Effect of Calibration Training on the Calibration of Intelligence Analysts’ Judgments
Authors: Kelly Megan O. , Mandel David R.
Published: December 2023

Experts are expected to make well-calibrated judgments within their field, yet a voluminous literature demonstrates miscalibration in human judgment. Calibration training aimed at improving subsequent calibration performance offers a potential solution. We tested the effect of commercial calibration training on a group of 70 intelligence analysts by comparing the miscalibration and bias of their judgments before and after a commercial training course meant to improve calibration across interval estimation and binary choice tasks. Training significantly improved calibration and bias overall, but this effect was contingent on the task. For interval estimation, analysts were overconfident before training and became better calibrated after training. For the binary choice task, however, analysts were initially underconfident and bias increased in this same direction post-training. Improvement on the two tasks was also uncorrelated. Taken together, results indicate that the training shifted analyst bias toward less confidence rather than improve metacognitive monitoring ability.
More than just a phase: adolescence as a window into how the brain generates behavior
Authors: Insel Catherine , Cohen Alexandra O.
Published: December 2023

Adolescence is a dynamic period of brain development, marked by profound changes in learning, decision-making, and higher-order cognition. This review explores how research on the adolescent brain can inform the development of biologically-based computational models of learning and behavior. We highlight how computational frameworks such as reinforcement learning (RL) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) capture key features of adolescent behavior, including shifts in exploration and decision-making strategies. By integrating principles of brain development, such as synaptic pruning and hierarchical development of neural circuits, computational models can offer insights into how the brain adapts to new experiences and challenges. We argue that studying adolescent brain development not only enhances our understanding of cognition but also provides a valuable framework for refining computational models of brain function. We propose future directions for how adolescent research can inform innovations in computational research to better capture dynamic brain states, individual variability, and risk for psychopathology.
A deep learning algorithm for target speaker extraction to improve speech intelligibility in noisy multi-talker environments
Authors: Thoidis Iordanis , Goehring Tobias
Published: December 2023

Understanding speech in noisy environments, especially in communication situations with two or more competing speakers, is a challenging task. Despite their ongoing improvement, assistive listening devices and speech processing approaches still do not perform well enough in noisy multi-talker environments, as they fail to restore the intelligibility of a speaker of interest among competing sound sources. We developed a real-time feasible deep learning algorithm that can extract the voice of a target speaker, as indicated by a short enrollment utterance, from a mixture of multiple concurrent speakers in background noise. Objective evaluation with computational metrics demonstrated that the algorithm successfully extracts the target speaker from noisy multi-talker mixtures. This was achieved using a single algorithm that generalized to unseen speakers, different numbers of speakers and relative speaker levels, speech corpora, and an unseen language. A double-blind sentence recognition test on mixtures of one, two, and three speakers in restaurant noise was conducted with normal-hearing listeners and indicated significant intelligibility improvements with the speaker-informed model. In conclusion, we demonstrate that deep learning-based target speaker extraction can enhance speech perception in noisy multi-talker environments where uninformed speech enhancement methods fail.

Mekong delta is one of the most vulnerable delta in the world to climate change. Tourism is the rising economic sector in the region and is expected as one of the sectors to contribute much to the process of economic transformation and integration. However, this sector suffers from the climate-changing process due to its impacts on tourism resources, tourism products, and tourism infrastructures. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review of ongoing research on the concept and application of sustainable tourism development and climate change in the Vietnamese Mekong delta. The research discusses the literature on the concept of sustainable tourism development and offers an in-depth evaluation of the correlation between tourism and climate change in the area. In reality, there is insufficient strategic planning for the tourism industry in the context of climate change. Sustainable tourism development is recommended as a vital approach for the regional tourism sector, offering long-term adaptation to climate change in the context of the Mekong delta.
Revealing the invisible: A phenomenological reading of N.B. Phuong’s The Absent (1999) and W. Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying (1930)

This article conducts a comparative analysis of the concept of invisibility within two literary works: The Absent(Nguoi di vang, in Vietnamese) by N.B. Phuong and As I Lay Dying by W. Faulkner. It employs M. Henry’s phenomenological insights into life and aesthetics as a theoretical framework to delve into the expression and perception of invisibility in these texts. The study demonstrates that invisibility plays a dynamic role in both novels, exploring how it is articulated, revealed, perceived, and comprehended. By immersing characters in states of dying and coma, these narratives facilitate an exploration of the invisible as a perceptual experience. Both authors delve into the realm of invisibility by granting voices to the earth and its inhabitants, simultaneously emphasizing the silences and gaps in human communication. The central objective of this article is to identify common themes and perspectives related to the manifestation of life in these two writers’ works. Both N.B. Phuong and Faulkner conceive life as fundamentally invisible, with art serving as the means to unveil this invisible life.

