Augmenting Beyond the Physical: DMUConstellation, a Mixed Reality Exhibition Experience that Promotes Participatory Engagement and Distributed Access

Today’s technologies allow us to reconsider how we see and experience reality. Through the development of an interactive and immersive Augmented Reality (AR) application created alongside a physical installation, this paper investigates how AR can provide layers of information that support physical exhibitions while also taking the knowledge produced for the exhibition outside of the contexts and boundaries of the gallery. It highlights the immersive qualities emerging through extended-reality technologies and the ‘phygital future’ we are now beginning to see in the space of exhibitions. Architectural exhibitions are a mode of disseminating information produced by practitioners and academics about innovative methodologies in research and practice. However, traditionally, this information has been bound to the physical exhibition space, only providing access to those able to visit the site. AR allows for the dissolution of this physical boundary, therefore serving a dual role. On one hand, it can enhance the on-site experience, adding new digital layers of information that would not be possible to include otherwise and providing a more immersive knowledge experience that can be more easily understood and remembered. On the other hand, it can be experienced off-site widening access to and dissemination of valuable learnings. This was created through a participatory design methodology, assembled with AR guidance, and experienced on-site over several weeks.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PRESCHOOL EDUCATION: POINTS OF CONTACT

The relevance of research is due to the fact that digital technologies are entering the lives of children who are in contact with tablets, phones, laptops. At the same time, artifi cial intelligence is becoming our reality and develops much faster than we as individuals can keep up with it. Adults are currently facing a real challenge in determining the limits and accessibility of digital devices for children, and in enforcing these limits. The general concern is about how to make these devices “assistants” in raising a child and prevent them from becoming “tools that distract attention”. The purpose of the study is to consider the possibilities of using artifi cial intelligence resources in preschool education. Research methods included online survey, conversation, comparison, analysis, observation. Sample consisted of  preschoolers,  teachers and  parents. Main results show that when analyzing an online survey of teachers, it turned out that the majority ( teachers, .%) did not know about the possibilities of using artifi cial intelligence in the educational process with preschoolers. Three quarters (% or  teachers) try to use digital technologies and are trained in their use in working with children but do it irregularly. .% of parents ( people) support the use of modern technologies within the preschool educational organization. .% of respondents ( parents) consider it expedient to use the possibilities of artifi cial intelligence in kindergarten. The results of a conversation with children made it possible to identify the preferences of preschoolers when creating images of fairy-tale heroes and characters of famous fairy tales using artifi cial intelligence. The results of comparing the preferences of the formed image and the already familiar fairy-tale character (Cheburashka) are presented. An analysis of fairy tales composed with the help of artifi cial intelligence is also offered. Conclusion. The infl uence of modern technologies, in particular artifi cial intelligence, on preschool education is expressed in the fact that artifi cial intelligence is suitable for the visual perception of fairy-tale characters by students while being completely unsuitable for their independent composition.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AFFECT AND INTELLECT IN THE DIGITAL WORLD: AN INSTRUMENTAL APPROACH

Relevance. The digital society has become a new challenge for the psychological theory and methodology. The specifi city of the action of information as a special type of tool, related to different sociocultural contexts, was studied by A.R. Luria in Uzbekistan, as well as in comparative study of the primates and children held together with L.S. Vygotsky. Now we need a theoretical concept that could reveal new possibilities of cultural-historical psychology. Purpose of the study. The development of global information networks leads to an increase in the volume of generalized information. This puts the issues of information culture at the center of research already at preschool age. The methodology of an instrumental approach is based on a transformed scheme of a tool (sign) and on the idea of interiorization of the instrument-sign, which can be both the information and the way of operationalizing new technologies. Research methods and sample. Cognitive (L.Venger, pictogram), Social, Emotion (СAT), interview were used. Preschoolers of - years (each n=) took part. Main results of a three-year monitoring of social, cognitive and emotional development level in children aged - years showed the positive and negative consequences of socialization in the digital space. Learning in a mixed space, on the one hand, increases the overall intellectual level and, in part, creativity. On the other hand, it lowers the level of verbal thinking. Emotional instability is associated with immersion in virtual games and cognitive barriers. Attitude of adults to new technologies is an important aspect. Conclusion. Empirical materials have shown that the inclusion of the Internet or virtual space in various activities changes the picture of behavior, while the more children get used to the distribution of time in different spaces, the more pronounced the tendency to use new spaces as tools is.
DIGITAL COMPETENCIES OF TEACHERS IN FURTHER EDUCATION IN THE ERA OF DIGITALIZATION OF EDUCATION

