ІННОВАЦІЙНА ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ЯК ВИД ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ ТВОРЧОСТІ ВИХОВАТЕЛЯ ЗАКЛАДУ ДОШКІЛЬНОЇ ОСВІТИ
Authors: ЄМЧИК Олександра
Published: May 2023

Статтю присвячено аналізі особливостей інноваційної діяльності у контексті відповідності вимогам до педагогічної творчості фахівця з дошкільної освіти. Наголошено на необхідності провадити інноваційну діяльність вихователем закладу дошкільної освіти, залучаючи при цьому власний творчий потенціал. Від рівня його сформованості залежатиме успішність та якість освітнього процесу. Основною метою роботи педагога з дітьми є формування компетентностей, достатніх для адаптації дитини до умов оточуючого середовища, здатності відповідати на виклики, зокрема й освітні, приймати самостійні рішення стосовно завдань та результатів власної діяльності. Узагальнено, що розвиток дошкільної освіти, її перехід на новий якісний рівень неможливий без розробки та впровадження інноваційних технологій виховання, навчання та розвитку дітей дошкільного віку. Інноваційну педагогічну діяльність визначено як комплексну, багатофункціональну діяльність особистості, засновану на її активності та спрямовану на осмислення педагогічного досвіду та трансформацію освітнього процесу на його основі з метою підвищення ефективності педагогічних впливів шляхом впровадження інновацій. Співставлено ознаки, етапи, рівні інноваційної діяльності педагога із змістовими характеристиками творчої педагогічної діяльності. Визначено, що інноваційні зміни в дошкільній освіті можливі тільки за наявності підготовлених кваліфікованих педагогічних кадрів, у яких сформована інноваційна компетентність на основі творчого педагогічного потенціалу. Важливість формування готовності вихователя до здійснення інноваційної та творчої педагогічної діяльності під час організації, забезпечення та реалізації освітнього процесу в закладі дошкільної освіти, а також створення відповідного середовища зумовили впровадження відповідних освітніх компонентів в освітні програми підготовки бакалавра (Інноваційні педагогічні технології у дошкільній освіті) та магістра дошкільної освіти (Педагогічна творчість та самоменеджмент організатора дошкільної освіти).

Am I Pretty? The Influence of Mainstream Media on Beauty Ideals
Authors: Nantais Erin
Published: May 2023

Why is a specific, narrow, and stereotypical standard of beauty typically perceived as more valuable, more worthy, and more desirable than others? Commercial and mainstream media play a significant role in carefully crafting societal expectations of beauty standards and ideals. This research project analyzes well-known body-positive advertisements, campaigns, and popular mainstream media to identify trends and embedded messages that reinforce negative and stereotypical beauty ideals. This research takes a critical perspective on the ways in which commercial media can influence the way we view others and ourselves. This research suggests that unrealistic and narrow beauty ideals have been created and maintained through media with the ultimate goal of making a profit from consumers’ insecurities. The overarching contradictions and communicated messages of the analyzed advertisements and literature are reflected and communicated through text and photography in a digital magazine format entitled “Am I Pretty?”. This project utilizes messages and themes often communicated indirectly by commercial media and flips those messages back to the reader, encouraging deeper critical reflection about media messages of beauty we often passively internalize. “Am I Pretty?” is a critical reflection of beauty ideals embedded in mainstream media that we so blindly value and look up to. 
Planetarium: Visualized Goal Tracker in Your Pocket
Authors: Moayyedian Roozbeh
Published: May 2023

With the vast number of distractions that exist in our lives today, it is very hard to stay focused on our goals and accomplish our tasks. Smartphone apps have the potential to be very constructive, but unfortunately sometimes have a destructive effect on our lives. Smartphone- based goal and activity tracker applications can provide users with data to support self-reflection, allowing the user to be more aware of their behaviors, and how those behaviors map to explicit goals and values around attention, focus, etc. The use of Gamification and data visualization is becoming more and more popular in lifestyle and social applications, and it is proven to be useful in increasing the users’ productivity.

There are many goal setting apps available on different platforms at the moment, other than a few, they mostly lack engagement with the users and, in other words, they do not provide any sort of tangible reward for the accomplishment of tasks.

Planetarium is a project that brings gamification to users’ short term and long term goals as well as the opportunity to reflect on personal well being and productivity.

