PECULIARITIES OF METACOGNITIVE COMPETENCE DEVELOPED BY STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC SPECIALTIES AT ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSES

The article deals with the issue of metacognitive competence formation at students of non-linguistic specialties who study foreign languages at universities. The author defines the notion of metacognitive competence within the competence-based and person-centered approach to learning process. According to the literature review, it is stated that the term of metacognitive competence has been used for about 30 years by foreign scientists, and only some last years by the Ukrainian ones. That fact confirms insufficient awareness of the issue in Ukraine. The article reveals absence of common understanding of the concept “metacognitive competence” by the researchers, as they define it as “knowledge, abilities, and skills of effective learning”, “high motivation for learning”, “abilities and skills of effective interaction in learning,” and “abilities and skills of ongoing self-monitoring and self-regulation”.&nbsp; The author defines metacognitive competence as a set of knowledge, abilities, and skills of learning and interaction in the learning process due to certain personal characteristics. The main components of metacognitive competence of university students are mentioned in the text – motivation represented with educational motives, cognition represented with knowledge about ways of learning, management represented with the skills of practical fulfillment of the optimum training strategies, and the communication represented with abilities and skills needed for teamwork. During 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 academic years the author researched the English classes effectiveness that included workshop elements, aimed at developing metacognitive competence. One hundred first-year students of National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” that studied the subject “General English” were surveyed. Their initial knowledge level was B1 (Intermediate). The study has shown high effectiveness of English classes with psychotraining elements, aimed at developing metacognitive competence in students. The following results were reached: increased responsibility and educational independence levels, increased realization of the necessity to study English for personal and professional needs, increase in the cognition component of metacognitive competence as well as improved teamwork skills. Further studies of metacognitive competence developed by the students of various specialties within the context of their English language studies at Ukrainian institutions of higher education were suggested. &nbsp

Information And Communication Technologies In Technical (ICTs) And Vocational Education And Training (Tvet) (Effective Integration Toward Knowledge Management In The Changing World Of Work)

The relevance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the field of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) cannot be overemphasized in community studies. The era of work is changing constantly like ICT, thus creating more challenges for workers in the face of the current globalization in the 21st century and the University responsible for its provision. Although many studies explain and demonstrate the extent to which ICT is applied to different educational disciplines, the literature on effective ICT integration in the field of Technical Education and Training (TVET) is limited and requires further exploration to highlight the level of TVET requirements for ICT integration. Therefore, this paper attempts to add to the ICT integration in TVET by making it clear; the need for effective ICT integration in TVET, the factors that influence effective ICT integration in TVET, the overview of the challenges for effective ICT integration in TVET. This paper proposes for the planning and management of ICT resources on TVET.
The Determinants of the CSRD Categories: Empirical Evidence from Saudi Arabia

The aim of this paper is to elevate the understanding of corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) by analysing the level of CSRD related to threem a in categories (human resources, community involvement and economic disclosure).It examined whether firm characteristics (size, age, return on assets [ROA]and leverage) and corporate governance aspects (governmental, managerial and foreign ownership, the board of director's size, the number of independent members on the board of directors, CEO duality and audit firm size) are potential determinants of CSRD in Saudi-listed companies.Furthermore, three theoretical frame works (i.e., stakeholder, legitimacy and agency theory) were used to efficiently analyse the findings of the level of CSRD in Saudi Arabia.This study adopted a quantitative approach to examine CSRD practices in the annual reports of 164 companies listed on the Tadawul Stock Exchangein 2012.An information index was devised to collect the data, which were examined using negative binomial regression.The results indicate that firm age is the most influential factor that affects the three categories, where older firms disclose more social information than newly established firms while larger-sized firms disclose more information about human resources and community involvement than smaller firms.Moreover, profitability and debt level are positively significant in disclosing economic information.Finally, human resources practices are significantly reported by most Saudi Arabian firms.

Saudi Gender Emotional Expressions in Using Instagram

There are plentiful studies exploring gender emotional differences. Gender and emotion stereotypes make people believe that there are certain emotions associated with each gender and this is supported by many studies. The purpose of this research is to analyze the emotional expressions of Saudi men and women in Instagram, a social networking service. This paper aims to explore the Saudi differences of emotional expressions. Also, if gender emotion stereotypes apply on these expressions or not. Data is collected through corpus analysis of Arabic comments for a certain post on Instagram. The results of this study demonstrate that there are differences in Saudis&amp;#39; expressions of emotions in which each gender uses different expressions. Additionally, gender stereotypes of emotions are applied to their emotional expressions that is men express negative emotions more while women express positive emotions. Another result is that women are found to be more emotional than men. Overall, the findings contribute to increase understanding of online emotional expressions of both Saudi genders.
SECURE SURVEILLANCE FRAMEWORK USING PROBABILISTIC IMAGE ENCRYPTION

