The Role of Feedback in the Distance Learning Process
Authors: Jurs Pāvels , Špehte Elita 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
In the distance learning process, teachers, students, parents and institutions must continue the teaching and learning process despite the various limitations. During the face-to-face learning process, instructions, concepts and feedback can be verbally communicated within a relatively short period of time; while teachers in the distance learning process must briefly express their thoughts in written form so that every student can clearly understand what is being done. It is not always an easy task. One of the challenges of the distance learning process is to find ways how to provide feedback to students in a timely and meaningful way to help them improve their performance, actively engage in the learning process, and not to lose the link between a student and a teacher. The article, using theoretical (scientific and methodological literature analysis) research methods, analyzes the concept and theoretical models of the distance learning process, describes the preconditions for feedback and the importance of feedback in the teaching and learning process. By analysing the importance of feedback, suggestions for improving the distance learning process have been developed.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The ongoing debates about the effects of human population growth (HPG) is one of the concepts in education for sustainable development (ESD). Beliefs toward HPG are an important construct for teacher education because beliefs potentially interfere with their instructional practices and students’ beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. Accordingly, this study focused on developing and validating an instrument to explore pre-service teachers’ beliefs toward the effects of HPG. The instrument was piloted, revised, and the main study was administered to 658 pre-service teachers. The instrument revealed five dimensions: requirements to support HPG; neo-Malthusian environmentalism; population and national economy; quality of human life; and population, resources and environment. Pre-service teachers’ beliefs revealed that they needed additional support to understand multiple and nested interactions among HPG, urbanization, energy demand and national economy within the context of sustainability. This instrument is a promising tool to provide insights when designing courses on ESD for pre-service teachers.

Abstract
Cystic echinococcosis is a cosmopolitan zoonotic infection, commonly seen in areas where livestock and dogs are kept together. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of echinococcosis in slaughtered cattle and sheep in North Macedonia and to evaluate the location and fertility/sterility rates of the cysts. A total of 302 slaughtered animals were examined with visual inspection, palpation, and incision of the internal organs in order to detect cysts. Microscopic examination was carried out to determine the presence of protoscoleces. The overall prevalence of echinococcosis in slaughtered cattle and sheep was 60%. The presence of cysts increased with age in cattle. In both cattle and sheep, the most common affected organs were the liver and lungs infected with more than one cyst. The findings showed higher fertility rate in sheep which confirmed their role as the most important intermediate host. This study shows that North Macedonia is an endemic region, and serious control strategies should be implemented, with special emphasis on safety disposal of infected organs and anthelmintic treatment of the dogs.
Problem of Total Harmonic Distortion Measurement Performed by Smart Energy Meters
Authors: Kuwałek Piotr , Wiczyński Grzegorz 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Currently, electricity is treated as commodity that should be delivered from a distributor to a consumer with a certain quality. The power quality is defined by the set of measures with specific limit values. One of the basic measures is the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), which allows to assess the level of the voltage distortion. The measurement of THD ratio should be carried out in accordance with the normative specification. It is assumed that this requirement is met by class A power quality analyzers. Currently, measures are taken to monitor power quality in a large number of measurement points with the use of smart energy meters that are part of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The paper presents the problem of THD ratio measurement by AMI meters if voltage fluctuations occur. In such situation, inconsistency in measurement results of AMI meters and class A power quality analyzers occurs. The problem is presented on the basis of laboratory study results in which disturbances in power grid are recreated.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Phase methods of measuring physical quantities and phase measuring equipment are widely used in various fields of science and technology. The article proposes a signal processing methodology based on a combination of the discrete Hilbert transform (DHT) and deterministic, as well as statistical methods of phase measurement. This methodology makes it possible to more fully use the information resource of the measuring signal phase in a wide range of the signal-to-noise ratio. It can be used both in computerized measurement and testing systems, as well as in the processing of measurement data. The benefits of the DHT are considered. The possibility of using statistics of directional data for phase measurements is shown. Circular statistics, such as the mean ring value, circular variance and the resulting vector length, were proposed for use in the phase measurements. Some examples of the use of this methodology in measurements and non-destructive testing are given.

Abstract

Objective: Current literature indicates a connection between sarcoidosis and malignancy, prompting advanced screening in uncertain cases. Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPT) of the pancreas are rare entities that can be confirmed by adding imaging results to immunohistochemistry staining. The aim of this article is to describe a rare association of sarcoidosis and SPT.

Materials and methods: Case report.

Results: A young female patient with no prior medical history presents with shortness of breath and fatigue. The diagnosis of pulmonary and hepatic sarcoidosis is placed upon laboratory and radiographic changes. Intermittent abdominal pain prompts an MRI that shows the presence of a tumoral mass in the tail of the pancreas. Surgical resection of the mass is performed and histological examination indicates a SPT, subsequently confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Conclusion: This is the third reported case of concomitant sarcoidosis and solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas.

Творческие способности не так важны, поэтому постарайтесь отнестись к творчеству ребенка безпредубеждения. Ведь когда ребенок с энтузиазмом участвует в творчестве, у него развиваются полезныенавыки. Например, преподаватели считают, что курсы рисования и моделирования благотворно влияютна развитие моторики и нервной системы. По прошествии некоторого времени дети смоглисамостоятельно решать различные задачи. Творчество используется для обучения чтению, письму исчету. Психотерапевты утверждают, что это может помочь ребенку понять окружающий мир, научить егосправляться со страхом, а также пробудить эмоции. Художник убежден, что искусство, как вид красотыи источник самовыражения, очень важно, и сам творческий процесс тоже очень важен. Данная статьяпосвящена проблемам и путям развития детского творчества. В статье описана структура детскоготворчества, ее этапы, виды и условия развития. Так же с какими сферами лучше всего контактируетдетское творчество.
Creativity is not so important, so try to treat the creativity of the child without prejudice. After all, when achild enthusiastically participates in creativity, he develops useful skills. For example, teachers believe thatdrawing and modeling courses have a beneficial effect on the development of motor skills and the nervoussystem. After some time, the children were able to solve various tasks independently. Creativity is used to teachreading, writing and counting. Psychotherapists claim that this can help a child understand the world aroundhim, teach him to cope with fear, and also awaken emotions.
