Assessment of population satisfaction with the quality of general medical practice in the subject of the Russian Federation: pilot investigation

Introduction. Patient satisfaction is one of the most important indicators of the quality of the health care noted in the priority objectives of state policy this area. 
 The aim of the study was to assess satisfaction with the quality of medical care provided by a general practitioner (GP), using the example of the activities of the Stupino Regional Clinical Hospital of the Moscow Region. 
 Materials and methods. The international EUROPEP questionnaire was used. Statistical processing of the study materials was performed using Statistica 10 and SAS JMP 11.
 Results. Respondents highly evaluated the provision of medical care 17,87 ± 3,05 (17,04; 18,70, p = 0,05). High scores were obtained for the block «accessibility» of medical services, amounting to 21.76 ± 2.53 
 (21.07; 22.45, p = 0.05). Strong positive relationships «patient-GP» interactions (r = 0.9; p < 0.0001), joint decision making, and establishing trusting relationships (r = 0.73; p < 0.0001) were found. The level of trust relationship between patients and GPs was 18.94 ± 4.37 (17.75; 20.14, p = 0.05) and rated high. Problem areas were identified for individual issues in the management of medical care and recommendations for their adjustment were developed.
 Limitations. The research is limited due to a small sample due to the testing of the EUROPEP questionnaire and its adaptation for the Russian health care system. 
 Conclusion. On the example of EUROPEP questionnaire on the base of the the Stupino regional clinical hospital of Moscow region there were obtained high estimates of satisfaction with the quality of medical care, provided by GPs/FDs. The revealed problems in achieving the expected medical results refer to the making of joint decisions and are limited by the interpretation of confidentiality in GP-patient interaction. The applied survey procedure confirms the necessity of wide implementation of the adapted EUROPEP questionnaire in the management of the quality of medical care and for taking corrective measures at the regional level

КОУЧИНГОВИЙ ПІДХІД ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ДЛЯ ВСТАНОВЛЕННЯ ДОВІРЛИВИХ СТОСУНКІВ МІЖ БАТЬКАМИ І ПІДЛІТКАМИ

The article reveals the problem of building a trusting relationship between parents and teenagers using a coaching approach. The article analyzes the psychological features of adolescence, briefly describes the conclusions of recent years' research on this problem. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the complexity of problems that arise in adolescence, in particular, in the relationship between parents and adolescents; the importance of providing psychological assistance to parents in the development of positive relationships with adolescent children; as well as the significance of the influence of parents on the formation of the personality of a teenage child. The authors highlight the topic of conscious parenthood; ways of increasing the level of competence of parents, developing their abilities of constructive behavior in interpersonal conflict are revealed; features of parents' use of the coaching approach as a tool for establishing trusting relationships with teenage children are described. The article describes three parenting roles: the role of parent-teachers, parent-administrators, and parent-coaches. Parents of teenagers can take advantage of the opportunity to become mentors, guides for their grown children, providing them with support. A coaching approach in relationships with children is maximum support, where there is no condemnation, evaluation, advice, negative past, but only the present and the future. These are skills that help build a positive dialogue with the child and give positive feedback, ask questions, plan actions, increase motivation and create a supportive environment. But parents need to be taught how to achieve this. And for this purpose, the authors have developed a training program in the coaching format "Being in contact". The task of the training is to help parents find contact not only with their child, but also with themselves, because only by understanding yourself can you better understand your child. The purpose of the training proposed by the authors, which was created and tested in practice: awareness and improvement of the level of psychological parental competence in interaction with teenagers; parents' understanding of their own needs and feelings; expanding the possibilities of understanding the needs, feelings and emotions of your child; mastering basic coaching competencies in raising children; building harmonious communication in the family and successful educational influence on the child in terms of trusting relationships.

