Authors: Kalinin Maxim , Zavadskii Evgenii , Busygin Alexey
Published: October 2023

Spreading digitalization, flexibility, and autonomy of technological processes in cyber-physical systems entails high security risks corresponding to negative consequences of the destructive actions of adversaries. The paper proposes a comprehensive technique that represents a distributed functional cyber-physical system’s infrastructure as graphs: a functional dependencies graph and a potential attacks graph. Graph-based representation allows us to provide dynamic detection of the multiple compromised nodes in the functional infrastructure and adapt it to rolling intrusions. The experimental modeling with the proposed technique has demonstrated its effectiveness in the use cases of advanced persistent threats and ransomware.
Real-Time 3D Object Detection on Crowded Pedestrians
Authors: Lu Bin , Li Qing , Liang Yanju
Published: October 2023

In the field of autonomous driving, object detection under point clouds is indispensable for environmental perception. In order to achieve the goal of reducing blind spots in perception, many autonomous driving schemes have added low-cost blind-filling LiDAR on the side of the vehicle. Unlike point cloud target detection based on high-performance LiDAR, the blind-filling LiDARs have low vertical angular resolution and are mounted on the side of the vehicle, resulting in easily mixed point clouds of pedestrian targets in close proximity to each other. These characteristics are harmful for target detection. Currently, many research works focus on target detection under high-density LiDAR. These methods cannot effectively deal with the high sparsity of the point clouds, and the recall and detection accuracy of crowded pedestrian targets tend to be low. To overcome these problems, we propose a real-time detection model for crowded pedestrian targets, namely RTCP. To improve computational efficiency, we utilize an attention-based point sampling method to reduce the redundancy of the point clouds, then we obtain new feature tensors by the quantization of the point cloud space and neighborhood fusion in polar coordinates. In order to make it easier for the model to focus on the center position of the target, we propose an object alignment attention module (OAA) for position alignment, and we utilize an additional branch of the targets’ location occupied heatmap to guide the training of the OAA module. These methods improve the model’s robustness against the occlusion of crowded pedestrian targets. Finally, we evaluate the detector on KITTI, JRDB, and our own blind-filling LiDAR dataset, and our algorithm achieved the best trade-off of detection accuracy against runtime efficiency.

Published: October 2023

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its integration into various industries has made it extremely challenging to guarantee IoT systems’ dependability and quality, including scalability, dynamicity, and integration with existing IoT frameworks. However, the essential principles, approaches, and advantages of model-driven IoT testing indicate a promising strategy for overcoming these. This paper proposes a metamodeling-based interoperability and integration testing approach for IoT systems that automates the creation of test cases and the assessment of system performance by utilizing formal models to reflect the behavior and interactions of IoT systems. The proposed model-based testing enables the systematic verification and validation of complex IoT systems by capturing the essential characteristics of IoT devices, networks, and interactions. This study describes the key elements of model-driven IoT testing, including the development of formal models, methods for generating test cases, and the execution and assessment of models. In addition, it examines various modeling formalisms and their use in IoT testing, including state-based, event-driven, and hybrid models. This study examines several methods for creating test cases to ensure thorough and effective testing, such as constraint-based strategies and model coverage requirements. Model-driven IoT testing improves defect detection, expands test coverage, decreases testing effort, and increases system reliability. It also offers an organized and automated method to confirm the efficiency and dependability of IoT systems.

Authors: Gavra Vlad , Pop Ovidiu A. , Dobra Ionut
Published: October 2023

In recent times, the security of sensor networks, especially in the field of IoT, has become a priority. This article focuses on the security features of the Zigbee protocol in Xbee devices developed by Digi International, specifically in the Xbee 3 (XB3-24) devices. Using the TI LaunchXL-CC26X2R1 kit, we intercepted and analyzed packets in real-time using the Wireshark application. The study encompasses various stages of network formation, packet transmission and analysis of security key usage, considering scenarios as follows: without security, distributed security mode and centralized security mode. Our findings highlight the differences in security features of Xbee devices compared to the Zigbee protocol, validating and invalidating methods of establishing security keys, vulnerabilities, strengths, and recommended security measures. We also discovered that security features of the Xbee 3 devices are built around a global link key preconfigured therefore constituting a vulnerability, making those devices suitable for man-in-the-middle and reply attacks. This work not only elucidates the complexities of Zigbee security in Xbee devices but also provides direction for future research for authentication methods using asymmetric encryption algorithms such as digital signature based on RSA and ECDSA.
An Expressway ETC Missing Data Restoration Model Considering Multi-Attribute Features

