VIDEO MODELING TECHNOLOGY AS A MEANS OF STUDYING
THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
IN INTERACTION WITH THEIR PARENTS
Authors: Legankova Olga , Sotsenko Tatiana
Published: November 2024

The relevance of using visual methods is connected with the
growing interest in studying and recording the achievements and life experience
of children. The aim of the study is to substantiate the use of video
modeling to study the development of preschool children in interaction with
their parents. The creation of video materials from the point of view cultural-
historical approach (L.S. Vygotsky) can be considered as a transition of the
experience of presence into the sign mediation of life experience. Joint activities
between children and parents in the process of organized creation of video
materials can be developmental and enriching (A. V. Zaporozhets). The
use of video modeling technology implied fi xation of organized child-adult
interaction in different types of activities. Based on home-recorded videos
prepared by the parents of the pupils, videos were presented where the child
performs the proposed tasks in three types of activities for each area of development.
The prepared materials were tested on a sample of students (n=),
who have experience in teaching and parenting. Respondents watched a
total of  video, lasting up to  minutes for each developmental area. The
analysis of the quality assessment of the prepared videos showed that the
best options for analyzing the results of child development are videos where
the child is represented as a subject of activity while demonstrating social,
moral, personal and speech development: they independently organize play
activities, shows and regulates speech and thinking activity, and expresses
specifi c ideas about the world. It was more diffi cult to record self-control of
physical activity, analysis and self-analysis of the emotional sphere, organization
of interaction with peers and adults. The experience demonstrated that
identifi ed diffi culties act as a potential for the development of actual stories
for the organization of productive interaction in different spheres of child
development and criteria for their analysis.

Authors: Miklyaeva Anastasia , Sutormina Nadezhda
Published: November 2024

The wide integration of digital technologies into the educational
process actualizes the problem of assimilation of knowledge obtained using
various technical devices, as well as effective ways of metacognitive regulation
in this process. The purpose of the study is to identify the ways of the
metacognitive regulation during reading a scientifi c text with digital devices
(using the example of students performing educational tasks). Methods and
sample. The experiment involved  students aged –. Students read a scientifi
c article from paper, as well as from a smartphone or computer screen.
Eye tracking technology provides the data about the time spent for working
with the text, the number of fi xations and their average duration. In addition,
students completed a questionnaire describing their metacognitive regulation
while being engaged with the text. Results. The time for working with
the text, the number of fi xations and their average duration among the three
experimental groups are positively correlated with the awareness of diffi -
culties in the reading process and effort to overcome them (.≤rs≤.).
At the same time, students who worked with a smartphone more likely reported
the regulation of diffi culties with memory and attention, and those
who worked with a computer screen and paper reported the regulation of
diffi culties related to understanding the meaning of the text. Conclusion.
The authors suggest that students use different strategies of metacognitive
regulation when reading scientifi c texts using different digital devices. This
conclusion underscores the need for a differentiated investigation into the
assimilation of information presented across different media: paper, computer
screens, and smartphones.
TEACHERS’ VIEWS ABOUT USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
IN EDUCATION OF INTELLECTUALLY
GIFTED STUDENTS
Authors: Petrova Svetlana
Published: November 2024

Digital technologies have now become essential components of
school education for all students with various educational needs and characteristics,
and also provided new opportunities and resources for education of
intellectually gifted students to take into account their unique cognitive and
personal needs. At the same time, the key factors of effective gifted education
are the teachers’ professional readiness and motivation to create the differentiated
environment, methodologies, and curriculums, using these technologies.
Due to the relevance of studying these issues, we researched the teachers’
attitudes toward using digital resources in school education of intellectually
gifted students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 
Moscow school teachers (Master’s degree students) on their beliefs about the
educational needs of intellectually gifted adolescent in the context of digital
technologies in order to interconnect teachers and students. In general, the
respondents emphasized effi ciency of digital technologies, such as autonomy,
distance (online) learning, discussion, competitions, and so on, in teaching
and supporting intellectually gifted schoolchildren, their especial curiosity,
diverse interests, high abilities, and high expectations (from self and others).
The frequently mentioned benefi ts were availability of distant materials and
consultants, like-minded persons for school and home work, and extracurricular
activities. Possible challenges and negatives of using digital technology
by gifted schoolchildren at different ages were also considered. Although all
respondents indicated positive perceptions of digital technology education
in the classroom or at home, most of them worried about their inadequacy of
technological preparation and excessive time for development of educational
materials. Our data show that the teachers need greater support in the production
of digital curriculums and materials as well as their adaptations for
gifted students in different educational situations.

