Empowering Malaysian early childhood practitioners’ sustainable inclusive practices through the ‘integrating and navigating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics’ (inSTEAM) framework
Authors: Ng Andrea
Published: November 2024

This study investigate the Malaysian early childhood practitioners’ science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) integrating understanding and practices. Several research studies continuously report that the learners’ interest and motivation in STEAM are declining worldwide, and this reflects the current reality of the shortage of STEAM leaders and experts in the workforce. One of the primary purposes of STEAM learning in the classroom is to enhance the learning process and outcomes to prepare young children for a future STEAM-focused career. A qualitative approach of semi-structured interviews and classroom observations was employed to deeply understand the participants’ practices on Malaysian early childhood STEAM integration. This study adopted the ground-up approach of the constructivist paradigm. This study interviewed 15 early childhood practitioners (including one center director) in several small groups from early childhood centers in the Metropolitan area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The findings showed how practitioners utilize their understanding and translate this into an integrated STEAM enactment. This study focused on practice-based inputs, where the practitioners also attempted to teach a makerspace lesson that focused on designing and constructing STEAM solutions. Using thematic analysis and coding of the practitioners’ inputs and discussions, five themes arose from the analysis of the interviews. ‘Character building STEAM educators’, ‘locus of control’, ‘risk-taking as part of STEAM learning’, ‘differentiating in STEAM lesson’ and ‘where interest-based learning fit in the local Malaysian curriculum’ were factors that impacted the participants’ drive and actions to integrate STEAM and makerspace. The findings informs other early childhood practitioners understanding and STEAM integration practices. Future study may include a continuous investigation to support early childhood practitioners to facilitate and deliver STEAM integration both inclusively and sustainably.
Future-Readiness and Islamic Education: Perspectives from Singapore
Authors: Tan Charlene , Hasman Puti N. Binte
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article explores the relation between future-readiness and Islamic education from the perspectives of Islamic learning centers in Singapore. The main research objective is to examine how the concept of future-readiness and related terms are interpreted, framed, and facilitated in Islamic textbooks. Based on a content analysis of the textbooks used at Islamic learning centers for primary students in Singapore, two research findings are reported. First, the Islamic textbooks interpret future-readiness as equipping Muslim learners with Islamic knowledge and values as well as application and learnercenteredness in the modern world. Second, the Islamic textbooks promote information and communications technology (ICT) as part of preparing students for future-readiness. A major implication from this study is that Islamic curricula evolve in tandem with changing times to support the development of future-ready students. In addition, the advancement of future-readiness is situated within an Islamic worldview that emphasizes religious beliefs and values. A significant limitation of this study is that its research method centered on an analysis of textbooks; hence, empirical research is recommended to corroborate the research findings and implications.

Authors: Muhammad Ashraf Faheem  , Muhammad Aslam  , Sridevi Kakolu
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the use of artificial intelligence in managing investment portfolios, emphasizing the performance of different machine learning techniques. Conventional approaches to portfolio optimization are, however, unable to handle large, multi-variate financial data sets and unstable market conditions, which makes them less useful in dynamic investment settings. Thus, this research aims to apply AI technologies to improve portfolio models' accuracy, risk management, and returns. We compare machine learning methods, such as Support Vector Machines, Random Forests, LSTM, and Reinforcement Learning, to analyze their effectiveness based on criteria such as Sharpe ratio, volatility, and annualized returns. The research suggests that AI models can enhance portfolio optimization results by a wide margin depending on the algorithm used and market conditions. These results highlight that AI can help revolutionize financial decisions, providing enhanced, flexible, and precise mechanisms for managing today’s portfolios.
Impact of regulatory policy changes on access to medicine in Nigeria, Africa
Authors: Juliet Obioma Adione
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the impact of regulatory policy changes on access to medicines in Nigeria, examining both the positive advancements and the challenges that have arisen. Recent reforms have accelerated access to innovative therapies through streamlined drug approval processes and improved pharmacovigilance measures, ensuring higher quality and safer medicines for the population. Furthermore, Nigeria's participation in regional initiatives like the African Medicines Agency (AMA) has fostered regulatory harmonization, improving cross-border medicine access across Africa. However, these regulatory changes have also placed financial burdens on local manufacturers, hindered by high compliance costs and registration fees. Additionally, intellectual property protections under TRIPS have delayed the availability of affordable generic medicines, increasing the country's reliance on imports. The paper highlights key recommendations for Nigeria to balance regulatory stringency with access to affordable medicines, including promoting local pharmaceutical manufacturing, refining intellectual property policies, and enhancing the capacity of regulatory agencies. Continuous reform and regional collaboration are essential to ensuring equitable access to medicines in Nigeria, supporting the nation's response to public health challenges, and fostering long-term improvements in healthcare outcomes.

