Multi-Dimensional Deconvolution for Near-Field Thread Seismic Sources in Tunnels
Authors: Bin Lu
Published: February 2022

In underground tunnel constructions, belt conveyors or subway trains can be used as passive sources for time-lapse seismic assessments of surrounding formations. The key technology of passive seismic processes is seismic interferometry (SI), which has the ability to extract the Green's function between any two points in a medium of interest. However, since the process results are typically required to meet certain premise assumptions, the current SI methods cannot be directly used for belt conveyors. In the current study, this type of source is referred to as a near-field thread source and the proposed new SI method is adapted to this type of source. There are mainly two types of SI methods: SI by cross-correlation and SI by multi-dimensional deconvolution. The former requires that the passive source be uniformly distributed in the far field, while the latter relaxes the requirements for uniform distribution yet still requires far field sources. When the first assumptions are violated, the correlation function is proportional to a Green's function with a blurred source. The source blurring is then quantified by what is referred to as an interferometric point-spread function, which can be derived from the observed data. Therefore, using SI by MDD can effectively deblur the source of the Green's function by deconvolving the PSF. In this study, one set of geophones is located in one tunnel as the passive source, and another set is in an adjacent tunnel. However, since the setup almost coincided with the distribution of the passive sources, the spatial (wavenumber) spectrum of the PSF is too broad to be inverted. Therefore, a conventional MDD method is not suitable for this study's experiments. This study found that another PSF could be obtained from the data of the adjacent tunnel. Subsequently, a new MDD formula based on the new PSF is derived and compared with the derivation processes of the conventional MDD formula. Then, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified using numerical simulations.
Geophysical Reconnaissance for Siting Dryland Critical-Zone Monitoring Experiments in Southern New Mexico, USA
Authors: Doser Diane I. , Baker Mark R.
Published: February 2022

A dryland critical-zone observatory is planned on a piedmont setting of the Jornada Experimental Range northeast of Las Cruces, New Mexico, near a ∼10-yr eddy flux covariance tower and vegetation monitoring experiment and a 2-yr old water-uptake rainfall infiltration experiment. We carried out several geophysical surveys to help select sites that minimize geologic complexity for follow up hydrologic and biogeochemical studies that will be conducted by other researchers. First, we conducted a review of regional topography, gravity, and magnetics prior to a site visit and then collected reconnaissance magnetic and electromagnetic data to aid in planning more detailed geophysical site characterization surveys. Our initial topographic analysis using 1/3 arc-second digital elevation models (DEMs) showed the proposed area had an out-of-equilibrium curvature pointing to active erosion and possible faulting. Short-wavelength step-like topographic anomalies in the DEMs were confirmed in LiDAR elevations, and are consistent with erosionally resistant soil horizons in the old alluvial fan deposits. Comparison of 2-D density and susceptibility models based on nearby (3-8 km) hydrostratigraphic studies established that the observed regional gravity and magnetic anomalies were larger than could be modeled with the 2-D structural constraints, and established the station spacing our reconnaissance surveys would require to sample shallow soil variations. Our first site visit confirmed the general fault locations and we identified three outcropping caliche horizons distinct to alluvial channel, proximal splay and distal splay deposits in a several hundred-meter traverse that are consistent with the short-wavelength topographic features. In order to plan additional seismic, radar, gravity, and electrical surveys within a region of such high potential variability, we collected magnetic field and magnetic susceptibility measurements along two profiles at 10-50 m spacing. We found anomalies consistent with two projected faults, as well as other bedrock structures, a result significantly more complex than prior regional hydrostratigraphic mapping had suggested. We also conducted a more limited 0.5 km long ground conductivity survey with 5 m spacing that traversed the rainfall infiltration experiment site and found anomalies that aligned with one of the projected faults. The results showed deep (>6 m) 50 mS/m (milliSiemens/meter) values, indicating moister soils, on the footwall side, dropping to 20 mS/m after crossing the fault, consistent with previous observations that normal faults in the Rio Grande Valley asymmetrically influence fluid flow.

