Psychopatic Traits in Interpersonal Relation
Authors: Czajkowski Wojciech , Pokornicki Patryk
Published: March 2020

The subject of interest in the presented text is the possible relationship between a number of personality traits of the individual and its functioning in social relation. Dealing with the psychopathic features of personality and their importance in social relations, the authors pay attention to psychopathy, as well as narcissistic features and Machiavellianism in individual’s activity. These three traits since the beginning of the 21st century have aroused vivid interest of researchers and therapists attempting empirical verification of hypotheses in this area. It is also worth indicating. The above-mentioned categories of behavior form the dark triad of personality. Researchers draw our attention to clinical interpretations regarding diagnostic criteria enabling the recognition of psychopathic features and the broader dark triad. This sometimes carry on to referring to the concept of sub-clinical psychopathy that does not meet the diagnostic criteria used in the classification of mental disorders. The authors also try to interpret the negative role of these features in social relations.
Forensic Trace as a Condition of Combating Threats Related to Criminal Activities
Authors: Wąs-Gubała Jolanta
Published: March 2020

Nowadays, socially harmful (criminal) acts are often carried out, which are punishable by a certain penalty and their detection poses a major challenge to the services and the wider justice system. The analysis of such acts requires a continuous improvement of knowledge of the methods used by the perpetrators, as well as the ways in which traces are detected and secured, which can then be used to identify the perpetrator. In each forensic trace there is a coded lot of information, often unavailable without the use of special thought and research processes. The publication defines forensic traces, presents their division, functions, and discusses ways to reveal and secure such traces. It also points to the impact of crime detection on citizens’ sense of security, as a result of awareness that the perpetrator of the crime will be punished and that law enforcement, using the latest developments in science and technology, are working increasingly more efficiently.
Violence as a Threat of Safety of the Contemporary Family on the Example of Przemyski District in 2015–2018
Authors: Żołyniak Krzysztof
Published: March 2020

In the modern world we are observing more and more new threats to the proper functioning of the family. One of them, which is not new, but rather intensified and more and more perceived in the social space, is devoted to this article. Domestic violence, because this is the case, is undoubtedly the worst type of violence and the most harmful, because it is experienced from the closest people who we should receive love, goodness and understanding.
The article presents the complexity of the problem of intra-family violence. It presents the concept of violence, the form of harm and its influence on the functioning of the family. The issues are related to the process of counteracting domestic violence are pointed out, the forms of helping victims of violence by social organizations and therapeutic centers, as well as actions against perpetrators of domestic violence are emphasized. It also shows the scale of domestic violence which occurs, and an analysis of the assistance activity provided in 2015–2018 in Przemyśl district, which was based on reports of institutions helping victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. We should consider what needs to be changed to better protect families against violence and reduce its scale. Domestic violence is a big problem and a threat to the proper functioning of the family, so coherent actions of different institutions are needed to achieve the intended goal.
Corruption as a Threat to the Internal Security of the State
Authors: Hrynicki Wojciech M.
Published: March 2020

Corruption poses a serious threat to the internal security of the state as it destabilises social relations and has a deleterious effect on the political system, negatively affecting legislation and the economy in particular. Corruption, as a phenomenon which erodes social relations, also results in demoralisation and the slackening of morals in society, which is an important substrate of the state. As a multi-dimensional phenomenon, corruption poses a threat to social relations within states and to their internal security both in the broad sense – as a threat to the instruments of the state, and in the narrow sense – threatening the lives, health and property of citizens. Corruption destabilises multiple areas of the functioning of the state, damages the political sphere, in particular in the case of unclear party financing rules and illicit lobbying. It also results in faulty laws and provisions being introduced (or not introduced) which favour the few. Corruption also involves destructive economic phenomena, especially in the case of large public projects and tax-related crimes. Morally, it constitutes treason. It ultimately destabilises state structures, rendering them dysfunctional and inefficient, and perverting the fundamental principles of democracy.
Nanocrystalline Cellulose and Polyvinyl Alcohol Coating Application to Cardboard Packaging Papers and Investigation of the Effects on Paper Properties
Authors: YENİDOĞAN Semiha
Published: March 2020

