The Role of Insecurity in Shaping Consumer Purchase Intentions: Mediating Effects of Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Use in Live Commerce
Authors: Wicaksono Teguh , Ariani Gusti Meinar Girda , Syahrani Syahrani , Royanti Farhana , Gina Wardatul
Published: October 2024

Live commerce platforms facilitate real-time interactions between sellers and buyers, but challenges related to consumer uncertainty can negatively impact their intention to purchase. This study examines how uncertainty affects perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, and the intention to purchase. Additionally, it investigates whether perceived usefulness and ease of use serve as mediators in these relationships. The research adopts a quantitative methodology, collecting data from 150 respondents in Banjarmasin using a questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) to understand the interrelations among the variables. The findings reveal that insecurity does not significantly impact perceived usefulness, ease of use, or purchase intention, and these perceptions do not act as mediators in the relationship. However, both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have a strong and positive effect on purchase intention. These results underscore the need to focus on technology's ease of use and functionality to encourage purchasing behaviour, even when insecurity is present. This suggests that e-commerce businesses should improve their platforms' functional aspects and user-friendliness to enhance consumer engagement. Furthermore, the study encourages future research to delve into more profound psychological aspects and beliefs surrounding consumer insecurity that may influence decision-making in live commerce environments.
Understanding the Intention Behind Muslim Consumers’ Decision to Purchase Green Products
Authors: Al Hadi M Qoshid , Zakiyah Zakiyah
Published: October 2024

The increasing global emphasis on sustainability has significantly influenced consumer behaviour towards green products. However, the specific factors driving green purchase intention (GPI) remain insufficiently explored in the literature. This study examines the determinants of GPI among Muslim consumers in Banjarmasin, focusing on three critical variables: green product knowledge (GPK), plastic ban policy (PBP), and religiosity. A quantitative research approach was utilized, involving data collection through a structured questionnaire administered to 465 respondents aged 18 and older with prior experience purchasing green products. The study employed PLS-SEM with SmartPLS version 3 for the analysis. The results is insignificantly influence GPK on GPI statistically. In a different way, PBP shows a significant effect on GPI, highlighting the effectiveness of regulatory measures to encourage sustainable behaviour. Additionally, religiosity shows a significant positive influence on GPI, indicating that moral and ethical considerations rooted in religious beliefs are crucial in shaping consumer attitudes towards green purchasing. This research enriches the literature by merging regulatory, cognitive, and cultural viewpoints to deepen understanding of green consumer behaviour. It also provides actionable insights for policymakers and marketers to encourage sustainable consumption practices.
Decoding Market Efficiency: A Multifractal Approach to Financial Market Dynamics
Authors: Mahyudin Roja Putera , Lamsah Lamsah
Published: October 2024

Financial markets were traditionally analyzed using the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), which argued that asset prices fully reflected all available information. This led to the belief that price movements were random, making it impossible to consistently outperform the market. However, emerging research had highlighted that markets could exhibit multifractality, where inefficiencies existed across different time scales, challenging the traditional EMH framework. Our study built on these insights by investigating the market efficiency of several asset classes, including stock market indices, cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and Binance), commodities (gold and crude oil), fixed income (U.S. 10-Year & 30-Year Treasury Bonds), and foreign exchange (EUR/USD & GBP/USD). Utilizing the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) method, we analyzed the multifractal properties and efficiency of each asset class. The results revealed that traditional assets exhibited monofractality, adhering more closely to the EMH. In contrast, cryptocurrencies displayed significant inefficiencies, likely due to their volatility, market structure, and susceptibility to external shocks. The findings provided valuable insights into portfolio diversification and risk management, suggesting that inefficiencies in certain asset classes might present both opportunities and risks for investors.
A Wild Mind and a Disciplined Eye: Unleashing Human-GenAI Creativity Through Simulated Entity Elicitation
Authors: Pedota Mattia , Cicala Francesco , Basti Alessio
Published: October 2024

Generative AI (GenAI) has rapidly emerged as a revolutionary technology that enables new ways to generate and recombine knowledge. Despite its significant potential, research on GenAI's role in enhancing organizational creativity is still in its early stages. The present work advances this emerging field by focusing on the human-GenAI dyad. Specifically, we propose a model of hybrid creative process designed to maximize the synergistic potential of the human-GenAI interaction. Drawing on machine learning literature, we conceptualize GenAI as a superposition of latent entities. Based on this notion, we rigorously show how the simulated entity elicitation process enhances the creative potential of the human-GenAI interaction. Beyond its practical utility to managers, the model provides new insights into human-GenAI mutual augmentation, the nature of creativity, and the skills and cognitive properties involved.
Development and validation of a short form of the Family Communication Scale

