Thank you.

I am trying to make a dataset based on MITRE ATT&CK (https://attack.mitre.org/) website to create AI-based threat intelligence. However, I didn't find any automated tools or readymade datasets for it.

Is there any dataset based on the MITRE ATT&CK?

Thanks in advance.

I am a master's student in cloud computing and internet security, I need a topic in relation to the threats and vulnerabilities associated to cloud computing

Social networks, as we all know, make it easy for us to be connected with a multitude of people or groups from different parts of the world.

Dear Respected Patron!

Now a days, its a burning question of the creations that "How to predetermine the Earthquake Signal?" So that, the early precaution may take measure to mitigate huge demolition and vulnerable lose of life.

Before crusteacean invertibrates radiated from one organism residing in the era of the proteriozoic period, as the phylogenetic tree theory states. It is widely predicted that the vulnerable troposphere of the Ediacaran era with an irregular crust morphology was the result of layering the earth surface with silica and magnetite, small air layers of cooling pockets consisting of the carbon dioxide and inorganic mineral composite items of tourmaline, gneiss material and the formation of a particular organic substance of carbon spheres that are thought to be residual airbourne materials of methane and carbon dioxide. The way tourmaline is deposited is from the very same way iron, berylium and manganese came to the surface as igneus movement. Of course the layering of certain chemicals is quite vast with the formation of sandstone and carbon spheres created spontaneously from on-earth eruptions of primarily condensed oxides.

I have been researching on bullet proof military technology and wanted to asses the vulnerability of human body on the battlefield. I would love an layout and explanation of this question.

How can we measure/calculate the hazard vulnerability and capacity of any given area having no or not specified sub-level boundaries data?

Hello,

I would like to make as broad as possible an inventory of all indices and indicators of vulnerability to climate change. Can you point me to articles or indicators that you know of to help me with this task !?

Thanks in advance !

My research topic is such that I need to gather data from the financially vulnerable sectors or from employees/ individuals who are financially unstable. which segment is most appropriate where can add value as well as data could be fetched? Please give your opinions.

I am looking for a book to suggest to my university students to study the response of natural environments to external factors, including climate change. I am interested in one that deals in some depth with the issues of vulnerability, resilience, resistance and adaptation. thank you to anyone who suggests something :)

Hi,

I've read the paper "Majority is not Enough: Bitcoin Mining is Vulnerable", where there is the following state machine (in "state machine.png")

Then they calculate the probabilities of the state space using the following equations. (in "equations.png")

These equations were given to the readers at the beginning of the State Probabilities section.

Equations 13-14 are clear and straightforward but equations 10-12 contradict my intuition and I think I am missing something.

I don't know how to get some different kinds of code injection vulnerability, and I just get some database about sql injection, please recommend some articles to me, or please give me some advice about how to collect database. Thank you~

Note that the majority of articles I have read use nitrates as a validation élément for the Model.

I have a cell line that is vulnerable to liquid N2 and vapor phase nitrogen storage. I am looking for any homemade protocols that allow long term storage of cells under -80oC to -100oC preferably in a ultra low temperature freezer.

Hello team,

Hope all of you are doing well!

I had a DC server running Microsoft windows server 2008 R2 x64. After a vulnerability scan launched on this server using Nexpose, the CVE-2017-8563 was reported by the vulnerability scanner with the message " Vulnerable software installed: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters LdapEnforceChannelBinding - contains unexpected value 0". As I understand from the CVE report, I have to : 1. Install the KB4025337 2. Create the registry key LdapEnforceChannelBinding" and set it to 1 to enable the KB to fix the CVE reported.

I checked from the server-side, the kb KB4025337 required is already applied after running the "Get-HotFix -Id KB4025337"(but installed on 08/20/2017), so the missed action was to create and set a registry key value "LdapEnforceChannelBinding" to enable the KB to fix the CVE reported.

I relaunch the Nexpose scan I get the same vulnerability reported with the message " Vulnerable software installed: non-vulnerable test results suppressed for readability.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters LdapEnforceChannelBinding - contains unexpected value 1 "

I checked also the Local Group Policy, I can see that : DC: LDAP server channel Binding token requirement is set to: When supported DC: LDAP server signing requirement is set to: None

Could someone please help in resolving this issue as it's an emergency for me? should I remove the KB and install it again, could this fix the vulnerability reported?

I'm working on a project and I need the data of these articles :

Can someone help me?

