Gamification and game-based learning in primary education: A bibliometric analysis
Authors: Magpusao Janisa Retardo
Published: February 2024

Play’s role in children’s learning is crucial, necessitating effective teaching methods that boost engagement. This study maps the Scopus-indexed literature from 2013-2023, focusing on gamification and game-based learning’s impact on learning outcomes and engagement in primary education. Initially, 233 articles were identified from the Scopus, with 36 relevant ones selected after manual review. Findings show a considerable research volume on gamification and game-based learning, but limited focus on primary education, with Spain leading in publications. Co-authorship analysis reveals few connections, indicating limited collaboration among researchers. The study indicates that gamification and game-based learning positively influence learning outcomes by enhancing engagement and participation among students. However, it acknowledges limitations due to using only open-access documents from the Scopus, suggesting future research should explore other databases for more comprehensive insights.

Published: February 2024

In this paper we study electronic driving license (EDL) for secure sharing of vehicles in wireless IoT networks. The process of authentication and data transmission to the server is a very challenging problem to solve. To solve this problem, we propose the use of a wireless IoT network to overcome the transmission speed from the vehicle to the server, and the use of EDL for the driver authentication process. Two devices are installed on the vehicle side and on the server side while the wireless IoT network is used to make data transmission efficient. EDL is used to authenticate drivers who rent vehicles. When the device authentication process on the vehicle will send geographic information obtained through the global positioning system (GPS) to the server. The server will verify the user, if it matches then the server will send a command to the vehicle to be used. To run the considered system, we proposed Algorithm 1 and 2 to run the vehicle device and server, respectively. Experiment result shows the proposed system has maximum accuracy in 95.5%, packet delivery ratio 90%, delay propagation less than 60 seconds. Thus, the security of the shared vehicle will be increases.

Synthesis of European and national traditions in the poetry of Dina Mamchuyeva
Authors: Bittirova Tamara Shamsudinovna
Published: February 2024

The article examines the creative work of the famous Karachay-Balkarian poetess Dina Mamchuyeva, whose innovation has not been sufficiently studied, despite the fact that she has made a great contribution to the development of national poetic structures and has long occupied a place on the literary Olympus of the North Caucasus region. D. Mamchuyeva’s innovation manifested itself both in the subject matter of her poems and in poetics, primarily in introducing a new genre into Karachay-Balkarian poetry, i.e., the sonnet genre in its original form, as well as in giving new features to the classic Karachay-Balkarian versification. The research aims to identify the features of D. Mamchuyeva’s versification, their conditionality by new cultural circumstances – the widespread publication of Russian translations of Shakespeare’s works and works by other poets who adhered to the classical sonnet, which has helped many authors to hone their skills. The scientific novelty of the research is seen in the fact that the article is the first to shed light on the complex of poetic techniques used by D. Mamchuyeva in verse organization, her preference to the sonnet genre and at the same time commitment to the Karachay-Balkarian system of versification, which reflects the specificity of her creative work. The research findings showed the relevance of the topic, revealed the richness and originality of the author’s poetic skill. The chosen research perspective demonstrated its importance for understanding D. Mamchuyeva’s creative searches in the field of versification and its significance for understanding the formal and semantic structures of the author’s poetics, as well as the need for further study of the author’s innovations in national literature, primarily in poetry.

ChatGPT and SEC Rule Future proof your Chats and comply with SEC Rule
Authors: Lakhani Akbar
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the intersection of ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI, and the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) Rule, with a focus on future-proofing chat conversations and ensuring compliance in financial and securities industries. ChatGPT is an advanced AI model that can generate human-like responses in real-time conversations, making it a valuable tool for customer service, support, and information retrieval. However, its use in regulated industries like finance necessitates careful consideration of compliance requirements. The SEC Rule, enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States, sets standards for recordkeeping and retention of communications related to securities transactions and client interactions. The rule aims to promote investor protection, market transparency, and regulatory oversight. This paper examines the challenges and considerations in utilizing ChatGPT within the framework of SEC regulations. It discusses the potential risks associated with unmonitored and unrecorded chat conversations, including the potential for unauthorized advice, dissemination of false or misleading information, or failure to meet compliance obligations.
Size Matters: Impact Energy Absorption Across Five Decades of Length Scale
Authors: Rogers Jacob A. , Xaio Kailu , Mead Paul , Pittman, Jr. Charles U. , Thomas Edwin L. , Wilkerson Justin W. , Lacy, Jr. Thomas E.
Published: February 2024