The article considers the concept of “digital competencies”, “teacher of additional education”, “digitalization of education”. A special emphasis is placed on the processes taking place at different levels of transformation of teachers regarding their mastery of digital tools and the use of digital technologies both offl ine and online. Nevertheless, the communication of teachers with their pupils takes a big part of the process. The defi - nition of “Digital Competence” appeared in offi cial documents in  as a key competence for lifelong learning. Calvani et al. () emphasized the interaction between three aspects of digital competence: technological, ethical, and cognitive. The purpose of this study was to develop a model for the formation of digital competencies of an additional education teacher. For the study we use the online survey. The result of this study was the development of an effective model for the development of digital competencies. The model includes () communication and cooperation in the digital environment; () self-development under uncertainty; () creative thinking; () information and data management; () critical thinking in the digital environment; () data security and protection; () digital content creation. Hybrid learning is a comprehensive combination of distance and online learning. Hybrid and mixed learning models have become important for the learning process, as they allow not only to continue learning in times of crisis or instability, but also to bring education to a new stage of development. All these areas will contribute to the development of digital competencies in teachers of vocational education.
ANALYSIS OF THE EMPATHIC ABILITIES OF STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Relevance. In modern society, digitalization affects all areas of society, including education and becomes the basis for the development of society itself and social relations. The purpose of the study is to study the features of students’ empathic abilities in the context of digitalization of the educational process. Material and research methods. The study involved st year students of the Medical Institute of the “Mordovian state University named after N. Р. Ogarev” direction “General Medicine”. A total of  people were examined. The average age is  years. Diagnostics of empathy was carried out with the method of diagnosing the level of empathic abilities by V. V. Boyko. Results. A very high level of empathy was found only in % of the surveyed, % of students have an average level of empathy, most of the surveyed (%) have an underestimated level of empathy, a very low level of empathy was found in % of the surveyed. % of the respondents have attitudes that promote or hinder empathy, the rational channel of empathy prevails in % of the respondents, identifi cation in empathy is found in % of the respondents, the intuitive channel of empathy characterizes % of the respondents, the penetrating channel of empathy is manifested by % of the respondents, the ability to empathize is found in % of respondents, the emotional channel of empathy is observed in % of respondents. Conclusion. It should be noted that technologies have both positive and negative effects on the development of empathy. While they can bring people together, strengthen a sense of community, and help share experiences, they can also lead to a reduction in face-to-face interaction, a lack of attention to non-verbal cues and emotional displays. To develop empathy, it is important to fi nd a balance between technology and real communication and prioritize face-toface communication and connection with other people.
PROJECT ACTIVITY AS A MEANS OF FORMING IDEAS OF SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Modern society needs a constructive person who is able to learn about the world around through activity, to realize potential, to show initiative and creative approaches to solving pressing problems. Formation of ideas about sustainable development in children at the stage of preschool education will not only lay the foundations for respect for the environment, but also form the ability to live in a sustainable world in harmony with society, nature and oneself. Sustainable development is understood as a process that includes three components: social, economic and environmental. The purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis that digital technologies, namely the development of projects in the algorithmic language Scratch, will allow children to form ideas about sustainable environmental development. The research methods were a conversation with preschool children on the subject of sustainable environmental development, the study of theoretical and practical material in the authors’ studies on the problem of sustainable development, as well as an experiment applying the methods by O.A. Solomennikova “The World of Animals and Birds” and “The Plant World”; by A. I. Ivanova “Describe the picture”. After the formative stage of experimental work, taking into account the use of digital programming technology in the Scratch program, diagnostics were carried out that showed signifi cant increase in the level of children’s ideas about sustainable environmental development. Thus, a high level was detected in % of older preschoolers (%), an average level was detected in % of older preschoolers (%), a low level was detected in % of older preschoolers of the group (%). Thus, we can conclude that the use of the Scratch digital tool can achieve the desired effect in terms of shaping the sustainable environmental development of preschool children.
Learning Channel Capacity with Neural Mutual Information Estimator Based on Message Importance Measure

