Investigation of the Bonding Mechanism between Overlapping Textile Layers for FRP Repair Based on Dry Textile Patches
Authors: Rabe David , Arbulu Juan Daniel Ortega , Häntzsche Eric , Cherif Chokri
Published: June 2023

Lots of damaged fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) components are replaced by new components instead of repairing. Furthermore, only very labor-intensive repair methods are available on the market to fully restore the integrity of the structure. This requires a high level of experience or, alternatively, very cost-intensive technology, such as the use of computer tomography and robotics. The high costs and CO2 emissions caused by the manufacture of FRP components then bear no relation to their service life. The research project IGF-21985 BR “FRP-Repair” aims to solve the named challenges. Using semiconductor oxide catalysts, the matrix can be locally depolymerized by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and thus removed from the damaged area of the FRP component. Subsequently, the damaged fibers in this area can be detached. By using customized textile repair patches and local thermoset reinfiltration, the repair area is restored. With this process, the fiber structure can be repaired locally with new fibers on the textile level. The repair is similar to the original production of a fiber composite in an infusion process. No additional adhesive material is used. As a result, repaired FRP structures with restored mechanics and a near-original surface can be realized. This article provides an insight into the actual steps of the development of the FRP component repair process using dry textile patches. The empirical investigation of overlapped rovings and UD material showed the expected results. Residual fracture forces of up to 86% could be achieved. The most interesting approach on the roving level was splicing the overlapping fibers. The free ends of the fibers of the patch and part are mechanically bonded. This bond at the textile level is further strengthened by infusion with matrix.
Effect of Micro-Nano Bubble Water and Silica Fume on Properties of C60 Concrete
Authors: He Shuang , He Tingshu , Wan Zhenmin , Zhao Qing
Published: June 2023

Micro-nano bubble water (WNBW) in concrete is relatively uncommon due to its newness as a technology. This paper presents the preparation of C60 concrete with 35% fly ash (FA) through WNBW and varying amounts of silica fume (0%, 4%, 7%, and 10% SF). The study examines the impact of WNBW and SF on the working performance, compressive strength, and durability of concrete. The findings indicate that applying WNBW and SF independently or jointly deteriorates the working performance of fresh concrete. However, compared to regular mixing water, WNBW reduces the concrete passing time through the V-funnel, decreasing by 40%, 39.1%, 42.9%, and 50.5% for the four varying SF contents. Furthermore, using WNBW, SF, or both resulted in the increased compressive strength of concrete at 7 days and 28 days, with 7% SF content yielding a 12.2% and 6.6% increase, respectively. Using a combination of WNBW and SF has been shown to decrease the impermeability of concrete effectively. The addition of 4% SF results in the lowest electric flux when using regular mixing water, with a discernible decrease of 30.1% compared to the control group. Conversely, using WNBW as mixing water yields a decrease in electric flux at each SF content, with the maximum decrease being 39.7%. Furthermore, both the single and combined use of these materials can contribute to the reduction in the carbonation resistance of the concrete. C60 concrete mixed with 7% SF and 100% WNBW boasts enhanced frost resistance, as indicated by the mass loss and dynamic elastic modulus loss being the least following freeze–thaw under the same SF content. According to the findings of the tests, there is evidence that the incorporation of 7% SF and 100% WNBW into C60 concrete results in lowered viscosity, a highly advantageous attribute for actual construction. Additionally, this mixture displays impressive compressive strength and durability properties. These results provide technical support regarding the integration of WNBW and SF in C60 concrete.

