Exploring the Influence of Learning Difficulties and Self-Directed Learning on Problem-Solving Ability in Elementary School Students: The Mediating Impact of Mathematical Disposition
Authors: Rahmawati Silvi Fitria , Daryono Rihab Wit , Kurniawati Annisa Dwi
Published: July 2024

Mathematical disposition can help students overcome difficulties in learning mathematics more effectively. With the mediation of mathematical disposition, the positive influence of self-directed learning can more easily lead to increased students' problem-solving abilities. This research aims to explore the role of mathematical disposition as a mediator in influencing learning difficulties and self-directed learning on problem-solving abilities. The survey method was used to collect data based on probability sampling from 32 students from class 5 at MI Ma'arif Patihan Wetan. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire consisting of a Likert scale with 4 alternative answers. PLS-SEM analysis was used to analyze data and test and evaluate the construction of variables measuring problem-solving abilities. The results of the analysis show that problem-solving abilities are not significantly influenced by learning difficulties (β=0.000; ρ=0.998) and self-directed learning (β=0.000; ρ=0.061). In addition, mathematical disposition was proven to mediate the influence of learning difficulties (β=0.443; ρ=0.000) and self-directed learning (β=0.214; ρ=0.286) on problem-solving abilities. These findings highlight the importance of mathematical disposition in facilitating problem-solving abilities through learning difficulties and self-directed learning. The practical implication of this research is the need for a holistic approach in developing a positive attitude towards mathematics as an integral part of the learning approach. This research supports efforts to provide a learning environment that supports, motivates, and encourages students to develop positive mathematical dispositions. As well as emphasizing the development of metacognitive skills and utilizing learning technology to facilitate interaction and collaboration between students in exploring mathematical concepts.

Published: July 2024

This research aimed to measure prospective teachers' cultural awareness in learning using web and ethnoscience-based media. Then, to confirm the me-dia's feasibility, we conducted teaching material verification tests and media verification tests utilizing Borg Gall theory. A mixed method study was used in data collection techniques, including observations, documentation, and interview. Following the qualitative, quantitative verification test was conducted by two verifiers, with the first verifier, media professionals, rated highly effective with an average of 96.6%. In contrast, the average percent-age of material expert verifiers was 98%, rated highly effective. The results showed that the student's cultural knowledge increased statistically signifi-cantly with 5% alpha after learning science using the media. The average n-gains for the three grades were high, with no differences among the three grades, and over 93% of students responded positively to the media. Ethno-science and web-based learning media meet the media eligibility criteria: val-id, practical, and effective to improve students' cultural awareness in science classrooms.

The Problem of a Teacher's Intellectual Potential
Authors: Slepko Y.N.
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the problem and place of intellectual abilities in the psychological pedagogical activity of a teacher. Attention is focused on the absence of the category “intellectual abilities” within the framework of traditional classifications of pedagogical abilities developed in Soviet and Russian educational psychology (N.V. Kuzmina, V.A. Krutetsky, A.K. Markova, etc.). The exception is the studies of L.M. Mitina, in which intelligence is obtained in the accumulation of cognitive and personal characteristics of the teacher’s activities. In view of this, this integration includes concepts and theories of psychology, abilities and intelligence for the role of understanding and intellectual abilities in the stage-by-stage psychological activity of the teacher. The possibilities of V.D. Shadrikov theory of abilities are described to understand the essence of a teacher’s intellectual abilities. The key advantage of this theory for solving the problems of teaching abilities and pedagogical intelligence is the understanding of intelligence as a systemic manifestation of human cognitive abilities.

