EUDAIMONIA AND LIFELONG LEARNING MOTIVATION
Authors: Gryshchenko Oksana , Murphy Michael , Voloshyna-Narozhna V.
Published: November 2023

Lifelong learning is a self-driven endeavor for knowledge, intricately entwined with personal development. This concept embraces all learning spectra, including informal and non-formal modalities, thereby catalyzing cognitive and emotional development, resilience, and well-being. Motivation responds to adaptive strategies amidst life's hurdles. Self-regulation, which encapsulates strategic goal-setting and intrinsic motivation, is pivotal in steering perpetual growth. Interweaving learning and self-regulation create a pathway towards an enriched existence, epitomizing the quintessence of eudaimonia. Motivation, and cognitive-emotional enrichment, approaches, such as experiential learning, reflective practices, becomes imperative. As individuals traverse through life, societal norms, and self-actualization, this synergy culminates in a resilient and perpetually progressive human experience, where challenges metamorphose into valuable opportunities for learning.

Enhancing Editability in Permissionless Blockchain: A Three-Chain Model for Efficiency and Ledger Consistency
Authors: Lei Lin , Li Jiao
Published: November 2023

Blockchain technology has gained significant attention due to its decentralized, tamper-resistant, and transparent nature. However, the inherent immutability of blockchain poses challenges for certain applications. This article presents a novel three-chain model based on the chameleon hash function to address the need for editability in blockchain systems. The model includes a dedicated pool chain that provides optimal conditions for editing operations, along with composite supervision and audit strategies to ensure compliance, security, and traceability. To maintain ledger consistency, a correction chain stores audited edited blocks, while the main chain is updated accordingly. The model’s feasibility is validated through experimentation, showing a minimal impact on the performance of the editable main chain. Contributions of this research include clear definitions of data ownership, editing permissions, and the completion flag for editing operations on the blockchain. Furthermore, it effectively resolves conflicts between decentralized editing and editing waiting, while ensuring the ledger consistency. The proposed three-chain model offers a secure and efficient solution to enhance blockchain editability, opening up new possibilities for its application in diverse domains.
Wireless optical communication through different media using superoscillation function as amplitude modulation
Authors: Handelman Amir , Zindan Ashraf , Ben-Ezra Yosef
Published: November 2023

As wireless optical communication becomes a key technology in many applications such as internet-of-underwater-things (IoWT) and inter-satellite communication, investigation of different modulation schemes has become essential. In this paper, we address the issue of whether it is possible to wirelessly transmit a modulated light signal at a frequency beyond the signal's band-limit. We show that by using a superoscillation function as the amplitude modulating signal, it is possible to wirelessly transmit the optical signal through various media such as free-space, underwater and even turbulent underwater, and still preserve the superoscillatory nature of the signal with the property that it contains a component that oscillates faster than the signal’s highest Fourier component. We also present cases where the received optical signal is distorted and quantify distortion 
Forecasting Trends in Cloud/Edge Computing: Unleashing the Power of Attention Mechanisms
Authors: Gort Berend , Serrano Maria , Antonopoulos Angelos
Published: November 2023

The research in discussion explores the intersection of cloud/edge computing and time-series forecasting to optimize resource utilization and reduce energy consumption in telecommunications networks. It highlights the evolution of machine learning models used for forecasting, starting from Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to the more advanced Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs) with attention mechanisms, and eventually to transformer architectures. The ultimate goal is to achieve precise predictions to allow smart cities and telecom networks to adapt real-time to varying demands, improving service quality and reducing operational costs.

