Innovative PR Techniques for Non-conventional Energy Sector
Authors: Krasteva Maria
Published: February 2025

The non-conventional energy sector is of great importance for the future development of the economy, ecology, and society. To fulfill the ambitious global plans for decarbonization and a predominant share of energy from renewable energy sources (RES), the necessary level of public support and awareness should be ensured first. The PR specialists have to constantly adapt their approach to reflect dynamically changing technologies and the needs of different audiences. The article aims to examine the usage of increasingly creative and technology-based PR practices in the non-conventional energy sector, in particular Gamification, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and Integrated Arts in PR. In addition to analytical processing of existing theoretical and empirical information, the “case study” method was used to visualize and obtain a comprehensive understanding of the research object.
Encouraging Reading in a Digital Environment. National Campaigns and Influencing Factors
Authors: Dimitrova Monica
Published: February 2025

Reading is a complex cognitive process, a principal cultural technique of the modern age, and the foundation of all literacies. Digitization has irrevocably changed the written word and the ways we read and communicate. Recognizing the vital importance of reading competencies in the development of individuals and societies, efforts to promote reading in the digital environment are a central topic. We have conducted a mapping of European reading promotion campaigns on a national scale that use digital approaches and target children and young adults. Initiators are organizations that are engaged in the mission of book and reading promotion and are members of notable international European associations, networks, and consortiums. The research outlines literate mobile apps, virtual communities in social networks, involvement of celebrities and opinion makers, gamification of reading, book apps, and digital literature as trends in reading promotion campaigns in the digital environment. In addition to these approaches, campaigns rely also on role models as a crucial influence factor on the reading attitudes of young people. The research shows that role models change over the life course – in the early years these are the parents, in the education domain – the teachers and peers, and in the increased screen time in the digital environment – the influencers. The mapping gives examples of good practices in reading promotion campaigns executed with digital approaches in each context.
Role of Social Networks during the Protests in Iran in 2022
Authors: Dzhambazova Tsvetelina
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the protests in the Islamic Republic of Iran that emerged after the death of the Kurdi Mahsa Amini while in custody after being detained by the morality police for alleged improper veiling. The text focuses specifically on the usage and role of social networks in the organization and coordination of protest activities. Even though the Iranian authorities relied heavily on Internet blockages, it turns out these blackouts became less effective as Iranians found different communication channels and end-to-end encryption services. The protests managed to encompass people from various groups and classes and are seen by researchers as the biggest challenge to the Iranian government since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The present article also includes a brief history of women’s rights in Iran and an analysis of the mandatory dress code regulations in the country.

Published: February 2025

This study was conducted to investigate the role of resilience in stress reduction among police officers. Resilience, defined as the ability to bounce back from adversity, is increasingly being recognized as a key factor in managing stress and enhancing mental well-being. The research examined how resilience influences the stress coping mechanisms of police officers, with particular focus on their emotional regulation, decision-making, and overall performance in high-pressure situations. This quantitative research was conducted through correlational research design. Data was collected by administering a survey with help of questionnaires. Convenient sampling technique was employed to select the sample of the study 100 police officers (Male=69, Female=31). Results indicate that higher levels of resilience correlate with higher levels of stress reduction, improved emotional control, and more effective problem-solving skills in stressful situations. Moreover, male police officers reported grater level of resilience and stress reduction level as compared to female. The findings underscore the importance of fostering resilience through training and support programs to improve the mental health of police officers and reduce stress-related issues in law enforcement in Pakistan. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for institutional policies that prioritize resilience-building strategies in police departments to enhance officers’ psychological well-being and job satisfaction.

