How Different Training Types and Computer Anxiety Influence Performance and Experiences in Virtual Reality
Authors: Han Eugy , Strate Ian , Nowak Kristine L. , Bailenson Jeremy N.
Published: November 2024

Virtual reality (VR) can place people in unique environments and facilitate engagement, making it a compelling tool for storytelling and learning. However, experiencing narratives requires immersion, which can be difficult for those who are anxious about technology. Prior research has shown that training new users on how to use VR before they engage in learning tasks housed in VR is critical. The right kind of training and targeted guidance may help people, including those with computer anxiety, better navigate virtual experiences. However, best practices for how training should be administered remain unclear. This study examined how training type (paper, video, and VR) and computer anxiety influenced outcomes using a large sample size (n = 284). We measured performance and self-reported outcomes while participants navigated computer-graphic scenes, manipulated three-dimensional objects, and watched a narrative 360° video. Results showed that participants who received training via video or VR mastered more VR functions than those who received training via paper. Additionally, those who trained directly in VR had less of a negative experience using VR for completing tasks. Furthermore, participants who trained in VR perceived the training as more useful and found the VR tasks to be easier compared to those who received training in paper or video. Finally, those with high levels of computer anxiety, regardless of training, had more negative outcomes than those with low computer anxiety, including having less mastery of VR functions and engagement with the 360° video content, perceiving the training as being less useful, completing tasks with more difficulty, and having more of a negative experience. Our results suggest that keeping the medium the same both during training and doing is ideal. We discuss implications for theories of information processing in VR, as well as implications for scaled engagement with narratives and learning in VR.

Authors: Meshkova N.V. , Enikolopov S.N. , Bochkova M.N. , Meshkov I.A.
Published: November 2024

The article presents the results of a series of studies on the influence of socio-political conditions — the modern context and the pre-covid period, on the manifestation of malevolent creativity in behavior that harms other people. The sample consisted of adolescents (N=52, 19 - boys; Age = 16.0 years); samples of cadets (N=96, 72 - boys; М = 15.4 years), cadets-students (N=204, 152 — men; M = 19.3), psychology students (N=50, 3 - men; M = 20.4). Hypotheses about differences in different contexts were tested: 1. in the levels of malevolent creativity (MC), 2. in the relationship MC with personal characteristics and between personal characteristics, 3. the presence of age-related characteristics of MC that do not differ in different socio-political conditions. A battery of questionnaires was used: NEO-FFI, BPAQ-24, “Behavioral features of antisocial creativity”, moral identity, “Tolerance Index” and a developed questionnaire with statements about the presence/absence of attention to the news about the situation in Russia and the world and the sources of this information. The results obtained confirmed the hypotheses put forward. It is noted that the existing limitations in the study made it possible to identify not only the features of antisocial creativity in adolescents in different socio-political conditions, but also features related to the professional context (civil professions and law enforcement agencies), allowing them to be taken into account in the prevention of antisocial creativity in the modern socio-political context.
Examining the Effectiveness of Teacher Education in the Lesotho Context: Implications on Teachers’ Efficacy
Authors: Thaanyane Mamosa , Jita Thuthukile
Published: November 2024

Teacher education provides the initial step in the professional development of preservice teachers introducing them to new viewpoints while providing them with information and skills. This knowledge is but not limited to subject and pedagogical content knowledge that form the basis of quality teaching. However, studies have seldom evaluated the effectiveness of teacher education in producing more skilled and thoughtful teachers. This study examines preservice teachers’ opinions about the effectiveness of their initial training and how it affects their self-efficacy. Using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, data was gathered from ten preservice teachers purposively selected for the study. The results showed that the effectiveness of teacher education depends on the strength of micro-teaching, good supervision; pedagogical content; and ability to manage classrooms. Consequently, the study highlights deficiencies in teacher education resulting from the following: teaching practice as a component of teacher education was too short to give them time to practice; their mentors did not allow them to practice most of the time, allowance to teach teaching subjects, they are sometimes misused by their mentors in that they do a lot of their work; they are forced to take several courses of which when they fail, due to clashing time-tables they have to repeat courses; they miss tests, lack of pedagogy by some of their lecturers. This implies that even though teacher education is significant in developing preservice teachers’ professionalism, it can highly decrease their efficacy. Providing effective teacher education to preservice teachers prolongs their stay in the teaching profession.

