Published: January 2024

The problem of correspondence cannot be separated from the ease, accuracy and speed of the processing process. In research from Riswandi Ishak and H. Trizaka, they proposed report management software as well as notification of disposition and monitoring of correspondence as a solution to correspondence problems. However, there are shortcomings in the notification process for the disposition of correspondence, which requires the software to be actively open. In research, P. Dwi proposed a notification solution with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so that it can send notifications as long as the browser is active and connected to the internet, even without opening the software. There is a problem currently when the software becomes unstable when the internet connection is bad or offline. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) offers the concept of web-based application development by implementing browser technology such as service workers and app manifests. PWA is capable of displaying pages offline but cannot save, change, or delete data in the database. The test results of this research used Lighthouse and showed an average score of 100 on the PWA criteria, 85 on the performance criteria, 97 on the accessibility criteria, and 100 on the best practices criteria. Additional results obtained by implementing PWA mean page loading times are 26.6% faster with cache and service workers. The PWA and FCM concepts provide the best experience in using Mailing Software even with minimal internet connection or offline. This strategy was chosen to still get a fast response when running the mail processing software.

The New Normal era that emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges in the management and administration of tourist villages. Tourist villages are destinations that are very vulnerable to changes in tourist behavior and government regulations. Therefore, this research seeks to understand the management of tourism village governance in the New Normal era. This research uses a qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis related to tourist villages. Respondents interviewed included tourist village managers, local communities and tourists. The collected data was analyzed using the content analysis method. Research findings reveal that management of tourist villages in the New Normal era faces several significant challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced tourist village managers to adapt their business models, which include implementing strict health protocols and adapting tourism services to meet New Normal requirements. In addition, the active involvement of local communities in decision making and promotion of tourist villages has become an important factor in maintaining the sustainability of these destinations. This research underlines the importance of adaptation and innovation in tourism village governance in the New Normal era. Tourism village managers must collaborate with government institutions, local communities and other stakeholders to overcome existing challenges. Apart from that, prioritizing increasing awareness of health and hygiene protocols is important in facing New Normal conditions. By doing this, tourist villages can continue to operate safely and sustainably, while providing meaningful tourism experiences to their visitors.

Aprendizado por Reforço Profundo para Navegação Sem Mapa de um Veículo Híbrido Aéreo-Aquático usando Imagens
Authors: Jesus Junior D. , Drews-Jr Paulo L. J. , Guerra Rodrigo S.
Published: January 2024

O Aprendizado por Reforço (RL) tem se mostrado altamente eficaz em jogos eletrônicos e tarefas de controle contínuo. Entretanto, RL apresenta dificuldades em lidar com observações de alta dimensionalidade, como imagens brutas de pixels. É amplamente aceito que políticas de RL baseadas em estado físico, como medições de sensores a laser, geralmente produzem amostragens mais eficientes do que o aprendizado com base em pixels. Neste trabalho, é proposta uma nova abordagem que combina informações de uma estimativa de mapa de profundidade e imagens brutas de pixels para ensinar um agente de RL a realizar a navegação sem mapa em um Veículo Híbrido Aéreo-Aquático (HUAUV). Esta abordagem, denominada Representações Priorizadas Contrastivas Não Supervisionadas de Imagens de Profundidade e Pixel em Aprendizado por Reforço (CUPRL e Depth-CUPRL), estima a profundidade de imagens e utiliza imagens brutas de pixels com uma memória de repetição priorizada. É utilizada uma combinação de RL e Aprendizagem Contrastiva para lidar com o desafio de aprender com base em observações de imagens. A Aprendizagem Contrastiva permite criar um espaço latente que é capaz de mapear imagens de pixel e profundidade de tal forma que, mesmo ao utilizar apenas imagens de pixels, é possível criar representações eficientes para solucionar problemas de navegação em ambientes complexos. Os resultados obtidos com o HUAUV indicam que a abordagem proposta é eficaz na tomada de decisão e supera as abordagens baseadas em pixels existentes na capacidade de navegação sem mapa.
Especificando Comportamentos para Futebol de Robôs da Abordagem DDM
Authors: Oliveira Raoni Sales de , Mascarenhas Ana Patricia Fontes Magalhães
Published: January 2024

