Prediction in reading: A review of predictability effects, their theoretical implications, and beyond
Authors: Wong Roslyn , Reichle Erik , Veldre Aaron
Published: September 2024

Historically, prediction during reading has been considered an inefficient and cognitively expensive processing mechanism given the inherently generative nature of language, which allows upcoming text to unfold in an infinite number of possible ways. This article provides an accessible and comprehensive review of the psycholinguistic research that, over the past forty or so years, has investigated whether readers are capable of generating predictions during reading, typically via experiments on the effects of predictability (that is, how well a word can be predicted from its prior context). Five theoretically important issues are addressed: What is the best measure of predictability? What is the functional relationship between predictability and processing difficulty? What stage(s) of processing does predictability affect? Are predictability effects ubiquitous? What processes do predictability effects actually reflect? Insights from computational models of reading about how predictability manifests itself to facilitate the reading of text are also discussed. This review concludes by arguing that effects of predictability can, to a certain extent, be taken as demonstrating evidence that prediction is an important, but flexible, component of real-time language comprehension, in line with broader predictive accounts of cognitive functioning. However, converging evidence, especially from concurrent eye-tracking and brain-imaging methods, is necessary to refine theories of prediction.
Public Opinion on Civil War in the USA as of Mid-2024: Findings from a Nationally Representative Survey
Authors: Wintemute Garen J. , Li Yueju , Wright Mona , Crawford Andrew , Tomsich Elizabeth A.
Published: September 2024

Background: In 2023, Wave 2 of an annual, nationally representative longitudinal survey found a concerning level of agreement that civil war was likely in the United States and, among those who agreed, widespread belief that civil war was needed. This study updates those findings to this election year and explores respondents’ predicted involvement in such a conflict. Methods: Findings are from Wave 3, conducted May 23-June 14, 2024; participants were members of Ipsos KnowledgePanel. All respondents to prior waves who remained in KnowledgePanel were invited to participate; to facilitate comparison with the 2023 findings, this analysis is restricted to Wave 3 respondents who had responded to both Wave 1 and Wave 2. Outcomes are expressed as weighted proportions and adjusted prevalence differences, with p-values adjusted for the false discovery rate and reported as q-values. Results: The Wave 3 completion rate was 88.4% overall and 91.6% for respondents to Wave 2; there were 8185 respondents in the analytic sample. After weighting, half the sample was female (50.6%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 49.1%, 52.1%); the weighted mean (± standard deviation) age was 50.8 (16.4) years. Few respondents agreed strongly or very strongly that “in the next few years, there will be civil war in the United States” (6.5%, 95% CI 5.7%, 7.3%) or that “the United States needs a civil war to set things right” (3.6%, 95% CI 3.0%, 4.2%). These prevalences were higher among subsets of respondents having characteristics previously associated with increased support for and willingness to commit political violence. A large majority (84.2%, 95% CI 83.1%, 85.3%) considered it not likely that they would participate as a combatant if civil war did occur. Of the 3.7% (95% CI, 3.1%, 4.3%) who thought it very or extremely likely that they would be combatants, 44.5% (95% CI, 36.5%, 52.6%) reported that their position would convert to not likely if this were urged by family members, 23.4% (95% CI, 16.7%, 30.1%) if by friends, 30.5% (95% CI, 23.0%, 38.0%) if by a respected religious leader, 26.3% (95% CI, 19.4%, 33.3%) if by a respected elected official or other public figure, and 23.6% (95% CI, 16.4%, 30.8%) if by a respected news or social media source. Findings were similar for respondents who additionally reported that it was very or extremely likely that they would “kill a combatant from the opposing side.”Conclusions: In mid-2024, the expectation that civil war was likely and the belief that it was needed were uncommon and were unchanged from 2023. Those expecting to participate as combatants reported openness to change in response to input from many sources. These findings can help guide prevention efforts.
Instagramming politics: Analyzing politicians’ day-to-day activities on social media
Authors: Wallaschek Stefan , Fuge Lara
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the use of Instagram by German members of parliament in non-campaign times. Based on the literature on visual analysis as well as social media research, we investigate what politicians post and how they use the different features of social media platforms and Instagram in particular. First, we demonstrate that German national MPs are strongly present on Instagram across parties, gender and age groups which is why we, in a second step, closely examine the Instagram activities (N=1279) of 24 German national MPs, using a pre-defined codebook. We show that MPs predominately display behind-the-scenes images as well as state their opinion on political issues. The visibility of issues strongly depends on parties’ issue ownership and on contextual factors. Furthermore, we highlight that younger MPs have a more sophisticated use of Instagram and integrate the social media platform more strongly into their daily political activities.

