As a result of the research, the tasks of technical protection of information, considered on the objects of informatization are defined and the timeliness of the application is shown for automated information support systems of the activity for the technical protection of information to solve these problems. It is noted that at present, the methodology for creating such systems is practically absent. The authors of research indicate the main approaches to their development, such as the dynamic change in the subject area of information security, the emergence of new information technologies, rapid changes in system and application software, the expansion of the range of information security threats, changes in the regulatory framework, etc. The composition and structure of the system of models and methodologies are proposed necessary for the design of these information support systems, their development, production, delivery and operation. Particular indicators are proposed to assess the completeness, reliability, timeliness (relevance) and information security necessary to ensure the activities to solve the problems of technical protection of information and complex indicator to assess the efficiency of information support for this activity. The interdependence of complex and particular indicators is shown by convolution of particular indicators using the linear function and the Cobb-Douglas function. Examples of calculating the complex indicator are given. The proposed indicators and models for their calculation will define quantitative requirements for the composition and structure of promising information support systems, as well as for the completeness, reliability, timeliness and security of the information provided by them, which is necessary for organizing the technical protection of information in domestic information systems.

Feasibility and Convergent Validity of an Activity Tracker for Low Back Pain Within a Clinical Study: Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Zhuo Linda Xiaoqian , Macedo Luciana Gazzi
Published: March 2021

Background

Low back pain (LBP) is a highly prevalent condition affecting individuals of all ages. To manage the symptoms and prevent recurrences and flare-ups, physical activity in conjunction with self-management education is recommended. Tools such as diaries and questionnaires have been the gold standard for tracking physical activity in clinical studies. However, there are issues with consistency, accuracy, and recall with the use of these outcome measures. Given the growth of technology in today’s society, consumer-grade activity monitors have become a common and convenient method of recording physical activity data.

Objective

The aim of this study is to test the feasibility and convergent validity of a Garmin Vivofit 3 activity tracker in evaluating physical activity levels in a clinical trial of patients with LBP.

Methods

We recruited 17 individuals with nonspecific LBP referred from health care professionals or self-referred through advertisements in the community. The participants entered into a 12-week physical activity and self-management program. Physical activity was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire and the Garmin activity tracker. Activity tracker data (eg, steps taken, distance walked, and intensity minutes) were extracted weekly from the Garmin Connect online platform. Outcomes of pain and activity limitation were assessed weekly using a mobile app. A linear regression was conducted to evaluate if demographic factors (ie, age, gender, pain level) affected the adherence rates to the activity monitor. We also used Pearson correlations to evaluate the convergent validity of the Garmin activity tracker with the physical activity questionnaire.

Results

The mean daily adherence rate for activity monitors was 70% (SD 31%) over the 26 weeks of study. The mean response rate for the weekly physical activity measures using REDCap for the first 12 weeks of the study was 91% (SD 17%). None of the hypothesized variables or questionnaires were predictors of response rate.

Conclusions

The majority of participants were compliant with wearing the tracker, and demographic factors were not found to be predictors of adherence to wearing the device. However, there were poor correlations between the modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the activity monitor, demonstrating problems with convergent validity.
Significados locais da colonização interna no norte mato-grossense
Authors: Almeida Luciana Schleder
Published: March 2021

A consolidação do meio-norte do Mato Grosso como área destacada na produção de soja foi consequência da política de “modernização da agricultura” promovida pelo regime militar nos anos 1970. A rápida transformação da paisagem florestal em lavouras ocorreu como parte de um programa oficial de colonização que arregimentou boa parte de seus agentes em “áreas coloniais” do sul do Brasil habitadas por imigrantes europeus desde o início do século XIX. A análise está baseada em um estudo etnográfico sobre famílias de colonos de trajetórias ascendentes que reivindicam para si o protagonismo na fundação de uma “nova sociedade” na fronteira. O objetivo do artigo é problematizar categorias relacionadas à honra pioneira e sua relação com formas de classificação por origem ou identidade regional: “gaúcho”, “cuiabano” e “maranhense”. O conteúdo etnográfico demonstra como as formas locais de hierarquização social mobilizam princípios da colonialidade do poder que estrutura historicamente o projeto de sociedade nacional.

