Authors: Malykhin Oleksandr , Aristova Nataliia , Opaliuk Tetyana
Published: June 2023

Nowadays higher education institutions are directly involved in the training of new personnel, so they should seriously puzzle one of the most obvious questions today, how to prepare students to meet the challenges of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in an increasingly globalised society. And although the unequivocal answer to this question doesn’t exist, one thing is certain: while providing Education 4.0 through incorporating advanced technology into the curriculum for implementing best practices and innovative methodological approaches, methods and techniques, higher education institutions should do their best to shape the next generation of highly employable global citizens who can think and act from a global perspective.  In the future students who specialise in the field of Computer Engineering and Information Technology will be at the forefront of advancing the technology available to all people in the world and, therefore, they should be globally competent. It means that they should possess a global competence to successfully compete on a global scale. Significant practical experience gained by the authors of the article made it possible to assume that being one of the humanities which is taught to Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates in Ukrainian higher education institutions, English has a great potential for developing their global competence. Considering the fact that Ukrainian 15-year-old students were not a part of the PISA 2018 Global Competence assessment, the present research was aimed at finding out how the participants understood the concept of “global competence”, their awareness of the importance of global competence development in accordance with the requirements and principles of Education 4.0 associated with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and participants’ views on the role of the English language in its development. For exactly this purpose the authors made a questionnaire in Google Forms. The research participants were 249 Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates who were selected by means of a purposeful sampling method. The conducted research shows that the didactic uniqueness of the English language as an academic discipline aimed at developing global competence is manifested in the fact that it can be seen as both a learning goal and a learning tool. The results obtained became the basis for devising a paradigm defining strategy (the core strategy) and four sub-strategies effective for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ global competence in the English language classroom.

Published: June 2023

In the recent decades harnessing the advanced information technologies and their tremendous potential to improve the quality of life for people all over the world is becoming an urgent need than a luxury. Knowing full well that as an innovative student-centred learning paradigm Education 4.0 creates favourable prerequisites for developing valuable professional skills, abilities and knowledge among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates, the researchers assumed that it also might be effective in preparing them for challenges of the contemporary world through developing their transformative competencies while studying the humanities. The paper aims to reveal the didactic potential of humanities for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ transformative competencies. The researchers carried out an exploratory study in five Ukrainian universities using an online survey conceived and developed by a team of researchers. A total of 275 respondents selected by means of a purposeful sampling method took part in the survey. The study found that humanities (1) are more likely to apply various learning activities which can be done both individually and in groups than technical disciplines and (2) have much broader potential for developing all key constructs of transformative competencies among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates than technical disciplines. The results enabled the researchers to formulate recommendations for university teachers of humanities on how to develop transformative competences among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates. The combination of challenge-based learning (CBL) and activity-based learning (ABL) is being considered as a major methodological approach of Education 4.0 for developing transformative competences among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates. Scientific novelty of research consists in revealing and describing the didactic potential of humanities for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ transformative competencies.

Published: June 2023

This paper presents the issues of distance education, basic research on inclusive education and the current need for teacher training. The sudden «jump» from full-time distance learning has created a «collapse» in terms of inclusion. That is why our study considered: difficulties formation of inclusion and non-compliance and opportunities for all participants in the educational process; narrow orientation subjects and the lack of real practice for working with children with disabilities in the proposed training program for teachers; mismatch legal requirements and opportunities for schools to provide socialization and getting proper education of children with disabilities.During the collection and analysis of information, we used remote research methods, which included survey using Google forms; online meetings and interviews with teachers and teacher assistants; online discussions on the specifics of the proposed content and its adaptation to the needs of the inclusive class and for children with disabilities.According to the results of our research, we found some contradictions between the requirements for the creation of an inclusive educational space, the forms offered for distance learning, and the opportunities of participants in the learning process. It is possible to design and develop specialized courses for teachers working with children with disabilities.

Published: June 2023

For any specialist, basic knowledge of his or her specialty is like a "daily routine" that should create comfortable conditions for the realization of basic professional tasks. At the same time, the changes brought about by the transition to a remote format of communication, professional activity and the need to use the mechanisms of the information society affect the basic process of socialization, formation and development of personality. This process is part of the educational process - the "knowledge acquisition routine" or social programming that meets the needs of the state, society, national culture, etc. And it cannot have primary and/or secondary aspects.That is why the task of our research on this topic is to try to figure out what basic knowledge of software and web content, including programming skills, can be the necessary minimum in teacher training for everyday activities in the digital world (including the needs of society and the interests of children/youth). What should be a prerequisite for quality interaction between teachers, subjects and objects of the educational process in the digital world. In particular, what format, ethical norms and legislative aspects of regulation of the digital educational process, including relevant content, should be the basis for such interaction.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MOVEMENTS WHEN CYLINDRICAL TURNING, DRILLING, COREDRILLING AND REAMING
Authors: Poparov Angel , Izmirliqn Agop
Published: June 2023

