Background: In two experiments we examined whether lie tellers, after reading articles about the Model Statement interview tool and/or about the verbal cues complications, common knowledge details and self-handicapping strategies, can successfully use countermeasures by adjusting their statements so that they sound like truth tellers. We also examined whether the presence of an interpreter affect these results. Method: In both experiments, truth tellers discussed a trip they had made; lie tellers fabricated a story. Participants were of Lebanese, Mexican and South-Korean origin. Prior to the interview participants in Experiment 1 did or did not receive information about (i) the working of the Model Statement tool and (ii) three types of verbal detail: complications, common knowledge details and self-handicapping strategies. In Experiment 2 the Model Statement Pre- Information factor was replaced by the presence/absence of an interpreter. Results/Conclusions: We found no evidence that lie tellers adjusted their responses after being informed about the Model Statement and / or the types of detail we examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), nodes are vulnerable to security attacks because they are installed in a harsh environment with limited power and memory, low processing power, and medium broadcast transmission. Therefore, identifying threats, challenges, and solutions of security and privacy is a talking topic today. This article analyzes the research work that has been carried out on the security mechanisms for the protection of WSN against threats and attacks, as well as the trends that emerge in other countries combined with future research lines. From the methodological point of view, this analysis is shown through the visualization and study of works indexed in databases such as IEEE, ACM, Scopus, and Springer, with a range of 7 years as an observation window, from 2013 to 2019. A total of 4,728 publications were obtained, with a high rate of collaboration between China and India. The research raised developments, such as advances in security principles and defense mechanisms, which have led to the design of countermeasures in intrusion detection. Finally, the results show the interest of the scientific and business community in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) to optimize performance measurements.

El régimen jurídico de las contramedidas constituye uno de los temas de relevancia y actualidad en el Derecho Internacional Público. Tiene su origen en las llamadas medidas de autotutela. Las contramedidas constituyen un elemento de un sistema descentralizado por el cual los Estados, al ver lesionado su derecho, pueden buscar la restauración de la relación jurídica con el Estado responsable, que se ha roto por el hecho internacionalmente ilícito, sin uso de la fuerza y siendo adoptadas temporal y reversiblemente. El Derecho Internacional recurre a esta figura con el cuidado de mantener el equilibrio entre su aceptación y la conveniencia de su aplicación.

El presente trabajo realiza un análisis bibliográfico exploratorio del tipo de ataque Timing Attack (TA) de On The Side Channel Attack (SCA) en RSA. Para lo cual, se analizaron los activos de información, los modos de operación y las contramedidas efectuadas de 22 artículos. Los resultados evidencian que el activo de información que más ataques tuvo son las tarjetas inteligentes (32%), la contramedida mayormente aplicada es el cegamiento (33%) y los modos de operación más utilizados son el Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) o Montgomery Multiplication (MM) con CRT (41%). Adicionalmente se evidencia que sólo un ataque fue realizado a los sistemas de telecomunicaciones, lo cual permite plantear trabajos futuros en el análisis de la misma técnica con base en las tecnologías WiMAX y el protocolo SIP de VoIP.

Shale gas development throughout the world has resulted in a revolution in the field of global energy and has also become an important topic in China in recent years. While organic-rich shale is widely distributed in China and the initial commercialization of shale gas has been achieved, the research, exploration, and development of shale gas remain at an early stage. Problems exist with crucial technologies, innovation, institutional mechanisms, environmental protection, and other aspects of the industry. The shale gas exploration and development industry in China can learn from the experiences of other countries and strengthen its position in the market, with the support of new government policy. Given its unique geological conditions, China should speed up the introduction of technical innovation and establish its unique systems and methods for shale gas exploration and development.

Este artículo habla de la experiencia de Thomas Kuhn como físico: su educación en la disciplina, su servicio como experto durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y su investigación doctoral. Estudiamos un lapso de tiempo que va de 1940 a 1951. El objetivo en última instancia es ofrecer base empírica para valorar una afirmación como la de Mara Beller (1999), que dice que la descripción kuhniana de la ciencia normal está parcialmente basada en circunstancias y experiencias personales, no sólo en los datos históricos o en la evidencia disponible de la sociología de la ciencia. En este artículo se establece que dicha tesis es plausible.

Los traumatismos causados por los accidentes de tránsito en el mundo se han convertido en las últimas décadas en un problema creciente de salud pública a nivel mundial que demanda una atención inmediata. El programa iRAP (International Road Assessment Programme) plantea la posibilidad de realizar una evaluación de la seguridad que tienen los usuarios dentro de las redes viales con el objetivo de establecer medidas que reduzcan el gran número de muertos y heridos graves que actualmente se están presentando en los países en vías de desarrollo. En el presente trabajo se plasma la aplicación de algunos de los protocolos que conforman la metodología del programa iRAP, haciendo uso de la herramienta informática de reciente desarrollo ViDA-iRAP, tomando como objeto de estudio, un tramo de la red troncal de carreteras de México, correspondiente a un camino de altas especificaciones.

In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran is threatening a possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a coastal State. Concern about the negative effects that could lead the closure, especially from the economic point of view, given that is the strait with greater traffic of oil in the world, leads us to analyze whether the closure would be legitimate. We wonder if from the point of view of International Law Iran has the right to close the Strait of Hormuz or, where appropriate, to impose passage rates. An analysis that focuses mainly on the rules of the Law of Sea concerning the international straits, not to mention some aspects of international responsibility, as is the score on the possible closure as a countermeasure against the sanctions imposed by the United States of America and some States of the European Union.

La denegación de identidad en Internet es materia obligada en muchas actividades realizadas en Internet, tales como obtención e intercambio de datos y las comunicaciones personales. Hoy en día cualquier persona publica información privada sin el mas mínimo cuidado acerca de la protección de su identidad, haciendo muy fácil la investigación de información personal sobre lo que le gusta y no le gusta, incluyendo información privada personal. Este artículo intenta mostrar como la tecnología puede ser usada para obtener información de su persona y qué medidas y estrategias pueden ser usadas (incluso de forma gratuita) para proteger su identidad en Internet.

The article explores the experiences of American physicist Thomas Kuhn from 1940 to 1951, with a focus on his field training, his accomplishments as a physicist during World War II and his doctoral research. The author emphasizes that Kuhn valued creativity as an inherent element in any intellectual activity, which he applied to his own work since being a young physicist. Kuhn's participation in the development of battlefield radar countermeasures for the U.S. Navy, in conjunction with the U.S. National Defense Research Committee during World War II, is discussed. The author elaborates on Kuhn's doctoral research under the supervision of the American physicist John Hasbrouck Van Vleck.