This paper proposes a secure surveillance framework for Internet of things (IoT) systems by intelligent integration of video summarization and image encryption. First, an efficient video summarization method is used to extract the informative frames using the processing capabilities of visual sensors. When an event is detected from key frames, an alert is sent to the concerned authority autonomously. As the final decision about an event mainly depends on the extracted keyframes, their modification during transmission by attackers can result in severe losses. To tackle this issue, we propose a fast probabilistic and lightweight algorithm for the encryption of keyframes prior to transmission, considering the memory and processing requirements of constrained devices that increase its suitability for IoT systems. Our experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of robustness, execution time, and security compared to other image encryption algorithms. Furthermore, our framework can reduce the bandwidth, storage, transmission cost, and the time required for analysts to browse large volumes of surveillance data and make decisions about abnormal events, such as suspicious activity detection and fire detection in surveillance applications.
Philosophic representations of concepts “space” and “time”: from physics to music

The article discusses various philosophical ideas about space and time. It is indicated that these representations are systemic and hierarchical. The «pyramid» of these ideas is based on the most fundamental, physical concepts of the objective properties and laws of physical reality, such as the relationship of duration and the relationship of length. At the next «stage» they are complemented by the specifics of chemical and biological processes in living matter. The notions of social space and time are even more complex, which are due to the more complex nature of social processes and phenomena. However, all three groups of ideas (physical, biological and social space and time) reflect the objective properties and laws of reality. The next group of views reflects the subjective perception of duration and extent. They function on the basis of objective representations, but fix the features of the perception of the subject acting in a certain cultural «field». These primarily include psychological space and time. They have a complex structure and are associated with the daily life of the individual, which is due to both biological and social factors. The properties of this space and time are set by sensual and rational abilities of cognition, and it is the psychological space and time that serves as the ontological basis for even more complex forms of perception – artistic space and time. Art space and time are attributes of artistic fictional being, with the help of which the artistic image gets the opportunity for development and its holistic perception. A subspecies of artistic space and time – musical space-time continuum. This variety exists within a certain aspect of human artistic activity – musical art. Music is a temporary type of art; formally, music can be represented as an acoustic stream of sounds that is intonationally and rhythmically organized and unfolding in time, having a complex structure and carrying a certain semantic and communicative load. Musical time or time in music is a complex and multifaceted concept. The space in music is the visual and aesthetic images of the human imagination, caused by sound effects, these are internal metaphorical ideas about the properties of space, corresponding to a specific semantic context. Thus, speaking of music space and time, it can be argued that they are the «conceptual pinnacle» of the development of ideas about space and time in general and include many of the most important properties of other forms and types of space and time. All these forms lead their "genealogy" from the concepts of physical space and time.

Bayes Theorem Extends to Overlapping Hypotheses

Bayes theorem extends to arbitrary overlapping hypotheses if a local probability describes the inherent uncertainty of each element in the overlap. This local probability avoids over-counting the overlap regions. It arises by normalizing the indicator function of each set hypothesis in the partition by the sum or integral of all the partition indicator functions. The default probability is that an element belongs equally likely to each overlapping hypothesis that contains it. This reduces to a trivial binary distribution in the extreme case of an exact partition with no overlap. The resulting fuzzy or uncertainty-weighted set events give a generalized theorem on total probability. This result gives in turn a Bayes theorem for any partition or collection of overlapping hypotheses. Applications include the overlapping pattern data that trains deep classification networks.
Accelerating Randomly Projected Gradient with Variance Reduction

Parallel training methods of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for deep learning have attracted a huge attention because of excellent scalability properties. In the parallel training methods, workers and a server exchange their gradient vectors (or parameter vectors) each other. However, the communications between workers and server take a lot of time since the dimension of the gradient vectors is extremely high. Transmission needs to cater for network bandwidth, so message compression is necessary. Although message compression algorithms have been proposed for the parallel training methods, there are concerns about the stability and the performance of the compressed training algorithms. In general, the compressed training algorithms generate random message vectors, and the variance hinders the training. In this paper, we propose a novel compressed training algorithm that uses random projection with a variance reduction trick. Here, we introduce an average gradient vector that reduces the variance. We test the proposed compression method with AlexNet, ResNet20 models with CIFAR100 data. The proposed algorithm shows almost the same performance as the original SGD while uses 16 times compressed message.
Laser Beak Man: A Unique Sonic Perspective

