Authors: Davydenko Nadiia , Buriak Alina
Published: May 2024

In modern conditions, the information security of an enterprise is an important component of its financial security, since information is an integral part of the context of enterprise modernization with a view to competing in the market. Neglecting the processes of information risk management may cause the enterprise to lose intangible assets, which will lead to destabilization of financial security at the enterprise and the inability to maintain its own competitiveness in the future. The aim of the article is to find approaches to prevent information risks, determine the algorithm of actions for diversifying information risks at different levels of information support, and develop a set of measures to protect the information system for the financial security of an enterprise. The research is based on general scientific methods. In particular, the systematic approach was used to describe the essence of financial security as an economic category; methods of scientific abstraction and synthesis were used to determine the directions of the potential impact of information risks; and generalization was used to draw conclusions. The information base consists of the research papers of Ukrainian and international scholars. The article studies information support of an enterprise. The measures to prevent information risks in the system of enterprise financial security are considered. The scheme of information support of enterprise financial security has been developed.

Authors: Ardelean Florin
Published: May 2024

The article below tries to highlight, from multiple points of view, the concept of creativity in journalism - a field with various possibilities of approach and interpretation of the concept, the author noting that all people are creative to the extent that they are beings endowed with spirit. The article will answer the question of whether the journalist can resort to fiction and imagination, without seriously affecting the journalistic text, or the approaches to the concept in the media field cannot always be interpreted unilaterally. At the same time, we will try to identify an answer to the question regarding the creativity that a journalist would need, based on the fact that currently, in the professional environment, we could not speak of a journalist, in the singular, but of journalists with very different specializations, who are required to perform work editorials from very diverse perspectives.
Product placement in cinematography as a tool of marketing communication
Authors: Murea Elena
Published: May 2024

Product placement in cinematography is an effective marketing tactic, consisting of the discrete integration of products or services into films. This strategy gives brands significant exposure to the general public without seeming intrusive. By subtly placing products in scenes, movies can influence consumer preferences and opinions. This marketing communication tool has grown in popularity over the decades, and brands are willing to invest significant sums to see their products featured in impactful films. However, the success of product placement depends on the context of the film and the authenticity of the integration of the products into the story.

Authors: Beregoi Natalia
Published: May 2024

European Union media policy has evolved significantly over the years, serving as a powerful tool for fostering stronger relationships among its member states. The development of this policy can be divided into several distinct phases, each reflecting the changing landscape of media and the EU’s expansion. EU media policy aims to establish a common framework for media services, facilitating the free movement of audiovisual content across borders. The EU recognized the need to compete with non-European productions and introduced programs to support and promote European works, providing essential funding to bolster the industry. EU media policy has played a pivotal role in strengthening relationships among member states by promoting a unified media market, facilitating cross-border content sharing, and fostering a sense of common identity through media. However, it also faces ongoing challenges in adapting to the fast-paced media landscape and accommodating the diverse needs of member and candidate states. The article explores the multifaceted role of EU media policy in fostering closer ties among member states and highlights ongoing challenges in the media field.

The new language corpus: Exploring perception of graphemes "P" and "B" in Serbian Cyrillic and Latin scripts according to semantical context
Authors: Tvrdišić Sara
Published: May 2024

Language corpus serves as an essential instrument in facilitating research endeavors within the domain of natural language processing. As an illustration of such a language corpus, the paper presents part of the conducted research. Notably, the Serbian language demonstrates a deficiency in its linguistic resources, a concern accentuated by its unique status as one of the few languages characterized by a bialphabetical system, i.e., although in official use only the Cyrillic alphabet is used, in the Serbian language the Latin alphabet is also used in parallel. The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet in modern times is threatened by various influences of globalization, i.e., the more dominant use of the Latin alphabet in everyday life. The primary goal of the research is to examine the perceptual differences between the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. For the purposes of the research, a sample of subjects whose native language is not Serbian was used, so that the subjects would not be compelled by previous knowledge of the semantics of the Serbian language. The subjects would have to know at least the basics of the Serbian language and the rules of reading and writing to be able to understand the questionnaire, simplified with vocabulary for level A2. Within this paper, a segment of this research will be presented through several compared variables and predominantly by examining whether the graphemes "P" and "B" can cause confusion because these graphemes in Serbian Cyrillic and Latin have different phonetic pronunciations. The research showed that the answers given by the subjects were in a higher percentage perceived in the reverse script of the questionnaire (if the questionnaire was in Cyrillic, the perception of unclear words by a higher percentage of subjects was in Latin, and vice versa).

