Social Support and Appearance Satisfaction Can Predict Changes in the Psychopathology Levels of Patients with Acne, Psoriasis and Eczema, before Dermatological Treatment and in a Six-Month Follow-up Phase
Authors: Costeris Charalambos , Petridou Maria , Ioannou Yianna
Published: July 2021

This was a cross-sectional study which assessed the factors that predicted changes in the levels of psychopathological symptomatology of patients with acne, psoriasis and eczema both before dermatological treatment and in a six-month follow-up phase. One hundred and eight dermatological patients (18–35 years) participated in the study; 54 with visible facial cystic acne (Group A), and 54 with non-visible psoriasis/eczema (Group B). A battery of self-report questionnaires were administered to all patients before their dermatological treatment and in a six-month follow-up phase and included: the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90-R), the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL-40), the Multidimensional Body–Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ–AS) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Multiple regression analyses revealed that patients’ overall perceived social support and overall appearance satisfaction appeared to be strong predictors of the maintenance of patients’ psychopathology levels, even six months after they began their dermatological treatment. Psychosocial factors such as patients’ social support and appearance satisfaction could influence their psychopathology levels and the way they experienced their skin condition, before treatment and after a six-month period of time. The psychological assessment of the aforementioned factors could detect patients who would benefit from psychotherapeutic interventions in order to help them adapt to the extra burden which accompanies dermatological disorders.
Effect of Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) Particle Size and Content on the Morphological and Mechanical Properties of Recycled High-Density Polyethylene (rHDPE)/GTR Blends
Authors: Fazli Ali , Rodrigue Denis
Published: July 2021

This work investigates the effect of ground rubber tire (GRT) particle size and their concentration on the morphological, mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blends based on recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE). In our methodology, samples are prepared via melt blending (twin-screw extrusion followed by compression molding) to prepare different series of blends using GTR with three different particle sizes (0–250 μm, 250–500 μm, and 500–850 μm) for different GTR concentrations (0, 20, 35, 50, and 65 wt.%). The thermal properties are characterized by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and the morphology of the blends is studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical and physical properties of the blends are investigated by quasi-static tensile and flexural tests, combined with impact strength and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The SEM observations indicate some incompatibility and inhomogeneity in the blends, due to low interfacial adhesion between rHDPE and GTR (especially for GTR > 50 wt.%). Increasing the GTR content up to 65 wt.% leads to poor interphase (high interfacial tension) and agglomeration, resulting in the formation of voids around GTR particles and increasing defects/cracks in the matrix. However, introducing fine GTR particles (0–250 μm) with higher specific surface area leads to a more homogenous structure and uniform particle dispersion, due to improved physical/interfacial interactions. The results also show that for a fixed composition, smaller GTR particles (0–250 μm) gives lower melt flow index (MFI), but higher tensile strength/modulus/elongation at break and toughness compared to larger GTR particles (250–500 μm and 500–850 μm).
Lurking Lions and Hidden Herds: Concealed Wisdom in the Hebrew Bible
Authors: Noegel Scott B. , Nichols Corinna E.
Published: July 2021

This article presents evidence for a previously unrecognized literary device in the Book of Proverbs, in which texts that cluster references to animals also contain additional paronomastic allusions to animals. This device accords with the proverbs’ instruction to search for hidden knowledge, and resonates with their emphasis on the study of wild animals as a source of divine wisdom. The device also appears in psalms and prophecies, where it generally entails references to domesticated animals; here, the function appears to be rhetorical or performative. These groupings of concealed allusions to animals also add to the growing number of examples of the textual device of clustering.
The Role of Cytology in the Diagnosis of Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Authors: Wang Jui-Chung , Hu Jui-Ting , Hsu Chih-Yu
Published: July 2021

The diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high risk patients, such as those with chronic hepatitis B or C with/without cirrhosis of the liver, can be made with relevant image studies alone; however, morphologic confirmation by cytology or histopathology is essential to the diagnosis of metastatic HCC because the treatment of the latter differs from that of primary extrahepatic malignancy. Although both cytology and histopathology are important tools in the diagnosis of malignancy, histopathology almost always plays a confirmatory and pivotal role, and also a gold standard in cyto-histological correlation. We present two patients of metastatic HCC to rare sites; endobronchus in one, and neck lymph nodes, face and the abdominal wall in the other. Repeated bronchial biopsy in the first patient and excisional biopsy from the metastatic sites of the second patient failed to make a conclusive diagnosis of metastatic HCC. However, bronchial brushing in the first patient and fine needle aspiration cytology from the respective metastatic sites of the second patient consistently showed characteristic HCC features and provided clinicians with the rationale for ongoing treatment. The diagnostic issues and possible pitfalls are discussed. Cytology and histopathology appear equipollent; sometimes cytology can play a diagnostic role when histopathology fails its expected role in this scenario.
Comprehensive Insight from Phthalates Occurrence: From Health Outcomes to Emerging Analytical Approaches
Authors: Luís Catarina , Algarra Manuel , Câmara José , Perestrelo Rosa
Published: July 2021

Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in a multitude of important industrial products (e.g., medical devices, children’s toys, and food packages), mainly as plasticizers to improve mechanical properties such as flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The wide occurrence of phthalates in many consumer products, including foods (e.g., bottled water, soft drinks, wine, milk, and meat) brings that most people are exposed to phthalates every day, which raises some concerns. Adverse health outcomes from phthalates exposure have been associated with endocrine disruption, deformities in the human reproductive system, increased risk of preterm birth, carcinogen exposure, among others. Apprehension related to the health risks and ubiquitous incidence of phthalates in foods inspires the development of reliable analytical approaches that allow their detection and quantification at trace levels. The purpose of the current review is to provide information related to the presence of phthalates in the food chain, highlighting the health risks associated with their exposure. Moreover, an overview of emerging extraction procedures and high-resolution analytical approaches for a comprehensive quantification of phthalates is presented.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a fatal gynecologic cancer, and its poor prognosis is mainly due to delayed diagnosis. Therefore, biomarker identification and prognosis prediction are crucial in EOC. Altered cell metabolism is a characteristic feature of cancers, and metabolomics reflects an individual’s current phenotype. In particular, plasma metabolome analyses can be useful for biomarker identification. In this study, we analyzed 624 metabolites, including uremic toxins (UTx) in plasma derived from 80 patients with EOC using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Compared with the healthy control, we detected 77 significantly increased metabolites and 114 significantly decreased metabolites in EOC patients. Especially, decreased concentrations of lysophosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylcholines and increased concentrations of triglycerides were observed, indicating a metabolic profile characteristic of EOC patients. After calculating the parameters of each metabolic index, we found that higher ratios of kynurenine to tryptophan correlates with worse prognosis in EOC patients. Kynurenine, one of the UTx, can affect the prognosis of EOC. Our results demonstrated that plasma metabolome analysis is useful not only for the diagnosis of EOC, but also for predicting prognosis with the variation of UTx and evaluating response to chemotherapy.

To investigate the association of the 2019–2020 influenza vaccine with prognosis of patients positive for SARS-CoV-2A, a large multi-database cohort study was conducted in four Italian regions (i.e., Lazio, Lombardy, Veneto, and Tuscany) and the Reggio Emilia province (Emilia-Romagna). More than 21 million adults were residing in the study area (42% of the population). We included 115,945 COVID-19 cases diagnosed during the first wave of the pandemic (February–May, 2020); 34.6% of these had been vaccinated against influenza. Three outcomes were considered: hospitalization, death, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission/death. The adjusted relative risk (RR) of being hospitalized in the vaccinated group when compared with the non-vaccinated group was 0.87 (95% CI: 0.86–0.88). This reduction in risk was not confirmed for death (RR = 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06), or for the combined outcome of ICU admission or death. In conclusion, our study, conducted on the vast majority of the population during the first wave of the pandemic in Italy, showed a 13% statistically significant reduction in the risk of hospitalization in some geographical areas and in the younger population. No impact of seasonal influenza vaccination on COVID-19 prognosis in terms of death and death or ICU admission was estimated.

