Prawo naturalne jako źródło norm prawa małżeńskiego w Kodeksie Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 roku
Authors:   Archidiecezjalne Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne w Białymstoku, Sulik Tomasz
Published: August 2024

The article undertakes the analysis of the presence of natural law norms in matrimonial canon law contained in the Code of Canon Law of 1983. The Church has its own legal system, and pointing to the sources of individual legal norms is still a topical issue. Natural law as one of the sources of human law is present in the marital law of the Catholic Church. In the definition of marriage, the church legislator points to natural law directing spouses to procreation and education of children. The law of nature is visible in the objectives of marriage, but also in various psychological conditions influencing the decision about marriage, as mentioned in can. 1095, as well as the error regarding the person mentioned in can. 1097 §1 of the Code of Canon Law. Certain impediments resulting from the invalidity of the sacrament also arise from natural law. This is an impediment of kinship in the direct line and in the second degree of collateral line, as well as an impediment of age, because the nature of marriage requires the spouses to achieve appropriate physical and mental maturity.
Perspektywy ewangelizacji w epoce cyfrowej

The aim of the analysis presented in this article is to explore new ways of presenting religious content, which may respond to the growing secularization and the decline of traditional methods of acquiring religious knowledge among those who best navigate the digital culture. The primary method for addressing this issue will be the analysis of the educational potential of modern informational tools, which can significantly aid in fostering religious sensitivity and enable the teaching of faith truths. The presentation of how digital culture can be utilized demonstrates how, in times of secularization, the process of nurturing faith can be effectively extended using widely available digital methodological tools. The proposals for non-traditional use of electronic tools in religious education and their educational significance highlighted in this article may serve as valuable inspiration for those preparing religious education curricula. Although digital culture has dominated the functioning of individuals in the contemporary world, the call for a radical turn towards its potential in religious teaching remains an original proposition and may serve as an introduction to discussions about the future of religious education.
Erfüllung (von Geldschulden) im Digitalzeitalter
Authors: Jungmann Carsten
Published: August 2024

Die Vorschriften im Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch über die Erfüllung von Geldschulden kommen ohne Bezugnahme auf Begriffe wie „Geld“ oder „gesetzliche Zahlungsmittel“ aus. Dennoch ist ihr Verständnis oftmals in entsprechenden Begrifflichkeiten verhaftet. Das führt zu Problemen bei der Beantwortung der Frage, ob moderne Zahlungsverfahren – wie SEPA-(Echtzeit-)Überweisungen, Zahlungen mit E-Geld (zum Beispiel via PayPal) oder mit E-Geld-Token (Euro-referenzierten „Stablecoins“ wie zum Beispiel STASIS EURO) und Transfers von Kryptowährungen wie Bitcoin oder in Zukunft von digitalem Zentralbankgeld (dem geplanten digitalen Euro) – auch ohne entsprechende Abrede im Valutaverhältnis und damit „automatisch“ erfüllungstauglich sind. Diese Probleme lassen sich durch eine Rückbesinnung auf den tatsächlichen (nicht begrifflich überdeterminierten) Gehalt der relevanten Normen und insbesondere dadurch vermeiden, dass die Bedeutung der Verkehrssitte für das Bewirken einer Leistung wieder in den Vordergrund gestellt wird. Mit dieser Maßgabe wird im vorliegenden Beitrag zunächst ein auf vier Voraussetzungen aufbauendes Modell zur Bestimmung der „automatischen“ Erfüllungstauglichkeit moderner Zahlungsverfahren entwickelt und dieses anschließend auf sieben solcher Verfahren angewendet.
Zentralbankverluste und leistungslose Zinseinkommen für Geschäftsbanken – ein Vorschlag zur Abschöpfung
Authors: Lucke Bernd , Meyer Dirk
Published: August 2024

