Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the situation of the housing market in the face of the conditions resulting from the covid-19 pandemic. The research focuses on the phenomena that took place in the individual quarters of the years 2019-2021, i.e. just before the pandemic period, during the restrictive phase of the pandemic and just after the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: Data for 16 cities, which are provincial capitals, were analysed. The source data comes from the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and the Report on the Situation on the Residential and Commercial Real Estate Market in Poland in 2019, 2020 and 2021 prepared by the National Bank of Poland. The methodology of the research was based on statistical methods, and a study was made of changes over time in the number of transactions made and average unit prices of residential units and rental rates, as well as the number of dwellings offered. Findings: The research shows that the market dynamics hardly slowed down during the pandemic period. In all surveyed cities, an increase in unit prices of residential units and a decrease in rental rates were observed in selected quarters of 2020. In 2021, the residential property market in the main cities in Poland was in an expansionary phase. The number of transactions made was strongly influenced by the ability to obtain mortgage loans. During the study period, the interest rate was at a significantly low level. On the basis of the research carried out, it must be concluded that the market that defended itself from the pandemic crisis was the residential market. This supports the finding that residential real estate is perceived as a relatively safe investment of capital, which has so far yielded higher rates of return compared to placing cash in safer assets such as Treasury bonds or bank deposits. Originality/value: The publication describes the behaviour of the residential property market during and immediately after the COVID 19 pandemic. Demand, supply and prices of residential units are analysed. The publication is aimed at those analysing the impact of pandemics and other unusual events on markets and real estate professionals. Keywords: housing market, pandemic covid-19, buy-sell, rent-to-rent. Category of the paper: market research.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to present the actual efficiency of a gas-fired instantaneous water heater for the production of domestic hot water. Design/methodology/approach: The object of the study was a gas-fired instantaneous domestic hot water heater located in a flat in Krakow. Measurements with a suitable device were carried out for three basic variants of hot water preparation, defined as showering, washing hands and washing dishes. Findings: The tests and analyses carried out have revealed that the current efficiency (average efficiency based on 3 measurements – 77.61%) differs radically from that indicated on the water heater data sheet. Such a drop in efficiency may be caused e.g. by fouling of the surface of the heat exchanger on the flue gas side and scaling of the exchanger on the heated side. Research limitations/implications: The tests proved that the heater did not reach its nominal efficiency during the tests, but on the other hand, simulations of different intensities and durations of water consumption did not drastically change the efficiency of hot water preparation. Practical implications: Regular cleaning of the exchanger would probably reduce the difference between the efficiency declared by the manufacturer and the one achieved during the tests. A clean heater will also ensure a sufficiently low level of carbon monoxide in the flue gas, which has a real impact on the safety of the appliance. Social implications: The values obtained from the measurements for each operating mode can help occupants understand how to prepare water most efficiently with this particular appliance, which will have a real impact on the bills they pay. The user will be provided with information on what percentage of energy they use from the volume of gas burned. Originality/value: Gas-fired instantaneous water heaters provide an efficient and energy-saving solution, especially in situations where the demand for hot water is low, and immediate access to it is crucial. Keywords: hot water, hot water management, gas-fired instantaneous water heater. Category of the paper: Research paper.

Enhancing students’ learning experience in mathematics class through ChatGPT
Authors: Gouia-Zarrad Rim , Gunn Cindy
Published: May 2024

This research paper explores the integration of ChatGPT as a tool for interactive learning of numerical methods in a differential equations (DEs) course. DE course is crucial for engineering students to model real-world phenomena. However, many DE courses focus only on analytical solutions and neglect important numerical solutions. To overcome this gap, an active learning approach was adopted, where students were asked to select a real-life phenomenon in their field of interest, find an appropriate model to describe it using DEs, and subsequently solve DE numerically using various numerical methods. The authors allowed students to use ChatGPT to generate codes and learn how to adapt them to their personalized learning needs. The findings derived from the students’ survey responses demonstrated that ChatGPT significantly enhanced their interests and improved their coding skills. Students reported increased engagement and excitement in their learning journey with the integration of ChatGPT. By sharing this experience, we aim to inspire other educators to explore the potential of innovative technologies and instructional methods to enhance their own courses.