Published: October 2024

Family communication skills are seen as a key factor in improving family cohesion and flexibility. As an effective tool for assessing communication skills in family systems, the Family Communication Scale has been widely used throughout the world and has been validated in different populations. Although the scale contains only 10 items, large cross-sectional surveys usually contain several types of scales, and the total number of questions can easily lead to poor response results. Therefore, using a shorter scale can be quicker and more convenient to use in research and clinical practice. This study included data from 17,608 residents from 23 provinces in China using multistage stratified cluster sampling, with data randomly divided into two parts for exploratory and confirmatory analysis. In the exploratory analysis of dataset 1 (n=8840), a 4-item short table was derived based on Classical Test Theory (CTT). The new family communication scale has less than half the number of items of the original scale, supporting the original scale's unidimensional structure and acceptable internal consistency and structural validity. The reliability and structural validity of the short version of the Family Communication Scale were then tested using data set 2 (n=8768). Finally the simplified results were further validated using the Ant Colony Algorithm ACO.The results of the data analysis show that the 4-item scale, which is composed of the items with the highest factor loadings on the basis of classical measurement theory, has good psychometric properties (Cronbach 's α=0.917). The Family Communication Scale is an effective screening tool for the measurement of the ability and effectiveness of family members to communicate. Compared to the FCS-10, the FCS-4 retains its psychometric advantages and is simplified to reflect the overall level of family communication more quickly and accurately. Therefore, the introduction of the FCS-4 allows detailed assessment of family communication effects in a variety of research settings and designs.

Teaching Large Language Models for Automatic Generation of Grammatically Sound Sentences from Handwritten Scribbles
Authors: Carrasco Ginehe , Kovalenko Ignatius , Blakeney Leonidas , Farthington Nikolai , Grimaldi Alessandro
Published: October 2024

The ability to accurately convert unstructured, noisy input into grammatically coherent text has long posed a challenge across various automated systems. Introducing a novel approach that leverages Mistral, an open-source language model, this research significantly improves the model’s capacity to extract grammatically sound sentences from scribbled handwriting without requiring human intervention. The enhanced model integrates noise-resistant layers and custom decoding mechanisms, leading to measurable improvements in sentence reconstruction, grammatical accuracy, and robustness to input distortion. Quantitative results demonstrate substantial gains in BLEU scores and error reduction across multiple noise levels, while qualitative evaluations confirm the model’s superior handling of ambiguous input. These findings have wide-reaching implications for automated text extraction tasks, particularly in environments where unstructured input remains prevalent, such as handwritten document digitization and real-time transcription systems.
Equity implications of extended reality technologies for health and procedural anxiety: a systematic review and implementation-focused framework
Authors: Arthur Tom , Robinson Sophie , Vine Samuel James , Asare Lauren , Melendez-Torres G.J.
Published: October 2024

Extended Reality (XR) applications are gaining support as a method of reducing anxieties about medical treatments and conditions, however their potential impacts on health service inequalities remain under-researched. We therefore undertook a realist synthesis of evidence relating to the equity implications of these types of intervention. Specifically, searches of MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycINFO, and Epistemonikos were conducted in May 2023, to identify reviews of patient-directed XR interventions for health and procedural anxiety. Equity-relevant data were extracted from records (n = 56) that met these criteria, and from individual trials (n = 63) evaluated within five priority reviews. Analyses deductively categorised data into salient, implementation-focused themes, with results highlighting various situation- and technology-based mechanisms that impact on the availability, accessibility and/or acceptability of services. Our ‘double jeopardy, common impact’ framework subsequently models unique pathways through which XR could help address health disparities, but also accelerate or even generate inequity across different systems, communities and individuals. Overall, despite growing positive assertions about XR’s capabilities in this area, we emphasise the need for taking a cautious, inclusive approach to implementation in future programmes.

