Published: November 2024

This paper presents data that describe the effects on software development performance due to both the production methods of software
development and the social processes of how software developers work together. The advantage of this formalization is that it distinguishes precisely
those aspects of an environment that are useful in comparing and contrasting software development environments. In recent years, a number of
business reasons have caused software development to become increasingly distributed. Remote development of software offers several advantages,
but it is also fraught with challenges. In this paper, we report on our study of distributed software development that helped shape a research agenda
for this field. Our study has identified four areas where important research questions need to be addressed to make distributed development more
effective. These areas are: collaborative software tools, knowledge acquisition and management, testing in a distributed set-up and process and
metrics issues. The number of organizations distributing their software development processes worldwide keeps increasing. As a result, software
development is becoming a multi-site, multicultural and globally distributed undertaking. Beginning in the mid-1990s, a number of consultants
independently created and evolved what later came to be known as agile software development methodologies. Agile methodologies and practices
emerged as an attempt to more formally and explicitly embrace higher rates of change in software requirements and customer expectations. Some
prominent agile methodologies are Adaptive Software Development, Crystal, Dynamic Systems Development Method, Extreme Programming
(XP), Feature-Driven Development (FDD), Pragmatic Programming, and Scrum. This chapter presents the principles that underlie and unite the
agile methodologies. One method uses physical simulation of digraph springs and the other uses the Metropolis method. Both methods produced
keyboard layouts comparable to or better than existing best designs by manual trial and error methods. The Ranking of Software Development.

Abstract: The first part of the motivations behind the demand for explainable and interpretable models, emphasizing the ethical, legal, and
practical implications of deploying black-box models in critical domains. The discussion extends to the societal impact of decisions made by these
models and the importance of building trust among end-users. The second part explores the existing techniques and methodologies designed to
enhance the explain ability and interpretability of ML models. From traditional linear models to complex deep neural networks, delve into methods.
Special attention is given to recent advancements, including state-of-the-art attention mechanisms and layer-wise relevance propagation in neural
networks.
Search significance: The primary goal of any machine learning model is to demonstrate high ability by effectively capturing patterns, relationships,
and trends within the training data and generalizing well to new, unseen data. A model with high ability is capable of making accurate predictions,
which is crucial for its practical utility and effectiveness in various applications. Interpretability is essential for building trust and acceptance of
machine learning models. An interpretable model allows stakeholders to comprehend why a particular prediction was made, which is crucial for
model deployment, regulatory compliance, and ethical considerations.
Method: the approach involving a weighted sum essentially involves performing multiplication, while subtraction is employed for addition and
sorting. When considering candidate keywords, we’ve previously explored how they are generated and presented. The weighted sum of a fourdimensional feature constitutes the vector, which, however, is altered in the course of the process. The necessity for weights arises, as the four
characteristics possess different parsing capabilities. This encompasses both keywords and keywords. The greater the ability to differentiate, the
more effective the manual identification process can be. In reality, manually performing the identification of a weight vector for the domain proves
to be excessively burdensome due to its complexity.
Result: From the result Random Forest is in 1st rank whereas DNN 5 Layers is in lowest rank

Women’s Financial Inclusion, FinTech and Market-Based Solutions to Poverty Alleviation
Authors: Nadesan Majia
Published: November 2024

FinTech is heralded by international development entities, NGOs, and investment firms alike as delivering financial inclusion and women’s empowerment. This paper examines these claims and situates FinTech within 20 years of microfinance and micro-enterprise programs aimed at poverty alleviation. The promotion of what has been called “livelihood” finance as a neoliberal solution to development is challenged for ignoring the realities of credit for high-risk borrowers and the tragic past outcomes of failed experimentation in microfinance.
The 1957 Gold-Digging Craze and the Beginning of North Vietnamese Archaeology
Authors: Taylor K.W.
Published: November 2024

In 1957 a construction crew in Thanh Hoá Province discovered a brick tomb dating from the late second or early third centuries CE. Local villagers looted it, looking for gold. Simultaneously, an entrepreneur persuaded provincial authorities to permit him to dig for gold on a mountain and to share what he found with them. The discovery of another ancient tomb added to rumors about finding gold in old tombs that spread over several provinces. A government investigation produced a campaign to stop the looting of old tombs, the training of professional archaeologists, and the formation of the Institute of Archaeology.
From Other to Brother: Western Travel Writers and the Remaking of Russia
Authors: Snopek Ryan
Published: November 2024

