Authors: LYSENKO Sergii , BONDARUK Oleh
Published: April 2024

Resource management is a fundamental concept in cloud computing and virtualization, encompassing the allocation, release, coordination, and monitoring of cloud resources to optimize efficiency. The complexity arises from the virtualized, heterogeneous, and multi-user nature of these resources. Effective governance is challenging due to uncertainty, large-scale infrastructures, and unpredictable user states. This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy of resource management technologies, offering a detailed analysis of design architecture, virtualization, and cloud deployment models, along with capabilities, objectives, methods, and mechanisms. In a cloud computing environment, deploying application-based resource management techniques necessitates understanding the system architecture and deployment model. This paper explores centralized and distributed resource management system architectures, providing a review of effective resource management techniques for both, accompanied by a comparative analysis. The evolution of cloud computing from a centralized to a distributed paradigm is examined, emphasizing the shift towards distributed cloud architectures to harness the computing power of smart connected devices at the network edge. These architectures address challenges like latency, energy consumption, and security, crucial for IoT-based applications. The literature proposes various methods for distributed resource management, aligning with the distributed nature of these architectures. Resource management in cloud computing involves discovery, provisioning, allocation, and monitoring functions, with sub-functions like mapping and scheduling. Integrated approaches to consolidation and resource management have been explored in numerous studies. This paper summarizes and analyzes existing research on resource management functions, focusing on identification, provisioning, allocation planning, and monitoring, based on their objectives and methods.
METHOD OF ORGANIZING INTER-MODULE DATA EXCHANGE
Authors: KHOROSHKO Volodymyr , ZYBIN Serhii
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this article is the development and description of the method of organizing inter-module data exchange, that is based on the parametric presented subsystems, as well as the evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed multiprocessor computing systems. The authors propose a method of organizing inter-modular exchanges, which is based on the parametric presented subsystem. When developing programs using parallelization algorithms, parameters are used that set specific values for the subsystem. These values are determined during the formation of the subsystem. This makes the program independent of the graph of subsystem inter-module connections, on the basis of which this program will be implemented. The effectiveness of the computer system depends on a set of characteristics, which include: performance, reliability, probability of results, stability, manufacturability and others. To compare computer systems as a criterion of efficiency, it is necessary to adopt a comprehensive indicator that will take into account the main indicators. The real efficiency of a computer system is determined by the time it fulfils its functional purpose. Accordingly, the more reliable the system, the more relative time it is used for its intended purpose and the greater its efficiency. Thus, when comparing computer systems, it is necessary to compare their performance taking into account the real reliability of the system. At the same time, depending on the classes of problems being solved, the influence of various indicators (including reliability) on the efficiency of the system changes. Based on the results of the research, the following conclusions can be drawn: the most effective are the computer systems that are implemented on the developed MO. This fact is clearly visible from the comparison of the time spent on calculating not only the test task, but also when calculating the test equation with the test parameters.
TIME SERIES FORECASTING MODEL FOR SOLVING COLD START PROBLEM VIA TEMPORAL FUSION TRANSFORMER
Authors: YEMETS Kyrylo
Published: April 2024

Time series forecasting is an important tool in many businesses. It can range from efficiently allocating resources for web traffic, predicting patient needs for staffing requirements, to forecasting a company's product sales. A particular use case, known as "cold start" forecasting, involves making predictions for time series that have little or no historical data, like a new product just entering the retail market. The key assumption of cold start forecasting is that products with similar characteristics should have similar time series trajectories. In such scenarios, traditional forecasting models that heavily rely on past observations may face challenges, necessitating the development of innovative approaches that can effectively make predictions in the absence of a substantial historical dataset.
In this paper, Temporal fusion transformer neural network architecture was applied for solving cold start time series forecasting task. Modeling of the method was based on the use of a dataset contained in an open repository. After the preprocessing procedures, the dataset has about 370 time series, each of which has different length of series and has one categorical feature. Categorical feature have only 4 types of different values. For model training was performed to search for optimal hyperparameters across such parameters as: number of attention heads, learning rate, dropout percentage and hidden size.Model performed pretty well on this task. For model comparison were chosen metrics: MAE, RMSE, SMAPE. As can be seen from comparison with such popular models as DeepAR and LSTM, the proposed approach demonstrated the smallest forecasting error. Only one downside is that it can have more problems with anomalies in time series than DeepAR. But at the same time still provide interpretability of results.

