Authors: Bandolos Irish P. , Romero Bill Fares C. , Madrazo Justine C. , Antipaso Michael J.
Published: September 2024

A career that is particularly exposed to stressful situations is firefighting. In 2019, more fire occurrences were reported, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). The objectives of this study are to determine and understand the level of occupational stress among firefighter personnel and how it affects the quality of service of firefighters personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The respondents of this study were personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Davao City who had been in service for at least three years. The researcher identifies the personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Davao City as the primary respondents of this study as they can provide authenticity, reliability, and accurate data that could answer the study’s objective. Simple random sampling procedures were employed to choose respondents from each fire station in Davao City. An adapted survey questionnaire was used in the study to gather data. By using descriptive and inferential statistics, the collected data is statistically analysed. Mean was used to determine the level of stress and quality of services of BFP. Pearson r was employed to describe a significant relationship that existed between stress and the quality of services of firefighters. Interpretations would be based on a 0.05 level of significance. Further, the P-value generated from the correlated data was used specifically to determine the level of significance. The result of the study found that there is a significant relationship between occupational stress and the quality of service of BFP during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the hypothesis is rejected. The researchers recommend comparing the level of occupational stress before the pandemic and during the pandemic.

The article deals with the current status of the introduction of computer technologies into the language learning process. Along with the theoretical identification of the emergence of a new direction in applied linguistics, computational linguistics, the need to create artificial intelligence systems, artificial language models, is put forward. While natural languages, which have emerged as a historical system, serve the communication of humans, artificial language also wants to prove that it was created for the relationship between human-machine, machine-machine, machine-human. Based on the methodological experiments, it is proved that without linguistics it is impossible to improve an artificial language as well as to create a system of human-computer communication in natural language in order to increase the efficiency of a human machine complex.

One of the problems that we noticed when conductingmathematics lessons in general education schools is the low level of knowledge of students in mathematics lessons. Why? How? Who is to blame? Or was it her fault? Or is the content of mathematics subjects higher than the cognitive abilities of students? One, two ..... ten, maybe a hundred questions... We will try to find answers to all, if not all, of these questions below, perhaps the most basic. And we offer our own version on these issues. How can we prevent these situations that students are sorry for? Or how to eliminate these situations in the minds of students? In our opinion, there are two conditions here: the formation of critical thinking in students and the formation of functional literacy in mathematics in them. The article is intended for scientists, methodologists in the field of methods of teaching mathematics, as well as for today and future teachers of mathematics.

Authors:   Independent Researcher, USA, Kareem Shaik Abdul
Published: September 2024

Detecting rare events is a significant challenge in various fields, including finance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and environmental monitoring. Traditional generative models, while powerful, often struggle with the scarcity of data associated with rare events, leading to suboptimal detection performance. This research introduces a novel approach: Self-Supervised Learning Enhanced Generative Models (SSLE-GMs), designed to improve the detection of rare events by leveraging self-supervised learning (SSL) techniques. The paper details the development and integration of self-supervised tasks into generative models, evaluates their performance in detecting rare events across different domains, and discusses the implications for real-world applications. Empirical results demonstrate that SSLE-GMs significantly enhance rare event detection accuracy, providing a robust tool for industries where the timely and accurate identification of such events is critical.

Vaginal melanoma is extremely rare, accounting for less than 1% of genital melanomas. Its diagnosis is often delayed due to the rarity of specific symptoms. We report the case of a 50-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with metrorrhagia and a vaginal mass, associated with weight loss. Examination revealed a brownish and hemorrhagic lesion in the vagina, confirmed as vaginal melanoma by biopsy. The melanoma was stage II according to FIGO. The patient underwent a tumorectomy and received adjuvant pelvic and inguinal radiotherapy. After five months, she was deemed in complete remission. Vaginal melanoma, although scarce, requires particular vigilance due to its non-specific symptoms. Treatment is primarily surgical with adjuvant radiotherapy. New therapies such as immunotherapy show promising potential but require further research. Early detection and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial to improving the prognosis of vaginal melanoma. Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies.

