AI TOOLS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: PROS AND CONS OF UKRAINIAN AND FOREIGN PRACTICES
Authors: MARTUNYUK OLENA
Published: January 2025

The paper considers the pros and cons of integration of AI tools in foreign language teaching in Ukrainian and foreign higher education institutions. The author analyzes AI algorithms such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Reinforcement Learning (RL), and Deep Learning (DL) that enhance foreign language learning through techniques like tokenization, lemmatization, speech recognition and machine translation creating personalized lessons, real-time feedback and adaptive difficulty levels, ensuring that learners remain engaged and motivated, whereas platforms like Duolingo apply these algorithms to optimize lesson plans based on user performance. Attention is also paid to Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, that support text generation, translation and immersive language practice facilitating development of lesson materials, simulating dialogues and providing tailored feedback. It is also pointed out that AI-based language learning systems (AIBLS) employ recommendation algorithms and digital footprint tracking to enhance learning, monitor progress and adapt content accordingly; speech processing tools improve pronunciation and engagement; smart tutors offer personalized learning environments adjusting content to individual progress, provide instant feedback, simulate real conversations and support skill development in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. AIBLS apply machine learning, NLP and adaptive algorithms to create dynamic educational experiences. AIBLS also employ metacognitive scaffolding to support learners through feedback, reflection and progress tracking. Apart from the obvious benefits in education, the paper also highlights the limitations of AI tools, since their application raises concerns like data privacy, inequality, and algorithm bias. While helpful for automating basic task performance checks, AI cannot replace teachers in fostering emotional intelligence or cultural interactions. The conclusion has been drawn that effective integration of AI into language teaching is possible through adaptation of traditional methods and creation of AI-based assignments, ensuring a balanced, student-centered approach.

Authors: Kojo Johnson , Seni Jacob , Ndibalema Placidius
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to explore how asset-based approach (ABA) can be used to enhance parental engagement in Tanzanian pre-primary schools. The study was qualitative in nature in which phenomenographical design was adopted. It consisted of six focus group sessions with a total 34 parents. Individual interviews with five pre-primary school teachers, four head teachers and five chair persons of the school committees was conducted in the six selected schools in Nzega district, Tabora region, Tanzania. Transcripts were thematically analysed using simultaneous inductive open coding and deductive coding using TCABA framework as an illustrative lens. The results revealed that the shift towards asset-based approach was felt to offer better opportunities in enhancing parental engagement in children’s early learning. However, a significant number participants were unable to provide specific examples of the assets that parents were possessing which could be utilised to support children’s learning in pre-primary schools. The results further   showed that using asset-based approach was affected or enabled by different factors, which included community perspectives, lack of time time/resources and awareness. The results support the need for intervention programmes that empower parents to effectively utilise their skills, knowledge, and talents that are essential for supporting their children’s learning at home and in pre-primary schools.
Gender Stereotypes and Bias as Depicted in STEM Textbooks of School Education
Authors: Nandi Ankur , Hader Tarini , Das Tapash
Published: January 2025

STEM education is vital for fostering creativity and critical thinking among students. Researching gender bias in STEM textbooks is crucial as these materials significantly influence students’ perceptions of gender roles, career aspirations, and cultural beliefs, potentially perpetuating inequalities in STEM fields. This review paper examines five aspects of gender portrayal in STEM textbooks: (i) language and terminology, (ii) visual representation, (iii) professional and occupational roles, (iv) games and leisure activities, and (v) cultural and regional differences. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, the study analyzed 39 selected papers from databases like Web of Science, Scopus, Springer Link, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and ERIC, spanning 2004 to 2024. The findings highlight a dominant male presence in leadership roles and adventurous activities, while females are underrepresented or confined to passive and domestic settings. Female achievements are often minimized across cultures and regions. These insights offer valuable guidance for textbook developers, authors, and educators to design gender-sensitive curricula and educational materials. Future research could explore the long-term impact of such biases on students’ career choices and societal attitudes.

