Author(s): Gražina Čiuladienė,Antanas Valantinas / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 37/2016

Parental involvement has a positive impact on children’s learning achievements, school attendance etc. There is a lack of research of the involvement of parents in the extent of school life as well as the advantages and obstacles posed by it in Lithuania. The purpose of this article is to find out the voltage fields in parent – teacher relationship. Parents’ opinions about the school’s activities survey data (the survey was held by the National School Assessment Agency at 2010-2012 year) was analyzed for this study. Only online comments of the parents were analyzed and only remarks of the negative nature were considered (420 respondents). The data were analyzed on the basis of grounded theory (V. Ћydћiūnaitė, 2006, 2007; B. Bitinas, 2006). This article discusses only one conceptual category – the poor quality of education. Content analysis of the comments discussing the quality of education allows us to distinguish four sub-categories: teaching inefficiency, the lack of support, the lack of discipline and the disadvantages of achievements and progress. According to the analysis of survey results, it can be said that the parents‘ dissatisfaction with the quality of the teaching process gives birth to distrust in the quality of school teacher competency, which further alienates parents from the school. Such an atmosphere of communication, one based on the distrust and dissatisfaction of parents, lays ground for deep conflict situations rather than well-wishing cooperation, which is conducive to parental involvement in children’s education.

Author(s): Ewa Czyżewska-Zalewska / Language(s): English Issue: XXVI/2017

The article presents new material excavated during the last season, discusses production technology and surface treatment. Recently excavated material from el-Zuma throws new light on pottery production and its typology, necessitating thus a reexamination of the already known vessel types. Some types of pottery, discovered in 2017, although known from other tumuli excavated in previous seasons and already published in general reports, still need to be reexamined. New types of vessels have also been identified.

A circular pool in the main courtyard of the “Hellenistic” House in Nea Paphos. Preliminary remarks

Author(s): Marcin M. Romaniuk / Language(s): English Issue: XXVI/2017

Excavations in the main courtyard of the “Hellenistic” House in Nea Paphos in 2016, Polish excavations, revealed a small circular pool with immured tops of Dressel 6A amphorae in the wall surrounding it and a circular imprint in the middle of the floor. The paper undertakes a discussion of possible form and function, putting forward a tentative interpretation based on a study of parallels that we are dealing with an ornamental pool, a popular furnishing of wealthy Roman house gardens, functioning perhaps as a fishpond (piscina) or a tank with water constantly running in and out, with a labrum or columnar pedestal standing in the middle.

CREATING NEW SENSIBILITY IN LITHUANIAN DOCUMENTARY CINEMA: “ACID FOREST” AND “ANIMUS ANIMALIS” (A STORY ABOUT PEOPLE, ANIMALS AND THINGS)

Author(s): Mantė Valiūnaitė / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This paper is an analysis of two Lithuanian documentary films – Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė’s “Acid Forest” (Rūgštus miškas, 2018) and Aistė Žegulytė’s “Animus Animalis (A Story about People, Animals and Things)” (Animus Animalis (Istorija apie žmones, žvėris ir daiktus)) (2018). Both of these films re-evaluate the way animals are being represented in cinema. The analysis will be conducted within three frameworks: Lithuanian poetic documentary, nature or wildlife documentaries and animal studies in the field of film studies. While both “Acid Forest” and “Animus Animalis” employ cinematic language that is common to Lithuanian poetic documentary, they both broaden the genre not only with their aesthetic decisions, but also by extending its thematic focus usually limited to human interest. By changing the elements of conventional nature or wildlife documentaries these films manage to question the power dynamics of different species. They create a new sensibility towards nonhuman living creatures by reorganizing the point of view usually belonging to human beings, even by limiting spatial and temporal freedom of the spectator. Interdisciplinary focus on animal studies within the field of film studies sets another important framework that helps us understand why “Acid Forest” and “Animus Animalis” become relevant case studies: they widen the field of documentary cinema in the local context and they are also a part of a global shift in documentary filmmakers’ approach towards nonhuman beings.

