Implementing artificial intelligence in forecasting the risk of personal bankruptcies in Poland and Taiwan
Authors: Korol Tomasz , Fotiadis Anestis K.
Published: July 2022

Research background: The global financial crisis from 2007 to 2012, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current war in Ukraine have dramatically increased the risk of consumer bankruptcies worldwide. All three crises negatively impact the financial situation of households due to increased interest rates, inflation rates, volatile exchange rates, and other significant macroeconomic factors. Financial difficulties may arise when the private person is unable to maintain a habitual standard of living. This means that anyone can become financially vulnerable regardless of wealth or education level. Therefore, forecasting consumer bankruptcy risk has received increasing scientific and public attention. 
Purpose of the article: This study proposes artificial intelligence solutions to address the increased importance of the personal bankruptcy phenomenon and the growing need for reliable forecasting models. The objective of this paper is to develop six models for forecasting personal bankruptcies in Poland and Taiwan with the use of three soft-computing techniques.
Methods: Six models were developed to forecast the risk of insolvency: three for Polish households and three for Taiwanese consumers, using fuzzy sets, genetic algorithms, and artificial neural networks. This research relied on four samples. Two were learning samples (one for each country), and two were testing samples, also one for each country separately. Both testing samples contain 500 bankrupt and 500 nonbankrupt households, while each learning sample consists of 100 insolvent and 100 solvent natural persons.
Findings & value added: This study presents a solution for effective bankruptcy risk forecasting by implementing both highly effective and usable methods and proposes a new type of ratios that combine the evaluated consumers? financial and demographic characteristics. The usage of such ratios also improves the versatility of the presented models, as they are not denominated in monetary value or strictly in demographic units. This would be limited to use in only one country but can be widely used in other regions of the world.

"The understanding of the mind and its relation with cognitive abilities during middle childhood is still limited. One dimension of it, the interpretive diversity understanding, represents an understanding that people can have different interpretations of the same situation due to differences in their beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge. We aim to investigate, for the first time in literature, three dimensions of advanced theory of mind (ToM): faux-pas understanding, strange stories and interpretive ToM, in relation with executive functions (working memory, inhibition and switching), in an emotional framework (anxiety symptoms) during middle childhood (9-12 years). Results revealed that the three ToM abilities did not correlate with each other, and only strange stories correlated with inhibition and switching. On the other hand, the total ToM score based on the three measures was predicted by working memory and comprehension. These results support the approach to ToM as a noncoherent construct in middle childhood, and the need for further research that looks at the subdimensions included under the executive functions and ToM umbrella. Understanding the relationship between ToM dimensions, as well their interdependence with executive functions is essential for preventing early social and cognitive difficulties during middle childhood."

"Studies examining religiosity/spirituality (R/S), gender, parental education level and psychological well-being report divergent findings, most of them being on North American populations. This research aimed to explore the relationship between R/S and psychological well-being of Romanian emerging adults. The relationship between R/S and demographical variables such as gender and parents’ educational level was investigated. We explored these relationships in a sample of Romanian emerging adults, (N=468 female, 54.2%; Mage=24; Sd=8.68), 57.9% from theological faculties of various denominations and 42,1 % non-theological. Our findings show that R/S is higher as parents’ educational level is lower, with male emerging adults being more religious than female ones and theology students being more religious than non-theology ones. Moreover, the results revealed a significant relationship between R/S and some facets of psychological well-being. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, with emphasis on the particularities relevant for the Romanian sociocultural context."

The new Curriculum for preschool education in Romania, introduced in 2019, launches a challenge for educators: the active involvement of preschoolers in the activities carried out in kindergarten, their preparation for a social life based on cooperation, communication and action. One of the recommendations of the new curriculum is to organize the learning content in an integrated way. In this context, we intended to study how pre-school teachers’ approach in an integrated way the teaching of numeration through stories, their role and importance. The data were collected using the survey method based on a questionnaire in Google Drive. The questionnaire was completed voluntarily and anonymously by 101 teachers for preschool education. Over 88% of respondents consider that stories contribute to a large or to a very large extent to learning the numeration and that preschoolers are actively involved in learning activities in which stories are used, obtaining very good mathematical performances. Almost all preschool teachers who attended the study found the use of stories in learning to be very beneficial, even if they face to some difficulties, including the lack of a collection of consacrated stories for learning numeration.

