Authors: Ghimire Shree Prasad , Paudel Krishna Chandra
Published: January 2025

The pervasive integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education necessitates systematic investigation of its practical effectiveness in mathematics instruction, as empirical evidence of its impact on teaching and learning processes remains crucial for enhancing pedagogical practices. This study investigated the opportunities and challenges of ICT integration in mathematics instruction among Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) students majoring in mathematics and their teachers at Tribhuvan University. The information/data was gathered through interviews with eight students and four teachers who had studied and taught for various years (first, second, third, and fourth) using interpretative phenomenological techniques. From the study, it was found that high motivation, self-paced learning, conceptual understanding of contents, anytime-anywhere learning, opportunities for repeated learning, and feedback were the fundamental opportunities in the use of ICT. Furthermore, insufficient prior knowledge and skills on ICT use by both students and teachers, insufficient class time, less knowledge to prepare the course materials, less supportive infrastructure, insufficient access to ICT devices with internet, and availability of freely available software were found the challenges on the use of ICT.

Published: January 2025

Concrete, which is usually composed of cement, water, and fine and coarse aggregate, is the most dynamic building material for the construction of physical infrastructures because of its strength and durability, which solidifies over time in response to environmental changes. The size and shape of the aggregate have a significant impact on workability, strength, and durability of concrete since various particle sizes produce distinct reactions. To support the manufacturing of sustainable concrete, the research suggested substituting stone dust (SD) for sand. In contrast to the addition of stone dust, the application of superplasticizers improves the workability of concrete. The study aims to examine the compressive strength of M20-grade concrete that has superplasticizer added in addition to stone dust as fine aggregate replacement. The Maximum compressive strength of concrete has been achieved at 40% sand replacement. The findings revealed that the increase in stone dust content results in an increase in compressive strength of concrete using superplasticizer. The use of superplasticizer serves to increase the workability of the concrete and has no discernible effect on the compressive strength up to 50% sand replacement. The 28-days compressive strength achieved maximum value at 50% sand replacement with 2% superplasticizer. When stone dust and superplasticizer are added, the concrete becomes denser;conversely, when the amount of stone dust and superplasticizer is increased, the concrete becomes more slumped. For the construction of sustainable concrete, the SD can be used in place of fine aggregate in conjunction with superplasticizer.

The Role of Collaboration in Supporting Community Resilience Programmes in Post-Disaster Events
Authors: Danar Oscar Radyan
Published: January 2025

The impact of collaboration on the community resilience program for residents of Lumajang Regency varies. For the variable “Strengthening local knowledge”, collaboration is preferable since it allows different communities to cooperate in gathering local information from different perspectives. According to our research, if local knowledge is not strengthened through collaboration, it will actually have the reverse effect—that is, it will not have an impact on catastrophe risk reduction. This is due to the community’s still limited and underutilized participation in government programs for monitoring and communicating the
catastrophe response. Different findings were made for the community network and relationship variables, where the influence of relationships within the community network on disaster risk reduction is still non-significant, whether directly or indirectly through cooperative mediation. Because LR is preparing for disaster risk management, community relations or engagement with the authorities regarding the necessity of disaster risk management have not yet been involved. The location, interaction, traits, and interests should all be taken into consideration when forming the community. In fact, LR residents have not yet put
this into practice. The findings are similarly important when considering how different variables, either directly or through the collaboration variable, influence leadership, governance, and health. Therefore, disaster risk reduction may be impacted directly or indirectly by the presence of emergency response health services, the creation of disaster-resilient villages, and the creation of a profile of disaster-prone locations. But according to the data above, collaboration can actually have a bigger impact on disaster risk reduction.

