Digitalization of the economy as a factor of influence on the economic security of the country

The article is devoted to the study of the conceptual foundations of digitalization of the economy and the determination of the features of the impact of digitalization processes on economic security. Based on the analysis, it was established that the positive results of the development of the digital economy, according to the results of modern research, include: an increase in labor productivity; increasing the level of business competitiveness; reducing the level of production costs; increasing the number of jobs; partial solution to the problem of social inequality. At the same time, studies indicate negative aspects of digitalization, including: the risk of hacker attacks, which is related to the issue of protecting corporate and personal data; the so-called «digital slavery», that is, the advantage of using corporate and personal data for the purpose of manipulating the behavior of individuals; increase in the level of unemployment due to the risk of decreasing the relevance of some professions and sectors of the economy; «digital divide» – inequality in access to the digital environment in different countries or within the same country.
 It has been proven that the processes of information technology implementation affect all spheres of society and various aspects of activity, including professional and personal life. Large-scale programs for the development of the digital economy and the rapid spread of information and communication technologies in all spheres of social life determine the need to develop a methodology for determining the socio-economic consequences and evaluating the level of effectiveness of the implementation process. This requires the formation of a new paradigm for the development of the digital economy and the provision of economic security in this area. The issue of using cloud technologies in the economic sphere also deserves attention. Since cloud technologies provide the possibility of duplication of information, simplification of remote work and security of important information, currently the question of popularizing the use of these technologies in both the public and private sectors has arisen. This can positively affect the level of economic security and national security in general. Also, the conducted scientific research allows us to talk about the importance of regulating issues of artificial intelligence development and introducing them in the field of economic security to preserve economic stability and general national security.

Health Care Professionals' Experiences and Views of eHealth in Pediatric Care: Qualitative Interview Study Applying a Theoretical Framework for Implementation.

The development and evaluation of eHealth interventions in clinical care should be accompanied by a thorough assessment of their implementation. The NASSS (Non-adoption, Abandonment, and Challenges to the Scale-Up, Spread, and Sustainability of Health and Care Technologies) framework was designed to facilitate the implementation and scale-up of health technology programs, providing an option for analyzing the progression of these initiatives as they are implemented in real-time. Considering health care provider perspectives within the framework for implementation offers valuable insights into the early identification of barriers and facilitators in the implementation of potentially effective eHealth innovations. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of studies on eHealth interventions that encompass longer time frames and delve into the complexities of scaling up and sustaining such interventions within real-world health care environments. This study aims to investigate the perspectives and insights of health care professionals (HCPs) regarding the implementation of an eHealth intervention in pediatric health care while applying the NASSS framework to theorize and evaluate the conditions influencing the implementation of eHealth solutions. Semistructured interviews were performed with health care providers, including both staff and management personnel, within a university pediatric hospital (N=10). The data collection process occurred concurrently with a clinical trial focused on developing and assessing an eHealth app for self-management in pediatric care following hospital discharge. Using an abductive approach, the interviews were initially analyzed qualitatively and subsequently mapped onto the 7 domains of the NASSS framework to identify factors influencing implementation, encompassing facilitators, barriers, and varying levels of complexity. In the realm of pediatric care, the family was identified as the primary unit of care, and patient heterogeneity was a prominent feature. The implementation of eHealth tools, while deemed usable and flexible, was also seen as a delicate balance between safety and adaptability, highlighting challenges related to health care integration. Child participation and secrecy, especially for adolescents, contributed to the complexity of using eHealth. HCPs had high eHealth literacy, and thus challenges concerning adoption were related to work adaptations and the risk of "app overload." The readiness for implementation was experienced as induced through the research study and the pandemic situation. However, to move from research to implementation in clinical practice, organizational challenges identified a need to update the concept of care and ensure activity measurements. In a wider context, HCPs raised concerns related to regulatory requirements for documentation, public procurement, and data safety. Implementation became more complex due to a lack of overview in a large organization. Important perspectives for implementation were considerations of regulatory requirements, as well as the need for a shared vision of eHealth and the establishment of eHealth-related work as part of regular health care. Key contextual factors that support reach and impact are communication channels between different levels at the hospital and a need for paths and procedures compatible with legal, technological, and security concerns. Further research should focus on how eHealth interventions are perceived by children, adolescents, their parents, and other stakeholders.

