Post-collisional reorganisation of the Eastern Alps in 4D: Crust and mantle structure
Authors: McPhee Peter , Handy Mark
Published: April 2024

The Eastern Alps were affected by a profound post-collisional tectonic reorganisation in Neogene time, featuring indentation by the Adriatic upper plate, rapid uplift and filling of the eastern Molasse Basin, rapid exhumation and eastward orogen-parallel transport of Tertiary metamorphic units in the orogenic core, and a shift from northward thrust propagation in the European plate to southward propagation in the Adriatic plate. We test the idea that these events were triggered by slab detachment by reconstructing the indentation process. This involved sequentially restoring N-S and E-W cross-sections of the orogenic wedge and correcting for out-of-section orogen-parallel transport with a map-view reconstruction. We propose two phases of indentation: Initially (23-14 Ma), the whole Adriatic crust acted as an indenter. Its northward motion was accommodated by upright folding and orogen-parallel extensional exhumation in the Tauern Window. This phase was followed (14 Ma-Present) by continued orogen-parallel transport of the orogenic edifice into the Pannonian Basin and deformation of the leading edge of the Adriatic indenter, forming the Southern Alps fold-thrust belt. The lower crust of the Southern Alps indented the base of the Venediger Nappes in the Tauern Window, forming a high-velocity (6.8-7.25 km/s) ridge at 30-45 km depth in map view. By correlating the post-23 Ma orogenic evolution with presently imaged European slab segments in P-wave teleseismic tomography, we discern two possible Neogene slab detachment events: One at 23-19 Ma triggering tectonic reorganisation of the Eastern Alps and its foreland basin, and potentially a second event after 14 Ma.

Inhibitory control development from infancy: identifying neural correlates and mapping behavioural trajectories into early childhood
Authors: Fiske Abigail
Published: April 2024

This thesis aims to investigate the behavioural development and neural correlates of inhibitory control across two key transitions in the early years of life. To do so, four experimental chapters are presented that report data from a longitudinal sample of participants at three age points: infancy (10-months), the transition to toddlerhood (16-months), and the start of early childhood (3½ years). A literature review is provided in the general introduction (Chapter 1), the methodological approaches taken to measure early inhibitory control development are described in Chapter 2, and an introduction to functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is presented in Chapter 3. The first three experimental chapters (Chapters 4 – 6) used fNIRS alongside an age-appropriate task to investigate the behavioural development and neural correlates of response inhibition across the first four years of life. Whilst there was no response inhibition improvement from 10- to 16-months, there was substantial change in the brain regions that were more active when inhibition was required at 16-months. By early childhood, response inhibition performance had significantly improved, yet there was some commonality in the brain regions recruited when inhibition was required at both 16-months and 3½ years. Chapter 7 presents a longitudinal examination of the development of ‘hot’ and ‘cool’ inhibitory control and investigates predictive associations with pre-academic skills in early childhood. Whilst there was some consistency in inhibitory control performance between tasks in infancy and early childhood, there was no evidence of longitudinal stability across development. Significant associations were found between ‘hot’ inhibitory control and early academic skills at 3½ years, suggesting that early inhibitory control skills may have an important role in early numeracy and language skills in the preschool years. Finally, Chapter 8 includes a discussion of the contributions this thesis makes to the field and evaluates the strengths and limitations of this research.
Challenges of Learning in Second Language among South African School Learners with Developmental Language Disorder
Authors: Ndou Nettie N. , Adewoye Segun Emmanuel
Published: April 2024

Language in education plays a critical role in effective teaching and learning worldwide. This study aimed to explore the challenges of learning in a second language among secondary school learners with developmental language disorder (DLD). The study also unveils strategies used by professionals to support learners and learners’ attitudes towards support. The study participants were learners (n = 12), teachers (n = 5), a speech Language therapist, and an educational psychologist. A qualitative research approach was utilised employing a case study as the research design. Data generation sources included non-participatory observations, interviews, and focus group discussions. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. Findings indicated that learning in a second language as the medium of instruction posed challenges for learners with DLD. They struggled with comprehension, reading, and word recognition of learning content. Teachers indicated that they used strategies such as remedial lessons and giving learners more reading material to enhance their vocabulary and narrative skills. They also referred learners to other professionals for further assistance. Parental involvement is also encouraged in support of learners. However, one of the factors limiting learners’ support is learners’ attitudes. Learners’ attitudes towards support may be attributed to limited awareness of DLD. Hence, there is a need to raise awareness of DLD among the learners. An in-depth course on special education in secondary teacher training programmes is necessary to further equip teachers with strategies to enhance inclusive classrooms. The promotion of local languages as a medium of instruction must be highly prioritised, even at a secondary level of education.
Factors Causing Overpassivisation of Unaccusative Verbs by Japanese Learners of English
Authors: Okamura Hiromu , Shirahata Tomohiko
Published: April 2024

