Exploring the Potential of Probiotics as Biocontrol Agent
Authors: Sharma Shweta , Parveen Suphiya , Singh Jaspreet
Published: June 2023

Threats from pathogenic microbes could affect the food and agricultural sectors. Pathogenic bacteria have the ability to contaminate food at any stage of the production process. Conventional techniques are frequently employed as microbial control measures, including those utilizing antibiotics, disinfectants, and physical procedures. Many nations have passed rules and regulations banning their usage due to the drawbacks of these technologies, including the formation of resistance, low effectiveness, high expense, and negative impacts on food, health, and the environment. An affordable, ecologically friendly alternative strategy is urgently required to solve these issues. When ingested in sufficient proportions, probiotics are live bacteria that protect the host against pathogens and provide nutritional advantages. Probiotic use in animals reduces zoonotic infections in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of animals, preventing the spread of these pathogens through food, according to the food microbiology perspective. In order to improve food safety and healthcare, probiotics have been suggested as an alternative antibacterial method of protection against harmful microbes. With a accentuate the meals and agricultural (livestock and aquaculture sectors) areas, we cover probiotics, their criterion for choosing, their modes of activity, and potential as alternative biocontrol agents in this review
Big Data and Different Subspace Clustering Approaches: From social media promotion to genome mapping
Authors: Veparala Vijaya Kishore , Kalpana Vattikunta
Published: June 2023

In the present age of information technology, information is the most important factor in determining how different paradigms will progress. This information needs to be mined out of a massive computer treasure trove. The rise in the amount of data been analyzed and interpreted is a direct result of the proliferation of more powerful processing platforms, the increase in the amount of storage space available, and the transition toward the use of electronic platforms. A thorough study of Big Data, its characteristics, and the role that Subspace clustering algorithm plays is described in this work. The most important contribution that this paper makes is that it reads a lot of previous research and then makes a thorough presentation about the different ways that other authors have classified subspace clustering methods. In addition, significant algorithms that are capable of acting as a benchmark for any future development have been provided with a short explanation
Human Capital and Performance Management in the Albanian Public Organizations
Authors: Kraja Gentiana , Spahija Suela
Published: June 2023

Developing an effective, competent and forward-looking public service as well as strong but lean state institutions is one of the greatest challenges nations around the world face today. Researchers as well as governors have highlighted the central role of the human capital in the public services offer. Organization scientists have long considered human capital as a strategic asset that contributes to organizational effectiveness. Whereas the strategic importance of human capital has been widely studied in the case of for-profit organizations, measurement difficulties and the role of human capital in the public sector have received little attention. In a democratic, civil, postmodern society, one of the main tasks is the development of systems for managing the efficiency of human capital in the context of public administration, as a means of obtaining higher levels of labor productivity. Actually, it should be acknowledged that orienting the performance management system to support the attraction of new human potential in public administration at all levels can better achieve this efficiency in the utilization of human resources. In this context, a new approach to the human capital management process is being actualized, which includes employee engagement and key factors of employee engagement at every stage. Albania public administration organizations suffer a lack of flexibility in using the human capital management instruments in favor of a better individual and organizational performance because of the rigid legal framework under which it functions. On the other hand, the special character of the public administration organizations and the public services note the added value of the role of the public administrator. This study tends to bridge this gap on the literature on the importance of the human capital and its impact on the performance of the public organizations as well as to practically evaluate the influence of the human capital on the perceived performance of the Albanian public organizations.

