Media Narrative: On the Question of Structure and Functions
Authors: Pavlov Dmitrii Nikolaevich , Golovanov Aleksandr Nikolaevich , Tyrkalova Varvara Vyacheslavovna
Published: September 2023

As a research task, the authors made an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of the media narrative in the structural and functional aspect. The selected research material includes the following phenomena: Soviet posters, publications in the mass media (MSK) and videos (motivational content) posted on the TikTok platform. The subject side of the study includes narrative motifs presented in the relevant materials. The relevance of this scientific research is due to the fact that the media narrative has a large "manipulating resource" and can affect the individual or society. The manipulative "power" of the media narrative is increasing in direct proportion to the development of information technologies in modern society. The research methodology is based on the narrative theory of V. Ya. Propp, which involves the decomposition of the plot into composite invariant motifs. The analysis showed that the motive of struggle in the studied media narratives is the key one, it is repeated in all plot constructions - from the narrative of the Soviet poster to modern narrative forms. The importance of this motive is explained by the fact that it is associated with the goals of media exposure, and the recipients begin to reproduce the motives from the materials studied by the authors in reality. That is, we can say that the audience, consuming information containing this kind of media narrative, begins to become a part of it itself, but in reality.

Published: September 2023

This article is devoted to the study and analysis of modern technologies, namely artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool in the work of a translator. The purpose of the study is to find out whether chatbots based on GPT–3.5 technology can be used in translation activities. The article compares the capabilities of chatbots and online text corpora, as well as checks their analytical abilities and ability to rhyme. Dialog assistants are given a task to find information or analyze it based on a query given to them. At the same time, it is checked whether chatbots developed by different companies provide the same information. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the attempt to find a universal tool that can automate the routine work of the translator. A special contribution of the authors of the study is an attempt for the first time to compare and analyze the rapidly developing functionality of chatbots in the context of translation activities and to identify key problems that do not allow the effective use of this technology in translation. As a result, it was determined that the modern GPT language model has many limitations and disadvantages that stop chatbots from becoming a reliable source of information and an efficient translation tool. Problems were identified, the solution of which would make it possible to use Chat GPT and other chatbots in translation activities.
E. F. Rosen in Pushkin's Sovremennik
Authors: Kuts Nikolai Viktorovich
Published: September 2023

The subject of the study is the literary relationship of Baron E. F. Rosen (1800-1860) – poet, playwright, translator and critic, author of the libretto for the opera by M. I. Glinka "Life for the Tsar" (1836) – with the Pushkin circle. The object of the study was the history of Rosen's collaboration in Sovremennik (1836). The material was Rosen's publications in the Pushkin magazine and his correspondence of the 1830s. Special attention is paid to Pushkin's assessments of Rosen's work. Rosen's works published in Sovremennik are analyzed: the article "On Rhyme" and a fragment from the historical tragedy "The Daughter of John III". It is considered which of the writer's materials Pushkin printed and which he rejected, in accordance with the magazine's program. The novelty of the research lies in a holistic analysis of Rosen's participation in Pushkin's Sovremennik, which has not been conducted before. As a result, it turns out that Rosen is close to Pushkin and his entourage in some literary assessments (the problem of rhymeless verse, the work of N. V. Kukolnik). It is shown that Pushkin did not accept Rosen's acrimonious articles, not wanting to turn Sovremennik into a platform for magazine abuse. At the same time, Pushkin was genuinely interested in Rosen's dramatic work. He placed in the magazine an excerpt from the tragedy "The Daughter of John III", in which John III and Aristotle Fioravanti are having a conversation about politics, probably noticing in it a roll call with "Boris Godunov".
Ecosystem rationality is a philosophical discourse of thinking about the modern world and its future
Authors: Plyusnin Lev Vital'evich , Petrova Galina Ivanovna
Published: September 2023

