English Vocabulary: The Basics (Book Review)
Authors:   Anadolu University, Türkye, Yildiz Mustafa
Published: September 2023

As David Wilkins once pointed out, the significance of vocabulary in language and communication cannot be downplayed, which breathes life into ideas and thoughts, transforming them from abstract notions into concrete, meaningful expressions. However, until recently, vocabulary was often an overlooked element of language learning (Meara, 1980). As time has gone by, scholars have given vocabulary research more and more attention. With such history in mind, English Vocabulary: The Basics by Michael McCarthy reflects the importance of vocabulary in language and language learning with an introductory text for novices completely new to the area of vocabulary studies. As its title suggests, the book aims to provide readers with a fundamental understanding of key concepts underpinning this complex and multifaceted field. [First paragraph]
“Learning by being”: integrated thinking and competencies to mark the difference from AIs
Authors:   University of Rome Tor Vergata - Dip. SPFS, Giovannella Carlo
Published: September 2023

In this position paper, starting from the concept of competence and highlighting how competence frameworks always underlie a model of the individual’s operativeness in a specific context, an educational model is proposed in which scientific thinking and design thinking – both of which can be enhanced by computational thinking – are integrated. This model is associated with an integrated competence space and the development of a new paradigm – ‘learning by being’ – aimed at the harmonious development of the learner; a competency-based paradigm that could favor the transformation of the “factory-school” model introduced following the industrial revolution and help the human to mark its difference with the “artificial intelligences” (AIs).

Published: September 2023

New educational trends mediated by technology require the development of Teacher Digital Competence (TDC). These have been regulated by competence frameworks, such as DigCompEdu. The aim of the study is to determine and compare the level of self-perception of digital competence among teachers of the different stages of compulsory education (Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Education) as a function of gender, considering different age ranges, years of teaching experience and hours of permanent education. This study also analysed how different predictors influence each other in the acquisition of TDC. To this end, an ex post facto non-experimental design is used with 78,966 teachers from Andalusia (Spain). The results show that the diagnosed level is low-medium and that the analysed variables had significant impact and prediction levels. Consequently, the casuistry of this phenomenon is discussed, concluding that it is necessary to develop personalised training programmes for teachers.
Towards a framework for Open Data literacy in education: A systematic mapping review of Open Data skills and learning approaches
Authors: Celis Vargas Alejandra , Magnussen Rikke , Mulder Ingrid , Larsen Birger
Published: September 2023

Open Data (OD) is defined as digital data that is made available with the technical and legal characteristics necessary to be freely used, reused, and redistributed by anyone, anytime and anywhere. Although OD can be seen as a commons, citizens often face challenges in accessing, using and making sense of available open datasets. Current literature identifies a lack of data expertise as one of the main barriers and emphasises the importance of strategies for training and teaching the appropriate competencies. Furthermore, a clear definition of OD skills and learning approaches is missed. A two-sided systematic mapping review with a focus on the educational domain was conducted to identify relevant OD skills and the approaches facilitating the development of these competencies. The results section presents a map of OD skills and learning approaches, while the discussion section elaborates on the potential of OD in education to empower students with skills and competencies to better understand their context, act in their everyday life environment and address future challenges. The current contribution is an OD literacy framework that puts OD at the centre of competence-based education, fostering responsible citizenship necessary for addressing today’s societal challenges.

Isokinetic torque curves abnormalities of the knee extensors during patellofemoral syndrome
Authors:   Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University Hospital ibn Sina, Rabat, Morocco., Khalid El Youbi
Published: September 2023

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most prevalent causes of anterior knee pain encountered by physicians. Its etiology remains without a clear consensus; however, it is probably multifactorial. One of the main factors seems to be muscular imbalance. Isokinetic assessment is regularly used in this regard to accurately measure muscle function at different modes and speeds and is therefore the investigation of choice in mechanical knee disorders such as PFPS. In the current work, we present figures illustrating a quantitative abnormality in knee extensor (quadriceps) curvatures during the concentric isokinetic test in patients with this disorder. This objectified anomaly occurs sporadically, although it is characteristic of pain during contraction curves. Aside from a deficiency of muscular strength, several factors have been related to these abnormal contraction curves, including the presence of potential musculotendinous retractions and the bone cause of the PFPS. On the other hand, these curve aspects, despite their occurrence during the PFPS, are neither sensitive nor specific.

