Effect of Occupant Activity on Indoor Particle Concentrations in Korean Residential Buildings
Authors: Kim Hyungkeun , Kang Kyungmo , Kim Taeyeon
Published: November 2020

Due to the recent industrial development and COVID-19 pandemic, people are spending more time indoors. Therefore, indoor air quality is becoming more important for the health of occupants. Indoor fine particles are increased by outdoor air pollution and indoor occupant activities. In particular, smoking, cooking, cleaning, and ventilation are occupant activities that have the largest impact on indoor particle concentrations. In this study, indoor and outdoor particle concentrations were measured in ten apartment houses in South Korea for 24 h. Indoor particle concentrations were measured in the kitchen and living room to evaluate the impact of cooking, one of the most important sources of indoor particles. An occupant survey was also conducted to analyze the influence of occupant activities. It was found that the impact of outdoor particles on indoor particle concentrations in winter was not significant. The largest particle source was cooking. In particular, a large amount of particles was generated by broiling and frying. In addition, cooking-generated particles are rapidly dispersed to the living room, and this was more obvious for small particles. It is expected that this result will be statistically generalized if the particle concentration of more houses is analyzed in the future.

Published: November 2020

There is growing concern among health institutions worldwide to supply clean water to their populations, especially to more vulnerable communities. Although sewage treatment systems can remove most contaminants, they are not efficient at removing certain substances that can be detected in significant quantities even after standard treatments. Considering the necessity of perfecting techniques that can remove waterborne contaminants, constructed wetland systems have emerged as an effective bioremediation solution for degrading and removing contaminants. In spite of their environmentally friendly appearance and efficiency in treating residual waters, one of the limiting factors to structure efficient artificial wetlands is the choice of plant species that can both tolerate and remove contaminants. For sometimes, the chosen plants composing a system were not shown to increase wetland performance and became a problem since the biomass produced must have appropriated destination. We provide here an overview of the use and role of aquatic macrophytes in constructed wetland systems. The ability of plants to remove metals, pharmaceutical products, pesticides, cyanotoxins and nanoparticles in constructed wetlands were compared with the removal efficiency of non-planted systems, aiming to evaluate the capacity of plants to increase the removal efficiency of the systems. Moreover, this review also focuses on the management and destination of the biomass produced through natural processes of water filtration. The use of macrophytes in constructed wetlands represents a promising technology, mainly due to their efficiency of removal and the cost advantages of their implantation. However, the choice of plant species composing constructed wetlands should not be only based on the plant removal capacity since the introduction of invasive species can become an ecological problem.
Impact of UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League on Financial Sustainability—Case Study of Two Small Football Portuguese Teams
Authors: Dantas Florbela , Borges Ana , Silva Rui
Published: November 2020

Qualifying for European competitions allows football clubs to have access to the two most important football competitions played in Europe, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. Thereby, participation in these important competitions has both direct (participation prizes) and indirect (player transactions, television rights, box office, advertising, sponsorship) impacts on the sustainability of European football clubs’ accounts. The current competition model, which now includes more football teams, has become more attractive for small clubs. In this context, this research aims to analyze the impact of qualification for European competitions on the sustainability of a strong economic and financial structure of small clubs through a case study analysis of two small Portuguese clubs. The quantitative analysis is also supported by a comparative analysis, which was reinforced with nonparametric statistical analysis. The results show that the economic and financial impact on small clubs was not immediate, but was beneficial if it was managed efficiently. This research contributes to increasing knowledge of the decision-making agents of clubs that are participating for the first time in European competitions, or, if recurrent, are seeking answers and guidelines for the effective management of football teams.