Authors: ALLKOJA Brikena , ALIKAJ Valbona
Published: June 2023

Introduction:Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder that is found in approximately 5% of the school – age population worldwide [56]. From the first description of the ADHD like behaviors in 1775, [15] conceptualizations of the disorder have evolved greatly over time, reflecting the developments on different field of research. Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe briefly the evolution of the concept of ADHD focusing on today conceptualization of the disorder from the perspective of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) [7]. Method: Review of scientific articles (written in English language) from MEDLINE, PSYCHINFO, for the period 1900 – 2018. Results: Overall, the clinical descriptions have remained remarkably consistent in their essential features over the past century and longer. Research employing factor analysis has repeatedly identified two distinct yet substantially correlated behavioral dimensions underlying the various behavioral symptomsthought to characterize ADHD demonstrating stability over time [72]. Instability of subtypes of DSM-IV, along with shortcomings identified for developmentally appropriate presentation and symptom cut-off, age of diagnosis and demonstrated impairment fueled the refinement of diagnostic criteria for ADHD in DSM-5. Conclusion: The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria represent the best consensusof experts in the field. Nevertheless, the criteria have not escaped controversy and are not without limitations. Research must focus at identifying more heterogeneous traits of the disorder.

Walking on Tightropes: The Idiosyncrasies of Albania-China Relations
Authors: Kalemaj Ilir
Published: June 2023

It has been quite some time since the re-emergence of the Socialist Republic of China as one of key political and trade key partners for the former Eastern European countries. As matter of fact, China for some time has been very influential worldwide through the Belt and Road Initiative, in the Southeastern Europe through its 16+1 format, as well as specifically in Western Balkans, particularly with its major investments in industry, road construction, debt trap diplomacy, Confucius institutes and other political, economic and cultural leverages. Albania could not have been the sole exception from the rule, although it relies less on Chinese investments and direct interference as some of its Western Balkan neighbors, save for the Republic of Kosovo. However, the Albanian case has received only scant interest, both in academic circles and scholarly works as well as in mass media and other means of public communications. This has mainly been based on the assumption that Albania is naturally immune from any Chinese influences, be that in political, economic, or socio-cultural axes.

Authors:   Ningbo Technical University, Ningbo, China, Bo Wang , Bugayko Dmitro ,   National Aviation University, Kyiv, Grigorak Maria- ,   National Aviation University, Kyiv
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a study on the identification and calculation of logistics costs at the macro level in relation to different approaches to reflecting the cost of logistics operations in the statistical reporting of different countries. An analysis of international accounting practices and classifications of the logistics costs in different countries and their impacts on the competitiveness and performance of the national economy was conducted. The hypothesis that the cost of logistics significantly affects the competitiveness of goods and services but it does not reflect the performance of logistics operations in the country was proven. In that regard, a comparative analysis of the macroeconomic indicators of different countries and their rankings in terms of global competitiveness and logistics performance was elaborated. The estimation of the cost of logistics in Ukraine on the basis of statistical reporting was reviewed in greater details. The estimation of the logistics costs in Ukraine was carried out on the basis of the regression model and the MALC method. A review and a comparative analysis of the approaches to the assessment of logistics costs in Ukraine and China was made; the factors affecting their magnitude and dynamics were examined. Practical recommendations on the control and analysis of logistics costs in Ukraine and the development of logistics infrastructure were formulated.
Common-pool resource management: a new institutional economics perspective
Authors:   Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, Mirchevska Alexandra
Published: June 2023

The current paper introduces the theoretical approach of Common-pool resource management (CPRM). The paper summarizes the two dominant theoretical paradigms of CPRM theory – the traditional game-theoretic model, on one hand, and the new institutionalist approach mostly associated with the work of Elinor Ostrom, on the other. Through a theoretical comparison between the centralized and decentralized approaches to CPRM a focus on the main property rights distribution dilemma is provided. The paper provides a description of the role of internalization of externalities in achieving an efficient CPR management regime. The presented framework is transferred to the context of international common-pool resource management.

