Cyber Oriented Digital Engineering (CODE) aims to safeguard pervasive systems, cyber physical systems (CPS), internet of things (IoT) and embedded systems (ES) against advanced cyberattacks. Cyber oriented digital engineering pilots are earnestly required to secure transmission and credential exchanges during machine to machine (M2M) zero trust (ZT) communication. In order to construct the CODE pilot as a pivot of zero trust (ZT) communication, systems engineering employing chaotic cryptology primitives has been investigated. The empirical results with analysis of findings on its integration on real life platforms are presented as a pervasive framework, in this work. The focus was bestowed in developing an explainable approach, addressing both ante hoc and post hoc explanation needs. Ante hoc explanation ensures transparency in the encryption process, fostering user trust, while post hoc explanation facilitates the understanding of decryption outcomes. The properties of explainable approaches are investigated, emphasizing the balance between security and interpretability. Chaotic systems are employed to introduce a dynamic layer of complexity, enhancing encryption robustness. The article aims to contribute to the evolving field of explainable chaotic cryptology, bridging the gap between cryptographic strength and user comprehension in CODE pilot based zero trust (ZT) exchanges in multimedia content protection. Thus, this research is a communication brief case containing significant early findings and groundbreaking results studied as a part of a longer, multi-year analysis. Innovative techniques and pragmatic investigations have been discussed as a part of result dissemination in the empirical findings.

Depression is a mental disorder characterized by low mood and affects more than 300 million people globally. Caregivers of children with Sickle cell disease (SCD) experience psychosocial distress which predisposes them to depression. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with severe depression among caregivers of children with SCD attending a large hospital in post conflict northern Uganda. A cross sectional study was conducted at the SCD clinic of St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor (SMHL). Caregivers of children aged between 0 to 17 years with SCD were interviewed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and socio-demographics questionnaire developed by the researchers. Bivariable analysis using chi square test and multivariable logistic regression were conducted to assess associated factors. 310 participants were recruited consecutively of whom 90% were female and 10% male with mean age of 32.7 years. The prevalence of severe depression among caregivers of children with SCD at SMHL was 18.4% and was associated with increasing age of caregiver (adjusted odds ratio (aO.R =1.06, C.I = 1.02-1.10). Having more than one child (aO.R= 0.321, C.I = 0.107-0.967), and extended family type (aOR= 0.284, CI= 0.114-0.537) were protective against depression. The study findings indicate that a substantial proportion of caregivers of children with SCD suffer from severe depression which is mostly undiagnosed and hence untreated. Therefore, policymakers need to focus on designing strategies aimed at controlling and managing depression among caregivers of children with SCD such as routine screening.

CONTEXT: As the financial sector increasingly emphasizes responsible investment, insurance companies are actively seeking user-friendly approaches to incorporate sustainability criteria for equities into their Asset and Liability Management processes. OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to introduce a novel practitioner-centric methodology focused on seamlessly integrating publicly available Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. The objective is also to ensure ease of implementation for companies, emphasizing independence from ESG scoring provided by private data providers. METHODS: The proposed approach involves leveraging accessible sustainability data to construct both a sustainable equity index and a complementary index for non-included shares, utilizing clustering techniques. Subsequently, an efficient frontier is generated through the application of the Markowitz methodology. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through its application to a real portfolio, showcasing stability with a notable emphasis on sustainable assets, guided by the efficient reallocations suggested by the Markowitz model. RESULTS: Both constructed indices exhibit similar trends, with the ESG index outperforming, albeit with slightly higher volatility. This performance discrepancy is mirrored in the strategic asset allocation, where a preference is given to the ESG class over the non-ESG class. IMPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS: The findings suggest the feasibility of a financial institution successfully developing its own cohesive sustainability index using solely publicly available data. While our constructed ESG index demonstrated superior performance in this study, further research involving alternative data sources is essential to generalize this result.
