SZTUCZNA INTELIGENCJA JAKO NARZĘDZIE DO WALKI Z DEZINFORMACJĄ
Authors: Wróblewski Tomasz
Published: July 2024

Dezinformacja, czyli świadome rozpowszechnianie nieprawdziwych informacji, stwarza poważne zagrożenie dla demokracji, stabilności społecznej i bezpieczeństwa państwa. Sztuczna inteligencja (AI) odgrywa tu kluczową rolę, umożliwiając tworzenie realistycznych, ale fałszywych treści, co prowadzi do manipulowania opinią publiczną na niespotykaną dotąd skalę. Rozwój Internetu i mediów społecznościowych znacząco przyspieszył rozprzestrzenia-nie się dezinformacji, co negatywnie wpływa na wyniki wyborów, zaufanie do instytucji publicznych i zwiększa konflikty społeczne. Chociaż dezinformacja była używana jako na-rzędzie propagandy od starożytności, współczesne technologie uczyniły ją bardziej powszechną i trudniejszą do kontrolowania. Tworzenie deepfake'ów i fałszywych nagrań stało się dostępne nawet dla osób bez zaawansowanej wiedzy technicznej. AI oferuje również narzędzia do zwalczania dezinformacji, umożliwiając skuteczne rozpoznawanie i neutralizowanie fałszywych treści poprzez analizę charakterystycznych wzorców. Algorytmy uczenia maszynowego są zdolne do przetwarzania ogromnych ilości danych i precyzyjnego identyfikowania dezinformacji, co pozwala na bardziej wszechstronne i efektywne zwalczanie fałszywych informacji oraz ochronę integralności demokratycznych społeczeństw.
PRZESTĘPCZOŚĆ NA SZKODĘ OBROTU GOSPODARCZEGO I JEJ ZWALCZANIE PRZEZ POLICJĘ – ASPEKTY PRAWNO-KRYMINALISTYCZNE
Authors: Gąsiorowski Jerzy
Published: July 2024

Przestępczość gospodarcza dotyka niemal wszystkich sfer życia społecznego i gospodarczego, i jak dowodzi praktyka, jest zjawiskiem złożonym, wokół której koncentrują się wszystkie istotne problemy współczesnej przestępczości. Szczególną formą przestępczości gospodarczej jest przestępczość na szkodę obrotu gospodarczego, charakteryzująca się licznymi i zróżnicowanymi formami postępowania sprawców, stwarzając zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego państwa poprzez zakłócanie prawidłowego funkcjonowania wymiany towarów. Centralne miejsce w tym obszarze zagrożeń zajmuje sprawca „w białym kołnierzyku”, działający w strukturze „złotej przestępczości”, który motywowany chęcią osiągnięcia zysku, w ramach swojego indywidualnego „modus operandi” dokonuje przestępstw gospodarczych w cywilno-prawnej sferze obrotu gospodarczego, przy współudziale przestępstw im towarzyszących, jak np. tradycyjnych i narkotykowych, często o zorganizowanym charakterze, przy wykorzystaniu prostych, ale i wyrafinowanych intelektualnie metod, form i środków. W zależności od kategorii przestępcy, w jego zainteresowaniu (zależnym często od wykształcenia i zajmowanej pozycji społecznej) oraz sposobie dokonywania przestępstwa itd., dostrzec można szereg zależności, jak i rozbieżności, które przyczynić się mogą do ukierunkowania podejmowanych przez organy ścigania działań wykrywczych zmierzających do jego ustalenia i dowiedzenia mu winy. Dlatego też ustalenie istoty oraz stanu zagrożenia przestępczością na szkodę obrotu gospodarczego, jak też charakteryzujących sprawcę cech jest istotne, gdyż tylko takie dane są w stanie wspomóc proces wykrywczy, a zatem i przyczynić się do zminimalizowania negatywnych skutków tej złożonej w swej strukturze przestępczości.

Current Trends in Human Trafficking and the Effectiveness of Law Enforcement Strategies in Combating Sex Trafficking in Thailand
Authors: Thammasiri Kanchana
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the current state of sex trafficking in Thailand, focusing on recent trends, law enforcement strategies, and challenges faced in combating this pervasive issue. Thailand has established a comprehensive legal framework to address human trafficking, including significant legislation and international commitments. Law enforcement employs a range of strategies, including surveillance, undercover operations, and inter-agency collaboration, to dismantle trafficking networks and support victims. However, challenges such as corruption, resource limitations, and the complexity of trafficking networks hinder these efforts. The paper also provides recommendations for improving law enforcement capabilities, victim support, legal frameworks, international cooperation, and the use of technology to enhance anti-trafficking measures. By addressing these areas, Thailand can strengthen its fight against sex trafficking and provide better protection for vulnerable individuals.

