On-Demand Security Framework for 5GB Vehicular Networks

2023

Building accurate Machine Learning (ML) at-tack detection models for 5G and Beyond (5GB) vehicular networks requires collaboration between Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) nodes. However, while operating collaboratively, ensuring the ML model’s security and data privacy is challenging. To this end, this article proposes a secure and privacy-preservation on-demand framework for building attack-detection ML models for 5GB vehicular networks. The proposed framework emerged from combining 5GB technologies, namely, Federated Learning (FL), blockchain, and smart contracts to ensure fair and trustedinteractions between FL servers (edge nodes) with FL workers (vehicles). Moreover, it also provides an ef…

The Commented Walk Method as a Way of Highlighting Precise Daily Mobility Difficulties – A Case Study Focusing on Cognitive or Mental Diseases

2016

Abstract The French Act of 11 February 2005 on equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities highlights the need “for people with disabilities or reduced mobility” to have access to the complete mobility chain of the transport system. This law was initially planned to apply from 2015. Many efforts have been made to improve life for those with physical, visual and, to a lesser extent, hearing impairments. But there is a lot of room for improvement in situations regarding psychological, cognitive and mental impairment. This is largely due to a lack of knowledge on the difficulties experienced by the above when they travel. The national quantitative …

Less is future: landscape as the key element for the “milieux” renaissance in the former East Germany

2013

Twenty-two years ago, Germany was reunified as a single state. Waste land, pollution and empty buildings are some of the problems that the people had to face, along with radical and painful political reorganization. The strong collective reaction to these environmental and social disasters was heart-warming. Hundreds of coordinated and collective actions of renovation in open spaces were carried out. People were involved in each level of the design process in order to decide the best way to improve and promote the heritage and identity of their landscape. Halle, Dessau, Leipzig, and Berlin are some examples explained in this paper which demonstrate that these successful massive actions are …

Od konfliktu do komunii. W kontekście luterańsko-katolickich obchodów 500-lecia Reformacji

2017

17 czerwca 2013 r. w Genewie i w Watykanie ogłoszono wspólny dokument teologów rzymskokatolickich i luterańskich pt.: Od konfliktu do komunii. Luterańsko-katolickie wspólne upamiętnienie Reformacji w 2017 r. Jego celem było głębsze, bezpośrednie przygotowanie luteranów i katolików do wspólnego upamiętnienia 500. rocznicy Reformacji. Przesłanie deklaracji stało się inspiracją dla przygotowania niniejszego opracowania. Nie chodzi w nim o szczegółowe omawianie dokumentu, ale przede wszystkim o sformułowanie, w oparciu o jego przesłanie, istotnych paradygmatów określających cel, okoliczności, zadania i perspektywy związane ze wspólnym obchodzeniem przez luteranów i katolików 500-lecia Reformacj…

Three existence theorems for weak contractions of Matkowski type

We prove three generalizations of Matkowski’s fixed point theorems for weakly contractions.

Three three-letter words in three recent novels in three different languages: God, sex and joy

2017

In this article, the authors propose to analyse the ways in which religion and sexuality are related to one another in three recent novels: (1) Fransi Phillips�s Die donker god (2007), (2) Inga �olude�s Santa Biblia (2013) and (3) Michel Houellebecq�s Soumission [English translation: Submission] (2015). In each case, the novels are briefly placed within their respective literary cultures (Afrikaans, Latvian and French) in order to offer a contextually sensitive analysis. After each of the novels has been discussed related to the three related topoi of God, sex and joy, some comparative remarks are offered in conclusion.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: In this contrib…

Border and Regional Studies Network

Network, established in 2021, under the CEEPUS program. The University of Opole is a leader of the network of 15/universities from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Montenegro. We propose unique Border and Regional Studies Network comprised of 15/universities located in 10/countries of Central Europe and Balkans. The network’s thematic framework will address one of the crucial problems and challenges of the XXI century like migrations, multi-ethnic societies, revitalization of regional identities, border crossing and border revitalization (the last one strongly influenced by the pandemic). The main objective of the network is sharing…

ReALity

Understanding how biological systems maintain long-term stability is the central theme of this initiative. We seek to understand how complex cellular systems react and adapt to existential threats of intrinsic and environmental origins and maintain homeostasis to promote longevity." Why do some people stand stably in their lives, while others are struggling with every day's burden and sometimes even develop mental disease? Why do some individuals maintain mental flexibility into old age, while others are locked in rigid behaviors early in their lives or rapidly develop dementia as they get older? Why is the lifetime incidence of cancer high in some species, while the disease is virtually un…
