Published: December 2024

A magyar kórházi vezetők jelentős kihívásokkal szembesülnek a mindennapi működés során, különösen a központi szabályozás, az erőforráshiány és a vezetői autonómia korlátai miatt. A kórházi struktúrák összetettségére és a vezetői szerepkörök kettősségére és az ebből adódó vezetői kihívásokra Henry Mintzberg „care, cure, control, community” modellje hívja fel a figyelmet. Kutatásuk kvalitatív módszertani segítségével, hazai környezetben tárja fel ezeket a vezetői kihívásokat és azonosítja a megoldásokat, amelyekkel a vezetők sikeresen kezelhetik ezeket a problémákat. Az eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a vezetők számára a legnagyobb kihívások közé tartozik a szűkös erőforrások kezelése, a bizonytalan környezet, a vezetői szerepek konfliktusainak kezelése, a csökkenő autonómia, valamint a dolgozók motiválása. Mindezek hatékony kezeléséhez rendszerszintű változásokra és a holisztikus megközelítésre van szükség a magyar kórházakban, miközben számtalan területen tapasztalhatóak olyan eredmények, amelyek a hazai vezetők helyes kontextus-értelmezését, jó vezetői ösztöneiket és tapasztalataikat, helyes megoldásaikat mutatják. Eredményeink alapvető iránymutatásokat nyújtanak a kórházi vezetők számára, hogy hatékonyabb döntéseket hozzanak és eredményesebben működjenek a komplex szervezeti környezetben.
Navigating Vulnerability: A Comprehensive Approach to Addressing the Unique Needs of Older Adults in Disasters
Authors: Roy Shuvajit , Bandyopadhyay Lina
Published: December 2024

The vulnerability of older adults during disasters stems from health-related dependencies, socio-economic inequities, and neglect. Addressing their distinct needs in disaster conditions is imperative. Their health requirements include physical, psychological, functional, and nutritional aspects. Along with that, their socio-cultural needs involve considerations for cultural attachments, communication preferences, and potential neglect in post-disaster financial support. Strategies to address this issue encompass community needs assessment, family-based response plans, and effective communication methods. In the impact phase, shelters must cater to nutritional needs and provide gender-segregated facilities. The recovery phase emphasizes restoring normalcy and social security for older adults, raising awareness of post-disaster risks. Engaging older adults in community response leverages their valuable contributions. A forward-looking approach involves community awareness, inclusive planning, cultural sensitivity, and government support for a comprehensive response to older adults' unique needs in disasters.

Authors: Belalmi Khemissi , Belagraa Larbi , Taallah Bachir
Published: December 2024

The present investigation aims to study principally the durability of mortars based on a local prepared sand from the region of Oued Souf (southeeast, Algeria), in accordance with standard sand classification.. The main objective of the research is to replace the fine part between (0.08 and 0.16 mm) which is of the order of 15% and to substitute it with active mineral addition; slag (S)]. Dosages of 5, 10 and 15% for the addition were varied as replacement of the finer sand fraction (0.08 – 0.16 mm) for these tested specimens in the experimental program. However, the rest of the coarser granular fractions of the prepared sand were kept at fixed standard proportioning. Thus, the influence of this additive [S] as replacement of finer part fraction of activated sand on physical properties, density and shrinkage is considered in this investigation. Furthermore, the durability performances in an aggressive chemical environment (HCl, H2SO4) of the prepared sand mortars were evaluated. The results obtained showed the advantageous effect of replacing prepared sand with (slag) addition  on the physical characteristics of  studied mortar mainly,  density, shrinkage and durability. Furthermore, this replacement by slag addition proved to be  improving mechanical performances as gain in strength loss or even mass losses with regard to the durability property in aggressive medium of such cementitious product based on activated sand. Finally, it can be concluded that the optimum percentage of 10% has been shown to deliver the best results for a much more performant sustainable mortars based on slag in aggressive environment (HCl, H2SO4) for the present study.
Lagrangian approach for in-depth evaluation of subsurface enhancement: analytical insights and 3D numerical investigation featuring Sand Compaction Piles installed beneath shallow foundations
Authors: Tabchouche Seifeddine , Bouassida Mounir , Boutelikht Mourad , Dhouadi Abdellah , Hebbache Kamel
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the performance of sand compaction piles (SCPs) using numerical modeling techniques. Initially, the widely used composite cell approach was employed to simulate the behavior of SCPs within a finite element study (FEM). However, a comparison of the FEM-predicted vertical displacements with in-situ measurements revealed significant underestimations, highlighting the limitations of this simplified approach. To address these limitations, a more advanced Lagrangian finite-difference approach, implemented using the FLAC3D code, was developed. This model was calibrated against the analytical Greenwood solution, demonstrating strong agreement of predicted vertical displacements. The numerical simulations enabled a better highlight of improvement in soil settlement behavior after SCPs installation, attributed to increased soil stiffness and shear strength parameters. The study delved into various aspects of SCP behavior, including lateral deformation, stress distribution, and the effects of pile length, material properties, and loading conditions. The results provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the performance of SCPs and the factors influencing their effectiveness in improving soil resistance and reducing settlement. By understanding these mechanisms, engineers can optimize the design and implementation of SCPs in geotechnical engineering applications.

