Correction of Psychological Defenses and Anxiety of Students Using VR Training Programs

This paper describes the correction of psychological defenses and anxiety of students through virtual training programs to optimize the educational process. The materials of an empirical study obtained on a sample of students of Smolensk universities are presented. The study involved respondents (N=63) aged 18 to 25 years (M=19.4, SD=0.25), of which 84% were male, 16% were female. The study was conducted in several stages. For the correction of mental characteristics were used, the test "Anxiety Research" was used (questionnaire of Ch.D. Spielberger-Yu.L. Khanina), the "Lifestyle Index" methodology, a virtual reality program to overcome nyctophobia. The reliability of the results obtained on changes in anxiety indicators and mechanisms of psychological protection of students was checked using the Fisher statistical criterion (F). The obtained results make it possible to say that the most sensitive to the effects of VR in the framework of the conversation were protective mechanisms: repression, regression, substitution, denial, which change the assessment of what is happening and the adequacy of behavioral and emotional reactions. Indicators for the "rationalization" mechanism in the control group and in the experimental group also underwent changes, but without significant results.
A Physically Inspired Implementation of Xenakis's Stochastic Synthesis: Diffusion Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis

Abstract This article presents an extension of Iannis Xenakis's Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis (DSS) called Diffusion Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis (DDSS). This extension solves a diffusion equation whose solutions can be used to map particle positions to amplitude values of several breakpoints in a waveform, following traditional concepts of DSS by directly shaping the waveform of a sound. One significant difference between DSS and DDSS is that the latter includes a drift in the Brownian trajectories that each breakpoint experiences through time. Diffusion Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis can also be used in other ways, such as to control the amplitude values of an oscillator bank using additive synthesis, shaping in this case the spectrum, not the waveform. This second modality goes against Xenakis's original desire to depart from classical Fourier synthesis. The results of spectral analyses of the DDSS waveform approach, implemented using the software environment Max, are discussed and compared with the results of a simplified version of DSS to which, despite the similarity in the overall form of the frequency spectrum, noticeable differences are found. In addition to the Max implementation of the basic DDSS algorithm, a MIDI-controlled synthesizer is also presented here. With DDSS we introduce a real physical process, in this case diffusion, into traditional stochastic synthesis. This sort of sonification can suggest models of sound synthesis that are more complex and grounded in physical concepts.
The Public Sector Cloud Service Procurement in Sweden

This paper investigates the use of cloud services in the public sector and management of information security challenges in the procurement of such services. The findings are based on an exploratory approach that included a systematic literature review and a survey among the public agencies and municipalities in Sweden. The literature review is used to derive a conceptual framework that structures our empirical results into the three groups: a) contractual and legal, b) operational and c) managerial competency. The survey explored all these three groups. Our findings show that the information security challenges are mostly related to the potential breaching of national security and laws applicable to cross-border cloud services. Most of the cloud contracts of public organizations are found to be supplier driven. In this case, lack of knowledge and awareness in managing procurement are mostly raised compared to technical risks.
Features of the Development of Online Scientific Periodicals on the Example of the Journal “ISTORIYA”

This review focuses on the history of the electronic scientific and educational journal “ISTORIYA”, stages of its formation and the factors influencing its development. The emergence of online journals, distinguished by the dynamic nature of filling the editorial portfolio providing a much higher level of scientific communication compared to traditional print publications, was a reflection of the rapid introduction of Internet technologies into the daily practice of the humanities. This led to a search for informational and technological solutions that would automate the ways of communicating and processing scientific periodicals against the background of the growth of publication activity and the widespread use of scientometrics. One of such solutions was the creation of publishing platforms, a striking representative of which was JES (Journal of Education and Science) developed in Russia in 2013, which subsequently provided automation of the editorial-publishing cycle for a number of socio-humanitarian journals. The Journal “ISTORIYA”, which at the time served as a guide to technological solutions that took into account the most current trends in the development of forms of scholarly communication, was a flagship publication of the platform. Due to this advantage? the Journal “ISTORIYA”, created by the efforts of the State Academic University for the Humanities and the Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has managed not only to take its rightful place among the leading scientific periodicals in a relatively short period of time, but also to acquire a reputation as a media of the highest quality, becoming a “business card” of successful integration of science, education and modern information technology.
Implementation of the Instrumental and Performing Experience of Students in Concert Activities

