The problems of memory in the philosophical tradition of Antiquity
Authors: Babaeva A. V. , Makarova A. O. , Shmeleva N. V.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of actualization of the phenomenon of memory in the tradition of Ancient thought. Despite the genuine interest in the politics and techniques of memory, recollection and oblivion at the end of the twentieth century, the ancient tradition of interpreting the concept of "memory" rarely becomes an independent subject of detailed consideration by researchers. Modern authors from various fields of knowledge often mention Aristotle as the originator of the concept of memory, but such references are rather a "common place", a tribute to tradition, rather than a serious analysis. The study of the achievements of ancient authors opens the way for readers to study the problems of the work of consciousness, the general concept of time, and also creates the ground for the analysis of a wide range of epistemological problems. In this regard, the reconstruction undertaken in this article of the author's most important concepts of memory in antiquity aims not only to explain the meaning of phraseological units, such as "to fall to the source", but also to demonstrate the importance of ancient concepts for the modern understanding of the phenomenon, in particular, the understanding of memory as a specific characteristic of personality. The authors of this article proceed from the thesis that ancient Greek thinkers saw in memory the main property that distinguishes a person from other beings.
The dialectic of freedom in the game space
Authors: Babanova A. I.
Published: January 2024

By the dialectic of freedom, we understand the internal contradiction and interaction of opposite terms describing the game reality. At first glance, play and freedom are two incompatible phenomena. A game is a form of activity in which the subject adheres to the rules to achieve a goal. Freedom is a category that defines the borderline status of things. We will put forward the opposite thesis: it is within the limits of the game space that free will is formed.This issue is becoming relevant due to the growing popularity of the field of video games and game design. With the development of digital technologies, people began to spend more time in virtual space, and relax and chat in video games. A video game is a digital product in which anthropological qualities are clearly expressed – in the game, the goal and actions are built around the player and for the player.Since the game is a cultural creation of man, it cannot do without the participation of freedom. Freedom is a person's spiritual footprint in the game space. Moreover, the idea of freedom is already embedded in the essence of the game: a person's natural desire to overcome boundaries and himself. Can a game space reflect genuine human freedom?

Authors: Toliupa Serhii , Samokhvalov Yurii , Khusainov Pavlo , Shtanenko Serhii
Published: January 2024

The article proposes an approach to determine the technical condition of the terminal components of the technological system, the basis of which are microprocessor systems implemented on software-reconfigurable logic. The existing methods and methods of testing programmable logic integrated circuits are analyzed, the shortcomings and advantages are revealed. It has been proven that the most effective method of using self-diagnosis schemes is BIST — Built-Inself-Test, which in the future can become the basis for monitoring and diagnosing microprocessor systems implemented on a software-reconfigurable element base. The existing methods of determining the technical condition of microprocessor systems implemented on large/very large integrated circuits with rigid architecture are considered, and the mathematical basis of their technical diagnosis is presented. In order to increase the cyber resistance of the terminal components of the technological system, it is proposed to use programmable logic integrated circuits as an element base, which are able to change the internal algorithmic structure by reprogramming as a result of cyber incidents and cyber attacks. At the same time, the reconfiguration of the algorithmic structure of the microprocessor system on the basis of program-reconfigurable logic is proposed to be carried out based on the results of self-diagnosis, that is, by using a diagnostic system with elements of artificial intelligence, which implements the BIST — Built-Inself-Test method. It is assumed that the synergy of the microprocessor system and the diagnostic system with elements of artificial intelligence will allow the implementation of the principle of active fault tolerance (cyber resilience), which consists in the detection and localization of malfunctions (response to cyber incidents and cyber attacks), as well as the restoration of the correct functioning of the terminal components of the technological system by reconfiguring their internal algorithmic structure according to the results of self-diagnosis.

Authors: Shevchenko Svitlana , Zhdanovа Yuliia , Skladannyi Pavlo , Boiko Sofia
Published: January 2024