Die Notenbanken des Europäischen Systems der Zentralbanken (ESZB) haben durch die Politik der quantitativen Lockerung gewaltige Mengen an Überschussliquidität geschaffen. Diese Überschussliquidität wird von den Geschäftsbanken der Eurozone gehalten und befindet sich derzeit überwiegend in der sog. Einlagefazilität, wo sie mit dem Einlagezins verzinst wird. Dies führt zu einem risikofreien Zinseinkommen der Geschäftsbanken, dem keine erkennbare Gegenleistung gegenübersteht. Zugleich belasten die Zinskosten die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung der nationalen Zentralbanken (NZBs) im Eurosystem, sodass absehbar auf Jahre hinaus keine Notenbankgewinne an die nationalen Haushalte abgeführt werden können – vielmehr Verlustausweise wahrscheinlich werden. Wir schlagen vor, die leistungslosen Zinseinkommen der Geschäftsbanken ganz oder teilweise durch geldpolitisch unschädliche steuerliche Maßnahmen abzuschöpfen, um damit entweder Ausgabekürzungen entbehrlich oder Steuerentlastungen möglich zu machen.

The Importance of Book Culture for Europe
Authors: Raabe Paul
Published: August 2024

The article reviews a thousand years of the development of book culture, analyses main factors and changes that influenced it. It investigates the issue of the present and future role of the book culture in Europe.
The author defines the concept of the book culture. The term was coined 20 years ago as an antonym to the concept of the new media. It includes everything that is related to the book: writing (registering thoughts, cognition, innovation and knowledge), ideas of books and their realisation, everything related to the author and authorship. The essence of the book culture is the production, distribution, consumption of the book and all the activity of book producers of any kind. It includes everything related to the book market as well as reading.
Book culture has historical and contemporary dimensions. It is investigated within the situation, which is characterized as a crisis of a book. ln fact the age of crisis has turned into the period of highest boom of the book not oniy in Germany but all over Europe. It witnesses richness of ideas and the possibilities to implement them as was never seen before. The authority of the book is growing together with the modernization of the world.
The task of the historians of a book is to investigate the book culture. The main provisions of the article are made on the basis of Germany, but they could be applied to other European states. The book culture is conceived as a whoie, though it incorporates specific problems.
IFLA Study on Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records ant Its Significance for the National Bibliographic Services and Cataloguers
Authors: Janonis Osvaldas
Published: August 2024

The introduction to the article gives an account of the international co-operation in the sphere of cataloguing since 1954. AI present one of the most important problems is the price of the cataloguing process. The creation of a full bibliographic record by the national bibliographic services is an expensive activity. Therefore the idea of its simplification came into being. The attention was focused on the functionality of a bibliographic record. IFLA has organised a special research of this problem. The main goal of the article is to analyse the organisation and the results of the study from the point of view of its significance for national bibliographic services, cataloguers, and teachers of cataloguing disciplines.
The author has arrived to the following conclusions:the model provided by the study demonstrates that a bibliographic description is a complex system;the model includes the variety of works and information carriers;it embraces the variety of needs of a wide range of information users;the results will enhance theoretisation of cataloguing science and corresponding disciplines;the results of the study are significant for bibliographic practice;they will influence the preparation and revision of the national cataloguing rules and further development of the international standards of bibliographic description;the study is interesting from the point of view of enriching the functional possibilities and shortening the time of bibliographic search;the implementation of the results will mean the improvement of the quality of a bibliographic description and will ensure the provision of full data.
The Centre of National Bibliography and Book Science has a task to analyse how their bibliographic descriptions fit with the basic level of national bibliographic description and to take the results of the study into account while preparing the national rules of cataloguing. The author thinks that the experience of the Royal School of Library and lnformation Studies in Denmark accumulated during research process for the IFLA study has to be taken into account by Vilnius and Klaipėda universities that educate librarians in Lithuania.
GcMAF in radiation therapy: identification and molecular characterization of the human GcMAF receptor
Authors: Ruggiero Marco
Published: August 2024