I have to assess the vulnerability of forests to climate change, and therefore, which models are effective for forest type distributions and carbon-related functions, and which could be another model effective to estimate forest carbon flux/storage in the context of Nepal.

How to compute the Households Vulnerability Index ? Can someone provide me articles, if possible, with supplementary materials related about Households Vulnerability Index ?

Focusing on the vulnerabilities in consensus protocols

Climate change vulnerability is not an emerging issue but the importance of adaptation is always neglected. Inequity makes women’s health vulnerable from their birth and regional variation makes it more prominent specially due to climate change vulnerability. Disparity in healthcare access is more problematic in third world countries like Bangladesh and it occurs at each level: individual, family, social and even in regional variation. Men’s perception about women’s health is not satisfactory at rural-coastal level in Bangladesh and the problem is more deeply rooted in disaster prone areas where early marriage and adolescent pregnancy are just in epidemic always.

In order to assess the socio-economic vulnerability of households, what data would be needed and can be obtained from the National Statistics Institute ?

Educational discourse leads to a defined career path. However, educational revolutions have ensured that we move and transition from conventional militaristic ways of teaching to self-education and flexible expandable ways of learning and teaching. An epistemological crisis arises when there is a realization and a pressing need of more knowledge systems to blossom and take shape. Usually such knowledge systems have existed longer than the knowledge systems we are already used to in our institutions. Epistemology in its simplest form is knowledge production. The creation of knowledge on the basis of what exists, what is known and what is knowable. When learning, knowledge and what is allowed to exist is based on the power associated with that knowledge. From its creators such as the first people to come up with those concepts, the models, the illustrations and demonstrations. The knowledge systems in conventional environments such as higher learning institutions usually does not take into account how such knowledges can be diffused in indegenous communities. Indegenous knowledge systems have sought to be discovered for exploration, recognition and for the mere fact of one not defaulting to ignorance on the basis that knowledge systems are hierarchically matched as superior against each other. On the basis that there exists no objective truth, epistemology has seized to be systematic, categorised, typologised, patternised, or sequentialized, but rather has spread out into fragments, and some knowledge systems have emanated from areas and places not yet explored, they need to be afforded the same attention and effort if they are to sprout into fruition. However, we need to distinguish if epistemology is career oriented, power oriented or simply knowledge oriented.

Can electricity consumption (KWh) be used as an indicator or proxy variable for drought vulnerability assessment? What is the relationship between electricity consumption and drought vulnerability?

I am currently looking for a new research topic for my Ph.D. Specifically, what I did in MA courses was explore the determinants of vulnerability. Here, I consider poverty, covariate risk, and idiosyncratic (household-specific risks) as elements of vulnerability. Then, during my Ph.D. (near future), I want to do my research about land reform and climate change especially in the context of the philippine focusing on CARP and Livelihood by using panel data and some qualitative data. Does anyone have an idea about it?

Dear Colleagues,

Kindly guide how to arrive at the evaluation of inherent vulnerability to climate change of agriculture sector of the economy?. What are the important parameters to consider? At what scale it is to be evaluated?

SCADA, security of SCADA Network, vulnerabilities and security recommendations.

I am working on a project to access the coastal vulnerability. I have different variables like elevation, LULC, bathymetry, etc. of the entire study area.

My analysis steps would loosely be based on the value extraction method followed in this paper ( ). In my understanding, the authors here have extracted the value of different input parameters to some point along the coastline. Then used CVI equation on the attributes of those points to find the CVI value.

My problem is, I have no idea how to transfer these input values to point.

It will be very helpful if anyone could give some hints. I am doing processes in ArcMap.

The image shows part of my study area. The area is covered with elevation raster. The red, green, and yellow points are the points to which I want the data to be extracted.

Is VPR going to replace CVSS or is it going to be an addition to it?

Today being World Mental Health Day

The main objective of this day is to raise awareness of mental health cases around the world. It is even more important today as we still struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, some of the challenges our unjust and unequal world is facing are inequality coupled with corruption, especially in the developing world. It is our responsibility irrespective of how small or big our individual or collective contributions could be, do the very best that we can do to educate ourselves on mental health issues. Accordingly, we can support those we know who are affected by mental health issues of any kind. Some of the limiting factors to offering support are ignorance, unconscious bias, discrimination, stigma, and shame. Therefore let us come together as one in the spirit of common humanity to support our fellow humans! Thank you so much for your time.

