With the growing dependence on APIs in contemporary software systems, API security has become a pressing challenge, especially against automated AI-based attacks and zero-day threats. Signature-based and rule-based security solutions are not adequate to identify well-structured pattern-based sophisticated reconnaissance or probing attacks. This study suggests an AI-based Security Platform (ASP) that learns dynamic patterns of valid API requests from actual application traffic. The system uses hierarchical semantic analysis to vectorize and flatten structured API payloads and then extract features. A self-attention mechanism augmented Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) captures the structural and temporal patterns in the request sequences. Anomaly detection policy classifies traffic in real time and only permits behavior conforming to the learned patterns while rate-limiting or blocking exploratory calls deemed anomalous. This strategy avoids attackers mapping system behavior and lowers the attack surface, with an added benefit of zero-day resilience. The new method makes large gains in accuracy and false-positive rate over current models.

This scientific article is devoted to the issues of identifying innovative business models of youth tourism based on two scientific approaches: functional-innovative (customized business model, virtual tourism platform, franchising business model) and holistic (shared tourism platforms, outdoor co-working tourism, organization of youth hostels, mobile karaoke bars and pub for youth, developing tourism programs (including package tours) for social networks, couchsurfing tours for youth, personalized tourism offers for young people, the organization of «combo tours» (combination of several types of tourism), crowdsourcing tourism, organization of tours in the format of «digital nomads», organization of tree tours, transformational tourism, digital tourism, organization of tours with ATVs, mopeds and bicycles). Furthermore, the study was able to identify conceptual business models that describe the specific characteristics and components of the different types of youth tourism: close interaction between tour operator, travel agency and end consumer based on the use of digital solutions; partial involvement of tour operators and travel agencies in the design of the tourist offer or without; involvement of third parties not directly connected with the tourism market; the presence of a large number of intermediaries; pronounced customization of services; participation of the main players in the tourist market of service organizations through intermediaries; organization of trips without physical departure using digital tools; close interaction of individuals in the process of organizing trips based on digital platforms. In the work, a scientometric and content analysis of search queries was conducted to identify important research areas within the framework of the scientific problems considered by the authors (the total amount of information used for the study was 4309 scientific documents; at the same time, the number of search queries processed in Google Trends was 4 units with an average observation period of 5 years); in addition, the distinguishing features of classic and innovative business models, including those related to the tourism business, were identified, a matrix for the correspondence of conceptual and specific business models of youth tourism was created, as well as their distribution according to three selected criteria: the level of formation of tourist interest and personalization, the degree of involvement of the tourist in the process of providing tourist services. It is also important to note that based on the results of the study, a conceptual scheme for the correlation of organizational functions and the formation of structural units and organizational links within a tourism company in the selection of the optimal innovative business model for youth tourism was developed.

This article continues the analysis of the continuity problem with regard to contemporary and Soviet-era solidarity practices as exemplified by patronage and corporate volunteering, which was started in the article published in the Yearbook of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2019 and was devoted to the theme of meanings and functions of both activities This article analyzes the subjects, resources (organizational, material, and personal) and competencies of both solidarity activities as well as their socio-economic mechanisms. The author draws abconclusion that the organizational orderliness of volunteering is not always sufficient for its social effectiveness. In turn, social effectiveness occurs where absystem of non-random horizontal connections is built and where the interaction of subjects included in volunteer projects is based on local identities and an operational system of social responsibility. Where local interests (ofbauthorities or businesses) supersede the public good, both recipients and donors get disappointed in volunteer projects. The objective of comparing the two social practices is to reveal the theme of the semantic and functional continuity of current solidarity practices and Soviet-era experience (with corporate volunteering and Soviet-era patronage as abspecial case). The application task is to identify sociological parameters of comparison in order to understand what elements of Soviet experience can be used today in doctrinal substantiation and organizational solutions related to volunteering (public and corporate).

RAND Europe and the University of Manchester explored the role played by the dark web in fuelling and/or facilitating the worldwide illegal arms trade. The overall aim was to estimate the size and scope of the trade in firearms and related products on cryptomarkets, including the number of dark web markets listing firearms and related products, and the range and type of firearms and related products advertised and sold on cryptomarkets.
