Written from a painfully honest perspective, Adam Lamparello discusses his past addictions, depression, anxiety, and the emptiness that arose from his lack of self-esteem. This moving memoir details the author’s struggle to gain a sense of control and empowerment through dramatic weight loss, starvation, compulsive exercise, and purging. Ultimately, however, this is a story of hope and recovery. Ten-Mile Morning was written to inspire you and affirm that life after eating disorders is one of self-acceptance, self-respect, and most of all, one where you can achieve your dreams.
Staten Island
Authors: Kramer Daniel C. , Flanagan Richard M.
Published: February 2025

Staten Island is New York City’s smallest yet fastest growing borough: a conservative, suburban community of nearly a half a million on the fringe of the nation’s most liberal, global city. Staten Island: Conservative Bastion in a Liberal City chronicles how this “forgotten borough” has grappled with its uneasy relationship with the rest of the City of New York since the 1920s. Daniel C. Kramer and Richard M. Flanagan analyze the politics behind events that have shaped the borough, such as the opening of the Verrazano Bridge and the closure of the Fresh Kills Landfill. Lost opportunities are discussed, including the failure to construct a rail link to the other boroughs of New York, to adequately plan for the explosive housing boom in recent decades and, some say, to create an independent City of Staten Island.

Unlike much of New York City, Staten Island is a place with robust party competition and lively democratic politics with hard-fought campaigns, bitter feuds, and career-ending scandals. Staten Island’s two most successful politicians of the twentieth century—Republicans John Marchi and Guy Molinari—defended the borough’s interests while defining an urban conservativism that would influence politics elsewhere. In fact, Staten Island has played a pivotal role in the winning electoral coalitions of Republican mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg and continues to spark the imaginations of New Yorkers on a scale that is disproportionate to the borough’s relatively small size.

Staten Island: Conservative Bastion in a Liberal City will allow readers to gain access to the borough-based roots of New York City’s politics. This book will be of special interest to anyone who wishes to understand the dynamics of middle-class life and democratic representation in a global city.
Almost Hollywood
Authors: Miller Blair
Published: February 2025

Blair Miller tells the story of the motion picture industry as it developed in Jacksonville after the turn of the twentieth century. Almost Hollywood reveals the meteoric rise of Jacksonville in early silent films. Home to over thirty studios employing actors, directors, and stagehands, Jacksonville became touted as the “winter film capital of the world” by 1915. A myriad of factors contributed to Jacksonville’s rise and then fall by the mid 1920s. What were the reasons why Jacksonville missed out as the next mecca for filmmaking? Blair Miller tells the story through primary sources from that remarkable period.
Destiny and Decision
Authors: Zimmerman Fred R.
Published: February 2025

In this autobiography of a Christian minister, Fred R. Zimmerman tells the story of his life on the stage of world events that affected him either directly or indirectly. Born to be a minister, he first became aware of his calling early on in his boyhood. Orphaned at eighteen months during the flu pandemic of 1918–19, he was fortunate enough to be adopted by a childless couple. In their capacity as committed church-going Christians, he was wisely nurtured in his mission to become a minister. During his college and seminary years, crises accompanying this destiny began to arise. As his ministry developed through the years, destiny and decision became the yoke (Matthew 11:27–30) under which he exercised the burden of being a pastor. This is therefore a story not primarily of a person but of a God-appointed ministry.
Jane Means Appleton Pierce
Authors: Covell Ann
Published: February 2025

When introverted Jane Appleton and charismatic Franklin Pierce first met, they fell in love immediately, despite being complete opposites. Jane’s pious family vetoed any relationship between them, and it was eight years before they finally married. Their life together was a loving though often difficult one, as frail Jane adapted to the uncertainties of political life that climaxed in ostensible deceit and tragedy just prior to Franklin’s presidency.

This book offers insight into the dynasty to which Jane belonged and profiles earlier generations, providing a wider perception of her family’s history. Through family letters and anecdotes, it details Jane’s complex life and defines the social and health features of the era. Aspects of Jane’s childhood that may have accounted for her melancholic nature and inhibitions are revealed. This book also explores the truths behind the many myths surrounding this tragic first lady.
Ingrid Bergman and Her American Relatives
Authors: Ziólkowska-Boehm Aleksandra
Published: February 2025

Internationally renowned actress Ingrid Bergman was of Swedish and German descent, though she was known by the majority as Swedish. Three times an Oscar recipient, especially known for Casablanca, Murder on the Orient Express, Gaslight, Notorious, and Anastasia, she is considered one of the greatest actresses of all time. Though she hailed from Europe, she also had relatives in the United States. Ingrid kept in close contact with her aunt Blenda, her father’s sister, as well as Blenda’s son Carl and grandson Norman. Ingrid and Norman exchanged letters and met in different locations throughout the USA, France, and England. This book chronicles her relationship with her American relatives through original letters and recollections of Ingrid’s American cousin Norman.
Dracula's Bloodline
Authors: Florescu Radu R. , Cazacu Matei
Published: February 2025

