Autoridad y poder en la filosofía práctica de al-Fārābī
Authors:   Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Argentina), Quintana Pablo Gabriel
Published: January 2024

Al-Fārābī is responsible for laying the foundations of political philosophy in the lands of islam. In The virtous city, his key political text, the notion of “authority” (riyasa) occupies a central rol as it explains that, from its union with the agent intellect, virtous actions are projected onto citizens by which civic order is ensured and happiness is achieved as the ultimate goal of the ideal society. In this paper we will analyze the ways in which such actions are engendered in citizens through the concepts of “kingly crafts” (al-mihan al-malakiya) and “[royal] power” (al-mulk) understood as faculties of the “authority” (riyasa) and attending to its role in the configuration of the “virtous city” and in the general framework of al-Fārābī’s political thought.
Sobre mujeres, espejos y mentiras: discursos femeninos y mise en abyme de la enunciación en la literatura francesa medieval
Authors:   Universitat de Barcelona (España), Simó Torres Meritxell
Published: January 2024

This article focuses on the phenomenon known as mise en abyme of the enuntiation in medieval French literature, that is, on the diegetic representation of the text’s producer and/or of the context that has conditioned this production. We will analyse the frequent choice of female characters as the author’s fictional double; and the different nuances of this display of the mechanisms of writing, depending on the literary genre, the period, or the author’s gender.

Background: Interest in research on the topic of nursing interventions and medication adherence in tuberculosis (TB) patients has increased. In future research, researchers need information about trends and new things for the topic of nursing intervention research and medication adherence in tuberculosis patients in the future. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore the trend of the number of publications, the trend of the number of citations, the journal with the highest number of publications, network visualisation, overlay visualisation, and density visualisation on the topic of nursing interventions and medication adherence in tuberculosis patients through bibliometric analysis. Research method: Bibliometric analysis was used in this study. The data is identified through the https://app.dimensions.ai/ database, which is then selected using the PRISMA flowchart. Papers are limited to publication in 2018-2023, focusing on the fields of health sciences, nursing, public health, the science of services and health systems, information science, and types of publications are articles. Data were analysed using VOSviewer, and then the analysis results were reviewed by co-occurrence. Results: A search for publications on nursing interventions to improve medication adherence in TB patients resulted in 60,204 articles. After being filtered through the specified criteria, the number of articles obtained was 3,237. The peak of publications on nursing interventions to improve medication adherence in TB patients occurred in 2018. Meanwhile, the lowest number of publications occurred in 2023. The health sector and other fields such as Human society, Information and computing science, and Psychology carry out research on nursing interventions to improve medication adherence in TB patients. In addition, health trends in nursing interventions to improve medication adherence in TB patients currently focus on using digital technology-based interventions such as mobile health applications, health education, and family support. The density visualisation shows that the topics not widely researched related to nursing interventions to improve medication adherence in TB patients are application, mobile health, health education, family, social support, stigma, and attitude. Conclusion: The topic of nursing interventions to improve medication adherence in TB patients is a topic that needs to be further developed in various countries. Suggestions for other researchers: please choose a theme included in the visualisation category that has not been widely researched to find novelty for future studies.
A multi-step electricity prediction model for residential buildings based on ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition technique
Authors: Kaur Simarjit , Bala Anju , Parashar Anshu
Published: January 2024

Residential electricity demand is increasing rapidly, constituting about a quarter of total energy consumption. Electricity demand prediction is one of the sustainable solutions to improve energy efficiency in real-world scenarios. The non-linear and non-stationary consumption patterns in residential buildings make electricity prediction more challenging. This paper proposes a multi-step prediction approach that first conducts cluster analysis to identify seasonal consumption patterns. Secondly, an improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) method and autoencoder model has been deployed to remove irregular patterns, noise, and redundancy from electricity load time series. Finally, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model has been trained to predict electricity consumption by considering historical, seasonal, and temporal data dependencies. Further, experimental analysis has been conducted on real-time electricity consumption datasets of residential buildings. The comparative results reveal that the proposed multi-step model outperformed the existing state-of-the-art RF-LSTM-based prediction model and attained higher accuracy.
Zasady teologii pośrednictwa w świetle chrystologii Paula Tillicha oraz ich implikacje dla myśli i praktyki katolickiej
Authors: Walczak Marcin
Published: January 2024

