Human-Computer Interaction in the Era of Advanced Artificial Intelligence Language Models
Authors: Łęski Zbigniew
Published: July 2024

The end of 2022 and the year 2023 saw the release and widespread adoption of publicly available, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) language models. These models can not only hold conversations with users, but also search and analyze information, translate texts, create graphics, write essays, and more. The possible applications are growing, and the models are constantly evolving and improving. As a result, the issue of human-computer interaction has reached a new, previously unknown, level. Now, it is possible to engage in true interaction with a tool. It can also be said that in a conversation, it will exhibit certain traits that could be classified as personality traits.In this paper, several AI language models were invited to participate in an experiment involving the completion of an egogram, a tool used in transactional analysis to determine the profile of the subject's ego states at the level of functional analysis. The results obtained indicate that currently available AI can be persuaded to participate in such an experiment, can answer all of the egogram statements, and these are not random answers. Based on the results, it is possible to determine the AI's ego stateprofile.
Existential attitudes of academic youth in a post-pandemic digital society
Authors: Nowak Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

The aim of this article was to determine the existential attitude of academic youth. The research was undertaken to determine the direction of this attitude and to what extent it depends on their sense of satisfaction with life, selected demographic and Internet use variables. The theoretical foundation of the research was based on the assumptions of existential psychology and philosophy. Tools such as Grulkowski's To Be and Have Attitude Scale (SPBiM), Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) developedby Juczyński and a personal data questionnaire were used. The research group consisted of a total of 198 students. The results of the research showed that academic youth in general are characterisedby an average degree of existential attitude (“to be” and “to have” at the same time). Statistical analyses made it possible to identify its main correlates and determinants. The higher the age of the respondents, the education of the father and the better the relationship with him, as well as the greater number of friends they had and the more religious they were, the stronger the attitude “to be” was. On the other hand, a negative correlation occurred in relation to time spent online; the greater the number of hours spent online, the more the students were characterisedby “to have” attitude. The results indicate that the variables of age, religiosity, father figure and interpersonal relationships are important in shaping the attitude “to be”, while excessive digital activity favoursthe attitude “to have”.
Multicultural school. Students’ identity and value system
Authors: Kropiewnicka-Mielko Anna
Published: July 2024

The article presents the phenomenon of multiculturalism and multicultural and intercultural education on the basis of publications by J. Nikitorowicz, J. A. Banks, M. A. Gibson and other authors, as well as own research on the system of values and identity identification of students of the Canadian School in Warsaw. The article attempts to diagnose the system of values and identity of students of the Canadian School and compares the results of the research with the results of other researchers. The research shows what students of the multicultural school identify with and which values are most important to them. Presenting the system of values of young students, the author drew attention to the fact that the respondents highly value health, freedom, social values such as goodness, honesty, respect, safety and love. Identity self-identifications refer to declarations related to gender, sense of identity of national, European, global, religious and traditional nature. The value system and self-identifications of the students of the Canadian School prove that young people in a multicultural school are open-minded, modern and feel first and foremost citizens of the world.
(Non) aggressive, (non) violent computer games – definitional challenges
Authors: Mikołajewska Izabela , Mikołajewska-Furmanek Agata
Published: July 2024

The primary goal of this research endeavor is to delineate the challenges associated with classifying computer games as “aggressive or violent”. These terms are frequently invoked in media and public discourse, particularly concerning the influence of computer games on aggressive behaviours, such as those observed in mass shooting incidents. However, both a comprehensive literature review and the findings derived from this study affirm the absence of definitive criteria for characterising what truly constitutes “aggressive or violent” computer games. The data underscore the necessity for deliberation in defining the categories of aggression or violence within gaming spheres, enabling a clear demarcation between so-called aggressive or violent computer games and other types. This delineation is crucial given that most games center around competition or resolving diverse conflict scenarios, wherein various forms of aggression or violence are employed—for instance, the act of fouling a player in FIFA, a simulation of football. The research focused on computer players aged 13-14 and were selected for participation based on their behaviour related to computer games.

