Authors: Aldridge Grace , Wu Ling , Seguin Joshua Paolo , Robinson Jennifer , Battaglia Elizabeth , Olivier Patrick , Yap Marie B H
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Adverse childhood experiences are strongly associated with mental disorders in young people. Parenting interventions are available through community health settings and can intervene with adverse childhood experiences that are within a parent’s capacity to modify. Technology can minimize common barriers associated with engaging in face-to-face parenting interventions. However, families experiencing adversity face unique barriers to engaging with technology-assisted parenting interventions. Formative research using co-design methodology to provide a deep contextual understanding of these barriers can help overcome unique barriers and ensure these families can capitalize on the benefits of technology-assisted parenting interventions.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to innovate the parenting support delivered by a community health and social service with technology by adapting an existing, evidence-based, technology-assisted parenting intervention.

METHODS

Staff (n=3) participated in dialogues (n=2) and co-design workshops (n=8) exploring needs and preferences for a technology-assisted parenting intervention and iteratively developing a prototype intervention (Parenting Resilient Kids [PaRK]-Lite). Parents (n=3) received PaRK-Lite and participated in qualitative interviews to provide feedback on their experience and PaRK-Lite’s design.

RESULTS

PaRK-Lite’s hybrid design leverages simple and familiar modes of technology (podcasts) to deliver intervention content and embeds reflective practice into service provision (microcoaching) to enhance parents’ empowerment and reduce service dependency. A training session, manuals, session plans, and templates were also developed to support the delivery of microcoaching. Feedback data from parents overall indicated that PaRK-Lite met their needs, suggesting that service providers can play a key role in the early phases of service innovation for parents.

CONCLUSIONS

The co-designed technology-assisted parenting intervention aims to offer both parents and clinicians a novel and engaging resource for intervening with maladaptive parenting, contributing to efforts to respond to childhood adversity and improve child mental health. Future research in the field of human-computer interaction and health service design can consider our findings in creating engaging interventions that have a positive impact on the well-being of children and families.
Fagogo—A Literary Cultural Perspective
Authors: Kolone-Collins Su’eala
Published: December 2023

This article discusses Fagogo (story telling at night) in the Samoan context and authors assessment and evaluation of the tool, its significance, appropriateness and applicability to classroom teaching and student interaction. In relation to ‘Fagogo a few publications had widely researched this tool from a Samoan perspective. Few Samoan academics highlighted Fagogo in their writings and research, but I have drawn from the available literature and my own experience as a Samoan raised within the context of Fagogo in the Samoan culture.Freire (1970, 1987) and Skutnabb-Kangas (2000) have provided the lens through which people and students of indigenous cultures are inspired to have strength and faith in their own language and culture to equip them in combatting obstacles and barriers they face in education and survival. Both authors remind people to take pride in one’s identity and be empowered through one’s knowledge and understanding of one’s own language and culture. Freire’s (1978) work in Chile and Brazil became extremely influential in the lives of the landless people. Samoans have drawn from his ideas to better understand the importance of not devaluing one’s heritage, language, and the culture but to seek the removal of the source of disempowerment knowledge and strength.

Authors: Bhuva Kaushik , Vachhani Anand , Parmar Paritosh , PATEL DIPMALA
Published: December 2023

Objective: The objective is to study the clinico-pathological diagnosis of bone lesions.
Methods: The present study was a prospective and observational (non-interventional) type of study. A total of 100 patients from March 2012 to April 2013 were recruited. All excised bone specimens received in the Department of Pathology, SBKS MI and RC, Pipariya, constituted the study material. The specimens were subjected to a detailed histopathological examination. In each case, the pathological reaction pattern was studied carefully and documented.
Results: The total number of cases studied was one hundred, of which 63 were males and 37 were females in the age group of 3 years–65 years. The most common presenting symptoms were pain and swelling in all bone lesions. Out of 100 cases, non-neoplastic cases were 54% and neoplastic cases were 46%. Among 46% of neoplastic lesions, we found that 30% were benign and 16% were malignant. Among non-neoplastic lesions, 14% were tumor-like lesions, 13% were non-specific osteomyelitis, 12% were tuberculosis inflammation, and 15% were avascular necrosis. The most common benign lesion was a giant cell tumor (17%). The most common malignant lesion was osteosarcoma (6%). The most common tumor-like lesion was fibrous dysplasia (9%). The majority of bone tumors were located in the epiphysis of long bones.
Conclusion: Light microscopy or histopathological examination is the gold standard in the diagnosis of bone lesions and is invariably accurate when correlated with clinico-radiological features.

