Fidel Castro’s Silesian visit in press and archival sources
Authors: Całus Krzysztof M.
Published: June 2024

In this article, the author analyzes the image of Fidel Castro and his visit to Silesia on June 7–8, 1972, which was part of the Cuban delegation stay in the Polish People's Republic on June 6–13, 1972, emerging from press reports and archival materials. During this period, the press played a propaganda role in Poland, creating the image of political reality in a way desired by the state authorities. In this context, the Cuban delegation’s visit in Poland was a performance directed by the authorities, whose participants were Polish and Cuban politicians, crowds welcoming the guests, as well as officers of the Citizens' Militia and the Security Service taking part in the operation of securing the visit. Archival sources allow us to get to know the backstage of this visit. The author tries to make a comparative analysis and a synthesis of two different images of those events, as well as to draw conclusions about the boundary between the creator and the recipient of propaganda.
Regional education in Szczekociny and Lelów
Authors: Sitek Katarzyna
Published: June 2024

Regional education helps, to a certain extent, to establish a young person in the surrounding world and to understand the acquired content in relation to familiar phenomena. This article aims to discuss the methods concerning regional education used at the School Complex in Szczekociny and the Elementary School in Lelow. These schools are bound by the figure of Mirosław Skrzypczyk, a Polish language teacher who works to disseminate and develop culture and science concerning the local (Lelów and Szczekociny municipalities) cultural heritage. The method used was to conduct an exhaustive personal interview with Mirosław Skrzypczyk on regional education. As a result of the data obtained, issues from lectures on regionalism beyond the core curriculum, implemented by the Polish language teacher within the framework of lessons, as well as a variety of activities that combine work inside and outside the school, were presented. Didactic projects organized at Szczekociny High School not only implement knowledge from all four pillars of regional education content but also develop universal skills and values necessary for a conscious member of the community. Some described methods engage students, give them a sense of agency and social responsibility, and develop identity and self-reliance. The entire study is set in a theoretical framework concerning the semantics and the definition of the term "regionalism", as well as the development of regional education in Poland starting from the 1920s.

Authors:   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS, Bereznyov I. G.
Published: June 2024

Small single-industry towns are one of the most important units of the state structure of Russia. At the same time, there are a number of problems that hinder its full and systematic development. The most discussed issues in the study of single-industry towns are the “smallness” of small towns and elaboration of their development strategies. To understand the nature and causes of these problems, the article examines theoretical and normative aspects of the concept of a small municipality, as well as raises the issue of defining clear terminology and types of small cities. The main development problems of single-industry towns were identified. Current socio-economic indicators of Russian single-industry towns were assessed.

Authors:   Industrial University of Tyumen, Gureva M. A. , Yurak V. V. ,   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS,   Ural State Mining University
Published: June 2024

A high environmental intelligence as an integral part of human capital implies the ability of an individual to understand the impact of their actions on the environment, which is especially important in companies that are (potentially) hazardous to the environment, including representatives of the oil and gas industry. The issue of assessing environmental intelligence is considered as complex and controversial by a number of researchers. An analysis of scientific information sources demonstrated the lack of a methodology for assessing environmental intelligence of enterprise employees. In this regard, the article presents an algorithm for assessing environmental intelligence in the oil and gas industry.

Zermelo Game
Authors: Bernardi Luigi
Published: June 2024

This paper presents the software Zermelo Game, a free online game designed to support educational activities related to sets and quantifiers. The presentation of the game is accompanied by pilot tests concerning its application in various contexts: from the beginning of primary school to the end of high school. We will describe the mathematical and educational framework behind the software, how the software works and how it was used during classroom activities. The trial runs suggest some findings which merit future research endeavours. The most important findings, in our view, concern the role of the game in promoting collaborative and reflective processes, i.e., the discussions among students themselves as well as between teachers and students regarding why a certain statement is or is not true.
Bayesian Knowledge Tracing Implemented in a Telecommunications Serious Game
Authors: Nedombeloni Halatedzi , Heymann Reolyn , Greeff Japie
Published: June 2024

