Justice as Fairness in a Practical Context
Authors:   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Chetkowski Andreas
Published: November 2024

This paper deals with John Rawls (1921-2002) and his work A Theory of Justice (1975), which Rawls himself calls “justice as fairness.” Basically, his theory is understood as distributive justice. In this context, on the one hand, important aspects of his theory will be explained, and on the other hand, the applicability of his basic ideas on the level of politics will be discussed. In order to trace the justice debate within political ethics a classification between equality ideals as well as a division between deontological and consequentialist theories of justice are carried out.
Decoding Cultural Treasures: Toward a Restoration Framework for Folk Dowry Chest
Authors:   National University of Arts Bucharest, Stefania Mesteriuc
Published: November 2024

This comprehensive scholarly investigation employs a systematic approach merging visual comparative analysis and semiotic examination to discern and interpret symbols and semiotics within historical dowry chests. Drawing from the extensive artifact repository at the National Museum of Bucovina and an analysis of pieces from the storage facilities of the Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum, the primary objective of this study is to decode the visual and symbolic narratives within the context of formulating a comprehensive intervention methodology for the restoration of a distinctive collection of dowry chests, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of their provenance. The research focuses on the two primary typologies, „Woodworker’s” chests and „Carpenter’s” chests, revealing common motifs, such as the enduring symbolism of fertility represented by the iconic tree of life and the resplendent flora, bearing cosmogonic and faith-related significance, whether of pagan or Christian origin. Notably, the analysis distinguishes these typologies. „Woodworker’s” chests exhibit symbolic motifs contributing to a nuanced narrative, albeit encoded, conveying messages through their ornamental intricacies. Conversely, „Carpenter’s” chests manifests a penchant for aesthetic ornamentation devoid of explicit narative informational symbolism. As generational shifts unfold, the ornamental lexicon undergoes simplification, mirroring transformations in the recipient’s interpretive lens. Beyond academic inquiry, this study holds practical implications for the preservation and restoration of culturally significant artifacts. By decoding the rich semiotic fabric woven into these dowry chests, it informs the development of a robust methodology for the restoration of unique pieces, ensuring the preservation of their historical, cultural, and artistic value for future generations. In essence, this research not only uncovers hidden layers of meaning within these intricate objects but also contributes to their enduring legacy as vital cultural treasures in need of preservation.

Application of Simpson's Rule in Mathematics Education for Finding the Volume of Solids of Revolution and Polyhedra
Authors:   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Angelov Rosen
Published: November 2024

Very often at school or university it is necessary to solve stereometric problems related to finding the volume of a body. Depending on the shape of the body, this can be a difficult task. To overcome this difficulty, it can be used Simpson's rule (prismoidal formula). The prismoidal formula is basically Simpson's rule and it is obtained by integrating the area parallel to the two planes of vertices. This formula can be used in finding and calculating the volume of polyhedral and solids of rotation - pyramids, prisms, parallelepipeds, wedges, cupolaes, antiprisms, cones, cylinders, spheres, etc.
Visions of an Unseen World. An Aesthetics of Space
Authors:   Institute of Doctoral Studies of the National University of Arts in Bucharest, Cаtаlin Trandafir
Published: November 2024

As cubism is the art of space with four dimensions – and whose mathematical laws were established by the mathematician Hermann Minkowski– and its form and implicitly its aesthetics reach the viewer through successive projections, from four to three dimensions and then to two, in the space of the painting, we can also generalize this problem through the art installation. Thus we can either perceive or construct an aesthetic of the Space proper to the artist, through the same indirect ways. Bearing in mind that our life itself takes place within a space, we can identify elements that have led to the essentialization of this artistic field, the art installation, in the various arts and activities such as architecture, dance, practices such as yoga, martial arts, And so on ideally, all this unfolds in a harmonious form conjugated with the space that hosts them. Thus we can indirectly perceive, by clues, the aesthetics of the space. And by extension, all of Nature is created according to harmonic laws in a space itself created according to harmonic laws. The art installation highlights the aesthetics of the space in which our lives unfold. As a form of artistic expression, I consider installation art to be the closest thing to being. I studied with the means of artistic research a part of the connection between the form and aesthetics of the space and the transmission to the viewer through immersion and interactivity, features of the art installation
The Problems with the Mental Overloading of Students at the Pre-Secondary Stage and the Opportunities for Optimization of Their Learning Time
Authors:   NGO „Professional Forum for Education“, Nancheva Svetlana , Petrov Filip ,   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia
Published: November 2024

