The Impact of Online PD Programs on Reflective Thinking Levels of Secondary EFL Teachers
Authors: Nufus Tatu Zakiyatun
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of online professional development (PD) programs on the reflective thinking levels of secondary EFL teachers in Indonesia. Despite having sufficient content knowledge, many EFL teachers lack confidence in using English in classroom settings. Reflective practice has been identified as a key strategy to improve both language proficiency and professional confidence. This research, employing a case study design, focused on a 10-week online PD program organized by a university educator in Indonesia. A purposive sample of 10 EFL teachers participated in semi-structured interviews to explore their engagement in reflective practices. The findings indicate that while some teachers struggled to participate in reflective activities due to overwhelming workloads, others engaged in reflection-on-action and reflection-for-action. These reflections addressed areas such as instructional strategies, course organization, classroom management, student motivation and readiness, teaching materials, teaching awareness, and self-efficacy in teaching English language skills. However, reflection-in-action was notably absent. The results underscore the critical role of structured guidance and support within professional development (PD) programs in fostering meaningful reflective practices among secondary EFL teachers and the need for PD facilitators to prioritize incorporating reflective components into program design, ensuring that teachers are equipped with clear frameworks and tools for reflection.

The Problem of Translation of the American and British English Versions of The Witcher in Media and Literature
Authors: Kanecki Przemyslaw
Published: December 2024

This study aims to highlight the translation complexities of “the Witcher” into American and British English as far as adapting cultural aspects, idiomatic expressions, and humour. The researcher intends to analyze the translating challenges to develop strategies that enhance cultural resonance and understanding of the Witcher. Because of its Slavic cultural background, adapting “The Witcher” requires attention to differences in syntax, phonetics, and idiomatic expressions that distinguish American and British English. A combination of linguistic, critical, and conceptual analyses is adopted as a research design to reach the study objectives. A comparative analysis focusing on the distinct linguistic features in both translations was conducted, and cultural approaches were applied to assess the effectiveness of various translation strategies. Specific examples were taken from The Witcher novels and games to illustrate how these linguistic and cultural distinctions impact the translation process. Findings revealed significant challenges in translating idioms, cultural expressions, and humour, which are integral to preserving the atmosphere of The Witcher. For example, adapting phrases with deep-rooted cultural meanings often necessitates significant modifications to maintain relevance for American and British audiences. Differences in sentence structure and vocabulary between American and British English also affected readers’ engagement and understanding of The Witcher. This study concludes by highlighting the need for culturally aware translation strategies where translators must balance accuracy in language with cultural adaptation. Understanding the cultural backgrounds of both the source and target languages may ensure idioms, humour, and character voices connect with different audiences. The findings of this study are particularly relevant for translators, editors, and cultural studies professionals engaged in intercultural communication, as they offer insights into the nuanced processes required for successful adaptation. This study provides valuable recommendations for improving translations of culturally rich works like The Witcher for a global audience.

Authors: Mozer Rodrigo Henrique , Silvestro Eloisa Helena , Vaniel Ana Paula Härter , Lauxen Ademar Antonio
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo resulta do processo de curricularização da extensão nos cursos de Química (Licenciatura e Bacharelado) da Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF). As ações no território que integram a análise nesse texto se originaram em três projetos de extensão vinculados aos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos envolvidos, por meio da “creditação curricular” que caracteriza a curricularização da extensão. A execução envolveu acadêmicos, professores da graduação, professores e estudantes de uma escola municipal, em que houve a proposição e o desenvolvimento de atividades experimentais investigativas nas aulas de Ciências em turmas do Ensino Fundamental. O território é um bairro da cidade de Passo Fundo, sendo que a Universidade é parceira da rede de ensino do município, bem como de outras entidades presentes nesse local. No território a Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) se faz presente com ações que envolvem os diversos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação. Entende-se que os saberes socializados, a construção de estratégias de ação e a vivência do contexto escolar potencializa de forma significativa a formação de todos os envolvidos. As atividades experimentais propostas e desenvolvidas abarcaram conceitos do currículo escolar, tendo o caráter investigativo, e tem vinculação com disciplinas do currículo da graduação. Os resultados das ações se mostraram relevantes ao proporcionarem novos aprendizados e despertarem o interesse dos estudantes das turmas, contribuindo com a alfabetização científica. Para além disso, a curricularização da extensão possibilitou a inserção de acadêmicos em formação inicial e professores formadores dos cursos de Química no espaço escolar, o que contribuiu para a (re)elaboração de conhecimentos pertinentes à docência.

