Zastosowanie współczynnika konkordancji w pomiarze zgodności ocen ekspertów
Authors: Cabała Paweł
Published: January 2024

In this article the problem of the measurement of agreement among experts is discussed. There are several tools to verify whether opinions expressed by an ordinal scale are reliable. If the objects are ranked, one of correlation coefficients is chosen. At the beginning, the case of m > 2 experts ranking n objects is presented; first, using untied ranks and second, tied ranks. To this end Kendall’s coefficient of concordance is applied. The method of examination of the statistical significance is also presented. Additionally the issue of the interpretation of the concordance coefficient in reference to the average of Spearman’s r coefficients is raised. The paper provides an example of using concordance coefficient when ranks are tied and discusses limitations of using rank correlation methods as a tool for evaluating the degree of agreement among experts’ opinions.

PRECURSOR-BASED EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION: WISHFUL THINKING OR REAL POSSIBILITY?
Authors:   Institute of Geodynamics “Sabba S. Ștefănescu”, Romanian Academy, Bucharest, SZAKÁCS ALEXANDRU , RADULIAN MIRCEA ,   National Institute for Earth Physics (NIEP), Bucharest
Published: January 2024

Scientists attitude towards the delicate precursor-based earthquake prediction subject was widely oscillating during the last half century, from optimism to deep pessimism according to milestone seismic events, claims of successful predictions and published expert debate results. Despite the current official/mainstream opinion according to which the precursor-based earthquake prediction is impossible in principle, new ideas and claimed positive results emerged in the last few decades allowing potentially paradigm-shifting new research strategies to be envisaged and followed. Such a strategy is proposed here based on the principles of 1) coupled and interacting geospheres, 2) uniqueness of the seismic structures, hence of their precursory fingerprints, and 3) non-equivalence of Earth surface measuring sites from the perspective of signal-reception capability. Such a strategy aims at discovering the particular precursory fingerprint of individual seismogenic structures instead of looking for universally valid precursory signals. The precursory fingerprint of a particular seismogenic structure is the assemblage of a number of pre-seismic signals of physical, chemical and biological nature detectable in advance of impending large-magnitude earthquakes using a matrix of high-accuracy sensors emplaced at pre-selected “sensitive” locations at Earth surface and on Earth-orbiting satellites. It has a pattern component (configuration of the above-threshold values of the monitored parameters) and a time component (sequence, succession and lead time of emergence of the anomalous signal parameters). Due to its complex nature, the assemblage of detected precursory signals has to be processed and evaluated by pattern recognition algorithms of Artificial Intelligence systems and validated by human experts before final conclusions to be drawn. Due to its particular setting in Europe’s geodynamically most active area, and its long-known seismic history including recurrent high-magnitude destructive events, the Vrancea seismic nest in Romania appears as an excellent experimental target for the implementation of a novel, concept-based long-term research strategy in the field of earthquake prediction.

Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are among the rarest metals in the world and are also considered as critical metals/minerals. Their economically important occurrences are limited to orthomagmatic deposits, porphyry-type hydrothermal deposits, alluvial accumulations (placers), and residual-type deposits. In Romania, Pt was firstly mentioned in 1853 by Karl Zerrenner in the alluvial deposits from Pianu, Sebeș Mts., and later, in 1855, by Michael Johann Ackner. Other occurrences in which ptatinum and PGEs were reported are Vâlsan Valley (Făgăraș Mts.), associated with metamorphosed basic rocks, and Southern Banat (Tișovița-Iuți area), associated with serpentinised ultrabasic rocks. Moreover, a platinum mineral, namely sperrylite, was mentioned in 1966 by Rădulescu and Dimtrescu in Holbav area (Făgăraș Mts.), associated with ultrabasic rocks bodies within the metamorphic sequences. The presence of Pt and PGEs in the mineralizations from Romania has been mostly qualitatively highlighted until now. Further investigations will allow to enlarge the knowledge about the presence of PGEs at a qualitative level and eventually in other occurrences. Further investigations will allow us to expand the knowledge about the qualitative presence of PGEs and eventually in other occurrences in Romania.

