Bakery products have an unstable heterogeneous structure that needs stabilization. The nutrient composition of these products, in most cases, is unbalanced: it is characterized by a high content of calories and carbohydrates. At the same time, the content of protein, fat, dietary fiber (fiber), vitamins, macro- and microelements is low. This leads to the search for raw materials with high functional and technological potential and with an attractive nutrient profile. The expediency of using in the technologies of bakery products a secondary product of processing sunflower seeds – flour from the extruded kernel of sunflower seeds (FESSK) has been proved. Its nutrient profile has been investigated. A high protein content (38.73 %) with a well-balanced amino acid composition (10 essential and 9 non-essential amino acids) increases the biological value of FESSK. The content of fat (4.87 %), rich in unsaturated fatty acids (16 fatty acids), enriches the nutritional profile of FESSK. The high ash content (8.0 %) (22 elements were found) and the presence of 12 vitamins (92.3 % of the total amount of vitamins) indicates a high biological value of FESSK. It was found that the addition of FESSK in the amount of 10.0 % to the mass of wheat flour increases the humidity by 0.5–1.2 %; reduces acidity by 0.5–1.2°; increases porosity by 7.0–11.0 %; increases the specific volume by 1.12–1.26 cm3/g. It reduces crumbliness of the crumb by 2.0–2.2 times, QMAFAnM – by 4.0–4.8 times, and increases the period of preservation of bread freshness by 1.57–1.77 times

Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Filkowska Paulina
Published: March 2023

Water scarcity is an area of disputes between many states. Generally, these conflicts occur as a result of competition for water resources. They are especially visible in underdeveloped regions, such as Africa or the Middle East. Central Asia, the five republics established after the collapse of the USSR, is also an area exposed to conflicts. An example of such conflict can be the construction of the Rogun dam on Vakhsh river in Tajikistan. The project caused a lot of controversy and further construction fueled them even more. The aim of the paper is to present the conflict over the Rogun dam on the Vakhsh river in Tajikistan as an example of a conflict over water resources in Central Asia. The article presents the genesis and essence of the dispute, as well as attempts to resolve the conflict.

Authors:   Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Niemiec Jan
Published: March 2023

The scientific aim of this paper is to analyse and evaluate actions taken by Turkey’s leading politicians with regard to the Western Balkan states (i.e. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the Justice and Development Party came to power in 2002, Turkey has attempted to increase its international influence through diplomatic, economic and cultural measures. Western Balkans region, with which Turks have historical and ethnic ties, is one of the key areas in AKP’s doctrine. Adopting image theory in international relations as the theoretical foundation, this research examines implementation of Turkish foreign policy in the Western Balkans in times of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic. By employing available original Turkish sources (academic publications, public reports, press releases), the main objectives of Turkey’s political strategy towards the region have been determined. Detailed analysis of official statements and speeches of Turkish policy-makers was also fundamental for this study. In this context, the values and symbols to which the AKP government refers in its activities in the Western Balkans have been identified. Based on content analysis, comparative analysis and political discourse analysis, this research seeks to explain the rationale of Turkish actions in recent months. As a conclusion, future prospects for Turkey’s involvement in the Western Balkans have been presented and discussed.
Porucznik Jerzy Rożałowski (1912–1944?) – kawalerzysta i żołnierz konspiracji
Authors: Ceglarek Michał
Published: March 2023

The aim of this article is to present the biography of a forgotten officer of the Polish Army – Jerzy Rożałowski, who, after graduating from the Cavalry Cadet School in Grudziądz, started his service in the 1st Cavalry Regiment of Krechowiecki. In the years preceding the outbreak of World War II, he took part in over a dozen horse competitions, winning numerous awards. The promising career of a cavalryman was interrupted by German aggression and the necessity to fight for independence. After the surrender of the Polish army, Lieutenant Jerzy Rożałowski evacuated to the territory of Lithuania, where he was interned and imprisoned in a camp. In Lithuania, he then meets his future wife – Krystyna Bichniewicz, the daughter of the landowner and the great-great-granddaughter of Fryderyk Chopin’s eldest sister Ludwika Jędrzejewiczowa, with whom he married in 1940. After escaping from the internment camp, Rożałowski joined the underground and, under the name of Ryszard Porębski, commanded the 1st Infiltration and Partisan Center of the Vilnius District of the Home Army, from which in June 1944 an independent partisan unit was formed, numbering about 200 soldiers. At the same time, Rożałowski worked closely with the 7th Vilnius Brigade of the Home Army. Lieutenant Jerzy Rożałowski went missing on July 11, 1944 in Vilnius during an attempt to contact the command of the Home Army.