The University of Johannesburg has integrated serious games into its teaching, exemplified by Codebreakers, a 2D game teaching information theory. While successful, Codebreakers lacked personalisation and used a criticised assessment method based on answer streaks. Knowledge tracing algorithms, known for their effectiveness in intelligent tutoring systems, were considered to address these limitations. This led to the research question: "Can a new serious game be designed, incorporating knowledge tracing algorithms to deliver personalised learning experiences in telecommunications education?" In response, an escape-themed serious game was developed, integrating Bayesian Knowledge Tracing as a statistical student model for personalised learning. This innovative approach combines free-roam gameplay with tailored educational content, significantly advancing serious game design. While primarily aimed at enhancing Codebreakers, this new game contributes substantially to serious game theory by successfully implementing personalised learning within an engaging format. The project showcases the potential of knowledge tracing algorithms in creating adaptive, student-centered learning experiences within the context of educational games.
Can ChatGPT Match the Experts? A Feedback Comparison for Serious Game Development
Authors: Tyni Janne , Turunen Aatu , Kahila Juho , Bednarik Roman , Tedre Matti
Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the potential and validity of ChatGPT as a tool to generate meaningful input for the serious game design process. Baseline input was collected from game designers, students and teachers via surveys, individual interviews and group discussions inspired by a description of a simple educational drilling game and its context of use. In these mixed methods experiments, two recent large language models (ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0) were prompted with the same description to validate findings with expert participants. In addition, the impact on the models’ suggestions from integrating the expert’s role (e.g., "Answer as if you were a teacher.", "game designer", or a "student") into the prompt was investigated. The findings of these comparative analyses show that the input from both human expert participants and large language models can produce overlapping input in some expert groups. However, experts put emphasis on different categories of input and produce unique viewpoints. This research opens the discussion on the trustworthiness of large language model generated input for serious game development.

Театр в городе будущего: строительство и сотворчество
Authors: Шарова Вероника Леонтьевна
Published: June 2024

Раннесоветское искусство 1920-х первой половины 1930-х годов представляло собой широкое поле экспериментов, которые затронули все без исключения сферы — литературу, кинематограф, изобразительное искусство; не стал исключением и театр.
В статье рассматривается, как в первое послереволюционное десятилетие формировался образ нового театра в качестве социальной практики, политического явления и элемента городского ландшафта. Новое представление о том, чем является — и должен быть — театр, было сформулировано теоретиками пролеткульта, в том числе Анатолием Луначарским и Александром Богдановым, а также автором книги «Творческий театр» Платоном Керженцевым, предположившим, что «новый театр созидается... коммуной городом, деревней, кварталом, заводом, фабричным поселком, Советом, самой массой». Предложенная Керженцевым концепция «соседских театров», созданных соседями пролетарского квартала, фабричного поселка и т.д., соотносится в статье с современной концепцией урбанистики — идеей соучаствующего проектирования. В контексте проблематики статьи также анализируется понятие «гетеротопия», введенное Мишелем Фуко для описания мест, обладающих свойствами пространства переходного типа. По Фуко, именно городские пространства обладают наиболее интенсивно выраженными признаками гетеротопии, в их числе кладбища, музеи, тюрьмы, театры. Сделан вывод, что театр нового типа, создававшийся в эпоху радикального перехода от одного типа политического общежития к другому, был трансгрессивным явлением в организационном, дискурсивном и пространственном смыслах. То же можно сказать и о новом типе городского развития, предложенном идеологами и архитекторами в начале 1920-х годов.
Некоторые размышления о городской теме в драматургии Л. М. Леонова
Authors: Воробьев Андрей Александрович
Published: June 2024

