Interval parking functions are a generalization of parking functions in which
cars have an interval preference for their parking. We generalize this
definition to parking functions with $n$ cars and $m\geq n$ parking spots,
which we call interval rational parking functions and provide a formula for
their enumeration. By specifying an integer parameter $\ell\geq 0$, we then
consider the subset of interval rational parking functions in which each car
parks at most $\ell$ spots away from their initial preference. We call these
$\ell$-interval rational parking functions and provide recursive formulas to
enumerate this set for all positive integers $m\geq n$ and $\ell$. We also
establish formulas for the number of nondecreasing $\ell$-interval rational
parking functions via the outcome map on rational parking functions. We also
consider the intersection between $\ell$-interval parking functions and Fubini
rankings and show the enumeration of these sets is given by generalized
Fibonacci numbers. We conclude by specializing $\ell=1$, and establish that the
set of $1$-interval rational parking functions with $n$ cars and $m$ spots are
in bijection with the set of barred preferential arrangements of $[n]$ with
$m-n$ bars. This readily implies enumerative formulas. Further, in the case
where $\ell=1$, we recover the results of Hadaway and Harris that unit interval
parking functions are in bijection with the set of Fubini rankings, which are
enumerated by the Fubini numbers.

Published: November 2024

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine empirische Untersuchung der Spracherwerbsprozesse fortgeschrittener DaF-Lernender in Austauschaufenthalten dargestellt. Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht die Frage, wie Studierendenaustausch im Zielland den Spracherwerb fortgeschrit- tener Deutschlernender fördert. Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurden fünf serbische Ger- manistikstudierende interviewt, die im Rahmen des Erasmus+-Programms ein Semester an einer deutschen Partneruniversität verbracht haben. Anhand der erhobenen Interviewdaten wurde eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse mit dem Ziel durchgeführt, die Spracherwerbsprozesse zu rekonstruieren, um die Bedeutung des Studierendenaustauschs und seiner förderlichen Kom- ponenten für den Fremdsprachenerwerb im Zielsprachenland zu identifizieren. In der Studie konnte der positive Einfluss der Austauscherfahrung auf die Sprachkompetenz der Studierenden dokumentiert und der Erwerbsprozess rekonstruiert werden. Der Fremdsprachenerwerb der Germanistikstudierenden fand vor allem in Interaktionen in universitären Veranstaltungen, aber auch in der Freizeit statt. Neben der Allgegenwärtigkeit der deutschen Sprache konnten im Rahmen der Analyse weitere förderliche Faktoren herausgearbeitet werden. Diese beziehen sich auf die Organisation der Lehre sowie des Lehr- und Lernprozesses durch Lehrende, aber auch auf das Engagement und die Steuerung des Lernprozesses durch Lernende.
Gersdorffit, tyrolit a Bi-minerály z žilné Cu mineralizace z lomu Smrčník u Lipové-lázní u Jeseníku (Česká republika)
Authors: Dolníček Zdeněk , Nepejchal Miroslav , Vrtiška Luboš
Published: November 2024

A previously unknown primary Ni-As-Bi and supergene As-Bi mineralization was found in the active marble quarry Smrčník located 2 km WNW of the village of Lipová-Lázně, 7 km WNW of Jeseník, Rychlebské hory Mountains, Czech Republic. An electron-microprobe study of newly collected samples from a weakly Cu-mineralized quartz-carbonate vein cutting the marbles showed the presence of gersdorffite, bismuthinite, an unidentified Cu-Bi sulphide, bismite, and tyrolite, which were not known from the wider area. The microscopic grains of gersdorffite are part of primary ore mineralization of the studied vein with prevailing chalcopyrite, which is in places rimmed by chalcocite and djurleite. Nickel is partly replaced especially by Co (0.002 - 0.246 apfu) and Fe (0.030 - 0.158 apfu), less by Cu (0.008 - 0.038 apfu), whereas arsenic is weakly substituted by Sb (0.008 - 0.083 apfu) and in part of collected analyses by Bi (0.001 - 0.033 apfu) in the studied gersdorffite. All mentioned Bi minerals hosted by chalcopyrite were recorded in a single aggregate only. The blue-green tyrolite is a rare compound of supergene mineral assemblage of the same vein. Its chemical composition is characterized by small contents of S (0.050 - 0.248 apfu), P (0.052 - 0.104 apfu), and mostly also Cl (0.022 - 0.070 apfu). The new findings suggest much richer mineralogical and chemical variability of primary (hypogene) mineralization of hydrothermal veins, than was indicated by previous studies in the wider area.