Authors: Farkhodjon Khusenovich Mamatkulov
Published: February 2025

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the osseointegration potential of stainless steel implants manufactured using additive technologies for tibial prosthetics in rabbits, focusing on mechanical stability and bone-implant integration. Method: The experimental study was conducted on six chinchilla rabbits aged 6–8 months. Under general anesthesia, each rabbit underwent leg amputation followed by the implantation of a screw-type stainless steel implant produced through additive manufacturing. The implants were stabilized using the Ilizarov apparatus for six weeks. Clinical assessments, radiological imaging, and histological analyses were performed to evaluate the extent of osseointegration. Results: The findings demonstrate that the screw-type implant structure successfully osseointegrated into the tubular bone, with significant new bone tissue formation observed on the implant surface after 12 weeks. This bone-implant integration formed a stable bone-implant block capable of withstanding mechanical stress, confirming the implant's mechanical stability within the bone. Novelty: This study highlights the promising potential of additive manufacturing technologies in producing biocompatible implants with enhanced osseointegration capabilities, paving the way for more effective and durable orthopedic prosthetics.

New co-operativism as social innovation: Progress or regress?
Authors: Ridley-Duff Rory
Published: February 2025

This paper re-conceptualises a framework by Vieta (2010) describing ‘new co-operativism’ using social innovation theory. Practice-oriented scholars in the P2P Foundation, Commons Transition Movement and FairShares Association have each formulated a challenge to ‘old co-operativism’ by proposing a ‘new’ and more ‘open’ co-operativism. Conaty and Bollier (2015) distinguish ‘old’ and ‘new’ approaches based on the division of benefits between co-operative members and wider society. They argue for a common good orientation in which new co-operativism deploys multi-stakeholder governance, co‑production and socio-political co‑ordination to prioritise local production. This intersects with commons-based peer production and the digital economy in the Commons Transition Movement, and the FairShares Model that advances multi‑stakeholder ownership, governance and management. By deconstructing texts available through wikis, websites and publications, the social innovations of new co-operativism are assessed. Progressive elements offer ‘development towards a new or advanced condition’ whilst regressive elements advocate ‘returning to a former or less developed state’ (Oxford Languages, 2021). After repeated reading, 30 texts were coded using NVivo. The macro‑themes of commoning and multi-stakeholder orientation were added and other aspects (e.g., worker and citizen action) were separated. The revised theory distinguishes three forms of social innovation operationalised through 10 practices.

Conservation Biology: Conceptual Foundations and Contemporary Challenges
Authors:   Data Scientist, Montgomery Richard Murdoch
Published: February 2025

Conservation Biology has emerged as a critical discipline in response to the rapid loss of biodiversity driven by anthropogenic pressures. This article presents an integrated review of the conceptual foundations, key challenges, and methodological approaches within Conservation Biology. We discuss the importance of biodiversity at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels; analyse the multifaceted human impacts such as habitat destruction, climate change, invasive species, pollution, and overexploitation; and review strategies that include in situ protection, ex situ conservation, restoration ecology, and community-based approaches. Mathematical models – including the logistic growth model, species–area relationship, and metapopulation dynamics – are elucidated to demonstrate how quantitative tools can underpin management decisions. Results from these models are illustrated with professional academic graphs generated via Python. In the discussion, we critically assess the advantages and limitations of current methodologies and outline prospects for future research and policy integration. Overall, the article highlights that preserving biodiversity is not only an ethical imperative but also essential for maintaining the ecosystem services that underpin human civilisation.
La Persona humana: el aporte de Juan Duns Escoto
Authors: Elías Gloria Silvana
Published: February 2025

El trabajo tiene como propósito analizar la noción de persona en el Medioevo en general y en Duns Escoto en particular, para poder comprender cuál es la novedad que añade esta categoría a la noción aristotélica de sustancia, y si ello aporta algo efectivamente diferente al pensamiento filosófico y al filosofar. En este sentido, podemos afirmar que, en su intento de superar la visión naturalista boeciana, el filósofo que revoluciona el concepto de persona fue Ricardo de San Víctor, y es Duns Escoto en el siglo XIII quien va sistematizar la reflexión al respecto.
NFC Award and Social Sector Public Delivery
Authors: Mahmood Afzal , Zahra Kanwal , Imran Khan Muhammad
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of National Finance Commission (NFC) funds on social sector spending in Pakistan's provinces, focusing on education, health, water, sanitation, and infrastructure. By analyzing NFC allocations from 2001 to 2021, the research examines how funds are utilized in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), and Balochistan. Significant disparities persist in social sector outcomes across provinces despite increased allocations, largely due to governance challenges and inefficiencies. Using econometric models, the study demonstrates that Punjab allocates more NFC funds to education and healthcare than other provinces, particularly Sindh, which shows lower utilization despite receiving substantial funds. This highlights inefficiencies in governance and resource allocation. The study emphasizes the need for performance-based mechanisms in future NFC awards to ensure equitable and effective use of funds, particularly in underperforming provinces like Sindh. It also suggests strengthening provincial governance through targeted reforms and federal oversight. Overall, the findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on fiscal decentralization in Pakistan, offering policy recommendations for improving resource utilization and social development across the provinces.