Published: October 2024

In the context of ageing infrastructure, structural health monitoring is crucial for safety and integrity assessment, as well as for planning preventive maintenance. While classical methods rely on single-component sensors to track vibrations and identify structural changes, this paper proposes an alternative approach for real-time, continuous seismic structural health monitoring. Our system uses collocated triaxial seismometers and rotational sensors (six-component or 6C measurements). In a validation experiment, we simulate damage through controlled loading and prestressing with weight-drop sources generating elastic waves on a concrete bridge model. This study demonstrates the effectiveness and high spatiotemporal resolution of the proposed amplitude-ratio method using 6C data for monitoring structural changes. The approach is further validated through traditional modal analysis and numerical simulations.
Dynamic RSA Self-Regulation and Coregulation in Response to Caregiving Challenges in At-Risk Mother-Child and Father-Child Dyads
Authors: Girod Savannah
Published: October 2024

This study examined how mother-preschooler and father-preschooler dyads differed in dynamic physiological self-regulation and time-lagged coregulation when transitioning from play to a challenging disciplinary context, and how these individual and dyadic regulatory processes varied by parenting risk. Participants included 78 mother-preschooler and 51 father-preschooler dyads (53% female, 63.3% non-Hispanic White) oversampled for familial risk. At 2½ years, parents self-reported harsh parenting. At 3 years, parent-child RSA was collected during free play and clean-up tasks. Multilevel models of time-lagged RSA (i.e., parent RSA predicting child RSA in the next time unit and vice versa) were conducted. In response to a task with increased challenge and parenting demands, mothers and children showed expected individual RSA decreases (indicating active regulation) whereas fathers showed increases in RSA (indicating disengagement). During play, mother-driven negative time-lagged RSA coregulation and father-driven positive time-lagged RSA coregulation were observed, but this disappeared during challenge. Harsh parenting was associated with altered RSA responses to challenge: during clean-up, harsher mothers showed a lack of engagement in regulatory processes, harsher fathers showed more stability in RSA self-regulation during the task, and child-driven negative RSA coregulation with harsher fathers was observed. Findings suggest that during preschool: (1) parents are the typical drivers of RSA coregulation; (2) challenging contexts and parenting risk alter dynamic RSA self-regulation and time-lagged RSA coregulation; and (3) typical and atypical RSA self-regulation and time-lagged coregulation differ between mother-child and father-child dyads.
Developing Intuitions that Close Friends Know the Content of Each Other’s Minds
Authors: Woo Brandon Matthew , Yu Emma , Richardson Megan , Thomas Ashley J
Published: October 2024

To maintain and develop close relationships, people need to accurately represent the minds of close others. Although studies have characterized the development of children’s theory of mind and children’s theory of relationships, it is largely unknown whether and how children think about mental state reasoning within close relationships. In three experiments, we asked whether children think of accurate mental state reasoning as a cue to social closeness. In Experiment 1 (n = 145), we found that 4- to 9-year-old children inferred that characters who are socially close know about each other’s goals and desires. In Experiment 2 (n = 137), we found that 6- to 9-year-old children, but not younger children, inferred that characters who are correct about each other’s minds are socially close. Children did not make the same inferences, however, concerning knowledge about external states of the world. In Experiment 3 (n = 79), we conceptually replicated the main findings from Experiments 1 and 2, and we found that 6- to 9-year-old children did not form the same inferences concerning knowledge about observable features of individuals (e.g., an individual’s outfit); children’s inferences were specific to unobservable mental content. Thus, by 6 years of age, children apply their theory of mind and their theory of relationships to make sense of whether and how people are connected to each other, as well as the strength and nature of those connections.

Published: October 2024

Background and aims: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) often co-occur. There are a lack of longitudinal studies measuring the naturalistic development of PTSD and alcohol use problems in individuals with recent trauma exposure. This study aimed to compare the temporal relationships between posttraumatic stress symptoms and alcohol use over six months following trauma exposure in males and females. Design: Large-scale longitudinal observational emergency department (ED)-based study of individuals with recent trauma exposure. Setting: Twenty-nine EDs across the United States. Participants: Individuals with recent trauma exposure (n=2942, 62% female) were recruited from EDs within 72 hours of trauma exposure between 2017 to 2021. Measurements: PTSD symptoms, measured via the PTSD Checklist for the DSM-5, and alcohol use was measured via the PhenX toolkit, were assessed at five time points: ED visit, 2 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months following trauma.Findings: PTSD symptoms predicted lower future alcohol use between the pre-trauma to 2-week timepoints (b=-0.08, p=0.01) and higher use between the 3 to 6-month timepoints (b=0.06, p=0.01). There were no timepoints in which alcohol use predicted future PTSD symptoms. When stratifying by sex, male participants showed reciprocal associations, with alcohol use early after trauma predicting PTSD symptoms between 2 to 8 weeks (b=0.08, p=0.01), while PTSD symptoms predicted alcohol use between the 3 to 6-month timepoints (b=0.10, p=0.01). Female participants showed a different reciprocal pattern, with pre-trauma PTSD symptoms predicting lower alcohol use 2 weeks post-trauma (b=-0.08, p=0.04), while alcohol use subsequently predicted greater PTSD symptoms from 8 weeks to 3 months (b=0.04, p=0.04).Conclusions: Males and females exhibit complex temporal development patterns of PTSD symptoms and alcohol use that align with the mutual maintenance hypothesis in men but the susceptibility hypothesis in females. These patterns are masked in analyses that do not stratify by sex.