The Laser-Induced Particle Impact Test (LIPIT) can be used to probe projectile, target, and synergistic projectile-target responses to high strain rate deformation at the microscale. LIPIT’s advantages over other microscale launching techniques include the ability to controllably launch a single microparticle and precisely characterize the projectile momentum and kinetic energy before and after target impact. In addition, a LIPIT apparatus possesses a small laboratory footprint and is suitable for extension to high-throughput testing. Hence, LIPIT experiments have been used to study the dynamic response of many polymers, gels, and metals in different structural forms with various ht/dp ratios. These microscopic high-rate deformation behavior and impact energy absorption studies were used to suggest promising materials for macroscopic applications. Geometric scale, however, can significantly influence dynamic material behavior through scale-induced changes in event time, strain rate, projectile/target material homogeneity, and more. In this study, such geometric-scale effects are intentionally investigated. Noncrystalline alumina spheres ranging five orders of magnitude in diameter (dp = 3 μm–10 mm) were launched into scaled ht/dp amorphous polycarbonate targets of thickness ht at normal incidence using either LIPIT or a gas gun, depending on the scale. Projectile impact velocity and the projectile diameter to target thickness ratio were held constant in all experiments (vi = 550 m/s and ht/dp = 0.25, respectively). Impact energies spanned from hundreds of joules down to nanojoules (eleven decades). The specific impact energy absorption (Ep*), local plastic deformation, and deformation microstructure were compared across all scales. Length scale reduction sets in motion a remarkable 230% amplification in specific energy absorption and a 240% increase in relative impact deformation area. Corresponding numerical impact simulation results emphasize key limitations of current continuum-based material models and indicate potential areas of improvement. These findings demonstrate that material property discoveries made using emerging high-throughput methods (LIPIT, nanoindentation, laser-driven flyers, etc.) may not be directly indicative of macroscopic behavior and performance.
Individual Differences in Aesthetic Experience Point to the Role of Bodily Awareness in Political Orientation

Published: February 2024

Aesthetic chills are a peak emotion characterized by shivers down the spine and goosebumps in response to salient stimuli such as music, speech, or films. In a previous study exposing a large number of Southern California participants (n=2947) to pre-validated audiovisual stimuli, we observed a strong correlation between the intensity of self-reported chills and political orientation, with more conservative participants reporting more intense chills, although not having more chills overall. We performed this current, pre-registered, follow-up study to examine whether this correlation was due to religiosity (which frequently accompanies conservatism, particularly in the USA), and/or being among a cultural minority (conservative within a largely progressive/liberal context), by assaying demographically matched politically diverse populations in California (n=620) and Texas (n=262) with identical stimuli. We also tested for differences in self-reported interoceptive awareness via the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) scale, based on evidence for a link between conservatism and disgust sensitivity. We found that the originally observed positive correlation between the intensity of chills and political conservatism was replicated, did not show an effect of location, and appears to be strongly mediated by religiosity and mood before stimulus exposure. Post-hoc analyses of nonlinear trends in the data suggest that interoceptive awareness and chills covary most with distance from the political center, rather than conservatism per se. This study lends novel nuance to our understanding of the relationship between political orientations, religiosity, interoceptive awareness, and engagement with emotional stimuli.
Parameter Optimization of Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Novel Language Learning in Typically Developing Young Adults
Authors: Thakkar Vishal J , Crupper Jordan , Engelhart Abby S , Centanni Tracy
Published: February 2024

Although the ability to acquire a second language (L2) and attain fluency in that language is beneficial for a growing number of people, it is significantly more difficult to acquire such skills in adulthood. While traditional in-person and computer training programs can aid in this process, learning is often slow and retention is quite poor. A method for driving long-lasting neural plasticity during language learning would be valuable for those who need or want to achieve fluency in a second language later in life. However, little is known about the effect of neuromodulation methods on language learning. In the current study, we investigated the effect of non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on vocabulary word-learning in healthy young adults. Importantly, we approached this research question by investigating two key parameters of taVNS, stimulation frequency (Experiment 1) and current intensity (Experiment 2). Typically developing young adults completed a one-hour training session in which they learned 30 concrete, Palauan nouns while receiving real or sham stimulation to the left posterior tragus (Experiment 1) or stimulation at various intensities (Experiment 2). Participants completed a Palau-to-English translation test immediately after training and seven days later to quantify learning and retention. The results largely revealed that high frequency stimulation above sensory threshold improved retention of learned words. These results suggest that taVNS may improve retention of vocabulary words in a second language and that stimulation frequency may impact efficacy.
Morality in the Anthropocene: The Perversion of Compassion and Punishment in the Online World
Authors: Robertson Claire , Shariff Azim , Van Bavel Jay Joseph
Published: February 2024