Published: September 2023

China's fertility problem has attracted more and more attention, especially in the education level and the age of first marriage. Census data show that China's fertility rate from 2000 to 2020 tends to gradually decline, the age of first marriage is gradually postponed under the condition of different levels of education, and the childbearing age is also constantly postponed, in the short 20 years of a sharp decline in fertility, China's fertility policy has also been adjusted. However, at present, the change of the birth policy has only brought a very short-term effect, and the decline in the fertility rate is only a fact that cannot be changed by adjusting the birth policy. Therefore, based on the data of the fifth, sixth and seventh census data, this paper analyzes the change trend of average age of first marriage, the trend of education level and age of first marriage, the change trend of national average childbearing age and the average childbearing age of various regions in China. The study found that the average age of first marriage of the population in China continues to be postponed, the average age of first marriage in urban areas is higher than that in towns and villages, overall, the average age of first marriage of women in 2020 will reach 28.14 years old, and the average age of first marriage of men will reach 29.3 years; by 2020, with the improvement of education level, the age of first marriage of the population with postgraduate degrees will reach 44% at the age of 30 and later; The national average childbearing age increased from 25.91 years in 1990 to 28.91 years in 2022. In the seventh population census, the average childbearing age of each region was higher than that in Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Guangdong and Shaanxi, among which the average childbearing age in Beijing reached 31.51 years, Shanghai was 30.08 years, Shandong was 29.76 years, Guangdong was 29.38 years old, and Shaanxi was 29.53 years.

Authors: Chen Zihao , Xu Chen
Published: September 2023

Agricultural competitiveness is an important indicator for measuring the level of local agricultural development, and high-quality agricultural development is the future development trend of agriculture. This paper analyzes the changes and factors of agricultural competitiveness in Shandong Province, and makes a comprehensive evaluation, and puts forward measures and suggestions to promote the development of high-quality agriculture in Shandong Province. In this paper, relevant agricultural data of 16 prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province are selected, and factor analysis is used to assess the level of agricultural competitiveness of prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province. The results show that the overall distribution of agricultural competitiveness in Shandong Province is uneven, with large gaps and low values. The geographical distribution shows the trend of "high in the middle and low around", and the input-output and economic factors, planting output, fruit and vegetable output, fishery output all affect the competitiveness of Shandong's agriculture. Therefore, the future development direction of Shandong Province's agriculture should be based on the actual development situation, and the competitiveness of agriculture in each prefecture-level city should be improved according to local conditions.
Investigation of Chinese Preschool Teachers’ Attitudes and Beliefs toward Science Teaching
Authors: Li Lie
Published: September 2023

The science attitudes and beliefs of preschool teachers in Shaanxi province of China were explored. 185 preschool teachers participated in the survey. The findings revealed that the preschool teachers had the positive attitudes and beliefs toward science teaching. However, there are clearer differences between preschool teachers’ science attitudes and beliefs and practical teaching. They may escape teaching science activities in teaching when they meet difficulties in the insufficient teaching time, inadequate knowledge and auxiliary materials. In addition, the factors influencing teachers’ science attitudes and beliefs were studied. The gender and education level of preschool teachers had no significant effect on their scientific attitudes and beliefs. It is worthy note that the preschool teachers with bachelor’s degree were more willing to carry out some science activities than the preschool teachers with university (3 years). Although there is no significant difference in the attitudes and beliefs of the preschool teachers with different teaching experiences, teaching experiences had a significant difference in the challenge dimension. The preschool teachers with less than 2 years teaching experiences are more confidence in science teaching. Based on the findings, some suggestions are supplied: improving education level, building specific and clear standards, providing more related auxiliary material supports.
EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL FUNCTIONING ASPECTS OF WOMEN UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY AND MASTECTOMYWITH VARIED TIME ELAPSES FROM TREATMENT COMPLETION
Authors: Bury-Kamińska Magdalena
Published: September 2023