O futebol de robôs é frequentemente utilizado como berço de teste para Sistemas Multi Agentes (SMA). Em um time de futebol, cada jogador é um agente, e suas ações precisam estar coordenadas com outros agentes para alcançar um objetivo. Neste contexto, planos coordenados, denominados setplays, são utilizados para simular e planejar situações reais do jogo. Ferramentas para definir setplays geralmente possuem um conjunto limitado de comportamentos disponíveis para uso, ex. chutar, e novos comportamentos precisam ser codificados manualmente. Este trabalho propõe uma solução para apoiar a implementação de comportamentos para simulação e execução de SMAs cooperativos, no contexto de futebol de robôs. A solução utiliza o Desenvolvimento Dirigido a Modelos (DDM), que permite a definição de comportamentos em alto nível de abstração e subsequente transformação (semi) automática em código-fonte para ferramentas específicas. Experimentos com times de futebol de robôs demonstraram a viabilidade da solução na definição de comportamentos e geração de código-fonte para as ferramentas FCPortugal Framework e SPlanner utilizadas por diversos times de futebol de robôs.

Published: January 2024

A maioria dos sistemas de SLAM visual não é robusta em cenários dinâmicos. Aqueles que lidam com conteúdo dinâmico nas cenas geralmente dependem de métodos baseados em aprendizado profundo para detectar e filtrar objetos dinâmicos. No entanto, esses métodos não conseguem lidar com objetos desconhecidos. Este trabalho apresenta o Panoptic-SLAM, um sistema de SLAM visual robusto para ambientes dinâmicos, mesmo na presença de objetos desconhecidos. Ele utiliza a Segmentação Panóptica para filtrar objetos dinâmicos da cena durante o processo de estimativa de estado. A metodologia proposta é baseada no ORB-SLAM3, um sistema SLAM estado-da-arte para ambientes estáticos. A implementação foi testada usando conjuntos de dados do mundo real e comparada com vários sistemas da literatura, incluindo DynaSLAM, DS-SLAM e SaD-SLAM e PVO.
Učitelský pohled na školní ne/úspěšnost na 1. stupni základní školy: potřeba nové definice
Authors: Smetáčková Irena , Stará Jana , Chytrý Vlastimil
Published: January 2024

Výzkumy ukazují vysokou souvislost školní úspěšnosti a celkového pozitivního vývoje jedince. Na úspěšnost žáků a žákyň mají klíčový vliv vyučující, a to svými požadavky, pedagogickými postupy a hodnoticími kritérii. Tento článek představuje výsledky výzkumu učitelského pojetí školní neúspěšnosti ve 2. ročníku ZŠ. Prostřednictvím 29 učitelských rozhovorů jsme zjistili, že vyučující jsou k pojmu "školní neúspěšnost" kritičtí. Identifikovali jsme tři pojetí školní neúspěšnosti. Ta byla porovnána s tím, jak vyučující hodnotili děti ve svých třídách (n = 652). Navzdory deklarované nefunkčnosti pojmu "školně ne/úspěšný žák" jej vyučující používají, a to diferencovaně, a vnímají skupiny žáků jako odlišné zejména v subškále kognitivní schopnosti a školní výkony. V závěru proto argumentujeme pro redefinici pojmu školní ne/úspěšnost tak, aby byl vyučujícími akceptován a zohlednil opomíjené dimenze.

