Exploration on multimodal data recognition method for Internet of Things based on deep learning
Authors: Zheng Xuan , Sun Zheng
Published: May 2024

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, a large amount of sensor data, images, voice, and other data are being widely used, bringing new opportunities for intelligent and cross-domain information fusion. Effective feature extraction and accurate recognition remain urgent issues to be addressed. This article explores the application of deep learning (DL) in multimodal data recognition methods of the IoT and proposes path optimization for multimodal data recognition methods of the IoT under DL. This article also provides in-depth analysis and discussion on the optimization of multimodal data recognition models based on DL, as well as specific measures for optimizing the path of multimodal data recognition based on DL. In this paper, the long short-term memory (LSTM) technology is introduced, and the LSTM technology is used to optimize the multi-modal data recognition method. It can be seen from the comparison that the processing efficiency of data analysis, information fusion, speech recognition, and emotion analysis of the multimodal data recognition method optimized by LSTM technology is 0.29, 0.35, 0.31, and 0.24 higher, respectively, than that of data analysis, information fusion, speech recognition, and emotion analysis before optimization. Introducing DL methods in multimodal data recognition of the IoT can effectively improve the effectiveness of data recognition and fusion and achieve higher levels of recognition for speech recognition and sentiment analysis.

Background: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive impairment, movement abnormalities, and behavioral disturbances. The Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT) is a widely used tool to detect cognitive decline in HD. Variations in SCWT formats—horizontal (original) and vertical (Golden)—may influence performance, given HD’s impact on cognitive and oculomotor abilities. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the horizontal and Golden vertical SCWT formats in detecting cognitive decline in HD, and to determine how performance may have been influenced by eye movement abnormalities. Methods: Forty-five participants with genetically confirmed HD were recruited. Both SCWT formats were administered to each participant in a counterbalanced fashion. Individual performance of all three sections on each format was standardized across 2 different norms. Raw and normed scores on each variation were compared and correlated with eye movement ratings on the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale. Results: The Golden variation elicited significantly slower responses, particularly in the Word Reading section, across two benchmark norms. Statistical analysis revealed significant performance differences between the two formats. Correlations between vertical eye movement ratings and performance on the Golden SCWT were highly significant, highlighting the impact of oculomotor coordination on cognitive assessments in HD. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of considering test format in cognitive assessments for HD. The Golden vertical SCWT demonstrates increased sensitivity in detecting deficits in HD, possibly linked to vertical saccade abnormalities. These insights are important for improving the sensitivity of cognitive assessments and monitoring disease progression in HD research and clinical practice.
Predicting macroeconomic indicators from online activity data: A review
Authors: Costa Eduardo André , Silva Maria Eduarda
Published: May 2024

Predictors of macroeconomic indicators rely primarily on traditional data sourced from National Statistical Offices. However, new data sources made available from recent technological advancements, namely data from online activities, have the potential to bring about fresh perspectives on monitoring economic activities and enhance the accuracy of forecasting. This paper reviews the literature on predicting macroeconomic indicators, such as the gross domestic product, unemployment rate, consumer price index or private consumption, based on online activity data sourced from Google Trends, Twitter (rebranded to X) and mobile devices. Based on a systematic search of publications indexed on the Web of Science and Scopus databases, the analysis of a final set of 56 publications covers the publication history of the data sources, the methods used to model the data and the predictive accuracy of information from such data sources. The paper also discusses the limitations and challenges of using online activity data for macroeconomic predictions. The review concludes that online activity data can be a valuable source of information for predicting macroeconomic indicators. However, one must consider certain limitations and challenges to improve the models’ accuracy and reliability.

Sacroiliitis in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) was previously considered rare, mild, and non-disabling disorder, but recent studies have demonstrated gross axial impairment in many patients with PsA. The lack of a generally accepted definition of axial involvement in sacroiliitis in PsA worldwide leads to difficulties and doubts when establishing a diagnosis and determining treatment strategy for patients who often require urgent therapeutic measures. This article discusses a patient with sacroiliitis who required a complex differential diagnosis, including specific infections. It reviews the clinical, laboratory and instrumental features of aseptic and septic sacroiliitis. It is essential for specialists to be aware of a range of diseases, including infectious ones, associated with sacroiliitis, and to verify and exclude them in order to provide high-quality medical care.

