When We Went Online: Library Conference Twitter in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Hanson Margot , Hennesy Cody , Adams Annis Lee
Published: April 2024

Introduction: For over a decade, Twitter (now known as X) provided a platform for invisible colleges of professional and academic networks to form, allowing conference attendees to share information with their wider communities of practice. With the move to virtual conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors examined how library conference-related Twitter use changed.
Method: Tweet data from five major library conferences over the course of 10 years were collected, cleaned, and analyzed to look for statistically significant differences in the volume of original tweets and retweets during in-person (2011 to 2019) and online conferences (2020 and 2021).
Results: Original tweets, retweets, and unique authors using library conference hashtags on Twitter decreased when conferences met virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Discussion: The decrease in informal library conference communication does not correlate with conference attendance or overall Twitter use. The dramatic reduction in retweets signifies that librarians were engaging less with tweets by their colleagues during virtual conferences.
Conclusion: Twitter served as a central public place for library professionals to find and engage in topical conversations, but use of Twitter shrank during the COVID-19 pandemic, diminishing the reach of professional library discourse.
The Urgency to Renew Bankruptcy Law Requirements and Summary Proof in Indonesia
Authors: Tan David , Sudirman Lu , Fiorentine Jasisca
Published: April 2024

The provisions pertaining to bankruptcy and summary proof in Law Number 37 of 2004 present various drawbacks in their application, particularly impacting debtors. Debtors can be declared bankrupt with relative ease, and the requirement for declaring bankruptcy does not directly indicate the debtor’s insolvency. This can present difficulties for other creditors, as the leniency in bankruptcy requirements for debtors is viewed as means to accelerate debt resolution, even though not all face the same circumstances. This research will focus on the issues regarding the urgency of revising Law Number 37 of 2004, specifically with regard to the conditions for bankruptcy and summary proof. The method used in this research is the doctrinal legal research method, which entails scrutinizing literary sources, legal theories or principles, research journals, and legislative regulations to analyze the subject of the research. Furthermore, a comparative approach is adopted to evaluate the development of Indonesian law by examining the bankruptcy legal frameworks in France and the Netherlands. The study concludes that the pressing need for amendments to the conditions for bankruptcy and summary proof in Law Number 37 of 2004 necessitates a responsive legal system. This can be achieved through a comprehensive review of problematic regulations. Therefore, the incorporation of additional measures, such as an insolvency test and a proactive approach by judges, establishes a regulatory mechanism that can be viewed as a responsive outcome in the future.

Published: April 2024

Cases of physical violence committed by minors continue to occur and increase in Indonesia. One of them was a case of physical violence that befell an elementary school student in Gresik which resulted in permanent blindness due to a meatball stab attack by her senior in one eye. This research is intended to find out about legal protection for minor victims who experience physical violence and how the law in Indonesia regulates the justice of minors who commit criminal acts. By using normative juridical research methods and using secondary data in the form of articles, published news and previous research and using positive law in Indonesia, namely, Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. It is hoped that this research will provide comprehensive insight regarding law enforcement efforts and the protection of minors in Indonesia.
Unemployment, household arrangements, and socioeconomic inequalities in Brazil
Authors: Menezes Vitor Matheus Oliveira de
Published: April 2024

This article examines the role of households in the distribution of unemployment risks in Brazil. We analyze several indicators that summarize the entry into the labor market across different household arrangements and descriptive statistics calculated for each position within these arrangements. We then use a logistic regression model to calculate the likelihood of open or potential unemployment. For women, living with children correlates with a greater likelihood of open or potential unemployment, while the opposite is true for men due to the unequal distribution of family responsibilities. The likelihood of open or potential unemployment is higher for people living with elderly people. Finally, the level of household income has a greater effect on women than onmen, possibly due to the female transition from inactivity to employment in households with fewer resources.

Urbanismo y Ordenación del Territorio: manual de teoría
Authors: García-Ayllón Veintimilla Salvador
Published: April 2024

El urbanismo ha sido tradicionalmente una disciplina reservada en España a los arquitectos por su estrecha vinculación al mundo de la edificación. Con el ensanche y crecimiento de las ciudades a partir del siglo XVIII este trabajo se reparte con los ingenieros civiles de la época, por la necesidad de implementar el diseño de las infraestructuras y el cambio de escala que alcanza ya el nivel de la ordenación territorial. En la actualidad, las competencias están compartidas al mismo nivel entre arquitectos e ingenieros de caminos, canales y puertos hasta el punto que el urbanismo como disciplina transversal a muchos ámbitos de la ingeniería civil (puertos, carreteras, ferrocarriles, planificación y gestión del agua, etc.) se ha convertido posiblemente en la principal fuente de trabajo para los ingenieros, y por tanto materia de obligado conocimiento. Con esta motivación se ha elaborado este manual, que sirve de base teórica de la asignatura “Urbanismo y Ordenación del Territorio” de 1º del Master de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT).

