Published: February 2024

Interventions to reduce misinformation sharing have been a major focus in recent years. Developing “content-neutral” interventions that do not require specific fact-checks or warnings related to individual false claims is particularly important in developing scalable solutions. Here, we provide the first evaluations of a content-neutral intervention to reduce misinformation sharing conducted at scale in the field. Specifically, across two on-platform randomized controlled trials, one on Meta’s Facebook (N=33,043,471) and the other on Twitter (N=75,763), we find that simple messages reminding people to think about accuracy—delivered to large numbers of users using digital advertisements—reduce misinformation sharing, with effect sizes on par with what is typically observed in digital advertising experiments. On Facebook, in the hour after receiving an accuracy prompt ad, we found a 2.6% reduction in the probability of being a misinformation sharer among users who had shared misinformation the week prior to the experiment. On Twitter, over more than a week of receiving 3 accuracy prompt ads per day, we similarly found a 3.7% to 6.3% decrease in the probability of sharing low-quality content among active users who shared misinformation pre-treatment. These findings suggest that content-neutral interventions that prompt users to consider accuracy have the potential to complement existing content-specific interventions in reducing the spread of misinformation online.
The Role of Perceived Eye Contact in Helping Robots
Authors: Potinteu Andreea Elena , Darboven Julia , Rahmel Ann-Kathrin , Papenmeier Frank
Published: February 2024

As Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) becomes increasingly prevalent in various domains, understanding the role of non-verbal cues, such as eye contact, in these interactions is of paramount importance. This paper presents the results of a lab study that explores the effect of eye contact and perceived eye contact on response times related to helping behavior. We further investigate the impact of eye contact on attitudes and anthropomorphism. We observed no effect of eye contact on willingness to help. However, participants helped the robot significantly faster when they reported perceived eye contact. Results also point to the relevance of perceived eye contact in positive attitudes towards robots. Despite this, we found no effect of perceived eye contact on anthropomorphism perception. Our results further highlight implications of robot design, specifically the influence of proportionally exaggerated robot eyes and its effect on prosociality toward robots. Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge in the field of HRI and emphasizes the significance of perceived eye contact in the context of helping behavior.
Capturing Session-to-Session Dynamics of Learning and Forgetting: Testing the Limits of Knowledge Tracing Models
Authors: Schuetze Brendan A. , Yan Veronica X. , Carvalho Paulo F.
Published: February 2024

The development of intelligent tutoring systems and other educational technology necessitated the implementation and development of computational models of student learning. At the foundation of these models is the assumption that they accurately implement and track human cognitive processes. However, the extent to which this assumption is correct has not been fully tested. In the current paper, we use data from a large-scale longitudinal lab study to investigate the match between the processes instantiated in the models and human memory and learning processes. When fitted to the entire dataset retrospectively, the selected models of student learning (Bayesian Knowledge Tracing and Additive Factors Model) capture the qualitative trends of learning across sessions and relatively acceptable fit metrics. However, when the models are used to predict future behavior, as is often the goal in applied contexts, the picture changes considerably. We show that two of the most popular types of student learning models fail to account for basic cognitive principles—the spacing effect, and patterns of forgetting and learning across sessions. In fact, in some instances, having a poor model of human learning and memory may be worse than having no model of human learning and memory at all. At the same time, cognitive approaches can and should greatly benefit from computational modeling approaches; computational modeling offers opportunities for furthering both theory and practical impact.

Published: February 2024

Mit der im November 2021 erfolgten Anerkennung eines Rechts auf schulische Bildung im Bundesverfassungsgerichtsbeschluss „Bundesnotbremse II“ sind nicht nur Rechtswissenschaft, sondern auch die Bildungswissenschaften und die empirische Bildungsforschung aufgefordert, sich der Diskussion um Form, Inhalt, Aussagen und Implikationen dieses neuen Bildungsgrundrechts insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Gewährleistungsdimension des unverzichtbaren Mindeststandards schulischer Bildung zu stellen. Ein entsprechender Diskurs steht bis dato noch aus. Vor diesem Hintergrund zielt der vorliegende Beitrag darauf, mögliche (theoretische wie empirische) Konvergenzpunkte zwischen Bildungswissenschaft und empirischer Bildungsforschung einerseits sowie dem Beschluss bzw. dem neuen Bildungsgrundrecht andererseits aufzuzeigen, indem er die Bedeutung des Beschlusses skizziert, empirische Evidenz zur Konkretisierung des Mindeststandards hinsichtlich dessen Output- sowie Inputdimension exemplarisch darstellt und die hier aufgeworfenen Fragen schließlich gerechtigkeitstheoretisch einordnet.
Konkretisierung des verfassungsrechtlich gewährleisteten Mindeststandards schulischer Bildungsleistungen. Selbstbindung des Staates durch kompetenzorientierte Bildungsstandards?
Authors: Lohse Eva Julia
Published: February 2024

Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat in seinem Bundesnotbremse-II-Beschluss betont, dass sich aus Art. 2 Abs. 1 i. V. m. Art. 7 Abs. 1 GG ein Anspruch auf ein Mindestmaß schulischer Bildung ableiten lässt, ohne darzulegen, wie ein solcher jenseits der Pandemiezeiten konkretisiert werden kann. Dieser Beitrag geht der Idee nach, ob durch die Aufstellung kompetenzorientierter Bildungsstandards eine verwaltungsrechtliche Selbstbindung angenommen werden kann. Es werden Konstellationen vorgestellt, in denen diese in Ausnahmefällen in einen justiziablen Individualanspruch auf bildungsstandardkonformen Unterricht münden könnte.

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) became an industry standard in imageprocessing. However, in order to keep their high efficiency, a large annotated sampleis required in the case of supervised learning. In this paper we apply the techniquesspecific for relatively small sample to a court files dataset. Specifically, we proposetransfer learning and semisupervised learning to classify scanned page as having a tableor not. We use four CNNs architectures established in the literature and find thattransfer learning improves the classification performance, compared to the fullysupervised learning. This result is especially evident in the scenarios where only a partof convolutioanl layers are transferred. The gains from semisupervised learning areambiguous, as the results vary over CNNs architectures. Overall, our results show thatoffice documents classification can achieve high accuracy when transferring initialconvolutional layers is applied.

Published: February 2024

Proper risk assessment and management are considered important issues in designimprovement. This tendency has been due to the continuing uncertainty of the globaleconomy and the advancement of information technology. Despite the most importantand valuable benefits, developed design topics are more vulnerable and can expose theorganization to higher levels of risk. Achieving sustainability is recognized as agrowing and effective strategy to meet today's global design challenges. Design in theoil, gas and petrochemical industry is important due to its characteristics and high riskin different countries, especially Iran, due to its different effects on the environmentaldimension. The issue of identifying and evaluating design risks has also been neglectedin recent research. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate designrisks in Iran’s oil, gas and petrochemical industry. The present research is descriptivesurveyand is qualitative and quantitative in terms of technique and data used. Based onthe literature review, 13 risk factors affecting the design were identified, in two stages,in-depth interviews were conducted with the opinions of experts, and by collectingopinions through a questionnaire, and 10 key risk factors were finally confirmed. In thefirst stage, the validity of the questionnaire was finally confirmed based on the opinionsof 5 experts and in the second stage, using the opinions of 8 experts in this industry.Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the risk questionnaire is higher than 0.7, which indicatesthe reliability of the research tool. According to the research findings, two factors suchas weak technology / knowledge sustainability and environmental pollution, comparedto other risk factors, have a higher priority in design projects in Iran's oil, gas andpetrochemical industry. It is suggested that industry owners take serious and continuous measures in the field of "improving the level of process knowledge".

Published: February 2024

One of the research issues that researchers are interested in is unbalanced dataclassification techniques. Boosting approaches like Wang's Boosting and ModifiedBoosted SVM (MBSVM) have been demonstrated to be more effective for unbalanceddata. Our proposal The Modified Boosted Random Forest (MBRF) classifier is aRandom Forest classifier that uses the Boosting approach. The main motivation of thestudy is to analyze sentiment of geotagged tweets understanding the state of mind ofpeople at FIFA and Olympics datasets. Tree based model Random Forest algorithmusing boosting approach classifies the tweets to build a recommendation system withan idea of providing commercial suggestions to participants, recommending localplaces to visit or perform activities. MBRF employs various strategies: i) a distancebasedweight-update method based on K-Medoids ii) a sign-based classifier eliminationtechnique. We have equally partitioned the datasets as 70% of data allocated fortraining and the remaining 30% data as test data. Our imbalanced data ratio measured3.1666 and 4.6 for FIFA and Olympics datasets. We looked at accuracy, precision,recall and ROC curves for each event. The average AUC achieved by MBRF on FIFAdataset is 0.96 and Olympics is 0.97. A comparison of MBRF and Decision tree modelusing 'Entropy' proved MBRF better.

