Электронно-лучевой метод стерилизации почтовой корреспонденции

This work is a logical continuation of the previously published article «Disinfection of postal correspondence as a tool to counteract postal bioterrorism» and is devoted to the study of the electron beam method (ELM) sterilization of postal correspondence (PC). The possibility of using pathogenic biological agents (PBAs) for terrorist purposes using PCs poses the maximum danger among possible threats, since the consequences, if terrorists achieve their goals, will be catastrophic. The rapid development of biological sciences leads to an ever-expanding list of PBAs due to the discovery of pathogens of new infections, the creation of genetically modified and hybrid microorganisms. A special place is occupied by the problem of ensuring the biological safety (BB) of PC recipients, associated with the possibility of committing terrorist acts, including through infected mail. In this regard, it is relevant to search for methods of providing PC security that would reduce the risks of infection of technical personnel of communication offices to a minimum or eliminate them altogether. In order to prevent damage to the PBA of the technical personnel of the PC processing points and the final recipients by mail, their disinfection is justified. Keywords: postal bioterrorism, biological security, pathogenic biological agent, mail, mail processing point, electron beam method.

Collaboration of Progressive Web App (PWA) And Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Optimal Performance Mailing Software

The problem of correspondence cannot be separated from the ease, accuracy and speed of the processing process. In research from Riswandi Ishak and H. Trizaka, they proposed report management software as well as notification of disposition and monitoring of correspondence as a solution to correspondence problems. However, there are shortcomings in the notification process for the disposition of correspondence, which requires the software to be actively open. In research, P. Dwi proposed a notification solution with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so that it can send notifications as long as the browser is active and connected to the internet, even without opening the software. There is a problem currently when the software becomes unstable when the internet connection is bad or offline. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) offers the concept of web-based application development by implementing browser technology such as service workers and app manifests. PWA is capable of displaying pages offline but cannot save, change, or delete data in the database. The test results of this research used Lighthouse and showed an average score of 100 on the PWA criteria, 85 on the performance criteria, 97 on the accessibility criteria, and 100 on the best practices criteria. Additional results obtained by implementing PWA mean page loading times are 26.6% faster with cache and service workers. The PWA and FCM concepts provide the best experience in using Mailing Software even with minimal internet connection or offline. This strategy was chosen to still get a fast response when running the mail processing software.

The design begins with needs analysis, design, implementation, verification (system testing), operation and maintenance. A website that can search letters by applying the Levenshtein Distance Algorithm was generated. This website is very helpful in the process of searching for letters to the Administrative Affairs of the Police Information Technology Bureau.

The Saving Matrix Method for Improving Distribution Efficiency

The delivery route for the Bandung 40400 Mail Processing Center is determined based on the estimation using the zoning system, and this may trigger delays. This happens because of each vehicle can only deliver to one distribution center at a time. This makes the load factor level of vehicle utilization below 20%. This study aims to obtain the optimal route and delivery schedule to improve distribution efficiency and increase the load factor of vehicle capacity utilization. This quantitative research method uses the Saving Matrix algorithm on all distribution channels. The results obtained indicate that the optimal delivery routes are 5 to 6 cluster. This saves mileage of up to 144 km per route per day and saves distribution costs of up to Rp. 39,146.50 for one delivery. In addition, there was an increase in the load factor of 18.37% for dropping 1 and 16.49% for dropping 2. By using the proposed route, a resume of the delivery schedule is obtained with clearer departure and arrival times and saving times up to 275 minutes. Furthermore, the expansion of the scope of research and comparing the level of effectiveness between distribution centers in various regions can be carried out as a follow-up study.

How personal characteristics impact phishing susceptibility: The mediating role of mail processing

In the phishing email literature, recent researchers have given much attention to individual differences in phishing susceptibility from the perspective of the Big Five personality traits. Although the effectiveness and advantages of the phishing susceptibility measures in the signal detection theory (SDT) framework have been verified, the cognitive mechanisms that lead to individual differences in these measures remain unknown. The current study proposed and examined a theoretical path model to explore how the Big Five personality traits, related knowledge and experience and the cognitive processing of emails (i.e., mail elaboration) influence users’ susceptibility to phishing emails. A sample of 414 Chinese participants completed the 44-item Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI-44), Mail Elaboration Scale (MES), Web Experience Questionnaire, Experience with Electronic Mail Scale, Knowledge and Technical Background Test and a demographic questionnaire. The phishing susceptibility measures were calculated after the participants finished an email legitimacy task in a role-playing scenario. The results showed that the general profile of the “victim personality” included low conscientiousness, low openness and high neuroticism, and Internet experience and computer and web knowledge played an important role. All of these factors have significant indirect effects on phishing susceptibility by influencing mail elaboration. Moreover, the probabilities of checking for further information or deleting the email reflect the sensitivity of email judgment. These findings reveal the mediating role of cognitive processing between individual factors and phishing susceptibility. The theoretical implications of this study for the phishing susceptibility literature and its applications to phishing risk interventions or training programs are discussed.

