Authors:   Taiz University, Abdulvasea Mohammed Omar Ahmed
Published: December 2024

In this work we discussed core issues about maximise the potential of digital technologies to improve lives, addressed key topics, including new developments in the field of sustainable economy. Measurement is crucial for achieving universal and meaningful connectivity (UMC). Accurate and comprehensive data help us understand priorities, design effective interventions and monitor progress. Each country has its own characteristics, faces its own challenges, and must follow its own path to UMC. Low-income economies show notable advancements, driven by gains in Internet access, mobile broadband penetration, and affordability. To assist stakeholders in their research work, the ICT Development Index (IDI) was launched to give a measure of countries’ digital connectivity. It was revived in 2023, with a new methodology that has UMC at its core. The country reviews are an important tool for regulators and policymakers as they work to create an environment that promotes investment, competition, digital innovation, protects consumers, and ensures that the benefits of digital transformation are widely shared. They highlight diverse experiences and different regulatory patterns while exploring good practices, challenges and lessons learnt by regulators in navigating digital transformation. The country reviews also help develop a better understanding of the role and impact of collaboration and collaborative governance, and the use of new tools for regulating ICT markets. The review is based on ITU publications: “Egypt’s digital transformation and collaborative regulation” and “The ICT Development Index”.
THE USE OF HEURISTICS TO REDUCE NOISE IMPACT ON QUALITY OF RECOGNITION OF VOICE COMMANDS
Authors:   Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), Nguyen Chi Thien
Published: December 2024

The problem of recognizing of voice commands in the background noise is discussed. Training speech signals are free of noise, but tested speech signals are usually noisy. The presence of noise leads to a strong deviation of spectra of tested speech signals from the spectra of their standards in the training set. Therefore, the quality of the recognition of voice commands in the background noise drops dramatically. If the spectrum of a noisy signal is very different from the spectrum of a clean signal, it is obvious that the degree of association of these spectra can be quite small. By increasing that degree the quality of recognition is expected to improve. To increase that degree the increase of the sample values of the amplitude spectra of the two signals by a constant is proposed. The results of experiments of recognition of voice commands in additive white Gaussian noise with the proposed increase are reported.

Authors: Bastos Silvana Azevedo
Published: December 2024

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos – EJA teve seus avanços e retrocessos em um país pluricultural. E a história continua. A EJA é destinada a pessoas que não tiveram oportunidade, em tempo convencional, assim como relata a legislação. Esse grupo de pessoas que não tiveram a oportunidade em tempo hábil possuem um perfil. Esse perfil pode ser definido através de características sociais, econômicas e culturais em um determinado território marcado, demarcado, estipulado que as pessoas convivem humanamente. Poderíamos ter vários perfis em um espaço territorial muito menor.  A EJA é heterogênea, pois é reduto de vários grupos. Se a escola pública é diversificada, a modalidade da EJA é mais diversificada consideravelmente. A diversidade realça, quando estamos em uma escola pública situado no bairro do Jardim Catarina, bairro mais populoso da cidade de São Gonçalo, uma das cidades com maiores índices demográficos do país.  Agora imaginem a proporcionalidade das divergências e conflitos. As escolas devem proporcionar aos alunos que são jovens, adultos, idosos e deficientes uma proposta pedagógica ou melhor andragógica, compatível com a maturidade e com as suas necessidades principalmente. Temos uma escola com alunos iguais e ao mesmo tempo diferentes com suas peculiaridades.
Impact Of NARCO Analysis On Accuracy And Reliability Evidence Obtained In Criminal Investigation In India
Authors: Singh Nidhi , Kumar Das Dr. Parantap
Published: December 2024

The practice of narcoanalysis, a controversial investigative technique involving the administration of drugs to elicit information from suspects, has been a subject of debate and scrutiny in India's criminal justice system. This abstract explores the impact of narcoanalysis on the accuracy and reliability of evidence obtained during criminal investigations in India. Narcoanalysis has gained popularity as a tool to extract vital information from reluctant or uncooperative suspects, thereby aiding law enforcement agencies in solving complex criminal cases. However, its usage has been met with significant ethical and legal concerns, as it raises questions about individual rights, the potential for coercion, and the reliability of information extracted under the influence of drugs. This research delves into the legal framework surrounding the admissibility of narcoanalysis-derived evidence in Indian courts and its compatibility with the fundamental principles of criminal jurisprudence. It analyses key landmark cases where narcoanalysis was employed and examines the resultant impact on trial outcomes and justice delivery. Furthermore, the study investigates the scientific validity and credibility of information obtained through narcoanalysis, considering the effects of drugs on memory recall and the possibility of false confessions or fabricated statements. Psychological factors influencing the reliability of narcoanalysis-derived evidence are also explored. To gain a comprehensive understanding, the research incorporates comparative analyses with other investigative techniques, such as traditional interrogation methods, polygraph tests, and modern forensic advancements, to assess the relative effectiveness of narcoanalysis in enhancing the accuracy of evidence. While it may provide crucial breakthroughs in certain cases, its potential for violating individual rights and producing unreliable information requires stringent safeguards, including strict adherence to ethical guidelines, informed consent procedures, and judicial oversight. Ultimately, this abstract highlights the ongoing debate surrounding narcoanalysis in the Indian criminal justice system and advocates for further research and discussion to establish its appropriate role in balancing the pursuit of truth with the protection of individual liberties and ensuring the reliability of evidence in criminal investigations.

