Authors: Kruczek Zygmunt , Borkowski Krzysztof , Mazanek Leszek
Published: June 2022

Małopolska is the leading region in Poland not only in terms of the volume of tour-ist traffic but also with respect to tourism resources and their use. Research on tourist traffic in Małopolska conducted by the Regional Tourism Organisation since 2003 provides data used for monitoring changes regarding the volume of tourism traffic, its structure, the main regions of ori-gin for inbound tourism, major destinations and the use of accommodation facilities and means of transport. To support strategic and promotional activities, it is important to assess tourists’ sense of security and satisfaction with their visits to the region. The goal of the study described in the article was to compare available data from the period before and during the pandemic in order to assess its impact on tourism in the region. The article describes changes in the volume and structure of tourist traffic, the length of average stay, tourist destinations, tourist expenditures and revenue from tourism. While visitor numbers and tourism revenues declined during the pan-demic, assessments of the sense of security (among foreign tourists) and the level of satisfaction were found to be higher than before the pandemic.

Published: June 2022

Gastro-intestinal parasites affect the health and production performance of dairy cows under tropical and sub-tropical conditions. This study was conducted to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of herbal anthelmintic (Neem and Garlic combination) as an effective alternative for chemical dewormers which has chemical toxicity and resistance problems in dairy cows. For this, EPG count for gastrointestinal parasites, body weight and BCS of cows were studied. Freshly calved crossbred KF (n=28) cows were selected and divided into 4 groups (T1, T2, T3, T4), each having 7 cows. The cows of T1 were used as control; in T2, cows were provided the commercial (synthetic) dewormer; in T3 cows were provided with a dose of combination of garlic and neem in the ratio of 1:5 @ 4g/kg body wt. at 7 days after parturition and in T4, in addition to first dose at 7 days, a second dose was also supplemented at day 60. Sampling for fecal sample was done on 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 fortnights relative to the deworming treatment. The EPG counting was done by using McMaster counting chamber. The average fecal egg count (FCE) reduction was significantly (P<0.05) maximum in T2 (83.20%) group followed by T4 (77.48%). The BCS and FCE were found significantly (P<0.05) better in all the anthelmintic treated groups compared to control group. However, the FCE was significantly (P<0.05) better in herbal treated groups (T3 and T4) compared to the synthetic anthelmintic treated group (T2). Based on the findings, it could be concluded that Garlic and Neem combination is effective herbal dewormer/anthelmintic and might be used against nematodes in dairy cattle as an effective alternative of synthetic anthelmintics drugs.Â

Authors: Jeon Jeong Ok , Huang Evelyn , Djani Nin
Published: June 2022

There is an urgency to improve arts and culture education in public schools in Indonesia. Currently, the sector faces various challenges, such as insufficient course hours, limited topics, as well as inadequate number and expertise of teachers. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the situation has become even more precarious. To solve these problems, ARCOLABS organized an alternative arts and culture education program for local public-school students in 2020 as part of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) for Arts and Culture Education. Entitled ‘Made in Cirebon’, this pilot project served as preliminary research to look for the most appropriate models to encourage innovations and sustainability in arts and culture education in local public schools in Cirebon through cooperation with local artists. This project-based study utilized several research methodologies, including seminars and discussions to develop learning contents, implementation of an online/on-site learning model, a mini showcase of learning outcomes by students, along with participant interviews, surveys, and evaluation by all stakeholders to prepare for a successive project in 2021. Through the inclusive, innovative and productive outcomes of the project, this research has drawn several positive conclusions: (1) various genres and disciplines can be integrated into an interdisciplinary subject that could overcome the limited course hours and topics within the school curriculum; (2) local artists can be important artistic and educational assets that could fill the gaps in formal education; and (3) a creative approach to local issues is a significant catalyst for the sustainability of the implemented model.
Cymbals playing in a Roman mosaic from Mariamin in Syria
Authors: Cottet Audrey
Published: June 2022

