Population Bulge and Food Security in Nigeria: A Positive or Negative Nexus
Authors: SULE Babayo , DERIBE Abacha Umar
Published: October 2023

Purpose - Nigeria is the seventh most populous country in the world, and estimated population growth suggests that it will become the fourth most populous country by 2050. Population distribution shows a dominant youth bulge and geometric growth in the last three decades. However, blessed with a large population, Nigeria suffers from hunger and food insecurity, with an estimated 23 million (10.55%) facing food shortages in 2023. Therefore, the question arises whether there is a link between population explosion and food security in Nigeria.
Methodology - This study answers the puzzle of the relationship between population growth and food security in Nigeria. The study uses documented sources and empirical data and applies content analysis to discuss the significant findings.
Findings -  The study concludes that the population explosion is not a curse or negative phenomenon causing food insecurity in Nigeria. However, relatively ineffective agricultural policies, conflicts in agricultural areas, displacement through insurgency, banditry and conflicts between farmers and herders, climatic factors, and underutilized youth and land are more responsible for the food security crisis than population growth.
Implication - Therefore, the study recommends, among other things, that agricultural policies must be changed to a modern farming system and that youth must be involved in profitable agricultural production to increase productivity and ensure food security in the future.

Authors: DHANURENDRA Bagas
Published: October 2023

Purpose:In this paper, we will discuss how to interpret Green Economy concepts and policies within the framework of Islamic environmentalism, one of which is by using the thoughts of Seyyed Hossein Nasr.
Methodology:The approach in research that the author uses is a qualitative approach, a scientific and systematic method to conduct and study an object without manipulation and hypothesis testing. At the same time, the form of research that the author will carry out is a form of library research.
Findings:Amid this complicated problem, Seyyed Hossein Nasr offers a solution: As a Modern Man, he must place the universe (cosmos, both macro and micro) as a theophany. It means that modern society needs to re-establish its understanding of the existence of self, nature, and God and how their relationship can be harmonious.
Implication:Seyyed Hossein Nasr invites us to reflect that human essence is integral to nature through this the-centrism framework. At the same time, the universe is a reflection of Divine power.
The Huayan Understanding of One-mind and Buddhist Practice on the Basis of the Awakening of Faith
Authors: Hamar Imre
Published: October 2023

The Huayan school of Chinese Buddhism inherited the legacy of the early transmission of Yogācāra teachings through the Dilun and Shelun schools, signifying a scholarly endeavour to synthetise the Yogācāra and Tathāgatagarbha teachings. In contrast to the Indian Yogācāra tradition, which was subsequently introduced to China by the renowned monk and traveller Xuanzang 玄奘 (602–664), these arly schools emphasised a kind of actual or pure reality behind the phenomenal world and was not satisfied with the worldview that the world can be traced back to a tainted entity, the ālayavijñāna, the source of all phenomena. This distinctive Chinese viewpoint finds explicit expression in the apocryphal Chinese text theAwakening of Faith Mahāyāna (Dasheng Qixin lun 大乘起信論), which has become one of the most important philosophical treatises in the history of Chinese Buddhism. This text proposes the concept of one-mind, which has the tathatā aspect (zhenru men 真如門) and the saṃsāra aspect (shengmie men 生滅門). Huayan exegetes, who authored commentaries on the Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra, the scripture that they regarded as the most perfect teaching of the Buddha, were influenced by the Awakening of Faith and the early Chinese Yogācāra schools in their understanding of this scripture. In this article, we are going to introduce the teachings of Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra that were interpreted as not only the appearance of Yogācāra thought but also as an unequivocal articulation of the concept of one-mind as it was put forward in the Awakening of Faith by Huayan scholars. We will show how this concept was further elaborated in Huayan philosophy and practice.
An Examination of the Phenomenon of Cohabitation: A Case Study of the Fante Tribe of Ghana
Authors: Acquaah George Emmanuel Acquaah
Published: October 2023