Published: November 2020

The harmful effect of salinity stress on crops needs to be mitigated. Therefore, the application of microbial inoculum in combination with nanomaterials and methyl salicylate was investigated. Initially, different seeds were exposed to salinity levels treated with variable microbial treatments using different modes of applications. The microbial treatments included application of cyanobacterial strain Cyanothece sp. and the rhizobacterium Enterobacter cloacae, alone or in combination with one another, and a final treatment using combined microbial inoculum supplied with methyl salicylate. Later, different nanomaterials were used, namely, graphene, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes in combination with biofertilizers on the highest salinity level. The nanomaterial with microbial treatment and methyl salicylate were applied partly as a mixture in soil and partly as capsules. Results showed that salinity stress had a drastic inhibitory effect on growth parameters, especially at −5 MPa level. Nonetheless, the microbial treatments significantly alleviated the deleterious effect of salinity stress, especially when combined with methyl salicylate. When the nanomaterials were added to biofertilizers at highest salinity level, the inhibitory effect of salinity was mostly alleviated. Smart use of synergistic biofertilizers alongside the right nanomaterial, both encapsulated and in soil, would allow for mitigation and alleviation of inhibitory effect of salinity.

Published: November 2020

Understanding the timing and variability of rainfall is crucial for the effective management of water resources in river basins dominated by rainfed agricultural practices. Our study aimed to characterize rainfall and analyze the trends in the length of wet spells (LWS) in the Upper Awash River Basin—one of the most water-stressed river basins in Ethiopia. We applied statistical descriptors and a Mann–Kendall (MK) test to determine the onset, end, and LWS for the small (Belg) and main (Kiremt) rainy seasons across different landscapes of the basin. We observed highly stable rainfall onsets in all stations during both seasons. However, unlike the Kiremt season, the LWS in the Belg season was too short and unreliable for rainfed agriculture. Based on the MK test, an increasing monotonic trend in LWS during the Kiremt season was detected only in the mountainous landscape of the basin. In contrast, we observed no trends in the remaining stations in the Upper Valley region of the basin, despite the linear regressions inferring an upward or downward pattern. Our findings provide accurate climatological information for the effective development of rainwater management strategies in the Upper Awash River Basin.
Identifying Value-Increasing Actions for Cultural Heritage Assets through Sensitivity Analysis of Multicriteria Evaluation Results
Authors: Salerno Emanuele
Published: November 2020

This paper presents a brief overview of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) as applied to the evaluation of adaptive reuse projects for cultural heritage assets and proposes a strategy to plan interventions to increase their value. The value of an object can be defined from its fitness to fulfil specified objectives, its significance to the people who own or use it, its potential to produce revenues, and a host of other criteria depending on its nature. These criteria are often subjective, relying on judgements issued by several experts, stakeholders and decision makers. This is why the MCDM methods need to formalize the problem so as to make it suitable to be treated quantitatively. Moreover, its sensitivity to variable opinions must be studied to check the stability of the result. We propose to leverage sensitivity analysis to identify the lines of intervention that promise to be the most effective to increase the value of the asset. A simulated example illustrates this strategy. This approach promises to be useful when assessing the sustainability of a reuse or redevelopment project in the cases where the final destination of the asset is still under examination.

Authors: Helbich Steffen , Dobslaw Daniel , Schulz Andreas , Engesser Karl-Heinrich
Published: November 2020

A combined system of a biotrickling filter and a non-thermal plasma (NTP) in a downstream airflow was operated for 1220 days for treatment of emissions of styrene and secondary emissions of germs formed in the biological process. The biotrickling filter was operated at variable inlet concentrations, empty bed residence times (EBRT), type and dosage of fertilizers, irrigation densities, and starvation periods, while dielectric barrier discharge and corona discharge were operated at different specific input energy levels to achieve optimal conditions. Under these conditions, efficiencies in the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), germs and styrene of 96–98%, 1–4 log units and 24.7–50.1 g C m−3 h−1 were achieved, respectively. Fluid simulations of the NTP and a germ emission-based clocking of the discharge reveal further energy saving potentials of more than 90%. The aim of an energy-efficient elimination of VOCs through a biotrickling filter and of secondary germ emissions by a NTP stage in a downstream airflow for potential re-use of purified waste gas as process gas for industrial application was successfully accomplished.

