Authors: Kozioł Michał , Kozioł Joachim 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The publication analyses and evaluates the impact of the implementation of circular economy on the economy and especially on its mining and power generation sector in Poland. Circular economy is a relatively new concept concerning an innovative economic development model. The publication briefly describes the concept of circular economy. Among other things, the basic economic processes that make up circular economy are discussed. In addition, history is presented as well as examples of legislation that have had the strongest impact on the implementation of circular economy in the EU are identified. Further on in the paper, the impact that circular economy will have on the mining and power generation industry in Poland is discussed. Areas have been identified that will need the most attention in relation to the implementation of circular economy. It was pointed out that in the mining and power generation sector the scale of use of current and landfill waste should be increased as a priority. Attention has been paid to the necessary reduction of water demand and rational water and sewage management. Examples of use of mining gas and ventilation air have been discussed. The publication provides examples of a number of measures taken in accordance with circular economy. It was pointed out that there is still a need to popularize the existing ones and to look for new technical and organizational solutions conducive to the introduction of this new economic model. An important aspect of the impact of the circular economy on these sectors will be the decrease in energy demand resulting from the widespread implementation of the new economic model. For those already struggling with a number of problems of some of the mining and power generation sectors based on coal mining and combustion in Poland, the implementation of circular economy will pose another challenge.

Abstract
The literature includes a wide selection and distribution of performance indicators to be used in different areas of the company. The paper highlights the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as those that are the most universal and allow the control of intended targets in different areas of the enterprise. KPIs are financial and non-financial process measures used to assess the degree of achievement with regard to strategic and operational objectives in a company. They are also used to measure the effectiveness of all activities undertaken in an organizational unit. The paper presents the possibility of using KPIs to improve the quality of manufactured products, by analyzing the trend of selected indicators. This analysis gave an impulse to undertake improvement actions in the company consisting in the use of quality management method – in this case 5 WHY leading to the initiation of preventive and corrective actions in the occurrence of defective products.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
In this paper, the authors focused on the assessment of the individual methods to prevent coal and gas outbursts. The first part deals with a characteristic of this anomalous phenomenon and some basic methods of coal and gas outburst prevention. The second part presents the economic assessment of the costs necessary to ensure the possible prevention methods in the coalface 080 211 in the locality of the Paskov Mine, Mining Plant 3, OKD as, Czech Republic. In this coalface, a simulation method was used for calculating costs for the drift length of 100 m for the use of various prevention methods (irrigation, relief boreholes, relief blasting). The results show the cost of preventive measures during mining intended to eliminate and protect against the formation of coal and gas outbursts. The measures are compared applying the principle of the decision analysis. Four criteria are used for the mutual comparison of the methods (costs, effort, efficiency, time consumption). The comparison has shown that the optimal method to prevent coal and gas outbursts is irrigation.
The Barcelona Disputation: Texts and Contexts
Authors: Caputo Nina 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Scholars of Jewish history have paid consistent and devoted attention to the Barcelona Disputation of 1263. Records of this event preserve contemporary Jewish and Christian responses to the proceedings, which pitted Nahmanides, the most important exegete and teacher of the region, against a convert from Judaism to Christianity, took place in the royal court before an illustrious audience. This essay traces trends in scholarly treatments of the Barcelona Disputation from the early days of the Wissenschaft des Judentums to the present. By examining challenges of veracity posed by the documentary sources as well as foundational assumptions about what the medieval authors intended to achieve with their accounts, this article provides broad overview of the historiography that has developed around the Barcelona Disputation.
The role of education in reducing poverty social exclusion
Authors: Marin Ioana 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Education provides a stable foundation for developing the societies of tomorrow, having a dual function since it fosters economic growth and represents a crucial instrument also for ensuring the stability of a society in terms of human welfare. The research was carried out through an econometric analysis based on a questionnaire as a quantitative measure. Through this study we intended to identify the standpoints of teachers activating in the Romanian pre-university education system and who activate in Bucharest and Prahova, on the research subject as well as correlations that exist between the study variables. Some key issues addressed by the study were determining the extent to which teachers believe that education can reduce poverty and social exclusion, measures that can minimize poverty and strategies for reshaping the educational services to improve their suitability for students. The results have shown that education can indeed promote the reduction of social issues but it steadily needs to be reformed to fulfil its scope. The findings can be of interest for institutions that establish legislative procedures in the educational field and can help to regenerate Romanian education. For the present-time societies, enabling social and economic wellbeing is both a target and a challenge, due to the persistent need of remaining competitive and the ongoing legal and economic reorganizations that appear during every country’s existence.
Current Use of Modern Family Planning and Fertility Intention Among Women Farmers of Reproductive Age in Ido and Ona-ara Local Government Areas of Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim Fausat Motunrayo 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Although poor use of contraceptives and high desire for children is characteristic of sub-Saharan Africa, this demographic challenge is more peculiar to more disadvantaged segments of the population like rural farmers. This study was designed to examine current use of modern family planning and fertility intention among women farmers of reproductive age in Ido and Ona-ara Local Government Areas of Ibadan, Nigeria. Using cross-sectional survey design, semi-structured questionnaire were administered via structured-interview to randomly and systematically selected 408 respondents. Chi-square was used to show significance of associations between pairs of variables. Contingency co-efficient was used to examine extent of significant associations. Results indicate that majority of respondents (77%) desired additional children, the mean number of children that respondents already have is 2.94±1.35 while mean fertility intention is 1.85±1.44. The proportion of current users of modern family planning is 45.6%. The use of oral pills (30.6%) is most popular among respondents. There is no significant association between current use of modern family planning and fertility intention among married and divorced respondents, among respondents in all the age sub-groups, and among respondents with no formal education or secondary education (p > 0.05), but there is among respondents with primary and tertiary education (p < 0.05). The synergy between the use of modern family planning and fertility intention among women farmers in the study area is notable but requires significant progression. Having primary education and tertiary education is significantly associated respectively with lower and higher use of modern family planning in relation to fertility intention. Education is an important element of fertility dynamics among women farmers in the study area.