Published: April 2024

Introduction. Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective methods of treating morbid obesity, which allows for a long-lasting result. Along with the increase in the number of operative methods of obesity treatment, the relevance of issues related to postoperative complications is increasing. In recent years, the issue of using special checklists after surgery has been actively investigated. This will help optimize the process of monitoring patients' condition in the postoperative period.
The aim of the study: to develop a check-list model to prevent the detection of complications after laparoscopic gastric bypass in obese patients.
Materials and methods. On the basis of the developed checklist, a study of the condition of obese patients, who underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass during 2019-2023, was conducted on the basis of the Department of General Surgery No. 2 of the Bogomolets National Medical University. The checklist included the following criteria: the level of pain on the VAS scale, the level of nausea, eating, mobility, whether there is a desire to be discharged home, abdominal muscle tension, pain in the calf muscles, heart rate, oxygen saturation in the blood, the number drainage discharge within 24 hours, temperature, systolic blood pressure, central venous pressure, laboratory diagnosis, decrease in hemoglobin concentration, leukocyte level after surgery, C-reactive protein level after surgery, blood procalcitonin level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate level, the presence of a shift in the leukocyte formula to the left. The presence of complications was assessed, the parameters of the checklist were analyzed using univariate logistic regression and ROC analysis for early detection of complications and determination of the chance of complications in the future.
Results. Complications occurred in 18/218 (8.2%). The most frequent complication was bleeding in 6/18 (33.3%). Reoperation was performed in 12 cases of 12/18 (66.6%), endoscopic treatment was performed in 1 case, and conservative methods were used in 5 cases. According to the checklist, 31.81% had a positive predictive value (PPV) and 99.56% had a negative predictive value (NPV). The optimal cut-off point of the total score of the checklist was 6. Patients with a positive prognosis of the checklist have a higher chance of developing complications of VSH – 4.5 (95% CI 1.8-9.72), p <0.001.
Conclusions. The complication rate was 18/218 (8.2%). According to the checklist, heart rate, systolic blood pressure and mobility are very good predictors of postoperative complications. The checklist is the best option for determining the readiness of patients to be discharged from the hospital due to a high prognostic negative result. Due to the low prognostic positive result, the evaluated checklist needs additional modification and optimization taking into account the results already obtained.

Published: April 2024

Introduction. Inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (IDPO) remain the most relevant issue in contemporary gynecology. In modern diagnostics of reproductive organ pathologies, a highly effective and accessible method is ultrasound examination. Recent studies in this field, conducted using high-frequency digital transvaginal echography, have significantly contributed to reevaluating the potential of ultrasonographic diagnosis of the cervix; however, further research is warranted.
The aim of this research is to enhance the diagnosis of cervical changes in cervicitis.
Materials and methods. The study included 68 women with chronic cervicitis. The diagnosis was established based on clinical, colposcopy, and bacterioscopist examinations. During transvaginal ultrasound examinations, the cervix was visualized in both longitudinal and transverse projections for all patients. The patients with chronic cervicitis were divided into two groups: Group I consisted of 37 patients with visual changes in the cervix, while Group II comprised 31 women without any changes. A comparison group included 35 healthy women.
Results. Chronic cervicitis is characterized by an increase in the thickness and volume of the cervix, as well as the heterogeneity of the stroma due to cystic cavities, with elevated ratios of cervix thickness to length and endocervix thickness to cervix thickness. Significant sonographic signs of the inflammatory process in the endocervix also include certain structural features, such as indistinct contours, increased echogenicity, small cysts, and multiple microcalcifications in the endocervix, uneven dilation of the cervical canal, and an area of reduced echogenicity.
Conclusions. Therefore, a thorough ultrasound examination to determine the condition of the cervix, thickness, and structure of the endocervix can be a valuable adjunct non-invasive tool in the diagnosis of chronic cervicitis and can assist clinicians in diagnosing this pathology even in cases where there are no visual changes in the cervix during an examination.

