Phase Transitions in Ising Model Defined on Complex Networks
Authors:   ITMO University, Russia, Nikitina M. , Bazhenov A. ,   ITMO University, Russia
Published: April 2023

In this work, we consider an Ising model which allows spin-spin interaction in the systems. We assume that two-level quantum systems are randomly located in N nodes of a complex annealed scale-free network described by the Barabasi-Albert model. It is defined by the power-law degree distribution of nodes. We consider the mean-field approach to the system described by the Ising Hamiltonian. At a certain level, the system is totally characterized by the order parameter Sz. It contains a critical inverse temperature β, which depends on parameter ζ2 as the ratio of the second to the first moment of the degree distribution. We have found that for ζ2, that exceeds its critical value ζ2,c, high temperature phase transition occurs that can be explained by the hubs and clusters which appear in scale-free networks.

Authors: ULUTAŞ Tolga , AVCI Osman , AKAR Engin Can , KÖKSAL Barış , KALKAN Yılmaz
Published: April 2023

In this paper, an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) which can carry and communicate with an Unmanned Ground
Vehicle (UGV - Rover) is designed and realized. In this context, one UAV and one Rover are designed separately. The Rover is designed much smaller than the UAV as it is carried by the UAV and it can make its own movement after leaving the UAV near the area where it will be operated. At this stage, the carrier UAV acts as a communication relay, providing communication between the central control station and the Rover. Using nRF24L01 transceiver modules on each of the central control station, carrier UAV and the Rover, communication between them is achieved via programming as being master or slave. The relay communication system is designed on Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocolof nRF24L01 transceiver modules. The Rover is also equipped with a camera on it to record videos and to take pictures. Both the UAV and the Rover were designed especially in order to reduce the energy consumption of them. Hence the Rover is designed as small in size and light as possible. By taking into account the equipment, batteries and motors that the vehicles will carry, the best design has been tried to be implemented in order to increase
their ranges and reduce energy consumptions. It is possible to use it in the defence industry for military purposes, in places where bomb detection or long-range access is difficult with a single UAV, where land access is required.
Classification Of Hand Images by Person, Age and Gender with The Median Robust Extended Local Binary Model
Authors: AYDEMİR Emrah , ESFANDIYAR ALALAWI Raghad Tohmas
Published: April 2023

Biometric technologies try to automatically recognize individuals by considering the physiological and behavioral characteristics of individuals. Although the methods used here are very diverse, the personal qualities used also vary. Facial features, finger and vein prints, iris, retina, ear, hand, and finger recognition are only some of the physiological features. It may be preferred to use one or more of these personal features to reduce the margin of error that may arise depending on the security level in the applications used. Biometric recognition systems have varying requirements in security systems applications. Fingerprint and iris recognition work well in applications that require high security levels, while applications that require low security levels are not suitable due to privacy concerns. On the other hand, identification from hand images is more accepted based on the idea that it does not have a very high distinctiveness. But it is sufficient for medium security applications. Apart from these, palm images have many advantages such as reliability, stability, user-friendliness, non-intrusiveness, and flexible use. In this study, it is aimed to identify people, determine their ages, and determine their gender by using both upper surface and inner surface images of right-left hand data of hand shape. For this purpose, images of both the inner surface of the hand (10) and the outer surface of the hand (10) of 100 different people were collected. This was done separately for the right and left hands, and a total of 3955 images were obtained. The features of these images were extracted using the Median Robust Extended Local Binary Model (MRELBP). Images are classified for person, age and gender. The results were 91.4%, 85.9% and 92.6%, respectively.

Empirical models for estimating Fourier-amplitude spectra of ground acceleration in the northern Caucasus (Racha seismogenic zone)
Authors: Sokolov Vladimir Yu
Published: April 2023

A collection of ground-motion recordings of small to moderate (MS ≦ 6.2) earthquakes has been obtained in the epicentral area of the Racha earthquake, 29 April 1991 (MS = 7.1), which occurred in the southern slope of the Big Caucasus Range (Northen Georgia). This zone has not shown a high level of seismic activity in historical times. The horizontal components of 68 strong-motion accelerograms were used to study source spectra scaling and ground-motion attenuation in this region.

