To Study the Comparative Effect of Nebivolol and Metoprolol on Fasting and Post meal Blood Glucose Level in Patients of Type II Diabetes Mellitus with Essential Hypertension
Authors: AH Bhagat , AS Magare
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterised by excessively high blood sugar levels and elevated oxidative stress, resulting in lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism problems. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, and other vascular problems considerably. Aim: Nebivolol has enhanced tolerability profile with respect to adverse effects usually allied with nonselective β-blockers so, the study’s goal is to assess the comparative effects of nebivolol and metoprolol on metabolic parameters in type II diabetes mellitus with essential hypertension patients. Methodology: The subjects enrolled for this study are selected from the Out Patient Department of Medicine, MGM medical College, Aurangabad according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Written informed consent is obtained from each patient. Various biochemical parameters are assessed for comparative study of nebivolol and metoprolol drugs in patients. 3 month randomized open label study design is selected and 40 patients are divided into 2 groups, administered nebivolol and metoprolol in each group. Parameters like fasting blood glucose level, postprandial blood glucose level (BGL), HbA1c level, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are assessed using student paired and unpaired t-test. Result: Fasting blood glucose level, postprandial BGL, HbA1c and systolic blood pressure except diastolic blood pressure are found to be reduced significant in nebivolol treated group than compared to metoprolol group patients. Nebivolol doesn’t show side effect of fatigue. Conclusion: This comparative study concluded that Nebivolol more efficacious than metoprolol in terms of reducing BGL, HbA1c and blood pressure along with lesser side effects in type II diabetic and hypertension patients.

Сучасний комплексний аналіз складу угруповань організмів - своєрідна призма, що відбиває численні пристосувальні особливості організмів до існування та виживання в певних умовах середовища. Він базується на таких фундаментальних принципах, як: багаторівневість організації живого; множинність систем; не лінійність та мультиспрямованість еволюції; субстанційність та функціональність єдності живого. Розробка теорії еколого- таксономічних спектрів стала суттєвим етапом розширення можливостей багатоцільового вивчення рослинних угруповань. Застосування основних положень та принципів цієї теорії у поєднанні з хорологією дозволяє отримувати різнопланові характеристики рослинних угруповань, як арени існування, розвитку та розподілу організмів різних таксонів, життєвих форм, фітохоріономічних (хорологічних чи ареалогічних) груп на фоні специфічних умов, простору та часу.

Проблема збереження навколишнього середовища і створення сприятливих умов для життя людини набула в наш час глобального значення. Зокрема освоєння Криворізького промислового району спричинило негативні зміни в навколишньому природному середовищі, призвело до збільшення площ та поширення техногенних ландшафтів.  При цьому дослідниками відзначається, що деревні насадження є потужним природним чинником протидії негативним для довкілля наслідкам техногенного впливу. Природні та культурні фітоценози значно поліпшують санітарно-гігієнічні, кліматичні і естетичні характеристики промислових регіонів. Встановлення таксономічного складу техноекотопів Кривбасу є важливим для визначення напрямків фітооптимізації.
Some methods for improving data structure teaching efficiency
Authors: Seidametova Zarema S.
Published: June 2022

Computer simulation and modeling are now widely used in computer science teaching. There are various approaches to make the educational process more efficient. Visualization is one of them, and the flipped classroom approach is another. The goal of this research is to show how to improve the efficiency of teaching data structures (hashing, trees) in the Algorithms and Data Structures course. We conducted two tests with four study groups of second-year bachelor students in two Algorithms and Data Structures subjects – (1) Hashing, (2) Trees (BST, RBT, AVL). In the first experiment, study groups on subjects (1) and (2) were formed using the same type of teaching technique, either with or without visualization tools. In contrast to the first experiment, we employed flipped classroom approaches for one study group and a traditional teaching method for the other.

The author's idea. The idea of this Master’s Photo Art Project was to draw attention to the development and decay of cinemas in the Lviv region. Cinema, since its inception, has had a great impact on people, his development, formation, more than once has returned the course of history. Cinemas are a place where you can meet its miracle face to face, touch it. However, what is the current state of Ukrainian cinemas? Who still goes there? Can we say, that at the beginning of the internet era, the cinemas are a relic of the past, which now play only a symbolic role? Having watched the cinemas of the Lviv region, communicating with employees and visitors, I tried to answer these questions, first of all for myself. Research on the development of Ukrainian film distribution is very important in modern conditions, as it is an integral component, the basic basis of cinema, which in turn is a priority of public policy in the humanitarian sphere and determined by the Laws of Ukraine ‘On Culture’, ‘On Cinematography’, etc. Successful, profitable film distribution is a financial platform for the development of film production. Therefore, in-depth analysis of ways and directions of film distribution, research of formation conditions and successful realization of its potential, study and coverage of effective principles of film network existence, construction of forecast models of its further functioning are actual and necessary for the social and economic and political development of society.

