Published: February 2025

Introduction. The institutional approach to financial market regulation is relevant and necessary to ensure its stability, transparency, and efficiency, which in turn contributes to sustainable economic development. The article aims to study the problems and modern trends in the development of the financial market within the framework of the institutional approach.

Materials and Methods. In studying the topic of institutional regulation of the financial capital market, we used publications in peer-reviewed journals on economics and finance, as well as open sources dedicated to the theory of financial regulation, institutional economics, and financial markets.

Results. Successful resolution of issues on institutional regulation of the financial market (using Russia as an example) requires a comprehensive approach and all interested parties involved, including the government, investors, and representatives of the business community. The prospects for financial market development are linked to the need to adapt it to new conditions, strengthen the protection of market participants rights and of society as a whole, increase the transparency and accountability of market participants, as well as strengthen the role of regulators and international cooperation.

Conclusion. Recognizing the inherent fragility of financial markets and focusing on systemic risks, the institutional approach can lead to more reliable regulatory frameworks that contribute to overall financial stability.
Evaluation of the Moon Jae-in Administration's Defense Policy and Military Strategy
Authors:   Korea Research Institute for Strategy, Yoo Inseok
Published: February 2025

In the peaceful mood of inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation, defense policy was often faced with the dilemma of confronting the conflicting strategic demands of maintaining firm defense posture and building military confidence. As North Korea policy occupies a key position in the national security strategy, it has had a significant impact on defense policy, which has led to ideological cleavage and confusion in the formulation of policies and strategies. This paper evaluates the Moon Jae-in Administration's defense policy from the perspective of the dynamics between politics and the military. The core argument of the paper is that political influence in the military field has been excessively exerted in the process of inter-Korean military agreement and its implementation which has led to the detriment of the overall defense policy and the establishment of military strategy.
In the process of arms control, careful examination and judgment at the military and strategic levels were not properly reflected, leaving many questions in the historical evaluation of the September 19 military agreement. The military has focused on tangible measures to implement the military agreement, and as a result, efforts and capabilities to build a counter strategies and system to North Korea's nuclear threat have been dispersed. These cases suggest the importance of prudent and rational judgment from the standpoint of national interest on the “proposition” that the military should be subordinated to “political” purposes, and that a strategy is needed to prepare for changes in North-South relations in the long term.
The Evaluation of the validity of establishing the Drone Operation Command : focusing on military necessity and environmental suitability in Korea
Authors:   Korea Research Institute for Strategy, Jang Jaekyu
Published: February 2025

The Drone Operation Command is being criticized for having various problems as it is in a hurry to create a physical unit without a careful review and verification process at the strategic and operational level. The study evaluated the validity of the establishment of the Drone Operation Command based on military necessity and environmental suitability in Korea. As a result of the evaluation, there were some positive factors in terms of military needs and effectiveness in achieving missions, but all other factors were negative. In conclusion, it can be said that the validity of the establishment of the Drone Operation Command is very low.
Therefore, in the current situation where the Drone Operation Command has been established and operated, the best alternative is to develop the positive elements and to mitigate the negative elements. The areas that require continuous development are to improve the capability of anti-drone operations using killer drones and to secure early attack capabilities against the origin of North Korea's drone provocation. The areas that need to be mitigated are for the drone operation command to use the military services’ drone combat development systems rather than operating a separate system and to develop a transition plan in case of emergency so that it does not become an idle combat force during wartime.

Authors:   Korea Research Institute for Strategy, Kwon Young-ho , Kihl Byung-ok
Published: February 2025

Global security instability is intensifying as military competition between the United States and China, which are challenging to maintain hegemony in the Pacific region, intensifies. The formation of a confrontational structure between South Korea, the United States and Japan-North Korea, China and Russia in Northeast Asia, the expansion of China and Japan's military power, close military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, and the promotion of North Korean nuclear missiles are increasing security concerns in South Korea. the South Korean military is required to make revolution of military affairs(RMA) to foster an elite military force that fits the reality of the battlefield on the Korean peninsula, taking into account the changes in modern warfare and future warfare.
The purpose of this study is to examine the RMA competition between the United States and China, which are military powers that are affecting the security of the Korean peninsula, and to present implications for Korea's RMA. First, the concept of terms related to RMA was established, and the three elements that constitute RMA(operational oncept, Military system and organization) were summarized. After reviewing the theory, the competition for RMA between the United States and China, which leads RMA, was examined from the perspective of the three elements of RMA. Accordingly, the implications for Korea's RMA were presented in terms of 'operational concept in line with the enemies and characteristics of the Korean military', 'development of an asymmetric military system', and 'innovation in organizing a military organization suitable for future warfare'.