Making and Breaking: An Analysis of Representation and Nonrepresentation in Indian Matchmaking
Authors: MMJ Vasudha
Published: December 2024

This paper critically analyzes the Netflix reality show Indian Matchmaking through the lens of feminist and postcolonial theory, focusing on the cultural and social implications of matchmaking practices depicted in the series. By utilizing the theoretical frameworks of Simone de Beauvoir, Stuart Hall, and Michel Foucault, this paper explores how the show reinforces gender roles, caste hierarchies, and Eurocentric beauty ideals. Additionally, the paper integrates meme culture and humor as a medium of resistance against these established norms, highlighting how digital spaces enable viewers to critique the problematic representations within the show. Through this intersectional approach, the paper reveals how Indian Matchmaking perpetuates and critiques societal stereotypes, shedding light on the complex and evolving nature of identity, marriage, and social expectations in contemporary Indian culture.
Unveiling Symbols Through Colours: Colorizing Gangubai Kathiawadi
Authors: Matkar Shubhekshana , Ghodake Sangita
Published: December 2024

The present study explores the symbolic significance of the color white as portrayed in the cinematic narrative of Gangubai Kathiawadi, a film that intricately weaves visual and thematic elements to highlight its protagonist’s journey. Focusing on the iconic white saree worn by Gangubai, the research explores how this singular color serves as a multifaceted symbol, embodying a spectrum of emotions, values, and socio-cultural dynamics. The white saree emerges as a central motif, representing love, spirituality, power, leadership, defeat, and submission, thus reflecting the layered complexities of Gangubai’s character and her evolving persona. The research underscores how the strategic use of white transcends mere aesthetics, becoming a narrative device that communicates the protagonist’s emotional state, resilience, and transformation. Through an analysis of key scenes and visual storytelling, the study illustrates how white evolves as a marker of purity juxtaposed with the grim realities of Gangubai’s world, thereby challenging conventional stereotypes associated with the color. It also examines how white reinforces themes of power and leadership, while simultaneously symbolizing moments of vulnerability and surrender, encapsulating the duality of strength and fragility. Furthermore, this research emphasizes the broader implications of color in cinema as a graphic element that encapsulates emotions, mindsets, and societal perceptions. By dissecting the nuanced use of white in Gangubai Kathiawadi, this study reveals the potency of color symbolism in shaping narratives, influencing audience perception, and deepening character arcs. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how visual elements in cinema can transcend superficial aesthetics to engage with profound symbolic and emotional dimensions. Ultimately, this study highlights the pivotal role of color in bridging the gap between visual representation and thematic depth, making Gangubai Kathiawadi a compelling case study in cinematic symbolism.
Racial equity and the USDA's Office of Urban Agriculture granting program and urban offices
Authors: Reynolds Kristin , Gottfried Cédric , Thomas Tamarra
Published: December 2024

Urban agriculture (UA) has long been practiced in the U.S. by socially disadvantaged and low-income people for the purposes of subsistence, community and resilience. Government support for UA, however, has waxed and waned, including in city and federal policy. The 2018 farm bill established the Office of Urban Agricul­ture and Innovative Production (OUAIP) with the mission to encourage and promote “urban, indoor, and other emerging agricultural practices” (Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Title XII, Sec. 12302). The inclusion of UA in federal agriculture policy was a welcome change for many urban farmers and gardeners who had long sought recognition of urban production. Yet, historical discriminatory policies and practices on the part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have led some farmers and advocates to be wary of the department, and may suggest reticence to engage with USDA programs. This brief shares key findings and policy recommendations from a study that sought to understand the roll-out of the OUAIP and con­nected programs through a racial equity lens. We used a multimethod data collection approach that included national surveys of UA stakeholders; in-depth interviews with UA stakeholders in two case study cities, New York City and Atlanta; informational interviews with Urban Service Center (USC) Leadership in cities with urban county USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices; GIS mapping of publicly accessible data; review of relevant policy documents; and participant observation, including meetings of the federal-level Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Advisory Committee (UAIPAC). The study was supported through the Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Policy Research Center (The Policy Center) at Alcorn State University. In this policy brief, we introduce the urban agriculture provisions in the 2018 farm bill in the context of historical discrimination within the USDA. We then provide a short overview of our 2023–2024 study exploring the establishment and outreach of these provisions among Socially Disad­vantaged Farmers and Ranchers (SDFRs) urban stakeholders followed by the key findings. We conclude with a set of policy recommendations, and reflection on how these recommendations may be relevant in 2025 and beyond.
A Modular Data Analysis for Ocean Surface Wind Prediction using
Artificial Intelligence-based Semantic Verification
Authors: Yu-Ge Liu Yu-Ge Liu , Yu-Ge Liu Bin-Feng Tang , Bin-Feng Tang Ying Huang
Published: December 2024