This engrossing book tells the story of the Florescu family, from its feudal blood ties, to the notorious 15th century figure Vlad Tepes (Count Dracula), right up to present day, touching on such diverse personalities as the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jackson. In the tradition of Alex Haley’s Roots, Dracula’s Bloodline relates a multi-generational saga through the prism of one family’s narrative, from medieval Eastern Europe to the post-Communist era. The book provides an inside look at Romania’s bloody and turbulent history—a mostly untold narrative that embraces the cruel Ottoman invasions, vying boyars seeking to change the political order at home, and the toppling of the Ceausescu regime. The story of each century is told through the eyes of one Florescu (or more) who had a unique perch from which to view his or her contemporary society.

Florescu and Cazacu drew on research that had mostly been kept in family hands. To track the Florescu footprint down through the centuries since the 1400s, they used many sources: the Brasov archives in Transylvania, select letters, unpublished diaries, and extensive family documents that have been scattered from Europe to the United States. This fully indexed book offers many photographs from family archives, as well as a glossary of terms and titles, and a full genealogy showing the Florescu’s family links to Vlad Tepes.

Airy Nothings
Authors: Heinegg Peter
Published: February 2025

Even as the number of unbelievers continues to rise, religion in America still gets unwarrantably good press. The tenets and teachings, however nonsensical, of each and every “community of faith” may not be attacked. Secular academics who would never be caught in a synagogue, church, or mosque seldom fail to manifest politically correct reverence for the creeds, codes, and cults of the religious. Unfortunately, the central religious concept of the “sacred” proves, upon closer inspection, to be fictitious. The understandably popular “holy” times, places, deities, peoples, books, laws, and scenarios for the afterlife are fantasies projected into everyday experience by human beings trapped in time and unwilling to accept their own transiency and long-term insignificance. This book surveys the various traditional “fortresses” of the sacred and finds them all empty and indefensible.
Invisible Student Scientists
Authors: Fisher Robert Leslie
Published: February 2025

In this book, Robert Leslie Fisher contends that thanks to misguided university and government policies, we have created a science elite that does not represent the demographics of the nation. We need to recruit more native-born women and under-represented minorities into graduate programs in order to maintain our nation’s prosperity and military strength. Fisher draws on sample data from 1300 male and female respondents from White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian students. He shows how the student culture of graduate schools in science and engineering sees women, Black, and Hispanic students as outsiders and deprives these budding scientists and research engineers of the collaborators they need to succeed in their careers. Fisher argues that we must inspire female, Black, and Hispanic graduate students to believe they can succeed in their careers by (1) changing the student culture in graduate schools’ science and engineering programs to be more inclusive, (2) removing burdensome undergraduate educational duties from graduate students so that they can concentrate on mastering the difficult subject matter of their disciplines, and (3) hiring more women and under-represented minorities as faculty to serve as role models.
A Jungle Named Academia
Authors: Inoue-Smith Yukiko
Published: February 2025

Professional ethics require continuous self-improvement of professors, through writing, reading, and learning: no less than for students. Promoting excellence in scholarship, mentoring students in their research, and effectively teaching, are vital elements in our professional and personal growth. However, any one of these could be a full-time job in itself. To excel in each role, it is essential for faculty members to reflect daily on our work.

What is the role of comparisons, in this reflection? Though our colleagues’ successes may suggest to us possibilities in our own work that we didn’t know existed, there is a danger that our neighbor’s “flowers” will always seem more beautiful than our own. We should let comparisons with others suggest new approaches to our goals, but never focus on comparing our outcomes (successes and failures) with those of other people. Instead, we should focus on steadily improving our own levels of mastery of skills in scholarship and in work with students.

