Published: December 2023

Wi-Fi networks have become a critical infrastructure in many organisations, including the Directorate of Innovation and Business Incubator. However, potential vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi networks also increase as technology advances. Therefore, testing is needed to identify and address security that can harm network users. This research aims to implement penetration testing tools in testing the security level of Wi-Fi networks at the Directorate of Innovation and Business Incubator. The penetration testing method is used to test security and assess the level of resistance to attacks on Wi-Fi in the form of simulated attacks. One of the operating systems that provides penetration testing tools that meet the needs of testing is linux times. The tools used in the penetration testing process are airmon-ng, airodump-ng, aireplay-ng, aircrack-ng, macchanger, ettercap and wireshark. The results showed that the Wi-Fi security of the Directorate of Innovation and Business Incubator still needs to be improved where the results of the four types of attacks only one failed, namely MAC Spoofing. In addition, the tests on Denial of Service, Cracking the Encryption, and Man-in-the-Middle attacks were successful. The application of anticipation by increasing Wi-Fi security based on the attacks that have been carried out can prevent these attacks.

UMA ANÁLISE ATUALIZADA SOBRE: A SÍNDROME DO NINHO VAZIO
Authors: Capalbo Alessander Carregari
Published: December 2023

Introdução: No panorama da evolução das dinâmicas familiares, a Síndrome do Ninho Vazio desponta como um estágio crítico, marcado pelo êxodo dos filhos do ambiente doméstico. Esta fase é notoriamente permeada por um espectro de emoções complexas nos genitores, incluindo sensações de isolamento e tristeza profunda. Tais sentimentos precipitam uma introspecção significativa sobre a essência do papel parental e a identidade pessoal. O presente estudo se propõe a desvendar as sutilezas desse fenômeno, com ênfase particular nas dimensões psicológicas e patológicas que caracterizam a Síndrome do Ninho Vazio. Objetivo: O propósito central desta investigação é a exploração exaustiva e a avaliação crítica da literatura existente acerca da Síndrome do Ninho Vazio. Pretende-se, assim, tecer uma ligação entre os achados literários e os progressos recentes nos campos da fisiopatologia e psicologia. O alvo é alcançar uma compreensão abrangente das implicações desta síndrome no contexto familiar moderno. Método: Foi empregada a metodologia de Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, enriquecida por uma análise acurada de publicações científicas. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (MedLine), com foco no termo "empty nest syndrome". O intervalo temporal para a seleção dos artigos abrangeu de 2007 a 2021, em línguas portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola. Foram excluídos trabalhos de cunho acadêmico, como teses e dissertações, além de artigos duplicados ou não pertinentes ao assunto. Resultados: A curadoria resultou em quatorze artigos, analisados sob três prismas distintos: os aspectos psicológicos, fisiopatológicos e socioeconômicos vinculados à Síndrome do Ninho Vazio. As investigações revelam que a vivência do ninho vazio é moldada por uma multiplicidade de variáveis, englobando gênero, condição socioeconômica, e fatores culturais e geográficos. Observa-se uma relação causal entre transtornos psiquiátricos e a Síndrome do Ninho Vazio, sugerindo que a adaptação dos pais a esta nova realidade pode ter repercussões tanto positivas quanto negativas na saúde mental e na harmonia familiar. Conclusão: A Síndrome do Ninho Vazio se apresenta como um fenômeno intrincado e influenciado por fatores individuais e coletivos. Compreender essas variáveis é fundamental para a formulação de estratégias de apoio efetivas para os pais durante essa fase de transição. O estudo ressalta a necessidade de abordagens adaptadas e sensíveis às particularidades culturais, visando auxiliar as famílias a navegar com sucesso por esta etapa desafiadora da vida familiar.

Authors: Rashmi Ranjan  , Rajesh Kumar Choudhary  , Ravi Kumar Singh
Published: December 2023

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent diseases found in all parts of the world. It is a complex heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders including hyperglycemia and is associated with imbalances in carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. The management of diabetes mellitus is considered a global problem. In current allopathic therapy, oral hypoglycaemic agents and insulin are used to control diabetic conditions. Traditional herbal drugs with multiple phytoconstituents and properties have been used as medicines for the treatment of a wide range of diabetes. Herbal medicines have been intrinsically safe, due to their natural occurrence, efficacy, and fewer side effects. The active molecules present in different phytoconstituents of herbal medicines act by different mechanisms to reduce the amount of glucose level in the blood. The functional efficiency of these active molecules largely depends on their physicochemical properties. In the present study, the physicochemical properties of important plant active molecules are analyzed and assessed which have antidiabetic potential and are particularly involved in regeneration of pancreatic β-cells.

