Abstract
The article examines the complexities associated with effectively and comprehensively tackling the climate change crisis. Focusing on the need for education, the authors discuss a model of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) that supports the development of competencies, coalition building and the capacity to support and maintain positive action. Drawing upon principles highlighted by the United Nations, the paper outlines the breadth and depth of knowledge required to support transformative ESD. Firstly enhancing comprehensive knowledge that develops cognitive, affective and axiological dimensions and proficiency. This enhances critical engagement with information and enables individuals to act responsibly and align with others in coalition building. The second element refers to collaborative partnership that is crucial for changes to be effective. This has been one of the most challenging barriers preventing positive action on the catastrophe pf climate change. Finally, the paper emphasizes the need to develop the competencies for supporting collective action, which will enable sustained action across transnational, transdisciplinary and transnational boundaries.
Intellectual Capital in Terms of Regional Development of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Veselinović Petar , Veljković Marija 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Empirical research of intellectual capital in term of regional development of the Republic of Serbia aims to show and explain the function of intellectual capital in the regional development of the Republic of Serbia, and point out the disparities of national regions in terms of economic development and intellectual capital resources. Intellectual capital today is one of the most important social subsystems, which, by its scope and influence, is gaining an increasing importance in the development of modern society. As a complex, dynamic human process of knowledge use, intellectual capital is tied to the notion of “new knowledge-based economy”. Intellectual capital at the macroeconomic level is a new area of research that focuses on understanding, measuring, and reporting on intangible assets that may have an impact on the creation of national wealth. The concept of intellectual capital is abstract, unambiguous and complex, which leads to numerous differences in the interpretation of this economic category. The results of empirical research confirmed that intellectual capital is in a significant linear functional relationship with economic growth in the Republic of Serbia - in 63.5% of cases, economic growth is explained by intellectual capital resources in the period 2012-2018. Also, the research confirmed significant inequalities in the development and available resources of intellectual capital in the regions of the Republic of Serbia.
Accounting Policies in the Function of Quality Assessment of Financial Statements
Authors: Raičević Jelena 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Financial statements represent an instrument by which relevant information about a company is passed on to its users. Based on the information presented in the financial statements, i.e. information on the financial position and performance of the company, and generated cash flows and capital, users make business decisions. Specific accounting policies serve as the basis for the preparation of quality financial statements. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial statements and selects accounting policies. Although simple, the issue of choosing the accounting policies can be extremely delicate and complex. Besides management, there are other stakeholders who may be affected by this issue. As a consequence, there are complex relationships that affect the choice of accounting policies, and thus the quality of financial statements.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The application of ultrasonic methods in veterinary medicine, especially in the therapy of dogs, is the main objective of this study. We compared the frequency of therapeutic ultrasound using in rehabilitation as well as in microsurgical interventions of dogs in Slovakian and Hungarian veterinary practices. Regarding to the evaluation of survey realized in restricted regions, the ultrasound therapies and interventions are currently used in Slovakia less than in Hungary. Our study could start a change in this unfavourable aspect in Slovakian veterinary medicine and contribute to a better promotion of ultrasound application in the therapy of animals.
Selection of the Most Reliable Method for the Analysis of Inhibitory Substances in Raw and Skimmed Milk
Authors: Hriciková S. , Kožárová I. 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Milk used for human consumption must comply with the European Union legislative requirements for residues of inhibitory substances in milk, the values of which must not exceed the established maximum residue limit. In order to ensure the quality and safety of milk and milk products placed on the market, the presence of residues of inhibitory substances should be monitored and verified. The aim of our study was to select the most reliable method for the analysis of residues of inhibitory substances in milk. In the search for the most reliable method, a total of 49 milk samples were tested in the form of raw milk, skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder throughout the agri-food chain. For comparison, the microbial inhibition tests Eclipse 50, Eclipse Farm, Explorer 2.0, Delvotest®, Premi®Test and the fast receptor screening test TwinSensor were used. The most relevant results were obtained by the Eclipse 50 and Eclipse Farm tests, the reliability of which were also confirmed by the Explorer 2.0 and Premi®Test tests. Moreover, according to the State Veterinary and Food Administration of the Slovak Republic, Eclipse 50 is an official reference method for the determination of residues of inhibitory substances in milk. Therefore, we can only state that of all the methods used, the Eclipse 50 seems to be the most reliable for routine control analysis of residues of inhibitory substances in all types of milk.
Our transformative journey to become action researchers
Authors: Rahman Md Hafizur , Lund Trine , Alamin Md , Krogh Erling , Gjøtterud Sigrid Marie 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
During my (Hafiz) childhood in Bangladesh, I experienced the negative impact of the educational system. My experiences initiated a process of conscientization leading to values-driven activism through the establishment of Education for Development and Sustainability (EDS), a child-friendly community of practice, with Trine and Alamin. In encounters with Erling and Sigrid, we became aware that our activities were in accordance with action research based on cooperative inquiry (Heron & Reason, 2008). From that point of departure, we developed our own collaborative living theory.
In this paper, we explore the research question “How did we become action researchers and what is our driving force?” by using Stoller’s (1989) autobiographical narrative method to analyse selected, lived experiences. Sharing lived experiences and engaging in activism with each other and the EDS children became the base for our conscientization, radical empiricism and contemplating involvement in EDS. Value based activism can create empathic relations and emotions through shared engagement for social justice and the realization that we create a shared reality. Hence, conducting action research with children/youth is in our experience a key to sustainable development. However, to increase the transparency and validity of our research, we needed to explore how our experiences and actions have influenced our values, emotions and decisions to conduct research, our research topic and the research in itself. Therefore, we have engaged co-researchers and participants to critically question the research practice and made it open for discussion and comments in order to see alternative ways of interpreting situations and processes.
Proof the Skewes’ number is not an integer using lattice points and tangent line
Authors: Ďuriš V. , Šumný T. , Lengyelfalusy T. 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Skewes’ number was discovered in 1933 by South African mathematician Stanley Skewes as upper bound for the first sign change of the difference π (x) − li(x). Whether a Skewes’ number is an integer is an open problem of Number Theory. Assuming Schanuel’s conjecture, it can be shown that Skewes’ number is transcendental. In our paper we have chosen a different approach to prove Skewes’ number is an integer, using lattice points and tangent line. In the paper we acquaint the reader also with prime numbers and their use in RSA coding, we present the primary algorithms Lehmann test and Rabin-Miller test for determining the prime numbers, we introduce the Prime Number Theorem and define the prime-counting function and logarithmic integral function and show their relation.
An extensive extension of exponentiated exponential distribution using alpha power transformation – statistical properties and applications in engineering science
Authors: Ain S. Qurat Ul , Rather K. Ul Islam 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
In this article, an extension of exponentiated exponential distribution is familiarized by adding an extra parameter to the parent distribution using alpha power technique. The new distribution obtained is referred to as Alpha Power Exponentiated Exponential Distribution. Various statistical properties of the proposed distribution like mean, variance, central and non-central moments, reliability functions and entropies have been derived. Two real life data sets have been applied to check the flexibility of the proposed model. The new density model introduced provides the better fit when compared with other related statistical models.
Processing of party symbols and names predicts the results of 2019 Indian parliamentary election: Analysing psycholinguistic behavioural incongruency effects
Authors: Tarai Shashikanta , Bit Arindam , Kumar Roopak , Savekar Anbu 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe response time and accuracy of processing verbal and nonverbal stimuli may predict the desired outcome of an event. Few studies have examined the psycholinguistic evidence of the speed-accuracy trade-off in the processing of political information to predict the outcome of an election. Therefore, we analysed the perceptual time and accuracy of two major political party names: the Indian National Congress (INC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and their respective symbols before the Indian election 2019. Our results demonstrated that the pre-election perceptual accuracy to party symbol and name was positively linear to the index of high proportional vote share of the winning party, BJP. The high response accuracy and time for the BJP name correlated with voters’ familiarity of it, thereby establishing a link between response results and parties’ vote shares.

