Published: February 2025

O estudo de crenças e expectativas no processo de ensino - aprendizagem tem ganhado espaço no contexto da psicologia educacional, já que ele agrega valores que influenciam tanto para o sucesso quanto para fracasso escolar. Existem vários tipos de crenças, mas neste estudo destacou-se as crenças de autoconceito, autoeficácia e expectativas na aprendizagem. As crenças podem ser percebidas como a natureza e visão da capacidade pessoal em realizar ou manifestar comportamentos exigidos para o alcance de objectivos e são determinantes para motivação para a aprendizagem. O objectivo principal do estudo é compreender o impacto das crenças e expectativas no processo da aprendizagem dos estudantes, e para isto, recorreu –se à metodologia qualitativa, com aplicação das entrevistas semiestruturadas como técnicas de recolha de dados na Escola Secundária de Nampula. De referir que 12 estudantes participaram no estudo, e os seus depoimentos foram sujeitos a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que as crenças percebidas pelos estudantes na aprendizagem de química são de autoeficácia e autoconceito. As expectativas de aprendizagem nesta disciplina são de autoeficácia, isto é, já no início da implementação do plano analítico, os estudantes acreditam mais no fracasso do que no sucesso. Encontrou-se a relação entre crenças e expectativas, ou seja, estudantes com crenças de autoeficácia em alta, apresentam bom rendimento académico. Quanto maior for a escala de crenças de autoconceito e autoeficácia, maiores são as probabilidades de esforço e motivação para aprendizagem. As expectativas de sucesso estão intimamente ligadas ao constructo da autoeficácia.

The Humanities and Peer Led Team Learning: Refreshing Freshman Composition Classes
Authors: Hendrickson Kenneth E. , de Castro John , Krienke Douglas , Fair Frank , Botero Maria , Kerr William
Published: February 2025

Freshman Composition is the name given to English classes that typically are taken by first-year university students. The aim of the courses is to enhance students’ writing abilities, but some studies have suggested that the classes, as traditionally conducted, have little impact. So, to improve learning outcomes at Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas, over a three-year period (2012-2014) several traditional sections of Freshman Composition were modified by pursuing an approach that combined three elements: (1) the use of whole original texts, (2) a focus on ethical issues raised by those texts, and (3) discussions of those issues in a Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) format. Even though less time was devoted to formal writing instruction, the students in the PLTL modified courses displayed improved writing skills in each of three fall semesters compared to students in traditional courses. These results suggest that a relatively simple and inexpensive pedagogical innovation can significantly improve Freshman Composition writing outcomes.

Published: February 2025

This paper presents the research results on some characteristics of the metal-organic framework material MIL-101(Cr) and its ability to remove nitrate from aqueous environments based on photocatalytic reactions. This material was synthesized using the hydrothermal method in the laboratory. Techniques such as FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and BET were employed, demonstrating that the porous structure of the material is highly developed, with a specific surface area of up to 3017 m²/g and characteristic octahedral crystal size ranging from approximately 100 to 300 nm. Experimental results show that under UV light conditions at a wavelength of 365 nm and a power of 250 W, the MOF MIL-101(Cr) can catalyze nitrate removal under UV light, achieving a maximum removal efficiency of up to 99% after 180 minutes of reaction. The nitrate removal efficiency of MIL-101 is significantly improved, and reaches nearly 100% within a reaction time of 40 minutes when formic acid (HCOOH 46 mM) is used as a hole scavenger.

TMDC materials like MoS2 and WS2 are well known for their unique monolayer properties, ideal for optoelectronic applications. Stacking these monolayers enhances the properties beneficial for light detection and harvesting devices. This study investigates the dielectric function and critical point (CP) energies of heterostructure MoS2/WS2 using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) within the spectral range of 1.5 to 6.0 eV at different angles. The SE method, employing the Tauc-Lorentz model for detailed analysis, confirms the formation of high-quality TMDC heterostructure and provides precise values for intrinsic properties. These results are crucial for optimizing TMDC-based optoelectronic devices for military and commercial applications.

