Published: December 2023

Background: Climate change is becoming more evident, and distribution models are useful tools to predict the effect it might cause on biodiversity. Hypotheses: Under climate change scenarios, temperate forests species of the genus Pinus and Quercus will undergo reductions in their distribution area and changes in their spatial pattern. Studied species: Arbutus xalapensis, Clethra mexicana, Pinus devoniana, Pinus oocarpa, Pinus teocote, Quercus acutifolia, Quercus castanea, Quercus crassifolia, Quercus elliptica, Quercus magnoliifolia and Quercus rugosa. Study site: Oaxaca Methods: Two scenarios were constructed, an optimistic one (SSP-1 and RCP 2-6) and a pessimistic one (SSP-5 and RCP 8.5) for the years 2030 and 2090. A total of 1,383 records and eight bioclimatic variables were used, along with seven learning algorithms, evaluated using ROC and TSS metrics. Results: An ensemble model was obtained, in which the most important contributing variables were precipitation of the wettest quarter, mean annual temperature, minimum temperature of the coldest month and annual temperature range. The species that showed the highest ROC values were Clethra mexicana (0.91) and Arbutus xalapensis (0.89) with TSS values of 0.68 and 0.60, respectively. Conclusions: Regardless of the scenario, by the year 2090 all species of Pinus and Quercus will reduce their potential distribution. Therefore, it is urgent to establish conservation policies.
Regional Features of Determination and Prevention of Modern Hooliganism (on the Example of the Siberian Federal District)
Authors: Repetskaya Anna , Rybakova Anastasiya
Published: December 2023

The article presents an analysis of the causes and conditions determining regional hooliganism on the example of a study conducted in the Siberian Federal District (Siberian Federal District). The conclusions obtained during the study are based on the reporting information on preventive work in the Siberian Federal District of the internal affairs bodies for the period 2018–2022; survey results of 200 citizens living in the Siberian Federal District; results of studying the materials of 300 criminal cases considered by the courts of the subjects of the district. The authors concluded that the regional specifics of the determination of hooliganism are mainly associated with the peculiarities of the development of the region itself (migration mobility of the population with insufficient organization of this process, uneven economic development, the vastness of the region, etc.) and the traditions that exist here, often associated with alcohol consumption. However, in general, the regional contradictions of social development, which form deformations of group psychology in various spheres (socioeconomic, moral, organizational, legal), which cause hooliganism, coincide with the all-Russian ones, and are described in detail in the article. Among the conditions contributing to the implementation of these reasons the following are indicated: insufficient habitat safety associated with the lack of technical equipment of public places with the necessary lighting, the presence of video surveillance cameras, underdeveloped infrastructure of residential areas, the lack of their improvement and adjacent areas; lack of informatization of municipal emergency and public utilities management processes; insufficient patrolling by police in public places. In addition, the situational conditions determining the direct commission of hooliganism of various types of the most common in the Siberian Federal District (street, household, transport) were analyzed. Based on the analysis of these determinants, some groups of preventive measures (organizational, technical, legal, etc.) aimed at countering regional hooliganism were proposed.

Authors: Komarova Galina , Zmanovskaya Olga , Kasatkina Galina
Published: December 2023