WOODY PLANTS GROWTH ON ABANDONED AGRICULTURAL LANDS: SCALE, CAUSES OF ABANDONMENT, WAYS OF USE. A REVIEW
Authors:   Centre for Forest Ecology and Productivity of the RAS, Gichan D.V. , Tebenkova D.N.
Published: October 2024

The article presents an overview of Russian and foreign papers on the subject of quantitative assessment of woody plants growth on abandoned agricultural lands and possible ways to utilize them. Particular attention is paid to analysing the causes for the abandonment of such lands and the legislation issues that limit the provision of such areas for commercial forest growing in Russia. According to various estimates, the area of abandoned agricultural land in the world varies from 150 to 472 million hectares, with 33 to 100 million hectares being in Russia. At the same time, there is a trend towards an increase in the area of such lands. The rate at which the area of abandoned agricultural lands is increasing is about 1% per year on average. It may vary over time and depend on the region. The main groups of factors that contribute to the agricultural lands falling into disuse are social, economic, environmental, landscape and historical. The most promising is the involvement of such lands in climate-smart forestry activities, especially for agroforestry. This is due to the multiplier effect from, on the one hand, obtaining forest goods, including bioenergy, and on the other hand, services, including the use in crop or livestock farming activities. Currently in Russia there is no legislative framework permitting commercial forest growing on agricultural lands, with the exception of planting shelterbelts and other protective structures, despite the active position of organizations and government structures involved, so its development proves to be a necessity.

Content and structure of the concept «value outlook of students of socio-economic professions of life sciences universities»
Authors: Savytska I.
Published: October 2024