Un gazetar al Blajului de odinioară: Iuliu Maior şi „Unirea poporului” (1919-1945)
Authors:   George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences, and Technology of Târgu Mureş, Teodor Corina
Published: February 2025

Professor Iuliu Maior, born in Reghin in 1886 into a family with a long-standing Greek-Catholic tradition, spent most of his life in Blaj as a teacher and journalist. This study focuses only a segment of his journalistic activity, specifically that related to “Unirea poporului”, the publication he founded in 1919 alongside his friend Alexandru Lupeanu-Melin. Maior maintained a close connection with the publication throughout his life, initially as an editor and later as director, until his death. The issues of this publication feature numerous articles bearing his signature, covering topics such as news from the life of the Catholic Church, portraits of ecclesiastical figures, sermons, moral and religious teachings, reviews, and more. My analysis focused on the main themes addressed by the author, the role of this publication in educating its readers, the challenges Maior faced as a journalist, and his position within the broader context of the journalism of his time.
The Genesis of the Writing of the Third Part of the Secret of Fátima. Doubts, Anguish, and Sufferings of Sister Lúcia Maria das Dores During the Second Half of 1943 in Tuy. A Historical Controversy
Authors:   Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Castro Álvaro Albornoz
Published: February 2025

This research explores the historical conditions that facilitated the redaction of the so-called third part of the Secret of Fátima, focusing on the circumstances and experiences of the main protagonist, Sister Lúcia. The drafting and concatenation of the events surrounding the famous document is due to an amalgam of historical, spiritual, and ecclesiastical factors that created a favorable context for the expression and formalization of Sister Lúcia's messages. This paper also reveals a contradiction between the testimonies in the diary of the Carmelite convent of Coimbra and the research of Sebastião Martins dos Reis and António Maria Martins, suggesting inconsistencies in the account of events, which underlines the need for a critical and objective analysis of historical sources, highlighting the complexity of examining sources that relate to inner experiences within the discipline of religious studies in the Catholic framework.
Between Interwar and Postwar Reading and Memory Communities. A Look at the Bio-Bibliography of the Lutheran Pastor Alfred Csallner
Authors:   “Gheorghe Şincai” Institute of Socio-Human Research of the Romanian Academy, Zăloagă Marian
Published: February 2025

The present paper investigates the reception of the activity and the works of Adolf Csallner (1895-1992). He was one of the most exponential figures of the eugenic movement which gained audience in the interwar period among the Transylvanian Saxons and stimulated the self-Nazification of Lutheran pastors of various ranks. Csallner started as a man of the church and from that position tilted to more radical völkisch ideas, finally, becoming fascinated by the national - socialist racial ideas and choosing to infuse his works with such ideological idiosyncrasies. In the present paper, I recognize four communities of reading, each having their advocates and an anticipated readership. Hence, the authors of different printings sought to guide and influence its anticipated public to a specific understanding of the career of this Transylvanian Saxon clergyman. First and foremost, I am pursuing the feedback received from the side of the (pan-)/German and Transylvanian Saxon readership from the interwar period who read Csallner’s texts at first hand and could be animated by the same essentialist ideas. Secondly, I distinguish between a community of reading which was expected to positively respond to the efforts of rehabilitating Csallner’s work in order to defend an entire nazified generation. In relation to this, I reflect on how a diasporic Saxon readership was invited to recuperate Csallner as a martyrized man of the church, always in the service of his ethnic group with all the argumentative means available. A third community of reading is constituted by the readers who may have considered Csallner’s career and works, by circumstantial bibliographical referencing, hence, portraying him as a eugenicist among others, a veritable exponent for the phenomenon of right-wing radicalization experienced by the ethnic minorities’ elites from the post-imperial states. Finally, I identify a fourth community of reading which has been guided to regard Csallner as a racial driven clerical fascist. In short, this paper aims to demonstrate how the profile of an author entangled with the collective identity projects of an ethnic group during interwar and, especially, in post-war eras.

