Opis: Traditional mobility programmesseem to be insufficient to fulfil the desired internationalization of higher education programmes. For this reason, other forms of internationalization need to be explored and addressed, such as ‘internationalization at home’ (IaH), a concept that has attracted the attention of a significant number of researchers over the years. Considering this, the aim of this paper is to present an example of such practices by focusing on the implementation of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) in the context of Tourism degree programmes offered by two institutions: the Polytechnic Institute of Beja, Portugal, and the University of Maribor, Slovenia. Furthermore, the paper intends to highlight the role played by qualitative methods in the design of this COIL programme, titled: “Integral Rural Tourism experiences: lessons from the Alqueva Lake, Portugal, and the Dolenjska region, Slovenia”. To achieve these goals, the paper focuses on: (i) the definition of internationalization at home and COIL, (ii) the topic and structure of this COIL programme, (iii) qualitative methods used in activity design, and on (iv) the evaluation of this initiative. This COIL proved to be a positive experience, as it helped to consolidate an international partnership and to increase the number of students involved in internationalization activities in both Tourism degrees involved. Furthermore, it encouraged students to develop a wide range of skills, such as digital, language and intercultural skills, which are of crucial importance, particularly in the case of Tourism degree programmes. Moreover, qualitative methods were found to be a suitable approach for the design of the tasks proposed. Finally, the limitations identified, related mostly to language difficulties and to the discrepancy in the perception of the proposed activities by students from the two institutions, hinted at the challengingnature of COIL to all involved –both students and teachers.

Opis: What are the tools to effectively manage the new threats to the free flow of opinions to protect this essential precondition for a pluralist social and political system? As a basis for action at the community level, how can we protect users who use internet platforms to inform themselves on issues of public interest from disinformation attacks through cyberspace? Effective action against cyber-attacks that adversely affect certain fundamental rights requires a combination of instruments, creating the technological, economic, human and legal conditions for meaningful counter-measures. In legal terms, the guarantees that platform providers must offer each user to prevent cyber attacks and illegal content should be laid down, and legal instruments shou ld be put in place to ensure they are always available. In addition, in the event of misusing any content shared on the platform or of personal data made available to the operator, clear responsibilities should be established, and the extent to which the responsibility for protection lies with the platform operator or the user should be clarified. In our study, we outline regulatory options to address these challenges.

Opis: Statistical reasoning was one of the earliest methods to draw insights from data. However, over the last three decades, association rule mining and online analytical processing have gained massive ground in practice and theory. Logically, both association rule mining and online analytical processing have some common objectives, but they have been introduced with their own set of mathematical formalizations and have developed their specific terminologies. Therefore, it is difficult to reuse results from one domain in another. Furthermore, it is not easy to unlock the potential of statistical results in their application scenarios. The target of this paper is to bridge the artificial gaps between association rule mining, online analytical processing and statistical reasoning. We first provide an elaboration of the semantic correspondences between their foundations, i.e., itemset apparatus, relational algebra and probability theory. Subsequently, we propose a novel framework for the unification of association rule mining, online analytical processing and statistical reasoning. Additionally, an instance of the proposed framework is developed by implementing a sample decision support tool. The tool is compared with a state-of-the-art decision support tool and evaluated by a series of experiments using two real data sets and one synthetic data set. The results of the tool validate the framework for the unified usage of association rule mining, online analytical processing, and statistical reasoning. The tool clarifies in how far the operations of association rule mining and online analytical processing can complement each other in understanding data, data visualization and decision making.

Opis: This study sheds light on prospective primary teachers’ understanding of rational numbers. This is an experimental study that aims to evaluate prospective primary teachers’ mathematical and didactic knowledge of rational numbers through online formative assessment. The participants were 38 prospective primary teachers from a primary teacher education study program at a public university in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia. This study indicates that the prospective teachers have insufficient knowledge of rational numbers, and they possess better mathematical than didactic knowledge. This study also reveals a significant increase in prospective teachers’ mathematical and didactic scores from the first test to the second test.

Opis: To the Editor, Anti-choking suction devices represent an innovative first aid method designed to remove foreign body airway obstruction. Although they are not part of the current European Resuscitation Council guidelines,1 they are used by many healthcare professionals and laypersons.2, 3, 4 As with any medical devices, there appear to be many more affordable counterfeit and unbranded copies products on the market claiming to be anti-choking suction devices.5 In June 2024, the United Kingdom's Office for Product Safety and Standards issued a recall for counterfeit anti-choking suction devices sold through online marketplaces. It is stated that they are lacking certification marks (for example European conformity = CЄ), details of the manufacturer, unique identifiers and serial numbers on the device. There is also a possibility that they will not work and could worsen the situation by pushing obstruction further down the airway, due to their poor design and quality.6, 7 The aim of this review is to investigate the prevalence of counterfeit and unbranded anti-choking suction devices on the most widely used online marketplaces. We conducted a review using the keyword “anti-choking suction device” on the online marketplace AliExpress (AliExpress, China). The search was conducted in November 2023 and January 2025. The shipping country was set to Slovenia. We investigated the number of products found, the number of products sold and their prices. In November 2023, a total of 41 different anti-choking suction devices were identified, with an average price of €14.00 (SD ± 0.41) and over 3,324 units sold. By January 2025, the number of identified devices had increased to 59, with a higher average price of €16.27 (SD ± 26.66) and total sales exceeding 9,481 units. One of the counterfeit anti-choking suction devices was also purchased on AliExpress for €6.97. As shown in Fig. 1, the device lacked certification marks, manufacturer details, unique identifiers, and serial numbers. Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Open in a new tab An example of a counterfeit anti-choking suction device without certification marks. The results highlighted a significant increase in the number of counterfeit anti-choking suction devices sold, despite being limited to one marketplace from China. Compared to certified anti-choking suction devices on the market, counterfeit versions are three to four times cheaper, especially considering that they are single-use devices. The question arises whether consumers knowingly purchase counterfeit anti-choking suction devices to save money or if they are unaware that these devices are uncertified. Experts, however, can recognize these counterfeits by their distinct appearance, absence of labels and identifiers, lack of a valve, and incomplete instruction manuals.6, 7 Beyond the questionable characteristics of anti-choking suction devices, concerns also arise regarding variations in their working principles and the suction they generate—both critical factors for effective functionality.
