The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of the impact of the digitization process of all spheres of human activity on the provision of social and economic development in accordance with the principles of sustainability. To achieve the defined goal, a number of modern general scientific techniques and research methods were used, in particular: the method of analysis and synthesis, clarification of the content of the main phenomena and categories, generalization, etc. The modern world is undergoing a digital revolution with significant implications for global economies and livelihoods. General informatization was replaced by digitization, the resulting manifestation of which is the formation of a digital economy. Taking advantage of the global digital ecosystem is essential for both advanced and developing countries. The need for new sources of innovation, including digital ones, is the main impetus for national initiatives of many countries to transfer the economy to a digital vector of development. The digital economy, its construction and development, currently represent a global consensus. Today, the digital economy has significantly evolved, and its influence has become much more fundamental. The advantages of the development of digital technologies can be used not only as a tool to increase the level of efficiency of operational processes, but also as a way to ensure the sustainable development of global civilization. Digital processes are analyzed and their conceptual role in sustainable development is described. It is substantiated that the key role of sustainable development is smart growth built on knowledge, innovation and inclusion. It is established that, according to the conceptual principles of sustainable development, digitalization can have both positive and negative effects. Emphasis is placed on the need to form and implement a balanced and safe paradigm for the development of digitalization, the material basis of which will be knowledge, innovative safety, socially oriented technologies, and moral principles and responsibility.

THE PRINCIPLE OF NON-INTERFERENCE CURTAILS ASEAN ACTION IN ADDRESSING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION IN MYANMAR
Authors: Endi Haryono  , Abdullah Sumrahadi  , Anak Agung Istri Ratu Masayu Narayani
Published: May 2024

This article described and analyzed the dilemma faced by ASEAN under its non-interference principle in managing the human rightsissues in Myanmar. The presence of that principle severely curtails ASEAN’s firm action to promote and protect human rights stronglybased on the ASEAN’s commitment written in the ASEAN Charter and the ASEAN Declaration of Human Rights (ADHR). This articleutilizes the qualitative research method supported by secondary data to provide an in-depth and comprehensive analysis. ASEAN’sprotection of human rights is reflected by its active conduct of regular discussions and engagements on human rights issues in the region, the adoption of the ADHR, and the establishment of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR). Thehuman rights issues gained more attention in ASEAN in 1997 as the United States and European Union opposed the ASEAN decision toaccept Myanmar as a member on the grounds of the human rights violations record in Myanmar. The membership in ASEAN did notimprove the human rights record in Myanmar as ASEAN had hoped for. Myanmar embarked on other human rights violations, amongothers the Rohingya crisis (2012) and the military coup against the democratic government (2021) that sparked criticism from abroadand within ASEAN. This study concluded that the principle of noninterference has set the limit and curtailed ASEAN’s contributiontoward optimally addressing human rights violations in Myanmar. ASEAN may need in the future a new and comprehensive mechanism for addressing human rights violations. A stronger constructive engagement policy should be put in place to set a universal standard to protect human rights in the region.

Authors: Singh Mehtab
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this research project was to design an airfoil section which replaced the standard hinged flap with a compliant system mechanism flap for light-weight unmanned aircraft. The output of this research was to optimize a morphing flap that could work with Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament for Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D-printing. Nitinol was used as the main source of actuation for the system. Several configurations were made for the sizing of the main hinge on the rear spar of the airfoil while there were three configurations were made for the auxetic rib structure at the trailing edge. Theoretical hinge angular deflection was found to be 7.11 degrees for the configuration chosen while the auxetic horizontal deflection was found to be 0.0005mm. The three simulations for the flexure bar, auxetic honeycomb, and hexagonal structure designs had deflection angles of 6.96, 7.59, and 8.083 degrees respectively. The final design was chosen as the hexagonal structure as it was the highest deflection angle.

