Evaluation of Regional Road Transport Safety Service Level With Edge Computing in Scalable Sensor and Actuator Networks

In contemporary society, road transport has assumed a pivotal role in the daily lives of individuals, with virtually everyone being a road user in one capacity or another. Unfortunately, a significant portion of road accidents stem from user negligence and a lack of awareness regarding road safety principles and regulations. The majority of these accidents are fundamentally a result of human errors, errors that could potentially be averted through the comprehensive utilization of technology. The integration of edge computing within actuator networks, combined with the scalability of sensors, holds the potential to proactively detect and prevent impending collisions. This cutting-edge approach not only accumulates and processes sensor-generated data but also employs it to mitigate the occurrence of road accidents. This discussion delves into the potential advantages offered by smart sensors and advanced technology, focusing on the enhancement of safety within transportation networks. The core attributes of these intelligent technologies facilitate the establishment of robust connectivity and the effective implementation of processes, ushering in an innovative era in the realm of road safety through smart technology.

In Every Detail: Spiritual Care in Pediatric Palliative Care Perceived by Healthcare Providers

ContextSpiritual care is an essential domain of pediatric palliative care. The current mainland China faces a lack of national guidance and a shortage of specialized personnel to provide spiritual care in a traditional developing country. ObjectivesTo identify spiritual care in pediatric palliative care services in mainland China from the perspective of healthcare professionals. MethodsA qualitative descriptive interview study was conducted individually with 27 participants: 14 physicians, seven nurses, and six social workers. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. ResultsParticipants described that the essence of spiritual support was provided “in every detail” throughout pediatric palliative care. Four major themes and eleven subthemes were identified. 1) Assessing spiritual needs: paying attention to different perspectives; considering religion, tradition, and culture; discovering spiritual needs behind other needs. 2) Facilitating spiritual exploration: being with the family; providing resources; guiding by providers’ own faith; 3) Supporting connections: encouraging the building of personal bonds; facilitating the establishment of spiritual connections. 4) Relieving spiritual suffering: facilitating a family review of child's life; supporting building meaning in daily life; assisting in leaving a legacy for the child. ConclusionThis study illustrated that current spiritual support, though not formally organized, is provided individually in pediatric palliative care services in mainland China. Strategies for a practice guide, education and training for professionals, and cultural building need to be rationally developed to strengthen and structure spiritual support integrated into pediatric palliative care.

The Historical Evolution of Russophilia in Europe: a Study of the Development and Transformation of Positive Attitudes Towards Russia

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the historical trajectory, spread, and evolution of russophilia, a sociological phenomenon that exists in contemporary Europe. The article conducts a comprehensive analysis of the developmental process of russophilia in Europe, tracing its origins from the early stages of primitive sympathy towards the Russian state during the Middle Ages to its subsequent conscious ideological-cultural and political-economic manifestations in the 20th century. Furthermore, the article examines the contemporary projection of russophilia, which reached its pinnacle in the aforementioned region during the 20th century, while also exploring the factors contributing to the current decline of russophilia.
 The article introduces a significant scientific contribution by being the pioneering study to comprehensively explore the historical evolution of russophilia in Europe. Previous research on russophilia has been limited in scope, with only a few articles addressing the topic in a fragmented manner. Prior to this article, there has been a lack of comprehensive studies examining the overall development of russophilia in Europe. Therefore, this article stands as the first comprehensive endeavor in this field of research, filling a notable gap in the existing literature.
 Conclusions. The results of the study shed light on the origins and development of russophilia in Europe, examining both Western and Eastern regions. Key factors contributing to russophilia include the influence of communism, particularly the USSR, as well as cultural expansion. Effective propaganda campaigns and the establishment of economic and social connections play crucial roles in fostering admiration for another culture. Ethnic kinship alone is insufficient to foster deep affinity without widespread and systematic propaganda integrated into state policy. Nostalgia for communism, fuelled by shared experiences and the positive aspects of former communist systems, also contributes to russophilia. Countries such as East Germany, Poland, and Serbia etc., which underwent communist rule, exhibit heightened russophilia. The common fate shared by these nations, including the same political ideology, communist culture, and perceived defeat by the capitalist USA, further strengthens russophilia sentiments among communist nostalgics.