The acceleration spectra of shear waves recorded at rock sites from small events (MS ≦ 4.0 to 4.5) can be modeled accurately by the Brune source model using a stress parameter of 150 bar and cutoff frequency fmax = 6 to 8 Hz. The empirical function developed for eastern North America by Atkinson (1993b) gives a better fit to empirical data observed during larger events. The use of a trilinear form proposed by Atkinson and Boore (1995) for the attenuation curve with Q = 29.4[1 + (f/0.3)2.9/(f/0.3)2] is necessary to simulate spectra at long (R > 70 km) distances. Stochastic simulation of ground motions (peak ground acceleration and response spectra) using obtained models of source spectra and attenuation shows good agreement with observed data.

The comparison of modeled bedrock spectra and observed ones allowed us to estimate the local site response in terms of frequency-dependent amplification functions. The parameters of the amplification functions strongly correlate with the site geological characteristics.
Fractal pattern of the Sumatra fault seismicity and its possible application to earthquake prediction
Authors: Sukmono Sigit , Zen M. T. , Hendrajaya L. , Kadir W. G. A. , Santoso D. , Dubois J.
Published: April 2023

It has been noted that the characteristics of earthquakes occurring on an active fault are closely related to the irregularity of fault geometry. Because of their rough appearances over many length scales, faults can be regarded as fractal sets and their geometrical irregularity can be quantified using fractal dimension values. Previous observations show that the Sumatra fault system (SFS) consists of 11 active fault segments with geometric fractal dimension values (D) ranging from 1.00 ± 0.03 to 1.24 ± 0.03. In this article, the relationships between D values and large shallow earthquakes (5.0 ≦ mb ≦ 7.0, depth ≦ 50 km) occurring between 1965 and 1994 are analyzed. The results show that there is a repetitive pattern, which we call the fractal pattern, of the SFS seismicity, correlating the times of earthquake recurrence with fault segment geometric D values. Based on this fractal pattern and the relationship between segment D values and seismogenic crustal models along the SFS, the 11 segments of the SFS can be divided into two groups of three classes in which each segment class has a specific earthquake recurrence interval. The recurrence interval then may be used to predict future large earthquakes in the segment classes as we have done before in predicting the 7 October 1995 Kerinci earthquake and 10 October 1996 Toru earthquake.
Influence of fault bends on ruptures
Authors: Acharya Hemendra K.
Published: April 2023

Data on slip along the San Andreas Fault have been examined to understand the influence of a bend in the fault system on the extent of slip release. A correlation of slip along the fault in the great 1906 and 1857 earthquakes with fault geometry shows that maximum slip occurred near a major change in the fault strike and may be a function of this change. The data appear to suggest that, in general, it takes about 10 years of strain accumulation to negotiate a 1° change in fault strike, assuming a slip rate of about 3 cm/yr. Seismic hazard along the San Andreas Fault may therefore also be a function of fault geometry.

Published: April 2023

Background: Effective coaching practices generate confidence and competence in student learners. The facilitation of coaching efficacy improves students' understanding of curriculum learning objectives and outcomes. This quality improvement project informed coaching recommendations for the Good Life Model program, a research-practice initiative. Problem: A lack of knowledge contributes to poor learner outcomes. Coaching contributes to student confidence and competence acquisition for the development of an evidence-based Coaching Map. Purpose: This project's aim was to evaluate the literature and develop an evidence-based Coaching Map. Learner outcomes are dramatically improved when the foundation of a course integrates teaching with coaching methods. Methods: Nine content experts in education, nursing, academic innovation, and the topics of coaching and competency reviewed the evidence-based Coaching Map. The content experts provided feedback by completing the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Printable Materials (PEMAT-P) of the evidence-based Coaching Map. Results/Implications: The content experts' responses indicated a mean score of 91% for understandability (standard deviation = 0.28) and 94% for actionability (standard deviation = 0.23) of the CLEAR (Create, Learn, Engage, Apply, Reflect) evidence-based Coaching Map. Suggested revisions from the respondents' expertise provided feedback to consider for improving the evidence-based Coaching Map. These results generated recommendations for an executive presentation for the professionals and stakeholders of the Good Life Model program. The results suggest that the next steps in future iterations should be investigated to advance and sustain the CLEAR evidence-based Coaching Map.

