Published: September 2024

A difusão das tecnologias da informação contribui cada vez mais com o crescimento de dados gerados, tornando evidente as oportunidades presentes com a Mineração de Dados. Por outro lado, cresce também a preocupação com a privacidade de tais dados. A Criptografia Homomórfica detêm o poder de acabar com esta suposta dicotomia, permitindo operações em dados cifrados, sem a perda da privacidade de tais dados. Com isso, este trabalho criou três métodos diferentes para a geração de Regras de Associação para base de dados distribuídos, respeitando a privacidade de cada participante. Dados reais retirados dos roteadores de borda do backbone da Rede-Rio/FAPERJ são usados para validar a proposta.

A tradução de políticas complexas em ações práticas de configuração da rede é, frequentemente, conduzida por operadores humanos, resultando em erros que afetam o desempenho da rede. Em redes Open RAN, esse desafio torna-se ainda mais relevante, considerando o objetivo de automação inteligente da configuração. Este artigo propõe um sistema de gerenciamento baseado em intenção, que recebe comandos em linguagem natural através de um chatbot e os converte em políticas de rede. A avaliação da proposta é conduzida em uma emulação de rede definida por software no Mininet. O protótipo do sistema integra o chatbot Rasa ao controlador ONOS, permitindo que a configuração dos fluxos de rede seja derivada de instruções em linguagem natural. Os resultados indicam que o sistema atende às intenções em tempo constante, de até 100 ms, mesmo com carga crescente de fluxos nos comutadores.
„Rhythmus der Masse“: Die Wiener Arbeiter-Olympiade von 1931
Authors: Marschik Matthias
Published: September 2024

The three “Workers’ Olympiads” of the interwar period were not primarily about “sport”. Rather, the ideas and ideals of socialism were to be transferred to the world of sport and, at the same time, the culture of movement was to be integrated into a world on the road to socialism. In view of the enthusiasm, at least among male workers, for supposedly apolitical bourgeois sport and supposedly global Olympism, which competed with the nationalist “Turner”-movement and with constant internal conflicts between workers’ culture and workers’ movement culture, between theoretical claims and the practical adoption of a bourgeois sporting canon, this was an almost impossible undertaking, which was implemented very differently during these three events. The euphoria and hope for the future in Frankfurt (1925) was followed by a defensive mood of “¡No pasarán!” at the third edition planned for 1937 in Barcelona and finally held in Antwerp. The following article focuses on the 2nd Workers’ Olympiad, which was held in Vienna in 1931: It was not only the largest event, but also the one in which the core message of organized workers’ sport, that is, the presentation of the metaphorical ideal of an individual and collective workers’ body, was most clearly realized.

Ce que la lutte des reconnaissances fait au diagnostic dans Leibhaftig de Christa Wolf
Authors: Mühlethaler Louis
Published: September 2024

Cet article envisage le diagnostic fictionnel par le prisme des différentes formes de reconnaissance entre soignants et soignée à partir d’une analyse de Leibhaftig (2002). Ce récit a été écrit par Christa Wolf, dont la voix narrative double autofictionnellement celle de sa narratrice, atteinte d’une étrange maladie d’ordre possiblement psychosomatique et immunitaire. La maladie de cette narratrice ne semble pas reconnue de manière assez adéquate par les médecins. Leur vision essentiellement « immunologique », formulée à l’endroit de la malade traitée étant réductrice, l'art de la narratrice consiste à pointer les défaillances d'un système médical qui objective le corps souffrant et tente de le guérir sans en prendre soin. L’objectif de cette contribution est de mettre en rapport le diagnostic et les trois formes de reconnaissances (autour desquelles se structure l’article) théorisées par Ricœur (cf. 2006). La première forme – identificatoire – de reconnaissance correspond dans le cadre de l’étude du récit wolfien aux tentatives et tentations du diagnostic immunitaire. La seconde forme de reconnaissance consiste dans les lectures et relectures de la personne elle-même. La troisième forme se place quant à elle sous l’angle des conséquences des réciprocités narratives dans l’accompagnement du diagnostic. La conclusion de l’article envisage l’ambiguïté du diagnostic, interrogeant la tension qu’entretiennent fiction et modalité questionnantes. L’un des objectifs de la réflexion est ainsi de fragiliser les lignes de la relation entre le soignant et le soigné : en complexifiant la vision traditionnellement honnethienne d’une « Lutte pour la reconnaissance » (cf. Honneth 1992) en une lutte des reconnaissances, la voix de ce récit porte la dimension d'une « moindre autorité » (cf. Samoyault 2020) de la littérature par rapport à celle de la médecine. Elle permet de sortir d'une vision trop schématique de l'immunité médico-immunologique, en articulant la question diagnostique au déploiement sémantique des reconnaissances.
Ni patient, ni soignant : le visiteur au chevet du lit d’hôpital
Authors: Brault-Dreux Elise
Published: September 2024

