Published: February 2021

With the aggravation of market competition, strategic supplier is becoming more and more critical for the success of manufacturing enterprises. Suppler selection, being the critical and foremost activity must ensure that selected suppliers are capable of supporting the long-term development of organizations. Hence, strategic supplier selection must be restructures considering the long-term relationships and prospects for sustainable cooperation. This paper proposes a novel multi-stage multi-attribute group decision making method under an interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy linguistic set (IVq-ROFLS) environment considering the decision makers’ (DMs) psychological state in the group decision-making process. First, the initial comprehensive fuzzy evaluations of DMs are represented as IVq-ROFLS. Subsequently, two new operators are proposed for aggregating different stages and DMs’ preferences respectively by extending generalized weighted averaging (GWA) to IVq-ROFLS context. Later, a new hamming distance based linear programming method based on entropy measure and score function is introduced to evaluate the unknown criteria weights. Additionally, the Euclidean distance is employed to compute the gain and loss matrix, and objects are prioritized by extending the popular Prospect theory (PT) method to the IVq-ROFLS context. Finally, the practical use of the proposed decision framework is validated by using a strategic supplier selection problem, as well as the effectiveness and applicability of the framework are discussed by using comparative analysis with other methods.

Published: February 2021

With the many varieties of AI hardware prevailing on the market, it is often hard to decide which one is the most suitable to use but not only with the best performance. As there is an industry-wide trend demand for deep learning deployment, the inference benchmark for the effectiveness of DNN processor becomes important and is of great help to select and optimize AI hardware. To systematically benchmark deep learning deployment platforms, and give more objective and useful metrics comparison. In this paper, an end to end benchmark evaluation system was brought up called IBD, it combined 4 steps include three components with 6 metrics. The performance comparison results are obtained from the chipsets from Qualcomm, HiSilicon, and NVIDIA, which can provide hardware acceleration for AI inference. To comprehensively reflect the current status of the DNN processor deploying performance, we chose six devices from three kinds of deployment scenarios which are cloud, desktop and mobile, ten models from three different kinds of applications with diverse characteristics are selected, and all these models are trained from three major training frameworks. Several important observations were made by using our methodologies. Experimental results showed that workload diversity should focus on the difference came from training frameworks, inference frameworks with specific processors, input size and precision (floating and quantized).

Published: February 2021

Low penetrance of Parkinson’s disease (PD) associated with GBA pathogenic variants indicates the presence of modifiers genes. Clusters of PD cases in certain families with GBA variants would serve as a strong evidence for the clinical relevance of such modifiers. We studied eight family trees of non-Parkinsonian, GBA-N370S homozygote, Gaucher probands, with multiple cases of PD. Differences in PD risk associated with different GBA variants were balanced by variant homozygosity. In these families, all PD cases stemmed from only one of the proband’s parents. This observation provides a direct epidemiological evidence for genetic modifiers determining PD risk in GBA variant carriers.

Published: February 2021

Background: Rigidity is a key clinical feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but in a very early phase of the disease it may be absent and can be enhanced through active movements of the arm contralateral to the one being tested. Objective: To evaluate in a large cohort of neurologically and cognitively healthy (NCH) subjects aged 18–90 years if activation-induced rigidity (AR) is present in all age classes, and if there are biological differences between subjects showing AR (AR+) and not showing AR (AR-). Methods: 2,228 NCH subjects categorized as young adult (18–44 years), adult (45–64 years), elderly (65–74 years), and old/oldest-old (75–90 years) were included in the analysis, and underwent brain MRI. White matter hyperintensities were assessed through two visual rating scales. Lacunes were also rated. Atrophy of the caudate nuclei and ventricular enlargement were assessed through the bicaudate ratio and the lateral ventricles to brain ratio. To elicit AR, the Froment’s maneuver (FM) and the instructions of the UPDRS-ME were used. Results: Among the sample, 1,689 (75.81%) subjects showed AR, of which 1,270 (57.00%) subjects showed AR by using FM, and 419 (18.81%) showed AR by using UPDRS-ME instructions. The latter subjects also showed AR by using FM. The number of AR+ subjects significantly increased with increasing age, regardless of the activation maneuver used. In each age class, the number of AR+ subjects was significantly higher by using the FM than the UPDRS-ME instructions. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that AR is likely to be one of the signs of the prodromal phase of PD.

