    2nd International Conference on Emerging Smart Technologies and Applications, eSmarTA 2022 -- 25 October 2022 through 26 October 2022 -- Ibb -- 184190A quantum The computer's operating speed significantly faster than modern computers, posing a challenge to existing cryptosystems. Post-Quantum Cryptosystems (PQC) is a type of cryptography that focuses underlying mathematical problems deemed intractable. supersingular isogeny Diffie-Hellman (SIDH) key protocol is a modern post-quantum cryptosystem provides benefits in terms of secret key length and Super Singular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman, research and current and potential future challenges. © 2022 IEEE

    Consequences of gender inequality on economic development: an empirical approach for OECD countries

    Abstract This paper aims to explain how to use the generalized method of moments (GMM) analysis technique to estimate the relationship between the gender wage gap and economic development for unbalanced panel data for OECD countries during the period 2011–2021. The results show that an increase of 1% in wage inequality between the two genders leads to a 0.013% decrease in economic development in the case of the OECD. The relationship is statistically significant at 1% which is consistent with previous studies

Objective: The objective behind conducting this survey study was to explore the perceptions and expectations of medical students and pediatric physicians about the third-year pediatric clerkship. Methods: An anonymous survey questionnaire was distributed to all general pediatric physicians at Hamad Medical Corporation and to students from Weill Cornell Medical College-Qatar. Results: Feedback was obtained from seven attending pediatricians (100% response rate), eight academic pediatric fellow physicians (100% response rate), 36 pediatric resident physicians (60% response rate), and 36 medical students (60% response rate). Qualitative and quantitative data values were expressed as frequencies along with percentages and mean ± standard deviation and median and range. A P-value <0.05 from a 2-tailed t-test was considered to be statistically significant. Participants from both sides agreed that medical students receive <4 hours per week of teaching, clinical rounds is the best environment for teaching, adequate bedside is provided, and that there is no adequate time for both groups to get acquainted to each other. On the other hand, respondents disagreed on the following topics: almost two-thirds of medical students perceive postgraduate year 1 and 2 pediatric residents as the best teachers, compared to 29.4% of physicians; 3 weeks of inpatient pediatric clerkship is enough for learning; the inpatient pediatric environment is safe and friendly; adequate feedback is provided by physicians to students; medical students have accessibility to physicians; students are encouraged to practice evidence-based medicine; and students get adequate exposure to multi-professional teams. Conclusion: Assigning devoted physicians for education, providing proper job description or definition of the roles of medical student and physician in the pediatric team, providing more consistent feedback, and extending the duration of the pediatric clerkship can diminish the gap of perceptions and expectations between pediatric physicians and medical students.

    RNA sequencing identified novel target genes for <i>Adansonia digitata</i> in breast and colon cancer cells

    Adansonia digitata exhibits numerous beneficial effects. In the current study, we investigated the anti-cancer effects of four different extracts of A. digitata (polar and non-polar extracts of fruit powder and fibers) on the proliferation of human colon cancer (HCT116), human breast cancer (MCF-7), and human ovarian cancer (OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-4) cell lines. RNA sequencing revealed the influence of the effective A. digitata fraction on the gene expression profiles of responsive cells. The results indicated that only the polar extract of the A. digitata fibers exhibited anti-proliferative activities against HCT116 and MCF-7 cells, but not ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, the polar extract of the fibers resulted in the modulation of the expression of multiple genes in HCT116 and MCF-7 cells. We propose that casein kinase 2 alpha 3 (CSNK2A3) is a novel casein kinase 2 (CSNK2) isoform in HCT116 cells and report, for the first time, the potential involvement of FYVE, RhoGEF, and PH domain-containing 3 (FGD3) in colon cancer. Together, these findings provide evidence supporting the anti-cancer potential of the polar extract of A. digitata fibers in this experimental model of breast and colon cancers.</p
