The scientific goal is to explore (describe, understand and explain) socio-psychological aspects, i.e. the influence of sex, material status of the family, level of studies, success during studies and the type of study programs agency, on knowledge and attitudes towards the game, as a practice, of its meaning and functions, of motivation for gaming, and of propensity to games among students of social sciences and humanities at the University of Banja Luka and Istocno Sarajevo respectively (The Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina), in the 21st century. The definitions of the game and its significance and function are presented through the prism of modernist and postmodernist views, that is, sociological and psychological theories about the game. Motivation for participation in games is elaborated by means of the theory of self-determination, and the connection between motivation and inclination towards endless and final games is explained by Habermas' theory of communicative action. In addition to general scientific methods, a survey method is used to collect data using an online questionnaire (with a semi-closed answer system), an instrument created through the Google Forms application. Measurement, typology, and statistical method (processing of data by SPSS), along with a comparative method for interpretation of results, are used for arranging and presenting data. The sample formed is random and stratified, consisting of 221 examinees from the student population. With regard to the initial three hypotheses, two of them are fully confirmed, while the third one is only partially confirmed, with scientific description, scientific understanding, and scientific explanation having been realised in the former, the latter featuring only scientific description. The results indicate that most students: 1) have an excellent knowledge (familiarity) and positive (postmodernist) attitudes towards the game, its importance, and functions; 2) participate in the game for intrinsic motives, because they come from CRSP, in order to connect and communicate with others, so the socialiser's motive is the most dominant one; 3) participate in endless (affiliative, assertive) games. So it is encouraging that their awareness of and their being informed on the matter are at a very high level, that is, in the spirit of postmodernist discourse on the developmental potentials of the game for effective applications in a wide range of activities, especially in terms of life-long learning. Hence, we point out the importance of recognising and applying the principles of the game in higher education, more precisely the innovation of (electronic) game-based learning (gamification).
A CASE STUDY ON MIGRATING THE LAB ACTIVITIES ONLINE - STUDENTS' AND PROFESSORS' PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Nicolae Maximilian , Pietraru Radu , Barbu Andrei , Tivga Andrei
Published: February 2023

The laboratory activities for an undergraduate course on digital design are normally developed around a physical platform. After the COVID19 prevention measures were established the activities had to move online, thus, the professors had to find some rapid solutions to preserve the initial goals of the laboratory. This article discusses the goals of such laboratory (in relation to the broad engineering domain), how are these goals fulfilled by a physical platform and what was the online solution that was developed to overcome the challenges. Furthermore, the opinions of students that were attending the both types of activities (physical and online) are presented.
There could be many debates on the difference between higher education in engineering and professional technical education, or between teaching fundamentals and "quick fix" solutions. On the other hand, "more" doesn't necessarily mean "better".
Our paper focuses more on so called "common sense" evaluation of the benefits that practice during labs would provide to participants (both students and teachers).
We conclude that laboratory activities in engineering can not take place exclusively online or in simulation because of the lack of developing the "feeling" for the real processes that the future engineer will encounter in their life. However, nowadays it is very simple and cheap to acquire devices and equipment to build some lab infrastructure at students' "rooms". We believe that the approach that we present in this paper (with adaptation to other fields of engineering) could lead to a form of laboratory activities that are more suitable to the general context and needs of the today's society.
THE LEARNERS' SATISFACTION REGARDING ASYNCHRONOUS E-LEARNING SYSTEMS. ANALYSIS OF THE ELS SCALE IN THE CASE OF A TECH UNDERGRADUATE SAMPLE
Authors: Balgiu Beatrice adriana , Simionescupanait Andrei , Cotoara Daniela maricica
Published: February 2023

