Digitalization: new risks for people with disabilities. Problem statement by N. N. Meshcheryakova, E. N. Rogotneva

“…Inattention within the framework of digitalization programs to the fact that disability has an individual trajectory and for the full use of modern information and communication technologies, people with disabilities need assistive technologies, the costs for them, the compatibility of auxiliary software with the design of websites is one of the main reasons for the emergence of digital inequality in this category of the population.To minimize digital barriers, depending on the individual needs of disabled people, it is proposed:1) to expand the functions, competencies and technical capabilities of social workers and / or organize technological support of life activities by volunteers;2) to develop programs of additional information education;3) to calculate the costs of assistive technologies for individual nosologies to provide targeted social assistance;4) to encourage and subsidize the development of assistive technologies within the framework of state financial assistance to high-tech developments;5) to take into account the special needs of people with disabilities in digitalization programs.…”

Mixed targets localization using symmetric nested frequency diverse array radar by Hui Chen, Wen‐Qin Wang, Wei Wang

“…Due to the frequency diverse array (FDA) owing time‐angle‐range‐dependent beampattern, the authors first properly design frequency increments and choose the sensor outputs to construct a fourth‐order cumulant matrix of SNFDA which is only related to DOAs of targets, and the authors estimate the DOAs of all targets by solving the ℓ1‐norm minimization convex optimization problem. Then a mixed range‐dependent overcomplete dictionary with DOAs estimation is formulated in the compressive sensing framework to classify targets types by using periodic characteristics of the estimated range‐dependent beampattern. …”