Published: November 2020

The design of enotourist routes represents an opportunity for the sustainable development of rural territories. This qualitative study was structured in three parts to reach a cohesion model representing the academic literature, visitors, and winemakers. This research focused on the region of La Axarquía in Málaga (Spain) because of its wine and tourist tradition. In relation to the methodology, this study used content analysis techniques for the analysis of both the relevant literature and the questionnaires completed by all the winemakers of the territory, 60 tourists who visited the wineries, and the 10 most representative agents linked to the tourist development of this region. The findings provided a model with the elements to be taken into account in the creation of a wine route or itinerary in any destination of the world. The application of this model will contribute to the creation of new tourist policies that can move towards efficient progress of the region.
Adopting Agile Project Management Practices in Non-Software SMEs: A Case Study of a Slovenian Medium-Sized Manufacturing Company
Authors: Žužek Tena , Gosar Žiga , Kušar Janez , Berlec Tomaž
Published: November 2020

In today’s highly dynamic and unpredictable project environment, companies need to be able to manage changes quickly and effectively, otherwise, the final product will not be current and will only go to waste. Traditional project management approaches that focus on planning are no longer efficient and companies are forced to adopt new ways of working. As a result, more flexible agile project management (APM) approaches have emerged over the last decades. Originally developed for the software industry, APM is now increasingly recognized and adopted also by other industry sectors. However, due to some discipline-specific differences, the adoption of APM by non-software companies is challenging and requires many adjustments and high financial input. While the larger organizations have sufficient resources to make such a transition, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) generally cannot afford to do so, and therefore need alternative strategies to increase their agility and stay competitive on the global market. In this paper, we present a case study of a Slovenian medium-sized manufacturing company that implemented only certain APM practices separately and not as part of a structured APM methodology, and still managed to achieve significant benefits: improved communication, faster detection of discrepancies, more effective problem-solving and greater flexibility. The results also suggest that APM practices, even when implemented separately, positively impact project success in terms of both efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction, and can thus help in establishing an economically, socially, and environmentally more sustainable workplace.
Exploring Adversarial Attacks and Defences for Fake Twitter Account Detection
Authors: Kantartopoulos Panagiotis , Pitropakis Nikolaos , Mylonas Alexios , Kylilis Nicolas
Published: November 2020

Social media has become very popular and important in people’s lives, as personal ideas, beliefs and opinions are expressed and shared through them. Unfortunately, social networks, and specifically Twitter, suffer from massive existence and perpetual creation of fake users. Their goal is to deceive other users employing various methods, or even create a stream of fake news and opinions in order to influence an idea upon a specific subject, thus impairing the platform’s integrity. As such, machine learning techniques have been widely used in social networks to address this type of threat by automatically identifying fake accounts. Nonetheless, threat actors update their arsenal and launch a range of sophisticated attacks to undermine this detection procedure, either during the training or test phase, rendering machine learning algorithms vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Our work examines the propagation of adversarial attacks in machine learning based detection for fake Twitter accounts, which is based on AdaBoost. Moreover, we propose and evaluate the use of k-NN as a countermeasure to remedy the effects of the adversarial attacks that we have implemented.
A Novel Anphevirus in Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes Is Distributed Worldwide and Interacts with the Host RNA Interference Pathway
Authors: Manni Mosè , Zdobnov Evgeny M.
Published: November 2020

