Why should teachers integrate ICT into the teaching and learning process? : Pre-service teachers perspectives

The inclusion of ICT in teaching and educational processes has become an irreversible fact. The degree of use of computers, Internet and software depends on many macro- and micro-social factors. Among the key factors related to the effective use of ICT in schools, the attitude to new media among educators, parents, students and management should be singled out. A group that requires special consideration is also the new teaching staff - students of teacher education courses. This is the future generation of teachers, the vast majority of whom grew up in the phase of intensive development of the information society. This text is an attempt to answer what attitudes to the use of ICT in education do the students of pedagogy have? Based on the analysis of qualitative data (students' statements) conducted in Poland in January 2022, it was noted that: 1) The use of ICTs at the current stage of development of the information society is a natural necessity; 2) The use of ICTs is something obvious for pupils and students also in the area of learning; 3) Teachers should use ICTs due to the increase of motivation and involvement; 4) ICTs have become a complement to analogue teaching means; 5) New media bring new opportunities in teaching and educational activities; 6) Teachers who use ICT regularly and effectively are considered more modern than those who use only analogue means of teaching; 7) ICT (e-learning) has become a necessity in modern schools, which was especially noticed during the COVID pandemic.

Cartesian Tensors

Mathematics instruction is often more effective when presented in a physical context. Schramm uses this insight to help develop students' physical intuition as he guides them through the mathematical methods required to study upper-level physics. Based on the undergraduate Math Methods course he has taught for many years at Occidental College, the text encourages a symbiosis through which the physics illuminates the math, which in turn informs the physics. Appropriate for both classroom and self-study use, the text begins with a review of useful techniques to ensure students are comfortable with prerequisite material. It then moves on to cover vector fields, analytic functions, linear algebra, function spaces, and differential equations. Written in an informal and engaging style, it also includes short supplementary digressions ('By the Ways') as optional boxes showcasing directions in which the math or physics may be explored further. Extensive problems are included throughout, many taking advantage of Mathematica, to test and deepen comprehension.

Finding periods of Zhegalkin polynomials

Abstract A period of a Boolean function f ( x 1 , …, x n ) is a binary n -tuple a = ( a 1 , …, a n ) that satisfies the identity f ( x 1 + a 1 , …, x n + a n ) = f ( x 1 , …, x n ). A Boolean function is periodic if it admits a nonzero period. We propose an algorithm that takes the Zhegalkin polynomial of a Boolean function f ( x 1 , …, x n ) as the input and finds a basis of the space of all periods of f ( x 1 , …, x n ). The complexity of this algorithm is n O ( d ) , where d is the degree of the function f . As a corollary we show that a basis of the space of all periods of a Boolean function specified by the Zhegalkin polynomial of a bounded degree may be found with complexity which is polynomial in the number of variables.
A method of construction of differentially 4-uniform permutations over<i>V<sub>m</sub></i>for even<i>m</i>

Abstract A generalization of the method of C. Carlet for constructing differentially 4-uniform permutations of binary vector spaces in even dimension 2 k is suggested. It consists in restricting APN-functions in 2 k +1 variables to a linear manifold of dimension 2 k . The general construction of the method is proposed and a criterion for its applicability is established. Power permutations to which this construction is applicable are completely described and a class of suitable not one-to-one functions is presented.
of Social Support on Self-Regulated Learning in Sarmag program Students

Social support is the existence of interpersonal interactions that are shown by providing assistance to other individuals, where the assistance is generally obtained from people who are meaningful to the individual concerned. In addition, social support also affects self-regulated learning which involves peer support, family support, facility support, information support and emotional support. Aspects of social support that affect self-regulated learning are emotional support, reward support, instrumental support, information support and social network support. The characteristics possessed by self-regulated learning are individuals who have the ability to be active in regulating their learning activities in various ways. The environment around the individual such as the family environment, community environment, academic environment, and group environment have an influence on individual success in learning. This study aims to see the effect of social support on self-regulated learning in Sarmag program students with a total of 121 students as respondents.

