Compartir por altruismo o equidad: Prosocialidad según el nivel socioeconómico
Authors: Díaz-Rivera Paola Eunice , Zaragoza-Romero Gustavo Andrés , Díaz-Loving Rolando
Published: January 2023

La paradoja “Tener menos dar más” consiste en la generosidad de personas con bajos recursos económicos. Sin embargo, sólo se había explorado con estudiantes de clase media alta y con juegos del dictador con puntos. En este estudio realizamos el juego del dictador con dinero con 24 personas, de ocupaciones diversas y de niveles socioeconómicos (NSE) altos y bajos, con el objetivo de observar si la paradoja se mantenía y conocer los motivos que los participantes daban a su conducta. Los resultados muestran que las personas de NSE alto dieron significativamente más en promedio (M = 18.2, DE = 4.06); sin embargo, las personas de NSE bajo en general tendieron a dar la mitad de su dinero (M = 10, DE = 4.08) apelando a razones de equidad. Si bien la paradoja “Tener menos dar más” no se observó, se discuten los procesos que llevan a las personas de diferentes recursos económicos a compartir.
Causes of Customers’ Cognitive Dissonance and Product Return Frequency: A Malaysian Packaged Food Context
Authors: Grace Ing , Phang Phang , Pei Ling Ricadonna , Osman Zaiton
Published: January 2023

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: The cost and frequency of purchased product return are of considerable concern to marketers and retailers. This paper examines the post-purchase cognitive states that influence product return and the drivers that cause cognitive dissonance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A total of 208 valid responses were collected and analysed using SPSS v.22 and SmartPLS 3.2.8 software. Research findings: The findings indicate that emotional dissonance and product dissonance were the main contributing factors determining product return frequency. Switching barriers, customer opportunism and customer attitude significantly affected the level of dissonance; the consideration of liberal return policies and customer expectations of product did not. Findings support the mediating hypothesis of emotional dissonance, and show that product dissonance significantly affects emotional dissonance. Importantly, emotional dissonance has a larger impact on product return frequency than product dissonance. Theoretical implications: This study expands upon the existing literature by providing valuable insight into understanding the external and internal factors contributing to cognitive dissonance and product return frequency. Importantly, the study contributes to the conceptualisation of the mediating role of emotional dissonance in consumer behaviour, particularly in the retail context. Practitioner/Policy implications: The findings are useful in assisting grocery marketers in designing and implementing effective customer retention strategies and loyalty programmes. Pairing of right perceptions about product quality, quantity and volume with cost would be effective to reduce emotional dissonance, and retailers could highlight exclusive product offerings to reduce product dissonance. Research limitation/Implication: Future studies could take into account the influences of demographic variables and various communication platforms which might cause differences in consumers’ product return behaviours. This study only presents the findings of a cross-sectional study. A longitudinal study could be conducted to compare consumers’ product return patterns and cognitive dissonance over a longer time frame.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study aims to explore the wellness of college students after the COVID-19 pandemic. College students' physical and mental health were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, there were numerous studies on the wellness of college students. However, since the majority of studies after COVID-19 only address physical or mental health in fragments, this study seeks to investigate the overall wellness of college students after COVID-19. Methods: The wellness of college students was measured across 12 dimensions using the Korean Prototype of Wellness Index (KP-WI), which was adapted to the Korean context by translating Travis and Ryan's 2004 Wellness Inventory into Korean. Results: As a result, a total of 193 college students were surveyed with 160 KP-WI questions, and gender, grade, and major differences were analyzed. ''Eating', 'Moving' and 'Transcending' ranked lowest in college students' wellness after the COVID-19 pandemic, and there were statistically significant gender differences in 'Moving', 'Communicating', 'Finding Meaning', and 'Transcending'. In terms of 'Breathing', 'Sensing', 'Playing and working', 'Communicating', and 'Finding Meaning', there were statistically significant differences between grades. However, the difference was not statistically significant by major. Conclusion: This study contribute to the expansion of wellness research and serve as the foundation for the creation of programs to improve college students' wellness.