Authors: Bezerra Felipe Gonçalves , Campos Maria Eduarda Ferreira , Bezerra João Felipe , Costa Romero Marcos Pedrosa Brandão , Wanderley Marcela Silvestre Outtes , Marques Daniela de Araújo Viana
Published: November 2024

As dermatofitoses são micoses que afetam as camadas externas da pele, cabelos e unhas. Nos últimos anos, tem havido um incentivo crescente à pesquisa com o objetivo de desenvolver produtos de origem natural como alternativas para o tratamento dessas infecções. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento da literatura sobre a atividade antifúngica de compostos presentes em óleos essenciais e seus mecanismos de ação contra espécies de dermatófitos. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados Bireme, PubMed, Scielo e Google Acadêmico, abrangendo publicações nacionais e internacionais no período de 2018 a 2024, utilizando os descritores "antifungal agent", "dermatophytosis" e "essential oils". O levantamento resultou em 68 publicações, das quais, após a leitura preliminar dos títulos e resumos e de acordo com os critérios estabelecidos, 9 artigos foram selecionados para a elaboração deste estudo. Os resultados indicam que os óleos essenciais de Melaleuca alternifolia, Thymus vulgaris, Agathosma betulina, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Pelargonium graveolens e Schinus lentiscifolius apresentaram atividade antifúngica contra as principais espécies de dermatófitos, principalmente devido a compostos que atuam na ruptura da membrana celular fúngica. Portanto, a atividade antifúngica dos óleos essenciais é de grande importância para o desenvolvimento de fármacos contendo compostos efetivos capazes de inibir o crescimento fúngico de forma equivalente aos medicamentos sintéticos.
Toledo e Italia. Relaciones artísticas de ida y vuelta (siglos XV-XVIII)
Authors:   Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha
Published: November 2024

Esta publicación tiene como objetivo actualizar y completar las relaciones artísticas que, durante toda la Edad Moderna, mantuvieron los diversos Estados italianos con el ámbito toledano. Artistas, obras, técnicas e ideas describieron durante aquellos siglos itinerarios de ida y vuelta que imprimieron unas coordenadas estilísticas inequívocas. Aunque desde 1561 Madrid se convertiría en la capital definitiva de la Monarquía Hispánica, Toledo, al continuar ostentando la primacía religiosa, siguió siendo un foco artístico de primer nivel en la península Ibérica. En este punto de trasvases artísticos la figura del Greco adquiere una importancia excepcional por las novedades artísticas que, nacidas en Italia, serán experimentadas por primera vez en España, siendo Toledo un auténtico laboratorio de pruebas. En consecuencia, en los inicios del Barroco, las novedades importadas de país trasalpino convirtieron la pintura toledana en una autentica vanguardia, al ser la primera ciudad en adoptar la nueva corriente del naturalismo caravaggista de la mano de dos artistas locales de enorme importancia en el panorama nacional como Juan Bautista Maíno y Luis Tristán. Otros campos de influencia fueron la orfebrería y los trabajos de iluminación para los principales códices del entorno de la catedral de Toledo, donde se dejó sentir de igual modo la influencia de la Corte a partir de la permeabilidad de los referentes del scriptorium del Monasterio del Escorial.
Improving the quality of testing of hydralic equipment on a specialized measuring stand
Authors: Gladilin Yuriy  A. , Frantov Andrey A. , Vidyaskina Anna N. , Berestovitsky Erlen G.
Published: November 2024

Improving the quality of testing of electro-hydraulic equipment is associated with the development of measures to reduce the levels of the stands own noise, increasing the stability of the operation of hydraulic systems by increasing the degree of test automation and maintaining the stability of the operating parameters of the test bench’s hydraulic systems.
Stands for control of noise and vibration of electro-hydraulic equipment are quite complex engineering structures which include pumps, control valves and the pipelines themselves with fittings. To be able to obtain reliable data during bench testing, it is necessary to take all possible measures to reduce the levels of acoustic interference from operating bench mechanisms to values much lower than the levels of acoustic disturbance created by a working controlled hydraulic device.
The comprehensive automation system for testing processes is designed to automate the installation and maintenance of modes, measurement processes and processing of the results obtained. It includes a system of setting and maintaining modes, as well as a vibration measuring complex.
The system for setting and maintaining modes allows you to remotely control the following processes from control panels installed at the measuring sections included in the bench installations:

automated installation of parameters flow of working fluid and pressure in the lines of the stand;
turning on and off pumping units;
changing the rotation speed of electric drives of pumping units;
operation of shut-off and control valves.

