Academic literature on the topic 'Deep attestation'

In spite of his clear and deliberate distinction between philosophical and religious discourse, Ricoeur lets these two aspects of his thought interweave with respect to the deep "conviction" motiving it. The idea of “attestation”, considered as the "password" granting access to his last "hermeneutics of the self", testifies to this in particular. This term, while containing a religious connotation, refers to what Heidegger calls Fundamentalontologie, in which attestation (Bezeugung) is totally de-theologized to indicate how Dasein assumes its own death. But Ricoeur only incorporates this notion into his thought by making it undergo a profound modification. Ricoeur replaces “being–toward–death” with “remaining alive until…”, which allows him to recognize “the religious in common.” How can we develop a conception of the philosophy of religion from this winding process? This article marks a first step toward answering that question.

This instructional case considers the ethical issues in an actual legal case involving a Big 8 firm and a management consulting engagement. The engagement included the oversight of a forecast and an attestation service for the registration statement in an initial public offering. The objectives of the case are: to present an agency framework for the examination of ethical issues; to illuminate the obligations of full disclosure, the exercise of due care and the state of independence; to consider an ethical basis for the “deep-pockets” theory; and to provide a vehicle for ethical reasoning by students. The case is directed to a financial accounting course at the M.B.A. level, a professional development course or an upper-division undergraduate course.

AbstractWhile some might construct their view of the historical Jesus based upon the published findings of the Jesus Seminar, others may re-examine individual pericopae and argue that a change of 'colour' would be appropriate. Here it is suggested that the arguments offered by the Seminar to justify the colouring of one saying of Jesus—that a prophet is rejected in his home town (Gos. Thom. 31.1, Mk 6.4, Matt. 13.57, Lk. 4.24, and Jn 4.44)—as a (deep) pink are flawed. Arguments based upon multiple attestation, plausibility and embarrassment are considered and rejected, leading to the conclusion that black is the most appropriate colour for the saying. Two explanations for its inclusion in the Gospels are offered: that it is a proverb inserted by the writers because it mirrored their own circumstances, and the more speculative view that the saying was viewed as appropriate because of Jesus' own hyperbolic characterization of discipleship (cf. Lk. 14.26).

With the continuous enhancement of privacy protection globally, there is a problem for the traditional machine learning paradigm, which is that training data cannot be obtained from a single place. Federated learning is considered a viable technique for preserving privacy that can train deep models with decentralized data. Aiming at two-party vertical federated learning, and at common attack problems such as model inversion, gradient leakage, and data theft, we provide a formal definition of Intel SGX’s trusted computing base, remote attestation, integrity verification, and encrypted storage, and propose a general federated learning privacy enhancement algorithm in the scenario of a malicious adversary model, and we extend this method to support horizontal federated learning, secure outsourced computation, etc. Furthermore, the method is developed in a Fedlearner framework of open-sourced machine learning to achieve privacy protection of the training data and model without any modification to the existing neural network and algorithm running on the framework. The experimental results show that this scheme substantially improves on the existing schemes in terms of training efficiency, without losing model accuracy.

The paper deals with the concept of family tree and the German word Stammbaum. The concept is placed in the larger context of the plant-human metaphor. This metaphor is already found in the Ancient Near East in the Sumerian cosmogony. It is also known from the Bible. And it is deeply rooted in Indo-Europeania and can be traced through reconstructed Proto-Indo-European, Greek and Latin mythology, or Germanic and Slavic wood idols. The article compiles the frequently cited Latin texts passages on the topic and can add an early evidence for a “tree of kinship”. The oldest attestation dates back to the time around 650, but this is probably an isolated evidence, even though Isidore of Seville describes a stemma (the Roman genealogical table) with ramusculi ‘little branch’ in his Etymologiae. There is no need to conclude that this was a tree, even if the modern “tree of kinship” this suggests. Rather, art historical studies have shown that between the 9th and 12th centuries various forms of representation for the concept of family tree were tested, and that around 1200 the familiar family tree was estabablished as the form we know now as the only one. A first linguistic testimony is found in Albertus Magnus. Together with the early family trees of Carolingians and Guelphs, the thesis is developed, against the background of the deep anchoring of the plant-human metaphor in Germanic, that the family tree takes up these old ideas, too, and that the sound similarity of stemma and German Stamm supported to the word formation German Stammbaum.