A SURVEY ON NETWORK CODING AND ITS ENERGY EFFICIENCY BENEFITS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Authors: REDDY Dr P SATISH
Published: December 2024

Network Coding (NC) has emerged as a groundbreaking technique in communication networks, offering significant improvements in data transmission efficiency by allowing nodes to encode and combine incoming data before forwarding it. This is particularly beneficial for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which involve frequent and large-scale data exchanges among sensor nodes. In WSNs, where energy efficiency is a critical concern due to the limited power resources of sensor nodes, NC can substantially enhance the broadcast efficiency by merging multiple data streams using appropriate coding methods. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of Network Coding (NC) and its application in WSNs, emphasizing the substantial energy savings and performance improvements it offers. Through a detailed comparison of various information exchange methods within a clustered WSN structure, both analytical and simulation results are discussed, demonstrating that NC-based data exchange can dramatically reduce communication time, leading to a significant decrease in energy consumption per node. The results highlight the potential of NC as a key strategy for optimizing energy efficiency in WSNs, which is crucial for prolonging network lifetime and ensuring sustainable operation in realworld sensor deployments.

Psychological Features of Teaching Oral Speech in a Foreign Language
Authors: Panchak Olga V.
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the problems of teaching high school students oral speech in a foreign language. Improving speech training is considered in the context of taking into account the psychological characteristics of students' perception and understanding of oral speech. In the classroom, it is important for teachers to useoreign language as a means of communication with students. The perception of foreign speech requires extremely intense attention. The teacher's speech should be phonetically correct and understandable for students. The teacher should use clear stimuli (intonation, facial expressions, gestures) that will arouse the interest of high school students in the perception of foreign speech. The emotional attitude of students towards the teacher is a necessary condition that must be taken into account when conducting classes. An important condition for starting the speech activity is motivation. Preferably, the internal motivation is dominant as it holds the person in a learning situation stronger. In order to facilitate the speaking process, it is worth creating natural communication situations for high school students. The role of dialogic speech is also important in teaching a foreign language. When high school students create dialogues without additional training on simple topics, they learn not only to formulate their opinion, but also to present it with all the lexical and grammatical means they have already learned. For the interest of students in learning a foreign language it is worth organizing a foreign language club and various activities.

Published: December 2024

We proposed and analyzed a nonlinear mathematical model for typhoid fever and optimal control in a community with overpopulation. The model considered the effect of environmental precautions on the transmission of typhoid fever. We obtained the basic reproduction number denoting the epidemic indicator. We proved the local and global asymptomatic stability conditions for disease-free and endemic equilibrium. The model exhibits strategies for optimal control of typhoid fever, such as preventive strategies (environmental sanitation, proper hygiene, vaccination) and the treatment strategy. The numerical simulation of typhoid fever disease transmission and its maximum control summarized that prevention and treatment are the best methods for eradicating the disease in society. Since which is less than one, it follows that the disease-free equilibrium is asymptomatically stable, and that the disease will always die out.

Published: December 2024

A mobile water treatment plant was designed, constructed and tested to provide potable drinking water from almost all-natural water sources during military operations and emergency situations. The treatment plant was designed to fit into a Tata LPTA 713/32 military grade truck with payload capacity of 2500kg.In order to design a plant to treat water from different sources, several water treatment methods were analyzed including existing mobile water treatment plants in the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) to give a combination of treatment processes that effectively treat 2.16 m3 of water per day serving 505 cadets their daily water requirements with no time lapse per treatment cycle within a short period of time. The treatment flow process majorly involves the use of ion exchange unit, filtration units, water softening unit and reverse osmosis as the main treatment unit. Autodesk inventor software was used in the design and analysis of the locally constructed components. After the selection of the design process a reverse osmosis-based water treatment plant with 8 hours run time was constructed with water grade materials and processes. The treatment plant was tested using water samples from river Kaduna, water runoffs and pond from the Nigerian Defence Academy environs. The samples were tested at the Kaduna Water Board laboratory and the results obtained showed that the treatment unit was effective in removing all harmful microorganisms and adjusting all physiochemical properties of water to meet the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality. The filtration unit was capable of effectively reducing turbidity to the standard for all the water sample tested. The highest value of turbidity of raw water recorded was 1105 NTU and it was reduced to 4.05 NTU. The water softening units was effective for the removal of hardness to the desired standards; the highest value recorded at 208 mg/l was reduced to 60 mg/l. The treatment plant was also effective in stabilizing the PH of all the water samples to almost neutral as the PH values of all the treated water samples were between 6.8 and 7.10. The reverse osmosis unit was responsible for the removal of unwanted ions and heavy metals had high removal rate after testing except for Cadmium from river Kaduna sample which was 0.7408 ppm and reduced to 0.3407 ppm still higher than the recommended standard 0.03 ppm. At the end of this work it was observed that the water treatment plant was stable and consistent in treating water including the removal of heavy metals and that the efficiency of the removal of heavy metals can be improved by increasing the number of the reverse osmosis unit.