In the process of improving the stand, an original method of programmatic control of setting and maintaining the parameters of the working environment was developed and implemented. The use of this method makes it possible to minimize vibration and noise levels from the equipment and regulatory bodies of the stand by optimizing the combination of their operating parameters.

THE AMERICAN PAINTER WALTER GOULD'S TRIP TO TURKEY IN 1851: VISIT TO LAJOS KOSSUTH AND REFLECTIONS IN ART
Authors: Küçükhasköylü Nurdan , Sarı Güven Melek
Published: November 2024

Painter Walter Gould was one of the first American orientalist painters to live in the 19th century and to travel to Turkey in 1851. Although he remained in the country for only two months, he based his entire career on this trip. Although it is stated that Gould came to paint portraits of Hungarian nationalist Lajos Kossuth, who took refuge in the Ottoman Empire and hid in the Kütahya province, it is clear that his trip also served other purposes. This article focuses on Gould's mission in Turkey and his works, as well as the days in Kütahya where Kossuth, a Hungarian freedom fighter, came and lived with his entourage. In particular, the diaries of Kossuth's secretary, as well as the press coverage of the period, the artist's letters and reflections on his art, constituted important data sources for the article. In this study, while revealing the historical process in which the painter Walter Gould, who became famous for his works on the east, was involved, it was explained how Hungary's place of freedom and how this process shaped his art.
Challenges and Innovations in Drilling Fluid Management for High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT) Wells: Insights from Offshore and Swamp Well Operations with a Focus on Specialized Mud Systems in the Kolocreek and Koroama Fields
Authors: Kenneth Effam
Published: November 2024

By 2019, the management of drilling fluids for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells had become a critical focus area for offshore and swamp well operations, particularly in challenging environments such as the Kolocreek and Koroama fields. The extreme conditions of HPHT wells pose significant challenges, including maintaining well stability, ensuring operational safety, and adhering to environmental standards. This study examines these challenges and evaluates the innovative use of specialized mud systems, including reservoir drill-in fluids (RDIF), steel seal pills, and thixsal muds, which were emerging as advanced solutions at the time. Drawing on lessons learned from the design, implementation, and quality control processes of these systems, this research underscores the role of tailored drilling fluid technologies in optimizing cost-effectiveness, enhancing safety, and achieving regulatory compliance. The findings from this study provide a snapshot of the industry's state in 2019, offering insights into the evolving strategies for managing HPHT wells and setting a foundation for future advancements in drilling fluid technologies.
Régimen jurídico y organizativo de la participación de los entes locales en la conformación de comunidades energéticas
Authors: Fuentes I Gasó Josep Ramon
Published: November 2024

La Unión Europea ha puesto en marcha un conjunto de políticas y medidas jurídicas que buscan promover un modelo energético descentralizado que coloque a los ciudadanos en el centro del sistema, y les permita tener un rol activo y proveerse de su propia energía, así como de otros servicios energéticos. Dentro de este modelo surgen las comunidades energéticas como mecanismos de interacción entre personas físicas, entes locales y pequeñas y medianas empresas que tienen el potencial de garantizar un futuro organizativo para una transición energética justa y sostenible. En este panorama, los gobiernos locales, como Administraciones públicas de proximidad, pueden ser ejemplarizantes y participar directamente en las comunidades energéticas; sin embargo, su concreción en la realidad no está exenta de obstáculos. Por ello, en este trabajo se analiza, según lo dispuesto en el ordenamiento jurídico español, cuáles son los posibles mecanismos o “entidades jurídicas” de las que pueden valerse los entes locales para la conformación de comunidades energéticas, y así, poder contribuir con la transición energética.
The Internet as Constitutional Right and Public Utility in Peru: A Critical Perspective
Authors: Chang Chuyes Guillermo
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the recent designation of the internet as a constitutional right in Peruvian law, analyzing the relationship between constitutional rights and public services. Generally, not every constitutional right necessitates the creation of a public utility, nor is every public service inherently tied to a constitutional right. As indicated in the legislative record, the constitutional reform recognizing the internet as a right may not yield the anticipated outcomes. The effectiveness and efficiency of such a service cannot be ensured through legal protection alone. Therefore, the establishment of a public service must be grounded in careful planning and foresight, supported by a reasonableness analysis.
Krytyk w „epoce postartystycznej”. O koncepcji Jerzego Ludwińskiego na przykładzie działalności Galerii „Pod Moną Lisą”
Authors: Góźdź Szymon
Published: November 2024

