Authors: Жиглей Ірина Вікторівна , Лайчук Світлана Михайлівна , Поліщук Ірина Романівна
Published: August 2024

Проведено дослідження формування інформаційної індустрії в Україні та визначено місце застосування інформаційних технологій під час організації та ведення бухгалтерського обліку різними суб’єктами господарювання. Авторами встановлено, що цифровізація обліку вказує на перехід від традиційних методів обліку до використання цифрових технологій та електронних систем. Для ефективного впровадження та управління процесами диджиталізації обліку рекомендовано низку основних дисциплін для підготовки майбутніх бухгалтерів та навички, які вони здобудуть у процесі вивчення цих дисциплін. Охарактеризовано основні правила організації бухгалтерського обліку з використанням інформаційних технологій (вибір відповідної бухгалтерської програми, безпека даних, інтеграція з іншими системами, навчання персоналу, автоматизація облікових процесів, забезпечення відповідності чинному законодавству, моніторинг та аналітика, технічна підтримка). Наведено недоліки, які можуть виникнути під час використання програм з ведення бухгалтерського обліку: недостатня гармонізація з міжнародними стандартами, потреба в постійних оновленнях, висока вартість програм для бухгалтерського обліку, складні процедури ліцензування та реєстрації програмних продуктів, відсутність єдиних стандартів для всіх галузей, кібербезпека, невизначеність у питаннях оподаткування тощо. Зроблено висновок, що безперечні переваги використання цифрових технологій у бухгалтерському обліку впливають на підвищення вимог до кваліфікації облікових працівників, а також на необхідність зміни структури управління підприємством, підбору нових кадрів та навчання працюючого персоналу.

Authors: Осіпчук Дарина Сергіївна
Published: August 2024

Стаття присвячена аналізу ризиків у митній справі в умовах воєнного стану. Нестабільність економічної, соціальної та політичної складових держави спричиняє активізацію здійснення незаконної діяльності, в тому числі і в митній справі, що визначає актуальність дослідження. Стаття аналізує сутність митного контролю, митного ризику та вплив недотримання митного законодавства. Розглядаються цілі та рівні системи управління ризиками, її значення для захисту національної безпеки та прискорення зовнішньої торгівлі. Описуються заходи для покращення митного контролю через автоматизовану систему управління ризиками (АСУР). Дослідження показує, що воєнний стан створює сприятливі умови для несанкціонованого ввезення та вивезення товарів, знижуючи ефективність митного контролю та спричиняючи фінансові втрати через руйнування інфраструктури і зменшення обсягів постачання товарів. Стаття аналізує основні ризики, що виникають у цей період, зокрема ризики контрабанди, зниження митних надходжень, недобросовісність працівників митниці, знищення товарів та пошкодження митної інфраструктури. З метою ефективного управління визначеними ризиками та мінімізації їх наслідків запропоновано наступні заходи: створення резервних митних постів та митниць, розширення їх пропускної здатності митних постів та митниць, посилення інформаційної безпеки, страхування вантажів, формування суб’єктами зовнішньоекономічної діяльності фондів для покриття можливих втрат. Особлива увага приділяється цифровізації митних процедур, що допоможе знизити рівень корупції та покращити загальну ефективність митного контролю.