In the process of work the tool angles change their value to become the working angles. This results in a variation of the work conditions of the cutting tools. The variation depends on the characteristic of the resultant cutting motion – the sum of the cutting motion and feed motion.In this article the characteristics of motions of cylindrical turning, drilling, coredrilling and reaming are derived, which can serve as a basis for determining the relations between the tool and working angles. These relations can be used in programming the CNC to prevent the formation of negative working clearance angle and the destruction of the tool.

Published: June 2023

The damage from weeds in the cultivation of agricultural crops is ubiquitous and they adversely affect the yields of agricultural production. The soil conditions of the places where the crops are grown deteriorate. Contribute to the development of diseases and the enemies on them. Apart from this, it is difficult to carry out mechanized processing and harvesting activities. Weeds also worsen the very quality of the harvested produce. That is why the availability of a recognition system to the agricultural robot is essential to reduce the adverse influence. It is part of a system of control and destruction. In this weed recognition system, an essential element is a robotic arm to enable a camera to perform video surveillance.The aim of this paper is to modelling only the mechanical anchorage system for weed recognition elements that it does not interfere with the other elements with which it interacts. To be as effective as possible, this system must be as close as possible to the plants and at the same time close to the weed eradication system in agricultural robot.A three-dimensional model of the weed recognition mechanical parts from system is discussed in the paper. It is designed in a 3D Experience environment, taking into account the parameters necessary for the movement of the system. Strength sizing of the structure and working simulations of the model were made.
Application of genetic algorithms to an inversion of surface-wave dispersion data
Authors: Yamanaka Hiroaki , Ishida Hiroshi
Published: June 2023

A new method for inversion of surface-wave dispersion data is introduced. This method successfully utilizes recently developed genetic algorithms as a global optimization method. Such algorithms usually consist of selection, crossover, and mutation of individuals in a population. To facilitate convergence to an optimal solution, we added elite selection, which ensures that the “best” individual with the smallest misfit value is not excluded from the succeeding generation, and dynamic mutation, which contains a generation-variant mutation probability. Using synthetic and observed earthquake data, we examined the applicability of this genetic surface-wave inversion method in deducing an S-wave profile for sedimentary layers from short- and intermediate-period surface-wave dispersion data. We demonstrated that the method is robust and can be used to interpret surface-wave dispersion data.
An improved air-powered impulsive shear-wave source
Authors: Liu Hsi-Ping , Maier Robert L. , Warrick Richard E.
Published: June 2023

We have previously constructed an air-powered, impulsive, SH-wave source for shear-wave velocity measurements using a downhole configuration. One shortcoming of that source is the existence of a forerunning signal generated by the reaction to the rapid acceleration of an inertial mass when a poppet value is opened. By changing the poppet valve to a ball valve, a cleaner signal is generated. The improvement comes about because when a ball valve is opened, its flow capacity increases gradually, resulting in a smooth and gradual acceleration of the inertial mass. Tests involving ground coupling and driving air pressure were conducted to investigate physical parameters of shear-wave generation. We illustrate as an application the measurement of shear-wave velocity in a loess layer.
Preliminary seismic hazard assessment for Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange counties, California, affected by the 17 January 1994 Northridge earthquake

Published: June 2023

The seismic ground motion hazard is assessed for a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years for the three counties (Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange) impacted by the 1994 Northridge earthquake (Mw 6.7). The earthquake source model of the Southern California Earthquake Center has been modified with additional slip-rate information for mapped faults and blind thrusts and incorporated into seismic hazard maps that will be used for making regional hazard and risk mitigation decisions by state and local government agencies. Peak horizontal ground acceleration (pga) and 5% damped spectral acceleration (SA) (0.3 and 1 sec) were calculated with three equally weighted attenuation relationships of Boore et al. (1993), Campbell and Bozorgnia (1994), and Sadigh (written comm., 1994). The results of this assessment indicate high hazard over the entire tri-county area with ground motions exceeding 0.4 g (pga), 1.0 g (0.3-sec SA), and 0.5 g (1-sec SA) nearly everywhere. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis is described for two sites located in Los Angeles and Northridge. This analysis yields 95% confidence limits for peak ground acceleration at the two sites that range between ±0.1 and ±0.2 g. Our calculations indicate that the uncertainty in the magnitude-rupture length relations, magnitude distribution, moment-magnitude relation, attenuation relation, and slip-rate contribute most to the hazard uncertainty at these sites and that the highest uncertainties in the mapped ground motion are associated with the strongest anticipated ground motions.
Race, Nation, Class: A Neo-Marxist Critique
Authors: Lieb Daniel , Schorr Sophia , Kamenik Anna
Published: June 2023