ONTOLOGIA E ESTRANHAMENTO RELIGIOSO NA VISÃO DE FEUERBACH E LUKÁCS DIANTE DA QUIDIDADE DO SER
Authors: Ferreira Washington Luiz Aquino , Tamiasso-Martinhon Priscilla , Sousa Celia
Published: January 2025

O propósito deste artigo é desenvolver uma abordagem crítica para examinar o papel da religião na alienação, utilizando como base teórica as filosofias materialistas de Feuerbach e Lukács, esta última enraizada no marxismo, o conceito de estranhamento religioso e sua relação com O Ser Social, destacando sua importância na compreensão do homem e do processo social em seu aspecto ontológico. Os conceitos-chave de alienação, ser genérico e ser social são utilizados como parâmetros nessa análise. De que maneira o fundamento ontológico da alienação encontrado em Feuerbach e Lukács pode interferir na quididade enquanto sujeito?  Destaca-se a visão de Feuerbach sobre a religião como uma manifestação fantástica da universalidade da espécie humana, embora suas limitações incluam a falta de reconhecimento da atividade humana como objetiva, além disso como ideia central a análise do conceito de estranhamento religioso segundo Lukács, especialmente explorado em sua obra "Para uma Ontologia do Ser Social", o texto examina como a religião é vista como uma forma específica de estranhamento e, ao mesmo tempo, como uma ideologia que reflete a divisão entre o indivíduo e a humanidade, resultante do descompasso entre o desenvolvimento das forças produtivas e o desenvolvimento da personalidade humana, seguindo a perspectiva marxiana. As reflexões foram fundamentadas em ideias e conjectura de teóricos que mostram importância na acepção e construção dos conceitos debatidos neste artigo: Religião, Ontologia, Estranhamento religioso, Alienação e quididade.

Argania spinosa, is an endangered tree species native to North Africa, primarily found in Algeria and Morocco. The objective of this work is to determine the optimal culture medium and conditions that maximize germination rates and promote healthy growth in A. spinosa seeds from two regions. Seeds from both regions were germinated on three types of media: Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, Knop medium, and gelled water, both with and without activated charcoal. We evaluated germination rates, germination speed, leaf count, root length, and aerial growth. Tindouf seeds showed superior germination rates, reaching up to 90% in Knop and gelled water media, whereas Mostaganem seeds reached a maximum of 41%. Activated charcoal improved root and aerial growth in Tindouf seeds more significantly than in Mostaganem seeds. Gelled water medium provided the best germination rates for Mostaganem seeds. These insights are useful for improving in vitro germination techniques and aiding in conservation efforts for A. spinosa.

Authors: Pradhan Bipin Bihari , Behera Biswaranjan , Prusty Sailendra Kumar
Published: January 2025

Background: Rotator cuff disorders cause shoulder pain and require accurate imaging for diagnosis and treatment. High-resolution ultrasound (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the principal modalities, however their clinical efficacy is unknown.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of USG and MRI in the detection of rotator cuff pathologies, focusing on their sensitivity, specificity, and clinical applicability.
Methods: At a Bhubaneswar, India, medical centre, 100 shoulder discomfort patients received USG and MRI for a retrospective analysis. Modality sensitivity and specificity were calculated and compared. Statistical software was used to compare the two imaging methods.
Results: With 94% sensitivity and 88% specificity, MRI outperformed USG with 82% sensitivity and 79% specificity. Partial rips were best detected by MRI. USG and MRI imaging findings correlated 0.85, suggesting significant agreement while highlighting MRI's better detail.
Conclusion: MRI is better than USG for identifying subtle and complicated rotator cuff problems. USG is still useful for early assessments and resource-limited situations due to its cost-effectiveness and dynamic evaluation. If clinical needs and resources allow, both methods can improve rotator cuff diagnosis and treatment.
Keywords: rotator cuff pathologies, MRI, ultrasound, diagnostic accuracy, shoulder pain

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of NO2 and CO Production with Sentinel 5P Tropomy Time Series Images: The Case of Torbalı and Kemalpaşa Districts of Izmir Province in Türkiye
Authors: Münevver Gizem Gümüş
Published: January 2025

