This study presents the analysis of thermodynamic behavior and energy efficiency of a vapor compression refrigeration system with two types of condensers: air-cooled (ACC) and water-cooled (WCC). The main objective is to assess the system performance by comparing the Coefficient of Performance (COP) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) under both condenser configurations. During a 12-hour test period, data on refrigerant pressure, temperature, and electrical energy consumption were collected and analyzed. The results show that the WCC system outperforms the ACC system, showing a 5.7% increase in heat rejection and a 4.2% increase in cooling capacity. In addition, the WCC system exhibits a lower compressor duty cycle and consumes less electrical energy, resulting in a higher total EER of 5.658 compared to ACC of 1.945. These findings suggest that integrating a water-cooled condenser into a refrigeration system can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs, making it a viable option for commercial applications in tropical regions.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, the exploration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composites has garnered significant attention due to their versatility applications in aqueous environments. However, despite their promise, neat PVA exhibit limitations such as significant mechanical degradation under repeated swelling cycles. This study investigates the durability and tribological performance of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composites reinforced with nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (LDH) and tannic acid (TA) under repeated swelling cycles. Building on previous research that explored composite preparation and initial characterization, this research emphasizes the effects of cyclic swelling on wear resistance, friction behavior, and mechanical properties. Tribological tests were conducted to evaluate the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate before and after multiple swelling cycles, alongside tensile strength and strain measurements. The results revealed that the PVA/TA2/LDH2 composite, containing the highest additive content, exhibited the lowest wear rate of 11.52 × 10⁻⁵ mm³/Nm after 3 swelling cycles, demonstrating superior resistance to material degradation. Although PVA/TA2/LDH1 exhibited a slightly lower COF, its wear rate was higher due to reduced reinforcement. Compared to neat PVA, which showed a COF increase from 0.45 to 0.53, the PVA/LDH/TA composites retained their tribological stability, with only a marginal increase in COF and wear rate. Similarly, tensile strength of PVA/TA2/LDH2 decreased by only 11% after 3 cycles (from 33.3 MPa to 30 MPa), while neat PVA experienced a 25.5% reduction (from 30 MPa to 22.5 MPa). These findings highlight the potential of PVA/LDH/TA composites for applications in aqueous environments, offering significantly enhanced long-term performance and reliability.

Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the health of the Thai people. The PHEM was essential for the surveillance, prevention, and control of COVID-19. This study aimed to present the process of the PHEM for COVID-19 from February 29, 2021, to April 30, 2022, and the factors affecting the successful outcome. The study area covered three provinces. The Target group included 37 public health personnel. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group interviews based on the non-structure interview guideline and were analyzed by content analysis. The components of COVID-19 prevention and control in the process of PHEM included (1) Emergency Operation Center (EOC) with the incidence command system (ICS) from the district to the provincial level to propose the provincial measure, (2) Provincial Communicable Disease Committee (PCDC) to manage the provincial measure, (3) the measure for surveillance, prevention, control, and treatment of COVID-19, and (4) outcomes and best practices for surveillance and control of COVID-19. The success factors of 4S and EC included Space to prepare the quarantine (HQ, LQ), Cohort Ward (CW), field hospitals, community isolation, and home isolation to face the patient and risky group, Staff from various organizations, and groups including the community leader and Health Volunteer (HV), Stuff to manage and share the medical and non-medical equipment, System of Covid-19 response including EOC, ICS, Joint Investigation Team (JIT) and Communicable Disease Control Unit (CDCU) for monitoring the real-time of surveillance and control of COVID-19 output, Environment to conduct management in hospital and the community with Infections Control  (IC), and Culture in term of social capital on “the relationship of Isan people” to provide the good care and support for the patients. The structure of PHEM, Isan’s culture, and good preparation were the significant factors in the three provinces.
The Role of Primary Health Care in the Timely Treatment and Hospitalization of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Evidence from Georgia
Authors: Verulava Tengiz , Arakishvili Lika
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Family physicians play a critical role in managing and urgently referring patients with myocardial infarction. This study aims to examine the role of primary healthcare system related to timely treatment and, when necessary, hospitalization of patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Methodology: As part of this quantitative research, a survey was conducted with patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Results: Patients primarily contact emergency medical services directly, bypassing their family doctor. Only 11% of patients consulted a family doctor during their illness, indicating that primary healthcare in Georgia is not sufficiently developed. Among patients who directly sought emergency services at symptom onset, 95.8% received emergency care within two hours. However, patients who consulted their family physician before hospitalization experienced shorter delays, allowing for quicker referral to emergency services compared to those who attempted self-treatment. Family doctors are more likely to recognize symptoms accurately and refer patients promptly when needed. In contrast, self-treatment—prevalent in our study (n=98, 22.5%)—is associated with longer delays (n=90, 66.7%) in accessing emergency care.
Conclusion: Public health campaigns are recommended to encourage patients with chest pain to seek immediate emergency medical assistance. For minor discomfort, consulting a family doctor is more appropriate.