Cet article analyse la représentation de l’expérience de la visite à l’hôpital dans des poèmes contemporains. Dans la chambre d’hôpital, le visiteur cherche sa place : il se poste, presque comme une anomalie, entre le patient alité et le personnel soignant affairé. Son rôle est en partie contraint par une liste de règles établies par l’institution. Dans cet entre-deux, le visiteur est ainsi spectateur et certains poètes ont su évoquer subtilement les émotions générées par un spectacle si particulier, tant par la scène qui y est jouée que par le contexte de représentation. Il arrive au visiteur d’être témoin de la mort du proche sur son lit d’hôpital : l’article se conclut sur cette « mort en seconde personne » qui, dans plusieurs poèmes, se traduit par un inconfort, un décalage, une expérience de l’entre-deux, de l’espace qui sépare le visiteur vivant du proche décédé.
Histoires d’art abstrait dans l’entre-deux-guerres : entre figuration et plastique pure, entre passé et modernité
Authors: Sergent Marion
Published: September 2024

Comme les géographes Julie Le Gall et Lionel Rougé le préconisaient, il faut oser l'entre-deux en l'appliquant ici à l'histoire de l'art et plus particulièrement à l'histoire de l'art abstrait. À travers les écrits d’artistes et d’historiens de l’art de la première moitié du XXe siècle et en particulier l’entre-deux-guerres, cet article s’intéresse à des formes situées entre figuration et plastique pure. Revenant plus spécifiquement sur le cas des artistes musicalistes, plusieurs d’entre eux voient l’abstraction non pas seulement comme une tendance proprement moderne mais qui se retrouve dans diverses traditions anciennes et extra-occidentales.
Interviews with Rt Rev. Dr Jill Duff, a female bishop in the Church of England
Authors: Camp-Pietrain Edwige
Published: September 2024

Jill Duff was appointed as one of the first female bishops in the Church of England. She embodies different sorts of “entre-deux”, through her position and her own path. In these interviews, she deals with her ministry as a woman, working in deprived communities, as part of an established Church. She also explains how she conciliates the legacy of her initial training as a scientist and early career in the oil industry with her current position. She regards these specificities as assets that enrich her work.
Musical Poetics in ‘Four Quartets’: A Transcendence of the Individual Will
Authors: Koo Gwenda
Published: September 2024

It is true that a great piece of music expresses to us something that words cannot express, and which therefore we cannot explain in words; it is true that music in its own way enlarges our range of emotion. But the moment a poet sacrifices sense to sound he ceases to write poetry (Eliot, Brooker and Schuchard 2019: 16). T. S. Eliot.Underlying the ‘Four Quartets’, arguably one of Eliot’s masterpieces, is a desperate search and expression for the real essence of life: one that encompasses an inarticulate, universalised emotion to transcend the individual will. A metaphysical poem, ‘Four Quartets’ is a clear allusion to Eliot’s desire in achieving a universal will that stretches beyond life and the external reality to reach the realm of a timeless still-point. Aiming to write poetry that could ‘get beyond poetry’ – get beyond life – Eliot’s experimentation in threading music and poetry together elucidates the importance of musicality in poetry (Matthiessen 1947: 90). With its power to evoke a ‘world unconscious’ to reveal the absolute, music gives form and pushes poetry beyond the limitations posed by the semantics of words (Virkar-Yates 2017: 82). This article examines Eliot’s musical pattern of uniting sound and sense in ‘Four Quartets’ to argue that a musical experience of poetry could transcend time: in exposing both poetry and life ‘naked in their bare bones’, Eliot aspires towards a state of absolute harmony in surrendering the individual to the universal will (Matthiessen 1947: 90).