Psychological Security of High School Students in Situations of Communication with Classmates and Teachers
Authors: Lidskaya E.V.
Published: July 2024

The work is aimed at an empirical study of the psychological security of high school students in communicating with classmates and teachers. The hypothesis was tested that high school students feel more protected when communicating with teachers than when communicating with classmates. The study involved 85 high school students of 10th and 11th grades of Vladimir city, aged 16 to 18 years. The questionnaire “How protected do you feel at school?” was used. A high level of safety when communicating with classmates and teachers was demonstrated by 48.2% of high school students, an average level by 35.3%, and a low level by 16.5%. The hypothesis was not confirmed, since differences in the safety of high school students when communicating with classmates and with teachers turned out to be statistically insignificant. The exception was the position “Against being forced to do something against your wishes,” when assessing which high school students felt more protected in communicating with classmates than with teachers. The study confirms that the problem of psychological security in schoolchildren’s communication continues to remain relevant, which indicates the need to continue this research.

Nu is þeo Leore For-Leten: Conventionality, Complexity and Substitution Sets in Historical English Spelling
Authors: Stenroos Merja
Published: July 2024

This paper considers some assumptions about historical English spelling, in particular the idea that historical orthographies, in the absence of standardisation, naturally tend to a close spelling-sound correspondence. It focuses on the group of Early Middle English texts copied by the Tremulous Hand of Worcester in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, and addresses the question to what extent it is fair to consider them representative of an archaising strategy, a product of antiquarian interest. It is suggested that, while the texts copied by the Tremulous Hand, like most Middle English copied texts, are likely to carry over some features from their exemplars, they reflect a competent use of English as a living written medium and are consistent with other twelfth- and thirteenth-century writing systems. Accordingly, there seems to be no reason to assume a specifically antiquarian motivation behind the Tremulous Hand’s spelling choices. Rather, they reflect three basic features that are present throughout the history of English writing: conventionality, complexity and the use of substitution sets.

Steering the Ship of the Mind: Politics and Theology in the Nautical Expression of the Layered Mind in the Alfredian Translations
Authors: Ponirakis Eleni
Published: July 2024

Following Gregory the Great, the Alfredian translator(s) make us of a metaphor where the mind is conceptualised as a ship, with Reason at the helm. The ship must navigate the dangerous waters of worldly temptation and at times is steered by God. The interchangeability of God and Reason at the helm suggests that Reason is, in some way, a God-like faculty. The ship of the mind is a common image in patristic texts, but its origin is Pre-Christian, and has its basis in Plato; in Phaedrus, rather than a ship, a chariot with headstrong horses is steered by the part of the mind known as the steersman of the soul (Emlyn-Jones and Preddy 2022, 416). This essay will attempt to trace the possible sources for the prevalence of this image in Gregory and in the Alfredian translations, with a particular focus on Hierdeboc or Pastoral Care, and the Old English Boethius. Although the Pastoral Care is a close rendering of the original, the Alfredian translator has added details which show an in-depth knowledge of contemporary sailing techniques. This essay will argue that the use of the ship of the mind metaphor not only taps into Christian Neoplatonic theology fashionable at the Carolingian court, but also styles King Alfred as a man of action, a competent sailor versed in the latest techniques of sailing and a competent hand on the tiller of state, where he is implicitly compared with God.
Educating King and Court: The Exeter Book and the Transmission of Poetic Anthologies in the (Post-)Alfredian Period
Authors: Salvador Mercedes
Published: July 2024

Taking as a starting point Asser’s De gestis Alfredi regis (XXIII)—which mentions that Alfred was given a book containing English verse—this article sets out to consider the existence of vernacular poetic anthologies as early as this period. If Asser’s episode is true, the book in question must have been a collection of Old English poetry, of which the Exeter Book may have been a later reflex, since it has been argued that this codex contains an anthology (Muir 1994). The design of the manuscript could then be in line with that of the Anthologia Latina, the most important model of the early Middle Ages. This compendium originated in Africa in the sixth century and eventually found its way to various European countries, including England. It may thus have become the prototype for autochthonous poetic collections of the kind mentioned in Asser’s history. In this light, this paper is the first to seriously consider the hypothesis that the Exeter Book may have been compiled during King Alfred’s period, or perhaps not much later (Sisam 1953). In doing so, it envisages the use of vernacular anthologies as educational tools for both the king and the courtiers in early medieval England.