Published: October 2023

Electronic toll collection (ETC) data mining has become one of the hotspots in the research of intelligent expressway extension applications. Ensuring the integrity of ETC data stands as a critical measure in upholding data quality. ETC data are typical structured data, and although deep learning holds great potential in the ETC data restoration field, its applications in structured data are still in the early stages. To address these issues, we propose an expressway ETC missing transaction data restoration model considering multi-attribute features (MAF). Initially, we employ an entity embedding neural network (EENN) to automatically learn the representation of categorical features in multi-dimensional space, subsequently obtaining embedding vectors from networks that have been adequately trained. Then, we use long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks to extract the changing patterns of vehicle speeds across several continuous sections. Ultimately, we merge the processed features with other features as input, using a three-layer multilayer perceptron (MLP) to complete the ETC data restoration. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted extensive tests using real ETC datasets and compared it with methods commonly used for structured data restoration. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms others in restoration accuracy on two different datasets. Specifically, our sample data size reached around 400,000 entries. Compared to the currently best method, our method improved the restoration accuracy by 19.06% on non-holiday ETC datasets. The MAE and RMSE values reached optimal levels of 12.394 and 23.815, respectively. The fitting degree of the model to the dataset also reached its peak (R2 = 0.993). Meanwhile, the restoration stability of our method on holiday datasets increased by 5.82%. An ablation experiment showed that the EENN and LSTM modules contributed 7.60% and 9% to the restoration accuracy, as well as 4.68% and 7.29% to the restoration stability. This study indicates that the proposed method not only significantly improves the quality of ETC data but also meets the timeliness requirements of big data mining analysis.
Legitimating Misogyny and Femicide: Legal Himpathy and (State) Violence against Women in Iran
Authors: Rahbari Ladan
Published: October 2023

On the fifth of February 2022, a man gruesomely murdered his seventeen-year-old wife, Mona Heydari, in a city in a southern province of Iran. The man then shocked bystanders by strolling in public spaces while carrying his wife’s severed head. This paper focuses on the case of Mona’s killing and investigates the state, media, and online user-created reactions to the incident. The paper aims to (i) offer an in-depth exploration of himpathy with the perpetrator and (ii) investigate the role of the law and the state in the normalization and perpetuation of violence committed by men against women in the name of ‘honor.’ This paper extends the usage of the concept of himpathy (by Manne, 2017) as a cluster of biases that direct sympathy towards men who commit violence against women to the institutional and legal realms. It also draws on the traditional notion of gheirat, referring to protecting one’s ‘honor,’ and explores its role in Iranian law to show that the Iranian legal system hinges upon it, therefore legitimating misogyny and femicide.
Can Grassroots Governments’ Environmental Attention Effectively Improve Air Pollution? Empirical Evidence from Satellite Remote Sensing Technology
Authors: Lin Kai , Shi Yanli , Xu Hong
Published: October 2023