The article defines the content and structure of the concept of "value worldview of students of socio-economic professions at life sciences universities". It is noted that a worldview is a set of views, assessments, principles that generalize the understanding of the world and the place (purpose) of a man in it. For a worldview, it is fundamental to transform knowledge into beliefs, lifestyles, and norms of behavior. It ensures the fulfilment of the most important functions in human life and forms the basis of life. A worldview is a mechanism for transforming knowledge and feelings into beliefs that influence behavior. A number of methods were used, including analysis and synthesis of approaches (configuration and synergetic). The author interprets the value worldview of students of socio-economic professions at life sciences universities as a systematic set of ideas, assessments, attitudes that provide a holistic vision of the world around them, their place in it, their own life position and their corresponding actions. The structure of the worldview is outlined by: experience, on the basis of which the world perception is formed as the basis of the worldview; knowledge, on the basis of which the world understanding is formed; purpose; values (happiness, love, truth, virtue, beauty, freedom, etc.), which are the basis of beliefs, ideals of a person. The author grounds that the set of values determines the content and structure of the worldview. It includes: a system of axiological knowledge; value views and beliefs that determine the motives of students' behavior; value ideals that lead to the development of the individual as an active subject of society; criteria for value assessment of the world around them. The author emphasizes on the possibility of presenting the structure of the value worldview of students of socio-economic professions at life sciences universities as a set of objective (knowledge) and subjective (beliefs, ideals) elements, where each of them has a very specific functional purpose. Attention is drawn to the dependence of students' value worldview by the combination of intellectual and mental components with sensory and emotional ones. Therefore, it contains an incentive to act, which makes it convincing. It is manifested at the following levels of perfection (maturity) –the world perception, world awareness, world understanding. The author sees the prospect of further scientific research in generalizing the national and foreign experience of forming the value worldview of students of socio-economic professions at life sciences universities, defining the methodological foundations of this process.
Actualization of professional training for future social workers to work with military personnel and their families
Authors: Sopivnyk I.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of an online survey conducted among students of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NULES) regarding their awareness of the problems and needs of military personnel. The survey involved 585 respondents, all of whom were full-time students. The survey results indicate that the majority of students have military personnel/veterans/combatants in their close circle. According to the students, military personnel/combatants/veterans most often face psychological problems provoked by participation in combat operations. The most common problems for military personnel/combatants who are studying include the inability to combine education with service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine; lack of respect from others; psychological issues related to the war; lack of understanding and acceptance by others; and difficulties in adapting to civilian life. According to the students, the problems faced by military personnel/combatants who are studying should be addressed by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine; the university rector; vice-rectors; public and charitable organizations, among others. An analysis of the curricula for students majoring in specialty 231 «Social Work» showed that only a few programs include an educational component that directly prepares them for psychosocial work with military personnel and their families, namely: «Socio-Psychological Counseling for Military Personnel and Their Families» (6 credits, bachelor's level, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine); «Social Work with Military Personnel and Their Families» (3 credits, bachelor's level, Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University); «Military Social Work» (3 credits, master's level, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy).
Training future veterinarians for the english professional communication by means of situa-tional tasks
Authors: Rozhkov Yu.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the possibilities and effectiveness of using the method of solving professional situations in the process of preparing future doctors of veterinary medicine for professional English-language communication. The expediency of the formation of professional communication for future veterinarians is substantiated. The essence of foreign language professional communication, which is an integral component of the professional competence of a modern specialist, is clarified. It is emphasized that a powerful potential for the development of professional English communication has the application of professional situations (situational tasks or problems that a veterinarian may face in his/her practice). Situational tasks are aimed at the implementation of such functions as the organization of cognitive and independent activities, effective and corrective functions. The requirements for the situational tasks are characterized by: a real professional situation, emerging professional conflict (controversial issue), tension of the situation (perhaps the urgency of the solution), complexity and ambiguity of the problem, clarity of description of the subjects of the problem or situation, multivariate solutions, limiting conditions. Examples of professional situations that can be used in the preparation for professional English communication of future veterinarians in English language classes are offered. It was found that the use of situational tasks develops professional English-speaking communication skills and the ability to perceive verbal information from a professional point of view, to independently interpret, make decisions and determine optimal ways of its implementation.
Content aspects of translation training programmes at chinese universities
Authors: Shen L.
Published: October 2024

The paper deals with the problem of training translators in higher education institutions of the People's Republic of China. Translation training programmes are offered by polytechnic, educational and language universities. It is stated that in China, translation training at the master's level is provided not only at language universities, but also at universities of applied sciences. The system of requirements for the content of bachelor's and master's programmes is considered. It is established that the training of translators at the bachelor's level consists of two stages: the basic and the professional training stage. Translation training programmes have the same structure at both stages, but differ in the content of the structural components, which are: theory, translation, interpreting, translator's tools, cultural literacy. The main competences required for obtaining a master's degree in translation are highlighted: language competence, translation competence, intercultural communication competence, competence in acquiring encyclopaedic knowledge, and teamwork competence. The basic stage focuses on fostering students' good academic style and correct teaching methods and on building basic bilingual skills. At the vocational stage, the focus is on developing students' practical interpretation and translation skills. As a result of professional translation training, a translation specialist should be able to translate texts of various genres, using translation principles and techniques professionally; be able to translate texts in various fields, such as politics, economics, automotive, business, medicine, into Chinese, and be able to translate texts in related fields into foreign languages. It has been determined that in order to better meet the current needs of society for qualified translators, universities create professional courses on a scientific basis. Such courses include, in particular, technical translation, translator's tools, and cultural studies.