Paul Tillich, jeden z największych teologów protestanckich XX wieku, jest twórcą oryginalnego systemu teologicznego, w którym centralne miejsce zajmuje chrystologia. Choć teolog niechętnie operował pojęciem pośrednictwa, w swoim dziele przedstawił Chrystusa właśnie jako Pośrednika objawienia i zbawienia. Chrystologia Tillicha stanowi cenne źródło dla refleksji nad tym, czym jest pośrednictwo i według jakich zasad powinno być rozumiane i przedstawiane w teologii. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia zasady kształtowania teologii pośrednictwa w oparciu o myśl Tillicha. W pierwszej części zasady te zostaną wyliczone i omówione, w drugiej zaś wyprowadzone zostaną wnioski związane z teologią i praktyką katolicką. Myśl Tillicha w tym zakresie okazuje się cennym przyczynkiem do dialogu ekumenicznego, skoro temat pośrednictwa stanowił od czasów reformacji jedną z głównych osi sporu międzywyznaniowego.
Paul Tillich, one of the greatest Protestant theologians of the twentieth century, is the creator of an original theological system in which Christology plays a central role. Although the theologian was reluctant to use the term “mediation”, in his work he presented Christ as the Mediator of revelation and salvation. Tillich's Christology is a valuable source of reflection on what mediation is and on what principles it should be understood and presented in theology. This article presents the principles of shaping the theology of mediation based on the thought of Tillich. In the first part, these principles will be listed and discussed, and in the second part, conclusions related to Catholic theology and practice will be drawn. Tillich's thought in this regard turns out to be a valuable contribution to the ecumenical dialogue, since the topic of mediation has been one of the main fields of the catholic-protestant dispute since the Reformation.
Exploring basic hope as a mediator between attitudes towards religion and psychological well-being among Anglicans
Authors: Krok Dariusz
Published: January 2024

The current study examines the mediating role of basic hope in the relationship of attitudes towards religion with psychological well-being in a sample of Anglicans. Because previous research has indicated close associations among religiosity, hope and well-being, the aforementioned assumption is highly plausible. A total of 176 participants (89 women and 87 men) took part in this study. All were members of the Church of England who completed three questionnaires: the Post-Critical Belief Scale (PCBS), the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) and the Basic Hope Inventory (BHI-12). The results demonstrated that all four attitudes towards religion were associated with basic hope: orthodoxy and second naiveté were positively related to basic hope, while external critique and relativism were negatively related. In addition, basic hope was positively associated with psychological well-being. The main finding showed that basic hope turned out to mediate the relationships between the four attitudes towards religion and psychological well-being among Anglicans. Taken together, the findings highlight the important role of hope, which seems vital to the development of people’s religious beliefs and well-being.
Niemieckie Katholikentagi na Śląsku i Śląskie Zjazdy Katolickie jako przejaw zaangażowania laikatu w życiu politycznym, społecznym i religijnym
Authors: Górecki Ks. Piotr
Published: January 2024

Wydarzenia Wiosny Ludów z połowy XIX w. przyniosły katolikom w Niemczech swobodę zrzeszania się oraz zapoczątkowały proces dążenia do ich równouprawnienia i zapewnienia parytetów w życiu politycznym i społecznym. Zewnętrznym przejawem wzrastającej z każdym rokiem siły katolików były organizowane zjazdy, które przeszły do historii jako tzw. Katholikentagi. Co ciekawe, 4 z nich zorganizowano we Wrocławiu (w 1849, 1872, 1886, 1909 i 1926 r.), a jeden odbył się w Nysie (w 1899 r.), ponieważ katolicy na Śląsku stanowili wówczas wielką siłę, czynnie angażując się w życie stowarzyszeniowe. Po podziale Górnego Śląska w 1922 r., na terenie ówczesnej administracji apostolskiej Górnego Śląska zorganizowano 3 śląskie zjazdy katolików (w latach 1922–1924). O ich celu, przebiegu, a także o najważniejszych zagadnieniach, jakie poruszano w czasie ich trwania w kwestiach politycznych, religijnych i społecznych, jest mowa w niniejszym artykule.
 
