Diseñar actividades de aprendizaje de lenguas: del bosquejo al aula
Authors: López Barrios Mario Luis
Published: June 2023

Las actividades de aprendizaje de lenguas son parte de una unidad didáctica desarrollada para un contexto educativo determinado, y su diseño conforma un ciclo de producción que va desde la identificación de una necesidad hasta la evaluación de los materiales. En este trabajo se analizan las adaptaciones llevadas a cabo en tres ejemplos de materiales con foco en el desarrollo de la conciencia lingüística, la producción oral y el aprendizaje de nuevas formas lingüísticas respectivamente. El análisis y la contrastación con marcos teóricos que fundamentan los aspectos abordados en cada uno de los casos descriptos permitió establecer la coherencia entre propósito y diseño y realizar sugerencias de adaptación a fin de mejorar las actividades. La conciencia de la relevancia de los marcos teóricos y didácticos en el diseño redunda en una mayor efectividad de las actividades y, por ende, en un impacto positivo en el aprendizaje.

Foreign language learning activities constitute a part of a teaching unit especially designed for a specific context and their design involves a production cycle spanning from the identification of a need to the evaluation of the materials. This paper describes three cases of materials development through the analysis of the adaptations made to activities with a focus on language awareness, oral production,and the learning of new grammar structures respectively. The analysis of the materials under development and the comparison with their underlying theoretical background allowed the verification of the coherence between the activity’s purpose and its design so that feedback can be provided with a view to improving them. Awareness of the relevance of the theoretical and pedagogic backgrounds that support the design of the activities results in greater efficacy and, ultimately, in a positive impact on learning.

Authors: Helms Lindsay , Pitner Hannah , Adams Rebecca
Published: June 2023

Research has shown that language barriers can impede access to healthcare and impact healthcare outcomes. Traditional Spanish courses havebeen criticized for not effectively addressing learners’ specific needs, while Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) courses on healthcare frequently lack a credible methodological foundation. The current study uses a Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) framework to conduct a needs analysis exploring the most vital Spanish language needs of nurses while also evaluating the effectiveness of previous language teaching in satisfying those needs. Surveys and interviews among 45 nurses and advanced nursing students show that the majority of participants recognized a need for healthcare-based Spanish instruction. The analysis uncovered specific linguistic features and real-world tasks designated as essential needs for nurses.

La investigación ha demostrado que las barreras del idioma pueden impedir el acceso a la atención médica y afectar los resultados de la atención médica. Los cursos tradicionales de español han sido criticados por no abordar de manera efectiva las necesidades específicas de los estudiantes, mientras que los cursos de Lenguaje para Fines Específicos (LSP) sobre atención médica a menudo carecen de una base metodológica creíble. El estudio actual utiliza un marco de enseñanza de idiomas basado en tareas (TBLT) para realizar un análisis de necesidades que explora las necesidades más vitales del idioma español de las enfermeras y, al mismo tiempo, evalúa la eficacia de la enseñanza previa del idioma para satisfacer esas necesidades. Las encuestas y entrevistas entre 45 enfermeras y estudiantes avanzados de enfermería muestran que la mayoría de los participantes reconocieron la necesidad de instrucción en español basada en la atención médica. El análisis descubrió características lingüísticas específicas y tareas del mundo real designadas como necesidades esenciales para las enfermeras.

Authors: Killman Jeffrey
Published: June 2023

In Teaching World Languages for Specific Purposes: A Practical Guide, the author, Diana Ruggiero, Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Memphis, draws on her over 10 years of experience designing and teaching Spanish as a world language for specific purposes (WLSP) in American higher education. Though Spanish in the US is the context within which she works, the book is intentionally written to be applicable to the teaching of all WLSPs and not just in the US context of higher education. The book also sets out to be useful to foreign languages instructors of all backgrounds that already have a foundation in language teaching in general and encourages them to build their own WLSP courses using their unique strengths and perspectives. Chapters 1-4 provide context for teaching WLSP, addressing issues such as the definition, scope, and benefits of WLSP, as well as preparation to teach WLSP. Chapters 5-11 address curricular development in community service learning (CSL), to which the author devotes considerable attention, the integration of WLSP into foreign languages classes, interpreting, culture, heritage language learners, and WSLSP during COVID-19. Lastly, the book concludes with a collection of teaching materials appendices ranging from specific online and print resources to a sample syllabus, lesson plans, assignments, and assessments.

