Pengajaran KBAT Merentas Kurikulum: Cabaran Guru dalam Pelaksanaan
Authors: Andin Christina , M.Z Rosmiza
Published: May 2023

Pengajaran Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT) merentas kurikulum memerlukan semua guru melaksanakan perubahan pendekatan pengajaran daripada berpusat guru kepada berpusatkan pelajar. Guru bukan lagi sebagai pemberi maklumat dan pelajar bukan lagi sebagai penerima yang pasif.  Guru perlu menjadi fasilitator pembelajaran dan pelajar perlu aktif dalam pembelajaran.  Walau bagaimanapun,  kajian lepas mendapati pelaksanaan KBAT kurang berkesan.  Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka pengalaman guru terutamanya dalam aspek cabaran yang dihadapi dalam pelaksanaan. Kajian ini dilaksanakan menggunakan pendekatan qualitatif secara indepth interviews bersama 6 orang guru di sekolah menengah.  Hasil kajian menunjukkan terdapat empat elemen utama dalam cabaran pelaksanaan KBAT iaitu inovasi, guru, persekitaran dan pemantauan.  Elemen inovasi dikaitkan dengan aspek fundamental seperti kerencaman dasar versus keupayaan melaksana. Elemen guru berkisar dengan kesediaan guru seperti pengetahuan dan kemahiran. Elemen persekitaran berkait dengan faktor budaya organisasi seperti budaya kerja, kepimpinan sekolah, motivasi kerja, dan infrasturuktur sokongan. Elemen pemantauan memberi fokus kepada faktor seperti penilaian pencapaian dasar. Hasil kajian ini boleh digunakan bukan sahaja oleh guru sebagai pelaksana, tetapi juga pembuat dasar, untuk tujuan penambahbaikan berterusan agar objektif dasar KBAT dapat dicapai.

Atuação do Estado brasileiro na função de democratização do acesso à terra: o porquê da existência do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra?
Authors: Bezerra Luana Galdino Diniz , Silva Heibe Santana da
Published: May 2023

O Estado Brasileiro é marcado pela concentração fundiária, devido a isso, surge o movimento do MST para defender direitos como o da moradia, no aspecto social, econômico e ambiental. O objetivo é analisar a questão fundiária e a atuação do Estado Brasileiro na democratização do acesso à moradia e em face disso compreender o porquê da existência do MST. A moradia está ligada ao Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana, pois a partir deste se compreende que aquela oferece qualidade de vida ao indivíduo, como a higienização, descanso, lazer, alimentação, labor, saúde e atividades que serão realizadas e necessárias na vida de qualquer indivíduo. Ocorre, entretanto, que embora seja um direito garantido no plano formal jurídico, percebe-se que no plano fático carece de efetividade pelo Estado devido a uma política brasileira que privilegia o latifúndio desde o Brasil Colônia. O principal responsável para proteção de direitos fundamentais é negligente e converge na manutenção dos privilégios de uma pequena parcela da população que concentra quase metade do Brasil rural. Por fim, o Movimento dos Sem Terra surge em busca de lutar pela redução da desigualdade. Para isso, ele utiliza-se do direito de ocupação, o qual encontra-se implícito no texto constitucional.

Transformaciones en territorios agroexportadores y en territorios productores de alimentos. El caso de Río Negro y Canelones, Uruguay
Authors: Fernández Nion Camila , Sum Thiago , Díaz Ismael
Published: May 2023

