Published: February 2022

Study Design: Retrospective national database study design.Purpose: This study was designed to determine whether acute percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) alters morbidity compared with nonoperative management.Overview of Literature: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OCFs) are common and represent a large economic and patient burden. Several recent studies have focused on whether PVA offers benefits compared with nonoperative treatment.Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2015 to 2018. Patients with nonelective admissions for OCFs were identified using International Classification of Diseases (10th edition) codes. The exclusion criteria included age of less than 50 years, fusion and decompression procedures, and the presence of neoplasms and infections. Propensity score matching was implemented to construct 2:1 matched cohorts with similar comorbidities at admission. The patients were divided into the operative and nonoperative treatment groups. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to compare differences in in-hospital complication rates between the groups. All p-values of less than 0.05 were considered significant.Results: We identified 14,850 patients in the operative group and 29,700 patients in the nonoperative group. In the multivariate analysis, operative treatment was associated with significantly lower rates of pneumonia (odds ratio [OR], 0.75; p<0.001), acute respiratory failure (OR, 0.84; p=0.009), myocardial infarction (OR, 0.20; p<0.001), acute heart failure (OR, 0.80; p=0.001), cardiogenic shock (OR, 0.23; p=0.001), sepsis (OR, 0.39; p<0.001), septic shock (OR 0.50; p<0.001), and pressure ulcerations (OR, 0.71; p<0.001). However, operative treatment was associated with a significantly greater risk of acute renal failure (OR, 1.19; p<0.001) than nonoperative treatment.Conclusions: Patients who undergo acute PVA for OCFs have lower rates of respiratory complications, cardiac complications, sepsis, and pressure ulcerations while having a higher risk of acute renal failure.

Published: February 2022

Distinct Society individuals based on gender. This stratification leads to unequal power relations within society, particularly in media organizations. With the technological changes, gender expectations and women's participation in society is transformed. In Pakistan, gender roles and expectations are still ingrained in the patriarchal life. In this context, we investigated women's status in Pakistani media by exploring their position in the newsroom, their career advancement, and the role that harassment and discrimination play in professional attainment. The primary objective of this study involves exploring women in journalism from different perspectives. We used a cross-sectional design accompanied by Structural Equation Modelling to investigate the relevant phenomenon. We selected a sample of n= 224 female journalists using the stratified sampling method and executed close-ended surveys for the data gathering purposes. Findings indicated that women's experiences in the newsroom echo the struggle for survival as they're confined to soft beats with no recruitment policy specified for their induction. However, to cope with the persistent challenges, women journalists have also adopted masculine traits and routines to fit within the journalistic culture.Therefore, we conclude that journalists career in the media and be competent enough to make media organizations if opportunities are given.
Domobranska časnička elita kao sustvarateljica vojnoga nazivlja
Authors: Vrgoč Dalibor
Published: February 2022

U radu se propituju dosadašnje znanstvene spoznaje o početcima službene izgradnje hrvatskoga vojnog nazivlja iz druge polovice 19. stoljeća, u prvome redu o jedinstvenosti uloge Bogoslava Šuleka kao njegova utemeljitelja. Istraživanjem primarnih izvora dokazuje se da Šulek, premda stožerna figura vojnoterminografskih nastojanja, nije bio jedini stvaratelj hrvatske vojne riječi. Proučavanjem arhivske građe u Zagrebu i Beču na vidjelo izlazi niz autora, koji su u jeku ustrojavanja domobranstva prevodili vojne priručnike na hrvatski jezik. Štoviše, uz brojne naslove vojnostručne literature, objavili su i dva pionirska vojnojezična priručnika. Autori su redom pripadali domobranskom časničkom predavačkom kadru, tako da je Šulek među njima bio jedina nevojna osoba. Nova konfiguracija zaslužnikâ izgradnje hrvatskoga vojnog nazivlja otkriva da su se neki važni naslovi dosad pogrešno pripisivali Šuleku, no i upućuje na nove spoznaje o opsegu Šulekova opusa te dostupnosti njegovih naslova. Usporedbom časničkih prijevoda s onima Bogoslava Šuleka upotpunjuje se mozaik jezične koncepcije izgradnje hrvatskoga vojnog nazivlja.

