Published: September 2024

Synthetic graphite is a key component in the production of lithium ion (Li-Ion)
battery anodes. This paper describes how domestically produced mesophase pitch
is synthesized, graphitized, spheronized and made into battery anodes. Results
will show that batteries have been made having high specific capacities, record
breaking tap densities and surface areas, and low Irreversible Capacity Losses
(ICL). Additionally, we will also show the performance advantages of using an
isotropic pitch coating as the Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) and provide an
example where doping synthetic graphite with silicon nanoparticles boosted the
specific capacity above the theoretical value for graphite alone.
TERMINOLOGICAL SYSTEM OF EDUCATIONAL WORK IN HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Ponomarova Halyna
Published: September 2024

The article traces the relationship between teaching and upbringing in the educational process of higher education. The analysis of the definition of ‘learning’ allows us to identify its most essential features, in particular: purposefulness and systematicity, bilateral nature, focus on the formation of knowledge, skills and abilities. At the same time, the author emphasises the importance of the educational aspect of education, which is also its essential feature. A thorough analysis of key concepts related to the research problem is carried out, in particular: education, system, pedagogical system. Different views of scientists on the definition of ‘education’ emphasise the practical complexity and versatility of this phenomenon: education can be studied as a social phenomenon, activity, process, value, interaction, socialisation, etc. The author defines a system as an integral complex of interconnected elements that constitutes a special unity, a certain relationship with the environment; it is an element of a higher order system, and often individual elements themselves can be subsystems in relation to the overall system. To understand the essence of the concept of ‘system’, it is necessary to take into account its features: objectivity; materiality; variety of level connections and variants of relations; reciprocity of connections in the context of integrity. The pedagogical system is in fact an ordered set of interrelated components (goals, content, methods, means and organisational forms of teaching, upbringing and development) that characterise in the most general, invariant (for different subsystems of education) form all the components of pedagogical activity in certain social conditions. The article is of theoretical value for researchers, teachers and administrators of higher education institutions, as it offers clear guidelines for planning and implementing educational work aimed at the harmonious development of future teachers.

The article is devoted to the problem of using sociolinguistic methods in the study of communicative situations. In the article, the author refers to the theoretical basis of the study of sociolinguistic parameters of the assessment category, which is treated within the framework of the communicative scheme «subject-object-basis» It is emphasized that the selection of verbalizers of axiological value depends on the socio-cultural positioning of participants in the communication situation, so the assessment in the means of expression can vary within the sociolinguistic variable. The dialogical nature of the language is realized within the language-speech dyad. Discourse should be understood as a phenomenon of the modern communicative environment and the result of speech-communicative activity, the essence of which is heterogeneous, because at the same time it appeals to verbal and non-verbal components. Discourse is a means of social interaction through which information is exchanged. Since the nature of the phenomenon of discourse is quite difficult to understand, there are a number of definitions of this concept and variants of its typologization. Therefore, it is appropriate to use a comprehensive approach to analyze discourse, which consists in studying both the verbal components of this communicative formation and the pragmatic features of its formation. The theory of language communication, synthesizing views on language as a complex information-communicative system and means of cognition, considers verbal communication in a dynamic aspect. Therefore, communicative activity, in particular in critical discourse, is defined as the interaction of personalities and groups of personalities, within which there is an exchange of activities, information, experience, abilities. At the same time, it is important that the social characteristics of communicants influence the choice of the topic of communication, language means of achieving the communicative goal. This problem is included in the range of issues developed by sociolinguistics.

In the article, the author analyzes and clarifies the conceptual and terminological apparatus of the study of information competence formation of future primary school teachers in the process of professional training. It has been determined that the essence of the concept of «professional training of future primary school teachers» should be understood as an integral pedagogical system, the functioning of which involves creating conditions for the development of the future teacher's personality on the basis of mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for pedagogical activity, development of professional and personally significant qualities that will ensure maximum efficiency of their pedagogical activity. In the context of scientific research, it has been found that the key concept of «information competence of a future primary school teacher» should be understood as a systemic quality of a personality that reflects the theoretical and practical ability of a future primary school teacher to use the information and communication technologies in the process of implementing teaching methods for students of the first level of complete general secondary education, and self-education. The content of the structural components of information competence of future primary school teachers is specified, namely information-cognitive, information-methodical, information-computer and psycho-pedagogical professionally important qualities of future teachers. In order to maximize efficiency of the process of forming information competence of future primary school teachers, a microdidactic complex method of organizing information assimilation by future primary school teachers is offered, which, at reproductive, productive and creative levels of complexity, allows for professional training of students at pedagogical higher education establishments.