Cohabitation, a practice which is not accepted in Ghanaian culture, is on the rise and is becoming a growing concern that needs an outreach. An outreach involves interacting with those living together in unmarried and intimate relationships. This research, therefore, sought to examine the history, etymology, and scriptural underpinnings of cohabitation among the Fante people of Ghana, investigated the phenomena of cohabitation among the Fantes and offered approaches for reaching cohabitants in Ghana. The study used the qualitative method, and snowball sampling method to analyse cohabitation phenomena in Fante Land and interviewed twenty people about their reasons for cohabiting and its perceived effects. The study showed that cohabitants view marriage as a dangerous institution, with many experiencing agony, frustration, violence, abuse, despair and death. It offers minimal opposition and is prevalent in premarital and trial marriages. It is also a test before marriage due to fear of divorce, emotional and financial complications, and the high bride price. The study further revealed that cohabitants prioritise freedom of choice and self-fulfilment and face low sexual exclusivity, abuse, mental health issues, and high divorce rates. The study suggests support and education for cohabiting couples, counselling services and theological reflection on cohabitation’s compatibility with Christian values. It also recommends public awareness campaigns, educational programs, property rights reforms, and support systems like affordable childcare and social services. Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects on relationships and faith. The research serves as a valuable foundation for future studies on cohabitation, providing valuable insights for religious leaders, policymakers, and scholars interested in the intersection of faith and contemporary societal trends.

SELECTED ASPECTS OF THE MARKETING OF BUS TRANSPORT COMPANIES DURING COVID-19
Authors: Kicova Eva , Ponisciakova Olga , Rosnerova Zuzana
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant worldwide decrease in the number of passengers using bus transport in recent years. This phenomenon was caused by travelers’ fears of this disease, and at the same time, people started working from home. The aim of the paper is to analyze the importance of marketing and marketing strategies for bus companies. From our point of view, marketing is a tool for making bus transport more attractive for passengers. For the purposes of this post, we focus on customer perceptions of marketing and marketing strategies. We found that customers prefer Internet advertising the most, and the second most preferred type of advertising is print advertising. Their proposals in the subject area are also based on other findings that we dealt with in the survey. We investigated the motivation of passengers to use public transport, their opinion about the transport company in the Zilina region, and whether they use modern tools such as e-shops, virtual cards, and similar. As part of the papers processing, we used the questionnaire survey method, conducted a statistical evaluation of established hypotheses, and conducted a structured interview with the management of the bus company. From our point of view, it is marketing based on managerial experience and customer preferences that can be beneficial for the overall attractiveness of bus transport and, at the same time, significantly contribute to increasing the competitiveness of these businesses.
Two new species of South Asian Cnemaspis Strauch, 1887 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from the Gingee Hills, Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Khandekar Akshay , Thackeray Tejas , Kalaimani Ayuthavel , Agarwal Ishan
Published: October 2023

Abstract

We describe two new small-bodied, sympatric species of south Asian Cnemaspis belonging to the mysoriensis + adii clade from the Gingee Hills in Tamil Nadu, peninsular India. The two new species can be easily distinguished from the other eight described members of the mysoriensis + adii clade by their dorsal pholidosis, the configuration of femoral and precloacal pores in males, a number of meristic characters and subtle differences in colouration, beside 6.7–20.8 % uncorrected pairwise ND2 sequence divergence. The two species represent different ecomorphs, one a stouter, microhabitat generalist and the other a more slender, elongate rock specialist. The discovery of two new species from granite boulder habitats and Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests is indicative of the importance of these areas for biodiversity. It is likely that similar rocky habitats across southern peninsular India will harbour many more undescribed species.
Utility of cytochrome c oxidase I for the deciphering of unstable phylogeny and taxonomy of gorals, genus Nemorhaedus Hamilton Smith, 1827 (Bovidae, Ovibovina)
Authors: Hrabina Petr , Pernerová Ludmila , Suchomel Josef , Robovský Jan
Published: October 2023

Gorals represent ungulate mammals of the Palearctic and Indo-Malayan realms that face habitat destruction and intense hunting pressure. Their classification has been the subject of various (mainly genetic) assessments in the last decade, but some results are conflicting, hampering some conservation-based decisions. Genetic sampling of gorals has increased considerably in recent years, at least for mitochondrial (mt) DNA. Results based on two mt genes (cytochromeband the D-loop) are currently available. Still, the utility of cytochrome oxidase subunit I remains unanalysed, even though it belongs among the gene markers that enable a correct species identification in mammals. This study examines phylogenetic relationships and species delimitation in gorals using all currently available cytochrome oxidase subunit I sequences, including the not yet analysed goral population from Pakistan. Our results of various phylogenetic approaches, such as maximum parsimony, likelihood and Bayesian inference, and exploration of species boundaries via species delimitation support the validity of six species of goral, namelyN. baileyi,N. caudatus,N. cranbrooki,N. evansi,N. goral, andN. griseus. This result accords well with results based on other mt genes, especially the cytochromebfrom the highly exhaustive data sampling. Our study also summarises common sources of errors in the assessment of goral phylogeny and taxonomy and highlights future priorities in understanding goral diversification.

