HOLOKAUST SUOČEN SA POLITIKAMA ZABORAVA: JUGOSLOVENSKO NEŽELEJNO UMETNIČKO NASLEĐE
Authors:   University of Arts in Belgrade, Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Serbia, Dragićević Šešić Milena R.
Published: January 2025

The research aims to study the reasons why the Yugoslav academic and artistic heritage
about the Holocaust, positively evaluated at the time of its creation, has been sent to oblivion

since the mid-seventies of the 20th century. The main research question is: What kind of poli-
cies of remembrance, narratives, and „monument buildings” can restore trust, confidence, and

community life? The research will rely on the method of content analysis of selected represent-
ative works of art (from the domains of film, visual arts, and monumental memorial architec-
ture) and their reception at the time of their creation and nowadays. Their messages, as well as

the policies of remembrance which made them possible, and the politics of forgetting which
interrupted their integration into the corpus of Serbian culture and their reception, will be
based on the theories of Jan Assmann, Alaida Assmann, and Paul Connerton.
The results of the research show that it took more than fifteen years after the Second World
War to pay attention to the topic of the Holocaust and that the politics of remembrance of that

time strived to „fit” this topic into the overall politics of celebrating the heroism of the anti-fas-
cist struggle. Therefore, the policies of forgetting were erasing individual and group charac-
teristics of the victims, avoiding the topics of trauma and social justice for the victims. In the

1990s, even the artworks dedicated to the Holocaust suffered the fate of socialist Yugoslavia’s
unwanted legacy and started disappearing from the public scene.

In the 21st century, the topic of genocide in the Second World War started to gain impor-
tance within the policies of construction and reconstruction of Serbian cultural identity, those

which encourage the creation of new artworks related to the Holocaust and the renewal of

interest in previously created ones. This process is also supported by the European integration policies which, in all new democracies, contributed to the opening of the first Holocaust
museums and the construction of specific monuments (affecting the public memory).
Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis: The Properties of Everyday Language Found in “From South Sumatera to Ohio, Indiana, & Utah”
Authors: Ulfah Badriyah
Published: January 2025

Analyzing everyday language properties is crucial for uncovering the nuanced layers of meaning within literary works. Therefore, this study explores Prof. Diemroh Ihsan's book, From South Sumatera to Ohio, Indiana, and Utah, through the lens of pragmatics and discourse analysis, focusing on everyday language properties as outlined in Grundy's (2008) framework. Specifically, the study examines indirect meanings, cultural contexts, and inferences present in the narrative. The qualitative descriptive technique was chosen for its suitability in systematically capturing and interpreting descriptive data, such as written words in the book, allowing for a detailed exploration of linguistic nuances within the text. This approach enables an in-depth understanding of how language operates within cultural and contextual dimensions of the narrative. The analysis reveals eight instances of implicit meaning, nine cultural contexts, and one inference, illustrating the intricate dynamics between language and culture. By acting as a cultural bridge that portrays diverse culinary traditions, festive celebrations, and economic perspectives, this study highlights the interplay between language and cultural interpretation. The findings lay a foundation for future cross-cultural analyses, contributing to a deeper understanding of how language and culture intersect in literary works.Everyday Language Properties
The Cold War in Historical and Literary Context: A Sociological Analysis of Socio-Political Conflicts in Patrick Worrall's The Partisan
Authors: Zulftriani Amelia , Wajiran Wajiran
Published: January 2025