Desde finales del siglo XX el agronegocio ha impuesto su territorialidad en el espacio agrario uruguayo mediante estrategias y procesos disímiles a nivel espacial, temporal, en los agentes que han liderado el proceso, y en los impactos y conflictos que han desencadenado. El presente artículo analiza la inserción del agronegocio y las transformaciones generadas en dos territorios con características contrastantes, territorios orientados a la producción de alimentos y territorios agroexportadores de commodities. La estrategia de investigación integró el procesamiento de información oficial y la implementación de veinte entrevistas semiestructuradas a agentes clave vinculados a la producción familiar, empresarial y vinculada al agronegocio, movimientos sociales y referentes institucionales y académicos, a los efectos de complementar la caracterización de las transformaciones e identificar elementos que tensionan las relaciones de poder y comprender los conflictos emergentes. El agronegocio ha penetrado en Uruguay mediante una estrategia legal y socialmente aceptada - compra y/o arrendamiento de tierras - lo cual ha limitado la generación de conflictos. En Río Negro, territorio de tradición agrícola-industrial y ganadera, el agronegocio ha generado alianzas con el capital local. En Canelones, territorio orientado históricamente a la producción de alimentos para el abastecimiento local, la territorialidad del agronegocio ha desencadenado importantes conflictos con la producción familiar. La modalidad de ingreso del agronegocio, la estructura agraria preexistente y el apoyo del estado uruguayo han determinado que sea la territorialidad del agronegocio el factor de mayor importancia en la generación de tensiones, incluso frente a los procesos de territorialización-desterritorialización. La inserción del agronegocio en territorios de la soberanía alimentaria ha desencadenado más conflictos que en territorios históricamente orientados a la exportación. Los conflictos en Canelones han posibilitado una transformación territorial de suma relevancia vinculada a la organización, empoderamiento de los productores de alimentos y resistencia frente al modelo del agronegocio, primer paso para consolidar territorios de la soberanía alimentaria.

O ensino do conteúdo de solos na educação do campo: uma análise da E.E.M. Paulo Freire em Mombaça- CE
Authors: Souza Maria Alyne Alves de
Published: May 2023

O solo é indispensável para a existência os seres vivos, no entanto ele nem sempre é reconhecido com tal relevância. Sendo usado de forma inadequada pode ser degradado, perder sua fertilidade natural, sofrer erosão, salinização, compactação, dentre outros. Por isso, é tarefa dos professores do ensino básico e superior, aprofundar e criar conhecimentos para cuidar e preserva-lo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo entender como o conteúdo de solos é trabalhado na educação do campo a partir da análise do PPP da E.E.E.M. Paulo Freire em Mombaça-CE e por meio de entrevistas realizadas com os educadores e educadoras da escola, visto que, o solo é elemento de grande importância para a vida de todos os seres vivos. Assim, observa-se que o conteúdo de solos está presente a todo momento no cotidiano dos educandos e educandas das escolas do campo, estando diretamente articulado à Agroecologia, que é um dos assuntos prioritários na Educação do Campo. A partir da presente pesquisa é possível afirmar que o conteúdo de solos não está presente somente no componente curricular de Geografia, mas também nos componentes de Física, Biologia, Química de forma interdisciplinar, como é sugerido pela Base Nacional Comum Curricular, estando todos eles articulados à Agroecologia.

Published: May 2023

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence worldwide. In 2017, an estimated 1.2 million people died from CKD globally. There are 713,783 CKD sufferers (0.38%) in Indonesia aged 15 years who have been registered nationally. Hemodialysis (HD) is one of three renal replacement therapies for managing CKD. Adequate vascular access is required in patients undergoing HD. Vascular access is ideal if it causes minor complications when used for hemodialysis. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a common vascular access used during HD. The main options for AVF are radiocephalic (RC) and brachiocephalic (BC) fistula, with their respective advantages and disadvantages. This cross-sectional study compares QB in patients with RC and BC fistula and with hematological parameters pre and post-HD. There were 18 RC subjects and 18 BC subjects involved in this study. Subjects were then examined for hematological parameters and QB before and after HD. The results of this study showed that QB in the RC group was not significantly different from the BC group (p=0.126). The mean comparative test showed that the levels of Hb, BUN, and SC were significantly different before and after HD both in the RC group (p=0.005; p=<0.001; p=<0.001) and BC (p=0.001; p =<0.001; p=<0.001). The correlation test results showed that QB only correlated with SC pre-HD levels (p=0.030; r=0.361). Multivariate tests showed that the decrease in BUN levels with AV fistula BC was higher than with RC (p=0.015). This study proves that QB is unrelated to the type of AV fistula used, but QB is positively correlated with serum creatinine levels in patients undergoing HD. BC fistula were also found to lower BUN levels better than RC fistula.