Establishment of an Evidence-Based Mentee Workshop for Novice Nurse Practitioners
Authors:   , Bell Martine , Douglass Brenda L.
Published: April 2023

Background: A growing shortage of healthcare providers makes it imperative to find ways to retain employees. Mentoring of Novice Nurse Practitioners eases role transition and improves job satisfaction by serving as a bridge from academics to practice. For a mentorship to be successful, mentees must possess the knowledge and self-efficacy skills needed to be active partners in the mentor/mentee relationship. Problem: An Adult Emergency Department (AED) in a large teaching hospital that did not have a mentorship program, experienced an increase in turnover of nurse practitioners who were in the first two-years of practice attributed to role transition difficulties. Purpose: To determine if a Mentee Workshop for novice nurse practitioners using Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory leads to acquisition of knowledge and self-efficacy skills for the mentee to successful in a mentorship and increase staff retention among this group. Methods: This quality improvement project used Plan-Do-Check-Act to guide the development of a Mentee Workshop for Novice Nurse Practitioners. Literature review was performed regarding mentoring programs and mentor/mentee training. The General Self-Efficacy Scale and Turnover Intention Scale was used pre- and post-implementation and analyzed through mode, mean, and range of scores with statistical consultation. Results/Implications: There is a gap in knowledge regarding nurse practitioner mentee training programs. The available literature considers mentoring to be a gold standard of nursing practice and a means to increase retention and self-efficacy. An evidence-based Mentee Workshop may be effective to increase retention and self-efficacy in Novice Nurse Practitioners.

Authors:   , Rosenblatt Megan Christine , Douglass Brenda L.
Published: April 2023

Background: Increases in the use of cannabis by adolescents is a public health concern. A contributing factor to the upward trend in use includes missed opportunities by health care providers for educating adolescents on the health effects of cannabis use. Purpose: This DNP practice improvement project was conducted to determine if evidence-based training is effective for improving health care provider knowledge, belief, and confidence communicating with adolescent patients about the health effects of cannabis use. Methods: The participants attended the educational session and completed a modified 18-item Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) Questionnaire on cannabis both before (pre) and after (post) exposure to the training. A paired t-test was conducted to determine if significant improvements in evidence-based knowledge, beliefs, and confidence. Findings: Evidence-Based Knowledge increased 40% from 18.93 to 26.47 (t=7.54; p=.000); Beliefs by 14.3% from 22.8 to 26.6 (t=3.8; p=.009) and Practice Confidence 28% from18.6 to 25.86 (t= 6.64, p=.000). The total KAP scores increased from 60.3 to 79.7 points (t=6.0; p=.000) on a possible score range between18 to 90 points. Conclusion: The findings strongly suggest that the education intervention was successful with significantly increasing awareness on all three KAP domains. Educational workshops should be considered as a standard part of training practitioners treating the adolescent population. Further studies on the impact of evidence-based training with larger sample sizes from diverse healthcare facilities are highly recommended.

Improve Communication and Promote Patient Safety During Bedside Shift Report (BSSR)
Authors:   , Shine Christa , Poyss Alicemarie R.
Published: April 2023

A requirement for bedside shift report is effective communication. Improving handoff report between nurses in a clinical environment that will promote patient and family center care. Poor communication will lead to medical errors, negative effect on patient safety and outcomes. Bedside shift report is the exchange of responsibility of patient care from one nurse to another. The exchange of information typically occurs in the present of the patient. Many times, report between nurses happens at the nurses' station, hallway, or break area, away from the patient. The purpose of this quality improvement project is to improve communication and to promote patient safety during bedside shift report on the medical-surgical unit in 3 months. Reestablishing the microsystem current standard of practice on the first-floor inpatient unit. A 34-bed unit divided into three units. Having a daily huddle with the nurses about the use of the SBAR communication tool, with a laminated card that will be handed out to each nurse to keep during change of shift report. There is a survey sent to patients at the end of their hospital stay: At the change of shift how often did the off-going nurse and on-coming nurse discussed your plan of care at the bedside? The first floor HCAPHS scores for Q1-20 52.4%, Q2-20 52.3%, Q3-20 56.4%, and Q4-20 72.3%. Reestablishing the current standard will have a positive impact on patient satisfaction scores, nurse satisfaction and patient safety.