Racial discrimination is a phenomenon, which can be experienced in individual lives, in groups and communities, and in the structures of a global society. Racial discourses and the performance of discrimination are historical issues that are based on colonial and global relations. That’s why the topic of racism needs to be laid bare as an individual sensitisation as well as a structural – political, social, institutional, etc. – challenge. Often, education is held up as the solution to this. By this we mean education in a wide sense that addresses people of all ages, knowledge or social groups. According to Étienne Balibars and Immanuel Waller-stein’s book Race, Nation, Class - Ambiguous Identities (1991), we want to add a neo-Marxist perspective on the discussion of racism in issue 13 of on_education. We recognise a marginalization of historical and structural voices because some articles in the volume risk individualising a structural phenomenon – that of racism. To unpack our critique, we begin with a short overview of what a neo-Marxist perspective on racism comprises. In the second step, we outline how our perspective can enrich the discussion by summarising the main points of the volume's texts and critiquing them. In the final step, we conclude our argument with reflections on speaking about racism and education.

Published: June 2023

Introductory statistics has been considered an anxiety-inducing course by undergraduates so efforts need to be done to reduce or eliminate their negative attitudes about statistics. One of such efforts is using TikTok tutorial videos as instructional media. The current study aimed to find out the undergraduates’ perceptions about the use of TikTok tutorial videos in introductory statistics classes, describe the challenges they encountered in using the videos and elicit their feedback to overcome these challenges. The results showed that in general they had favorable perceptions about the use of TikTok tutorial videos, but they reported three challenges: the speed, the backsounds and the instructions of the tutorial videos. Therefore, they suggested solutions for the challenges, and added some other feedback about other aspects of the videos, namely, the quality of the pictures, the content and the links. Implications for the teaching of introductory statistics are proposed based on these findings.

Authors: Kim Sean-Joo , Lee Seung-Mee , Chun Seok-Ju , Seo Jeong-Hyeon
Published: June 2023

In the inclusive classroom, the visually impaired and sighted student participate together in programming classes. However, familiar tools for the sighted students are difficult for the visually impaired students, and tools available to the visually impaired students are unfamiliar to the sighted students. These differences in tools make it difficult for these students to communicate and collaborate. To solve this problem, we developed a tangible programming system (TLPS). The system has an intuitive interface which can be used by both the visually impaired and the sighted people. To validate this system, 16 elementary school students participated in a usability evaluation and gave a positive evaluation of the system. In addition, the evaluation showed improvement in the participating students’ disability awareness of the visually impaired and in programming.
Reflection as activity: definition, schematization, reflexive cycle, and reflexive practices
Authors: Shiyan Taras
Published: June 2023

The article discusses the definition of reflection as an activity and examines the main factors that determine the kinds of reflection. According to the author of the article, reflection as an activity can be defined by the following formula: the direction of attention to EXPERIENCE for the “detection” of its FORMS and their fixation by means of certain SEMIOTIC TOOLS carried out for the sake of achieving some PURPOSE. In this formulation, the terms “experience”, “form”, “semiotic tools”, “purpose” are understood as parameters, the specification of which sets the description of certain kinds of reflection. In addition, the structure of “detection” participates in the formation of reflection, which consists of the languages of description, conceptual and terminological apparatus, knowledge and other conceptual means of the reflecting subject. Variants for specifying the parameters of the definition are considered in the article on the material of various philosophical techniques (mainly domestic tradition) and a number of general cultural reflexive practices. The author correlates his understanding of reflection with a number of ideas of the Moscow Methodological Circle (MMC), in which reflection techniques were given great importance. In particular, the author schematizes his understanding as a special case of an “act of activity”, the idea of which is the development within the MMC of some of K. Marx’s ideas. In connection with the clarification of the temporal structure of reflection (which is not grasped by schematization of reflection as an act of activity), the author introduces the idea of an elementary cycle of reflection and fixes it in the form of a scheme. In conclusion, the author examines the question of the correlation of reflection and thinking and considers the possibilities of correlating his definition of reflection with the typology of reflection set by the scheme of the thinking-communication-activity-system (proposed in MMC in 1983).