Kierunki skutecznej elektronizacji procesu karnego
Authors: Kosowski Jakub
Published: June 2022

Artykuł dotyczy tematyki elektronizacji postępowania karnego. Autor stawia za cel przedstawienie dotychczasowych rozwiązań i ich funkcjonowania w praktyce z uwzględnieniem okresu ich wprowadzenia do Kodeksu postępowania karnego. Jako cezurę czasową wskazano kluczowe współczesne zagrożenie mające wpływ na sprawność prowadzenia postępowania, tj. pandemię COVID-19. Analiza ta prowadzi do wniosku, że dotychczasowe rozwiązania są szczątkowe i brak jest podejścia systemowego. Tym samym postępowanie karne pod względem elektronizacji znacząco odbiega od procedury cywilnej, gdzie reforma została rozpoczęta zdecydowanie wcześniej i miała szerszy zakres. W artykule wskazano na bariery, które mogą wpływać na spowolnienie albo zaniechanie wdrażania elektronizacji postępowania karnego, w tym bariery natury prawnej, natury i psychologicznej. Odniesiono się także do możliwości pokonania powyższych barier. W oparciu o dokonane analizy, Autor sformułował trzy kroki (etapy) elektronizacji postępowania karnego, wskazując na: krok pierwszy – elektronizacja czynności karnoprocesowych; krok drugi – elektronizacja rozprawy, posiedzeń i czynności dowodowych; krok trzeci – elektroniczne postępowanie nakazowe. Wskazane zostały także powiązania pomiędzy poszczególnymi etapami oraz kluczowe przesłanki, od których uzależniono skuteczność i szybkość wdrożenia na każdym ze sformułowanych etapów.

Biomarkers and Mindfulness: A Way Forward
Authors: Lerner Alan J.
Published: June 2022

After years of anticipation, non-invasive tests for detecting cerebral amyloidosis and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are entering clinical care. The PrecivityADtrademark test from C2N is a plasma-based test yielding an Amyloid Probability score with high sensitivity and specificity for brain amyloid accumulation, but some samples may have inconclusive results. The AGREEDementia consortium raised concerns that the field needs study of how best to use and communicate results of PrecivityADtrademark. Continued attention and mindfulness should be applied to the whole class of dementia biomarker tests and directed in light of FDA biomarker context of use framework. Unintended uses of biomarkers tests may have unintended consequences, such as mislabeling patients. AD biomarker tests may efficiently stratify AD risk but will inevitably be included in electronic medical records and be subject to interpretation by medical personnel lacking proper knowledge or context to interpret results appropriately. Another way forward is mindful discussion and consensus among all stakeholders about the uses and limits of each specific test.

Authors: Walter Sarah , Kim Anne B. , Flores Melissa , Ziolkowski Jaimie , Shaffer Elizabeth , Aggarwal Neelum T.
Published: June 2022

Background: Study participants, patients, and care partners are key stakeholders in research and have asked for greater inclusion in the dissemination of scientific learning. However, the participation of general audiences in scientific conferences dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) is not widely supported or studied. Objective: Our objectives were to evaluate the interest, level of engagement, and impact of including general audiences in a virtual dementia conference. Methods: A diverse group of lay participants, identified via community-based health advocacy groups and research centers, were invited to attend the 2021 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC), with optional small-group discussions. Participants received complimentary access to all scientific sessions and were supported via navigation tips, recommended sessions, and a glossary of frequently used terms and acronyms. Results: Lay participants demonstrated a high level of engagement, even among those that were research-naïve, attending virtual sessions for an average of 11.7 hours across the five days and recommending a variety of sessions to each other on topics extending from prevention of dementia to new therapies and care. Most participants said they would attend the conference again and rated the quality of interaction as high, while requesting more opportunities to engage directly with researchers. Conclusion: General audiences, in particular research participants, are advocating for greater participation in scientific conferences. This program can serve as a model to accomplish inclusion; thereby acknowledging their invaluable contribution to science.