The aim of the study was a comparison of two groups of women who suffered from breast cancer in the past, selected on the basis of the time elapsed since treatment completion (<7 and >7 years). The specific areas of interest were the quality of life, sense of control, and level of depression.Results from 37 women were analysed. The average age in the research sample was 57. The study was conducted with the use of EORTC QLQ-C30, MHLC, and Depression Assessment Questionnaire.Women in whose case the time elapsed since the completion of anticancer treatment is no more than 7 years have a more negative assessment of the quality of life aspects, that is physical and social functioning, in comparison to persons in whose case the adaptation time to changes, following cancer and treatment, is longer (more than 7 years). The studied persons with a shorter period elapsed since the completion of anticancer therapy hold stronger beliefs concerning their own influence on their health in comparison to women who have not undergone oncological treatment for at least 7 years. The author’s own research highlights the trend pertaining to the differences in the intensity of experiencing guilt and anxiety between the groups. However, it requires further research involving a larger group of studied patients.Despite the progress in the diagnostics and treatment of breast cancer, patients with this type of cancer still experience long-term subjective difficulties in areas making up their physical, mental, and social well-being. The research proves the differences in functioning of women depending on the time that has elapsed since the completion of anticancer treatment.

UMA ADMINISTRAÇÃO GLOBAL PARA A INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL
Authors: Da Silva Claudio Alves
Published: September 2023

O acelerado desenvolvimento da Inteligência Artificial [IA], em especial da Inteligência Artificial Geral e o eventual advento da Superinteligência Artificial, afeta a Comunidade Internacional como um todo, constituindo-se um fato jurídico a clamar por uma regulamentação em nível global. Transplantando o conceito de singularidade da Física para o Direito, o presente estudo defende que essas modalidades de IA são questões de caráter universal, de modo que as iniciativas legislativas locais são insuficientes para regulamentar de maneira adequada essas formas de IA. Assim, o presente estudo trata da necessidade de criação de uma forma de Administração Global. A partir da revisão da literatura sobre Direito Administrativo Global, conclui-se como oportuna a regulamentação global para a Inteligência Artificial Geral e para Superinteligência Artificial, a ser efetivada por instituição nos moldes da Agência Internacional de Energia Atômica.
Rapport, Course Technology, and Self-Regulated Learning as Predictors of Student Satisfaction in an Online Horticulture Program
Authors: Estepp Christopher , Dickson Ryan , Johnson Donald
Published: September 2023

Online courses have proliferated in higher education, which has provided greater opportunities for institutions and students. However, student attrition from online programs has been a perennial problem. One potential solution to help increase retention is to improve student satisfaction. Instructor characteristics, technology, and self-regulated learning are all variables, which could contribute to greater student satisfaction in online courses. However, little research exists regarding these variables within the context of online agriculture programs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine predictors of student satisfaction in an online, multi-institutional, horticulture program. Students enrolled in the ACCEPtS horticulture program in spring and fall of 2020 were surveyed to determine their perceptions regarding professor-student rapport, technology, self-regulated learning, and course satisfaction. Results showed that students had favorable perceptions regarding professor-student rapport and technology, they mostly agreed they used self-regulated learning behaviors, and they were generally satisfied with the ACCEPtS program. Technology and professor-student rapport were significant predictors of student satisfaction; however, rapport was more robust and explained about a quarter of the variance in satisfaction. Rapport is an important contributor to student satisfaction in online courses, and instructors should utilize behaviors that contribute to the building of relationships.
Using reinforcement learning to improve drone-based inference of greenhouse gas fluxes
Authors: Van Hove Alouette , Aalstad Kristoffer , Pirk Norbert
Published: September 2023

Accurate mapping of greenhouse gas fluxes at the Earth’s surface is essential for the validation and calibration of climate models. In this study, we present a framework for surface flux estimation with drones. Our approach uses data assimilation (DA) to infer fluxes from drone-based observations, and reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize the drone’s sampling strategy. Herein, we demonstrate that an RL-trained drone can quantify a CO2 hotspot more accurately than a drone sampling along a predefined flight path thattraverses the emission plume. We find that information-based reward functions can match the performance of an error-based reward function that quantifies the difference between the estimated surface flux and the true value. Reward functions based on information gain and information entropy can motivate actions that increase the drone’s confidence in its updated belief, without requiring knowledge of the true surface flux. These findings provide valuable insights for further development of the framework for the mapping of more complex surface flux fields.
Odgovornost za štetu prouzrokovanu zloupotrebom elektronskog memoranduma
Authors: Momčilov Milena
Published: September 2023

