Recruitment has changed over the years. Organisations have started searching for an easy and cost effective platform for personality mining. With the explosion of social networking sites, candidates are now able to choose where they could spend their time online. This has encouraged many recruiters to start using social networking as part of a new cost-conscious approach to personality mining. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Popular online sites include LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. They are growing at an exponential rate, with most of the sites being free to join and, importantly, giving organizations an effective means of attracting today's Generation Y workforce. The purpose of this article is to contribute to emerging theory about the role of social networking sites in the process of personality mining.

Effectiveness of Increasing Realism Into Cybersecurity Training

This article describes how cybersecurity is a field that is growing at an exponential rate. In light of many highly publicized incidences of cyber-attacks against organizations, the need to hire experienced cybersecurity professionals is increasing. The lack of available workforce to fill open positions is alarming and organizations are finding that potential candidates with academic degrees and certifications alone are not as valuable as those with experience. Gaining rapid experience requires immersion into realistic virtual environments that mimic real-world environments. Currently, cybersecurity competitions leverage many technologies that immerse participants into virtual environments that mimic real-world systems to improve experiential learning. These systems are expensive to build and maintain, and to continuously improve realism is difficult. However, the training value of cyber competitions in which the participants cannot distinguish from real-world systems will ultimately develop highly experience cybersecurity professionals.

A Review on Nanoparticles: Preparation and Characterization of Nanoparticles

The development of innovative medication delivery systems has increased at an exponential rate in the last few years. Nanoparticles are particles with a size of between one and one hundred nanometers. Nanoparticles provide substantial benefits over conventional drug administration in terms of high bioavailability, high stability, high drug-carrying capacity, and other characteristics. This review concentrated mostly on the classification of nanoparticles, the technique of synthesis, the evaluation of nanoparticles, and the list of FDA-approved nanomedicines now available on the market.

The fragmentation equation with size diffusion: Well posedness and long-term behaviour

The dynamics of the fragmentation equation with size diffusion is investigated when the size ranges in $(0,\infty)$ . The associated linear operator involves three terms and can be seen as a nonlocal perturbation of a Schrödinger operator. A Miyadera perturbation argument is used to prove that it is the generator of a positive, analytic semigroup on a weighted $L_1$ -space. Moreover, if the overall fragmentation rate does not vanish at infinity, then there is a unique stationary solution with given mass. Assuming further that the overall fragmentation rate diverges to infinity for large sizes implies the immediate compactness of the semigroup and that it eventually stabilizes at an exponential rate to a one-dimensional projection carrying the information of the mass of the initial value.

Road ahead of Indian banking through universal banking and regulatory environment

The challenges staring at banking today need not result in a feeling of inadequacy. The IT framework in India had strong ground and the industry has been showing significant growth rates in the previous years, with the financial sector having benefited immensely from the offerings of IT. Banks have commenced to grow laterally and at an exponential rate. As India develops into a formidable force, it is Information Technology, which holds the key to the process of transformation. The key strengths lie in knowledge processing and as bankers performing this function quite well both for customers as well as for the growth of organizations. This underlying strength will ensure the key to success.

COVID-19 Delta Variant-of-Concern: A Real Concern for Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

The emergence of the COVID-19 Delta variant-of-concern (VOC), a novel variant of SARS-CoV-2, has threatened the total health systems throughout the world. This highly contagious strain is spreading at a higher exponential rate than any other variants of COVID-19 by infecting and subsequently killing hundreds of thousands of people globally. Among the most sensitive groups, pregnant women are at high risk of increased hospitalization, pneumonia, respiratory support, and admission to intensive care units during the Delta period. Pregnant people with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased chances of Delta VOC infection. GDM patients are nine and three times more likely to be infected by Delta VOC than those pregnant patients suffering from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases and hypertension, respectively. Additionally, they are more vulnerable to Delta VOC infection than wild-type and Alpha COVID-19 VOC ones. Thus, this review critically sheds light on the current scenario of the vulnerability of pregnant mothers, especially those with GDM, to Delta VOC infection.