In the modern conditions of the Russian tax system, the main focus is on improving the system of state tax control, including the formation of a system of tax risks. At the same time, when implementing measures to improve the control carried out by tax authorities, the taxpayers’ expenses associated with this improvement have practically not been investigated. Both in the theory and practice, there are theoretical, methodological and systematic studies of the concept of “tax control”, “types and methods of tax control”, the differences between tax control and control activities of tax authorities are considered, the results of tax control are evaluated. The purpose of the research is to study the impact of the measures taken to improve the effectiveness of tax control on the emergence and performance of additional functions by taxpayers-organizations and individual entrepreneurs. The research methodology is based on the analysis of the main changes. The article examines the issues related to the changes in the tax control system, including value added tax, due to the introduction of “goods subject to traceability”. “Traceability” is defined as an additional method of carrying out current tax control over the completeness and timeliness of budget revenues from tax payments in the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty lies in the author's definition of the concept of “traceability” and the identification of the impact of the measures taken to improve the effectiveness of tax control on the introduction of additional responsibilities in accounting and the formation of additional information by taxpayers.
Problems of Suburbanized Territories of the Irkutsk Agglomeration, on the Example of the Khomutovo Municipal Formation
Authors: Astafyev Sergey
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the study is determined by the problems faced by residents of suburban settlements around large cities related to daily commute and low standard of comfort living in suburban areas. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to develop a mechanism for taking into account public opinion and the requirements of urban planning documentation while improving the quality of life in suburbanized areas. We used sociological and statistical methods to adjust urban planning documentation. The study developed a strategy for the socio-economic and territorial development of the Khomutovsky municipality, conducted by the Department of Construction Economics and Real Estate Management of Baikal State University in 2021-2022. As a part of a project we carried out project-based training for undergraduates and bachelors. Also we conducted a survey of the population that revealed main problems of territories located in the suburbs of Irkutsk. The main conclusion from the study was that residents living in suburban settlements require the same level of quality of social infrastructure as city dwellers, but they pay taxes in cities where they work. This fact is a big problem for suburban municipalities because it does not allow to maintain and develop social infrastructure required by residents within the framework of the available budget revenues. The task of the administration of such suburban rural settlements is to increase the number of jobs on their territory, and, accordingly, increase tax revenues to the local budget.
Design of the Regional Healthcare Financing Mechanism
Authors: Gradoboev Evgeny , Solskaya Irina
Published: December 2023

The significance of the influence of exogenous factors on the stability of the state of the socio-economic system (SES) necessitates the development of a methodological framework for regulating regional systems. One of the most important criteria for assessing the sustainability of the SES is the state of human capital, which assumes, first of all, the sufficiency of medical services in accordance with the necessary dynamics of the natural production of labor resources. The mathematical theory of games served as the basic theory of the formalization of the task of designing an economic mechanism. The model of the choice of the economic mechanism of the regional subsystem of healthcare is formulated in terms of the task of the design of the economy.
The results of the research presented in the article summarize the author's ideas about the possibility of modeling the choice of an economic mechanism for financing a regional healthcare system that provides the required level of sustainability based on the sufficiency of financing for medical services.
After evaluating the possibility of designing specific economic mechanisms, the presence of sustainable interaction between financing healthcare and the level of sustainable development of the region’s SES was substantiated.

Authors:   HSE University, Sautkina Elena V. , Ivanova Alexandra A. ,   HSE University
Published: December 2023

The study of pro-environmental behaviour and its determinants is poignantly important given the current trends of environmental and climate change. We aimed to investigate the role of motivation in explaining pro-environmental behavior in Russia. In addition, the explanatory role of motivation was considered in relation to two other important predictors of pro-environmental behavior: environmental concern and connectedness to nature. The study had a cross-sectional design and involved 462 respondents (56.7% women; Mage = 36.73, SD = 11.77; 56.5% higher education; 60% residents of large cities). Multiple regression analysis and dominance analysis were used. Among the self-determined forms of motivation, internal and integrated motivation positively explained pro-environmental behavior, with integrated motivation explaining all behaviour types. Identified motivation did not significantly explain behavior. Among the non-self-determined forms, introjected motivation positively predicted behavior, extrinsic motivation showed mixed results, and amotivation was a negative predictor. Gender, age, and city size predicted behavior positively, while education and income predicted it negatively. In addition, integrated motivation was the dominant predictor for waste management behaviour, social behaviour and resource conservation behaviour. Age, income, and education were marginally dominant, compared to integrated motivation, predictors of sustainable purchases and climate-relevant behaviour (aiming to reduce carbon footprint). While being important predictors, intrinsic motivation, amotivation, environmental (biospheric) concern, and connectedness to nature, were less dominant compared to integrated motivation for all behaviour types.

