Authors: Matole Dr. Harrison
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore on how to manage a reputation in a crisis and how communication channels impact trust.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to managing reputation in a crisis and how communication channels impact trust. Preliminary empirical review revealed that the effectiveness of using multimedia channels, such as video and infographics, in crisis communication and had enormous impact on trust. Multimedia formats were found to enhance comprehension and trust in crisis messages.
Recommendations: Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT), Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) and Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model (IMB Model) may be used to anchor future studies on how to manage a reputation in a crisis using communication channels to impact trust. The integration of multimedia elements, such as videos, infographics, and visual aids, into crisis communication strategies should be considered. Visual content enhances stakeholder comprehension and fosters trust in the information conveyed. Internal communication channels should not be underestimated, particularly in maintaining trust among employees. In times of crisis, employees can serve as powerful advocates or detractors based on their perception of the organization's actions and transparency.

Unsupervised Representation Learning using Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network
Authors: Tarek Iftakher Hasan Mohammed , Rahman Mohammed Mahmudur , Zaki Zulkifly Mohd
Published: October 2024

In recent years, representational learning has attracted considerable attention. However, unsupervised representation learning has received less attention compared to supervised representation learning. This paper introduces a combination of a deep neural network (DNN) and a generative adversarial network (GAN) that can learn features through unsupervised learning. Essentially, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is a deep learning architecture that engages two neural networks in a framework similar to a zero-sum game. Generating new, synthetic data that resembles a known data distribution is the aim of GANs. In June 2014, Ian Goodfellow and associates first developed the idea of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The research used a new type of GAN model which is called Wasserstein GAN. There are some distinct differences between traditional GAN and Wasserstein GAN. This paper highlights the differences and benefits of using Wasserstein GAN, as well as the architecture of Wasserstein GAN. This study trained the model on an image dataset to extract features, and subsequently tested it on another dataset, demonstrating that the GAN model learns a hierarchy of representation from object parts in the discriminator. The purpose of this paper is to use unsupervised learning like Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) for feature extraction from unlabeled dataset.
An Algorithm Based on An Efficient Cost Model to Form Learning Groups
Authors: Ben Ammar Ali , Minalla Amir Abdalla
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this research is to form learning groups that are intra-homogeneous (a high level of similarity across student GPAs inside a group), inter-homogeneous (similarity or balance in the degree of homogeneity between groups), and balanced in size. The algorithm proposed for this purpose treats the learning group formation as an assignment-type optimization problem where it seeks to find a feasible least-cost assignment of a given set of students to a given set of learning groups. It is referred to as GAGF (Generalized Assignment Strategy for Group Formation). It is based on an efficient cost model, which performs three tasks: measuring the cost of assigning students to a learning group, relating each improvement in assignment cost to increased intra-group homogeneity and group size balance, and bringing the intra-homogeneity of the groups to a reference value (a specific level of homogeneity), which improves inter-homogeneity. Experimental results have shown that the GAGF algorithm is effective at constructing intra- and inter-homogeneous learning groups with balanced sizes. It was found that using GAGF attained an improvement of more than 29% in intra-group homogeneity when compared to both related work and self-formation methods. It significantly improved inter-group homogeneity, outperforming related works by 79.75%.

Authors: Hussain Abrar , Khan muddasir Ahamed , K S Ayub Ahamed , K Kousarziya
Published: October 2024

This study compares traditional credit scoring techniques with artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies to investigate how credit scoring models have evolved. Logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis are two statistical models that have been widely used in traditional credit scoring. While these models are reliable, they frequently have difficulty capturing complex, non-linear data patterns. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches, which include machine learning algorithms like ensemble methods, decision trees, and neural networks, offer a sophisticated substitute by efficiently handling big information and identifying intricate patterns. This research uses data from a large financial organization to compare several ways based on how effective, predictable, and able they are to manage different types of data. To assess the efficacy of the models, critical performance metrics such as the F1-score, precision, recall, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve are employed. As evidenced by the data, AI-driven techniques can revolutionize credit scoring procedures as they perform better in predicted accuracy and resilience than conventional models. In order to enhance decision-making processes, financial institutions must adopt these cutting-edge techniques, as this research highlights the revolutionary impact of AI on assessing financial risk.