This research examines the Cold War's socio-political conflicts and global impacts as depicted in The Partisan, a historical espionage novel by Patrick Worrall. Using Laurenson and Swingewood's theory of literary sociology, the study explores the novel's portrayal of ideological and military tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, focusing on the broader implications of these conflicts on modern political, social, and technological systems. Through close textual analysis, the research identifies themes of hegemony, ideological rivalry, and power struggles in the novel, reflecting the Cold War's influence on bloc countries. The study also highlights significant socio-political conflicts, including the arms race, the Berlin Wall crisis, and Baltic resistance, which illustrate the pervasive influence of Cold War ideologies on geopolitical landscapes. The findings underscore the Cold War's role in shaping contemporary societal structures, urban planning, technological advancements, and economic policies. By contextualizing The Partisan within historical events, this research contributes to understanding how literature reflects and critiques the long-term effects of Cold War tensions on global civilization, ultimately revealing the inseparability of historical conflicts from present-day socio-political realities.
The Estimation of Local Education Finance Burden Due to the Fiscal Requirements for AI Digital Textbook Subscription
Authors:   The Korean Society For The Economics And Finance Of Education, Kim Bum-Joo
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to estimate the fiscal requirements for AI digital textbook subscriptions, which will be introduced with a subscription-based pricing model from 2025 to 2028, and to forecast the burden on local education finance for provincial and municipal education offices. It also aims to present policy considerations regarding future funding allocation that should be taken into account in legislative decision-making. Based on the 2025-2028 schedule for AI digital textbook implementation announced by the Ministry of Education in June 2023, the number of students by grade, and the set price ranges, the results show that applying Scenario S1-1 (an average monthly subscription fee of 5,000 KRW with a 12-month subscription for semester-based textbooks) would require a total of 4.7255 trillion KRW in student subscription fees over four years. Furthermore, it is expected that the fiscal requirements will range from 1.9252 trillion KRW under the minimum scenario (S2-2) to 6.6156 trillion KRW under the maximum scenario (S1-3).
Given that the introduction of AI digital textbooks will significantly increase local education finance burdens due to the substantial fiscal requirements involved, potentially causing major changes in the existing textbook system, it is deemed appropriate that this initiative be pursued based on prompt and clear legislative decisions by the National Assembly under the principle of the rule of law for education systems as stipulated in the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. When these premises are clear, the following funding options can be considered: ① extending the effective period or removing the sunset clause for special grants that increase national support for high school tuition-free policies, including textbook costs, ② abolishing the temporary special grant system for digital education innovation needs to secure additional ordinary grant funding, ③ inducing investment from the central government’s general budget to secure additional funding for AI digital textbooks, and ④ utilizing temporary national project special grants in 2025.

O papel das reservas privadas na conservação da natureza
Authors:   , Almeida Marcello Pinto de
Published: January 2025

As áreas naturais protegidas (ou áreas protegidas, somente) constituem a principal estratégia de conservação in situ em escala global. Essas áreas podem ser estabelecidas sob governança privada, caracterizando uma área protegida privada (PPA, acrônimo em inglês). As PPAs ocorrem sob diferentes modelos ao redor do mundo. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como primeiro objetivo caracterizar, em termos de permanência e estabilidade, o principal tipo de PPA existente em países megadiversos, quais sejam: Austrália, África do Sul, México, Colômbia, Peru, Colômbia e Brasil. Nos capítulos subsequentes, o principal tipo de PPA existente no Brasil (Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural – RPPN) foi alvo de duas análises. A primeira visou avaliar a qualidade dos fragmentos florestais protegidos por RPPNs, em Minas Gerais, por meio de métricas da paisagem (área, forma e proximidade). A segunda diz respeito à concepção de um modelo preditivo de fragilidade ambiental por meio de análise multicritério, considerando precipitação, fluxo acumulado, declividade, tipo de solo e cobertura do solo. Os resultados elucidaram o alcance temporal da proteção proporcionada pelas PPAs nos diferentes países e evidenciaram que as RPPNs constituem um dos mais sólidos mecanismos de conservação voluntária em terras privadas em todo o mundo. Em relação aos fragmentos florestais protegidos por RPPNs, as principais métricas analisadas indicaram um tamanho médio de 165 hectares e um alto grau de isolamento, condizente com o cenário de alta fragmentação existente na Mata Atlântica. O índice desenvolvido a partir da interação das métricas de paisagem demonstrou que mesmo fragmentos de tamanho reduzido podem constituir habitats de qualidade. Por último, a análise sobre a fragilidade ambiental atestou sua aplicabilidade no planejamento e manejo de trilhas em áreas protegidas, como parques e RPPNs. Ademais, o modelo preditivo proposto representa uma ferramenta replicável, podendo ser utilizada em outras áreas protegidas, especialmente aquelas situadas na Mata Atlântica. Este trabalho se propôs a investigar um tema ainda pouco explorado na literatura científica: as áreas protegidas privadas. A importância dessas áreas, em escala global e regional, foi evidenciada nos capítulos I e II, respectivamente. Assim, o fortalecimento e expansão da rede de PPAs em todo o mundo é uma estratégia imprescindível para frear o declínio da biodiversidade atualmente em curso. Além disso, como demonstrado no capítulo III, os impactos negativos oriundos da visitação em RPPNs podem ser mitigados a partir do mapeamento da fragilidade ambiental desses ambientes, em especial, das trilhas abertas ao público, que devem ser planejadas e implementadas seguindo parâmetros técnicos adequados. Palavras-chave: Áreas de conservação particular; Áreas protegidas privadas; Conservação de terras privadas; Conservação voluntária; Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural.

