Convergence of banking cybersecurity strategies to the new rules on digital operational resilience
Authors: Gorobet Ilinca
Published: May 2024

Banks in the EU must ensure enhanced cyber security by the end of 2024 to comply with the Digital Operational Resilience Requirements (DORA), which was adopted by the European Council in November 2022. Every bank in the EU will have to be sure that its suppliers and their security controls comply with resilience standards. This is necessary to align banks' efforts with potential risks. The DORA sets uniform requirements for the security of banks' networks and IT systems, as well as third parties providing ICT services to them: cloud platforms or data analytics services. ICT service providers from outside the EU will have to set up subsidiaries in the EU so that supervision can be implemented uniformly. Research methods will be description, comparison, synthesis. As a result, we will elucidate the degree of convergence of cybersecurity requirements in banks in the domestic market and in European practice.

Authors: Chvertko Liudmyla , Puholovko Illia
Published: May 2024

Digitalization and transformation to innovative solutions are essential trends in the development of taxation and other areas. In general, the continuous evolution of IT technologies is a crucial factor in digitizing most processes in the modern world. The Main effects and consequences of digitalization are the collection of large amounts of information (big data), which is analyzed by AI and used to make decisions in various areas of economic and social, government, and legislative activities. Today, humanity accumulates as much data as the human brain cannot comprehend and process in a lifetime. The taxation sphere is not an exception, with more and more tools for taxpayers and regulatory authorities now available in digital form. The newest cooperation services between the taxpayer and the government are designed to improve the work of tax authorities and, most importantly, simplify the process of paying taxes, submitting tax returns, and receiving consultations. All of these services have been operating successfully for some time but still need to be improved and expanded. The digital economy is pushing tax authorities to replace traditional models of tax administration with new models that analyze and use big data and electronic tools online to promote effective cooperation between tax authorities worldwide. However, in line with the development of the Ukrainian tax system and the transformation of the taxpayer-state relationship, implementing electronic data transfer components is not always phased, which creates additional risks for businesses.

Security in tourism
Authors: Tudorica Mihaela
Published: May 2024

Until recently, the tourist market was actually a physical space, where the seller of tourist packages and the buyer met and the transaction was carried out. So the contacts were physical both locally and internationally. Security meant, therefore, to protect people from extremely tangible threats such as theft, fraud, etc. But now we face different challenges because the tourism market is becoming a cyberspace where sellers, intermediaries and buyers can meet without the need for physical contact. Security therefore has a different meaning, as we need to protect ourselves from cyber threats that can materialize in identity theft, internet fraud, etc. So, in order to deal with the problems that appear, and which may not have attracted much attention from experts, we want to study the importance of cyber security for the development of tourist destinations.

What Exactly is Peer Learning? An Exploratory Analysis of Student Class Interaction
Authors: Pleschová Gabriela , McAlpine Lynn
Published: May 2024

The study explores a long-standing assumption that students learn from peers, and that this learning can be enhanced through carefully designed instruction. Nevertheless, empirical evidence about in-class peer learning designed by the teacher is lacking: how it is enacted and how students respond. We analysed class recordings, and perceptions of teachers and students in 15 Bachelor and Masters’ class sessions in humanities, social sciences and medicine at one European Union university. We found great variation in how teachers designed peer-learning activities. We saw, for instance, how the same strategy can vary in its effectiveness depending on the degree of teacher’s tactical thinking; also why some designs were more effective than others. By documenting the commonalities and differences across the classes, our study offers an empirical foundation on which to build a more robust understanding of how to recognise and compare manifestations of peer-learning in the classroom.

Authors: Shi Mo , Xu Xiaoyan , Choi Yeol
Published: May 2024

Elevators serve as indispensable transportation systems in contemporary buildings, facilitating vertical mobility for occupants. However, the proliferation of tall buildings has exacerbated traffic congestion issues within elevator systems. A significant number of elevator passengers voice dissatisfaction with prolonged wait times, leading to impatience and frustration. Traditional approaches to address elevator traffic problems include installing additional elevators or implementing group control systems. However, these solutions often fall short due to designers' limited understanding of elevator traffic dynamics. This research seeks to address these challenges by employing Gaussian analysis to comprehensively examine elevator traffic patterns within a typical office building context. By analyzing both actual monitored data and predictions generated by LS-SVMs, the study aims to offer valuable insights into elevator traffic behavior. Additionally, the research endeavors to serve as a valuable resource for ETA (Elevator Traffic Analysis), providing designers with a deeper understanding of elevator traffic dynamics and guiding the development of more effective solutions to alleviate congestion and improve passenger experience within vertical transportation systems. Through this approach, the study contributes to advancements in elevator design and operation, ultimately enhancing the functionality and efficiency of vertical transportation systems in built environments.