Malaria is a significant public health burden in Nigeria, accounting for a substantial number of cases and deaths annually. Regrettably, the Malaria disease burden in line with the WHO (2023) report showed that there were 249 million cases of malaria in 2022 when compared to 244 million cases in 2021 and the number of malaria deaths stood at 608,000 in 2022 compared to 610 000 in 2021. It is highly appalling that among the list of four African countries that accounted for just over half of all malaria deaths worldwide, Nigeria is leading with the limited data provided at 26.8%, followed by the Democratic Republic of the Congo (12.3%), Uganda (5.1%) and Mozambique (4.2%) (WHO, 2023)

Introduction to Solidarity Politics: the (Re)activation of European-Latin American Solidarities
Authors: Grimaldi Anna , Marty Samira
Published: September 2024

Our proposal for this special issue was inspired by the breadth of commemorations we were witnessing in the lead-up to September 11th, 2023, the 50th anniversary of the military coup that has cast a shadow over Chileans until today. Seeking to avoid repeating the question of where, how, and between whom European-Latin American solidarity takes and has taken place from its inception, we intended this special issue to go beyond the question of chronological memory and historiography to rethink the cyclical and reiterative nature of these solidarities rooted in the Cold War. From the unique vantage point of living with the third generation of Chile’s exile diaspora, we wanted to revisit the current-day vernaculars and practices of European-Latin American relations through concepts of translocal and transgenerational solidarity. Similarly, at a time when older categories of internationalism and anti-imperialism have taken on entirely new meanings for protest movements and social justice activism, adapted definitions of the vocabulary surrounding human rights, solidarity, and democracy play an increasingly central role in activism narratives and need to be more thoroughly scrutinised.

1000 й 1 слово, або перший досвід словника-мінімуму для вивчення української мови як іноземної на рівні А1
Authors: Antoniv Oleksandra
Published: September 2024

The article examines the structure and approaches to compiling the lexical minimum for the A1 level of Ukrainian as a foreign language. Previous studies on the creation of language minimums, as well as the language material of the analyzed dictionary, have been researched regarding the compliance of the study stage with the Standardized requirements for the Ukrainian language as a foreign language. The article emphasizes the significance of the work carried out by author’s colleagues. The dictionary contains a selected number of lexemes, as well as communicatively oriented examples of the use of these lexemes in sentences. The extensive experience of working with international students is evidenced by the author’s attention to the dictionary, not only in terms of vocabulary and grammar but also the emphasis on words and the use of various intonation constructions in the examples, which is especially important at the initial stage of language learning. The thematic catalog of the dictionary proves to be helpful.

Authors: Kolibaba Larysa , Romaniuk Svitlana , Fursa Valentyna
Published: September 2024

The article analyses the changes that occurred in the ways of official naming of persons in the Ukrainian literary language of the 21st century. The reasons for these changes have been clarified, substantiated and evaluated from the point of view of practical expediency. Two- and three-component anthroponomic models of official names of persons were used as the material for the study. They were selected for the period 2000–2022 from written texts of one functional and stylistic sphere of Ukrainian language practice, namely official and business discourse, in case of which the use of official names of persons is mandatory. The typical manifestations of trends in the use of patronyms in the Ukrainian literary language of the 21st century are comprehensively characterized. The regularities of the use of anthroponomic models depending on the functional and stylistic sphere of language practice are presented. This article makes an attempt to predict the future trends of using patronymics in modern language practice.
Репрезентація життєвого шляху людини у прислівʼях та приказках із семантично протилежними компонентами (на матеріалі польської мови)
Authors: Moroz Tetiana
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the scholarly works devoted to the main aspects of human existence and delves into Polish proverbs and sayings with semantically opposite components that indicate the human life path. Taking into account the semantics of the paremic units, five thematic groups have been distinguished which most clearly reflect the processes of human existence, human destiny, life experience and human labor activity, as well as human existence in time space. It has been discovered that the “Human Fate” TG includes the largest number of Polish paraphrases with semantically opposite components, while the “Human Labor Activity” TG has the smallest number. As the analysis of the actual material has shown, the image of fate in Polish proverbs and sayings is most often represented by such lexemes as fortuna, dola and los.