Rapid innovations in manufacturing process technology, information technology, and systems technology have led to simultaneous concerns about labor displacements and skills shortages. To address these concerns, the key challenges for educating and training the current and future workforce should be identified and the specific activities leading to the design of new manufacturing career pathways should be defined. Thus, the objective of this article is to define and prioritize the necessary activities and short- to long-term outcomes that will aid in developing high-skill career pathways that will positively impact children and families, students and teachers, and future workers. Expert perspectives from industry and academia have been analysed through two lenses: education (primary/secondary, technical, and university levels) and policy/innovation. The nominal group technique (NGT) is applied in this research to capture these perspectives, which enabled the generation of ideas followed by discussion and ranking by the experts. This approach encourages participation and avoids the associated drawbacks of typical group interactions. As a result, prioritized activities, short-term outcomes, and policy ideas to introduce children and families, students and teachers, and future workers to careers in advanced manufacturing are presented for each lens of focus. In addition, inputs from experts were captured to discuss desired medium- to long-term outcomes. In conclusion, this article summarizes the key findings from the study.

Evaluation on service quality in institutional pensions based on a novel hierarchical DEMATEL method for PLTSs
Authors: Xu Zhiwei , Li Peng , Wei Cuiping
Published: June 2022

In recent years, to address the continued aging of China’s population, the Chinese government has focused on the issue of pensions through a series of pension policies. The traditional system of institutional pensions is facing serious challenges, with a variety of novel pension modes placing them under enormous pressure. Furthermore, the development of institutional pensions has been restricted by many factors, such as long construction cycles and high fees, meaning that this traditional system no longer meets the pension needs of the elderly. Improving the service quality of institutional pensions is inevitable for future progress. Thus, identifying the key factors that influence the service quality of institutional pensions, and understanding the relationships between these factors, is hugely significant. Furthermore, traditional decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method can not solve this problem because the number of factors is too large. To address these issues, we establish an evaluation system for Chinese pension institutions, and propose a hierarchical DEMATEL model based on probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs), which can help decision makers to find the key factors influencing service quality in institutional pensions and deal with the evaluation problem with a large number of criteria. The proposed hierarchical DEMATEL model based on PLTSs fully reflects experts’ preferences and evaluation information, and is able to identify the directions in which China’s pension institutions should improve their quality of service. In addition, we use the best-worst method (BWM) to calculate the importance values of each subsystem, which makes the cause-effect relationship between subsystems more reasonable than the traditional DEMATEL method. Finally, we apply our method to evaluate nursing homes in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province and propose some managerial implications.

Background: In Becker muscular dystrophy evidence for neurocognitive and behavioral comorbidity is evolving. More insight into the extend of these problems is of great importance for early detection and remediation in clinical practice. Objective: In this study we aimed to describe the neurocognitive and behavioral features of a Dutch adult cohort of BMD patients, and to evaluate correlations to motor function outcomes. Methods: 28 adult BMD patients were included. Intelligence, executive functioning, verbal memory and reaction times were assessed cross-sectionally. Additionally, patients completed questionnaires on behavioral and emotional symptoms, psychosocial and executive functions. Results were compared to normative data and correlated with disease severity as measured by the 10-meter run/walk test and Performance of the Upper Limb version 1.2. Results: 15 patients (53.6%) had a high educational level despite frequent grade repeating (48.3%) during primary or secondary school. Neuropsychological testing revealed that intellectual abilities, verbal memory, processing speed and executive functioning were statistically significant below average, but still within normal range. Regarding outcomes of the behavioral questionnaires, no significant differences were reported compared to the norm population. No relevant correlations with disease severity were found. Conclusions: This cohort of adult BMD patients exhibits minor cognitive impairments and no significant behavioral problems. The lower outcomes on processing speed and verbal memory, combined with the relatively high prevalence of grade repeating during primary and secondary school, implies that these minor impairments played a role in childhood. However, the on average high educational levels suggests that they grow out of their cognitive impairments with ageing.
Neuroinflammation and Immune Changes in Prodromal Parkinson’s Disease and Other Synucleinopathies

