Published: February 2025

Life has become more convenient, efficient, and productive in aspects like homes, healthcare, and other businesses’ due to applied IoT. Nonetheless, the proliferation of IoT has led to enormous data production, which has presented daunting tasks of providing sound protective security solutions. It is crucial to address the above challenges in order to protect the data assets in IoT systems. This work deals with the concern on how to extend Hyperledger Fabric to IoT, this being a very crucial aspect in allowing for secure techniques in the collection, storage and sharing of data. Hyperledger Fabric offers advanced capabilities of smart contract and offers authorized and conditional access control, and this feature alone is enough to fulfil the IoT security needs. Therefore, this paper introduces a new solution related to the existing security problems in permissioned blockchain architecture, which is based on a four-tier architecture integrated into the Hyperledger Fabric platform. As for architecture, our proposal divides it into four layers: the application layer, the blockchain platform layer, the cloud storage layer and the IoT device layer, to tackle the problems of security and efficiency of the whole process. To establish the proposed solution, a data literature review has been carried out to collate the analysis and apply the data from the different studies. This paper shows that the deployment of blockchain technology in IoT environments also optimises IoT systems in terms of security, efficiency, and capacity in terms of IoT applications. As more and more IoT solutions appear and evolve, the usage of block chain technology as a whole and the specific Hyperledger Fabric platform in particular opens the way to overcoming the rather fluid issues of this constantly developing sphere.
Implementing Identity-based Signature Schemes for Secure Data Transfer in Cloud Computing Environments
Authors: Osinuga Paul , Chin Ji-Jian , Lau Terry Shue Chien
Published: February 2025

In this paper, we present the implementation of the Cha-Cheon Identity-Based Signature (IBS) scheme to enhance secure data transfer in cloud computing environments. Cloud computing rely on traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems, which is burdened by certificate management infrastructure. The primary focus of this research to simplify key and certificate management by leveraging identity-based elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) within the Cha-Cheon IBS framework. We show that the proposed IBS solution integrates seamlessly with Amazon Web Services (AWS), utilizing services like S3 for secure data storage and KMS for key management. By applying ECC, the Cha-Cheon scheme achieves efficient cryptographic operations with smaller key sizes, resulting in reduced computational overhead, faster key generation, signature creation, and verification times compared to RSA-based systems. We conducted extensive performance evaluations to compare the Cha-Cheon IBS scheme with traditional PKI-based systems. The results demonstrate that our implementation significantly outperforms RSA in terms of key generation, encryption, and signature verification times, especially under increased user loads and data sizes. Moreover, the security analysis confirms the robustness of the Cha-Cheon IBS against key compromise, offering strong resistance to unauthorized access and key revocation issues. The scheme also scales efficiently as the number of users increases, making it ideal for large-scale cloud infrastructures. This research highlights the potential of IBS as a viable alternative to PKI systems, providing a more streamlined and efficient approach to secure data transfers in cloud environments.

Published: February 2025

This paper examines the cognitive processes involved in the Arabic translation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how these translations impact the interpretation of ecological concepts. Using Gavins' (2007) Text World Theory, which explores the mental models constructed by readers based on linguistic elements, the research investigates how the Arabic translations of the SDGs activate mental representations within their discourse world. The SDGs' discourse in Arabic is cognitively organized around four key dimensions: Participants, Place, Time, and Sensory Inputs. These dimensions illustrate how ecological issues are framed and how they influence both global policymaking and individuals’ cognitive engagement with sustainability in the Arabic-speaking world. The analysis specifically focuses on assessing the quality of the Arabic translation, examining how effectively it conveys the intended meanings and how it shapes cognitive understanding of ecological concerns.
Teachers' Perceptions of Using Computers
Authors: Hend Abdullah Bamalan
Published: February 2025

This study investigated teachers' perceptions of using computers in their classrooms. The study used secondary data from the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS): Teachers’ use of educational technology in U.S. public schools by the United States Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, and National Center for Education Statistics. The survey was conducted from 2008-2009. The study used a chi-square statistical test and analysis of variance (ANOVA test) to examine the research questions. Three results emerged from the study.  First, the results showed a connection between how teachers and their students utilized computers during classroom instruction and the teachers' years of experience in elementary or secondary education. Secondly, no correlation was found between the usage of computers by teachers or their students during instructional time and the type of community. Lastly, the third result highlighted a variation in the number of internet-connected computers introduced to schools, depending on the community type. The findings demonstrate a significant relationship between teachers' years of experience and students' engagement with computers during instructional time. This indicates that more experienced educators may utilize technology differently than their less experienced counterparts. Conversely, the lack of a relationship between computer usage and community type suggests widespread access to technology across various settings. However, the effective integration of such resources may still vary based on individual teaching practices rather than environmental factors. The study recommended studying how teachers and students interact while using computers during lessons and how this affects students' academic success. In addition, studies could compare students’ success based on the types of training teachers receive.

