Rate Adaptive Mechanism for Semantic Communication Systems: A Robustness Verification Approach

Traditional rate adaptive mechanism aims to maximize spectral efficiency by choosing the optimal transmission under the premise of perfect bit-level data transmission. However, in semantic communication systems, imperfect bit transmission could still lead to good performance due to the error correction capability of neural networks. In this paper, we propose a novel rate adaptive mechanism to maximize spectral efficiency while guaranteeing the performance of semantic tasks. In order to analyze the robustness of neural network inference, we introduce the robustness verification problem in semantic communications. Then, we propose and solve the modulation scheme selection problem subject to the robustness probability threshold constraint. Afterwards, a rate adaptive mechanism with the optimal modulation scheme is proposed. Simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, followed by some important open challenges for future related work.
Association between anxiety and skin conductance according to the intensity of shaking of virtual reality images

Introduction Despite the advantages of virtual reality (VR), cyber sickness makes it difficult to apply VR to those who are already anxious and in distress. Skin conductance (SC) is widely used as a bio-signal reflecting anxiety. It is positively correlated with anxiety. The objective of this study was to determine the association between SC and anxiety in VR. Methods Healthy volunteers with moderate-to-high stress defined as a Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) score ≥20 were enrolled. STAI-X-1 was used to measure anxiety, and galvanic skin response was used to measure SC. This study used an open, randomized, crossover design. In this study, 360° videos consisted of two types, namely, less dizzying video (G1) and more dizzying video (G2). We randomized subjects into two groups according to video exposure order: G1 after watching G2 (Order 1) and G2 after watching G1 (Order 2). Of 81 subjects, the average age (±SD) was 39.98 ± 10.94 years for the Order 1 group and 36.54 ± 12.44 years for the Order 2 group. Results Anxiety was significantly decreased in the Order 2 group ( p &amp;lt; 0.035) after watching videos, whereas there was no significant change in anxiety in the Order 1 group. In both groups, SC was significantly increased after exposure to a dizzying video. Mean difference (SD) between the second VR video and baseline SC was 1.61 (1.07) ( p &amp;lt; 0.0001) in the Order 1 group and 0.92 (0.90) ( p &amp;lt; 0.0001) in the Order 2 group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( p &amp;lt; 0.003). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups ( p &amp;lt; 0.077) after baseline correction. Conclusion Anxiety was decreased significantly in the Order 2 group. The Order 1 group showed a high rate of change in skin conductivity. It is possible to reduce SC and anxiety by viewing a less dizzying VR video first and then viewing a more dizzying video later.

Empowering Authors and Revolutionising Publishing: The Decentralised Approach Using Blockchain

This study looks into how Blockchain technology can be used to establish a decentralised method to book publishing. Traditional publishing strategies can present authors with obstacles such as limited control over their work, money processing issues, and limited access to distribution outlets. The decentralised model afforded by Blockchain technology, on the other hand, has the potential to give authors more control over their work, smoother payment processing, and more distribution channels. The study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of employing Blockchain technology in book publishing and the possible impact on the sector as a whole. The study also includes a prototype of a decentralised publishing platform based on Blockchain technology, which allows authors to upload their work directly to the platform, receive real-time payment, and experience a more transparent and equitable publication process. The front-end of the platform was built with javascript. While writing the smart contract, solidity was employed. According to the findings of this study, Blockchain technology has the potential to transform the book publishing industry by empowering authors and boosting transparency and justice in the publication process.
Teaching English Conditionals Through Data-Driven Learning (DDL): Perspectives of In-Service EFL Teachers

Research has demonstrated that L2 English learners’ acquisition of grammar can be facilitated by Data-Driven Learning (DDL), which clearly promotes inductive learning and learner-centeredness (e.g. Boontam &amp; Phoochaoroensil, 2018). This present study focuses on the impacts of DDL on Thai secondary and tertiary educators’ introduction of English conditionals. The participants were taught using corpus-based DDL materials representing authentic use of conditionals for six weeks. It was shown in the interview results that DDL is useful and enhances learners’ self-discovery of L2 grammar rules regarding conditionals. Not only does DDL enable learners to notice the three classic if-conditional types but also it allows them to explore alternative, i.e. mixed, types of conditionals, which are often overlooked by textbooks. Some concerns about the use of DDL in a broader context of ELT deal with school budgets and students’ need of technical help.

