Psychological resilience is a positive psychological adaptation in times of challenges and crises. Many training programmes focus on psychological resilience. The training programme “Manual: Step by step from trainees to trainers and supporters in student peer support network” is developed within the project “Enhancing digital and psychological resilience through peer networking in the online environment in times of crisis”. The sub-programme A focused on psychological resilience, well-being, stress, and social support. The paper presents this sub-programme and discusses the programme structure. The sub-programme A was realized as hybrid and on-site and in four languages (English, Italian, Polish, and Serbian). The main goal is to evaluate the A sub-programme realization. The programme evaluative questionnaire was developed. The comparison of the sub-programme realization in English as a medium of instruction (80 trainees in the international pilot training realized at three universities, the sub-programme evaluated by 32 trainees) and Serbian as a medium of instruction (37 trainees in the national training realized in two groups, the sub-programme evaluated by 31 trainees) is presented. Trainees from both groups evaluated the A sub-programme with high grades; however, trainees trained in Serbian evaluated the A sub-programme higher (trainees in English: M=4.40; trainees in Serbian: M=4.82). Trainees rated the A sub-programme’s particular aspects as highly useful to develop skills for peer support and recommended it to other students/ participants.

Published: October 2024

Quality of Work Life (QWL) is an organizational effort to control employee behavior and maintain work performance so that it improves continuously. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of organizational culture, servant leadership, and personality on turnover as mediated by work-life quality. This study used a quantitative approach with a sample size of 134 respondents. Employees of PT Nipindo Primatama Group in North Jakarta City completed questionnaires, which provided the research data. The SmartPLS program was used to analyze the research data using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM PLS) analysis technique. The findings revealed that organizational culture, servant leadership, and personality all had a significant and positive impact on employees' quality of work life, with the better the organizational culture, servant leadership, and employee personality, the higher the employees' quality of work life. The findings revealed that servant leadership, personality, and work-life quality all had a negative impact on turnover, whereas organizational culture had no direct impact on turnover. Employee turnover can be reduced by servant leadership, personality, and a high quality of work life, whereas a good organizational culture cannot always reduce employee turnover.

Published: October 2024

The comprehensive analysis presented in this article examines the potential positive effects of complete ECVET implementation in Bulgaria, aligning with the European guidelines established by CEDEFOP. By focusing on a diverse range of topics, the report offers valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to enhance the quality and relevance of VET in Bulgaria. Despite the potential benefits of ECVET, its implementation in Bulgarian vocational education has not yet been realized and lacks a comprehensive credit system for credit exchange within both secondary and higher vocational education. Consequently, the development of an effective ECVET implementation system, including a robust assessment framework, remains an ongoing challenge. ECVET is poised to support learners in Bulgaria across several key dimensions. Its ability to foster adaptability, practical skill acquisition, and alternative learning strategies equip learners with the competencies necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic job market. Moreover, ECVET promotes the development of organizational skills, facilitates informed career choices, and accelerates professional implementation. The successful implementation of ECVET necessitates a concerted effort from various stakeholders, including VET institutions, employers, and learners. By embracing ECVET, Bulgaria can significantly improve the quality and relevance of its VET systems, better prepare learners for the workforce, and stimulate economic growth. Ultimately, ECVET contributes to learners’ personal satisfaction, self-esteem, and shorter paths to the labor market. These benefits underscore the transformative potential of ECVET in enhancing the educational experience and career prospects of learners in Bulgaria.
The Impacts of Computer-Assisted Translation Tools on Learning Autonomy of Students in English Translation Courses
Authors:   Faculty of Foreign Languages, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam., Anh Khoa Truong
Published: October 2024

Computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools have played an important role in professional translation work. Nevertheless, integrating CAT tools in translation training effectively has remained a conundrum in educational institutions. This research investigates the impact of CAT tools on the learning autonomy of English-majored students in translation courses. Several CAT tools were employed in the training process of 64 students majoring in English translation for 10 weeks. The Learner Autonomy Perception Questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data for pre-test and post-test. Qualitative data was also collected from 15 individual interviews. Findings reveal that the integration of CAT tools has positive impacts on components of learner autonomy, including belief about teachers’ role, metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive skills, and freedom, but it has no significant influence on motivation. Furthermore, although CAT tools facilitate opportunities to foster self-confidence, independence of learning and critical thinking skills, they may cause an over-reliance on technology and a lack of creativity and sense of ownership. Accordingly, several teaching implications are drawn in this study.
Local Solutions for Local Problems
Authors: Yates Russell
Published: October 2024