Authors: Clemente Miguel , Reig-Botella Adela , de Lange Annet , Detaille Sarah
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Youth, unemployment and poverty confirm a set of situations that are often inseparable. An example of this is the case of young people from the Andean coca areas. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a psychological test that can be used as a predictor of adequate police performance for use in police force recruitment. METHODS: The study comprised a sample of 713 young people, who were selected to join a pre-police training program designed to allow them to subsequently join the Peruvian police force. A new 200-item instrument, called Nemesis, was created. Derogatis’ SCL-90 test was administered to determine the validity of the new instrument. The suitability of the items for the future questionnaire was determined through factor analysis, which reduced the questionnaire to 14 items. Logistic regression was used to determine whether the items on the scale could predict possible admittance into the police training academy. RESULTS: A statistical regression analysis showed that the global percentage of correct predictions exceeded chance by almost 15%. Based on this analysis, the scale was determined to be valid. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed objective of verifying the psychometric properties of the Nemesis scale was fulfilled, as the scale has adequate reliability and validity.

Published: February 2021

Background: Work and family life are the two basic components of the individuals’ life and each one affects the other. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational stress, mental health and marital satisfaction among Iranian nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 randomly selected nurses. The 35 items hospital stress scale, Enrich Marital Satisfaction questionnaire and Scl-25 mental health questionnaire were used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample t-test and analysis of variance and regression analysis were used. Results: Inverse correlations were observed between the scores of job stress and mental health (r = –0.468, p = 0.001) and marital satisfaction (r = –0.517, p = 0.001). More than 0.74% of variation in marital satisfaction is explained by the components of occupational stress. Conclusion: The results revealed that occupational stress plays a decisive role in nurses’ marital satisfaction and mental health. Due to the destructive effects of occupational stress on the people’s mental health, interpersonal relationships and on their efficacy in their job, establishment of some counseling services for nurses to be used by them periodically or by need, can help them to manage their stress level and better management of their family life problems. Moreover, in-service courses or workshops on stress management may help nurses to possess appropriate knowledge and skills on stress management.

Published: February 2021

Background: A worker’s work habits can affect their health, both physically and psychologically. Negative results have been associated with work demands (stress, anxiety and depression). Objective: In the present research we carried out a predictive study of work addiction by applying three questionnaires on depression and anxiety. Methods: In this study, the participants were 332 workers, obtained through non-probabilistic sampling. The FACTOR (version 7.2) and SPSS 23.0 programs were used. Results: The results of the correlation analysis show both positive and negative associations with the variables studied. We conclude that work addiction variables can predict anxiety and depression because we found that two variables predict 18.3% of depression and 20.3% of anxiety, which are feelings generated by work and excessive work. Conclusion: It can be concluded that feelings generated by work and excessive work predict anxiety and depression, thus the present research helps to broaden knowledge on work addiction, promoting a healthy lifestyle and prevent absenteeism.

Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Airplane de-icing technicians work from either an open-basket or closed-basket. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to identify the tasks that have an influence on the physical fatigue of open-basket aircraft de-icing technicians. METHODS: In a Canadian airport during the winter of 2016–2017, a field study was conducted in which the heart rate of 12 volunteer participants was collected. The data was analyzed along with the 22 tasks that make up the activity of open-basket aircraft de-icing. For each participant, the mean absolute cardiac cost per task was compared. The evolution of the cardiac signal based on the resting heart rate and steady state limit was also characterized. RESULTS: According to the cumulative results fatigue occurs for periodic tasks as well as double tasks. More precisely, the most physically fatiguing tasks are spraying de-icing and anti-icing fluids, moving the basket and truck, as well as tactile control and de-icing quality control at ground level. CONCLUSIONS: Similar studies would need to be conducted in other aircraft de-icing facilities to improve the generalization of the results.

Authors: Pinel-Jacquemin Stéphanie , Althaus Virginie , Boissel Anne
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: To address the quality of life of patients in Permanent Vegetative or Minimally Conscious States, the occupational health of those around them must also be taken into account. OBJECTIVE: By analyzing how the available scientific literature has addressed this issue, this study seeks to better understand how caring for these patients affects healthcare professionals’ psychological and health status. METHODS: We identified and selected 15 publications from both Anglophone and Francophone databases, i.e., Cairn, Francis, HAL, PsycINFO, PubMed, ResearchGate and ScienceDirect. RESULTS: The reviewed publications and studies highlight the difficulties healthcare professionals face with regard to the relationship with patients and their families. Two studies in particular suggest that the difficulties these professionals experience daily can lead to burnout. Other potential burnout factors include the healthcare profession category, the work environment, lack of training and the time spent working with this specific group of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our literature review highlights the institutional and personal resources that may prevent these occupational risks. It also provides avenues for future research.