The article is devoted to the system of adaptive management in general secondary education in terms of adaptive management of the quality of senior pupils' learning achievements in the subjects of the artistic and aesthetic cycle. It has been found that today the adaptive management of the quality of senior pupils' learning achievements in the subjects of the artistic and aesthetic cycle is little studied, since scientific research does not take into account the specifics of the educational process and relevant subjects when working with adolescents and managing an institution. The author understands adaptive management in the system of general secondary education as a purposeful, systematic management based on open interaction of participants in the management process and aimed at achieving the final result in an unstable situation. It has been found that the essence of adaptive management is the coordinated actions of the manager and performers through mutual adjustment of their goals, combination of target functions, creation of conditions for achieving the programmed tasks in a natural way. The functions of adaptive management are defined: joint development of a realistic goal, criterion modelling, cooperation of actions and self-direction, self-monitoring of the process and monitoring by results, predictive regulation. The regularities and principles of adaptive management are highlighted, the understanding of which contributes to a thorough understanding of the essence of adaptive management of the quality of senior pupils' learning achievements in the subjects of the artistic and aesthetic cycle.

“La saña de María” en los Milagros de Nuestra Señora
Authors: Baños Vallejo Fernando
Published: September 2024

Sabemos que el castigo, en oposición al premio, es uno de los polos sobre los que se estructura la narrativa de los Milagros de Nuestra Señora, de Gonzalo de Berceo, un texto que está en el centro del canon de la literatura espiritual. El objeto del presente estudio, nunca antes planteado, es analizar las modalidades del castigo en esta obra, en relación con las ideas de venganza y de justicias divina y humana, y por tanto con la ira divina, la ira regia y la ley del talión. Para ello me baso en la bibliografía sobre la venganza y el castigo en otros ámbitos textuales, lo que permite proponer una clasificación del castigo en seis tipos: profecía de maldición, amenaza, castigo indirecto, perdón (tras el castigo o la penitencia), incitación al castigo y castigo directo. Además, se comprueba que las intervenciones de María modulan los principios de las justicias divina y humana, sin llegar a invalidarlos. Este estudio pone de relieve también que la posición de castigo y saña no es en la Virgen la última ni la definitiva, sino que quienes la han traicionado, si se arrepienten, acaban beneficiándose de la piedad de María.

Don Juan Rodríguez de Fonseca, obispo, representante diplomático, político habilidoso y amante de las bellas artes, fue uno de los personajes más atractivos y singulares de finales del siglo XV y comienzos del XVI. De elevado gusto y fina sensibilidad hacia los productos artísticos, el prelado poseyó una de las series de tapices más ambiciosa y reproducida de la época, la Historia de la Redención del Hombre. La colección, repartida hoy día entre la Catedral de Palencia, la Catedral de Burgos, y el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York, destaca tanto por sus cualidades artísticas como por el contenido retórico de su iconografía, al transmitir, a través de esta historia bíblica, valores y enseñanzas que contribuyeron a reforzar la memoria simbólica del poder. Esta serie se convirtió en uno de los conjuntos más habituales en las colecciones reales y eclesiásticas de las primeras dos décadas del siglo XVI, con múltiples ediciones dispersas por el mundo. Por desgracia, nuestra gran colección fue vendida en parte, lo que supuso una pérdida irreparable para el patrimonio artístico español.

Breaking Ground: A New Area Record for Low-Latency First-Order Masked SHA-3
Authors: Zhao Cankun , Zhao Hang , Liu Jiangxue , Yang Bohan , Zhu Wenping , Yin Shuying , Zhu Min , Wei Shaojun , Liu Leibo
Published: September 2024

