Reviewing Plasma Seed Treatments for Advancing Agriculture Applications on Earth and Into the Final Frontier

Abstract With benefits such as environmentally safe treatment methods to stimulate growth, to increase plant yield, and improve disinfection efficiency, literature on the field of plasma treatment of seeds is growing. Generalized variables and success criteria have not been well correlated between studies, so this review paper serves to connect plasma and agriculture technologies to coordinate future efforts in this growing area of research. The authors have particular interest due to space agriculture, where seeds are sanitized before being sent into space for crop production. In order to supply a spectrum of nutritional needs, it is necessary to provide a variety of crops and ensure biological decontamination before the seeds are being sent into space. Traditional seed sanitization methods are not viable for all seed types, so exploration of other options is needed to expand the astronaut diet on long-duration space missions. This review paper brings together the current state-of-the-art reported literature to aide in understanding plasma seed application apparatus, seed or crop performance pertaining to germination, growth, water interactions, inactivation of bacteria, and surface sanitization results. These recent works include evolving research themes for potential seed treatment sanitization processes for various seed types to ensure the viability of plants for future growth in microgravity crop production systems.

A Study and Analysis of Air Quality Index and Related Health Impact on Public Health

In 21st Century monitoring environmental value is a challenging and complex task but technology has changed now we can easily find the air quality index of any area. In the existing scenario, we will easily get air quality and environmental parameters on the internet. On the internet generalize statistical data is available which shows the quality of air. In a current scenario, the environmental parameter is impacting human health. In day today, the air quality index going worse and it impacts people's health. The people are facing different health issues like hair loss, asthma, lunges, and heart problems. It is important to know the environmental condition in our day-to-day traveling route. Recently air pollution is increased, the increase of harmful air particles is majorly affecting by the air quality index. Due to exposure to air pollutants, affects human health and causing many hazardous diseases like asthma and many more having a major impact on the lungs. The air pollution is impacting public health and creating multiple health-related problems, this causes a major medical cost every year derived from the disease. To travel safely with considering the health issues is a major concern in an urban area. In this paper, highlighting the impact of the air quality index on the human body, where the Air Quality Index is measured using the concerned information, this information will help to suggest a safe route where the air quality index is low so it can decrease the impact on human health. To find the safest path between source and destination we are using Dijkstra's algorithm. In this paper, we have studied the different research papers and made a comparative study to find the research gaps. The proposed model is a step up in the standard of living in regard to human health. The proposed model is consisting of three main components a) Air quality index b) health impact and c) safest path. In the first model the real-time data is collecting from the government agency or private agency these data will store in the database for analysis. The huge amount of data will handle by evaluation and analysis model in this model the data sanitization process will apply to get the more accurate data from sources it also calculates the different air particles and its ranges this data will transfer to the second model for identifying the health impact. The health impact model will calculate the average air quality index, time for traveling, and distance from the source to destination. This information will process to find short-term and long-term health impacts on public health. In the third safest path model, it will show the different nodes from source to destination at a particular distance. each node information will be stored in the form of a weighted graph in the database. Dijkstra’s algorithm is applying to find the safest path from source to destination. Dijkstra’s algorithm finds the node such that where its air quality value is less the algorithm will identify each node path in the graph such that the average traveling path consists of less air pollution.