Published: December 2023

In order to advance the field of environmental psychology and gain a more profound understanding in the determinants for pro-environmental behavior in the Russian context, it is essential to increase existing research methodology. Therefore, the goal of this study was to adapt and validate the Environmental Concern Scale developed by Schultz in 2001. The methodology was developed based on the value nature of attitude and deals with evaluations of the importance of environmental consequences for oneself, others, and the animal world (egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric concern). Data from three studies which used slightly different question formulations (1333 respondents in total) were analyzed to investigate the three-factor structure of the scale. The tested 12 items of the scale full version showed satisfactory fit with the empirical data. Based on the analysis of covariance and factor loadings, one question was removed for each type of concern. After reduction, the scale showed good model fit, and its factors showed high internal consistency. Importantly, the analysis of the results for the extended formulations did not significantly differ from the abbreviated versions. Consequently, the final version of the concern scale is presented with questions devoid of additional specifications. The convergent validity of the scale was confirmed by the constructs of values and nature connectedness. It was found that all forms of concern were higher in women compared to men. Furthermore, biospheric and altruistic concerns increased with respondents' age and were higher among residents of Russian regions compared to inhabitants of Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.
Essential surgeries for the electrophysiological recording from a behaving non-human primate brain 1 (Head fixation post and recording chamber implantation) v1
Authors: Kase Daisuke , J Lipski Witold , R Harsch Devin , S Turner Robert
Published: December 2023

The implantation of a head fixation post and recording chamber is the first step to performing electrophysiological recording of head-restrained awake non-human primates. Implants can last for many years if there are no infections. However, they may fail in a few months if an infection occurs, especially between the implant and the skull. Therefore, performing surgical procedures under strictly sterile conditions is the key to the successful progress of the project.

Published: December 2023

Contributed by many factors, teachers’ identity, particularly among novice teachers, is essential since it affects their teaching practice and professional career. This study explored different influences that contributed to the construction of novice Indonesian teachers of English who apparently faced challenges in constructing their identity. This narrative inquiry study involved two novice English teachers of Primary and Senior High Schools in East and West Bandung with one and a half years of teaching experience. Data from in-depth interviews and journal writing were analyzed by Creswell’s (2014) thematic analysis. The study figured out that negotiating with school context and understanding oneself were the factors that influenced novice teachers’ identity construction. Negotiating with the school context shows that the novice teachers interacted with the school context and made some adjustments to their teacher identity. Understanding oneself refers to the meaning-making process of themselves as a person and a teacher. This study also found that novice teachers had some negotiations about their idealism and the school’s current practices. One of the participants became more eager to reflect her idealism in her practice, while the other tried to let go of her idealism and adjust with her students. This study suggested that novice teachers should do continuous reflections on their teaching practices and themselves as teachers to help them develop as professionals.

Authors: Anggraini Hesti Wahyuni , Hayati Rita , Sari Armilia
Published: December 2023

Technology use creates new insights to explore thoroughly online foreign language learning. This study aims to examine students’ anxiety in online classes under four research objectives. They are (1) to uncover students’ anxiety levels in online foreign language learning; (2) to investigate the effects of anxiety levels in online learning on students’ English achievement; (3) to reveal factors affecting student’s anxiety; and (4) to investigate students’ strategies to handle their anxiety in online learning. Questionnaires were distributed to 72 students from a public university in South Sumatra, Indonesia. In addition, a semi-structured interview was also administered. The data was described quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings show that most students felt a medium level of anxiety in online learning. The students did not significantly experience unusual levels of anxiety as they were accustomed to technology tools and found no problems with that. A negative correlation between students’ anxiety scale on online learning and their academic achievement was identified. Indirect feedback, minimum teacher-and-student presence, and the absence of eye contact could be the main factors of online learning failure. Peer intimidation and fear of speaking English might also be the sources of students’ anxiety in online learning. Students also stated that there are no specific ways to handle anxiety since it is viewed as an unstable foreign language learning factor, which can be changed based on the learning context. At last, it is expected that the result of the study can raise students’ awareness of how online class can reduce their anxiety.

Published: December 2023

The shift to a full online learning environment (OLE) introduces new challenges which affect the motivation and engagement of students. This study investigates the relationship between the online learning environment and online student engagement as mediated by intrinsic motivation. The self-system model of motivational development (SSMMD) was used as the framework of the study. The researchers hypothesized that intrinsic motivation will partially mediate the relationship between the online learning environment (OLE) and online student engagement (OSE). 255 college students completed the survey. GLM mediation analysis was conducted using JAMOVI. Our analysis shows that the online learning environment significantly predicts online student engagement (β = 0.553, p001). A decrease in regression weight with the direct effect was observed with the inclusion of intrinsic motivation as a mediator (β = .430, p.001). Even with the inclusion of intrinsic motivation, the direct effect of OLE on OSE remained significant. The indirect effect was also significant using the Corrected bias bootstrap percentile with 1000 repetitions (β = 0.127, p = 0.002, 95% CI [0.0245, 0.103]). Findings support the hypothesized partial mediation of intrinsic motivation between OLE and OSE.