Authors:   , Smith Maura C. , Poyss Alicemarie R.
Published: April 2023

Patient falls are associated with negative patient outcomes and uncovered hospital costs. A suburban emergency department (ED) nestled within a senior living community experienced a 16% increase in patient falls within one year. About 30% of patient falls in this microsystem are within two hours of shift change. The purpose of this project is to determine if the use of SBAR-T bedside shift report will decrease emergency department patient (ages 60 and older) falls by 5% in a six-week period (March 8, 2021 - April 19, 2021) compared to current shift report. SBAR-T bedside shift report involved conducting a bedside shift report between the oncoming nurse, offgoing nurse, and the patient. The report protocol included a fall risk focus and assessment during the 7a and 7p shift changes. The co-principal investigator conducted this project using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model which yielded a 50% decrease in fall rate after implementation with a total of 2 patient falls. There is no associated change in injury or unassisted fall rate. Average nursing compliance is 43%, with the highest compliance during the first two weeks. The clinical implications of this study support compliance with the SBAR-T bedside shift report to eliminate potential uncovered hospital costs associated with patient falls. Keywords: SBAR-T bedside shift report, patient falls, emergency department, older adults, falls with injury, unassisted falls, hospital costs
(Un)Social Media Addiction
Authors:   , Daley Jessica Lynn , Devereaux Christina
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this culminating project was to write a theoretical journal article manuscript with the intention of submission for publication to Cyberpsychology: The Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace. The presented article discusses the mental health concerns associated with addictive social media use and position dance/movement therapy (DMT) as a possible treatment modality. Social media addiction (SMA) has emerged as a significant issue around the globe. While many mental health concerns have been noted in the research, the scope was beyond the capacity of this project. Therefore, the author focuses on depression and the component of addiction which was found to be the most salient in the literature. Additional attention is given to the somatic symptoms of depression, and the bi-directional impact of the stooping body posture observed in persons engaging in social media use. DMT literature is presented that identifies successful research for depression and addiction through the healing processes of DMT such as kinesthetic empathy, group synergy, and mirroring. Presently, there is a lack of research connecting the use of DMT for SMA. The author's intention is to bring awareness to the possible implications of DMT for SMA, to inspire research in this space as the first of its kind, and to further legitimize and support DMT theory and practice as a mainstream modality for mental health.

Published: April 2023

As a fundamental design feature of their digital archives, this approach was applied to the project. It has so demonstrated considerable potential in terms of defining and condensing crucial data pieces that support the presumption of authenticity across a wide range of record formats. The purpose of this study is to offer a conceptual technique, which will be referred to as object-oriented diplomacy in this work. This methodology focuses on creating digital records that can maintain their authenticity over time and when they are removed from their original systems. This is accomplished through the extension of archival diplomatic theory and the application of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles. A new way to support the presumption of the authenticity of digital records is presented in this study, which makes use of concepts from archival diplomatic theory, which are combined with OOP principles. It is the author's goal that this work may spark a more fruitful collaboration between archivists and records managers and software developers in the development and implementation of digital repositories in the future.

Authors: Pasupuleti Mahesh Babu
Published: April 2023

Planning and evaluating project management are key parts of project performance that should not be overlooked. It is difficult to succeed at project management unless you have a realistic and logical plan in place. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of papers on the application of machine learning in software project management, covering a wide range of topics. Apart from that, this study examines machine learning, software project management, and methodologies. Papers in the first category are the results of software project management studies or surveys. Papers in the third category are based on machine-learning methods and strategies applied to projects; studies on the phases and tests that are the parameters used in machine-learning management; and final classes of study results, contribution of studies to production, and promotion of machine-learning project prediction. Our work also provides a larger perspective and context, which could be useful for future project risk management research, among other things. To summarize, we have demonstrated that project risk assessment using machine learning is more effective in minimizing project losses, increasing the likelihood of project success, providing an alternative method for efficiently reducing project failure probabilities, increasing the output ratio for growth, and facilitating accuracy-based analysis of software fault prediction.

In Search of Durovernum: New Studies of Roman Canterbury
Authors: Baryshnikov Anton
Published: April 2023

The paper deals with the current state of research of Durovernum cantiacorum (Roman Canterbury). History of ancient Canterbury in many aspects remains unknown and unclear despite the decades of fruitful fieldwork. One of the reasons for this is an obscuring image of Durovernum that presents it as a typical Romano-British town, almost identical to other centers of provincial urbanism. The author suggests that a number of key points in history of Roman Canterbury needs to become objects for the critical re-thinking. In particular it is needed to investigate a context of the foundation of Iron Age settlement, to update our knowledge of the main phases of the urban development, to analyze the data that helps to reconstruct social history of Durovernum. Contemporary research of these topics (works by D. Holman, J. Weekes, L. Duffy and others) gives us hope that the appearance of a new, more detailed and nuanced history of Roman Canterbury will happen very soon.
Poetics of Empire in the Literature of the Early Principate
Authors: Makhlayuk Alexander
Published: April 2023

