Attribution and Chronology of Hellenistic Kantharoi from the Maeotian Burials
Authors: Лимберис Н. Ю. , Марченко И.  И.
Published: October 2023

In the Mаeotian burial grounds on the right bank of the Kuban river, several kantharoi of the Hellenistic series are known. The origin of these kantharoi is related with different production centers. Three forms distinguish among them: rounded-biconical (S-shaped), with an “angular” profile and with a neck sharply separated from the body. The first form includes 3 pieces (nos. 1–3), ornamented in the West Slope style with the so-called “spearhead necklace”. The earliest of them is kantharos no. 1. In terms of proportions, it can be attributed to the second quarter – the middle of the 3rd cent. B. C. This vessel was found in a burial with a Rhodian amphorae, the type of which is difficult to establish at the present time; therefore, the broad chronology of the burial according to the kantharos and black-glazed bowl is limited to the second half of the 3rd – middle of the 2nd cent. B. C. Kantharoi no. 2 and no. 3 are especially close to Pergamon kantharoi with a plain S-shaped profile from Olbia. Kantharos no. 2 comes from a burial with Maeotian gray-clay pottery of the middle – second half of the 3rd cent. B. C. The burial with kantharos no. 3 is dated from the Alexandrian variant (I–F) of the Rhodian amphorae and from other grave goods no later than the beginning of the second half of the 2nd cent. Kantharoi of the second form (nos. 4, 5) are comparable to kantharoi of the angular type. Kantharos no. 4 comes from a destroyed burial. The close analogy to the samples from the excavations of the Athenian agora and the characteristic pattern of ivy leaves suggest an Attic origin of this vessel and date it to the second – third quarters of the 3rd cent. B.C. On kantharos no. 5, the prints of “spearshaped pendants” have been preserved. For the Rhodian amphorae of the late series of the Villanova variant (I–E–2) with the stamp of the eponym Aglumbroth, the chronology of the burial is limited to the first quarter of the II cent. B.C. One vessel no. 6 belongs to the third form. According to its main features, it coincides with type III kantharoi from Olbia, which were previously attributed to local production. The context of the burial suggests that its most probable date is the last quarter of the 3rd cent. B.C. An analysis of the assemblages shows that the kantharoi of the Hellenistic series came to the Maeotians of the right bank of the Kuban from about the middle of the 3rd cent. B.C., at least until the third quarter of the 2nd cent. B.C. The dates of the kantharoi fit well into the chronological context of the grave goods in which they were found.
Image of the Bosporan warrior on the tombstone  from the Blagoveshchenskaya village
Authors: Новичихин А. М. .
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the image of the Bosporan warrior on the tombstone of the second half of the IV – beginning of the III century BC, found near the Blagoveshchenskaya village. The warrior is dressed in a short belted caftan, trousers and low boots, and is armed with a sword of the Meotian type. The most interesting detail of the image is a human head, which the warrior holds in his right hand. The attitude to the head of the enemy as a valuable trophy is attested in the ancient Northern black sea region, including the Asian Bosporus and neighboring territories, written sources (Herodotus, IV, 64), pictorial monuments and archaeological data. The penetration of this barbaric tradition into the Bosporan military community is associated with the participation of the Meotian tribes representatives in the wars of the Bosporus, as allies or opponents.
Эпиграфические записи Боспорского царства. Разнообразие.
Authors: Сапрыкин С. Ю. .
Published: October 2023

