Published: August 2023

Motivation plays a crucial role in the success of students' learning activities. The higher the level of individual motivation, the greater the potential for achieving learning outcomes. With the rapid advancement of technology, the field of education is adapting to meet future challenges. As educators, it is essential to innovate and create engaging virtual classrooms that captivate students' interest. Many students show disinterest in attending virtual lectures due to the perceived lack of excitement in these classes. However, there is a technology solution that can address this issue - VMix. VMix offers the capability to create visually appealing and captivating virtual class displays similar to television studios. By integrating VMix with platforms like Zoom and Google Meet, we can enhance the virtual learning experience. This research follows a Research & Development approach and focuses on the development of VMix to enhance student motivation in virtual classrooms.

Published: August 2023

The internet was developed to foster easy access to information but has been abused in terms of addiction and bullying. The main objective of this study was to assess cyber addiction and cyberbullying among adolescents in public tertiary institutions. The sample of the study consisted of 400 adolescents from 4 public tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Using an ex-post facto research design, the results indicate that 0.7% of adolescents were severe internet addicts, 26.8% were normal users, 42.5% were mildly addicted, and 30% were moderately addicted to internet use. Regression analysis showed that socio-demographic factors such as age, biological sex, religious affiliation, the institution of study, years of using the internet, and internet device usage jointly predicted cyber addiction and cyberbullying. Religious affiliation and years of using the internet independently predicted cyber addiction, while age independently predicted cyberbullying. The research findings revealed the need for monitoring and controlling adolescents' internet activities.

Published: August 2023

The emergence and wrong use of social media coupled with the lack of initiative for an acceptable learning strategy are factors for poor academic performance. Self-regulated learning improves academic performance, but there is a paucity of research on social media addiction, learning strategies and self-regulated learning. This study examined the role of social media addiction and learning strategy in undergraduates' self-regulated learning. Three hundred and fifty (350) participants conveniently sampled across four (4) universities in Nigeria responded to a structured questionnaire consisting of scales measuring variables of interest. Using Analysis of Variance and Independent T-test analyses, results showed that learning strategy and social media addiction have significant influence on self-regulated learning while gender had no significant influence on self-regulated learning. It is therefore concluded that social media addiction and learning strategy are determinants of self-regulated learning, and impacts on the academic performance of undergraduate students.

Estrategias guiadas y espontáneas de la lectura y escritura académica, y su impacto en el ingreso universitario
Authors: Vega Eliana Soledad , Juaneu Juana Luciana , Marcelo Vaiman , Di Paola Naranjo Antonella , Bustamante Constanza
Published: August 2023

El aprendizaje en los niveles educativos superiores implica habilidades de lectura y escritura que conllevan ciertas particularidades ligadas a cada campo disciplinar. El dominio de estas suele condicionar la trayectoria universitaria de cada ingresante, llegando a veces a determinar su permanencia en el sistema. El presente trabajo pretendió determinar la relación que existe entre las estrategias de lectura y escritura utilizadas por estudiantes y el rendimiento académico obtenido. Para tal fin, se realizó un estudio de carácter descriptivo correlacional en donde se administró la subescala de alfabetización académica de la encuesta sobre hábitos lectores y escritores en estudiantes universitarios (Guzmán y García, 2015) a 440 estudiantes del Curso de Nivelación de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba del año 2020. Los datos obtenidos revelan que las actividades propuestas por el cuerpo docente y las acciones espontáneas implementadas por cada estudiante durante el curso de ingreso influyen en el rendimiento académico, sin embargo, no ocurre lo mismo al analizar las trayectorias variadas en la alfabetización académica en la escuela secundaria, las cuales no permiten discriminar entre las distintas condiciones que se obtienen al final del ingreso a la carrera.

