Optimization of Neural Networks Using Mathematical Algorithms: An LSTM-Based Machine Learning Approach to Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Authors: Santosh kumar
Published: November 2024

The paper concentrates on boosting the precision and speed of neural networks for lung cancer diagnosis through novel optimization methodologies. This study employs Long Short-Term Memory neural networks specifically designed for time-series and sequential data, to introduces mathematical algorithms to improve the training process in a Neural Network. The goal is, therefore, to obtain more accurate diagnoses than with use of CXR alone and fewer computational costs hopefully even easier detection in the early stages. This model merges the optimisation mathematics that includes gradient descent, Adam optimiser and various ways of regularising a little to tune in LSTM layers well for better feature extraction out of patient data. The results have shown a remarkable superiority of the model performance compared to traditional diagnostic approaches including precision, sensitivity and specificity metrics. Using a unique combination of feature pre-processing methods and optimization, this paper shows how machine-learning based diagnosis can be made resilient to noisy data that might otherwise propagate errors into the clinical decision process. These results could increase robust lung cancer diagnostics by lowering the rates of false positives and negatives, while in turn improving patient management and treatment.

Code Generation Empowered by Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: S.Girirajan
Published: November 2024

The goal of this study is to revolutionize code creation processes by investigating the synergistic union of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). Enterprising non-programmers with entrance barriers, traditional approaches to code generation frequently demand expert-level programming expertise. Development teams can communicate coding tasks in natural language by utilizing NLP techniques like language modeling and semantic parsing. This helps to close the gap between human intent and instructions that can be executed by a computer. By incorporating ML techniques, the system may also more effectively understand and produce code that is compatible with a wider range of programming languages and paradigms. This research clarifies the revolutionary potential of NLP and ML-driven code creation and highlights its consequences for software development efficiency, accessibility, and innovation through an extensive assessment of current developments and case examples.

Authors: Ms. N. Punitha
Published: November 2024

Development of geometrical and topological methods in fluid flows, will give more insight into wide range of problems. Our purpose in this paper is to study and obtain certain invariants related to vorticity field and magnetic field in the case of fluid and magneto hydrodynamic flows. This paper aims at presenting some exact solutions for two dimensional incompressible hydromagnetic flow of viscous fluid. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations for an incompressible MHD flow of viscous fluid and topology conservation equation are obtained. The equations are solved by assuming appropriate vector potential. Velocity and vorticity vector are obtained for particular cases and verified the topology conservation equation. The topology of vorticity vector field is conserved even when Lorentz force term exist in magnetohydrodynamic flow under the condition that the magnetic field is the extremal field for the magnetic energy functional throughout the flow. Velocity vectors are demonstrated graphically for each case and graphs are given for various low and high viscous fluids.
Optimization of Crop Yield Prediction Through Linear Modelling and Deep Learning Techniques Used in Precision Agriculture
Authors: Ramakrishna Kolikipogu
Published: November 2024

The substantial advancements in computer science and engineering have sparked interest in precision agriculture and led to the development of more advanced instruments and methods for enhancing farming practices. This study focuses on the use of machine learning and mathematical models for fertilisation optimisation and yield prediction as part of a Precision Agriculture strategy. In particular, provides the outcomes of forecasting winter wheat production and protein content across four farms using the amounts of nitrogen fertiliser sprayed on the fields. To maximise net yields on the next crop, fertiliser treatments have to be prescribed based on these projections. In particular, contrast approaches based on neural networks (deep and shallow) and multiple regression (linear and non-linear). The greatest results are obtained by a deep neural network that incorporates spatial sampling and is based on the stacked autoencoder, according to the findings.

