Published: December 2021

Cilj. Cilj je rada prikazati rezultate istraživanja provedenog 2021. godine o čitanju i čitateljskim navikama građana Republike Hrvatske tijekom pandemije bolesti COVID-19 te istražiti je li tijekom tog vremena došlo do promjena u navikama i vremenu provedenom u čitanju u odnosu na vrijeme prije pojave koronavirusne bolesti.

Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Podaci su prikupljeni online anketom namijenjenoj osobama starijima od 15 godina, koja se provodila od 15. veljače do 1. ožujka 2021. Anketni upitnik sastojao se od 29 pitanja višestrukog izbora i otvorenog tipa. Sadržavao

je pitanja koja se poglavito odnose na čitateljske navike i interese ispitanika, preferirane formate putem kojih čitaju literaturu te utjecaj pandemije na interes ispitanika za knjigom i čitanjem. U anketi je prikupljeno 2147 odgovora s područja cijele Republike Hrvatske.

Rezultati. 90,9 % ispitanika u uzorku radije bira tiskane, a tek 8,8 % elektroničke knjige, dok je samo 16,3 % ispitanika izjavilo da je njihov interes za elektroničkom knjigom tijekom pandemije porastao u odnosu na 2019. godinu. Zamijećena je razlika u navikama čitanja između spolova: muškarci značajno češće biraju elektroničke knjige nego žene, dok žene svakodnevno značajno više vremena provode čitajući nego što to čine muškarci. Rezultati su također pokazali da većina ispitanika procjenjuje da su prije i tijekom pandemije čitali približno jednako, s tim da dio ispitanika smatra da je tijekom pandemije čitao više nego prije. Oni ispitanici koji prije pandemije nisu čitali knjige, u pravilu ih nisu počeli čitati ni tijekom pandemije. Čitateljske navike ispitanika (medij, žanr i sl.) odgovaraju rezultatima istraživanja provedenih prije pandemije.

Ograničenja. Budući da je istraživanje provedeno online, iz uzorka je isključen dio građana Republike Hrvatske koji ne koristi informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije (IKT), a pretpostavlja se da su to prvenstveno građani treće životne dobi. Pritom treba istaknuti da su u uzorku više nego u općoj populaciji zastupljeni visokoobrazovani građani, članovi knjižnica i stanovnici Osječko-baranjske županije.

Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad donosi podatke o čitanju i čitateljskim navikama građana Republike Hrvatske za vrijeme pandemije bolesti COVID-19 2020. godine, a pouzdanosti rezultata pridonosi veliki broj ispitanika koji su sudjelovali u istraživanju.

Subject of research: procedures of asymmetric authentication of Internet of Things nodes to ensure the highest level of security using cryptographic chips. The aim of the article is to study the ways of potential use of cryptographic chips to ensure secure authentication of Internet of Things sites using asymmetric cryptography procedures. The article solves the following tasks: analysis of hardware support technologies for asymmetric cryptography of the Internet of Things; definition of secure procedures for asymmetric authentication of Internet of Things sites and their constituent elements: creation of certificates, verification of public and private keys. Research methods: method of structural and functional analysis and design of complex systems, methods of identification and authentication of information objects, cryptographic methods of information protection, methods of security analysis of distributed information systems. The novelty of the study is the analysis of hardware support technologies for asymmetric cryptography of Internet of Things with cryptographic chips and the definition of structural and functional schemes for the implementation of procedures for asymmetric authentication of Internet of Things. Distinctive features of the provided asymmetric authentication schemes and procedures are: ensuring an increased level of information security through secure storage of cryptographic keys, digital signatures, certificates, confidential data in a novelty security environment protected from external attacks and no need to store private keys on the host side. The results of the work are procedures and schemes of application of cryptomicrops of asymmetric authentication to ensure the protection of Internet of Things. Analysis of the functioning of the presented schemes allowed to draw the following conclusions. The proposed structural and functional schemes for the implementation of procedures for asymmetric authentication of Internet of Things using cryptographic chips give the user an easy opportunity to implement cryptography without expertise in this field. These chips use the ECDSA digital signature computing and verification hardware with elliptical curve advantages, as a proven and reliable authentication algorithm, and the ECDH symmetric encryption session key generation unit. The provided schemes and procedures support three components of information security, namely: confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of data. Examples of potential applications of the provided schemes and procedures can be implemented using any asymmetric authentication chip, but it is recommended that they be used to generate encryption session keys and where digital signatures are required to verify data and code for integrity and authenticity.