Authors:   Korea Research Institute for Strategy, Kim HyunSeung
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to analyze the operational mechanisms of China's maritime militia and to examine what measures Korea to take in preparation for them focusing on the security and military aspect. China has a system that can convene and operate maritime militia on a large scale within a short notice of alert by using a unified command and control organization. In addition, China's maritime militia have the ability to carry out a large spectrum of mission, from routine fishing activities during peacetime to auxiliary operations for armed forces during wartime.
South Korea, which is adjacent to China, needs the following efforts in case China deploys maritime militia in vicinity of South Korea’s waters for exclaiming its maritime jurisdiction in the West Sea(Yellow Sea) or the waters around Ieodo Island(Socotra Rock). First, South Korea needs to establish a state-level control tower to deal with maritime security issues. Second, the South Korean maritime police must strengthen their capacity to defend maritime sovereignty. Third, cooperation related to maritime security between the ROK Navy and the ROK Coast Guard needs to be advanced. Forth, the ROK Navy is required to be more active in naval presence that demonstrate South Korea’s will to defend the maritime domain. Finally, More efforts are needed to strengthen maritime confidence building measures (maritime CBMs) between South Korea and China.
Korea's Strategy for responding to neighboring countries base on the absolute security perspective : About the Chinese military threat
Authors:   Korea Research Institute for Strategy, Chang Ryong
Published: February 2025

The Republic of Korea has been paying a huge price because of the division of the Korean peninsula and threats from neighboring countries. This is because the geographical location of the Korean Peninsula was a point where continental and maritime powers collided. Therefore, the Republic of Korea must pay for national survival and prosperity with an absolute security perspective based on realism in international relations.
In this context, we evaluated the strategic environment regarding China, which poses the greatest threat to the Republic of Korea. And if a Conflict breaks out between the United States and China, a Conflict could break out between Japan and China. In this case, we analyzed the impact on Korea and presented Korea's response plan.
Additionally, a dispute may arise between Korea and China. and China could try military intervention on the Korean Peninsula when a war may break out between North and South Korea. In these cases, the concept of how to use the Korean military force against China force was described.
The Prospect of China’s Use of Force against Taiwan and Korea’s Security
Authors:   Korea Research Institute for Strategy, LEE Changhyung
Published: February 2025

Taiwan is considered the highest risk of conflict in the world. The purpose of this paper is to understand the prospects of China's use of force against Taiwan and its impact on Korea's security.
To this end, Chapter II examines China's use of force against Taiwan, and Chapter III analyzes the crisis cases of the Taiwan Strait and the positions of related countries, and Chapter IV, three representative military conflict scenarios in the Taiwan Strait were assumed.
At this point, China's military capabilities have an overwhelming advantage over Taiwan, but it is not easy for China to successfully invade Taiwan if the United States and regional countries support Taiwan. The scenario that can be assumed by referring to the scenario of the US think tank can be considered as the generalization of crisis, local military conflict, and full-scale military conflict. The Taiwan Strait crisis has a profound impact on South Korea's security. A combination of factors, including lack of military preparedness, strategic flexibility, economic impact, balancing between the U.S. and China, domestic public opinion, and threats from North Korea, complicates South Korea's security environment. Therefore, Korea needs to come up with a multifaceted strategy and strengthen cooperation with the United States in preparation for this situation.

Authors: Asdal Åsmund
Published: February 2025

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is the largest safety backup of the world´s crop diversity. It offers safe storage for duplicates of seed samples conserved in genebanks worldwide. Since its opening in 2008, 123 institutes located in 87 different countries have deposited 1,331,458 seed samples of 6,297 crop and crop wild relative species in the Seed Vault. European institutes have very actively taken advantage of the opportunity to back up their genetic seed material. As of today, 38 institutes located in 30 different European countries have deposited 178,999 seed samples in the Seed Vault. Details about seed samples, depositors and species are publicly available through the Seed Portal website. The seed samples that are deposited in the Seed Vault remain the property of the depositing institute. The germplasm is at their disposal if they should need it, e.g. if the material in their home collections is damaged or inaccessible. The Seed Vault has already proved its value and importance for securing plant genetic resources when the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), formerly having its headquarters and genebank in Aleppo, Syria had to relocate their genebank activities, due to the Syrian Civil War. Deposited seeds withdrawn from the Seed Vault formed the basis for establishing new genebank functions at ICARDA units in Morocco and Lebanon.