Assessing The Online Teaching Readiness Competencies Among The Faculty Of Adventist Medical Center College Iligan, Philippines

This study aims to determine the readiness competencies for online teaching and the confidence to teach online among the faculty in Adventist Medical Center College (AMCC) Iligan for the Academic Year 2020-2021. This study utilized a cross-sectional research design with forty-one (41) sampled Adventist Medical Center College (AMCC) voluntarily participating. Results indicated that the faculty rated very important and more confident in creating quizzes and tests and online assignments but noticeably scored low in creating instructional videos and managing grades online. Demographic profiles like age, gender, the department assigned, and years of teaching experience have no significant effect on the level of importance of online teaching competencies and their confidence to teach online. Further, the result signified that the perceived assessment of the faculty on the importance of the online teaching competencies and their ability to conduct online were comparable across their characteristics. A future study could examine which competencies the faculty would generate if asked to determine those they think essential and how those lists would compare to the competencies presented for the current study.
White-Box Attacks on Hate-speech BERT Classiﬁers in German with Explicit and Implicit Character Level Defense

Attention based Transformer models have achieved state-of-the-art results in natural language processing (NLP). However, recent work shows that the underlying attention mechanism can be exploited by adversaries to craft malicious inputs designed to induce spurious outputs, thereby harming model performance and trustworthi- ness. Unlike in the vision domain, the literature examining neural networks under adversarial conditions in the NLP domain is limited and most of it focuses mainly on the English language. In this paper, we first analyze the adver- sarial robustness of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) models for German datasets. Second, we introduce two novel NLP attacks. Namely, a character-level and a word-level attacks, both of which uti- lize attention scores to calculate where to inject character-level and word-level noise, respectively. Finally, we present two defense strategies against the attacks above. The first implicit character-level defense is a variant of adversar- ial training, which trains a new classifier capable of abstaining/rejecting certain (ideally adversarial) inputs. The other explicit character-level defense learns a latent representation of the complete training data vocabulary and then maps all tokens of an input example to the same latent space, enabling the replacement of all out of vocabulary tokens with the most similar in-vocabulary tokens based on the cosine similarity metric.

Analysis of Computer Visualization Systems in Order to Algorithmize the Rationale for their Use

Designing modern software involves the use of several frameworks. The framework reduces software development time. But frameworks have their own capabilities, disadvantages and advantages. The use of the framework also imposes certain architectural features on the project. Therefore, the engineer faces the intellectual task of creating a software architecture when you need to choose from an available set of frameworks and take into account the impact of these frameworks on the functioning of the system as a whole. The design result is an important step that has an impact on the success of the project. Therefore, this paper considers the problem of strengthening the objective component in the process of choosing a framework, namely the computer visualization system when creating a software architecture. As a result, a method for selecting a visualization system is proposed. This method is based on the analysis of tasks that are put forward in the visualization system, taking into account the requirements for the image to be built. On the basis of the formed tasks to the visualization system, the article synthesizes the requirements for the visualization systems. Also, according to experts, the importance of compliance with certain requirements is assessed. According to the characteristics of computer visualization systems and quantitative values, the evaluations provided by experts show the applicability of multicriterial optimization to separate the applicable visualization systems and choose the best one. In order to illustrate the choice of computer visualization system, the article uses an example of applying the method to a turn-based strategy game. The result is a method for selecting computer visualization systems, which is based on the created classifications of tasks facing the visualization system. The relationship between the purpose of the visualization system and the list of tasks that the visualization system must perform is shown. The paper identifies the stages that depend on subjective and objective factors. The results allow a structured approach to computer visualization systems in the software architecture design process.
A Physical-touch System that Gives Folders and Data Physicality to Increase the Perceptual Effect on a Computer

Today, many people use their own digital devices.One major example is computers.They are becoming smarter and store more functions, and the convenience has increased immensely.On the other hand, they are designed to be very unitary, and it is not possible for users to feel the operations and functions in a visual and experiential way.In this research, we assume that we can establish a new interaction with computers by "physical touch," by which we perceive objects experientially in reality without being clearly aware of it.In particular, we propose a system to change the "feel of files of a computer" in which a lot of documents are bundled.For example, the smoothness of the dragging movement changes depending on the amount of data in the file.Files with small amounts of data are set to be "light" and can be moved easily and quickly, while a file with a huge amount of data is "heavy".Even if the file is selected and dragged quickly on the interface, it cannot be moved at that speed, and it has to be moved slowly.This represents the weight and accompanying difficulty that comes along with the volume of actual paper documents, when holding them in reality.we reproduce this feature on a computer.
Feasibility study of Turning control for Inverted pendulum personal transporter platoon system