Published: June 2023

A better understanding of the effect openness on volatility can lead to more effective government policy that addresses the adverse outcomes of volatility. By using NARDL model, Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter, and annual time-series data from the period 1981 to 2020, this study examined the effect of openness on output volatility in Ethiopia. From the NARDL bound test, the research find a long-run cointegration between output volatility, agricultural output, trade openness, lending rate, and money supply. We also found a long-run negative asymmetric effect, and short-run negative symmetric effect of openness on volatility—suggesting this open trading activity has a relationship that can reduce output volatility in Ethiopia. This possibility shows Ethiopia would benefit from international trade and openness reduces the adverse effects of volatility. Besides, we confirmed the positive asymmetric effect of agricultural output both in the long run and short run. The lending rate, that represents the cost of borrowing, has a positive effect on output volatility. The long-run and short-run coefficients of money supply have a negative and significant effect on output volatility.

Published: June 2023

The manufacturing industry’s contribution to East Java’s economy is high. Still, the trend continues to decline, while the contribution of the trade, hotel, and restaurant sectors is increasing. This indicates that there has been a shift in the economic structure from industry to trade. This research uses a quantitative approach based on the classification carried out by UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) and the World Bank. The results of secondary data from Central BPS and East Java Province BPS show that East Java Province is categorized as a semi-industrial area. East Java’s industrial development is experiencing a decline from the “semi- industrialization” stage to the “towards industrialization” stage. This is an early indication of a decline in industrialization or deindustrialization in East Java. If the stages of industrialization in East Java have decreased, but not for commodity industrialization (the ratio of the manufacturing industry’s contribution to the commodity sector). The value of commodity industrialization continues to increase. The commodity sector includes agriculture, mining, industry, construction, electricity, gas & drinking water.

Authors: Gonzalez Marcos R. , Rizk Paul , Hodo homas W. , Bedi Angad , Karczewski Daniel , Lozano-Calderon Santiago A.
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) that present with metastasis at diagnosis have a dire prognosis. Within this patient population, we sought to assess: (1) demographic and clinical characteristics, (2) metastatic patterns, (3) treatment strategies, and (4) disease-specific survival (DSS). Materials and Methods: The SEER database was queried to identify patients with histologically confirmed STS of the pelvis or extremity. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Disease-specific survival (DSS) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: A total of 22,683 patients were retrieved, out of which 2,553 (11.3%) had metastasis at diagnosis. Leiomyosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, spindle cell sarcoma, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (A-RMS) were the six most common STS presenting with metastasis. Among patients with metastasis, 53.7% and 33.2% of patients had primary tumors located in the lower limb and pelvis, respectively. Lung was the most common site of metastasis in all subtypes except A-RMS, in which bone metastases and lymph node (LN) predominated (85.2% and 62.1%, respectively). Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were associated with higher DSS (HR = 0.788 and HR = 0.755, respectively). Five-year DSS was below 20% in all tumor histologies. Two-year DSS for patients with synchronous lung and liver metastases was 28%. Conclusion: Although the lung was the most common site of metastasis, metastatic patterns are highly variable depending on tumor histology. Metastatic A-RMS is most commonly presented with regional LN and bone involvement. Disease-specific survival remained poor for patients with metastatic disease at presentation regardless of (neo)-adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Published: June 2023

Telehealth has seen rapid adoption in the past three years as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conventional methods for the measurement of vital signs are neither optimized for remote care nor highly scalable. Blood pressure is a critical vital parameter that currently cannot be measured remotely. Cameras are versatile and capable sensors that can be repurposed to measure vital signs. In this article, we review the use of cameras for remote photoplethysmography and assessment of blood pressure. We discuss the principles behind this technology and the current evidence for blood pressure measurement. We also explore future applications and potential challenges to provide a roadmap for researchers, clinicians, and regulators considering this new technology.
RELATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE COST OF RESERVATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Authors: Lezhniuk Petro , Komar Vyacheslav , Povstianko Kateryna
Published: June 2023

