When reality breaks into parts, islands, pieces – Yevgenia Beloruset's "Wartime Diary"
Authors: Bednarowska Aleksandra
Published: February 2025

W artykule omówiono Dziennik wojenny ukraińskiej fotografki, pisarki i artystki Jewgieniji Belorusets, który prowadziła przez pierwsze 47 dni rosyjskiej inwazji na Ukrainę w 2022 roku. Diarystka, stosując różne strategie dystansowania się od traumatycznych wydarzeń dziejących się wokół niej, opisuje wpływ wojny na każdy aspekt swojego życia. Dystans ten jest konieczny, aby opowiedzieć historię i poinformować międzynarodowych czytelników, gdyż autorka jest głęboko przekonana, że jej głos musi zostać usłyszany. W artykule przedstawiam autorkę, analizuje jej dziennik jako tekst przeznaczony do publikacji i rozważam, jak trauma wpływa na tekst dziennika.
Organization’s inadequate hiring Practices and employee performance in Puntland Region, Somalia
Authors: Mohamoud Hassan Ahmed
Published: February 2025

This study highlights the part that poor recruiting procedures have in organizational inefficiencies by examining the effects they have on worker performance in Puntland, Somalia. The study examines how ineffective hiring practices, such as a lack of job alignment and competency evaluation, compromise productivity, retention, and overall organizational performance by drawing on ideas such as Person-Job Fit and Human Capital. Data from 92 respondents in five varied firms using a correlational design and mixed-methods methodology highlight three major issues: gender inequality, talent mismatches, and hiring biases related to clan or familial ties. The results highlight the necessity of planned and open hiring practices to improve organizational results and worker quality. Suggestions are made to close these gaps and guarantee that job needs and staff competencies are in line.

Authors: B. Ugi Fredrick , Ogidi Modestus , Aromolaran Abiola
Published: February 2025

In Nigeria, the National Home-Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP) has the potential to support regional agricultural economies and give pupils wholesome meals. Nonetheless, a careful examination is necessary due to worries about its operational effectiveness and ethical purity. This study assesses how the NHGSFP affects academic achievement, school attendance, and community involvement. The study examines claims of misconduct and corruption in the program and suggests methods to improve ethics. The study's conclusions provide insight into how views of the NHGSFP are correlated with demographic patterns, including age, occupation, community type, state of residence, and education level. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study looked at corruption claims and ethical issues inside the NHGSFP in addition to quantitatively analyzing survey data. A sample of respondents spanning a range of variables, including age, gender, education level, community type, state of residence, and occupation, were given a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to obtain complete data on participants' opinions and experiences linked to the NHGSFP. Using SPSS software, data analysis was done to evaluate the program's impact, demographic trends, and perceptions of corruption claims. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, chi-square testing, and correlation analysis were used to investigate correlations between variables. The analysis highlights the influence of education on opinion formation by showing that respondents with greater levels of education often had more positive evaluations of the NHGSFP's impact. Furthermore, compared to their rural counterparts, urban dwellers typically express more positive opinions, suggesting regional differences in program perception. Additionally, the NHGSFP is more well-liked by responders from some states than others, highlighting the necessity of individualized interventions based on regional context. Occupational analysis highlights the variety of viewpoints held by stakeholders, underscoring the significance of focused communication tactics. It's interesting to see that believing in the program's beneficial impact is correlated with being aware of corruption claims; this suggests a complex link that needs more investigation. To prevent corruption within the NHGSFP, the study suggests strong financial controls, ethics training, and open procurement procedures. In addition, it promotes streamlined enrolment processes and improved information sharing to guarantee fair access to the program's advantages. These results offer insightful information to stakeholders and policymakers, supporting evidence-based decision-making and the moral development of the NHGSFP to better serve communities and learners in Nigeria.

Collaborative Learning Analytics
Authors: Guitert Catasús Montse , Romeu Fontanillas Teresa , Raffaghelli Juliana E. , Cerro Martínez Juan Pedro
Published: February 2025

This article systematically reviews the role of learning analytics (LA) in collaborative learning, particularly exploring how it can empower both teachers and students. Based on the analysis of 87 articles, selected by adopting the PRISMA workflow, the study discusses the intersection of LA with collaborative learning (CL), emphasizing the potential benefits of such integration in enhancing educational processes and outcomes. The review highlights that though the research in collaborative LA (cLA) is mature and the need to liaise technology with pedagogical theory is clear, the research practices mapped in the literature still show critical gaps in empowering teachers and students in the use of cLA systems. Indeed, our study spots the problems of informed consent and data privacy issues in cLA research but makes a step forward in the direction of analyzing participant appropriation of LA technologies from their design and deployment. On these bases, we contend that user empowerment through cLA usage is not only relevant for learning, but it is also part of an overall ethical approach to LA. Overall, the article makes a compelling case for the careful and thoughtful integration of LA into collaborative learning environments, both from the research and the educational practice sides.