La cuestión de lo sagrado en la masonería
Authors: Rodrigues de Souza Fernando
Published: August 2023

La masonería se basa en principios ilustrados y liberales que le garantizan a la institución un carácter laico y tolerante, que permite a sus miembros el ejercicio de la libertad religiosa.c Sin embargo, los últimos tres siglos han estado marcados por varias manifestaciones de intolerancia entre la masonería y las diferentes religiones, disputas internas que resultaron en cismas y que demuestran contradicciones entre la teoría y la aplicación práctica de tales principios. Este texto pretende analizar algunas de estas tensiones, aportando nuevas consideraciones sobre el tema religioso y su relación con la masonería y los desafíos para el futuro.
Política en la sombra
Authors: Ceballos Coz Sergio
Published: August 2023

El Trienio Liberal (1820-1823) es ampliamente conocido por ser el segundo régimen constitucional de la historia de España, inaugurado gracias al triunfo del pronunciamiento de Riego en enero de 1820. En ese sentido, sobre él gravitan las enormes dificultades que tuvieron los liberales para poner en marcha un Estado alternativo al absolutista, en el que Fernando VII se sintió, además de profundamente incómodo, también cautivo. De la misma manera, una larga sombra pesa todavía sobre este régimen político, abocado al fracaso tras haberse convertido en un sistema controlado por las acciones de misteriosas sociedades clandestinas, entre ellas la masonería.

Aim of the study: The aim of the study is DNDC model simulation for nitrogen balance in rice-wheat cropping system. Material and methods: The DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model is a computer simulation model for the biogeochemistry of carbon and nitrogen in agro ecosystems that takes a process-oriented approach. The DNDC model version 9.5 (http:// www.dndc.sr.unh.edu) was selected for estimating nitrogen balance. The model consists of two modules. The first component simulates moisture, soil temperature, pH, and substrate concentration, which are determined by ecological parameters such as soil, climate, anthropogenic activities, and vegetation. It consists of sub-models for plant growth, decomposition, and soil climate. The second module predicts the emission of gasses from plant-soil systems such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxide (NO), dinitrogen (N2), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2). The model includes empirical equations developed from laboratory studies and is based on the classical laws of chemistry, physics, and biology. The empirical equations included parameterizing specific biochemical or geochemical reactions. The entire model bridges the primary ecological drivers with the biogeochemical cycles of C and N (see: Figures 1 and 2). Results and conclusions: This study used the DNDC model to estimate nitrogen balance in the study area. A calibrated and validated DNDC model was used to simulate NO3-N loss in runoff and leachate from a rice–wheat cropping system from 2018 to 2020. The total nitrogen balance estimated by the DNDC model was negative (–99.44 kg N ha–1 yr–1) and positive (69.1 kg N ha–1 yr–1) for rice and wheat cropping systems, respectively, in the study area.

Pollinating insects provide vital ecosystem services and are facing global declines and habitat loss . Roadsides are increasingly regarded as important potential areas for enhancing pollinator habitat. Understanding which roadsides best support pollinators — and why — is essential to helping locate and prioritize pollinator conservation efforts across roadside networks. To support this effort, we assessed butterfly, bee, and flowering plant species richness and abundance on a set of 63 stratified randomized roadside transects in State -managed rights -of -way in SE Idaho. Our research evaluated pollinator diversity as a function of highway class (interstate, U.S., and state highways), remotely sensed NDVI values (a measure of vegetation greenness), and floral resources. We found that smaller highways and lower (less green) maximum NDVI values were associated with significantly more bee species and total bees. Roadsides bordering sagebrush habitats typically had low NDVI values and higher bee and butterfly species richness, potentially contributing to this observed pattern. Butterfly richness increased in association with higher floral abundance in roadsides. Additionally, we identified and mapped 1,363 roadside patches of milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), larval host plant for the imperiled monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), in a survey of over 900 miles of southern Idaho highways. Based on these results and a literature review, we recommend management strategies to promote the health of pollinator populations in Idaho’s rights-of-way and provide data to help ITD prioritize areas for pollinator -friendly management practices and habitat restoration within their highway system.
Adaptation of young physical education teachers