Published: February 2022

The usage of robots has been due to cost reduction and increasing operation accuracy. Furthermore, employing robots in farming can decrease human tasks in hard and dangerous duties such as plowing, spraying pesticides, etc. Spraying chemicals is a common operation in agriculture crop protection. This operation is essential, but it can create some problems such as human and environmental damages by overdosing using pesticides. Recently, researchers focused on precision agriculture to make this smart. Sensors are employed to detect leaves of plants on the ground and spray them as much as required. Thus, pesticide dose will be under control. The current paper aims to introduce a wheeled robot that is developed to detect plants by color sensor and spray them. This robot can move between planting rows and detect weeds based on the leave color. A microcontroller-based board was used as the main controller, which sends spray commands to the sprayer nozzle. Outdoor and indoor tests were carried out to study the accuracy of this system. Results of experiments showed that this robot could work with acceptable accuracy in identifying weeds in the field. Thus, this robot can be commercialized for applying in the field to spray pesticides.
Exploration of Applying Lego NXT and Arduino in Situated Engineering Teaching: A Case Study of a Robotics Contest at King Saud University
Authors: Marouani Haykel
Published: February 2022

Saudi students in engineering courses suffer from a lack of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) knowledge due to the teaching philosophy and programs offered in secondary and intermediate schools. This weakness naturally impacts their motivation, grades, and their relationship with teachers. In this paper, we introduce a new experimental teaching experience in the Applied Mechanical Department of the Applied Engineering College of King Saud University, based on situated learning theory, which emphasizes that knowledge must be learned in constructed situational context). This experience involved introducing Lego NXT and Arduino to enhance the enthusiasm and interest of students through designing and building robots in agreement with the “Introduction to design” course syllabus. Two experimental challenges were associated with: the line-follower problem and the maze problem. These challenges took the form of an internal completion at the end of each semester. The experience was conducted for two consecutive terms (30 students, the academic year 2019-2020), and the results were compared to those in six previous terms (100 students, academic years from 2016 to 2019). The experimental group demonstrated grades improvement (course mean grade rose from 77.1 to 85.3), the progress of academic achievement, and interest that enables them to actively explore and construct knowledge.
Design and Simulation of Synchronous Buck Converter in Comparison with Regular Buck Converter
Authors: Zomorodi Hossein , Nazari Erfan
Published: February 2022

In a variety of low-power applications, a step-down dc-dc converter is used to reduce the voltage from a higher level. The two types of dc-dc converters are a regular buck and synchronous buck. The synchronous buck utilizes two switches and one diode, whereas the regular buck uses one switch and one diode. Many converters rely on the power components' switching qualities to work. A second MOSFET is required due to the diode's higher conduction losses. Because of the diode's conduction losses, the converter's efficiency may be reduced. The use of a synchronous buck converter improves efficiency by reducing diode losses. The main goal of this study is to compare and contrast these two low-power step-down converters. The simulation in this work was performed using the LTSPICE program.

Published: February 2022

The control system will measure the renewable energy generation power, and if the generated power is equal to the grid power, the generation sources are directly connected to the load system. When the power generation is not at sustaining level, the controller will optimize the source using the DC-DC converter and Battery based Energy management system. The operation of the battery system depends upon the power generation availability of renewable energy resources. During the high power RES, the battery is charging condition. When the RES is low power means the battery is in discharged condition. Also, the fuel cell-based energy compensation will take place when the battery power is low. The Energy router will monitor all the above generation plants based on the threshold values of each power plant, substantial Transformative Energy Management (STEM) Strategy and Resilient Power Flow Control (RPFC) controller takes necessary action like which power plant is connected to the grid power system. The simulation is performed on Mat lab / Simulink simulation platforms, and the results show the effectiveness and reliability of the control strategy for micro-grid interconnection and flexible energy flow correspondence.