The study is a part of the government-sponsored literacy program to improve the Indonesian secondary students’ literacy performance. Particularly, this study focuses on the examination of the program as the attempt to improve the secondary teachers’ literacy instruction at the under-resourced schools. The program implemented in the Bahasa Indonesia subject by employing Reading to Learn pedagogy (Rose, 2016) in teaching the explanatory text. Using an interventional ethnographic study design, which involves three main phases i.e. Reading to Learn pedagogy workshop, the R2L implementation with mentoring, and evaluation, the current study investigates the experience of two female eighth graders’ contract-based teachers, in their early thirties, at two under-resourced secondary schools in, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The data collected in this three-month study were observation, interviews with the teachers, principal, and students, recorded teaching sessions, recorded reflections sessions, and lesson plans and teaching materials. The findings of the study reveal that the teachers’ literacy instruction in utilizing stages in the R2L pedagogy indicated significant improvement from their previous practice. The intensive mentoring provided during the workshop and school implementation of the R2L implementation have equipped the teachers with more solid pedagogical foundation in internalizing and implementing the R2L pedagogy. In addition, the program has promoted the teachers’ professional development and assisted the school to gain larger access to literacy pedagogy for better literacy participation.

Authors: Azrai Eka Putri , Rini Daniar Setyo , Kurnianto Mathias Bagas , Ampang Johsamer
Published: December 2023

The competitive world situation caused by globalization requires students in the 21st century to have the ability to think critically. Critical thinking ability is a thinking process that has a purpose and focuses on producing an idea to solve a problem. However, several studies show that students' critical thinking skills in biology are still in the low to medium category. Thus, several efforts are needed to improve critical thinking skills, one of which can be through the use of technology-based learning media. This study aims to improve students' critical thinking ability using Augmented Reality learning media. This research was carried out from January to July 2022 at State Senior High School 31 Jakarta (henceforth called SMAN 31 Jakarta). The research used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental class used AR SINAPS learning media to assist the learning process. The control class, on the other hand, used picture media. The research involved 44 students selected by simple random sampling. The participants were divided into experimental and control classes, each of which amounted to 22 students. The data analysis technique used was a t-test with a significant level (α) = 0.05. Based on the calculations on the average gain score for the experimental and control classes, a significance value of 0.01 was obtained, meaning that using AR SINAPS learning media might enhance high school students' critical thinking ability better than using the picture media.
MULTIMODAL REPRESENTATIONS ACROSS SCIENTIFIC GENRES: PERSPECTIVES FROM SCIENCE TEACHERS' PRACTICES
Authors: Padios Alfredo , Pascua Sarah , Orleans Antriman
Published: December 2023

Multimodal representations have caught science education researchers’ attention due to its immense role in meaning making. While much have been written about this area of research, the interplay between multimodal representations and scientific genres in classrooms is yet to be fully explored.The purpose of this study is to examine multimodal representations across scientific genres from the viewpoints of science teachers.  With Filipino science teachers as respondents, we employed a sequential explanatory mixed methods research design to determine the frequency of occurrence of scientific genres in classrooms as well as the frequency of use of multimodal representations across each scientific genre. First, we administered the questionnaire, analyzed the result then conducted a follow-up interview to determine how and why scientific genres and multimodal representations are utilized. Results revealed that information report and explanation are the genres most utilized by science teachers primarily because they conform to curriculum standards and that these support students’ learning and skills. On the other hand, experimental account and argument genres are used less often largely due to lack of available materials and teacher competence. Across these genres, linguistic-verbal, visual-graphical and gestural-kinesthetic representations are “always” used while material-operational and mathematical-symbolic are used to a lesser extent. More importantly, this study confirms again that science teaching is multimodal mainly to address each student learning needs and make meaning making thus, science learning, easier. Important implications to practice and research are discussed.