Experimental and Monte Carlo study of energy response of BEO-based OSL detectors within photon energy range up to 15 MeV.

Response of personal dosemeters to high energy photon radiation is of great interest nowadays due to a spread of new radiation technologies and the expansion of occupational exposure domains. ICRU95 publication has expanded the range of relevant photon energies upwards, setting new horizons for individual monitoring. Beryllium oxide (BeO) material is increasingly popular due to its excellent optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties, simple readout and reasonable energy response in the low energy (below 100keV) range. The study considers energy dependence of OSL response at higher photon energies. Energy deposition of monoenergetic photons with energy up to 15MeV in the BeO chips of various thickness was modeled with Monte Carlo MCNP 6.2 code. Benchmark experiments were conducted at LINAC with high voltage of 6, 10 and 15 MV resulting in respective incident photon spectra. The findings of this study add knowledge regarding behavior of BeO personal dosemeters in the photon fields within the energy range above 3MeV.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AS A FACTOR OF NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE

Digitalization has a significant impact on the sovereignty of the state and its national security. In its turn, national security determines the measures and requirements that apply to the informatization of society and information security. The relationship between national security and digitalization means that one cannot talk about national security without taking into account the degree of digitalization of the country. The problems of digitalization of Ukraine has been researched by many authors. However, it takes on special significance now that national security is becoming especially important for the country. The purpose of the study is to estimate the state of digital development of Ukraine and the cyber threats that the country has experienced and formulate basic recommendations for the further digital development of Ukraine. The author examines the issue of digitalization from the point of view of strengthening Ukraine’s position on the world stage, and those dangerous moments of digitalization that may appear in the case of military aggression. The author analyzes various indicators of digitalization as well as the state’s contribution to the development of information and communication technologies. In particular, Ukraine improved its position according to the generalized indicator of the level of development of information and communication technologies NRI from 71st place in 2015 to 50th place in 2022. Calculations showed that in recent years the state did not allocate enough budget funds to the field of information and communication technologies. A different situation is observed for the private sector in 2019–2021 – the share of capital investments from internal sources of enterprises and organizations in the “Information and Telecommunications” section exceeds the average level of capital investments disbursed from such sources in the whole economy. The downside of digitalization is the increase in cyber attacks with the spread of information and communication technologies. The work examines those examples of cyber attacks that Ukraine has experienced since the beginning of Russian aggression. In the context of hostilities, Ukraine needs to increase the level of cyber protection, because the country is no t among the top ten countries in the world with the highest GCI score.

고대 한일 갑주의 이해와 과제

The Korean-Japanese armor excavated during the Three Kingdoms Period and the Kofun Period has been an important discussion in terms of the spread and distribution of technology. Among them, the background and meaning of the appearance of the Korean Peninsula, including the issue of the place of production, are actively taking place around the Japanese armors, which is identified on the Korean Peninsula. However, the Japanese armors excavated from the Korean Peninsula are mainly analyzed for horizontal plate armor. However, a comprehensive analysis is needed on the Korean Peninsula, as scale armors have not only plate armor but also, it is necessary to analyze them comprehensively. In addition, since the research so far has focused on discussing the production area and reviewing the structure, a new review is needed based on newly accumulated data. At that time, Japan accepted the manufacturing technology of various items, including armor, to various countries on the Korean Peninsula. In terms of ancient Korea-Japan negotiations, armor is an item equipped with various technologies and occupies an important position than other items. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss what similarities and differences are in terms of accepting, producing, and utilizing the technology of the Korean Peninsula, and what its meaning is. For this purpose, this paper attempted to examine the meaning of the Japanese armors(scale armors and plate armor) excavated from the Korean Peninsula by period. In addition, from a new perspective of production, use (utilization), and disposal (store), the characteristics of Armor5s prestige items were reviewed. As the above-mentioned product is conducted in a receiving relationship between the giving side and the receiving side, it is difficult to determine the meaning and background of the buried person who buried the horizontal plate armor through the current research results, so a close study is needed in the future.