En estos últimos tiempos existen una serie de propuestas académicas para combatir el plagio en todas sus formas, pero a la vez se aprecia que en muchos miembros de la comunidad académica a pesar de las advertencias ceden a la tentación de copiar material ajeno sin el debido reconocimiento a los autores. El objetivo del estudio es reflexionar la necesidad de fomentar en los estudiantes y docentes la importancia de la honestidad intelectual al redactar un escrito evitando el plagio académico. Es cierto que el acceso a la información se ha vuelto vertiginoso gracias al Internet como a la irrupción de la Inteligencia Artificial que ha traído un aumento de trabajos no originales. Por tal motivo, se ha de fomentar una ética de responsabilidad basada en valores de integridad académica que promueva las buenas prácticas por trabajos originales juntamente con el apoyo necesario de la institución formativa en dar las facilidades logísticas y metodológicas de enseñanza en vista a una cultura académica de aprecio por la propiedad intelectual ajena.
Enhancing hull form design for robust efficiency: A data-enhanced simulation-based design approach
Authors: Ichinose Yasuo , Taniguchi Tomoyuk
Published: May 2024

This paper presents a design approach that integrates machine learning techniques with traditional physics based simulations/models to enhance the ship design process with robust efficiency. While generative machine learning methods, which can directly produce design outputs such as the 3D hull form, have the potential to transform the design strategy, ship design inherently involves a decision-making process that requires consensus among stakeholders based on a foundation in physics-based simulations/models. This paper proposes a practical design strategy that positions physics-based simulations/models at the core of the design process, augmented by data-driven models. The paper first classifies hybrid types of the two models and integrates them into a practical design process. Finally, it demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design approach by showcasing the impact of data circulation, which accumulates and reinforces data in day-to-day design operations, on improving design outcomes.

Patient Outcomes in a Novel Osseointegrated Device for Transfemoral Amputation: a case series
Authors: Hillock Ronald , Allison Daniel , Moyer Benjamin
Published: May 2024

Background

Socket suspension (SS) prosthetics are the current standard for transfemoral amputee prosthetic management. The SS systems have been shown to be inefficient in energy transfer, leading to gait alteration, wear discomfort, and skin complications. Many studies have shown osseointegrated (OI) devices are not associated with these problems and offer many benefits.

Purpose

Through this report the authors will describe surgical outcomes following transfemoral amputation (TFA) surgery using a novel OI device.

Methods

Patients with problematic TFA were identified from 2013 to 2018 were treated with a novel OI system. Candidate TFA patients identified through record review as part of an IRB authorized retrospective study. The study group all had the following characteristics: (1)No diabetes, (2)no peripheral vascular disease, and (3)mature healed TFA. All study subjects had attempted use of SS and had failed for many reasons related to the skin to socket interface. The outcomes measured recorded included: (1)Q-TFA Scores, (2)SF-36 Score, (3)time coupled per day, (4)resolution of back pain, (5)residual limb pain, and (6)overall satisfaction. Radiographs of implanted stems were reviewed for evidence of loosening or bone on growth.

Results

A group of TFA patients (11) had been treated with the OI system and agreed for follow up evaluation. Mean age 52 (37-73) years at the time of OI stage I surgery, with a mean time of 9 (3-20) years post amputation to implantation of the OI system. Original indications for the amputation included: 1 chronic osteomyelitis, 1 neoplasm, and 9 traumatic. Mean time to from TFA to OI was 73 months (2- 216). All patients reported a reduction or complete resolution of back pain after OI. Ambulatory/device coupling status reported was mean 12 hours/day. Average Q-TFA Prosthetic use score 66.1, Prosthetic mobility score, 60.2, Problem score 18.2, and Global score 72. Average SF-36 PCS 56.2 and average MCS 70.0. Radiographs reviewed all showed 4 to 6mm of distal circumferential bone reabsorption with robust bone on growth in the diaphysis of the implanted femurs.

Conclusion

Early data on the effectiveness and safety of the custom Patriot™ OI device is favorable. Future study evaluating long-term device survivorship and patient reported outcomes is warranted. Bone remodeling post implantation and coupling showed positive effects of the system. This study found the custom OI device to be safe and effective in the management of TFA in patients with controlled indications.