Security Assessment Framework for IOT via Glove Optimized CNN-BiLSTM
Authors: V Arun , S Ramesh , Sobia M Carmel , A Geetha
Published: May 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vast network of real, tangible objects or "things" that can communicate and share data with other systems and gadgets over the Internet. A vital component of assuring the secure and dependable operation of IoT systems and devices is IoT security. Attackers may use IoT devices to get unauthorized access, change functionality, or compromise the data that the device collects and transmits. The risks of IoT security breaches grow as more devices connect and exchange sensitive data. To check the vulnerability in Iot devices, a novel Blockchain enabled Iot based Security Assessment for intrusion (Block-ISAI) technique has been proposed. Bag of Words (BoW) technique is used for feature extraction of API documents which helps to make the document simpler. Blockchain technology is utilized for secure data storage and IoT device registration. In order to detect intrusion, a deep learning architecture is designed using the verified data The attack is either detected or not detected when the vulnerability is found using the GloVe-CNN-BiLSTM Model. If the vulnerability is detected then alerts will be given. Utilizing evaluation measures like accuracy, time efficiency, precision, F1 score, detection rate, recall, false alarm rate, usability and reliability the efficacy of the suggested ISAI technique has been assessed. By the comparison analysis, the proposed ISAI technique’s detection rate is 18.22%, 19.43%, and 3.13% higher than the existing HIDS, NIDS, and ML-DDoS techniques respectively. The accuracy of the proposed system is increased by 0.69%, 6.04%, and 36.15% as compared to the HIDS, NIDS, and ML-DDoS method using UNSW-NB 15 dataset and increases by 2.37%, 18.32%, and 5.95% using KDDCUP 19 dataset respectively.
Federated Learning Implementation with Privacy Leakage Prevention for Hand-Written Digit Recognition
Authors: Priyadarsini N. Indira , Raja Govindan
Published: May 2024

Federated learning (FL) has brought significant advantages to applications where collaborative learning should occur at multiple participating devices to enhance user experience in specific tasks. However, FL results in privacy leakage when n-1 clients collude to infer the model of another client. In this paper, we not only implement an FL framework but propose a methodology for preventing privacy leakage while realizing machine learning-based automatic hand-written digit recognition. Our framework supports the FL of deep networks where models trained locally are averaged. Two machine learning models Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) are implemented with FL. We proposed an algorithm, Federated Averaging with Privacy Leakage Prevention (FA-PLP), for model averaging to be done by the server. Our algorithm exploits differential privacy (DP) for realizing model averaging while getting rid of chances of privacy leakage. We evaluated our framework with two distributions of the MNIST dataset. Our empirical results revealed that FA-PLP with the CNN model could achieve the highest accuracy of 95.38%.
Speed Control of Switched Reluctance Motor using Adaptive Fuzzy Backstepping Sliding Mode Control
Authors: Phi Hoang Nha , Pham Van Hung
Published: May 2024

The Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs), with many outstanding advantages, are gradually being widely applied in industries, households, and recommended in many works. However, most studies in the field of SRM control only concentrate on the mathematical model of the motor itself, neglecting the nonlinearity introduced by the inverter, which is responsible for switching between phases to drive the motor. This paper proposes an adaptive backstepping sliding mode control algorithm based on the SRM nonlinear model that combines both the motor and the inverter. Firstly, a backstepping sliding mode controller is used to track the desired value and ensure the stability of the system according to the Lyapunov criterion. Secondly, a fuzzy logic system is added to adjust the controller parameters to account for uncertainty and external disturbance, as well as to minimize the chattering phenomenon. Finally, a few simulation scenarios are performed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed controller. The simulation results clearly demonstrate that the proposed controller surpasses the previously published H infinity controller in terms of speed control quality for the combined nonlinear model of SRM. The proposed controller exhibits zero steady-state error, zero overshoot, and a short settling time of approximately 0.5 seconds. Moreover, the system's output quickly stabilizes when affected by disturbance noise.

