Impactul inteligenței artificiale în educația muzicală și artele spectacolului
Authors:   University of Oradea, Marinova Elena
Published: December 2024

The rapid progress of new technologies has facilitated the implementation of human intelligence in a computerized framework with the aim of imitating human behaviour. One of the essential characteristics of artificial intelligence is continuous learning, based on external stimuli and information collected from the environment. Artificial intelligence analyzes the surrounding reality and acts accordingly, without the need for human help or assistance. In this sense, new intelligent technologies have a strong impact in various fields and related sciences: education, medicine, computer science, mathematics, cognitive psychology, theatre and performing arts, law, entrepreneurship. Artificial intelligence, at the intersection of education, music and the performing arts, involves elements of creativity and innovation. In recent decades, many artists have introduced computer technology into performances and thus created an interactive environment, where spectators are able to explore narrative experiences, correlated with algorithms and mathematical structures. The frequent use of artificial intelligence applications in musical education classes and theatre performances is swiftly becoming a necessity for the expression of new ideas and artistic connections.
Geologic and metallogenic overview of the Lavrion mining district: A guide for archaeological exploration
Authors: Tarantola Alexandre , Scheffer Christophe , Vanderhaeghe Olivier , Photiades Adonis , Morin Denis
Published: December 2024

The Lavrion mining district (SE Attica, Greece) comprises ore deposits of (1) low-grade Mo-Cu porphyry style, (2) Cu-Fe skarn, (3) high-temperature carbonate replacement Pb-Zn-Ag-(Au), and (4) vein and breccia Pb-Zn-Ag mineralizations. These are the result of the transport and deposition of economic elements from fluids that circulated from the construction to the gravitational collapse of the Hellenides-Aegean Domain along the Africa-Eurasia convergent plate boundary active for the last 80 Ma. Oceanic and continental rocks of the African plate were buried to high pressure conditions in the subduction zone. Progressive southward slab retreat was accompanied by magmatism and exhumation of metamorphic rocks along high- and low-angle detachment systems, with associated mineralized systems. The porphyry and skarn deposits are spatially and genetically related to the Plaka magmatic in tru sion dated 12 – 8 Ma. Carbonate replacement is associated with decarbonation and the liberation of CO2 during exhumation at the ductile to brittle transition. Fluorite and calcite gangue minerals enclosing the vein and breccia Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization were precipitated during brittle deformation from a fluid resulting from mixing of meteoric water with evaporated seawater
closer to the surface. Base and precious metals were exploited since the Bronze Age to the late 20th century. As such, the Lavrion area represents an exceptional site to study the evolution of mining technologies through history.
Keratea, Attica: Early Helladic silver-lead metallurgy and its pottery context.
Authors: Andrikou Eleni , Papafloratou Eleni , Tselepi Elena
Published: December 2024

At Zapani at Keratea region, Attica three Early Helladic sites were excavated in 2006 – 2008 during the construction works of the new Industrial Area of Keratea. All three sites yielded litharge items. The preliminary study of the pottery indicates that habitation started in EH I, but the main bulk of it dates to the EH II phase.
The density that the litharge items presented at Site 1 is only comparable to their density at the EH I Lambrika cupellation workshop. Although no installations similar to those at Lambrika were found, the site should be connected to silver production. Site 2 was most probably an area for open-air communal activities comprising eating and drinking and Site 3 was a settlement area. The presence of litharge items on these latter sites is compared to this in other EH
settlements in the Mesogeia plain. The distribution of the sites which yielded litharge items in east Attica implies that silver-lead metallurgy developed on a peripheral pattern around the mining area of Lavreotiki.
Last use and abandonment of the Cistern No. 1 ergasterion at Thorikos: Finds from the lowest levels of the cistern’s fill

Published: December 2024

This contribution focusses on the finds related to the last use and abandonment of Cistern No. 1 and found in its lowest layers during the excavation campaigns of 2011 and mainly 2012. The cistern, partially hewn in the bedrock and partially constructed with massive ashlars, belonged to a silver-working ergasterion that included the newly discovered ore washery W13 and that drew its ores from Mine No. 2. With a calculated capacity of 209.6 m3, it forms the largest cistern in Thorikos. The ergasterion, which on the basis of finds in the foundation layers of the south wall of the cistern probably came into existence in the late 5th century BC, remained in operation (perhaps with a hiatus after the Peloponnesian War) until it was abandoned in the Early Hellenistic period, ca. 325-275 BC. After having fallen in disuse as a metallurgical cistern and after a process of filling in with mudbrick debris, disintegrated cistern lining and erosion material from around the cistern, the remaining part of the cistern was still able to contain some water. At some point in the Late Hellenistic period (2nd/1st century BC) a limited activity is to be seen around the cistern: a visitor or inhabitant of Thorikos dropped a water jar in the cistern and a fragment of a brown-glazed lagynos (?) dated to the first quarter of the 2nd century BC found its way into the fill. This process of micro-events can be traced in the archaeological record of successive filling layers. The upper layers of this fill were mixed with Late Antique/Early Byzantine pottery and mill stone fragments suggesting some new activities around the cistern and Mine No. 2.

