Authors: Dembicka-Niemiec Agnieszka , Buczyński Michał , Mołodwicz Maria
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the study is to determine the level of sustainable development of metropolitan cities in Poland within the basic dimensions of sustainable development. At the same time, the levels of development of cities in terms of consumption were determined, and an attempt was made to identify the relationship of the levels of development of cities and the levels of development of consumption. Three main dimensions of sustainable development were considered: social, economic and environmental-spatial. It was important to find an answer to the question whether consumption can influence the levels of sustainable development achieved by cities, and in what aspects? A taxonomic method was used, which allows organizing the studied territorial units in a hierarchical manner. The levels of their development in each dimension were determined. Identifying the structure of features allows determining at what distance from the ideal structure of features the studied cities are. The research was carried out in dynamic terms by analyzing 2007 and 2020.

Published: March 2023

Whether in Telugu or another language, handwriting recognition has been a difficult job for a very long time. Handwritten characters frequently have many curves, particularly in Indian languages. With the development of machine learning, handwritten recognition has long been an open task. However, there are still many difficulties because feature extraction is a challenging job because characters are more prevalent in Indian languages. Pick a handwritten Telugu compound character named Guninthalu (a character made up of Telugu vowels and consonants) to be recognised in this essay. Since each character in Guninthalu is nearly identical to the others, Telugu. It's difficult to classify things. Although there are many machine learning methods, achieving accuracy is the main obstacle. Consequently, applying deep learning. Convolutional neural networks are being used to build a machine-learning model for Telugu Handwriting Gunithalu. Create a dataset, and the IEEE Data port will have it accessible.

Days gone by air pollution is rapidly increasing, pollution occurs due to human activities, industrialization and burning of fossil fuels. The air is polluted by dangerous gases present in the atmosphere; the pollutants are carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), etc. The pollutants of which Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) consists of suspended particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers are considered harmful. Air pollution is a major issue that impacts humans and causes health problems including heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema and asthma. previous techniques such as probability, statistics, traditional methods, etc. These methods are too complex to predict. Machine learning (ML) is the best way to predict air quality. In this paper, we need to implement models that record information about air pollutant concentrations. We compare machine learning algorithms like linear regression (LR), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and decision tree regression (DT) to predict the air quality index (AQI).

The most popular technique for identifying and blocking malicious network requests is the intrusion detection system, or IDS for short. They are positioned carefully to keep an eye on network traffic going to and coming from every device. Most networking devices can employ an IDS with the use of virtual machines and sophisticated switches. While having good accuracy, the classic SIDS (Signature-Based Intrusion Detection System) cannot identify many modern incursions, such as zero-day attacks, as it relies on a pattern matching technique. Instead, the majority of recently launched attacks can be detected using machine learning, statistical, and knowledge-based methods. An anomaly is defined as any significant difference between the observed behavior and the model.The training phase and the testing phase make up the two stages of the development of these models. During the training phase, a model of typical behavior is learned using the average traffic profile. The system's ability to generalize to as-yet-undiscovered intrusions is then determined during the testing step using a fresh data set. In order to identify network traffic anomalies, we have used an unsupervised machine-learning approach called Isolation Forest in this paper. Using the anomaly score, the algorithm finds the outliers. The KDD data set, a well-known benchmark in the study of Intrusion Detection methods, has been used for training and testing.

Stock price prediction approach using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The proposed method utilizes historical stock price data as input and trains an LSTM model to predict future stock prices. The LSTM network architecture includes multiple layers of LSTM cells, which can capture long-term dependencies and patterns in the input data. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated using real-world stock price data from the S&P 500 index. Experimental results demonstrate that the LSTM-based approach can achieve promising prediction accuracy compared to other traditional methods. The proposed method can potentially benefit financial analysts, investors, and traders by providing useful insights for decision-making.

