Digital storytelling to engage and support Toitū te Tangata | The Whole Person
Authors: Wuthnow Julie
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes the adoption of digital storytelling (DS) by Tertiary Learning Advisors (TLAs) as an effective pedagogical tool for the support of toitū te tangata | the whole person of tertiary students in Aotearoa New Zealand. It explains the DS process and discusses how it provides a means to address issues of equity for these ākonga | students, helps them to develop a sense of identity in what may be a challenging or unfamiliar environment, and provides them with a form of “digital empowerment”, all of which are essential for wellbeing in the 21st century. It closes by arguing that TLAs are well-placed to establish and sustain this valuable practice within the context of embedded teaching.
Cyrkularność i translacja w perspektywie biograficznej. Doświadczenia badawcze z małego miasta
Authors: Łukowski Wojciech
Published: December 2024

Artykuł odwołuje się do badań etnograficznych na temat mobilności mieszkańców małego miasta. Tekst zawiera próbę refleksji nad cyrkularnością i translacją w procesie badawczym, co nie tyle przeciwstawiane jest badaniom prowadzonym linearnie, ile pokazuje potencjał tych procedur. Sprawdzają się one szczególnie w projektach, które mają dłuższy horyzont czasowy, oraz takich, w których zgodnie z założeniami teorii ugruntowanej mogą wyłaniać się nowe wymiary rzeczywistości bądź nowe jej aspekty, dotychczas traktowane marginalnie lub pozostające poza polem widzenia. Główny wniosek płynący z dostrzeżenia i praktykowania podejścia opartego na cyrkularności i translacji jest taki, że należy je traktować jako uzupełnienie i wzbogacenie badań prowadzonych wedle wcześniej opracowanego planu i harmonogramu.

Accurate sales forecasting is essential for building an effective business strategy. It empowers companies to make smarter decisions that keep inventory in check, manage resources wisely, and adapt to shifting customer demands. By predicting sales accurately, businesses can cut down on the costs of having too much or too little stock, manage cash flow more efficiently, and fine-tune their marketing and sales efforts. Traditional forecasting methods, like moving averages and autoregressive models, have been helpful but often fall short when it comes to the complex, fast-changing data that modern businesses deal with, influenced by seasonality, promotions, and consumer trends. These limitations have paved the way for machine learning (ML). In this research we can reveal hidden patterns in large datasets for much more precise predictions. With machine learning, companies can draw on diverse data sources, including historical sales, market trends, economic indicators, and even outside factors like weather or social media trends, to create more accurate and flexible forecasts.
Effect of ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration pretreatment on drying of
pineapple core
Authors: Saiman N.E.A. , Abdullah N. , Muhammad N.
Published: December 2024

This research aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration
(UAOD) on the drying of pineapple core slices. This study compared conventional
osmotic dehydration (OD) utilizing sucrose as the osmotic agent, at varying volumes of
10, 30, and 50 mL, as well as immersion times of 2, 31, and 60 mins. The OD process
served as a control with no sonication treatment. Response variables including water loss,
solid gain, hardness change, and stickiness change were measured. The optimal osmotic
pretreatment conditions were determined after assessing the effect of sucrose solution
volume and immersion time on response variables. The effect of the osmotic pretreatment
conditions on the drying time and water diffusivity was also evaluated. The results showed
that water loss increased with treatment time, while solid gain and texture exhibited a
decline. The optimal conditions identified were a sucrose solution volume of 50 mL with a
2-min immersion time for OD and 37.76 mins for UOAD. Results indicated that UAOD
significantly decreased drying time by 23% and allowed moisture content to reach as low
as 15%, while OD could not reach moisture content below 30% without sonication. These
findings suggested that UAOD can improve both the quality and drying efficiency in
pineapple processing, while also positioning pineapple core as a valuable food product
and improving energy efficiency in the pineapple processing industry.

ДОСВІД ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ХМАРНИХ СЕРВІСІВ В УНІВЕРСИТЕТАХ США В ПРОЦЕСІ ПІДГОТОВЦІ БАКАЛАВРІВ З ІТ
Authors: Павлига П. Д.
Published: December 2024