The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is a competent vector for several human arboviruses including dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses. Mosquitoes also harbor insect-specific viruses (ISVs) that may modulate host physiology and potentially affect the transmission of viruses that are pathogenic to vertebrates, thus representing a potential tool for vector control strategies. In Ae. albopictus we identified a novel anphevirus (family Xinmoviridae; order Mononegavirales) provisionally designated here as Aedes albopictus anphevirus (AealbAV). AealbAV contains a ~12.4 kb genome that is highly divergent from currently known viruses but displays gene content and genomic organization typical of known anpheviruses. We identified AealbAV in several publicly available RNA-Seq datasets from different geographical regions both in laboratory colonies and field collected mosquitoes. Coding-complete genomes of AealbAV strains are highly similar worldwide (>96% nucleotide identity) and cluster according to the geographical origin of their hosts. AealbAV appears to be present in various body compartments and mosquito life stages, including eggs. We further detected AealbAV-derived vsiRNAs and vpiRNAs in publicly available miRNA-Seq libraries of Ae. albopictus and in samples experimentally coinfected with chikungunya virus. This suggests that AealbAV is targeted by the host RNA interference (RNAi) response, consistent with persistent virus replication. The discovery and characterization of AealbAV in Ae. albopictus will now allow us to identify its infection in mosquito populations and laboratory strains, and to assess its potential impact on Ae. albopictus physiology and ability to transmit arboviruses.

Dengan banyaknya variasi makanan yang ada sekarang, masyarakat perlu menyadari bahwa perilaku menjaga pola makan yang baik merupakan suatu investasi penting untuk tubuh sehat. Pilihan untuk mengkonsumsi makanan alternatif adalah salah satu cara orang dapat makan apa yang diinginkan selagi menjaga jumlah kalori yang dikonsumsi. Akan tetapi, memilih makanan alternatif tersebut bukan merupakan hal mudah. Makanan pengganti harus sesuai dengan jumlah kalori yang dibutuhkan tubuh dan memiliki rasa makanan yang diminati. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis mengajukan rancang bangun sistem rekomendasi berbasis konten dengan hierarchical clustering yang dapat memberikan rekomendasi makanan alternatif berkalori lebih rendah dengan rasa serupa berdasarkan bahan makanan untuk membantu orang dalam menjaga konsumsi kalori mereka. Data makanan diambil dari basis data FatSecret karena mengandung banyak variasi makanan dan informasi jelas akan bahan dan kalori makanan. Sistem rekomendasi tersebut akan fokus pada data kalori dan bahan makanan serta data makanan pilihan pengguna. Dengan menggunakan machine learning library scikit-learn Python, data makanan yang ada akan dikelompokkan dengan hierarchical clustering untuk pembentukan kelompok makanan serupa lalu dilakukan filtering sehingga mendapatkan urutan rekomendasi yang sesuai. Hasil pengujian sistem rekomendasi melalui eksperimen terhadap 10 makanan yang telah dituliskan melalui survei dan dinilai oleh 32 responden menunjukkan bahwa sistem rekomendasi ini berhasil berdasarkan indeks penilaian keseluruhan rekomendasi sebesar 71,3% yang mengindikasi hasil memuaskan oleh responden. Akan tetapi, akurasi masih perlu ditingkatkan karena urutan rekomendasi yang kurang sesuai kepuasan pengguna dengan saran penambahan faktor bentuk, kategori, dan bahan utama makanan.

Despite the importance of this insect, it has not received adequate study. This study was conducted under laboratory conditions with 28±1.2 and 20-25% room temperature and relative humidity respectively, to determine melon biology of melon worm on six species of cucurbits namely; snake cucumber, squash, pumpkin, sweet melon, watermelon, and tibish. The study revealed that the average duration of the developmental stages i.e. egg, larva, and pupa were 2.5±0.25, 11.4±0.13, and 7±0.15 days, respectively. The fecundity and fertility were 90.4±7.60 eggs and %73.6±3.63, respectively. The life cycle (from egg-laying to adult emergence) was completed in 20-23 days with a mean of 21.37±0.22 days when the larvae were fed on leaves of snake cucumber. The sex ratio was 1:0.8 male to female. The type of food had significant effects on larval, pupal period, and life cycle. A clear impact on the duration of the life cycle was found when larvae were fed on leaves of snake cucumber, squash, pumpkin, sweet melon, watermelon, and tibish compared when fed on fruits of the same cucurbits above. It was found that snake cucumber and sweet melon were the most preferred by females for egg laying compared to the other cucurbits in laboratory studies.

