Authors: BRETAN Bianca Doris 
Published: December 2024

Teaching and Learning Legal English with AI: A Case Study on Student Engagement in an ESAP Course. Educators recognize that 2020 was a pivotal year for the advancement of digital teaching methods. A significant aspect of this development is the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms grounded in large language models (LLMs), which are viewed by many as potentially transformative for education. Concerns have arisen regarding how these tools could affect academic integrity and the originality of student writing. Many people question the assumption that such technologies could support student learning. This study aims to explore this topic further by investigating the following question: How can the incorporation of AI improve student engagement in English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) classes? The answer is provided through small-scale research conducted on a group of first-year Law students who took part in a Legal English ESAP course. Quantitative and qualitative data provided by two questionnaires, an interview and a class observation protocol are analyzed to show students’ learning engagement with AI tools. The research highlights the benefits offered by AI to Legal English instruction.

Predarea și învățarea limbii engleze pentru domeniul juridic cu ajutorul inteligenței artificiale: studiu de caz asupra gradului de implicare al studenților care urmează un curs de engleză specializată la nivel universitar. Specialiștii în educație admit că anul 2020 a marcat o cotitură in învățământ datorită adoptării pedagogiei digitale. Un subiect la fel de recent și actual este cel al folosirii platformelor dedicate inteligenței artificiale bazată pe modele lingvistice pre-definite în educație. Acest fapt a fost perceput ca îngrijorător mai ales din punct de vedere al integrității academice în ceea ce privește autenticitatea produsului final. S-a pus chiar problema utilității acestui tip de instrument în predare-învățare. Studiul de față dorește să discute acest din urmă aspect răspunzând la următoarea întrebare: cum ar putea fi utilizată inteligența artificială pentru a impulsiona implicarea studenților în cadrul unui curs de limbaj de specialitate? Articolul de față își propune să răspundă întrebării instrumentând un studiu de caz de mici dimensiuni, bazat pe un eșantion format din studenți din anul întâi de la Facultatea de Drept. Colectarea de date s-a făcut prin utilizarea de chestionare, interviuri și un protocol de observare la clasă. Studiul dorește să evidențieze avantajele oferite de utilizarea inteligenței artificiale.

Authors: Herasymchuk Halyna , Mazepa Vasyl , Tolstushko Nataliya 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Today, the unique highly productive pine-oak and hornbeam-oak stands in Volynsk Polissia have been preserved in separate areas of the Tsumanska Pushcha Kivertsi National Nature Park (NNP) and need protection, regeneration and study of their condition and productivity at various stages of development. The objects of research were pine-oak and hornbeam-oak stands growing in different types of forests of the NNP. Forest management materials of the park for 2018 and typological analysis methodology were used for the study of the stands. The distribution of stands according to age classes and predominant species and stand density was carried. It was determined that productivity of stands with oak participation and forest typological potential in different types of forest is used by 82%–91%. In the wet and fresh hornbeam-oak-pine fairly fertile forest site type and wet hornbeam fairly fertile oak forest type the average actual volume of stands reaches the greatest value in the ninth age class (382, 350 and 309 m3 ha−1). From the tenth age class and older there is a decrease of the average actual stand stock. Mature and overmature pine-oak stands of a wet fairly fertile site type are characterised by low productivity. As a result of non-observance of the formation and improvement felling rules of forests, secondary stands were formed in the NNP. The share of secondary stands in the most widespread forest types is 66%–78%. Pine, red oak, birch and alder dominate in the secondary stands. Spruce, aspen, hornbeam, ash, linden, larch and acacia grow in small forest areas. Secondary stands of hornbeam fertile oak forest type are formed by middle-aged red oak and fir. In order to increase the productivity and stability of stands with the participation of English oak in the conditions of the NNP, it is necessary to transform secondary stands into primary stands. The study of the features of the formation of the primary stands based on the principles of close to nature forestry is a prospect for further research.
Comparative efficiency of roundwood processing into pallet lumber
Authors: Stanula Zygmunt , Wieruszewski Marek , Dynowska Joanna , Adamowicz Krzysztof 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article is an attempt to determine the impact of market changes and sawnwood production on the utilisation of a limited supply of wood raw material, taking into account coniferous species and selected grades found on the market for the production of pallet lumber. The proposal to include the raw material value factor in the econometric model provides a measurable benchmark. Closed efficiency through the criterion of maximising the added value of wood in industrial processing takes into account the parameters that shape the impact of the value of the product and wood raw material. This criterion is derived from the supply of roundwood and customer demand for particular species and grades. The efficiency index is a reference to the price factors of market change over a variable period of time with the ability to forecast the direction of change.

Authors: Czyżewska-Dors Ewelina Barbara , Augustyniak Agata , Piekutowska-Nóżka Ewa , Jężak Joanna , Kowalczyk Ewelina , Jabłoński Artur 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction
This study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae among wild boars inhabiting Poland.

Material and Methods
Serum samples were collected from 281 wild boars of varying ages (juveniles, adolescents and adults) and subjected to testing using a commercial indirect ELISA assay.

Results
The prevalence of E. rhusiopathiae antibodies was notably high, reaching 75.1% overall and varying slightly across different age categories (90.0% in juveniles, 70.7% in adolescents and 79.6% in adults). Despite these variations, no statistically significant differences were observed among age groups (P-value > 0.05).

