🌍📚 Horizons – International Scientific Journal (HISJ) ја потврдува својата посветеност кон Целите за одржлив развој (SDGs)

Почнувајќи од јули 2026 година, Horizons – International Scientific Journal (HISJ) ја усогласува својата уредувачка мисија и издавачките активности со Целите за одржлив развој на Обединетите нации (SDGs), со цел да поттикне висококвалитетни интердисциплинарни истражувања кои придонесуваат кон одржливиот развој и унапредувањето на научното знаење. 🌱🔬

Како мултидисциплинарно научно списание, HISJ првенствено придонесува кон:

🎓 SDG 4 – Квалитетно образование
💡 SDG 9 – Индустрија, иновации и инфраструктура
🤝 SDG 17 – Партнерства за остварување на целите

преку промовирање на научната извонредност, иновациите, интердисциплинарната соработка и глобалната размена на знаење. 🌐

Оваа заложба ја одразува и стратешката определба на Универзитетот „Св. Климент Охридски“ – Битола (УКЛО) за одржлив развој и неговото активно учество во SustainED University Coalition. 🌍

SustainED University Coalition, воспоставена како национално партнерство во високото образование во соработка со Обединетите нации, има за цел унапредување на SDGs и Агендата 2030 преку интегрирање на принципите на одржливоста во студиските програми, истражувањето, институционалните политики и универзитетските иницијативи.🤝🌱

Во зависност од тематската област на објавените трудови, HISJ придонесува и кон други SDGs, вклучувајќи:

🏥 SDG 3 – Добро здравје и благосостојба
📈 SDG 8 – Пристојна работа и економски раст
⚖️ SDG 10 – Намалување на нееднаквостите
🏙️ SDG 11 – Одржливи градови и заедници
♻️ SDG 12 – Одговорна потрошувачка и производство
🌡️ SDG 13 – Климатска акција

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new research article in Horizons:

“ENHANCING MEASUREMENT SCIENCE EDUCATION THROUGH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND MODERN PEDAGOGIES”

📄 https://ojs.uklo.edu.mk/index.php/horizons/article/view/596

This study, authored by Mare Srbinovska, Marco Faifer, and Milan Dinčić, investigates the current state of Measurement Science education in engineering programs across Europe. The research highlights the gap between traditional teaching approaches and the growing need for exposure to emerging technologies such as Digital Twins, Industry 5.0, and Artificial Intelligence.

Key findings reveal that while students grasp fundamental measurement principles, there is limited integration of active learning, hands-on practice, and industry engagement. The paper offers recommendations for modernizing curricula to better prepare students for the rapidly evolving engineering workforce.

Horizons is proud to showcase research that drives innovation in engineering education and promotes the adoption of modern pedagogies and technologies.

📢 New Publication Announcement

We are pleased to share the publication of the research article “Allpass-Based Dual-Notch Filter with Closely Spaced Notch Frequencies” in Horizons - International Scientific Journal.

🔍 About the article
This paper presents a novel method for designing a digital filter with two closely spaced notch frequencies, implemented through a parallel connection of two all-pass filters. By introducing a pure delay as one of the all-pass sections, the proposed design achieves an approximately linear phase response, while maintaining flexibility in phase shaping. Compared to conventional approaches with piecewise-constant phase, this method enables higher filter orders to significantly reduce approximation errors.
