The Corona warning APP of the German Federal Government

Author(s): Robert Müller-Török,Alexander Prosser / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2021

Since June 17th, 2020 the Corona Warn App of the German Federal Government has been available for download. After a sharp increase downloads stagnate around a total of 20 million, which is roughly one fourth of the population. Whether everyone who downloaded it actually uses it, is questionable. Objectives We want to show that the underlying concept of an app is questionable, even if each inhabitant with a smartphone downloads and uses it, it would cover barely half of each encounter where COVID-19 could actually be transmitted. Prior work This work is the scientific, extended version of a short article we published in the September 2020 issue of the “Behördenspiegel”, a monthly magazine covering German public administration issues. Approach We use statistical methods to show that, (i) even in the very best case with a perfectly working app the coverage would have been roughly half of all relevant encounters (ii) and that the voluntary usage of this app as well as the free decision of the infected individual to publish its (anonymized) data to warn others in fact reduces any effectiveness considerably. In addition we show that (iii) due to the design of the app there is a likely limit where the app will not be able to warn its users for mathematical and cryptographical reasons. Results We demonstrate by statistical means that this app could never have worked and why similar apps neither would work, let aside probably the “Trace Together” initiative of Singapore, which is based on a combination of an app plus physical tokens for those who do not own nor use smartphones (https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg/). We define some requirements a successful COVID-19 tracing solution must fulfill. Implications We show that such apps are not a solution for the problem, rather an obstacle to a real solution, because they lull their (few) users into a false sense of security which is obviously wrong, based on real figures. Value The paper contributes to transparency of government action during the COVID-19 pandemic. We show that other ways of contact tracing must be pursued in order to be effective and hinder the pandemic from escalating rather than providing a false feeling of safety.

Augmented Reality and Education Sciences

Author(s): Cristian Pamparău / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2020

The present paper reviews the field of Augmented Reality, starting from the current research and publications of this specialization, starting from the premise that augmenting reality implies an extension of virtual reality. Thus, types of implementations of augmented reality will be presented, emphasizing the HMD type, referring to an application of this kind, made by the author. Based on the application, the observations from a public presentation of it and, taking into account the way in which RA flirts with education, the educational perspectives of and how they can be implemented in the educational system will be presented. Also, in this paper will be presented the limitations of this technology, given that not every educational subject can be presented and taught in an immersive environment.For the implementation of the application under discussion, the technology was used Microsoft HoloLens 1 that combines an untethered device with apps and solutions that help people across your business learn, communicate, and collaborate more effectively.

The Contribution of Oil Signs to the Petroleum Prospect in the Erindi Region, Albania

Author(s): Enkela NOÇKA,Altin KARRIQI,Irakli PRIFTI / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2022

Many wells have been drilled in Albania to search oil traps in the carbonate reservoirs of the Ionian area. One of them is the Nokova-1 well, drilled in the overflow front of the Berati anticline belt. Geographically it is in Erindi region, southern Albania. Nokova-1 well has passed flysch deposits of Oligocene (Pg3) and carbonate deposits of Eocene - Paleocene (Pg1-Pg2). To conclude in the results presented at this paper, various geological and geochemical studies have been studied.During the drilling and testing processes, signs of oil and hydrocarbon gas have appeared, which contribute to the oil-bearing perspective of the region. Limited quantities of crude oil were obtained during the testing process. Samples taken from this oil were determined density, from which API was calculated. Also hydrocarbon composition was performed. According to samples analysis, are determined parameters of density (0.923 gr/cm3), API (21.8) and hydrocarbon composition as follows: saturate (49.20 %), aromatics (27.9%), saturate + aromatics (77.10 %), NSO-comp (14.86%), asphalt (7.95%), saturate/aromatics (1.763441%) and NSO-comp + asphalt (22.81%).The results of the hydrocarbon composition were correlated with those of the oil traps (carbonate reservoirs) in Albania. From this correlation we have concluded that the crude oil taken from the Nokova-1 well is light oil, it is not biodegradable. Nokova-1 well oil correlates with oil of oil traps in Amonica, Cakrani, Mollaj, which have been interpreted as oil traps of younger geological age.In conclusion, it can be said that the oil samples taken from the Nokova-1 well are results from the contribution of an oil trap that can be located at depth, or the result of new phases of hydrocarbon migration.