Proposals for Creating an Effective Mechanism for Implementation of the Long-term Socio-economic Strategy of Russia
Authors:   International Research Institute for Advanced Systems, Popova Ekaterina V.
Published: July 2021

Today, in a complicated macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, Russia requires fundamentally new approaches to creating an effective long-term socio-economic development strategy. The Government of the Russian Federation has created a federal information system for strategic planning through the state information system “Management”, collection of data on implementation of strategic planning documents is going on. Currently, there are thousands of strategic planning documents, but it is still missing a unified management of the country's economic system based on these documents, federal government does not have feedback from regions and enterprises, which could allow coordinating the development goals and objectives of the country as a whole and individual industries and regions. In this regard, the issue of developing effective methods for converting strategic planning and management of the Russian economy into operational terms is particularly urgent — from a set of thousands of documents, individual strategies and plans to an operate management system with feedback. Application of the toolkit for intersectoral and interregional economic balances, transport-economic and fuel-energy balances, in that respect, seems to be one of the priorities. It is also necessary to calculate financial, trade balances, balances of payments, of labour resources, which have always been and still remain necessary elements of economy forecasting and planning. Along with this, it seems appropriate, analyzing the state and prospects of individual industries development to use balance methods within the same industry, showing the ratio of "costs — issue", balances of fixed assets, based on depreciation degree, the level of renewal, investments.

At the moment, there is a change in the universal attractors of the historical process; in this regard, a new management model is required, corresponding to the new “program requirements” of the attractor “from the future”. The former political and economic regulators have fulfilled their role, but the patterns of thinking developed over the centuries do not allow for any other means of “reset” than destruction. The article analyzes who, why, and by what means attempts to preserve the existing world order. As a tool of destruction, the actors of globalization have chosen ultra-effective digital network methods of cross-border impact — a hidden organizational weapon that allows, without destroying the infrastructure facilities necessary to meet vital needs, to block the development of society through the deformation of the motivational and need base of a person. In order to identify the hidden impact of organizational weapons, the authors propose to use a methodological “polarizing filter” — a normative ranking that allows us to determine the direction of various social phenomena as the results of “horizontal” or “vertical” regulation, leading to the limit of destruction or development.

Energy sector, like the defence complex, is one of the key industries that serve as a basis for the life support processes of the country and the resulting stability of the state political structure. World practice has clearly demonstrated the key dependence of domestic political and social stability on reliability and sustainability of energy supply. Multifactorial survivability of the energy supersystem under normal and critical conditions of natural and anthropogenic origin can be provided through forming a net-centric system of elevated management stability, based on a distributed network of inter-corporate disaster-resistant data centers for processing and storing extremely large data sets. It is proposed to use data centers as bases for digital "twins" of energy facilities and processes in order to finally achieve a new quality of control based on digital topology within a single digital model of the energy supersystem with the possibility of secure collection, storage, processing and exchange of data, necessary for managing power facilities of various sectoral subsystems of the Russian fuel and energy complex, as well as for regional and municipal authorities. Application of digital topology makes it possible, during local interactions, to search for and implement solutions for moving towards local, network and polycentric resource-operational optima in order to minimize costs (price burden on the consumer) of separate companies and the entire industry with the aim of maintaining reliability and sustainability of energy supply, including security costs of the critical information infrastructure systems

The aim of the study was to assess the carcinogenic risk to the health of the population of an industrialized city, caused by the probable presence of carcinogens in the ambient air. The results of laboratory control of the content of carcinogens in the atmospheric air of the city of Voronezh for 2017–2020 were used as the initial data. The carcinogenic risk was assessed in accordance with the provisions of Guideline R. 2.1.10.1920–04 «Guidelines for assessing the risk to public health when exposed to chemicals that pollute the environment.» Taking into account the regional peculiarities of the composition of pollutant emissions into the atmospheric air, 1,3-butadiene (source — production of synthetic rubber) should be classified as priority carcinogens requiring systematic monitoring and measures to reduce the volume of emissions and, accordingly, concentrations in the surface layer of atmospheric air and chromium 6+ compounds (the main source is an aircraft plant). These substances, depending on the territory (transport or industrial), contribute 69.9–75.7 % and 21.7–26.9 %, respectively, to the total values of the individual carcinogenic risk (from 4.27 × 10 –3 to 4.90 × 10 –3 for the adult population, from 3.38 × 10 –4 to 3.82 × 10 –4 for children 6 years old). For the rest of the laboratory controlled carcinogens (formaldehyde, lead, soot, styrene), the risks do not exceed the maximum permissible value. It was found that the territorial coverage of the urban area of Voronezh by monitoring the content of carcinogens in the atmospheric air (5 stationary and 5 route observation posts) and the number of laboratory-determined carcinogens (6 out of 18 taken into account in the projects of maximum permissible emissions of enterprises) is insufficient to obtain reliable information on the value carcinogenic risk to public health. To reduce the associated uncertainties in assessing the carcinogenic risk, further studies of the content of 8 carcinogens (1,3-butadiene, formaldehyde, lead, carbon black, chromium 6+, benzene, benz/a/pyrene, styrene) are planned at 13 additional control points of the urban area.

