Modifying a method for direct data collection by a telecommunication aerial platform from nodes of wireless sensor networks
Authors: Hrymud Andrii , Romaniuk Valery 
Published: September 2022

Wireless sensor networks are becoming increasingly important in both the civilian and military fields. The object of this study is the process of collecting data by a telecommunication aerial platform from network nodes under conditions of their remoteness from the telecommunication infrastructure. Most available papers consider a solution to partial problems related to the process of data acquisition by a telecommunication aerial platform: clustering of the network, search for the shortest flight route, minimization of energy costs of nodes, etc. Therefore, an improved method of direct data collection by a telecommunication air platform is proposed, which consistently and comprehensively solves these problems. Unlike existing methods, it takes into consideration several objective functions (optimization of data collection time by a telecommunication air platform and a network functioning time), parameters of the state of nodes and clusters, as well as makes it possible to obtain solutions in real time. A special feature of the proposed method is the search for the optimal solution according to the hierarchy: network – cluster – node. At the network level, the following is optimized: the number of clusters of a certain dimensionality and the trajectory of the cluster flyby. At the cluster level, the points (intervals) of data collection during the freezing (in motion) of the telecommunication air platform and the trajectory of its flight within a cluster are determined. At the node level, its energy consumption is minimized by reducing the distance to the telecommunication aerial platform. The trajectory of the platform within a cluster is calculated according to the developed rule base. The rules implement the method of situational management. The conditions of application are the parameters of the state of the nodes, the solutions are the parameters of the trajectory of a telecommunication aerial platform, and the intervals of data acquisition. The rules take into consideration the priority of the objective functions, the state of the parameters of the cluster nodes, and the previously made basic decision on the trajectory of the flyby. The simulation results show that the application of the method reduces the time of data collection up to 15 % or increases the network functioning time to 17 %.

Published: September 2022

Distributed Data Mining (DDM) is vital in various applications for processing large volumes of data. The datasets are saved in the local databases and operated by local communities, but it provides the solution locally and globally. However, the datasets are stored in a distributed manner which affects the scalability and reliability issues. In addition, locally stored data is influenced by security and privacy challenges. In addition, the third party may access the DDM, which causes authorization issues. Therefore, the DDM process fuses sensor data from different sources to improve knowledge discovery. During this process, the DDM faces several issues such as security concerns, privacy restrictions, technical barriers, and trust issues. To address these issues, distributed data mining (DDM) should be improved to handle homogeneous and heterogeneous data. This work uses the privacy protection-based distributed clustering (PPDC) algorithm to handle the privacy and security challenges while analyzing the distributed data. The clustering algorithm generates the semi-trusted third parties to form the cluster, which protects the data from unauthorized users. The semi-trusted party protect the locally analyzed solution by creating the random vector-based trusted process. Further, the process uses the optimized deep learning approach and clustering to improve the heterogeneous data analysis. Then the effectiveness of the introduced PPDC method is compared with existing methods, and the PPDC algorithm ensures the 0.202 error rate, 0.95 % of accuracy and manages the data security.
Relics and Icons: Their Role in Healing, Conversions, and Miracles
Authors: Pinckney Darrell 
Published: September 2022

This paper explores recent claims and experiences of healings, miracles, and religious conversions as expressed by members, parishioners, laity and clergy from the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches located in northeastern Pennsylvania. I choose the term more recent to describe the experiences of consultants which have occurred within the past ten years or less as opposed to those experiences described from previous years or centuries ago. The claims and experiences described by these consultants have had profound effects on them, leading to life changing beliefs. The claims are very real to the aforementioned interlocutors and many border on the realm of the supernatural. In the past, such beliefs in divine intervention have been dismissed by social scientist and cultural anthropologist camps as well as others who strongly adhere to objective, traditional science. In this paper, I will seek to demonstrate how prayer, relics and icons have had life changing effects on people who came into contact with them or had sought out help through prayer. The relics, icons, and prayer, therefore, are all authentic and instrumental to the faithful.
ПРАВОВІ АСПЕКТИ ВИМОГИ КОМПЕНСАЦІЙ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОЇ ШКОДИ ВНАСЛІДОК ВІЙНИ РФ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Микулець Віталій 
Published: September 2022

