This paper presents comparativestudies among artificial neural network neurons. Four key performance indicators were predicted using neural network. The key performance indicators and weather parameters for Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria were employed. MATLAB R2020a was employed to develop the neural network models. Three different neural network models were developed. Model A, Model B and Model C with ten neurons, fifteen neurons and twenty neurons respectively, the hidden layer of the models was Log-sigmoid activation function, and the linear activation was used at the output layer of the models. The three models were compared using mean absolute error and mean square error. The best performing model was Model B with fifteen neurons. Its mean absolute error and mean square error is 0.0909 and 0.0123 respectively. Model A with ten neurons was the least performing model with mean absolute error and mean square error of 0.0990 and 0.0148 respectively. The results show that for a model to be robust, several neurons should be tested to establish the most effective model.

Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practice is a set of activities in human resources that involve environmental aspects in their implementation. In 2020, with the millennial generation making up the largest proportion of the workforce, they will wield significant influence over business trends. Previous research indicates that job pursuit intentions are influenced by organisational attributes, emphasising the need for companies to understand the important values held by their future workforce. The purpose of this study is to measure millennials' perceptions of the influence of GHRM practices on their intention to seek employment in Indonesian and Malaysian companies and to analyse the impact of the implementation of GHRM practices in the company on millennials' intention to seek employment, using pro-environmental consciousness as a moderator. The data used in this research were primary data obtained through questionnaires with the Likert scale and the scenario-based study, and secondary data from the central statistical board and other literature that supports the research. The respondents in this study were final-year students at IPB University Indonesia and University Putra Malaysia. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis, hierarchical linear regression analysis, and bootstrapping in SPSS 22. The results show that GHRM is positively significant with job pursuit intention (JPI), whereas personal pro-environmental consciousness was not given the significant effect between GHRM and JPI. Implementing GHRM practices is indispensable for companies seeking to attract millennial talent. These practices can be implemented using both push and pull strategies, embedding pro-environmental aspects.

This study is aimed at evaluating the enrolment trends into technical education programmes in a Nigerian University via Documentation Analysis. The study was conducted at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, and it covered a period 2013-2023. A checklist titled “Technical Education Student Enrolment Trends Framework (TESET-F)” developed by the researcher was used to tabulate the data for ease of interpretation. Frequency counts and simple percentage were used as a tool for data analysis. Findings from the study indicated that that the enrolment trends into technical education programmes has witness an intermitted negative fluctuations in the last ten years to the extent that only 6% enrolment quota was filled in a particular academic year (2019/2020). The enrolment trends into technical education programme based on the three broad options favours electrical/electronic technology, building/woodwork technology and automobile/mechanical technology respectively. The enrolment of female gender into technical education is very low when compared with their male counterparts. The authors advocate on the need for concerted efforts to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities to improve the quality and relevance of technical education. Through this, universities in Nigeria can play a pivotal role in producing a highly skilled technical workforce that can contribute to the economic development and prosperity of the country.

Social media has evolved into a network that helps users find information. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are now important sources of up-to-date news and information. In order to give people the ability to assess, inform about potential threats or effects, and be aware of false information in the network, social media information literacy (SMIL) has been developed. However, that social media can have negative emotional effects that decrease in emotional quotient (EQ) among young people will directly lead to social problems like crime. In this quantitative study, Malaysian youth between the ages of 19 and 40 were examined to determine the impact of social media information literacy (SMIL) on emotional intelligence (EQ). 241 students from three universities in Malaysia who were selected through proportional stratified random sampling and simple random sampling made up the respondents. Data are gathered using a "Google Form" questionnaire and data analysis uses descriptive and inferential statistical analysis to get the results. Social media information literacy (SMIL) and emotional intelligence (EQ) were found to be significantly correlated by Pearson correlation inference analysis. The results of this study have implications for institutions seeking to develop human capital, technology, and media. Other organizations interested in exploring the field of social media information literacy (SMIL) and emotional intelligence (EQ) can use it to meet the sustainable development goals (SDG) in digital sustainability as recommended by UNESCO.