This article considers the search for a specific form of rational thinking about the future to be the subject of research. The object of research, in this regard, is rational thinking in the specifics of its essential characteristics and historical and philosophical forms of manifestation. Ecosystem rationality is proposed and substantiated as a relevant rationality as the methodological position. This study uses the following research methods: system analysis, which provides a holistic vision of a person from the perspective of his activities. This method proposes the concept of ecosystem rationality. System analysis is supplemented in the article by a comparison method, when different types of rationality (classical, non-classical and post-non-classical) are considered in the potential possibilities of their forms to think about the social reality of the future. Based on the generalization of literature, the article captures the tendency of the formation of ecosystem rationality as the form of modern post-non-classical rational thinking that meets the specifics of the study of modern social reality and its future manifestations. The concept is developed, the main characteristics are given, the specific purpose of ecosystem rationality is determined, which, while remaining scientific (that is, showing a rational path to truth), goes beyond the scope of science alone and, based on its epistemological criteria, offers rational ways of thinking about sociality in general. This rational thinking has the ability to be directed to the multi-vector and non-linear nature of social development, the facet nature of a theoretical view that can grasp the network state of the present as a harbinger of the future.
Recollection of the Parisian painters in 1650–1800
Authors: Agratina Elena Evgen'evna
Published: September 2023

The article is dedicated to research of sources and documents linked with recollection of Parisian painters of 1650–1800 by contemporaries and scholars. Since the origin of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture appeared regularly a sum of biographical essays devoted to French academic masters. The texts were created by historiographer of Academy until the middle of the 18th century. Later it were connoisseurs of fine art who continued to produce these writings. The authors were recruited from members of Academy as well as friends and relatives of an artist. After research of such sources and documents, the author strives to define a role of memory and posthumous glory for the most eminent artists and representatives of artistic milieu. The author takes in consideration an image of a Parisian painter displayed before his descendants. The article also treats an idea of personal glory connected with artists’ aim to make the Academy and its pictorial school flourish and rule throughout Europe. The research novelty is based on the lack of fundamental publications on the topic in Russian and Western historiography. The relevance of this study is caused by recent trends of social art history interested in everyday life and worldview of a real artist in the real world. Author’s careful work with authentic documents helped to trace a certain scheme used in such biographical writings. They contain biographical data, a tribute to personal qualities of the late artist and, finally, a scrupulous description of his works. The texts written by artist’s friends and relatives are usually more sentimental and have a touch of biographical novel. Virtually, both of these genres were intended not only to keep memory of artist’s creative heritage but also to represent his individuality. In doing so the biographers of any artist not only aimed to compose several individual vitae but also to create a panoramic view of French school of painting as the leader of artistic progress of the time.
Historical portrait of the first prima donna of Baroque opera: Vittoria Archilei
Authors: Kruglova Elena
Published: September 2023

The name of Vittoria Archilei has entered the history of vocal art as the first opera prima donna in a new style of singing for the turn of the XVI-XVII centuries. During her lifetime, the singer enjoyed great popularity. Outstanding composers G. Caccini, J. Peri, S. D'India, E. de’ Cavalieri, etc. they admired her skill, noting the extraordinary tenderness of the sound of her voice, combined with its bright virtuosity. Archilei performance was significantly different from other singers, her contemporaries. It is not by chance that J. Peri calls the prima donna the Euterpe of his time. The article presents a creative portrait of Vittoria Archilei, the first brilliant interpreter of monodic music, an outstanding singer who created a new method of singing women. The methodological basis of the work is the principle of historicism. The cultural and historical research method was used. The biographical reconstruction was made on the basis of source studies with reviews of the singer's contemporaries, letters, music-critical articles. In Russian musicology, this article is the first special publication dedicated to the creative path of Vittoria Archilei. This material will be useful for musicians, singers performing old music, for its stylistically correct interpretation, as well as in training courses on the history of vocal performance at vocal departments of music colleges and faculties of universities.
Pancreatic autoantibodies in individuals with a clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Ferrell Jeffrey Ernest , Kohn Michael A. , Srinivasan Shylaja
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

It can be challenging to accurately diagnose type 2 diabetes (T2D) in children based on clinical features alone. We aimed to describe pediatric patients with a clinical diagnosis of T2D who are positive for pancreatic autoantibodies and compare their clinical features to patients with T2D without autoantibodies.