Authors: Dao Huy Assoc.Prof.Dr Du , Nguyen Thanh Tung  , Vu Ngoc Kien  , Ho Mau Viet  , Hoang Van Ta  , Trieu Viet Phuong
Published: February 2025

This paper studies model reduction methods (MOR) in simulation of large-scale electrical and electronic systems, in order to reduce computational costs and optimize performance while maintaining important physical properties. In particular, two new reduction algorithms, Mixed Balanced Truncation (MBT) and Mixed Riccati-Lyapunov Balanced Truncation (MRLBT), were developed to improve efficiency compared to Balanced Truncation (BT) and Positive True Balance Truncation (PRBT) methods. Both the MBT and MRLBT algorithms preserve the stability and passivity of the original system. The paper describes in detail the steps to implement the algorithms, compares their efficiency on the RLC power network, through simulations that conduct error analysis and simulate responses on the time and frequency domains. The results show that MBT achieves a balance between accuracy and computational cost, the deceleration error is between BT and PRBT, while MRLBT has the best performance and meets the deceleration requirements among the four algorithms considered.

Solution for suppressing viscoelastic creep in cylindrical dielectric elastomer actuator
Authors: Nguyen Tuan Dung , Tran Anh Vang
Published: February 2025

The cylindrical dielectric elastomer actuator (CDEA) is known as a self-prestretching structure of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). However, their inherent viscoelastic nonlinearity leads to nonlinear viscoelastic creep and hysteresis, which makes the modeling and control of CDEAs challenging and can affect their motion accuracy in practical applications. In this paper, the generalized KV-GM rheological model is employed to characterize the actuator's viscoelastic creep behavior, and an adjusted voltage signal is derived from maintaining a constant output stretch by making the input voltage time-dependent. Experimental results with the preprogrammed voltage demonstrate that the creep rate of the CDEA decreases from 27% to less than 9%. The proposed solution effectively minimizes energy dissipation caused by nonlinear viscoelastic properties, playing a significant role in promoting the practical application of CDEA.

Authors: Minh Tri Cao , Nguyen Khanh Son  , Nguyen Van Kiem  , Nguyen Truc Tra
Published: February 2025

Tracking a moving target in three-dimensional (3D) space using radar requires the processing system to consistently and accurately update the target's position with minimal delay. The Kalman filter, a powerful tool for target tracking, is utilized to estimate the target's state from noisy measurement data. This paper presents the results of evaluating the effectiveness of the Kalman filter in estimating the altitude and tracking 3D radar targets instead of 2D in existing research. The tests are performed on highly mobile moving target models (UAVs, fighter aircraft, etc.). The evaluation criteria include the accuracy of position and velocity estimation, as well as the computational efficiency of the 3D Kalman filter. Finally, a solution for applying the filter to level 2 processing computers in 3D radar systems is proposed.
Research on the fabrication of composite materials based on unsaturated polyester resin matrix and modified rice husk reinforcement
Authors: Le Minh Tri  , Truong Tung Khuong  , Pham Hong Thach
Published: February 2025

In this study, rice husks (RHs) were utilized as fillers to create a reinforcing phase during the fabrication of composites based on an unsaturated polyester (UPE) resin matrix. The aim was to maintain the mechanical properties of the materials at a certain level and partially replace the amount of thermosetting resin used, thereby reducing negative environmental impacts. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) were employed in the modification process of the RHs. The structure and morphology of the modified RHs were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Additionally, the mechanical properties of composite samples were evaluated according to international standards, such as ISO 527:2012, ISO 178:2019, ISO 604:2002, and ASTM D256. The results showed that the RHs sequentially modified by a NaOH solution and a MPS-dissolved mixture significantly improved the mechanical properties of the respective composites, compared to the composites with untreated RHs and RHs chemically modified by one solution. Specifically, compared to the reference samples formed by raw RHs, the best composite among ones with two-stage-treated RHs demonstrated flexural strength with an increase of 34.1% (reaching 45.1 MPa), compressive strength with a climb of 51.6% (reaching 33.8 MPa), tensile strength rising by 44.6% (at 34.3 MPa), and impact strength of 6.3 kJ/m² (18.9% higher). These results indicate that modified RHs can meet the research objectives and pave the way for further studies on RH-based composites.