One of the ways in which interested parties can conclude a contract through the Internet involves the technique of exchanging e-mails. Depending on whether a written form is required for the conclusion of a contract or not, a distinction can be made between "ordinary" email contracts and "qualified" email contracts. The conclusion of the contract by exchanging e-mails may also include the use of electronic memorandum. Such a contract-concluding technique is particularly accompanied by the risk of unauthorised conclusion of the contract. Therefore, it is important provide enhanced protection to the other (conscientious) party. The rule is that the empty space on the (electronic) memorandum will be filled by the person/entity whose data are contained in the remaining part of the memorandum. However, the question is what will happen if a contract is concluded by a person who is not authorized to do so? Therefore, the central issue that this paper deals with is reflected in the examination of the risk of misuse of electronic memorandum and the validity of such concluded contracts. An additional reason why the author opted for this question is the fact that there are no special legal rules in Serbian positive legal system that regulate the issue of validity of contracts concluded by misuse of an electronic memorandum and the issue of eventuall liability for damage suffered by the another contractor in such a situation.

Criminal law has to keep pace with the constant advancement of technology and the emergence of the digital revolution to the fore: it has to come to grips with emerging - and still unregulated - legal problems, one of which is a new means of transport: the electric scooter. What is the problem? The electric scooter is operated by one person, who has no equipment, no driver's license, and the electric scooter does not require insurance - for now. The use of electric scooters has become very widespread in Hungary in recent years, especially in the capital and its surroundings. However, for the users of this means of transport, there is also the problem that the valid traffic regulations have not specifically applied to this vehicle so far, so scooter drivers could use bike paths, roadways, and even sidewalks. In addition, zero tolerance for alcohol use was not applied to them, which caused quite a few accidents. In Hungary, this issue is also important for compensation for damages from such traffic accidents. The solution is in the hands of the Hungarian legislator, the draft is in the plan, but it has not yet been drawn up, it has not been adopted and it is not yet in force.

Media disputes are special litigation proceedings in which the court must balance betweem various rights and the amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage, assess whether the right to freedom of speech and citizens' right to information is restricted. Only an urgent procedure and an independent court that will resist the pressure of prosecutor in civil proceedings who are often public figures with great influence, and on the other hand the media with specific power over public opinion, ensure adequate protection of the most sensitive rights of citizens. This paper analyzes how the procedure for determining compensation for non-pecuniary damage is carried out according to the current Law on Public Information and Media. Current norms could ensure effective protection of citizens' personal rights in media disputes. The implementation of the Law is faulty. Uniform case law in determining the amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage represents one of the factors of a fair trial. Unfortunately, the established amount of compensation does not fulfill its purpose. Violation of subjective rights is related to a person and the amount of damage must ensure personal satisfaction. It must be such that it influences the perpetrator, the media, to refrain from further infringement of rights. The law determined the reasons for violation of personal rights. They provide a legal basis for awarding damages in the event that the media abuses freedom of speech through unprofessional behavior. Case law must be a quality complement to legal norms in order to achieve the purpose of media disputes in realizing the balance of rights.
Experiences of consensus in criminal procedure in Hungary - importance for damage compensation
Authors: Békés Ádám
Published: September 2023

Bearing in mind that civil law problems frequently have a criminal aspect, the civil proceedings and criminal proceedings often run parallel. During 2014, the Hungarian government modernized the laws governing these procedures, above all the criminal procedure, where the priority was given to the compensation of the victim. In the paper, the author analyzes how Hungarian law tries to improve compensation for the victim, as well as how to achieve compensation in the shortest possible time, without denying the rights of the accused. The author focuses on consensual procedures that are based on the cooperation between the prosecution and the defence, in order to achieve common interests. In this way, the author analyzes experiences in reaching consensus in Hungarian law and its importance for damage compensation.