Authors: А. К. Бакажанова  , А. Е. Сагимбаева  , Р. А. Шоканов
Published: October 2024

Технологизация образования является особо релевантной темой в педагогической литературе и практике как минимум последнего десятилетия. Измерение умений потенциальных и действующих учителей в проведении занятий с использованием технологий имеет важное значение для адресного конструирования соответствующих мероприятий по профессиональному развитию. С конца 2000-х годов для оценки навыков учителей в обучении с использованием технологий часто используется концепция технологических, педагогических и предметных знаний. Однако до сих пор оценка соответствующих параметров TPACK проводилась в основном с помощью предметно-неспецифических субъективных шкал. Цель текущего исследования – разработка и непосредственная валидация объективного химико-специфического инструмента для измерения знаний о технологиях будущих учителей химии. Для этого мы разработали предварительный пул заданий открытого типа, который был подвергнут экспертной оценке, скорректирован и отправлен на пилотное внедрение. Окончательная версия теста была имплементирована среди 127 студентов-педагогов. Результаты тестирования подтвердили внутреннюю согласованность и конвергентную валидность трёхфакторного инструмента, состоящего из 12 пунктов. Данная работа вносит ценный вклад в исследования в области образования, предоставляя полезный инструмент для неискажённой оценки возможностей отдельно взятых педагогов. Ключевые слова: модель TPACK, тест, валидация, будущие учителя химии, педагогическое образование, цифровые технологии.

Published: October 2024

В данной статье проведен сравнительный анализ наукометрических показателей вузов Казахстана, России и США в контексте их соотношения с представленностью в ведущих мировых рейтингах университетов. Согласно проведенному анализу показателей в научной базе SciVal и сопоставления их с позициями вузов данных стран в рейтинге QS WUR, утверждается, что казахстанские университеты стали экспериментальной площадкой для реализации так называемой концепции «ускоренные университеты», в рамках которой с целью вхождения и продвижения в мировых рейтингах конкурентоспособности университетов применяется и воплощается определенная стратегия университетов, ориентированная на быстрые достижения индикаторов международных рейтингов конкурентоспособности вузов, что в свою очередь ведет к неустойчивости позиции и модели развития вуза, его представленности на мировой арене. Стремление подогнать KPI ППС и АУП вуза к индикаторам рейтинга, в результате выстраивает временные механизмы достижения показателей рейтинговых агентств внутри университетов, которые системно не влияют на саму экосистему вуза и его производных, его инновации и научную производительность. Ярким свидетельством таких «перекосов» в политике университетов является корреляция показателей по публикациям в хищнических журналах именно в первые годы вступления казахстанских вузов в рейтинги. Представленность вузов в мировых рейтингах конкурентоспособности университетов является значимой частью академического превосходства вузов. Соответственно, эта тема является весьма актуальной в контексте реализации Концепции развития высшего образования и науки РК на 2023–2029 гг., которая включает цель создания Центров Академического Превосходства в Казахстане. Соответственно выстраивание устойчивой модели казахстанских университетов в мировых рейтингах глобальной конкурентоспособности является важной задачей, где наукометрические показатели вузов занимает одну из наиболее весомых частей. Ключевые слова: наукометрия, глобальные рейтинги, конкурентоспособность университетов, наука, Казахстан, устойчивость.

THE ROLE OF CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS IN TEACHING TURKISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF POST-METHOD PEDAGOGY
Authors: Daurenbek S.  B. , Shayakhmetova D.B.
Published: October 2024

Language learning is becoming increasingly important in the current field of Intercultural communication. As a result, educators and experts face challenges in deciding which teaching methods to use when teaching a second foreign language. To address this issue, it is crucial to conduct new researches from theory to practice or from practice to theory, based on the fundamental principles of the post-method pedagogy, the learning environment, learners’ needs, and teacher’s professional competencies. Contrastive analysis is a method that provides instruction based on the nature of the language while also addressing the needs of students in solving problems encountered by Kazakh learners when studying Turkish as a foreign language. At this stage, the aim of this study is to determine the significance of contrastive analysis within the post-method framework. The research is based on a qualitative research design. Additionally, a semi-structured interview form was used to achieve the study’s objective. The interviews involved 15 students learning Turkish as a foreign language at the Faculty of Philology, Abai KazNPU. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis based on the “code-category-theme” approach with the MaxQDA 24.4.0 program. The findings revealed that the method supports post-method strategies such as minimizing perceptual mismatches, enhancing language awareness, activating intuitive heuristics, integrating language skills, supporting learner autonomy, and raising cultural awareness, thereby making the learning process effective, simple, and suited to learners’ needs. These results are expected to be valuable for both theorists and practitioners in foreign language education during curriculum development.
KARL ORFF AND SHINICHI SUZUKI ON THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC EDUCATION
Authors: Kulmanova Sh.B. , Kuramys A. , Popkova E.S.
Published: October 2024