The Aspirations’ Transmissions from Father to Children
Authors: Nishimura Takuma
Published: February 2025

The mechanism of aspirations’ transmissions from father to their child is a remaining topic in the developmental field of psychological research. Grounded in self-determination theory, a motivational framework that explains psychological well-being or healthy personality, this study examined the relation between fathers’ and their children’s aspirations and the factors that influence the transmission process. A total of 310 Japanese junior high school students in the 9th grades (boys = 155, girls = 155; Mage = 14.98) and their fathers (Mage = 47.95) participated in this survey. Correlation analysis revealed positive associations with medium effect size between fathers and their children’s aspirations. Additionally, moderation analysis highlighted the following two findings. First, children who received autonomy support from their fathers strengthen the connections of intrinsic aspirations which is related to affiliation and social contribution value between father and thier children. Second, in the transmission of extrinsic aspirations, which contain financial success, attractive appearance, and social recognition, a child’s life satisfaction played a crucial moderating role. Specifically, higher life satisfaction in children was associated with a greater ability to resist adopting their fathers’ extrinsic aspirations, whereas lower life satisfaction was linked to a greater likelihood of adopting them. The discussion interprets these findings and outlines directions for future investigation.
The Crusading Vow before and during the First Crusade
Authors: Aitchison Paul
Published: February 2025

Crusading vows were a unique phenomenon that arose out of a combination of the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchical structure, its roots in the Roman Empire and the vassal and lord feudal relationship of the Early Medieval Period. This article examines the history of vows up to the First Crusade, examining the history of how Roman law and politics had an element of vows to the Roman pantheon for the good of the state. Additionally, how vows were used during the First Crusade and some of the effects those vows had on the military campaign itself. Crusading vows changed and formalized over the subsequent centuries and crusades across the Middle East and Europe. The military campaign, particularly in Asia Minor and during the Siege of Antioch saw the use of the vow to keep the morale of the soldiers high, to motivate the army to continue the struggle and to fortify them for hardships. The monastic vows made by clergy beginning in the 6th century through to the military oaths of today’s armed forces are a historical offshoot of the vows and oaths made by knights and the military orders originating during the crusading period.

Authors: Harkevich Lyudmila , Sitnov Dmitriy , Adamko Vasily , PRISchEP Dmitriy
Published: February 2025

During the field experiment, the effect of potash fertilizers on the yield and quality indicators of the green mass of millet was studied. It was found that the highest yield of green mass (13.4 t/ha) and grain bearing (12.3 t/ha) on average over three years of research was provided by a dose of potassium fertilizer 240 kg/ha. The maximum volume of crude protein (0.27 t/ha), dry matter (3.1 t/ha) and metabolic energy (26.3 GJ/ha) were also obtained with the addition of K240. The specific activity of 137Cs in the products obtained in the experiment did not exceed the sanitary and hygienic standard (400 Bq/kg). Potash fertilizers reduced the intake of radionuclide into the crop. The minimum value of this indicator was noted in the variant with the addition of potassium at a dose of 240 kg/ha of active substance.
Perennial cereal grasses and their use for sod coverings of runways for small aviation
Authors: Kostenko Sergey , Sedova Ekaterina
Published: February 2025

Historically, the first airplanes used natural lawns for takeoff or landing. As the speed of aircraft increased, so did the speed of the aircraft during takeoff and landing. This led to increased requirements for the grass on these already specialized sites. The grounds had to be more even, without bumps and hollows, the grass stand of constant height, not very high. There were to be no gaps in the turf, because in rainy weather there would be a puddle of mud in which the wheels could get stuck. With the next increase in speeds and the adoption of helicopters and jet engines, the requirements for takeoff pads became even stricter, and only hard surfaces were required. The issue of grass turf surfaces became irrelevant. But in recent years, small aviation began to develop in all countries of the world, as well as in Russia. At the same time, it turned out that many skills in creating grass turf airfields were lost.