Health Screening Examinations in Cardiovascular Risk Estimation
Authors: Kóródi Gyula
Published: February 2022

The most important elements in prevention of cardiovascular (and cerebrovascular) dis- eases are screening and managing the risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high total cholesterol or high blood glucose etc.. The best way to find out the personal specific risk profile is through screening tests during annual doctor visits. Regular cardiovascu- lar and cerebrovascular screenings are very  important because they help detect the risk factors in their earliest and asymptomatic stages. This way, the patients can treat their risk  factors with lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapies, if appropriate, before it ulti- mately leads to the development of cardiovascular  disease. For many patients, screening results can serve as a wake-up call. When the regular test comes back and the patient sees and  understands the abnormal parameters, it becomes extremely personal. The idea of making lifestyle changes is not just a  recommendation in a pamphlet; it is something that can impact the patient’s whole life, habits and health. The best way for optimal  health benefits is through regular cardiovascular screening tests beginning at age 20. Because of very high cardiovascular morbidity  and mortality, early and regular screen- ings could be a basic element of preventive health care.
Changes in Concept of the European Policy of Roma Integration
Authors: Haid Tibor
Published: February 2022

The success of the social integration of the Gipsy population is one of the basic conditions of the common European future. However, the direction of the efforts has been proved to be maladjusted. For being able to concentrate the resources restricted by the economic  crises, a modification of concept has been deeply needed. Instead of focusing on anti-discrimination policy, the areas of a real effective governmental intervention must be determined. Elaborating the framework of the common European Integration Strategy of Gypsies,  the Hungarian presidency aimed rather at social and educational issues, which gave a sign of a new approach to the topic.
Support to Insurgency and Counter Insurgency Operations
Authors: Zekulić Vlasta , Žužić Ana , Piškulić Adam
Published: February 2022

Since the end of the 20th Century the role and ultimate power of states have been diminishing. Once, states were considered untouchable no matter what happened within their borders and no matter who ruled them, but nowadays, international intervention into intra–state affairs has become quite common. Ungoverned, undergoverned, misgoverned and contested areas offer fertile ground for insurgents, extremists, organized crime and warlords to flourish and consequently endanger not only local civilian populations but also the political, security, economic or ideological interests of western powers. Consequently, two separate approaches to intra–state interventions have been developed: backing the government in their fight against the insurgency, such as in Afghanistan, and backing the insurgents in their fight against the government such as in Libya.First, this article will analyze the changed role of the states in the New World Order and define parameters that guide international interventions into the intra–state affairs. Secondly, it will analyze western approaches to insurgency and counter insurgency operations through a case study of NATO operations in Afghanistan and Libya.
The Quality of the Defence Administration
Authors: Nagy Sándor
Published: February 2022

All states have to have and run institutions, which provide services — such as mandatory state functions, which also result in Hungary being treated as an independent, sovereign Country — to each citizen, hopefully in the same way. Public safety, fire department, the armed forces of the country, healthcare and education can be mentioned as examples. The state runs a system to control the connecting directive and coordinating activities, which is called simply “public administration”. Obviously, it is essential to have a cost effective point of view of the manpower and the quality of the service in the administrative institution. Thus, it is needed to study the main purpose of the service given to the citizens to maintain the standard or to develop it, if needed — by public social needs. The main topic of this work is the quality of the administration but it studies only a tiny segment of it and the quality of the defence administration based on it.
Problems and Future Possibilities of Visegrad Cooperation
Authors: Szilágyi Ilona Mária
Published: February 2022

The Visegrad Cooperation was founded in 1991 by the newly independent three countries: Czechoslovakia (as it was called then, now Czech Republic and Slovak Republic), Hungary, and Poland. The spirit of the 14th century arose. Their aim was to promote joining Western integrations by mutual assistance. They had to face several problems during times which obstructed the cooperation for longer or shorter periods, but it has survived and it was able to find new goals for itself. Its 20th “birthday” was celebrated in 2011, and nowadays the role of regional integration is larger than ever before. At present there are still interfering factors which cause problems, so I shall examine them in my study and I shall outline the future possibilities of Visegrad Cooperation.
New Achievements in WWII Military Historical Reconstruction with GIS
Authors: Juhász Attila
Published: February 2022