Traffic in Serbia and worldwide goes through many changes and numerous improvements on a daily basis. Technological progress changes the vehicles, which leads to further changes regarding accompanying activities. Modern vehicles are equipped with recorders of exact data on traffic accidents and which are located in airbags. Accompanying activities provide the possibility of reading such data and entering them into modern software tools for the analysis of traffic accidents. This way the subjectivity of experts is reduced by providing a precise analysis of the vehicle’s activity 5s before the accident in time sections of 0.5s. These data are significant for criminal proceedings and for damage compensation litigations, considering the fact that the judges in those cases are often faced with the decisions on suspension of proceedings against an individual participant in a traffic accident who thereafter submitted a claim to the insurance company.

The principle of full compensation of the aggrieved party governs the law of compensation of damages. To achieve this goal, the injured party must prove before the court or the arbitration that he suffered damage as well as its amount. That is neither an easy nor a simple task for him, especially when proving a loss of profits as a kind of material damage. It seems that the position of the aggrieved party from contractual damages is even more difficult due to the fact that contractual damages are hypothetical and can hardly be proven precisely in practice. Therefore, to prove loss of profit in contractual or non-contractual damage, it is necessary to accept a lower standard of proof which is sufficient to convince the court not that the profit that was missed due to the harmful act would certainly occur, but that it is very likely that it would occur. That is the only way for the injured party to realize the legally guaranteed right to be compensated for the entire damage he suffered. However, at the same time that must not be at the expense of the debtor, because compensation for damages is not a punishment, but should correspond to the actual damage suffered.
Risk management in insurance vs discrimination
Authors: Ranaldi Valentina , Kostić Jelena
Published: September 2023

Risk management in insurance companies is a very important component of coroporate governance. Based on a timely, accurate and adequate assessment of risks, it’s possible to take the necessary measures to reduce them or eliminate the possibility of their realization, with the aim of preventing the solvency of the insurance company and its efficient operation. A reasonable risk assessment, taking into account all relevant criteria, is an important requirement from the Solvency II Directive, with which it’s necessary to further harmonize regulations at the national level. Risk management involves identification, assessment, proposing measures to reduce and eliminate risks and reporting to competent aurhorities on the measures taken. When assessing risk reduction measures in insurance/reinsurance companies, not only internal acts and regulations from the field of insurance, but also general acts that aren’t from that area should be taken into account. A special problem in the field of insurance is the application of discriminatory criteria with reference to statistical data when determining the conditions or insurance premim rates. However, such behaviour is a violation of the prohibition of discrimination, which is stipulated in both international and national regulations. In this paper, we first point out the importance of the risk management function and the compliance of national regulations in that part with the Solvency II Directive, and then we analyze cases of discrimination in the field of insurance in order to provide recommendations for possibly overcoming such situations at the level of insurance/reinsurance companies, bearing in mind that exclusion of a certain group from insurance solely on the basis of its personal characteristics is an act contrary to the Constitution and the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination.

The professional liability of a lawyer is related to the intellectual aspect of this profession, as well as to the conditions for its performance, which are related to the performance of specific jobs, expertise, passing a special exam, registration in certain registers, etc. Lawyers are obliged to conclude a professional liability insurance contract. The obligation of this type of insurance has two goals. The first refers to the protection of the lawyer’s clients from damage, which may be caused by the lawyer’s mistake, and the second refers to the protection of the lawyer, i.e., the protection of his property. The Act on the Bar of the Republic of Serbia regulates liability insurance for lawyers as mandatory. The Bar Association will not issue a lawyer’s license or extend it to a lawyer who does not conclude the mentioned insurance. The text also pays attention to the regulation of lawyers’ liability insurance in certain countries. In addition, the author pays special attention to the insured case with this type of insurance, that is, the moment when the insurer’s obligation with this type of insurance arises.