In American academia, where both faculty members and students are ethnically and culturally diverse, such that we will often find our assumptions challenged, reflective thinking is even more essential than in a culturally homogeneous environment. Hence reflective, systematic approaches to daily practice in reading, teaching, and writing are powerful survival tactics, and are likely to sustain one’s vitality and productivity as a member of the academy.
The a to Z of the Lesbian Liberation Movement
Authors: Myers JoAnne
Published: February 2025

The Lesbian Liberation Movement is both a movement that encompasses liberating a sexual practice from stigmatization and a political movement challenging the dual oppression of women by the patriarchy's assumption of male supremacy and heterosexuality. Over the years, much has been written on homosexuality and the Gay Liberation Movement, yet much of the focus has been on male homosexuals, especially male homosexual activity and the politics that activity raises. The A to Z of the Lesbian Liberation Movement: Still the Rage is a comprehensive overview and resource guide for one of the most invisible social political movements: the Lesbian Liberation Movement. This book helps to make the still-active movement visible_the history, successes, setbacks, controversies, and issues. This book is a good resource for those studying this social political movement, containing a chronology, contextual overview, dictionary entries that cover persons, laws, terminology, issues, and countries, and an extensive bibliography of primary resources and current work.
Bioethics, Law, and Human Life Issues
Authors: Scarnecchia D. Brian
Published: February 2025

Bioethics, Law, and Human Life Issues: A Catholic Perspective on Marriage, Family, Contraception, Abortion, Reproductive Technology, and Death and Dying draws on the Magisterial teaching of the Catholic Church to outline a Catholic response to a host of controversial issues related to human life. Scarnecchia lays out a Catholic moral theology based on the writings of Pope John Paul II and Thomas Aquinas, and he then applies those Christian moral principles to today's most contentious ethical issues, including reproductive technology, embryo adoption, contraception, abortion, family and same-sex marriage, and euthanasia and assisted suicide. This review of Catholic moral principles brings together an in-depth consideration of the central human life issues of our day with abundant reference to the Church's social teaching and to contrasting positions of today's leading ethicists.
César Franck
Authors: Stove R. J.
Published: February 2025

César Franck (1822–1890), Belgian born and French domiciled, was one of the most remarkable composers of the 19th century. A number of his works are commonly recorded—such as his Symphony in D Minor, Symphonic Variations, Violin Sonata, and the ever-popular Panis Angelicus—and yet 38 years have elapsed since a biography of him appeared in English.

Now with César Franck: His Life and Times, R. J. Stove fills this gap in the history of late 19th-century classical music with a full-length study of the man and his music. Drawing on sources never before cited in English, Stove paints a far more detailed picture of this great musician and deeply loved man, whose influence in both his native and adopted lands was exceptional. Stove carefully delves into intimate matters of Franck’s life, including his resilience in the face of his exploitation as a child prodigy at the piano, his development from a shy and harassed piano teacher into one of the most sought-after luminaries of Paris’s Conservatoire, and the truth behind Franck’s alleged affair with one of his students.

Throughout his study, Stove interweaves panoramic surveys of the political and social scene in Belgium and France, contextualizing Franck’s achievements in his historical milieu, from his rise as a recognized master of the organ to his dealings with significant composers such as Liszt, Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Massenet, Chabrier, and others. César Franck: His Life and Times is an engagingly written biography sure to interest classical music listeners of all stripes.

Suroboyo Bus Vehicle Operating Cost Analysis
Authors: Gerika Gredy Raissa , Marleno Risma , Muhammadun Haris
Published: February 2025

Public transportation plays a vital role in supporting urban mobility and promoting sustainable economic development. One of the key challenges in public transportation is ensuring that services remain affordable to the public while operating efficiently and sustainably. Based on this background and these challenges, analyzing the Suroboyo Bus fare subsidy on operational costs is a relevant and strategic topic for research. This research aims to identify optimal subsidy policy strategies and provide recommendations for improving operational efficiency. The research uses a quantitative analysis method to calculate the operating costs of the Suroboyo Bus vehicles and the subsidy provided by the Surabaya City Government. The calculation results show that the vehicle operating cost of the Suroboyo Bus is Rp. 17,643 per kilometer, while the fare subsidy provided by the Surabaya City Government is Rp. 18,201,326,602 per year. These results indicate that the current Suroboyo Bus fare, in accordance with the Surabaya Mayor Regulation, is still more affordable than the community's ability and desire to use the Suroboyo Bus. The implications of this research suggest that the Surabaya City Government should adjust the Suroboyo Bus fare to improve services and add routes according to public demand. In addition, the use of technology in operational management will positively impact service sustainability and more effective subsidy management.
XIX. Yüzyıl Etno-Siyasi ve Etno-Kültürel Ortamında Kuzey Azerbaycan’da Edebi Süreçler
Authors: Şahbazov Tahir
Published: February 2025