Artykuł zawiera ogólną charakterystykę Galerii „Pod Moną Lisą” w odniesieniu do osoby i pionierskich założeń Jerzego Ludwińskiego. Przedstawiam w nim najważniejsze fakty dotyczące powstania, programu i funkcjonowania Galerii; a także reakcje oraz ogólne kalendarium działalności wystawowej. Zakładam, że o fakcie zaistnienie i sukcesie Galerii, oprócz tytanicznego wkładu Ludwińskiego, w dużej mierze zadecydowała specyfika ówczesnego Wrocławia. Staram się również określić wagę i znaczenie nowatorskiego wariantu krytyki artystycznej Ludwińskiego z powodzeniem wcielonego w życie za sprawą Galerii, zarówno w okresie jej działalności, jak i po jej zamknięciu.
Czy krytyka gier planszowych jest możliwa (i potrzebna)?
Authors: Kurowska Katarzyna
Published: November 2024

Artykuł stanowi refleksję wokół sposobów odbioru gier planszowych i próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy i jakie jest ich miejsce w świecie krytyki? Czy w dobie, gdy krytyka przechodzi z rąk profesjonalistów w ręce amatorów, gry planszowe, nie doczekawszy się jeszcze poważnego traktowania zarówno w środowisku krytycznym, jak i akademickim, mogą liczyć na profesjonalne refleksje krytyczne? Autorka wychodząc od zarysowania potencjału krytycznego gier, przez zaprezentowanie przejawów obecnej polskiej „krytyki” planszówek, dochodzi do próby scharakteryzowania problemu z krytycznym postrzeganiem gier.
Poszukiwanie tożsamości w kraju (nie)pamięci. O dokumentalnej twórczości Ruth Beckermann
Authors: Wesołowska Olga
Published: November 2024

Ruth Beckermann jest austriacko-żydowską reżyserką. Jej twórczość wpisuje się w tradycję „kalania własnego gniazda” (niem. Nestbeschmutzer). W Austrii tak określa się twórców, którzy nie szczędzą własnemu krajowi krytyki, dekonstruują austriackie mity, poruszają tematy tabu. To właśnie robi Beckermann, nie tylko w swoich filmach, lecz również książkach, esejach oraz instalacjach artystycznych. Autorka reprezentuje nie tylko postawę Nestbeschmutzera. Jej filmy dokumentalne, które są przedmiot badań w tej książce, stanowią również formę rozważań nad własną tożsamością w kraju, który nie rozliczył się z nazizmem i antysemityzmem. W powojennej Austrii dyskurs o wydarzeniach z lat 1938-1945 zdominował mit „pierwszej ofiary” Hitlera.
Analiza dokumentalnej twórczości Beckermann pozwala przyjrzeć się obrazowi Austrii oraz jej mieszkańców. Choć autorka chciała opuścić kraj, gdzie – jak twierdzi – jej uczucia jako Żydówki oraz córki Ocalałych z Holocaustu nie są respektowane, to jednak została i to właśnie Austrii poświęca najwięcej uwagi w swoich dziełach.
Dla interpretacji filmów Beckermann kluczowe jest uwzględnienie kontekstu kulturowego, historycznego oraz politycznego. Podstawy metodologiczne tej książki opierają się przede wszystkim na teoriach z zakresu studiów nad pamięcią oraz studiów postkolonialnych.
Dimensiones de la educación inclusiva en voz del estudiante de ciclos formativos
Authors: Gallego–Jiménez M. Gloria , Rodríguez Otero Luis Manuel , Sánchez–Macías Inmaculada
Published: November 2024