Global aspects of the twin deficit hypothesis
Authors:   South-West University ", Panova Maria ,   Neofit Rilski"
Published: June 2023

The twin deficit hypothesis, which explores the causal link between the budget deficit and the current account deficit, is put to the test for a sample of 188 countries for the period 1980-2014. The obtained results show that there is a complex impact on the current account dynamics, which cannot be explained solely by the dynamics of a single variable, or, if it is possible, then this variable is not the budget balance. It is found that the average budget balance is positive in only 36 countries (it is negative in the remaining 152 countries), ergo, the twin deficit hypothesis is confirmed. This is also supported by the VAR analysis - the double deficit hypothesis is valid for all groups of coefficients except those of Tuvalu, Lebanon, Eritrea and Equatorial Guinea, which have extreme coefficients (above -10).

DISPARITIES IN EDUCATION AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE LABOR MARKET IN BULGARIA
Authors:   Economic Research Institute аt BAS, Beleva Iskra
Published: June 2023

The on-going discussion of the disparities, incl. of those in education, are presented. The interconnections between education and the labor market are outlined. The development of the main indicators on the labor market, such as the labor force, employment, unemployment, persons outside of the labor market, are tracked based on the different levels of education for the period 2008-2017 and, on that basis, education is identified as a basic factor for successful labor integration. The analysis of the dynamic and structure of the market indicators allows for the highlighting of the positive and negative tendencies in the development of the disparities on the labor market, which stem from the educational characteristics of the labor force. Particular attention is paid to the assessments of key parameters of the National Development program: Bulgaria 2020 in the European context, underlining the fact that some indicators develop contrary to the expectations, while in the case of others – the difference in comparison to the average European levels remains large. In the context of the evidenced tendencies with regard to the fulfillment of the objectives of the Strategy 2020, an attempt is made to assess the conducted policies and especially the ones, which are aimed at encouraging labor integration through training and qualification; policies that have no alternative and are aimed at decreasing the social disparities and at the inclusion of risk groups in labor activity and at sustainable employment as a way to improve the standard of living.

Published: June 2023

The present article states that the development and implementation of effective anti-crisis policies on a global scale will make it possible, if not to avoid future financial crises entirely, than to at least make them predictable and manageable. Therefore, as a first step, national governments and international structures must learn the maximum lesson from the current crisis so that in the future anticrisis policy measures may become more effective and targeted. On a global scale, it is necessary to develop effective mechanisms which will ensure an optimal balance between the real and financial sectors, promote the accelerated development of the world economy and protect it from various kinds of economic shocks.

BEHAVIORAL ASPECTS OF SOCIAL POTENTIAL
Authors:   The D.A. Tsenov Academy of Economics, Kamenov Kamen
Published: June 2023

This article is dedicated to the topic of social potential as a source of development and sustainable functioning of the socio-economic system. It is pointed out that economic progress can also turn out to be a form of regress unless human investments are made. This baseline is used to put forward and discuss two major problems. The first problem refers to the relationship between human behavior and social potential. The focus here is placed on the system of values as a basic difference in human behavior. It also focuses on some psychological aspects of the thinking patterns behind one’s personality and behavior. The second problem is related to specific behavioral patterns that hinder the realization of social potential. Knowing them and being willing to eliminate them in the management practice may lead to an increase in the effective functioning of the socio-economic system.
Trends in the development of 3D printing and its economic and political implications
Authors:   University of National and World Economy, Prodanov Hristo
Published: June 2023

The paper examines the changes that have occurred in the political-economic systems of the fourth industrial revolution as a result of the introduction of 3D printers (so-called additive technologies). The emergence, nature and historical development of 3D printers are examined. The fields of their application, which are increasingly expanding, are analysed. Changes in the economic subsystem are outlined, which are assumed to require changes in the overall relationship between economics and politics, and thus transformations in political-economic systems. These changes are traced in terms of both the new challenges to which states will have to respond and the unfolding transformations in global divisions of labour and value chains that will have radical implications for the world's geo-economic and geo-political balances.