This study analyses consumer preferences of the Japanese for vegetables and fruits using secondary data. Additionally, to analyse Vietnam’s potential export of fruits and vegetables, this study interviewed 53 Japanese consumers. The Japanese have long embraced a healthy lifestyle. Eighty percent of the Japanese participants in the survey consume fruit and vegetable products daily or 2-3 times a week. They have a wide range of places from which to purchase vegetables and fruits. From the perspective of Japanese consumers, Vietnamese fruit and vegetable products are more diverse and cheaper than those from the US, China, Thailand, etc. However, their quality is perceived to be inferior to that of these countries. The total value of Vietnamese fruit and vegetable exports to the Japanese market is quite modest, representing less than 2%. Therefore, to promote the export of Vietnamese vegetables and fruits to the Japanese market, Vietnamese enterprises should undertake the following activities simultaneously: (i) Establish an import market assessment room/centre in each Vietnamese exporting enterprise; (ii) Conduct an in-depth market study of fruit and vegetables in Japan; (iii) Improve understanding of consumer culture in Japan; (iv) Ensure quality of exported fruits and vegetables; and (v) Enhance trade promotion activities.

The knowledge economy stands as one of the development strategies pursued by every nation. Constructing a knowledge-based economy hinges on four pillars: the environment, the education system, the information infrastructure, and the innovation system. Consequently, education plays an integral role, particularly at the university level. To evaluate the educational process at universities, the academic achievements of students are consistently considered. Currently, across universities in general and An Giang University in particular, there is an escalating number of students experiencing poor academic performance, which leads to academic indebtedness, re-examinations, and delayed graduation. Hence, there is an imperative need to investigate the factors influencing students’ learning outcomes within the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at An Giang University. The primary objective of this study is to identify the factors that impact students’ learning outcomes and propose measures for enhancing these outcomes. The research encompasses two phases: qualitative research and quantitative research. Following the survey and data cleansing procedures, the sample size for analysis comprises 350 observations. The analysis outcomes reveal that four variables exhibit a positive correlation with students’ learning outcomes: family and societal factors, scholarships, infrastructure, and motivation. The results of this research are intended to serve as practical documents that can assist academic leaders in making informed decisions to enhance the quality of education within the faculty.

The sea-bound development of humankind is the most pronounced and significant feature of the 21st century, which is expected to be the ocean’s century. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognise the conservation and sustainable use of seas and oceans as an indicator of a country’s development level. Humankind faces grave challenges associated with marine environmental pollution due to the accelerated pace of maritime resource extraction. Owing to the uniformity and the transboundary nature of the marine environment, preventing and reducing marine environmental pollution is not only a national concern but also a regional and global priority. As a region with diverse ecosystems and abundant marine resources, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has long viewed marine environmental preservation as a cornerstone of its environmental protection strategy. This paper posits the effectiveness of ASEAN’s “soft law” and discusses member states’ cooperation through the establishment of regional documents and mechanisms to address environmental pollution. On that foundation, the study underscores the role of ASEAN’s “soft law” and projects its trajectory concerning the regional legal framework for protecting the marine environment.