Application of the principles of Text World Theory to texts of diff erent genres gives us a clearer idea of the diversity of roles performed by the same discourse technique. In this study, we look into the technique of changing temporal parameters of the basic text-world which can involve the appearance of new entities and the relocation of setting in discourse. The analysis shows that temporal world-switches in three texts of diff erent genres – an excerpt from a novel, a free verse poem, and an archival project review – transfer a reader mostly to the past. Yet in each text, temporal world-switches are put to a diff erent purpose. In the excerpt from a complex psychological detective novel they are aimed at foregrounding the role and place of a particular enactor in the network of motives and events; in the free verse poem they serve to convey the theme; in the review of archival papers, temporal world-switches bind together the facts of the past and their contemporary interpretation. The results of the current study suggest that temporal world-switches are polyfunctional, their role depending largely on the genre of writing. Key words: discourse, genre, temporal world-switch, the past, time-zone.

The problem of the Ukrainian semiotic metalanguage still remains a subject of controversy for those who are interested in the scholarly heritage of the greatest and an extraordinarily prolifi c American philosopher, logician (mathematical and general) and semiotician Charles Sanders Peirce (1839 – 1914). In the course of his polymathic researches he created numerous terminological neologisms. The latter are most commonly rendered into Ukrainian applying transliteration. Peirce was extremely fond of placing things into groups of three, of trichotomies, and of triadic relations. His theory of signs is also based on his ʻtriadism’. The article discusses the interpretation of the fundamental categories of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness as presented in Peirceʼs work “A Guess at the Riddle” and focuses on the challenges of rendering these and other important terminological units of Peircean semiotics into Ukrainian. The article contains excerpts from the above mentioned Peirce’s work translated into Ukrainian by the author of this paper and the issues of translating Peircean neologisms are approached with the aim of revealing logic in the management of semiotic realities and specifi cally the logic of constructing diff erent Ukrainian equivalents. The lack of the generally accepted tradition of translating semiotic terms brings to life many terminological variants used by diff erent Ukrainian scholars and translators. The present paper reviews some terminological variants used by Ukrainian semioticians and seeks to provide arguments to support the necessity of selecting Ukrainian equivalents using the native stock of morphemes instead of applying transliteration of the original English terms. Following this line of thought, the author suggests her options for rendering such key semiotic terms as Firstness, Secondness, Thirdness, representation and determination, representamen and interpretant and some others and claims that the suggested approach is justifi ed and can ensure the adequacy of the translation and the unifi cation of the Ukrainian terminology of semiotics. Key words: Charles S. Peirce, metalanguage of semiotics, terminological neologism, translation, native Ukrainian terminology.

The article examines the peculiarities of reproduction of archetypes in the translation of an artistic work. The interpretation of the concept of ‘archetype’, its classifi cations and levels of its mental representation in the text are studied herein. While examining the issue of universal and ethnocultural archetypes, the author of the article introduces the term ‘culturally determined archetypes’. The article contains the proposals as to the actions that are to be taken by a translator in the process of reproduction of the source language archetype in the target language, outlines what exactly it is necessary to pay attention to in order to properly translate the archetype. It is noted that if the archetypes are translated inadequately or inaccurately, the integrity of the literary work may be violated due to the partial loss of the symbolic meaning, or the emotional impact on the reader. It is proposed to include the archetypal analysis of the source and target texts to the translation studies analysis. Key words: archetype, psychological archetype, cultural archetype,culturally-preconditioned archetype, archetypal image, motive, symbol, translation.