Published: August 2023

The relevance of research on the adaptation of young physical education teachers is dictated by the modern challenges of Russian education, primarily the need to meet the targets of the national project «Education». Young teachers, in particular including physical education teachers, in the conditions of the new geopolitical reality, are that strategic resource, which should be the main thing in the formation of a new paradigm of education in Russia. The purpose of the study is to assess the adaptation process of young physical education teachers in Yekaterinburg, to identify the main reasons for the difficulty of entering the profession and moving to the next stage of professional development. The article is written on the basis of a study conducted by the authors in May 2023 of young teachers – teachers of physical culture, whose experience does not exceed five years. In total, 20 teachers of Yekaterinburg schools were interviewed. Socio-professional adaptation is understood as «the process of interaction between the individual and the professional environment, during which the development of goals, values, norms of professional activity is carried out, due to a combination of external and internal factors that ensure the optimal functioning and development of the individual in the profession».
Syllable Structure in Setswana Personal Names
Authors:   University of Botswana, Sebina Boikanyego , Otlogetswe Thapelo Joseph ,   University of Botswana
Published: August 2023

The study analyses the characteristics of syllables in personal names of the Setswana (Tswana) language (Sotho subgroup of the Bantu languages, Southern Africa). The authors focus on 1,001 most frequent names extracted from a dataset of 1,093,265 names using Wordsmith Tools. Of all the studied names, 55.5% are male, while 40.2% are female and 4.3% — unisex names. Most Setswana names have three syllables followed by those with four syllables (more than 70% of the studied personal names are either three or four syllable names), ﬁve syllable names are the third most common, while six syllable names are rare in Setswana. The study reveals that in female names, the ﬁrst and penultimate (perceptually most prominent) syllables statistically more often end in front vowels, while in male names, in the same positions, back vowels are more frequent. At the same time, the last phoneme in most female names is a back vowel, while most of male names end in front vowels. Female names also more often terminate in syllabic constants compared to male names. All this suggests that in Setswana, there are distinct patterns for male and female names, which means that Setswana speakers are phonologically aware of the relations between the gender of a person and the phonological form of his or her name. These patterns found in Setswana are compared to what is known about the syllable structure of personal names in English and French. The results demonstrate that the phonological patterns in Setswana personal names may display sound symbolism.
Onyms in Political Posters: Intersemiotic and Pragmatic Perspectives
Authors:   Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, Pavlina Svetlana Yu.
Published: August 2023

This article explores the properties of proper names involved in visual political communication from the standpoint of multimodality and functional pragmatics. The material encompasses 198 campaign posters, spanning 1999–2022, which have a verbal element containing anthroponyms, toponyms and other proper names. Such political advertisements incorporate linguistic and visual elements so they are viewed as multimodal texts in which politically relevant information is created due to the integration of various modes. The research rests in the realm of socio-onomastics and uses the systemic functional approach to multimodal discourse analysis. The ﬁndings show that in juxtaposition to other semiotic signs, an onym’s meaning is equally conditioned to the internal semantics and broad social and cultural contexts. Hence, functionally, they are a part and parcel of those complex semiotic relations shaping the message and the image-language models of the visual political discourse. The research elucidates the functions names perform in political posters which encompass identiﬁcation, attention drawing, ludic, identity assessment and evaluation ones. The ﬁndings have implication for studying the manipulative potential of proper names set in a socio-political context.

Authors: Seo Gi Hyeon , Kim Jong Yeop , Lee Da yeong , Lee Changjin , Lee Jiyoung
Published: August 2023

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Twin pregnancy and cesarean delivery are well-known risk factors for PPH. However, few studies have investigated PPH risk factors in mothers who have undergone cesarean delivery for twin pregnancies. Therefore, this study investigated the risk factors associated with severe PPH after cesarean delivery for twin pregnancies.Methods: We searched and reviewed the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service’s claims data from July 2008 to June 2021 using the code corresponding to cesarean delivery for twin pregnancy. Severe PPH was defined as hemorrhage requiring red blood cell (RBC) transfusion during the peripartum period. The risk factors associated with severe PPH were identified among the procedure and diagnosis code variables and analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions.Results: We analyzed 31,074 cesarean deliveries for twin pregnancies, and 4,892 patients who underwent cesarean deliveries for twin pregnancies and received RBC transfusions for severe PPH were included. According to the multivariate analysis, placental disorders (odds ratio, 4.50; 95% confidence interval, 4.09–4.95; P < 0.001), general anesthesia (2.33, 2.18–2.49; P < 0.001), preeclampsia (2.20, 1.99–2.43; P < 0.001), hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome (2.12, 1.22–3.68; P = 0.008), induction failure (1.37, 1.07–1.76; P = 0.014), and hypertension (1.31, 1.18–1.44; P < 0.001) predicted severe PPH.Conclusions: Placental disorders, hypertensive disorders such as preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome, and induction failure increased the risk of severe PPH after cesarean delivery for twin pregnancy.