Published: December 2024

Despite their complexity and inherent randomness, which make their analysis challenging, a thorough understanding of local rainfall characteristics is crucial for the proper sizing of urban stormwater drainage systems. In the Mediterranean city of Annaba, frequent flooding events highlight the critical need for efficient rainwater management. The lack of effective drainage infrastructure has led to significant social and economic consequences, particularly during intense rainfall episodes. This study investigates rainfall occurrences recorded at the Pont-Bouchet station, covering a 22-year period (1977-1999) with 1,866 rainfall events. Detailed analysis of the data includes the construction of Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves and the application of double-triangle project storms across various periods (1977-1981; 1982-1986; 1987-1992; 1993-1999). The hydrological simulation of this rainfall data for various periods provides valuable insights into areas of the drainage network susceptible to overflow. The findings aim to improve stormwater management strategies and mitigate the adverse impacts of flooding in urban areas.
LCC-HVDC Link Performance Amelioration by Dynamic Fuzzy PI Controller
Authors: Kherfane Naas , M'Hamdi Benalia
Published: December 2024

Recently, HVDC connections have experienced significant development in their integration into electrical systems.In this work, we considered reducing the effect of short circuits in HVDC links by using Intelligence artificial method that operate dynamically in real time. In particular, the limit values of the current at the start of the short circuit and switching failure. Thus, we have focused on improving performance during short circuits using one of the methods of artificial intelligence, which is fuzzy logic, which does not require in-depth knowledge and complete mathematical modeling of the system to be improved, such as nonlinear systems. This has been represented by proposing a fuzzy-based intelligent controller that controls the characteristics of the traditional LCC-HVDC controller so that it dynamically changes as needed. The results were very satisfactory for single-phase faults and also for three-phase faults.

Authors: Nadjet Hadjadj , Chahrazed Kious , Khenioui Abderrezak , Salah Asnoun
Published: December 2024

The use of mind maps and geographic maps to promote creative thinking and critical learning is examined in this article. It emphasizes how maps and other visual aids can improve students' comprehension, organization, and ability to relate to the information. Students can investigate relationships within physical locations using geographic maps, particularly when they are utilized interactively. This promotes engagement and interest. Teachers can help students to think critically about a variety of issues, including environmental changes, spatial patterns, and global links, by introducing mind mapping techniques into geography lectures. Additionally, by coming up with original concepts and solutions,students are engaging in creative problem-solving when they make their own maps or examine geographic data. By encouraging both analytical skills and imaginative thinking, this method turns geographic maps from a source of factual knowledge into a platform for the development of critical cognitive abilities. The paper recommends a number of useful exercises, such as collaborative brainstorming sessions,GIS-based research projects, and interactive map analysis. By converting standard geography instruction into an interactive and thought-provoking activity, these techniques seek to enhance the educational process. Students acquire the abilities necessary for critical and creative thinking in practical settings while also gaining a deeper comprehension of geographical ideas thanks to these resources.
Effect of microwave drying on onion (Allium cepa l): experimental study
Authors: Rahmani Youcef , Khama Réda
Published: December 2024