Although much of human morality evolved in an environment of small group living, almost six billion people use the internet in the modern era. We argue that the technological transformation has created an entirely new ecosystem that is often mismatched with our evolved adaptations for social living. We discuss how evolved responses to moral transgressions, such as compassion for victims of transgressions and punishment of transgressors, are disrupted by two main features of the online context. First, the scale of the internet exposes us to an unnaturally large quantity of extreme moral content, causing compassion fatigue and increasing public shaming. Second, the physical and psychological distance between moral actors online can lead to ineffective collective action and virtue signaling. We discuss practical implications of these mismatches and suggest directions for future research on morality in the internet era.

Published: February 2024

Case writing is a different art, the art of sharing the real-life situations through written cases. Readers of the case will be able to learn about the issue(s) and people contained in the case without having to be in the organization and interacting with the relevant people. Problem-solving or decision-making case study requires the reader to understand the scenario and respond to the guided questions. In this case study, Yasin Yahya, approached his peers and former students to write case studies independently or jointly. He adopted a few methods to encourage his targets to understand the basic characteristics of problem-solving case studies and start writing. He would be serving as a resource person, coach, and editor for each case. His efforts for a few months do not show positive outcomes. Being a new learning tool, even experience instructors need time to try. Readers are asked to evaluate which among the four methods Yasin used might be able to help his peers produce case studies for teaching purposes.

Published: February 2024

The relevance of the study is emphasised by the need to investigate and develop effective strategies for protecting critical state infrastructure in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interaction between the means of physical and electronic influence in the context of protecting critical infrastructure facilities of the energy sector from air strikes. The object of research is the system of protection of critical facilities of the state’s energy sector. Research methods included the use of system analysis, the development of strategies for determining the optimal locations of the means of physical influence, and the use of mathematical modelling. Research in the field of interaction and simultaneous use of physical and radio-electronic means included a theoretical analysis of abstract objects and their relationships. These objects were designed to create an idealised description and investigate possible scenarios, as well as to determine optimal actions in specific situations. This study examined in detail the possibilities of improving the effectiveness of protecting important energy facilities from air strikes through the use of combined strategies such as anti-aircraft fire and fire protection. Methods for determining the optimal locations of the means of physical influence were analysed, which allowed predicting expected results when using them together. It was developed evidence-based recommendations for the effective integration of these methods, which is an innovative approach to the problem. The means of physical influence included small arms, which were part of the armament of the Armed Forces, and interceptor drones. Electronic means of influence included technical means of radio frequency warfare and electromagnetic guns. The practical significance of this study lies in the fact that it presents specific strategies and technological solutions for comprehensive protection of critical infrastructure facilities from air strikes. This paper can serve as a basis for developing effective security and protection policies in countries and regions, helping to improve overall sustainability and security

Authors: Belytskyi Dmytro , Yermolenko Ruslan , Petrenko Kostiantyn , Gogota Olga
Published: February 2024

The research relevance is determined by the need to improve the processes of measurement of objects size in hard-to-reach conditions. In the modern industrial environment, where high measurement accuracy is critical for ensuring safety and maximizing the efficiency of production processes, the study of this topic is relevant in the context of rapid technological development and increased requirements for production quality. The study aims to evaluate the possibilities of using modern computer vision methods for measuring and reconstructing objects in difficult technical conditions, such as the enclosure of a water-water power reactor. The study employed 3D photogrammetry methods, including Depth from Stereo and Multi-View Stereo, as well as Structure from Motion methods. The study determined that modern computer vision methods, in particular machine learning methods, can be successfully used for measuring and reconstructing objects in hard-to-reach conditions. The study showed that the measurement accuracy can reach values close to 1 mm under ideal conditions and at a distance of 1.5 from the measuring device to the object. At the same time, the Multi-View Stereo method revealed greater uniformity of the spatial distribution of errors compared to the Depth from the Stereo method. In practice, in the conditions of real photos, the Multi-View Stereo method turned out to be more demanding to accurately determine the position of the camera. Due to its low demand for the exact coordinates of the cameras, the Depth from the Stereo method showed better results, showing less error in the measurements. The study highlighted the possibility of using the proposed method to distinguish fluctuations in the height of the surface of the object, which is important for further applications in the field of reactor maintenance and other areas of industry. The practical value of this research lies in the development and validation of methods for measuring and reconstructing objects in conditions where traditional methods become limited or impractical
The gradual removal of Hertz pressure from the surface of elastic half-space
Authors: Kutsenko Anastasiia , Kutsenko Oleksii
Published: February 2024

