Quantum probabilistic space analysis for enhanced two-wheeler traffic safety: from classical limitations to advanced quantum circuits
Authors: Shriethar Natarajan
Published: December 2024

In the increasing traffic scenario and the presence of automated four-wheeler vehicle-like situations, we need to consider the possible safe driving for the two-wheelers also. As two-wheelers need manual balances, embedding the autopilot systems is a tougher task. To resolve this issue, we attempt to address this problem with probability spaces. Then, these classical probability spaces are promoted into quantum probability spaces. The quantum computing aspects such as quantum gates are embedded in the analysis of the quantum probability space. With those quantum computing protocols, various traffic scenarios are calculated, such as the probability of accidents and the avoidance probability of accidents. A set of mathematical lemmas with certain conditions and their proof for mapping classical to quantum probability space and the singularities in this quantum probability space are also discussed in this work.
Neural networks with iterative parameter generation for determining parameters of constitutive models
Authors: Zhang Yuyi , Zhao Shixiang , Kazarinov Nikita , Petrov Yuri V.
Published: December 2024

Determining the parameters of constitutive models is typically a material-specific process that requires recalibration when the material changes. This procedure becomes notably time-consuming with an increased number of parameters and integral terms in the constitutive equations. Recently, a novel approach utilizing neural networks has emerged as an alternative. By training neural networks to replace constitutive equations, constitutive substitution method maps the extensive parameter space to computational results equivalent to those derived from original equations. Comparing these results with experimental data allows for efficient determination of optimal parameter vectors. The powerful fitting capabilities and rapid computational speed of neural networks significantly expedite the parameter determination process. Consequently, the task of solving for parameters transitions from a complex optimization problem to a straightforward computational search. In this work, we introduce an iterative parameter generation (IPG) algorithm to enhance this substitution method, thereby improving its ability to fit a diverse range of materials. Additionally, we explore the benefits of constructing a general parameter space applicable to various material classes.

Published: December 2024

Braille education is an important tool for people with visual impairments to help them read and write and provide more educational opportunities. Despite the important role of braille in the education and freedom of individuals with visual disabilities, they face many barriers to access and learning, including a lack of trained teachers, inadequate technological resources, and limited integration of braille in mainstream education curricula. The objective of this article is to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on technologies and approaches in braille education. This systematic review involved six articles reviewed in the PRISMA framework, which involved the selection process of articles filtered through four stages such as identification, screening, eligibility, and articles meeting the final criteria (included). Scopus and Web of Science databases from 2014 to 2024 were used in the study and assisted with Mendeley software. As a result, two themes were selected: technology and approaches in braille education. This study suggests future research evaluating the effectiveness of different approaches in different cultural and economic contexts to produce more comprehensive guidance.

Published: December 2024

Braille instruction is a key component in special education for children with visual impairments, but various challenges still arise in the implementation of braille teaching. The main issues include a lack of flexible teaching methods, insufficient comprehensive teacher training, and a lack of technology integration. The goal of this study is to evaluate existing braille teaching methods and develop innovative approaches that can improve braille instruction effectiveness, thereby supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4). The methodology of this study focusses on a comprehensive literature review approach, examining theories of learning and methods for teaching early braille reading skills to individuals with visual impairments. The findings indicate that the combination of learning theories such as Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory, Behaviourism Theory, Constructivism Theory, Nativism Theory, Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, and Bandura's Social Learning Theory forms a solid foundation for designing effective teaching strategies. The early reading teaching method, such as KGBK used in Malaysia, has proven effective in teaching the Malay language. This study suggests adapting KGBK to teach braille by combining the advantages of phonics and whole word methods. We have also evaluated the effectiveness of various braille teaching methods, including the Grade 1 and Grade 2 methods, the Mangold method, the ABKL method, and the dual learning method. In conclusion, this study found that there is no single teaching method suitable for all children. The effectiveness of teaching depends on the teacher's ability to adapt methods according to the individual needs of children and the learning context.

