Virtual work, e-commerce, digital health, distance, or virtual education grew exponentially thanks to the confinement due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, the same happened with attacks and security incidents, caused by various circumstances. Personal data is generally the main target of hackers, this includes financial institutions. In 2020 alone, 12 known cybersecurity events occurred in Mexico that included institutions such as Condusef, SAT, Banxico, the secretary of public function, among others, in the last one personal data of public officials were violated and exposed(Riquelme, 2021). With the evolution of technology, attacks become increasingly sophisticated. However, one of the most used and effective systems to protect data is encryption that is related to computer security offers solutions to this problem since it is a discipline that addresses various techniques, applications and devices responsible for ensuring the integrity and privacy of the information of both the computer system and its users. This work seeks to explain the main encryption techniques currently used, the fundamental basis of its encryption process, the importance of the best-known standards in the computer age, the difference between symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption, when it can be considered hybrid encryption and where they are commonly used.

The quality assurance of materials in every process depends on materials science and engineering, since the characterization of materials is a fundamental process, for their control and innovation, as well as their proper functioning. In the synthesis of new materials, their properties depend not only on the type of raw material used (metal, polymer, ceramic, composite material), but also on the morphology acquired in the synthesis, structure, microstructure, etc. of the material obtained, hence the importance of metallographic characterization. Metallography is the science that deals with the microscopic study of the structural characteristics of a metal or an alloy, to study the microstructure, inclusions, as well as the thermal treatments to which the material has been subjected, in order to determine if the material complies with the specifications established in the Standards applicable to the design requirements for a specific use. The objective of this study was to present the basic techniques for the preparation of specimens to be evaluated metallographically, addressing the following topics: Generalities, Atomic structure: Nucleation and atoms, Crystal structure: Perfect crystals and crystals with imperfections. Substructure: Subgrains and other cellular structures, Microstructure: Grains of single metallic phases and configuration arrangements of alloys with multiple phase systems, Texture. Macrostructure. and Metallographic practice applicable to all metals. It is concluded that this study lays the foundations for subsequent and specific metallographic studies of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.

Published: December 2022

Artykuł przedstawia rezultaty badań nad wartościami z wykorzystaniem koncepcji badania wartości Miltona Rokeacha i Mirosława J. Szymańskiego. Zastosowano Skalę RVS oraz kwestionariusz „100 zdań – 100 opinii”. Przyjęto za L. Dyczewskim, R. Borowiczem i J. Mariańskim o spłaszczonym charakterze hierarchii wartości oraz braku w nich wyraźnych dominant. Celem badań było rozpoznanie hierarchii wartości autotelicznych i instrumentalnych oraz ich uwarunkowań. Problem główny badań wyrażono w pytaniu: Jaki jest system wartości przyszłych nauczycieli wczesnej edukacji? Z uwagi na eksploracyjny charakter badań hipotezy formułowano jedynie na sposób operacyjny. Jako wartości centralne uznano m.in. prawdziwą przyjaźń, dojrzałą miłość, przyjemność, ambicję, uczynność, odpowiedzialność, zaś za peryferyjne - świat piękna, zbawienie, posłuszeństwo, szerokie horyzonty i wyobraźnię. W konkluzji poczynionych analiz stwierdzono dominację wartości stabilizacji nad wartościami postępu i transformacji. Hierarchia wartości badanych, zgodnie z przypuszczeniem ma charakter spłaszczony. Rezultaty badań uzupełniają badania innych autorów w zakresie problematyki wartości i wskazują na konieczność wzmocnienia edukacji aksjologicznej, zarówno na etapie wczesnej edukacji, jak też na każdym kolejnym jej poziomie.

Published: December 2022

Freezing of Gait is the most disabling gait disturbance in Parkinson’s disease. For the past decade, there has been a growing interest in applying machine learning and deep learning models to wearable sensor data to detect Freezing of Gait episodes. In our study, we recruited sixty-seven Parkinson’s disease patients who have been suffering from Freezing of Gait, and conducted two clinical assessments while the patients wore two wireless Inertial Measurement Units on their ankles. We converted the recorded time-series sensor data into continuous wavelet transform scalograms and trained a Convolutional Neural Network to detect the freezing episodes. The proposed model achieved a generalisation accuracy of 89.2% and a geometric mean of 88.8%.

