Impact of Sarcopenia on Decline in Quality of Life in Older People with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Umegaki Hiroyuki , Suzuki Yusuke , Komiya Hitoshi , Watanabe Kazuhisa , Nagae Masaaki , Yamada Yosuke
Published: May 2022

Quality of life (QOL) was assessed using the EQ-5D twice in 1 year in 57 older community-dwelling people (age 79.1±5.9 years) with mild cognitive impairment in a memory clinic. Screening for sarcopenia at the initial assessment revealed 40.1% of participants (23/57) were sarcopenic. QOL declined in 33.3% of participants (19/57) after around 1 year. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that sarcopenia was associated with a decline in QOL around 1 year after initial assessment. Sarcopenia may be a risk factor for decline in QOL in older people with mild cognitive impairment.

Published: May 2022

Driven by the cloud-first initiative taken by various governments and companies, it has become a common practice to outsource spatial data to cloud servers for a wide range of applications such as location-based services and geographic information systems. Searchable encryption is a common practice for outsourcing spatial data which enables search over encrypted data by sacrificing the full security via leaking some information about the queries to the server. However, these inherent leakages could equip the server to learn beyond what is considered in the scheme, in the worst-case allowing it to reconstruct of the database. Recently, a novel form of database reconstruction attack against such kind of outsourced spatial data was introduced (Markatou and Tamassia, IACR ePrint 2020/284), which is performed using common leakages of searchable encryption schemes, i.e., access and search pattern leakages. An access pattern leakage is utilized to achieve an order reconstruction attack, whereas both access and search pattern leakages are exploited for the full database reconstruction attack. In this paper, we propose two novel schemes for outsourcing encrypted spatial data supporting dynamic range search. Our proposed schemes leverage R+tree to partition the dataset and binary secret sharing to support secure range search. They further provide backward and content privacy and do not leak the access pattern, therefore being resilient against the above mentioned database reconstruction attacks. The evaluations and results on the real-world dataset demonstrate the practicality of our schemes, due to (a) the minimal round-trip between the client and server, and (b) the low computation and storage overhead on the client side.
Research on source-load coordinated dispatching of flexible DC distribution network based on big data
Authors: Suo Lian , Liu Guangchen
Published: May 2022

In this new round of power network development, the concept of coordinated and optimized operation of power network interconnection and smart grid “source network load” has gradually attracted attention. Based on the analysis of the impact of the flexible DC distribution network on the complex energy system with multiple data sources and large data volume under the big data platform, the coordinated dispatching of the source and load of the big data flexible DC distribution network is studied. Therefore, a source-load matching index that can evaluate the impact of different types of loads on the stability of the flexible DC grid is constructed and incorporated into the load recovery optimization model. First, use the scene reduction method to process all generated scenes; next, take the reduction technology and the scene generation method into account of the uncertainty caused by the prediction error and incorporate them into the multi-objective function optimization model; finally, the membership function of fuzzy numbers is used to model uncertainty. So as to construct a load recovery model that can coordinate the load recovery amount, importance and system dynamic response. The actual meaning of the matching index is explained through model solving and actual case analysis.
A Novel fuzzy based user pairing and cuckoo search optimization approach for small cell deployment in NOMA-HetNet
Authors: Anu Disney D. , Merline A.
Published: May 2022

Recently, Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) are concentrated more in order to improve transmission coverage and spectrum efficiency. When compared to HetNet, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is used to allow multiple users to share the same frequency band resource. Moreover, cross-tier links are improved in realistic HetNets due to channel delay and random perturbation. In this research, a fuzzy logic-based user association and pairing was proposed to improve the system robustness and energy utilization. Here, fuzzy logic overcomes the limitations of traditional channel-based and gain-based pairing schemes. The proposed fuzzy logic-based system evaluates distance, channel gain, and reference signal power for mode selection and enhances pairing features. Nature-inspired cuckoo search optimization is also used to improve coverage probability, feasible rate, and energy efficiency by optimizing the path loss, transmit power, and distance between user and base station. The proposed model analysis is carried out through intense simulation to demonstrate improved performance when compared to conventional state-of-the-art techniques.