Ethical and legal problems caused by COVID-19 pandemic

In the article these are considered ethical and legal problems caused by the ongoing pandemic of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19). New challenges for health care, economy, education not only revealed rather a high level of stability and mobility, but also showed a poor readiness of response to sudden risks, which had a certain impact on all spheres of life of the whole society. The authors have conducted a brief cross-cultural analysis of the issue basing on data quoted by the international network of UNESCO chairs in bioethics, sessions of the Bioethics Committee within the RF Commission on UNESCO affairs, as well as official open sources of the health care system and judicial sphere of the Russian Federation. Strong reciprocal link of legal risks in the interdisciplinary field of medicine and law are made discernable: on the one hand, introduction of sanitary and hygienic regulations (using of personal protection gear, sanitary processing, maintaining social distance, etc.) are aimed at the realization of the right of protecting the health, while on the other hand they represent a violation of basic human rights. Besides the theoretical approach to the problem of the observance of the constitutional rights of citizens in the pandemic conditions there exists a real threat of their violation due to absence of special mechanisms of their realization in frames of sanitary and hygienic measures with regard to the vulnerable and socially disadvantaged sections in the society. It is made conclusion about necessity of the international collaboration for the purpose of joint decision-making and action in the sphere of health care taking into account an international character of ethical and legal challenges triggered by COVID-19 pandemic, as well as national, economic, cultural and confessional peculiarities.

Validation of the saniTracers Sanitation Verification Method from Stainless Steel Environmental Surfaces: AOAC Performance Tested MethodSM 032001.

Effective sanitation of equipment is critical in an integrated food safety system. Existing sanitation verification methods have significant shortcomings that decrease their effectiveness and create an opportunity for novel approaches. This study is intended to validate abiotic bacterial surrogates (saniTracers™) for the rapid verification of solid surface sanitation processes. AOAC validation studies included a pure analyte LOD, matrix studies, inhibition, selectivity, product consistency and stability, instrument variation, and robustness. Stainless steel coupons (4 × 4"), pure or diluted analyte, and Chai qPCR systems were used for those studies. The saniTracers were quantified by qPCR. Average ΔCt values for all matrixes at 50 and 250 ppm sodium hypochlorite sanitation show 3.23 and 11.95, respectively. saniTracers behave similarly in the presence of all matrixes. saniTracers were not inhibited at significant concentrations by any of the sanitizers used. No discrepant results were observed with the robustness study. Lot-to-lot/stability testing demonstrated no differences between the three lots of tests analyzed. saniTracers demonstrated high repeatability and minimal interference from matrix, disinfectant, or microorganisms. The microbial selectivity study indicated a correlation between the removal of pathogens and change in Ct value for saniTracers, following the disinfection process. An average log(cfu) reduction of 4.00 was observed for the three pathogens evaluated, correlating to an average 10.65 Ct change in saniTracers, indicating a correlation in the removal of an average of 0.38 log(cfu) of pathogens per one saniTracer Ct change, following the disinfection process.

Bio-Inspired Algorithms for Preserving the Privacy of Data

Security of the data is also concerned with the privacy of the data since the data or the information can be easily disclosed. Data sharing also plays a key role in security. Recently, patterns are disclosed using associative rule mining and the sensitive information are one of the imposing threats to the security aspects in data mining. Preserving the data as well as the privacy of the user using several PPDM approaches leads to provide authorized access for such sensitive information. The security threats for preserving privacy are provided by developing a sanitization process. The sanitization process is considered to be one of the biggest challenges in the mining of data. In this paper, different approaches such as GA-based and PSO based algorithms are surveyed and analyzed for preserving the privacy of data. The purpose of data sanitization and the use of Bio-Inspired algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are discussed.

A multi-objective privacy preservation model for cloud security using hybrid Jaya-based shark smell optimization

The rising volume of sensitive and personal data being harvested by data controllers has increased the security essentials in the cloud system. The cloud module is not used just to store the data, but also to process them on cloud premises. Security for the cloud premises is essential as the cloud has lot of outsourced, unprotected sensitive data for the public access. This has resulted repeated data violations, and thus there is a need for the advanced legal data protection constraints. Various studies were conducted to adopt the privacy preservation in the cloud, and most of the state-of-the-art techniques fail to handle the optimal privacy when dealing with sensitive data, as it requires separate data sanitization and restoration models. To overcome this challenge, this paper tempts to develop the privacy preservation model in the cloud environment using the advancements of artificial intelligent techniques. Artificial Intelligent capabilities are working in the business cloud computing environment to make organizations more efficient, strategic, and insight-driven. However, by hosting the data, cloud computing offers businesses high flexibility, agility, and cost savings. The two main phases of the proposed privacy preservation system are the data sanitization and restoration. Moreover, the proposed sanitization process depends on the optimal key generation, which is performed by the hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm. This hybrid algorithm merges two well-performed algorithms, such as Shark Smell Optimization (SSO) and Jaya Algorithm (JA), and thus termed as Jaya-based Shark Smell Optimization (J-SSO). The optimal key generation is accomplished by deriving a multi-objective function that involves the parameters, such as the degree of modification, hiding ratio, and information preservation ratio. Finally, the performance analysis has proved the efficiency of the proposed model over the state-of-the-art models in enhancing cloud security.

