Using AI for Students' Attitudes to Improve their Speaking Skills at a University
Authors: Hùng Cường Trần
Published: August 2024

Linguistic proficiency is one of the prerequisites for metacognition in the linguistic background of students majoring in English at the university level. However, most of them do not meet these curricular requirements because they lack an "environment that supports practice," and high technology is considered a "life jacket" for this problem. The aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes of university students towards the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI)-based websites and applications to promote the improvement of speaking skills. There are both positive aspects, such as increasing engagement, and potential drawbacks to the technology itself. In this paper, we argue that this kind of case study contributes to elucidating the situation of speaking training in higher education through the provision of qualitative information through a semi-structured questionnaire. One hundred and eighty-eight second-year English students participated in a six-week experiment with carefully crafted guidelines for the use of two AI-based websites (apps): Smalltalk2.me and VoiceTube.com. Afterward, a survey was administered to explore learners' perceptions and engagement during the period. Data analysis showed that students showed some preference for incorporating AI technology into their English-speaking exercises, but the current generation of AI apps also has some limitations. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of how students view English education through the integration of AI technology and its potential impact on their overall speaking skills. This knowledge can help educators integrate effective technological tools into speaking instruction to create a positive learning environment and promote speaking development.

Published: August 2024

The integration of IoT technology in wireless signal monitoring holds substantial potential for both military and civilian applications, including signal reconnaissance, anti-jamming, and device identification. Traditional modulation recognition methods, based on likelihood and feature extraction, face limitations in computational complexity and reliance on expert knowledge. In contrast, ML and DL models like Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) offer superior performance without manual feature extraction. We propose a MIMO neural network model for automatic modulation classification and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. The system, detailed through functional block diagrams, includes components such as antenna arrays, analog preprocessing units, radio signal receivers, digital signal processors, MIMO neural networks, data processors, and display units. This model simultaneously performs modulation classification and DOA estimation, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for real-time signal monitoring.

ARCHITECTURAL KNOWLEDGE: LACKING A KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM, THE PROFESSION REJECTS HEALING ENVIRONMENTS THAT PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Authors: A. Salingaros Nikos ,   Departments of Mathematics and Architecture, University of Texas at San Antonio,  San Antonio, USA
Published: August 2024

Results collected from outside the discipline coalesce into a knowledge system for architecture. Increasingly, this information does not come from the usual historical, philosophical and social sources, but instead from AI, biology, mathematics and neuroscience. This body of discovered and tested knowledge remains outside dominant architectural culture. Several distinct methods of data gathering necessary for adaptive design are reviewed here. Cumulative findings — from design patterns, eye tracking and visual attention scans, information compression via mathematical symmetries, physiological indicators, software trained on artificial intelligence, AI language models and user surveys — reinforce each other. They reveal that traditional architectural design concepts and methods generate a significantly healthier environment than what architectural practice offers. The analogy of an “expert system” is suggested as a means of incorporating the collected results into current practice. Curricular changes are needed to cover this material in schools, especially the understanding of architectural knowledge. Nevertheless, as any change threatens the architecture-industrial complex, this proposal faces strong resistance from both academia and the profession. Society must drastically revise architecture to promote human health and well-being directly.

Published: August 2024

Companies in the property and real estate sectors play a significant role in the economic growth of a country because they are among the sectors that contribute the most to investment realisation in Indonesia. A company's worth is a key indicator of its performance for businesses in the real estate and property industries. The purpose of this study is to determine how profitability and liquidity affect a company's value by using capital structure as an intervening variable. The study will focus on real estate and property sector businesses that are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange between 2013 and 2022. Purposive sampling is used in the study, and a sample of 14 samples from 43 property and real estate businesses are used. In this study, the application of SPSS 25 is used as a data analysis tool that will be described with descriptive statistical methods and inferential statistics. The results of the research, obtained in part, show that profitability and capital structure have a significant positive impact on the value of the company. Liquidity has a significant negative impact on company value. Profitability and liquidity have significant negative effects on capital structure. Capital structure is unable to mediate the impact of profitability on the company's value but mediates the effect of profitability on firm value.

