Published: October 2024

Climate change poses a significant threat to agriculture, with gender dynamics playing a critical role in influencing adaptive behaviors. Despite this, there remains a notable gap in addressing gender-specific factors in climate change adherent behaviors within the agricultural sector, especially in the Asian Regions. Pakistan's agriculture, particularly in underdeveloped regions, is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Climate information is predominantly disseminated through vernacular media, which serves as a crucial tool for adaptation. To fill the gap in this tapestry, a study conducted in the district of Rahim Yar Khan in southern Punjab, Pakistan, proposes a conceptual framework grounded in existing theories and literature to examine agricultural adherence to climate information services (CIS) and highlight the potential of digital media in promoting climate-resilient behaviors among agricultural workers. To ensure the robustness of the results, a cross-sectional research design was employed, integrating a broad survey that traversed on a gender basis within this underdeveloped precinct. A probability sampling technique, specifically systematic random sampling, was utilized to gather responses from 200 respondents related to farming and yielding through a closed-ended questionnaire. The study found that over half of the participants, irrespective of gender, recognized climate change as a significant concern for agriculture. Notably, females exhibited a higher level of awareness compared to their male counterparts. Local media emerged as the primary source of climate information for both genders. Post-CIS exposure, notable behavioral changes were observed, underscoring the critical role of CIS in managing climate change risks. The findings highlight significant gender differences and stress the importance of gender-responsive approaches in delivering climate information services to ensure equitable engagement and effective management of climate change risks in agriculture. The research also suggests theoretical and social implications, along with practical recommendations for policy and practice.

The work describes cloud and post-cloud computing paradigms, on the basis of which it is possible to model and build intelligent video surveillance systems. Based on the analysis of literary sources, it was concluded that performance indicators largely depend on the paradigm of the computational model, but the degree of importance of each performance indicator is different for different paradigms. Taking into account the peculiarities of different paradigms, the performance indicators characteristic of each of them are described. It has been found that the common indicators for evaluating all models developed on the basis of cloud and post-cloud computing paradigms (with varying degrees of importance) are: Throughput, Network Congestion, SLA Violation, Fault Tolerance, Statistical Analysis Measurements, The Number of Orchestration Decisions, The number of Contradictory Decisions, Time to Adaptation, Competition Ratio, Cache Hit Ratio, The number of Contradictory Actions, Oscillation Mitigation, Cost, Technique’s Overhead, Privacy. Based on the analysis of cloud and post-cloud computing simulators, it is established that the metrics of resource usage, energy, response time, and latency are those that can be used by researchers when conducting a comparative analysis of models built on the basis of the following paradigms: fog, edge, fog, and cloud computing. The practical significance of the conducted research is that, depending on the tasks that will be set before the future video surveillance system, researchers will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of using different architectures (Cloud, FOG, Mist, etc.) with the help of certain simulators. In the future, it is advisable to conduct a study of the degree of importance of common metrics for evaluating all models developed on the basis of cloud and post-cloud computing paradigms, and conduct their normalization for the possibility of conducting an adequate comparative analysis. It is also relevant in future research that it is advisable to conduct research using different types of sensor devices (surveillance cameras with different technical characteristics, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc.).

Published: October 2024

The impact of institutional quality on environmental pollution in ASEAN countries is analyzed in this study. The researcher collected 250 observations from the World Bank dataset using data from 1996 to 2020. The author applied principal component analysis (PCA) and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) techniques to estimate panel data. The evidence of this study suggests that institutional quality has a negative impact on environmental pollution in the short run and a positive impact in the long run. Other macro factors, such as economic growth, trade openness, financial development, FDI, and energy consumption, have varying degrees of impact on environmental pollution. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there is currently no research examining the impact of institutional quality on environmental pollution in ASEAN countries, with the institutional quality variable created from six indicators based on the WGI database by using the PCA technique.
Students’ perceptions towards project-based learning: A Vietnamese case study
Authors: Tran Du Thanh
Published: October 2024

Project-based Learning (PBL) is a process related to foster students’ knowledge and understandings via learning activities. PBL approach has been officially adopted and implemented at Thu Dau Mot University (TDMU), Vietnam since 2018, but it has not been working effectively in the Faculty of Foreign Languages when it comes to complaints from English-majored students. Conducted both quantitatively and qualitatively through the tools of a questionnaire and interviews, the current study aims at exploring the opinions of 165 university students majoring in English towards PBL activities in Vietnam. The descriptive study uses statistical and document analyses to gain a deep insight into students' responses with reference to both motivational and demotivational factors towards PBL application at the university. The current study reveals that most English language students at TDMU have a favorable impression of PBL in their English courses. The perceptions are almost positive due to the belief that PBL is helpful to the students in various aspects. It offers a flexible learning environment, encourages learners of EFL to engage in genuine language learning methods, and ultimately results in improved academic performance. Towards its fruitful benefits, PBL is believed to be a method that has the potential to be successfully implemented for the advancement of EFL education, thus enhancing students’ language skills and enable them to study English more dynamically, effectively, and excitingly. The findings imply that there are various motivational factors perceived by the students with reference to PBL and they almost highly appreciate the convenience and flexibility of PBL in their language courses. The results also indicate several demotivational factors and suggested activities when it comes to PBL application in English courses at the university.