The events of the Spring of Nations in the mid-19th century brought Catholics in Germany freedom of association and began the process of pushing for their equality and ensuring parity in political and social life. An outward manifestation of the growing strength of Catholics each year were the conventions held, which went down in history as the so-called Katholikentags. Interestingly, five of them were organized in Wrocław (in 1849, 1872, 1886, 1909 and 1926), and one convention was held in Nysa (in 1899), as Catholics were a great force in Silesia, actively involved in associational life. After the division of Upper Silesia in 1922. Upper Silesia, three Silesian conventions of Catholics were organized in 1922–1924 in apostolic administration of Upper Silesia. Their purpose, course, as well as the most important issues raised during them on political, religious and social issues are discussed in this article.
Eklezjologia inkluzywna według papieża Franciszka
Authors: Rabiej Stanisław Jan
Published: January 2024

Artykuł stanowi próbę ocenę dotychczasowego, niespełna dziesięcioletniego pontyfikatu Papieża Franciszka w domenie jego troski duszpasterskiej o Kościół. W jej całokształcie można rozpoznawać znamiona eklezjologii inkluzywnej. W uzasadnieniu zasadności tego terminu odwołano się do źródeł biblijnych. Wskazano na ile w nauczaniu i praktyce pastoralnej Franciszka przejawia się logika integracji hołdująca  kulturze spotkania, która pozwala dojść do głosu sensus fidei Ludu Bożego. Przywołano wybrane teksty i gesty Papieża zachęcające do tworzenia „Kościoła bliskości” poprzez wyjście na peryferie. Dla osiągniecia zamierzonego celu badawczego posłużono się metodą analizy zgromadzonego materiału w postaci rejestrowanych wystąpień i publikowanych tekstów Biskupa Rzymu w latach 2013-2022 uzasadniających zasadność  zastosowania terminu: eklezjologia włączająca (inkluzywna). W wyniku swoistego cross-reading wskazano ich kompatybilność z wcześniejszym nauczaniem UNK. 
The article attempts to assess Pope Francis' pontificate of less than a decade so far in the domain of his pastoral concern for the Church. In its totality, one can recognize the hallmarks of inclusive ecclesiology. In justifying the validity of the term, reference was made to biblical sources. It was pointed out to what extent Francis' teaching and pastoral practice manifests the logic of inclusiveness honouring the culture of encounter, which allows the sensus fidei of the People of God to come to the fore. Selected texts and gestures of the Pope encouraging the creation of a „Church of proximity” by going to the periphery are recalled. To achieve the intended research goal, the method of analysing the collected material in the form of recorded speeches and published texts of the Bishop of Rome in 2013–2022 justifying the legitimacy of the term: inclusive ecclesiology was used. As a result of a kind of cross-reading, their compatibility with the earlier teaching of the Church was indicated.

Spatial Regression Analysis on the Determinants of Drug Crime Levels by Administrative Dong: Focusing on Crime Pattern Theory
Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Jang Hyunseok
Published: January 2024

The severity of drug-related crimes in Korean society is increasing, yet there is a relative lack of research on the local distribution of drug crimes and the factors influencing their distribution in the society. In contrast to the United States, where studies indicate a concentration of drug crimes in certain crime-prone locations, domestic criminological research on the geographical distribution of drug crimes is insufficient. This study, grounded in the crime pattern theory, set alcohol-selling entertainment establishments as potential locations for drug crimes and investigated whether the number of such establishments has a significant impact on the occurrence of drug crimes using crime occurrence data at the administrative dong level in Seoul.
Drawing on previous research on the geographical distribution of crime, this study incorporated variables such as the presence of police substations, CCTV ratios, the proportion of foreigners, the foreign floating population, the local floating population, population density, and migration ratios into a spatial regression analysis model.
The analysis revealed that the number of alcohol-selling entertainment establishments had a significant positive impact on the occurrence of drug crimes, supporting the hypothesis of crime pattern theory in the geographical distribution of drug crimes. Additionally, areas with a higher local floating population showed significantly higher crime grades. It was observed that administrative dongs with police substations tended to have significantly lower grades for drug crime occurrence, suggesting the presence of police facilities as a deterrent factor.
Based on the research findings, policy recommendations were provided, and the limitations of the study were discussed.
A Study on CPTED Characteristics of Court-Connected Landscape among Urban Detention Center Types -Focusing on the case of an urban Detention Center in the United States
Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Lim Ki-Taek , Pyo Eung Suk
Published: January 2024