Authors: Choudhary Chetana , Rajoria Lata , Kuntal Chelsae , Hemani Sunita , Bansal Aditi , Bala Suman
Published: February 2021

Introduction: The earliest proof of a viable pregnancy is obtained when cardiac activity of the embryo can be observed. Transvaginal sonography can accurately demonstrate embryonic heart rate at 6 weeks of gestational age by using M-mode transvaginal sonography. Slow embryonic heart rate at 6-7 weeks of gestational age is associated with high rate of first trimester pregnancy loss.

AIM:  The study was aimed to evaluate the role of embryonic heart rate (EHR) of early pregnancies as predictive factor of adverse outcome at end of first trimester of pregnancy.

Methods: This observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Zenana Hospital, SMS Medical College, Jaipur. It included 300 pregnant women between 6 weeks to 9 weeks of gestational age attending antenatal OPD. Embryonic heart rate was measured by transvaginal sonography. Embryonic heart rate was classified as slow, if it was fewer than 110 beats/ mint or outcome was measured as occurance of spontaneous pregnancy loss prior to 12 weeks.

Results: Out of 300 cases, 290 (96.67%) had embryonic heart rate ?100 beats per minutes and 10(3.33%) had embryonic heart rate <100 beats per minutes. Out of these 290, (Embryonic heart rate ?100 beats per minutes), 284 (97.93%) had good prognosis and 6 (2.07%) had abortion. In 10 women (Embryonic heart rate <100 beats per minutes), 3 (30.00%) had good prognosis and 7 (70.00%) had abortion. This observation was statistically significant.

Conclusion: Slow embryonic heart rate on ultrasonography reduced the success of pregnancy and may lead to abortion.

Authors: Maheshwari Shruti , Rajoria Lata , Hemani Sunita , Kuntal Chelsea
Published: February 2021

Background: The risk to the fetus increases after term (>42 weeks) of gestation mainly due to increasing fetal weight, decline in placental function, oligohydraminos which increases the chances of cord compression, and me conium aspiration.Perinatal mortality after 42 weeks is twice as compared to the perinatal mortality at 40 weeks and by 44 weeks the rate is increased up to threefold. In cases of prolonged pregnancy, fetus is more at risk of hypoxia during labor than a fetus at term

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study of fetomaternal outcome in post dated pregnancy(Women beyond 40 weeks of gestation) was carried in department of obstetrics and gynecology SMS medical college jaipur in 40 patients from October 2019 to January 2020.

Results: Majority patients required cesarean section (52%).Among patients who were given induction 48% had successful induction, maximum were induced by dinoprostone gel (50%).15% of babies delivered required NICU admission.

Conclusion: The present study, we conclude that, the post dated pregnancy can be considered as a high risk factor from the point of view of maternal and fetal outcome as there is more fetal and maternal morbidity

Using Wikipedia for project-based learning in information literacy instruction
Authors: Haren Shonn M. , DeJonghe Erika , Hottinger Paul , Romero Sally
Published: February 2021

Wikipedia holds an ambiguous position in information literacy instruction. Long the go-to example of an untrustworthy online source to avoid, librarians are increasingly using it to illustrate the application of a variety of information literacy concepts. Beginning in Fall 2017, students enrolled in a credit-bearing information literacy course at Cal Poly Pomona were given as a final project, a Wikipedia stub (a basic, incomplete article) and assigned to apply the concepts they had been taught throughout the semester to add information, sources and images, in order to “improve” it. This paper discusses the incorporation of Wikipedia into a credit-bearing course as a form of project-based learning, the development of the course final over several quarters/semesters of class, the benefits and drawbacks of the use of online tutorials and observation of the results of student engagement with the assignment.
Outreach librarian to black students : A de facto role
Authors: Spencer Katrina
Published: February 2021

While some predominantly white institutions can offer unique and laudable educational experiences to Black college students, they can also lack resources that provide these same students with a culturally affirming milieu. Black faculty and staff can organize their time, energy and resources to offer culturally enriching experiences for Black students. However, this additional labor is not systematically seen, cataloged or recognized as a core or essential duty. The author describes some effective forms of outreach from her personal experience and simultaneously asks whose job it is to meet the cultural needs of this population.

