Internet of Things (IoT) have become a hot topic since the official introduction of IPv6. Research on Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN) move towards IoT as the communication platform and support provided by the TCP/UDP/IP stack provides a wide variety of services. The communication protocols need to be designed in such a way that even simple microcontrollers with small amount of memory and processing speed can be interconnected in a network. For this different protocols have been proposed. The most extended ones, MQTT and CoAP, represent two different paradigms. In this paper, we present a CoAP extension to support soft real-time communications among sensors, actuators and users. The extension facilitates the instrumentation of applications oriented to improve the quality of life of vulnerable communities contributing to the social good.

The article analyzes the interconnection of social aspects of the Internet and security issues in Russia. It shows that contemporary realities acquire global network character that has ambivalent impact on the development of civilizational and social interactions. On the one hand, social networks offer new opportunities for interaction between people living in different countries, on the other hand - they can be used for exclusion at the global level which objectively produces new risks and vulnerabilities. Special consideration is given to fabrication of global risk in social networks, which may provoke military-political conflicts and even wars. In the context of growing pragmatism and globalization of activities of agents of Western civilization the networks take on the quality of the new and highly effective weapon intended to destroy and destroy high-priority policy objectives. The authors analyze the nature of contemporary politics and the war from the perspective of social networks as policy and war tools. Overcoming new security risks and vulnerabilities authors see in the ways of changing the vector of development of scientific knowledge from a pragmatic to a humanist mode.

Development in the field of technology is growing with a fast pace, mainly the IoT (internet of things). It is an interface between machine-to-machine, machine-to-human, machine-to-infrastructure as well as machine-to-environment. Stress, especially TTH (tension type headache), is a serious problem in today's world. Now every person in this world is facing headache and stress-related problems in daily life. To measure the stress level, the authors have introduced the concept of EEG, EMG, and GSR biofeedback. In case of TTH, human is in a state in which one experiences pain like a physical weight or a tight band around one's head. TTH is different from migraine as it can be affected due to everyday activities. The most common type of primitive headache is tension type headache (TTH). The focus of the research work was to compare the impression of EMG-, GSR-, and EEG-integrated biofeedback on stress due to headache and quality of life of the subjects under consideration.

With the fast development and expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), billions of smart devices are being continuously connected, and smart homes, as a typical IoT application, are providing people with various convenient applications, but face security and privacy issues. The idea of Blockchain (BC) theory has brought about a potential solution to the IoT security problem. The emergence of blockchain technology has brought about a change of decentralized management, providing an effective solution for the protection of network security and privacy. On the other hand, the smart devices in IoT are always lightweight and have less energy and memory. This makes the application of blockchain difficult. Against this background, this paper proposes a blockchain model based on hypergraphs. The aims of this model are to reduce the storage consumption and to solve the additional security issues. In the model, we use the hyperedge as the organization of storage nodes and convert the entire networked data storage into part network storage. We discuss the design of the model and security strategy in detail, introducing some use cases in a smart home network and evaluating the storage performance of the model through simulation experiments and an evaluation of the network.

Diversos estudios han explorado la relación existente entre el crecimiento empresarial y la calidad ambiental en municipios, tratando de demostrar que un aumento del crecimiento empresarial influye en la degradación del medio ambiente. Por otra parte, también hay que citar que el crecimiento empresarial promueve el crecimiento económico lo cual contribuiría directa o indirectamente al desarrollo de la gestión ambiental con la implementación de políticas y proyectos urbanos para el mejoramiento de los problemas ambientales, abriendo de esta manera la posibilidad a la conformación de ambientes urbanos sostenibles, hipótesis que bien vale la pena investigar desde la realidad reinante en el Municipio de Sucre.Este artículo expone la discusión, referida al manejo y tratamiento industrial que tienen las empresas en lo que respecta a la contaminación que generan en el municipio de Sucre complementado con la percepción que tienen las personas como componentes de unidades familiares y cuya calidad de vida es afectada producto del fenómeno de desarrollo empresarial en lo que se refiere a la contaminación generada como una externalidad para el caso particular del Municipio de Sucre.Palabras clave: Crecimiento empresarial, Gestión Ambiental, calidad de vida. AbstractSeveral studies have explored the relationship between business growth and environmental quality in municipalities, trying to show that an increase in business growth influences environmental degradation. On the other hand, it should also be mentioned that business growth promotes economic growth which would contribute directly or indirectly to the development of environmental management with the implementation of urban policies and projects for the improvement of environmental problems, thus opening up the possibility to the conformation of sustainable urban environments, a hypothesis that is well worth investigating from the reality prevailing in the Municipality of Sucre.This article exposes the discussion, referring to the management and industrial treatment that companies have in regards to the pollution they generate in the municipality of Sucre, complemented with the perception that people have as components of family units and whose quality of life is affected product of the phenomenon of business development in what refers to the pollution generated as an externality for the particular case of the Municipality of Sucre.Key words: Business growth, Environmental Management, quality of life.

Developing ‘Age-Friendly Cities and Communities (AFCC)’ has become a key part of policies aimed at improving the quality of life of older people in urban areas. Despite this development, there is evidence of rising inequalities among urban elders, and little known about the potential and limitations of the age-friendly model to reduce old-age exclusion. This article addresses this research gap by comparing how Brussels, Dublin, and Manchester, as three members of the Global Network of AFCC, have responded to social exclusion in later life. The article combines data from document analysis and stakeholder interviews to examine: first, the age-friendly approach and the goal of reducing social exclusion; and second, barriers to developing age-friendly policies as a means of addressing exclusion. The paper suggests that there are reciprocal benefits in linking age-friendly and social exclusion agendas for producing new ways of combatting unequal experiences of ageing in cities.


The future of Internet of Things (IoT) is already upon us. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the ability to provide everyday devices with a way of identification and another way for communication with each other. The spectrum of IoT application domains is very large including smart homes, smart cities, wearables, e-health, etc. Consequently, tens and even hundreds of billions of devices will be connected. Such devices will have smart capabilities to collect, analyze and even make decisions without any human interaction. Security is a supreme requirement in such circumstances, and in particular authentication is of high interest given the damage that could happen from a malicious unauthenticated device in an IoT system. While enjoying the convenience and efficiency that IoT brings to us, new threats from IoT also have emerged. There are increasing research works to ease these threats, but many problems remain open. To better understand the essential reasons of new threats and the challenges in current research, this survey first proposes the concept of “IoT features”. Then, the security and privacy effects of eight IoT new features were discussed including the threats they cause, existing solutions and challenges yet to be solved.