Published: June 2023

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be very effective carriers for drug delivery in various biological applications. In recent years, the development of hybrid nanostructures has made significant progress, including developing an innovative MOF-loaded nanocomposite with a highly porous structure and low toxicity that can be used to fabricate core-shell nanocomposites by combining complementary materials. This review study discusses using MOF materials in cancer treatment, imaging, and antibacterial effects, focusing on oral cancer cells. For patients with oral cancer, we offer a regular program for accurately designing and producing various anticancer and antibacterial agents to achieve maximum effectiveness and the lowest side effects. Also, we want to ensure that the anticancer agent works optimally and has as few side effects as possible before it is tested in vitro and in vivo. It is also essential that new anticancer drugs for cancer treatment are tested for efficacy and safety before they go into further research.

The Association of Intravenous Iron Administered the Day before Total Knee Arthroplasty with Postoperative Anemia and Functional Recovery
Authors: Jung Ho Jung , Kang Min Wook , Lee Jong Hwa , Lee Joon Kyu , Kim Joong Il
Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) involves blood loss, increasing the risk of postoperative anemia and delayed functional recovery. Intravenous (IV) iron supplementation limits postoperative anemia; however, the effectiveness of IV iron, administered one day before TKA, on postoperative anemia and functional recovery has scarcely been studied. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching using two consecutive groups of patients who underwent TKA using tranexamic acid: the iron group received 500 mg ferric derisomaltose intravenously one day before surgery (n = 46); the non-iron group did not (n = 46). Hemoglobin (Hb) level was determined at postoperative days (PODs) 2, 4, 6, 14, and 30. Ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), and functional iron deficiency anemia (IDA) rate were measured at PODs 2, 4, 6, and 14. Length of hospital stay and transfusion rate were also evaluated. Results: The iron group had higher Hb levels at PODs 6, 14, and 30 and higher ferritin and TSAT at PODs 2, 4, 6, and 14. The functional IDA rate was significantly higher in the non-iron group at PODs 2, 4, 6, and 14. Length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the iron group; however, the rate of transfusion did not differ between the two groups. Conclusions: IV iron administered one day before TKA was associated with postoperative anemia recovery and length of hospital stay; however, it did not lower the postoperative transfusion rate.
A Dynamic Interactive Approach to Music Listening: The Role of Entrainment, Attunement and Resonance
Authors: Reybrouck Mark
Published: June 2023

This paper takes a dynamic interactive stance to music listening. It revolves around the focal concept of entrainment as an operational tool for the description of fine-grained dynamics between the music as an entraining stimulus and the listener as an entrained subject. Listeners, in this view, can be “entrained” by the sounds at several levels of processing, dependent on the degree of attunement and alignment of their attention. The concept of entrainment, however, is somewhat ill-defined, with distinct conceptual labels, such as external vs. mutual, symmetrical vs. asymmetrical, metrical vs. non-metrical, within-persons and between-person, and physical vs. cognitive entrainment. The boundaries between entrainment, resonance, and synchronization are also not always very clear. There is, as such, a need for a broadened approach to entrainment, taking as a starting point the concept of oscillators that interact with each other in a continuous and ongoing way, and relying on the theoretical framework of interaction dynamics and the concept of adaptation. Entrainment, in this broadened view, is seen as an adaptive process that accommodates to the music under the influence of both the attentional direction of the listener and the configurations of the sounding stimuli.
Modulation Recognition Method for Underwater Acoustic Communication Signals Based on Passive Time Reversal-Autoencoder with the Synchronous Signals
Authors: Hu Yalin , Bao Jixin , Sun Wanzhong , Fu Xiaomei
Published: June 2023

In the process of the modulation recognition of underwater acoustic communication signals, the multipath effect seriously interferes with the signal characteristics, reducing modulation recognition accuracy. The existing methods passively improve the accuracy from the perspective of selecting appropriate signal features, lacking specialized preprocessing for suppressing multipath effects. So, the accuracy improvement of the designed modulation recognition models is limited, and the adaptability to environmental changes is poor. The method proposed in this paper actively utilizes common synchronous signals in underwater acoustic communication as detection signals to achieve passive time reversal without external signals and designs a passive time reversal-autoencoder to suppress multipath effects, enhance signals’ features, and improve modulation recognition accuracy and environmental adaptability. Firstly, synchronous signals are identified and estimated. Subsequently, a passive time reversal-autoencoder is designed to enhance power spectrum and square spectrum features. Finally, a modulation classification is performed using a convolutional neural network. The model is trained in simulation channels generated by Bellhop and tested in actual channels which are different from the training period. The average recognition accuracy of the six modulated signals is improved by 10% compared to existing passive modulation recognition methods, indicating good environmental adaptability as well.

