Shellfish aquaculture is of great importance in offering a sustainable food source, thus playing a major role towards achieving food security and nutrition, employment, and economic development in coastal areas. Mussel aquaculture, in particular, offers a substantial development opportunity for Black Sea riparian countries; however, a significant attention must be given to zoo-sanitary conditions and public health, considering the filter-feeding behaviour of these organisms. With the involvement of GFCM’s Aquaculture Demonstrative Center (hosted by NIMRD), the microbiological classification of bivalve mollusk production and relaying areas in Romania was performed. Yet, the regular monitoring of these areas is not enough to prevent accidental contamination of shellfish farms, in case a potential harmful discharge from a wastewater treatment plant occurs. In this contet, the goal of our research was to develop a prediction tool, focused on an early warning system of any possibly microbiologically loaded water discharge (Escherichia coli), using a downscaling of CMEMS Earth Observation data and in situ validation. The developed service module can give farmers the ability to predict a potential harmful outbreak and decide to harvest earlier or later and/or keep the mussels in a purification tank before marketing, in order to avoid any possible E. coli contaminated harvest to be put on the market involuntarily.

Biden's Strategic Competition Approach Towards China
Authors: Alenezi Danah
Published: February 2024

Purpose- This paper aims to analysis and explore the causes of Biden's preference for the strategic competition approach to address China's threat.

Design/methodology/approach- The paper relies on the offensive realism theory as the most relevant theory to examine the US polies and approaches towards China, or US-Sino strategic competition. In particular, the theory is suited to explore Biden's preference for the strategic competition approach, and not the hostile approach. As the theory contends that the great powers are rational actors do not engage in destructive wars if the balance of power is not in their favor.

Findings- Since 2008 U.S perceives China as a most serious threat to its global hegemony. Obama and Trump's administrations have prioritized the strategic competition approach towards China, which aims at containing China's power smoothly without sliding competition to the level of severe hostility. Biden maintained this approach and also, reinforced it to avoid as much as possible major hostility with China. Through, for instance, rallying alliances and multilateralism. Based on that, the study suggests the U.S will prioritize this approach unless China upsets the existing balance by annexing Taiwan or taking full control of the South China Sea.

Originality/value -The significance of the paper emanates from providing an in-depth analysis and explanation of the cause of the conflict or the cold war between China and the United States, and the main policies and approaches that the United States adopt to deal with China.
A New Calculation Method for Instantaneous Efficiency and Torque Fluctuation of Spur Gears
Authors: Tian Xin , Wang Guangjian , Jiang Yujiang
Published: February 2024

As a critical component of the joint gearbox, spur gear pairs play a crucial role in energy conversion, limiting the performance of a collaborative robot. Accurately assessing their instantaneous efficiency and torque fluctuation is essential for developing high-precision robot joint control models. This study proposes a computational model to predict the instantaneous efficiency and torque fluctuation of spur gears under typical operating conditions. The model incorporates a torque balance model, a load distribution model, and a friction model to reflect the relationship between gear meshing position and efficiency. The instantaneous efficiency and torque fluctuation of gear pairs were compared with the Coulomb friction model with an average friction coefficient and the elastohydrodynamic lubrication model with a time-varying friction coefficient. The effect of gear contact ratio on efficiency is analysed, while the instantaneous efficiency and torque fluctuation of gears are studied under varying operating conditions. The results indicate a maximum efficiency difference of 1.86 % between the two friction coefficient models. Under specific operating conditions, the instantaneous efficiency variation of the gear pair can reach 3.34 %, and the torque fluctuation can reach 5.19 Nm. Finally, this study demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method through comparative analysis.

El convoy a Tizza
Authors: José Antonio Maradona Adiego
Published: February 2024

El 29 de septiembre de 1921 se envió un convoy de abastecimiento y relevo a la posición de Tizza, situada a una decena de kilómetros de Melilla. El hecho de que hubiesen fracasado varios intentos previos y la necesidad de tranquilidad en ese sector del frente ante la inminente ofensiva en el valle de Segangan, hacían imperativo el éxito de la operación, la dirección de las dos columnas que lo formaban fue encomendada al general Tuero O’Donnell. La principal sería detenida en las lomas próximas a Gareb, donde se hacinaron sus cuatro batallones bajo un intenso fuego rifeño, sin ser capaz el jefe de su vanguardia, coronel Lacanal o, el propio Tuero, de hallar manera de avanzar. Por su parte la casi totalidad de la columna izquierda, dirigida por el coronel Sirvent, permanecería inactiva al otro lado del Río de Oro mientras se luchaba en Tizza. Una peligrosa situación, de la que solo se salió tras la decisión del general Cavalcanti, que presenciaba la acción como comandante general de Melilla, de cargar al frente de una compañía de zapadores rompiendo el bloqueo y haciendo llegar el convoy a su destino. Poco tiempo después, los mandos implicados en esta acción serían cesados y sometidos a juicio acusados de negligencia, a resultas del cual fueron condenados.