groups in relationship value, relationship engagement, and emotional assessment
of relationships. «Harmonious» and «involved» young men and women
tend to be more positive about interpersonal relationships than the «distant»
ones. For adolescence from the «harmonious» group, relationships are of greater value than for adolescence from the «distant» group. «Involved» and
«distant» participants differ signifi cantly in the severity of the characteristic
of the relationship «involvement in the relationship.» Conclusion. Thus, the
features of self-concept are associated with the notion of interpersonal relationships
in adolescence.
ATTENTIONAL GUIDANCE TOWARDS AUDIOVISUAL
SYNCHRONY IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM
DISORDER (ASD): AN EYE TRACKING STUDY
Authors: Bejarano Alejandro Gomez
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the study of alterations in sensorimotor and
perceptual development in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has opened
interesting avenues of empirical inquiry and has allowed the emergence of
new explanatory hypotheses regarding the causal factors underlying the alterations
present in this disorder. In this line of research, this paper is based
on an interest in studying the relationship between the development of intersensory
perception and that of social cognition in ASD. Specifi cally, the
main objective has been to compare, by means of eye-tracking technology,
attentional orientation and recognition of audiovisual synchrony (through
linguistic judgment) of children with ASD and children with typical development
(TD), in experimental tasks with dynamic stimuli (video clips) with
social and non-social content, in which audiovisual temporal synchrony is experimentally
manipulated. As a methodological strategy, three experiments
have been designed focused on examining the recognition of audiovisual synchrony
) in speech; ) in object sounds and ) in point-light stimuli (Point
Light Display [PLD]) that simulate human movement and interactions. The
differences presented in the two groups were examined in relation to three
variables: ) Number of fi xations on the synchronous stimulus; ) time spent
looking at the synchronous stimulus; ) time elapsed until the synchronous
stimulus was identifi ed by means of verbal report. The partial results associated
with each of the groups and in each of the implemented experiments are
presented. This research contributes to the knowledge of the characteristics
of intersensory processing in ASD and the relationship that this has with the
social competence indices of each group, recorded by means of standardized
tests. The implications for evaluation and intervention that the fi ndings obtained
may have are explored in depth.
SOCIO-CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN AS A BASIS
FOR PREVENTING RISKS OF DIGITAL ADDICTION
Authors: Bolshunova Natalia , Ermolova Ekaterina , Ustinova Olga
Published: November 2024

The issue of digital addiction among children of different ages is
becoming increasingly relevant. Digitalization is realized in the emergence
of a new human habitat: virtual space, networked personality and psyche, internet
thinking, a new type of communication landscape, etc. The assessment
of the consequences of rapid immersion into this new reality for human culture
is highly ambiguous. On the one hand, digitalization indeed signifi cantly
streamlines and optimizes routine processes in various spheres of life, but on
the other hand, digitalization rapidly alters the very way of life, subsequently
affecting the psyche and personality of individuals (deontologization of
space and changing the meanings of human life). Digitalization is not just a
fundamentally new technology for organizing human life, but it entails such
civilizational processes that can result in profound socio-cultural changes in
the ontology of humankind. The aim of this review was to substantiate the
role of socio-cultural development of children as the foundation for preventing
the negative consequences of digitalization. Research on the attitudes towards
digital devices among children of different ages and their parents indicates
that children, teenagers, and young adults actively engaged with these
devices exhibit personality traits that can be viewed as socio-cultural (intellectualization
of the emotional sphere, specifi city of values and communications,
more pronounced egocentricity, learned helplessness, etc.). Applied
studies of attitude towards digital devices by children at different ages and
their parents indicate that children, adolescents and young people involved
in active interaction with digital devices are distinguished by personal characteristics
that can be considered as socio-cultural (intellectualization of the
emotional sphere, the specifi city of values and types of communication, more pronounced egocentricity, learned helplessness, etc.). At the same time, our
research aimed at identifying the signifi cance of socio-cultural upbringing indicates
the possibility of mitigating undesirable changes in the development
of «digital» children. Socio-cultural education should be organized with a
view to updating spiritual and moral meanings and values and taking into
account the specifi cs of children’s subculture. The review considers variants
of organization of socio-cultural development of children at different ages, as
well as tools for the development of resistance to digital pressure.