La inclusión en educación es el horizonte en el que se enmarca el sistema educativo español y con la que se pretende garantizar una educación de calidad para todos, atendiendo las características de los alumnos. Se realizó una investigación mixta con el objetivo de determinar las dimensiones a través de las cuales el alumnado de formación profesional construye el imaginario sobre la educación inclusiva. Se seleccionó una muestra de 1.070 alumnos, a través de un muestreo aleatorio simple, y se aplicó un cuestionario autoadministrado sobre la percepción de la educación inclusiva. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de frecuencias con base en las dimensiones: educativa, axiológica, política, cultural y social. En esta última dimensión se detecta cómo los estudiantes perciben y experimentan el liderazgo inclusivo y diverso entre sus pares y cómo esto influye en su visión de la educación inclusiva en general. Asimismo, se abordó un análisis de medidas de tendencia central con base en las características sociodemográficas. Los resultados mostraron que las dimensiones social y política son las más referidas por la muestra. Asimismo, se comprobó que los alumnados que poseen un imaginario más completo sobre la educación inclusiva son: las mujeres, la muestra que cursa un ciclo formativo de grado superior, los que residen ámbito urbano, los de centros concertados y los que cursan un ciclo del área de artes.
La gestión y prácticas interculturales hacia la garantía de la calidad en la formación superior del profesorado
Authors: Lopes Reis Márcia , Montesano de Talavera Marisa
Published: November 2024

El artículo plantea una reflexión sobre prácticas marcadas por las culturas de los sistemas de educación superior en algunas instituciones de países de Latinoamérica y Caribe (LATAM), desde el proyecto ECALFOR, financiado por la Unión Europea. Estas crearon unidades de calidad en sus instituciones, como un instrumento que podría evaluar las competencias básicas del profesorado en formación, como garantía de mejora de esa formación del profesorado, para la calidad educativa de la región. El estudio de tipo cualitativo hace un análisis documental para explicar la creación de esas unidades de calidad en las instancias donde se forma el profesorado inicial, como una práctica que pudiera respaldar la calidad de los títulos emitidos para enseñantes en sus países. Se hace un recorrido por distintas acciones que estas instituciones de educación superior (IES) han llevado adelante para el aseguramiento de esa calidad y se plantea como un modelo que puede ser replicado en otras acciones de la gestión universitaria. El recorrido invita a indagar sobre los procesos de la gestión que estas IES siguen para garantizar sus perfiles de salida y responder a un mercado laboral docente emergente, que exige competencias todavía más complejas en el enseñante y que deben, por tanto, respaldar las acciones institucionales que se llevan adelante.
L’ITALIA TRA RISORGIMENTO E FASCISMO ATTRAVERSO LA STAMPA FEMMINILE
Authors: Sándor Krisztina
Published: November 2024

Il principale problema nello studio del giornalismo femminile è dato dalla brevità del tempo finora dedicato alla trattazione delle fonti specifiche. Nonostante quest’interesse ritardato della storiografia, le fonti dimostrano che il racconto del Risorgimento ebbe già due facce: una narrazione tendenzialmente nelle mani di uomini colti, accanto alla quale appaiono le prime voci femminili che desiderano esprimere il loro punto di vista. Per completezza di analisi è importante dedicare attenzione anche ai passaggi burocratici e legislativi che hanno toccato in modo diretto la sfera femminile della società, che all’inizio del ventesimo secolo hanno portato a notevoli migliorie nella considerazione della posizione sociale della donna. Il periodo fecondo dopo l’Unità d’Italia crea un microcosmo positivo a Milano, luogo in cui diverse redazioni giornalistiche al femminile prendono piede e trovano un notevole e rilevante taglio nell’interpretare le esigenze sociali e politiche della donna nuova. Il fervente inizio del Novecento permette di salire sul palcoscenico del giornalismo attivo a personaggi come Anna Kuliscioff, Margherita Sarfatti e un personaggio poco noto ma non meno importante quale Stefania Türr, figlia del generale garibaldino ungherese ed eroe del Risorgimento, István Türr. Con l’esame di fonti giornalistiche d’epoca si evidenzia che non necessariamente esiste un giornalismo prettamente femminile, ma esistono una sensibilità ed un linguaggio specifico che è proprio della penna di un’autrice. Questo lavoro non mira ad una comparazione tra generi, ma intende fare luce sul contesto sociale e storico nel periodo tra Unità d’Italia e primo Novecento, in cui le prime grandi giornaliste trovano la loro strada e una voce personale.
Understanding Creativity through Education Theories and Teaching of Foreign Languages
Authors: Midžić Arijana , Tockić-Ćeleš Jasmina
Published: November 2024