Authors: Bassi Daniele , Cirilli Marco , Rossini Laura
Published: May 2024

Gli scenari climatici previsti per le aree del Mediterraneo pongono sfide molto specifiche per l’agricoltura, in particolare per le colture da frutto. La vulnerabilità del settore alla modificazione delle condizioni agro-climatiche dipende sia dagli estremi climatici, sia dalla capacità di adattamento delle colture stesse. A motivo della loro perennialità, le colture arboree da frutto sono particolarmente esposte a condizioni ambientali estreme, in quanto sia la resa e sia la qualità della produzione sono fortemente influenzate dalle interazioni genotipo x ambiente. Gli obiettivi generali di questa opera, oltre a presentare una panoramica delle principali colture frutticole nel bacino del Mediterraneo (mandorlo, albicocco, agrumi spp., vite, olivo e pesco), sono: i) descrivere le caratteristiche più interessanti delle loro coltivazione, ii) evidenziando le possibili soluzioni per affrontare gli impatti negativi degli estremi climatici, iii) riportando i principali risultati del progetto internazionale 'Freeclimb' (https://primafreeclimb.com/), finanziato nel quadro di PRIMA, un'iniziativa dell'UE intesa a promuovere la cooperazione nel bacino del Mediterraneo (https://prima-med.org/).

The Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) is an important Amazonian species with high production potential in fish farms and commercial value for aquarists. However, limited information on the feeding characteristics, such as the frequency of daily feeding, is available for this species in captivity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding frequency on growth, hematology, blood biochemical parameters, liver histology, and intestinal microbiota parameters of juvenile Oscars. Four treatments were tested, consisting of fish fed at a feeding rate of one (T1), two (T2), three (T3), or four (T4) times daily with 1% of their biomass. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between treatments for growth and hematological parameters. T1 showed lower serum albumin values than T2 and T4 (p < 0.05) and higher hepatosomatic index values than T4 (p < 0.05), which was corroborated by the hepatocyte nucleus count. Intestinal microbiota analysis revealed higher taxon richness in T4 than in T1 (p < 0.05). Lower feeding frequencies (T1) positively influenced the deposition of hepatic energy reserves and decreased albumin production, possibly because of lower peptide absorption in the same treatment. Based on these results, feeding frequencies of two (T2), three (T3) and four (T4) times daily were the most suitable for juveniles of this species.

Authors: Higginbotham Devan O. , El-Othmani Mouhanad M. , Nham Fong H. , Alsoof Daniel , Diebo Bassel G. , McCarty Scott A. , Daniels Alan H.
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

While perioperative nutritional, functional, and bone health status optimization in spine surgery is supported with ample evidence, the implementation and surgeon perception regarding such efforts in clinical practice remain largely unexplored. This study sought to assess the current perception of spine surgeons and implementation regarding the nutritional, functional status, and bone health perioperative optimization.

Methods:

An anonymous 30-question survey was distributed to orthopaedic spine fellowship and neurosurgery program directors identified through the North American Spine Society and American Association of Neurological Surgeons contact databases.

Results:

The questionnaire was completed by 51 surgeon survey respondents. Among those, 62% reported no current formal nutritional optimization protocols with 14% not recommending an optimization plan, despite only 10% doubting benefits of nutritional optimization. While 5% of respondents perceived functional status optimization as nonbeneficial, 68% of respondents reported no protocol in place and 46% noted a functional status assessment relying on patient dependency. Among the respondents, 85% routinely ordered DEXA scan if there was suspicion of osteoporosis and 85% usually rescheduled surgery if bone health optimization goals were not achieved while 6% reported being suspicious of benefit from such interventions.