Authors: KODANINA A.L.
Published: January 2025

The digital transformation of the printed press, being an important condition for a successful media strategy of modern media, poses the task of attracting and retaining a readership, its qualitative and quantitative expansion. Multi-format and multi-platform are becoming important trends in the development of mass media, making it possible to optimize interaction with target audience groups. The author of the article focuses on an analysis of practical experience in the development of the regional printed press in a multi- platform environment, which entails both a quantitative increase in communication platforms and a qualitative transformation of interaction with target audience groups, an expansion of technological methods for the formation and “packaging” of content. During the study, the author used typological, structural-functional and comparative methods. The subject of the analysis was the experience of digitalization of the oldest regional newspaper «Nizhegorodskaya Pravda», which demonstrates active creative development of communication platforms and strives to strengthen interaction with the reader. Today, the newspaper has not only a modern website, but also rapidly developing communities on social networks, video hosting sites, and instant messengers.Using the example of resources used to promote content, the specifics of the formation and distribution of an information product, the use of new technological formats and methods of interaction with the audience, and the search for creative ways to achieve qualitative and quantitative growth of target audience groups are analyzed.The study draws a conclusion about the effectiveness of the Nizhegorodskaya Pravda editorial team’s development of digital communication platforms, which is reflected both in an increase in the number of subscribers and an increase in their involvement. The newspaper’s obvious desire for multi-format and multi-platform is noted, which is dictated by the successfully implemented desire for quantitative and qualitative growth in the coverage and involvement of target audience groups.
THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL MEDIA IN SHAPING PUBLIC OPINION TRENDS DURING ARMED CONFLICTS
Authors: WALEED N.S. , FADI A.C.A.
Published: January 2025

The research deals with the characteristics of the formation of public opinion during armed conflicts. It aims to study and analyze the role played by the media in the formation of public opinion during conflicts. The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between the media and public opinion in the context of issues of armed conflict. The research problem is the challenges facing the formation of an objective and conscious public opinion during armed conflicts, given the growing influence of disinformation, propaganda, and censorship on the media. The research seeks to understand the main characteristics of the formation of public opinion during armed conflicts, the media strategies used to control public opinion during armed conflicts, and how the media affects public perceptions and attitudes towards the parties to the conflict.The research reached several main conclusions, most notably: the Western media played a negative role in misleading the public, by distorting the image of Russia and the Palestinians in front of international public opinion. CNN and the BBC have employed biased and subjective news frames while covering armed conflicts to win public opinion trends in favor of Israel and Ukraine. The Russia Today channel played a prominent role in forming an objective public opinion on the direction of the conflict in Gaza and the military operation in Ukraine.
FEATURES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNICATION ROLES IN THE SPACE OF COMPUTER GAMES
Authors: SHESTERIN N.O.
Published: January 2025