The generation of electricity by solar and wind power plants depends on natural conditions, and therefore there are problems with their participation in the process of balancing the modes of electric power systems (EPS). It is difficult for them to carry out the forecasted and approved hourly generation schedule for the next day with the specified accuracy. The UES is forced to keep a capacity reserve to compensate for deviations of renewable energy sources (EPS) from the projected generation schedule. Since these deviations can be both larger and smaller than the permissible ones, it is by this criterion that we can choose and form a means to balance the EPS regimes. The paper proposes a method for researching backup measures of renewable energy sources with unstable generation in EPS. The criterion of optimality for comparing RES reservation methods is their relative costs

Among the ways of reserving RES, system reserve is generally used (mainly the maneuverable capacities of thermal and hydroelectric power plants), but since it is not enough, it is suggested to use other means of reserving power available today: electrochemical electricity storage, hydrogen and biogas technologies.

Mathematical models based on the theory of similarity and the criterion method have been developed to analyze the technical and economic efficiency of certain means of reservation. The criterion method is preferred due to the fact that, with minimal available initial information, it provides an opportunity to compare different methods of reserving RES generation and determine the optimal ones.  The method makes it possible to assess their proportionality, as well as to determine the sensitivity of costs to the power of reservation methods.

Criterion models have been formed that make it possible to build the dependence of the costs and reserve means of variable RES generation on the capacity of the reserve means.. Such dependencies make it possible to more reasonably choose certain reservation methods at the first stage in accordance with the characteristics and requirements of the UES. They can be clarified if the price indicators that are valid at the moment and for the near future are known.

Published: June 2023

The paper study of the vibrating bucket of the manipulator as an excavator or tunnelling shield, with energy-saving adaptation to the aspects of the working environment for use in the construction and mining industry. The use of buckets and vibro-impact devices with automated operation allows a reduction of energy consumption for the destruction of rocks and hard soils with adaptation to their properties. The article proposes an algorithm for optimal control of the vibro-impact bucket element - a vibro-impact device using restrictions on the cutting resistance force and impact energy. The range of functioning of the vibro-impact device is determined. The optimal area of switching on the device is established, depending on the variable aspects of the working environment.

The integral characteristic, such as the cutting resistance force of the soil, were used. It finds that this characteristic depends on the angle of rotation of the manipulator's bucket and the soil density's attribute by the number of impacts of the DorNDI impactor. The influence of thermodynamic parameters on the impact energy during the functioning of the vibration impact device in a real environment is observed by considering the polytope index of the gas compression process in the pneumatic accumulator.

The work establishes the critical level of the force of static cutting of soils by an excavator of the IV size group for Ukrainian production and the criterion for the transition of the cutting process from static to dynamic mode depending on the variable characteristics of the working environment. The energy characteristics of the adaptive vibration-impact bucket of the manipulator are given. Introducing the vibro-impact bucket into the industrial production of Ukraine is recommended.

Published: June 2023

The main reason for the hydrodynamic instability in the start-up mode of the pumps of the high-pressure reactor makeup system is related to the inertial delay in the reaction of the pump head and rate to rapid changes in operating parameters (flow rates, pressure, etc.).The consequences of the hydrodynamic instability in the high-pressure reactor makeup system can be: violation of the conditions for compensating the flow of possible leaks; hydro- and thermal "shocks" and other negative effects in the operating and emergency modes of the reactor.The control armature does not prevent the conditions for the hydrodynamic instability in the transient mode of pump start-up.

An alternative approach to modernizing the high-pressure reactor makeup system with damping devices is proposed. Based on the performed modelling of the modernized system, the conditions and constructional and technical requirements for the prevention of the hydrodynamic instability in the transient modes of pump start-up were determined.