Air pollution is an environmental problem that seriously impacts human health and ecosystems and is associated with anthropogenic sources such as industry, traffic, and fossil fuel use. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) are the main air pollutants that cause respiratory diseases and contribute to climate change. This study combines Sentinel-5P TROPOMI satellite data with local air quality monitoring data provided by the National Air Quality Monitoring Network (UHKIA) of the Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change to perform a spatial and temporal analysis of NO₂ and CO emissions in the Kemalpaşa and Torbalı districts of Izmir, Türkiye. For the 17 months between January 2022 and July 2023, analysis using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform revealed that emission concentrations increase in winter months due to industrial activities and domestic heating and decrease in summer months due to reduced traffic density and meteorological conditions. It was observed that CO emissions spread over a wider area, while NO₂ emissions are concentrated in industrial and traffic-oriented regions. Accuracy analyses between satellite and UHKIA data showed a general agreement, but small deviations were recorded due to atmospheric effects and resolution differences. These analyses emphasized the importance of the integrated use of satellite and ground data in air pollution monitoring. The results provide a valuable scientific basis for local governments and policymakers for air quality management and strategic decision-making, especially in the Kemalpaşa and Torbalı districts.

Climate change is altering species’ distributions globally. Increasing frequency of extreme weather and climate events (EWCEs), including heat waves, droughts, storms, floods, and fires, is one of the hallmarks of climate change. These events can trigger rapid shifts in species’ distributions by impacting dispersal, establishment, and survival of organisms. Despite species redistribution being widely studied in response to longer-term trends of climate change, few studies consider the contribution of EWCEs to range shifts. With EWCEs impacting ecologically, economically, and culturally important species, we call for integrating EWCEs into the study of biodiversity redistribution. Advances in data availability and statistical methods are improving our capacity to understand and integrate these complex processes into adaptive conservation management efforts and biodiversity assessments.
Harnessing exosomes: the future of drug delivery across biological barriers
Authors: Choudhury Rahul
Published: January 2025

A unique class of extracellular vesicles (EVs), exosomes range in size from 30 to 150 nm. They frequently travel to distant tissues inside an organism and are essential for cellular communication. Exosomes are useful in the creation of targeted therapeutics for the delivery of macromolecules and drug delivery systems because of their notable natural cell-targeting properties. Because of these features, exosomes are becoming more and more recognized as bio-derived vehicles for delivering and protecting therapeutic agents to treat various kinds of cancers (lung, pancreatic, colon, brain, and breast), viral diseases (AIDS, hepatitis B), and bacterial infections (toxoplasmosis, salmonellosis). According to research, the natural payload of exosomes can either exacerbate or lessen the severity of an illness. This calls for meticulous planning, which includes determining the exosomes' composition and source. As a result, approaches for assessing the features of intact exosomes as well as dependable and economical ways for isolating them are essential. However, several obstacles prevent them from being used in therapeutic settings. Exosome stabilization, safe and effective manufacture in large enough quantities, effective loading of therapeutic drugs into them, maximizing their removal from circulation, and scaling up production from research to clinical settings are some of these. A better comprehension of the molecular processes controlling exosome transport and activity is crucial for clinical applications. This review focuses on methods for isolating and characterizing exosomes, explores their potential as drug delivery platforms, and examines strategies to enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve their stability.

