Features of the development of natural science knowledge in Alexandria in the IV century AD (on the example of the activities of Papp and Theon)
Authors: Abdulmanova Irina Valeryevna
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the personal and professional path of the outstanding Alexandrian intellectuals Papp and Theon. The work examines the main works of scientists and their scientific achievements in the field of natural science knowledge, as well as the linking of the intellectual heritage of Papp and Theon to the confrontation between secular intellectuals and Christians that unfolded in the IV century in Alexandria. The article proves the idea that Papp and Theon continued to develop natural scientific knowledge in Alexandria in a situation when Christian power had strengthened so much that any attempts to appeal to pagan heritage called into question the very existence of such a school in the city. The author of the article carries out the idea that the activities of these scientists became one of the reasons for the subsequent confrontation in the scientific environment of the city between pagans and Christians. At the same time, the author argues that Papp and subsequently Theon made an attempt to combine mathematics and philosophy, forming a new layer of scientists in Alexandria in the person of Theon's daughter Hypatia and her students, who made philosophy not a speculative, theoretical science, but highlighted its practical aspects.

Authors: Tuluzakova Margarita Igorevna , Buranok Sergey Olegovich
Published: November 2024

The article examines the process of forming assessments of Palestine in US press. US press make it possible to establish how ideas about the causes of the crisis changed in the US information discourse; how the process of evolution of the image of Great Britain as an ally and Great Britain as a competitor proceeded. Publications of American newspapers make it possible to determine assessments of British measures to resolve the crisis of 1939. An analysis of US newspapers demonstrates the peculiarities of the formation of the image of the Jewish and Arab population of Palestine and who fell under the category «Own». The period 1939 became decisive for US public opinion in choosing priorities in the Middle East conflict. The peculiarity of the formation of the image of Palestine in 1939 there was also demonization of the rebel Arabs and the British authorities. US newspapers and magazines wrote about the religious fanaticism of the Arabs as the main reason for the uprising. Journalists explained the confrontation between Arabs and Jews in Palestine solely by religious contradictions. Moreover, this was expressed in the classic Orientalist vein: the contrast between «civilization» and «barbarism» where the United States took on the role of an observer society. The material in the article clearly illustrates the stages of evolution of assessments of crisis 1939. US newspapers demonstrate the process of change in American public perceptions of the 1939 Palestine crisis. World War II was one of the important stages in the development of the discussion of the Middle East conflict that had been going on in American newspapers and magazines since the beginning of the 20th century.

Authors: Vasilyeva Tatyana Vitalievna
Published: November 2024

Epistemic culture based on the principles of enactivism becomes an important component of professional development of a specialist (graduate of psychological and pedagogical master's degree programs), allowing educational psychologists not only to integrate diverse knowledge and practices, but also to actively participate in their formation. In the context of global changes and challenges faced by modern society, enactivism becomes an important tool for achieving high-quality education and training future specialists. The article considers the essence of modern enactivism as a philosophical direction and its significance for the development of epistemic culture of educational psychologists studying for a master's degree; the postulates (the postulate of the inseparability of subject and object; the postulate of cognition as action; the postulate of co-development; the postulate of embodiment or the postulate of embodiment) and principles (the principle of cognitive symbiosis; the principle of knowledge construction; the principle of the significance of experience and interaction; the principle of knowledge dynamism) of the enactive approach to the design and implementation of the educational process of the master's degree are presented. The author concludes: enactivist philosophy of knowledge, being included in the system of master's degree training of educational psychologists, contributes to the formation of their epistemic culture, characterized by reflexivity, creativity, holism, openness to dialogue, interaction and cooperation, which, in turn, ensures high quality psychological and pedagogical support of the individual in the conditions of increasing complexity and uncertainty of the modern world.