Onion is an agricultural product widely used in daily life in fresh or dried state where microwave-drying method is one of the exploitable techniques. In such an operation, it would be important to control the effect of the output power in the device on the physicochemical quality of the food. In addition to the water content, the study of the physicochemical quality of onions concerns the color and the shrinkage rate. Monitoring and controlling these parameters is strongly recommended for microwave-dried onions. Onion slices of fixed dimensions (thickness of 10 mm and diameter of 67 mm) are microwave dried, at four different powers (90, 180, 270 and 360 W). The physicochemical quality of the samples is measured at each end of drying and all evaluations are based on minimum values. The results show that the increase of the drying power of the onions accelerates the degradation of their color and increases their shrinkage rate; nevertheless, a reduction in the drying time is quite remarkable. The browning index and shrinkage rate of onion slices are proportional to the microwave drying power. However, the drying time is inversely proportional. Finally, a drying power equal to 90 W and a thickness of the onion slices equal to 10 millimeters are recommended.

The article examines several questions regarding the structural nature of poetry, the main one being the concept of the “universal structure” of poetry, its “ideal model,” which is realized in specific works, different directions, and separate poetic texts that are considered as concrete embodiments of this ideal model. Each poetic work is seen as a unity of distinct internal levels, with the external side represented by the linguistic totality of the text, and the internal side by the information that lies in its depths as a semantic perspective or “parallel reality.”
В статье рассматривается ряд вопросов, связанных со структурностью поэзии. Главным из них является понятие «универсальной структуры» поэзии, её «идеальной модели», которая реализуется в конкретных произведениях, направлениях и отдельных поэтических текстах. Эти тексты рассматриваются как единое целое – конкретные воплощения идеальной модели. Каждое поэтическое произведение представляется как единство отдельных внутренних уровней, внешняя сторона которого выражена через языковую совокупность текста, а внутренняя сторона – это информация, заключённая в его глубине как смысловая перспектива или «параллельная реальность».

Authors: Mamintal Assiya
Published: December 2024

The state of science education in the Philippines remains a concern, as demonstrated by low rankings in international assessments. Despite efforts to improve science education, challenges persist due to the inadequacy of appropriate, adaptable, and research-based instructional material aligned with educational objectives. Similar ongoing problems with limited instructional materials were reported by Holy Trinity College of General Santos City – Special Science Class (SSC). Therefore, this study aimed to address the issue by developing, validating, and assessing an interactive Chemistry-based electronic module using Nod to Mind Advancement (NODMA) tailored for Special Science 9 students. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach alongside quasi-experimental and quantitative research designs. The process involved identifying the least mastered competencies, creating the module, and validating it with Chemistry teachers, master teachers, and Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) personnel. Validations covered objectives, concepts, directions, formats and layouts, animations, skills, usability, and adequacy. Pre-tests and post-tests were also administered to Special Science 9 students. Results showed that the least mastered competency was “Describe and identify the characteristics of macromolecules,” with a mean score of 25.05 (57.69%). During validation, the electronic module received an overall mean score of 4.78, indicating it was highly valid across all evaluation criteria. Additionally, both control and experimental groups showed significant post-test score improvements, with the experimental group exhibiting a higher mean gain score. This study suggests that the Chemistry-based electronic module significantly strengthens student understanding and engagement in Chemistry, providing a viable solution to challenges in science education.

The current article explores the contribution of Morocco’s National Initiative for Human Development (NIHD) to women’s economic empowerment and integration in society through the art of cooking. With targeting Lalla Moulati, it is a pastry-specialized institution which works under the supervision of the NIHD. This means that they share a common objective. Simply put, Lalla Moulati aims at encouraging women to take part in the job market and become financially independent rather than remaining a dependent burden who needs to be taken care of. In this regard, this article targets unveiling the multifaceted impact of such initiatives on women’s personal, societal and economic status. Using the qualitative approach solely, this study provides a detailed examination on how this institution’s plans and accomplishments align with the objectives of the NIHD. Using interviews, this article aims at examining the extent to which Lalla Moulati plays a pivotal role in not only changing women’s lives, but also challenging the traditional mindset that bounds women to specific gender roles. By examining the experiences of women in the domain of pastries through this institution, this research highlights the major role of vocational training in the advancement of women’s socio-economic position in Moroccan society.
Nasıl Bir Kriz?: Üçüncü Yüzyıl Krizine Yeni Bir Bakış
Authors: Güney Emre Mirza
Published: December 2024

