Authors:   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Tsalapova Oksana , Fedorenko Marina ,   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University
Published: September 2024

The article is dedicated to the problem of developing a reading culture in the context of digitalization in the era of non-technology. It has been noted that currently, the reading process has two practices: traditional and digital reading. It has been emphasized that digital reading has significantly developed in the field of education: firstly, because education itself is actively being digitalized, and secondly, because learning is always based on text (and therefore, reading). The article presents a definition of “digital reading” concept in the aspect of changes in the procedure of working with text, since modern readers use scrolling and skimming, F- and Z-pattern tactics for getting acquainted with text, and synoptic reading (processing several texts simultaneously). It has been proven that reading using electronic media is a new practice of reading activity for children and adolescents, and this practice has both positive and negative consequences (including digital dementia). The article characterizes the stages of forming a conscious reader: pre-reader, novice reader, skilled decoder, independent reader, conscious reader. The nature of interaction with the text during each stage of forming reading competence has been analyzed. It has been proven that work with the read text should be enhanced by creative processing of text material using various imaginative and imitative creative tasks: making crafts from different materials, scrapbooking, cardmaking, book trailers, collages, tag clouds, photo quests, fanfiction, etc. The article reveals one of the urgent problems of our time – the problem of accepting the new practice of digital reading in the educational space, the need to modify the methodology of working with text in order to preserve the reading and creative activity of students.

Authors:   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Mordovtseva Nataliia , Uzhchenko Dmytro ,   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University
Published: September 2024

The article examines the problem of oral professional speech of a future primary school teacher as an effective means of communication in the educational process. It is noted that the leading role in the speech of the future primary school teacher is oral speech – the process of speaking, communicative influence on the listener with the aim of providing educational information, knowledge in the form of a monologue or dialogue, using native methods, techniques and means for positive and productive activity of learners. The main goal of professional and pedagogical speech is to ensure productive communication and interaction between the teacher and students; the positive influence of the teacher on the consciousness of the students in order to form their beliefs and motives of activity. It is noted that for successful pedagogical communication, the future primary school teacher needs culture (lexical, grammatical, orthographic literacy, expressiveness) and technique (breathing, diction, timbre, tempo, dynamics) of speech. The implementation of these skills in the future teaching profession requires primary level teachers to study in-depth linguistic material from the modern Ukrainian language, speech culture, rhetoric, and perfect mastery of professional speech in general.

Published: September 2024

The article presents modern scientific approaches to the definition of «individual style of professional activity of future specialists» concept, essential characteristics of the individual style of professional activity of future specialists and directions of its formation in the conditions of higher education digitalization. Considering the essence of «individualization», «professional individuality» concepts, the studied phenomenon has been examined as a component of future specialists’ professionalization at the stage of study in higher education institutions, which is associated with the need to take into account the students’ personal capabilities and abilities, the development of the individual by means of educational and professional activities. The main directions of higher education digitalization have been defined. The potential of distance learning (in particular, on the basis of the Moodle platform) in providing an individual educational trajectory of students has been revealed. It suggests taking into account the pace and style of students’ educational activity, self-organization and self-education skills. The importance of non-formal and informal education in the context of formation of an individual style of professional activity of future specialists has been proved.
Prediction of hypotension during haemodialysis through data analytics and machine learning
Authors: Masum Shamsul K , Hopgood Adrian A , Lewis Robert J , Sangala Nicholas C
Published: September 2024

Background:

Patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) are often exposed to complications due to their treatment, whether at home or in-centre. Intradialytic hypotension (IDH), the most serious of the adverse effects, is associated with increased mortality. The ability to accurately predict a future episode of IDH would be a clinically useful tool so that preventative measures can be taken, yet no tool for the management and decision-making of IDH has been available until now. This study has aimed to investigate the scope of machine learning (ML) techniques in predicting IDH by analysing various standard clinical variables measured by clinicians.

Methods:

Using only routinely measured clinical observations, this study has identified the key variables and used machine learning to build an IDH predictor. The dataset comprised 73323 haemodialysis sessions with 36662 IDH events, collected from 3944 patients in 10 centres during 2000–2020.