Predicting ocean surface winds aids in forecasting precise weather conditions and tides for residential and commercial purposes. A Multi-Modular Semantic Data Analysis (M2SDA) method is proposed to address the missing data errors across different accumulation regions to improve the forecast precision. Large volumes of data from multiple oceanic regions are gathered by sensors deployed across the ocean bed and buoy sense. Artificial intelligence-based analysis was used to identify missing data errors. Considering that the time factor is confined, the forecast endurance based on sensing and aggregation time factors is considered in the identification process, which is required for preventing breaks in data analysis. The M2SDA’s performance is validated using precision, error, analysis time, identification ratio, and analysis rate. Experimental results showed that the suggested M2SDA enhances precision, identification, and analysis ratio of 9.16%, 9.9%, and 8.19%. Error and analysis time are decreased by 8.75% and 10.63%.

Published: December 2024

Члены семьи Штиглиц сыграли важную роль в деловой и культурной жизни России XIX в. Наиболее известные представители рода — отец и сын, Людвиг и Александр Штиглицы — придворные банкиры и известные меценаты, учредители первых Российских железных дорог и машинных фабрик. Масштабы их финансовой и промышленной деятельности были отмечены возведением членов семьи в потомственное баронское достоинство. С фамилией Штиглиц связана история фабрично-жилого и усадебного комплекса в Ивангороде на берегу реки Наровы (совр. Нарвы). Для сохранения уникального приграничного ландшафта Нарвской акватории намечается комплексная программа по обследованию и реставрации фабричных зданий и парка, а также по воссозданию утраченного усадебного дома.

Members of the Stieglitz family played an important role in the business and cultural life of Russia in the 19th century. The most prominent representatives of the family — father and son, Ludwig and Alexander von Stieglitz — were court bankers and famous patrons, founders of Russia’s first railways and machine factories. The scale of their financial and industrial activities was marked by their elevation to hereditary baronial dignity. The history of the factory, residence and country estate complex in Ivangorod on the banks of the River Narova (present-day Narva) is tied to the Stieglitz family. In order to preserve the unique border landscape of the Narva water area, a comprehensive programme is planned to be launched with the aim of examination and restoration of  the factory buildings and the park, and recreation of the lost country estate house.
ДОМ ЛИДВАЛЬ ВЕК СПУСТЯ

Published: December 2024

Дом на  Каменноостровском проспекте, 1–3, относится к  начальному периоду творчества архитектора Ф.И.  Лидваля, выпускника Училища технического рисования барона Штиглица и  Императорской Академии художеств. Здание в  стиле модерн стало доминантой Каменноостровского проспекта Петроградской стороны. До 2020 г. этот объект культурного наследия находился в аварийном состоянии. В результате проведенных комплексных исследований материалов отделки, обследований технического состояния конструкций фасада выявлены утраты лепного декора, штукатурного слоя, деструкция кирпичной кладки; фасад был покрыт полимерной краской темно-желтого цвета, далекой от исторического колера. В период проведения ремонтно- реставрационных работ компанией ООО «СпецСтрой» восстановлен не только исторический колер, но и утраченный декор фасада. В процессе реставрации воссозданы уникальные техники, ко- торые применялись при проектировании и строительстве дома: декор сграффито, выколотная медь, резьба по камню, намазная лепка. Воспроизведено эффектное сочетание фактурной шту- катурки и натурального камня.