Authors: Castro Cardoso Marcelia , Alves Helionora da Silva , Almeida Vieira Thiago
Published: March 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma caracterização socioeconomica e identificar os principais impactos socioambientais a partir da percepção de moradores e pescadores artesanais locais de uma comunidade ribeirinha que vive no entorno do Lago do Juá, localizado em Santarém, Pará, Brasil. Para isso, realizou-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com informantes-chave e os dados foram submetidos a análise descritiva dos elementos textuais. Segundo os entrevistados, entre os anos de 1950 e 2000, o lago foi restrito ao turismo, ao lazer e as pesca de subsistência. Mas, com o processo de expansão urbana, o mesmo tem sofrido impactos como desmatamento, assoreamento, alteração da qualidade da água, entre outros. A maioria dos entrevistados informou que a retirada da cobertura vegetal impactou diretamente no lago, causando alterações nos aspectos estéticos da água, além da redução na disponibilidade de peixes. Informaram ainda, que os empreendimentos imobiliários e as ocupações desordenadas nas adjacências contribuíram para degradação do lago, além de afetarem na perda de tranquilidade da comunidade. Portanto, entende-se que o Lago do Juá é constituído por complexas relações socioambientais e a ineficácia das políticas públicas têm contribuído para que processos contínuos de ocupação e uso causem modificações abruptas dos espaços naturais.

Com base em um argumento socioambiental é relevante compreender que a questão do excesso de água no Vale do Itajaí e no município de Aracaju apresenta um indicador significativo de vulnerabilidade resultante dos deslizamentos, cheias e alagamentos em áreas de ocupação irregular. Objetivou-se discutir a problemática das condições de vulnerabilidades à ocupação urbana nos cenários de Blumenau (SC) e Aracaju (SE), respectivamente, regiões Sul e no Nordeste do Brasil, sob a perspectiva socioambiental. A metodologia contemplou múltiplos procedimentos e técnicas, desde o estudo acerca do Vale do Itajaí que envolve visitas técnicas, mapeamento e levantamento de dados qualitativos, até a pesquisa sobre o litoral de Sergipe que envolveu a avaliação do risco a partir da análise da ocupação da frente litorânea, ambas buscando uma avaliação geoecológica da paisagem, em que foram analisadas a composição, a estruturação, a evolução e a função exercida pelas unidades delimitadas. Os principais resultados apontam para argumentos os quais enfatizam que com o crescente aumento da população urbana nessas áreas, é importante incorporar o conhecimento dos riscos e vulnerabilidades a que os habitantes estão sujeitos. Medidas de mitigação e adaptação a estes riscos que aumentem a resiliência da população são evidentemente necessárias e precisam ser incluídas no planejamento e na gestão das cidades. Conclui-se que estas medidas necessitam reforçar a legitimidade nos processos de governança por meio da participação social.

Published: March 2021

Objective: Surgical closure of ventricular septal defect is still the
most common pediatric cardiac surgical procedure. The aim of this study
was to define the risk factors of the complications of ventricular
septal defect surgery. Methods: We evaluated the preoperative,
perioperative, and postoperative data from echocardiography reports,
perfusion reports, and clinical, inpatient, and operative notes of all
the patients. The following were the outcome variables for this study:
in-hospital death; duration of mechanical ventilation in hours; duration
of pediatric intensive care unit stay in days; and duration of hospital
stay in days. Herein, we report our single pediatric cardiac center
experience between October 2015 and October 2018. Results: A total of
108 patients underwent surgical ventricular septal defect closure during
the study period. Prolonged pediatric intensive care unit stay, hospital
stay and mechanical ventilation time was associated with younger age and
low weight. The patients with genetic syndromes had statistically longer
mechanical ventilation time (p < 0.001), pediatric intensive
care unit stay (p < 0.001), and hospital stay (p = 0.002).
Conclusion: Although genetic syndromes did not affect the complication
rates, it affected the lengths of hospital and pediatric intensive care
unit stays and mechanical ventilation duration. Young age and lower body
weight was a risk factor of prolonged hospitalization, prolonged
pediatric intensive care unit stay and prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Therefore, these situations should be considered in the postoperative
follow-up of patients with ventricular septal defect.
Role of Anticoagulation in the Management of Tumor Thrombus: A 10 year single center experience
Authors: Agarwal Shreya , Mullikin Dolores , Smith Valeria , Scheurer Michael , Naik-Mathuria Bindi , Guillerman Paul , Foster Jennifer , Diaz Rosa , Sartain Sarah
Published: March 2021