This major research project explores ways to bring productivity to the user’s day to day lives through gamification and visual representation of the users’ goals and daily behavior. 
Don’t Touch That: Enhancing the Post-COVID Interactive Theme Park Experience
Authors: Le Emily
Published: May 2023

The project identified functional performance requirements for supporting immersion and engagement while also promoting safe distancing and touchless interaction in the queue areas of attractions. Previous researchers identified that theme park queues must sustain guest engagement while also creating positive feelings towards wait times. Interactivity has been introduced within these spaces, however, pandemic control measures, like social distancing, conflict with many of these offerings. A solution is represented in this study by a prototype and implemented in a hypothetical themed attraction. By creating this element, guests will be able to stay six feet away from each other, while engaging in an immersive, themed narrative through motion sensors directed by Arduino. Experts favoured the prototype’s ability to encourage contactless engagement while social distancing while enhancing an engaging experience. The proposed prototype is a tangible example of an immersive, touchless interaction with a design approach that is feasible, appealing and merits further consideration and development. 
Content analysis of nature documentaries in China: challenges and opportunities to raise public conservation awareness
Authors: Wei Haonan , Berdejo-Espinola Violeta , Amano Tatsuya , Ma Yunjie
Published: May 2023

1.     In the Anthropocene, the general public is a key part of biodiversity conservation since several aspects of their daily life are inevitably linked to major threats to biodiversity. It is thus important to improve their conservation awareness. While a growing body of research has demonstrated the potential of English-language nature documentaries to raise public conservation awareness, little attention has been paid to the potential of non-English-language nature documentaries. 2.     Here, we assessed the challenges and opportunities for nature documentaries broadcasted in China in 2021 to raise public conservation awareness by investigating their thematic, geographical, and taxonomic coverages using a content analysis approach. 3.     We found that terrestrial biomes, mammals, and birds were overrepresented in nature documentaries in China, while only a quarter of documentaries explicitly covered human destructive impacts on nature. To further promote public conservation awareness, there is an urgent need to cover under-represented realms/biomes (e.g., freshwater realm and deep-marine biome), taxa (e.g., invertebrates, plants, and fungi), and anthropogenic threats in future documentaries. Nevertheless, nature documentaries in China also showed a relatively good coverage of threatened species and biomes under human influence (e.g., cities and farmlands), which have increasingly been shown to be important for conservation.4.     We also found that domestically-produced, Chinese-language nature documentaries provided unique information on biodiversity and ecosystems in China, such as local biomes and endemic species, highlighting their role in raising conservation awareness in China and worldwide. However, only 9% of them provided English subtitles/versions. Making Chinese-language nature documentaries accessible to the global community by translating them into other languages would help us increase international awareness of biodiversity in China.5.     The methodological approach of this study is easily applicable to nature documentaries produced in other parts of the world. By better understanding the content coverage of nature documentaries globally, we can address knowledge gaps in their thematic, geographical, and taxonomic coverages and maximise their contribution to raising conservation awareness.
Quantitative Assessment of Destination Service Quality of the Buddhist Circuit Using Relative Importance Index
Authors: Raman Ranjeet Kumar Raman
Published: May 2023

This paper aims to quantitatively assess the destination service quality of the Buddhist Circuit, a network of sacred Buddhist sites located in India. The quality of destination services is critical to visitor satisfaction, which, in turn, affects the sustainability of the tourism industry. Despite the popularity of the Buddhist Circuit as an iconic tourism circuit, little is known about the quality of services offered at the site, which could impact the overall visitor experience. A quantitative research design is followed based on a structured questionnaire survey. The empirical data for the study was collected at five prominent destinations along the Buddhist Circuit: Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir, Vaishali, and Sarnath. The data gathered from the survey was analyzed using the relative importance index (RII) method. The study identified key service attributes that shape the destination service quality of the Buddhist Circuit and highlighted areas for improvement. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, destination management organizations (DMOs), and service providers to enhance service quality and improve the visitor experience at the Buddhist Circuit.
A Study on Media Coverage of Algorithms under Framing Theory: The Case of Reports on Algorithms from Xinhua News Agency from 2021 to 2022
Authors: Shi Beiya , Pei Yu
Published: May 2023

The continuous improvement and wide array of applications of algorithms have demonstrated both the promise of technological power and the perils of new problems and some entrenched social issues. At this time, mainstream media being a vital channel for information dissemination, their coverage of algorithms can reflect different attitudes and expectations towards algorithmic development from diverse groups. Thereby, the objective of this study is to explore how influential media tell the story of algorithms to people, how individuals from distinct walks view this contentious topic, and, accordingly, what we can expect to witness in the following report on algorithms from news agencies. Based on the Framing Theory, this study systematically analyzes the news reports about algorithms published by Xinhua News Agency over the past two years (2021-2022) on the basis of the thematic framework, responsibility framework, and emotional framework. The result of it reveals that Xinhua News Agency has paid much attention to the issues of regulation and governance of algorithms from the perspective of the government. Ethical concerns regarding its fair usage are also highly debated among the general public. Companies and research institutions mainly focus on publicizing their latest achievements in innovative applications and technological breakthroughs, while the former is absent from the discussions and draft of regulations in this line. Worthy of note, negative reports on this domain were prevalent among the public, while the Chinese government, businesses and research institutions tended to approach algorithm-related topics from a positive or neutral standpoint. In the future, relevant disputes will persist in the public opinion field, and people could enhance their algorithmic literacy throughout the process. Governance and development may go ahead in step. Co-governance with the engagement of enterprises and diversification of algorithmic applications both signify a promising tomorrow of this technology.