On Purported Physical Realizations of So-called Quantum Information Technologies
Authors: Li Guang-Liang
Published: May 2024

Considered by Einstein as “the fundamental dice-game”, the quantum-mechanical description of quantum objects in the real world is controversial. According to Einstein’s understanding of the physical world, the quantum-mechanical description is incomplete, but rendering quantum mechanics complete might be possible. Derived by resorting to a hidden-variable theory, Bell inequalities attempted to render quantum mechanics complete somehow. Unfortunately, the attempts all failed. More unfortunately, the failure and the widely accepted but erroneous interpretation of the failure resulted in giving up either or both of locality and realism, the two fundamental hypotheses for scientific research, and hence opened the door to so-called quantum information technologies. Consequently, quantum information technologies all stem from “the fundamental dice-game”. Based on an important mathematical fact irrelevant to any issue about measurement instruments or accuracies of measurement outcomes, namely, precise space and time coordinates are practically unattainable by measurements, which reflects a general principle regarding the nature of measurements (henceforth principle of measurements), this paper reports the following findings: (a) Einstein’s understanding of the physical world is correct. (b) Without resorting to any hidden-variable theory, rendering quantum mechanics complete is possible while keeping the mathematical setting for quantum mechanics (i.e., Hilbert space) essentially unchanged; therefore, eligible applications of quantum mechanics, which are all irrelevant to “the fundamental dice-game”, will also remain unchanged. (c) As fictitious results in “the fundamental dice-game” based on the problematic postulate of quantum superposition in current quantum theory, quantum information technologies are all physically unrealizable. A very regrettable conclusion then follows inevitably from the above findings: An extremely huge amount of time, effort, funding, and investment in realizing physically unrealizable quantum information technologies has been wasted because of “the fundamental dice-game”, which has seriously damaged science!
FEATURES OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL BURNOUT AND THE EXPERIENCE OF JEALOUSY AMONG EMPLOYEES INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The article presents the results of a theoretical analysis and an empirical study of the peculiarities of the relationship between emotional burnout and the phenomenon of envy among education workers. Psychophysical, emotional, intellectual, behavioral, socio-psychological symptoms of emotional burnout are distinguished. Its development is related both to external factors of the environment and the organization of activities, and to personal characteristics. Envy is a complex psychological phenomenon that is a mechanism of destructive behavior. Having a number of positive functions, envy is mostly interpreted as a negative feeling in society. Envy is determined by the lack of internal worldview and psychological balance, harmony. It occurs in dependent, insecure individuals with problematic self-esteem and a history of psychological trauma. The purpose of the study is to determine the characteristics of the relationship between emotional burnout and the phenomenon of envy among employees of higher education institutions. Scientific novelty. It was found that subjects with the “Envy-hostile” type have less pronounced symptoms of emotional burnout. They expect a more positive attitude from others, are self-confident, have self-acceptance and self-sympathy, and less self-blame. Subjects with the “Envy-distrust” type are characterized by a certain degree of hostility to their own “I”, self-rejection, emphasis on their own shortcomings, inadequate self-esteem and readiness for self-blame, reduced self-interest, expectation of a positive attitude towards them from those around them, and a decrease in self-control. Psychological characteristics of people with different types of envy are one of the factors that influence the development of emotional burnout among employees of higher education institutions, since the attitude towards oneself and the world determines the mental and emotional state of the individual. Conclusions. The results obtained in the study confirmed the proposed hypothesis, namely the assumption that employees of higher education institutions diagnosed with a high level of envy-mistrust are more prone to the development of emotional burnout than employees with pronounced envy-hostility. Key words: emotional burnout, envy, employees of educational institutions.