The article explores the pragmatic and stylistic characteristics of the dialogic sequences in online comments posted on the Romanian news website Hotnews. In our opinion, this type of texts combines the characteristics of chats with those of face-to-face conversation in an attempt to adjust language to a new situational context and to a new medium of writing. The result is a more creative form of communication with less personal involvement and less expressive potential but with more social attractiveness.

The article focuses on examining the discourse marker păi frequently used in the regional varieties of Romanian, and the analysis is based on a corpus of dialect texts. We followed the theoretical models proposed by Jucker (1997), Heritage and Sorjonen (2018), and Crible and Degand (2019). Depending on its position (pre-clausal or clause-internal in turn-initial, turn-internal or turn-final) the main functions of păi are: (a) to signal the answer, and (b) to mark the transition between narrative episodes. There are several values grouped under each function, depending on the speaker’s attitude and his/her epistemic/affective stance.
Oare – particulă epistemico-evidențială și/sau modificator de forță ilocuționară?
Authors:   Universitatea din Craiova cecilia.popescu@edu.ucv.ro, POPESCU CECILIA MIHAELA
Published: January 2024

The morphosyntactic status and the semantic value of the lexeme oare in present-day Romanian continue to raise questions. The few existing studies in Romanian and foreign linguistic literature have emphasized its mobility and discursive polyfunctionality, and analyzed it as an epistemic modal adverb expressing uncertainty or doubt (see GR 2013: 583), as an additional marker/particle of questions, as speech acts (GALR 2008, II: 714‒715) or as a formative in the structure of indefinite pronouns and adverbs oarecare, oarecine, oarece, oarecum ”certain, somehow, etc.”, with the meaning of ”free choice” (Dinică 2012: 154). Our contribution proposes an integrative functional analysis (i.e. pragmadiscursive) of oare which emphasizes that it operates at different communicative levels, with fuzzy boundaries between its modal epistemic and/or evidential values and its uses as an illocutionary force modifier. Our hypothesis is that in present-day Romanian, oare is a discursive particle functioning as an illocutionary force modifier with an epistemic-evidential and/or mirative meaning, which displays various contextual values.

This case study focuses on the linguistic strategies used by native Romanian speakers to express apologies. The study evaluates the responses of 100 undergraduate students between 2018 and 2020 using a Discourse Completion Test. The analysis reveals that Romanian speakers employ direct apologies with different politeness levels, whereas indirect apologies have multifaceted intentions and effects. In cases of serious transgressions, Romanian speakers use a variety of techniques to restore social balance, emphasizing accountability and ownership. The study also emphasizes the interaction between direct and indirect apology forms, context-dependent language use, and the importance of accountability in Romanian apologies.
O moștenire a lui Edmund Husserl: fenomenologia non-simbolică
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie „George Barițiu” din Cluj-Napoca, Academia Română, Filiala Cluj, Isac Ionuț-Constantin
Published: January 2024

Husserl’s posterity has reconsidered the phenomenological topic, exploring directions and consequences barely outlined by its founder. Scholars such as E. Straus, M. Merleau-Ponty, H. Maldiney, J. Garelli, M. Richir, and others reshaped Husserl’s genuine phenomenology by giving up the Husserlian ideal of founding phenomenology as a “rigorous science”. Contrary to this, they underscored in their writings a new layer of reality: that of an “archaic” world preceding the symbolic one (in the sense of Husserl and Lacan). E. Straus made his debut with the pioneering work Du sens des sens (1935), where he advanced the project of a phenomenological psychology and introduced a distinction between symbolic and non-symbolic phenomenology. This research direction would be established by M. Richir, whose writings marked a significant “turn” in contemporary phenomenology. The present paper delves into the coordinates of this new line of thinking, wherein pre-ontologic or pre-reflexive essences show themselves as having a higher degree of freedom compared to classic predicative ones (as seen, for instance, in the venerable tradition from Plato to Hegel). Especially through a rethinking of Kant’s criticism, non-symbolic phenomenology advances the phenomenological unconscious with its exceptional creative spontaneity, materialized, for instance, in works of art. As the creative activity of the phenomenological unconscious emerges to pave the way towards the new, not only in art, we take the opportunity to highlight the professional and noteworthy contributions of some young Romanian academics. In the end, we conclude by offering critical remarks on several unclear aspects revealed by the problematic meeting point between the symbolic and the phenomenological, aspects that previous exegetes have overlooked until now.

