Does Phonetic Training Benefit Word Learning?
Authors: Ge Yuxin , Correia Susana , Fernandes João Dinis , Hanson Kirsty , Rato Anabela Alves dos Santos , Rebuschat Patrick
Published: January 2024

Recent research has shown that adult learners can rapidly acquire novel words of a foreign language by tracking cross-situational statistics, but learning is substantially reduced when the target words are phonologically similar and contain non-native contrasts. We expand on this research by investigating if perceptual discrimination training on non-native target contrasts facilitates cross-situational learning of new words. In two studies, we trained English-native and Portuguese-native speakers on 24 Portuguese pseudowords via a cross-situational word learning task (CSWL). Before the CSWL task, English-native speakers received either training (on the target Portuguese contrasts) with an AX discrimination task, training with an oddity discrimination task, or no phonetic training. Results confirmed that adults can learn non-native words from cross-situational statistics, and that phonological overlap between words decreases learning. Perceptual training improved the discrimination of target contrasts, but this did not transfer to the learning of words that contain these contrasts.
The Psychological Construction of Pain: Evidence for No Link Between Mental Health Symptoms and Thermal Pain Thresholds
Authors: Böhme Rebecca Astrid , Banellis Leah , Vejlø Melina , Allen Micah , Fardo Francesca
Published: January 2024

Previous studies have suggested an association between pain perception and psychological factorssuch as mood, distress, fatigue, and quality of life. Yet, these factors and their relationship to painsensitivity have typically been investigated in isolation from one another, and with insufficientlypowered sample sizes. To overcome these limitations, we implemented a multivariate latentvariable modeling approach in a sizable sample of adult participants (n = 257), enabling us toexamine the interplay between unique psychological factors and thermal pain sensitivity. Throughexploratory factor analysis of 10 mental health questionnaires, we identified three mental healthfactors related to distress, fatigue and bodily symptoms. Additionally, we established a measure oflaboratory pain sensitivity using principal component analyses of three thermal pain thresholds(i.e., cold, heat and simultaneously cold and heat). Regression models revealed no relationshipsbetween psychological factors and laboratory-based measures of thermal pain in individuals whosemental health ranged from no discernible symptoms to those with subclinical and clinicalmanifestations. Our findings provided evidence supporting the lack of a linear association betweenpsychological factors, either individually or as a collective construct, and thermal pain sensitivity.
GPS navigation assistance improves driving mobility in older drivers

Published: January 2024

Maintaining driving mobility is essential for maintaining independence and wellbeing within older age. However, cognitive decline caused by age-related neurophysiological changes typically causes older drivers to self-regulate their driving and reduce their driving mobility. Electronic navigation assistance technologies, such as Sat-Nav, are increasingly popular amongst older drivers and can potentially alleviate cognitive demands amongst older drivers to enhance driving mobility. Yet despite the growing usage of navigation assistance technologies amongst older drivers, little research has been conducted to establish how and when they are used by older drivers, and it is not known whether they can offset cognitive differences to promote driving mobility. 902 older drivers (mean age: 71.08) were recruited for a prospective cohort study. Participants self-reported their navigation assistance usage as well as their driving mobility (frequency, space), before completing objective cognitive assessments (allocentric and egocentric orientation, recognition and source memory) and a subjective sense of direction questionnaire. We establish profiles of older driver navigation assistance usage, showing that a considerable majority of older drivers use navigation assistance with the majority using it for some journeys, and most commonly for the entire journey to a new destination. We show that navigation assistance usage is associated with worse subjective orientation ability, but not objective cognitive performance, and is positively associated with greater driving mobility. Importantly, we demonstrate that in individuals with poor wayfinding ability, navigation assistance usage is associated with increased driving mobility. Navigation assistance usage is associated with increased driving mobility within healthy older drivers and are depended upon more amongst individuals with less wayfinding confidence. As navigation assistance devices can specifically enhance driving frequency in individuals with worse wayfinding ability, who are more likely to reduce their driving, they should be recommended to older adults and integrated into comprehensive strategies for promoting driving independence in the older adult population.
Scientific Integrity and U.S. “Billion Dollar Disasters”
Authors: Pielke Roger
Published: January 2024

