Reflection as the basis of students' professional skills

In the article the authors consider reflection as the basis of professional skills of students. In the modern higher school of Ukraine the problem of the quality of professional skills of students after graduation is higher. Today, unfortunately, the quality of domestic specialists does not meet modern requirements, because having a large number of free economic education, there is a lack of qualifications of a significant number of young graduates in various fields of training. We have many specialists with diplomas, but a lack of staff capable of high professional qualifications to solve production and management problems. It is these facts that necessitate the study of these issues and the search for answers to ways to solve them. The most important problem in the development of education is the development of such tools that would act as cross-cutting, integrating factors in structuring the education system in various types of professional activities. In the opinion of the authors, in pedagogical activities in the field of higher education such a tool can be reflection. The concept of reflection originated in philosophy and meant the process of thinking of the individual about what is happening around, in his own consciousness. In psychological research, reflection is considered as one of the important mechanisms that ensure human adaptability to new operating conditions. In pedagogy, reflection is understood, first of all, as students' awareness of the results of their own activities in the classroom. Reflection in educational activities is the process of assimilation of educational material by a student through its comprehension, analysis, generalization, imposition on one's own experience and already existing knowledge with the help of intellectual abilities, erudition and critical thinking. Obstacles to the development of reflection are: objective (lack of motivation, lack of self-interest, inadequate self-esteem, insufficient formation of the processes of analysis, evaluation, etc.) and subjective (self-doubt).
Meta-Surveillance in the Digital Enclosure

This article revisits the concept of the “digital enclosure” in the context of recent developments in augmented and virtual reality. It develops the notion of the “recession of the social” to consider how the platforming of a growing range of activities envisioned by the metaverse enables the governance of virtual environments in ways that foster the suppression and misrecognition of irreducible forms of societal interdependence. In so doing, it develops some additional concepts including that of “granular biopower,” which relies on the personalized and targeted modulation of shared space. It also considers the implications of an emerging “AI divide” between those who wield automated decision systems and those who are subject to them.

Multi-Stage Protection Using Pixel Selection Technique for Enhancing Steganography

Steganography and data security are extremely important for all organizations. This research introduces a novel stenographic method called multi-stage protection using the pixel selection technique (MPPST). MPPST is developed based on the features of the pixel and analysis technique to extract the pixel's characteristics and distribution of cover-image. A pixel selection technique is proposed for hiding secret messages using the feature selection method. The secret file is distributed and embedded randomly into the stego-image to make the process of the steganalysis complicated. The attackers not only need to deter which pixel values have been selected to carry the secret file, they also must rearrange the correct sequence of pixels. MPPST generates a complex key that indicates where the encrypted elements of the binary sequence of a secret file are. The analysis stage undergoes four stages, which are the calculation of the peak signal-to-noise ratio, mean squared error, histogram analysis, and relative entropy. These four stages are used to demonstrate the characteristics of the cover image. To evaluate the proposed method, MPPST is compared to the standard technique of Least Significant Bit (LSB) and other algorithms from the literature. The experimental results show that MPPST outperforms other algorithms for all instances and achieves a significant security enhancement.
Towards robust complexity indices in linguistic typology

Abstract There is high hope that corpus-based approaches to language complexity will contribute to explaining linguistic diversity. Several complexity indices have consequently been proposed to compare different aspects among languages, especially in phonology and morphology. However, their robustness against changes in corpus size and content hasn’t been systematically assessed, thus impeding comparability between studies. Here, we systematically test the robustness of four complexity indices estimated from raw texts and either routinely utilized in crosslinguistic studies (Type-Token Ratio and word-level Entropy) or more recently proposed (Word Information Density and Lexical Diversity). Our results on 47 languages strongly suggest that traditional indices are more prone to fluctuation than the newer ones. Additionally, we confirm with Word Information Density the existence of a cross-linguistic trade-off between word-internal and across-word distributions of information. Finally, we implement a proof of concept suggesting that modern deep-learning language models can improve the comparability across languages with non-parallel datasets.
Business Trends in Digital Era: A Review