Authors:   The Convergence Tourism Contents Society, Seo Kyeong Do , Lee JungEun
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the resulting meanings by identifying the structural relationships among crisis and risk communication, emotional response, reputation, and behavioral intention in tourism destinations. Methods: A theoretical study was conducted using existing academic research, and a questionnaire was formed based on this, and then a empirical investigation and analysis were conducted to understand the meaning of the result. Results: Crisis/risk types at tourist destinations formed a significant relationship in the relationship between Crisis/risk types and positive emotions in the relationship between tourists' emotional reactions,but no significant influencing relationship was formed between crisis/danger types and negative emotions. Crisis/risk response at a tourist destination has a significant effect on positive and negative emotions, which are emotional responses of tourists, in the relationship between tourists' emotional responses. Regarding the relationship between positive and negative emotional responses, which are emotional responses, positive emotions formed a significant relationship with the reputation of a tourist destination, but negative emotions did not form a significant relationship with the reputation of a tourist destination.The relationship between the reputation of a tourist destination and the behavioral intention of a tourist formed a significant influencing relationship. Conclusion: Crisis/risk situations appear everywhere, whether in everyday areas or tourist destinations. Recognition related to this should be carefully looked at by tourists, local businesses, and administrative agencies, and ultimately, it is judged that it will be recognized as a positive attitude toward tourism destinations.

Authors:   The Convergence Tourism Contents Society, Jo Han-Na , Kim Young-Mi
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study gives the policy suggesions that can contribute to the increase related people and settlement population through Workation. Methods: In order to achieve the research purpose, Focus Group Interview is used and the sample was selected as institutional officials, Workation operators and so on. Results: First, regarding the necessity and expected effect of Workation, consumers commented Workation helps relieve work stress and increase work efficiency, and suppliers and expert groups paid attention to local extinction and revitalization of the local economy. Second, as the best place for Workation, the consumer group chose a quiet and beautiful natural environment outside of the city, and the supplier and expert groups preferred a place with well-equipped infrastructure. Third, the connection between Workation and tourism is said to be highly connected to consumers, suppliers, and experts, and programs that can encompass generations and reflect the needs of participants should be planned, but above all, the charm of Jeollanam-do should be enhanced by differentiated programs that reflect regional uniqueness. Fourth, as a support policy, consumers should have programs and systems to encourage participation in Workation from the perspective of companies, and suppliers and experts need to establish local government’s active policies to revitalize Workation and establish infrastructure using idle resources in the region. Conclusion: This study confirmed that Workation can contribute to the revitalization of tourism and the local economy as a way to induce population inflow into local cities and further increase the resident population.

Authors:   The Convergence Tourism Contents Society, Han Ae Ri , Kim Jeong Hyun
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to verify the structural relationships among leisure time activity, leisure environment, autonomy, and a self-directed learning attitude. Considering leisure activity should not be understood separately from learning activity in adolescents’ lives, it is necessary to explore leisure activity-related variables to promote adolescents' self-directed learning attitudes. Methods: Structural equation modeling was conducted using the data of 924 high school students who responded to the survey on adolescents’ play and sport activity by the National Youth Policy Institute. Results: The findings of this study were as follows. First, leisure time activity positively affected autonomy, but leisure environment didn’t. Second, both the leisure environment and autonomy positively affected the self-directed learning attitude, but leisure time activity didn’t affect the self-directed learning attitude. Finally, results of mediation analyses showed that autonomy fully mediated the relationship between leisure time activity and self-directed learning attitude. Conclusion: This research is expected to draw the implications necessary for encouraging adolescents' autonomy and self-directed learning attitude, by reconfirming the value of adolescent leisure activity. Results were interpreted and implications to adolescent education were included at the end of research.

Proteomics has been leveraged to study type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the majority of available data are from White participants. Here, we extend prior work by analyzing a large cohort of self-identified African Americans (AAs) in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS, n=1,313). We found 325 proteins associated with incident diabetes after adjusting for age, sex, and batch (FDR-q<0.05) measured using a single-stranded DNA aptamer affinity-based method in fasting plasma. A subset was independent of established markers of diabetes development pathways such as adiposity, glycemia, and/or insulin resistance—suggesting potential novel biological processes associated with disease development. Thirty-six associations remained significant after further adjustments for BMI, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), cholesterol levels, hypertension, statin use, and renal function. Twelve, including the top associations of complement factor H (CFH), formimidoyltransferase-cyclodeaminase (FTCD), serine/threonine-protein kinase 17B (STK17B), and high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), replicated in a meta-analysis of self-identified White cohorts—the Framingham Heart Study and Malmö Diet and Cancer Study—supporting the generalizability of these biomarkers. A selection of these diabetes-associated proteins also improved risk prediction. Thus, we uncovered both novel and broadly generalizable associations by studying a diverse population, providing a more complete understanding of the diabetes associated proteome.