Published: December 2024

19. yüzyıl gerek dünyada gerek Osmanlı Devleti’nde nüfus hareketliliğinin en yoğun yaşandığı dönemdir. Siyasi ve iktisadi bunalımlar nedeniyle yaşanan göçler ve yer değiştirmeler, nüfus sayılarının tespitini daha önemli kılmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin ilk dönemlerinden itibaren vergi mükellefi olan ve askerlik çağına gelen tebaanın tespiti amacıyla nüfus kayıtları tutulmuştur. Bu bakımdan reaya, cizye defterleri ile vilayet salnameleri ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin nüfusunun tespitine yönelik tuttuğu diğer kayıtlar kent tarihi çalışmalarında şehirlerdeki gayrimüslim nüfus yapısını anlamak için önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısından 1923 yılında Cumhuriyet’in ilanına kadar olan süreçte Kastamonu vilayeti Bolu sancağına bağlı Bartın kazasında yaşayan gayrimüslimlerin nüfus sayısı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Müslüman ve gayrimüslimlerin bir arada yaşadığı tipik bir Anadolu şehri olan Bartın’ın ilk olarak 1831-1847 yılları arasındaki gayrimüslim nüfus sayısı reaya ve cizye defterleri kullanılarak ayrıntılı bir şekilde ele alınırken, ardından 1867 yılında kaza statüsü kazandıktan sonra şehirdeki gayrimüslim sayısı da vilayet salnameleri, devlet arşivinde yer alan özel nüfus sayım belgeleri ile yabancıların tuttuğu kayıtlarla desteklenerek ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Böylece çalışmada Bartın’daki gayrimüslim nüfusun yaklaşık bir asra yakın seyri bir bütün olarak inceleme altına alınmıştır.