No 1–3 on Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg, known as the Lidvall House, is representative of the early period in the art of the great architect J.F. Lidvall, a graduate of the Stieglitz Academy and the Imperial Academy of Arts. This grandiose Art Nouveau building was to become the main landmark of Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt of the Petrograd Side. However, until 2020, this cultural heritage site and architectural monument had remained neglected and had almost fallen into disrepair. Comprehensive research investigations of the finishing materials and surveys of the technical condition of the façade revealed the loss of the stucco decoration and the plaster layer, the destruction of the brickwork; the dark yellow polymer paint of the façade proved to be dissimilar to the historical colour. As a result of the repair and restoration works carried out in 2020–2021 by the SpetsStroi restoration and construction agency, the rare historical colour was restored, the lost décor of the façade was recreated, and the damage was repaired. This article presents the stages of repair and restoration works conducted on the façade, discusses the problems of modern restoration of façades, and examines in detail the unique techniques that were used in the design and construction of Ida Lidvall’s house. Restoration interventions reintroduced the techniques used in the design and construction of the house: the artfully executed décor in the sgraffito technique, hammered copper, stone carving, on the spot plaster molding, stucco decoration, a spectacular combination of textured plaster and natural stone.

ДИЗАЙН И КУЛЬТУРА ЗАМЕЩЕНИЯ
Authors:  Салмин Л.Ю.
Published: December 2024

Сегодняшний кризис смыслов в дизайне есть естественное продолжение более широкого кризиса, происходящего в культуре в целом под влиянием ряда социальных, экономических, технологиче- ских и иных факторов. Предпринятая попытка рассмотреть дизайн в контексте процессов заме- щения, определяющих общую динамику в этой области, позволяет выделить ключевые аспекты исторической трансформации проектной культуры. Дело в том, что материалом замещения стала сама категория будущего: в обществе сегодня попросту отсутствует дискурс будущего как таковой. В наши дни дизайн оказался инсталлирован в такой социально-культурный организм, для которо- го будущее в его прежнем футуристическом значении вытеснено мифологизированными образами прошлого.

Today’s meaning crisis in design is a natural continuation of a wider crisis that is developing in culture as such due to a range of social, economic, technological and other factors. The article attempts to place design in the context of substitution processes that impact its dynamics, and to outline the key aspects of this historical transformation of design culture. The fact is that the category of the future itself has become the matter of substitution: the discourse of the future as such is simply not to be found in the society of today. Nowadays, design is installed in such a socio-cultural organism in which the future in its former futuristic meaning has been supplanted by mythologised images of the past.

Сегодня тема прогнозирования в моде приобрела известную неопределенность. Правомерно за- дать вопрос, о чем идет речь: о развитии зарубежной моды или о том, каким образом искусство и местная культура участвуют в развитии индустрии как таковой? Сегодняшнее состояние ди- зайна костюма, по мнению многих, воспринимается как расцвет возможностей и способностей петербургских мастеров. Каким же образом западная мода участвует в процессе развития отече- ственной?

Fashion forecasting has acquired a  degree of  uncertainty. One may legitimately question whether the issue is  the development of  foreign fashion or  the way art and local culture impact the development of fashion industry as such. Modern-day costume design is believed to offer Petersburg designers a wealth of  opportunities while uncovering their talents and skills. So  how does Western fashion foster the development of Russian fashion?

В числе основных проблем среды современных мегаполисов можно, в частности, назвать структур- ные и функциональные недостатки жилых комплексов эконом-класса. Особое внимание следует уделять вопросам видеоэкологии, связанным с геометрией архитектурных форм. В качестве аль- тернативы геометрической монотонности типовой застройки выступают концепции, основанные на применении фрактальной геометрии и принципов органической архитектуры. Разговор о них ведется в ряде зарубежных и отечественных источников, посвященных соответствующей методо- логии архитектурного и дизайнерского проектирования. Напрашивается вывод о перспективно- сти использования фрактальных структур в дизайне среды и градостроительстве.

The article deals with the main problems of the environment of modern large cities and megacities, most notably, the structural and functional deficiencies of affordable residential complexes. Particular attention is paid to the issues of videoecology related to the geometry of architectural forms. As an alternative to the geometric monotony of typical buildings, concepts based on fractal geometry and the principles of organic architecture are presented. A number of foreign and Russian sources devoted to the relevant methodology of architectural and design planning have been analysed. The article concludes with a discussion of how fractal structures can be used in environmental design and urban planning.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) offers diverse application support through monitoring, analysis, and recommendations. This application paradigm relies on sensitive internal and external data to meet user needs. This article introduces a secure data processing scheme for leveraging the IoMT application performance. This scheme is named Persuaded Data Processing with Digital Security (PDP-DS), ensuring user and data privacy. This scheme focuses on IoMT-aided remote monitoring application security where data openness is high and false data chances are high. During the application support, the blockchain concept is applied for data authentication. In this scheme, user-verified digital signatures are used for authentication. This scheme provides data processing recommendations based on the deep learning paradigm. This output is authenticated alone using a password/ PIN-based digital signature. The learning process identifies the processing required and security-filtered instances using the recursive states identified. The proposed scheme ensures fewer false data processing based on its attributes and recommendation factor. PDP-PS reduces the considered metrics to 9.95% (for process delay), 10.19% (for service delay), 10.6% (for replication factor), 10.44% (for false rate), and 7.39% (for backlogs).