‘But what for?’ : On the potentials of acknowledging scholastic positionalities
Authors: Junck Leah
Published: March 2023

Topics around ‘big data’ have both the potential to connect and divide scholars. This paper seeks to highlight some of the conceptual and scholastic exclusions by outlining my experience of entering the DH discipline as an anthropologist. The question ‘but what for?’ that was posed to me at the first conference I attended with regards to my research approach inspired me to think through methodological positionalities more seriously, which tend to reproduce old dissociations of that which can be quantified from everyday experience. An outline of the historical developments of the discipline of anthropology serves as an illustration of how understandings of scholarship (and relationships to other fields of study) may shift over time - and yet become firmly linked to methodological approaches as well as scholarly identities. In making sense of what it means to live in an increasingly data-saturated world and to bring humanistic analysis in conversation with the digital, DH scholars have to take active steps in opening up conceptual frameworks and interdisciplinary communication. This also means including a wider range of humanities scholars and fringe DH views. Grappling with the shifting power dynamics and accelerated changes in lived experience prompted by digitisation, I suggest, should also involve critically engaging with how we as scholars think about ourselves in relation to the methods we use, and becoming comfortable with the idea of their/our incompleteness.

Published: March 2023

Each year a considerable amount of money is spent in the production of several national and international University rankings that may deeply influence the students’ enrollment. However, all such rankings are based almost exclusively on numerical indicators weakly related to the quality of the learning process and do not consider the perceptions of the “end users”, i.e. the learners. Recently, as part of the activity promoted by the ASLERD (Association for Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development), we have developed an alternative approach to benchmark learning ecosystems. Such novel approach is based on: a) the detection of the degree of satisfaction related to the levels of the Maslow’s Pyramid of needs, and b) the detection of indicators related with the achievement of the state of “flow” by the actors involved in the learning processes. In this paper we report on the first implementation of such benchmarking approach that involved six European Campuses and more than 700 students. The critical analysis of the outcomes allowed us to identify: a) the set of the most relevant indicators; b) a “smartness” axis in the plan of the first two principal components derived by applying a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to the spaces of the selected indicators.
On the Value of Design Thinking for Innovation in Complex Contexts: A Case from Healthcare
Authors: Thies Anna
Published: March 2023

This paper discusses the use of different approaches to design in complex contexts, exemplified through a case from healthcare. Specifically, the value of Design Thinking (DT) for understanding of a problem at hand is discussed. The paper argues that a design approach based on a holistic understanding of problems constitutes a prerequisite for innovations in complex contexts where problems are open, complex, dynamic, networked and have a wicked character. The argument is made for the importance of differentiating design approaches with respect to their ability to support broader and more open explorations of the underlying problems, especially those in complex contexts. A case from healthcare illustrates the value of DT and is used to discuss the importance of avoiding what I refer to as deceptive problems. The potential of DT to increase the relevance of innovations through a better understanding of underlyingproblems is discussed.

Published: March 2023

Personalized games should provide a better player experience than one-size-fits-all games. As a method for personalization, player type models have been discussed recently. Player type models would be useful tools in the personalization of games, if they have a relationship to the players’ experience of specific game mechanics. However, this relationship has never been empirically investigated. To close this gap, we examine whether player types—as a specific appearance of personality traits—can significantly and reliably predict player experience. We investigate the predictive power of two player types (Mastermind, Seeker) of the BrainHex player type model. Results of a field study (n = 51) with a mobile game prototype tailored to the two player types Mastermind and Seeker suggest that player type models still need improvement: Player type scores do not significantly predict player experience of according game mechanics. We discuss possible explanations and a way to design personalized games that adapt to users gaming preferences with player type models.

A Person’s reactions and human behavioral information may be easily understood and anticipated if the personality traits underlying differences are correctly identified. The purpose of this study is to examine the adaptation and validation of the Big Five Inventory 2 Short Form (BFI-2-S) in the Moroccan context. This measure identifies the five major personality traits of persons: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, negative-Emotionally, and open-mindedness. The factor analysis confirms the five domains described by the BFI-2-S authors. The means and internal consistency of the five domains obtained are very satisfactory and close to those found in previous studies. The psychometric properties obtained from this study support the BFI-2-S's applicability to Arabic-speaking young adults in the Moroccan context.