Results:

The analysis revealed systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) as key predictor variables. Patients with IDH had lower pre-dialysis SBP and a greater percentage drop in their SBP during dialysis. They also had lower pre-dialysis DBP and a greater percentage drop in their DBP. The probability of IDH was increased by lower pre-SBP, greater delta-systolic and increased weight loss. A machine-learning model with Random Forest had the highest specificity (73.9%) and highest overall predictive accuracy (75.5%), but a model with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) achieved the highest sensitivity (78.5%) in predicting IDH. Tested on separate validation data, the Bi-LSTM model achieved accuracy 74.09%, sensitivity 74.81%, specificity 73.3% and a ROC-AUC score of 0.816. Using only pre-dialysis data, which would be available at the start of a dialysis session, the prediction performance dropped to accuracy 68.60%, sensitivity 67.40%, specificity 69.81%, and a ROC-AUC score of 0.757. However, as some variables can be measured in real time, the model’s performance can be expected to rise during dialysis toward that of the model using all data.

Conclusions:

Data analytics and machine learning can help to predict and avoid IDH. A prediction model using ML algorithms offers great promise as a tool in identifying patients at risk of IDH in advance. Moreover, adding the data measured during the dialysis could improve the model further and lead to personalised management and intervention of IDH. Future work will involve building a decision-support system for clinicians and conducting a clinical trial.

A Look at Corporate Code of Conduct Legislation
Authors: McBeth Adam
Published: September 2024

Over recent years, there has been a growing perception among civil society in the developed world that multinational corporations are engaged in socially and environmentally exploitative practices that they would never get away with, or even attempt, in their home countries. Whether right or wrong, that perception and its political and economic ramifications have driven a global movement for more responsible corporate behaviour. As part of that global movement, three common law jurisdictions—the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom—have seen legislation introduced to enforce standards of practice for multinational corporations based in those countries in respect of their overseas activities. None of those Bills has yet passed into law, but they are worthy of analysis as attempts to transform hitherto amorphous concepts like ‘corporate social responsibility’ into concrete legislation. This article compares and critically analyses the three Bills, making recommendations as to how they could be improved, with particular emphasis on the need to forge stronger links between the legislative provisions and international human rights law.
Decentering the colonial native speaker
Authors: Grammon Devin , Babel Anna
Published: September 2024

Abstract: In this article, we advocate a speakerhood studies approach as part of an effort to decenter the 'native speaker' in linguistics. Recent critiques of native-speakerhood problematize this construct's links to essentializing discourses born of ethnolinguistic nationalism and colonialism and advocate for more specific and less reductionist approaches to describing speakers in linguistics (e.g. Babel & Grammon 2021, Birkeland et al. 2024, Cheng et al. 2021). We argue that it is important to consider—indeed, to center—conceptions of speakerhood in multilingual, transnational communities that offer a contrast to discourses centered on language purism, nationalism, and standard language ideologies. We examine data from speakers of Quechua, analyzing ways in which their ideologies of speakerhood diverge from naturalized scientific discourses in linguistics, in order to demonstrate the possibilities and the stakes of a speakerhood studies approach.
Rejecting nativeness to produce a more accurate and just Linguistics
Authors: Birkeland Anne , Block Adeli , Craft Justin T. , Sedarous Yourdanis , Wang Sky , Wu Alexis , Namboodiripad Savithry
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Both the concept of native speaker/signer and the term itself have been widely critiqued across fields of language research. However, this term is still often used uncritically by linguists, with some disciplines centering the behavior and knowledge of native speakers as the main object of inquiry. We argue that the term native speaker/signer should not be treated as an objective analytic category. Instead, it is a language-ideological assemblage, a cluster of related language ideologies that assume essentialized relationships between linguistic practices and social identities. By valorizing normative modes of language learning and use, nativeness excludes already marginalized language users. Rather than simply avoiding the term or replacing it, we argue that linguists must interrogate the role of this concept and its associated theoretical baggage. We anticipate that moving away from nativeness and the ideas surrounding it will encourage linguists to account for the diverse linguistic repertoires held by all language users, force theoretical approaches to center nonnormative language use, and lead overall to a more accurate and just discipline.
La identidad del temporero en la literatura y el cine españoles desde una óptica transatlántica: La forastera y Ander
Authors: García-cardona Juan , Malpartida Rafael
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of the figure of the seasonal worker in Spanish fiction, specifically in literature and film, based on theories elaborated from a transatlantic prism revolving around the Bracero Program and the concept of Nepantla . Starting with a description of the migratory phenomenon in which the seasonal worker is treated as a cheap, flexible, and vulnerable labor force, we analyze two seasonal worker characters in the novel La forastera (2020) by Olga Merino and the film Ander (2009) by Roberto Castón, focusing the study on the development of their identities that are hindered by the temporality of their jobs. We find that the evolution of these characters, Ibrahima and José, from Senegal and Peru respectively, involves a sexual liberation, which in the case of the latter also represents a break with heteronormativity, since his identity is built from a queer relationship. Finally, the study of this migratory phenomenon is advocated from the point of view of its central characters to make visible, through the analysis of fiction, a set of identity problems that point towards humanities as a field of research and as an academic claim.
The impact of COVID-19 on smoking cessation services with insights for post-pandemic delivery
Authors: Marwa Windi Lameck , Griffiths Claire , Edwards Sophie , Gately Paul , Marshall Caroline , Cooke Carlton
Published: September 2024