„Pisanie z pamięci” — strategie narracyjne we współczesnej literaturze autobiograficznej
Authors: Czempka-Wewióra Maria
Published: February 2025

Events from the past create a man‘s personal history, which is narrated in order to emphasise the coherence of human life and its reasonableness. In this story, a special role is played by the recalling subject, who is not always identical with the main character. The most common form of autobiographic narration is in the first person singular. However, sometimes it takes a plural form or seems to be impersonal, particularly if it concerns a character that is significantly different in age or appearance form the speaker. The subject, looking at a photograph of him/her, is sometimes surprised and seems to himself/herself a totally different person. For analysing a category of the point of view is useful. It helps to describe frequent changes of perspective as regards the presentation of a character and events. The memories organised in a memory narration are very often digressive, which is explained by psychological working mechanisms of memory as well as atemporal attitude. Memory games on the axis of time are an interesting phenomenon and it is worth discussing them. The memory attempts to stop the time but then it kills events, creates a particular individual mythology. Memories are one‘s collection, a museum of memories. The timeless attitude is favoured by frequent repetitions resulting from returns to significant points which influence the individual‘s life. Nevertheless, the repetitions do not mean boredom, because each time the speaker has a different point of view and the facts start to get a new meaning.

Atiende, además, conceptos generados por la emergencia de la Nueva Narrativa Chilena. Se tuvieron en cuenta los aportes teóricos de Grínor Rojo, Rodrigo Cánovas, Patricia Espinosa, Macarena Areco, Marianne Hirsch y Elizabeth Jelin, entre otros, los que contribuyen a confirmar el carácter central de estos tópicos en la narrativa de Jeftanovic.
Estudio del sexismo ambivalente en el estudiantado del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica
Authors: Calderón Ferrey Martha , Meza Cascante Luis Gerardo , Sancho-Martínez Laura , Álvarez-Hernández Mariam , Cedeño Camacho Mauricio , Queralt Camacho Laura
Published: February 2025

Se presentan los resultados de un estudio sobre el sexismo ambivalente, y sus dos componentes, el sexismo hostil (SH) y el sexismo benevolente (SB), en estudiantes del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR). La concepción tradicional del sexismo ha sido superada a partir de los aportes de Glick y Fiske (1996), quienes plantean que el sexismo está conformado por los dos componentes mencionados, los cuales están claramente diferenciados. El primero coincide con la concepción tradicional de sexismo y el segundo es una expresión más sutil, que incluso conlleva una carga “positiva”, la cual parte de estereotipos y roles tradicionales sobre las mujeres. El sexismo benevolente entraña una amenaza por cuanto puede utilizarse para compensar o legitimar el sexismo hostil. Esta es una investigación cuantitativa de tipo descriptivo, que estudia la variable por sexo, rango de edad o zona de procedencia, mediante la aplicación del Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente (ISA), creado y validado por Glick y Fiske (1996), en la versión en español de Expósito, Moya y Glick (1998). La muestra consta de 517 estudiantes en el año 2022 (42.6% mujeres). En el análisis de los datos, se utilizaron las técnicas estadísticas t de Student T y Kruskall-Wallis. Como resultado, se infiere que existen niveles bajos de sexismo ambivalente, sexismo hostil y sexismo benevolente: hay diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en el sexismo hostil y en el benevolente, los primeros presentan mayores niveles, con tamaño del efecto alto en ambos casos. Los resultados pueden interpretarse como positivos, dado que el nivel de sexismo observado es bajo en las tres categorías. No obstante, por tratarse de una población de nivel educativo alto era esperable que no se presentaran niveles altos de sexismo, por cuanto investigaciones como las de Glick, Lameiras-Fernández y Rodríguez-Castro (2002) y León y Aizpurúa (2020) han encontrado que a mayor nivel educativo, menores niveles de sexismo y porque el ITCR tiene una rica historia de incorporación de disposiciones, tanto en sus políticas generales y específicas como en su Modelo académico, que sitúan al ser humano como lo más importante. Los hallazgos sugieren que los esfuerzos realizados no han sido suficientes, por lo tanto, se deben continuar y robustecer las acciones tendientes a eliminar tanto las concepciones como el comportamiento sexistas del estudiantado.

