Рассматривается проблема формирования цифровой грамотности у студентов как важнейшей составляющей ИКТ-компетентности. Представлены материалы эмпирического исследования, направленного на определение уровня, структурно-содержательных характеристик цифровой грамотности будущих специалистов образовательной сферы, показано их отношение к использованию цифровых средств в обучении и профессиональной деятельности. Установлено, что цифровая грамотность у будущих специалистов образовательной сферы соответствует «продвинутому» (среднему) уровню. У будущих педагогов-психологов он наименьший. Выявлено, что отношение у будущих специалистов образовательной сферы к использованию в обучении цифровых средств и технологий носит вариативный и неоднозначный характер: от их неприятия до творческого использования. Структурно-содержательные характеристики цифровой грамотности имеют более высокие показатели по параметрам, обусловленным личным или учебным интересом обучающихся, и заниженные, когда за ними обнаруживается профессионально-цифровая необходимость.
The problem of the formation of digital literacy among students as the most important component of ICT competence is considered. The materials of an empirical study aimed at determining the level, structural and content characteristics of digital literacy of future specialists in the educational sphere are presented, their attitude to the use of digital tools in training and professional activities is shown. It has been established that the digital literacy of future educational specialists corresponds to the “advanced” (medium) level. For future educational psychologists, it is the smallest. It was revealed that the attitude of future educational specialists to the use of digital tools and technologies in teaching is variable and ambiguous: from their rejection to creative use. The structural and content characteristics of digital literacy have higher indicators in terms of parameters due to the personal or educational interest of students, and underestimated when a professional digital need is found behind them.

Authors: Raj T S Preetham , C Nirmala 
Published: December 2023

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor arising in the sinonasal tract, having combined histological features of teratoma and carcinosarcoma. Here, we are presenting a case of sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma in a 44 year‑old male patient. 44 year old male presented to us with complains of nasal obstruction and intermittent epistaxis since 1 month. On examination polypoidal mass was noted in left nasal cavity which bleeds on touch. On MRI, well defined heterogeneously enhancing lesion completely filling the left nasal cavity was noted. Histopathological examination of resected specimen revealed, malignant epithelial components being adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, mesenchymal component composed of spindle cells, along with primitive mesenchymal and blastemal components. Immunohistochemistry showed epithelial and stromal markers positive for Cytokeratin and Vimentin respectively. Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (TCS) is a rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm characterized by the combination of malignant teratoma and carcinosarcoma. Most common presentation being nasal obstruction and epistaxis with male preponderance. The tumor shows heterogeneous morphology with varying proportions of benign and malignant epithelial, mesenchymal, and blastemal components. Less than 100 cases have been reported in literature. Teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare aggressive sinonasal tumor. Total excision of the tumor and aggressive sampling for histopathological examination is necessary to avoid misdiagnosis of olfactory neuroblastoma and carcinosarcoma.

Published: December 2023

Background and Aim: Identifying sound localization defects in children and using appropriate rehabilitation methods lead to improve their problem to use binaural processing skills to successfully suppress background noise and selectively attend to a particular auditory source. This pilot study aims to design a game for auditory training of children with Spatial Processing Disorder (SPD) in Iran and compare their performance in engagement time and speech recognition in noise with those of normal peers.
Methods: The game application was designed based on the spatial separation of target and competing stimuli by applying head-related transfer functions. The child’s task was to identify the picture of the target word from among the displayed options. Participants were 24 children with SPD and 27 normal peers aged 7–9 years, who performed the speech recognition tasks using the designed game.
Results: The game was fascinating and easy to use for most participants. There was no significant difference in mean engagement time between the two groups. The mean engagement time of participants was significantly different between the two groups in terms of age. The children with SPD obtained lower scores in speech recognition in noise tasks. There was no significant difference in speech recognition scores between girls and boys.
Conclusion: The designed game application has the potential for speech recognition in- noise training of children with SPD in Iran. It is a fascinating and user-friendly tool for simulating the real-life auditory situations for these children.
Keywords: Smart game; speech recognition; application; auditory training; design; spatial auditory processing disorder.

Authors: Harati Mina , Javanbakht Mohanna , Vahedi Mohsen 
Published: December 2023

Background and Aim: One of the important loudness perception problems is hyperacusis. It is generally defined as sensitivity to average-intensity sounds, which are perceived as excessively loud or uncomfortable. Assessing symptoms of sound intolerance and their impact on patients’ lives is crucial. The study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Inventory of Hyperacusis Symptoms (IHS), assess its validity in differentiating normal-hearing and hyperacusis adults, and measure its cutoff point.
Methods: The questionnaire was translated according to the international quality of life assessment protocol. After determining both qualitative and quantitative face validity and content validity, it was completed by 120 adults (60 with normal hearing and 60 with hyperacusis) to evaluate the differential validity and reliability. The reliability assessment was conducted using the test-retest method for all participants. For assessing the convergent validity, the correlation of the Persian IHS score with the score of the Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ) was evaluated.
Results: The questionnaire had good face validity and content validity. The Cronbach coefficient α was 0.93 for the overall scale. The Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC=0.97) confirmed reliability. The cutoff point of the Persian IHS score was 48, with 91% sensitivity and 96% specificity. Additionally, a strong significant correlation was found between the scores of IHS and HQ (r=0.82).
Conclusion: The Persian version of the IHS has high validity and reliability for use in hyperacusis clinics and research.