The mosaic of the six female musicians from Mariamin in Syria depicts in exquisite detail a late antique musical performance. The present study focuses on the cymbal tongs player and the finger cymbals player from this mosaic, who have raised little interest so far, yet provide much information on cymbal playing in the Roman-Imperial period. The first part of this work studies the technical aspects of cymbal playing revealed by the Mariamin mosaic. It discusses the typology and playing techniques of cymbal tongs, using a comparative iconographic approach and an experimental reconstruction approach. The Mariamin mosaic portrays a type of cymbal tongs in which the cymbals are struck laterally, in contrast to cymbals tongs in which cymbals are struck frontally, the only type discussed by archaeomusicologists to date. Significantly, lateral cymbal tongs similar to those of Mariamin appear in other late antique mosaics from Bulgaria and Algeria, suggesting that this instrument was widespread. The reconstruction of lateral and frontal cymbal tongs shows that the two instruments sounded different. The Mariamin mosaic also provides information on the use of small cymbals attached directly to fingers. It shows a finger cymbal tying system that seems to differ from the few other Roman examples known to date. It also shows that finger cymbals players could use two different pairs of cymbals to make two different musical notes, one with each hand. These findings illustrate the technical richness of cymbal playing in the Roman Empire. The second part of this work discusses the instrumental associations visible in the Mariamin mosaic, placing them in the context of other late antique representations. The trio of three resonant metallic instruments discernible in the Mariamin band (cymbal tongs, finger cymbals and acetabuli) illustrates the Roman-Imperial taste for abundant metallic tinkling. Finally, the inclusion of cymbal tongs or finger cymbals in musical bands recurs in mythological representations. The cupid disguises of the two children in the Mariamin mosaic echo these images. However, the scene depicted by the mosaic seems anchored in the reality of the late Roman Empire. Remarkably, the Mariamin mosaic shows that ‘simple’ small cymbals could hold an important place in a high-class musical band equipped with prestigious instruments.

Is Demand for Technologies Determined by Production Costs? The Case of Insurance Companies
Authors: Klapkiv Lyubov , Kędra Arleta
Published: June 2022

The article is a part of a global discussion about the influence of technologies on the insurance industry. For a long time, the insurance industry was known as a restrictive market with high barriers to innovations. The rapid development of Industry 4.0 puts insurers under pressure to implement new information and communication technologies into business processes to be competitive and to satisfy customers’ expectations. Due to this, one of the main reasons for the demand for technologies is the reduction in the cost of the insurance production process. This study intends to answer the question about how production costs determine the demand for technologies among insurers. To answer this question, the research presents a case analysis of three major European insurance groups in the period 2008-2018. The analysis of the main production cost indicators (acquisition, claims handling and wages) and expenditures on information technologies in the insurance companies make the paper original. The research shows that there are no clear relations between the raising of direct insurance production costs and the demand for information technologies among insurers. This research contributes to the study of the development of information technologies in the insurance industry. Technologies still do not play a key role in the efficiency growth of insurance companies. It is mostly a sporadic factor.
Asymmetric Effect of Military Expenditures on Economic Growth in Pakistan: A Nonlinear-ARDL Approach
Authors: Lanrui Li , Ur Rahman Zia , Iqbal Khattak Shoukat , Maruf Hassan Mohammad
Published: June 2022

The nexus between military expenditure and economic growth has been analyzed using different methods and techniques in the economic growth literature, but most previous findings are indecisive, i.e., non-significant, positive, or negative. The primary purpose of this article was to explain the military expenditure-economic growth nexus in Pakistan by capturing the asymmetrical effects of military expenditures on economic growth using the non-linear autoregressive distribution lag-NARDL technique. Data were analyzed from 1972-2018. The results indicated that a decrease in military spending (adverse shocks) enhanced economic growth in the long term. An increase in military spending (positive shocks) had an insignificant effect on economic growth in Pakistan, suggesting that a focus on cost reduction in military expenditure may benefit economic growth. More so, the Wald test validated the asymmetries both in the long- and short term. Capital formation and labor force, as a control variable, positively affected economic growth in the long run. Based on these findings, the paper offers some critical suggestions for policymakers.
Vaccine-related discussions in online communities for parents. A quantitative overview, 2012–2019
Authors: Bachl Marko , Link Elena
Published: June 2022

Vaccinations are a medical success story. However, many individuals still experience doubts, which challenge vaccine compliance. Online communities for parents are important sources for the discussion about vaccination with similar others. They serve as social support platforms, where parents exchange informational, emotional, and esteem support. Our study provides a structured overview of vaccine-related online discussions of parents. The content of the four most popular German online communities for parents (2012-2019) was obtained with web scraping. Structural topic models were used to characterize the exchanges about vaccination in 98,505 discussion posts. We identified 27 aspects of the vaccination discussions, which were sorted into four general perspectives. The general vaccination debate perspective (6 aspects, 24% of all content) covered societal and public health debates. The specific vaccinations perspective (8 aspects, 16%) addressed vaccinations against specific diseases. Parents discussed various vaccine-related practical issues (7 aspects, 20%). The relationship and communication perspective (6 aspects, 19%) collected aspects concerned with community building. The findings highlighted the diversity of vaccine-related online discussions related to all types of social support. Investigating online exchanges can inform public health communicators as well as health professionals which parental support needs should be addressed more comprehensively.