Mail management is a tangled thread that becomes the main problem in a company or organization. The information contained in the letter is an essential part of maintaining the confidentiality of data. Maintaining the integrity of the data becomes an essence that must be resolved in an organized manner so that incoming letters can be structured in a structured way and make it easier to search for these letters in the future. In general, the processing of incoming and outgoing mail is grouped and managed by similar grouping documents. The mail processing process still uses a number system or an agenda book, so document archiving is not optimal and less efficient in mail processing. To makes letters more organized, an information system is needed that can record and store the process of receiving letters. Using information systems directly can shorten searching for letters and storing notes in a more well-structured manner. The grouping of letters using the classification model of the decision tree algorithm can organize letters into specific groups. The set aims to speed up searching for correspondence information and the grouping to be more well structured. This study aims to build a mail processing information system. The system built can manage incoming and outgoing mail data. The research conducted in building this system is qualitative research by observing the research object.

Address Recognition System for Postal Service Using Neural Networks

While most of the Indian industries are in the process of automation, it is a bitter truth that the Indian Postal System is still using manual intervention for its mail sorting and processing. Although for postal automation there are many pieces of work towards street name recognition in non-Indian languages, to the best of our knowledge there is no work on street name recognition in Indian languages. The Automatic Mail Processor (AMP), which we have designed, scans a mail and interprets the imperative fields of the destination address such as the Pin Code, City name, Locality name and the Street name. The interpreted address is subsequently converted into a QR code. The code is reprinted onto the mail which can be read by a low-cost machine. By converting the destination address into a barcode, all of the future sorting processes can be accomplished by using a mechanical machine sorter, which can sort the mails according to the barcode present on them. We used two main approaches to accomplish this task: classifying words directly and character segmentation. For the former, we use Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with various architectures to train a model that can precisely classify words. We then pass the segmented characters to a R ecurrent Neural Network (RNN) for classification and then reconstruct each word according to the results of classification and segmentation.

ПОШУК ОПТИМАЛЬНИХ ШЛЯХІВ У ВЕЛИКИХ МЕРЕЖАХ ПОШТОВОГО ЗВ'ЯЗКУ

Currently, small postal networks, characterized by the presence of unique links between their structures and communication matrices, are mainly used to meet the needs of the postal service. These networks are constantly being developed and improved, in particular, new regional automated sorting centers are being created that use robotic complexes, machines and devices, mail transportation and processing schemes are complicated, and alternative options for such schemes arise, including alternative options for quantity, location and throughput specified sorting centers, securing postal service objects, sequences and time schedules for their passage, etc. As a result, small mail communication networks are gradually turning into large mail communication networks, a characteristic feature of which is the lack of unambiguous connections between their structures and connectivity matrices, which greatly complicates the search for optimal paths in these networks. In this work, as the prototypes of large postal networks, the lines of the largest undergrounds in the world are used. Although the subways are not intended for transportation and processing of mail, they provide an opportunity to get a real idea of the difficulty of finding optimal paths in large postal networks, to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of search algorithms for such paths in these networks

Learning from ITIL for efficient internal services of authorities

In the following, we highlight why IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) proposals, which have long been established for the management of IT services [8], can add value to the management of services offered by the Internal Services division of authorities.
 The Internal Service divisions of authorities offer a wide range of services that may differ from one authority to another. However, as a rule, the following services are offered as core offers:
 
 Mail processing, messenger service, document creation and management, duplication and printing, e.g. business cards.
 Facility management including winter maintenance and cleaning of buildings, access control and security, vehicle availability. However, facility management is usually a major part of provided internal services.
 Procurement and internal materials management, more and more as the implementation of decentralized activities of the consolidated processes.
 
 Adapting methods and procedures from ITIL can help to provide an overview about all offered internal services and makes the point of contact transparent for each of them. Furthermore, implementing support systems following that idea generate necessary information for keeping track of individual service requests. Hereon, even online steering mechanisms become possible as it is standard for IT services as of today.