W orzeczeniu tym Sąd Najwyższy doszedł do słusznego przekonania, że bezskuteczność wydziedziczenia może być następstwem, gdy do ustania więzi rodzinnej między spadkodawcą a najbliższym członkiem rodziny doszło z wyłącznej winy spadkodawcy. Glosa porusza kontrowersje związane z przesłanką winy testatora w kontekście przyczyny wydziedziczenia wymienionej w art. 1008 pkt 3 kodeksu cywilnego. Słusznym jest wniosek, że wydziedziczenie może być skuteczne jedynie wtedy, gdy do zerwania relacji rodzinnych doszło z wyłącznej winy spadkodawcy.
Prawo aborcyjne w Polsce – rys historyczny
Authors: Borkowska Katarzyna
Published: December 2023

Przesłanki dokonania legalnego zabiegu terminacji ciąży oraz przestępstwa z takowym związane stanowią kontrowersyjny temat – zarówno pod względem prawnym, jak też społecznym. Począwszy od pierwszej polskiej kodyfikacji karnej przepisy dotyczące aborcji ulegały wielu zmianom, które wynikały m.in. z aktualnej sytuacji politycznej. Przedmiot artykułu stanowią przepisy dotyczące aborcji w polskim porządku prawnym, to jest przepisy karne oraz przepisy określające przesłanki jej legalnego przeprowadzenia, w ujęciu historycznym. Cel pracy stanowiło wykazanie, że prawo aborcyjne w Polsce było w zależności od aktualnie obowiązującej ustawy mniej lub bardziej restrykcyjne. Hipoteza badawcza obrana w niniejszej pracy została sformułowana w następujący sposób: przepisy dotyczące terminacji ciąży w polskim porządku prawnym ulegały na przestrzeni lat zmianom. W celu weryfikacji przedmiotowej hipotezy badawczej posłużono się historyczną metodą badań. Najważniejszy wniosek wypływający z pracy jest taki, że zawartość normatywna przepisów polskiej ustawy karnej penalizującej przestępstwa związane z aborcją oraz ustaw regulujących przesłanki jej dopuszczalności ulegały wielu zmianom na przestrzeni lat i stanowią zagadnienie dyskusyjne.

Zdalny udział oskarżycieli w rozprawie w sprawach karnych
Authors: Szczechowicz Krystyna Jolanta
Published: December 2023

Nowelizacja art. 374 Kodeksu postępowania karnego dokonana ustawą „covidovą” z 19 czerwca 2020 r.[1] umożliwiła prowadzenie rozpraw w trybie zwyczajnym za pośrednictwem urządzeń zapewniających komunikację na odległość. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie czy wprowadzone do polskiego procesu karnego rozwiązania w zakresie zdalnych rozpraw  zapewniają oskarżycielom równe traktowanie i w należytym stopniu zmierzają do przystosowania procesu karnego do zmieniającego się życia społecznego oraz rozwoju technologicznego. Postawiono hipotezę badawczą, że aktualne uregulowania pozwalające oskarżycielom na zdalny udział w rozprawie nie traktują stron w równy sposób, ograniczają decyzyjność sądu, co do sposobu prowadzenia postępowania, nie dają możliwości korzystania z dobrodziejstw nowych technologii w sposób optymalny.
Bezpieczeństwo informacji jako zadanie jednostek sektora finansów publicznych
Authors: Janik Marcin , Hady-Głowiak Stanisław
Published: December 2023

W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia dotyczące zasad funkcjonowania i roli audytu wewnętrznego w jednostkach sektora finansów publicznych jako niezależnego i obiektywnego narzędzia zapewniającego i doradczego kierownika jednostki. Ponadto celem niniejszej pracy jest wskazanie na obowiązek jednostek sektora finansów publicznych w zapewnieniu okresowego audytu wewnętrznego i jego roli w zakresie zarządzania bezpieczeństwem informacji i wymaganych kwalifikacji audytorów w tym zakresie. Brak zapewnienia skuteczności i efektywności funkcjonowania systemu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem informacji w jednostce może spowodować straty finansowe, wizerunkowe, czy przeszkody w zachowaniu ciągłości działania i realizacji założonych celów i zadań. Rolą audytu jest wsparcie kierownika jednostki poprzez zapewnienie, że konkretny obszar działalności działa prawidłowo lub wymaga poprawy, a obowiązek realizacji okresowego audytu wewnętrznego w zakresie zarządzania bezpieczeństwem informacji w podmiotach publicznych wynika z przepisów prawa. Istotą jest zapewnienie przez kierownika jednostki wyznaczonemu audytorowi gwarancji niezależności i obiektywizmu, jak również poszerzania i zdobywania odpowiednich kwalifikacji potwierdzających wiedzę i doświadczenie w audytowanym obszarze. W przypadku bezpieczeństwa informacji warto podkreślić certyfikację audytora wiodącego Systemu Zarządzania Bezpieczeństwem Informacji wg normy PN-EN ISO/IEC 27001:2022 potwierdzającą wymaganą wiedzę i doświadczenie w zakresie bezpieczeństwa informacji, techniki informatycznej i audytowania.