Academic integrity as a core value for masters of laws: legal and pedagogical aspects
Authors: Serhiienko Anfisa
Published: September 2024

The concept of academic integrity and its place in the system of values of future Masters of Laws are considered in the article. Using terminological analysis, the essential characteristics of “integrity” and “academic integrity” categories are determined. An overview of the legislation regulating the relations of participants in the educational process in the context of academic integrity is made. It is emphasized that the Masters of Laws’ academic integrity is one of the important components of the activity component of value and semantic competence. It is noted that the formation of academic integrity begins in the process of obtaining education and takes place in both legal and pedagogical aspects. The legal aspect is to identify different types of violations of academic integrity and to establish legal consequences for these violations. It is emphasized that the pedagogical aspect involves educational activities of HEIs among law students on the implementation of the principles of academic integrity. The relationship between the pedagogical and legal aspects of compliance with the norms of academic integrity is determined. The six fundamental principles developed by the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI), which ensure the implementation of academic integrity in HEIs educational process, are presented and substantiated. It is emphasized that it is effective to use online surveys of educational process participants to monitor the implementation of academic integrity. This requires the development of appropriate questionnaires by HEI staff. On the example of the Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University, there are considered the measures by which the principles of academic integrity can be effectively implemented in HEIs: guest online lectures with the participation of invited lecturers; webinars during which experienced professionals discuss with higher education applicants any complex issues related to the problems of academic integrity; information and awareness-raising events for everyone, where students share their own experiences and exchange useful information. It is proved that the constant popularization of the ideas of academic integrity among law students through the proper organization of a value-forming educational environment creates conditions for morally conscious lawyer training.

Published: September 2024

The rising threat of antimicrobial resistance, particularly among Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria, has spurred interest in alternative sources of antibacterial agents. This study evaluates the antibacterial efficacy of three medicinal plants—Acacia nilotica (Fabaceae), Syzygium aromaticum (Myrtaceae), and Ziziphus spina-christi (Rhamnaceae) against ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Clinical isolates of these pathogens were obtained from hospitals in Khartoum, Sudan. The plants’ active compounds were extracted using 80% ethanol, and their antibacterial activity was assessed via the cup-plate agar diffusion method. Additionally, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of each extract was determined. The results indicated that A. nilotica and S. aromaticum extracts exhibited significant antibacterial activity, while Z. spina-christi demonstrated no effect against the tested strains. These findings underscore the potential of A. nilotica and S. aromaticum as sources for developing novel antibacterial agents targeting ESBL-producing pathogens.

Introduction: Patients with congenital heart diseases that affect the outflow tract of the right ventricle usually develop lesions at both the pulmonary valve and the pulmonary branches. We present a case in which critical stenosis of the right pulmonary branch was treated with a low- profile peripheral stent 7 days after reconstructive surgery. Method: Retrospective review of the clinical case, pre-surgical condition, surgical technique, complication and resolution during the hospital stay. Result: Effective angioplasty of the right pulmonary branch with a low-profile balloon-expandable stent. Subsequent favorable clinical evolution. Conclusion: Post-surgical injuries must be addressed early both for diagnosis and treatment, in order to obtain better clinical results. For this, the correct functioning of the multidisciplinary team work is necessary.

Authors: Singh Avinash Kumar , Mukherjee Kampan
Published: September 2024

A Markov Decision Process based decision model is proposed in this paper for computation of optimal decision policy for the project portfolios. As projects are one time activity, often sufficient past data is not available for estimation of the input values required for the decision model. This model requires two matrices the state transition matrix and rewards matrix as input. In this paper, Analytic Hierarchy Process is used for estimation of these input matrices through the use of collective wisdom of decision makers. Markov Decision Process is used for computation of the optimal policy. The developed model is applied on a case study.
COMPARING AND CONTRASTING INDIA’S NEP 2020 AND UNESCO'S EDUCATIONAL POLICY USING TEXT ANALYTICS
Authors: Tholath Deepa Ittimani , M Ramasubramaniam , M.J Xavier
Published: September 2024