Authors: Shumilova I.
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the study was to analyze the development of educational policy, which should contribute to significant social improvements and still remains a major problem area in most democratic societies. The article focuses on educational institutions and, in particular, their leaders, who must confront the challenges of education in the twenty-first century. It is noted that educational institutions should be transformed into institutions to promote internal change, stimulate social transformation and prepare students for active participation in increasingly diverse, complex and dynamic communities. Attention is focused on educational managers and leaders who should be agents of change, civic leaders and promoters of social development, playing the role of leaders, in particular within the framework of the five-pillar spiral model and the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The article is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of leadership as a new stage of leadership development of future education managers in the context of building Society 5.0. The obtained results demonstrate the need for synergistic modeling of the concept and programs for the development of leadership culture in future education managers, with the inclusion in the «orbit» of this training of the goals of sustainable development, achieving social justice, translating knowledge and innovation in society, strengthening the foundations of the country's soft power on the basis of transformational leadership and deep conscious personal motivation. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the conclusions and recommendations in the process of optimizing the university training of future education managers.
The bi-dimensionality of post-traumatic growth models in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans of the russian-ukrainian war
Authors: Kharytonova N. , Yakima S. , Chernysh O. , Kryzhba S.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the models and approaches of post-traumatic growth (PTG) used in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans. Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is a positive psychological change that occurs as a result of psychological processing of the experience of difficult life circumstances—models of PGD help to understand how people can find meaning and strength in their experiences of trauma. Several vital models are often used in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans. The analysis of the existing models of posttraumatic growth as an effective tool in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war expands the vision of theoretical models of PGT. It enables professionals to expand the basis of psychological interventions in the rehabilitation of veterans, their transition from military and civilian life, and the adaptation of their own experience to family life. Psychological support for a veteran who has gone through severe combat operations and returned home with a sense of loss and helplessness requires a modern psychologist to be aware of their level of training and to master a multimodal approach to this activity. By applying one of the adapted models to the case of a veteran client, a psychologist can help them identify new development opportunities, find meaning in their experience and present life, strengthen ties with family and friends, and strengthen the spiritual foundations of their life. The article presents a model of PTZ for consideration: R.G. Tedeschi and L.G. Calhoun's functional-descriptive as the primary model; a person-centered model by S. Josef, a biopsychosocial model by M. Christopher, a psychological-philosophical model by R. Papadopoulos and others. The variations of coping strategies as models of coping are also considered. The author outlines several views on the possibilities of implementing the theory of coping in psychological support and the implementation of psychological rehabilitation of military personnel, veterans, combatants, etc.

Published: October 2024

The rapid development of technology and its integration into various spheres of life encourages students to develop both digital competence and personal skills from the time they are students, as this is an important characteristic for all participants in modern digital society. Today, the level of digital competence, including digital communication, collaboration, and interaction skills of future professionals while studying at a higher education institution, determines their successful employment and career development in the future. This article analyzes the content of the disciplines of the university training program for future specialists, which can help to develop digital competence skills. In the example of one of the components of digital communication, cooperation and interaction skills, the stages of formation, indicators for different levels of formation, content, and examples of presentation of educational materials are demonstrated. An approach to the formation and development of skills in digital communication, collaboration, and interaction is proposed within the framework of studying the relevant content module "Microsoft 365 Services for Digital Communication, Collaboration, and Interaction" and performing individual and collective tasks during laboratory work in the discipline "Economic Informatics" and "Information Technology". The results of an experimental study of achieving the levels of formation of digital communication, cooperation, and interaction as a component of the digital competence of future specialists are presented. A statistical analysis of the results of the experimental study is carried out and their significance is proved.
On universality of perception of movement and time in the artworks
Authors: Kresan О. , Mkhitarian L.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the issue of perception of movement and time in works of fine art. The perception of works of art is not only related to perceptual processes and the cognitive sphere of a person, but is a personal and worldview issue, as it is related to the system of personality stereotypes - cognitive phenotypes formed in the process of life and professional experience. The conventional view on the perception of movement and its intensity in visual arts, which was considered as universal for a long time, was that the perception of movement from left to right is more natural and fast, and movement from right to left, respectively, is complicated, slow and less intense. These provisions became the basis for an experimental study of the perception of movement and time in works of art, in which two groups of respondents participated. The experimental group (N=38) consisted of people who are not closely familiar with the art and rules of composition arrangement. The control group (N=30) consisted of students professionally studying art history and visual arts. Both groups only included people whose first language had left to right writing. As experimental material, the subjects were offered to answer how they see the intensity of movement in paintings by famous artists. Each picture was presented in an original and a flipped image, where the movement was reflected in the opposite direction. The results of the study analyzes using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov λ statistical test, which demonstrates the presence or absence of regularities in the subjects' choice of picture numbers that correspond to forward or reverse movement in the picture. With the help of this test, a gender comparison of the features of perception of movement and time in works of art was also carried out. The results of the experimental study question the universality of the perception of movement and time in fine art and require verification in further research.

