MUSIC AND SONG TOOLS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT FOR YOUNG LEARNERS: OPPORTUNITIES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Kostikova Іlona , Jiang Haozhe
Published: February 2024

One of the interesting tools of learning at English lessons is music and songs. Their purpose as a didactic tool is to develop English language competence, to impact on the emotional and sensory sphere of young learners, it is like a game for quick studying of learning material, raising interest, curiosity, enthusiasm at English lessons. The purpose of the research is to characterize the use of music and song tools at English lessons with the possibility of using digital technologies. The tasks of the research are to analyze different authors’ approaches to defining the basics of music and song tools; outline their influence on various aspects of the language; give examples of digital technologies practice using music and song material at English lessons. The results of the research show that music and song tools are teaching tools based on the introduction of rhythmic song material in teaching English for young learners. The use of chants contributes to the contextual introduction of lexical units and speech patterns, easier and faster memorization of English language material. At an English language lesson, it is necessary to use digital technologies to create an artificial English-speaking environment using authentic songs from websites, YouTube, Tik Tok, etc. When using digital technologies, an English language teacher in primary grades should follow three simple stages while implementing a song: pre-listening tasks, while-listening tasks, after-listening tasks as singing a song, creative tasks. Some songs provide the opportunity to perform various physical movements while singing, that relieves physical tension during English lessons (songs like "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", "Can You Clap" and others). Therefore, the use of digital technologies does not involve only learning young learners in front of computer screens, it should be combined with the physical movements for young learners. It is recommended using a variety of digital resources at primary English lessons, such as the British Council's LearnEnglish Kids resource with lots of songs and tasks. So, the conclusion is digital technologies contribute to the use of music and song as a learning tool that expands the motivation of young learners and contributes to the development of English language competence.

Published: February 2024

Artificial intelligence is one of the leading technologies today, which is rapidly spreading into all spheres of human activities including education. In 2023, GPT chat was ranked fourth in the Top 100 Tools for Learning rating, which demonstrates the powerful potential of artificial intelligence tools for the development of innovative processes in education. Accordingly, educators need to understand what artificial intelligence is, its features, and how it can be used to replace the routine activities of both teachers and students in teaching and learning. The authors conducted a survey of primary school teachers about their understanding of this notion, ways to use it as their assistant, advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence, and prospects for its development and application in all areas of human activity. The level of respondents' knowledge and skills in artificial intelligence, its features and functions was determined. The professional standard of a primary school teacher and the types of activities, through which the teacher's labor functions are realized and for which it is advisable to use artificial intelligence tools, are analyzed. The development of primary school teachers' competencies can be positively influenced by the use of artificial intelligence in their professional activities. The authors describe digital artificial intelligence tools that will be useful for primary school teachers and classify them according to the types of their pedagogical activities. The areas of activity in which artificial intelligence can act as a teacher's assistant, as well as areas that are currently beyond the capabilities of artificial intelligence, are identified. It is concluded that primary school teachers need to be trained to use artificial intelligence in their professional activities and to transfer knowledge about artificial intelligence to pupils, as well as ways to teach pupils the features of artificial intelligence, methods of its application for teaching pupils and for their own professional development.

Published: February 2024

Background/Aim: Sacrocolpopexy is considered the gold-standard surgical treatment for patients with symptomatic uterine prolapse. This technique can be performed using a laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopic lateral suspension has emerged as a new alternative pelvic organ prolapse surgery method. This study aims to compare the postoperative anatomical improvement and sexual function outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (Group 1) versus laparoscopic lateral suspension (Group 2) for pelvic organ prolapse at our institution.
Methods: Group 1 consisted of 14 patients, while Group 2 comprised seven patients. Relevant data were collected using the Turkish-validated Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12), A Simple Questionnaire to Screen for Sexual Dysfunction, and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) questionnaires.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2 in terms of the preoperative stage of uterine prolapse (2.6 (0.8) vs. 2.7 (0.7) [P=0.534]). The postoperative period was significantly longer in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (1,014.7 (348.8) days vs. 598.4 (276.5) days [P=0.013]). In the POP-Q evaluation, point C was measured as -6.6 (1.1) cm in Group 1 and -5.2 (1.5) cm in Group 2, indicating a statistically more proximal location (P=0.037). The total vaginal length was greater in Group 1 than in Group 2, but this difference was not statistically significant (8.7 (1.2) cm vs. 8.1 (1.3) cm, [P=0.343]). There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of uterine prolapse stages and sexual function during the follow-up period.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic lateral suspension is an alternative method for patients with uterine prolapse, offering comparable anatomical and sexual outcomes to laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