Published: December 2023

Background and Aim: Questionnaires are useful tools for clinicians. This study aimed to translate the Dizziness Handicap Inventory for Patient Caregivers (DHI-PC) into Persian (DHI-PC-P) and assess its psychometric properties for children aged 5–12 years.
Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical psychometrics study. After obtaining permission from the developers of the DHI-PC, translation into Persian and cross-cultural adaptation were done according to the international guidelines for self-assessment tools recommended by the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons. Participants were 21 parents (mean age: 38.05 years, SD=6.1 years, 18 female) and their children with dizziness (mean age
8.69 years, SD=2.41 years, 9 female) between the ages of 5–12 years old. Face validity, content validity, and test-retest reliability at an interval of 14–21 days were evaluated for the DHI-PC-P.
Results: The face validity was confirmed qualitatively by the experts’ opinions and quantitatively by calculating the item impact score. Content validity was confirmed by calculating the content validity index and the content validity ratio (0.97 and 0.86, respectively). The internal consistency was good (Cronbach’s alpha=0.90). For the test- retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient was obtained 0.94, indicating an excellent reliability.
Conclusion: The DHI-PC-P can be used clinically as a valid and reliable tool for children with dizziness aged 5–12 years.

The subject of the study is the processes of ensuring the reliability and security of information in cyber-physical space. The objective is to develop recommendations for the implementation of a method of information security in cyber-physical space. The development is based on the technology of ultra-wideband signals circulating in wireless communication channels. The task is to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the airborne wireless mobile communication network, which is the main component of cyberspace and its most vulnerable link to destructive influences. Methods used: methods of analytical modelling and time-position pulse coding. The following results were obtained. It is shown that in order to ensure high quality of wireless network operation, it is necessary to expand its bandwidth, which is limited by the physical resource of the radio frequency spectrum. It is proposed to overcome this contradiction by applying the technology of ultra-wideband signals, the base of which is much larger than one. In this case, the information signal is emitted without a carrier frequency simultaneously in the entire frequency band, provided that the signal level is lower than the noise level. The method of positional-time coding is used, in which each information bit is encoded by hundreds of ultra-short chip pulses arriving in a certain sequence. In such wireless communication systems, the use of autocorrelation reception of modulated ultra-wideband signals is proposed. A comparative analysis has shown that the wireless network with the best reliability and noise immunity is the one where the time separation of the reference and information signals is applied. During the first half of the bit interval, the switch closes the transmitter output directly to the ultra-wideband signal generator, forming a reference signal. In the middle of the bit interval, the switcher switches the output to one of two possible positions depending on the signal "zero" or "one", forming the information part of the signal. Conclusions. Systems with autocorrelation reception and separate transmission of reference and information signals provide a high level of structural
Class-Incremental Learning for Generative Classifiers based on Class Enhancement
Authors: Lu Huibin , Li Yan , Wen Shuhuan , Gao Le , Li Zhuoyi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Incremental learning of new classes by neural network models would lead to catastrophic forgetting of old classes. To address this problem, this paper proposes a class-incremental learning method for generative classifiers based on class enhancement. First, in order to increase the gap between old and new classes, we train an independent conditional variational auto-encoder for each class that arrives at each stage and reserve the trained weights to record the information of that class. Second, for complex natural image datasets, we incorporate a feature extractor to transform pixel replay into feature replay, making the retained information more representative. Finally, we use importance sampling and the Bayesian criterion for classification to obtain reliable classification results. The experimental results on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets show that the proposed method can improve the classification accuracy of images and effectively reduce the impact of catastrophic forgetting by using batch learning for class-incremental learning. Furthermore, for the CORe50 and OpenLORIS-Object datasets, the proposed method can well adapt to the changes of the real-time environment by using online learning for continuous target recognition, showing its robustness.
Deep sea treasures - insights from museum archives shed light on coral microbial diversity within deepest ocean ecosystems

Abstract
Deep sea benthic habitats are low productivity ecosystems that host an abundance of organisms within the Cnidaria phyla. The technical limitations and the high cost of deep sea surveys have made exploring deep sea environments and the biology of the organisms that inhabit them challenging. In spite of the widespread recognition of Cnidaria's environmental importance in these ecosystems, the microbial assemblage and its role in coral functioning have only been studied for a few deep water corals. Here we explored the prokaryotic diversity of deep sea corals by recovering nucleic acids from museum archive specimens. Firstly, we amplified and sequenced the V1-V3 regions of the 16S rRNA gene of specimens held in museum archival storage and utilised these to shed light on the microbial diversity associated with seven families of corals collected from depth in the Coral Sea (depth range 1,309 to 2,959 metres) and Southern Ocean (depth range 1,401 to 2,071 metres) benthic habitats. Most surprisingly, Cyanobacteria sequences were consistently associated with six out of seven coral families from both sampling locations, suggesting that these bacteria are potentially ubiquitous members of the microbiome within these cold and deep sea water organisms. Additionally, we show that Cnidaria might benefit from symbiotic associations with a range of chemosynthetic bacteria including nitrite, carbon monoxide and sulfur oxidizers. Consistent with previous studies, we show that sequences associated to the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes and Acidobacteriota dominated the microbial community of corals in the deep sea. We also explored genomes of the genus Mycoplasma, which we identified as associated with specimens of three deep sea coral families, finding evidence that these bacteria may aid the host immune system. Importantly our results show that museum specimens retain components of host microbiome that can provide new insights into the diversity of deep sea coral microbiomes (and potentially other organisms), as well as the diversity of microbes writ large in deep sea ecosystems.