Published: June 2023

Analyzing unstable gait patterns from Electroencephalography (EEG) signals is vital to develop real-time brain-computer interface (BCI) systems to prevent falls and associated injuries. This study investigates the feasibility of classification algorithms to detect walking instability utilizing EEG signals. A 64-channel Brain Vision EEG system was used to acquire EEG signals from 13 healthy adults. Participants performed walking trials for four different stable and unstable conditions: (i) normal walking, (ii) normal walking with medial-lateral perturbation (MLP), (iii) normal walking with dual-tasking (Stroop), (iv) normal walking with center of mass visual feedback. Digital biomarkers were extracted using wavelet energy and entropies from the EEG signals. Algorithms like the ChronoNet, SVM, Random Forest, gradient boosting and recurrent neural networks (LSTM) could classify with 67 to 82% accuracy. The classification results show that it is possible to accurately classify different gait patterns (from stable to unstable) using EEG-based digital biomarkers. This study develops various machine-learning-based classification models using EEG datasets with potential applications in detecting unsteady gait neural signals and intervening by preventing falls and injuries.

Published: June 2023

It is very important to prevent dementia by intervening in advance in the stage of mild cognitive impairment, which is the pre-stage of dementia. Recently, cognitive therapy research using metaverse has been on the rise. We propose a way to utilize metaverse cognitive therapy content as a non-drug treatment method of mild cognitive impairment patients. This paper shows the results of clinical trials using metaverse cognitive therapy contents developed by us. We collected data from MCI patient groups and normal groups through MMSE-KC tests and in-content data collection systems. We conducted paired t-tests and repeat measurement ANOVA based on the collected data. The results of this study show how metaverse cognitive therapy content affects MCI patients, and suggest various factors to be considered when creating functional content.
Selective Aqueous Extraction and Green Spectral Analysis of Furfural as an Aging Indicator in Power Transformer Insulating Fluid
Authors: Park Hyunjoo , Kim Eunyoung , Kwak Byeong Sub , Jun Taehyun , Kawano Riko , Pyo Sang-Hyun
Published: June 2023

Furfural is an intermediary and aldehyde compound degraded from paper insulation, which is used with liquid fluid in power transformers. It can be utilized as an important indicator to evaluate the degradation degree of the paper insulation and the condition of transformers to predict their lifetime. However, the conventional methods are inevitably inconvenient as they require additional derivatization with hazardous agents and time-consuming chromatographic separation and processes. In this work, a facile and green analysis method for the determination of furfural concentration in the insulating fluid of operating power transformers was developed. As furfural was selectively extracted from the insulting fluid by deionized water, the aqueous solution could be directly subjected to a UV spectral analysis without any derivatization using hazardous agents or hindrance of the fluid in the UV spectrum. The results showed that the spectral method could obtain a favorable linear relationship between the concentration of furfural and its characteristic absorbance at 280 nm (λ max). The limit of detection (LOD) was below 0.1 ppm, which is a sufficient detection level to evaluate the condition of the insulating fluid. Furthermore, the method was compared with the conventional HPLC and colorimetric analyses, revealing satisfactory accuracy and verification of the results. It is possible to measure the furfural concentration in situ using a portable UV-spectrometer at a single wavelength, 280 nm, after simple extraction in the field. This approach offers a novel and green analytical method to quantitatively determine the aromatic furan compounds in a power transformer’s insulating fluid in place without the use of an organic extraction solvent or hazardous reagents for derivatization and analysis.