The answer lies less in Russia and more in the socio-cultural climate of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Western Europe. By examining not only the accounts of Western travel writers to Europe but the writers themselves I will show how the “discovery” of Russia by Westerners was defined by Early Modern anxieties surrounding religion and society that emerged during the Reformation and Enlightenment. These travel writers especially the Germans Sigismund von Herberstein and Adam Olearius – a Catholic and an Evangelical Lutheran respectively – used Russia as a field on which to argue their own respective views on what an ideal moral society should look like in the process establishing Russia as an antithetical Other. In particular, they criticised Russian men as violent, licentious, and stupid drunks while Russian arranged marriages condemned women to essential slavery locked at home with husbands who expressed love for them only by beating them. In reforming Russian society Peter the Great responded to these exact criticisms, creating a new and outward-looking class of international aristocrats to represent Russia thereby de-othering it in the eyes of their Western European counterparts.
Radicals and Revisionists: Examining the Constitutional Crisis of Charles I
Authors: Morrison Nicholas
Published: November 2024

On January 30th, 1649, Charles I stepped out of his decadent Banqueting House in Whitehall onto a makeshift scaffold before a crowd of silent onlookers. His execution was the culmination of years of warfare and division that consumed England and her territories. Others view the crisis as having links to England’s storied legal past. Some viewed it as a violation of the “ancient constitution” and connected Charles’ reign to that of the Norman kings of the Middle Ages. This paper seeks to answer the question if the constitutional crisis of Charles’ I reign has precedent in England’s legal past. It will argue that contemporaries of the period did see Charles’ actions as a violation of their constitutional rights as free men of England. This view is not carried by most historians and legal scholars who often discount this notion as being dated or “whiggish.” First, this paper will examine the views of contemporaries from the radical Levellers to those of MPs in Parliament. It will be followed by an examination of the historiography covering the period which will weigh the opinions and arguments of historians and legal scholars.
How Is Middle-Class Parents’ Education Anxiety Generated? A Study Based on a Survey of Home Education of Junior Secondary School Students in 8 Provinces and Cities
Authors: Luo Jingya , Zhu Xinzhuo
Published: November 2024

Drawing on a 2022 survey of home education of junior secondary school students in China’ eight provincial administrative regions, this study seeks to examine the chief factors influencing the generation of education anxiety in Chinese middle-class parents using a moderated mediation model. Research findings include that: (1) education anxiety is pervasive among middle-class parents who exhibit high levels of education anxiety but low levels of education involvement; (2) the parent’s perception of educational stratification can significantly predict their education anxiety; (3) the relationship between the parent’s perception of educational stratification and their education anxiety is mediated by their expectation of child education; (4) the parent’s perception of educational competition has a moderating effect on the relationship between their educational expectation and education anxiety.

The electron transport layer (ETL) material plays a crucial role in determining the device efficiency and stability of organic solar cells (OSCs). Tin oxide (SnO2) semiconductor is commonly used as ETL in organic solar cells and recently has attracted significant attention. In this paper SnO2 particles deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are used as ETL layer in inverted organic solar cells with structure (FTO/SnO2/PTB7-Th:O-IDTBR/ MoO3/Ag). The characterizations of cell using the Ossila Solar Cell I-V Test System have been investigated as well as the structural properties of SnO2 thin film using a Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), The atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray spectrum have been also investigated. It has been found that the Power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cell is 15.08 %. The stability was measured for 30 min with continuous illumination under the ambient air conditions, it was decreasing gradually over the illumination period to about half initial value of efficiency. The FESEM images and XRD spectrum show that the films were crystalline. The XRD spectrum shows the presence of several peaks belonging to SnO2 nanoparticles. The optical properties of SnO2 film indicate the increase in the transmittance and refractive index spectrum, while the absorbance spectrum decreases, the maximum absorbance was observed at 320 nm wavelength and the optical energy gap record about 3.1 eV and the grain size for SnO2 reported around 20–60 nm

