The Support Vector Regression Method Performance Analysis in Predicting National Staple Commodity Prices

Support Vector Regression (SVR) is a supervised learning algorithm to predict continuous variable values. The basic goal of the SVR algorithm is to find the most suitable decision line. SVR has been successfully applied to several issues in time series prediction. In this research, SVR is used to predict the price of staple commodity, which are constantly changing in price at any time due to several factors making it difficult for the public to get groceries that are easy to reach. National staple commodity data consisting of 17 commodities, including shallots, honan garlic, kating garlic, medium rice, premium rice, red cayenne peppers, curly red chilies, red chili peppers, meat of broiler chicken, beef hamstrings, granulated sugar, imported soybeans, bulk cooking oil, premium packaged cooking oil, simple packaged cooking oil, broiler chicken eggs, and wheat flour. With a data set for the last 3 years, including from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. There are 3 variables in the data set, namely commodity, date, and price. This research divides the entire dataset into 80% training and 20% testing data. The results of this research show that SVR using the RBF kernel produces good forecasting accuracy for all datasets with an average Mean Square Error (MSE) training data of 6,005 while data testing is 6,062, Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of training data is 6,730 while data testing is 6.6831, Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) training data is 0.0148 while data testing is 0.0147, and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) training data is 7.772 while data testing is 7.746.
The influence of cultural conflicts on the educational process in technical higher education institutions

The article reveals the problem of cultural conflicts among student youth and their impact on the educational process. The concept of «cultural conflict» is analyzed from the point of view of domestic and foreign scholars, methods for determining the levels of cultural conflict among students are proposed.The aim of the article is to analyze and determine the causes and manifestations of cultural conflicts among young people using psychological and pedagogical methods and tests.The psychology of adolescence is reflected, the characteristic feature of which is the strengthening of conscious motives for behavior. This is a period of great activity in the physical, psychological and mental development of a young person, when building their own views on life, and this period is quite difficult, which has an impact on the perception of other cultures. Attention is drawn to the importance of the humanities in technical institutions of higher education and their importance in the formation of tolerance towards other ethnic groups. The example of the discipline «Psychology of personality» shows the forms of work with students that affect their understanding of cultural conflict. The importance of testing and training in the formation of a tolerant attitude towards other cultures is described. The results of methods for determining the index of tolerance (determination of high, medium and low level of tolerance) and types of ethnic identification (ethnonigilism, ethnic identity, positive identity, ethnoegoism, ethnoisolationism, ethnofascism) are presented. Based on the results of the presented methods and their results, a description is provided with elements of training, which aims to help students overcome their own prejudices against other ethnic groups and social groups, the formation of intercultural communication and perception of other nationalities, their cultural characteristics.108Prospects for the study are the further introduction of various methods and training to identify cultural conflicts among student youth in the educational process, where students are active participants and their introduction will help to understand the problem and prevent cultural conflict.
Fraud Detection using IBMs Differential Privacy Library

Abstract: In the year 2022, a total of 602 billion rupees were lost on bank frauds consisting of over 9103 major fraudulent cases. Due to the increasing number of frauds all around the world, it is vital to safeguard consumers' privacy. There is a prediction of a spike in cyber credit fraud in the future years. There are currently various techniques for credit card fraud detection but all the ML models have lower accuracies and cannot cope with the real-time datasets as the transaction data is extremely confidential. To address this issue we have used differential privacy for fraud detection. Differential privacy helps researchers to gain sensitive information about individuals without compromising their privacy. IBM provides a library: Diffprivlib, for exploring, researching and developing applications in Differential Privacy. In this paper, we have experimented with the impact of differential privacy on a sample dataset using various machine-learning models. With a comparative study of the algorithms, we propose that Isolation Forest has the highest accuracy. It can be added to the diffprivlib library since the library is open source and Isolation Forest does not exist in the library till date. Furthermore, we have built a system to predict fraudulent transactions.

A Fine-Grained Semantic Alignment Method Specific to Aggregate Multi-Scale Information for Cross-Modal Remote Sensing Image Retrieval

Due to the swift growth in the scale of remote sensing imagery, scholars have progressively directed their attention towards achieving efficient and adaptable cross-modal retrieval for remote sensing images. They have also steadily tackled the distinctive challenge posed by the multi-scale attributes of these images. However, existing studies primarily concentrate on the characterization of these features, neglecting the comprehensive investigation of the complex relationship between multi-scale targets and the semantic alignment of these targets with text. To address this issue, this study introduces a fine-grained semantic alignment method that adequately aggregates multi-scale information (referred to as FAAMI). The proposed approach comprises multiple stages. Initially, we employ a computing-friendly cross-layer feature connection method to construct a multi-scale feature representation of an image. Subsequently, we devise an efficient feature consistency enhancement module to rectify the incongruous semantic discrimination observed in cross-layer features. Finally, a shallow cross-attention network is employed to capture the fine-grained semantic relationship between multiple-scale image regions and the corresponding words in the text. Extensive experiments were conducted using two datasets: RSICD and RSITMD. The results demonstrate that the performance of FAAMI surpasses that of recently proposed advanced models in the same domain, with significant improvements observed in R@K and other evaluation metrics. Specifically, the mR values achieved by FAAMI are 23.18% and 35.99% for the two datasets, respectively.
FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP QUALITIES OF FUTURE PSYCHOLOGISTS WITH DIFFERENT CAREER ORIENTATIONS