Gc protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF), a powerful immunostimulant endowed with anti-cancer and anti-angiogenetic activities, offers significant advantages when combined with radiation therapy. A stronger immune response improves the effectiveness of radiation therapy by allowing the body to better eliminate residual cancer cells after treatment. In addition, by boosting the immune system, GcMAF mitigates some of the immunosuppressive side effects of radiation therapy, leading to faster recovery. In order to fully exploit the potential of GcMAF in cancer therapy, knowledge of the molecular interactions with its receptor is essential. This study proposes the first extracellular domain (residues 1-34) of the CCR1 protein as the GcMAF receptor. The CCR1 gene, expressed in monocytes and 168 other cell types or tissues, encodes this transmembrane protein. Electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, along with hydrogen bonds mediate the molecular interactions between the TPT420-GalNAcELAK (or TPK420ELAK) sequences of GcMAF (or Gc2 protein variant) and the TTEDYDTTT sequence of its receptor.
Exploring the potency of wild sage (Salvia officinalis): UPLC-PDA-ESi-MS phytochemical profiling and inhibitory activity against β-Hematin
Authors: Abu-Lafi Saleh , Said Carine , Abu-Remeleh Qassem , Khalid Mahmoud , Akkawi Mutaz
Published: August 2024

The current study employed a semi-quantitative approach to investigate the inhibitory effects of water-extracted wild sage (Salvia officinalis) on β-hematin formation in vitro. Spectrophotometric analysis over a nine-day period evaluated the antimalarial efficacy of water and sodium bicarbonate extracts derived from wild sage leaves. Results indicated that bicarbonate extracts exhibited superior in-vitro effectiveness against malaria compared to water extracts. Furthermore, both extracts exhibited a marginal decrease in efficacy over the nine days. Polyphenols present in the water extract of wild sage were analyzed using UPLC coupled to photodiode array and quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-PDA-ESi-MS). Key compounds identified included Hispidulin-7-glucuronide, Luteolin-7-O-rutinoside, Apigenin-7-O-glucoside, Luteolin-7-O-glucuronide, Rosmarinic acid, Isorhamnetin, Hispidulin, Pectolinarigenin, Epirosmanol, Genkwanin, Carnosol, Carnosic acid, Hesperetin, and Rosmaridiphenol. The diverse array of polyphenols present in the wild sage extracts effectively formed complexes with free heme, thereby preventing the formation of β-hematin, which is crucial for disrupting the plasmodium parasite during its intraerythrocytic stage.
Who will care about the caregiver?
Authors: Gökdemir Özden , Aygün Olgu
Published: August 2024

Background: This short report is about a workshop held during the 20th WONCA Europe Conference 2015, Istanbul. The doctors and nurses a total of 42 health professionals attended the workshop. Adults caring for persons living with dementia are the second largest informal caregiver group not only in the United States but also in Turkey because most people with dementia are older adults aged 65 and older. Dementia caregivers are more likely to experience a wide range of negative behaviors or health problems than persons with non-dementia health problems. For example, dementia caregivers frequently exhibit maladaptive coping strategies, express concern about their poor quality of life, experience lower self-rated health, and report a higher level of caregiver burden. In addition, dementia caregivers report severe sleep disturbances, clinical depression, and higher mortality compared to other caregivers. These negative effects are projected back to the care recipients since caregivers and persons with dementia are interdependent in the family unit. These issues could be a concern for the caregivers of ill children, too. Thus, the reduction of caregiver stress and related problems is critical for both caregivers and care recipients. The health professionals-caregivers during chronic care begin experiencing burnout. The workshop provided opportunity to the participants to question the limits of the individual to cope with this situation, to escape the pressure to be perfect, to be able to continue to grow and learn without losing motivation. Aim: The aim of the workshop was to compile the situation assessment and solution suggestions of the participant health professionals who were also chronic patient caregivers, regarding burnout syndrome, quality of life, coping with stress, emotional values. Method: Before the workshop emotional intelligence scale has been introduced and implemented. Discussions have been carried out by forming working groups. Workshop Program Topics were Burnout Syndrome, satisfaction of life (case studies), quality of life (cases and problems), coping with stress (solutions to improve), emotional quantities. Presentations among small groups: Participations were divided into groups by using numbers randomly. Groups: Cases were shared among the groups and 15 min duration has given to discuss and 15 min duration for preparation of presentations. Conclusion and Evaluation: Groups have shared their presentations and experiences were shared. The outcomes have written through the leaflets on the board of the groups.

