Spatiotemporal Inconsistency Learning and Interactive Fusion for Deepfake Video Detection

With the rise of the metaverse, the rapid advancement of Deepfakes technology has become closely intertwined. Within the metaverse, individuals exist in digital form and engage in interactions, transactions, and communications through virtual avatars. However, the development of Deepfakes technology has led to the proliferation of forged information disseminated under the guise of users’ virtual identities, posing significant security risks to the metaverse. Hence, there is an urgent need to research and develop more robust methods for detecting deep forgeries to address these challenges. This paper explores deepfake video detection by leveraging the spatiotemporal inconsistencies generated by deepfake generation techniques, and thereby proposing the interactive spatioTemporal inconsistency learning and interactive fusion (ST-ILIF) detection method, which consists of phase-aware and sequence streams. The spatial inconsistencies exhibited in frames of deepfake videos are primarily attributed to variations in the structural information contained within the phase component of the Fourier domain. To mitigate the issue of overfitting the content information, a phase-aware stream is introduced to learn the spatial inconsistencies from the phase-based reconstructed frames. Additionally, considering that deepfake videos are generated frame-by-frame and lack temporal consistency between frames, a sequence stream is proposed to extract temporal inconsistency features from the spatiotemporal difference information between consecutive frames. Finally, through feature interaction and fusion of the two streams, the representation ability of intermediate and classification features is further enhanced. The proposed method, which was evaluated on four mainstream datasets, outperformed most existing methods, and extensive experimental results demonstrated its effectiveness in identifying deepfake videos.

Use OF Digital Technology Elements in Investigative Actions Involving Minors

The article examines the problematic aspects of the absence in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation of securing the possibility of conducting investigative actions with children using remote technologies. The concepts of video technology, video communication, its basics, video conferencing and web conferencing are studied. The author analyzes the legislation of such foreign countries as Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Moldova. The positive and negative aspects of consolidating video technologies in criminal proceedings are high-lighted. The author proposes to supplement the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation with a rule on the possibility of conducting investigative actions with minors, regardless of their procedural status, through the use of both video conferencing and web conferences. It is possible to expand the digital format of investigative actions and include in it, for example, checking evidence on the spot, an investigative experiment, resolving petitions and complaints, as well as filing charges, familiarizing with the materials of a criminal case, etc.

The future of prison visits? An autoethnographic perspective on the developments of the digitisation of prison visits during COVID-19

This article explores the current status, evolution, and envisaged future of prison visits, analysing the shift in paradigm from traditional models to an increasingly digital format that demands specific policy amendments and fosters an empathetic approach towards incarceration. The discourse begins with an in-depth examination of the current prison visitation models, delving into the strengths, weaknesses, and potential of both in-person and video visitations. This exploration uncovers the critical shortcomings of in-person visits, such as limited accessibility due to geographical and logistical constraints, and the rising potential of video visits to bridge these gaps. Simultaneously, we highlight the challenges in implementing video visitation systems, focusing on issues such as equitable access to technology, appropriate surveillance, and privacy regulations. It underscores the need for considering both sides of the coin, i.e., the convenience and feasibility of video visits versus the potential risks to the privacy and dignity of incarcerated people and their families. The article then delves into the policy considerations necessary to ensure a smooth transition to video visitations, exploring regulatory and statutory amendments needed to safeguard incarcerated individuals' rights and ensure a more humane prison system. The analysis uncovers a pressing need for a robust framework that not only respects privacy rights and promotes familial ties but also supports an important goal of prisons – effective rehabilitation of incarcerated people. Proposing an idealised future model for prison visits, the discourse presents a hybrid approach that skilfully combines the strengths of both in-person and video connections. This innovative model reimagines the future of prison visits, suggesting a shift from punitive and impersonal methods to empathetic and relationship-focused practices that align with contemporary understandings of rehabilitation.

Awarding academic titles as a public service: Optimization of administrative procedures and transition to a digital model

The transition to a digital model of providing the public service of conferring academic titles implies fundamental changes in this public institution, which are associated with both the need to make a technological map for digitizing the service and optimization of the very procedure for awarding academic titles. The paper discusses technological and institutional aspects of providing the public service of conferring academic titles in a digital form. The theories of public administration and public services, digitalization, jurisprudence and project management constitute the methodological framework of the article. The classical research methods, such as analysis and synthesis, are used. The empirical data are obtained through integration of the legal acts regulating the principles and mechanisms for rendering public services and conferring academic titles with the project documents of the Department of Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Workers Certification of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. We indicate the need to legalize the procedures for initiating the nomination of an applicant for academic titles and justify the attribution of academic titles to the academic rights of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers. Special focus of the study is on the reorganization of the academic titles institution and its role in assessing scientific qualifications and developing academic career. We address the controversial issue of granting the leading universities the right to independently confer academic titles (transition to a hybrid format) and emphasize the importance of balance between local and centralized regulation. In prospect the initiative to update the quantitative requirements and criteria for applicants for academic titles should be a key tool in revising the content of academic titles.