SECOND LANGUAGE WRITING ANXIETY: A COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURED REVIEW
Authors: Md Nor Nor Hidayah , Senom Fatiha
Published: December 2024

Writing in a second language presents numerous challenges for learners, one of the most significant being Second Language Writing Anxiety (SLWA). Notably, SLWA is characterized by feelings of apprehension, fear, and worry that arise when writing in a non-native language. Anxious learners often experience various negative emotions, including heightened apprehension during the writing process and an overwhelming fear of engaging in writing tasks, which hinders their ability to write effectively. Multiple factors, including emotional responses, personality traits, linguistic limitations, past experiences, and gender differences, contribute to the experience of SLWA among learners. Many learners also struggle with SLWA due to inadequate resources, limited practice opportunities, cultural differences, and ineffective task designs. These challenges often result in severe consequences, such as lower academic achievement, procrastination, and diminished writing quality. However, the experiences of SLWA varied for individual learners due to its situational-specific property. To explore this issue, this paper adopts the PRISMA approach to systematically review 29 scholarly articles published between 2023 and 2024. The review identifies diverse underlying factors leading to SLWA. It also reports practical strategies for mitigating SLWA, including psychological methods, pedagogical techniques and technological tools. The findings suggest that understanding learners' contextual needs is necessary to effectively address SLWA and improve their confidence to become proficient writers.

PREFERRED LEARNING APPROACHES AMONG ACCOUNTING STUDENTS: DURING AND AFTER COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected education systems worldwide, leading to the near-total closure of schools, universities, and colleges. Academic institutions have been forced to develop innovative ways to teach students in a hybrid, online, or socially remote environment. During the pandemic, several educational technologies have made it possible to establish highly effective, student-centered learning environments that can reach students remotely and minimise the disturbance of the teaching and learning process. The preferred learning strategies accounting students use at a Malaysian MARA Professional College during and after the COVID-19 pandemic are examined. A total of 180 accounting students completed questionnaires that served as the data source for this study. The finding shows that during the COVID-19 epidemic, students responded that more synchronous learning was their preferred method of instruction. However, with the COVID-19 outbreak, blended learning emerged as the most crucial online learning strategy. The results also show that students ranked synchronous learning as their top choice during the pandemic, whereas the simulation approach was ranked last. Following the epidemic, students report that blended learning has risen to the top and traditional learning has fallen to the bottom. The results offer a deeper comprehension of the possibilities for a learning strategy that works for the students, irrespective of their preferred learning style.

Breast milk (ASI) is the main and best food for babies, because it contains many nutrients that babies need. Breast milk can protect babies from allergies, obesity, digestive tract infections and respiratory tract infections. Apart from that, breast milk can also shape the development of intelligence and emotional development, can increase the body's endurance and can reduce the risk of death in babies. This activity aims to determine the effectiveness of education about exclusive breastfeeding on changes in knowledge of breastfeeding mothers. The method used is quasi-experimental research (quasi-experimental design) using a one group pre-posttest design. Based on the results of the paired t test, the mean in the pre-test group was 64 and in the post-test group was 85 with a mean differential between the two groups of 15.1. The p value is 0.00, so the p value is <0.05, so we get the difference in the average (mean) before and after the counseling about exclusive breastfeeding is given, so it can be interpreted that there is an influence of providing counseling about exclusive breastfeeding on the knowledge of breastfeeding mothers in the work area.

Authors: Vidgedor Divine , Akrofi Moses , Bruce-Amartey Jnr. Eric , Howard Ebenezer Kofi
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The study aims to enhance weaving efficiency by integrating the shedding mechanism from a countershaft loom into the traditional two-heddle loom. This approach seeks to maintain simplicity and affordability while improving functionality.
Methodology/Design: A mixed-methods approach was employed. The research involved direct observation of traditional weaving practices to identify operational challenges. Interviews with local weavers and textile experts ensured cultural relevance in the design process. Studio experiments were conducted to develop and test three conceptual designs: Modular Integration, Hybrid Frame Integration, and Adaptable Shedding Mechanism. Each design was evaluated based on functionality, compatibility with existing looms, and impact on weaving efficiency.
Findings: The Modular Integration approach emerged as the most viable solution in the study's final analysis. While the Hybrid Frame Integration initially demonstrated notable improvements in weaving efficiency and design complexity, Modular Integration ultimately proved more adaptable and compatible with the structural and cultural context of traditional two-heddle looms. Modular Integration enabled the production of complex weave patterns, enhanced fabric quality, and increased productivity while preserving the loom's affordability and simplicity.
Practical and Social Implications: The study’s outcomes offer practical solutions for rural weavers by expanding their capabilities to meet contemporary market demands. This innovation fosters economic empowerment, opens access to wider markets, and supports the preservation of traditional weaving heritage. Additionally, the modular design promotes sustainable weaving practices through the use of locally sourced, eco-friendly materials.
Originality: This study provides a novel framework for integrating advanced weaving mechanisms into traditional looms. By prioritizing cultural relevance and simplicity, the Modular Integration approach ensures that traditional weavers can adopt modern techniques without compromising heritage. The study contributes to bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary demands, offering a sustainable pathway to enhanced weaving efficiency and market competitiveness.