It has been reported that second language (L2) learners of English including Japanese learners of English (JLEs) overpassivise unaccusative verbs although it is a kind of intransitive verbs. In order to account for the phenomenon, several assumptions have been proposed. However, so far, it is unclear which assumption is the most effective for explaining the overpassivisation of unaccusatives. Thus, this study tries to examine which of the three factors, animacy of subjects, existence of conceptualizable agents, or telicity of verbs, the most strongly affects overpassivisation of unaccusative verbs by JLEs. In this study, we conducted two experiments to examine this question. Study 1 was conducted with 100 university JLEs to compare the effect of animacy of subjects with that of the existence of conceptualizable agents. As a result, it was found that the animacy of subjects more strongly affected the overpassivisation of unaccusatives than the existence of conceptualizable agents. We conducted Study 2 with 101 university JLEs to examine which of the two factors, the existence of conceptualizable agents or the degree of telicity, is more influential. The results showed that the former was influential, but the latter was less so on the overpassivisation of unaccusatives. From the results of the two experiments, we concluded that the animacy of subject is the strongest influential factor among the three. On the other hand, the telicity of verbs hardly influences any errors.
Fiction As Social Protest: Liyanage Amarakeerthi’s Stand Against Militarized Education
Authors: Ratnayake M. D.
Published: April 2024

This paper looks at how fiction can be used as an effective means to protest about social issues, taking the case of what can be called the militarization of education, and the stand one writer took against it through two of his postwar novels. It will analyze how, through plot and characterization, the writer shows what harm can befall a society if what is expected in militarized education, i.e. unquestioning obedience to power and authority, bears results. The point this paper makes is that fiction is an effective tool in protests, and just like this particular writer took part in the physical rallies that many Sri Lankan academics were involved in, in 2021, in opposing what they thought was the government’s attempts to militarize the higher education system of Sri Lanka, he also put forth that resistance in his creative work, perhaps making deeper and more long-lasting inroads into the minds of the people about the harm such an education might bring to this country. In the two novels chosen here for analysis, two unconventional university students give their opinion quite ruthlessly about what is happening to the protagonists who are both involved in the media and being used for ends they themselves are unaware of. Through these plot structures, Amarakeerthi is able to explore the nexus between media, capitalism and nationalism in Sri Lanka, the awareness of which is crucial to Sri Lankans if they are to navigate the politics of post war Sri Lanka without harming themselves.
Causes of injuries in professional football referees
Authors: Abdula Anatoliy
Published: April 2024

The professional activity of a football referee consists of heavy loads and psychological pressure, which significantly affects his health. Unlike professional football players, referees monitor their health most of the time on their own, without having the opportunity to be under the control of sports doctors. During the research, we conducted a survey of 30 referees of the Premier League of Ukraine aged 27-45. Questions related to the occurrence and nature of injuries during various activities of a football referee were included in the questionnaire. It was found that the largest number of injuries of football referees of the Premier League of Ukraine is muscle strain that occurs during intensive work. Еhe highest number of muscle strain injuries 26.0 -1.8 occurs during the performance of the physical training test, which includes: the YO-YO test and the maximum running of 6 segments of 40 m. The number of received injuries related to problems joints, depending on sports activity, are: during training - 11.3 -0.5 injuries, during a match - 6.3 -0.9 and 8.7 -1.1 injuries - during testing. The largest number of dislocations, fractures and other injuries also occurs during training activities and is 3.1 -0.3 injuries and 2.2 -0.3 injuries, respectively.

The age of the football referee significantly affects the number of sports injuries. Yes, referees after the age of 41 have a tendency to get muscle strains and joint inflammation. During the tests, referees get more injuries than during the game and training, which indicates that the physical training tests do not match the main motor activity.
Optimization of pedagogical control of educational achievements of school students in the process of studying martial arts
Authors: Arkhypov О.A.
Published: April 2024

The paper discusses the problem of using the best movement tests in the physical education of schoolchildren in martial arts, which makes it possible to bring the educational process of Ukraine closer to European standards.

Studies have shown that a confident, reliable restructuring of motor skills is possible only when the object of influence is not the executive, but the orienting part of the action [1-12].