Performance Analysis of Connection Establishment Procedure Under Beamforming in 5G NR Networks

High demand for reliability, low latency, seamless connectivity lead to the 5 G era. 5 G cellular networks employ a random access based preamble transmission procedure for the initial locking of User Equipment (UEs) to a base station (gNB) and uplink resource scheduling. It is of utmost importance that we evaluate the factors that aid and those that limit the random access procedure in achieving its envisaged goal. In this paper, we develop an analytical model for random access procedure for connection establishment in 5 G when beamforming is employed. The random access medium is modelled as a multi-channel slotted Aloha system. We use an equilibrium point analysis framework to derive the performance metrics namely, the rate at which UEs can lock on to a gNB and the average and variance of the time taken by a new UE to establish connection with the base station. We analyse the impact of the retransmission limit and the number of available preambles for random access on the performance of connection establishment of a UE. Our analysis brings out the importance of the choice of base station configurations with respect to the user demographics of a 5 G NR cell.

Tri-model classifiers for EEG based mental task classification: hybrid optimization assisted framework

The commercial adoption of BCI technologies for both clinical and non-clinical applications is drawing scientists to the creation of wearable devices for daily living. Emotions are essential to human existence and have a significant impact on thinking. Emotion is frequently linked to rational decision-making, perception, interpersonal interaction, and even basic human intellect. The requirement for trustworthy and implementable methods for the detection of individual emotional responses is needed with rising attention of the scientific community towards the establishment of some significant emotional connections among people and computers. This work introduces EEG recognition model, where the input signal is pre-processed using band pass filter. Then, the features like discrete wavelet transform (DWT), band power, spectral flatness, and improved Entropy are extracted. Further, for recognition, tri-classifiers like long short term memory (LSTM), improved deep belief network (DBN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) are used. Also to enhance tri-model classifier performance, the weights of LSTM, improved DBN, and RNN are tuned by model named as shark smell updated BES optimization (SSU-BES). Finally, the perfection of SSU-BES is demonstrated over diverse metrics.

The Role of the Establishment of Causal Connections and Elaboration Question Answering Tasks in the Comprehension of Spontaneous Narrative Discourse by Argentine College Students

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the causal connectivity of the statements (low-medium-high), elaboration question condition (focused on the identification of main ideas -focused on the identification of speakers’ emotions) and the modality of presentation of discourse (oral-written) in the comprehension of spontaneous narrative discourse by Spanish-speaking students. With this aim, Argentine college students were asked to listen or read a radio interview, and to answer 4 elaboration questions. These questions were presented after statements that had high causal connectivity and promoted the generation of emotion inferences. Then, they were asked to perform a free-recall and a comprehender’s emotions elaboration task. Statements that had high causal connectivity were more often included in the free recall task than those that had low causal connectivity. And, students that elaborated on main ideas included a higher number of statements than those that elaborated on speakers’ emotions. In the comprehenders’ emotions elaboration task, students who elaborated on speakers’ emotions and read the material included a higher number of statements than those that listened to it. And, the effect of causal connectivity was greater when students read than when they listened to the material.

Controlling coherent perfect absorption via long-range connectivity of defects in three-dimensional zero-index media

Abstract Coherent perfect absorption (CPA), as time-reversed lasing, arises from appropriate wave interference within absorbers, offering flexible control over wave absorption. Typically, this control involves tuning the phase difference between two counter-propagating incident beams. Here, we elucidate the critical role of defect connectivity within three-dimensional zero-index media for realizing and controlling CPA. Specifically, the realization of CPA critically depends on the establishment of long-range connectivity of defects in a specific direction. Once the long-range connectivity is established, the CPA exhibits remarkable resilience against defects’ deformation, changes in size and shape of the zero-index media, as well as variations in number and orientation of incident channels. Notably, a minor disruption to this connectivity will result in a complete reduction of absorption to zero, highlighting an ultra-sensitive absorption property in response to connectivity perturbations. Our findings not only unveil a physical mechanism for realizing CPA but also open up promising avenues for advanced CPA control with versatile functionalities.