The article examines the issue of organizing the study of the discipline "Soil science with the basics of geology" for students of the first year of studies of the Bachelor's degree program in the specialty 203 - horticulture, fruit and vegetable growing and viticulture in the system of distance and mixed learning. The purpose of distance learning is to provide an opportunity to acquire knowledge to all those who wish to obtain a profession or improve their professional qualifications. The change in the direction of the educational process and the main approaches to teaching methods in Ukraine is due to the influence of socio-political factors, which include the introduction of martial law in the country, the rapid spread of the coronavirus infection, and the corresponding restrictions caused by these events. The specificity of teaching all narrowly focused disciplines, including "Soil science with the basics of geology", requires special terminology, vocabulary for its functioning. The relevance of this topic takes place in the modern educational environment, because high-quality teaching of disciplines is not possible without using the means and opportunities provided by the Internet and computer technologies. The advantages and disadvantages of distance learning for teachers and students in the context of the introduction of e-learn technology are outlined. Presented materials for filling the lecture, laboratory, independent parts of the course "Soil science with the basics of geology". The topics of the lecture part of the course and the topics of laboratory works are given. The issues of the specifics of mastering the laboratory practicum of the course under a mixed form of education are discussed, because the applicant may not always have the opportunity to conduct laboratory research while on distance learning. Separate laboratory works require the direct participation of both the teacher and the student. The structure of the course, features of working with the course are presented.
Dual form of education: the experience of german higher education institutions

Published: October 2024

The paper deals with the problem of dual education in the Federal Republic of Germany. The main features of the implementation of dual education programmes are identified. The correlation of branches and specialities in which dual education is carried out is presented. It is established that there are several models of regulation of theoretical education and practical training. The relationship of all parties within the framework of dual education programmes is clarified: student, higher education institution, participating company. The responsibilities of each party are stated. The authors emphasisethe main motivations for graduates to choose dual study programmes, which are a combination of theory and practice, financial support and good employment opportunities. Dual programmes create a unique opportunity for an effective connection between vocational and higher education. They are a format that combines the acquisition of academic and theoretical knowledge with the acquisition of practical professional competencies. The most popular are engineering and economics majors. Dual study programmes are implemented according to different models: block (most programmes), rotational, and distance learning. The division of responsibilities is usually as follows: practical training is provided by companies (enterprises, organisations, etc.), and theoretical training is provided by higher education institutions. They conclude relevant cooperation agreements. Students are not selected by universities of applied sciences or professional academies, but by participating companies. Therefore, applicants usually get a place in this programme not only on the basis of their high school diploma scores, but also on the basis of the results of an interview or other selection procedures for the company. In general, over the past few years, the following trends in the development of dual study programmes have been identified: dual study programmes are established as a separate study profile; the focus of dual study programmes continues to shift towards programmes integrated with practice; dual study programmes are differentiated by format, i.e. the combination of practical work experience and higher education, as well as by the timing and organisation of learning models; further structural changes are taking place at the state level.

Published: October 2024

In this paper, we give some necessary conditions for an hyperbolic Kenmotsu manifolds M satisfying semi-symmetric, Ricci semi-symmetric, Weyl semi-symmetric and Einstein semi-symmetric. Next, we study the notion of n-Ricci soliton in context of hyperbolic Kenmotsu 3-manifolds M3 and we construct an example to illustrate the existence of n-Ricci soliton. Finally, we present some conditions to M admitting Codazzi type of Ricci tensor and cyclic n-recurrent Ricci tensor.

Introducción: La falta de conocimiento y estrategias metodológicas para abordar crisis emocionales en niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) es un problema identificado por educadoras en centros educativos. Este estudio tiene dos objetivos principales: identificar las actitudes de las educadoras de párvulos respecto a su formación para manejar crisis emocionales en niños con TEA y determinar las áreas específicas en las que perciben fortalezas o debilidades en su preparación. Metodología: La investigación fue cuantitativa y exploratoria, con una muestra no probabilística de 40 educadoras de párvulos de la región metropolitana que trabajan o han trabajado con niños con diagnóstico de autismo. Resultados: Las educadoras de párvulos sienten una necesidad urgente de mejorar su formación y apoyo en el manejo de niños con TEA junto con la necesidad de herramientas específicas para el aprendizaje y manejo de crisis emocionales en estos niños. Discusión: El 95% desea asesoramiento de expertos y el 85% colaborar con otros docentes. Estas cifras revelan deficiencias en su formación inicial y acceso a recursos especializados. Conclusiones: Es crucial que las instituciones educativas implementen programas de desarrollo profesional y proporcionen recursos adecuados para mejorar la preparación y apoyo continuo de las educadoras.