In the packaging sector of the printing industry, different coating applications are tried and investigated in order to increase the surface appearance and performance characteristics of paper and cardboard. The printability, water and ink absorption capacity, frictional resistance, light sensitivity of the visual graphical design that are going to be printed on the packaging papers are some of them. In this study, different types of cardboards that are used as a packaging material were chosen and coated with nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC)/PVA at different rates (%). In order to determine effective and economical usage conditions, the coating solutions, at three different concentrations as 3 wt.%, 5 wt. %, 7 wt.%, were prepared. The coating was applied on the test papers, which were at the same weights (350 g/m2) and had different surface properties as matte glossy, bright glossy, American Bristol. NCC/PVA existence on the coated paper surface was confirmed with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The impact of the coating, which was prepared at different concentrations, on the packaging materials was studied with respect to thickness, stiffness, water absorbability, contact angle and surface tension.
Effect of Operating Light Exposure on Enamel Bonding Performances of Universal Adhesives
Authors: AYAR Muhammet Kerim , ERDEMIR Fatih
Published: March 2020

The present study evaluated the effect of operating light exposure conditions on the shear bond strength (SBS) of composite resin bonded to enamel with three different universal adhesives used in self-etching mode. Tested adhesives were Single Bond Universal (SBU), G-Premio Bond (GB) and Nova Compo-B Plus (NB) and tested illumination conditions were, ambient light, 22.000 lux, and 8.000 lux. Ninety bovine incisors were used for SBS test (n = 10). Effect of operating light expose on the fluidity of adhesives was assessed. Resin-enamel interfaces were also evaluated under a scanning electron microscope. Two-way Analysis of Variance showed that material had a significant effect on SBS (p < 0.000) unlike the illumination condition (p = 0.459). GB provided significantly lower bond strength than those of SBU and NB (p<0.05). High power operating light likely reduces the fluidity of all adhesives. Thus, it could be recommended that clinicians would prefer to use the tested resin adhesive systems at an illuminance of 8.000 lux.
Degradation and Damage of Composite Materials in Marine Environment
Authors: VIZENTIN Goran , VUKELIC Goran
Published: March 2020

IIn spite the fact that composite materials have been in use in the maritime sector for over a half of century, classification societies regulations tend to limit the usage of composites at the larger scale. One of the reasons for such strict class rules is a lack of comprehensive analytical and numerical models representing the behaviour of composites in the sea environment. Understanding the process of degradation and damage of composite materials assisted by sea environment a crucial step in building such a model. This paper aims to give a critical review of the research advancements in assessments of the sea environment influence on the degradation of mechanical properties of composites with a special emphasis on developed models of processes containing water and moisture entering composite inner structure. The list of major references in the last five years is given and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Published: March 2020

En este artículo, basado en una revisión bibliográfica sobre lo que se ha publicado en revistas científicas internacionales sobre migraciones y big data así como sobre migraciones y Twitter, en tanto que un medio social específico, se pretende identificar qué tipo de investigaciones sobre migraciones se están publicando actualmente basándose en datos que proceden de estas fuentes. Y, particularmente, nos interesa identificar los métodos, técnicas de investigación y tipo de software que se manejan en estos trabajos, desde la perspectiva de tres momentos clave en el estudio de lo que se publica en los medios sociales o el uso de big data: extracción, procesamiento y análisis. Nuestra revisión se desarrolla teniendo en cuenta lo que se publicó en los últimos 5 años incluido en las bases de datos ProQuest, Scopus y Web of Science, que recogen miles de revistas, libros, tesis doctorales, etc. de carácter multidisciplinar. Los resultados apuntan a que son aún pocas las publicaciones en materia de big data y Twitter que abordan procesos migratorios, en relación a otras temáticas. En cuestión de estrategias metodológicas, técnicas y software, los artículos que hemos encontramos van desde lo más artesanal a lo más sofisticado, en este caso, con publicaciones que suelen estar encabezadas por científicos que cuentan con cierto bagaje en computación.In this article, based on a literature review on the publications in international scientific journals on migrations and big data as well as specifically on migrations and Twitter, as a specific social media, we try to identify what type of research on migrations is currently being published based on data that comes from these sources. And, particularly, we are interested in identifying the methods, research techniques and type of software that are handled in these works, from the perspective of three key moments in the research on social media or big data: extraction, processing, and analysis. Our review is developed taking into account what was published in the last 5 years that was included in ProQuest, Scopus and Web of Science databases, which comprise thousands of journals, books, doctoral theses, etc. of a multidisciplinary nature. The results suggest that there are still few publications on big data and Twitter that address migration processes, in relation to other issues. In terms of methodological strategies, techniques and software, the articles we have found range from the most artisan to the most sophisticated, in this case, with publications that are usually lead by scientists who have a certain background in computing.