O Risco da Utilização de Produtos Cosméticos Falsificados / The Risk of Using Counterfeit Cosmetic Products

Resumo: A indústria de cosméticos possui grande destaque na economia brasileira e mundial. Esse setor está crescendo em ritmo exponencial e no ano de 2018 faturou 109,7 bilhões de reais. O Brasil ocupa o quarto lugar no ranking de países que mais consomem produtos e serviços de beleza. Devido ao custo dos produtos comercializados por grandes empresas, uma parcela dos consumidores opta por comprar produtos falsificados disponíveis no mercado paralelo, expondo a sua saúde a riscos, uma vez que os produtos vendidos de forma ilegal não são fiscalizados pelas agências sanitárias e estes podem conter desde microrganismos patogênicos a produtos tóxicos. O presente estudo tem por objetivo realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a segurança e os riscos associados a produtos cosméticos falsificados. Para isso foram analisadas publicações na literatura referentes ao tema proposto, com escolhas de artigos nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol publicados em periódicos como Scielo, Google Acadêmico e PubMed entre os anos de 2005 a 2021. Foram encontrados relatos de presença de microrganismos patogênicos, metais pesados e possíveis reações adversas que os cosméticos falsificados podem causar. Os cosméticos falsificados representam grande risco para a saúde humana, uma vez que não possuem certificação e muitas das vezes o rótulo do produto não condiz com o que realmente é encontrado nos produtos. Abstract: The cosmetics industry has great prominence in the Brazilian and world economy. This sector is growing at an exponential rate and in 2018 it had revenues of 109.7 billion reais. Brazil occupies fourth place in the ranking of countries that consume the most beauty products and services. Due to the cost of products sold by large companies, a portion of consumers chooses to buy counterfeit products available on the parallel market, exposing their health to risks, since products sold illegally are not inspected by health agencies and these may contain from pathogenic microorganisms to toxic products. This study aims to carry out a literature review on the safety and risks associated with counterfeit cosmetic products. For this, publications in the literature referring to the proposed topic were analyzed, with choices of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish published in journals such as Scielo, Academic Google and PubMed between the years 2005 to 2021. Reports of the presence of pathogenic microorganisms were found, heavy metals and possible adverse reactions that counterfeit cosmetics can cause. Counterfeit cosmetics pose a great risk to human health, since they do not have certification and often the product label does not match what is actually found on the products.

Poverty, Cybercrime and National Security in Nigeria

The number of poor people in Nigeria continues to grow at an exponential rate, while Nigeria remains the poverty capital of the world. As a result, cybercrime has become a haven for youths. The festering of cybercrime increases the chances of cyberterrorism, hate speech proliferation, and radicalization – all of which pose a danger to national security in Nigeria. As a result, this study adopts an analytic approach to the interplay of poverty, cybercrime, and national security in Nigeria. The findings reveal that poverty is a major driver of cybercrime in Nigeria while cybercrime is a threat to national security. It shows that with the prevalence of poverty, deprivation, and inequality, many Nigerian youths turn to crime to realize the Nigeria of their dreams. In the same vein, cybercrime undermines national security by exposing various individuals to violence, cyberespionage, cyberstalking, and manipulation. The study, therefore, recommends that decisive policies be targeted at reducing poverty incidence in Nigeria and that youths should be regularly sensitized to the dangers of cybercrime and the incapacitating effect it has on national security. More so, cybersecurity should be given prominence by the Cyber Advisory Council while offenders of cybercrime should be dealt with using the full extent of the law, to serve as a deterrence to intending offenders.

Measurements of Energy Loss of Charded Particles Travelling in Crystalline Materials along the Channeling Directon

A method for determining the energy loss and mean dechanneling distance of light charged particles traveling along a low index axis of a crystal in the backscattering geometry, is presented. The method is based on nuclear resonance reactions which act as a marker for the range in the backscattering spectra. Computer simulations based on the assumption of an exponential rate of dechanneling of the incoming particles in the crystalline material, are in good agreement with measured spectra. The results of applying this method to protons and alphas in crystals of Si, SiO2, SiC and MgO are discussed and possible improvements are indicated.