Air pollution poses a global challenge, prompting governments worldwide to implement environmental policies aimed at its mitigation. However, grassroots management is key to the effectiveness of pollution management. Traditional air monitoring, ranging from a specific point to broader areas, has inherent limitations. In contrast, satellite remote sensing technology offers extensive spatial and temporal coverage, enabling real-time monitoring of data transmission. Can the amalgamation of grassroots governance and satellite remote sensing technology significantly enhance air pollution control? This article leverages satellite remote sensing data and county-level economic and social data from China spanning the period 2008 to 2019 to empirically explore the impact and mechanism of government environmental constraints on air pollution in grassroots areas. The following results were found: (1) Grassroots government environmental constraints exert a significant inhibitory effect on air pollution, and this conclusion remains valid after a series of robustness tests. (2) Mechanism tests reveal that grassroots government environmental constraints reduce county-level air pollution by fostering urbanization, enhancing industrial structures, and promoting innovation in green technologies. (3) There exists heterogeneity in the inhibitory effect of grassroots environmental constraints on air pollution, with a more pronounced impact in areas focusing on environmental protection, facing no economic constraints, large-scale, and located in central and western regions. The green governance awareness of a higher-level government shows an interaction effect on the reduction in environmental constraints at the grassroots government level, collectively contributing to the decrease in regional air pollution. The conclusion of this article underscores the vital role of satellite remote sensing technology in pollution control and provides insights into the direction of environmental regulation.
Sociodemographic Analysis of Disability in a Highly Depopulated Rural Region: The Case of Soria, Spain
Authors: Coca Juan R. , Fernández-Portela Julio , Gómez-Redondo Susana , Paramá-Díaz Anabel
Published: October 2023

European regions with a lower population density have greater structural difficulties in ensuring that the daily life of their inhabitants matches that of more populated regions. This problem persists in groups of people who present some type of disability. Soria (Spain) is one of such regions. It is considered the most depopulated region of Southern Europe. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the reality of people with disabilities in one of the provinces with a lower population density. It also seeks to explore the relationship between the perceptions and the reality of the existing structure to infer the promotions or limitations of agency. To this end, we conducted a systematic review of the existing literature, a sociogeographic study of the study context, and a mixed investigation. The results show that the greatest problem lies in the cities and towns located far away from the capital city, causing budget cutbacks and, therefore, reducing the attention to the needs of people with disabilities. However, social solidarity has increased, which is perceived as greater social inclusion for this group.

Published: October 2023

COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy protects infants against symptomatic COVID-19. Vaccination of lactating mothers may offer additional protection, but our understanding of immune responses in breast milk is limited. We, therefore, performed a single-center prospective cohort study of lactating mothers who received a COVID-19 mRNA primary vaccine series to evaluate the durability, breadth, and neutralizing capacity of the antibody responses in breast milk. Spike IgG- and IgA-binding antibodies of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 in serum and breast milk were quantified over 9 months using Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) V-PLEX assays, and ancestral titers were compared to four variants of concern (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma) at a single time point. Neutralizing antibodies against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron BA.4/5 were compared before and after vaccination using a pseudovirus-neutralization assay. Eleven lactating mothers received either Pfizer BNT162b2 (7/11) or Moderna mRNA-1273 (4/11) vaccine primary series. IgG and IgA titers increased in serum and breast milk following each dose, peaking 1–4 weeks after series completion. Titers remained significantly elevated for 7–9 months, except for in breast milk IgA which returned to baseline within 1 month. Furthermore, binding antibodies against all included variants were detected in breast milk collected 1–3 weeks after series completion. However, while vaccination induced a strong neutralizing response against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 in serum and more modest response in breast milk, it did not induce neutralizing antibodies against Omicron BA.4/5 in either specimen type. This study demonstrates that maternal COVID-19 mRNA vaccination may enhance immune protection for infants through breast milk via increased IgG- and IgA-binding-and-neutralizing antibodies; although, variant-specific boosters may be required to optimize immune protection.