Dans le cadre de nos recherches récentes (HDR soutenue en septembre 2021 à l’Université Grenoble Alpes) qui s’intéressent au dispositif « Atelier » et à ses enjeux didactiques comme espace favorisant une expression créative appelée écridire, nous avons soumis un questionnaire en ligne à une centaine de didacticien·nes, enseignant·e·s, animateurs·trices d’ateliers, poètes·ses, etc. Dans cet article, nous proposons de partir d’une synthèse de cette enquête pour interroger les représentations sur ce dispositif et les potentialités spécifiques de transformation des pratiques qu’il offre pour l’enseignement de la poésie, au travers d’une poésie « vive ». La question du corps — au double sens de ce terme, corps physique et corps social — nous permettra de mieux cibler les enjeux de cet enseignement. Comment appréhender la poésie dans un corps à corps avec la langue ? En quoi les ateliers permettent-ils d’accéder à la matérialité poétique, le poème se présentant lui-même comme corps, dans sa réalité sonore et/ou visuelle, incarnée ? C’est bien une rencontre qu’il s’agit d’orchestrer à la faveur d’un atelier qui permettra de faire corps autour d’un projet. Notre article progressera en trois temps : de quels corps est-il question dans ce contexte ? À quels corpus s’attelle-t-on ? Comment travailler la corporéité dans le rapport au poème ?

This study aims to explore the potential of using Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) as a low-cost alternative for treating wastewater contaminated with chromium (Cr) in the tannery industry. Traditional chemical treatment processes are costly, leading to many industries not committing to treatment. Phytoremediation, the use of plants to remove contaminants from the environment, could be a viable solution. The study conducted an experiment to test the tolerance and effectiveness of P. purpureum in treating wastewater containing Cr(VI) at concentrations of 20 ppm, 40 ppm, and tannery wastewater. The plant was grown in a constructed wetland pond using a batch system for 31 days. The results indicate that P. purpureum can survive and grow well in all treatments, showing tolerance to Cr. The plant's phytoremediation capacity was effective at 20 ppm of Cr(VI) as demonstrated by the chemical and physical characteristics of the medium (BOD, COD, pH, and TDS). The plant was able to remove a significant amount of total Cr and Cr(VI), with removal capacity ranging from 71.79% to 99.96%. The translocation factor (TF) for Cr in the roots was less than one, indicating that the plant has the potential to be used as a phytoremediator for Cr by accumulating it in its roots.

Extraction of essential oil from spearmint leaves is typically hindered by the presence of cell wall composed of lignocellulose which can be biologically degraded by microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermentation using Aspergillus awamori towards the lignocellulosic content of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) leaf as well as spearmint oil yield and composition, and diffusion coefficient obtained using different extraction methods. Fermentation of the spearmint leaves were carried out for 3, 6, and 9 days followed by drying and extraction using three different techniques particularly Soxhlet, hydrodistillation and maceration. After fermentation, the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin reduced from 37.92% to 19.32%, 13.98% to 5% and 27.20% to 12.24%, respectively. The yield of spearmint oil varies from 0.35% to 2.10% for maceration, 0.22% to 1.83% for Soxhlet and 0.07% to 0.58% for hydrodistillation with a maximum yield (2.10%) was obtained using a maceration method after 9 days of fermentation. The composition of spearmint oil has been determined and contains carvone as the major compound up to 77.88%. In addition, the diffusion coefficients for extraction of spearmint oil using the different extraction methods have been estimated and lies in the range of 2.89 x 10-11 m2/s to 3.64 x 10-11 m2/s. Hence, the fermentation of spearmint leaves using A. awamori decreased the lignocellulose content and thereby increased the yield of spearmint oil. In addition, the composition spearmint oil and diffusion coefficients of the extraction process have been determined.

Mortalidad de aves por colisión vehicular en la Reserva de Uso Múltiple Bañados del Río Dulce y Laguna Mar Chiquita, Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: González-Calderón Alvaro
Published: March 2023

Wildlife roadkill is considered one of the most important conservation issues worldwide. The routes that cross or surround natural protected areas cause significant decreases in the abundances of amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. Mortality of birds due to vehicle collision was estimated in a section of Provincial Route 17 in the southern limit of the Bañados del Rio Dulce and Laguna Mar Chiquita Multiple Use Reserve (Córdoba, Argentina) in the winter and spring of 2015 and the summer of 2016. We recorded a total of 270 dead birds belonging to 18 species. Zenaida auriculata was the species that presented the highest number of collisions (85%), with an increase between winter and summer. The number of dead birds increased between winter and summer, as did the number of collided species. A complex web of factors influences collisions, some typical of local bird communities and their predators and competitors such as phenology, demography or feeding habits, and others linked to human activity, such as grain transport and tourist seasonality.