Aim: The 2020 pandemic motivated the appearance and usage of many e-learning platforms. Despite this boom, the academic medium hosts very few research articles analyzing the user's satisfaction with e-learning systems. This study meets the challenge and evaluates the satisfaction that asynchronous e-learning systems generate in their end-users. The evaluation is done by using the ELS (e-learner satisfaction) scale. This scale contains four factors: Learner interface, Learning community, Content of the system, and Personalization.
Method: 394 tech undergrads (Mage = 19,27; S.D. = 0.65; 132 females and 262 males) participated in this study. They responded in both physical and digital mediums. The study used the Maximum Likelihood - Exploratory Factor Analysis (including Varimax rotation) statistical model for 39% of the subjects and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis model for 61% of the subjects. The study also used descriptive and correlational analyses.
Results show that the number of factors remains rather constant when reducing items and that it explains 62,83% of the scale's total variation, given the scale's Romanian version and that is it used in a different cultural setting than that for which the ELS was initially created. The Personalization factor is split into items that influence the Content factor and items which do not. The new Romanian version scale showcases useful psychometric properties (??/df = 2,09; GFI =0,92; CFI = 0,95; RMSEA = 0,058; SRMR=0.0512). The internal consistency for the newly obtained subscales is adequate, given that it displays Cronbach's ? factors with values between 0,73 and 0,82. The Cronbach's ? total scale value is 0.87 (CI95% - 0,85-0,89). Out of 16 items, 15 have a corrected item-to-total correlation factor of over 0,52. The last item has a corrected item for a total correlation factor of 0,48.
Conclusion: E-learner satisfaction scale is a valid instrument for the Romanian context.
THE EFFICIENCY OF USING E-LEARNING IN HEALTH INFORMATION AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS
Authors: Cioba Beatrice
Published: February 2023

Numerous information and education campaigns have been carried out in recent decades with the aim of encouraging the public to adopt certain behaviors or to give up habits that are harmful to health. Most campaigns use multiple message delivery channels: various forms of media, social networks and communities, promotional events, product distribution etc. The inclusion of online interventions in the strategic plan of the campaigns is determined by the high rate of coverage, the possibility of developing interactive approaches and last, but not least, the profitability. Efforts to capitalize on the potential of online platforms have, in recent years, determined to use e-learning techniques and tools not only for training the staff involved in the design and implementation of interventions, but also to educate the target audience.
The proposed analysis aims to assess the ways and the extent to which specific e-learning tools can be used for enhancing the impact of the campaigns with the intention to encourage voluntary change in health behaviours.
For achieving this aim the study will be based on the analysis of ten campaigns carried out in recent years and for whose impact were performed assessments. The research questions we tried to find answers for are:
-what are the most effective e-learning techniques that can contribute to raise public awareness towards general health issues?
-how could these techniques be designed so that they can match the characteristics of different categories of audiences?
-what are the best ways to integrate e-learning into the overall landscape of a health information and education campaign components?
The identification of the campaigns included in the study was done by exploring four databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. For this study I chose 10 campaigns implemented in Europe and North America, campaigns which used e-learning as a method of transmitting information, of building learning communities and of educating the public.
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS IN FOOTWEAR ENGINEERING
Authors: Seul Arina , Mihai Aura , Curteza Antonela , Costea Mariana
Published: February 2023

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method widely used in industry, research, and education fields. FEA exploits the properties and dimensions of the model discretised in a series of small regions called finite elements linked together at specific points which are called nodes. This paper demonstrates how the FEA could be used in footwear engineering education as a sustainable tool to predict the designed product's behaviour before its manufacturing. FEA-based simulations have substantial potential in footwear engineering training and education as it allows the students/designer performing static and dynamic analyses to represent the interaction between ground-sole-footwear-foot by analysing the shoe's design parameters' effects on the foot's load transfer. Based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) principles, a methodology for investigating footwear behaviour during normal walking is proposed, including preparatory, pre-processing, analysis, and post-processing stages needed to perform an FEA simulation. This part of the study explains the preparing and pre-processing steps: choosing equipment and software and performing the simulation by modelling and editing the geometry, explaining the role of materials and defining their properties. The pre-processing stages presented in this paper are essential for preparing the simulation process. The 3D geometry and materials influence the accuracy of the FE model and improve the analysis efficiency in engineering applications. Three models of the same constructive type, namely Derby shoe, show the herby described procedure. For these three models, the bar stitch's position varies in a vertical direction, and the material's properties are specified: foot, sole, uppers and bar stitch.