The increase in the number and complexity of cyber threats forces us to study not only the technical aspects of cyber security, but also the social and interaction between participants in the digital space. The game-theoretic approach opens up opportunities for a deeper understanding of emerging conflicts and the development of effective management strategies to ensure cyber security. In this context, it is important to investigate how game theory can be applied to the analysis of conflicts in cyberspace and what practical conclusions can be drawn for the improvement of cyber security systems as a whole, which determined the relevance and importance of this work. Based on the scientific literature, a review of various approaches to the application of game theory in information and cyber security systems was carried out. The main concepts of the concept of game theory are highlighted, such as player, strategy, winning and losing, which allows to structure and understand interactions in security systems. The most common types of games from the point of view of information security management are characterized: maximin equilibrium, Nash equilibrium, Pareto-optimal situations, Stackelberg equilibrium. A formal description of the game model in conflict conditions and a mechanism for applying game theory to modeling decisions in conflict situations in security systems have been developed. The subject area of the game of the conflict situation is presented for each of the “subject-subject” levels: the level of the individual (criminal — user); business level (internal and/or external violator — company manager); state level (violators/hackers — state institutions, state officials); the level of international relations (states, a group of subjects/hackers — institutions and/or political leaders of another state). Specific scenarios for managing conflict situations in security systems using a game-theoretic approach are proposed. The results of the research can be used in the practice of solving conflict situations in organizations, serve for the development of software on this problem, and also as educational material for students of the specialty 125 Cybersecurity and information protection.
GENERATION OF PSEUDORANDOM SEQUENCES ON MICROCONTROLLERS WITH LIMITED COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES, ENTROPY SOURCES, AND STATISTICAL PROPERTIES TESTING
Authors: Chernenko Roman
Published: January 2024

Traditional encryption algorithms cannot be implemented on Internet of Things (IoT) devices due to their constrained computational resources. This necessitates the search and development of cryptographic solutions for securing data processed and transmitted by such devices. When encrypting data on devices with limited computational resources, simple encryption algorithms based on elementary bitwise operations, such as bitwise modulo-2 addition (XOR), can be utilized since these operations execute in a single processor cycle and do not require complex computations. However, a drawback of such operations is their invertibility—knowing the encryption key enables easy decryption by applying the same operation to the ciphertext. Ensuring the reliability of such ciphers requires continuous generation of random encryption keys.This work explores the functionality of the linear congruential method for generating sequences of random numbers. Several entropy sources available on microcontrollers are presented for the initial generator value, along with proposed algorithms for collecting initial data from these sources. The use of noise from unconnected pins of the analog-to-digital converter is suggested as the primary entropy source, while the uninitialized area of the microcontroller’s random-access memory serves as an additional source. A method for generating random sequences using the specified entropy sources is implemented and the algorithm’s performance is evaluated, specifically the key characteristic—randomness of the encryption key. The NIST STS 800-22 test suite is employed for evaluation. In all tests, the random sequence generation algorithm demonstrated results confirming the hypothesis that the sequence can be considered random.

Authors: Öztürk Ali
Published: January 2024

Modern tıbbi yaklaşımlar, biyolojik sistematiklerle birçok şeyi açıklamaya çalıştılar. Bunu yaparken de haklı gerekçeleri vardı. Zira başta insan olmak üzre organizma temelli varlıkların anlaşılmasında özelikle batılı toplumlar başta
olmak üzre ilkel ve klasik toplumlarda çok karmaşık, metaforik ve hurafe değeri yüksek yaklaşımlar vardı. Fakat bu eleştirel yaklaşım ve yaklaşımlar çoğu zaman insanı ve diğer biyolojik unsurları oldukça indirgemeci bir biçimde
izah etmeye yöneltti. Ama zamanla daha iyi anladık ki insan çok yönlü bir varlık ve biyolojik işleyişi dahi sadece kendi mekanizmasıyla açıklanamayacak karmaşık nitelikleri var. Bu çalışma insanın psikolojik özeliklerinin ve sapmalarının
metabolizma üzerindeki etkisini ve metabolizmadaki sapmaların psikolojik davranışlar üzerindeki karşılıklı etkisini anlamaya yönelik olarak metabolizma ve psikososyal etkileri ele almaya çalışan teorik ve mukayeseli bir çalışmadır;
bu bağlamda yer yer meta-analiz tekniklerinden de faydalanılmıştır.

Published: January 2024

More than 2 million people are diagnosed with lung cancer every year, and around 1.8 million people lose their lives to this disease. Previous research has linked oxidative stress to the lung cancer. Aim: The aim of this study is to
determine the relationship between total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), serum copper (Cu), selenium (Se), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with lung cancer. Material-Method:
The 123 participants included 45 people with lung cancer (LC), 42 with LC who had also had chemotherapy (LC+CT), and 36 who became controls. After obtaining venous blood samples, we analyzed them to determine the serum concentrations
of CRP, Cu, Se TAS, TOS, and OSI. Results: The OSI, which was derived from TAS and TOS levels, was significantly higher in the LC and LC+CT groups compared to the control group (p<0.01). In addition, the OSI was significantly
higher in the LC group than in the LC+CT group. Serum Cu and CRP levels were statistically significantly higher in the LC and LC+CT groups than in the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the LC and
LC+CT groups. Furthermore, the groups had no statistically significant difference in Se levels (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The significantly higher OSI and Cu levels in the LC group suggest that Cu may be associated with oxidative
stress and play a role in lung cancer pathogenesis.