Published: February 2024

Data-centric is a newly explored concept, where the attention is given to dataoptimization methodologies and techniques to improve model performance, rather thanfocusing on machine learning models and hyperparameter tunning. This paper suggestsan effective data optimization methodology for optimizing imbalanced small datasetsthat improves machine learning model performance.This paper is focused on providing an effective solution when the number ofobservations is not enough to construct a machine learning model with high values ofthe estimated magnitudes. For example, the majority of the observations are labeled asone class (majority class), and the rest as the other, commonly considered as the classof interest (minority class). The proposed methodology does not depend on the appliedclassification models, rather it is based on the properties of the data resamplingapproach to systematically enhance and optimize the training dataset. The paperexamines numerical experiments applying the data centric optimization methodology,and compares with previously obtained results by other authors.

Search engines are now the main source for information retrieval due to the hugeexpansion of data on the internet over the last ten years. Providing users with the mostrelevant results for their queries poses a significant challenge for search engines.Semantic search engines, which go beyond traditional keyword-based searches, haveappeared as advanced information retrieval systems to address this problem. Thesesearch engines produce more precise and pertinent search results because theyunderstand the meanings of words and their relationships. They play a pivotal role inmanaging the vast amount of internet data, with a primary aim of enhancing searchprecision and user satisfaction. However, improving search precision remains as animportant goal for natural language processing researchers. The main objective of ourresearch is to improve the search engine results. We present a novel approach formeasuring the similarity between a user’s query and a list of documents within a searchengine. This approach provides a new fuzzy recommendation system using a syntacticand semantic similarity. Our results indicate that our method outperforms severalexisting approaches from the literature, achieving a high level of accuracy.

Published: February 2024

In the digital world, information is exposed anytime, anywhere, to everybody, hence itsprivacy is a crucial matter. No matter how complicated the encryption algorithm is, itrequires a strong and hard-to-break encryption key. Since the three-dimensional proteinsequence structures are usually highly conserved, even better than DNA sequences, thiswork presents an innovative scheme for implementing the protein sequence andstructural to build protein data tables that are then used to generate extremely strongencryption-keys. An image-encryption scheme designed to implement such encryptionkeys is developed and produced compatible security strength with existing encryptionschemes. Prototype experiments resulted in an average normalized mean absolute errorof 66.84%, an average peak signal to noise ratio of 6.85 dB, and comparable entropywith other cryptosystems. The obtained results make this scheme a promising colorimage protection technique for various applications.
The Impact of Transformation in Higher Education
Authors: Daud Norzaidi Mohd
Published: February 2024

This study examines the impact of transformation in higher education, in particular onthe introduction of new technology to students in Malaysia. This study is unique as itfocuses on usage and technology resistance. Another uniqueness of the study is thattechnology resistance is measured by non-technology and post-technology antecedents,which have yet to be discovered by existing studies. These factors could potentiallyinfluence students to refrain from using technology in their studies, as many previousstudies only focus on usage. Furthermore, prior research should have classifieddifferent types of resistance that cause significant knowledge gaps in technologyeducation. A survey of 156 respondents concluded that antecedents of non-technologyusage do lead to resistance. Post-technology usage, similarly, does influence resistance.As expected, the usage of technology influenced students' performances. Finally,resistance to technology did not affect students' performance. This is likely the firststudy to examine the impact of transformation in education and classify the antecedentsof technology resistance into two categories: non-technology usage and posttechnologyusage. This research will help policymakers understand how students reactto educational transformations. Adding technology could improve how well studentsdo in university, but it could also hurt how well they do in university.

Authors: Manrique Alicia , Izquierdo Jesús
Published: February 2024

Exploring students’ perceptions of English as a foreign language learning serves to understand the achievements of public education. This study examines the perceptions of public secondary learners in Mexico. These research questions were addressed: What kind of perceptions do secondary school students have about learning English in public education? How does their language proficiency affect these perceptions? To answer these questions, a quantitative descriptive study was carried out with 114 students of 2nd grade in a public secondary in Tabasco. The participants completed three quantitative instruments: a sociodemographic survey, to document their background in English and general information; an English test, to classify them into different language proficiency levels, and a four-point Likert-type questionnaire, to identify their perceptions about learning English. The results reveal that students with greater competence have better perceptions about learning English in public education and that perceptions about achievements and learning tasks vary with competence, highlighting the importance of research around key actors in education: the student, as well as the selection of strategies to improve their language skills and perceptions about English as a foreign language learning in public education.