Authors: Biedrzycka Agnieszka
Published: March 2023

The article presents the last years of the life of Ludomił German (1851–1921), a Galician teacher and school inspector, playwright, translator and politician. He was an activist of the Democratic-National Party and Polish Democratic Party, member of the Austrian parliament in Vienna (1907–1918) and the National Parliament in Lviv (1912–1914), vice-president of the Chamber of Deputies and vice-president of the Polish Circle. During the World War I, he kept a diary in which he described his activities in the Supreme National Commitee (established on August 16th, 1914), the Polish Circle and the parliament, as well as the history of the Polish Legions, the struggle for their leadership and the efforts undertaken by the leaders of Galicia and the Kingdom of Poland to unificate the Polish lands and create a more or less independent Polish state. As a supporter of the trialist option (replacing the dualistic Austro-Hungarian Monarchy with the trialistic Austro-Hungary-Poland, created as a result of the joining of the Russian Kingdom of Poland to Galicia), he saw the place of Poles at the side of the Habsburgs almost until the end of the war. He spent the end of his life in Lviv, where he also died. His diary, divided into two parts, is kept in the collections of manuscripts of the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow, Poland (number 8537 I, „Notes from great times”, original) and in the Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv (Fond 5, number 6415, vol. I–III, „Memoirs of 1916–1918, copy).

Published: March 2023

The author reads and interprets the work of Christian Graf von Crockow titled “The Hour of the Women”. She shows that in the process of (re)writing his sister’s story in various ways, the author strengthened the sense of her narrative – he became a “biography resonator”. The aim of the article is to analyze the aims and methods, as well as the effects of this “resonance”. It will be a look at a biographical and historical work from a literary studies, partly interdisciplinary perspective. The author argues that it is time to replace the rhetoric of the collective experience of Polish and German resettlement with an analysis of the record of an individual fate.

Authors: Liang Zhao , Hua Zheng , Lu Wang
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Volleyball requires athletes to have high global sport capacity. Compound exercises require more than one muscle group to complete a given movement. They are ideal for jump development in volleyball because they replicate how the athlete's body moves naturally. However, the attributes relevant to this technique are not fully understood. Objective: Study compound exercise's effects on volleyball players’ jumping ability. Methods: The controlled experiment method was used in 30 volunteers equally distributed in two groups, with a duration of 8 weeks. The control group received traditional training. The experimental group received training sessions directed by compound exercises. The sessions were applied twice a week, lasting 80 minutes per session, including 15 minutes of warm-up and 10 minutes of cool-down. The indicators were collected individually before and after the experiment, and the data were analyzed and statistically confronted. Results: The experimental group showed better results on standing vertical jump height, touch height, and blocking height after the compound exercise. Conclusion: The proposed compound exercise can improve players’ physical quality, impacting their professional quality, to ensure sporting interest. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Abstract In order to investigate the stability of qualitative and quantitative traits and choose the most appropriate cultivation method and irrigation regime in rice plants, the experiment was conducted in the form of a split-plot design based on a randomized complete block design in three replications and in two cropping years. The results of compound analysis indicated that the effect of year × irrigation regimes in terms of traits, grain yield, rainfall, productivity 2, number of full grains, number of hollow grains, harvest index, percentage of crushed grains and yield of white rice, the effect of year × Cultivation method characteristics in terms of water consumption, rainfall, productivity 1, number of tillers, plant height, spike length, number of hollow grains, thousand seed weight, small grain percentage and white rice yield and the effect of irrigation regime × cultivation methods in terms of all Traits except traits productivity 2 were significant. The results of the mean comparison of the interaction effect of irrigation regimes and cultivation methods also showed that treatments T1W1, T2W1 and T1W3 are favorable for all evaluated traits. Based on the table of correlation coefficients, correlation diagram and map of the intensity of the correlation in the years of the experiment, it is possible to report the correlation of the grain yield trait with the traits of water consumption, rainfall, plant height, 100- seed weight, full grain number and white rice yield. Also, traits productivity 1, productivity 2 and small grain percentage showed a positive correlation and a negative correlation of these three traits with most of the traits evaluated in the experiment was observed. Based on the analysis of the main components, the first four main components explained the most data variance, and T2W2 and T2W3 treatments were identified as suitable treatments for rice cultivation in terms of the first and second main components.