Published: December 2024

Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası, tek parti döneminin dönüm noktalarından biri olarak kabul edilmelidir. Cumhurbaşkanı Gazi Mustafa Kemal tarafından yakın dostu Paris Büyükelçisi Fethi (Okyar) Bey’e kurdurulan bu siyasi parti, başta Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde hükümeti denetleyebilecek bir muhalefet partisi olarak düşünülürken, kısa bir süre içerisinde geniş halk kitlelerinin desteğini almıştır. Bu destek, hükümetin uygulamalarından, ekonomiden ve ekonomiden şikayetçi olan kitlelerin kısa sürede bu partiye akmasıyla somut bir hal almaya başlamıştır. 1930 Belediye Seçimleri’ne de katılan bu parti, tek parti döneminin açık bir rekabete dayalı ilk ve tek seçiminde iktidar partisi olan Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası’nı çok zor durumda bırakmış ve iktidar açısından rejimin tehlikede görülmesine neden olacak ölçüde bir manzara ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu ortam içerisinde Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası, Gazi’nin de tarafını Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası’ndan yana olacak şekilde açık etmesinin ardından, kurucusu Fethi Bey tarafından 17 Kasım 1930 tarihinde feshedilmiş ve böylelikle tek partinin üç aylık çok partili tecrübesi son bulmuştur. Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası tecrübesi, resmi bir değerlendirme olarak ilk olarak 1931 tarihli Lise Tarih Ders Kitabı’nda yer bulurken, literatürde bir değerlendirme konusu yapılması Türkiye’nin çok partili hayata geçiş yaptığı 1945-1950 dönemi itibariyle başlamıştır. Bu dönemden itibaren Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası üzerine anılar yayımlanmaya ve akademik çalışmalar kaleme alınmaya başlanmıştır. Bugüne kadar geçen yaklaşık yetmiş yıllık süre zarfında Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası, çok sayıda kitaba, teze, makaleye ve süreli yayına konu olmuş, hakkında çokça değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Fakat Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası’na dair literatür, bütünsel olarak bir araya getirilmemiştir. Bu makale, Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası’na dair bir bibliyografya denemesi olup, doğrudan Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası üzerine kaleme alınan kitap, tez, makale ve süreli yayınları bir araya getirerek literatürün ilgisine sunmaktadır.

Sosyal Hizmet Mesleğinin Öncülerinden Jane Addams’ın Mesleğe Katkıları ve Örnek Çalışmaları
Authors: Şen Cemil Bülent , Danış Mehmet Zafer
Published: December 2024

Jane Addams, sosyal refah ve sosyal hizmet tarihinin en önemli öncülerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. 20. yüzyılın başlarında Addams, Amerika'da sosyal reformcu, kadın hakları savunucusu ve barış aktivisti rolleriyle öne çıkmıştır. 1889 yılında Chicago'da Hull House'u kurmuştur. Addams, kent yoksulluğuyla ilgili çığır açan çalışmalarına burada başlamıştır. Hull House’da mikro-mezzo ve makro düzeylerde, bireyle, grupla ve toplumla çalışma yöntem ve tekniklerini başarılı bir biçimde kullanmış, sorunların yerel ve ulusal ölçekte çözümünde sosyal politikayı bir araç olarak etkili kılmıştır. Böylelikle sosyal hizmetin koruyucu, önleyici ve rehabilite edici müdahalelerini politika yapıcılarla birlikte kalıcı çözümlere ulaştırmıştır. Bütün mücadelelerini insan hakları, eşitlik, sosyal adalet, toplumsal ve dünya barışı ve demokrasi kavramlarını kullanarak yapmıştır. Addams’ın fikirleri, felsefesi ve çalışmalarının sosyal hizmetin 2014 yılında Uluslararası Sosyal Hizmet Uzmanları Federasyonu (IFSW) ve Uluslararası Sosyal Hizmet Okulları Birliği (IASSW) tarafından yapılan son tanımı ile tamamen uyumlu olduğu görülmektedir. Addams, Amerikan Sivil Özgürlükler Birliği’nin kurulmasına katkıda bulunmuş ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin I. Dünya Savaşı'na girmesini engellemeye çalışmış ve bu nedenle ABD hükümeti tarafından radikal bir aktivist olarak damgalanmıştır. 1931 yılında, savaş karşıtı çabaları ve uluslararası barışı inşa etme çalışmaları nedeniyle Nobel Barış Ödülünü alan ilk kadın olmuştur. Sosyal hizmet eğitim kurumları müfredatlarına Jane Addams’ın mikro ve makro boyutta uyguladığı yöntemleri içeren ve beşeri bilimleri de önceleyen eğitim konularının eklenmesi ve vaka temelli uygulamaların yapılmasına ihtiyaç olduğu değerlendirilmektedir.