Purpose: to conduct research and develop an algorithm for soil water regime modeling on reclaimed fields of reclamation systems of double regulation (drainage-humidification, drainage-irrigation) for the subsequent development of information and software tools ensuring the possibility of operational regulation of water regimes of soils on reclaimed agricultural fields in various regions of the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. The methodological and informational basis was formed by methods of collecting and processing information, methods of systematization, normative and technical documents, provisions for the information technologies development as well as existing means of information technology support for land reclamation tasks. Results. The simulation algorithm includes three stages: preparation for simulation, simulation itself, simulation results evaluation. At the modeling stage, the mode of water supply to the object (reclaimed field) by the surface method (sprinkling) and (or) by moistening (feeding) with groundwater was set, and then the moisture content at the object was calculated. At the stage of evaluating the modeling results, the terms, discharges and volumes supplied to the object by the surface method and by moistening the soil with groundwater were determined, and data on the results of the modeling were formed. To display the results visually, the main screen form of the water regimes modeling program in “Water consumer” control loop was developed. Conclusions. As a result of the research, the algorithm for water regime modeling in “Water consumer” control loop (reclaimed field) was developed. The developed algorithm makes it possible to regulate quickly the moisture storage in soil for given crop irrigation regimes due to sprinkling and (or) raising the groundwater level.

Authors:   Novocherkassk Engineering and Land Reclamation Institute – branch of the Don State Agrarian University, Ivonin V. M.
Published: February 2022

Purpose: to develop the basics of the general theory of reclamation systems (OTMS). Methods: system approach, visual modeling. Results. The hierarchical rating of reclamation systems at the first level is represented by elements that are not connected with each other, at the second one, connections between the elements form simple technical or biotic reclamation systems. At the third level, simple systems are joined into complex ones, and at the fourth level, the complex systems are included into large reclamation supersystems, which are fastened by territories that play the role of mesoecotones at the regional level (watershed forests and other forests, meadows and pastures, state forest belts, etc.). These territories, due to their functional activity on their tectological boundaries, solve the ecological problems of land reclamation. Systems of different levels take their place in the basin landscape structure, held together by a natural hydrographic network. At the same time, simple reclamation systems (usually within the elementary catchments of gullies and streams) are combined into complex reclamation systems by the basins of the watercourses, i-th order and the complex ones – into large reclamation supersystems (in the basins of medium or large rivers). The properties common to all reclamation systems have been determined: synergy and functionality; emergence, reliability, maintainability; structure, hierarchy, organization; openness, closeness or combination; appropriate behavior, adaptability, controllability; isolation, unity, interactivity. Conclusions. The basics of OTMS determine the hierarchical rating of technical and (or) biotic reclamation systems, the elements (subsystems) of which interact with the environment and take their place in the basin structure of landscapes involved into the reclamation process on reclaimed lands and adjacent territories.

Published: February 2022

Purpose: to conduct scenario studies of the hydrodynamic model of the Proletarskaya irrigation system to assess the impact of an additional regulation structure on its operation mode. Materials and methods. To conduct scenario studies, a hydrodynamic model was developed for the section of the Proletarskiy branch of the Don main canal with a total length of more than 30 km. The model is used to consider several scenarios. Results. According to the scenario studies results of the hydrodynamic model of the Proletarskaya irrigation system, it was found that using the operation mode of the additional structure identical to the head one, it is possible to achieve a water level reduction in the canal within 16 cm in the upstream and 80 cm in the downstream, which leads to a decrease in water storage by 45 million m³. Such levels make it possible to ensure the operation of the PR-1 canal in full, but it is difficult to predict the volume of water supply to water users located after the control structure at PK 1427. In this regard, the problem of selecting the optimal operating mode for the additional structure and structure at PK 1427 was solved. It was revealed that to ensure the specified criteria, the gate opening rate of the additional structure should not exceed 24.1 m BS, blocking on PK 1427 – 21.8 m BS. Such an operation mode of the structures allows saving about 30 million m³ of water during the irrigation period. Conclusions. Based on the results of scenario studies, it was found that the presence of additional structures improves regulation and contributes to an increase in the water use efficiency. At present, the determination of geometric parameters and the selection of operation modes of such structures can be carried out on computer models, using the actual state of irrigation systems.

