Comparing Sitting Pressure Between Two Commercially Available Cushions on a MSCC: Phase I Methodology
No full textShower chairs come in several different shapes and sizes and there is currently no standard way to objectively justify the increased cost of customizable appropriate shower chairs. Persons with impaired mobility and sensation take upwards of 1-4 hours to shower and toilet and are susceptible to pressure injuries. The cost of pressure injury (PI) prevention is high and currently treating pressure injuries is costing the US 11billion dollars a year annually. This study objectively measured the sitting pressures of able-bodied individuals on 2 cushions in an upright position and 2 tilted positions. Additionally, the arm rests and footrest heights were manipulated. Although this study is in Phase I, the results indicate a statistically significant difference in pressure distribution when comparing the VEF interface in combination with tilt-in-space mechanics to standard interfaces. It can be inferred that these two components on a MSCC may be effective in the prevention of PI’s by significantly decreasing pressure on weight bearing anatomical structures.

Artificial Intelligence\u27s Impact on Social Engineering Attacks
Get PDFThis research paper aims to explore the concept of social engineering attacks and the impact of artificial intelligence on them. Security threats posed by Social Engineering have escalated significantly in recent years. Despite the availability of advanced security software and hardware mechanisms, a vulnerability still exists in the organization\u27s or individual\u27s defense system. In this paper we look at types of social engineering attacks and the basic techniques used by attackers will be described. The primary areas of study are how AI impacts social engineering and is used to detect and prevent social engineering attacks. The application of automated systems is rapidly growing in every lifestyle we imagine – social media, merchandise apps, driverless cars, and cybersecurity companies. Even though AI has improved cybersecurity, it is giving cybercriminals a position to unleash advanced attacks. The employment of chatbots is rising. Chances are we have had an interaction with a Chatbot already, it may well be on Facebook Messenger. Unfortunately, many of us do not realize that we are talking to a bot. This paper also discusses the concepts of voice spoofing, deep fakes and automated social engineering

Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity by Noel Ignatiev
No full textFor sixty years, Noel Ignatiev provided an unflinching account of “whiteness” — a social fiction and an unmitigated disaster for all working-class people. This new essay collection from the late firebrand covers the breadth of his life and insights as an autodidact steel worker, a groundbreaking theoretician, and a bitter enemy of racists everywhere. In these essays, Ignatiev confronts the Weather Underground and recounts which strategies proved most effective to winning white workers in Gary, Indiana, to black liberation. He discovers the prescient political insights of the nineteenth-century abolition movement, surveys the wreckage of the revolutionary twentieth century with C.L.R. James, and attends to the thorny and contradictory nature of working-class consciousness. Through it all, our attentions are turned to the everyday life of “ordinary” people, whose actions anticipate a wholly new society they have not yet recognized or named. In short, Ignatiev reflects on the incisive questions of his time and ours: How can we drive back the forces of racism in society? How can the so-called “white” working class be won over to emancipatory politics? How can we build a new human community?https://opus.govst.edu/fac/1233/thumbnail.jp