The article is devoted to the problem of students’ upbringing of active musicizing in the process of their performing activity. The aspects of improving the performing level and artistic and aesthetic development of students are considered. It is studied the students’ attitude to musical and artistic activity, to stage performance, which is the main component of fulfilment of a musician’s need to communicate and involve the listeners to the process of communicating with a piece of music. The necessary pianistic skills, various methods of preparation for a concert performance and for the process of pop performance of musical works are shown. The author considers the integrity of the perception of a musical work, the implementation of the synthesis of author’s and performing ideas, sound material and the search for its transmission to the listener, the analysis of factors that help professional, creative skill. The formation of a culture of professional-pedagogical and stage communication, the accumulation of relevant experience by students, due to the expansion and interaction of subjects of learning is shown. All this will give an impetus for a high level of communication between the teacher-student, the performer-listener and the achievement of mastery in professional, creative and performing activities. The basis of the student’s performing activity has always been the need to feel with the listener, and therefore the article very specifically shows the communicative aspects of musical performance.
Development of Creative Self-Expression of the Future Music Teachers by Means of Information Technologies

Based on the study of scientific literature of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, the issues of development of creative self-expression of the future music teachers by means of IT have been analysed. It is found that the current problem of development of creative self-expression of the future music teachers by means of information technologies is insufficiently covered in the scientific literature. This raises the problems of qualification training of the future teachers of music art who are able to work effectively in a globalised information society. The research methodology is based on general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical levels: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, and observation. The article reveals the essence of the concepts of “self-expression” and “creative self-expression”. The author notes that the creative self-expression of the individual can be both progressive and regressive. It is determined that the clearer a vocation for a person is, the more likely self-expression will be. According to the author, IT tools are the unique instruments which a person can realize themselves through and express their personality in a creative way. The use of IT in the studied process creates conditions for the implementation of series of functions: stimulating, guiding, organizing, motivating and developing. The author introduces pedagogical principles of creative self-expression of the future teachers of music art through the use of IT tools: the principle of personal orientation, independent activity, modeling, accessibility, as well as psychological and pedagogical conditions: personal comprehension of musical compositions of the future teachers of music art through the use of information technologies; encouraging students to use IT tools productively; providing information and communication comfort when students operate a computer. It is the author’s opinion that the introduction of IT in the educational process will significantly increase students’ awareness of the latest technologies, as well as enrich their musical and artistic knowledge.
University, Multiversity, Technoversity and Metaversity Should the Old Institution Be Buried?

The university crisis has become a kind of leitmotif. Our main hypothesis is that this crisis has more to do with the very idea of the university than with the methods of its management. This article attempts to take stock of the main “figures” or paradigms of the university. We develop three models: the university-institution focused on legitimacy through criticism and the search for truth, the university-organization (the multiversity) which tries to align the interests of different stakeholders through good governance and the university-instrument which legitimizes itself by its efficiency and its ability to instrumentalize. It is the reduction of the university-institution to the university-instrument which would be at the origin of the doubts on the present and the future of the university. In a second moment, we discuss the opportunities and challenges that the digital transition could pose to metaversity or the emerging university-platform. We conclude this work by answering the question of the advisability of a possible overcoming of the model of the university-institution.
‘Fake News’ in Asean: Legislative Responses

The ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have disparate legal traditions and contrasting systems of governance. However, one common trait is an authoritarian approach to regulation. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the approach to legislating the regulation of “fake news”. This is not to denigrate the need for regulation, as ASEAN has seen examples of fake news leading to catastrophic outcomes, such as the initiation of violence against the Rohingya and other Muslims in Myanmar in 2012. There are a number of common factors that should be addressed to provide a fairer and more transparent approach including the development of a concise definition as to what constitutes fake news. Rather than include fake news in omnibus legislation it would be better to develop anti-fake news legislation as either a stand-alone statute or as a specific amendment to existing legislation. Except in the most serious cases, creating, publishing or distributing fake news should be downgraded from a criminal offence to an administrative offence where the police issue a fine. In view of the documented publishing and spreading of misinformation, disinformation and mal-information by state actors, their servants and agents, there should be an explicit “fake news” offence associated the action of such persons.
IoT Data Security with Machine Learning Blckchain: Risks and Countermeasures