Published: August 2024

Розвиток технологій і зростання рівня та якості життя людей внесли свої корективи у використання різних матеріалів для виробництва та пакування продукції та виробів. Одним з таких дійсно корисних винаходів людства, який значно спростив наш побут та сприяв розвитку технологій, стала розробка та впровадження у широкий вжиток різноманітних полімерів / пластмас та інших синтетичних речовин. Але, є і негативний вплив таких нововведень, зокрема на організм людини та навколишнє середовище. В статті проведено аналіз та доведено негативний вплив синтетичних речовин через міграцію із пакувальних матеріалів в харчові продукти і воду або через побутове користування виробами із їх вмістом на організм людини. Окрім того, для дослідження було проведено опитування української молоді щодо їх ставлення до використання пластикової упаковки. Участь в анкетуванні взяли 127 респондентів студентського віку (18…23 роки; 47,2 % – чоловіки, 52,8 % – жінки). Респонденти при відповіді на запитання використовували 10-ти бальну шкалу, де 1 означало однозначне бажання перейти від одноразового до багаторазового використання упаковки до появи ознак її зносу, а 10 – абсолютне несприйняття ідеї повторного використання пластикової упаковки. До ідеї стосовно повторного використання пластикової упаковки для ягід у супермаркетах (здавати використану упаковку для повторного фасування в неї) 60,7 % респондентів в цілому поставилися прихильно. Стосовно повторного використання пластикової упаковки для готових страв респонденти висловили велику кількість аргументів, що перешкоджають ефективному впровадженню такої ініціативи. Усі заперечення розбито на три великі групи: занепокоєння щодо мікробіологічної безпечності повторного використання тари; недовіра до значних екологічних переваг таких заходів; неможливість спонтанних покупок через необхідність приходити в магазин зі своєю упаковкою. Під час розробки та реалізації можливих рішень щодо кризи, пов’язаної із забрудненням пластиком та синтетичними матеріалами загалом, зроблено висновок, що прозорість є ключем до успіху. На кожному етапі життєвого циклу пластику, синтетичних матеріалів та інших шкідливих складових, які використовуються у виробництві, рішення мають прийматися із дотриманням прав людини на здоров’я та здорове довкілля.

Management of Context-Specific Knowledge Creation and Application through Collective Social Responsibility in School?Community Partnerships
Authors: Nkambule Bongani , Ngubane Sindile Amina , Mashiane-Nkabinde Bongi
Published: August 2024

In knowledge-based institutions such as schools, productivity is associated with effective creation and application of operational knowledge. Using collective fingers theory, this qualitative case study explored how a considerably effective partnership between a South African township secondary school and a network of community organizations/structures, facilitated the creation and application of context-specific and socially responsive knowledge that led to improved internal school conditions, problem solving strategies, poverty alleviation, and extension of social support to vulnerable learners and their families. Based on the thematic analysis drawn from utterances of eight purposefully sampled participants, the study showed that the school’s promotion of common purpose, mutual respect, collective decision making, care for others, collective social responsibility and democratic leadership practices contributed to the success of its mutually beneficial partnership with relevant community networks. It also emerged that by going an extra mile to lobby for multisectoral social support, the school richly benefited from the benevolence of a wide network of government departments; private-corporate sector and local businesses; faith-based formations; and non-governmental organizations some of which offered similar or overlapping services while others offered a diverse range of services to the school. The study proposed that the school must minimize the frequency of late arrival and unwarranted early recusals in knowledge production meetings. It further called for increased cultural capital and inclusion of parents from lower socioeconomic households in decision-making processes; and elimination of procurement policy red tape that occasionally delayed the provision of much-needed social support to schools, families and learners.
Challenges and Opportunities of Using Lesson Study in English Language Teaching Among Ecuadorian EFL Teachers
Authors: Cajas Diego , Cherres Karina
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the challenges and opportunities of implementing the lesson study model in English language teaching in four schools in Southern Ecuador for four months. Using an action research design through interviews, observations, and journals with a thematic analysis, the researchers were able to identify challenges of limited capacity of reflection and recognition of the activities that required improvement after English classes; limited capacity to provide truthful peer feedback; teachers’ incorrect notions about their performance in their classes; difficulties in following a collaborative lesson plan; and disconnection between class activities and the class content. The opportunities identified were teachers’ predisposition to collaborate; disposition to attend professional development courses; commitment to work extra hours in planning meetings; openness and desire to be observed in their classes; and willingness to share class materials and knowledge. The authors found a disconnect between teachers’ understanding of English language teaching and its proper application in class (from theory to practice). Also, rigid institutional teaching concepts, such as excessive institutional paperwork and activities not connected to developing students’ competencies, do not allow teaching innovations.