Statistical Analysis of Health Risks Associated with Women's Participation in Night Shift Work
Authors:   Assistant Professor1  P.V.G’s College of Science & commerce, Pune1, Tarte Pranjal
Published: February 2025

Women's busy schedules are often a reflection of their multiple roles and responsibilities, balancing work, family, personal goals, and social commitments. Many women juggle demanding careers, household duties, caregiving responsibilities (for children, elderly parents, or others), and social activities. This can leave little time for themselves, leading to stress, exhaustion, and difficulty in maintaining a work-life balance.

Women who work night shifts have a higher chance of getting cancer, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and reproductive problems than women who work during standard working hours, according to epidemiological studies.

Women working night shifts face a unique set of challenges, both physical and emotional, that can affect their health, well-being, and work-life balance. The problems associated with night shifts are often more pronounced for women due to hormonal, family, and societal factors like

Sleep Disruption and Fatigue, Health Problems, Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being, Family and Caregiving Strain, Impact on Relationships, Nutritional and Eating Challenges, Safety and Risk of Accidents.

Influence of sociocultural factors on the reading habits and well-being of postgraduate students
Authors: Nwagwu Williams E. , Maxwell Francisca Uloaku
Published: February 2025

This study examines how personal reading preferences, abilities, and cultural influences shape the reading habits and well-being of postgraduate students in a Nigerian tertiary institution. Using a descriptive survey design, data was collected from 310 students through questionnaires. Findings reveal that personal preferences strongly influence reading format choices, with 50.3\% of respondents agreeing and 24.9\% strongly agreeing (mean = 3.85, SD = 0.99). In contrast, peer and societal pressures have a weaker influence (mean = 2.37 and 2.42, respectively). Students exhibit high proficiency in using both digital (mean = 3.86, SD = 0.90) and physical reading materials (mean = 3.91, SD = 0.88), but they face greater challenges with digital platforms (mean = 2.58, SD = 1.16) compared to physical materials (mean = 2.31, SD = 1.07). Environmental factors significantly impact reading choices (mean = 3.27, SD = 1.05), while cultural influences elicit mixed responses (mean = 2.86, SD = 1.11). Religion emerges as a strong motivator for reading habits (mean = 3.77, SD = 1.06). Regression analysis establishes a significant association between individual factors and reading habits and well-being (R = 0.465, p = 0.000). Key predictors include personal preference (β = 0.069, p = 0.001), physical reading due to upbringing (β = 0.070, p = 0.000), and belief in the benefits of digital platforms (β = 0.070, p = 0.001). Based on these insights, the study recommends that universities and libraries develop bibliotherapy programs that prioritize personal preferences and provide diverse reading materials. Acknowledging the limitation of self-reported data, future research could incorporate objective measures such as digital reading logs to enhance accuracy and depth.

On the Convergence Analysis of Bernstein Operators
Authors: Turan Buğatekin Ayşe
Published: February 2025

In recent years, many studies have been conducted to emphasize the convergence criteria of the q-Bernstein polynomial and their importance. A point often overlooked in the literature is that the kernels of these polynomials depend on the probabilities of the variable parameter binomial distribution. Taking advantage of this property, we develop a simplified form of this polynomial for the binomial variable with variable parameters. This approach not only simplifies the computational processes but also sheds light on the convergence properties of this polynomial. By examining this reduced form, an upper bound for convergence is determined. The findings highlight the versatility and power of the q-Bernstein polynomial in approximation theory and provide a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations and potential applications of the polynomial.