Published: June 2023

Several studies have documented the presence of Acinetobacter baumannii, a known multi-drug-resistant pathogen, in the human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis. Since no reports from countries in Latin America have been published, the aim of the present study was to determine whether A. baumannii was present in head lice specimens collected in this geographic region. Head lice specimens from Argentina, Colombia, and Honduras were analyzed. PCR assays were performed to confirm the specimens’ species and to investigate whether the DNA of A. baumannii was present. The products of the latter were sequenced to confirm bacterial identity. Altogether, 122 pools of head lice were analyzed, of which two (1.64%) were positive for A. baumannii’s DNA. The positive head lice had been collected at the poorest study site in Honduras. The remaining specimens were negative. This study is the first to report the presence of A. baumannii in human head lice from Latin America. Further investigations are required to elucidate whether these ectoparasites can serve as natural reservoirs or even effectively transmit A. baumannii to humans.
Forecasting Outbreaks of Hantaviral Disease: Future Directions in Geospatial Modeling
Authors: Glass Gregory E.
Published: June 2023

Hantaviral diseases have been recognized as ‘place diseases’ from their earliest identification and, epidemiologically, are tied to single host species with transmission occurring from infectious hosts to humans. As such, human populations are most at risk when they are in physical proximity to suitable habitats for reservoir populations, when numbers of infectious hosts are greatest. Because of the lags between improving habitat conditions and increasing infectious host abundance and spillover to humans, it should be possible to anticipate (forecast) where and when outbreaks will most likely occur. Most mammalian hosts are associated with specific habitat requirements, so identifying these habitats and the ecological drivers that impact population growth and the dispersal of viral hosts should be markers of the increased risk for disease outbreaks. These regions could be targeted for public health and medical education. This paper outlines the rationale for forecasting zoonotic outbreaks, and the information that needs to be clarified at various levels of biological organization to make the forecasting of orthohantaviruses successful. Major challenges reflect the transdisciplinary nature of forecasting zoonoses, with needs to better understand the implications of the data collected, how collections are designed, and how chosen methods impact the interpretation of results.

Published: June 2023

Purpose : The purpose of this study is a descriptive study to identify the factors that influence nursing students’ ethical disposition, professional self-concept, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation attitude on bio-medical ethics.
Method : This study identifies the factors that affect bio-medical ethics by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 257 students participating in bio-medical ethics education from December 15, 2019 to January 15, 2020.
Results : The subjects’ ethical disposition were 42.21±5.18 for idealism and 38.91±5.96 for relativism. The average professional self-concept was 3.72±0.43, and the CPR attitude was 3.83±0.47. The overall average of bio-medical ethics was 3.17±0.44. The relationship between idealism (r＝.54), relativism (r＝.28), professional self-concept (r＝.39), CPR attitude (r＝.26), and bio-medical ethics of nursing students showed a statistically significant positive correlation. The significant predictors of bio-medical ethics were idealism (β＝.04) and professional self-concept (β＝.18).
Conclusion : Based on the research results, the development of various types of educational programs that can improve bio-medical ethics capabilities should be developed. First, comprehensive education on ethical principles and concepts should be provided in ethical decision-making situations. Second, educational content that can foster professional self-concept and idealistic ethical disposition should be included to understand ethical beliefs. It is necessary to apply educational programs, such as simulation, discussion, and problem-solving teaching and learning methods, so nursing students can actively participate in and judge bio-medical ethics situations.