Published: December 2023

Politeness in speech acts has been of great importance in social interaction to maintain the interpersonal relationship between the interlocutors. Nevertheless, research on how politeness strategies are conveyed in a particular speech act in a contemporary literary work is still lacking. This study aims to determine the forms of positive politeness strategies in directive speech acts with the requesting function. A descriptive qualitative was employed. The data were taken from directive speech with the function of requests contained in the television drama “School 2013”. A literature study method with listening and note-taking techniques was employed to analyze the data. This research particularly referred to Brown and Levinson’s theory of politeness strategies. The results showed that positive politeness sub-strategy 12 (include both Speaker and Hearer in the activity) were more widely used, namely 31 data (37%). The contributing factor is the frequent use of this utterance by the teacher to the students and speakers to their peers. By using positive politeness strategies, the speakers can show a sense of familiarity or a greater sense of care. It gives the impression that the speakers are on the same boat each other, and the request becomes of great importance for both interlocutors.
Political, economic and social influences on Moon Jae-In's policy changes in THAAD deployment
Authors: Rostineu Rostineu , Ali Syahroni Reza
Published: December 2023

This research discusses the attitude of President Moon Jae-In in THAAD placement. THAAD is a defense system against short and medium-range missiles. In February 2016, South Korea and the United States reached an agreement on the plan to deploy Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD in South Korea. In the process of reaching this agreement, South Korea faces complex considerations that are both internal (increasing national security) and external (possible resistance from China and Russia). Moreover, in the middle of the process of implementing THAAD placement, there was a change of government from Park Geun-Hee to Moon Jae-In. China used several official and unofficial media to pressure South Korea during Park Geun-Hee's reign. This problem continued until the government changed to Moon Jae-In, but in the end the THAAD problem was resolved. This background leads to the research question: what factors are contributing behind Moon Jae-In's attitude regarding THAAD placement? By applying the descriptive-analysis method with data sources in the form of online media, this study aimed to explain the background that drove Moon Jae-In to resolve conflicts related to THAAD placement. The results of the analysis showed that there were political, economic, and social factors that drived changes related to the conflict over the placement of THAAD during the reign of Moon Jae-In.

Yanggongju, the sexual workers for G.I. soldiers who were stationed in Korea particularly during and after Korean war, were stigmatized as 'bad women' for having sexual relationships out of marriage with foreign men. These women must endure hardships that came from the clients or the pimps in daily basis. This study aims to investigate how the life and polemics yanggongju had experienced in the period of 1950-1955. The early generations of yanggongju consisted of women with various backgrounds, such as war widows and women who became the breadwinner of the family. This study used qualitative method and the data were collected from the articles of Kyunghyang Shinmun, Dong-a Ilbo, and Chosun Ilbo in the period of January 1, 1950, to December 31, 1555, accessed from a news archive site called naver news library.  After two-times process of data reduction, 47 articles were collected under the category of nyu-seu (news). It was found that the early generation of yanggongju experienced at least four kinds of polemics in their life: (1) life difficulties (physically and mentally), such as fallen women stigma, vulnerable to sexual transmitting disease, and having many debts, (2) child neglect in the form of attempted abortion and child abandonment, (3) suicide and abused, and (4) alcohol and drug (opium) addiction. It is hoped that this research can contribute to further researches on the problem of yanggongju and their position as a marginalized people.
여기까지: Korean as a foreign language learning fossilization among adult Filipinos
Authors: Galang Aljon Delmo
Published: December 2023

Language fossilization happens when learners do not progress anymore in certain features of the target language, especially in interlanguage learning context. this investigation sought to answer the following research questions: (a) What are the linguistic features in Korean language that the KFL Filipino learner participants are fossilized in? (b) Why do they arrive at such state of fossilization?. The qualitative study used narrative approach to identify the linguistic features that the KFL Filipino learner participants are fossilized in, and the reasons behind such language phenomenon, based on their learning narratives. There were twelve (12) KFL Filipino learners who participated in the study. Their narratives on KFL learning were analyzed, coded, and arranged to identify these fossilizations and the reasons behind. Findings reveal that the KFL (a) fossilizations are in sound-character correspondence, orthographical-phonological metamorphosis, language syntax, verb conjugation and suffixation in context, and vocabulary difficulty and (b) the reasons of fossilization are weak memory, language disorder, Hangeul character resemblance and  subtle differences, differences of L1 and L2 sentence patterns to Korean language syntax, lack of interest on sources of language exposure, discourse opportunities with Korean language speakers, and fear of language use due to uncertainty. These results contribute to improvement of foreign language instruction.