Authors: Ülger Abdurrahman Berke , Dağ Oben
Published: July 2024

Günümüzde enerji tüketiminin artması, enerji piyasasındaki serbestlik ve teknolojinin gelişmesi yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına sahip dağıtık üretim kaynaklarının artışına sebep olmaktadır. Mikroşebekeler (MG), bu enerji ortamında yerel ve merkezi olmayan enerji üretimini, büyük ve merkezi bir şebekeye bağlanmasını sağlamaktadır. Rüzgar türbinleri ve fotovoltaik sistemler gibi yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları, enerji üretim birimleri olarak kullanıldığında, MG’lerin geleneksel güç sistemlerinde güvenilir çalışması büyük bir endişeye sebep olmaktadır. Tüketicileri besleyen gerilimin yüksek kalitesi ve frekans kararlılığının güvencesi, MG’lerin optimum şekilde çalışması için birinci derece bir taleptir. Bu durum hem dağıtım şebekesi operatörleri hem de son tüketiciler için kalıcı bir endişe kaynağıdır. Üretilen gücün talep edilen güce eşit olmaması, her MG sektörünün sorunudur. Gerilim ve frekans kontrolü, üretilen veya tüketilen aktif ve reaktif güçleri ayarlayarak hem gerilimin hem de frekansın ayar noktası değerleri etrafında önceden belirlenen sınırlar içinde kalmasını sağlamaktır. MG’lerin kararlı gerilim ve frekans değerler ile çalıştırlması ve güç kalitesinin normlara uygun olması temel gereksinimlerdendir. Bu normların sağlanması için, MG’lerde gerilim ve frekans kontrolü önem arz etmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı MG sistemin şebeke kaynaklı gerilim düşüşlerinin ve yükselişlerinin, adalanma sırasında meydana getirdiği sinyalizasyon hatalarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Ayrıca MG’lerde bulunan enerji depolama sistemlerinin kararlılık üzerine etkileri de incelenmektedir. Tüm benzetimler MATLAB/SIMULINK ortamında yapılmıştır.
Body Self-Esteem and Sexual Satisfaction in Chilean Adults: Implications for Comprehensive Sexual Education
Authors: Quintana Gonzalo R. , Tapia Natalia , Ávila Constanza , Araya Katherine
Published: July 2024

Sex education is a complex and often controversial issue, and in Chile, this is no exception. The country's progress towards a curriculum that extends beyond public health-related sex topics has experienced ups and downs, resulting in the current lack of a comprehensive program. Comprehensive sexual education (CSE) programs typically include topics known to have a positive effect on individuals' overall sexual health, such as body self-esteem. The effectiveness of these programs can be measured through individuals' sexual satisfaction. Given the limited national evidence on this subject, the objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between body self-esteem and sexual satisfaction in Chilean adults, considering various socio-demographic variables. The sample consisted of 203 cisgender individuals who completed body self-esteem and sexual satisfaction scales. The results indicated a positive relationship between body self-esteem and sexual satisfaction. Using multiple regression, it was found that body self-esteem explained 17% of sexual satisfaction variability. These findings underscore the importance of sex education and its impact on individuals' sexual well-being.
The Impact of Firm-level Characteristics on Stock Abnormal Returns amid Crises in Egypt versus the United States
Authors: Pasha Rania , Ashraf Wahba Mariam
Published: July 2024

This paper conducts a comparative analysis on the variability of firm-level abnormal returns in Egypt and the United States (US) amidst three different recent global hazardous events (political, economic, and health). Moreover, it determines the impact of firm-level characteristics in reducing firms’ abnormal returns and identifies the most vulnerable industries during crises in both countries. The paper methodology is conducted in two stages on the selected sample for US and Egypt stock markets, DJIA and EGX30 indices, respectively. The first stage is an event study approach to determine the amplitude and direction of the response of the US and Egypt abnormal returns to each of the studied crises. The second stage encompasses cross-sectional regressions to study the impact of firm-level characteristics and vulnerable industries on the highest significant abnormal stock returns for each event in each country. This study has theoretical and practical contributions. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the higher abnormal stock returns of the developing stock market, Egypt, compared to the developed stock market, US, in both health and economic crises under all different time intervals except the examined political crisis. Moreover, emerging and developed countries’ businesses should provide attentive management of this study’s significant firm-level characteristics to strengthen firms’ exogenous shock absorbency. Furthermore, this study’s identification of the most vulnerable industries in each market paves the way for developing supportive policies for these industries resulting in healthier and safer financial markets amidst crises. Keywords: Abnormal Returns, Stock Markets, Crises, Egypt, United States