Published: November 2024

This study sought to assess Ghana’s strategic stocks policy through the lens of the national energy policy and the realities and dynamics of the energy industry. Employing a theoretical policy appraisal approach and interviews with industry experts, the study established that strategic stock management faces challenges which primarily hinge on inadequate refinery and storage capacity, and inadequate strategic stock of petroleum and refined products. The study recommends nationwide strategic stock policy education, regulations to ensure order with the policy framework, and alternative models such as public-private partnerships (PPPs) to ensure a reliable supply of petroleum products, and to support the maintenance and upgrade of the storage infrastructure.
The Effect of Normative Commitment on Intention to Stay at Work: An Application in the Aviation Sector
Authors: Deniz Ahmet
Published: November 2024

Normative commitment is defined as the extent to which an individual adheres to norms at work. The intention to stay at work indicates how long the individual plans to stay in their current job. A high level of normative commitment indicates that the individual adheres strongly to organizational and social norms, which may positively affect the intention to stay at work. The extant literature indicates that normative commitment, which arises from a sense of moral duty or perceived obligation to the organization, can significantly influence an individual's decision to continue employment with the organization. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of normative commitment on work retention intentions.A total of 567 individuals employed in the aviation sector at IGA (Istanbul Ground Airport) were surveyed. The correlation analysis revealed a highly significant positive relationship between normative commitment and intention to stay at work, with r = 0.718 (p < 0.05 significance level). The regression analysis demonstrated that normative commitment exerts an effect on intention to stay at work (β = 0.753; p < 0.05). The results of the t-test and ANOVA on normative commitment and intention to stay at work revealed significant differences between gender, status, age, education, and working hours at the p < 0.05 significance level.

Authors: Vamsinadh Ganta , Swamy Kona Shiva , K. Joginaidu
Published: November 2024

Forest fires are a major threat to ecosystems and human lives. Early detection of forest fires can greatly reduce their impact and detection is crucial in minimizing their damage. In recent years, the application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with cameras with high resolution has become an effective tool for forest fire detection. However, manual detection and analysis of these images can be time-consuming and errorprone. In this study, we propose a forest fire detection method that uses Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) to automatically analyze UAV imagery. The proposed method involves preprocessing the images to enhance the features of interest and then feeding them into the CNN for classification. We trained & tested our model using a dataset of UAV images and obtained a classification precision of 95%. The results indicate that our proposed method is effective in detecting forest fires using UAV imagery and can provide a fast and accurate means of early detection, which is critical in preventing the spread of wildfires. Forests are critical components of biosphere protection all around the planet. They provide significant contributions to the carbon cycle worldwide and support a diverse range of the animal and plant kingdoms. Fires in forests are among the most serious risks to living organisms in many parts of the world; they jeopardise the environment, including people, plants, and animals. Wildfires ravaged the regions of North Africa and the Mediterranean last year. Early detection of forest fires is critical for saving lives and property. The detection and prediction of forest fires are challenging undertakings given that wildfires begin tiny and are difficult to spo tin the distance. Fires can start small and spread swiftly to become enormous and dangerous. The combination of drones and high accuracy wildfire detection can be achieved by deep learning utilizing photos. UAVs can be used to help determine the fire’s location and the extent of its spread region, even though deep learning can be utilised to determine the fire’s qualities. This pairing is a critical building block for developing a system capable of more precise detection of wildfires. The recent published state-ofthe-art research publications on employing drones and deep learning to identify forest fires are examined in this paper.

Published: November 2024

В условиях быстрого распространения цифровых технологий и цифровой трансформации во всех сферах жизни современное развитие общества привело к четвертой промышленной революции и новой эпохе социального развития. Все эти процессы, связанные с цифровизацией, указывают на необходимость внесения своевременных и адекватных изменений в социально-экономическую систему и, соответственно, в трудовые ресурсы. Переход к полностью цифровой экономике кажется невозможным без квалифицированных кадров и экспертов. Известно, что главным элементом всех процессов позитивных изменений и двигателем развития является человеческий капитал. Поэтому развитие современного общества порождает потребность в цифровой грамотности среди населения и во всех сферах профессиональной деятельности. Развитие высококачественных человеческих ресурсов является важной целью стратегии устойчивого развития страны. Если говорить о формировании качественного человеческого капитала, то нельзя обойти вниманием новый и важный вопрос адаптации системы высшего образования к новым условиям и использования возможности формирования человеческого капитала именно с необходимыми знаниями, навыками и умениями в связи с цифровизацией. В условиях новой формации образование должно служить развитию самостоятельного управления обучением и индивидуальной творческой инициативы, но, к сожалению, сегодня образование ориентировано на массовое обучение без результата и качества.