The desire to get the maximum profit from each hectare in the shortest possible time is a common phenomenon in agriculture in many countries. Landowners try to grow the most commercially profitable varieties and crops, which leads to the emergence of monocultures, and as a result to the use of high doses of fertilizers, intensive tillage, and frequent use of pesticides and growth regulators. Such a land-use regime inevitably leads to a decrease in humus in the soil, to an increase in erosion processes and to a decrease in returns from agriculture. Application according to the developments of V. R. Williams, perennial herbs improve the structure of the soil, increases and preserves its fertility. When using feed based on legumes and cereals, as the most natural for most animals, their life expectancy increases, the quality of the final product improves in terms of consumer indicators and in terms of environmental safety. For the successful use of perennial herbs, it is necessary to select the species and varietal composition of these herbs depending on the region and soil and climatic conditions. In many cases, the necessary varieties of the necessary species do not yet exist and they must be derived based on the use of ecological breeding techniques and the creation of an effective scientific support system aimed at obtaining the final product.
Problems of breeding specialized varieties for soil improvement in organic farming in Russia

Organic farming aimed at obtaining environmentally friendly food of the highest quality category is still relatively rare in Russian agriculture. Such agriculture is characterized by minimal use (up to complete abandonment of the use) of various pesticides and other agrochemicals. Tillage with such a farming system is also reduced to a minimum. At the same time, the use of siderates is of great importance. The most famous of them is seradella. But this culture is most widespread in the southern regions. In Western Europe, it has already been used for this purpose for hundreds of years. Other crops are also used on the territory of our country and these are mainly forage plants: yellow lupin, narrow-leaved lupin, white lupin, cocksfoot, pasture ryegrass, white mustard, Sarepta mustard, spring rapeseed, winter rapeseed, spring vetch, winter shaggy vetch, meadow clover and many others. To create specialized varieties for these purposes, the main thing is to select plants that will be able to suppress the development of weeds to the maximum extent, increase soil fertility and make difficult-to-dissolve nutrients available. In our country, there is a huge amount of difference in soil and climatic features (temperature, precipitation and their distribution by season, etc.); therefore, the creation of one variety of each crop for the whole country is extremely difficult. The requirements for siderates and the normal use of plants of the same crop differ dramatically. For example, the presence of prussic acid, glucosinolates and other substances toxic to animals in forage plants is unacceptable, and their presence in sideral crops is usually not harmful, but often useful. There are also differences in the requirements for the sowing rate, the rate of development and durability of such varieties. Therefore, the standards for breeding varieties intended for sideral steam or cover crops differ significantly from the requirements for the variety for other purposes – such varieties should differ in rapid seed germination, rapid growth of green mass, such varieties may not differ in durability, since they are used during one season, often they do not need winter hardiness. Work in this direction has already begun, the first specialized varieties have appeared, but for many crops this work is just beginning.

Published: February 2025

The selection of wild forms of creeping clover in natural phytocenoses of the Cretaceous south of the Central Russian Upland was carried out. The collection nursery includes 12 new lawn-type selections selected. Comparison of new selection material with domestic and foreign varieties of creeping clover was carried out. The new selection sample RSK 06/22 was obtained, which differs from the standard — variety Volat by smaller leaves, low stature, high shoot-forming ability, white-pink flowers that retain color after pollination; high seed productivity — higher than the standard by 24.6 %. All domestic varieties studied in the experiment and the new selection sample have high and stable seed yield averaging 0.038-0.042 kg/m2, which allows to ensure guaranteed seed production of creeping clover in the region.
Genus Vicia, wild relatives and cultural forms for breeding for forage purposes
Authors: BIYuShKINA Anna , Kostenko Sergey , Kostenko Natalia
Published: February 2025

The genus Vicia L. includes 83 species found in Russia and neighboring countries [1], and in total the number of species belonging to the genus Vicia in the world reaches 290. Of the species growing in Russia, 36 are annual and the rest are perennial. Currently, the Register of Breeding Achievements [2] includes 18 varieties of fodder beans (Vicia faba L.), 8 varieties of winter hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), 1 variety of spring hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), 54 varieties of spring sowing vetch (Vicia sativa L.), 1 variety of Ervilia vetch (Vicia ervilia L.). These are all annual species, in addition, one species of perennial vetch is included in the register — 2 varieties of mouse vetch (Vicia cracca L.). Most often, plants of this species are creeping or spreading herbs that are well eaten by all types of animals, but especially readily by cattle. Plants of this genus are widespread practically throughout the entire territory of Russia, they easily adapt to very contrasting environmental conditions, which causes increased attention to them, but at the same time some of them also have digestion inhibitors, which complicates selection work with plants of this species.