Conclusion
The elevated prevalence of E. rhusiopathiae identified in this study underscores the significance of wild boars as natural reservoirs of this bacterium. Further investigations are warranted to identify the risk factors associated with disease transmission to other species, including humans.
Taking Stock of 30 Years of CEE Transformation: Institutionalisation of Public Sector Integrity Management in Estonia
Authors: Saarniit Leno , Sarapuu Külli 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article takes an in-depth look at integrity management reforms in the context of Central and Eastern European post-communist transformation. Despite the centrality of integrity management for post-communist administrative change, there is only limited longitudinal research on the topic and no ready-made theoretical frameworks available for analysis. The article tackles both gaps. By relying on an analytical framework that combines values-based and compliance-based systems, integrity management functions, and factors of institutional change, the study examines the institutionalisation of public sector integrity management in Estonia. The article concludes that the development of the Estonian system and its evolution from an initial compliance-based approach towards a more values-based approach has been shaped by a combination of factors: the desire to overcome the country’s communist legacy, pressure and examples from the international level, and the strategies of politico-administrative actors. Reliance on a system with “softer” instruments has been facilitated by radical changes in the initial phase of transformation, a decrease in the level of corruption, the constraints of a decentralised administrative system, and an increase in administrative capacity and expertise.
Impact of Drug Eluting Stents’ Length and Diameter on Short Term Outcome in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Authors: Abdel-Galeel Ahmed , Deyaa-eldeen Nada , Fouad Doaa Ahmed , Mahmoud Marwan S. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Little information is available on the impact of drug eluting stents (DES) on Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Aim was to assess the impact of stent length and diameter on angiographic and MACE outcomes during in-hospital & short term follow up in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).

Methods
This is a single-center prospective observational study that included 404 patients who underwent primary PCI. Exclusion criteria were previous PCI, ectatic lesions, multi-vessel disease, and complex lesions. Stent length was divided into <20 mm, 20 - 40 mm and > 40 mm. Stent diameter was divided into < 3.0 mm, 3.0 – 3.5 mm and > 3.5 mm. Outcomes include angiographic data, e.g slow flow/no-reflow (SF-NR), and in-hospital and 3 months’ follow up MACE assessment.

Results
404 patients (79% males, mean age 56 ± 11.35 years) were included. There was higher incidence of SF-NR (P=0.016), pre-dilatation (P= 0.01), median door to device time (P=0.011), median of onset of chest pain to wire time (P=<0.001), mean procedure time (P=<0.001) and mean contrast amount (P=0.013) for longer stents vs. medium and shorter stents. Patients having longer stents had significantly higher incidence of recurrent attacks of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during the follow up period (P=0.003), and no significant difference was detected regarding other MACEs. Side branch compromise was more prevalent in larger diameter stents (P=0.042). In-hospital and 3 months’ follow up MACE incidence was similar.

Conclusion
Long DESs during PPCI are associated with higher incidence of SF-NR, however stent diameter has no impact on outcomes.

Authors: Putri Nabilah Mustika , Rahmawati Yuli , Irwanto Irwanto 
Published: December 2024

This study aims to identify the misconceptions of 10th-grade students of a Senior High School (SMA N 1) Ciawi Bogor on chemical bonding by using a two-tier diagnostic test consisting of nine questions. The research method that was carried out was quantitative research with a descriptive approach. The participants of this study were classes X-2, X-4, and X-8 of SMAN 1 Ciawi in the academic year 2023/2024, with a total sample of 96 students taken from three classes using purposive sampling. Moderate misconceptions concerning ionic bonding have been discovered in the responses provided by the students for questions 1 and 2, with percentages of 37.50 and 34.38%, respectively. In Question 3, which covered lattice and intermolecular forces on silicon carbide, misconceptions among students were found to be 72.92%, indicating a high level of misconception. The percentage of students experiencing misconceptions about ionic bonding in question 4 (58.33%) was considered moderate. Students' misconceptions about bonding and intermolecular forces on magnesium oxide were determined to be relatively low, at 30.21%. Students who experienced misconceptions about the conductivity of graphite (Question 6) were 43.75%, which can be categorized as moderate misconceptions. In Question 7 about sulfur, student misconceptions were observed at 15.63%, but there were 47.92% who did not have prior knowledge about sulfur as a simple molecular compound. When asked about the differences in intermolecular forces on water and hydrogen sulfide, the percentage of students who had misconceptions was observed at 50.00%, then on the concept of lattice and intermolecular forces on macromolecules at 25.00%. These results are also influenced by students' prior knowledge of macromolecules, which is quite limited. Teachers and educators can employ some potential futuristic instructional methods to help students understand chemical bonding more efficiently, such as implementing VR and AR simulations, integration of gamification and game-based learning, and virtual field trips and interactive demonstrations.
Communicative Strategies in West and East German Historical (Biographical) Discourse
Authors: Movchan M. К. 
Published: December 2024

The article presents the results of analyzing East and West German historical biographies from the narrative point of view, exemplified by texts devoted to the same historical personalities but composed in two different parts of Germany. Within the general narrative strategy, specific strategies such as explanation, informing, self-presentation, objectification and evaluation have been singled out. They are realized by communicative tactics such as rational argumentation, personalization, describing evaluation criteria, ascribing evaluative characteristics, appealing to personal or group opinion leaders, appealing to possible past, comparison, tentativeness, attracting attention and indirect address.