A current popular topic in the Bulgarian education system is the overload of students from the pre-secondary stage (5th-7th grade) and the insufficient time for good practical classes. Instead of reducing the teaching material, which is the most often mentioned solution to the problem, the authors propose an alternative by using reserves from the organizational framework. A brief historical review was made and experience from a system that was successfully implemented in Bulgaria. Some possible modern applications of the reviewed methods are discussed
Contemporary Atomistic Model of Art. Part Three
Authors:   St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Totlyakov Atanas
Published: November 2024

The Contemporary Atomistic Model of Art sought represents an ontogenetic process of creation, communication and perception of the artwork in the environment that surrounds us and that is within us. Instead of immutable wholes (holism), we have infinite sets of processes of connection and disconnection, merging and splitting of “nuclei” (atomism) where interactions are clearly visible. Through art, thought of as the porous structure of society with permeable sites of relation, each image and each material form of an artwork is only a connective element with values and other forms that are transferable in society. This is a principle of dynamic connection in which form is a kind of representation and a potential condition of exchange. The in-between zone has been distinguished, bearing its own traditions and recognizing both the connectedness as well as the separate items that are connected. Fluid culture atomism (fluid atomism) is where we observe the dynamics in interactions in an ever-changing structure that is itself made up of separated atomic units briefly grouped into more complex molecular formations, with all the connections between them being impermanent and temporary. Both the internal structures and the state of the whole change. The interactions of individual units are a key factor in the analysis of processes in art. These processes are embedded in perishable, dynamically transforming networks of ‘private’ art worlds, the sum of which is not the Universal World but a momentary state in an ever-changing system. The relationship between the individual artist and the overall system of organized artistic life passes through interactions of a socialpsychological type in organized temporary groups of artists. This article discusses the possible relations between the field of social psychology and art. Emphasis is placed on the aspects of innovative artistic inquiry, discussed as the singular and the unique in art as opposed to the established order. Innovation in art is juxtaposed with innovation in social bonding as a social psychological problem of creativity. Individual creativity is compared to the creativity of groups and the particularities of the creative processes inherent to individual artists. Such an interpretation develops further the idea of an art world seen as impermanent and dynamically changing networks of ‘private’ art worlds. Among the autonomous zones defined by the individual and the group are found shared zones through which polar differences are harmonized. Individual artistic innovation is juxtaposed with innovative practices that are formed through the action of the groups.
State of Nature and Political Society in Hobbes and Rousseau: Juxtaposing Contrasts with Analogies
Authors:   Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Pizzolo Paolo
Published: November 2024

The unfold of the history of political doctrines underlines the existence of two antithetic human conditions, namely the state of nature and political society. Political philosophers expressed different views about the features of the state of nature and the consequent birth of political society. In this frame, Hobbes and Rousseau contributed enormously to the development of the debate. Through the analysis of the two authors’ primary sources, I attempt to compare the conflicting visions of Hobbes and Rousseau around the state of nature and political society but also to highlight some noticeable, somewhat neglected similarities. I argue that, while Hobbes and Rousseau expressed clear contrasting views on the human conditions in the state of nature and on the need for consociating in political society, they also shared five main assumptions, that is a common contractualistic vision of the origin of the state, the possibility of living in the state of nature, the condition of human equality in the state of nature, the convergence of the will of the state and the will of the people, and the mutual skepticism towards representative democratic forms of government.
Text, music, prosody, Bulgarian pop music – Mission Impossible?
Authors:   Neofit Rilski State University – Blagoevgrad, Mitsov Vencislav
Published: November 2024

Bulgarian pop music has walked and is still walking the path of its integration into the world music scene. This path is strewn with many challenges and pitfalls of sudden democratization, among them the still-searching for belonging and definition. In this report, we examine one of the “childhood diseases” of Bulgarian pop music – the problems with prosody in Bulgarian pop songs, leading to the shifting of word accents. Why is confused prosody so common? Where are the roots of the problems and what are the errors dictated by? These are the questions to which this text seeks the answer within the analysis of contemporary popular songs, historical context, and analysis of the situation in the Bulgarian show business.
Contemporary Actionism as a Total Work of Art
Authors:   Bucharest National University of Arts, Romania, Tanase Mihaela-Florina
Published: November 2024