Published: May 2024

Intramuscular injections, crucial for medication and vaccine delivery, often induce significant pain, particularly in pregnant women undergoing routine immunizations. Tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccination, vital for maternal and neonatal health, poses a recurring challenge due to associated discomfort. The Helfer Skin Tap Technique (HSTT), known for alleviating injection pain in adults, remains underexplored in pregnant populations. This study evaluates HSTT's efficacy in reducing pain during tetanus toxoid intramuscular vaccination in pregnant women. Employing a true experimental design, 60 primigravida participants aged 18 to 35 were randomly assigned to experimental (HSTT) and control groups. Pain levels, physiological responses, and HSTT's impact were assessed. Results indicate a significant reduction in pain perception (p=0.004) in the experimental group, corroborated by physiological indicators. When examining physiological indicators of pain, statistically significant differences were observed in heart rate (p=0.02) and respiratory rate (p=0.001) between the two groups. However, no significant difference was found in blood pressure (p=0.98) between the two groups. HSTT offers a promising avenue for enhancing prenatal care experiences and maternal well-being. Further research should explore its long-term effects, applicability, and cost-effectiveness in obstetric settings to ensure equitable access to pain management interventions for pregnant women worldwide.
Dudley, Ed., The Vietnam War - Opposing Viewpoints
Authors: Votaw John
Published: May 2024

Books of "readings" invariably reflect the attitudes of the editors who select and shape the materials to be included in the book. That in itself is a reason to be cautious in using such books as texts, particularly in a course dealing with the complex historical events that make up the American-Vietnamese war of the 1960s and 1970s. William Dudley and his colleagues on the staff of Greenhaven Press have chosen thirty-two selections of varying length, organized them in for-or-against pairings in six chapters, and introduced each chapter with a short preface. Dudley is not a professional historian, but the book, one in a series in the "opposing viewpoints" format, is competently manufactured with an excellent glossary, chronology, and bibliography, the latter including many of the most important books dealing with the Vietnam War.
Olson And Roberts, Eds., My Lai - A Brief History With Documents,
Authors: Tate Michael
Published: May 2024

No issue has more divided Americans in recent decades than the Vietnam War, and the painful reminder of the My Lai Massacre stills haunts the nation today. Charlie Company's murder of almost 400 noncombatants shocked a public already polarized by the government's growing credibility gap following the Tet Offensive. When Seymour Hersh's articles first appeared in November 1969, many people refused to believe that American soldiers could perpetrate such a heinous crime on civilians, but others were quick to point out that atrocities routinely had been carried out by both sides in the protracted Southeast Asian war. Ron Haeberle's graphic photographs of the massacre, which were published in Life magazine during the following month, further fueled the debate and led to creation of the Peers Commission to conduct a thorough investigation.
Gordon, Four Dead In Ohio - Was There A Conspiracy At Kent State?
Authors: Woestman Kelly
Published: May 2024

The title of William A. Gordon's book about the 1970 tragedy at Kent State University clearly indicates to the reader the author's approach to the topic. Born near Kent, Ohio, Gordon attended Kent State and this obviously sparked his interest in the topic. While it is apparent that he spent much time researching the events of May 1970, his lack of historical expertise presents a clouded view of the tragedy. Gordon's authorship of two Hollywood tour guides are his only other listed credentials. He claims that no history professors at Kent State would even discuss the tragedy with him. As Gordon explains the roadblocks he encountered in writing this book, the reader only becomes more convinced that the author failed to accurately analyze the evidence and only pursued avenues that would support his belief of a conspiracy. In other words, the lack of evidence to prove the innocence of those involved means that they are all guilty -- hardly the conclusion of someone sifting through all the facts and not just the ones that support his hypothesis. Gordon's unclear citations make it even more difficult for readers to follow the trail of evidence.
Stephen Spielberg's "Amistad"
Authors: Butchart Ronald E.
Published: May 2024