Relationship Quality Between Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Partners During Threatening Times: The Role of Contact Frequency and Social Exchanges

ABSTRACT Purpose The United Kingdom’s European Union membership referendum, which marked the end of UK membership in the European Union, created much uncertainty amongst those British and European business practitioners who were accustomed to conducting trade with partners across The North Sea. This exogenous threat to business was subsequently compounded by another serious threat: the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing that business-to-business (B2B) relationships are particularly important for the success of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and that exogenous threats in the business environment can threaten these relationships, the purpose of this study is to examine whether frequent contact and social exchanges between partners on a range of topics, during threatening times, are positively linked to the relationship qualities of trust, satisfaction, and commitment. Methodology/approach Guided by an explorative, expert interview with a Danish SME owner-manager (OM) who has a great deal of experience conducting business with UK partners, a questionnaire was developed to examine two variables which seemingly play central roles with regard to supporting business relationships during threatening times: contact frequency (how often partners are in contact), and contact scope (how often B2B partners talk together about topics which are social in nature). The questionnaire was administered to 193 Danish SME owners and managers who had British business partners at the time of the BREXIT referendum and the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings The questionnaire revealed a positive relationship between contact frequency and relationship satisfaction and commitment, as well as a positive relationship between contact scope and relationship commitment. However, no significant relationships were found between contact frequency nor contact scope, on the one hand, and the level of trust between business partners on the other. Research implications This study has underscored the usefulness of studying social exchanges, and not just information exchanges, as they are an important, relationship-strengthening aspect of B2B communication. Indeed, while the central role played by informational exchanges in building quality relationships, including trusting relationships, is well-documented, this study increases our understanding of the value of social exchanges to business relationship quality; in particular, their noteworthy link to B2B partners’ willingness to go to great lengths to maintain relationships during challenging times. Practical implications Our findings indicate that simply being in contact with B2B partners and speaking about topics that are not directly related to business is not, on its own, a sufficient means of establishing trusting relationships; however, it is nonetheless worthwhile to take the time to nurture personal relationships with B2B partners. Just a modest amount of contact is positively related to relationship satisfaction, as well as relationship commitment, which can be crucial when unforeseen and threatening times inevitably arise in the business environment. Contribution of the paper Besides enhancing our understanding of the value of frequent and social exchanges in terms of relationship quality, this paper also illustrates a useful means of studying social aspects of business relationships, which are notoriously difficult to study. This is accomplished via a questionnaire study in which respondents are asked to concretely reflect upon and report on the frequency and nature of their contact with specific B2B partners.

Trust-Aware Fog-Based IoT Environments: Artificial Reasoning Approach

Establishing service-driven IoT systems that are reliable, efficient, and stable requires building trusted IoT environments to reduce catastrophic and unforeseen damages. Hence, building trusted IoT environments is of great importance. However, we cannot assume that every node in wide-area network is aware of every other node, nor can we assume that all nodes are trustworthy and honest. As a result, prior to any collaboration, we need to develop a trust model that can evolve and establish trust relationships between nodes. Our proposed trust model uses subjective logic as a default artificial reasoning over uncertain propositions to collect recommendations from other nodes in the IoT environment. It also manages and maintains existing trust relationships established during direct communications. Furthermore, it resists dishonest nodes that provide inaccurate ratings for malicious reasons. Unlike existing trust models, our trust model is scalable as it leverages a Fog-based hierarchy architecture which allows IoT nodes to report/request the trust values of other nodes. We conducted extensive performance studies, and confirm the efficiency of our proposed trust model. The results show that at an early stage of the simulation time (i.e., within the first 2% of the number of transactions), our trust model accurately captures and anticipates the behavior of nodes. Results further demonstrate that our proposed trust model isolates untrustworthy behavior within the same FCD and prevents untrustworthy nodes from degrading trustworthy nodes’ reputations.