Collegiate cheating: understanding the prevalence, causes, and consequences

This article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments regarding the issue of academic dishonesty. The study’s main aim is to understand and initiate discussions about the widespread but disturbing problem of attrition in higher education institutions around the world. A systematization of literary sources and approaches to understanding university attrition has shown that a deep-rooted interplay of cultural, cross-cultural and social values contributes to academic dishonesty. The relevance of this issue and decisions that are considered necessary in this direction is that it will help educational institutions think about the need to develop a policy of academic integrity and control over strict compliance with the norms of this policy. The work uses a dual methodological approach involving quantitative and qualitative research methods. Within the framework of the quantitative method, a survey of students was conducted, which included a sample of 503 respondents. The purpose of the structured study of students is to determine their general perception of academic integrity, as well as to assess the extent of their use of information technology and compare it with their individual level of academic integrity. The qualitative method involved conducting interviews (in person and by telephone) and 25 focus group discussions among educational administrators regarding the prevalence of academic dishonesty in the academic environment. The internal consistency of the method was checked using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The article empirically confirms the results, which indicate that the traditional learning environment, the level of affluence in the family, and technological dependence contributed to non-compliance with the principles of academic dishonesty and a decrease in the quality of educational services. The results showed that the presence of a family business can significantly affect a student’s thinking and form a low level of tolerance for academic dishonesty (F=1.54, p=0.02). With the rapid spread of digital technology, Generation Z students depend highly on technology to support their educational endeavours (F=1.35, p=0.04). The results of the study offer a better understanding of the consequences of deviant academic behavior, the justification for increasing the responsibility of the subjects of the educational process for non-compliance with the principles of academic integrity and the importance of the institutional policy of the educational institution in regulating this issue.

Телемедицина: определение, особенности внедрения в практику, эффективность и перспективы применения в кардиологии

INTRODUCTION: Information and communication technologies in healthcare were realized in the advent of telemedicine (TM). This article presents current definitions, as well as describes the existing difficulties of terminology and classification. The main documents regulating the use of TM technologies in Russia at present are given. It is noted that the development of TM and its introduction into clinical practice is associated with a number of barriers that are associated with patients, medical professionals, as well as various technical, legal, ethical and economic problems. The presented article refers to a narrative review focused on some sources for the purpose of an unstructured description of the direction of interest. The search for literary sources was carried out in PubMed, eLibrary systems for 1995–2023 by keywords: telemedicine, telemedicine technologies, telemedicine in cardiology, telemedicine efficiency, remote control systems, telemonitoring, telemedicine in practice. The article presents the information about the role of TM in certain groups of cardiac patients, namely in patients with implanted medical devices, hypertension, chronic heart failure, high cardiovascular risk, as well as the elderlypatients and in cardiac rehabilitation. Changes in the areas of TM use are discussed, namely, attempts to use it in emergency pathology, in particular in acute coronary syndrome. CONCLUSION: Despite the absence of a common global practice and approaches to TM and the well-known barriers restraining its development, the prospects of this direction are beyond doubt. The spread of new TM technologies contributes to the improvement of providing health services system. It allows doctors to work with patients more efficiently and increases the opportunities of patients to receive expert advice. The accumulated scientific knowledge, the gradual adaptation of TM to the user’s needs, taking into account practical experience, make it possible to use this technology successfully in different groups of cardiac patients. In the future, artificial intelligence will be connected and trained to expand the opportunities for remote data analysis and the possibility of remote monitoring of patients' health, related regulatory issues will be resolved, as well as of the liability of the parties will be clearly defined. In the context of increasing demand for TM with an increase in the level of security of services provided and data protection, a global spread of advanced professional knowledge and skills is expected to improve public health.