The author of this article is publishing a fragment of the newly found Greek inscription from the environs of Temriuk (the region of Krasnodar, in ancient times the Asian side of the Bosporan kingdom), dated the late 2nd – early 3rd c. AD. It is a list of thiaseitai – members of the Bosporan religious association. The names are of the Greek and Iranian origin which is usual at Bosporus in the Roman period. It shows a certain degree of Hellenization of the barbarian population and Barbarization of the Greeks on the Asian side of the Kingdom. The author also gives a new reading of the earlier published four proxenic decrees. He corrects the earlier suggested reading of the so-called “Third Phanagoreian proxenia” and the restoration of the three proxenic decrees from Panticapaeum. His historical and epigraphic commentary concerns the problems of enktesis and the duty-free import of goods at Bosporus. To his mind the grant of land-plots and houses in these decrees is connected with the policy of the Spartocids, the tyrants of Panticapaeum, who gave this privilege by themselves without turning to the polis institutions of the Bosporan cities. But when the tyrants, probably Leucon I, Paerisades I and Eumelus for sure, gave some political privileges to the cities like the “restoring of the constitution of their fathers”, i.e. a certain deal of polis autonomy, then the proxenic decrees were adopted with a term politeia – a right to obtain a civil position at Bosporus, chiefly in Panticapaeum, sometimes in Phanagoria and Gorgippia. It was linked with enktesis and gave a possibility to participate in political and civic life in one of these three poleis. The author also corrects the reading of a building inscription from Kyz-Aul (European Bosporus) dated to 204/5 AD, where the publishers didn’t recognize the name of one of the epimeletai – Aur(elius) (…), an archont, presumably, in Panticapaeum (Caesareia), Nymphaeum or Phanagoreia (Agrippeia). Along with Herakas, son of Pontikos, the supreme interpreter of the Alani, this person restored something “ruined, broken out” or simply when something ”fell down”. Herakas as the interpreter of the Alani, was also mentioned in the Phanagoreian inscription of 208 AD where one of the building projects was also held under his supervision. The author connects this Herakas’ activity with the policy of king Sauromates II who was searching for the support of the Bosporan cities and the Alani.

A Systematic Study of Methyl Carbodithioate Esters as Effective Gold Contact Groups for Single-Molecule Electronics
Authors: Ward Jonathan , Vezzoli Andrea , Robertson Craig , Nichols Richard , Higgins Simon
Published: October 2023

Currently, there is an array of binding groups for use within molecular electronics for anchoring molecules to metal electrodes (e.g., R–SMe, R–NH2, R–CS2−, R–S−). The problem is that some anchoring groups that bind strongly to electrodes have poor/unknown stability, or they have weak electrode coupling. More binding groups are required for molecular design with good stability and strong binding to the electrodes. Here, we present an in-depth investigation into the use of carbodithioate esters as contact groups for single-molecule conductance measurements, using scanning tunnelling microscopy break junction measurements (STM-BJ). We demonstrate using a series of novel molecular wires that the methyl carbodithioate ester acts as an effective contact for gold electrodes in STM-BJ measurements without deprotection. Surface enhanced Raman measurements demonstrate that the C=S functionality remains intact when adsorbed on to gold nanoparticle surfaces. A gold(I) complex was also synthesised showing a C=Sׄ→Au(I) interaction highlighting that the ester remains intact while binding to a gold centre. Comparison with a benzyl thiomethyl ether demonstrates that the C=S significantly contributes to charge transport in single-molecule junctions. The synthetic accessibility and performance of the functional group reported here demonstrates that it should be used more extensively and has strong potential for the fabrication of larger area devices with long-term stability.
Machine learning from quantum chemistry to predict experimental solvent effects on reaction rates
Authors: Chung Yunsie , Green William H.
Published: October 2023

Fast and accurate prediction of solvent effects on reaction rates are crucial for kinetic modeling, chemical process design, and high-throughput solvent screening. Despite the recent advance in machine learning, a scarcity of reliable data has hindered the development of predictive models that are generalizable for diverse reactions and solvents. In this work, we generate a large set of data with the COSMO-RS method for over 28,000 neutral reactions and 295 solvents and train a machine learning model to predict the solvation free energy and solvation enthalpy of activation (ΔΔG‡solv, ΔΔH‡solv) for a solution phase reaction. On unseen reactions, the model achieves mean absolute errors of 0.71 and 1.03 kcal/mol for ΔΔG‡solv and ΔΔH‡solv, respectively, relative to the COSMO-RS calculations. The model also provides reliable predictions of relative rate constants within a factor of 4 when tested on experimental data. The presented model can provide nearly instantaneous predictions of kinetic solvent effects or relative rate constants for a broad range of neutral closed-shell or free radical reactions and solvents only based on atom-mapped reaction SMILES and solvent SMILES strings.
Probing the work generated by the autonomous rotation around a single ruthenium atom in an organometallic complex