Published: May 2022

Background The impact of age at autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMDR) onset on progression to loss of ambulation (LOA) has not been well established, particularly by subtype. Objectives: To describe the characteristics of patients with adult-, late childhood-, and early childhood-onset LGMDR by subtype and characterize the frequency and timing of LOA. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane library. Frequency and timing of LOA in patients with LGMDR1, LGMDR2/Miyoshi myopathy (MM), LGMDR3-6, LGMDR9, and LGMDR12 were synthesized from published data. Results: In 195 studies, 695 (43.4%) patients had adult-, 532 (33.2%) had late childhood-, and 376 (23.5%) had early childhood-onset of disease across subtypes among those with a reported age at onset (n = 1,603); distribution of age at onset varied between subtypes. Among patients with LOA (n = 228), adult-onset disease was uncommon in LGMDR3-6 (14%) and frequent in LGMDR2/MM (42%); LGMDR3-6 cases with LOA primarily had early childhood-onset (74%). Mean (standard deviation [SD]) time to LOA varied between subtypes and was shortest for patients with early childhood-onset LGMDR9 (12.0 [4.9] years, n = 19) and LGMDR3-6 (12.3 [10.7], n = 56) and longest for those with late childhood-onset LGMDR2/MM (21.4 [11.5], n = 36). Conclusions: This review illustrated that patients with early childhood-onset disease tend to have faster progression to LOA than those with late childhood- or adult-onset disease, particularly in LGMDR9. These findings provide a greater understanding of progression to LOA by LGMDR subtype, which may help inform clinical trial design and provide a basis for natural history studies.
Physical exercise for people with mild traumatic brain injury: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Vuu Sally , Barr Christopher J. , Killington Maggie , Jill Garner , van den Berg Maayken E.L.
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Recent research recommends physical exercise rather than rest following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of physical exercise on persistent symptoms in people with mTBI. METHODS: A search of randomized controlled trials was conducted in CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, SportDiscus and Web of Science, from 2010 to January 2021. Studies were included if they described the effects of a physical exercise intervention in people with mTBI on persistent symptoms. Study quality, intervention reporting, and confidence in review findings were assessed with the CASP, TIDieR and GRADE respectively. RESULTS: 11 eligible studies were identified for inclusion. Study interventions broadly comprised of two categories of physical exercise, i.e., aerobic (n = 8) and vestibular (n = 3). A meta-analysis (n = 3) revealed the aerobic exercise group improvement was significantly larger compared to the usual care group –0.39 (95% CI: –0.73 to –0.05, p = 0.03). Only three studies using vestibular exercise reported on persistent symptoms and yielded mixed results. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the use of aerobic exercise is supported by mixed quality evidence and moderate certainty of evidence, yet there is limited evidence for the use of vestibular exercise for improving persistent symptoms in people with mTBI.
Comparison of wrought and additively manufactured IN718 concerning crack growth threshold and fatigue crack growth behaviour
Authors: Brune Timo , Kraemer Karl Michael , Kontermann Christian , Oechsner Matthias
Published: May 2022

Rotary components in turbine machinery such as gas turbine blades and discs or turbocharger wheels need to be designed so that high cycle fatigue (HCF) loads are well below the fatigue endurance limit to ensure safe operation. This requires an accurate measurement of the fatigue endurance limit and the related intrinsic fatigue crack growth (FCG) threshold. Furthermore, knowing the FCG threshold is crucial in order to assess the criticality of initial defects (e.g. cavities, carbide nests, etc.). In this study, the influence of the manufacturing route on the FCG threshold and the FCG behaviour at 650 °C in air of the nickel based superalloy IN718 is investigated. For this, a per Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process manufactured version is compared to a conventionally wrought IN718 material state, both in the short and long crack regime. To measure crack growth increments of about 1 μm, an alternative pre-cracking and threshold test procedure is proposed for high temperature testing. To assess the behaviour of both material states in the short crack growth regime, cyclic R-curves have been generated taking the influence of two different R ratios into account. A further comparison of the FCG behaviour of the LPBF and the wrought material state is made on the basis of da/dN-ΔKI plots, with a focus on the Paris regime created from both classical FCG tests as well as continued threshold tests. The results observed are discussed in relation to the initial characterization of the two material states, which includes tensile tests at room temperature and at 650 °C as well as microstructural investigations.
Understanding DCPD signal changes when monitoring creep damage in metals
Authors: Wojcik A. , Santos A.S. , Waitt M. , Shibli A.
Published: May 2022