The urban detention center is an abhorrent facility, but it is also a necessary facility for running the country. In order to achieve the speed and efficiency of judicial procedures, it is desirable that the facility be located together with the administrative town or legal town within the city. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of the court-connected landscape among the landscape characteristics of the urban detention center that is essential in the city. Through this study, the urban complex detention center, which is an essential facility in the city, will be able to derive the landscape characteristics that are essential for performing its functions smoothly and efficiently while minimizing the sense of incongruity in the surrounding urban context, and will be smoothly reflected in future architectural plans. The urban detention center is a hated facility in the city, but it is a facility that is essential for the speed and efficiency of judicial procedures and requires appropriate access and control at the same time. In order to perform its function smoothly while minimizing the sense of incongruity with the surrounding context in an urban legal town, special solutions and architectural methodologies are needed in the landscape sector.

Published: January 2024

Illegal parking inhabits the convenience of transportation, threatens the safety of pedestrians, and worsens the emergency situation by acting as an obstacle. Each local government has made efforts in various ways, such as expanding the no-parking area and operation resident reporting systems for illegal parking, but it is not sufficient to resolve the illegal parking problem, with the many complaints related to the illegal parking in all complaints. Therefore, this study conducted spatial analysis to derive a solution to the illegal parking phenomenon based on the theory of evidence-based policing for crime prevention and interpreted the phenomenon by using Ratcliffe's hotspot matrix.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, ranked first in the number of illegal parking reports by district, and Jung-gu, Daegu-si, ranked first in the reports per area, were selected as study areas. As a result of executing Moran's I analysis, a methodology to ascertain spatial dependency for each area, revealed that both regions exhibited positive spatial dependency, indicating a spatial association with illegal parking incidents.
Furthermore, Local Moran’s I analysis, a methodology that identifies areas with significant differences from the surrounding areas by setting the analysis scope locally, was conducted to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of hotspots where illegal parking occurs frequently.
In Seongnam, hotspot areas with high reported volumes appear in large, distributed forms and scattered patterns throughout the city, exhibiting characteristics of spatial clustering and temporal concentration according to Ratcliffe's hotspot matrix. In addition, it was found that the hotspots were often adjacent to the parks, suggesting ways to fundamentally improve parking environment around the parks by activating the sharing of idle parking spaces in surrounding buildings, and encouraging citizens to participate voluntarily through logo-projectors.
In Jung-gu, Daegu-si, the result presented that most hotspots from a cluster in Dongseong-ro, with a more concentrated temporal concentration, indicating spatial clustering and temporal acuteness based on Ratcliffe's hotspot matrix. Therefore, we propose concentrated patrols around the hotspot area during by time periods to persuade illegal parking vehicles. In particular, benchmarking the current flexible patrol system used by the police and utilizing optimal routes were suggested to ensure efficient patrols. Moreover, using intelligent CCTV was proposed to effectively enforce habitual areas.
By applying the methods presented in this study, local governments can utilize valuable information for policy decision-making to facilitate efficient evidence-based policing activities and derive fundamental solutions to illegal parking issues.
An exploratory study on the relationship between the ratio of foreigners, group threat perception, and collective efficiency using Regression Tree analysis: Focusing on the integrated explanation of the Social Integration Model and Group Threat Theory
Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Park Junho , Hwang Euigab
Published: January 2024

In order to empirically verify the integrative hypothesis of the Social Integration Model-Group Threat Theory, this paper examines the relationship between the proportion of foreigners in residential areas and Koreans' perception of group threat and collective efficiency. This analysis is conducted at the exploratory level using regression tree analysis. The case of 800 Korean residents was utilized as secondary data in the “Research on Measures for Strengthening the Efficacy of Criminal Policy for Guaranteeing Public Safety (IV): A Study on the Safety Condition and Policy Issues in Foreign Population Concentrated Areas” conducted by the Korean Institute of Criminology and Justice. As a result of the main analysis, it was found that the integrated hypothesis of the Social Integration Model-Group Threat Theory, which has been discussed in Western society, was partially supported. However, the factor of perceived group threat had a significant effect only in multi-ethnic communities with more than 50% of foreigners in predicting collective efficiency. Through the derived results, the study suggests the necessity of implementing a control policy to mitigate the spread of anti-multicultural emotions resulting from the increasing ethnic diversity. Finally, the study also presents its limitations.