Authors: Sánchez Silvia , Reyes Pedro , Mejía Barrera Marco Antonio , Paz Martínez Antonio , Frias Sara
Published: July 2024

La anemia de Fanconi es el síndrome de falla medular hereditaria más frecuente; en estos pacientes suele desarrollarse de manera progresiva y las complicaciones hematológicas pueden agravarse durante la adolescencia y la adultez temprana hasta el desarrollo de condiciones asociadas a neoplasias, como el síndrome mielodisplásico y la leucemia mieloide aguda.
El inicio y evolución hacia la neoplasia en la anemia de Fanconi, ha sido asociado a pérdidas y ganancias de regiones cromosómicas y pueden ser monitoreadas a través de la búsqueda de alteraciones citogenéticas clonales, distintivas de la enfermedad que se localizan en los cromosomas 1, 3 y 7. En este artículo presentamos la metodología seguida por nuestro laboratorio para la detección y seguimiento de los cambios cromosómicos, a través de técnicas de bandeo GTG e hibridación in situ con fluorescencia. Dicha estrategia representa una forma costo-efectiva para realizar el seguimiento longitudinal de los cambios en la médula ósea de los pacientes que, de manera conjunta con el análisis morfológico y el monitoreo de los recuentos sanguíneos periféricos, permite la toma de decisiones terapéuticas oportunas, como la programación de trasplante de células troncales y progenitoras hematopoyéticas, cuando es posible.

China’s Presence in Latin America as a Subject of Party Interaction in the United States
Authors: Manukhin Alexey
Published: July 2024

The article examines the factor of Chinese expansion in Latin America in the politics and ideology of the US Democratic and Republican parties. Democrats hope to attract a wide range of Latin American partners with their multilateral renewable energy projects, while avoiding direct criticism of China. Republicans rely on the traditional spheres of production and infrastructure, often contrasting “pro-American” center-right governments in the region with “pro-Chinese” left ones. Both parties agree that Beijing’s activity in the Western Hemisphere threatens Washington’s positions and are ready to jointly resist it.
Impact of Diffusion Tensor Field Smoothing with Log-Cholesky Metric on Noise Reduction
Authors: Jaberi Somayeh , Ghodousian Amin , Ardekani Babak
Published: July 2024

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a noise-sensitive method, where a low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) results in significant errors in the estimated tensor field. Post-reconstruction tensor field smoothing is a simple and effective solution for alleviating this problem. Diffusion tensors can be represented by Symmetric Positive-Definite (SPD) matrices which can be viewed as a Riemannian manifold after defining a suitable metric on the space of SPD matrices. The Log-Cholesky metric is a recently developed concept with several advantages over previously defined metrics, e.g., Frobenius, Log-Euclidean, and affine-invariant metrics. In this work, we implemented a smoothing method based on the Log-Cholesky metric and show its effectiveness as a simple solution to filtering noisy diffusion tensor fields.
Dynamic Network Decoding of Working Memory Based on Electrophysiological Signals of Human Brain
Authors: Tahanejad Mahdieh , Bahmani Zahra
Published: July 2024

The human brain consists of various parts, each with its own specific role in directing behaviors. Even simple tasks involve the coordinated activities of multiple brain regions. Cognitive activities, in general, rely on the ability to retain and adaptively manipulate information. This crucial capability is often attributed to Working Memory (WM). The current study aimed to gain a deeper insight into the neural mechanism of WM and understood how the neural activities were coordinated across brain regions. To achieve this objective, the invasively recorded electrophysiological activities from Medial Temporal (MT) cortex using high number of electrodes were analyzed. The human subjects did a verbal working memory task including three phases: encoding, maintenance and retrieval. Graphs of brain networks were generated using the Phase Locking Value (PLV), a functional connectivity metric, across six conventional frequency bands. In conclusion, a noteworthy observation was made regarding the reinforcement of a majority of brain connections during maintenance. Beta oscillations between the posterior and anterior hippocampus showed increased synchrony during maintenance of WM. This finding opens up the possibility of formulating a hypothesis regarding the flow of information between different brain regions during the maintenance state.

