Laughter in the Ghetto
Authors: Peschel Lisa
Published: September 2020

The World War II Jewish ghetto at Theresienstadt, forty miles northwest of Prague, was the site of an uncommonly active cultural life. Survivor testimony about the prisoners’ theatrical performances inspired a question: why were almost all of the scripts written in the ghetto comedies? The recent rediscovery of several scripts has made possible a detailed analysis that draws from recent research on the psychological effects of different types of humour. This analysis reveals that, regardless of age, language or nationality, the Theresienstadt authors universally drew upon two potentially adaptive types of humour (self-enhancing and affiliative humour) rather than two potentially maladaptive types (aggressive and self-defeating humour). Perhaps instinctively, they chose the very types of humour that have a demonstrated association with psychological health and that may have helped them preserve their psychological equilibrium in the potentially traumatising environment of the ghetto.

Published: September 2020

Majority of reports of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 have come from Europe and North America, with a paucity of cases in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa. The paucity of reports in Africa is in contrast with the demographics of the series in New York, Paris and UK which reported that children of African ancestry accounted for 40%, 57% and 75%, respectively of all cases of MIS-C. With the global trend of higher prevalence of MIS-C in children of African ancestry, enhanced surveillance and awareness for this syndrome in children with COVID-19 in Africa is therefore important as the previous and current observations of Kawasaki Disease (KD) and MIS-C as a rarity in Africa may be due to under-reporting, a poor index of suspicion and missed diagnosis. A case report of a 12-year old Nigerian girl with MIS-C is presented in line with the WHO call for urgent reporting and global surveillance especially in areas were MIS-C is considered a rarity. This case report stimulates a call for vigilance and expanded effort at surveillance to promote early recognition and diagnosis of MIS-C in Africa; using current case definitions which promote the recognition of MIS-C in areas of resource limitation. The favourable outcome and experience from this case will create awareness, expand knowledge, and support clinicians on the African continent in their approach to other potential cases.

Published: September 2020

Large scale real-time water quality monitoring system usually produces vast amounts of high frequency data, and it is difficult for traditional water quality monitoring system to process such large and high frequency data generated by wireless sensor network. A real-time processing and early warning system framework is proposed to solve this problem, Apache Storm is used as the big data processing platform, and Kafka message queue is applied to classify the sample data into several data streams so as to reserve the time series data property of a sensor. In storm platform, Daubechies Wavelet is used to decompose the data series to obtain the trend of the series, then Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM) model is used to model and predict the trend of the data. This paper provides a detailed description concerning the distribution mechanism of aggregated data in Storm, data storage format in HBase, the process of wavelet decomposition, model training and the application of mode for prediction. The application results in Xin’an River in Yantai City reveal that the prosed system framework has a very good ability to model big data with high prediction accuracy and robust processing capability.

Authors: Okobira Tatsuya , Nguyen Dang-Trang , Taguchi Kozo
Published: September 2020

Many efforts have been devoted to the improvement of metal-air batteries. Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust and has high electrochemical potential. Therefore, the aluminum-air battery is one of the most attractive metal-air batteries. To overcome some disadvantages of the aluminum-air battery, some alloys of aluminum and several metals have been proposed. In this study, the performance improvement of the aluminum-air battery by doping zinc (Zn) to the aluminum anode was investigated. Zinc was doped to aluminum by a simple process. The difference in the characteristics of Zn-doped Al due to different heating temperature during the doping process was also investigated. The maximum power density of the battery was 2.5 mW/cm2.

A printed electrical impedance tomography sensor for detection of damage in composites
Authors: Yan Gang , Zheng Yifei
Published: September 2020

This paper proposes a new printed electrical impedance tomography (EIT) sensor for detection of damage in composite structure. The EIT sensor consists of a sensing area and related electrical circuits. It is directly printed on the surface of composite structure by a layer-by-layer screen printing process with graphene-doped carbon ink and silver ink. By injecting tiny currents into the EIT sensor and measuring the corresponding boundary voltages, damage information can be obtained by inverse analysis to reconstruct the distribution of conductivity change caused by damage. It has the potential to quantitatively identify the locations and sizes of multiple damage without any prior knowledge. Experimental results on a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plate with different number of simulated damage have demonstrated the effectiveness of the printed sensor itself and the related damage detection method.