Günümüzde olduğu gibi antik çağda da güzel görünmek için süslenme merakı hep var olmuştur. Cam bilezikler MÖ 2. bin yıllarda özellikle kadın ve çocukların kullandığı süs eşyalarından birisiydi. Arkeolojik kazılarda oldukça fazla rastladığımız cam bilezikler hem yapım kolaylığı hem de maliyetinin azlığından dolayı sevilerek kullanılan bir takı olmuştur. Çalışma kapsamında Kahramanmaraş Müzesi’nde korunan 23 adet bezemesiz bilezik örneği üzerinden giderek bu tip bileziklerin yapım tekniği ve gelişimi konusunda bilgiler verilecektir. Renk, bezeme, teknik ve kesit olarak farklı şekillerde üretilmiş olan bilezikler uzun dönemler boyunca üretilmesinden kaynaklı olarak tarihlendirme konusunda sıkıntılar yaşanmaktadır. Cam bileziklere tarih aralığı verilirken bu aralık çok geniş olabilmektedir. Yapılan çalışma ile Kahramanmaraş Müzesi’ndeki 23 adet cam bileziğin incelenmesi yapılacak ve ardından analoji yöntemi ile eserlerin dönem özellikleri de göz önüne alınarak tarihlenecektir. 1-23 olarak verilen numaralar bileziklerin müze envanter numaralarından bağımsız olarak çalışma içerisinde kolay anlaşılırlığı sağlayabilmek adına yapılmıştır.
Protestant Clerical Marriage Customs in 16th-17th-Century Hungary
Authors: BÁTORINÉ MISÁK Marianna
Published: December 2024

In my study, I attempt to provide an insight into the marriage customs of preachers and pastors of the time. In many respects, the marriage customs of the Hungarian pastors did not follow the practice proposed by the Western Reformers, since the conditions in Hungary did not always allow for the application of this pattern. Thus, remarriage, multiple remarriages, but also a large age difference between husband and wife were not uncommon. There were practical reasons behind both. Due to the lack of sources, my research into domestic customs has encountered many obstacles and I could not aim for completeness in my work. Nevertheless, I tried to collect the most typical data from the surviving sources, which would give me a picture of the marriage customs of Hungarian Reformed clergymen and the characteristics and circumstances that shaped them.
Some Considerations on the Apostolic Visit to the Transylvanian Territories Annexed by Hungary – 1942
Authors: FLOREA Flavius Leonard
Published: December 2024

The Vienna Diktat of 30 August 1940 strained the relationship between the Holy See and the Romanian Greek Catholic Church. The Church’s canonical territory was divided between two states, Romania and Hungary, making governance by Archbishop and Metropolitan Alexandru Nicolescu nearly impossible. The new administrative-territorial configuration effectively displaced almost entirely three of the five eparchies: Oradea Mare, Cluj-Gherla, Maramureș, and part of Alba Iulia and Făgăraș, placing them under the jurisdiction of the church leadership in Blaj.
The Holy See’s decision in 1942 to send an apostolic visitor to the Transylvanian territories under Hungarian rule was intended to ascertain the true situation and demonstrated the ongoing concern of the Romanian governing bodies – the State Secretariat and the Congregation for the Eastern Churches – for defending the interests of the Romanian Church United with Rome in these territories.
The reports of Bishop Saverio Ritter, Apostolic Visitor in Transylvania, compiled following his visit between July and September 1942, offer intriguing insights into the three eparchies that came under Hungarian rule. These observations can help us avoid a politicized and ideologically driven interpretation of this period in history.
Református lelkészek a pesti cs. kir. hadbíróság előtt (1849–1855)
Authors: ZAKAR Péter
Published: December 2024

