PSYCHOACTIVE TRIGGERS AS A STIMULUS BATTERY FOR MEASURING LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS (LLMs): A BRIDGE BETWEEN PSYCHOMETRICS, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, AND LLM ENGINEERING
Get PDFEvaluating large language models (LLMs) in psychologically sensitive and human-centered domains faces two persistent challenges. First, conventional benchmarks capture instrumental capabilities but often fail to represent model behavior in open-ended dialogue where emotional context, conflict, ambiguity, and user safety define quality. Second, LLM outputs can be unstable across re-runs and highly sensitive to prompt phrasing, undermining reproducibility and cross-model comparisons [1].
This article introduces an applied framework of psychoactive triggers: standardized textual stimuli designed to evoke systematic shifts in response style, narrative coherence, explanatory stance, empathy calibration, and risk regulation. Psychoactive triggers are treated as an analogue of psychometric items adapted to LLMs: each trigger carries a controlled psychological load (e.g., threat, shame, guilt, control, intimacy, autonomy), allowing measurement of stable behavioral patterns rather than binary correctness. The framework is illustrated using the PersonaMatrix ecosystem, where trigger batteries are applied in multiple measurement waves.
A four-class metric taxonomy is proposed, with this paper focusing on Class I metrics—reproducibility and stability (RSI/IDS/RCS)—using a single PersonaMatrix test, “What Is My Character Type?” (TestPersona). Written at the intersection of LLM research and clinical psychology, the article provides clinical rationale and ethical constraints for safe deployment of psychologically loaded evaluations

DECARBONIZATION WITH THE HELP OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - ONE OF THE PRIORITIES OF INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION
Get PDFoai:ojs2.sciformat.ca:article/8The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization in solving the problem of global warming, one of the main causes of which is considered to be the increase in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, highlights directions for achieving the goal of decarbonization of civil aviation by 2050. An analysis of aviation experts\u27 proposals for reducing CO₂ emissions through AI was conducted, which can help reduce the environmental impact of aviation, improve aircraft and engine technologies, use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), implement economic measures, and improve air traffic management and aircraft operations. Harnessing the power of AI to develop more efficient aircraft and engines will help bring zero-emission aircraft to market by 2035. An important area of carbon reduction is the ability of airports to provide clean airspace. Airports Council International has set high standards for reducing absolute carbon emissions. ACI and its member airports have already committed globally to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with the support of governments. Ukraine has undertaken international legal obligations to implement a program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, which are mandatory for implementation after the restoration of airport infrastructure destroyed as a result of the Russian invasion, in particular, obtaining Airport Carbon Accreditation. It is argued that research into AI capabilities, technological advancements, infrastructure development and operational improvements, and collaboration between governments and industry stakeholders are crucial to creating the necessary foundation to achieve decarbonization goals
NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISM OF STRESS AND ACTIVATION OF COGNITIVE RESOURCES TO OVERCOME STUDENT STRESS THROUGH RATIONAL-EMOTIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Get PDFThe research investigates the connection between irrational beliefs, cognitive resources, and the neurophysiological mechanisms of stress in students, particularly in relation to overcoming stress through Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). Despite the prevalence of psychoprotective programs, the effectiveness of stress management remains limited, especially in light of evolving stress factors in modern society. Stress coping resources, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies, are integral to resilience, but irrational beliefs hinder effective stress management. The study hypothesizes that irrational beliefs influence brain neurophysiology and cognitive resource dynamics. Using psychodiagnostic assessments and physiological measurements, the study examined students\u27 anxiety, stress markers (such as cortisol, TSH, and vitamin D), and irrational beliefs. While the results indicated no significant changes in the neurophysiological measures or anxiety levels after REBT intervention, there was a moderate positive correlation between pre- and post-measurements of stress variables. Despite these findings, irrational beliefs were not directly correlated with situational anxiety, personal anxiety, TSH, vitamin D, or cortisol levels. The study concludes that while REBT activates cognitive resources and may reduce irrational beliefs, other unexamined factors likely contribute to stress variability. Future research with larger sample sizes and additional variables is recommended to further explore the relationship between stress mechanisms and coping strategies
OPTIMIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES THROUGH THE USE OF FULL-STACK TECHNOLOGIES AND AUTOMATION
Get PDFThe research examines the impact of MERN and MEAN full-stack technologies and automation tools on software development processes. It analyzes case studies from 2019 to 2024 and finds that these technologies lead to significant improvements in productivity and shorter development times. They are 25-35% faster than other development approaches due to their modularity and integrated design approaches.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing the methods and scale of cybercrime, and also poses significant challenges for legal regulation. This article highlights the fundamental aspects of using AI to commit cyberattacks (automated hacking tools, deepfakes, intellectual fraud, etc.) and explores ways in which law enforcement agencies can counter them. It reveals legal aspects related to the extended autonomy of AI systems, which leads to new issues of liability, problems of assessing evidence of deepfakes, and the need for international cooperation in the field of cybersecurity.
The aim of the study is to develop a holistic view of the threats posed by AI tools in the context of cybercrime and to formulate recommendations for improving national and transnational legislation. The article proposes specific mechanisms for ensuring the reliability of digital evidence (from the creation of algorithms for detecting manipulations to methods for analyzing the chain of their storage), highlights the current practice of criminal prosecution in Ukraine and abroad, and also provides proposals for the unification of procedures for forensic analysis of materials obtained or modified with the help of AI. The results of the work show that effective legal counteraction to AI-based cybercrime requires the simultaneous development of technical tools, enhanced protection of human rights, and international harmonization of legal norms. The development of specialized investigation methods, including big data analytics and machine learning technologies, must be balanced with increasing security and transparency standards. Particular attention is paid to the issue of further modernization of training programs for legal professionals and the involvement of experts in the field of cybersecurity, which will allow for a faster response to the dynamics of new threats
METAVERSE AND METATHEORY
Get PDFThe article outlines the conceptual and methodological foundations of understanding the metaverse as a sociotechnical infrastructure of the "embodied internet", which intertwines the practices of virtual and augmented reality with the services of the physical world. The focus is on the issues of digital identity, agency, and responsibility, as well as the attachment of law and order to events in the virtual environment (electronic jurisdiction).
Methodologically, the work is based on a metatheoretical approach. Metatheory is considered as a "level of the second order", which explores the structure, methods and boundaries of application of subject theories, analyzes the rules for the creation of knowledge — axiomatics, derivation schemes, criteria of correctness, completeness and consistency, as well as the conditions for introducing new concepts and procedures for their operationalization. It provides definitional clarity, consistency and reproducibility of knowledge.
The article clarifies the content of the metaverse: from the "virtual world" to an interoperable infrastructure with persistent user identity, portability of digital assets, and agreed access and moderation procedures (policy-as-code). It is shown that such a framework provides grounds for combining technical standards (data exchange, interoperability of protocols) with human rights guarantees (privacy, non-discrimination, appealability)