Authors: Giagnoni Nicola
Published: December 2022

Eleonora Ramirez de Montalvo is one of the most important historical figures of woman’s assistance and education during the seventeenth century. She is the founder of two lay congregations: the Minime Ancille of the Divine Incarnation (1647) and the Minime Ancille of the Holy Trinity (1650). This volume lists and describes in an analytical way the papers produced and preserved by the second of these, also known Montalve alla Quiete, which for over two centuries carried out an intense activity and exerted a considerable influence in Tuscany. The study of this archive provides a unique range of information both on the economic and political events, and on the relationships maintained by the Montalve with society growing its prestige and heritage. It also offers the opportunity to undertake countless historical research on facts that concern Florentine territory and the rest of Tuscany.
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan in Illinois

Published: December 2022

We study the allocation of dynamic electric vehicle charging investments from the policymaker’s perspective, which aims to meet statewide emission-reduction targets for the Illinois passenger vehicle sector. We determine statewide charging deployment trajectories over a 30-year planning horizon and estimate their emission reduction. Electric vehicle demand functions model the electrified vehicle market growth and capture network externalities and spatial heterogeneity. Our analysis indicates that most chargers need to be deployed in the first 10 to 15 years of the transition to allow benefits to accrue for electric vehicle drivers, availability of home charging influences consumers’ choice and drivers’ electrified travel distance, charging stations should be prioritized for frequent long-distance drivers, and spatial effects are crucial in accurately capturing the demand for electric vehicles in Illinois. We also develop a multi-criteria suitability map to site charging stations for electric vehicles based on economic, societal, and environmental justice indicators. We identify census tracts that should be prioritized during Illinois’ statewide deployment of charging infrastructure along with interstates and major highways that traverse them. Major interstates and highways I-90, I-80, I-55, and I-57 are identified as having high siting suitability scores for charging stations. Last, a novel location model was developed for equitable electric vehicle charging infrastructure placement in the Illinois interstate and major highway network. Two objectives were set to reduce detours and improve the ability to complete long-distance trips for low-income electric vehicle travelers and multi-unit dwelling residents. Our analysis indicates that if the system’s efficiency is the only consideration, low-income/multi-unit housing resident travelers are most likely to fail to complete their trips, while an equitable charging siting could mitigate this issue.
Pravila za upravljanje dokumentarnim gradivom i popis dokumentarnoga gradiva s rokovima čuvanja
Authors: Muić Vedran , Car Tomislav
Published: December 2022

Suvremene informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije pred stvaratelje i vlasnike ili posjednike dokumentarnoga i arhivskoga gradiva postavljaju složene izazove u uvjetima u kojima ih se većina još uvijek pretežno služi “papirnatom” dokumentacijom u poslovanju. Recentni Zakon o arhivskom gradivu i arhivima, Pravilnik o upravljanju dokumentarnim gradivom izvan arhiva te Uredba o uredskom poslovanju (za svoje obveznike) postavili su temelje digitalne transformacije sustava upravljanja dokumentarnim gradivom. U tom pogledu njihove odredbe nisu uvijek samorazumljive i jednostavne, posebice ako se uzmu u obzir uvjeti koje postavljaju drugi provedbeni propisi koji reguliraju područje uredskoga poslovanja ili specifičnu djelatnost stvaratelja i vlasnika ili posjednika gradiva. Zato o ovoj problematici treba promišljati sustavno i dugoročno, odnosno formirati strategiju prelaska institucije na digitalno spisovodstvo. U radu su analizirani reprezentativni primjeri iz uzorka svih pravila za upravljanje dokumentarnim gradivom i popisa dokumentarnoga gradiva s rokovima čuvanja stvaratelja i posjednika ili vlasnika, izrađeni prema novim propisima (i odobreni od strane Hrvatskoga državnoga arhiva), koji pokazuju kako interni normativi koji reguliraju upravljanje gradivom mogu (i moraju) postati integralni čimbenik takve strategije. Na temelju toga je razmotreno i koliko su stvaratelji i posjednici ili vlasnici uopće usvojili rješenja koja nude propisi kad je riječ o pripremi i provođenju digitalne transformacije.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous biomolecule, is considered a key player in the regulation of various essential cellular events. Normal physiology is determined by the level of endogenous H2S. Any alterations (upregulation and downregulation) to the level of endogenous H2S may lead to illness, including the onset of tumorigenesis. Over the past two decades, extensive research on the role of H2S in cancer development has affirmed the potential pharmacological means to suppress cancer progression by either inhibiting H2S synthesis in cells or exposing exogenously supplied H2S donors to treat different cancers. Some H2S donors and inhibitors release H2S or affect its synthesis. As a result, they have progressed through the development process into widespread clinical use and become increasingly important. The present study draws a detailed discussion on the types of H2S donors and inhibitors and their role in cancer research. We believe that this state-of-the-art review will empower the synthesis of H2S -based chemopreventive drugs and promote the need for further in-depth exploration of the associations between H2S and cancer treatments in clinical settings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the online learning process from offline to online. One of the references for measuring digital literacy levels is to directly observe the learning process that occurs using platforms that support distance learning. The purpose of this study was to analyze the digital literacy skills of elementary school students in the use of distance learning media and analyze the understanding of digital media of elementary school students in the use of distance learning media. The method used is qualitative with a phenomenological design. Data collection techniques using interview techniques, field observations, and documentation. The data validity technique uses source and technique triangulation. At the same time, the data analysis technique uses an inductive step. The results showed that the students of SD N 1 Brajan had a good level of digital literacy; students knew the benefits of digital media used as learning media, such as understanding the help of the media features used for practical benefits. Meanwhile, in applying digital media, students can also use it as a learning medium. This is because students are used to using these media in everyday life. In contrast, some students have difficulty applying digital media because they have the reason that the cellphones they use are still alternating with their parents, so the infrequent use of digital media will affect students' digital literacy skills. Teachers can make efforts to improve students' digital skills by providing learning media that can provide additional learning in the use of learning media that are foreign to students.