Authors: Sakapaji Stephen Chitengi , Puthenkalam John Joseph
Published: January 2024

Climate change is presenting a formidable challenge to global agriculture, with rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and increasing extreme weather events threatening food production and sustainability. In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is emerging as a critical tool for mitigating the impacts of climate change and ensuring agriculture resilience and sustainability on a global scale. Utilizing a desktop research methodology this paper explores the opportunities and challenges associated with AI technology in addressing climate-induced agricultural challenges. The findings of this paper indicate that despite AI technology holding great promise for advancing agriculture sustainability through precision farming, data-driven decision-making, crop monitoring, weather forecasting, labor efficiency, and supply chain optimization it faces challenges, particularly in regions with limited access to technology, such as the global south and that bridging the digital divide and addressing financial constraints are crucial steps in ensuring equitable access to AI solutions. Additionally, data privacy and security concerns must be addressed to build trust in AI systems. Ethical considerations, such as algorithmic bias, must be carefully managed to avoid exacerbating existing inequalities. The paper concludes that AI technology offers promising solutions to the agricultural challenges posed by climate change and that while there are challenges to overcome, the urgency of adopting AI in agriculture cannot be overstated. The paper furthermore indicates that the intersection of AI and agriculture holds the key to building climate resilience, optimizing resource usage, and fostering sustainability in global food production.

Assessing the productivity of Serbian manufacturing industry with Malmquist DEA indices
Authors: Nikolić Ivan , Miljković Marko
Published: January 2024

The subject of this paper is the productivity of the manufacturing industry of Serbia. The analysis was conducted on data for 85 manufacturing groups of Serbian industry during the period 2012-2022. Changes in total factor productivity, as well as the decomposition of these changes into technological changes and innovations on the one hand, and efficiency changes on the other, were estimated using Malmquist indices calculated by DEA program. The introduction offers a brief overview of the macroeconomic context in which industrial production takes place. The second chapter is devoted to the methodology and the presentation of the data used. In the third part of the paper, the results of the research are presented. The total factor productivity of the manufacturing industry grew at a low average rate of about 0.5% annually. The manufacturing industry lacks continuity of growth, with no more than two years of consecutive productivity growth recorded. The best results were achieved in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products, electrical equipment and other transport equipment. Productivity growth in these divisions is rather the result of efficiency improvements than technological changes, i.e. innovations. The biggest decline was achieved in the manufacture of basic iron and steel.

Authors: Ognjanović Jasmina
Published: January 2024

Innovations are key drivers of the growth and development of small and medium-sized enterprises. The development of innovations is monitored through the achieved innovative performances, on the basis of which the future directions of the development of innovations are defined and the perceived obstacles to their development are removed. The aim of the paper is to identify the level of innovative performance of Serbia, as well as the positioning of Serbia in comparison with the innovation results of the countries of the European Union (EU). The paper analyzes the innovative performances of Serbia and EU countries: innovation index and three indicators of innovative activities (product innovations, business process innovations, and indicators of innovative SMEs collaborating with others). By applying the comparative method the position of Serbia towards the EU was identified. The results show that the innovation index of Serbia follows the trend of this index in the EU. Serbia does not lag behind the results of the EU regarding the performance of innovative activities. Serbia achieves good results in the area of business process innovation and product innovation, while in the case of indicators of innovative SMEs cooperating with others, it achieves worse results compared to the EU.

