Current trends in digital transformations in the context of inclusive development
Authors: Pakki Andriy
Published: February 2024

The article aims to identify and study the main trends in digital transformations in the context of inclusive development as a component of creating a fair, equal, and harmonious society. The article presents research results on trends in digital transformations in the context of inclusive development. It is determined that at the present stage of development, digital transformations are becoming a critical factor in inclusive development since the increase in the availability of technologies allows people with disabilities to expand access to all spheres of life. Innovative solutions, such as custom apps and adaptable devices, provide more efficient access to education, work, and information.
It is determined that an essential direction of digital transformations is the development of artificial intelligence technologies and Internet services, which contribute to creating an intelligent environment convenient for all users. Developing programs and apps that cater to the needs of people with different disabilities helps reduce the digital divide. Inclusive technologies such as touch screens, voice interfaces, and others make the internet accessible to people with disabilities. Digitalization also contributes to developing digital technologies that facilitate the daily lives of people with special needs. The use of virtual reality expands the possibilities of socialization and learning. The growing number of educational resources and online courses allows everyone to study on their schedule and consider individual characteristics. Using digital tools in medicine and rehabilitation also increases the effectiveness of assistance to people with disabilities.
However, it is also necessary to consider the aspects of ensuring the security and protection of information in the context of digital transformations to support the inclusive development of society.
It is shown that inclusive education, special programs, and adapted infrastructure are only some aspects of inclusive development. Policies aimed at reducing social distancing and recognizing the rights of everyone to participate fully in public life help to shape a more equitable society.
Keywords: digital transformations, inclusive development, digital technologies, inclusive economy, digital tools.
EXPLORING DATA MINING ALGORITHMS FOR PREDICTING DUCK EGG WEIGHT BASED ON EGG QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Dahloum L , Benameur Q , Yakubu A
Published: February 2024

The present investigation aimed to compare the performance of twomachine learning algorithms, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Classification and Regression Tree (CART), alongside the Automatic Linear Modelling (ALM), and the traditional Multivariate Linear Regression model (MLR) to predict the egg weight (EWT) of Mallard duck from some egg traits including egg length (EL), egg width (EWd), egg shape index (ESI), eggshell weight (ESW), albumen weight (AW), albumen height (AH), yolk weight (YW), yolk height (YH), yolk diameter (YD), and Haugh unit (HU). The Pearson correlation between observed and predicted values (r), coefficient of determination (R2), adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Relative Approximation Error (RAE) were used to estimate model performance. EWT hada strong correlation with egg dimensions (EL and EWd, r=0.752 and 0.790, respectively), AW (r= 0.815), and YW (r= 0.784). The R2adj values were 0.981, 0.970, 0.964 and 0.897, for ANN, ALM, MLR, and CARTmodels, respectively. The lowest RMSE was found for ANN (0.753), while the highest RMSE was observed for CART (1.778). Overall, the ensemble models proposed in this study yielded similar results, with the ANN algorithm showing a marginally superior predictive performance compared to ALM, CART, and MLR models. This finding suggests that ANN could be considered the most suitable for the prediction of egg weight in Mallard duck.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VITAMIN AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF ROSEHIP SPECIES GROWN IN THE SAME ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Authors: Ergun F , Yagci M
Published: February 2024