Blunted sensitivity to expected value during risky decision making in individuals with problematic pornography use
Authors: Wang Jianfeng , Qu Shuangyi , Li Ruiyu , Tang Shaoyue , Li Hong
Published: August 2024

Background and aims

Neurobiological models of addiction posit that addiction manifests through an amplified salience towards addiction-associated stimuli and a diminished responsiveness to non-addiction-related incentives. However, existing research on reward processing in individuals with problematic pornography use (PPU) has primarily been limited to sexual cue reactivity.

Methods

In this event-related potential (ERP) study, we employed a risky decision-making task involving 30 individuals with PPU and 33 healthy controls (HCs) to examine the effects of PPU on non-pornographic (money) reward valuation.

Results

Compared to HCs, individuals with PPU exhibited compromised sensitivity to monetary rewards. Specifically, while the HC group demonstrated a differential response in late positive potential (LPP) amplitude to various expected value (EV) levels, this pattern was absent in the PPU group. This impairment was associated with poorer adaptive decision-making, as evidenced by PPU participants' inability to adjust risk choices based on changes in EV, leading to a propensity for riskier decisions in disadvantageous situations.

Discussion and conclusions

The findings of impaired monetary evaluation in individuals with PPU may potentially explain why they continually pursue pornographic rewards while showing insensitivity to other rewards in daily life. Consequently, treatment development strategies may prioritize improving sensitivity to non-pornographic rewards within this population.

Engine manufacturers recognize that a variable pitch fan blade can provide the necessary fan stall margin to take the next step in engine cycle improvement with enhanced propulsive efficiency and low noise level. Variable pitch fans are of interest for future low-pressure ratio fan systems since they provide improved operability relative to fixed pitch fans. If they can also be re-pitched such that they generate sufficient reverse thrust, they could eliminate the engine drag and weight penalty associated with bypass duct thrust reversers. The objective of this paper is to investigate the efficiency of variable pitch angle fan in an advanced ultra-high-bypass turbofan for a long-range aircraft. In the presented paper the design of the fan was developed using 3D steady RANS CFD, a CFD maps was calculated for each of the blade pitch angle. The effect of the blade angle on the flow in the blade channel and on the integral parameters (isoentropic efficiency, pressure ratio, flow rate, stall margin) has been analyzed. 3D CFD in thrust reverse were performed to evaluate the possibility of using a variable pitch fan for thrust reversal. According to the results of calculations, negative thrust sufficient for the recommended thrust reverse is achieved, when the fan blades are rotated by 90 degrees.
Tradition, Scripture, and Environmental Destruction: Transformation of Ecological Paradigm in Rural Society of Bangka Island
Authors: Hidayatullah Ahmad Syarif
Published: August 2024

Bangka Island's artisanal tin mining activity contributes to environmental degradation in the region, affecting certain village areas that have traditionally upheld local wisdom, beliefs, and cultural values. The emergence of an anthropocentric religious perspective, predominantly introduced by educated youth within rural communities, is considered the primary catalyst for a shift in the village community's paradigm regarding the human-nature relationship. Therefore, this study aims to investigate two aspects: firstly, it delves into the contextual factors that lead to the proliferation of anthropocentric viewpoints among educated youth; and secondly, it examines how such perspectives may diminish the significance of local wisdom and villagers' beliefs regarding the human-nature connection. Drawing on data gathered through participant observation and ethnographic analysis, the research identifies two main factors contributing to the rise of anthropocentric interpretations of religious texts among educated youth. Firstly, Ulama Nusantara, the Muslim scholars in the archipelago, widely disseminate anthropocentric teachings in their religious references. Secondly, emerging beliefs regard their traditional beliefs in supernatural beings as part of erroneous teachings. By framing Islam, particularly the interpretation of religious texts such as the Quran and Hadith, as a viable solution to societal challenges, young individuals have effectively instigated a shift towards an anthropocentric paradigm. Consequently, this paradigm shift prompts a gradual erosion of traditional values and local wisdom, which have been handed down through generations.
THE EFFECT OF LOW HEATING TEMPERATURES ON CASEIN WHEY PROTEINS
Authors: Yukalo V. , Datsyshyn K. , Storozh L.
Published: August 2024