Published: January 2025

The article considers the specifics of various forms of cooperation between higher education institutions (HEIs) and employers in foreign countries and Ukraine. It is noted that cooperation with employers, while sharing common features, can take specific forms depending on the organisation of the educational process, the primary goals set for HEIs and state policy. The authors analysed the process of interaction between HEIs and labour market representatives in France, the Netherlands, and Japan. This interaction mainly involves engaging representatives of business structures in the educational process to balance the demand of the labour market for skilled specialists with the supply offered by HEIs. It is emphasised that, in organising the educational process in Ukraine, the needs of the labour market should be considered without diminishing the level of fundamental training. It is highlighted that sufficient fundamental training enables future specialists to enhance their professional level and, in the light of today's realities, to retrain and acquire related professions. The results of an online survey conducted by the authors in 2022–2023 within the framework of the research project "Implementation of university autonomy in the context of decentralisation of HEIs management, democratisation of the educational process and increased responsibility for the quality of education" on the forms and impact of cooperation between HEIs and labour market representatives are presented. The findings of the research indicate that the majority of respondents support and recognise the necessity of such cooperation, particularly in regulating enrolment volumes based on the demand of the regional labour market. The idea of involving employers in the development and modernisation of educational programmes was also supported by both academic staff and applicants to higher education.

Authors:   SSI "Institute of Educational Analytics", Irynevich Julia
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the development of education statistics in Ukraine in the context of European integration processes. Current achievements and prospects for the harmonisation of education statistics with European standards in accordance with the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine until 2027 are considered. The role of key institutions such as the State Statistical Service of Ukraine, the SSI "Institute of Educational Analytics" and the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance in collecting, processing and analysing educational data is highlighted. It is shown that educational statistics are becoming an essential tool for improving the management of educational processes, promoting integration into the European Education Area (EEA) and contributing to the development of educational strategies. An important aspect is the integration of Ukraine into the EEA through the improvement of the infrastructure for data exchange with European countries, which will broaden the access of domestic specialists to international expertise and best practices in the field of educational analytics. Special attention is paid to the improvement of the AICOM and the introduction of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, to enable more efficient management of educational processes. Key directions include the creation of public platforms to ensure access to education statistics, promote transparency and strengthen public control. The article also highlights the importance of Ukraine’s international cooperation with the EU, Eurostat, UNESCO and other organisations to participate in international studies such as PISA, TIMSS and TALIS. Such cooperation will facilitate the integration of the Ukrainian education system into the global education space. As a result, the adaptation of education statistics to European standards will improve the quality of education in Ukraine and become an important step on the country’s path towards European integration.
Sustainability in Business Security: Leveraging Analytics for Cyber Risk Mitigation
Authors: Tanvir Rahman Akash
Published: January 2025

Sustainability in business security is important when organizations must first develop strategies that will disallow short-term cyber threats while at the same time protecting organizational structures and important operations. This paper aims at identifying how analytics has been incorporated in the cybersecurity practices especially vulnerability management as a long-term security approach. For this study, based on the “vulnerability_assessment_data1.csv” the different attributes like the severity, risk score, and the time of the patch are analyzed using the descriptive and predictive analysis to find out a pattern, which is clearly missing in the current approaches. Techniques of clustering discovered even more repeated patterns in the susceptible software for more pointed actions to be taken. The study lays particular emphasis upon the implications of data-driven access in minimizing the response time and risk that has involved most vulnerability priorities. The present research outcomes reveal how analytics foster improved cybersecurity and sustainability, in terms of operational continuity with the fewest disruptions possible. Lack of an actual set of data as well as assessment of the financial consequences deserve further research exploring the integration of new datasets and considering financial capabilities of the validated model. This research also provides a literature-based argument for the longer-term application of analytics for cyber risk management, which points a direction for businesses to adopt continual and proactive security that is critically needed in a world where threats are set to increase.

Published: January 2025

Rice is a staple food and a critical crop for food security and economic stability in Niger State, Nigeria. However, achieving optimal production levels is challenged by various factors, including environmental variability, land use inefficiency, and rising production costs. Mathematical modeling offers a systematic approach to understanding and optimizing these factors to enhance yields and promote sustainable agricultural practices. A mathematical model to optimize rice production by integrating key agronomic, environmental, and economic factors were formulated. This research paper aims to predict optimal rice yields based on input variables such as rainfall, temperature, humidity, land area use and production cost using a multivariate linear regression (MLR) method. The developed model is validated with real-world data from agricultural research stations. It was observed from the analysis that predicted values were not significantly different from the observed values. The results show that R-square, Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) values were 0.96345, 0.0249 and 0.1578 respectively; indicating that approximately 96.35% of the variance in rice production can be explained by the independent variables. Due to its high level of accuracy in predicting rice yield; it can be concluded that the model can be used to determine optimum rice production in Niger state, Nigeria and provide a decision-support tool for farmers and policymakers.

