Application of Machine Learning and Digital Information Technology in Volleyball

Since the 1980s, machine learning has attracted extensive attention in the field of artificial intelligence. Following the expert system, it opened a precedent for the application of machine learning in the field of artificial intelligence and became one of the important topics of artificial intelligence. However, in the field of volleyball, the application of machine learning and information technology in volleyball is extremely limited. Volleyball has not developed widely in society nor has it become a common event in people’s daily life. Therefore, the development of volleyball in China lags behind. Unlike other sports, volleyball requires both strong skills and playing tactics. While taking into account the technical and tactical aspects, the requirements for the comprehensive quality and learning ability of both sides of the teaching are relatively strict. If the application of modern information technology is neglected, it may affect the teaching effect of volleyball and hinder the long-term spread of volleyball. The article starts with the serving, landing, and blocking of two groups of volleyball players with different sports levels. Through the application of machine learning and digital information technology in volleyball, as well as the use of artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, the reaction time and accuracy of judging serving, landing, and blocking are improved, and specific application strategies are further proposed. According to the influence of athletes of different levels on the cognition of volleyball landing points, it can be seen that there are three parts that account for 40% of the allocation.

The probability of military aggression of autonomous AI: assumptions or imminent reality (analyzing the facts of russian war against Ukraine)

The application of modern technologies with artificial intelligence in all spheres of human life is growing exponentially. There is a real concern that this growth could become uncontrollable. The lack of public, state and international control over artificial intelligence technologies creates large-scale risks of using such software and hardware that inevitably affect or, conversely, intentionally harm humanity. The events of recent weeks and Russia's war against democratic Ukraine confirm the thesis that the uncontrolled use of AI, especially in the military sphere, can lead to complete non-compliance with the moral norms of the use of controlled AI or the spontaneous emergence of aggressive autonomous AI.
 The development of legal regulation of the use of technologies with artificial intelligence is being carried out rather slow, in comparison to the rapid development of AI technologies, which simultaneously cover all areas of public relations. Therefore, control over the creation and use of AI should be carried out not only by technical regulation (requirements, technical standards, regulations, assessments of compliance with technical standards, control of compliance with technical regulations) but also by the developing of standard laws and specific changes in the information, civil, criminal and other spheres of law, by creating comprehensive legislation and the state supervisory authority in this area.

The “digital pathogen” concept: epidemiological approach to problem of disorders associated with information technologies

The article is devoted to conceptualization of current scientific experience of studying disorders associated with information technologies. Over the past decades, prevalence of information technologies in world modern society occurs with such intensity that detailed study of influence of this factor on health is significantly lagged behind. In the last decade, a number of pathological conditions associated with application of modern information technologies, in particular psychological and psychiatric profile, was described. The new concepts of Internet addiction, gambling, problematic use of technologies, etc., describing individual response of patients, are introduced. At that, lack of fundamental understanding of both etiology and pathogenesis of described conditions due to multiform specifics, high comorbidity and active evolution of digital society. The article attempts to fill this gap and to approach issue on population scale, namely to evaluate from perspective of epidemiological method characteristics of occurrence, spread and termination of pathogenic effects. The analysis of existing studies suggests that causation of emerging disorders is related not only to addictive behavior and prolonged exposure to information flow, but also to different pathogenicity of its particular components, causing various clinical forms of health disorders in individual with different levels of susceptibility. The pattern of new unique pathogen with specific propagation in human population is described - indirectly through digital environment - and capable of replication within specific ecological niche, i.e. digital pathogen tropic to bio-substrates of higher nervous activity. At that, the duration of contact with digital environment is considered as necessary but insufficient cause of development of pathological process that corresponds to empirical data. The most important property of digital pathogen propagation is its ability to replicate in anthropogenic abiotic digital environment, which is conditioned by its nature, mechanisms of accumulation and distribution. It is also noteworthy that basic principles of dissemination of information flows in social networks largely repeat principles of propagation of infectious pathogens in nature and are characterized by unique mechanism and ways of its transmission. It is concluded that in modern conditions there is a need to study problem of pathology associated with digital environment at population level from position of epidemiological method. The important aspects are joint efforts in studying and classifying new pathogen at interdisciplinary level and developing preventive measures.

CLUeFARM is a web platform in the domain of smart farming which main purpose is to help farmers to easily manage and supervise their farms from any device connected to the Internet, offering some useful services. Cloud technologies evolved a lot in recent years and based on this growth, microservices are more and more used. If for the server side, the scalability and reusability are solved in high proportion by microservices, on the client side of web applications, there was no independent solution until the recent emergence of web components. They can be seen as the microservices of the front-end. Microservices and web components are usually used isolated one of each other. This paper proposes and presents the functionality and implementation of a dependable workflow management service by using an end-to-end microservices approach.