A240 "MY FEELINGS AND MY THOUGHTS ARE MY LIVED EXPERIENCE, NOT THE NUMBERS THEY SHOW ME ON A PIECE OF PAPER”: INDIGENOUS EXPERIENCES OF LIVER TRANSPLANTATION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Abstract Background Indigenous peoples in Canada face inequities in healthcare access due to historic and ongoing colonial systems and structures of oppression. Indigenous peoples face greater health challenges including acute/chronic disease and may require consideration for transplantation including liver, kidney, heart, and lung. In a renal transplant study, Indigenous patients were less likely to undergo transplantation compared to non-Indigenous patients on dialysis; the reasons for this disparity are not known. The experiences of Indigenous patients during the liver transplant process in British Columbia, and how transplant professionals perceive challenges faced by Indigenous people, has not been studied. Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore experiences of Indigenous patients during the liver transplant process in British Columbia, and how transplant professionals perceive challenges faced by Indigenous people. This work will provide foundational evidence for improving Indigenous patient care in the transplant process in British Columbia, in response to recommendations made to address systemic and interpersonal racism documented in the In Plain Sight report in 2020. Method Thirteen semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with Indigenous patients (n=7) and transplant care providers (n=6) across British Columbia, Canada. Interpretive description identified themes to inform clinical approaches and transplant care planning. Themes and related recommendations were validated by Indigenous health experts prior to contextualization. Result(s) Interviews were conducted via Zoom from April 2021-May 2022. Among liver transplant patient participants: transplants had occurred between 1992-2020; all were women; and the median age at the time of their interview was 58 years. Among transplant care provider participants, roles included nursing, social work, and surgery; 83% were women; and the median number of years in transplant care was ten. Three broad themes were identified: 1) Indigenous transplant patient participants had strong familial, cultural, and financial supports that were essential to accessing liver transplantation; 2) colonialism has created and perpetuated structural barriers preventing many more Indigenous peoples from being considered eligible for liver transplant; 3) anti-Indigenous racism and a lack of cultural safety and humility are barriers for Indigenous peoples who require timely care for liver disease and for establishing trusting relationships with care providers. Conclusion(s) To our knowledge, this study is the first to explore experiences of Indigenous liver transplant recipients and transplant care providers’ understanding of inequities uniquely experienced by Indigenous peoples. Addressing structural barriers to early linkage to care is needed and training for transplant clinicians on Indigenous histories, complex and intergenerational trauma, and cultural safety is strongly recommended.

Implementation of the principles of a trauma-informed environment in English lessons in elementary grades: a meta-analysis of foreign practices

The article dwells on the problem of practical implementation of trauma-informed approach in English language lessons in primary schools. The research is relevant due to the insufficient development of practices of the implementation of this approach in the conditions of military aggression and the absence of comparative studies aimed at adapting foreign experience to Ukrainian realities. The article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of international practices in implementing the traumainformed approach based on the meta-analysis of empirical research and suggest ways to adapt it to the specifics of English language teaching in Ukrainian primary schools. The article is grounded in a qualitative research methodology using the grounded theory method through the meta-analysis of empirical data. The empirical data were obtained from source databases such as ProQuest Dissertations, Scopus, and Web of Science (n=155). The research results are structured based on the principles of organizing a trauma-informed environment, including creating a safe environment, establishing trusting relationships, supportive practices, collaboration and mutual respect, empowerment, and social justice. The studied practices are based on changes in the physical classroom space, modifications to classroom management, and the use of various educational approaches in English language teaching. The ways of adapting these practices are structured into changes involving classroom management and modifications of teaching practices. Further comparative analysis of teacher training programs for the implementation of the traumainformed approach is needed.

Will executive equity incentives affect investor relations management: Empirical evidence from Chinese listed companies.

How to improve the level of investor relationship management of listed companies and establish trust relationship with investors is an important research issue for enterprises in the capital market. From the perspective of optimal contracting theory, we construct a theoretical model to assess how executive equity incentive plans (EEIPs) affect enterprises' investor relationship management. For the analysis purpose, this study looks into panel data issues in depth by using approaches the fixed effect (FE) method, and the study employs the propensity score matching (PSM), instrumental variable method, and core indicator substitution method to test the robustness of the conclusions. Based on the panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2014 to 2019, our baseline results indicate that EEIPs improves investor relations. This positive effect mainly exists in stock options, rather than restricted stocks. In the sample of enterprises implementing EEIPs, the intensity of executive equity incentive is positively correlated with investor relationship management. Further research shows that EEIPs mainly through telephone communication, network communication and on-site communication to achieve the impact of listed companies investor relationship management. These findings enriches the economics of executive equity incentives from the perspective of investor relations management. At the same time, it has certain guiding significance for improving the design of the incentive system for corporate executives and improving the information efficiency of the capital market.