Authors: Erić-Nielsen Jelena , Nikolić Jelena , Dukanac Milica
Published: January 2024

The innovativeness of the employees is a prerequisite for the development of new products, as well as maintaining and improving the market competitive position. The innovativeness of employees depends on numerous factors, some of which are internal, operating under control and jurisdiction of management. The research topic in this paper are internal organizational factors: technological equipment, availability of financial resources, culture and compensation system, as well as formal aspects of innovation. The main research goal is to show that these factors have a significant and uneven influence on the innovativeness of employees in organizations. Empirical research was conducted on a sample of 81 respondents employed in companies in the Republic of Serbia. The research results indicate that culture and the compensation system have the highest degree of influence on the innovativeness of employees, in relation to the four observed variables, but other interesting relationships were discovered, as well. They are described and explained through discussion, aiming to connect theoretical concepts and practical results. At the end of the paper, adequate conclusions were drawn and guidelines for future research provided.
Metaphysics of the Virtual: From Plato's Cave to modern VR: Questioning reality's essence
Authors: Baltezarević Borivoje
Published: January 2024

Virtual Reality (VR) technology and its metaphysical implications pose critical questions concerning the nature of reality, a conundrum that has enthralled thinkers since Plato's epoch. Plato's allegory of the cave emphasized the world of forms over the shadowy illusions, emphasizing a layered reality. Contemporary VR challenges this stratification, bringing forth constructed realities that overlap, enhance, or even replace tangible experiences. Drawing upon a plethora of scholarly articles, this essay examines VR's metaphysical dimensions, juxtaposing ancient philosophical delineations of reality against the transformative implications of VR technologies.
Phenomenology of the spatial cultural-historical unit: The example of the area around Dositej's Lyceum in Belgrade
Authors: Mrlješ Rade , Ciganović Aleksa
Published: January 2024

This paper analyzes the phenomenological perspectives of the socio-cultural understanding of urban heritage, which is normatively determined according to the type of spatial cultural-historical unit. Proceeding from the assumption that the spatial cultural-historical unit of the area around Dositej's Lyceum in Belgrade can be understood as a museumized space, its complexities will be considered through Focault's theoretical perspective of heterotopia, while its circumstance of socio-cultural semi-peripherality will be considered in regard to the concept of social production of space espoused by French urban sociologist Henri Lefebvre. It is concluded that the complexity of the values and properties of the urban heritage area - semantically determined by Dositej's Lyceum - offers deeper critical modalities of reflection that not only contribute to the clarification of the functional characteristics of the normative and institutional role of this basic instrument for the protection of spatial complexity, i.e. that conceptually denoted as the spatial cultural-historical unit, but, on a specific spatial example, they reveal the breadth of possibilities of synchronic and diachronic perspectives that such instruments - almost as a rule - always contain or acquire throughout their applicational histories.
Teacher's attachment and mentalization as the predictors of classroom management styles
Authors: Nikolić-Vesković Danica
Published: January 2024

The aim of this study is to examine whether a tendency towards a certain style of classroom management can be predicted based on teacher's attachment and mentalization, as well as whether training in the field of classroom management modifies the relationship between the predictor and criterion variables. The research included 100 1st-4th grade primary school teachers, 86 female and 14 male, aged from 28 to 64, and with 1 to 39 years of teaching experience. The data were collected using the following instruments: The Inventory for teachers' self-assessment in classroom management styles, ITSCMS; the Experience in close relationships questionnaire, the modified and adapted Serbian version, SM-ECR-R and the The Mentalization Scale (MentS). The results show that anxiety and mentalization of self-contribute to the tendency towards the non-interventionist and interventionist styles of classroom management, while the mentalization of others and number of trainings in the field of classroom management contribute to the tendency towards the interactionist style of classroom management. The moderating effect of the number of trainings on the relationship between the mentalization of others and the interactionist style of class management was also found.

Financial inclusion and inflation in Southeast European countries
Authors: Kokorović-Jukan Meldina , Kozarević Emira , Zukić Vesna
Published: January 2024

Background: As a complex socio-economic concept, financial inclusion is related to the improvement of access and use of formal financial products and services (such as bank deposits, loans, insurance, etc.) by all participants in the financial system. More inclusive financial systems contribute to poverty reduction, decrease in inequalities among different income groups leading to economic growth, and economies more resilient towards macroeconomic shocks. Purpose: This paper aims to assess the relationship between financial inclusion and inflation in Southeast European countries, focusing on Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia, and Turkey in the period from 2011 to 2021. Study design/methodology/approach: The financial inclusion index was constructed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The connection between the financial inclusion index and inflation was investigated using panel regression modeling (OLS, fixed-effect, and random-effect models). Findings/Conclusions: The research showed that countries with higher levels of financial inclusion are more resilient to inflation. This finding is consistent with other research implying that policymakers and other stakeholders within a financial system should contribute to promoting financial inclusion and building more inclusive financial systems. Limitations/future research: The main limitation of the research is related to data availability for multidimensional index construction. Future research should be directed to providing a better understanding of whether the relationship between financial inclusion and inflation is under the influence of other monetary policy instruments, such as interest rates.
The preliminary data on the spider fauna of Belgrade river islands
Authors: Dudić Boris , Žarković Luka , Ilić Bojan , Tomić Vladimir
Published: January 2024