Experimental investigation on fiber laser micro drilling of Titanium grade 5: fabrication, nature-inspired optimization and analysis through image processing

This investigation showed that micro holes were created on Titanium grade 5 substrate surface using a 30 W fiber laser. The impact of the control factors such as scan speed, frequency, number of passes and power were studied on the responses namely heat affected zone (HAZ), hole circularity (HC) and deviation in diameter (DIV). The control factors were optimized using firefly algorithm. Mathematical models were developed for each response having significant R-square value. 3D surface plots were used to examine how the control parameters affected the response. The firefly algorithm identifies the optimal conditions for micro drilling as scan speed of 210 mm s−1, frequency of 40 kHz, power of 8 W and total of 40 passes which improved experimental findings i.e. HC-0.974, DIV-37.02 μm and HAZ-19.53. After comparing the predicted values with the experimental findings, it was observed that the prediction error is lowest for HC (1.23%) followed by DIV (13.9%) and HAZ (16.9%). Image processing technique was used to convert regular images into a digital format to extract useful information.

Assistive technologies for visual impairments: Development and validation of self‐efficacy scale for preservice teachers

AbstractThis article describes the development and validation process of a scale designed to assess the assistive technology (AT) knowledge of preservice special education teachers related to visual impairment (VI). The scale was administered to two groups of preservice special education teachers, and data from the first group (N = 291) were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results of the EFA revealed that the scale had a five‐factor structure, which included “braille technologies,” “accessibility for documents and software,” “AT for diverse needs,” “AT for accessing print,” and “AT for transforming content into accessible digital format.” Based on the findings of the EFA, the researchers revised the scale and applied it to the second group of preservice teachers (N = 119) to confirm the five‐factor structure through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The fit indices calculated during the CFA indicated a good model fit. By following a systematic approach, a valid 23‐item scale for assessing AT knowledge related to VI was developed. This study offers a useful assessment tool and knowledge constructs for designing AT courses.

Computer vision digitization of smartphone images of anesthesia paper health records from low-middle income countries

BackgroundIn low-middle income countries, healthcare providers primarily use paper health records for capturing data. Paper health records are utilized predominately due to the prohibitive cost of acquisition and maintenance of automated data capture devices and electronic medical records. Data recorded on paper health records is not easily accessible in a digital format to healthcare providers. The lack of real time accessible digital data limits healthcare providers, researchers, and quality improvement champions to leverage data to improve patient outcomes. In this project, we demonstrate the novel use of computer vision software to digitize handwritten intraoperative data elements from smartphone photographs of paper anesthesia charts from the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali. We specifically report our approach to digitize checkbox data, symbol-denoted systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and physiological data.MethodsWe implemented approaches for removing perspective distortions from smartphone photographs, removing shadows, and improving image readability through morphological operations. YOLOv8 models were used to deconstruct the anesthesia paper chart into specific data sections. Handwritten blood pressure symbols and physiological data were identified, and values were assigned using deep neural networks. Our work builds upon the contributions of previous research by improving upon their methods, updating the deep learning models to newer architectures, as well as consolidating them into a single piece of software.ResultsThe model for extracting the sections of the anesthesia paper chart achieved an average box precision of 0.99, an average box recall of 0.99, and an mAP0.5-95 of 0.97. Our software digitizes checkbox data with greater than 99% accuracy and digitizes blood pressure data with a mean average error of 1.0 and 1.36 mmHg for systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively. Overall accuracy for physiological data which includes oxygen saturation, inspired oxygen concentration and end tidal carbon dioxide concentration was 85.2%.ConclusionsWe demonstrate that under normal photography conditions we can digitize checkbox, blood pressure and physiological data to within human accuracy when provided legible handwriting. Our contributions provide improved access to digital data to healthcare practitioners in low-middle income countries.

Effectiveness of digital and analog learning methods for learning anatomical structures in physiotherapy education

