WHO IS A SUSTAINABLE CONSUMER? IN SEARCH OF A NEW HUMAN CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY

“…The way in which economists perceive and interpret human behaviors directly translates into the tools of sustainable development policy (SDP). The efficacy of these tools, hence the possibility of attaining sustainable development (SD) goals depends on how precisely the background assumptions reflect mechanisms of human behaviors. …”

Queering the City: Understanding Gravitational Forces by Petra L. Doan

“…This paper uses examples drawn from US cities (Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia, and Ybor City in Tampa, Florida) to develop a more generalizable framework within which to analyze the process of queering a neighborhood and identifying policy measures that might keep it queer. This kind of comparative approach enables a more careful reading of queer urban spaces based on the behaviors of LGBTQ people in and around those spaces. …”

REMITTANCES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS FROM NIGERIA by Ahmed Oluwatobi ADEKUNLE

“…The findings show that 1% increase in remittances would result in a 0.32% increase in GDP over the long term, according to our model's results, which provide support for the "view upheld by contemporary development financial analysts that international remittance inflows are one of the major macroeconomic factors that significantly promote long-run economic growth in globalized countries. One possible policy conclusion from this study is that Nigeria can boost its economic growth performance by encouraging remittances and exchange rate stability as well as investing in more conventional growth sources like foreign direct investment (FDI), since the study found that FDI is one of the key factors that can spur growth in Nigeria …”

Efficient pairing-free CP-ABE based on ordered binary decision diagram by Sheng DING, Jin CAO, Hui LI

“…To improve the computational efficiency of ABE,its access structure was optimized and a pairing-free CP-ABE scheme based on ordered binary decision diagram (OBDD) was proposed.Based on the elliptic curve cryptography,the complex bilinear pairing operation in traditional CP-ABE was replaced with the relatively lightweight scalar multiplication,thus the overall computation overhead was reduced.And OBDD was used as the access structure of CP-ABE,which can not only represent any Boolean expression about attributes,but also support both positive and negative attributes.The length of the key was independent of the number of attributes and the length of the ciphertext was only related to the number of valid paths in the access policy.The security and performance analysis show that the scheme can resist chosen plaintext attack under the decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption,and the computation efficiency can meet the practical application requirements of Internet of things.…”

Privacy-preserving attribute-based encryption scheme on ideal lattices by Xixi YAN, Yuan LIU, Zichen LI, Yongli TANG, Qing YE

“…Based on the small key size and high encryption efficiency on ideal lattices,a privacy-preserving attribute-based encryption scheme on ideal lattices was proposed,which could support flexible access policies and privacy protection for the users.In the scheme,a semi-hidden policy was introduced to protect the users’ privacy.Thus,the sensitive values of user’s attributes are hidden to prevent from revealing to any third parties.In addition,the extended Shamir secret-sharing schemes was used to construct the access tree structure which can support “and” “or” and “threshold” operations of attributes with a high flexibility.Besides,the scheme was proved to be secure against chosen plaintext attack under the standard mode.Compared to the existing related schemes,the scheme can yield significant performance benefits,especially the size of system public/secret keys,users’ secret key and ciphertext.It is more effective in the large scale distributed environment.…”