Assessment of the quality of assimilation of the action at the final stage of training sums up the learning process as a whole: all the main characteristics of the action and the quality of the product of the action are taken into account. The accuracy of solving a motor problem is determined by the indicators of its efficiency, economy, and biomechanical expediency. The stability of the effect is estimated by the average result in a series of attempts. The degree of generalization is estimated by the indicators of accuracy and stability under various changes in individual conditions of the motor task, which do not change its essence. The automaticity of motor action is assessed by accuracy, stability and generalization when switching attention to the solution of related tasks: mentally orienting and motor – performing and correcting, as well as tasks that are not directly related to the action being performed. The final assessment of the quality of assimilation of the motor action that is being studied depends on the level of its assimilation [1; 6; 9; 11].

Published: April 2024

The article reveals the theoretical issues of patriotic upbringing and physical readiness of students of educational institutions to defend the state. It was revealed that modern realities led to intensify the search for an effective content of the educational process in physical education, the introduction of physical culture, health and applied technologies to increase the level of physical fitness and mastery of military-applied physical skills and abilities by students of higher education institutions. The purpose of the article is to study the state of physical preparedness of students of higher education institutions to protect the national sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine. Physical readiness refers to the student's physical condition which allows him to perform physical exercises and overcome obstacles that may be encountered in accordance with the requirements of the military task. Departments of physical education should ensure the proper physical readiness of students for life and military service in higher education institutions. Currently, the level of physical preparedness of students of higher education institutions does not meet the requirements for conscripts in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Studies have confirmed that only 7.0% of first-year students have a high level of physical preparedness, these are as a rule athletes who have a high qualification or those who systematically do physical exercises, visit gyms or physical culture and health centers. 24.0% of students are classified as average, 37.2% as low and 31.8% as poor respectively. It can be assumed that 69.0% of the first-year students who have just entered the university are not ready to defend the Motherland in terms of physical preparedness. The system of physical education in higher education institutions of Ukraine needs a fundamental restructuring and restoration.

Summary. The physical training of future border guards forms the basis of their professional activities. Therefore, considerable attention is paid to it during training at a specialized university. With the help of physical training, the necessary physical, psychophysiological and mental indicators of the body are achieved and formed. Systematic physical exercises materialize special knowledge and skills into parameters of professional reliability. Participating in team sports, particularly basketball, involves regular physical activity that contributes to the general health and well-being of cadets. Basketball teaches the value of teamwork and cooperation. In a team environment, players learn to work toward common goals, support each other's strengths, and compensate for each other's weaknesses, and these experiences eventually translate into valuable life skills. Team sports are always challenges that allow cadets to develop emotional stability. Facing difficulties on the sports field helps to develop strength, perseverance and a positive attitude towards failure. In addition, team sports contribute to the development of strong character traits. It is shown that group sports contribute to the development of cadets’ command qualities and high physical indicators that are important for achieving the set goals. Playing sports definitely contribute to increasing psychological preparedness, create conditions for active recreation during the period of stress. Thus, basketball definitely develops a person not only physically, but also mentally.

The article examines the use of basketball during the physical training of future border guards and the impact of this sport on the psychological state of cadets, as well as outlines the main directions for future scientific research on this topic.

Authors: M.Ibrahim Najhan , Hassan Mohd Fadzil
Published: April 2024

In software engineering, formal methods are mathematical based techniques used to provide the specification, development, and verification of software systems prior to the implementation. The formal methods have been used widely in software development because of its promising benefits in coherence degree and coordination between activities of software application. Coordination is a common issue in distributed cross-platform communications, which implemented in agent-based software. The study of the coordination problem is an important issue in the multi-agent system. In the current software development industry, most software products are produced with the expectation that the application will provide intelligent coordination with the minimum level of interruption. This case is not always acceptable especially for the critical system especially those that deal with complex communications that involved multiple types of participants where the partner application needs to know about the basic guide and specification of each other. The proposed solution is dealing with one of these issues as it evaluates the coordination between the partner applications where the accuracy of responding is involved. For this reason, we modeled the proposed system mathematically using Coordination mechanisms to validate and verify the system for cross-platform communications in SOA system.

This paper introduces a conceptual business model for a web and mobile application-based online platform called “Best4u.com”.  This platform enables people to buy and sell second-hand products. “Best4u.com” aims to accomplish one of the Sustainable Development Goal 12, to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. The business model for this app is developed by the design thinking method, which helps to understand the crucial problems, possible solutions, validation of customers' segments, and suggestions for conceptual solutions. The other tools used are Business Model Canvas (BMC), Value Proposition Canvas (VPC), Environment Map (EM). A survey with the initial potential customers has been conducted to validate the initial Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas. The majority of our respondents are comfortable with internet shopping, and they use it to buy books, gadgets, and other items. The finding of the survey revealed that most individuals aren't interested in doing online secondhand buying because there aren't many effective business platforms available. They are, nevertheless, willing to buy their essential used things online if several important issues, such as delayed delivery, fraudulent products, and transportation costs, are addressed. Finally, this paper provides a validated conceptual business model of an online second-hand shopping platform/apps, which is called “Best4u.com”, with the goal of making online second-hand shopping easier.