The paper provides an extensive experimental analysis of an optimal PI controller for the two-tank system. The two-tank system is a benchmark hydrodynamic system. The PI controller has proportional action placed in a feedback path of the system, thus supporting aperiodic response of the system. The optimal PI controller tuning is based on transfer function of the system, and it minimizes surface between the error signal and the time axis. The choice of the minimization criterion is adequate as the system has aperiodic step response. The extensive experimental analysis is performed on the laboratory testbed to assess the performance of the optimally tuned PI controller when applied to the two-tank systems in step response tasks, reference tracking tasks, and disturbance rejection tasks. The results of the experiments verify the design procedure of the PI controller. The designed PI controller provides noticeable slow start of the system, thus forcing an actuator to operate on a border line of the dead zone for a significant period. To remedy the situation, a feedforward modification of the controller is proposed. Gain of the feedforward part is time varying. At the beginning of the system operation, it provides significant value of the control signal and safe start of the system. On the other hand, as time advances, the gain of the feedforward part vanishes to zero. Although the feedforward modification detunes optimal behavior of the system, it adds value to the operation of the system. Experimental analysis performed on the laboratory testbed verifies utilities introduced by the feedforward controller modification.
Un sexenio más de ecocidio: defensa del ambiente y los territorios en México
Authors: Velázquez Hernández Lucía
Published: December 2024

Resumen: En México, las personas defensoras del ambiente y del territorio frecuentemente son violentadas por un modelo económico que pondera las ganancias económicas sobre las razones sociales y ambientales. Esto ha derivado en el surgimiento de un mayor número de conflictos y de frentes ambientales originados por la defensa del territorio, los recursos naturales, los ecosistemas y las diversas formas de vida, frente a los intereses de grupos económicos y políticos. Quienes defienden su territorio y el derecho a un ambiente saludable están sufriendo agresiones en sus derechos fundamentales: a la vida y a la integridad y seguridad personales, violaciones que se hacen cada vez más frecuentes.

En México han sido asesinadas 261 personas que defendían el ambiente y los territorios en el período de 1995-2022, 133 de ellas en el último sexenio. Mediante una revisión documental, este artículo ofrece un panorama de dos procesos que se mantienen indisolublemente conectados en el caso de México: a) el notable incremento de los conflictos socioambientales y b) el aumento de la violencia ambiental, que se expresa por el número de víctimas registrado.

Palabras clave: conflictos ambientales, defensores ambientales, violencia ambiental, personas defensoras de derechos humanos.

Abstract: In Mexico, land and environmental defenders are frequently attacked from an economic model that priorities economic gains over social and environmental causes. This has derived into the surgency of a higher number of conflicts and environmental movements originated by territorial defense, natural resources, ecosystems and diverse ways of life against the interests of economic and political elites. People who defend their land and their right to a healthy environment are being attacked in their fundamental rights: the right to live, of personal integrity and security. Attacks which are becoming more frequent.

In Mexico, 261 environment and land defenders were murdered between 1995 and 2022. In the last sexennium, the lives of 122 male and 11 female land and environmental defenders were taken. This essay offers an overview of two fundamentally linked processes in the case of Mexico: a) the notable increment of socioenvironmental conflicts and b) the rise of environmental violence expressed by the number of fatal victims registered in the last years by a documental review. This for contributing to a scarcely analysed theme on the national scale in the recent literature.