Authors: Albornoz Toloza Valentina , Cid Hidalgo Juan D.
Published: February 2025

El espacio y los objetos distribuidos en él condicionan las acciones de ciertos personajes con lo cual forman constelaciones (Gordillo, 2014), que conllevan una carga ideológica. Este trabajo pretende analizar cómo algunos objetos pertenecientes a la religión católica condicionan las acciones de los personajes, tanto apóstatas como practicantes dentro de la diégesis, y cómo actúan alegorizandosituaciones de caos, violencia y desesperación (Avelar, 2000). Este artículo se ocupa de evidenciar este proceso en las novelas Pasión y muerte del cura Deusto (1924) de Augusto D’Halmar, Coronación (1957) de José Donoso, Cristianas viejas y limpias de Enrique Lafourcade (1997), Cuándo éramos inmortales (1998) de Arturo Fontaine y Ruido (2012) de Álvaro Bisama.

Published: February 2025

School and learning are inseparable. Meaningful learning looks at several aspects in its implementation, such as the school environment, classroom management, student character to the model or lesson method used. Teachers in this case play a role as agents of reconciliation who can introduce God to their students in the classroom, this can also start from the teacher choosing a learning model. One of the learning models that can be chosen is cooperative learning which uses a model of cooperation in learning. There are various kinds of cooperative learning models, but in this study, there are three discussed. Thus, the purpose of this research is to find out the cooperative learning type STAD, Guided Inquiry and Problem based Learning in Christian perspective. With the literature review method, the results of this study are that the use of the STAD learning model has a positive impact on students, and by the philosophy of Christian education emphasizes the importance of human relations with others as the image and likeness of God. The application of the guided inquiry learning model requires the active involvement of a teacher to guide students both cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual in learning.  Project-based learning in its implementation is expected to be able to direct students to holistic growth in accordance with the role of Christian teachers in the discipleship process.
Facilitating Students’ Emotional Engagement in Synchronous Online Learning: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Tu Yaxin , Wang Qiyun , Huang Changqin
Published: February 2025

Learners’ emotional engagement in synchronous online learning (SOL) is critical for improving learning persistence and performance. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews of emotional engagement in SOL. This review synthesizes the strategies to promote emotional engagement in SOL found in published empirical studies. A total of 32 articles were systematically analyzed by following the grounded theory approach. The primary themes were grouped into four categories: (a) instructor actions (e.g., interacting informally before and after class, encouraging the expression of ideas), (b) learner behaviors (e.g., building rapport with peers, recognizing individual accountability), (c) environment characteristics (e.g., creating a supportive atmosphere, selecting communication modes), and (d) activity design (e.g., using breakout rooms, embedding diverse elements). These findings offer comprehensive understanding and guidance for promoting emotional engagement in SOL for instructors, researchers, and course developers.
Evaluating AI-Personalized Learning Interventions in Distance Education
Authors: Vijayakumar Selvaraj , Panwale Sajida Bhanu
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the utility of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving the persuasive communication skills of online Master of Business Administration (MBA) students. In particular, this study investigated the influence of personalization through AI using the Google Gemini platform on conventional and online instructional approaches. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest and posttest design to compare two groups of MBA students pursuing persuasive online communication. The experimental group (n = 32) interacted with the AI-based personalized learning materials, whereas the control group (n = 32) used standard instructor-designed online modules. During the 12-week intervention period, the experimental group was provided with customized practice activities. Conversely, the control group was offered conventional online learning material. The effectiveness of both approaches was evaluated using pretests and posttests. The results of Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test provided insight into the areas where AI-based personalized learning had a statistically significant impact. These results support the conclusions derived from an analysis of variance and further validate the study’s research hypotheses. This study demonstrates the advantages of incorporating AI into language development for remote learners and offers valuable insights for integrating AI-driven technologies into distance education.
Analyzing Learning Sentiments on a MOOC Discussion Forum Through Epistemic Network Analysis
Authors: Yu Jianhui
Published: February 2025