The Inverted pendulum Personal Transporter (PT) is getting familiar in Japan and other countries for sightseeing and security purposes. When sharing PTs in a large complex such as an airport or a shopping center, PT may be randomly distributed according to their usage, so an efficient method of moving PTs is required. Conventional one PT require one crew, and it is necessary to have sufficient number of crew members to move multiple PTs. The purpose of this study is to develop a control algorithm that enables the following PTs to maintain their formation and follow the preceding PT when it moves in an arbitrary trajectory using simulation. In this paper, in addition to the vehicle model and control method of the PT proposed in the previous study, the control logic of the two-wheel model to follow the preceding PT is added and examined. In addition, we evaluated the tracking performance by comparing the trajectories of the following PT and the preceding PT and evaluated the stability of the following PT based on the change in its posture.

Training Few-Shot Classification via the Perspective of Minibatch and Pretraining

Few-shot classification is a challenging task which aims to formulate the ability of humans to learn concepts from limited prior data. Recent progress in few-shot classification has featured meta-learning, in which a parameterized model for a learning algorithm is trained to learn the ability of handling classification tasks on extremely large episodes. In this work, we advance this few-shot classification paradigm by formulating it as a regular classification learning problem. We further propose multi-episode and cross-way training techniques, which respectively correspond to the minibatch and pretraining in regular classification problems for speeding up convergence in training. Experimental results on a state-of-the-art few-shot classification method (prototypical networks) demonstrate that both the proposed training strategies can highly accelerate the training process without accuracy loss for varying few-shot classification problems on Omniglot and miniImageNet.

Awards of Rescuers on the Water in the City of Tiflis in the Second Half of the XIX – Early XX Centurie

The relevance of the article is that the Water Rescue Society in the city of Tiflis was an organization that provides assistance to drowning people and consists of enthusiasts. At the turn of the twentieth century . The Maritime Ministry of Russia took care of a significant number of annual accidents that occurred on the reservoirs of the Russian Empire. The created Russian society of rescuers tried to establish branches in all significant provincial cities. Among the provincial rescue societies, the Tiflis organization stood out for its active professional activity and support from the official authorities, merchants and clergy. From the very beginning of its existence, members of the Tiflis Rescue Society have contributed to the national cause of saving drowning people. The purpose of the article is to analyze the award system of the Russian Society of rescuers and to characterize the merits of the Tiflis district public organization in rescuing drowning people in the province. Objectives of the article: With the help of little-known published reports of the Tiflis Rescue Society to analyze the process of formation of the Russian award system associated with the rescue of drowning. To consider the activities of the Russian Society of rescuers aimed at rewarding professional and voluntary rescuers of the Tiflis province. To identify the peculiarities of awarding the personnel of the Tiflis Rescue Society and to determine the achievements of the provincial public organization in the rescue of drowning. Methodology. The work used traditional and general scientific methods together with a historical and situational approach in the study of the features of encouraging and rewarding members of the Tiflis Rescue Society at the All-Russian level. Results. The award system formed by the Russian Society of rescuers, together with the distinctive signs of district organizations, were a significant incentive for the development of the cause of drowning rescue in pre-revolutionary Russia. The conclusions of the article contain an opinion on the effectiveness and attractiveness of the award system together with distinctive signs for district public organizations formed by the Russian Society of rescuers. The use of such an organizational approach contributed to the main task, i.e. popularization of the national cause of drowning rescue among professional rescuers and enthusiasts of the social movement.
Entanglement-Assisted Communication Surpassing the Ultimate Classical Capacity

We report experimental entanglement-assisted communication above the ultimate classical capacity set by the Holevo-Schumacher-Westmorel bound. A high-efficiency entanglement source and a phase-conjugate quantum receiver reap the benefit of pre-shared entanglement over lossy and noisy channels.
Neural ordinary differential equations and their probabilistic extension

This paper describes the transition from neural network architecture to ordinary differential equations and initial value problem. Two neural network architectures are compared: classical RNN and ODERNN, which uses neural ordinary differential equations. The paper proposes a new architecture of p-ODE-RNN, which allows you to achieve a quality comparable to ODE-RNN, but is trained much faster. Furthermore, the derivation of the proposed architecture in terms of random process theory is discussed.