After the 2nd World War, for the first time after 7 decades, sports in general, and amateur football in particular, are facing a new global challenge generated by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Pre-pandemic football season 2019/2020 held on the field only for the first part (690 teams; 781 games), was suspended at the beginning of March, 2020. This situation generated an uncertain 5-month break until the first official games in play-offs (1-9 August, 2020) in wich only 46 teams (6.6%) in total actually participated. In a state of global uncertainty, to the suggestion of RFF, the 42 county football associations were “invited” to identify new solutions in order to “finalize the season”, by declaring, or not, a champion team, another team for the national phase of Romania’s Cup and a county representative for the 3rd league play-off. With the help of statistical information provided by county structures, with the spatial analysis of statistical data reported and analyzed on local and regional level, were analyzed the created situations and, especially, the consequences generated by the pandemic situation upon amateur football in Romania illustrated by maps.
PROMOTING SLOW TOURISM TO WRESTLE THE CHALLENGES OF SHORTER LENGTH OF TOURIST STAY: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Authors:   Bahir Dar University, College of Business and Economics, Department of Tourism and Hotel Management, Ethiopia, KEBETE Yihalem
Published: December 2021

Slow tourism is an eminent concept that aims to embolden extended tourist stay within a destination. The current study adopts qualitative research approach and extracts data from purposefully selected tourism professionals. The researcher employed both interview and focus group discussion to collect data required for this study. Findings of the current study unfold that slow tourism as a unique approach augments the overall tourism activities, mainly within emerging destinations. Even though slow tourism has received limited attention in Bahir Dar and its surroundings, it is quite substantive to discourage the negative economic, sociocultural and environmental impacts of tourism. However, absence of developed tourism infrastructures and limited understanding of stakeholders restrain the practice and development of slow tourism in the study area. In terms of policy references, the present study suggests that there is a need to develop a practical guideline to inculcate the fundamental concepts related to the practical applications of slow tourism in emerging destinations.

Fifty-five (55) public school principals and one thousand five hundred seven (1507) teachers were the respondents of the study. The researcher utilized the descriptive-correlational examination plan, which utilized the adopted and modified questionnaires to assess and measure the variables under study. The statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered were: Frequency and Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. Findings revealed that the management practices, organizational behavior, and performance of teachers were relevant to the distance learning environment. The findings were used to determine the strategic plan model to be proposed by the DepEd and school officials. Since the school heads' management practices are assessed to a high extent, it may be sustained by introducing innovations in their respective stations, which will focus on how the instructional programs may be carried out to achieve the vision, mission, and goals of the DepEd.  This may be done by involving the teachers in the instructional decisions to be made as well as in crafting the different plans to be implemented in the school context. The teachers may be exposed to seminars and capability building to further enhance their teaching pedagogy as well as their skills in the different aspects of the instructional program in the context of the new normal in the educational system.

Ceding Power in Intra-Household Bargaining in Times of Economic Anxiety: An Experimental Study in Nepal
Authors: Boittin Margaret , Kosec Katrina , Mo Cecilia Hyunjung , You Soo Sun
Published: December 2021

How do perceptions of one's relative economic status affect beliefs regarding gender roles? We conducted a 2019 survey experiment with approximately 2,000 adults in Nepal. Employing an established survey treatment called a priming experiment to subtly alter half of respondents' perceptions of their relative economic well-being, we ?find that increased feelings of relative deprivation make married women significantly less likely to support gender egalitarian perspectives. Women decrease their support for women making decisions over household expenditures, having equal control over household income, sharing household chores, and women working outside the home. A message randomly read to some women and designed to spur increased support for women's empowerment does little to alter beliefs regarding gender roles or to attenuate the effects of the relative deprivation prime. Despite the negative impacts on women's gender attitudes, however, we do not find a similar pattern among married men. The results underscore the deleterious effects that feelings of relative deprivation can have on women's own gender attitudes and provide a cautionary tale given trends toward greater economic inequality further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
WaterBench: A Large-scale Benchmark Dataset for Data-Driven Streamflow Forecasting
Authors: Demir Ibrahim , Xiang Zhongrun , Demiray Bekir Zahit , Sit Muhammed
Published: December 2021