Authors: Rehman Saif ur , Shoaib Muhammad , Siddiqui Imran , Abbas Zeeshan
Published: December 2024

A suitable design of solar power project requires accurate measurements of solar radiation for the site of investigation. Such measurements play a pivotal role in the installation of PV systems. While conducting such studies, in general, global solar radiation (GSR) is recorded, whereas diffuse component of solar radiation on a horizontal surface is seldom recorded. The objective of the present study is to assess diffuse solar radiation (DSR) on horizontal surfaces by using polynomial models for Lahore, Pakistan (27.89 N, 78.08 E) and by correlating clearness index with diffuse fraction. The established models are compared with some of the existing models from the literature. Performance of models is evaluated by employing five goodness-of-fit (GoF) tests that are, mean bias error (MBE), root mean square (RMSE), Coefficient of Determination (R2), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC). The comparison of the results of goodness-of-fit tests with those of existing models indicate that the models established in the present study are performed better as compared to the existing models. The values of statistical error analysis further suggested that a cubic model with a good accuracy of 97.5% and AIC of -22.8 is relatively more suitable for this climatic region for estimating diffuse solar radiation. The study shows that the model developed is in good agreement with Elhadidy and Nabi model with an accuracy of 96.1% and AIC of 4.4 and satisfactory results are obtained for Lahore. The findings can help to give a generous understanding of solar radiation in order to optimize the solar energy conversion systems. The results of this study provide a better understanding of the associations between global solar radiation, clearness index and diffused fraction for the region under study.

Contrastive Study of Phraseological Units With a Name of Animals in Spanish and Armenian
Authors: Hripsime Ohanyan Hripsime
Published: December 2024

The present research aims to carry out a contrastive analysis of phraseological units with names of animals (Zoonyms) in the mentioned languages. The relevance of this work is due to modern interest in comparative typological works and lack of comprehensive study of the topic in the professional literature, despite the abundance of phraseological dictionaries, scientific works and related studies. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of Spanish and Armenian phraseological units and many issues related to this area still require further study. The choice of the topic is defined by inadequate knowledge of phraseological elements that contain names of animals, which most clearly and directly reflect the selected cultural traditions of a given nation and the features of national mentality. The novelty of this monograph lies primarily in its exploration of a previously unaddressed issue. It marks the first attempt to conduct a comparative analysis of phraseological units found in Spanish and Armenian dictionaries, specifically those featuring animal names and the features of synonymy and antonymy of animal names in the Spanish and Armenian languages, namely the issues of verbal and phrasal synonymy as well as the effectiveness of phrase formation in both languages.

Published: December 2024

Myelodysplastische Neoplasien (MDS) gehören zu den häufigsten hämatologischen Erkrankungen und betreffen vor allem ältere Menschen. Klinisch stehen die insuffiziente Hämatopoese und die damit einhergehenden Symptome (z. B. Abgeschlagenheit, Luftnot, Infekte und Blutungen) im Vordergrund. Gefährdet sind die Patienten außerdem durch ein erhöhtes Risiko der Transformation in eine akute myeloische Leukämie (AML). Zugelassene therapeutische Optionen sind limitiert und bieten abgesehen von der allogenen Stammzelltransplantation keine kurativen Heilungschancen. Im Jahr 2024 ist nun endlich ­frischer Wind in die Therapie der MDS gekommen. So führt die aktuelle Zulassungserweiterung des Erythrozytenreifungsaktivators Luspatercept zur Änderung der Erstlinientherapie beim Niedrigrisiko-MDS. Positive Studienergebnisse neuer innovativer Substanzen wie des Telomerase-Inhibitors Imetelstat wecken Hoffnung auf neue Behandlungsoptionen bei den MDS. In diesem Beitrag möchten wir eine Übersicht über die aktuelle Diagnostik und Therapie im Jahr 2024 geben.

