Objective To explore the linear associations between social support, coping strategies, depression, anxiety, and cognitive function among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a path-analytic method.Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 496 individuals hospitalized due to T2DM. Well-trained investigators conducted face-to-face interviews with the participants using the Social Support Rating Scale, the Chinese version of Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, and the Mini Mental State Examination to measure social support (including objective support, subjective support, and support utilization), coping strategies (including confrontation, avoidance, and acceptance-resignation), depression/anxiety, and cognitive function, respectively. A path analysis was used to elucidate the linear associations between social support, coping strategies, depression, anxiety, and cognitive function.Results In the final path model with satisfactory model fit, objective support was found to be associated with cognitive function not only directly but also indirectly through confrontation coping and depression, and acceptance-resignation coping and depression/anxiety. Further, subjective support was found to be associated with cognitive function indirectly through depression/anxiety, as well as serially through acceptance-resignation coping and depression/anxiety. Support utilization was found to be associated with cognitive function indirectly through confrontation coping and depression, as well as through acceptance-resignation coping and depression/anxiety.Conclusion Social support, coping strategies, depression, and anxiety were associated with cognitive function among people with T2DM, and these associations were best explained by a serial mediation model from social support, coping strategies, and depression and anxiety to cognitive function.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the impact of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on suicide attempts and suicide deaths in South Korea, focusing on age and sex differences.Methods We analyzed the monthly number of suicide attempts and suicide deaths during pre-pandemic (January 2016–February 2020) and pandemic (March–December 2020) periods using nationally representative databases. We conducted an interrupted time series analysis and calculated the relative risk (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), categorizing subjects into adolescents (<18), young adults (18–29), middle-aged (30–59), and older adults (≥60).Results During the pandemic, the number of suicide attempts abruptly declined in adolescents (RR [95% CI] level change: 0.58 [0.45–0.75]) and older adults (RR [95% CI] level change: 0.74 [0.66–0.84]). In older males, there was a significant rebound in the suicide attempt trend (RR [95% CI] slope change: 1.03 [1.01–1.05]). The number of suicide deaths did not change among age/sex strata significantly except for older males. There was a brief decline in suicide deaths in older males, while the trend showed a following increase with marginal significance (RR [95% CI] level change: 0.76 [0.66–0.88], slope change: 1.02 [1.00–1.04]).Conclusion This study suggests the heterogeneous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide attempts and suicide deaths across age and sex strata in South Korea. These findings highlight the need for more targeted mental health interventions, given the observed trends in suicide attempts and suicide deaths during the pandemic.

The article discusses the process of declaring information security profiles, which is an important aspect of ensuring information security in modern organizations. The main purpose of the declaration is to establish clear requirements and control measures to ensure an appropriate level of protection of information assets against potential threats and vulnerabilities.
The authors of the article analyze the basic and target information security profiles, emphasizing their features, advantages and disadvantages. In particular, the basic security profile is considered as a minimum set of requirements that can be quickly implemented to ensure an initial level of protection. At the same time, the target security profile is aimed at more detailed adaptation of security measures to the specific needs and risks of the organization, which provides a higher level of protection.
The process of declaring security profiles includes several stages, such as assessing the current state of security, identifying threats and vulnerabilities, defining security requirements, developing and implementing security profiles, and regularly monitoring and updating security measures.
The article also discusses the current standards and regulations that govern the process of declaring security profiles, in particular, NIST SP 800-53 rev. 5, ISO/IEC 27001, and ND TZI 3.6-006-21. The article analyzes how these standards can be used to create effective security profiles that meet the specific requirements of organizations of various sizes and industries.
The authors conclude that the process of declaring information security profiles is critical to ensuring an adequate level of protection of information assets. Implementation of clearly defined security profiles allows organizations to take a systematic approach to risk management, reduce the likelihood of security incidents and increase the overall level of information security.