"Most authors agree that Human Resources is the most crucial input to any organisation. As such, scholars generally believe that Human Resource Management (HRM) practices positively impact firm performance. This belief persists because positive HRM practices strengthen competence, motivation, commitment and other employee outcomes leading to improved organisational performance. However, limited empirical evidence connects HRM practices to employee outcomes. This study investigated the impact of HRM practices on competence, commitment, job satisfaction, motivation, Cooperation with management, Cooperation with co-workers, employee presence and Compliance in the manufacturing sub-sector of South–Western Nigeria. To this end, the study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design which involved the collection of data from 381 middle-level managers of manufacturing companies in Lagos, Nigeria, selected using stratified and random sampling techniques. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyse the data. Results show that HRM practices determine and predict components of employee outcomes. In other words, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation management, occupational health and safety, and career growth and development all determine competence, commitment, job satisfaction, motivation, Cooperation with management, Cooperation with co-workers, and Presence and Compliance all in varying degrees. The study justified investment in HRM and recommended a bundled approach to applying HRM practice."

"This study empirically assessed the impact of capital market operations on Nigeria's economic growth from 1999 to 2021. The study was carried out to demonstrate the importance of effective capital market operation in the country's economic growth. The study used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) methods to empirically examine the effect of market capitalization, total new issues, and transaction value on GDP. We tested and validated the hypothesis that capital market operations have a significant impact on Nigeria's economic growth. As a result, the study recommended that the government step up efforts to create a conducive business environment that would allow domestic and foreign investors to invest in the Nigerian capital market, thereby accelerating the country's economic growth."
Summer surface air temperature proxies point to near-sea-ice-free conditions in the Arctic at 127 ka
Authors: Sime Louise C. , Sivankutty Rahul , Vallet-Malmierca Irene , de Boer Agatha M. , Sicard Marie
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The Last Interglacial (LIG) period, which had higher summer solar insolation than today, has been suggested as the last time that Arctic summers were ice free. However, the latest suite of Coupled Modelling Intercomparison Project 6 Paleoclimate (CMIP6-PMIP4) simulations of the LIG produce a wide range of Arctic summer minimum sea ice area (SIA) results, with a 30 % to 96 % reduction from the pre-industrial (PI) period. Sea ice proxies are also currently neither abundant nor consistent enough to determine the most realistic state. Here we estimate LIG minimum SIA indirectly through the use of 21 proxy records for LIG summer surface air temperature (SSAT) and 11 CMIP6-PMIP4 models for the LIG. We use two approaches. First, we use two tests to determine how skilful models are at simulating reconstructed ΔSSAT from proxy records (where Δ refers to LIG-PI). This identifies a positive correlation between model skill and the magnitude of ΔSIA: the most reliable models simulate a larger sea ice reduction. Averaging the two most skilful models yields an average SIA of 1.3×106 km2 for the LIG. This equates to a 4.5×106 km2 or 79 % SIA reduction from the PI to the LIG. Second, across the 11 models, the averaged ΔSSAT at the 21 proxy locations and the pan-Arctic average ΔSSAT are inversely correlated with ΔSIA (r=-0.86 and −0.79, respectively). In other words, the models show that a larger Arctic warming is associated with a greater sea ice reduction. Using the proxy-record-averaged ΔSSAT of 4.5±1.7 K and the relationship between ΔSSAT and ΔSIA suggests an estimated sea ice reduction of 4.2±1.4×106 km2 or about 74 % less sea ice than the PI period. The mean proxy-location ΔSSAT is well correlated with the Arctic-wide ΔSSAT north of 60∘ N (r=0.97), and this relationship is used to show that the mean proxy record ΔSSAT is equivalent to an Arctic-wide warming of 3.7±1.5 K at the LIG compared to the PI period. Applying this Arctic-wide ΔSSAT and its modelled relationship to ΔSIA, results in a similar estimate of LIG sea ice reduction of 4.1±1.2×106 km2. These LIG climatological minimum SIA of 1.3 to 1.5×106 km2 are close to the definition of a summer ice-free Arctic, which is a maximum sea ice extent of less than 1×106 km2. The results of this study thus suggest that the Arctic likely experienced a mixture of ice-free and near-ice-free summers during the LIG.
Development of Low–Cost Air Quality Stations for Next Generation Monitoring Networks: Calibration and Validation of NO2 and O3 Sensors