At the time of brutal, unprovoked military aggression by the russian federation, our state continues targeted work on the systematic reform of military education. Current events and trends in the military-political arena indicate the need for a significant rethinking of the theoretical studies and methodological developments of military pedagogues, psychologists and psycho-physiologists regarding the directions and quality of unit commanders’ psychological training. The process of training specialists of the Armed Forces and other branches of the security and defense sector is accompanied not only by increasing the requirements for their military and professional competence, but also by improving the officer corps’ psychological training. The purpose of the article is to generalize the experience of psychological training of future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at military higher educational institutions and to outline proposals for its optimization. Methodology. The effectiveness of implementing the practice of training military specialists in the armies of NATO countries into the educational space of Ukraine was analyzed; problematic issues related to the organization of future officers’ psychological training at military higher educational institutions are summarized. Results. The necessity of designing and implementing a pedagogical system that specifies the relevant tasks, diversifies the forms and technologies for the formation of future officers’ psychological readiness for professional activity was proven; the results of monitoring studies of the dynamics of officers’ psychological readiness to implement new professional competence were presented; measures for the formation of future officers’ psychological readiness for professional activity at military higher educational institutions were proposed. Data were obtained indicating the effectiveness of their implementation at military higher educational institutions. Recommendations for optimizing the process of forming future tactical-level officers’ psychological readiness while training at higher education institutions with specific training conditions were formulated. Key words: higher military educational institutions, NATO, future officers’ training, psychological readiness, reflexive approach, components of readiness.

Published: May 2024

The key goal of any enterprise is to maximize its profit. Achieving this goal lies in the active use of economic security measures. Thus, the economic security of the enterprise is a continuous process that guarantees the stability and stability of the economic environment. It is natural that the current socio-economic and geopolitical instability in the world provokes a significant negative impact on the activities of enterprises. Therefore, for their effective functioning and further development in the conditions of destabilizing factors of the external environment, the necessary level of their economic security must be constantly maintained. The global nature of the negative impact of destabilizing factors on economic security makes it necessary to turn to the experience of foreign countries regarding the mechanisms of its provision. The article identifies a number of factors that exert the main influence on the economic security of the enterprise in recent years. The approaches of various scientists to the definition and content of the concept of economic security have been studied. The components of the economic security system of the enterprise are illustrated. The main goals of increasing the level of economic security of the enterprise have been systematized. The reaction of the European Union to threats to economic security in the region due to the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war is determined. Using the example of Japan, the impact of the war on the economic security of hundreds of enterprises that play an important role in the economy of this country is determined in detail. Research was conducted in terms of such components as revision of risk assessments of other regions, change of suppliers, increase in costs from sanctions, careful selection of business partners, suppliers and customers, suspension or closure of the enterprise, decrease in earnings. Measures implemented by Japanese companies to support economic security are analyzed. The experience of Germany and the USA in supporting the economic security of enterprises was studied, with the specification of the measures taken for this purpose. The parallel of the specified measures to support economic security with the functioning of domestic enterprises was carried out. Achievements and forecasts regarding the future level of their economic security are highlighted.
CURRENT TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE SAHEL REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FORMATION OF A MULTIPOLAR WORLD
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Kalchenko Tymur
Published: May 2024

The problem of the article highlights the poorly researched problem of the formation of regional cen- ters of influence in the process of creating a multipolar world. It is emphasized that the traditional coordinate system of the world system is experiencing significant changes, new centers and centers of influence are being formed. It has been established that the African continent is of great interest to individual states, organizations, and corpo- rations, and its importance for ensuring global stability and predictability of development is becoming decisive. It is noted that in recent years the continent is going through a period of political and economic transformations with a rejection of mono-export specialization and a focus on diversified breakthrough strategies. This is accompanied by the final destruction of the remnants of economic colonialism. As an example, the multifaceted processes taking place in the Sahel zone, a zone of priority influence of France, were considered. It is shown how the latter gradually loses its cementing influence on African countries, which not only get rid of its political dictates, but also try to form alternative economic enclaves with their own currency. At the same time, the processes of intensifying the cooperation of the Sahel countries with the G20, BRICS, etc. were considered. A certain problem of breaking traditional contacts with the metropolis for the region has also been identified and further transformations in the near future have been predicted. It is shown that the recent political transformations in a number of leading countries of the Sahel have determined new vectors for the development of the region, which today is becoming one of the key priorities of the investment policy of India, China and others. Among the key countries of the region, Niger and Gabon are analyzed, which, becoming the path of final decolonization, largely determine the agenda and undermine the European monopoly. At the same time, this significantly affects the stability of both Africa and the EU. It was determined that the latter still retains the monetary union of African countries as the last source of influence, while simultaneously losing military and political. At the same time, African countries are faced with the task of the fastest search for optimal cooperation both on the continent and outside it.