Published: August 2024

This study examined a flexible composite wideband dipole antenna implemented with conductive silver nanoparticle ink having different conductivities. Two identical split ring resonators (SRRs) were designed to encompass each arm of a dipole element, and each dipole arm and its coupled SRR were printed on the top and bottom sides of a dielectric substrate. The overall dimensions of the compact antenna were 10 mm × 74.8 mm × 0.254 mm (0.053λo × 0.399λo × 0.0014λo at 1.6 GHz). The characteristics of the antenna with different conductivities were numerically investigated and experimentally confirmed. Our investigation aimed to ascertain the proposed antenna's response to different conductivity values and to determine the range of conductivity values that generates major changes in the antenna's performance characteristics in terms of impedance bandwidth, gain, and radiation efficiency. At conductivity values less than approximately 6.0 × 104 S/m, the number of generated resonances changed from three to two, and the antenna experienced a nearly 3-dB gain reduction when the conductivity approached 5.8 × 104 S/m.
Elevation Estimation Algorithm for Low-Altitude Targets in Multipath Environment
Authors: Kwon Daihyun , Ko Hyunwoo , Hong Sungwon , Yoon Kichul , Cho Byunglae , Kim Kwan Sung
Published: August 2024

The algorithm proposed in this study estimates the multipath elevation of targets at low altitudes, including near-zero elevation. Although the double null algorithm is a maximum likelihood elevation estimation algorithm, it diverges when the target elevation is near zero. Addressing this issue, the selective double null algorithm improves the accuracy of multipath elevation at low altitudes by applying previously measured antenna near-field patterns. However, it cannot be applied to active electronically scanned array radars, since antenna beam patterns vary with the steered azimuth and elevation angles. In this paper, the proposed algorithm modifies the double null algorithm to estimate the elevation in the divergence state more accurately. Since it is based on the multipath energy function, the antenna near-field pattern is unnecessary. In addition, to increase the accuracy of elevation estimation, an operation method that selectively uses the estimated elevations according to several conditions is proposed. The proposed algorithm was verified through simulations.

Authors: Lee Joo-Gwang , Kang Tae-Weon , Hong Young-Pyo , Kwon Jae-Yong
Published: August 2024

Using the intermediate frequency (IF) substitution method, this study establishes a low-frequency attenuation measurement standard operating in the 9 kHz to 10 MHz frequency range. We designed and fabricated a low-frequency attenuation measuring instrument using a mixer that converts the input radio frequency signal into an output IF of 1 kHz. When varying the attenuation of a variable attenuator under test, an attenuation of up to 100 dB was measured. The IF output of the mixer was measured using a spectrum analyzer as the receiver. The receiver's performance was evaluated using an inductive voltage divider whose measurement capability is traceable to the electrical measurement standard. The measurement uncertainty, which accounts for uncertainty sources such as the performance of the receiver, mismatch, and mixer nonlinearity, was evaluated to be 0.005 dB to 0.058 dB (k = 2) in the attenuation range of 10 dB to 100 dB.

Authors: Sha Chen-Hao , Cheng You-Feng , Chen Qian , Liao Cheng , Ding Xiao
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we present a millimeter-wave Fabry-Perot antenna with dual resonances, circular polarization, and stable gain. To achieve circularly polarized radiation, we integrate a receiver-transmitter circular polarizer into the partially reflective surface (PRS) of the antenna. The PRS is specifically designed with a positive reflective phase gradient, which contributes to a stable gain in the dual-resonance frequency band. For the radiation source, we adopt a linearly-polarized substrate-integrated waveguide cavity-backed slot fed by a printed ridge gap waveguide. Experimental measurements conducted on a fabricated prototype of the proposed antenna demonstrate its impedance and axial ratio bandwidths of 28.6–30.0 GHz and 28.6–29.6 GHz, respectively. Furthermore, the antenna exhibits a peak gain of 12.1 dBi and a gain fluctuation lower than 0.6 dB within the operational frequency band.