Material and Methods:

This cross-sectional study and medical record review included patients aged 10–30 years with T2D seen at our pediatric diabetes clinic between January 01, 2013, and December 31, 2020. We compared the characteristics of autoantibody-positive patients with autoantibody-negative patients using Chi-square tests for binary variables and t-tests for continuous variables.

Results:

Eleven out of 87 (12.6%) patients with a clinical diagnosis of T2D had positive autoantibody results. The groups with and without antibodies were not significantly different in terms of age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) Z-score. However, the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) closest to the time of the first autoantibody test was significantly lower in the autoantibody-positive group. Two of the 11 antibody-positive patients had two positive autoantibodies and one had four positive autoantibodies. The other eight patients were positive for one autoantibody only. One of the 11 antibody-positive patients had an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

Conclusion:

While age, sex, and BMI were similar in both groups, patients with autoantibodies had significantly lower HbA1c at the time of antibody testing and one patient went into DKA. Autoantibodies should be measured in all patients diagnosed with diabetes to avoid the consequences of potential misclassification.
New RM734-like Fluid Ferroelectrics Enabled through Protecting Group Free Synthesis
Authors: Gibb Calum , Mandle Richard
Published: September 2023

We report a novel synthetic procedure for making analogues of the widely studied ferroelectric nematogen RM734. Our new procedure focuses on building materials starting from the nitro-terminus and eschewing protecting groups, in contrast to previously reported syntheses. This new synthetic approach confers two principal advantages: firstly, the synthesis of the variants described herein is expedient, being a single step as opposed to three or more via the classical route. Secondly, by forgoing the use of benzyl groups as utilised in the original synthesis we can include functionality that is incompatible with hydrogenolysis conditions (e.g. olefins, late halogens, unsaturated heterocycles). Several of the RM734-like materials we report exhibit ferroelectric nematic phases, and we rationalise the behaviour of these materials with aid of electronic structure calculations and potential energy surface scans.
PDI-functionalised glass beads: efficient, metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysts suitable for flow photochemistry
Authors: Ali Hamza , Ahmed Ifty , Robertson Karen , Lanterna Anabel
Published: September 2023

Perylene diimides (PDI) have an extraordinary ability to activate both energy and electron transfer process upon light excitation, however, their extremely low solubility has hindered their wide use as photocatalysts. Here, we show a series of supports developed to anchor PDI and to enable its use as a heterogeneous photocatalyst in diverse reactor set-ups. Inert, easy-to-handle, glass microspheres of various morphological and chemical properties were chemically functionalised with PDI to form an inorganic-organic hybrid material. Using the photo-oxidation of n-butyl sulfide as a benchmark reaction for the synthesis of sulfoxides, we show that immobilised PDI are highly active, outperforming reported homogeneous photosensitisers, and capable of reuse in both batch and flow reactors. Transferring the process from batch to flow resulted in a 10-fold reduction in irradiation time and an increase in the space-time-yield by a factor of 10 (0.04 vs 0.38 mmol-1 h-1 mL-1 batch vs flow). This work combines the remarkable photocatalytic properties of PDI with inert, easy to handle glass beads, producing hybrid materials that are reusable and can be adapted for performing heterogeneous photocatalysis in a range of scalable photochemical reactors.
Interfacial and intrinsic molecular effects on the phase separation/transition of heteroprotein condensates
Authors: Nobeyama Tomohiro , Yoshida Toya , shiraki Kentaro
Published: September 2023

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) and droplet formation by LLPS are key concepts used to explain compartmentalization in living cells. Protein contact to a membrane surface is considered an important process for protein organization in a liquid phase or during transition to a solid or liquid dispersion state. The direct experimental comprehensive investigation is; however, not performed on the surface–droplet interaction and phase transition. In the present study, we constructed simple and reproducible experiments to analyze the structural transition of aggregates and droplets in an ovalbumin (OVA) and lysozyme (LYZ) complex on glass slides with various coatings. The difference in droplet-surface interaction may only be important in the boundary region between aggregates and droplets of a protein mixture, as shown in the phase diagram. Co-aggregates of OVA-LYZ changed to droplet-like circular forms during incubation. In contrast, free L-lysine resulted in the uniform droplet-to-solid phase separation at lower concentrations and dissolved any structures at higher concentrations. These results represent the first phase-diagram-based analysis of the phase transition of droplets in a protein mixture and a comparison of surface-surface and small molecular-droplet structure interactions.