A exploração de minérios é umas das atividades econômicas mais importante em termos mundiais, por outro lado, infelizmente é umas das que mais causam impactos ambientais e de saúde pública. Em inúmeros casos, tais atividades são desenvolvidas de forma ilegal, gerando rejeitos que são descartados de forma inadequada e/ou sem nenhum tipo de tratamento remediador. O estudo foi realizado através de uma excursão por via fluvial, organizado pelo Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBIO), com objetivo principal a distribuição de cestas básicas aos povos tradicionais da Floresta Nacional (Flona) do Pau-Rosa, onde foram percorridos os três dos quatro rios principais que banham a Flona: o Paraconi, Parauari e Amana. Foi possível constatar que o rio mais afetado pela atividade de garimpo é o Amana, onde foi possível encontrar vários pontos de garimpo ilegal, com a presença de dragas. Vários trechos apresentam pontos de assoreamento, ocasionando estreitamento do rio. Visivelmente houve um aumento dos sólidos em suspensão, causando uma grande turbidez nas águas que antes eram relatadas como cristalinas pelos moradores mais antigos. Foi constado também que a população tradicional, entende que as águas têm uma grande probabilidade de estarem contaminadas pelo mercúrio proveniente do garimpo do ouro, porém necessitam consumir o pescado e a água para suas necessidades básicas, não tendo outra opção. Ao final, a analista do ICMBio, conversou com alguns garimpeiros e alertou sobre a ilegalidade da atividade e orientou para que fizessem a retirada dos maquinários.

Crucial Requirements for Children's Empowerment
Authors: Kabuye Uthman Sulaiman
Published: February 2024

This paper sheds light on the important and mostly neglected role that parents play in raising their children, namely empowerment through character development, impartment of knowledge and skills. The key objective of this paper is to enhance the understanding of the concept of empowerment of children from the Islamic perspective and the importance of character and values education in today’s society. The paper is structured around six core sections describing the role of parents in children’s (1) virtues and character formation and development, (2) physical development, (3) emotional development, (4) mental development, (5) intellectual development, and lastly their role in preparing children for the realities of life and death. The focus of this paper is character formation and development. Character development and impartment of knowledge and skills are the three crucial and mandatory requirements for children’s empowerment. The paper outlines the ideas underlying character refinement or character education focusing on its meaning, aims, importance, and the role of parents, teachers, and community as character educators. It outlines some of the moral qualities of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the universal model of all virtues and goodness. This is qualitative research employing descriptive methods with literature review analysis. The primary sources of this paper comprise selected verses from the Qur’an and their exegesis (tafsir) and Hadith, both of which constitute the major source of guidance for Muslims. Its secondary sources consist of books, journals, and other materials. The English translation of the selected verses is based on Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s The Meaning of the Holy Qur’an and The Qur’an: Arabic Text with Corresponding English Meanings by Saheeh International because of their simplistic and comprehensive language. Due to the multidimensional use of words in the Arabic language, it is difficult to translate them into one specific word, therefore, we have retained the Arabic concepts but given some of their meanings in the brackets. Our main contention in this paper is that: first, knowledge, skills, and values or personality traits need to be combined for a thriving life; second, moral values are of paramount significance to peaceful coexistence and harmony in society. They are critical for sustainable living. Without them, there is no cohesion and solidarity among people. Hence, there is no civilization; third, learning is of little value and with no soul unless core ethical values are added to it. Hence, one of the aims of education is to graduate ethical individuals; fourth, the development of character in children is not just the responsibility of parents and schools, it is also the responsibility of those who come into contact with them; last but not least, character education should be included as a core component of schools’ curriculum.

Son yıllarda meydana gelen teknolojik gelişmeler ve yenilikler, küresel endüstriyi büyük ölçüde değiştirdi. Dördüncü sanayi devrimi (Endüstri 4.0), malların, ürünlerin, değer zincirlerinin ve iş modellerinin dijitalleşmesi ve birbirine bağlanmasıyla ilgilidir. Endüstri 4.0, yenilikçi teknolojileri bünyesine katarak geleneksel endüstrileri akıllı endüstrilere dönüştürmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Endüstri 4.0 insanların, nesnelerin ve makinelerin küresel bağlantısıdır. Dördüncü sanayi devrimi, fiziksel varlıkların iç içe geçmiş dijital ve mekanik süreçlere entegre edilmesini sağlayarak akıllı fabrikalar ve akıllı üretim ortamları yaratır.