Recently geoinformatics has become a well–known and widely applied discipline in different human sciences. There are several interesting examples of applying geographical information systems to manage the information of various time periods in military history and archaeology. Our research topic covers modern age military history, and so it is a very sensitive topic because of the recent dates. Therefore we always used objective data acquisition techniques and an applied engineering approach. The military historical GIS database, which was created in this way, can be handled as an objective and reliable basis for further research by scientists in object or even in event reconstructions. Firstly, we had to define a strategy, a methodology, which is suitable to achieve our aims — a uniform GIS database — considering the existing and currently accessible data sources. This methodology consists of three main parts: the reconstruction of the period’s environment, the military objects and finally the military historical events. According to this methodology we reconstructed particular sectors of the two major World War II defense lines (Attila– and Margit–line) in Hungary. Beside the GIS based reconstructions of the environment, the military objects and the events, we investigated further analytical and representational functions, which can also support these kinds of applications. The methods enable various spatial and attribute queries and animation possibilities that are also useful and sometimes necessary. The typical examples of these functions are also discussed in the paper.
Current Issues of International Law in Regulating Counter–Insurgency and Counter–Terrorism
Authors: Bordás Mária
Published: February 2022

The study sheds light on the current tendencies and examines if the international law on warfare can successfully be applied in practical reality in the progress of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism efforts. There have been two phenomena identified recently in warfare which endanger the public security and public safety of the democratic states of the world: terrorism and insurgency. Both of them mean a threat and attack on the population and the government authorities. It has been queried in military literature whether these new forms of warfare should be handled by military engagements or law enforcement. This is, nevertheless, not just a dilemma concerning the strategy on how to combat against them, but should be, at the same time, all done in accordance with the international legal regulations. This study is going to outline how the international law based on the principles of traditional warfare can be applied to insurgent or terrorist groups. Special emphasis will be given to see if the relevant laws have failures in regulating these new forms of warfare, and if so, what changes should be proposed for the recent regulations of international law.

FORMATION, TAPHONOMY AND DATING OF THE NEOLITHIC LAYER OF THE CHOKH SETTLEMENT: DATA REVISION
Authors: Amirkhanov Hizri A.
Published: February 2022

To date, sixty years have passed since the excavations of V. G. Kotovich at the Chokh settlement and almost forty years after the fieldwork was carried out there by the author. Over these decades, much has changed in the approaches to excavations and to the interpretation of materials obtained from layers with heterogeneous archaeological stratigraphy and complex lithological structure. A new understanding of the Chokh materials leads to the need to revise some of our ideas about the formation, taphonomy and relative chronology of finds and objects of the Neolithic layer of this site. With regard to the Chokh settlement, such an analysis leads to the need to consider the layer C (Neolithic) as a multi-component cultural and geological formation consisting of three or four consecutive microstratigraphic divisions. Based on this, an attempt is made in this paper to correct the ideas concerning the composition of archaeological material belonging specifically to the Neolithic layer. Special attention is paid to the highlighting of the homogeneous part that is related with the “floor” of the cultural layer C, or, in other words, the lowest, initial horizon (layer C, “bottom” or layer C, horizon 3), of which the formation of the Neolithic layer began. The breakdown of the cultural layer C into different living surfaces is carried out by linking the latter to the levels of occurrence of hearths and fire pits. This makes it possible, in particular, to isolate a homogeneous part of the material that is associated with the “floor” of the layer under consideration (layer C, “bottom” or layer C, horizon 3). In this paper, we have tried to isolate from the totality of the archaeological material of Layer C, its various parts, which can be attributed to the Neolithic layer with varying degrees of confidence.
DAGESTAN IN THE ARABIC-PERSIAN GEOGRAPHIC WORKS
OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE 13TH CENTURY
Authors: Timokhin Dmitry M.
Published: February 2022

The Arabic-Persian geographic works of the first half of the 18th century are of little value in reconstructing the history of the North Caucasus. On the one hand, this can be explained by the dependence of such material on earlier Arabic-Persian monuments: we often observe repetition of information, either fully or partially. In this regard, researchers turn to earlier texts and, to a lesser extent, consider data from the text of the first half of the 13th century. On the case of three geographic works written in the period under question, the present paper attempts to demonstrate features of information about Dagestan in the context of a particular work, as well as to identify the historiographic continuity. What is more important is to highlight those plots that the authors below included in their own texts, to show what specific information on the history of Dagestan they considered important. For our study, we have selected both relatively well-known and widely used monuments, such as “Mu’jam al-Buldān” (“Dictionary of Countries”) by Yaqut al-Hamawi, as well as less popular texts – an anonymous work “Aja’ib ad-Dunya” (“Wonders of the World”) and “Jahan-nameh” (“Book About the World”) by Najib Bakran. The study focuses on the last two texts and the information they contain; however, we also try to characterize the valuable information contained in Mu’jam al-Buldān. We hope that our study will raise interest to both Arabic-Persian works mentioned here and the issue of reflecting the history of Dagestan in relatively late sources. Moreover, the very logic of including certain information on the history of the region, both in the works of the first half of the 13th century and in later texts, deserves, as we believe, special attention.
THE ORIGIN OF THE TITLE “UTSMYI” OF KAYTAG RULERS
AND THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE OECONYM “URTSMUTS”
Authors: Mammaev Misrikhan M.
Published: February 2022