Published: September 2024

Technical education is crucial for Pakistan's economic progress, providing earning skills and employment opportunities. However, many people focus on earning degrees instead of focusing on technical education. A study was conducted at two female TEVTA public educational institutes in Faisalabad, focusing on computer appliance courses. The study found that vocational educational institutes improve skills through learning by doing with, while technological gadgets are the second-ranking skill. Basic level courses are the third-ranking skill. Technical and vocational institutes play a significant role in developing students' confidence and changing their lives. The study suggests that high authorities should manage educational resources in these institutes to improve the educational quality. The study highlights the need for higher authorities to address the lack of interest in technical education among head teachers and students.
Sociocultural influences on primary teachers implementing TouchTimes
Authors: Bakos Sandy
Published: September 2024

In this article, I share case studies of two primary school teachers (K–5) in British Columbia, Canada who were interviewed after their implementation of TouchTimes (hereafter, TT) in their mathematics classes. TT is a multi-touch digital application that is designed for users to create and interact with multiplicative situations kinaesthetically through their fingertips on an iPad screen. Using the theoretical constructs of double instrumental genesis, instrumental distance and didactical landmarks, I identify and highlight sociocultural influences described by each of the teachers as being impactful on their integration of this digital technology into their mathematics teaching. These influences included other teachers and the researchers who were part of a larger research project involving TT, as well as the students in each of the case study teachers’ classes. My analysis indicates the multi-faceted and complex nature of the process of double instrumental genesis that teachers undergo when implementing digital technology and how sociocultural factors impact teachers’ personal and professional instrumental geneses.

Published: September 2024

The method of obtaining a solid solution powder of uranium-plutonium oxides (with 38% plutonium content) from the AUPuC pulp of the process (ammonium uranyl-plutonyl carbonate) using microwave radiation in reducing and atmospheric environments was proposed and tested at the laboratory level. For research purposes, the pulp obtained by coprecipitation of uranium and plutonium from nitrate solution (stripping product simulator) was prepared in advance. The process consists of three main stages: oxidation of Pu(IV) to Pu(VI), precipitation, and conversion in a laboratory microwave unit. According to the X-ray phase analysis, the powder obtained in a reducing atmosphere is a solid cubic solution (UxPu1–x)O2. The powder obtained in an atmospheric environment is a mixture of two oxides, PuO2 and U3O8. Scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis of the powder obtained in an atmospheric environment showed a fairly uniform distribution of U, Pu, and O in the solid phase.

Authors: Kulemin V. V. , Kulyukhin S. A.
Published: September 2024

Thepossibility of using the polymeric sorbent Polysorb-1 for the decontaminationof nitric acid solutions from organophosphorus compounds, including tributyl phosphate(TBP), and hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD) was studied. It has been shownthat the purification of nitric acid solutions containing organophosphorus compounds,HCBD, U(VI), and Pu(IV) with the Polysorb-1 sorbent under dynamicconditions makes it possible to reduce the phosphorus content to~2 mg/dm3and less and the HCBD content to0.05 mg/dm3 or less. In this case, the sorption of U(VI) and Pu(IV) on this sorbent does not occur. Schemes for the regeneration of the Polysorb-1 sorbent to remove TBP and HCBD by vacuum distillation and live steam stripping are considered. The optimal temperature of the process was chosen equal to 170°C.

The content of237Np,239,240Pu, and241Am in seawater, suspended matter, and bottom sediment cores of the Ussuri and Amur Bays, sampled in July 2021 and August 2022, was analyzed. The activity concentrations of237Np,239,240Pu, and241Am in the water of Peter the Great Bay were determined for the first time and were found to be equal to (19–105) × 10–3, 2.0–5.3, and 24.1–33.5 mBq/m3, respectively. The activity concentrations as well as the239Pu/240Pu isotope ratio (~0.18) in the bottom sediments definitely indicate that global fallout is the main source of plutonium in the investigated territory. The sedimentation rates were determined for the Amur Bay (in the Razdolnaya River estuary), 0.9 mm/year, and for the Ussuri Bay, 4.1 mm/year. Actinide transfer coefficients were determined for Peter the Great Bay in the system dissolved forms, including colloids–suspended matter–bottom sediment.

Authors: Rantala Heikki , Leskinen Petri , Peura Lilli , Hyvönen Eero
Published: September 2024

This paper presents how relations or associations between entities, such as persons and places in cultural heritage knowledge graphs, can be searched and analyzed using faceted search and visualizations. Faceted search using well-formed ontologies allows search and comparison of relative numbers in associations of groups of entities, such as artists from different countries, and can reveal patterns of interest in the data. This papers presents examples of how this can be done in practice, how the associations can be conceptualized in different ways that affect the performance of the search, and how the associations can be analyzed. The concept of faceted relational search is examined through case studies including searching relations in collections of biographies from various European countries, relations in the Union List of Artist Names (ULAN) thesaurus, and relations formed by links between Wikipedia pages of persons.