Published: February 2025

The search for source material for breeding soybean varieties adapted to the natural and climatic conditions of the Central Black Earth Region remains relevant. Phenological and morphobiological traits and properties of nine early maturing soybean varieties and breeding samples of different ecological and geographical origin were studied in the collection nursery. Sources of valuable breeding traits and properties of importance for practical soybean breeding were identified. The forms, which can serve as sources of some valuable breeding traits, have been determined, in particular, the new selection number CO 15/22 can be potentially used as a source of early maturity and high seed productivity. The obtained selection material will be used in further scientific work.

Published: February 2025

Historically one of the main fodder crops in Russia, Timothy meadow grass (Phleum pratense L.) is not a record-breaker in terms of yield or protein content, but in the Non-Black Earth zone it always guarantees a normal yield of green matter or hay, which is quite easy to produce from it. This crop was first cultivated for fodder purposes in the north of European Russia in the first half of the 18th century. Timothy meadow grass is a typical hay crop, which is most often grown in grass mixtures with meadow clover [1]. This species has about five ecological forms-subspecies, which are evolutionarily confined to separate soil-climatic differences. The work on breeding the variety Grivskaya was timed to create a variety adapted to the conditions of the Smolensk region.

Global climate change and the creation of adapted varieties of forage crops
Authors: Kostenko Sergey , Kostenko Natalia
Published: February 2025

In Russian agriculture, forage crops play a huge role as a source of high-grade animal feed and as the main factor in the ecology of the entire agriculture. Forage crops are the main source of the main factors of increasing the humus content in soils, as the main indicator of their fertility, they can most successfully combat wind and water erosion, they are the most successful of all crops can grow on the poorest and most problematic soils (saline, arid, waterlogged, etc.). We are pioneers in the cultivation of basic food crops. This determines the primary role of forage crops in responding to climate change throughout Eurasia. In past periods of history, global climate change has led to serious social upheavals precisely because of the sharp decline in agricultural production, crop failures and even the subsequent population decline in individual countries [1]. Timely response to such changes by creating varieties adapted to new environmental constraints will not only successfully overcome the expected crisis, but also benefit from such changes. In addition to the use of traditional methods, great hopes are pinned on the widespread use of modern genetic technologies, biochemical and physiological methods, methods of cell and tissue cultivation.
A new tool to detect financial data scaling

The assumption of frictionless markets has long been debated, drawing interest from scholars and practitioners alike. Market liquidity is a central theme in this regard; it is traditionally assessed through transaction costs, volume, price-based, and market-impact measures. In contrast, the Fractal Market Hypothesis (FMH) suggests that liquidity emerges from the heterogeneity of investment time scales among participants, with liquidity shortages arise when traders converge on the same time horizons, particularly the short-term one which typically occurs during volatile periods. While current methods to asses liquidity often rely on single moments, which may provide limited insights, a novel methodology that considers the whole distributions and compares log-returns across pairs of time scales is discussed and implemented in this work. A Matlab-based algorithm is built that provides as output a dynamical estimation of the pairwise self-similarity of the scaled distributions. The lower the self-similarity parameter the higher the potential liquidity shortage.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases, which seriously affects the life of middle-aged and elderly people. Traditional treatments such as surgical treatment and systemic medication, often do not achieve the expected or optimal results, which leads to severe trauma and a variety of side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapeutic options to overcome these problems. Hydrogels are widely used in biomedical tissue repairing as a platform for loading drugs, proteins and stem cells. In recent years, smart-responsive hydrogels have achieved excellent results as novel drug delivery systems in the treatment of osteoarthritis. This review focuses on the recent advances of endogenous stimuli (including enzymes, pH, reactive oxygen species and temperature, etc.) responsive hydrogels and exogenous stimuli (including light, shear, ultrasound and magnetism, etc.) responsive hydrogels in osteoarthritis treatment. Finally, the current limitations of application and future prospects of smart responsive hydrogels are summarized.