The developments of the scientific and pedagogical staff of the Department of Engineering Geodesy of the Lviv Polytechnic National University in the direction of increasing the accuracy of geodetic measurements in the construction, operation and repair of unique buildings, structures or separate technological equipment, which is particularly important for their safe operation, are considered. Auxiliary equipment (improved light-reflecting mark, device for linear-angular measurements, spherical reflector with a stand, two-prism transducer-vector) has been developed to increase the accuracy of measurements of parameters of engineering structures by electronic total stations. On the basis of theoretical calculations, an optimal image of the geodetic mark for viewing at different distances is proposed, and a three-dimensional holder is developed to compensate for the non-perpendicular error. A technique was developed and implemented in a device for linear-angular measurements, which made it possible to determine the length of segments from 1 to 30 meters with an accuracy of 0.1-0.3 mm. In order to transfer the coordinates of the geodetic base from the reference network to the measurement points of building structures, a spherical reflector and a stand were developed, in the process of using which errors in centering, reduction and height measurement are compensated. The application of the developed spherical reflector was tested during the restoration of the design position of the large-sized equipment of the power complex facility with an accuracy of 0.5 mm. To determine the dimensions of irregularly shaped structures in order to minimize the angles of the prism (to directly determine the coordinates of the prism tip), a two-prism encoder vector was theoretically justified and developed. The accuracy of determining the spatial coordinates by the vector encoder was investigated using the final measure as a reference value. According to the results of research, the deviation of the distances determined with the help of the vector transducer from the reference value is 0.3 mm.

The article is devoted to assessing the effect of personal respiratory protective equipment on the vital activity of the human body. In the context of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the society had to take emergency measures to prevent the spread of infection, the most common of which was the massive and uncontrolled wearing of masks. This further complicated the situation of those who are prescribed to use personal protective equipment for production needs, to protect themselves from hazardous and harmful production factors. The survey revealed the number of physiological and psychological reactions to the effects of masks both during their wearing and after removal. Among the negative consequences: difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, headaches, as well as health-threatening conditions associated with disruption of the heart. A relationship was found between the presence of chronic diseases of the respiratory system in the respondents, and an increase in the number of complaints of difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, fainting and heart failure while wearing a mask. The physiological reactions of the body that occurred after the cessation of the use of personal respiratory protective equipment, especially after prolonged wearing, were analyzed. It is shown that the revealed physiological reactions, especially in chronic manifestation, negatively affect the human immunity, making it vulnerable both to hazardous and harmful production factors, as well as to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, primarily pulmonary. People with diseases of the cardiorespiratory system are at particular risk.

In the article the relevance is substantiated related to improving the organizational and technological schemes for handling of drilled cuttings of hydrocarbons of a polycomponent composition from the standpoint of improving the environmental safety of territories during the development and operation of oil and gas fields, as well as ensuring the industrial safety. Analysis of the existing drilled cuttings management systems is carried out, and the classification of their storage facilities is presented depending on the time, their location and on the waste management scheme to prevent flooding and waste spills due to emergencies. The requirements are given concerning the construction of temporary accumulators and sludge pits, as well as the conditions for classifying the waste management system as a pitless drilling method. The recommendations are proposed for choosing an accident-free organizational and technological scheme for handling of drilled cuttings, and measures to reduce the negative effect on the components of the environment during the accumulation and disposal of drilled cuttings. The features of accumulative drilling technology are considered, which provide for the accumulation of generated drilled cuttings in the temporary storage facilities with their subsequent processing, neutralization and (or) disposal without removal from the territory of the well construction/reconstruction site. The causes and consequences of emergency situations are presented. The implemented organizational and technological scheme of drilling waste management is presented using a logical and information model. Recommendations are given on the choice of an organizational and technological scheme for handling of drilled cuttings when improving the systems for managing the flow of drilled cuttings from the wells of hydrocarbons of the multicomponent composition, depending on the hazard class of drilled cuttings generated by the subsurface users, as well as the territories with environmental restrictions.