Authors:   George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences and, Technology of Târgu Mureş, Georgescu Maria-Ana
Published: February 2025

Our study allows us to have an image of the European realities on gender issues regarding women's active role in the community, through their participation in the decision-making process in public life and in international voluntary organizations. The data series we have selected and analyzed are the most recently published by official bodies. We found, as positive aspects, the fact that Romanian women occupy much more seats, than men, at the Supreme Court of Justice and are well represented in decision-making positions in the Public Administration. As negative aspects, the low participation of women in Romania in the bodies of political power; we even noticed an opposite trend in our country, compared to the European trend, namely the reduction of female representation in the political arena over the years. In contrast, within Rotary International volunteering, the percentage of women in District 2241, including Romania and Moldova, has gradually increased.

Published: February 2025

El condado de Niebla conforma un extenso territorio, equivalente a dieciséis términos municipales de la actual provincia de Huelva, que fue entregado en 1368 por Enrique II de Trastámara a don Juan Alonso de Guzmán, cuarto señor de Sanlúcar de Barrameda, como premio a su apoyo en el convulso contexto de la guerra civil castellana que acabó con el reinado y la vida de Pedro I. Algunas de las fortalezas que se levantaron aquí en los siglos medievales han desaparecido; otras conservan una mínima parte de su materialidad original. La huella bibliográfica de todas ellas es muy escasa. Solo el castillo de Niebla, y en fecha muy reciente, ha sido objeto de investigación histórica y arqueológica. Individualmente, son fortalezas muy esquivas, dada la escasez de referencias documentales disponibles. En bloque, se trataba de un conjunto inexistente, pues nunca hasta la fecha se había estudiado como tal.
Boncuklu Höyük te Deneysel Arkeoloji: Ateş ve Ocak Kullanımına Yönelik Bazı Gözlemler
Authors: Mustafaoğlu Gökhan
Published: February 2025

Ateşin ilk insanlar tarafından kontrol edilmesi, evrimlerini mümkün kılan önemli bir olgudur. Ateş, temel olarak ısı ve aydınlatma kaynağı, yırtıcılardan korunma, daha gelişmiş av araçları yaratmanın bir yolu ve beslenme için yeni bir yöntem sağlamıştır. Bu kültürel ilerlemeler, insanın coğrafi dağılımına, kültürel yeniliklere, diyet ve davranışında köklü değişikliklerin oluşmasına neden olmuştur. Paleolitik’ten itibaren sürdürülebilir bir enerji kaynağı olarak temel işlevlerinin yanı sıra sosyalleşme, zanaat, sanat, üretim ve sembolik dünyanın oluşturulması bağlamında da kullanılmıştır. Neolitik’in getirdiği birçok köklü değişim içinde ortaya çıkan ev ve benzeri yapıların içinde ve dışında ocakların günlük hayatın merkezinde yer alan kalıcı yapısal unsurlara dönüştüğü görülür. Bu dönüşüm Boncuklu Höyük’te kazısı yapılan evler ve evler arasında bulunan açık alanlarda farklı form ve boyutlardaki ocak alanlarının tespit edilmesiyle açık bir şekilde gözlemlenmiştir. Ancak arkeolojik açıdan ateşin ve dolayısıyla ocakların kullanımlarının anlaşılması çok kolay değildir. Bu nedenle arkeolojik veriler esas alınarak yapılan deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda ocakların kullanım biçimleri ve yapı içindeki etkilerinin anlaşılmasını olanaklı kılacak bazı yorumlara ulaşılmıştır. Deneysel evler içinde yapılan çalışmalarda farklı yakacak hammaddelerin ısı, ışık, kalori ve duman gibi unsurlar bağlamında değişkenlik gösterdiği ve insanların Neolitik ev içlerinde basit yapısal düzenlemeler yaparak dumanın etkisini azaltıcı önlemler almış olabilecekleri çıkarımı yapılmıştır.