Transcriptional control of motor pool formation and motor circuit connectivity by the LIM-HD protein Isl2.

The fidelity of motor control requires the precise positional arrangement of motor pools and the establishment of synaptic connections between them. During neural development in the spinal cord, motor nerves project to specific target muscles and receive proprioceptive input from these muscles via the sensorimotor circuit. LIM-homeodomain transcription factors are known to play a crucial role in successively restricting specific motor neuronal fates. However, their exact contribution to limb-based motor pools and locomotor circuits has not been fully understood. To address this, we conducted an investigation into the role of Isl2, a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor, in motor pool organization. We found that deletion of Isl2 led to the dispersion of motor pools, primarily affecting the median motor column and lateral LMC (LMCl) populations. Additionally, hindlimb motor pools lacked Etv4 expression, and we observed reduced terminal axon branching and disorganized neuromuscular junctions in Isl2-deficient mice. Furthermore, we performed transcriptomic analysis on the spinal cords of Isl2-deficient mice and identified a variety of downregulated genes associated with motor neuron (MN) differentiation, axon development, and synapse organization in hindlimb motor pools. As a consequence of these disruptions, sensorimotor connectivity and hindlimb locomotion were impaired in Isl2-deficient mice. Taken together, our findings highlight the critical role of Isl2 in organizing motor pool position and sensorimotor circuits in hindlimb motor pools. This research provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms governing motor control and its potential implications for understanding motor-related disorders in humans.

Anti-Nogo-A Antibody Therapy Improves Functional Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause sensorimotor deficits, and recovery is slow and incomplete. There are no effective pharmacological treatments for recovery from TBI, but research indicates potential for anti-Nogo-A antibody (Ab) therapy. This Ab neutralizes Nogo-A, an endogenous transmembrane protein that inhibits neuronal plasticity and regeneration. Objective We hypothesized that anti-Nogo-A Ab treatment following TBI results in disinhibited axonal growth from the contralesional cortex, the establishment of new compensatory neuronal connections, and improved function. Methods We modeled TBI in rats using the controlled cortical impact method, resulting in focal brain damage and motor deficits like those observed in humans with a moderate cortical TBI. Rats were trained on the skilled forelimb reaching task and the horizontal ladder rung walking task. They were then given a TBI, targeting the caudal forelimb motor cortex, and randomly divided into 3 groups: TBI-only, TBI + Anti-Nogo-A Ab, and TBI + Control Ab. Testing resumed 3 days after TBI and continued for 8 weeks, when rats received an injection of the anterograde neuronal tracer, biotinylated dextran amine (BDA), into the corresponding area contralateral to the TBI. Results We observed significant improvement in rats that received anti-Nogo-A Ab treatment post-TBI compared to controls. Analysis of BDA-positive axons revealed that anti-Nogo-A Ab treatment resulted in cortico-rubral plasticity to the deafferented red nucleus. Conclusions. Anti-Nogo-A Ab treatment may improve functional recovery via neuronal plasticity to brain areas important for skilled movements, and this treatment shows promise to improve outcomes in humans who have suffered a TBI.

Resource Provision in the Field of Social Assistance in the Conditions of New Social Risks

The purpose of this study was to identify the main ways to provide social assistance to restore the resource potential of victims of emergencies (military conflicts, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, etc.), as well as to highlight the features of training future specialists in the social sphere to deal with new social risks. The study used methods of scientific analysis and generalization, as well as comparing the experience of domestic and foreign researchers and social practitioners who worked with vulnerable contingents in overcoming the consequences of emergencies. The focus is on generalizing the results of the experience of training future specialists in the social sphere to work within an environment of new social risks. Based on the conducted research, it was concluded that for the professional activity of social sector specialists in resource provision in the conditions of new social risks, it is important to direct social assistance to restore the physical, mental and social health of people at all six levels of health, taking into account the peculiarities of their age, social status, as well as ethnic features and the context of the social problem. The main directions of relevant social work with victims of emergency situations have been defined: work on strengthening the family’s potential, establishment of useful social connections in a new environment, the use of art therapy practices to normalize the psychosomatic state of clients, the use of ethnocultural means to increase the possibilities of social adaptation in new conditions. Very important in the preparation of future specialists for the relevant work is the practice-oriented training on the basis of specialized social institutions working with victims in emergency situations, as well as mastering special techniques of self-development and professional self-improvement to increase one’s own resource potential.

