HUMAN RESOURCES – A RPA PERSPECTIVE
Authors: TOFAN DRAGOȘ OVIDIU
Published: February 2025

Robotic Process Automation - RPA technologies are known as solutions to support or
replace the human factor by automating repetitive and routine tasks, with a positive
impact translated by increasing the level of productivity and eliminating the risk of error
specific to such operations. These software "robots" have been adopted rapidly and
widely in various fields of activity, given the proven efficiency in the field of data
collection and information provision in departments or segments of operational flow
where the volume of routine processes is high but also big time and money consuming.
Beyond the immediate and measurable benefits of various key performance indicators,
the implementation of such systems within organizations - regardless of their nature -
raises a rather thorny issue, namely the relocation of human resources that is practically
removed from current attributions and tasks for which it is qualified. This article aims to
assess as closely as possible the ethical aspects of RPA digitization and the effects that
such technologies can have on an essential component of a company's capital: the
human factor.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE ROMANIAN POLICE FROM THE MILITIA DURING THE COMMUNIST PERIOD
Authors: CRAP GABRIEL
Published: February 2025

During the last decade Romania has undergone major political transformation from
communist regimes to democratic forms of government. Despite changes--introducing
police ranks, changing uniforms, prohibiting party affiliation, police find it more
difficult to persuade citizens that they have really changed. The article details the
modifications that came about in tandem with the evolution of the Romanian Police
following Romania's 1990 political upheaval. The relationship between socioeconomic
shifts and the corresponding modifications to law enforcement agencies has received
special attention. These modifications range from renaming the Militia to the Police to
altering its personnel, organizational structure, and legal framework. The
Romanian Police is a professional organization that serves the public and is
commemorating its 202nd anniversary in 2024.
REMOVING DK/NA VALUES IN SHARE, WVS, OR SIMILAR DATASETS. EFFECTS ON THE EXPLORATION OF PREDICTIVE MODELS
Authors: HOMOCIANU DANIEL
Published: February 2025

This paper describes the effects of using a tool capable of automatically removing
DK/NA (Do Not Know/No Answer) values from some tabular datasets. For these values,
the original encoding performed by some providers of significant survey datasets (e.g.,
SHARE, WVS, etc.) is as negative numbers. To leave them as are means to accept an
artificial increase of scales. Or that translates into dramatic changes in feature
selection, exploration tasks, and performance measurements of the resulting models. The
tool discussed in this paper helps avoid manually recoding or deriving cleaned replicas
of the existing variables in such datasets. In a transparent manner (progress tracking),
this tool automatically detects all variables specified, treats each of them, and generates
immediate results corresponding to the treatment status (including exceptions for string
ones). The paper also brings examples of using real-world data (World Values SurveyWVS, Time-series, v4.0).

Authors: Baena-Rojas Jose Jaime , Isabel Méndez Juana , Constantina Mazon-Parra Nancy , Omar López-Caudana Edgar
Published: February 2025

Considering the emerging trends in higher education to implement innovative pedagogical strategies and tools, this study examines the role of Social Robotics (SR) and Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in enhancing classroom performance and fostering meta-competencies such as scientific, critical, innovative, and systemic thinking. Therefore, a field study was conducted with 106 students from Ibero-American universities, exploring their perceptions of SR through a mixed-methods approach. The objective was to determine the level of acceptance and effectiveness of SR in expanding the learning process. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation, revealing significant positive associations between SR implementation and classroom engagement, with students reporting increased general interest in class (ρ = 0.741, p < 0.001) and a faster perception of time (ρ = 0.679, p < 0.001). Despite these benefits, challenges such as high costs and technical barriers limit widespread SR adoption. However, SR holds significant potential to enhance the quality of higher education, contributing to ongoing efforts to integrate technological tools that prepare students for future challenges and uncertainties. The study recommends further research to evaluate SR’s long-term effects and scalability.