Connection and communication are heavily contingent on the internet and mobile apps, especially in this pandemic. With the blessings of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the population of this digital era are highly dependent on several mobile applications. Undoubtedly, mobile apps have made our life easier and more straightforward, especially in the communication sector. There are at least hundreds of chat applications worldwide. Most of these communication platforms have been developed with many interactive and complex features designed mainly for the younger generation. However, in the perspective of Bangladesh, the older generation is unfamiliar and less comfortable with the concept and lacks the necessary digital literacy to use these advanced communication platforms. They frequently encounter difficulties in comprehending and using those applications. Thus, the authors described human-computer interaction (HCI) and briefly discussed some of the design issues from older adults' experiences in this report. Furthermore, a suitably designed chat application was  proposed based on understanding the challenges faced by the elderly. With a user-centered approach, the design emphasizes simplicity and minimalism, making it easier for the elderly to communicate through mobile technology.

In today's increasingly inter-connected and globalized world, global mega forces including geopolitical, economic, technological and environmental have caused the landscape of higher education to become volatile. Higher education institutes (HEIs) have been faced with increasing scrutiny, competition, regulation, financial and societal challenges. Moreover, along with the unexpected arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and various disruptors driving for change including the evolution of digital technologies, democratization of knowledge, global mobility, demographic shifts, and the rise of online educational services, HEIs are in need of new alternate business models for agility, relevancy, and to continue to thrive and operate to offer value and reclaim their position as drivers of innovation, economic development and societal wellbeing. This paper develops and proposes through the adoption of the design thinking methodology an alternate conceptual business model for a Malaysian private healthcare University-of-the-Future (UotF) using the renowned Business Model Canvas (BMC) and Strategy Canvas (SC) frameworks. The results form the analysis and design of the BMC and SC indicates that the principal changes required to digitally transform the university to a UotF includes: the adoption of an open learning system for flexible and lifelong learning; transitioning the campus to a more 'smart', eco-friendly and sustainable campus; incorporating the latest artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, and data analytics to improve the university‘s management systems and enhance delivery mechanisms for teaching and learning; and to improve community engagement relationships and partnerships to deliver value to the economic, health and safety of the society, as well as to leverage the open learning system to provide curated courses to niche categories of students locally and globally.

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to provide a one-stop clothing center that assembles different types of apparel products or services on a digital platform and in physical stores aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in no poverty, decent work, economic and growth and responsible consumption and production. The global pandemic has made our circumstances challenging, particularly financially. The population most affected is the B40 community, commonly known as the Bottom 40%, whose household income is less than RM4,850. With the Movement Control Order, the majority of the businesses were shut down and this has had an effect on commercial retailers as well. This paper also highlights the pains and challenges faced by the customer segments, the B40 community, unemployed/ retrenched workers, commercial retail customers, donors, and clothing service providers. The Design Thinking (DT) process was applied as the methodology that includes the literature review and the usage of  tools like Business Model Canvas (BMC) and Value Proposition Canvas (VPC). This paper also aims to provide customers with trendy and variety choices of clothes and style senses that also promote and encourage people to recycle their unused clothes. In addition, through reskilling and upskilling the B40 community,especially along with the unemployed workers, can gain relevant skills and nurture themselves to be environmental fashionpreneurs.

This article considers the current issues of administrative offenses committed by minors in the Republic of  Kazakhstan. In particular, lawyers, sociologists, psychologists and other scientists studying the genesis of offenses and the legitimacy of the mechanism of legal liability for administrative offenses believe that the  only basis for bringing juveniles to justice is the offense committed by them. In this regard, one of the most  pressing issues is the problem of prevention, warning and combating juvenile delinquency, which can ultimately lead to a significant reduction. Therefore it should be noted that government agencies and officials  should pay attention to the prevention and warning of delinquency when dealing with minors. The authors  draw attention to the fact that, as practice shows, timely preventive measures taken to prevent administrative  offenses of minors are of particular importance in legal and educational relations as an alternative to measures  of administrative responsibility. Therefore the authors has conducted a profound and extensive study of the  issue of neglect of children today, analyzing the reforms, views and opinions that have been recognized as  worthy of complex and in-depth study, taking into account all stakeholders, including government agencies, social workers, scientists and others.