The relevance of the topic of the conducted research is proven. It was established that construction enterprises are important, which ensure the functioning of other spheres of activity in the economy of the state. They create conditions for ensuring the livelihood and quality of the population. Along with this, in recent years there has been a slowdown in the development of construction enterprises, a decrease in the main indicators of activity, a reduction in the level of use of intellectual and working capital, production and economic potential. There is a decrease in the volume of production and sale of products, an imbalance of logistics and stakeholder relations to ensure the functioning of construction enterprises. The goal of the research to identify the specifics of the activities of enterprises in the construction sector has been achieved. The following tasks were solved: characteristics of development directions of construction enterprises; identifying the possibilities of using modern tools to counter negative phenomena. The purpose of the research is to identify the peculiarities of the construction industry. As part of the research, the following tasks are solved to achieve the results: – characteristics of development directions of construction enterprises; identification of the possibilities of using modern tools for combating negative phenomena. Separated approaches to determining the development of construction enterprises. It is proposed to define the intellectual economic system of construction enterprises as a set of economic, geospatial, safety, and social components that are developed by applying modern mathematical methods and models, artificial intelligence, information and analytical support and tools and form the basis for making management decisions in the context of the development of construction enterprises. The theoretical and methodological provisions regarding the assessment of the development of construction enterprises are proposed, which are aimed at determining the relevant factors, with the construction of a multi-level system of indicators and the use of qualitative and formal (quantitative) methods and mathematical models to determine an integral indicator, the value of which allows forming a quantitative basis for making informed management decisions . In addition, the integral indicator of development is a generalizing criterion for the functioning of construction enterprises, which is influenced by the factors of the formation and use of the intellectual economic system.

The relevance of conducting the research "Innovations in HR management: modern trends and systemic approach of international companies" is determined by a set of main factors that affect the modern business context and require adaptation of human resource management strategies. One of the important aspects that de- termines the relevance of this study is the globalization of labor markets. International companies face increasing competition for highly qualified specialists in the global labor market. In order to effectively attract and retain the best specialists, there is a need to implement innovative strategies in the field of human resources management. This research justifies its relevance in the context of responding to challenges arising in a global, technologically advanced and culturally diverse business environment. The presented factors indicate the need to implement a systematic approach to human resources management in international companies in order to ensure their stability, competitiveness and successful adaptation to the rapidly changing environment. The transition to remote work and the formation of global teams present HR management with the task of developing strategies for effective virtual communication, as well as adapting to the difference in time zones and cultural characteristics. The importance of talent development in different geographic regions is a strategic element of success for international companies. This includes the implementation of individualized development programs and the active search for talent within the organization itself. Constant challenges related to the personnel crisis and the retention of specialists necessitate innovative strategies in the field of human resources management in order to ensure a high level of job satisfaction and retention of key personnel. The importance of these challenges indicates the need for a systemic approach, including the integration of innovation in all stages of HR processes, from recruiting to leadership development. This research is considered critical to the successful functioning of international companies in the global business environment.