Published: April 2024

The aim: to evaluate the attitude of patients with coronary artery disease and comorbidities to the implementation of patient-centered care in clinical practice.
Materials and methods. We carried out questionnaire survey of two groups of patients with coronary artery disease and comorbidities. The first one consisted of 30 patients with coronary artery disease aged 61-75 (mean age 67,2±5,1 years) who were followed by the cardiologist in the therapeutic department of the State Institution of Sciences “Research and Practical Center of Preventive and Clinical Medicine” State Administrative Department. The second one – 33 military personnel with coronary artery disease aged 50-58 years (mean age 53,2±2,4 years) who came for a scheduled appointment with a general practitioner at the Outpatient Care Clinic of the National military medical clinical center “GVKG”. Methods: system analysis, questionnaire survey, statistical.
Results. According to patient`s opinion cardiologists give much more information about pharmacological treatment, including side effects of medications used (83,3±6,8% in the Ist group vs 33,3±8,2% in the 2nd group, p<0,05) and actions to increase patients` compliance (83,3±6,8% in the Ist group vs 42,4± 8,6% in the 2nd group, p<0,05). This is related to the peculiarities of management of patients with chronic diseases in the State Institution of Science “Research and Practical Center of Preventive and Clinical Medicine” State Administrative Department, in particular, with the follow-up of high-risk cardiac patients, including scheduled appointments and monitoring of patient`s clinical conditions by a cardiologist. Emotional support was given to 93,3±4,6% of patients in the Ist group and to 18,2±6,7% of patients in the 2nd group (p<0,05). 36,7±8,8% of patients in the Ist group and 84,8±6,3% in the 2nd group ( p<0,05) indicated, that they need more information about their treatment plan and involvement in clinical decision-making. 93,3±4,6% of patients in the Ist group and 4,8±6,3 % in the 2nd group were ready to perform self-monitoring of their health conditions and participate in the decision-making process regarding their treatment.
Conclusions. Our survey demonstrated, that the majority of interviewed patients with coronary artery disease and comorbidities are ready to use basic principles of patient-centered care. The necessity to improve patient`s information and education about clinical decision-making and physician`s practical skills in the field of implementation of patient-centered care was substantiated.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the current state of the interior of the palace building of the Uzhhorod Castle of the Transcarpathian Regional Museum of Local Lore (TRMLL) named after T. Legotskyi and to analyze the newest interpretation design models of expositional space. The obtained results, interpret them through philosophical models of interior design, take into account stylistic features; needs of society, trends and advanced technologies in the field of environment design. Research methods. The research is based on ideology, imagery, philosophical interpretation, art history and source studies. As well as modern methods of three-dimensional modeling, texturing, rendering and post-production of the obtained visualizations. The scientific novelty. The article suggests and theoretically substantiates design concepts, philosophical interpretation of interior design and technological equipment. New ideas dealing with exhibitional space and museum exhibition arrangement were put forward. It was successfully managed to combine medieval, Renaissance and baroque fortification architecture, historical design of residential palace interior with modern technologies and plastics. Conclusions. Nowadays interior of palace building of T.Legoskyi TRMLL Uzhhorod Castle is in the state of emergency condition, needs capital repair and restoration. Having analyzed academic works of Transcarpathian historians and having studied the modern condition of Uzhhorod Castle, it appeared to be possible to reveal problems pertaining expositional space arrangement of T.Legoskyi TRMLL- old equipment, the necessity to heat premises and their repair, and the main issue- the need to renovate, create new interior design, which is to be based on sources and at the same time on rethinking of stylistic layers. The achieved interpretation models demonstrare possible ways to renovate exhibition space of the palace building, fully open author ambitions and ideas. The imsges found symbolize continuity of time, rethink medieval, Renaissance and baroque aesthetics-combine the new technologies, modern art trends and authentic paintings and reliefs. Museum T.Legotskyi TRMLL archive exhibits do not fall out from the context, they emphasize specificity of premises and architectural complex in general. Historic continuity and strong stylistic onnection in suggested interpretation models is observed.
Contemporaneity of the Tree of Life Image in the Towels of Poltava Region of the 19th and 20th Centuries
Authors: Gamaliia Kateryna , Bezuhla Anastasiia
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article consists in identifying and analysing the ornaments of traditional towel embroidery of the Poltava region of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the peculiarities of the technique and technology of their production with a focus on the Tree of Life motif for the full reproduction of its authentic meaning in contemporary design.