In August 2018, Indonesia hosted the Asian Games Jakarta – Palembang 2018. After hosting in 1962, Indonesia has had the theme "Asia's Energy", meaning that Indonesia is expected to be a source of energy support for some Asian countries on the world stage. The study aimed to discover the similarities and differences shown on the articles and how Indonesia is represented through lexicon, grammar, discourse practices, grammar, and discourse practices in online news articles written by the Korean Republic’s media. This study used a critical discourse analysis theory of Norman Fairclough with a descriptive qualitative method, developing critical discourse analysis based on formal-systemic linguistic assumptions. Based on the study results, it is observed that the published news articles during the opening were the articles giving a primary focus on Indonesia compared to the published articles during the event and closing, data was collected based on online news articles during the 2018 Jakarta Palembang Asian Games using a literature study of 15 articles. There is also a finding regarding text production in articles of Asian Games Jakarta-Palembang 2018 that were not influenced by outside intervention other than the media itself. Then, based on the text analysis results, it is discovered that Indonesian representations were divided into the viewpoint of a country and the viewpoint of the host of the Asian Games Jakarta Palembang 2018. In addition, the implications of this research are to find out Indonesia’s representation in the news media of the Republic of Korea during the 2018 Asian Games.

Authors: Fatikha Disha Aulia
Published: December 2023

Without even realizing it, language is a common tool we employ in social interactions to interact and communicate. This suggests that humans communicate with one another through language. This research aims to find a compliment response to the drama "Twenty-One Twenty-Five. In this drama, "Twenty-Five Twenty-One," found that there is a compliment response between the characters. Based on Herbert's compliment, responses are divided into 12 forms Appreciation Token, Comment acceptance, Praise Upgrade, Comment history, Reassignment, Return, Scale Down, Question, Disagreement, Qualification, No Acknowledgement, and Request Interpretation. This research used Herbert's compliment responses theory to identify compliment responses from dialogue characters in the drama “Twenty-Five Twenty-One”. This research uses data from dialogue characters in the drama "Twenty-One Twenty-Five” and qualitative method. Next, Simak and Padan's methods were used to identify compliment responses. After collecting compliment response data from the characters’ dialogue, compliment responses are analyzed by implementing a descriptive way. After analyzing compliment response data, the results found that of the 12 praise responses put forward by Herbert, there were 9 compliment responses in the drama. These are Appreciation token, Comment Acceptance, Praise Upgrade, Comment History, Return, Scale Down, Question, Disagreement, and also No Acknowledgement. Korean people tend to respond to compliments not only by saying "감사합니다 (gamsahamnida)" or "고마워 (gomawo)", but also use another expression to respond to some compliments, such as a smile or the person is accepting the compliment, but adding some comment.

Published: December 2023

Successful education will determine the development of a country towards independence in all fields. Learning media is an important part because learning media is a tool used to deliver learning materials. Physical learning cannot be separated from the media and teaching materials used. Media and teaching materials are often used in the form of books or modules that contain explanations with sentences and only a few pictures and make students bored and lacking in experience. The complexity of the material presented makes students less interested in reading textbooks including physics books. Students tend to be interested in reading picture story books (such as comics) rather than ordinary textbooks, or they can also use webtoons. The development of science. and technology, gave birth to online learning and using internet facilities as a learning method that solves problems to reduce difficulties in understanding learning. In this case, students will understand the material of optical instruments that are packaged more easily. The story presented is plotted so that students can imagine and easily recall the optical instrument material. The problem in this research is how to develop Webtoon-based learning media for the material of optical devices for class XI high school students. This research method uses research and development methods. Research and development (RD) in education is to develop and validate educational products. While the type of development is carried out using a 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The results of this study. Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that the learning media using webtoons for optical instrument material in class XI high school students is very feasible with several improvements.