During the analysis of morbidity by nosological forms of diseases of the class «Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous» cellulose in cadets of two higher military educational institutions for 2012–2017, studying in the Kaliningrad enclave, the features were revealed. Diseases included in only three blocks were registered: infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue; dermatitis and eczema; other diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The share of the first block reached 80.4–73.4 %; the second — 18.2 – 20 %, the third 1.4 – 5.8 %. The level and duration of the period of prevalence of the first block of diseases over the second was 4 among cadets at the university № 1, in the university № 2–3 years. The leading diseases were pyoderma (at university No. 1 – 120.9 ± 5.6‰, No. 2 – 42.5 ± 4.3‰), skin abscess, furuncle and carbuncle (No. 1 – 40.2 ± 3.4‰, No. 2 – 15.2 ± 2.6‰). The incidence of pyoderma in each university prevailed among cadets of the first three years of study over abscess, boil and carbuncle. Pyoderma in the university № 1 in each year of study was recorded reliably less often from 1 to 4 courses. Abscess, furuncle and carbuncle were registered significantly more often in the first course than in the second, in the second or fourth courses — the same, and only in the fifth course significantly less often than in previous courses. Pyoderma among cadets of 1 – 2 years of study at the university № 2 was registered in the same way, in the third-fifth courses — 2.8 – 4.4 times less often. Abscess, furuncle and carbuncle were registered by years of study without significant differences. Differences in the incidence of skin and subcutaneous tissue infections among cadets of the two universities indicated the presence of specific health risk factors. This necessitates further retrospective studies and full-scale (microbiological, immunological, etc.) tests.

Paracetamol is one of the most widely used and popular over-the-counter analgesics and antipyretic drugs in the world. The number of registered cases of paracetamol-induced liver intoxication is constantly increasing in the world every year. It seems relevant to study early metabolic disorders in the liver in acute paracetamol intoxication and assess the effectiveness of the timely use of hepatoprotective drugs. The aim of this research is to study metabolic changes in laboratory animals at the early stages of exposure to paracetamol and against the background of correction with oxymethyluracil, ademetionine and mexidol. An experimental study of metabolic changes in laboratory animals under acute exposure to toxic doses of paracetamol and against the background of correction was carried out. Biochemical parameters in the blood serum of laboratory animals were investigated. The obtained results showed that the intake of paracetamol in toxic doses was accompanied by impaired hepatic metabolism at the earliest stages of exposure. With the corrective action of the studied drugs, metabolic disturbances caused by paracetamol intoxication were restored. At the same time, OMU, as well as ademetionine and ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, is able to normalize metabolic changes after the acute toxic effect of paracetamol, and has a pronounced advantage in terms of the protein-synthetic function of hepatocytes.

L’autorité personnelle selon Xénophon
Authors: Woronoff Michel
Published: July 2021

Personal authority according to Xenophon

Xenophon’s personal experience, the reflections suggested to him by the Ten Thousand Mercenaries’ Retreat, his encounters with leaders of outstanding quality such as Cyrus the Younger or Agésilas have led the Master of the Scillonte estate to ponder the notion of authority by setting up examples and anecdotes to describe the ways of obedience and a leader’s naturel qualities. For him, power is essentially of military origin and there is no difference of nature between the authority of the master of an estate and that of an officer or a king ; it focuses responsibilities on one man because of his charisma. Those “royal personalities” of a military and not a tyrannical nature build their power only upon their value. This reflection on “the royal art of governing men” will ultimately lead to establishing the military ideology from which the first Hellenistic sovereigns will draw their legitimacy.
Les présages impériaux et le temps dans le De Vita Caesarum de Suétone
Authors: Vigourt Annie
Published: July 2021