Published: October 2023

A variety of rotary molecular motors powered by light, chemical energy or tunnelling electrons have been synthesized and their operation in solution, in gels or on surfaces has been demonstrated. However, the single-molecule mechanics of such machines remain scarcely studied and very little data regarding their quantified performances have been disclosed. Here, we report on the synthesis of a series of molecules incorporating a five-arm rotor subunit and the direct quantitative measurement of the work generated by its rotation around the central ruthenium atom. We have used single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) to detect the autonomous oscillations. We demonstrate that a mechanical load does not prevent rotation and show that the chemical nature of the arms influences the energy barrier, causing differences in the work that the motor can generate. Our results illustrate that SMFS, which is now widely used to probe processes at the scale of a few tens of nanometers in biomacromolecules, can detect motions around a single atom in a tiny synthetic molecule.

Published: October 2023

Lipids dysregulations have been critically implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. Chemical analysis of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque pathology in transgenic AD mouse models has demonstrated alterations in the microenvironment in direct proximity to Aβ plaque pathology. In mouse studies, differences in lipid patterns linked to structural polymorphism among Aβ pathology, such as diffuse, immature, and mature fibrillary aggregate have also been reported. To date, no comprehensive analysis of neuronal lipids microenvironment changes in human AD tissue has been performed. Here, for the first time we leverage matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) though high speed and spatial resolution commercial time-of-light instrument, as well as high mass resolution in-house developed orbitrap system to characterize the lipid microenvironment in postmortem human brain tissue from AD patients carrying Presenilin 1 mutations (PSEN 1) that lead to familial forms of AD (fAD). Interrogation of the spatially resolved MSI data on a single Aβ plaque allowed us to verify nearly 40 sphingolipid and phospholipid species from diverse subclasses being enriched and depleted in relation to the Aβ deposits. This included monosialo-gangliosides (GM), ceramide monohexosides (HexCer), ceramide-1-phosphates (CerP), ceramide phosphoethanolamine conjugates (PE-Cer), sulfatides (ST), as well as phosphatidylinositols (PI), phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), and phosphatidic acid (PA) species (including Lyso-forms). Indeed, many of the sphingolipids species overlap with the species previously seen in transgenic AD mouse models. Interestingly, in comparison to the animal studies, we observed an increased localization of PE and PI species containing arachidonic acid (AA). These finding are highly relevant, demonstrating for the first time Aβ plaque pathology-related alteration in the lipid microenvironment in humans. They provide a basis for development of potential lipid biomarkers for AD characterization and insight into human-specific molecular pathway alterations.
Observation of a Synchronicity between Shallow and Deep Seismic Activities during the Foreshock Crisis Preceding the Iquique Megathrust Earthquake
Authors: Bouchon Michel , Guillot Stéphane , Marsan David , Socquet Anne , Jara Jorge , Renard François
Published: October 2023

We analyze at a broad spatial scale the slab seismicity during one of the longest and best recorded foreshock sequence of a subduction earthquake to date: the M8.1 2014 Iquique earthquake in Chile.  We observe the synchronisation of this sequence with seismic events occurring in the deep slab (depth ~100km). This synchronisation supports the existence of long-range seismic bursts already observed in the Japan Trench subduction. It suggests that, like for the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, the deep slab was involved in the nucleation process of the Iquique earthquake.  We interpret these observations by the presence of pressure pulses propagating in transient fluid channels linking the deep slab where dehydration occurs to the shallow seismogenic zone before the earthquake. These observations may seem surprising but they are in line with the short-lived pulse-like channelized water escape from the dehydration zone predicted by recent studies in slab mineralogy and geochemistry.