The article focuses on the analysis of the modern variant of rom-com genre which is presented in one of the latest literature bestsellers, the novel by Coco Mellors “ Cleopatra and Frankenstein”, 2022. The success of the rom-com genre in the 21st century, although its sources are in the past, in the 20th century, is due, as the research convinces, to certain vectors of innovation of the problematic as well as poetological plans, – all that responds to the world perception of modern people in their mistrust in reality and in themselves. The new variant of rom-com makes obvious its polemics, opposition to the genre sterotypes in its projection of the topical problems of modern life – feminism, gender, sexual relations, drug addiction, psychological breakdowns, racial, ethnic and national divergences, and the endless loneliness of a human being in the society and the world. The desired clip form of the presentation of reality and a human in it coincides with the expectations of the modern reader/viewer due to which an aura of the world in the form it is known in reality is created. This is the authentic world where the illusion about it is always ruined in the confrontation with reality. All that makes a hero (more often a heroine) be in a constant search of oneself and one’s own way to happiness. However, the problem concerns the very understanding of this happines’ reality. The writer tries to answer these questions but again with the typical for the new rom-com uncertainty in his thoughts which may be only illusions about the world and humans in it. Key words: rom-com, genre matrix, Bromance, Womance, clip form, ironic/ skeptical pathos, philosophy of mistrust.
Cross-Cultural Marketing Communication: A Comparative Analysis of Strategies in Global Campaigns
Authors: Dr. Mohammed Samiuddin Sahem
Published: January 2024

Due to the advent of globalisation, the establishment of global markets has led to a notable increase in the number of enterprises operating across many nations. The emergence of multicultural organisations may be attributed to companies' efforts to extend their operations outside conventional geographical boundaries. Within these firms, individuals from many nationalities interact with one another in order to accomplish the objectives of the company. The attraction and profitability of these expansions for enterprises may be evident; yet, the operational and managerial challenges associated with global firms are more complex compared to local ones. The global business landscape is shaped by a multitude of factors, including divergences in social, cultural, economic, legal, and political contexts. Engaging in global commercial operations exposes organisations to a range of potential risks, such as political risk, currency risk, and cultural risk, among others. Human resources play a vital role in facilitating the smooth running of company divisions, both at local and worldwide levels. The objective of this research is to examine the challenges associated with cross-cultural marketing faced by organisations engaged in global marketing endeavors. The research highlights the significance of possessing a comprehensive comprehension of a foreign culture, demonstrating respect towards a foreign culture, and implementing management practices that are appropriately attuned to cultural variations. These factors are identified as crucial in enabling a company to effectively address the challenges associated with cross-cultural marketing.
“...THESE EVENTS HAVE THEIR REPRESENTATIVES OF SUPPORTERS IN ALMOST ALL VILLAGES OF THE REGION.” DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS ABOUT THE BAKSAN EVENTS OF 1928 IN KABARDINO-BALKARIA

The article is devoted to the study of the historical causes and prerequisites of the tragic events that occurred in the Baksan district of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Region in June 1928 and went down in history as the “Baksan events”. This was the first, open and large-scale protest of a part of the Kabardian peasantry against the policies of the Soviet government in the econom-ic, social and cultural-ideological spheres. The Soviet model of modernization of all aspects of life and activity of Kabardino-Balkarian society meant a break with the traditional ideas of the peoples of Kabardino-Balkaria, which ob-jectively led to the accumulation of conflict potential in relations between various subjects of the political process. As a result, in the late 1920s. There is an open armed confrontation, during which many people died and were injured. The causes and prerequisites, course and character, driving forces, results and consequences of the Baksan events of 1928 have still not received proper in-depth and unbiased research on re-gional historiography. Published documents and materials should contribute to a deep and objec-tive study of all aspects of the history of the Baksan events, which is of great scientific im-portance.
ABAZA LOVE AND LANDSCAPE LYRICS OF THE 1950s
Authors:   Karachay-Cherkessia Institute for Humanities Research Government of the Ka-rachay-Cherkess Republic, Petr K. Chekalov
Published: January 2024