미디어 영역에서 인공지능(AI) 기술의 확산과 제문제

As artificial intelligence technology spreads widely and the level of technology increases, it is causing various social problems. In particular, some artificial intelligence contents are generated so elaborately that it cannot be easily distinguished by general users. If it is not specifically marked as 'content generated by artificial intelligence technology' or 'ai', it may mixed with other contents.
 We have had high expectations that artificial intelligence technology would bring unprecedented innovation. Due to artificial intelligence technology, however, the contents created by using artificial intelligence technology in all over the world have faced serious social problems, and efforts are being made to find a solution in various places. In particular, there are cases where facts that do not actually exist are fabricated or distributed, posted, or used as if they were human-made works.
 By technological development continues, there will eventually come a moment when artificial intelligence created content and human-created content will be mixed and it will be difficult to distinguish them without a special method. If it becomes impossible to differentiate the value and characteristics of the production process and results of each content or the boundaries between content will become blurred, content creation activities in which humans have invested a long time and effort will gradually shrink.
 Korea is pursuing the enactment of the Artificial Intelligence Act to establish policies, including support necessary for the fostering and development of artificial intelligence technology, and to stipulate obligations to protect artificial intelligence service users. Because it takes a considerable amount of time to establish a legal system and apply actual regulations, however, it is moment to discuss identification measures such as watermarks to prevent mis-recognition and confusion regarding artificial intelligence contents that are currently occurring.
 If standards are established to distinguish contents using artificial intelligence technology, the differentiation between human-created content and artificial intelligence created content will be maintained and the value of each content will not be damaged. It is also expected to help prevent copyright protection protected by law from being infringed and protect users. Above all, in the future, there is a risk that artificial intelligence content and human-created works will not be distinguished, resulting in misunderstanding and confusion, which is reducing the value of existing works and weakening the sense of protection for them. Therefore, there is a need to seriously discuss countermeasures before these problems become bigger.

Technologies in Migration Processes: Mediation in Communication and Social Capital

Aim. This article presents an ethnographic exploration of technology use among migrants. The main question explored is how migration processes are mediated by communication between migrants and their support network, considering the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
 Methods. Multi-situated and virtual ethnography have allowed researchers to access and obtain relevant discourse on the experiences, perceptions, and strategies of migrants in a non-invasive way.
 Results. In pre-digital contexts, support networks of friends and family provided sources of information in the development of migration projects. With the spread of technology, Facebook’s virtual communities are a means of facilitating migration strategies. Likewise, ICTs bring migrants and their families closer to the “there”, bolstering their bonding social capital and therefore their emotional well-being. Despite the language barriers, and the stereotypes and prejudices held by native-born residents, virtual social networks allow migrants to strengthen their bridging social capital, facilitating the integration of different Latin American migrant groups in the destination society.
 Conclusion. Today, ICTs have transformed migration strategies and expanded bonding social capital, allowing migrants to share common interests with their family setting, despite the distance. Limited interaction between migrants and native-born residents restricts bridging social capital, but the virtual sphere allows the Latin American diaspora to pursue common interests and overcome cultural barriers.

Development of a monitoring system for technological equipment of a meat processing plant