Published: October 2024

The effect of sex on the characteristics of the digestive tract and its relationship with the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and performance traits was studied in 14 Mexican Cuino (MC) mini-pigs averaging 57.2 ± 8.1 kg, fed ad libitum a diet based on sorghum and soybean meal. Nitrogen ATTD was significantly better in females than in castrated male pigs. A trend was found for the relative weight of the entire digestive tract to be heavier in castrated males than in female pigs. Large intestine contribution to total digestive tract weight was relatively high in both sexes, 48.7 and 50.8%, respectively, for castrated males and females. A significant, though not strong relationship between large intestine relative weight and ATTD of dry matter (DM) was observed. These results indicate that sex would appear to be a factor influencing digestive processes in MC mini-pigs.

Published: October 2024

Recent issue surrounding the need of urgent PCI for stable, late-presenting patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction is debatable. Research indicates limited mortality benefits with reduced total ischemic time. Exploring post-systolic index (PSI) through strain echocardiography reveals its potential in assessing left ventricular recovery. We compare PSI values in late presenter STEMI patients undergoing PCI. From June to September 2023, a prospective study focused on stable late presenter STEMI patients undergoing PCI. Total ischemic time was classified as ≤ 24 hours (early intervention) and > 24 hours (late intervention). Echocardiography performed thrice: before PCI, 24 hours after PCI, and 30 days after PCI, followed by comparative analysis of PSI values. A total of 43 patients with mean age of 58 ± 7.9 years, predominantly male (74.4%). There were no significant difference in PSI values 24 hours after PCI between groups [22.5 % vs 22.0 %, p = 0.644]. At the 30-day follow-up, the result showed no difference between the two groups [13.0 % vs 13.3 %, p = 0.356]. PSI values before and after PCI showed a significant decrease (31,0 % and 23,2 % and 33,2 % vs 24,9 %, p < 0,001), as well as at the 30-day follow-up (31,0 % vs 13,2 % and 33,2 % vs 15,9 %, p < 0,001). Our findings suggest that both early and late interventions demonstrated similar beneficial outcomes in terms of myocardial recovery. Intervention in late presenter STEMI has been proven beneficial whether performed early or late.

The current paper explores the constructs of private university's attractiveness that help in the long-term sustainability. In the current study, 900 students of different private universities of India were approached to fill the questionnaire. The data was collected via a survey method and stratified random sampling method. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Sixty-two statements relevant to twelve constructs in the study were included in the self-administered questionnaire. A discriminant validity was scrutinized by using Heterotrait-Monototrait (HTMT) ratio of correlations. The findings indicate that in the Indian context, the primary antecedents of university attractiveness are faculty and student publications and research excellence, course diversity, student diversity, and institute branding and promotion, placements, alumni and curriculum. Consequential factual information derived from this scientific research has practical implications for national policymakers and governing bodies of higher education institutions. Building sustainable institutes constitutes the primary focus of our study. Hence, educational institution proprietors and the higher education ministry of a nation should consult it to establish solid groundwork for future educated members of society and to inform their policy decisions. This is one of the very few research that empirically tested the relationship between university attractiveness and sustainable institute in the Indian higher education context. The results indicate that university attractiveness impact the sustainable institute which in turn results in good admissions and the brand value To conclude, the teachers can help the young students to achieve great heights in their career by ensuring the development of a sustainable higher education system.
Macro-economics and firm-specific factors impacting the non-performing loans of vietnamese commercial banks in the context of COVID-19
Authors: Hung Nguyen Viet , Hiep Tran Duc , Dong Manh Cuong
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented economic disruptions worldwide, with the banking sector being one of the most affected industries. This paper aims to explore the impact of various factors on the nonperforming loans (NPLs) of Vietnamese commercial banks during the COVID-19 pandemic by employing a Bayesian hierarchical regression approach. The analysis highlights that the pandemic has led to a significant and positive increase in the NPLs ratio of Vietnamese banks, indicating that the financial health of these institutions has been adversely affected by the crisis. Moreover, the study uncovers that the impact of COVID-19 on NPLs is not uniform across all banks. Specifically, state-owned banks have experienced a more pronounced increase in NPLs compared to their private counterparts. This disparity suggests that state-owned banks may be more vulnerable to economic shocks due to their broader exposure to sectors and enterprises heavily impacted by the pandemic. The findings of this research offer critical insights into the dynamics of the banking sector in Vietnam during a global health crisis and emphasize the need for targeted policy interventions. The results also underscore the importance of understanding the differential impacts of such crises on various types of financial institutions. By identifying the factors that contribute to the increase in NPLs, this study provides valuable information that can inform future strategies aimed at enhancing the resilience of the banking sector against similar economic disruptions. Furthermore, the findings highlight the effectiveness of the policies implemented during the pandemic to support the banking sector, suggesting areas for improvement and further research.