Authors: Wittmann Lukas , Neugebauer Hagen , Grimme Stefan , Bursch Markus
Published: September 2023

The regularized and restored semi-local meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation functional r²SCAN [J. W. Furness, A. D. Kaplan, J. Ning, J. P. Perdew, and J. Sun, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 11, 8208–8215 (2020)] is used to create adiabatic-connection-derived global double-hybrid functionals employing spin-opposite-scaled MP2. The 0-DH, CIDH, QIDH, and 0-2 type double-hybrid functionals are assessed as a starting point for further modification. Variants with 50% and 69% Hartree--Fock exchange (HFX) are empirically optimized (Pr²SCAN50 and Pr²SCAN69), and the effect of MP2-regularization (κPr²SCAN50) and range-separated HFX (ωPr²SCAN50) is evaluated. All optimized functionals are combined with the state-of-the-art London dispersion corrections D4 and NL. The resulting functionals are assessed comprehensively for their performance on main-group and metal-organic thermochemistry on 90 different benchmark sets containing 25800 data points. These include the extensive GMTKN55 database, additional sets for main-group chemistry, and multiple sets for transition-metal complexes including the ROST61, the MOR41, and the MOBH35 sets. As the main target of this study is the development of a broadly applicable, robust functional with low empiricism, special focus is put on variants with moderate amounts of HFX (50%) which are compared to the so far successful PWPB95-D4 (50% HFX, 20% MP2 correlation) functional. The overall best variant, ωPr²SCAN50-D4, performs well on main-group and metal-organic thermochemistry, followed by the Pr²SCAN69-D4 that offers a slight edge for metal-organic thermochemistry, and by the low HFX global double-hybrid Pr²SCAN50-D4 that performs robustly across all tested sets. All four optimized functionals, Pr²SCAN69-D4, Pr²SCAN50-D4, κPr²SCAN50-D4, and ωPr²SCAN50-D4 outperform the PWPB95-D4 functional.
Selectivity of Grignard reagent formation – from semi-batch to continuous lab and pilot scale
Authors: Deitmann Eva , Dahms Kai , Maskos Michael , Ziegenbalg Dirk , Menges-Flanagan Gabriele
Published: September 2023

The formation of Grignard reagents from metallic magnesium and a halide is often accompanied by the formation of the Wurtz coupling product, an undesired side product formed by the reaction of a Grignard reagent molecule and a halide molecule. By using a scale-up approach from semi-batch type synthesis to continuous lab and pilot scale for various Grignard reagents, it is demonstrated that a continuous production process can improve Grignard reagent selectivity and reduce Wurtz coupling.
Gold-Catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reaction
Authors: Du Wenqian , Zhao Fen , Yang Rongjie , Xia Zhonghua
Published: September 2023

A gold-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction facilitated by the ligand-enabled Au(I)/Au(III) redox catalysis was developed. The elementary organometallic step of transmetalation has been realized in the redox catalytic cycle in gold chemistry, and overcomes the limitations of previously known transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions of alkyl organometallic reagents, such as the low reactivity of transmetalation and susceptibility to β-hydride elimination. This gold-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) coupling reaction allows a variety of chain alkyl and methyl trifluoroborates to react with aryl and vinyl iodides under very mild conditions, which has the promise for late-stage application of complicated biomolecules.