The realisation of the high chemical potential of the fruits of Rosa species, which were initially used for seasonal consumption and in the treatment of a wide range of ailments, led to an increase in consumption and research into the possibilities for use. In order to determine the usage possibilities of these fruits and their various chemical properties, it is necessary to know about the antioxidant activity, the amount of vitamins, phenolic and flavonoid substances within rose species. In this study, naturally growing ecological friendly fruits of Rosa villosa L. subsp. mollis (R1), Rosa villosa L. subp. villosa L. (R2), Rosa pimpinellifolia (R3), Rosa iberica (R4), Rosa pisiformis (R5) and Rosa canina (R6) were investigated with respect to their vitamin values (A, E and C vitamins), total phenolic (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) content, and antioxidant potentials. The correlation ratios of these properties were also checked during this study. The recent study showed that the highest amount of TPC and TFC were 142.08±2.16 mg GAE/g, 8.04±0.47 mg QE/g, respectively in R1, and the highest vitamin values were determined which were vitamin A at 397.17±13.58 µg/mL in R5, Vitamin E at 19.52±0.82 µg/mL in R4 and vitamin C at 606.53±0.38 µg/mL in R1. DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC methods, which are reliable methods, were used to determine the antioxidant potential. The highest antioxidant potential was measured in R1 by DPPH and FRAP methods. In R3, it was found that the Cu2+ reduction antioxidant activity was the highest with the CUPRAC method. In addition, it was understood that the correlation analysis among the determined characteristics of the species was statistically significant. There was a high positive correlation between TFC and vitamin E value in R1 while this postive relationship was also found between TPC and E in R2. As a result, although significant quantitative differences were detected between Roseship species in this study, it was determined that the antioxidant potentials and vitamin values of all species were high. The results showed that the important the fruits of these species would be used for human nutrition and health. In addition, the antioxidant potential and vitamin C value of Rosa villosa L. subsp. mollis (R1) were found to be very high and it was concluded that the fruits of this species would be more suitable for use in the pharmaceutical, functional food and cosmetic industries. It can be suggested that the further studies should be conducted in order to spread the consumption of fruits belonging to these species.

Reproducibility Study on a PBPK Model of FcRn-Mediated Recycling for Large Molecules
Authors: Safaei Soroush , De Brabandere Veronique , de Witte Wilhelmus E. A. , Avery Lindsay B. , Van Bogaert Tom , Sargentini-Maier Maria Laura
Published: February 2024

The PBPK model of FcRn-mediated recycling of large molecules was developed and studied by \cite{de2023mechanistic} to characterize and predict Immunoglobulin G (IgG) disposition in plasma and tissues. This study investigated the large-molecule model in PK-Sim and its applicability to molecules with FcRn binding affinity in plasma. Subsequently, the model was extended to ensure a more mechanistic description of the internalization of FcRn and the FcRn-drug complex. This PBPK model has applications in autoimmune disorders such as primary immune thrombocytopenia which is mediated partly by platelet autoantibodies, resulting in thrombocytopenia, bleeding, and constitutional symptoms. Currently, there are several FcRn inhibitors in clinical development for numerous indications that can benefit from this model. We created a modular implementation of the model in MoBi, which is able to reproduce the originally published data. This Physiome paper describes how to access, run, and manipulate this model, how to parameterize the model to match data, and how to compare model predictions to data. In addition, some inconsistencies have been revealed and discussed in this paper. EDITOR'S NOTE v2: adding OMEX archive. v3: correcting file names. v4: updating publication date.
Der Weg zum Lehrberuf auf dem zweiten Bildungsweg
Authors: Lattmann Urs Peter
Published: February 2024

Im August 1991 wird an der Höheren Pädagogischen Lehranstalt des Kantons Aargau (HPL) in Zofingen die neue Ausbildung für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer an Primar- und Realschulen auf dem zweiten Bildungsweg eröffnet. Dieser Ausbildungsweg steht Berufsleuten mit abgeschlossener Berufslehre und mindestens dreijähriger Berufserfahrung offen. Das Studium dauert sechs Semester. Gegenüber dem früheren zweijährigen "Sonderkurs" für Berufsleute - er entstand als Notmassnahme gegen den Lehrermangel - handelt es sich bei diesem Ausbildungsweg um eine dauernde Einrichtung bzw. um einen weiteren regulären Zugang zum Lehrerstudium und zum Lehrerberuf. – Im folgenden Beitrag werden im Anschluss an einige grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu diesem Ausbildungsweg und einige Erfahrungen mit den früheren sogenannten "Sonderkursen" die Idee und die Grundzüge des Konzepts dargestellt.
Lehramtskurs für Berufstätige im Kanton Luzern (LAK)
Authors: Gyr Constantin
Published: February 2024

