Förebygga, överbrygga, utveckla: Tal-till-text och dess potential att främja elevers textproduktion i grundskolan
Authors:   , Almgren Bäck Gunilla
Published: September 2024

Textual expression is essential for academic achievement and future societal participation. Writing and reading are integrated processes, with reading improving textual coherence and clarity. A substantial proportion of students face challenges in compulsory school due to reading and writing difficulties or dyslexia. However, assistive technology (AT) is available in wordprocessing programs and may support many students' text production. Speech-to-text involves dictation, while text-to-speech enables listening to text. This dissertation in psychology examined AT's effect on students' text production.It also focused on strategies for introducing speech-to-text, students' experiences of AT, and the potential complementary role of this technology in schools' instruction of text production. The dissertation comprises four studies involving 202 students, mainly aged 9–12 years. Studies I-III included students with reading and writing difficulties, or dyslexia, while Study IV included students with varied skills.Study I, a randomized controlled trial, investigated an AT intervention's effect mainly on reading skills and listening comprehension. A follow-up, Study II, was conducted five years later. This study comprised a qualitative thematic analysis of interviews with a subset of participants from Study I. The aim was to describe their experiences with AT in the school setting. Study III used a multiple-baseline single-case design to explore a practice-based AT intervention's effects on text production. Study IV compared speech-to-text with keyboarding using a repeated-measures group design. Results demonstrate that speech-to-text can support text production among students with reading and writing difficulties or dyslexia. Individual variations in outcomes necessitate tailored support. For students of these ages, results indicate improvements in text length, accuracy, and vocabulary diversity.Text-to-speech can aid in effective re-reading and editing of text. Students' experiences with AT highlight both opportunities and challenges in school.These experiences encompass the school's support, students' perspectives on AT and dyslexia, and their utilization of AT during their school years. Addressing speech recognition errors and optimizing AT use in the school environment is essential to prevent difficulties in its application. This approach facilitates employing speech-to-text for compensatory and remediating purposes in students' text production development. Results are discussed in the context of cognitive theory of text production and AT theory, incorporating practical implications for schools and future research.
Ferdinand De Saussure's Syntagmatic And Paradigmatic Concepts of Charles Sander Peirce in The Quran On Qauliyah And Kauniyah Verses: Semiotics Approach
Authors: Abd. Shovy  , Azmy Lulu Ulul
Published: September 2024

This article aims to discuss semiotics with Ferdinand De Saussure's syntagmatic and paradigmatic concepts and Charles Sander Peirce's Grand Theory concept, with the object of study being qauliyah verses and kauniyah verses in the Koran and methodological reconstruction. This research method is qualitative with a library research method, namely looking for literature sources related to the discussion in the form of theses, dissertations, or other articles. The syntagmatic and paradigmatic concepts of Ferdinand De Saussure and Charles Sander Peirce's Grand Theory, namely Semiotic analysis, seek to find a correlation between the meaning of something contained in something (text, sound, event). Semiotics means how humans interpret the things around them or the events of their lives. Augustine distinguishes natural signs from conventional signs; he mentions that they fulfill human psychological needs; they allow humans to describe and remember the world. It also makes the process of human thinking about life and signs about something that happens and moves beyond the realm of human rationality, which is spiritual. Meanwhile, natural signs are natural symptoms occurring around human life in various forms. This theory works by identifying, documenting, and classifying types of signs. The philosophers from the pragmatism school who formulated the semiotic discipline are Charles Sandres Pierce and Ferdinand De Saussure.