Les faits prodigieux, apparemment placés en vrac dans un ou deux chapitres de ses biographies des Césars, sont cependant très liés à la conception que Suétone avait du temps. Enumérés dans un ordre chronologique, les présages accumulés sont des «annonciations» répétées, à des époques privilégiées de la vie. Tous les instants ne sont pas égaux entre eux.

Pour Suétone, la vie humaine est la mesure du temps. L’homme peut déterminer le contenu historique d’un moment précis, mais tout effort pour modifier les instants limites — ceux de la mort, de l’échec — s’avère inefficace ; l’homme n’est pas maître du temps.

Le temps a une cohérence. Les présages déterminent un «avant» et un «après», ils découpent aussi des périodes pendant lesquelles les instants sont solidaires les uns des autres ; de plus, des liens également prodigieux unissent ces époques entre elles, et cela sans respecter une totale linéarité. Le temps, chez Suétone, a quelque analogie avec un labyrinthe.

Autour du supplice de Mélanthios : la pénalité au chant XXII de l’Odyssée
Authors: Halm-Tisserant Monique
Published: July 2021

Il canto XXII dell'Odissea narra di una strage e due esecuzioni, ordinate da Odisseo. Melanzio, il capraio, è condannato al palo (un supplizio noto alla pittura vascolare arcaica), subendo successivamente le mutilazioni delle estremità degli arti. La medesima sequenza viene ripetuta, usandola al canto XVIII per minacciare Iros, il mendicante, pure dell'akrôtêriasmós. La ripresa del brano, che può essere rivelatrice di un interpolazione, intende dinunziare la crudeltà di questo castigo, il quale non fece mai parte della penalità dei tempi storici, ma indegnò i Greci dell’epoca classica. Ai Proci, invece, mentre il confronto era iniziato come massacro (spesso raffigurato nell’arte antica), finalmente viene concesso un combattimento leale ; alle ancelle, è stata riservata insomma la morte disonorevole delle donne : ossia l’impiccagione (mai rappresentata), il gerarchizzare nella distribuzione delle pene considera, tanto il sesso, quanto lo statuto delle vittime. Spesso emblematiche, sempre sbrigative, le condanne inflitte rivelano il potere discrezionale concesso al padrone dell'oikia, nei tempi omerici e prima.
ΔΥΝΑΣΤΕΙΑ chez Dion Cassius
Authors: Freyburger-Galland Marie-Laure
Published: July 2021

In Cassius Dio’s Roman History, δυναστεία seems to be an equivalent of the Latin words potestas and sometimes potentia, with the classical meanings of “power” and “sovereignty” particulary when pertaining to barbarians or when used in the plural.

But there is a tendency for this word to express a special type of government, previously pointed to by Aristotle, an almost illegal and unconfessed monarchy or oligarchy.

Just as Polybius created a new type of government he called “ochlocracy” as a degenerate form of democracy, so the Severian writer resume the aristotelian type of dynasty.

Applying the Greek classification of the Roman reality of the end of the Republic, of the civil wars, triumvirates and “coups d’État” especially those of Caesar and Octavian, though generally regarded as a supporter of Augustan principate, Cassius Dio, when he uses the pejorative meanings of δυναστεία, appears rather critical towards the incipient imperial system.

Authors: Celik Sevgi
Published: July 2021

This quantitative study investigates the needs of primary school teachers for better Teacher Education Program supporting critical thinking skills. The study was carried out at four different public and private primary and secondary schools in Erbil, Iraq, during the 2019–2020 academic year, when the COVID-19 pandemic caused the suspensión of classes and the

closure of educational centers. An online survey was conducted with 48 physics, mathematics, Kurdish, and social science teachers to gather data regarding how teachers support students’ critical thinking skills in the classroom. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and revealed that teachers were inefficient in encouraging students to use critical thinking skills in the classroom. The findings indicated that teachers require training to improve skills such as open-mindedness, asking high-level questions, questioning information accuracy and reliability, and searching for causes or evidence. Hence, the study proposes a teacher education program to supporting critical thinking.