В настоящей работе представлена художественно-философская интерпретация проблемы города и его жителей на материале пьес русского советского писателя Л. М. Леонова «Унтиловск» и «Золотая карета» («город» понимается в данном случае и как структура мышления, и как культурно-географическая единица).
Одной из основ рассуждений является тезис, выдвинутый советской историографией, согласно которому вся драматургия классика — антимещанская по сути. Выясняются идейно-идеологические основания отмеченного тезиса (например, метод социалистического реализма, в рамках которого формулировалось подобное положение), производится уточняющая критика специальной историографии (автор статьи стоит на позиции пессимистической интерпретации трудов Л. М. Леонова).
Городская тема в отмеченных пьесах высвечена в виде линейной схемы — как своеобразных точек входа и выхода в драматургии Л. М. Леонова. Показано, как драматург освещает начальный этап трансформации мещанства в первые годы советской власти («Унтиловск») и к каким выводам приходит в середине 1940-х годов («Золотая карета»), давая намеками ответ на вопрос о том, что такое «новый советский человек», выведенный за 30 лет интенсивной модернизации социальных отношений.
Как я пришел к теории центральных мест: рассказ о том, как может возникнуть теория и как в моем случае она возникла
Authors: Кристаллер Вальтер
Published: June 2024

В своей статье Вальтер Кристаллер рассказывает о личном и научном пути, который привел его к формулированию теории центральных мест, краеугольной концепции в пространственной экономике и городском планировании. Становление Кристаллера как ученого с самого начала происходило на пересечении целого ряда научных областей: географии, статистики, социологии, экономики. Его участие в Союзе немецких земельных реформаторов дало ему практический опыт в области городского планирования, который сыграл решающую роль в формулировании его теории.
В статье описывается развитие Кристаллером теории центрального места во время его работы в Эрлангене. Он представляет свой методологический подход, сочетающий теоретическую строгость с эмпирическими наблюдениями, чтобы объяснить распределение и функции центральных мест в регионе. Теория Кристаллера, первоначально встреченная со скептицизмом, в конечном итоге получила признание и одобрение, проиллюстрировав значительный междисциплинарный путь, соединивший географию с экономической теорией. Повествование Кристаллера не только подчеркивает эволюцию его научной мысли, но и отражает более широкое академическое и практическое применение географического и экономического планирования. Его размышления дают ценное представление о междисциплинарной природе географических и экономических исследований, а также о личных и профессиональных контекстах, которые играют важную роль в развитии научных теорий.
Unlocking the Influence of Training on Language Instructors’ Written Corrective Feedback Literacy
Authors: Kır Pınar , Yigitoglu Aptoula Nur
Published: June 2024

This study examined the formation of writing instructors' written corrective feedback (WCF) philosophies and evaluated the effectiveness of a one-shot WCF training session in facilitating teacher transformation in WCF practices, a common professional development practice to train in- service language instructors at universities. Four writing instructors, with varying levels of experience and educational background, teaching in a school of foreign languages in Türkiye volunteered for the study. Prior to the training, seven essays that the instructors provided WCF for were collected. To expand their knowledge of WCF, the instructors then participated in a one-hour WCF training program, which covered types of WCF, forms of WCF, stages of WCF, the benefits of WCF, and some helpful tips for WCF. After the training, the instructors assessed and provided WCF for an additional seven essays. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and WCF analysis of essays and analyzed using a rubric including all themes covered in the training and a thematic analysis of interview themes. The results suggested instructors' WCF philosophies were shaped by a combination of experience, school policies, and master's education. Furthermore, while the one-shot training program did not entirely transform the instructors' WCF philosophies, it had some impact on their practices.

Upcycling of Spent Copper Wires for Photocatalysis and Supercapacitor Applications
Authors: Yudha Cornelius Satria , Apriliyani Enni , Arinawati Meidiana
Published: June 2024

In this study, copper wires were upcycled as copper oxide (CuO) powder through hydrometallurgical and biotreatment processes, which are economically and environmentally attractive. Lactic acid, an organic weak acid, is chosen as the lixiviant to improve the sustainability of the leaching process; meanwhile, Camellia sinensis leaf extract is chosen for the biogenesis of CuO particles. The leaching behavior was investigated. A crystallized Cu powder was successfully generated during the biogenesis process, which became the precursor to CuO. The sintering of Cu resulted in high crystalline CuO particles with monoclinic structure (space group C2/c) based on several characterization methods such as X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy. SEM images exhibited the submicron secondary particle with a raspberry-like shape of CuO and nanosized primary particles. The band gap of the as-prepared CuO is 3.17 eV. The as-prepared CuO particles were used as a photocatalyst and an active supercapacitor material. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated in a photodegradation process of acid orange 7 (AO7) and methyl orange (MO) dyes, which are considered harmful to the environment. The AO7 and MO photodegradation efficiency are 92.5 and 97.8, respectively. The electrochemical performance of CuO particles showed a pseudocapacitive behavior with a specific capacitance of 252 and 120 F/g at a current density of 0.5 and 5 A/g in 5 M of KOH electrolyte, respectively. This approach can be applied for numerous applications, specifically in overcoming heavy metal pollution from wide selections of metal-based wastes.