Exploring the Nature and Dimensions of Scientific Mobility
Authors: Raghupathi Viju , Ren Jie , Raghupathi Wullianallur
Published: October 2023

Comprehending the characteristics or potential benefits of global mobility of scientists has been inadequate from academic/practical perspectives. The authors attempt to fill a theoretical gap by focusing on the nature/dimensions of the mobility of highly educated people to other countries. They analyze data from the Open Researcher and Contributor ID-ORCID database and examine the characteristics of scientists as well as the propensity of these highly qualified individuals to migrate. Using 6000 migration records of PhDs from 194 countries, the authors utilize visual analytics to explore the various dimensions of scientists and their movements. Results show that the largest numbers of researchers reside in developed countries; there is net inflow of PhD researchers to developed countries. Also, scientific immigration is impacted not only by the availability of research positions in academic institutions, but also by economics (supply/demand) as well as contemporary immigration policies and social trends.
Mathematical Optimization of Cold Wire Drawing Operations
Authors: Doblas-Charneco Francisco Javier , Morales-Palma Domingo , Estevez Aida , Vallellano Carpoforo
Published: October 2023

An analytical model of the cold wire drawing process is used to implement an optimization procedure. The optimization aims to minimize the number of passes required to achieve a given reduction while maintaining a safe value of the drawing stress in each step. The number of passes and the sequence of intermediate diameters are the output of the optimization model. The sequence of diameters is optimal in the sense that minimizes a mathematical objective function, and their values must be considered a first attempt to determine appropriate values for a specific wire drawing operation. With respect to prior contributions, the work hardening of the material is exploited to reduce the number of passes. The reduction of the number of passes yields lower values of the aspect ratio, defined as the mean diameter divided by the contact length, which is an important factor to prevent the onset of internal defects. The optimization is performed numerically with mathematical programming and metaheuristic algorithms.
Multicriteria Decision Methodology Applied to the Textile Factory “La Juanona” in Antequera
Authors: Bermudo Gamboa Carolina , Martín-Béjar Sergio , Claver Juan , Sevilla Hurtado Lorenzo
Published: October 2023

The industrialization of Antequera went through an important development during the 19th century. From this golden age, few factories remain. In general, they have been substituted entirely by other constructions or abandoned to deterioration. However, Antequera’s town hall is working towards the maintenance of the industrial and textile heritage of the area, with special programs focused on the recovery of the remains as museums, areas dedicated to education and special hiking routes around the textile factories. In this context, it is easy to recognize the need of special activities centered on reusing the facilities to preserve them in good shape. However, this is not an easy task because reuse can damage the heritage value of the assets under preservation. This paper explores the synergies between two methodological proposals for the enhancement of industrial immovable asset on which the authors have been working. One based on the use of drones, photogrammetry and reverse engineering and the other on the application of multi-criteria decision support techniques for the selection of new uses with less impact on the conservation of the heritage values of the analyzed asset. Results show that these two methodologies can work together for a better evaluation of the industrial assets, being drones an important resource for those assets that are difficult to access.