PROFESIONALNA VOJSKA BREZ STROKOVNE AVTONOMIJE – ALI JE MOGOČE?
Authors: FURLAN BRANIMIR
Published: February 2021

Podobno kot vojske drugih postkomunističnih držav se Slovenska vojska srečuje z izzivi profesionalizacije, pri čemer se avtor sprašuje, kakšen je njen končni cilj. Na podlagi pogledov različnih avtorjev, analiz o aktualni stopnji profesionalizacije Slovenske vojske in opravljene raziskave ugotavlja pomen strokovne avtonomnosti pri vzpostavljanju profesionalne vojske ter navaja škodljive učinke njenega omeje- vanja na učinkovitost vojske in zadovoljstvo vojaškega vrha. Članek prinaša pogled na razvojne faze profesionalizacije vojske in vojaško profesijo kot njen končni cilj, pri čemer je v ospredju vprašanje pristojnosti in odgovornosti vojske za lasten strokoven razvoj. Like the armed forces of other post-communist countries, the Slovenian Armed Forces is facing, many challenges of the professionalization. The author questions its final goal. Based on other authors’ opinions, analysis of the current level of pro- fessionalization of the Slovenian Armed Forces, as well as the results of his own research, he defines the significance of professional autonomy for the establishment of professional armed forces and points out how limited professional autonomy ne- gatively impacts the military’s effectiveness and the satisfaction of the military lea- dership thereof. The article provides an overview of different developmental phases in the military professionalization process and the military profession as its final goal, placing focus on the Slovenian Armed Forces’ own responsibility and authority for its professional development.
PRENOVA SISTEMA ZA OSKRBO Z UNIFORMO V SLOVENSKI VOJSKI
Authors: BOSOTINA VALTER , LAVTAR BRANKO
Published: February 2021

V preteklosti je Slovenska vojska (SV) uporabljala različne načine zagotavljanja uniform in športne opreme. Trenutni centralizirani sistem za oskrbo z uniformo v SV ni učinkovit. V prispevku predstavljamo rezultate raziskave o vzrokih za njegovo neučinkovitost. Čeprav je vzrokov več, menimo, da sta dva bistvena: nezadostna finančna sredstva za nabavo potrebnih količin uniform in zapletenost postopkov javnega naročanja. Težave ne bi rešilo ponovno uvajanje intendantskih servisov v vojašnice SV. Centraliziran sistem oskrbe z uniformami v SV je edina racional- na rešitev in odgovor na ekonomske izzive. Prispevek ponuja ukrepe za odpravo ugotovljenih pomanjkljivosti in izboljšavo učinkovitosti sistema. Predlagamo tudi uvedbo točkovnega sistema dodeljevanja uniforme (že uveden v policijo in kaže pozitivne rezultate), oblikovanje mobilnega (potujočega) intendantskega servisa, nakup 3D-telesnega snemalnika ter vzpostavitev delovanja trgovine oziroma trgovin z vojaško opremo. Prispevek je namenjen širši javnosti, odgovornim osebam v SV pa ponuja izhodišče za odločanje o prenovi sistema oskrbe z uniformami v SV.

In the past, the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) used different methods of providing uniforms and sports equipment. The existing centralized uniform supply system, however, is not effective. The present paper presents the results of research, which focused on the causes for the inefficiency of the existing system. Despite a larger number of causes, we believe that there are two crucial ones: insufficient financial resources to purchase the necessary quantities of uniforms, and problems with the implementation of public procurement procedures. The reintroduction of commissa- ry services in the barracks would not solve the problem. Centralized uniform supply system in the SAF is the only rational solution and answer to the economic challen- ges. This article provides appropriate steps for the renovation of the uniform supply system in the SAF. The authors recommend the measures necessary to abolish the identified shortcomings and improve its effectiveness. We thus propose the introduc- tion of a debit points system for uniform allocation (already introduced in the police and showing positive results), the establishment of a mobile commissary service, the purchase of a 3D body scanner and the establishment of store or a chain of stores selling uniforms and military equipment. The article is mainly intended for the general public, but it provides the responsible authorities in the SAF with a starting point for the decision-making on the reform of the uniform-supply system.
NOV PRISTOP NAPOVEDOVANJA IN ODLOČANJA V PROCESU IZBIRE IN DELOVANJA NA CILJ
Authors: JURTELA JURIJ
Published: February 2021