Published: February 2024

The article presents a comparative study of methods for argumentative relation prediction based on a neural network approach. The distinctive feature of the study is the use of argumentative indicators in the preparation of the training sample. The indicators are generated based on the discourse marker dictionary. The experiments were carried out using an annotated corpus of scientific and popular science texts, including 162 articles available on the ArgNetBank Studio web platform. A set of all argumentative relations is described by internal connections of arguments and include the conclusion and the premise. In the first stage of training set construction, fragments of text that included two consecutive sentences were examined. In the second stage, indicators were retrieved from the corpus texts and, for each indicator, statements presumably corresponding to the premise and conclusion of the argument were extracted. In total, 4.2 thousand indicator-based training contexts and 13.6 thousand pairs of sentences were obtained from the corpus with annotation of the presence of an argumentative relation. Based on this training sample, four classifiers were built: without indicators, with marking indicators in sentences using tags, taking into account segmentation of text based on indicators, with segmentation and tags. The results of the experiments on argumentative relation prediction are presented.
An attempt to determine a preposition and delimit the class of derived prepositions in Russian
Authors: Uryson Elena
Published: February 2024

The object of the paper are Russian words traditionally described as derived prepositions. The problem is that there is no formal definition of preposition in theoretical or applied linguistics. Non-derivative, or primitive prepositions are given in grammar by the closed list, so strictly speaking there is no need to define this class of words. However. we must have criteria for determining derived prepositions. I suggest a set of necessary conditions that a preposition must satisfy. I demonstrate that so called adverbial prepositionsin Russian do not satisfy them and should be described as adverbs. Similarly, some Russian verbal prepositions, and some Russian denominative prepositions should not be described as prepositions.

Published: February 2024

The article examines the semantics of the Russian discourse marker stalo byt’, using the data obtained by analyzing translational correspondences extracted from parallel corpora of the Russian National Corpus (RNC). Typically, this discourse marker is an indicator of inferential evidentiality, by which the speaker marks the fact that the given statement is a conclusion made by the speaker on the basis of the information they received and accepted as true by default. In addition, stalo byt’ has two secondary types of usage – “rhetorical” and “narrative” – where the basic semantics of this discourse marker is subject to certain modifications. One of the key points of analysis is the reconstruction of semantic mechanisms providing the actual semantics of stalo byt’.

O presente capítulo apresenta aos leitores as grandes mudanças e revoluções que aconteceram no campo da ciência a partir da era digital. Se antes para se obter informações era preciso uma vasta pesquisa em livros, registros e outros, atualmente diversos dados e estudos estão acessíveis nos meios digitais de forma prática, simples e objetiva, bastando apenas alguns cliques. Com esses avanços, foi possível alcançar um público-alvo maior, além de democratizar o acesso ao conhecimento científico na área da saúde, especialmente com relação à Saúde Bucal. Ainda hoje, as taxas de prevalência das doenças bucais são bem altas, isso se deve, principalmente, à falta de informação por boa parte da população sobre as condutas a serem adotadas na presença de problemas de origem odontológica, bem como das medidas de prevenção das mesmas. Nesse contexto, o uso dos meios digitais para o compartilhamento de conteúdos científicos/informativos sobre saúde bucal acontece de forma prática, rápida e ampla, além da possibilidade de distribuição dos dados de maneira interativa com o público. Contudo, o uso dessas plataformas exige bastante cuidado, isso porque a forma com que estas informações são passadas e interpretadas depende do público, da linguagem abordada e dos elementos que compõem aquela postagem. Além disso, vale ressaltar o desafio que temos com a confiabilidade das informações nesses canais digitais, uma vez que, em alguns casos, não é estabelecido um rigor científico para o controle de sua divulgação.

