Analysis of the text of the Qur'an in the light of historical data
Authors:   Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary, Polokhov Dmitry
Published: August 2024

Referring to the assumption of some Islamic authors about the scientific and historical significance of the Quran, this article analyzes the episodes of the Quran that claim to be a reliable presentation of historical events. As an example, a description of the use of execution by crucifiXion in Egypt in the time of Joseph was chosen, as well as a description of the presence of a Samaritan in the episode of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The text presents scientific (historical, cultural and textual) criticism, as well as facts that refute the correspondence of the named Qur'anic episodes to historical reality. At the same time, the Koranic image of the world is opposed to the biblical one. The biblical narrative in these episodes is more logical and fits the historical context. The positions of Islamic scholars are also analyzed, who in various ways seek to level the contradictions of the text of the Koran with historical reality.
Letter to Avitus by St. Jerome of Stridon and Epistle to Menas by Emperor Justinian the Great as material for identifying the structure of the first book of "On First Principles" by Origen
Authors:   Moscow Theological Academy, Maksimov Sergey
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes the quotations from Origen's «On First Principles» cited in the Letter to Avitus by St. Jerome of Stridon and the Epistle to Menas by Emperor Justinian the Great. The conclusions of previous studies concerning the study of the problem of the reliability of the Latin translations of Origen's «On First Principles» by Rufinus and St. Jerome are summarized. The author of the article offers a number of clarifications regarding the assessment of the reliability of Latin translations of the treatise. An attempt is made to compare the quotations from the two anti-Origenist sources with the text of the first book of the Latin translation of Rufinus of Aquileia. A hypothetical reconstruction of the original text is proposed for some places in the first book of the treatise. The sequence of the material presented in the Latin translation of Rufinus is compared with the order of the Letter to Avitus by St. Jerome of Stridon. On the basis of this comparison, as well as the content of the Epistle to Mina by Justinian the Great, an attempt is made to clarify the author's structure of the first book of the work. Based on the sequence of material presented in the texts of St. Jerome and Justinian, an attempt is made to clarify the authorial structure of the work.
Anthropological foundations of transhumanism in the light of the Orthodox teaching about human
Authors:   Saint Tikhon's Orthodox University for the Humanities, Kornev Sergey
Published: August 2024

The article reveals the anthropological and ethical foundations of transhumanism as the doctrine of overcoming suffering by technical means. It is noted that the basis of the anthropology of transhumanism is the functional understanding of man, in which the body is thought of as one of the functions that can and should be modified in order to improve human nature. The fundamental incompatibility of transhumanistic anthropology and the OrthodoX teaching about man, which is characterized by the recognition of the ontological unity of soul and body and the unconditional value of the latter, is shown. The transhumanistic concept of getting rid of suffering is compared with the OrthodoX understanding of the essence of sorrows, diseases and sufferings. It is emphasized that suffering can only be considered as a relative evil in the context of the purpose of human life, that is, salvation. An attempt is made to determine the criteria for the admissibility of transhumanistic practices. The conclusion is made that it is impossible for Orthodoxy to have a dialogue with transhumanism without transhumanists reconsidering the doctrine of man.
The fate of the Gregorian bishop: Metropolitan Vissarion (Zornin) (based on the materials of the archival investigative case)
Authors: Lavrinov Valery
Published: August 2024