Büyüyen bir etki alanı olan Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT), insanların çevrelerindeki şeylerle iletişim ve etkileşim kurma şeklini değiştirmiş, ortak nesneleri bağlı nesnelere döndürerek İnternet'e evrensel bir bağlantı sağlamıştır. Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT), Endüstri 4.0'ın gerçekleşmesine büyük ölçüde katkıda bulunan ve hızla büyüyen bir teknolojidir. IoT, fiziksel dünyayı dijital dünyaya bağlayarak insanların ve nesnelerin "her zaman, her yerde, her şeyle ve herhangi biriyle” ideal olarak herhangi bir ağ ve hizmeti kullanarak günlük ortamımıza nüfuz etmeye çalışır. IoT sağlık, kalite kontrol, lojistik, enerji, tarım ve üretim gibi modern ekonominin çeşitli alanlarında uygulanmaktadır. Endüstriyel Nesnelerin İnterneti (IIoT), üretim sürecinin daha iyi anlaşılması için çığır açarak verimli ve sürdürülebilir üretim sağlar. Makalede IoT, IIoT ve Endüstri 4.0 kavramları açıklanmaktadır. Bu teknolojilerin uygulanmasıyla beraberinde getirdiği fırsatlar, tehditler ve zorluklar detaylı bir şekilde açıklanmıştır.

Authors: Aleksandra Chivarzina
Published: February 2024

The review highlights the general results of the field ethnolinguistic expedition in the city of Krushevo and in the villages of the Bitola district (North Macedonia) in 2022. The purpose of the expedition was a survey of the Aromanians living close to the Slavic Macedonian population in this area. The constant intensive contacts and interaction of the Slavic and the non-Slavic population contributed to linguistic and cultural interference and borrowing in the traditions under consideration. The field research was directed to the collection of the material on funeral and memorial rituals, mythological ideas and terminology serving this «mortal» sphere. In the course of the survey, a wide vocabulary layer of borrowings was revealed both in the language and folk culture.

Reflections on Osip Mandelstam’s Poem “Erected on a Wet Stone …” (1909)
Authors: Frolov Dmitrij
Published: February 2024

The poem “Erected on a wet stone …” was sent in the Autumn of 1909 first to Max Voloshin and them to Vyacheslav Ivanov and is part of “poems in letters” which were only published in the second half of 20th century. The central theme of the poem is the juxtaposition of love and death. Cupid finds himself standing on a tombstone (“green moss and wet stone”) and being surprised by what he discovers tries to avenge on death through love (“illegal flame of the heart”). The poetics of the poem represents another step in the development of Mandelstam’s inherent technique of subtexts and contexts. The “mentioning keys&8j1; here are combinations of nouns with uncommon adjectives (“illegal flame&8j1;, “naive valleys&8j1;, etc.), as well as pairs of rhymes: “nagoi – nogoi” (naked – foot), “kamen – plamen” (stone – flame), “grubiy – gubi” (rough – lips). The subtexts of the poem might be read on two levels, so that the motifs of classical poetry shine through the symbolist associations, linking together the poetry of the Russian Golden and Silver Ages. The key image of Cupid for the poem (the only context in the author's poetry) has, apparently, a literary origin.

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection is still a significant public health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. This infection is caused by worms whose life cycle requires a soil medium in the maturation of eggs or larvae into an infective form and mainly occurs in children of primary school age. Poor environmental sanitation and malnutrition are the leading causes of STH infection. This study aims to determine the relationship between ecological sanitation, nutritional status, and STH infection incidence in elementary school children. This type of research is descriptive research. The research location is SDN 22 Telaga Biru, Telaga Biru District, Gorontalo Regency. The sample was 32 SDN 22 Telaga Biru students, obtained using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaire instruments, Body Mass Index (BMI) examinations, and fecal examinations at the UPTD Regional Health Laboratory Center of Gorontalo Province. The data were further analyzed univariately. The results showed that most environmental sanitation conditions did not qualify, such as latrine conditions (68.8%), SPAL conditions (75.0%), trash can conditions (87.5%), and clean water facilities (68.8%). Nutritional status (BMI/U) was most in the normal category (65.6%), and no helminth eggs were found in respondents (negative STH), so a relationship analysis could not be carried out. It is suggested that the school and parents support government programs related to providing mass worm-prevention drugs.