Sentiments expressed on massive open online course (MOOC) discussion forums significantly influence learning effectiveness and academic performance. The evolution of learning sentiments on MOOC discussion forums is a dynamic process; however, a gap exists in the current understanding of the interplay between evolving sentiments and their impact on MOOC efficacy. Consequently, to enhance MOOC effectiveness further empirical research is needed to uncover the underlying patterns and temporal dynamics of learning sentiments. This study collected online discussions from 158 MOOC participants and examined the discussions using epistemic network analysis to identify how learning sentiment patterns differed according to performance level and learning topics. The results showed that learning sentiment patterns were affected by both performance level and learning topics, with participants in the high-score group exhibiting stronger associations between engagement-neutral and neutral-frustration, and fewer connections between frustration-delight and frustration-boredom when compared to those in the low-score group. In addition, this study found that engagement was strongly linked to all learning topics in the high-score group, whereas for the low-score group, only engagement and experience showed strong connections. Based on these findings, we discuss the implications for learners and instructors in paving the way for the development of targeted interventions and instructional strategies tailored to optimize MOOC effectiveness.

Obesity and micronutrient status predict inflammation and weaker immune function in Filipino schoolchildren
Authors: Amarra Maria Sofia , de los Reyes Francisco , Sumpio Wilson , dela Cruz Lilybeth , Cayabyab Babylyn , Angbengco Jose Ma. , Panlasigui Leonora
Published: February 2025

The study examined the association of nutritional status (i.e., anthropometric and micronutrient status) with infection, inflammation, and immune cell quantities in 166 apparently healthy Filipino children aged 5–9 years attending public schools in Manila. Children with low, normal, and high body mass index (BMI)-for-age were compared in terms of micronutrient status (iron, vitamin D, vitamin C, and riboflavin), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection, inflammation, and immune cell quantities. Micronutrients contributing to the variance in inflammation and abnormal immune cell quantities were identified. Inflammation and poorer immune health (characterized by high C-reactive protein (CRP) and low neutrophils, respectively) were more prevalent in children with overweight and obese BMI-for-age than in those with either normal or low BMI. Previous EBV infection was found in 88.7% of children. After controlling for infection, low level of serum vitamin C predicted inflammation, while increased level of iron (hemoglobin) in the presence of vitamin C predicted an abnormal neutrophil level, occurring mostly as neutropenia. Viral infection, overweight, and obesity adversely affect Filipino children’s immune health. Increases in the level of iron (hemoglobin) further impair immune function by providing the iron needed for viral proliferation. The Philippine government requires mandatory iron fortification of staple foods and voluntary iron fortification of processed foods. Given the high prevalence of EBV infection and rising obesity among children, iron fortification policies should be reexamined to ensure that iron is used solely to address iron-deficiency anemia rather than to promote the development of EBV-associated malignancies or other infections. Instead, the policies should focus on increasing vitamin C intake from fresh fruits and vegetables to improve child immunity.

Published: February 2025

Objective: Housing and management of experimental animals are important aspects to consider alongside the welfare of experimental animals. Both are related to the behavior of animals and the results of the research to be conducted. Every laboratorian should pay attention to the management and housing of experimental animals, starting from the characteristics of cages according to the needs of the animals, sanitation that must be considered, and cage enrichment so that animals can express their natural behaviors. The focus on good management and housing aims to reduce stress on animals, create comfort and optimal care, and ensure more accurate research results.

Methods: This article is based on scientific information obtained from various literature such as articles and books published from various sources in the last 10 years from 2014-2024. Data collection was carried out by searching for scientific articles and journals using the Google Scholar search engine containing the concepts being studied. Article searches were carried out using the keywords "Characteristics of Animal Housing", "Management of experimental rodents", and "Rodentia" so that the articles that appeared matched the research topic.

Results: providing suitable living conditions enables animals to develop, reach maturity, reproduce, and exhibit normal behavior in both laboratory and healthy environments. Conclusions: Social animals such as rodents thrive when they have companionship. Mice and rats are active during the night, while guinea pigs are active in daylight. Cage size is adjusted to the needs of each animal so that they can engage in their natural activities. Room temperature is also considered to avoid problems for the animals. Environmental enrichment for rodent animals needs to be considered to minimize stress.