Accident insurance, as a voluntary form of insurance, is increasingly attracting the interest of potential policyholders. Undoubtedly, global trends contribute to this to a large extent, and thus also the fact that, in particular, people are increasingly exposed to numerous sudden risks, which can temporarily or permanently lead to the collapse of the existing quality and lifestyle. Available analyzes and future trends in the insurance market clearly lead to the conclusion that accident insurance, especially accident insurance resulting from the motor vehicles’ use, will record significant growth. In this regard, on the Montenegrin insurance market, all insurance companies in their portfolio offer this type of insurance. Analysis of the relevant reports leads to the conclusion that accident insurance takes a significant part, according to almost all parameters in the structure of total insurance. A survey conducted on the territory of Montenegro showed that accident insurance is present on the market both through collective and individual insurance. The fact that the collective insurance policy is more prevalent indicates the need for greater marketing moves by insurance companies in order to raise the awareness of the insured to a higher level and thus lead to a greater number of individual insurance policies being concluded. In the domain of the dynamics of claims settlement, it can be pointed out that there is a high degree of satisfaction with it, as well as that the satisfaction of the insured with this insurance product is, in general, at a fairly high level. The paper provided both a scientific and, perhaps more important, practical contribution, where very satisfied results can be achieved through a successful combination of scientific knowledge and practical experience.

La sociedad en un continuum avasallante de cambios y desarrollo, donde el ser humano avizora y actúa en principio de cada cambio, siendo el actor principal de su auge, entre ellos, el galope de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación, donde su espectro de medios, componentes y herramientas, facilita la vida en cada dimensión que suscita, entreviendo su conminación, el surgimiento de redes sociales y, con ellas, dinámicas diversas de interacciones, unas favorables, otras no tanto; entre estas últimas, se ubica el cyberbullying, donde el acoso escolar cobra vigencia en escenarios online, degradando y alterando la condición humana de cada estudiante tanto víctima como victimario, deconstruyendo la realidad y su continuidad amena; razón por la cual, desde este ensayo, se busca analizar el cyberbullying como una realidad latente en instituciones educativas postmodernas de ecuador. En este sentido, se asumen las dimensiones sociales, culturales, políticas, educativas y psicológicas, logrando una desconfiguración de las tecnologías educativas, haciéndolas más asequibles desde el sentido cognitivo y cívico.
Hotila: A Natural Consumption Alternative to MSGC
Authors: Panyawuthakrai Rakkhun
Published: September 2023

This article is a mixed-method integration of survey and Participatory Action Research (PAR) conducted with local communities regarding a fern type commonly known as “Hotila” in Sgaw Karen or “Phaktue” in Tai Yai. Hotila is a palatable and nutrient-dense meal and is used as a healthy condiment to flavour various local cuisines with a sweet and mellow taste. Previously, research on and knowledge about it were sparse. The objectives of this study were thus to gather fundamental information about Hotila through in-depth surveys and interviews, to promote the conservation, rehabilitation, and breeding of a native species of Hotila through observation, interviews, and simple experiments, and to compare the satisfaction levels of Hotila consumption with that of Monosodium glutamate (MSG) in 17 communities in Mueang and Khunyuam Districts of Maehongson Province using Hedonic Scale of nine-satisfaction level questionnaires on 12 issues—pigment, smell, taste, texture, pricing, and packaging of Hotila and those of MSG with 319 randomly selected native samples. Results revealed: 1) 13 facts about Hotila, 2) Hotila is not typically grown in communities for at least two factors: unfavourable conditions in the soil, water, humidity, and temperature; and that communities lack the necessary knowledge on how and when to effectively collect and to successfully reproduce the Hotila species, and 3) MSG was inferior to Hotila in all 12 aspects. The findings are valuable to the research communities because they provide firsthand information about Hotila, a food substitute for MSG to encourage good health, especially for people who are health-conscious and allergic to MSG.

As tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) abrem importantes possibilidades para a aprendizagem de Matemática. Para tanto, é essencial que professores em formação sejam preparados. Nesse sentido, foi implementada a disciplina Educação Matemática e Tecnologias (EMT) na matriz curricular da licenciatura em Matemática do Instituto Federal Federal Fluminense Campus Campos-Centro. Tendo em vista investigar o impacto das ações realizadas na referida disciplina, na prática docente dos egressos foi realizada uma pesquisa. Neste artigo, entre outros aspectos, apresenta-se a analise de entrevistas realizadas com os egressos que cursaram a disciplina EMT. A análise sinalizou que não basta uma formação inicial de boa qualidade, quanto ao uso pedagógico das TIC, para que estas sejam incorporadas, efetivamente, às práticas docentes.