Computer games, being an important component of the media world, have a significant impact on players in terms of the formation of behavioral models. In this regard, it is important to understand exactly what communication roles they form and what impact they have on users in terms of choosing communication strategies. The communicative role in the context of this work is considered as behavior demonstrated in a specific communicative situation (in our case, in the situation of the relationship between the player and the character). Based on the analysis of 42 popular computer games of various types (games of information, games of action and games of control), using historical-functional and comparative-typological methods, the dominant communicative roles and role models conveyed by the characters are studied. It is noted that at the present stage of development of computer games, standard communicative roles dominate over initiative ones, however, the development of computer games is moving in the direction of updating communicative roles of the second type. The latter is reinforced by the fact that the development of a fundamentally new type of games using artificial intelligence technologies demonstrates greater freedom for the player and character in choosing a communication strategy. This freedom manifests itself at all levels of relationships (player-character, player-player). The dependence of the dominance of role models on the types of computer games is established: in information games, controlling and conditionally friendly role models are more common, in action games - enemy role models, and in control games - controlling and friendly role models. The relationship between the degree of freedom of the player and the dominant role models is fixed: in games of the initiative type, friendly role models prevail over unfriendly ones.

The analysis and generalization of the calculation results of the structure, electronic and energy characteristics of graphene monolayer polymorphs L6, L4-8, L3-12, L4-6-12, L5-7 functionalized with fluorine, hydrogen and hydroxyl group atoms has been carried out. It has been established that in graphanes and fluorographenes, as the deformation parameter increases, the sublimation energy decreases and the lattice constant increases. The sublimation energy decreases in the sequence: hydroxygraphenes, fluorographenes, graphanes. The studied materials have a band gap ranging from 1.93 to 6.46 eV. It has been established that the band gap decreases with increase of sublimation energy. With an increase of the electronegativity of the attached atoms (groups), the sublimation energy increases, and the band gap decreases. Graphanes have the lowest sublimation energy and the largest band gap.

Authors: ABBAZOV V.R. , MELNIKOV A.V. , RUSANOV M.A. , SOKOLKOV O.I.
Published: January 2025

The paper presents a comparison of segmentation models for solving the problem of detecting forest felling in winter using a pair of Sentinel-2 satellite images. The comparison includes models based on convolutional neural networks from the segmentation models library developed for the python programming language. As data for model training we used images from 2018 to 2022 from open sources of the European Space Agency, which were taken over the territory of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug Yugra. These images were preprocessed to solve the following tasks: atmospheric correction of images, bringing image pairs to a single projection, slicing images into frames. Forest felling masks were manually generated since 2015 in the space services center of the Ugra Research Institute of Information Technologies. F1-measure was used to assess the quality of models, as it is required to evaluate whether the model finds all felling areas, how accurately the model finds felling areas, as well as F1-measure allows taking into account false positives of the model. The UNet++ model showed the best result with a score of 0.847. The other models showed similar results, which indicates the similarity of these models for forest harvest segmentation tasks.

Dünya genelinden ve Türkiye’den örneklerle mevcut durum ele alınmış, STEM eğitiminde toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin genç kızlar ve kadınlar aleyhine işlediği gösterilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, kız öğrencilerin STEM alanlarına ilgisini artırmak için eğitim sistemlerinde köklü değişiklikler yapılmalı ve cinsiyet stereotipleri ile mücadele eden programlar uygulanmalıdır. Ayrıca, bu alanlarda kadınların karşılaştıkları engellerin kaldırılmasına yönelik uzun vadeli politikalar geliştirilmelidir.
The role of economic intelligence in enhancing the monetary capacity of the Central Bank of Iraq (Japan as a model)
Authors: Rajaa jaber Abbas
Published: January 2025

Economic intelligence is an emerging, complex, and multidisciplinary field that has gained prominence in recent years, driven by the growing significance of the economy in shaping international relations. It has become a critical component in the operations of governments and central banks, with Japan’s experience serving as a notable example of its successful implementation. In Japan, monetary management has played a pivotal role not only in fostering financial and economic stability but also in benefiting society at large. This was achieved through strategic influence on interest rates and the stimulation of investments in both the public and private sectors. In stark contrast, the Iraqi economy has faced persistent financial and monetary instability, largely due to its heavy dependence on oil revenues as a source of foreign exchange. A key finding of this research highlights the importance of revitalizing monetary management by leveraging the exchange rate tool, which has historically been controlled through oil-derived foreign exchange revenues.
Impact of Job Satisfaction on the Young Community Engaged in the Plantation Jobs: Evidence from Sri Lanka
Authors: Akalanka B.P.A. , Mayoshi R.M.M.
Published: January 2025