Service Quality Preferences Among Customers at Islamic Banks in South Africa
Authors: Moosa Riyad
Published: October 2023

Purpose:  The objective of this study is to investigate the service quality preferences of Muslim customers considering demographic factors, specifically gender preferences.
 
Theoretical framework: This study is guided by the dimensions in the SERVQUAL model including an additional dimension related to ‘compliance’ from the Carter Model.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach:  A quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the preferences of customers concerning service quality at Islamic banks in South Africa. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
 
Findings: The findings from the study show that ‘convenient operating times’, ‘providing prompt service to customers’, ‘having records that are accurate and without errors’, ‘staff keep to promises when timeframes are given regarding services to be complete’, ‘keeping customer information confidential’ ‘staff having the best interest of customers in mind’ and finally ‘the Islamic bank does not take interest on loans given’ are the most important items for both males and females regarding the various dimensions of service quality.  The reported results also show no significant difference when it comes to service quality preferences between males and females.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The results of this study have several practical implications. Firstly, Islamic banks can increase their market share by tailoring the quality of their service offerings to align with customer preferences. Secondly, Islamic banks should include as part of their advertising campaigns, the specific service quality offering most appealing to customers. Lastly, initiatives towards improving service quality should not be directed to a specific gender, rather initiatives must be inclusive of all customers, as the results of this study found no difference in service quality preferences regarding gender.
 
Originality/Value:  This is the first study to consider the role of gender concerning service quality preferences by customers of Islamic banks in South Africa.
Comparison of Satisfaction Levels Between Post-Operative Sectio Caesaria Patients Followed by the Eracs Protocol TAP Block Analgesia Method and IV Patient Controlled Analgesia: A Literature Review
Authors: Raharja Supanji , Aini Qurratul
Published: October 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the results of the past ten years of research related to the satisfaction levels of postoperative sectio cesarea patients followed by the ERACS protocol TAP block analgesia method and IV patient-controlled analgesia.
 
Theoretical framework: Cesarean section is one of the most common methods of delivery in the world. The enhancement of public interest in the cesarean section has also increased perioperative services. In order to increase the clinical benefits of cesarean section, enhanced recovery care is an effective way to do it. ERACS (Enhanced Recovery After Caesarian Surgery) is a fast recovery program after a cesarean section in the form of a series of treatments to improve post-surgical recovery. These conditions make expectations related to patient comfort and satisfaction during treatment.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The method used in the preparation of a literature review is to search for several articles by searching through science direct, google scholar, and Pubmed.
 
Findings: The results of 20 previous research articles showed that Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in cesarean section showed the results that standardizing postoperative patient care, improving patient outcomes, reducing the postoperative length of stay, and optimizing patient satisfaction.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: In postoperative management of the ERAS method, there are various methods, including regional block analgesia and patient-controlled analgesia. TAP block and PCA effectively relieve postoperative pain after cesarean section.
 
Originality/Value: This paper shows a large number of alternatives and the choice of post-cesarean section analgesic methods and drugs with the ERACS protocol means that pharmacology and anesthesia must be accompanied by aspects of patient satisfaction surveys which play a role in selecting the most effective drug or analgesic method.

A Case Study of Schizophrenia in a Young Female Following Unsuccessful Civil Service Exam: The Influence of Environmental Factors and Public Awareness on Patient’s Progress
Authors: Chen Xinxi
Published: October 2023

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting patients’ cognition, perception, emotion, linguistics,behavior, and sense of self. Both early detection and interventions are crucial for treatment outcomes. Furthermore, the causes of schizophrenia remain uncertain, with identified links to hereditary, brain chemistry, and physiological factors. This article presents a case study of a young Chinese woman diagnosed with schizophrenia, highlighting the potential influence of environmental exposures as an additional factor. The article also examines the impact of public knowledge on perpetuating stigma around psychosis and its effects on treatment efficacy.
Internal Control Implementation and Earning Management: A Mediation Effect Testing
Authors: Juliana Anisa Nur , Reskino Reskino
Published: October 2023