What activities can we implement to raise awareness of mental health issues? How can we support those who are affected and vulnerable?

Tourism, one of the biggest and fastest growing sector has been considered as a vulnerable industry i.e. in comparison to other industries, tourism industry gets more affected due to any external or internal shocks or stresses. In this regard, the latest outbreak of Corona (COVID-19) virus has caused havoc across the world. The aim of this discussion is to gather the status of impacts of the virus on various national and international tourism policies, inflow, outflow, and tourism sector as a whole. Please provide any data pertaining to this context.

In this regard, you can consider publishing your work in the Routledge Call for Book Chapters: COVID-19 and Tourism Sustainability: Ethics, Responsibilities, Challenges and New Directions. Click on the link given at the beginning of this discussion!

Basic, preclinical and clinical research has shown the presence of biological differences between the sexes from the beginning of embryonic development and throughout the entire lifecycle. This dimorphism affects health, protective or vulnerability factors, social and relational life, the search for treatment, and responses to therapeutic interventions. However, studies of addiction and dual diagnosis continue to be carried out mainly in male patients. This prevents obtaining knowledge on the specific characteristics and needs of women.

A first step to improve this knowledge is to update the sex and gender differences found in research into addiction and dual disorders. We encourage original research and review articles about sex and gender differences in addiction and dual disorders: preclinical and clinical models; genetic background; neurobiological, psychological, and social mechanisms; vulnerability factors; biomarkers; social and developmental factors; diagnosis and diagnostic instruments; clinical presentation; response to existing pharmacological and psychological therapies; unmet research, diagnosis and treatment needs; and gender perspectives.

COVID-19 has severely affected social, and economic conditions of people in developing countries and has further exacerbated old risks and vulnerabilities. The governmental and non-governmental organizations have announced and implemented different plans and programs to support communities and SMEs for their recovery. How effective are those plans and programs and do they address the underlying issues that contribute to their vulnerability to disasters, including pandemic?

Pregnant women are vulnerable to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They have a higher risk of hospitalization and death than those with no pregnancy.

Safety is a critical issue but pregnant women were not included in COVID-19 vaccine research. They may greatly concern about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines that could harm their fetus.

May 27, 2020. Things are still bound to get worse, for a while. But for a few hundred thousand, so far, you have survived the Covid-19 infection and have now convalesced. There is no evidence proving you can catch it again. If you had evidence of infection by the actual viral secretion test, and have recovered, you should have antibodies built up to fight the Covid-19. These antibodies can be tested on a blood serum test. You should then be able to resume normal activities, without fear of being re-infected. You can also potentially be a donor of those blood antibodies to help those who are seriously ill from the virus, and hopefully this will be established through the usual blood donor clinics, etc. my main point here though, is that you if you are tested immune, you can probably go fearlessly to the frontline and protect those who are still vulnerable from infection. I hope that the confirmatory Covid-19 serology test will soon be freely available, allowing those fearless warriors to protect the vulnerable from the invisible enemy.

More than 25 years ago, Mark Moore from Harvard’s Kennedy School expressed an idea that the task of public sector managers is to create public value.

Within the last decade, the public value approach to public administration has become increasingly hot. Despite a lot of researches and practical cases on the measurement of public value as a product of public organizations, there has been a lack of clarity about how to measure the public value that public organisations produce.

I've read numerous papers about socioeconomic vulnerability assessment and I found out that most of the papers focused on natural hazards and disease(such as COVID-19 pandemic). I can't find anything related specifically to water pollution. Therefore, what are the potential parameters/indicators for adaptive capacity for socioeconomic vulnerability assessment of water pollution?

Based on the article, the indicators are risk awareness, early warning capacity, regulation control and emergency response.

In this article, education, access to mobile connection, income, access to water facilities and health awareness camp were as indicators.

However, the indicators used in this article were in demographic domain such as population growth rate, population density and percentage of illiterate households.

I think the biggest challenge is finding a way on how to quantify it. Another obstacle is the availability of socioeconomic data of appropriate geographical coverage.

Following an influential analysis published in February, a team of Stanford University researchers has conducted the first large survey into the very modern phenomenon of "Zoom Fatigue."Over the last year, millions of people have been working from home. Meetings previously conducted in person suddenly shifted to video conferencing platforms such as Zoom. And as 2020 progressed, more and more people started noticing a unique kind of exhaustion at the end of a day filled with video meetings. Referred to as "Zoom Fatigue," this new phenomenon is now the subject of novel academic research. https://newatlas.com/telecommunications/stanford-zoom-fatigue-first-study-women-more-affected/

So, what do you know about "zoom fatigue" ...Who are the groups most vulnerable to it ??? And why ??? Can its effects be minimized ???