The article is devoted to the problem of the development of leadership qualities of future psychologists in the process of their professionalization under the conditions of a high school. The importance of career orientations of young people in the contex of continuous professional self-improvement is revealed. The importance of leadership as a component of the psychologist’s professional readiness to perform professional functions is analyzed. The peculiarities of the development of leadership qualities of student youth in the context of their ideas about the future path of professionalization are considered. The article presents the results of the research on the relationship between the career orientations of future psychologists and the specifics of their tendencies to implement leadership behavior. The main types of career orientations of future psychologists are analyzed. The types of ideas about the future career path of students, which are most closely related to the content of professional activity are determined. The content of career orientations of youth, which are formed mainly under the influence of external or internal factors, is highlighted. It is studied how these psychological formations determine the importance of leadership for the professional self-realization of an individual. Possible complications and obstacles to the development of leadership qualities in the educational process are outlined. Based on this, the features of the didactic and educational influence on the formation of the future professional’s personality are indicated for the purposeful development of leadership qualities for further self-improvement in professional activities.
Social-managerial mechanisms for the implementation of the teacher’s professional standard: Features and prospects

The quality of education directly depends on the level of the teachers’ professional training. There are many measures to improve the quality of education and teachers’ professionalism, and a significant part of them, including programs of the Russian national project “Education”, aim at providing a system for the professional development of the pedagogical community. One of the means in the trajectory of the personal-professional development of teachers is a professional standard. It has been implemented over the past ten years; however, there are still difficulties and limitations in its implementation, the elimination of which implies a systematic approach and special social-managerial mechanisms based on the following methodology: theory of social fields by P. Bourdieu, concept of a personified social-cultural management model by A.V. Tikhonov, and the dispositional theory of personality by V.A. Yadov. To identify the specifics of social-managerial mechanisms for the implementation of the teacher’s professional standard, the authors conducted a survey of pedagogical workers of educational organizations in the Orel Region. The respondents of the expert survey were heads of educational organizations and specialists of municipal structures in charge of the education system. The survey focused on teachers’ awareness of the content of professional development, their attitudes to the state education policy and expectations from the teacher’s development system and the national project “Education”. The survey showed a rather optimistic perception of the education system modernization by teachers, despite the ambiguous assessment of its specific measures. The need in developing personal-professional competencies of teachers by means of the additional professional education is obvious: a complex of such competencies is a condition for the perception of innovative and managerial processes. Social-administrative mechanisms should be based on the increasing subjectivity of teachers, their intentional and active readiness to participate in modernization of the education system. The study of the state policy measures in the field of the teachers’ professional development allowed the authors to identify four groups of mechanisms: motivational, control-evaluation, organizational and adaptive. Each group has specific features, but they are interconnected. The authors argue that we need to understand and take into account the tasks and regulatory, resource and procedural features of the identified mechanisms in order to minimize the risks of social conflicts and maintain social order in the education system.
DETECTION OF OFFENCES RELATED TO FORGERY OF DOCUMENTS AND SECURITIES, COPYING OF SIGNATURES, AND ALTERATION OF DOCUMENTS

This article highlights important aspects of the foreign practice of investigating crimes related to the forgery of documents and securities. Crimes related to the forgery of documents and securities are among the most widespread crimes of our time. With the development of technologies, the possibilities of their use are expanding. Despite the high level of security protecting the authenticity of documents, especially nowadays, there are still ways to forge them thanks to modern technology. The relevance of this offense lies in the fact that falsification of documents is relevant not only because of its public danger but also because of the harm caused to the individual and the state. It is also important to identify altered or created elements of copied signatures and documents, as this type of crime is becoming more and more violent. That is, resourceful criminals introduce and use new types of devices (QR codes and stamps) to achieve their goals. In the article, the opinions of foreign specialists on the considered theme are given. It is noted that it is peculiar for every member of society to address the documents to ensure the legality of their actions. It is quite natural that such a wide use of documents attracts the attention of criminals.
THE PLACE OF TEMPORARY COMPETENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF PERSONALITY