Background. In 2021, a new educational project “Scientific Laboratory ‘Moscow Polyclinic’” was launched. Its aim is to develop research competencies among primary health care workers and to boost activities such as journal publication and the organization of specialized scientific and practical conferences. The article briefly describes several characteristics and features of this project for two seasons (2021–2022). Materials and methods. The author collected, aggregated, statistically processed, and analyzed the comparative data for two project seasons. Results and discussion. The analysis included information on the project design (topic-based tracks, blocks “Transformation” and “Accelerator of Ideas”, sections “Science” and “Service Design”, Scientific Club), the results of sociological surveys and their interpretation, and the brief scientometric characteristics of participants’ publications. Between 2021 and 2022, 9818 specialists took part in the Scientific Laboratory; they were outpatient polyclinic care providers in the Moscow healthcare system. In addition, the number of speakers nearly doubled, and a community of mentors was formed from the active researchers in Moscow healthcare. Conclusions. The project speakers included leading foreign and Russian scientists, representatives of scientific journals and peer-reviewed research databases, and Moscow healthcare specialists. They shared with the participants their experience of planning, their methodology for conducting a study; algorithms for selecting a study topic, and the features of research data publication, including possible sources. The project mentors were the chief specialists of the Moscow Healthcare Department, and the heads of medical organizations experienced in carrying out the studies. As a result, the participants successfully published their articles in the peer-reviewed journals from the list of the Higher Attestation Commission (VAK). The project demonstrates that the employees of Moscow polyclinics are not only active professional physicians but also researchers with critical thinking and deep knowledge in clinical medicine.

Voice of any human plays an important role in communication and sharing information among each other. Through voice, internal behavior can be identified as to whether the person is happy or angry which is reflected. A person’s behavior is not exactly reflected by their face; variation in his/her voice reflects somehow their behavior as there will be variation in voice and variation in frequency and pitch. Feelings and natural behaviors are important features, and there are many biological aspects through which they can be identified. Therefore, in this paper, we consider a Hindi speech specimen of different groups to identify the person’s behavior and natural feelings under different acoustic conditions. Many research papers show emotion recognition based on neural networks with different models using speech signals to identify the present status of any patient, and it helps to build a way for a smart healthcare system. Enabling service in terms of Blockchain means the sufferer does not require communicating with complex and failed tasks for collecting information from various sources to send to their expert. Blockchain provides experts access to systems and enables entry to the dataset section. Patients have total control over their data, and they no longer require monitoring to keep their data managed and up to date. Also, manually coordinating with data is required for multiple visitors, which can be a very tedious one. In this paper, we focused on feature removal of speech using different extraction approaches which were used to know the quality or state of voice specimens and also understand which feature extraction plays a vital role in gaining a close state of speech. Internet of Things-based learning platforms are used to gather the voice sample, and also, a deep gaining method was followed to reach and achieve the best accuracy and identify the error rate which will help to gather close behavior and state of mind. Finally, a proposed model based on the Gaussian mixture model as a classifier was used for its spotting and attestation.

Abstract. Fyodor Ivanovich Komarov (08/26/1920 01/25/2020) was a participant in the Great Patriotic War, a prominent domestic therapist, an outstanding figure in military medicine, a Hero of Socialist Labor, an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a laureate of the State Prize of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, an honorary doctor of the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy, a professor and a retired colonel-general of the medical military service. F.I. Komarovs scientific heritage is huge. Over 600 scientific works, including 33 monographs, were published by him personally and in co-authorship. Due to his comprehensive clinical background and deep knowledge of physiology and biochemistry, urgent problems of gastroenterology, cardiology, pulmonology, chronobiorhythmology and military professional pathology could be successfully solved. He made a great contribution to improve and reform the military medical service. Twenty six doctors and sixty candidates of medical sciences were educated under his leadership. Being a military doctor and holding high leadership positions, he was constantly engaged in the improvement of military medicine and military field therapy. He was also the head of medical support for the troops during the hostilities in Afghanistan, during the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and following the consequences of the earthquake in Armenia. He was elected chairman of the All-Union Society of Physicians several times. He was also a member of the Lenin and State Prize Awarding Committee under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, chairman of the expert council of the Supreme Attestation Commission of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical Medicine and an honorary member of a number of foreign academies. In 1999, he was awarded the title Man of the XX century, became a laureate of four personal prizes: M.P. Konchalovsky (1979), S.P. Botkin (1985), N.I. Leporsky (1992), V. Kh. Vasilenko (2001). For his merits to the Fatherland, F.I. Komarov was awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor (1980) in addition to forty five orders and medals.