Published: October 2023

Additive manufacturing (AM) has different dimensions with high potential, apart from the well-known ability to produce complex parts with great feasibility, minimum material, and without the need of expensive dies, among other advantages. Social, Environmental, Health, and Teaching and Learning are some examples of dimensions where AM can serve as an engine to promote economic changes, with special focus in depopulated areas. The “Teaching and Learning” dimension is key to promote global changes. There are two main approaches to incorporating additive manufacturing technologies into teaching and learning processes: active and passive integration of 3D printing. In this work, both approaches are considered through the example of some experiences in subjects of different disciplines such as manufacturing processes engineering and materials science. From the active approach, that is, acquiring knowledge and developing skills on AM techniques, the application of AM to generate crystal lattices of the inner structure of materials and the fabrication of patterns in foundry processes are presented as examples. Through these examples students develop skills related to design for additive manufacturing, selection of suitable materials and printing parameters, and postprocessing tasks. Form the passive approach, that is, the use of these technologies to support the learning process in technical subjects, three examples are shown: Bravais crystal lattices spatial configuration, design of foundry processes, and mechanical behavior of auxetic structures. These examples are useful to help our undergraduates understanding basic concepts that require spatial vision, as is the case of crystal lattices, improve foundry processes through the design of patterns, core boxes and casting distribution systems, and approaching to mechanical behavior of advanced materials, such as auxetic structures. This work aims to disseminate the potential of AM dimensions, such as Learning and Teaching, to boost fields of innovation.
Time Domain Simulation of Surface Topography in Broaching Considering Tools with General Cutting Edge Geometries and Three DoF Parametric Dynamics
Authors: Iklodi Zsolt , Gabos Zoltan , Bártfai András , Dombovari Zoltan
Published: October 2023

This study presents a time domain simulation and workpiece surface generation framework for broaching operations, carried out with broaching tools of arbitrary geometry by machine tools of general dynamics. First, a three degree of freedom simulation model is formulated by considering an adequately discretized infinitely rigid tool, and a broaching machine, which is compliant in all translational spatial directions. Taking contact loss events into account, this leads to system a piecewise-smooth delay differential equations with state dependent delays, due to the allowed deviations in the speed of cutting. Through numeric integration of these equations, the dynamic displacement and cutting edge engagement of the broaching tool are evaluated, which serve as inputs for the developed surface generation routines. Then, a discretized workpiece surface is generated by finding the last active cutting edge, and its corresponding displacement for each point, allowing the numeric investigation of surface roughness and integrity through standardized techniques. Finally, to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed framework, force and displacement signals as well as the generated surface and its virtual quality assessment are presented for a typical broaching operation.

Published: October 2023

Despite environmental general conscience, heavy use of paper is still one fact in nowadays factories. The shorter the manufacturing production, the greater the tendency to employ paper to support quality tracking of pieces; using it to register measurements or nonconformities. This tendency increases drastically in some manufactures like aerospace, where typical production ratios vary between 9 and 18 subassemblies per month. The current work presents an automatic speech recognition system, meant to replace paper by a digitalized version of the manual writing task. The work presents (i) industrial use cases with benefits and requirements; (ii) the system architecture, including several tested free Automatic Speech Recognition modules, their analysis; and (iii) some open-source supporting modules that improves its functionality. The work concludes presenting several tests, showing the system performance against different kind of industrial noises, low to high quality microphones and users with different dialects.
Influence of Collective Action on the Efficacy of Tea Smallholding Development Societies in Sri Lanka

Published: October 2023

Farmers Organizations (FO) have evolved to address the major constraints faced by smallholder farmers. They need to address the diverse concerns of members. Tea Smallholding Development Societies (TSDS) were established through a legislative act and are expected to serve tea smallholders on resource and market-related issues. However, currently, the tea smallholding sub-sector seems stagnant as indicated by some of the key indicators that question the interventions made by TSDS to uplift the lives of tea growers. This study sought to explore the efficacy of TSDS and investigate its relationship with CA status. Data were collected from 120 TSDSs in major tea-growing areas using structured questionnaires. Results revealed that only 25% of TSDS offer multipurpose services at varying rates. The majority of TSDS acts only as an intermediary agency linking tea smallholders with government agencies for various forms of assistance. Market-oriented activities were minimal. Policy dialogue was found to be often lacking within organizations, which can block opportunities to develop a collective consciousness among the membership. Overall observations can be classified into four clusters based on the level of multitasking service provision. A significant correlation was e revealed between the efficacy of TSDSs and the status of collective action. The above correlation was stronger when collective action took place voluntarily than when a third party intervened, raising the question of dependency. The results, supported by the literature, revealed that collective action and efficacy function as interdependent variables. Thus, these two factors have the potential to behave in a vicious circle.
Fortified MapReduce Layer: Elevating Security and Privacy in Big Data
Authors: Gupta Manish , Dwivedi Rajendra Kumar
Published: October 2023