The phenomenon of digital deanthropologization in the concepts of new materialists

Introduction. The challenges of the posthuman- istic phase transition lead to a critical response from representatives of the anthropological trend in philosophy. Going into the sphere of determin- ism of digital discourse overcomes a person in all his previous discourses, since what was constantly perceived as ontic and ontological in being loses its meaning and value in the coordinates of digital relations. It is important to define the term “digital”, which in the study is represented in numbers and following the logic of an algorithm that eliminates anthropological reality, understood as the subjec- tivity of human existence. The purpose of the paper is to represent the con- cepts of the new materialists, who propose to overcome the man not only in his spiritual, but also in bodily dimensions in comparison with the com- plexity paradigm and the concept of M. Heidegger. Methods. The author uses methods of analyzing philosophical concepts of the new materialists, M. Heidegger and representatives of complexity theory. Scientific novelty of the research lies in discovery- ing the connection between M. Heidegger’s concept of quaternary and the concepts of complexity theory, including the new materialists’ theories. The transition of the ontological model of Heidegger’s concept into the ontic construct of the latest ma- terialistic thought is traced. The author reveals the difference between authentic and non-authentic modes of virtuality. Results. According to D. Haraway, an alterna- tive is a form of interspecific mixing, in which the monstrous, which was previously a marker of the boundaries of the human, breaks into the anthro- pological topic, reshaping it according to the digital patterns of the posthuman world. This inversion of the Heideggerian world project of quaternary makes it possible to eliminate the ontological plane of being, solving the problem of man’s exclusivity in the direction of its elimination from the discourse of modern philosophy. Conclusions. Comparison of the approaches of M. Heidegger, accelerationists and Russian philoso- phy provides an opportunity to clarify important aspects of digital deanthropologization.
Artistic creativity as a tool for achieving human integrity

Introduction. One of the most important exis- tential problems of a person is the problem of gaining inner integrity. The main “tool” for solving this problem has always been religious and (more widely) spiritual practices, which have become dif- ficult for representatives of European culture due to the destruction of traditional society. At the be- ginning of the 20th century, non-classical works of art appeared as one of the alternatives to spiritual practice, helping their creator to solve the problem of “self-construction”. This article discusses such works in various fields of art from the point of view of applied philosophy. The purpose of the paper is to show the role of an art work as a tool for self-knowledge and “self-con- struction of the author” using the examples from different areas of art. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was the theory of discreteness of existential time by Descartes, the concept of life as an effort in time (Mamardashvili, Proust), the concept of “out of na- ture” of the human phenomenon (Mamardashvili). Scientific novelty of the research. The universal- ity of the “self-construction” technique is shown by creating a work of art of a non-classical type. The role of the space of color forms as a tool of nature- like “self-construction” of a person is established. The authors set the task to apply the considered technique when working with students of creative specialties in practice. Results. 1. It is shown that a work of art as a tool for gaining the inner integrity of the author is possible not only in the field of literature (“stream of consciousness”), but also in cinema, music and painting. 2. It is shown that a work of art can be not only a tool of “self-construction”, but also a tool of self- destruction 3. It is shown that the space of living color forms can be an instrument of nature-like “self-construc- tion”. И. Artistic creativity in any field of art can be not only a form of the author’s self-expression, but also an effective tool to achieve the integrity of the inner world of the author and the reader (viewer), working with a piece of art as a record of the “work of consciousness”.
MULTIVARIATE FUZZY APPROXIMATION BY NEURAL NETWORK OPERATORS ACTIVATED BY A GENERAL SIGMOID FUNCTION