The IoT devices being involved in various applications, protection, and data confidentiality have become significant concerns nowadays. Security intimidations are rising at an alarming rate, rendering the current protection and privacy initiatives insufficient. Therefore everybody else on the internet is a hacker commodity. Accordingly, ML techniques are accustomed create meaningful productivities from great and composite records, where the productions produced can be accustomed to forecast and notice exploits in IoT-based models. Besides that, BC methods are now pretty famous for solving security issues in modern IoT systems. Several studies were performed either with ML techniques or with BC strategies. This research, however, discusses critical security issues using Machine learning algorithm or BC techniques and therefore involve a comprehensive survey of efforts made over the years to resolve protection and privacy problems using ML procedures or BC methods. In this segment, we present a review of the investigation labor's completed in the last few years, as of 2008 to 2020, to resolve safety and confidentiality challenges through machine learning procedures and BC technology in the IoT systems. At First, we deliberate and classify the numerous threats to confidentiality and protection recorded in the IoT domain over the past 12 years. We then describe the protection and privacy activities literature in the IoT ecosystem, based on ML techniques and Blockchain strategies. In the next fragment of this chapter, we evaluate multiple DL algorithms: RNN, DNN, RBM, deep belief networks, CNN, DBM, and deep autoencoders. We research output for each model within two classification categories (two-fold and multiclass) underneath two different specific traffic flow datasets, specifically the 'CSE-CIC-IDS2018' dataset and the 'Bot IoT' set of data. We often usage the furthermost critical act measures, specifically precision, probability of untruthful alarm, and recognition accuracy, to examine the effectiveness of multiple approaches. Lastly, we discuss and illuminate many problems and possible directions for study using Machine learning algorithms and Blockchain strategies to resolve IoT security and privacy challenges.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency clauses

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine an effective legal system that is not somehow inspired by nominalistic ideas. However, the principle of monetary nominalism is not necessary in correlation with other higher principles, such as the principle of fairness, for example. Thus, legislators build and implement corrective instruments in legal acts, most of the time allowing legal subjects to choose and adapt those instruments to best fit their economic interests. In that context, (foreign) currency clauses are probably the most frequently used instrument. Those norms, when implemented in contract, prevent the negative effects of domestic currency depreciation through the denomination of the amount of debt in foreign currency. Whether we regard them as currency or not, cryptocurrencies are increasingly becoming an important part of our digitalized economic world. So, unless the legislature strictly limits or abolishes the freedom of will (the principle of party autonomy) in contract law by banning cryptocurrencies, contracting parties can hedge against domestic currency depreciation by pegging the amount of debt to the exchange rate of one of thousands of existing cryptocurrencies. If parties choose to make such an agreement, it is most likely that they will peg the amount of debt to the Bitcoin exchange rate. If parties choose to make such an agreement, it is most likely that they will peg the amount of debt to the Bitcoin exchange rate. In this paper, the author analyzes (crypto)currency clauses nominated in Bitcoin and their effects on contract relations in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia. This research heavy relies on the advantages of the normative and the comparative method, and various techniques of the analytical method.
Electronic Music and Generative Remixing: Improving L-Systems Aesthetics and Algorithms

Abstract Postmodern art theories, overproduction, and digital technologies are testing the creativity, innovation, and social and political engagement of art. One Dadaist solution being explored by artists is the aesthetic possibilities associated with the conceptual process. For example, in the field of electronic music, producers and DJs are claiming that remixing is a genuine example of such a creative procedure; however, to justify this claim, remixing requires the bringing of the aesthetic foundations together using digital tools. The main problem is that digital audio workstations and plug-ins enclose artists in specific frameworks that blur the boundaries between true creativity and a perception of creativity. This article sought to develop remixing codes and software using Lindenmayer systems (L-systems), which are parallel rewriting systems with a type of formal grammar. As much of their potential remains unexplored, some algorithms and interface designs were developed to improve their interactive programming options. Finally, using the programmable L-systems as a genetic metaphor, some additions to musical morphing were developed as a starting point to building a generative remixing technique.
Hate Speech and Incitement in Malaysia