FILMMAKERS AS ONSCREEN CHARACTERS IN RECENT LATVIAN DOCUMENTARY CINEMA

Author(s): Zane Balčus / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Since the beginning of the 21st century an increase of films with filmmakers present onscreen can be observed in Latvian documentary cinema. Their stories open up personal issues and family histories, their presence diversifies stylistic approaches to documentary apart from most often used observational form. Issues of formal elements of narrating a story, representation of filmmaker’s self within the film’s narrative, power relations between the filmmaker and the character are at the core of study in documentary film theory, where participatory and performative modes (Bill Nichols), analysis of performative nature of documentary (Stella Bruzzi), and character representation (Carl Plantinga, Thomas Waugh) are explored. The three recent Latvian documentaries discussed in this article present variations of interaction of filmmaker and character/-s in telling the story of the director’s father in “My Father the Banker” (Mans tēvs baņķieris, Ieva Ozoliņa, 2015), disclosing the personality of a friend and an artist in “Forging Condors” (Kondoru kalve, Mārtiņš Grauds, 2018), or questioning the ethical implications of a documentary filmmaker in “Documentarian” (Dokumentālists, Ivars Zviedris, Inese Kļava, 2012). They present various approaches to the issues of representation, choice of formal elements, and interaction between the filmmakers and the films’ characters.

Author(s): Jerzy Rottermund,Lucia Ludvig Cintulová,Zuzana Budayová,Andrzej Knapik / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has brought many negative aspects not only on a global scale, but has also led to negative individual impacts on human health and quality of life. Research objectives: The article presents basic information about SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and, based on the literature review, suggests potential factors affecting skeletal muscles and their damage. At the same time, the necessity of performing physical exercises in the process of treatment and physical activity were indicated as an effective prophylactic measure. Core of work: Skeletal muscles play very important roles, above all they enable the performance of movements and they are also responsible for biochemical processes in the human body. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes muscle damage and loses mass. There are significantly weakened at the time of the covid-19 disease. In addition, the need to remain immobile during treatment exacerbates pathological changes. The infection is much less likely and the changes in the organs become more intense at the elderly. Health complications do not only concern the period of acute infection, they also occur in convalescents. Conclusion: Well-known studies has figured out new information and report other symptoms linked with the diseases Covid-19 including psychical problems such as anxiety, depression and physical problems with the immunity, mobility, skeletal and muscles.

Patient-related risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection

Author(s): Martin Vicen,Peter Polan,Július Evelley,Jozef Kubašovský,Martin Matúška,Iveta Nagyová / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2021

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection is still a serious surgical complication with incidence of 0.5 – 2 %. Prevention is the most effective therapeutic method of infectious complications. Recognizing and treating modifiable patient-related risk factors for infection can significantly reduce the risk of periprosthetic infection. Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive summary of individual modified patient-related risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection and suggest recommendations for minimizing post-surgery infectious complications. Findings: There are several studies examining general and local patient-related risk factors for infection in joint replacement surgery. General risk factors mainly include comorbidities, smoking and alcohol abuse. Local risk factors are the presence of chronic skin infections and skin defects associated with venous insufficiency. Conclusions: A total joint replacement is almost always an elective procedure, which allows the surgeon to prepare the patient for the surgery and thus minimize the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. It is essential to identify and treat modified patient-related risk factors for infection. Personal discussion with the patient preoperatively is very important, to sensitized him to the risk of infection, screening and prevention. However, there is no patient without a risk of infection complications.

Türkiye’de Sigortacılığın Son Yıllardaki Gelişim Eğiliminin Değerlendirilmesi: 2016-2019 Yılları Arası Dönem İçin Sigortacılık Sektörüne Yönelik Bir Etkinlik Analizi

Author(s): Selim Duramaz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 04/2021

Insurance awareness for different insurance branches in the insurance sector in Turkey is increasing day by day, and the number of policies produced in the sector is increasing day by day. In this context, with the aim of evaluating the insurance indicators that increase in quality in terms of quantity and revealing a performance table for the sector, in the study, a list of the top 14 companies in the market share ranking according to the total premium production in the insurance sector, based on some indicators selected between 2016-2019 activity analysis was carried out. Data envelopment analysis was used as the analysis method. As a result of the study, it has been observed from the analysis results that although the efficiency levels of the companies, which are in the top ranks according to the total premium production in the years examined, are generally at good levels, in some years, the opposite process has also been experienced. Accordingly, companies should increase their profitability and premium production by using their employment numbers and insurance policy numbers more efficiently.

Az agresszív áldozat. A szenvedés politikai reprezentációjának kettős fogalma

Author(s): Zsolt K. Horváth / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 01/2022

The article discusses the process in which historical and sociological research on the victims of genocide in the 20th century was transformed and, increasingly, appropriated by the political field. For what purpose was this appropriation mobilized and how did this process somehow empty scholarly research? Isolating the dual notion of the political representation of suffering, the article seeks to find an approach with which the political issue of the subject must be emphasized, just to get out of the trap constructed by politics.

