PHYSIOLOGICAL VALUE BASED PRIVACY PRESERVATION OF PATIENT'S DATA USING ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY
No full textBody Sensor Network (BSN) is a suitable combination of wearable tiny devices attached to patient’s body. Their purpose is to monitor patient’s physiological data (or BSN data) values. Sensors continuously monitor and collect patient’s data and send it to a remote server through a network. This server can be called Database Server (DBS). DBS collect and stores the received patient’s medical data which can be later used for any medical emergency by the Healthcare provider. Further, patient’s data may be used to educate medical students, to provide data for medical research and analysis. Since the patient’s physiological data are highly sensitive and BSN is very susceptible to attacks, therefore, it must be ensured that patient identity should not be exposed and altered as well as patient’s data should not fall into hands of unauthorized users. Hence, maintaining privacy of patient’s data over the network is an important aspect. So communication between BSN and DBS has to be secure. A strong security mechanism should be applied to maintain patient’s privacy and confidentiality. This paper proposes information security of physiological data which flow through network which is highly susceptible to attack and unauthorized access. Paper proposing physiological value based Encryption and Mutual Authentication (PVEMA) mechanism to enable mutual authentication and data encryption for a patient’s physiological data. The work used practical approach of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), Message Authentication Code and Symmetric Encryption Scheme for maintaining the confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of patient’s data through previous stored physiological value
Basant and Spiritual Awakening: The Sikh Perspective
Get PDFBasant (spring) is a season of renewal, growth, and joy, often celebrated as a time of transformation and beauty. In Sikhism, Basant holds a more profound spiritual significance beyond its seasonal attributes. The Guru Granth Sahib presents Basant as a metaphor for spiritual awakening, divine love, and inner bliss. The hymns composed in Raag Basant by five Sikh Gurus and four Bhagatas emphasize the eternal spring experienced by those who are attuned to the Divine. The concept of Basant in Sikh philosophy encourages detachment from materialistic pleasures and fosters devotion to Naam (Divine Name). Historically, the Sikh tradition also embraces Basant as a celebration of resilience and Chardi Kala (eternal optimism). Let us know how Basant, through the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib, serves as a profound spiritual symbol and a call to inner awakening

International competitive strategy choices: comparing firms in China and India
No full textThis study investigates the types of international competitive strategies (ICS) followed by Chinese and Indian firms. Using firm-level primary data, the contribution analyses the factors that affect ICS choices and whether these factors differ between the two countries. It argues that firms’ resources and capabilities influence firms’ propensity to choose a specific ICS and that the strategies differ in relation to firms’ location, sector and destination market as well
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
U.S.-India Technology Cooperation and Capability Building: The Role of Inter-Firm Alliances in Knowledge-Based Industries
Get PDFThe paper reviews some Indo-US technology cooperation initiatives and analyses data on inter-firm alliances in knowledge based industries, especially Information Technology (IT). It snows that the market driven increase in the alliances between Indian and US enterprises has significantly enhanced the variety of linkages between Indian and US entities, both public and private. And that these linkages have contributed to capability building and diversification by Indian partners. A variety of spillover benefits of international technology alliances are highlighted. It is suggested that issues relevant for Indo-US co-operation at different levels need to be analyzed together in order to appreciate the complementarities across linkages of various types. For example, linkages between the public sector entities of the two nations may enhance the potential private sector networking initiatives. The paper also argues that while building of public institutions and policies relating to trade, technology and investment remain important for Indo-US technology co-operation, as shift in policy focus to "market induced" inter-firm alliances may be desirable.
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