Teacher shortage in rural localities is a long-standing issue in New Zealand. This paper reports on an attempt to reduce the impact of shortages by redesigning the way preservice teacher education was delivered. Called the Mixed Media Programme (MMP), this is a primary (elementary) teacher education programme that was established in 1997 in New Zealand by the University of Waikato. It was initially introduced to rural areas of the North Island of New Zealand. It continues now as a viable and accessible flexible option for teacher education and is a significant means of ensuring better teacher supply in numerous rural areas. The programme uses a combination of face-to-face teaching; school based learning activities and electronic  communication. There is an annual intake of about 60 student teachers, most of who study at home in their local area. Now in its tenth year, the programme has produced more than 400 graduates, many of whom are still teaching in schools throughout New Zealand. This paper reports on a small-scale study, which sought to examine the way that student teachers, teachers and school principals from two communities perceive the programme and its effects on these communities. School principals, teachers, graduates and current student teachers were asked about the way that the programme has enabled people from local  ommunities to firstly study to become teachers in these communities and then to teach in them. Their views show that student teachers have found this approach to teacher education very beneficial to local communities for a number of reasons, including stable staffing for schools, commitment to teacher education programmes, confidence about the quality of the  raduates they employed. The student teachers reported that they were able to become teachers without having to leave their local communities, were exposed to university education as mature student teachers and that their study has had a range of effects on them and their families. It can be concluded from the evidence that the Mixed Media Programme has had important positive effects upon the two small communities of the study, at individual, school and wider community level.
Using Web2.0 Applications to Close the Digital Divide in Western Australia
Authors: Trindad Sue , Broadley Tania
Published: October 2024

The research reported in this paper documents the use of Web2.0 applications with six Western Australian schools that are considered to be regional and/or remote. With a population of two million people within an area of 2,525,500 square kilometres Western Australia has a number of towns that are classified as regional and remote. Each of the three education systems have set up telecommunications networks to improve learning opportunities for students and administrative services for staff through a virtual private network (VPN) with access from anywhere, anytime and ultimately reduce the feeling of professional and social dislocation experienced by many teachers and students in the isolated communities. By using Web2.0 applications including video conferencing there are enormous opportunities to close the digital divide within the broad directives of the Networking the Nation plan. The  Networking the Nation plan aims to connect all Australians regardless of where they are hence closing the digital divide between city and regional living. Email and Internet facilities have greatly improved in rural, regional and remote areas supporting every day school use of the Internet. This study highlights the possibilities and issues for advanced telecommunications usage of Web2.0 applications discussing the research undertaken with these schools.
Bringing Professional Experience to the Rural University Classroom Through Community Play Sessions
Authors: McFarland Laura , Lord Alison
Published: October 2024

This pilot study examined the experiences of 24 teacher education students and nine caregivers who participated in a weekly community play session on a rural University campus in NSW, Australia. Students completed a questionnaire at the beginning of the 13 week semester and at the end of the semester and were asked about confidence levels in various aspects of infant/toddler teaching skills and about the value and challenges of the play sessions. Parents completed a questionnaire about the benefits of play sessions for themselves and their children. Quantitative results indicated that students rated play session interactions with parents as being least helpful in preparation for practicum and least valuable in general, but indicated they gained most in the area of interactions with parents. Students increased their confidence levels in most areas of teaching skills by the end of the semester, except in parent-interaction. The major challenge cited was the high number of university students compared to children. Qualitative themes that emerged included issues related to environments and student learning and practice. Parents indicated high ratings of benefits for themselves and their children, particularly in the area of supporting social development of children and providing social networking for themselves. Implications for creating practical experiences related to parent interactions and relationship building in teacher education programmes, are discussed.
Internet Usage in Small Business in Regional South Australia
Authors: Evans Nina , Sawyer Janet
Published: October 2024

