To the problem of optimization of criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of providing the national security of the State by Y. V. Kobko

“…It has been argued that the evaluation of the effectiveness of Ukrainian national security is the activities of authorized entities carried out in the prescribed manner, which aims to establish the extent to which measures implemented by the state in the relevant direction, as well as related financial, material technical and human costs, meet the goal. It has been performed the classification of the relevant criteria, which is most appropriate to divide into the following groups: 1) financial and economic, which include: the level of shadowing of the economy; the level of GDP per capita; the ratio of public debt to GDP; the average level of wages in the state; 2) socio-cultural, in particular: the demographic situation in the country (depopulation rate); the level of legal consciousness of society and cultural development; national consent and unity; a sense of personal security; the level of support of the population of the state; 3) political: stability and effectiveness of public policy (domestic political stability); resilience to ensure a high level of readiness of society and the state to respond to a wide range of threats; the level of democracy, the formation and effectiveness of the legal framework of the rule of law; 4) indicators of combat readiness of the army: the state of the armed forces, their combat capability and combat readiness; logistical, financial support of troops; adequacy of staffing. …”

Research on multi-user identity recognition based on Wi-Fi sensing by Zhongcheng WEI, Wei CHEN, Yanhu DONG, Bin LIAN, Wei WANG, Jijun ZHAO

“…With the advancement of wireless sensing technology, research on Wi-Fi-based identity recognition has garnered significant attention in fields such as human-computer interaction and home security.While identity recognition based on Wi-Fi signals has achieved initial success, it is currently primarily suitable for scenarios involving individual user behavior.Identity recognition for multiple users in concurrent behavior scenarios still faces a series of challenges, including issues related to mutual interference between users and poor model robustness.Therefore, a Wiblack system for recognizing multiple user identities in a concurrent distribution behavior scenario was proposed.The core idea was to train a multi-branch deep neural network (Wiblack-Net) to extract unique features for each individual user.Firstly, the common features among multiple users were extracted using the backbone network.Then, a binary classifier was assigned to each user to determine the presence of the target user within a given group, thereby achieving identity recognition for multiple users based on concurrent behavior.In addition, experiments comparing Wiblack with several independent binary classification models and a single multiclassification model were conducted to analyze operational efficiency.System performance experimental results demonstrate that when simultaneously identifying the identities of three users, Wibalck achieves an average accuracy of 92.97%, an average precision of 93.71%, an average recall of 93.24%, and an average F1 score of 92.43%.…”