The introduction of zeolite fillers containing silver, copper, zinc, etc. into paper gives it bacteriostatic properties. The purpose of this work was to clarify the role of zeolite and to elucidate the possibility of imparting antimicrobial properties to packaging paper more simply by introducing into the paper pulp not ready-made zeolite fillers, but mixtures of zeolite and a salt of the corresponding metal. The experiments used heulandite-bearing tuff from the Dzegwi-Tedzami deposit (Eastern Georgia) and its amorphized form, as well as salts - silver nitrate, copper chloride dihydrate and zinc chloride; the paper was made in laboratory. It has been found that the introduction of silver nitrate into paper pulp leads to the reduction of silver ions and the formation of Ag0 nanoparticles with average size of 38 nm, which is facilitated by the introduction of crystalline zeolite. Copper chloride dihydrate introduced into paper pulp forms both large (> 200 nm) crystallites and nanoparticles (< 20 nm), zinc chloride forms nanoparticles. Bacteriostatic properties of paper samples were tested by the disk diffusion method using the cultures of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis, Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, fungal pathogenic yeast Candida albicans and a fungus Aspergilus niger. Silver-containing paper without zeolite fillers has the lowest activity, and with the introduction of fillers, zinc-containing paper demonstrates the highest activity against all microorganisms. Crystalline zeolite filler enhances the effect of silver against Salmonella and Bacillus subtilis, while amorphous filler enhances the effect of zinc against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi; both zeolite fillers weaken the action of copper.

A new universal gas-chromatographic method of identification of toxic impurities is proposed in order to improve the quality indicators of alcoholic beverages. Application of chromatographic methods in wine making is characterized by some peculiarities, which is stipulated from one hand by substance characteristics as they are and from the other by changes in chromatographic methods possibilities. The method allows to determine the quality and chemical composition of the alcoholic beverages, which to some extent determines the possibility of regulating its quality on a scientific basis. Modification of the methods presented in the work is based on utilization of packed and capillary-packed columns. They are mainly usable for quantitative analysis, are stable, characterized with good reproducibility and can be used as long as a year and more. Several immobile liquid phases – PEG-300, PEG-400, PEG-20000, SE-30 and polymeric sorbent – Poropak-Q, Separon-CDA – were tested in order to determine the optimum conditions for chromatographic separation. To achieve this goal, a combined chromatographic packed column (Poropak-Q+SE-30) based on the principles of adsorption and distribution chromatography was created. Chromatography of a twelve-component 0.1 % graded mixture (acetone, acetic aldehyde, butanone-2, methanol, propanol-2, ethanol, butanol-2, propanol-1, isobutanol, butanol-1, crotonaldehyde, isopentanol) was carried out. The analyses were performed in both isothermal and temperature-programmed modes.

The chromatographic method developed by combining air-adsorption and distribution chromatography (combined column) provides the possibility of effective identification and maximum separation of harmful micro-impurities in alcoholic beverages.

Sources of U(VI) compounds in ground and surface water are uranium-containing minerals and anthropogenic activity: nuclear and thermal power plants, mineral processing plants, mines, testing nuclear weapon. Due to toxicity and radioactivity of the compounds of this metal, their content in water is strictly regulated. In order to remove small amount of U(VI) from water, adsorption and ion exchange look most attractively. In this work, magnetite-containing composite adsorbent based on cellulose, which was produced from corn cobs, has been developed. Its advantages over synthetic adsorbents are cheap and available feedstock as well as a simple manufacture procedure. In order to provide high magnetite content (» 13.5 mass. %), both hydrophilic and hydrophobic constituents were removed from cellulose before the particle embedding. Mesopores, a size of which are 10 nm, make a contribution to porous structure of the composite and magnetite, pure cellulose is characterized by microporous structure. Comparing with this material, the composite shows a wider pH interval of U(VI) adsorption. The most favorable conditions are realized at pH 4–6, when the degree of uranium removal reaches 87–97 %. The composite shows a synergetic effect demonstrating the fastest adsorption than both magnetite and cellulose. Moreover, higher capacity of adsorption monolayer was found for the composite (0.71 mmol g–1) comparing with magnetite (0.14 mmol g–1). For utilization, the adsorbent can be added to uranium-containing ore before its treatment.
Impact of the transient groundwater with seismic load on the nailed slope stability
Authors: Mahdi Hasan Hadi
Published: November 2024