Reformed Pastors before the Imperial Court Martial of Pest (1849–1855). An overall analysis of the Calvinist victims of the reprisals following the 1848/49 revolution has not yet been made. Our study describes the investigations conducted against Calvinist pastors at the Imperial Court Martial in Pest. At the military court martial in Pest, where serious political cases were referred, a number of Calvinist pastors were also prosecuted. The date of sentencing was important, as initially death sentences were carried out as a deterrent, while later they were reduced to long prison sentences. András Kantsúr, a Calvinist pastor from Szokolya, was executed on 27 August 1849. The charges often included insulting the ruler, supporting the popular uprising, and scrupulously carrying out decrees from the Hungarian authorities. An aggravating circumstance was to have committed reprehensible acts after the dethronement. However, a careless utterance during a sermon was enough to open an investigation against the person concerned. The cases of Calvinist pastors who were prosecuted as a result of the 1848/49 War of Independence are also an indication of the important role they played therein and in the life of their local congregations.
Curriculum harmonization with ESSENTIA CURRICULUM: An approach applied to the education system at the University of Nariño
Authors: Insuasti Jesus , Zapata-Jaramillo Carlos Mario
Published: December 2024

Balancing broad learning outcomes in graduate programs with detailed classroom learning outcomes is increasingly crucial in education systems. This study employs a qualitative paradigm through a case study method to address the gap between learning outcomes at the graduate program level and those at the course level. Using the ESSENTIA CURRICULUM framework—a curriculum design methodology derived from software engineering practices—we propose an innovative and adaptable approach for aligning program-wide and course-specific learning outcomes. The ESSENTIA CURRICULUM, named for its focus on the “essence of the curriculum”, is applied to the ICT for Research course within the M.Sc. program in University Teaching at the University of Nariño. This framework fosters a consistent educational journey centered on learning achievements and demonstrates its effectiveness through a comprehensive self-assessment process and stakeholder feedback. The implications of this research are twofold: it highlights the potential of adopting interdisciplinary methodologies for curriculum design and provides a scalable and alternative strategy for harmonizing learning outcomes across diverse educational contexts. By bridging principles from software engineering into education, this novel approach offers new avenues for improving curriculum coherence and applicability.

Published: December 2024

In light of the growing challenges posed by the variable nature of wind and solar energy outputs alongside the inconsistent patterns of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, this study introduces a groundbreaking approach to cooperative scheduling between wind-solar energy systems and EVs. Departing from traditional optimization models that primarily concentrate on operational efficiency, our research innovatively incorporates passenger travel preferences into the equation when determining EV charging demands, thereby optimizing renewable energy utilization.Our methodology involves employing a sophisticated optimization strategy that meticulously considers the stochastic behavior of wind and solar resources and unique EV characteristics. This process uses a state-of-the-art scenario construction technique to manage renewable energy uncertainties, complemented by an enhanced fast forward-backward elimination algorithm to efficiently condense the number of scenarios analyzed. We further refine this model by examining the travel behaviors and needs of EV users in a community setting to develop a user satisfaction metric that seamlessly aligns travel convenience with the financial implications of charging and discharging cycles.Significantly, our work has culminated in the establishment of a bi-level optimization framework that simultaneously reduces power system network losses and elevates overall user satisfaction concerning travel experiences. This novel model effectively orchestrates the integration of wind-solar energy outputs with EV charging necessities, thereby enhancing the economic robustness of the power system and ensuring a higher level of consumer satisfaction. Ultimately, this research contributes to the sustainable and efficient operation of future power systems where renewable energy and electric mobility play pivotal roles.
Industry or Profession? Applying Social Contract Theory to Financial Planning in Australia
Authors: Craft Amanda , Taylor Sharon , Ibbett Nicole
Published: December 2024

The Australian financial planning industry has been subject to increasingly rigorous forms of government regulation. This paper applies social contract theory to assess whether financial planning can be considered a profession based on its current form. Social contract theory, which intertwines professional status with the promotion of the public good and delivering altruistic service to society, serves as the theoretical framework for this evaluation. Through an analysis of the financial planning industry’s regulatory environment and its response to public inquiries, this paper concludes that while strides have been made, significant gaps remain that prevent financial planning from being recognised as a full-fledged profession.
Determining chromatic index of cubic graph with the use of explainable classifiers: A comparative study
Authors: Dudáš A. , Modrovičová B.
Published: December 2024