Using modern tools – the analytical platform Deductor – the method of data clustering analyzed socio-economic differences between the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in terms of their inclusive development. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Inclusive Development Index (IDI) in our time is promoted as an adjunct and even a substitute for the indicator Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the results of modeling by the Kohonen map method, sixteen countries of Central and Eastern Europe (including Ukraine) were involved in the study, which, on the basis of intellectual data processing, were grouped into three clusters based on the analysis of twelve X1...X12 indicators selected to characterize inclusive development. For each of the clusters, the characteristics of inclusive development for those countries included in the corresponding cluster were identified and analyzed. The cluster with the conditional number "0" includes 6 countries (Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Latvia, Poland and Croatia), which have relatively high indicators of the economic and environmental component of inclusive development, but relatively low standards of the social component of inclusive development. In addition to Poland, these countries have a relatively small population. All countries in cluster "0" are faced with demographic challenges, such as a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in the average age of the population. This cluster "0" includes Estonia - a country that belongs to developed countries when calculating the of Inclusive Development Index, despite the fact that the remaining countries in this cluster belong to developing countries. The cluster with the conditional number "1" includes countries (the Czech Republic, Slovenia and the Slovak Republic) that have a relatively high level of GDP per capita and a high level of labor productivity, that is, they have relatively high indicators of the economic component of inclusive development. These countries also observe relatively high standards of the social component and the environmental component of inclusive development. The cluster with the conditional number "2" includes countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine), which are characterized by low GDP per capita and low median household income, that is, these countries have low indicators of the economic component of inclusive development. These countries also observe relatively low standards of the social and environmental component of inclusive development.
L'estraneo. Organi migranti in trapiantologia
Authors: Corsa Rita
Published: May 2024

In questo lavoro, l'autore affronta la questione del rapporto tra il trapianto d'organi e l'esperienza migratoria. Nella pratica trapiantologica gli organi "migrano", prolungando la loro stessa esistenza e, nel contempo, garantendo vita al ricevente. L'esperienza di trapianto d'organo colpisce non solo il corpo, ma anche il senso del Sé, e il processo integrativo è molto complesso, perché l'accoglienza è inseparabile dall'intrusione. L'alienante esperienza di tra-pianto rivela lo straniero nel nostro stesso corpo. Il nuovo organo, infatti, è un oggetto forte-mente ambiguo, che evoca il freudiano concetto Unheimlich. Nello scritto l'autore tenta di in-dividuare dei percorsi analitici che favoriscano l'integrazione psicosomatica degli organi tra-piantati.
Enhancing Performance Management Systems in a challenging environment
Authors: Broccardo Laura , Alfiero Simona , Culasso Francesca
Published: May 2024

Amidst the backdrop of military conflicts, climate change, pandemics, and social disparities, it is clear that firms must acquire the necessary skills to effectively learn, respond promptly, and mitigate these global occurrences. Increased invest-ment in the deployment of robust and efficient performance management sys-tems is necessary to effectively lead firms in implementing their corporate strategy. Performance measurement systems encompass many processes, methods, and tools that are designed to quantitatively assess critical factors in order to facilitate the execution of a strategy. Moreover, these systems may serve as catalysts to promote debates and conversations, leading to the identification of improvement activities for corporate goals and performance. As a result, firms can achieve more rational growth. Moreover, when used and adjusted correctly, performance as-sessment systems enable firms to adapt and progress in accordance with the eco-nomic and social environment, as well as technological advancements, thus facing challenging contexts. Indeed, in performance measurement systems, it is crucial to ensure that the pa-rameters and measurement methods are appropriately adjusted. This is necessary to avoid a situation where the company's strategic goals, such as digitalization or sustainability, are measured in an unsuitable manner, delayed, and without align-ment with the formulated strategy or necessary adaptations. The volatility caused by external variables, such as emerging technology, envi-ronmental issues, crises, and organizational restructuring, influences and drives companies to implement and increase the utilization of performance measure-ment systems, which must be custom-designed to be aligned with the company's requirements. Indeed, the consensus in the research is that there is no universally applicable performance management system. Instead, its design is contingent up-on contextual factors such as the environment, technology, strategy, and culture.
Exploring the nexus between corporate digitalisation and environmental sustainability: The moderating role of slack resources
Authors: Cupertino Sebastiano , Vitale Gianluca
Published: May 2024