New Translations of Written Monuments of Caucasian Albania: Historical and Philological Analysis
Authors: Makhmudova S.M. , Muradyan A.A.
Published: June 2024

For many centuries, the history of the oldest state in the Eastern Caucasus was forgotten, there were no studies of Caucasian Albania, no mention of the fact that Albanians had their own written language, that the king of Albania was almost the first in the world to adopt Christianity as an official religion, although Greco-Roman sources (Strabo, Plutarch, Pliny the Elder, Arrian and others) wrote about this country. History knows Albania's wars with Pompey, Trajan and Alexander the Great. However, the history of Caucasian Albania cannot fade into oblivion, as monumental monuments of architecture still stand in modern Azerbaijan, Karabakh, Eretia and Dagestan. Our work will be devoted to the analysis of some written sources and artefacts containing inscriptions in Albanian.
Features of the Interpretative Analysis of Dialect Phraseological Units
Authors: Ibragimova M.O.
Published: June 2024

To understand the semantics of individual phraseological units of the Rutul, ways of transferring meaning into them, it is necessary to involve the material of its sub-standard units and languages of the Lezgian group, which will further contribute to solving the problems of comparative phraseology of the languages of the Lezgian group. The description of dialectal phraseology as a specific layer of lexicology is valuable for highlighting the history of the evolution of the mechanism of phrase formation of the Rutul language, which includes five dialects: Mukhad, which is the basis of the literary language being formed, Borch-Khnov, Ihrek, Muhrek and Shinaz. Dialectal phraseology differs from the national sphere in the cultural components of semantics, the nature of expressiveness, which is based on specific imagery, means of evaluation and the level of emotivity. This does not allow the use of standard techniques, the algorithm of which is well-established in science, for the semantic interpretation of dialectal phraseological units.

Authors: Martínez-Álvarez Carmen , Álvarez Martínez-Iglesias José María , Molina-Saorín Jesús
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo de investigación tiene como principal objetivo el estudio de la autoestima en los Menores Extranjeros No Acompañados (MENAS) y su relación con los comportamientos disruptivos. Está dirigido a profesionales sociales y educativos, con la intención de ampliar el conocimiento sobre este tema y mejorar la intervención y bienestar de los menores extranjeros. A lo largo de la investigación se analizará el uso de las siglas MENA en los titulares de la prensa española, a través de un análisis cualitativo de contenido. En él, se concluye que los medios de comunicación españoles poseen una cobertura variada sobre estos menores, aunque tienden a enfocarse en la delincuencia asociada a ellos. Suelen utilizar términos que sugieren a estos individuos como una amenaza o problema, lo que supone un impacto negativo en su autoestima. Es por ello que se destaca la importancia de la conciencia crítica hacia los medios de comunicación, así como la mejora de la autoestima en el desarrollo personal y la adaptación social, impactando positivamente en la reducción de las conductas disruptivas.

Authors: Ramarao M. , Laxman Rao K. , Santhi Sree M. , Raghuvardhan M.
Published: June 2024