Objective: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused unprecedented disruption to the medical education process and to health-care systems worldwide. In India, almost medical schools have been suspended during the pandemic, and many students were staying at home to abide by social distancing guidelines. This has disrupted the medical education process and has increased the need to find alternatives.
Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional questionnaire-based online study by the Faculty of Pharmacology for Phase II Medical students of SKNMC and GH, Pune.
Results: Eighty-three students responded to the online questionnaire. About 31.3% students were comfortable while using computers, mobiles, and tablets. Compare to conventional teaching method overall experience regarding the online teaching was average of 62.7%, while it was excellent for 19.3% of students and poor for 13.3%. COVID-19 also had impact on the examination of medical students (74.7%). Furthermore, students were not able to learn practical skill online (77.1%). Many students believed that this COVID-19 affected their future interest career plan while few were neutral and disagree.
Conclusion: During COVID-19, virtual teaching help the students to increased their knowledge and increased their willingness to learn. Which they might find useful later on when they go back to the medical college to continue their studies. However, around one-third of students believe that the pandemic has hampered their capacity for long-term planning.

Authors: S Sriram Balaji , GM Sharavanan , C Nithyapriya , S Jeevithan , K Ramkishore , G Sankamitra , Rathinamoorthy Ramesh
Published: December 2023

Introduction: As our population continues to age, the oral health of elderly individuals becomes an increasingly important aspect of their overall well-being. However, a myriad of barriers often stands in the way of older adults accessing adequate dental care. These barriers can have a profound impact on their oral health, quality of life, and even their systemic health. Understanding these obstacles is crucial for developing strategies to ensure that elderly individuals receive the dental care; they need to maintain good oral health and overall well-being in their later years. To address this concern, we conducted a study that aimed at identifying the barriers in seeking early dental care among the elderly population attending a tertiary care hospital in western Tamil Nadu, India.
Objective: The objective of the study is to identify the barriers which prevent the elderly population from seeking early dental care.
Methods: This mixed-methods study was done among 384 elderly adults and senior citizens who attended the dentistry outpatient department of a tertiary care center in Coimbatore, Western Tamil Nadu, India, after 5 days of onset of symptoms. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data.
Results: When questioned about the barriers to seeking dental care, 65.2% did not visit doctor due to anxiety and 50% did not feel the need to meet the doctor on time. 41.4% mentioned that accessibility issues were the main reason for delayed treatment. 56% reported financial constraints for delayed visits to the hospital. Anxiety and fear are prevalent emotions associated with dental visits and procedures in verbatims followed by availability, accessibility, and need.
Conclusion: By recognizing and actively addressing these barriers, we can strive toward a health-care system that ensures that elderly individuals receive the necessary oral health care; they need to maintain their well-being and an improved quality of life in their later years. In doing so, we not only enhance their oral health but also contribute to the broader goal of promoting healthier and happier aging.
Review Paper on UPI Fraud Detection Using Machine Learning
Authors: Bodade Miss. Sayalee S. , Pawade Prof. P.P.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: With the rapid growth of digital transactions, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has emerged as a popular and convenient method for financial transactions in the modern era. However, the increasing reliance on digital platforms has also led to a rise in fraudulent activities. This paper proposes a robust UPI fraud detection system employing advanced machine learning techniques to enhance the security of digital transactions. The proposed system leverages a diverse set of features, including transactional patterns, user behaviour, and device information, to create a comprehensive model for fraud detection. Machine learning algorithms, such as supervised learning classifiers and anomaly detection techniques, are employed to analyse historical transaction data and identify patterns indicative of fraudulent activities. The model is trained on a labelled dataset that includes both genuine and fraudulent transactions, ensuring its ability to distinguish between normal and suspicious behaviour