Published: June 2022

Multiple lines of clinical and pre-clinical research support a pathogenic role for neuroinflammation and peripheral immune system dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease. In this paper, we have reviewed and summarised the published literature reporting evidence of neuroinflammation and peripheral immune changes in cohorts of patients with isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder and non-manifesting carriers of GBA or LRRK2 gene mutations, who have increased risk for Parkinsonism and synucleinopathies, and could be in the prodromal stage of these conditions. Taken together, the findings of these studies suggest that the early stages of pathology in Parkinsonism involve activation of both the central and peripheral immune systems with significant crosstalk. We consider these findings with respect to those found in patients with clinical Parkinson’s disease and discuss their possible pathological roles. Moreover, those factors possibly associated with the immune response, such as the immunomodulatory role of the affected neurotransmitters and the changes in the gut-brain axis, are also considered.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has immensely affected the world’s population at physical and psychosocial levels. Dentists are no different from other healthcare providers, as they are equally if not more exposed to the threat of getting infected. OBJECTIVE: To assess the experience and behavior of public and private sector dentists practicing during the COVID-19 pandemic and their knowledge about it. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted online by sharing google forms through email, WhatsApp, and Facebook. The survey included questions on the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of dentists practicing during COVID-19. The data was interpreted by SPSS 24 using a chi-square test, and a value of p < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: A considerable number of general dentists (26.9%) and specialists (39.4%) adopted partial suspension of clinics. Restriction’s ease allowed 50.2% of the clinicians to resume their duties. 67.9% of the patients were medicated online during the lockdown phase. There was no significant difference regarding years of experience and willingness to treat/care (p-value 0.648). Personal protective equipment (PPE) was readily available for use in public or private practices, and the respondents agreed with its efficacy in protecting the operators. Compliance with PPE wear was 50% in all the respondents. CONCLUSION: The psychosocial repercussion of the pandemic continues to affect dental practices. Our attitude needs to improve as far as PPE is concerned, with regular training workshops and continuous updates of the developing Knowledge on COVID-19.
Perceived software usability and usability-related stress in German craft enterprises
Authors: Scheepers Louisa , Kaiser Saskia , Buchner Axel , Dragano Nico , Angerer Peter
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Digitalisation is reaching German craft enterprises which must increasingly deal with complex software. The usability of the software is crucial for the effective use in everyday work and insufficient usability is associated with increased stress and strain. It thus seems necessary to identify possible usability-related stressors in craft-enterprise software. OBJECTIVE: Here we examine how users evaluate the usability of craft-enterprise software and whether usability is associated with perceived work-related stress. METHODS: To assess the perceived usability of German craft-enterprise software, an online survey was conducted with 161 participants from craft enterprises using a validated usability questionnaire based on ISO 9241-110. In addition, 26 guideline-based interviews were conducted to identify the experience of managers and employees with craft-enterprise software, possible usability-related stress and strain. RESULTS: Both studies show that craft enterprises use software but only to a limited extend. While back-office administrative processes are routinely supported by software, mobile software support to manage customer service is used less frequently. Increasing complexity of craft-enterprise software is posing growing demands on the users. Software usability was rated to be crucial in the online survey, but the available software is only rated to be acceptable. This was also reflected in the interviews. Participants described usability problems and their relevance as stressors during software use. In consequence, the users experience strain such as feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that improving the usability of craft-enterprise software should reduce work-related stress and support craft enterprises to master the digitalisation process.
A Review of Glutamate and Its Receptors: Their Roles in Brain Physiology and Pathology
Authors: Mutluay Sevgi Uğur , Karataş Hülya
Published: June 2022

Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Through its ionotropic and metabotropic receptors it mediates both fast transmission and long term metabolic changes in a cell. Besides neurotransmission, it takes part in development of central nervous system, cell energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity processes. Glutamatergic signaling is strictly controlled. Under normal conditions, extrasynaptic gluatamate levels are maintained at low concentrations. Excessive transmission leads to excitotoxicity which results in cell damage and death. Glutamatergic dysfunction is involved in many pathologies including neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. Impairments in glutamate’s physiological functions, excitotoxicity and disrupted modulation of other neurotranmitter systems contribute to these pathologies. This opinion aims to summarize the cellular mechanism that lead to pathology and review how these mechanisms translate into the clinic.