The work is dedicated to the memory of Zoya Veniaminovna Moshkina, Doctor of Historical Sciences, a remarkable person, a teacher, a deep and demanding researcher of the history of political hard labor in Transbaikalia. For a long period of her activity in the field of science (about 30 years), about 100 scientific papers have been written, including a monograph, articles in journals reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission, works on the results of participation in various All-Russian and regional conferences. Most of Zoya V. Moshkina’s scientific works are devoted to the history of political hard labor and exile in Transbaikalia (Nerchinsk penal servitude). Sudden death did not allow the scientist to create an updated systematic work on the history of penal servitude in Transbaikalia, which was planned for the near future. Systematization of the author’s works in various areas of research of the Nerchinsk political penal servitude, analysis of the problems and determination of the novelty of her research allow us to call Z.V. Moshkina a leading historian on the history of political penal servitude and exile in Transbaikalia. Zoya Moshkina’s scientific research was carried out at the junction of history, jurisprudence and psychology, it is not only regional in nature but also have all-Russian significance, since political hard labor in the second half of the XIXth century was mostly concentrated in the Nerchinsk mountain district in Transbaikalia. Zoya Moshkina’s works are a comprehensive study of the Nerchinsk political penal servitude (the organization of the management system of political convicts, the regulatory framework for the maintenance of this category of criminals, living conditions in penal servitude, the gender, age and social composition of political prisoners, the behavior of convicts in conditions of penal servitude, etc.). The works by Z. V. Moshkina reflect personal, historical-psychological, gender and sociological approaches relevant to modern historical science, the application of which in the history of political hard labor has made a significant scientific novelty. The problems of the Trans-Baikal historian’s research, new aspects of studying the problems of the Nerchinsk political penal servitude have become a scientific basis for a new generation of scientists.

The article presents an overview of the meeting of the Editorial Council and the Editorial Board of the “Bibliotekovedenie” journal, held on May 17, 2023 at the Russian State Library. Changes in the place and status of a scientific specialty “5.10.4. Library science, bibliography, bibliology” in the nomenclature of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) led to the need to revise the content of the policy of forming the scientific content of the journal in the direction of strengthening the interdisciplinary synthesis of the specialty with the humanities and social sciences. At the same time, the development of a domestic system of scientometric evaluation of journals, adequate to modern needs and based on the realities and traditions of Russian education and science, as well as organizational innovations of the HAC concerning the activities of expert and dissertation councils, require rethinking the ways and formats of content submission, approaches to the selection of authors of the publication and their qualifications. The interdependence of these trends necessitates the analysis of their components and discussion by experts of the strategy and tactics of the editorial policy of the “Bibliotekovedenie” journal for the period up to 2030.The article identifies the main scientific directions, interdisciplinary synthesis with which will not only significantly enrich library science, but also help to reveal its trends in accordance with the request of the current stage of society development.The expansion of the research field determined by the decision of the HAC actualized the need for a deep cultural understanding of library science, bibliography and book studies, as well as the development of appropriate methodology. The realities of modern life urgently require the inclusion of a geopolitical aspect in the research space of library science, which contributes to the substantiation of the importance of the library as the main institution of cultural identity and the preservation of the written heritage of the peoples of Russia and the world. The role of the journal in the development of scientific communications, strengthening regional ties and supporting library education in Russia was also noted.The results of the discussion will form the basis of the editorial policy of the journal and will be used in the activities of the editorial board.