The plantation industry can be recognized as a sector that contributes greatly to the economy of Sri Lanka. However, it has been found that the labor shortage caused by the youth community leaving plantation jobs, especially in large-scale tea estates, has directly contributed to the decline in Sri Lanka’s tea production and export capacity. The main objective of this study is to identify the job satisfaction of the young people doing plantation jobs and its effect on the young community to leave the plantation jobs, about 106 young people working in the Spring Valley Tea Estate of Haliela Divisional secretariat, Badulla District, Sri Lanka were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling method. Primary data collection was done on the socio-economic data of the youth and their satisfaction with the internal factors of the job using questionnaires and interviews. Furthermore, Binary logistic regression model and Likert scale intervals were used for data analysis. According to research data, 78% of young people working on plantations are dissatisfied with their jobs. It was revealed that the internal factors of the job such as the low level of social acceptance of the job, the low salary paid by plantation management in comparison to alternative jobs, the inadequacy of basic facilities provided in the work environment, the weakness of residential facilities, problems in supervision, prolonged working hours, insufficient overtime and additional allowances have mainly affected to increasing job dissatisfaction of youth, and for they leaving from plantation employment.

The binary logistic model revealed that there is a significant negative relationship between factors such as education level, age, and job satisfaction, and a significant positive relationship between daily income, service time, and job satisfaction. It was also possible to recognize that men are more likely to be satisfied with jobs compared to women. Accordingly, Measures such as providing formal training, adequate living wage, improving basic facilities in the work environment, providing quality residential facilities, developing job security, making a systematic and formal performance evaluation system, improving existing social recognition for plantation jobs, and introducing small-scale contract farming system (SCFS) to the youth in Plantation jobs can be recommended as the most appropriate measures that can be taken to prevent the youth working in tea estate from leaving the plantation jobs.
Shifting Ideological Conceptions of Gender and the Challenge of Characterisation in Nigerian Drama
Authors: Eni Kenneth Efakponana , Adjeketa Blessing
Published: January 2025

Drama has, over the years, portrayed issues of gender inequality and agitations, from Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, J. P. Clark’s The Wives Revolt, Ola Rotimi’s Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again, Fred Agbeyegbe’s The King Must Dance Naked, Tracie Uto’s Our Wives Have Gone Mad Again, Irene Salami-Aguloye’s Sweet Revenge, More Than Dancing to Ama Ata Aidoo’s Anowa by the Ghanaian writer. The list of plays x-raying gender and feminist issues is endless. Drama has thus portrayed gender issues in its complexities, limiting itself majorly to the male-female binary in gender discusses. Using the psychoanalytical theory, Feminism, Genderism and Postgenderism as critical paradigms, the paper interrogates contemporary Nigerian drama portrayal of discriminatory gender practices arising from the social-cultural construct of the dichotomy between the genders. It uses Ben Binebai's monodrama, Karena’s Cross, as the primary text in a paradigmatic study of gender, male-female relationships, perceptions, presentations and portrayals of social roles in drama. The study identifies that over the years, drama has portrayed the female gender in stereotypical ways and presented socially constructed images of male-female relationship that reinforces the victim status of the female gender. The paper also identifies that Nigerian society is no more as traditional as it used to be. There is presently a transition from stereotypical gender understanding to an acceptance of western concepts of gender and gender roles. The paper concludes that Nigeria, and Africa, is presently experiencing a reversal of thought and perception of gender roles. The paper identifies that there is a nostalgic reliance on a past and fading culture in contemporary Nigerian drama presentation of gender issues, which reinforces archetypally held notions of gender.
Beyond the Forgotten: Cultural Memory and the Poetics of Gender in Dante’s Commedia
Authors: Ayrım Oğuzhan
Published: January 2025