Published: November 2024

This scientific publication presents a retrospective of important issues related to the education of the Crimean Tatar woman in the 19th – early 20th centuries. In the presented key, the authors rely on an impressive base of archival documents and research of contemporaries. Today, the stated topic sounds no less acute than a century ago, despite the presence of a policy of proletarianization of Islamic women. Modern Russia, all other things being equal, being one of the leading powers, preaches gender equality and the maximum involvement of Muslim women in the educational, cultural and scientific world in order to disseminate the main ideas of progress in the social environment. A woman-mother was, is and will remain the main link between a child and the world. A competent and innovative presentation of today, its prospects and possible results are a kind of roadmap, which the younger generation of society is called upon to provide. Involvement of historical retrospective in the issue under consideration will help contemporaries find the most rational ways to solve the problem not only from the point of view of scientific approaches, but also practical application, which again emphasizes the relevance of the stated topic. Historical experience in the context of the education of a Muslim woman, at the origins of which stood Ismail bey Gasprinsky, deserves serious and comprehensive study.
The Role of Input and Interaction in Developing EFL Saudi Learners' Reading Skills: A Literature Review
Authors: Alrayes Layan Ali
Published: November 2024

This paper highlights two prominent theories in second language acquisition: the Input Hypothesis and the Interaction Hypothesis. Numerous studies have explored the meanings, types, and effectiveness of each and their roles in developing language skills, which are central to language acquisition and learning. While many studies have discussed effective and meaningful approaches that incorporate input and interaction, few specifically examine their effects on reading skills, particularly concerning the Interaction Hypothesis. This paper aims to assess the impact of input and interaction on Saudi EFL learners' reading skills. The literature review indicates the effectiveness of the Input Hypothesis in enhancing reading skills and suggests that incidental learning facilitates language acquisition. It reveals the positive influence of interaction on reading skill development, mainly through interactionally modified input, which is perceived as an effective type. Previous studies show the importance of considering the cultural schema of learners as it works as a checklist for them during their reading to measure their knowledge, resulting in enhanced comprehension. The paper concludes with implications for future research, noting the limited studies available on the impact of the Interaction Hypothesis on the reading skills of Saudi EFL learners and in other contexts.

Precision without GPS: Multi-Sensor Fusion for Autonomous Drone Navigation in Complex Environments
Authors: Nur Siti
Published: November 2024

The rapid evolution of drone technology has expanded its applications across variodus domains, including delivery services, environmental monitoring, and search and rescue operations. However, many of these applications face significant challenges in GPS-denied environments, such as dense urban areas and heavily forested regions, where traditional navigation methods falter. This paper presents a novel multi-sensor fusion algorithm designed to enhance the localization accuracy of autonomous drones without reliance on GPS. By integrating data from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), LiDAR, and visual sensors, the proposed approach effectively compensates for the limitations of individual sensors, enabling robust navigation in complex environments. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm achieves an average localization accuracy of 1.2 meters in urban areas and 1.5 meters in forested settings, showcasing its resilience against sensor noise and environmental challenges. The implementation of loop closure techniques further improves long-term navigation accuracy, making it suitable for prolonged missions. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge in autonomous drone navigation and offers significant implications for enhancing the operational capabilities of drones in real-world scenarios. Future work will focus on integrating additional sensors, exploring machine learning techniques for adaptive fusion, and conducting extensive field trials to validate the system's performance in dynamic environments..

The research therefore includes a systematic literature review together with quantitative findings through empirical testing of the proposed model on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), in addition to qualitative insights of experts. Auto-scaling, load balancing caching, database optimizing, integration with edge computing and predictive workloads using Artificial Intelligence are the aspects that are also studied as key performance tuning latter. Soon, the investigation, which was made based on the results from applying the four techniques on different applications and two clouds, demonstrates the strength of each technique in achieving different goals. While auto-scale and load balance feature is very helpful in control of workload fluctuations, the caching and database optimization helps in the efficient retrieval of the data. Edge computing reduces latency in response to real-time applications, and the application of artificial intelligence in workload forecast smoothes resource utilization in environments with a rapidly changing workload. Accordingly, the research has shown need for careful choosing of suitable performance-oriented interventions to enhance the application’s interactions, decrease CPU utilization, and cut costs in a cloud environment. Lastly, this work offers practical knowledge about the methods of cloud performance tuning to support better application deployment in the cloud environments.
Applying Principal Component Analysis and Autoencoders for Dimensionality Reduction in Data Stream
Authors: Gore Mayur Prakashrao , Shinde Amol Ashokrao , Choudhury Amit
Published: November 2024

