Authors:   ", GAVRILUȚ Monalisa-Laura ,   Ion Creangă",   State Pedagogical University of Chișinău
Published: February 2024

"The study of literature is not only the equivalent of knowledge, but also of building one's own identity. Therefore, the approach to literature must be reshaped and reconsidered, so that it is necessary that the approaches take into account, in addition to the cognitive side of learning, the affective-attitudinal dimension and the creative-imaginative capacities of the students. Creative reading and creative writing offer teachers and students a fertile ground for exploiting and capitalizing on these capacities, while reading is not only about better understanding the ideas of the ""other"", but also a process that can lead to a deeper and more nuanced understanding of our own ideas and feelings, of the identity that we continuously build by relating to others. We must advocate for the stimulation of creativity, this being an essential means to develop critical thinking and to stimulate the potential of each student both in the process of reception and in the process of writing."

FedCache: A Knowledge Cache-driven Federated Learning Architecture for Personalized Edge Intelligence
Authors: Wu Zhiyuan , Sun Sheng , Wang Yuwei , Liu Min , Xu Ke , Wang Wen , Jiang Xuefeng , Gao Bo , Lu Jinda
Published: February 2024

Edge Intelligence (EI) enables Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications
to run at the edge, where data analysis and decision-making can be
performed in real-time and close to data sources. To protect data
privacy and unify data silos distributed among end devices in EI,
Federated Learning (FL) is proposed for collaborative training shared AI
models across multiple devices without compromising data security. 
However, the prevailing FL approaches cannot guarantee model
generalization and adaptation on heterogeneous clients. Recently,
Personalized Federated Learning (PFL) has drawn growing awareness in EI,
as it enables striking a productive balance between local-specific
training requirements inherent in devices and global-generalized
optimization objectives for satisfactory performance.  However, most
existing PFL methods are based on the Parameters Interaction-based
Architecture (PIA) represented by FedAvg, which causes unaffordable
communication burdens due to large-scale parameters transmission between
devices and the edge server. In contrast, Logits Interaction-based
Architecture (LIA) enables to update model parameters with logits
transfer, and gains the advantages of communication lightweight and
heterogeneous on-device model allowance compared to PIA. Nevertheless,
previous LIA methods attempt to achieve satisfactory performance either
relying on unrealistic public datasets or increasing communication
overhead for additional information transmission other than logits. To
tackle this dilemma, we propose a knowledge cache-driven PFL
architecture, named FedCache, which reserves a knowledge cache on the
server for fetching personalized knowledge from the samples with similar
hashes to each given on-device sample. During the training phase,
ensemble distillation is applied to on-device models for constructive
optimization with personalized knowledge transferred from the
server-side knowledge cache.

Empirical experiments on four datasets demonstrate the comparable
performance of FedCache with state-of-art PFL approaches, with more than
two orders of magnitude improvements in communication efficiency. Our
code and DEMO are available at

Authors: Jangra Rekha
Published: February 2024

The scope of research in employing deep learning for bot detection in the identification of genuine crypto assets is expansive, encompassing a multitude of challenges and opportunities at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cyber security, and financial technology. Researchers can delve into the intricate dynamics of adversarial interactions between bots and detection systems. Adversarial attacks aimed at undermining the integrity of deep learning models pose a significant challenge, requiring innovative defenses and methods to enhance the resilience of the detection systems against manipulation. A promising avenue of exploration involves investigating the transferability of deep learning models across various crypto currencies. Analyzing the extent to which models trained on one cryptocurrency can be effectively applied to others may streamline the process of identifying patterns indicative of bot-driven activities, especially in cases where labeled data is scarce or non-existent for certain crypto currencies. Temporal dynamics play a crucial role in the evolving landscape of bot behaviors. Researchers can focus on understanding the temporal patterns of bot activities, studying their evolution over time, and developing deep learning models that can adapt to these changes. Real-time detection capabilities become paramount in this context, particularly when dealing with the rapid pace of activities on social media platforms and cryptocurrency exchanges. Scalability is also a key consideration, ensuring that models can efficiently handle the vast amounts of data generated in the crypto space.
Ethical problems with coverage of the Russian-Ukrainian war in online media and social networks
Authors: Syvakivskyi Yaroslav , Krupskyi Ivan
Published: February 2024