Conclusion:

While most responding spine surgeons believe in the benefit of perioperative nutritional and functional optimization, logistical and patient compliance challenges were noted as critical barriers toward optimization. Understanding surgeon perception and current practices may guide future efforts toward advancement of optimization protocols.

New Capacity Model for Malaysian Urban Roads Using Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram and Multiple Linear Regression Approach
Authors: Khoo Hooi Ling , Lum Li Kai  , KS Ashita
Published: May 2024

The existing manuals used to estimate urban road capacity have limitations. Adapting these manuals to compute the road capacity at urban roads reduces estimation accuracy. This study attempts to develop a capacity model to characterize urban road capacity. Twenty-two sites consisting of the collector/distributor roads and local roads in the Cheras-Kajang area in Klang Valley are selected for traffic data collection during the morning peak hour from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Site video camera recording is carried out, and the traffic data is extracted from the video footage. The speed-density and flow-density curves of the macroscopic fundamental diagram are fitted with the traffic data extracted. The capacity value is then derived from these curves. The urban road capacity model, termed the UrbanCap model, is developed in this study using the multiple linear regression approach. The results show that the urban road capacity depends on the type of road and carriageway and speed limit. The comparison of the capacity values produced from the UrbanCap model with other manuals justifies that it has a better estimate than the existing manuals used in Malaysia. The results also signify a need to develop a manual/guideline to quantify the urban road capacity in Malaysia for road design and analysis.

The advancement in lightweight cementitious composite strength enhancement has promoting the usage of lightweight material across modern construction industry. Likewise, Lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) was introduced as an alternative material in the construction industry due to its properties including good thermal and sound insulation, lighter in weight and cost-effectiveness. In corresponded to LFC strength issue which often found to be diminished due to its lower density and porous structures. Studies have shown that the incorporation of steel fiber into concrete can recover the diminished strength of lightweight foamed concrete. Hence, this research focusses on the strength properties of LFC incorporate with 30 kg/m3 of steel fiber. Three types of LFC were prepared in this study including a trial mix of LFC (LFC-TM), a control mix of LFC (LFC-CTR), and LFC with 30 kg/m3 steel fiber (LFC-30SF). The LFC-CTR and LFC-30SF were casted based on the obtained optimum water-to-cement ratio from the plotted performance index graph, which was 0.56 for both mixes. The fresh properties of LFC-CTR and LFC-30SF were determined based on the result obtained from fresh density, flow table and inverted slump tests. Besides, the strength properties studied for LFC-CTR and LFC-30SF were compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength at 7, 28 and 56 days after curing. From the test results obtained, the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strength of LFC was found to be improved by adding the steel fiber into the mix. As for the fresh properties of LFC, the stability was found to decreased after the steel fiber was added into the mix, while the flowability and consistency was observed with an improvement subject to fibre addition. In short, incorporating steel fiber can improve the strength properties of LFC, which driving their usability and encouraging wider adoption across modern industries.

LEVANTAMENTO DE SEIO MAXILAR SEGUIDA DE INSTALAÇÃO IMEDIATA DE IMPLANTE: UM RELATO DE CASO CLÍNICO
Authors: Pontes Bruna Salla de , Pavane Rodrigo Marocchio
Published: May 2024