Статтю присвячено порівнянню силабусів навчальних дисциплін з ІТ (інформаційних технологій) у провідних університетах США в аспекті використання хмарних технологій в навчальному процесі. Основна мета полягає у виявленні найбільш успішних практик, які можуть бути впроваджені в закладах вищої освіти України. У статті розглядалися загальнодоступні хмарні сервіси (платні та безкоштовні), а також вивчався досвід створення нових систем, які вирішують потреби конкретного університету, що пов’язані зі специфікою його навчального процесу, та нестандартних проблем. Актуальність дослідження зумовлена стрімким розвитком цифрових технологій та їх впливом на сферу освіти, зокрема в контексті пандемії COVID-19, військової агресії країни-терориста та переходу на дистанційне навчання. Також під час дослідження було виявлено, що багато викладачів навчають майбутніх бакалаврів з ІТ використовувати вузькоспеціалізовані сервіси, що стануть їм у пригоді в їх майбутній професійній діяльності. Причому навчальні курси не мають на меті навчити цим сервісам, а самі сервіси використовуються для вдосконалення навчального процесу. Тим самим сама організація процесу навчання, побудована на комбінації різних програм, розвиває у студентів навички, необхідні в майбутній професійній діяльності. У статті використано дані з різних рейтингів з навчання ІТ бакалаврів для обрання пʼятьох найкращих університетів в цій галузі. І потім розкрито основні аспекти використання хмарних сервісів у навчанні ІТ-фахівців з огляду на аналіз силабусів навчальних дисциплін зі схожих тематик цих університетів. У дослідженні використані різноманітні методи аналізу, зокрема порівняльний огляд рейтингів кращих університетів, вивчення структури навчальних програм і оцінка використання технологій у навчальному процесі. Отримані результати дають змогу краще зрозуміти роль хмарних сервісів у сучасній ІТ-освіті, виокремити кращі практики й надати рекомендації для вдосконалення освітніх програм закладів вищої освіти України в майбутньому.
The theological language of Montessori education and its effects on educational processes in childhood
Authors: Neff Judith
Published: December 2024

The article relates to what historical educational research has been calling a theological heritage in pedagogy for some years now (e.g. Osterwalder 2005). The historical relationship between pedagogy and religion raises the question of how much theology there is in pedagogical concepts and what effects this theological content has on pedagogical practice. The study on which this article is based (Neff 2016) takes up these research findings and concerns and analyses them using the example of Montessori pedagogy. In addition to this legacy, findings of the analysis of Maria Montessori’s numerous writings reveal a further argument that makes her pedagogy relevant to the present day. Furthermore, the diverse reception history of Montessori’s statements on religion and religious education was analysed.
Acting “out-of-the-box” in Montessori teachers’ narratives – research report
Authors: Jendza Jarosław
Published: December 2024

In this article the author analyses the situations in which Montessori practitioners experience act­ing “outside-the-box”. This includes specific “events” in everyday professional practices that are unique, unexpected, somehow special, and therefore do not have any previously prescribed solu­tions or scenarios. Based on semi-structured, qualitative individual interviews analysis the author outlines the occurrences (usually child initiated) that invite Montessori teachers to “leave” well--known routines, explicitly described procedures and perhaps even the zone of comfort. One of the main results of the research is quite paradoxical. A teacher wanting to act “out-of-the-box”, needs to be consistent with one of the most important Montessori principles, which is following the child. In this sense, Montessori pedagogy can be seen as an open and educational system, inviting various in­terpretations, and promoting creativity, critical engagement, and innovation, rather than strict rules, clear and reliable methods, or precise techniques mastered during various teacher training courses.
PARALANGUAGE UNITS IN INITIAL AND RESPONSE DIALOGUE REPLICAS

In compiling a dictionary of paralinguistic units, it is important to
study the behavior of those units in a dialogue. The main focus of the paper is
exactly on that behavior .The article demonstrates that Russian paralinguistic
units are used in initial and response dialogue replicas. Of the three main
categories of paralinguistic units the work considers two. They are single
sounds or sequences of sounds that do not belong to the natural language
but which in a specific act of communication can acquire meaning. Besides,
authors consider linguocultural emotional complexes and some instrumental
sounds that accompany certain actions, often together with their linguistic
designations.
It is shown that paralinguistic replicas in a dialogue have two or more
functions: they serve to convey information and are also a means of maintaining
dialog, i.e. a marker of phatic communication. The article describes the behavior
of many paralinguistic units in dialogues of various types, the semantics of
those units as well as their functions in initial and response replicas. The paper
sets some important theoretical and practical tasks related to paraa linguistic
units of the Russian language. It is argued that without solving those issues, it
is difficult to build a good dictionary of Russian paralanguage units.