POSZUKIWANIE DETERMINANTÓW JAKOŚCI PROGRAMU JAKO ELEMENTÓW STRATEGII W MEDIACH PUBLICZNYCH. MODEL TRÓJKĄTA SIŁ JAKOŚCI

Author(s): Sławomir Rogowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2021

The purpose of the article is to present the importance, the function of program quality in public media, as well as the influence of “quality” on the creation of strategy and success of stations. The first part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of the literature on the subject, thanks to which the significant meaning of quality in this measure was shown. The second part presents the application of the media quality forces triangle model to the research. Consequently, the analysis of the results of the surveys conducted with this method in 2015 and 2021 is presented. This research shows the differential influence of the factors that were introduced in the survey on the basis of quality descriptors. The respondents came from two groups: media professionals and students. In their opinion, qualified staff and station creators have the greatest influence on the two-seeing quality, in second place is the knowledge of the audience market, and in third place were the factors that create the station’s financing. Moreover, the results of the study show interesting differences in opinions among the surveyed groups over several years.

Cimitirul din Mănăştur – un topos sacru

Author(s): Maria Vaida / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 10/2021

The article describes the life of Manastur people in older days, but also their place of burial, respectively the cemetery that was organized around the church of the Assumption. In the cemetery on the hill, which surrounds the Church of the Assumption, more than 4,000 souls sleep their eternal sleep. Most of them are simple people, about whom we have no historical data, as well as the priests, many priests, about whom we have precarious data. Then come the personalities and people of culture. Many of those who once lived in the old Mănăştur (today a district of Cluj) sleep their eternal sleep on the hill, near the Church of the Assumption. The traces of their passage through the world are their deeds and the stone or marble crosses on the graves, or the funny events that the collective memory has retained, because the people of Mănăştur are people with a sense of humor. They are, and always were, hardworking, enterprising people, and lived in peace with all the coexisting nationalities, aware that they all have merit on earth.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LINKED DATA USING STRING SUGGESTIONS

Author(s): Ilie Cristian DOROBĂȚ,Octavian RINCIOG,George Cristian MURARU,Vlad POSEA / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2020

The Semantic Web standardization and their growing usage in professional communities, both governmental and non-governmental, have naturally driven for accelerating the growth of published data volume in the virtual space by 422 published datasets in 2011 to 9,960 until 2019, totaling of 149,423,660,620 triples from various areas as medicine, education, art, history, technology, public administration etc. This trend of increasing of the semantic datasets published in the virtual space, leads to the emergence of a new challenge: ensuring the data quality; a first step in this direction being made by Tim Berners-Lee in 2010, when he defined a set of criteria that data scientists are encouraged to use it for ensuring a highest quality level of datasets. However, an important shape has not been mentioned: data accuracy, a feature not strictly specific to semantic data but which is applied to any type of data representation. The paper starts with a brief presentation of the most important metrics used to determine the level of data quality, along with a brief introduction of the most used string similarity algorithms. After that, the paper presents a new feature for an existing open data integration tool, called Karma, that allows users, such as data analysts and scientists, to improve their time management plan by reducing the time needed to clean their data. This feature has been implemented as a string suggestion for miswritten strings by using the presented string similarity metrics, keeping, at the same time, the framework design and the framework workflow too.

The Influence of Capital Adequacy Ratio and Non-Performing Loan on Profitability of Commercial Banks Listed on The Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2019

Author(s): Nathaniel Karel Djaya,Ika Yanuarti / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

This study has the purpose to analyze the influence of Capital Adequacy Ratio and Non-Performing Loan on profitability of Commercial Banks. The sample of this study consists of 26 Commercial Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2019. This research used Multiple Regression Analysis to analyze the data gathered from audited financial reports of those banks. The results showed that the Capital Adequacy Ratio and Non-Performing Loan simultaneously affect the Profitability, which means that if there is an increase in Capital Adequacy Ratio and Non-Performing Loan, then it will be followed by an increase in Return on Assets. However, if it`s tested partially then it is only Non-Performing Loans that affect the Return on Assets. The influence was negative and statistically significant. The Capital Adequacy Ratio had positive influence on Return on Assets but not statistically significant.