The following report explores Richard Wagner’s concept of total art or Gesamtkunstwerk, a notion that gained prominence in the 19th century and found resonance in Symbolist art. This movement interpreted total art as a synthesis of various artistic forms, particularly music and theatre, infused with spiritual significance. Our objective is to demonstrate that in contemporary performative art, the integration of diverse media could give rise to a comprehensive work of art, akin to Wagner’s original vision. The article contends that performative art and actionism, by employing complementary artistic elements such as music, literature, theatre, objects, installations, and painting, have the potential to evolve into a unified and spiritually enriched work of art.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemia on the basic tuberculosis epidemiological indicators in Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Kravchenko A. F. , Gotovtzeva A. I.
Published: November 2024

The aim of the study. To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the main epidemiological indicators of tuberculosis in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Materials and methods. For a comparative assessment of morbidity and mortality from tuberculosis and similar indicators in the combined pathology of tuberculosis and COVID-19, statistical data of the organizational and analytical department of the State Budgetary Institution of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) »Scientific and Practical Center »Phthisiology« named after E.N. Andreev« used. The observation period covers the first half of 2018-2021. For the correct calculation of epidemiological indicators of semi-annual intervals, the method of the coefficient of the annual expression of the population (λ) used.

Results. Polynomial trend lines in absolute values have a steady decline in the incidence of tuberculosis (R2 = 0.8516; p < 0.01), mortality from tuberculosis (R2 = 0.9947; p < 0.05), with an insignificant decrease in the level of coverage of the population with preventive medical examinations (R2 = 0.293; p > 0.05). The decrease in the rate of tuberculosis incidence in various administrative-territorial zones was in the Arctic zone – by 6.8%, in the East Yakut region - by 58.2%, in the West Yakut region – by 39.9%, in the Central Yakut region – by 40.9% and in the South Yakut region – by 2.4%. The highest proportion of the tuberculosis incidence rate (per 100 thousand population) among territorial-administrative zones observed in the Arctic (24.3%) and East Yakut (26.4%) territories. In the West Yakut, Central Yakut and South Yakut zones, the spread of tuberculosis incidence was equivalent. The growth rates of the combined incidence of new coronavirus infection in tuberculosis patients were insignificant (p > 0.05): in 2020 – 22 cases (4.6 per 100 thousand population) and in 2021 – 26 cases (5.3 per 100 thousand population), which amounted to 12.7% and 17.7% of the number of newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients over the same period. Of the patients with tuberculosis with the combined pathology of COVID-19, a complication in the form of viral pneumonitis noted in 31.9% of cases, and of their number, according to the degree of CT 1, in 93.3% of cases.

Conclusion. Anti-epidemic measures to prevent the spread of a new coronavirus infection among the population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) are identical in effectiveness to those in tuberculosis. Various rates of decline of the main epidemiological indicators in the territorialadministrative zones of the republic characterize the effectiveness of both anti-epidemic and anti-tuberculosis measures among the population in the subordinate administrative territories. Limiting the spread of COVID-19 combined pathology among tuberculosis patients and good treatment outcomes indicates the readiness of the tuberculosis service of the republic and phthisiologists to work in new anti-epidemic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The characteristics of the COVID-19 epidemic process were studied according to the results of a PCR study by RT-PCR and full-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in Moscow during the year of observation from 30.07.2021 to 01.08.2022, the total volume of studies was 2 951 398. 19 091 samples were selected for subsequent study by full-genome sequencing. The evolutionary dynamics of genetic lines is noted. In the period from 07.2021 to the middle of 01.2022, the delta strain (AY.122) prevailed in Moscow, but from 12.13.2021 the first samples with the omicron strain (BA.1, BA.1.17.2) were found. In a little more than a month, these strains almost completely replaced the strains of the genetic lines (GL) «Delta«. «New» strains consistently replaced the earlier ones: from 13.12.2021 to 10.01.2022, 19 GL strains of omicron BA.1.x were identified. From 10.01.2022, a «Danish» variety of BA appeared in Moscow.2 (»Stealth Omicron«), which began to quickly displace the rest of the chapters. According to the DCLI, the sixth (since the summer of 2022) wave of infection spread is mainly determined by the «South African» strains of SARS-CoV-2 – variants of VA.4 and VA.5, which were first identified starting from 19.06.2022. The analysis of the prevalence and population composition of 1793 samples with SARS-CoV-2 for the period from 19.06. to 21.07.2022, GL BA.4.x, BA.5.x, VE.x, FF.x infected 1481 patients (82.6%). The pool of infected patients formed by the «early» generations totaled 312 patients.