Relevance. In the production of meat products and semi-finished products, equipment from the 1990s is often used. Such equipment is not equipped with modern means of transmitting diagnostic data and information about the current status via wireless communication, and requires periodic monitoring during the work shift. Lack of timely diagnostic data can lead to equipment failures and unexpected downtime. At the same time, the development of technical means of communication makes it possible to connect industrial equipment to the Internet and remotely receive data on the current state of the equipment online.Methods. The objects of the study were the MULTIVAC R5200 vacuum thermoforming packaging machine and thermal chambers with installed controllers Aditec MIC 2410, Aditec TP 1000, MIKSTER MCC 2100. Methods of object-oriented programming in Python 3.4.4 were used for the monitoring system under study. For network interaction of technological equipment with cloud services, the MQTT-v3.1.1 data transfer protocol was used.Results. The use of a monitoring system based on the industrial Internet of Things platform made it possible: when packing boiled and smoked sausages, to reduce the maintenance time of the packaging machine and the consumption of spare parts, to reduce the production of low-quality products; when carrying out technological processes in thermal chambers, to completely eliminate spoilage of semi-finished products, to improve the quality of the finished product. In the future, the spread of such technology to the equipment of the entire enterprise will make it possible to solve the problems of collecting a large amount of data on the current state of the equipment, conducting analysis and making managerial decisions.

Social Media as Lieux for the Convergence of Collective Trajectories of Holocaust Memory—A Study of Online Users in Germany and Italy

By articulating a shared victimhood or guilt or responsibility, memorial museums are designed as ethical projects that encourage visitors to learn from the past to build a “better future”. In contemporary Europe, Holocaust memorials and museums constitute a trajectory of remembrance about public Holocaust memory that consolidates political legitimacy and articulates national narratives of the legacy of WWII. In parallel, increasing adoption and spread of digital technologies have resulted in a convergence and a globalisation of themes and user interests associated with Holocaust memory. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perspectives and interests of users of the social media profiles of a group of Holocaust museums and memorials in Germany and Italy. Using a primarily quantitative approach, the study sought to understand the motivations, interests, and online activities of users of nine Holocaust museums and memorials. While national narratives regarding public policy continue to diverge in the two countries, users express a convergence of interests and motivations when using these social media profiles. This dual venture of Holocaust memory is a complex yet powerful example of how the globalisation of digital media is playing an increasingly significant role in European contemporary society.

Atoms for Peace in the 1950s: Lessons from the Spread of Nuclear Technology in the Early Cold War

Abstract The articles in this special issue shed light on the influence of the Eisenhower administration's “Atoms for Peace” proposal on the civilian nuclear programs of five European countries, including Italy and France, which were member-states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); Hungary and Czechoslovakia, which were part of the USSR's Communist bloc; and Spain, which did not become a member of NATO until nearly three decades later. Based on detailed archival research, the articles analyze the commercial, scientific, practical, and cultural aspects of nascent nuclear research programs in these five countries. The authors demonstrate that all five acted early on to pursue peaceful nuclear activities for their own economic benefit.

A micro-economic model of the market uptake of truck platooning

Truck platooning is a technology allowing trucks to travel in convoy formation using wireless communications and advanced driver assistance systems. This technology is expected to increase road safety and capacity, and to decrease fuel consumption and GHG emissions; it comes with apparently important financial benefits and positive externalities. However, forecasting the market uptake of platooning is a complex economic issue, requiring a dedicated methodology.From a micro-economic standpoint, several features of truck platooning are important. First, forming a platoon implies a coordination cost. Second, platooning requires trucks with specific and costly equipment. That makes platooning a two-layer problem. Third, the decision of one carrier depends on those of other carriers: truck platooning, as a market, is characterized with network externalities. Fourth, road freight transportation is a heterogeneous system: different vehicles follow different operation patterns.This paper submits a micro-economic model of the uptake of platooning which accounts for all of the above points. First, a conditional sub-model of platoon formation is designed, where two trucks decide whether to form a platoon or not based on the net monetary benefits of doing so. Then, platoon formation is modeled in a simplified, single road context, as a Markov chain. At that stage, the share of platoonable trucks entering the market is obtained with a numerical, dynamic model. Upgrading conventional trucks to become compatible with platooning is assumed impossible.The paper concludes that due to the positive feedback loop of network externalities, market uptake is very sensitive to the economic assumptions. In addition, due to the equipment and coordination costs induced by platooning, the overall financial benefits for carriers are much lower than what they would initially appear to be; third, energy savings can be significant on the long run if the technology spreads widely.

