Authors: Ay Kaya Elif , Avara Hayriye
Published: November 2024

The primary purpose of the present study is to ascertain high school students' perceptions of the efficacy of blended learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes based on the Education Informatics Network (EIN) which is used as a learning management system in Turkish K-12 schools. The sample of the study was composed of 122 EFL students studying at a state high school. The study was designed with a convergent research design, one of the mixed-methods research designs. Quantitative findings showed that students' general views on EIN-based blended learning were neutral, yet positive about face-to-face lessons. The obtained qualitative findings mostly converged with the quantitative data results, and they clarified that students had both positive and negative opinions about the impact of blended learning on the development of language skills, assessment, learner autonomy, and classroom atmosphere. Furthermore, interview findings indicated that students expected the EIN portal to be free of technical problems, easily accessible and to include more enjoyable and various activities for a better implementation of the EIN-based blended learning. Lastly, several suggestions for further research were put forward as well as some educational implications for teaching EFL in an EIN-based blended learning environment.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to adapt to Turkish the "Scale for the assessment of non-experts: AI literacy" developed by Laupichler et al. (2023a). The scale consists of 31 items with three sub-dimensions: technical understanding, critical thinking, and practical applications. The data required for the validity and reliability study of the scale were collected from 642 undergraduate and graduate students studying in different departments of a state university in the fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. First, CFA was applied to the data according to the factor structure in the original scale, but as acceptable fit values could not be obtained because of the analysis, exploratory factor analysis was performed. In the reliability analysis of the factor structure determined by EFA, KMO was calculated as =0.948. It was determined that the scale items were collected in three factors and explained 61.1% of the total variance ("critical thinking" is 25.8%, "technical knowledge" is 25.2%, and "practical applications" explains 10.2% of the total variance). As a result of EFA, it was seen that the sub-dimensions of some of the items in the original scale had changed, and since the factor load values of the three items were very close to each other, they were removed from the scale. Because of CFA, which was conducted to evaluate whether the data supported the hypothesized relationships between the measured variables, Cronbach’s alpha value was found to be 0.90. As a result of the CFA analysis conducted with the 3 sub-dimensions and 28 items in the scale, the Chi-square value (X²=2.85; df=345, N=317, p< .001), which is the fit index of the model, has a good fit and is significant, SRMR = 0.0545and RMSEA = 0.077 values and fit indices and the model has an acceptable fit.

Authors: Kim Jiwon , Yoon Sunyung , Kang Seungtae , Kim Ho Bang , Boo Kyung-Hwan
Published: November 2024

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Cg), Pestalotiopsis sp. (Ps), Fusarium oxysporum (Fo), and Fusarium proliferatum (Fp) are pathogens that cause various diseases of Cymbidium kanran. Species identification based on the morphological characteristics of pathogen-infected orchids is very complex and difficult; therefore, specific and reliable diagnostic methods are needed. Here, we developed a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for simultaneous detection of Cg, Ps, Fo, and Fp. Four pairs of pathogen-specific primers were designed based on the internal transcribed spacer sequences of each pathogen, generating fragments of 480, 407, 321, and 279 bp, respectively. The multiplex PCR assay using these four pairs of mixed primers effectively detected the four pathogens simultaneously, with a sensitivity of 0.1 ng genomic DNA/pathogen. Application of the optimized multiplex PCR assay to symptomatic C. kanran leaf samples effectively detected single or multiple pathogens. These results indicate that the multiplex PCR developed in this study is not only a rapid and reliable method for detecting four problematic pathogens in C. kanran, but also serves as a very useful tool for early diagnosis.

Published: November 2024

Endophytic bacteria residing within plant seeds are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance plant growth and provide biocontrol against pathogens. Despite this, seed-borne endophytes remain underexplored in many crops, including tomato. In this study, we isolated and characterized bacterial endophytes from tomato seeds and evaluated their plant growth-promoting traits and antifungal activities. The taxonomic analysis of the Hawaii 7996 tomato seed endophyte collection revealed a diverse community, predominantly from the phylum Bacillota, with Paenibacillaceae and Bacillaceae as the most abundant families. Among the 35 unique strains identified, 19 produced indole-3-acetic acid, four exhibited siderophore production, and 12 could solubilize phosphate. These traits contribute to growth promotion and disease suppression in plants. In the plant growth promotion assay, several bacterial strains, notably Streptomyces olivaceus (BHM1), Streptomyces variegatus (BHM3), Bacillus stercoris (BHR2), and Moraxella osloensis (YHT4-1), demonstrated significant potential for tomato cultivation by positively affecting fresh weight, stem length, and root length. These strains consistently promoted growth across all three parameters evaluated in this study. Furthermore, several strains exhibited strong antifungal activity against major tomato pathogens, including Fusarium oxysporum race 1 and 2, and Botrytis cinerea. Notably, Bacillus subtilis (BHN1), Bacillus stercoris (BHR2), and Paenibacillus peoriae (YHR2-1) showed broad-spectrum antifungal efficacy. Our findings highlight the potential of seed-associated endophytic bacteria as growth promoters and biological control agents, offering promising avenues for sustainable agricultural practices.

