Bezpieczeństwo a wolność obywatelska i zaufanie społeczne
Authors: Buczyński Józef
Published: May 2024

W artykule podjęto próbę analizy stanu poczucia bezpieczeństwa, wolności i zaufania społecznego w sytuacji pandemii wywołanej przez COVID-19. Podniesiono problem roli państwa w gwarancji bezpieczeństwa społecznego w formie wprowadzania różnych form zaleceń (szczepionki, maseczki itp.) oraz restrykcji i obostrzeń mających podnieść poziom bezpieczeństwa. Wskazano, jak ważnym atrybutem gwarancji bezpieczeństwa jest zaufanie społeczne / nieufność społeczna wobec przekazu medialnego oraz osób i instytucji wydających / rekomendujących te zalecenia. Podniesiono też – artykułowany przez dużą cześć społeczeństwa – problem, że wprowadzanie restrykcji covidowych jest próbą ograniczenia wolności osobistej i swobód obywatelskich. Zwrócono ponadto uwagę na bardzo ważny paradygmat bezpieczeństwa – dylemat, który jest zawsze trudny do rozstrzygnięcia: w jak znacznym stopniu, bazując na zaufaniu społecznym, państwo może ograniczyć wolności obywatelskie celem zwiększenia narodowego bezpieczeństwa, bez narażenia się na protesty społeczne.

Botnet detection based on Markov chain and Fuzzy rough set
Authors: Aziz Ezzatneshan
Published: May 2024

Botnets now make up a wide range of cyber-attacks, which are a network of infected computers connected to the Internet, with remote control. So far, a lot of research has been done in this field, the proposed methods are based on the signatures of discovered botnets, anomalies, traffic behavior, and addresses. Each method has both advantages and disadvantages. This research proposes a structure for performing identification operations, which is presented in this research based on the Markov chain and is based on behavioral analysis. A disadvantage of the past methods is the inability to receive network information at a very high speed. In this research, it has tried using a solution to receive traffic at a very high speed of about 40 Gbps and analyze it. To be able to perform the analysis with a lower overhead. The proposed method can investigate the behavior of botnets by examining the area of behavior better than the previous solutions, and as a result, during the solutions used by botnets to hide their behavior, it can counter and identify suspicious flows. The accuracy of the proposed method was found to be 96.170%.

Merger Spin-off Project and Its Effect on Financial Health Of Post-Transformation Companies
Authors: Heralová Olga
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of business transformation on the financial health of companies undergoing transformation, using bankruptcy indices. Business transformation could be the way to support risk diversification, improve production efficiency, financial performance or implement changes in organizational structure due to changed internal or external conditions. The verification of the financial health of the companies involved should be carried out and documented in order to ensure that no one has been harmed in connection with the transaction, due to the criminal liability of the legal representatives. This is usually done in advance. The advantage of this article is to point out that the verification by means of bank indicators is also suitable to be carried out after the transaction, immediately after and with a time lag, and could be part of the internal control process. A specific type of transformation, the spin-off by merger project, is the focus of this paper. This paper examines the financial health of companies operating in the Czech Republic using Altman's Z-score and IN05 bankruptcy indices. The main contribution of the article is the verification of the applicability of bankruptcy indicators for assessing the impact of the spin-off by merger project on the financial health of companies after transformation for the needs of documenting the actions of statutory directors and other decision makers with the due diligence of a proper manager.

Environmental Effects of Green Bonds and Other Forms of Financing in the European Union
Authors: Petrov Stefan , Aleksandrova Svetlana , Kirova Silvia
Published: May 2024

Prioritising the implementation of environmental policies is a cornerstone for European Union member states. While sharing common objectives, individual countries apply their own approaches to implementing and financing the sustainable development and green transition, considering the national economic characteristics.
This raises the crucial question of the extent to which various funding sources contribute to the success of environmental policies. In the past decade, many instruments for financing sustainable development have emerged, with green bonds prominently positioned as a pivotal tool for directing financial flows towards the achievement of green objectives.
This paper studies the relationship between the different instruments for financing, such as the availability of issued green bonds, the extent of total debt, economic development, fiscal instruments, and on the other hand the specific indicators used to evaluate the effects of implementing the environmental policies. The study focuses on the environmental policies of European Union member states and associated member states from 2015 to 2022, with the intent to examine the effect of policies on indicators like energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and economic losses from extreme weather events. Through correlation analysis, the study aims to specify the direction and significance of the influence of each independent variable on the dependent indicators. The findings reveal that green bond financing serves as a catalyst for positive changes in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, while general government debt emerges as a significant factor in financing environmental policies.