Published: July 2024

The aim of the conducted research was to determine how academic teachers-tutors conducting tutoring activities understand the term tutoring. The research material comprised transcripts of a focus interview conducted in February 2022 with tutors participating in the programme“Masters of Didactics -Implementation of the Tutoring Model” at the Maria Grzegorzewska University. The transcripts were prepared by the researchers who authored this text. The study's results were analysed using the qualitative approach of semantic field analysis, which was developed by Regine Robin and her colleagues and modified by Barbara Fatyga. The theoretical foundation for this study is based on semantic field theory. The analysis process employed the qualitative data analysis software MAXQDA. The conclusions drawn from the analysis suggest that reconstructing the network of meanings can lead to a more accurate understanding of the term tutoring from the perspective of the university teachers-tutors participating in the programme.

Sanat, sadece galerilerde sergilenen eserlerle sınırlı değildir. Günümüzde, insanlar sanatı yaşamlarının her alanında keşfetmek ve deneyimlemek için farklı yollar bulmaktadırlar. Sanat pratiklerindeki değişim, izleyicinin daha fazla katılımının ön plana çıktığı, iş birliğine dayalı deneyimlerin artmasıyla izlenmektedir. Geçmiş sanat hareketlerinden ilham alan katılımcı pratikler, günümüzde mikro-ütopik ve eylem barındıran birer sanatsal projeye dönüşmektedir. Bu tür projeler, geleneksel sanatçı-izleyici ilişkisini yıkarak günümüzde sanatın iyileştirici ve yaşam kalitesini arttırıcı etkilerine odaklanmaktadır. Katılımcı sanatın, geleneksel sanat uygulamalarından farklı olarak hiyerarşik olmayan bir ortam sağlayarak bireylerin özgürleşebileceği bir alana dönüşmektedir. Alışveriş merkezleri, sohbet odaları ve sinema salonları gibi çeşitli mekanlar, insanların bir araya gelip etkileşime geçtiği yerler olduğu gibi sanat mekanlarına da dönüşmektedirler. Bu değişim, bu makalede de alışveriş merkezinde, sinema salonunda, sohbet odasında kadınlarla gerçekleştirilen örgü etkinlikleri gibi toplumsal etkinliklerle kendini gösteren mikro-ütopyanın açılımını yapacaktır. Bu üç mekânda insanları bir araya getirerek örgü örme etkinliğinin katılımcı sanat perspektifinden değerlendirilmesi ele alınmıştır. Etkinlik, Bourriaud'nun ilişkisel estetik kavramına uygun olarak, sanatı toplumsal karşılaşmalar ve etkileşimler yoluyla anlamlandırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, katılımcı sanatın bireylerde psikolojik dayanıklılığı artırma potansiyeline ve yaşama anlam katan bir deneyim sunma yeteneğine odaklanarak, sosyal bağları güçlendirme ve kolektif bilinç oluşturma süreçlerine nasıl katkıda bulunabileceğine odaklanırken ayrıca özellikle katılımcı sanatın yaşanan olumsuzlukların (deprem) bireylerin iyileşme süreçlerini nasıl destekleyebileceğini de ele almaktadır.
CAN THE DEATH PENALTY STILL BE CONSIDERED A “CRUEL, INHUMANE AND DEGRADING PUNISHMENT” IN THE FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN PRISON CONDITIONS?
Authors: Llewelyn Gray Curlewis  , Katelyn-Mae Carter
Published: July 2024