The Internet offers opportunities for electronic trading in the global marketplace and as such it can provide substantial benefits to a business. Despite this, the rate of adoption of ecommerce by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Australia has been slower than anticipated and these benefits are not being realised (Pease & Rowe, 2003). Research was undertaken by the Centre for Regional Engagement (CRE) within the University of South Australia (UniSA), in collaboration with the Whyalla Economic Development Board (WEDB), to investigate the current Internet and e-commerce usage by small businesses in the Whyalla region. The research focused on the perceived threat of competing with online businesses, the experience of managers and employees in using the Internet, whether the business has a web presence as a means to increase market share and whether they use the Internet to buy, market and sell their products and services. The researchers came to the conclusion that very few of the businesses surveyed used the internet optimally, if at all. Service learning opportunities, therefore, exist for students of the School of Computer and Information Science (CIS) at a metropolitan based university to assist the regional campus and small retail businesses in Whyalla in establishing a web presence and e-commerce capabilities, suited to their business needs.

Use of the latest achievements in the field of microcontroller programming, such as the Arduino platform, allows to qualitatively change the educational process, makes it more intense, increases student motivation, and makes it possible to implement an individual approach, which is important. And this, in turn, improves the efficiency and quality of microcontroller programming. The purpose of this study is to propose an effective methodology for using Arduino Atmega 328 microcontrollers for teaching students and evaluate the effectiveness of teaching programming based on the use of Arduino Atmega 328 micro- controllers based on the Kirkpatrick model. The paper presents a broad review of works that consider the interaction of a person and microcontrollers. In addition, the impact of this approach on the process of learning and teaching is being evaluated. More than 95 students took part in this experiment. First, during the semester, students were taught programming using Arduino Atmega 328 microcontrollers, after which they evaluated this learning. The evaluation was carried out at three levels of the Kirkpatrick model [1], and as a result, the second and third levels showed almost the same results with an error of 3 percent. This study concluded that such teaching methodology is very important in the process of student learning. Interaction and collaboration in the field of microcontroller programming has also been used to introduce non-traditional curricula, including courses in robotics as a tool for addressing the social aspects of ro- botics and artificial intelligence.

Application of the hidden markov model against Fraud
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Baisholan N. , Baisholanova K. S. ,   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes a machine learning method that reduces risk by using a hidden Markov model with a view to prevent fraud in the financial sphere. It is related to the fact that in the annual reports of the World Economic Forum on global risks, special attention was given to measures of cyber vulnerability and cybersecurity, for which cause the need to prevent and predict them became necessary. When anomalies are detected in a transactional environment, using machine learning method, the risks are accurately iden- tified, and the probability of fraudulent acts is assessed using analysis. The probabilities of unexpected deviations occurring for an antifraud system and the properties of the states of the system can be consid- ered as a stochastic model or process in accordance with requirements of Markov chain. Therefore, if a fault or, in this case, fraud is detected, the time between steps is considered constant, and the transition to a new state depends only on the final state. It is supposed that it is possible to simulate the required sequence of data in hmmlearn software, us- ing CMM to predict fraud-related actions using machine learning, and it is also possible to update the predicted statement using a posteriori probability. As a result, it is noticeable that the effectiveness of ap- plication of statistical approaches and rules in identifying and reducing the risk associated with financial fraud depends on the correct analysis of large amounts of data. Moreover, for fraud, it is necessary to take into account such measures as the complexity of access to confidential financial data and the complexity of their implementation when using a hidden Markov model, high requirements for a clear description of transition matrix of initial states.

