It will demonstrate the obsolescence of the traditional state‐focused national security paradigm with regards to matters of cybersecurity, as well as the limitations of conventional collective security approaches. It will also outline the Internet's potential as a peacebuilding medium, and the crossroads we currently face between a new era of cyberwarfare or an Internet for “cyberpeace.”

Reassembling Post-Soviet Eurasia: Russia’s Leadership Potential in Conditions of External Pressure

The article examines the change in the world order and its geopolitical, geoeconomic, cultural and humanitarian consequences for Eurasian integration. The stages of transformation of the post-Soviet space after the collapse of the USSR are identified. The main risks for the countries of the region are characterized. It is concluded that medium-term challenges for integration processes include three areas: energy transition, information and communication revolution, including the expansion of digital platforms and the development of large language models, as well as the policy of the United States and other Western countries to contain and slow down the technological progress of Russia, China and other non-Western countries. These challenges pose a threat of consolidating post-Soviet Eurasia on the periphery of world development, but at the same time form the prerequisites for accelerating integration. Recommendations are given on the need to strengthen the scientific and technological direction of integration interaction with the leading role of Russia up to its approval as the main one within the EAEU. This process should be built on the basis of mutual benefit and strengthening trust, strengthening humanitarian cooperation between Russia and its partners in Eurasian integration.

Chemistry of Cyclo[18]Carbon (C18): A Review.

Carbon-based allotropes are propelling a technological revolution in communication, sensing, and computing, concurrently challenging fundamental theories of the previous century. Nevertheless, the demand for advanced carbon-based materials remains substantial. The crux lies in the efficient and reliable engineering of novel carbon allotrope. Although C18 has undergone theoretical and experimental investigation for an extended period, its preparation and direct observation in the condensed phase occurred only recently through STM/AFM techniques. The distinctive cyclic ring structure and the dual 18-center π delocalization character introduce various uncommon properties to C18, rendering it a subject worthy of in-depth exploration. In this context, this review delves into past developments contributing to the state-of-the-art understanding of C18 and provides insights into how future endeavours can expedite practical applications. Encompassing a broad spectrum, this review comprehensively investigates almost all facets of C18, including geometric characteristics, electron delocalization, bonding nature, aromaticity, reactivity, electronic excitation, UV/Vis spectrum, intermolecular interaction, response to external fields, electron affinity, ionization, and other molecular properties. Moreover, the review also outlines representative strategies for the direct synthesis and characterization of C18 using atom manipulation techniques. Following this, C18-based complexes are summarized, and potential applications in catalysis, electrochemical devices, optoelectronics, and sensing are discussed.

The impact of lack of journalistic ethics on social media

With the advent of the third millennium, and the growth of rapid developments in modern societies, a new social-media phenomenon emerged in its pattern, represented by the emergence of social networks (Social Media), which captured the interests of broad segments of the public, until today millions of people use social networks for various purposes. For entertainment, education, advertising, communication, publishing, acquiring skills and experiences, publishing notes and pictures, searching for jobs, dating and marriage, and learning many languages and skills. Despite the positive advantages of these means, it is a double-edged sword, as it have a negative side that affects the entire society, if the door is left wide open, as the ethical and behavioral problems that have emerged as a result of the current communication revolution have found echoes. And it affected contemporary societies, so much as there were many positive aspects as data for this revolution, including facilitating communication between people, giving a role to the simple citizen to act as the one in charge of communication, the decline of censorship and restrictions, the prevalence of media pluralism and many other positives, on the other hand, there are negatives that accompanied this rapid growth in the sector. Communication and flags.

Role of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) for HIV/AIDS

Today it is impossible to think of life without communication. Human history has passed through different stages of evolution, but the present era is being described as the age of communication. Though communication is as old as human history itself, what is remarkable about the present age is the revolutionary changes in the mode of communication. There is no doubt that human communication consisting of exchange of information existed from the dawn of human civilization. Since then, the method of gathering information and the mode of transmitting the same from place to place and person to person have undergone remarkable changes. Scientific and technological advancement have also made it possible to improve methods of preserving vast quantities of information for use as and when we need them. Today what is being described as the communication revolution deals primarily with Information, Communication Technology (1CT). It affects the way we deal with data and information in three important areas: (a) gathering, (b) transmission (c) storage. The aim of the present research paper is to study the role of Information, Education and Communication for HIV/AIDS.

Enhancing Computational Efficiency in Event-Based Optical Camera Communication Using N-Pulse Modulation

Event cameras are bio-inspired devices that have revolutionized the acquisition of visual information by mimicking the neural architecture of the eye. These cameras respond asynchronously to changes in scene illumination at the pixel level, providing high-precision time information with low latency, typically in the order of microseconds. In this work, we experimentally evaluate an optical camera communication (OCC) link using an LED-based transmitter and an event camera as the receiver. We propose n-pulse modulation to encode data, adapting the system to the specific characteristics and operational principles of event cameras. The proposed scheme significantly reduces the demodulation complexity compared to other alternatives found in the literature. Furthermore, a set of experiments considering different camera bias sensitivities, encoding duty cycles, and LED radiant fluxes were carried out. The results showed that the BER performance was strongly dependent on the received optical power and the bias sensitivity. In addition, duty cycles between 0.3 and 0.7 at a 200 Hz transmission frequency presented the best performance, with a BER below 1.25×10−4, which is under the forward error correction (FEC) limit. This work showcases the cutting-edge capabilities of event-camera-based OCC technology and contributes to the ongoing revolution in optical wireless communication (OWC).