This research focuses on the role and efficiency of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and autoencoders, when working separately and concurrently for dimensionality reduction in large scale data. This is because the data obtained from sources such as the IoT sensors and the social media platforms is a lot more complicated than before and therefore proper dimensionality reduction is critical for real time analysis. The performance of these methods is analyzed on synthetic and real datasets based on which explained variance, reconstruction error and processing time of these methods are compared to define the optimal configuration. The results show that solely PCA is fast in linear data and autoencoders capture nonlinear dependence with slightly higher time complexity. This preserves considerable variance alongside a reasonable reconstruction error and thus makes the PCA-autoencoder model well suited to dynamic environments while incurring less computational expense than alternative PCA models. This work shows that it is possible to utilize relevant combinations of methods for dimensionality reduction to boost real-time data stream analysis especially in applications that demand for high accuracy at the same time as low delays.
Comparing the Representation of Anger in the Indonesian and English Proverbs: A Study Based on the Cognitive Semantics Analysis and the Contrastive Method
Authors:   Sanata Dharma University, Indonesia, Nugraha Danang Satria
Published: November 2024

This study explores the complexities of emotions, specifically anger, as reflected in the sayings of both English and Indonesian cultures. This study aims to uncover the intricate web of cultural and cognitive nuances that shape how anger is conceptualized in these linguistic expressions by utilizing a cognitive semantics approach and qualitative methods. Through a meticulous examination of a diverse corpus of proverbs from both languages, this study seeks to illuminate the similarities and differences in how anger is conceptualized, articulated, and communicated through language. Content analysis and cross-cultural comparison are utilized to identify patterns, metaphors, and underlying cognitive structures that underpin the expression of anger in these sayings. The findings show (1) English and Indonesian proverbs use metaphors that draw upon bodily experiences and natural phenomena to depict anger, (2) English proverbs typically depict anger as a formidable force that needs to be controlled or suppressed, often highlighting the negative consequences that could arise if one fails and Indonesian proverbs emphasize the fleeting nature of anger and the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in the aftermath of a conflict, and (3) while both languages have proverbs highlighting the destructive nature of uncontrolled anger, they differ in their metaphors and expressions. The findings from this study not only expand our understanding of the intricate interplay between language, culture, and emotion but also lay the groundwork for future study in cognitive semantics and cross-cultural studies. This study deepens our appreciation of the rich tapestry of human emotion and language, offering a nuanced perspective on how anger is perceived and articulated in two distinct linguistic and cultural contexts.

Place names are a part of vocabulary. Studying place names is learning about the class of words used to name geographical objects in a language. Therefore, place names are influenced by general linguistic rules. Place names are closely related to a certain region’s historical, cultural, and resident characteristics. Therefore, place names are a vibrant store of “data” that needs to be exploited. This article exploits historical and cultural elements in the “data” warehouse of place names, where the National Political Publishing House Truth Today was once based in Tuyen Quang.

Published: November 2024

Linguistics has many specializations, including Toponymy, which studies the origin, structure, semantics, variation, distribution and use of Toponym. Toponymy explores different aspects of naming, and simultaneously learns about the language, culture of a region in particular and a nation in general. Tuyen Quang is a province in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam, where many ethnic groups live together, including ethnic minorities, 50% of the population of the area. Learning about landmarks in Tuyen Quang will show the relationship between places and the culture of ethnic minorities. The results of this study show that each relationship between ethnic languages in Vietnam is an interdisciplinary study of cultural content in languages, contributing to the values of interdisciplinary scientific disciplines, for the study of culture through language in Vietnam. Based on linguistic data, psychological characteristics of the ethnic group, and the relationship between language and culture, the article studies several places to find out the origin and original components of several typical landmarks that have significant cultural significance—elements of ethnic minority languages in districts where ethnic minorities live concentratedly in Tuyen Quang province.

What Makes a Child Happy?
Authors:   VNU University of Economics and Business, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Nguyen Bich Diep
Published: November 2024

The study examines self-rated happiness of 1382 eight-year-old children living in five different cities and provinces in Vietnam. The results show that Vietnamese children have moderate level of subjective well-being (mean 5.975 out of a scale from 1 to 9). This level is on average higher than their caregiver’s self-reported happiness (mean 4.461). Child and parent demographic characteristics, such as age, ethnicity, health status, educational attainment or intellectual capabilities, as well as child time use have little relationship with child happiness. The two most important predictors of child subjective well-being are household expenditure (a proxy for economic conditions) and caregiver’s well-being. Furthermore, children living in rural areas report significantly lower level of happiness. The results of this study suggest that improving households’ material conditions and caregivers’ subjective well-being may be meaningful to child happiness.