Abstract Cattle raising is a crucial element of production systems in the tropics and subtropics. However, in recent years, global public health security has been threatened by disease emergence. In Orellana Province, livestock is the most important activity to generate economic income. Nevertheless, there is no available data about Animal Health status. With this objective, a study was performed to describe the major Bovine diseases recorded between 2011 to 2019, and the main Risk factors associated. Data on main Bovine diseases were retrieved from the World Animal Health Information System database. Whereas Bovine population data used to calculate the prevalence rates and confidence intervals were obtained from Ecuador's Ministry of Agriculture. By contrast, the Risk factors identified with an epidemiological questionnaire were applied to 300 livestock farmers. As a result, from 2011 to 2019 in Orellana has been confirmed: 90 cases of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (31.58%), Bovine Rabies by hematophagous bats (Desmodus rotundus), 83 cases (29.12%), Bovine viral diarrhea with 43 cases (15.10%), Brucellosis by Brucella abortus 35 cases, which was (12.28%), and 34 cases related to Enzootic bovine leukosis (11.92%). Overall, the prevalence rates ranged from (0.24 to 15.37%). In addition, farm size, presence of forest, herd, and paddock sizes, cutting frequency of forages, and other animal species were involved as Risk factors (OR = 3.15 to 11.75; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.69). In conclusion, there are animal diseases with reproductive and neurologic symptomology and high-Risk factors implicated in the transmission. Consequently, space-temporal and seroprevalence epidemiological studies should be performed in Orellana.

Authors: Singh Mahesh , Ragoju Ravi , Reddy G. Shiva Kumar , Yadav Dhananjay
Published: March 2023

The onset of Darcy-Brinkman convection in a rotating bidispersive porous layer is studied for different boundary configurations. Rotating bidispersive porous layer manifests in many applications such as food and chemical processes, rotating machinery, the petroleum industry, solidification and centrifugal casting of metals, biomechanics, and geophysical problems. Three types of boundary configurations are considered, namely rigid-rigid, rigid-free, and free-free boundaries. The fluid motion is characterized using the Brinkman-Darcy equation with a single temperature in macro and micro phases. The linear stability theory is used, and the obtained eigenvalue problem is addressed analytically for the free-free boundary conditions. The eigenvalue problems for the rigid-rigid and rigid-free boundaries are solved numerically. The effects of the Taylor number, momentum transfer coefficient, permeability ratio, Darcy number, and porosity ratio on the system's stability are graphically explored. The Darcy number, permeability ratio, and Taylor number are found to have a stabilizing influence on the system. Further, it is found that the momentum transfer coefficient shows destabilizing effect. The porosity ratio is found to have a stabilizing impact on the system.

Published: March 2023

Somatic embryogenesis serves as an effective alternative system for in vitro cultivation of endangered plants (Syzygium cumini), as it allows for the propagation of plants under a controlled environment. So produce hundreds of embryos that can be used as artificial seeds. Somatic embryos of Syzygium cumini, family Myrtaceae, were induced from the calli of a sterile leaf explant in Murashige and Skoog's medium with 6 ppm 2,4-D. After the transfer of the developed calli into liquid media supplemented with the same concentration of growth regulator, all three embryonic stages (globular, heart and torpedo) were observed after 6 weeks. Liquid media with growth regulators appeared to enhance the development to torpedo-stage embryos, especially at six weeks of age cultures. 12 weeks after the transfer of the callus into liquid media, flasks containing predominantly one microscopic stage were pooled and plated on fresh solid media lacking a growth regulator, where the embryogenic calli germinated showing shoots and aerial parts. Embryogenesis production protocol is considered a good tool to save plants from extinction, especially in Syzygium cumini which is a very important anti-diabetic drug.
Consumers’ Knowledge and Perceptions on Generic Medicines
Authors:   The Pharmaceutical Society Of Korea, Lee Nagyeong , Park Sylvia
Published: March 2023