Authors: Zweiffel Łukasz
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie sytuacji klasy pracującej w Niderlandach w XIX wieku, pierwszych form zorganizowanej działalności robotniczej i socjalistycznej oraz rozwoju ruchu robotniczego z uwzględnieniem specyfiki holenderskiej, jaką były konfesjonalne związki zawodowe, oraz ruchu socjalistycznego w drugiej połowie XIX wieku w tym kraju.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Postawiono hipotezę, że w przypadku Holandii kluczowe znaczenie dla kształtowania się ruchu robotniczego i zasadniczą barierą dla ruchu socjalistycznego były formujące się w XIX wieku filary społeczne, charakterystyczne dla tego kraju, oraz wpływ religii na zachowania polityczne. Zastosowane w badaniu metody to desk research oraz metoda analizy źródeł pisanych.
PROCES WYWODU: W pierwszej części przedstawiono sytuację społeczno-ekonomiczną w Holandii w pierwszej połowie XIX wieku. W drugiej przeanalizowano wpływ unikatowych już w tamtych czasach, przedkapitalistycznych form gospodarki charakterystycznych w tym czasie dla tego kraju, i wpływu na poziom stopy życiowej społeczeństwa. W części trzeciej przedstawiono znaczenie, jakie miały w społeczeństwie holenderskim zarysowujące się już w tym czasie podziały ideologiczne (filaryzacja).
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala stwierdzić, że przynależność robotników do filarów społecznych, czyli do grupy o wybranych zapatrywaniach religijnych i światopoglądowych, była istotniejsza od istniejących podziałów ekonomicznych czy, stosując terminologię marksistowską, podziałów klasowych. Miała ona znaczący wpływ na kształtowanie się ruchu robotniczego i socjalistycznego w Holandii.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Problematyka jest niezwykle ważna, pomimo osadzenia w realiach XIX-wiecznych pokazuje znaczenie podziałów ideologicznych, a szczególnie konfesjonalnych, i ich wpływu na ruch związkowy, kwestię ochrony praw pracowniczych.

Koniec niemieckiego mocarstwa cywilnego? Zeitenwende w perspektywie konstruktywistycznej
Authors: Matuszek Krzysztof C.
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: W artykule niniejszym stawiam pytanie, czy ogłoszenie przez kanclerza Scholza „zmiany epokowej” (Zeitenwende) trzy dni po pełnoskalowej napaści Rosji na Ukrainę zainicjowało faktycznie zasadniczą zmianę niemieckiej polityki zagranicznej i bezpieczeństwa, modyfikując w konsekwencji obraz własny Niemiec jako mocarstwa cywilnego.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Artykuł proponuje konstruktywistyczne spojrzenie na hasło Zeitenwende, jego znaczenie i konsekwencje. Konstruktywizm w nauce o stosunkach międzynarodowych skupia się na badaniu języka i komunikacji. Przedmiotem analiz są strategie, doktryny, przemówienia polityków itp. Na tej podstawie rekonstruuje się, jak poszczególni uczestnicy stosunków międzynarodowych postrzegają (konstruują) rzeczywistość.
PROCES WYWODU: Rozpoczynam od przedstawienia tożsamości niemieckiej w kontekście prowadzenia polityki zagranicznej jako Zivilmacht-Handelsstaat (mocarstwo cywilizujące – państwo kupieckie). Następnie przyglądam się temu, co kryje się pod hasłem „zmiany epokowej”. W ostatnim kroku analizuję niemieckie strategie i wytyczne, opublikowane po ogłoszeniu Zeitenwende.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Gdy chodzi o główne założenia i cele polityki zagranicznej, w badanych dokumentach stawia się raczej na kontynuację polityki Zivilmacht-Handelsstaat. Nowy obraz własny „demokracji zdolnej do obrony” pozostaje jak dotąd pewnym projektem tożsamościowym. Niemcy wciąż postrzegają siebie jako mocarstwo cywilizujące.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Wypromowanie hasła „(globalnej) zmiany epokowej” należy uznać za – momentami niekonsekwentną i wybiórczą – próbę narzucenia i kontrolowania nowego dyskursu w stosunkach międzynarodowych.

