Authors: Codreanu Oana , Repida Tatiana
Published: December 2024

The didactic game has become an essential component in the early education process, representing an interactive and effective method for preparing children for school. A game is not only an enjoyable and fun activity for children, but also a powerful means by which they can develop the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in school and in life. Through playing, children can explore their curiosity, make independent discoveries, and actively learn without feeling pressured or obligated. This approach to learning helps children develop a sense of pleasure and satisfaction associated with learning, which can help maintain motivation and interest in school in the future. This article explores the crucial role that didactic games play in developing children’s cognitive, social and emotional skills, preparing them for academic success and integration into the school environment. Through the diversity of didactic games, children are exposed to pleasant and stimulating educational experiences that encourage them to explore, learn and develop in a holistic way.

Authors: Onica Vasile , Ciorba Constantin
Published: December 2024

The diversity of tools used in the educational process considerably increases the interest of primary school pupils and makes the physical education lesson much more attractive, especially when it is conducted in the form of a game. Oina is a very complex sports game and the use of specific elements of this game in the formation of students’ skills is relevant. The arguments are based on the analysis of the results of the scientific research carried out at two high schools in Chisinau with the participation of fourth-grade students. The physical education tools proposed in the experimental group’s research highlighted some motor qualities that can be developed in the primary school pupils. With the help of some physical exercises specific to the Oina game of that were practiced during a year of studies, the indices for throwing the Oina ball into the target, hitting the Oina ball accurately, and hitting the Oina ball at a distance improved considerably.
Knowledge in the structure of curricular modules in the discipline university physical education: formative functions
Authors: Udroiu Marian , Bragarenco Nicolae
Published: December 2024

It is well known the role of knowledge for learning motor actions, but also the application of knowledge gained in the independent practice of sports in everyday life. Knowledge, in fact, substantiates practical contents in physical education and sports activity. In this context, it is obvious that the small number of hours allocated to the subject of university physical education during a semester, the voluminous and complex contents cannot fully ensure the formation of knowledge specific to the sport test studied (especially when this sport was not studied in school). Thus, teachers are forced to resort to some methods less specific to the subject, and especially ICT tools. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to streamline the educational process in the discipline of university physical education by intensifying the formation of specific knowledge within the modules / sports tests by applying ICT tools. The pedagogical model developed by us for the formation of knowledge in university physical education lessons was applied to first-year students, who opted to study the badminton module, and the results are reflected in this work.

Authors: Toma Mihaela
Published: December 2024

In this article, the roles of the teaching staff in mass education institutions, from the primary level, to facilitate the process of inclusion of students with special educational needs are addressed. These roles are analyzed both individually and from the perspective of the classroom teacher’s teamwork with other specialists involved in the inclusion process of students with special educational needs, but also in partnership with their families. Conceptual aspects are presented regarding the roles of the teaching staff in an inclusive context, to ensure a quality education, adapted and individualized, in relation to the needs, type and degree of disability, psycho-individual and cognitive characteristics of students with special educational needs, taking account of the discrepancy between chronological and mental age, which requires inclusion in mainstream education classes, being schooled alongside typical students, as well as concrete examples from their own scientific research.

Authors: Doten Natalia
Published: December 2024

This article explores psychological interventions in the care of people diagnosed with epilepsy. The paper includes a literature review of the types of psychological interventions and the most effective psychotherapeutic interventions used in epilepsy centres. The focus is on identifying the most effective current methods, techniques, and psychological interventions for improving cognitive, affective, and behavioural processes in subjects with epilepsy. The article reveals the complexity of psychological interventions at the cognitive level which include compensatory strategies in cognitive rehabilitation (memory, attention, and language), psychological strategies at the affective level and psychological techniques at the behavioural level. Thus, we believe that psychological interventions can contribute to increased emotional stability, increased self-confidence, increased compliance with medication, increased trust in medical professionals, openness to society - all of which contribute to increased quality of life for people with epilepsy.

Authors: Pajnič Manca , Pađen Ljubiša , Krek Judita , Vlaisavljević Željko , Kralj-Iglič Veronika
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Negative attitudes and insufficient motivation to study can contribute to poor outcomes when teaching biophysics. Fear of failure can be alleviated by using invigilated exams. The aim of this study was to investigate whether invigilated exams impact students' self-reported effort to study, their attitudes, and the factors that promote academic performance. Methods: A single-group post-test quasi-experimental study was conducted to explore the attitudes of a sample population. Data was collected using a questionnaire specifically developed for this study. The sample consisted of 472 students from four consecutive academic years (generations). Descriptive statistical methods were applied for data analysis, and average values were compared using the Student's t-test. Results: Over 80% of students in the first generation reported a high level of fear of failure. After the introduction of new examination methods, this number decreased significantly by more than 20% (p < 0.001, P = 1). Concurrently, the time spent studying increased by over 40% (p = 0.006, P = 88). Furthermore, nearly all students (99%) believed that using information and communication technology (ICT) and social networks enhanced their academic success. Conclusion: The findings indicate that information and communication technology have a positive, though limited, effect on students' motivation to learn biophysics and their attitudes toward the subject.
Technological advances in rockfall protection in open pits high speed impacts with spin
Authors: Luis-Fonseca Roberto , Wagner Dane , Boričević Marko
Published: December 2024