The article attempts to reveal the origin of the hereditary title “Utsmyi” of feudal rulers of Kaytag (Khaidaq’) – one of the largest state formations of the medieval Dagestan, which played an important role in political and ideological life of the North-East Caucasus. The capital of Kaytag – Qala-Quraysh (local name – “UrtsImuts”, “UrtsImutsi”), where magnificent monuments of history and culture of Medieval Age preserved, – was an administrative-political, cultural and ideological center of Dagestan. The author reviews various suggestions on the origination of the title “Utsmyi”. Interpretations of S.M. Bronevsky, E.I. Kozybsky and B.G. Malachikhanov, who suggested the origination of the title from the Arabic concept of “ismi” (notable), Jewish “otsum” (powerful, mighty), and other similar names, are considered improbable. R.M. Magomedov, B.G. Aliev, A.R. Shikhsaidov, M.S. Gadjiev suggest a feasible hypothesis about the local, Dagestan origin of the title “Utsmyi”. However, researchers of the 19th-20th centuries could not find a reliable explanation for the origin of the title in question. We propose our own view on this issue and suggest that the title “Utsmyi” derives from the local, Kaytag-Dargin colloquial name of Qala-Quraysh “UrtsImuts/UrtsImutsi”, which was recorded in written form long after the foundation of the village. The medieval Arabic written sources, local historical chronicles and epigraphic monuments, however, do not mention the local, Dagestan name “UrtsImutsi”. At the same time, the self-designated name and the name, used by the Dargins in colloquial speech since the foundation of this settlement has been and remains “UrtsImutsi”. The author explains the etymology of the oeconym from the rock massif “Urga-muza”, which means “middle mountain”, on the top (plateau) of which the village was founded long before the Arab conquests in Dagestan.
AGULIS ON THE CROSSROADS OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE THROUGH CAUCASUS IN 17TH-18TH CENTURIES
Authors: Margaryan Gor Ararat , Kostikyan Kristine Petros , Tovmasyan Anahit Arayik
Published: February 2022

Agulis was an Armenian old settlement in Naxiǰevan province, mentioned in sources since 11th century. The 17th-18th century history of Agulis is well attested in contemporary Armenian and foreign sources: travel-notes of European authors, Ottoman Turkish and Persian documents. Many issues of its history are considered within researches on the history of Armenia as well as Safavid and Afsharid states of Iran. Yet many problems of the 17th-18th century history of Agulis still need a careful investigation, which may be supplemented on the basis of the data contained in the unstudied archive documents of the Matenadaran. One of the problems researched in the article is the status of the settlement as a khāṣṣ estate during the rule of Qarā Quyūnlū Iskandar and later Safavid period. This status has been considered by the authors as a reason for the survival of the settlement during forced migrations of the people of Transcaucasus and Naxiǰevan organized by shah ‘Abbās I. The later growth of the settlement to a trade-economic centre and populous town in Naxiǰevan is discussed on the basis of historical sources, and with the consideration of existence of an Armenian kalāntar in late 17th century and the beginning of 18th century. The article considers the trade ties of local merchants with Ottoman, Russian and European states, and their importance for the economic development of the town. The existence of a major group of Armenian Catholics there and the state of the town’s Apostolic eparchy in Safavid period, the situation there during Nādir Shāh’s rule and its decline after the attacks of Āzād Khān Afghān in 1752-1754 are among the issues elucidated in the article.
ELEMENTS OF TRADITIONAL CULTURE AS FACTORS OF RETAINING THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND ETHNIC IDENTITY IN DIASPORAS: ON THE CASE OF ADYGHE DIASPORA IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE MIDDLE EAST
Authors: Kudaeva Svetlana G.
Published: February 2022