Modern legal relations are subject to significant transformation. Digital technologies are undergoing tremendous development today, influencing all areas of public relations. Digitalization especially affects the processes of transmission, processing and storage of information, which is of great importance in civil legal relations and affects business processes. The openness and scale of dissemination of information has a significant impact on business reputation - information about a legal entity that characterizes its activities. Changing the methods of transmitting such information leads to the emergence of a number of problems relating to the protection of business reputation. The purpose of this study is to consider a number of issues related to the implementation of the right to protect business reputation in the age of progressive development of digital technologies. Identification of key problems in protecting business reputation is necessary to analyze the effectiveness of the current legal regulation of the sphere of civil legal relations, to formulate problematic aspects of protecting the rights of citizens and legal entities, as well as to understand the features of the evolution of law under the influence of digitalization.

Authors: Bulgakov Andrey E. , ,   Postgraduate Student of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law of the Law Faculty of the Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

Shadow banning is the practice of restricting the distribution of a users’ content without notifying them. Shadow banning can take the form of excluding content from the recommendations page, search results, etc. Platforms driven by business interests use shadow banning tools to restrict the dissemination of controversial viewpoints and political content. This practice is an example of the exercise of platforms’ power, which can be limited by means of constitutional law. This article uses a comparison of the legislative regulation of social media in the European Union and Russia to assess the effectiveness of domestic legislation in limiting shadow banning. The author concludes that recent changes in Russian legislation will not be an obstacle to the implementation of shadow banning by digital platforms.

Published: July 2024

The work proposes to qualify actions (inaction) in violation of the established regime as contempt of court with the imposition of a court fine for this. A measure of procedural coercion for persons who do not want to submit to the regime of a closed court session will be their removal from the courtroom. Such a measure as removal does not take into account cases when the meeting is declared closed initially, in particular, when the hearing of the case continues behind closed doors after an adjournment or break in the court session.

the domestic state and legal reality. The methodological basis of the work is formed by general scientific and specific scientific (historicallegal, comparative-legal, descriptive, content analysis) methods of cognition of legal reality. The conclusions are substantiated that the approval of the anti-globalization paradigm of a multipolar world as a priority of state development of our country for the coming decades, the consistent implementation of the doctrine of constitutional democracy based on traditional legal universal values, the formation of a socially oriented rule of law state in Russia determine the need for a deep modernization of administrative legislation. A special place in this process should be given to the modernization of legislation on the civil service, including on the civil service in the law enforcement sphere and in the penal system, in particular. The globalist neoliberal model of social development, imposed in the 90s of the last century and dominant in the sphere of public administration in our country until recently, is undergoing a deep rethinking and adjustment taking into account the national interests of Russia. We are talking about the formation and development of a new sovereign model of the domestic state and law in all its diverse manifestations. In these conditions, one of the most important elements of the public administration system in need of modernization is the civil service system. The scientific and practical significance of the work lies in substantiating the provisions that the processes of development of administrative constitutionalism as a basic concept of positive convergence of European liberal values and ideas of the Russian world in the domestic model of public service.

