Relationships among thriving at work, organisational commitment and job satisfaction among Chinese front-line primary public health workers during COVID-19 pandemic: a structural e... by Di Jiang, Jingjing Wang, Lei Guo, Yuanmin Jia, Mo Yi, Zeyi Zhang, Ou Chen, Baosheng Zhao

“…Objectives This study aims to explore the mediating effect and influence mechanism of organisational commitment on the association among thriving at work and job satisfaction among frontline primary public health workers (PHWs) in China during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design This study is a cross-sectional written survey.Setting We included 20 primary care units in northern provinces of China.Participants A total of 601 PHWs who worked in primary organisations and against COVID-19 on the front line were included.Methods We collected the data from the participants’ written questionnaire (Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, thriving at work scale and organisational commitment scale), and programmed AMOS V.26.0 to develop a structural equation model (SEM) based on the relationships among the three variables.Results The thriving at work scores of the primary PHWs were (M=3.17, SD=0.65), and job satisfaction was (M=3.05, SD=0.69); the scores of their thriving at work, organisational commitment and job satisfaction were all significantly correlated (p&lt;0.01); and the SEM indicated that organisational commitment had a significant partial mediating effect between thriving at work and job satisfaction. …”

Binary program taint analysis optimization method based on function summary by Pan YANG, Fei KANG, Hui SHU, Yuyao HUANG, Xiaoshao LYU

“…Taint analysis is a popular software analysis method, which has been widely used in the field of information security.Most of the existing binary program dynamic taint analysis frameworks use instruction-level instrumentation analysis methods, which usually generate huge performance overhead and reduce the program execution efficiency by several times or even dozens of times.This limits taint analysis technology’s wide usage in complex malicious samples and commercial software analysis.An optimization method of taint analysis based on function summary was proposed, to improve the efficiency of taint analysis, reduce the performance loss caused by instruction-level instrumentation analysis, and make taint analysis to be more widely used in software analysis.The taint analysis method based on function summary used function taint propagation rules instead of instruction taint propagation rules to reduce the number of data stream propagation analysis and effectively improve the efficiency of taint analysis.For function summary, the definition of function summary was proposed.And the summary generation algorithms of different function structures were studied.Inside the function, a path-sensitive analysis method was designed for acyclic structures.For cyclic structures, a finite iteration method was designed.Moreover, the two analysis methods were combined to solve the function summary generation of mixed structure functions.Based on this research, a general taint analysis framework called FSTaint was designed and implemented, consisting of a function summary generation module, a data flow recording module, and a taint analysis module.The efficiency of FSTaint was evaluated in the analysis of real APT malicious samples, where the taint analysis efficiency of FSTaint was found to be 7.75 times that of libdft, and the analysis efficiency was higher.In terms of accuracy, FSTaint has more accurate and complete propagation rules than libdft.…”