Contact stress determination in non-stationary dynamic loading of elastic bodies is crucial for modelling structures at high speeds, but it presents mathematical challenges due to the time-dependent and often unknown contact area size and shape. The study aims to obtain an energy remainder estimation that forms waves during the contact interaction of elastic bodies, based on the exact solutions of non-stationary problems for an elastic half-space. For this purpose, the problem of the instantaneous loading half-space as an additional research problem was reconstructed using the Hankel transform concerning a radial coordinate and the Laplace transform concerning a time variable. The method of derivation of the displacements at an elastic half-space loaded (unloaded) gradually by Hertz's contact pressure has been proposed. Its availability made it possible to pass to the solution of the main problem – the problem of gradual loading of the half-space surface by Hertz pressure. The possibility of changing of the order of differentiation and integration operations in the obtained representation is substantiated based on the integrand properties. The cases when the speed of the indenter was constant when its motion was uniformly accelerated and when the motion corresponded to the law of the first quarter of the cosine period in the time were considered. It was concluded that the distribution of dynamic contact stresses is similar to the Hertz distribution. An estimation of the part of the energy spent on the formation of elastic waves was made for various laws of unloading. The practical significance of this study lies in its development of an effective method for calculating normal displacements on a loading area in dynamic contact interactions of elastic bodies, which can be valuable for modelling structures at high speeds

Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVE

Traditionally, resection of nondominant hemisphere brain tumors was performed under general anesthesia. An improved understanding of right-lateralized neural networks has led to a paradigm shift in recent decades, where the right or nondominant hemisphere is no longer perceived as "functionally silent." There is an increasing interest in awake brain mapping for nondominant hemisphere resections. The objective of this study was to perform a comprehensive review of the existing brain mapping paradigms for patients with nondominant hemisphere gliomas undergoing awake craniotomies.

METHODS

In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches of the Medline, Embase, and American Psychological Association PsycInfo databases were undertaken from database inception to July 1, 2023. Studies providing a description of the intraoperative mapping paradigm used to assess cognition during an awake craniotomy for resection of a nondominant hemisphere glioma were included.

RESULTS

The search yielded 1084 potentially eligible articles. Thirty-nine unique studies reporting on 788 patients were included in the systematic review. The most frequently tested cognitive domains in patients with nondominant hemisphere tumors were spatial attention/neglect (17/39 studies, 43.6%), speech-motor/language (17/39 studies, 43.6%), and social cognition (9/39 studies, 23.1%). Within the frontal lobe, the highest number of positive mapping sites was identified for speech-motor/language, spatial attention/neglect, dual tasking assessing motor and language function, working memory, and social cognition. Within the parietal lobe, eloquence was most frequently found upon testing spatial attention/neglect, speech-motor/language, and calculation. Within the temporal lobe, the assessment of spatial attention/neglect yielded the highest number of positive mapping sites.

CONCLUSIONS

Cognitive testing in the nondominant hemisphere is predominantly focused on evaluating two domains: spatial attention/neglect and the motor aspects of speech/language. Multidisciplinary teams involved in awake brain mapping should consider testing an extended range of functions to minimize the risk of postoperative deficits and provide valuable information about anatomo-functional organization of cognitive networks.

Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVE

Contemporary oncological paradigms for adjuvant treatment of low- and intermediate-grade gliomas are often guided by a limited array of parameters, overlooking the dynamic nature of the disease. The authors’ aim was to develop a comprehensive multivariate glioma growth model based on multicentric data, to facilitate more individualized therapeutic strategies.