Authors: Pravina Salve
Published: November 2024

Environmental pollution is a very serious issue around the world due to development of humankind towards well-being and modernization. It not only impacts health but also affects over all biodiversity. Sound does nothing till it is up to certain limit, as it creates pressure on the particles of the medium, when the limit of pressure is increased, it becomes nuisance. Sound pollution is the one important agent out of other factors that disrupts the living of humans and its ecosystem. It is related with physical, psychological or emotional states. Sound pollution adversely affects the humankind and animals leading to irritation, loss of concentration, and loss of hearing and abnormal behaviour of animals. The present work emphasizes the need to monitor and control the sound pollution in the developing cities to tackle the related future problems, to investigate the status and validity of ambient noise standards in the Indian situation, also to propose need of noise control based on the available knowledge on noise policies and regulations. The study is an approach towards importance of monitoring the sound pollution, its sources and its effects on the human activities or the ecosystem with respect to degrees of exposure in the newly developing urban localities with moderate commercial activities. The impact of sound pollution will increase if appropriate measures are not taken.

Published: November 2024

The field of manufacturing and production is rapidly changing because of the fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 and bridging theory and practice is a major requirement in industrial control and automation training, operations and virtual simulation is one such way to help bridge this kind of gap. One of such simulation program that has gained popularity among companies recently is Factory inputs and outputs (Factory I/O). This paper presents an example of a used case study of FACTORY I/O. The tank scene in the Factory I/O was used for level control and the control algorithm was implemented in the TIA portal using Siemens S7 1500 PLC integrated with the factory I/O to carry out the control of the liquid level in the tank by controlling the fill valve on the level control rig. The S7-PLCSIM TIA portal V15 communicated with the PLC in the Factory I/O drivers through an IP address. Therefore, with virtual simulation system, it is possible to test controller and control configuration before applying it to a physical system, with a methodology matching the fourth industrial revolution in a simulation environment in which theory and practice is bridged for real-time simulations.
The use of Lean management to optimize business processes in the enterprise
Authors: Vetoshko Evgenii
Published: November 2024

The article examines the problems of using Lean management, which is significant in fierce competition, economic challenges, and shocks. Industrial enterprises are forced to look for effective methods of optimizing production. Traditional approaches that rely on reducing staff or increasing the load on equipment demonstrate their inconsistency in the long term. Within the framework of the conceptual provisions of lean management, a fundamentally different view is proposed on improving the efficiency of business processes through systematic detection and elimination of losses. There are contradictions among scientists between the theoretical models of integration of the considered tools and the practical results of their application. There are serious disagreements about the universality of the methods and the possibility of their adaptation to specific business conditions. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to systematize the existing ideas, taking into account the existing differences in views and judgments. As a result, it was found that the successful implementation of Lean management requires consistency: not only technical aspects are fundamental, but also the transformation of corporate culture. Based on the characteristics of advantages and limitations, the determining success factors are identified: management involvement, gradual change in production culture, and continuous staff training. The materials of the article are of practical value for company executives, production optimization specialists, and consultants.

Adolescents' widespread use of social media has become a serious public health issue, especially considering its effects on substance abuse and mental health. The aim of this review is to examine the complex relationship between the use of social media, mental health issues, and the rise in substance abuse among teenagers. An overview of social media engagement trends is given at the start, emphasising that teenagers are among the most frequent users and that platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat are essential to their social lives. According to recent studies, high social media use has been linked to a rise in mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. The prevalent behaviours of social comparison, cyberbullying, and validation-seeking in online interactions exacerbate mental health challenges. The review also explored the patterns of substance abuse among adolescents, with particular attention to the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal narcotics. Peer pressure, family dynamics, early substance exposure, and other factors have been identified as contributing factors to substance misuse. A critical analysis is conducted on the function that social media plays in normalising substance use, since media portrayals of substance use can glamourise these behaviours and make them seem socially acceptable to impressionable teens. The ways in which peer pressure and heightened stress are two of the methods through which social media impact substance abuse are examined, offering a thorough grasp of the difficulties that young people today face. The urgent need for multifaceted interventions that address social media use and mental health education is emphasised in the review's conclusion. Along with programs to promote digital literacy and ethical social media usage, recommendations are made for parents, schools, and policymakers to reduce the risks associated with social media use. The results highlight the need for additional investigation into the complex interactions among social media, mental health, and substance addiction and support cooperative endeavours aimed at safeguarding and enabling young people in the digital age.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: The social restrictions that countries imposed to contain COVID-19 generated challenges in all areas of human development, including higher education. University institutions had to adapt abruptly to the new pedagogical demands, resorting obligatorily to the use of the virtual modality in all their academic offerings. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the virtual modality in the academic and professional training of students of Medical Sciences, in order to identify its advantages, disadvantages and potentialities in the current educational context. Methodology: A systematic review was carried out to analyze virtual health education, using databases such as REDALYC, SCOPUS, DIALNET and SCIELO. Relevant articles were identified and grouped, excluding those that did not focus on virtual education related to health careers. Several search terms were analyzed and multiple articles were obtained in each database. Results: Although there is uncertainty in the formative quality of students of health careers due to the eminently practical condition of the knowledge imparted, it is evident that telematic education has overcome acceptably the obstacles posed from the dogmatic criterion, so it should be recognized for its support to the continuity of teaching and learning processes. Conclusions: The university community is obliged to encourage the development of the virtual modality and its application for the benefit of strengthening the professions related to health.
”Kieli oli tässä kohtaa vain väline” – kulttuuritulkkien, opettajien ja kuraattoreiden näkemyksiä kielestä ja kulttuuritulkkien roolista