The primary focus of this article is to investigate the (in)visible gendered constructs within Dante’s Commedia. The article argues that due to the special emphasis on vice and virtue, Commedia lends itself to the archival purposes of cultural memory. The article explores how the cultural memory within the poem takes on a phallocentric perspective in its mechanics of socio-political affirmations doubled by Dante’s poetic chiasm. Since the meticulous visibility of such a concept by itself reallocates our focus towards the imperatives of silences and gaps, the poem introduces a nuanced gendered interpretation far beyond the visible space. Therefore, this article employs a critical and deconstructive method to scrutinise the phallocentric dynamism of the poem’s memory-dependent derivatives and its invisible underside by taking a gendered approach. Within this framework, this article aims to contribute to the literature on Dante’s Commedia with an introduction of a new feminist lens that might enrich various readings of Dante’s “poema sacro.”
Anita Desai’s Clear Light of Day: A Narrative of Postcolonial Writing
Authors: Demirtürk Mehtap
Published: January 2025

Anita Desai’s Clear Light of Day successfully reflects memory and individual experiences in Indian postcolonial culture and features Desai’s talented portrayal of time as both a devourer and a cure. The narration depends on a time circle to present the continual effects of colonialism on individual and social history. In this novel, the women’s position in Indian culture is examined through a changing perspective toward the general assumptions of Indian gender roles. A complicated evaluation of women’s fights for independence inside a man-dominated system is given by Desai with female characters Bim, Tara, and Aunt Mira. Clear Light of Day both serves as a strong narration and also contributes to the wider postcolonial literary field. Desai encourages her readers to think about the complicated characteristics of cultural identity in a postcolonial culture besides the everlasting impacts of colonialism via the unity of personal experiences with more extensive historical and social conditions. This paper aims to reveal Bhabha’s postcolonial theories such as subaltern, hybridity, mimicry, and third space by investigating Desai’s own multicultural background and Indian history after the Partition as well as the effects of time on the individuals through an analysis of thematic perspectives of colonialism.

This study investigates the factors influencing consumer repurchase intentions within digital platforms of SMEs in Malacca, Malaysia. It introduces a novel framework comprising five motivational dimensions—price, promotion, innovativeness, store brand, and service quality sensitivity—to explore their relationships with repurchase intentions. Data from 300 SME consumers were collected through a structured survey. The findings revealed that consumer repurchase intentions in Malacca’s digital SME marketplace are significantly influenced by four motivational dimensions: price sensitivity, innovativeness sensitivity, store brand sensitivity, and service quality sensitivity, with innovativeness sensitivity emerging as the most influential factor. This underscores that consumers prioritize innovative features when deciding to repurchase from SMEs online, alongside factors like price, brand, and service quality. The study highlights the practical implications for digital marketing, stressing the importance of dynamic pricing, continuous innovation, strong branding, and exceptional service quality for SMEs to engage and retain customers effectively. Additionally, the study suggests avenues for future studies, including exploring demographic influences and the longitudinal evolution of consumer motivations.

Данная статья освещает современное состояние транспортно-логистической отрасли Казахстана, динамику показателей за прошедшие десять лет и основные тенденции развития. Представлена структура объемов пассажира и грузовых перевозок по видам транспорта, а также изменение этих показателей в сравнении с предыдущим периодом, доли видов транспорта по итогам 2023 года, где основные перевозки осуществляются железнодорожным транспортом. Проанализированы объемы перевозок по всем видам транспорта, где основная доля из-за экономической эффективности приходится к трубопроводному и железнодорожному транспорту. Несмотря на то, что Казахстан за последние 15 лет инвестировал в данную отрасль 35 млрд долларов и имеются прогнозы, что доля транспорта и логистики в ВВП Казахстана вырастет с 6,2 % в 2022 году до 9 % к 2025 году. Решение вышеуказанных проблем видится в виде обновления и капитального ремонта через крупные инвестиционные вложения. Касательно логистического направления выявлена высокая необходимость в создании и развитии логистической инфраструктуры через региональные центры логистики. Проведенные исследования по общему рейтингу в Индексе эффективности логистики Logistics performance index (LPI) свидетельствуют, что позиция Казахстана снизилась в сравнение с 2018 годом и переместилась на 79 позицию.