Authors:   European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Johnson Julia , Drawbell Amy , Bottex Bernard , Gkrintzali Georgia
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In 2024, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) organised two crisis preparedness sessions. The internal crisis workshop focused on EFSA's preparedness to respond under the Serious Cross‐Border Threats to Health (SCBTH) Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 and especially the requirement for a Joint Risk Assessment (JRA) with other EU agencies. EFSA's crisis training contractor, Instinctif Partners, developed the internal workshop for EFSA's Senior Management Team to increase awareness of the implications, roles and responsibilities in a JRA, as well as identifying required amendments for EFSA's internal crisis response procedures and the draft Interagency Working Arrangement under article 20 of the SCBTH Regulation. The workshop was mainly discussion‐based, with a series of exercises focusing on identifying areas for process amendment, following three context‐setting presentations. The external crisis exercise was co‐developed by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), EFSA and Instinctif Partners to rehearse a multi‐agency, multi‐Member State response under the SCBTH regulation. Lasting 2.5‐days, the preparedness training event comprised an overview of the Regulation on SCBTH, a role‐played, 1.5‐day simulation exercise and a half‐day debrief session. The event was held in person at the Convention Centre, Dublin, and also involved multiple participants joining online. In addition to rehearsing the development of a multi‐agency JRA in response to a SCBTH, the training also aimed to clarify Member States’ interaction during such a response. The objectives of both events were achieved, based on recorded outcomes and feedback provided by participants in evaluation surveys. This Annual Report summarises the external crisis exercise and provides a detailed overview of the development, running, and outcomes of the internal workshop, along with the participants’ feedback.

In the study, Ca and Mg accumulation was determined to be higher in thistle, K in echinacea, and Na in calendula.
Pecha, a language practice peer: Guiding language learning interactions through large language models
Authors: Lege Ryan , Bonner Euan , Aikawa Takako
Published: December 2024

The interaction hypothesis of second language acquisition (Long, 1981) states that negotiated interaction is necessary for language development. In many language learning contexts, educators and stakeholders seek to provide opportunities for learners to engage in meaningful real-life interactions that help them build linguistic, semantic, and rhetorical competence. However, the opportunities provided for interaction can vary in their degree of effectiveness and may only sometimes lead to increased language ability. If these interactions are scaffolded correctly, they can be tuned to maximize their benefits (Loewen & Sato, 2018). Unfortunately, this is not always practical from a temporal and economic perspective. Artificial intelligence (AI) could be the solution for providing learners with individualized, comprehensive assistance during their learning interactions. Accordingly, the authors developed a bespoke application that employs advanced natural language processing and large language model AI technologies to support learner interactions. The application was developed to support students in two different contexts: Kanda University of International Studies in Japan, where students study English, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, where learners study Japanese. The rationale for creating the application and selecting its major features is discussed. This is followed by a discussion of how the application functions and how it will be used.  The authors will then discuss their plans for implementation into both informal and formal learning contexts at the two universities.

Published: December 2024

The increasing cases and treatment costs have triggered the search for alternatives, such as Andaliman, which is believed to have antidiabetic and antioxidant activities, induced by Streptozotocin (STZ). Objective: to determine the effectiveness of Andaliman nanoemulsion extract in lowering blood sugar levels, overcoming insulin resistance as measured by HOMA-IR, in white mice induced by Streptozotocin (STZ). The study employed a posttest only controlled group design, using sic groups of mice, each of which had five mice weighing 150–260 grams in STZ induction (65 mg/kg), the positive control group used STZ + Metformin, the treatment group used a dose of Nanoandaliman of 25.50 & 75 mg/KgBB. KGD examination was carried out after 7.14 and 21 days after STZ induction. Results: Based on the lowest KGD measurement on day 21 in the STZ65mg/kgBB + NA50 mg/kgBB treatment group, in the HOMA-IR measurement, the highest value was found in the negative control (STZ 65mg/kgBB) on day 21. This indicates that the decrease in blood glucose levels with STZ65mg/kgBB + NA50 mg/kgBB treatment is better than other treatments on day 21. Conclusion: STZ65mg/kgBB + NA50 mg/kgBB treatment has been proven to be effective in lowering blood sugar levels. It is expected that the results of this study can become an alternative treatment for diabetes in the future

As reflexões que integram o livro “Práxis decoloniais e justiça social: pensando formas outras de pesquisar e ensinar linguagens” são fruto das discussões e das ações de um grupo de pesquisadoras-professoras-militantes que fazem parte do Grupo de Pesquisa Formação de Professores, Linguagens e Justiça Social (Profjus) e convidadas. A obra se organiza em duas partes. Na primeira, de cunho teórico-analítico, denunciam-se diferentes formas de violência, de injustiças sociais e de colonialismos. Na segunda, são apresentadas práxis insurgentes, que buscam responder de forma crítica e combativa à manutenção da colonialidade nos dias atuais. O grupo teve início em 2016 e, desde então, oportuniza semanalmente discussões de natureza teórica e o alinhamento das teorizações às experiências, que culminam no desejo comum entre os participantes: educar para a justiça social.

Tomadas pelo sentimento de esperança, de esperançar, como nos ensina Paulo Freire, desejamos que o livro, feito a muitas mãos, lenta e solidamente, contribua para a construção de um mundo mais justo.