Authors: Juliastuti  , Thayyib Magfirah , Haerazi Haerazi
Published: June 2023

The acquisition of intercultural competence is considered paramount in enabling learners to engage comfortably with individuals from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The ability to communicate and interact appropriately with individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds is increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of the 21st century learning skillset. To investigate the attitudes, knowledge, and skills of students in relation to intercultural activities, this study employs a literature-based instructional approach. The implementation of the Intercultural communicative competence through English Literature (ICC-EL) paradigm among 92 students enrolled in the English Education Study Program at an Islamic higher education institution is the subject of this study. The research adopted a mixed-method approach to generate both quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, a questionnaire was administered to students upon the completion of the course to elicit quantitative data, while qualitative data was obtained through observation of the students' performance by the course lecturer. The results demonstrate that the implementation of the ICC-EL model has proven to be successful in stimulating the students' intercultural communication skills. Furthermore, the study of literary materials in the form of English novels has encouraged students to administer their awareness of intercultural communication skills. The incorporation of a variety of techniques has provided students with greater exposure to diverse languages and cultures, thereby encouraging them to manage their intercultural communication skills. The assessment of intercultural communication competency employed in the ICC-EL model is deemed appropriate and adaptable for implementation in different language teaching and evaluation contexts.

Published: June 2023

The study aims to ascertain whether intervention workshops held for Iranian EFL teachers had any effect on their knowledge of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) or of intercultural sensitivity (IS). The study investigated the effect of knowledge about ICC and IS on the practice of EFL teachers. 30 EFL teachers participated in a six-session workshop on ICC and IS, and completed the ICC Questionnaire (Zhou, 2011) and the IS Questionnaire (Chen & Starosta, 2000) before and again after the workshops. A further 10 teachers underwent a semi-structured interview designed to obtain their knowledge of ICC and IS. In addition, 10 classes were observed and 10 students took part in a semi-structured interview to identify the effect of ICC and IS knowledge on teachers’ practice. The results indicated that the intervention workshops had a significant effect on both the teachers’ ICC and IS knowledge. All respondents considered themselves interculturally competent and sensitive English teachers who showed respect for different cultures. It was also found that knowledge about ICC and IS had influenced EFL teachers’ practice. These findings have the potential to raise EFL teachers’ awareness of the prominence of ICC and IS, and inspire them to seek opportunities for improvement and consequently improve their job performance.

Published: June 2023

The analysis of information about the conducted cyber-threats makes it possible to identify modern information security problems when transmitted through unprotected communication channels. When conducting such an analysis, various components of the methods of implementing cyber threats are considered, but in this paper, it is proposed to pay attention to the motivational component of the emergence of threats and the existing effective tools for countering them. Such a comprehensive approach will make it possible to predict various modes of cyberattacks that cybercriminals can use against certain systems and to prepare the necessary digital security systems for the implementation of future threats. The influence of the exponential growth of the capacities of computing devices on the growth of the possibilities of implementing attacks by cybercriminals on cryptographic algorithms was also revealed. In this regard, the work considered the possibilities of increasing the level of resistance to such interventions, which are ensured by the NIST requirements for stability and security in the conditions of the post-quantum period. To determine the level of security of data transmission over an insecure network with privacy, integrity and authentication, a comparative analysis of the capabilities of information transmission protocols was conducted. The results of the analysis are presented in the form of a scheme of security and stability of protocols and algorithms that made it to the finals of the NIST competition. To ensure the integrity and authenticity of users when establishing communication sessions with websites, it is recommended to use TLS protocols. A scheme of the process of authenticated encryption and verification of the authenticity of an encrypted message transmitted using a TLS connection has been developed. The process diagram of authentication encryption and decryption of information when establishing a communication session in TLS protocols has been developed. A comparative analysis of different versions of TLS protocols was carried out.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastaların İMK tanısı anında herhangi bir tedavi almadan önce kan sayımları incelendi. Tam kan sayımından elde edilen tüm parametreler kayıt edildi; Nötrofil lenfosit oranı (NLR), trombosit lenfosit oranı (PLR), monosit lenfosit oranı (MLR), sistemik immün-enflamasyon indeksi (SII). Hastalar medyan NLR, PLR, MLR ve SII değerlerine göre iki alt gruba ayrıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya İMK'li toplam 105 hasta dahil edildi. Düşük NLR grubundaki hastalarda medyan sağkalım 14,6 ay iken, yüksek NLR grubunda 7,9 aydı (p=0,008). Ortanca sağkalım düşük PLR grubunda 12.7 aya karşı yüksek PLR grubunda 8.2 aydı (p=0.019). Ortanca sağkalım süresi yüksek MLR grubunda 14.6 ay iken, düşük MLR grubunda 7.9 aydı (p=0.06).

