Inversion of the main trends of digitalization in the educational space. by Darya Pavlovna Kozolupenko

“…The article examines three such major trends and their inversions in the educational space of our time: 1. the tendency characteristic of digitalization to eliminate the intermediary in the educational space leads to the opposite effect of multiplying intermediaries and awareness of the teacher's unavoidability as one of the main participants in education, both due to the complexity and inaccessibility for direct study of educational material, and due to the fact that education is not based on transmission (in which the intermediary could theoretically be eliminated), but creation based on the phenomenon of meeting; 2. the transgressive tendency as "going beyond" and even erasing boundaries is transformed in the educational space into a tendency of distancing as a double movement of alienation (delineation) and inclusion (communion), in which the blurring of the boundary between the public and intimate, the space of self-organization in the order of the norm and the space of spontaneity, real and virtual, etc. is accompanied by the establishment of a new type of socialization in conditions of spatial disunity and social deprivation; 3. the tendency to the appearance of a diffuse identity, reinforced by the tendency to glocalization in the socio-political sphere and the transition to a transmedia narrative in the cultural and entertainment sphere, in the digital space of education is transformed into the possibility of self-actualization, self-expression, turning the modern educational space into a mythopoetical "world of all kinds" and anthropological singularity.…”

Survey on Ethereum phishing detection technology by Zhao CAI, Tao JING, Shuang REN

“…With the widespread application of blockchain technology, phishing scams have become a major threat to blockchain platforms.Due to the irreversibility, anonymity, and tamper-proof nature of blockchain transactions, phishing attacks often have a high degree of deception and concealment, causing significant losses to both users and businesses.Ethereum platform, with its smart contract functionality, has attracted many crypto currency investors.However, this widespread popularity has also attracted an influx of criminals, leading to the rise of cybercrime activities.Among them, phishing scams are one of the main forms of fraud on the Ethereum platform.To tackle this issue, researchers have developed Ethereum network phishing identification technology, achieving significant progress in this field.However, there has been relatively little systematic analysis and summary of these research results.The current state of phishing fraud on the Ethereum network was analyzed.Moreover, a comprehensive summary of existing phishing detection datasets and evaluation metrics were provided.On this basis, methods for detecting phishing on Ethereum were reviewed, including those based on transaction information, graph embedding and graph neural networks.Transaction information-based methods are the most common, analyzing information such as input and output addresses and amounts in transaction data to determine whether a transaction is abnormal.Methods based on graph embedding and graph neural networks place more emphasis on analyzing the entire transaction network, constructing a graph structure to analyze the relationships between nodes, and more accurately identifying phishing attacks.In addition, a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various methods was conducted, explaining the applicability and limitations of each method.Finally, the challenges facing Ethereum phishing detection were pointed out, and the future research trends for Ethereum phishing detection were predicted.…”