Published: March 2023

Urbanization processes alter natural habitats and birds respond differently depending on the degree of disturbance in the environment. In this contribution we analyze the effect of habitat alteration on the diversity and evenness of bird communities in Cariló, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Like many seaside localities on the sea coast of Buenos Aires, natural habitats of Cariló have been almost completely replaced by the replacement of natural habitats of dunes with several species of pine trees. We counted birds seasonally in transect located in relics of peripherical natural environments of Cariló and in urban areas with different degrees of alteration. We found out that in the natural environment the diversity and evenness indexes were higher in relation to the altered environments and that, within this environment replaced by pine trees, the diversity of birds was lower in the environments with less disturbance. We attribute this last result to the largest area of parks and ornate gardens that characterize the downtown area of the city, which allows a greater environment heterogeneity that would favor birds. Faced with this scenario of replacement of natural habitat with pine plantations, we highlight the local inhabitants’ efforts to maintain an extensive large area of parks and ornate gardens. However, our results show a negative effect of this habitat replacement; therefore, we recommend the authorities to come up with strategic urbanization designs that do not harm the complex structure of natural ecosystems and the birds that inhabit them.

Assessing the presence of a Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) population at the southern continental limit of its distribution, Santa Cruz province, Patagonia, Argentina
Authors: Saggese Miguel D. , Montero Román
Published: March 2023

The historical continental distribution of the Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in Argentina included Santa Cruz province. However, for almost a century its presence there was hypothetical, based on a few, sometimes even erroneous, published records. Its precise distribution and status were unknown. In the present study, using a combination of personal observations and surveys, critical literature review, searches in online databases (EcoRegistros and eBird), scrutiny of Facebook pages and group posts focused on Argentine and Patagonian birds and wildlife photography, and information provided by citizen scientists and ornithologists, we confirmed the current Burrowing Owl’s presence in Santa Cruz province. The species appears to be mostly localized to the city of Caleta Olivia and nearby open areas, Deseado Department, northeastern Santa Cruz province, within the Patagonian Steppe and, along the Atlantic coast, in the Mar Argentino ecoregions. Burrowing Owl breeds locally there, and individuals are seen yearlong. Although there are a few recent records of Burrowing Owl at other localities of Santa Cruz, we did not find evidence of a current broader distribution in this province, as most general bird guides and general ornithology books indicated in their distribution maps for the species. The southernmost known population of Burrowing Owls, restricted to northeastern Santa Cruz, provides a unique opportunity to monitor its progress. Furthermore, it could allow us to investigate the limiting factors and dynamics of its population in urban and natural areas of the Patagonian steppe and the Atlantic coast of Santa Cruz province.
Biología reproductiva del Cuclillo Chico (Coccycua cinerea) en bosques nativos del centro-este de Argentina

Published: March 2023

The Ash-colored Cuckoo (Coccycua cinerea) is a bird with a wide distribution in the Neotropics. Its inconspicuous behavior and the difficulty to find its nests has resulted in a scarce knowledge about its reproductive biology. We studied a reproductive population in central-eastern Argentina that used native talares forests as nesting areas. In this study we provide new data on the characteristics of their nests, the sites used to build them, morphometric measurements of eggs and chicks and we report, for the first time, data of breeding success for the species. We monitored six nesting attempts during eight consecutive breeding seasons. All nests were built on native trees. Mean clutch size was ~3 eggs with an incubation period of ~14 days and a nestling period of ~15 days. On average, 2 chicks left the nest successfully. Thirty-three percent of the nests were successful and the rest failed due to predation events. We highlight the importance of making this type of data available to contribute to the necessary knowledge of the reproductive strategies of Neotropical birds, mainly those that inhabit the southern cone of South America.

Authors: Zaffignani Daniela , Palacio Facundo X.
Published: March 2023

The Tropical Kingbird (Tyrannus melancholichus) feeds mostly on flying insects, but it can also supply its diet with other arthropods, fruits, and even small vertebrates. Despite being one of the most common birds in the Neotropics, knowledge about its foraging behavior is scarce. In December 2020, we observed and videotaped an adult feeding a fledgling with pulp and seeds of Blue Passionflower (Passiflora caerulea) in Ranchos, northeastern Buenos Aires province, Argentina. The whole event lasted 3:37 min. This is the first time that this foraging and breeding behavior is reported for the Tropical Kingbird.