В статье рассматриваются содержание и особенности имперского дискурса в сочинениях поэтов Августова века. Показано восприятие римскими авторами имперского пространства как этнически разнородного и в то же время универсального, охватывающего весь населенный мир и подвластного Риму и единой власти принцепса. Выявляются представления поэтов об особой имперской миссии Рима, характере Pax Romana. Делается вывод о том, что имперские реалии были глубинной основой мировосприятия августовских поэтов, являвшихся безусловными адептами римского империализма, который нашел в их творчестве мощное образное (а у Вергилия, можно сказать, и теоретическое) воплощение, став мифом, формировавшим римскую имперскую идентичность.
The History of Botany (Gifts of Synesius, Bishop of Cyrene)
Authors: Selivanova Larisa
Published: April 2023

The article focuses on the identification of silphium — a forgotten precious plant and the symbol of ancient Cyrene — which became extinct in the first century C. E. due to the merciless plunder of local natural resources by Roman governors. However, some scholars believe that silphium survived into the fifth century, with reference to two letters (106 and 134) by Synesius, Bishop of Cyrene (370—413 C. E.). Based on their comparison with other written evidence, the author concludes that, consumed as he was with public duties and church service, Synesius could not fully immerse himself in botanical nuances of the local flora. He therefore identified some other Ferula species, acculturated by his correspondent, as silphium. As a local patriot, Synesius wholeheartedly upheld the legend of the surviving plant, seeing it as a symbol of victory over death, which gave hope to his fellow countrymen in hard times.
On the need to form a special procedural status of participants in criminal proceedings from among persons with disabilities
Authors: Kurbatova S. M.
Published: April 2023

This article raises the problem of the lack of regulation in the Russian criminal procedure legislation of the participation of persons with disabilities. It is proposed to replace the terminology used in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation persons with physical and mental disabilities with persons with disabilities, extending it not only to suspects, accused, but also to participants in criminal proceedings in general who fall under its signs. The necessity of allocating this category of participants is justified, based on the fact that they are limited in their ability to exercise their rights and perform the duties provided to them by law, and endow them with a special procedural status. Attention is drawn to the need to implement this, including on the basis of the provisions of international legal documents and the modern doctrine of the legal social state. It is proposed to use the compensatory approach developed by the author to solve the identified problems. It is noted that in a number of states such an approach finds its implementation, which allows using their experience to improve the Russian criminal procedure legislation.

Authors: ÇALIŞIR Vahit
Published: April 2023

One of the primary purposes of political communication research is to determine the position of the public on any political issue. It is now possible to gather and evaluate information about people's political lives from a sizable data pool around the globe. In the newly emerging field known as Computational Social Sciences, computer science is employed to acquire and analyze these data. Through the emergence of a trend on social media, Turkey has recently witnessed a race between supporters of the ruling party and opposition groupings. In this study, two pro-government and pro-opposition trends (On Twitter) were taken into account when conducting social network analyses. Data were obtained from Twitter. According to the research, the pro-government trend spread at a rate of 155 tweets per hour, while the opposition-supported trend expanded at a rate of 127 tweets per hour. The graphs' observations show that spreading the opposition trend involves the usage of fake accounts more frequently than spreading the government-supporting trend. However, it has been observed that fake accounts are effective in the opening and course of both trends. Accordingly, it is thought that fake accounts seriously contribute to trend formation on Twitter.

This study investigated the effects of prolonged storage conditions on the physicochemical parameter, toxic metals, microbial loads, and health risks assessment of randomly selected three brands of sachet and bottled water in North Central, Nigeria. One hundred eighty samples of water brands (sachet and bottled) were collected from 10 different factories and were grouped into three. They were analyzed immediately (initial), being exposed to mild sunlight (stored with a container) and exposed to intense sunlight (stored without a container) conditions for six weeks. The results of the physicochemical parameters (sachet and bottle) were within the limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON). While the results of heavy metals analysis for both sachet and bottled water recorded 0.15 - 0.51 mg/L (0.10 mg/L , 0.05 mg/L), 0.13 - 0.38 mg/L (0.015 mg/L, 0.01 mg/L) and 0.55 - 1.11 mg/L (0.03 mg/L, 0.3 mg/L) for Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb) and Iron (Fe) respectively, as compared to the permissible limits (values in the bracket for each heavy metals) set by WHO and SON. The microbial analysis results ranged between 6.58 - 124.51 Cfu/100 mL, 0.52 - 37.56 Cfu/100 mL, 0.07 - 5.00 Cfu/100 mL, 0 - 2.07 Cfu/100 mL for Total Bacteria Count (TBC), Total Coliform Count (TCC), Faecal Coliform Count (FCC) and Total Fungal Count (TFC) respectively, which showed no effective quality control system. Incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) assessment revealed a carcinogenic health risk to the populace drinking this water. The study concludes that water stored under sunlight for a long period is not good for human consumption and therefore adequate monitoring by the appropriate agencies is emphasized.
Kilka uwag o łacińskiej terminologii prawniczej w dziełach Adama Mickiewicza
Authors: Szczygielski Krzysztof
Published: April 2023

