Model of volunteering in the IDEF0 methodology by L. V. Pleskach

“…The relevance of the research is determined by the development of civil society in Russia, expressed, in particular, in the active participation of citizens in the volunteer movement to solve socially significant problems together with the state, business and non-profit organizations, whose participation is not limited only to regulatory regulation or financial support for volunteeringThe need to solve this issue determined the research problem, which is the insufficient systematization of factors influencing volunteer activity to determine ways of interaction of various subsystems of society with this process, as well as identifying controlling factors.The goal of the research is to build a model that reflects the mechanisms of interaction between the subsystems of society and volunteer activities related to its resource provision, goal setting, results and, in particular, social regulators.The main research method is the analysis of existing scientific views on volunteering in the context of the IDEF0 methodology.The result of the research is a model of volunteer activity developed using a systematic approach, which, unlike existing ones, allows us to streamline, group and classify the processes of goal setting, evaluation of results, resource provision of volunteer activity, and also to identify factors of social regulation.The key conclusions: the model constructed by the author illustrates the differences between control and resource factors, defines the necessary set of conditions for the implementation of volunteer activities, allows us to assess the features of participation in volunteer activities of both the state, business and non-profit sector, and society as a whole.…”

A multi-band spectrum sensing method based on sticky hidden Markov model by Zhongjie JIA, Ming JIN, Xiaoqun SONG

“…Existing multi-band spectrum sensing methods often use the sparsity of broadband spectrum.However, high spectrum occupancy rate of primary users degrades their performance severely.To address this issue, a novel multi-band spectrum sensing method was proposed by exploiting the state correlation among adjacent frequency bands.Firstly, a sticky hidden Markov model (SHMM) was established by regarding the multi-band states and measured energies as hidden and observed variables.In the SHMM, a sticky factor was introduced to represent the state correlation among adjacent frequency bands.Secondly, iterative expressions for the parameters of SHMM were derived.Finally, multi-band spectrum sensing was implemented by obtaining the posterior mean of observations from every frequency bands.Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods, and when the false alarm probability is 0.1, the average frequency band occupancy rate is 50%, and the average signal-to-noise ratio is -12 dB, the detection probability can reach close to 0.99, which is about 30% higher than the detection probability of other methods.In addition, the proposed method had a faster convergence rate than existing methods and therefore has lower computational complexity.…”