Published: May 2024

Despite the fact that digital transformation introduces multiple advantages, it also introduces crucial security challenges, since it combines heterogeneous communications, the integration of digital devices, legacy technologies. In the case of power grid, in addition to damage to the availability, integrity and confidentiality of information; there may be manipulation and take control of assets through the infection of operational systems. In this context, powerful cybersecurity schemes and mechanisms that guarantee the safe transmission of information and the safe operation of assets are required. The goal is develop cyber security schemes and mechanisms based on intelligent cyber defense mechanisms that provide flexibility and self-learning capacity to support humans in the analysis and generation of containment measures against cyber-attacks. This paper presents the developed and validation of an Intrusion Detection and Prediction System (IDPS) based on individual classifiers and ensemble algorithms. The IDPS has demonstrated be an efficient countermeasure against several cyberattacks. The proposed IDPS uses J48 (decision tree), CLONAL-G (artificial immune system), bayesian classifier and ensemble algorithm and was validated with the KDDCup databases. The attacks in the data set are categorized into four attack types: DoS (denial-of-service attacks), R2L (root-to-local attacks), U2R (user-to-root attack), and Probe (probing attacks). The results show that the individual classifiers perform well for particular attack, so it was necessary to build an ensemble algorithm that combine the information from each classifier for better performance. The idea is not to rely on a single classifier for the decision, but rather individual information from different classifiers is combined to make the final decision.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. In this context, the design of accurate and efficient methods for the automated classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is essential for clinical diagnosis, particularly in the detection of cardiac arrhythmias. The main objective of this project is to develop an automated classification system for cardiac arrhythmias using electrocardiogram signals. To carry out this project, the iterative cascade methodology was used, which allows modifications and improvements to be made in each development iteration. The interview technique was used to collect the project requirements, which allowed obtaining detailed and precise information on the needs and expectations of the client.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked the world order that has been socially constructed since World War II and brought racism's realities back to light in modern society. Coming right after the Covid-19 pandemic, the war has challenged western diplomacy as an avenue for resolving border disputes in the contemporary world. The sovereignty of nations has been tested by the war, with the EU security threatened. The war has led to the forced migration of Ukrainians and Ukraine residents. African immigrants who fled Ukraine at the start of the war faced inhumane challenges and violations of their human rights in their attempt to cross Ukraine's border points to safety, unlike their white counterparts. This paper analyses four Africans’ experiences in their attempt to cross the Ukraine border to safety using biographical method. Additionally, the paper reviews ten media footages of first-hand experiences by African immigrants at the Ukraine border points as people fled to safety between 24th February 2022 and 30th April 2022. The paper uses qualitative method to analyze the experiences and narratives of African immigrants from international media and deconstructs their experiences using the theory of race and ethnicity. The Africans' experiences are analyzed into typologies and deconstructed to illuminate the African immigrants’ experiences of historic, structural and systemic racism during global crisis. The objective of the interviews is to gather experiences and gather empirical evidence of racism experiences that took place at the Ukrainian border points. This paper highlights the conversation of human rights violations and social injustices against Africans in times of crisis and raises the questions of inequality and injustice treatment towards African immigrants during crisis in Europe.

The Halal Industry Master Plan reflects the commitment and effort of the Malaysian government to encourage private business enterprises in the halal cosmetic and personal care industry to be more competitive. The private business enterprises need a more competitive advantage to compete with international non-certificate halal cosmetic products and more capacity to export halal cosmetic and personal care products. This empirical study was conducted to test the relationship between government support programmes and the competitive advantage of private business enterprises and examine the effect of the mediating variable of business opportunity on the relationship between government and public business enterprises. Data were collected from 84 participants from the top management in private business enterprises in cosmetic and personal care products. Data were analysed by using PLS-SEM. A significant positive relationship between contractual programmes and competitive advantage was found. However, this relationship could have been more significant when business opportunity was included as a mediating variable. Meanwhile, the study found a negative relationship between relational programmes and competitive advantage. Surprisingly, the relationship between relational programmes and competitive advantage became positive when business opportunity was added to the model. This study focused only on Malaysia’s halal cosmetic and personal care industry. Future studies may be conducted in other halal sectors and other regions.

Published: May 2024

Corruption is a common phenomenon in all countries, prompting the establishment of various political, legal, and technical measures to combat it. Vietnam, a rising country in science, technology, economy, and politics, is experiencing an increasing prevalence of corruption at all levels, from local to central. Despite many stringent anti-corruption measures taken by the State and the Party of Vietnam, the results have not been satisfactory. This article provides an overview of the current situation of corruption in Vietnam and analyzes factors preventing the effective and efficient implementation of anti-corruption measures. These factors include political-legal and sociocultural influences, criminal and disciplinary measures, law enforcement challenges, investigation rights, the independence, objectivity, and impartiality in anti-corruption work, as well as the coordination of these efforts.

Background: The appetite for fast food in developing countries continues to rise although plans to regulate how these foods are safely delivered to the consumers are not common if they exist. Objective: To determine the Bacterial and fungal burdens of local packing papers used for roasted meat in Kano State Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Standard microbiological methods were used to determine the bacterial and fungal loads of 108 locally improvised packaging papers for fast food roasted meats in strategic locations of the Kano metropolis. The packaging materials were obtained from consenting roasted meat vendors in the Kano metropolis. Appropriate aseptic precautions were adopted to ensure a good, reliable, and reproducible result. Result:  The mean aerobic bacterial count observed ranged between 9.9 x 104 and 2.47 x 105 –3.09 x 102 cfu/ml and 1, 24 to 3.09 x 102 cfu/ml for fungi respectively. High counts of both bacteria and fungi were found in samples of meat wrapping papers. B. cereus and E. coli were isolated from 55% and 100% of samples of meat wrapping papers respectively. The roasted meat wrapping papers included old newspapers (80%), used exercise books (8%), and disposed of office printed stationeries (12%). The most probable bacterial number MPN showed that the papers for meat packaging were more exposed to contamination (75MPN/ml) while the paper plate had (7MPN/ml). Conclusion: The papers used for roasted meat fast food were found to be unsafe and unfit for packaging purposes as they can easily be a source of disease epidemic due to the confirmed loads of bacterial and fungal pathogens. The factory sterilized paper plates are also not free from microbial contamination but might be due to exposure to unsanitary storage and marketing conditions during delivery to end-users.