One of the structures into which the Russian Orthodox Church split up in the 1920s was the Provisional Supreme Church Council, nowadays commonly referred to as the Gregorian Schism, which is equated with Renovationism. In our opinion, such an approach is not entirely objective, and the VVC can rather be attributed to the right-wing opposition to Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky), along with the Josephites, "true OrthodoX Christians" and "non-remembering". Founded in 1925, this movement existed for about 12 years and in 1937 was defeated by the state security agencies, which was accompanied by the physical destruction of the vast majority of its figures. The pretext for this was a case fabricated by the chekists about the so-called "All-Union Anti-Soviet Church Organization", allegedly headed by the head of the Moscow Patriarchate, Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky), the head of the Renovationist Church, Metropolitan Vitaly (Vvedensky) and the chairman of the Supreme Church Council, Metropolitan Vissarion (Zornin). At the same time, the first two of the listed figures were not subjected to repression — presumably due to the fact that the chekists had other plans for them. The VCU was significantly inferior to them in terms of the number of supporters, and, obviously, the "authorities" recognized that its further use in the internal church struggle was inappropriate. For the entire period of the existence of the VVCC/VCC, it was headed by only two people: Metropolitans Grigory (Yatsovsky) (1925–1932) and Vissarion (Zornin) (1934–1937), and the second of them is relatively little known. Interesting information about him is contained in the investigative case of 1937, now located in the Central Archive of the FSB of Russia, the materials of which have not been published anywhere until now. This work, in particular, contains the full text of a very voluminous protocol of the bishop's interrogation from this case, dated October 20, 1937. Metropolitan Vissarion (Zornin) was shot on November 25, 1937, on the basis of a resolution of the Troika of the NKVD in the Moscow region. To date, his life and work should be recognized as worthy of further study by historians.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the differences in the concept of borrowing from Imam Shafi'i, Imam Hambali and Imam al-Ghazali. This research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The data collection method is in the form of literature study. The results of the study show that in Islam there is a concept of loan where in the Islamic world the concept of loan is also known as Qardh which is basically a loan from someone to another party with the aim of helping him. Based on the opinions of 4 mazhab, including the Shafi'i and Hambali mazhab, the concept of borrowing, also known as qardh, is permissible for a Muslim to do and forbids a Muslim from taking advantage of practices that are considered usury. Meanwhile, from Imam Al Ghazali's point of view, the concept of loan can be seen from the idea of qardh al-hasan, namely a loan transaction which in practice is the fulfillment of a moral obligation, especially as a Muslim, and no financial reward is claimed for it.

The conclusion of this study shows that mathematical puzzles are an effective learning medium to increase students' interest, motivation, and understanding in trigonometry learning. It is hoped that mathematics teachers can integrate mathematical puzzles into the learning process to create a more engaging and effective learning environment.
Non‐index hospital re‐admissions after hospitalisation with acute myocardial infarction and geographic remoteness, New South Wales, 2005–2020: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Shawon Md Shajedur Rahman , Yu Jennifer , Sedrakyan Art , Ooi Sze‐Yuan , Jorm Louisa
Published: August 2024

Objectives

To examine the frequency of re‐admissions to non‐index hospitals (hospitals other than the initial discharging hospital) within 30 days of admission with acute myocardial infarction in New South Wales; to examine the relationship between non‐index hospital re‐admissions and 30‐day mortality.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study; analysis of hospital admissions (Admitted Patient Data Collection) and mortality data (Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages).

Setting, participants

Adults admitted to NSW hospitals with acute myocardial infarction re‐admitted to any hospital within 30 days of discharge from the initial hospitalisation, 1 January 2005 – 31 December 2020.

Main outcome measures

Proportion of re‐admissions within 30 days of discharge to non‐index hospitals, and associations of non‐index hospital re‐admissions with demographic and initial hospitalisation characteristics and with 30‐day and 12‐month mortality, each by residential remoteness category.

Results

Of 168 097 people with acute myocardial infarction discharged alive, 28 309 (16.8%) were re‐admitted to hospital within 30 days of discharge, including 11 986 to non‐index hospitals (42.3%); the proportion was larger for people from regional or remote areas (50.1%) than for people from major cities (38.3%). The odds of non‐index hospital re‐admission were higher for people with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction, for people whose index admissions were to private hospitals, who were transferred between hospitals or had undergone revascularisation during the initial admission, were under 65 years of age, or had private health insurance; the influence of these factors was generally larger for people from regional or remote areas than for those from large cities. After adjustment for potential confounders, non‐index hospital re‐admission did not influence mortality among people from major cities (30‐day: adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99–1.20; 12‐month: aOR, 0.98, 95% CI, 0.93–1.03), but was associated with reduced mortality for people from regional or remote areas (30‐day: aOR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.70–0.95; 12‐month: aOR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.81–0.96).

Conclusions

The geographically dispersed Australian population and the mixed public and private provision of specialist services means that re‐admission to a non‐index hospital can be unavoidable for people with acute myocardial infarction who are initially transferred to specialised facilities. Non‐index hospital re‐admission is associated with better mortality outcomes for people from regional or remote areas.

