The problem and the aim of the study. Modernization of higher education opens up new prospects for the use of electronic resources in ensuring the quality of foreign language education. The use of interactive tools (simulators, flash cards, virtual boards) meets the requirements for training programs of physical education teachers and the challenges of the international sports movement. The purpose of the work is to study the possibilities of using digital flash cards in training future physical education teachers to develop their foreign language communicative competence. Research methods. The study involved 54 first- and second-year students of Vyatka State University (Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology) (Russian Federation). Training program: 44.03.01 Pedagogical education, Physical education and sports (bachelor's degree level). The Quizlet online platform was used to work with digital flash cards. The test contains questions grouped into the blocks “Digital educational technologies” and “Foreign language in communication (physical education and sports)”. For statistical processing of data, the Pearson's chi-squared test was used. Results. The system of working with flash cards in foreign language professional communication of physical education teachers is described: studying the functionality, working with ready-made sets of cards, automating and improving lexical units, developing thematic sets.

Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis and characterization of the investor’s relations with the company executive body from the financial security point of view. Interdisciplinary approaches, general and special scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, description, comparison, theoretical generalization, dialectical and system-structural methods) are applied to highlight risks in relations between the investor and the sole executive body, the collective executive body and the legal entity, which performs functions of the executive body. It is suggested to use the following criteria to estimate the financial security of relations between the investor and the executive body: 1) qualifications and personal qualities of the executive body (including the level of trust, the integrity and decency of the executive body members); 2) scope of responsibility of the executive body (including the possibility of bringing the executive body to legal responsibility); 3) features of termination or change of relations with the executive body; 4) financial costs for the maintenance and motivation of the executive body. The originality of this article lies in the comprehensive and versatile approach to the research with applications of scientific analysis tools that are widely used not only by economists and financiers but also by lawyers and psychologists. Based on the conducted research it is proposed to determine the financial security of the investor in relations with the executive body of the company as such a level of trusted, reasonable, and optimally financially costly business relationships, in which, due to the qualification and personal skills of members of the executive body, high financial indicators and maximum success of the business are achieved under the current economic conditions, the interests of the company and shareholders are satisfied and the probability of having to bring executive body members to responsibility or terminate cooperation with them remains low. The conceptual provisions of the study and the analysis can be used as a basis for practical recommendations to increase the level of financial security in relationships between the investor and the executive body of the company. The key characteristics and institutional factors of the relationship between the investor and the company executive body in the Ukraine legal field are highlighted.

METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING THE LOADING AND UPDATING OF WEB PAGES USING CLOUD TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: LYTVYNOV Oleksandr , HRUZIN Dmytro
Published: March 2024

An essential component of modern systems built on cloud technologies, which determines the performance and efficiency of system operation, is caching methods and technologies. For systems that provide static information to end-users, technologies such as SSG (Static Site Generation) and SSR (Server-side Rendering) are applied in building the client side. SSG is typically used for pages with a very low frequency of content changes, as modifying the content on one page requires rebuilding the entire site. To cache SSR application pages, the use of a cache proxy server is recommended. An example of implementing such an approach is Next.js Serverless. However, because the Next.js Serverless technology employs a weak caching model, delivering up-to-date data to end users often takes a significant amount of time, which can negatively impact user interaction. This work is dedicated to addressing this problem. The paper proposes a flexible and efficient solution for generating and caching static pages using a cache proxy server and invalidation for data updates by the cache proxy server upon each change in the system's state. The integration of this solution into complex information systems is explored, and a performance comparison and evaluation of data delivery to end-users are conducted. The results of the conducted experiment demonstrate that the proposed approach solves the identified problem without compromising the performance compared to the Next.js Serverless approach.