Üçüncü Yüzyıl Krizi, Roma İmparatorluğu Tarihi’nde incelenmeye en açık olan konulardan biridir. Bunun en önemli nedenlerinden biri bu döneme “kriz” tanımlaması ile yaklaşılmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Modern araştırmacılar, dönemin kriz çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi hususunda farklı görüşler öne sürmüşler ve bu süreci farklı dayanaklarla açıklamaya çalışmışlardır. Böylece kriz süreci farklı görüş ve önerilerle gelişim göstermiştir. Dönemin kriz olarak tanımlanması, krizin ölçütü ve etkisi bakımından incelenmesi, imparatorluğun dönüşüm süreci bakımından elzem olmuştur. Zira imparatorluğun geniş sınırları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, kriz sürecinin gelişimi farklılıklar göstermiştir. Bu farklılıklar, kriz sürecinin başlangıcının dayandığı noktalar, krizin etkileri ve bu etkilerin eyaletler üzerinde yarattığı farklı sonuçlardan oluşmaktadır. Kriz sürecinin başlangıç tarihlerinin farklı yıllar çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi ve sebep ve sonuçlarının farklı hususlara dayandırılması da kriz sürecinin iç yapısının eyaletler için aynı olmamasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Birbirinden farklı görüşlerin öne sürülmesi sonucunda kriz, dönüşüm veya değişim gibi tanımlarla da değerlendirilmiştir. Diğer yandan her ne kadar kriz süreci farklı değerlendirmelerle incelense de bu sürecin, imparatorluk genelinde pek çok sorunu kapsadığı ortak kabul noktasıdır. Zira bu dönemde imparatorluk siyasi, sosyal, ekonomik ve idari açıdan pek çok problemle yüzleşmiştir. Kriz tanımlamasının ön plana çıkması da bu sorunların eş zamanlı olarak ve uzun süre boyunca devam etmesi sebebiyle olmuştur. Bunların yanı sıra sorunların her bir eyalette aynı etki dahilinde gelişim gösterdiğini söylemek yanlış olur. Bu nedenden kaynaklı olarak modern tarihçiler, kriz sürecinde eyaletlerin her birini birbirinden bağımsız bir biçimde incelemenin doğru olduğu kanısındadır. Tüm bu hususlar göz önüne alındığında Roma İmparatorluğu’nun üçüncü yüzyılı, değerlendirmeye açık bir dönem olarak nitelenebilir. Bu görüşlerin etraflıca incelenmesi ise Roma Tarihi’nin anlaşılabilmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır.
Perception of verb forms ending in -me instead of -m in 1st person plural, present tense by the contemporary Bulgarians
Authors:   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Aleksova Krasimira
Published: December 2024

In the present study, I comment on the results of 3 surveys – 1 nationally representative and 2 non-representative. The main goal is to study the perception of forms for 1st person, plural, present and future tense, 1st and 2nd conjugations ending in -me instead of -m. Three perceptual styles are used: a list of 3-4 words, a simple sentence, a short text. The hypotheses are tested that muttering is more often not recognized as an error, that it leads to positive evaluations of the speaker’s personal and social characteristics, that the degree of recognizability of muttering depends on the perceptual style and socio-demographic characteristics of the speaker.

The year 2024 marks twenty years since Czechia joined the EU. This anniversary offers an opportunity
to evaluate the benefits and losses associated with the membership, and a sufficiently long time series allows such an evaluation to be made on representative data sets. Among others, the evaluation of the membership based on drawing financial funds from the EU budget stands out. Since joining the EU in 2004, the Czech Republic has received one trillion crowns more from the EU budget than it has paid into it. At the same time, in no year since 2004 the balance of income and expenditure in relation to the EU budget has been negative. This article describes basic principles of the EU funds and deals with accrual recording in national accounts and the cash flow concept. In the context of 20 years of EU membership, it then evaluates the net position of Czechia in relation to the EU and the influence of income from the EU on the revenue of general government.