Investigación penal del ministerio público y derecho de defensa
Authors: Alfonso Rodríguez Adriano J.
Published: March 2020

El Fiscal puede desarrollar una actividad de investigación compartida con Jueces y Policías, con lo que puede incidir en la esfera de derechos del investigado pudiendo éste desarrollar con plenitud el derecho de defensa ante una indagación que no genera actos de prueba de ningún tipo salvo excepciones. Durante su desarrollo, el Fiscal puede acordar medidas que necesariamente requieren la participación y presencia del investigado, con lo que su declaración ante la existencia de indicios de responsabilidad penal deviene en obligatoria. Ahora bien, la modificación de la LECRIM que introduce el procedimiento de aceptación del decreto del Fiscal implica la ruptura de esta dinámica pudiendo ser el sujeto condenado sin antes ser oído lo que obliga a revisar dicho procedimiento desde la óptica constitucional. The Prosecutor can lead criminal investigations similar to Judges and Police Forces, and this measures can affect to the suspect with a big impact in his rights. However, rights to defence is obvious. Criminal investigation cannot make proofs but the suspect presence is necessary, esencially when there are felons evidences. Nevertheless with the criminal laws reform, a new procedure breaks the constitutional guarantees because allows the punishment without suspect’s statement.

La inadecuacion del canon de acceso a las infraestructuras ferroviarias al derecho de la Union Europea
Authors: Blanchar Roca Gerard
Published: March 2020

Los cánones ferroviarios, configurados actualmente como tasas, no se ajustan a las previsiones del Derecho de la Unión Europea, que exigen que el administrador de infraestructuras ferroviarias tome las decisiones sobre la fijación de los precios a pagar por el acceso a las mismas y que estas decisiones puedan ser revisadas por un organismo regulador independiente. Se trata, además, de un modelo que no se adapta a una moderna concepción de las infraestructuras de transporte como empresas que realizan una actividad económica. La alternativa de un modelo de precios regulados o de un modelo de prestaciones patrimoniales públicas no tributarias permitiría dotar de más protagonismo al administrador de infraestructuras ferroviarias y al organismo regulador independiente, en consonancia con el Derecho de la Unión Europea.The railway charges, currently set up as fees, do not comply with the provisions of European Union law, which require the railway infrastructure administrator to take decisions on setting the prices to pay for the access to them and that an independent regulatory body reviews these decisions. It is also a model that does not adapt to a modern conception of transport infrastructures as companies that carry out an economic activity. The alternative of a regulated price model or a model of non-taxable public wealth benefits, would make it possible to give more prominence to the railway infrastructure administrator and the independent regulatory body, in line with the Law of the European Union.
Diez razones para proponer la reforma jurídica del silencio administrativo
Authors: Bolado-Alonso Jesús
Published: March 2020