Historical roots of behavioural financial thought
Authors:   Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, Nedev Bozhidar
Published: June 2023

The rise of the first implicit ideas in the field of behavioural finance is examined from a historical point of view, taking into consideration the evolution of economic theories. The first documented manifestation of irrational behaviour on a market level, which took place during the 17th century, is presented. The foundations of Daniel Bernoulli’s Decision theory from the 18th century are systemized in regard to the implementation of behavioural aspects and the reference to the contemporary Prospect theory. The classical and early neoclassical schools of economic thought, where the idea that economic decisions are also being influenced by emotional stimulus can be found in the works of economists like Hermann Heinrich Gossen, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, William Stanley Jevons, Léon Walras and Edgeworth, are examined. The neoclassical school of economics, where the representatives of marginalism limit the idea of the complexity of human nature, is also analysed. In conclusion, a short description of some of the contemporary aspects of the science of behavioural finance is made.

Foundations of contemporary economics: William Baumol and entrepreneurship
Authors:   Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Germany, Egbert Henrik , Sedlarski Teodor ,   Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski
Published: June 2023

A short summary is made of William Baumols’ contributions to economic theory. Baumol (1922-2017) had a vivid interest in many different areas within the field of economics and substantially improved (in co-authorship) the quality of the research on the theory of environmental economics, industrial organization and entrepreneurship. The focus of the present paper is placed on his work on entrepreneurship. The institutional framework of a society makes its entrepreneurs either productive or unproductive and in some cases even destructive. This logic implies that economic policy can be used in order to make entrepreneurs become productive for a society and thus to induce growth, wealth and development.

Local Cosmopolitan Bikutsi
Authors: Brunner Anja
Published: June 2023

The pop variant of Bikutsi music discussed in this paper is currently one of the most popular dance music styles in Cameroon. Its roots lie in local musical traditions of the Beti ethnic group, however, it also makes use of features and practices associated to pop-rock music around the world. Taking this use of pop-rock music in Bikutsi as a starting point, in this paper, Bikutsi pop is discussed within the framework of collective «aesthetic cosmopolitanism» as proposed by Motti Regev. Drawing on the field theory of Bourdieu, he situates pop-rock characteristics within specific ethno-national cultural fields, understanding them as intrinsic to local musical practices. In this perspective, musicians do not just make use of «global» or «Western» pop-rock features taken from an «outside». Rather, Bikutsi pop occurs at the intersection of a worldwide field of pop-rock music and the specific Cameroonian ethno-national cultural field(s). Regarding ethnographic research, this perspective may challenge our field research strategies, as it questions common boundaries between inside and outside the field and highlights similarities rather than differences.

EL RÉGIMEN DE RESPONSABILIDAD ADMINISTRATIVA DE LOS FISCALES DEL MINISTERIO PÚBLICO CHILENO
Authors: Crisosto Rifo Cristian
Published: June 2023

El Ministerio Público es una institución que goza de un estatuto de autonomía constitucional fundado en la esencialidad de su función para la existencia del régimen democrático, esto es, ser un organismo profesional que investiga de manera exclusiva los hechos que revisten carácter de delito y ejerce la acción penal pública. Esta autonomía constitucional no significa que se encuentre al margen de los principios de control y de responsabilidad, sino que atendido su diseño institucional sus Fiscales deben someter sus actuaciones, internas y externas, a la Constitución Política y al Ordenamiento jurídico en general, respetando los derechos y garantías del artículo 19, Nº 3 de la Constitución, particularmente el debido proceso. De la normativa aplicable al régimen de responsabilidad disciplinaria de los Fiscales, es posible aseverar que aquella cumple con estándares razonables de respeto del principio de legalidad de las sanciones, al estar establecidas en normas legales los órganos que ejercen las potestades disciplinarias, definidas en la ley las sanciones aplicables, lo mismo que las bases generales del procedimiento aplicable. No obstante, resulta mejorable por ejemplo para el Fiscal Nacional, quien ostenta la facultad reglamentaria, y no legal, de la Reformatio in peius en carácter de absoluta, ya que está facultado, incluso sin mediar recurso alguno, para revocar de oficio una decisión absolutoria por una condenatoria, con el sólo mérito de la investigación. En cuanto al debido proceso en el ámbito adjetivo, su actual regulación no resulta coherente con el derecho a un justo y racional procedimiento, pues los plazos del único procedimiento sancionatorio; la Investigación administrativa; son de tal modo breves que se erigen en un serio obstáculo al ejercicio de un adecuado derecho a defensa por parte de los Fiscales inculpados.

