On-demand key management based on social attribute for opportunistic networks by Xi CHEN, Guang-song LI, You-liang TIAN, Jian-feng MA

“…An on-demand key management scheme was proposed based on social attributes,which could conform to the characteristics of intermittent connectivity,high mobility and self-organized management in opportunistic networks.By utilizing the identity-based threshold signature scheme,the authentication of nodes’social attributes was realized.Due to the specialty of the opportunistic routing protocols,nodes selectiv ly issued the identity certificates for each other to establish the Web of trust based on the matching of social attributes.Consequently,the performance of certificate graph was efficiently optimized comparing to the traditional met .Meanwhile,thanks to checking the social attribute evidences,the invalid certificate chains caused by malicious nodes were avoid to be built.Simulation result shows that,the scheme can provide high success ratio for reconstruction of certificate chains and high user reachability through low network costs in opportunistic networks.…”

A Rare Case Presentation of a Perforated Giant Sigmoid Diverticulum by Jennifer C. Kam, Vikram Doraiswamy, Robert S. Spira

“…These lesions arise from herniations of the mucosa through the muscle wall which progressively enlarge with colonic gas to become large air-filled cysts evident on plain X-ray and CT scans. We present a rare case of a 72-year-old female presenting with abdominal distention, abdominal tenderness, and fever who developed a type 1 giant sigmoid diverticulum (pseudodiverticulum) that subsequently formed an intra-abdominal abscess and an accompanying type 2 diverticulum as well. …”

Território financeirizado: as determinações territoriais dos desembolsos do BNDES ao setor sucroenergético no Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul - Brasil. by Ana Claudia Giannini Borges, José Gilberto de Souza

“…It was verified that the largest volume of resources was directed to the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, which presented a larger increase in the planted area with sugarcane, the number of sugar - energy agroindustries, the milling capacity, and in the cultivation area. It is evident that the financing logic of the BNDES has contributed to the growth and development of the sugar-energy sector in the analyzed states and, therefore, to change the form of occupation and use of the land and to accentuate the contradictions in the rural areas of these Brazilian states.…”

Radio listening clubs in Malawi and Zambia by Fackson Banda

“…The paper argues that the clubs live up to some of the ideal-typical attributes of participatory communication. This is evident in the following areas: (i) a propensity for social mobilisation; (ii) acquisition of skills and knowledge; (iii) communally induced motivation to listen to the radio; (iv) the possibility of interpersonal influence within groups; (v) the benefit of being ‘organised’ structures; (vi) the ‘massive’ reach of the clubs; and (vii) the dialogic interchanges between the rural-based groups and the urban-based policymaking elites. …”