The electrical potential drop (EPD) technique has previously shown promising results using a combination of AC and DC EPD (or DCPD) on large pressure vessel creep tests, detecting final cracking as well as incipient creep cavitation damage in welded P91 steel, with DCPD showing subtle but steady rises of around 5% over ca 10,000 h of testing before rising exponentially at failure. The work presented here has attempted to shed light upon this using a simple numerical model. The model uses an array of spherical cavities to constrain the current path and hence raise the DCPD, however it was only able to show a modest rise in DCPD, and not match experimentally determined rises. Modelled DCPD values were a fifth of those experimentally observed, but both the nature of the model (simplified to aid timely computation) and the assumption that only cavitation is responsible for the changes seen, could be the reason for the discrepancies reported here. The possibility remains that other mechanisms are at play, which could magnify the measured DCPD – particularly those mechanisms that could be associated with embryonic or micro-crack formation, and these are discussed herein.
Towards occupational resilience: A model to facilitate high school participation post traumatic brain injury
Authors: Jacobs-Nzuzi Khuabi Lee-Ann Juliana , Swart Estelle , Soeker Mogammad Shaheed
Published: May 2022

Background: This article describes the model components of a study that applied a two-phased approach towards the development of an occupational resilience model. OBJECTIVE: The occupational therapy practice model that is proposed seeks to facilitate high school re-entry and school participation post traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study’s first phase generated results on participants’ experiences of high school re-entry and school participation post TBI. These findings contributed to the second phase of developing a practice model to improve upon school transition practice for learners post TBI. METHODS: The study’s first phase comprised a qualitative multi-case study of eight cases. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, participant and contextual observation, and document analysis. Data analysis was performed via an inductive process combined with cross-case synthesis. Phase 2 employed theory generation, suggesting an occupational therapy practice model for facilitating high school participation post TBI. RESULTS: Participant responses revealed, following the onset of the TBI, a need for adolescents to display resilience in order to re-participate in school. This was displayed by adolescents adapting through drawing upon personal and environmental resources as well as preparing for and engaging in occupation. CONCLUSION: A deeper understanding of the experiences of key role players involved in the school transition post TBI, combined with theory generation, formed the basis of developing the proposed model of occupational resilience. Occupational resilience, through a series of resilience-promoting tasks, is offered as a mechanism to increase learners’ capacity to adapt to occupational challenges and meaningfully participate in school post TBI.
The modifying role of major cardiovascular risk factors in the association between retirement and cardiovascular disease: Results from SHARE Portugal
Authors: Sousa-Uva Mafalda , Fonseca António Manuel , Nunes Baltazar , Sousa-Uva António , Rodrigues Ana Paula , Matias-Dias Carlos
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Despite the actual demographic trends and the global burden of cardiovascular diseases, there is little knowledge concerning the effects of retirement on this health outcome. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to quantify the associations between retirement, and retirement age, with cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) in the Portuguese population. METHODS: We used data from the first Portuguese wave of the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe. Logistic regression was applied to quantify the associations. The major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and several features of retirement were considered as possible confounders or effect modifiers. Analysis was restricted to retirees in retirement process (retired for 5 years or less) and not retired because of illness. RESULTS: An opposite direction of the association between retirement and heart disease was observed according to hypertension status, although not significant. Early retirement increased the odds of having a stroke, merely in individuals without heart disease (OR = 8.87; 95% CI 1.63–48.26). On the contrary, in individuals with heart disease, decreased the odds of having a stroke (OR = 0.08; 95% CI 0.01–0.68). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that retirement and retirement age may be beneficial or harmful, respectively, in the presence or absence of major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. We suggest that work-related stress affecting differently workers with and without these risk factors may eventually explain these findings.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Persons with disabilities are at risk for unemployment with negative long-term consequences. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the process and outcomes of a novel vocational rehabilitation (VR) program based on the concept of mentorship. METHODS: Observational, retrospective study including unemployed young adults with acquired brain injury (ABI) taking part in a VR program including assessment, training, individual counselling and mentor support from volunteering professionals. Adherence to the program and work status were registered and at follow-up all patients were invited to complete a general questionnaire and EuroQol 5D. RESULTS: 49 patients started the program, with 41 completing the follow-up. Median age was 31 years and 19 were male. Median duration of the program was 8 months. At follow-up, 9 patients had acquired paid employment, 7 with the support of a mentor; 6 of whom were bothered by health problems at work. Nine patients left the program prematurely, with insufficient financial support for continuation being the primary reason for withdrawal (n = 6). CONCLUSIONS: A VR program including a mentor may be a promising program for patients who are unemployed at onset of ABI. Lack of financial support to complete the program and concurrent health problems were found to hamper the process and outcomes of the program, respectively.
Identification of the return-to-work mode in unemployed workers with mental health issues: A focus group study among occupational health professionals
Authors: Suijkerbuijk Yvonne , Nieuwenhuijsen Karen
