participants in rural and urban community of Lalo Assabi District, West Wollega Zone, Ethiopia. The study design used in this study was a community based cross sectional. The method used was a secondary data from all the District health stations and laboratory diagnosis. In the present retrospective study result, the prevalence in 2014- 2018 was 10% from secondary data. In this study 76.9% of the respondents had knowledge about typhoid fever. However, it was revealed that 58.6% males and 60.4% females were claimed to have suffered from typhoid fever. Among this, typhoid fever was higher in illiterate, elementary school and high school students than respondents with certificate, diploma and degree holders (p<0.001). The study found out that 93% of respondents who used pit latrine, 61.6% were suffered with typhoid fever. Also 60.3% of the respondents disposed the solid wastes on field that have direct proportional relation for prevalence of typhoid fever (X2=20.83, df=3, p<0.001). In case of water supply and prevalence of typhoid fever, largest percent (75%) who drunk from river water were suffered with typhoid fever. Additionally, the study found out that 54.9% patients had typhoid fever based on clinical examination and serological test results. This indicated that the risk factors were still continued and that there were no effective control measures in place. Therefore an understanding of factors that influence the occurrence of typhoid fever in Lalo Assabi District was important in the management of the typhoid fever and environmental sanitation by group minimizes the risk factors.

Education as Fictitious Capital: The Crisis in the Social Importance of Knowledge

The article describes the system of mass higher education in terms of political economy. The author discusses how the social and economic results of the education system depend on the principles of its organization. In identifying the economic effect of education, the author emphasizes that in certain circumstances certificates of education may function in the market as fictitious capital, increasing the economic opportunities of certificate holders without any basis in an actual increase in training or professionalism. The analogy with fictitious capital is methodologically justified because the certificate itself brings about an increment in money received although it creates no new value. The social consequence of the formalization of education is the falsification of its cultural content and significance. This formalization of education and the decline in the role of education and knowledge in society may make the cultural capital to which education contributes fictitious as well because it is verified only by a certificate of qualification in place of an actual advanced level of education. The author describes the process of formalization of education as a bureaucratic attack on the autonomy of the academic environment. To overcome the formalization of education and to repel this bureaucratic attack on it, it is necessary to establish the proper conditions for academic and personal development while enlisting society at large in formulating standards and specific criteria for the development of education. The author sees the processes taking place in education as signs of a crisis of institutionalization as a principle for regulating human activity. This crisis is manifested today not only by numerous disruptions in the operation of the educational system but also in the crisis concerning its social significance, and more broadly in questioning the social significance of knowledge.