Adam Mickiewicz postrzegany jest jako najwybitniejszy polski poeta romantyzmu, jak również jeden z najznakomitszych w skali europejskiej. Interesujące, że w swoich dziełach Mickiewicz używał fachowej łacińskiej terminologii prawniczej odnoszącej się do kwestii struktury społecznej, organizacji politycznej państwa rzymskiego i jego prawa. Wiedzę na ten temat poeta czerpał przede wszystkim z dzieł pisarzy antycznych, z którymi zapoznał się podczas studiów na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim. Mickiewicz czytał także opracowania szeroko omawiające historię starożytnego Rzymu takich autorów, jak Edward Gibbon, Barthold Georg Niebuhr, Jules Michelet czy Joachim Lelewel.

Published: April 2023

Artykuł dotyczy nieformalnego sposobu wyzwolenia niewolnika, jakim była manumissio inter amicos. Słabo wykorzystanym źródłem poznania tej instytucji wydają się komedie Plauta. Wynika z nich, że właściciel wyrażał w formie imperatywnej chęć wyzwolenia, natomiast amici, czyli świadkowie, potwierdzali swoją obecność i gotowość poświadczenia wyzwolenia, mówiąc, że cieszą się z otrzymanej przez niewolnika wolności.
Decoding Terminological AWARENESS: Developing Terminological Competence
Authors: Platonova Marina
Published: April 2023

In the dynamically changing scientific and academic environment it is rather difficult to imagine efficient communication among professionals in any field and across domains unless terminological deficiencies are properly addressed and solved. Bridging the existing terminological gap implies considering the issues of availability of terms, terminological work, acceptability of terms, responsibility of the respective authorities, degree of erudition of the actors, the performed needs analysis, term elaboration mechanisms, sensitivity and tolerance of the stakeholders, and last but not least, a well-defined scientific approach to term creation, harmonization and alignment across the languages. Therefore, raising terminological awareness is an essential part of curriculum at all levels of tertiary education, fundamental and/or applied research as well as vocational traineeship. It especially concerns the design of the contemporary technical translator profile, developing terminological competence and addressing the issues of cultural sensitivity and domain knowledge. The present paper aims at discussing the notion of terminological awareness and testing it against the number of the relevant terminological sub-competences a user should possess.

Advancements in science and technology are mobilizing higher education landscapes into borderless settings. Such changes also urge higher education settings to adopt transformative learning opportunities into their curriculum policy. Universities are accountable for helping youth build on their 21st Century competences by highlighting societal issues at global levels such as climate change, refugee crises or big human movements due to poverty, politics, conflicts, wars, or natural disasters. Youth need to build on knowledge, skills, and competences to recognize that any crises in one location can have an immediate impact on neighboring countries primarily and the whole world and challenge their potential to act as global citizens in their deeds and decisions as future change agents for a peaceful future. In this paper, we highlight the need to invest in global citizenship capabilities that will enable higher education students to go beyond their academic settings and network with international students via digital tools. In this paper, higher education students are regarded as future change agents who are willing to develop accountability toward the entire globe by investing in their socio-ecological, socio-critical and socio-emotional capabilities.

Today, digital games that incorporate multi-ending scenarios are not uncommon in the entertainment field. However, there is no such application of the multiple endings to learning games and educational situations. Therefore, there are no studies that have examined the learning effects of the multiple endings in learning games. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a multiple endings learning game on learners' motivation and learning effectiveness. To test effectiveness of multiple endings, a multiple endings learning novel game was designed in the experiment. The results of the experiment showed that the learners of group with multiple endings practiced more often. In addition, the multi group performed better. And the results also showed that the learners in the multi group had a higher sense of achievement and self-determination than those in the single group. Based on these experiments, this study clarified that the multiple endings can improve the learning effect.
