Interconnectedness and interdependence in today's world, due to information flows, unite all people into a single whole. Even in the distant past, when humans were few and the world was largely divided, the populations of particular regions and countries slowly but surely interacted, and at some point humanity separated from the rest of the biosphere and created its own environment. Now that human activity has taken on a planetary scale, the question of our interaction has become acute. Collective interaction, linked with all the information that has gone before, describes all processes of an economic, technological, cultural, social and biological nature. Collective interaction is based on the transmission and multiplication of generalized information. The collective experience of the interaction of all people is transmitted to the next generation and spreads out, synchronizing the development of humanity on our planet. When a population was cut off from the bulk of humanity for a long period of time, its development slowed down. Mankind has always evolved as a global system, where in a single information space an inherently common and effective interaction is realized. Powerful global information systems are emerging, such as the Internet, which materializes the collective consciousness of mankind. An international education system is taking shape.

Cloud technology creates fundamentally different opportunities for both communication and collaboration on a single product. Such a product in pedagogical activity can be a course of an academic discipline.Each course separately should contribute to the achievement of the dual purpose of higher education: 1) preparation for entry into the profession, 2) formation and development of the personality, its general, mental and moral development. In order to achieve this twofold goal, preparation for professional work must be conducted in such a way as to promote personal development. Moreover, it can be argued that in today's situation, when many university graduates do not work in their specialty and do not intend to do so, the task of general personal development comes to the fore.

The work of any Internet provider is practically impossible without technical support service. For the average subscriber, a "good" Internet service provider differs from a "bad" one in quality technical support and fast solution to arising problems. According to statistics 8 out of 10 customers periodically call technical support of their Internet-provider.There are many factors that negatively affect the work of the service, here are some of them: the lack of qualified specialists, quickly and qualitatively help customers; decrease of technical support service productivity, as arising problems require full analysis of a complex set of conditions, and an ordinary specialist is almost unable to analyze (in the allotted time) these conditions; a significant discrepancy between the decisions made by the best and worst workers. All this leads to a decrease in the quality and speed of the relevant service.

In recent years, computing systems used in management and production have begun to be used for more tasks. At the same time, the speed and performance of a single physical server in some cases is not enough. In such situations, so-called "cloud" servers are created, which are a single virtual server that combines the physical and logical resources of several physical servers. This allows you to create a single powerful virtual system to perform more tasks.Cloud servers is a promising and popular technology nowadays, which also has a number of significant advantages, but it is a more complex system, so in many points more vulnerable than traditional physical servers.

Reading Education for Primary School Students with Reading Difficulties: A Theoretical Study
Authors: ARICI Ali Fuat , UNGAN Suat
Published: August 2022

Reading, which can be described as seeing a written text and making sense of it in a unique way, has a certain process of its own, as in other language skills. This process, in which concepts and facts are important, is somewhat complicated, as mental, cognitive and affective skills seem to be effective in reading. In the reading process, there are some sub-skills such as word recognition, fluent reading, reading comprehension and decoding. Reading happens when each of these skills is put into practice and supports one another. Because the individual can get to know himself, life and people, and also discover the thoughts of others, and approach the environment and the world with different perspectives through reading, it has important contributions to the skills of "critical thinking, communication and creativity", which are accepted as skills of the 21st century. However, successful strategies and practices related to students with reading difficulties are rarely covered in the curriculum. It can be seen in the curriculum that whether to give support to such students is left to the initiative of the classroom teachers. Moreover, it is thought that the sooner the problems of students with reading difficulties are intervened, the more successful they will be. It has been emphasized that it is very important to take individual or small group teaching as a basis in the education of reading difficulties and to provide in-class support to students. In this training, it is considered very important to use the methods and techniques of repetitive reading, echo reading, paired reading and reader’s theater.
"A Comparative Study on Core Self-Evaluation, Personality & Coping Among College Students & Working Professionals"
Authors: Suresh Kavya
Published: August 2022