Published: September 2024

This article discusses the use of modified genetic algorithms to generate S-boxes with high nonlinearity, which is critical for ensuring the security of cryptographic algorithms. S-boxes play a key role in providing resistance to cryptanalysis, in particular to linear and differential cryptanalysis attacks. In the course of the study, a series of experiments were conducted using a genetic algorithm modified by additional storage of the current population and the use of selection. This approach has significantly improved the efficiency of the algorithm compared to the classical genetic algorithm. The best results were achieved with the minimum number of instances in the population and the optimal number of mutations. It was found that the algorithm finds S-blocks with a probability of 99% with a nonlinearity of 104, which demonstrates its high efficiency. The results of the study showed that the modified algorithm is able to provide stable generation of S-boxes with the required attack resistance properties. The proposed method also proved to be flexible in parameter settings, which allows it to be adapted for various cryptographic applications. The paper also discusses the possibilities of further improving the algorithm, including the study of other mutation and selection methods, as well as parameter optimization to achieve even better results. Additionally, the possibility of using distributed computing to increase the speed of S-boxes generation is considered. The results of the study indicate the prospects of the proposed approach for creating attack-resistant cryptographic systems.
This study considered the use of genetic algorithms to generate S-boxes with high nonlinearity. The proposed approach was based on the use of an objective function with optimal parameters, which allowed achieving high efficiency in generating bioactive S-blocks.
The proposed algorithm showed high stability and efficiency in generating S-boxes with nonlinearity, which is confirmed by a 99% probability of achieving the goal. These results indicate the prospects of using genetic algorithms in cryptographic applications that require high resistance to attacks.
In future research, it is planned to further improve the algorithm by exploring other methods of mutation and selection, as well as optimizing parameters to achieve even better results. In addition, it is possible to use distributed computing to further speed up the process of generating S-boxes.
About the possibility of protecting UAVs from suppression of control signals
Authors: Mytsenko I.M. , Pedenko Yu.A. , Roenko A.N.
Published: September 2024

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in a wide variety of sectors, both in the national economy and for military purposes. In the agricultural industry, they are used to monitor farmland, analyze soil samples, and even for livestock grazing. In search and rescue operations, UAVs are used to rescue people from life-threatening situations, and each time this technology proves its usefulness more than ever. UAVs are gradually finding their application in retail trade, transportation, entertainment, home security and even in construction using 3D printers. Simultaneously with the growth of the capabilities of UAVs, methods and means were developed to counteract them. The most affordable method of combating an UAV is to suppress the radio signals used to control it. As a result, the UAV loses contact with the operator, which leads to malfunctions in its operation. Therefore, the relevance of developing methods and means of combating suppression of control signals cannot be doubted and is becoming more and more necessary. The purpose of the work is to develop a scheme of the device (protection unit) that protects the UAV from interference radio signals in the operating mode.
The peculiarity of the developed device is that in the absence of interference signals on the standard frequency of the UAV, the protection unit receives the operator's control signal and transmits it to the input of the UAV receiver, which moves in the operating mode and performs the tasks assigned to it. In the event of the appearance of interference radio signals on the standard frequency, it independently detects them and, using the UAV transmitter, issues a command to the operator to change the operating frequency to an additional frequency. At the same time, the output frequency of the protection unit remains constant and is equal to the standard frequency of the UAV. Thus, the protection unit is a simple and inexpensive device that detects interference signals and automatically switches the control of the UAV to an additional operating frequency. A functional diagram of the receiving device was developed, and a detailed description of its operation was provided.
Method for adapting radioacoustic sounding systems of the atmosphere
Authors: Kartashov A.V. , Kondrashov I.E.
Published: September 2024

Stations of radioacoustic sounding (RAS) of the atmosphere are a promising means of obtaining information about the altitudinal distribution of meteorological parameters in the Earth's atmosphere used in the process of solving current scientific and applied tasks to ensure aircraft flights, weather forecasting, etc. However, the effectiveness of the existing radio-acoustic means is insufficient, and there are practical needs for the development of appropriate prospective structures and algorithms, which will be implemented during the construction of specific stations designed to solve actual applied tasks.
The article presents the synthesis of the RAS systems algorithm adaptation performed by changing the frequency of the sounding radio signal to fulfill the Bragg condition when the emitted acoustic pulse signal moves along the sounding path from the standpoint of optimal control theory. Since in the problem of synthesizing the algorithm for controlling the frequency of a radio signal, the disturbing and leading to violations of the Bragg condition during the propagation of an acoustic packet along the sounding path, as well as the process causing measurement errors, are considered as random, this problem is considered as a problem of stochastic optimal control.
It is shown that in accordance with the separation theorem, known from the theory of optimal stochastic control, the method of controlling the frequency of a sounding radio signal should include sequentially peformed operations of forming estimates of the information parameter of the scattered radio signal, optimal linear filtering of the obtained estimates, and deterministic control of the frequency of the sounding radio signal.
Discourse of decadence in Nikodim Kondakov’s “History of Byzantine Art...” (1876)
Authors: Rykov Anatolii Vladimirovich
Published: September 2024