The article informs the community of Ukraine about the children’s universal multilingual online encyclopedia titled Vikidia and draw attention to the fact that it lacks a Ukrainian-language section. We emphasize the Ukrainian children’s audience does not yet have a high-quality digital encyclopedia and, obviously, Vikidia could fill this gap. At the same time, it is important that Ukrainian children’s encyclopedias or the Ukrainian-language segments of international projects such as Vikidia provide contents aimed specifically at Ukrainian children (currently, the vast majority of published in Ukraine children’s encyclopedias is a kind of translated literature).

Filosofía para niños de Mathew Lipman
Authors: Tébar Belmonte Lorenzo
Published: December 2022

Existen modelos y programas de desarrollo cognitivo que siguen siendo referentes para que los educadores puedan encontrar respuestas al cambio pedagógico que demanda la sociedad del conocimiento. El paradigma cognitivo de raigambre vygotskiana y piagetiana tiene una interesante expresión en los dos programas que confrontamos de Reuven Feuerstein y Mathew Lipman. Las nuevas funciones de la escuela y de los educadores focalizan su atención en cómo construir la mente de los alumnos. Todos los programas para enseñar a pensar o para desarrollar habilidades cognitivas se complementan, tanto en sus contenidos formativos como en su método, y nos dibujan un perfil del docente que los desarrolla en el aula.
El presente análisis quiere descubrir los elementos diferenciadores, aunque complementarios que pueden ayudar a asimilar una metodología constructivista y práctica. El docente precisa poder madurar los diferentes procesos que tanto el Programa de Enriquecimiento Instrumental como Filosofía para Niños desarrollan, para poder transferir esa metodología a la enseñanza de la disciplina de su competencia.
Este es el desafío de estos modelos, servir de lanzadera de procesos, de inspiración metodológica y de relación educativa adecuada, para, a partir de los contenidos disciplinares, lograr la construcción de la mente de los alumnos, enseñándoles a aprender a aprender en el aula y a lo largo de su vida con autonomía y eficacia. En el contraste de métodos, en la diversidad de modelos y estrategias está la fuente inspiradora del cambio pedagógico y del estilo educativo, que el mismo Robert Sternberg viene recomendando.
Dažu konstrukciju bezpriedēkļa verbs + adverbs un priedēkļa verbs + adverbs lietojums latviešu valodā
Authors:   University of Latvia, Auziņa Ieva
Published: December 2022