All comments and contributions are welcome.

Hi Folks,

You know that most of the European Countries including UK are in NVZ, and therefore could you please give some idea for longer term how could we reduce Eutrophication / toxic effect from those NVZ?

Tourism is known for pumping income to the local economy while bringing many negative social and environmental impacts. In this regard, tourism distorts the shape of asset pentagon which can make the livelihood unsustainable. Therefore, providing a comprehensive report of the tourism based livelihood financial asset may be sustainable, but social asset may be unsustainable. In this context, can tourism be a source of sustainable livelihood? And if yes, kindly throw some light upon potential of tourism substituting a primary source of income as agriculture or fishing.

I am working on a dissertation and I want to measure the vulnerability to cognitive delusions in depression. I am doing an calitative research with case studies.

I am currently synthesising polymers in DMF through a simple Michael addition. In the current procedure, the polymer is isolated by precipitiation when added to cold diethyl ether (crashes out into a viscous mass when vortexed). After repeat washings with ether and overnight drying, the NMR data shows residual DMF still present in the sample.

As the polymer is vulnerable to hydrolysis, is there any way to fully remove the DMF without aqueous washes?

Researchers usually define the Drought Risk Index (DRI) as the multiplication of Drought Hazard Index (DHI) and Drought Vulnerability Index (DVI) or DRI = DHI×DVI. Besides adding the Drought Resilience Index (DREI), in our study, we consider using geometric mean to aggregate the different components in the risk index. Geometric mean is chosen for its simplicity in calculation and application compared to other methods. Furthermore, high accuracy has been reported when the geometric mean is applied in composite indices making it widely used.

Hi RG colleagues,

Is anyone familiar with a good climate-related vulnerability scale? I have not landed on a valid climate-related psychological vulnerability scale so far. Now I am wondering if someone can make a recommendation. Please advise if adapting The Psychological Vulnerability Scale would be a good idea? The psychological vulnerability scale is a 6 items scale (PVS; Sinclair & Wallston, 1999). I have used it in the past with high reliability in the covid related PVS.

Best wishes,

Gulnaz

Underlying health conditions that play a role in increasing vulnerability to coronaviruses and risks of higher mortality among young adults and children

Most of the elder people in Africa is facing a lot of trouble concerning their welfare and they are affected by many difficulties, making them vulnerable to poverty. So the research about this issue a relatively scarce, what is demand a full intervention to clarify it. This is the reason for my question, What is the big problem that make elder people vulnerable in Africa?

Climate change and agriculture are interrelated processes, both of which take place on a global scale. Climate change affects agriculture in a number of ways, including through changes in average temperatures, rainfall, and climate extremes (e.g., heat waves); changes in pests and diseases; changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and ground-level ozone concentrations; changes in the nutritional quality of some foods;[1] and changes in sea level.[2]

Climate change is already affecting agriculture, with effects unevenly distributed across the world.[3]Future climate change will likely negatively affect crop production in low latitude countries, while effects in northern latitudes may be positive or negative.[3] Climate change will probably increase the risk of food insecurity for some vulnerable groups, such as the poor.[4] Animal agriculture is also responsible for CO2 greenhouse gas production and a percentage of the world's methane, and future land infertility, and the displacement of local species.

In conducting a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment at the household level using a survey questionnaire, there is a need to ask participants how they characterize their experience of various hazards in terms of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Is there a set of categories for each of the factors of vulnerability?

Evaluation of vulnerability of school children below 10 years being investigated.

We have seen the lack of preparedness to manage the emergency health crisis and almost locked everything other than Corona when it was out of control. It was almost same across the world and after the crisis we have to think more about the reformation of healthcare system. Global cases top 11 million already and COVID-19 causes more than half a million deaths worldwide. The elderly with comorbidity are more vulnerable. The healthcare system everywhere is focusing mainly on COVID-19 management. Unluckily many more patients mainly old cases with hypertension, cardiac problems, chronic obstructive lung diseases or cancers are not getting priority and deaths are acceptable in silence. The vulnerability is more in poor and low income countries where they can’t afford to provide all the necessary healthcare together during the Corona crisis. We saw lots of disparity in healthcare even within the country with regional variations.