The Planetary Crisis: Applicability of Negotiorum Gestio
Authors: Nakatani Kazuhiro
Published: April 2024

Negotiorum gestio is originally a civil law concept. When an intervenor acts on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the principal without the prior consent of the principal, the intervenor is entitled to reimbursement of expenses. The concept of negotiorum gestio can provide a legal basis for it. Does the concept exist in international law? Although negotiorum gestio is rarely referred to in international law and its legal status is unclear, we can find it in some treaties like salvage conventions as well as some diplomatic practices like the reimbursement of expenses arising from the assistance to abate and prevent environmental damage to the Gulf after the Gulf War in the framework of the United Nations Compensation Commission. Moreover, the application of the concept of negotiorum gestio is indispensable for addressing planetary level crisis such as space debris and planetary defense. Even if international cooperation is difficult due to geopolitical situations, voluntary actions by a State acting in good faith to mitigate the crisis should be promoted. Negotiorum gestio can be the legal basis of such actions.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Stroke often induces gait abnormality, such as buckling knee pattern, compromising walking ability. Previous studies indicated that an adequate trailing limb angle (TLA) is critical for recovering walking ability. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that correcting gait abnormality by immobilizing the knee joint using a knee orthosis (KO) would improve walking patterns and increase the TLA, and investigated whether walking training using a KO would increase the TLA in post-stroke patients. METHODS: In a randomized controlled trial, thirty-four participants were assigned to KO (walking training using a KO) and non-KO (without using a KO) groups. Twenty-nine completed the three-week gait training protocol. TLA was measured at baseline and after training. A two-way repeated ANOVA was performed to evaluate TLA increases with training type and time as test factors. A t-test compared TLA changes (ΔTLA) between the two groups. RESULTS: ANOVA showed a main effect for time (F = 64.5, p < 0.01) and interaction (F = 15.4, p < 0.01). ΔTLA was significantly higher in the KO group (14.6±5.8) than in the non-KO group (5.0±7.0, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Walking training using a KO may be practical and effective for increasing TLA in post-stroke patients.
What are the effects of pharmacological, non-invasive brain stimulation and psychological interventions, and their combination, in the treatment of post-stroke depression? A Cochrane Review summary with commentary
Authors: Sen Ekin Ilke
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a prevalent condition that can significantly influence the recovery process. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of pharmacological, non-invasive brain stimulation and psychological interventions, and their combination on PSD. METHODS: A summary of the Cochrane Review by Allida et al. (2023), with comments from a rehabilitation perspective. RESULTS: Sixty-one studies with 5831 participants were included in the Cochrane Review. Very low-certainty evidence indicated favorable treatment effects of pharmacological interventions, psychological therapies, and the combination of pharmacological intervention and non-invasive brain stimulation on PSD. Pharmacological intervention has resulted in increased side effects associated with the central nervous system and gastrointestinal system, with very low-certainty evidence. CONCLUSION: Evidence for the effectiveness of pharmacological, psychological, and combination therapies for the management of PSD is uncertain, as the quality of the evidence has been assessed as very low. Therefore, further studies with improved methods should investigate pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of depression in stroke survivors.

BACKGROUND: Risk assessment and work adjustment according to EU legislation may safeguard pregnant employees and their offspring. Knowledge on management perspectives in relation to implementation of protective measures is limited. OBJECTIVES: The primary aim was to describe Danish hospital managers’ engagement in pregnancy policy and work adjustment for pregnant employees. The secondary aim was to investigate how managers’ characteristics and the setting affect engagement and behaviour. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of survey data from 212 managers. Outcomes were within dimensions of health promotion, pregnancy policy, work adjustment, collaboration, manager support, and sick leave. Logistic and ordinal logistic regression models were applied to identify associations between background information and outcomes. RESULTS: Of the managers included, 84% arranged meetings and 76% conducted occupational risk assessment. Most managers (96%) engaged in dialogue with the employees before sick leave. Most managers felt competent in providing guidance for pregnant employees and 99% considered work adjustment important, mainly to safeguard mothers and children. The self-reported data showed positive associations between female managers and feeling competent to guide the employee. Further, management training was associated with meetings with pregnant employees. Seniority was associated with feeling competent to guide and dialogue. Midwifery support was associated with competence in guiding employees about risk factors. CONCLUSION: Work adjustment and risk assessment for pregnant employees are considered a priority by Danish hospital managers. Overall, managers feel competent guiding pregnant employees. However, managers experience midwifery support beneficial for the guidance of pregnant employees.

No other region has the Village Credit Institution (LPD), a financial institution run by traditional villages, except Bali. The sustainability of LPDs needs to be maintained. Indicators for assessing the health of LPDs can be through financial reports submitted to supervisory institutions in each district/city. Two of the forty LPDs in the Gianyar sub-district (2021) do not submit reports, and many reports do not meet user needs; this is also a common occurrence in other locations. The author raises this matter to be researched from the LPD's internal side, such as understanding accounting, supervisory bodies, use of information technology, leader ethics and HR competency. The questionnaire is completed by all parties involved in the preparation of financial reports, and the author gathers data directly. Researchers tested and found a positive relationship between the use of information technology, leader ethics and HR competency on the quality of the financial reports produced. However, understanding of accounting and regulatory bodies does not show a significant influence.

Poverty is a frequent topic of conversation. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the poverty rate, the people living in poverty, the depth of the poverty index, and the severity of the poverty index in Papua Province from 2002 to 2022. Data analysis entails using descriptive analysis and correlation analysis techniques. While no clear association is found between the poverty rate indicator and the number of individuals living in poverty, a positive correlation exists between the poverty rate indicator and the poverty depth index. Additionally, there is a direct relationship between the poverty rate indicator and the poverty severity index, though with a low correlation coefficient. Conversely, no significant association is observed between the depth of the poverty index and the number of destitute individuals. Furthermore, a negative link is noted between the poverty severity index and the population of individuals living in poverty. Notably, a highly significant correlation exists between the depth and severity of the poverty index in Papua Province. The government of Papua Province should prioritize poverty reduction activities by selecting one of the four available alternatives. These tasks are required to achieve this requirement.