There must be clear evidence about whether internal control mediates earnings management in the relationship between financial distress and tax planning. This research analysed the direct effect of financial distress and tax planning on earnings management and the indirect effect of financial distress and tax planning on earnings management through internal control. A sample of 126 secondary observation data from 21 samples of SOCs companies and non-financial SOCs subsidiaries listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2016-2021 period was used. The test results showed that financial distress had a direct impact on internal control and earnings management, while tax planning did not have a direct impact. The study's findings also do not indicate that internal control can mediate the relationship between financial distress and tax planning on earnings management. Further research is needed to add other variables that can, directly and indirectly, affect earnings management.
Assessment of the Medication Adherence Among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients in ALSha’ab Teaching Hospital, Sudan
Authors:   1 Department of Internal Medicine, Sudan Medical Specialization Board, East Riffa, Bahrain, Ahmed Ibrahim Muna
Published: October 2023

Background: Adherence to therapy is one of the basic predilections to successfully treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Unfortunately, predictors of medication adherence are not well-known in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Sudan. Objective: To assess the medication adherence in the patients treated for COPD in ALSha’ab Teaching Hospital. Methods: An observational, hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of COPD outpatients. The following information was obtained: adherence to COPD therapy (Morisky Medication Adherence Scale - 4 items), age, gender, smoking status, treatment regimen for COPD, and COPD medication costs per month paid by the patients. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21.0. Results: Among 100 COPD patients, 73 (73%) were males, and (47%) belonged to the age group 40- 60 years. Regarding adherence, 47 (47%) reported as medium adherent, 38 (38%) as low adherents, and 15 (15%) patients as high adherent. High Adherence to COPD therapy was associated with older age (27%), married (16.5%), literate (23.3%), drugs with less frequent dosing (50%), oral medications (75%), aware of the inhaler usage (22.7%), a smaller number of drugs (41.4%), and affordable drugs (28.8%).

Published: October 2023

Background: Patient satisfaction is one of the desired outcomes of health care, as it is not only an indicator of quality of care but also plays a vital role in the management of chronic patients such as Diabetes mellitus because it promotes adherence to advice and treatment, utilization of health care services, and the establishment of the doctor-patient relationship. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to assess diabetic patients’ level of satisfaction attending the Central Diabetes Clinics in primary health care. Additionally, this study aims to determine whether patient satisfaction is related to individual characteristics such as sociodemographic parameters and disease-related factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Central Diabetes Clinics of Primary Health Care from February 6th to February 17th, 2022. The data was collected via a self-administered questionnaire. It was divided into two sections: the first part contained the patient's characteristics, and the second included 16 items obtained from the short form of the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18). Results: The study included 369 diabetes patients in total. Most participants (85.9%) were Bahrainis between the ages of 51 and 70 (70.5%). The overall satisfaction mean score was 69.4 (86.75%, SD = 8.9). Patients were most satisfied with the interpersonal manners, while they were dissatisfied with the waiting time for emergency services. A significant association was found between overall satisfaction and education level, as well as with the duration of treatment. Lower educational levels and a duration of Diabetes of 5–10 years were associated with higher satisfaction. No significant association was found between overall satisfaction and other factors such as sex, age, nationality, marital status, employment status, monthly income, the presence of other chronic conditions, the presence of diabetes-related complications, or the treatment type. Conclusion: This study concluded that most diabetic patients who visit Central Diabetes Clinics are generally satisfied with the quality of healthcare services.

В статті представлено імітаційну модель системи масового обслуговування з чергою і відносним пріоритетом, яка може використовуватися для управління надійністю транспортних систем в умовах ресурсних обмежень. Розроблена імітаційна модель поєднує агентний та дискретно-подієвий принципи симуляції і дозволяє вивчати системи масового обслуговування в частині встановлення закономірностей: імовірностей (обслуговування, відмови, виштовхування), затримок часу (перебуванням у черзі, під обслуговуванням), розмірів черги, порядку формування черги при надходження вимог різного пріоритету. В результаті досліджень отримані залежності: імовірністі обслуговування вимог вищого пріоритету залежно від інтенсивностей їхнього надходження та обслуговування; імовірністі обслуговування вимог нижчого пріоритету залежно від інтенсивності обслуговування та обслуговування вимог вищого пріоритету; імовірністі «виштовхування» зі СМО вимог нижчого пріоритету вимогами вищого пріоритету залежно від інтенсивностей обслуговування та надходження вимог високого пріоритету.
МЕТОД ТЕСТУВАННЯ НЕЙРОННОЇ МЕРЕЖІ ГЛИБОКОГО НАВЧАННЯ ДЛЯ РОЗРАХУНКУ ШЛЯХУ СУДНА В РІЗНИХ НАВІГАЦІЙНИХ СИТУАЦІЯХ