Published: January 2024

The purity of breathable air in an indoor environment is one of the factors that determines how healthy the inhabitants are. In order to evaluate the mycological indoor air quality of a few chosen private hospitals in Dutse metropolitan, this study was carried out. To choose the three (3) private hospitals that agreed to the study’s conduct, a purposive sampling technique was used. The settle plate method was adopted to isolate fungi in the morning, afternoon, and evening using eighty one (81) sterile sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) plates. Following that, established microbiological techniques were used to identify the fungal isolates. The indoor environment of the private hospitals were extensively contaminated with fungal aerosols, according to the results, with mean fungal loads in the morning (4680 CFU/m3), afternoon (3566 CFU/m3), and evening (3016.33 CFU/m3). However, the mean fungal load obtained in Dr. Bashir hospital (4966 CFU/m3) was significantly (p< 0.05) different from other private hospitals while the mean fungal loads obtained across all the private hospitals were not significantly (p> 0.05)different from each other. Penicillium spp. (23.46%), Aspergillus flavus (7.41%), Mucor spp. (17.28%), Rhizopus spp. (13.58%) and Aspergillus niger (23.46%) were isolated across the private hospital indoor environment. The findings in this study indicate that fungal aerosols were able to accumulate in the examined indoor environment of the hospitals regardless of the sampling intervals, suggesting that they may have the ability to act as a reservoir of fungal infections. Therefore, it is advised that safety precautions should be taken in order to lessen fungal contamination in the hospitals’ indoor environment.

Authors: M. Etesin Usoro , J. Ogbonna Iniobong
Published: January 2024

Heavy metal pollution of soils is a worldwide concern due to the security of the agricultural products derivable from the heavy metal contaminated soils. The toxic metals enter the soil-agro ecosystem through natural processes derived from anthropogenic activities and geological weathered materials. This study is aimed at investigating the contamination status of soils from Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State, being an area of intense agricultural and industrial activities. Twelve locations were demarcated for soil sampling, whereby top (0- 15 cm ) and sub-surface ( 15 – 30cm ) soil samples were obtained. The soil samples were air-dried and subjected to heavy metal determination (iron, Fe; cadmium, Cd; lead, Pb; zinc, Zn; copper, Cu; vanadium, V; nickel , Ni; chromium, Cr ; mercury, Hg ) by inductively coupled plasma– optical emission spectrometer (AGILENT 720 ICP-OES). The mean concentrations of heavy metals during the dry and wet seasons followed the order: Fe > Zn > Cu > Cr > Ni > Pb > V > Cd > Hg. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo) determined for all the metals studied were less than one , which falls in the Class zero , implying that the soils of the study area is practically unpolluted ; the potential ecological risk ( RI) were less than one , which was in the class of no potential ecological risk : modified degree of contamination ( mCd) calculated for both seasons falls in the category of less than 1.5 , which is nil to very low degree of contamination of the soils of the study area; pollution load index ( PLI), falls in the category of PLI of zero, which is excellence with no metal pollutant contamination. The public concern in respect of the security of the agricultural products derivable from the heavy metal contaminated soil, seem not to be applicable in the soils of Ikot Abasi, however, regular monitoring, is recommended to check possible future contamination.

Authors: Asmoay Ahmed , Mousa Ibrahim , Mohamed Ahmed
Published: January 2024

The study was conducted in Egypt’s El Minya Governorate, where 16 soil samples were taken from reclaimed land and analyzed in the USA using a variety of indices. The study revealed that the soil was moderately alkaline, calcareous, and had salinities ranging from not salty to relatively salty. Most of the soil samples had a clay texture, with varying mineral compositions. The study also found that phosphate fertilizers had been used to improve soil fertility, but it was cautioned against using them due to the low soil fertility and potential for heavy metal contamination. The study also compared the quality index of soil, the ratio of sodium absorption, and the percent of base saturation to determine soil quality and fertility. Finally, the study found that agriculture was more extensive in 2018 and 2020 than in 2022, which could indicate a lack of farming in the current season.