Published: May 2023

Abstract. A Pre–deployment calibration and a field validation of two low-cost (LC) stations equipped with O3 and NO2 metal oxide sensors were addressed. Pre–deployment calibration was performed after developing and implementing a comprehensive calibration framework including several supervised learning models, such as univariate linear and non–linear algorithms, as well as multiple linear and non–linear algorithms. Univariate linear models included linear and robust regression, while univariate non–linear models included support vector machine, random forest, and gradient boosting. Multiple models consisted of both parametric and non-parametric algorithms. Internal temperature, relative humidity and gaseous interference compounds proved to be the most suitable predictors for multiple models, as they helped effectively mitigate the impact of environmental conditions and pollutant cross-sensitivity on sensor accuracy. A feature analysis, implementing Dominance analysis, feature permutations and, SHapley Additive exPlanations method, was also performed to provide further insight into the role played by each individual predictor and its impact on sensor performances. This study demonstrated that while multiple random forest (MRF) returned higher accuracy than multiple linear regression (MLR), it did not accurately represent physical models beyond the Pre–deployment calibration dataset, so that a linear approach may overall be a more suitable solution. Furthermore, as well as being less computationally demanding and generally more suitable for non-experts, parametric models such as MLR have a defined equation that also includes a few parameters, which allows easy adjustments for possible changes over time. Thus, drift correction or periodic automatable recalibration operations can be easily scheduled, which is particularly relevant for NO2 and O3 metal oxide sensors: as demonstrated in this study, they performed well with the same linear model form, but required unique parameter values due to inter-sensor variability.
Geostrophic adjustment on the mid-latitude β-plane
Authors: Yacoby Itamar , Paldor Nathan , Gildor Hezi
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Analytical and numerical solutions of the Linearized Rotating Shallow Water Equations are combined to study the geostrophic adjustment on the mid-latitude β-plane. The adjustment is examined in zonal periodic channels of width Lᵧ = 4Rd (‘narrow’ channel, where Rd is the radius of deformation) and Lᵧ=60Rd (‘wide’ channel) for the particular initial conditions of a resting fluid with a step-like height distribution, η₀. In the one-dimensional case, where η₀ = η₀(y) we find that: (i) β affects the geostrophic state (determined from the conservation of the meridional vorticity gradient) only when b = cot (Φ₀) Rd /R ≥ 0.5 (where Φ₀ is the channel’s central latitude and R is Earth’s radius); (ii) The energy conversion ratio varies by less than 10 % when b increases from 0 to 1; (iii) In ‘wide’ channels, β affects the waves significantly even for small b (e.g. b = 0.005). (iv) For b = 0.005, harmonic waves approximate the waves in ‘narrow’ channels, and trapped waves approximate the waves in ‘wide’ channels. In the two-dimensional case, where η₀ = η₀(x) we find that: (i) At short times the spatial structure of the steady solution is similar to that on the f-plane, while at long times the steady state drifts westward at the speed of Rossby waves – harmonic Rossby waves in ‘narrow’ channels and trapped Rossby waves in ‘wide’ channels; (ii) In ‘wide’ channels, trapped wave dispersion causes the equatorward segment of the wavefront to move faster than the northern segment; (iii) The energy of Rossby waves on the β-plane approaches that of the steady-state on the f-plane; (iv) The results outlined in (iii) and (iv) of the one-dimensional case also hold in the two-dimensional case.
Technical Note: Pb-loss-aware Eruption/Deposition Age Estimation
Authors: Keller C. Brenhin
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Interpreting overdispersed crystallization and closure age spectra has become a problem of significant import in high-precision geochronology. While Bayesian eruption age estimation appears to provide one promising avenue for the statistical interpretation of such dispersed datasets, existing methods critically hinge on an assumption of fully closed-system behavior after the time of eruption. However, given the presence of two independent decay systems with distinct responses to open-system behavior, the U/Pb system provides in principle the possibility of quantifying and potentially even constraining the timing of Pb-loss. Here we present a method for Pb-loss-aware eruption age estimation, that explicitly models not only the duration of crystallization but also the timing and magnitude of Pb-loss given accurate 206Pb/238U and 207Pb/235U isotopic ratios and covariances, leading to eruption age estimates that are potentially robust to post-eruptive Pb-loss. Further applications to detrital zircon data are considered.