The business has a unique function in sustainable economic growth since it not only helps realize creative potential but also generates dispersed employment opportunities and additional funding for budgets at various levels. The use of various digital technologies within a business model that enables a company to have a variety of value-producing opportunities within the company is referred to as digitalization. Additionally, the field of management accounting has seen a significant degree of change with the aid of digitalization, which has improved it significantly. Furthermore, digitalization can have an impact on an organization's business models, and it enhances management accounting in a company setting. According to Business Trends in the Digital Era, trends drive transformations. Cities with greater competitiveness will transition from industrial centers to industry and innovation hubs, and businesses with greater competitiveness will transition from production to product and innovation centers. The secret to success is innovation! The current trend in development is innovation-driven. This article summarizes all the new trends of business in this digital era.
RDF Subgraph Matching by Means of Star Decomposition

&lt;p&gt;With the continuous development of the network, the scale of RDF data is becoming larger and larger. In the face of large-scale RDF data processing, the traditional database query method has been unable to meet the needs. Due to the limited characteristics of subgraph matching, most existing algorithms often have the phenomenon that many subgraphs are repeatedly traversed during the query process, resulting in a large number of intermediate result sets and low query efficiency. The core problem to be solved is how to efficiently match subgraphs. In order to improve the query efficiency of RDF subgraphs in massive RDF data graphs and solve the problem of repeated calculation of some graphs in the query process of RDF subgraphs, an RDF subgraph query algorithm based on star decomposition is proposed in this paper. The algorithm uses graph structure to decompose RDF subgraphs into stars and uses a custom node cost model to calculate the query order of the star subgraphs. By decomposing, the amount of communication among subgraphs is reduced, and the communication cost for query processing is lowered. Moreover, utilizing the query order for RDF subgraph matching can effectively reduce the generation of intermediate result sets and accelerate the efficiency of subgraph matching. On this basis, the performances of the proposed algorithm and several other widely used algorithms are compared and analyzed on two different datasets. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm has better advantages in database recreation, memory size, and execution efficiency. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
Open-Source and Proprietary Library Automation Software: A Comparative Academic Librarian's Perspective

The purpose of this study was to get an understanding of how academic librarians perceive open-source and proprietary library software. The researchers used a survey research approach and a self-constructed questionnaire as data collection tool. The study targeted 103 library professionals working at HEC-recognized degree awarding institutions (DAIs) and universities in Lahore, both public and private sectors, yielding an 84% response rate. To meet research objectives, descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. Study findings explored that library software should have the facility of advanced searching, library standards, and a user-friendly interface. Comparative analysis revealed that open-source library software contains more modules and requires highly skilled employees. On the other hand, human resources with minor skills can use proprietary software. Factors that prevent adopting OSS for academic libraries include a lack of technical support, skilled and motivated library professionals, inadequate cooperation between supervisors and subordinates, and insufficient training opportunities. Experienced library professionals should guide and offer full cooperation in the selection and implementation of software. Library schools and associations should play a decisive role through school curriculum and professional development programs in preparing graduates and practitioners for embracing modern technologies. Open-source software developers should also organize training programs for software users to work independently in libraries.
Image Generation from Text Using StackGAN with Improved Conditional Consistency Regularization