Critical Thinking for Better Learning
Authors: Hamilton Carole
Published: July 2024

Critical Thinking for Better Learning shifts the focus from teaching to learning and from presenting information to creating challenges that teach students how to think in your discipline. The shift derives from three new insights from cognitive science: that we think by analogy, that we learn best when we process clear, focused sources and develop our own theories about our findings, and that there are key threshold concepts that define the discipline and make it attractive to young practitioners. This book explains each of these insights in direct, clear language, with examples of how to implement them in your own classroom.

School of Errors
Authors: Perrodin David P.
Published: July 2024

School of Errors establishes another voice in the discussion of how to promote safe schools. It challenges the unchecked expansion of school fortification and questions the realized benefit of inter-agency collaboration during a sentinel event. This book offers an alternative to traumatizing simulations by providing clear options for improving school safety by the empirically-proven effective measures of leakage detection (preventive) and sensemaking (reactive). School of Errors restores the scientific method to school safety and clears a path through the media rhetoric fogging this vital topic.
Unraveling Reform Rhetoric
Authors: Swensson Jeff , Ellis John , Shaffer Michael
Published: July 2024

Traditional public educators in the US have too little information about the free market of schooling, otherwise known as privatization/choice education. As a result, traditional public education colleagues have lost sight of where they are and how they got there. In this primer, educators, parents/caregivers, and policymakers are offered an examination of the forces and factors that undercut traditional public education and an inquiry into the primary purpose and quality instruction that distinguishes traditional public education from free market schooling.

Without knowing about the educational misdirection fostered by free market schooling, traditional public education in the US cannot invest in continuous improvement necessary to enrich the futures of all students and our nation’s democracy. The time has come for traditional public educators to study how we got out on a limb. This book explores the nature of free market schooling and discusses the information that traditional public educators need to muster a defense of purpose, quality, social justice, and how to think. Practical and theoretical insights throughout this book focus on professional practice in traditional public education as the means by which colleagues can assert excellence on behalf of all students while thwarting the negative impacts of free market schooling.
81 Questions for Parents
Authors: Amundson Kristen J.
Published: July 2024

As a former teacher, school board chair, and state legislator, Kristen J. Amundson has spent decades answering parents’ questions about school. 81 Questions for Parents: Helping Your Kids Succeed in School highlights the most important of these questions, covering a child’s school journey from preschool to postsecondary education. It includes some of the school secrets parents need to know—the often unwritten rules that can make a child’s K-12 experience the best it can be. Should you “redshirt” your kindergartener (and hold them out for a year)? How much parent help on homework is too much? And why could playing in the band be a secret to getting your child into a good college? And for parents who are struggling to teach their child at home, there are tips on how to do that while still keeping your sanity (and your own job). 81 Questions for Parents combines common sense, research, and a little humor to help parents support their child to get the best possible education.
Redefining Instructional Leadership
Authors: Jones John R. , Henry Misty
Published: July 2024

Redefining Instructional Leadership: The Skills and Energy Required of an Instructional Leader focuses on how principals must be instructional leaders by first making building relationships a priority. Then, with those relationships that are built, the leader will earn trust from their teachers, which will give them the influence they need to lead them to better levels of performance—and better performance leads to greater depths of student achievement.

Redefining Instructional Leadership goes beyond simply stating theory and summarizing research about what schools need from instructional leaders by emphasizing what instructional leaders should do and how to do it. This book explains the steps instructional leaders must learn and put into practice if their desire is to become a truly dynamic leader that will have a positive impact on teaching and learning.
From Conflict to Collaboration
Authors: Feirsen Robert , Weitzman Seth
Published: July 2024

Conflict is both a timely and a timeless challenge in schools, stymying school reform initiatives and elevating administrators’ job stress. If “school is a family,” as many claim, it is often a dysfunctional one. Relationships between and among staff, parents, community and school boards may be destructively divisive, or alternatively, schools may avoid addressing controversial issues like inequity, fearful of tensions that would be unleashed.

From Conflict to Collaboration: A School Leader’s Guide to Unleashing Conflict’s Problem Solving Power offers a novel perspective. Rather than impeding school reform, school leaders may harness conflict to spark organizational vitality and growth. Honoring diverse viewpoints enables savvy school leaders to engage stakeholders in meaningful collaboration that builds capacity, enshrines productive dialogue and group problem-solving as cornerstones of school culture, and energizes the school community.