Published: February 2025

The study evaluated the signal strength and proposed improvements in telecommunication infrastructure in rural communities of Binalbagan, Negros Occidental. Three communities were selected, namely Barangays Enclaro, Payao, and Bi-ao, where signal strength was determined, uplink and downlink budgets were calculated, cell radius was calculated, and the the base transceiver station was proposed. Based on the measurements of signal strength across three telecommunication networks, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), Globe Telecom, Inc. (Globe), and DITO Telecommunity Corporation (DITO), the following results were as follows. Based on the time of measurement that occurred in 2021, for Brgy. Enclaro, the average signal strengths were -107.85 ± 1.50 dBm (Smart), -92.1 ± 2.67 (Globe), and -101.55 ± 2.82 dBm (DITO). For Brgy. Payao, the average signal strengths were -83 ± 1.08 dBm (Smart), -84 ± 1.59 (Globe), and no signal for DITO. For Brgy. Bi-ao, the average signal strengths were -107.45 ± 3.33 dBm (Smart), -109 ± 2.77 dBm (Globe), and no signal for DITO. The uplink budget was calculated to be 197.68 dB, while the downlink budget was calculated to be 168.50 dB. The cell radius was calculated to be 13.27 km. Various coordinates were presented as possible locations for base transceiver stations. These findings present the need to address communication gaps, especially in terms of augmenting the signal strength to provide access to the rural communities.

The assessment of the curriculum and the program outcomes is vital in the progressive role of enhancing the educational process, ensuring that continuous improvement were to take place. This study evaluated the implementation of the 2018-2019 curriculum of various programs in the College of Education, namely the Bachelor of Elementary Education, the Bachelor of Physical Education, and the Bachelor of Secondary Education majors in English, Filipino, and Mathematics. Questionnaires were based on the CHED Memorandum orders that govern each program, which was then complemented by a qualitative analysis to be able to establish a multifaceted approach to the implementation assessment. The findings revealed that the programs were evaluated as “fully implemented” by the students, with a balance of curricular and co-curricular elements being raised as highlights. While challenges such as the pandemic have been mentioned, the flexible and adaptive education strategies were noted as best features in the curricular implementation. The reinforcement of quality education was emphasized through the evaluation of the program outcomes, and the institutional values have been adhered to through the continual improvement mechanism established in such measure.

Plastic pollution remains an environmental crisis both locally and globally, and the Philippines' insufficient waste management and significant dependence on single-use plastics generate 2.7 million tons of plastic waste annually. LDPE is commonly used in bottles, garbage bags, plastic gloves, and single-use containers that decompose for up to 1,000 years. Rice (Oryza sativa) stems are discarded as agricultural waste, containing cellulose and hemicellulose, which are essential to act as substrates for solid-state fermentation. Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) is a fungus capable of producing laccase that can break down chemical structures due to mono-electronic oxidation. This study tests the degrading ability of laccase produced using turkey tail in rice stems as a fermentation medium. Researchers buried LDPE strips (1 x 0.5) inches with initial weights of 0.63 grams and in quintuplicates per set-up, incubating them at 5, 10, and 15 days, respectively. Groups A, B, and C were laccase-treated in each incubation period, while Groups D, E, and F received no treatment. After incubation, LDPE strips were cleaned, weighed, and had a corresponding percentage weight loss of 12.30%, 18.26%, and 30.56% for experimental; 11.11%, 12.30%, and 14.68% were computed for negative control. One-way ANOVA, paired, and independent samples t-tests were performed, setting the alpha value to 0.05 to determine significant differences between set-ups. The ANOVA result showed that 15 days in the experimental set-up had the highest degradation compared to 5 and 10 days of groups, indicating significant differences with a p-value of 3.84E-06. T-tests revealed that Group C significantly differs from all groups, resulting in a p-value of 3.38E-05. Findings suggest that laccase produced by turkey tail cultured on rice stems degraded LDPE. All set-ups degraded LDPE, but the experimental groups demonstrated a higher degradation than the negative control groups. The degradation process is more efficient the longer it is incubated.