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Hemodialysis represents a high expense for patients with end-stage renal disease, the family budget, and the per capita health expenditure of the Dominican Republic government.
Objective: To estimate the direct costs of hemodialysis among patients with end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) at Salvador B. Gautier Hospital.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 59 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy in a tertiary public hospital in the Dominican Republic from
July 26th to August 23rd, 2021. Data were collected through interviews with the participants and a review of clinical records. A total of 718 hemodialysis sessions were studied and direct costs were estimated using the bottom-up method.
Results: The mean cost per hemodialysis session was DOP 4,880.51 (USD 85.91) and the mean annual cost was DOP 761,359.56 (USD 13,401.86). Direct medical costs represented 50.06% and direct non-medical costs 49.94%. Medical supplies and transportation represented 40.86% and 24.79% of total costs, respectively.
Conclusions: Hemodialysis imposes a considerable economic burden for the Dominican Republic. The income of the families is not sufficient to cover hemodialysis treatment. To reduce the economic impact of hemodialysis, strategies should be implemented to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease to the end stage.
Variability of factors influencing coffee export performance in Indonesia.
Authors: Yanuarti Rizky , Widjaya Dani
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Empirical evidence is lacking on the nexus between coffee commodity output and commodity price volatility of developing countries especially during pandemic era. The most visible impact from an economic perspective is the change of price expectation on people's basic needs which are in line with the decline of economic growth in Indonesia. This has significant implications, particularly considering the important role of coffee in supporting the country's economy.  The aim of this study is to examine the factors that influence the performance of coffee exports in Indonesia. The novelty of this study lay on the used national dataset within the range of 20 years (2000-2020) and including the pandemic effect on coffee sector performance. We examines the relationship between variables and coffee exports in Indonesia using unit root tests, cointegration analysis, and an Error Correction Model (ECM). The results show that coffee exports, total area, coffee production, coffee price, gross national income, and coffee imports have significant influences on coffee exports. The variables of total area and coffee production impact coffee exports negatively in the long term, while coffee price, gross national income, and coffee imports have mixed effects. In the short term, total area and coffee production significantly affect coffee exports, while coffee prices and gross national income show no significant impact. Coffee imports have a significant negative influence on coffee exports in the short term. These findings contribute to understanding the dynamics of the coffee industry in Indonesia.
Callus formation of Coffea canephora induced with 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and tomato extract supplements
Authors: Fahira Nurul Rifqah , Latunra Andi Ilham , Johannes Eva
Published: December 2023

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is Indonesia's essential leading trade commodity. Robusta coffee is preferred for its bitter taste. However, robusta coffee productivity decreased due to bad agriculture practice. Tissue culture is an alternative to cultivation with various advantages. The plant growth regulators (PGRs) influence tissue culture’s success. Due to its stability, 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid has become a common synthetic PGRs. PGRs can be obtained from natural ingredients, such as tomatoes. This study aimed to analyze the effect of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and tomato extract addition and its appropriate concentration for callus induction of robusta coffee in vitro. This research was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Hasanuddin University. This study used a Complete Randomized Design with two factors. The first factor was the concentration of tomato extract (0%; 7.5%; 10%; and 12.5%). Meanwhile, the second factor was the concentration of 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (0 ppm; 1 ppm; 2 ppm; and 3 ppm). Observation parameters include the percentage of callus formation, callus growing time, callus fresh weight, callus color, and callus texture. The quantitative data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney Test to compare the effect of each treatment. The results showed that among other treatment combinations, treatment with the addition of 2 ppm 2,4-D and 10% tomato extract (T2D2) and treatment with the addition of 3 ppm 2,4-D and 10% tomato extract (T2D3) had the best effect in inducing the callus of robusta coffee.
Productivity of prefixation: A case of Lithuanian prefixes nu-, pri-, į- and iš-
Authors:   Vilnius University, Kietytė Samanta
Published: December 2023