This study proposes a comprehensive benchmark dataset for streamflow forecasting, WaterBench, that follows FAIR data principles that is prepared with a focus on convenience for utilizing in data-driven and machine learning studies, and provides benchmark performance for state-of-art deep learning architectures on the dataset for comparative analysis. By aggregating the datasets of streamflow, precipitation, watershed area, slope, soil types, and evapotranspiration from federal agencies and state organizations (i.e., NASA, NOAA, USGS, and Iowa Flood Center), we provided the WaterBench for hourly streamflow forecast studies. This dataset has a high temporal and spatial resolution with rich metadata and relational information, which can be used for varieties of deep learning and machine learning research. We defined a sample streamflow forecasting task for the next 120 hours and provided performance benchmarks on this task with sample linear regression and deep learning models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), and S2S (Sequence-to-sequence). To some extent, WaterBench makes up for the lack of a unified benchmark in earth science research. We highly encourage researchers to use the WaterBench for deep learning research in hydrology.
The pursuit of happiness: A reinforcement learning perspective on habituation and comparisons
Authors: Dubey Rachit , Griffiths Tom , Dayan Peter
Published: December 2021

In evaluating our choices, we often suffer from two tragic relativities. First, when our lives change for the better, we rapidly habituate to the higher standard of living. Second, we cannot escape comparingourselves to various relative standards. Habituation and comparisons can be very disruptive to decision-making and happiness, and till date, it remains a puzzle why they have come to be a part of cognition in the first place. Here, we present computational evidence that suggests that these features might play an important role in promoting adaptive behavior. Using the framework of reinforcement learning, we explore the benefit of employing a reward function that, in addition to the reward provided by the underlying task, also depends on prior expectations and relative comparisons. We find that while agents equipped with this reward function are less happy, they learn faster and significantly outperform standard reward-based agents in a wide range of environments. Specifically, we find that relative comparisons speed up learning by providing an exploration incentive to the agents, and prior expectations serve as a useful aid to comparisons, especially in sparsely-rewarded and non-stationary environments. Our simulations also reveal potential drawbacks of this reward function and show that agents perform suboptimally when comparisons are left unchecked and when there are too many similar options. Together, our results help explain why we are prone to becoming trapped in a cycle of never-ending wants and desires, and may shed light on psychopathologies such as depression, materialism, and overconsumption.
The Dual Mechanisms of Cognitive Control (DMCC) project: Validation of an on-line behavioral task battery
Authors: Tang Rongxiang , Bugg Julie , Snijder Jean-Paul , Conway Andrew R. A. , Braver Todd Samuel
Published: December 2021

Cognitive control serves a crucial role in human higher mental functions. The Dual Mechanisms of Control (DMC) account provides a unifying theoretical framework that decomposes cognitive control into two qualitatively distinct mechanisms – proactive control and reactive control. While prior behavioral and neuroimaging work has demonstrated the validity of individual tasks in isolating these two mechanisms of control, there has not been a comprehensive, theoretically-guided task battery specifically designed to tap into proactive and reactive control across different domains of cognition. To address this critical limitation and provide useful methodological tools for future investigations, the Dual Mechanisms of Cognitive Control (DMCC) task battery was developed to probe these two control modes, as well as their intra-individual and inter-individual differences, across four prototypical domains of cognition: selective attention, context processing, multi-tasking, and working memory. We present this task battery, along with detailed descriptions of the experimental manipulations used to encourage shifts to proactive or reactive control in each of the four task domains. We rigorously evaluate the group effects of these manipulations in primary indices of proactive and reactive control, establishing the validity of the DMCC task battery in providing dissociable yet convergent measures of the two cognitive control modes.

Health care policies often rely on public cooperation, especially during a health crisis. However, a crisis is also a period of uncertainty and proliferation of health related advice: while some people adhere to the official recommendations, others tend to avoid them and resort to non-evidence based, pseudoscientific practices. People prone to the latter are often the ones endorsing a set of epistemically suspect beliefs, with two being particularly relevant: conspiratorial pandemic-related beliefs, and the appeal to nature bias (i.e. trusting natural immunity to fight the pandemic). These in turn are rooted in trust in different epistemic authorities, seen as mutually exclusive: trust in science and trust in the “wisdom of the common man”. Drawing from two nationally representative probability samples, we tested a model in which trust in science/wisdom of the common man predicted COVID-19 vaccination status (Study 1, N = 1001) or vaccination status alongside use of pseudoscientific health practices (Study 2, N = 1010), through COVID-19 conspiratorial beliefs and the appeal to nature bias. As expected, epistemically suspect beliefs were interrelated, related to vaccination status, and to both types of trust. Moreover, trust in science had both a direct and indirect effect on vaccination status through both types of epistemically suspect beliefs. Trust in the wisdom of the common man had only an indirect effect on vaccination status. Contrary to the way they are typically portrayed, the two types of trust were unrelated. These results were largely replicated in the second study, in which we added pseudoscientific practices as an outcome; trust in science and the wisdom of the common man contributed to their prediction only indirectly, through epistemically suspect beliefs. We offer recommendations on how to make use of different types of epistemic authorities and how to tackle unfounded beliefs in communication during a health crisis.
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: A future hope for cancer treatment
Authors: Yadav Ajay Kumar , Gnawali Suman , Mandal Sandip , Shrestha Gyan Bahadur , Yuan Gangbiao
Published: December 2021