Resultados: A PMR no período estudado foi 14,0±4,9 para o AVC; 7,0±5,3 para o EAM; 53,0±13,1 para a neoplasia; 7,0±5,7 para a pneumonia. A PMR do termo neoplasia foi significativamente superior (p<0,01) a todos os outros termos, com padrão de pesquisa constante. Os termos AVC e EAM apresentaram um pico de pesquisa, correspondendo a momentos em que figuras públicas foram diagnosticadas com essa patologia. Não se verificou aumento significativo da PMR desses termos nas semanas de comemoração/campanhas anuais realizadas pelas sociedades científicas correspondentes. Conclusões: As campanhas de sensibilização, inequivocamente importantes, carecem de tradução nos níveis de interesse digital. É fundamental investir em estratégias de prevenção que tenham por base a promoção da literacia em saúde.

Published: September 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı Covid-19 pandemisi nedeniyle aksayan yüz yüze eğitim sonrasında öğrencilerin sorumluluk bilincine ilişkin öğretmen görüşlerinin incelenmesidir. Niteliksel yaklaşımla yürütülen çalışmada olgu bilim modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıfları okutan 15 sınıf öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplamak için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. İki bölümden oluşan görüşme formunun birinci bölümünde katılımcıların kişisel bilgilerine (cinsiyet, kıdem yılı, öğrenim durumu ve okutulan sınıf düzeyi) yönelik sorulara yer verilmiş, ikinci bölümde ise katılımcılara uzaktan eğitimin öğrencilerdeki sorumluluk bilincine etkilerini tespit etmeye yönelik üç açık uçlu soru yöneltilmiştir. Araştırmada verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. İçerik analizi sürecinde, elde edilen veriler araştırmacılar tarafından kodlanmış, tema ve alt temalara ayrılmış ve elde edilen bulgular yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre sınıf öğretmenleri, pandemi öncesinde öğrencilerine sorumluluk bilinci kazandırmak için yapılan etkinlikleri “Sınıf içi etkinlikler” ve “Sınıf dışı etkinlikler” olmak üzere iki şekilde sınıflandırmıştır. Diğer bir bulguda ise sınıf öğretmenlerinin uzaktan eğitimin öğrencilerdeki sorumluluk bilincine yönelik etkilerini “Olumlu etkiler” ve “Olumsuz etkiler” olmak üzere iki şekilde sınıflandırdığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca sınıf öğretmenleri, pandemi sonrası öğrencilerin sorumluluk bilinçlerinin yeniden kazandırılması için yaptıkları etkinlikleri “Çalışma alışkanlığını kazandırma”, “İletişim becerilerini geliştirme”, “Geribildirim verme”, “Motivasyonu arttırma çalışmaları” ve “Sınıf kurallarına uyum çalışmaları” olmak üzere beş ayrı kategoride sınıflandırmıştır.

2020 yılı başlarında tüm dünyada etkili olan Covid-19 küresel salgını birçok sektör üzerinde etkili olmuş, insanların yaşama alışkanlıklarını değiştirmiştir. Salgın etkileri 2021 yılı sonlarına doğru normalleşmelere tabi olsa da dolaylı etkilerinin daha ne kadar süreceği yapılacak kapsamlı ve özel araştırmalarla ortaya çıkarılabilecektir. Bu çalışmada en önemli kültürel turizm şehirlerinden birisi olan İstanbul’da bulunan kamu müzelerinin ziyaretçi sayıları analiz edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda 16 adet kamu müzesinin 2014 – 2021 yılları arasındaki ziyaretçi sayıları analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme, 2020 yılında Türkiye’de alınan pandemi önlemlerinin müze ziyaretçi sayılarına önemli ölçüde etki ettikleri gözlemlenmiştir. Pandemi yanında 2016 yılında müze ziyaretçi sayılarında büyük düşüşlerin olduğu görülmüştür. 2016 yılı ziyaretçi sayısı düşüşleri askeri darbe kalkışmasına bağlanmış ve kalkışma etkileri ile pandemi etkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Özellikle böyle dönemlerde müze ziyaretinin arttırılması için müzelerin sanal tur ve sosyal medya araçlarını yaygın bir şekilde kullanılması önerilmektedir. İstanbul da bulunan 13 müzede yapılan araştırmaya göre elde edilen veriler ışığında ziyaretçi sayısını ve kültür turizmi içerisinde müzelerin önemini göstermek amacı ile müze yöneticilerine uygulanabilirliği yüksek olan önerilere yer verilmiştir.