Dental caries is a common oral health problem that occurs in all age groups, especially in children. Untreated dental caries can lead to several issues such as pulpitis, ulceration, fistula, abscess, and pulp necrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between untreated dental caries and quality of life, as well as the most affected domain of quality of life in children aged 8-10 years at Primary School 060970 Belawan in 2023. This was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design to investigate the association between untreated dental caries measured using the pufa index and the quality of life of children aged 6-12 years using the Child’s Perception Questionnaire 8-10 (CPQ8-10). The subjects of this study were students aged 6-12 years at Primary School 060970 Belawan, selected using total sampling technique where the entire population was included as samples. The study began with oral examinations to determine deft/DMFT and pufa/PUFA scores. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with the respondents to collect data on their quality of life. Data analysis was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality, which showed that the data were not normally distributed. Spearman correlation test (r=0.600) revealed a significant positive relationship between untreated dental caries and quality of life (p=0.000) with a strong correlation. The social limitations domain of quality of life (r=0.595) was found to be the most affected, indicating a strong association between untreated dental caries and quality of life. In conclusion, an increase in pufa scores is associated with an increase in quality of life scores. An increase in quality of life scores indicates a poor quality of life.
An analysis of learners' mental constructions in learning and solving trigonometric equations
Authors: Dube Njabulo Happyboy , Ngcobo Zanele Annatoria
Published: October 2024

Learners' construction of mathematical concepts is an issue of global concern. As a result, scholars advocate that mathematical topics identified as problematic for learners should be analyzed through research. This paper reports on an APOS (action, processes, objects, and schema) analysis of Grade 11 learners' mental constructions of trigonometric equations. The aim is to reveal the nature of the learners' mental constructions rather than provide a statistical analysis of their performance. This qualitative study was conducted with 17 purposively selected Grade 11 learners doing pure mathematics. The data used in this study were generated from learners' written responses and semi-structured interviews. Using the constructs of APOS theory, our analysis of learners' mental constructions revealed that most learners are operating at the action stage, which means that their knowledge construction of trigonometric equations is at the developmental stage. We further observed that learners needed external cues to trigger their thinking of how they should go about solving the trigonometric equation. All the procedural steps were explicitly written down, meaning they did not internalized the process of solving trigonometric equations. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that while learners can carry out procedures, meaning they can perform step-by-step procedures, they struggle to integrate concepts. The struggle to integrate concepts emanates from not constructing the concept image of trigonometric equations but rather constructing the concepts as isolated facts. Based on the findings, we argue that for learners to develop a schema for trigonometric equations, instructional strategies must focus on helping learners construct the concept image of trigonometric equations. Construction of the concept image will help learners start to internalize the procedures, thus leading to the interiorization of action to process and then encapsulate the process to an object stage.

The glacial-peaked Cotopaxi stratovolcano in Central Ecuador became visibly active in 2015 for a duration of 101 days, when due to hydrothermal event significant amounts of volcanic particles together with gases precipitated in its surrounding. A detailed day-by-day sampling of these ash particles has led to a thorough morphological, mineralogical and geochemical evaluation in order to characterize the origin and the behavior of the volcano. The mostly trachy-andesitic samples lacked of juvenile material. All evaluated particles, minerals and lithics are of sharp, angular to subangular shapes. Discrimination diagrams and geochemical analysis evidenced a negative correlation between silica (SiO2) and sulfur (SO3), particularly on stronger eruptive occasions. The current study may serve for a general public awareness of volcanic behavior, as the results are able to evaluate and characterize the uprising degree of volcanic explosivity and range of associated hazards in this and similar volcanoes worldwide. Therefore, an immediate evaluation of such volcanic material will be able to result in calming the authorities and the public alike, allowing to offer an additional but decisive tool in the vigilance restless volcanoes.

