Chronic Kidney Disease in the Eastern Region of the State of Mexico: Implication of the Social Determinants of Health by Luis Enrique Hernández Gamundi, Donovan Casas Patiño, Alejandra Rodríguez Torres, Angélica Heredia Sánchez

“…<br /><strong>Results:</strong> the voice of the disease is relegated to be devastating in its attention and way of living; income due to constant travel, medical care costs and unemployment conjugates a deadly trap that conditions the economic fragmentation of the patient; public policies are unattainable -referring to the transplant program-; culture shows a religious symbolism of protection to the health coupled with social stigmatization for suffering chronic kidney disease CKD; the health system transits in lack of service guarantees -dialysis, hemodialysis, lack of supplies-; gender shows equality in care but overload of women in patient care. …”

Hard-coded backdoor detection method based on semantic conflict by Anxiang HU, Da XIAO, Shichen GUO, Shengli LIU

“…The current router security issues focus on the mining and utilization of memory-type vulnerabilities, but there is low interest in detecting backdoors.Hard-coded backdoor is one of the most common backdoors, which is simple and convenient to set up and can be implemented with only a small amount of code.However, it is difficult to be discovered and often causes serious safety hazard and economic loss.The triggering process of hard-coded backdoor is inseparable from string comparison functions.Therefore, the detection of hard-coded backdoors relies on string comparison functions, which are mainly divided into static analysis method and symbolic execution method.The former has a high degree of automation, but has a high false positive rate and poor detection results.The latter has a high accuracy rate, but cannot automate large-scale detection of firmware, and faces the problem of path explosion or even unable to constrain solution.Aiming at the above problems, a hard-coded backdoor detection algorithm based on string text semantic conflict (Stect) was proposed since static analysis and the think of stain analysis.Stect started from the commonly used string comparison functions, combined with the characteristics of MIPS and ARM architectures, and extracted a set of paths with the same start and end nodes using function call relationships, control flow graphs, and branching selection dependent strings.If the strings in the successfully verified set of paths have semantic conflict, it means that there is a hard-coded backdoor in the router firmware.In order to evaluate the detection effect of Stect, 1 074 collected device images were tested and compared with other backdoor detection methods.Experimental results show that Stect has a better detection effect compared with existing backdoor detection methods including Costin and Stringer: 8 hard-coded backdoor images detected from image data set, and the recall rate reached 88.89%.…”

FORCED HAPPINESS AS A MODERN SOCIO AND CULTURAL IMPERATIVE by H. V. Khodus

“…The idea is that the right to happiness, to private pleasure and self-care are the basic ideas of the Enlightenment and transformed into a cult object of enormous industry in the modern consumer society, the viability of which depends on the effectiveness of the symbolic goods consumption. Thus, the defining feature of the modern market society becomes the intensification practices of fun, the emancipation of desires that not only frees the individual, does not make him happy, and on the contrary, the individual exists in the atmosphere of constant existential anxiety, which is expressed in the sense of danger not to be happy, not fit within the "emotional regime".…”