Drawing on knowledge from the fields of education, engineering, psychology and business, the book offers an on-the-job guide for present and future school leaders. Dozens of actionable leadership strategies are highlighted; case studies illustrate key concepts; and probing questions for school leaders and school improvement teams follow each chapter. In a step-by-step process, the book demonstrates how the techniques of design thinking may be applied to build a school’s “conflict agility.”

How do school leaders build a collaborative, cohesive culture to ensure high quality learning for all students? This book provides a practical, succinct guide for educators on “how” the core elements of the accreditation process can unite a school in its transformative, continuous improvement journey. The authors explain “what is accreditation” and elaborate on using the core elements for schoolwide involvement and collaboration in determining the effectiveness of a school’s program and systems and the impact on student learning through a perpetual cycle of assessing, planning, implementing, monitoring and reassessing.

The authors clarify the “why” of accreditation and provide case studies of schools that have used accreditation as a coherent framework to build the capacity for change. The lessons learned from many educators embracing accreditation also provide further insights. Readers will deepen their understanding of how the accreditation process honors educators’ desire to be self-directed in their passion for learning and well-being for all students. They will understand how accreditation builds and strengthens the trust, engagement, ownership and dialogue among all, viewing the school as a professional learning community. Educational leaders will value the book for its realistic approach to connecting the dots of leadership, coherence, continuous improvement through accreditation.

The Learning Equation
Authors: Wentland Daniel
Published: July 2024

Maximizing the learning environment and focusing on the principles of learning are the most critical needs facing educational leaders of every rank. The Learning Equation: The Education Process and Effective Schools, Teachers, and Students develops a “learning equation” that depicts various learning situations based upon the effectiveness of the school environment and the degree to which students want to learn.

The book begins with a practical framework that provides educational leaders with a means of creating an environment that will maximize student learning. The second part of the book underscores important aspects of learning that will help both students and educational leaders. The information in the two parts of the book is captured by the development of ‘the learning equation’ which predicts student academic performance. The learning equation cuts through political and educational ideologies and focuses on reality. Ultimately, the learning equation highlights how student achievement can be finally improved.

Transgressing Teacher Education
Authors: Ginsberg Alice E.
Published: July 2024

This book is a series of original strategies that teacher educators, teacher candidates and practicing teachers can use to think critically about issues of equity, diversity, opportunity, and social justice in urban education. As the demographic of students in America is quickly becoming a “majority minority” we need teachers more than ever who can teach to diverse student populations, can utilize culturally relevant pedagogy, and have critically reflected on their own biases and stereotypes. We also need to empower teachers who are committed to social justice to navigate through school systems that are rife with structural inequities. This book will help ensure that teacher candidates are getting this preparation and able to continue to reflect on these issues in their practice. The book is designed as a “textbook” or more accurately “workbook” with original strategies and critical reflection and discussion questions included in each chapter. The strategies can be done sequentially or in any order. In addition, they will be able to read counternarratives from their peers, which should encourage them to persist in the profession even when things get rough
Knowing the Children We Teach
Authors: Littleton Danette , Sole Meryl
Published: July 2024

Knowing The Children We Teach places children at the center of music learning and teaching. What we understand about children determines how we teach them: the music learning environments we provide and decisions we make about music content and skills. Unexpressed, but no less meaningful, is the interdependent relationship between music teacher and children. Recent trends in music education emphasize what children should know about music more than what music educators need to know about children. This book offers insight into the innate traits of children such as goodness, kindness, needs, spirituality, playfulness and wonder. Each essay is supported through research and features data from music teacher-participants. When we engage children musically, we have opportunities to nurture children’s hearts, minds and spirits as well as our own.
Struggling with Substance Use
Authors: Lynch Deborah
Published: July 2024

Adolescent substance use is a serious—and potentially deadly—problem with many repercussions for the adolescent, the family, and society at large. It is also an issue that too few education professionals feel prepared to address even as they see it playing out in their schools and classrooms. Struggling with Substance Use: Supporting Students’ Social Emotional Learning presents evidence on the magnitude of the problem and the many underlying factors and commonly co-occurring disorders associated with student substance use. It covers the risk factors for adolescent substance use (e.g., trauma, ADHD, peer pressure, and family dysfunction) and contrasts each with specific protective factors that education professionals need to consider when designing schoolwide programs and classroom initiatives. Each chapter concludes with an example of an evidence-based program that has made a difference for students and families. Armed with knowledge, understanding, and examples of proven programs, school professionals can incorporate the necessary protective factors to provide hope and help for struggling students and their families.