SHA-3, the latest hash standard from NIST, is utilized by numerous cryptographic algorithms to handle sensitive information. Consequently, SHA-3 has become a prime target for side-channel attacks, with numerous studies demonstrating successful breaches in unprotected implementations. Masking, a countermeasure capable of providing theoretical security, has been explored in various studies to protect SHA-3. However, masking for hardware implementations may significantly increase area costs and introduce additional delays, substantially impacting the speed and area of higher-level algorithms. In particular, current low-latency first-order masked SHA-3 hardware implementations require more than four times the area of unprotected implementations. To date, the specific structure of SHA-3 has not been thoroughly analyzed for exploitation in the context of masking design, leading to difficulties in minimizing the associated area costs using existing methods. We bridge this gap by conducting detailed leakage path and data dependency analyses on two-share masked SHA-3 implementations. Based on these analyses, we propose a compact and low-latency first-order SHA-3 masked hardware implementation, requiring only three times the area of unprotected implementations and almost no fresh random number demand. We also present a complete theoretical security proof for the proposed implementation in the glitch+register-transition-robust probing model. Additionally, we conduct leakage detection experiments using PROLEAD, TVLA and VerMI to complement the theoretical evidence. Compared to state-of-theart designs, our implementation achieves a 28% reduction in area consumption. Our design can be integrated into first-order implementations of higher-level cryptographic algorithms, contributing to a reduction in overall area costs.
TRNG Entropy Model in the Presence of Flicker FM Noise
Authors: Peetermans Adriaan , Verbauwhede Ingrid
Published: September 2024

Flicker Frequency Modulated (FM) noise, which influences free-running Ring Oscillators (ROs), can make a substantial contribution to the entropy generated by RO-based True Random Number Generators (TRNGs). While current TRNG stochastic models predominantly concentrate on white FM noise, the addition of flicker FM noise could remarkably enrich the analysis of the TRNG entropy production rate. This paper introduces an entropy model for TRNGs, employing Gaussian processes, to estimate entropy generation from both white FM and flicker FM noise. We analytically derive the flicker FM noise Auto-Correlation Function (ACF), enabling assessment of entropy contributions conditioned on partial knowledge of the TRNG’s internal state. Utilizing the developed model with commonly reported noise magnitudes found in literature, it is determined that flicker FM noise holds the potential to substantially enhance the TRNG’s entropy rate. However, due to considerable variation in reported magnitudes across limited available research on flicker FM noise, it cannot yet be universally accepted as a dependable source of TRNG entropy.
“For Us, Bühne is Everything that has an Audience.”
Authors: Yazdanpanah Marie-Noelle
Published: September 2024

In the 1920s in particular, the illustrated Die Bühne magazine claimed to appeal to “everyone” and to be a stage (=Bühne) for the widest possible readership. With an eye on international developments, it offered a mix of topics—from modern theatre, revue and mass media, to sport, the new body culture and leisure activities—and propagated a modern lifestyle overall. The article explores how the slogan “For us, Bühne is everything that has an audience”, proclaimed in the first issue in 1924, manifested itself and its attitude towards mass arts over the years. The editors are examined as well as the intended and actual readers, with a focus on the various strategies used to attract and involve readers and to keep them loyal to the Die Bühne as a product. The provided role models were largely middle class. However, the content indicated that the magazine wanted to appeal to a cross-milieu and thus to a more diverse readership than the promoted lifestyle, consumer products and trendy places may suggest at first glance. At the same time, “everyone” refers to mass or the masses, which is most frequently expressed in articles on leisure culture and in relation to (theatre) audiences. I analyse the contexts and times when this topos is used positively—e.g., in the sense of active, idiosyncratic audiences—and when mass stands for the superficial or the ordinary. The question of the masses is explored in two ways: firstly, as the popular approach of addressing everyone and promoting mass arts, and secondly, as the depiction and representation of various aspects of the masses.

Motor Development of Very Low Birthweight Infants with Chronic Lung Disease – A Comparative Study
Authors: Yeo CL , Chan C
Published: September 2024

Introduction: To determine whether chronic lung disease (CLD) influences specific aspects of motor development in infancy.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine very low birthweight infants with CLD at 36 weeks’ post-conceptional age and 31 infants without CLD were evaluated at 8 months’ and 24 months’ corrected age using the Neurosensory Motor Development Assessment. Perinatal and neonatal characteristics of the infants with CLD and control infants were compared using the chi-square test for categorical variables and Student’s t-test for continuous variables. The relationship between CLD and adverse outcome was measured by the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: The overall developmental scores of the CLD infants were significantly different compared with control infants at 8 months. By 2 years of age, both groups of infants showed marked improvement in motor performance. However, differences persisted in the area of postural balance and sensory motor skills. Taking periventricular haemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia into consideration, CLD contributed significantly to the occurrence of motor dysfunction at 8 months of age [odds ratio (OR), 7.4; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.1 to 26.5]. The impact of CLD on motor development remained substantial, though not statistically significant (OR, 3.7; 95% CI, 0.4 to 37.9) at 2 years of age.