Authors: Буркинський Борис , Лисюк Володимир
Published: September 2024

У cтатті викладені матеріали дослідження інфраструктури стратегічних агропродовольчих ринків (САПР). Встановлено, що важливим фактором досягнення високого рівня соціально-економічного розвитку держави є забезпечення ефективного механізму функціонування продовольчого ринку. Визначений перелік САПР, які у період криз, воєнних і повоєнних часів потребують застосування особливих регуляторних механізмів підтримки їх діяльності. Встановлено перелік інфраструктурних об’єктів, що забезпечують діяльність означених ринків Досліджено їх сучасний стан, на який суттєво вплинув воєнний період. До таких відносяться об’єкти енергетики, транспорту, дорожньої структури тощо. Показано, що об’єкти інфраструктури пов’язані стабільними відносинами з об’єктами товарних ринків, оскільки навіть часткова відсутність і порушення взаємозв’язку між ними негативно позначається на їх діяльності. Мета статті полягає у пошуку шляхів вдосконалення забезпечення сприятливих умов для безпечного функціонування об’єктів інфраструктури САПР у повоєнний період. Розглядаються підходи цілеспрямованої підтримки необхідного переліку об’єктів інфраструктури стратегічних ринків, що отримали назву критичні. Пропонується уточнення деяких інституційних положень, зокрема, у Законі України «Про критичну інфраструктуру», щодо організаційних моментів функціонування цих об’єктів у воєнний та повоєнний періоди. Крім того, розроблені пропозиції щодо скорочення регуляторних витрат на відновлення і розбудову об’єктів критичної інфраструктури означених ринків.

Ділове адміністрування процесів організації діяльності підприємств в умовах діджиталізації
Authors: Дроздова Валерія , Таранова Дарія , Кара Григорій
Published: September 2024

Метою статті є аналіз сутності цифрових технологій, їхньої ролі у сфері підприємництва, а також, аналіз проблем та стратегії впровадження цифрових технологій в діяльність підприємства. Оскільки для сучасного бізнесу притаманно пришвидшення всіх бізнес-процесів завдяки можливостям діджиталізації, то актуальним стає впровадження технічних та технологічних змін у всі сфери життєдіяльності підприємства. Завданням статті є з’ясування поняття цифрової трансформації та цифрових технологій та користі, що отримує підприємство при їх застосуванні; встановлення складових що впливають на процес впровадження цифрових технологій у підприємницьку діяльність,  з’ясування проблем з якими потенційно може стикатись підприємство при їх впровадженні, а також, переваг для організації бізнес-процесів, що дає перехід до цифрового середовища. Аналізуються думки спеціалістів, щодо використання інформаційних технологій та підвищення завдяки ним ефективності бізнес процесів. Необхідно підкреслити, що для успішного впровадження змін керівництво повинно розробити порядок дій - стратегію впровадження, що дозволить на всіх етапах підтримувати кроки щодо діджиталізації. Проблема якісного адміністрування є актуальною, бо потрібно приділяти увагу не тільки технічній/технологічній складовій, але й роботі із персоналом, який не завжди розуміє потребу у змінах та може спричиняти опір. Окремо зазначено, що зміни у бізнес-процесах підприємств потребують законодавчої підтримки від держави, бо частина процесів обов’язково повинна бути урегульована нормативними актами.

Authors: Quiroz-González Eliana , Espinal-Guevara Luisa , Villavicencio-Ayub Erika
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: analizar el papel de la conciliación trabajo–familia en el tecnoestrés y la tecnoadicción en los trabajadores colombianos. Este objetivo está articulado con la necesidad de estudiar recursos que protejan a los trabajadores de los riesgos psicosociales emergentes. Método: se realizó un estudio no experimental, transversal con estrategia asociativa, en la que se contó con 512 participantes (M=326 y H=186). Se aplicó una ficha sociodemográfica y cuestionarios REDtecnoestrés e interacción trabajo–familia (SWING). Se realizó un análisis univariado y bivariado. Se diseñó un modelo de senderos. Resultados: se identificó una correlación negativa y significativa de conciliación trabajo–familia con displacer (r=-.206, p<.001), uso compulsivo (r=-.169, p<.000) y excesivo (r=-.233, p<.000). Además, los valores estimados en el modelo de senderos indican relaciones entre conciliación trabajo–familia con displacer (r=-.21, p<.001), uso compulsivo (r=-.17, p<.001) y excesivo de las tecnologías (r=-.23, p<.001), éstas son moderadas e inversamente proporcionales, mientras que con rechazo (r=-.02) no existe significancia. Lo anterior, significa que a mayor conciliación trabajo–familia menor displacer, uso compulsivo y excesivo de las tecnologías. Conclusiones: se determina que la conciliación trabajo familia constituye un recurso, en la medida que puede amortiguar riesgos psicosociales como el tecnoestrés y la tecnoadicción, que hay una relación negativa entre la conciliación trabajo-familia y el displacer por el uso de la tecnología, lo que sugiere que aquellos trabajadores que logran equilibrar con éxito su trabajo y sus responsabilidades familiares pueden llegar a experimentar menos estrés y ansiedad relacionados con el uso de la tecnología.