For an electronic textbook on information and communication technologies (ICT), methodological foundations for the design of electronic courses in the field of ICT based on an ontological model for the implementation of information technologies for automated processing of ontologies are proposed. It is shown that the ontological model is designed to implement information technologies for automated computerized processing of ontologies of subject areas (VSS) using the example of ICT, which allows updating this content as the VSS develops on the basis of relevant content in the field of information and communication technologies corresponding to the current state of this subject area, using electronic courses (EC) and/or electronic textbooks (ETS) simplify the procedures associated with the implementation. On the basis of computer ontologies, a functional and information model of processes is implemented that form a combination of information technologies for automated processing of ontologies of subject areas characteristic of the field of information and communication technologies. Modeling technologies were also analyzed, in particular, technologies such as IDEF, DFD, UML were considered, which can be used in the design of complex systems such as EC and/or EO in the field of information and communication technologies for high school students. The results obtained in the course of the study are primarily aimed at improving the effectiveness of the preparation of electronic courses and/or electronic textbooks in the field of ICT for secondary school students. However, the results presented in the article can be used both to create EC and/or EO, as well as for other subject areas characterized by a high level of formalization of knowledge description and the presence of computer ontologies of these subject-disciplinary areas.

Currently, there is an increase in the number of information threats that lead to unstable operation of data networks. This is due to the mass use, the complication of the hierarchy of area networks, the increase in the heterogeneity of software tools, and the complication of the functionality of network services. In such cases, the development and improvement of methods for determining information security in data transmission networks has a great importance. The article discusses ways to increase the information security of the data network by increasing the reliability of detecting deviations in the operation of the main nodes of the data network and reducing the number of false starts when automating the detection of threats. Experimental verification and evaluation of the effectiveness of the methods were considered, it was shown that the developed methods allow skipping the anomaly of the first type and minimizing errors of the second type. The methods were implemented software in the form of a prototype access detection system (ADS).

Diagnostics of objects that are bodies of complex shape can be based on representing their boundaries of such objects (including subsurface ones) in the form of a set of paraboloids. It is shown that the determination of specific geometric characteristics of such paraboloids is ensured through the artificial synthesis of a distributed lens, the individual elements of which are placed on individual unmanned aerial vehicles. Technically, lens synthesis is achieved by changing the phase of radio frequency radiation, carried out using phase shifters. The method is implemented through scanning the object under study by adjusting the effective optical power and its orientation in space. Model calculations are presented that prove the prospects of using the proposed method. Specific examples of radio-electronic circuits that ensure the implementation of the proposed approach are presented. A feature of the phase shifters used is the preliminary detection of the phase of the signal arriving at each of the elements of the distributed lens, and the subsequent introduction of an additional phase difference due to the weighted summation of harmonic signals that are in antiphase.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of garlic meal supplementation on growth performance and semen characteristics in rabbit bucks. Twenty-four (24) mixed breed rabbit bucks were used for this study.  The bucks were allowed to acclimatize for two weeks before the commencement of the study, during this period, they were fed formulated diet and Calopogonium ad-libitum. Feed and clean drinking water were offered ad libitum to the experimental animals. Four different experimental diets were formulated with varying levels of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50% garlic meal as supplement and were coded as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively, with as control. The 24 bucks were weighed and randomly allotted into the four experimental treatments and replicated thrice with two rabbit bucks per replicate in a complete randomized design (CRD) for a period of 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding period, semen collection was done using a specially designed artificial vagina for rabbits. The data obtained were subjected to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. The result showed that garlic meal had significant effect (P<0.05) on final weight, total and daily feed intake. Garlic significantly influenced (p<0.05) sperm volume, motility, concentration and total cells per ejaculate however, did not affect sperm morphology. In conclusion, garlic meal supplementation at 1.0% (10g/kg) can improve some growth and seminal parameters in male rabbits.

This study presents the design and development of the NumFlex App, an interactive educational tool aimed at improving students’ understanding of number system conversions (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) in secondary schools. The objective was to obtain expert agreement and views on the app’s content, interaction, and interface design. Using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and a 7-point Likert scale, responses were collected from seven experts in various fields of education. The data were analyzed using triangular fuzzy numbers, and the ranking of each variable was determined through the defuzzification process. The study followed a Design and Development Research (DDR) methodology, starting with a Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to identify learning challenges. The findings demonstrated 100% expert consensus, with key elements such as content clarity (defuzzification value 0.95714) and interface design (defuzzification value 0.97143) ranked highest. The results confirm that NumFlex successfully integrates clear, pedagogically sound content with intuitive interactive features, making it an effective learning tool. Future research should focus on expanding the app to additional platforms and exploring its integration into the Malaysian national curriculum through collaboration with the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) to broaden its educational impact.
The Use of Figurative Language in Feminist Songs