Conclusion: CLD has a definite effect on motor development. The pathologic influence of CLD on motor development remains speculative but results of this study emphasise the need for careful neurodevelopmental follow-up of infants with CLD, whether or not these infants suffer intraventricular haemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia.
Post-poliomyelitis Syndrome: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Lin KH , Lim YW
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Postpoliomyelitis syndrome (PPS) refers to the new neuromuscular symptoms that occur in patients years after their acute poliomyelitis has stabilised. PPS cases seen now are probably related to the poliomyelitis epidemics of the 1940s and 1950s.

Clinical Picture and Investigation: A 57-year-old Chinese man with a history of poliomyelitis affecting both lower limbs presented with left upper limb weakness. Physical examination revealed atrophy of his left upper limb muscles. There were fasciculations in the biceps and brachioradialis muscles. Electromyography revealed ongoing denervation neurogenic units in the C5 to TI myotomes comparable with PPS.

Conclusion: The aim of this paper is to review the present situation and to give a short summary of PPS, which can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms of presentation are usually non-specific. We describe a case of PPS and review the current literature.
Odmeravanje kazne i generalna prevencija
Authors:   University of Belgrade Faculty of Law, Stojanović Zoran
Published: September 2024

The paper deals with the question of whether it is necessary and justified for general preventive expectations to be the immediate basis for sentencing. General prevention (deterrence) should be achieved primarily if not exclusively when prescribing the punishment. The application of criminal law and punishment should demonstrate that the threat of punishment is serious. However, it is not necessary to determine what measure of punishment is needed in a specific case in order to influence others not to commit criminal acts. It is not even possible to determine exactly, but a general assessment is sufficient, i.e. the court's impression that with a measured punishment, general prevention can be achieved, both negative (traditional) and positive, which consists in expressing social condemnation for a criminal offense, strengthening moral and strengthening the obligation to respect the law. It is sufficient for the court to determine the punishment, as the law says, "taking into account" the purpose of the punishment. In particular, the paper points out the unacceptability of stricter punishment due to the expected general prevention. At the same time, the importance of the positions taken in this respect in his works by Jovan Ćirić, to whom this work is dedicated, is pointed out.

A mitopoética de Hölderlin no poema "Como em dia de feriado..."
Authors: Fernandes João Evangelista
Published: September 2024

O artigo inicia com uma retomada de duas dissertações que Hölderlin defendeu em Tübingen, em 1790, nas quais se apontará como o poeta concebe a poesia como estreitamente relacionada com o mito, o que pode ser considerada a base de sua mitopoética tardia. Em um segundo momento serão analisados alguns fragmentos, cartas e poemas do período de Iena e Frankfurt, de modo a apresentar o período estético-filosófico de Hölderlin, fundamental para compreender as elaborações mitopoéticas do período maduro, logo após a inconclusão da tragédia A Morte de Empédocles e seu envolvimento com a teoria da tragédia. Por fim, far-se-á uma exposição da interpretação heideggeriana do poema “Como em dia de feriado…”, de 1800, na qual serão apontados elementos da mitopoética hölderliniana.
THE IMPACT OF HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT ON ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Authors: Vlasov Maxim V.
Published: September 2024

Modern society is faced with many environmental problems that require the development of new, most effective solutions, which can be implemented through the development of the level of human capital, since the main result of its development is the use of accumulated knowledge and competencies in order to obtain rent and solve the most important socio-­economic problems. However, despite the importance and relevance of solving environmental problems, today methods for assessing the impact of human capital on environmental activities are beyond the achievements of modern economists. The purpose of this study is to propose a method for quantitative assessment of the influence of human capital on the development of environmental activities. The main hypothesis is that the development of human capital is the main driver of the development of environmental activities. The information base for the study was the data from the official statistical collection of the Federal State Statistics Service for the period 2015–2022, which determines the representativeness and reliability of the study conducted by the author. A tool for quantitative assessment of the influence of the dynamics of human capital development on the dynamics of financing environmental activities is proposed — ​the coefficient of the influence of human capital on environmental activities. Based on the correlation and regression analysis carried out, an assessment was made of the influence of the dynamics of human capital development on environmental activities, and the importance of the development of education as the main component of human capital was determined. The proposed regression model allows for a quantitative assessment of the impact of human capital development on environmental activities. This will be useful for assessing the effectiveness of environmental activities.
ASSESSMENT OF DIGITAL REINDUSTRIALIZATION OF DEPRESSED REGIONS OF RUSSIA
Authors: Shkarupeta Elena V. , Babkin Alexander V. , Ilyina Ekaterina A.
Published: September 2024