Combinación de un enfoque heurístico y de simulación para la eva-luación de rutas en la preparación de pedidos de un centro de distri-bución
Authors: Segura Dorado Jhon Alexander , Paz Orozco Helmer , Rubiano Ovalle Oscar
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: Optimizar recolección de pedidos en los centros de distribución (CD), una tarea que implica tiempo, mano de obra y costos significativos. Metodología: Se utilizó un modelo matemático basado en la programación lineal entera mixta (MILP) para minimizar la distancia total recorrida durante la recolección de pedidos. Este modelo se aplicó a un caso colombiano y se complementó con un modelo de simulación para evaluar escenarios de mejora. Resultados: El modelo matemático generó cuatro rutas óptimas para la recolección de pedidos. Dos de las rutas utilizaron un enrutamiento en forma de S, una utilizó el enrutamiento con retorno y otra combinó ambas políticas, reduciendo así la distancia total en un 5% para completar el proceso de recogida de pedidos. Posteriormente, el modelo de simulación se utilizó para evaluar tres escenarios de mejora: i) aumentar la capacidad de los carros de picking, ii) aumentar el número de carros de picking, y iii) aumentar ambos parámetros simultáneamente.  Conclusiones: El mejor resultado se obtuvo al aumentar la capacidad de los carros de picking en un 33%, lo que redujo la distancia recorrida en un 49,5% y tuvo un impacto positivo en otros indicadores operativos definidos. Este innovador enfoque combinado del problema de las rutas puede utilizarse para explorar nuevas mejoras.

Authors: Sequera Salas Victoria Jetzabeth
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: analizar las situaciones de violencia y pobreza presentes en las trayectorias vitales de seis mujeres (cis) adultas-mayores que ejercen o han ejercido la prostitución de calle en la ciudad de Caracas-Venezuela. Método: es una investigación empírica-analítica realizada entre el período 2022-2023, en la cual se empleó un enfoque epistémico inductivo y una metodología cualitativa basada en entrevistas a profundidad. Resultados: en las trayectorias vitales hay un continuum de experiencias asociadas a relaciones violentas, condiciones precarias e inseguridades que persisten antes, durante y más allá de la prostitución; pero la incursión en esta práctica tiene un papel sine qua non para configurar la continuidad. El inicio y permanencia en la prostitución dicen mucho acerca de la profundización de las problemáticas de base y su prolongación a lo largo de la experiencia vital, cómo el acceso y ejercicio de derechos ha sido y es un desafío para las participantes. Conclusiones: la violencia y pobreza están asociadas a la garantía y el disfrute de derechos básicos. A condiciones objetivas de existencia determinadas por la ausencia de recursos, el deterioro de la salud, la necesidad de atención médica/sanitaria, la responsabilidad de cuidado de otros miembros de la familia, la ausencia de redes sociofamiliares seguras, la falta de formación académica y de capital social para optar por otras fuentes de ingresos.