Published: January 2024

Chicken feather waste, after being finely chopped, is converted into feather panels which can be an alternative material in architecture. Chicken slaughter waste produces 4-9% of live weight in the form of feathers, requiring technology to make it a renewable alternative material. This research aims to process chicken feather waste into alternative materials for room dividers and building walls, reducing environmental impacts. Scanning is carried out to analyze the surface characteristics of the panels before they are applied as environmentally friendly materials. Previous research recorded a chicken feather panel density of 0.38-0.4, categorizing it as a soft stiff fiberboard material. Experimental engineering methods and material scanning in the microstructure laboratory using SEM reveal surface topography and material composition. The test results show that chicken feather panels can be recommended as a new alternative material in architecture. This discovery has the potential to use chicken feather waste in a sustainable manner, providing an environmentally friendly alternative and reducing the burden on the environment. The integration of these materials can enrich innovation in sustainable construction.

Authors: Kalashnik A.I. , Dyakov A.Y.
Published: January 2024

The application of georadar surveys is described as a non-destructive, giving a detailed continuous (profile) picture, method for studying the internal structure and water saturation of mining structures. Examples of surveys of specific objects of large mining enterprises in the western part of the Arctic are given. It is shown that the electromagnetic field induced by the georadar is distorted in areas where the physical properties of rocks and soils differ (heterogeneities, increased fracturing, tectonic disturbances, faults, zones of increased water saturation, etc.). The key parameter of georadar sounding is determined, which is the intensity of wave field distortion, determined by the contrast (ratio) of the physical properties of rocks, spatial orientation and depth of heterogeneity. Based on this, structural features of the rocks of the Zhelezny quarry JSC “Kovdorsky GOK”, the mine Vostochny KF of JSC «Apatit», etc. were revealed. Hidden tectonic faults and heterogeneities of the massif, which pose a potential danger to mining operations and industrial facilities, were identified and traced. On the basis of long-term monitoring georadar surveys of the enclosing dams of the tailings of Kovdorsky GOK JSC, Kola Mining and Metallurgical Plant JSC, Oleniy Ruchey Mining and Processing Complex of NWPC, OLCON JSC, patterns of formation of filtration-deformation processes were established. For the Oleniy Ruchey mine, quality assessments were made for the construction of tailings dams, concrete foundations for mills, and railway loading and unloading terminals. On the island of Svalbard, georadar surveys have clarified the upper boundary of frozen rocks under the site of the thermal power plant of Arktikugol JSC.

The excessive cutting force that is generated in the end milling process of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites can lower the surface quality. Hence, it is necessary to select the correct levels of end milling parameters to minimize the cutting force (CF) and surface roughness (SR). The parameters of the end milling process comprised the depth of cut (doc), spindle speed (n), and feeding speed (Vf). This study emphasized on the modeling and minimization of both CF and SR in the end milling of GFRP combo fabric by combining backpropagation neural network (BPNN) method and firefly algorithm (FA). The FA based BPNN was first performed to model the end-milling process and predict CF and SR. It was later also executed to obtain the best combination of end-milling parameter levels that would provide minimum CF and SR. The outcome of the confirmation experiments disclosed that the integration of BPNN and FA managed to accurately predict and substantially enhance the multi-objective characteristics

The parameters of the end milling process comprised the depth of cut (doc), spindle speed (n), and feeding speed (Vf). This study emphasized on the modeling and minimization of both CF and SR in the end milling of GFRP combo fabric by combining backpropagation neural network (BPNN) method and firefly algorithm (FA). The FA based BPNN was first performed to model the end-milling process and predict CF and SR. It was later also executed to obtain the best combination of end-milling parameter levels that would provide minimum CF and SR. The outcome of the confirmation experiments disclosed that the integration of BPNN and FA managed to accurately predict and substantially enhance the multi-objective characteristics.

The present study focuses on the physical properties of Sarawak peat soil and identifies the correlation between the index properties of peat from the present study and various locations in Malaysia. The physical properties of peat from the present study were obtained on site and in the laboratory, including degree of humification, moisture content, organic content, fibre content, specific gravity, liquid limit, linear shrinkage, and pH. The data obtained in this study and other tropical peats in Malaysia were compiled to identify their correlations. The correlation results reveal that with an increase in organic content, there is also an increase in value of moisture content, while the value of specific gravity reduces. Furthermore, as the bulk density of peat increases, the value of organic content reduces. Also, the moisture content, organic content, and fibre content of peat decrease with the increasing value of degree of humification. The correlations between different peat soil index properties have R2values ranging from 0.75 to 0.85, showing that the peat soil index properties are consistent with findings from previous studies, in which comparable trends are found. Thus, these correlations are expected to be useful for researchers and engineers to understand the peat soil's preliminary behaviour.