XIX. yüzyılın başlarında Azerbaycan’ın Çar Rusyası tarafından işgali zemininde toplumsal-siyasi ve kültürel hayatta yaşanan değişiklikler edebiyatı da etkiledi. Ancak bu işgal, uzak geçmişin mirası olan kültürel-manevi ve edebi veraset geleneklerini tam olarak ortadan kaldıramadı. Yani, kadim ve Ortaçağda olduğu gibi, XIX. yüzyıl Azerbaycan edebiyatında da klasik şiir asıl yere sahip olmakla birlikte, üç önemli fikir-üslup yönünde-klasik (gazel), aşık şiiri ve realist satira-gelişimini sürdürmekteydi. Ortaçağ edebiyatına özgü hümanizm düşüncesi, manevi-ahlaki temizliğe çağrı, sosyal adaletsizliğe itiraz ve sevgi konusu dönemin şiiri için temel fikir-estetik besin kaynağı olarak kalmayı sürdürmekteydi. İslam dininin edebiyata ve edebi süreçlerin karakterine etkisi de güçlü bir şekilde devam etmekteydi.
Söz konusu dönem aşıklarının eserleri arasında eskimiş yasaları, din adamlarını ve beyleri eleştiren örneklerin yanı sıra, halkı birliğe ve işgale karşı mücadeleye davet eden şiirler de ortaya çıkmaktaydı.
XIX. yüzyılın 20-30’lu yıllarından itibaren gelişmeye başlayan aydınlanmacılık fikirleri yüzyılın ortalarında edebiyatta milli muhtevalı klasik dramaturjinin ortaya çıkması ile sonuçlandı ki, bunun da kurucusu ve ünlü temsilcisi Mirza Fethali Ahundovdur. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısında ise realist-satirik akım Seyid Azim Şirvani’nin timsalinde yeni bir gelişim aşamasına geçti. Bazı Azerbaycan şehirlerinde kurulan edebi meclisler ülkenin kültürel yaşamında önemli bir rol oynamaya başladı.
Son olarak XIX. yüzyılın 70’li yıllarından itibaren Azerbaycan’da gözlemlenen ekonomik ve kültürel canlanma, yeni tip okulların açılması, anadilde gazetelerin yayınlanması, profesyonel milli tiyatronun kurulması gibi unsurlar realist üslupta yazan edipler neslinin yetişmesine ve XX. yüzyılın başlarında milliyetçilik ve bağımsızlık düşüncesini tebliğ eden yeni tip edebiyatın ortaya çıkmasına zemin hazırladı.
Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant Algorithm of KCNJ11 Gene Polymorphisms in Diabetes Mellitus
Authors:   Department of Heet Education, General Directorate of Education in Anbar, Ministry of Education, Hit, Anbar 31007, Iraq., Yaseen Omar Qahtan , Majeed Hayder Abd Ulrhman ,   The University of Meshreq,College of Medical Sciences Technology.
Published: February 2025

Background: Mutations in the copper transport gene KCNJ11 cause Diabetes Mellitus, a rare inherited autosomal recessive condition of copper metabolism with hepatic and mental symptoms. The Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant (SIFT) method was used in a study to examine the possible effects of protein coding variants on function. SIFT is a computational technique that is frequently used to forecast the outcomes of missense variants, which are single nucleotide changes in the DNA sequence that lead to the replacement of one amino acid with another in the protein.
Objective: This study’s objectives include determining the degree to which gene KCNJ11 mutations contribute to the development of Diabetes Mellitus assess whether the observed variations in the KCNJ11 gene would potentially affect protein function and thus contribute to the development of genetic disease. Understanding the impact of protein structure on the SIFT results is emphasized in the paragraph.
Methods: We used the SIFT tool to analyze mutations occurring in the KCNJ11 gene because this gene is of particular interest due to its association with certain genetic diseases.
Results: According to the study’s findings, the SIFT tool identified the majority of the changes detected in the samples examined (particularly a (G>C) variance) as tolerant, this implies that these specific variants are unlikely to have a major influence on protein function and, as a result, are less likely to contribute to the development of the examined genetic disorder. The results, however, showed two variants (G>T and C>T) that SIFT categorized as intolerant in some of the sample instances. These particular alterations are likely to impact protein function and may be of relevance for future research into their relationship with the investigated hereditary disorder.
Conclusions: Overall, the work emphasizes the utility of employing the SIFT method to predict illness outcomes based on coding variants and protein function. Researcher was able to get insight into the possible influence of polymorphisms in the KCNJ11 gene on protein function and their relevance to genetic disease detection by using this computational technique.
Empowering Local Climate Actions: Insights on Environmental Devolution from Global North and Global South
Authors: Maleeha Asghar  , Muhammad Manzoor Elahi  , Dr. Fouzia Ghani
Published: February 2025