Academic labour can consume a person's entire day, and in modern professions, there is frequently little distinction between personal and professional time. A student is someone who is actively learning or developing abilities that they will utilize in their profession in the future. On the other hand, a worker is a part of the production process. Self-development in the form of understanding their fundamental attributes, personality and defence mechanisms is essential for one's growth and development. Individuals can objectively evaluate their strengths and areas they need to improve in if they have a solid understanding of their core-self evaluations, personality traits, and coping abilities. One is more likely to feel fulfilled in their personal lives by enabling themselves to investigate important areas of self-improvement which in turn could help them professionally. The aim of the current research is to study the effects of core self-evaluation, personality and coping in college students and working professionals. Standardized scales were used to measure the variables. A total of 40 college students falling in the age category 18-25 years and 40 working professionals belonging to the age group 20-40 years participated in the study. The results found out that core self-evaluation is positively correlated with extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and neuroticism while there is no correlation between coping and core self-evaluation and personality. No significant difference could be drawn between students and working professionals in core self-evaluation, personality and coping. Therefore, aiding individuals in gaining more knowledge about how CSE, personality, and coping shape a person can benefit the forthcoming generation to understand what aspects can help them develop successful career and personal growth plans.

Published: August 2022

At present, the world faces severe issues on energy crises and environmental deterioration. Fuel is inevitable for the industrial development and growth of any country. However, fossil fuel resources have always been terrifying. Biofuel energy, a renewable source, seems to be an ideal solution for global energy and environmental concern. Furthermore, the problem associated with homogeneous catalysts of non-reusability resulting in higher production costs prompted the search for heterogeneous catalysts. In this study, the synthesis of heterogeneous CaO catalysts from waste chicken eggshells is reported, ensuing in a process that is economically viable and environmentally friendly. The work focuses on an optimized protocol for the production of biodiesel from a feasible source, sesame oil (Sesamum Indicum L.) through base-catalyzed transesterification. The eggshell was calcined at 900 °C for 3 hours. Upon calcination, the eggshell was transformed to CaO from the initial CaCO3 structure, as can be observed from the FTIR spectrum that depicts a peak at 881 cm-1 corresponding to the Ca-O bond. The catalyst also has high basic sites of 2.933 mmol/g. When applied for the transesterification reaction, the optimal reaction conditions were found to be 1 wt. % catalyst amount (based on oil weight) and 15:1 methanol to oil molar ratio, with over 97.9% methyl esters conversion in 2 hours reaction period at a temperature of 60 oC.

Users of financial statements may have higher expectations due to audit reports, which are thought to be of no informational value. Including essential information in the audit report will decide how it can be used because the "expectations gap"—the difference between what users expect and what the auditing profession believes—has risen dramatically over time. This study aims to analyze the readiness to implement Audit Standard SA 701 Key Audit Matters (KAM) at Division X KAP ABC (an Indonesian audit firm) and the auditors' understanding of KAM, including potential doubts regarding the classification of KAMs with other reporting standards such as SA 706 Emphasis of Matter and SA 570 Going Concern. The method of collecting data was through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with external auditors in charge at Division X KAP ABC. The questionnaire statements are taken from previous research of Hegazy and Kamareldawla based on paragraphs SA 701, SA 706, and SA 570, which consist of 26 statements. The analysis results conclude that the auditors understand the explanation of SA 701. However, there is potential for doubt in classifying a matter as the Emphasis of a Matter and Going Concern. Concerning the implementation readiness of KAM SA 701 in 2022, Division X KAP ABC has communicated and interacted more with its clients and conducted training and sharing sessions.

The article presents the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium when applying different types and doses of farmyard manure and sewage sludge on leached chernozem for five crops (winter wheat, winter barley, grain corn, sunflower and grain peas). The calculation of nutrient element balance was performed based on the research carried out in the period 2011-2020 in the Laboratory of Soil Agrochemistry and Plant Nutrition (Institute of Pedology, Agrochemistry and Soil Protection “Nicolae Dimo”). A negative balance of biophilic elements was established in the control unfertilized variant regardless of the cultivated crop. In the fertilized variants the nitrogen balance was positive under green peas and sunflower and deficient under spiked cereals and corn.Phosphorus balance was positive under all crops when applying twice the dose of manure, while potassium balance has positive values for all crops, except corn. At the experimental field level, a deficient balance of nitrogen and a positive balance of phosphorus and potassium were established.