The article discusses topical issues of the competence approach to the study of personality and temporal competence. The main areas of application of the competence approach are analyzed: in the field of education, in special pedagogy and psychology, in management and law enforcement activities. The role of temporal competence in personality development is revealed. Part of the empirical research on ontogenetic and professional reflection as a part of temporal competence is represented. Temporal competence and its varieties directly affect every person at any age and can be considered one of the key competences of the individual. Among the numerous types of competence (life, psychological, subject, curricular, situational, personal and self development competence, etc.), it is time that not only occupies a special status in the structure of the personality, but is also an important component of it, since during life a person must rationally manage the allotted time, predict the future events of your life, build time perspectives of your achievements, reflect on the acquired life experience and implement it in your personal and professional life. Time competence not only helps to predict awareness of time, emotional attitude towards it, organization of time in professional and personal life, but also the formation of such important personality characteristics as high stress resistance, emotional stability, self-realization, which allows it to be considered as an important element in the personality structure. The importance of the formation of temporal competence at various stages of ontogenesis should be based on the characteristics of the personality, temperament, previous life experience, etc. Considering temporal competence as an important element of personality, special attention should be paid to reflective abilities regarding the analysis of the development of life experience in a temporal sweep and regarding the reflection of professional activity.
PROCRASTINATION AS A FACTOR OF EMOTIONAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE FUTURE

The relevance of studying the phenomenon of procrastination and its causes is constantly increasing In connection with the development and acceleration of scientific and technical progress. Modern society is oriented towards achievements. A person is constantly in the conditions of fulfilling obligations, which require compliance with deadlines. Issues of personal effectiveness, achievement of success and well-being are especially important. But staying in these conditions is increasingly reduced to procrastination, a phenomenon that becomes an obstacle to personal and professional effectiveness. The above forms the high interest of the scientific community to the study of the phenomenon of procrastination. The article highlights the phenomenon of procrastination – a great psychological phenomenon that focuses not only on violations of the emotional and volitional sphere of the individual or psychological defenses. The article is also filled with a meaningful analysis of types of procrastination (domestic, that is, daily; neurotic; academic; compulsive) and consideration of their specific features. The determinants of procrastination and its serious consequences, which are traced as a certain psychological state, are considered: stress, a strong decrease in motivation, an obsessive sense of guilt, loss of productivity, and a decrease in self-esteem. It was revealed that the problem lies in the negative consequences of procrastination on a person's professional activity, on a decrease in personal productivity, work capacity, which is manifested in an acute emotional experience of personal failure and dissatisfaction with one's own work, as well as one's own results in the professional environment. Being as a stable model of behavior, procrastination is quite difficult to correct, the work will be effective only if the cause of the problem is determined and a person realizes what internal resources and potential he has.
Information culture of students (on the example of a regional university)

The article presents an overview of scientific works on the topic «information culture», identifies aspects of scientific research of the multifaceted phenomenon of «information culture». A description of the structure of the concept of information culture of students, formed as a result of the inductive method of scientific cognition undertaken by the authors, is proposed. The definition of the concept of information outlook is given, the meaning of the concepts of information literacy and information hygiene is concretized. The article presents an analysis of the practical study of the components of the information culture of students as a buffer social group that is in the stage of its active formation — both personal and professional; analysis of the results of a sociological study among students of the Astrakhan State Technical University. The study uses a quantitative method of collecting social information — a written survey. The respondents were selected using a two-stage nested sampling method. The sample size was 300 full-time students (150 boys, 150 girls) in three areas of professional training: natural science, technology and technical sciences, social sciences. As a result of the conducted research, the authors found insufficient formation of students' information culture in the components of information outlook and information literacy; a correlation was revealed between the variables «technologies and technical sciences» and «knowledge of ways to identify «fakes», students understanding of information hygiene was determined. The practical novelty of this scientific work consists in measuring the formation of the elements of the information culture of students of a regional university identified by the authors on the basis of a representative sample, taking into account the profile and specialty of vocational training in a particular university. The theoretical significance of the research is due to the introduction of the concept of «information outlook» into scientific use, the justification of the study of the essential elements of the information culture of students, the analysis of scientific papers on the topic, which allowed to expand scientific ideas about the object and subject of research.
An Investigation into Secondary School- age Learners’ Out -of-class (Community and Home-based Settings) STEM Learning Experience with Digital Technology

Digital learning resources are commonly employed to support learning in out-of-class contexts, either as a complement to the learning in formal classrooms or as an alternative that can be used by learners to pursue personal learning goals. This study identified a significant gap in the literature concerning children's use of digital technology to support STEM (science and mathematics in particular) learning outside of the classroom. To develop a framework for further research in this area, this study adopted a multiple case study design using semi-structured interviews and observations as data collection methods. Following a sociocultural framework, this research primarily confirmed existing work regarding the identification of motivational factors and concluded that the user interface (UI), all-in-one features of digital technology, simulation and alternative learning experience were factors that influenced the learning motivation of secondary schoolage learners when learning science and mathematics with digital technology in out-of-class contexts.
Trigonometric Functions and the Sensations of Tone

Music provides an excellent setting for students to explore trigonometric functions in a setting which is independent of their utility in resolving triangles. In this paper, we present several investigations using trigonometric functions to model musical phenomena. From a mathematical technology point of view, most examples require only function graphing and can be explored using a modern interactive graphing application. One example, however, is an excellent application of trigonometric simplification, for which a Computer Algebra System is a useful tool. A final application is suitable for calculus students and provides an exercise in integration by parts. This can be done by hand, or with the aid of an algebra system.