A comprehensive approach to Bitcoin forecasting using neural networks
Authors: Šestanović Tea
Published: March 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive approach to Bitcoin price, returns, direction and volatility forecasting. It compares ARIMA and GARCH models to neural network (NN) autoregression and Jordan NN in their forecasting performances, using internal and external factors. Robustness of the results is verified across bearish, bullish and stable market conditions. The results are not unambiguous considering price, returns or volatility forecasting, when compared using different performance measures or through different periods. Return and volatility forecasting yields to stable results no matter the model or period observed. NNs in general emerge as optimal for return and direction forecasting, ARIMAX and NNARX for price forecasting, while for volatility forecasting all models yield comparable results. Price forecasting yields the best prediction accuracies, while JNNX performed poorly. However, the inclusion of other machine learning methods and/or different variables as well as recent crisis emerged from war circumstances can be seen as limiting factors.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gerakan sosial masyarakat dalam menolak eksploitasi sumber daya alam di Desa Naiola serta respon dari masyarakat dan pemerintah Desa terkait aktifitas eksploitasi sumber daya alam tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa di Desa Naiola terjadi eksploitasi SDA yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan-perusahaan tambang yang berlangsung begitu lama sejak tahun  2014 sampai sekarang sehingga masyarakat merasa dirugikan dengan rusaknya material area persawahan sebanyak 107,56 HA yang menimbulkan sumber pendapatan sebagian besar masyarakat Desa Naiola menurun. Pemerintah Desa bersama masyarakat membahas rencana serta solusi yang akan digunakan untuk melakukan penolakan secara langsung kepada para pengusaha tambang agar berhenti melakukan eksploitasi SDA di kali Noemuti. Adanya aksi gerakan penolakan eksploitasi SDA oleh masyarakat desa Naiola dilakukan secara spontan karena tidak adanya formalisasi ataupun suatu lembaga yang jelas yang mengarahkan masyarakat untuk melakukan aksi penolakan eksploitasi tersebut. Kurangnya perhatian dari pemerintah Desa terhadap pemilik tambang terkait surat ijin yang jelas sehingga perusahaan tambang melakukan eksploitasi SDA secara berlebihan dan menimbulkan dampak bagi masyarakat Desa Naiola. Hal tersebutlah yang menjadi dasar pijak penolakan dan tuntutan kepada perusahaan tambang agar memperhatikan Alisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan Hidup.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still an important health problem in Asia. Not only in Indonesia, in developed countries such as Japan and Singapore, DHF cases still catch the attention of the health authorities in each country. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Indonesia is still a public health problem and is an endemic disease in almost all provinces. In the last 5 years, the number of cases and affected areas has continued to increase and spread widely. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus which is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This disease attacks everyone and can cause death, especially in children, and often causes extraordinary events or epidemics throughout Indonesia. The partner problem found was the lack of knowledge of the patient's family regarding how to prevent Dengue Fever. The solution offered is in the form of health education on how to prevent dengue fever (DHF). The results of the implementation of the activities that have been carried out show that family knowledge has changed from not knowing to knowing where out of 12 families of patients who were given health education, there were 9 (75.0%) knowledgeable people and 3.0 (25%) parents who were knowledgeable. not enough. This is because 3 out of 12 of these people are elderly and do not really understand the Indonesian language used when the health counseling is being carried out, but most of the counseling participants understand and are enthusiastic about participating in the counseling until it is finished.

“Disrespect des Fonds”
Authors: Kuhn Elisa
Published: March 2024

The Trinity College Archives has recently accessioned papers from one of its notable alumni, Michael Ignatieff. His international career as a writer, professor, and politician means that his papers exist in multiple archives around the world and will likely never be reunited. In the face of this reality, this paper proposes that Ignatieff’s materials at the Trinity College Archives should not be organized into a fonds. New interpretations of fonds, provenance, and original order justify the creation of two distinct collections: one for Ignatieff’s professional materials, and one for his personal papers. A system of metadata tags should be used to identify the relationships between items in these two collections and would allow the Archives to integrate the materials with othersin their collection.
An Unbroken Red Line
Authors: Bourré August
Published: March 2024

This paper examines the history of data-driven housing discrimination in the United States, beginning with the practice of “redlining” in the 1930s and closing by examining several current “smart city” practices for algorithmic housing allocation. “Redlining” never truly ended as a practice; rather, it shifted forms as housing allocation became increasingly privatized in the late 20th century. Spatial racism has always been data-driven in the United States, but contemporary algorithmic sorting tools increasingly allow landlords and mortgage lenders to easily advance claims of fairness and neutrality while reproducing discriminatory outcomes. Such tools and outcomes reinforce decades of systemic racism in the United States’ housing market, particularly anti-Black racism.
Conversational Breakdown Detector for a Motivational Interviewing Conversational Agent
Authors: Qin Zhen (Luther)
Published: March 2024