ABSTRACTThis article shows a new perspective about female terrorist offenders, predominantly female suicide bombers. The method is a literature review with human rights and victim perspectives. The authors argue they are not indeed offenders in the terrorism and terror agenda, and even if they are lone offenders, they also have human rights. They are victims of power relations. How can female terrorist offenders, especially female suicide bombers and their families, get human rights? This article argues human rights ideas for them despite their position in society and legal as offenders or families of offenders. The victim and feminism perspectives use to support this idea. Female terrorist offenders include female suicide bombers who are still alive need protection in their daily lives, such as mental health and health access. [Artikel ini menunjukkan perspektif baru tentang perempuan pelaku terorisme terutama perempuan pelaku teror bunuh diri.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe relationship between men and women is dominated by men. Likewise in village society, in all spaces women become the second class. This paper describes group activities to resist the concept that has been perpetuated as a concrete manifestation of the ideology of feminism. This activity is carried out by the Women Farmers Group (KWT Karya Tani), which is located in Pengalusan Village, Mrebet District, Purbalingga Regency, Central Java. The study approach uses qualitative (ethnography) because it is more to do a more comprehensive study. KWT Karya Tani's agricultural products are several types of organic vegetables. Some of them are processed into sambal kucai, gethuk and peuyeum. From the results of group production and management, KWT won 1st place at the national level from the Ministry of Agriculture, which previously won 1st place in Purbalingga Regency in the yard competition. As subordinated subjects, women in this group can create a solid integration. In addition, they are located in Christian groups, while most of the village society are Muslim. There is a stigma that tends to show social boundaries on the basis of religion. This can further strengthen solidarity and social integration. Finally, at this point, KWT Karya Tani has resisted and deconstructed the power of patriarchy and majority.

Authors: Suud Fitriah M. , Chaer Moh Toriqul
Published: January 2023

The phenomenon of veiled women in Indonesia has significant development. The use of the niqab is a symbol of the rise of Islam in the post-modern era. A niqab is also an anti-thesis of modern lifestyles that tend to be hedonistic and completely open. This research focuses explicitly on ethnographers working models using the phenomenology paradigm. This research explores women who cover their faces, and why they are more accepting of polygamy. The author found reasons for men to do polygamy and why women in Indonesia reject polygamy practices. The results found that women wear the niqab because, first, as orders from their husbands, second because of inner awareness caused by their understanding of religious education. The practice of women in niqab becomes a kind of artifact of the loyalty of a woman and is directly proportional to the issue of polygamy. The modes used as the legitimacy of men for polygamy, among others, are secret marriage, falsification of self-identity, second marriage without the first wife's consent, coercion of the granting of permission, and consent of the first wife by the husband with various forms of violence and intimidating force

Meanwhile, on average, the intensity of reporting based on the type of sexual violence most frequently mentioned by the news media is rape. The relationship between the perpetrator and the victim also varies, ranging from close people, people who are known, actors who are in state institutions, to people (perpetrators) who are not known. In addition, the cluster analysis in NVivo 12 plus shows that each media has a relationship with a different level of relationship closeness value, which indicates that each media has produced narratives and opinions related to sexual violence in North Maluku.
Prática pedagógica e docência: um olhar a partir da epistemologia do conceito
Authors: Santoro Franco Maria Amélia
Published: January 2023

Tem por objeto as práticas pedagógicas, da dificuldade de sua compreensão como conceito à complexidade da análise de seus fundamentos como práxis. Objetiva elencar os princípios que fundamentam as práticas pedagógicas, que, de acordo com a perspectiva teórica adotada, só podem ser compreendidas na perspectiva da totalidade, ou seja, como síntese de múltiplas contradições. Destaca que as práticas docentes são respostas às configurações provenientes das práticas pedagógicas, afirmando que não é da natureza das práticas docentes encontrarem-se avulsas, desconectadas de um todo, sem o fundamento das práticas pedagógicas que lhes conferem sentido e direção. Conclui que a prática docente avulsa, sem ligação com o todo, perde o sentido e a direção.
Avaliação da aprendizagem de estudantes com deficiência na educação superior
Authors: Pieczkowski Tania Mara Zancanaro
Published: January 2023

Aborda a avaliação de estudantes com deficiência no contexto da educação superior na perspectiva da educação inclusiva e evidencia as inquietações docentes diante desse desafio. Parte da concepção da avaliação como um processo multifacetado e destaca alguns de seus aspectos, como a aprendizagem discente. O texto está inspirado em um excerto da tese de doutorado da autora, cujo objetivo foi tensionar a inclusão de estudantes com deficiência na educação superior e compreender os efeitos desse processo na docência universitária. O material empírico, gerado por meio de entrevistas narrativas realizadas com professores que atuam junto a estudantes com deficiência em diferentes cursos de graduação, em duas universidades de Santa Catarina, foi examinado sob a perspectiva da análise do discurso, amparada em referenciais foucaultianos. O estudo aponta que a presença de estudantes com deficiência na docência universitária potencializa os conflitos inerentes à prática avaliativa da aprendizagem, caracterizada, predominantemente, como classificatória e seletiva, enquanto os movimentos da inclusão produzem subjetividades solidárias. No encontro com estudantes com deficiência, os professores descobrem a pluralidade da inclusão, passando a compreendê-la como um desafio que provoca desassossegos, mas também a desconstrução de olhares padronizados e a compreensão de que, para ensinar e avaliar, é preciso aprender com a diferença.
Structural design and selected aspects of numerical simulations of a prototype container-platform for intermodal transport
Authors: Krasoń Wiesław , Dobrowolski Daniel
Published: January 2023