Published: February 2024

Com a evolução da sociedade, nota-se que fatores culturais, sociais, educacionais e econômicos podem influenciar a percepção da condição bucal, bem como na incorporação de ações preventivas, impactando no desenvolvimento de alterações bucais que comprometem a saúde geral do indivíduo, interferindo negativamente na sua qualidade de vida, levantado até mesmo ao envelhecimento bucal precoce. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre o envelhecimento bucal precoce, com o intuito de responder à seguinte questão: quais são os problemas que caracterizam o envelhecimento bucal precoce? Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura conduzida em cinco etapas: seleção da questão temática (elaboração da pergunta norteadora), estabelecimento dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão de artigos, seleção dos artigos (seleção da amostra), análise e interpretação dos resultados, com busca pelas publicações realizadas no período de setembro de 2023 na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Resultados: Dos 8 estudos selecionados, todos abordaram problemas odontológicos que caracterizam o envelhecimento bucal precoce. O período de publicação dos trabalhos foi entre os anos de 2011 a 2023, sendo a maioria publicados no ano de 2022 (37,5%, o que corresponde a 3 trabalhos). Quanto aos principais problemas que caracterizam o envelhecimento bucal precoce, destacaram-se: Lesões cervicais não cariosas (abrasão, erosão e abfração) (75%, n=6) e a Hipersensibilidade dentinária (50%, n=4). Conclusões: A ação do cirurgião dentista deve ser pautada na compreensão do sujeito de modo integral, abordando uma prática clínica que irá favorecer a melhoria física do paciente, sem deixar de lado os cuidados com as questões emocionais, sempre na perspectiva multiprofissional.

O capítulo explora o papel dos imunomarcadores CD209 e Fator XIIIa em contextos tumorais. O sistema imunológico, crucial na defesa contra patógenos e câncer, destaca-se pela imunidade inata e adaptativa. As células dendríticas (CDs) e macrófagos, primeiras linhas de vigilância, são consideradas alvos promissores na imunoterapia do câncer. A técnica de imuno-histoquímica (IHQ) é essencial na pesquisa da patologia oral, fornecendo informações diagnósticas e prognósticas. Neste contexto, a revisão narrativa da literatura aborda a ambivalência das CDs no microambiente tumoral e destaca estudos sobre CD209 e Fator XIIIa em diversas condições patológicas. A escassez de estudos enfatiza a necessidade de mais pesquisas na carcinogênese oral. A metodologia foi baseada na busca por estudos publicados, critérios de inclusão e exclusão, resultando na seleção de 9 artigos para revisão. Destacou-se a complexidade do papel das CDs e Fator XIIIa no ambiente tumoral e dermatológico, oferecendo insights para futuras pesquisas e tratamentos inovadores. O capítulo ressalta a importância desses imunomarcadores na tumorigênese, oferecendo percepções valiosas para o diagnóstico, tratamento, prognóstico e predição em diversos tipos de câncer.

O comportamento infantil é um grande interferente no atendimento odontopediátrico, quando o mesmo é positivo, temos um paciente com facilidade de manejo e consequentemente um atendimento mais tranquilo e com chances maiores de sucesso. Em contrapartida, temos no âmbito odontológico uma frequência de pacientes classificados com comportamento negativo, estes pacientes são então mais resistentes ao tratamento, gerando dificuldades de gerenciamento do comportamento dos mesmos que consequentemente dificulta a realização do atendimento e/ou possivelmente causarão lembranças negativas das visitas ao dentistas para essas crianças. É diante desta realidade que vê-se na aromaterapia com óleos essenciais um potencial de sucesso para tratar a ansiedade nessas crianças visto que esta técnica utilizando o óleo de lavanda pode reduzir o nível de ansiedade e facilitar o tratamento odontológico.