Authors: Da Silva Macedo Bruno , Saporetti Camila Martins
Published: May 2024

O Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes (ENADE) foi criado para avaliar o rendimento dos estudantes nos cursos das instituições superiores. Através do desempenho dos estudantes estima a qualidade dos cursos. O abandono ou atraso do curso acarreta uma ruim gestão universitária, já que o orçamento que as graduações recebem tem como fator o número de alunos formandos. Analisar dados do ENADE pode gerar insights sobre o tempo que os discentes permanecem na graduação. Como os dados do ENADE contém um número elevado de informações realizar análises visualmente é algo inviável. Para contornar essa situação, técnicas de aprendizado de máquina podem ser utilizadas com intuito de automatizar essa tarefa e apresentar os resultados. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é determinar, através da base do ENADE 2019, o tempo de permanência dos estudantes na graduação, tendo em vista os cursos de Engenharia da Computação na região Sudeste do Brasil. A metodologia envole o pré-processamento, a seleção de características, balanceamento dos dados, abordagem de seleção de parâmetros Grid-Search, validação cruzada e classificação. Os resultados mostram que o Random Forest teve bom desempenho nos experimentos realizados e que a aplicação do SMOTE para balanceamento dos dados se faz necessária.

Authors: Fernández Zamanillo Concepción , Romo González Luna Azahara
Published: May 2024

En este artículo se analizan las principales características de los facilitadores de la innovación europeos y, en concreto, los sandboxes y los hubs de innovación. Estos mecanismos implican un contacto directo con las empresas innovadoras e incluso la experimentación de determinados proyectos, y son empleados por las autoridades para conocer en detalle las innovaciones de base tecnológica, sus beneficios y sus riesgos y su impacto en el ámbito financiero. Este conocimiento facilita la adaptación de la regulación financiera a la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías. Además, en este artículo se explora la evolución del funcionamiento de estos facilitadores: en algunos casos los cambios han sido tan profundos o las funcionalidades tan novedosas, que se les puede considerar a algunos de estos facilitadores como de segunda generación o «Facilitadores 2.0». Adicionalmente, debido a que la innovación financiera es un fenómeno que no conoce fronteras, se revisan las principales iniciativas a escala europea para fomentar la cooperación y la homogeneización de los facilitadores de la innovación en los estados miembros. Finalmente, se describen las principales características y la evolución de los facilitadores en el ámbito nacional, así como la labor del Banco de España para mejorar la transparencia y el conocimiento del sandbox regulatorio español por medio de la organización de encuentros con el sector privado. El sandbox español comparte muchas características con los sandboxes de su entorno, pero cuenta con algunas peculiaridades que le hacen único, y al igual que ha sucedido en otros países, se han incluido mejoras en su funcionamiento en los últimos años.

Authors: Günaydın Nevin , Demirel Sevgül
Published: May 2024

This study was performed with the aim of developing a scale to determine difficulties experienced by people related to the pandemic in Turkey. A total of 500 participants completed an online survey in late June 2020. Cronbach alpha reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used for determination of the difficulties relating to the pandemic scale. The study data were collected online using a “personal information form” and the “difficulties related to the pandemic scale”. As a result of statistical analyses about development of the ‘Difficulties related to the Pandemic Scale (DPS)’ the scale was determined to contain four factors and exhibited good reliability (0.70-0.93). The confirmatory factor analysis results for the structure supported the fit of the four-factor model ( 2.346, GFI= .975, RMSEA= .0051, SRMR=0.072). The obtained findings show the difficulties related to the pandemic scale (DPS) can be validly and reliably used for Turkish society. Difficulties related to the Pandemic Scale (DPS) is a low-cost measurement tool that captures the difficulties individuals experience during the epidemic period and can be used to determine the psychosocial resources they need.

Authors: Nascimento Jessica , Leite Kerolayne , Gomes Kelly
Published: May 2024

Currently there is a tireless search for sustainable solutions to minimize plastic waste in the environment. In this sense, this work aimed to develop a biodegradable packaging from mesquite pods (Prosopis juliflora), to act as a potential replacement for commercial packaging in the agro-industrial sector. To this end, mesquite pod flour (FV) was obtained to produce containers for plant seedlings. During processing, the flour was mixed with an adhesive solution of wheat starch, glycerol and NPK, molded manually and dried in an oven. The containers were evaluated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), Mechanical Resistance, Contact Angle (AC) and Water Absorption. The packages obtained semi-crystalline behavior, due to the presence of lignocellulosic compounds and the addition of NPK did not influence the chemical interactions between the adhesive solution and the FV. With the increase in the concentration of FV in the containers, the ultraviolet light absorption properties were intensified, but resulted in packages with lower tensile strength and greater water absorption.