EL NO ACCESO A LOS DERECHOS Y SERVICIOS DEL ESTADO. APLICACIONES DEL CONCEPTO EN LAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EN CHILE
Authors: Lucero Bravo Francisco Javier , Marchant Rubilar Patricio Ignacio , Muñoz Núñez Francisca Edith
Published: August 2024

En la actualidad el no acceso a los derechos y servicios del Estado es un aspecto ignorado por el análisis de las políticas públicas. Esta problemática surge debido a la inexistencia de datos sobre la magnitud y caracterización de ciudadanos que no reciben recursos ni beneficios estatales por múltiples razones. Las implicancias de prescindir de los servicios del Estado trascienden las diferentes fases del ciclo de vida de las políticas públicas y de ahí su enorme relevancia. Entre los motivos que explican el «no acceso» a servicios y derechos del Estado se destacan tres categorías principales: desconocimiento, falta de demanda —por decisión o constricción— y falta de recepción. El objetivo de este artículo es divulgar la literatura que aborda este fenómeno y comparar su marco conceptual con algunas políticas públicas nacionales. Si bien este trabajo constituye una aproximación inicial a la problemática del «no acceso», se enfatiza permanentemente la necesidad de profundizar en su estudio considerando perspectivas sociopolíticas, marcos institucionales e imaginarios culturales con el objetivo de implementar una política pública más eficiente y que vaya acorde a las necesidades de la población. La elección de casos y ejemplos prácticos responde tanto a un criterio de accesibilidad de la información como a diversificación de categorías teórico-conceptuales y su contraste con procedimientos específicos y contingentes como lo son los electorales asociados al proceso constituyente, las becas ANID de capital humano avanzado y el fondo «Crece» del Servicio de Cooperación Técnica –SERCOTEC– en los cuales se identifican distintas causas de no acceso.

El MERCOSUR ante la desaceleración del comercio intrarregional y las dinámicas de desintegración: análisis y perspectivas actuales en clave autonomista
Authors: Barcelo Nastasia , Barrenengoa Amanda
Published: August 2024

En el presente artículo nos proponemos analizar el binomio integración regional y comercio intrarregional en la región -América del Sur- en perspectiva autonomista. Para ello, se aborda la evolución del comercio -en la última década- del MERCOSUR en su conjunto con el resto de los países sudamericanos y con China. El desarrollo del artículo da cuenta del proceso de la desintegración y del aumento de la dependencia y la primarización de las economías de los países mercosureños. Aspectos que, si bien se acentuaron en los últimos años, han caracterizado las estructuras económicas de los países del continente y han condicionado el tipo de inserción internacional posible dentro del sistema internacional. Se busca analizar cómo el aumento del comercio intrarregional como dimensión central,- no única pero fundamental- es una vía para fortalecer los procesos de integración en clave de autonomía. Para su consecución, consideramos que en el actual contexto -marcado por los efectos de la pandemia y la crisis generalizada que ésta provocó, junto con la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania- es relevante reflexionar acerca del rol de Brasil en la integración regional; y de China que desde 2009 el principal socio comercial extrarregional. La pregunta problematizadora que guía este análisis es acerca de la posición que la región sudamericana y el bloque del MERCOSUR van a jugar en este nuevo esquema geopolítico.

Published: August 2024

The high number of vulnerabilities in Internet of Things devices has created malware-prone networks. A type of malware that imposes a serious threat to the Internet security is known as botnets. This malware exploits some vulnerabilities of IoT devices to infect them and perform large-scale Distributed Denial of Service attacks, affecting many users who depend on their services. This work presents the construction of an experimental environment to generate a dataset that contains data from a real IoT device that was infected by botnet malware in a laboratory. The dataset can be used to support the development of defence tools for IoT devices to identify botnets, as it contains network traffic and host-based features, such as, CPU and memory usage. The dataset and network environment files are available for the research community.
One-class Classification to Detect Botnets in IoT devices