Enough time has passed now for the ballyhoo and hype surrounding Steven Spielberg's film "Amistad" to have died down. Within the first few months of the film's release, much was written about it and the historical incident that it describes, particularly in the popular press. Most reviews were laudatory. As film, there was much to praise. Historians were more cautious in their responses.
My intention here is to offer a cautionary retrospective, looking at the film from the perspective of the history classroom. There are, in fact, two artifacts to examine: the film itself and a film study guide, Amistad: A Lasting Legacy, produced jointly by Dream Works and a private curriculum writer.  Together, those artifacts reveal much about the intentions of Dream Works.
Haigh, Elizabeth I
Authors: Blackey Robert
Published: May 2024

If Elizabeth I is on your mind, avoid the unfortunate 1998 film bearing her name and direct your attention to this readable assessment of how she exercised power. Haigh's approach is to explore Gloriana's relationship with the people who orbited around her and to key political institutions, including the official Church, the nobility, her Privy Council, the Court, Parliament, the military, and her subjects. In the process, he reveals the means by which Elizabeth survived as a ruler, especially as a female ruler. We also learn about the woman behind the mask of royalty who concentrated her energies not on analyzing and solving national problems but on surviving. Haigh's is an insightful, sometimes critical study of England's greatest icon since King Arthur.
Blanning, The French Revolution - Class War Or Culture Clash?
Authors: Harsin Jill
Published: May 2024

T.C.W. Blanning's The French Revolution: Aristocrats versus Bourgeois? first appeared in 1987. In his second edition, the subtitle has been changed to Class War or Culture Clash? The difference shows the dramatic evolution in French Revolution and Ancien Regime scholarship over the course of the past decade. Fortunately the excellence of Blanning's survey has not changed, nor has its usefulness for the college classroom.
Gill, Stalinism; Mccauley, Gorbachev
Authors: Wilcoxson Elizabeth
Published: May 2024

These two books examine the history of the Soviet Union/Russia over the last half-century. Their approach is quite different, however. While Graeme Gill in Stalinism attempts to study a phenomenon, Martin McCauley focuses his attention on a personality. Thus, it is difficult to assess the books in a comparative manner.
Stalinism appears here in its second edition. The author indicates that he has not changed the arguments that were presented in the earlier volume. In fact, new archival information has been provided to support those arguments. He has added a chapter, however, and updated the bibliography to include material that was not available at the time of the first edition.
Simpson, Ed., Think Anew, Act Anew - Abraham Lincoln On Slavery, Freedom, And Union
Authors: Davis Michael
Published: May 2024

Just as the Lincoln Memorial continues to inspire Americans even today, so do the words and writings of the "Great Emancipator" himself. It should be no surprise then that numerous compilations of Abraham Lincoln's writings exist. They range from the famous comprehensive edition of Roy P. Basler and his associates to numerous selections in various editions, most of which offer glimpses into Lincoln's public as well as private life. But this new volume, Think Anew, Act Anew: Abraham Lincoln on Slavery, Freedom, and Union, focuses on the interrelated themes of slavery, union, emancipation, and reconstruction, issues that give Lincoln his claim to fame.

Проведений аналіз основних публікацій та досліджень в області розвитку систем супутникового зв’язку спеціального призначення показав, що на сьогодні є ряд наукових праць, монографій та інших видань щодо аналізу існуючої системи супутникового зв’язку ЗС України, провідних країн світу та країн членів НАТО, проте дані роботи не враховують досвіду ведення війни в сучасних умовах з російською федерацією та досягнень новітніх технологій. Враховуючи зазначене, у статті проводиться аналіз ефективності функціонування системи, вказується на вплив засобів РЕБ противника на систему супутникового зв’язку ЗС України під час відсічі збройної агресії та визначаються напрямки розвитку військової системи супутникового зв’язку на ближню та подальшу перспективи. В роботі розробляється та пропонується нова модель перспективної системи супутникового зв’язку та передачі даних ЗС України, яка базується на оренді потоків (каналів) у основних: геостаціонарної, низько- та середньої навколоземних орбітах з використанням переносних станцій. Дані підсистеми повинні забезпечувати: високий та стабільний рівень сигналу над Україною; широкий спектр використовуваних частот; необхідну якість і швидкість передачі даних як на місці так і в русі; розвід- та завадозахищений супутниковий зв’язок з використанням новітніх інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій. В той же час необхідно, щоб перспективна модель системи функціонувала у складі інтегрованої електронної комунікаційної мережі ЗС України та взаємодіяла з компонентами об’єднаної системи зв’язку НАТО.
Examining the Content of Disaster-Related Information Disseminated to a Migrant Population
Authors: Aikawa Maho , Akiyoshi Koto
Published: May 2024