The object of the research is a cheap, easy to build basic module with dimensions corresponding to typical railway containers. Such structures can be used to support the intermodal rail-road transport of wooden and metal logs. The basic structure and one assembled from two or more platforms with various longitudinal dimensions ensures high mobility resulting from the modular structure and the possibility of selecting transport configurations as well as the use of various forms of loading - unloading, including: typical crane operations, the use of forklifts or hook winches. The use of a platform-container will eliminate the need to repeat the operation of individual loading or unloading of each unit of the transported load e.g. a single block of wood, a bundle of bars, as a metal log, a single pipe, during each reloading operation - from the place of logging, production, storage, etc. The paper presents selected problems of the preliminary design and numerical strength tests of a single base module of the platform in a prototype version with dimensional equivalent of a 10'-foot railway container.

Published: January 2023

Cassava root flours from five different cultivars (C-MSAF2, C-P4/10, C-P98/0505, C-P98/0002, and C-UKF8) were studied for their potential application in the food industry. Proximate composition, functional, thermal, and pasting properties were investigated. Cassava flours were high in carbohydrates (85-86%) and their amino acid profiles varied. Cultivars C-MSAF2, C-P98/0002, and C-UKF8 showed high protein content (5.06%), mineral content (2.36%), and the largest particle size (72.33 µm), respectively. Solubility of cassava flours decreased as temperatures increased, however, swelling power and water absorption capacity increased. C-MSAF2 showed the highest peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity, and shortest peak time. C-P98/0505 showed the highest final viscosity, the highest pasting temperature, and the longest peak time. Cassava flours studied are promising candidates for utilization in the baking industry, however, their incorporation into baked product formulations needs further investigation.

The values of the parameters obtained by the simulation were compared with the actual values and conclusions were drawn. The main goal of this work is to determine the precision of the operation of the transformer model in Simulink, and based on the obtained results, the same model can be used in algorithms for checking the operation of the entire power system.
Difficulties of Defending International Humanitarian Law at the International Level
Authors: Guțan Sabin
Published: January 2023

In an armed conflict the respect for international humanitarian law is the essential element to reduce its destructive effects. The application of international humanitarian law is, however, not always taken into account by states and members of the armed forces. When this obligation is seriously violated, the international community, through the UN, must intervene to restore international peace and security. Unfortunately, current armed conflicts have proven that this system is not effective, especially when it has to be activated against a permanent veto-wielding member of the Security Council, such as Russia. To make this system effective and to make such a state to apply correctly international humanitarian law, the UN must be reformed. But all these reform proposals do not take into account the efficiency of the measures in Chapter VII of the Charter and the strengthening of international authority.
The Influence of the Barrel on the Duration of Infantry Armament. Factors Influencing the Service Life of Infantry Gun Barrels
Authors: Popescu Stelian
Published: January 2023

In general, the service life of a system is determined by its technical characteristics, the nature and magnitude of the stresses to which parts are subjected and the operating, operation and maintenance conditions. For this reason, the article aims to outline the key issues that highlight the factors influencing the service life of infantry weapons and how they do so. The essential elements are pointed out and the influence of each factor in increasing service life is presented, first by component sub-assemblies and then for the armament as a whole.

The aim of the project is to analyze the dynamics of gender perspectives in some military institutions in Europe, namely the Military Academy, Lisbon, Portugal, the University of Turin, Italy, “Vasil Levski” National Military University, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria and “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy of Sibiu. The project started with the application of a questionnaire to military students and this paper will present part of the results obtained only in “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy of Sibiu, after analyzing the discrimination dimension.
Assessing the Potential of Social Innovation and Local Agenda-Setting within Rural Development Programmes: Insights from Austrian Leader Regions
Authors: Stoustrup Sune Wiingaard
Published: January 2023