Understanding the factors that contribute to students’ academic success in English is crucial, especially in rural schools where educational resources and opportunities may differ significantly from urban settings. This case study explores the unique challenges and successes experienced by students in rural areas, shedding light on the educational strategies that foster academic achievement in English. By analyzing these dynamics, this research aims to explore the learning experiences of high-achieving English students, identify the factors influencing their success, and examine the challenges they face while learning English in rural areas. This research employs a qualitative case study methodology, focusing on nine high-achieving students from SMPN 4 South Bungku. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires and analyzed using the Interactive Model of Data Analysis. The findings revealed that students experienced four types of learning: individual, group, direct, and indirect. Two primary factors influencing their academic achievement were the role of teachers and the lack of truancy. However, students faced external challenges such as inadequate teaching and learning facilities, significantly impacting their academic performance. The implications of the study suggest the importance of providing diverse learning experiences, supporting personalized learning strategies, fostering strong parental and teacher relationships, and addressing infrastructure issues in rural schools. Policymakers should consider these findings to create inclusive and resourceful learning environments that cater to diverse student needs and address specific rural challenges.

The pandemic situation has changed aspects of education. Online learning and assessment are still an alternative solution. However, there are still pros and cons related to online assessment activities. This is because online evaluation activities cannot be carried out optimally according to standard norms. This research aimed to: (1) analyze the online assessment type, (2) analyze the planning and implementation process of online assessment, (3) analyze the criteria in determining student achievement, and (4) determine the implications of online assessment for the quality of education. This research is qualitative research, which investigates the natural conditions of an object for which the researcher is the key instrument, and the results focus more on generalization. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out interactively and continuously until the data is saturated. The results show that (1) the types of assessment used in the assessment are multiple choice, essay, practical test, and oral test, (2) the assessment planning process consists of three stages; the media are Google form and WhatsApp, some of the assessment frequency remains the same and some are less frequent, while the obstacle in assessment is waiting for parents’ cellphones, (3) some learning assessment criteria remain the same and some provide added value for those who submit on time, and (4) The implication of online learning assessment is that the average ability decreases (for example in reading, writing, and arithmetic), behavior also decline.
Reimagining India’s Fiscal Architecture
Authors: Chinoy Sajjid Z , Jain Toshi , Sood Divyanit
Published: November 2024

Fiscal credibility in India has increased markedly in recent years underpinned by improved transparency (off-budget liabilities coming on budget), conservativeness (in the budgeting of revenues) and marksmanship (in the attainment of deficit targets). Yet, like around the world, India is left with higher public debt levels post-pandemic, and, despite ongoing fiscal consolidation, Combined Debt/GDP again inched up last year. We therefore propose a new, post-pandemic fiscal architecture built on five pillars that is anchored in debt and is holistic (encompassing centre and states), dynamic (responsive to changing macro conditions and market signals), sustainable and conservative  --  so as to help create fiscal space to respond to future shocks.
La salud es global ¡o no será!

Introducción
Año 2024, aún saliendo de una situación sanitaria como la que no habíamos vivido nunca, la COVID-19. La historia de la humanidad se escribe de muchas maneras, y también a través de las grandes epidemias y pandemias que nos han azotado desde tiempos inmemoriales. Pero la realidad es que nuestra generación no había experimentado una situación, ni de lejos, similar a la COVID-19; aquellos y aquellas que experimentaron la mal llamada gripe española de 1918 (con subsiguientes olas de contagio en distintas partes del mundo) ya no sufrieron la actual pandemia por el SARS-CoV-2. Por ello, el aprendizaje de cómo manejar, gestionar y contrarrestar una pandemia se tiene que ir aprendiendo sobre la marcha cada vez, con las habilidades, tecnologías y conocimientos de cada momento histórico.

En ese sentido nos podemos sentir afortunados ya que la COVID-19 ha aparecido en un contexto donde el conocimiento científico y las capacidades tecnológicas permitieron el desarrollo de productos vacunales muy efectivos en tiempo récord1. Desde principios de 2021 se han aplicado más de 13.000 millones de dosis vacunales (Organización Mundial de la Salud, OMS, https://covid19.who.int/). Aun así, esta pandemia ha causado cerca de 7 millones de muertes y unos 770 millones de personas infectadas (según datos oficiales de la OMS), además de causar un sinfín de efectos sociales, psicológicos, económicos y de desafío constante de los sistemas sanitarios, tanto de países desarrollados y aún más en países en vías de desarrollo2,3.