In the coming decade, India’s ambition to become a developed nation will have to be fuelled and facilitated by the policies adopted by the government of India. These will in turn have social and economic impact. The National educational Policy (NEP) 2020is a policy by the government of India which envisions development of inclusive and accessible education to the masses. This also aims to provide lifelong learning opportunities and processes by introducing flexibility into the previously rigid educational system in India. As part of the global educational ecosystem the NEP 2020 policy in India should also be looking at integrating the global educational policy guidelines. Which has changed from “Education for all to enrolment to learning that is inclusive, equitable, effective and relevant,” as stated in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 – Education 2030 Agenda, UNESCO (2017). All the member countries have agreed to integrate lifelong learning into their policies based on their national priorities which will have an impact beyond social and economic development and facilitate sustainable development. In this context this study compares the NEP 2020 policy document to UNESCOs Educational Policy which is an integration of the core concepts and targets of SDG4 using text analytics to identify the trends and to compare the same. The text analytics software used is KNIME which analysed both the documents to give a word cloud for each as well as a count of repetitive occurrence of keywords and collaborative occurrence of certain word sets in each of the documents which helped in the process of grouping and interpretation of the trends.
Integrating Trade and Disintegrating Production in Manufacturing Industries: Evidence from APEC and EU Nations
Authors: Paul Anusree , Barua Alokesh
Published: September 2024

Nowadays, the bulk of world trade in commodities consists of intermediate goods that play a crucial role in developing production and value. As a result, the global process of production is becoming much more interconnected than ever before. Production fragmentation due to vertical disintegration has profoundly impacted growth in world trade and production by vertical specialization. This study is purported to analyze the vertical integration and international outsourcing of manufacturing firms at the cross-country level. We have calculated domestic and foreign value-added contents in export and output to measure the degree of integration and outsourcing of the manufacturing firms using the World Input-Output Database. Our analysis shows growing backward linkages and global outsourcing in developed countries in APEC and EU regions. Region-wise, we see that high-tech processed intermediate manufacturing like chemicals, pharma, computer, electronics, optical machinery equipment, and motor vehicles have expanded in the developed countries of APEC and EU. Developing APEC has revealed higher linkages in the value chain of low-tech primary products used as intermediaries and processed intermediate goods like food; coke and refined petroleum, basic metal, etc. Among emerging Asia, China has increased its linkages in GVCs in high-tech industries like computers, electronics, optical, electrical equipment, etc.
Extraction of Active Compounds from Mangrove Snail Meat (Terebralia sulcata) as an Antibacterial Agent Against Escherichia coli
Authors: Yulianto Agus
Published: September 2024

Bacterial Resistance is defined as the inability of antibiotics to inhibit bacterial growth systemically, mainly caused by synthetic chemical antibiotics. Therefore, research on pharmacological alternatives to synthetic antibiotics with natural antibacterial agents is needed, one of which is the crude extract of mangrove snail (T. sulcata) tested against Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. This study conducted phytochemical screening and antibacterial potential testing of T. sulcata meat extract. T. sulcata was extracted with a polar solution of Methanol pa 1:4. Antibacterial testing against E. coli was performed at different extract concentration levels (5,000 ppm - 20,000 ppm). The results showed antibacterial activity with the formation of inhibition zones in the E. coli bacterial suspension medium. ANOVA analysis indicated that the mangrove T. sulcate extract at various concentrations influenced the growth of E. coli bacteria. Differences in treatment demonstrated an increase in extract concentration, which was directly proportional to the diameter of the inhibition zone. Observations of changes in the inhibition zone indicated that T. sulcata extract exhibited bacteriostatic properties against E. coli, characterized by a reduction in the diameter of the inhibition zone at each treatment concentration level. The formation of inhibition zones is believed to be due to the activity of active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, and terpenoids.

Best interest of children of incarcerated parents
Authors: Đorđević Violeta , Brkić Miroslav
Published: September 2024

This paper is based on an analysis of the protection of the best interests of children whose parents are serving prison sentences in the Republic of Serbia. The research aims to identify mechanisms and legal frameworks directed towards their protection, particularly through the application of the principle of the best interests of the child. Through an analysis of relevant laws and legal standards concerning the rights of the child and individuals serving prison sentences, the paper identifies challenges that these children face during their upbringing. The research results indicate insufficiently clear definition of the principle of the best interests of the child, especially regarding the preservation of regular direct contacts between children and parents serving prison sentences. The importance of improving collaboration between professionals in the field of social welfare and the criminal justice system is emphasized, along with their continuous education to ensure adequate support and protection for this vulnerable group. In this regard, there is an indicated need for improvement of laws and policies related to children with parents in prison to ensure effective legal protection and support in the implementation of the principle of the best interests.