Blockchain‐based secure information sharing for supply chain management: Optimization assisted data sanitization process

Currently, the furious competitiveness in global markets and speedy improvements in information technology lead to shorter product life cycles, lesser transportation capabilities, and increased demands as well. In most business scenarios, the supply chain network is becoming one of the most vital focusing areas. In the supply chain network, blockchain technology is a promising solution for secure information sharing. However, it is a bit critical in maintaining security at each level of the blockchain and hence the public–private–key cryptography is more commonly preferred. This study intends to construct a new privacy preservation model in the field of supply chain networks based on blockchain technology by undergoing three major phases, namely, (a) data sanitization, (b) key generation, and (c) restoration. Further, the sensitive fields in the original data are selected during the data sanitization phase, and in the key generation phase; the optimal key is generated to hide the selected sensitive fields. The hidden data with the secured key is transferred from the source (manufacturer) to destination (vendor) in the supply chain network via the blockchain. The restoration process takes place in the receiver side with the help of the same key. Among all these data flow methods, the optimal key selection is the critical issue that needs to be overridden to make the data transmission secured. As a novelty, a new optimization algorithm referred to as Whale with New Crosspoint-based Update (WNU), which is the advanced version of Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), is developed here to select the optimal key. Finally, the proposed WNU model is analyzed in terms of Hiding Failure (HF) rate, Information Preservation (IP) Rate, and False Rule generation (FR), and Degree of Modification (DM). The proposed secured information sharing in supply chain management (SCM) with blockchain technology will be validated by comparing it over the traditional models in terms of security as well.

A hybrid model integrating warm heat and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation might efficiently disinfect respirators and personal protective equipment

BackgroundThe pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has taken a heavy toll on human life and has upended the medical system in many countries. The disease has created a system wide worsening shortage of N95, medical masks, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) that is regularly used by healthcare personnel and emergency service providers for their protection.AimConsidering the number of infected patients and the stressed supplies of PPE, reuse of PPE can serve as an efficient contingency plan. Multiple studies have investigated the effect of different decontamination methods.MethodsWe chose the most user-friendly, easily scalable viral decontamination methods, including ultraviolet irradiation and heat treatment. In this paper, we investigated a unique approach to reuse the mask by creating a hybrid model that efficiently sanitizes the infected mask.ResultsThe advantages of the proposed hybrid model as compared to the respective single arms is its decontamination efficacy, operational speed, as well as the number of reuse cycles as verified by mathematical analysis and simulation. This model is mainly intended for medical PPE but can also be used for other domestic and personal sanitization during the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the situation, the hybrid system can be used as standalone systems also. This sanitization process is not only limited to the elimination of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 but can be extended to any other infectious agents. Thus, our results indicate that the proposed hybrid system is more effective, meets disinfection criterion and time saving for the reuse of respirators and PPE.