Sonuç: Tam kan sayımından elde edilen parametreler aracılığıyla NLR, İMK'li hastalarda umut verici bir prognostik belirteç gibi görünmektedir.

ABSTRACT

Aim: In our study, we planned to investigate the effect of serum cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) levels at the time of diagnosis in patients with various hematological malignancies.

Patients and Methods: Two hundred and one patients between 18-75 years old diagnosed with various hematological malignancies and 30 healthy controls applying to outpatient and inpatient clinics of Hematology Department in Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Faculty of Medicine between 2010-2014 years were included in the study. Demographic and clinical data and laboratory findings of the patients included in the study were recorded retrospectively.

Results: A total of 231 patients, 132 men (57.1%) and 99 women (42.9%), were included in our study, of which 201 were patients and 30 were healthy controls. The mean serum vitamin B12 concentration of all patients was found as 344.9 ± 279.0 pg/mL. When vitamin B12 levels were analyzed according to diagnostic groups, it was found to be highest in CML (596.0 ± 428.3 pg / mL) and ALL (524.5 ± 442.6 pg / mL) patients and lowest in AML patients (240.9 ± 178, 0 pg / mL); the difference was statistically significant (p

The main purpose of this study is to explain the relationship between individuals' cyberchondria levels and their life satisfaction during the pandemic process. At the same time, it is aimed to determine whether there is a statistical difference between cyberchondria and life satisfaction and demographic characteristics of individuals. Sociodemographic information form, Cyberchondria Severity Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Within the scope of the research, 416 participants were reached. Structural equation modeling, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Miller Method were used in the analysis of the data. During the pandemic period, there is a significant difference between life satisfaction, compulsion and doctor confidence scores and gender. There is a statistically significant difference between life satisfaction and age. There is a statistical difference between life satisfaction, compulsion and trust in doctor and marital status. There is a significant difference between education level and life satisfaction, compulsion, trust in doctor and cyberchondria. There is statistically significant difference between life satisfaction and trust in doctor and ıncome level. There is a significant difference between physical activity and presence of chronic disease and life satisfaction. As a result, there are statistically significant differences between demographic variables and life satisfaction and cyberchondria and its sub-dimensions. There is also a low level of relationship between life satisfaction and cyberchondria.
Kırgız Tiyatrosunda Kadının Varoluşu (1920-1990)

Published: June 2023

Tarihi kaynakların verdiği bilgilere göre, 1917 Ekim Devrimi’ne kadar Kırgız toplum hayatında ve edebiyatında tiyatronun varlığından söz edilemez. Tiyatro, 1917 Ekim Devrimi sonrası Kırgızların yaşamına bizzatihi devlet eliyle sokulmuş bir türdür. Amaç, Sovyetler Birliği’nin sahip olduğu sosyalist ideolojiyi okuma yazma oranı düşük bir topluma eğitim gibi uzun vadeli bir süreçle değil, hem eğlendiren hem de öğreten bir araçla benimsetmektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kırgız halkının tiyatro tarihine kısaca değinerek dönem bazında tiyatro metinlerinde birey olarak kadının çoğul kimliklerini yani kadın imajını ayrıntılı bir biçimde irdelemektir. Bu bağlamda, Kırgız tiyatrosunun başlangıçtan Sovyetler Birliği’nin resmen dağıldığı 1990 yılına kadar tiyatrolarda sahnelenmiş, Kırgız kadınlarının temel sorunlarını merkeze alan ve dönemin şartlarına paralel olarak değişen kadın tiplerine yer veren belli başlı oyunlar incelenmiştir. Böylece 1920-1990 yılları arasında Kırgız tiyatrosunda/metinlerinde yazarlar/dramaturglar tarafından yaratılan kadın tiplerinin oluşturduğu doku ortaya konmakla birlikte dönemin piyeslerine yansıyan önemli kadın sorunları da gözler önüne serilmiş olacaktır. Ayrıca Ekim Devrimi’nin Kırgız toplumu ve aile yapısını nasıl etkilediği, Sovyet Hükümeti’nin kendi ideoloji doğrultusunda kadın meselesini nasıl ele aldığı dolayısıyla Kırgız kadınının toplumdaki yeri ve öneminde ne gibi değişiklikler yaşandığına da temas edilecektir. Çalışma, Türkiye’de Kırgız edebiyatı ve tiyatrosu üzerine yapılan çalışmalar arasında kadın tiplerini detaylı olarak inceleyen ilk çalışma olması hasebiyle önem arz etmektedir.