ПРОПОВЕДИ ЛЮТЕРА КАК СПОСОБ ТРАНСЛЯЦИИ ЕГО ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЙ ПРОГРАММЫ
Authors: Полякова Мария
Published: November 2020

The article considers some aspects of the genesis of preaching as a special genre of oral creativity in the Christian tradition and its importance in the Protestant propaganda of the confessional period. According to the author, preaching was of paramount importance to Luther starting with the first steps of his revision of the Christian creed. The reformer used the sermon not only as an instruction in the faith, but also as a kind of translator of his educational program – because only through the training of the population could he, from his point of view, convey the faithful the “divine message” and the idea of salvation.
ИНДЕЙЦЫ И ЧЕРНЫЕ РАБЫ В ПРОПОВЕДЯХ ПОРТУГАЛЬСКОГО МИССИОНЕРА АНТОНИУ ВИЭЙРЫ (1608-1697)
Authors: Коконова Виктория
Published: November 2020

The themes raised in the sermons of the Portuguese Jesuit Antonio Vieira were far ahead of their time. Already in the XVII century, the missionary questions the equality of Europeans, Africans and Indians before God, as well as the injustice of one race oppressing another. In his sermons, he asks his listeners to repent and reject slavery. He wants every colonist to become an apostle in his new homeland: to sow the faith of Christ and take care of the religious and moral education of his slaves. Uncovering the conflicts between the three ethnic groups, Vieira seeks to smooth out these contradictions, pointing out the ways of peaceful coexistence of the three cultures within the bosom of the same faith.
«ГОСПОДСТВЕННАЯ ВЛАСТЬ» VS ДУШЕПОПЕЧЕНИЕ: ПРАКТИКА ИСПОВЕДИ В РУССКОЙ ДУХОВНОЙ ТРАДИЦИИ СИНОДАЛЬНОГО ПЕРИОДА
Authors: Черный Алексей
Published: November 2020

The article attempts to reconstruct various pastoral models that appeared in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church over several centuries. The author identifies several "images" of confession, which are very different, among them: the realization of "despotical" power in a "confessional" family of the sixteenth century, the fulfillment of conscription, deeply personal interaction based on mutual trust and the value of a hierarchical aspect, counseling under the guidance of a "parish elder". The state, depending on the circumstances, either embeds the pastor in itself as a necessary part of its own mechanism, or considers the priesthood as a foreign element, or completely distances itself from religious affairs. The author suggests that the “types” of confession presented in the article can be compared with the forms of pastoral self-consciousness to be found in the modern life of the church. This in turn suggests that in the Russian Church today is characterized by the search for pastoral identity, in which the priesthood plays a key role.
ФИЛОСОФСКО-ИСПОВЕДАЛЬНЫЙ ДИСКУРС ПОВЕСТИ И.С. ТУРГЕНЕВА ДОВОЛЬНО
Authors: Володина Наталья
Published: November 2020

The artistic dominant of the essay by I.S. Turgenev is to be found in the confessional nature of the author's lyrical and philosophical thoughts. The artist removes the keyword “note” from the title of the work and, instead, repeats it in the text. The work expresses the tragic worldview of the hero, who keenly felt the powerlessness of humanity and the values it created in relation to the vastness of the universe and the power of nature. The obvious subjectivity of the essay, however, does not allow us to identify the writer and the narrator, because Turgenev manages to maintain the position of “out–of–place” (M. Bakhtin) in relation to his hero.