Background: The study was to compare intrathecal isobaric ropivacaine and hyperbaric bupivacaine in terms of onset of sensory block, maximum height of sensory block, total sensory duration, onset of motor block, degree of motor block and duration of motor block, quality of anesthesia.
Methods: The 100 cases of ASA II undergoing elective lower segment caesarean section were taken for the study and divided into two groups. Group B patients received 2 ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally. Group R patients received 2ml of isobaric ropivacaine intrathecally. Patients were evaluated for onset and duration of sensory block, onset and duration of motor block, maximum height of sensory block, quality of anaesthesia, time to request for analgesia, hemodynamic parameters and side effects if any were studied.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in mean time to onset of sensory block. Maximum sensory height attained in group B ranged between T4 and T6, where as in group R, it ranged between T2 and T6 which was clinically and statistically highly significant (p<0.001). Total duration of sensory block in group B and in group R, which is not significant (p=0.068). Mean time onset of motor block was 4min in group B and 8 min in group R, (p<0.001). Duration of motor block was 155.20±14.95 min in group B and 94.10±8.31 min group R, which is clinically and statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Ropivacaine 15 mg (2 ml of 0.75% isobaric ropivacaine) provides comparable quality of sensory block but has slower onset and significantly shorter duration of motor block compared to bupivacaine.

Authors: Makhija Mahima , Bansal Alka , Jakhar Punam , Sharma Lokendra , Kumar Susheel , Gupta Dharmendra
Published: June 2024

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heterogeneous genetic cardiovascular disorder. Its pathophysiology involves left ventricular hypertrophy, increased fibrosis, hypercontractility, and reduced compliance. The symptomatic obstructive HCM presents as dyspnoea, syncope, chest pain, palpitations, arrhythmias, or sudden death, usually after provocative manoeuvres like exercise. Until April 2022, treatment options were disease non-specific like Beta blockers, Cardio-selective Calcium Channel Blockers, Dipyridamole, and Ranolazine. Mavacamten is a first-in-class, FDA-approved drug molecule for HCM. It works by selective and reversible inhibition of the cardiac myosin ATPase thereby decreasing the formation of actin- myosin cross- bridges in systole and diastole. The excessive actin-myosin cross-bridging is the hallmark of disease and is responsible for the compromised functioning of the heart in both the systole and diastole phase due to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and increased ventricular filling pressure respectively. Mavacamten acts by producing super-relaxed state of heart which is then translated into decreased LVOT obstruction and improved cardiac filling pressures thereby improving the functional capacity and symptoms in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage II, and III symptomatic or obstructive heart failure. Mavacamten is administered orally 2.5-15 mg per day with titration guided by lab investigations and clinical symptoms. Its bioavailability is 85%, undergoes metabolism by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 and is excreted mainly in urine. It is also an enzyme inducer and shows considerable drug interactions. Common adverse effects are dizziness and syncope. Sometimes the drug may worsen heart failure or completely block ventricular function. Mavacamten has raised hopes for the possibility of managing this potentially lethal intrigue disorder with medicines alone.
Study on analysis of gender trends among the first authors of publications on Kawasaki disease
Authors: Patel Heena , Bennet Cynthia , Muskawad Sakshi , Shareef Amina , Khan Muzamil , Kaur Snehdeep
Published: June 2024

Background: Kawasaki disease is an inflammatory disorder predominantly affecting children less than 5 years of age. If left untreated, it has the potential to cause life-threatening cardiac complications. There have been numerous articles published on it concerning various aspects of the disease over the last 20 years. Thus, the study aims to compare the number of male and female first authors for published Kawasaki disease articles and study whether there is any association between gender and country.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study wherein published articles on Kawasaki disease over the last 20 years were assessed and the names of their first authors determined. Subsequently, NamSor was used to establish the gender of the first author. ARIMA (Auto Regressive integrated moving average) was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Data evaluation demonstrated that 51% were male first authors, 36% were female first authors, and 12% did not have a clearly determined gender. Males as first authors have been unwaveringly higher in number than females annually. When gender trends are compared globally, there is a statistically significant association between gender and country, with Greece and Finland having the highest female-to-male ratios.
Conclusions: Although recent years have seen an increase in the number of female first authors, gender disparity still continues to prevail in medical research. This gap has to be eliminated in order to gain dynamic insight from all genders, which can help form a better understanding and further the cause of innovation in not just Kawasaki disease but any other subject of discussion.

Published: June 2024

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by an intense and debilitating fixation on imagined or minor physical flaws. Despite the prevalence of BDD in society, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its impact on medical students in literature. To bridge this gap, this article seeks to present an overview of the current research on BDD and its prevalence among medical students in Pakistan. Additionally, the article will explore various treatment approaches that have shown effectiveness in managing BDD, with a particular focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy.