During the year of observation, 13 cases of re–infection were established: 9 of them were infected with delta strains at the first disease and omicron strains at the second. Infection of two patients was also confirmed, in which in both cases COVID-19 disease was caused by «new» omicron strains.

Čo (ne)hovorí Nový zákon o hudbe a speve?
Authors:   Slavistický ústav Jána Stanislava SAV, v.v.i, Marinčák Šimon
Published: November 2024

Early Christian music is a phenomenon that, despite being crucial for the further development of Christian liturgical music, is still not sufficiently explored. One of the main reasons for this status is the fact that the writings of Holy Scripture speak of music only marginally and often only in an allegorical manner. Nevertheless, a contextualized reading can yield at least a few basic insights that shed light on the nature and place of music in the perceptions of the early followers of Jesus of Nazareth. This article attempts to provide some perspectives on the issue in an effort to shed more light on the knowledge of early Christian music.

Published: November 2024

The collaboration between biblical studies and art history is manifested in developing methods of visual exegesis that use the methodological principles of iconography and iconology. This text briefly outlines possible overlaps in the study of the theme of the sacrifice of the lamb. Above all, however, it focuses on the extraordinary complexity and sophistication of the pictorial programs of selected medieval works of art with this theme. On the one hand, the symbolic meanings and narrative contexts of the image of the lamb are anchored in biblical texts that have been canonized for centuries, thus establishing a continuity of meaning that transcends actual historical contexts. On the other hand, this complex set of references becomes the subject of artistic interpretations that have evolved historically. While this may raise doubts about the timeless nature of individual motifs, it also provides vibrant possibilities for dialogical encounters in further developing this historical legacy.

Among others, the researchers recommended that media organisations and other stakeholders embark on sensitisation to enlighten the public about the strength of blockchain technology.
Wuling capsule combined with sertraline in the therapy of anxiety and depression with insomnia in adolescents
Authors: Duo Li-Li , Rao Gao-Feng
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

The treatment of adolescent patients with anxiety, depression and insomnia is challenging, and there is no ideal treatment method.

AIM

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Wuling capsule combined with sertraline in the treatment of adolescent anxiety, depression and insomnia.

METHODS

Eighty adolescent patients with anxiety, depression with insomnia who were admitted to our hospital from April 1, 2022 to March 30, 2024. And the subjects were randomly classified into the control group (n = 40) and the observational group (n = 40). The control group was treated with a combination of sertraline and placebo. The observation group was treated with Wuling capsule in addition to sertraline. The two groups were cured continuously for 8 weeks. Insomnia severity index (ISI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate the clinical symptoms before treatment and at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after treatment. The Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) was used to evaluate adverse reactions during treatment.

RESULTS

There was no obvious difference in HAMD, HAMA and ISI scores between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the HAMD, HAMA and ISI scores of patients in both groups decreased compared with before treatment, and HAMD, HAMA and ISI scores of patients in the observation group were remarkedly lower than those in the control group at each time point after treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the TESS score of the study group were sharply lower (t = 18.239, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Wuling capsule can further alleviate the insomnia symptoms of adolescents with anxiety and depression, and the efficacy and safety are high. It is recommended to promote the application.
A Study on the Improvement of Housing Subscription System : Based on the unranked subscription system
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Seo Young-Cheon
Published: November 2024