Published: December 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine and describe practical activities developed through participant observation of both able-bodied and disabled youth involved in collaborative educational projects.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem is articulated as follows: What elements of youth collaboration should be integrated into educational activities? Specifically, the study explores who constitutes the group, the objectives of the meetings, the substantive content of the activities, the locations where these activities occur, and the methods employed. These activities stem from an ongoing partnership between Special Education School Complex No. 3 in Krakow and the Institute of Geography and Spatial Management at Jagiellonian University, which has been in place since 2016. Methods used in the study include participant observation, surveys, interviews, and reflective analysis.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The study outlines its objectives and proposes practical solutions through a structured argument. It begins with an introduction to the issue, followed by a description of collaboration and inclusive education, a detailed explanation of symmetrical inclusion, and an examination of practical applications such as creating inclusive urban spaces, organizing forest expeditions, and designing geographical pop-up books. The study also provides guidelines for effective collaboration based on these experiences.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The research presents examples of practical activities and collaborative efforts within the framework of symmetrical inclusion, involving both university students and intellectually disabled youth. These activities offer valuable insights and can serve as models for use in various educational contexts.
 CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH: Leveraging diverse learning styles and individual differences within youth groups not only enriches the educational experience but also supports the development of essential social and emotional competencies. The study highlights the importance of focusing on clear objectives and hands-on, multisensory activities to nurture partnerships, stimulate creativity, and seek solutions in relationship-building.

Published: December 2024

Research objectives and problem: Preparing to become a preschool and early childhood education teacher requires five years of academic training and many years of self-education. Success in the profession is not only ensured by strong academic performance and achievement of educational goals, but also by the development of emotional and social competencies, which are closely tied to professional competence. The goal of the study was to identify the relationships between emotional intelligence, social competence, and the self-assessment of professional competence among future preschool and early childhood education teachers.
Research methods: The study utilized the Popular Questionnaire of Emotional Intelligence (PKIE) by Jaworowska, Matczak, Ciechanowicz, Stańczak, and Zalewska, the PROKOS questionnaire by Matczak and Martowska, and an in-house modified version of the Self-Assessment of Teacher Competence survey. Fifty-seven women aged 23 to 48 (mean age: 28) participated in the study.
Research findings and their impact on the development of educational sciences: The findings confirmed a significant relationship between the studied variables. Higher levels of emotional intelligence and social competence correlated with higher self-assessments of professional competence.
Conclusions and recommendations: Emotional and social competencies are strongly associated with readiness for the teaching profession in preschool and early childhood education. These results point out the need for incorporating courses on emotional and social competencies into academic training programs for pedagogical faculties.