Exploring the Use of Code-Switching and Code-Mixing Among EFL Faculty Members in Digital Learning Environments
Authors: Mala Rohmana Wahyu Indah , Salsabil Anisa Jihan
Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate the use of code-mixing and code-switching by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) faculty members in the digital learning environment. While code-switching and code-mixing have been examined in various educational contexts, there remains a notable gap in understanding their intentional use within the digital learning environment, where faculty members deliberately alternate or mix languages to enhance clarity, engage students, and achieve specific teaching objectives in an online context. This study addresses this gap by examining how faculty members strategically employ these linguistic phenomena to enhance the learning experience in technologically mediated instructional settings. Employing qualitative research design and a case study approach, data were collected through documentation, observation, and semi-structured interviews. Two experienced EFL faculty members from a university in Malang, Indonesia, were selected as participants due to their expertise in code-switching and digital learning environments. The findings reveal complex code-mixing patterns, including inner, outer, and hybrid forms, while code-switching is observed in interlanguage transitions and shifts between formal and informal language. EFL faculty members intentionally utilize these linguistic strategies to enhance student comprehension. Switching between languages helps explain difficult concepts, clarify ideas, and foster better understanding. Bilingualism and situational context emerge as key factors influencing language choices in the digital learning environment, shaping the pedagogical practices for EFL educators. The implications of this study highlight the strategic role of language alternation in technologically mediated instructional settings, emphasizing its potential to enrich the pedagogical approaches of EFL educators in digital learning environments.
Exploring How Lecturers Comprehend and Apply Critical Pedagogy in English Listening Class
Authors: Rokhaniyah Hesti , Nuraini Eka Indah , Sa-a Firdaus
Published: January 2025

Grounded in Freire’s (1971) critical pedagogy premise revealing that the act of listening should be active, critical, and transformative, rather than passive or merely receptive, this research explored the experience of English language lecturers who taught English listening classes with a critical pedagogy approach. This study employed a qualitative method through a case study design to explore lecturers' understanding in depth and their practices of critical pedagogy. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four lecturers and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. The analysis identified key themes in lecturers' understanding, including their awareness of the transformative potential of listening activities, the importance of fostering student autonomy, and their understanding of listening as a dialogic process. The findings also indicate that while lecturers did not explicitly define or describe critical pedagogy, certain stages and elements of it were evident in their teaching. In practice, lecturers applied the principles of critical pedagogy by providing authentic materials, building horizontal relationships, developing critical consciousness, encouraging critical, democratic, and participatory assessment to support transformative learning, while contending with challenges like low student engagement, language proficiency, and diverse accents. This suggests that, to some extent, they incorporated aspects of critical pedagogy in their listening classes. The practical implications of this research recommend that lecturers should receive targeted training in critical pedagogy to better align their teaching practices with its principles, while institutions should provide resources and support to address the challenges.
Study of allelic diversity of the Rf1 gene in grain sorghum samples
Authors: Vozhzhova N. N. , Zhogaleva О. S. , Kovtunov V. V.
Published: January 2025

Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is one of the important grain crops in world production. In order to develop valuable heterotic hybrid lines, breeders use cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), which is mainly based on the A1 (milo) cytoplasm in Russia. This type of CMS is controlled by several genes, one of which is the Rf1 gene. The purpose of the current work was to study the allelic diversity of the Rf1 gene in breeding and collection grain sorghum samples. Genomic DNA of grain sorghum was isolated by the CTAB method from young sprouts. The quantity and quality of DNA were estimated by a spectrophotometer. For PCR analysis, there was used a specific molecular marker Xtxp18, which established a wide allelic diversity of the 30 grain sorghum samples studied. The comparison of the results of molecular analysis and the fertility level of samples in field conditions has shown that the greatest share in the fertility formation belonged to the alleles Rf1j (30 %) and Rf1d (32 %) in the group of fertility restorer samples (B); and the alleles Rf1a (23.33 %), Rf1d (23.33 %) and Rf1c (15 %) in the group of fertile plants not involved in crossing. Alleles Rf1a, Rf1d and Rf1c had a high percentage of association with field fertility of the samples (similar to the effect of the Rf1j allele), and therefore can be used in grain sorghum breeding aimed at developing fertility restorer lines. In order to breed grain sorghum to develop fertility restorer lines, it can be recommended to use samples with the Rf1j allele (associated with fertility), in which it was revealed to a greater extent, and the samples themselves belonged to the group of fertility restorers 21/22, 22/22, 23/22, 24/22 and 27/22. In order to develop sterile lines, there can be used grain sorghum genotypes with the Rf1e allele (associated with sterility) 7/22, 8/22, 9/22 and ZSK 1497/21 after confirming their fixation ability in field conditions.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of the current study was to characterize the spring common wheat variety ‘Nitsa’ of Ural breeding by its economically useful traits and properties in comparison with the standard variety and varieties of domestic and foreign breeding. The study was conducted at the Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center of the Ural Branch of the RAS in a specialized breeding crop rotation, the fields of which present the main range of soils in the Middle Urals region in 2020–2023. The variety ‘Nitsa’, developed by the method of intraspecific hybridization between the parents ‘Ekaterina’ (mother) and ‘Krasnoufimskaya 100’ (father), has been included in the State List of Breeding Achievements in the Volga-Vyatka and East Siberian regions of the Russian Federation since 2024. The mean productivity of the variety over the years of competitive variety testing was 3.82 t/ha, which is higher than that of the standard variety (‘Ekaterina’) by 0.36 t/ha or 10.4 %. In the environmental testing at the Krasnoufimsk Breeding Center (2021–2023), the mean productivity of ‘Nitsa’ was 3.40 t/ha, or 0.42 t/ha (14.1 %) higher than that of ‘Ekaterina’, there was identified an excess over the early-maturing varieties ‘Ekstra’ and ‘Iren’ (5.0–32.8 %), the middle-early varieties ‘Tyumenskaya rannyaya’, ‘Svecha’ and ‘Novosibirskaya 31’ (13.7–17.6 %). It was determined that the new variety formed the same productivity as the middle- maturing varieties ‘Ekada 70’, ‘Dariya’, ‘Omskaya 36’. It was established that stress resistance of ‘Nitsa’ was equal to ‘Iren’ and ‘Ekaterina’ and surpassed all the studied middle-early and middle-maturing varieties. The trait ‘breeding value of a variety genotype’ has shown that ‘Nitsa’ forms a high productivity combined with stability. There has been proven a variety’s advantage according to all energy efficiency indicators. There was established weak susceptibility of the variety ‘Nitsa’ against infectious background to loose and kernel smut, root rots. There was identified that baking properties of the new variety belonged to valuable wheat, and to the third class according to the standards for harvested grain. The research results have shown that wheat can be used in breeding as a source of high productivity, stability, disease resistance and improvement of the baking properties of grain.