The paper explains the phenomenon of creativity through various implicit and explicit definitions and three theories of education through the most important characteristics of the theories and their most significant representatives. With the aim of better familiarization with the concept of creativity, the „position" of creativity in the critical-rationalist empirical, critical and spiritual theory of education is explained, and the understanding of creativity through the areas of the aforementioned theories of education is presented. The paper presents the relationship between pedagogy and creativity and highlights the importance of creativity in the field of teaching work. The need for creativity in educational work and the importance of developing creativity in that context and in the teaching of foreign languages were especially discussed. Given that educational theories talk about the empirical justification of pedagogical facts through critical-rationalist empirical theory, then about the developmental aspects of society and the way society influences scientific knowledge through critical theory and the understanding of human activity through spiritual scientific theory, it is justified to talk about the representation of creativity in the areas of activity of all three educational theories.
Sindrom sagorevanja kod studenata – istorijska perspektiva
Authors: Bekić Simona
Published: November 2024

Teme profesionalnog i akademskog sagorevanja široko su rasprostranjene u savremenim naučnim krugovima. Hiljade knjiga, disertacija i članaka svedoče o važnosti ove teme kako na domaćem, tako i na stranom govornom području. Konceptualizacija sindroma sagorevanja uveliko se promenila od pre 50 godina kada je prvi put skovan termin burnout. Danas on obuhvata čitav spektar društvenih grupa i odnosa van konteksta pomažućih profesija – sagoreti mogu sportisti, aktivisti, supružnici i studenti. Usled manjka literature koja sumira znanja iz ove oblasti, cilj ovog rada je da pregledno predstavi istorijski kontekst razvoja sindroma sagorevanja kod studenata. Zarad dostizanja ovog cilja, definisani su pojmovi sindroma sagorevanja i akademskog sagorevanja. Takođe je prikazan istorijski razvoj istraživanja ova dva konstrukta, kao i skale korišćene tokom godina za merenje akademskog sagorevanja. Na kraju rada, ukazuje se na pravac istraživačkog delovanja kojim treba ići ne bi li se unapredilo kako teorijsko, tako i praktično delovanje kada je u pitanju sindrom sagorevanja kod studenata.
Communication of Preschool Teachers with Parents and Children During the Pandemic
Authors: Hmelak Maja , Kaučevič Tamara , Baša Moris
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the results communication relations of preschool teachers with parents and children during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the theoretical part, we present the importance of cooperative relations between preschool teachers and parents, the increasing use of ICT technology and the ways in which preschool teachers communicate with parents and children during distance education. In the empirical part, we present the results of a survey conducted on a sample of 100 preschool education professionals from all over Slovenia. We found that most respondents attribute significant importance to communication and cooperation with parents. However, there are also some for whom these relationships are not necessary. We also found that during the closure of kindergartens, preschool teachers most often communicated with children once or twice a month. At the same time, they point out that this way of interaction with children is inappropriate and incomparable to live interaction. Additionally, we found that preschool teachers continued to communicate with parents in similar ways as before the pandemic, with increased communication via phone conversations, e-mail and the kindergarten's website. In contrast, the frequency of parental meetings, office hours and information on bulletin boards decreased.

