Obiectivele studiului: 1. Studierea fenomenului Inteligenței Artificiale și a etapelor sale de evoluție. 2. Afișarea stărei prezente de utilizare în scopuri abuzive și malicioase a IA pentru profitul infractorilor în domeniul cibernetic. 3. Prezentarea potențialelor scenarii de viitor a utilizării instrumentelor de Inteligență Artificială pentru efectuarea atacurilor cibernetice. 4. Analiza impactului atacurilor cibernetice cu folosirea tehnologiilor IA asupra busines-ulurilor, consumatorilor. Prezentarea dificultăților ce vor apărea în viitor în domeniul securității informaționale. Specularea asupra intențiilor răufăcătorilor și prezentarea unei liste de recomandări contra atacurilor cu folosirea de tehnologii IA. Ipoteza de cercetare. Analiza acestei teme și prezentarea unor cazuri reale a folosirii IA în scopuri malițioase ar putea scoate în evidență problema discutate, prezență potențialele riscuri pentru organizații și promovarea IA ca instrument pentru a ajuta dezvoltatorii software în crearea lucrilor bune. Valoarea aplicativă a lucrării. Studiul efectuat poate ajuta organizațiile ce stau în spatele tehnologiilor IA în modificarea algoritmelor acestora, astfel în cît ele să fie cu mult mai greu de utilizat pentru infractorii cibernetici. La fel, acesta poate ajuta diverse organizații în implimentarea politicilor și tacticelor de apărare contra atacuri cibernetice cu folosirea IA. Noutatea și originalitatea. Deși lucrarea se bazează pe unele studii efectuate anteriror de alți experți în domeniul de securitatea, teza prezintă atacurile ce sunt deja posibile și atacuri cibernetice ce ar putea fi posibile în viitor. Aceste lucruri au fost deduse doar în baza cunoștințelor și posibilităților prezente astăzi.Field of study: Theoretical and practical aspects of Artificial Intelligence and linguistic models to develop a case study on the misuse of AI by cyber criminals. Objectives of the study: 1. To study the phenomenon of Artificial Intelligence and its stages of evolution. 2. To show the present state of misuse and malicious use of AI for the profit of cyber criminals. 3. Presenting potential future scenarios of the use of AI tools to carry out cyber attacks. 4. Analysis of the impact of cyber attacks using AI technologies on businesses, consumers. Presentation of future challenges in the field of information security. Speculating on the intentions of the perpetrators and presenting a list of recommendations against attacks using AI technologies. Research hypothesis. Analysis of this topic and presentation of real cases of using AI for malicious purposes could highlight the discussed issue, the presence of potential risks for organizations and promotion of AI as a tool to help software developers in creating good things. Application value of the paper. The study conducted can help organizations behind AI technologies in modifying their algorithms so that they are much harder to use for cyber criminals. Likewise, it can help various organizations in implementing policies and tactics to defend against cyber attacks using AI. Novelty and originality. Although the paper is based on some previous studies by other security experts, the thesis presents attacks that are already possible and cyber attacks that could be possible in the future. These have only been deduced based on the knowledge and possibilities present today

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    What is social engineering and how to prevent IT?

    When we think about cyber-security, most of us think about defending ourselves against hackers who use technological weaknesses to attack data networks. But there's another way into organizations that's taking advantage of human weakness. This is known as social engineering, which involves tricking someone into divulging information or enabling access to data networks

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