The purpose is to study the influence of individual and joint application of humic preparation Lignohumate and microbiological fertilizer Baikal-EM on the structural state and enzymatic activity of ordinary chernozem. Materials and methods. Soil samples were investigated by the method of dry sieving to calculate the structural coefficient, by the method of wet sieving to determine the number of water-stable aggregates; the analysis of the dynamics of soil humus was carried out; the dynamics of catalase and invertase activity has been studied. Results. The dynamics of humus during the study period has a similar picture in all variants, however, the end of the growing season in 2011 demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the amount of humus by 0.25 % when a humic preparation and a concentrate of microorganisms are simultaneously applied into soil, in the same variant in the same period, an increase in catalase activity was noted up to 29 ml О₂/(g · min) compared to 20 ml О₂/(g · min) in the control. The application of microorganisms also revealed a correlation between humus and invertase activity: option 4 showed an increase in this indicator to a statistically significant 18 mg glucose/(g · 24 h) in the absence of a significant difference in dynamics in other options. The structural characteristics of soil showed the greatest response to treatment with Lignohumate and Baikal-EM, their application led to the increase in the structure coefficient up to 2.75 compared to 1.6–1.7 in the control variant and with the application of Lignohumate on the leaf. The content of water-stable aggregates in the control variant and with foliar treatment throughout the entire experiment was in the range of 70–75 %, while soil treatment with preparations led to the increase in water resistance of the structure to 90 %. Conclusions. Chernozem turned out to have response to the Lignohumate, application especially in combination with Baikal-EM, directly into soil, which is associated with the stimulation of its own soil microflora by the applied concentrate of microorganisms.

Purpose. The study consists in the development and substantiation of forecast scenarios for ensuring the food security of the region in the context of food affordability. Materials and methods. The research technique is based on the development of predictive econometric models of the food affordability, including trend, simulation modeling and paired non-linear correlation-regression models, which not only makes it possible to identify the impact on the consumption level of two multidirectional factors at the same time (price changes and income), but also reflects the real purchasing power of the monetary income of the population. The empirical basis for forecast calculations was an assessment of trends in ensuring food security in the region for the period 2007–2019. Results. The results of the study indicate that during the period of fundamental changes in the modern agro-food policy of Russia, including the adoption of the Food Security Doctrine, the implementation of accelerated import substitution measures, it was not possible to significantly improve the quality and living standard of the population. It is substantiated that the degree of differentiation of population of Rostov region in terms of income, together with the Engel coefficient, approaches a critical level and does not allow ensuring the food affordability at the proper level. Predictive scenarios of food affordability have been developed: basic (inertial) and pessimistic. It is argued that the existing mechanism for ensuring food security in the long term is insufficient to improve the quality of life of population. Conclusions. Difficult macroeconomic conditions in the country against the backdrop of sanctions confrontations and a pandemic can significantly aggravate food affordability. In particular, meat consumption by 2030 may reach 82.2 % of the rational consumption rate, milk and fruits 76.7 and 65.2 %, respectively. A methodology for predicting the economic food affordability within the framework of ensuring food security is proposed, which can be used by public authorities at all levels to adjust key areas of agrarian socio-economic policy.

