Analysis of Spatial Mismatch of Job and Residence in 22 Regions of Tehran Municipality by Tajeddin Karami, Somayeh Teymouri

“…This means that the backgrounds, structures and processes of inequality are different from one society to another and the lack of proportionality between the benefits of work and access to housing represents the spaces of poverty. The aim of the current research is to reveal the Spatial Mismatch between the two mentioned indicators in the metropolitan areas of Tehran. …”

Machine learning assisted classification RASAR modeling for the nephrotoxicity potential of a curated set of orally active drugs by Arkaprava Banerjee, Kunal Roy

“…We initially developed ML models using nine different algorithms separately on topological descriptors (referred to as simply “descriptors” in the subsequent sections of the manuscript) and MACCS fingerprints (referred to as “fingerprints” in the subsequent sections of the manuscript), thus generating 18 different ML QSAR models. Using the chemical spaces defined by the modeling descriptors and fingerprints, the similarity and error-based RASAR descriptors were computed, and the most discriminating RASAR descriptors were used to develop another set of 18 different ML c-RASAR models. …”

Éducation au patrimoine en langue minorée by Marie-Anne Châteaureynaud

“…Over time, the notion of heritage education emerged and in 2005, in Faro, UNESCO produced a framework convention that evoked a right to heritage and underlined the importance of local cultures in a globalised world.Whether tangible or intangible, the heritage linked to minority languages is thus also the subject of a cultural right from which pupils must be able to benefit.The transmission of the heritage of minority languages and cultures is a central issue because (UNESCO, 2003) "the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge and skills - as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated with them - that communities, groups and, where appropriate, individuals" are part of cultural heritage. …”

Changing approaches to interactive marketing communications due to the development of 5G technology by L. G. Akhmaeva

“…The main facts about 5G technology have been given, the impact of its introduction on consumer behavior, the penetration of augmented and virtual reality technologies into everyday life and the change in the format of marketing communications in the following areas have been considered: retail and delivery of goods, virtual spaces for work and business, mobile cloud gaming and streaming, art, street traffic and parking, public transport, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, weather conditions and energy supply.The key directions of development of interactive marketing communications with the arrival of 5G have been considered: delivery of messages to any place and at any time, an increase in the number of connected devices, instant feedback, new formats and media.Conclusions have been drawn regarding the changes in interactive marketing communications: due to the ultra-high speeds of 5G, the loading time of the commercial will be significantly reduced, which will significantly improve the consumer experience at the level of using devices and applications. …”

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images based on additive homomorphic encryption and multi-MSB embedding by Wenqian XIAO, Gaobo YANG, Dewang WANG, Ming XIA

“…Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images (RDHEI) combines image encryption and reversible data hiding to improve the security and information transmission efficiency for the network transmission of images.In RDHEI, the conventional bit-by-bit encryption destroys the spatial correlation in an original image and has side effects on the preservation of embedding spaces.An approach for RHDEI was proposed, which utilized additive homomorphic encryption and a multi-MSB (Most Significant Bit) embedding strategy to create room within the encryption process.The original image was divided into non-overlapped blocks, and each block was subjected to the same key for additive homomorphic encryption.This helped transfer the pixel correlation within an original block to the encrypted image block as much as possible.To enhance security, the encrypted image was further subjected to an Arnold transformation on a block-by-block basis.The decision of whether data will be embedded in a block and the embedding capacity were determined by the pixel differences within the block and the predicted values.When a block was selected for embedding, a small number of LSBs (Least Significant Bits) were used to store the prediction differences, ensuring reversibility.The redundant multi-MSBs were embedded with secret information by bit replacement.For the possible errors caused by multi-MSBs prediction, an embedding position selection strategy was designed by vacating MSBs in terms of the values of prediction errors, then more MSBs were reserved for those pixels with less prediction errors.During decryption, the secret information can be accurately extracted from the multiple MSBs of the pixels in a block, and the image content can be losslessly recovered using the number of embedded multi-MSBs, predicted values, and prediction differences.Experimental results on the BOWS-2 image dataset demonstrate that the average embedding capacity is improved to 2.58 bit/pixel, surpassing existing methods.…”

Farmers’ markets contribution to the resilience of the food systems by Agathe Lucas, Roberta Moruzzo, Giulia Granai

“…Alternative food movements, such as Farmers’ Markets (FM), claim to contribute to this transition by offering a different approach to food consumption (Bilali in Food energy secur 8: e00154, 2019). FM are spaces where producers and consumers interact directly, trading locally grown and fresh products (Chiffoleau in Agric 6:1–18, 2016; Marsden in Sociologia Ruralis 40:424–438, 2000). …”

EU SCIENCE DIPLOMACY AND FRAMEWORK PROGRAMS AS INSTRUMENTS OF STI COOPERATION by К. А. Ibragimova

“…At the same time, the EU shares its vision of problems, values and priorities with partners and uses the tools of "soft power" (including its smart and normative force) and scientific diplomacy in the field of STI.The soft power of the EU in the field of STI lies in the attractiveness of the EU as a research area in which it is possible to conduct modern high-quality international research with the involvement of scientific teams from different countries in both physical and virtual spaces. The EU training programs and expertise contribute to the development of a flexible approach in international cooperation, supported by scientific facts. …”