Semi-active vibration control of large-scale flexible structure based on fuzzy adaptive SSDV technique
Authors: Wang Xiang , Wang Xiaoyu , Chai Hongyou , Gao Feng , Wang Haowei , Ji Hongli , Qiu Jinhao
Published: September 2020

In order to suppress the vibration of large-scale flexible structures which are applied on the spacecraft, a semi-active control method based on fuzzy adaptive SSDV (synchronized switch damping on voltage) technique is proposed. The value of voltage source at the switching moment is adjusted adaptively by using fuzzy logic, in order to improve the stability and control precision of the semi-active control system. The feasibility of this method is verified by two kinds of experiments with typical disturbance conditions. By comparing different adaptive displacement-voltage curves, the fuzzy adaptive method can achieve higher control precision. For the initial displacement disturbance of 10 mm, the fuzzy adaptive SSDV method can increase the system damping ratio from 0.6% to 5.1%. The control effect decreases with the increase of initial displacement. For the disturbance caused by the mechanism at the tip position, the method can effectively shorten the vibration damping time and reduce the displacement from 0.3 mm to 0.04 mm.
Design of orthogonal eddy-current probe for weld crack detection of carbon-steel plate
Authors: Chen Tao , Xiao Xiaoqi , Zhang Lihong , Lv Cheng , Deng Zhiyang , Song Xiaochun
Published: September 2020

Due to uneven surface and lift-off effect, it is difficult to detect weld crack by eddy-current testing. A new orthogonal eddy-current probe for weld crack detection of carbon-steel plate was designed in this paper. Based on COMSOL Multiphysics, the influence of scanning angle on detection sensitivity of the probe was compared firstly. Then, the effects of coil width, coil side length, detection coil height, and lift-off distance on detection sensitivity of the probe were studied, respectively. Finally, the test piece of carbon-steel plate weld with crack, and the physical probe used to verify the crack detection effect were made. The experimental results show that the weld crack of carbon-steel plate with length × width × depth of 20.0 mm × 0.3 mm × 1 mm can be effectively identified, and the lift-off noise can be effectively suppressed by the method presented in this paper. At the same time, the signal-to-noise ratio of the probe keeps constant in the lift-off distance range of 0.3 mm–3.0 mm.

Authors: Dizman Nazli , Salgia Nicholas J. , Bergerot Paulo G. , Hsu JoAnn , Ruel Nora , Pal Sumanta K.
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND:

No study to date has assessed the relationship between treatment-specific therapeutic outcomes and race/ethnicity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). As targeted therapies have formed the backbone of first-line treatment options for mRCC until very recently, we assessed the relationship between race/ethnicity and targeted therapy-related outcomes in mRCC.

OBJECTIVE:

To retrospectively compare response rates and survival outcomes across ethnicities in patients who received first-line targeted therapies for mRCC.

METHODS:

Patients with mRCC receiving a first-line targeted therapy were identified from an institutional database encompassing consecutive patients treated between 2009 and 2019. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics and survival outcomes were recorded. The racial/ethnic groups included for analysis were Caucasian American, Hispanic American, and Asian American. Survival and response outcomes including progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were calculated and compared across ethnic groups using Kaplan-Meier method and Chi-square test, respectively.

RESULTS:

In total, 295 patients were included for analysis. There were 184 (62.4%) Caucasian American patients, 82 (27.8%) Hispanic American patients, and 29 (9.8%) Asian American patients. No statistically significant differences in PFS nor OS were found between groups (PFS: 5.6 vs. 4.7 vs. 4.7 months, respectively) (OS: 32 vs. 31.7 vs. 51.7 months, respectively). No significant difference was found in ORR nor DCR across groups. Univariate cox regression analyses demonstrated no independent effect of race/ethnicity on PFS or OS.