The issue under consideration is conditioned by the current state of the Adyghe (Circassian) ethnos, when a diaspora, in terms of its quantitative composition, significantly exceeds the number of those living in their historical homeland. Nowadays, the Circassian people are concentrated in the countries of the Middle East. This was a result of the Caucasian War, when a significant number of Adyghe people had to leave their homeland and move to the territories of the Ottoman Empire. In regard to this issue, the problems related to the peculiarities of the formation, development and current state of the Adyghe (Circassian) diaspora are highlighted. The paper considers the Adyghe diaspora in the context of the criteria that determine the diasporality of ethnic dispersal. The author summarizes the results of studies on typology of diasporas, during which characteristic for the Circassian diaspora features have been identified. The author concludes that the Adyghe diaspora can be attributed to a single typological family, as the classical diasporas. This allows for better understanding of where the issue in question is placed in this hierarchy. The very maintaining of the collective memory is considered a crucial, fundamental indication of diasporality. The author attempts to study the issue with the consideration of influence of elements of traditional culture of Adyghe people, such as the Nart Sagas, Adyghe etiquette and ethics in regards to retaining the historical memory and ethnic identity. The methodological aspect of the study includes the academic principles of research, historicism, objectivity, as well as retrospective and historic-typological methods, and methods of concrete analysis. The theoretical aspect of the research is based on opinions of prominent ethnologists and ethnosociologists. During the research, we have come to the conclusion that in the century and a half experience of its existence, the Adyghe diaspora has managed to demonstrate a unique example of preservation of the collective memory and ethnic identity.
Equitable Rescission of Contracts for Mistake in Canada After Great Peace: Whither Solle v. Butcher?
Authors: Nitikman Joel
Published: February 2022

In 1949, Lord Denning of the Court of Appeal of England in Solle v. Butcher held that equity could rescind a contract in respect of which all parties had made the same mistake, provided that the mistake was "fundamental" and the party seeking rescission was not at "fault." Since then, the decision has been under attack. In 2002, the same court in Great Peace purported to overrule Solle v. Butcher, but in 2020 the UK Supreme Court, in one sentence in an otherwise unconnected decision, suggested that equitable contractual rescission may not be dead yet. This article explores Solle v. Butcher in the context of Canadian law in general and a tax context in particular. It concludes that equitable contractual rescission is alive and well and living in Canadian tax law.

Misuse of Causative Diathesis in Written Essays of Japanese Language Department Student in Medan
Authors: Murniati Br. Barus  , Mhd. Pujiono
Published: February 2022

In contrast to Indonesian, in Japanese, there is a verb conjugation to make a causative sentence. Besides that, there are post-positions (Joshi) that have an essential role in perfecting sentences in Japanese. This makes students studying Japanese unfamiliar and finds it difficult to learn. Various errors in using a causative diathesis are often found. This study discusses what mistakes students experience when using causative diathesis. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive analysis method. Sources of data are the essays of twenty senior students of the Japanese Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University of Sumatera Utara, and the Japanese Study Program, Faculty of Language and Communication, Universitas Harapan Medan. The data are errors in the use of causative diathesis found in sentences in student essays. The results showed that there were various lexical and grammatical errors in the use of causative diathesis in the essays of Japanese language students in Medan. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the errors are (1) errors in the use of joshi ni, ga, and wo in sentences, (2) lexical errors in the formation of causative verbs, and (3) errors in determining the subject of causative verbs in sentences.
Mandarin Vocabularies Translation Strategies Related to Export Sales of Paper-Based Packing
Authors: Quinta Avenida  , Elia Kristiani
Published: February 2022

Translation strategy, according to Suryawinata et al. (2003, p. 67), is a translation tactic to translate words, phrases, and full sentences if the sentences cannot be divided into a smaller translated-unit. Therefore, the translation strategy has a great impact on the translation process from the source language to the target language so that accurate and understandable translation results can be produced. PT. Mulia Cipta Teknologi, located in Boyolali, is a company working in export sales of paper-based packaging. It produces paper roll whose weight is up to one ton. The item is used as a raw material to produce cardboard boxes exported to some factories in China. The sales process is closely related to the use of Mandarin.