The use of the death penalty as a form of punishment can be traced back to the earliest human civilisations. South Africa was no stranger to this punishment, and it was only abolished here in 1995. South Africa accepted this form of punishment through its colonisation by the English. The Union of South Africa made use of hangings throughout the 1900s; an average of 4 000 executions were implemented over an 80-year period (Cronje (ed) “Capital Punishment in South Africa: Was Abolition the Right Decision? Is There a Case for South Africa to Reintroduce the Death Penalty?” South African Institute for Race Relations 2016 1. In 1989, President FW de Klerk placed a moratorium on the physical implementation of executions during the negotiations of the Convention for a Democratic South Africa (Cronje South African Institute for Race Relations 1). The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 200 of 1993 (Interim Constitution) was adopted during these negotiations; while it contained a comprehensive bill of rights, it did not address the use of capital punishment.The fate of the death penalty was left to the courts to address in 1995 in the landmark case of S v Makwanyane and Mchunu ((1995) 6 BCLR 665). Chaskalson J stated that section 277(1)(a) of the Criminal Procedure Act (51 of 1977) was unconstitutional with reference to the following rights: section 9 (life); section 10 (dignity) and section 8(1) (equality before the law). He stated that the reasoning for this decision was that the imposition of the death penalty amounted to a cruel, inhumane or degrading punishment inconsistent with the right to life and human dignity. Moreover, this punishment cannot be reversed in the case of error or enforced in a manner that is not arbitrary. However, in the 28 years since this decision was made, South Africa has experienced an escalation in violent and sexual crimes, including murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, rape and kidnapping. With this in mind, South Africans are left to question whether our courts should be implementing more serious sentences for these crimes and whether the decision made by Chaskalson J was correct.
This note focuses specifically on the understanding of the term “cruel, inhumane and degrading punishment”, and examines the present conditions of life imprisonment in a South African prison in order to determine whether the death penalty can still be considered a non-viable punishment (based on the interpretation of this term).

The preservation of foods such as milk, meat, and vegetables through fermentation results in products like yogurt, cheese, pickles, sausages, and silage with an extended shelf life compared to their natural unprocessed counterparts. This work aims to formulate a mathematical model of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that accounts for both the physicochemical and microbiological parameters affecting biomass kinetics [B(t)], acidity [A(t)], and viscosity [V(t)] as a function of temperature across different yogurt samples. In order to validate the efficacy of the model in predicting yogurt shelf life, we compared its fitting results with commonly employed systems or equations, including the Weibull model, the Reaction Order model, the Arrhenius Equation, and the Q10 Factor. Our evaluation, based on R-squared (R2) values exceeding 0.95, demonstrates the robustness of the proposed model. Furthermore, all parameters were estimated along with their corresponding 95 % confidence intervals. The mathematical model estimates the dynamic of each of the physicochemical and microbiological parameters which will help to predict the behavior over time of the shelf life of yogurt at different temperatures.

Published: July 2024

Monitoring of heart rate (HR) and its dynamics is necessary in ambulatory and telemedicine for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) allows for HR and its dynamics monitoring by video analysis of facial skin blood flow, and is ofparticular importance for patients with delicate skin such as infants, the elderly, or those with severe burn injuries. Unlike other contactless HR measurement methods, rPPG does not require special hardware, but allows to monitor HR on the basis of analyzing a sequence of video images of a person's face. rPPG involves a multi-step process including signal extraction, dimensionality reduction to estimate the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal, and subsequent HR estimation. However, the presence of high-amplitude spikes due to subject movement, facial expressions, lighting fluctuations, video compression artifacts, ROI tracking errors, among others, can interfere the useful PPG signal, leading to inaccurate HR estimations. A method has been developed that allows to increase the accuracy of HR estimation in the rPPG problem due to its robustness to interferences inevitable during video recording. The proposed approach tackles the rPPG challenge by applying a pre-processing approximation of the signal finite difference using a single-layer neural network with radial basis function (RBF) inner layer. Transitioning to the signal finite difference helps reduce the amplitudes of irrelevant low-frequency peaks within the HR search range, thus avoiding their masking effect on the HR-related spectral peaks. The neural network's RBF approximation further diminishes irrelevant high-frequency spectral peaks when the number of RBF nodes is less than half the signal sample count. The correctness of the solutions is confirmed by numerical experiments carried out on the Mahnob-HCI public database.