In the work, a comparative analysis of the fractional composition and resistance to thermal denaturation of proteins of two samples of casein wheys was carried out: the laboratory one, which was obtained at a temperature of 18°C, and the production one – at a temperature of 46°C. In both cases, wheys were separated after isoelectric precipitation of casein complex proteins with hydrochloric acid. Express electrophoresis in a polyacrylamide gel showed an identical qualitative composition of major and minor proteins fractions in both samples. Also, no differences were found in the relative content of the main protein fractions of wheys – β-lactoglobulin (β-lg), α-lactalbumin (α-la), serum albumin (BSA) and immunoglobulins (Ig). To compare resistance to heat denaturation, samples of laboratory and production wheys were heated and held for 5 min at temperatures from 60°C to 100°C with an interval of 5°C. The precipitate of denatured proteins was isolated by centrifugation. The concentration of proteins in the supernatant was determined spectrophotometrically and the qualitative and quantitative composition of the main protein fractions was analysed by express electrophoresis. As a result, it was established that the concentration of undenatured protein in both wheys does not coincide in the temperature range of 70–90°C. Laboratory whey proteins were more resistant to heat denaturation. Moreover, these differences can be detected only with short-term (5 min) thermal denaturation. Long-term high-temperature heating (30 min) does not allow them to be detected. Electrophoretic analysis of the relative content of the main protein fractions showed that changes in stability occur due to two fractions – β-lg and BSA. The relative concentration of these fractions in the undenatured residue from production whey is ˂ 3%, and in the residue from laboratory whey > 8% for BSA and > 24% for β-lg when heated to 90°C for 5 min. Long-term exposure of both wheys at 20°C before investigating their resistance to thermal denaturation may indicate that some of the changes in the stability of production whey proteins caused by preheating to 46°C are irreversible.
Effect of steam curing on strength, durability and microstructure of concretes with and without mineral admixtures
Authors: Li Beixing , Yang Yucheng , Huang An , Huang Liang , Guo Yuxin
Published: August 2024

This research explores the effect of steam curing on the strength, durability and microstructure of concretes with and without mineral admixtures of fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag powder (SL). Two types of C55 strength grade concretes (one was pure cement concrete, the other was a concrete made by replacing part of the cement with 12% FA and 18% SL) were prepared and their compressive strength, chloride diffusion coefficient and carbonation depth under standard and steam-curing conditions were measured and compared. The phase composition and microstructure of the concretes under the two curing conditions were tested by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The results showed that, on the one hand, compared with standard curing, steam curing is beneficial to the early strength, but not conducive to the later strength development and chloride permeability resistance of both types of concretes. Furthermore, for the steam-cured concrete, the 28 days carbonation depth of the forming surface is higher than that of the bottom surface. In addition, steam curing can reduce the carbonisation resistance of pure cement concrete and improve the carbonisation resistance of concrete mixed with FA and SL. On the other hand, composite mineral admixtures of FA and SL reduce the early strength and the carbonisation resistance of concrete cured by standard curing, but improve the later strength, the carbonisation resistance and chloride permeability resistance of concrete cured by steam curing. FA and SL are thermally activated under steam curing and can react with the calcium hydroxide formed by cement hydration in the early stage, which produces a larger amount of secondary hydration products to improve the pore structure and interfacial microstructure of the concrete with FA and SL. In this way, the adverse effects of steam curing on later strength and durability of concrete are significantly restrained by composite mineral admixtures of FA and SL.