Background: Children with cancer diagnosis are overall at a higher risk
of thrombosis. For a newly diagnosed bland thrombus, patients are
commonly started on anticoagulants to prevent further extension and
embolization of the clot. In the rare instance that a pediatric patient
has a tumor thrombus, the role of anticoagulation is less clear.
Procedure/Methods: Patients under 21 years of age with a finding of
tumor thrombus on imaging from 2010-2020 at Texas Children’s Hospital
were identified and their medical records were reviewed. Results: A
total of 50 patients were identified. Most thrombi were incidental
findings at diagnosis; however, there were two patients who presented
with pulmonary embolism (PE). Inferior Vena Cava extension was noted in
36% of the patients and 24% patients had an intracardiac tumor
thrombus. Hepatoblastoma (26%) was the most common malignancy
associated with tumor thrombus. Anticoagulation was initiated in 10
patients (20%). Only 2 of these 10 patients showed response to
anticoagulation. However, 40% (4/10) patients in the anticoagulation
cohort were noted to have bleeding complications (p <.05).
Conclusion: Children with intravascular extension of solid tumors were
not commonly started on anticoagulation at the time of diagnosis,
irrespective of the extent of tumor thrombus. Furthermore, we observed a
significant trend toward higher incidence of bleeding complications
after initiation of anticoagulation. There is inadequate evidence at
this time to support routine initiation of anticoagulation in pediatric
patients with intravascular extension of solid tumors.

Authors: Lee Matthew M. Y. , Ghouri Nazim , McGuire Darren K. , Rutter Martin K. , Sattar Naveed
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND:

Results of cardiovascular
outcome trials (CVOTs) suggest Asians may derive greater benefit than Whites with
newer classes of antihyperglycemic medications.

PURPOSE:

To provide summary
hazard ratio (HR) estimates for cardiovascular efficacy of sodium-glucose
co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide receptor
agonists (GLP-1RA) stratified by race (Asian vs. White).

DATA SOURCES:

A systematic review
performed in PubMed from January 01, 2015 to December 08, 2020.

STUDY SELECTION:

Randomized placebo-controlled
CVOTs of SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs that reported HR (95% CI) for (i) MACE, and (ii)
cardiovascular (CV) death/ and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF).

DATA EXTRACTION AND
SYNTHESIS:

The HR (95% CI) for
selected outcomes in Asians and Whites was extracted from each trial, adhering
to PRISMA guidelines. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed to examine
differences between the selected outcomes in Asians vs. Whites.

RESULTS:

In 5 SGLT2i trials,
the MACE outcome HR (95% CI) in 3,980 Asians vs. 29,007 Whites was 0.81 (0.60, 1.01)
vs. 0.86 (0.76, 0.97), respectively (pinteraction=0.64). In 2 SGLT2i
trials, the CV death/HHF outcome in 1,788 Asians vs. 5,962 Whites was 0.60
(0.47, 0.74) vs. 0.82 (0.73, 0.92), respectively (pinteraction=0.01).
In 6 GLP-1RA trials, the MACE outcome in 4,195 Asians vs. 37,530 Whites was 0.68
(0.53, 0.84) vs. 0.87 (0.81, 0.94), respectively (pinteraction=0.03).

LIMITATIONS:

Lack of individual
patient-level data, relatively short duration of trial observation, and lack of
granular categorization of race with the broadly-defined Asian subgroups.