Cotton is an important fiber crop, with special significance in the historical, cultural, and socio-economic development of the planet. In Peru, the great color variability of cotton fibers has allowed the commercialization of numerous textile products throughout the centuries. At present, cotton species native to South America, such as Gossypium barbadense, are constantly threatened by anthropogenic factors, and thus there is a clear need for species conservation. Therefore, this study aimed to collect G. barbadense germplasm in Peru, characterize the germplasm by fiber color, and evaluate the application of different methods of germplasm conservation. The evaluated methods were seed bank, field techniques, and in vitro culture. Two hundred seventy-six samples of G. barbadense were collected between 2017 and 2021 and classified by fiber color into monochrome and polychrome of white (114 samples), orange (107) and brown (41). The conservation methods showed that the seed bank samples ranged from 50 g to 1 kg, while 95% of the field accessions survived. In addition, seedlings presented positive developmental responses when they were grown in vitrounder modified MS culture, sucrose 2.0%, vitamins, glycine 2.0 mgL-1, and AgNO3 2.0 mg L-1. This study provides evidence of the color variability of G. barbadense distributed throughout Peru, and confirms that this species can be managed and conserved using germplasm conservation methods.

El nitrógeno en el suelo es crucial para la agricultura, pero a menudo es limitante, afectando el rendimiento de los cultivos. La deficiencia requiere fertilizantes sintéticos, pero su uso inadecuado causa daños ambientales y costos elevados. Las bacterias del género Rhizobium, simbiontes de leguminosas, ofrecen una solución al fijar nitrógeno de manera sostenible, reduciendo la dependencia de fertilizantes. Esta investigación determinó el número más probable (NMP) de células de Rhizobium spp. procedente de dos biofertilizantes comerciales de origen ecuatoriano y mexicano en condiciones de invernadero. Para esto, se realizó la inoculación directa con disoluciones seriadas (10-1 a 10-10)en macetas con pomina esterilizada al vapor, donde se germinaron plantas de frijol ejotero (Phaseolusvulgaris L.) de la variedad Blue Lake. A los 45 días después de siembra (DDS)se evaluaron los siguientes indicadores morfológicos: área foliar, peso de la planta en húmedo, altura de planta y número de flores, determinándose diferencias estadísticas entre el tipo de biofertilizante y la concentración de cada dilución. El experimento se adecuó a un diseño de bloques completos al azar con arreglo de parcela dividida con tres repeticiones por dilución, en consideración de las fluctuaciones de temperatura presentes en la zona de estudio. El NMP, al 95% de confianza, fue de 4,45x107 rizobios g-1 de pomina en una dilución 10-5 para el biofertilizante mexicano, y 1,48x105rizobios g-1 de pomina en una dilución 10-4 para el biofertilizante ecuatoriano. La dilución óptima estimada para ambos productos fue de 10-8
La admisión especial universitaria: aportes y externalidades del Programa de Acompañamiento y Acceso Efectivo a la Educación Superior (PACE) de Chile a la inclusión social e igualdad de oportunidades
Authors: Rodríguez Garcés Carlos , Romero Garrido David , Espinosa Valenzuela Denisse , Padilla-Fuentes Geraldo
Published: May 2024

Utilizando datos del proceso de admisión a la educación superior en 2020, este artículo analiza el comportamiento distributivo de los cupos especiales de una política de inclusión socioeducativa chilena. Se crearon distintos indicadores para perfilar tanto la demanda como la oferta programática que adhiere a esta iniciativa. Los resultados evidencian que la asignación de cupos especiales no es homogénea ni azarosa; conforme mayor es la elitización, perfil académico y atributos socioeconómicos de la matrícula de un programa, menor es su cantidad de vacantes para admisión especial. Asimismo, los cupos especiales aumentan en carreras con bajos niveles de demanda y que concentran estudiantes con bajo desempeño en pruebas de admisión. Las conclusiones discuten si la contribución que los programas de mayor prestigio hacen a la inclusión social es más simbólica que real, así como la configuración de una lógica de uso instrumental de la admisión especial en programas de baja demanda.

This research investigates the motivations and objectives of visitor participation in trade fairs in Thessaloniki. In particular, the trend of combining professional goals with the entertainment of visitors is investigated. The aim of the research is to determine whether the inclination to blend economic goals with entertainment is a shared characteristic among attendees of all trade fair events, or if it varies in any manner. Mixed methods research was used: quantitative research (1,066 participants) and in-depth interviews (51 participants). In order to comprehensively understand phenomena and ensure validity, the triangulation approach was used. The results showed that the type of trade fair is related to visitors' participation objectives. Specifically, the reason for visiting the trade fairs addressed to the general public is mainly entertainment, while those of the specialized sectoral trade fairs are mainly business-related. However, even in the sectoral trade fairs there is a significant percentage in several cases that mentions fun-entertainment as an objective. These results are of great research importance, but also of managerial importance, both for the trade fair organizers and for the local tourism development agencies.