A significant focus is given to the attention mechanism, especially the sparse attention, which is seen as a potential solution to the challenges faced by transformer models in handling long sequences of data efficiently. Among the sparse attention models, the Informer model is highlighted for its promise in handling cloud/edge domain scenarios. The article also mentions providing a list of cutting-edge use cases and proof-of-concept demonstrations to substantiate the claims regarding the benefits of these advanced forecasting models in the cloud/edge domain.
Therapeutic Role of Synthetic Lethality in ARID1A-Deficient Malignancies
Authors: Hein Kyaw Z. , Stephen Bettzy , Fu Siqing
Published: November 2023

AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A), a mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermenting complex subunit, modulates several cellular processes by regulating chromatin accessibility. It is encoded by ARID1A, an immunosuppressive gene frequently disrupted in a many tumors, affecting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells. Targeting molecular pathways and epigenetic regulation associated with ARID1A loss, such as inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway or modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, may help suppress tumor growth and progression. Developing epigenetic drugs like histone deacetylase or DNA methyltransferase inhibitors could restore normal chromatin structure and function in cells with ARID1A loss. As ARID1A deficiency correlates with enhanced tumor mutability, microsatellite instability, high tumor mutation burden, increased programmed death-ligand 1 expression, and T-lymphocyte infiltration, ARID1A-deficient cells can be a potential therapeutic target for immune checkpoint inhibitors that warrants further exploration. In this review, we discuss the role of ARID1A in carcinogenesis, its crosstalk with other signaling pathways, and strategies to make ARID1A-deficient cells a potential therapeutic target for patients with cancer.

The course provides hands-on training on basic analytical methods (queue analysis methods) to compute work zone performance measures such as capacity, speed, queue length, delay, and users’ costs. The capabilities and limitations of WorkZoneQ-Pro and the Highway Capacity Manual procedure for work zones are discussed, and basic guidance on how to use them is presented. The first and second courses were in-person and lasted 1.5 days. The third course was virtual and lasted only one day with reduced content. The evaluation results indicate that the participants very much liked the trainings and learned a lot. The in-person classes had slightly higher scores than the virtual class. The average scores were 4.4–4.9 (out of 5) for the in-person classes and 4.2–4.9 (out of 5) for the online class.
“Baya Funda Kuthi, Nathi Siyafunda Kubo”: Transformative Community Engagement that Contributes to the Decolonisation Agenda of Higher Education
Authors: Bobo Benita
Published: November 2023

Using a social constructivist approach, within the social action model of community psychology, this research explores how thoughtful community engagement (CE) programmes may promote the decolonial agenda of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and promote transformative learning for students and community partners. This research draws on the co-management model that the Rhodes University Community Engagement (RUCE) division proposes, where partnerships between HEIs and communities are seen to be mutually beneficial. CE at Rhodes University (RU) spreads the breadth of what is termed the CE continuum, ranging from credit bearing service-learning activities to non-credit bearing volunteer activities. This research investigates a volunteer programme at RU, the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Residence Programme, as a case study. At the time of conducting this research, 15 community partners were part of the programme. Drawing on the ECD Residence Programme for case studies, this research used a reflective multiple case study design in attempting to answer the research question.

рассматривается усовершенствованная конструкция делителя мощности Уилкинсона для уменьшения его размеров. Данное устройство рассчитано для работы на двух рабочих диапазонах частот с центральными частотами 2,4 ГГц и 5,8 ГГц, соответственно. Моделирование выполнялось на основе использования программного продукта CST Studio Suite 2023. Делитель мощности разработан и смоделирован на подложке Rogers RT5880, которая имеет диэлектрическую проницаемость , тангенс угла потерь и толщину мм. Разработанное устройство имеет один вход и два выхода. Полученные результаты моделирования показывают, что делитель мощности обеспечивает равное разделение мощности на обоих выходах конструкции. На основании произведенного имитационного моделирования было получено, что устройство имеет коэффициент стоячей волны по напряжению (КСВН) на двух центральных частотах 1,56 и 1,27, соответственно. Графики возвратных потерь показали, что разработанный делитель мощности Уилкинсона имеет два рабочих диапазона частот 1,1-3,2 ГГц и 4,8-6,5 ГГц по уровню -10 дБ. Данные частотные диапазоны указывают на широкополосность устройства. Смоделированные графики потерь мощности свидетельствуют об ослаблении 0,2 дБ на частоте 2,4 ГГц и 0,6 дБ для частоты 5,8 ГГц. Произведенный расчет токов при заданной мощности показал, что спроектированные микрополосковые линии выдержат нагрузку в 1 кВт