Image generation from natural language has become a very promising area of research on multimodal learning in recent years. In recent years, the performance of this theme has improved rapidly, and the release of powerful tools has caused a great response in various places. The Stacked Generative Adversarial Networks (StackGAN) model is a representative method to generate images from text descriptions. Although it can generate high-resolution images, it involves several limitations; some of the images generated are typically unintelligible, and mode collapse may occur. Therefore, in this study, we aim to solve these two problems to generate images that follow a given text description more closely. First, we incorporate a new consistency regularization technique for conditional generation tasks into StackGAN, called Improved Consistency Regularization or ICR. The ICR technique learns the meaning of data by matching the semantic information of input data before and after data augmentation, and can also stabilize learning in adversarial networks. In this research, this method mainly suppresses mode collapse by expanding the variation of generated images. However, this method may lead to excessive variations in the generated images, which may result in images that do not match the meaning of the input text or that are ambiguous. Therefore, we further propose a new regularization method called ICCR as a modification of ICR, which is designed to perform conditional generation tasks and eliminate the negative impacts of the generator. This method realized the generation of various images along the input text. The proposed StackGAN with ICCR performed 16% better than StackGAN and 4% better than StackGAN with ICR and AttnGAN on the Inception Score using the CUB dataset. AttnGAN, similar to StackGAN, is a GAN-based text-to-image model that incorporates the attention mechanism, which has achieved great results in recent years. It is very important that our proposed model, which incorporates ICCR into a simple model, obtained better results than AttnGAN. In addition, StackGAN with ICCR was effective in eliminating mode collapse. The probability of mode collapse in the original StackGAN was 20%, while in StackGAN with ICCR the probability was 0%. In the questionnaire survey, our proposed method was rated 18% higher than StackGAN with ICR. This indicates that ICCR is more effective for conditional tasks than ICR.
Digital Communications as Means of Innovative Activity of Public Libraries in Ukraine

The aim of the article is to represent modern digital communication as an innovative mean of public libraries in Ukraine, and the importance of its development in crisis phenomena conditions. The research methodology founds on the application of a set of general scientific methods (generalisation, analysis, synthesis, prognostication), and special librarian ones. The organic combination of systemic, sociocommunicative, structural and functional research ways has contributed to the achievement of the set goal. The scientific novelty of the study consists in substantiating the value approach to the individualisation of public libraries service activity, when providing a friendly, comfortable communication environment for the user in conditions of digitalisation of social processes becomes the leading aim. Library innovations have been singled out. They are based on innovative information technologies, but have different social and technological grounds, in particular: organisational, service, product, technical, business. Conclusions. In current conditions, public libraries play the role of information hubs, where information streams flow for their further processing and redistribution according to users’ needs. The main goal of individualising the service activity is to provide a user-friendly and comfortable communication environment. The variety of innovations that have rapidly met library activities have different social and technological grounds. We have highlighted the following: organisational, service, product, technical, business ones. Nowadays, the activity of blighty public libraries is developing in innovative directions using various channels of communication with users, in particular, their own sites, blogs, social networks, messengers, online platforms, media formats, channels in Tik- Tok and YouTube. Libraries of Ukraine fill the information space with their own products (databases, electronic catalogues, collections of digitised publications, etc.), provide virtual services, organise access to external resources, etc. The implementation of modern information technologies into library processes has brought library and information users’ services to a new level. The library digital model of today makes it possible to conduct a full-fledged dialogue with distant users, and allow them to access library services at the same level as those readers who work with information directly in book collections.
Interactive AR Book As Media For Educating Children About Colorism in Jakarta

The obsession with skin whiteness as a symbol of beauty has long been rampant in the Asian continent, including Indonesia. During the colonial period in Indonesia, white women had become beauty icons, as shown in old magazines. Research and the media have shown that colorism remains largely ignored in the modern era. This study aims to find an effective way to educate the younger generation about the problem of colorism. The research target was limited to the city of Jakarta by observing and interviewing six to eight-year-old students at two local schools in the South. The methods used in this study were interviews with child psychology experts and focus group discussions with the target market. The results show that the stigma of colorism exists among children in big and modern cities like Jakarta. There is a need for education and triggering action on this issue. Using an interactive children’s AR book can be an educational and emotional tool for understanding colorism. AR features deepen the story through animated illustrations and increase interaction with readers.&#x0D; Keywords: colorism; educating; children; AR book; illustration
Public Libraries of Ukraine in Terms of the Martial State: Losses and Challenges