Emotional Intelligence and Engagement in Language Learning: A Mixed-Methods Exploration of Their Impact on English Language Proficiency
Authors: Aljasir Nouf
Published: September 2024

This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and engagement in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning among 362 Saudi adult learners. Data were collected using the Emotional Intelligence in Language Learning Questionnaire (EILLQ) and the Language Learning Engagement Questionnaire (LLEQ), which were specifically developed for this study, along with semi-structured interviews and learners’ reflective journals. The findings revealed that the learners exhibited moderate to high levels of EI across all its five components, with motivation receiving the highest mean score, followed by self-awareness and social skills. Self-regulation and empathy also showed moderate levels, suggesting a well-rounded emotional foundation among the learners. Similarly, the participants displayed moderate to high levels of engagement across behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions, with mean scores that reflected a balanced engagement profile. Additionally, the study found a strong positive correlation between EI and engagement in EFL learning. Both EI and engagement significantly impacted English language proficiency, with engagement showing a slightly stronger influence. These findings highlight the critical role of EI in enhancing learner engagement and language proficiency, which suggests that educational strategies focused on developing EI could significantly improve EFL learning experiences and outcomes.
Literatura ruso-soviética en la editorial Claridad. Apuntes sobre el catálogo y las traducciones directas del ruso
Authors:   Universidad de Buenos Aires, García Brunelli Florencia
Published: September 2024

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos mostrar y explicar el aumento de la cantidad de literatura soviética y de textos políticos de autores del pensamiento revolucionario ruso que se da hacia la década de los treinta del siglo XX en Argentina, y la tendencia creciente hacia una predilección por la traducción directa del ruso como modalidad privilegiada de circulación de estos textos en la editorial Claridad. Proponemos la hipótesis de que la difusión de la literatura soviética y de ensayos políticos en traducción directa se encuentra en sintonía, en primer lugar, con las afinidades ideológicas de la editorial con la Revolución rusa y con la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas (URSS); en segundo lugar, con la radicalización política de los grupos de izquierda nucleados en torno a Claridad a raíz del golpe de Estado de José Félix Benito Uriburu y el consecuente redireccionamiento del proyecto editorial hacia un carácter más político que cultural; y, por último, con la necesidad de la editorial de establecer un puente directo entre Argentina y la URSS, en un contexto en el que proliferan las noticias periodísticas sobre la realidad soviética, tanto de la “prensa burguesa” como de intelectuales argentinos de izquierdas que viajaban a la URSS. Asimismo, buscamos explicar el segundo viraje a partir de 1935, momento en que la editorial vuelve a publicar autores cumbre del realismo del siglo XIX y textos sobre personalidades y acontecimientos de la historia rusa. Planteamos que esto se debe a que la democracia se vuelve un modelo posible para varios sectores de las izquierdas, al calor de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el crecimiento de los fascismos.
El rol de las traductoras en la circulación de la literatura hispanoamericana contemporánea en Francia: estrategias, procesos, redes y militancias
Authors:   Cergy-Paris Université, de-la-Vega Io Paula ,   Universidad de Granada
Published: September 2024

El campo editorial francés ha sido, desde el siglo XX, una pieza clave en los procesos de difusión global de la literatura latinoamericana, gracias al trabajo de numerosos intermediarios. Sin embargo, la idea de la traducción como actividad inferior a la escritura ha provocado la invisibilización histórica de la figura del traductor y de la traductora. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo visibilizar e indagar en el rol activo de las traductoras de literatura hispanoamericana contemporánea en Francia, y su posible influencia en el relativamente reciente auge de la literatura escrita por autoras. Desde una perspectiva sociológica materialista, se realizaron entrevistas semidirigidas de récit de vie a ocho traductoras, interrogando las estrategias utilizadas para hacerse un lugar en el gremio, las posibles militancias detrás de la aplicación de dichas estrategias, las condiciones materiales y el aspecto político de la actividad de la traducción. Se obtuvieron datos relativos a las vías de acceso a la profesión, contratos y remuneración, a las redes constituidas, a los márgenes de acción y negociación de las traductoras, dependiendo de las posiciones simbólicas que cada una ocupa en el campo editorial francés y a las asociaciones por la promoción de la traducción literaria. Lo anterior permitió definir su rol como una mediación multinivel (antes, durante y después del acto de la traducción), con presencia de ciertas militancias en la praxis y en los discursos de las traductoras entrevistadas: la mejora de las condiciones materiales de la profesión, la visibilidad del gremio y la bibliodiversidad.