Comer vai além de uma necessidade fisiológica; é uma necessidade emocional e uma maneira de construir conexões, onde a comida se torna um elo entre pessoas. No entanto, restrições alimentares e preocupações com contaminação cruzada levam a mudanças significativas na vida cotidiana, não apenas alterando hábitos alimentares, mas também afetando a vida social. É inegável a falta de opções de alimentos seguros, saborosos e nutritivos para aqueles que precisam excluir um ou mais componentes de sua dieta diária. A composição desses alimentos requer ingredientes e técnicas que fogem do convencional na culinária. Portanto, é crucial expandir o conhecimento sobre novas formulações para criar alimentos que atendam aos gostos e necessidades daqueles que não apenas escolhem, mas precisam de dietas adaptadas. Sendo assim, a iniciativa da criação desse livro de receitas surge em resposta aos desafios enfrentados por aqueles que tem restrição ao glúten, oferecendo alternativas saborosas e seguras para a população celíaca.

Estilo de vida inadequado caracterizado por dieta inapropriada, comportamento sedentário e uso de fumo são condições que, de forma isolada ou conjunta, impactam negativamente os principais fatores de risco cardiovascular. Muitos indivíduos não atingem as metas desejáveis para pressão arterial sistêmica, colesterol LDL e glicemia. Frequentemente, o excesso de peso, caracterizado por sobrepeso ou obesidade, é a principal causa das alterações cardiometabólicas observadas globalmente. Estudos que implementaram intervenções para mudança de estilo de vida, como o DPP (Diabetes Prevention Program), Look Ahead e o DiRECT, mostraram que o cuidado intensivo caracterizado por encontros frequentes com a equipe, orientação para prática regular de atividade física e seguimento de padrão alimentar adequado resultou em perda de peso e melhora nos fatores de risco cardiovascular. Particularmente, no estudo DiRECT, observou-se remissão do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 para aqueles que perderam mais de 15 kg em um ano. A American Heart Association propõe métricas a serem atingidas pela população, com a finalidade de prevenir risco cardiometabólico. Denominado “8 condições essenciais da vida” (Life’s Essential 8), o documento preconiza dieta sau-dável, prática de atividade física, não fumar, peso adequado, valores apropriados de lipídeos e glicose, pressão arterial e sono de boa qualidade. Para que sejam efetivas, as mudanças de estilo de vida devem ser sustentadas no longo prazo, por meio de encontros frequentes com profissionais capacitados e abordagem que contemple hábitos culturais e preferências do paciente, evitando planos alimentares e estratégias radicais, que penalizam o indivíduo, dificultam o seguimento e favorecem a interrupção do tratamento. Assim, ressalta-se a adoção de estilo de vida saudável no tratamento da obesidade e de suas comorbidades para melhora da saúde cardiometabólica. Este artigo enfatiza ainda a importância da implantação de medidas de políticas de saúde pública que contribuam efetivamente para o enfrentamento das doenças crônicas não--transmissíveis (DCNT) a fim de garantir a qualidade de vida da população.

Published: February 2024

The effect of winding chording on five-phase synchronous reluctance motor (SRM) modelled in phase variables is presented. The stator winding configuration is shifted a pole pitch from a full-pitch configuration to a 54 degrees over-full-pitched configuration incorporating the effect of 3rd harmonic of the air-gap magneto-motive force in the inductance equations. The models are monitored on starting, synchronism, loading, faults and loss of synchronism. These are considered simultaneously with vector potential, rotor speed, air-gap flux linkage and winding current. The phase variable (analytical) models have been simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink software while ANSYS Maxwell software has been used to simulate the finite element model (FEM) of the motor for corresponding chording ranges for comparison on direct online starting (DOL). Under all conditions considered in the work, the detailed results are presented and very close similarity is observed between the analytical and the nearly ideal FEM model for all chording ranges and the similarity is enhanced with increase in chording angle.

The comics series The Low, Low Woods is set in the fictional former coal‑mining town of Shudder‑to‑Think, Pennsylvania. While the mines have long been abandoned, their variegated effects, from poverty to environmental destruction, still haunt the region. This article suggests that The Low, Low Woods identifies a convergence between the exploitation of the natural world, a coal industry on the brink of collapse, and a fragile form of (white) hypermasculinity that promotes a violent and race‑ as well as class‑specific idea of local identity that two teenage, queer women from ethnic minority backgrounds begin to challenge.