For more than two decades, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has popularized a count of weather-related disasters in the United States that it estimates have exceeded one billion dollars (inflation adjusted) in each calendar year starting in 1980. The dataset is widely cited and applied in research, assessment and invoked to justify policy in federal agencies, Congress and by the U.S. President. This paper performs an evaluation of the dataset under criteria of procedure and substance defined under NOAA’s Information Quality and Scientific Integrity policies. The evaluation finds that the “billion dollar disaster” dataset falls comprehensively short of meeting these criteria. Thus, public claims promoted by NOAA associated with the dataset and its significance are flawed and misleading. Specifically, NOAA incorrectly claims that for some types of extreme weather, the dataset demonstrates detection and attribution of changes on climate timescales. Similarly flawed are NOAA’s claims that increasing annual counts of billion dollar disasters are in part a consequence of human caused climate change. NOAA’s claims to have achieved detection and attribution are not supported by any scientific analysis that it has performed. Given the importance and influence of the dataset in science and policy, NOAA should act quickly to address this scientific integrity shortfall.
Refusing Eighteenth-Century Fictions: Introduction
Authors: Chander Manu Samriti , Zuroski Eugenia
Published: January 2024

In this introductory essay, we take issue with David Hume’s distinction between “fiction” and “belief” by arguing that the relationship between these categories depends as much on existing structures of authority and power as it does on individual judgment or feeling. We then describe the objectives of the two-part ECF special issue “Refusing 18th-Century Fictions”: to provide critical analyses of how particular eighteenth-century fictions attained the status of material realities that continue to condition lived worlds in the twenty-first century, and to prompt ongoing and future efforts to imagine and materialize realities beyond racial capitalism and settler colonialism.
What We Talk about When We Talk about Fanfiction
Authors: Friedman Emily C.
Published: January 2024

Using the popular adoption of “fanfiction” as it applies to eighteenth-century fiction, this essay calls for a closer attention to terminology from the established field of fan studies. By doing so, we may be able to better understand our own period’s relationship to creative output, the commercial print marketplace, and the making of celebrity.
Effectiveness Management of Radiation Protection Program: A Short Review
Authors: Othman Siti Amira
Published: January 2024

An effective radiation protection program requires an effective oversight and feedback mechanism to management. A main objective of the radiation protection program is to decrease radiation doses wherever and whenever reasonably possible, hence lowering the health risk that is thought to be proportionate to the radiation dosage. Justification of operations requiring radiation exposure, as well as the use of minimal radiation exposure simply adequate for diagnostic and interventional procedures, should all be part of a radiation protection policy. National authorities must support the development and implementation of radiological safety and security in organisations that employ radiation sources. Maintaining a high level of competence is critical for the development of future safe ionizing radiation applications. Patients, physicians, and employees across many departments, including radiology, interventional cardiology, and surgery, are concerned about radiation safety. Radiation released during fluoroscopic operations is the source of the highest radiation dosage for healthcare workers. Radiation from diagnostic imaging modalities such as computed tomography, mammography, and nuclear imaging are minimal factors to healthcare personnel's cumulative dose exposures. Radiation exposure, on the other hand, poses a risk to both patients and healthcare professionals. The medical use of ionizing radiation is a huge and growing global activity. While the use of ionizing radiation in medicine provides enormous advantages to the worldwide population, the inherent hazards owing to stochastic and deterministic effects necessitate the need to safeguard patients from potential injury. Current issues in radiation protection of patients include not only the rapidly increasing collective dose to the global population from medical exposure, but also the fact that a significant percentage of diagnostic imaging examinations are unnecessary, and the      cumulative dose to individuals from medical exposure is increasing.
Square dA-integrable solutions of differential systems with measures on the semiaxis
Authors: Mazurenko Viktor , Mazurenko Oles
Published: January 2024