Este artículo presenta una caracterización y propone una periodización de la traducción editorial en Uruguay en función de los primeros datos obtenidos del uso de herramientas computacionales, desde la perspectiva de la big translation history. La fuente principal de esta investigación es el catálogo informatizado de la Biblioteca Nacional de Uruguay, cuyos datos —registros de textos literarios en traducción, extraídos a través de búsquedas por palabra clave y por sección— fueron curados y complementados con otras fuentes de información, como el catálogo de la Biblioteca del Poder Legislativo. Este trabajo problematiza cómo la dimensión traductiva opera sobre las descripciones realizadas acerca de las imprentas en un período temprano y las editoriales en la historia de la traducción en Uruguay. La caracterización primaria recogió los casos más frecuentes de entes editoriales en el corpus y la propuesta de ordenamiento en el eje temporal (pero no solamente) dio cuenta del asentamiento de los distintos modelos de publicación y puesta en circulación editorial de las traducciones literarias en Uruguay.

The literature search on the prevalence and severity of dental caries in 12-year-olds in Arctic and Subarctic Russia was performed using eLIBRARY.RU for publications in Russian and PubMed for publications in English, for the period from 1998 to 2023. Furthermore, information was gathered from national dental examination reports.
Results: The initial search yielded 279 publications. Following screening and eligibility assessment using inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 publications were selected for qualitative synthesis. According to the metaanalysis, the newly arrived residents in Salekhard had the highest prevalence and severity of dental caries among 12-year-olds, accounting for 98.33% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 95.04–99.97) and 7.82%, respectively. The lowest prevalence and severity of dental caries were observed in Segezha (Republic of Karelia): 54.98% (95% CI: 48.21–61.65) and 1.81%, respectively. The weighted prevalence based on systematic sampling was 79.33% (95% CI: 74.70–83.62). In the majority of cities where the assessment was performed at least twice, the prevalence of dental caries decreased over time; however, there were no significant differences.
Conclusion: The study found that dental caries were more severe in 12-year-olds in the Russian Arctic than in other northern countries; however, the prevalence decreased over time without achieving statistical significance.

BACKGROUND: Every year more than 1 million new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed worldwide, with approximately 30% patients already having distant metastases. Colorectal cancer is often complicated, which makes chemotherapy challenging or, in some cases, impossible, therefore worsening the prognosis. As the first step, such patients need to undergo surgical treatment, in order to eliminate existing complications. However, what volume of surgery remains a discussion point among ongologists: a colostomy or a cytoreductive r2 resection to remove the primary tumor.
AIM: To analyze the results of complex treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and to optimize surgical treatment approaches.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a study in Samara regional clinical Oncology dispensary (Samara, Russia), which included patients with metastatic colorectal cancer complicated by intestinal obstruction. Before treatment, all patients were examined according with current clinical standards. Subsequently, the patients were divided into two groups: the first group included patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery (r2 resection to remove the primary lesion due to the presence of colonic obstruction), and the second group included patients who underwent palliative surgery (colostomy or a bypass anastomosis in order to eliminate intestinal obstruction without removing the primary tumor).
RESULTS: We found that postoperative complications in patients who had undergone primary tumor removal were significantly more prevalent. At the same time, however, the number of complications at the stage of chemotherapy, combined with angiogenesis inhibitor therapy, was significantly greater than in the group of patients in whom primary lesion was not removed. Complications that arose during chemotherapy affected the number of chemotherapy cycles performed. Discontinuation of chemotherapy affected event-free and overall survival.
CONCLUSION: Timely identification and elimination of existing complications by removing the primary tumor focus before chemotherapy is an important component of an individual approach in order to develop treatment optimal tactics for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Oligometastatic skin melanoma: molecular-genetic characteristics and the effectiveness of surgical intervention