Internet Addiction and Psychological Distress: Can Social Networking Site Addiction Affect Body Uneasiness Across Gender? A Mediation Model.

The Internet, with its unlimited information, revolutionary communication capabilities, and innovative potential to expand knowledge, is ubiquitous throughout the world, but it also has significant implications for users' mental health. Given the not yet clearly defined and distinguishable nosographic categories of online addiction and the resulting difficulties in describing the impact on users' mental health, the present cross-sectional study aimed to gain new insights into the relationship between Internet addiction (especially social networking site [SNS] addiction), psychological distress, and physical discomfort, as well as gender differences in impact among users. A sample of 583 Italian speakers (50.8% males; 48.7% females) with a mean age of 30.96 (SD = 12.12) completed an online survey in July 2021. A set of psychometric self-report instruments was administered to assess the study variables. Mediation analyses were performed for both the whole sample and across genders. The study found that men exhibited higher levels of Internet addiction and craving than women, but no differences were found for SNS addiction. Furthermore, indicators of psychological distress (i.e., anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, insomnia, and self-esteem) mediated the association between SNS addiction and body uneasiness, with slight differences across genders. This paper contributes to the existing literature on online addictive behaviors by also highlighting gender differences. The findings underscore the need for educational experiences that can prevent problematic use of the Internet and SNSs.

Analisis Pengembangan Pariwisata Terkait Mata Pencaharian Ekonomi Kreatif

Tourism is a rapidly growing industry globally and is currently a source of employment and livelihood for many people. Tourism development in the region as a development sector cannot be separated from the development of local communities and the construction of supporting facilities. One of the factors in the success of developing a tourist destination is communication. Through communication, opportunities for the popularity of a tourist destination will open up to become more widely known by the wider community. The world of tourism is a sector that can be relied on as a foreign exchange earner so it has a big opportunity to continue to be monitored and developed. This sector is increasingly sought after by the public because tertiary needs are related to the lifestyle patterns of modern society. The higher the economy, education and level of work routine, the greater the demand for travel. The communication revolution that accompanies the tourism industry can be aligned with utilizing promotional strategies through digital means for easy access to fulfill human tertiary needs. The service team targets tourism potential. Rural areas are a source of tourist attraction that utilizes the uniqueness of the region with its natural landscape and original culture. Rural tourism can have an organizational form in the form of a tourist village where all the attractions, amenities and institutions that oversee it come from the initiative of the residents themselves. Rural tourism is a form of memorial tourism, namely activities to remember the past even though in reality, rural tourism tends to divert tourist activities from their daily routine or a kind of escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

The Arab strategy for distance education: a review of the ALECSO 2005 proposal and its current implications

ABSTRACT The global knowledge, technological, and communication revolutions underway today have affected education systems in the Arab world and prompted these countries to reconsider strategies and policies related to distance learning. The responses from Arab educational institutions after the outbreak of COVID-19 have also created the need to re-evaluate the content and significance of the Arab Distance Learning Strategy issued by the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) in 2005. The current study reviews and analyses this strategy in terms of its objectives, content, and its relevance today in these Arab countries. The analysis shows that despite the importance of such a strategy, the original document merely offers guidance, presented as a proposal to persuade decision-makers at the national level to adopt distance education in parallel with face-to-face education. Both the strategy and the plan of execution detailed in the document focus on theoretical issues related to distance education and do not include specific mechanisms that could measure the goals put forth. However, the proposal remains relevant today, and, considering the ongoing response to COVID-19, educational systems and institutions in Arab countries should consider this strategic guidance as they continue to build national policies for distance learning.

The Indian Media’s Interface with Diplomacy

Diplomacy and its institutions have been constantly changing. The manner in which diplomacy was practised in the earlier centuries is vastly different from how it is being practised in the twenty-first century. These changes range from the emergence of the training of messengers, the start of record keeping of diplomatic exchanges, the establishment of resident embassies, codification of formal diplomatic processes, widening domain of actors and issues, the use of multilateral conferences, use of summitry and many others. This evolution has been both a result of and further resulted in changing the larger socio-political-economic dimensions that the world has undergone. Among the myriad contextual changes, the revolution in communications, information and media technology has been phenomenal. This has brought into focus terms like the CNN effect and Vietnam War Syndrome where it is argued that media has had an influence in directing foreign policy choices of countries. Hence, this article seeks to analyse the media’s interface with the most important institution of diplomacy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It specifically focuses on the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India. Has the news media acted either as an impediment or an accelerator to diplomatic practice? Has the information overload caused the diplomatic fraternity to face a loss of autonomy in any manner? With the objective of seeking an answer to these questions from diplomacy’s perspective, the article explores the evolution of the External Publicity Division of the MEA, India. The External Publicity Division as it is generally known has been the nodal division leading the institutions’ interface with the media. The actuality of media’s interface with diplomacy in India’s case will be set in the backdrop of the existing literature in the fields of media, diplomacy and foreign policy.