Unranked subscription refers to a system in which subscriptions and wins are made regardless of the subscription ranking. Depending on its main contents, there are 'unranked post-subscription' methods, 'random supply', and 'resupply contract canceled housing'. These unranked subscriptions do not require a subscription bankbook when accepting subscriptions, and are characterized by the application of exceptions recognized as homeless members, and if there is a large market margin compared to the initial sale price, the subscription competition rate ranges from as few as several thousand to as many as several million.
Although one of the purposes of the housing subscription system is to select applicants for sale and supply housing based on the timing of subscription of resident savings products, if you look at the status of unranked subscriptions, it is very difficult to win due to fierce competition, but if you win, it is also called a very good so-called Lotto subscription.
In this study, matters related to the improvement of the unranked subscription system were presented. In the case of a large amount of market profit through deliberation, the amount of unranked subscription should be purchased from the public and then sold so that the profit can be used only for residential welfare purposes.
Providing the processing of unranked housing to the general public in the form of a sale at a high competition rate would be a more efficient processing method to purchase and process it in the public rather than paying the general subscriber a relative deprivation and a lot of consumptive effects on utility.
Enhanced Loan Risk Assessment: A Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Karunamurthy Dr. A , Pradeepkumar G , Nadesan R
Published: November 2024

This project develops a loan eligibility prediction
system using machine learning, specifically the
Random Forest Classifier. The system addresses the
limitations of manual loan approval processes, which
are time-consuming and prone to human error. A
machine learning model is trained on a dataset of loan
applications, incorporating features like gender, marital
status, income, loan amount, and credit history. This
model automatically predicts the eligibility of loan
applicants, providing a faster and more objective
assessment than traditional methods. The project also
includes a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)
built using Tkinter, allowing users to input applicant
information and receive an immediate loan approval or
rejection prediction. The model's performance is
evaluated using various metrics to ensure accuracy and
reliability. The high accuracy achieved by the k-nearest
neighbor algorithm demonstrates the effectiveness of
the proposed approach.

Whistleblowing: un repaso a las condiciones de protección del denunciante de irregularidades a la luz de la STEDH de 8 de octubre de 2024 (Aghajanyan v. Armenia)
Authors: Lousada Arochena José Fernando
Published: November 2024

La Sentencia de 8 de octubre de 2024 del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, objeto de comentario, estima la demanda de un trabajador denunciante de irregularidades cometidas por su empleadora relacionadas con el medio ambiente. A tales efectos, el Tribunal recuerda los aspectos esenciales de su doctrina previa sobre denuncias de irregularidades y sobre ejercicio de la libertad de expresión en el contexto de las relaciones laborales. El Estado está obligado a garantizar la libertad de expresión también en las relaciones entre personas privadas. Los órganos judiciales nacionales están obligados a motivar en términos suficientes para que el Tribunal puede verificar si se ha cumplido esa garantía. Sin embargo, en el caso no especificaron qué afirmaciones del demandante podrían ser difamatorias, ni analizaron los argumentos del demandante en relación con su preocupación de denunciar las irregularidades a sus superiores, y nunca apreciaron mala fe en la actuación del demandante. Tampoco los órganos judiciales nacionales examinaron en absoluto la relación entre el deber de lealtad del demandante y el interés público de estar informado sobre las cuestiones medioambientales y la percepción de irregularidades en la enorme fábrica de productos químicos en Armenia.

The Judgment of October 8, 2024 of the European Court of Human Rights, subject of comment, upholds the claim of a worker who reported irregularities committed at his employer related to the environment. For these purposes, the Court recalls the essential aspects of its previous doctrine on complaints of irregularities and on the exercise of freedom of expression in the context of labor relations. The State is obliged to guarantee freedom of expression also in relations between private persons. National judicial bodies are required to provide reasons in sufficient terms so that the Court can verify whether that guarantee has been met. However, in the case they did not specify which statements by the plaintiff could be defamatory, nor did they analyze the plaintiff's arguments in relation to his concern to report irregularities to his superiors, and they never found bad faith in the plaintiff's actions. Nor did the national judicial bodies at all examine the relationship between the plaintiff's duty of loyalty and the public interest in being informed about environmental issues and the perception of irregularities in the huge chemical factory in Armenia.

El procedimiento de conflicto colectivo al que acudió el sindicato en instancia es adecuado para dilucidar su pretensión sobre la conducta exigible al BBVA respecto de la accesibilidad de los representantes legales de los trabajadores a la información del registro diario de jornada, que no cuestiona la validez de ningún precepto del XXIV convenio colectivo sectorial de banca, de aplicación, ni plantea un conflicto de intereses.