The aim of this paper is to measure the productivity of four distinct morphological constructions – verbal derivatives with prefixes nu-, pri-, į- and iš-. It is measured in quantitative way, employing the calculation methods of Harald Baayen (e.g., 2009). The primary foundations of these measurements are the so-called hapax legomena or simply hapaxes. The data for the investigation was gathered from morphologically lemmatized corpus “LithuanianWaC v2”. The analysis reveals that the prefix iš- is the most productive prefix in terms of realized and expanding productivity, and nu- – in terms of potential. The analysis raises a question – what factors could possibly explain, why constructions with one prefix are more productive compared to others? This leads to a partly confirmed hypothesis that suggests a correlation between productivity and the number of meanings associated with each prefix. However, this investigation extends beyond mere quantitative measurements. Hapaxes were categorized on the basis of their meanings. This categorization aimed to identify the most productive semantic models. Meanings were identified using cognitive analysis of semantics associated with these prefixes. Categorization shows that the most productive ones are prototypical spatial meanings, as well as those meanings which are based on metaphors including CONTAINER as a source domain. Furthermore, this paper raises discussion about the nature of hapaxes – which part of them is real neologisms and which is just rarely used lexemes, and what are the tendencies and motivation of prefixal neologisms’ usage.

Authors: Moreno-Henao Anyelo David , Vega-Medina Sol Karina , Forero-Poveda Alberto
Published: December 2023

La práctica matemática está vinculada con diversos discursos y actividades matemáticas consolidadas por autores, manifestándose en métodos y elementos que pueden ser objeto de análisis en los trabajos de investigadores en didáctica de la matemática cuya intención es analizar, caracterizar y reflexionar esta práctica. Una manera de analizar los elementos referidos es haciendo uso de diagramas (Entendidos como herramientas cognitivas) que permiten reconocer algunos alcances dispuestos en los abordajes. Con lo anterior se resalta el hecho de hacer un seguimiento continuo de la situación y su resolución desde el punto de vista matemático, sin embargo, es de resaltar que para hacer este tipo de ejercicios rigurosos es necesario usar los escritos originales del autor, en este caso, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Por esta razón, el presente trabajo referirá elementos vinculados con el discurso sobre las perspectivas infinitesimales, orientado principalmente en el tratamiento, la necesidad del diagrama y las actividades matemáticas inmersas. Posteriormente, se pondrá en consideración el análisis construido frente a los abordajes que Leibniz realizó en cada documento y las apreciaciones sobre la pertinencia de dichos diagramas al usarlos en la educación matemática.