An analysis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the transient groundwater table with and without impacts of seismic loads on stability of excavation nailed slope using Bishop and Janbu simplified methods. The results showed that the factor of safety values increased with increasing of the groundwater table depth and reached a relatively maximum level for each of the two methods of analysis when the groundwater table drops to the depths 18, 19, and 20 m. Also, the results indicated that the percentage of increase in the factor of safety decreased significantly, starting from depth = 13 m, and the differences converge greatly to the point of fading at depths 17 and 18 m and these findings support the notion that the presence of groundwater table in the upper layers of the excavation sides poses a greater risk and increases the possibility of collapse failure.
Siva as a Varada Deity
Authors: Muñoz Gomez Paloma
Published: November 2024

The most common way Siva intervenes in the Sanskrit Mahabharata is by granting a character a ‘gift’ or ‘boon’ (designated by the Sanskrit term vara). This paper investigates the role of Siva in the Mahabharata by ascertaining the specific elements at play in boon transactions involving Siva. I analyse Siva’s boons in main plot passages, and in passages of secondary importance to the main plot, and compare these with other boon transactions, human and divine, including stories pertaining to asuras (demons). The paper proposes that human concerns and intentionality are core narrative building blocks in Siva’s role in the text. I discuss these propositions and their implications for ideas of human action and fate, concluding that Siva is best understood as a facilitator of a character’s will, and so of a character’s own fate. In evaluating Siva’s narrative function, this paper identifies elements commonly neglected by approaches focused on mythology and those centred on text history.
Ambivalent Adi
Authors: Arumugam Indira
Published: November 2024

This paper is a counternarrative to how the month of Adi is customarily depicted as wholly inauspicious and requiring avoidance of life cycle events. Instead, I foreground the explicitly polyvalent and especially ambivalent ways in which Adi is lived by Tamil Hindus. Adi is both an inauspiciously sterile and an intensely fertile period; marked simultaneously by sexual/domestic austerity, ritual proliferation, religious piety but also festivity and fun. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork and from literary treatments and popular exegeses, I suggest that the equivocal understandings and multifaceted practices of Adi make tangible oscillations between the competing but also connected demands of conjugality, work, piety and play. The usually inchoate tensions between an earthly, earthy life and religious obligations, as well as between subsistence and recreation, are rendered immanent not in scriptural theologies or even articulated exegeses but as part of everyday lives and habitual actions. Tracing how these concerns are being adapted to changing climates, watercourses and people’s desires, I engage with how Adi and its open-ended associations continue to evolve. Only within such a fruitful ambivalence, I suggest, can one make sense of the laden significance of Adi.
Powstanie w getcie warszawskim 1943 r. Spory o stosunek Polaków do Żydów

Published: November 2024

One of Hitler’s important goals, as stated in “Mein Kampf”, was the destruction of the Jews. He began implementing this plan with the outbreak of World War II. In the occupied Polish territories and as his conquests in subsequent European countries progressed, he ordered first the concentration of Jews in ghettos and their annihilation through progressive starvation, and from the spring of 1942 through their mass annihilation in special extermination camps. Those in Warsaw, Poland – they constituted some 3 million – in 1943 made a desperate attempt, with no real chance of success to resist, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. This resulted in the destruction by arson of some 50,000 Jews who remained there. This event and its aftermath provoke passionate disputes as to whether Poles provided, and to what extent, assistance to the murdered Jews. This sketch will show the disputes, and within the Poles, waged on the 80th anniversary of these events related to this. This is the aftermath of contemporary Polish “historical politics”.
A Scoping Study on AI Affordances in Early Childhood Education: Mapping the Global Landscape, Identifying Research Gaps, and Charting Future Research Directions
Authors: Chen Jennifer J.
Published: November 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI), manifested in the forms of technologies, systems, tools, and applications, has advanced rapidly, especially in recent years. It has permeated many aspects of human behavior and nearly all sectors of society, such as healthcare and education. In the context of early childhood education (ECE), AI has afforded valuable opportunities that directly and indirectly enhance children’s learning and development. While there are already two existing reviews of the literature on AI in ECE, they show either a lack of descriptive information concerning selected studies or inconsistencies between inclusion/exclusion criteria and selected studies, thereby raising concerns about their rigor. Representing a more methodologically rigorous effort and a significant contribution to the field of AI in ECE, this scoping study aimed to achieve three main goals: (1) “mapping” the global landscape of the current extent, range, and nature of relevant studies on the affordances of AI for use in ECE, (2) identifying potential research gaps, and (3) charting future research directions. Specifically, it addressed this overarching research question: What is the global landscape of the current state of knowledge concerning the affordances of AI for use in ECE? Specifically, the state of knowledge here refers to three aspects: (1) extent, (2) range, and (3) nature. First, regarding the extent aspect, the empirical knowledge was derived from 18 research articles in 11 countries and 16 peer-reviewed academic journals between 2005 and 2023, with 14 of these articles published in the past four years (2020–2023). Second, with respect to the range of study populations, it covered 15,081 children in early childhood (ages 2 to 8 years) across these 11 countries. Third, thematic analysis of these studies revealed four areas of AI affordances: (1) AI as tangible and intangible tools for interactive learning and information retrieval, (2) AI as technology for predicting/classifying children’s conditions, (3) AI as the object for learning by adapting to and personalizing children’s learning, and (4) AI as the subject for children's learning about it. Based on these findings, this scoping review identified three research gaps for future studies: (1) interviewing and/or surveying education stakeholders (parents, educators, policymakers) to explore the affordances of appropriate AI for use with, by, and for children bearing ethical considerations; (2) conducting group comparisons to investigate contextual factors contributing to the “AI divide” among children from different socioeconomic backgrounds; and (3) comparing sociocultural influences on AI use in ECE across cultures.