“Faced with mortality, scientific knowledge can provide only an ounce of certainty: Yes, you will die. But one wants a full pound of certainty, and that is not on offer.” -Paul Kalanithi1 Cancer, to patients is more than just a diagnosis, and their lived experiences in the journey go far beyond the cleverly invented interventions, medications, and investigations. One would think that clinical outcome predictions, like weather forecast, should become more and more accurate as the event being predicted draws closer, but this is often not the case. A full pound of certainty, in Paul Kalanithi’s words, could guide patients in prioritising treatment options, putting affairs in order, going on a cruise this summer, or delaying it till next year [1]. It could guide patient relatives in deciding whether to go home tonight or remain by the bedside to see mum take her last breath. In this article, we discuss prognosis disclosure in general terms, its ethical aspects, challenges, and possible solutions.

GENDER-ORIENTED TRANSLATION OF FICTION (ON THE BASIS OF VIRGINIA WOOLF’S ESSAY “A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN”)
Authors: DENISOVA I.V. , TELESHEVA I.V.
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the ways of translating a gender aspect on the basis of Virginia Woolf’s essay «A room of one’s own». When it comes to Woolf’s woman characters, first of all, images of feminist women come to our mind. Women in her books were encouraged to examine their own psyches in depth, to re-examine the female position as women for the male world. Virginia Woolf proposed the removal of everything that mattered to men: competition and dominance. Analysis of this work shows that a woman for the writer is a symbol, not just a living creature. The image of a man in her books is described briefly, due to what as it is often said only about a woman, her worries and tragedies caused by men. A number of transformations are needed to translate the description of habits and behaviour of men and women. As noted above, in the essay «A room of one’s own» gender features are reflected in the writer’s opinion, her arguments, examples from other sources.
ON THE ISSUE OF STUDYING COGNITIVE PROCESSES IN TRANSLATION STUDIES
Authors: DEKHAMNIYA V.V.
Published: September 2024

Today, the study of cognitive translation processes seems to be a difficult task. To understand these processes, various models in cognitive science are used. Without the use of any technology, it is very difficult to observe the cognitive processes occurring in the human brain. When trying to study the translation process, new difficulties arise. In order to observe the work of translators, researchers create artificial conditions, which allow them to draw conclusions about the translation process itself in a given situation, but not in a natural environment. The article discusses the methodology for studying the translation process from the point of view of cognitive translation studies. The author analyzes the use of the “think aloud” method in various studies and draws conclusions about its advantages and disadvantages, and also examines the study of the translation process using information technology

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of reward politics on strategy implementation at the Kenya Power and Lighting Company in Nairobi County, Kenya.
Methodology: This study was guided by the upper echelon’s theory, strategic contingency theory, Elite Theory and Mintzberg’s political theory. Descriptive survey research design was adopted in the study. The target population included 9,655 employees working at the Kenya Power and Lighting Company Headquarters. Stratified random sampling method was used to select a sample size of 373 employees that were arrived at using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table of sample size determination. Questionnaires were the main instrument of data collection. A pilot study was conducted in order to check the validity and reliability of the instrument. Primary data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics and with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25. The descriptive statistics comprised of percentages, means, and standard deviation and were presented using frequency tables, pie charts, and bar graphs. Inferential statistics comprised of both correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. These statistics helped to establish the relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the study.
Findings: The findings of the study showed that reward politics and strategy implementation had a positive and significant coefficient (b=0.017, p Value<0.05). The study concluded that all the components of organization politics (reward politics, factionalism, gatekeeping politics, and territorialism) had a statistically significant influence on strategy implementation at the Kenya Power and Lighting Company.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was anchored on upper echelons theory. The study recommended that the Board of Directors should oversee the implementation of policies that discourage territorialism within the company. Clear guidelines for resource allocation and accountability measures should be established to ensure that resources are distributed based on strategic needs rather than individual territorial interests.

Descrição do caso: paciente de 74 anos, que apresentou sintomas inespecíficos como astenia, dor abdominal difusa, fadiga, perda de peso e sintomas respiratórios ao longo de um mês. Estudos de imagem, incluindo mamografia, ultrassom de mama e tomografia computadorizada de tórax, revelaram um nódulo denso na mama direita, imagens nodulares e heterogêneas bilaterais, espessamento da parede brônquica, múltiplos pequenos nódulos calcificados bilateralmente e linfonodos aumentados no mediastino e no hilo pulmonar. Análise histopatológica dos nódulos mamários, por meio de biópsia e imuno-histoquímica, confirmaram um processo inflamatório granulomatoso crônico não necrotizante, sugerindo sarcoidose como hipótese diagnóstica primária. O tratamento foi iniciado com prednisona na dose de 0,5 mg/kg/dia, resultando em melhora clínica e radiológica significativa. Discussão: O envolvimento mamário na sarcoidose pode ser o local inicial da doença, manifestando-se como uma massa palpável ou sendo descoberto incidentalmente. É crucial distinguir sarcoidose mamária de malignidade ou outras condições inflamatórias. Portanto, é importante considerar a sarcoidose como diagnóstico diferencial em pacientes com nódulos mamários, mesmo que raramente observada, visando à detecção precoce e melhor prognóstico.