La virtualisation des fonctions réseau (NFV) est une approche de la mise en oeuvre d’un réseau dans laquelle les fonctions réseau sont implémentées sous forme de logiciels s’exécutant au sein de compartiments virtuels (comme une machine virtuelle ou un conteneur) plutôt que sous forme de matériel dédié. Il en résulte une architecture de type cloud où les fonctions réseau virtuelles (VNF) sont gérées sur une plateforme appelée infrastructure de virtualisation des fonctions de réseau (NFVI). Le paradigme NFV apporte de la flexibilité supplémentaire au réseau. Les opérateurs peuvent facilement adapter leur réseau en ajoutant, supprimant, ou déplaçant des VNF entre les serveurs pour déployer de nouveaux services à la demande. Toutefois, cette flexibilité s’accompagne de défis en matière de sécurité. L’Institut européen des normes de télécommunication (ETSI) recommande l’utilisation de l’attestation à distance comme l’un des outils permettant de sécuriser une telle infrastructure. Un protocole d’attestation est un protocole cryptographique bipartite dans lequel un prouveur fournit la preuve d’une ou plusieurs propriétés à un vérificateur. L’attestation approfondie étend le concept d’attestation à un environnement virtuel, dans lequel l’instance virtuelle et l’infrastructure sous-jacente sont attestées. Bien que l’attestation à distance, et dans une moindre mesure, l’attestation approfondie, ne soient pas des techniques nouvelles, les approches actuelles ne sont pas adaptées aux environnements NFV. Cette thèse introduit trois schémas d’attestation adaptés au contexte NFV. La sécurité de chacun de ces protocoles est formellement prouvée. De plus, nous démontrons l’efficacité de ces protocoles à l’aide d’expérimentations réalisées sur des implémentations. Un premier schéma formalise le concept d’attestation approfondie, tout en améliorant l’état de l’art avec une solution qui offre un compromis entre la sécurité et l’efficacité des deux principales approches existantes. Sur la base de cet élément de base, deux schémas sont présentés pour répondre à des situations concrètes. Ces schémas prennent en compte les problèmes de confidentialité qui se posent dans les réseaux virtualisés multi-tenant, tout en étant efficaces même sur de grandes infrastructures et en conservant les garanties de sécurité du schéma de base
Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is a networking paradigm where network functions are implemented as software running inside virtualised instances (such as virtual machines or containers) rather than on dedicated hardware. This results in a cloud-like architecture where the virtual network functions (VNFs) are managed on a platform called the Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI). The use of NFVs adds more flexibility to the network. Operators can easily adapt their network by adding, removing, or moving VNFs between servers to scale up or down, or to deploy new services on demand. However, with this flexibility come security challenges. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) recommends the use of remote attestation as one of the tools to secure such an infrastructure. An attestation protocol is a two-party cryptographic protocol in which a prover provides evidence about one or more properties to a verifier. Deep attestation extends the concept of attestation to a virtualized environment, where both the virtual instance and the underlying infrastructure are attested. Although remote attestation, and to a lesser extent deep attestation, are not new techniques, current approaches are not suitable for the NFV environment. In this thesis, we propose three privacy-preserving attestation protocols for the NFV context. We formally prove the security of our proposals. In addition, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our protocols with implementations and experimental results. A first scheme establishes the concept of deep attestation and enhances the current state-of-the-art by providing a solution that strikes a balance between the security and performance of the two predominant existing methods. Based on this building block, we introduce two new schemes that respond to more complex use cases. These schemes take into account the privacy issues that arise in multi-tenant virtualised networks, while being efficient even on large infrastructures and maintaining the security guarantees of the basic building block

This article presents the concept of blue pill, a stealth hypervisor-based rootkit, that was introduced by Joanna Rutkowska in 2006. The blue pill is a malicious thin hypervisor-based rootkit that takes control of the victim machine. Furthermore, as the blue pill does not run under the operating system context, the blue pill is very difficult to detect easily. The red pill is the competing concept (i.e., a forensics software that runs on the inspected machine and detects the existence of malicious hypervisor or blue pill). The concept of attestation of a host ensuring that no hypervisor is running was first introduced by Kennel and Jamieson in 2002. Modern advances in hypervisor technology and hardware-assisted virtualization enables more stealth and detection methods. This article presents all the recent innovation in stealth blue pills and forensics red pills.

The main formalities concern the making of deed or covenants in order to give effect to gratuitous promises (the deed is formalized by the covenantor’s signature, and attestation by a witness to the signature, and delivery of the deed to the covenantee, who need not be present at the time the instrument is executed). Contracts concerning land also need to satisfy the formality of a writing. Although the tendency of English law has been to retreat from formality, various statutory exceptions are examined, notably contracts of guarantee. English law has recognized a ‘no oral modification’ clause, which requires any variation to comply with the prescribed written formality.