Capsular Tension Ring and Iris Hook Use in The Management of Cataract with Phacoemulsification Method in Dogs
Authors: Bulut Osman , Akyüz Ünsal Ayşe İpek , Belge Ali
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcome of capsular tension ring and iris hook use during phacoemulsification in dogs with zonular weakness and miotic pupils. This study includes nineteen dogs (29 eyes) that underwent phacoemulsification (15 dogs/25 eyes) and extracapsular cataract extraction surgery (4 dogs/4 eyes) between February 2014 and February 2015. Patients with any ophthalmic problem other than cataracts were not included in the study. Some dogs did not achieve pharmacologic pupil dilation. These dogs required the use of iris hooks or the insertion of capsular tension rings. The capsular tension ring insertion was used in dogs with zonular rupture in more than half of the zonules. Capsular tension rings were inserted in cases of zonular dialysis and iris hooks were placed to widen the pupil. Fifteen dogs (25 eyes) underwent phacoemulsification, while 4 (4 eyes) received extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) surgery due to the difficulty of phacoemulsification in hypermature cataracts. Iris hooks were used in four dogs (8 eyes) for drug-resistant miotic pupils. Capsular tension rings were inserted to stabilize the lens capsule during phacoemulsification and to centralize the intraocular lens (IOL) in the bag. Capsular tension rings in cases of zonular dialysis and iris hooks in drug-resistant miotic pupils improved the success of cataract operations with phacoemulsification. Both are safe and useful for zonular weakness and for maintaining mydriasis during surgery.
Lookups and Measured Knowledge
Authors: Graham Matthew H.
Published: May 2024

How do survey respondents who look up the answers affect measures of knowledge? This paper derives the "lookup bias'' in survey measures of knowledge. Lookup bias has two key components: the prevalence of lookups and the "lookup yield," i.e. the average lookup's effect on measured knowledge. Even when lookups are common, the lookup yield is small when information is scarce or inaccurate, as well as when respondents use lookups to confirm what they already know rather than to fill in ignorance. To test these insights, I develop an instrumental variables method for estimating the lookup yield and apply it to the study of politics. On standard political knowledge questions, the yield is about 0.5, meaning that each lookup results in about 0.5 additional correct answers. Variation across questions in the lookup yield appears to be related to variation in the availability of accurate information and the probability of guessing correctly. For example, on "catch" questions that are designed to be easy to look up and hard to guess, the yield is close to 1. The results suggest that in most settings, lookup bias is considerably smaller than the proportion of respondents who look up the answer.

Sit beside rather than face others: Influence of body orientation on psychological perspective-taking
Authors: Kambara Ayumi , Muto Hiroyuki , Rossetti Yves
Published: May 2024

Taking others' psychological perspectives (PPT: inferring thoughts and mental states from others' viewpoints) is crucial in society. Clinical populations with PPT deficiencies struggle with social adaptation, and even the general population often fails to take others' perspectives, leading to interpersonal conflicts. Despite its significance, the ideal conditions for PPT have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we demonstrated that body orientation relative to a target person improves PPT accuracy. We posited that as with visuospatial perspective-taking (VPT: inferences about how others see physical objects), PPT involves covert mental rotation of one's body schema from one's position to the target’s position. Therefore, it was hypothesized that smaller angular disparities between the two partners, known to promote VPT because of less mental rotation required, facilitate more accurate PPT. Fifty undergraduates participated in a musical tapping game (Newton, 1990), where it is difficult to infer the other person’s experiences accurately. Participants were seated in two conditions: facing the target person, i.e., face-to-face condition (180°), and sitting next to the target person, i.e., side-by-side condition (0°). Results indicated that those in the side-by-side condition made more accurate inferences about the other’s mental experiences than those in the face-to-face condition. This supports the theoretical hypothesis that mental-body rotation in VPT may also contribute to PPT. This study might open new avenues for developing indirect methods of improving PPT, without relying on effort and cognitive capacity, by simply applying physical posture or movement that promotes VPT.
Raptor persecution, conflict, and coexistence
Authors: Wallen Kenneth , Bickford Nate
Published: May 2024

How a society views wildlife—the values and meanings people attach to and the emotions evoked by a raptor species—determines the negative to positive outcomes of human–raptor interactions and raptor conservation writ large. Interactions of raptors and humans are shaped by legacies and contemporary patterns of persecution, conflict, and coexistence. Those interactions are steeped in historical and emergent ecological, social, political, cultural and economic realities. Those realities are likewise steeped in deep-rooted beliefs about the relationship between humans and nature. Views, values, meanings, and emotions are, therefore, central to raptor conservation and management. History reflects that societies view and value raptors, like other wildlife species, varyingly across continuums of threat/nonthreat or predator/pest, which convey specific sociocultural meanings and consequent actions. Societies either conflict or coexist with wildlife based on how they define species in relation to material, physical, and psychological boundaries associated with shared spaces, resources, and livelihoods. For contemporary raptor conservation and management, the human dimensions (HD) field and associated programs of human–wildlife interactions (HWI) are central to understand those boundaries.