In this work, uniform and highly aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were simply synthesized on zinc plates by hydrothermal method using zinc–ammonia complex solution. Effects of ZnO seed layer formation, Zn(NO3)2 concentration and NH3/Zn(NO3)2 mole ratio (R) in the reaction medium on the morphology and crystal structure of nanorods were investigated in detail. ZnO nanorods grown on zinc surfaces were highly crystalline and had a hexagonal wurtzite structure, as revealed by XRD analysis. In addition, the dominant crystal growth direction was in c-axis, indicating the verticality of the nanorods. SEM images showed that one-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanorods with high verticality and number density were synthesized on seeded plates whereas randomly oriented arrays were grown on non-seeded surfaces. Increase in the Zn2+ concentration changed the top ends of the rods from tapering to hexagonal ends; and also led to an increase in the average size and verticality of the nanorods. The increase in R value (or i.e., amount of NH3) caused the rods to misalign on the surface and decrease in size. The size of well-aligned nanorods can be adjusted from 50 to 260 nm in diameter and 0.11 to 6 m in length by changing the reaction parameters, implying their large potential to be used in photocatalytic and also in electronic applications.

Published: December 2023

The shift from traditional to digital learning platforms has highlighted the need for more personalized and engaging student experiences. In response, researchers are investigating AI algorithms' ability to predict and improve e-learning student engagement.  Machine Learning (ML) methods like Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, and Deep Learning models can predict student engagement using variables like interaction patterns, learning behavior, and academic performance. These AI algorithms have identified at-risk students, enabling early interventions and personalized learning. By providing adaptive content, personalized feedback, and immersive learning environments, some AI methods have increased student engagement. Despite these advances, data privacy, unstructured data, and transparent and interpretable models remain challenges. The review concludes that AI has great potential to improve e-learning outcomes, but these challenges must be addressed for ethical and effective applications. Future research should develop more robust and interpretable AI models, multidimensional engagement metrics, and more comprehensive studies on AI's ethical implications in education.

Authors: Prajesha T M Et al.
Published: December 2023

In Deep learning neural networks (DNNs) activation functions perform a vital role. In each neuron activation function is responsible for generating output signals from given input signals. Hence, activation function is one of the factors that influence the performance of DNN. A novel activation unit RAU (Reciprocal activation unit) is proposed in this paper. Most of the popular algorithms given more importance to positive signals, but proposed method handles the negative and positive inputs equally. The proposed RAU tested with both multiclassification and binary classification datasets. Iris flower and Wisconsin Breast Cancer datasets are used for the analysis. In Breast cancer dataset RAU provides 99.25% and 97.08% accuracy for classification of train and test sets respectively. In Iris dataset RAU provides 99.05% and 97.78% accuracy for the classification of train and test sets. Analysis of the same datasets are performed with the existing activation functions- Sigmoid, RMAF, Swish, Tanh and ReLU. Results showed that RAU performed better than other activation functions.

One-third of all deaths worldwide yearly are attributable to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In contrast to the 7% of the wealthy who experience premature death, 43% of the poor do. Lifestyle diseases like obesity and diabetes are to blame. The importance of early identification of heart disease was demonstrated, and premature mortality was kept to a minimum. Combining clinical and biochemical data is essential for the early diagnosis of heart illness. Numerous IoT-enabled wearable healthcare applications have been created and released in recent years. Although the ability of wearable devices to share patient health data is expanding, it remains challenging to predict and identify health problems. Security, data storage, and patient monitoring are all part of the system. Artificial intelligence (AI) therapies may one day change the face of cardiology by providing doctors with cutting-edge data analysis and therapeutic decision-making resources. As the volume and complexity of data continue to increase, AI tools like machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) can assist medical professionals in learning more. Suppose we want to provide medical care to the elderly and those with chronic illnesses in the comfort of their own homes. In that case, we must upgrade our communication and information technology systems. The implemented DNN model's accuracy is amazing at 95.34 % and can yield other noteworthy outcomes when used to identify CVDs. We discuss and suggest the most suitable AI-IoT models for early CVD prediction and detection to reduce computational costs and increase time efficiency.