Salah satu kegiatan dalam teknologi keuangan adalah investasi di pasar saham. Harga saham pada sektor Consumer Cyclicals sangat fluktuatif dikarenakan sektor ini rentan terhadap perubahan ekonomi dan siklus bisnis. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi harga saham ialah ukuran perusahaan. Hasil dari ukuran perusahaan justru mengalami tren kenaikan padahal harga sahamnya mengalami fluktuasi. Fenoemena ini bertentangan dengan Signaling Theory dimana seharusnya jika perusahaan memberi sinyal positif kepada calon investor maka harga saham dapat meningkat. Maka dari itu diperlukan variabel lain untuk memediasi ukuran perusahaan terhadap harga saham yaitu profitabilitas dan solvabilitas. Tujuan dari studi ini untuk mengetahui dampak dari Ukuran Perusahaan (X) terhadap Harga Saham (Y) melalui Profitabilitas yang diproksikan dengan Return On Equity (Z1) dan Solvabilitas yang diproksikan dengan Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) sebagai variabel mediasi pada Perusahaan Sektor Consumer Cyclicals yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia Periode 2012 – 2022. Metode yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling 29 perusahaan yang menjadi sampel dari 69 total populasi. Uji asumsi klasik, analisis jalur, uji sobel, uji t, dan pengujian data dengan SPSS 20 merupakan teknik analisis data yang digunakan. Hasil pada studi ini menunjukkan bahwa ukuran perusahaan tidak berdampak dan tidak signifikan terhadap harga saham, ukuran perusahaan berdampak positif dan signifikan terhadap profitabilitas, ukuran perusahaan tidak berdampak dan tidak signifikan terhadap solvabilitas, profitabilitas berdampak positif dan signifikan terhadap harga saham, solvabilitas berdampak positif dan signifikan terhadap harga saham, profitabilitas mampu memediasi dampak ukuran perusahaan terhadap harga saham, dan solvabilitas tidak mampu memediasi dampak ukuran perusahaan terhadap harga saham.

Authors: Martins Larissa Fernanda Silva
Published: August 2024

This thesis explores the intersection between tax credits and social justice, investigating how fiscal incentives can promote economic and social inclusion. Focusing on public policies in the United States, the study analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of using tax credits to benefit marginalized communities and reduce inequalities. The research highlights successful examples such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which demonstrate how tax credits can effectively create opportunities and strengthen social cohesion. However, the paper also addresses implementation challenges, such as administrative complexity and restrictive eligibility criteria, which can limit access to benefits. Ultimately, the study suggests strategies to optimize the use of tax credits as a tool for social justice, promoting a more equitable and sustainable society.

ASSISTÊNCIA JURÍDICA À CRIANÇA E AO ADOLESCENTE COMO SUJEITOS DE DIREITOS
Authors: Oliveira Mônica Gonçalves
Published: August 2024

The present work aims to analyze the implementation of the child and adolescent defender in the Brazilian legal system. In light of the doctrine of full protection, which establishes that children and adolescents must be considered subjects of law and not objects of law, they must be guaranteed the full and effective exercise of contradictory and broad defense, constitutionally guaranteed. However, despite the existing protective system, it is still observed that children and adolescents do not have their own voice in legal proceedings. Their wishes, in most cases, are not even considered, with the interests of those responsible prevailing, which are not always in line with those of the child. It is also important to highlight that the democratic theory must be adopted in the Brazilian legal system to the detriment of the demonic theory, as it is the one that satisfies the protection of children and adolescents to a greater extent, guaranteeing their effective participation and hearing in the procedures of their interest. . Finally, it should be noted that the jurisprudence of the higher courts already has decisions in this regard.