Abstrak                           

Virus Corona atau severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) merupakan jenis virus yang menyerang sistem pernapasan. Virus ini mengakibatkan penyakit yang disebut COVID-19. Virus Covid-19 lebih banyak menyerang pada lansia, tetapi virus ini dapat menyerang siapa saja mulai dari bayi, anak-anak, hingga orang dewasa, termasuk ibu hamil dan ibu menyusui. Penyakit ini dapat menular secara cepat melalui droplet yang dihasilkan oleh rongga nafas pasien, keluar pada saat pasien bersin atau batuk. Gejala infeksi virus Corona bisa muncul dalam waktu 2-14 hari setelah terpapar virus Corona, tetapi kebanyakan penderita COVID-19 merasakan gejala setelah 11-12 hari. Gejala yang terjadi di minggu pertama biasanya ringan seperti demam ≥38 C, kelelahan atau lemas, batuk, pegal-pegal, tidak nafsu makan. Kondisi ini sering dianggap biasa oleh masyarakat sehingga masyarakat yang memiliki resiko penularan dapat menularkan ke orang lain terutama anak-anak. Ibu berperan penting dalam pencegahan penyakit, sehingga keterbatasan pengetahuan dan kemampuan dapat mengakibatkan anak tertular COVID-19. Pencegahan penyakit dapat dilakukan dengan cara menerapkan tindakan pemeliharaan kesehatan keluarga melalui peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan ibu rumah tangga mencegah penularan infeksi COVID-19 pada anak. Pencegahan penyakit dapat dilakukan dengan memberikan penyuluhan dan pelatihan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan ibu rumah tangga dalam mencegah penularan penyakit kepada anak. Pencegahan penyebaran penyakit perlu dilakukan terus-menerus, sehingga ibu rumah tangga memiliki peran penting sebagai pelaksana pemeliharaan kesehatan anggota keluarga. Peningkatan wawasan dan keterampilan ibu rumah tangga diperlukan untuk membantu masyarakat dalam mengatasi masalah kesehatan, berupa pengetahuan, pendidikan dan pelatihan keterampilan. Permasalahan kesehatan di masyarakat terjadi akibat pengetahuan yang kurang, lingkungan yang tidak sehat, dan rendahnya sosial ekonomi masyarakat.
Alternative education and second chance schools: global and Latin American perspectives on its history and outlook
Authors: Barrientos Soto Andrea , González-Gijón Gracia , Soriano Díaz Andrés
Published: February 2022

Alternative Education has become a tool for inclusion for young people with particular needs not normally addressed in homogeneous schools. This article presents a theoretical review of its history, its typology and the organizational schemes used as it correlates to the regular school system. We review the impact of Alternative Education's Second Chance Schools on student performance and retention based on the experience in Latin America, Europe and the US.
Empirical evidence on English subskills approval, between sexes and face to face/on line tests in a not anglophone higher education institution
Authors: Gutiérrez-Barba Blanca Estela , Emanuelle Menéndez Alejandro
Published: February 2022

Since 2017, The National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in México started requiring proof of competence of A1 English abilities in cases of specialties, two B1 abilities in cases of master's degrees, and three abilities in cases of doctorate programs as part of its graduate admission process.(it means competence in any of the language abilities). This vagueness motivated this investigation; it is based on the results of the English institutional exam from 2016-2019. We studied data using Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and Main Components Analysis. We found a higher average score for listening comprehension and lower performance on writing; reading comprehension explains 56.08% of the overall language dominance. Even we found some novel differences for speaking and writing among genders, we did not find conclusive differences among online tests - face to face tests. The speaking and the writing show the highest correlation. We outlined some suggestions for English admission requirements.
Latent trait analysis for teacher career development and capacity improvement in higher education institutions
Authors: Lin Wenjun , Song Haiyu , Almeida Gonçalo , Godinho António
Published: February 2022

This study shows the influence of human resource management practices on the academic and non-academic staff and its impact on the higher education institution's goals. A questionnaire based on the Cranet survey was used to gather data from 240 employees (academic and non-academic staff) from a public higher education institution. A phi-k correlation algorithm was used to verify the underlying correlation coefficients, statistical significance, and outliers within multiple data types. This algorithm allows a more personalized, understandable approach to reveal the human resource management practices that significantly impact the teacher career development and capacity improvement. In addition, the use of background variables to identify the groups of respondents allows the algorithm to discern the multidimensional data for a more personalized human resource management approach. Human resource management practices involving training development and staff were correlated to the institution's goals. The phi-k correlation proved to be a suitable tool to shape structural models and latent trait analysis between multiple data types, which can overcome the drawbacks of Pearson and Cramer correlations when processing non-linear data. The presented research contributes to the literature by using the phi-k algorithm to process multiple data types. The proposed study with the phi-k algorithm is the first time applied to higher education institutions.
Parabole evolutive e problematiche attuali del regionalismo, fra riforme attuate, inattuate (federalismo fiscale, Carta delle autonomie) e aleggiate (regionalismo differenziato) .. a vent'anni dalla riforma del Titolo V della Costituzione
Authors: Gambino Silvio
Published: February 2022