Purpose: to characterize the studied varieties by a complex of economically valuable traits and to assess their adaptability to the cultivation zone during irrigation. Materials and methods: 14 potato varieties of domestic selection are being tested under irrigation conditions at the experimental plot of the Volgagrad region. The varieties studied were: the early maturity group Udacha, Gulliver, Meteor, Krepysh; mid-early Ariel, Armada, Commandor, Mechta and mid-season Krasa Meshchery, Vympel, Mirazh, Fritella, Favorit. The Zhukovsky early ripening variety, belonging to the early maturity group, was taken as the standard. Results: according to the phenological observations data, the varieties of the early-maturing group ripened in 78 days; only one variety Krepysh had a vegetation period of 85 days. In plants of the mid-early and mid-season groups, as compared with the early-maturing, the growing season was 7–11 days longer. The varieties Zhukovsky ranniy (early), Komandor, Udacha, Gulliver, Ariel, Mirazh, Krepysh had the maximum mass of tubers by mid-August – from 675 to 480 g, in other varieties it was slightly less and varied from 340 to 290 g. The Zhukovsky ranniy (early) variety had the maximum yield of 50,4 t/ha, and the variety Favorit (mid-season) had the minimum yield was of 19.8 t/ha. Mid-season varieties have accumulated significantly more starch (18.12; 17.39; 16.34; 14.10 % – Fritella, Krasa Meshchery, Vympel, Mirazh) in comparison with early varieties (14.92; 14.01; 13.49; 11.87; 11.66 % – Udacha, Gulliver, Zhukovsky ranniy (early), Krepysh, Meteor). Conclusions: in terms of developing the tubers yield, all varieties passing the ecological-geographical test did not exceed the standard variety Zhukovsky ranniy (early), the total yield of which was 50.4 t/ha. The varieties Commandor, Udacha, Gulliver, Ariel, Mirazh, Armada, Krepysh, Vympel, Krasa Meshchery are inferior by 6.4–16.5 t/ha.

Published: February 2022

Purpose: development of standard time-plans for the resumption of use of reclaimed lands previously eliminated from circulation. Materials and methods: the methodology for the development of time-plans for the commissioning of former reclaimed agricultural lands is based on the use of key indicators of the natural-ecological model of the developed territories. Formally, such natural-ecological model is described by a combination of factors ƩFi , where F is one of the distinguished variety of factors having a direct importance in the development of unused, previously reclaimed lands. Each of the factor complexes under consideration is assigned an index i, which characterizes the degree of violation, the cumulative deviation of indicators from the regional norm. Results: combinations of index i make it possible to differentiate typical time-plans for lands with different levels of ecological disturbances. The graphical model of time-plan includes a time axis with a conventional scale normalized in relation to the duration of the period of introducing the land under development into circulation, and a rectangular graph of sequential technologies, respectively, for a component that includes objects of natural origin (NS) and a component that includes engineering objects of a reclamation system (ES). The proposed time-plans are optimized in terms of minimizing development costs, eliminating repeatable work, coordinating resource consumption when using related technologies, eliminating environmental harm to the environment, the need to shorten the period until the first profit is made and systematically increasing the efficiency of economic activities without “failures”. Conclusions: the developed time-plans are optimized with respect to various ecological conditions, can be easily detailed in relation to any actual natural-ecological model, a real area of abandoned agricultural land planned for development.
The consequences of Latin America’s “right-wing turn”: the regional and global scopes
Authors: Kuznetsov Denis
Published: February 2022

The article examines the conceptual basis, characteristics and nuances of the “right-wing turn” in Latin America, as well as the reasons of its reappearance in the 21st century. Despite all positive changes that came after “the golden decade”, the popularity of left-wing politicians has been declining steadily, which influences the international relations both within and beyond the region. The “right-wing turn”, being in fact the consequence of inner-political shifts in many states of Latin America, has led to the gradual fall of the present cooperation institutions and the emergence of new ones that rely more on right-wing politicians’ values. Moreover, Latin America is now divided into two rival blocks owing to traditionally solid positions of socialist leaders in some of the region´s countries. The relationships between Latin America and the major Powers (United States, China and Russia) have undergone changes. It is worth mentioning that considerable attention has been paid to the analysis of not only political, but also economic ties. The purpose of this study is to show the scale of international political consequences of the “right-wing turn” in both regional and global dimensions on the basis of analysis and generalization of certain cases.
William Golding and Bram Stoker – Conceptual Core and Glossing Windows (EVOLI)
Authors:   West University of Timişoara, PÂRLOG Aba-Carina , CRIŞAN Marius-Mircea ,   West University of Timişoara
Published: February 2022

As Carol Senf suggests (“Dracula: The Unseen Face in the Mirror” 1979), one of the greatest dangers which Bram Stoker’s characters have to face is the evil inside them. This theme was developed in different ways in 20th century British literature. An interpretation of the background, setting and story in William Golding's Lord of the Flies can be very useful for the understanding of the darkness of one's soul and the way in which people can dread human nature. The digital tool EVOLI offers a chance for teachers and students alike to teach and learn about Lord of the Flies by transgressing the borders of language and turning affected spirituality into a reason for analysing the depths of cultural codifications. The elements connected to the novel are taken into account using various views on methodological hermeneutics so that meanings may be made transparent and the message of the author can be rendered without any bias. The importance of this approach is shown by students’ feedback to this kind of a perspective on a theme of evilness, terror and death. The presence of a Beast in the midst of the action and of an overall Beelzebub influencing all characters helps one create a scale of human corruption which determines a gradation of the connotations of what haunting is.