Gıda ve Tarım Piyasalarında Regülasyonun Önemi
Authors: EŞTÜRK Özlem , KAYA Serkan
Published: December 2023

İktisat politikalarının temel amacı kaynak dağılımında, etkinliğin sağlanması ve toplumsal refahın en yüksek seviyeye çıkarılmasıdır. Ancak bu durum, serbest piyasa ekonomisi koşullarında her zaman ve her sektör için çok mümkün görünmemektedir. Bu bağlamda, kaynak dağılımda etkinliğin ve adaletin sağlanmasında, toplumsal refahın yükseltilmesinde devletin piyasalara aktif müdahalesi gerekebilir. Serbest piyasa mekanizmasının hakim olduğu günümüzde devlete biçilen rol, devletin doğrudan piyasalara müdahalesi olmayıp hakemlik görevi üstlenerek regülasyon işlevlerini yerine getirmesidir.

Devletin piyasalara ilişkin regülasyon ihtiyacı, birçok alanda olduğu gibi geçmişten günümüze kadar gıda ve tarım piyasalarında da hissedilmiştir. Devlet tarafından gıda ve tarım piyasalarının düzenlenmesi ile piyasanın yaratacağı olumsuzlukların ve bilgi eksikliklerinin giderilmesi sağlanabilir. Bu kapsamda piyasa ekonomisinin yaratmış olduğu piyasa başarısızlığına karşı devlet tarafından oluşturulacak sistematik kurumsal bir yapıya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Böylelikle, sosyo-ekonomik sorunların çözümünde, sürdürülebilir gıda güvencesi ve sosyal istikrarın sağlanması için etkin ve elverişli koşullar yaratılmasında devletin gıda ve tarım piyasalarına ilişkin düzenlemeleri zaruri hale gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, tarım ve gıda piyasalarına yönelik düzenleme ve denetleme kurumunun oluşturulması yönünde regülasyonların önemi ve gerekliliği tartışılmıştır.

Authors: MERAL İsa Gürkan , YILDIRIM Uğur , AYTEKİN İbrahim
Published: December 2023

Çalışmanın ana amacı, Türkiye’de iller bazında İnsani Gelişim Endeksi(İGE)’nin hesaplanması ve Türkiye’nin iller bazında İGE açısından 2022 yılında bulunduğu konumun belirlenmesidir. Ülkeler için gelişim veya gelişmişlik kavramı, 1950’den 1970’li yıllara kadar sadece ekonomik boyutla ölçülmüştür. Ancak gelişimin sadece ekonomik açıdan ölçülmesinin çok kısıtlı düzeyde kalacağı açıktır. Gelişim kavramı, insanların sağlıklı, mutlu, huzurlu ve iyi bir ortamda yaşaması olarak tanımlanabilmektedir. Gelişim, ülkedeki gelir artışı dışında, kültürel, sosyal ve siyasi değişimleri de ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada 2022 verileriyle hesaplanan İGE’nde, Türkiye’nin iller bazında konumuna ilişkin bilgiler içermektedir. Ayrıca çalışmada, Türkiye’deki her bir il için İGE değerleri hesaplanması ve şehirlerin sınıflandırılması çalışmada literatüre yapılan bir başka katkıdır. Çalışmada İGE hesaplamasında, eğitim boyutunda yapılan hesaplamalar da ana endeks değişkenlerine iller bazında ulaşamadığından farklılaşmıştır. Yapılan formülizasyona çalışmanın yöntem boyutunda yer verilmiştir. Ayrıca İGE her bir alt boyutuna ilişkin iller bazında değerlendirmelere de çalışmada yer verilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Türkiye’de en yüksek insani gelişime sahip olan iller sırasıyla Kocaeli, Ankara, İstanbul olurken, en düşük insani gelişime sahip olan iller sırasıyla Ağrı, Şanlıurfa ve Van olarak bulunmuştur. Türkiye’de bulunan 81 ilden 20’si çok yüksek insani gelişime sahip, 59’u yüksek insani gelişime sahip ve 1’i düşük insani gelişime sahip olarak sınıflandırılmıştır.
Subsurface zone detected in pure nickel by positron annihilation; Hall-Patch effect notification
Authors: Dryzek Jerzy
Published: December 2023

A dry sliding test and sequential etching technique, combined with positron lifetime measurements on pure nickel, revealed an area of damage below the worn surface extending to a depth of hundreds of micrometers. Some correlation was found between the value of the mean positron lifetime measured directly on the worn surface and the coefficient of friction. The obtained dependency rather confirms the normal Hall-Patch regime. There was no correlation with the specific wear rate.
ARTISANAL GEM MINING IN THE URALS: AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL DIMENSION
Authors:   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of the RAS, Danilova Elena N.
Published: December 2023