La necesidad de construir un procedimiento administrativo rápido, ágil y flexible justifica la necesidad de este estudio, frente a uno de los problemas jurídicos actuales más graves, que se detectan en la práctica española, como es el silencio administrativo o de otra forma la falta de respuesta de una Administración silente en sus procedimientos con sus administrados. Para la defensa de la reforma jurídica de esta figura, ha sido necesario proponer una visión en conjunto sobre sus orígenes y la situación actual en el ordenamiento jurídico, analizando el impacto de las últimas sentencias sobre el tema. La conclusión alcanzada confirma la tesis planteada de que actualmente el fin de la sociedad , es conseguir tener una Administración eficaz, eficiente y diligente en la que no tiene cabida el Silencio Administrativo y todo ello supone buscar nuevas propuestas metodológicas como la que se plantea en este estudio. Con ello se reforzarían las garantías procedimentales, se recuperaría la confianza de los administrados, cuando se relacionan con la administración, pero además permitiría una aplicación más eficaz del Derecho Administrativo y un mejor control de la aplicación del procedimiento. The need to build a fast ,agile and flexible administrative procedure justifies the need for this study , in the face of one of the most serious current legal problems that are detected in Spanish practice, such as administrative silence or otherwise the lack of response of a silent administration in its procedures with its administered. For the defense of the legal reform of this figure, it has been necessary to propose a joint vision on its origins and the current situation in the legal system, analyzing the impact of the last sentences on the subject. The conclusion reached confirms the thesis that currently the aim of society, is to have an effective, efficient and diligent administration in which administrative silence has no place and all this means finding new methodological proposals such as the one proposed in this study. This would strengthen the procedural guarantees, recover the trust of the administrated, when they are related to the administration, but also allow a more effective application of Administrative Law and a better control of the application of the procedure.

Los derechos de autor en el ajedrez
Authors: Senlle Caride Miguel
Published: March 2020

La especial naturaleza del ajedrez hace que su interrelación con los derechos de autor resulte problemática e incierta. El presente trabajo aborda esta cuestión a través del análisis de las tres manifestaciones del ajedrez por antonomasia; la partida, las posiciones y movimientos destacados, y los estudios y composiciones, y la posibilidad de que éstas queden amparadas bajo el umbral de protección dispensado por los derechos de autor. Para ello, se lleva a cabo un análisis de los presupuestos inherentes a los derechos de autor a través del estudio de la legislación y jurisprudencia aplicables y la concurrencia de los mismos en las mentadas manifestaciones del ajedrez.Due to the special nature of chess, its interrelation with author`s rights is problematic and uncertain. The present work approaches this question through the analysis of the three most important chess expressions; the game, remarkable positions and moves, and the studies and compositions, and, the possibility of them being covered by the protection offered by author`s rights. In order to do so, an analysis of the inherent requisites of author`s rights was carried out through the study of the applicable legislation and case law and the concurrency of them in the abovementioned chess expressions.

Published: March 2020

España hasta el último tercio del siglo XX ha sido tradicionalmente un país de emigrantes, situación que se invierte a partir de la década de los ochenta. La compleja realidad de la inmigración masiva a principios de los noventa superó ampliamente la normativa vigente al respecto, por lo que hubo transformar la misma, así como aplicar la legislación comunitaria, como consecuencia de la entrada en España en la Unión Europea, emergiendo nuevas normas sobre los derechos y libertades de los extranjeros en España y su integración social. La investigación se centra en el análisis de la misma, así como en la jurisprudencia producida al respecto.Spain up to the last third of the twentieth century has traditionally been a country of emigrants, a situation which has been reversed since the 1980s. The complex reality of mass immigration at the beginning of the 1990s largely exceeded the regulations in force in this respect, so that it had to be transformed and Community legislation had to be applied, as a result of Spain’s accession to the European Union, new rules on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain and their social integration emerged. The investigation focuses on the analysis of the study, as well as on the case law produced in this regard.

Macrofauna edáfica e sua relação com sazonalidade em sistema de uso do solo, bioma cerrado
Authors: Lima Charlyan de Sousa , Dalzochio Marina Schmidt , Silva Edison Fernandes da , Périco Eduardo
Published: March 2020