Published: November 2024

Alongside public service interpreting consisting of language interpretation, many institutions, including institutions of learning, increasingly use intercultural mediators to communicate with migrants. Drawing on the research tradition of sociology of translation, we analyze our data from two perspectives, mobilizing the sociological concepts of role, agency, and (affective) facework, as well as the linguistic anthropological concept of language ideology. The data consist of semi-structured thematic interviews with intercultural mediators and teachers and school social workers who work with them. The analysis shows that intercultural mediators’ affective labor, based on their broad agency, is fundamental in building trust between migrant families and the school. Intercultural mediation is different from public service interpreting, where monolithic, referential language ideologies are often felt to prevent the achievement of mutual understanding between the participants.

Authors: Kosonen Hanna , Intke-Hernández Minna
Published: November 2024

This article examines university students’ experiences with the embodied and spatial aspects of language learning and use, along with the concept of language ownership. Bridging sociolinguistics, cognitive science, and the phenomenology of embodiment, the study is based on 11 thematic interviews with students who have taken at least one language course at a Finnish university language center. Our data illustrates how language users describe their bodily and spatial language experiences. We also demonstrate that language ownership, akin to grounded cognition, exists at the intersection of sensory perception, the external body as the object of perception, and the material and social environment. This research enriches the discussion on language learning environments and practices in higher education, while providing an interdisciplinary perspective on sociolinguistic concepts.

A Study on the Development of Autonomous Mobile Environmental Sensors and Livestock Behavior Analysis for Situation Awareness in Smart Barns
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Kim Suk-Hun , Kim Nam-Ho
Published: November 2024

This study aims to develop a system that predicts the health status of cattle based on behavior patterns and environmental data within a smart barn using an autonomous driving system. Maintaining a unique ID for each cow using only a camera, without external devices (such as RFID tags), is essential. This enables the tracking of behavior patterns such as standing, sitting, and lying for each cow over time. Additionally, environmental data such as temperature and humidity are integrated to comprehensively assess the cows' health conditions. To achieve this, we propose a unique ID retention algorithm that combines object detection using YOLO, tracking with Deep SORT, and re-identification (ReID). Experimental results show that the YOLO + Deep SORT + ReID algorithm delivers the best performance in maintaining unique IDs, and the LSTM-based behavior analysis model demonstrates high accuracy in predicting behavior patterns. This system can serve as an effective tool for real-time prediction of livestock health conditions, such as disease or stress, through comprehensive analysis of environmental data and behavior patterns inside the barn.

Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Jo Hae Won , Jo Ha Young , Lee Cheong Eun , Kim Man-Je
Published: November 2024

The rapid expansion of unmanned retail stores has raised critical security concerns, thereby necessitating the development and implementation of robust protective measures. The absence of real-time monitoring systems in these environments has heightened the vulnerability to risks such as theft and property damage. Although closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems have been deployed to retrospectively investigate criminal activities, these systems are often insufficient in preventing incidents. This study introduces a Transformer-based intelligent CCTV system designed for the real-time detection of anomalous behaviors within unmanned retail environments. Unlike conventional systems that rely on basic machine learning models, our proposed system leverages human joint position data extracted from CCTV footage to classify a range of anomalous behaviors, including theft, falls, and property damage. Additionally, extensive hyperparameter optimization was performed to maximize the model's effectiveness in these specific environments. Our System enhances the system's usability by enabling real-time identification of anomalous behavior, complete with location data, timestamps, and corresponding video frame sequences.