A meta-analysis of the effect of violence intervention programs on general and violent recidivism
Authors: Giesbrecht Crystal J
Published: June 2023

Individuals with convictions for violence are likely to have both violent and nonviolent subsequent reoffences. Individuals who have committed violent offences are often required to participate in violence treatment programming prior to release. The aim of this study was to examine whether violence intervention programs offered in community or institutional correctional settings are effective for reducing general and violent recidivism among individuals with previous histories of violence. In total, 21 controlled studies with data from 17,223 violent offenders (99% men) were included in the meta-analysis for general recidivism, and 19 controlled studies with data from 8,863 offenders (99% men) were included in the meta-analysis for violent recidivism. This article extends an earlier meta-analysis by Papalia et al. (Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, 26(2), 1–28 [2019]) by adding seven new studies to the meta-analysis of general recidivism and five new studies to the meta-analysis of violent recidivism. The results of the meta-analysis indicate that the odds of general recidivism were 25% lower, and the odds of violent recidivism were 24% lower for individuals who participated in interventions compared with the control groups. The results of the present study are consistent with previous meta-analyses, which support the use of correctional violence treatment programs. Implications for future research are identified, considering these findings.

Published: June 2023

Effective cross-service collaboration has been posed as a way of improving outcomes for people, enhancing community safety and well-being, reducing social and health inequalities, and improving service resource efficiencies. However, it was not known what evidence and frameworks existed for service leads to reform collaborative public service responses.
This systematic review aimed to summarize evidence to understand best ways for police, fire, and ambulance services to collaborate to improve community safety and well-being. Standard methodology was used following PRISMA guidance. The search strategy optimized report retrieval from a broad range of academic databases, grey literature, and citation handsearching from January 2012 to March 2022. Endnote 8 supported data management. Eligible reports explored collaboration benefits between any two emergency services to improve any aspect of community safety or well-being and had to provide relevant extractable information. Critical appraisal and syntheses of findings were conducted. Studies could originate from any country. Records were screened and retrieved by one author and included reports independently double-screened.
From the academic databases, 4,648 reports were identified and screened, of which 25 reports were retrieved and assessed for eligibility, but no relevant studies were retained following full text review. A further 27 records were identified from websites and citation searching, of which three were included following eligibility checks. The scant evidence uncovered in this review tentatively suggests service collaboration initiatives have potential for decreased resource use, increased public confidence, faster responses, increased survival rates, and reduced unnecessary emergency responses. Robust evidence is needed to influence policy and practice.
Narrative Health: Examining the relationship between the phenomenon of awe and resilience and well-being
Authors: Thompson Jeff
Published: June 2023

Research has shown that experiencing awe can support people’s well-being and enhance their resilience. A secondary phenomenological analysis was conducted of data collected from the Awe Project, a 5-day, online resilience program. Based on the existing literature, which demonstrates that reflecting on positive memories can support individuals’ well-being, a practice during the Awe Project prompted participants first to define awe and then to share a personal awe experience. The results indicated that many of the participants’ awe definitions and narratives were consistent with themes relating to previous awe research while new awe-related themes also emerged. Additionally, many of the awe definitions and stories included elements relating to resilience practices such as cognitive reappraisal, connectedness, gratitude, meaning and purpose in life, mindfulness, and self-efficacy. The results indicated that explaining awe and sharing awe narratives can potentially support people’s well-being, and that being exposed to awe narratives may support this as well.

Problems of legal regulation of seeking applicatio for a Candidate of Sciences degree by adjuncture graduates
Authors: Bavsun Maksim , Mironkina Oksana
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The issues of submitting materials to the dissertation council by adjuncture graduates are mostly in the so-called “gray” zone, that is, they are resolved in accordance with the already established practice, not being appropriately reflected in the normative legal framework. Unfortunately, the lack of the required regulation at any of its levels often leads either to the loss of promising future scientists, or to conflict between an applicant for a degree and an educational organization that trained future specialist. One of such issues is the maximum possible period during which a graduate can expect to receive an opinion from an educational (or scientific) organization on the basis of which his work was prepared. Currently, there is no answer either at the federal level or (very often) at the local level of legal regulation.In this regard, the latter is seen as the most promising way to solve the problem, which allows taking into account the specifics of various branches of science, as well as individual scientific specialties, and in some cases, perhaps, narrow areas of certain research.