CONCLUSIONS:

Compared with
Whites, Asians may derive greater HHF/CV death benefit from SGLT2is and MACE
benefit from GLP-1RA.

Evaluation of various natural diets for mass rearing of Spodoptera frugiperda J.E Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the pests that attack corn in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the most suitable diet for rearing of S. frugiperda from various natural diets. The study was conducted in vitro. The treatments were consisted of variation on S. frugiperda natural diets, such as maize leaf, green mustard leaf, water spinach, sweet potato leaf, sugar cane leaf, and soybeans leaf. The observed variables were life cycle period, pupa size, and pupa weight. The results showed that the shortest life cycle period was on corn leaves diet (40.92 days), and the longest was on sugarcane leaves (45.01 days). The longest size of pupa were S. frugiperda on mustard leaves diet (12.86 mm) and corn leaves (12.56 mm), The heaviest pupa weights were observed in S. frugiperda on mustard leaves diet (0.18 mg), and corn leaves (0.16 mg). Based on the data, it could be concluded that corn leaves were the most suitable type of diet for the growth and development of S. frugiperda.

A field survey was conducted during 2019, we found a severe systemic yellow mosaic, striped green mosaic on leaves petiole, green spots on the fruit of papaya, leaf malformation, and stunting symptoms on three papaya cultivation area in Rejang Lebong, Kepahiang, Bengkulu Tengah, and Seluma, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. A begomo-like virus was inferred to be the possible cause of the virus-disease-like symptoms. The study aimed to identify the causal of those typical symptoms on papaya. PCR using universal primer for transcriptional activator protein (TrAp) and replication-associated protein (Rep) gene of Begomovirus successfully amplified the DNA fragments of 900 bp in all 10 detected samples, except for samples with leaf malformation and stunting symptoms. It is indicating that those typical symptoms on papaya is associated with Begomovirus infection, while the causal of leaf malformation and stunting is unknown yet. This work is the first report of Begomovirus infected papaya in Indonesia. Severe disease incidence caused by this pathogen was observed on papaya plants in Bengkulu Province that was in the range of 42–100%. This finding is a precious information to be used for identification, and characterization the species of the virus, determining control strategies against the disease.

Published: March 2021

One of the most essential life skills is to be able to communicate easily. In order to produce greater comprehension, communication is described as transmitting knowledge. Communication and technologies are not mutually exclusive. Speech Recognition is a technique that facilitates the processing of voice information to text and is independent of the speaker. This enables it to be used in various applications, from digital assistants to machinery control. The aim of this paper is to study numerous robotic vehicles powered by human speech commands. To accomplish this functionality, most of these systems run with the use of an android smart phone that transmits voice commands to a raspberry pi. The voice-operated robot is used to build one moving object. It is moved as per the voice recognition module commands, and the robot obtains that command. The robot compares the command with the stored software and then sets the command using wireless communication as per voice. These suggested methods would be useful for devices such as assistive robotics for people with disabilities or automotive applications such as work robots.

Published: March 2021

Cloud computing has an important role in all aspects of storing information and providing services online. It brings several advantages over traditional storing and sharing schema such as an easy access, on-request storage, scalability and decreasing cost. Using its rapidly developing technologies can bring many advantages to the protection of Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) from a variety of cyber-attacks, where IoT, CPS provides facilities to humans in their daily lives. Since malicious software (malware) is increasing exponentially and there is no well-known approach to detecting malware, the usage of cloud environments to detect malware can be a promising method. A new generation of malware is using advanced obfuscation and packing techniques to escape from detection systems. This situation makes almost impossible to detect complex malware by using a traditional detection approach. The paper presents an extensive review of cloud-based malware detection approach and provides a vision to understand the benefit of cloud for protection of IoT, CPS from cyber-attack. This research explains advantages and disadvantages of cloud environments in detecting malware and also proposes a cloud-based malware detection framework, which uses a hybrid approach to detect malware.