The article examines the volume of expenditures of the federal budget of the Russian Federation on national defense, national security and law enforcement, the rate of their change and their share in the total volume of federal budget expenditures for 2019-2023. and forecasts of budget financing of these areas for the planning period 2024-2025. An analysis of subsections of expenditures in the areas of “National Defense” and “National Security and Law Enforcement” over the past five years and for the medium term has also been carried out. It is concluded that the level of funding allocated from the federal budget for the areas under consideration, their dynamics in the last few years reflect the process, complexity and priority of fulfilling the tasks that the Russian Federation sets for itself. The values of the indicators under consideration clearly show problematic periods for our country, when Russia faced serious threats to its national security. This is the time of the fight against coronavirus infection in 2020 and the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine in 2022. However, even during these periods, there were no sharp and fundamental changes in the volume of budget financing of the areas and types of expenses under consideration. There were also no shifts or redistribution of budgetary resources in the structure of expenditures on national defense, national security and law enforcement. This situation demonstrates the stability of the budget policy pursued by our state, its consistency and logic. Today, it is important to understand the need to continue the course of maintaining medium- term budget planning and orienting the budget process to the long term, as well as a clear awareness of the presence of new extremely serious threats and challenges to the economy of our country, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the seriousness of their influence on all spheres of activity of the Russian state , the catastrophic consequences of their spread, as well as readiness to adequately counter these challenges and threats.

The budget system of the Russian Federation, characterized by the presence of a consolidated budget, including federal, regional and local levels, plays an important role in ensuring the socio-economic dynamics of the country. This study is devoted to the study of the structure and dynamics of revenues of the consolidated budget of Russia in the five-year period from 2018 to 2022. In the context of global economic shifts and nuances of domestic policy, the analysis provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of the Russian budget sector. The main conclusion of this study is the strategic turn of Russia towards the diversification of the revenue side of the budget, which has reduced the historical dependence on the export of hydrocarbons. Such diversification has made it possible to increase the stability of the country’s budget system, especially in the face of external economic shocks. The data indicate a constant increase in both direct and indirect taxes, among which a significant place is occupied by value added tax (VAT), income tax and personal income tax. These tax revenues not only indicate active economic activity, but also reflect the effectiveness of the tax policy pursued in Russia. The fiscal measures taken in response to the unprecedented challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate the adaptive potential of the State. By providing tax incentives and tax incentives, Russia has demonstrated its commitment to support the business community and minimize the economic consequences of the pandemic. At the same time, the analysis also revealed potential problems related to income inequality, as evidenced by a sharp increase in personal income tax against the background of a static wage fund. In addition, the study traces the relationship between Russia’s budget policy and geopolitical dynamics, especially in the context of foreign policy implications for the budget system. Summing up, we can say that this study is a comprehensive review of the budget trajectory of Russia for the specified period. It highlights the country’s active efforts to diversify its revenue base, overcome economic difficulties and continue the path to creating a balanced and sustainable budget ecosystem. The conclusions made in this report will be useful for politicians, financial experts and scientists interested in the intricacies of the Russian economic and budgetary paradigm. Keywords

The deterioration of economic conditions in recent years requires the leadership of the Russian Federation to take additional measures to support business entities and the population in order to prevent or reduce emerging disruptions, imbalances, and the deepening of socio-economic problems. Mechanisms to contain economic and financial risks have been launched through all channels of government policy, in particular, by adjusting the tax regulation mechanism and giving it a more pronounced stimulating nature. The article discusses the main tax incentive instruments proposed to be introduced as part of the current tax policy. An assessment of their positive and negative effects, possible consequences and effectiveness in relation to goal setting is given. The study shows that the current tax policy in the Russian Federation, as well as the current tax system, despite the stated goals of stimulating and supporting domestic businesses and citizens, are still largely fiscal in nature, with weak expression of social justice and economic feasibility.