Метою статті є розробка методу тестування нейронної мережі глибокого навчання для розрахунку шляху судна для підвищення продуктивності відповідної числової моделі в різних навігаційних ситуаціях. Дослідження і розробка методів підвищення точності розрахунку мають велике значення для вирішення завдань мореплавання. Одним з підходів до підвищення точності чисел є використання нейронних мереж глибокого навчання. Нейронні мережі глибокого навчання здатні моделювати залежності з високою точністю і мають переваги в продуктивності порівняно з традиційними підходами. Однак розробка і тестування таких мереж в навігаційних завданнях вимагає додаткових досліджень, в першу чергу з точки зору врахування особливостей предметної області, а не загальновідомих підходів щодо тестування глибоких нейронних мереж в узагальненому сенсі. Представлений метод тестування нейронної мережі глибокого навчання для розрахунку шляху судна в різних навігаційних ситуаціях заснований на попередньому використанні імітаційної моделі руху судна, яка дозволяє моделювати різні навігаційні ситуації. Отримано три класи навігаційних ситуацій, які можна спостерігати в реальних умовах експлуатації судна. Для моделювання регулярних хвиль використовуються припущення лінійної теорії морських хвиль. Глибока нейронна мережа навчається на даних, отриманих з імітаційної моделі, і використовується для прогнозування траєкторії руху судна. Точність нейронної мережі оцінюється шляхом порівняння її прогнозів з траєкторією руху судна, отриманої з імітаційної моделі. Результати випробувань показали, що нейронна мережа може точно прогнозувати траєкторію руху судна в різних навігаційних ситуаціях. Метод може бути використаний для оцінки точності нейронних мереж глибокого навчання для розрахунку шляху судна в різних навігаційних ситуаціях.

Метою статті є розгляд методики розробки нейро-нечіткого регулятора (ННР) з налаштуванням його параметрів генетичним алгоритмом (ГА). Отримані результати підтверджують працездатність методики та дозволяють зробити висновок про те, що нейро-нечіткий регулятор при відповідній налаштування забезпечує високу якість роботи системи керування, у тому числі і за наявності випадкових збурень на динамічний об'єкт. Запропонована у статті методика синтезу ННР протестована в умовах обмеженого обсягу вихідних даних навчальної вибірки, розмір якої не впливає на якість роботи алгоритму. Достатньо двох або трьох значень параметрів вибірки, щоб сформувати діапазони для меж термів нечітких змінних, а далі оптимальні значення підбираються ГА. У результаті розроблено алгоритм синтезу регулятора та генетичний алгоритм налаштування його параметрів.

Published: October 2023

Одним з основних чинників, які визначають якість роботи автономного локомотива є тягова електропередача (ТЕП), для оцінки якої використовуються показники її роботи у режимах тяги та електричного гальмування. Як правило, оцінка тягової електропередачі проводиться за такими показниками, як установлена та тривала потужність електрообладнання, коефіцієнт корисної дії та ін. В даній статті запропоновано та обґрунтовано метод якісної оцінки тягової електропередачі з використанням інтегрального показника потужності. Оцінку динамічних показників тягової електропередачі пропонується виконувати на розробленій комп’ютерній моделі.