Automated Distribution of Defenders in an Antagonistic Group Game
Authors:   Buryat State University, Ulan-Ude, 670000, Russian Federation, Dubanov A. A.
Published: August 2024

This article examines a computer model of a quasi-discrete group pursuit game. In which there are pursuers, goals and defenders. In the article's model, the task of the pursuers is to achieve static goals. Achieving one goal is possible by several pursuers at different times. The task of the defenders is to defeat the pursuers. A win for the pursuers can be considered the achievement of at least one of the pursuers of their goal. The defeat of all targets can be considered a win for the defenders. For defenders, the number of pursuers is not certain. In the model of the article, a unified environment for detecting pursuers is formed. The pursuer is considered detected if it enters this area. The assignment of a target defender to the detected pursuer is carried out according to several optimization criteria. The defender may be appointed from the estimated time of achievement. In one implementation of the model, this is the minimum time from the sample for a given defender. As a variant of the optimization factor, the defender for the pursuer can be selected by the minimum distance to him. The article also discusses options for localizing defenders at one point.

The paper discusses the numerical simulation of the aerodynamics of an airfoil at different angles of attack. Two approaches to determining the angle of attack are considered: by changing the position of the velocity vector of the oncoming flow and by changing the relative position of the flat airfoil. The value of the angle of attack varies in the range from −5 to +10°. Numerical simulation is performed with the openFoam package for solving continuum mechanics problems in the stationary setting based on finite volumes using the rhoSimpleFoam solver. The study results in the values of flow velocity and pressure, partially determined by the method of setting the angle of attack. A significant influence of the method of setting the angle of attack on the calculated aerodynamic coefficients is demonstrated. The mathematical correctness and numerical ambiguity of the considered approaches are assessed. A comparison among the drag coefficients, together with a qualitative analysis of the fields of physical quantities, shows incorrectness in determining the angle of attack by changing the position of the incoming flow velocity vector.

Published: August 2024

Introduction. The use of vacuum therapy (VAC© Therapy, NPWT) has proven itself in the treatment of wounds. The method is based on the impact on the wound of negative pressure (50-125 mm Hg) through a hermetic bandage. Vacuum therapy is recommended for the treatment of complex wounds.Description of the observation. A patient born in 2005 with a diagnosis of juvenile arthritis with systemic onset, activity grade 2-1, x-ray stage 3, functional class 2, established in 2017, has been treated with immunosuppressants and corticosteroids since 2017. On November 9, 2022, edema, hyperemia, and hyperthermia of the medial half of the right gluteal region developed against the background of immunosuppressive therapy. Since 11.4.2022, necrotic discharge from the wound in the area of the right gluteal region has been noted. The diagnosis was made: necrosis of the subcutaneous fat of the right buttock with spread to the root of the scrotum. On November 16, 22, MRI was performed - a picture of widespread edema of fatty tissue in the pararectal and gluteal region, the perineum on the right with the presence of purulent contents was revealed. On November 16, 2022, the patient was transferred to the surgical department, surgical debridement was performed under general anesthesia and an intermittent negative pressure apparatus Suprasorb CNP P1 was applied. On the 9th postoperative day, against the background of the therapy, a stable positive effect was achieved in the form of wound healing with a tendency to secondary healing. During the revision of the wound from December 2, 2022, the edges of the wound were clean; on December 16, 2022, the wound was represented by a skin defect measuring about 5x7 cm with no granulations in the depth of the wound. The wound is sutured. At the control examination on February 23, 2023, complete healing was noted.Conclusion. Vacuum therapy is effective for the treatment of complex wounds in pediatric surgery, and allows you to achieve a positive result. At the same time, the result largely depends on the whole complex of measures, including adequate surgical debridement, careful monitoring and appropriate antibiotic therapy, and also depends on comorbidities.