In today's digital landscape, the widespread sharing and utilization of raw data are integral in social, medical, agricultural, and academic domains. The surge of open platforms has led to exponential growth in data, transforming it into what we now call Big Data (BD). However, the traditional BD model lacks a specific mechanism for capturing the sensitivity of data, leaving it vulnerable to potential breaches. To address this, a privacy and security layer is crucial. This paper propose a novel solution called the Fortified Secured Map Reduce (FSMR) Layer, which serves as an intermediary between the HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) and MR (Map Reduce) Layer. The FSMR model is designed to foster data sharing for knowledge mining while ensuring robust privacy and security guarantees. It effectively resolves scalability issues concerning privacy and strikes a balance between privacy and utility for data miners. By implementing the FSMR model, we achieve remarkable improvements in running time and information loss compared to existing approaches. Furthermore, storage and CPU utilization are minimized, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the data processing pipeline. The outcome of our work lies in promoting data sharing while safeguarding sensitive information, making it a significant step towards secure and privacy-conscious BD processing.

Examples of dHYM connections in a variable background
Authors: Schlitzer Enrico , Stoppa Jacopo
Published: October 2023

We study deformed Hermitian Yang–Mills (dHYM) connections on ruled surfaces explicitly, using the momentum construction. As a main application, we provide many new examples of dHYM connections coupled to a variable background Kähler metric. These are solutions of the moment map partial differential equations given by the Hamiltonian action of the extended gauge group, coupling the dHYM equation to the scalar curvature of the background. The large radius limit of these coupled equations is the Kähler–Yang–Mills system of Álvarez-Cónsul, Garcia-Fernandez, and García-Prada, and in this limit, our solutions converge smoothly to those constructed by Keller and Tønnesen-Friedman. We also discuss other aspects of our examples including conical singularities, realization as B-branes, the small radius limit, and canonical representatives of complexified Kähler classes.
Pieśń o Bogu. Poetycka teologia Bolesława Leśmiana
Authors: Milan Rafał
Published: October 2023

Monografia Rafała Milana poświęcona poetyckiej teologii Leśmiana to książka ważna i potrzebna, w znacznej mierze nowatorska. Wyrasta z wnikliwej, pogłębionej filozoficznie, myślowo odważnej lektury wierszy autora Łąki. Mierzy się z „rozstajnością” wpisanego w nie sensu. Daje wyostrzony wgląd w te ich rejestry, które są poruszeniami wyobraźni otwartej na „bóstwienie się” tajemnicy, na „tchnienia” przygodnych teofanii. I jednocześnie pokazuje, czym w pisarskiej praktyce Leśmiana staje się jedna z kluczowych ambicji nowoczesnej poezji. Bóg widziany okiem wiersza Leśmiana to Bóg „istniejący na opak”. Ta konstatacja – wyprowadzona z głębi modernistycznego kryzysu religijnego – leży u podstaw interpretacyjnego przedsięwzięcia Rafała Milana. Istnienie na opak – wywrócone na nice – jest niepochwytne i zarazem ćmi fantomowym bólem, a tym samym: pozostaje złudą i jednocześnie ujawnia się jako swoiste promieniowanie reliktowe. W ten sposób wydarza się pośmiertne życie Boga – tułaczka echa, powidok lewej strony istnienia. Tak dokonuje się hierofania sacrum kalekującego – pomarniała, znikoma manifestacja „odwróconej obecności”, która przypomina, że „brak” i „pustka” są „immanentną częścią boskiej egzystencji” (wymykającej się wszelkiej reprezentacji).

O fenómeno de transferência interlinguística gramatical na aprendizagem do português L3 no contexto do ensino superior polaco. O caso do modo conjuntivo
Authors: Czopek Natalia
Published: October 2023