Authors: Hai Rul Halim Malyanah , Safiai Suhalia
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on learning processes worldwide. It has been determined that the family's socioeconomic status (SES) is an important factor affecting the learning processes at this time. Students from higher-SES backgrounds usually have more access to educational resources and opportunities. On the other hand, students from lower-SES families are more likely to face problems that can get in the way of their learning. This study examines the effect of parents' educational background on students’ mathematical achievement, the relationship between parents' financial status and students' e-learning experiences, and the influence of parents' financial status on a student's mathematics achievement. For this quantitative study, 100 Form 4 students from SMK Dato Onn were randomly selected to answer 15 survey questions. To achieve the objectives of this study, descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out using the statistical software SPSS. The result showed that uneducated parents significantly impact their children's education, particularly in mathematics. The relationship between parents’ financial status and students’ e-learning experiences is shown to be significant. In addition, there is no influence of parents' financial status on student achievement in mathematics. Students’ academic achievement in mathematics may be influenced by their parent’s financial status, but this is not the only factor. Many factors beyond financial resources can impact student achievement, including school quality, teacher experience, and individual student characteristics.

Published: December 2024

Mathematics anxiety, students’ attitudes, and home educational resources are among the factors that are often associated with students’ achievement. There are still few studies examining the relationship of these three variables to students’ achievement. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between mathematics anxiety, students' attitudes, and home educational resources on mathematics achievement among primary students. The Modified Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (mAMAS) and Short Version of Attitudes toward Mathematics Inventory (Short ATMI) and home educational resources (HER) from TIMSS questionnaire were used in this study. The questionnaires were adapted using forward-back translation and two experts were invited to validate the translated questionnaires. A total of 214 year 5 students from three rural schools in Semporna Sabah became the respondents in this study. The results from the study showed the reliability of the questionnaire is acceptable. Cronbach alpha value of mAMAS is 0.882, Short ATMI (0.922) and HER (0.639). The data with no violation assumption then were analyses with multiple regression. The for mathematics anxiety, student attitudes, and home educational resources towards mathematics achievement was found to be 0.226 using ordinary least square as a parameter estimator. Mathematics anxiety, student attitudes, and home educational resources explain 22.6% of the variation in mathematics achievement. The results of the multiple regression analysis were found to be significant (F=20.483, df=3, p<0.001). The achievement in mathematics is only significantly explained by two of the three independent variables (p<0.05). More specifically, home educational resources (𝛽=0.303) and mathematics anxiety (𝛽=-0.188). While student attitudes variable is not significant in explaining Mathematics achievement (p=0.054).

Authors: Mercado Fatima L.
Published: December 2024

This study investigated junior high school students’ perceptions of self-learning module utilization in San Miguel, Bulacan, Philippines during the 2020-2021 school year and examined the relationship of these perceptions and their academic performance. The researcher surveyed 100 Grade 7-10 students, based on stratified purposing sampling, using a validated instrument and analyzed the results using SPSS. Key findings indicate that students generally viewed self-learning modules favorably, with feedback and communication systems rated highest, while self-directed learning and time management were identified as areas needing improvement. Perceptions of self-learning module utilization had a positive significant relationship with academic performance. Specifically, parental and community support (r = .33, p < .01), technological affordances and learning resources (r = .33, p < .01), and self-directed learning and time management (r = .31, p < .01) were significantly related to performance. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that students' perceptions of self-learning modules predict their academic performance (β = 2.86, p < .05), though perceptions accounted for only 7% of the variance. Recommendations include developing teacher training on effective module implementation, providing parent orientation on supporting at-home learning, and creating a systematic program for module implementation involving all stakeholders. Future research should explore additional variables influencing academic performance in this context.