PSALM HYMN AND SIMILAR FORMS IN TURKISH RELIGIOUS MUSIC IN THE EXAMPLE OF ALI UFKÎ
Authors: Okcu Semih
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
The expressions in the Psalms section of Bible, which is known as the Old and New Testament, about the prophets Moses, David, and Solomon, by being mentioned directly by their names, making their edicts through music are quite remarkable. Although religious music, which was considerably in the fore ground from Adam to Moses, from David and Solomon to Jesus and Mohammed, and later to the Medieval periods, had lost its place to the non-religious music, is thought to have always maintained its area of ​​influence. Our study, where we emphasized that David read aloud the Zabur that were revealed to him, that Moses was a music lover, that Mohammed preferred his companions with beautiful voices to read Qur'an, clearly shows us that the language of music is used in religious rituals because of its effects on people. Especially when we examined the Psalm hymns of Ali Ufkî Bey, the similarity of the melodic sequence of these hymns with Turkish religious music has attracted our attention, and we have felt the need to do a comparative study in order to refer to this similarity. In this study, where we examined the Psalm hymns that appear in the Bible and occur with it and its form structures that are similar to Turkish religious Music, information about Psalms and Psalm hymns were given from general to specific. Then, necessary analyses were completed by discussing form structures of the Psalms that bear similarities to Turkish religious music such as Ghazal, Qasida, Qur'an Chants, Tamcid, Rosary, Circle Dhikr, Works About Miraj, Mawlid, Hejaz Tunes and Nihavend New Form, and the evaluations arising within the subject were discussed in the conclusion section.

Authors: Arrazola Navarro Anibal Alfonso , Pertuz Gámez Gisella Paola
Published: February 2025

Sustainability is an important milestone in productivity and competitiveness, and Colombia's palm oil sector is no exception. This global trend in demand for products aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) led to the creation of Colombia's palm sustainability program in 2007. However, the program's current progress is not encouraging. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate Colombia's sustainable palm oil program in relation to the needs of the palm oil sector for 2023. The evaluation is framed within the hermeneutic paradigm, with a qualitative approach based on the grounded theory method. A registration matrix was used as a tool for the analysis of the documented information. The results indicate that, although the program is adequate for the current situation of the sector, it lacks some indispensable indicators for continuous monitoring in the logical framework matrix. In addition, it was found that the relationship between producers, the private sector and the State is crucial; fluid communication and commitment from all parties are necessary to address financing problems and achieve the program's objectives.
Convivencia en la escuela: un enfoque interdisciplinar para promover la paz y la Ciudadanía
Authors: Vides Parada Eder Julian , Ceballos Abello Gilberto
Published: February 2025

At the Carlos Albán Holguín School (IED), an alternative approach has been implemented for the management of school coexistence, prioritizing pedagogical measures over traditional sanctions. This approach, led by the coexistence coordination and teachers from the Natural Sciences, Language and Arts area; also includes the training of secondary school students in the field of conciliation through the Hermes program of the Bogotá Cámara de Comercio. Through this initiative, it is intended to promote an interdisciplinary approach to promote peace and citizenship by strengthening emotional skills at an intrapersonal and interpersonal level, contributing to the improvement of coexistence and the peaceful management of conflicts. The strategy focuses on the prevention and management of conflicts, without depending exclusively on the coexistence manual or disciplinary measures, betting on the development of soft skills and a culture of peace in the school environment. The methodology used in this research suggests a qualitative reflective process, seeking an interpretive and descriptive scope through different interventions such as “Voces de vida”, the radio broadcasting “Sobredosis” and the school garden as a pedagogical environment for social transformation. In each of the pedagogical approaches, feedback cycles are made from the research, action, and reflection of John Elliott, systematizing the main findings. Experience has shown that the participation of students in conciliation and community projects has improved the rates of coexistence within the institution. Likewise, the interdisciplinary approach has allowed the integration of areas such as natural sciences, artistic education and language in the design of projects, creating an environment conducive to creativity and mutual respect. These actions, far from being simple corrective measures, seek the comprehensive training of the student in emotional skills, peaceful coexistence and responsible citizenship.
AN INFERENTIALISM-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR CAPTURING STATISTICAL CONCEPT FORMATION OVER TIME
Authors: PATEL ANNE , PFANNKUCH MAXINE
Published: February 2025