The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a massive economic policy response in all developed countries. There were various approaches that governments adopted with a variety of possible aims and outcomes. In our research we focus on estimating the effects of Covid-19 on the Czech Republic, a small open economy, which was typical in that it had high mortality, a long lockdown and a focus on job preservation. Using three different methods – input-output, CGE and ADL, we estimate the industry-level impact of the pandemic, taking induced effects into account. We show that, besides industries that were explicitly harmed like accommodation or transportation, some industries like construction seem to be implicitly vulnerable as well. This is an important finding especially for any future policy responses. Regarding the economic policy itself, we conclude that it was successful in terms of preserving jobs, but the expenditures were probably too high to call it an efficient policy response.

In metal cutting and blanking processes, one of the primary technological challenges is the formation of burrs on the surfaces of cut parts, especially in thin materials. Many companies face the issue of excessive waste due to burr formation after cutting. Understanding the causes of this defect is complex. This paper presents the current state of knowledge and the authors' research on reducing burr occurrence on cut surfaces. The conditions for achieving a high-quality cut edge were determined through numerical and experimental studies. With the increase of the rake angle in shear-slitting, the burr height decreases. When cutting with trimming, the cutting clearance value should be within hc = 1-3% of the material thickness. When blanking, the cutting clearance should be less than 10% of the thickness of the material being cut. The findings support selecting optimal process conditions to minimise waste after cutting.

Published: December 2024

Analysis variations in the intensity of vectors estimating indoor air pollution (PM2.5, PM10 and CO2) and noise levels are presented. The research was conducted in an office room during COVID-19. The theory of covariance functions was used to analyse changes in the intensity of the vectors of determined parameters. The estimates of the cross-covariance functions of digital vectors and the autocovariance functions of the individual vectors of air pollution and noise recording sensor parameters were calculated in line with the random functions of data arrays measuring the vectors of air pollution sensor parameters. The approximations of covariance functions were calculated by changing the quantisation interval on a time scale and applying software created based on the Matlab procedure package. The stochastic interdependence of the vectors of air pollution and noise level recording sensor parameters and variations in vectors on the time scale was established.

In the educational process it is necessary to take into account the fact that each science operates with its special concepts, judgments and specific thinking. Nowadays it is physical and mathematical research methods that penetrate into all branches of science, so the issue of arming the younger generation with deep knowledge and research methods in physics and mathematics is becoming more acute. For this purpose, creative groups in specific subjects, particularly in physics, can be organized within university career guidance activities, provided that high students are interested in engineering and research problems. Classes in such groups allow the students to enrich the horizons, develop inquisitiveness, instill the skills of independent observation and facilitate deeper understanding of certain topics of the school curriculum course stimulate cognitive activities of the future university applicants. The aim of the article is to consider the methods of problem-based learning to solve physics problems which will ensure positive outcome of forming physics problem-solving skills of students with different levels of academic training. Short linear training programs on various topics consisting of several thematic problems arranged in order of complexity are referred to such methods by the authors. The approach presupposes dividing problems into elementary actions in the form of instructions which represent the algorithm for solving the problems. Analysis of implementing these algorithms in teaching physics in preparatory courses shows a significant positive effect on students’ ability of solving physics problems. It is confirmed by the results of the measurements, which were taken at Nizhnekamsk Institute of Chemistry and Technology for many years when preparing students of various schools for physics exams at the beginning and at the end of learning, and by comparing the results of the preparatory courses with the average results of several schools in several topics. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact that the findings are a contribution to the development of theory and methods of teaching solving physics problems, to the development of recommendations on implementing linear programs with elements of problem-based learning in the form of finding algorithms of solving physics problems. The practical significance of the research results is determined by the possibility of using them in preparing schoolchildren for the Unified State Exam in physics.