Human Aging and Entropy
Authors: Mussett Shannon
Published: May 2024

In this paper I argue that the contemporary pathologizing of old age is directly tied to the notion of uselessness, understood entropically as that which cannot contribute energy for useful work. The elderly are configured as socially useless and thus threaten the health of the body politic. As a result, they are marginalized, ignored, and treated as waste to be jettisoned from the system. Because understanding bodies as machines able or unable to perform work accords with the second law of thermodynamics, the first half of this paper discusses entropy as both scientific law and philosophical concept. The second section explores the lived experience of aging and the pathologized position of social uselessness through Simone de Beauvoir’s analysis of old age. As she herself ages, the place of senescence comes to play a more pronounced role in her philosophical inquiry. Writing about the lived experience of aging adds a vital dimension to the scientific and philosophical perspectives, insofar as it foregrounds the various ways that entropy is felt: slowing, dissipating, and ultimately dying. While these should be viewed as part of the normal life cycle, they become markers of abjection which are judged harshly against the standard of social utility.

Authors: Yu Chenchu
Published: May 2024

With the increasing fragmentation of people's reading habits and the prevalence of attention distractions, internet buzzwords, which focus on capturing the essence of events and reflecting the sentiments of the masses, have emerged and gained immense popularity online. However, even though there has been a series of research on this type of buzzword in China, most of the research on buzzwords tends to be limited to exploring the words evolution and their application in a certain region, leaving a huge gap in the relationship between the use of buzzwords and users vocabulary competence. Taking the buzzword cue which is a typical Anglo-Chinese style expression, for example, the case study tries to provide a new perspective in hopes of finding out the appearance of vocabulary capacity in internet buzzwords. The proposed research will employ a mixed-methods approach, integrating semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The former will be used to compare different kinds of digital natives comprehension of the buzzword cue after dividing them into 3 groups by their frequency of using electronic products. Simultaneously, a corpus of comments or responses will be gathered during the focus group discussions, aiming to discern any potential correlation between vocabulary competence and the use of buzzwords.
Analyzing Video Communication Strategies of Chinese International Student Vloggers from a Cross-Cultural Perspective
Authors: Weng Yilin
Published: May 2024

The number of vloggers identified as Chinese international students on social media has been steadily increasing in recent years. This can be attributed to two key factors. Firstly, the growth of the international education industry has provided more opportunities for Chinese students to study abroad and gain firsthand experience of foreign cultures. Secondly, the popularity of social media platforms in China has encouraged individuals to create diverse content, including vlogs. These Chinese international students have gained popularity as content creators on Bilibili. Through their vlogs, they act as cultural ambassadors, providing relatable guidance for audiences to explore and comprehend the similarities and differences between foreign cultures and their own. This study focuses on five influential vloggers who identify as international students on Bilibili, analyzing the language, themes, and characteristics of their top ten-ranked videos. The findings indicate that these vlogs utilize a combination of languages, tackle youthful themes, and explore socially relevant topics to elucidate cross-cultural content, and both highlight and bridge the challenges in cross-cultural communication.
How Art Has Been a Window to the Post-War Generation in Japan
Authors: Li Zijing
Published: May 2024

In this research, our primary focus revolves around the role of art as a lens through which we can examine the impact of World War II on Japanese citizens, with a particular emphasis on the post-war generation. Two renowned Japanese contemporary artists, Nara Yoshimoto and Takashi Murakami, are central to our study. While their artworks may not seem directly related to the war at first glance, a closer examination reveals that both artists use metaphorical expressions to convey the fear and aftermath of the war. Through this study, I also found that both artists experienced the war's effects during childhood due to the bombings that marked its conclusion. This analysis explores how the Japanese perceive themselves in the aftermath of the war. Rather than addressing the topic directly, they often employ metaphorical references. The significance of this study lies in shedding light on the indirect ways in which the Japanese people reflect on their post-war identity and the lasting impact of World War II.

Authors: Jiang Pengyi , Zhang Xinyue , Ren Anwen
Published: May 2024

Based on framing theory, this study compares the differences between the most authoritative and influential newspapers in China, and the People's Daily's news coverage on four online platforms, including the Chinese official website, the English official website, Weibo, and Twitter. By collecting and analyzing the media coverage of People's Daily on July 1 (known as the Party's Day of the Communist Party of China) and July 8, this study argues that People's Daily selects and constructs coverage differently on four platforms, trying to adapt to the specific character of various audiences and platforms. The findings indicate that the influence of the Partys Day on Peoples Dailys coverage was more reflected on Chinese platforms, and People's Daily constructs different narratives in two dimensions: website - social media and China-foreign news. This study adopts the research method of quantitative statistics and content analysis to investigate the changes in People's Daily due to different platforms, which will provide new insights into People's Daily's reporting strategy and value orientation.