Evaluation of performance-enhancing drugs seized by Israeli enforcement agencies 2012\u20132017: implications for policy and regulatory change

BackgroundIllicit performance-enhancing substances are used mostly by athletes to enhance performance in sports, and by bodybuilders to gain muscle and body mass. Among performance-enhancing substances, the most common and known substances are anabolic-androgenic steroids, which are associated with a range of short and long-term adverse medical and psychiatric effects.While the sale and distribution of performance-enhancing substances are considered criminal offenses per the Israeli local pharmacy ordinance, the use and personal possession of these substances are not. Presently, the Division of Enforcement and Inspection of the Israel Ministry of Health cooperates with police and customs agents in performance-enhancing substance-related enforcement activities, which chiefly include seizures carried out at suspicious sites. Moreover, the Division of Enforcement and Inspection provides professional guidance, lab analysis services, and expert opinions on the toxicological and pharmaceutical nature of products seized.This paper presents a contemporary sub-analysis of registered seizures of performance-enhancing substances carried-out by Israel enforcement agencies. The main aim of this analysis is to characterize current patterns of performance-enhancing substances, thus providing the possibility of better assessment of current enforcement and health policy.MethodsA sub-analysis of 712 seizures of performance-enhancing substances seized by Israeli enforcement authorities during a six-year period ranging from January 2012 to December 2017.ResultsThis study demonstrates that Israel faces a challenge regarding the importation and distribution of illicit performance-enhancing substances. The most common substances seized were anabolic androgenic steroids (N = 539). Most seizures were carried out in the central mail processing sites, (38.4%), followed by seizures in private premises such as homes and warehouses (29.6%). Significant differences were found between anabolic-androgenic steroids and other substances, relating to place and year of seizure. Among seizures with known sources (N = 355), the most frequent geographic region given as the source of substances was Eastern Europe (47.6%), followed by East Asia (24.8%), West Asia (19.4%), and Western Europe (5.9%). Bulgaria was the country with the highest frequency of seizures (N = 71) followed by Jordan (N = 45), Thailand (N = 37) and Moldova (N = 36). Significant regional differences were found based on the variables of gender, place of seizure, and type of substance. The most frequent month of seizures was August (N = 129), followed by July (N = 119), and June (N = 118).ConclusionsWhile data analysis focused on the supply side of the performance-enhancing substances market, the high number of seizures of performance-enhancing substances in Israel represents evidence of the existence of a high demand and a large consumer base for these products. Consequently, there is a need for developing further enforcement, treatment, and prevention policies that do not currently exist in Israel. Policymakers should consider prioritizing law enforcement action and incentivizing intelligence sharing to monitor suspected shipment sources and specific points of entry. Additionally, the results demonstrate that there is a need in reforming the penal law to discourage the use of performance-enhancing substances. Similar measures have already been applied in countries like Spain, Italy, and Belgium. Furthermore, policy-makers should consider enhancing health ministry agencies with a higher enforcement capacity by giving them further investigative and inquiry authority. Due to the troubling magnitude of the phenomenon, policymakers should also prioritize educational and prevention strategies.

Enhancing the operational performance of mail processing facility layout selection using multi-criteria decision making methods

Generally, facility layout design (FLD) has a significant impact on the performance of a manufacturing or service industry which comes under multi-objective problem. Facility layout design is aimed to streamline the work flow and increasing the productivity. This paper attempts to incorporate multi-criteria decision making process (MCDM) methods to find the optimum layout to improve the operational performance through lean service, workplace environment and ergonomics approach. Layout design focuses on identification and elimination of waste (non-value added activities) and comfortable workplace environment with suitable ergonomics conditions in order to achieve the target production. The proposed methods are exemplified through practical applications in Indian postal manual speed post sorting facility layouts. In this case study, we have proposed three methods: analytical hierarchy process (AHP), technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and fuzzy TOPSIS. Empirical results are encouraging for implementing feasible methods in solving a layout design problem.

Defining a GP consultation

IntroductionThe method used to define a GP-consultation using routine data will vary depending on the data source and research question. However, without consensus the approach will be tackled by numerous researchers and invariably result in different definitions. The LUCI study is assessing outcomes of childhood UTI using routine data sources.
 Objectives and ApproachWe are interested in GP urine sampling rate and re-consultation rate. The GP dataset includes multiple clinical (acute, routine monitoring, prescribing, results) and administrative codes. A GP consultation therefore needed to be defined. GP read code frequencies for our study cohort of children were produced. One researcher reviewed the codes that represented 80% of the data and classified them as a consultation or not. Where there was uncertainty this was independently reviewed by two clinicians and discrepancies agreed by the management team.
 ResultsWe will present the decisions and assumptions made for this study in defining a GP consultation. 25,623 Read Codes represented the consultations for our study cohort of which 460 codes represented 80% of the consultations. The remaining 20% of codes represented <0.032% of records each. The 460 Read Codes were reviewed and following independent review and agreement from the management group 149 Read Codes were excluded. These were grouped into the following categories Administrative (e.g. Incoming Mail Processing, Ethnicity codes), Vaccinations, Child Health (e.g. First Smiled), Asthma and Medication Review. The GP consultations to be included in the analysis were then restricted to exclude these codes. This has been an important step in cleaning and understanding the data prior to analysis.
 Conclusion/ImplicationsA consultation was defined for this study however there will be pros and cons to this method. In lieu of a consensus approach to the method this work is the first step to sharing approaches to help researchers with the same challenge.