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Return-to-work (RTW) perceptions and attitudes are predictive for future work participation in workers with mental health issues. OBJECTIVE: To identify what RTW perceptions and attitudes occupational health professionals recognize in sick-listed unemployed workers with mental health issues and how these perceptions and attitudes can be systematically assessed. METHODS: Four focus group sessions, each involving five-six different occupational health professionals, were held. The audio records were transcribed verbatim and coded by two researchers independently. A thematic analysis was conducted. RESULTS: Professionals recognized RTW perceptions and attitudes in sick-listed unemployed workers with mental health issues. These perceptions and attitudes were described as characteristics of three modes in a process regarding RTW: the passive, ambivalent and active RTW mode. A passive RTW mode includes perceptions about not being able to work and an expectant attitude. The ambivalent RTW mode is characterized by uncertainty and ambivalence regarding RTW with a desire for occupational support. Workers in an active RTW mode have positive RTW perceptions and show job search behavior. A main theme was the flexible nature of RTW attitudes and perceptions, with workers switching between the passive, ambivalent and active RTW modes. For the assessment of the RTW mode, the professionals preferred personal contact, possibly with support of a tool. This enables them to ask specific questions and to observe non-verbal signs. CONCLUSIONS: Recurring assessments of the RTW mode can be helpful in identifying unemployed workers with mental health issues at risk of long-term sickness absence and for starting targeted RTW interventions.
An innovative sit-standing seat in urban buses: A new design to prevent falls and non-collision injuries
Authors: Zakerian Seyed Abolfazl , Masjoodi Sadegh , Makkiabadi Bahador , Arabian Ali
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Due to the rapid growth of metropolises and the insufficiency of public transportation, nowadays, many people travel on these vehicles in a standing position. This position leads to discomfort and the risk of falling or non-collision incidents for the passengers. OBJECTIVE: The present study was conducted to analyze an innovative sit-standing seat to prevent falls and non-collision injuries in standing passengers. METHODS: A total of sixteen participated in this study. EMG signal and Borg scale were used to assess muscle activity and discomfort, respectively. RESULTS: The mean Borg scale score for perceived discomfort was lower in the sit-standing position than the standing position in all body organs, except for the hips. Also, in the sit-standing position compared to the standing position, the muscle activity of the soleus and medial gastrocnemius muscles was significantly lower in the constant velocity and entire phases in both legs, lower in the right leg in the acceleration phase and lower in the left leg in the deceleration phase. CONCLUSIONS: So, this seat can be used as an innovative idea to improve the ergonomic condition of standing passengers to prevent falls and non-collision injuries on transit buses.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Remote work was evidenced in the pandemic and studies in this area increased. Most studies focus on professionals of companies or professors/students in the academic environment. At the same time, non-academic staff, that provide all the support required for the core activities of the institutions (research/teaching/extension activities) have been neglected. OBJECTIVE: This article aims to exploratory analyse which variables (interruptions when working remotely (1), health concerns (2) and fear of contracting coronavirus (3), anxiety and concern about professional career (4), frustration to have cancelled plans and missed opportunities (5) and gender (6)) can impact feelings of sadness and depression experienced by non-academic staff of a university working remotely. METHODS: Using a database on behaviour and feelings of non-academic staff from a Brazilian university working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, a binary logistic regression model was structured. In an exploratory manner, six independent variables (presented in the previous item) were analysed in terms of their ability to predict the dependent variable (feelings of sadness and depression). RESULTS: The results presented the prediction power of the independent variables for the dependent variable. The variables regarding concern with their health, increased anxiety and concern about their career presented Odds Ratios of 3.6 (1.4–8.5 –95% C.I.) and 3.3 (2.2–5.0 –95% C.I.), respectively, standing out from the other variables. CONCLUSIONS: These results focus on staff at one institution, but they can contribute to better understand feelings and behaviours experienced by professionals working remotely and provide information for debates on the field of COVID-19-related changes of work.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: As millions of teachers have been forced to rely upon remote teaching due to the closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is particularly important to understand the extent to which teacher’s psychological wellbeing has been affected by this global health crisis. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis was twofold: 1) ascertain the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression among teachers during the COVID-19 outbreak; 2) identify the associated factors of these psychological wellbeing domains of the teachers. METHODS: Academic Search Premier, Eric, PsycInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for articles published from December 2019 and July 2021, using search terms including “COVID-19” “anxiety” “depression” “stress”, and “teachers”. RESULTS: This study included 54 studies synthesising data from 256,896 teachers across 22 countries. The meta-analysis showed higher prevalence of stress (62.6%, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 46.1–76.6), compared to anxiety (36.3%, 95% CI: 28.5–44.9) and depression (59.9%, 95% CI: 43.4–74.4) among teachers. Teachers’ experiences of these psychological issues were associated with various socio-demographic and institutional factors, including gender, nature of online teaching, job satisfaction, teaching experience, and the volume of workload. Additionally, several protective factors, such as regular exercises and provision of technical support for online teaching, reduced teachers’ negative psychological experiences. CONCLUSION: There is a need for authorities to formulate educational policies to improve teachers’ wellbeing at the time of global crisis. Special attention should be paid to assist female teachers in overcoming physical and mental stressors.

