Addressing these threats is crucial for ensuring access to credible information and maintaining social stability. To this end, enhancing current methods and developing new solutions aimed at ensuring safety in the digital environment is essential. In the pursuit of identifying features determining the truthfulness of disseminated information, research has primarily focused on analyzing content, stylistic means, and other linguistic aspects. To a lesser extent, the propagation process itself and the associated graphs illustrating its scope and dynamics have been examined, which can also significantly influence the truthfulness of information. To explain and counteract complex phenomena dependent on numerous factors, a multifaceted approach is crucial. This approach should encompass as many relevant areas as possible, allowing for a broader understanding of the problem and the development of countermeasures that pose a more challenging obstacle to subsequent disinformation efforts. By integrating content analysis with the study of propagation dynamics, researchers can develop more robust tools to detect and counter disinformation campaigns effectively. The conducted study focused on the statistical analysis of datasets derived from information propagation graphs. Various statistics, such as node centrality measures and network parameters, were utilized to provide insights into the network structure. The results support the hypothesis that the truthfulness of news influences the dissemination process in virtual social networks. These emerging differences can be utilized to develop solutions to detect and counter disinformation campaigns.","PeriodicalId":500291,"journal":{"name":"Communications of the IBIMA","volume":"79 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141653112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Giergiel","doi":"10.5171/2024.484764","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5171/2024.484764","url":null,"abstract":"This paper presents a comprehensive development process of magnetic adhesion modules designed for mobile robots working in shipyards, performing hull-cleaning duties. The main aim is to prepare a secure system that will allow robots to safely navigate on ferromagnetic hulls. Typical process involves sandblasting performed by human personnel, which creates highly dangerous working conditions and requires numerous safety precautions to prevent both human accidents and environmental contamination related to cleaning medium spreading. Delegating this task to robot allows the deployment of specially designed cleaning equipment, reducing accidents’ chance, medium spreading and its usage thanks to dedicated salvage system. Existing literature lacks precise information on magnetic force calculations due to the high complexity of the problem that can be accounted to magnet shape or used materials. This study could be used as a guideline for development of similar equipment. The Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) software is utilized for modelling and simulating numerous solutions that align with the working conditions of the robot. To generate a high-density, low-range magnetic field, which would be highly compatible for working conditions, Halbach array was used and comparison with single magnet of equivalent size was provided. The paper also discusses material choice and geometric considerations for the chassis. Experimental measurements of physical system involved multiple magnets’ configurations. This study provides a thorough comparison of numerical predictions and an actual performance of developed magnetic adhesion modules, establishing a field-tested design that can serve as a valuable reference for future work.","PeriodicalId":500291,"journal":{"name":"Communications of the IBIMA","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140436887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