Published: October 2024

This study employs a combination of k-means clustering and association rule mining to analyze socioeconomic data from 507 students at a community school in Udon Thani Province, Thailand, highlighting the pronounced economic inequalities impacting educational opportunities. By integrating these data mining techniques, the research categorizes students into four income-based clusters and identifies critical socioeconomic attributes influencing educational access and quality. The application of k-means clustering revealed four distinct economic categories within the student population, with the lowest income cluster significantly lacking in basic amenities such as air conditioning and agricultural vehicles, which are essential for their living and educational environments. Association rule mining was then applied to identify household attributes linked to the ‘very low’ income classification. Fourteen association rules were discovered, with support values ranging from 0.43 to 0.44, confidence levels between 0.81 and 0.82, and lift values consistently at 1.1. Key findings reveal that the absence of basic amenities such as air conditioning, agricultural vehicles, computers, and televisions are strongly associated with the lowest socioeconomic status. For instance, the rule {AirCondition=N, TV=N} => {Cluster=Very Low} had a support of 0.44, confidence of 0.81, and lift of 1.1, indicating households lacking these items have an 81% probability of being classified in the ‘very low’ income group. Notably, the presence of electricity did not correlate directly with higher income clusters, indicating that basic infrastructure access alone does not mitigate the broader socioeconomic challenges. These findings underscore the complex interplay between income levels and access to educational and basic living resources. The study’s implications are profound, advocating for targeted educational policies and interventions that address the nuanced needs of economically disadvantaged students, thereby enhancing their educational outcomes and socioeconomic mobility. Future research directions include broadening the dataset to multiple schools across different regions and conducting longitudinal studies to reveal long-term effects of socioeconomic factors on education.
The influence of human resource quality and superiors support on the usability of the accounting and management information system of state-owned asset
Authors: Sahusilawane Wildoms
Published: October 2024

This study aims to investigate the influence of human resource quality and superior support on the effectiveness of the Accounting and Management Information System for State-Owned Assets (SIMAK-BMN) at Universitas Terbuka. The study's results, which provide empirical evidence that the quality of human resources significantly and positively impacts the usability of SIMAK-BMN, as demonstrated by the t-test, are significant. Employing a quantitative research approach, the study's population comprises leaders and users of the Accounting and Management Information System for State-Owned Assets, totaling 57 respondents distributed between the Central Universitas Terbuka and various regional offices. The sampling method utilized in this research is nonprobability sampling, specifically purposive sampling, to ensure that participants possess relevant experience with the system. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to respondents and analyzed using various statistical techniques. These included correlation analysis and multiple regression, descriptive statistics and reliability testing. To ensure the robustness of the findings, validity testing was conducted alongside classical assumption tests, encompassing multicollinearity testing, hypothesis testing, and comprehensive discussion. On the other hand, the variable of superior support does not significantly influence the use of the Accounting and Management Information System for State-Owned Assets. These findings have significant implications, suggesting that while enhancing human resource quality can improve the system's usability, efforts to bolster superiors support may yield a different level of effectiveness. The study underscores the importance of focusing on human resource development to optimize the utilization of management information systems within the academic environment.

Published: October 2024

This research examined the economic policy mix as an imperative for monetary credibility in Nigeria, covering a study period of 35 years spanning from 1988--2022. The paper sourced data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Bulletin (2022). The study used the autoregressive distributed lag methodology. This study revealed that government expenditure (GOEX), tax revenue and greater trade openness significantly improve monetary credibility. However, lower monetary policy rates (MPRs) enhance monetary credibility. Moreover, the broad money supply (BMOS) does not significantly affect monetary credibility. The paper concludes that fiscal discipline, effective tax revenue collection strategies, low MPR, and high trade openness are crucial for maintaining monetary policy credibility. Consequently, the Nigerian government should prioritize policies that improve tax revenue collection efficiency and compliance. While ensuring that government-awarded projects undergo postproject audits, the emphasis of government expenditures should be on improving the educational sector and healthcare sector.