Published: August 2020

The digital image processing technique is a product of computing technology development. Medical image data processing based on a computer is a product of computing technology development that can help a doctor to diagnose and observe a patient. This study aimed to perform classification on the image of the thorax by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The data used in this study is lung thorax images that have previously been diagnosed by a doctor with two classes, namely normal and pneumonia. The amount of data is 2.200, 1.760 for training, and 440 for testing. Three stages are used in image processing, namely scaling, gray scaling, and scratching. This study used Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method with architecture ResNet-50. In the field of object recognition, CNN is the best method because it has the advantage of being able to find its features of the object image by conducting the convolution process during training. CNN has several models or architectures; one of them is ResNet-50 or Residual Network. The selection of ResNet-50 architecture in this study aimed to reduce the loss of gradients at certain network-level depths during training because the object is a chest image of X-Ray that has a high level of visual similarity between some pathology. Moreover, several visual factors also affect the image so that to produce good accuracy requires a certain level of depth on the CNN network. Optimization during training used Adaptive Momentum (Adam) because it had a bias correction technique that provided better approximations to improve accuracy. The results of this study indicated the thorax image classification with an accuracy of 97.73%.

Authors: Ashraf Mohammad , Choudhary Nabeel , Hussain Syed Shahzad , Kamboh Usman Ahmad , Ashraf Naveed 
Published: August 2020

Background:
Intraoperative imaging addresses the limitations of frameless neuronavigation systems by providing real-time image updates. With the advent of new multidetector intraoperative computed tomography (CT), soft tissue can be visualized far better than before. We report the early departmental experience of our intraoperative CT scanner’s use in a wide range of technically challenging neurosurgical cases.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the data of all patients in whom intraoperative CT scanner was utilized. Out of 31 patients, 24 (77.4%) were cranial and 8 (22.6%) spinal cases. There were 13 male (41.9%) and 18 (58.1%) female patients, age ranged from 1 to 83 years with a mean age of 34.29 years ±17.54 years. Seven patients underwent spinal surgery, 2 cases were of orbital tumors, and 16 intra-axial brain tumors, including 5 low- grade gliomas, 10 high-grade gliomas, and 1 colloid cyst. There were four sellar lesions and two multiloculated hydrocephalus.

Results:
The intraoperative CT scan guided us to correct screw placement and was crucial in managing four complex spinal instabilities. In intracranial lesions, 59% of cases were benefitted due to intraoperative CT scan. It helped in the precise placement of ventricular catheter in multiloculated hydrocephalus and external ventricular drain for a third ventricular colloid cyst.

Conclusion:
Intraoperative CT scan is safe and logistically and financially advantageous. It provides versatile benefits allowing for safe and maximal surgery, requiring minimum changes to an existing neurosurgical setup. Intraoperative CT scan provides clinical benefit in technically difficult cases and has a smooth workflow.

Rendahnya kemampuan siswa pada pelajaran agama harus dicarikan solusinya. Salah satunya yang terjadi di SDN 4 Bajur, Keacamatan Labuapi, Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Sebagian besar siswa di sini memiliki kemampuan rendah dalam pelajaran agama. Maka dari itu perlu dilakukan upaya tindakan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam memahami pelajaran agama. Tindakan yang dilakukan adalah menerapkan Model Cooperative Team Games Tournament (TGT) pada pembelajaran. Penelitian ini didesain dalam bentuk penelitian tindakan kelas. Masalah utama dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah penerapan model Cooperative Team Games Tournament dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa kelas V di SDN 4 Bajur? Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan tiga siklus. Pada masing-masing siklus terdiri dari empat tahapan yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi dan refleksi. Subjek dalam penelitian ini aalah siswa kelas V dengan jumlah siswa 26. Indikator keberhasilan tindakan dalam penelitian ini antara lain: 1. Jika minimal 75% dari keseluruhan siswa yang menjadi subjek penelitian telah mencapai ketuntasan. Ketuntasan individual ditetapkan 75%, sedangkan ketuntasan klasikal ditetapkan sebesar 85%. 2. Jika terdapat perubahan atau peningkatan prestasi belajar bagi siswa berkemanpuan rendah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setelah dilakukan tiga siklus terdapat peningkatan kemampuan klasikal. Pada siklus pertama ketuntasan klasikal 26%, siklus kedua 62% dan siklus ketiga 96%. Prestasi belajar siswa berkemampuan rendah juga telah mengalami peningkatan. Selama tiga kali siklus hanya satu siswa yang dinyatakan tidak tuntas. Berdasarkan dua indikator tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan model TGT berhasil meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.