This paper presents preliminary data on the spider fauna in the higher vegetation layers of four Belgrade river islands (adas) -Ada Ciganlija, Ada Međica, Veliko Ratno Ostrvo and Ada Huja. Most species belong to the families Araneidae and Thomisi-dae (7), followed by families Theridiidae (5), Salticidae (4), Linyphiidae (3), Tetraghnathidae (3), Philodromidae (2), Agelenidae (1), Oxyopidae (1), Pisauridae (1) and Uloboriade (1). The majority of collected individ-uals come from the Tetraghnathidae family. The PEN-insular river islands proved to be richer in terms of the number of recorded species and collected individuals than the true river islands. The observed anthropo-genic impact, present to a greater or lesser extent on all four Belgrade ada's, might have a negative impact on the spider fauna, which should be the subject of future research.

In addition to the course, an expert visit aimed at research on the green construction was also carried out. This included an analysis of the state of the environment and sustainable development, which is based on the conservation, improvement and protection of natural and created values, all with the aim of improving the green economy and reducing the impact of climate change. Singapore, or officially the Republic of Singapore, is an island city-state in Southeast Asia. The territory of the state of Singapore consists of 63 islands, including the main island of Singapore. The southern part of Singapore, an area surrounding the mouth of Singapore River and the nowadays city's business center, used to be the only inhabited urban area, while the rest of the island was either undeveloped tropical rain forest or it was used for agriculture. According to the Köppen climate classification system, Singapore has a tropical climate with no difference in seasons. Its climate is characterized by the same temperature and pressure, high air humidity, and abundant rains. This paper also provides photographs taken during the stay in this is-land city-state.

With the development of information technology, the Internet, and social networks, the amount of collected data is growing year by year at a high rate. Data processing and analysis becomes a necessity without which quality decisions cannot be made. Education, as an important social segment, must follow global changes and provide an adequate response to new social needs. International tests have shown that students from Serbia have problems with processing and analyzing data as well as applying mathematical knowledge in modeling real-life situations. In this paper, an innovative approach to teaching mathematics based on data analytics will be presented. The goal of the paper is to show the possibility of using data analytics techniques in the teaching process. A teaching model using data analytics will be presented, as well as a complete preparation for the realization of a mathematics class. By building a mathematical model using data analytics, students will gain new knowledge in the field of financial mathematics. The possibility of using data analytics in the implementation of other teaching units in mathematics, as well as in the teaching of other subjects, will be presented.
AI-translated poetry: Ivan Franko's poems in GPT-3.5-driven machine and human-produced translations
Authors: Karaban Viacheslav , Karaban Anna
Published: January 2024

The article presents a detailed comparative analysis of translations of twelve great Ukrainian poet Ivan Franko's poems done by translator Percival Cundy and the GPT-3.5 AI language model. Using various manual and automatic analytical research methods and techniques, we analyzed the translations' merits, demerits, and eight essential qualitative and quantitative linguistic and poetic characteristics to verify a hypothesis that human and GPT-3.5-driven machine translations can be quite comparable in terms of their quality and poetic features. The results obtained sufficiently prove the hypothesis and suggest that developing AI translation potential for poetry translation can help build more capable, diversified, and nuanced large language models. The AI revolutionary breakthrough in translation makes it quite possible to acquaint satisfactorily the wider public with the poetic heritage of the world's nations, especially those using minor languages, whose poetry is evidently under-translated. A follow-up study is desirable to assess the progress made by GPT4.0 and its possible later versions in poetry translation, as compared with GPT-3.5.