What Happened in 2020: a Topic Modeling Approach based on a Topic Similarity Metric
Authors: Rocha Leonardo H. , Duarte Denio , Welter Daniel
Published: June 2023

2020 was atypical mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic's beginning which has become a vastly discussed subject worldwide. Unsurprisingly, online news websites have followed this trend, besides publishing traditional subjects (e.g., sports, business, and politics). Understanding how the subjects interact with each other over the year is a challenge. In this paper, we intend to build a 2020 timeline based on the subjects and their similarity using a topic modeling approach (LDA) and a novel topic similarity metric. To accomplish that, we scrap news articles websites to build a collection of 2020 news. After that, the collection is pre-processed and sliced monthly.  We use an LDA approach to discover the latent topics from all temporal collections.  Next, we calculate the similarity between the topics across 2020 using five semantic correlations: born, death, keep, merge, and split.  The discovered topics and the drift semantic between them show that building a meaningful 2020 time line is possible.
Neuroplastic processes associated with the adoption of virtual reality: a systematic review highlighting a new approach to mental disorders treatment

Published: June 2023

The application of virtual reality (VR) is attracting the interest of clinicians and researchers in various fields such as neuropsychology, rehabilitation and education. The shared utility is to promote a process of improvement of services for the well-being of the person towards the realization of proximity support. The research question of the present work focuses on the investigation of the neural correlate that mediates the relationship of psycho-cognitive and motor changes with the use of virtual reality. To this end, a systematic review is conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, investigating the time frame 2016–2022. The qualitative analysis of the articles supports the hypothesis that virtual reality is associated with neuroplastic processes characterized by the repair, albeit partial, of the damage suffered or the restructuring of neural activation networks.

Human Reliability Assessment method applied to investigate human factors in NDT - The case of the interpretation of radiograms in the French nuclear sector

This communication reports on a study carried out in the context of the collaborative FOEHN project (Human and Organizational Factors in Non-Destructive Evaluation) supported by the French National Research Agency. The motivation of this project comes from the observation that human and Organizational factors (HOF) are not sufficiently considered by the NDT community. Its goal is to analyse and model the influence of the HOF on selected cases of study in the perspective of a better evaluation of the performance of inspections. The communication is focused on a radiographic test (RT) case of study in which it appeared that several successive inspections had failed to detect an existing in-service defect. The analysis and modelling of HOF related to interpretation of films has been achieved in the framework of the CREAM (Cognitive and Reliability and Error Analysis Method). A survey has been conducted during the training and the maintaining of the proficiency of NDT (Non Destructive Testing) operators. This was followed by a non-participant observation of operators on site and several individual interviews including a sample of people covering the main organizational and hierarchical roles (eg. project management, management, operations, invigilation). The exchange with the HOF experts resulted in a hierarchical analysis of "radiogram interpretation" tasks (31 sub-tasks) and a list of contextual and organizational factors that may affect the performance of interpretation of films by the operator. From such a description the CREAM method allows to determine critical tasks and probability of “errors” linked to a limited set of “Common Performance Conditions” (CPC). The first conclusions of this study are that the model CREAM seems well-adapted to the estimation of the impact of HOF on NDT performances. The next phases should be to apply it to other tasks (here only radiograph interpretation) and techniques. The expected benefit of this study is to provide tools for the evaluation and optimisation of NDT implementation.