Мета: встановити готовність українського екологічного законодавства до правого забезпечення компенсацій екологічної шкоди внаслідок війни рф в Україні. Досягнення вказаної мети зумовило необхідність: 1) визначення змісту понять «екологічна шкода» і «екологічна шкода під час війни», 2) контент-аналізу українського екологічного законодавства на предмет можливості забезпечення відповідних компенсацій. Методи дослідження: використано загальнотеоретичні і аналітичні методи у поєднанні з комплексним підходом. Результати: на теоретичному рівні дослідження показано недоліки української правової позиції щодо забезпечення компенсацій екологічної шкоди внаслідок агресії росії. Запропоновано на рівні профільного Закону дати визначення поняттям «екологічна шкода» і «екологічна шкода під час війни». Обстоюється обґрунтованість відображення на рівні закону позиції, при визначенні екологічної шкоди внаслідок воєнних дій належить визначити відповідні пошкодження у вихідному стані шляхом застосування вимірних даних. Обговорення: російське вторгнення в Україну за короткий проміжок часу створило значний обсяг екологічних ризиків і реальних проблем. Наявні на сьогодні факти і позиція української громадськості актуалізують питання забезпечення компенсацій екологічної шкоди внаслідок війни рф в Україні. Втім у цьому питанні у перспективі можуть виникнути певні ускладнення, адже дефініція «екологічної шкоди» досі має дискусійний характер не лише у середовищі українських вчених, але й відсутня на рівні національного законодавства. Зважаючи на складну і неефективну практику застосування норм міжнародного гуманітарного права (зокрема стосовно охорони довкілля), логічно переглянути означену ситуацію. Зокрема привести понятійний ряд національного екологічного законодавства у відповідність зі змістом міжнародних актів.

Authors: R Geetha , Rajamani V. , Parthasarathy V. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
As we move in the direction of the technology-driven world, cloud computing has become an inevitable paradigm in various communities. Typically, cloud users and providers' contradicting requirements like maximized performance with minimal cost and maximized revenue with increased resource utilization are of great importance. Likewise, there has been an extensive array of improvements achieved in the last few decades targeting minimal response time and cloud resources latency. However, there is still a need for cloud platforms' robustness addressing the peculiar parameter Quality of Service (QoS) which encompass a group of parameters resource availability, throughput, and security. This paper investigates the resource management between the cloud service providers and consumers, considering security as a primary concern. This paper proposes novel method of enhanced Critically Self Correlated Particle Swarm Optimization (CSC-PSO) algorithm for efficient performance of resource allocation in cloud services. The proposed algorithms' performance and Quality of Service properties are evaluated with extensive experiments using real-time datasets in a large-scale network prototyped system and is compared with the existing algorithms.