Some Remarks on the Eurocentricism and Imperialism in the Construction of International Law
Authors: AMARASINGHE Punsara
Published: November 2020

The modern international law is considered an offshoot of European intellectual contributions as its basic foundation is deeply imbued with the political and social upheavals took place in European history. As an example, the Westphalian order emerged in the culmination of thirty years war in 1648 was regarded as the most pivotal mile stone in modern history of international law. Yet the European domination and its intellectual contribution to the development of international law systematically excluded non-European nations from international law and its protection, which finally paved the path to use international law in the 19th century as a tool of legitimizing the colonial expansion. This paper
seeks to trace the historiography of modern international law and its dubious nature of disdaining non-Europeans and their civilizational thinking. Furthermore, this paper argues how European historical encounters carved the map of international law from a vantage point, which gave an utter prominence upon the European intellectual monopoly. The results emerge from this paper will strongly suggest the need of an alternative scholarship to unveil the history of international law.

LEXEME КРАСОТА (BEAUTY) IN F.M. DOSTOYEVSKY’S NOVEL «IDIOT»
Authors: Manukyan G.V.
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this work is related to the statement of F.M. Dostoevsky that the salvation of the world is possible only through love for the human soul and, as a consequence of this love, through inner beauty. Based on this, the purpose of the article is to analyze the various meanings of the word beauty in lexicographic sources and in the novel “Idiot” by F.M. Dostoevsky. Vocabulary and textual representations of the lexeme красота ( beauty) are correlated. The author concludes that the polysemantic word beauty is not used in the text of the novel at the nomination of objects, at the description of nature, as well as at the expression of admiration. The analysis of the lexeme красота (beauty) outlined the moral nature of the word, thereby confirming the issues outlined above.
MEANS OF EMOTIVITY EXPRESSION IN THE TUVAN LANGUAGE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF DIMINUTIVES)
Authors: Tsybenova Ch.S.
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the specifics of the emotional aspect in language. The author considers diminutives of the Tuvan language as linguistic means having emotional expression. The research material shows that diminutives, except their main meaning, can transmit different emotional and expressive significations. The primary way of diminutive word formation in the Tuvan language is an affixation. Diminutives formed with the help of dimensional adjectives and their combinations also have an emotional meaning. It is noted that in semantics of diminutives the positive emotional signification is the most clearly manifested together with affixes of belonging and is closely related to semantics of the derived stem. It is revealed that the negative emotional connotation primarily depends on communicative situation, on general meaning of the statement. Therefore, formation of diminutives’ emotional meaning in the Tuvan language is influenced by conditions of internal and external context.
LANGUAGE IDEOLOGY OF SPANISH POLITICAL PARTY “VOX”
Authors: Tereshchuk A.A.
Published: November 2020

The article analyzes the language ideology of Spanish far-right political party “Vox”. The documents containing the party program have been studied, and interviews and newspaper articles issued by 52 representatives of “Vox” in the Congress of Deputies and 3 representatives in the European Parliament in the period from December 2018 to November 2019 have been analyzed. The article concludes that “Vox” bases its language ideology on the supposition that the Spanish language in multilingual autonomous communities is endangered by the development of minority languages. According to “Vox”, Spanish should be the first language in administration and education on the whole territory of the country. Minority languages may remain in the educational system of the respective regions as optional subjects. The members of “Vox” dedicate a special attention to the question of integrity of the Catalan language. The party considers Valencian and Balearic as independent languages and not as varieties of Catalan. The party supports movements aimed at the linguistic separatism of Valencia and the Balearic Islands from Catalonia.