Smoking is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality globally. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Smoking Cessation (SC) services faced many challenges, including lockdown and social distancing restrictions. Consequently, SC services had to adapt to the challenges in different ways or halt delivery. This research evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on the delivery and outcomes of SC services. This was achieved by comparing service delivery and outcomes pre-COVID-19 and during the pandemic and drawing insights for the delivery of SC services post-pandemic. Secondary analysis was performed on the data of 11,533 participants who attended the One Life Suffolk (OLS) SC services pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 4923 and 6610 participants attended SC services pre-COVID-19 and during COVID-19 respectively. Fifty-four percent of participants achieved quit status at week-4 while attending the SC services during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with 46% pre-COVID-19, (X2(1) = 38.2, p-value<0.001). Participants who attended the SC services during the COVID-19 period were 1.7 times more likely to achieve quit status at week-4 than pre-COVID-19. However, the proportion of participants lost-to-follow-up (LTF) was significantly higher during the COVID-19 period (11%) compared to pre-COVID-19 (7%), (X2(1) = 51.4, p-value <0.001). There was an increased participation and quit rate during the pandemic for modified, remotely delivered SC services indicating successful delivery of remote services during the pandemic. Although switching from face-to-face to online helped some smokers to access the service at a time of motivational readiness, despite the COVID-19 restrictions, some smokers could not access or use some aspects of the remote delivery due to a lack of internet access, poor digital literacy, no peer support and no commitment to a group during face-to-face sessions, contributing to an increased rate of LTF. Posing a major challenge to SC services delivery, COVID-19 compelled OLS SC services to adapt and be more innovative in their delivery. SC services need to continue to evolve and adapt by applying the lessons learnt during the pandemic in terms of flexibility and person-centered delivery given what did and did not work well for different demographics within the population.
Unlocking epitope similarity: A comparative analysis of the American manatee (Trichechus manatus) IgA and human IgA through an immuno-informatics approach
Authors: Díaz-Yayguaje Mariapaula , Caballero-Gaitan Susana , Valderrama-Aguirre Augusto
Published: September 2024