ACCIDENT LESSONS AT THE FUKUSHIMA-DAIICHI NPP FOR THE SAFETY OF THE NUCLEAR POWER INDUSTRY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Kondratyk V. , Pysmennyy Y. , Ostapenko І. , Fedorov D.
Published: June 2023

The main causes of destructive steam and gas explosions with catastrophic environmental consequences during the accidents at Fukushima-Daiichi NPP were the loss of tightness of the passive safety systems of the reactor residual fuel removal safety system and the critical residual heat removal function in the spent nuclear fuel holding tank . The main lesson of the Fukushima accident for the environmental safety of Ukraine's nuclear power industry is the need to anticipate the possibility of unlikely emergency events with catastrophic environmental consequences. Such unlikely events include: flooding of the nuclear power plant site, complete long-term blackout, steam-gas destructive explosions, joint action of external extreme phenomena. Based on this, the following lessons of the Fukushima accident were formulated for the nuclear power industry of Ukraine regarding unlikely emergency events with catastrophic environmental consequences: lesson 1 - the need for reliable isolation of diesel generator rooms from external extreme events; lesson 2 - the need to improve strategies and methods of managing accidents with complete long-term blackout and lesson 3 - the need to determine the conditions of steam-gas explosions. The lessons of the Fukushima accident and the known results of the analysis of explosive conditions in nuclear power plants with WWER determine the need to improve methods for modeling the conditions and consequences of steam and gas explosions at the dynamic stages of emergency processes.The lessons of the Fukushima accident and the results of the calculated modeling of accidents with complete long-term power outages of nuclear power plants with WWER determine the need to improve strategies and ways to prevent and manage accidents with complete long-term power outages.A promising approach is the integrated use of additional passive safety systems to ensure the function of feeding steam generators with turbopumps (area for high pressures) and natural circulation (area for low pressures).
FUZZY MODELING OF SWITCHING EQUIPMENT FOR TASKS OF ASSESSING THE RISK OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS IN THE EPS IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FAILURES
Authors: Bardyk Ye. , Bondarenko О.
Published: June 2023

Today in the electric power industry of Ukraine the issue of assessing the risk of EPS operation due to failures of electrical equipment is particularly important. Failures are associated with significant level of aging and low replacement rates of electrical equipment, also with the possible simultaneous emergency decommissioning of several elements as a result of terrorist attacks.

Based on the analysis of the operating conditions of high-voltage switching equipment, standards and operational documentation method of diagnosing the technical condition of SF6 circuit breakers is proposed. This method is based on the use of fuzzy set theory.

To assess the risk of power outages in the EPS in case of electrical equipment failures, a linguistic model is proposed for determining the total residual life and the probability of failure of SF6 high-voltage circuit breakers of various types. Which is based on the aggregation of information on the technical condition of individual functional units.

An approach is proposed to take into account the importance of individual units of the circuit breaker in terms of the impact on the total residual life by weight coefficients determined due to failure statistics. The result of determining the total residual life is the ability to estimate the probability of failure on the observation time interval.

Tuning and adaptation of the developed linguistic model of the SF6 circuit breaker to real operating conditions is provided by adjusting the parameters of the membership functions of the terms of the input linguistic variables using weighting coefficients and fuzzy inference with weighted average truth.

The developed linguistic mathematical model for assessing the technical condition and probability of failure of SF6 circuit breakers can be used as a component of the complex of risk analysis programs in the EPS. And the formation of preventive actions to ensure the operational reliability of electrical equipment and regime reliability of the EPS in case of emergency equipment failures.

Use of Large Language Model for Cyberbullying Detection
Authors: Ogunleye Bayode , Dharmaraj Babitha
Published: June 2023

The dominance of social media has added to the channels of bullying to perpetrators. Unfortunately, cyberbullying (CB) is the most prevalent phenomenon in today’s cyber world and is a severe threat to the mental and physical health of citizens. This opens the need to develop a robust system to prevent bullying content from online forums, blogs, and social media platforms to manage the impact in our society. Several machine learning (ML) algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. However, their performances are not consistent due to high class imbalance issue and generalisation. In recent years, large language models (LLM) like BERT and RoBERTa have achieved state of the art (SOTA) results in several natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Unfortunately, the LLMs have not been applied extensively. In our paper, we explored the use of these models for cyberbullying (CB) detection. We have prepared a new dataset (D2) from existing studies (Formspring and Twitter). Our experimental results for dataset D1 and D2 showed RoBERTa outperformed other models.