Çevresel adalet, insanların çevreyle kurduğu ilişkilerde ırk, yaş, cinsiyet, sosyo-ekonomik sınıf gibi farklılıkların yarattığı mağduriyetlerin bertaraf edilmesine yönelik bir kavram olarak 1970’li yıllarda ortaya çıkmış ve sonrasında farklı alanlarda da kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı çevresel adalet ile açık alan rekreasyonu arasındaki ilişkiyi gerçek vakalara dayanan küresel bir perspektifle bütünsel şekilde incelemektir. Bu noktada Küresel Çevresel Adalet Atlası (EJAtlas) web sitesinde dünya üzerinde “turizm-rekreasyon” başlığı altında raporlanan toplam 94 vaka, doküman analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bu kategorideki vakalar hem rekreasyon alanlarının yarattığı hem de rekreasyonel faaliyetlerden kaynaklanan olumsuz etkilerin ortaya çıkardığı eşitsizliklere odaklanmaktadır. Alanyazın incelendiğinde, açık alan rekreasyonu ve çevresel adalet ilişkisine dair çalışmaların sınırlı sayıda olması, bu çalışmanın sağlayacağı katkı özelinde önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Vakalar; politik, fiziksel, sosyal ve algılanan çevre kategorilerinde değerlendirilmiş, toplam vakaların yalnızca 17 tanesinde çevresel adaletin sağlanabildiği anlaşılmıştır. Çevresel adalet konusunda yaşanan ve raporlanan çatışmalar, en fazla Avrupa ve Amerika (71 vaka) ülkelerinde görülmüştür. Politik, fiziksel, sosyal ve algılanan çevre boyutlarında çevresel çatışmaların en fazla görüldüğü boyut ise politik çevredir.

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Frigya Vadisi’nin rekreasyonel kullanımına fijital tasarım önerisinde bulunmaktır. Araştırma, Frigya Vadisi’ni kapsayan Eskişehir, Afyonkarahisar ve Kütahya illerindeki paydaş grupları üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kota örnekleme yöntemine başvurulan araştırmada toplam 450 paydaşa ulaşılmıştır. Anket tekniği ile elde edilen veriler, regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre tüm paydaş gruplarının teknoloji kullanımına yatkın oldukları, fijital algılamalarının yüksek olduğu ve paydaşların teknolojik yatkınlıklarının Frigya Vadisi’nin fijital tasarımına yönelik algılarını olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, paydaşların teknolojik yenilikleri destekledikleri ve teknolojiye iyimser baktıkları, ancak teknolojiyi güvensiz ve rahatsız olarak algıladıkları; teknoloji bilgisini toplumsal düzeyde eksik olarak algıladıkları da belirlenmiştir.
Elde edilen sonuçlar, paydaşların Frigya Vadisi’nin fijital olarak tasarımını başka bir deyişle, teknoloji ile fiziksel ortamların birlikte kullanılması fikrini benimsediklerini göstermektedir. Araştırmada ayrıca, bu yeni yaklaşımın uygulanması için toplumsal teknoloji bilgisi düzeyindeki eksikliğin giderilmesi ve fijital kullanım ile ilgili eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi de önerilmektedir.