This study aimed to understand the general public’s perception of the definition and equivalence of generic medicines, and to identify factors associated with the perception. We conducted a nationwide survey of the general public who are currently taking prescription drugs for chronic conditions or who filled at least one prescription in the prior 3 months. A total of 2,026 people were included in the analysis. Of the respondents, 21.0% knew the definition of generic medicines. Less than half of respondents considered generic medicines to be as effective (42.8%) as their original counterparts, and to have same side effects (37.1%) and same quality (35.0%). Also, respondents who were men, taking prescription drugs, and those of higher income or higher levels of education were more likely to know the definition of generic drugs. Higher trust in pharmaceutical equivalence of generic medicines were associated with being male, higher education and knowing the definition of generic medicines. This result implies that consumers having more ability to acquire information tend to have more knowledge on generic medicines. Consumers’ trust in generic medicines seems to build from their knowledge rather than experience of using generic medicines. Information should be given to consumers more effectively in order to enhance their knowledge and perceptions on generic medicine.

El cuerpo femenino: una visión general desde la filosofía tradicional a la gestación subrogada
Authors: Velázquez Lourdes
Published: March 2023

So-called surrogacy is a widespread practice in several countries around the world. Behind the appearance of a supposed freedom to dispose of their bodies, lies the exploitation of women belonging to the most socially and geographically vulnerable groups, which has all the characteristics of a modern form of slavery in the service of economic interests. The roots of this phenomenon lie in a secular tradition of devaluation of women and their corporeality that has permeated the most diverse cultures and which, despite the official recognition of their equal dignity at the national legal level, continues latently to this day.

Authors: Gozzo Débora
Published: March 2023

Objective: to study the right to family planning of women over 35 years old when they exercise their reproductive rights. This can lead to high risks for women from this age segment and the fetus. Methods: study is based on a narrative and descriptive literature review and subsequent analysis of articles from journals, books, and collections in the field of health sciences and health law. The descriptors late motherhood, risks of late motherhood, late motherhood, and labor market were analyzed in an additional digital search of the following databases: Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Brazilian CAPES journals. Results: the female body is less prepared for pregnancy from the age of 35 years than that of women aged between 20 and 29 years, an age segment considered ideal for reproduction. Late motherhood, for whatever reason, puts women at higher risk for health problems during pregnancy and poses a higher risk to the child, both the unborn and the child after birth. Conclusion: a woman who chooses late motherhood must be properly informed by specialized physicians that such a pregnancy, whether artificial or natural, may pose serious problems for both her and her child.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN THE STRATEGY OF LANGUAGE TRAINING OF TEACHERS
Authors:   National Pedagogical Dragomanov University Ukraine, Doroshenko Inna
Published: March 2023

The study of the state language is quite naturally correlated with the task of mastering a foreign language, especially English, as one of the most widely used in the world. International communication has become possible due to the rapid spread of English, which is attributed to current global challenges, and English itself is increasingly called the «world» or «global» language. It is highlighted that «global» English language affects the quality and general nature of communication in the national environment, defined and largely limited by the framework of the nation state. It is not easy to give an unambiguous assessment of whether there are mostly positive or, on the contrary, mostly negative consequences, because both positivity and negativity do not appear in a «pure» form, complicated in each case by various additional, concomitant elements and connotations. In the article the author describes the negative trends in the influence of a foreign language, in particular the fact that the breakthrough into new environments and the establishment there of dominant Western-centric discourses (including cultural, artistic, literary, television, audiovisual, information, etc. ). push back to the background or even to the periphery traditional for these environments local discourses, with some of which are directly related to the national cultural essence and national identity. The role of a foreign language in intercultural communication of student contingents in international educational programs is noted. International educational programs contribute to the implementation of specialty skills, are the foundation for building skills of integration into the cultural space of another country. In parallel with professional knowledge, the student aims to master the language and establish understanding with the local community. Yes, there is a process of establishing cross-cultural communication – not just learning a language, but acquiring language skills in live communication.
Movie Box Office Prediction at the Distribution Stage Using Text Mining of Movie Reviews
Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Yoo Byong-Kook , Kim Soon-Hong
Published: March 2023