The aim of the paper is to reevaluate the theoretical dimension of the book “History of Byzantine Art and Iconography Based on Miniatures of Greek Manuscripts” (1876) by the leading Russian art historian Nikodim Pavlovich Kondakov (1844-1925) within the context of examining the cultural and social problem of decadence. The article provides a new interpretation of the well-known work by N. P. Kondakov. Scientific novelty lies in the following: the terminology of the book (and, above all, such concepts as naturalism, realism and idealism) is considered for the first time in connection with the problems of biological and decadent discourses. Particular attention is paid to the social and cultural aspects of the cyclical theory of decline set forth in Nikodim Kondakov’s book. As a result, this concept of cultural degradation is linked with ideas about social decline that were formed in the culture of the 19th century. The components of the aesthetics of decadence and biological discourse are studied, among other things, through the lens of Russian realistic aesthetics. The article uses methodological complexes that help shed new light on the peculiarities of the functioning of the cultural tradition in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century, especially in aspects related to the influence of culture on the development of the humanities. The emphasis is on finding those cultural and intellectual sources of Nikodim Kondakov’s scientific activity that turned out to be the most important in terms of the formation of his innovative theoretical and methodological concepts.
Interpreting the imagery of René Magritte’s painting “The Son of Man” in a 2008 Volkswagen AG advertising product: A comparative approach to analyzing advertising as a cultural text
Authors: Volkova Viktoriya Borisovna
Published: September 2024

Through a comparative approach, the research aims to identify the ways in which the advertising artist Kirill Chudinskiy (the 2008 Volkswagen AG advertising campaign) interprets the imagery of René Magritte’s work “The Son of Man” and to discover the main means of representing the cultural meanings of the classical painting in the advertising product. The paper examines the features of Chudinskiy’s creative interpretation of the images of the classic painting masterpiece, as well as various means of artistic representation (allusion, symbol, allegory, depersonalization, antithesis, anthropomorphism), which help create the image of the advertising reality. The scientific novelty of the research is accounted for by the fact that the comparative approach to studying an advertising product (poster) allows for deciphering the content of the cultural dialogue between a contemporary artist and the legacy of the past; revealing the aesthetic value of a digital painting; and identifying affective techniques used in the process of creating a mass product and provoking the consumer to perceive the experience of classical art through the discovery of cultural text structures. In addition, the studied advertising product of 2008 by Volkswagen AG has not previously been the focus of researchers’ attention. As a result, it was found that, firstly, the interpretation of the image of the central character in Magritte’s work allows the advertising artist to create a hero of his time, expose his vices, while simultaneously engaging the viewer in an intertextual dialogue. Secondly, by offering his own compositional solutions in the poster, Chudinskiy, to some extent, provokes the viewer, ironically commenting on the subordination of modern people to the world of things, while simultaneously encouraging the viewer to acquire a thing, i.e., a product, through advertising. Thirdly, by transforming the images of the sky, the sea, and man, which are symbolic on the canvas of the Belgian surrealist, Chudinskiy, on the one hand, actualizes the reality of the advertising product, and on the other hand, inspires the recipients with the idea that they will become part of this reality the moment they acquire the product. Fourthly, the creator’s intellectual game with the recipient through the work of art encourages the consumer to decipher the cultural text, i.e., to engage in cognitive activity, relying on knowledge, associations, and memory.

Authors: Shubina Elvira Leonidovna , Pugacheva Tatyana Andreevna
Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to identify modifications of the German proverb “Not macht erfinderisch” (lit. “Need makes one inventive”) in economic media discourse. The scientific novelty of the study lies in constructing models of modification of the analyzed paroemia. For the first time, the functioning of the proverbial saying in the traditional and in a modified form in the economic journalistic discourse of Germany is considered. The analysis of the corpus of traditional and authorial forms of the proverb reveals variants that do not affect the meaning of the proverb and transformations that partially or completely change its meaning. As a result of the study, it was found that the frequency of occasional modifications of proverbs in the research material is 1.5 times higher than the use of the proverb in the traditional form. The proposed list of paroemias in a modified form will demonstrate the features of the use of the proverb in the modern journalistic discourse on economic topics, reveal and predict its modification potential based on the identified models.

The article is devoted to the consideration of “The Daughter of Shaofu Cui Bestows a Poem upon Lu Chong”, a poem included into the anecdote “Lu Chong Marries a Deceased Woman” from the collection “In Search of the Supernatural” (the zhiguai xiaoshuo genre) by Gan Bao. The aim of the study is to identify the functional features, genre originality, and typological characteristics of this poem in the framework of the anecdote and the collection. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that this poem has not been comprehensively analyzed yet. The line-by-line analysis of the poem, which constitutes the core of this article, is based on our own interlinear translation. By analyzing the poem, we have revealed its compositional features, commented on the images, outlined its motifs and types of connections between the motifs, formulated the themes, defined the idea. In addition, we have determined the genre of the poem, a series of typological features that unite this poem with other works of the same genre, and also the semantic and functional load of the poem in the context of the entire collection. The results have shown the following: first, “The Daughter of Shaofu Cui Bestows a Poem upon Lu Chong” is a literary message (epistle; letter) zeng, to be more precise – a literary appeal. Second, as it is not only one of the first messages, but also one of the first love messages in the history of Chinese literature, it allows us to make some generalizations on the specificity of the poetic [love] message in Chinese literature at the stage of its formation. Third, this small poem, an inserted element in fact, is subordinated to the general task, declared by the author in the preface, and it fully copes with this task.