The study proposes an approach to diagnostics of diseases based on the analytic hierarchy process, which is as follows: by the method of pairwise comparisons, the weight structures of the symptoms of the alleged disease and the patient's disease are investigated, then the measure of the differences between these structures is evaluated, based on this assessment, we can talk about the reliability of the patient's diagnosis. Unlike the classical analytic hierarchy process, there are no alternatives in the developed modification, and diagnostics is carried out only by comparing the weight structures of the symptoms of the alleged disease and the patient's disease, that is, the approach does not imply the establishment of one of the alternative diagnoses, but only confirms (or refutes) the presence of the patient's disease. The method is tested on the basis of a clinical case of a mental disorder, the index of structural differences showed the identity of the weight structures of the symptoms of the alleged disease and the patient's disease, which confirmed the reliability of the patient's diagnosis. The method can be used to assess the reliability of the diagnosis, and, if repeated, the clinical dynamics of the disease in the course of therapy.
Optimal choice of relative performance indicator and product market competition
Authors: Hamamura Jumpei , Hayakawa Sho
Published: July 2024

We explore what performance indicator is optimal in a market competition, when firm’s owner pays compensation based on relative performance evaluation (RPE) to CEOs. Comparing the firm’s own profit with competitor’s profit, prior studies examine the RPEs. However, in RPE practices, other performance indicator is often adopted as a performance indicator with the exception of profit. Based on this motivation, from our analysis, we demonstrate that owners adopt sales as a relative performance indicator to evaluate CEO’s performance in specific economic conditions. This result has following contributions to RPE studies. First, our result will establish the future research avenue about choice of relative performance indicator. Second, our study has an important implication to empirical RPE research.
Did the Great Recession matter for health care utilization? An approach from the working-age population in Spain
Authors: Blázquez Fernández Carla , Cantarero-Prieto David , Perez Patricio
Published: July 2024

This paper tests for the determinants of health care services utilization in Spain. Data from the Spanish National Health Survey for 2006 and 2011-2012, two different phases of the economic cycle, is used. The analysis is carried out using count data models. Results show that the determinants are mainly related to gender, age, and health status. However, we find some differences prior the Great Recession and through it. Besides, there appear to be some differences between the services analysed. Findings should be considered first, under the framework of the Spanish National Health Care System and secondly, in terms of austerity measures. From a policy economic perspective, this contribution would be valuable to policymakers when planning to improve health services management.

Published: July 2024

Our study investigates the hedging ability of Gold and Bitcoin to hedge against financial market crashes. We also examined the ability of the VIX fear gouge to improve the ability of those financial assets to hedge financial risks.  We found a positive dependency between the current daily prices of Gold and Bitcoin with a stronger impact of Gold on Bitcoin than vice versa. We also find that in recent years (2021-2023), Gold price changes are negatively correlated to yesterday's price change of the S&P500 a day before and positively correlated to yesterday's NASDAQ price change.

Published: July 2024

The High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Göttingen (HEG) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is one of the major European hypersonic test facilities. It was commissioned for use in 1991 and was utilized since then extensively in a large number of national and international space and hypersonic flight projects. Originally, the facility was designed for the investigation of the influence of high temperature effects such as chemical and thermal relaxation on the aerothermodynamics of entry or re-entry space vehicles. Over the last years its range of operating conditions was subsequently extended. In this framework the main emphasis was to generate test conditions which allow investigating the flow past hypersonic flight configurations from low altitude Mach 6 up to Mach 10 in a wide altitude range. The studies performed in HEG focused on external as well as internal aerodynamics including combustion of hydrogen in supersonic combustion, shock-wave boundary layer interaction, the investigation and control of boundary layer transition in hypersonic flows and hypersonic turbulence.