Proper edge 3-coloring of a cubic graph is an NP-complete problem, which can be used in order to model several interesting practical problems. A method for correct and efficient assigning of variables used in the program to registers of the system, scheduling of a set of tasks to a set of processors while each task has to be executed on a number of processors simultaneously, or frequency assignment of radio stations without interference are all typical instances of problems modelled by graph coloring. When considering cubic graphs, which consist of vertices incident to precisely three edges, we can identify two distinct graph groups divided by their chromatic index, a minimal number of colors needed for the proper coloring of such graph. In the research presented in this article, we conduct a comparative study of the effectiveness of machine learning classifiers in the task of determining the chromatic index of cubic graphs, present an evaluation of the accuracy and precision of these models, and use the Shapley Additive Explanations model for the identification of graph attributes and their values crucial in the models’ decision making.
Control chart for generalized exponential distribution based on modified chain sampling
Authors: Rao G. Srinivasa , Aslam M. , Kirigiti J. Peter
Published: December 2024

In recent years, modern statistical process control has established higher concentration, and this approach is reinforced by new control charts to efficiently monitor the process. The goal of this article is to create a control chart based on a modified chain sampling plan (MchSP) when product quality dimensions are followed by a generalized exponential distribution. There was a brief overview of the generalized exponential distribution (GED) and the modified chain sampling strategy. The chart parameters were presented for several sample sizes at various average run length (ARL) values. A variety of tables were provided for the actual application of the produced control chart in industrial applications at various shift values of scale and form parameters. The real data set was used to demonstrate the application of the created MchSP control chart process. In addition, the proposed MchSP control chart process was developed using simulated data. The average run length (ARL) results of the established control chart for shifting both scale and shape parameters were computed for various sample sizes. The results show that when the shift constant (both scale and form) increases, the ARL values decrease. Also, it was discovered that ARL1 values tend to decrease as the shape parameter value increases.

Published: December 2024

Herein, epoxy coatings modified with milled aluminum (Al) were tested for their mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. First, milling was performed on the as-received Al powder for 70 h. The obtained powder postmilling was added to DGEBA-type epoxy resin and cured with an amine-based D450 hardener. The milled Al powder was added in varying weight percentages (1, 2, and 3%). Different types of panels were coated using an automatic film applicator to obtain controlled film thickness and left for curing. Morphological characterization was done using field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Thermal stability of the coatings was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis. Mechanical properties were measured using conventional testing techniques as well as nanoindentation. The analysis results suggest that milling of Al alters the structure of powder postmilling. The milling operations also have an effect on the mechanical and anticorrosion properties of the materials. The results obtained for the prepared modified coating suggest that addition of 2 wt% in the epoxy resulted in balanced mechanical and anticorrosion properties.

Published: December 2024

Herein, based on the strengthening mechanism and aging mechanism of 9% Cr steel, changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties during long-term high-temperature service are analyzed. The limitations of current microstructure observation in the aging rating process and the defects of the aging evaluation system are expounded. It is proposed that the aging evaluation of 9% Cr martensitic heat-resistant steel can distinguish between the abnormal microstructure and the aging phenomenon occurring during long-term operation, and the combination of higher resolution microscopy observation such as laser confocal scanning microscopy with mechanical property tests could provide a comprehensive judgement.