However, the impact of the use of AI will not be solely for future leaders, but will also affect those they lead. This article means to highlight these possible effects on leaders, by presenting some important connections between AI and leadership.
The Influence of Disruptive Technologies in the Field of Defense
Authors: Metea Ileana 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The impact of technology in the field of defense is often analyzed in terms of the quality and quantity of the tasks provided, another issue being how man and machine can collaborate in order to make the right choices while maintaining the human autonomy. This dilemma affects the workplace all over the world, from small businesses to large multinational corporations from households to and nation states. The development of military strategies is increasingly disrupted by artificial intelligence-based technologies that accelerate automation systems and processes. From weapon systems to so-called high-tech portable devices – digital equipment innovations are benefitting the armed forces, from logistics and strategic decision-making to training and combat action. It is not certain where these changes will lead to, but our future in this increasingly technology-dependent world will be largely determined by the social, political and economic decisions we are making today.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
In general, the Internet relies on complex codes to protect information, but hackers are becoming more adept at defeating such systems. These cyberattacks lead to privacy breaches of government officials, as well as large corporations, costing billions of euros per year in total and compromising customer data. According to ENISA reports, these numbers are set to rise. Quantum technology is seen by scientists as a revolutionary replacement for standard encryption techniques.
The Transpersonal War – Constituent of the Hybrid War
Authors: Manolea Aliodor 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The study highlights aspects of the hybrid war waged by the Russian Federation in order to maintain, strengthen its areas of influence, penetrating areas inaccessible by classical means. The paper brings to the fore the nationalist interests, characteristics, objectives, tools and means used by the Russians in the current hybrid war. Using a reflective logic regarding the fact that there is a current of opinion in the US Armed Forces that argues that the real challenge for the United States is not the asymmetric war but the Transcendent War, I express the opinion that the Russian Federation also considers this issue. In this context, I draw attention to the research conducted in Romania on Distal Psychoinformational Influence as an offensive-defensive weapon that manifests itself without material support and acts subliminally, transcendently, in operations of knowledge, influence, domination and control of the opponent, both psychoemotional as well as somatic.
Could Virtual Currencies Replace Classic Money and Influence the Activities Of Banks?
Authors: Dumitru Alexandru-Cosmin 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This article analyses the concept of virtual currencies by examining the origin and evolution of money in its’ classical form, identifies why classic money needs to evolve and why virtual currencies could represent the next step in their evolution (Vlasov, 2017). With the emergence of Bitcoin, terms as ‘blockchain technology’ and ‘virtual currencies’ have gained great notoriety. One of the reasons virtual currencies became so popular is that people believe that they could be very promising and could be capable to replace money in their traditional form. This being considered, the article tries to achieve the following objectives: to provide an overview on the evolution of money; make a comparison between virtual currencies and classic money; analyse the potential of virtual currency to replace fiat money (Jumde & Cho, 2020). The focus of this article was to gain a holistic insight into the new technology and its power to revolutionise the financial system. The study was performed by comparing various sources and examining existing studies, official reports issued by the EU institutions, opinions of various experts and financial journals articles, in order to create knowledge on the topic, as well as the author’s interpretation of the research material.