Yenilenebilir enerji sektöründeki gelişmeler, sermaye piyasalarında yüksek getiri arayışındaki yatırımcılar açısından elektrik firmalarının konumunu bugünden değiştirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Borsa İstanbul (BIST) elektrik endeksindeki (XELKT) pay senetleri için etkin piyasalar hipotezinin (EPH) geçerliliğini normal olmayan dağılım, yapısal kırılma ve doğrusal olmayan süreç altında karşılaştırmalı olarak test etmektir. Bu amaç için birim kök testi literatüründe yer alan ADF, RALS-ADF, Fourier-ADF ve Fourier-KSS testleri kullanılmıştır. Ampirik bulgular serinin dağılım, doğrusallık ve yapısal kırılma özelliklerini dikkate alan birim kök testlerinde farklılık göstermesine rağmen genel olarak XELT endeksinde yer alan pay senetleri için zayıf formda piyasa etkinliğinin geçerliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Buna göre, kısıtlı sayıdaki enerji firmasının pay senedi fiyatları ortalamaya dönüş özelliği sergilerken dikkate değer bir kısmının fiyatları ise rassal yürüyüş özelliği göstermektedir. Pay senedi fiyatlarının zayıf formda etkinliğine yönelik kanıtlar, gelecekteki fiyat davranışlarının tahmin edilebilir olmadığını desteklemektedir.

Son zamanlarda otomatik katılım sistemi ile Türkiye’de ilgi odağı olan Bireysel Emeklilik Sistemi (BES) sistemi birçok ülkede uygulanan bir alternatif emeklilik sistemi ayağıdır. Etkin uygulamanın olduğu ülkelerde BES sistemleri tasarruf oranına ciddi katkılar sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca kurumlar farklı yöntemlerle bu fonların performanslarını ölçmekte ve bu sayede katılımcıdaki risk ve getiri algısını değiştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı emeklilik fonlarının performans analizi için kullanılmamış olan Omega oranı ile emeklilik fonları için bir performans analizi sunmaktır. Omega oranı; minimum kabul edilebilir getiriye karşılık gelen bir eşiğe göre getiriyi iki alt bölüme ayırmaktadır. Bu ölçü kazanç beklentisi (getiri eşiğin üzerindedir) ile kayıp beklentisi (getiri eşiğin altındadır) arasındaki oran olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada emeklilik fonlarının performans analizi için kullanılmamış bir oran olan Omega oranı ile altın, hisse senedi, borçlanma araçları ve değişken emeklilik fonları için yeni performans analizi sunulmaktadır. Çalışma Omega oranın da diğer oranlar gibi performans analizinde kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir. Dört adet emeklilik yatırım fonu çeşidi için yapılan Omega performans analizinde en yüksek Omega rasyoları borçlanma araçları emeklilik fonlarınındır. En düşük omega performansları hisse senedinde gözlemlenmiştir.

Published: August 2024

Nowadays, the fast evolution of educational technology boosted by AI tools like ChatGPT urges to understand how future educators perceive its use in the education system. This study evaluates the knowledge and attitudes towards ChatGPT of future teachers enrolled in science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry) and humanities (Spanish Language and Literature) modules at the University of León (Spain). To achieve this goal, a non-experimental, descriptive, cross sectional, and quantitative research design has been carried out. A sample of 70 Master of Secondary Education students completed a validated questionnaire. The aim was to gauge the level of their prior knowledge about ChatGPT and to analyze their double perception as both students and future educators. Our findings indicate that prospective secondary educators generally perceive ChatGPT as a beneficial tool for students. As future teachers, they identify certain advantages in using tools like ChatGPT to enhance teaching performance. However, they are concerned about the difficulty of detecting plagiarism and the potential decrease in students’ critical thinking skills. These two aspects are viewed as threats to the quality of the educational system. This study highlights differences between future science and humanities teachers. Notably, educators with a humanities background are more worried about information quality, creativity, and academic integrity compared to their science counterparts. This work highlights the need to address customized strategies for incorporating AI into the educational system through specific training that takes into account the prior education of students and teachers.

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of students’ beliefs of ChatGPT on their intentions to use it for learning English as a second language (ESL). The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was employed to explore how students’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, acting as mediators, influenced their intention of using innovative technology. A total of 167 undergraduate students in Vietnam participated in the survey research. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the relationships. Results showed positive effects of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control on behavioral intention to use ChatGPT in ESL learning. Moreover, students’ behavior beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs could positively predict their attitude, subjective norms, and behavior control, respectively. The findings illustrated the potential theoretical and practical implications of the TPB in the context of learning ESL through ChatGPT.