Abstract. The quality and quantity of soil organic matter (SOM) are
key elements that impact soil health and climate regulation by soils. The
Rock-Eval® thermal analysis technique is becoming more commonly used, as
it represents a powerful method for SOM characterization by providing
insights into bulk SOM chemistry and thermal stability. In this study, we
applied this technique on a large soil sample set from the first campaign
(2000–2009) of the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS – Réseau de mesures de la qualité des sols). Based on
our analyses of ca. 2000 composite surface (0–30 cm) samples collected across
mainland France, we observed a significant impact of land cover on both the SOM
thermal stability and elemental stoichiometry. Cropland soils had a lower
mean hydrogen index value (a proxy for the SOM H/C ratio) and a higher
thermal stability than grasslands and forests. Regarding the oxygen index (a
proxy for the SOM O/C ratio), we observed significant differences among the values for
croplands, grasslands, and forests. Positive correlations of the
temperature parameters with the clay content and pH highlight the protective effect of clay on organic matter as well as the
impact of pH on microorganisms' mineralization activity. Surprisingly, we
found weak effects of climatic parameters on the thermal stability and
stoichiometry of SOM. Our data suggest that topsoil SOM is on average more
oxidized and biogeochemically stable in croplands. More generally, the high
number and even distribution of data across the whole French territory allow one to
build a national interpretative reference for these indicators in surface
soils.
Authentic questions as prompts for productive and constructive sequences: A pragmatic approach to classroom dialogue and argumentation
Authors: Rapanta Chrysi , Macagno Fabrizio
Published: May 2023

Goal. The problem of the authenticity of teacher questions has not received sufficient attention from educational researchers interested in the intersection between dialogue and argumentation. In this paper, we adopt a definition of authentic questions as dialogical units that prompt teacher-student interactions that are both productive (i.e., several students participating) and constructive (i.e., students produce arguments of high complexity). Our goal is to analyze whether and how specific types of dialogue prompts can encourage students’ engagement in more sophisticated argumentative interactions, as manifested through the construction of high-complexity arguments. Method. We describe the implementation of our analytical approach to a large corpus of classroom interactions from five European countries. The corpus was segmented into dialogical sequences, which were then coded according to the argumentation dialogue goal expressed in the sequence. We also coded students’ arguments according to Toulmin’s elements and distinguished between low- and high-complexity arguments from a structural point of view. Findings. Our findings show the predominance of the so-called Discovery questions as prompts that are both productive and constructive and Inquiry questions as prompts of argumentative constructive interactions. We discuss the importance of these findings for teacher professional development purposes.
Effectiveness of a question formulation rubric with second-year medical students: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Eldredge Dr. Jonathan D. , Schiff Dr. Melissa A. , Langsjoen Dr.  Jens O.
Published: May 2023

Objective: The FAC (Focus, Amplify, Compose) rubric for assessing medical students’ question formulation skills normally accompanies our Evidence Based Practice (EBP) training. The combined training and assessment rubric have improved student scores significantly. How much does the rubric itself contribute to improved student scores? This study sought to measure student improvement using the rubric either with or without a linked 25-minute training session.
Methods: Randomized Controlled Trial. The authors tested the hypothesis that a 25-minute training session combined with use of a rubric would lead to higher scores than a brief explanation of this rubric alone. All 72 participating second-year medical students had a question formulation rubric briefly explained to them following a pre-test. Students in the intervention groups were taught how to formulate EBP questions for 25 minutes using the rubric followed with another 30 minutes of EBP search training. Students in the control group only received the 30 minutes of EBP search training in their small group labs. All 72 students took the post-test in which they formulated a question in response to a clinical vignette. Statistical analysis to test the hypothesis consisted of a two-sample paired t-test to measure between-group differences.
Discussion: The rubric itself unexpectedly contributed similarly to the Intervention groups students’ improvement, thereby saving scarce curricular time.
Of Love and Agency: Models of Motherhood in South Asian Diasporic Literature and Poetry
Authors: Sharma Kéah
Published: May 2023

In this essay, I will explore the literature and poetry of the South-Asian diaspora, arguing that an effective balance of tradition and agency for South Asian Canadian women is predicated on the existence of models of mothering that demonstrate choice for daughters, are communal, and create a mobilizable community for both mothers and their children. In a collection of poems by Rupi Kaur, mothering is explored in several forms, many of which succumb to damaging colonial tropes. Most promising of these models, however, are those that showcase a mother’s continued battle for potential freedom and the ways in which she demonstrates possibility for her daughter. This model is further constructed in Anita Badami’s work as mothers begin to socialize and organize in ways that propel those they mother as active agents and build communities. In the highest stage of this model, Farzana Doctor develops a model to engage in communal mothering more widely as it spurs a social movement and allows for the reclamation of individual agency. The women’s imperfect but rousing efforts to provide agency for their daughters as they navigate the challenges of being female members of the diaspora are central to each piece of literature and define the experiences of South Asian-Canadian mothers, daughters, and communities.

