With the advancement of technologies, there is a need to enhance methods of managing vast amounts of information. Modern requirements for efficiency and security pose a challenge to business sectors, and it is precisely here that the automation of processes in cloud services becomes key to achieving a high level of functionality and protection. In this article, we will explore the importance of process automation in cloud services, how these technologies contribute to optimizing data management, and ensure security in processing a large volume of information

Linked System of Data Organization and Management

This article presents a new method of cryptographic data encryption. The principle of operation consists of processing input data—changing the structure in a keyless format. There are a sufficient number of similar algorithms, which have the names symmetric and asymmetric. They work with keys for encryption or decryption. The new method will make it possible to process data according to the appropriate algorithm without changing the size of the input data, only by changing the structure, and also without using a key for decryption. For decryption, you need to apply the proposed algorithm in the reverse order. Currently, communication systems are gaining popularity, because society wants to maintain contact with others remotely, as well as with the security of personal data. The data loss of some systems has been noticed repeatedly, so in addition to displaying the new algorithm, the principle of data organization and management, which is called a “Linked System”, will be displayed. A significant number of systems are closed. They use other methods to keep data confidential. In addition to saving data, data may also be transferred. Transmission is carried out through communication channels, namely certain protocols. Some systems use special communication protocols to connect clients to the server. Each protocol can have a different data structure. The principle of application of the algorithm does not depend on the very structure of the system on which the corresponding protocol works. The algorithm is applied to all data that can be transmitted over the network mesh to which the clients are connected. Thanks to the individual approach, it is possible to achieve data reliability, as well as avoid the use of device resources thanks to an optimized algorithm and some software development tools

Investigation of the physical causes of improved machinability of steel alloyed with calcium

Investigations have been carried out to determine the possibility of improving machinability of steel by alloying with calcium or other ingredients and also to explain the physi¬cal causes of improved machinability. Results of the experiments show that machina¬bility of steel can be raised several times without adversely affecting its physiomechanical properties. Causes of the improvement of machinability higher degree of hardening of the sulphides due to micro alloying with calcium. Hardened sulphides are ca¬pable of effectively resisting the movement of dislocations in the chip-tool plastic contact zones and as a result the percentage of the total work of plastic deformation spent in changing the internal energy of metal is much higher in the case of alloyed steel than that of the normal steel. And consequently the percentage of total work spent in raising the cutting temperature is much lower in the case of the alloyed steel. Relatively lower value of cutting temperature ultimately facilitates higher tool life, i.e. higher machinability of calcium alloyed steel

UCRAID (Ukrainian Citizen and refugee electronic support in Respiratory diseases, Allergy, Immunology and Dermatology) action plan

Eight million Ukrainians have taken refuge in the European Union. Many have asthma and/or allergic rhinitis and/or urticaria, and around 100,000 may have a severe disease. Cultural and language barriers are a major obstacle to appropriate management. Two widely available mHealth apps, MASK-air® (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK) for the management of rhinitis and asthma and CRUSE® (Chronic Urticaria Self Evaluation) for patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria, were updated to include Ukrainian versions that make the documented information available to treating physicians in their own language. The Ukrainian patients fill in the questionnaires and daily symptom-medication scores for asthma, rhinitis (MASK-air) or urticaria (CRUSE) in Ukrainian. Then, following the GDPR, patients grant their physician access to the app by scanning a QR code displayed on the physician's computer enabling the physician to read the app contents in his/her own language. This service is available freely. It takes less than a minute to show patient data to the physician in the physician's web browser. UCRAID—developed by ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) and UCARE (Urticaria Centers of Reference and Excellence)—is under the auspices of the Ukraine Ministry of Health as well as European (European Academy of Allergy and Clinical immunology, EAACI, European Respiratory Society, ERS, European Society of Dermatologic Research, ESDR) and national societies

Concepts for the development of person-centred, digitally-enabled, Artificial Intelligence-assisted ARIA care pathways (ARIA 2024)

The traditional healthcare model is focused on diseases (medicine and natural science) and does not acknowledge patients' resources and abilities to be experts in their own life based on their lived experiences. Improving healthcare safety, quality and coordination, as well as quality of life, are important aims in the care of patients with chronic conditions. Person-centred care needs to ensure that people's values and preferences guide clinical decisions. This paper reviews current knowledge to develop (i) digital care pathways for rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity and (ii) digitally-enabled person-centred care (1). It combines all relevant research evidence, including the so-called real-world evidence, with the ultimate goal to develop digitally-enabled, patient-centred care. The paper includes (i) Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA), a two-decade journey, (ii) Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), the evidence-based model of guidelines in airway diseases, (iii) mHealth impact on airway diseases, (iv) from guidelines to digital care pathways, (v) embedding Planetary Health, (vi) novel classification of rhinitis and asthma, (vi) embedding real-life data with population-based studies, (vii) the ARIA-EAACI strategy for the management of airway diseases using digital biomarkers, (viii) Artificial Intelligence, (ix) the development of digitally-enabled ARIA Person-Centred Care and (x) the political agenda. The ultimate goal is to propose ARIA 2024 guidelines centred around the patient in order to make them more applicable and sustainable

Features of mycobiota of plasterboard constructions in premises with different operating conditions

There is a significant deterioration of mycological condition of premises with modern interiors synthetic materials, including plasterboard which have significant demand. The aim was to determine the species, which are specific to plasterboard and damage it under operating conditions. Microscopic fungi were isolated from samples of plasterboard and air in homes that had signs of excessive moisture and office premises with no signs of moisture. Methods of cumulative culture and serial dilutions on agar nutrient media were used to isolate fungi in pure culture. Frequency of occurrence of fungal species for mycobiota of individual premises was calculated. Thus, mycobiota of plasterboard constructions was investigated in different premises; it was represented by 25 species of microscopic fungi belonging to 12 genera of Ascomycota division. It was established that the number of species of microscopic fungi, that are contaminants of plasterboard in conditions of excessive moisture areas, far exceeds the average rate for premises with no signs of moisture. It was shown that in climates of Kyiv main contaminants of plasterboard constructions are species Stachybotrys chartarum, Aspergillus niger, A. sydowii, A. versicolor, A. ustus and Sarocladium strictum, which are hazardous to health and life of humans and warm-blooded animals