The use of augmented reality technology in the training of specialists in the operation and repair of multi-purpose armored military vehicles

One of the promising trends in modern training is the maximum immersion of students in educational material in order to ensure the immersiveness of education. To increase the efficiency of the educational process, new information technologies are being actively introduced. Such technology is augmented reality (AR). Augmented reality allows you to implement this approach using smartphones, tablets and computers. Currently, two approaches are used: marker and marker-free technology. The use of augmented reality is possible both online and offline. Materials for the implementation of this technology in the educational process are usually prepared by IT companies using languages and programming tools of their own development, which somewhat reduces the availability of technology for ordinary users (both teachers and students). The purpose of this study is to analyze the reasons that limit the spread of augmented reality technology in the educational process and to offer own solution to this issue. On the example of using the Aurasma platform, an option of introducing augmented reality technology into process of training of operators of multi-purpose armored military vehicles is proposed. The proposed option of using public software and devices for the development and application of the information system allows students to study the device, the principle of its operation, features of diagnostics and maintenance of systems, units and components of the military vehicle. The proposed technology of augmented reality allows to increase the level of remote learning of information material by 8.2%, as well as to ensure the formation of highly qualified bachelors, masters or doctors of philosophy upon implementation of remote learning technologies in higher education. With the development of information transmission technology 5G and above, the need for such information systems will grow. The decrease in the cost of smartphones, tablets and other devices, such as augmented reality glasses, will also give an additional impetus to the development of this technology.

Mobility in the information society: a holistic model

Ukraine’s National Strategy for Education Development aims to align its education system with global standards and sustainable development goals. One of the key objectives is to integrate higher education with European norms, offer diverse educational models, and meet information and communication needs. The European Commission supports this integration process by fostering initiatives such as the Bologna process, mobility, and cooperation with programs like Erasmus+. Mobility, enabled by information and communication technologies, is essential for building the European educational and scientific space. This paper explores the different aspects of mobility, such as geographic, social, professional, academic, learning, software, hardware, and technological mobility. It investigates how they relate to each other within socio-pedagogical and technical systems, highlighting their importance for the information society. Using historical and contemporary perspectives, the paper develops a holistic model of mobility in the information society. Future research directions include the dynamic evolution of mobility within higher education systems, its sociocultural implications, and its intersection with technological innovations and state-political transformations. Furthermore, the phenomenon of mobility in technological and pedagogical systems, driven by the spread of mobile information and communication technologies, deserves more attention.

OS05.7.A MICROLENS: EXPLORING THE GAP BETWEEN PATIENT AND CAREGIVER NEEDS, AND TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN AI-ENABLED MEDICAL IMAGE INTERPRETATION

Abstract BACKGROUND MicroLens aims to co-develop tools and functionality to enable patients & caregivers to view and understand their own brain tumour images, using an explicit design-led approach. Over 7 months we used meetings, written reports and online questionnaires to capture the views of 20 staff, patient and caregiver participants requirements for an AI-enhanced online medical image viewing tool. We have described our initial approach and results (1), but here we focus on how patient and caregiver needs differ from technological approaches described in the medical imaging literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS As part of the MicroLens project, we used thematic analysis to extract key patient, caregiver and staff concerns and needs. We then compared this with technical themes of the medical imaging technical literature, drawn from conference proceedings (MICCAI). RESULTS The desired level of technical performance was relatively low: patients and caregivers would mostly be happy with labelling of common simple structures and sides, rather than detailed annotation. Other desirable functionality was around sharing imaging with family members and better understanding of imaging. In contrast, the technical literature had a focus on tumour segmentation, classification and prediction of outcomes - none of which appeared in patients' desiderata. CONCLUSION Patients, caregivers and staff want very different functionality than the work being conducted in the technical literature. The reasons for this are interesting, and multi-factorial, but reinforce the need for patient-led development. We are currently implementing a prototype and our software developers are designing and developing five of the key tools that emerged from MicroLens project, based on a combination of our findings and theoretical approaches such as the NASSS framework (2).
