E-LEARNING CHALLENGES IN POLAND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC by Agieszka Parlińska

“…This new approach, and the purposeand added value of this study, is to enrich the knowledge of the use of new teaching and researchmethods gained during the Covid-19 pandemic and applicability to pandemics generally, as wellas continued use of these methods afterwards..To achieve the objective, the method of literature analysis and critique was used, as well as aratio analysis based on historical data from Statistics Poland (GUS), EUROSTAT and the author’sown first-hand observations as a university educator.The research results helped to formulate several conclusions regarding the factors whichinfluence effective e-learning, such as: internet access and quality; the availability of adequatesoftware, hardware and other tools; and the digital competence of teachers and students. …”

An Analysis Method for Time-, Frequency-, and Energy-Domain Characteristics of Downhole Microseismic Signals and Its Application by Xiao-xu Gao, Xiang-xu Pan, Guang-an Zhu

“…The research results show that, within the time domain, the transmitted waves are found to have the rapidly reducing velocity and a few wave crests; within the frequency domain, the fault plane presents a low-pass filtering effect on incident waves; within the energy domain, the fault generally shows the vibration-attenuating effect on MS signals. …”

Subjective Outcome Evaluation of the Project P.A.T.H.S.: Qualitative Findings Based on the Experiences of Program Participants by Daniel T. L. Shek, Rachel C. F. Sun

“…Based on the schools' evaluation reports, results of secondary data analyses on four open-ended questions showed that: (a) students felt that they had learned things at the personal, interpersonal, familial, and societal levels; (b) they appreciated the program design, instructors' performance, learning process, and program effectiveness; (c) they generally had positive comments on instructors attitude and teaching process; and (d) they made some suggestions on how the program and its implementation could be improved. …”

Persistent currents in a strongly interacting multicomponent Bose gas on a ring by Pecci, Giovanni, Aupetit-Diallo, Gianni, Albert, Mathias, Vignolo, Patrizia, Minguzzi, Anna

“…We relate this effect to the change of symmetry of the ground state under the effect of the artificial gauge field. Our results generalize the ones previously reported for fermionic mixtures with both attractive and repulsive interactions and highlight the role of symmetry in this effect.…”

Compressive Detection Using Sub-Nyquist Radars for Sparse Signals by Ying Sun, Jianjun Huang, Jingxiong Huang, Li Kang, Li Lei, Yi Tang

“…This paper investigates the compression detection problem using sub-Nyquist radars, which is well suited to the scenario of high bandwidths in real-time processing because it would significantly reduce the computational burden and save power consumption and computation time. A compressive generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector for sparse signals is proposed for sub-Nyquist radars without ever reconstructing the signal involved. …”