A szelf megerősítése terápiás írással. A fikció, mint eszköz
Authors: MIKOLA NYÍRI Emese
Published: July 2022

Strengthening the Self with Therapeutic Writing. Fiction as a Tool. In therapy, we can integrate in our work things that did not happen actually. This is also valid in the case of writing therapy. When a patient accepts a fictional practice, and tries to perform it, it breaks down his own self-defense mechanism more easily. Such a fictional practice could be talking with a body part or bad trait, rewriting the story of a trauma, introducing new characters, or telling the story from a different perspective. A world that does not follow the rules of reality can give an internal liberation that strengthens the self, weakened by external conditions, and heals the damaged self. That is what Celia Hunt’s book, Therapeutic Dimension of Autobiography in Creative Writing, is about, and Thompson Kate in her The Therapeutic Journal Writing. An Introduction for Professionals and James W. Pennebaker and John F. Evans in their Expressive Writing: Words That Heal also devote several chapters specifically to this topic. The most important criteria in this type of writing are to be truly authentic without any role-play. The wisdom of trauma lies in not identifying with the circumstances that make our life narrow and turning to the whole world. This is analogous to religious conversion, the search for the Kingdom of God, the childish open-minded view of the world that Jesus encouraged us to have.
A reziliens működés kompetenciáinak fejlesztési lehetőségei „a hivatásgondozó” – szupervíziós – munkában segítőknél, különösen a lelkipásztori hivatásban

Opportunities for the Development of the Competences of Resilient Operation in the Professional Care – Supervision Work – of Helpers, Especially in the Pastoral Vocation. Within the framework of this study, I present the specific resilience-enhancing role and characteristics of helpers, of a professional life path, profes-sional caregivers, and supervising work with special focus on pastoral work, and helper vocation. I examine how the pastoral vocation picture finds its place in the family of helping vocations, how it can be defined in the search for identification, how therapy, education, how professional care appear in almost every aspect of pasto-ral work, and how vocation care and super success can be adapted in pastoral work. In each chapter, my reflection covers the most important resilience issues, identity issues, the person-centered approach and related concepts. I examine the relationships and methodology of resilience and supervision within the framework of helping occupations in the process of becoming a child, and I dis-cuss how learning appears in the course of professional care along the lines of the ministry. The development of resilient competences in professional care has become important since the regime change, especially in the pastoral profession and in the intertwining of cooperation with assisting professions. Regarding the dia-logue, purity and authentic presence of helper vocations and roles, the transpar-ency and pastoral psychological approach of contexts and systems is an increas-ingly topical direction and issue. Main question: Is there sufficient insight and awareness to examine the re-spective helping vocations, the pastor's professional life path, his tired or burnt-out personality in the ministry, and his important fighting ability in the midst of crises? Are we looking for preventive ways? Is today’s pastor motivated enough to pay attention to his psychical, spiritual, physical, and social health? If so, how can these be achieved? As a researcher, as an active psychotherapist working with couples and fami-lies, as a professional/supervisor, pastor wife, active Christian pastoral and men-tal health professional, and a pastoral psychologist, I think in several dimensions and systemic perspectives. As a helper, professional care-giver/supervisor, the issue of identity is im-portant. I see spirituality as a kind of “driver” in the process, and I think it is decisive – it can be inspiring, but it can also be disincentive. Calibration is the task of the authentic helper of the time. That is, continuous reflection and self-reflection in a spiritual dimension. The goal is to mature, to fight/cope resilient-ly. The freedom to jump, the intuitive way, the path of development and learn-ing are puzzle pieces of the spiritual dimension, a space for coping and fulfil-ment. Knowing God, I know myself, and knowing myself (in humility) brings me closer to God.
Igével, tollal és tettel. Pap Béla református lelkész életpályája (1907–1957)
Authors: BALOGH Margit
Published: July 2022