Authors: Bureš Bohuslav
Published: November 2024

Very rare hydrated calcium arsenate, mineral ferrarisite, was found at the adit K4-2/1-3C (4th vein, level of the Gallery No. 2) of the abandoned uranium deposit Zálesí, Rychlebské hory Mountains, Silesia, Czech Republic. Ferrarisite occurs as colorless to white crystalline aggregates up to 9 × 6 mm with pearly lustre, formed by elongated tabular crystals resting on supergene altered carbonate gangue with nickelskutterudite and rammelsbergite. Associated minerals are arsenolite, annabergite, picropharmacolite, pharmacolite and guérinite. Ferrarisite is triclinic, space group P-1, the unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data are: a 18.2918(16), b 6.7217(13), c 11.190(2) Å, α 106.206(14)o, β 92.923(16)o, γ 99.166(15)o and V 588.2(2) Å3. Chemical analyses of ferrarisite correspond to the empirical formula (Ca5.00Ni0.01)Σ5.01(AsO3OH)1.99(AsO4)2.01·9H2O on the basis of As 4 apfu. The origin of ferraristie is interpreted as product of (sub)recent supergene alteration of primary arsenides in calcite gangue in environment of abandoned mine adits.
Charakteristika měděného slitku ze zlatého dolu na Zlatém vrchu v Mníšku pod Brdy (střední Čechy, Česká republika)
Authors: Dolníček Zdeněk , Velebil Dalibor , Vodrážka Radek
Published: November 2024

A copper pig with dimensions 3.3 × 2.3 × 1.7 cm and weighing 25 g was found together with few iron artefacts (several mining chisels, several fragments of mining hoes, a hook) in dump material of ancient gold mine at the Zlatý vrch Hill near Mníšek pod Brdy town, central Bohemia, Czech Republic. The gold mines were in operation in the surrounding area in the 15-16th centuries with some later attempts in 18th century. A material characterization of the copper artefact, based on reflected light microscopy and electron microprobe study, is presented in this paper. The composition can be roughly approximated as an As-poor Cu-As alloy, with predominating matrix composed of low-As copper and most impurities being concentrated in intergranular spaces of low-As copper grains, where domeykite and inclusions of native lead were identified. The copper matrix contains 1.54 - 2.23 wt. % As, and low Sb and Ni. Strongly substituted domeykite (Cu3As) contains high Sb (9.3 - 15.6 wt. %) and lesser amounts of Pb, Ni, S, Ag, Sn, and Fe. Metallic lead is characterized by elevated contents of Bi, Ag, Sb, Cl, and S. In addition, a discontinuous rim with composition close to cuprite (Cu2O), locally containing inclusions of a Sb-As oxide, was identified on the surface of the copper pig. The element assemblage observed in the studied metallic artefact may indicate the source of the copper ore in the neighbouring base-metal (Ag-Pb-Zn) Příbram ore area, however, there are not known indications of historical smelting of sporadically occurring copper ores in the Příbram area. Therefore, we suggest that the studied artefact likely has more distal provenance.

Authors: Sejkora Jiří , Plášil Jakub
Published: November 2024

We studied a rare magnesium uranyl sulphate mineral, chenowethite, from the Jáchymov ore district, Krušné hory Mountains (Czech Republic). It was confirmed from the two samples originating from the Svornost mine in Jáchymov. Chenowethite forms rich crystalline aggregates on supergene-altered rocks in association with dark yellow to orange mineral of the zippeite group and white acicular crystals of gypsum. Its randomly arranged aggregates are composed of elongated thin tabular crystals up to 100 μm in length. Chenowethite is pale or bright yellow with a pale yellow streak and fluoresces greenish yellow, weak or dull under 254 nm and 366 nm UV-radiation, respectively. Chenowethite crystals are transparent to translucent and have an intensive vitreous luster. It is very brittle, and at least one system of perfect cleavage (along {010}) was observed. The quantitative chemical analyses of chenowethite agree well with the proposed ideal composition and correspond to the following empirical formulae (on the basis of 2 U atoms pfu) (Mg1.02Fe0.03Mn0.03)Σ1.08[(UO2)2(SO4)2.06 (OH)2.04]·11H2O (sample A) and (Mg0.92Fe0.11Mn0.04Zn0.01)Σ1.08[(UO2)2(SO4)1.96(SiO4)0.01(OH)2.23]·11H2O (sample B). Chenowethite is orthorhombic, the space group Cmcm, with the unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data: a 6.9329(8), b 19.0019(15), c 16.3298(15) Å and V 2151.2(3) Å3 (sample A) and a 6.937(3), b 19.019(5), c 16.348(6) Å and V 2156.8(1.1) Å3 (sample B). Vibrational (Raman and infrared) spectroscopy documents the presence of molecular water, uranyl and sulphate units in the crystal structure of chenowethite.