Published: February 2023

In the current context, performance sports are evolving more and more rapidly, with the advent of physical effort monitoring equipment and software. The control and monitoring of the effort as accurately as possible requires a close management in order to ensure the achievement of the objectives and implicitly the achievement of high level performances. Therefore, the current trend in physical training and not only, is to use minimalist, ultraportable devices and software that provide us with real-time information to be able to intervene in a timely manner. The Catapul GPS system is one of the most complex systems in the world, for monitoring sports activity both outdoors and indoors. This paper aims to highlight the advantages of using this system in sports activities by providing real-time data such as DIST - Total Distance, D/MIN - Distance Per Min, MAX SPD - Max Speed, DIST Z5 - Distance Z5, DIST Z6 - Distance Z6, HSR - High Speed Running, HSR/MIN -High Speed Running per Min, HMLD - High Metabolic Load Distance, HMLD/MIN - High Metabolic Load per Min, NO. OF SPR - Number of Sprints, SPR DIST - Sprint Distance, SI - Speed Intensity, ACC - Accelerations, DEC - Decelerations, AMP - Average Metabolic Power,EMD - Equivalent Metabolic Distance, MAX HR - Max Heart Rate, HR EXERTION - Heart Rate Exertion, AVG HR - Average HR, TRZ - Time In Red Zone, IMP - Impacts, DSL - Dynamic Stress Load, Z5 ENT - Z5 Entry, Z6 ENT - Z6 Entry, FI - Fatigue Index, SB L/R - Step Balance Left/Right. In this research we focused on a study in which we monitored the parameters specified above in the context of a test of aerobic endurance - the bronco protocol for a timely and objective assessment of rugby players.
" TEACH ME PHOTOGRAPHY, ROBOT." A CASE STUDY REGARDING VISUAL EDUCATION
Authors: Strava Salomea , Tecu Cristian , Onita Mihai
Published: February 2023

Visual arts-mediated education and training are inherent to the learning process irrespective of its traditional, digital, or hybrid formats. Photography entails creative functions while the image creator implicitly needs to be enabled through training to produce compositions that observe communication rules while simultaneously breaking wittingly the same rules. The current paper identifies quality criteria underlying highly rated photographs and features an artistic composition-based section. The main factors that influence the composition are the rule of thirds (division, point of interest), repetition (frequency, constant, resumption), symmetry (weight, variety, middle), HSL (Hue, Saturation, Brightness), empty space, use of background (subtle, main, flattening), balance (harmony, chromatic, unity), hierarchy (focus, eye direction). Many masterpieces are consciously eluding the above rules. The images are rioting against the mundanity and impersonal. The photographic composition escapes from the templates shown above, the images arouse the viewer, who needs a "key" to decipher them. This kind of visual approach has a semantic load that raises it above the fast-comprehension photo if the viewer makes the effort to accept and decipher it. The suggested artistic compositions are manually segmented into areas of interest (objects, lines, characters, etc.) accompanied by well-articulated interpretations, as they are perceived by a visual arts connoisseur. Furthermore, the authors describe sets of image data currently used in the automated assessment of image quality: IDEA, Painting-91, SCUT-FBP5500, Waterloo IAA, IAD, AVA, GPD, FACD, NU FOOD, CUHKPO, BAM, NNID. The paper is simultaneously a starting point for a subsequent set of high-quality photographs and an adequate learning resource for fields of study such as multimedia, arts, and social media.
Biological hazards at the nurse's workplace
Authors: Tomaszewska Katarzyna , Kisiel Renata
Published: February 2023