Coverage of the Turkish-Armenian war of 1920 in the Boston daily newspaper "Hayrenik"
Authors: Ghanalanyan Tigran
Published: February 2025

An analysis of the coverage of the 1920 Turkish-Armenian war in the Boston-based "Hairenik" daily newspaper provides insights into the information available to Armenian-Americans regarding military operations during that era. The analyses and commentaries are of particular interest. The articles demonstrate the prevailing sentiments among Armenian-American Dashnaks. There are frequent attempts to explain the negative consequences of the war solely by external factors. These attempts note that the government of the Republic of Armenia did everything possible to prevent defeat. It is notable that there is a tendency to overestimate one's own forces and to underestimate the opponent.
A significant proportion of the publications in question are devoted to the criticism of parties that are opposed to the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation). The most noteworthy articles relate to the dissemination of false information. One particularly notable example is the recapture of Kars by Armenians. Information is circulated about the capture of Armenian Bolsheviks who were fighting on the Turkish side.

CARTEA PSALMILOR DIN VULGATA DE LA BLAJ (1760-1761): ÎNTRE MODELUL LATIN ȘI TRADIȚIE
Authors: TĂRNĂUCEANU Claudia Antoanela , GÎNSAC Ana-Maria
Published: February 2025

Blaj Vulgate’s Book of Psalms (1760-1761): between the
Latin model and tradition. The first Romanian translation of the Bible from
Latin, dating from the second half of the 18th century, shows multiple concordances
with previous versions, translated from Slavonic and Greek. Studying the hypothesis of a possible Latin source of the 16th-century Romanian psalters, we aim to investigate to what degree translation options from the Blaj Vulgate’s Book of Psalms
are similar to those of the old translators. The analysis of several translation choices, mainly at the syntactic level, showed multiple resemblances in the use of some
prepositions, most of them due to the Latin origin of Romanian; on the other hand,
Vulgate explains the use of various prepositions in the translation from Blaj compared to older versions. As for the particular traits of biblical Latin, also occurring
in the Romanian versions, the concordances can be explained by the existence of
similar structures in Greek (often influenced by Hebrew) that were transferred
both in the Latin and Slavonic translations, the latter transmitting them to the Romanian versions, or through the existence of similar structures in Latin and Slavonic.

Optimizing Diabetes Control: The Role of Machine Learning in Disease Management
Authors: Xhaferra Edmira , Ismaili Florije
Published: February 2025

The article deals with four of the most widely used models, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, SVM, and Logistic Regression, regarding their applicability to diabetes prediction and management. This research assesses the predictive capabilities of such models in predicting diabetes based on several performance measures such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC while checking the relative importance of some of the main features such as Age and BMI in the task of diabetes prediction. However, it is determined that Random Forest and SVM results have surpassed those of other models and Random Forest demonstrated the superior performance. Still, this article mentioned that such studies were related to real-time challenges of diabetic care due to improper data, difficulty in explanation, and social problems such as data privacy, and bias, in applying ML models. The findings indicate that machine learning can significantly improve diabetes management, but its integration into healthcare systems requires further research and development. Future work should focus on the incorporation of deep learning, personalized medicine, and wearable technologies to improve prediction accuracy and patient outcomes.

Digital Twin-Assisted Deep Learning with Model Fusion for Detecting Multiple Sclerosis in MRI Modalities
Authors: Palaniappan Ramya , Rathinavelayutham Siva
Published: February 2025

The advancement of technologies such as IoT, Big Data, Data Science, Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality, and cloud computing has transformed the manufacturing sector through the Digital Twin (DT), serving as a potent instrument for simulating concepts into practice. Recently, artificial intelligence has been merged with digital technology to conduct research in the healthcare sector, facilitating judgments on the planning of patients’ clinical courses and the allocation of available medical resources. DTs can be utilized in the medical industry to facilitate clinical decision-making, providing prognoses and personalized treatment for patients. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurological disorder that impacts the central nervous system, potentially resulting in neurological impairment and mortality if left untreated. [X1]. In this research study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) samples collected from the E-Health lab and IXI databases are used to construct the DT empowered with artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of MS in a robust manner. We propose a hybrid CNN-RNN model for detecting MS in two phases. In the first phase, the deep features of the MRI modalities are extracted by two transfer learning models, m-InceptionV3 and m-DenseNet121. In the second phase, the classification of extracted features to either healthy or MS is performed by the Long Short-Term Memory RNN model. Deep learning metrics like precision, recall, F1 score, and accuracy are used to validate the performance of the proposed model. The proposed model outperformed the other state-of-the-art models achieving a good performance of 99.67% in validation accuracy. This healthcare DT pipeline may assist in clinical decision-making for MS detection and planning post-MS rehabilitation.