Published: January 2024

Este artículo se enfoca en el análisis comparativo entre la eficiencia y la eficacia de dos técnicas de búsquedas, con la intención de evaluar el comportamiento en el ajuste de soluciones. Las dos técnicas analizadas son los algoritmos genéticos y el enjambre de partículas. Ambas han demostrado ser efectivas y su aplicación abarca problemas en muy diversas áreas. Sus estructuras han probado ser capaces de resolver de forma eficiente problemas de búsquedas no informadas en sistemas complejos; además, se caracterizan por sus poblaciones de coeficientes estáticos, preprogramados y adaptativos. Siendo así, el objetivo principal es enfocar las dos técnicas y encontrar cuál de las dos se aproxima de mejor manera a un conjunto de medidas experimentales, así como analizar las similitudes y diferencias entre dichas técnicas de optimización. La optimización consiste en encontrar aquellos valores en el espacio de búsqueda que representan una solución cercana para un problema dado. El planteamiento inicial considera la evaluación sobre un diseño numérico de optimización las cuales sirven de modelo para determinar el comportamiento, incluso frente a técnicas de ajustes tradicionales; sin embargo, no se pretende calificar como mejor alguna de las dos técnicas, sino dar elementos que permitan decidir cuál de ellas utilizar ante un problema de características similares al caso de estudio planteado. Por tal motivo, al realizar el estudio pertinente, se demostró que los algoritmos genéticos son métodos con estructuras que implementan un mecanismo de adaptación y pueden seguir solucionándolo.

The Twilight of Virtuosity: French Exotic Aesthetic in the works of Pablo de Sarasate and others.
Authors:   , Bedggood Thomas
Published: January 2024

Abstract The Twilight of Virtuosity: French Exotic Aesthetic in the works of Pablo de Sarasate and others.

By Thomas Ryan Bedggood At the turn of the Twentieth Century, epochal social and cultural change was sweeping Europe and her colonies. This change affected all aspects of life, including the music industry. New values, including those stressing authenticity and nationalism, all came to bear on the individuals who performed and created music; in some cases, this made these individuals figures for public exoneration and canonization long after their passing. In other cases, however, quite the opposite came to pass, and they have been buried from the modern view.

In this thesis, I argue that Pablo de Sarasate personified both musical authenticity and nationalistic culture. Combining a mixture of performative creativity and charisma, Sarasate presented an engaging stage experience that combined cultural elements, sensuality, and virtuosic technique, which has influenced the value system we use in violin works and performance ever since. Whilst this combination was incredibly effective, I argue that these same features made Sarasate a prime target for subsequent dismissal and opposition in his time and posthumously as he represented an antithesis to the competing Germano-Romantic musical ideals and social norms of the time. I seek to address the hole that has been left in both the contextual understanding of musicological discourse from this era (particularly regarding Sarasate), and the analytical efforts to date considering the works he wrote and influenced. I employ historically informed musicology not just to describe Sarasate’s works and compositional devices and influence on the violin canon, but to also understand these influences more fully in the environment they would have evolved in. I hope to present the beginnings of a more complete picture of Sarasate, reflecting the far-ranging continued impacts of the Hispanic virtuoso on music.
ADVANCED THERMOCOUPLE LINEARIZATION METHOD USING ADVANCED POLYNOMIAL FITTING
Authors: Byabarta Nilanjan
Published: January 2024

In this study, this paper presents a new method for linearizing thermocouple data using Python and compares the performance of higher-order polynomial models in achieving linearization. It involves fitting a non-linear model to the thermocouple data using the curve fit function from Python and then calculating the linearized temperature values using the optimized parameters. The paper also presents a comparative analysis of different polynomial models, ranging from 3rd to 12th order, and evaluates their performance in achieving linearization. The results show that higher-order polynomial models generally perform better than lower-order models in achieving linearization, but also have a higher risk of overfitting. The paper concludes that the presented method provides an effective way of linearizing thermocouple data using Python and that the choice of polynomial model should be carefully considered based on the data characteristics and the desired level of accuracy.

First, we analyzed the problems by dividing the ‘2023 Basic Direction of Unification Education’ into 1. definition and goals of unification education, 2. key directions of unification education, and 3. contents of unification education. Next, alternatives to overcome each problem are proposed. As a result of the study, a change in the definition of unification education is suggested, starting from recognizing the harmful effects of division in daily life to education that fosters the will and ability for peaceful unification. It is suggested as the goals of unification education, the revision from belief in liberal democracy into discussion of desirable democracy in a unified Korea, open nationalism orientation, expansion to human security as well as military security, and revision to understanding North Korea through synthesis of intrinsic and extrinsic approaches. It is also suggested that the main direction and contents of unification education are reconstructed from the perspectives of understanding the unification issues, understanding the history of Korean division, understanding North Korea, and the future vision of a unified Korea.
Die conditio humana und die Bildung des Menschen im Zeitalter des digitalen Kontakts