Investigating the effects of colchicine on seed germination and morphological traits in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subs. durum Desf.)
Authors: Ahmad Khah Mushtaq
Published: November 2024

A broader genetic diversity holds great promise for enhancing the productivity of durum wheat, especially under challenging environmental stressors. Establishing an improved genetic pool through the pre-treatment of durum wheat seeds with antimitotic agents, like colchicine, could play a pivotal role in boosting seed germination, seedling growth, morphological characteristics, and overall yield. This study explored the impact of colchicine on seed germination, growth, and morphological traits in two durum wheat cultivars (PDW-233 and DDW-47). For the experiment, presoaked seeds from each cultivar were exposed to different colchicine concentrations (0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%) over an 8-hour period. Quantitative traits such as germination percentage, plant survival rate, plant height, tiller number per plant, seeds per spike, and 1000-grain weight were meticulously measured in the treated plants. The results revealed considerable variability in these quantitative traits across the different colchicine treatments in both wheat varieties in the M1 generation. Significant alterations were observed across various concentrations, indicating colchicine’s potential for inducing genetic diversity within a single generation. These findings underscore the effectiveness of colchicine as a mutagenic agent capable of stimulating notable genetic variation, which, with precise selection, can lead to the identification and development of promising high-yield, stress-tolerant mutants in durum wheat. The results of this study suggest that rigorous selection and further breeding of desirable mutants could result in significantly improved and high-yielding durum wheat lines in subsequent generations. Thus, this approach may offer a viable pathway for enhancing durum wheat’s genetic resilience and productivity.

Authors: Jakandy Khaled , Eljaafari Wafa ,   The Libyan Higher Technical Centre for Training and Production, Alwakwak Najla ,   Open University Libya
Published: November 2024

Dual-phase (DP) steels are a subset of high-strength, low-alloy steels that exhibit a unique balance of strength and ductility due to their dual microstructure of ferrite and martensite. This study investigates the effects of varying martensite volume fractions on the mechanical properties of DP steel by preparing samples with martensite contents from 20% to 50%, achieved through intercritical annealing at temperatures between Ac1 and Ac3, followed by quenching in ice-brine. The mechanical properties of these samples were analyzed using optical microscopy, hardness tests, and impact toughness measurements. Results reveal that increasing the martensite volume fraction enhances both hardness and impact toughness, indicating that adjusting heat treatment parameters can optimize DP steels for strength-critical applications. This study provides insight into the microstructural factors influencing DP steel properties and highlights effective processing routes for tailoring material performance. Keywords: Dual-Phase Steel, Microstructure, Heat treatment, Mechanical properties.