A conversational breakdown in human-chatbot interaction refers to a disruption or failure in the communicative flow between the human user and the chatbot. To recover a disrupted conversation, the first step is to detect the breakdown. Researchers have proposed methods using supervised learning and semi-supervised learning in dialogue systems to achieve the goal of detecting conversational breakdown. However, few studies have focused on detecting breakdowns in automated therapeutic conversations, especially conversations led by motivational interviewing chatbots. The presence of conversational breakdowns has negative impacts on the human-chatbot interaction, such as frustration, dissatisfaction, or loss of trust. This gap suggests a need to build a robust and efficient conversational breakdown detector that recognizes interruptions during the conversation. Conversational breakdown detection paves the way for further action to recover conversations. In this paper, I develop a novel, unifying framework called “CIMIC” for characterizing the conversational breakdowns of “MIBot,” a motivational interviewing conversational agent for smoking cessation. I collect 200 pieces of conversational data through Prolific and annotate them using the CIMIC framework with a group of four trained annotators. The annotated dataset is then applied as the training set to fine-tune GPT-3 models to build a conversational breakdown detector for the MIBot.

THE EFFECTS OF STUDENTS’ STANDPOINTS IN ARGUMENTATION REGARDING SOCIO-SCIENTIFIC ISSUES
Authors: Lin Yu-Ren , Wei Tzu-Ting
Published: March 2024

This study examined the effects of students’ argumentation standpoints on their argumentation learning in the context of socio-scientific issues (SSIs). To that end, four kinds of argumentation standpoints were defined: affirmative standpoints, oppositional standpoints, multiple standpoints, and non-standpoints. These four kinds of standpoints allow for six possible combinations of any two of the different kinds of standpoints, which enabled us to conduct six kinds of 2-team format debates. The resulting differences of students’ four types of arguments (i.e., claims, warrants, rebuttals, and qualifiers) generated in six types of debates were examined. This study invited 208 10th-grade students to participate in a quasi-experimental research design. The results showed the affirmative group students demonstrated superior performance in terms of claims and warrants, and the oppositional group students had the largest number of rebuttals. The students in the debate with combinations of affirmative and oppositional groups exhibited the best performance regarding the generation of claims, warrants, and rebuttals. Based on the results, the present study concluded the standpoint had significant effects on the students’ argumentation learning, which suggests that teachers can investigate students’ standpoint on the learning topic of SSI and their prior knowledge about the standpoint before teaching.

A META-ANALYTIC EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECT OF INDIVIDUAL AND SCHOOL-AVERAGE ACHIEVEMENT ON STUDENTS' SELF-CONCEPT IN SCIENCE
Authors: Kahraman Nurcan
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of individual and school average achievement on students’ self-concept in science. The data of the last four Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) cycles were used, and a two-stage individual data meta-analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between achievement and self-concept in science. In the first stage, multilevel structural equation modeling was performed for each dataset. Furthermore, the effect sizes were synthesized via meta-analysis with a three-level random-effect model. In addition, moderation analysis was conducted for the year, grade, and degree of stratification in countries. The results suggested a positive and significant effect of individual science achievement on the self-concept of students in science. On the other hand, the relation of the average school achievement was negative. The results were discussed by considering the big-fish-little-pond effect.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), one of the key enzymes of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), plays an important role in SARS-CoV-2 infection by functioning as a virus receptor. Angiotensin peptides Ang I and Ang II, the substrates of ACE2, can modulate the binding of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein to the ACE2 receptor. In the present work, we found that co incubation of HEK-ACE2 and Vero E6 cells with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike pseudovirus (PVP) resulted in stimulation of the virus entry at low and high micromolar concentrations of Ang I and Ang II, respectively. The potency of Ang I and Ang II stimulation of virus entry corresponds to their binding affinity to ACE2 catalytic pocket with 10 times higher efficiency of Ang II. The Ang II induced mild increase of PVP infectivity at 20 µM; while at 100 µM the increase (129.74±3.99 %) was highly significant (p<0.001). Since the angiotensin peptides act in HEK ACE2 cells without the involvement of angiotensin type I receptors, we hypothesize that there is a steric interaction between the catalytic pocket of the ACE2 enzyme and the SARS-CoV-2 S1 binding domain. Oversaturation of the ACE2 with their angiotensin substrate might result in increased binding and entry of the SARS-CoV-2. In addition, the analysis of angiotensin peptides metabolism showed decreased ACE2 and increased ACE activity upon SARS-CoV-2 action. These effects should be taken into consideration in COVID-19 patients suffering from comorbidities such as the over-activated renin-angiotensin system as a mechanism potentially influencing the SARS-CoV-2 invasion into recipient cells.

