Psychological readiness for innovation and individual-style self-regulation of police officers by O. M. Voluiko

“…Empirically, the highest number of correlation relationships was found within a group of leaders with an average readiness level, namely, it was recorded: a tendency to increase flexibility with a more active manifestation of initiative; the ability to set criteria for quality assessment is reduced while increasing the frequency of providing the benefits of activities that require innovation; increasing readiness for change leads to an increase in the ability to assess the results. …”

The Impact of Modifiable Risk Factors on the Endothelial Cell Methylome and Cardiovascular Disease Development by Hashum Sum, Alison C. Brewer

“…Thus, it is speculated that changes in DNA methylation within endothelial cells may, in part, be causal in ED, leading to atherosclerosis and CVD generally. This review will evaluate the extensive evidence that environmental risk factors, known to be associated with atherosclerosis, such as diabetes, metabolic disorder, smoking, hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia etc. can affect the methylome of the endothelium and consequently act to alter gene transcription and function. …”

Spatial sorting and selection within urban agglomerations: a tripartite evolutionary game model approach by Yunsheng Zhang, Shuting Wang, Ruomeng Zhou

“…However, existing research on spatial sorting and selection in urban settings-primarily based on quantitative spatial models-often overlooks the dynamic strategic adaptations of firms with varying skill levels. This gap leads to an incomplete understanding of how firms interact and adjust their spatial positioning over time in response to evolving urban economic conditions. …”

Defense mechanism of SDN application layer against DDoS attack based on API call management by Yang WANG, Guangming TANG, Shuo WANG, Jiang CHU

“…Due to thelack of strict access control, identity authentication and abnormal call detection, attackers may develop malicious applications easily and then it leads to theabuse of the northbound interface API (application programming interface) accordingly.There are mainly two patterns of DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks against application layer.1) malicious App bypass the security review of the northbound interface and make a large number of calls to some API in a short time, thus causing the controller to crash and paralyzing the whole network; 2) attackers take a legitimate SDN (software defined network) application as the target and make a large number of short-time calls to the specific API needed by the application, which makes the legitimate App unable to call the API normally.Compared with the first pattern, the second one is more subtle.Therefore, it’s necessary to distinguish whether the App is malicious or not, effectively clean the App running on the attacked controller, and redistribute the controller to the legitimate App.Based on the in-depth analysis of the development trend of the current northbound interface, the possible DDoS attack patterns were simulated and practiced.Then a DDoS defense mechanism for SDN application layer was proposed.This mechanism added an App management layer between SDN application layer and control layer.Through reputation management, initial review, mapping allocation, anomaly detection and identification migration of the App, the malicious App attack on SDN can be predicted and resisted.The proposal focused on pre-examination of malicious App before attacks occur, so as to avoid attacks.If the attack has already happened, the operation of cleaning and separating the legitimate App from the malicious App is triggered.Theoretical and experimental results show that the proposed mechanism can effectively avoid DDoS attacks in SDN application layer, and the algorithm runs efficiently.…”