Published: October 2024

Songs employ figurative language to convey messages, capturing listeners’ attention with captivating melodies. Listeners generate several interpretations by depending on personal observations to infer intended meanings in different settings. The primary objective of this research is to identify figurative language in Taylor Swift’s feminist songs: ‘The Man,’ ‘long story short,’ and ‘I Did Something Bad.’ The framework applied in this research is based on Perrine’s (1977) theory of figurative language. The data analysis procedure is based on Alan Bryman’s (2012) four phases of analysis. This research demonstrates that feminist principles can be effectively expressed through music, utilising figurative language as a compelling instrument for communicating feminism in musical compositions. Singers can use figurative language to advocate for and reinforce shared feminist beliefs while constructing a bridge of connection and a beautiful symphony. Lyrics enhanced by figurative language, successfully deliver feminist ideals, making them a powerful means for women to empower themselves through listening to feminist music.

Clinical trial research in oncology relies heavily on clinical documentation within the electronic medical record (EMR) to ascertain patient eligibility in clinical trials based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The structured data elements within the EMR serve as the primary information source for defining patient cohorts, with clinical cancer stage and performance status being two pivotal criteria determining trial eligibility. The challenge arises from the inconsistent availability of clinical stage and performance status data within the structured fields of the EMR despite their consistent presence in clinical notes. Additionally, there is a deficiency of standardization of this data that exists in the unstructured field. Hence, due to lack of structured data and standardization of said data, there are limitations in developing artificial intelligence (AI) models. To increase the comprehensiveness of clinical records, a clinical research team at a community oncology practice was consulted to identify requirements and extract essential clinical features from de-identified data. The methods outlined in this paper focused on eliminating false positives to allow future development of Large Language Models (LLM) using the outputted structured fields which resulted in an increase in patient record completeness with high accuracy. The accuracy ranged from 97.5-97.75% for the models that were developed. Out of the 60,000+ patients, the numerical staging, TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) staging, and Karnofsky performance score models added a structured field for 29.62%, 21.01%, and 40.64% patients respectively. Additionally, a semi-supervised NLP algorithm was applied on the performance status algorithm which achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.57. This work demonstrates the use case of natural language processing (NLP) in optimizing the clinical research enrollment process by providing an efficient and accurate method to detect key clinical values in unstructured patient data. Similar methodology with more advanced algorithms such as LLM can be employed to detect additional patient elements such as molecular biomarkers, imaging reports, postoperative surgical outcomes (i.e., clear margins etc.) and patient treatment outcomes using the extracted structured fields.
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease in an elderly patient with treatment-resistant headache: a case report

Published: October 2024

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is an immune-mediated, fibroinflammatory condition that causes multisystemic contrast enhancement and is predominantly observed in elderly male patients. The most prominent features of IgG4-related disease are systemic involvement affecting from two to six systems. In the central nervous system, these contrast enhancements are typically found in the meninges and orbit. This case study describes a 78-year-old female patient with persistent headaches and constant diarrhea who underwent treatment for IgG4-related disease. Despite two months of treatment with non-steroidal and opioid analgesics, the patient remained unresponsive and continued to experience diarrhea for 4 months. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed contrast enhancement in the leptomeningeal surfaces, and a biopsy of the gastrointestinal mucosa confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease, showing widespread plasma cell infiltration and IgG4 expression on plasma cells. The patient was initially treated with 1.0 g/day of pulse therapy for 5 days, followed by a maintenance dose of 1.0 mg/kg oral azathioprine. When azathioprine caused significant pancytopenia, rituximab therapy was initiated. The patient’s headaches resolved completely, and the diarrheal attacks were controlled. This case highlights the importance of considering IgG4-related disease as a potential cause of headache or multiorgan symptoms in elderly patients with new-onset headache unresponsive to conventional analgesics. IgG4-related disease can often be effectively treated with steroids and monoclonal antibodies.