Abstract: Law Number 36 of 2008 concerning Income Tax shows that the greater the profit a company earns, the greater the tax that the company will pay. The increase in tax aggressiveness by companies is nothing but a burden on company profits, on the other hand causing state revenues to increase. Social and environmental responsibility in Limited Liability Company Law No. 40 of 2007 Article 1 Number 3 is defined as the company's commitment to participate in sustainable economic development in order to improve the quality of life and the environment that is beneficial, both for the Company itself, the local community, and society in general. From this definition it can be stated that taxes and CSR are both aimed at the general welfare. However, the difference is that taxes are managed by the central government and local governments which are then distributed to the general public, while the costs of implementing CSR are managed by companies and then distributed to the general public. In addition, it requires a good corporate governance or known as good corporate governance. This study wants to prove whether CSR disclosure and good corporate governance affect tax aggressiveness. This research was conducted in the manufacturing sector in Indonesia with the research period 2009-2013. The results of the study show that CSR disclosure has a negative effect on tax aggressiveness, while good corporate governance has no effect on tax aggressiveness.Keywords: CSR, good coporate governance, tax aggressiveness

Authors: Hastang Hastang , R. Ahmad
Published: February 2024

Mastery of qawaid al-lughah al-arabiyyah material is fundamental for students in the Arabic language education study program as it lays the groundwork for mastering the four essential language skills: istima', kalam, qira'ah, and kitabah. Despite its significance, students encounter difficulties in comprehending this material. This qualitative descriptive study conducted at IAIN Bone involves eight students and two lecturers from the Arabic education study program, employing in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. The thematic analysis reveals three main findings: 1) Learning difficulties are categorized into nahwu and sharaf, encompassing challenges in grasping new terms, creating examples, applying rules, analyzing sentence elements, and understanding wazan and shigat. 2) Factors contributing to these difficulties include inadequate face-to-face learning schedules, infrequent lesson repetition, limited self-practice, excessive reliance on online learning, a less supportive environment, and insufficient learning facilities. 3) To overcome these challenges, students take individual initiatives, including self-motivation, completing learning activities, forming communication and study groups, actively participating in the learning process, and enrolling in training/courses. Addressing these challenges can enhance Arabic language education, enabling students to achieve proficiency in qawaid al-lughah al-arabiyyah and the four language skills.Keywords: Arabic learning, Learning difficulties, Nahwu, Sharaf, Qawaid al-lughah al-arabiyyah

Prihatin Kedah is a Kedah based non-governmental organization (NGO) that rely extensively on volunteers to achieve the NGO’s goals. The purpose of this project is to develop a Volunteer Activities Tracking System (VATS) that are capable of tracking the volunteers’ activities, and can also provide an intermediary between NGO’s administrator and volunteers. All the volunteer activities are currently handled manually through the phone via WhatsApp. Volunteers have difficulties to keep track and view the schedules of events, activities, and locations. In addition, volunteers also face difficulties to communicate with the NGO’s admin to get updates of events and activities. The second problem is that it takes a lot of energy and required a lot of time to produce and generate report since they have to do it manually. They need to retrieve back and keep track of all the documents to find the information to produce a report which often lead to other problems such as duplication in data entry, data not accurate and others. The objective of the system is to serve as a platform to manage volunteer activities, to provide efficient way to track volunteer activities and to manage the process of volunteer activities easier for both volunteer and admin. Waterfall model is used in system development life cycle (SDLC) in this project which include phases of planning, analysis, design, testing, deployment and maintenance. With the system, availability of volunteers is matched with events, activities and location. Thus, allowing easy coordination of volunteers and admin also able to generate the report more accurately. The system effectively match the volunteers’ preferences with the NGO’s needs. Making admin task easier as the system provide a single platform to manage activities and produce report. Hence, this project provide a positive social impacts of the use of digital solution for community well-being.