Van Gölü’nün kuzeybatı kıyısında, Ahlat ilçe merkezinin batısından göle akan Keş deresinin kenarında, son olarak XII. yüzyılın ortalarından XIV. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar kullanıldığı anlaşılan, ancak daha önceki dönemlerde de var olduğu belirlenen Eski Ahlat Şehri Kalesi yer almaktadır. 2018 yılındaki bir ziyaret sırasında yüzeyde bulunan çanak çömlek parçaları sayesinde sözü edilen kalenin altında tarihöncesi döneme ait bir yerleşim yerinin olabileceği anlaşılmıştır. Hemen ertesi yıl Ahlat Müze Müdürlüğü öncülüğünde ve Ahlat Büyük Selçuklu Meydan Mezarlığı Projesi’nin desteğiyle arkeolojik kazılar başlatılmıştır. Eski Ahlat Şehri Kalesi kuzey güney yönünde uzanan 430x60 m boyutlarındaki kayalık tepe üzerinde yer almaktadır. Kireç harçlı taş duvar tekniği ile inşa edilmiş olan bir surla çevrili bu alanın kuzeyinde, nispeten geniş ve daha yüksek bölüm iç kale bulunmaktadır. Arkeolojik kazı çalışmaları içkalede görünür haldeki duvar kalıntılarının olduğu iki yerde başlatılmış, buralarda kısa zamanda Ortaçağ’a ait büyük yapıların temelleri açığa çıkarılmıştır. Özellikle iç kalenin güneydoğu kesimindeki R16 plankaresinde yapılan kazılarda iç kale duvarı olduğu düşünülen kalıntının dış tarafına yığılmış olan döküntü toprak içinde çok sayıda İlk Tunç Çağı çanak çömlek parçası ele geçmiş, bu parçaların derine inildikçe arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Söz konusu parçalar genel olarak arkeoloji yazılarında Karaz tipi diye bilinen siyah yüzlü ve parlak açkılı mal grubundan oluşmaktadır. Bunlar arasında Karaz kültürünün yayılım alanı içinde karşılaşılmayan bazı yöresel çanak çömlek özellikleri de saptanmıştır. Ele geçen buluntular arasında ayrıca gri ve kahverengi mallara ait çanak çömlek parçaları ile yontma taş aletler ve öğütme taşları da vardır. Bu bildiride, dört yıldır yapılan kazılar sonucunda elde edilen verilere dayanarak Eski Ahlat Şehri Kalesi’nin aslında, Van Gölü çevresinde daha önce hiç bilinmeyen bir İlk Tunç Çağı höyüğü üzerine inşa edildiği gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Przystąpienie Polski do UE spowodowało szybkie zmiany dostosowawcze w polskim przemyśle spożywczym. Otwarcie dużego wspólnego rynku europejskiego, liczącego ponad 450 mln konsumentów, wystawiło zakłady przetwórcze na dużą konkurencję, stwarzając jednocześnie szansą zbytu dla ich produktów. Przestały obowiązywać bariery celne, a cena i jakość produktu oraz sprawność działania kadry zarządzającej stały się kluczowymi elementami w odniesieniu sukcesu na rynku. Od wejścia Polski do Unii kilkakrotnie wzrosła liczba zakładów przetwórstwa produktów zwierzęcych z uprawnieniami eksportowymi na poszerzony rynek europejski. Jest ich obecnie oko??o 1800. Eksport mięsa i jego przetworów, produktów mleczarskich i rybnych wzrósł z 2,8 mld zł w 2003 roku do około 7,9 mld zł w 2007 roku, tj. prawie 3-krotnie, pomimo umacniania się naszej waluty wzglądem euro.
Poziom jakości handlowej owoców na rynku krajowym w świetle wymagań Unii Europejskiej na przykładzie Lubelszczyzny
Authors: Pawlak Joanna , Jabłońska Lilianna
Published: December 2023

Celem pracy jest ustalenie aktualnego poziomu jakości handlowej krajowych owoców znajdujących się na rynku w świetle obowiązujących przepisów Unii Europejskiej. Oceny dokonano na poziomie rynku pierwotnego na przykładzie województwa lubelskiego. Z badań wynika, że badani producenci dysponują owocami bardzo zróżnicowanymi pod względem jakości handlowej. Dowolność w ocenie poziomu jakości owoców wskazuje, że deklarowana klasa jakości nie jest jednoznaczna u poszczególnych uczestników obrotu, jak również nie jest jednoznaczna z określoną normą europejską. Badani producenci w rożnym stopniu dbają również o jednorodność owoców w opakowaniu oraz o właściwe etykietowanie owoców. Wyniki analiz nie pozwalają na wysoką oceną jakości handlowej owoców krajowej produkcji w świetle obowiązujących standardów, a powszechne przekonanie o ogromnej roli norm w podnoszeniu jako??ci nie znalazło odzwierciedlania na rynku lubelskim.