Most movie box office predictive models use various variables related to movie production, audience, and movie screening. However, one of the most important variables in the distribution stage when a movie is released is the movie review related to the audience, that is the subject of word of mouth. In most predictive models in which various variables have been used so far, movie reviews have been substituted into emotional indices for additional analysis. In this case, it can be said that it has a limitation in that it is difficult to specifically grasp the contents of word of mouth about the movie. In this paper, only words constituting movie reviews on online portal sites were used as independent variables in the movie box office predictive model, and the relationship with movie box office performance was identified using the LASSO model. Through this, the predictive power of movie reviews on movie box office success was evaluated, and the words in movie reviews that affect movie box office were investigated. As a result of the analysis, the LASSO regression coefficients of words had a correlation with the success of the movies. The LASSO regression coefficients increased as the words appeared in reviews of successful movies, but decreased as they appeared in reviews of unsuccessful movies. As a result, it can be said that movie box office prediction using movie reviews can be helpful for planning additional investment strategy at the distribution stage.
Seismometer Orientation Correction via Teleseismic Receiver Function Measurements in West Africa and Adjacent Islands

Published: March 2023

To establish a robust method of determining and correcting the misorientation of seismometers with radial and tangential components of the teleseismic receiver function (RF), we assess the measurement of the amplitude of P-wave phase arrivals at zero seconds (PRFamp method) and the energy of the width of the time window around the P-wave phase arrival (PRFenergy method) using varying Gaussian factors, ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 with equivalent cutoff frequencies. To understand the efficacy and discrepancies in these methods, and their results across different geological terrains, we conduct an assessment of their performance on 26 permanent seismic stations located in West Africa and adjacent islands. We conduct several tests to examine the effect of varying Gaussian factors on the estimates of misorientation. These effects are more noticeable in results from stations for which RFs are indicative of 3D or complex structures and islandic stations. Statistical analyses reveal good correlation between the results obtained from both the methods, although results from PRFamp method proves to be more stable due to their proximity to the statistical mean and standard deviation results. In comparison with the PRFenergy results, there is a smaller error difference and uncertainty, a higher correlation coefficient, a relatively lower standard deviation, and better convergence around the mean misorientation obtained using PRFamp. From both the methods, estimates from continental stations reveal similar trends, results from coastal stations tend to be consistent, whereas some island stations show a reverse trend in sensor misorientation classification. We propose that the PRFamp yields more consistent results and is less sensitive to subsurface heterogeneities. Gaussian filtering with an alpha value (α) of 1.5 is recommended as a trade-off between oversimplification and complications due to subsurface structures. However, we suggest that multiple approaches be adopted to provide robust bases for the estimation and comparison of sensor orientation correction calculations.

Guizhou province is located in a karst development area in China, and there are many moderate earthquakes, among which extremely shallow earthquakes are likely to cause damage to buildings, transportation lines, and other engineering facilities. Accurate focal depth and moment tensor can provide vital information for earthquake disaster assessment and karst collapse monitoring in karst areas. The network in the study area is relatively sparse, and the velocity structure is complex. For shallow earthquakes, the shallow velocity structure may cause certain errors in the inversion of the focal depth and mechanisms. In this study, based on the surface-wave information of regional stations, the shallow velocity structure is inverted. Based on the updated velocity model, we obtain the focal depth and mechanism of the Mw 4.5 earthquake on 21 August 2021 in Guizhou province. The results show that the optimal focal depth is about 2 km, and the moment of horizontal closing crack (M​crack) accounts for about 31% of the full moment tensor. The first motions of the P wave at the near-seismic stations of the earthquake are negative, similar to the typical collapses. However, compared to mining collapse earthquakes, the proportion of closing-crake components is relatively low. The dominant double-couple source of the earthquake is a thrust fault, which is consistent with the distribution of faults in the study area. It is speculated that a collapse in the karst area, resulting in negative P-wave polarities and about 31% closing-crake source, induced the shallow earthquake.

Neural phase pickers—neural networks designed and trained to pick seismic phase arrivals—have proven to be a powerful tool for developing earthquake catalogs. However, these pickers suffer from prediction inconsistency in which the results they produce change, sometimes substantially, even under a small perturbation to the input waveform. This problem has not been addressed by the developers and users of these pickers. In this study, we show how prediction inconsistency can negatively affect the completeness of earthquake catalogs developed using neural phase pickers. We show that simply using a small step size for the sliding window when processing continuous waveform data and aggregating the results significantly mitigates this problem. We also highlight the importance of training datasets for increasing the consistency and other performance metrics.