Research methodology is based on the methods of comparison, analysis and analogies used for a detailed literature analysis. Induction and deduction methods were useful for identifying the characteristic manifestations of the Poltava tradition against the background of embroidered towels of Ukraine. The typological and comparative methods were used in the study of the Poltava region territorial features. The historical method made it possible to study and identify the sequence of embroidery formation, symbolic and semantic features in embroidered towels. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the comparison of the principles of depicting the Tree of Life in embroidered towels of Podillia, Polissia, and Poltava region of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; in the formation of a semiotic meanings list of the Tree of Life in towels of Poltava region, which have been scattered in various scientific works. The article provides recommendations for compliance with the authentic content in the interpretation of the symbolic elements of the Tree of Life image in the products of modern designer clothing brands. Conclusions. The Tree of Life is a complex ornamental element of embroidery, especially evident in the Poltava region, and has a wide range of symbolic meanings: a cosmogonic model of the world, the trinity of the three worlds, Family Tree, Mother Guardian, Holy Trinity, and Our Lady Oranta. In the Poltava region, the image of the Tree of Life in towels has been a well-established tradition since the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with characteristic details in the form of fancy flowers. One of the reasons for the levelling of the sacred and magical load of the Tree-Flower in the ornamental compositions of modern clothing brands can be considered a tendency to generally lighten the informational and philosophical content of the product following consumer tastes. Some Ukrainian designers and brands demonstrate options for models of a successful combination of folklore motifs and authentic tradition with modern fashion trends. Individual Ukrainian designers and brands demonstrate variants of models that successfully combine folklore motifs and authentic tradition with modern fashion trends. Brands recreate traditional embroidery in their own interpretation, so the variety of techniques and technologies for demonstrating embroidery has a rich potential for development.

Authors: Dauar Marina Tedeschi ,   for the PREVENT-AD Research Group, Picard Cynthia , Labonté Anne , Breitner John , Rosa-Neto Pedro , Villeneuve Sylvia , Poirier Judes
Published: April 2024

Background: Apolipoproteins and contactin 5 are proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology. Apolipoproteins act on transport and clearance of cholesterol and phospholipids during synaptic turnover and terminal proliferation. Contactin 5 is a neuronal membrane protein involved in key processes of neurodevelopment. Objective: To investigate the interactions between contactin 5 and apolipoproteins in AD, and the role of these proteins in response to neuronal damage. Methods: Apolipoproteins (measured by Luminex), contactin 5 (measured by Olink’s proximity extension assay), and cholesterol (measured by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry) were assessed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma of cognitively unimpaired participants (n = 93). Gene expression was measured using polymerase chain reaction in the frontal cortex of autopsied-confirmed AD (n = 57) and control subjects (n = 31) and in the hippocampi of mice following entorhinal cortex lesions. Results: Contactin 5 positively correlated with apolipoproteins B (p = 5.4×10–8), D (p = 1.86×10–4), E (p = 2.92×10–9), J (p = 2.65×10–9), and with cholesterol (p = 0.0096) in the CSF, and with cholesterol (p = 0.02), HDL (p = 0.0143), and LDL (p = 0.0121) in the plasma. Negative correlations were seen between CNTN5, APOB (p = 0.034) and APOE (p = 0.015) mRNA levels in the brains of control subjects. In the mouse model, apoe and apoj gene expression increased during the reinnervation phase (p <  0.05), while apob (p = 0.023) and apod (p = 0.006) increased in the deafferentation stage. Conclusions: Extensive interactions were observed between contactin 5 and apolipoproteins and cholesterol, possibly due to neuronal damage. The alterations in gene expression of apolipoproteins suggest a role in axonal, terminal, and synaptic remodeling in response to entorhinal cortex damage.