Lo mencionado anteriormente se corresponde a las consecuencias de la COVID-19, pero el control efectivo de las epidemias y pandemias reside en el origen, no en la gestión de estas una vez extendidas a nivel regional o mundial4. De ahí que debemos cambiar nuestro paradigma de abordaje de las enfermedades infecciosas, ya que tenemos que pasar de una agenda reactiva a una proactiva.

Published: November 2024

Hospitals as a level of follow-up service after the health center must certainly have better services. Hospitals are a means to produce health degrees for community members. This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality and patient satisfaction on inpatient loyalty in the Hospital Service Industry. From the results of this literature review, the results of the journal above show that the quality of service in the form of tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and emphaty dimensions has a significant effect on patient satisfaction and loyalty. Service quality has a positive effect on patient satisfaction in providing health services. So that the higher the quality of service provided, the higher customer satisfaction will be. The latent variable of satisfaction has a positive relationship with loyalty, meaning that the higher the level of patient satisfaction, the greater the level of loyalty. According to researchers, in the future, hospitals must always provide good quality of service to all patients and always prioritize patient satisfaction so that patients will always visit or be loyal to the hospital.

Published: November 2024

Waste is the result of human activities and comes from a natural process, where waste often causes problems, especially in public places. The market is an important means of trade for the community so that it has the potential to produce quite a lot of waste. The market is a certain place, where sellers and buyers meet, including facilities where sellers can display their merchandise by paying a fee, (Environmental Health Requirements TTU, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia 1993). The research method used is observational with a descriptive approach. Sampling by Randong Sampling, where the sample size obtained was 211 people / traders, the collection was carried out with an observation sheet in the form of a checklist. The results of the observation showed that out of 211 traders, only 2 traders (0.9%) had good category trash containers and 209 traders (99.1%) had sufficient category trash containers, this shows that the existence of good trash containers in Kariango Market is still lacking. The results of data collection in the field, the collection system showed that out of 211 traders (100%) the collection of trash was in a good category.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a queima do biodiesel no motogerador, partindo da sua produção a partir da extração do óleo de amendoim e produção de biodiesel via transesterificação. No estudo avaliou-se a queima de biodiesel de amendoim em um motor gerador utilizando duas cargas elétricas resistivas diferentes, a primeira de 1,5 kW e a segunda de 4,5 kW, e variando as misturas de biodiesel (A10: 10 % de biodiesel de amendoim + 90% de diesel mineral; A20: 20 % de biodiesel de amendoim + 80% de diesel mineral; A30: 30 % de biodiesel de amendoim + 70% de diesel mineral; A40: 40 % de biodiesel de amendoim + 60% de diesel mineral, mais o diesel puro: 100% diesel mineral. O biodiesel de amendoim foi obtido através do processo de transesterificação metílica do óleo de amendoim. O óleo foi obtido através do processo de prensagem a frio do amendoim in natura. O biodiesel de amendoim foi adequado para ser utilizado como combustível, não prejudicando a eficiência energética, nem o consumo de combustível.
O desenvolvimento de puzzles para um jogo digital educativo utilizando a aprendizagem criativa
Authors: Bittencourt Sheisa , Heidrich Regina
Published: November 2024

Este artigo apresenta a metodologia utilizada no desenvolvimento de puzzles para um jogo educativo baseado nos 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da ONU, voltado para estudantes do Ensino Fundamental. A criação dos puzzles envolveu a aplicação da aprendizagem criativa, proposta por Resnick (2020), que enfatiza a experimentação e o "pensar brincando". A metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento do jogo, fundamentada na tentativa e erro, segue uma abordagem dialética, em que contradições inerentes aos fenômenos são exploradas para aperfeiçoar o processo criativo. Além disso, a pesquisa é qualitativa, com observação participante como principal instrumento de coleta de dados, documentando o desenvolvimento dos puzzles por meio de fotos, vídeos e anotações. O trabalho também é caracterizado como ex-post-facto, analisando a experiência após o desenvolvimento dos puzzles. A pesquisa foi planejada para atender às necessidades de um público-alvo específico – estudantes do 8º ano de escolas públicas – e utilizou questionários para adequar o conteúdo ao perfil desses estudantes. Conclui-se que a combinação entre aprendizagem criativa e os ODS da ONU permitiu o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia lúdica e educativa, que visa tanto a solução de problemas quanto a promoção da consciência social e ambiental entre os estudantes.