With the rapid spread of digital technologies and digital transformation in all spheres of life, the modern development of society has led to the fourth industrial revolution and a new era of social development. All these processes associated with digitalization indicate the need to make timely and adequate changes in the socio-economic system and, consequently, in the workforce. The transition to a fully digital economy seems impossible without qualified human resources and experts. It is known that the main element of all processes of positive change and the engine of development is human capital. Therefore, the development of modern society generates the need for digital literacy among the population and in all spheres of professional activity. The development of high-quality human resources is an important goal of the country's sustainable development strategy. If we talk about the formation of high-quality human capital, we cannot ignore the new and important issue of adapting the higher education system to new conditions and using the opportunity to form human capital with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities in connection with digitalization. In the conditions of the new formation, education should serve the development of independent learning management and individual creative initiative, but, unfortunately, today education is focused on mass learning without results and quality.

Gilles Deleuze ve Félix Guattari, insan-çevre ilişkilerini anlamak için önemli bir kavramsal çerçeve sunmakta olup, felsefeyi insan-ötesi ve Dünya’dan türeyen bir kavramlar dizisi olarak ele almayı önerirler. Bu bakış açısı, maddeci bir perspektif çerçevesinde, jeofelsefe kavramıyla yeni insan toplulukları için yeni bir dünya yaratmayı hedefler. Dahası, insan olmayan aktörlerin tarih ve toplumu biçimlendirmedeki rolüne vurgu yaparak, geleneksel temsillerin ötesinde insan olmayan varlıkları düşünmeye yönelik bir alan açar. Böylece, jeofelsefe, insan olmayan eyleyiciliği ve dönüştürücü ilişkileri merkeze alır; aynı zamanda, statü ve ayrıcalık sahibi liberal humanist özneyi eleştirerek, bu öznenin dışlayıcı yapısına karşı bir duruş sergiler. Bu makale ise jeofelsefeyi mekân-merkezli bir kavram olarak ele almakta ve felsefe ile insan olmayan arasındaki etkileşimi irdelemek üzere disiplinlerarası bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.
SAHİCİLİK VE TEKNOLOJİ SİYASETİ KISKACINDA: BİR KAYNAK OLARAK İNSAN
Authors: Mercan Boran Ali , Aytaç Ahmet Murat
Published: November 2024

İnsan için dünya hiçbir zaman birbiriyle ilişkisiz nesneler bütününden ibaret değildir. Aksine insan dünya ile anlamlı ve heyecansal bir ilişkilenme halindedir ve şeylerin anlamı da bu ilişkilenme halinden türer. İnsanın gereksinimleri ve kullanımına göre şeylerin kaynak olabildiği dünya algısı, modern çağda her şeyin sadece birer kaynaktan ibaret olduğu kavrayışına dönüşmüştür. Bu yazı modern teknolojinin dünyayı hesap ve ölçümle çerçeveleyerek insan da dahil içindeki her şeyi gerektiğinde işe koşulacak bir kaynağa dönüştürmesini sorunsallaştırıyor. Yeni yönetim ideolojileri insan kaynağından değer yaratmak adına “sahicilik” söylemleri aracılığıyla fiziksel, zihinsel, duygusal bütün bir insan varoluşunu–yaşamını (bios) akıllı ve esnek otomasyon sistemleri ile algoritma teknolojilerinin dönüştürdüğü iş–çalışma uzamına tabi kılmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, modern teknoloji eleştirisini iş–çalışma ediminin dünyasallığı ekseninde Heidegger’in işlik (Werkstatt) tartışmasıyla başlatıp çerçeveleme ve rezervde durma analiziyle derinleştiriyoruz. Ancak Heidegger’den farklı olarak, Kartezyen ontolojinin mantığıyla insan zihni ve eylemini emek sürecinde ayrıştıran endüstriyel dönemden insan yaşamının tamamını hedefleyen biyopolitik post-endüstriyel döneme geçişle, işliğin (iş yerinin) dönüşümünü tarihsel ve toplumsal bir zemine oturtuyoruz. Nihai olarak, Adorno’nun sahicilik jargonu tartışması yazının eleştirel eksenini tamamlamaktadır. İş ve iş-dışı ayrımının belirsizleştiği bir iş–çalışma uzamında sahici olmak çağrısı işten özgürleşme ve otonomiyi değil; aksine iş aracılığıyla ve iş etrafında yeniden tabi kılınmayı beraberinde getirmektedir.
FEMİNİZMLERİN ÖZGÜRLÜKLE KEKREMSİ İLİŞKİSİ