El Archivo General Militar de Segovia : 125 años de historia
Authors: Diego Quirós Montero
Published: February 2024

Destruido el Alcázar de Segovia por el incendio de 1862, su restauración no se iniciaría hasta 20 años más tarde, presentándose antes de su finalización diversas propuestas acerca del futuro uso del edificio. Su primer destino se materializó en 1896 cuando acogió al Parque y Archivo General de Artillería, para convertirse en 1898 en la sede del Archivo General Militar, unidad que en 2023 celebra su 125 aniversario de creación. El retorno del monumento al Cuerpo de Artillería en 1909, y la creación del Patronato del Alcázar en 1951, supondría para el Archivo la pérdida progresiva de locales repletos de documentación. Para compensar las pérdidas, en la década de 1960 se recurrió a la Casa de la Química, edificio ubicado en las inmediaciones del Alcázar. Las progresivas rehabilitaciones de este inmueble permitieron ir ocupando gradualmente todos sus recintos, tanto por el Archivo como por el Patronato del Alcázar.
Research on the Influence of Shale Reservoir Depth on Fracture Characteristics Based on Xsite
Authors: Qiu Guozhou , Li Jing
Published: February 2024

The exploration and development of shale reservoir is faced with both opportunities and challenges, especially the mechanism of influence of shale reservoir depth on hydraulic fracture characteristics is unclear. In this paper, by means of Xsite simulation, four stress levels are set to reflect the depth change from the side, and the influence of depth change on the hydraulic fracture characteristics of shale reservoir is studied. The results reveal a phenomenon: in the low stress environment, the fracture network can be effectively constructed, showing a more spacious space structure; In high-stress environments, the propagation direction of hydraulic fractures is precisely controlled, and these fractures can communicate more closely with the bedding surface. It is worth noting that in the low stress environment, the tensile fracture has a large area and forms a broad fracture network. In contrast, in high-stress environments, shear fractures dominate and their area increases significantly. In addition, the fracture volume is larger under low stress environment, while the total fracture area is more significant under high stress environment. This discovery has far-reaching significance for the formation of complex fracture networks in shale reservoirs, emphasizes the importance of making full use of shale multilayer characteristics, and provides rich and profound theoretical guidance for engineering practice.

Published: February 2024

Although quite a few studies conducted the effect of seating arrangement and peer factor to students’ attitude toward a specific course such as math, several educators believe that it is crucial for learning performance. Different seating arrangements provide students dynamic educational experiences and peer-relationship creates impact on students’ academic achievement. Looking through these possibilities, it is an important decision to consider since both factors possibly play a significant role in the optimization of students’ performance. Quasi-experimental design was conducted to investigate the effect. Specifically, a Likert scale pre-test/post-test between-group design was employed to the three groups: one control group and two experimental groups. Also, sociometry assessment was formulated through Glasser’s Choice Theory where people rely their choices based on five primary needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. Rearranging the seating arrangements, experimental groups were rigorously analyzed based on two assumptions: (1) the mean score of the student’s ATM versus the mean score of the sociometry; and (2) mutual relationship that indicates good motivation. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to assess the effects of the treatment. Students experiencing either sociometry-based traditional or horseshoe seating arrangement reported more positive attitude towards math than did students experiencing mere traditional seating arrangement. The result from this study is deemed beneficial to the educators and students to optimize learning environment.

Authors:   Association for Studies in Parents and Guardians, Kim Eunyoung , Jang Yujin
Published: February 2024

This study investigated cases of regional school parental support centers that conduct school parental education linked with educational donations. It aimed to propose operational strategies for school parental education that can be linked to school parental educational donations. Three regional school parental support centers were selected considering regional characteristics and activity excellence, and focus group interviews were conducted with participating parents and staff in charge. The main research results are as follows. First, school parental education linked with educational donations started with certification courses or advanced education, centered on the support of Education Support Offices, rather than being a one-time school parental education. Parents enhanced their capabilities through club activities and supported each other, and these activities were also a factor in sustaining educational donation activities. Second, activities involving educational donations for parental education at schools not only altered the perspectives of school parents but also motivated them to willingly support various educational initiatives at the school. Continuous management and sponsorship by Education Support Offices and sincere parental instructors were success factors for educational donations, but parents faced difficulties due to inappropriate attitudes of schools or teachers towards parental instructors. This study suggests space and material support for parental instructors, stable budget support, and the interest and effort of Education Support Offices and parent support experts to activate school parental educational donations.