The global climate crisis has necessitated an adaptive governance framework to prioritize sustainable development. Environmental devolution is one of the adaptation-cum-mitigation strategies that transfer decision-making power over climate governance from central governments to local institutions and offers a potential roadmap to navigate climate challenges effectively. This study aims to explore the dynamics of environmental devolution by analyzing the dominant case studies from the Global North (Canada, UK, and Australia) and the Global South (India, Brazil, and South Africa), comprehending their innovative approaches towards sustainable governance. The case study approach helps to do an in-depth analysis of various devolution models across the globe and finds that the patterns of environmental devolution in the Global North often derive from constitutional and institutional frameworks, whereas in the Global South, community-based initiatives and indigenous knowledge systems (re-)shape this. The study concludes by comparing diverse cases and urges for an effective environmental devolution model to address the challenges of climate justice and contribute to sustainable governance. The findings suggest policymakers and practitioners to foster an adaptive governance framework to address the complexities of the climate crisis.
Curriculum Innovation in Practice: Strategies of Mathematics Teachers for Implementing Independent Learning in Indonesian Schools
Authors: Rahmayani Sitti
Published: February 2025

The implementation of the Independent Learning Curriculum in Indonesia presents both challenges and opportunities for teachers to create more interactive, innovative, and relevant learning experiences aligned with 21st-century needs. This study explores the managerial strategies of mathematics teachers in implementing the Independent Learning Curriculum at UPT SMA Negeri 5 Pinrang, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with four mathematics teachers selected through purposive sampling, and document analysis. The findings reveal that teachers adopted various innovative strategies, including interactive approaches, technology integration, humor in teaching, project-based learning, and diverse assessment methods to enhance student engagement. A formative assessment approach, with constructive feedback and appreciation for students' efforts, contributed to a supportive and productive learning environment. However, teachers also faced several challenges, including resource limitations, student motivation issues, and difficulties in implementing fair assessments. This study highlights the importance of combining technology, creativity, and pedagogical strategies to enhance the effectiveness of mathematics learning. These findings contribute to discussions on curriculum reform and offer practical implications for broader adoption within Indonesia’s education system.
Representation of Masculinity in Movie Captain America (The First Avenger)
Authors: Mohammad Raihan  , Dhuha Hadiyansyah
Published: February 2025

This study examines the representation of masculinity through the character of Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), focusing on his physical transformation, leadership, and self-sacrifice. Employing Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory and Janet Saltzman Chafetz’s framework of masculinity, the analysis explores how these theoretical perspectives illuminate the portrayal of masculinity in superhero narratives. The film highlights traditional masculine ideals such as physical strength, leadership, and moral integrity, while also presenting a more nuanced portrayal by integrating emotional vulnerability and intellectual capabilities into Rogers' character. The study suggests that Captain America both reflects historical gender norms and provides space for evolving conceptions of masculinity, offering new possibilities for gender representation in superhero films. This research contributes to understanding how superhero narratives shape societal perceptions of masculinity and challenges hegemonic ideals by depicting a more complex, multifaceted model of male identity.

Published: February 2025

O potencial alelopático é a capacidade de uma planta interferir no metabolismo de outra, estimulando ou inibindo o seu desenvolvimento. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a influência alelopática de extratos aquosos de folhas frescas e secas de Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan (angico-de-caroço). Foram preparados extratos nas concentrações 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%, em quadruplicata, com 25 sementes semeadas em caixas gerbox exposta ao extrato de A. colubrina. O efeito alelopático das folhas foi significativamente elevado e a partir da concentração de 25% do extrato, em ambos os tipos de folhas (fresca e seca). A porcentagem de germinação (PG), o índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG) e a velocidade de germinação (VG) dos bioensaios foram alteradas em todas as concentrações de ambos os extratos, no entanto, nos bioensaios submetidos aos extratos de folhas frescas percebeu-se uma alteração mais acentuada. Tratamentos a 100% de extrato inibiram totalmente o processo germinativo das sementes em ambas as condições. Dessa forma, A. colubrina possui atividade alelopática em suas folhas, podendo dificultar o estabelecimento de algumas espécies em seu entorno e favorecer a sua dominância em determinadas regiões. Seu extrato merece a realização de novos testes visando o desenvolvimento de possíveis produtos naturais para o controle de plantas invasoras.
EGZEMPLARNA (PARADIGMATSKA) NASTAVA