Antibiotics are a distinct class of drugs that underpin contemporary medicine. In Nigeria, antibiotics is a hugely prescribed medication with up to 71.1% of antibiotics prescribed per encounter. Its massive use and importance mean that it is usually targeted for counterfeiting and there is the need to evaluate the prevalence of counterfeited antibiotics in Nigeria. This work used a machine learning model to evaluate the incidence of counterfeit antibiotic in the six geopolitical regions of Nigeria. Counterfeiting status of 764 randomly sampled antibiotics from all regions was obtained and separated into training and testing sets. Two versions of training data were generated with SMOTE resampling technique, the training data contain 16.4% counterfeited antibiotics while the two versions generated contain 40% and 50% respectively. Three binary logistic regression models B1, B2 and B3 were fitted to the training data and it two versions. The performance of the fitted models was assessed with relevant metrics and the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. The results disclosed a higher rate of counterfeit antibiotic in the three northern regions of Nigeria. The results also revealed model accuracies for B1=84.1%, B2= B3=69.6%. and model sensitivity value B1= 0%, B2 = B3=75.8%. The Area Under Curve (AUC) ROC scores of 0.63 and F2-score of 0.59 shows the inadequacy of the model to correctly predict counterfeited antibiotics. The work however revealed that the northern regions are more targeted for antibiotics counterfeiting than southern regions, suggesting there is a clustered spatial distribution of counterfeited antibiotics in Nigeria.

Published: February 2025

Variations in shapes and morphometry of spleen is seen. Number and location of splenic notches show regional variation. This study is done to determine tools for sexual dimorphism of spleen. 72 spleen of known sex were used from cadavers used for 1st MBBS dissection. Shape, number and location of splenic notches were noted. Length, breadth, thickness and weight of spleen were calculated. Triangular shaped spleen was seen most commonly. Maximum 5 notches were seen on a spleen. Morphometric measurements showed regional variations and sexual dimorphism. We conclude that formation of splenic notches by incomplete fusion of various lobes has been mentioned in earlier embryological studies but new hypothesis suggests that these notches can be considered developmental variations. A wide variation in shapes and morphometrics of spleen is seen. They can be used as tools of sexual dimorphism.

Published: February 2025

The focus of this work is to analyses the radiation and Hall current effect in a hybrid nanofluid with melting heat transfer flowing magneto hydrodynamically across a variable thickness sheet. The mathematical formulation involves a system of partial differential equations (PDEs), which are transformed into Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through the application of suitable similarity transformation. The MATLAB (9.14) software's bvp4c approach (Shooting method) performs the numerical calculations. This study highlights the influence of Hall Effect, melting heat rate, and MHD on several flow parameters, such as temperature, fluid velocity, skin friction and Nusselt number distributions. The results are displayed graphically. Hybrid nanofluid and Hall Effect drastically change the flow and temperature properties.

Published: February 2025

Computed tomography (CT) is used to visualize body structures and diagnose anomalies, making it an important tool in medical diagnosis and therapy planning. However, imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, ultrasound (US), and PET are frequently hampered by numerous types of noise, including Gaussian, speckle, Poisson variability, and salt-andpepper disturbances. These noises are created by technological interference, image processing flaws, and patient movement, which reduce image clarity and conceal key diagnostic details. The major difficulty in medical imaging is to remove noise while retaining important diagnostic information. Traditional denoising algorithms, such as Gaussian, median, and Wiener filters, frequently fail to adequately control complicated noise patterns or preserve small image details, limiting their utility in medical applications. This study presents an advanced unsupervised blind image denoising strategy that use an integrated model to treat numerous noise types without requiring paired noisy and clean images. The suggested method uses a deep and dense generative adversarial network (DD-GAN) with a new loss function to efficiently reduce noise and degradation at various intensity levels. This method advances CT image denoising by tackling issues such as intra-class variability, artefact importance, and training complexity, hence enhancing diagnostic reliability and accuracy
