Arrhythmia is one of the most difficult problems in cardiology and especially in pediatric cardiology. In this study, the authors present a mobile health (m-health) system that can be used for continuous monitoring of children (ages 0-16 years) with suspected cardiac arrhythmias. The system is able to carry-out real-time acquisition and transmission of ECG signals, and facilitate an alarm scheme able to identify possible arrhythmias so as to notify the on-call doctor and the relatives of the child that an event or something that denotes malfunction is happening. In general the problem has been divided into two cases. The first case is called “in-house case”, where the subject is located in his/her house. While the second case is called “moving-patient case”, where the subject might be located anywhere else. The authors’ goal is the continuous 24 hours, monitoring of the child. During the “in house case”, a sensor network installed in the child’s house is used in order to continuously record ECG signals from the patient as well as environmental parameters. The second case is more general. For this case, the child is monitored using the same ECG recording device but the signals are transmitted, through a mobile device, directly to the central monitoring system. The transmission is performed through the use of 2.5G, or 3G, mobile communication networks. The system design, development and technical tests (using an ECG simulator and 20 volunteers) are reported in this paper. The future steps will be the further evaluation of the system on children with suspected cardiac arrhythmias.

The article presents the results of a validating study carried out within the framework of the research under the grant "Building predictive models of the dynamics of the development of mobilization-type Internet communities". The aim of the study is to test the empirical model of integration of the Internet community in terms of the validity of the content and the validity of the criteria. The subject of the study is the validity of the criteria and integration factors identified in this model. The research methods are a survey of internal experts and a comparative analysis of assessments of the criteria and factors of integration of the specified model by external and internal experts. The results obtained allow us to conclude that it is correct to identify the criteria and factors for integrating the Internet community at the first stages of the research project. Differences in the assessment by two types of experts of the significance of some criteria and factors of integration of Internet communities receive the fixation of two observation positions - external and internal - as two types of explanation, namely, an understanding and descriptive explanation, respectively. The conducted research not only allows to introduce new criteria and factors of integration into the empirical model of integration of the Internet community, but also to draw an important theoretical conclusion. Online communities in their development manifest both the properties of real social groups and the properties of networks. These two methodological attitudes can be equally successfully applied in the analysis of online communities of the mobilization type. In the first case, analyzing the behavior of the online community as a social group, the dynamics of its mobilization function is mostly recorded. In the second case, analyzing the behavior of a community as a network, the dynamics of its volume and the dynamics of information potential are described to a greater extent.

Digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in migration and mobility have incrementally expanded over recent years. Iterative approaches to AI deployment experienced a surge during 2020 and into 2021, largely due to COVID-19 forcing greater reliance on advanced digital technology to monitor, inform and respond to the pandemic. This paper critically examines the implications of intensifying digitalization and AI for migration and mobility systems for a post-COVID transnational context. First, it situates digitalization and AI in migration by analyzing its uptake throughout the Migration Cycle. Second, the article evaluates the current challenges and, opportunities to migrants and migration systems brought about by deepening digitalization due to COVID-19, finding that while these expanding technologies can bolster human rights and support international development, potential gains can and are being eroded because of design, development and implementation aspects. Through a critical review of available literature on the subject, this paper argues that recent changes brought about by COVID-19 highlight that computational advances need to incorporate human rights throughout design and development stages, extending well beyond technical feasibility. This also extends beyond tech company references to inclusivity and transparency and requires analysis of systemic risks to migration and mobility regimes arising from advances in AI and related technologies.

The topic of patriotic consciousness and patriotic education today claims to the status of a nationwide idea, so the research interest in this issue is unusually high. The study of patriotic consciousness should begin with an analysis of the subject which the patriotic feelings of citizens are directed on. This subject is the motherland and its image in the minds of citizens. The article gives an overview of the data, which is used for the semantic deferential method «Image of Motherland» and the procedure of studying of the image of the Motherland based on this method. The sample was 165 respondents. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the use of this methodology is a tool, which lets us to determine social ideas about the image of the Motherland. It has been proved that the image of the Motherland in consciousness reflects the ideas about the country and the state in which the respondents were born and raised, it is not associated with a so-called “Small homeland”, but with a certain commonality of territory, nature and culture. There is reason to believe that the image of the Motherland in the human mind can be viewed as an image “for oneself” and an image “for others”: in the first case, the Motherland is perceived as big and strong, interesting for life and comfortable, simple and cultural; Motherland “for others” is bold and friendly, strong and kind.