METHODS

Random slope models with subject-specific random intercepts were fitted to a retrospective cohort of grade II and III gliomas from the database at Kepler University Hospital (n = 191) to predict future mean tumor diameters. Deep learning–based radiomics was used together with a comprehensive clinical dataset and evaluated on an external prospectively collected validation cohort from University Hospital Zurich (n = 9). Prediction quality was assessed via mean squared prediction error.

RESULTS

A mean squared prediction error of 0.58 cm for the external validation cohort was achieved, indicating very good prognostic value. The mean ± SD time to adjuvant therapy was 28.7 ± 43.3 months and 16.1 ± 14.6 months for the training and validation cohort, respectively, with a mean of 6.2 ± 5 and 3.6 ± 0.7, respectively, for number of observations. The observed mean tumor diameter per year was 0.38 cm (95% CI 0.25–0.51) for the training cohort, and 1.02 cm (95% CI 0.78–2.82) for the validation cohort. Glioma of the superior frontal gyrus showed a higher rate of tumor growth than insular glioma. Oligodendroglioma showed less pronounced growth, anaplastic astrocytoma—unlike anaplastic oligodendroglioma—was associated with faster tumor growth. Unlike the impact of extent of resection, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) had negligible influence on tumor growth. Inclusion of radiomics variables significantly enhanced the prediction performance of the random slope model used.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors developed an advanced statistical model to predict tumor volumes both pre- and postoperatively, using comprehensive data prior to the initiation of adjuvant therapy. Using radiomics enhanced the precision of the prediction models. Whereas tumor extent of resection and topology emerged as influential factors in tumor growth, the IDH status did not. This study emphasizes the imperative of advanced computational methods in refining personalized low-grade glioma treatment, advocating a move beyond traditional paradigms.

Rice bran is a natural material that contains nutrients that serves as a fungal growth factor, can be used as an alternative media base for fungal growth. The aim of this research is to determine the potential of rice bran as an alternative medium for the growth of Candida albicans. The research design employed an experiment that compared the growth of Candida albicans on rice bran extract media and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media. The sample is rice bran powder obtained from rice mills and rice bran extract was made using a multi-stage pretreatment method. The rice bran extract was used to create Rice bran Agar (RBA) and Rice bran Liquid (RBC) media, while SDA dan (SDB) media were also prepared. The media were inoculated with Candida albicans, incubated, and observed for 5 days. Data analysis included the measurement of fungal colony diameter using One Way Anova and Candida albicans biomass using an independent t-test. The research findings indicate that the average diameter of fungal colonies on RBA extract media was 10.4 mm, whereas it was 12.3 mm on SDA media. The Anova and Post Hoc Tukey HSD results demonstrated significant daily differences in colony diameter on RBA media, indicating notable Candida albicans growth. Conversely, there was no significant difference in colony diameter on SDA media. The biomass average of Candida albicans on RBC media was 0.82 g, compared to 0.45 g on SDB media. The Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05) indicated a significant contrast in the average dry weight of Candida albicans biomass, with RBC media being heavier than SDB media. The conclusion is RBA and RBC media have the ability to grow Candida albicans which can be used as an alternative to SDA and SDB media.

In laboratory-based learning, the use of formulated materials is crucial. A formulated glucose solution, with its predetermined composition, ready for use in observing Diabetes Mellitus (DM) scenarios in the laboratory, enables students to focus on direct experiences in simulating real-world situations. This enhances learning efficiency and provides greater opportunities for practical experiences. The objective of this research is to develop a formulation of a glucose 10% and aquadest mixture as synthetic urine to detect DM in laboratory skills activities. The experiment involved testing and observing a mixture of glucose 10% and aquadest. The resulting formula was tested using test strips and a heating procedure with Benedict's reagent. Five formulations, each prepared with a volume of 100 ml, yielded observations ranging from positive 1 to positive 4. Formula I, a mixture of 5 ml glucose 10% and 95 ml aquadest, resulted in a positive 4 observation. Formula II, with 4 ml glucose 10% and 96 ml aquadest, yielded a positive 3 observation. Formula III, with 3 ml glucose 10% and 97 ml aquadest, resulted in a positive 2 observation. Formula IV, with 2 ml glucose 10% and 98 ml aquadest, also produced a positive 2 observation. Formula V, a mixture of 1 ml glucose 10% and 99 ml aquadest, resulted in a positive 1 observation. It is recommended to prepare the mixture just before the activity, ensuring the cleanliness of containers to maintain the stability of the materials used. Further studies are needed to refine the formula with additional parameters