Published: April 2024

Background: Lipids have a significant impact on the development and functioning of the nervous system, but the sex differences between the association of LDL/HDL, which reflects lipid metabolic status, and cognitive impairment remains unclear. Objective: We aimed to determine if there were sex differences between the association of LDL/HDL and cognitive function in US older adults. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2012 and 2013–2014 cycles. The main outcome was poor cognitive performance defined by the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) <  34 based on published literature. Results: A total of 1,225 participants were included in the study, with a cognitive impairment incidence of 25.6% (314/1,225). Multivariate regression models demonstrated a significant association between cognitive decline and each 1-unit increase in LDL/HDL, after adjusting for all covariates (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11–1.67). Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed an interaction between LDL/HDL and cognitive impairment in sex subgroups. Conclusions: LDL/HDL was associated with cognitive impairment in the US older adult population in adjusted models, although the significance of this association was not observed in females.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic presented numerous obstacles to people of different health status and capabilities. There is scarcity of information on the coping mechanisms for people with substance use disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic in Arab nations. This study aimed to identify behavioural mechanisms and factors associated with how the COVID-19 pandemic measures imposed among people with substance use disorders in Oman. METHODS: Survey data on demographic and behavioural factors from 61 respondents with substance use disorder receiving treatment at a specialised hospital. Changes in behaviour related to substance use due to the COVID-19 measures were investigated using demographic and modifiable factors. For the specific study evaluation, the variables studied included; age, family size, marital status, employment status, suicidal thoughts, and ways of substance abuse, family responsibilities, hospitalisation tendency, and change of behaviour. FINDINGS: All enrolled participants were male. On average, the participants were 16-48 years old (mean age 31.5 years, SD=6.82). The study findings show that the consumption of morphine as the main drug compared to others (OR = 0.03, _p_=0.003) resulted in a reduction in the odds of feeling increased effects of COVID-19 measures among individuals with substance use disorder. Furthermore, the increase in effects was significant among the participants who opted to be hospitalised to reduce drug use (OR=9.97, _p_=0.017) and those who took overdoses (OR=8.17, _p_=0.008). CONCLUSION: The study findings indicate that due to the measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic measures, individuals with drug use disorders switched to different types of drugs, such as morphine, to reduce the effects due to the measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, people with drug use disorders who took overdoses and those hospitalised were more associated with increased effects of measures implemented at the time. The implication of our findings is that outreach and community-based services should be made more accessible for people with drug use disorders, since this could relieve effects due to measures usually implemented to curb pandemics.
Analogical Visuospatial Matrix Reasoning, Verbal Relational Reasoning, Verbal IQ and Memory Relationships With Maths and Science: A Behavioural and fMRI Study
Authors: Gountas John , Moraes Marcela
Published: April 2024

There is no research that combines behavioural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research approaches to investigate the relationships between analogical reasoning and the mediating and moderating effects of working memory, verbal IQ, visuospatial and verbal reasoning on students’ performance of maths and science. This paper investigates all these multiple relationships between working memory (WM), verbal IQ, visuospatial and verbal reasoning with performance in maths and science accuracy. The multimethod research consists of a behavioural survey and a fMRI neuroscience investigating the interactive and multiple relationships of all cognitive independent variables (IVs) with the dependent variables (DVs) of maths and science performance. Using structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and Warp Partial Least Squares (Warp PLS) analytical approach, the research discusses the findings of both, the behavioural and fMRI data. The adolescent sample (N=34) for the behavioural and fMRI study, was recruited from consenting schools in London, UK, and consisted of equal numbers of girls and boys between 11-15 years old. The hypothesised behavioural SEM model predicted positive relationships between all the independent variables (IV) of visuospatial matrix reasoning (VSMatAR), verbal analogical reasoning (VerbAR), verbal working memory (VWM), visuospatial working memory (VSWM) and verbal IQ, with performance in maths and science accuracy. The findings support all hypotheses except two and identifies verbal IQ, Verbal WM and VerbAR as the three strongest predictors of maths and science accuracy. The hypothesised fMRI SEM, produced mixed results, which supported some of the hypothesised relationships between the IVs of verbal AR and VSMatrix AR associations and four brain regions, namely, the bilateral dorso lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), Parietal, Temporal and pre-supplementary motor area (PSMA). The paper makes two original contributions, firstly, by testing the hypothesis that Verbal WM mediates the independent variables’ effects on maths and science outcomes. And secondly, by using Warp PLS to test the SEM (behavioural and fMRI) models’ multiple non-linear interactions simultaneously between the IVs with the DVs of maths and science accuracy. The research produced some interesting new insights relevant for educational practitioners regarding the strong relationships between Verbal analogical reasoning and maths and science performance for adolescent students.
A Modest Contribution to the Riemann Hypothesis Using the Poincaré Index
Authors: Oliveira Hime
Published: April 2024