Authors: Jiang Hongli , M. Mehr S. Hessam
Published: September 2023

The availability, portability, and low cost of electronic devices have made them a prime candidate for the rapid detection of chemical particles. Here we designed a chemical particle detection system based on a Raspberry Pi camera to detect micron droplets generated by ultrasonic atomizers. Through the analysis of sample photos and droplet size, we found that the detection system could clearly image micron-sized particles and accurately measure the particle size. The devices used in this system were all low-cost widely accessible digital cameras, so this detection technique could meet the requirements of low-cost and rapid detection technology, and widely deployed as a practical readout method in chemistry experiments.
Efficient regio- and stereo-selective C-H bond hydroxylation of steroids using an engineered heme-thiolate peroxygenase biocatalyst
Authors: Akter Jinia , Hayball Eva , Bell Stephen
Published: September 2023

A crucial reaction in chemical synthesis is the activation of unactivated carbon-hydrogen bonds in complex molecules. We demonstrate the regio- and stereo-selective hydroxlation of the steroids progesterone and androstenedione using the peroxygenase activity of an engineered bacterial cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP154C8. By replacing a single amino acid of the I-helix we change this monooxygenase enzyme into a peroxygenase, enabling the efficient and selective biocatalytic formation of the 16α-hydroxy steroid metabolite.

Published: September 2023

Using dasatinib linked to E3 ligase ligands, we identified a potent and selective dual Csk/c-Src PROTAC degrader. We then replaced dasatinib the c-Src directed ligand with a conformation-selective analog that stabilizes the aC-helix out conformation of c-Src. Using the C-helix out ligand, we identified a PROTAC that is potent and selective for c-Src. Using our c-Src PROTACs, we identified pharmacological advantages to c-Src degradation compared to inhibition with respect to cancer cell proliferation.
International Transfer Pricing and Performance of Supranational Companies in Nigeria West Africa
Authors: OSHO Augustine Ejededawe , ADEWOLE Felix Ibukun
Published: September 2023

The study examined the relationship between international transfer pricing and the performance of supranational companies in Nigeria. The study used secondary data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), the World Bank Statistical Bulletin, and annual reports and accounts of the sampled multinational companies. The study used panel regression analysis. The results of the study showed that interest rates and import duties have a significant and positive effect on the performance of supranational corporations in Nigeria. The study further found that corporate income tax and exchange rate have a significant and negative impact on the performance of supranational corporations in Nigeria. Based on the results, the study concluded that international transfer pricing has a significant impact on the performance of supranational companies in Nigeria, particularly when international transfer pricing is measured using interest rates, exchange rates, corporate income taxes and import duties; while performance is measured by profit after tax. The study therefore recommended that supranational companies should develop a system to defend themselves against exchange rate and corporate taxes caused by unforeseen exchange rate movements and double taxation.

PERCEIVED EMPLOYEE FINANCIAL WELL-BEING IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY IN THE 4IR PERIOD: ASSESSING PREDICTORS’ IMPACTS
Authors: Adekanmbi Foluso , Ukpere Wilfred
Published: September 2023

This paper evaluates the influences of financial behavior, work engagement, and work engagement on financial well-being within Nigeria’s Banking Industry. Its sample was taken from four (4) banks in the Nigerian states of Lagos and Oyo. They include First Bank of Nigeria, First City Monument Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa Plc, and Zenith Bank Plc. The present researcher dispersed the questionnaires at random for this cross-sectional survey. Nevertheless, 382 of the 400 questionnaires sent met the criteria for investigation and were examined using SPSS version 28. The present investigation conducted standard multiple regression and zero-order correlation analyses to test the stated hypotheses and conclude that positive financial behaviors and employee work engagement considerably increase financial well-being. In Nigeria's banking industry, financial stress, on the other hand, worsens financial well-being in the 4IR period. It further establishes a link between financial behavior and financial stress and a good correlation between financial behavior and work engagement. Furthermore, the study discovered a negative association between financial stress and work involvement in Nigeria's banking industry during the 4IR period. It also confirms that work engagement, financial stress, and financial behaviors substantially determine financial well-being. Consequently, this paper advocates banks helping employees become more financially literate and responsible by offering financial education to their staff. Also, employers must take action to reduce financial stress among employees. Resources and assistance can help reduce financial stress and enhance employee well-being in the present 4IR period. Moreover, banks may use tactics including offering chances for employee growth, encouraging work-life balance, and cultivating a positive work environment to boost engagement in the banking industry.
A DECONSTRUCTION OF FRUSTRATION-AGGRESSION THEORY OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA
Authors: Etim Frank , Ukpere Wilfred , Adekanmbi Foluso
Published: September 2023