The purpose of our research was to analyse the influence of social networks on the perception of the war in Ukraine as well as on the course of the struggle in the information field. Today, social networks have become one of the main trendsetters, therefore, to effectively fight against disinformation and enemy information attacks, it is necessary to understand not only the specifics of their audience’s perception of information but also to be well-versed in the specifics of the content generated by social media. For this purpose, we used the comparative method, monitoring, and content analysis. In the article, we give examples of ethical dilemmas that Russia can use to its advantage in the war against Ukraine. For example, social media policies prohibit the posting of sensitive content. This does not allow telling the whole truth about the war, as a result of which not everyone understands the depth of the tragedy. Thanks to this, the world’s reaction to Russia’s criminal actions is not as harsh as it could be. Our research was an attempt not only to outline the problem but also to propose ways to solve it. It is clear that media and ethics are inseparable, but at the same time, it is necessary to understand that ethics cannot hide the truth. In future studies, it is worth investigating more deeply the ethical norms of the coverage of sensitive content, especially about war. Perhaps it would be worthwhile indicating the situations that allow departure from the general rules.
“But then the war started”: The value of diversity in editorial practices during times of war and crisis
Authors: Gober Greta , Jupowicz-Ginalska Anna
Published: February 2024

In this article, we analyse the impact of disruptive media events on the perceived value of diversity in editorial practices, with a specific focus on the Polish media debate following the onset of the Ukrainian-Russian war in February 2022. We do this based on a unique dataset derived from in-depth interviews with eight editors representing four different newsrooms conducted before, immediately after, and approximately one year after the start of the war. Our research answers the question of whether newsrooms can defend the value of diversity during the coverage of war and crisis. We also assess the impact of the changed geopolitical context, characterised by nation-building mobilisation and public sentiments of solidarity with Ukrainians, on editorial decisions to mute, delay, or opt out of publishing certain stories. We contribute to research on the epistemologies of journalistic news production during times of crisis, news diversity, and the role of the media in democratic societies.
Conceptual basis of research of strategic development of the aviation industry in the context of global challenges
Authors: Vysotska Maryna
Published: February 2024

The conceptual foundations of the strategic development of air transport are defined based on a comprehensive synthesis of modern scientific works, a study of the evolution of the aviation industry, an analysis of trends in the global air transport services market, and a search for the most effective ways of strategic development and optimization of interaction between the two critical subjective components of the industry - airlines and airports, in order to maximize their combined potential and increase the indicators of industry development in the face of global challenges. As a result of a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations of strategic development, a set of paradigms that form the theoretical and methodological basis for the study of strategic development of the air transport industry has been identified and scientifically substantiated. The analysis of methodological foundations allowed us to define a set of paradigms that form the methodological basis for the study of strategic development of the air transport industry: the concept of technogenic society, intellectual culture, the concept of global information society, the concept of globalization and network society; axiological approach. The article substantiates the growing role and importance of air transport in the global world despite the development of other types of communications. After all, air transport, combined with other modes of transport and communication channels, plays a significant role in the development of civilization, influencing demographic, migration, economic, political, scientific, technical, and other processes, and spheres of human activity. The development of aviation has led to the establishment of communications between different parts of the world, different cultures, and local communities, which in turn has become a catalyst for the development of aviation itself. Conclusions are drawn about the insufficient coverage of the socio-economic vector of air transport development in the global environment and the expediency of considering the conceptual issues of air transport industry development in the context of global challenges.
Keywords: air transport industry, strategic development, global challenges, methodological principles, theoretical and methodological framework economic factors.
Employment of the population as a factor of ensuring social security
Authors: Luhova Viktoriia
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the article is to determine the role of employment in ensuring social security. The essence of the "social security" concept has been clarified, and its content has been defined. It was concluded that security is a particular state of the system, determined by its ability to resist dangers, which involves not only the preservation of the existing situation but also the creation of opportunities for development under conditions of uncertainty and risk. It has been proven that the social security of society and the state begins with the social security of the individual - the guaranteed protection of a person from internal and external threats that may violate his vital interests, rights, and freedoms. This state includes ensuring normal life activities, improving material well-being, and creating conditions for development and self-realization. The role of employment in ensuring the individual's social security is considered the formation of income for the realization of material, social, and status needs and the need for self-development. The impact of employment on economic development, social stability, and the well-being of society is analyzed. It has been proven that solving employment problems is necessary for ensuring society's social security through the successful construction of a socially oriented market economy. The critical problems of employment and social security in Ukraine during the war are identified. Among them, the destruction and damage to the infrastructure of individual enterprises, the occupation of territories, general economic instability, which leads to a reduction in production and the deterioration of the financial condition of enterprises, a high level of unemployment with an insufficient number of highly qualified specialists, significant resettlement of the population, including refugees and internally displaced persons, which leads to disparities in labor markets in different regions. It has been proven that the issues of employment and socio-economic recovery in the conditions of a military conflict are highly complex and require a complex approach from the authorities, the public, and international organizations. Particular attention should be paid to developing support programs, training, and retraining to provide the population with opportunities to restore stability and everyday functioning in the labor market, which will positively affect social security.
Keywords: social security, security factors, working population, employment, unemployment.
Der Thurgauer Ausbildungsgang zur Primarlehrerin/zum Primarlehrer für Berufsleute. Eine ebenbürtige Ausbildung
Authors: Hablützel Ernst
Published: February 2024