CONCLUSIONS:

The apparent lack of differences in treatment-related outcomes across racial/ethnic groups is encouraging. However, further validation is required in larger series.
Difficulty-level modeling of ontology-based factual questions
Authors: Venugopal Vinu E. , Kumar P. Sreenivasa
Published: September 2020

Semantics-based knowledge representations such as ontologies are found to be very useful in automatically generating meaningful factual questions. Determining the difficulty-level of these system-generated questions is helpful to effectively utilize them in various educational and professional applications. The existing approach for predicting the difficulty-level of factual questions utilizes only few naive features and, its accuracy (F-measure) is found to be close to only 50% while considering our benchmark set of 185 questions. In this paper, we propose a new methodology for this problem by identifying new features and by incorporating an educational theory, related to difficulty-level of a question, called Item Response Theory (IRT). In the IRT, knowledge proficiency of end users (learners) are considered for assigning difficulty-levels, because of the assumptions that a given question is perceived differently by learners of various proficiency levels. We have done a detailed study on the features/factors of a question statement which could possibly determine its difficulty-level for three learner categories (experts, intermediates, and beginners). We formulate ontology-based metrics for the same. We then train three logistic regression models to predict the difficulty-level corresponding to the three learner categories. The output of these models is interpreted using the IRT to find a question’s overall difficulty-level. The accuracy of the three models based on cross-validation is found to be in satisfactory range (67–84%). The proposed model (containing three classifiers) outperforms the existing model by more than 20% in precision, recall and F1-score measures.

Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND: Welding pollutants have potentially dangerous effects on the health of welders. Analysis of exposure risks is an appropriate method for industrial hygiene occupational exposure. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to determine the concentrations of exposure and risk evaluation of welders to fumes and gases in three common types of welding including Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out at a steel company. Samples were taken from manganese, chromium and nickel fumes with NIOSH 7300 method and for NO, NO2, CO and O3 gases using direct reading instruments. SQRCA method was used to assess the level of exposure risk. RESULTS: Our study showed that the highest and lowest concentrations of exposure to gases were observed in MIG and GTAW welding, respectively. Also, the highest and lowest concentrations of exposure to metals were observed in SMAW and GTAW processes, respectively. Mean exposure to M, Cr and Ni metals was 2.302, 3.195, and 1.241 mg/m3, respectively. Also, mean exposure to CO, NO, NO2 and O3 was 43.05, 27.88, 4.30, and 0.41 ppm, respectively. Results of risk analysis showed that O3, NO2 and Cr had high and very high risk levels in all welding processes. CONCLUSIONS: MIG and SMAW welders have a high occupational exposure to metal and toxic gases in welding. Preventive measures such as assessment of workplace air, installation of the ventilation systems, and providing appropriate respiratory protection devices for welders should be taken.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), which is based on limited-angle tomography, was developed to solve tissue overlapping problems associated with traditional breast mammography. However, due to the problems associated with tube movement during the process of data acquisition, stationary DBT (s-DBT) was developed to allow the X-ray source array to stay stationary during the DBT scanning process. In this work, we evaluate four widely used and investigated DBT image reconstruction algorithms, including the commercial Feldkamp-Davis-Kress algorithm (FBP), the simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT), the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) and the total variation regularized SART (SART-TV) for an s-DBT imaging system that we set up in our own laboratory for studies using a semi-elliptical digital phantom and a rubber breast phantom to determine the most superior algorithm for s-DBT image reconstruction among the four algorithms. Several quantitative indexes for image quality assessment, including the peak signal-noise ratio (PSNR), the root mean square error (RMSE) and the structural similarity (SSIM), are used to determine the best algorithm for the imaging system that we set up. Image resolutions are measured via the calculation of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and artefact spread function (ASF). The experimental results show that the SART-TV algorithm gives reconstructed images with the highest PSNR and SSIM values and the lowest RMSE values in terms of image accuracy and similarity, along with the highest CNR values calculated for the selected features and the best ASF curves in terms of image resolution in the horizontal and vertical directions. Thus, the SART-TV algorithm is proven to be the best algorithm for use in s-DBT image reconstruction for the specific imaging task in our study.