Published: September 2024

Tenebrio molitor is an easily obtained highly nutritional alternative source of protein in animal feed. To get good results in growth performance and nutritional composition, it is necessary to know the diet digestibility and dietary needs of T. molitor. In the experimental condition, the T. molitor was fed with wheat bran and oat flakes, two easily accessible diets on the local market at an acceptable price. Both groups (four replicates each) of T. molitor were fed the same diet weekly (25 g of feed and water were supplied through agar). The production parameters such as feed conversion, intake of feed, and growth during the whole experimental period were observed. At the same time, the digestibility study was performed to obtain the coefficient of digestibility of the dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, crude fat, neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), and hemicelluloses. For both diets, the growth parameters were relatively similar having been slightly better for the oat flakes. The feed conversion ratio for wheat bran and oat flakes was 2.16 and 2.00, with growth per unit average of 46.37 g and 50.30 g respectively. The digestibility trial showed much better digestibility of oat flakes with the average digestibility coefficient of dry matter of 0.78, organic matter 0.80, crude protein 0.46, and crude fat 0.85. The digestibility of wheat bran was for dry matter 0.50, organic matter 0.51, crude protein 0.33, and crude fat 0.88. Both diets can be successfully used for the nutritional needs of T. molitor, however, using the oat flakes gives better growth performance and digestibility results. The choice of the diet will depend on the costs at the moment.
How macroeconomic determinants influence the bank liquidity: The case of Serbia
Authors: Kalaš Branimir , Mirović Vera , Pavlović Nataša
Published: September 2024

The aim of the research paper is to highlight the importance of macroeconomic framework to banking sector stability, as well as determine how selected macro determinants influence bank liquidity. The paper analyzes the influence of macroeconomic determinants on bank liquidity in Serbia from 2008 to 2022. Employing OLS model, the research discovered a significant influence of GDP growth rate, inflation, unemployment and gross savings, while gross government debt negatively affects bank liquidity, but without statistical significance. The obtained results indicate that a higher GDP growth rate and inflation rate lead to greater bank liquidity, while a greater unemployment rate erodes the bank liquidity for the observed period. Likewise, a sufficient level of gross savings enable positive influence on bank liquidity, while increased debt level has harmful effect on bank liquidity. These findings can be lucrative for bank managers, regulatory authorities, and economic policymakers during creating strategies, policies and procedures in terms of bank liquidity and stability.

Published: September 2024

Objectives: Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest represents a significant public health issue as the third leading cause of death worldwide. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between initiation and non-initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation measures in relation to the patient's age. Materials and Methods: The study included epidemiological data on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests collected through the European Resuscitation Council's EuReCa study questionnaires, covering the period from October 1, 2014, to December 31, 2021. Variables are presented as frequencies and percentages. Analytical statistical steps included the Chi-square test to examine the association between categorical variables and the Fisher exact probability test. Results: A total of 8,349 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases were recorded during the observed period. Out of that number, CPR was initiated in 2,758/8,349 cases (33.1%). A statistically significant difference was observed depending on the age group of the patients (ch2 (3) = 225.376; p<0.001). A statistically significant difference in the frequency of initiating/not initiating CPR measures between genders was also observed in the age groups of 40 to 60 years (ch2 (1) = 5.072; p=0.024) and over 60 years (ch2 (1) = 271.585; p<0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in other age categories. In the group of patients in whom CPR measures were initiated, a statistically significant difference in the frequency of return of spontaneous circulation at the scene was observed among different age groups (ch2 (3)=16.764; p<0.001). However, this difference was not observed when comparing the frequency of admission to the nearest hospital with spontaneous circulation (ch2 (3)=4.342; p=0.227). Conclusion: This study is the first in Serbia to address the issue of cardiopulmonary resuscitation depending on the age of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Our data indicate a significantly higher percentage of non-initiated resuscitations compared to the European average, notably, among older patients. The observed differences in the frequency of initiating CPR between genders, particularly among older women, also require further research to understand and potentially reduce existing inequalities.