Many local governments, especially in Japan, disseminate multilingual disaster-related information to migrants as part of their disaster education programs to make their disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies more inclusive. However, little is known about the specific content of the information disseminated through such programs and how or why that content is selected. Using an example case of Okayama Prefecture in Japan and its principal city, Okayama City, the current study identifies the content of multilingual disaster-related information, as well as the assumptions behind its selection. To this end, the content of multilingual disaster-related information disseminated by these local governments was inductively analyzed, focusing on (1) what is and is not communicated, (2) how the government views the migrant population, and (3) their goals of information dissemination targeting migrants. As a result of conducting a qualitative content analysis on information disseminated by the Okayama local governments via information booklets and a YouTube video, it was found that the content was largely concerned with calling migrants to be proactive in taking preventive and harm reduction measures, as well as acquiring prerequisite knowledge (e.g., about disasters and their management). The underlying assumptions and expectations behind this content (e.g., how a behavioral change occurs and self-sufficiency as an expectation in disaster preparedness) are discussed, as well as issues associated with these assumptions.

Background: The use of anthropometric parameter is one of the new and low-cost diagnostic methods of detection of metabolic syndrome.
Aims and objectives: The objective of the present study was to examine the predictive power of many anthropometric parameters as an accurate predictor for MS in postmenopausal women.
Material and Methods: This cross sectional study involved 199 postmenopausal women. Six anthropometric parameters : Waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist to hip ratio (WHR), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) were measured and calculated. Metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined according to the criteria of NCEP-ATP III. The women were devided into two groups based on presence or absence of metabolic syndrome. Comparisons of clinical and metabolic characteristics were performed between the groups. To analyze the correlation of anthropometric parameters with MS Spearmann test was used. The cut-off points, area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of parameters were determined using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC).
Results: The prevalence of MS in postmenopausal women was 74.4%. Visceral adiposity index (VAI), Lipid accumulation product (LAP), waist circumference (WC), Body mass index (BMI) and waist to height ratio (WHtR) were significantly higher in women with MS. Among the anthropometric parameters assessed mainly VAI and LAP showed a significant correlation with the majority of MS criteria. Through ROC curves VAI, LAP and WC presented higher AUC being the cut- off points followed :0.85, 0.83 and 0.75 respectively. This study has shown the postmenopausal women had a high prevalence of MS and VAI and LAP regarded as most sensitive and specific predictors for MS in post menopausal women.

Background: Psoriasis is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disease where serum cytokines are marked as prime drivers of disease progression and severity. Objectives: To investigate serum TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-23 level according to disease severity of psoriasis.
Methods: A total of 35 psoriasis patients and 35 healthy controls were enrolled. Disease severity of psoriatic patients was assessed by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scoring. Serum TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-23 of study subjects were measured by ELISA.
Results: Serum level of is significantly increased in psoriasis patients than healthy controls. Among 35 patient 56.7% were suffering from moderate to severe psoriasis. Serum TNF-α level was more in mild group (P =0.70) and serum IL-23 level increased in moderate to severe psoriasis (P=0.42). Whereas serum IL-17 level significantly increased along with disease severity (P=0.03).
Conclusion: Our study underscores the role of TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-23 in disease severity of psoriasis.