Genotypes of different genetic structures behave differently in various environmental conditions. Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is referred to as differential responses of different
genotypes across different environments; GEI is of great importance because of the higher performance of genotypes that GEI assesses. However, the presence of GEI makes analysis more complicated. To up-root these assessment complications, several methods have been proposed, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Cluster Analysis, Additive Main effects, Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) models, and Genotype plus Genotype by Environment interaction (GGE). These methods neither overcome the problem of overparameterization nor use the prior information. This study aims to use a technique to address these problems; for this purpose, wheat crop data comprised of 30 genotypes tested across 13 different locations of Punjab, Pakistan, for two consecutive years was used. The layout of the experiment was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). In this study, a comparison was made between Classical methods AMMI, GGE biplot, and Bayesian approach using Von-Mises Fisher distribution as prior. Classical methods showed that genotype V-11098 was the most desirable based on stability and high-yield performance. The Bayesian approach was used for GEI because it simplifies statistical interpretation by relaxing some constraints. It uses the prior
information and provides solutions using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Bayesian
strategy for analysis of GEI was used to assess the general, specific performance of genotypes and risk related to genotype. Analysis revealed that bi-linear terms 𝜇ଶହ,ଵ for genotype NS-10 genotype and 𝜈ଵଷ,ଵ for environment S13 (Piplan-14) were found significant, indicating that these affect interaction. It was observed that the Bayesian approach could nicely explore GE interaction.

Published: January 2025

The corn weevil (Pagiocerus sp.) is a pest of economic importance stored in corn grains (Zea mays L.). Their control is realized with systemic insecticides, which can cause resistant insects. To search for a biological control method, the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria was evaluated by spraying stored corn grains attacked by Pagiocerus. The results indicated the pre-insect placement application of the native strain of Beauveria sp. with a dosage of 3 mL-1, it reached 100% insect mortality, while the commercial strain reached 83% mortality. The percentage of damaged grains for the native isolate was 26% and 56% for the commercial isolate with pre-insect placement application of 3 mL-1, unlike the control treatment that reached 80% of damaged grains. The weight loss of grains with the pre-insect placement application of the native isolate with a dosage of 3 mL-1 registered the lowest percentage at 29.9%. In contrast, the commercial isolate registered a weight loss of 56.2%, unlike the control treatment, which registered 85.2%. The study demonstrated that Beauveria applied in suspension with concentrations of 1 x 108 conidia mL-1 can control Pagiocerus for stored corn grains.