FILOSOFIA DA MÚSICA SCHOPENHAUERIANA: CIÊNCIA E METAFÍSICA
Authors: Oliveira Sidnei De
Published: September 2020

O filósofo Arthur Schopenhauer apresentou em sua filosofia, especialmente na hierarquia das artes, no terceiro livro de Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (O mundo como vontade e representação), uma filosofia que coloca a música como arte suprema. Além da metafísica anunciada em sua obra, é interessante notar que, diferentemente das outras artes, a música precisava de algo mais para ser inserido em sua filosofia da vontade, a saber, os graus dos intervalos que compõem a harmonia musical, ou seja, os números. Assim, é possível dizer que a ciência dos números está presente na filosofia da música de Schopenhauer, bem como na metafísica da vontade e sua manifestação no mundo. Neste artigo, pretendo mostrar que os números usados por Schopenhauer e a objetivação da vontade são ao mesmo tempo ciência e metafísica.

Published: September 2020

Poucos pensadores alcançaram o prestígio acadêmico de Pierre Bourdieu, um dos mais importantes sociólogos do século XX. Há certa unanimidade no meio acadêmico sobre este ponto, isto porque a obra bourdieusiana, sem dúvida profícua, impactou diretamente os estudos desta e de outras áreas do conhecimento. Ademais, para quem deseja um exemplo mais concreto, Bourdieu chegou a ser o autor mais citado do mundo, de modo que hoje é impossível não se deparar com seus estudos em campos diversos do saber: da educação à sociologia, da comunicação à ciência política, da epistemologia das ciências sociais à reflexão sobre o campo acadêmico e sobre o neoliberalismo.

Estimation of influence and tolerance of inhalations of hypertonic 7 % saline together with hyaluronic acid in chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases
Authors: Todoriko L. D.
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND. Chronic inflammatory reaction in chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases leads to the accumulation of sputum in airways, which causes frequent exacerbations and disease progression. Inhalations of 7 % hypertonic saline (HS) is an effective method of sputum removal, however, the majority of patients, which have the determined bronchial hyperreactivity, can’t tolerate such treatment. Addition of 0.1 % hyaluronic acid (HA) increases their tolerance of HS.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of the study was to estimate the influence and tolerance of inhalations of OKISTAR hyal 7 %, containing 7 % HS and sodium hyaluronate (SH) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).

MATERIALS AND METHODS. We investigated 62 patients with COPD, which produced more than 10 ml of sputum daily and had more than 2 exacerbations annually on the background of adherence to standard therapy. All patients were divided into 3 clinical and pathogenetic groups. Study design was similar to open comparative randomized study.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing action of nebulization of HS and HS + SH was proved by the significant decrease of byproducts and end products of lipid peroxidation in blood, namely, isolated double bonds (IDB), diene conjugates (DC), ketodienes and conjugated trienes (KCT), malone dialdehyde in plasma (MDpl), oxidative modification of neutral and base proteins aldehyde- and ketone-dinitrohydrazones, peroxide resistance of red blood cells (PRRBC) and elimination of factors of misbalance of antioxidant protection, increase of the content of reduced glutathione and ceruloplasmine; decrease of catalase, glutathione transferase, glutathione peroxidase in the dynamics of proposed treatment. Analysis of the research data showed that the level of MApl, IDB, DC, KCT, PRRBC lowered from the baseline values in group 2В by 39.3; 17.3; 16.02; 16.5 and 72.9 % respectively (р<0.05 in all cases). The received data suggest that the proposed addition to basic therapy leads to the normalization of activity balance in the system of antiradical protection. Such effects are clearly seen in case of combined therapy (HS + HA) usage, which certifies the synergic action of proposed medications.

CONCLUSIONS. Usage of OKISTAR hyal 7 %, which contains HS7 % and SH 0.1 %, in patients with COPD exacerbations provides the additional effect due to improvement of functional parameters, decreases the systemic steroids usage and the risk of basic therapy failures, diminishes exacerbation length and duration of inpatient treatment, decreases the need in salbutamol inhalations and dyspnea grade, provides the positive dynamics of clinical symptoms and increases the quality of life. Combination of HS and HA for nebulization is characterized by the synergetic action of both medications and can be administered to patients with COPD, beginning from stage II, as a basic therapy.