A macrofauna edáfica pode ser encontrada em ambientes naturais e antrópicos, tornando-se um indicador da biodiversidade do solo e da intensidade das atividades biológicas. Objetivou-se identificar os principais grupos taxonômicos da macrofauna edáfica e sua relação com a sazonalidade, em ambientes sistema de uso do solo do bioma Cerrado. A pesquisa foi realizada nos ambientes: Cerradão (CER), Mata dos Cocais (MDC), Corte e Queima (CEQ), Eucalipto (EUC) e Pastagem (PAS) em Chapadinha, Brasil. Os invertebrados foram coletados no período chuvoso (PC) e no período seco (PS), e identificados a nível de ordem e/ou família. Encontrou-se 1129 indivíduos no período chuvoso, distribuídos em 14 grupos taxonômicos; e no período seco, 1020 indivíduos em 11 grupos taxonômicos. Formicidae foi o que apresentou maior número de indivíduos nos dois períodos. No período chuvoso ocorreu maior número de grupos taxonômicos e de indivíduos. A riqueza de organismos não variou significativamente entre os ambientes e entre os períodos de amostragem, e a abundância demonstrou diferenças entre o CER e EUC, tanto no período chuvoso quanto no seco. Observou-se que o número de táxons identificados nos cinco ambientes foi maior na MDC e EUC (período chuvoso), EUC e CEQ (período seco). Com relação a composição da macrofauna edáfica, a PERMANOVA indicou significância para os fatores, ambiente e sazonalidade, bem como a interação entre ambos, evidenciando variações temporais diferenciadas nos pontos amostrados. O escalonamento multidimensional não-métrico dos ambientes nos períodos sazonais para 'CEQ-Seco' e 'MDC-Seco', demostrou diferenças em relação aos demais ambientes. Conclui-se que nos ambientes naturais (CER e MDC) e antropizados (CEQ, EUC e PAS) do bioma Cerrado, a macrofauna edáfica sofre alteração na distribuição de táxons influenciada pelo efeito de sazonalidade que contribui para a cobertura vegetal do solo, aumentando a serapilheira e criando novos habitats para os organismos edáficos. O grupo Formicidae foi o mais expressivo nos dois períodos sazonais, e sua distribuição foi mais representativa no período seco, por ser mais tolerante as elevadas temperaturas.
Classificação do potencial volumétrico de uma área submetida a manejo florestal na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós
Authors: Corrêa Kleyton Kléber dos Santos , Ximenes Lucas Cunha , Ribeiro Renato Bezerra da Silva , Gama João Ricardo Vasconcellos
Published: March 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho foi classificar o potencial volumétrico de uma área submetida ao manejo florestal sustentável na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós. Os dados são oriundos da Unidade de Produção Anual (UPA) 08 da área de manejo florestal da Cooperativa Mista da FLONA do Tapajós (COOMFLONA). Os dados foram obtidos no inventário 100% das Unidades de Trabalho (UTs), onde foram inventariadas todas as árvores com Diâmetro a Altura do Peito (DAP) ≥ 35 cm, e foram utilizados somente os dados de 26 espécies comerciais exploradas pela COOMFLONA. A classificação do potencial volumétrico foi feita para uma UT escolhida aleatoriamente. Para a estratificação volumétrica, foi utilizada a distância euclidiana simples como medida de dissimilaridade e o método Ward como algoritmo de agrupamento. A análise discriminante foi aplicada para verificar a veracidade da distinção e da classificação das quadras em classes homogêneas de estoque volumétrico. A UT-06 foi estratificada em 3 classes de estoque volumétrico, sendo I, II e III, que representam, respectivamente, as classes de alto, médio e baixo estoque volumétrico. A análise discriminante indicou que a classificação das quadras nas classes de estoque volumétrico foi 100% correta. Observou-se que as quadras agrupadas dentro da mesma classe de estoque são mais homogêneas entre si em comparação com aquelas agrupadas nas demais classes. A análise de agrupamento revelou-se ser um método eficaz de estratificação de áreas de florestas naturais heterogêneas, podendo servir como subsídio para planejamento de ações de manejo sustentável, como na definição de áreas mais produtivas e seleção de árvores para colheita.
Bento Box User Experience Study at Franklin University
Authors: Jaffy Marc
Published: March 2020

This article discusses the benefits of the bento-box method of searching library resources, including a comparison of the method with a tabbed search interface. It then describes a usability study conducted by the Franklin University Library in which 27 students searched for an article, an ebook, and a journal on two websites: one using a bento box and one using the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). Screen recordings of the searches were reviewed to see what actions users took while looking for information on each site, as well as how long the searches took. Students also filled out questionnaires to indicate what they thought of each type of search. Overall students found more items on the bento-box site, and indicated a slight preference for the bento-box search over EDS. The bento-box site also provided quicker results than the EDS site. As a result, the Franklin University library decided to implement bento-box searching on its website.
Using Augmented and Virtual Reality in Information Literacy Instruction to Reduce Library Anxiety in Nontraditional and International Students
Authors: Sample Angela
Published: March 2020

Throughout its early years, the Oral Roberts University (ORU) Library held a place of pre-eminence on campus. ORU’s founder envisioned the Library as central to all academic function and scholarship. Under the direction of the founding dean of learning resources, the Library was an early pioneer in innovative technologies and methods. However, over time, as the case with many academic libraries, the Library’s reputation as an institution crucial to the academic work on campus had diminished.