Published: December 2024

Research Objectives and Problems: The focus of this research is the virtual learning environment, which is a priority in developing new learning strategies. The aim is to analyze the process to describe policies related to changes in learning environments. The research objectives include examining theoretical approaches to modeling virtual learning environments and highlighting the signs of change in virtual teaching/learning environments from various perspectives. The research focuses on how virtual teaching and learning environment modeling is contextualized within the evolving Lithuanian education policy. This study explores questions regarding the perception of changes in learning environments and the key trends shaping virtual learning within the framework of new education policies.
Research Methods: This study employs a combination of literature analysis and semi-structured focus group interviews to gather insights from teachers, education experts, and policymakers. The findings offer a deeper understanding of the virtual teaching and learning environment modeling process and its implications for educational policy and practice.
Structure of the Article: The paper is structured into five main sections: an introduction, a literature review, a methodology description, an analysis of the main findings, and a discussion and conclusions section. A list of references is provided at the end.
Research Findings and Their Impact on Educational Sciences: This research explores the modeling of virtual teaching and learning environments and its implementation within educational contexts. As schools navigate a rapidly evolving world, understanding and shaping virtual learning environments is crucial. The study aims to analyze the process of modeling virtual teaching and learning environments, particularly in terms of the inclusive and operationalizing context of open learning spaces, content elements, and learning styles. Through a reflexive approach, the paper investigates how modern schools are transitioning toward more organized teaching and learning services and identifies new directions in skill development, knowledge acquisition, learner networking, and value creation. The virtual teaching and learning environment is presented as a central vision for learner-centered education, promoting personalized learning, diverse learning styles, and trust-based learning cultures.
Conclusions and Recommendations:  Lifelong learning emerged as a central theme across all concept maps. This cluster was not only deemed pivotal for the future of learning but also served as a unifying element for other clusters. According to experts, the anticipated shifts in learning strategies and approaches are closely tied to the notion that skills and competencies will increasingly be acquired through lifelong learning.
Conductor and Cobbler: Leadership Lessons From Large-Scale Research Partnership Facilitation
Authors: Lam Michelle
Published: December 2024

“I was a nurse, and now I’m an academic. Why would they think I know how to manage a website!?” (Colleague, personal communication). Many scholars make the transition from managing their own doctoral research project to larger-scale research involving funders, industry partners, community-based partners, or others. Although often well-prepared for research and theorizing, the leadership work of facilitation, project management, budget management, and other logistical and human aspects can be daunting and unfamiliar. This autoethnographic study examines my own experiences of making this transition, using personal notes and journal entries as data for analysis. By analyzing them through a concept of belonging (Pfaff-Czarnecka, 2011), I consider the lessons learned through a large-scale research project: a community-based project involving the creation of a connected network of rural research hubs, and how these lessons impacted my identity as a scholar and director of a research centre. I also share the process of how autoethnography can be enacted in such a role. The findings have been categorized into two metaphors: Conducting an orchestra without any music, and fitting shoes for diverse feet. These lessons offer ways of understanding the struggles and successes of learning to lead large-scale research projects while honouring the diversity of lived experiences and particularities of context, recognizing the need for all to belong within these complexities.
La digitalización de la industria de la explotación sexual: Un estudio exploratorio sobre el fenómeno del sugardating en España
Authors: García Rodríguez Andrea
Published: December 2024

España, a pesar de ser uno de los países líderes en igualdad de género en Europa, presenta un aumento de las (ciber)violencias de género y sexuales con especial hincapié en las violaciones. Es el primer país de Europa con mayor acceso a la prostitución, el principal destino del turismo sexual y el segundo en consumo y demanda de pornografía. Esta realidad con la digitalización se ha amplificado, principalmente las violencias facilitadas a través de las plataformas donde se desarrollan fenómenos como el “sugardating”, que romantiza e invisibiliza la tríada pornografía, prostitución y trata de mujeres. Esta investigación exploratoria analiza el fenómeno del sugardating en el estado español y las plataformas específicas donde se desarrolla a través del análisis etnográfico digital. Los resultados muestran un impacto significativo en mujeres jóvenes y hombres adultos, indicando que la digitalización está favoreciendo el crecimiento y extensión de la industria de la explotación sexual y del denominado “patriarcado digital”. Estas plataformas como “SugarDaddyEspaña”, han permitido el traslado masivo de la industria de la explotación sexual al ámbito digital, apareciendo una oferta organizada de anuncios de prostitución y pornografía y una accesibilidad sin precedentes con el formato 24/7. Esta investigación y artículo surge para profundizar en esta mutación que requiere del análisis y de la identificación de las nuevas formas, lugares, fines, modos de acceso, causas de cómo, cuando, dónde y por qué, que están permitiendo y situando a estas plataformas, como los nuevos contextos prostitucionales y escenarios idóneos para la captación de mujeres con fines de explotación sexual.
