Authors: Brusenin A. A. , Burjak D. N. , Penjaz' V. N. , Artamonov I. V. 
Published: September 2024

The increasing role of high-precision weapons (HPW) in the weapons system of foreign countries means the need to improve the means and methods of complex camouflage of troops, an integral part of which is the use of aerosols. The article is a continuation of research on the assessment of the effectiveness of camouflage of objects with aerosols based on the calculation of the proportion of space hidden (screened) by aerosol particles for the free passage of visible light carrying information about the object and the surrounding background. According to the authors, when recognizing an object through a moving aerosol structure, in addition to the proportion of free space, its structure also influences camouflage, namely the size of the cells from minimum to maximum, which together make up this space.The purpose of the work is to assess a new camouflage factor, that is, the nature of the distribution in an aerosol cloud of the structure of free space depending on the density of the aerosol (integral concentration, g/m2) along the line of sight (observation) and the size of its particles, μm.Research method. Theoretical modeling of the passage of light through an aerosol cloud using a PC.Discussion. The calculations performed on a PC show the existence of a probabilistic distribution of free space cells by their size (size and area), which make up the total value of free space, previously estimated by us as a whole. The unevenness of the cell size is due to turbulence of the surface air layer with aerosol distributed in it. The calculations showed that the cell size is extremely small: no more than 100 μm.Conclusion. The small size of the cells and their dynamic distribution in space during the propagation of the aerosol cloud can be considered in mathematical terms as an additional term of the probability of camouflage, due to the non-perception (non-distinction) of the camouflaged objects. The term is new and, perhaps, requires clarification, both theoretically and during experiments in an aerosol chamber. But its meaning lies in the existence of a minimum limiting solid angle of difference (perception) by the human eye of pixels of visible information through the moving structure of an aerosol cloud at a certain observation range.

Published: September 2024

Antiplatelet merupakan salah satu pilihan terapi pada penatalaksanaan penyakit jantung koroner (PJK). Terapi standar antiplatelet merupakan kombinasi aspirin dan clopidogrel, namun terkadang menggunakan kombinasi 3 antiplatelet dimana salah satunya yang sering ditambahkan pada terapi standar adalah cilostazol. Cilostazol merupakan inhibitor phosphodiesterase III (PDE3) yang berperan meningkatkan siklik adenosin monofosfat dalam trombosit dan dengan demikian menyebabkan berkurangnya agregasi trombosit. Penambahan cilostazol pada terapi standar antiplatelet kemungkinan tidak dimaksudkan sebagai pencegahan agregasi platelet saja. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah literatur review. Literature review ini dilakukan dengan pencarian studi pada database Google Scholar dan Pubmed. Tahun publikasi dibatasi dari tahun 2013-2023 dalam bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris. Dari hasil pencarian studi diperoleh 5 studi yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Berdasarkan hasil penelusuran pustaka yang sudah dilakukan diperoleh hasil penambahan cilostazol pada terapi antiplatelet standar memiliki manfaat klinis tidak hanya sebagai pencegahan agregasi platelet namum dapat memberikan efek vasodilatasi, antiproliferasi dan pencegahan restenosis. Disimpulkan bahwa penambahan cilostazol memiliki manfaat pada pasien PJK yang menjalani PCI.

This article presents a systematic review of the evolution, trends, and research approaches of cybercrime. Cybercrime has become a significant threat in the digital age, affecting individuals, organizations, and societies worldwide. As technology advances and becomes more accessible, criminals have leveraged these tools to conduct illegal activities in cyberspace. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated this situation, as increased reliance on digital technologies has created new opportunities for cybercriminals. The studies analyzed in this review cover a wide range of topics, from the evolution of attack types and techniques used by cybercriminals to the strategies implemented by organizations and governments to prevent and respond to these threats. Bibliometric analysis by keywords revealed three main research clusters: cybercrime and victimization, machine learning and data mining, and psychological aspects and human behavior. This indicates that research on cybercrime encompasses both technical and sociopsychological aspects, reflecting the multidimensional nature of this phenomenon. Despite advances in research, knowledge gaps and challenges persist, such as the need to develop more advanced methodologies for detecting and attributing attacks, as well as considering the psychological and social aspects that influence the behavior of cybercriminals and victims. This systematic review highlights the complexity and multidimensional nature of cybercrime in the current digital environment. Continuous research and collaboration efforts are required to keep pace with the constantly evolving cyber risks.