Kesulitan belajar merupakan salah satu tantangan utama dalam pendidikan, khususnya di lembaga pendidikan dasar seperti Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). Identifikasi dan pemahaman terhadap faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kesulitan belajar sangat penting untuk merancang intervensi yang efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami secara mendalam problematika yang menyebabkan kesulitan belajar pada siswa di MI Syifaaush Shuddur. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi penggunaan skala penilaian, observasi langsung, wawancara mendalam, dan analisis dokumentasi. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa yang mengalami kesulitan belajar, serta guru dan orang tua yang berperan dalam proses pembelajaran mereka. Data dianalisis secara tematik untuk mengidentifikasi pola-pola yang relevan dengan kesulitan belajar yang dihadapi siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas siswa di MI Syifaaush Shuddur mengalami kesulitan belajar yang cukup tinggi. Faktor internal seperti kemampuan intelektual dan minat belajar yang rendah, serta faktor eksternal seperti kurangnya dukungan dari lingkungan keluarga, kondisi sekolah, dan pengaruh masyarakat, berperan signifikan dalam meningkatkan kesulitan belajar. Selain itu, pelajaran bahasa Arab diidentifikasi sebagai salah satu bidang studi yang paling sulit dipahami oleh siswa, sehingga memerlukan perhatian dan strategi pengajaran khusus. Temuan ini menekankan perlunya intervensi yang tepat dan metode pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif untuk membantu siswa mengatasi kesulitan belajar. Penggunaan pengulangan materi yang sistematis serta pendekatan pengajaran yang lebih partisipatif disarankan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa, terutama pada mata pelajaran yang dianggap sulit seperti bahasa Arab.

Ultimate Capacity and Load Transfer Mechanism of Ground Anchors in Granular Soils: State-of-the-Art
Authors: Al-Baghdadi Nadher H. , Ahmed Balqees A.
Published: September 2024

The grouted ground anchor is the most used geotechnical element to transfer the tension load from the superstructure or the soil mass in front of the potential failure surface (active zone) to a deeper, efficient soil layer for its reliability and feasibility. It was originally constructed by inserting the tendon, usually a steel strand, into an already drilled borehole filled with cement grout. It was successfully used in the Cheurfas dam in Algeria in (1934). According to the load transfer mechanism, there are two types of ground anchors: tension-type and compression-type. The names of these two types of anchors refer to the developed stresses in the grouted body.  The present work presents a literature survey about the load transfer mechanism for both types of anchors: tension and compression embedded in granular soil. Many factors affecting the load transfer mechanism have been reviewed. The main factor affecting the load transfer mechanism is the confining pressure of the borehole. The recently developed methods of estimating the ultimate pullout capacity of the anchor have been reviewed and discussed.

Previous research has found that instrument-like timbres (hereafter, timbres) can affect the Goodness-of-Fit (GoF) evaluations of cadences (Vuvan & Hughes, 2019). Here, we expand these findings by testing more timbres and chord sequences and analyzing a wide array of chordal and timbral variables. 135 participants with varying levels of musical training provided GoF ratings for 15 C-C-X chord sequences constructed with piano, clean electric guitar, and choir timbres. The third chord was a major, minor, major-minor seventh, or minor seventh chord. The ratings of choir stimuli were higher and their range narrower than the ratings for the other two timbres, regardless of musical training. Additionally, the profile formed by the GoF ratings of the 15 choir stimuli was different from the profiles of the other two timbres. Further analyses provided detailed information about the effect of timbre as well as harmonic and melodic factors on the ratings. Attack was identified as a likely contributor to GoF ratings of choir stimuli being higher than the ratings of the other stimuli. Tonal contextuality (Leman, 2000), affected by diffuse partials, and the importance given to the soprano are discussed as two plausible explanations for the narrow range and other idiosyncrasies of the GoF ratings of the choir stimuli.

We introduce the Digitally Accountable Public Representation (DAPR) Database, an innovative archive that systematically tracks and analyzes the online communications of federal, state, and local officials in the U.S. Focusing on X/Twitter and Facebook, the database includes Tweets and Facebook posts dating back to 2020, offering a rich historical perspective on digital political discourse by elected officials in the states. Along with the raw data, we develop and include key measures that quantify relevant features of online communications. These include specialized measures of misinformation dissemination, the use of toxic language by officials, and the expression of anti-vaccination attitudes. In addition to presenting and describing the contents of the DAPR database, we introduce a dedicated R package, enabling users to download and analyze data in bulk, tailored to their specific research needs. We also provide an interactive digital dashboard, designed for a broader audience to explore and interpret the data in a user-friendly online environment. Lastly, we describe our model for expanding and sustaining the DAPR database going forward, including the addition of new officials and platforms, and the collection of social media data in the post-API era.