Channel capacity estimation plays a crucial role in beyond 5G intelligent communications. Despite its significance, this task is challenging for a majority of channels, especially for the complex channels not modeled as the well-known typical ones. Recently, neural networks have been used in mutual information estimation and optimization. They are particularly considered as efficient tools for learning channel capacity. In this paper, we propose a cooperative framework to simultaneously estimate channel capacity and design the optimal codebook. First, we will leverage MIM-based GAN, a novel form of generative adversarial network (GAN) using message importance measure (MIM) as the information distance, into mutual information estimation, and develop a novel method, named MIM-based mutual information estimator (MMIE). Then, we design a generalized cooperative framework for channel capacity learning, in which a generator is regarded as an encoder producing the channel input, while a discriminator is the mutual information estimator that assesses the performance of the generator. Through the adversarial training, the generator automatically learns the optimal codebook and the discriminator estimates the channel capacity. Numerical experiments will demonstrate that compared with several conventional estimators, the MMIE achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of accuracy and stability.
Adaptive Federated Pruning in Hierarchical Wireless Networks

Federated Learning (FL) is a promising privacy-preserving distributed learning framework where a server aggregates models updated by multiple devices without accessing their private datasets. Hierarchical FL (HFL), as a device-edge-cloud aggregation hierarchy, can enjoy both the cloud server’s access to more datasets and the edge servers’ efficient communications with devices. However, the learning latency increases with the HFL network scale due to the increasing number of edge servers and devices with limited local computation capability and communication bandwidth. To address this issue, in this paper, we introduce model pruning for HFL in wireless networks to reduce the neural network scale. We present the convergence analysis of an upper on the l2-norm of gradients for HFL with model pruning, analyze the computation and communication latency of the proposed model pruning scheme, and formulate an optimization problem to maximize the convergence rate under a given latency threshold by jointly optimizing the pruning ratio and wireless resource allocation. By decoupling the optimization problem and using Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions, closed-form solutions of pruning ratio and wireless resource allocation are derived. Simulation results show that our proposed HFL with model pruning achieves similar learning accuracy compared with the HFL without model pruning and reduces about 50% communication cost.
Feature Reduction in Classification Tasks using Bio-inspired Optimization Algorithms

In big data, there is a major difficulty that requires data mining to be conducted with elevated data in big technology, which would be gaining a lot of traction nowadays. When it comes to Big Data, feature selection approaches are seen to be a game changer since they can assist minimize the complexity of data, making it simpler to study and translate it into meaningful information. To enhance classification performance, feature selection removes unnecessary and redundant characteristics from the dataset. In this paper, Grey Wolf Approaches based on Quantum leaping neighbor memeplexes termed as QLGWONM is proposed. The result shows that when compared to the some bio-inspired algorithms such as PSO, GWO, ABA, CSA models, the suggested model performed well in terms of accuracy and have accuracy of 100% for Brain Tumor, CNS, Lung dataset and 97.1% for Ionosphere dataset and 99% for NSL-KDD.
From Traditional Librarian to Scholar in the Field of Information and Documentation Sciences