Dopo qualche cenno (anche di tipo metodologico) sulle problematiche evolutive del regionalismo nel primo dopoguerra repubblicano, nel contributo sono analizzate - anche in una prospettiva comparata con le omologhe forme di decentramento territoriale dei poteri osservabili negli Stati europei a forma regionale e in quelli a forma federale - alcune delle problematiche del riparto dei poteri alla luce dei venti anni successivi alle riforme costituzionali del Titolo V, per interrogarsi conclusivamente sui nuovi rapporti venutisi a determinare fra autonomia politica regionale, impatto della crisi economica, integrazione europea e problematiche di effettività dei diritti, soprattutto (sociali ma non solo).
Información, desinformación y pandemia. Un análisis contextual de la Orden de 30 de Octubre de 2020 por la que publica el procedimiento de actuación contra la desinformación aprobado por el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional de España
Authors: Guillén López Enrique
Published: February 2022

Il presente contributo vuole analizzare l'Ordinanza del 30 ottobre 2020 approvata dal Consi¬glio di sicurezza nazionale della Spagna al fine di stabilire una procedura volta a combattere la disinformazione. In questo senso viene utilizzata una metodologia costituzionale per verificare i cambiamenti che Internet e, soprattutto, i social network hanno provocato nel paradigma della co¬municazione, e ciò avendo come rife¬rimento più vicino l'infodemia causata dal COVID-19. Que¬st'ultimo è il contesto che spiega l'Ordinanza di ottobre, che può considerarsi una risposta afferma¬tiva alla domanda, di rilievo tipicamente costituzio¬nale, se le autorità pubbliche debbano intervenire in materia di disinformazione. Rimangono, tuttavia, molti dubbi sulla portata dell'intervento.
La raffigurabilità psichica: il potere terapeutico e conoscitivo dell'immaginario
Authors: Santilli Valter
Published: February 2022

La dimensione immaginativa ha una funzione fondamentale per la necessità che ha la mente umana di raffigurarsi il mondo esterno. Molti autori sostengono che uno dei compiti principali delle funzioni mentali è quello di creare le "immagini" del mondo, giungendo fino ai più elevati gradi di astrazione. Per fare questo è stato necessario, nel processo evolutivo, che si producesse accidentalmente un salto "qualitativo" che R. Thom chiama astrazione primordiale, che consiste nella capacità della mente di distanziarsi dalle percezioni sensoriali e di raffigurarsi im-maginativamente la realtà esterna. La raffigurabilità psichica è dunque una fun-zione mentale di base attiva massimamente nei fenomeni onirici, il sogno, e nelle visioni che spesso si producono ad esempio nello stato di trance ipnotica. Essa inoltre viene massimamente utilizzata nei processi mentali creativi sia nel campo artistico che in ambito scientifico. Nella pratica psicoterapica utilizziamo spesso immagini o, in maniera più sofisticate, metafore per descrivere la realtà sia interna che esterna del paziente e induciamo a scopo terapeutico stati mentali regressivi: lo stato regressivo è inteso come una dimensione neuropsicologica della mente che facilita lo sviluppo dei fenomeni allucinatori e ideativi che sono alla base della capacità immaginativa dell'essere umano. Un fenomeno interessante in psicoterapia è che il terapeuta e il paziente possono condividere la via regressiva, grazie alla speciale relazione duale che si stabilisce: il rapport in ipnoterapia e il lavoro in doppio in psicoanalisi. Condividere non solo uno "stato mentale" ma anche quello che si produce in termini di raffigurabilità, come nel caso clinico che nell'articolo viene descritto.

Questa sezione raccoglie riassunti dalla letteratura internazionale recente riguardante l'ipnosi in molti ambiti. In questo numero i focus principali sono: (1) la relazione tra lo stato ipnotico e i fattori correlati al trauma e alla dissociazione, sia nel trattamento dei bambini sia in pazienti adulti; (2) l'utilizzo di misure nuove e affidabili della suscettibilità ipnotica, sia con mezzi tradizionali, che con il ricorso a dispositivi portatili e (3) i processi neuro-comportamentali e i meccanismi neuro-biologici sottostanti all'ipnosi. Questo numero complessivamente fornisce indizi importanti circa l'efficacia e l'autenticità dei fenomeni inerenti all'ipnosi.