In surface mining operations rockfall is an ever-present hazard to personal, equipment, and infrastructure. Mitigation of rockfall hazards typically includes geotechnical design of catch benches or berms based on empirically determined widths and sizes. Alternatives, rockfall barriers, are available to reduce the required footprint needed for these traditional measures. For years protection systems have been designed and tested, since 2001 [FOEN, Switzerland] guidelines have been in place to regulate the design and increase the solution safety. Today, rockfall protection systems up to 10MJ of MEL capacity are manufactured. In open-pit mining, there are special conditions that current standardized systems do not meet. As a result of the mining activity, blocks of not very large dimensions may fall, but they are generated from the highest parts of the cut, reaching velocities of up to 45m/s, with an important angular component. This paper provides the background of previous Flycatcher barrier installations, design improvements, and full-scale field-testing results. Multiple full-scale field-testing is occurring in the western US in partnership with the United States National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and University of Arizona's Geotechnical Center of Excellence (GCE). Design improvements to the flycatcher barrier are focused on providing performance, limiting impacts on operations, and safer installation. Providing operations, a quick rockfall reduction response. At the same time increasing access to existing highwalls and decreasing road widths, while protecting exposed workers and equipment with efficiency and reduced cost. As mining advances and operations pivot, the Flycatcher will allow for increased tons, efficiency, and safety during mining operations.
Mn content as a marker of transgressive events: An example of some Balkan bauxites, Babušnica site
Authors: Spahić Darko , Tančić Pavle , Poznanović-Spahić Maja
Published: December 2024

Our novel research on Mn content as markers of transgressive events/eustatic changes in marine carbonate environments not only provides a fresh perspective on the development of the Tethyan Ocean and its branches, "Alpine Tethys", as a key area of study in our field, but also offers practical applications. Namely, Mn deposits, often formed in deep to middle-depth marine environments associated with regional extension, are vital in numerous Mesozoic Tethys-related oceans spreading across the Balkans. The Mn role is vital, especially in indicating hitherto undocumented principal stages of eustatic changes essential for following ancient paleooceanic developments. This research significantly deepens our understanding of the Tethys Ocean s.l., particularly the underexplored southern realm of Alpine Tethys (southeastern Serbia). It contributes to the broader paleoceanography and tectonics, with potential implications for future studies and applications in field mapping.

Authors: Čolaković Violeta , Čanović Vladan , Anđelković Veselin
Published: December 2024

Inadequate waste management is one of the biggest environmental problems. This conclusion is derived from numerous analyses of the environmental situation in the territory of the Republic of Serbia that have been done in recent years. One of the responses of the state of Serbia to such a situation is the adoption of the Law on Waste Management and other "environmental" laws and bylaws. Waste management is an environmental problem that requires priority resolution and is considered one of the most demanding areas in terms of compliance with EU standards. On the territory of the City of Vranje, a major ecological problem is represented by the complex of the abandoned landfill "Donje Vranje", where industrial and municipal waste was disposed of in the period from 1962 to 2002. The complex of the abandoned landfill is located 3 km from the center of Vranje and directly in the aluvion of the City River. In order to strategically and timely integration and harmonization with the Action Plan for the implementation of the Regional Waste Management Plan and the construction of the Regional Non-Hazardous Waste Management Center "METERIS VRANJE", the preparation of project and technical documentation is required. The purpose of all these activities is the rehabilitation and remediation of the complex of the abandoned landfill "Donje Vranje" with the consideration of the possibility of relocation of all waste after partial separation to the Regional Center.
Exploring how generative AI contributes to the motivated engagement and learning production of science-oriented students
Authors: Gervacio Aina P.
Published: December 2024

Generative AI is transforming the educational landscape by offering new ways for students and educators to engage in personalized, adaptive learning. Unlike traditional tools, generative AI enables students to access a vast repository of information, interact with content in real-time, and generate responses, which collectively support individualized learning pathways. This study explored the role of generative AI, particularly ChatGPT, in students’ self-directed learning (SDL) process. College students (n=15) from science-oriented programs were purposively sampled to be interviewed. Findings revealed that students used AI to enhance efficiency in completing tasks, generate content, and engage in deeper learning experiences. Students reported that AI tools, such as ChatGPT, helped break down complex subjects, provided instant feedback, and allowed them to manage learning at their own pace. These features supported autonomy, motivation, and competence, core components of SDL, by enabling students to make independent learning choices and confidently tackle challenging content. Student narratives illustrated how generative AI aided in organizing study material, understanding science topics, and even learning to troubleshoot code, which supported mastery of complex science program skills. The findings also suggested that AI tools contributed to active learning, as students engaged more meaningfully with content, enhancing their analytical and problem-solving abilities. The integration of generative AI in education may shape future pedagogical approaches, enabling educators to promote personalized and adaptive learning environments that support students' intrinsic motivation, SDL, and critical thinking.