Učenike treba osposobiti da uče brzo, efikasno, racionalno i samostalno. Potrebno ih je naučiti kako da uče, osposobiti za samostalan rad, za pronalaţenje, izbor, obradu i upotrebu informacija. Ovo traţi nove oblike rada koje će kod učenika razvijati potrebu za učenjem, podsticati intrinzičnu motivaciju, stvaralaštvo i druge neophodne preduvjete za izgradnju učenikova stava prema vlastitoj efikasnosti. U novim oblicima rada kao što je egzemplarna nastava stvaralački zahtjevi i nastava orijentisani su na učenike. Ovdje se od učenika traţi da informacije grupišu, kritički prerade te interpretiraju i anticipiraju nove posljedice. Putem novih strategija se na nov način promišlja kurikulum i zato ga treba promatrati kao stil rada, nastavnu strategiju i načine interackijskih i komunikacijskih odnosa. Jedan od modela intenziviranja i racionaliziranja rada učenika u nastavi je egzemplarna nastava. Riječ egzemplar (exemplar) potiče od latinske riječi i znači primjer, primjerak, uzorak, dok je riječ egzemplar izvedena od ove imenice i znači primjeran, uzoran primjer rada. Sama pojava egzemplarne nastave imala je za cilj prevazići slabosti tradicionalne nastave.

Digitalno obrazovanje (e- learning) posmatra se kao infrastruktura, koja poslediĉno postaje jedna od modela pouĉavanja uĉenika, studenata i odraslih. S  obzirom na ĉinjenicu  da je u poslednjih nekoliko godina fenomen digitalnog uĉenja postao multidisciplinarni predmet prouĉavanja raznih nauĉnih podruĉja (jer ulazi u domen društvenih i prirodnih nauka), rad će u prvom delu pokušati dati temelj za upoznavanje terminologije problema, uz kratki prikaz istorijskog razvoja (od dopisnog obrazovanja do digitalnog obrazovanja), a u drugom delu prikazaće se model digitalnog uĉenja i pouĉavanja.
U radu se iznose nalazi o razvoju uĉenja na daljinu, vaţnosti modela programirane nastave,  te pojmovno odreĊenje digitalno obrazovanja i digitalno uĉenja koji se veţu za hibridni model uĉenja (uz koji se veţe motivacija, mentalna kondicija i iskustva korisnika). Razmatraju se neki od alata za digitalno uĉenje i pouĉavanje (video-konferencija, forumi, društvene mreţe i drugi), kao i njihove prednosti i nedostaci. Rad nastoji dati okvirni prikaz prelaska s tradicionalnog (korespondentnog) uĉenja na digitalno uĉenje, te ne opisuje detaljno svaki od aspekata digitalnog uĉenja, već mogućnost prelaza s analognog na digitalno uĉenje. Alat za digitalno uĉenje (eng. courseware tool) jeste raĉunarski program (eng. software) dizajniran iskljuĉivo za edukaciju. Izraz u sebi sadrţi dva pojma: course (teĉaj) i software. Alat moţe biti u obliku CD- ROM-a, web stranice, diskete, digitalnog udţbenika, programa za uĉenje i sl. Courseware alati omogućuju uĉenje i pouĉavanje na daljinu pomoću odreĊenih konfiguracija sistema. Danas se koriste dve konfiguracije: LCMS (eng. Learning Content Management System) i LMS (eng.

Published: February 2025

Uĉenje kriminalistike podrazumeva i osvrt na istorijski razvoj ove nauke, te svakako i na temelje koje su postavili pioniri, odnosno preteĉe kriminalistike. Kriminalistika se kao nauka i praksa razvija i opstaje, upravo zahvaljujući autoritetima  poznatih svetskih kriminalista,  ali i  velikih imena  sa  ovih naših prostora, koji su svojim nauĉnim i struĉnim delovanjem dali nemerljiv doprinos razvoju kriminalistike kao nauke i prakse.
Autor se u ovom radu opredelio za prezentovanje biografskih i nauĉnih podataka o liku i delu prof. dr Vladimira Krivokapića, kriminaliste, velikana ĉijim utabanim stazama u oblasti kriminalistike današnje generacije ponosno hodaju. Doprinos prof. dr Vladimira Krivokapića razvoju kriminalistike u nauĉnom i praktiĉnom smislu je ogroman. Svojim nauĉnim delovanjem i praksom u kriminalistici, profesor je ostavio peĉat vremena koji traje i njegovo ime ne moţe da ode u zaborav ni kod generacija budućih kriminalista.
METODE, FAZE I NAĈIN DONOŠENJA ODLUKA O FINANCIRANJU PREDUZEĆA IZ BUDŢETSKIH SREDSTAVA
Authors: Čović Esad
Published: February 2025