The work set out to deconstruct and reconstruct Ted Roberts Gurr’s (1970) theory of relative deprivation, frustration-aggression as contained in his work ‘Why Men Rebel’ (1970). The study used descriptive research design and evaluated the capacity of the theory, which was created to explain political violence in Africa and Asia in the colonial era, to also explicate why intense relative deprivation, frustration and aggression arising from the avalanche of poor governance in postcolonial African states such as Nigeria and many others, have not culminated into political violence and rebellion. The study presented numerous data obtained through observation and analysis of events in Nigeria, Africa and case-studies of American, French, English and Russian rebellions and distilled qualitative data which indicated lack of association between the variables. The application of the study design revealed first the state as the source of relative deprivation, frustration and aggressions of the citizenry when they are denied access to public values, which they feel entitled to. Secondly, it further discovered that there are no direct correlations between relative deprivation, frustration and aggression as initially conveyed by the theory since 1970. Furthermore, it exposed that there is an intervening variables identified as ‘Social Movements’ or ‘Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), which harness relative deprivation, intense frustration and aggressions from the sufferers and convert them to other set-of-action, which may not be political violence and rebellions but could be advocacy towards the expansion of the mechanism for supply of public good or values and to make it accessible to many as a means of addressing relative deprivation. The study concluded in the light of its findings, that the initial theory requires deconstruction and reconstruction to include ‘Social Movement’ as a principal component. It is only then that it could be applied in the analysis of issues in postcolonial African and Asian states

Published: September 2023

Emotion, a representation of the human state of mind, plays an important role in day-to-day human life and helps one make good decisions. A typical way to understand human emotion is by observing a person's facial expressions and modulation of speech, and it can be categorized as sad, angry, happy, fearful, and so on. Emotion recognition using Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems is beneficial for patients suffering from paralysis, autism, and mental retardation who cannot express their emotions like regular people. In this paper, after analyzing several data mining algorithms and various Neural Network models such as Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), and the Bi-directional RNN it has been proposed that Recurrent Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM) based emotion recognition using Electroencephalography (EEG) signals provides a better result. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce models which can work better than the existing ones on the K-EmoCon dataset. The metrics used in this paper are valence and arousal. The proposed RNN-LSTM model achieves a valence accuracy of 69.85% and an arousal accuracy of 45.07%. This model improves the accuracy of emotion detection on the K-EmoCon dataset. This approach achieves 4% more accuracy when compared to existing models such as the Convolution-augmented Transformer.

Authors: Hao Jiang  , Lingyu Liu  , Ling Hu
Published: September 2023

The ESG score system is a fundamental component of the green financial system that is essential in promoting corporate environmental progress. In this work, we investigate the micro-environmental impact of ESG scores using panel fixed effects models. We examine the processes underlying the influence of ESG scores on the performance of corporate green innovation, as well as any potential inequalities in this impact under different moderating factors. To conduct our analysis, we use data from Chinese listed A-shares on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2010 to 2019. Our study demonstrates a relationship between corporate green innovation and ESG ratings, indicating that higher ESG ratings assist businesses in achieving better green innovation results. This beneficial effect is evident both numerically and qualitatively, and it continues to hold up even after being put through a number of demanding tests. Additionally, we pinpoint two main ways that ESG encourages corporate green innovation: by boosting government-enterprise ties and strengthening corporate investment efficiency. Additionally, we note that while business characteristics aligned with sustainability further enhance the favorable influence of ESG on green innovation performance, characteristics linked to ecologically detrimental activities impede the contribution of ESG to green innovation. Our study adds to the body of knowledge already available on corporate environmental performance and green finance by offering empirical insights that can help enhance corporate environmental development and improve the ESG rating system.