Published: September 2024

“Oligometastatic” represents a so-called transitional stage between localized and disseminated process. The process itself is characterized by the presence of a primary tumor and a limited number of distant solitary metastases. The disease progression in oligometastatic cancer is slower compared to the massive dissemination, and the prognosis is more favorable. Oligometastatic process has been described in many malignancies, including melanoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, and others. This article focuses on oligometastatic melanoma and the role of surgical treatment in this scenario of disease progression.
One of the early theories of oligometastatic cancer was proposed in 1995. According to this theory, malignant neoplasms first develop as a single focus of initial (primary) tumor, followed by solitary involvement of distant tissues and organs (oligometastatic phase), and later progress to full dissemination and massive spread throughout the body. Weak points of this theory became evident as clinical practice showed that in some patients, the oligometastatic form of the disease did not progress to systemic dissemination, indicating that oligometastasis in this patient cohort was not an intermediate stage of disease development, but rather a separate form of tumor progression.
Another theory, encompassing the concept of oligometastasis, suggests that tumor malignancy is inherently a disseminated process, and the primary tumor and primary (solitary) oligometastases are simply the first detectable foci large enough to be visualized by diagnostic methods. However, similar to the previous theory, this approach fails to explain prolonged periods (or even constant presence) of oligometastatic disease in specific patient cohorts.
The modern understanding of the cause of oligometastasis is complex and consists of several statements. It is based on diverse molecular and genetic characteristics of malignant neoplasms, even within the same nosological entity and histological subtype. For metastatic process to take place, tumor cells must possess certain characteristics such as loss of adhesion, increased invasiveness, migratory capacity, and the ability to adapt and thrive in new microenvironments.
This article emphasizes the importance of surgical treatment in cases of oligometastatic disease and provides information on the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying this process.

Aim. To compare the efficacy of adding original moxonidine and its generics to previous ineffective antihypertensive therapy in patients with poorly controlled arterial hypertension (AH).Material and methods. This observational prospective non-randomized study included 120 patients with poorly controlled blood pressure on the previous antihypertensive therapy. All patients underwent clinical evaluation, including anthropometric and laboratory indexes, and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (24-h BPM) at baseline and after 12 weeks of observation. Office systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment. During the observation period, 4 equal groups were formed: group 1, Physiotens was added to the treatment; group 2, Moxonitex; group 3, Moxonidine SZ; and group 4, Moxonidine Canon. Statistical analysis was performed with the StatTech v.4.2.7 software (© OOO StatTech, Russia).Results. After 4 weeks of therapy, the BP target was achieved significantly more frequently in group 1 (63% of patients) compared to groups 2 (36.7% of patients), 3 (16.7% of patients), and 4 (16.7% of patients) (p<0.05). At 12 weeks, office SBP, DBP, and HR were significantly decreased in all groups, but the decrease was significantly greater in group 1. The therapy was associated with a more pronounced decrease in all studied 24-h BPM parameters in the Physiotens group than in other groups, as well as with a significantly more frequent normalization of the 24-h BP profile, in 66.7% of patients vs. 46.7%, 33.4%, and 23.2% of patients in groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively.Conclusion. The treatment with original moxonidine demonstrated advantages over generic drugs in terms of achieving the BP goal, reducing office BP and HR, and improving 24-h BPM parameters.

Published: September 2024

Today, organizations of all sizes face many difficulties in protecting their data, systems, and tools. One issue of particular concern is the insider threat. Insiders seek to use their privileges to undermine data confidentiality, validity, and availability. Any sabotage committed by someone within a company significantly harms the company’s integrity, credibility, and financial profits. Automated feature extraction methods face challenges when used to classify data due to their tendency sometimes to return inaccurate results, leading to overfitting. Furthermore, analyzing irregular data requires extensive manual feature detection. We propose an algorithm that represents an expert system that detects insiders and determines their risk level as well. After that, the decisive step will be to intersect the results obtained from a classification using multiple algorithms with those obtained from the internal detection algorithm using expert rules. This research uses several classification methods that can deal with this type of data to predict the status of insiders within a computer network. The main goal of this study is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of identifying insiders within a computer network. Model performance evaluation includes important parameters such as precision, recall, and F1 score. The highest classification accuracy is obtained at 0.99, and after combining these results with the results of the proposed algorithm, the accuracy is 100%. These results highlight the remarkable ability of these models to detect internal states accurately, providing encouraging possibilities for improving cyber security within a computer network.