Published: October 2023

To determine the rate of parental stress within a pediatric ophthalmology population, parents in an urban or suburban community pediatric ophthalmology clinic were administered the Parental Stress Index Short Form survey. Demographic information and parental depression or anxiety data were collected and analyzed using an independent sample t-test and chi-squared analysis. Stress measures were recorded as percentiles. One hundred and twenty-one surveys revealed the following mean percentiles: Total Stress, 45.9 ± 22.4; Parental Distress (PD), 49.7 ± 19.8; and Parent Child Dysfunctional Interaction (P-CDI), 45.1 ± 23.6. The PD percentiles of the non-married parents, those with positive parental depression or anxiety scores, and those with a high school diploma or less were 55.9 ± 18.5 versus 45.2 ± 19.6, p < 0.01; 55.2 ± 18.6 versus 46.7 ± 19.9, p < 0.05; and 56.8 ± 18.2 versus 47.0 ± 19.8, p < 0.01, respectively. The parents with a high school diploma or less in a suburban environment demonstrated higher PD/P-CDI scores versus those of an urban population. Those with median household incomes (MHI) below USD 60,000 in both the total and suburban populations showed higher PD scores. There is no significant difference in parental stress between the pediatric ophthalmology patients and the general population. The parents who are unmarried, depressed, have a high school degree or less, or an MHI below USD 60,000 experience significantly higher stress levels.
Longer in primary care: a mixed-methods study of the Welsh GP training model
Authors: Cserzo Dorottya , Bullock Alison
Published: October 2023

Background

A new model of GP training was introduced in Wales, whereby trainees spend 1 year in hospital and 2 years in general practice (the 1+2 model), a change from the previous model of 18 months in each setting.

Aim

To evaluate the 1+2 model of GP training in Wales.

Design & setting

Longitudinal mixed-methods evaluation via repeated surveys and focus groups with GP trainers and trainees across the Welsh training schemes.

Method

Yearly surveys and focus groups were undertaken between June 2020 and December 2022. Quantitative survey data were analysed in SPSS. Qualitative survey data and focus group transcripts were analysed thematically.

Results

Spending more time in general practice was seen as a major benefit. The consensus was that general practice is the best place to learn essential consultation skills. Furthermore, general practice was viewed as a flexible educational setting where knowledge gaps can be addressed. The main concern about the 1+2 model was that trainees would miss experience of key specialties. However, as trainees progressed through the training programme, this concern diminished. All trainees and most trainers thought that the benefits of the 1+2 model outweighed drawbacks.

Conclusion

Spending more time in general practice during GP training appears to improve how prepared trainees felt for practice. Future changes should explore options to enhance hospital experience without reducing time spent in general practice.

Felicia Donceanu – The cycle of lieds Three songs for Til on lyrics by George Călinescu
Authors: IRINA SOLOMON ELIZA-PARASCHIVA
Published: October 2023

Born on Moldavian soil, on January 28, 1931, in Bacău, the composer Felicia Donceanu completed her musical studies at the “Ciprian Porumbescu” Conservatory in Bucharest, under the high supervision of some already established personalities of Romanian music. She composed for various genres, from instrumental theater, children's music, to chamber music, stage music, vocal-symphonic, choral, thus exhibiting, with exquisite skill, her mastery of laying down the notes on the musical scale. With a special love for Romanian poetry and literature and beyond, Felicia Donceanu dipped her writing pen in ink to give voice to her music and through the power of her own words. Authentically feeling this vein of poetic art, she also stood out with texts dedicated to various choral works of Romanian composers. She wrote scripts for various musical-choreographic performances, or radio dedicated, and with her painting talent she gave life to illustrations in children's books. As for the admiration that Felicia Donceanu gives to the distinguished man of culture, George Călinescu, it is drawn in two directions, holding a profound respect for the originality of the personality and the works of this illustrious representative of Romanian culture and literature, who ravished souls and became a source of inspiration, both for the young students of the Faculty of Letters and for people of culture in general. It is not surprising that Felicia Donceanu found in the creation of the poet George Călinescu a never-ending source of inspiration. In 1964, the cycle Three songs for Til was born, including the lieds: The Steps, The Leaf and The Living Water. It is based on the love poem structured and rendered in three different forms from a poetic and compositional point of view. Felicia Donceanu thought of the three lieds, in a “suite in pre-classical style: gavotte (The Steps), saraband (The Leaf) and courant (The Living Water)... each of them being doubled by meanings close to popular creation... in the first one, the game..., in the second one, the romance (with depressive, chromatic accents) and in the third one, the enchantment” (Constantinescu, 1966, p. 24). The musical interpretation of the poems is not a simple metaphorical game, the musical character of the poems, in general - far from being just an ornament - being part of the act of creation necessary for a fair reception, because it is created in a certain mood and a special tension of tone, and the reader or listener will have to perceive it in the same tension and texture. The quality of the sound, the form and the point of crystallization of the feeling make up an act of creation and not a borrowing, made by the poet or performer, from life. Poetry is the intimate form of creation, the acquired vocal timbre that identifies itself entirely with the musicality of the content.
Laws of Economics under Socialism
Authors: Gindler Allen
Published: October 2023