endilerine ait bir akla, duyuşa ve eyleyiciliğe sahip olmayı, varoluşsal imkânlarıyla kaynaklarının farklı köklerine gitmeyi ve onlarla yeniden yapıcı, iyileştirici ve yaratıcı ilişkilenen oyunbozan öznelerin özgürlük deneyimleri çağdaş feminist teorilerin de çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda bu süreçleri ve feminist teorilerin özgürlük anlayışlarını, eleştirilerini ve mücadelelerini Nancy Hirschmann’ın Ishiac Berlin’in Two Concepts of Liberty makalesinde pozitif ve negatif özgürlük tanımından hareketle feminizme uyarladığı özgürlük kavramı yorumunu farklı deneyimlerle yapısöküme uğratarak analiz edeceğiz. Eleştirel feminizmlerin özne oluşa dair temel önermeleri ve teklif ettikleri modelleri genel hatlarıyla ele aldıktan sonra feminizmlerin özgürlükle kekremsi ilişkisini Sara Ahmed'in “oyunbozan özne” adlandırması çerçevesinde eyleminin aktörü olmak, “aklını otoriteye teslim etmemek” ve “kadın oluş” bağlamında tartışmaya açacağız. Bu süreçte şu üç yargı çalışmanın ana eksenini oluşturacaktır: 1) Feminizm modern seküler dilin ürettiği yekpare bir model değildir. 2) Feminist teorilerde tek bir özgürlük tanımı ve modeli yerine tanınma ve hak ilişkisinden hareketle merkez olmayan farklı kültürel ve tarihsel pratikleri içeren modeller oluşturulmuştur. 3) Bu yeni modelleri anlatacak ve açıklayacak yeni kavramlar, mevcut normatif söylemden hareketle oluşturulamaz, kavramlar oluşturacak dişil yönteme ihtiyaç vardır. Bu üç yargıdan hareketle cinsiyetleştirilmiş özgürlük deneyimini eleştirel bir bakışla analiz ederek ortaya çıkardığı sorunları ve alternatif cevapları ele alacağız.
A proposito di quel segno che è come l’uomo
Authors: Varetto Nicolò
Published: November 2024

Questo articolo cerca di avvicinare le questioni che possono nascere da una lettura ermeneutica dell’opera di Peirce. In particolare si tratterà di individuare quei temi portanti dove la Semiotica, proprio in quanto esperienza filosofica ancor prima che disciplina scientifica, è capace di offrire un contributo per la discussione intorno alle istanze transdisciplinari, necessitate dal bisogno di una reciproca discussione fra le pratiche che ciascuno di noi frequenta autonomamente. Questo significherà sviluppare l’indagine non tanto nella direzione di garantire la permanenza in un orizzonte di senso, sufficiente a spiegare e mettere ordine nei momenti in cui ci troviamo preda delle nostre mancanze. Proveremo, invece, a mostrare che anche qualora ritenessimo costitutiva la parzialità delle nostre singole prospettive, così da poterci dedicare alla trasformazione condivisa dei nostri saperi senza preoccuparci di scadere in una ripetizione omologante, spetterà a un’Ermeneutica genuinamente filosofica dedicarsi al compito che Peirce affidava al suo Pragmaticismo, ovvero una presa in carico critica di quelle difficili parole, radicate a fondo nella tradizione cui siamo individualmente rimessi, mai in modo manchevole ma secondo differenze compiute.