In modern microprocessors to reduce the time resources the arithmetic-logic units (ALU) with an increased organization of arithmetic carry, characterized by high speed, compared to ALU with sequential organization of the arithmetic carry, are commonly used. However, while increasing the bit number of the input operands, the operating time of ALU of ALU with the accelerated arithmetic carry increases linearly depending on the number of bits. Therefore, the development of ALU, providing higher performance than the existing known solutions, is an actual task. In this work the analysis of ALU with sequential and accelerated organization of the arithmetic carry has been performed. To increase the speed of the operation, a multi-bit ALU has been developed. The simulation of ALU circuits has been executed in Altera Quartus –II CAD environment. The comparison has been performed by the number of logical elements and the maximum delay as a result of modeling the ALU circuits for 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits. A scheme for checking the results has been implemented to confirm the reliability of developed ALU. As a result, it has been found that when performing operations with the 64-bit operands, the developed ALU reduces the maximum delay by 53 % compared to ALU with sequential arithmetic carry and by 35.5 % compared to ALU with the accelerated arithmetic carry, respectively.

The quadrature modulators and demodulators are widely used to create modern wireless communication systems. It is important to ensure high quality of the transmitted signals in order to have the exchange of information without loss or failure. From the point of view of the spectral decomposition of the signal (Fourier series decomposition), the useful component of the spectrum must be much larger than all other components. The carrier (LO frequency and spurious sideband are the most critical and undesirable quadrature modulator output signal spectral components. In the work, in the course of the research using the methods of suppressing the parasitic components, based on minimizing phase, amplitude and current imbalances in various nodes of the quadrature modulator circuit, have been revealed. In order to realize suppression, the special digital-to-analog converters are used in conjunction with a polyphase filter on varicaps, a phase-shifting block and current sources. The effectiveness of these methods is confirmed by the achievement of suppression of parasitic components in prototypes of 50 dB or more. It has been stated that the phase unbalance minimization is more effective than the amplitude unbalance minimization to sideband suppression. It has been revealed that the use of a phase-shifting block is a more suitable architecture to control the phase unbalance. The obtained results can be useful in the design of high-precision radio frequency units for various purposes.

The present research examines the foreign experience of cooperation between universities and non-profit organizations (NPOs) related to the development of a civil society. A socially responsible University that successfully implements its main missions related to education and research, should also participate in the implementation of the third mission, which is closely connected with the development of a local community. When analyzing the system of interaction between Universities and NGOs, a project approach was used. The project approach is aimed at building social activity and responsibility among citizens which is possible due to interaction between universities and non-profit organizations. The analysis of foreign practice allowed the authors to identify main stakeholders of social networking system and formulate basic principle of the concept of effective partnership between universities and non-profit organizations, as well as suggest some directions and forms of organizing cooperation between a socially responsible university and a local community.

Published: March 2021

Modern society can progressively develop only under the conditions of security, which is ensured in the age of a new “digital” reality. Modern police are forced to adopt the “community policing” model, focused on developing relations with community members and which involves the organization of a dialogue and partnership with population in the system of public law enforcement communications. Diagnostics of this system based on an expert survey of specialists from the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed that, in the context of the uncertainty of a digital society, organization of interaction between the internal affairs bodies and citizens, public associations and the media requires some certain changes. First of all, there should be transformed a new strategic goal from developing a positive image to building a system of relations in a form of a dialogue and partnership. The main problem on this path is the lack of skills of police officers regarding the work in a modern communications system.

Authors:   North Ossetian Institute for Humanitarian  and Social Research, Gadieva Aneta Nikolaevna
Published: March 2021

The paper deals with the problems and conditions for effective development of mountain regions. For Russia, a significant part of which is in mountain areas, this issue is particularly relevant. The Russian region with the largest area of mountain territories and at the same time with the greatest number of social risks that require constant research and monitoring is the North Caucasus. The author analyzes the development of this region taking into account economic, socio-cultural and environmental factors. The special role of the tourism sector, which can become a driver of economic growth, is noted. However, it is possible only in the case of a high level of security, therefore, at present, the tourism industry is poorly developed in the subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the North Caucasian Federal District. It is concluded that it is necessary to adopt relevant legislative act at the federal level in order to comprehensively cover the entire range of problems of Russia’s mountain regions and regulate interregional cooperation on this issue.