The  unique properties of spatial data provide challenges  and  opportunities  for  researching  new methods  in  spatial  data  mining.  In  this  article,  we propose  an  interoperable  framework  that  integrates Geographic  Information  System  (GIS)  with  the  spatial data  mining  processto  facilitate  spatial  data preparation,  to  extract  spatial  relationships  that  can take  advantage of traditional data  mining toolkits such as Weka, and to reveal significant spatial patterns. With this approach, it’svery straightforward to adopt spatial access methods and spatial query processing algorithms foran  efficient  data  mining  technique.  Moreover,  our framework  visually  supports  the  complete  spatial  data mining process.

As tentativas de definir uma identidade para o ensino médio, etapa final da educação básica, têm levado os governos à proposição de reformas, especificamente nas últimas décadas, e suscitado a necessidade de estudos e pesquisas para compreendê-las. Diante disso, neste artigo, discute-se resultados de uma pesquisada bibliográfica com o objetivo de refletir acerca do lugar que ocupa o ensino médio na educação básica. Para isso, consideram-se os determinantes sociais que motivam as mudanças propostas e que interferem no cumprimento, pela escola, do seu papel social. O estudo de abordagem qualitativa leva em conta a relevância do aprofundamento conceitual da educação básica e da relação dialética entre as etapas desse nível de ensino, bem como do trabalho pedagógico realizado nas escolas. As discussões buscam compreender como as reformas contribuem para aproximar ou distanciar o ensino médio da educação básica, interferindo na constituição de uma identidade formativa, e sinalizam que essa etapa de ensino tem se tornado estratégica nas atuais reformas educacionais tendo em vista o desenvolvimento do país em que a exploração da mão de obra jovem vem disfarçada de “democratização do acesso à escolarização”. A análise indica que as reformas mais recentes têm caminhado no sentido de distanciar o ensino médio das finalidades da educação básica ao deslocar o foco dessa etapa de ensino para o acesso ao ensino superior.
A RODA DE LEITURA COMO UMA PROPOSTA PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE LEITORES LITERÁRIOS NO PROJETO DE EXTENSÃO ‘FRAGATA: ITINERÂNCIAS LITERÁRIAS’
Authors: Trujillo Carlos Saul Araujo , Pinto Nathália Soares
Published: September 2020

O presente relato tem por objetivo narrar algumas experiências de ações promovidas pelo “Fragata: Itinerâncias Literárias”. Iniciado em 2017, esse projeto interinstitucional de extensão envolve cinco escolas públicas das redes federal e estadual, que promovem rodas de leitura internas e, ao final de cada mês, se reúnem em um encontro único de “itinerância”. A partir da noção de “dodiscência” (FREIRE, 1996) e do “saber de experiência” (LARROSA, 2002) busca-se, por meio dos círculos de leitura, de diferentes mediações de leitura e do afeto, coadunar experiência vivida e lida. Essas práticas incentivam a formação de leitores literários críticos e autônomos (FREIRE, 1996), gerando, também, uma reflexão acerca da prática docente. O tema abordado no primeiro semestre de 2019 foi o da “Memória”, contemplando os seguintes subtemas: “Memórias ancestrais”, “Memória subjetiva”, “Memória como resistência” e “Memória a ser construída”. A partir dessa trajetória, optamos por detalhar nesta comunicação, por meio do relato de experiência dos bolsistas, as atividades e vivências do módulo intitulado “Memória a ser construída”.

Despertou-nos interesse investigar o desenvolvimento das práticas pedagógicas promotoras da educação científica no contexto de quatro escolas sul cearenses sob a perspectiva discente e docente. Notou-se no alunado informante em relação às aulas de Ciências, interesse e curiosidade, grande parte costuma fazer perguntas e como melhorias ressaltam os laboratórios e aulas práticas. O corpo docente amostral apontou em sua maioria tendências tradicionais e construtivistas nas instituições de trabalho e empregar a pesquisa, aulas expositivas dialógicas e diálogos e reflexões por meio de debates na prática docente. Feiras de ciências, projetos e exposições também são atividades realizadas para aproximar os discentes da educação científica. Nesse sentido, a trama dos resultados nos permitiu identificar lacunas e aspectos positivos, relevantes pontos de atenções e reflexões.