Предположения теоретической поддержки хапкидо тесно связаны с влиянием соседних восточных народов, особенно Индии и Китая. Общая цель этой статьи — представить краткую историю этого корейского боевого искусства и его основателей. Конкретные цели состоят в том, чтобы подчеркнуть важность боевых техник в наше время и их вклад в развитие человеческого потенциала. Применяемая методология основывалась на систематическом обзоре авторов по этому вопросу в Бразилии, Корее и США. Результаты показали, что притеснения, от которых корейский народ страдал на протяжении всей своей истории, были основными причинами того, что это боевое искусство было хорошо организовано и целостно. Хапкидо доказало свою значимость в росте великих наций, в обучении инструкторов и подготовке бойцов и комбатантов в вооруженных силах путем поощрения и развития дисциплины, порядка и социального взаимодействия. Таким образом, делается вывод о необходимости научно-технической оценки, связывающей это боевое искусство непосредственно с философией, психологией, физической культурой и спортивной медициной, с практическими приложениями для общества и специализированных сообществ на всех континентах, особенно для профессионалов.

A paisagem, enquanto categoria de análise geográfica, reflete a interface e a representação visual dos elementos sociais e ambientais. Este estudo trata de uma investigação em torno das concepções acerca do termo paisagem, alicerçado em questões de ordem teórico-epistemológica e, no processo de sistematização desse conceito aliado ao desenvolvimento do pensamento geográfico. Sob uma perspectiva orientada ao contexto didático-pedagógico tem como principal objetivo analisar como estes conceitos operacionais da Geografia voltados para o campo acadêmico-cientí­fico são transpostos para o ensino básico, especificamente, o conceito de paisagem. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo consistiu em uma abordagem de cunho qualitativo, de natureza descritivo-interpretativa, com base em análise bibliográfica e documental. Para tanto, realizou-se pesquisas bibliográficas, consultas no documento normativo da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e, a análise de 10 livros didáticos, distribuí­dos desde as séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental II até o Ensino Médio. A análise aqui proposta encaminhou-nos à reflexão sobre os desafios que se colocam face à prática docente, como a articulação que o professor deve estabelecer entre os diversos horizontes epistemológicos concernentes a este conceito já consolidado em conjunto aos conhecimentos prévios trazidos pelos educandos do seu cotidiano e, a abordagem insuficiente da paisagem nos livros didáticos.

