On codes, matroids, and secure multiparty computation from linear secret-sharing schemes

Error-correcting codes and matroids have been widely used in the study of ordinary secret sharing schemes. In this paper, the connections between codes, matroids, and a special class of secret sharing schemes, namely, multiplicative linear secret sharing schemes (LSSSs), are studied. Such schemes are known to enable multiparty computation protocols secure against general (nonthreshold) adversaries.Two open problems related to the complexity of multiplicative LSSSs are considered in this paper. The first one deals with strongly multiplicative LSSSs. As opposed to the case of multiplicative LSSSs, it is not known whether there is an efficient method to transform an LSSS into a strongly multiplicative LSSS for the same access structure with a polynomial increase of the complexity. A property of strongly multiplicative LSSSs that could be useful in solving this problem is proved. Namely, using a suitable generalization of the well-known Berlekamp–Welch decoder, it is shown that all strongly multiplicative LSSSs enable efficient reconstruction of a shared secret in the presence of malicious faults. The second one is to characterize the access structures of ideal multiplicative LSSSs. Specifically, the considered open problem is to determine whether all self-dual vector space access structures are in this situation. By the aforementioned connection, this in fact constitutes an open problem about matroid theory, since it can be restated in terms of representability of identically self-dual matroids by self-dual codes. A new concept is introduced, the flat-partition, that provides a useful classification of identically self-dual matroids. Uniform identically self-dual matroids, which are known to be representable by self-dual codes, form one of the classes. It is proved that this property also holds for the family of matroids that, in a natural way, is the next class in the above classification: the identically self-dual bipartite matroids.

La terminología hoy: replanteamiento o diversificación

Cet article présente d’abord le panorama actuel de la terminologie du point de vue théorique, quise caractérise aujourd’hui par une grande diversité d’approches comme résultat de l’apparition de nouvelles nécessités au cours des dernières années, qui ont abouti à des usages terminologiques aussi très diverses. Comme réponse à cette nouvelle situation, les auteurs présentent une esquisse d’une proposition pour unenouvelle conception de la terminologie, qui essai d’intégrer des apports du côté linguistique, cognitive et sociale; cette nouvelle approche théorique présente aussi des conséquences importantes sur le planméthodologique et pratique.

La terminologia i la traducció, una interrelació en evolució

La interrelació entre traducció i terminologia es pot descriure des de diferents perspectives. La primera és el paper de la terminologia com a eina cognitiva en l'adquisició del coneixement especialitzat per part del traductor. La segona es refereix a la necessitat permanent de crear nous recursos terminogràfics i actualitzar-ne els existents, pensats per i per a a traductors competents i autònoms en la gestió de la terminologia. És lícit, doncs, considerar el traductor no només usuari de terminologia, sinó també, agent actiu en terminologia.

Representar l’univers referencial: estratègies per a la visibilitat dels processos de socialització a la universitat

Sota el nom d’Univers de la Comunicació Audiovisual definim un projecte que té, com a element més significatiu, la representació visual d’un mapa conceptual format per les referències (autors, obres i conceptes) que tant el professorat com l’alumnat hem considerat més significatives del nostre camp d’estudi. L’ Univers... es defineix també com un espai a internet on podem trobar, a més del mapa conceptual, un espais de debat i un conjunt defitxes que interrelacionen el mapa amb les assignatures dels estudis.El projecte busca apropar i potenciar la participació de l’alumnat en el reconeixement ila lectura crítica del seu autors, obres i conceptes de referència, donant visibilitat al procés ifent-lo públic. Des de l’Univers... proposem una nova aproximació a la competència general descrita com a capacitat crítica de naturalesa multidisciplinària que doti a l’alumnat de capacitat derecerca acadèmica i aplicada. Entenem aquesta capacitació crítica com un procés que vadesenvolupant l’alumnat durant tot el grau. Procés que suposa, en una dimensió individual, assolir objectius com el reconeixement, localització i configuració d’un marc referencial propi, i que permet, en la seva dimensió col·lectiva, participar en la definició i concreció d’un marccomú. Amb aquesta aproximació busquem ubicar les competències generals en el centre del procés de socialització que suposa l’etapa de formació universitària, dotant-les d’un entorn propi que, alhora, es relaciona amb l’espai de les assignatures. El projecte Univers... ha estat desenvolupat pel Deganat i la Unitat de Suport a la Innovació Docent dels Estudis de Comunicació Audiovisual de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra durant el curs acadèmic 2006/2007.