Objetivou realizar a caracterização do queijo azul com aplicação de quitosana. Para isto foram produzidos seis queijos azuis, sendo três controles (sem quitosana) e três tratamentos com quitosana. Foi realizada análise sensorial com 90 dias de maturação, análises microbiológicas e físico-químicas dos queijos azuis produzidos no tempo 0 de produção e com 60, 90 e 120 dias de maturação. Na análise sensorial houve diferença entre os queijos sem e com quitosana no sabor salgado, sendo o queijo com quitosana mais bem avaliado, apresentando pontuação de 6,40, na escala hedônica de 1 a 9 pontos, contra 5,85 pontos do queijo sem quitosana. Nas análises microbiológicas, os queijos azuis com quitosana não apresentaram crescimento de microrganismo patogênico. Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos para análise de gordura no extrato seco, com valores médios de 55,24 e 55,20 % para os queijos sem e com quitosana, respectivamente. O teor médio de umidade foi de 51,75 e 49,26 % para queijos sem e com quitosana, nesta ordem, apresentando diferença entre os tratamentos. A presença da quitosana favoreceu o sabor salgado do queijo azul e colaborou com a qualidade microbiológica deste produto sem comprometer a atividade do Penicillium roqueforti.

Published: September 2024

Leadership refers to the ability and capacity to direct, inspire and influence individuals or groups to achieve a common goal. However, leadership is a multifaceted concept that covers a wide range of qualities, behaviors and communication skills exhibited by individuals who are in a position of authority and naturally assume the leadership role. Communication skills are the ability to effectively and efficiently convey information, thoughts, ideas and feelings to others through verbal, non-verbal, written or visual elements. The combination of these components brings success in both personal and social interactions. One of the factors behind the success of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who built a modern, democratic and secular nation-state from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, is that he had both leadership and effective communication qualities. Atatürk has always been an example to both his nation and the world with these qualities. These talents of his were instrumental in shaping modern Turkey, in putting forward the vision of the nation, in implementing bold reforms, in building a state after struggles and in instilling a sense of national unity and solidarity. Turkish people has made him a national hero while being respected by the world. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's intellectual, political, charismatic, transformative, democratic and autocratic leadership types and his communication skills. In order to determine the above-mentioned characteristics, firstly, Atatürk's life and some of the revolutions he made were included. Then, in order to determine his leadership characteristics, his actions in the context of leadership theories were discussed. Afterwards, some of their behaviours were examined within the scope of basic communication skills in order to understand their communication skills. In the study, the descriptive research method, which is a method that aims to reveal the relationships between events by evaluating existing or past information in line with standards, was used. As a result of the examination, it was concluded that Atatürk had all of the basic leadership qualities and effective communication skills.

Published: September 2024

The article examines an important challenge for higher education in Ukraine – the decrease in the number of young people and students of higher education. Not only the population in general is aging, but the average age of those seeking education is also rising and requirements for continuous education are emerging. In the context of demographic dynamics, the article emphasizes the importance of strategic planning to ensure quality and affordable higher education in Ukraine. This includes not only adaptation to new conditions, but also the development of innovative approaches aimed at ensuring efficiency and compliance with the needs of modern society. The article notes the importance of personalization of the educational process and flexibility in programs and also emphasizes the need for universities to cooperate with employers and develop professional networks to ensure the interaction of students with the business sphere. The analysis shows that demographic trends have a significant impact on the demand for educational services and the structure of the student environment. An important aspect is the need to understand the diversity of the student body and adapt strategies for different populations. A differentiated approach allows for the availability of higher education and the development of unique programs for different categories of students. Demographic transformations, such as changes in the size and structure of the population, affect the demand for educational services and require flexibility in the management of educational institutions to effectively respond to dynamic changes in society. Demographic factors allow better targeting of resources and the development of programs that meet the real needs of students. Strategic planning of higher education must take these changes to effectively adapt programs and resources to new conditions. Special attention is paid to the differentiation of the student body and the creation of conditions for the success of different population groups. It is noted that effective strategic planning of higher education requires a deep understanding of demographic and sociocultural realities. The crucial role of higher education in the demographic policy of the state is emphasized. The general conclusion is that the strategic planning of higher education should be flexible, deeply informed by demographic realities and aimed at creating a competitive and socially responsible educational environment.