The research aims to study the constructions unprefixed verb + adverb and prefixed verb + adverb widely used in the colloquial speech, bliezt augšā – uzbliezt augšā, locīt iekšā – ielocīt iekšā, sist augšā – uzsist augšā, lauzties ārā – izlauzties ārā, their relations and usage in Latvian, and also the lexical meanings of verbs and adverbs involved in these constructions. Although constructions unprefixed verb + adverb and prefixed verb + adverb are reviewed in Latvian grammar books and other studies by analysing the verb expressing aspectuality, little attention has been paid to the constructions with a verb with figurative meaning and their relations. The descriptive, comparative, distributive, and transformative methods are used in the paper. The study found that, in the Latvian colloquial speech, constructions prefixed verb + adverb are used the same way as constructions unprefixed verb + adverb bliezt augšā, locīt iekšā, sist augšā, lauzties ārā, and the meaning of the prefix corresponds to the adverb. Several meanings have been found in these constructions in a certain context; in some cases, the meanings are opposite. It is concluded that these constructions are used in emotional, expressive utterances; these constructions make what is said emotional and vigorous.
Darbības vārdi varēt, drīkstēt un valodas ietekmējošā funkcija Latvijas Republikas Saeimas 2018. gada sēžu stenogrammās

The study focuses on Latvian modal verbs varēt ‘can, may’ and drīkstēt ‘may’ and their ability to perform the conative function of language. Both modal verbs are studied together because varēt can be used in the sense of drīkstēt and drīkstēt meaning contains a reference to possibility. The source of research is verbatim reports (the year 2018) from the Corpus of the Saeima (parliament of Latvia). The analysis of both modal verbs is based on the determination of modal meanings and interpretation of their ability to influence. The use of modal verbs’ person and mood has been taken into account. In the result of the research, it can be concluded that the conative function of both modal verbs in verbatim reports of the Saeima (the year 2018) in most cases is indirect and implicit. This is also evidenced by the lack of imperative and debitive mood of both modal verbs. Since the basic meaning of the verb drīkstēt is associated with the expression of permission (in negation – prohibition), it – unlike varēt – carries out a more direct and categorical conative function of language.

On the internet, people can reach an audience in the way they want, for example, through social media. A blog is a website, often updated daily, in which users write about their thoughts or experiences relating to a subject. Nowadays, blogs have various functions: informational, entertaining, and communicative. Blogs can include texts, photos, videos, and links to other blogs. Writing a blog is subordinate to its audience. Readers ask questions on various issues in the comments. Punctuation marks are used to express emotions and attitudes in the text. The aim is to examine the use of punctuation marks – exclamation marks, question marks, ellipsis, dashes, and double quotation marks – in Latvian authors’ blogs. The empirical base of the study consists of about 500 units of broad syntactic constructions, which have been extracted manually and from the “Latvian Language Blog Corpus”. 27 personal, one woman + man blog, and five cooperative blogs have been examined. Attention is paid to punctuation marks used in blogs and commentaries of blogs in various syntactic constructions, e.g., utterances and parenthesis. The study uses descriptive, comparative, and quantitative research methods. A quantitative analysis of the blog entries shows that expressive use of graphical means is more frequent in personal blogs. Bloggers use emoticons in personal and cooperative blogs.

In Latvian dictionaries, the word-formation has been analysed focusing on word-formation means different from those in written language, but there are few observations and conclusions about conversion. The dictionary of Vainiži subdialect and the dictionary of Nīca subdialect representing, respectively, the Livonian dialect (Vainiži – one of Vidzeme Livonian subdialects) and the Middle dialect (Nīca – one of Curonian dialects), have been used to establish similarities and differences in substantivization in two Latvian dialects. Notwithstanding substantial differences (differential/full type dictionary; publishing finished/unfinished), both dictionaries contain substantivizations of participles, which had been examined mostly using the descriptive method because quantitative methods could not be applied due to different types and scopes of the dictionaries. The process of participle substantivization has the potential for nomination – both the synonyms for already existing names and names for new facts and objects can be created on the grounds of the basic verb’s semantics. It is possible to create a name for a concrete object, e.g. dẽjamais ‘a tool for filling sausages’ in Nīca, uzliêkams ‘a compress’ in Vainiži, as well as create substantivized participles with the meaning of generalization, e.g. dzeramais, also dzerams ‘that what is drinkable; a beverage’ in Nīca, piêkuôžams ‘a snack’ in Vainiži. Differences in the use of present passive participles had been ascertained: in the dictionary of Nīca subdialect, the definite ending predominates, but the indefinite ending predominates in the dictionary of Vainiži subdialect. The conversion of compounds in the Livonian dialect is based on dialectal differences in word-formation, e.g. zâbakvȩlkams, zâbakvȩlkameš ‘a tool for taking off boots’ in Vainiži subdialect; whereas word-group names with a substantivized present passive participle are characteristic to the Middle dialect, e.g. linu laũzâmaîs in Nīca subdialect.

