Recent population migrations have led to numerous accidents and deaths. Little research has been done to help migrants in their journey. For this reason, a literature review of the latest research conducted in previous years is required to identify new research trends in human-swarm interaction. This article presents a review of techniques that can be used in a robots swarm to find, locate, protect and help migrants in hazardous environment such as militarized zone. The paper presents a swarm interaction taxonomy including a detailed study on the control of swarm with and without interaction. As the interaction mainly occurs in cluttered or crowded environment (with obstacles) the paper discussed the algorithms related to navigation that can be included with an interaction strategy. It focused on comparing algorithms and their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract The present study aims to demonstrate the relevance of topic modeling as a new research tool for analyzing research trends in the T&I field. Until now, most efforts to this end have relied on manual classification based on pre-established typologies. This method is time- and labor-consuming, prone to subjective biases, and limited in describing a vast amount of research output. As a key component of text mining, topic modeling offers an efficient way of summarizing topic structure and trends over time in a collection of documents while being able to describe the entire system without having to rely on sampling. As a case study, the present paper applies the technique to analyzing a collection of abstracts from four Korean Language T&I journals for the 2010s decade (from 2010 to 2019). The analysis proves the technique to be highly successful in uncovering hidden topical structure and trends in the abstract corpus. The results are discussed along with implications of the technique for the T&I field.

Software Defined Network (SDN) decouples the responsibilities of route management and datatransmission of network devices present in network infrastructure. It integrates the control responsibility at thecentralized software component which is known as controller. This centralized aggregation of responsibilities mayresult the single point of failure in the case malicious attack at the controller side. These attacks may also affect thetraffic flow and network devices. The security issues due to such malicious attacks in SDN are dominating challengesin the implementation and utilization of opportunities provided by this new paradigm. In this paper we haveinvestigated the several research papers related to proposal of new research trends for security and suggestionswhich fulfil the security requirements like confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, authorization,nonrepudiation, consistency, fast responsiveness and adaptation. We have also investigated the new future researchfor creating the attack free environment for implementing the SDN.

Due to the increasing popularity of new research in medicine thisstudy was conducted to determine recent research trends of predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPM). We identified the terms relevant to PPM using own search engine based on neural network processing in PubMed database. We extracted initially about 15000 articles. Then we carried out the statistical analysis for identifying research trends. The article presents the results of solving the problem of evaluating research topics at the level of thematic clusters in a separate subject area. An approach based on the analysis of article titles has been implemented. Identification of terms, connections between them and thematic clustering were carried out using the free software VOSViewer, which allows to extract terms in the form of noun phrases, as well as to cluster them.

The paper presents and analyses in detail the content and significance of the new definition of architecture “as the art and science of designing the environment (space)” for contemporary architecturology and architectural practice. It discusses in greater detail the social and ecological tasks of architecture in contemporary society as well as the responsibility of the architect and new research trends in architecturology. The paper also focuses on the importance of regionality trend in the context of modern globalization and touches upon the questions of architects’ professional training specialization. Santrauka Straipsnyje plačiau pristatomas ir detalizuojamas naujojo architektūros apibrėžimo „Architektūra – tai menas ir mokslas formuoti aplinką (erdvę)“ – turinys ir reikšmė šiuolaikinei architektūrologijai ir architektūros praktikai. Detaliau aptariami socialiniai ir ekologiniai architektūros uždaviniai dabartinėje visuomenėje, architekto atsakomybė, naujos tyrimų kryptys architektūrologijoje. Atskirai aptarta regionalumo krypties svarba dabartinės globalizacijos fone. Paliesti architektų profesinio rengimo specializacijos klausimai.

Abstracttitle SUMMARY /title The aim of this article is to portray one of the possible paths through which the concept of environment originated. In the debate relating to the contagium vivum problem, as it is defined for example in the works of Fracastoro, the concept of sympathia and antipathia has been denied since '500, and the contagion has been interpreted in materialistic terms. Simultaneously, also in '500, Hippocratic style researches de Locis reflourished due to the efforts of many physicians who pointed out the physical aspects which led to the spreading of a disease. With the discovery of the Protozoa and of other minute inhabitants of water, microscopy in '600 underlined the possible animated origin of several diseases, thus refusing causes, as the influence of stars, etc. However medicine was the discipline in which the researches on the environment became a basis for the discovery and prevention of disease. Medical sciences turned towards a practical-empiristic methodology that also led to a new vision of the role of the physician in the community. Here, the importance of G. Lancisi's work De Noxiis Paludum Effluviis is emphasised as a signal of these new research trends. This work is noteworthy first of all because the mosquito is identified as the cause of malaria with the peculiar environmental conformation of the Paludi Pontine, and secondly because Lancisi testifies one of the first battles carried out by a scientist in defence of the environment.