"The present article comprises the results that synthesise the current professional training preferences of the members of the Romanian Library Association (RLA). The directions of professional development have emerged from a survey conducted between September and November 2022, on a national-level representative sample. The professionals in the field were approached on the matter of their motivation to participate in the training programmes and of the extent of the importance they confer to professional training, as well as their expectations after the completion of the aforementioned programmes and the level of their involvement in such endeavours over the past 3 years (financial resources, allotted time). The analysis focused on the training topics chosen by the respondents, the criteria based on which the programmes had been selected, the difficulties that had been encountered etc. In order to outline a comprehensive view on the evolution of the RLA members’ preferences, a comparison was made between the current results and the ones obtained in 2016 by a similar study. The analysis also covers the differences that occurred during the pandemic period, which emphasised the necessity for certain approaches that were different with respect to the means of exercising the profession, which implicitly led to the acquisition of new skills and abilities."
Public relations strategies as predictor of resources utilization in academic libraries in Cross River State, Nigeria

This study investigated public relations strategies as a predictor of resources utilization in academic libraries in Cross river State, Nigeria. The study was motivated by the incessant complain of the students sourcing for materials which were not optimally utilized. Four research questions and four hypotheses were posed and formulated respectively to guide the study. Expo-facto research design was adopted. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The statistical tool used for data analysis was multiple and simple regressions. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. It was found that, there is a significant influence of public relations strategies on the utilization of resources in academic libraries. Publicity, social media and current awareness services of library have significant influence on utilization of library resources. Based on the findings it was recommended among others, that library schools should as matter of urgency include in their curriculum public relation courses in order to strengthen the leadership quality of future librarians, as well as training them on how to use all public relation strategies in publicizing information about the library for optimum utilization of resources in libraries. That adequate technology such as internet facilities and social media platforms should be provided in all offices in academic libraries as well as a viable ICT policy. Academic libraries management should carve out current awareness services for the dissemination of library resources information that will keep its users well informed and up to date in their fields of basic interest as well as in related subjects.
Refugee Students' Writing in a New Language: Implications for Differentiated Writing Instruction

Children of recent refugees and immigrants are the fastest growing student population in the US public education system. Thus, it is imperative to create research-based pedagogies that value linguistic diversity, provide academic and social–emotional support and embrace life experiences that are often vastly different from those of the teachers and typical students. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of an instructional model designed to address specific academic and social–emotional competencies of linguistically and culturally diverse students on the writing of eight and nine-year-old students (n = 10) enrolled in an afterschool programme serving students from refugee families. The model of explicit writing instruction implemented in the study included culturally responsive literature, mindfulness practices, and differentiation in teaching genre-specific text structure and academic vocabulary. Pre- and post-test personal essays were scored for holistic quality of writing and use of academic vocabulary. The findings indicate that explicit and differentiated instruction in both writing organisation and vocabulary use was effective in increasing the holistic quality of students' personal writing and their ability to integrate academic vocabulary appropriately and meaningfully in independent writing. Implications for culturally responsive instruction for refugee students are discussed.
THE BARRIER FACTORS OF ONLINE LEARNING IN LEARNING ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS IN FOURTH SEMESTERS STUDENTS OF ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM

The main purpose of this study was to find out the barrier factors of learning process in fourth semester students in learning English skills through online learning method in English Education Study Program at UIN STS Jambi. A case study was used in the design of this study. The subjects of this study were students of the fourth semester of English Education Study Program. This research data was collected through observation and interview, based on findings and analysis, the process of learning English skills by students of the fourth semester of the English Education Study Program through online learning has several barrier factors. One of these factors is the lack of facilities and infrastructure in the learning process using online learning methods. In addition, the lack of facilities of the students is also the cause of barrier on the learning process using online learning methods. Moreover, the lack of parental cooperation in the learning process is also a factor. This happened due to the differences students’ learning method with their parent. Meanwhile, the implementation of online learning methods cannot be applied as a whole well. This is indicated by the method of online learning is more dominant and obstacles appeared when teaching and learning process in the fourth semester students of English Education Study Program.