Mulheres, mães, educadoras: notas sobre (im)possibilidades na transmissão do cuidado
Authors: Arrosi Kellen Evaldt , Ferrari Andrea Gabriela , Silva Milena da Rosa
Published: June 2022

Este artigo parte de uma experiência de acompanhamento em Escolas de Educação Infantil. Para além do olhar direcionado aos bebês no contexto da pesquisa, voltou-se a atenção também para as educadoras. Propõe-se, neste escrito, trazer à tona questões perpassadas por aspectos sócio-histórico-culturais que parecem refletir no fazer cotidiano dessas mulheres e nas suas possibilidades de transmissão do cuidado às crianças. Para a composição do trabalho, foram utilizadas vinhetas retiradas dos diários clínicos de duas pesquisadoras que acompanharam semanalmente uma turma de berçário 1 durante 7 meses. Na análise dos dados, se fez presente uma dificuldade das educadoras em entregarem-se corporalmente aos cuidados dos bebês. A partir de trabalhos que apontam para um apagamento histórico da relevância das amas-de-leite e das babás na formação subjetiva da sociedade brasileira, propõe-se uma transposição dessa situação às profissionais da educação infantil, também encarregadas do cuidado primordial de crianças das quais não são mães. Tal apagamento funcionaria como um barramento realizado pelas famílias e pela cultura diante da possibilidade da construção de intimidade entre o bebê e a educadora e das trocas corporais entre a dupla. Além disso, são analisados efeitos de intervenções que promoveram um reconhecimento da função e da importância das profissionais. Dessa maneira, reflete-se sobre a função do reconhecimento como forma de cuidado, tanto no âmbito do trabalho na educação infantil quanto em um aspecto macro, levando em conta marcadores sociais, como aqueles de gênero e de raça.

Punchsticking is a common tablet compression manufacturing issue experienced duringlate-stage large-scale manufacturing. Prediction of punch sticking propensityand identification of the sticking component is important for early-stageformulation development. Application of novel predictive capabilities offers early-stagesticking propensity assessment. 16 API compounds were utilised to assess punchsticking prediction using removable punch tip tooling. API descriptors weretested for sticking correlation using multivariate analysis. NIR imaging, SEM-EDXand Raman microscopy were used to examine the material adhered to the punch tips.Predictive modelling using linear and non-linear equations proved inaccurate inpunch sticking mass prediction.  PCA analysisidentified sticking correlated physical descriptors and provided a dataset andmethod for further descriptor studies. Raman microscopy was identified as asuitable technique for chemical identification of punch sticking material, whichoffers insight towards a mechanistic understanding.
Clustering longitudinal data using R: A Monte Carlo Study
Authors: Verboon Peter , Pat-El Ron
Published: June 2022

The analysis of change within subjects over time is an ever more important research topic. Besides modelling the individual trajectories, a related aim is to identify clusters of subjects within these trajectories. Various methods for analyzing these longitudinal trajectories have been proposed. In this paper we investigate the performance of three different methods under various conditions in a Monte Carlo study. The first method is based on the non-parametric k-means algorithm. The second is a latent class mixture model, and the third a method based on the analysis of change indices. All methods are available in R. Results show that the k-means method performs consistently well in recovering the known clustering structure. The mixture model method performs reasonably well, but the change indices method has problems with smaller data sets.
Bootstrap confidence intervals for 11 robust correlations in the presence of outliers and leverage observations
Authors: Li Johnson Ching-Hong
Published: June 2022

Researchers often examine whether two continuous variables (X and Y) are linearly related. Pearson’s correlation (r) is a widely-employed statistic for assessing bivariate linearity. However, the accuracy of r is known to decrease when data contain outliers and/or leverage observations, a circumstance common in behavioral and social sciences research. This study compares 11 robust correlations with r and evaluates the associated bootstrap confidence intervals [bootstrap standard interval (BSI), bootstrap percentile interval (BPI), and bootstrap bias-corrected-and-accelerated interval (BCaI)] across conditions with and without outliers and/or leverage observations. The simulation results showed that the median-absolute-deviation correlation (r-MAD), median-based correlation (r-MED), and trimmed correlation (r-TRIM) consistently outperformed the other estimates, including r, when data contain outliers and/or leverage observations. This study provides an easy-to-use R code for computing robust correlations and their associated confidence intervals, offers recommendations for their reporting, and discusses implications of the findings for future research.