The article provides an analysis of cat names or felinonyms, where these cat names are derived from a name of an animal species. From the data set of 19,592 felinonyms, these are approximately 5.4%. 92 names of animal species appear within cat names. In the majority of cases, these felinonyms are derived from the lexeme ‘kaķis’ (cat), but the other 26 names of animal species are given once in each case. The article aims to find out the motivations behind the will to derive the cat’s name from a name of an animal species. Respondents have answered the question: Why have you chosen this particular name for your cat? Even though the motivations for the choice could be various, there is no doubt that it is the closeness of Latvians to nature that counts. The dominant motivation to choose the name of an animal species for a cat is its physical resemblance to the species in question. The second most popular motivation for this group of felinonyms is linked to the behaviour of the cat; moreover, in some cases, both the physical appearance and the behavior are said to motivate the choice of the name. Other factors that have influenced the choice of the felinonyms are the compliance of the name, euphony, owner’s hobbies, interests, and dreams, the will to have a specific felinonym, etc. The owners of cats have chosen existing names from the language or created occasionalisms. The majority of these names have been derived and created from simple names, but there are also suffix derivatives, ending derivatives, compounds, and subordinate word-groups. The research in socio-onomastics in zoonyms allows us to conclude that cat names are not simply derived from fauna semantics since the names of animal species within felinonyms can also appear indirectly or, in other cases, the linkage to the fauna could also be only presumed.
Rekurence kā teksta saistījuma līdzeklis latviešu zinātniskajos rakstos

Text cohesion can be achieved through grammatical and lexico-semantic means. Lexico-semantic means used in text cohesion can be defined as recurrence, as in Latin, the word recurrere means returning to a previous utterance or repeating it. Repetition of lexico-semantic means in the text can be named using a foreign word in the Latvian language, rekursija (recursion in English). In Latvian, the concept rekursija is related to phonology, defining it as ‘the final part of pronouncing a sound, in which speech organs deviate from the previously assumed state characteristic of a particular sound’ (translated from Latvian of the entry in Tēzaurs 2022). Recursion in English linguistics is often understood as the sequential use of grammatical structures, while in German text linguistics, the concept Rekurrenz is defined as the repetition of similar language means, elements, and forms in the text. The research goal is to identify types of cohesive devices used in scientific articles in the Latvian language. The research focuses on full or partial repetition of such cohesive devices as words and word collocations, substitution, etc. in the scientific texts in Latvian that have been included in the Corpus of Latvian Scientific Articles. The Corpus comprises 1401 texts published between 2008 and 2018 covering six scientific branch groups. A qualitative research method, content analysis, has been used. It can be concluded that scientific texts in Latvian contain exact repetitions, partial recurrence, ellipsis, and substitution as lexico-semantic cohesive devices. Research findings show the different density of recurrence means used in scientific articles in different scientific branches and how relatable the used recurrence means are to the article’s title and the indicated key words.

The authors of the article represent a project research group developing a new dictionary of terms in the field of education. During the project implementation, it is planned to develop an online dictionary with 3000 entries which would include the term in Latvian, its explanation with cross-references to the superordinate term, the subordinate term, and coordinate terms (if existent) and the equivalents of the term in English, German, French and Russian. This publication was created with the aim to describe the development of the Explanatory Online Dictionary of Educational Terms by identifying the main problems in the early stages of the research. The object of the research is the list of the educational terms created specifically for this project from the publications during the last twenty years (doctoral theses, monographs, political and planning documents, normative documents, teaching standards and programmes, dictionaries, glossaries, etc.) according to the principle of all-inclusiveness. The article’s methodology comprises the identification of problematic cases and typological description of these cases (mostly in relation to the selection of the terms and eventual development of the term list). The search for solutions has been revealed related to several subfields of linguistics, morphology, lexicology, word-formation, semantics, terminology and terminography. As the emerging terminographic publication is unique in the Latvian linguistics, this article makes almost no comparison with other lexicographical publications. Developing a reference material that meets today’s requirements we have looked for the technical solutions for the use of the online vocabulary and carefully developed the conceptual plan whic terminologically encompasses all levels of education and all subfieldsin the broadest entirety of the concept system. The results of the previous stages of the research, the development of the concept of the dictionary, wide collection of educational terms and arrangement in three large groups of terms (education policy and management, education actors and psychology, education science, pedagogy), have allowed for revealing the problematic issues of creation and use of terms. Additional research, conversations with the professionals of the field, involvement of the experts of Terminology Commission to decide on the best, most advisable term are needed to find solutions to the issues.