Authors: Nomvussi Serge Ayme Kouakouo , Mikulka Jan
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a novel cascade algorithm for image reconstruction in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) using radial basis function neural networks. The first subnetwork applies a density-based algorithm and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) to determine the center and width of the radial basis function neural networks, with the aim of preventing ill-conditioned connection weights between the hidden and output layers. The second subnetwork is a generalized regression neural network dedicated to functional approximation. The combined subnetworks result in a reduced mean square error and achieve an accuracy of 89.54 % without noise and an accuracy between 82.90 % and 89.53 % with noise levels ranging from 30 to 60 dB. In comparison, the original radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN) method achieves an accuracy of 85.44 % without noise and between 80.90 % and 85.31 % under similar noise conditions. The total variation (TV) method achieves 83.13 % without noise, with noise-influenced accuracy ranging from 34.28 % to 45.15 %. The Gauss-Newton method achieves 82.35 % accuracy without noise, with accuracy ranging from 33.21 % to 46.15 % in the presence of noise. The proposed method proves to be resilient to various types of noise, including white Gaussian noise, impulsive noise, and contact noise, and consistently delivers superior performance. It also outperforms the other methods in noise-free conditions. The reliability of the method in noisy environments supports its potential application in the development of new modular systems for electrical impedance tomography.

Published: December 2024

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements are most often used to measure images or display the spectrum of different samples. Depending on the samples, these can be medical applications, chemistry, physics, or mineralogy. Perhaps the most beneficial use is in medicine, as it allows you to image the inside of living organs without interfering with them. When physically examining samples, the frequency spectrum of the sample is often measured, which is then converted into a map of the inhomogeneities in the layer of interest. This article addresses one of several similar problems.
The Ways of Perceiving Children and Childhood. From Asociality Towards Socialization
Authors: Jaszczyszyn Elżbieta
Published: December 2024

abstract

Performing the analyses of selected ways of perceiving children and childhood is deemed to be important and prosocial within the framework of social sciences. In the process of the changing understanding of the terms “child” and “childhood” as well as promoting the treatment of children as full-fledged members of the community, the process of informing, convincing, and shaping social behaviours is of considerable importance. The results of the analyses of the outcome of research involving children (childhood studies) contribute to inducing changes, e.g. when it comes to the treatment of children or modifying/changing the process of their education and upbringing; notably, establishing who a child is as well as highlighting the distinct features of childhood, and how these features influence the shaping of public opinion. It may contribute to a gradual overcoming of the stereotypes in the perception of children and childhood. Children are equal members of society, and their views on the present are worth knowing.

Authors: Jakubowska Emilia
Published: December 2024

abstract

Regional education is an enduring process, which serves to introduce children into the cultural world of their most immediate society, while simultaneously preparing them for a life as part of a community. Regional education enables a better understanding of individuals hailing from the local community as well as makes it easier for students to find answers to the questions: Who are they? What are their roots? According to what values do people from their family and locality act? How does the culture they were born and raised into differ from those found in other regions of Poland? This article demonstrates the importance and benefits of regional education as well as the employment of project method in regional education, on the basis of particular methodological approaches. The present paper draws from literature concerned with regional education subject area as well as early childhood education, along with project method. This article is also based upon the information acquired through cooperation with the Municipal (Polish: Gminny) Cultural Centre in Michałowo and Władysław Syrokomla Primary School in Michałowo as well as conversations with residents and local activists.
“No one Knows us More than We Know Ourselves” —The Image of the Child and Childhood in the Perception of Primary School Students, Grades 1–3

abstract

The image of the child and childhood is one of the key research issues in the social sciences, constituting an important aspect that shapes our understanding of the development and upbringing of children. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study on the image of the child and childhood from the perspective of primary school students in grades 1–3, based on the conducted group interviews. The respondents present the image of the child and childhood in a realistic way, taking into account various concepts, visions and ways of thinking about the child. The interviewees pointed out a number of advantages and disadvantages of being a child, relating them to the special qualities of being a child and to relationships with adults. The children’s statements revealed their beliefs built on their own experiences.
Delving into Secondary School EFL Teachers’ Practices Facilitated by Task-Based Language Instruction
Authors: Syla Rrita
Published: December 2024