Laser Beak Man is a character created by Australian artist Tim Sharp in 1999, entering the international stage in 2004, and making its theatre debut in 2017. It is this theatre debut (prod. Dead Puppets Society, La Boite Theatre Company, and Brisbane Festival) with which this research project is concerned. The research project was concerned primarily with translating Sharp’s unique perspective, and involved close work with the artist and his manager to develop effective communication that accounted for Sharp’s autism and enabled the trans-dimensional expansion of his personal sonic world into a context accessible to large audiences. The devising process was therefore predominantly concerned with developing understandings of Sharp’s unique internal world, and translating those communications to the sonics of a live theatre context. The research project found that, through constant iterative processes underpinned by design thinking, it was possible to translate the previously unheard sonics of a silent world to a live context in a way that satisfied both the original artist and audiences alike, showing new possibilities for trans-dimensional creative processes. In early 2020, the most polished version of Laser Beak Man yet was performed at the Sydney Opera House, one of the most prestigious venues in the world, to positive reviews. This performance was the culmination of the collaboration undertaken with Sharp—a final indication of the process’s success.
Educación tecnológica e inclusiva para fortalecer el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas en grupos ancestrales tsáchilas

Computer-based teaching-learning processes are of great importance at present for the strengthening of cognitive skills in ancestral peoples, as well as the conservation of ethnic identity where there are still United Educational Units such as the Patricio Romero Barberis Educational Center from the Otongo Mapali commune in Santo Domingo-Ecuador. The present project, more than an investigation, tries to implement new educational software alternatives in order to be an aid to teachers and children for the development and strengthening of cognitive abilities in ethnic groups of a Tsachila community. The research approach is qualitative type, based on a documentary design which allows to have a scope of descriptive research linked to the elements that make up educational software, it is intended for children between the second and fourth year of basic general education of the commune mentioned above. The Adobe Animate platform was used as development tools for the design or layout part and for programming the Action Script 3.0 language under the Object Oriented paradigm. As a result, four modules are presented in which different cognitive abilities of thinking are organized through practical exercises.
A Simple Malaria Transmission Model Applied to DRC

Malaria is endemic in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and it is one of the most severe diseases in the country. In this paper, we develop and analyze malaria transmission model with saturated incidence rate. The basic reproduction number, R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> , was calculated by the next generation technique. The model has a malaria-free equilibrium (MFE) which is locally asymptomatically stable when R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> <; 1. After that, we simulated the malaria data of Democratic Republic of the Congo that was reported by World Health Organization and predict the trends of the disease in the future. Our simulation results show that the malaria is endemic disease in the country. Moreover, we perform sensitivity analysis of R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> . According to our simulation and sensitive analysis results, we give some suggestions to reduce and control the disease in DRC.

ASSESSMENT OF LIBRARY WEEDING AS A TOOL FOR THE SUSTAINABLE INFORMATION SERVICES PROVISION IN TANZANIA

In this study the data was collected from librarians in Tanzania. The purpose was to assess weeding library collection for the sustainable collection development. The study involved the total of 120 librarians from various libraries in the country. The study was purely qualitative by nature. Three specific objectives guided the study: to establish a status of weeding Practice in Tanzania; to identify criteria used for weeding library collection in the study area and to identify challenges facing process of library weeding in a study area. Data was collected through questionnaires and analysed by SPSS. Among other issues the study revealed; lack of weeding library collections, lack of weeding policies guiding library collection; fear of creating spaces without new replacement, lack of funds to procure new replacement; no specific time allocated for weeding collections and the negative perceptions of management towards weeding. The study therefore came up with some recommendations: increasing of budget for acquisitions, need to put more emphasis on the use of electronic resources, needs for libraries allocating specific time for weed, as well as keeping user statistics easily to determine weeding of non-use resources.
A hybrid model of path planning for autonomous flying vehicle in urban airspace

This paper presents an operational approach for decentralized agent-based path planning for autonomous flying vehicles such as electrical vertical takeoff and landing that can perform in the obstacle-laden environment. This concept is considered as a hybrid model with three modes consist of, the optimal path planning through obstacles, cooperative conflict resolution, and non-cooperative conflict resolution. In the development of this concept, the direct Radau-pseudospectral method has been employed. The nonlinear point mass equations of motion with the realistic operational constraints of the flying vehicle in three-dimensional space are utilized for path planning. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been demonstrated via presenting a case study in minimum time including changing modes and forced to fly in the obstacle-laden environment.