The paper discusses the importance of social infrastructure, its role in the quality of life of the population, lists its main objects. The purpose of this work is to analyze the social infrastructure in the field of education in rural areas of the republic. The main part of the work is based on the statistical data review that allow us to judge the coverage of educational services in the region. The analysis showed that in recent years, the number of preschool educational institutions have been increased and their enrolment is positive. However, in rural areas, as for these indicators, they do not demonstrate particular changes; moreover, in some cases educational institutions of the region are reduced in the absence of students.

Autopsychological Mechanism of Auto-Destructive Behavior of Adolescents
Authors:   Russian State Hydrometeorological University, Ipatov Andrei Vladimirovich
Published: March 2021

The paper is devoted to the actual problem of auto-destructive behavior of adolescents. This behavior is not aimed at self-realization, but at self-destruction, degradation, and premature death. Self-awareness contradictions are the driving forces of self-destructive behavior. The author analyzes the characteristics of self-consciousness of adolescents, its inconsistency and ways to resolve these contradictions, regardless of the type of auto-destruction and gender of minors. Through a series of diagnostic studies and statistical procedures, an autopsychological mechanism of self-destructive behavior has been established as a way to resolve self-consciousness contradictions. The study involved 100 adolescents with auto-destruction. The essence of self-destruction is contradiction as the desire to resolve self-destructive motives and the inability to implement this desire constructively. Teenagers believe that they are able to control their behavior and this same quality of personality causes them to feel self-blame. The second position wins. As a result, psychological protection is triggered. To explain their inability to stop self-destructive behavior, teenagers declare themselves anxious (suggestible). They respond to negativity from others by adopting group norms without taking into account their social norm.

Authors:   Institute of Psychology  of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kazymova Nadezhda Nailyevna
Published: March 2021

The paper presents the results of an empirical study of psychotraumatic experience in respondents of early adult age (20–35 years). Based on the generalization of the responses of the study participants (n = 509), a classification of potentially traumatic difficult life situations was developed and described. The most frequent traumatic events at this age were situations related to the loss of loved ones, life-threatening diseases, road accidents, and physical violence experienced. The relationship between the duration of the event and the intensity of signs of posttraumatic stress caused by the experience of this event was studied. Previous traumatic experience is also considered as a factor of intense actual experience of a traumatic event. It is shown that the more traumatic situations a person has experienced in the past, the more pronounced signs of posttraumatic stress and psychopathological symptoms they experience at present.

On the Experience of Preparing a Bilingual Dictionary of Natural History Concepts in Pictures for Elementary School
Authors:   Khakass State University, Кaramchakov Andrey Nikolayevich
Published: March 2021

This paper reveals some issues of preparing a bilingual dictionary of natural science concepts in pictures. In the course “The World Around”, junior school children get acquainted with various natural science concepts (physical, geographical, geological, phenological, astronomical, biological, agricultural, ecological). The process of their formation is rather complicated and extended. In studies of this process, the problems associated with the education of children, who do not speak or have limited proficiency in the Russian language, remain insufficiently studied. The formation of natural science concepts in such children should be based on sensory perception and on the basis of the principle of “reliance on the native language”. In the dictionary, concepts in Russian have equivalents in Khakass and Tuvan languages. Pictures convey essential visual information about an object and natural phenomena.

La "initerabilidad" de la escritura
Authors: Martinez Olguin Juan José
Published: March 2021

En el presente trabajo intentamos mostrar que la concepción de escritura como archi-escritura o movimiento de la trace que desarrolla Derrida a lo largo de su largo trayecto intelectual posee un déficit en relación con la posibilidad de identificar la especificidad de la escritura en su sentido corriente, es decir como el ejercicio de trazar letras o signos. Para explicar este déficit proponemos articular el texto a partir de la Conferencia que Derrida da en Montreal en 1971 y, más particularmente, a partir de la categoría de iterabilidad que desarrolla el autor en esa misma conferencia.