Published: August 2024

With the increasing number of different Internet of Things devices, new threats to network security emerge due to these devices' low security. Botnets are a widespread threat that takes advantage of IoT devices vulnerabilities to compromise multiple devices and perform coordinated attacks. To tackle this, new methods addressing IoT botnets detection are required. In this paper, we propose a host-based detection system based on one-class classifiers. It was used a One-class Support Vector Machine built with features such as CPU and memory usage to detect malicious activities. The predictive performance and resource consumption of the proposed approach was evaluated in a controlled network using three different legitimate settings and seven IoT botnets. The results indicate that the proposed system is efficient in detecting different botnets with low resource consumption.
Biometric patterns recognition using keystroke dynamics
Authors: Ferreira Jefferson L. S. , Amorim Mardson F. , Altafim Ruy A. P.
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to describe a strategy for biometric authentication embedded system that uses keystroke dynamics to recognize the users. The main motivation of this work is a gap identified on the biometric authentication devices market that demonstrates the lack of a low cost and high efficiency product. Therefore, the use of low cost microcontrollers coupled with a good biometric authentication strategy could fill this gap. The PIC and ESP microcontrollers were used to create a prototype with the purpose of performing measurements and generating users' biometric models. During these measurements 9 volunteers had their typing characteristics extracted and stored. After data collection, several tests were performed and values of 36% for FRR and 7.2% for FAR were found. More expensive results can still be achieved by modifying some punctualities in data collection, as commented at the end of the paper.
Hardware-Assisted Application Misbehavior Detection
Authors: Botacin Marcus , Grégio André , Geus Paulo Lício de
Published: August 2024

Programming is an error-prone task, which may result in application misbehavior. From the safety point of view, crashes are undesirable as they affect user experience, whereas from the security point of view, vulnerability exploitation can lead to security violations. Although fuzzing and other testing techniques help to minimize undesirable events, they do not eliminate them. As an additional “protection” layer, real-time monitoring can help in handling cases of previously unaddressed violations. However, approaches like Control Flow Integrity (CFI) are too specific to be extended to the general case. To overcome this challenge, we propose a hardware-assisted flow learning technique able to profile and detect deviations from the standard behavior, thus ensuring proper application execution.
An Adaptive Anti-DDoS System for IP Service Provider Backbones
Authors: Rodrigues Alberto Savio Figueira , Santos Fabio , Araujo Marcos , Fernandes Natalia Castro
Published: August 2024

This article presents an adaptive anti-DDoS system based on SDN for IP service providers' backbones. We analyzed requirements and solutions used on current IP backbones in order to manage different anti-DDoS systems to mitigate attacks to customers or to the backbone itself. The base of our proposal is a controller that synchronizes network reaction according to the volume of attacks and the available infrastructure, using a layered protection scheme. This controller dynamically provisions virtual machines and network links based on transit virtual router and forwarding (VRF). The system is able to dynamically reconfigure itself according to attack traffic patterns. As a consequence, our system improves backbone performance and customers quality of experience by reducing the impact of DDoS traffic in a more efficient way than current solutions.
Sündlos solidarisch
Authors: Rehfeld Emmanuel L.
Published: August 2024

Die Frage, wer Jesus ist, beantwortet das Markusevangelium nicht diskursiv, sondern narrativ: Während es mit den komplementären Bezeichnungen »Gottessohn« und »Menschensohn« auf Jesu wahren Ursprung und auf seinen Auftrag verweist, schildert es sein geschichtliches Auftreten als die verborgene Epiphanie des präexistenten Gottessohns. Indem der Evangelist das irdische Dasein Jesu in die göttliche »Metahistorie« einzeichnet, bezeugt er ein realistisches, nicht-doketisches Verständnis des Menschseins Jesu, das zugleich die ontische Differenz zwischen seinem Menschsein und dem Menschsein derer offenlegt, für die zu sterben er kam. Eine eingehende Untersuchung der markinischen Jesusdarstellung ergibt, dass diese soteriologisch fundamentale Differenz in der These von Jesu Sündlosigkeit gipfelt.

Kants Kritik der Vernunft als Theorie der Freiheit
Authors: Recki Birgit
Published: August 2024

Immanuel Kant (*1724) made an epoch with his theory of human freedom. It is not limited to the highly regarded insights, the resilience of which has been proven in the current crises of our society: freedom of will and the safeguarding of political freedom through the law. In his radical critique of reason, Kant also asserts freedom for cognition, knowledge and thinking, above all for the use of one's own intellect. For him, art, technology and the whole of culture are also "products of freedom". The book condenses the prospectus of this theory into the following thesis: Kant's Critique of Reason is all about the forms of freedom that its author recognizes in the potential of human beings.
Adversarial Variational Autoencoders to Extend and Improve Generative Model
Authors: Nguyen Loc , Abdalla Hassan I. , Amer Ali A.
Published: August 2024