Authors: Yüzer Şevval , Var Mustafa
Published: January 2024

Su, tüm canlılar için temel yaşam kaynaklarından biri olup hayati öneme sahiptir. Ekonomik kaygılarla gerçekleşen fiziki planlar, hızlı ve plansız kentleşme, sanayileşme ve planlama politika ile uygulamaların yetersiz kalması ve iklim değişikliği sonucunda zaman içerisinde doğal kaynaklar tahrip olmaya başlamış, su kaynakları da bu durumdan etkilenmiştir. Su kaynaklarının azalması, ekonomik, ekolojik ve sosyal sürdürülebilirliğin sağlanması için korumaya yönelik uygulamaları gündeme getirmiştir. İçme – kullanma suyu temini için büyük öneme sahip olan içme suyu havzaları birçok bileşeni içinde barındırır. Bu bileşenler doğal bir denge içerisinde olup her bir havzanın hassasiyetinin belirlenmesinde önem taşımaktadır. İçme suyu havzalarında koruma – kullanma dengesinin sağlanabilmesi için havzaya özgü değerlerin ve hassasiyetlerinin tespit edilmesi ve her havza için farklı değerlendirmelerin yapılması gerekmektedir. Ancak, Türkiye’de birbirinden farklı topoğrafya, jeoloji, hidrojeoloji, hidroloji, toprak, flora ve kirletici unsurları barındıran havzalarda kuş uçuşu sabit mesafeye göre koruma sınırları belirlendiği görülmektedir. Dünyada gerçekleştirilen içme suyu havzalarındaki koruma alanları Türkiye’den birçok özellik bakımından farklılaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, içme suyu koruma alanlarının belirlenmesinde gerekli olan öğeleri, Türkiye ile seçilmiş ülkelerin koruma alanlarını belirlemeye yönelik yaklaşımlarının irdelenerek, uyguladığımız sistemin eksiklikleri ve gerekli öneriler vurgulanmıştır. Diğer ülke örneklerinden yararlanılarak, oluşturulması gereken koruma kuşaklarına ekosistem unsurlarının etkisi açıklanmıştır.

Published: January 2024

The author reviews theory and application of rotation methods in sample surveys in Poland. He begins with reviewing designs of the surveys across time, depending on different objectives, focusing on partial rotation of sub-samples, and considers estimation problems and data quality issues generally. Next, he refers to some articles and books about surveys published over time, starting with Wilks (1940), Patterson (1950), Eckler (1955), Woodruff (1963), Rao and Graham (1964), Bailar (1975), Duncan and Kalton (1987) and Kalton and Citro (1993). He mentions also early Polish papers on rotation methods (Kordos (1966, 1967, 1971, 1982); Lednicki, 1982; Szarkowski and Witkowski, 1994), and concentrates on Polish household surveys, mainly Household Budget Survey (HBS), Labour Force Survey (LFS) and EU Statistics on Living Conditions and Income (EU-SILC). Special attention is devoted to last research on rotation sampling done by Polish sampling statisticians: Ciepiela et al. (2012), Kordos (2002), Kowalczyk (2002, 2003, 2004), Kowalski (2006, 2009), Kowalski and Wesołowski (2012) and Wesołowski (2010). Concluding remarks are given at the end.
Estimation for short term statistics
Authors: Dehnel Grażyna
Published: January 2024

Economic processes taking places in the EU markets require systematic changes that will facilitate the international exchange of socio-economic information. All this creates a need for modification of the business statistics information system. System modification is just one element of transformations undertaken by the Central Statistical Office aimed at reforming most of its surveys. These changes focus among other things on exploiting administrative sources for purposes of public statistics. Participation of Poland in the MEETS program offered a unique chance to take steps towards a reform of the present state of business statistics. The results obtained in the MEETS program study was the basis for this article. The objective of the paper was to present the possibility of using administrative registers to short term statistics in the light of DG1 survey.
Statistics and Sociology: The mutually-supportive development from the perspective of interdisciplinarization of social research
Authors: Okrasa Włodzimierz
Published: January 2024

Statistics emerged as a scientific discipline and has been developed as such, especially extensively over the past century, not only due to an extraordinary service it provides to other disciplines but also thanks to ideas, questions and approaches originally formulated in different fields of empirical research, including sociology, which also contributed to statistics. The confluence of developments in these two disciplines (statistics and sociology) seems to be one of the most successful and beneficial for both of them. Yet, it has become a focus of systematic reflection only recently. The aim of this paper is to make a concise overview of the logical scheme of this interaction and to stress the importance of the counterfactual causal modeling being currently under constant refinement. A more explicit formula of interdisciplinarization that underlies such an interaction anyway would add to overcoming the methodological challenges it poses to either discipline. While contributing to the advancement of ‘cause-and-effect’ oriented quantitative sociology this would enhance methodology of social science research in general.