Occupational exposure to blood is a significant problem among health care workers. Nurses are a group that is particularly at risk. Exposure can lead to HBV, HCV or HIV infection. Extremely important for preventing exposures is improving knowledge of medical personnel about consequences of being infected by bloodborne pathogens, preventive measures and advantages of using those measures, and especially about post-exposure proceedings.
The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and opinions of nurses employed in anesthesiology and intensive care wards on occupational exposure and post-exposure management.
Material and methods: A diagnostic survey method was employed for the research using author’s questionnaire. The study included 117 nurses working in the anesthesiology and intensive care units. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the descriptive statistics method. During the statistical verification p<0.05 was assumed as the level of significance of the obtained results.
Results and conclusions: The level of knowledge and opinions of the surveyed nurses were not dependent on sociodemographic factors. Nurses use personal protective equipment and know post-exposure procedure, but don’t always follow it. Training doesn’t reduce the number of exposure cases. The most common mechanism of exposure is needle-stick injury.
Transformations of Social Control in Pandemic Times – Reasons for Hope Beyond Science: Editorial
Authors: Belmonte Miguel Angel
Published: February 2023

Postmodernity has brought new forms of social control which are exercised through new forms of communication. Paradoxically, however, postmodernity also seemed to be heading towards the exaltation of the individual in their absolute freedom. The 20th century pushed, in the name of science and progress, the secularization of Western societies, often distancing people from their traditional community ties, including ties to the ecclesial community. Thus, the postmodern individual initially appeared free of ancestral community pressures. However, subtle new forms of social control have replaced traditional ones. Mechanisms such as social media, new forms of work and sexual exploitation, or the impossibility of maintaining privacy in the face of the power of private and public corporations, thus expose the individual to the asocial elements. Frequently, these new social control mechanisms (a clear example being the leadership of the WHO in the policies implemented worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic) are presented to us not as repressive, but scientifically and paternally protective. In this context, the vindication of religious freedom and the community experience of faith represent decisive touchstones for the vitality and validity of a social and political order in which the personal being is truly the highest value.
The authors of this monograph are professors, some of them with twenty or thirty years of university teaching, others halfway between Generation X and Y, but all with a deep vocation as teachers called to understanding the world around them. A vocation to collaborate with their students so that the seed of love for the knowledge of reality and the joyful experience of contact with the truth may bear fruit in them. Such an experience only makes sense as a shared experience. And this is what the authors of this monograph usually do: share their concerns, worries, and research. In formal terms, this shared experience has been developing in recent times under the mantle of research projects such as the one that forms the basis of this issue of Scientia et Fides: “Social Control, Postmodernism and Political Community” (COSOPOC). Sharing the results of their research is also a way of inviting the specialized public to this experience without forgetting that the first circle of this community work is formed by the students themselves, whom this monograph aims to serve as a stimulus in their personal trajectories as students, as future professionals and, above all, as people in charge of their actions and responsible and capable of facing the worrying challenges that face us all.

Against All Odds. Po co Rosji Ukraina?
Authors: Czajkowski Marek
Published: February 2023

This chapter tackles mainly political issues referring to the origins of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We argue that its primary cause is the longstanding perception of threat among Russian authorities, elites and society, exploited and manipulated by the self-serving government. The false assumptions regarding Russian military capabilities versus Ukraine and Western resolve were also essential factors in the Kremlin’s decision to attack Ukraine. Likely inability of both sides to prevail decisively on the battlefield will preclude a quick resolution of the conflict.

Fake News and Democracy in Latin America
Authors: Hernández Sandra Bonnie Flórez , Herrera Maria Susana Marlés
Published: February 2023

Diverse territories of Latin America are immersed in important situations today. The region is not only facing shortages, inequities, and inequalities a large part of the population has to live with, but also constant information, disinformation and fake news that permeate their minds and erode their freedom of decision and action in democratic processes. The scenario they are going through calls for a deep shake from its foundations, given the discourse of knowledge beyond a robust wave of information, coming from unusual sources, some of them disrupting the effort to ascertain the truth of the facts and being apparently at the service of economic and/or political hegemonies. This text proposes a comprehensive approach to fake news and the scope of influence they have on individual freedom with repercussions on the weak Latin American democracy.

ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR’S GOVERNMENT AND ANTI‑ IMMIGRATION POLICY
In this article we propose to address and analyse some actions related to migration in the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), Mexico’s president‑elect in 2018. The United States’ migration containment policies make use of the submission of countries such as Mexico and Guatemala, in a process known as border externalisation. The main containment wall is Mexico, which uses its two borders as militarised spaces to stop flows, especially from Central America, from reaching the United States. Throughout the text we will discuss the necropolitics associated with the practices of death and the selective policies towards the migrant population.

Nuevos habitantes en antiguas periferias urbanas: movilidad residencial y cambios urbanos en la zona del Restrepo en Bogotá
Authors: Camargo Angélica
Published: February 2023

La zona del Restrepo en Bogotá es considerada una antigua periferia urbana, si bien su desa­rrollo inicia hacia los años treinta, hoy en día se ubica entre el pericentro y la periferia actual, en una localización estratégica en términos relativos con respecto a la ciudad. Al igual que en otras ciudades de América Latina, estas zonas se constituyen en territorios en transformación con recomposiciones muy importantes, aunque relativamente poco estudiadas en relación con las periferias populares y los centros históricos. En este artículo se presenta un análisis de los vínculos entre las trayectorias de movilidad residencial de los habitantes, sus decisiones de lo­calización y las transformaciones urbanas, particularmente del stock habitacional construido en los últimos 20 años. Se utilizaron un conjunto de entrevistas realizadas a habitantes de los edificios construidos recientemente y algunos representantes de empresas constructoras de la zona. Se concluye que las transformaciones recientes del stock habitacional se asocian con las diversas trayectorias residenciales y sociales de sus habitantes, pero que en general tienden a ser ascendentes por lo que podrían presionar cambios socioespaciales importantes. El artículo contribuye a comprender los vínculos entre la movilidad residencial y los cambios urbanos y aporta conocimiento sobre las transformaciones de las antiguas periferias urbanas.

Published: February 2023

The spread of the COVID-19 virus is challenging society to provide medical care to a growing number of patients in the hospital. It is important to determine the patient from whom an urgent appeal was received earlier and to automate the creation of the calls’ queue. Determining the direction of the sound source, which is the patient’s voice, can be realized using the passive acoustic location method. In this case, it is necessary to place sound sensors in the wards with patients. In such a case, these sensors it is expedient to build in the lighting equipment executed in the shape of Platonic polyhedra. The microcontroller system, located inside such a spatial structure, ensures the transmission of sound to a server computer system. The above system alternately records the receipt of urgent appeals, analyzes the location of the sound source, and sends the relevant data to the doctor’s smartphone. The mobile application visualizes information about the location of the patients who need consultation or help. The proposed solution for intelligent analysis of voice appeals by inpatients may also be useful for post-stroke, post-infarction, and other bedridden patients who are unable to call medical staff otherwise than a voice.
Novel Deep Learning Approach to Support Optimal Resource Allocation in 5G Environment
Authors: Pamba Raja Varma , Bhandari Rahul , Asha A. , Neware Rahul , Bist Ankur Singh
Published: February 2023

In recent times, the advancement in network devices has focused entirely on the miniaturisation of services that should ensure better connectivity between them via fifth generation (5G) technology. The 5G network communication aims to improve Quality of Service (QoS). However, the allocation of resources is a core problem that increases the complexity of packet scheduling. In this paper, we develop a resource allocation model using a novel deep learning algorithm for optimal resource allocation. The novel deep learning is formulated using the constraints associated with optimal radio resource allocation. The objective function design aims at reducing the system delay. The study predicts the traffic in a complex environment and allocates resources accordingly. The simulation was conducted to test the scheduling efficacy and the results showed an improved rate of allocation than the other methods.
Multi-Class Classification Method with Feature Engineering for Predicting Hypertension with Diabetes
Authors: Sinsirimongkhon Mongkhon , Arwatchananukul Sujitra , Temdee Punnarumol
Published: February 2023