Purpose: Promotion of e-learning has become a matter of priority for most stakeholders in the education sector. This study examined the influence of principals’ promotion of e-learning teacher training on the performance of teachers in public secondary schools in Migori County.
Methodology: The technology acceptance model was adopted for the study. A concurrent parallel mixed method design was used for the study. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. The target population was 122 public secondary schools, 122 principals, 300 teachers, and one sub-county Director of Education, Migori County. Systematic random sampling was used to select 12 out of 122 public secondary schools. Purposive sampling was used to include 12 principals of the selected schools and one sub-county Director of education. Stratified and simple random sampling was adopted to select 171 out of 300 teachers. Data collection tools included questionnaires and an in-depth interview guide. The study analyzed quantitative data using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 25. The researcher used Cronbach’s alpha to test the reliability of the tools. A score of 0.843 was attained which indicated that the tools were reliable. The study used descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages to summarize quantitative data and presented it in the form of tables. The study analyzed qualitative data by categorizing it and interpreting it in narrative form and through direct quotes.
Findings: The findings of the study revealed that e-learning promotional strategies employed by school principals including e-learning teacher training are not effectively implemented to enhance teachers’ performance in public secondary schools. Although e-learning programs can contribute to improved teacher performance, it was found that teachers feel unsupported in developing their digital skills.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and policy: the study recommends that to enhance teachers' performance in using digital devices, principals should prioritize the establishment of targeted professional development programs that focus on digital literacy and instructional technology. They should organize regular training workshops and hands-on sessions to help teachers build their skills and confidence with digital tools. The study further recommended that the government, through the ministry of education, should implement a comprehensive policy that mandates regular, structured professional development programs focused on digital literacy. This would help to improve teachers' performance in using digital devices in teaching.

Este estudo objetiva analisar como a guerra e seus efeitos são representados na música sertaneja de raiz, buscando indícios que identifiquem posicionamentos ideológicos capazes de traduzir o pensamento do homem do campo sobre a participação dos pracinhas na Segunda Guerra Mundial, na Itália. Nesse viés, este trabalho intenta colocar a nossa pesquisa como contribuição analítica, tornando-se mais transparentes as relações entre história, música e literatura, ao propor uma leitura possível de duas canções sertanejas (Pracinha e Selo de Sangue) que adotam a temática do contexto guerrilheiro, retratando a atuação dos soldados brasileiros nos conflitos armados que ocorreram entre 1939 e 1945.
Haruki Murakami: A Global Literary Journey from Japan to the World
Authors: Yurdakul Selin
Published: September 2024

In a world increasingly shaped by globalization, the migration of literature across borders has become more fluid and pervasive than ever before. This phenomenon extends beyond literature to encompass music, film, and other forms of art, facilitated by advancements in technology that grant simple access to global audiences. Haruki Murakami, one of the most important figures of modern Japanese literature, emerges as one of the prime examples of writers who have transcended national boundaries to earn international acclaim. Understanding Murakami's ascent to prominence requires acknowledging the Westernization of Japanese literature following the Meiji period. This era marked Japan's transition from an isolated feudal society to a modernized nation influenced by Western ideals. The societal shift towards Westernization, driven by aspirations of military and economic strength, altered the reception of Japanese writers in Western literary circles. Murakami's immersion in Western culture, coupled with his experiences living abroad and his deliberate incorporation of Western motifs into his works, distinguishes him from his contemporaries in the Japanese literary scene. While critics may scrutinize his portrayal of Japan and find it lacking authenticity, Murakami's global appeal lies in his ability to capture universal themes of isolation, identity, and existential angst that resonate with readers worldwide. Murakami's journey from a local Japanese author to a global literary icon exemplifies the transformative power of literature in an increasingly interconnected world. By bridging cultural divides and transcending linguistic boundaries, Murakami's works serve as a testament to the enduring impact of storytelling in uniting humanity across the vast tapestry of human experience. In this context, this study aims to discuss Murakami's journey from his origins in the Japanese literary market to his recognition on the global stage.