Authors: Jacquemet Nicole , Ruppen Paul
Published: November 2023

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt das Konzept der Bildungssoziologiekurse an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Wallis (PH-VS). Es werden die verfolgten Ziele und der behandelte Stoff sowie die konkrete Umsetzung dieses Konzepts an beiden Standorten der Pädagogischen Hochschule (deutsch- und französischsprachig) behandelt. Die Schwierigkeiten, denen die Ausbildnerinnen und Ausbildner begegnen, werden offengelegt. Zudem werden die Sichtweisen der Auszubildenden berücksichtigt, um zu sehen, wie sie die offiziellen Ziele wahrnehmen und wie sie die Soziologie als Ressource für ihre künftige Unterrichtspraxis einschätzen. Der zweite Teil des Beitrags stellt die Resultate einer Umfrage mittels Fragebogen vor, die bei Personen durchgeführt wurde, welche die Soziologiekurse an der PH-VS bereits besucht haben. Die Resultate zeigen, dass die Studierenden und Diplomierten die Bildungssoziologie insgesamt sehr positiv einschätzen, dass sie aber nur teilweise deren praktische Bedeutung wahrnehmen. Soziologisches Wissen wird kaum als Ressource wahrgenommen, welche in der professionellen Praxis mobilisierbar ist. Diese Resultate stellen das vorliegende Konzept infrage. Sie geben den Ausbildnerinnen und Ausbildnern Hinweise darauf, wie man den künftigen Lehrpersonen die Ziele der Soziologiekurse deutlicher machen und den Aufbau professionellen Wissens begünstigen könnte.
Die Entwicklung von diagnostischen Fähigkeiten bei Studierenden der pädagogischen Hochschulen im Laufe ihrer Ausbildung
Authors: Buholzer Alois , Zulliger Sandra
Published: November 2023

Die Diagnosefähigkeit von Lehrpersonen umfasst neben der Beurteilungsgüte vor allem die Fähigkeit, Diagnosen didaktisch adaptiv zu nutzen und lernfördernde Rückmeldungen daraus abzuleiten. Wie sich diagnostische Fähigkeiten bei angehenden Lehrpersonen und im Berufsalltag entwickeln, ist noch weitgehend unerforscht. Die vorliegende Längsschnittstudie mit PH-Studierenden untersucht die diagnostischen Fähigkeiten bezüglich formaler und inhaltlicher Aspekte im Fach Deutsch und diskutiert sie kritisch. Als Beurteilungsmaterial dienten videografierte Reportagen von Schülerinnen und Schülern sowie deren Vorbereitungsnotizen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Studierenden im Laufe der Ausbildung lernen, den Lernstand von Schülerinnen und Schülern differenzierter zu erfassen, und es ihnen auch immer besser gelingt, adäquate Formen der Weiterarbeit zu entwerfen. Bei anderen inhaltlichen und formalen Aspekten, z.B. der Fähigkeit zur Beurteilung des Wortschatzes oder des Textaufbaus, konnten während des Studiums hingegen keine signifikanten Veränderungen nachgewiesen werden. Die Diskussion der Ergebnisse im Kontext der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerausbildung und früherer Forschungsarbeiten hebt die Wichtigkeit einer empirischen Überprüfung von Ausbildungszielen wie beispielsweise Diagnosekompetenz hervor und fordert weitere, vertiefte Analysen.

Published: November 2023

Unterrichtsvideos sind zu einem vielfach verwendeten Lern- und Reflexionsmedium in der Lehrpersonenaus- und -fortbildung geworden, wobei aktuelle Projekte unterschiedliche Ziele verfolgen und die didaktisch-methodischen Ansätze variantenreich sind. Der Beitrag fokussiert die Förderung der Wahrnehmungs- und Analysekompetenz durch Unterrichtsvideos und präsentiert Forschungsbefunde zu instruktionalen und problembasierten Lehr-Lern-Konzepten sowie zum Einsatz der Videotypen «eigenes Unterrichtsvideo» und «fremdes Unterrichtsvideo». Dabei wird besonders darauf eingegangen, wie emotional-motivationale Prozesse die Analyse von Unterrichtsvideos beeinflussen. Auf der Basis der Befunde werden vier Empfehlungen für die Planung videobasierter Seminare in der Lehrpersonenaus- und -fortbildung formuliert.
Negative Beanspruchungsfolgen bei Schweizer Lehrpersonen
Authors: Kunz Heim Doris , Sandmeier Anita , Krause Andreas
Published: November 2023