Statistics education researchers have been challenged to consider the theory of inferentialism in understanding concept formation in students. A critique of inferentialism is that no comprehensive method has been formulated to use the theory in practice. In this paper an inferentialism-based framework is presented that appears to be capable of explicating the development of statistical concepts during learning. By following six 11-year-olds’ learning over several statistical modelling cycles using TinkerPlots, the framework was used to capture their interrogative cycles of noticing and wondering, giving and asking for reasons, and sanctioning and censuring, as well as oscillations between concretising language about actions and conceptualising language towards concept formation. Five teaching episodes occurring near the beginning of a 12-week learning sequence are used to illustrate how the framework might be able to capture student concept formation over time.
Dünyada Eğitim Yönetimi Disiplininin Tarihsel Süreç İçerisindeki Gelişiminin İncelenmesi
Authors: Kıcır İsmail
Published: February 2025

The aim of this study is to examine the development of the discipline of educational management in the world within the historical process. In educational institutions, students are usually directed to designated study sequences in order to enable them to gain expertise in a specific field, and these study sequences are defined as disciplines. Due to the fact that the disciplines are very different from each other, the difficulty of a concise definition that is equally suitable for each discipline is mentioned. This situation is due to the fact that disciplines have identities due to their unique characteristics. Although each discipline contains its own activities, information structures, social structures and communication models, it is seen as rich, complex and areas with certain goals. In the classification of sciences, although each discipline is included in an upper umbrella, it has self-defining characteristics within its own borders. In this context, six basic characteristics of a discipline are highlighted: a focus of study, a common worldview or paradigm, a set of compliance disciplines used to create the discipline, principles and practices related to the discipline, an active research or theory development agenda, and the dissemination of education and the promotion of professionalism. These characteristics are the elements that distinguish the disciplines from each other and allow them to create their own boundaries.At the heart of science lies doubt, curiosity and need. Along with a sense of curiosity, people's desire to understand the world and its environment has led to the emergence of disciplines. The desire to understand different phenomena in the environment has led to the emergence of different disciplines. The problems that a discipline deals with or the questions that it seeks answers reflect the character of the field. These areas of questions can be concentrated in certain areas where there is common consensus in some cases on the intellectual progress of a field of science; the theoretical framework requires a context in which there are relatively standard principles in the context of research methods and requirements for the admission of newcomers to the discipline.

Os resultados indicaram que a cultivar BRS Exuberante se destacou no tamanho das sementes e condutividade elétrica, enquanto a BRS Olhonegro foi superior na classificação de sementes. A BRS Verdejante, embora menos uniforme, apresentou maior massa de grãos. Em termos de produção, as cultivares BRS Exuberante e BRS Verdejante se sobressaíram no comprimento de vagem, número de grãos por vagem e rendimento de grãos. Já a BRS Olhonegro apresentou o maior número de vagens por planta. Esses resultados são valiosos para orientar a escolha de cultivares para diferentes objetivos produtivos na região.

Até pouco tempo, o consumo de polpa de açaí era restrito ao estado do Pará e algumas áreas da Amazônia. Nos últimos anos, no entanto, o açaí passou a ser consumido em praticamente todos os estados brasileiros, aumentando sua demanda. Com o aumento do consumo da palmeira Euterpe oleracea no Sul do Brasil, o presente estudo buscou avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses de adubação no crescimento inicial das mudas em viveiro e a sobrevivência na região. O experimento foi realizado no viveiro da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, campus Frederico Westphalen (UFSM/FW), utilizando quatro doses de adubação NPK 05.20.20 (25, 50, 75, e 100 g) e uma testemunha. Cada tratamento teve 20 repetições, totalizando 100 amostras, nas quais foram coletados dados de altura e diâmetro do coleto a cada 30 dias, por um período de 120 dias. Os resultados mostraram que as mudas submetidas à dose de 50 g obtiveram as melhores médias, alcançando 45,94 cm de altura. Para o diâmetro do coleto, não houve diferença estatística significativa entre as doses, com as melhores médias observadas nas doses de 50 g (12,29 mm) e 75 g (12,45 mm). A dosagem recomendada para adubação inicial de Euterpe oleracea é de 50 g de NPK 05.20.20 por muda nos primeiros 120 dias. A sobrevivência das mudas não foi influenciada pelos tratamentos de adubação aplicados.