The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), experiencing population declines due to various threats, is the focus of conservation efforts that include the capture, rehabilitation, and release of orphaned calves when their mothers are unable to care for them. These efforts are compromised by the use of commercially available milk substitutes that lack essential components found in natural manatee breast milk, particularly immunoglobulin A (IgA). IgA plays a crucial role in nurturing the immune mucosal system and fostering a healthy microbiota. However, research on IgA in non-maternally fed manatees is limited due to the lack of species-specific reagents. To address this gap, our study employs immuno-informatics analysis to compare IgA sequences from manatees with those from other species, aiming to explore epitope similarity and sharing. We compared the protein sequence of manatee IgA with available IgA sequences, assessing similarity at the sequence, 3D structures, and epitope levels. Our findings reveal that human IgA exhibits the highest similarity in terms of sequence and 3D structure. Additionally, epitope analysis shows high conservation, identity, and similarity of predicted epitopes compared to human IgA. Future studies should focus on functional analysis using human IgA polyclonal reagents to detect manatee IgA in breast milk. Our findings highlight the potential of comparative analysis in advancing the understanding of immunology in non-human animals and overcoming challenges associated with the scarcity of species-specific reagents.
Clinical study of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive catheterization combined with compound cortex phellodendri fluid in the treatment of lactational breast abscess
Authors: Wang Na , Gong Lili , Ye Chunmei
Published: September 2024

Objective

To retrospectively analyze the clinical practicability and value of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive catheterization combined with compound Phellodendron Phellodendri liquid in the treatment of breast abscess during lactation.

Methods

139 patients with lactational breast abscess discharged from our hospital from January 2021 to November 2023 were selected. We divided them into groups according to treatment methods, analyzed whether there were statistical differences in observation indexes among groups and the risk factors affecting breastfeeding rate and treatment satisfaction.

Results

We found that numerical rating scale(NRS) score and incidence of breast fistula in group A were significantly lower than other, the continuous decrease of postoperative drainage in group A was higher than other, there were significant differences among groups (p<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that recovery time, drainage tube placement time, postoperative redness and swelling regression time, scar length, and VAS score of six groups were statistically significant (p<0.001). We found that the overall satisfaction and the rate of continued breastfeeding in group A (96.2%) were higher than other, the differences were statistically significant(p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant risk factors influencing treatment satisfaction included the time of drainage tube placement, postoperative redness and swelling regression time, treatment group, surgical method, NRS score on the first day after operation, postoperative drainage volume, healing time, scar length, flushing drugs, and VAS score. Postoperative redness and swelling regression time, treatment group, operation method and VAS score are all risk factors that influence the outcome of breastfeeding.

Conclusion

Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive catheterization combined with compound cortex phellodendri fluid in the treatment of breast abscess during lactation can not only reduce the pain caused by dressing change, but also offer numerous advantages, including shorter healing time, beautiful appearance, lower incidence of breast fistula, high satisfaction and high rate of continued breastfeeding.
Caramel connections: A memory box, the box office and Pathaan
Authors: Vohra Paromita
Published: September 2024

While the film Pathaan, at the time of its release in 2023, was read in terms of its overt political messaging and against the backdrop of a majoritarian political culture, this article sees Pathaan’s political work as more subterranean. Pathaan functions as a kind of memory box connecting viewers through a web of sensed memories, which I call caramel connections, of cinema and their unspoken connections and implications of heterogeneity. The film’s self-aware engagement is with both the history and the memory of an older Bollywood cinema: its earnestness, its disinterest in aesthetics and politics of realism claims the space of popular culture as political outside the binaries of left and right. Shah Rukh Khan is a star who has functioned as an emotive vehicle for transitional moments in India. What kind of transitional moment do Pathaan and Khan see themselves as travelling through?
Interactive effects of moose browsing and stand composition on the development of mixed species seedling stands
Authors:   Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), Natural Resources, Yliopistokatu 6B, FI-80100 Joensuu, Finland, Domisch Timo , Huuskonen Saija , Matala Juho , Nikula Ari
Published: September 2024