Machine learning–based methods are widely applied for the prediction of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. However, few models have been developed for predicting hypertension with diabetes, even though these diseases generally co-occur and can cause devastating harm to patients. This paper proposes a multi-class classification method that will be able to predict hypertension with diabetes. The proposed method consists of data preprocessing, model construction and validation, and model comparison. For data preprocessing, feature engineering of corresponding data types is conducted. For model construction, several machine learning methods are applied, including Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), Extra Tree (ET), Decision Tree (DCT), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The dataset used in this study consists of 17,077 records and 28 features, obtained from Phaya Mengrai Hospital, Chiang Rai, Thailand. The predictive performance of each model with and without feature engineering is compared in terms of accuracy and average area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). From the comparison results, SVM with feature engineering outperformed other models based on accuracy and average AUC-ROC achieving a value of 88.39% and 93.32%, respectively. For all ensemble learning–based methods, RF performed the best in terms of both accuracy and average AUC-ROC for both with and without feature engineering. Overall, all the models performed better when feature engineering was applied.

Abstract. Genetic diversity information of Gobiidae is needed as a basis for management of its culture or conservation efforts. Mean while, the stability development of the paired organs in animals is closely related to the level of their genetic diversity. In this regard, a study has been conducted to determine of bilateral symmetry characteristics of marble gobies from Jenderal Soedirman reservoir of Banjarnegara and Rawapening Swamp of Salatiga. A survey method was used with purposive sampling technique. The observed variables were abnormalities and meristic bilateral characters. The characters including the number of soft rays on pectoral fins and pelvic fins, and the number of scales on lateral lines. The results showed that both marble gobies from Jenderal Soedirman Reservoir and Rawapening Swamp did not show abnormalities. However, their bilateral meristic characters had been fluctuated, especially for pectoral fins and lateral lines; whereas pelvic fins seem to be symmetry. According to their observed bilateral symmetry characters, in general, it could be concluded that marble gobies from Jenderal Soedirman Reservoir had a better genetic diversity compare to those from Rawapening Swamp. Therefore, it can be used as local genetic resources.Key words. Bilateral symmetry character, marbel gobies, Jenderal Soedirman Reservoirs, Rawa pening Swamp

Abstract. The objective of present study was to evaluate the possibility of  papaya’s latex (Carica papaya) as anti stress or larvaside for tiger shrimp (Panaeus monodon) post larvae Pl 14-30 during transportation. The tiger shrimp post larvae was collected from BBAP Ujung Batee, Aceh Besar on September, 2012. Reseach method used the completely random design with two factors, density of post larvae with three treatments (1000; 1500 dan 2000 ind/l) and concentration of papaya’s latex with four treatments (0; 100; 200 dan 300 ppm) and three replications for each treatments. The effect of papaya’s latex on tiger shrimp post larvae was observed by calculating the percentage of post larvae’s survival rate. The calculation was only done after twelve hours of transportation, due to the everage of survival rate percentage of post larvae on all levels of density was less than 50%.  The ANOVA test showed that  the density and the concentration factors gave significance effect on survival rate of tiger shrimp post larvae (P0,05). The results showed that survival rate of tiger shrimp post larvae (PL 14-30) were decreased with increasing of larvae density and concentration of papaya’s latex.  However, Duncan’s test showed that the highest survival rate was obtained at 1.000 ind/l  and 0 ppm of papaya’s latex. Hence, the effect of papaya’s latex concentration treatments in this study was larvaside on tiger shrimp post larvae.Key words: Closed transportation system, dissolved oxygen, enzyme papain, tiger shrimp post larvae.