The objective of this study was to identify the potential use of native species present in four municipalities in southern Caquetá, Colombia. This information was collected from a literature review (scientific articles, books, technical sheets, theses). The 50 most abundant species in 42 plots established and defined based on their economic potential. 25 species reported potential uses in the 13 defined use categories and 14 species were found to have more than one use (multipurpose). The categories with the highest number of species were medicine, construction and food. Most of the multipurpose species grow mainly in highly disturbed areas and secondary forest, they are easy to access and recognize. The results show that there are several species with economic potential in this region that are not used and that can be linked with production chains that promote their sustainable use and economic growth in the area.

In this study, the ethanolic extracts of Moringa peregrinaseeds (MPSE) were evaluated for their antiparasitic, insecticidal, herbicidal, anti-leukemic, and anti-pancreatic lipase activities. The MPSE showed moderate antileishmanial activity against Leishmania major with an IC50 of 71.7±0.46 μg/mL, compared to 10±0.05 μg/mL and 4±0.05 μg/mL for pentamidine and amphotericin B, respectively. The extract demonstrated moderate insecticidal activity with 41% mortality in Rhyzopertha dominicaand 15.7% in Tribolium castaneum. MPSE exhibitedpotent herbicidal activity against Lemna minorat 1000 μg/mL. Additionally, MPSE inhibited the proliferation of leukemia K562 cells with an IC50 of 25 μg/mL and porcine pancreatic lipase with an IC50 of 83.7±0.57 μg/mL. These findings suggest that MPSE may be beneficial as an antiparasitic, insecticidal, herbicidal, anti-leukemic, and anti-pancreatic lipase agent.

The legislation of the Russian Federation allows for the possibility of non-profit legal entities (organizations) to carry out profitable activities (business activities). At the same time non-profit organizations are prohibited from distributing the profits among the participants (members, founders). However, the validity of such a general ban is questionable. Thus, the issue of legalization of profit-sharing mechanisms in non-profit organizations is being updated.
The purpose of the study is to develop a scientific approach to the distribution of profits in non-profit organizations.
When writing this article, general scientific methods (system, functional, group of logical methods) and special legal methods (formal legal, legal modeling method) were applied.
The article describes the differentiation of legal entities into commercial and non-commercial, where the main criterion is the possibility of profit distribution. It is concluded that the prohibition of profit distribution in non-profit organizations is not absolute due to legal exceptions and hidden methods of property withdrawal. A flexible model of controlled reduction of the property (assets) of a non-profit organization through profit distribution is proposed. Within the framework of such a model, various economic characteristics can be taken into account, ensuring a balance of interests of a non-profit organization, its participants (members, founders) and other stakeholders.

РОЗВИТОК НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ОСВІТИ В УМОВАХ ВІЙНИ, ПОВОЄННОГО ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ ТА ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Radkevych Valentyna
Published: December 2024

Презентована наукова доповідь акцентує увагу на трьох основних аспектах розвитку професійної освіти України: функціонуванні в умовах війни, ролі в повоєнному відновленні країни та завданнях євроінтеграції до освітнього і дослідницького просторів ЄС. Здійснено аналіз зумовленої війною трансформації ринків праці та освітніх послуг у сфері професійної (професійно-технічної) та фахової передвищої освіти. Обґрунтовано причини активізації участі приватного сектору у професійній підготовці робітничих кадрів. Охарактеризовано геополітичні і національні виклики національного ринку праці (гостра нестача робітничих кадрів у країнах ЄС; критична еміграція трудових ресурсів з України; значний відсоток українців, адаптованих за час війни до європейських ринків праці) та детерміновано трансформацію вітчизняної системи професійної освіти (необхідність забезпечення вимог воєнного ринку праці, збереження непопулярних через воєнний стан спеціальностей, відкриття нових професій і розроблення відповідних професійних стандартів для прискорення повоєнного відновлення країни). Охарактеризовано кадрову специфіку регіональних ринків праці та проблеми внутрішньо переміщених закладів освіти. Висвітлено особливості запровадження профільної середньої освіти. Розкрито трансформацію змістової парадигми професійної освіти. Окрема увага приділена діяльності Інституту професійної освіти НАПН України з питань науково-методичного забезпечення модернізації професійної і фахової передвищої освіти (розроблення і впровадження інноваційних методик і технологій; підготовка наукової, навчальної, виробничо-практичної і довідкової продукції; проведення масових заходів та експериментальної роботи в закладах освіти тощо) для підготовки майбутніх фахівців до повоєнного відновлення країни (розвиток цифрової, екологічної, енергоефективної, правової, самоосвітньої, кар’єрної, підприємницької та інших компетентностей). Загострено увагу на важливості докорінної зміни вітчизняної парадигми соціогуманітарної підготовки майбутніх фахівців, більш активного розвитку державно-приватного партнерства. Представлено науковий доробок учених Інституту з питань вивчення європейського досвіду розвитку системи професійної освіти, його аналіз та впровадження в сучасну освітню практику України.