"FASHION LINGUISTICS": TRENDY NATIONALLY MARKED METAPHORS (BASED ON THE NEWSPAPER LANGUAGE)
Authors:   Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University, Kosmeda Tetyana
Published: August 2023

The socio-psycho-linguistic phenomenon of fashion draws considerable linguists’ attention: one can trace the methodological foundations of this phenomenon study being dynamically developed, the formation of a corresponding metalanguage, as well as the formation of research aspects and domains, which makes it possible to justify the emergence of "fashion linguistics" as a new linguistic direction. One of the tasks of "fashion linguistics" is the study of trendy metaphors in the media style as the most popular in today’s discursive space. The newspaper language is considered to be the source that attests to the distinctiveness of the Ukrainian language progress, demonstrates its development peculiarities, as well as its corresponding trend changes. In recent years, the journalistic style has changed, which is related to extralinguistic factors – democratization of society, Russia’s invasion, increasing the Ukrainian language prestige, Ukrainian culture and history presentation, etc. The newspaper images is based on a metaphor, which is skillfully modeled by speakers, realizing various formulas, including traditional and innovative, trendy ones. One can currently view the renewal of the Ukrainian metaphor fund, which generally expands the scope of national metaphors given the specificty of Ukrainians’ mentality, the precedent expressions manifestation, as well as precedent situations for the successful creation of a language game, original meanings modeling. In journalistic style texts, we fix the fashion for so-called phytonyms, created in accordance with the Ukrainian natural philosophy principles, such as: "pumpkin metaphor", "garlic metaphor", "bean metaphor". Thus, Ukrainian media discourse demonstrates a fashion for national, a fashion for language creativity, which is embodied in Ukrainian linguistic culture. The perspective of the research is in tracking and studying the so-called fashion trends in language, in particular fashionable metaphors, in the possibilities of creating a national fund of metaphors, as well as in paying attention to the development of the terminology of fashion linguistics.
"YOUR SABERS AND SPADES WILL NOT TAKE ME, THEY WILL BEND!": THE CONCEPT OF VICTORY IN UKRAINIAN FAIRY TALES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Naumovska Olesia
Published: August 2023

The multi-layeredness and evolution of folk prose is a reflection of the evolution of a person's ideas about themselves and the world around them. The folklore phenomenon "fairy tale" of each people is the matrix that measures the behavioral ideals of the creative people. At the same time, the "queen" of the subgenre paradigm of the fairy tale epic is the magical fairy tale, which to the highest degree reflects worldview orientations at various stages of the development of society. With this in mind, the research made an attempt to understand the concept of VICTORY in the Ukrainian folk fairy tale at the following levels: character, motif, symbol. The main ways of expressing victory by a "gooddoer" character are considered. Three main structures of fairy tales are distinguished, the basis of which is the victory of the "gooddoer" over the "evildoer": the hero acts alone; the hero goes to fight the "evildoer" with other characters, who in the end turn out to be either inactive or traitors; the hero does not act (his functions are performed by a woman). It is found that plot structures in which the hero acts alone demonstrate two types of such heroes: the hero who defeats the "evildoer" by force (strongman, quick-witted strongman), and the hero who wins with the help of cleverness. In the center of research attention is a duel / competition; strength / intelligence of the hero; magic ingredient; attributes of the protagonist; the role of female characters in the hero's victory; treatment of the defeated enemy (if he remains alive); manipulation of the remains of the "evildoer" (if he dies); actions of a fairy tale hero in relation to traitors. The conducted analysis allows us to come to a conclusion about the dominance in the Ukrainian fairy tale epic of reflections of the patriarchy, since the victory over the "evildoer" in the majority of examples (with certain exceptions that preserve the rudiments of gynecocracy) is won by a male character endowed with the qualities of an ideal hero. Indicators of the historical staging of the phenomenon of plots are: the characteristics of the character protagonist, the way the hero wins and the treatment of the body of the defeated antagonist. Chronologically, the oldest can be considered the plots in which the miraculously born hero defeats a serpent in a duel and destroys its body, which is a guarantee of the impossibility of its future resurrection or rebirth.
REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF HOMELAND IN UKRAINIAN MEDIA TEXTS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Pysmenna Iuliia
Published: August 2023

