    A Mobile Forensic Tool for Enhancing Cyber-Physical Security by Detecting XSS Attacks Through Web Server Access Log Analysis

    No full text
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks are a critical threat to Web applications. These attacks allow the injection of malicious scripts into trusted websites, which can lead to data theft, session hijacking, and the compromise of user accounts. In this paper, we propose a novel forensic analysis tool specifically designed for mobile devices, which enables investigators to efficiently analyze Web server access logs, which are critical forensic resources, to detect potential traces of XSS attacks. The mobile-first design ensures that essential forensic data can be quickly gathered, even in environments where traditional desktop tools may not be practical. Finally, the tool generates a report that includes all relevant details and informative graphs. The proposed tool can be helpful in forensic investigations and is easily shareable or viewable on mobile devices

    La presente tesi di dottorato si propone di analizzare in prospettiva comparata la gestione delle emergenze nello Stato regionale, utilizzando quale case study la gestione dell’emergenza pandemica da Covid-19 in Italia e Spagna. La metodologia della ricerca si basa su un esercizio di comparazione sia diacronica che sincronica tra Italia e Spagna, configurabili come "most similar cases". L'obiettivo primario della ricerca è stato comprendere come gli eventi emergenziali influenzino i sistemi regionali e se la pandemia abbia innescato o meno evoluzioni nei modelli di regionalismo dei due paesi. A tal fine, il lavoro di ricerca è stato articolato in due parti: la prima parte si è focalizzata sulla ricostruzione delle teorie sull'emergenza e sui modelli di "Costituzione delle emergenze" affermatisi nel Secondo dopoguerra in Europa. In particolare, si è ricostruito lo sviluppo delle teorie sull'emergenza, dal decisionismo di Carl Schmitt alle riflessioni di Santi Romano in Italia, fino ad arrivare al "derecho de excepción" spagnolo. Si sono poi confrontati i modelli di gestione dell'emergenza, distinguendo tra ordinamenti nei quali vi è una disciplina costituzionale dell'emergenza (come Francia, Germania e Spagna) e ordinamenti, i quali si configurano come "non modello" o “modello ambiguo” (come Stati Uniti e Italia). Nell’ambito di tale classificazione, la Costituzione italiana è stata definita come “non modello” in quanto non prevede uno Statuto delle emergenze, affidandosi la gestione emergenziale al decreto-legge (art. 77 Cost.) e alla legislazione ordinaria sulla protezione civile. Al contrario, l’ordinamento spagnolo è stato classificato come “modello razionalizzato a tutele parallele” in quanto la Costituzione del 1978 disciplina minuziosamente tre stati di eccezione, stato di allarme, stato di eccezione e stato di assedio (art. 116 CE), poi regolati dalla Ley Orgánica 4/1981, de 1 de junio, de los estados de alarma, excepción y sitio. La seconda parte della tesi è stata dedicata all'analisi della gestione dell'emergenza sanitaria da Covid-19 in Italia e Spagna con particolare attenzione ai raccordi tra Stato centrale e Autonomie territoriali. La pandemia, configurabile come Complex Intergovernmental Problem per la necessità di coordinamento tra diversi livelli di governo, ha messo in luce le criticità dei sistemi regionali. In Italia, la gestione della prima ondata pandemica è stata caratterizzata da un forte accentramento del potere nel Governo, con un ruolo marginale delle Regioni, attraverso l'uso massiccio di decreti del Presidente del Consiglio dei ministri (d.P.C.m.). Solo con il decreto-legge n. 33/2020 si è assistito a una maggiore autonomia regionale. In Spagna, la dichiarazione dell’estado de alarma ha inizialmente centralizzato la gestione, ma la successiva fase 2 di desescalada ha condotto ad una forma attenuata di "federalismo collaborativo" con maggiore autonomia per le Comunità Autonome. Durante la seconda ondata pandemica, l'Italia ha mantenuto un modello centralizzato con una debole cooperazione regionale, mentre la Spagna ha adottato un modello decentrato, attribuendo ai Presidenti delle Comunità Autonome un ruolo chiave. La gestione della campagna vaccinale ha visto in Italia le Regioni come esecutrici del piano nazionale con margini di manovra, ma con disomogeneità nell'attuazione. In Spagna, le Comunità Autonome hanno avuto un ruolo fondamentale non solo nell'attuazione ma anche nella definizione della strategia vaccinale. Tendenze che si sono mantenute anche durante la gestione della terza e della quarta ondata pandemica. Infine, la tesi analizza l'impatto delle decisioni delle Corti costituzionali italiana e spagnola sulla gestione dell'emergenza. Il Tribunal Constitucional spagnolo ha dapprima adottato un approccio "demolitorio" censurando diversi decreti emergenziali, in particolare riguardo alla limitazione dei diritti fondamentali durante lo stato di allarme (STC 148/2021) e alla delega di poteri alle CCAA (STC 183/2021), per poi operare un overruling con la STC 136/2024. La Corte costituzionale italiana, con la sentenza n. 37/2021, ha affermato la competenza esclusiva dello Stato in materia di profilassi internazionale, centralizzando la gestione dell'emergenza e promuovendo un "regionalismo della separazione". Le conclusioni della ricerca evidenziano come la pandemia abbia messo in discussione l'equilibrio tra poteri centrali e periferici in entrambi i paesi, rivelando criticità nei sistemi di decentramento e la necessità di ripensare i regionalismi. Si suggerisce di attenuare la rigida separazione delle competenze in Italia e di valorizzare le sedi di raccordo, proponendo anche per la Spagna un regionalismo più cooperativo. La tesi auspica un modello multilivello con strumenti di concertazione strutturati per una governance efficace delle emergenze, basato sui principi dello Stato regionale e su una pianificazione strategica