This paper extends the Weyl-Titchmarsh theory to the case of generalized differential systems. It is that proved the characteristic matrix of the resolvent kernel of a differential system with measures belongs to a locus, which is a matrix analog of the Weyl disk. It is established that such matrix disks are nested and converge to the limiting disk or point depending on the limiting behavior of the radii. This limiting set plays an important role in discussing of the number of solutions to such system that are square dA-integrated on the semiaxis.
ON POSITIVE CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS DEFINED IN THE UNIT POLYDISC
Authors: Bandura Andriy , Kurliak Petro
Published: January 2024

In theory of holomorphic functions having bounded L-index in a direction b an auxiliary class of positive continuous functions L is important to describe properties of the holomorphic functions by some inequalities andestimates containing the function L. This class is defined by local behavior of the function L. In the simplest one-dimensional case, the functionshould not vary locally too quickly, i.e. L(r+O(1/L(r))) = O(L(r)) for r = |z| → +∞. The paper is devoted an analog of this function class for the unit polydisc, i.e. for the Cartesian product of the unit discs. There is proved an equivalence of three different approaches to define the class. It is described by the local behavior on the slice z+tb for given z fromthe unit polydisc and for a fixed direction b, where the complex variable t belongs to some disc with radius dependent on b and z. These estimates must be fulfilled uniformly in all z. There is indicated a possible explicitform of functions belonging to the class. The form is given as a product of arbitrary positive continuous function defined in the closed unit polydisc and the minimum of the expressions 1/(1−|z j|) in all variables z j.

Moral and environmental education as an indicator of the quality of education
Authors: Sokolovskaia Svetlana Vladimirovna , Afinogenova Svetlana Vladimirovna
Published: January 2024

The article considers the concept of isomorphism of the quality of the educational process and the quality of its result − the education/upbringing of the Student's personality from the position of ecologization of his consciousness and behavior. The relevance of this approach has been confirmed by many researchers of the scientific school of noospherism. The purpose of the research presented in the article was to establish the relationship between the value-moral-spiritual characteristics of a person and such parameters of her moral and ecological consciousness as: the level of subjectivization of natural objects; the personal orientation of the motivation of the attitude to nature in the aggregate of cognitive, aesthetic, pragmatic-consumer (deficient) and spiritual-moral attitudes. The study was conducted using diagnostic methods of value-moral-spiritual orientations of the individual, subjectivization of the natural object, the dominant orientation of the individual in relation to nature, egocentric associations and correlation analysis (according to Pearson) of the individual results of the study obtained in the diagnosis. The subjects were 75 high school and first-year students. The authors revealed the dominant aesthetic and cognitive attitude of boys and girls to nature, the pragmatic-consumer attitude took the last place, which indicates good prospects for greening the educational process and achieving high quality moral and ecological education of Students in it.
Application of the principle of isomorphism in determining the result of the quality of education and the characteristics of the Teacher's personality
Authors: Ryzhov Vasilii Vasilevich , Sokolovskaia Svetlana Vladimirovna , Sinipalov Aleksandr Vasilevich
Published: January 2024

The article presents the results of a theoretical analysis of literary sources on the problem of human qualimetry and education. The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that at the moment the education system is undergoing serious changes due to the transition to the national system of higher education, which is largely determined by the spiritual and moral attitudes of specific teachers, Teachers, heads of the education system, both at the level of a specific educational organization and at the level of the Russian state. The scientific hypothesis of the theoretical study is the position that the Teacher's pedagogical skills, his professional and personal qualities, educational and educational technologies that he uses are fundamentally isomorphic to the quality of education reflected in the qualities of the Student's personality (education, upbringing). As research methods, the theoretical analysis of more than 100 works by A.I. Subetto and other authors is used from the position of applying the principles of isomorphism of professional and personal qualities of a Teacher in the educational, educational process of a Student. As a result of the theoretical analysis, 7 main positions of the Russian scientific qualimetric school in the field of education and personality are identified.
A Large City as a Precursor to the Development of Alternative School Education
Authors: Petryaeva Elena Yurevna , Istomina Anna Gennadevna
Published: January 2024