By the Word, Pen, and Action. The Life and Career of Béla Pap, Pastor of the Reformed Church (1907–1957). The name of the martyred Reformed Church pastor Béla Pap has become syn-onymous with the newspaper Magyar Út (Hungarian Journey), which was a prominent forum of the national-populist writers’ movement that emerged as an unavoidable element of public life in Hungary in the 1930s. He published a number of articles that establish him as a socially sensitive intellectual thinker. He believed in creating a “national-populist” or “progressive” right wing and a modern Hungary. Anti-Semitism formed part of his ideology, but he did not foresee the consequences that eventually lead to the Holocaust. After the war, in the midst of the left’s growing dominance, he opposed the nationalization of schools and the agreement between the state and the church. He stood up for the Reformed Church’s farmer community whose members were branded as “kulaks” and for people who were displaced by the regime. His fate was sealed by his protest against the abolition of ecclesiastical autonomy. He was arrested on 27 November 1951 and sentenced to 4 years and 6 months of prison to be re-leased in the spring of 1956, but he could not return to his pastoral office. In the summer of 1957, he went on an excursion to the mountains – but was never seen again, dead or alive.
Megemlékezés dr. Fónyad Dezsőről az SDG alapításának 100. évfordulója alkalmából
Authors: BÁRÁNY Zoltán
Published: July 2022

Commemorating Dr Dezső Fónyad on the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Foundation of SDG. Dr Dezső Fónyad (1906–1965) was a Reformed pastor in Monor, publicist, and one of the spiritual leaders of the Soli Deo Gloria Reformed student movement. Between the two world wars, the Soli Deo Gloria student movement (SDG for short) was a major force in the field of faith, church identity, and national edu-cation among Reformed university and then secondary school students. In the 1930s, the nationally known youth pastor’s popularity and recognition grew dy-namically, but after World War II, amid the internal political turmoil in the country, he was prosecuted on false charges at the People’s Court. During World War II, he and his colleagues in the SDG rescued Jews, and these same colleagues testified for him at his trial by the People’s Court.
Találkozások, inspirációk és a közös szolgálat. A KALOT református kapcsolatai
Authors: PETRÁS Éva
Published: July 2022

Encounters, Inspirations, and Approaches to Social Service. The Relationship of the Catholic Youth Movement of Agricultural Workers (KALOT) with the Reformed Church. The Catholic Youth Movement of Agricultural Workers (KALOT) was estab-lished in 1935 owing to the initiatives of Jesuit father Jenő Kerkai. In a couple of years, it became the most successful Catholic corporative movement in Hungary with 500,000 members. KALOT was engaged in the Hungarian social question and struggled for an agrarian reform policy. During World War II, its members and leadership also took part in the illegal, anti-fascist resistance movement. In 1945, KALOT started its post-war reorganization, but among the new political circumstances, it fought for its survival in vain: in 1946, it was banned by the communist Ministry of the Interior. The study examines KALOT’s relationship with the exponents of the Re-formed Church and its movements. Based on archival research, a mutual cooper-ation between the denominational movements is proven, which also shows the first results of an ecumenical dialogue and practice.
A Soli Deo Gloria Református Diákszövetség Kecskeméten
Authors: RIGÓ Róbert
Published: July 2022

The Soli Deo Gloria Reformed Student Association in Kecskemét. At the beginning of my study, I show that in Kecskemét there was a very inten-sive Reformed association life in gender-, age-group-based and thematically or-ganized groups in the first half of the 20th century, the aim of the growing youth organizations being to strengthen religious education and to raise Hungarian na-tional awareness; thus, their attention turned towards the young people living on farms. Local Reformed youth organizations became more and more wide-spread, with similar organizations functioning in Budapest and Debrecen. After some preparations, the Soli Deo Gloria Reformed Student Union began operat-ing in the boys’ grammar school in the 1932/33 school year, and by the end of the decade, nearly half of the students had participated in its work. During the war, a student movement was also organized among girls in the girls’ grammar school and in the teacher training college. In my study, I present the diverse ac-tivities of the local organization of SDG in detail, which, besides self-education and community development, also tried to find solutions to the social problems of the local society.

Authors: Irzooki Raad Hoobi
Published: July 2022

In this research, a finite difference method with a relaxation technique were used in a computer program which was prepared to show the influence of changing the status of sheet piles or cutoffs on the uplift pressure under a hydraulic structures.The downstream sheet pile was used inclined to the downstream side with angle of 45°, the beginning of this pile is located before the end of the structure floor with a distance equal to the depth of this pile when it is in a vertical status. With the previous situation of the downstream pile, an upstream and a middle inclined piles were used. The angle of inclination of these two piles are (14°,26°and 45°) to the ward of upstream or downstream of the structures. By comparing all cases with the standard case, the results demonstrated that the new status of downstream pile and the upstream pile inclined with angle of 14° to the downstream side gives a greater decreasing ratio of uplift pressure under the structure floor. The decreasing ratio of the above case is equal to (21.02%). When a middle pile was used in the structure, the best case, is a structure contain an inclined upstream and middle piles with angle of 14° to the downstream side and the downstream pile in the new status. This case gives a total decreasing ratio of uplift pressure equal to (22.46%).