Identificou, igualmente, suas condições de vida e desafios encontrados em face às normas editadas durante 2020. Os dados foram comparados com os registros apostos nas planilhas do Sistema Nacional de Cadastro Migratório (SISMIGRA), alimentadas pela Polícia Federal e posteriormente complementados com informações trazidas em entrevistas abertas realizadas com os estudantes. Aqui são apresentados e analisados especialmente os resultados quantitativos. Esperamos que possam subsidiar políticas públicas de internacionalização acadêmica, melhorar as práticas da polícia federal em relação a esses imigrantes, bem como otimizar sua recepção junto às universidades brasileiras.
Celebrating 100 Years of Modern Quality
Authors: BACIVAROV Ioan C.
Published: November 2024

Quality, an omnipresent characteristic, with a profound impact on the entire economic and social life, recently celebrated this year a century since it was founded as a science. In the first part of the paper, the author analyzes how quality was founded as a science and analyzes the contributions of Walter Shewhart, considered as the "father of modern quality", as well as other quality gurus in this direction. The author concludes that quality is a dynamic concept, which constantly evolved in the 100 years of its existence. The evolution of quality in this first century of existence is analyzed and the prospects for the development of this important field are highlighted. Some of the Romanian Association for Information Security Assurance (RAISA)'s contributions to the implementation of cybersecurity (an important component of quality) culture are highlighted. Finally, some workshops organized under the auspices of RAISA in May 2024 in order to celebrate a century of modern quality are briefly analyzed.
The Effect of the KiberPajzs Initiative on Fraud Detected in Electronic Payments in Hungary
Authors: BIRÓ Gabriella
Published: November 2024

The paper examines what effect the KiberPajzs initiative has on fraud detected in electronic payments in Hungary for the 2023-2024 period. First the current electronic payment fraud landscape of Hungary is described through cybercrime tendencies, the impact of digitalization on banking, and the regulatory background of electronic payments. Then the KiberPajzs initiative is introduced together with its related communicational, regulatory and law enforcement projects. Finally, the recent quarterly payment fraud data published by the Central Bank of Hungary is examined and the effects of KiberPajzs are evaluated. The author argues that the decrease in the number and value of fraudulent electronic transactions and the increase in identified failed fraud attempts coincide with the activities of the KiberPajzs initiative.
A National Security Perspective on Strengthening E.U. Civilian-Defence Cybersecurity Synergy: A Systemic Approach
Authors: IANCU Niculae
Published: November 2024

The integration of civilian and defence sectors within the European Union's cybersecurity framework has become a strategic priority, driven by the increasingly complex nature of digital threats to both national and collective security. This paper examines the need for a systematic approach to enhance civilian-defence cybersecurity synergy, emphasising the importance of coordinated efforts to address a range of challenges, including ransomware, state-sponsored attacks, and hybrid warfare. The study highlights the strategic importance of this integration for national and E.U.-wide interests, identifying key obstacles such as fragmented policy frameworks, operational cultural differences, and resource allocation disparities. To bridge these gaps, the paper proposes strategic solutions, including regulatory harmonisation, joint training programmes, and investment in dual-use technologies. The research underscores the critical role of a unified policy approach in facilitating efficient resource allocation, streamlined communication, and faster incident response. Additionally, it explores the potential of emerging technologies, such as AI and quantum computing, to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities across sectors. Ultimately, the integration of civilian and defence efforts within the E.U.'s cybersecurity ecosystem is essential for building a resilient, cohesive, and adaptive framework, ensuring the protection of digital infrastructure, enhancing national security, and reinforcing the E.U.'s global leadership in cybersecurity.
Cyber Threats and Exploring the Sources of Cyber Threat Intelligence
Authors: STĂNCIULESCU Adelaida , COPACI Constantin-Alin , BACIVAROV Ioan C.
Published: November 2024

Cyber threat intelligence technology becomes a necessity in the context of the exponential evolution of information systems. The methods used by malicious actors are constantly evolving, becoming more and more sophisticated over time, thus making the task of security teams more difficult. This article aims to investigate cyber threats, providing information necessary to understand and detect the mode of operation of the attack, to then decline and disseminate it within the information systems to be protected. Advanced threat intelligence thus supports proactive monitoring of emerging threats by determining trends in the cyber landscape.
Cybercrime: A New Challenge of Criminality in the Digital Age
Authors: OROȘANU Marius-Andrei , ALEXANDRU Mihăiță
Published: November 2024