Authors: Lim Tae Heung , Park Seulgi , Lee Cheol-Soo , Park Joo Rae , Choo Hosung
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we propose an all-metal Vivaldi array antenna with dual-slant polarization for high-power jammer systems. The single Vivaldi element of the proposed array consists of radiating flares and an inner cavity to achieve high directivity and wide-frequency band impedance-matching characteristics. We expanded the proposed Vivaldi element to a 4 × 4 array antenna with dual-slant polarization considering the occurrence of grating lobes. The fabricated array antenna produced measured active voltage standing wave ratios below 2.74:1 (Port 1) and 2.85:1 (Port 6) in the frequency range of 2.5–5.5 GHz for all steering angles. In addition, the measured array gain is above 9.5 dBi in the frequency range from 2 GHz to 6 GHz. These results confirm that the proposed array antenna consisting of metallic components for high durability is suitable for application to high-power jammers.

Published: August 2024

Owing to the high impedance transformation ratio, the Doherty power amplifier (DPA) with a large output power back-off generally has bandwidth limitations. This study proposes an asymmetric DPA with an impedance distribution and control circuit (IDCC) at the post-matching network to improve the bandwidth. The IDCC, based on a resonance circuit and a series transmission line, distributes and controls the load impedance according to the frequency so that the bandwidth of the DPA can be extended. To verify the proposed IDCC, an asymmetric DPA was designed using GaN HEMT with a power capacity of 6 W and 10 W for the carrier and peaking amplifiers, respectively. The implemented DPA was evaluated for the broad frequency band between 3.3 GHz and 3.8 GHz using a 5G new radio (NR) signal with a bandwidth of 100 MHz and a peak-to-average power ratio of 7.8 dB. A drain efficiency between 43.2% and 50.7% and an adjacent channel leakage power ratio between –23.4 dBc and –27.3 dBc were achieved at an average power level that ranged between 33.5 dBm and 34.3 dBm.

Authors: Ragawanti Debora Tri
Published: August 2024

This study examined pre-service EFL teachers’ beliefs about reflective practice in the English language teacher education program using a life history study. The study involved seven pre-service EFL teachers taking their master’s program in English language teacher education at a private university in Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. The research used a life history study which is a qualitative research design. The research instruments were reflective essays containing the past and present experience dealing with reflective practice, and a life history interview. The findings highlighted more positive beliefs than negative ones. Positive beliefs considered reflective practice effective for increasing EFL pre-service teachers’ pedagogical competence, critical thinking, and professional development. The negative beliefs viewed RP as time- and energy-consuming and could be confusing without any focus on writing.  As the pedagogical implication, reflective should focus on a particular issue, be guided with practical guiding questions, not be rigorous about how often and how to do it, and provide some alternatives based on the need and conditions of the (pre-service) EFL teachers.

Published: August 2024

Structuralism is a theory focusing on analyzing the structure of a text and the relationship between the elements in order to get the meaning of literary works. Binary opposition is an important concept of structuralism, it is a concept or idea that can gain meaning through its relationship with its opposite. William Blake’s “The Tyger” and the “The Lamb” are two poems contain a lot of meaning that opposites each other. This study address several aspects related to the binary opposition of structuralism in the poems “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” by William Blake: (1) The structural elements in the poems “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” by William Blake. (2) The way “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” by William Blake employ binary oppositions in their structure to convey contrasting themes. (3) The influence of binary opposition on the overall meaning and interpretation of “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” by William Blake. (4) The benefits of using structuralism in poetry for language teaching, and how these can be addressed in teacher training programs. This study applied a qualitative method and context-oriented approach. This study shows that by utilizing structural elements, thematic explorations, tone, language style, and binary oppositions, Blake develops two mutually enhancing yet opposing perspectives on creation and divine existence. The strong and frightening Tyger is in stark contrast with the meek and pure Lamb, representing the intricate nature of life and the various facets of spirituality. This resistance goes beyond just the use of animal imagery, affecting the themes, tone, and language in every poem. Blake prompts readers to confront the contradictions of existence by juxtaposing light with darkness, innocence with experience, and nature with divinity. Studying poetry can be difficult because of different levels of literary skill, teaching methods, and tools, but it provides many academic benefits. Poetry nurtures a greater love for literature, improves creative skills and critical thinking, and aids.