Authors: Shim Sangrea , Kang In-Jeong , You Hee Jin , Kim Hangil , Lee Sungwoo
Published: November 2024

Phytophthora root and stem rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae, considerably reduces soybean yield worldwide. Our previous study identified two genomic regions on chromosome 18 (2.1-2.6 and 53.1-53.3 Mbp) that confer resistance to the P. sojae isolate 2457, through linkage analysis using progenies derived from the Daepung × Socheong2 population. These two regions contained 51 and 19 annotated genes, respectively. However, the specific gene responsible for resistance to P. sojae isolate 2457 has yet to be identified. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of Socheong2 and Daepung, two Korean soybean varieties identified as resistant and susceptible to P. sojae isolate 2457, respectively. RNA sequencing was conducted on tissue samples collected at 0, 6, and 12 hours after inoculation (HAI), and significant differences in the expression of defense-related genes were observed across time points and between the two cultivars. Genes associated with the jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, ethylene, and systemic acquired resistance pathways were upregulated in both cultivars at 6 and 12 HAI compared to 0 HAI, with these biological processes were more strongly upregulated in Socheong2 compared to Daepung at 6 and 12 HAI. A comparison of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and candidate genes within the previously identified QTL regions revealed an ortholog of the HS1 PRO-1 2 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana among the upregulated DEGs in Socheong2, particularly at 12 HAI compared to 0 HAI. This study will aid in targeted breeding efforts to develop soybean varieties with improved resistance to P. sojae.

Published: November 2024

Listening is an important channel for language input, and for college students, good English listening comprehension skills play a critical role in language acquisition. Due to individual differences, learners exhibit varying preferences in their listening-learning process. However, most previous research has focused on native and non-native English speakers, leaving a gap in research on Chinese native speakers. Additionally, most studies are comparative research on learning preferences, with few focusing on a single learning preference. Therefore, this study explores the positive effects of auditory learning preferences on Chinese native college students. Through a series of data collection, organization, and analysis, this study finds that auditory learning style is universal among college students. It can be seen from the survey data that although visual learning style is more common, more than 40% of students are still inclined to conduct auditory learning through lecture interviews or group discussion.In conclusion, students with auditory learning preferences tend to engage more in interactive learning. Furthermore, many students with auditory learning preferences also incorporate visual learning strategies to practice listening comprehension skills.

Authors: Cai Peishan , Zhou Yan
Published: November 2024

With the rapid development of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision technology, the technology of artificial intelligence creative generation (AIGC) has achieved automated conversion from text to video. However, it is still uncertain whether these technologies can provide a deeper understanding of the concept images in Chinese poetries while the videos are generated more efficiently and conveniently. This study analyzes 9 AlGC software based on 8 evaluation dimensions, involving the representative domestic software Aibrm and PIKA with high popularity from aboard. The authors designed a questionnaire survey of the matching rate between poem videos generated by AICG and poem concept images, in terms of Chinese teachers. Also, researchers explore the concretization of abstract concepts in AlGC software. The research found that there are differences in the understanding of concept images of Chinese poetries by different AIGC tools. More than 50% of respondents prefer poetry videos generated by Aibrm, but some believe that both videos do not match poetic concept images. This is mainly due to stiff roles and contexts, insufficient integration, lack of video coherence, and insufficient emotional communication. Despite the development of the AICG, the understanding of poetic concept images should be identified well and improved more. The application of the Chinese poem concept, emotional expression, and cultural integration still requires continuous exploration.

On Tao Yuanming's Life Choices from the Perspective of Heidegger
Authors: Cheng Xishu
Published: November 2024