The article is devoted to the tendencies of spreading criminal subculture as a unique social phenomenon in the Republic of Armenia. Criminal subculture as a social phenomenon in the Republic of Armenia has a long history, during which, having undergone certain changes, it continues to exist and still does not give up its position. Having studied various domestic and international socio-legal studies on the existence of criminal subculture in the Republic of Armenia, we came to the conclusion that criminal subculture in the Republic of Armenia is widespread in various strata of society, including among persons deprived of liberty in penitentiary institutions, among minors, in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.

As a result, we have found that the influence of criminal subculture on the society of the Republic of Armenia, the diversity and prevalence of its manifestations testify to the high degree of danger of manifestations of criminal subculture. In such conditions, without criminal law instruments, we think it would not be effective to fight the discussed subculture exclusively by other legal means (for example, by applying administrative penalties within the framework of administrative law, confiscation of property of illegal origin within the framework of civil law, use of penalties within the framework of law enforcement rights). Therefore, criminal law tools are an important guarantee of an effective legal fight against criminal subculture.

The article discusses issues related to the characteristics of subjective signs of organizing illegal migration. It is noted that the subject of the crime under Art. 470 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, any sane person who has reached the age of 16 years. In addition, it is emphasized that, in accordance with the provisions of the current criminal legislation of the Republic of Armenia, when committing this crime, the question of criminal liability of legal entities may also arise.

Within the framework of the study, special attention is also paid to the subjective side of the organization of illegal migration. In this regard, it is noted that this crime is characterized by direct intent and selfish purpose.

The author also draws special attention to the fact that in the RA Criminal Code, the legislator uses different terminology to denote the meaning of “self-interest,” which is unacceptable. In this regard, it is proposed to provide for the committing of an act out of selfishness or other personal or group interest as a mandatory feature of the subjective side of the organization of illegal migration.

Published: December 2024

The use of indecent images of children (IIOC) is of continued concern and growing prevalence. A multi-agency approach to this online crime is necessary, as it cannot be eradicated by law enforcement alone. Previous research has examined the pathways to offending for this population, and prevention strategies that could be used to deter offending in the first instance, or to stop behaviour once it has begun. The current qualitative study aimed to explore acceptability of a prevention initiative; a self-help focussed service (a website and calls with a professional). Semi-structured interviews with eight individuals who had accessed IIOC and engaged in this self-help focussed service were conducted. Transcripts were analysed using qualitative framework approach, using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA) domains as deductive codes. All seven domains of the TFA were identified in the transcripts, indicating the applicability of the framework. Overall, participants reported mixed acceptability of and satisfaction with the self-help programme and calls with practitioners, but high perceived effectiveness in the service supporting them stop their illegal behaviours. The implications of the study are considered in line with improvements that could be made to this existing self-help prevention initiative.

Debido a la variabilidad e intermitencia de la generación solar, la creciente integración de sistemas fotovoltaicos en las redes eléctricas presenta desafíos significativos para la estabilidad del voltaje. El objetivo principal fue evaluar críticamente los desafíos y soluciones relacionadas con la estabilidad tensión en las redes eléctricas con la integración de los sistemas fotovoltaicos. Se utilizó la metodología cualitativa, enfocada en una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva de investigaciones publicadas en los últimos cinco años. Los resultados sugieren que la integración de sistemas fotovoltaicos a gran escala en redes de transmisión puede provocar variaciones de tensión y dificultades de estabilidad transitoria, mientras que, en redes de distribución, la progresiva integración de estos. puede inducir flujos de potencia inverso, sobrevoltajes y subvoltajes en las redes que componen el sistema. Las soluciones propuestas incluyen la implementación de tecnologías como controladores avanzados STATCOM y SVC, así como estrategias de control dinámico de potencia reactiva para reducir estos desafíos. Las conclusiones destacan la necesidad de tecnologías avanzadas y estrategias de control para mantener la estabilidad del voltaje y asegurar una integración eficiente de la energía fotovoltaica en redes eléctricas, garantizando de esta manera la sostenibilidad y confiabilidad del sistema eléctrico.

Published: December 2024

El estudio explora como la ejecución de problemas matemáticos puede contribuir a mejorar el pensamiento crítico en estudiantes de nivel educativo medio y superior, se utilizó la metodología cualitativa, se realizaron observaciones en el aula, entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de portafolios para comprender las habilidades utilizadas por los estudiantes al solucionar problemas matemáticos. Los aspectos valorados incluyen la deducción crítica, formulación de hipótesis y la toma de resoluciones. Los hallazgos revelan que únicamente el 22% de los estudiantes lograron cumplir con un análisis crítico adecuado, mientras que ninguno pudo formular hipótesis coherentes o tomar decisiones informadas. Esto sugiere una deficiencia significativa en la capacidad de aplicar estos conceptos, lo que podría estar relacionado con un enfoque pedagógico que prioriza la memorización sobre la compresión conceptual y la aplicación práctica de los conocimientos matemáticos. La investigación concluye que es necesario implementar metodologías que fomenten el análisis profundo y la reflexión crítica en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas, estas no solo mejorarían el rendimiento académico, sino que además prepararían de manera más efectiva a los estudiantes para afrontar los retos de un modo en constante evolución y con un creciente enfoque tecnológico.