Published: June 2022

Objective: COVID-19 increases risk of malnutrition. With proper nutritional management, clinical outcomes are more positive but nutritional management is often overlooked. Aim of our study is to determine competences and attitudes of internal medicine research assistants working in COVID-19 services in terms of nutritional management and the factors that may affect this.
Materials and Methods: A 12-question survey was applied to internal medicine research assistants worked/still working in the inpatient service and intensive care units where COVID-19 patients were followed up. Their competences and attitudes about nutrition were learned.
Results: A hundred research assistants participated in the study. Ratio of those who considered their knowledge sufficient about nutrition management was 48% (n=48), enteral nutrition was 62% (n=62) and parenteral nutrition was 55% (n=55). There were 92 (92%) research assistants who thought that nutrition was a problem in COVID-19 patients, however there are only 6 (6%) research assistants who have read publications on nutritional management in COVID-19 patients. Research assistants who have performed intensive care or geriatrics rotation stated themselves more competent in nutrition (p = 0.001 & p <0.001, respectively) and who have performed geriatrics rotation thought that they have sufficient knowledge about enteral nutrition (p = 0.03).
Conclusion: Research assistants who play important roles in the management of patients, find themselves highly incompetent in nutritional management, although they know that nutritional management will yield positive results on the patient’s clinical outcomes. Importance of education of research assistants about nutrition should be emphasized in order to apply nutritional support better.

Враховуючи концептуальний підхід, необхідним є визначений алгоритм оцінки стратегії ефективного розвитку, що охоплює всі чинники діяльності держави, існуючі методи економічної оцінки ефективності реалізації стратегії мають певні недоліки. Перспективним кроком вирішення проблеми є створення методики, що інтегрує систему економічних індикаторів у комплексний показник ефективності стратегічного розвитку в умовах глобалізації. На сьогодні є значна кількість систем та методик оцінки ефективності реалізації стратегії розвитку держави, проте усі вони позбавлені універсальності, не є комплексними з урахуванням концептів. Ми спробували представити тривимірну модель інтегральної оцінки стратегії ефективного розвитку держави в умовах глобалізації, проаналізували чинники впливу на ефективність національної стратегії розвитку держави.

У статті досліджено сутність та призначення звіту керівництва. Проведено комплексний аналіз діючого в Україні нормативно-правового регулювання складання звіту керівництва, визначено його окремі недоліки та неузгодженості. Представлена порівняльна характеристика положень Директив 2013/34/ЄС та 2014/95/ЄС, а також Практичного положення 1 МСФЗ «Коментарі керівництва». Основна увага у статті приділена розгляду змін вимог і рекомендацій до складання звіту керівництва, що пропонуються Радою з МСФЗ. Узагальнено фактори, що зумовлюють необхідність цих змін. Критичний аналіз змісту Проекту оновленого Практичного положення МСФЗ «Коментарі керівництва» показав, що запропонований у ньому підхід дасть змогу забезпечити достатню дисципліну звітуючих підприємств разом із гнучкістю у формуванні звітів, а використання його положень вітчизняними підприємствами сприятиме покращенню якості звітів керівництва та їх корисності для інвесторів, кредиторів та інших стейкхолдерів.

Társadalmi marketing feladatok a komplex fenntarthatósági kihívások kapcsán
Authors: Klausmann-Dinya Anikó , Dinya László
Published: June 2022

Nemrég zárult le a legutóbbi globális klímacsúcs (COP26) Glasgowban. Nagyjából konszenzusos az a vélemény, hogy jó irányba mutató, fontos megállapodások születtek, de még mindig messze a megvalósítás. Úgy tűnik, jelenlegi társadalmi-gazdasági működésünk (paradigmánk) keretei között a klímaválság megoldása, illetve a fenntarthatóság megvalósíthatatlan. Korábbi, fenntartható térségfejlesztést célzó projektjeink tapasztalatai is egyértelműen azt mutatják, hogy felülről (a kivételezett pozícióban levő döntéshozóktól) nem várhatók radikális lépések. (Dinya - Dinya, 2020) Ehhez sokkal erősebb társadalmi nyomás szükséges alulról, ami viszont rendkívül intenzív és professzionális társadalmi marketing (a trendek, fenyegetések és teendők tényeken alapuló tudatosítása) nélkül nem jöhet létre. Ezért is foglalkozunk évek óta a társadalmi marketing szerepének egyre növekvő fontosságával. (Dinya - Dinya, 2019)  Úgy véljük, hogy a fenntarthatóság rendkívül komplex kihívásainak megoldását is nagyban hátráltatja, hogy a társadalom (globálisan, nemzeti és helyi szinten is) rendkívül manipulált: a tényalapú megközelítést (a „józan ész”, azaz a „természetes intelligencia” érvényesülését) háttérbe szorítja a félrevezető álhírek tömege (saját elnevezésünk szerint a „mesterséges unintelligencia” erősödése). Jóllehet ez a tézis érvényes valamennyi komplex társadalmi kihívásunkra, a Covid-járványra éppúgy, mint a migrációra, ezúttal a fenntarthatóság vonatkozásában kívánunk felvázolni egy diagnózist, és arra alapozott teendőket. Ezt az Eurobarometer adatbázisának speciális szempontú feldolgozására alapoztuk. (Eurobarometer, 2021)
Az Európai Oktatási Térség és Magyarország