Most of the universities in our country work in the fields of education, scientific research and social service, and allocate their resources to these three fields. This situation, in turn, creates difficulties in the allocation of university resources, their efficient and productive use. Determining the areas in which universities are active and focusing on their active and effective areas will not only strengthen them in the global competition, but also cause effective and productive use of their resources. However, a university focused on the wrong or ineffective field can do great damage to both the institution’s image and its resources. For this reason, it is very important to analyze the effectiveness of universities. Purpose of this research work, prepared in this direction, is to measure and analyze the efficiency of higher educational institutions, that is, universities, using the DEA method. Also, it was aimed to determine whether universities should be restructured for various reasons and to determine which areas universities should address during this restructuring. In the course of the study, by analyzing the relative efficiency of the university, it was determined how much it should increase or decrease its income and how much it should increase or decrease its expenses in order for the university to be effective. Based on the results of the research, it was discussed how to achieve partial differentiation of universities by looking at the indicators of education, scientific research and social service. Also, analyzes and measurements of the relative efficiency of these universities were conducted, and assessments were made regarding which of their input and output values ​​are not efficient and ways to make them efficient. In order to maintain effective and current efficiency levels, idle capacities were identified and estimates were made for these idle capacities and increasing-decreasing-constant revenue scenarios were also considered.

Fournier's gangrene is a relatively rare infectious necrotizing fasciitis that affects the
superficial and deep tissues of the perineal, genital and perianal regions. Expressly
known to be highly morbid, this condition can carry a staggering spectrum of mortality
in the absence of a diligent multidisciplinary management plan. The disastrous and
critical scale of the entity deserves particular attention to improve the results. We report
the tragic case of a patient with a medical history of diabetes admitted with the
diagnosis of Fournier's gangrene. Examination revealed multi-organ failure and
laboratory findings marked leukocytosis, lactic acidosis and elevated inflammatory
markers. Despite intensive medical treatment and emergency extensive surgical
debridement, the patient died. The particularity of this documented report highlights
the need for increased vigilance in the field of professional medical practice,
emphasizing the interest in further awareness-raising to bridge the gap between the
public and this disease, which could help optimize patient prognosis.

Cranial lacuna is a low density radiological image of the cranial vault giving the
appearance of beaten copper, the rarefaction zones which are several, producing
radiologically a "soap bubble" or "honeycomb" effect. due either to an absence of the
internal and external tables or to the absence of a single table or to localized
demineralization. They are either physiological or pathological. They are associated
with neurological malformations especially hydrocephalus, myelomeningocele and
chiari type II malformations. We report the case of a newborn aged one day, admitted
for the management of myelomeningocele associated with a chiari type II malformation
and a lacunar skull diagnosed postnatally. The newborn is a male, 39 weeks
pregnancy, cesarean section. Weight 3500 g, Apgar: 7/10, 8/10. Mother: G6/P5. His
clinical examination reveals good skin-mucosal coloration, eupnea, slight axial
hypotonia, normal cardiopulmonary auscultation, permeable choanae and esophagus,
cranial perimeter at 33 cm, ruptured spina bifida. The skull X-ray reveals a beaten
copper appearance of the skull with marked convolutions. The normal chest X-ray.
The Abdomino-Pelvic ultrasound finds bilateral uretero-hydronephrosis more marked
on the left, with distended bladder and signs of neurogenic bladder. The normal
echocardiogram. The brain CT scan reveals a type 2 Chiari malformation, absence of
hydrocephalus, The negative infectious assessment, The correct renal assessment,
The newborn received neurosurgical management of spina bifida, with a reserved
neurological prognosis. This condition is associated with neurological malformations
that can have a poor prognosis. Prognosis is reserved in the event of an association
with a myelomeningocele because it is dominated by the risk of infection and the dark
neurological outcome. The lacunar images resolve spontaneously after 4 to 6 months.