The Banality of (Automated) Evil: Critical Reflections on the Concept of Forbidden Knowledge in Machine Learning Research
Authors: Senent Julián Rosa Marina , Bueso Acevedo Diego
Published: June 2022

The development of computer science has raised ethical concerns regarding the potential negative impacts of machine learning tools on people and society. Some examples are pornographic deepfakes used as weapons of war against women; pattern recognition designed to uncover sexual orientation; and misuse of data and deep learning by private companies to influence democratic elections. We contend that these three examples are cases of automated evil. In this article, we defend that the concept of forbidden knowledge can help to inform a coherent ethical framework in the context of machine learning research. We conclude that restricting generalised access to extensive data and limiting access to ready-to-use codes would mitigate potential harms caused by machine learning tools. In addition, the notions of intersectionality and interdisciplinarity should be systematically introduced in data and computer science research.

Authors: Milková Eva , Kaliba Martin , Ambrozova Petra
Published: June 2022

The main purpose of the presented study is to explore the existing risk of Internet addiction for undergraduate students of Czech universities. The research was conducted as quantitative research; a CIAS-R questionnaire was applied. The data were collected in the years just before the Covid-19 pandemic (between October 2019 and March 2020). 3,366 respondents (2,151 females and 1,215 males) participated in our questionnaire survey. The average CIAS-R score achieved by our respondents was 44 points. It equals 6% of addicted college students (when applying the cut-off point of 63/64), and 3% of addicted students (when applying the cut-off point of 67/68). A significantly higher risk was revealed in males and in full-time students compared to females, and part-time students, respectively. The type of faculty studied was proved to be a significant intervening variable. Applying the 63/64 cut-off point, we revealed 5.6% of addicted students among the students of faculties of education, which is alarming (even if we consider the fact that applying the 67/68 cut-off point, we revealed 2.7% of addicted students.). These students represented almost 50% of our respondents, and they, as future teachers, will play an important role in the prevention of risky behavior.

Authors: GÖZE İsmihan , ALTUN Ahmet
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Herbal products are generally considered safe because of their natural origin with the belief that "herbs are harmless". Herbal medicines, teas, and mixtures can be purchased by consumers via the internet and telephone without the supervision of a doctor. The ease of direct sale of herbal products to consumers, potential toxicity, contamination, deception, and interactions with drugs and food pose a direct threat to public health.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of use of herbal medicines and the reasons for use in Sivas city center and its districts.

Method: The prepared questionnaires were approved by the Sivas Chamber of Pharmacists' board of directors and the questionnaires were administered to the patients under the supervision of a pharmacist. The results were evaluated with the chi-square test.

Findings: According to the research results; Herbal products are bought from herbalists, online, no one knows about their content, the dosage is not known, the side effects are not known, they are easily used with prescription drugs, and there is no information about eliminations. Worst of all, 70% of the society tends to use herbal products. Doctors do not know much about phytotherapy and therefore cannot recommend herbal products. In this case, the most ignorant and charlatans have a say. Pharmacists can't compete with herbalists who act recklessly in this regard. Herbal product licenses are unfortunately not given by the Ministry of Health.

Conclusion: In short, herbal products continue to pose a threat to public health as a "bomb with the pin pulled" unless precautions are taken.
D42. Un pódcast de dummies, para dummies, sobre personas y tecnología

Despacho 42 nace como idea en uno de estos momentos presenciales que tanto extrañamos desde que la pandemia nos obligó a teletrabajar, los desayunos. En aquellos momentos de relax entre una tarea y una reunión se nos ocurrieron varias apuestas contra nosotras mismas: ¿seremos capaces de hacer un pódcast que dure más de tres episodios?, ¿seremos capaces de hablar de tecnología sin que esta sea el centro y sin matar de aburrimiento a potenciales oyentes no «techie»?, ¿seremos capaces de tratar los temas emergentes en tecnología de manera que sea interesante para cualquiera?, ¿e incluyendo siempre la mirada de género? En otras palabras, el origen de Despacho 42 es un poco como aquel chiste: «Se encuentran una filósofa, un matemático y un informático y…».