Authors: Cotelnic Ala
Published: May 2023

Recently, universities are under increasing public and government pressure to demonstrate the implementation of quality processes. In the present study we analyze what represents the concept of quality in higher education, how we differentiate the services offered by universities in terms of quality, what is the role of risk management in quality assurance. Several researches provided by various scientific sources, international standards in the field of quality, the experience of some foreign universities regarding the implementation of risk management are analyzed. The experience of the public institution, the Academy of Economic Studies from Moldova, was also presented, although not very extensive in the analyzed field. The conclusions we reached relate to the need to promote an effective communication in the field of quality assurance and risk management at the institutional level, the implementation of a risk culture at the institution level. Only in such conditions, the efforts made by the management of the institution can bring the expected results.

Spatial planning corporate criminal sanctions are criminal sanctions imposed on corporations as stipulated in Article 74 of Law Number 26 of 2007. The criminal sanction can be applied in controlling the planning of the territory so that there is order and the space is protected from violations of the use of the space. However, when looking at the data on zoning violations, this hope is still illusory where existing law has failed to deal with corporate violations. In addition, criminal liability has not reached the beneficiaries of the proceeds of corporate crimes so that the legal objectives are not achieved. The aim of this study is to find out what the legal implications of incomplete criminal sanctions instead of fines are for corporations in land-use offences. This research is a normative legal study with multiple approaches, including statutory approaches, case approaches, historical approaches, comparative approaches, and conceptual approaches. Legal material analysis techniques are performed in perspective. The results of the study show that the legal implication of incomplete criminal penalties instead of fines for corporations in land-use offenses is expressed only by Article 74 para. (1) to the Territorial Planning Law (UUPR) 26/2007 - Criminal sanctions for corporations. This cannot simply be operationalized because there is no regulation on the mode of committing crimes (straf modus), there are multiple interpretations that cause confusion. They lead to the non-fulfillment of the legal objectives in the article a quo.

The need for prophetic social science in Islamic religious education so that students are able to control themselves to avoid bullying. This study aims to determine the relevance of Kuntowijoyo's prophetic social concept in Islamic religious education in preventing bullying. The method used is a qualitative method using library research. Data analysis in the study used Miles and Hubberman analysis in which data analysis went through three stages, namely the data reduction stage, data display and then conclusion drawing. The result is that the prophetic social idea put forward by Kuntowijoyo has three ideas, namely Humanism, Liberation, and Transcendence. This scheme is illustrated in the prophetic social concept as follows: Humanism: the creation of a conducive environment without having to differentiate from race, gender, ethnicity, and religion. Liberation: Education can foster self-confidence in their abilities and always think when doing something in accordance with religious norms. And Transcendence: Education makes the transcendental dimension the spirit in all processes in Islamic education so that students do things based on religion and piety to Allah. So that the prophetic social concept by Kuntowijoyo.

Writing has a significant role in students’ academic and lifelong learning. Therefore, educators constantly seek novel ways to develop students’ writing skills. This study aims to examine the effect of digital storytelling on secondary school students' creative writing skills and writing self-efficacy. The participants were 15 6th grade students in Turkey. The study was carried out using a  one-group pretest-posttest model, which is one of the pre-experimental research designs. “Writing Self-Efficacy Scale” and “Creative Writing Evaluation Scale” for secondary school students were used as data collection tools. Following an instruction on how to use Wevideo tool, students created digital stories about given topics once a week, over a month period.The analysis showed that posttest scores for digital storytelling were significantly higher than pretest scores, but no significant difference was found for writing self-efficacy. These results indicated that the digital storytelling procedure applied in this study improved the participants’ creative writing skills. However, no significant variation was observed in the writing self-efficacy scores. In light of the study findings, some recommendations and implications were made to practitioners and researchers.
Learning attention-based strategies to cooperate for multi-agent path finding