Bundling and tying in smart living

Author(s): Ina Virtosu,Chen LI / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2022

Smart living is a trend promising more comfort, security, and energy efficiency in our everyday life through digitalization and the inter-connectivity of devices. From driverless cars to smart thermostats, from movable office to ecosystem of smart home, all of them are smart “objects” on which smart living and smart cities rely, involving original and innovative solutions aimed at making life more efficient, more controllable, economical, productive, integrated, and sustainable. Nowadays, these objects are not single products anymore but a series of integrated products, which can be tied or bundled. However, the bunding and tying are not traditional one, like ordinary merchandise or software tying in the landmark case Microsoft. It can be between software and hardware, as well as with a more complicated structure. For the smart objects the bundling and tying may be not limited in bilateral ones but also can be multilateral. This paper aims to discuss bundling and tying products in a smart city life, and mainly the commercial reality of such smart products on how the components are bundled and tied. After, it analyses the structure of bundling and tying in some smart products to confirm whether there is a main product, which can be either a hardware or a software, or net-shaped like in the ecosystem of smart home. Based on these commercial realities, this paper discusses whether multilateral bundling and tying related to smart objects may be a threat to a competition order and mainly to violate Articles 102 TFEU.

Author(s): Iliana FRANKLIN,Austin HILL,Anastasia GUROVA,Stevie STEDMAN,Leroy DIAS,Molly BABINGTON / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2021

What we see around us and how today will affect tomorrow is all depending on our creativity. Our intelligent life is inspired from our imagination. Since the world exists the main source of ideas has derived from the fairy tales and fables that humanity learned in its infancy. These brainstorming sources of ideas are constantly used by the science and technology to move our life forward through embodying our dreams for freedom, justice, democracy and sustainability through smart concepts and solutions. The future is here inspired by myths and legends and represented by Michio Kaku in his futuristic visions. Our proposed work is to visualise some of these ideas into smart concepts for the future. Our panel will discuss and demonstrate how an idea can transform storytelling into a VR concept and will shed light onto the rise of some of the most ground-breaking emerging technologies.

Оригиналът в епохата на дигиталната му възпроизводимост

Author(s): Ivan Svilenov Stefanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The problem with the original in the era of its digital reproducibility concerns both photography, which until recently dominated media in contemporary art, and more conventional art forms, such as painting and music, which entered the digital universe and became irreversibly devalued because of the accessibility and malicious democracy of the new digital meta universe. Entering the second decade of the 21st century, the economic trap in which the arts fall is becoming clearer, and the traditional idea of the uniqueness of the original work falls under the pragmatic critique of the consumer world, in which everyone can and wants to own, in the digital format, all the information of interest or need. A new chance for artists to declare the originality of their digital work is the emerging NFT culture, and an interesting question that may arise from now on is whether a potential shift of big capital to the originals in their digital version will not orient the gallery spaces to other purposes than commercial? Obviously, interesting restructuring in the world of art is forthcoming and the emergence of new and more important institutions than galleries and museums is not excluded.

A Bibliometric Analysis of History Researches on Turkey 1975 – 2023

Author(s): Murat Soysal / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The aim of this study is to exhibit a bibliometric analysis of historical studies on Turkey. A total of 1288 articles from 230 journals indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database in the years 1975 – 2023 were used in the analysis. The analysis aims to provide a review of historical studies on Turkey by identifying the dynamics of research by presenting the periodical process, current situation, and future directions. The main focus of the analysis is set to the recent history of Turkey. Therefore, the scope of the study was defined as Turkey’s founding period, its aftermath, and the period up to the present day, and accordingly, the keywords ‘Turkey’, ‘Turkish Republic’, and ‘Republic of Turkey’ was utilized in the search query in the WoS database. On the data obtained, it is observed that the word ‘Turkey’ is found to be more than ‘Turkish Republic’ and ‘Republic of Turkey’ in the published articles. Also, most of the studies on Turkey were conducted in Turkey by Turkish authors. In this study, it is observed that the historical studies on Turkey are differentiated not only according to internal developments in Turkey, such as the foundation of the Republic, World War I, nationalism, etc. but also according to the effects of external factors, such as issues concerning asylum seekers/migrants, and regional issues such as the Middle East and the Black Sea.

ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PROVIDED IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL UNITS OF BULGARIA

Author(s): Tsvetelina Berberova-Valcheva / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

Electronic administrative services are an effective tool for the modernisation of local self-government. The provided administrative services contribute to facilitating communication between citizens, businesses, and administration, as well as within the administration itself. This article aims to reveal the average provision of electronic administrative services at the local level by examining the average data for each district and to reveal the differences in the provision of electronic administrative services. For this purpose, statistical data on the population who are respondents to the services are used, and the electronic administrative services provided in Bulgaria largely meet the reliability standards. The arguments by which citizens justify the fact that they do not use electronic administrative services are related to public distrust of these services and state institutions in general, preference for personal contact with employees in the administration, concerns about insufficient information security, lack of computer skills, and personal electronic devices that allow the services to be used.