The article shows the history of the methodological training of mathematics teachers in Russia in the second half of the nineteenth century and during the twentieth century. It is based on the analysis of didactic and methodological sources of different years; an internal periodization of methodological ideas dynamics and preparing math teachers for teaching this subject is proposed. The problems of training math teachers are illustrated with examples of specific schools. The article gives names of scientists, teachers, methodologists, mathematicians who have had a significant impact on the content of mathematical education at school. The authors were able to detect and convincingly show the cyclical nature of the process both in the second half of the nineteenth century, and in Soviet times. The article reflects the mission of Russian universities, teacher-training institutes in training math teachers for the domestic high school of the period under review.
Optimization of barrier height in InGaN quantum wells for rapid interwell carrier transport and low nonradiative recombination

Rapid interwell carrier transport is a key process for a uniform carrier distribution and reduced Auger recombination in multiple quantum well (MQW) light emitting devices. In this work, the interwell transport has been studied by time-resolved photoluminescence in In0.12Ga0.88N MQWs with In
x
Ga1−x
N (x = 0 ÷ 0.06) and Al0.065Ga0.935N barriers. Only for the InGaN barriers the transport is efficient. However, introduction of In into the barriers is accompanied by an increase of the nonradiative recombination at QW interfaces. Still, even with the increased Shockley–Read–Hall recombination, structures with InGaN barriers might be advantageous for high power devices because of the reduced Auger recombination.
Biztonsági kihívások hálójában, avagy az Izraeli Védelmi Erők esete az aszimmetrikus hadviseléssel

Az elmúlt évtizedekben az aszimmetrikus kihívások és fenyegetettségek feltérképezése, prognosztizálása és a lehetséges válaszok kialakítása határozta meg a hadtudományt. Bár az aszimmetrikus hadviselés nem új jelenség, a modern kor haderői számára mégis problémát okoz, hogy az ilyen jellegű kihívásokat megfelelő módon kezeljék. Ez egyrészt a kihívások sokféléségéből, másrészt dinamikus, gyors változásukból ere-deztethető. Az aszimmetrikus hadviselés által elveszik a rend, amely korábban formába öntötte a hadviselést. Az Izraeli Védelmi Erők (IDF1) a világ egyik legjobban felszerelt és kiképzett hadereje, amely 2006-ban a második libanoni háborúban első kézből tapasztalta meg az aszimmetrikus hadviselés hatását egy olyan szervezetre, amely nem elég rugalmas vagy innovatív. A felismerés alapvetően rázta meg az izraeli védelmi politikát, hiszen a legyőzhetetlenség látszata mellett megingott az a tudat, hogy egy adaptív, mindenre felkészült, gyorsan akklimatizálódó haderő látja el az ország védelmét. A szerző tanulmányában az elméleti keretek áttekintését követően felvázolja a 2006-os libanoni offenzíva tanulságait és az IDF-re gyakorolt hatásait, valamint az ezekből faka-dó szemléletváltást. Az izraeli biztonsági helyzet jellemzői alapján a kérdés, amelyre választ keres, hogy „ma” vajon a hagyományos vagy az aszimmetrikus hadviselésre történő felkészülésnek kell prioritást élveznie annak érdekében, hogy az IDF megfelelően felkészül-jön a „holnap” konfliktusaira.
A vallásközi párbeszéd jelentősége a libanoni válságkezelésben

Az elmúlt évtizedek fegyveres konfliktusai gyakran olyan területen zajlottak, ahol az interkulturális és a vallási különbségek nagy jelentőséggel bírtak. Kiemelke-dően igaz ez a közel-keleti országokra, ahol a keresztények vallásuk miatt állami disz kriminációval, sok esetben nyílt üldöztetéssel találták szemben magukat. Bár Libanon az egyetlen állam a Közel-Keleten, amelynek tartósan keresztény vezetője van, a keresztények százalékos aránya a térségben – főként a muszlimok termékenységi rátája miatt – az elmúlt évszázad alatt csaknem a felére csökkent. Mivel az ország etnikai, vallási és felekezeti szempontból meglehetősen heterogén, a békés együttélés – főként az 1941-ben kikiáltott szuverenitás óta – az államot kihívás elé állította. Bár a térségbeli véres polgárháború (1975–1990) 30 éve lezárult, a tartós béke időszaka nem azonnal köszöntött be. Mind a polgárháború lezárásának előmozdításában, mind az azt követő megbékélésben elvitathatatlan érdemei vannak az elmúlt évtizedek pápáinak és az Apostoli Szentszék mérsékelt és kiegyensúlyozott diplomáciai törekvéseinek.
A pályakezdő katonák megszólításának és megtartásának lehetősége a szervezeti szocializáció eszközével