The implementation of Task-Based Instruction (TBI) has resulted in a productive transformation for many foreign language teachers, since it emphasizes the importance of context and meaningful language use. This study presents an overview of the Task-Based Instruction, provides a framework and elaborates task characteristics. It investigates secondary school EFL teachers’ experiences with the task-based approach through semi-structured interviews. The results show that despite the fact that some teachers are not trained in Task-Based Teaching, they are eager to implement this approach due to the fact that it enhances the communicative competency and provides students with maximized ways of using the target language. The results show that this pedagogical transformation necessitates material adaptation, as well as careful task design, planning and preparation. As per the examination procedure, it is evident that task-based teaching is not created with examination in mind. Its aim is to support students in using English outside the classroom, even if the language they produce is not always grammatically accurate. It is possible to prepare learners for examinations through form-focused activities which are accompanied by tasks and later on reflected in the examination. Above all, Task-Based Instruction is concerned with learners’ ability to use language effectively. Therefore, this paper considers some key areas for future research, and it stresses the need for teacher training, in order for successful implementation to take place.
The Division of Marital Joint Property: Legal Framework and Gender Implications in North Macedonia
Authors: Metaj-Stojanova Albana
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the legal framework governing the division of joint ownership in marital property in North Macedonia, with a particular focus on gender implications. It critically analyzes the Family Law Act and the Law on Ownership and Other Real Rights to assess how these provisions function during marriage dissolution due to divorce or death. By employing a qualitative, legal-analytical approach, the research assesses legislative texts and relevant case law to explore the extent to which current laws ensure equitable property division, irrespective of gender or economic contribution. In addition to legal analysis, the research utilizes case law to highlight and illustrate discrepancies between the law’s theoretical principle of equal division and its real-world application, particularly where traditional gender roles are concerned. It discusses how traditional expectations around women’s unpaid contributions, such as caregiving and household management, often result in outcomes that disadvantage women. Women, especially those who have forgone paid employment to fulfill domestic roles, face significant challenges in securing an equal share of marital property.

The study emphasizes the need for legal reforms that better account for these disparities, promoting fairness in the division of joint ownership and greater protection for vulnerable parties. This research contributes to ongoing discussions on property rights and gender equality, proposing reforms that align the legal framework with international human rights standards.

To provide a broader perspective, the study includes a comparative analysis of property division practices in selected jurisdictions, situating North Macedonia's approach within an international framework. This examination not only underscores the need for greater consistency in judicial interpretation but also contributes to ongoing discussions on property rights and marital equity by proposing specific areas for legal reform. The originality of this study lies in its detailed, context-specific analysis of North Macedonian property division laws, offering unique insights and practical recommendations for enhancing the fairness and effectiveness of the legal framework within the context of international human rights standards.
Parteienpositionen: Annäherung in der Mitte und zunehmende Distanz zur AfD
Authors: Maydell Richard von
Published: December 2024

As fringe parties increasingly capture a larger portion of the votes, the issue of how centrist parties can set themselves apart from these extremes while establishing distinct characteristics has become more prominent in public and political debates. Despite analyses of programmatic overlaps between various parties indicating a separation of centrist parties from the far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany), there is no clear evidence that centrist parties hold uniquely defined stances among themselves. In this context, we have not observed a sharpening of the programmatic profiles of centrist parties since 2002.
Inflation in Deutschland – eine empirische Bilanz
Authors: Erbe Susanne
Published: December 2024

Measuring and explaining inflation is of great importance for political and economic decision makers. Various price indices are compiled at the national and European level, some of which show significantly different price trends due to their different focuses. The sharp rise in inflation rates since 2021 is primarily due to supply-side factors, in particular the sharp rise in energy prices. This is illustrated by the differences in the development of the VPI and core inflation. The price brakes on gas and electricity in particular have had a direct dampening effect on inflation, while the ECB’s restrictive policy has had a more indirect effect. Although the inflation rate has fallen significantly by now, price pressure could come from a tightening of free trade due to increasing protectionism in the long term.