Predmet raziskovanja so procesi odločanja na podlagi večkriterijskih odločitvenih modelov na podlagi mehke logike. Kot interdisciplinarno je področje uporabno tudi v vojaških procesih odločanja, kjer se že uporablja v tehniki vodenja različnih vojaških sistemov in procesih odločanja nabave specialnih vojaških sredstev. Zaznani so pristopi, ki so bližje obravnavani temi procesov odločanja in obvladujejo bolj celovita področja delovanja. Predvsem so z njimi že bile ocenjene grožnje delovanja in ovrednotene metode napovedovanja rezultatov. Kot neraziskane vojaške teme ostajajo procesi odločanja. Ti so zaradi svoje kompleksnosti nekoliko zahtevnejša tema in hkrati večji izziv. Realizacija sistema, ki na podlagi večkriterijskih odločitvenih modelov lažje, hitreje in uspešneje napove odločitveni proces, pa je osnovni cilj dela. The subject of research is the processes of making decisions on the basis of multi- criteria decision models based on fuzzy logic. As an interdisciplinary field, it comes useful in military decision-making processes. In this respect, it is already being used in various military-oriented management systems and decision-making processes in the procurement of specialized military assets. Some approaches have been identified that are closer to the discussed subject of decision-making processes and control more com- prehensive areas of operation. They have mainly been used to assess operation threats and evaluate result prediction methods. Decision-making processes thus remain a non- explored military issue. Due to their complexity, they remain a somewhat difficult topic and at the same time more challenging. The basic aim of this work is therefore the realization of a system, which uses multi-criteria decision-making models to facilitate, speed up and predict more successfully the decision-making process.

JOB ORDER INPUT FOR EFFICIENT EXACT MINIMIZATION OF TOTAL TARDINESS IN TIGHT-TARDY PROGRESSIVE SINGLE MACHINE SCHEDULING WITH IDLING-FREE PREEMPTIONS

Abstract. A schedule ensuring the exactly minimal total tardiness can be found with the respective integer linear programming problem. An open question is whether the exact schedule computation time changes if the job release dates are input into the model in reverse order. The goal is to ascertain whether the job order in tight-tardy progressive single machine scheduling with idling-free preemptions influences the speed of computing the exact solution. The Boolean linear programming model provided for finding schedules with the minimal total tardiness is used. To achieve the said goal, a computational study is carried out with the purpose of estimating the averaged computation time for both ascending and descending orders of job release dates. Instances of the job scheduling problem are generated so that schedules which can be obtained trivially, without the exact model, are excluded. As in the case of equal-length jobs, it has been ascertained that the job order really influences the speed of computing schedules whose total tardiness is minimal. Scheduling two to five jobs is executed on average faster by the descending job order input, where 1 to 3 % speed-up is expected. Further increment of the number of jobs to be scheduled cannot guarantee any speed-up even on average. This result is similar to that in the case of equal-length jobs, but there is no regularity in such an efficient job order input. Without any assurance for a single job scheduling problem, the efficient exact minimization of total tardiness by the descending job order input must be treated as on average only.

The presented paper investigates the problem of ensuring the safety of modern vessels, represented as complex organizational and technical systems. This study solves the task of diagnosing and predicting the level of ships’ operational reliability using a hybrid expert system based on a combination of a neural network and fuzzy logic. Trends in modern control systems show that they must be adaptive and intelligent. However, these requirements cannot be met by expert systems based only on fuzzy logic. This work explores the possibility of combining neural network modules with fuzzy logic and considers the features of emergency management stages based on the offered hybrid expert system. The input information arrives in a knowledge base through gauges, where it is structured and distributed in the form of performance indicators. Emergency recommendations for the operator are formed as a result of a combination of performance indicators available in the knowledge base. Modules of the neural network and fuzzy logic form a system for assessing a complex technical system’s health based on calculated estimates of the health of technical nodes. In addition, the authors formed a hierarchy of factors affecting the reliability of the system. While developing the knowledge base, critical values for each variable influencing the system performance are set, and when the values are reached, the operation mode becomes an emergency. The authors chose a multilayer perceptron with a layer of recurrent neurons and inputs as fed factors and criteria for performance; one output displays the value of system performance. Prediction of the technical state of the system is made based on time series analysis. The system with six variables was used as a test set, three of which are non-linguistic (efficiency coefficient, temperature, and pressure). The standard linguistic variable, calculated by the neural network, includes speed, fuel consumption, and wear of the node. The fuzzy logic module was used to form recommendations for the prevention or elimination of an emergency.