This study was carried out in a qualitative research type and phenomenological design since it was aimed to determine the life experiences of the parents of deaf children. The study sample consisted of 20 parents of deaf children registered in a special education and rehabilitation center who spoke Turkish and were literate and did not have hearing loss. The data were collected through in-depth interviews in Istanbul between December and January 2022. Colaizzi's phenomenological interpretation method was used in qualitative data analysis. It was determined that parents of deaf children experienced anxiety, sadness, and happiness during diagnosis. They lacked information at first, but then they gained knowledge in the process, and it was not easy to accept this process. They stated that having a deaf child requires more time, responsibility, and effort than other children, this situation affects their social life, and they experience interpersonal conflicts. When parents were asked how they coped, they said they did it through prayer, social support, or time to themselves. It can be recommended to apply psychosocial intervention programs to the parents of deaf children, especially their mothers, from the first diagnosis process.
TIG-DETR: Enhancing Texture Preservation and Information Interaction for Target Detection

Published: June 2023

In practical applications, the detection of objects with various sizes is a common requirement for most detectors. The feature pyramid network (FPN) is widely adopted as a framework to address this challenge. The field is witnessing an increasing number of transformer-based target detectors due to the widespread adoption of transformer technology. This paper initially examines the design flaws in FPN and transformer-based target detectors, followed by the introduction of a new transformer-based approach called Texturized Instance Guidance (TIG-DETR) to address these issues. Specifically, TIG-DETR comprises a backbone network, a new pyramidal structure known as Texture-Enhanced FPN (TE-FPN), and an enhanced DETR detector.The TE-FPN is composed of three components: a bottom-up pathway for enhancing texture information in the feature map, a lightweight attention module to address confounding effects resulting from cross-scale fusion, and a standard attention module to enhance the final output features.The improved DETR detector utilizes Shifted Window based Self-Attention to replace the multi-headed self-attention module in DETR, thereby accelerating model convergence. Moreover, it incorporates an Instance Based Advanced Guidance Module to enhance instance perception in the image by employing a pre-local self-attentive mechanism for recognizing larger instances. By employing TE-FPN instead of FPN in Faster RCNN with Resnet-50 as the backbone network, we achieve a 1.9% improvement in average accuracy. TIG-DETR achieves an average accuracy of 44.1 with Resnet-50 as the backbone network.

In resent years, China’s digital economy has achieved significant global recognition for its instrumental role in supporting sustainable economic and social development. Based on the panel data from China's provinces between 2013-2021, this paper investigates the impact and transmission mechanism of financial deepening on digital economy development. The study finds that financial deepening significantly improves digital economy development. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that financial deepening offers greater support to digital economy development in central and western regions than in the east. Further analysis shows that financial deepening improves technological innovation, which in turn promotes the digital economy development. After applying a test of robustness, the results proved significant.
Detection of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus From Brain Samples of Equines With Encephalitis

Published: June 2023

Alphavirus species are globally distributed zoonoses, primarily transmitted by arthropods. In Costa Rica, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) and Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) are endemic. The objective of this study is to detect these viruses in brain samples from equines displaying nervous signs. For this purpose, four published universal RT-PCR methods were compared. The most sensitive and specific RT-PCR method was used to test a total of 70 brain samples, including 40 from bovines and 30 from equines, all exhibiting nervous signs. In the positive cases, eight different brain regions were extracted and tested using this RT-PCR. Positive cases were confirmed through sequencing. Among the four universal RT-PCR assays, Torii RT-PCR demonstrated the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing VEEV and EEEV. Not all assessed brain regions showed DNA amplification. None of the bovine brains was positive and out of the 30 equine brain samples, only four tested positive, and sequencing confirmed two of these samples as VEEV subtype IE. Torii RT-PCR successfully detected VEEV in pools of the hip-pocampus, spinal cord, and basal nuclei, making these brain regions suitable for diagnosing this virus. None of the samples were positive for EEEV.