Coviderrida: The Pandemic in Deconstructive Philosophy
Authors: Al-Khafaji Areej
Published: May 2022

Because the pandemic has kept the world busy in the last two years, a revival of Derrida's writings on biology is an urgent prerequisite today. The tsunamic invasion of the Coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic took more than two million lives and thousands are still being tested positive as I write. The speed of the virus and the seeming human inability to stop its spread necessitates a study on the relationship between Covid-19 and Derrida's deconstructive philosophy. Hence the portmanteau Coviderrida – inspired by Hélène Cixous’ ‘ derridevilishly’ ( Cixous 2004 , 16) – attempts to demonstrate how the pathogen operates as an event or (im) possibility to which Derrida's neologisms ‘différance’, ‘supplement’, ‘trace’, ‘archi-writing’, and ‘text’ testify. The main concern of this paper is to restore the deconstructive logic that Derrida advocates to restructure the relationship between life and death in his 1975-6 seminar La vie la mort, and reshape our notion of human survival in his 2001 interview with Giovanna Borradori, ‘Autoimmunity’. These two texts redefine the political and religious questions, which are ‘left hanging, uncertain, still in movement and therefore, yet “to come”’.
Reading and Authoring Young Adult Transmedia Storyworlds
Authors: Fenech Giuliana
Published: May 2022

Since the proliferation of the Internet in the early nineties and mobile technology in the early noughties, reading and authoring have become networked, intersubjective practices that take place across multimedia storyworlds that are open-ended and connected. Taking the fantasy genre as a case study, this article shows that in the digital age readers do not simply replay or subvert fixed codes of meaning-making established by authors and publishing/production houses. Rather, they engage with metaleptic strategies of reading. They use transliteracy skills to produce creative interpretations of the storyworld. The result of this deeper engagement shifts the cultural function of reading back to a performative and social one. It also obliges authors and publishers to consider processes normally associated with production and curation as integral to their work.
The congregation and church of England? William Tyndale’s approach to lexical and ecclesiological reform between 1525 and 1535
Authors: Martin Jan J.
Published: May 2022

As one of the earliest English religious reformers of the 1520s, William Tyndale sought to influence ecclesiological reform in England through a vernacular printing campaign. Beginning with an English translation of the New Testament, Tyndale extended European ecclesiological controversy into England by offering the English people a distinct and radical ecclesiology that was built upon “a congregation.” This study examines the body of Tyndale’s printed works to illuminate the variety of methodologies he developed and utilized to gain public consensus for his understanding of congregation and church in hopes that lexical reform in English would initiate ecclesiological reform in England. Over time, and perhaps because of Thomas More’s criticisms, Tyndale found that the best way to appeal to the public was by lexical flexibility. Contrary to his historiographical reputation, Tyndale embraced the public’s traditional fondness for church so that he did not have to sacrifice his theological preference for congregation.
CHINA-KAZAKHSTAN JOINT CONSTRUCTION OF THE “DIGITAL SILK ROAD” UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF COVID-19: OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND PATHS

The outbreak of the new crown epidemic has had a serious impact on the social and economic development of China and Kazakhstan, and the power of digital technology has become prominent in the process of fighting against the pandemic and recovering the economy. The pandemic has created new opportunities for the development of the global digital economy, and also provides a new opportunity for China and Kazakhstan to jointly build the “Digital Silk Road”. Meanwhile, under the background of the pandemic, China and Kazakhstan face many challenges to jointly build the “Digital Silk Road”, including political risks, digital governance and security, third country interference and other obstacles. In the future, China and Kazakhstan can start cooperation by improving the risk assessment system, strengthening the level of digital governance, and strengthening China-Kazakhstan strategic mutual trust, so as to accelerate the construction of the “Digital Silk Road” between China and Kazakhstan.

The article is devoted to the actual problem of preparation and conduct of hybrid wars. It is noted that preventive defense is aimed at preventive blocking of potential threats before they can turn into real threats to the national interests of the United States. It is established that the multipolar world, the development of science and modern technologies indicate that the concept of absolute national security today is nothing more than a myth, today complete security and total defense are unattainable. The concept, essence of hybrid warfare and hybrid warfare through the geopolitical confrontation of states are considered. The basic principles of conducting and distinguishing features of hybrid warfare are determined. It is emphasized that, within the framework of the hybrid war, the so-called network wars are being waged. In conclusion, it is stated that the factor of the increasing role of modern communication technologies in the issues of information warfare and their impact on the formation of a “new world of political processes” is also relevant for the network-centric format of the hybrid war of the XXI century.