Published: November 2024

Pakistan is a vulnerable country in terms of both climate change and food security. With respect to food security, climate change can potentially affect crop production and access to affordable food. This research examined the adoption of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) through five key practices: i) balanced use of chemicals, ii) integrated pest management, iii) formal irrigation techniques, iv) knowledge of climate smart varieties, and v) change in crop calendar. The adoption of these CSA practices is assessed for farmers of wheat (a major crop in the food basket of Pakistan). The determinants of adoption were estimated using the Probit model. With the help of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) farm efficiency (technical) is calculated employing the survey of 384 farmers from Punjab. The results of the study suggest that only 17.4 percent of the farmers are adopters of CSA practices. The determinants, like farmer education, income, land ownership, etc., have a positive impact on adoption. Whereas age, land use, and distance from nearby city centers have negative associations with adoption. Based on the results and outcomes of the study, CSA practices are critical and hold the key to improving food security in the country. Adoption of CSA practices can help in attenuating the vulnerabilities of farmers to climate change.

Published: November 2024

This paper explores the complex dynamics of Greece’s banking system amid the financial crisis that deeply impacted both the nation and the global economy. Anchored in two primary objectives, the research investigates the roots of the crisis that destabilized the Greek financial sector and assesses the broader implications of the eurozone crisis, which reverberated internationally. This analysis reveals a confluence of domestic and global catalysts that spurred a severe credit contraction and disruption within Greece’s banking industry. In response to the unfolding crisis, Greek banks undertook an extensive, globally-oriented examination, utilizing data from major financial centers worldwide to mitigate the crisis’s impact and foster resilience. The study also expands its scope to examine the cross-border interconnectedness of the financial system, which allowed actions in other countries to amplify the economic turmoil in Greece. This work further emphasizes the humanitarian consequences of economic crises, addressing the societal and personal hardships endured and advocating for empathy as a crucial component of economic recovery. Ultimately, this research underscores the need for a global perspective, resilience strategies, and compassionate policies to effectively manage and recover from financial crises.

Published: November 2024

In 2023, the World Economic Forum reported the existence of high-severity global risks in both the short and long term, including climate change, natural disasters and biodiversity loss. In response, Clive L. Spash, a scholar specializing in ecosocial issues, has proposed a paradigm shift that considers the interconnection between ecological, economic, and social challenges, advocating for approaches that go beyond the positivistic approach of orthodox economics. He refers to this approach as Social Ecological Economics (SEE), a school of thought that has received limited attention, evident from the scarcity of publications on the subject. In light of this, the objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the key elements that define Social Ecological Economics as an alternative field within ecological thought. To achieve this, a literature review was conducted, employing open and in vivo coding using Atlas.ti 9 software. The findings identify the core components of Social Ecological Economics, organized into categories such as background, characteristics, dimensions, problems, criticisms, foundations, and proposals. These categories highlight the distinctive identity of this school. As this study is exploratory in nature, a future research agenda is proposed to further examine the relevance of this approach in tackling pressing global issues.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship of three variables, namely: purpose driven organization (PDO), organizational capability for change (OC) in shaping sustainable organizational performance (OOP) through the framework of dynamic capability theory as a grand theory. Muhammadiyah as one of the largest religious organizations in Indonesia has for more than a hundred years owned and managed the most non-profit private hospitals in the world. Thus, Muhammadiyah Hospital is a model of social entrepreneurship organization (SEO). The study was conducted with primary data through interviews with 219 top management respondents at 111 Muhammadiyah hospitals in Indonesia (89.5% of the population). The analysis method used was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Maximum Likelihood Estimation.  The results found that organizational goals and organizational capacity to change positively influence each other in shaping hospital organizational performance in a sustainable manner. The increase in organizational goals and organizational capacity to change also increases the performance of hospital organizations on an ongoing basis. The results of the analysis of the effect of the mediating variable of organizational capacity to change on organizational goals in influencing the performance of Muhammadiyah Hospitals, showed an increase in organizational goals as the mediating variable of organizational capacity to change increased and improved the performance of Muhammadiyah Hospitals. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to strengthen the internalization of hospital service development goals to all stakeholders of the hospital organization because it can make a positive contribution to hospital performance. The ability of Muhammadiyah as the owner and directors of the hospital to deal with change also needs to be continuously strengthened as it further strengthens the contribution in improving hospital performance in a sustainable manner.