Based on the analysis of approximately 30 literary texts, the paper clearly indicates the genesis and evolution of love-landscape themes during one of the early stages of the construction of na-tional literature. The topic is of philological significance since it exposes the roots of the later de-veloped layer of Abaza lyrics, which is represented by the names M. Chikatuev, M. Tlyabicheva, and K. Mkhtse. The primary research methodologies were descriptive, noting the distinguishing aspects of poetry works based on observations and interpretative, revealing the artistic content of texts and their meanings. Not only P. Tsekov, K. Dzhegutanov, B. Thaitsukhov, J. Laguchev, M. Chikatuev, who later became popular poets, but also I. Tabulov, M. Fizikov, Sh. Fizikov, P. Dzugov, B. Ken-zhev, A. Tambiev, Z. Mamatova, who are little known today but participated in the literary pro-cess of their time, are studied. Throughout the study, it is proven that a distinguishing feature of 1950s love and landscape songs is their saturation with social and industrial causes, from which liberation is intended by the end of the decade. Sh. Fizikova’s poetry “The Path Tells” has lyricization of the love topic, B. Thaitsukhov’s poem “The Girl’s Song” contains psychologization of the lyrical subject, and M. Fizikov’s poem “Sing Along and You” contains an alternation of love themes and landscape sketches. The initial landscape poems have a detached declaration of nature’s indications, a lack of vocabulary, and inappropriate repetitions, which are eventually replaced by the authors’ ability to adapt what they saw into poetic imagery, developing them in a logical sequence. And plastic is evident in the best works of K. Dzhegutanov, M. Chikatuev, and B. Thaitsukhov, a harmonic syn-thesis of form and content, filling the artistic text with expressive linguistic means.
SOME PROBLEMS OF SCIENTIFIC AND ANALYTICAL TRANSLATION OF EPIC TEXTS
Authors:   Institute of Humanitarian Researches – Affiliated Kabardino-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Adam M. Gutov
Published: January 2024

Translation remains the most important means of communicating the phenomena of verbal art to a foreign language audience. Therefore, for different tasks of recording the features of a literary text, there are different types of transferring the content of the original into the language of another medium. The article discusses some of the most typical difficulties that arise when turning to the type of translation called scientific-analytical. Recognizing the actual uniqueness of all the features of the source, attention is drawn to what ways to overcome the language barrier can be used in working on poetic texts when the source and translation languages belong to such different structural types as Adyghe, belonging to the group of Ibero-Caucasian languages and Russian - one of the Indo-European ones. Without denying the important role of the individual skill of the translator, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to search for the organic unity of the translated text and accompanying comments with a glossary. The study's focus is solely on poetry texts.

Socioeconomic (SES) inequalities in health and mortality have become one of the most critical public policy challenges, both in developed and Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While we've made significant progress in understanding the complex mechanisms linking SES and health, several diverging patterns of health/mortality inequality between developed countries and LMICs are not well understood. This study introduces a new framework to explain these trends.
Sensory symptoms associated with autistic traits and anxiety levels in children aged 6–11 years
Authors: Bang Peter , Andemichael Danait Kidane , Pieslinger Johan , Igelström Kajsa
Published: January 2024

Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and quantitative autistic traits (QATs) are associated with sensory symptoms, which may contribute to anxiety and adversely affect social and cognitive development. Although sensory symptoms can occur across all senses, the relative roles of specific sensory modalities as contributors to the autistic phenotype and to anxiety are not well understood. The objective of this study was to examine which sensory symptoms were most predictive of high anxiety. We recruited 257 female primary caregivers of children aged 6 to 11 years (49 % girls) to a questionnaire study comprising parent-report measures for classical QATs (social, communicative, and rigid), autism-related sensorimotor symptoms (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, proprioceptive, and motor), and anxiety symptoms. First, Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) was used to identify the most probable sensorimotor predictors of specific QATs as well as diagnosed ASC. Then, the selected predictors were used in another SSVS, using anxiety symptoms as a dependent variable, to identify which of the autism-relevant sensorimotor symptoms were most robustly predictive of anxiety. Finally, the effect sizes of anxiety-related sensory symptoms were estimated with linear regressions. We found that auditory symptoms and motor difficulties were most predictive of ASC diagnosis. Developmental motor difficulties were also strongly related to all individual QATs, whereas auditory symptoms were more selectively predictive of rigid traits. Tactile symptoms robustly predicted social interaction QATs, and proprioceptive symptoms predicted communicative QATs. Anxiety outcomes were most predicted by difficulties with auditory and olfactory processing. The results support the clinical importance of being alert to complaints about sounds and hearing in neurodevelopmental populations, and that auditory processing difficulties may be evaluated as an early marker of poor mental health in children with and without diagnosed autism. Olfactory processing differences appeared to be an anxiety marker less strongly associated with ASC or QATs, while motor difficulties were highly autism-relevant but not equally strongly associated with anxiety outcomes. We suggest that future studies may focus on the mechanisms and consequences of neurodevelopmental central auditory processing dysfunction and its potential relationship to anxiety disorders.
No Evidence Spatial Attention Modifies Location’s Role in Object Identification [Poster]
Authors: Williamson Kieran James
Published: January 2024