Published: May 2023

Multi-agent path finding (MAPF) is a challenging multi-agent systems problem where all agents are required to effectively reach their goals concurrently with not colliding with each other and avoiding obstacles. In MAPF, it is a challenge to effectively express the observation of agents, utilize historical information, and effectively communicate with neighbor agents. To tackle these issues, in this work, we proposed a well-designed model that utilizes the local states of nearby agents and outputs an optimal action for each agent to execute. We build the local observation encoder by using residual attention CNN to extract local observations and use the Transformer architecture to build an interaction layer to combine local observations of agents. With the purpose of overcoming the deficiency of success rate, we also designed a new evaluation index, namely extra time rate (ETR). The experimental results show that our model is superior to most previous models in terms of success rate and ETR. In addition, we also completed the ablation study on the model, and the effectiveness of each component of the model was proved.

Повсеместная цифровизация бытовой жизнедеятельности, выстраиваемая на принципах мобильности, доступности, индивидуализации, постепенно охватывает и сферу образования. Одним из перспективных направлений представляется мобильное обучение, которое требует иного подхода к разработке учебников / учебных пособий. В педагогической науке данная область исследования является недостаточно изученной и требует дополнительного освещения. Цель исследования – рассмотреть теоретические аспекты мобильного обучения для выявления принципиальных качественных его характеристик, подлежащих обязательному учету в разработке концепции учебных изданий нового поколения. Исследование проводилось методами анализа специальной литературы, педагогического наблюдения, анкетирования, обобщения практического педагогического опыта. По результатам исследования авторами предложено теоретическое обоснование необходимости модернизации учебно-методического обеспечения, описан опыт проектирования дидактики на основе гуманитарно-антропологического и андрагогического подходов с применением цифровых технологий. Проблема трансформации двухмерного пространства традиционного учебника в открытую, динамичную, мобильную информационно-образовательную среду решается применением QR-кодов.

Проведено исследование ономастикона рассматриваемого произведения в исходном языке и фронтальное сопоставление составляющих его онимов в переводящем языке. Выявлены и описаны основные способы передачи имён собственных: практическое транскрибирование, графическое цитирование, семантическая адаптация, использование английских эквивалентов. Выявленные способы передачи могут быть условно разделены на творческие (семантическая адаптация) и нетворческие, выполняемые в соответствии с устоявшимися правилами и традициями (графическое цитирование, практическая транскрипция и др.). Описаны особенности передачи различных типов онимов, например, гипокористических имён, а также проведён их анализ, показавший возможность передачи синтетических русских гипокористических имён английскими аналитическими конструкциями. Установлено наличие субституций и опущения онимов при их передаче на переводящем языке. Проведён анализ роли фоновых знаний при передаче ономастикона литературного произведения на переводящем языке.

Published: May 2023

Феномен речевого воздействия занимает центральное место в рамках когнитивной лингвистики. Проблемы интерпретации стратегий речевого поведения включают различие аспекты их изучения. На сегодняшний день не существует стандартного репертуара стратегий, которым распоряжается говорящий. В силу этого изучение стратегий на конкретном примере является основным этапом коммуникативного анализа. Цель исследования –  определить роль коммуникативных стратегий языковой личности на примере руководителя высшего учебного заведения. В исследовании рассмотрены коммуникативные стратегии публичной языковой личности, с помощью многоаспектного анализа выявлены речевые особенности, являющиеся лингвокультурным маркером дискурса языковой личности. Результаты показали, что ориентация на массового читателя и публичный характер коммуникации предполагают следование определенным правилам, а использование регулятивных средств и структур актуализирует воздействующую функцию на адресата. Выявлены ценностные, социокультурные и индивидуально-авторские особенности языковой личности. Определено, что роль коммуникативных стратегий руководителя высшего учебного заведения как языковой личности заключается в трансляции базовых человеческих ценностей, таких как знание, наука, образование с целью обозначить свою позицию как руководителя, который заботится о престиже и рейтинге вуза, стремится привлечь наибольшее количество абитуриентов. Результаты полученного исследования могут быть использованы преподавателями и студентами в высших ученых заведениях  при обучении руководителей высшего звена.