Authors: Mielcarek Piotr
Published: December 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie wybranych znamion przestępstwa z art. 193 kodeksu karnego, w szczególności pod kątem ukazania problemów, jakich ich aktualne ujęcie może wywołać w praktyce stosowania tego przepisu. W niniejszym artykule zostały przedstawione poglądy doktryny oraz orzecznictwa w zakresie wybranych elementów przestępstwa z art. 193 k.k. (takich jak „dom”, „wdarcie się”, „osoba uprawniona” oraz „ogrodzony teren”) – oraz zestawione z konkretnymi przykładami stanów faktycznych, w których utrwalone w nauce prawa karnego znaczenie tych przepisów może wywołać wątpliwości, w tym także w zakresie umożliwiającym uniknięcie sprawcy poniesienia odpowiedzialności karnej w sytuacji, w której odpowiedzialność ta będzie w pełni uzasadniona.

Authors: Bogdalski Piotr Dariusz
Published: December 2023

Przedmiotem rozważań prezentowanych w artykule jest prywatny sektor ochrony osób i mienia, zaś ich celem – ocena bieżącego nadzoru państwa nad tym sektorem. W artykule zdefiniowano pojęcie bieżącego nadzoru państwa nad prywatną działalnością ochroniarską oraz  wskazano podmioty, którym powierzono jego sprawowanie. Jednocześnie przedmiotem szczegółowych rozważań uczyniono zakres przedmiotowej i podmiotowej właściwości wspomnianych podmiotów, dostępne im środki kontroli i nadzoru oraz realizację ich kompetencji nadzorczych w praktyce. Ustalenia w powyższym względzie pozwoliły na dokonanie krytycznej oceny państwowego nadzoru w aspekcie systemowym, regulacyjnym i wykonawczym. Sformułowano również wnioski dotyczące zakresu ewentualnych zmian legislacyjnych oraz organizacji aparatu nadzoru. Do podstawowych metod badawczych, które zostały wykorzystane do osiągnięcia zakładanego celu należały metody teoretyczne, wśród których wypada wymienić analizę dogmatyczno-prawną, krytyczną analizę literatury oraz analizę dokumentów. Przedstawione w artykule wnioski mogą być przyczynkiem w dyskusji nad poprawą państwowego nadzoru nad prywatnym sektorem ochrony.
Charakter prawny delegowania przez radę dyrektorów prowadzenia spraw spółki na rzecz dyrektorów wykonawczych w prostej spółce akcyjnej
Authors: Gornowicz Michał
Published: December 2023

Możliwość ustanowienia delegacji uprawnień rady dyrektorów na rzecz dyrektorów wykonawczych w prostej spółce akcyjnej (zwanej dalej jako PSA) została wprowadzona do polskiego systemu prawnego wraz z przepisami dotyczącymi PSA, co miało miejsce 1.07.2021 r. Podstawą delegacji jest art. 300⁷⁶ § 1 k.s.h. stanowiący, że regulamin rady dyrektorów lub uchwała rady dyrektorów może przewidywać delegację niektórych albo wszystkich czynności prowadzenia przedsiębiorstwa spółki na jednego dyrektora albo niektórych dyrektorów (dyrektorzy wykonawczy). Celem artykułu jest określenie charakteru prawnego przedmiotowej delegacji na gruncie funkcjonowania PSA, która od relatywnie krótkiego czasu obowiązuje w polskim systemie prawnym. W związku z powyższym, poruszona przez Autora problematyka nie została wyczerpana w literaturze przedmiotu. W wyniku podjętych rozważań prawnych ustalono, że przedmiotowa delegacja uprawnień ma charakter pełnomocnictwa rodzajowego, co wynika z fakultatywności jej ustanowienia, swobody w zakresie określenia zakresu przypisanych dyrektorom wykonawczym uprawnień oraz ich liczby.