The spatial congruency bias (SCB) is a phenomenon in visual attention in which objects are more likely to be judged as identical when they are presented in the same location. While this bias is robust and has been demonstrated on many types of displays, its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. To investigate the SCB’s relationship with spatial attention and decision confidence, 30 undergraduate psychology students completed an object identity task on three-letter string stimuli that were successively presented in the same or different locations. Spatial attention was manipulated using valid, invalid, and neutral peripheral cues. Participants completed each trial by rating decision confidence. While we observed a robust SCB, we failed to detect a significant effect of spatial attention. Furthermore, we failed to detect a significant association between decision confidence and the SCB. This suggests that the mechanism underlying the SCB may not function as a heuristic operating in conditions of low decision confidence.
The role of translation equivalents in bilingual word learning

Bilingual environments present an important context for word learning. One feature of bilingual environments is the existence of translation equivalents (TEs)—words in different languages that share similar meanings. Documenting TE learning over development may give us insight into the mechanisms underlying word learning in young bilingual children. Prior studies of TE learning have often been confounded by the fact that increases in overall vocabulary size with age lead to greater opportunities for learning TEs. To address this confound, we employed an item-level analysis, which controls for the age trajectory of each item independently. We used Communicative Development Inventory data from four bilingual datasets (two English–Spanish and two English–French; total 𝑁 = 419) for modelling. Results indicated that knowing a word’s TE increased the likelihood of knowing that word for younger children and for TEs that are more similar phonologically. These effects were consistent across datasets, but varied across lexical categories. Thus, TEs may allow bilingual children to bootstrap their early word learning in one language using their knowledge of the other language.

The study explores the psychosocial issues of international students studying in Kerala, and the impact of perceived racism on their mental well-being and academic motivation. Male and female international students (N=32) studying various disciplines under the universities in Kerala were selected for the study through convenience sampling. 10 participants were selected through purposive sampling from the sample population of 32 for a telephonic interview. Content analysis was used for discerning their responses. They reportedlack of inclusion in the classroom, concerns regarding language barriers, academic demotivation, discrimination, and dissatisfaction. Questionnaires were distributed to all the 32participants to measure their perceived racism, academic motivation and mental health.Correlation and t-test were used for statistical analysis. Perceived racism was found to have significant relationships with multiple aspects of mental health and academic motivation, indicating a negative impact on the latter aspects. Being one of the earliest studies concerning the well-being of international students in Kerala, this study highlights the need for further research in the area to better comprehend the problems and resolve them.

Alternative teaching methods is a planned and organized activity which operates for alternative teaching and learning. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the education system was highly affected and students were unable to acquire education in schools. To cope with this situation, the Nepal government released the Student Learning Facilitation Guide, 2077 to support on education system and help student getting education from home. Hence, the paper aims to examine the challenges and effectiveness of alternative teaching methods in Nepal. For this purpose, the research has been carried out with explanatory and descriptive research design. The necessary information for this study was accumulated mainly from secondary sources.
Effect of Foreign Trade on the Economic Growth of Nepal
Authors: Gautam Shyam Sunder
Published: January 2024