Published: January 2025

This study explores the evolving roles of library and information professionals (IPs) in data analysis and organization, particularly within interdisciplinary teams. It builds on the premise that data is pivotal for strategic business and institutional management, with IPs contributing through their expertise in information and communication technologies (ICTs), mediation with users, and mastery of taxonomies and semantic organizational structures (SOCs). The study examines job advertisements to determine the skills, experience, and training employers seek in IPs for data-centric roles. A total of 84 international job postings from platforms such as ALAJobLIST, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor were analyzed. The postings were XML-tagged to identify descriptions, competencies, and requirements. Using OpenAI tools, keywords were extracted, standardized, and grouped into thematic clusters and macro-clusters for analysis. The findings reveal that required skills span eight macro-clusters: business management; data management; information organization; data analysis and statistics; programming; web technologies; analytical creativity; and domain-specific expertise. IPs are valued for their technical and technological skills, particularly in navigating and applying standards for data description, visualization, and communication. Conclusions highlight that while IPs possess strong foundational skills, additional training in statistics and analysis platforms is critical to fully meet employer demands. Employers trust IPs for their ability to handle data-centric roles in competitive environments, emphasizing the importance of communication, leadership, and customer-oriented skills. The study underscores the need to enhance LIS curricula to better integrate advanced statistical training and entrepreneurial competencies. This research emphasizes the growing recognition of IPs’ contributions to data analysis and organization, underscoring their essential role in addressing the complexities of interdisciplinary data-driven projects
Examining the Influence of Teachers and Social Dynamics in Adolescent Cyberbullying Intervention
Authors: Mubarak S Aldosari
Published: January 2025

The prevalence of cyberbullying presents a significant threat to the well-being and development of adolescents. Despite increased awareness, there remains a critical gap in understanding the growing concern of cyberbullying among adolescents. This research aims to explore the prevalence and influence of teachers and social dynamics in adolescent cyberbullying intervention in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), based on theoretical concepts from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The study used a structured, validated questionnaire to collect data from 724 middle and high school students across KSA, employing a simple random sampling technique. Quantitative analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results indicate that 41.7% of the sample had experienced cyberbullying. The study highlights the decisive role of attitudes and intentions in shaping cyberbullying behaviours, emphasising the need for a negative perception. Empathy emerges as a protective factor, while perceived behavioural control acts as a significant deterrent. Subjective norms had an insignificant impact on intentions. Teacher intervention was negatively linked to students' intentions, suggesting that teachers can discourage negative cyberbullying intentions. Additionally, teachers' intervention plays a significant moderating role between students' intentions and actual behaviour, weakening the relationship between intention and the manifestation of cyberbullying behaviour. The findings suggest policy implications for targeted teacher interventions as effective deterrents and underscore the importance of fostering an empathetic environment to enhance adolescents' social and emotional skills in KSA. These results provide practical insights for policymaking and the professional training of teachers in addressing cyberbullying

Authors: Fengjin Zhou
Published: January 2025

Social media networks are an essential component for the enhancement of modern business environment. These networks provide entrepreneurs with a platform for their startups' development and scalability. However, little is known about the impact of social media used as a communication tool in identifying scalability among startups. Using dynamic capabilities theory, this study examines how specific characteristics, such as innovation and opportunity creation, affect the scalability of startups. The research aimed at a sample of owners or managers of Chinese startups. Purposive sampling approaches were used to choose participants, and data was gathered via a questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 for PLS_SEM. The findings indicate that use of social media for customer relations and services is the strongest predictor of innovation, followed by social media marketing—the innovation toward the scalability of startups and the innovation toward opportunity creation. These results have significant practical implications for how social media affects entrepreneurship and may be utilized to improve entrepreneurs' capacity to uncover new possibilities and build relationships with customers, suppliers, workers, and partners.