Coupling digital and physical worlds in an AR magic show performance: lessons learned

“Magic for a Pixeloscope” is a one hour show conceived to berepresented in a theater scenario that merges mixed and augmented reality (MR/AR) and full-body interaction with classical magic to create new tricks. The show was conceived by an interdisciplinary team composed by a magician, twointeraction designers, a theater director and a stage designer. Themagician uses custom based hardware and software to createnew illusions which are a starting point to explore new languagefor magical expression. In this paper we introduce a conceptualframework used to inform the design of different tricks; weexplore the design and production of some tricks included in theshow and we describe the feedback received on the world premiere and some of the conclusions obtained.

Do pornographic websites influence boys' sexual behavior?

Purpose: To compare the sexual behavior of adolescent males who do and do not watch pornographic websites. Methods: This study was presented as a school survey. Data were drawn from the 2002 Swiss Multicenter Adolescent Survey on Health (SMASH02) database, a survey including 7,548 adolescents age 16-20. The setting was post-mandatory schools in Switzerland. A total of 2,891 male students who connected to the internet in the last 30 days were enrolled and distributed into two groups: boys who deliberately watched pornographic websites in the last 30 days (n ¼ 942; 33%) and boys who did not (n ¼ 1,949; 67%). Socio-demographic characteristics; frequency of connection to the internet; sexual behavior parameters (having a girlfriend and if yes, for more or less than 6 months; having had sexual intercourse; age at first sexual intercourse; use of a condom at last sexual intercourse; number of sexual partners; having made a partner pregnant). Results: A logistic regression was performed using STATA 9.2. The only significant socio-demographic variable was having a low socioeconomic status (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.66); no difference was found for age and academic track between the two groups. Boys who watch pornographic websites were also significantly more likely to connect frequently to the internet (one day a week: AOR 1.75; several days a week: AOR 2.36; every day: AOR 3.11), to have had sexual intercourse (AOR 2.06), and to have had their first sexual intercourse before age 15 (AOR 1.48). The stability of the relationship with their girlfriend did not appear to have any influence on the search for pornography on the internet. Conclusions: About one third of boys in our sample report having accessed pornographic websites in the last 30 days, a proportion similar to other studies. Watching such websites increases with the frequency of connection to the internet and seems to be correlated with an earlier sexual activity debut among adolescent males. However, having had first sexual intercourse before age 15 is the only sexual risk behavior that seems to be increased when watching pornographic websites among boys. Further studies should address the causality of this correlation and the factors influencing the search for pornography on the web among boys, in order to explore some new ways of prevention about sexual risk behaviors. Sources of Support: The SMASH02 survey was carried out with the financial support of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health and the participating cantons.

Santé et styles de vie des adolescents âgés de 16 à 20 ans en Suisse (2002). SMASH 2002 : Swiss multicenter adolescent survey on health 2002

Le présent rapport décrit les grandes tendances qui se dégagent des résultats de l'Enquête SMASH 2002 et propose quelques hypothèses pour éclairer la compréhension et les enjeux de la situation actuelle ainsi que des pistes de réflexion pour l'avenir. Cette étude repose sur deux approches complémentaires de la santé: l'une donne la primauté aux aspects sociologiques des conduites de santé ("lifestyle"); l'autre, de nature épidémiologique, met l'accent sur la prévalence des comportements et procède à des analyses dans divers sous-groupes ou dans le temps. L'étude SMASH 2002 fournit une photographie de la situation des adolescents et de leur état de santé : besoins et comportements de santé, facteurs associés et évaluation des grands changements intervenus depuis une dizaine d'années. Ces données doivent permettre de réfléchir à une planification optimale des services de soins et des programmes de prévention et de promotion de la santé en faveur des adolescents.