O presente estudo concentra-se na análise do problema das transferências interlinguísticas gramaticais verificadas durante a aprendizagem do português como língua estrangeira ao nível académico na Polónia. A autora toma como exemplo o emprego do modo conjuntivo para examinar o grau de influência do background linguístico no processo de aprendizagem. A amostra do estudo é única e original, representando uma grande contribuição para o campo da linguística aplicada e didática do português. O texto fornece estímulos muito interessantes para um estudo mais detalhado que englobe a tipologia geral dos aprendentes na área em questão, encontrando certamente paralelos em outras partes do mundo. A autora demonstra um vasto conhecimento no campo da didática de línguas estrangeiras. As conclusões são apropriadamente tecidas no sentido de elaborar um novo método didático de introdução das formas e do uso do conjuntivo. O plano de investigação é muito claro, vem acompanhado de uma argumentação precisa, e os dados são analisados também de forma muito clara e objetiva. Deste ponto de vista, o trabalho é realmente de grande qualidade. Acresce que o campo da didática do português como língua estrangeira está a experienciar um boom sem precedentes pelo que os resultados apresentados pela autora constituirão certamente um importante ponto de partida para estudos futuros.
Gra jako obiekt oporny. Performatywność w relacji gracza i gry cyfrowej
Authors: Janik Justyna
Published: October 2023

Co się dzieje, gdy spotka się gracz z grą? Zazwyczaj – nic przewidywalnego. Książka Justyny Janik koncentruje się na relacji między graczem a grą cyfrową, która jest opisywana w kontekście krytycznych pism Tadeusza Kantora i nowomaterialistycznej filozofii Karen Barad. Teorie te zostają wykorzystane w serii wnikliwych i krytycznych analiz różnych zjawisk, które pojawiają się w grach cyfrowych, takich jak glitche, speedruny, wewnątrzgrowe duchy oraz ruiny porzuconych gier sieciowych. Efektem takiego podejścia jest nowe rozumienie gry oparte na materialności i relacjach, gdzie gracz i gra są współtwórcami znaczeń płynących z aktu grania. Fenomen cyfrowej rozgrywki ujęty więc zostaje w odmiennym świetle, skłaniając do zastanowienia się, w jaki sposób gry mogą doprowadzić nas do wniosków na temat transformacyjnej siły spotkania z nie-ludzkim Innym. „Autorka wprowadza do dyskursu groznawczego nowy poziom refleksji ontologicznej, który znacząco różni się od obecnych w literaturze specjalistycznej badań formalnych i egzystencjalnych. Traktując gry jako «obiekty oporne», oferuje nowatorski opis złożonego i multimodalnego fenomenu, jakim jest bio-obiekt gry cyfrowej”. Z recenzji dra hab. Michała Kłosińskiego
In Defence of a Dynamic View of Reality
Authors: Gołosz Jerzy
Published: October 2023

This collection of papers defends a dynamic view of reality which is founded on the assumption of the objective existence of the flow of time. The vindication makes use of a metaphysical theory of the flow of time developed by the author which is based on the notion of dynamic existence. “The topics covered in the book are presented in an exhaustive and complete way. The defended position is presented in many aspects — ontological, methodological and scientific (physical). (…) It will certainly be a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussions on the passage of time, the problem of time asymmetry, and the relationship between the ontology of time and modern physics.” From the review by Prof. Tomasz Bigaj
Między wspólnotą a wyobcowaniem. Człowiek w kontekście współczesnych przeobrażeń społeczeństwa i rodziny
Authors: Szwejka Łukasz , Więckiewicz Bogdan , Nowakowski Piotr T.
Published: October 2023

Początek obecnego stulecia to czas gwałtownych i fundamentalnych przeobrażeń obejmujących życie prywatne i publiczne, przenikających przestrzeń fizyczną i aksjologiczną. Teraźniejszość jawi się jako zagmatwana mozaika konkurencyjnych idei, licznych narracji na temat świata oraz roli, jaką ma w nim do odegrania człowiek. Wyrazem wspomnianych procesów jest transformacja rodziny, która przez wieki stanowiła swoistą przystań, dając jej członkom poczucie bezpieczeństwa w wymiarze psychologicznym i ekonomicznym. Dziś młodzi ludzie nierzadko odraczają stworzenie trwałego związku bądź żyją w pojedynkę, co wpisuje się w klimat współczesności, gdzie elastyczność i mobilność stanowią wartości same w sobie. Jednak człowiek jako istota społeczna, wybrawszy samotność lub będąc na nią skazanym, doświadcza wyalienowania, dla którego przeciwwagą jest potencjał wspólnototwórczy tkwiący w kulturze. Obecnie, jak nigdy wcześniej, istnieją nieograniczone możliwości zrzeszania się we wspólnotach tradycyjnych bądź zawiązywanych poprzez media społecznościowe, nie wspominając już o efemerycznych ruchach zwoływanych ad hoc. Wydaje się, że w zglobalizowanym i wysoce złożonym świecie klasyczna idea dobra wspólnego (bonum commune) czeka na nowe odczytanie. Wskazują na to współautorzy książki, reprezentujący trzy ośrodki akademickie. Łukasz Szwejka jest pracownikiem Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, Bogdan Więckiewicz – Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego w Krakowie, natomiast Piotr T. Nowakowski – Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego. Podjęte przez nich rozważania, oparte na bogatym materiale empirycznym, sytuują się na pograniczu pedagogiki, socjologii, familiologii i filozofii.
Zachowania informacyjne człowieka w kontekście zjawiska epistemicznej bańki informacyjnej. Propozycja nowej koncepcji
Authors: Krakowska Monika
Published: October 2023