No information is available about sex-related differences in unloading-induced cardiac atrophy. We aimed to compare the course of unloading-induced cardiac atrophy in intact (without gonadectomy) male and female rats, and in animals after gonadectomy, to obtain insight into the influence of sex hormones on this process. Heterotopic heart transplantation (HTx) was used as a model for heart unloading. Cardiac atrophy was assessed as the weight ratio of heterotopically transplanted heart weight (HW) to the native HW on days 7 and 14 after HTx in intact male and female rats. In separate experimental groups, gonadectomy was performed in male and female recipient animals 28 days before HTx and the course of cardiac atrophy was again evaluated on days 7 and 14 after HTx. In intact male rats, HTx resulted in significantly greater decreases in whole HW when compared to intact female rats. The dynamics of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) atrophy after HTx was quite similar to that of whole hearts. Gonadectomy did not have any significant effect on the decreases in whole HW, LV, and RV weights, with similar results in male and female rats. Our results show that the development of unloading-induced cardiac atrophy is substantially reduced in female rats when compared to male rats. Since gonadectomy did not alter the course of cardiac atrophy after HTx, similarly in both male and female rats, we conclude that sex-linked differences in the development of unloading-induced cardiac atrophy are not caused by the activity of sex hormones.
Problematising Hierarchy and Dualism for Ecological Concern: Johnsen’s Decolonial Methodology in Defence of Non-Hierarchical Worldmaking
Authors: Lewis David
Published: March 2024

The climate crisis presents an urgent problem for World Christianity. Since Lynn White, Jr., argued that ‘Christianity is the most anthropocentric religion the world has seen’ (White 1967), theologians have debated to what extent Christianity is responsible for ecological crisis. In this article, I will focus on two related problems for Christian thought that Majority World theologians have highlighted – hierarchy and dualism – in order to postulate what a non-hierarchical Christian worldview might entail, drawing on the work of Sámi Norwegian Lutheran theologian Tore Johnsen, primarily his recently published book Sámi Nature-Centered Christianity in the European Arctic (2022).

This article utilises a multidisciplinary, World Christianity approach to theology that draws upon Johnsen’s work to examine the two themes of hierarchy and dualism, critically questioning these concepts and examining theological implications for the climate crisis. Johnsen’s research amongst the Sámi demonstrates their expression of ‘nature-centred’ Christianity that exhibits a non-hierarchical cosmology. He contrasts this with Western Christian expressions, in particular that of the Church of Norway. Johnsen’s decolonial approach questions aspects of the Western worldview critically and helpfully with reference to the climate crisis.

This article therefore problematises two related concepts of hierarchy and dualism, notions which have become embedded within Christian tradition. In questioning these underlying concepts, it draws upon Johnsen’s work to consider whether and to what extent a non-hierarchical expression of Christianity might serve as a viable alternative.

Military сonflict on the territory of Ukraine since 2014 has caused and continues to exert a detrimental impact on soil resources. The research results present the changes in ecotoxicological parameters of chernozem soil that underwent degradation due to military actions in Bucha district of Kyiv region in February–March 2022 during the Russian invasion. The use of artillery weapons, including mortars, in the territory of Torf'iane village revealed damage to the soil cover on agricultural and forest lands. Soil degradation resulting from mortar shelling was confirmed by an increase in the content of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb) in the soil layer of 0–20 cm one year after artillery shelling. At a distance of 2.5 m from the edge of the craters (Nо 1 and No 2), there was an increase in the gross content of Zn, Ni, Cr by 1.1–1.2 times, Pb by 1.1–1.6 times, and Cu by 1.5–1.8 times. The increase in Cd content by 1.1–1.2 times at a distance of 2.5 m was observed only within crater No 2. At a distance of 30 m from the craters, a high gross content of zinc (151–155 mg/kg), lead (43–44), chromium (39–41), nickel (24–28), copper (17–18), and cadmium (2–3 mg/kg) was found. Exceedances of the content of mobile forms of heavy metals directly in the crater and within a distance of up to 30 m were detected on average by 3–9 times. The highest concentration coefficient values for heavy metals in the soil were found to be, on average, zinc — 6–14 times higher than the background, chromium — 7–9 times, and lead — 4–8 times. Exceedances of the maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) in the soil around the craters were recorded for chromium by 7–26% and nickel by 15–21%. Slight exceedance of the MAC for lead in the soil was observed by 3–6%. No exceedance of the MAC for copper (0.1–0.3 MAC), zinc (0.2–0.4 MAC), cadmium (0.4–0.6 MAC), and lead (0.5–1 MAC) content in the soil was observed one year after the shelling of these territories.