Subsurface stormwatermodule is one of the components of a sustainable drainage system. However, the performance of subsurface stormwater module as on-site detention under tropical climate like Malaysia has not been extensively studied in the literature. The current study involves on-site installation of pilot scale subsurface stormwater modules exposed to tropical climate to simulate real conditions to evaluate the detention performance. Rainfall together with the changes in water level and volume of water detained in the installation were observed for six months between April 2021 to October 2021. The subsurface stormwater module used in the current study has a porosity of 94%. It was found that the subsurface stormwater module setup was able to detain between 35.2% to 95.6% of the rainfall volume generated from total rainfall between 11.1 mm to 56.8 mm. The findings can be used as design consideration for using subsurface stormwater module under tropical climate.

There is an increasing interest in living walls in the urban environment, particularly when linked into green infrastructure for urban heat island mitigation. However, the social acceptance of such systems in Australia is largely untested. To address this knowledge gap, a survey of nineteen local government authorities and twentyliving wall owners and managers was conducted. The survey participants included commercial and residential buildings. The survey was used to study living wall owners’ motivations and expectations of living walls as well as the social values attached to the installed infrastructure. This study related the experiences of living wall owners to the current technical knowledge of living walls and contextualised the benefits and costs of living walls for Australian homes and buildings within the public attitudes and motivations for installing such infrastructure. The survey found that social acceptance and the aesthetic values placed on living walls and greenery more broadly represented a substantial advantage for living walls.

The research is led to the development of a smart sensory network adaptive traffic light to optimise traffic flow and reduce congestion on Jalan Persisiran Seri Alam in Pasir Gudang. With variable time management, this system can reduce the time spent at traffic junctions and carbon emitted by vehicles, thus supporting the SDG 11 for low carbon smart city. By integrating the dynamic duration of each traffic signal on each dense pathway, this system can help to reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions. It can also ensure that traffic is managed in a more efficient manner, thus improving the quality of life for the people of Pasir Gudang. The success of this system will be a major step towards achieving the goal of a low carbon smart city, as it will help to reduce air pollution, noise pollution, and improve road safety. Additionally, it can help to improve the efficiency of traffic flow, leading to better traffic management and reduced congestion.

Construction projects have long been plagued with issues of delays, over budget and poor quality. One of the main factors that have been associated with the common issues is material acquisition, with delays in the arrival of material, poor material quality, materials that do not comply with the required specification, unavailability of required construction materials, damaged materials, loss of construction materials sent to site, theft and vandalism. Even though construction material acquisition is an arising problem in the industry, the studies conducted in this area is still scarce. Previous studies have mainly focused on isolated subjects in material acquisition, rather than the entire spectrum on the subject matter. Therefore, this study aims to establish the improvement strategies for construction material acquisition from the human relationships perspective. A quantitative questionnaire was sent to the respondents via email, personally distributed to the contractor’s office, WhatsApp's application and google form to 1200 active contractor that have been registered with CIDB Malaysia under grade G7. The respondents were limited to purposive sampling criteria which have been determined earlier. Based on the data from 286 questionnaires, findings in this research were structured and analysed using descriptive statistical analysis (mean, standard deviation and frequency) with the aid of SPSS24 software. Finding from the results revealed that the improvement of human relationship was critical to improve construction material acquisition hence, addressing urgent issues including long term relationship such as trust, experience, and responsiveness, clearly understand the client’s needs and objectives, establish strategic partnership with suppliers and long-term resources commitment achieved the highest percentage from respondents. Finally, the study on the impact of human relationships to material acquisition in construction projects can be used as a guidance to enhance the construction material acquisition approach for contractors undertaking projects in Malaysia.

Construction work is widely regarded as an accident-prone industry, with hazards and dangers that have the potential to cause numerous injuries or even deaths. Thus, building an accident-free construction environment constitutes one of the core concerns of the industry in achieving sustainable construction. Occupational fatal accidents statistics investigated by Department of Occupational Safety and Health indicate that the construction industry documented the highest number of fatalities from 2015 to 2021. In order to determine the correlation between unsafe acts (UAs) and unsafe conditions (UCs) for accident causes, this study analyses the causes of fatal accidents at Johor construction sites using the categorization developed by the Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency. The data was analysedusing the SPSS software application, with a chi-square and lambda test to determine the significant combinations by determining the relationship between UAs and UCs. Other than that, this study explored and improved the understanding of UAs and UCs of accidents at construction sites. This will be more helpful for preventing accidents at construction sites. A study in a larger scope and using more detailed data would be helpful in future studies.