Published: January 2024

Dental plaque, a biofilm composed of various bacterial colonies, exists on the tooth surface. The balance of the surrounding environment is disrupted through a change in the composition of the bacterial community when homestasis of dental plaque is disrupted. Probiotics refers to microorganisms that confer health benefits to hosts when administered in adequate amounts. Probiotics can release bioactive substances that can inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of pathogenic microorganisms such as Streptococcus mutans. Probiotics ability to integrate into dental biofilm is not yet clarified. The aim of this trial was to detect probiotic bacteria from probiotics in dental biofilm and saliva during and after intake. The article was conducted of PubMed database and were limited to period January 2019 to November 2023 with combination of the following keywords: “role” and “probiotic” and “oral” and “biofilm”. The results obtained were 41 articles found at the beginning of the search in pubmed databases, and the 7 full text articles were selected for further review and discussion The potential inhibitory activity probiotic strains on the growth of S. mutans were Lactococcus lactis, L. salivarius, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus reuteri. The other probiotic, W. cibaria and B. lactis HN019 are a beneficial oral probiotic that improves oral health. The mechanism of action of probiotics in oral health is an imbalance in the composition of the microbiota, known as dysbiosis. This dysbiosis is associated with increased permeability and disruption of the epithelial barrier, leading to inflammation and chronic inflammatory pathologies.

Online Mentoring
Authors: Andersen Camey , Thomas Steven
Published: January 2024

Online mentoring is “a computer mediated, mutually beneficial relationship between a mentor and a protege which provides learning, advising, encouraging, promoting, and modeling that is often boundaryless, egalitarian, and qualitatively different than traditional face-to-face mentoring” (Bierema and Merriam, 2002, p. 219). While online mentoring has been available since the advent of internet access, it is evolving to become a transformative educational and professional development strategy. By creating collaborative learning experiences between mentees and mentors, online mentoring advances a learning vision where mentorship transcends cultural, geographical, and physical barriers, enhances inclusivity, and fosters holistic development within an increasingly interconnected global community. The democratization of mentorship also encourages belonging and engagement and provides new opportunities for self-directed learning (DeWaard and Chavhan, 2020; Olivier and Trivedi, 2021).
Help-seeking
Authors: Yang Fan , Stefaniak Jill
Published: January 2024

Help-seeking occurs when learners realize a gap in their learning, and they seek assistance to bridge the existing gap. Traditionally, they engage in conversations with instructors or peers for constructive advice in both face-to-face settings and online learning environments. The advent of technologies has greatly diversified learners’ help-seeking options. Studies on help-seeking focus predominantly on the correlational relationship between learners’ demographics like gender, major, characteristics, motivational beliefs, mastery or performance goals, and their help-seeking behavior without enough attention to learners’ online help-seeking pattern (Cheng et al., 2013, Tanaka, 2002). Research on help-seeking strategies can support students in a variety of formal and informal learning environments and their psychological decision-making.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: As the survival rate from pediatric cancers has increased significantly with advances in treatment modalities, long-term endocrine complications have also risen. This study investigated the frequencies and risks of endocrine sequelae in childhood cancer survivors who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Methods: This study included 200 pediatric patients who underwent HSCT. Clinical and endocrinological findings were collected retrospectively. The median follow-up duration after HSCT was 14 years.Results: Endocrine complications occurred in 135 patients (67.5%). Children who underwent HSCT at pubertal age (n=100) were at higher risk of endocrine complications than those who received it at prepubertal age (79% vs. 56%, P=0.001). The most common complication was hypogonadism (40%), followed by dyslipidemia (22%). Short stature and diabetes mellitus were more prevalent in the prepubertal group, whereas hypogonadism and osteoporosis were more common in the pubertal group. Being female, pubertal age at HSCT, and glucocorticoid use were predictors of an increased risk for any complication. Radiation exposure increased the risk of short stature and hypothyroidism. Hypogonadism was significantly associated with being female, pubertal age at HSCT, and high-dose radiation. Pubertal age at HSCT also increased the risks of osteoporosis and dyslipidemia.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that long-term endocrine complications are common after HSCT in children and adolescents. Age at HSCT is a critical factor for endocrine complications after HSCT. These findings suggest that surveillance strategies for endocrine complications in childhood cancer survivors should be specified according to age at HSCT.