Exploring Youth Participation in Food Production through Smart Agriculture: The Cool Factor

Africa has highest percentage of arable land and high percentage of its total population is a youthful population, yet it is faced with food deficit. At the same time Africa’s unemployment records an all-time high. This disconnect point to underutilization of one or more factors of production to facilitate food security, This paper explores various ways in which youth can be engaged in food production by changing the perception of agriculture to be a cool profitable career engagement thus increasing food security and employment. The engagement by the youth in agriculture need not be perceived in the traditional farming but an involved in all aspects of food security chain. This can be achieved through engaging the youth in the development and application of modern technology especially in ICT, focused on food production chain.

The Impact of Covid-19 on the Use of Modern Technologies By Real Estate Brokers

Abstract Real estate brokerage is the activity of matching parties to a real estate transaction. Due to the increasing ease of access to offers posted by sellers and landlords, various challenges in finding solutions that will attract potential customers have appeared before real estate brokers. Given the complexity of the processes in which brokers can participate, the use of modern technologies in real estate brokerage seems to be one way of maintaining and developing the broker industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in the way brokers operate, forcing them to implement or accelerate the use of modern technologies in customer service. Therefore, the main goal of this article is an attempt to diagnose the use of modern technologies and the types of technologies used in customer service by real estate brokers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted in the form of a survey among representatives of the real estate brokerage industry. The answers obtained from the respondents have allowed us to state that real estate agencies use new technologies to a large extent. Over 40% of the interviewees stated that the real estate market has enormous potential for the application of modern technologies. Furthermore, over 70% of the respondents indicated a large or rather large impact of the COVID-19 on the application of modern technologies in the real estate industry. The restrictions related to the epidemic have forced companies to use modern technologies to replace direct contact between the seller and the customer. The research was conducted among real estate brokers in the period between June and October 2020.

Smart Office Chairs with Sensors for Detecting Sitting Positions and Sitting Habits

The health consequences of prolonged sitting in the office and other work chairs have recently been tried to be alleviated or prevented by the application of modern technologies. Smart technologies and sensors are installed in different parts of office chairs, which enables monitoring of seating patterns and prevents positions that potentially endanger the health of users. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of previous research in the field of the application of smart technologies and sensors built into office and other types of chairs in order to prevent diseases. The articles published in the period 2010-2020 and indexed in WoS CC, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases, with the keywords “smart chair” and “sensor chair” were analysed. 15 articles were processed, with their research being based on the use of different types of sensors that determine the contact pressures between the user’s body and stool parts and recognise different body positions when sitting, which can prevent negative health consequences. Analysed papers prove that the use of smart technology and a better understanding of sitting, using various sensors and applications that read body pressure and determine the current body position, can act as preventive health care by detecting proper heart rate and beats per minute, the activity of individual muscle groups, proper breathing and estimates of blood oxygen levels. In the future research, it is necessary to compare different types of sensors, methods used and the results obtained in order to determine which of them are most suitable for the future development of seating furniture for work.

Carbides of transition metals: Properties, application and production. Review. Part 1. Titanium and vanadium carbides

The properties, application, and methods for producing titanium and vanadium carbides are considered. These carbides are oxygen-free refractory metal-like compounds. As a result, they are characterized by high values of thermal and electrical conductivity. Their hardness is relatively high. Titanium and vanadium carbides exhibit significant chemical resistance in aggressive environments. For these reasons, they have found application in modern technology. These carbides are used as surfacing materials for the application of wear-resistant coatings to steel products. It is possible to use them as catalysts in organic synthesis. Titanium carbide is used in tungsten-free hard alloys, carbide steels. Due to its high hardness, it is used as an abrasive and as a component of ceramic cutting tools. Vanadium carbide serves as an inhibitor of the growth of tungsten carbide grains in hard alloys. The properties of refractory compounds depend on the content of impurities and dispersion (particle size). To solve a specific problem associated with the use of refractory compounds, it is important to choose the right method for their preparation and to determine the permissible content of impurities in the initial components. This leads to existence of different methods for the synthesis of carbides. The main methods for their preparation are: synthesis from simple substances (metals and carbon), metallothermal and carbothermal reduction. Plasma-chemical synthesis (vapor-gas phase deposition) is also used to obtain carbide nanopowders. A characteristic is given to each of these methods. Information on the possible mechanism of the processes of carbothermal synthesis is presented.

Recent progress on the mesoscale modeling of architected thin-films via phase-field formulations of physical vapor deposition

Thin-film coatings can be found everywhere in modern technological applications due to desirable electrical, mechanical, chemical, and optical properties. These properties directly depend upon the thin-film’s microstructural features, which are themselves influenced by the materials and vapor-deposition processing conditions used for fabrication. As such, understanding processing-microstructure relationships is essential to designing thin-films with optimized properties, and discovering new processing conditions that allow for novel thin-films with multifunctional microstructures. Here, a short review is presented on recent developments that utilize the phase-field method to simultaneously model the vapor-deposition process and corresponding microstructure formation at the mesoscale. Phase-field-based vapor-deposition models that simulate thin-film growth of immiscible alloy and polycrystalline systems are highlighted in addition to machine-learning-based surrogate models that can facilitate accelerated high-fidelity simulations along with materials design and exploration studies.