This paper investigated if high digitalisation exposure allows companies to reduce their environmental impacts. Further, the study also deepened the critical role of available slack resources by analysing their possible moderating effects on the relationship between the firm's higher digitalisation exposure and environmental performance. Adopting the unbalanced panel data approach, the authors performed 5 years fixed-effects regression analysis on a sample of 5,481 non-financial listed companies' data derived from the Refinitiv ESG universe, as well as considering the annual constituents lists of the STOXX® Global Digitalisation index. Findings showed digitalisation positively affects specific environmental performance. Moreover, results highlighted that available slack resources negatively moderate the relationship between the firms' higher digitalisation exposure and the sustainable management of resources in internal business and procurement processes. Accordingly, slack resources could stress the profit maximisation logic penalising corporate sustainability.

Published: May 2024

The infectious diseases are an important comorbidity in drugs users and a health warming.Today only a few percentages of drug users are subjected to screening for hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).In the recent years an effort has been made in drug users for the elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV).Unfortunately, several barriers are now limiting the achievement of the goal of HCV elimination, as suggested by WHO.Drug users are people highly at risk to contract HBV and HDV infections. Only a few percentages of drug users receive HBV/HDV treatments, although they are effective and safe. The lack of treatment for drug users may be due to several factors. The main is that only a few percentages of drug users are tested for HBV and linked to treatment.The principal aim of this work is to defi ne a therapeutic diagnostic pathway (Percorso Diagnostico Terapeutico Assistenziale – PDTA) able to favorite HBV/HDV screening and linkage to care in drug users.
Connessi e vicini: un gruppo di Auto Mutuo Aiuto per i familiari dei giocatori d'azzardo. L'esperienza sul territorio lodigiano
Authors: Marchesi Serena , Varango Concettina
Published: May 2024

The GAP Local Plan (of the Health Protection Board) provides for a self-help group aimed at families of gamblers.In fact, Gambling Disorder (DSM V) does not only directly involve people who have a gambling problem but also their family members and loved ones; emotionally, economically and socially. Furthermore, the discomfort of the individual often speaks of a group dynamic, of collective suffering. In families the transaction is circular (Selvini, 1975).The Self Mutual Help group created is open to all citizens, as well as to family members of people who have already turned to the Addiction Service for a gambling problem.Self-help groups are based on the natural ability of human beings to be in relationship with each other and to support each other in times of difficulty and it is from these premises that this group also began.The article aims to recount, starting from the fundamentals of mutual self-help, the experience of the first AMA group aimed at family members of gamblers, promoted by the Addiction Service, in the Lodi area.The first observations can be useful for future years and to better develop an opportunity which has as its premise that of helping more and more people who find themselves facing a moment of difficulty.It is precisely the progressive discovery of gambling by family members that is traumatic, generating a climate of mutual distrust, cyclical experiences of illusions/disappointments, uncertainty that determines anxiety, fear and chronic stress (Capitanucci, 2012).The Auto Mutuo Aiuto group can help to emerge from isolation, increase solidarity, understand internal and external dynamics, stimulate new perspectives, bring out resources, feel capable and active. In the ecological-social approach, the family is seen not only as a possible part of the problem, but also and above all as a system open to the community, capable of exchanges and equipped with its own resources to be exploited.
L'integrazione corpo-mente nella pratica clinica oggi: psicoanalisi e Pnei a dialogo
Authors: Amore Marina
Published: May 2024