Turizm ve rekreasyon faaliyetlerine katılmak, bireylerin fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal refahlarına önemli katkılar sunmaktadır. Ancak erişim gereksinimi olan bireyler için bu faaliyetlere erişim çeşitli zorluklarla sınırlanmaktadır. Türkiye’deki erişim gereksinimi olan bireylerin tatil deneyimlerini iyileştirmek amacıyla tasarlanan bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki tatil köyleri ve otellerde fiziksel erişim gereksinimi olan bireyler için sunulan uyarlanabilir rekreasyon faaliyetlerinin etkinliğini ve kapsayıcılığını nitel bir araştırma yöntemiyle incelemektedir. Araştırmada, maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak seçilen 12 katılımcı (altı erişim gereksinimi olan birey ve altı animatör) ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, eri- şim gereksinimi olan bireylerin erişim zorlukları, donanım yetersizliği ve personel eğitimi konularında önemli sorunlar yaşadığını ortaya koymuştur. Animatörlerin uyarlanabilir rekreasyon faaliyetleri konusundaki bilgi ve deneyim eksiklikleri de belirlenmiştir. Bu eksiklikler, erişim gereksinimi olan bireylerin turizm deneyimlerini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışma, erişim gereksinimi olan bireylerin turizm deneyimlerini iyileştirmek için kapsamlı eğitim programlarının yanı sıra erişilebilirlik standartlarının artırılmasının ve özel donanımların temin edilmesinin gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, turizm sektöründe çalışan animatörlerin ve diğer personelin erişim gereksinimi olan bireylere yönelik farkındalıklarının artırılması hedeflenmektedir.
Attractions and Repulsions: How Competitive is the Hungarian Civil Service Today?
Authors: Paksi-Petró Csilla
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The aging of civil servants poses the greatest risk for public institutions in Europe, making it increasingly difficult for employers to offer a suitably motivating atmosphere and attractive working conditions for different generations. Lately, research has been focusing on the tools and human resource (HR) and communication strategies that can help retain talented workforce and increase their loyalty. The purpose of the study is to investigate the competitiveness of the Hungarian civil service through a literature review, exploring how attractive or repulsive a civil service career is in the Hungarian labour market. Finally, the article presents some suggestions on how governments can proactively attract and retain the talented next generation of civil servants.Design/Methodology/Approach: The article is partly descriptive and synthesizing, drawing on extensive, comprehensive knowledge and systematization of domestic and international literature and legislation.Findings: The greatest challenge in public administration HR management today is replacing the older generation, transferring knowledge and practical experience, as well as winning over generations Y and Z and creating attractive working conditions for them. The article summarizes the options to address these staffing challenges based on the literature and practice offering numerous solutions to recruitment and retention issues.Practical Implications: Public administration has always been considered a special field, with operating principles and processes differing significantly from those of the private sphere. A wide range of specialized literature has researched, through the explanation of generational change, the HR tools necessary for attracting and retaining today’s employees. Some of the proposed tools and measures may differ from the traditional organizational culture of the public administration. This article lays the grounds for the next empirical phase of research, which will investigate the main motivators for public administration employees and the factors that drive their commitment. This phase will also examine whether the motivators and commitment factors differ from those in the private sector and how the unique characteristics of public administration manifest in this field. By presenting development trends in Hungary, this study aims to contribute to the scientific discourse on the specific characteristics of this issue in Central and Eastern Europe.
Public and/or Private? Remedies Against the Different Decisions on Social Care Services in Hungary
Authors: Hoffman István
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The paper examines the multi-layered remedy system in social care services in Hungary. It first analyses remedies related to the obligation of public service provision, especially remedies against normative tools for public service provision (such as decrees on fees and service standards) and the omission of duties by public bodies obliged to perform these services. A secondary focus is on remedies against the decisions and omissions by service provider institutions.Design and Approach: Hungarian legislation interprets social care services as legal relationships governed by private law with partial public law regulation. The public remedy against the decisions of the service providers is complaints, which are governed by sector-specific (public) regulations. The research examines the remedy system using legal study methods based on dogmatic analysis and involves an examination of judicial practice, namely Hungarian courts decisions on major public law remedies.Findings: Based on dogmatic and empirical analysis, the study reveals that Hungarian judicial practice has interpreted public law remedies, specifically complaints, in various ways. Following an amendment of legal regulation, the civil law-based interpretation now prevails. Although this practice has been consolidated, tensions can be observed, especially in the case of omissions.Practical implications: The paper suggests a legislative solution to mitigate these tensions, recommending that decisions establishing social care services be formalised as public decisions.Originality: The paper is based on a dogmatic analysis of the social care remedy system and, as a new element, contains an in-depth analysis of the Hungarian judicial practice on this issue.

