Aim. Today, there is a pressing matter of protection against steganography-based attacks against information systems. These attacks present a danger as they use the most common data files – especially graphics files – as containers that deliver malicious code to a system or cause a leak of sensitive information. Developing methods of detecting such hidden information is the responsibility of a special subsection of steganography, the steganalysis. Such methods should be extensively used in computer forensics as part of security incident investigation, as well as in automated security systems with integrated modules for analyzing data files for malicious or dangerous information. An important feature of such activities is the need to examine a wide variety of elements and containing files. In particular, it is required to verify not only the colour values of the pixels in images, but their frequency characteristics as well. This raises a number of important questions associated with the best practices of applying steganalysis algorithms and making correct conclusions based on the outputs. The paper aims to briefly analyse the most important and relevant methods of steganalysis, both spatial and frequency, as well as to make conclusions regarding their performance and ways to analyse the outputs based on the test results of the software that implements such methods. Methods. The steganalysis of concealment within the least significant bits of an image’s pixels uses Pearson’s Chi-square statistical analysis, as well as the Regular-Singular method that involves signature analysis of pixel groups and analytical geometry tools for estimating the relative volume of the hidden message. The Koch-Zhao method of steganalysis is used for the purpose of detecting information embedded in the frequency-domain image representation. It also allows identifying the parameters required for extracting the hidden message. Results. A software suite was created that includes the software implementations of the analysed methods. The suite was submitted to a number of tests in order to evaluate the outputs of the examined methods. For the purpose of testing, a sample of images of various formats was compiled, in which information was embedded using a number of methods. Based on the results of the sample file analysis, conclusions were made regarding the efficiency of the analysed methods and interpretation of the outputs. Conclusion. Based on the test results, conclusions were made on the accuracy of the steganalysis methods in cases of varied size of the embedded message and methods of its concealment. The patterns identified with the help of the analysis outputs allowed defining a number of rules for translating the outputs into conclusions on the identification of the fact of detection of hidden information and estimation of its size.

<p class="Normal1"><em>Commitment is the attitude or behavior of likes or dislikes shown by someone against the organization at work. Indonesia is recorded as a nurse who has a low organizational commitment (76%) so it harms services. This phenomenon in the hospital can be seen from the indicator of the high turnover rate of nurses which reaches 30.9% which exceeds the standard &lt;5%. Many factors affect organizational commitment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the Personal Factors Associated with Organizational Commitment of Hospital Nurses. This study is a cross-sectional analytic study and purposive sampling technique with a sample of 59 nurses. Chi-Square test results obtained personal factors that have a relationship with organizational commitment Nurse Hospital is age with p = 0,000 and education with p = 0,000, personal factors not related to organizational commitment are gender p = 1,053 and years of service with p = 1,147. Hospitals should conduct research/surveys on Organizational Commitment periodically as an evaluation material in the context of the organization's development and development in the future</em>.</p>

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of cetrimide with or without EDTA solution on the microhardness and surface changes in root dentin. Single rooted human mandibular premolar teeth were decoronated and sectioned longitudinally. The root segments were horizontally embedded in autopolymerizing resin. These specimens were randomly divided into 6 experimental groups according to the irrigating solution used. The irrigating solutions used were 5% EDTA, 5%EDTA + 0.25% Cetrimide, 5%EDTA + 0.50% Cetrimide, 0.25% Cetrimide, 0.50% Cetrimide and distilled water. Each group was further divided into two subgroups. First subgroup specimens were employed for microhardness testing using vicker’s indenter. Second subgroup specimens were used to evaluate the surface changes of root dentin under stereomicroscope. Comparison of the mean microhardness of test groups was done using ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey’s test. Pre- and post- treatment hardness values were compared using student paired t test. The data obtained from surface erosion scoring was subjected to statistical analysis using Chi square test. Results of this study showed significant reduction in the microhardness of dentin for all the groups except for the distilled water (p<0.001). The greatest reduction in dentin microhardness was observed with Group-3 (5% EDTA + 0.50% CTR). Specimens in 5% EDTA group showed greater erosion than other groups. Within the limitations of this study it was concluded that all the tested irrigating solutions reduced the microhardness of root dentin except distilled water. Maximum reduction in microhardness was observed with addition of 0.50% cetrimide to EDTA. EDTA increased the surface roughness of root dentin irrespective of cetrimide association. Use of cetrimide at concentrations higher than 0.25% would be detrimental to the microhardness of dentin.

One of the critical issues in managing information within an organization is to ensure that proper controls exist and are applied in allowing people access to information. Passwords are used extensively as the main control mechanism to identify users wanting access to systems, applications, data files, network servers or personal information. In this article, the issues involved in selecting and using passwords are discussed and the current practices employed by users in creating and storing passwords to gain access to sensitive information are assessed. The results of this survey conclude that information managers cannot rely only on users to employ proper password control in order to protect sensitive information.

Background: Schizophrenia is a clinical syndrome of variable, but profoundly disruptive, psychopathology that involves cognition, emotion, perception and behaviour. Caregiver burden refers to negative response that occurs when the caregiver assumes an unpaid and unanticipated responsibility for the person with disabling mental health problems. The burden varies with socio-demographic parameters of patients and caregivers. Aims & Objectives: To study socio demographic details of schizophrenia patients and caregivers. To assess perceived level of burden in caregivers and it’s association with socio demographic profile of patients and caregivers. Materials & Methods: Ethics committee approval and informed consent was taken. 100 consecutive patients with their primary caregiver, presenting to psychiatry OPD of general hospital, satisfying inclusion criteria, were included in the study. Socio-demographic details of caregiver were collected using semi-structured proforma. Caregiver’s perceived burden was assessed with Burden Assessment Schedule. Data thus obtained, was pooled & analyzed by using SPSS software, descriptive statistics, mean, percentage, Chi- Square test. Results: The sample consisted of 52 female & 48 male patients. Prevalence of burden in caregivers was found to be 52%. The perceived burden was found to be high in caregivers of female patients, patients of older age, less educated, single, and unemployed patients. Majority of caregivers were female and of older age. The burden perceived was found to be significantly high in female caregivers, especially mother.

Introduction: Psychiatric emergencies constitute between 1% - 10% of general emergencies in Spain, of which a quarter will end up being hospital admissions. There is little literature on patients who are referred from general to specialized hospitals. Methods: Cross-Sectional study of all the patients referred in 2018. Sociodemographic variables and clinical variables, such as diagnosis and discharge destination, were analyzed. An analysis was performed by comparing means with the Chi Square test. Results: 433 derived emergencies were analyzed. Most of the patients were women. The main reason for derivation were suicide attempts. Of those patients, 40% required hospitalizations. More than 50% of the derived emergencies were referred to the home and followed up on an outpatient basis. Conclusion: Most derived emergencies are referred to the home after evaluation. This implies that most are not life-threatening and that with adequate tools for evaluating suicide risk, we could avoid transfers and improve the resolution of these cases.