A team of librarians is now engaged in programs aimed at repositioning the Library as the university’s hub of learning. Toward that goal, the Library has long taught information literacy (IL) to students and faculty through several traditional methods, including one-shot workshops and sessions tied to specific courses of study. Now, in conjunction with disseminating augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AVMR) learning technologies, the Library is redesigning instruction to align with various realities of higher education today, including uses of AVMR in instruction and research and following best practices from research into serving

online learners;

international learners not accustomed to Western higher-education practices; and

learners returning to university study after being away from higher education for some time or having changed disciplines of study.

The Library is innovating online tutorials targeted for nontraditional and international graduate students with various combinations of AVMR, with the goal to diminish library anxiety. Numerous library and information science studies have shown a correlation between library anxiety and reduced library use, and library use has been linked to student learning, academic success, and retention.[1]

This paper focuses on IL instruction methods under development by the Library. Current indicators are encouraging as the Library embarks on the redesign of IL instruction and early development of inclusion of AVMR in IL instruction for nontraditional and international students.

Published: March 2020

Objectives:Treatment with
minimal intervention is a new philosophy in modern dentistry. High-tech
diagnostic tools and methods are used in the practice to ensure early disease
detection and treatment with minimal loss of damaged structures. The aim of this study is to investigate the application of the magnifying
method with a digital operating microscope (DOM) in combination with controlled
excavation with fluorescent method (Proface) in the treatment of asymptomatic
closed pulpitis in primary molars, treated through an indirect pulp capping.Materials and Methods:Subject of the study were 40 primary molars (19 first and 21 second molars) of children (20 girls and 20 boys) at the ages of 4-7, with cavitated carious lesions in the dentine, suspected for an asymptomatic closed pulpitis. All cases were excavated with an identical clinical protocol (conventional excavation). The excavation was controlled through the fluorescent method (Proface). An assessment of the residual dentine, with and without microscope (DOM) at three levels of magnification, was made at each stage. Results:The use of DOM shows a: larger diversity
in the colors and nuances of the carious dentine, with lighter shades being
predominant. DOM gives an opportunity for a better precision in determining the
speed of the carious process, which is in direct relation to the defensive
ability of the pulp-dentine complex. In the biological treatment of asymptomatic
closed pulpitis in primary teeth, the use of DOM magnifying technology gives
the opportunity for a precise and accurate assessment during the course of
excavation.Conclusion: The use of magnifying technology complements the objective assessment in
the area of the overpulpal dentine, which in reversible pulpitis of primary
teeth, must be preserved and used for the stimulation of the healing process.
Improvement of the Traffic Safety in the Local Community by Upgrading of the Planning Documentation Through the Annex of the Law on Planning and Construction
Authors: Pavlović Aleksandar
Published: March 2020

By reviewing The Act on planning and construction we can make a note that traffic as well as the safety does not have the appropriate place in the same act. Being unjustifiably disregarded in comparison to the other areas, traffic and its safety were respectively not given the clear definitions by this frame act as well. On the other hand, the existing legal regulations that directly define the area of traffic: The Act on traffic safety on the roads and the Act on Roads do not likewise provide clear definitions , conditions and the way of making planning documentation predominately. This condition allows and brings to the following: making of the bad planning and technical documentation respectively, surpassing of traffication engineers in the process of making planning and technical documentation, difficulties in the work of the local community units which eventually bring to the degradation of the traffic science resulting in the decrease of the traffic safety in the local community unit. In order to execute the systematic solution to the problem as well as the establishing the traffic science to the appropriate, leading position in the mission of the traffic development of the local community unit it is necessary to clearly define the way of making and implementation of the planning and technical documentation with the obligation of engagement of traffic engineers. After all the necessary actions being taken together with the agreement with the Ministry in charge it is necessary to make an annex to the Act on planning and construction in the purpose of enhancing the safety of the traffic. This way of solving this problem is the only right way for traffic and its safety to be placed to the belonging position in The Act on planning and construction and the way for the local community units to get the appropriate and usable planning and technical documentation.