School Nurse–Parent Partnership in School Health Care for Children with Type 1 Diabetes: A Hybrid Method Concept Analysis

To define school nurse-parent partnerships in school health care for children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and determine its attributes using a hybrid model. This method involves a three-phase process: theoretical, fieldwork, and analytical. A literature review was conducted during the theoretical phase. A literature search of articles from January 1991 to February 2020 was conducted using relevant electronic databases. Eighty-three articles that met the inclusion criteria were completely read. Fieldwork data were collected through individual interviews from February to July 2019 in South Korea. In the fieldwork phase, interviews were conducted individually with 22 mothers of students with T1D and 20 school nurses recruited by purposeful sampling. Inductive content analysis was conducted. The findings from the theoretical phase were integrated with those from the fieldwork phase, and the final concept was derived. School nurse-parent partnership in school health care for children with T1D has been defined as an interactive process of maintaining a balanced responsibility and providing tailored care to meet needs by establishing trusting relationships and communicating transparently and openly. This analysis yielded four attributes: trusting relationships, transparent and open communication, balanced responsibility, and providing tailored care to meet needs-this entails providing nursing actions by advocating for students and performing a negotiated role together or individually for student and family. The findings of this study add to the importance of an attribute of balancing responsibility for partnership in school health care. The results show that this partnership could contribute to the development of a scale, theory, and nursing intervention in school health care for children with T1D.

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion—Utilizing Student Voices During Strategic Decision-Making Processes

Kinesiology administrators make a myriad of strategic decisions throughout their time in leadership. Effective leadership, particularly inclusive excellence leadership, is highlighted by the ability of an individual to utilize a diversity of constituent viewpoints, perspectives, and “voices” to guide their respective decision-making processes. This manuscript includes two students’ stories, as well as main points of discussion by American Kinesiology Association Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion workshop leaders. These perspectives provide not only foundational background information, including student identities, but also strategic actions that are necessary to develop all-inclusive and individualized programming that can successfully overcome systemic barriers. The main identified themes are (a) ease of access to accommodations, (b) a culture of inclusivity, (c) advocating, (d) establishing trusting relationships, (e) welcoming of Indigenous perspectives, and (f) flexible practices and community support.

Suicide Prevention in Nigeria: Can Community Pharmacists Have a Role?

Suicide is a global public health problem and is among the leading causes of death worldwide. Over 700,000 people die by suicide globally each year, affecting all ages, genders, and regions. Community pharmacists are easily accessible and trusted frontline healthcare professionals. They provide pharmaceutical care to the community, yet their role is still yet to be fully optimised. With the expanding role of community pharmacists and their constant accessibility to the local population, they could have a potential role in suicide prevention and awareness in Nigeria through restriction of means, signposting to services, and conversations with patients built on trusting relationships. In this commentary, we review the literature on the involvement of community pharmacists in suicide prevention. In addition, we discuss the potential role of community pharmacists in Nigeria through establishing trusting relationships with patients, clinical counselling, and medication gatekeeping, given the existing gaps in knowledge and awareness of suicide prevention within community settings. This commentary also outlines potential barriers and solutions, making suggestions for future research.

Pandemic checkups: Mobile paediatric care and vaccination in disadvantaged areas.

In 2019, 10.1% of Canadians lived below the national poverty line (1). This percentage is greater among immigrants who arrived in Canada within the last 10 years (17.4%) (1). Poverty is a health issue: lower income is associated with poorer health outcomes, such as shorter life expectancy, mental health disorders, diabetes, and cardiovascular comorbidities (2). Children experiencing poverty are at higher risk of infant and child mortality and morbidity due to injury, asthma and developmental delay (2). In addition to having increased risk of adverse health outcomes, low-income, racially diverse populations face linguistic, structural, and psychological obstacles in accessing health care (2,3). These marginalized groups have also reported challenges in establishing trusting relationships with health care providers (4). COVID-19 has exacerbated these health inequities, as public health measures led to a reduction in health care appointments conducted in person. Reorganization of services led to a deprioritization of elective clinical activity, such as well-child visits (5). Furthermore, families were hesitant to seek care due to fear of contracting COVID-19 (6). To palliate these gaps in care, telemedicine has been widely adopted during the pandemic (7). Despite telemedicine improving health care access for some patients, vulnerable families have unequal access to virtual care (7).

How spatial proximity facilitates distant search – a social capital perspective on local open innovation

ABSTRACT Distant search has evolved from the open innovation literature as an efficient mechanism to access external knowledge from heterogeneous fields of expertise. Despite its popularity and proven benefits, companies face multiple barriers to benefitting from distant search. In this study, we explore a local open innovation approach in which the spatial distance between solution-seeking firms and problem solvers was deliberately reduced to combine the benefits of distant search with those of spatial proximity. We studied eight local open innovation events and found that spatial proximity supports the implementation of open innovation, overcoming challenges of initiating organisational change towards openness, establishing trusting relationships for knowledge exchange, and successfully applying the external knowledge. By identifying social capital as the key success factor in local open innovation, our study contributes to the theoretical foundations of open innovation by showing how the dimensions of social capital enable key actions in each process phase.