Authors: YOUSAF W , ASIF S , MALIK SA , KHARL RAK , KHURSHID A , ASHRAF J
Published: November 2024

Patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at risk for conduction abnormalities and bradyarrhythmias, which may necessitate the use of a temporary pacemaker (TP). While TPs can stabilize patients, in-hospital outcomes, particularly mortality and arrhythmic complications, remain concerns. Understanding these outcomes in STEMI patients requiring TP can provide insights into timely interventions and guide clinical management. Objective: .To evaluate the in-hospital outcomes of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) requiring temporary pacemaker (TP) insertion, examine patient demographics, clinical presentation, laboratory parameters, timing of pacemaker intervention, and associated complications. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 90 patients with confirmed STEMI, treated in the cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital. Patients were eligible if they presented with acute STEMI and required TP due to conduction abnormalities or bradyarrhythmias unresponsive to pharmacological therapy. In-hospital outcomes, including mortality and arrhythmic complications (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole) were recorded. Results: The mean age was 51.14 ± 6.18 years, with a predominance of males (64.4%). TP was inserted at presentation in 47.8% of patients and on the first post-MI day in 52.2%. In-hospital mortality occurred in 7.8% of cases, while ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and asystole were observed in 27.8%, 5.6%, and 2.2% of patients, respectively. Conclusion: Patients with STEMI requiring TP have substantial in-hospital mortality and a high rate of arrhythmic complications, particularly ventricular tachycardia. The findings underscore the importance of early intervention in cases with high risk of conduction abnormalities, emphasizing the value of TP in managing unstable STEMI cases.
Teenage Pregnancy and Micronutrient Deficiency: A Critical Review
Authors: Nupo Sunday S. , Martinez De la Fuente Viridiana , Ortiz Cruz Gabriela , Cortes-Hernandez Jose Lauro
Published: November 2024

Adolescence is a critical stage where growth is at its peak and when a pregnancy occurs in this period, it represents a greater nutritional risk for both the mother and the growing fetus. Young pregnant adolescents are more likely to give birth to babies with certain congenital anomalies, lower birth weight, and higher chances of infant mortality. Insufficient micronutrients in maternal nutrition during pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects in newborns. This can be attributed to the fact that the developing fetus depends on the mother's nutrition for its proper growth, metabolic processes, and proper development. Malnutrition during pregnancy can lead to a variety of birth defects, including neural tube closure defects, cleft lip and palate, congenital heart defects, and increased fetal mortality. Iron deficiency early in pregnancy in the first and second trimesters could lead to premature birth or decreased birth weight and negatively impact the health of newborns. Most spontaneous abortions observed in adolescents during the first trimester could be attributed to nutritional deficiency of the mothers prior to conception. Few of the miscarriages observed in adolescents during the first trimester could be attributed to the nutritional deficiency of the mothers prior to conception.

Family Policy Aimed at Demographic Incentives in EU Law
Authors: Korom Ágoston
Published: November 2024

This chapter examines the discretion conferred on the Member States of the European Union (EU) in relation to the application of family policy that aims to improve the demographic situation. Incentives for childbearing in pension schemes, as well as the status of the family and the related subsidies, fall within the competence of the Member States. The European Commission generally formulates recommendations in that regard, which lack binding force. Nonetheless, in these fields, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) gives effect to primary and secondary EU law ensuring equal treatment of men and women. State subsidies with objectives related to demography do not ‘prevail’ in the case law of the CJEU. Examining the ratio decidendi of the existing case law, it is clear that this is not limited to the acknowledgement of childbearing in pension schemes but covers all state subsidies with similar objectives. In my opinion, this case law is a major obstacle to achieving the related national goals; thus, it is necessary to harmonise the EU law in force and the objectives related to demography.
Croatia: Demographic Policy and Family Law Combatting Demographic Decline
Authors: Korać Graovac Aleksandra
Published: November 2024