Published: September 2022

Abstract

Background: Malawi is one of the countries with the highest burden of cervical cancer in the world with less than ten percent of women screened for cervical cancer. The study aimed to investigate the state of cervical cancer screening among incarcerated women at Maula prison. Findings of this study provide knowledge of the challenges that prisoners face when accessing screening services so that relevant policies and strategies may be developed to address the challenges.Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional qualitative study design. A total of 31 prisoners aged between 18 to 49 participated in the study. Among these, 15 women participated in in-depth interviews, while 16 women participated in two focused group discussions consisting of 8 women per group. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data was analysed using a thematic content analysis approach. Results: All participants were knowledgeable of cervical cancer. Screening services were periodically provided in the prison. Early diagnosis and treatment were the key benefits for undergoing screening. Poor environment consisting of poor living conditions, sanitation and hygiene, Preference of female health practitioners during screening and poor treatment by prison officers & health care givers when accessing care were reported as challenges that affected screening uptake in the prison. Conclusion: Incarcerated women experience gender-specific health-related challenges, including menstruation, pregnancy and development of certain forms of cancer that affect their sexual reproductive health. The prison culture hinders prisoners from receiving quality care while in incarceration. Better living conditions, environment and policies must be put in place to support screening uptake among this population.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Mineral deficiencies are common in children living in low-resource areas. Eggs are a rich source of essential nutrients and have been shown to improve growth in young children, although little is known about their impact on mineral status.
Methods
Children aged 6–9 months (n = 660) were randomized to receive either one egg/day for 6-months or no intervention. Anthropometric data, dietary recalls, and venous blood were collected at baseline and 6-months follow-up. Quantification of plasma minerals (n = 387) was done using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy. Difference-in-difference mean plasma mineral concentrations was determined from baseline and follow-up values and assessed between groups by intention-to-treat using ANCOVA regression models.
Results
Prevalence of zinc deficiency was 57.4% at baseline and 60.5% at follow-up. Mean difference (MD) of plasma magnesium, selenium, copper, and zinc levels were not different between groups. Plasma iron concentrations were significantly lower in the intervention compared to the control group (MD = -9.29; 95% CI: -15.95, -2.64).
Conclusions
Zinc deficiency was widely prevalent in this population. Mineral deficiencies were not addressed with the egg intervention. Further interventions are needed to improve the mineral status of young children.

Published: September 2022

Abstract

The determination of antioxidant capacity, total phenolic and ascorbic acid contents with high accuracy and efficiency, low cost, and fast methods has great analytical importance. The antioxidant capacity, total phenolic and ascorbic acid contents of apricot, arugula, banana, cranberry, spinach, and strawberry were investigated with an electrochemical approach and their compatibility with conventional methods. Antioxidant activity was determined by ABTS and DPPH assays, total phenolic content was determined by the Folin Ciocalteu method, which are spectrophotometric techniques, and ascorbic acid was quantified by HPLC technique. In order to perform more sensitive and simultaneous measurements in electrochemical measurements, the surface of the glassy carbon electrode was modified by electropolymerization of p-toluene sulfonic acid (TSA/GCE). The TSA/GCE modified sensor was used for the first time for the determination of antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content. The surface of the modified sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy. The TSA/GCE sensor was linearly correlated with the DPV technique for Trolox and gallic acid in 0.1 M NaNO3 and ascorbic acid in phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4 supporting electrolyte solution. Electrochemical methods have offered a promising alternative for the determination of antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content due to their simplicity, rapid response, low cost, sensitivity, and reproducibility.

Abstract

Despite the rapid increase in suicide rates among children, limited data exists regarding the prevalence and correlates of suicidality specifically in preadolescent children. The current study examines the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), depression, and suicidality among a child population receiving inpatient psychiatric treatment. Scores on the Center for Youth Wellness Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire for Children (ACE-Q) and Childhood Depression Inventory, Second Edition (CDI-2), and patients with suicidal ideation (SI) or suicide attempts (SA) contributing to their inpatient admission were analyzed to explore potential associations in a sample of 153 children. Results indicated both admission SI and admission SA were linked to suicidality endorsed on the CDI-2 (item 8). Depressive symptoms measured by the CDI-2 were positively linked to specific ACEs. Children with SI and SA at the time of admission showed statistically higher scores on the CDI-2. Having experienced four or more ACEs was marginally associated with admission SA; however, there was no association between admission SI and having experienced four or more ACEs. Specific ACEs were positively correlated with admission SI and admission SA. There was no link found between total ACEs score and admission SI, yet there was a marginal association between admission SA and total ACEs score. Lastly, item 8 on the CDI-2 predicted SI and SA on admission while ACEs total did not predict either. Specific ACES were identified as predictive of both SI and SA on admission.