Novel Approaches to the Establishment of Local Microenvironment from Resorbable Biomaterials in the Brain In Vitro Models.

The development of brain in vitro models requires the application of novel biocompatible materials and biopolymers as scaffolds for controllable and effective cell growth and functioning. The "ideal" brain in vitro model should demonstrate the principal features of brain plasticity like synaptic transmission and remodeling, neurogenesis and angiogenesis, and changes in the metabolism associated with the establishment of new intercellular connections. Therefore, the extracellular scaffolds that are helpful in the establishment and maintenance of local microenvironments supporting brain plasticity mechanisms are of critical importance. In this review, we will focus on some carbohydrate metabolites-lactate, pyruvate, oxaloacetate, malate-that greatly contribute to the regulation of cell-to-cell communications and metabolic plasticity of brain cells and on some resorbable biopolymers that may reproduce the local microenvironment enriched in particular cell metabolites.

From the history of Spanish translations of Leo Tolstoy’s novel “Anna Karenina” made at different times.

The article discusses some publication features of the Spanish translations of Leo Tolstoy’s novel “Anna Karenina”, made at different times in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The novel “Anna Karenina” has been translated into Spanish numerous times. To date, there are many translation versions that are of great interest in terms of their study and analysis, since each of the versions is a reflection of its historical era, allowing us to explore various linguistic phenomena. The Spanish reception of the novel “Anna Karenina” is considered within the framework of the history of Leo Tolstoy's oeuvre reception as a whole. This paper traces how the historical context and relations between Russia and Spain influenced the perception of Tolstoy in Spain. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of the first translations of the novel into Spanish, which became the starting point in popularizing one of the greatest Russian writer’s work in Spain. We also consider the role of popularizers of Russian culture in Spain, and its significant impact not only on the emergence of new translations of Tolstoy’s works, but also on the establishment and strengthening of Russian-Spanish literary connections.

Involvement of High School Students of General Secondary Education Institutions in Environmental Projects: Theoretical and Methodological Approaches and Practical Implementation

The article considers certain stages of formation of educational and research skills of high school students of secondary education institutions in the implementation of environmental projects. The purpose is to analyse the specifics of attracting high school students of general secondary education institutions to the implementation of environmental projects. The main methods of research were methods of systematization, statistical processing, analysis, observation, induction, deduction, and synthesis used to solve scientific and methodological problems. Results. It is established that the goal of an environmental project makes it possible to choose a range of tasks that should be implemented by a high school student, namely: the object of research and the method of achieving the final result. In accordance with the set goal, the project objectives are determined. The solution of each task is a stage of research. Tasks determine the content of the study, methods, and results obtained. They can include the formulation of a problem, the identification of new facts, the establishment of new connections, a new formulation of a known problem, original conclusions and recommendations for the implementation of the obtained experimental data. The proposed scheme is a model for conducting research on determining water quality in aquatic ecosystems. The diagram shows three stages of step-by-step research. The first one is aimed at selecting the object of research (the main selection of criteria and objects of research is revealed). The second stage is the selection of methods for conducting the experiment. The criteria for selecting experimental sites are disclosed and, accordingly, identifiers for conducting an experiment and implementing an environmental project are given. The third stage is aimed at analysing the results of the study, formulating appropriate conclusions and planning the next stages of the study. The main stages in the formation of scientific research are considered from the formation of the topic, research tasks to the discussion and formation of conclusions of an environmental project. Conclusions. In the process of implementing environmental projects, which is aimed at search activities, high school students improve their ability to perform mental actions, operate in practice with all the acquired skills and abilities. The implementation of eco-projects develops logical and ecological thinking, forms a scientific and practical style of thinking, intuition, and develops interest in natural science. Scientific literature can’t provide deep and thorough knowledge, practical skills and abilities if the acquired theoretical knowledge is not combined with research activities. During their own observations, high school students are convinced that there are close connections between living organisms and the surrounding component, i.e. the environment.