This article discusses the digital skills of blind students in the educational process during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic forced most students to adapt to a new habit which is WFH (Working from Home). Meanwhile, blind students take longer to learn online which they barely knew about. During this pandemic, students are required to develop digital competencies even though they are studying from home. The purpose of this study is to identify and understand blind students' needs when they are studying from home during the pandemic. The research method used by the researcher in this research is descriptive qualitative, in which the data collection process is carried out online. The results of the analysis found that 7 aspects of blind students' ability in digital space were quite good. Those 7 aspects are basic knowledge of screen reader applications, basic knowledge of digital landscapes, basic knowledge of finding information, basic knowledge of tracing lecture references, basic knowledge of conversational applications and social media, basic knowledge of digital media skills, and ethics in using digital media. Although they are able in accessing or browsing in digital spaces, they are still lacking at some points regarding safety in digital spaces.

Education is a human right, everyone has the right to get educational services as a manifestation to achieve a better life. This study tries to analyze the guarantee of disability rights and inclusive school policies in a juridical and implementing way. Education guarantees for disabilities are contained in Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities, Government Regulation No. 13 of 2020 concerning Adequate Accommodation for Students with Disabilities and Permendikbud No 70 of 2009 concerning Inclusive Education. Malang City has designated 57 public/private elementary schools, and 16 public/private junior high schools as inclusive schools. The City of Probolinggo has designated 16 public/private elementary schools and 6 public/private junior high schools as inclusive schools. The policies in these two areas are based on the principle that schools should not refuse students with disabilities, after a prospective student registers, the school prepares for inclusive classroom learning. The weakness of the implementation of inclusive education in these two areas is the unavailability of adequate learning facilities and the availability of qualified special assistant teachers. So that to achieve the success of inclusive education policies, it is necessary to support infrastructure and human resources of educators that match the educational background with the required competencies.

This study aims to determine the role of text to speech assistive technology on the reading ability of ADHD students in learning using e-learning. The ability of ADHD students who have impulsive and hyperactive behavior shows that students who are diagnosed will have difficulty focusing on one thing as a result of coordination functions and emotional responses that affect learning abilities, especially in reading. To improve reading skills, the use of assistive text to speech technology is needed by students during e-learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of text to speech assistive technology to improve the reading ability of ADHD students in reading spelling of words, with a clear voice and straightforward word emphasis. The method used in this study is Single Subject Research (SSR) using the ABA technique. Instruments to determine the level of reading ability of ADHD students are observation and documentation. The results showed that the role of text to speech assistive technology to improve reading skills in e-learning for ADHD students made progress in spelling words and with clear vowels and straightforward word emphasis. It can be concluded that the role of text to speech assistive technology to improve reading skills in e-learning for ADHD students is highly recommended to be applied in every e-learning lesson.

Understanding STEM from Students’ Perspectives: Exploring Students’ Lived Communities and the Learning Communities They Wish to Create
Authors: Price Jeremy
Published: March 2023

Community engagement in STEM learning and teaching largely focuses on citizen science projects, serving the needs and goals of the largely white and male dominated STEM fields with only cursory attention to the lived experiences and narratives of the learners who engage in these experiences (Mahmoudi et al., 2022; Rautio et al., 2022). This article explores the ways in which researchers can work with students to uncover the ways in which they experience learning environments, and pathways for change according to their community memberships, aspirations, and goals. Participants in this research are high school biology students in a diverse mid-suburban city. To understand their perspectives, students participated in activity structures grounded in anthropological methods including ethnographic interviews (Emerson et al., 1995; Spradley, 1979), illustrations (Haney et al., 2004), pile sorts (Boster, 1994; Ryan & Bernard, 2003), and ranking (Smith & Borgatti, 1997; Thompson & Juan, 2006). Moving between consensus and individuals, this research demonstrates the ways in which students’ critical and meaningful experiences and aspirations can be understood and heard.

Published: March 2023

In recent years, big data has been attracting attention in various fields, and Japanese institutions of higher education are also focusing on improving education based on the analysis of data accumulated in schools. Therefore, as an example of the application of big data analysis to mathematics education, we considered the mathematics exam score data accumulated at our college as big data and analyzed it. Another major objective is to obtain some knowledges about mathematics education for information engineering students. The software used for the analysis is the freeware statistical analysis software R. The analysis method used is covariance structure analysis, which represents correlations and causal relationships among observed variables as a well-fitting model. As a result, two models with good fit indices were created for the integrated data of multi-year exams, and it was found the learning items that have a significant impact on the later learning items in that data. Furthermore, it was also able to use one of the models to analyze the characteristics of a single-year data. It is thought that these results can contribute to mathematics education for information engineering course students.