Digital re-industrialization of depressed regions of the Russian Federation is a strategically significant process aimed at implementing a set of measures to introduce digital technologies in industrial production, the purpose of which is to stimulate economic growth and improve the competitiveness of these territories. This process is particularly relevant in the context of the need to overcome structural imbalances and socio-­economic problems in depressed regions, as well as in the context of increasing globalization and technological transformation of the world economy. The purpose of the study is to assess digital re-industrialization in depressed regions of the Russian Federation with a focus not only on the modernization and transformation of existing traditional industrial sectors with the help of digital technologies, but also on the creation of new digital industries. The basis for the analysis was Rosstat data for 2022–2023, as well as the materials of the Strategies of Digital Transformation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. As a result of the study, a methodology for assessing digital reindustrialization, adapted to the special conditions of depressed regions of the Russian Federation, was developed and tested, demonstrating how the processes of digital reindustrialization affect the economic development of depressed regions. The novelty of the author’s concept of digital re-industrialization lies in its consideration on the basis of the convergence of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization. In some regions, digital transformation promotes accelerated modernization and growth, while in others it faces a number of obstacles related to limited resources and infrastructural problems. The practical value of the study is expressed in the recommendations for stimulating economic resilience of depressed regions of the Russian Federation. The authors’ further research will be aimed at expanding the empirical database. It also seems important to integrate the presented methodology with other digital strategy tools. It is necessary to conduct long-term monitoring of the results of the implementation of strategies of digital transformation of depressed regions, taking into account the specifics of each region. A promising direction is the study of interregional interaction and the creation of conditions for the dissemination of best practices of digital reindustrialization.

Bending and buckling responses of organic nanoplates considering the size effect
Authors: Dao Minh Tien , Do Van Thom , Phung Van Minh , Pham Huy Hieu
Published: September 2024

As humanity progresses, fossil fuel reserves are being increasingly exhausted, leading to increased focus on sustainable energy alternatives. Scientists are now researching solar panels that can efficiently convert solar energy into electricity for human use. This research employs a novel third-order shear deformation theory to investigate the static buckling and static bending behaviors of organic nanoplates, marking the first instance of such an approach being used. The formulas are computed using strain gradient theory to consider the impact of the size effect, where this size effect parameter is considered in both positive and negative cases. The plate's balancing equation is derived using the notion of virtual displacement, and the analytical solution is obtained using Navier's solution. The mathematical expression for deflection and critical buckling load in this study has been validated by comparing it with previously published analytical findings. This study also includes a set of numerical calculations to demonstrate the impact of certain geometric factors and the size effect on the static bending response and static buckling of organic plates. This study aims to assist designers in developing organic plate products that demonstrate optimal functionality in real-world applications

There is a mandatory intradepartmental peer review algorithm in the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) Department of Laboratories wherein specific cases are required to be reviewed by another pathologist before the release of results. The main objective of this study was to determine the rate of diagnostic change in surgical pathology reports after undergoing the said review.
Methods. All surgical pathology cases which underwent the review from 2015 to 2018 were retrieved from the records of the Section of Surgical Pathology. The cases were classified as concordant or discordant. A case was considered concordant if the reviewing pathologist had agreed with the primary pathologist’s diagnosis. A case was considered discordant if the reviewing pathologist had disagreed with the primary pathologist’s diagnosis.
Results. Out of 5,377 cases included in this study, there were 5,209 concordant cases and 168 discordant cases, with the rate of discordance computed to be 3.1%. Out of the 168 discordant cases, 107 were revised for diagnostic change. Rate of diagnostic change was computed to be 2.0% (107 out of 5,377 cases for review). The most common criterion satisfied for meriting a mandatory review is being under the category of biopsies or cytology cases with malignant or borderline diagnoses (49.4%). The most common category of diagnostic change is change in immunohistochemistry recommendations (24.3%). Most of the discordant cases and cases revised for diagnostic change fall under the categories of gastrointestinal, gynecology, and head & neck pathology.
Conclusion. The low rate of diagnostic change in our institution might be attributed to good diagnostic accuracy. However, it is also possible that reviewing pathologists tended to agree with the diagnosis made by their colleagues because of the element of peer pressure. Data from the study may imply that special courses/ lectures or institutional standard practice guidelines on interpreting biopsy and cytology cases as well as on the utility of immunohistochemistry studies, especially those focused on gastrointestinal, gynecology, and head & neck pathology are needed by the pathologists and the doctors training to become pathologists in our institution.