Here is studied in detail the multivariate fuzzy approximation to the multivariate unit by multivariate fuzzy neural network operators activated by a general sigmoid function. These operators are multivariate fuzzy analogs of earlier studied multivariate Banach space valued ones. The derived results generalize earlier Banach space valued ones into the fuzzy level. Here the high order multivariate fuzzy pointwise and uniform convergences with rates to the multivariate fuzzy unit operator are given through multivariate fuzzy Jackson type inequalities involving the multivariate fuzzy moduli of continuity of the mth order (m ≥ 0) H-fuzzy partial derivatives, of the involved multivariate fuzzy number valued function. The treated operators are of averaged, quasi-interpolation, Kantorovich and quadrature types at the multivariate fuzzy setting.
Reliable and Secure Data Transfer in IoT Networks using Knight-Tour and PHLSB Method

Data security has recently become the most pressing problem for corporate owners and even regular people due to the continual development in the speed of data transmission over the entire Internet, and stricter regulations have been made for data protection. Secure key management is now essential for securing information exchange due to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapidly advancing mobile device technologies. Smart home and healthcare IoT apps, for instance, offer automated services to users with little user involvement. Data transmission delays and intrusions can affect existing security solutions that use a single link. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed key management scheme for IoT ecosystem. The methods Knight-Tour and polynomial-based hash least significant bit (PHLSB) that take use of flaws in the human visual system (HVS) are combined to form a hybrid approach to image steganography in this research. The Knight's trip path is a chess board layout that follows the route of a horse without stopping at any of the nodes again. In order to create the scrambled image, this travel path pattern is employed to permute the original image's pixel positions. Prior to being masked behind a cover image, this technique makes sure the communication has been encrypted. A strong mathematical tool is a polynomial equation. The cover object's data was hidden using these equations as a secret key. The suggested solution efficiently secures IoT devices by assigning the resource-intensive encryption processing to local organisations. As a result of the proposed framework's simulation findings, network lifetime PDR (Packet Drop Ratio) has improved, throughput has increased, energy consumption has decreased, and latency has decreased.
The Effects of Head Pose and Face Roundness on Age Progression in Children Faces

Background: This paper analyzes the geometric changes in human face during childhood to estimate the related age; cranial changes are used as age-progression features within childhood stage (0-12) years. Infant face is close to the circular shape turning to an ellipse shape over age progression face oval is determined and drawn using face landmarks, were it’s robust against opening mouth, thinness, fatness or face occlusion by hair.&#x0D; Materials and Methods: The experiments depending on two types of face dataset. First one is the standard FG-NET dataset, which was provided with face landmark points numbered from 1 to 68 [14, 15]. Besides, an Internet-based collected data set of (3010) face images extracted from Daily Photo Project.&#x0D; Results: Drawn face ellipse provided set of measures that significantly modeled changes in forehead size and face roundness. Studied age period was between birth and 12 years old. Exaggerated head size at birth provides round face with big forehead, which starts shrinking as age progresses natural face.&#x0D; Conclusion: Face ellipse provided efficient measures and distances to represent face changes along childhood. Comparing with published researches in young-face age estimation, proposed face ellipse recorded encouraging results.&#x0D;
An Investigation into NAFDAC Intervention on the Incidence of Fake and Counterfeit Drugs in Nigeria