The legal construction of the Indonesian nation through Article 20 paragraph (1), Article 20A paragraph (1), (3) Article 21, Article 28E paragraph (1), Article 28E paragraph (2), Article 28I paragraph (1), Article 28I paragraph (2), Article 29 paragraph (1), and Article 29 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. has provided a guarantee of recognition of religion and other believers. Cultural diversity in the realm of religion is a special characteristic of Indonesian society. Various cultures, races, tribes and religions have become an inseparable part of the identity of the Indonesian people since before this country was founded. However, violations of religious freedom still often occur in Indonesia. Various conflicts regarding permits for places of worship are prohibited by the majority. This has violated human rights which are stated in the 1945 Constitution. Joint Ministerial Regulation (PBM) Number 8 and Number 9 of 2000 should be the basis for protection and equality for the construction of places of worship. However, this regulation has not been able to fully accommodate the rights of believers because the provisions of Article 14 of the Joint Ministerial Regulation are still discriminatory. The Draft Law on the Protection of Religious Communities needs special attention to unravel the problems of building houses of worship and as a form of concrete legal protection for religious communities and believers.

A nação imaginada por André Rebouças
Authors: Daibert Júnior Robert
Published: December 2024

O artigo analisa a visão da nação brasileira idealizada por André Rebouças em dois momentos:  nos anos de seu envolvimento na campanha abolicionista nos anos 1880 e no período de seu autoexílio (1889-1898) após a queda da monarquia. Na primeira parte do texto, analisa-se a imagem da nação construída por Rebouças como resultado futuro de seu projeto de intervenção social, voltado para a inclusão de ex-escravizados e imigrantes pobres em uma Democracia Rural. Em sua compreensão, essa comunidade imaginada seria mais democrática por esvaziar o poder dos latifundiários e por garantir a inserção efetiva de grupos marginalizados na esfera produtiva, por meio do acesso às pequenas propriedades de terra. Na segunda parte do texto, apresenta-se a inserção da figura de D. Pedro II como herói e protagonista daquele modelo de nação imaginada por Rebouças, em uma visão idealizada da monarquia deposta e de seu chefe de estado, acompanhada de críticas ao Brasil republicano.

Becoming a first-time entrepreneur in your 40s and older: lessons from survival analysis
Authors: Dvouletý Ondřej , Svobodová Ivana , Bočková Nina , Šebestová Jarmila
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This article aims to have a better understanding of a specific group of first-time entrepreneurs starting a business at the age of 40 years and older (associated in the literature with the terms “third age” or “silver age”), often experiencing career shocks or feeling a need to change their working lives and habits.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research explores the situation in a small, open Central European economy, the Czech Republic. It is based on extensive business register data covering the years 2010-2023, allowing first-time entrepreneurs within this age group to be captured. These individual-level data, combined with information from other sources, created a dataset of 178,388 first-time entrepreneurs aged 40+ by the time of starting their business. These were used to study their characteristics and analyse factors shaping their business survival.

Findings: We found that, on average, 12,857 individuals aged 40+ become entrepreneurs for the first time annually; their characteristics differ in terms of age, gender, sectoral orientation, region of doing business, and education. The results from the Cox-Hazard survival analysis support the importance of these factors, highlighting, for example, that females had higher chances of closing their business activity, and that the likelihood of closing the business increases with age.

Originality/Value: This article uniquely addresses the population of third-age entrepreneurs in a specific country context. Becoming an entrepreneur at the third age might be an opportunity to change working habits, leave employment, and enhance work-life balance through an entrepreneurial career pathway. This is important, especially in the context of population ageing and increased life length expectancy, allowing individuals to stay economically active longer.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship; First-time Entrepreneur; Third Age; Silver Age, 40+ population; Czech Republic; SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.

Deconstructing the Museum: Analysis of Spatial Arrangement and Its Impact on the Visibility of Childhood in the National History Museum.
Authors:   Centro del Patrimonio UC, Marsal Daniela
Published: December 2024

Museums are spaces for the representation, creation, and dissemination of images, discourses, and imaginaries. All of this is produced in their galleries, both by their objects and discourses, as well as by the arrangement, selection and ways of representing them. Therefore, the possible approaches to analyse and deconstruct the museum and its collections can arise from multiple angles, including spatial and visual composition. This article aims, in an exploratory manner, to deconstruct the museum in relation to its spatial arrangement by analysing seven objects from the permanent exhibition of the National Historical Museum related to childhood. Childhood is chosen as a theme as it is often underrepresented, with few objects in the exhibition, in order to explore how the positioning and distribution of these objects might contribute to their limited visibility. Finally, the potential of this approach will be discussed through the analysis of exhibition politics and poetics, and the hidden curriculum, in order to consider how certain distributions, positions, modes, and forms of displaying objects might influence what is narrated, represented, and perceived in the exhibition spaces.