This article argues that praxeology, as a general theoretical approach, can explain the emergence of the socialist doctrine. However, socialist laws of economics cannot be derived from praxeology. It is specifically shown that the immutability of market economic laws does not allow society to achieve a full-fledged communist reality. Using the Soviet Union as an example, this article demonstrates that the market economy cannot be eradicated, despite government efforts, but is omnipresent even if it is ostensibly outlawed. Also, this article demonstrates that Ludwig von Mises’s conclusion about the principal impossibility of economic calculation under socialism is fully applicable to the highest stage of communism, as theorized in Marxism. In relation to socialism in a broader sense, as the collectivization of the means of production grows, the magnitude of the impairment of economic calculation grows with it. Socialist thinkers failed to rebuff Mises’s reasoning because all their proposals violated the economic uncertainty principle: the exact price structures before the exchange are unknown and are in superposition.

Published: October 2023

Complementary food for brastfeeding (CFB) can ideally be given at the age of 6 months. But in fact there are still mothers who give CFB when the baby is not yet 6 months old. This causes an increase in mortality and morbidity in infants. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics associated with complementary feeding. This research method is quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling with a total sample of 54 respondents. The results of the study reported that the higher the mother's education, the better the knowledge about giving CFB automatically (OR 7.2, p value 0.005). Mothers with primigravidas increased the risk of good knowledge in giving complementary foods (OR 4.3, nilap p 0.04). The conclusion is that the characteristics associated with increasing knowledge of complementary feeding are high maternal education and parity.

Burn injuries continue to be a global health issue. Incidents of burns often occur within households, where improper management can lead to increased mortality and disability rates. Therefore, health education related to burn management is crucial. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of health education using videos on the knowledge and actions of families in providing first aid for burn injuries. This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted of families with a history of burn injuries within their households. The sample comprised 20 respondents selected through consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and an observation sheet for assessing burn first aid, which underwent validity and reliability testing. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The research findings revealed that the majority of respondents were aged 18-35 years (55%), with the most common occupation being housewives (55%), and the majority had a high school education (50%). The median pre-test knowledge score was 8, while the post-test knowledge score was 17. The median pre-test burn first aid action score was 3, while the post-test score was 8.5. The Wilcoxon test results for knowledge and burn first aid actions before and after health education using videos yielded a p-value of 0.000. In conclusion, health education using videos has a significant impact on the knowledge and actions of families in providing first aid for burn injuries. The researchers recommend that families acquire the proper skills for managing burn injuries to prevent complications.

“SUMMITS OF THE AMERICAS” AS AN ATTEMPT TO REVIVE THE MONROE DOCTRINE IN MODERN CONDITIONS
Authors: Pushkareva V.V.
Published: October 2023

Almost two hundred years, the Monroe doctrine has been an ideological justification of the US policy to promote its interests and subdue the Western Hemisphere, despite statements about its cancellation in February 2013. Over time, the US authorities have used different tools for its implementation. Those tools were based on a specific internal and international situation. A new format of relations - Summits of the Americas - the regular meetings of all the American states' heads (except Cuba) was offered to the neighboring states under new geopolitical conditions at the turn of the 20th-21st century in order to discuss the most burning problems of the region and deal with them. In reality, after almost thirty years of this policy it becomes obvious that the United States are not going to abandon the continuation of their neocolonial course or to solve the most complex socio-economic problems of the peoples of America. At the same time, the latter are against interference in their internal affairs and the dictates of American interests.