    Herald Patch as the Only Evidence of Pityriasis Rosea: Clinical, Laboratory and Pathogenetic Features

    No full text
    Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a self-limited exanthem associated with the endogenous systemic reactivation of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 and HHV-7. The disease typically begins with a single erythematous patch on the trunk (herald patch), followed by a secondary eruption of smaller papulosquamous lesions. Rarely, the herald patch may be the only cutaneous manifestation of PR. The present work aimed to examine the clinical and laboratory features of the PR cases characterized by the herald patch as the sole cutaneous manifestation and to compare them with the classic form of PR. An observational, retrospective study was conducted on patients presenting with herald patch as the only sign of PR (cases) and on a series of age- and sex-matched patients who presented with a typical PR pattern (controls). The records of the patients were extracted from a PR registry, which collected data on patients with PR diagnosed from 2003 to 2023 by at least two dermatologists from the same study team. Nineteen patients (eleven males, eight females) with a mean age of 27.1 years presented the herald patch as the only cutaneous manifestation of PR. Nineteen age- and sex-matched patients were considered controls. In the cases, the exanthem duration was shorter than in controls, and the mean HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNA plasma load was lower than in controls. This rare variant of PR might be considered an abortive form of the exanthem that occurs when the HHV-6/7 reactivation from latency is contrasted by a more robust immunological response than in classic PR

    Chemical kinetic insights and numerical analysis of gasoline combustion with ozone as an additive

    This work deals with a comprehensive 1-D numerical analysis to assess ozone-assisted combustion of Toluene Reference Fuel/air flames. Ozone, O3, represents a promising oxidizer that enhances the laminar flame speed of alkanes through its decomposition into atomic oxygen. Simulations have been carried out by using two different chemical kinetic mechanisms with the addition of an ozone sub-mechanism. Results show that ozone increases the laminar flame speed across all thermodynamic conditions for ozone concentrations ranging from 0 to 7000 ppm. At a reactants temperature of 358 K and ambient pressure, the highest enhancement occurred under lean conditions with a lower enhancement near stoichiometric conditions. Above 500 K, a cool flame occurred under both lean and stoichiometric conditions, as fast ozone decomposition favors both OH production and a sharp increase in temperature. Moreover, with an increase of the reactants pressure, the hydrogen diffusivity becomes less important leading to an enhancement of the laminar flame speed under stoichiometric mixture condition. Sensitivity analysis has shown that at high pressure and in the presence of ozone, the reaction pathway is drastically modified. This suggests that reactions involving OH radicals prevail and lead to the formation of cool flames

    Management of CPAP Follow-up by Telemonitoring in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The PROTEUS Project