Authors: Tuczyńska Magdalena , Matthews-Kozanecka Maja , Nowak Arkadiusz , Baum Ewa 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the global economy, including the provision of health services, with medical facilities and patients cancelling or postponing medical appointments. An alternative to in-person appointments was through the available forms of telemedicine. Scientific reports around the world have suggested that the accessibility and quality of health services declined. The aim of this study was to investigate the accessibility and quality of health services in Poland and to verify whether there were differences between men and women in this respect. The study was based on the authors’ own survey questionnaire filled in by 265 respondents, including 181 women, 82 men, and 2 persons without a defined gender. The study revealed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the accessibility and quality of health services declined. Additionally, women were more likely to use general and specialist health services than men, but a comparison of changes in the assessment of accessibility and quality of services by gender revealed no differences in the assessment of accessibility and quality.

Authors: Załuska Roman , Milewska Anna Justyna , Olszewska Joanna , Drygas Wojciech 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Electrotherapy is a dynamically developing method of treatment of sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular conduction disturbances. It is an extremely important method used in the treatment of heart failure. The aim of this paper was to use classification trees for the differentiation between patients implanted with one of the three electrotherapy devices, i.e. SC-VVI/AAI, DC-DDD, ICD/CRT. The analysed data concerned 2071 patients who underwent implantation or device replacement procedures in the years 2010–2018, hospitalized in a coronary care unit. CART-type classification trees with 5-fold cross-validation were used for the analysis. The decision concerning the choice of a particular electrotherapy device is always made based on the latest guidelines and the patient’s clinical condition. The used classification trees may enable verification of the state of implementation of guidelines in real-life therapeutic decisions.

Authors: Grześkowiak Małgorzata , Rzeźniczek Piotr , Pytliński Adam , Stańdo Jacek , Roszak Magdalena 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This paper presents the place of e-learning methods in the teaching of Advanced Life Support (ALS) to second year medical students. The described course lasts 30 hours and consists of lectures, seminars, and classes. Numerous modifications of the course were introduced in the past and at the moment electronic learning methods are being improved with new ones being added as well. The following have been implemented: 1. e-learning presentations instead of lectures; 2. recording own instructional movie demonstrating advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation; 3. a change in the method of conducting practical classes consisting in recording the medical procedures performed by students with a camera. Although e-learning plays an important role in ALS teaching, it cannot completely replace on-site classes. Thus, ALS without any practice to acquire resuscitation skills is impossible.
Domestication of Mathematical Pathologies
Authors: Pogonowski Jerzy 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Certain mathematical objects bear the name “pathological” (or “paradoxical”). They either occur as unexpected and (temporarily) unwilling in mathematical research practice, or are constructed deliberately, for instance in order to delimit the scope of application of a theorem. I discuss examples of mathematical pathologies and the circumstances of their emergence. I focus my attention on the creative role of pathologies in the development of mathematics. Finally, I propose a few reflections concerning the degree of cognitive accessibility of mathematical objects. I believe that the problems discussed in the paper may attract the attention of philosophers interested in concept formation and the development of mathematical ideas.

This study aimed to find out the use of point-counterpoint strategy to improve students’ writing skills on discussion text for the second-grade students of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 5 Bireuen. This research used a quantitative method. The research subjects were 42 students from XI MIPA 1 and MIPA 2. Class XI MIPA 1 was an experimental group and Class XI MIPA 2 was a control group. Both classes were selected for students’ equal ability. The instruments used to collect the data were tests; pretest and posttest and questionnaire. The writing test was used for pretest and post-test. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistic to find the mean scores of the two classes. The mean score of the pretest in the experimental class was 63.61 and the mean score of the posttest in the experimental class was 77. Meanwhile, the mean score of the pretest in the control class was 63.80 and the mean score of the posttest in the control class was 74.47. The mean score of the experimental class was higher than the control class. Accordingly, the hypothesis of this research was accepted. In the questionnaire, the researchers found that almost all students choose “agree” toward the Point-Counterpoint strategy in writing discussion text.