The purpose of the article is to research and generalize the consequences of the destruction and loss of public libraries of Ukraine during the full-scale offensive of Russia on the territory of Ukraine from February 24, 2022.&#x0D; The research methodology is based on both general scientific methods - analysis, synthesis, and informative, retrospective research methods are used, which are used to monitor the state of public libraries during the Russian military aggression on the territory of Ukraine and the occupation of certain territories from February 2022.&#x0D; The scientific novelty of the study consists in the systematization of a wide range of actual material on the state of Ukrainian libraries during the Russian military aggression; for the first time, separate statistical data and informational materials on the loss and destruction of public libraries during the full-scale offensive of the Russian Federation from February 2022 were introduced into scientific circulation.&#x0D; Conclusions. Studying the consequences of the destruction and loss of public libraries since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine, it is possible to determine the main trends:&#x0D; &#x0D; there is a reduction in the network of public libraries in all regions of Ukraine, especially in war zones;&#x0D; there are processes of destruction and damage (full or partial) of library buildings, loss of material and technical means (personal computers, duplicating equipment, multimedia equipment, furniture, etc.);&#x0D; the complete or partial loss of library funds by individual public libraries continues, especially in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Donetsk and other frontline regions;&#x0D; now losses during the war are already recorded, but the determined amount of damage to public libraries is quite approximate, it will increase with the continuation of the war;&#x0D; regardless of the difficult situation in the conditions of martial law and the continuation of armed aggression, public libraries mobilized all available resources to carry out volunteer, social, psychological and informational activities.&#x0D; &#x0D; Given that libraries play a significant role in preserving national interests, the problem of protecting library funds in wartime is an important component of the Ukrainian state's cultural policy. The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy must now, without waiting for the end of the war, to develop, together with other state structures, proposals for the restoration of damaged library buildings, the preservation of existing and the creation of new funds. The main tasks of librarians should also be to preserve for future generations the memory of the heroic struggle of Ukrainians for their state during the armed Russian aggression, the systematization of documentary evidence about the combat path of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, volunteer battalions, the activities of the territorial defense, volunteers, and the facts of the crimes of the Russian aggressors during the temporary occupation of certain regions of Ukraine.
SOCIOCULTURAL ADAPTATION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FROM NEIGHBORING AND DISTANT COUNTRIES: INTEGRATING ANALYTICAL CONTEXTS

This article presents a comparative study of the sociocultural adaptation of international students coming to Russia from neighboring (former Soviet republics) and distant countries and studying at the universities of the South Russian region. The preliminary overview of the studies reflects the different contexts in which the problem of adaptation is studied: economic, political, ethno-cultural-differential, and socio-identitarian. It is noted that the Russian approach to the organization of the educational process in groups of international students is characterized by its integrative nature. The implementation of educational tasks includes communicative opportunities for adaptation. This increases the well-being of international students in everyday life. At the same time, concern for the quality of the educational process and advanced teaching technologies affects the prestige and, consequently, the economic competitiveness of the university and the international status of Russian higher education. The study of various aspects of international students’ adaptation – psychological (resources) and sociocultural (expression) – was conducted on a group of 397 individuals, mainly from countries with Eastern culture, 247 men and 150 women. Among them, 110 were from distant countries, and 287 were from neighboring countries. We used an express diagnosis method developed based on an adapted version of the method “Self-assessment of psychological adaptability” by A.L. Svensitsky and the scales “Social commitment to the country” and “Cultural commitment to the country” from the questionnaire by S.V. Frolova. Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis of the obtained data. The psychological and sociocultural adaptation of respondents from both subgroups showed a similar correlation between adaptation resources and their expressions at p 0.01. At the same time, significant differences between the samples were found in the indicators. The students who came to study from distant countries (Asian and African countries) showed low psychological (active and communicative) potential for successful sociocultural adaptation, while they had high expectations for successful adaptation. Improving their adaptation potential through educational means can be achieved by combining academic work with problem-solving activities in the educational, vocational, social, and communication domains. Students from neighboring countries (former Soviet republics) based their claims of successful adaptation on the social ties between the countries but simultaneously showed a distance from Russian cultural values. In this case, the work of educators would be effective if they continued to develop positive dynamics for intercultural relations and incorporate the traditions of interethnic good neighborliness on the territory of the southern region of Russia.