Metaphors and the Politics of Nationhood in Bhutto’s If I Am Assassinated
Authors: Lamichhane Yog Raj
Published: May 2024

This paper examines the conceptual metaphors used in Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s autobiographical writing If I Am Assassinated. This autobiographical testament is the response from the death cell of the Rawalpindi District Jail to the allegations of the military regime in the form of the White Paper which is perceived as an authoritative report by an organization. The legal cum political response was smuggled from the jail and published in India shortly before his execution. The qualitative study concentrates mainly on the nature and function of the conceptual metaphors in this dominantly political discourse. To address this issue, the concepts of conceptual metaphor developed by Lakoff and Johnsen (2003) has been used as theoretical base. Finally, the identification and interpretation of the metaphors have established that the trauma conveyed through conceptual metaphors affects the politics of nationhood. Particularly, such metaphors present Bhutto as a supra-subaltern character in Pakistani politics who fights to the end for democracy and nationalism.
Collaborating a Dependent Business Model: Corporate Social Responsibility - Evidence from India
Authors: Sharma Kriti , Gautam Tara Prasad
Published: May 2024

The research concludes that businesses in developing nations, notably India, exhibit a steadfast commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Despite marked advancements in CSR procedures, there remains a judgment for businesses to transcend self-interest and embrace a broader societal perspective. For multinational corporations (MNCs), robust CSR practices are indispensable for upholding their reputational integrity. The research utilizes secondary data of the Net Profit after taxes, CSR Spending and Budget for the Fiscal Years 2017–18 to 2021–22, Share prices for the fiscal years 2017–18 through 2021–22 on the BSE and NSE, and Sector-wise distribution of CSR initiatives from company websites, online databases, and annual reports. The findings suggest that businesses in developing nations, including India, are committed to CSR. While there has been an improvement in CSR practices, businesses are still not consistently going above and beyond or solely focusing on themselves. This study contributes valuable insights into the evolving CSR terrain within India, shedding light on the strides made and the persistent challenges encountered in fostering a symbiotic relationship between corporate profitability and social responsibility. By delineating these nuances, the research seeks to inform stakeholders and policymakers about the trajectory of CSR evolution, thereby fostering a conducive environment for sustainable and responsible business practices. The study provides valuable insights into the CSR landscape in India and the ongoing efforts to integrate responsible business practices.
Factors Influencing Adoption of Two-Wheeler Electric Vehicles in Nepal
Authors: Neupane Samulson , Shakya Binju
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to explore the factors influencing the adoption of two-wheeler electric vehicles (2WEVs) in Nepal during the 2022/23 period. As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) gains momentum worldwide, understanding the factors driving or hindering their adoption is critical for policymakers, manufacturers, and distributors in Nepal. The study collected data from 387 respondents through an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included several independent variables, such as financial incentives, social reinforcement, environmental concerns, charging infrastructure, and price. These variables were analyzed to determine their impact on the adoption of 2WEVs. Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted to simplify the factor structure of the data and identify the suitability of the responses. By using correlation and multiple regression analyses, the findings of the study showed that price, financial incentives, and charging infrastructure had a significant impact on EV adoption. Environmental concern and social reinforcement did not show a significant relationship with the dependent variable. To improve the adoption of 2WEVs in Nepal, manufacturers and distributors need to improve their pricing compared to fuel-driven vehicles. It is also necessary to provide financial incentives, such as tax breaks and subsidies, to promote electric vehicle adoption. Additionally, the government needs to upgrade the charging infrastructure to provide convenience for electric vehicle users. Furthermore, as environmental concerns are not a top priority for Nepalese consumers, it is crucial to raise citizens' environmental awareness through educational campaigns and other initiatives.

Authors: Utari Ulil Azmi , Fauziah Yuli
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This study aims to determine the factors that affect the intention to use and satisfaction of GoPayLater users in Yogyakarta, by assessing the relationship between variables so that recommendation for improvent can be given.Design/methodology/approach: This study uses the DeLone & McLean adoption model by Seddon which includes 5 constructs namely system quality, information quality, perceived usefulness, intention to use and user satisfaction. Primary data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires using likert scale measurement to 128 GoPayLater users. The data analysis technique used is SEM-PLS to test the measurement model, structural model and test the hypothesis via SmartPLS software.Findings/results:Based on the results of hypothesis testing in this study, two hypotheses were rejected from eight hypothesises.