Die Ausbildung von Berufstätigen zu Primarschullehrern hat im Kanton Luzern eine bald 30-jährige Tradition. Im Blick auf diesen Zeitraum zeigt sich, dass der "Lehramtskurs für Berufstätige" sich prozesshaft entwickelt und je neuen Erfordernissen angepasst hat. Bezeichnend ist dabei, dass sich dieser Prozess zunehmend als Suche nach Eigenständigkeit und Abgrenzung vom seminaristischen Lehrgang darstellt. Deshalb erstaunt es nicht, dass gerade zur Zeit ein weiterer Schritt der Erneuerung eingeleitet worden ist, bei dem auch das Schlagwort "Erwachsenenbildung" nicht fehlt. Die evolutive Unruhe des LAK hängt also einerseits mit dem Ursprung als Rekrutierungsquelle in Zeiten des Lehrermangels und anderseits mit dem biographischen Werdegang der Interessenten und Absolventen zusammen.
Aus- und Fortbildung der Fachdidaktiker. EDK-Bericht, Dossier 15A: Eine Zusammenfassung
Authors: Ettlin Erich
Published: February 2024

Unter diesem Titel erschien 1990 der Bericht der Arbeitsgruppe Fachdidaktik (AGF). Die Erziehungsdirektorenkonferenz erteilte einen entsprechenden Arbeitsauftrag, weil die Fachdidaktik aller Stufen in Bezug auf Aus- und Fortbildung einen grossen Nachholbedarf aufweist. Ausgangspunkt für die AGF war die Ueberlegung, dass die Qualität der Lehrerbildung massgeblich von der Qualität der Ausbildner abhängt. Entsprechend bedeutsam erscheint uns eine speziell auf die Bedürfnisse der Fachdidaktikerinnen und Fachdidaktiker ausgerichtete Aus- und Fortbildung. Der nachfolgende Beitrag basiert auf dem Bericht der AGF und fasst die wichtigsten Diskussions- und Arbeitsergebnisse zusammen.
Plädoyer für die Fachdidaktik und für die Ausbildung von Fachdidaktiker/innen für die Lehrerbildung
Authors: Reusser Kurt
Published: February 2024

Die Fachdidaktiken gehören zu den neuralgischen Problemfeldern der Lehrerbildung. Die Problernlagen, auf die z.B. Wyss und Reusser (1985) in ihrer Diagnose der Situation der Fachdidaktiken in der Schweiz verwiesen haben, sind bis heute nicht von der Agenda der Lehrerbildung verschwunden, darunter das schwierige wie komplexe Verhältnis der Fachdidaktiken zu den Fachwissenschaften. Auch die Beziehung zur Allgemeinen Didaktik bedarf immer wieder der Klärung. Das drängendste politisch-praktische Problem, die Aus- und Fortbildung der Fachdidaktiker/innen, ist jüngst in einer Studie der Schweizerischen Konferenz der kantonalen Erziehungsdirektoren (1990) angegangen worden. Obwohl die Fachdidaktiken im vergangenen Jahrzehnt auch in der schweizerischen Lehrerbildung ein weithin eigenständiger Ausbildungsbereich geworden sind und den einstigen (Stufen-) Methodikunterricht als Vorläufer der Allgemeinen Didaktik und der Fachdidaktiken abgelöst haben, fehlen geeignete Aus- und Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten für Fachdidaktiker/innen immer noch weitgehend.
Fussnoten zu einem alten Thema und einer neuen Befragung
Authors: Künzli Rudolf
Published: February 2024