In this article the authors consider pedagogical concepts of Karl Orff (Germany) and Shinichi Suzuki (Japan), regarding music education of young children. As is known, they dedicated their lives to the musical and aesthetic education of children and made an invaluable contribution in world music pedagogy. Leading scientists and researchers highly rate their activities. The article presents an analysis of scientific sources, brief biographical data and information. In particular, it is reveals that the creative atmosphere in his family influenced the becoming of K. Orff as a composer, musician and teacher. The desire for improvisation, composing music, poems and stories, staging theatrical performances became the core that contributed to the emergence of an integral system of music-aesthetic education of children called «Orff-pedagogy». Its basic principle defined by the concept of «learning-doing creating». Various types of musical activities, on which he relied in his work, aimed to emotional-creative and moral-aesthetic education of the younger generation.The uniqueness of Suzuki's method emphasized by the necessity of forming creative activity in the process of musical-performance activity, in particular, in playing the violin, from the earliest childhood. The materials of the article also allow us to understand that Suzuki's "method of talent education" implies: reliance on the belief, regardless of the child's capabilities, that every child has musical abilities; manifestation of the teacher's love for young performers; training them to creative labor; joint work of the teacher and parents in the musical education of children; manifestation of care and mutual assistance.In spite of the fact that K. Orff and S. Suzuki are representatives of different ethnic groups, cultures and traditions, but their pedagogical views have much in common. This is, above all, the manifestation of great love for children, the desire to bring them up to be creatively active not only in the process of communicating with music, but also in their relationship with the world around.

Authors: Gielen Helga
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this paper is to explain the path this Long Covid patient took to become 100 % cured from Long COVID.. Certainly in the early years of the Covid 19 pandemic, Long COVID was not yet well known and there was no recognized treatment for Long COVID. Even today, there are no validated effective treatments. This women was healthy prior to the infection and did not suffer from chronic conditions. Long COVID turned out to be a rather neurological/immunological disorder in this PostLong COVID patient (from the end of Feb. '20 to Oct. ‘23). Promising positive results, via a new 'soft trial approach' of the autonomic nervous system out of balance, have led to a cure for the Long COVID symptoms with, among other things, PEM. This after 3.5 years.Since then, until today, September 2024, there has been no relapse. She has been 100% active again since the summer of 2023 as she was before the first Covid infection.
DAPLSR: Data Augmentation Partial Least Squares Regression Model via Manifold Optimization
Authors: Chen Haoran , Liu Jiapeng , Wang Jiafan , Shi Wenjun
Published: October 2024

Traditional Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) models frequently underperform when handling data characterized by uneven categories. To address the issue, this paper proposes a Data Augmentation Partial Least Squares Regression (DAPLSR) model via manifold optimization. The DAPLSR model introduces the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to increase the number of samples and utilizes the Value Difference Metric (VDM) to select the nearest neighbor samples that closely resemble the original samples for generating synthetic samples. In solving the model, in order to obtain a more accurate numerical solution for PLSR, this paper proposes a manifold optimization method that uses the geometric properties of the constraint space to improve model degradation and optimization. Comprehensive experiments show that the proposed DAPLSR model achieves superior classification performance and outstanding evaluation metrics on various datasets, significantly outperforming existing methods.

Published: October 2024

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing cyber liability insurance (CLI) by addressing key challenges in underwriting, risk assessment, and claims management. As cyber-attacks become more frequent and complex, the demand for effective CLI solutions has surged. Traditional insurance practices often fall short in this rapidly evolving landscape. Blockchain offers a decentralized, secure, and transparent approach, enhancing the accuracy of risk assessments and preventing fraudulent claims. By maintaining an immutable ledger of historical claims, blockchain allows for better comparison of new claims against past data. Additionally, smart contracts within blockchain frameworks can automate claims processing, reducing administrative tasks and speeding up resolutions. Blockchain also enables decentralized, peer-to-peer insurance platforms, allowing multiple insurers to pool resources and share risks in a transparent, efficient manner. This study explores how blockchain can transform CLI, improving efficiency and security across the industry.

Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in the modern film industry, revolutionizing production processes and redefining audience experiences. This study delves into the mechanisms through which AI advancement impacts film firm performance, with a focus on the mediating roles of innovation speed and quality, and the moderating effect of human-machine collaboration. Employing a resource-based view, we construct a moderated mediation model and analyze data from 355 global film firms. Our findings reveal that AI advancement positively influences film firm performance, with innovation quality serving as a significant mediator. However, the mediating role of innovation speed is not pronounced. Moreover, the degree of human-machine collaboration positively moderates the relationships between AI advancement and both innovation speed and quality. However, its moderating role between AI advancement and firm performance is not significant. The study underscores the theoretical and practical implications of utilizing advanced AI to foster innovation and competitive advantage in film firms.