Background: mRNA vaccines have a strong potential for a possible cancer therapy platform. They express tumor antigens in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) after immunization, facilitating innate/adaptive immune stimulation. Because of its high effectiveness, safe administration, rapid development potential, and cost-efficient manufacturing, the mRNA cancer vaccine surpasses other traditional vaccination platforms.

Conclusion: Careful evaluation of promising mRNA vaccines to supervise as carriers of lipids for cancer patients needs to be done. In addition, a possible revaluation for optimal protection is required. However, the extent to which solid tumours might take a significant part of the vaccine doses is still unknown.
Study of dynamic changes in the parameters of liver function tests in COVID-19 patients: A hospital-based study in Eastern Nepal
Authors: Mittal Ankush , Farooqui Mohammad Shamim
Published: December 2021

Background: COVID-19 has become a focus of healthcare practitioners worldwide after it was declared as a global pandemic. Although SARS-CoV-2 is primarily affecting the respiratory system, numerous studies have documented its impact on other organ systems, including the liver. This study aims to assess liver function in COVID-19 patients in light of SARS-CoV-2's extremely infectious and pathogenic character.

Material and methods: It was a hospital-based retrospective study conducted between January 1, 2021, and July 31, 2021, using data from the Department of Biochemistry at Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital in Nepal. Age, gender, total protein, albumin, AST, ALT, and the AST/ALT ratio were all measured.

Results: The median age of COVID-19 patients was 36 years (CI, 25–51), 60 patients (60.0%) were male, 31 patients (31.0%) were obese, and 20 patients (20%) had comorbidities, such as hypertension (14%) and diabetes mellitus (6.0 %). Compared to the non-critical group, the mean values of ALT, AST, ALP, GT, LDH, TBIL, and DBIL were significantly higher in the severe group. On the other hand, total protein and albumin were significantly lower in the severe group than the non-severe group.

Conclusion: In COVID-19, aberrant liver function, primarily AST increase, appears to be common. Therefore, direct viral hepatotoxicity during a systemic viral infection must be considered, as well as the possibility of sepsis or worsening of existing liver disease.

Dentigerous cysts are the benign odontogenic cysts that surround the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth and they account for approximately 20-24% of the jaw cysts. Dentigerous cysts involving impacted second premolars are rare. Here we report a case of surgical enucleation of an inflammatory type of dentigerous cyst associated with the impacted mandibular second premolar in a 12-year-old child. Nine-months follow up showed satisfactory healing of the defect with remarkable bone formation.

The buccal fat pad is an encapsulated mass located within the buccal facial spaces. It is relatively large in neonate and infants. A tiny perforation on buccal mucosa, fascia or buccinator muscle can lead to the herniation of buccal fat pad in young children. Trauma is the most common etiology. Such situation demands careful examination of oral cavity and thorough history taking to avoid any misdiagnosis. This paper reports a clinical presentation and management of herniation of buccal fat pad on a 22-month-old-girl following trauma to her left cheek region with sugarcane.
COVID-19: General and Oral Manifestations in Children, Impact on Pediatric Dentistry and Future Perspective
Authors: Sah Barun Kumar , Sundas Sunanda , Dhakal Neha
Published: December 2021

(COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the globe, becoming a major public health concern for countries around the world. Despite worldwide efforts to contain viral spread, the outbreak has not shown any promising signs of containment yet. The coronavirus disease 2019 is a respiratory infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact. As COVID-19 cases have been reported among children as well, there is an increased risk of acquiring the disease through these Silent Carriers who present as asymptomatic with mild or moderate clinical viral infection. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) is constantly revising their checklist for re-emergence in pediatric dental practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatric dentists should keep a high level of awareness to help patients, minimize risk and prevent viral spread. During this period of pandemic, management of child’s oral health presents specific difficulties related to the infectious spread of the disease. The aim of this article is to review the Covid-19 infection in children, its impact on pediatric oral health, challenges for pediatric dentistry and future perspective.