Die Redaktion hat mich gefragt, ob ich bereit wäre, die von der BzL veranlassten Briefinterviews zur Fachdidaktik auf Gemeinsamkeiten hin zu lesen, auf Unterscheidendes und allenfalls bedeutsam Fehlendes. Ich habe mich mit einem etwas schlechten Gewissen darauf eingelassen, ist es doch gerade in unserem Felde um vieles leichter, zu kommentieren als selber eine Position mit Handlungskonsequenzen zu vertreten, und das erst noch in der vorgegebenen Kurzform. Mein Kommentar ist so nicht als Kritik an den vorstehenden Positionen zu lesen, sondern als - wenn's gut geht - ergänzende Lesehilfe und Diskussionsbeitrag zu einem komplizierten und theoretisch trotz seines Alters noch weitgehend ungeklärten alten Thema.
Profile, Werdegänge, Selbstverständnisse von Fachdidaktikern
Authors: Troller Godi , Wieland Gregor , Kuster Hans
Published: February 2024

Wohl kein in der Lehrerbildung tätiger Personenkreis weist eine solche Heterogenität bezüglich Werdegang, Zugangsweise und Unterrichtsbereich auf wie "die" Fachdidaktiker(innen). Der eingangs dieses Heftes vorgestellte Bericht der EDK versucht, diese Unterschiedlichkeit mit der Analyse des Ist-Zustandes einzufangen und zu beschreiben. Er bleibt dabei - notwendigerweise - bei der Darstellung einiger Hauptmerkmale des Fachdidaktiker-Bildes in statistisch-deskriptiver Form. Zu leicht übersieht man dann aber, dass eine solche Typologie die Wirklichkeit nur unvollkommen wiedergibt und dass hinter jedem Prozentpunkt einer zusammenfassenden Statistik wieder Personen mit je eigenen Profilen, Werdegängen und (beruflichen) Selbstverständnissen stehen.Wir haben drei Fachdidaktiker gebeten, stellvertretend für die vielen Hundert Berufskolleg(inn)en in der Schweiz, ihren Werdegang, ihren Ausbildungsauftrag und ihr fachdidaktisches Selbstverständnis kurz darzulegen.

Evaluation von Unterricht - Zum Beispiel in der bernischen Sekundarlehrerausbildung
Authors: Röthlisberger Hans
Published: February 2024

Evaluation von Unterricht wird vielfach auf zu schmaler Grundlage, eher zufällig oder lediglich als modische Alibi-Übung durchgeführt. Lassen sich Gesichtspunkte und Bedingungen für eine sinnvolle Evaluation umschreiben? Wer evaluiert was? Was soll Evaluation letztlich bewirken? Solchen Fragen, die in engem Zusammenhang mit dem Anliegen der 1990 an der Universität Bern angelaufenen hochschuldidaktischen Kurse zu sehen sind, geht der Autor im vorliegenden Beitrag nach. Seine Überlegungen konkretisiert er vor allem am Beispiel der Sekundarlehrerausbildung der Universität Bern, in der er als Dozent für Pädagogik mitarbeitet. Sie dürften aber auch für andere Lehrbereiche von Interesse und sinngemäss anwendbar sein. Der Autor hat in seinen Darlegungen verschiedene Anregungen aus dem Kreis seiner Kollegen berücksichtigt.

HYDRODYNAMIC BASES FOR CALCULATING THE MOTION OF TWO-PHASE SYSTEMS IN COMPLEX PIPELINES
Authors: Abdulaga Gurbanov, Ijabika Sardarova Abdulaga Gurbanov, Ijabika Sardarova
Published: February 2024

Considering the conditions for the development of an oil field for different layers, the pipeline networks are different. Based on hydromechanics of homogenous fluid and gas, a new model of two-phase systems movement of fluid-gas type in horizontal tubes is suggested and the major calculation formula for complicated pipelines is developed. In constructing a complex system of pipelines transporting both single-phase and two-phase systems, firstly, it is necessary to consider the location of wells in the field, their initial and final flow rates, as well as the physicochemical properties. This method enables us to define the main parameters of complicated pipelines, considering the physical properties of two-phase systems.
The equation of two-phase systems movement in simple and complicated pipelines, allowing recommending using this approach in field experience, is obtained as well.
Keywords: shear stress, complicated pipeline, multiple connections, diameter, volumetric fluid, and gas discharge.
ANALYSIS OF FUZZY IMPLICATION
Authors: Shamil Ahmadov Shamil Ahmadov
Published: February 2024