Published: December 2024

President Jokowi issued Presidential Decree Number 7 of 2020 on March 13, 2020, by forming the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The implementation of the Task Force can involve and/or coordinate with ministries/non-ministerial government agencies, central and regional government agencies, the private sector, and other parties deemed necessary. This phenomenon was captured by the Muhammadiyah community organization by establishing the MCCC (Muhammadiyah Covid-19 Command Center). Muhammadiyah has proven to be the institution that cares most about handling Covid-19. The task of this institution is to provide digital socialization to the Indonesian people, especially in the behavior of preventing the transmission of COVID-19. This research is descriptive, using data collection techniques such as interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique uses an interactive model from Miles and Huberman, while the data validity test uses source triangulation. The research findings state that MCCC carries out a series of stages of digital socialization in handling COVID-19. Environmental analysis is done by updating information about COVID-19 news data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Targeting is determined by taking the productive age of 18-34 years. Designing includes the use of the tagline “Optimistic in Facing COVID-19, which is socialized through social media starting from the website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. MCCC also collaborates with partners, including Muhammadiyah TV, Kompas TV, Suara Muhammadiyah, LensaMu, Narasi TV, Gramasurya, and DFAT Australia. Government policy in the Minister of Health Regulation No. 23 of 2023 concerning guidelines for handling COVID-19 is the legal basis for MCCC in carrying out its duties. Some of the challenges in implementing COVID-19 prevention communication strategies include resource readiness, effective and targeted communication, and local culture and beliefs. In the final stage, MCCC provides reporting as an evaluation of the results of activities every 3 months. The success of the Muhammadiyah COVID-19 Command Center (MCCC) in overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic can be seen through various strategic and measurable outcomes developed through comprehensive programs. The steps taken by MCCC have received widespread appreciation from various groups, including the general public, government, and international institutions. The award reflects MCCC’s significant contribution in helping to overcome the impact of the pandemic.

Published: December 2024

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation that leads to the destruction of the dental supporting tissues, often resulting in tooth loss. The treatment, consisting of supragingival and subgingival instrumentation, faces challenges such as the difficulty of cleaning in deep areas and the need for patient adherence to regular care. Supportive Periodontal Therapy (TPS) is essential for maintaining the results associated with periodontal health and controlling disease recurrence, and is composed of traditional and adjuvant approaches, such as Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT), probiotics, subgingival polishing with air-polishing, among others. This literature review analyzes TPS protocols in terms of efficacy and applicability, suggesting that personalization of treatment, according to the patient's condition and adherence, is crucial for long-term success. It is concluded that the combination of innovative techniques with traditional practices and continuous patient education promote better results in periodontal stability.
Green Synthesis of Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Nonlinear Optics and Applications
Authors: Henari Fryad Z. , Deen G. Roshan
Published: December 2024

This study presents a green method for synthesizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing Gum Arabic extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The visible color change and the presence of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks confirmed the formation of silver and gold nanoparticles. The size of the nanoparticles was determined from the UV-Vis spectra data, and the results were compared to sizes measured by TEM. The nonlinear refraction (n2) and nonlinear absorption (β) coefficient of AgNPs and AuNPs at 488 and 514 nm were investigated under continuous wave mode excitation using the Z-scan technique. By fitting the experimental data to the Z-scan theoretical equations, the nonlinear refraction index and the nonlinear absorption coefficient were found. The origin of the nonlinearities was discussed, and it was proposed to be of thermal effect for the nonlinear refractive index and reverse saturation absorption for nonlinear absorption. Optical limiting and switching were demonstrated by taking advantage of the samples’ nonlinear optical characteristics.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN NURSING
Authors: Bušac Vesna , Šimunić Nevena
Published: December 2024