Predmet istraţivanja je razvoj lokalne samouprave i njena uloga u razvijanju malih i srednjih preduzeća u Bosni i Hercegovini. Za novonastale zemlje kakva je Bosna i Hercegovina ovakav vid prestavlja mnoge poteškoće koje se moraju u privrednom razvoju i plasmanu boriti za nova trţišta, dok odreĎene meĎunarodne institucije vladaju kapitalom i utječu na razvoj novih produkcionih saradnji. Mala i srednja preduzeća u Bosni i Hercegovini nisu imuna na vanjske udare koji dolaze globalizacijom, pa se to ukazuje kao neophodnost definisanja njihove razvojne strategije. Indikativno je da pojedine evropske, pa i svjetske privredne organizacije koje utječu na razvoj preduzeća zemalja u tranziciji kakva je Bosna i Hercegovine, kao na primjer MMF i Svjetska banka imaju potpuno različite pristupe u pogledu osnovnog koncepta razvoja, tako je MMF odredio pravilo za sve zemlje u tranziciji po kojem se moraju ravnati sve zemlje iz različitih djelova Evrope i svijeta.
Treba pomenuti da se za revitalizaciju preduzeća u krizi stvori ambijent u drţavnom sistemu, a onda studiozno izradi pravac razvoja, uključujući i zahtjeve koji dolaze sa samog trţišta, što indikativno govori da je trţište glavni regulator na relaciji ponuda i potraţnja, pri čemu se moraju u obzir uzeti najniţi troškovi sirovine proizvodnje i plasmana. Zbog navedenog i realnih pretpostavki o racionalnoj realizaciji kod donošenja odluka o budţetskom financiranju za razvoj i ulaganje u preduzeća, moraju se donijeti jasni planovi kod donošenja odluka.
SIMULACIJA SIMULTANOG PRENOSA KOLIČINE KRETANJA, TOPLOTE I MASE PRIMENJENA NA JEDNU KAPLJICU
Authors: Škobalj Dragan
Published: February 2025

Kombinovani prenos količine kretanja, toplote i mase na kapljici javlja se u velikom broju tehničkih procesa kao što su: sušenje mlaza, hlaĎenje mlaza, kristalizacija mlaza, ciklonsko isparavanje, sagorevanje tečnog goriva, mlaz ili prostor ispune rashladnog tornja i vodeni mlaz ispod ispune rashladnog tornja, komora za kondicioniranje vazduha, direktnim kontaktnim kondenzatorima u termoelektranama.
Uprkos činjenici da su se ove operacije koristile pre 5000 godina (evaporativno hlaĎenje) i relativno mlaĎi proces kao što je sagorevanje tečnog goriva koje je staro 120 godina, provoĎena su intenzivna istraţivanja u zadnjih nekoliko decenija na ovom polju. Čak i jednostavni problem jedne kapljice uključuje ova tri transportna fenomena i daleko je od razrešenja i detaljnog razumevanja za kompletnu oblast varijabli od praktičnog interesa.
Os indícios formais e o problema da morte
Authors: Torres Machado Jorge Antonio
Published: February 2025

Os indícios formais representam para a fenomenologia heideggeriana a possibilidade da construção conceitual pela facticidade do Dasein. Só com base neles podemos compreender conceitos presentes em Ser e tempo como o de ser-para-a-morte. O presente artigo explora a construção e abrangência desse conceito contrastando-o com as formas cotidianas de lidar com o fenômeno do morrer.
Palavras-chave: Heidegger, fenomenologia, indício formal, ser-para-a-morte.
Hermenêutica filosófica: entre Heidegger e Gadamer!
Authors: Rohden Luiz
Published: February 2025

Refletiremos neste artigo sobre temas e questões filosóficas relativas à concepção de hermenêutica da facticidade cunhada por Heidegger e de hermenêutica filosófica desenvolvida por Gadamer. Além de explorar alguns fios comuns que tecem o projeto filosófico de ambos, propusemo-nos aprofundar as idiossincrasias da hermenêutica filosófica com o escopo de assinalar algumas rupturas relativas à filosofia heideggeriana. Contudo, como objetivo último, visamos fundamentar a tese de que a hermenêutica se alimenta e se justifica plenamente do tensionamento dialético-dialógico entre as duas perspectivas abordadas, segundo o pressuposto de que uma possui como horizonte de fundo a metafísica e a outra a filosofia prática nos moldes propostos pelo estagirita.

Superação da metafísica, realidade técnica e espanto
Authors: Lyra Edgar
Published: February 2025

Trata-se da difícil questão do sentido em que, a partir de Heidegger, pode ser pensada uma superação da metafísica. O pano de fundo é a atualidade e a onipresença do seu acabamento técnico. A preocupação central é o problema do possível modo de ser - ou de sobreviver - de um pensamento que, imerso nessa onipresença, seja, ainda assim, capaz de interrogá-la. Questões como a do salto (Sprung) e da reviravolta (Kehre) revelam a espécie de contorcionismo envolvido nessa noção de superação, levando a refletir, entre outras coisas, sobre a relação desse pensamento com a sua história. O desfecho é a identificação de um campo de preocupações no qual um pensamento posto diante da própria possibilidade de aniquilação coloca a si mesmo o problema hermenêutico de uma lúcida práxis pensante.
Palavras-chave:Heidegger, Metafísica, Técnica, Hermenêutica, Amor, Superação, Espanto.
Heidegger e a possibilidade de uma antropologia existencial
Authors: Duarte André
Published: February 2025