The article presents the first results of a collective project aims at describing the phenomenon of artisanal gem mining in the Urals at the present time. The research is based on the use of a complex of field qualitative methods, the theoretical and conceptual context is the anthropology of precious minerals. The focus of the work is the Middle Urals community in one way or another “connected with stone”; first of all, those people for whom gem mining is a trade, a passion, a way of life. In the Urals, such people are called artisanal miners, hitniks, diggers, prospectors. The plots of the personal motives of gem hunters are considered; formation of the value of the mineral itself in the process of its interaction with humans. Over three and a half centuries the Ural gems have become one of the culture-forming features of the region and a special type of stone culture with its own patterns and logic of development has been constructed around the artisanal gem mining. Thanks to the distribution of activity space and “stone” specialization, the originality of this culture has been preserved to this day. The main problem that stone lovers face and which stands in the way of the revival of the historical craft is the unsettled legislation of the “stone” industry and the lack of legalization of individual craft.
“A CASKET FROM THE URALS’ GEMS”. IMAGE, MATERIAL AND FUNCTION IN THE SOVIET STONE-CUTTING ART
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Budrina Ludmila A.
Published: December 2023

Russian stone-cutting art of the soviet period represents a relatively new field of art historical research related to issues of style and image of works. The article is dedicated to the analysis of those questions on the one example from the assortment of the Sverdlovsk-based factory “Russkie samotsсvety” (“Russian gems”) of the 1940s–1960s. On the base of the unpublished archival documents and a large choice of the art works discovered in the museum collections in Russia and abroad the article covers the following issues — formation of the type of casket (laretz) under the influence of the post-war interest in the heritage of ancient Russian art which reflected the impact on the artistic search of the early 20th century “Russian style”; a number of technological details, the choice of materials, including expanding the palette of colored stones used, as well as its actual narrowing; gradual minimization of the precious stones decoration; market aspects of production. For some of the works in this publication, attribution information is provided for the first time. Particular attention is paid to the circulation of objects on the international art market, as well as the use of caskets as diplomatic gifts from Soviet government to foreign leaders in the 1950s. In conclusion, a reasoned correction to the established attribution of works is proposed.
THE VAKHRUSHEVO-1 BURIAL GROUND (NOVOSIBIRSK OB REGION): MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES (ARCHAEOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY, PALEOGENETICS)

The article presents an example of a multidisciplinary approach implemented on previously unpublished materials of the Vakhrushevo-1 burial ground of the Andronovo (Fedorovka) culture, located on the left bank of the Upper Ob River. The object of study is the burial from mound 9, the only one of the entire complex made according to the inhumation rite. According to anthropologists and paleogeneticists, a man aged between 35–40 years was placed in the grave. As a result of the anthropological analysis, the measuring characteristics of the skull of the buried were clarified and its graphic reconstruction was made. A radiocarbon date (1735–1518 BC) was obtained for a human tooth. A molar tooth of the buried without cracks and chips, which demonstrated a high level of macroscopic preservation, was used as a material for obtaining DNA samples. The revealed variant of mtDNA (U2e1h) allows the authors to outline the western Eurasian vector of the migration flow of the Antronovo (Fedorovka) population from the territory of the southern Urals and Trans-Urals, where the carriers of the Potapovo and Sintashta cultures lived. The non-typicality of the Y-chromosome variant (RIb-M269) obtained in the studied sample determines the continuation of the search for its carriers’ origins and suggests a more complex formation of some part of the Andronovo (Fedorovka) culture carriers in the forest-steppe zone of the Ob region. Burial practice and grave goods are generally common for the Andronovo (Fedorovka) culture. However, the situation when in part of the necropolis the Andronovo (Fedorovka) people made the burials according to the rite of cremation, and the other part — according to the rite of inhumation, is still problematic. At the same time, sometimes there are so-called “birital” burials, where both the corpse and the ashes of the deceased were placed in one grave. Based on the data obtained, it is assumed that the explanation of such a phenomenon lies in the origins of the migration of Andronovo (Fedorovka) population to the east, which is indicated, first of all, by paleogenetic analysis. It is obvious that the example of the multidisciplinary approach to the source analysis determines a more real and close to reality reconstruction model of ethno-cultural genesis.
ERMAK’S EXPLOIT ON THE PAGES OF N. M. KARAMZIN’S “HISTORY OF THE RUSSIAN STATE”: POETICS, CONTEXT
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Anisimov Kirill V.
Published: December 2023