Az elmúlt időszakban a magyar büntetés-végrehajtási szervezetben lezajló digitális transzformáció során számos informatikai innovációt valósítottak meg. A szervezet működése egyre nagyobb mértékben kapcsolódik a digitális térhez, így fontossá vált a legújabb informatikai fejlesztések kiberbiztonsági szempontú vizsgálata. A tanulmány hiánypótló jelleggel, tudományos megközelítést alkalmazva vizsgálja a magyar büntetés-végrehajtási szervezet munkavállalóinak a kiberbiztonságról és a büntetés-végrehajtási kiberbiztonságról alkotott véleményét. Továbbá feltárja a börtönbeli feladatellátás és az elektronikus információs rendszerek között fellépő dependencia mértékét. Mindemellett a vizsgálat olyan nem várt tényezőket tár fel, amelyek egyaránt befolyásolhatják a magyar büntetés-végrehajtás kiberbiztonságának jelenét és jövőjét.

This research aims to see how adolescents' knowledge and attitudes about balanced nutrition are related to their eating behavior. Adolescents are the age group most vulnerable to changes in unhealthy eating habits, which can have a major impact on important aspects of their health. This research involved 160 junior high school students aged 12 to 17 years. Guidelines for knowledge of balanced nutrition (PUGS) as well as eating attitudes and behaviors are the topics of the Nutritional Literacy Survey. Based on the investigation, it is known that 66.9% are in the middle adolescence group (aged 14–17 years). Most respondents had moderate nutritional knowledge with a percentage of 69.4%, a negative attitude percentage of 55.6%, and eating behavior was also in the moderate category at 65.6%. The results of research using bivariate analysis show that the relationship between knowledge and adolescent eating behavior has a p-value of 0.114 (p > 0.05) and the relationship between attitude and adolescent eating behavior has a p-value of 0.108 (p > 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is no relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards the balanced nutritional eating behavior of adolescents. The significance of this research lies in the importance of integrating nutrition education into school programs and curricula to increase nutrition knowledge in adolescents, such as nutrition with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Additionally, educational programs that focus on sustainable development and health awareness may be effective in encouraging healthy eating habits in this age group.

This research aims to determine whether there is an increase in students' representation abilities after using PhET Simulations on the topic of chemical reactions. This type of research was quasi-experimental using a pretest and posttest control group design. This research involved two groups of students, namely the experimental group using PhET Simulations during the learning process while the control group only used conventional worksheets. The data collection technique used a 25-item test that refers to indicators of representational ability. This hypothesis test uses the t-test (Independent Sample t-Test) using the assumption that the data is normally distributed and homogeneous. The results of the analysis show that there was an influence of using PhET Simulation in improving students' representation abilities at MA Al-Hikmah as evidenced by the sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0,05 so that H0 is rejected with the n-Gain value in the experimental class of 0.71 which is in the high category.

In an educational context, the integration of culture in the learning concept is essential to ensure that each student feels recognized and their values ​​are appreciated. The ethnomathematics approach is one way to integrate culture into mathematics learning. By including mathematical examples and problems that are relevant to students' culture, learning will become more meaningful and students will be more motivated to learn. In addition, by understanding mathematical concepts from various cultures, students can develop a deeper understanding of these concepts. It can also help in creating an inclusive learning environment and stimulate students' interest in mathematics. It is important to continue to develop this approach in our educational context to ensure that every student gets a fair and stimulating opportunity to learn mathematics

ABSTRACT

The online and offline learning strategy accompanied by giving assignments at the end of Mechatronics learning so far has had several records, one of the most prominent is that student involvement in the learning process tends to continue to decline. Research activities begin with; (1) randomly selecting two classes from a total of three Mechatronics lecture classes, and assigning one class as the experimental group, and the other class as the control group; (2) giving an initial test (pre-test) to students in the experimental group/class and students in the control group; (3) applying Collaborative Online Learning strategies in the experimental class, and direct instructional online learning strategies in the control class; (4) measuring the Mechatronics learning outcomes of students in the experimental class and students in the control class. Collaborative online learning can have a better impact on improving Mechatronics learning outcomes. This is because collaborative online learning encourages students to be more active, gain more knowledge, and get students used to discussing. This nature of offering learning to share information will give students the courage to express themselves both behaviorally and verbally. There is an interaction effect between online learning strategies and prior knowledge of Mechatronics learning outcomes. This means that online learning strategies and prior knowledge are two factors that determine student Mechatronics learning outcomes. Therefore, in planning learning, teachers need to pay attention to the individual characteristics of students so they can determine appropriate learning strategies. An important note in this research shows that collaborative online learning is not only appropriate to teach for students who have high initial abilities but is also appropriate to teach for students who have low initial abilities.