The moose (Alces alces L.), a common large herbivore in the boreal region, impairs forest regeneration by browsing on tree seedlings and saplings. Moose prefer deciduous species, but during winter more coniferous seedlings are used. We used meta-analyses, separately for deciduous and coniferous seedlings, for evaluating whether excluding moose browsing affected seedling density and height. In addition, we compared (1) deciduous seedling proportion, (2) stand density, (3) elapsed time from fencing and (4) estimated moose density with moose exclusion effect sizes. Fencing had a positive effect on coniferous seedling height. With more deciduous trees in a seedling stand, the fencing effect for both seedling height and density of coniferous seedlings decreased. On the other hand, the fencing effects increased with denser stands. At some point effect sizes turned to negative, and conifer species varied in their response to browsing. This implies that deciduous seedlings can protect conifers from browsing by moose up to some mixing ratio, but when deciduous seedling densities are too high, their negative effect increases, presumably through increased competition. Our results suggest that a moderate deciduous admixture in conifer-dominated mixed seedling stands can decrease moose damage but also underline the significance of timely silvicultural measures to minimize the negative effects of excessive deciduous seedlings and too dense stands. Due to differences in coniferous and deciduous species, as well as their compositions and amounts in studied experiments, more studies adjusted to local conditions are still needed to give exact measures for silvicultural recommendations.

Optimised rotating energy-efficient clustering for wireless sensor devices by sewing training-based optimisation
Authors: Altaee Naman Hala , Jaffar Mohammed Ameen Zinah
Published: September 2024

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become well-known as innovative, active, and robust technology accepted in many real-world applications. Due to the power supply restrictions and the power limitations of sensors that are typically known in WSN, using energy becomes a challenge in networks. These two restrictions are essential for achieving energy efficiency and raising the network’s lifetime in WSN. Clustering develops multipath routing and scalability, performing optimisation, and making WSN naturally more reliable. This paper introduces an Optimised Rotating Energy Efficient Clustering for Heterogeneous Devices (OREECHD). OREECHD is a clustering technique for heterogeneous WSNs that presents a unique cluster head selection method based on node residual energy and node-induced work. OREECHD defines the term intra-traffic rate limit (ITRL). The document outlines communication restrictions for traffic inside a network with WSNs. ITRL could be applied to develop energy efficiency. We apply the Sewing Training-Based Optimization (STBO) algorithm to recognise the best ITRL in various WSN adjustments. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm using clustering based on the best ITRL improves the energy consumption in the sensor network by 8.9 % over the REECHD. The simulation outcomes account for the number of dead nodes present in the OREECHD and REECHD networks during the 1 400 and 1 250 rounds, respectively. The network lifetime is significantly improved compared to REECHD, since OREECHD is a classic example of an unequal clustering algorithm. The network’s lifetime is 1 200 rounds, which exceeds the REECHD lifetime of 800 rounds. The rate of residual energy at the average node decreases from 19.39 % to 15.41 %.
so(3) ⊂ su(3) revisited
Authors: Burdík Čestmír , Pošta Severin , Rapp Erik
Published: September 2024

This paper reproduces the result of Elliot, namely that the irreducible finite dimensional representation of the Lie algebra su(3) of highest weight (m, n) is decomposed according to the embedding so(3) ⊂ su(3). First, a realisation (a representation in terms of vector fields) of the Lie algebra su(3) is constructed on a space of polynomials of three variables. The special polynomial basis of the representation space is given. In this basis, we find the highest weight vectors of the representation of the Lie subalgebra so(3) and in this way the representation space is decomposed to the direct sum of invariant subspaces. The process is illustrated by the example of the decomposition of the representation of highest weight (2, 2). As an additional result, the generating function of the decomposition is given.

Published: September 2024

Keeping electrical systems running is critical in industries especially in those that rely on static converters, for example in the case of inverters, continuous and safe of operation must be ensured even if one of the inverter’s static switch modules fails. This paper presents a method for fault detection in static converters. The study presents a 3-phase 3-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) inverter with IGBTs as static switches where open-circuit or closed-circuit faults are considered. In addition, leg failure and structural reconfiguration are also considered in this fault-tolerant inverter by adding a fourth 3-level leg.

Di mana nilai-nilai inklusifisme tersebut selanjutnya diajarkan melalui model pembelajaran substantif dan model pembelajaran reflektif dalam kegiatan pembelajaran di madrasah.