In many countries, the demand for jobs in the conventional education system far exceeds the available job offers. Under the right circumstances, open and distance learning systems have proven that they can provide quality education and training to many people at lower unit costs than conventional education systems. In remote or sparsely populated areas, it is not economically feasible to provide the full range of educational opportunities and vocational training through the conventional institutions. Video conferencing as a method of distance education enables learning and training to be delivered in a more efficient and economical way. Due to the rapid development of technology, the idea that a student is trained as a young person for the same life-long job is becoming less viable. Most people are likely to change the profession for at least two or three times throughout their careers. This paper provides some technologies and standards used in video conferencing. In addition, it outlines some basic types of video conferencing and equipment requirements.
Knowledge and Attitudes of Second and Fourth Grade Secondary School Students on Children with Down Syndrome
Authors: Gračanin Andrea
Published: March 2020

In addition to the wide range of information available today, there are people or persons from different professions but also healthcare professionals who do not have sufficient knowledge of Down Syndrome (DS) and their characteristics, either due to lack of interest, lack of sources of information or an attitude that does not matter to them. They are a vulnerable population that requires increased health support and care compared to a healthy population, with an emphasis not only on the child but also on all family members who are an integral part of their lives and who care for themselves. The research “Knowledge and Attitudes of Second and Fourth Grade High School Students on Children with Down Syndrome” contributes to raising social awareness and awareness of future healthcare professionals and encourages the transition from the medical model to the social model to become more open. The questions used in the survey showed us a very good level of knowledge of second- and fourth-year high school students about the characteristics of persons with Down syndrome and their capabilities or limitations. Most students gained previous knowledge through the media 65.2%. Based on the results obtained, we are faced with a shortcoming in the current education system / practical teaching, where many healthcare professionals graduate from high school and college without ever having encountered this type of work and need to adapt.
Nature-Inspired Design: Biomimicry and Cradle to Cradle
Authors: Kekic Azra , Stojanovic Bjelic Ljiljana , Neskovic Markic Dragana
Published: March 2020

Rapid science and technology development, as well as population growth and solving global problems require a different approach to considering and solving these problems by including many scientific disciplines or technologies. The growing amount of waste and unsystematic depletion of natural resources impose new concepts and tools in creating new environmental products. The existing linear economy, based on the ‘take, make and dispose’ principle, is being replaced by a new approach, the ‘circular economy’. A circular economy seeks to sustainably manage natural resources, extend product lifecycle and reduce waste. Some of the directions or tools in a circular economy are biomimicry and cradle to cradle. Biomimicry seeks to solve problems by imitating natural processes, while cradle to cradle tends to reduce waste using knowledge obtained from nature. Understanding of nature, its systems and cycles will provide analogies and models for creation of innovative solutions to global problems.

Criminal record with imposed corrective measures: critical analysis of the concept regulated by the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus
Authors: Nagornov Kirill Igorevich
Published: March 2020

This article makes emphasis on critical analysis of the concept establishing legal consequences of the institution of criminal record with imposed corrective measures, set by the criminal law of the Republic of Belarus, for the purposes of resolving the question of its possible implementation in the Russian criminal legislation. The subject of this research is the separate positions of the criminal law of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus regulating the institution of compulsory corrective measures alongside application of norms comprising this institution by the courts of these states, as well as scientific views of the Russian and Belarus doctrine dedicated to the indicated institution and the order of its implementation and consequences therein. The author provides critical analysis to the legislative construct of application of compulsory measures in the criminal law of the Republic of Belarus as theoretical-legal[WU1] , hence the hypothesis on the need to establish the consequences of criminal record in imposition of compulsory measures did not find its approval. Moreover, considering the analyzed positions of the concept, the author brings to discourse the proposal on establishing preventative control after serving the compulsory correctional sentence that would not result in criminal record; as well as on potential implementation of the experience of Belarus pertaining to legal regulation of the order of imposing compulsory measures.  [WU1]