    No full text
    Purpose: CPAP is the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but as many as 50% of patients discontinue its use, within three years. The PROTEUS project aims to enhance CPAP adherence through telemonitoring. Patients and Methods: OSA patients undergoing CPAP treatment since July 2018, had an in-person reassessment after three months, followed by quarterly telemonitoring by providers, who intervened in cases of poor adherence (less than 4 h·night−1 or less than 70% of days), excessive mask leakage, or elevated residual apnea-hypopnea index (rAHICPAP). Results: A total of 486 (~87%) out of 558 patients analyzed remained adherent to CPAP after five years. The average rAHICPAP was 3.95 ± 5.25 events·h−1, the average CPAP usage was 6.35 ± 1.72 hours. Elevated mask leakage occurred in 25% of patients. No significant differences were found between sexes. Conclusion: The PROTEUS project showed promising results in supporting long-term CPAP adherence. However, further research is needed to validate its long-term impact and wider applicability in OSA management

    La fiscalità di scopo: il contributo ambientale nelle Isole Tremiti

    The Marine Protected Area (MPA) of the Tremiti Islands, Apulia, was established in 1989, covers 1466 hectares and is managed by the Gargano National Park Authority. The Reserve represents a small heritage caracterised by natural features such as inlets, sea caves, seabeds of natural and biological interest and Posidonia Oceanica meadows. Environmental protection became a constitutional principle with Constitutional Law No. 1/2022, which amended Articles 9 and 41 of the Constitution. The introduction of an environmental contribution for those who carry out certain authorised activities (bathing, diving, boat hire, boating) in the MPA pursues the aims of limiting tourist flows during the summer period in order to contain the phenomena of environmental degradation, and of obtaining financial revenue to be used in a restricted manner for investments in environmental quality, or monitoring and research activities. In particular, the income may be paid by the providers of these services, through the Tremiti Municipality, to the Gargano National Park, as the managing authority of the MPA, which may use it to repair the damage caused by these activities. This contribution represents a measure for the correction of environmental externalities and, even though it is not required by law, can be qualified as a tourist-environmental tax in the strict sense, also referred to as a tax with an environmental function, since the protection of the environment is not part of the taxable event, but it is its revenue that is tied up for the protection of the marine reserve. This contribution is in line with both the ‘polluter pays’ principle, which is at the heart of modern European environmental policy ex art. 191 TFEU, and the benefit principle. It is equal to the marginal costs of the damage caused by CO2 emissions from the individual activities authorised in the MPA

    Efficacy of index of reactivity-liquid sublingual immunotherapy in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized studies

    Introduction Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is a well-established treatment with demonstrated efficacy and safety. However, variability in study outcomes remains a challenge, driven by differences in patient characteristics, study designs, and treatment durations. Moreover, disparities in allergen composition and quality of AIT products across manufacturers contribute to significant heterogeneity, complicating the interpretation of efficacy and safety data. This meta-analysis focuses on assessing the efficacy and safety of a single manufacturer's liquid sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC). By narrowing the scope to one specific product, this study seeks to reduce variability linked to product differences, aligning with recommendations from the World Allergy Organization to improve the reliability of meta-analytic findings.Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on index of reactivity (IR) SLIT liquid formulations of various allergens were identified through comprehensive searches in electronic databases (MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrial.gov) up to December 2024, complemented by manual searches. Data on populations, treatments, and outcomes were extracted. Efficacy was evaluated by calculating the standardized mean difference (SMD) for symptoms and medication use. Subgroup analyses were performed by age, allergen type and sensitization status. Asthma comorbidity, dose and duration of SLIT were evaluated using meta-regression.Results A total of 25 RCTs (1,830 patients) provided data on symptom scores (SS), and 19 RCTs (1,555 patients) reported on medication scores (MS). Analysis revealed that IR-SLIT-liquid was significantly more effective than placebo in reducing both SS (SMD: -0.30; 95% CI: -0.41 to -0.18; P < 0.0001) and MS (SMD: -0.51; 95% CI: -0.72 to -0.29; P < 0.0001). Efficacy outcomes were consistent regardless of factors such as age, allergen type (grass, house dust mites, trees, weeds), sensitization status, asthma presence, or cumulative dose, while longer treatment durations were associated with improved efficacy. No significant adverse events were reported.Discussion This meta-analysis underscores the clinical effectiveness and safety of IR-SLIT-liquid, confirming its role as a reliable etiologic treatment for patients with ARC, for all allergens and age groups. The effect size is comparable to other immunotherapy options. The low rates of adverse events and treatment withdrawals highlight favorable tolerability and high level of patient adherence.Systematic Review Registration https://inplasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/INPLASY-Protocol-7305.pdf, INPLASY 20251004