Az oktatás és képzés (Education and Training, továbbiakban: E+T) sokáig marginális szerepet játszott az európai együttműködésekben. A tagállamok hatáskörébe tartozó tevékenységként, a közösségi együttműködés elsősorban a humántőke felhasználására koncentrált (lásd a munkavállalók szabad mozgása). Lényegében csak az elmúlt harminc évben, a nyitott koordináció kiterjesztése jegyében vált széles oktatáspolitika/ügyi körben és annak minden alágazatában (köznevelés, ifjúsági szakképzés, felsőoktatás, felnőttképzés-közművelődés) érvényessé az európai, és azon belül is az uniós közös alapokra épülő oktatáspolitikai gondolkodás (Halász, 2012). E gondolkodás folytatása az Európai Oktatási Térség (European Education Area) koncepciójának megfogalmazása is.
A koncepciót 2021-2030 között öt prioritásra és hét kulcsindikátorra építették fel (Eurostat, 2021). A Portói Szociális Csúcs (2020. május 7.) három kulcsindikátora közül az egyik kifejezetten az egész életen át tartó tanulásra ( az LLL) céloz (2030-ra a felnőttek legalább 60%-a, 2025-ig a 25-64 évesek legalább 47%-a évente vegyen részt képzésben. (Európai Tanács, 2021b). A fiatalok tekintetében a PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) adatok értelmezése és felhasználása vált döntővé. Ebben most először kaptak kiemelt figyelmet a digitális és zöld kompetenciák. Ez a cikk annak folyamatát mutatja be, ahogyan ezek a célok kialakultak valamint áttekinti, hogy az Unió egésze és Magyarország hol tart e célok megvalósításában.
A nyitott és távoktatás, élethosszig tartó tanulás uniós politikáinak összefüggéseiről (1990-2021)
Authors: Kálmán Anikó  , Szűcs András
Published: June 2022

A szerzők gondolatai, tapasztalatai az elmúlt 31 évről: az egész életen át tartó tanulás, a versenyképes tudásalapú társadalmak, de egyben a személyes kiteljesedés, a társadalmi kohézió és az aktív állampolgárság strukturáló elemeiről.
Az Európai Bizottság 2000-ben memorandumot bocsátott ki az egész életen át tartó tanulásról, amely megerősítette az oktatás és képzés terén folytatott politikai együttműködés alapját Az EU-memorandum a nyílt és távoktatásról  (1991) az oktatáshoz és képzéshez való hozzáférés és részvétel kiterjesztését célozta.
Az EU egész életen át tartó tanulási politikájának közgazdasági kerete és retorikája hajlamos  elfedni a méltányosság, az állampolgárság és európai identitás fontos elemeit. A Lisszaboni stratégia céljai közül az egész életen át tartótanulás területén az EU csekély előrehaladást ért el. A kapcsolódó neveléstudományi elméletben új elem a lifelong-lifewide learning koncepciója. A holisztikus jövőképben a munkaerő/piacközpontú helyett a tanulóközpontúmegközelítés az elsődleges.
A nyílt és távoktatás az oktatás és az egész életen át tartó tanulás az európai politikai fősodorba került. A pandémia  a történelem egyik legnagyobb szakmai fejlődését hozta az egyetemi oktatásba, elismerve ugyanakkor hogy a vészhelyzeti távoktatás nem minőségi online tanulás.
Az EU megújított digitális oktatási keretrendszere (Digital Education Action Plan) figyelembe veszi a COVID-19 válság tapasztalatait és az európai oktatás strukturális kihívásait. A pandémia felgyorsította az online és a hibrid tanulás tendenciáit. Az alapvető problémák a tanárképzés és az infrastrukturális háttér gyengeségei és az EU tagországok oktatáspolitikai koherenciája maradtak.
A távoktatásként, online tanulásként ismert szektor tényleges és értékes szerepet játszott az 1970-2020 közötti időszakban. A jövőben az online tanulás az oktatás autentikus részeként jelenik meg így integrálódása az egész életen át tartó tanulásba módszertani és technikai szempontból is magától értetődő.