Foreign trade plays a crucial role in fostering economic growth through increasing innovation, efficiency, market expansion, and optimum use of resources. This paper attempts to deal with the effect of foreign trade on the economic growth of Nepal. This study is based on secondary data for the period of FY 1974/75 to 2021/22. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test is used to check the stationary of variables. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing approach has been applied to establish the long-run relationship between dependent variables: GDP and independent variables, i.e. export and imports. Similarly, an Error Correction Model (ECM) has been conducted to check the speed of correction of short-term fluctuations to the long-run equilibrium. This study found a positive relationship between exports and the GDP of Nepal. However, there is a negative relationship between GDP and imports in Nepal. The negative and significant value of the ECM coefficient explains the equilibrium in the long run, even though there are some fluctuations in the short run. For high economic growth, Nepal should make a proper balance between an export growth strategy and an import substitution policy in foreign trade.
Dušan Karpatský a česko-chorvatské literární vztahy
Authors: Ivačić Matija
Published: January 2024

This paper deals with the contribution of Dušan Karpatský (1935—2017) to the reception of Croatian literature in the Czech Republic, and Czech literature in Croatia since the 1960s until the present day. In his numerous translations, Karpatský worked tirelessly to introduce Czech readers to the achievements of Croatian (and Yugoslav) literature, and vice versa. By selecting texts for his translations that were as current as possible, and by meeting high aesthetic criteria, made him influential in both cultural milieus where he played the role of an intermediary. His work in lexicography, bibliography, history of literature and non-fiction is also of great importance. His research has made Croatian culture permanently indebted to him because he discovered and translated into Croatian the Prague Papers, written in Czech by the Croatian politician Stjepan Radić, and because he discovered a seven-language dictionary written by the Prague Benedictine monk Peter Loderecker, which was based on a five-language dictionary written by Faust Vrančić. Owing to all of the above, and much more, Karpatský is considered a key figure in literary and cultural communication between Croatia and the Czech Republic in the last six decades.
A Tuberculous Osteomyelitis Late Finding Affected The Fifth Metatarsal

Many studies have reported osteoarticular involvement of tuberculosis, but few cases of tuberculous osteomyelitis of the foot have been reported. We describe a case of tuberculous osteomyelitis affecting the fifth metatarsal bone in a 56- 56- year-old diabetic male patient and review the literature describing clinical manifestations, imaging aspects, and management of skeletal tuberculosis. A 56- year-old male patient presented with severe pain and swelling in his left leg for the past 6 months. He had no history of trauma. He had fever over his two months, had no cough, had lost weight, and had light sweats at night. His pain and swelling did not subside despite oral medication. The patient was diabetic. The patient also had radiating pain from his lower back to his left leg and numbness all over his lower back. Tuberculosis is a widespread problem in Indonesia. It can affect any part of the body. However, the feet are rarely affected. Tuberculosis is on the rise and it is important to recognize the less common symptoms of this disease to allow early diagnosis and successful treatment. In urban areas where TB prevalence is high, there may be no TB exposure or 'typical' symptoms and signs. Radiological features are non-specific, so indicators of high suspicion are required. Patients with suspected risk factors or tuberculosis should have a biopsy to make the diagnosis and start treatment.

Satisfaction is a form of one's feelings obtained from the product or service received. In the field of Health, customers are patients, and they are considered as the main indicator in assessing service quality. Based on the preliminary study, there were complaints that were obtained from suggestion boxes, in person, or online that patients were dissatisfied with the services received, such as the unfriendly health center staff, inadequate facilities, and differences in service delivery to BPJS and non-BPJS users at the Boja Health Center. 1. The purpose of this study was to see an overview of patient satisfaction at the Boja 1 Health Center on existing complaints. This study used a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design. The method used was purposive sampling by determining respondents who had conducted an examination at the Boja 1 Health Center. The results of this study using 9 variables that could affect patient satisfaction were that more than half of the respondents were satisfied with the services provided by the Boja 1 Health Center. However, there was an error. one variable that patients are still dissatisfied with is the advertising or promotion variable promised by the Puskesmas. With that it is necessary to make improvements to increase patient satisfaction so that the services provided can be optimal and support the service quality of the Boja 1 Health Center.