Published: July 2024

Intensive introduction of innovative technologies into practice in order to improve the effectiveness of treatment and diagnostic measures and reduce the negative impact on the human body nevertheless contributes to the emergence of adverse events directly related to the provision of medical care. In the complex of anti-epidemic measures aimed at eliminating infection in medical organisations, a major role belongs to the correct organisation and performance of pre-sterilisation cleaning of medical devices. Technologies of processing of medical devices and pre-sterilisation cleaning should be convenient and safe to use, have no damaging effect on the processed items, be highly effective and at the same time not labour-intensive. Today cleaning with the use of ultrasonic units remains promising, with the help of which the standardisation of the treatment process is carried out, the influence of the human factor on the quality of cleaning is reduced, and the control of the main critical parameters of the process is carried out in automatic mode.
The purpose of the work is to justify the need to maintain the safety of the patient and staff using the promising use of ultrasonic influences.
The results of this literature review reflect information about the safety and effectiveness of the method of ultrasonic pre-sterilization cleaning of medical instruments used in physiotherapy and medical rehabilitation. Basic information is provided about the physical essence of the ultrasonic cleaning process, its effect on biological systems from the standpoint of physical, biological and chemical effects, which ensures the safety of manipulations and procedures in physiotherapy and medical rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND: The data available today show the positive impact of increased physical activity on the patient’s condition, helping not only to improve physical health, but also psycho-emotional state, reducing stress and anxiety. Comprehensive rehabilitation programs can significantly improve the overall well-being of cancer patients and contribute to their return to an active social life.
AIM: To study the effect of increased physical activity in the form of physical therapy on the overall result of antitumor treatment, the level of quality of life of patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving immunotherapy both alone and in combination with cytostatics.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 56 patients who were divided into two groups: main (n=30) and control (n=26). The study included patients with ECOG status 1–3. In both groups, patients received standard antitumor therapy ― immunotherapy with pembrolizumab 400 mg every 42 days or 200 mg every 21 days as monotherapy, or in combination with cytotoxic therapy (carboplatin plus paclitaxel or pemetrexed). In addition to drug treatment, patients from the main group also regularly engaged in therapeutic exercises with an instructor.
RESULTS: From the presented data and visualization it is clear that after treatment with the addition of physical education, the average level of quality of life in patients increased, the results highlight the significant positive impact of the rehabilitation program on the quality of life of cancer patients, reducing stress levels and improving functional indicators.
CONCLUSION: The study shows that regular practice of therapeutic exercises can improve stress levels and improve emotional well-being, help reduce fatigue and reduce general weakness. A reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety has been clearly demonstrated. Exercise therapy leads to increased muscle strength, which is especially important for recovery from intensive cancer treatments.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: The consequences of acute cerebrovascular accidents significantly reduce the quality of life and disrupt the professional activity of patients. A number of studies in patients with mild and moderate paresis of the upper limb after ischemic stroke have shown the clinical effectiveness of the use of hardware technologies based on the principle of biofeedback ― a non-drug treatment method using special equipment for recording, amplification and "feedback" physiological information to the patient.
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of fine motor skills restorationin patients after ischemic stroke using hardware methods with biofeedback, in combination with peripheral electrical myostimulation and basic therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: At the Medsi Clinical Hospital, in the personalized rehabilitation department, examinations and treatment and rehabilitation measures were carried out for 57 patients (22 women and 35 men) who had suffered ischemic stroke with motor disorders in the upper limb. Patients were randomized into groups: group 1 (comparison) ― 30 patients who underwent a standard rehabilitation program for neurological disorders, within which peripheral electrical myostimulation (ACorD) N 10 was performed daily in combination with an additional set of exercises for fine motor skills 30 minutes 5 times a week No 20; group 2 (main) ― 27 patients who along with the basic program and peripheral electromyostimulation (ACorD) N 10 daily, underwent biofeedback sessions on the HandTutor device for 30 minutes, 5 times a week No 20. The patients received drug therapy for neurological disorders, they underwent physical therapy exercises, walking treatment on the Lokomat automatic device, mechanotherapy, and sessions with a neuropsychologist. Before and after the end of rehabilitation measures, at 3, 6 and 12 months, the patient’s condition was assessed using the Rivermead Activities of Daily Living scale ― part "hand", the state of hand function was assessed using the "Finger and Wrist Movement Analysis" test on the HandTutor glove (MediTouch, Israel).
RESULTS: It has been established that the inclusion of the proposed method in a complex of rehabilitation measures after a stroke contributes to a statistically significant positive dynamics of Rivermead scale indicators (part "hand") and an active increase in the movements of all fingers and wrists by 30–40% within 3–12 months after the start of rehabilitation events.
CONCLUSION: The use of hardware methods with biofeedback is a clinically effective approach within the framework of complex rehabilitation of post-stroke patients with impaired function of the upper limb, the positive effect of which is based on the mechanisms of neuroplasticity.