The influence of gamification and motivational factors on driver engagement in online learning
Authors: Gąsiorek Kamila
Published: February 2024

Gamification of education is a developing approach for increasing motivation and engagement by incorporating game design elements in educational environments. Despite increasing academic research exploring the use of gamification in education little is known about the application of the approach in the context of driver training. This study verified whether the gamification of educational platforms affects drivers' motivation to learn. The influence of individual elements of gamification on motivation was described. Moreover, the research contributes to understanding what demographic characteristics of drivers are related to the perception of different motivational factors used in gamified platforms. To advance understanding if and how educational gamification fosters and influences driver learning, the following three research questions were analyzed: (1) To what degree does educational gamification in general increase drivers’ perceived motivation in learning? (2) To what degree do specific game elements impact perceived motivation in learning? (3) Are the benefits of gamification limited to or enhanced in participants with specific demographic characteristics? The study (n = 30) examined how participation in the gamified course overall impacts drivers’ motivation, and described the impact of individual gamification elements on motivation. The study demonstrates that a large part (69,6%) of participants reported that, in general, the educational gamification environment used increased their perceived motivation. Participants found it more motivating than a traditional course. Game elements related to tracking one’s own progress were found to be most motivating. The involvement of the respondents was strongly related to the need for clearly defined goals that they should pursue when using the platform. These goals should be clearly explained, with a clear system of challenges and rewards. The study showed the benefits of gamification were not limited to participants with specific demographic characteristics. Conducted research suggests that the implementation of gamification schemes in e-learning may bring many benefits which are connected with increasing drivers’ engagement in learning and their vocational development. The results indicate a positive recipience of the proposed gamification elements and high level of their acceptance among the people who are about to enter professional driving profession.

Published: February 2024

Accidents are inherent elements of human activity, and engineers have strived to develop safety systems to safeguard people against accidents, which are often random and unpredictable. Helmets have become the most popular means of protection over the years. They have undergone significant modifications, evolving into effective and advanced tools for head protection. Unfortunately, because helmets remain optional for bicycle users, some individuals choose to ignore safety guidelines. Methods: This research employed a survey method conducted among the residents of the Poznan agglomeration to determine the reasons behind the low adoption of helmets. A questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was distributed to 173 users of two-wheeled vehicles, including motorbikes, bicycles, mopeds, and electric scooters. Results: The findings revealed that only 41.4% of men declared using helmets, with 24.4% of women doing so. Additionally, 44.4% of the helmets in use were new, while the remaining 55.6% were purchased second-hand. Conclusion: The research indicates that individuals are more likely to wear protective helmets on older two-wheelers, and helmet usage is higher in larger cities. Therefore, it is essential to focus bicycle helmet educational campaigns on children and teenagers to improve safety awareness and encourage helmet usage.

The new articulations between science and democracy raise numerous debates regarding the management of contemporary crises, which evoke the complex relations between the universe of scientific work, politics and society, passing through claims of an autonomy of the scientific field and its links with society. Science and democracy must go together in solving contemporary crises through the necessary dialogue between civil society and the scientific community around the choice of research priorities and respecting the margins of professional autonomy of the scientific environment, as a guarantee of the impartiality of knowledge production.

Digital transformation is the process by which new digital technologies are integrated into the whole of activities to strengthen performance. A successful transformation is considered to guarantee a coherent and intelligent organization capable of anticipating expectations. Digitization and globalization are transforming businesses, everything being called into question: strategies, management, organizations, ways of designing, manufacturing and selling products and services, information and communication systems. The digital revolution is an upheaval for the individual, for businesses and for the whole society. Digital is revolutionizing technical activities, but also management and work methods. In this way, deterministic models must be reconciled with the practices resulting from more agile methods (test and learn, minimum viable product, short iterations) to deal with an environment that has become volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
AUTOPOIESIS AND SACREDNESS IN THE DIGITAL SOCIETY: THE BIRTH OF THE METAVERSE
Authors: STĂICULESCU Ana Rodica , NADOLEANU Gheorghe , BRAN Emanuela
Published: February 2024

The Metaverse, as the apogee of Society 5.0, opens an iconic and transcendental horizon for exploring the capabilities of human innovation and synergy, giving the knowledge society a new, spiritually connected dimension. The article explores the emergence of the metaverse as an autopoietic entity within the contemporary risk society, arguing that digital transformation facilitates the convergence of separate social systems. In light of Luhmann's theories, the metaverse is examined as a solution to the latent risks of reflexive, late and liquid modernity. The analysis draws on the thought of Baudrillard, Durkheim and Marx, applying their concepts to assess the potential positive and negative repercussions of the metaverse. The article draws a parallel between the structure of magic - characterised by individualism - and that of religion - intrinsically communitarian - suggesting that the metaverse would benefit from following this communitarian model to sustain a collective spiritual dimension, in contrast to the hyperstimulating satisfaction of selfish desires. The conclusion invokes theologian Paul Evdokimov's vision of the limitations of cataphatic theology and the invigorating potential of apophatic theology that calls for the plenitude of the parousiac life, including in the context of interdisciplinary dialogue.