Authors: Pažout Richrad , Maixner Jaroslav
Published: November 2024

A rare intermediate member of the scorodite - strengite series with an extraordinarily high degree of the anionic P for As substitution, technically a scorodite extremely rich in phosporus, scorodite56 - strengite41 (Scd56 - Stg41), was found and identified from mine dump material of the Rejzské pásmo Lode of the Kutná Hora ore district, Czech Republic. The mineral forms fine-grained, light brownish yellow crystalline masses and coatings, several milimeters in thickness on areas of tens of cm2 on the surface of drusy quartz gangue with partially corroded galena and arsenopyrite. Chemical analyses revealed substantial amount of anionic phosphorus substituting for arsenic, ranging from 39.0 to 44.1 at. % of P (mean 41.0 %). Its chemical composition (mean of nine point analyses) corresponds to the empirical formula (Fe3+0.93Al0.03Pb0.01)Σ0.97[(As0.56P0.41S0.03)Σ1.00O4.00]·2H2O. Such a scope of the P for As substitution in members of the scorodite - strengite series is rare and exceptional. X-ray powder diffraction data, unit-cell parameters and space group for the intermediate member are reported [a = 8.844(2) Å, b = 9.969(2) Å, c = 10.247(2) Å, unit-cell volume V = 903.39 Å3, Z = 8 and space group Pbca]. No discontinuation of the solid solution between scorodite and strengite has been observed, X-ray powder difraction analysis unambiguously confirmed the existence of a single phase representing an intermediate member.

Economic growth is based on a healthy and solid investment cycle, especially for micro and small entrepreneurs. In this case, regulations related to investment in micro and small businesses do not fully reflect the equal relationship between medium and large business stakeholders and micro and small businesses. In preparing this article, the author used a normative juridical method that requires accurate data to be able to analyze existing legal problems, both in the form of primary data and secondary data. This research finds problems related to what factors are needed by the government to develop MSE investment from a progressive legal political perspective. This research uses a literature review method with a normative legal approach to statutory regulations. Based on this analysis, to increase the competitiveness of Micro and Small Enterprises in the implementation of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation from a political-legal perspective, an innovative government strategy is needed. This can be done by increasing the morality of Business Actors in accordance with the values of the Fifth Principle of Pancasila. In increasing the competitiveness of MSEs in the Legal Politics of the Job Creation Law, there needs to be a progressive Government strategy, namely by fostering greater morality of business actors, as mandated in the Principles. fifth. This can be achieved by recognizing progressive factors in the Government, namely: 1) Stabilizers; 2) Facilitator; 3) Regulators; and 4) Catalyst. This will accelerate the growth of Micro and Small Businesses efficiently and competitively without relying on the government on a large scale.

Published: November 2024

The present study aims to investigate the selective tax by analyzing its normativestructure, as well as the constitutional control methods applicable to this type of tax.To this end, an analysis was conducted on the selective tax established by Constitutional Amendment No. 132/2023, examining its main aspects, such as thescope of normative incidence, the breadth of the term "harmful to health and theenvironment," and its extrafiscal nature and purpose. Additionally, a comparativeanalysis with other legal systems was carried out to understand how this type of tax isutilized in other countries. Following this analysis, the criteria for controlling extrafiscalnorms through equality and proportionality were addressed, aiming to establish acriterion to be observed when the selective tax, as an extrafiscal tax, undergoesconstitutional control and verification.

Published: November 2024

Future epidemics are perceived as inevitable. Dissemination of information can enhance awareness, serving as an initial stride towards fostering desired epidemic-controlling actions among the public. In this study, a qualitative content analysis of Covid-19- and Switzerland-related social media and blog contributions points at a limited adoption of public health key messages and a negative reputation of the informing authorities. The authorities are to a marginal extent the source of information and a controversial sentiment towards vaccination emerges. In addition, we find a large share of disseminated information that is not conducive to pandemic containment. Within this, a substantial volume of misinformation emerges in statements on Covid-19-related issues. The misinformation consists primarily of unsubstantiated health consequences of the Covid-19 vaccination (both efficacy and side effects), and, less often, of trivialisation or denial of the pandemic. Furthermore, in a phase of political campaigning on a Covid-law referendum in Switzerland, social media contributors often portray pandemic containment as an undue, unlawful, or autocratic imposition on individual and collective freedom, and as a tool deployed for political repression. In addition, the pandemic or its containment are embedded in various conspiracies by users and containment measures are contested with religious, naturopathic or esoteric arguments.