Civil society, which today in its developed form is considered a condition for the stability of democracy, is undergoing historically contradictory development. In the first competitive phase of its formation, clashes between classes and the state predominate. Only in the second coherent phase, on the basis of the emergence of a social and legal state, does it become possible to regulate social conflicts. In the third, pluralistic phase associated with globalization, it is possible, according to the idea of liberals, to create a world coherent society. However, globalization in its liberal form does not create conditions for maintaining the welfare state, and with its disintegration the rule of law also collapses, which, as a result, returns civil society to the first competitive phase. The research uses methods of system and structural-functional analysis, historical approach and the concept of globalization.

Introduction. The change of power and the renewal of political leadership are traditionally regarded as an integral feature of democratic states. For Russia, which has recently embarked on the path of democratization, ensuring the rotation of persons holding public positions is seen as one of the most difficult problems. The federal nature of the state structure requires the formation of effective mechanisms for the turnover of power not only at the national, but also at the regional level. Materials and methods. In preparing the article, the personnel policy of the federal center in relation to the governor’s corps was analyzed. Among the main research methods used are the content analysis method, the decision-making method, the situational method, the institutional method, and the activity method. Results. In modern Russia, the control of the federal center over the transit of power in the regions is due to the inclusion of governors into a single vertical of executive power. The goals of the rotation of the leadership are to prevent the defeat of candidates supported by the authorities with a low electoral rating, to solve regional problems under the guidance of competent crisis managers, and to ensure subordinate relations between the center and the periphery. The instruments that guarantee the change of power are the appointment by the President of the Russian Federation of an official acting temporarily instead of the current governor, and his subsequent election with the support of the federal center and political organizations affiliated with the state. It is substantiated that the current practice negatively affects the federal principles of the state and regional institutions of democracy, the participation of the population in managing the affairs of the state, provokes a conflict between the old and new regional elites. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the redundancy of the influence of the central state apparatus on the process of forming the executive power of the subfederal level is proved, recommendations are formulated to overcome this problem.

Internet of Things network being recently implemented in a wide variety of domains of human activities consists of multiple sensor nodes and mobile network supporting communications between the nodes and base station. Data collected by mobile devices is becoming more dynamic and complex. While solving the task of data collection in a dynamic network it becomes necessary to find the optimal balance of security, data transmission network latency and energy consumption. Taking these requirements into account a method for cluster heads selection and data collection model based on a modified LEACH-M routing protocol were developed and presented in this paper. Proposed approach ensures both secure selection of the cluster heads when collecting data and energy efficient routing. The model was evaluated by using various performance metrics such as security of data collection by cluster heads, power consumption, number of active nodes and network latency. According to the simulation results the performance of the proposed clustering model is better than that of the existing clustering models in several aspects.

The purpose of research. The article discusses the procedure for finding alternatives to a management solution based on weighted boundary conditions of firefighting, taking into account deviations in firefighting tactics. The purpose of the research is the substantiate the possibility of making reference decisions on fire extinguishing based on the analysis of alternatives of the choice of the reference decisions in the tactics of fire extinguishing. This is necessary to determine the main directions of development of the control system of fire and rescue units in the context of the development of ongoing changes in the modern mechanism of regulation in the field of fire safety within the competence of the participants in extinguishing the fire, who makes these reference decisions. Results. The result of the research shows the authors came to the conclusion that the system of making reference decisions in firefighting reflects the classical principle of minimizing empirical risk for a finite set of alternatives by the operational management in decision-making. In the task of making reference decisions depending on the boundary conditions, the fire extinguishing manager needs to find an unknown set of alternatives in achieving the main task. The authors conclude that the empirical risk function that occurs for each alternative from the set of fire-fighting boundary conditions is determined for the assessment, and the desired values should minimize this function. Deviations in the boundary conditions of fire extinguishing were considered here. In this case, the amount of distortion of the empirical risk function depends on the values of distortions in the empirical distribution of losses of the reference solution of fire extinguishing. If there are a lot of distortions, and they are large, minimizing such an empirical risk function will lead to a distortion of the desired conditions for choosing a management decision. To do this, you should resort to the class of M-means, which include almost all well-known functions for calculating the average value of the alternative to choosing a management decision when managing the actions of fire and rescue units.