This work uses a new approach to investigate the Riemann hypothesis, drawing conclusions about its trueness. It is based on the more general method presented in a very recent publication, by the same author, showing in detail how to approach that very well-known and interesting problem. This is achieved by means of the theory of dynamical systems (Poincaré index associated to equilibria of 2-dimensional systems) and the study of the zeros of the Dirichlet eta function, defined by a Dirichlet series. By using the well-known fact that the zeros of the eta function would include all zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the (open) critical strip, excluded the critical line, \(( (0,1/2) \cup (1/2, 1) ) \times (-\infty , \infty)\), the development proceeds using only the eta function. In addition, the open and simply connected region \((1/2 , 1) \times (0 , \infty)\) is used along the text, taking into account the symmetries of zeros of the functions under analysis in the critical strip. The basic line of proof is to find the mathematical expression for the Poincaré index of the vector field associated to the eta function, assuming the existence of a zero of the eta function outside the critical line (in \((1/2 , 1) \times (0 , \infty)\)), and investigating the resulting unfoldings. Eventually, an inconsistency occurs and the proof ends by contradiction.
Az Izrael–Hamász háború és az izraeli nemzetbiztonsági stratégia jövője
Authors: Csepregi Zsolt
Published: April 2024

A Hamász 2023. október 7-én végrehajtott terrortámadása megrengette az izraeli nemzetbiztonsági stratégia alappilléreit. A tanulmány bemutatja, hogy az izraeli katonai és nemzetbiztonsági stratégia mind a négy pillérje: a korai előrejelzés, az elrettentés, a döntő győzelem és a védelem is – még ha csak átmenetileg és korlátozott mértékben, de – súlyos kudarcot vallottak. Ezzel együtt is ugyanakkor amellett érvelek, hogy mindez nem jelenti egyértelműen, hogy Izrael hasonló kudarcot vallott volna egy, a létét fenyegető háború kitörésének esetében. Az Izrael–Hamász háború valójában izraeli képességek tekintetében egy közepes szintű biztonsági kihívásra adott vészhelyzeti katonai művelet, nem pedig a stratégia alapját képező létért vívott háború. A háború kitörése nyomán azonban jogosan azonosíthatunk és elemezhetünk számos hiányosságot Izrael nemzetbiztonsági készenlétével és hatékonyságával kapcsolatban, továbbá a tanulmány bemutatja a fő fejlesztési irányokat.
A mesterséges intelligencia biztonsági kockázatai egy új korszak kezdetén
Authors: Szabó Hedvig
Published: April 2024

Ma már egyértelmű, hogy a mesterséges intelligencia (MI) megváltoztatta a biztonsági helyzetet, ebből eredően a bűnözők lehetőségeit is, hiszen a rosszindulatú szereplők kezében az MI újabb lehetőséget teremt bűncselekmények elkövetésére. Már rendelkezésre állnak az Interpol és Europol által kiadott, bűnügyi helyzetet értékelő dokumentumok, hogy az MI már most milyen változásokat hozott a bűnözésben. Jelen tanulmány számba veszi egyrészről, hogy milyen kiberbűncselekmény-típusokban történt szintlépés az MI-megoldásoknak köszönhetően. Másrészről bemutatja, hogy a pszichológiai manipuláció tökéletesre fejleszthető a technológia használatával, evvel teret adva az átverések új generációjának, amikor már a biztonságtudatosság sem nyújt kellő védelmet. A deepfake módszer nemcsak a teljes megtévesztés lehetőségét hozza el, hanem a büntetőeljárásban is felveti a bizonyítékok felhasználhatóságának kérdését: hogyan lehet a kép- és hangfelvételek valódiságát, hitelességét biztosítani. A nagy nyelvi modellek előretörése lehetőséget ad a rossz szándékú szereplőknek biológiai fegyver előállítására is az MI biztonsági protokolljainak kijátszásával. Mindemellett a bűnözésben is kialakul az információs társadalomra jellemző megosztásos modell, amely a bűnelkövetés mint szolgáltatás metódusban követhető leginkább nyomon.
A stratégiai gondolkodás változása a cseh nemzeti biztonsági stratégiák tükrében a rendszerváltozástól napjainkig
Authors: Benedek Márta
Published: April 2024

A gyorsan változó és rendkívül összetett, kölcsönhatásokra épülő biztonsági környezet szükségessé teszi az államok reagálását a biztonságpolitikai kihívásokra, legyen szó akár a belső, akár a külső fenyegetésekről. A cseh kormány 2023. június 28-án fogadta el az ország új Nemzeti Biztonsági Stratégáját, ami felváltotta a legutóbbi, több mint nyolc évig hatályban lévő dokumentumot. A tanulmány célja, hogy bemutassa a cseh stratégiai gondolkodás változását a rendszerváltástól napjainkig a kihívások, kockázatok és fenyegetések rendszerére, illetve a nemzeti érdek meghatározására fókuszálva, valamint rámutasson arra az új megközelítésre, amely teljesen új perspektívát jelent az ország biztonságfelfogásában.