The judgment of the Social Chamber of the Supreme Court 1142/2024, of September 17, 2024, upholds the appeal for cassation filed by a trade union federation with procedural defects not causing defenselessness. The collective conflict procedure used by the union at first instance is appropriate to elucidate its claim regarding the conduct required of BBVA regarding the accessibility of the legal representatives of the workers to the information of the daily record of the workday, which does not question the validity of any provision of the XXIV sectoral collective agreement of banking, applicable, nor does it raise a conflict of interests.

La sentencia objeto de análisis trata sobre la auténtica naturaleza jurídica de una cooperativa de trabajo asociado y de las relaciones con el personal que presta sus servicios para esta. Es una problemática que había merecido respuestas contradictorias por los Tribunales Superiores de Justicia de varias Comunidades Autónomas. El TC, modificando criterios anteriores, considera que no se trata de una autentica cooperativa, sino de una empresa que cede personal a otra, que es la auténtica empleadora del personal.

The judgment under analysis deals with the authentic legal nature of a worker cooperative and the relations with the personnel rendering services for it. It is a problem that had deserved contradictory answers by the High Courts of Justice of several Autonomous Communities. The Supreme Court, modifying previous criteria, considers that it is not an authentic cooperative, but a company that assigns personnel to another company, which is the real employer of the personnel.
Promotores de empleo de los Servicios Públicos en el marco de subvenciones del ámbito laboral con cargo a los Presupuestos Generales del Estado y la calificación de su despido.

La Sala Cuarta revisita su doctrina para insistir en que las extinciones de los contratos para obra o servicio determinado de los promotores de empleo contratados en el marco de subvenciones laborales con cargo a los Presupuestos Generales del Estado no han de computarse a los efectos del artículo 51 del Texto Refundido del Estatuto de los Trabajadores (ET), por cuanto no puede afirmarse deriven de la exclusiva voluntad del empleador.

The Fourth Chamber revisits its doctrine to insist that the terminations of contracts for a specific work or service of employment promoters contracted within the framework of labor subsidies charged to the General State Budgets must not be classified as null and void, but as inadmissible, since they do not have to follow the procedures contained in article 51 of the Consolidated Text of the Workers' Statute.
¿La aplicación del principio de proporcionalidad en el cómputo de los servicios a tiempo parcial frente a los prestados a tiempo completo dentro de un proceso de estabilización viene avalada por los parámetros de mérito y capacidad?
Authors: Rodríguez Escanciano Susana
Published: November 2024

La obligada observancia de los principios de mérito y capacidad en los procesos selectivos de estabilización en el empleo público justifica que se atribuya mayor puntuación a quienes han prestado servicios a tiempo completo frente a quienes lo han hecho a tiempo parcial, considerando debidamente justificada la aplicación del principio de proporcionalidad.

The compulsory observation of the principles of merit and capacity in the selective processes of stabilization in public employment justifies that higher scores are attributed to those who have served full time as opposed to those who have served part time, considering that the application of the principle of proportionality is justified.

Authors: Qasserras Lhoussine
Published: November 2024

This study assesses training of trainers (TOT) programs using the framework of transformational learning theory. It explores participants’ perspectives, training quality, trainer effectiveness, training philosophies, and suggestions for program improvement. A qualitative content analysis of the participant portfolios of 16 senior teachers underscores the importance of experiential learning components such as simulations and role-plays in promoting practical skills and enhancing theoretical understanding. Based on the results, we emphasize the importance of trainers possessing qualities such as empathy and respect as well as adopting a trainee-centered approach to create a transformative learning environment. We also recommend increasing program durations to facilitate deeper exploration and reflection. These insights enhance the continuing discussion on adult education and trainer development, providing recommendations for TOT programs.

Authors: JIN Ling , LIU Xiaogang
Published: November 2024

With the continuous change of the consumer market, clothing companies are paying more and more attention to users' experience. Quantifying the users' visual perceptions can help fashion designers to design clothing more scientifically. For the design element weights of women's shirts, this paper takes women aged 18-28 as subjects, and quantifies the subjects' visual perception through eye-tracking experiments. By analyzing the subjects' visual hotspots and key operational index data of ladies' shirts, the weights of each design element are derived. Then the experimental results are compared with the results of the expert hierarchical analysis method, and it is found that they are basically consistent. It shows that by quantifying users' visual perception, it can help fashion designers determine the weights of design elements more conveniently and effectively. Thus, it helps service designers to carry out personalized clothing design, and has important research significance for improving user satisfaction and design hit rate.

