Behaviour-based Virus Analysis and Detection

Every day, the growing number of viruses causes major damage to computer systems, which many antivirus products have been developed to protect. Regrettably, existing antivirus products do not provide a full solution to the problems associated with viruses. One of the main reasons for this is that these products typically use signature-based detection, so that the rapid growth in the number of viruses means that many signatures have to be added to their signature databases each day. These signatures then have to be stored in the computer system, where they consume increasing memory space. Moreover, the large database will also affect the speed of searching for signatures, and, hence, affect the performance of the system. As the number of viruses continues to grow, ever more space will be needed in the future. There is thus an urgent need for a novel and robust detection technique. One of the most encouraging recent developments in virus research is the use of formulae, which provides alternatives to classic virus detection methods. The proposed research uses temporal logic and behaviour-based detection to detect viruses. Interval Temporal Logic (ITL) will be used to generate virus specifications, properties and formulae based on the analysis of the behaviour of computer viruses, in order to detect them. Tempura, which is the executable subset of ITL, will be used to check whether a good or bad behaviour occurs with the help of ITL description and system traces. The process will also use AnaTempura, an integrated workbench tool for ITL that supports our system specifications. AnaTempura will offer validation and verification of the ITL specifications and provide runtime testing of these specifications

Methods other than Experimental Animals for Screening Antitumor Compounds

Some scientists avoid the work with experimental animals. For that, it is important to describe alternative methods. In this review, some bioassays were described as an alternative for the experimental animals. The concept of cancer formation was discussed to show why such bioassays are useful for detecting antitumor compounds. The bioassays described in this review are technical, practical and recommended as a preliminary screening of large samples for the existences of antitumor activities. Such bioassays could reduce the pain of the experimental animals

Towards Secure Interoperability of EHR among Healthcare Organizations in Palestine

Technological development in the e-health field helps to facilitate and enhance healthcare, and improve treatment quality. Different public and private healthcare facilities in Palestine employ different health information systems; consequently, sharing health information has become more challenging and complex. In this paper, the researchers firstly investigate the current status of Electronic Health Records (EHR) in Palestine and the readiness of the various healthcare centers to foster the interoperability of EHRs. Secondly, the researchers propose a secure framework that might be used to deploy interoperability among healthcare centers. The mixed method approach was used to achieve the objectives of the research. Interviews were conducted with IT managers, and questionnaires were distributed to 331 out of 2350 personnel employed in five Palestinian hospitals. The findings of quantitative and qualitative studies show that there is no electronic exchange of EHRs between private and public healthcare facilities, and they highlight the necessity of putting interoperability into practice to enhance the quality of healthcare in Palestine and keep up with global advancements in health technology. Based on these findings, the researchers propose a technical framework for interoperability in Palestine using UXP/ X-Road, to securely and effectively share EHRs among healthcare centers

The Impact of Fiscal Policy and Trade Liberalization on Economic Growth: Evidence from Structural Breaks for Jordan

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of fiscal policy and trade liberalization on Jordan's economic growth. Design/methodology/approach: The study used Augmented Dicky Fuller unit root tests and Kapetanios unit root tests with structural breaks for the empirical investigation.   Findings: Government spending and taxation have a favourable influence on economic growth, according to the simulation results. Public debt has a negative but negligible effect on economic growth. Economic growth is significantly influenced by trade liberalisation.   Research implications: The consequence is the proportion of spending on infrastructure and human resources should be increased by taxes financing rather than foreign loans. Improving the competitiveness of domestic industries is necessary for free trade to have a positive effect.   Originality/value: This study is innovative due to the absence of research that addresses Fiscal Policy, Trade Openness and economic growth with the structural break in Jordan