Authors: Gurbanov Guseyn R. ,   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Adygezalova Mehpara B. ,   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University
Published: July 2024

Effective management of asphaltene-paraffin-resin deposits in the installations of oil and gas distribution systems, along with corrosion control, is one of the most pressing issues. One of the important issues arising from today’s demand is the development and testing of new multifunctional complex inhibitors and compositions based on them designed to combat asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits and corrosion under laboratory and mine conditions. This paper reports on the laboratory testing of a new multifunctional composition that inhibits the formation of asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits and corrosion processes in the oil well-gathering-transportation system. The effect of Difron-4201 depressant additive and ED composition on the freezing temperature of a high-paraffin crude oil sample, the formation of asphaltene-paraffin-resin deposits, and the surface tension coefficient were studied for the first time under laboratory conditions. It was found that, compared to the Difron-4201depressant additive, the ED composition exhibited higher efficiency. Specifically, at an optimal consumption concentration of 900 g/t for the Difron-4201 depressant additive and 700g/t for the composition, the highest efficiency was 190% and 200% respectively for freezing temperature reduction, 89.8% and 96.1% for the formation of asphaltene-paraffin-resin deposition, and 63.3% and 76.6% for surface tension reduction. Furthermore, the effect of the IB-1 inhibitor and the ED composition on the viability of sulfate-reducing bacteria in Postgate-B-nutrient medium along with corrosion rate in aggressive media containing hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and a combination of both were studied. Laboratory experiments determined the optimal consumption rate of the IB-1 inhibitor determined to be 25 mg/l. The corrosion protection effect at the optimal concentration of the inhibitor and the ED composition was 97.1% and 99.2% in hydrogen sulfide medium, 94.6% and 95.4% in carbon dioxide medium, and 93.6% and 94.7% in a combines hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide medium, respectively.
Fundacja rodzinna – nowy podatnik podatku dochodowego od osób prawnych
Authors: Mariański Adam
Published: July 2024

Ustawa o fundacjach rodzinnych wprowadziła do polskiego porządku prawnego nowy rodzaj osoby prawnej. Co do zasady fundacja rodzinna jest podatnikiem podatku dochodowego od osób prawnych zwolnionym podmiotowo z podatku dochodowego od osób prawnych. Jest ona jednak opodatkowana od dochodów z tytułu niedozwolonej działalności gospodarczej, a także od niektórych przychodów z najmu. Dodatkowo fundacja jest podatnikiem, a nie płatnikiem, z tytułu wypłaty świadczeń na rzecz beneficjentów. Celem artykułu jest analiza sytuacji prawnopodatkowej fundacji rodzinnej jako podatnika, a temu służy przede wszystkim ocena wprowadzonych rozwiązań. Pozwoli to także sformułować wnioski de lege ferenda.
Nile Tilapia Farming and Diversity in Sub-saharan Africa: A Review
Authors: Wasso D.S. , Ayagirwe R.B.B. , Oluwamuyiwa O.E. , Kassam D.
Published: July 2024

This paper examines Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Sub-saharan Africa, where the expansion of aquaculture farms has resulted in the escape of fish, including Nile tilapia, into natural water bodies. This has led to the mixing of escaped tilapia with native species. To successfully manage and conserve these mixed species, it is important to understand their morphogenetic features. This review analyzes different production systems and morphometric variations of Nile tilapia in Sub-Saharan Africa, providing insight into the underlying factors. This review was carried out by exploring published papers, reports and books to gather information on the subject. The results showed that Nile tilapia are cultured in various systems, depending on the economics, skills, infrastructure and environmental conditions of farmers. Sub-saharan Africa exhibits a significant morphometric diversity of Nile tilapia, which has been studied using traditional and geometric morphometric methods. Both in situ and ex situ conservation methods are recommended to preserve the diversity of Nile tilapia for future aquaculture breeding programs in the region.