Fuzzy logic (fuzzy sets) possesses some widespread application in decision-making due to its ability to handle uncertainties in the implemented data and information. The application of fuzzy logic in decision-making usually involves the design of fuzzy rule-based systems. The functioning of the designed fuzzy systems can be compactly defined as the fuzzy inference process. One of the main steps of fuzzy inference is fuzzy implication, and, therefore, the selection of proper implication function possesses the great impact on the corresponding decision-making process. The currently reported research provides a comparative analysis on two fuzzy implications: Ali-2 and Zadeh. The reported research involves the application of an efficiency index and is performed on a real-world example.

Published: February 2024

A short list of existing methods for the prevention and removal of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits from oilfield equipment is given. Chemical methods related to the use of various additives, reagents, and remover agents are discussed in more detail. A brief description of the main classes of chemicals used in solving the problem of preventing and removing asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits is given. It has been shown that in order to select the most chemically effective ways to prevent and remove organic deposits, it is necessary to obtain an adequate understanding of the composition, properties, and structure of the source oil and the formed deposits. The mechanism of action of the reagents on asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits was clarified, and it was established that the reagents BAF-1 and BAF-2 (technical conditional name of composites) when interacting with the deposits, grind the associates and ensure their uniform distribution in the oil, which improves the rheological properties of the oil. It is indicated that the technology being put forward is based on the clathrate formation, i.e. Lewis's theory of "host-guest".
Keywords: asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits, crushing, factors affecting the formation of ARPD, coagulation, the chemical composition of oil, mechanism of ARPD formation, methods of ARPD control.
INVESTIGATION OF PRECIPITATION KINETICS OF VARIOUS BALLASTS IN "UNDESIRABLE" OIL MIXTURES
Authors: Fidan Ismayilova, Gulnara Zeynalova Fidan Ismayilova, Gulnara Zeynalova , Khadija Jahangirova Khadija Jahangirova
Published: February 2024

Research results in recent years show that there are specific problems associated with blending different types of crude oil. Incompatibility of mixed oils, in particular, can lead to clogging and sometimes even shutdown of pipeline systems. One of the reasons that causes the immiscibility of various crude oils, is the presence of solid organic matter in the form of precipitated resins and asphaltenes in the mixture of oils. These are ballast substances, that often precipitate from the solution of a mixture of oils. In order to study the influence of the mixing factor of crude oils on the quality characteristics of oils, various samples of oils and their mixtures were studied in laboratory conditions. It was found that when mixing oils, nonlinear deviations in the properties of the mixture occur and noticeable anomalies in changes in quality indicators can be expressed in oil mixtures. In this case, the content of ballasts such as resin and asphaltenes in the mixture does not change according to the additivity rule.
In the article, we studied the precipitation kinetics of various ballasts (resins, asphaltenes , and paraffins, as well as water, salts, and mechanical mixtures) in "undesirable" mixtures of oils. It was found that the bulk of all ballasts precipitate within 8–10 hours. Studies have shown that, depending on the chemical composition of oils, their formation of "undesirable" mixtures can also occur in the intensive deposition of various ballasts.
Keywords: oil mixing, physical and chemical properties, mechanical mixtures, ballast deposition, asphaltenes.
Seeing lies and laying blame: Partisanship and U.S. public perceptions about disinformation