A biztonságpolitikai környezet folyamatos változásával a fegyveres erők szerepe is átalakul. A technológiai vívmányok új lehetőségeket teremtenek és folyamatosan változtatják a háborúról alkotott vélekedésünket. A megújuló eszközkészlet mellett azonban figyelemmel kell kísérni a társadalmi változások főbb tendenciáit és ezek biztonsági környezetünkre gyakorolt hatását is. A globalizáció eredményeképpen a felnövekvő generációk gondolkodásmódja és értékrendje más alapokra helyeződik. A szocializáció során végbemegy a személyiség változása az egyént körülvevő ingerek hatására. A folyamat kétirányú, vagyis a személyiség változása mellett az egyén is aktívan alakítja környezetét. Ennek fényében a szocializáció eszközként is értelmezhető. A fegyveres erők esetében a szervezeti szocializáció lehet a szervezetek hatékonyságának növeléséhez használt egyik kulcstényező. Több országban a fegyveres erők elöregedő, lassan változó, rugalmatlan szervezetet takarnak. A folyamatosan változó biztonsági környezet azonban nem teszi lehetővé a hosszú „válaszidőket”, a lassú, bürokratikus szervezeti utak betartását. A szervezet ütőképessé tételére a fiatal, jó adottságokkal rendelkező katonák jelenthetnek megoldást. A pályakezdő generációval azonban újabb igények és értékek jelennek meg a munkaerőpiacon, amelyek sok esetben a fegyveres erők megszokott értékeitől távolinak hatnak. A látszólag hiányzó közös metszet kialakítására használható a tudatosan felépített szervezeti szocializációs folyamat. Jelen tanulmány szerzője a szocializáció eszközként való tudatos használatának első lépéseként munka- és szervezeti szocializációs elméleteket mutat be, majd ismerteti azokat a lehetőségeket, amelyek segítségével a jövőben lehetségessé válik egy adott célcsoportra illeszthető szocializációs stratégia kialakítása.
FoBSim: An extensible open-source simulation tool for integrated Fog-Blockchain systems

A lot of hard work and years of research are still needed for developing successful Blockchain (BC) applications. Although it is not yet standardized, BC technology was proven as to be an enhancement factor for security, decentralization, and reliability, leading to be successfully implemented in cryptocurrency industries. Fog computing (FC) is one of the recently emerged paradigms that needs to be improved to serve Internet of Things (IoT) environments of the future. As hundreds of projects, ideas, and systems were proposed, one can find a great R\&D potential for integrating BC and FC technologies. Examples of organizations contributing to the R\&D of these two technologies, and their integration, include Linux, IBM, Google, Microsoft, and others. To validate an integrated Fog-Blockchain protocol or method implementation, before the deployment phase, a suitable and accurate simulation environment is needed. Such validation should save a great deal of costs and efforts on researchers and companies adopting this integration. Current available simulation environments facilitate Fog simulation, or BC simulation, but not both. In this paper, we introduce a Fog-Blockchain simulator, namely FoBSim, with the main goal is to ease the experimentation and validation of integrated Fog-Blockchain approaches. According to our proposed workflow of simulation, we implement different Consensus Algorithms (CA), different deployment options of the BC in the FC architecture, and different functionalities of the BC in the simulation. Furthermore, technical details and algorithms on the simulated integration are provided. We validate FoBSim by describing the technologies used within FoBSim, highlighting FoBSim novelty compared to the state-of-the-art, discussing the event validity in FoBSim, and providing a clear walk-through validation. Finally, we simulate two case studies, then present and analyze the obtained results.