Authors: Sagnay Illapa Beatriz Edelina
Published: November 2024

Neurodidactics combines neuroscience and education to understand how the brain functions during the learning process, providing pedagogical strategies based on this knowledge to optimize teaching. This study implemented a set of multisensory educational games with children aged 4 to 5 over six months, aiming to compare their cognitive, emotional, and motor development with another group that received traditional instruction. The results enabled an assessment of the impact of neurodidactic strategies on children's learning, analyzing how these approaches can enhance cognitive skills, emotional regulation, and physical development compared to conventional methods, thus contributing to a more comprehensive education.
THE DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES OF ENVIRONMENTALLY
CONSCIOUS OPERATION THROUGH THE EXAMPLE OF THE CITY OF
DEBRECEN
Authors: CSIPKÉS Margit
Published: November 2024

In this research material, I review the energy policy of the municipality of Debrecen
today and its impact on the future. Compliance with the Environmental Protection Programs
is important for the municipality of Debrecen, in which a new environmental protection policy
was developed for the city in addition to the existing ones. At the end of 2023, the city of
Debrecen established the Green Working Group, the task of which is to operate an
environment-conscious, climate-friendly and family-friendly environment in addition to the
structure and operation of companies settling in Debrecen. Recently, the Green Code was
created in the city of Debrecen, which envisages a livable environment for the residents so
that economic development goals can also be achieved. In my research, I cover the Civaqua
program, green urban mobility, the topic of carbon neutrality, and the development of a green
approach in Debrecen city management. Since several well-known foreign companies have
settled in Debrecen in the past short period (battery factory and its subcontractor groups,
automotive factories, etc.), I think it is appropriate to examine the role of the Debrecen
Municipality in remedying the situation. The topics mentioned in my presentation regarding
Debrecen are the following: waste collection, water use, climate, industrial water supply, air
cleanliness, and the examination of the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air.
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL EFFICIENCY FOR ARABLE CROP
FARMS IN HUNGARY
Authors: MAKAI Szabolcs , LAKATOS Vilmos
Published: November 2024

Our study is a thematic analysis of the literature on working capital, aiming to
present the latest research and interpretations on working capital management. In the
second part of the paper, we present an assessment of capital adequacy and working
capital efficiency and their results, based on our own data collection and compared with the
findings of the literature. There is a substantial international literature on the impact of
working capital, which examines the returns and the impact on profitability of the stock of
inventories, the turnover of various current assets and the cycle days associated with
working capital management. In our study, we used these aspects to select asset
endowment and turnover-income profitability indicators from the EMIS database for
Hungarian arable crop farms, searching for correlations by regression analysis for three
years 2018, 2020 and 2022. Our results show that working capital endowment specifically
showed significant correlations with operating revenue in all three years, while the other
explanatory variables mostly gave significant correlations only for the year 2022. The size
of the Hungarian agricultural economy is specifically characterised by micro and small
enterprises, therefore we categorised the enterprises into micro, small, medium and large
enterprises based on the value of their assets and their revenue. The number of enterprises
specifically engaged in cereal and oilseed production by size category thus differed
significantly, and multivariate regression was no longer possible for the two larger
categories. In these cases, correlation analysis preceded regression analysis. Examining
working capital efficiency by firm size, small farms showed significant correlations with
profitability, but they also tended to do so only for the year 2022.
THE FIELD OF ACTIVITY AND INNOVATION – AN EMPIRICAL
ANALYSIS IN EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: MEȘTER Ioana , GAVRILUȚ Darie
Published: November 2024