The results showed that there was a weak and insignificant influence on efforts to avoid the failure of the Saporete Islamic Sunday Market Center Brebes Based on the results of multiple linear regression tests on servicescapes, experienscapes, festivalscapes and income redistribution together.
Generating Big Numbers for Testing Multi-Digit Arithmetic Algorithms
Authors: Tereshchenko Andrii , Zadiraka Valeriy
Published: July 2021

Introduction. The emergence of new parallel computational systems, such as multi-core processors, clusters, distributed systems, is due to the solution of various applied problems in various fields. The difference between devices for which parallel algorithms are implemented causes a variety of existing methods for parallelizing the calculation of multi-digit arithmetic operations. There is a problem of developing universal algorithms for implementing multi-digit arithmetic operations that are efficiently performed on various devices and on various systems.
Very often it is not possible to develop a new algorithm, since at this stage there is still no test data with which it is possible to analyze the result of calculation. Therefore, the task of preparing test data and results is no less important than the development of the algorithm itself. The quality of the prepared data determines the quality of the implemented algorithm and the time required to find and eliminate errors in the algorithm-program and its implementation.
In this paper, some simple dependencies are given, using which you can visually check the correctness of the calculation of multi-digit operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, multiplication by modulo and exponentiation by modulo. Simple algorithms for generating input and output multi-digit data are presented. Using dependencies allows to check the integrity of the output when delegating computations to distributed systems such as cloud computing.
The purpose of the article is to show simple dependencies between the input data and the results of performing multi-digit operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, multiplication by modulo and exponentiation by modulo. For the given dependencies, methods for generating input and output multi-digit numbers are shown, which can be used to check the correctness of the calculation of multi-digit operations, which significantly saves the time required for preparing test data.
Dependencies are provided in a generic way, which allows you to generate input data and results for devices that operate on words of different lengths (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc. bits).
Results. The dependences between the input data and the results of performing multi-digit operations are analyzed. The provided dependencies are proved in the form of lemmas. The dependencies are presented in a general form, since to generate multi-digit sequences, it is needed to set two parameters: N – the number of digits in the multi-digit value and n – the length of the digits in bits. The examples show the generation of input data and results for various multi-digit operations.
Conclusions. The paper presents dependencies that are easy to remember and use for visual verification of the results of multi-digit calculations without using additional or special software or hardware, which allows to devote the saved time to developing new or more efficient modifications of multi-digit algorithms. Keywords: multi-digit arithmetic, parallel computational model.
Analysis of Usage of SQL Detector Based on Artificial Intelligence in Serverless Architecture

Published: July 2021

Introduction. The widespread use of the Internet leads to a fast increase of the quantity of data that goes into it. This generates interest in intruders which try different approaches to steal this data. One of the most popular approaches is SQL injection. There are a lot of measures which help to prevent and decrease the risk of being subjected to this attack: usage of code analysis tools, usage of firewalls which can filter dangerous traffic etc.
Usage of reverse proxy is analysed in this article, which with the help of machine learning algorithms checks requests for SQL injections and based on the result passes or forbids the request to go.
It is worth mentioning that such a solution is not a replacement of human expertise but addition to it, which with the help of big data can give an accurate result in most cases.
The purpose of the paper is to analyse and show effectiveness of usage of machine learning in information system security provisioning tasks with the system working in serverless architecture.
Results. A system is designed and developed which with the help of machine learning classifies received requests. The system is deployed to the cloud hosting Google Cloud Platform and integrated into an application which is designed according to the serverless architecture principles. Multiple algorithms were used to compare effectiveness of the system and percentage of successful results were calculated for each of them. Also, an average time of request execution is calculated for each algorithm.
Conclusions. Each algorithm’s result of successful request classification is above 90% which is considered to be more than acceptable. The result can be improved using more data to train machine learning models. The system fits for work in serverless applications thanks to the simplicity of its integration but it should be considered if it fits from a hardware rent point of view. Keywords: machine learning, Google Cloud Platform, security, SQL injection.