Status and Enlightenment of Social Capitals' Participation in the Comprehensive Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation at The Free Trade Port of Hainan
Authors: Li Jian , Tang Na , Huang Pengcheng
Published: December 2024

Implementing pilot projects for comprehensive land consolidation and rehabilitation is a major initiative to follow The Thought on Ecological Civilization and the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on Zhejiang's "Thousands of Village Demonstration and myriad of Villages Remediation" program. It is also a key project to support the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and facilitate the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. From the current situation, land consolidation mainly relies on government-allocated special funds and bank loan. Against the backdrop of deepening reforms of investing and financing and land comprehensive consolidation encompassing all regions and factors, the contradiction between insufficient capital from government-allocated funds and increasing tasks of land comprehensive consolidation has become increasingly prominent. Bank credit funding tends to give rise to the hidden debt of government, leading it urgent to expand and improve diversified funding mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of the effort for land comprehensive consolidation. This article is based on the status of comprehensive land consolidation in Hainan Free Trade Port, combined with the background of rural revitalization and urban-rural integrated development. It summarizes the modes of social capital participation in comprehensive land consolidation, analyzes the existing difficulties, and proposes corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
A Comparative Study "Translatability of English Military Terms into Arabic Language by Translators with Military Backgrounds and Civilian Translators"
Authors: Alharahsheh Abdallah Mohammad Mufadi
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the translatability of English military terms into Arabic and evaluates the ability of Arab translators to perform such translations. The study compares translations produced by civilian translators and those with military backgrounds, focusing on texts from various military services, including the Land Forces, Presidential Guard, Navy, and Air Force. Using validated texts approved by American military experts and their Arab clients, the research assesses the accuracy, consistency, and contextual appropriateness of translations through both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The findings reveal significant differences in translation quality between the two groups. Translators with military backgrounds demonstrated superior understanding and accuracy in translating military terminology, while civilian translators often struggled with technical aspects, resulting in less precise translations. The study highlights the complexity of military texts and the challenges of finding appropriate Arabic equivalents, noting inconsistencies in civilian translations that could lead to operational misunderstandings. The paper concludes with recommendations to enhance civilian translators' proficiency in military translation. These include establishing specialized training programs, encouraging collaboration between civilian and military translators, and developing comprehensive military dictionaries and glossaries in Arabic. This paper provides valuable insights into the importance of understanding military terms and expressions and highlights the need for targeted efforts to bridge the gap between civilian and military translators.

The Relief of Nociceptive Pain Induced by Panitumumab Could be Sustainable during Chemotherapy

Published: December 2024

Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which are molecular-targeted drugs used in cancer treatment, are suspected to have analgesic effects on cancer-related pain. The relieving effect of EGFR inhibitors on neuropathic pain has been described to persist for approximately 20 days in patients with colorectal cancer. Since the administration of panitumumab, ananti-EGFR antibody, is repeated every 14 days, its relieving effect on cancer-related pain should be maintained until the next administration. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the chronological changes in symptoms before and two and 14 days after administration. A retrospective study using electrical patient charts demonstrated that the analgesic effects of panitumumab sustained in 8 out of ten patients with colorectal cancer (80%) until the start of next cycle of chemotherapy. The relief of nociceptive pain can be maintained in most of the patients during chemotherapy by repeated use of this agent, once pain relief has been achieved.
Metaphysical Grounding and Being’s Incompleteness
Authors: Fritzman J.M.
Published: December 2024

In order to argue that Being is incomplete, this article engages recent views which regard metaphysical grounding as a form of ontological dependence. In contrast to foundational versions of grounding, it argues that grounding is ubiquitous, multidirectional, and multilevel. Each thing partially grounds, generates, and constitutes every other thing. Grounding is never full. Since grounding is always partial, a thing is never fully real. This is a condition of possibility of its reality. If it were to be fully grounded, per impossible, it would be incapable of further development or change. It would be wholly static and frozen. This is true for each thing and for the universe itself. The monistic One is never fully one and reality is never completely real. This ontology is gunky, junky, and hunky: everything partly grounds and is grounded by everything else, so that everything has parts and also is a constituent in a greater whole. Whereas the Indian philosopher Nāgārjuna would assert that this means everything is empty and unreal, everything is partially real. However, things are never fully real because they are never fully grounded.
Sitting at the Kantian Table of Nothingness
Authors: Simionato Marco
Published: December 2024

This article appeals to the table of nothingness (Nichts) occurring within Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason [1781; 1787] (1998) to assess three recent accounts of nothingness – (Priest 2014), (Costantini 2020), and (Casati & Fujikawa 2019) - under the light of folk  preconceptions about nothingness. After defining the two strongest preconceptions as the absence of unrestrictedly everything (nihil absolutum) and the idea of nothingness as a self-contradictory item (nihil negativum), I argue that both might be read as two Aristotelian ‘connected homonyms’, rather than conflating them into a single item (as Priest’s and Casati & Fujikawa’s accounts seem to do), or dropping the idea of the nihil absolutum, as Costantini’s account does