The current business environment is characterized by high competition between
companies as well as global challenges and growing technological progress. Businesses
must constantly adapt to changes in the business environment, changes in the market
environment and the constantly changing requirements of customers. The purpose of this
article is to point out the major gaps across eight former communist East-European
countries in what regards the innovation: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary,
Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. In order to compare the trends in hat regards
innovation in Eastern European countries we have first collected data for four innovation
indicators for each East European country, separately for each field of activity. We have
computed variation coefficients that revealed the fields of activity with the highest and/or
lowest gaps across selected countries. Our conclusion is that Eastern Europe is increasingly
becoming a hotspot for innovation, with countries in the region making significant progress
in various aspects of innovation-driven development. By leveraging their strengths,
addressing challenges, and capitalizing on opportunities, Eastern European countries can
further enhance their innovation performance, competitiveness, and sustainable growth in
the global innovation landscape.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: RUSU Ștefan , BOLOȘ Marcel
Published: November 2024

This paper aims to present a concentrated overview of innovative research in
machine learning clustering techniques as applied to to different facets of financial markets
and stock market investing. Research on techniques such as K-Means Clustering or
Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering and their derivatives play a pivotal role in augmenting
the stock market research and investment strategies. Wheter it is time series clustering and
prediction, portfolio selection and optimization, or risk management, machine learning
clustering has potential to enhance already existing processes by improving performance,
reducing time spent on repetitive tasks or mitigating human errors. A truly innovative tool in
the investor’s toolset, it is imperative to not overlook its limitations, such as the necessity of
selecting the appropriate technique for specific datasets, or the need for human supervision
to maximize its utility and insights extracted.

ON PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION
Authors: RUSU Ștefan , BOLOȘ Marcel
Published: November 2024

Portfolio optimization plays a crucial role in investment decision-making by
balancing risk and return objectives. With the aim of improving portfolio performance, while
enhancing risk management, this literature review explores traditional and artificial
intelligence-powered approaches for portfolio optimization. From the traditional methods of
portfolio optimization, methods such as random matrix theory, shrinkage estimators,
correlation asymmetries and partial correlation networks are presented. While, from the
artificial intelligence realm, techniques such as machine learning efficient frontiers,
performance-based regularization, neural network predictors and deep learning models for
direct optimization of portfolio Sharpe ratio are highlighted. Intertwining the traditional
methods, with artificial intelligence techniques, this review highlights relevant portfolio
optimization research useful for academics and practitioners alike.

Published: November 2024

Brands are becoming more and more important for enterprises that spend
significant amounts on building strong ones. Howewer, the value of brands and the way it
should be represented in financial reports is still controversial. Our general objective is to
present a calculation method able to estimate brand value that we establish for the
calculation method of Interbrand corporation and results of our own survey research. Our
specific objective in the course of analysis is to determine Daimler AG Mercedes-Benz’s
and Nestlé cereal’s brand value based on data of 2022. Firstly we calculated the so-called
Economic Value of researched enterprises by analysing their financial reports. Applying the
results from our survey research we determined the role of brand plays in gaining EVA,
which is Brand Income. Finally we calculated a ratio using WACC which we discounted the
Brand Income with we obtained the Brand Value. Our survey research is assembled
according to Keller’s Brand Equity Model. During our research we have confirmed our
hypothesis that people filling the survey consider brand to be a more important purchasing
aspect in case of Mercedes-Benz than Nestlé cereals; purchasing Nestlé cereals
respondents consider brand as the most important purchasing aspect out of the given list;
respondents choose analysed brands contra unknown ones which has the same features
and price. Final results show that Mercedes-Benz and Nestlé cereals have strong brand
knowledge, the Mercedes brand value was several times higher, while the difference
between these brand values caused by not the different financial performance but rather
the devation of brand power and strength of the analysed manifacture companies.
AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
DISCLOSURE PRACTICES. THE CASE OF ROMANIAN PRIVATE
LISTED COMPANIES
Authors: TÖRÖK Réka Melinda
Published: November 2024

The research aimed to identify and evaluate the level of disclosure of accounting
estimates in the annual reports of companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB)
on the premium segment. Excluding the banking sector and suspended companies from the
total premium companies, 55 companies were identified in the sample. The companies'
annual reports for 2018-2022 were analyzed to identify accounting estimates and any
changes in these estimates. For each business, a score of 1 was assigned for changes in
estimates and 0 for non-change. Using qualitative research methods, the set of data on
accounting estimates was obtained by examining public information in the notes to the
annual financial statements. The analysis of descriptive statistics was carried out to interpret
the data, classifying companies according to turnover, total assets, average number of
employees, and net result. Companies were also clustered into three categories, and the
analysis highlighted industries with varying levels of disclosure. These findings provide
insights into the level of disclosure of accounting estimates among Romanian companies
listed on BVB, with stakeholder involvement and policy development for sustainable
economic development.