The reception of Iran's state propaganda by the Italian far right: recasting the diffusion of authoritarian discourse and narratives

AbstractThis article examines the reception of the Iranian state's authoritarian discourse by the Italian far right to interrogate the mechanisms of authoritarian diffusion from the point of view of the receiving actors. Coding Iran's state propaganda and searching for overlaps and resonances with the far right's discourse, this article argues that the receiving audience selectively translates the content coming from Iran for the Italian public with the goal of reinforcing its own political discourse. The article contributes to the debate on authoritarian diffusion by providing fresh empirical findings from a rarely studied case study and by shifting the focus to political discourse and narratives. This article also foregrounds the agency of the receiving audience, rather than the authoritarian state's, with the goal of interrogating the resources and infrastructures that enable diffusion, rather than the motivation or the success of the ‘sending’ authoritarian state. This article expands the understanding of complex dynamics of authoritarian diffusion and contributes to examine the establishment of transnational connections between state and non-state illiberal actors in the era of ‘sovranism’ and right-wing populism.

The Role of Influencers in Live Streaming E-Commerce: Influencer Trust, Attachment, and Consumer Purchase Intention

Live streaming e-commerce has emerged as a novel online marketing model. Drawing upon influencer marketing theory, this study examines the mechanisms through which influencers (live streamers) promote consumers’ purchase intention in the context of live streaming e-commerce. A sample of 449 valid questionnaires was utilized to test the proposed theoretical framework. The empirical research findings reveal that customer experience significantly and positively impacts both influencer trust and influencer attachment. Furthermore, trust and attachment established with live streamers are identified as two effective mechanisms influencing consumer decision-making. Notably, influencer attachment exhibits a stronger influence on consumer purchase intention compared to influencer trust. By comparing the effects of Taobao and Douyin live streamers on stimulating consumption and purchase intention, the study demonstrates that live streamers play a crucial mediating role between customer experience and consumer purchase intention. Specifically, the results indicate that consumer purchase intention influenced by top Taobao streamers is stronger than that of Douyin streamers, whereas influencer attachment for Taobao streamers is relatively weaker than that for Douyin streamers. These findings provide theoretical and managerial implications for platforms and live streamers seeking to stimulate robust purchase intentions among consumers by fostering attachment relationships. The establishment of an emotional connection between the live streamer and the audience proves particularly valuable in increasing purchase intention. This research contributes to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving consumer behavior in the context of live streaming e-commerce. It emphasizes the significance of customer experience, influencer trust, and influencer attachment as key drivers of consumer purchase intention. The findings offer valuable insights for platforms and live streamers to optimize their strategies and enrich user data labels in order to enhance consumer engagement and stimulate purchase intentions. Ultimately, this research contributes to the advancement of the live streaming e-commerce field, strengthens the application of data elements in live streaming e-commerce marketing, and guides effective decision-making by industry practitioners.

Distributed and Lightweight Software Assurance in Cellular Broadcasting Handshake and Connection Establishment