Examining effects of instructional strategies on student engagement in blended online courses

AbstractBackgroundBlended online courses, which combine synchronous and asynchronous online activities, have expanded rapidly in higher education. How to enhance student engagement in such courses is unclear, although it is recognized that student engagement is malleable through instructional strategies.ObjectivesGiven the above, this study aims to examine the influence of categories of strategies on student engagement in blended online courses.MethodsA conceptual framework of instructional strategies indicated as fostering student engagement in the relevant literature was first presented, divided in eight categories (structure, pace, relevance, active, choice, relationships, explanations, guide). Then a research framework linking the categories of strategies to student engagement dimensions (emotional‐cognitive, social, behavioral) was built and tested in blended online courses. Data collected in various disciplines and university levels at four universities (n = 482) were examined using partial least squares structural equation modeling.Results and ConclusionsThe structural model examination confirmed the combined effects of categories of instructional strategies on student engagement in such courses in all disciplines. Particularly, this study revealed that 1) establishing trusting relationships, 2) demonstrating the relevance of activities, content, and resources, and 3) maintaining a sustained course pace significantly impacted student engagement in blended online courses in all disciplines.TakeawaysThis study draws upon the blended learning literature to bring together key instructional strategies that foster student engagement while highlighting empirical quantitative evidence of their effects on student engagement in blended online courses. Detailed measures of categories of instructional strategies and student engagement dimensions also provide reliable instruments for future research.

Trust and the social licence to operate in the Guatemalan mining sector: Escobal Mine case study

This paper builds on the literature that trust and ongoing relationship development is needed for a social licence to operate. While trust and the SLO has been analyzed, there is little exploring what trust is, the types of trust that exist, contextual factors that can facilitate or erode trust, and the concept of trust itself has not been defined. By analyzing historical, political, economic, and social factors at the Escobal mine site, the need to address power imbalances and inequities in a population to establish generalized trust emerges as a key antecedent for increasing the opportunity for earning a SLO. Generalized trust is earned through honest relationship development, which is characterized by limiting inequities and power imbalances, and ensuring those relationships are contextualized for the area and its stakeholders – there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. This paper explores the concept of trust with an emphasis on generalized trust and proposes a definition of trust that embraces the proposed intention of SLO: establishing trusting relationships. Trust in the SLO is the willingness to be vulnerable to a project proponent's proposed activities.

UAV-Based Privacy-Preserved Trustworthy Seamless Service Agility for NextG Cellular Networks

Next Generation cellular networks are expected to offer better service quality, secure and reliable service provisioning, and more cooperative operation even in unexpected stressful situations. Service provider cooperation can facilitate reliable service provisioning and extended coverage in disasters situations or partial network failures. However, the current 4G and 5G standards do not offer security and privacy-friendly support for inter-operator agility and service mobility, a key enabler for such cooperation. The situation becomes more critical in presence of attackers, where establishing trust relationships becomes very complicated. This paper presents a novel UAV-assisted user-agility support framework that enables trustworthy seamless service migration in a zero-trust environment. The proposed framework facilitates temporal authentication-authority delegation and proxying to enable preservice, all-party mutual authentication. The framework is implemented and tested on top of the srsRAN open-source 4G/5G software stack. Experiments showed that the presented framework managed to facilitate effective and efficient trustworthy service migration between heterogeneous service provider networks.

Trust as a moral category in operational investigative activities

The subject of the study is the psychological characteristics of the individual, their content and features. The object of the study is the interpersonal relationships that arise between an employee of an operational unit and a citizen in the process of establishing trust. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the emergence and strengthening of neural connections, the peculiarities of the manifestation of a sense of trust and its importance for solving the tasks that face operational investigative activities. The importance of establishing trusting relationships in the process of obtaining the necessary information by the operative and the person of interest to him is noted. Particular attention is paid to the establishment and maintenance of psychological contact between an operative and an object of operational interest, as well as techniques for manipulating the interlocutor using neuro-linguistic programming techniques. The main conclusions of the study are: trust as a moral category is used by operational officers to solve the tasks of operational investigative activities; the foundation of sincere communication and mutual understanding of two personalities is a sense of trust; for the emergence of trusting relationships, it is of great importance to establish and maintain psychological contact in the process of communication between an operative and a citizen by modeling mutual interests and mutual understanding. In the course of establishing trust, neural connections arise. Neurolinguistic programming techniques allow you to establish psychological contact between an operative and a person of interest to him. Neurotechnics are also used to achieve and strengthen trusting relationships.