BackgroundAccording to the German Physiotherapy Education and Qualification Regulations, teaching of anatomical structures is one of the fundamental subjects of physiotherapy education. Besides exhibits and models, anatomy atlases are usually used as teaching and learning tools. These are available in both analog form such as printed books or in digital form as a mobile application. Furthermore, the use of digital teaching and learning tools is steadily increasing within the education of health professionals.AimTo assess the efficacy of a digital educational tool in contrast to an analog anatomical atlas in acquiring knowledge about anatomical structures.Material and methodThe data collection took place in the context of an anatomy tutorial for students of the bachelor’s degree program in physiotherapy. In a cross-over design, the students completed two learning assignments, each, with different learning materials provided, either with an anatomy app on a tablet or with an anatomy atlas as a book. The tests to assess the newly acquired knowledge immediately after the task, consisted of questions about the anatomical structures of the knee as well as the shoulder. In addition, the students’ satisfaction with the learning materials provided was surveyed using a questionnaire. The survey assessed their satisfaction, their assessment of learning success, and their affinity to digital learning materials. This was done using a 5-point Likert scale and a free-text field. The data was analyzed descriptively, and group differences were calculated using a t-tests.ResultsThirty students participated. The group comparison showed a significantly better outcome for the group that prepared with the analog anatomy atlas for the questions on the knee than the comparison group that used the anatomy app (t(28) = 2.6; p = 0.007). For the questions concerning the shoulder, there was no significant difference between the digital and analog groups (t(28) = 1.14; p = 0.26). The questionnaire revealed that satisfaction with the analog anatomy atlas was significantly higher than with the anatomy app. A total of 93.34% rated their experience with the analog learning tool at least “somewhat satisfied”. In contrast, 72.67% of students partially or fully agreed that they “enjoyed learning with digital learning tools”.DiscussionLearning anatomical structures with the Human Anatomy Atlas 2023 + app did not show a clear advantage when compared to an anatomy book in these two cohorts of physiotherapy students. The results of the questionnaire also showed greater satisfaction with the analog anatomy atlas than with the anatomy app, whereas most students stated that they frequently use digital learning tools, including some for anatomical structures. Satisfaction with the learning tool seems to play a central role in their effectiveness. In addition, sufficient time must be provided for users to familiarize themselves with the user interface of digital applications to use them effectively.RegistrationDiese klinische Studie wurde nicht in einem Studienregister registriert.

Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Knowledge Centers? Assessment of the Situation

The study examines the historical journey of information, which started with stone and clay tablets and continued with papyrus, parchment, and paper forms, and ultimately its transformation into digital form with industry 4.0 & 5.0 information technologies (IT), the information age. The developments in IT, that is, computer, network/internet/www, have opened the doors of a new world. Based on these developments, the transformation of information and information resources into digital form, their inclusion in computers and networks, their movement at the global level (www), and their visibility and accessibility have revolutionized the world of information. It has opened the doors of a new world where the information transformed into digital form is used with open source software and internet (w2-w3) supported open data and accredited scientific research data supported by big data, and artificial intelligence software enables the information to think autonomously, produce content, speak and show actionable behaviors. The study tries to find an answer to the question that artificial intelligence (AI) could replace information centers that archive, process, manage, and provide access to accredited information and evaluate the situation.

Active interference stations based on radiophoton technology

Problem statement. A modern active interference station (SAP) is built on the basis of digital radio frequency memory (RFR). The CRCP technology allows storing copies of radio frequency signals in digital form, as well as performing their digital processing in order to generate signals with modulation of various types [1]. This technology allows you to create a SAP with the possibility of generating simulated interference (or digital copies of the target). SAP based on this technology has one significant drawback, the band of instant signal processing is limited by the capabilities of an analog-to-digital converter and, in terms of use in electronic warfare equipment, in most cases, does not satisfy the condition - the processing band is equal to the range of input signals [2]. The elimination of this disadvantage is possible in several ways, by increasing the number of channels in proportion to the input signal band to the instantaneous RFP band, by expanding the signal processing band using processing in Nyquist zones. Both ways are not enough effect

Суть и истоки повышения роли финансовой грамотности в современной экономике

The article examines the increasing importance of financial education in Russian society in the conditions of a qualitatively transforming Russian economy, in which events and phenomena significantly change the attitudes of society, knowledge, and understanding of familiar things and circumstances. It identifies three historical stages, which were identified as the origins of the elimination of financial illiteracy, then the emergence and increasing role of financial education, and, finally, the development of the population’s need to acquire competencies in the financial and digital spheres. The author believes that it was financial shocks that provoked state, financial, and educational structures to study international experience and implement a whole range of educational measures in the field of finance. The paper records the theoretical essence and significance of the concept of “financial literacy” corresponding to the second stage and the unfolding of “digital financial literacy” corresponding to the current stage of the economy under the conditions of digitalization. And if the financial education of Russians, as reflected by the indices of the level of financial enlightenment, is growing, then the digital format is difficult for certain categories of the population and scares away by the presence of many fraudulent schemes that bring losses to users. And in order to achieve an increased level of digital financial literacy, effective, innovative pedagogical technologies are recommended, reflecting the prospects and prestigious advantages for those who have mastered modern digital financial competencies.