Czynniki warunkujące konkurencyjność rolnictwa Podkarpacia w procesie integracji ze Wspólnotą Europejską
Authors: Walenia Alina
Published: December 2023

Podkarpacie ma swoje specyficzne cechy mające wpływ na tempo i kierunki rozwoju gospodarczego i społecznego. Do najbardziej specyficznych cech województwa podkarpackiego należy zaliczyć: - niski poziom rozwoju gospodarczego przy znaczącym wewnętrznym zróżnicowaniu jego cech, - bardzo wysoki odsetek ludności wiejskiej w ogólnej liczbie mieszkańców województwa i powstające stąd problemy rozwoju obszarów wiejskich, - słabe ekonomicznie rolnictwo, przy wysokim odsetku osób utrzymujących się z pracy w rolnictwie i mała skłonność do zmian tego sektora gospodarki, - przygraniczne położenie (granica wschodnia i południowa Polski) i wynikająca stąd peryferyjność województwa, - wysoki udział obszarów prawnie chronionych w powierzchni ogólnej województwa, ale słabe wykorzystanie zasobów przyrodniczych dla rozwoju perspektywicznych sektorów gospodarki (usługi turystyczne, uzdrowiskowe). Obszary wiejskie wraz z obszarami leśnymi dominują w strukturze przestrzennej regionu i są zamieszkiwane przez ok. 60% jego mieszkańców. Obszar ten posiada więc ważne znaczenie gospodarcze, społeczne oraz ekologiczne. Dlatego też podejmowane działania powinny zmierzał przede wszystkim do: - ukształtowania się silnego podsystemu gospodarki żywnościowej w regionie obejmującego nowoczesne rolnictwo, przemysł rolno-spożywczy, sektory produkujące środki produkcji dla rolnictwa i przemysłu spożywczego, obrót rolny krajowy i zagraniczny, usługi dla sektora żywnościowego oraz edukację rolniczą, - zmiany monokulturowego charakteru obszarów wiejskich poprzez rozwijanie ich pozarolniczych funkcji gospodarczych i społecznych, a zatem dążenie do zintegrowanego rozwoju obszarów wiejskich. Wdrożenie tych zmian to sprostanie konkurencyjnym standardom UE, wymagające pokonania istotnej bariery wysokich kosztów transformacji. Najważniejsze w tym celu jest umiejętne i jak najbardziej pełne wykorzystanie przez Podkarpacie unijnego wsparcia finansowego dla sektora rolnego. Pozytywnie należy ocenić absorpcję tych środków przez beneficjentów z Podkarpacia w okresie lat 2004- 2006. Doświadczenie nabyte w gospodarowaniu pomocą strukturalną w latach 2004-2006 pozwoli niewątpliwie na bardziej efektywne wykorzystanie znacznie większej alokacji środków w bieżącym okresie finansowym w UE, tj. w latach 2007-2013.

Oddziaływanie wielkości ekonomicznej na zasoby pracy gospodarstwa rolniczego
Authors: Marcysiak Agata , Marcysiak Adam
Published: December 2023

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest próba ukazania wpływu wielkości ekonomicznej na cechy ilościowe i jakościowe zasobów pracy. Oceny cech ilościowych dokonano na podstawie liczby osób pełnozatrudnionych pracujących w gospodarstwach. Dla oceny cech jakościowych zasobów pracy przeprowadzono analizę poziomu wykształcenia ogólnego i rolniczego. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że najkorzystniejszą strukturę wykształcenia wyróżniały się gospodarstwa o wielkości ekonomicznej 20 ESU i powyżej.

Za co płacimy w ramach WPR? Próba pomiaru na poziomie gospodarstwa rolnego
Authors: Sobczyński Tadeusz
Published: December 2023

Analiza wyników pięciu typów rolniczych gospodarstw z największej klasy wielkości ekonomicznej wykazała, że instrumenty WPR stworzone dla wspierania gospodarstw rodzinnych nie przystają do przedsiębiorstw rolnych z krajów byłego bloku wschodniego. Wysoka dochodowość pracy własnej w tych krajach, gdzie na jedną osobę świadczącą pracą nieopłaconą pracuje od kilku do kilkuset pracowników najemnych, uzyskana przy bardzo niskiej produktywności pracy, była możliwa w wyniku niskich kosztów pracy najemnej i wielusettysięcznego wsparcia w euro. Gospodarstwa o powierzchni często około 1000-1500 ha, w których zatrudnia się pracowników nawet do zarządzania, okazały się w tym przypadku sprawnym narzędziem absorpcji środków oferowanych w ramach WPR, która ma wspierać gospodarstwa rodzinne
Continuous Time-Series Land Cover Maps for South Korea using Google Earth Engine
Authors: Choi Chulhuyn , Jang Inyoung , Han Sanghak , Kang Sungryong
Published: December 2023