Aufgrund des Coronavirus ist virtuelles Lernen für Schulen auf allen Ebenen zur Routine geworden. Nicht nur in der Schule, sondern in allen Bereichen der Gesellschaft und Kultur ist der persönliche Kontakt auf ein Minimum reduziert worden, und der größte Teil unseres Berufs-und Alltagslebens wird durch digitale Technologien und mediengestützte digitale Kontakte bestimmt. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es sinnvoll, den ‘digital contact based’ Unterricht und die zunehmende Digitalisierung der Bildung im Allgemeinen aus einer bildungsphilosophischen Perspektive zu betrachten. In diesem Artikel untersuche ich zunächst kurz das digitale technologische Umfeld und die Kultur, auf die sich die Nutzer den technischen Eigenschaften gemäß verlassen müssen. Ich betrachte dann den Status des Menschen im digitalen Zeitalter, der gezwungen ist, das, was ihm wirklich gehört, neu zu definieren, indem er die Denk- und Rechenfähigkeiten an künstliche Intelligenz abgibt, von denen man einst annahm, dass sie nur ihm gehören. Im Hauptteil des Artikels, “Kontaktloses Zeitalter und die auf Kontakt basierte Bildung”, erörtere ich den Einsatz digitaler Medien im Bereich der Bildung und Pädagogik aus praktischer Sicht, bevor ich kritisiere, wie die neuen Technologien im Prozess der Konstruktion der Bildungsrealität Menschen instrumentalisieren. Und ich schlage die Bedeutung und Notwendigkeit einer ganzheitlichen pädagogischen Tätigkeit von Lehrern im Gegensatz zu den technischen Lehrfähigkeiten der KI vor. In der Schlussfolgerung wende ich mich an die heute heranwachsende Generation, die ihre Menschlichkeit und ihre Fähigkeiten in Zusammenarbeit mit digitalen Technologien verkörpern muss.

A 0D Cu-based complex {[(Complex 1, Complex 1 = Cu(L)2(EDA)2]n, L = 3-phenylpropylmalonic acid, EDA = ethylenediamine) was synthesized by solvent-thermal synthesis using 3-phenylpropylmalonic acid as the ligands. It is characterized and analyzed by PXRD, infrared spectrum, ultraviolet diffuse reflection spectrum and other means. Complex 1 is crystallized in triclinic crystal system with space group P-1, and each Cu2+ was coordinated with two ligands and a water molecule, respectively. Cyclic voltammogram curve of Complex 1 modified electrode (1+CPE) was tested in the PBS buffer solution (pH = 6.5), which found a pair of belong to Cu(Ⅱ)/Cu(Ⅰ) reversible redox peaks, proved that the Complex 1 can be used in the electrochemical applications.

Background

Human leishmaniasis is a protozoan disease transmitted by sand flies and endemic in the Mediterranean region. In Italy, leishmaniasis is present in the south and the western coastal regions, with an epidemic peak detected in northern Italy in the early 1970s.

Aim

To examine temporal trends, and demographic, clinical, geographical and environmental features of human leishmaniasis cases recorded by the local health unit (LHU) of Bologna, northern Italy.

Methods

In this retrospective observational study, we analysed human leishmaniasis cases recorded from 2004 to 2022 within the Bologna LHU. We also conducted serological investigations for canine leishmaniasis in owned dogs living near the place of infection of human cases.

Results

In total, 173 cases of human leishmaniasis were detected, and 154 cases were considered autochthonous. An increase of human cases was observed since 2004, with incidence peaks above 2 cases/100,000 inhabitants in 2013, 2018 and 2022; epidemic peaks were preceded by dry summers. Most cases lived in the plain and hilly areas less than 400 m above sea level and many resided in isolated housing, in city outskirts, and/or near uncultivated areas, watercourses and railway sections. The incidence of canine leishmaniasis did not increase in the study period.

Conclusion

An epidemic of human leishmaniasis with fluctuating annual numbers of cases, probably related to environmental and climatic factors, was identified in the Bologna LHU. Understanding the risk factors and the environmental characteristics related to places of infection is crucial to evaluate the public health implications of leishmaniasis.