This study attempts to investigate students’ learning outcomes in English Intensive Program through Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) for Railway Mechanical Technology. The program was designed as a TOEFL preparation class that utilized Google Form, Quizizz, and Kahoot! As game-based learning (MALL platform). It was a case study on the 3rd year students of the Indonesian Railway Polytechnic (N=46). The observation was conducted during 20 meetings (40 hours). The data were collected through pre-test and post-test, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, Pearson r correlation, and Cohen d effect size. The passing grade score determined by the college (480) was also an additional consideration analysis. The results indicate significant impacts and a large effect on students’ learning outcomes after joining the English Intensive Program through MALL. Nonetheless, the English Intensive Program implementing MALL had a moderate correlation and was less effective in enhancing students’ learning outcomes. These findings shed light on the benefits and constraints of implementing MALL in the English Intensive Program.

This paper describes an investigation about the relationship between students' writing knowledge and second language writing performance. Metacognitive and metalinguistic knowledge contribute significantly to writing performance. As a foreign language, 78 undergraduate students took a writing knowledge class and a writing proficiency test. The knowledge process has a strong influence on writing performance. Except for vocabulary knowledge, other aspects and sub-aspects had no significant effect on writing performance. Vocabulary knowledge had a negative impact on writing performance. In other words, while some aspects and sub-aspects of writing knowledge did not significantly influence writing performance, others did. The pedagogical implication is that all aspects of writing knowledge must be explicitly taught in writing instruction in order to improve students' writing quality. However, there must be a priority of aspect as the core of the material to be taught, with the other aspects and sub-aspects serving as complementary materials. This could result in a moderate relationship finding and a low percentage of contribution. Undergraduate English as a Foreign Language students from various institutions and provinces may have varying levels of language proficiency and writing skills.
Grammarly and Grammatical Errors Reduction: A Case for Non-Native English Teachers’ Professional Learning

Published: September 2023

Grammar has long been a source of aggravation for anyone learning a second language, not just English language learners, but also non-native English teachers. People can now employ Grammarly to correct their grammar mistakes, owing to the sophistication of modern technology. The debate over whether teachers use Grammarly as part of their professional development is ongoing. The purpose of this study was to identify the grammatical errors made by non-native English teachers when writing narrative texts before and after Grammarly checked them. The participants in this qualitative study were 24 English teachers from the English Teacher Association of Buleleng Regency in Bali, Indonesia. This study employed the surface approach taxonomy to analyze the grammatical errors and interviewed the teachers to elicit factors that contribute to grammatical errors. This study found that the most common type of misformation error, specifically the alternating form error, was found in both Grammarly-corrected and Grammarly-uncorrected texts. Furthermore, intralingual factors were responsible for the majority of errors. The integration of Grammarly into teachers' professional learning is discussed.
Modeling of conversion coefficients of phytomass fractions to determine the biological productivity of stands

The purpose of the research is to develop a multidimensional model of conversion coefficients of phytomass fractions for pine forests of the coniferous-deciduous forests of the European part of the Russian Federation. The approved standards are the values of the coefficients averaged over the age groups of stands related to different forest-forming species growing in the three natural and climatic zones of Russia. In contrast to the simplified approach to determining the biological productivity of stands by the values of conversion coefficients averaged in age groups, the most scientifically sound approach based on methods of statistical modeling of the relationship of phytomass fractions with inventory indicators of stands is shown. The obtained regression models, interconnected with the data of regional tables of the growth course of different authors, made it possible to obtain multidimensional models, and as a result, the most accurate standards for conversion coefficients. The differences between the two methodological approaches are confirmed by the example of pine stands. The results of assessing the accuracy of determining conversion coefficients indicate a significant advantage of an approach that takes into account, along with age, the average height of stands. At the same time, it should be pointed out that the age itself, and even more so the age group, which is the basis of the first approach, is not able to reliably characterize the accuracy of obtaining the values of conversion coefficients (R2 = 0.908) with an error ES = ± 35.4%. As for the influence of the average height of stands on the conversion coefficients, it is more reliable (R2 = 0.990) with an error ES = ± 11.5%. The specified accuracy of the first two models is significantly inferior to the combined influence of the predictors indicated in them (R2 = from 0.998 to 0.999) with an error ES = ± 1.76% for trunks, ES = ± 1.34% for roots, ES = ± 2.03% for branches, ES = ± 3.7% for needles, ES = ± 1.19% for bark.