Die Diskussionen in der Schweiz um die Höhe und die Auswirkungen der arbeitsbedingten Belastung von Lehrpersonen gründeten bisher auf einer schmalen Datenbasis, weil bis anhin meist nur punktuelle und wenig koordinierte Befunde generiert worden sind. Bei der vorliegenden, vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds unterstützten Studie handelt es sich um eine repräsentative Erhebung bei Schweizer Lehrpersonen des 5. bis 9. Schuljahres. In diesem Beitrag wird das Ausmass der arbeitsbedingten Beanspruchungsfolgen beschrieben, mit Referenzwerten verglichen und es werden die Verteilungsunterschiede hinsichtlich sozioprofessioneller Merkmale dargestellt. Die mithilfe von multivariaten Varianzanalysen (MANOVA) generierten Ergebnisse zeigen signifikante Beanspruchungsunterschiede in Bezug auf Geschlecht und Unterrichtspensum. Was erste Erklärungen für diese Unterschiede betrifft, so wurden tiefere Werte für Erholungsmöglichkeiten bei Frauen und höhere Werte für die Belastung durch Reformen und Neuerungen bei Lehrpersonen mit hohem Teilpensum gefunden. Die Ergebnisse werden mit Blick auf Schlussfolgerungen für die Aus- und Weiterbildung von Lehrpersonen diskutiert.

Authors: Bertschy Beat , Riedo Dominicq , Baeriswyl Franz
Published: November 2023

Angesichts der bildungspolitischen Diskussion um Kompetenzen und den Lehrplan 21 sowie der damit verbundenen Ängste und Bedenken stellt sich die Frage: Braucht es infolge der Kompetenzorientierung ein neues Konzept für die Leistungsbeurteilung an den öffentlichen Schulen? Bei genauerer Analyse stellt kompetenzorientiertes Beurteilen keinen Paradigmenwechsel, sondern einen Kulturwandel dar, der seit Längerem im Entstehen begriffen, aber noch nicht abgeschlossen ist. Im Beitrag gilt es zunächst, Unterricht als Kompetenzaufbau zu betrachten, um danach klären zu können, wie sich Kompetenzen und kompetenzbasierte Lernziele beurteilen lassen. Im Anschluss daran werden Chancen und Herausforderungen dieses Kulturwandels dargestellt, um auf dieser Grundlage die Konsequenzen für die Arbeit der Lehrpersonen und der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung zu schildern. Der Beitrag endet mit einem abschliessenden Fazit zur Beurteilung im kompetenzorientierten Unterricht.

Published: November 2023

Welche Neuausrichtungen und Neugewichtungen werden im Bereich der Unterrichtsplanung im Kontext des Lehrplans 21 und der ihm zugrunde liegenden Idee der Kompetenzorientierung nötig? Wie sieht ein in der Ausbildung von Allrounder-Lehrpersonen einsetzbares Planungsmodell aus, das zur Planung von kompetenzorientiertem Unterricht im Kindergarten und in allen Fächern der Primarschule taugt, ohne die stufenspezifischen und fachdidaktischen Eigenheiten ausser Acht zu lassen? – Diesen Fragen geht der folgende Beitrag nach. Er beschreibt den Entwicklungsprozess eines stufen- und fachübergreifenden Rahmenmodells zur Planung von kompetenzorientiertem Unterricht sowie den aktuellen Stand dieser Klärungen im Studiengang Kindergarten-Primarstufe der Pädagogischen Hochschule St.Gallen (PHSG).

Diasporic (Dis)locations

Published: November 2023

Indo-Caribbean women writers are virtually invisible in the literary landscape because of cultural and social inhibitions and literary chauvinism. The book explores how cultural traditions and female modes of opposition to patriarchal control were transplanted from India and rearticulated in the Indo-Caribbean diaspora to determine whether the idea of “cultural continuity”, is in fact a postcolonial reality or a fictionalized myth. The Indian women who braved the treacherous crossing of the Atlantic, of the kala pani, to Trinidad and Guyana provided courage, determination, self-reliance and sexual independence to their literary granddaughters who in turn used the kala pani as the necessary language and frame of reference to position Indo-Caribbean female subjectivity with equating.