Published: March 2023

Maadili katika jamii ni kipengele muhimu cha utamaduni na aghalabu huwasilishwa kupitia methali. Kimsingi, methali ni kauli za kifalsafa zinazotumiwa kuelezea na kuelekezea masuala kuhusu maisha ya wanajamii. Watu wanapozungumza, methali hujitokeza kama matini za ndani kwa ndani. Hivyo, methali hubeba ujumbe wa jumla unaohitaji kupatanishwa na miktadha ya kijamii. Mazingira haya huakisi mtazamo na tajiriba za jamii. Methali zinapotumiwa, huwa kurunzi ya kuukoleza zaidi ujumbe. Zinapotumika katika mazungumzo, matarajio ni kuibua jibu au tendo; kuonya kwa kuzingatia utamaduni wa jamii; kusuta matendo na kukemea matendo hasi ya watu. Katika uelekezaji wa maadili katika jamii, methali hutoa maelezo au kusuta kwa kuzingatia misimamo ‘mikali’. Methali hizo zimekuwa zikichukuliwa kwa ujumla kuwa zinapingana na zina mwelekeo hasi. Makala haya yanahakiki dhima ya methali kinzani katika kubainishia zaidi ujumbe wa kimaadili. Aidha, inabainishwa kuwa, methali zaidi ya moja zinaweza kutumiwa katika uwasilishaji wa ujumbe wa jumla na uelekezaji wa maadili katika jamii. Methali kinzani ni msingi katika kujengea mazingira ya uwajibikaji binafsi au wa kikundi cha watu.

Internal quality assurance in schools is essential because it pertains to a school's confidence in complying to national education standards and achieving a nation's national education goals. In the discussion of this study, it is crucial to determine the degree to which Education Quality Assurance in primary schools is based on comparable research findings. The approach used to evaluate several learning outcomes is the matching evaluation strategy. In addition, the utilised systematic review is a Narrative systematic review, which carefully picks and conducts with discretion what the researcher has written about a subject or problem. As a consequence of the study's results, it was established that the education system and schools are responsible for ensuring that all students meet the criteria and using their resources effectively and efficiently. Especially elementary school, which is the foundation of education. Academic Quality Assurance is essential for attaining academic quality (teaching and learning procedures and curriculum) and structural provision (buildings and physical facilities) in accordance with predefined objectives and standards.
EUROPEAN SOCIAL MODEL AND NON-STANDARD FORMS OF EMPLOYMENT
Authors: Gasmi Gordana , Protić Jovan
Published: March 2023

The study is focused on the analysis of the open question of the European Social Model in the light of new forms of employment. The role of the social policy in the Member States of the European Union (EU) has been modified far from the concept of social justice and social security. Therefore, the welfare state has disappeared in the EU.

Prevalent ideas of the humane economy have been neglected in the contemporary momentum of the EU. When it was celebrated only economic criteria, the current development of society could be very fast, but at the same time extremely destructive, manifested in the inappropriate expansion of large-scale social problems, especially in long-term unemployment. In this context, it is important to consider non-standard forms of employment. This is even more essential, bearing in mind the huge existing problem of youth unemployment, especially highly educated.
UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS AND SMEs IN BW AND DRAFT CC OF SERBIA
Authors: Radonjić Aleksa
Published: March 2023

This article is inspired by the ever-growing literature on the protection of weaker parties to contractual relations emphasizing that consumers are not the only weaker parties which should be protected. It is submitted that SMEs lack the bargaining power, expertise or suffer from information asymmetry in contractual relations in the same way as consumers do. In this article, the author chose to analyze the position of SMEs when it comes to policing of unfair standard contract terms, as it is repeated that the protection against unfair contract terms is a paradigm of weaker party protection. The article compares the way in which the control of unfair contract terms is regulated in the BW and in the DGZ. The pros and cons regarding the categorical protection of SMEs against unfair terms were explored, and two conclusions were reached. First, the benefits of categorical protection of SMEs outnumber the drawbacks. Second, BW is more in line with the arguments that are given for the protection of SMEs than DGZ, and DGZ could draw some inspiration in this area from BW.