Cybercrime, encompassing a broad spectrum of illicit activities executed through digital technologies, poses a critical threat to global security, economics, and individual privacy. Key methods, such as phishing, exploit user vulnerabilities by using deceptive techniques to acquire sensitive personal and financial data. Phishing-related offenses are explicitly addressed within legal frameworks, such as those outlined in the Penal Code, where they are classified under offenses against property and public safety. This underscores the integral role of legal structures in mitigating the growing risks posed by cybercrime, particularly as technological advancements enhance the complexity of such criminal activities. Additionally, the widespread use of fake websites for phishing purposes heightens the dangers of identity theft, financial fraud, and compromised banking systems, with long-lasting implications for victims’ credit scores and financial stability.
Ovídio e o Epos
Authors: Spalic Clara
Published: November 2024

Apesar da presença das Metamorfoses de Ovídio no cânone de épicos latinos de Quintiliano (Inst. 10.1.88), por exemplo, a tendência imperante na crítica contemporânea parece ser a de considerá-las um poema sui generis, isto é, inclassificável quanto ao gênero poético a que pertence. O artigo parte das reflexões e testemunhos trazidos por Oliva Neto (2013, p. 41-76) relativamente a um conceito de epos mais abrangente do que o aristotélico, que encamparia também os poemas classificados sob a categoria de “didáticos”. Proponho, então, uma reavaliação do pertencimento das Metamorfoses ao gênero épico, postulando a hipótese de que, não obstante a presença da poikilía nos hexâmetros ovidianos, o poema é essencialmente um híbrido de diferentes espécies e subespécies épicas, portanto, apesar de inovador, essencialmente épico. A hipótese é testada em uma breve análise do episódio de Galateia e Polifemo (Met. 13.738-897), case study que Farrell (1992) utiliza para fundamentar sua leitura das Metamorfoses como “poema polifônico”. No episódio em questão, além da mistura entre o epos bucólico e o guerreiro, argumento ser possível perceber, através de alusões tanto às Éclogas como à Eneida, uma oppositio in imitando à obra virgiliana como um todo.

The research approach used is qualitative, and is a case study type of research. Data collection was carried out through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The research results show that the development of Bukit Matang Kaladan ecotourism has manifested several principles of sustainable development. First, ecological protection in the form of: 1) nature conservation programs; 2) prohibition on cutting down trees in conservation forest areas; 3) prohibition of littering. Second, social development in the form of: 1) growing tourism awareness among local communities based on the 7 (seven) sapta charm values; 2) increasing the level of public education. Third, economic development can be seen in: 1) the existence of original village income originating from ecotourism; 2) increasing employment opportunities for the community. However, the development of Bukit Matang Kaladan ecotourism cannot be said to have implemented the principles of sustainable development optimally and comprehensively. One of them is the principle of sustainable development, the point of ecological sustainability, which can be seen in the local community of Tiwingan Lama Village and tourists who do not keep the environment clean properly. The behavior of littering causes large amounts of plastic waste to be scattered in the Bukit Matang Kaladan ecotourism area. Therefore, it is hoped that the village government will continue to make efforts related to optimal ecological sustainability in the field of plastic waste management.

The Martapura River plays a vital role as a source of life for the community, especially for women, whose almost entire daily activities are related to the river, such as washing, bathing, and earning a livelihood. This study aims to examine the correlation between ecosophy knowledge and women's behavior in managing and utilizing the river. This study uses a quantitative survey method, conducted in Sungai Rangas Tengah Village, Banjar Regency. The study population consisted of women aged 20 to 80 years who have lived in Sungai Rangas Tengah Village, Banjar Regency for more than 10 years. The research respondents were 50 women randomly selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis techniques used include descriptive, simple regression, and correlation. The results of the study show that a deep understanding of ecosophy is positively and significantly correlated with women's behavior towards the river. The higher the understanding of ecosophy among women, the higher the level of responsive behavior towards the river. The contribution of ecosophy to women's behavior towards the river is 49%, while the remaining 51% is influenced by other factors beyond ecosophy understanding. However, there is still a noticeable gap between conceptual understanding and daily practice. Although the majority of respondents are aware of the dangers and negative impacts of dumping waste into the river, technical constraints such as the lack of waste management facilities and inadequate waste disposal systems hinder the implementation of ecosophy ethics in daily life. It is crucial to have continuous efforts from related parties to enhance women's understanding of ecosophy, whether through education, training, or empowerment, as a crucial aspect in promoting environmentally friendly practices, especially in river environments.