Keywords: land and environmental defenders, environmental conflicts, environmental violence, human rights defenders.
Los ciclos de movilización contra la violencia extrativista en el archipiélago de Humboldt
Authors: Cárcamo Moreno Felipe
Published: December 2024

Resumen: Durante los últimos veintitrés años una de las zonas con mayor biodiversidad de Chile y del planeta, el archipiélago de Humboldt, ha estado rodeado de una permanente conflictividad socioambiental: la posible instalación de proyectos inmobiliarios (2001-2003), centrales termoeléctricas (2007-2011), megapuertos (2012-actualidad) y megaminería (2013-actualidad). En respuesta, ha emergido un movimiento ecoterritorial que ha tenido como protagonista a las y los alteractivistas. Son parte de una cultura militante que, a través de la individualización del compromiso, de prácticas cotidianas y su estrecha relación con las tecnologías digitales y la naturaleza, ha generado una alternativa centrada en el océano y alejada del extractivismo. Aprobada en 2023, el Área Marina Costera Protegida de Múltiples Usos (AMCP-MU) busca romper progresivamente el Antropoceno y las dinámicas extractivistas en el territorio.

Palabras clave: alteractivistas, alternativa, extractivismo, ciclos, archipiélago de Humboldt.

Abstract: Over the past 23 years, one of the most biodiverse areas in Chile and on the planet, the Humboldt Archipelago, has been surrounded by ongoing socio-environmental conflict. This conflict stems from potential real estate projects (2001-2003), thermoelectric power plants (2007-2011), mega-ports (2012-present), and large-scale mining (2013-present). In response, an ecoterritorial movement has emerged, with alter-activists at its forefront. These activists are part of a militant culture that, through individual commitment, daily practices, and close ties to digital technologies and nature, has generated an alternative centered around the ocean and distant from extractivism. Approved in 2023, the Coastal Marine Protected Area for Multiple Uses (AMCP-MU) aims to gradually break away from the Anthropocene and extractive dynamics in the territory.

Keywords: alter-activists, alternative, extractivism, cycles, Humboldt Archipelago.

This study aims to analyze the abundance of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) during the vegetative and generative growth phases of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) at the Botanical Garden of Solok Village, Muaro Jambi District. The type of research used is descriptive exploratory. The sampling technique was conducted using total sampling through hand collecting. Observations of whiteflies were made once a week for 12 weeks on 50 samples of eggplant planted in the experimental garden. Data analysis was performed by counting the number of whiteflies found on the eggplant during the vegetative and generative phases. The results showed that the abundance of whiteflies varied in each growth phase of the eggplant. In the vegetative phase, the highest abundance of whiteflies occurred in the fourth week after transplanting, with a total abundance of 576 individuals. Meanwhile, in the generative phase, the highest abundance occurred in the sixth week after transplanting, the lowest abundance occurred in the tenth week. The average abundance of whiteflies during the vegetative phase was 144 individuals, while in the generative phase it reached 250.64 individuals. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the abundance of whiteflies on eggplant is higher in the generative phase compared to the vegetative phase.

The trophic parameters of water bodies, especially the content of biogenic components, may have an impact on invertebrate communities, both those strictly aquatic and those using the water bodies periodically. Among this group, insects are highly relevant, the density of which can affect the attractiveness of the water body as foraging habitat of water-surface forager bats. The present paper presents the results of a study measuring the foraging activity of Myotis daubentonii (Kuhl, 1917) in linear transects over three water bodies: an oligotrophic, eutrophic, and dystrophic lake located within a 1.5 km radius. The research has a repeated measures design, with the consecutive surveys carried out in 1995, 1996, and 2001 in the lactation period (end of June–beginning of July) and in the post-lactation period (end of August–beginning of September). The activity of M. daubentonii over the oligotrophic lake varied between 0.0 and 15.9 ind/km, while over the eutrophic lake it was 3.9 and 16.7 ind/km, and over the dystrophic lake was 3.4 and 30.5 ind/km. The study found that the foraging activity above the dystrophic lake was almost twice as high (13.1 ± 6.11) as over the two others lakes: oligotrophic (6.0 ± 4.17) and eutrophic (8.0 ± 3.19). By contrast, in the case of M. daubentonii, there was no statistically significant difference in the foraging activity over either of the foraging areas (eutrophic and oligotrophic). The foraging activity in bats in the lactation period was higher than in the post-lactation period. Our results indicate that the differences in the foraging activity of the bats in the present study do not depend on the trophic status of the lake and are linked directly to opportunistic foraging strategy of the species. The higher foraging activity recorded over the small dystrophic lake may be explained by the isolation of this lake from adverse weather conditions (e.g. wind). Hence, the observed slow increase in the number of M. daubentonii over the past 20 years cannot be attributed to, as previously suggested, eutrophication, but, on the contrary, seems to be a result of a progressive improvement in the environment.