The patient who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy operation suffers from obstructive jaundice sometimes. Due to lack of bile in intestine these patients have difficulty in absorption of fat soluble vitamin A, D, E and K. Vitamin D has an important role in maintenance of our immune system. So patients who have low serum vitamin D level suffer from infection more than those with normal level in postoperative period. This study aims to identify vitamin D deficiency among patients suffering from obstructive jaundice and see whether they suffers more postoperative infection and hospital stay. In this observational study 13 patients were enrolled after considering the exclusion and inclusion criteria who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy operation but have low vitamin D level in the department of Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic and Liver transplant Surgery for one year period. Another 13 patients were selected who has normal vitamin D level. They were leveled into two groups. Group one had normal vitamin D level and group two have low vitamin D level. After operation superficial surgical site infection, deep surgical site infection, pneumonia, bile leak, pancreatic fistula, hospital stay were recorded. CRP level were measured on 3rd, 5th and 7th POD. Data analysis to calculate the significance between two groups were done by using SPSS version 23. P value was regarded significant if <0.05. Postoperative infection is significantly lower in normal vitamin D level group. Postoperative CRP level was same on early postoperative period in all patients but in vitamin D normal group CRP level decreases faster. Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in normal vitamin D level group due to less postoperative infection. In conclusion we can say that obstructive jaundiced patient with below normal Vitamin D level prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery have more postoperative infective complications and thus have more hospital stay.

Background: Worldwide sexual violence in children is a common burning problem irrespective of culture and geographical location. Awareness and temptation status among the victims may signify and influence the establishment of sexual violence. This study was conducted to explore awareness of sexual violence, status of temptation and consent among children experiencing sexual violence with their clinical profile.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 106 victimized children attending the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology and One-stop Crisis Center of Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka Bangladesh between June 2019 and March 2020. Sexual violence, status of awareness and temptation were assessed depending on operational definition. Physical examination was also done. Results for numerical data was expressed as mean ± SD, while categorical was expressed as frequency (number) and percentage (%).
Results: Age of the victims was 13.55±4.03 years who were mostly students (68.9%) and resided in urban areas (74.5%). Only 67% female children had awareness of sexual violence. Among the affected victims, 48.1% had given consent and 51.9% were tempted. Most of the sexual violence was carried out by lover (43%) and neighbour (39%). More than three-fourth (78.3%) of the sexual violence occurred at house and during day time (62.3%). Almost one-third victims (34%) had previous sexual experience. Time elapsed between occurrence of violence and physical examination ranged from 2-60 days. Among the female victims, more than 70% had developed breast, while pubic hair was grown in 77.5%. None of the male victim either developed moustache or pubic hair.
Conclusion: Lack of awareness is an important factor for occurrence of sexual violence. Temptation also plays a major role in affirming consent to establish a sexual violence. Awareness development in children is essential to prevent sexual violence.

Kondisi Ruang Terbuka di lingkungan sekolah yang belum mendukung fungsi edukasi dan sosial bagi siswa menjadi kendala untuk mewujudkan pendidikan lingkungan yang terintegrasi dengan kegiatan intrakurikuler sekolah. Program PKM bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi berupa optimasi penggunaan RT sekolah melalui community garden sebagai media pembelajaran siswa terhadap lingkungan yang terintegrasi dengan intrakurikuler sekolah. Adapun metode pelaksanaan PKM terbagi menjadi tiga tahapan, yaitu (1) Melakukan perencanaan analisis kebutuhan; (2) Mengimplementasikan program optimasi penggunaan melalui kebun komunitas sebagai media pembelajaran yang terintegrasi dengan intrakurikuler sekolah; dan (3) melakukan monitoring terhadap program PKM serta melakukan penyuluhan terkait kebun komunitas. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa RT dapat dioptimalkan melalui kebun komunitas, juga sebagai media pembelajaran siswa terhadap lingkungan. Pelaksanaan PKM ini diharapkan dapat mendukung terciptanya pendidikan lingkungan yang terintegrasi dengan kegiatan intrakurikuler sekolah dan mewujudkan lingkungan sekolah yang berkualitas serta sebagai pondasi untuk menciptakan generasi yang peduli lingkungan.