This chapter focuses on family policy in Croatia, reviewing demographic data, the institutional framework for family policy, family support benefits (including the country’s generous maternity and paternity leave), child allowances, and baby bonus for the third and fourth child. The chapter explains state allowances and local (self-government) supported family allowances. Generational policy, tax and contribution benefits, family and work allowances, family-friendly provisions in the pension system (an additional 6-month period for each child), and the social security institutions supporting families are also reviewed within the family policy framework. In addition, the chapter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the real estate tax for housing in areas of special state concern and the subsidisation of housing loans for families. Criticism of the fact that expenditures for social policy in Croatia are among the lowest in the European Union is also presented. Though it does not significantly or directly influence demography, family law is extremely important owing to the system of principles and the values that these principles reflect. In the context of family policy, this chapter describes the principles of family law, family law regulation concerning property rights between family members (the concept of the family home, rules for the division of family property, representation of the child in property matters, etc.). It also introduces the legal norms that regulate establishing the origin of the child, as well as the rights and duties related to maintenance among relatives that offer financial security to family members based on the principle of family solidarity. Given that every 20th child in Croatia is born through medically assisted reproduction, this procedure influences the fertility rate to some extent. Consequently, the Croatian state provides generous support for reproductive health.
The Economy Begins in the Family
Authors: Michał A Michalski
Published: November 2024

This chapter presents the fundamental role of the family as the basic and primary social group for the existence and prosperity of the economy. Economic activity in modern societies is largely organised and conducted by formalised economic organisations. However, within their households, families produce goods and services that constitute an important part of GDP. Families also consume – as well as ‘prosume’ – distribute, and exchange wealth, and accumulate capital. In addition to examining the role of the family as the basic economic unit, this chapter describes and explains how the functioning of the family creates the necessary ground for the economy and conditions its multidimensional continuity, socio-economic reproduction, and development. In this context, various roles of the family are presented and explained, from the procreative function, which generates population replacement, through the socialisation, education and economic functions. The family is, thus, justifiably presented as an irreplaceable factory of human and social capital and a transmission belt of culture. The chapter collects and combines contributions and arguments from various disciplines, including economics, anthropology, cultural studies, and sociology.

The article attempts to determine the role of media diplomacy in shaping the state's  image in the international arena.
Media diplomacy under the conditions of globalization transformed geopolitical relations and changed the hierarchical system of foreign policy decision-making, highlighting the competition among states for the opportunity to influence public opinion. The information policy of the state involves not only the dissemination of positive information about it in the international information space, but also the integration of politicians, state government structures, non-state actors, famous personalities, and opinion leaders into the brand management system of the state's national policy. At the same time, the use of social media platforms in the implementation of diplomatic activities has led to the fact that any user of a social network today is not only a consumer of information, but also a direct supplier and distributor of it, meaning they have the opportunity to influence the adoption of certain decisions at the state level and shape in this way the image of the state. The article analyzes the use of media diplomacy mechanisms in the formation of Ukraine's image, identifies positive and negative aspects, and discusses prospects for its development.

The article examines the peculiarities of the implementation of the Republic of Poland's implementation of cultural diplomacy in Ukraine.  Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the basic foundations and principles of the development of Polish cultural diplomacy in modern modern times, and the activities of governmental and non-governmental institutions working in the field of cultural diplomacy. It is noted that the development of Poland's cultural diplomacy has been positively influenced by its EU membership, the modernization and expansion of cultural infrastructure, the growing number of cultural institutions in Poland, and the intensification of Ukrainian-Polish cultural cooperation The activities of cultural diplomacy actors such as the Polish Institute in Kyiv, the Center for Polish Culture and European Dialogue in Ivano-Frankivsk, the Mickiewicz Institute, the Stefan Batory Foundation, the Other Space Foundation, the Krzysztof Skubiszewski Foundation, and the Lane Kirkland Program, and their roles in developing and strengthening Ukrainian-Polish cultural cooperation are analyzed. Since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is noted that the Polish government has continued to advance cultural diplomacy in Ukraine. The Polish Institute, in particular, has been implementing numerous cultural and artistic projects at various levels. Support for the Polish diaspora during the war has intensified, Polish culture is being increasingly promoted, and scientific diplomacy is actively progressing, particularly through joint Ukrainian-Polish research, scientific exchanges, and academic mobility programs for scholars.
Towards the Artistry of Transcending Textual Conversion
Authors: Zygmunt Rafał
Published: November 2024