N-Sanitization: A semantic privacy-preserving framework for unstructured medical datasets

The introduction and rapid growth of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the medical and healthcare systems, has brought numerous changes and challenges to current medical and healthcare systems. Healthcare organizations share data about patients with research organizations for various medical discoveries. Releasing such information is a tedious task since it puts the privacy of patients at risk with the understanding that textual health documents about an individual contains specific sensitive terms that need to be sanitized before such document can be released. Recent approaches improved the utility of protected output by substituting sensitive terms with appropriate “generalizations” that are retrieved from several medical and general-purpose knowledge bases (KBs). However, these approaches perform unnecessary sanitization by anonymizing the negated assertions, e.g., AIDS-negative. This paper proposes a semantic privacy framework that effectively sanitizes the sensitive and semantically related terms in healthcare documents. The proposed model effectively identifies the negated assertions (e.g., AIDS-negative) before the sanitization process in IoMT which further improves the utility of sanitized documents. Moreover, besides considering the sensitive medical findings, we also incorporated state-of-the-art metrics, i.e., Protected Health Information (PHI), as defined in the privacy rules such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Informatics for Integrating Biology & the Bedside (i2b2), and Materialize Interactive Medical Image Control System (MIMICS). The proposed approach is evaluated on real clinical data provided by i2b2. On average the detection (for both PHI’s and medical findings) accuracy is improved with Precision, Recall and F-measure score at 21%, 51%, and 54% respectively. The overall improved data utility of our proposed model is 8% as compared to C-sanitized and 25% when comparing it with a simple reduction approach. Experimental results show that our approach effectively manages the privacy and utility trade-off as compared to its counterparts.

PANDEMIC ECONOMICS AND HUMAN CAPITAL

Theoretical regularities between epidemic and sanitary processes that form epidemics and the assessment of human capital are presented. Infections and pathogens are satellites of human evolution, i.e. they form the economic relations and costs of quarantining or eliminating pandemics. In Russia, there is a positive experience of biogeochemical activity, which is enshrined in sanitary rules and regulations. It is proposed to implement strategies for the development of territories taking into account infectious, epidemic and sanitary hierarchies. Quarantine is the principle of building a geospatial platform that includes administrative divisions and agglomerations.

Optimal Key Generation for Data Sanitization and Restoration of Cloud Data: Future of Financial Cyber Security

Cloud security in finance is considered as the key importance, taking account of the aspect of critical data stored over cloud spaces within organizations all around the globe. They are chiefly relying on cloud computing to accelerate their business profitability and scale up their business processes with enhanced productivity coming through flexible work environments offered in cloud-run working systems. Hence, there is a prerequisite to contemplate cloud security in the entire financial service sector. Moreover, the main issue challenged by privacy and security is the presence of diverse chances to attack the sensitive data by cloud operators, which leads to double the user’s anxiety on the stored data. For solving this problem, the main intent of this paper is to develop an intelligent privacy preservation approach for data stored in the cloud sector, mainly the financial data. The proposed privacy preservation model involves two main phases: (a) data sanitization and (b) data restoration. In the sanitization process, the sensitive data is hidden, which prevents sensitive information from leaking on the cloud side. Further, the normal as well as the sensitive data is stored in a cloud environment. For the sanitization process, a key should be generated that depends on the new meta-heuristic algorithm called crossover improved-lion algorithm (CI-LA), which is inspired by the lion’s unique social behavior. During data restoration, the same key should be used for effectively restoring the original data. Here, the optimal key generation is done in such a way that the objective model involves the degree of modification, hiding rate, and information preservation rate, which effectively enhance the cyber security performance in the cloud.

Artificial Bee Colony-Based Approach for Privacy Preservation of Medical Data

A large amount of data is generated through healthcare applications and medical equipment. This data is transferred from one piece of equipment to another and sometimes also communicated over a global network. Hence, security and privacy preserving are major concerns in the healthcare sector. It is seen that traditional anonymization algorithms are viable for sanitization process, but not for restoration task. In this work, artificial bee colony-based privacy preserving model is developed to address the aforementioned issues. In the proposed model, ABC-based algorithm is adopted to generate the optimal key for sanitization of sensitive information. The effectiveness of the proposed model is tested through restoration analysis. Furthermore, several popular attacks are also considered for evaluating the performance of the proposed privacy preserving model. Simulation results of the proposed model are compared with some popular existing privacy preserving models. It is observed that the proposed model is capable of preserving the sensitive information in an efficient manner.