Authors: Lebrón Kuri Alfredo J. , Ríos Camacho Delisse M. , Díaz Sánchez Dara Y.
Published: November 2024

In this writing, a model for the development of entrepreneurship ecosystems in school communities, which is based on four pillars, is proposed. These four pillars are Empowerment, Action, Visibility and Sustainability. The model proposes to begin with an understanding of the school community’s environment and its context to be able to personalize its approach and make way for effective entrepreneurial initiatives. Then, the mentioned four pillars are developed. The empowerment aspect recognizes the importance of instructing educators and students with the necessary knowledge and tools for the development of an entrepreneurial mentality and innovation skills. This gives way for action, guiding the participants to develop entrepreneurial initiatives. Visibility highlights the importance of divulging project accomplishments through different channels to obtain support, attract resources, and improve the community’s esteem.

Published: November 2024

Medical report generation demands accurate abnormality detection and precise description generation from CT images. While large language models have shown promising results in natural language processing tasks, their application in medical imaging analysis faces challenges due to the complexity of fine-grained feature detection and the requirement for domain-specific knowledge. This paper presents a novel framework integrating large language models with specialized medical image processing techniques for fine-grained abnormality detection and natural language description generation. Our approach incorporates a multi-modal knowledge enhancement module and a hierarchical attention mechanism to bridge the gap between visual understanding and textual description. The framework employs an adapter-based architecture for efficient domain adaptation and introduces a medical knowledge-enhanced loss function to improve description accuracy. Experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, achieving 94.6% detection accuracy and a BLEU-4 score of 0.421 for description generation, surpassing current state-of-the-art methods. The system shows particular strength in handling subtle abnormalities, with a 91.2% average precision in fine-grained detection tasks. Comprehensive ablation studies validate the contribution of each component, while qualitative analysis demonstrates the clinical relevance of generated descriptions. The proposed framework represents a significant advancement in automated medical image analysis, offering potential benefits for clinical workflow optimization and diagnostic support.

The development of language skills in early childhood often encounters a range of obstacles. This occurs because early childhood education frequently employs conventional teaching methods that do not sufficiently engage the children’s needs in active language use. Thus, it is necessary to develop the methods adapting to the children's needs to improve language skills in early childhood, namely the conversation method. This research aims to explain the language skills of early childhood before and after the conversation method is applied. The research design is called Classroom Action Research (CAR). In this research, there we four stages include: 1) determining the population and sample, 2) data and sources of data, 3) data collection techniques, 4) data analysis techniques. The research results show that there is an improvement in children's language skills after implementing the conversation method. This can be seen from the results of observations of teacher activities in cycle I and cycle II which have increased, from an average value of 67.40% to 83.94%. The results of observations of children's activities in cycle I and cycle II also increased, from an average value of 56.62% to 78.45%.

Nationalism in the Poetry of the Taliban: A Postcolonial Study
Authors: Iltaf Sana , Rehman Fasih Ur , Nawaz Maham
Published: November 2024

This study examines the narratives of the Afghan Taliban through their poetry, contrasting the dominant Western portrayal of the group as violent extremists with their own self-representation(Johnson, 2013). Using postcolonial theory, the research explores themes of Watanwali (nationalism) as reflected in Taliban poetry, emphasizing its role in expressing Afghan culture, social norms, and identity. The analysis highlights the Taliban's use of poetry to convey grief, pride, and a profound connection to Afghan traditions and land. Incorporating elements of Afghan language, religion, and tribal codes, the poetry employs metaphors and symbols to articulate nationalism and serve as a form of resistance against foreign occupation. By inspiring Afghan youth to confront invaders, poetry functions as both a cultural artifact and a rhetorical tool. Textual analysis of pre-and post-9/11 poetry translations underscores its emotional depth and cultural significance (Mackee, 2003). The study concludes that Taliban poetry is not mere propaganda but a vital expression of Afghan identity and resistance, deserving critical scholarly attention.