Niedziela w świetle ksiąg pokutnych
Authors: Story Marek
Published: June 2024

Księgi pokutne, które powstały w epoce późnej starożytności chrześcijańskiej i wczesnego średniowiecza, są świadectwem kształtowania się praktyki pokutnej w Kościele. Celem artykułu, jest odpowiedź na pytanie, jaką rolę w życiu poszczególnych wyznawców Chrystusa odgrywała niedziela i jak przeżywano ten dzień w świetle wspomnianych ksiąg pokutnych. Czy w XXI w., kiedy to Dzień Pański przez wiele osób, które poprzez sakrament chrztu zostały włączone do wspólnoty Kościoła, traktowany jest często wyłącznie jako dzień wolny od pracy czy też okazywana jest wyłącznie troska o to, co cielesne a nie duchowe, czytając księgi pokutne możemy z nich czerpać wiedzę w odkrywaniu sensu niedzieli, celu jej świętowania i jej znaczenie dla życia chrześcijańskiego i ludzkiego?
Kto mówił o Bożej miłości w XVIII wieku? Jezuici z Lublina, Krasnegostawu i Łaszczowa w szerzeniu kultu Serca Pana Jezusa
Authors: Świta Amadeusz
Published: June 2024

Artykuł zawiera analizę prozopograficzną XVIII-wiecznych prefektów Bractwa Serca Jezusowego z jezuickich kolegiów w Lublinie i Krasnymstawie oraz rezydencji w Łaszczowie. Na podstawie katalogów osobowych tzw. krótkich (catalogus breves) oraz trzyletnich (catalogus triennalis), zidentyfikowano łącznie czterdziestu siedmiu kapłanów, którzy podjęli misję szerzenia kultu Serca Jezusa. Uwagę zwraca ich wysoka mobilność. Większość z nich wskazaną posługę pełniła jedynie raz w ciągu swojego pobytu w zakonie. Analiza katalogów wykazała również, iż opiekunem tego bractwa mógł być każdy kapłan niezależnie od wieku, stażu w Towarzystwie Jezusowym lub wykonywanych zadań. W Lublinie i Krasnymstawie większość prefektów Bractwa Serca Jezusowego stanowili młodzi nauczyciele, w Łaszczowie zaś jezuici posługujący na polu duszpasterstwa tradycyjnego.
The Legal Status of Personal Prelature According to the Documents Issued by Pope Francis in 2022-2023. Part I
Authors: Pietras Dawid
Published: June 2024

A personal prelature was an ecclesiastical circumscription (complementary community). Its establishment was proposed during the Second Vatican Council. Its aim was to ensure the proper distribution of the clergy and to respond to new pastoral challenges. Its legal status was significantly changed by Pope Francis’s motu proprio of August 8, 2022. By amending the canons of the 1983 Code of Canon Law (can. 294-297), the Roman Pontiff equated this personal structure with a public clerical association of the faithful under the pontifical right. As a result, a personal prelate lost his position as an Ordinary and became a Moderator with the faculties of an Ordinary. The lay faithful who cooperate with a personal prelature are now subject only to the jurisdiction of a local Ordinary. The Dicastery for the Clergy assumed the competences over a personal prelature. The Statutes of the only Personal Prelature of Opus Dei established so far will have to be adapted to the new norms.
Prawo rodziców do wychowania potomstwa zgodnie ze swoim światopoglądem a wolność religijna małoletnich
Authors: Bucoń Paweł
Published: June 2024

The article addresses the issue of the freedom of parents to choose religion for their minor children and to raise their offspring in accordance with their own worldview. The author also refers to the issue of the legal possibility of formal withdrawal of minors from the Roman Catholic Church (apostasy) in Poland. A brief analysis of these issues leads to the conclusion that parents have a legally guaranteed right to raise their children in accordance with their worldview, whereas the lack of procedures enabling minors to formally leave the Church, or for this act to be performed by their parents who have full parental authority over the children, does not violate the right to religious freedom.