Tao Yuanming was a man of letters and a refined scholar during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. His life took several turns, throughout which he held an official position, resigned from it, and finally lived in reclusion. Reality shaped Tao Yuanming's choices. His spiritual journey unfolded accordingly in stages, each decision reflecting deeper insights. As his thoughts on life evolved, so did the complexity of interpreting his actions. These shifts invite ongoing debate, revealing the multifaceted nature of Tao's philosophical growth. Fortunately, the pursuit of authenticity bound two minds across time. Tao Yuanming's choices, once puzzling, now resonate with Heidegger's insights. This unexpected link illuminates both thinkers' quests, offering a fresh lens to view Tao's life and decisions. In light of this, it is feasible to apply an interdisciplinary methodology to the analysis of Tao Yuanming's life choices. First, this essay will sort out the existential structure in Heidegger's philosophy by presenting the mood of beings through three links: care, anxiety, and death. Following that, a justification for its relevance in assessing Tao Yuanming's life situation will be provided. Next, in order to depict Tao Yuanming's real life in detail, this essay will integrate historical records with the author's literal creations and note down each choice made by the poet among a variety of life situations. Again, the previously indicated existential structure will be utilized to clarify the internal mechanism behind this association between the poet's choices and life situation. Finally, it can be concluded that Tao Yuanming's choices are a reflection of his continual exploration of the authentic meaning of life.

As an important part of the global security system, the Middle East has endless security and development issues, especially the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has further increased the security risks in the Middle East. BRI is China's solution as a rising power to strengthen world peace, cooperation and common development. Abiding to the golden rules of consultation, contribution and shared benefits, BRI has opened up a new cooperation path for the Middle East that truly adheres to peace, prosperity, civilization, green, openness and innovative development, thereby promoting the achievement of peace, stability and security development in the Middle East. This article adopts a model that combines theory and practice, starting from moral realism, to analyze the Chinese government's understanding of the world and the policies it has adopted in the Middle East; and taking the BRI as a construction path, to explore possible paths for peaceful and stable development in the Middle East.

Authors: Yan Shenyu
Published: November 2024

This paper comprehensively explores the written trajectory of the Hong Kong region from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, with a particular focus on the status and usage of traditional Chinese characters across different historical stages. The author reviews Hong Kongs history, analyzing the changes in language policy and its impact on character usage. The application of the Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism policy in Hong Kong is discussed, along with an in-depth examination of the phenomenon of multilingual coexistence in Hong Kong society and its cultural significance. As an important region using traditional Chinese characters within the Chinese cultural sphere, Hong Kong has developed a unique phenomenon of written culture. With the continuous development of globalization and advancements in digital technology, the cultural inheritance and influence of traditional Chinese characters among the global Chinese community may further expand. However, traditional Chinese characters face challenges from simplified characters and other languages, particularly in the fields of education and technology. The author believes that the future development of traditional Chinese characters will rely on the support of cultural policies, the promotion of educational systems, and the new generations recognition and inheritance of traditional culture. The aesthetic value and cultural symbolism of traditional Chinese characters will continue to play a key role in the context of globalization, injecting new vitality into the cultural inheritance of Hong Kong and other Chinese-speaking regions.

With the development of new technology, augmented reality (AR) technology is revolutionizing the educational landscape, particularly in geometry. This innovative approach deepens their comprehension of geometric principles and stimulates their motivation to learn. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to ARs application in the educational field, especially the topic of geometry, and evaluate its effectiveness in improving users in two aspects: motivation and academic results. The study applies the Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) Model to assess the impact of AR in education compared to traditional teaching. It finds that AR boosts student motivation, especially for those with lower academic performance. While AR enhances learning experiences, its effect on improving grades is not immediate. The method that is mainly utilized in this study is reviewing the literature, summarizing, and analyzing critical information from them. And it turns out that short-term grade improvements are not significantly observable, AR technology offers long-term benefits by enhancing engagement and conceptual comprehension through interactive and spatial visualizations.

Analysis of Players Table Tennis Skills and Strategies--Taking Ma Long as an Example
Authors: Zhu Yuyang
Published: November 2024

China has recently been the winner in a world table tennis competition. Since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China has consistently secured the first or second prize. Ma Long, for example, won two Olympic championships in 2016 and 2020. He is considered the most representative player in the history of table tennis and has significantly influenced the sport's development. Taking Ma Long as an example, this paper studies his table tennis skills and strategies based on his recent match against Lin Gaoyuan in the World Cup final. This research mainly focuses on identifying the techniques Ma Long employed in various situations and how he managed to win after losing the first three games. The results show that (1) Ma Long utilizes a variety of serving and hitting techniques when falling behind. For instance, after losing the first three games, he switched to using his backhand serve, a technique rarely used in his previous matches. (2) Due to age and early deficits, Ma Long did not aggressively attack with his forehand as he did when he was younger. Instead, he capitalized on his opponent's errors. The opponent would become increasingly flustered and continue making mistakes. (3) Ma Long is adept at observing his opponents. He used backhand flicks and reverse rotations when serving, as seen in his semifinal match against Wang Chuqin. He also varied his opponent's positions to create more opportunities, avoiding prolonged exchanges due to age and injuries. Ma Long is a player with diverse skills to handle different opponents. This paper may offer some references in tactics and effective strategies for other athletes when falling behind.