Lo sviluppo della ricerca scienti?ca determina la crisi della prospettiva riduzionista e mette in discussione la presunta autonomia scienti?ca delle singole discipline mentre, per contro, è enfatizzata la complessa interconnessione e interdipendenza tra i fenomeni. Viene così sollecitato il dialogo tra i diversi ambiti del sapere, il quale consente a ciascuna disciplina scienti?ca di ampliare le proprie conoscenze all'interno dello speci?co ambito di studio. In questo articolo l'autrice promuove un dialogo tra la psicoanalisi contemporanea e il modello della Psiconeuroendocrinoimmunologia (Pnei), concentrandosi sui temi della relazione mente-corpo e dell'integrazione degli stati del sé. Il modello Pnei, operando attraverso il confronto tra le prospettive specialistiche della medicina e della biologia da un lato, e della psicologia dall'altro, fornisce un contributo fondamentale allo studio e alla formulazione di una prospettiva integrata sui rapporti bidirezionali tra mente e corpo. Ponendo in?ne l'attenzione ai processi propriocettivi e interocettivi, il dialogo con la Pnei si estende alla valutazione dell'opportunità di una revisione metodologica della pratica esplorativa caratteristica della psicoanalisi, tema sul quale l'autrice è impegnata da anni. .

Exploring the Effect of Language-related Academic Emotions on Foreign Language Achievement: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis
Authors: Xiao Junling , Zhang Yushen
Published: May 2024

Language-related academic emotions, especially foreign language anxiety (FLA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) have been widely explored, and foreign language boredom (FLB) has gradually attracted more and more attention. Previous research has examined the relationship between language-related academic emotions (FLE, FLA, and FLB) and language performance, but the findings have been inconsistent. By synthesizing the existing literature, we aim to provide a clearer understanding of the relationship between these emotions and language performance. Thirty-nine studies with 130 independent samples from 9 countries and 91,405 participants were included in our meta-analysis. The results show that FLE has a positive impact on foreign language achievement(r=0.339), while FLA and FLB have negative impacts (r=-0.259 and r=-0.288, respectively). FLE emerges as the most significant factor affecting foreign language achievement. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression analysis were performed to examine potential moderators, revealing that age and linguistic differences do not have a significant impact on this relationship, but education level and the type of achievement measure play a crucial role in mediating the effects of FLE and FLA on language achievement. The findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of language-related emotions on language achievement and have important implications for language learning research and practice.

Authors: Narváez José Luis
Published: May 2024

Objetivos: El presente estudio analiza los factores asociados con la deserción escolar en una institución educativa pública en Cartagena (Colombia)
Métodos: Estudio de enfoque cualitativo utilizando la técnica de entrevista a profundidad. La muestra fue la participación voluntaria de 40 jóvenes que desertaron en el año 2022. Los datos para realizar este estudio se obtuvieron de la plataforma SIMAT suministrados por la coordinación académica de la institución.
Resultados: Los estudiantes desertan debido a situaciones como falta de recursos económicos. Los hombres son los que presentan más riesgo de desertar debido a la necesidad de conseguir dinero para sostener las necesidades básicas de la familia, la deserción en el caso de las mujeres se debe a los embarazos no deseados.
Conclusión: La tasa de deserción en esta institución educativa es alta en comparación con la tasa promedio a nivel distrital y nacional. Para reducir las cifras de deserción es necesario una mayor inversión económica del Estado con el fin de garantizar a los estudiantes los recursos materiales y psicosocial en su proceso de formación escolar.

The activated carbons (adsorbents) prepared in this study, were from Vitellaria paradoxa nut shell following the two steps of carbonization and activation processes using H3PO4 and KOH as activating agents and were labelled as HVP for H3PO4 modified adsorbent and KVP for KOH modified adsorbent. The activated carbons were characterized using standard methods of analysis. Bulk density (g/cm3) of the carbons (HVP and KVP) were 0.72±0.03 and 0.69±0.05, and attrition (%) values of 40.76±0.16 and 42.37±0.23 were obtained for HVP and KVP respectively. Results obtained also depict the presence of carboxyl O-H and C-O groups, and the N-H of amine on the surfaces of the activated carbons. The values of pH point of charge zero (pHzpc) obtained for HVP and KVP were 6.40 and 6.60 and were less than the pH values of 6.78±0.00 and 7.18±0.01 for HVP and KVP respectively. SEM results revealed surfaces with pores with different dimensions in both HVP and KVP. Results of the study suggest that the prepared adsorbents can be effectively applied in wastewater treatment.