Background: Pneumonia is the common lower respiratory tract infection among pediatrics, especially under five; it is a common cause of under-five children morbidity and mortality. Objectives of study: To identify nurses' perceptions toward therapeutic strategies for children with pneumonia and to find the association between their perceptions and their demographic variables. Methods: A Convenient sample of 46 nurses in Baghdad city from three hospitals) Kadhimiya Hospital for Children, Central Teaching Hospital of Pediatrics, and Child Welfare Teaching Hospital) included in the study to identify their perceptions regarding pneumonia in children. Results: The results of the study present that most of the nurses' participants in the age group (20-25 years) are female, with a diploma in nursing. There is an association between nurses' perceptions with many variables such as age, education level, service in the ward, and training courses. Conclusions: In general, nurses were well aware of the strategies used for children with pneumonia, but gaps in some items are likely due to their information taken from social media. Activating the Ministry of Health's media on the importance of global strategies for treating children with pneumonia is an important step to improve nurses' perception gaps.

Hemorrhoidal illness is widely regarded as the most frequent rectum and large intestine condition, according to studies. According to many researchers, this condition affects 2.9% to 27.9% of the worldwide population, with 4% showing symptoms. Thus, our study compared laser hemorrhoidoplasty(LHP) and open hemorrhoidoplasty(OH). A comprehensive structural model analysis was performed on patients: this covered age and sex distribution, clinical presentation, and clinical and laboratory test data. The patients were then randomly divided into two groups. Post-operative outcomes included pain, bleeding, ROU, hospital stay, and recurrence. The study used the Chi-square test to investigate two nominal variables. We found that four patients (8% OH group) did not fully recover from the condition. At the same time, no recurrences were observed in the LHP group. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that LHP was better than OH. In addition to the above, further studies must be done in this field.

Background: Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention. The diagnosis depends primarily on demonstrating an intimal flap in the ascending aorta by preoperative imaging. We present a case of acute type- A aortic dissection with an absent dissection flap in the ascending aorta.Case presentation: A 37-year-old presented with alternating consciousness and cardiogenic shock. His clinical history and findings of echocardiography were suggestive of an acute aortic syndrome; however, the computed tomography did not demonstrate a dissection flap in the ascending aorta. Immediate surgical repair was undertaken. The dissection flap was found to be intussuscepting into the innominate artery.Conclusion: This case report adds to the existing evidence that the absence of an intimal flap in the ascending aorta does not rule out a severe type-A aortic dissection.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by atrial muscle cells that has an endogenous antagonistic effect on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). It is believed to regulate salt and fluid balance and blood pressure. Blood samples (150) from males aged less than 20 to 55 years were collected from Al-Salam and Ibn-Sena Teaching Hospital in Mosul from 1/2/2022 to 1/9/2022. These samples, 5ml that include healthy and previously blood hypertension-diagnosed patients, were put into two tubes for hormonal and molecular study and divided into three classes: Control, which includes 50 samples from healthy individuals; hypertension without treatment patients 40 individuals and patients with treatment 60 individuals. Each class was divided into five groups according to their age. group (1) less than 20, group (2) 20-29, group (3) 30-39, group (4) 40-49 and group (5) 50-59 years. Serum ANP hormone concentration was measured, and the results revealed significant differences at between patients and healthy control groups. Hormone concentration had decreased in the 1,2 group while increased in groups 3,4,5 of treated and untreated patients compared with control groups with different group concentrations ranging from 28.86-23.16 pg/ml, indicating the effect of aging on hormone concentration. Also, the results revealed a different hormone concentration in untreated patient's groups that ranged between 12.97-28 pg./ml while the concentration of treated patient's groups ranged between 12.97-33.36 pg/ml, these differences in hormone concentration in all groups revealed the effect interference of aging and treatments that had a direct effect on the hormone concentration. Besides, the Amplicon copy numbers of the ANP coding gene (Nppa gene), considered an essential indicator of gene activities utilizing the real-time technique, showed a significant increase in patient groups, especially group (5) of both treated and untreated, compared with control. These results concluded that this hormone had an essential correlation with hypertension.

