Political discourse, military and securitization of health nexus: contemporary security challenges and the military role in public health security by Vanja Rokvić, Vladimir Ajzenhamer

“…The purpose of this paper is to provide answers to the questions why health is viewed through the lens of national and international security, and what might be the potential role of the armed forces in strategic response to health security challenges. Relying on theoretical settings of Foucault’s discourse studies and securitization concept developed by the Copenhagen School of security studies, authors will try to illuminate the nexus between political discourse, military and securitization of health. …”

Privacy-enhanced federated learning scheme based on generative adversarial networks by Feng YU, Qingxin LIN, Hui LIN, Xiaoding WANG

“…Federated learning, a distributed machine learning paradigm, has gained a lot of attention due to its inherent privacy protection capability and heterogeneous collaboration.However, recent studies have revealed a potential privacy risk known as “gradient leakage”, where the gradients can be used to determine whether a data record with a specific property is included in another participant’s batch, thereby exposing the participant’s training data.Current privacy-enhanced federated learning methods may have drawbacks such as reduced accuracy, computational overhead, or new insecurity factors.To address this issue, a differential privacy-enhanced generative adversarial network model was proposed, which introduced an identifier into vanilla GAN, thus enabling the input data to be approached while satisfying differential privacy constraints.Then this model was applied to the federated learning framework, to improve the privacy protection capability without compromising model accuracy.The proposed method was verified through simulations under the client/server (C/S) federated learning architecture and was found to balance data privacy and practicality effectively compared with the DP-SGD method.Besides, the usability of the proposed model was theoretically analyzed under a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture, and future research work was discussed.…”

Delay optimal opportunistic pipeline routing scheme for cognitive radio sensor networks by Anfeng Liu, Wei Chen, Xiao Liu

“…In the Variable Duty Cycle for Opportunistic Pipeline Routing scheme, the nodes employ high duty cycle in the area far from the sink, and low duty cycle in the area near to the sink, which can achieve the balance of energy consumption and reduce the data transmission delay while not affecting network lifetime. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that, compared with previous opportunistic pipeline routing, energy consumption of network is relatively balanced and the data transmission delay can be reduced by 36.6% in the Variable Duty Cycle for Opportunistic Pipeline Routing scheme.…”