У даній статті розглядається можливість впровадження та удосконалення електронного документообігу в публічному управлінні. Комп’ютеризація та інформатизація суспільства має великий вплив на розвиток державних організацій. Впровадження електронного документообігу є одним з важливих інструментів ефективного управління в організації та одним із основних компонентів електронного урядування. Організація, функціонування та питання регулювання й правового забезпечення електронного документообігу в організаціях набуло важливого значення. Електронний документообіг виконує основні напрямки використання інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій у діяльності органів влади, що забезпечує впровадження системи електронного документообігу, як одного з визначальних процесів у розвитку публічного управління. Використання систем електронного документообігу розкриває нові можливості у соціальній взаємодії та дозволяє ефективно виконувати управлінські функції держави або організації. Впровадження систем електронного документообігу в Україні на даному етапі зіштовхується з певними проблемами, а саме: при впровадженні систем електронного документообігу в органах державної влади є брак фахівців, що володіють необхідними знаннями, навичками та вміннями; відсутність інформації про системи, які необхідно впровадити; відсутність досвіду впровадження таких систем. Також у сучасних органах влади документообіг ведеться в змішаній формі, а саме: в електронному та паперовому виглядах. Зрештою, впровадження електронного документообігу сприяє підняттю прозорості та ефективності діяльності організацій. Відомо, що на стогоднішній день Україна не досягла таких результатів в цій області, як інші країни. Тому для ефективного впровадження електронного документообігу в державних організаціях України необхідно перейняти досвід інших країн. У результаті було зроблено висновки, що нормативно-правова база України, яка забезпечує впровадження електронного документообігу в адміністративній сфері, потребує вдосконалення з використанням закордонного досвіду.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the design, implementation and evaluation of the digitalization of the financial system at Al-Amin Prenduan Islamic boarding school in Sumenep. The data were gathered from key informants i.e. the Board of Kyais, finance officers, students, and their parents, using a qualitative descriptive approach. Secondary data came from institutional documents. The findings show that the Kyai Council was consulted during the development of the digital financial system, which took into account both payment and economic needs. The transformation included the development from the Pondok Payment Application (APIP) to the Al-Amien Financial System (AFS). Implementation involved cashless transactions via interbank transfers, facility provision in each unit, and financial restrictions on students' daily allowances. Santri’s parents also participate in monitoring through the Student Information and Administration Systems. The evaluation process includes regular meetings by the financial supervision team and field studies to enhance technological efficiency and adaptation.

During the period of scientific research, 12 species of cystforming nematodes were identified, the vast majority of which belong to the genus Heterodera. The spread of pathogenic species in the regions of traditional cultivation of major crops indicates a high degree of their trophic specialization. Multi-field anti-nematode crop rotations have been an effective preventive measure to control the number of cyst-forming nematodes for a long time. In particular, to prevent mass accumulation of cyst-forming nematodes, the maximum saturation of crop rotations with host plants should not exceed: cereals - 40%, beets, canola and other oil cabbage - 20%, potatoes - 20% (10% susceptible + 10% resistant to nematodes) , perennial legumes - 30% (crops under the cover of cereals + perennial legumes - one or two years of use). However, the current transition from multi-field to shortrotation crop rotations has led to a narrowing of the species diversity of cultivated plants, and in accordance with the mass reproduction of pests and their high harmfulness. Intensive use of chemical plant protection products does not provide a solution to these problems, as it eventually leads to the formation of resistant populations of pests, as well as environmental pollution. Therefore, even partial replacement in modern systems of integrated plant protection of pesticides of chemical origin with environmentally friendly drugs of complex prolonged action of new generation, which combine the properties of bio-inducers, bio-stimulants, bio-fungicides, nematicides, insecticides, antistressants and adaptogens, will promote ecological production. obtaining safe plant products. Among the various ways of using plant protection products, pre-sowing treatment of seed or planting material is one of the most rational, given the minimal cost of active substances and low cost of protective measures

This paper considers the development of an isothermal laminar flow of viscoplastic fluid with yield stress in a pipe. A characteristic feature of such a flow is the formation of a non-deformable region in which the fluid behaves like a solid. This phenomenon significantly complicates the numerical solution of the equations of viscoplastic fluid flow, since traditional methods cannot adequately describe the behavior of the fluid in this region. The novelty of this work resides in the application of the effective molecular viscosity methodology and the Bingham-Papanastasiou model, which made it possible to perform an end-to-end calculation of the isothermal flow taking into account the non-deformable region. In the course of the calculations, the velocity and pressure distributions were derived for Reynolds numbers from 71.2 to 740.8 and Bingham numbers in the range from 1.225 to 17.01. An increase in the Reynolds number to Re = 740.8 and a decrease in the Bingham number to Bn = 1.225 lead to a reduction in the region with maximum velocities and a change in the input axial velocity distribution. The radial profiles of the axial velocity remain the same in all cross-sections from z/R = 10 to z/R = 40, which indicates the establishment of a steady-state flow regime of viscoplastic fluid, in which a constant velocity core is formed in the cross-section of the pipe.