Purpose: Search for ways to solve the problems of legal regulation of seeking application for a Candidate of Sciences degree by adjuncture graduates.

In the process of research, the following methods were used: formal logic, normative legal acts analysis, systemic, historical.

Results: We believe that the solution to this problem through its regulation at the level of an educational or scientific organization is quite capable of ensuring the “transparency” of the prospects for applicants for Scientific degrees, while saving them from false illusions that often entail the abuse of their right.
Preparing cadets of educational institutions of higher education of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for carrying out operational and service tasks in special conditions
Authors: Gorelov Aleksandr , Vinogradov Igor'
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The relevance of the research subject is due to a significant increase of risks to life and health of police officers when performing operational and service tasks related to the rise of terrorist threat. The reason for that are the actions of armed Ukrainian formations in the zone of special military operation and terrorist acts committed by sabotage and espionage groups of the enemy on the territory of the Russian Federation. These facts make it necessary to find new, more effective practical technologies of education and training focused on forming as soon as possible the practical skills and abilities necessary for police officers to ensure personal safety when performing tasks in everyday activities and special conditions. This research deals with the issues of preparing students in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for acting in special conditions.

Research methods: to achieve the purpose, the following research methods were applied: 1) theoretical (modeling, analysis and synthesis); 2) empirical (observation, comparison, experiment).

Results of the research: On the basis of the research, the ways of solving the problems arising in preparing police officers for acting in special conditions have been identified. As a technology used to simulate situations of operational-service activity, the authors propose the use of operational-tactical game, the effectiveness of which was tested during the competition of professional skills «I am a police officer». The discipline «Ensuring the personal safety of police officers» is considered to be the most adequate for applying the mentioned technology.
Law-making crowdsourcing and its significance for establishing the limits of legal regulation
Authors: Zaitseva Ekaterina
Published: June 2023

Abstract: the digitalisation of the processes of modern life contributes to the emergence of new lawmaking technologies aimed at defining the scope of legal regulation and establishing its limits. The use of crowdsourcing in law-making activities makes it possible to correlate the positions of society and the state regarding the possibility and necessity of regulating certain social relations. The purpose of the study: to reveal the essence of law-making crowdsourcing as an independent lawmaking technology, to determine its significance for establishing the limits of legal regulation. Research methods: general scientific methods and methods of cognition (systemic, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalisation, comparison, etc.) and special scientific methods (formal legal, comparative legal). Results: Law-making crowdsourcing is a new technology and one of the deliberative procedures aimed at optimising the establishment of the scope of legal regulation and fixing it as a subject of legal regulation. There are three main types of law-making crowdsourcing, depending on the objectives and content pursued: crowdsourcing of issues, crowdsourcing of ideas, and crowdsourcing of draft legislation. Certain conditions need to be taken into account in order for crowdsourcing to produce the desired results and improve the effectiveness of legal regulation, as well as problems and shortcomings due to both the specificity of the technology and peculiarities of the public consciousness.
Correlation between constitutional and statutory norms of federal and regional legislation, regulating the status of the subjects of the Russian Federation
Authors: Magomedov Arsen
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the research of a number of actual problems connected with the implementation of normative provisions of parts 1 and 2 of article 66 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The aim of the research is to develop theoretical foundations and to form scientific ideas about the constitutional and statutory regulation of the status of the subjects of the Russian Federation as a developing institute of modern constitutional law, which is to be considered in the dynamics of its genesis and taking into account the retrospective aspect.

Research methods.In the process of research, the author successfully applied such methods as theoretical, general philosophical analysis (dialectics, systematic method, analysis, analogy, synthesis, observation and modelling). The legal methods (formal-logical), as well as sociological methods (statistical and expert evaluations) were taken as the basis for the author’s conclusions. The author pays special attention to the genesis of the essence and content of such concepts as «federal legislation» and «regional legislation». In order to assess the category of «federalism», the author uses the analysis specific to the assessment of cognitive and socio-economic characteristics of «federal relations», which, unfortunately, are often differentiated and sometimes even opposed.