The article analyses the narrative structure of N. M. Karamzin’s “History of the Russian State” with the primary attention paid to the 9th volume, i. e. a part of the oeuvre which comprises the story of Ermak’s victorious campaign in Siberia. The focus is directed onto Karamzin’s contribution to the imagining of Ermak as a key-figure in the narrative of Russian colonization, historical agent who became an integral constituent part of national historical and cultural memory. The paper demonstrates that the conceptual plot of Ermak’s Siberian campaign was formed by a number of leitmotif lines and ideological notions bearing a particular importance for the author and his epoch. It was revealed in the course of the analysis that Ermak is related to the following semantic fields endowed with distinctive meaning in the context of time: Ivan the Terrible despotic authority; Novgorod (either as a “veche”-republic, a symbol of freedom, or as a commercial principality that paved the way beyond Urals); Cossacks, “new belligerent republic”, which very name linked free people of Russian late Middle Ages with Novgorodians; the Stroganov family of Ural merchants and a problem of oligarchy posed in relation with them. In Karamzin’s story on Ermak all these themes, deeply rooted in the national history, were skilfully intertwined. Dating back to the previous volumes of the “History” these leitmotifs formed a contextual milieu for the story of the conquest, and should this story be extracted out of this surrounding it would become opaque in semantic perspective and remain unread fully and comprehended improperly.

This study aims to improve the accuracy of current measurements in solar power systems using the ACS712 sensor and linear regression modeling. While the ACS712 sensor is commonly used for current measurement in solar systems, it often faces accuracy issues. In this research, we measured current using the ACS712 sensor alongside a validated reference device and applied a linear regression model to correct any inaccuracies. The results show that our linear regression model significantly boosts the accuracy of ACS712 sensor current measurements. We also conducted performance tests with the model on the Arduino Uno platform, which revealed increased measurement accuracy in various testing scenarios. Before implementing the model, the average difference between ACS712 sensor measurements and reference device readings was 0.364. After implementing the model, this difference dropped substantially to just 0.044.

The negative impact of studying while working is feeling that the work they do has no meaning, there are students who choose to resign from the company for several reasons, such as wanting to focus on completing their final assignment, choosing to look for a new job because of the long shift system, there are also students who often refuse to work overtime when asked by their superiors, it is in this situation that students' commitment is tested. Meanwhile, companies need employees who are proactive and have a high commitment to work. This research looked at the influence of organizational support on organizational commitment in 319 students who studied while working at UBPK. The sampling method uses quota sampling. In this study, 2 scales were used: the Allen and Meyer organizational commitment scale with 24 items and the Eisenberger perceived organizational support scale with 8 items. The SPSS 25 statistical program was used to analyze this research data. The results of the hypothesis test show a significance of 0.000 P <0.05. With an R coefficient value of 0.752, it is clear that the variable perception of organizational support has a positive impact on organizational commitment. This means that the more positive the perception of organizational support, the higher the level of commitment to the organization.Mahasiswa yang memutuskan untuk kuliah sambil bekerja harus menempuh peran yang lebih berat daripada mahasiswa yang tidak bekerja. Dampak negatif dari kuliah sambil bekerja adalah merasa bahwa pekerjaannya yang dilakukan tidak memiliki makna, adanya mahasiswa yang memilih untuk mengundurkan diri dari perusahaan dengan beberapa alasan, seperti ingin memfokuskan diri untuk menyelesaikan tugas akhir, memilih mencari pekerjaan baru karena sistem shift yang berkepanjangan, ada juga mahasiswa yang sering menolak lembur ketika diminta oleh atasan, di situasi tersebutlah komitmen mahasiswa diuji. Sedangkan perusahaan membutuhkan karyawan yang proaktif dan memiliki komitmen yang tinggi dalam bekerja. Penelitian ini melihat pengaruh dukungan organisasi terhadap komitmen organisasi pada 319 mahasiswa yang kuliah sambil bekerja di UBPK. Metode pengambilan sampelnya menggunakan kuota sampling. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan 2 skala: skala komitmen organisasi Allen dan Meyer dengan 24 item dan skala persepsi dukungan organisasi Eisenberger dengan 8 item. Program statistik SPSS 25 digunakan untuk menganalisis data penelitian ini. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan signifikansi 0.000 P <0,05. Dengan nilai koefisien R sebesar 0,752, jelas bahwa variabel persepsi dukungan organisasi berdampak positif pada komitmen organisasi. Artinya semakin positif persepsi dukungan organisasi maka semakin tinggi tingkat komitmen pada organisasi