Pendekatan alternatif perlu diterokai dengan mengkaji potensi membangunkan biopestisid berdasarkan aplikasi kawalan biologi menggunakan nematoda, virus dan jangkitan bakteria terhadap serangga perosak untuk menawarkan penyelesaian yang lebih khusus dan lebih selamat berbanding racun kimia. Wolbachia (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) merupakan bakteria endosimbiotik yang telah mendapat banyak perhatian dan lebih dari sedekad ia digunakan secara meluas terhadap pelbagai pengurusan perosak dan vektor kerana mereka menunjukkan perubahan fisiologi sistem pembiakan dalam serangga yang dijangkiti. Berbanding menggunakan seluruh organisma sebagai agen kawalan biologi, novel Wolbachia sintetik peptida, WolFar telah disesuaikan dari kawasan yang dipelihara protein permukaan Wolbachia (wsp) dan pertama kali diuji pada spesies perosak invasif, kumbang merah palma (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus. Kajian ini telah dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti kesan peptida WolFar berbeza kepekatan (0.83 mmol/L dan 1.66 mmol/L) terhadap perubahan sel ovari RPW menggunakan teknik histologi dan pewarnaan H&E. Hasil menunjukkan WolFar boleh dimanipulasi sebagai biopestisid yang berpotensi untuk RPW kerana ia menyebabkan perubahan tidak normal pada histologi sel selepas rawatan. Penemuan baharu kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa peptida berasaskan Wolbachia, WolFar mempunyai potensi besar sebagai alat baharu untuk dibangunkan sebagai formulasi biopestisid untuk mengawal populasi RPW.

Obesiti telah menjadi kebimbangan kesihatan global dan kesannya terhadap kesihatan reproduktif terutamanya pada lelaki telah mendapat perhatian. Kajian ini menggunakan tikus jantan aruhan-obesiti sebagai haiwan model untuk mengkaji potensi terapeutik Nigella sativa (NS) dan Moringa oleifera (MO) dalam menangani isu ketidaksuburan berkaitan dengan obesiti. Kajian ini memberi tumpuan kepada sifat antioksidan N. sativa dan M. oleifera dan potensinya untuk mengurangkan tekanan oksidatif dan fragmentasi DNA sperma dengan kedua-duanya menjadi punca utama kepada masalah ketidaksuburan jantan yang disebabkan oleh obesiti. Kajian ini menggunakan 36 ekor tikus jantan Sprague Dawley yang dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan utama, iaitu kumpulan kawalan dan kumpulan rawatan yang setiapnya terdiri daripada enam ekor tikus. Kumpulan kawalan dibahagikan pula kepada tiga subkumpulan iaitu kumpulan normal, negatif (tikus teraruh obesiti tanpa rawatan) dan positif (tikus teraruh obesiti yang diberi 10 mg/kg/hari orlistat). Kumpulan rawatan dibahagikan kepada tiga subkumpulan iaitu kumpulan NS200 (200 mg/kg/hari), MO400 (400 mg/kg/hari) dan MO400+NS200 (MO (400 mg/kg/hari) + NS (200 mg/kg/hari)) selama 40 hari tempoh rawatan. Semua tikus kajian kecuali kumpulan normal teraruh obesiti dengan diberi diet tinggi lemak (HFD) sehingga mencapai nilai indeks Lee melebihi 310 sebelum diberi rawatan. Keputusan menunjukkan peningkatan aktiviti khusus enzim SOD yang signifikan (p<0.05), pengurangan signifikan dalam penanda tekanan oksidatif (MDA) (p<0.05) dan pengurangan peratusan fragmentasi DNA sperma yang signifikan (p<0.05) pada tikus yang masing-masing dirawat dengan herba NS, MO dan MO+NS berbanding dengan tikus kawalan negatif. Keputusan ini memberikan maklumat penting tentang mekanisme tindakan antioksidan herba NS dan MO yang berupaya memberi kesan perlindungan terhadap kesihatan reproduktif jantan dalam konteks obesiti.