Baccharis L. é um gênero de plantas da família Asteraceae, comum no Brasil, especialmente nas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste. As plantas desse gênero se adaptam a diferentes ambientes e podem variar de arbustos a árvores de pequeno porte. São valorizadas por suas variadas propriedades medicinais. No entanto, apenas cerca de 15% das espécies foram analisadas do ponto de vista fitoquímico. Baccharis também tem um papel econômico significativo, contribuindo para a prevenção da erosão e sendo valorizadas como plantas ornamentais. A pesquisa científica tem revelado um potencial significativo para aplicações farmacêuticas de algumas espécies de Baccharis, aumentando o interesse por este gênero no campo da medicina e da saúde. Este trabalho visou realizar um levantamento de espécies de plantas do gênero Baccharis  na região da Serra de Carrancas, em Minas Gerais. Onde foram  identificadas 13 espécies distintas pertencentes ao gênero Baccharis, logo após foi feita a  validação dos binômios botânicos e seus respectivos autores. Com essas espécies realizamos um levantamento  bibliográfico dos registros etnobotânicos e farmacológicos.
Kant on Race Mixing, Subracial Variety, and Progressive Culture
Authors: Mosayebi Reza
Published: February 2025

Critical scholarship of Kant’s race theory has been mainly focused on his concept of race. This article draws attention to his peculiar conception of “variety” as a subracial category that, restricted to the White race, plays a significant role in providing a diversity that enables progress in culture. The question organizing the article is this: How, on Kant’s account, given its defense of radical racial inequality and degradation by race mixing, can the human diversity needed for substantial cultural achievements come about? Analyzing Kant’s opposition to race mixing, this article shows that its corollary is a teleological conception of the diversity within the White racial group (White diversity). The article reveals the neglected connection of White diversity and Kant’s account of “progressive culture” from a racial point of view. Since the positions of theories of race and racism on both race mixing and the role of race for culture play a decisive role in their characterization, these goals are significant both for a more coherent understanding of the nature of the racializing claims in Kant’s theory and of their racism.
Biopolitics, Carcerality, and Capital in Foucault’s Unfinished Account of the Racial State
Authors: Lichtenstein Eli B.
Published: February 2025

Michel Foucault argued that a key modality of state racism is biopower, through which the life of populations is differentially supported, shaped, and neglected. However, Foucault’s account of state racism is unfinished, because it fails to identify the modalities of power that persist when states withdraw life-supporting technologies from racialized populations, thereby committing “indirect murder.” This article develops Foucault’s account of racism and the racial state by describing the carceral technologies that expand with the withdrawal of biopower. To do so, it draws on Foucault’s theorization of carcerality in Discipline and Punish. It argues that biopolitical withdrawal is doubled by a simultaneous carceral investment, such that the state’s denial of life-supporting technologies occurs in tandem with the racially structured policing of the poor. Additionally, this article explains how Foucault’s concept of the management of illegalisms identifies a key vehicle of racialization, and illuminates the utility of carceral systems to racial capitalism.

Published: February 2025

Stunting merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang serius, terutama di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia, dengan prevalensi mencapai 30,8%. Sebanyak 23% anak mengalami stunting sejak lahir, dan 77% lainnya menjadi stunting setelah lahir, sering kali disebabkan oleh masalah gigi berlubang yang tidak tertangani. Kondisi ini berdampak negatif pada kemampuan anak untuk makan dengan baik, sehingga mengganggu asupan gizi yang optimal dan membuat mereka lebih rentan terhadap stunting. Program Orang Tua Asuh Anak Stunting (OTA2S) bertujuan untuk memberikan pendampingan dalam pola makan anak dan edukasi mengenai pemeliharaan kesehatan mulut bagi baduta (bawah dua tahun) yang mengalami stunting. Kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat Program kemitraan Masyarakat selama 90 hari ini berjalan dengan lancar dalam upaya penurunan angka stunting dengan melakukan pendampingan pola makan BADUTA di Kelurahan Liliba. Program ini diharapkan dapat menurunkan angka stunting di Kota Kupang dan meningkatkan kesadaran serta pemahaman masyarakat tentang pentingnya kesehatan mulut dalam mendukung tumbuh kembang anak.