Published: May 2023

Patients with hypertension usually experience chronic comorbidities and complications that require complex treatment (polypharmacy), which can further cause drug-related problems (DRPs) and interfere with the required clinical outcomes. This study, by using a case-control prospective cross-sectional, aimed to analyze the association between DRPs and blood pressures (BPs) of hypertensive patients admitted to Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) hospital from July to September 2021. The incidence of DRPs was analyzed and classified according to the Cipolle classification system and reliable literature. Blood pressures of the patients were classified into controlled and uncontrolled BPs. The association between DRPs and BP was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Most of the patients (57.5%) were female. Their mean age was 59±9.94 (years). The mean incidence of DRPs experienced by the patients was 1.78±0.79. The most frequently occurred DRPs were drug interactions. There was a significant association between the number of DRPs experienced by the patients and their BPs (p=0.02). DRPs are the contributing factor to the uncontrolled BPs of hypertensive patients.

A study was conducted for assessing seed health status of four varieties of rice (Oryza sativa) viz. BR 11, BRRI Dhan 28, BRRI Dhan 29 and BRRI Dhan 40 and management of seed borne fungal pathogens by selected chemical namely Thiovit (4%) and a bio-control agent BAU-Biofungicide @ 2% (Trichoderma based preparation) at Seed Pathology Center (SPC) and M.S. Laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Seed health test by blotter method revealed that seven seed borne fungi belonging to six genera viz. Alternaria padwickii (0.5%-1%), Bipolaris oryzae (1%-6.5%), Curvularia lunata (1%-5.5%), Fusarium moniliforme (3%-8.5%), Fusarium oxysporum (2%-9%), Aspergillus flavus (0.5%-1.5%) and Penicillium spp (0.5%-1%) were associated with the seeds. Germination of seeds of the four selected rice varieties varied from 94% to 98.50% (blotter method). In treated seeds, germination ranged from 88-100%.  The highest germination (100%) was found in BRRI Dhan 28 when seeds were treated with BAU-Biofungicide and the lowest was (88%) in BRRI Dhan 29. The tested samples produced healthy seedlings (77 to 98%), diseased seedlings (2 to 15%), diseased seeds (0 to 7%) and dead seeds (0 to 5%). Upto 18.18% higher formation of healthy seedlings over control was achieved by treating seeds with BAU-Biofungicide and it also significantly decreased (upto 81.82%) formation of diseased seedlings over the control treatment. The highest vigor index (1306%) was in BRRI Dhan 28 when seeds were treated with BAU-Biofungicide and the lowest was (2805%) in BRRI Dhan 29 under control (untreated). Moreover, BAU-Biofungicide increased up to 81.82% Vigor index over untreated control.

Skills required by pupils for the 21st century differ from what was required twenty years back. The results of the 21st century concentrates on the abilities and knowledge pupils must learn to be successful in college, life and work. In order to do this, pupils should be taught to master critical thinking skills. The effective way is by including modelling in their syllabus. In mathematics learning, mathematical modelling deals with modelling and application in mathematics teaching, characterising pupils’ modelling abilities and application of modelling activities toward building their competencies. In this study, seventy fifth grade pupils from a school in Selangor, Malaysia, were chosen as the participants. Quantitative approach was used in this study. These pupils were selected using convenience sampling procedure. Open ended tasks based on some real-world problems were given to the pupils. Their answers were assessed using a rubric score table. The scores ranged from 1 to 3 and there was explanation in each score to give marks to their answers. descriptive statistics and Analysis of Covariance (Ancova) were used for answering the research questions. The findings showed that the pupils in the experimental group performed very well in their modelling task whereas pupils in the control group could not perform well in the modelling task.

Цель. Провести анализ методов оценки несущей способности стальных конструкций с учетом теплообмена с примыкающими смежными строительными элементами.
Методы. Моделирование в системе конечно-элементного анализа, теоретический анализ.
Результаты. В системе конечно-элементного анализа ANSYS решена теплотехническая задача огнестойкости стальных огнезащищенных конструкций с учетом примыкания бетонного покрытия. Проведен анализ методов оценки несущей способности стальных конструкций с учетом теплообмена с примыкающими смежными строительными элементами. Определены преимущества и недостатки рассмотренных методов: методы могут учитывать примыкание смежных строительных конструкций как идеальную теплоизоляцию со стороны примыкания; путем применения повышающих коэффициентов огнестойкости в случаях, когда температура стального сечения или его элементарных площадок превышает 400 ℃.
Некоторые из рассмотренных методов учитывают теплообмен с примыкающими смежными элементами путем введения коэффициентов для примыкающих элементов из бетона или композитных плит. При этом стальные конструкции могут примыкать также к элементам из других материалов. Принимаемая температура для определения коэффициента снижения предела текучести согласно проанализированным источникам приводит к получению отличающихся значений несущей способности, что свидетельствует о необходимости проведения экспериментальных исследований для уточнения оптимальных значений принимаемой температуры.
Область применения исследований. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы для решения задач огнестойкости стальных конструкций с огнезащитой наружной поверхности с учетом теплообмена со смежными строительными конструкциями и элементами при проектировании и строительстве зданий и сооружений.