O levantamento de seio maxilar é uma técnica cirúrgica utilizada na implantodontia para possibilitar a colocação de implantes dentários em pacientes que apresentam perda óssea significativa na região posterior maxilar. Esse procedimento é necessário quando a altura óssea disponível para a fixação dos implantes é insuficiente devido à pneumatização do seio maxilar após a perda dentária. Durante o procedimento de levantamento do seio maxilar, a membrana sinusal é cuidadosamente elevada e o espaço resultante é preenchido com enxerto ósseo. Existem diferentes abordagens para realizar esse procedimento, incluindo a técnica de acesso lateral e a técnica de acesso crestal, sendo a escolha dependente das características anatômicas do paciente e da preferência do cirurgião. As indicações para o levantamento de seio maxilar incluem pacientes que necessitam de implantes dentários na região posterior maxilar e apresentam altura óssea inadequada devido à reabsorção óssea e pneumatização do seio maxilar. No entanto, existem algumas contraindicações, como a presença de sinusite crônica ou anatomia sinusal desfavorável. Os materiais utilizados durante o procedimento incluem enxertos ósseos autógenos, alógenos ou xenógenos, bem como membranas de regeneração óssea. Após o procedimento, é essencial um período de cicatrização adequado antes da colocação dos implantes dentários. Embora o levantamento de seio maxilar seja geralmente considerado seguro e eficaz, podem ocorrer complicações, como perfuração da membrana sinusal, infecção pós-operatória ou reabsorção do enxerto ósseo. O manejo adequado dessas complicações é essencial para o sucesso do procedimento. Portanto, o levantamento de seio maxilar desempenha um papel crucial na implantodontia, permitindo a reabilitação oral de pacientes com perda dentária na região posterior maxilar. Com uma compreensão adequada da técnica cirúrgica, materiais e cuidados pós-operatórios, é possível obter resultados previsíveis e satisfatórios para os pacientes.
Interpretation Industry in Japan
Authors: Tsuruta Chikako
Published: May 2024

This article examines the current situation of the interpretation industry in Japan. To aid the post-war reconstruction efforts, the Japan Productivity Center organized missions to the US. The interpreters needed for the missions were trained at the US Department of State. Upon their return to Japan, many of these interpreters became professional conference interpreters. Agencies were then set up to provide interpreters for the rapidly growing demand from the government and business. The interpreting agencies played a crucial role in establishing interpreting as a profession. Around this time, the business of conference interpreting also emerged with English as the main language. During the economic boom, interpreters had increasing opportunities to play an active role in the economy as demand from the private sector increased. As foreign companies began to expand into Japan, the number of in-house interpreters increased. Today, interpreters are employed in the government, private, academic, and media sectors, with approximately 80% of the interpretation being English-Japanese. According to the available statistics, the industry as a whole is dominated by small proprietorships that appear to be operated by individual interpreters. In addition to the large comprehensive agencies, a number of niche agencies have appeared in recent years that provide interpreting services for specific industry sectors. Regarding the career path of an interpreter, it is common for English interpreters to attend training institutions run by interpreting agencies and then become freelance interpreters. When training began in the mid-1970s, the courses were mainly attended by female university students. However, increasing numbers of men are now participating in the industry, many of whom are older and have experience in other professions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for interpreters dropped significantly. Although this was only temporary, the pandemic hastened the shift towards online interpreting using IT. Today, interpreters have further opportunities to utilize machine translation tools. Making active use of the technologies available, the interpretation industry in Japan is becoming more diverse and fulfilling its roles in a more diversified setting.

Electronic -Voting System Using Blockchain
Authors: A Dr.Satyanarayana
Published: May 2024

Online voting is a trend that is gaining momentum in modern society. It has great potential to decrease organizational costs and increase voter turnout. It eliminates the need to print ballot papers or open polling stations—voters can vote from wherever there is an Internet connection. Despite these benefits, online voting solutions are viewed with a great deal of caution because they introduce new threats. A single vulnerability can lead to large-scale manipulations of votes. Electronic voting systems must be legitimate, accurate, safe, and convenient when used for elections. Nonetheless, adoption may be limited by potential problems associated with electronic voting sys-tems . Blockchain technology came into the ground to overcome these issues and offers decentralized nodes for electronic voting and is used to produce electronic voting systems mainly because of their end-to-end verification advantages. This technology is a beautiful replacement for traditional electronic voting solutions with distributed, non-repudiation, and security protection characteristics. The following article gives an overview of electronic voting systems based on blockchain technology.

Published: May 2024

After the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Mongolian People’s Republic and the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese community in the MPR emerged as a significant link facilitating bilateral relations. The formation and evolution of this community were intricately connected to the establishment and functioning of the Association of Overseas Chinese in Mongolia and its associated institutions. Throughout this process, the political decisions made by both the Mongolian and Chinese governments played a pivotal role. Particularly for the Chinese side, the Chinese community served as a crucial platform for its foreign policy objectives during this period. Additionally, the broader context of the Socialist Bloc also greatly influenced the development trajectory of the Chinese community in the MPR.