Wireless communication systems are considered, the main task of which is to increase their spectral (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) in conditions of limited frequency and energy resources. Additional use of the spatial resource based on flexible and universal methods of signals Space-Time Coding (STC) in MIMO-systems (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) can significantly increase the SE and EE values, as well as significantly improve the capabilities and conditions for EE exchange on SE. The advantages and disadvantages of Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding (OSTBC) and Non-Orthogonal STBC (NOSTBC) are shown. Two main methods of synthesis of spectrally and energy-efficient information transmission methods are demonstrated. The first method is implemented by creating Perfect-codes that simultaneously achieve maximum diversity and multiplexing gains. The exponential computational decoding complexity of such codes makes it impossible for their practical implementation in mobile terminals at the present stage of development of circuitry. The second method of synthesis is based on improving the simple basic STC methods in terms of increasing the SE and EE by creating Signal-Code Constructions (SCC), which have the advantages of the basic STC methods and are devoid of the disadvantages inherent in Perfect-codes. A technique for the synthesis of SCC is proposed, the essence of which is to determine the priority areas (by the value of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)) of using the STC and corresponding signal constellations, which provide the maximum SE for a guaranteed Bit Error Rate (BER). It was found that MIMO 2x2 with Alamouti OSTBC has an advantage in terms of EE over NOSTBC type VBLAST for SE not more than 8 b/s/Hz and SNR under 35 dB, BER not exceeding 10-5. In MIMO 4x4, OSTBC codes are inferior to NOSTBC in terms of EE. VBLAST code allows to provide SE 4 - 8 b/s/Hz at SNR 10 - 20 dB, BER not exceeding 10-5. Based on the results obtained, propositions for further improvement of OSTBC and NOSTBC are formulated.

The quality of service (QoS) characteristics in any telecommunication system depend on its scheme, requirements servicing rules and, to the greatest extent, on the type of traffic generated by the system requirements flow. In packet communication networks, a mathematical model of self-similar traffic is used, where the time interval between packets is described by Pareto or Weibull distributions. With an increase in the degree of self-similarity of packet traffic, the QoS characteristics in the system significantly deteriorate compared to servicing, for example, Poisson traffic. But for such traffic there is no reliable methodology for calculating the characteristics of the quality of service. The degree of self­similarity of traffic is determined by the Hurst exponent H or the coefficient of self-similarity. The method of increasing the accuracy of calculating the quality of service characteristics in a packet communication network with self-similar traffic due to a more accurate determination of the self-similarity coefficient or Hurst exponent depending on the parameters of the probability function of the distribution of the time interval between packets is analyzed. For self-similar traffic, the accuracy of new formulas for calculating the traffic self-similarity coefficient based on the shape parameter of the probability distribution has been verified. After a more accurate determination of the Hurst exponent, the average value of the number of packets in the system is calculated using the Norros formula, and then, from the approximation of the distribution function of the system states, the probability of waiting for packet service is calculated. With increasing accuracy of calculating the Hurst exponent, the accuracy of calculating the very characteristics of the quality of service also increases. Simulation confirmed the higher accuracy of these methods for calculating QoS characteristics in a system with self-similar traffic. Moreover, the differences in simulation and calculation results do not exceed 3 ... 5%.

The study is aimed at identifying the influence of information security protocols used in cryptocurrencies on the formation of the value of cryptocurrencies and fluctuations in their value. A comparison is made of the value fluctuations against the US dollar. Attention is paid to transaction security algorithms - protocols for protecting information from outside influence. The reasons for the sharp changes in cost are considered. Considering that the phenomenon called "cryptocurrency" is quite new, but at the same time attractive to many, the study of this phenomenon can be useful both from a practical and scientific point of view. Research for practitioners can have the effect of avoiding unpromising areas in cryptocurrency development. Scientific research could answer what explains the existence of this phenomenon. The article notes that the phenomenon is extremely insufficiently discussed in the scientific community (according to the information that we have). The main means of forming an idea about the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies are separate disparate messages on social networks, and forums of people united by this topic. Probably the phenomenon does not fit well with the classical concept of "money", therefore it is perceived ambiguously. It is little defined how the improvement of software (technical) measures affect the popularity of cryptocurrencies, is there a dependence on other factors? This article examines information security protocols as a factor influencing the popularity of cryptocurrencies. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that there is no direct and unambiguous dependence on the improvement of information security protocols for cryptocurrencies and the demand for them. At the same time, the article analyzes other factors and proposes an improved formula for assessing the potential attractiveness of cryptocurrencies.