Published: February 2024

Using data from a nationally representative survey of 2,036 U.S. adults, we analyze partisan perceptions of the risk disinformation poses U.S. government and society, as well as the actors viewed as responsible for and harmed by disinformation. Our findings indicate relatively high concern about disinformation across a variety of societal issues, with broad bipartisan agreement that disinformation poses significant risks and causes harms to several groups. However, agreement ends there. Republicans and Democrats fundamentally disagree on who is responsible. We discuss the implications of this disagreement for understanding disinformation as a policy problem and the implications for policy solutions.
Effect of Thinning on the Diameter Increment in Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) Stands
Authors: Rédei Károly , Meilby Henrik
Published: February 2024

Black locust is one of the most important stand forming tree species in Hungary, covering approximately 23% of the forested land (410 thousand ha) and providing 23% of the annual timber cut of the country. Hence, during the past two decades several experiments with this species have been carried out in the country. This paper investigates the influence of thinning on the diameter increment in an experiment including four plots. One plot was left as an unthinned control plot and three plots were thinned with various thinning intensities at age 22. The experiment was measured at ages 22, 27, 32, and 36. Apparently the thinning intensities applied on two of the plots did not come up to the intensity required to influence the diameter growth of the remaining upper-storey trees. Therefore, for a given tree size the growth of the trees on these two plots did not differ significantly from the growth of similar trees in the unthinned plot. By contrast, significant thinning effects on the diameter increment of individual trees were observed on the most heavily thinned plot. Here the diameter increment was enhanced for trees with diameters of less than 20 cm, whereas the largest trees of the stand exhibited moderately increased growth. Apparently a stand density corresponding to the heavy thinning treatment (Fw values of 22-23) is required to get a significant thinning response. On the other hand, to avoid thinning shocks, it may be recommendable to apply two moderate thinning treatments instead of a single heavy one.

Published: February 2024

Red deer (Cervus elaphus) were fitted with GPS collars to estimate their habitat use and feeding ethology. The purpose of the study was to find methods to reduce crop damage caused by deer. The collars were programmed to produce an hourly recording of position. Two different types of habitat were studied: a) An undisturbed and variable habitat (Zala County), b) A less variable area much disturbed by human activities (Sopron mountains). Comparisons were made between 1) the expansion of home range, 2) the intensity of open habitats use, and 3) the activity patterns of marked individuals in the two areas. The seasonal change of size of the home ranges showed similar dynamics in the two regions. The summer home range was always smaller than the autumn-winter ranges. In Zala County, the winter range often overlapped the summer range. In the Sopron mountain area, there was a definite home range shift. The summer home ranges in the Sopron area were examined using the 60 % Kernel method where differences were usually found between the day and night-time home areas. In the Zala region the phenomenon was not observed. The autumn-winter home range of stags is larger than that of hinds particularly in the summer. Examined with the minimum convex polygon method the difference is even larger than the results obtained from the Kernel method, which focuses on density distribution. This shows that the autumn-winter movements mostly represent rambling and only in a lesser, but still significant extent derive from the real extension of home ranges. Large differences existed at regional and individual levels regarding the use of the open habitats. The red deer in Zala used the open habitats in a more intensive way than those in Sopron. The daytime activity of the Sopron stags was less than that of the Zala stags.

Introduction: Chemotherapy is scientifically demonstrated as an effective modality for childhood cancers. However, despite its therapeutic effects, chemotherapy can induce unpleasant side effects. These adverse effects often cause readmissions and trigger stressful, frightening, and painful experiences. These dreadful conditions may cumulatively affect the quality of life. Family social support has been widely mentioned as a significant factor affecting childhood cancer survivors’ quality of life. That being said, an adequate level of knowledge is needed to achieve the ideal family support for the children. For a long time, the standard method applied for knowledge improvement was direct health education and counseling. However, electronic health education is now considered an excellent alternative to the standard method. This study examined the effect of the CERIA e-module application as an electronic health education media for childhood cancer survivors and their parents and the effectiveness of CERIA e-module in improving parents’ knowledge and family support practice for childhood cancer survivors.