Giant basal cell carcinomas (GBCCs) are rare neoplastic lesions with an incidence less than 0,5% and destructive capabilities higher than their precursors. Mushroom-like growth of cutaneous tumors described in 1806. by Albert, is still a rare phenomenon. GBCC's with mushroom-like macroscopic characteristics were hardly reported. We present a mushroom-like GBCC, treated successfully with wide surgical excision. An 85-year-old male with a progressively growing skin lesion was admitted to our clinic. He came seeking medical care with a bleeding painful skin lesion. The tumor developed from a small papule into an exophytic pedunculated lesion with a fetid, ulcerated, exudative surface. Physical examination revealed 7x5x1.5cm mushroom-like, exophytic, pedunculated mass with rolled borders and partial cutaneous necrosis, signs of secondary infection and bleeding. The lesion was surgically removed. Histopathology showed basal carcinoma cell (BCC). Two months post-operatively there was no signs of tumor recurrence and secondary metastases without a need for additional treatment. GBCCs can still be identified in the 21st century. It arises due to neglecting of the lesion, inconspicuous localization usually covered by clothing. Mushroom-like morphology is rare in BCCs. Treatment is usually surgical excision, with a high success rate and an improvement in quality of life.

Mediastinal masses originate from the structures of the mediastinum or neck organs and can represent primary benign or malignant tumors, as well as metastases. In most cases, they are detected through radiological imaging, such as an X-ray of the enlarged mediastinum. In the differential diagnostic approach, the acronym "the terrible T" (thymoma, teratoma, terrible lymphoma, and thyroid) is useful. A retrosternal goiter with its compressive effect can lead to changes in the voice, difficult speaking, tracheal compression, and potentially superior vena cava syndrome. Additionally, visualization techniques, thyroid hormones, and tumor markers can be helpful in the diagnostic process. We presented a patient who, during a meal, stopped eating, lost consciousness, and experienced asystole. Due to a chest injury sustained during resuscitation, a computerized tomography (CT) scan was performed. The CT scan revealed a nodular formation in the right lobe of the thyroid gland that extends through the upper thoracic aperture behind the sternum, exerting a pronounced compressive effect on the trachea. Based on the examination, it was concluded that the patient has a goiter with retrosternal and mediastinal extension, accompanied by thyrotoxicosis, which was most likely induced by the iodine contrast agent. Thyrostatic therapy was initiated, followed by surgical treatment of the retrosternal goiter. Computed tomography is the most accessible form of imaging for preoperative assessment of goiter position and its extent, while surgery remains the gold standard for treating symptomatic retrosternal goiters.

The development of digital technologies has led to new opportunities in higher education teaching, which, among other things, relate to the way of taking notes. Starting from the premise that note-taking is an important academic activity that enhances the learning process and outcomes, we were interested in what importance students attach to note-taking, as well as in what way the use of technology in the teaching process influences the way notes are taken. Accordingly, the aim of the research was to gain insight into students' perceptions and practices regarding note-taking in analogue and digital environments. In accordance with this, qualitative research was carried out with students, using the technique of in-depth interviews. The research sample consisted of 14 students of various scientific and artistic disciplines at the University of Novi Sad. Based on the set goal and the analyzed transcripts, the participants' answers were grouped into three categories: taking notes during lectures - analogue and digital environments; way of taking notes during lectures - analogue and digital environments; the meanings that students attribute to note-taking. In conclusion, it is emphasized that most of the research participants take notes, giving them different meanings, which speak in favor of their importance in the context of learning. Although the application of technology has a significant impact on note-taking, the majority of research participants still takes notes in the traditional way. An interesting finding is that in some cases the digital environment can lead to reduced motivation to take notes. Nevertheless, based on the obtained results, it is not possible to make generalizations. In order to gain a deeper insight into students' perceptions and practices regarding note-taking and to formulate specific guidelines for educational practice, further research is needed.

This qualitative study investigates the educational experiences and perspectives of gifted students in Serbia during emergency remote education (ERE). Semi-structured interviews addressing effective and ineffective school practices were conducted with gifted students (19 students from elementary schools and 11 from secondary schools), who were selected based on recommendations from school counselors due to their exceptional abilities and achievements. Through qualitative content analysis we identified six categories highlighting effective and engaging practices, such as provisions for the gifted, video conferencing, and the use of learning management systems (LMS). Conversely, seven categories referred to disengaging factors, including traditional teaching methods, limited interaction, inadequate educational support, challenges with assessment monitoring, compliance with epidemiological measures, and insufficient individualization in regular classes. Despite these challenges, many students showed understanding towards teachers and did not express negative feelings regarding the lack of enrichment and support. Notably, students valued teachers' responsiveness when initiating contact. The study concludes that gifted students were not sufficiently recognized as a vulnerable group during ERE, often needing to self-organize amidst the educational disruptions caused by the pandemic. The findings underscore the necessity of ongoing teacher education in implementing engaging teaching methods across all student groups and supporting gifted students in virtual, hybrid, and traditional learning settings.