Published: January 2025

This study evaluates how mining operations affect the Okobo and Odagbo populations' main sources of water in Kogi State, Nigeria. High turbidity levels were found in water samples taken from the streams, which serve as these communities' primary water sources. This impedes photosynthesis and endangers aquatic life. The elevated quantities of heavy metals, particularly iron and lead found in the water samples, exceeded the Nigerian Industrial Standard and the World Health Organisation's permissible limits for human consumption. The research draws attention to the possible health hazards connected to extended exposure to these tainted water sources. Isolating mine water runoff, putting water treatment technology into place, sprinkling water to minimise dust, and requiring mining corporations to enforce land reclamation rules are some of the recommendations for reducing pollution. This study emphasises the urgent need for comprehensive environmental impact assessments and the implementation of stricter regulations to safeguard water resources and the overall well-being of the affected communities.

Authors: Kyato Denen Dickson , Aboiyar Terhemen
Published: January 2025

In this paper, Euler polynomials were utilized to formulate a collocation method for approximating Lane-Emden equations. The approximation formulations were initialized producing truncation function. The residual functions were constructed by using the truncation function. The collocation points were substituted into the residual function to form system of equations and were solved by Matlab application fsolve or Newton-Raphson methods. The results were tabulated and compared with the Herodt (2004) results for absolute error. It was observed that the Euler polynomial is very accurate and converges faster producing zero error as compared. The study recommended in solving Lane-Emden and higher order equations.

Lithological deductions and evaluation of groundwater potentials from Geo-electrical soundings in the Bende-Ameki Formation of Ehime-Mbano Area, Southern Nigeria, was carried out by imploring the vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique. A total of nine VES points were obtained using the ABEM SAS 1000 Terrameter. The study reveals that the depth of the shallow wells in the area (upper aquifer) ranges from 12-22m and falls within the 3rd and 4th geo-electric layers with resistivity values ranging from 240m - 2500m; while the 2nd aquifer ranges from 34-45m and with range of resistivity values of 190m - 300m. The depth to the 3rd aquifer ranges from 70 120m, while that of the 4th aquifer is 130-300m. The data obtained after partial curve matching and computer iteration indicates a total of 8 - 10 geoelectric layers with inferred lithologies namely: silt, clay, fine-grained sand, medium-grained sand, coarse-grained sand and sandstone. Results show that most of the aquifers are hosted within the silts and fine-grained sands with the exception of a few locations with medium-grained and coarse-grained sands. By using the Dar-Zarrouk parameters, the overburden protective capacities of the aquifers in the study area were evaluated as poor, weak and moderate in some locations. It was concluded that in the area, sand mining (excavation) is a potential economic source except in the vicinity of VES 9.

Published: January 2025

This study discusses the importance of English language learning based on needs analysis with the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approach in non-English study programs. The questionnaire results showed that 86% of students realized the importance of English for their studies and careers, while 72% liked learning English but wanted materials that were more relevant to their fields of study. As many as 58% of students considered speaking skills the most important but difficult to master, and 67% needed more practice in writing for academic needs. The majority of students (75%) liked interactive learning methods such as group discussions and simulations, and 80% agreed that learning technology was very helpful. The needs analysis showed that students of Islamic Religious Education, Early Childhood Islamic Education, Islamic Banking, and Islamic Da'wah and Communication needed materials that were relevant to their respective academic and professional contexts, such as delivering sermons, telling stories to children, presenting Islamic financial products, and participating in interfaith discussions. In addition, students expect lecturers with pedagogical, personality, professionalism, and social competencies who can create relevant and motivating learning. With a student-centered approach, English learning becomes more engaging and supports the development of applicable skills for the future.