The following article discusses some issues regarding the use of the terms ‘fiction’, ‘fictionality’, ‘fictive’ and ‘fictional’ with regard to fictions and fictional expressions or texts. The main concern of this text is to indicate the fact, that ‘fiction’ and fictions are used and treated with a certain amount of ambiguity. It is the case when literature and literary worlds are discussed both in a general context and in scholarly treatment of these issues. Relevant terminological distinctions exist. Still, their use to name their corresponding referents lacks a certain consequence.
Nosferatu’s Cats, or: The Birth of the Cinematic Pandemic Vampire
Authors:   University of Victoria, Canada, GÖLZ Peter
Published: February 2022

This paper looks at how the three Nosferatu films by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Werner Herzog, and E. Elias Merhige have influenced presentations of vampires and established the Nosferatu figure as a cinematic counterpart to the literary Dracula. In addition, all three films establish the pandemic theme early on in a genre-defining scene, featuring the female protagonist and one or more cats. The significance of the cat scenes is analyzed both in terms of the final film versions as well as in relation to the original scripts and other source materials, which show the significant changes that were made. Spanning the full spectrum of genre films from their experimental to their baroque stages, the three Nosferatu films present a unique type of vampire, which is particularly relevant for our present times.

Peran Komite Sekolah di SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan perlu mendapat dukungan dari seluruh komponen pendidikan, baik guru, Kepala Sekolah, siswa, orang tua/wali murid, masyarakat, dan institusi pendidikan.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penyebab belum optimalnya penggunaan dana Komite Sekolah di SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen, mengevaluasi penggunaan dana Komite Sekolah di SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen, merumuskan solusi ke depan untuk mengoptimalkan dalam penggunaan Dana Komite Sekolah di SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Komparatif artinya sejenis penelitian deskriptif yang ingin mencari jawaban secara mendasar tentang sebab-akibat, dengan menganalisis faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya ataupun munculnya suatu fenomena tertentu.

Hasilnya faktor-Faktor Penyebab Belum Optimalnya Penggunaan Dana Komite Sekolah di SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen adalah keberadaan ekonomi dari masing-masing orang tua siswa, kurangnya sosialisasi, personalia anggota Komite Sekolah yang terbatas jumlah, waktu dan kompetensinya, belum ada koordinasi dan komunikasi yang baik dan erat antar anggota komite sekolah, kurangnya pelibatan komite sekolah dalam fungsi sebagai luas sehingga kinerjanya terbatas pada masalah-masalah rutinitas saja. Penggunaan Dana Komite Komite Sekolah SMKN 1 telah mampu menjadi supporting agency sekaligus mediator dalam hal penggalangan dana dana lokasi biaya pendidikan. Komite Sekolah SMKN 1 dalam hal pengawasan dan evaluasi biaya pendidikan telah dapat menjalankan fungsi baik, namun dari data diketahui bahwa realisasi anggaran dalam 3 tahun terakhir belum 100%, hal ini berarti penggunaan dana Komite Sekolah belum optimal. Solusi untuk mengoptimalkan dalam penggunaan Dana Komite sekolah SMKN 1 Kebumen adalah bagi siswa mampu diusulkan untuk memperoleh bantuan beasiswa miskin melalui BSM dan BOS, kemudian bagi siswa yang menjadi juara umum diberikan kebebasan biaya komite. Perlu sosialisasi ke masyarakat, perlu dikembangkan sistem rekruitmen dan seleksi terhadap calon anggota dewan pendidikan dan komite sekolah yang lebih baik, perlu ditetapkan standar dan indikator kinerja dewan dan komite, sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai acuan dalam menilai kinerjanya, perlu adanya koordinasi dan komunikasi yang baik, perlu adanya upaya pengadaan dana penunjang kegiatan operasional dan tempat kerja untuk Komite Sekolah. Dan perlu ada penambahan anggota Komite Sekolah sehingga mempermudah dalam melaksanakan tugas sebagai badan pengontrol.