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Ferro-cement Slabs and Shell Roofs
Authors: Mahmood Mohamad N. , Majeed Sura A.
Published: July 2022

The present work involves developing an analytical model to study the behavior of ferro-cement slabs and shell roofs, and to adopt the most realable constitutive relationships for the mortar material to predict the nonlinear response of ferro-cement roofs by using the finite element method. To represent the mortar and wire mesh, a layered approach is used. Mortar is considered as a strain-hardening material and exhibiting strain-hardening behavior till it reaches the peak stress, beyond which, mortar enters the descending portion (strain softening) until it reaches the crushing strain. Tension stiffening is used to model the post- cracking tensile strength of the mortar. Under further loading in post-cracking stage shear retention is used to model the shear transfer throughout the cracks. The behavior of steel reinforcement and wire mesh is considered as elastic perfectly plastic with linear strain hardening. The predicted results of ferro-cement slab and cylindrical shell roofs had shown a good agreement with the published experimental results.

Published: July 2022

A study has been done on experimental investigation of the flow characteristic of water falling film in spiral tubes. The ratio of the surface film velocity to average film velocity (us/uF) is less than 1 for low angle of inclination (4-8 o) where as it increases as the angle of inclination increases reaching a value of about us/uF = 1.2 . This small value of the velocity ratio is due to the liquid film rotation in coil which causes some deletion. The film thickness (δ) experimental data correlated well bythe following equation:   δ = 0.0048 ReF0.7064 sin-1/3θ ( with R2 = 0.959 )

Published: July 2022

An experimental study on forced convection heat transfer from an embedded horizontal cylinders array in a porous medium in cross flow was carried out under constant heated cylinder surface temperature condition. The study included the effect of Peclet number, heated cylinder location in array, and the spaces between cylinders on the heat loss ability from this cylinder, as well as the enhancement in heat transfer rate due to embedding the cylinders array in a porous medium. An experimental set-up was used for this purpose which consists of a blower, air duct, test section, and heating element which is represented by a copper cylinder with a diameter of (12.7 mm) heated internally by an electrical source, which represents transfer and heat loss element through this set-up. The experiments were done at the range of spacing ratios between (1.2 ≤ S / D ≤ 2 ) for the cylinders array consisting of five embedded horizontal cylinders in a porous medium consisted of Alumina granules with a particle diameter rate of (3.938 mm) in a turbulent flow at Peclet numbers between (15 < Pe < 56 ). The study showed that the ability of heated cylinder to heat loss is a function of Peclet number, its location in array, and the spaces between cylinders. This ability is increased by increasing Peclet number, and it was shown that this ability reaches maximum value at the third cylinder in array at a spacing ratio of (S/D=1.6) and also at the fourth cylinder in array at a spacing ratio of (S/D=1.4). Also, it was shown that the heated cylinder at any location in array for almost spacing ratios, there was an increase in the heat transfer as maximum (21%) in comparison with a single embedded cylinder in a porous medium. It was noticed that the maximum enhancement value of heat transfer from a heated cylinder in cylinders array (due to embedding it in a porous medium) was nearly five times the heat that transferred from the same free cylinders array or arrangement at the same flow velocity depending on available data from preceding experimental study.

The Optimization of Machining Operations Based on Non-Quadratic Model Via Sumt
Authors: Saleh Salim A.
Published: July 2022

The need for higher production rates and lower production cost emphasized the need to increase the rate of metal removal on metal cutting machine tools. This is however, limited by the different technical and technological constraints of the machining process so that the problem has to be handled as an optimization to determining the optimum values of the machining parameters. Several optimization techniques have been developed to solve this problem such as linear and non linear programming methods. However, due to the complexity of the mathematical models and the relatively large number of constraints involved, there is no obvious solution. This paper introduces a developed algorithm and compared to one of the well known iteration method that is the Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Technique (SUMT). The comparison through an example problem shows that the developed algorithm is more efficient, accurate, as well as quicker the optimum solution.