Similarity, does it necessary mean plagiarism? Stop intentional and exaggerated paraphrasing
Authors: Shohda Eslam Elsayed Ali
Published: December 2021

During the last two decades, programs have been relied on to detect scientific plagiarism, as it is found that some authors use previous published results or scientific ideas without attributing them to their original authors. But the term similarity has been confused with scientific plagiarism. This led to the need for procedures that are not justified by intuition of mind, and led to the difficulty of conducting important research, unnecessary time wasting and difficulties.
Joyce Carol Oates’s Carthage as a Modern Troilus and Cressida Story
Authors: Ruszkiewicz Dominika
Published: December 2021

Both Geoffrey Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde and Joyce Carol Oates’s Carthage are set in times of war, the Trojan War and the Iraq War, respectively, and both are associated with love on the one hand, and loss on the other. In fact, Carthage contains many echoes of the past, with the main characters of the novel, Juliet and Cressida Mayfield, bringing connotations with Chaucer’s and Shakespeare’s works, their father compared to an old Roman general, and Corporal Brett Kincaid likened to the hero of chivalric romances. The aim of this article is to argue that Oates’s Carthage may be seen as a modern Troilus and Cressida story in that it presents aspects of medieval reality in a modern guise, with the most poignant and recurrent association being that between the “war on terror” and medieval crusades and the emotion dominating the characters’ reactions being rage, an emotion which occurs in relation to the fires of passion and war in Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde, Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, and Joyce Carol Oates’s Carthage.
Bukoliczne bestiarium Szymona Szymonowica. Między naturą a kulturą
Authors: Krawiec-Złotkowska Krystyna
Published: December 2021

W artykule są przedstawione i omówione zjawiska związane z fauną występujące w bukolicznej poezji Szymona Szymonowica. Przedmiotem analizy są utwory wydane w zbiorze Sielanki i pozostałe wiersze polskie. Bestiarium z wierszy renesansowego autora, twórcy polskiej sielanki, jest analizowane w kontekście tradycji biblijnej i mitycznej. Zwrócono też uwagę na staropolskie i europejskie dziedzictwo kulturowe, ujęcia konwencjonalne i zrywające z konwencją oraz filiacje z polsko-ruską etnografią. Zbadano naturalny i kulturowy wymiar relacji zwierząt i człowieka. Egzemplifikacja zwierząt występujących w sielankach Szymonowica umożliwiła również określić funkcje, jaką pełnią one w świecie przedstawionym utworów.
Gołąb Patricka Süskinda – próba interpretacji
Authors: Głuszko-Boczoń Estera
Published: December 2021

Przedmiotem analizy niniejszego artykułu  jest nowela Gołąb Patricka Süskinda. Bohaterem utworu jest podstarzały portier w banku, Jonathan Noel. Mężczyzna całe swoje życie podporządkował rygorowi pracy, dyscyplinie i rutynie, natomiast relacje społeczne ograniczył do minimum. Jednakże pewnego dnia jego przewidywalną egzystencję burzy pojawienie się gołębia na progu pokoju. Powoduje to serię fatalnych w skutkach zdarzeń. Reakcja protagonisty na gołębia zaskakuje i otwiera pole do psychologicznych rozważań nad naturą Jonathana.  Ptak dezorganizuje jego życie zmuszając go tym samym do podjęcia nowych, ryzykownych działań, które odbiegają od jego przyzwyczajeń. W artykule podejmuję próbę przeanalizowania przyczyn fobii bohatera, jego wewnętrznego rozdarcia, które prowadzą również do całkowitej alienacji i wyobcowania. Istotnym aspektem moich rozważań jest zjawisko samotności, jak również próba odczytania metafory gołębia oraz jego funkcji w noweli.
„Opisywać trzeba tak, jakby się widziało pierwszy raz w życiu”. Językowe środki opisu zwierząt oraz relacji człowiek–zwierzę według Michała Książka
Authors: Miller Dorota
Published: December 2021

Głównym celem artykułu jest scharakteryzowanie językowych środków opisu zwierząt oraz relacji człowiek-zwierzę. Analiza opiera się na dwóch publikacjach świadczących o rosnącym zainteresowaniu literatury kwestiami ekologicznymi: Droga 816 (2015) oraz Północny wschód (2017) Michała Książka. Obie książki reprezentują tzw. nature writing: tradycję literacką o ugruntowanej pozycji w literaturze angloamerykańskiej, mało znaną w polskim krajobrazie literackim.