Research results. The relevance of the author’s research theme is proved by the need to guarantee the autonomy of the subjects of the Russian Federation in determining their status through constitutional and statutory regulation of social relations, applied simultaneously with the institutions of exclusively federal sovereignty, prohibition of secession and the possibility of federal intervention in extraordinary circumstances. It creates a constitutional balance between centralisation and decentralisation in federal relations based on the concept of «cooperative federalism» that is perspective for modern Russia. The author’s opinion on the correlation between the norms of federal and regional legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation is substantiated and conclusions are drawn regarding the prospects for the development of the institution of federalism in Russia.
On the concept of «statement» as a type of appeal under administrative law
Authors: Mayakova Elizaveta
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Successful implementation by a citizen of his constitutional right is possible only in case of the effective functioning of the existing mechanism for considering the relevant types of appeals and responding to them. The article considers the concept and essential features of the statement as type of appeals to public authorities. Their clarification is especially relevant for the internal affairs bodies,

since employees of the departments and services of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia at all levels take part in the consideration and resolution of citizens’ appeals.

Methods. The analysis of the concept of “statement” as a legal term, the content of which is revealed in the norm enshrined in administrative legislation, is based on the methodological approach about the elements of the uniform legal regulation and the types of legal regulation derived from them, developed by V.D. Sorokin. This methodological approach made it possible to formulate the author’s definition of the term ”statement” as a type of appeal, to propose the author’s classification of its subspecies, to clarify their legal nature and content.

Results. All statements are divided into three subspecies: 1) aimed at the implementation of permissions, 2) associated with violation of prohibitions or failure to comply with instructions, or 3) due to poor-quality execution of instructions. The developed classification contributes to a deeper understanding of the typologies of statements, allows determining the most optimal procedure for their consideration and resolution, taking into account the requirements contained in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia regulations. Based on the theoretical heritage of V.D. Sorokin, the author’s definition of the theoretical construction of the term “statement” was developed on the basis of the elements of the uniform legal regulation in relation to the system of Internal Affairs bodies.

Z trzepaka na TikToka - czyli na tropach nowych przestrzeni dzieciństwa. Doniesienie z badań fokusowych
Authors: Dziekońska Joanna

W artykule przedstawiono doniesienie z badań, których celem było poznanie specyfiki doświadczeń dzieci związanych z funkcjonowaniem w aplikacji internetowej TikTok. Jej osobliwa specyfika i rosnąca popularność wśród dzieci jest dla wielu przedstawicieli pokolenia dorosłych równie zaskakująca, jak fenomen trzepaków (symbolizujących w Polsce dzieciństwo przedcyfrowe) dla pokolenia współczesnych dzieci. Badania przygotowano w strategii jakościowej. Przeprowadzono zogniskowane wywiady grupowe z udziałem dzieci w wieku 8–10 lat. Analiza tematyczna pozwoliła ukazać, że dzieci uczyniły z TikToka nowe niesformalizowane e-podwórko dziecięce. Dzieci partycypują w TikTokowej wspólnocie i tworzą ją. Aktywność w tym miejscu realizuje ich potrzebę bycia razem z innymi, tworzenia czegoś wspólnie, ale też potrzebę szybkiej interakcji, zabawy i rozrywki. Dzieci rozwijają tu swoje pasje, czerpią inspiracje do kreowania własnych „trendów”. Nie żyją w próżni, ale podobnie jak w życiu offline chłoną to, co obserwują i w czym uczestniczą. Funkcjonowanie w aplikacji jest także stawianiem oporu dorosłym, ponieważ bycie w tym miejscu odbywa się – jak wynika z badań – wbrew woli przedstawicieli dorosłego świata. Odkrywanie miejsc zakazanych czy nawet podejmowanie ryzykownych praktyk społecznych wydaje się jednak stanowić jedną z dystynktywnych cech dzieciństwa bez względu na czasy, w których się ono realizuje.
Rzeczywistość wirtualna, lekcje z tablicą interaktywną, czy edukacja tradycyjna? Analiza stopnia akceptacji poszczególnych form działania przez uczniów z poziomu edukacji wczesnoszkolnej

