A look ahead approach to secure multi-party protocols

Secure multi-party protocols have been proposed to enable non-colluding parties to cooperate without a trusted server. Even though such protocols prevent information disclosure other than the objective function, they are quite costly in computation and communication. Therefore, the high overhead makes it necessary for parties to estimate the utility that can be achieved as a result of the protocol beforehand. In this paper, we propose a look ahead approach, specifically for secure multi-party protocols to achieve distributed k-anonymity, which helps parties to decide if the utility benefit from the protocol is within an acceptable range before initiating the protocol. Look ahead operation is highly localized and its accuracy depends on the amount of information the parties are willing to share. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods

Gillnets Selection of Alburnus chalcoides (Güldenstädt, 1772) in Almus Dam Lake (Tokat, Turkey)

In this study gill-net selectivity for Alburnus chalcoides inhabiting the Almus Dam Lake was estimated. Experimental gill-net fishing was conducted using gill-net with 15 mm and 20 mm mesh-size, during October 2002 and September 2003. A total of 254 and 198 specimens of A. chalcoides were caught by gill-net with 15 mm and 198 with the 20 mm mesh-size, respectively. The total length of the fish ranged from 10.5 cm to 21.5 cm for 15 mm mesh-size and 13.6 cm to 25.6 cm for 20 mm mesh-size. Mean total lengths were calculated as 14.34 ± 1.52 cm and 17.85 ± 1.97 cm for 15 mm and 20 mm mesh-size, respectively. Selectivity analysis indicated an optimum length (100% probability of retention) of 14.77 cm for the 15 mm mesh size and 19.69 cm for the 20 mm mesh size gill-nets. Selectivity Factor was calculated as 0.9846. The vast majority (81%) of fish caught by 15 mm mesh size and 20 mm mesh size were mature. Therefore, both the 15 mm and 20 mm mesh size were suitable for the sustainable fisheries of A. chalcoides in the Almus Dam Lake

Pregoreksiya: Gebelikte yeme bozukluğu

Pregorexia, the eating disorder observed during pregnancy, is a condition that negatively affects the health of the mother and the baby. The frequency of thin body perception, which has entered our lives with popular culture, is increasing. Pregorexia negatively affects both the health of the mother and the development of the baby.

Relationships between childhood trauma and dissociative, psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia: a case control study

Background Childhood trauma (CT) is an important risk factor in the emergence and clinical course of psychiatric disorders. In the latest literature, an association exists between CT and patients with schizophrenia. There is also a strong relationship between the dissociative symptoms of schizophrenia and the presence of CT. Aims The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between CT and dissociative, positive and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Methods One hundred patients with schizophrenia and 100 healthy volunteers were included in the study. The Sociodemographic Data Form, Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) were administered to all participants. Results The CTQ and DES scores of the schizophrenia group were significantly higher than those of the control group. In patients with schizophrenia, a positive association was found between positive symptoms and DES scores. In terms of negative symptoms, a positive association was found between apathetic social withdrawal and CIO-emotional neglect (EN), CTQ-physical neglect (PN) and CTQ total scores. There was a significant positive correlation between CTQ-EN scores and negative symptoms and PANSS scores. No significant relationship was found between negative symptoms and DES scores. Conclusions High rates of CT and dissociative symptoms are seen in patients with schizophrenia. In addition, the findings of the relationship between CT and dissociative, positive and negative symptoms are also noteworthy. Therefore, it may be important for clinicians to assess trauma history during the psychiatric evaluation of patients with schizophrenia

Catch Composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the Coasts of Karataş-Adana (Northeastern Mediterranean Sea)

The catch composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the coasts of Karataş was evaluated in the 2002-2003 fishing season. A total of 110 species were registered, the fishes showed the highest diversity (90 species) followed by 15 crustaceans species and 5 species of cephalopods. The highest catch per unit effort (CPUE) value (66.8 kg h-1) was recorded in September when the fishing season was opened and decreased to the lowest value in March (12.5 kg h-1). The average CPUE was 26.3 ± 18.9 kg h-1. The result showed that catch of fish decrease with increasing depth. The highest fish catch (47.42%) was found in 0-20 m depth range. 35.58 percent of the catch was between 20-50 m, and 17.00% between 50-100 m depth. Lessepsian fish comprise 18.90% of all fish in terms of the number of species and 26.66% of the total fish catch

Suriyeli göçmenlerin suça eklemlenme algısı: Kilis örneği

Türkiye’de Suriyeli göçmenlerin suçla ilişkilendirilmesi, önemli bir sorunsal olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İçişleri Bakanlığı Göç İdaresi Başkanlığı’nın Aralık 2021 verilerine göre, kayıtlı geçici koruma altındaki Suriyeli göçmenlerin il nüfusuna oranının %75,59 yani yerli nüfusa oranla en fazla olduğu Kilis’te, görev yapan kamu personelinin Suriyelileri suç ile ilişkilendirme algısı inceleme konusu yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Kilis İl Emniyet Müdürlüğü, İl Jandarma Komutanlığı, Adli Tıp, Denetimli Serbestlik Müdürlüğü, İl Göç Müdürlüğü ve Aile Sosyal Politikalar İl Müdürlüğü (ŞÖNİM)’den uzman personelden örneklem grubu seçilmiştir. Sayılan kurumlardan 18 farklı görev ve pozisyondaki personel ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Görüşmelerde, nitel veri toplama tekniklerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme sorularından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, Suriyelilerin suç ile ilişkili olduğu algısı yalnızca yerel halk tarafından değil mesleki nedenlerle Suriyeliler ile yakın ilişki içinde olan emniyet ve jandarma kolluk görevlileri dışındaki kamu personeli tarafından da geliştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Emniyet ve jandarma kolluk personeli suç ile ilgili istatistiklere doğrudan erişebilmektedir. Başka bir ifadeyle doğrudan Suriyeli göçmen ve suç verileri hakkında bilgi sahibi olmaktadır. Bu da personelin hatalı bir algı geliştirmesini engellemektedir. Bu bağlamda, özellikle kamu personelinin eldeki verileri de içeren hizmet içi eğitimlerden geçirilmesi gerekmektedir