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has been advancing with many notable achievements like ChatGPT and Bard. The deep generative model (DGM) is a branch of GenAI, which is preeminent in generating raster data such as image and sound due to the strong role of deep neural networks (DNNs) in inference and recognition. The built-in inference mechanism of DNN, which simulates and aims at synaptic plasticity of the human neuron network, fosters the generation ability of DGM, which produces surprising results with the support of statistical flexibility. Two popular approaches in DGM are the variational autoencoder (VAE) and generative adversarial network (GAN). Both VAE and GAN have their own strong points although they share and imply the underlying theory of statistics as well as significant complex via hidden layers of DNN when DNN becomes effective encoding/decoding functions without concrete specifications. This research unifies VAE and GAN into a consistent and consolidated model called the adversarial variational autoencoder (AVA) in which the VAE and GAN complement each other; for instance, the VAE is a good data generator by encoding data via the excellent ideology of Kullback–Leibler divergence and the GAN is a significantly important method to assess the reliability of data as to whether it is real or fake. In other words, the AVA aims to improve the accuracy of generative models; besides, the AVA extends the function of simple generative models. In methodology, this research focuses on the combination of applied mathematical concepts and skillful techniques of computer programming in order to implement and solve complicated problems as simply as possible.

Published: August 2024

After rice and wheat, potato is the third most important food crop for human consumption. In Europe and several parts of America, potato is consumed predominantly. Like other vegetable crops, potato is prone to several biotic and abiotic stresses and due to climate change, such stresses are getting worse and affecting the yield and quality of harvested product. Both conventional breeding and transgenic approaches are being utilized to enhance the crop production by protecting the crop for different biotic and abiotic stresses. Genome editing technologies such as ZFNs and TALENs were earlier utilized for crop improvement. But recently, RNA-guided nuclease called CRISPR technology is in use for crop improvement. In potato, CRISPR/Cas is utilized for phenotyping, tuber quality, late blight resistance, potato virus Y resistance, herbicide tolerance, starch quality and biosynthesis, enzymatic browning, phosphate transport to roots and several other desirable traits. In this chapter, we summarize the information about major genome editing approaches and use of CRISPR/Cas in potato genome editing.

This chapter aims to determine the impact of advertising effectiveness via mobile social network service (SNS) on consumer engagement. It also focuses on the treatment of the hypothetical relationship between advertising effectiveness and the behavioral intentions of online consumers. In this chapter, we will try to better understand the general concepts, namely mobile marketing, its tools, and its strategic implications. While relying on a theoretical framework, we will seek to study the direct links that exist between mobile marketing, mobile social media, mobile social networks, and social network services (SNS). A quantitative study was conducted on 430 Tunisian online consumers in the North African context who frequently use their mobile phones. The method of structural equations based on the AMOS approach was deployed for data analysis. The results reveal that the effectiveness of mobile advertising via social network services (SNS) positively affects consumer engagement. The results show that an effective advertising message transmitted via social networks has no effect on the purchase intentions of online consumers. This research fills the gap in the literature by examining the simultaneous impact of the effectiveness of advertising via social networks on brand equity and purchase intentions in a North African context that is still very rare.

Background: In mood disorders, disturbance in balance control and walking is a main motor symptom. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of ten weeks of dual-task training on balance and gait speed under dual-task conditions in bipolar patients. Methods: Thirty male patients (age mean 43.13 ± 8.91) with bipolar disorder living in Urmia Psychiatric Center were assigned to the control group and the dual task training group. Dual-task training with moderate intensity, including 20 sessions, 2/week, per 75 min. To detect the changes in the balance and the gait speed, a timed up and go Test (TUG) under dual task conditions and a 10-m walking course under dual task conditions were administered before and after the exercise protocol. It was analyzed using analysis of covariance test. Results: The findings showed that the two groups had significant differences in TUG under motor dual task conditions, gait speed under motor dual task conditions, and gait speed under cognitive dual task conditions (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: Considering the effectiveness of cognitive dual-task training in improving gait speed and functional balance, dual-task training may be a potentially important supplement to conventional treatment in people identified as being at high risk of falling.