The format of public events in modern Russia

The subject of the study is the analysis of legal norms in the organization and conduct of public events. When preparing for meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and picketing, the legislation provides for restrictions in order to maintain public order, preserve moral values and protect the interests of citizens. In this regard, the organizers coordinate the permissible number of participants, time, place, purpose of the event with the executive authorities of the subjects or local governments, from which reasonable proposals may be received, about any change, in order to ensure public order and protect the rights of participants in the event. At the same time, it is important to take into account the trend of recent years aimed at holding public events in an online format, in this regard, the main purpose of the study is to substantiate the need for regulatory consolidation of events in a digital format. The research methods are based on a wide application of general methods (generalization, observation), general scientific (systemic and logical), private scientific (sociological and historical) and special (comparative legal and formal legal). Special research methods were mainly used in studying the limits of restrictions during public events. The authors conclude that serious complex restrictions, initially caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and then by the beginning of a special military operation, led to the use of an online format for public events. This entails amendments to the Federal Law "On Assemblies, Rallies, Demonstrations, Marches and Picketing" and the consolidation of a number of conditions: firstly, to provide for an online format for holding public events using digital technologies; secondly, to consolidate the requirements for holding digital events (including the choice of an online platform) and mandatory early coordination of the actions of the organizers with the executive authorities of the subject or local governments; thirdly, to introduce administrative liability for violation of the established procedure for organizing or holding a digital public event.

Evaluation of features and channels of electroencephalographic signals for biometric systems

Biometric systems are essential tools in modern society where most of our personal information lives in digital form. Although there is a significant variety of biometrics, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are a useful technique to guarantee that the person is alive, they are universal, and not falsifiable. Nevertheless, EEG processing needs to address some challenges to become a viable technique to build production-ready biometric systems. These challenges include the adequate selection of features and channels that maximize the quality of the results and optimize resources. This work provides an analysis of which are the most important features and channels for the correct operation of a biometric system. The experimental analysis worked with two datasets and evaluated 19 features belonging to three groups, wavelet-based, spectral, and complexity. Five classifiers were trained: multilayer perceptron, AdaBoost, random forest, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbors. The results found that the best feature for developing a biometric system is the standard deviation extracted from the coefficients of a three-level discrete wavelet transform. Additionally, the experimental results with the two datasets showed that the proposed method for channel selection can reduce the necessary number of channels while maintaining its performance. Our results, from one of the datasets, showed a reduction of 21 channels (from 32 to 11) and indicated that the best channels to develop biometric systems seem to be those located on the central area of the scalp.

Side Effects Reported by Moroccan Medical Students Who Received COVID-19 Vaccines.

Low confidence in the safety of COVID-19 vaccines was found to be a key promoter of vaccine reluctance especially among youth. Furthermore, young adults are an important demographic for building herd immunity through vaccination. As a result, their reactions to getting COVID-19 vaccines are crucial in our fight against SARS-CoV-2. The overall goal of this study was to look into the shortterm side effects experienced by Moroccan medical and pharmacy students after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. A cross-sectional survey-based study to assess the COVID-19 vaccines' short-term AEFIs among Moroccan medical and pharmacy students. The validated questionnaire was delivered in a digital form to explore the side effects (SE) they encountered after the first or the second dose of one of three vaccines namely: AstraZeneca Vaxzevria, PfizerBioNTeck, and SinoPharm vaccines. There were 510 students in total who took part. After the first and second doses, approximately 72 percent and 78 percent of subjects, respectively, reported no SE. The remainder had localized injection site side effects (26%). Fatigue (21%), fever (19%), headache (17%), and myalgia (16%) were the most common systemic adverse effects after the first dose. There were no serious SEs reported. The majority of the reported AEFIs in our data were mild to moderate in intensity and lasted only one or two days. COVID-19 vaccinations are highly likely safe for young adults, according to the findings of this study.

OCR: Optical Character Recognition

Abstract:In many different fields, there is a great need to save the information contained in printed or written documents or ima ges to the computer for later use. An easy way to save the information in these printed documents to your computer is to scan the document and save it as an image file. But it would be very difficult to read or query the text or other information in this image f ile to reuse this data. Therefore, there needs to be a technology that automatically collects and stores information (especially text ) from image files. Optical character recognition is a field of research that seeks to create computer systems that can extract and process text from images. The purpose of OCR is to alter or convert any text or document containing text (such as handwritten, p rinted, or scanned images) into a digital format that can be converted to be processed for greater depth and processing. OCR thu s enables machines to recognize text in these documents. There are some important issues that need to be recognized and address ed in order for automation to be implemented successfully. Characterization of the alphabet and the quality of characters in the document are just some of the recent challenges. Due to these problems, the computer may not recognize characters correctly. In this article, we examine OCR in four different ways. First, we provide detailed information about the difficulties that may arise during OCR. Secondly, we examine the general stages of OCR systems such as preprocessing, segmentation, normalization, feat ure extraction, classification and post