A realist evaluation of a home-based end of life care service for children and families: what works, for whom, how, in what circumstances and why?

BackgroundChildren’s palliative and end of life care is underpinned internationally by a commitment to provide care and support in the family’s preferred place, which may include home, hospital or hospice. Limited evidence on models of best practice for the provision of children’s end of life care at home is available. This realist evaluation of a novel, home-based end of life care service explored what works for whom, how, in what circumstances and why.MethodsAdopting principles of realist evaluation, an initial programme theory (IPT) was developed from multiple data sources including a scoping review, service documentation review, audit of service data, and qualitative data gathered from stakeholder (n = 6) and family interviews (n = 10). Three families who had used the service were identified as case studies and interviews with professionals involved in their care (n = 20) were conducted to test the IPT. The findings informed the revised CMOs illustrating the contexts and mechanisms which underpin how and why the service works and for whom.ResultsCMO configurations were identified explaining how and why the service works for families across five core components: anticipatory approach to care planning and delivery, advance care planning, service responsiveness and flexibility, 24/7 nurse-led service with 24-h medical support, and partnership working. Key mechanisms include establishing trusting relationships, building skills and parent confidence to deliver care, early advance care planning discussions with clear documentation, providing a single point of contact for families, workforce planning and resources to deliver the service as intended, effective communication and leadership within and between providers of the service, and use of joint policies and procedures. Recommendations for future development and expansion of the service are also discussed.ConclusionsThe findings highlight core components making this service a success and areas of challenge which continue to be addressed as the service develops. With increasing demand for home-based end of life care for children these components provide a structure which can help to guide service development to meet the needs of these families in other regions to ensure that children and families receive good quality care in their place of choice.

Ambiguity-incorporated opinion formation model for multi-risk large-group emergency decision-making in social networks

PurposeVarious decision opinions comprise the foundation of emergency decision-making. However, decision-makers have difficulty establishing trust relationships within a short time because of decision-making groups being temporary. The paper aims to develop an ambiguity-incorporated opinion formation model that considers ambiguous opinions on relevant risks from a psychological perspective during the consensus reaching process.Design/methodology/approachAddressing the problem of forming a consensus decision-making opinion in an ambiguous environment and relevant risk opinions, different social network structures were first proposed. Subsequently, psychological factors affecting the decision-makers' perception of ambiguous opinions and tolerance for ambiguity under the multi-risk factors were considered. Accordingly, an ambiguity-incorporated opinion formation model was proposed by considering the ambiguity and relevant opinions on multi-risk factors.FindingsA comparison between the ambiguity-incorporated opinion formation model and the F–J model illustrates the superiority of the proposed model. By applying the two types of network structures in the simulation process, the results indicate that the convergence of opinions will be affected by different decision-making network structures.Originality/valueThe research provides a novel opinion formation model incorporating psychological factors and relevant opinions in the emergency decision-making process and provides decision support for practitioners to quantify the influence of ambiguous opinions. The research allows the practitioners to be aware of the influence of different social network structures on opinion formation and avoid inaccurate opinion formation due to unreasonable grouping in emergency decision-making.

MODIFIED FOG-BASED TRUST METHOD OF DATA MONITORING FOR MULTI-SENSOR CONFIGURATION SYSTEMS

.A modified Fog-based trust method to prevent third-party interference in establishing trust relationships between sensors and cloud service providers in multi-sensor systems is considered. Trust in behavior between nodes is established at the level of wireless sensor networks; in the nodes and objects data at the Fog layer. With more detailed data analysis of the latter, it becomes possible to monitor the trust status of the entire network, detect data attacks and recover from misjudged nodes. Fog layer can be built as a reliable third party. Experiment results show that the proposed trust mechanism is inherent in advantage due to reducing energy consumption and ensuring the trust state of Edge nodes and whole the network as well as detecting hidden attacks on data and recovering nodes.