A presente investigação pretende discutir alguns aspectos da reflexão heideggeriana sobre a ciência, abordando tanto as suas análises pertencentes ao período do projeto da ontologia fundamental, apresentadas em Ser e tempo, quanto alguns aspectos das suas reflexões tardias, em que o filósofo pensou a possibilidade de uma antropologia filosoficamente fundada, nos Seminários de Zollikon. A hipótese que orienta esta investigação é a de que, a despeito das importantes transformações pelas quais passou o pensamento de Heidegger após a Kehre, o traço que confere continuidade à sua reflexão sobre a ciência é a persistência de uma análise desconstrutiva dos seus pressupostos ontológicos, por meio da qual o primado moderno concedido às ciências é subvertido pela contínua submissão da ciência à reflexão filosófica, isto é, ontológica. Dessa postura coerente e persistente, resultam tanto a crítica aos perigos de uma atitude objetivadora e coisificadora do humano por parte das ciências, quanto o vislumbre da possibilidade de uma ciência ôntica do humano existencialmente fundada.

Capítulo 10: Factores que inﬂuyen en la motivación: hacia la investigación cientíﬁca en el contexto de la formación militar
Authors:   Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, Quinga Suárez César Julio
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo se enfoca en los factores que influyen en la motivación hacia la investigación científica en el contexto de la formación militar, este ámbito considera como eje fundamental y clave del proceso académico de la investigación científica de los uniformados, lo que permitirá desarrollar habilidades cognitivas, analíticas para promover la innovación y desarrollo para la toma de decisiones en el proceso militar en todos los ambientes en los que se emplearán como futuros oficiales de las Fuerzas Armadas, considerando que este aspecto de investigación no termina en el proceso educativo de formación, sino continúan en el perfeccionamiento, especialización y capacitación, durante toda la carrera profesional que en promedio permanecen en la institución 38 años. La investigación científica como parte de los estudios en los diferentes procesos educativos, los alumnos militares presentan una problemática como: jerarquización militar, dinámica del régimen interno de formación, fatiga, estrés y desmotivación, tiempo que prohíbe la participación activa en los proyectos de investigación, así mismo presenta factores intrínsecos como: curiosidad intelectual, autoeficacia y factores extrínsecos como: apoyo académico, oportunidades de desarrollo profesional, condiciones que estimula la participación entre otros aspectos. El objetivo principal es la revisión de un análisis teórico, literaria y aplicación de una metodología cualitativa que permita identificar las barreras que limitan el desarrollo del proceso de investigación científica en la formación militar. Para finalizar el artículo propone estrategias para impulsar una cultura de investigación, como la integración de la investigación en el currículo académico, fortalecer la resiliencia psicológica e incluir el apoyo institucional.
Pokyčius patiriančių socialinių darbuotojų emocinės reakcijos ir elgsenos modeliai sprendžiant konfliktus
Authors: Kiaunytė Asta , Ruškus Jonas
Published: February 2025

Straipsnyje analizuojamas socialinio darbo kompleksiškumas. Analizės tikslas – atskleisti santykį tarp socialinių darbuotojų elgsenos sprendžiant konfliktus ir emocinių reakcijų patiriant pokyčius. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad nepastovus, mobilus, rizikingas socialinis darbas lemia daugialypes emocines reakcijas. Profesiniai konfliktai ir pokyčiai gali tapti teigiamų emocinių reakcijų šaltiniu ir organizacijos vystymosi motyvu. Lygiaverčiai ir atviri profesiniai santykiai, net ir esant pokyčiams bei konfliktams, gali determinuoti socialinio darbuotojo energiją, kūrybiškumą, entuziazmą. Organizacinė kultūra nulems, ar darbuotojai išnaudos kompleksinius profesinius iššūkius savo profesinio tapatumo stiprinimui ir profesinės veiklos tobulinimui, ar, priešingai, jų vengs ir taip skatins profesinį susvetimėjimą. Socialinis darbuotojas, spręsdamas daugiaplanes socialines problemas, susiduria su organizaciniais kompleksiniais pokyčių, konfliktų ir emocinių reakcijų iššūkiais, todėl yra būtinas socialinio darbuotojo reflektyvumą skatinantis ir palaikantis organizacinis klimatas ir supervizija kaip profesionali pagalba.