The representation of the concept of the homeland in Ukrainian journalistic texts of the period of the first months after the beginning of armed aggression is studied. The concept's semantic content and connotative potential are analyzed as a reflection in the linguistic material of socially significant ideas that testify to its development in the current socio-historical circumstances in need to protect Ukrainian statehood and national identity. The homeland is considered a uni-versal human value, which at the same time is closely connected with extra-linguistic reality, in particular with the histori-cal stage and socio-political circumstances of the development of a specific state or territory, which a group of people defines as their homeland. The concept of FATHERLAND is closely related to the idea of PATRIOTISM, which is considered in civil, cultural, and economic aspects and actualized through volunteering, resilience, courage, caring and good neighborliness. It has been established that the concept of homeland is manifested in the language through the lexemes homeland, homeland, Ukraine. The linguistic material testifies to a wide associative range of the idea, which actualizes its various aspects. In the analyzed media texts, the FATHERLAND concept is realized through such components of its conceptual sphere as the national war, the war for independence, the ability to resist, freedom and human rights, democracy, ethnic identity, Ukrainian history, language, and culture. The struggle for one's state and its independence leads to a rethinking of the content of the concept, the search for new aspects of national self-identification, which is manifested, in particular, in the system of oppositions: Ukraine - the Soviet past, Ukraine - the aggressor country, Ukraine – Europe. The evolution of the concept in the public consciousness and its reflection in language on the material of media texts of the later period con-stitute prospects for further research.
CHAOS OF WAR AND IDENTITY CRISIS: TYPOLOGICAL DOMINANTS OF NARRATIVES ABOUT TRAUMA IN MODERN UKRAINIAN LITERATURE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Romanenko Olena
Published: August 2023

The article presents a study of the phenomenon of narratives about trauma in modern Ukrainian literature - based on works devoted to the Russian-Ukrainian war. The focus of the study is on two examples: the media project "Another Day: War Diaries" and Oleksandr Mykhed's fairy tale "Cat, Rooster, Cupboard". The purpose of the article is to analyze the attributive features of a story about traumatic events, to clarify the definition of a "trauma novel", and to analyze the genre features of a story about traumatic events that appear in modern Ukrainian literature. Research results and conclusions. Artistic practices of understanding the Russian-Ukrainian war are formed in the context of two trends. The first tendency is neorealism as a special way to reproduce the truth of trauma, the chaos of war, documentary, and impressive facts. The second tendency is to depict fundamental changes in the identity of the characters. This actualizes the trauma novel genre in modern Ukrainian literature. The genre of the trauma novel can be described as a story about the events before, during, or after traumatic events (war, migration, family destruction, violence, genocide, etc.). In such works, the story of the character as a witness or victim of traumatic events is told, and the existential conflict between life and death is described thanks to the principles of self-narrative, family history, fragmentary narrative, etc. This is a special type of understanding of a traumatic event - at the moment of the Catastrophe when the identity crisis of the characters is shown as overcoming silence and creating an individual story inscribed in the collective history. The emergence of such projects as "One more day: war diaries", and the therapeutic story-tale "Cat, Rooster, Cupboard" was influenced by extra-literary factors, in particular mass media, and this determines their typological originality: they combine the collective experience of trauma with individual stories about changing identity and overcoming the consequences of traumatic experiences, forming the language of victory.