Published: February 2025

This study investigated the effectiveness of flipped classroom instruction compared to lecture-based instruction in enhancing Grade 9 students’ understanding of physics concepts. The limited research on the comparative effectiveness of flipped classroom instruction and lecture-based instruction in K-12 Philippine science education, along with the challenge of teacher-created video production, highlights a gap in understanding their practical implementation and impact. The researcher employed a quasi-experimental design, using a one-stage cluster sampling technique to assign 61 students to experimental and control groups randomly. Both groups demonstrated comparable prior knowledge based on their Third Quarter Science 9 performance, verified through a Mean Performance Score (MPS) analysis and a t-test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances. Data treatment involved using the Mean, t-test for dependent data, and t-test for independent data. The findings revealed that while both instructional methods significantly improved student performance, the flipped classroom approach yielded higher post-test results than lecture-based instruction. The study concluded that flipped classroom instruction is a more effective strategy for fostering active learning and improving comprehension of key physics topics, such as projectile motion, impulse and momentum, linear momentum conservation, and mechanical energy conservation. The research encourages future researchers to replicate this study in other educational settings and expand its scope by exploring additional factors that influence the effectiveness of flipped classroom instruction.
ARE THE DWARF NOVAE OUTBURSTS ABSENT IN VY SCL-TYPE STARS LOW STATES?
Authors: Boeva S. , Latev G. , Miteva R. , Cvetković Z.
Published: February 2025

Low states light curves of VY Scl type systems show rises with amplitudes 35 mag. Despite the accepted belief that this type of star does not exhibit outbursts similar to the dwarf novae (DNe) one, their amplitudes, shapes and periods are similar to DNe with the same orbital periods. MV Lyr, TT Ari and KR Aur show periodicities in the range 200-400 d, but second maximum in power spectra also occurs around 850-1000 d.The estimation of the change of mass loss via coronal mass ejections during the solar activity cycle can vary more than 5 times. The red dwarfs magnetic cycles with duration of years can explain the reduced mass transfer and long deep states in VY Scl variables.

Published: February 2025

We present the results from the investigation of a filament eruption, occurring in the southern solar hemisphere on October 18, 2017. The event was observed in the field- of-view of Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and STEREO A observatory and was associated with a halo CME. The CME displayed a strong non-radial motion towards the pole. The eruption started behind the limb, from a circular filament, close to the disk center.We studied the eruption kinematic, using data from EUVI STEREO A. Additionally, the latitudinal offset of the CME with respect to the erupting filament in the LASCO field- of-view was examined.

Umut hakkı ve takdir marjı doktrini İnsan Hakları Avrupa Mahkemesi’nin kararlarıyla zaman içinde şekillenmiş kavramlardır. İnsan Hakları Avrupa Sözleşmesi’nin, “işkence yasağı” başlıklı 3. maddesinin Mahkemece geniş ve dinamik yorumlanmasıyla
ortaya çıkmış olan umut hakkı, müebbet hapis cezası hükümlülerinin, mahkumiyetlerinin belirli bir aşamasında koşullu salıverilme umuduna sahip olabilmelerini gerektirmektedir. Bu açıdan umut hakkı, Mahkeme’nin ilke olarak Sözleşmeci
Devletlerin takdir marjına bırakarak denetim dışı gördüğü ceza ve infaz sistemlerine ilişkin bir takım yükümlülükler ortaya çıkarmıştır. Türkiye açısında da, koşullu salıverilme imkanı tanınmayan ağırlaştırılmış müebbet hapis cezaları
nedeniyle İHAM tarafından verilen ihlal kararları, ulusal ceza infaz sisteminin umut hakkına uygun olarak düzenlenmesini zaruri kılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, İHAM’ın umut hakkı çerçevesinde belirlediği kriterler, Türkiye’nin ceza infaz
düzenlemelerine ilişkin takdir marjının sınırlarını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk ceza infaz sistemini, İHAM kararlarında umut hakkı ve takdir marjı doktrininin kesişme alanında yer alan devletlerin ceza infaz rejimlerine
ilişkin uymaları gereken kriterler bağlamında incelemektir.