Zasadniczym celem rozważań przedstawionych w tej książce jest zaproponowanie nowego konceptu – epistemicznej bańki informacyjnej – stworzonego na potrzeby teoretycznych i empirycznych dociekań w obszarze zachowań informacyjnych. Koncepcja ta, charakteryzująca określone zjawisko w kontekście aktywności informacyjnych, poprzez wnikliwą analizę różnorodnych modeli, teorii i założeń ugruntowanych w interdyscyplinarnym ujęciu nauki o informacji, powinna otworzyć nową i szerszą perspektywę dla eksploracji zachowań informacyjnych. Ma być pewnego rodzaju metateoretycznym spoiwem łączącym różnorodne podejścia, m.in. społeczne, afektywne, kognitywne, a także stanowić wielowymiarowy element empirycznie rozwijanych badań dotyczących reakcji i interakcji człowieka z informacją. Stanowi zatem prolegomena do holistycznego, wieloaspektowego i harmonijnego, poprzez ujednolicenie i usystematyzowanie różnych aspektów zachowań informacyjnych, spojrzenia zarówno na wielowymiarowy obszar wybranego kierunku badań informatologii, jak i na wszelkie, dynamicznie ewoluujące zjawiska związane z ludzką sprawczością oraz procesami informacyjnymi podejmowanymi przez człowieka w infosferze.
Gossiping with interference in radio ring networks
Authors: Bermond Jean-Claude , Kodate Takako , Yu Joseph
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we study the problem of gossiping with interference constraint in radio ring networks. Gossiping (or total exchange information) is a protocol where each node in the network has a message and is expected to distribute its own message to every other node in the network. The gossiping problem consists in finding the minimum running time (makespan) of a gossiping protocol and algorithms that attain this makespan. We focus on the case where the transmission network is a ring network. We consider synchronous protocols where it takes one unit of time (step) to transmit a unit-length message. During one step, a node receives at most one message only through one of its two neighbors. We also suppose that, during one step, a node cannot be both a sender and a receiver (half duplex model). Moreover communication is subject to interference constraints. We use a primary node interference model where, if a node receives a message from one of its neighbors, its other neighbor cannot send at the same time. With these assumptions we completely solve the problem for ring networks. We first show lower bounds and then give gossiping algorithms which meet these lower bounds and so are optimal. The number of rounds depends on the congruences of n modulo 12.
Political Trust of the Russian Youth Through the Prism of Communication Strategies Choice
Authors: Popova Olga V. , Grishin Nikolai V.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the political trust of Russian youth in the context of their representatives’ choice of channels for obtaining political information. The study contributes to the research of theoretical problems of political trust formation under the spread of modern communication means. The impact of the spread of new media on political trust of Russian youth is considered. The article is based on the results of two empirical studies conducted in the fall of 2022: a mass online survey of Russian youth and an expert survey. The mass online survey was based on the online questionnaire method, while conducting an expert survey, the method of non-standardized interview was used to collect information, and the method of discourse analysis was used for processing. The results of the study revealed the differentiation of communication strategies in different socio-demographic and status groups of generations x and z. It is confirmed that the choice of new media as the main information sources about politics is in line with the trend of political trust decreasing. Russian youth are characterized by very low levels of trust in public opinion leaders; by this, it was possible to identify significant intra-generational splits. The communication strategies of the representatives of Russian youth also testify to the crisis of the two-step flow of communication model.