Published: August 2024

Due to its potential in many industries, including law enforcement, facial recognition technology has attracted a lot of interest recently. The proposed face recognition method compares the facial traits of unidentified people with a database of known missing people using high-resolution images and advanced algorithms. The first step in the facial recognition procedure is to use specialized cameras to take clear photographs of the unknown person's face. Advanced computer vision algorithms are then used to process these photographs in order to extract distinctive facial characteristics such as the separation between the eyes, shape of the nose, and contours of the face. Using pattern recognition tools, these attributes are then compared with a database of people, who have gone missing in the past. The proposed system uses machine learning algorithms to enhance its accuracy and dependability over time. It can adapt to changes in stance, lighting, and age progression, enabling it to recognize missing people even after a sizable amount of time has passed. The efficiency of the proposed identification process can be improved further by integrating this system with the databases already used by law enforcement, which will ultimately improve the possibilities of finding missing people and reuniting them with their family and loved ones.

Changing Views toward mRNA based Covid Vaccines in the Scientific Literature: 2020 - 2024
Authors: Thoene Michael Allen
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Before the global Covid-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, mRNA based vaccines had never been administered to the public outside of a single clinical trial that was not completed at the time. However, within the space of 9 months these experimental vaccines were administered to millions through an emergency use authorization (EUA).

Aim

The aim of this article is to raise awareness that medical science can be biased due to social and economic influences, especially during high stress epochs in history. Scientists should be conscious of always being objective and skeptical regardless of what is happening in the wider world.

Material and methods

A literature survey was performed examining the reporting of severe adverse events (SAEs) in articles published between 2020 and 2024.

Results and discussion

From 2020 to 2024, the literature has gone from claiming there are absolutely no SAEs from mRNA based vaccines (2020/2021) to an acknowledgment of a significant number of various SAEs (2023/2024); including but not limited to neurological complications, myocarditis, pericarditis and thrombosis.

Conclusions

The early scientific literature was biased, so as not to report SAEs, due to social and political concerns and overwhelming corporate greed. Only in the last year have scientists been able to publish articles that acknowledge a high number of SAEs linked to mRNA based vaccines. This should act as a warning that science should be completely objective when evaluating health risks, but can often be influenced by social and economic considerations.

The challenge to teach science education in at the junior high school level is to ensure that all branches of science is integrated and coherent for students. This due to the science module taught in pre-service teacher education are given separately. This study aims develop a module for integrated science course. The module was designed to deliver a coherent integrated science by introducing and using Robin Fogarty’s connected model to pre-service teacher in the integrated science course in Lambung Mangkurat University. This study was carried out using 4D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) development model. In the develop stage, validity test, practicality test, and effectiveness test was carried out. For the validity and practicality test, the data is analyzed descriptively, while the effectiveness test was analyzed using paired sample t-test. This study found that using Robin Fogarty’s connected model to create an integrated science module could result in a valid, practical, and effective module. The module also provide and a comprehensive example on how to use the connected model to different scientific concepts. Further study to explore other ways to integrate scientific concept should be made to provide students with more reference on how to integrate different concepts from different scientific branch.

The focus of this study is to find out how the PhET-assisted experiential learning technique affects students' Science Process Skills on energy-related material. A quantitative technique was applied in the research design, which was one group pretest posttest. This study will take place in SMP N 1 Sugio Lamongan. Purposive sampling was used in the sample selection process. There were 181 students in this study. The research included 66 students divided into two groups, class A and class B. However, data could not be gathered for 5 kids due to school activities, limiting the sample to 61 students. The insight gathering approach involves cognitive tests and observation of performance tests, followed by hypothesis evaluation with a paired simple t-test. The findings of this investigation show that learning using the PhET-assisted experimental approach to learning encounters a substantial impact on students' Science Process Skills in energy change material, with an average cognitive pretest score of 40.03, a posttest result of 78.95, and an N-gain value of 0.64, and obtained data from performance test observations with a pretest value of 35.65, a posttest result of 84.42, and an N-gain value of 0.75. The integration of experiential learning techniques aided by PhET has an impact on students' Science Process Skills, as evidenced by pretest posttest outcomes that have increased to the moderate level.