Nurses are often exposed to work under pressure, the challenges of making extremely quick and responsible decisions, and dealing with other people's pain, suffering and losses. Of all healthcare professionals, they spend the most time with the patient, creating a special relationship based on trust. Previously, it was an intuitive process where nurses were only sometimes successful. Today, in evidence-based nursing, we are aware of how important emotional intelligence is in all aspects of nursing and nursing education. Physical fatigue is less of a problem for nurses than emotional exhaustion and compassion fatigue. Therefore, effective emotional regulation is necessary to improve business satisfaction. Managing emotions is achieved by developing emotional intelligence, which has become a more ubiquitous concept in nursing in recent years. The most desirable employees in healthcare (and elsewhere) are those with developed academic intellectual abilities, but also emotional intelligence. With the help of the components of emotional intelligence, the internal mechanism of the specific nurse-patient relationship could be explained, which has proven to help both the patient in achieving favorable health care outcomes and the nurses themselves in acting and understanding the very essence of nursing. Emotional intelligence as a mental skill helps an individual in various personal, social, professional, communication and financial domains such as: time management, decision making, service delivery, responsibility, empathy, presentation skills, stress tolerance, trust and communication management. This overview paper will try to present its importance in nursing.
PATIENT CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE
Authors: Poljak Leonarda-Ana , Bis Sabina
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Huntington’s disease is a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a triad of clinical features affecting an individual’s cognitive, physical, and psychological functions. Symptoms typically manifest in middle age, between 30 and 40 years, leading to death within one to two decades after the onset of neurological deterioration. This incurable disease renders patients entirely dependent on care, significantly impacting family members, friends, and close associates. Patient care focuses on alleviating symptoms, maintaining functional ability, and preserving quality of life. It is provided by a multidisciplinary healthcare team that includes pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Objective: This paper aims to conduct a literature review and present a comprehensive overview of nursing care processes for patients with Huntington’s disease. Conclusion: Guidelines for caring for patients with Huntington's disease provide a foundation for a multidisciplinary approach and enhance patient quality of life, emphasizing comfort, safety, and dignity. As key team members, involving specialized nurses contributes to reducing hospitalization durations, optimizing care levels, and improving the quality of life for patients with Huntington’s disease.

“PATIENT RIGHTS” AND “INFORMED CONSENT” IN UNIVERSITY CURRICULA AT PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors: Marin Šunjić , Mandić Kaja
Published: December 2024

Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is the responsibility of the entity the Republic Srpska (RS), ten counties in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H) and Brčko District (BD).Higher education in Bosnia and Herzegovina is regulated by the Framework Law on Higher Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina.The rights of patients are determined by the Law on Rights, Obligations and Responsibilities of Patients, which determines the rights, obligations and responsibilities of patients in health care, rules of those entitlements, the protection and improvement of those rights, as well as other issues related to rights, obligations and responsibilities of patients.Informed consent, as one of patients' rights, is a free manifestation of the patient's will, i.e. his consent to the implementation of the proposed medical measure or participation in research, and for its validity the patient's competence, adequacy of information and voluntariness are required.The aim of this paper is to review available curricula and programs on the websites of organizational units at public universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to see how much the concepts of "patient rights" and "informed consent" are studied at public universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
Authors: Sušac Mirela , Ruf Vladimir
Published: December 2024

It can be asserted that the Scientific Revolution and its development represent a complex series of events that have occurred. The opportunities and possibilities we enjoy in society today are result of the actions of many bold individuals that allow us to experience a vision of the world that would have been difficult to imagine in the past. Scientific Revolution marked progress in science, technology, and society. It laid the foundations of the scientific method, primarily based on observation and experimentation. Academies and scientific institutions were established, promoting science in its finest form. Science itself has the ability to evolve, regulate, and recover. With the changes in science, universities also evolved, responding to variable circumstances in social life since the 12 th century. University, a place of research and teaching, transformed into a conscious participant involving many stakeholders. The
Revolution reconstructed science based on new attitudes within certain communities. Its goal was to modify frameworks through the influence and persuasion of the scientific community. Scientific Revolution (Latin revolvere to return, to overturn) according to Rodin, is essentially the revolution of science itself, while Hegel, from a philosophical perspective, sees Scientific Revolution as nothing other than the return of individual sciences in particular sectors of being to the origin of being itself. Term "science" comes from the Greek word epistēmē understanding, comprehension, knowledge, and the Latin scientia, scientiae knowledge based on data that can be proven and reproduced. The objective of this paper was to demonstrate how intellectual capital, which includes results of scientific research, scientific discoveries of theoretical, developmental, and practical significance, as well as the educational level and research activities of the active population, becomes a crucial factor for the contemporary functioning of social reproduction in the most developed countries in world, significantly influencing the overall social and economic development and transforming social reproduction through the contributions of individuals with their knowledge, skills and creativity.