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the LEADER programme has been implemented to promote positive development in rural areas in the EU through bottom-up approaches and community engagement. Lately, concerns have been raised about the capability of LEADER to foster social innovation and provide adequate room to manoeuvre for communities to set agendas locally. This paper attempts to engage in this discussion by analysing the implementation of rural development programmes, local ideas and experiences with LEADER and social innovation in four LEADER regions in Upper Austria (AT). Furthermore, the analysis outlines the projects implemented through LEADER to evaluate the possibilities for local agenda-setting. The research shows both the success of LEADER as a tool to instigate bottom-up and neoendogenous development and the need for additional institutional frameworks for community consultations if inclusive and forward-looking visions of rural development are to be fostered.
Land Policy for Rural Development in the European Union and its Impact on Access to Land
Authors: Korthals Altes Willem K.
Published: January 2023

The concentration of farmland has potentially a negative impact on planning for local rural development as it impedes access to land for other rural initiatives. Land policies in the European Union aiming to reserve lands for local communities are constrained by principles of the EU single market, such as the free movement of capital and the freedom of establishment. Especially in several Central and Eastern European member states, the European Commission has critically reviewed policies to shield lands from the single market. This paper reviews and analysis this issue in relation to the planning for rural communities.

Published: January 2023

Working with video display terminals (VDTs) involves different risk factors, including psychosocial risks, that have been recognized as important causes to employees’ health problems (both mental and physical). This is why one of the employers responsibilities is to change work conditions in order to improve the occupational psychosocial environment of all employees and VDT users as well. This paper aimed to explore how psychosocial and ergonomics aspects of VDT work tasks are related to work related health problems, especially to occupational stress symptoms, as perceived by the employees.
An Implementation of a Sensor Blockchain Network
Authors: Roşca Daniel
Published: January 2023

Considering the exponential growth of Industry 4.0, more and more devices and sensors are encapsulated in standard networks. Devices and sensors are supplying data for the decisions to be made, but this can also represent breaches in the system and can be used to conduct malfunctions over the entire system. This work presents an implementation of a decentralized system overlaid to a classic HTTP network. This methodology allows accepting data only from sensors inside the network. In this implementation, we will read with simulated sensors (using Python) the load on a CPU and send the data to the blockchain network. We will assign to every sensor a blockchain account used in sending and then identifying the data source. Using the advantages of the blockchain is securing the network, the final implementation being less susceptible to attacks such as man in the middle. This research highlights the differences (and their costs) between a bare HTTP network and the presented implementation in a matter of security and costs.
Cognitive Artifacts and Their Virtues in Scientific Practice
Authors: Miłkowski Marcin
Published: January 2023

One of the critical issues in the philosophy of science is to understand scientific knowledge. This paper proposes a novel approach to the study of reflection on science, called “cognitive metascience”. In particular, it offers a new understanding of scientific knowledge as constituted by various kinds of scientific representations, framed as cognitive artifacts. It introduces a novel functional taxonomy of cognitive artifacts prevalent in scientific practice, covering a huge diversity of their formats, vehicles, and functions. As a consequence, toolboxes, conceptual frameworks, theories, models, and individual hypotheses can be understood as artifacts supporting our cognitive performance. It is also shown that by empirically studying how artifacts function, we may discover hitherto undiscussed virtues and vices of these scientific representations. This paper relies on the use of language technology to analyze scientific discourse empirically, which allows us to uncover the metascientific views of researchers. This, in turn, can become part of normative considerations concerning virtues and vices of cognitive artifacts.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Finances of Spain and Poland in the Period 2020–2021: Historic and Economic Perspective
Authors: Grata Paweł , Jaroszyk Joanna
Published: January 2023

The conclusion emerging from the analysis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public finances in Spain and in Poland in the years 2020–2021 shows that the effects should be considered in the short-term and long-term perspectives. The short-term perspective is featured by deterioration of the budget condition and the public debt ratio of both countries in the first year of the pandemic, and an improvement of the situation in 2021. The effects of the pandemic for public finances were far more severe in Spain, which – viewed objectively – resulted from the fact that financing of the support programmes was to a larger extent based on funds from the state budget. In Poland the impact of these expenditures on the budget was relatively insignificant since the majority of the outlays were taken outside of the state budget, and even out of the sphere of public finances. As a consequence, the budget deficit remained at a moderate level and the debt of the public sector in relation to GDP was half that of Spain. Despite the fact that the condition of public finances was markedly worse there after two years of combating COVID-19, it was decisively more transparent. Admittedly, the model introduced in Poland ensured peace in the system of public finances on the formal side, but it meant future costs that were unavoidable and difficult to assess.