Published: February 2025

The research of the article is focused on ways to reduce the amount of analyzed data when applying image classification methods in computer vision systems. The aim of this work is to develop approaches to reduce the dimensionality of the vector description of the etalon base using metric granulation, which reduces computational costs and speeds up the classification process while maintaining a sufficient level of accuracy. Methods used: keypoint descriptors, metric data granulation apparatus, image classification and processing theory, data structures, software modeling. Results: the formalism of granular representation was developed; experimental modeling was carried out using five-level granulation, which reduced the time spent tenfold while maintaining high classification accuracy. In the comparative aspect, we studied ways to reduce the volume of vector descriptions based on data discarding, and researched the effect of the granularity level on the accuracy and classification time. The practical significance of the work is to improve the performance of image classification structural methods by implementing granularity and data discarding schemes, which provides much faster data processing without significant loss of classification performance.

The development of materials for blocking infrared radiation, provided there are several layers with different thermophysical characteristics, requires large amounts of experimental research. Therefore, it is advisable to automate this process. This is possible due to the modeling of heat flow through the layered material. The purpose of the research is a modeling of the passage heat flow through a material made of layers different thermophysical properties and verification of the modeling results. Results of the research: Modeling of the passing heat flow through a layered structure with different thermophysical properties of individual layers was carried out. An air gap of small thickness was assumed between the layers of materials. Changes in the temperature of the outer layer were determined depending on the time of heat passing through the layered structure. The obtained dependences of temperature changes of each layer in time and space. The obtained easy-to-use graphical dependencies are suitable for the designing a protective material with the required properties. The temperature gradient between the heat source and the outside space was taken into account. The modeling results were verified using a calibrated infrared radiation detector. It was established that the application of modeling allows to choose the thermophysical characteristics of individual layers the material, which ensure the temperature of the outer layer and is equated to the temperature of the environment. A comparison of the manufactured material with known analogues showed that it has better protective properties with a smaller thickness. Conclusions: The application of the modeling heat flow propagation through a layered structure with different thermophysical properties of individual layers allows designing protective materials depending on operating conditions.

The object of study is the process of planning the UAV flight path. The subject of the study is a mathematical model of intelligent UAV flight path planning. The purpose of the research is to develop a mathematical model for intelligent planning of the flight trajectory of unmanned aerial vehicles. Research results. The practical use of the developed model will allow us to take into account the key stages of selection, implementation and training of the model in conditions of adaptability and reactivity of UAV movement. A distinctive feature of the model is a reasoned breakdown of the intelligent planning process into key stages. During the research process, GERT network approaches and probability theory methods are used for data analysis and modeling. Particular attention is paid to data preprocessing and model selection, which directly affects trajectory optimization and validation of the results obtained. Conclusions. The work confirms the need to take into account adaptability and reactivity in the context of external influences, which makes the planning process more effective in a dynamically changing environment. Experimental results show that the proposed model significantly reduces the computational complexity of planning, which in turn contributes to a higher level of safety and reliability of UAV missions. The results of the study of the mathematical model made it possible to put forward and confirm a hypothesis about the priority importance of a number of characteristics for assessing probabilistic-time characteristics. They also confirmed the importance of further research at the “Vibration and implementation of the model” stage.

Relevance. In the modern world, social media are becoming the main channels of communication, which significantly affects the formation of public opinion and the implementation of strategic narratives. In the context of global information challenges, in particular war, understanding and predicting changes in public sentiment is extremely important for the effective implementation of state information policy, as well as for combating disinformation. The subject of the study is modeling the processes of predicting changes in public opinion during the implementation of a strategic narrative through social media. The aim of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of using diffusion of innovations models and neural networks to predict changes in socio-political sentiment, as well as to optimize content strategy on social media platforms. Main results: The study showed that social media has a significant impact on public consciousness, and the use of information dissemination models, such as Bass's diffusion of innovations model, allows predicting the spread of narratives among different groups of users. The use of neural networks to analyze socio-political sentiment provided highly accurate forecasts with good quality indicators. The results of the study emphasize the importance of adapting content strategy in social media to increase the effectiveness of influencing the audience. Conclusion. The results obtained confirm that for the successful implementation of the state's strategic narrative, it is necessary to apply combined methods of forecasting and adapting content on social platforms. Successful adaptation of content strategy, taking into account changes in user behavior and trends in socio-political sentiment, is a key factor for effective influence on public opinion and support of national interests in the digital environment.