In this passage, the problem of poverty in Mongolia is discussed. And it suggests three solutions. The first hypothesis proposes using Zambia's experience in system development as a model for improving technology and the economy of Mongolia. The second hypothesis aims to lessen dependency on the mining industry by growing non-mining sectors, especially tourism. The third hypothesis suggests developing a satellite launch facility and offering services to nations like China and Russia in order to promote a knowledge-based economy. These hypotheses are supported by the argument's reasoning and supporting data. It highlights the necessity of technological development, international partnerships, and diversification to end poverty in Mongolia.

Approaches to Metaphor: Cognitive-linguistic and Philosophical Perspectives
Authors: Jin Ziying
Published: May 2024

Metaphor has been a significant topic of discussion in several academic fields besides being extensively used in daily life. This article explores the interdisciplinary study of metaphor, a complex and connotative concept that has been the primary concern across various disciplines, including linguistics, philosophy, literature, and other humanities. The article presents multiperspective theories and metaphor analysis from the said disciplines to provide a more holistic understanding of metaphor. This includes analyzing metaphors in analytic philosophy and cognitive science, primarily focusing on the conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) developed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, complemented by analysis of the relevance theory, the blending theory, etc. While there are criticisms of CMT, it remains an influential theory in studying metaphor. The article also discusses the relevance theory, which suggests that using metaphors in speech can help achieve optimal relevancy, and the blending theory, which proposes that metaphors involve mapping elements from one mental space onto another to create a blended mental space that combines elements of both. This paper also addresses continental philosophers' usage or account of metaphor, from Kant to Derrida, in establishing their arguments. The essay then discusses and integrates ideas in metaphor studies from the perspectives of semantics and pragmatics. Finally, the article emphasizes the importance of bridging the gap between abstract conceptualizations and concrete linguistic expressions to gain a holistic understanding of metaphor.
Impact of Alexander the Greats Upbringing on His Conquest and Treatment Towards Women
Authors: Zhu Bowen
Published: May 2024

Throughout his journey, Alexander The Great had displayed traits that were unusual of his time, such as the respect of women and his tolerant towards the Persian people. The article focuses on the descriptions of Plutarch and Curtius Rufus on the upbringing of Alexander The Great to examine how his childhood in Macedonia and his education had impacted his character and decisions he made during his conquest. The excessive love and expectation from his mother Olympia had resulted in his respect and reluctance to engage in intimate relationship early on in his life. His path towards conquest was due to his desire to surpass his parents. On the other hand his lack of paternal care and love likely resulted in his homosexual desires. Growing up, Alexander amounted the desire to gain more glory and become greater than his parents, which he did through conquest.
Back to Divination Practice: Cross-Cultural Characteristics of Dunhuang Birdsong Divination Book IOLTibJ747
Authors: Liu Zhongyuan
Published: May 2024

Divination, as an important component of Chinese philosophy, plays an important role in reflecting the complex historical background in history and folklore. Especially in the Dunhuang region, which has experience in cross-cultural communication, the divination books unearthed from it have high reference value for understanding the complex historical background of Dunhuang at that time. This article selects the Dunhuang Birdsong Divination Book IOLTibJ747 as the research object, and through text analysis and historical analysis, re-examines the living conditions of the Dunhuang people during the Tibetan rule and the influence reflected by cross-cultural experiences. On the one hand, this article believes that IOLTibJ747 has a multilingual nature and integrates folk tales born in various cultural backgrounds, as well as the cross-cultural experience of the Dunhuang region during Tibetan rule in terms of bird species selection. On the other hand, this article believes that IOLTibJ747's emphasis on the spatiotemporal coordinates of divination and the selection of divination themes both point to the historical fact that war was the main topic of people's life in the Dunhuang region during the Tibetan rule. This article has certain reference value for exploring academic approaches to cross-cultural research, international relations research, and social history research through Zi Xue academic literature.
Analyzing the Characters in the Dream of the Red Mansion and Jane Eyre from the Perspective of Feminism
Authors: Zhai Qianzhi
Published: May 2024

Feminism not only has many manifestations in theory but also in practical life. This paper explores feminism from the perspective of literary works from both East and West. In the East, although feminism was influenced very late, it began to sprout as early as the feudal society. The feminism of this period was closed, not bold, and oppressive. Cao Xueqin's "Dream of the Red Chamber" can become an encyclopedia of Chinese feudal society. Feminism is manifested in all aspects here. When China was in a backward feudal period, Western societies such as Britain and France had already begun a vigorous bourgeois revolution. Women are already openly and boldly fighting for democracy, freedom, and liberation. British writer Charlotte Bronte, influenced by the idea of compromise and combining her own personal experience, wrote the masterpiece Jane Eyre. This paper analyzed the characters in Dream of the Red Mansion and Jane Eyre from the perspective of feminism.