A large city 'gives birth' to groups of carriers of certain ideas, values, and attitudes, who seek each other out. Parents choose schools that appear closer to their own values, where the methods of transmitting these values and the forms of classes seem more preferable and coherent. Schools 'attract' those parents whose basic life attitudes align and correlate with the school's mission, values, and strategy. The study aimed to identify factors influencing the development of alternative education in large cities. To achieve this, information was collected and analyzed on 667 private alternative educational projects in the five largest cities of Russia (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan). In each city, five leaders of private alternative educational projects were identified and interviewed in-depth. Interviews and focus groups were also conducted with experts in alternative education. The study revealed that the concentration of maximum professional, infrastructural, economic, cultural, religious, political-ideological, and social diversity in large cities is a precondition for the development of alternative school education. Stimulating factors for the development of alternative education in large cities include overcrowded schools and the quality of education not meeting parents' expectations. The factor of parents plays a significant role: their age, involvement in their children's education, high level of information, etc. The lifestyle of city dwellers is a formative factor. Here, two strategies can be identified: the 'all inclusive' strategy and the strategy of education connoisseurs. At the same time, in a large city, there are also limiting factors for the development of alternative education: a complex transport system and logistical component, expensive rent and/or cost of buildings.

The article presents the author's view on the organization of extracurricular educational work at the university. The authors believe that the main purpose of this type of activity is the personal and professional development of students, which is achieved through the creation of conditions for their active life, civic self-determination, creative development, professional formation and individual personal self-realization. The important role in the systematization and organization of extracurricular educational work of such methodological documents as Educational work schedules and Work programs of education according to educational programs is noted. The article presents a functional model of the organization of educational work on the example of the Volgograd Institute of Management – a branch of the RANEPA. The IDEF0 notation was used to build the model. As a result of the development of the "As is" model, factors were identified that were not previously taken into account, but have an impact on the process of implementing extracurricular educational work.

Published: January 2024

This research is important because table tennis is a sport that requires fine motor coordination and good arm-muscle strength to play effectively. The method used is the correlational method. The research sample consisted of 30 male students at SMP Negeri 3 Kolaka in table tennis extracurricular lessons. Data was collected through arm muscle strength tests using table tennis's push-up test and forehand smash ability tests. Next, the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify the level of arm muscle strength and forehand smash ability and Pearson correlation analysis to evaluate the relationship between the two. The results showed that most students had different levels of arm muscle strength and forehand smashes also varied among the student sample. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive relationship between arm muscle strength and forehand smash ability in table tennis (r = 0.878, p < 0.05). This indicates that the stronger a person's arm muscles, the better his forehand smash ability. The results can reinforce designing more effective training programs to increase arm muscle strength and forehand smash ability in table tennis. Apart from that, this research can also help identify potential talents in the field of table tennis at SMP Negeri 3 Kolaka

This research investigates the impact of text messaging on language proficiency among English major students, particularly in discourse production. It aims to identify factors contributing to language progression or regression in students using text messaging for communication. Objectives include examining the relationship between text messaging frequency and language errors and investigating the effect of text messaging on language development. Adopting an epistemological approach, the study utilizes qualitative data analysis. Limitations involve a small sample size of fifteen English major students and one group chat. Findings reveal that text messages often mimic spoken language, facilitating friendly connections. The language used is understandable and suitable for communication purposes. Text messaging introduces abbreviations, acronyms, and new lexical forms, shaping contemporary communication practices. While some research participants argue that text messaging may hinder language proficiency, others see it as language creativity and adaptation. The influence of text messaging on language evolution remains an ongoing process that needs further research.

The study examined the relationship between morphological knowledge and writing proficiency of Pakistani IELTS test candidates. The sample consisted of 131 (86 males and 45 females) Pakistani IELTS candidates. Two instruments (A test for morphological awareness and Prompt from IELTS writing task 2) were used to collect data. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to examine the correlation between morphological awareness and writing proficiency and the T-test to find the gender difference in both morphological awareness test scores and argumentative essay band scores. Further, the IELTS writing task 2 module was used to score argumentative essay writing. Findings revealed no statistically significant gender difference in argumentative essay writing band scores and a minor but statistically significant gender difference on the morphological awareness test. The results revealed females' superiority over males in morphological awareness. Likewise, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis showed no correlation between morphological understanding and writing proficiency.