Various interventions, including innovative technologies, have been used to solve problems. Over the years, the Nigerian government has introduced a good healthcare delivery system, including providing quality, efficacious and affordable drugs. The study used a qualitative design method adopting a focus group discussion approach. The selected states for the study are Lagos, Kano, Anambra and FCT Abuja. The study population comprised NAFDAC stakeholders who are dealers in pharmaceutical products or Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs) of medicines, Consumers and Policymakers. The focus group participants were selected based on convenience sampling. The interventions highlighted were Mobile Authentication Services (MAS), on-the-spot checks on drugs through a TruScan, Black-Eye and Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID). The respondents also highlighted using NAFDAC registration numbers and holograms as important ways of checking the features of medicine before using it. The participants also highlighted the lack of public awareness about these interventions and the need for proper regulation and enforcement of laws against the sale and distribution of fake drugs as challenges that hinder the successful development and implementation of interventions against fake and counterfeit drugs. The participants suggested KYC measures to address issues within the supply chain to evaluate the effectiveness of their current strategies. Regular meetings, advocacy efforts, and educational workshops are recommended to raise awareness and educate stakeholders about their roles and responsibilities in pursuit of addressing the challenges related to counterfeit drug interventions. Keywords: Focus group discussion (FGD), Investigation, Intervention, Counterfeit, Technology.
Role of Blended Learning in Higher Education: Students’ “First Steps” to Precarious Work and Social Life

Introduction. The discussion of the challenges and consequences of permanent crises for university life from the point of view of students is centered around the problem of quality of higher education. The author proposes to measure it in the context of the transition of Russian universities to the model of blended learning through the indicator of perception of learning formats. The aim of the article is to determine the parameters of positive and negative attitudes of potential students to higher education with online elements, to highlight its advantages and disadvantages. Materials and Methods. The answers to these questions are based on empirical research data: the results of an online survey conducted in 2021–2022 among full-time undergraduate and graduate applicants to one of the largest Russian universities; additional surveys conducted by the authors in 2015 (using a similar methodology); semi-structured interviews conducted at the end of the academic year with first-year students from among those surveyed in the quantitative study in 2021, university graduates (using a similar methodology); semi-structured interviews conducted at the end of the academic year with first-year students from among those surveyed in the quantitative research in 2021, university graduates working in the digital sphere in 2021. Results. The results of the study showed that studentsʼ positive attitudes towards blended and online learning are constantly increasing, with this result being characteristic of undergraduate students. Flexible learning is gradually becoming a more natural process of higher education in studentsʼ perception. The interviews provide insights into studentsʼ greater engagement in a blended learning educational environment. Such experiences increase their adaptability to changing work content. The limitations of the blended learning model are related to the fact that conservative students (“pro” traditional education) have more stable orientations for self-realization in the specialty. Discussion and Conclusion. The conclusions made by the author contribute to the development of scientific ideas about the relationship between the labor market and higher education, where the preparation of young people for unstable employment and social life becomes a key task. An important role in blended learning is the development of elements of studentsʼ agency through mastering digital skills, ability to plan in response to the challenges of instability of future work and social life.
The Role of Dragon Fruit Consumption (Hylocereus polyrhizus) against Plaque Reduction in Students at SD Negeri 106806 Cinta Rakyat, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia

Dragon fruit contains fiber, which is good for digestion and oral health. Fiber can help clean teeth by binding to plaque and food particles that can cause gum disease. The vitamin C contained in dragon fruit is a powerful antioxidant and can help strengthen gum tissue. This can help prevent gum inflammation (gingivitis), which is the initial stage of gum disease. Because dragon fruit has a high water content, consuming this fruit can also help maintain oral moisture, which is important for healthy teeth. A dry mouth can increase the risk of plaque formation. This study aimed to determine the potential for consuming dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) against plaque reduction in students at SD Negeri 106806 Cinta Rakyat, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia. This study is experimental research with a one-group pre and post-test approach. This study uses primary data obtained from measuring the degree of plaque on the teeth of research subjects. A total of 30 research subjects participated in this study, where the research subjects met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the dental plaque scores of students at SD Negeri 106806, Cinta Rakyat, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, decreased significantly before and after eating dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus), with a value of p=0.0001 (p≤0.05). These results indicate that there is an influence of dragon fruit consumption (Hylocereus polyrhizus) on reducing dental plaque in research subjects.