Certain Connections between Cyber Operations, Artificial Intelligence and Operational Domains
Authors: Kralovánszky Kristóf
Published: February 2022

The relationship of operational domains with various systems based on artificial intelligence is becoming more profound and more diverse. The ability to influence decision-making mechanisms can pose serious risks that need to be identified and interpreted. Cyberspace is the carrier of artificial intelligence, but the latter as an operational domain has not yet been identified. The goal of this study is to examine certain relationships between cyberspace, artificial intelligence, and operational domains from a state-will enforcement perspective, using mostly qualitative tools, combined with quantitative elements. As a result, this paper finds the need to review defence doctrines from a cyber operational perspective and suggests addressing artificial intelligence in a much broader context, especially in the defence and military contexts.
Technical Dimensions of the Development of Unmanned Aerial Systems and Their Impact on Public Service Uses
Authors: Németh András
Published: February 2022

Due to the processes and specialized research of the revolution in technological and scientific information of the last few decades, the development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) has now reached the state where it may become a defining factor in the market of civil technologies. In the wake of efforts to enhance aviation safety since the first generation of multicopters, hobby and professional tools have become available that—provided that statutory requirements are flexible enough—could be used in corporate and government sectors alike.However, the use of such equipment to improve public services would require a strategic-level policy change. Due to rapid technological changes, the speed at which drones are developing is unprecedented, and such equipment is becoming dated significantly faster than, for example, the planned life-cycle of military equipment.These circumstances call for a solution that breaks away from existing procurement principles, and is able to continuously provide government organizations with equipment that meets the latest technical standards, and supports the efficient execution of the most diverse specialized tasks.This publication aims to present the complexity, technical dimensions and development trends of “drone science”, along with suggestions on how their use could be efficiently integrated into the toolbox of public service tasks.
Combating Cyber Crime
Authors: Antoliš Krunoslav , Varjačić Ivančica , Jelenski Mario
Published: February 2022

Life in a modern society is determined by strategic drivers, the most important of which are the Internet and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Their use is one that contributes to global development and enables it to be balanced globally. The sustainability of this development is directly dependent on the degree of Internet misuse and the misuse of ICT. That is why we are discussing computer criminality through the example of Croatia. In the second part, we analyse the misuse of new ICT and the ways and possibilities of legitimate opposition to ICT abuses.
Milestones Related to the Development of Organizational Aspects of Cybersecurity and Protection against Cyber-Threats in the Czech Republic
Authors: Krulík Oldřich
Published: February 2022

Although the Czech Republic belongs to the most “internetised” countries in the world, its information and communication security policy (as well as the protection of the critical information infrastructure) lagged behind for a relatively long time, when compared to most of the remaining European countries. Building the hierarchy regarding the umbrella teams of the Cybernetic Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT) type (regardless of whether we call them governmental, national or otherwise) was unthinkable without the contribution of the private sector that substituted many functions of the state in this field. The whole process can be understood as an interaction of international and national pressures appealing to the solution of the situation.
Interoperability Services Supporting Information Exchange Between Cybersecurity Organisations
Authors: Munk Sándor
Published: February 2022

The security of cyberspace can be ensured by a broad cooperation of different organizations, actors. This cooperation cannot be achieved without interoperable information exchange between cybersecurity actors, organisations, and their IT systems. Interoperable information exchange can be realized using own resources, or using services provided by third parties. IT interoperability service can be defined as a service by which a service provider supports interoperable data exchange between IT systems of service consumers and cooperating actors. This publication provides different categorizations of interoperability services, discusses their benefits, and the necessary user tasks. It determines the types of interoperability service providers and their necessary capabilities. Finally, it defines the special requirements of cybersecurity information exchange and presents the main types of required services.