The program of palm oil-based bioenergy development and utilization is one solution that can be applied to meet the electricity needs of the rural community in Indonesia. However, various needs and obstacles faced by related stakeholders have caused the program to not be implemented. The objectives of this study were to identify institutional issues that begin with identifying the needs and fundamental issues of program implementation, to identify key elements of the program's success, and to the determination of an adaptive institutional model. A total of 12 experts were involved and provided an assessment. The analysis was performed with the implementation of the seven stages in the Soft System Methodology. To get more structured and measurable analysis results, the analysis was also supported by Hard Systems Methodology techniques, such as the Interpretive Structural Modeling and Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process. The result of the study obtained 7 key sub-elements, consisting of 3 sub-elements in the program needs element, 1 sub-element in the major constraint element, 1 sub-element in the objective element and 2 sub-elements in the supporting factor element. The study also gained and adaptive institutional model that plays a role in the provision of raw materials, infrastructure construction, energy transformation, operational and management, distribution and commercialization of electricity to rural communities.

We study the dynamics of changes in the nature and contents of documental attestation of vital records in regard to the development of institution of the state civil status registration associated with reformation of public authorities. The issue of partial transfer of functions of the state civil status registration authorities to notaries is considered. We proved that it is necessary to further improve the organization of the state civil status registration authorities in conditions of decentralization. The article examines the list of problematic issues and positive outcomes achieved by the Government during the introduction of various forms of certificates, which has scientific, historical and applied significance, it promotes the detailed research of development trends, reasons of creating new forms of documents, change of their outline, it gives a clue to the function of the specific certificate which is certified by a certain vital record.

In the process of detailed analysis of the form and contents of the documents which legally certify various vital records, it was found that they perform the important legal and information function. Due to these certificates the official status is granted to the most significant events of human life: birth, marriage, death. Therefore, their potential function offers an opportunity to study the dynamics of social relations and find out the importance of particular details which were indicated in various manners in different periods of development of our state.

Having considered the content of certificates in different periods of state formation, we will conclude that notwithstanding constant reformation of the state government institutions in connection with the necessary authority decentralization of the state civil status registration offices, on the one hand current changes bring positive results, but on the other hand they are not free from shortcomings, and it proves the necessity of reviewing the reforms and transition of the government activity from extensive to intensive changes.

The need to maintain the appropriate level of qualification of personnel in the new conditions of management, the functioning of the market economy and public administration reform leads to the urgent need for continuous training of a large number of public servants at all levels in all regions of Ukraine, including Dnipropetrovsk region.

Traditional methods, tools and forms of education require a significant number of additional highly qualified teaching staff, increasing the number of educational institutions for training, retraining and advanced training of public servants and increasing their training capacity, frequent and long absences from the work of senior public servants. All this is time and money, which our country is very short of. The way to solve this problem is a large-scale transition to a qualitatively new level of full-time and part-time education – distance learning.

Currently, there is a rapid development of cloud technologies, in Ukraine the infrastructure of the e-government system is being created, which includes as a fragment the infrastructure created at the regional level. The regional fragment of the e-government system can be used effectively by filling it with modern and efficient cloud applications. Including applications, which allow to organize distance learning for public servants, employees of utilities, organizations and enterprises at the regional level. Therefore, today, the study of the functional capabilities of modern information and communication systems for the organization of professional distance learning at the regional level is an urgent task.

This article substantiates the feasibility of creating an educational service in the regional cloud of public administration. To this end, the followings are identified functions of educational service, groups of users of the educational service, Google applications that implement these features. Cases of foreign and domestic experience in organizing training of public servants using Internet technologies are considered. The experience of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Institute for Public Administration National Academy for Public Administration under the President of Ukraine shows that the use of the G Suite for Education package allows to create quickly and efficiently the single information and educational space for training and retraining of public servants and local government officials in the region.