With developments in OpenRAN and software-defined radio (SDR), the mobile networking implementations for radio and security control are becoming increasingly software-based. We design and build a lightweight and distributed software assurance scheme, which ensures that a wireless user holds the correct software (version/code) for their wireless networking implementations. Our scheme is distributed (to support the distributed and ad hoc networking that does not utilize the networking-backend infrastructure), lightweight (to support the resource-constrained device operations), modular (to support compatibility with the existing mobile networking protocols), and supports broadcasting (as mobile and wireless networking has broadcasting applications). Our scheme is distinct from the remote code attestation in trusted computing, which requires hardwarebased security and real-time challenge-and-response communications with a centralized trusted server, thus making its deployment prohibitive in the distributed and broadcasting-based mobile networking environments. We design our scheme to be prover-specific and incorporate the Merkle tree for the verification efficiency to make it appropriate for a wireless-broadcasting medium with multiple receivers. In addition to the theoretical design and analysis, we implement our scheme to assure srsRAN (a popular open-source software for cellular technology, including 4G and 5G) and provide a concrete implementation and application instance to highlight our scheme’s modularity, backward compatibility to the existing 4G/5G standardized protocol, and broadcasting support. Our scheme implementation incorporates delivering the proof in the srsRAN-implemented 4G/5G cellular handshake and connection establishment in radio resource control (RRC). We conduct experiments using SDR and various processors to demonstrate the lightweight design and its appropriateness for wireless networking applications. Our results show that the number of hash computations for the proof verification grows logarithmically with the number of software code files being assured and that the verification takes three orders of magnitude less time than the proof generation, while the proof generation overhead itself is negligible compared to the software update period.

Formula for the state of research concerning the problem of crime during Covid-19 pandemic

The corona crisis, in addition to radical changes in the economic, political, spiritual and social spheres, significantly affected the state of crime in the world, and in particular, in Ukraine. The COVID-19 pandemic, having changed crime trends, created the prerequisites for the new types of crimes. The development of our country as a democratic European state requires the development and further improvement of the legal framework for combating crime during the pandemic, the search for new methods of its investigation and prevention. Currently, there are many publications in the national and international scientific community about the Covid-19 pandemic, its negative trends, consequences, etc. But scientific development state of the problem of crime under the conditions of the pandemic remains understudied. Such study will provide a thorough analysis of the development of the theoretical opinion on the mentioned above phenomenon which is possible if the main assessment directions are established. We agree with the position of such scientists as: A.Yu. Baidalinova, Yu.V. Kalinichenko, M.O. Marshuba, who emphasized the need to establish the main research directions of any criminological problem. Taking into account this judgment and the multifaceted nature of the researched topic, we consider it necessary to investigate the state of development of the problem of crime in the conditions of the pandemic in the following directions: elaboration of the conceptual apparatus; assessment of theoretical developments of the national and international scientific community; international cooperation; establishment of interdisciplinary connections and borrowing of individual developments from other disciplines; identification of problematic aspects related to the investigation of crime in the conditions of the pandemic. It should be emphasized that the necessary degree of validity of new knowledge can be formed based on the practical experience of organizations that carry out law enforcement activities at the international level.

Anonymity in decentralized apps: Study of implications for cybercrime investigations

In the digital age, cybercrime facilitated by anonymous communication apps raises significant concerns. Criminals exploit the anonymity provided by these apps, creating challenges for law enforcement and cybersecurity professionals when investigating and combating cybercrime. The complexity of decentralized applications (DApps) without centralized servers further complicates evidence certification. Although anonymity features to protect privacy, they impede the establishment of connections between digital accounts and real-world identities. In centralized server environments, data access for investigations is relatively straightforward. However, this study reveals that DApps present challenges due to decentralized control, anonymity, encrypted communication, and jurisdictional issues. DApps designed for anonymous communication allow users to interact without revealing their identities, making it challenging to trace criminals. While cybercrime investigations in centralized environments involve systematic evidence collection, correlation, analyzing communication patterns, collaboration with agencies, tracking IP addresses, legal authorization, and forensic analysis of digital devices, DApps-based investigations require vital intelligence gathering through open-source techniques (OSINT). This includes retrieving digital footprints, analyzing social media profiles, and tracing ownership information. Moreover, investigators may exploit human vulnerabilities, engage in deceptive communication, or use social engineering techniques to gather information while carefully considering the balance between user privacy and investigative requirements. In this study, we explore the many facets of anonymity in DApps and what challenges they impose for the investigation of cybercrime. The anonymity of users and their transactions in the context of new blockchain and decentralized technology presents difficulties for law enforcement. In the end, our research helps shed light on the complex relationship between anonymity in decentralized systems and the need for fairness online.