Published: October 2023

The subject of the study in the article is the process of data classification under conditions of fuzziness and a limited volume of training sample. The goal is to enhance the double neo-fuzzy neuron within the framework of solving the data classification task with constraints on the training sample volume, processing time, as well as fuzziness and nonstationarity of input data. The tasks include improving the double neo-fuzzy neuron to enhance the system's approximation properties and developing a combined system learning method to ensure fast performance in an online mode. The approaches used are lazy learning, supervised learning, and self-learning. The following results have been obtained: the double neo-fuzzy neuron has been modified by introducing a compressive activation function at the output, creating conditions for building a neo-fuzzy network capable of adapting to non-stationary input data in an online mode and avoiding the vanishing gradient problem. Conclusion. A combined learning method for the double neo-fuzzy neuron has been proposed, involving parallel utilization of lazy learning, supervised learning, and self-learning with the "Winner Takes All" rule, followed by automatic formation of membership functions, enabling fast online classification in the presence of outliers in the input data.
COMBINED METHOD FOR PROTECTING USER PRIVACY WHEN USING A WEB BROWSER

Published: October 2023

The article examines the issue of digital tracking, which allows users to be identified using cookies and digital fingerprints. A comparative analysis of current web tracking methods shows that approaches based on detecting and blocking web trackers are less effective than methods using value substitution. These approaches do not protect against passive fingerprinting techniques and are easily detected, making them vulnerable to user identification. To solve this problem, a hybrid method of forging transmitted data is proposed, including random generation and data fusion, as well as detecting trackers for immediate protection. Attributes with a wide range of possible values and complex compatibility are proposed to be replaced by real values with minor distortions.

Проведений аналіз стану та перспектив розвитку сучасних комп'ютерних систем (КС) показав, що проблема підвищення відмовостійкості, що є основою надійності, не може бути ефективно вирішена по основі використання традиційної двійкової позиційної системи числення без погіршення інших техніко-економічних показників КС. Отримані в результаті проведених досліджень та попередні позитивні результати показують перспективність використання модулярної системи числення (МСЧ) для підвищення відмовостійкості і надійності КС. Як основний показник для оцінки надійності функціонування КС запропоновано використовувати можливість безвідмовної роботи. З використанням формалізованої моделі відмовостійкості КС була досліджена та отримана математична модель надійності КС, функціонуючих в МСЧ, на основі використання принципу пасивної відмовостійкості. Дослідження моделі показало, що зі збільшенням кратності резервування надійність КС у МСЧ (з двома контрольними основами) підвищується до 25% порівняно з потроєною КС, яка використовує двійкову позиційну систему числення.

Розглянуто засади проектування композиційних матеріалів з гарантованим (потрібними) ефективностями. Надано основні співвідношення для оцінювання ефективності проектованого матеріалу. Головною умовою отримання матеріалу з малими коефіцієнтами відбиття електромагнітних хвиль є наближення хвильового опору поверхневого шару до опору повітря. Розрахунки показали, що для забезпечення мінімально прийнятного коефіцієнта відбиття (0,25–0,30) і достатніми коефіцієнтами поглинання електромагнітної енергії (-20 дБ за потужністю) матеріал повинен бути багатошаровим з середнім шаром високих поглинальних властивостей. Це забезпечується його високою електропровідністю. Можливим варіантом є монотонне зростання електрофізичних властивостей від зовнішньої поверхні до внутрішньої. За необхідності одночасного екранування електромагнітного поля ультрависоких та вищих частот та магнітного поля наднизьких частот (промислової та її гармонік і інтергармонік) матеріал повинен містити магнітний наповнювач. Його об'ємна кількість визначається за формулою Оделевського. Коефіцієнт відбиття у цьому випадку визначається співвідношенням абсолютних магнітної та діелектричної проникностей поверхневого шару. Для спрощення проектування матеріалу феромагнітні частинки наповнювача повинні бути електроізольованими. При цьому радіопоглинальний матеріал (або шар матеріалу) повинен мати у структурі розгалужені кола провідності. У процесі проектування матеріалу при обиранні матриці обов'язковим є врахування не тільки діелектричних проникностей матеріалів, а й тангенсів кутів діелектричних втрат.