Renaissance, Reassurance and Restoration? Community Wardens and the urban realm in Scotland

In discussions of contemporary urban restructuring and claims about the emergence of new forms of urbanism, issues of crime control and community safety loom large as we witness significant changes in the nature of policing in urban areas. In particular, there has been the emergence of a more complex division of labour in the field of policing with phrases like the ‘extended policing family’, the ‘mixed economy of policing’ and local security networks’ increasingly used to capture the diversity of public, private and voluntary providers of policing services. It is against this background that this paper considers the introduction, role, impact and implications of Community Wardens within Scotland. Introduced in 2004 and employed by local authorities Community Wardens have responsibility for providing high visibility patrols to deter crime and anti-social behaviour as well tackling environmental issues like graffiti and vandalism. After setting out the wider policy context within which wardens are located, the paper draws on ethnographic fieldwork in one city (Dundee), to consider the wider implications of the use of Community Wardens in relation to three key questions that have been the focus of government urban policy in Scotland and the rest of the UK. First, to what extent has the introduction of Wardens contributed to a process of urban renaissance by making cities more attractive places to live and work? Second, how far have Wardens managed to narrow the so-called ‘reassurance gap’ that has emerged in UK cities as crime rates fall but peoples’ anxieties and fears about crime continue to increase? Third, can Wardens play a role in restoring relationship between individuals within communities and between communities and their local environment?

The Roots and Routes to Compliance and Citizens’ Cooperation with the Belgian Police

Procedural justice theory assumes that trust in procedural justice and in the effectiveness of the police are important issues for building the legitimacy of the aforementioned institution. Additionally, the perception of police legitimacy, as a result of public trust, is necessary for the recognition of police authority. When citizens acknowledge the right of the police to determine authority, they are assumed to feel the obligation to obey the police and ultimately comply with the law and cooperate with the police. This theoretical framework has mainly been tested in Anglo-Saxon countries. Hence, the purpose of this contribution is to test the key assumptions of procedural justice theory in the Belgian context using data from the European Social Survey (ESS). Little evidence was found for the procedural justice theory in the Belgian context.

Physical fitness and anthropometric characteristics of graduating Norwegian Police University College students

The aim of the study was to assess physical fitness and anthropometric characteristics of Norwegian male and female graduating police university college students. Several fitness tests (i.e. upper body strength, explosive leg power and endurance capacity) were conducted and anthropometric data (i.e. body mass and stature) were collected. Compared with relevant reference groups, the present students perform well on physical fitness tests. Moreover, this study provides a better understanding of some of the properties forthcoming police officers obtain, and the present findings could be valuable if one aims to further investigate the development of physical fitness throughout police careers.

Surrounded by Safety: Safety as an encompassing policy concept in the Netherlands

Safety used to be a pretty straightforward concept: governments need to safeguard the country from invasion and its citizens from crime. Over time, additional issues became to be defined as a safety problem. Even so, the safety problems and their accompanying policies remained clearly demarcated – safety revolved, for example, around product safety. Recently, an encompassing safety concept has become popular in the Netherlands. No longer referring to a clearly demarcated policy issue, the concept and its related integrated safety policy covers everything from fighting crime to making sure that street lights work. In this article, we show how safety in general has become firmly embedded on the Dutch government agenda over time and explain what integrated safety policy entails.

Policing Berlin: From separation by the ‘iron curtain’ to the new German capital and a globalised city

Since the 1990s many authors observe a pluralisation of police functions in Europe. The paper shows that this trend is also recognisable in the city of Berlin. For example, private security companies have gained importance. Their presence may indicate an increasing intensity of formal social control. Prevention in a broach sense has become important for the Berlin State Police. However, policing in this city is also influenced by path-dependencies, going back to the specific situation of a divided city at the frontline of the east-west conflict before 1990 and to the transfer of federal government institutions to the city since the late 1990s. Specific patterns of the German administrative and legal system also influence policing at Berlin. Compared to the period before 1990 with the presence of the allied military forces and the powerful secret service (Staatssicherheit) in the Eastern part of the city, Berlin is probably less securitized today.