In this study, we utilized Google Earth Engine to construct, for the first time in South Korea, a long-term (1986-2021) continuous time series of land cover maps with a spatial resolution of 30 meters. Derived from the surface reflectance data of the Landsat satellite series, a total of 44 input variables were generated, including various spectral bands and indices related to land cover. For accuracy verification of the maps, 4,824 reference data were established using areas where land cover remained unchanged, identified by comparing the most recent (2018) and historical (1988) land cover maps from the Ministry of Environment. The Random Forest model was employed to classify seven land cover types (settlements, cropland, forest land, grassland, wetlands, bare land, and water bodies), with an overall accuracy of 0.97 and a Macro F1-score of 0.91, indicating a generally high performance of the model. However, considering the annual variability, potentially due to unidentified or untraceable errors, a composite land cover map dataset, integrated in five-year intervals, was suggested to ensure the generation of stable data.
Traditional approach to scientific communication: Critique of the “deficit model” and contemporary perspectives
Authors: Pavlicic Jelena
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the author explores the history and trends of discussions on
scientific communication, emphasizing the need for more complex and nuanced
models of communicating scientific knowledge in contrast to the
traditionally applied theoretical framework known as the ?deficit model.?
The focus is also directed towards analyzing the advantages of a more
elaborate approach, known as the ?dialogue model,? while simultaneously
investigating its potential limitations. The text introduces a certain
degree of skepticism regarding the exclusivity of both approaches in
portraying how scientific claims are incorporated into public understanding
and decision- making, highlighting the equal importance of information and
trust in shaping public attitudes toward science. In conclusion,
recommendations for alternative approaches to scientific communication are
outlined, underscoring the significance of actively and thoughtfully
combining different aspects of these theoretical frameworks.
Max Scheller’s phenomenological thanatology
Authors: Losonc Mark
Published: December 2023

Max Scheler is credited with the first elaborated thanatology within the
phenomenological tradition. Although it is primarily a matter of manuscripts
and fragments, Scheler?s thanatology is very systematic. It also encompasses
a phenomenology of the post-mortem state, or more precisely, of what it
means to ?live on?. Scheler?s phenomenological thanatology focuses on the
?intuitive fact of death?, or death as the experiential background of life.
Unlike many other phenomenologies of death, Scheler does not start from the
death of the Other, but from our own death, drawing on the phenomenon of
ageing and the temporality of human life. Furthermore, Scheler?s thanatology
includes historical analyses, as well as a consideration of the relationship
of non-European cultures to death. It is in this context that the
distinction between the normal and the pathological repression of death
appears. Having critically analyzed Scheler?s thanatology from 1911 to 1916,
the article pays particular attention to the lectures of 1923-1924, which
are characterised by a metaphysical attitude towards the spiritual dimension
of death (and immortality).
Meeting of philosophy and theology at St. Gregory of Nyssa
Authors: Djakovac Aleksandar
Published: December 2023

In this article, we will investigate the encounter between ancient philosophy
and Christianity in the creative synthesis of St. Gregory of Nyssa. Both
because of the originality of the approach and because of the clear
influence of (Platonist) philosophy, Gregory?s work represents an adequate
example for a general understanding of the synthesis of ancient philosophy
and Christian theology. Although some other authors, such as Origen and St.
Augustine could also be useful for the analysis we are undertaking, it seems
that Gregory of Nyssa is a more adequate choice since, despite some
concerns, he is recognized as one of the pillars of church theology, and his
influence - with certain oscillations - is recognized in the entire
Christian world, unlike from Origen whose work was posthumously condemned
and Augustine whose influence in the East remained ephemeral.