The present discussion, stressing the importance of interdependence between language and culture, somehow automatically directs our attention at the effective and expressive use of language, which is just the result of this sort of interrelationship. Undoubtedly, cultural competence combined with linguistic competence is responsible for expressiveness and thus, for success in communication.
In the course of views exchange, it becomes evident that a sensitive approach to the interpreter/translator’s task is responsible for text shaping, no matter whether its form is written or spoken. Thus, it can be concluded that the interpreter/translator’s ability to master text shaping may be viewed as an element of translatory artistry. Moreover, a sensitive approach to any text appears to be more important than interlingual rendition of the way of thinking, which is a risky process. The risk is that the so called mind-reading may result in misinterpretation and falsification due to the interpreter’s fraudulent changes in the message.

Published: November 2024

The study is devoted to the implementation of SWOT analysis as an auxiliary criterion for the selection of text material in the formation of English communicative competence for students of non-linguistic specialties. The article examines the concept of communicative competence, as a complex phenomenon of students’ availability of appropriate abilities and skills for high-quality foreign language communication. The main groups of criteria for the selection of text material have been outlined, including 1) subject-scientific ones; 2) linguistic stylistic; 3) methodological; 4) person-oriented. The concept of SWOT analysis has been summarized and the components of the matrix of this analysis have been analyzed, namely: the factors of positive influence of the internal environment are – Strengths, the negative factors – Weaknesses, and the factors of external influence are Opportunities, and the negative ones are Threats. The use of SWOT analysis, based on the classic qualitative criteria for text selection has been proposed as follows: Strengths – linguistic stylistic criteria of variety of types and genres and professionally oriented lexical units; Weaknesses – methodological criteria of authenticity, accessibility, adaptability, etc.; Opportunities – subject-scientific criteria of novelty, informational value and the presence of paralinguistic components; Threats are person-oriented criteria of relevance and practical value. An analysis of the English-language text has been carried out according to the proposed SWOT-analysis model and qualitative criteria for the selection of text material have been highlighted as well.

Covid-19 has caused tremendous changes in all spheres of life, including education. Coronavirus has dramatically altered situation all over the globe. The pandemic has forced to switch education towards online teaching mode, where learning content was delivered both, synchronously and asynchronously. After the pandemic, it has become impossible to return to the same patterns of life and studies as before. Hybrid teaching has become a reality in majority of higher institutions in many countries.
The aim of this study it to explore the aspects of efficacy in an online learning environment by building higher students’ stress resilience in facing New Normal in a post-pandemic time.
Research methodology. For the purpose of this study the authors used a questionnaire to explore stress resilience and self-efficacy in an online learning environment in a post pandemic. New sentence: Additionally, they conducted focus group interviews to examine coping mechanisms for building greater stress resilience among students in higher education. It was concluded that online learning requires paradigm shift in education towards post-industrial model by focusing on learner-centred constructivist approaches in co-creating knowledge in a self-directed learning mode. The intention of the authors was to explore a potential of pedagogical approaches on how to apply complex design of an online learning environment to become more efficient.

Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed) was researched for its application as a novel reducing agent. Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared via a modified Hummers method, and its reduction was achieved using an aqueous extract of Chromolaena odorata leaves. The use of conventional reducing agents typically results in hydrophobic reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which leads to agglomeration in solvents. However, the green reduction method using Chromolaena odorata extract achieved a homogeneous dispersion, which is crucial for applications requiring simple preparation techniques such as magnetic stirring, ultrasonic sonication, and vacuum mixing. Characterization of the rGO revealed a broad peak around 24.12º in the x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, an increased ID / IG ratio of 1.09 from Raman spectroscopy, and a high C:O ratio of 5.07 from energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Additionally, BET analysis demonstrated an increase in surface area and pore volume, while FESEM analyses showed a uniform morphology with clear structural defects and minimal oxygen content. FTIR spectra further confirmed the reduction process, indicated significant decrease in oxygen-related peaks. These findings highlight the potential of Chromolaena odorata as a sustainable reducing agent for the  environmentally friendly synthesis of high-quality rGO.