Russia is one of the unique countries in the world, whose history is full of events that not only testified and testify to its heroic past and present, but also unfolded the course of its development in diametrically opposite directions, as it was at the beginning and at the end of the twentieth century (1917 - the beginning of the construction of a new socialist society, the emergence of the USSR in 29.12.1922; the collapse of the USSR in 26.12.1991 and the following transition of society to the capitalist path of development). These changes could not but affect the social institutions existing in society, which had to adapt to the changing external environment, find resources for effective functioning in order to achieve the goals set for society. And in all these processes, no matter how trivial it may sound, a person (in the collective sense of the word) played an important role. The social practices implemented by him, inclusiveness or detachment from the processes taking place in society depended on his value orientations and life attitudes. That is why education, considered by us as a social institution that performs, along with other functions, one of the main ones - the formation of value attitudes - deserves close attention and study. The dynamics of the changing conditions mentioned above predetermined the nomination of new tasks that arose in front of the domestic social institute of education, and the results of their solution manifested (and continue to manifest themselves) at all levels of society (macro-, meso- and micro-). The consideration of the domestic social institute of education in the projection of a causal relationship with the events taking place in the world and in society (Soviet and modern Russian) in the modes of social time was the subject of the study, the results of which are proposed in this article. The directions of further development of the domestic social institute of education are analyzed within the framework of its modification in accordance with the requirements of modern Russian society, which defends its sovereignty and independence in the international arena and strives to consolidate positions in all spheres (of science, engineering and technology), allowing to solve the tasks set in the international arena and within the country, achieving an increase in the level and quality of life of the population.

The development of the Minahasa East Coast area into a tourism area has caused a tendency to change land use. Kombi Subdistrict is one of the areas on the East Coast of Minahasa that has experienced changes in land use with many investors building tourism areas there. The rate of land clearing in the area can accelerate the process of erosion. This research was carried out with the aim of knowing the level of soil erosion hazard on the East Coast of Minahasa, especially in Kombi District, in order to prevent soil damage so that environmental sustainability can be maintained and the development of tourism areas in the area can continue. The method used in this research is the overlay method for making digital maps and calculating erosion using the USLE method. The results of the analysis show that the Minahasa East Coast area, especially in Kombi District, has a light erosion hazard level of 1492.10 Ha, a moderate erosion hazard level of 5036.35 Ha, and a severe erosion hazard level of 6970.94 Ha.

Keywords: erosion hazard level, soil

Published: October 2023

Vanilla cultivation is generally propagated vegetatively, namely by stem cuttings, but the growth potential is still very low, so special treatment is required, such as giving growth regulators (ZPT) which can stimulate growth. ZPT which is often found in the market is Auxin which functions to stimulate growth and stimulate cell division and enlargement. The use of auxin NAA growth regulator causes faster and longer root formation, forming a strong, compact and fibrous root system. This study was an experimental study using a completely
randomized design (CRD) consisting of 7 treatments and 5 replications so that the number of plants was 35 plants. The observed variables measured were root growth time, root length, and root dry weight. The results of the research statistically showed that the ZPT NAA treatment had a significant effect on the root appearance and root length variables, but had no significant effect on the root length variable.

Abstrak
Budidaya vanili umumnya diperbanyak secara vegetatif yaitu dengan stek batang, namun potensi tumbuhnya masih sangat rendah sehingga diperlukan perlakuan khusus seperti pemberian zat pengatur tumbuh (ZPT) yang dapat merangsang pertumbuhan. ZPT yang banyak dijumpai di pasaran adalah Auksin yang berfungsi untuk merangsang pertumbuhan dan merangsang pembelahan dan pembesaran sel. Penggunaan zat pengatur tumbuh auksin NAA menyebabkan pembentukan akar lebih cepat dan lama, membentuk sistem perakaran yang kuat, kompak dan berserat. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen dengan menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 7 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan sehingga jumlah tanaman adalah 35 tanaman. Variabel pengamatan yang diukur adalah waktu tumbuh akar, panjang akar, dan berat kering akar. Hasil penelitian secara statistik menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan ZPT NAA berpengaruh nyata terhadap variabel kenampakan akar dan panjang akar, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap variabel panjang akar.