En 2001 yo era un recién licenciado en Filosofía que vivía en Barcelona. Nada que ver con el mundo digital. Sí que me interesaba la creación, pero entonces solo me veía haciendo música. Si no me equivoco, ni tan siquiera tenía conexión a internet y tenía un ordenador monocromo que, como mucho, podía hacer de procesador de textos. Ese año tuve unos seis trabajos diferentes, el mejor de los cuales fue de guía en el bus turístico, así que podéis imaginar el resto. Esto podría parecer irrelevante por mi trayectoria posterior, pero más bien al contrario, porque esta situación tan precaria me llevó a hablar con un profesor mío, David Casacuberta, que en una de esas conversaciones que te cambian la vida me habló de un programa de máster en Nueva York, y me convenció de pedir la beca de laCaixa para ir. Un año y medio más tarde, estaba volando hacia Estados Unidos con la beca bajo el brazo para empezar un máster en comunicación interactiva en el Tisch School of the Arts de la Universidad de Nueva York.

The commission of an administrative offense on the Internet as a qualifying sign
Authors: Novgorodov Dmitrii
Published: June 2022

The subject of the study is the norms of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, which establish administrative responsibility for acts committed with the use, application or through information and communication networks, including the Internet, as well as materials of law enforcement practice. The object of the study is the public relations that are developing regarding the bringing to administrative responsibility of persons posting information on the Internet that is prohibited for distribution on the territory of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the presented article consists of methods used in scientific research, such as the method of system analysis, synthesis and the formal logical method. The main conclusion drawn from the results of the study is that, in accordance with the current legislation, it is possible to bring to administrative responsibility any person who posted on the Internet information prohibited for distribution on the territory of the Russian Federation, regardless of when and for what purpose it was committed, whether an unlimited number of people had access to the specified information. It is proposed to protect the rights and legitimate interests of Internet users when developing a new Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation to take into account the fact that the qualifying sign of an illegal act on the Internet should not just be the commission of an offense using communication networks, including the Internet, namely the fact of public dissemination in open access for an unlimited number of people.
Legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights on the right to a reasonable period of criminal proceedings and their application in Russian law
Authors: Bormotova Ladmila , Tarnavskii Oleg Aleksandrovich
Published: June 2022

The subject of the study within the framework of the designated topic is the judicial decisions of Russian and foreign law enforcement officers in order to determine the correctness of understanding the essential content of the provisions on the reasonableness of the duration of the criminal proceedings. The statistical data of appeals to the European Court of Human Rights in the period from 1959 to 2020 by Russian citizens is analyzed. The peak period was 2013, when two complaints about the length of the trial in a criminal case in Russia really found their confirmation. At the same time, Russian courts annually consider about 100 complaints about "procrastination" or "red tape". Such complaints and relevant decisions have become the subject of this article. The authors came to the conclusion that out of a significant number of applicants' complaints about the violation of international rules on the reasonableness of the terms of the criminal process, only a few were real. This, on the one hand, indicates the absence in Russian judicial practice of a clear understanding of the consistency of the provisions of article 6 of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. On the other hand, it allows us to draw a conclusion about the independent position of the Russian courts when considering criminal cases on the merits and the impossibility of imposing European standards for the application of Russian law. At the same time, the authors have identified the main elements of the realization of the right to a reasonable period of criminal proceedings based on the analysis of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights recognized by Russia, which can contribute to the optimization of Russian judicial practice and serve as a promise for improving legislative techniques in the field of criminal jurisdiction.

This research paper examines the issue of quality management practices (QMPs) as a supporting tool for managing and improving the performance and competitiveness of enterprises. The aim of the paper is to present the interconnection of the practical use of QMPs concerning the performance in the Slovak manufacturing enterprises. One of the main causal factors that may influence the different utilization of QMPs is the capital structure of the surveyed enterprises. The consequence factor is the achieved performance, parameterized in this research through Return on Sales. During the period 2020 to 2021, 364 manufacturing enterprises were interviewed through a questionnaire. In order to keep the population, the industrial structure stratified sampling method was applied and the sample representativeness was assessed by using the Chi-square goodness-of-fit test. Pearson’s chi-square test, interval estimates of proportions, and analysis of contingency were implemented to test the stated research hypotheses. The results of performed analyses revealed the existence of significant relations among capital structure, the scale of the use of QMPs and performance measured by Return on Sales. The survey results also point to differences in the practical use of quality management within the analysed industries. The difference factor is the size of the enterprise, the industry itself, and partly also the technology and performance of the industry given by the added value. At the same time, space for the implementation of selected approaches and concepts related to quality management in manufacturing enterprises that have the potential for more effective management has been identified to increase competitiveness.