Artykuł jest podsumowaniem jednej z części badań zrealizowanych w ramach grantu badawczego Inicjatywa Doskonałości – Debiuty (program „Inicjatywa Doskonałości – Uczelnia Badawcza”) w latach 2020–2021. Zaprezentowane analizy dotyczą porównania stopnia akceptacji zajęć tradycyjnych oraz interaktywnych realizowanych z użyciem tablicy multimedialnej i tabletów z zajęciami interaktywnymi realizowanymi z użyciem gogli VR z kontrolerami ruchu. W ramach badań przyjrzano się również temu, czy poziom akceptacji zajęć ma związek z interaktywno-immersyjnym charakterem zasobów edukacyjnych. Problematyka akceptacji zajęć realizowanych przy udziale różnych technik oraz narzędzi dydaktycznych jest niezmiernie ważna. Przyjazne uczniom środowisko oraz metody pracy w sposób bezpośredni przekładają się bowiem na zainteresowanie uczniów oraz ich chęć do aktywnego działania podczas lekcji. Przywołane badania przeprowadzone zostały w grupie 570 uczniów klas II i III szkół podstawowych z województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego. Przedłożone czytelnikom analizy w głównej mierze opierają się na danych ilościowych pozyskanych na podstawie obserwacji, jak również ankiet. Materiał badawczy uzupełniony został o dane jakościowe otrzymane dzięki przeprowadzonym wywiadom. Podczas weryfikacji statystycznej zastosowano testy: analizę wariancji (ANOVA) z poprawką Welcha oraz analizę post hoc testem porównania parami Gamesa-Howella, korelację V-Cramera. Dokonane obliczenia wykazały, że istnieje statystycznie istotna równica w poziomie akceptacji analizowanych typów zajęć.
Elementy budowania przyjaznej dziecku przestrzeni cyfrowej w kontekście działań na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju
Authors: Pulak Irena
Published: June 2023

Głównym celem opracowania jest wskazanie i opisanie uwarunkowań oraz możliwości budowania cyfrowej przestrzeni przyjaznej dziecku we współczesnym świecie, zdominowanym przez nowe technologie informacyjno-komunikacyjne, w szczególności w odniesieniu do działań podejmowanych na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju. Przeglądu tych możliwości dokonano przede wszystkim na podstawie oficjalnych dokumentów, dostępnych raportów i opracowań publikowanych przez działające w tym obszarze instytucje międzynarodowe, państwowe i społeczne. Dzieci i młodzież stanowią mocno niespójną grupę użytkowników przestrzeni wirtualnej. Kluczowym i podstawowym elementem wpływającym na sposób korzystania i podatność na zagrożenia płynące z sieci jest wiek odbiorcy treści cyfrowych i posiadane przez niego kompetencje w tym zakresie. W artykule przybliżono cechy poszczególnych grup wiekowych młodych użytkowników Internetu i związane z tym wyzwania dla prawodawców, rodziców i wychowawców. Omówiono wybrane aspekty dotyczące funkcjonowania dzieci w przestrzeni Internetu i nowych technologii, bazując na Komentarzu ogólnym nr 25 Konwencji o prawach dziecka (2021) w sprawie praw dziecka w środowisku cyfrowym. Wskazano również, jak te prawa mogą być respektowane poprzez realizowanie określonych celów zrównoważonego rozwoju.