Published: September 2024

This research aimed to analyze the perceptions of journalists regarding political populism and the role of the media in its growth. The lack of research on these variables has been an impetus to do such research. Also, the research aimed to examine the differences in perceptions in relation to the type of media, traditional media - online media. The methodology used in this research is mixed methodology. Both the instruments for data collection are a structured questionnaire and semi-structured individual interviews. Participants in this research were 112 journalists working in traditional media and 179 journalists working in online media. Since the research has two samples, one served for the collection of quantitative data and was selected randomly, while the other served for the collection of qualitative data and was selected purposefully. Quantitative data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA). Whereas, the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of this research show that, according to journalists, the media plays an important role in the growth of political populism. The findings also show that journalists had different experiences and statements regarding their experiences with populist reporting. Traditional media journalists were more exposed to attacks, political sabotage, and links, while online media journalists were more exposed to internal pressure to leak information and events of a populist nature. Also from the obtained results, the type of traditional or online media was not a distinguishing factor for the perceptions of journalists regarding political populism and the role of the media in its growth.

Anthropological and Literary Reading of the Sworn Virgins: A Study on the Influence of Tradition in Society and Literature
Authors: Kalo Valbona , Shella Mirela 
Published: September 2024

This article delves into the figure of the Sworn Virgin, or Burrnesha, within Albanian culture, examining its role as both a survival strategy and a form of resistance against patriarchal norms. The practice, where certain women choose to live as men to gain male privileges and responsibilities, is deeply embedded in the patriarchal structures of Albanian society. The novels Virgjëresha by Roland Gjoza and Hana by Elvira Dones are central to this study because they present the Sworn Virgin as a complex symbol of freedom, identity, and social struggle. The analysis aims to illuminate how these literary depictions represent the tensions between traditional gender norms and the quest for personal independence, offering a contrast to the cultural tradition's view of these figures. Through exploring these literary and cultural motifs, the article demonstrates how Albanian literature both reflects and shapes evolving perceptions of gender and social structures in a society undergoing transformation.

Professional Anxiety in Pedagogical Communication: Mitigating Effects of Teaching Methodology
Authors: Lutaj Lindita , Grillo Mukli Helena , Gokaj Rregjina , Muho Anita 
Published: September 2024

Professional anxiety among teachers represents a critical issue within the educational sector, manifesting through a range of challenges. Teachers are confronted with multiple responsibilities and high expectations, all while navigating a constantly evolving educational environment with new demands. This professional anxiety may arise from the inherent challenges in daily teaching practices and the substantial responsibility for student success and achievement. Such anxiety can often impact a teacher's performance, self-esteem, and emotional response to the demands of an increasingly complex school environment. Understanding and addressing this reality is therefore critical to ensuring the well-being and efficacy of teachers in their roles. Additionally, teachers' anxiety may stem from the nature of pedagogical communication, which is often regarded as a specialized form of public speaking, encompassing all its inherent characteristics and challenges. This study aims to identify how professional anxiety affects teachers' pedagogical communication and the role of appropriate teaching methodologies in alleviating this anxiety. The study's population consists of 1,630 teachers of the pre-university education system in Albania. In this study, an online questionnaire was designed with Likert scale questions, which made it possible to use some questions to understand teachers' perceptions. The study focused more on the teacher-student communicative relationship within the school environment, rather than the classifications, types, and problems of students' understanding. At the level of comprehensibility in the process, we excluded the levels of students' understanding (the causes of classifications, types, and problems are not the focus of this study), focusing more on the teacher-student communicative relationship in the school environment. Perceptions of isolation in the classroom emerge as a challenge for teachers, yet most are open to experimenting with new strategies to enhance the learning experience. This openness reflects a positive attitude towards advancing new educational practices. Based on the findings, it is important to include qualitative interviews and further research to identify specific factors that contribute to uncertainty and mistrust. The deepening of teachers' capacities for improved communication techniques and adapting teaching strategies is suggested. Developing support programs for teachers, including training on managing feelings of isolation in the classroom. It is proposed to increase the active participation of students through appropriate teaching strategies. Special attention should be given to the need for training on managing professional uncertainty and employing research methods in teaching.