By constructing an evolutionary Bowan model of the recycling decisions of power battery manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as battery manufacturers) and new energy vehicle manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as vehicle manufacturers) on waste power battery recycling, the factors affecting whether battery manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers choose to recycle or not, as well as the conditions under which both decide to recycle, are analyzed under two scenarios: no government intervention and implementation of a subsidy-penalty policy. The system dynamics model is then used for simulation. The results show that: (1) In the case of no government intervention, when the repurchase price of the battery manufacturer is greater than the maximum value of the sum of the unit recycling price and recycling cost of the battery manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer, both recycle waste power batteries. (2) In the case of the government implementing a subsidy-penalty policy, the repurchase price of the battery manufacturer is not affected by the government penalty. Compared with the case of no intervention, an increase in the government unit subsidy will reduce the minimum repurchase price of the battery manufacturer. (3) When the government implements a subsidy-penalty policy, when the unit subsidy is greater than the threshold, the battery manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer choose to recycle waste power batteries. (4) The government's implementation of a subsidy-penalty policy can significantly shorten the time it takes for battery manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers to recycle waste power batteries. This study can provide a reference for the government to promote battery manufacturers and new energy vehicle manufacturers to recycle used power batteries.

In order to meet the needs of curriculum construction for the integration of scientific research and teaching under the background of "new engineering", a multi-dimensional and hierarchical comprehensive experimental platform based on Python was designed. Guided by the professional talent training program, the platform designed multi-dimensional experimental teaching content in three research hotspots: image recognition, machine learning and data analysis. The image recognition experiment starts with text recognition, and then realizes face and license plate recognition through various methods. The machine learning experiment is based on the machine learning algorithm of Python and is applied to corn disease identification. The data analysis experiment uses Python to process Excel data in computing workload and bioinformatics data analysis. Students can choose different experimental projects according to their professional needs and scientific research directions in the experiment, so as to achieve the training goal of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. The application of the experimental platform in teaching practice shows that students have a deeper understanding of the programming implementation of Python in image recognition, machine learning and data analysis, and enhance their interest in scientific research, thus achieving the goal of integrating scientific research into teaching and improving the quality of undergraduate teaching.
Egységesítés a földrajzi nevek használatában : Szemelvények a Földrajzinév-bizottság történetéből, 1990-es évek
Authors: Mikesy Gábor

Az 1990-es évek a hatáskörben és szervezeti önállóságban megnövekedett erejű Földrajzinév-bizottsággal (FNB) vették kezdetüket. A magyarországi hivatalos földrajzi nevekről szóló 71/1989. (VII. 4.) MT rendelet értelmében a bizottság tárcaközi kormánybizottsággá emelkedett, viszont mint ilyen, tevékenységének első lépései már a rendszerváltás környéki bonyodalmak idejére estek. Egyes névtípusokat illetően hatékonyabbá vált a működése (új községek, vasútállomások stb.), mások esetében a bizottság nem élhetett a kormányrendelet által biztosított hatáskörökkel.

Az európai környezetjog kihívásai, akkor (2004) és most (2024)

Az EU csatlakozási tárgyalások nagy kihívása volt a környezetvédelmi jogterület, ahol bizony jelentős elmaradásaink voltak. Az erőfeszítések nyomán azonban számottevő előrelépést tettünk, majdnem minden területen behoztuk a lemaradást. Ennek előzményeiről és útjáról is szólunk alább. Holott az európai környezetjog rendkívül komplex volt már 20 évvel ezelőtt is és azóta ez csak még teljesebbé vált. A szabályozás mennyisége és a számos értelmezési kérdés is fokozott figyelmet és feladatot jelent. Ez utóbbi téren az EUB értelmező szerepe nem egyszer jogfejlesztésbe torkollik. A megfelelés mindezeket együtt fogja át akkor és most. A jogi fogalmak összetettségére kiváló példa a hulladék fogalma. Az erősödő integrációra két horizontális példát hozunk: a környezeti károk megelőzésére és helyreállítására vonatkozó felelősségi irányelvet és az éppen ezen napokban alapos frissítésen átesett büntetőjogi felelősségi irányelvet. Mindkettő az elmúlt húsz évben teljesedett ki.