PREDICTING RETAIL INVESTORS’ INTENTION TO INVEST IN SOVEREIGN SUKUK: THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR
Authors: Maharani Yasmin Putri , Qadri Resi Ariyasa
Published: July 2024

This study seeks to predict the determinants of retail investors' intention to invest in Sovereign Sukuk within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The research model incorporates the antecedents of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. A quantitative approach was used to test the factors from the literature through a survey. Convenience sampling produced a sample of 811 respondents, categorised into existing and potential investors. The results of the SEM-PLS analysis indicate that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control have a significant positive relationship with the intention to invest in Sovereign Sukuk across both groups of investors. For existing investors, knowledge and religious factors positively impact investment intention, while patriotism, risk, yield, and tradability have no effect. Normative beliefs positively influence subjective norms but pressure from religious figures and influencers does not. Self-efficacy and facilitating conditions positively affected perceived behavioural control. For potential investors, patriotism, knowledge, risk, yield, and tradability have a positive impact, whereas religious factors do not. Both normative beliefs and pressures from religious figures and influencers positively influence investment intentions. Self-efficacy and facilitating conditions positively affect perceived behavioural control. These findings are crucial for policymakers to develop strategies to expand their investors based on the key determinants of investment intention.
Constructs of the Stress–Appraisal–Coping Theory and Positive Human Traits as Predictors of Perceived Stress in People With Multiple Sclerosis: Implications for Rehabilitation Professions
Authors: Iwanaga Kanako , Chan Fong , Deiches Jonathan , Lee Deborah , Chen Xiangli , Wu Jia Rung , Zapata Patricia , Rumrill Phillip
Published: July 2024

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often have to cope with high levels of stress. Lazarus and Folkman’s (1984) stress–appraisal–coping theory emphasizes the relationship between the individual and the environment, suggesting that a stress response is highly influenced by individual appraisal processes. This study aimed to evaluate constructs of Lazarus and Folkman’s stress–appraisal–coping theory and positive human traits as predictors of perceived stress in a sample of 477 adults with MS. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to determine the incremental variance in perceived stress accounted for by demographic covariates, functional disabilities, challenge appraisal, and positive human traits. Core self-evaluations, challenge appraisal, limitations in social/cognitive functioning, agency hope, and age were significant predictors in the final model, accounting for 68% of the variance in perceived stress scores (R2= .68,f2= 2.13; large effect size). Core self-evaluations and challenge appraisal were the strongest predictors of perceived stress. The findings from this study will help rehabilitation professionals develop empirically supported stress management and well-being interventions, enabling people with MS to cope effectively with stressors and challenges and improve their health and well-being.

Arts, crafts and industrial design in Silesia in the first globalization and their non-obvious genres, media and practices
Authors: Stanicka-Brzezicka Ksenia
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to outline the processes of formation of industrial design on a concrete example of the art and industrial landscape of Silesia, with particular regard to the role played by non-obvious genres, media and practices. It is about processes of developing of instances of pluralism and areas of “non-obviousness” at the interface of artistic, economic and social aspects, i.e. areas and phenomena that overlapped or were only vaguely defined, in the late 19th and turn of the 20th century. It is reflected as a result of many developments that began during the industrial revolution and are still affecting the world today, politically, economically, socially and culturally.
Wrocław’s cultural heritage in the city’s historical policy
Authors: Zybura Marek
Published: July 2024

Until the political breakthrough of 1989/90, the cultural heritage of Wrocław had been the subject of an irresolvable historical and ideological dispute between Germany and Poland, burdening their mutual relations. The exclusive use of the national paradigm by both sides in their approach to the city’s history made it impossible to bring their stances closer together. The author shows this dispute against the background of the general Polish attitude to the phenomenon of German cultural heritage in Poland after World War II and explains its evolution in Wrocław and Silesia.
Wrocław Jewish studies after the World War II
Authors: Wodziński Marcin , Tworek Wojciech
Published: July 2024

The article traces the development of academic Jewish studies in Wrocław from their modest beginnings after the Holocaust, through a renaissance of academic interests in the 1980s, and culminating in the creation of the Department of Jewish Studies at the University of Wrocław. As we demonstrate, the main areas of scholarly interest among the faculty members of the Department are the history of Hasidism, modern Yiddish culture, and the socio-political history of Polish Jews in the 20th century, which, as we argue, closely correspond with major methodological and cultural developments in global humanities.