Seit 1964 führte das Thurgauische Lehrerseminar Kreuzlingen sogenannte Umschulungskurse für Berufsleute als Notmassnahme gegen den krassen Lehrermangel. Da das Echo auf diese Lehrerinnen und Lehrer in der Bevölkerung und beiden Inspektoren durchaus positiv war und insbesondere deren überdurchschnittliche Berufstreue auffiel, wurde dieser Ausbildungsgang 1982 ins neue Mittelschulgesetz des Kantons Thurgau aufgenommen - neben dem seminaristischen Ausbildungsgang und demjenigen über die Maturität. 1988/90 wurde der erste Kurs nach einem neuen Konzept durchgeführt. Der folgende Artikel berichtet über das Besondere an diesem Ausbildungsgang und weist auf spezifische Schwierigkeiten hin, die bei dieser Art Erwachsenenbildung auftreten können.
Was verstehen Sie unter Fachdidaktik? Expert(inn)en-Befragung zur Fachdidaktik und zur Fachdidaktiker(innen)-Ausbildung
Authors: Bonati Peter , Born Regine , Dubs Rolf , Frey Karl , Meili-Lehner Dorothea , Reusser Kurt
Published: February 2024

Die Auffassungen über das (Wissenschafts-)Verständnis von Fachdidaktik, über ihre Abgrenzung von Nachbardisziplinen, über ihre Funktion in der Lehrer(innen)bildung und über die Aus- und Fortbildungsstrukturen und -inhalte von Fachdidaktiker(inne)n sind durchaus nicht einheitlich. Sie dürften u.a. wesentlich davon abhängen, aus welchem beruflichen Blickwinkel man sich mit dem Gebiet beschäftigt und welche Fachbereiche und Ausbildungsstufen man dabei im Auge hat. Wir legten sechs Expert(inn)en, Leiterinnen und Leitern von Instituten, an denen Lehrer(innen) verschiedener Stufen und Fachbereiche ausgebildet werden, je vier Fragen zu den obigen Problemkreisen vor, die sie in schriftlichen Statements beantworteten. Prof. Dr. Rudolf Künzli, Rektor des Aargauischen Instituts für Bezirkslehrer/innen- Bildung (Didaktikum) und selber Experte in erziehungswissenschaftlichen Fragen, hat die "Interview"-Beiträge gesichtet, Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede in den Expert(inn)en-Antworten ausgemacht und einen wissenschaftskritischen Kommentar aus seiner Sicht beigefügt.

Authors: Adamina Marco , Bartlome Klaus , Eggenberger Kurt , Moser Daniel V.
Published: February 2024

Lehrmittel entstehen heute in der Regel im Team. Neben Fachwissenschaftern und Praktikern werden zur Erarbeitung zunehmend Fachdidaktiker beigezogen. Welches ist ihr Beitrag bei der Lehrmittelerarbeitung und -einführung? Wie beeinflusst die Lehrmittelarbeit das Fach- und Fachdidaktikverständnis? Wie sollen Lehrmittel in Grundausbildung und Fortbildung eingeführt werden? Wie qualifiziert sich ein Fachdidaktiker zum Lehrmittel(mit)autor? Diesen Fragen ging ein Gespräch zwischen drei Lehrmittelautoren nach, deren Aussagen wir hier - gekürzt - wiedergeben.
Lernen auf eigenen Wegen - mit Kernideen und Reisetagebüchern
Authors: Ruf Urs , Gallin Peter
Published: February 2024

Im September 1990 ist das Buch "Sprache und Mathematik in der Schule. Auf eigenen Wegen zur Fachkompetenz" (LCH / Lehrmittelverlag Zürich) erschienen, in welchem Untersuchungen der beiden Autoren zum individuellen Lernverhalten und die daraus abgeleitete Didaktik der Kernideen und des Reisetagebuchs dargestellt sind. Es wird nachgewiesen und an Beispielen erläutert, dass eine grundlegend neue Einstellung gegenüber den Schulstoffen und den Schülerprodukten Voraussetzung ist für einen Unterricht, in welchem der Aufbau einer fundierten Fachkompetenz und die Bildung einer selbständigen und verantwortungsbewussten Persönlichkeit sich wechselseitig fördern und bedingen. Das Konzept "Lernen auf eigenen Wegen" ist in den Jahren 1988 bis 1990 als Schulprojekt der Erziehungsdirektion Zürich mit sieben Klassen auf allen Stufen der Volksschule erprobt worden. Ein kurzer Einblick in dieses Projekt soll hier zeigen, wie die Arbeit mit Kernideen und Reisetagebüchern in der Praxis aussieht und auf welchen didaktischen Prinzipien sie beruht. Daraus ergeben sich auch Konsequenzen für die Aus- und Fortbildung der Lehrerinnen und Lehrer.