Background and Objective. The technical review process involves an evaluation of the scientific merits of the research proposal and is a necessary part of the ethics review but can be done separately and ahead of the formal ethics evaluation. The aim of this paper is to determine the efficiency and quality of the technical review process of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) Department of Medicine Research Office.
Methods. This is a cross-sectional study which involved retrieval of the technical review forms of protocols evaluated in the PGH Department of Medicine from the years 2018-2019, and then an evaluation of these metrics: timelines of the review process indicating efficiency, including time from (1) receipt of submission to receipt of reviewer (secretariat efficiency); (2) receipt of reviewer to first decision (reviewer metric); (3) initial receipt to final decision (total review time); and (4) number of re-submissions. To evaluate the quality of the reviews, the specific review findings in each part or section of the protocol were also extracted.
Results. In the years 2018-2019, a total of 199 protocols underwent technical review, with one protocol having no further data after the submission so only 198 proposals were analyzed. Majority of the protocols or 139/198 (70.2%) were submitted only once and were approved without comments, while the remaining 59/198 (29.8%) were submitted twice for technical review (mode of 1, mean of 1.32). The protocols were sent to the reviewers within the same day of receipt 100% of the time. The time from receipt of submission to receipt of reviewer was within the same day and the time from receipt of reviewer to first decision (mean, standard deviation working days) was 10.52, 8.54 days, range 0-51 days. Around one-fourth (21.51%) of the protocols were returned to the secretariat beyond the 14-working day deadline. The time from second review of technical reviewer to return to secretariat was a mean, SD of 6.72, 6.45 days, with a range of 1 day to 36 days, and time from initial receipt to final decision was a mean of 16.16 days, SD 18.3 days, range 0-111 days. The most common reason for the delay was the failure of the author to resubmit the paper for the second review in 17/23 (74%), while the other reason was the long duration of the initial review by the reviewer in 6/23 (26%). Half of the protocols (49.5%) were returned without comments. Majority of the comments were on the methodology.
Conclusions. The technical review process is generally efficient with each step within the acceptable timelines. However, for 12% of the protocols, the over-all review process was still prolonged (>28 working days) because of the failure of the author to submit the paper for the second review in 74% of cases, and the long duration of the initial review in 26% of papers.
Improving the accuracy of the information retrieval evaluation process by considering unjudged document lists from the relevant judgment sets

Introduction. To improve user satisfaction and loyalty to the search engines, the performance of the retrieval systems has to be better in terms of the number of relevant documents retrieved. This can be evaluated through the information retrieval evaluation process. This study identifies two methodologies that help to recover and better rank relevant information resources based on a query, while at the same time suppressing the irrelevant one.
Method. A combination of techniques was used. Documents that were relevant and not retrieved by the systems were found from the document corpus and assigned new scores based on the Manifold fusion techniques then moved into the relevant judgment sets. Documents based on judgment sets and good contributing systems have been considered in the proposed methodologies.
Analysis. Kendall Tau Correlation Coefficient, Mean Average Precision (MAP), Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG), and Rank Biased Precision (Rbp) have been used to evaluate the performance of the methodologies.
Results. The proposed methodologies outperformed the baseline works and enhanced the quality of the judgment sets, achieving a better result even with lesser pool depth.
Conclusion. This research proposes two methodologies that increase the quality of the relevant documents in the judgment sets based on document similarity techniques and, thus, raise the evaluation process accuracy and reliability of the systems.
A comparison of the impacts of in-person and virtual conference attendance
Authors: Dumbell Petra , Haddow Gaby
Published: September 2024

Introduction. In-person conferences provide attendees with the opportunity to extend their knowledge, networks and sense of belonging in their field. This paper reports on an investigation that compared attendance at virtual and in-person conferences to identify differences in the impacts for delegates
Method. An online survey was distributed widely to attract responses from library and information professionals in Australia and internationally. The questionnaire was designed to gather data relating to in-person and virtual conference attendance. It included demographic questions, statements with Likert scale responses and open-ended free text. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were carried out on the data relating to 225 individual responses.
Results. The findings of the study confirmed previously identified impacts of in-person conference attendance and highlighted the primary challenge of virtual conference attendance, which was the networking aspect. Some advantages of virtual conferences were found to be the lower cost, better accessibility and diversity of delegates. However, these potential advantages came with challenges, including distractions and loss of focus in an online environment.
Conclusion. Despite their potential advantages of increased accessibility and lower environmental impact, virtual conferences lack opportunities for attendees to connect and socialise, which needs to be addressed to increase the impact of these events.