During a cholecystectomy, cystic duct anatomical variation mostly transpires might experience. Understanding the complex anatomy of the cystic duct and cholecystitis junction is crucial before undergoing biliary surgery to prevent severe ductal damage. This article highlights two unusual cases of irregular cystic duct, i.e., cystic duct narrow-wide and low lateral insertion. The first case was of a 66-year-old male patient having chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. The aberrant cystic duct entry was thought to be rapid and heading into the correct hepatic duct during surgery. Multiple calculi were discovered after more investigation of the common and proper hepatic ducts. Following the completion of the cholecystectomy, the standard and right hepatic ducts were drained using T-tubes. The two T-tubes were found in the cystic and common hepatic ducts, respectively, according to postoperative T-tube cholangiography. The distal choledochus residual stones were removed six weeks later by cholangioscopy through the T-tube's sinus tract. Preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the second case of a 44-year-old woman exposed to a lengthy cystic duct with a small and bent-in lumen. The cholecystectomy was done openly on the patient. Both of the patients recovered. The approach described by the authors for identifying structural changes in the cystic duct is preoperative or MRCP or ERCP, as well as intraoperative cholangiography or cholangioscopy.

Background: Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements characterized by their elevated density and atomic weight. These elements are present in varying proportions within the Earth's soil and rock formations, their distribution contingent upon geographical location. Heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, copper, and mercury, have been identified as substances that can adversely affect the reproductive system. These heavy metals are particularly harmful to the developing fetus. Objective: to assess the hemolytic effect of lead cadmium copper on the erythrocytes of pregnant women and study reduced glutathione concentration in pregnant women with anemia compared with healthy pregnant. Material and method: Blood samples were collected from pregnant women around Kirkuk governorate, Iraq. In addition to 30 samples for glutathione estimation (15 from anemia pregnant women and 15 from control). The study concerns the effect of different concentrations of single metal (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100) mM from Pb, (20, 15,10,5, and 1 ) mM from Cd, and (10, 7, 5, 3 and 1) mM from Cu individually on the erythrocytes hemolysis. Also, this study concerns the effect of the combined metals on the hemolysis of erythrocytes, which represent double (Cd: Pb) ,(Pb: Cu) &(Cd: Cu), and triple (Pb:Cd: Cu) metals with different concentrations on erythrocytes hemolysis. Glutathione concentration estimated in three trimesters in pregnant with anemia compared to healthy pregnant Results: The results showed that the hemolysis achieved by accessing the concentration of the metals, with (100) mM pb the range of hemolysis is between (94-96)% of the three trimesters, with (20) mM Cd the range of hemolysis is between (89-99)% of the three trimesters and (10) mM Cu the range of hemolysis is between (65-76)% of 3 trimesters, effect of the metals in first trimester Cd(99%) Pb(94%) Cu(65%), second trimester Cd(97%) Pb( 96\%) Cu(76%) and third trimester Pb(96\%)$>>$Cd(89\%)$>>$Cu(72\%). The levels of GSH that there were indicated non-significant ( p 0.05) difference in all patients and subdivided trimesters compared to the control.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: This essay aims to reconstruct young people's understanding of and attitude towards social entrepreneurship as a field of endeavour critical to developing crucial competencies in the New Economy. The study also aims to describe young people's perceptions of their willingness to participate in society and the current economy as agents.

Design/methodology/approach: a diagnostic study (based on a so-called task catalogue) was carried out with a group of more than 500 students in Indonesian vocational high schools, senior high schools, and private schools, as well as three workshops with students from particular school types.

Findings: According to the study, students are aware of the possibilities of engaging in social activism through broadly construed social entrepreneurship and third sector involvement. It was also proven that they are well cognizant of the opportunities and requirement for action in this regard. The materials that students have discussed transfer into skills required in the New Economy.

Research limitations/implications: A lot of variables that could influence teenage behaviour must be taken into account in modern study. These difficulties will undoubtedly merit consideration throughout the formulation and creation of the research's tools in further in-depth studies.

Practical implications: Young people's social entrepreneurship is constantly evolving, and even though its focus shifts (from shared management activities to civic engagement and social solidarity activities), it always refers to collaborative efforts on the cusp of economic and social reality. Young people's attitude towards carrying out duties that are beneficial to society is also evolving. Young people view them as a chance to address both societal issues and the difficulties posed by the postmodern world's transformations.

Social implications: Young people are more conscious and involved citizens as well as more responsible future members of the New Economy thanks to the competencies they have acquired.

Originality/value: The paper reconstructs the tools, strategies, and perspectives of young people towards the agency opportunities provided by social entrepreneurship. The knowledge that was gathered was examined in light of the project's competency-based competence issues.