This chapter examines how COVID-19 not only instigates hate speech and incitement but also increases the vulnerabilities of migrants and refugees in Southeast Asia. It starts with a regional overview of public attitudes towards foreigners and refugees before narrowing down to illustrate how and why the Rohingya populations have become the target of hate speech and incitement in Malaysia. The detailed examination of the Rohingya in Malaysia is motivated by the fact that hateful remarks were expressed by online social media users as if there was a consensus among the local population. It is thus highly significant to understand such a phenomenon. The findings reveal that the global pandemic heightened public anxieties and subsequently led to the proliferation of hate speech and incitement against “unwanted” foreigners perceived as intruders in the country. The situation was also significantly worsened by the wide spread of misinformation about victims of hate speech, which in turn resulted in incitement of violence.
THE WAYS OF DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF EDUCATION QUALITY AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY IN THE CONTEMPORARY UNIVERSITY

The article deals with the analysis of the legislative provisions and regulations in the field of higher education in Ukraine and the regulatory framework of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. These legislative acts and regulations lay the foundation for the development of a culture of education quality and the corporate culture of the university. The study of the state of ensuring academic integrity within the framework of the AcademIQ project "Initiative for Academic Integrity and Quality Initiative", especially research of the interpretation of the survey of the teachers and students of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, allowed to outline the ways of developing a culture of quality in higher education, corporate culture of the university and academic integrity. The development of corporate culture and the quality of education at the university is associated with the articulation of the key values of the contemporary university community and the ethical virtues of all participants in the educational process. These values and virtues should be determined in broad discussions among students, teachers, and administration. The implementation of these values is possible through joint scientific, educational, methodological, cultural and social events, which can bring together all members of the university community. Teachers and students can internalize these values in different training courses. Ensuring academic integrity is possible through its procedural and institutional design. The important way for developing of academic integrity is raising awareness of all participants in the educational process through the increase of the content of internet sites, through broad discussions about complex cases of academic integrity, through the introduction of training modules into academic courses "Professional and Corporate Ethics", "Ethics", "Introduction on University Studies", "Academic Writing" .
OUR Shurijo : Shurijo Castle Digital Reconstruction with People's memories

A fire destroyed the Shuri Castle, an icon of Okinawan culture in Japan on October 31, 2019. I launched a project with a group of people who gathered on social media aiming to collect photographs and videos of the castle along with the memories from the public, and to digitally reconstruct 3D models of the castle so that they can be used as alternative touristic resources. The data has been collected through a website, and more than 80,000 images from 35 countries and regions have been received from about 3,000 unique contributors, half of whom sent their memories.
Axiological Basis of Exploratory Research in Art Education

Values that perform the function of general methodological reference-point in scientific cognition and artistic education are considered in the article, originality of axiological cognition and its semantic characteristics are educed, cognitive values are exposed at an exploratory research, value reference-points in artistic education are determined. It is proved that cognitive values become a direct determinant for the researcher, have a significant impact on understanding the meaning and objectives of research. Special and general scientific knowledge forms him as a specialist, involves him in scientific concepts, theories, scientific traditions, schools and methods of scientific activity. It is noted that the originality of the exploratory research in art education is manifested in purposeful axiological cognition, i.e. value-based semantic development and reproduction of human existence. The inseparable connection of axiological cognition with worldview, semantic and vital components of artistic activity is traced, and the categories “meaning” and “values” become key categories for understanding the specifics of axiological cognition. It is argued that the construction and understanding of the essence and content of the axiological environment should be considered in a methodological perspective — within the context of morality and spirituality as a form of social consciousness (epistemological approach), as a special way of spiritual and practical understanding of the world (ethical and aesthetic approach). as a regulator of behaviour (social approach). It is drawn conclusion, that the comprehension of category of “value” will allow to define the trajectory of development of educational space of axiology, work out strategy of preparation of future teachers-musicians, apt at work in the mode of the scientific and methodological dialogue valued, and also outline contours spiritually the valued and technological integration of the educational systems and cognitive process in the field of a culture and art.