The importance of intentions in determining human environmental behavior is widely recognized; however, their relationship with education, knowledge, and facilities regarding environmental issues is not well understood, especially among pre-service teachers. This study aimed to explore the link between the factors and pathways influencing of pre-service teachers towards separation and recycling behavior on campus in Indonesia. An online structured questionnaire survey was administered to more than 400 students at seven teacher education institutions in six islands in Indonesia. The hypothesised model's links and pathways are tested and analysed using SmartPLS in structural equation models. Environmental knowledge, perceived behavioural control, and environmental knowledge are the three factors that have the most significant relationships with intention of separation and recycling behavior, with environmental education having the most crucial direct impact. In contrast, attitudes and subjective norms fail to convert intention into behavior and do not have a significant direct influence on intention among pre-service teachers. It underscores the importance of environmental education and knowledge in promoting sustainable practices while emphasizing the role of accessible facilities and subjective norms in shaping recycling intentions. Additionally, the study emphasizes the complexity of attitudes and intentions, suggesting that interventions aimed at promoting recycling should consider a diverse range of factors that influence behaviour.
Mediating role of organizational commitment in learning orientation and performance relationships for cooperatives in Malaysia
Authors: Morshidi Mohamad Haswardi , Mohd Yusoff Yusmani
Published: October 2024

This research explores the mediating role of organisational commitment in the relationship between learning orientation and the performance of cooperatives in Malaysia. The study aims to investigate into how learning orientation and organisational commitment interact and collectively influence the performance outcomes of cooperatives. By employing a systematic random sampling technique, data was gathered from 236 small and micro cooperatives across Malaysia. The analysis was conducted using partial least squares-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), a robust statistical method well-suited for examining complex relationships, particularly in studies with relatively small sample sizes. The findings underscore that organisational commitment plays a significant mediating role, enhancing the impact of learning orientation on cooperative performance. This indicates that while a strong learning orientation is essential for cooperative success, its effectiveness is markedly amplified when it is supported by a high level of organisational commitment among members. This suggests that cooperative leaders should prioritize fostering a culture of commitment within their organizations to fully leverage the benefits of a learning-oriented approach. This study contributes to the broader academic discussion by providing empirical evidence from the cooperative sector in a developing country, an area that has been relatively underexplored in previous research. The practical implications are clear where cooperative management should strategically focus on enhancing both learning orientation and organisational commitment to drive better performance outcomes. Moreover, this study sets the stage for future research to investigate these dynamics in various cultural and organisational contexts, thereby broadening the applicability of the findings beyond the Malaysian cooperative sector.

Published: October 2024

Education is the most important element of economic growth and development, Pakistan is full of resources, but improper use of resources leads to it being underdeveloped. Where appropriate education standards can help Pakistan overcome economic problems. Therefore, Pakistan has failed to establish new universities in the last two decades. On the other hand, the performance of the education sector of Pakistan is insignificant and nowhere exists in international rankings. Higher education institutions (HEIs) are progressively incorporating modern technologies and creative approaches to improve their performance in the context of Education 4.0. This study uses innovation as a mediating variable to examine the relationship between knowledge management (KM) and HEI performance. (KM), which includes the organized administration of an organization's knowledge resources, is essential for creating an atmosphere that supports ongoing education and development. Educational paradigms and operational efficiencies are being reshaped by innovation, which is defined by the application of technologies. This study aims to use knowledge management as a construct in enhancing HEIP, where innovation plays a contributing factor as a mediator. The unit of analysis was organization; therefore, the current study targeted 88 universities in Pakistan. The samples were selected via a stratified random sampling technique, and the data were analyzed via SMART PLS 4.0. The findings of the current study revealed that knowledge management in the era of Education 4.0 is a significant construct in enhancing HEIP. Similarly, the results of the mediation also revealed that innovation is a significant contributing factor to the progress of HIEIP. Furthermore, the research explores optimal methodologies and obstacles linked to the amalgamation of knowledge management and innovation, furnishing HEIs with an all-encompassing framework designed to prosper in the context of Education 4.0.

Published: October 2024

In addition to other indicators, improvements in the performance of the labor market, improvements in the performance of remittances, and improvements in the performance of the management of labor market policies and remittances in Kosovo all play important roles in the economic development of Kosovo. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate and compare the dynamics of employment and remittances, as well as to determine the impact of remittances on employment growth in the Republic of Kosovo. In the present study, we examined the dynamics of employment and remittances during the last decade, empirically examined the influence of remittances on employment, and conducted an analysis of employment and remittance policy in Kosovo.  According to the findings, the highest number of employees in Kosovo from 2012 - 2022 was in 2022, whereas the lowest number of employees was in 2015. According to the latest results in Kosovo, the unemployment rate is 10.8%, whereas the employment rate is 34.7%. Remittances have had a significant effect on Kosovo's economy and citizens’ level of living. The value of remittances increased from 2012 - 2022, with the largest value occurring in 2022. Remittances in June 2023 were 123.9 million euros, which represents an increase of 18% compared with the same period of 2022. The hypothesis in this work is examined econometrically, and the empirical results show that the β1 coefficient value is positive, indicating that remittances have a considerable impact on increasing employment in Kosovo. The challenge with remittances in Kosovo in terms of expanding employment is related to their effective management with regard to creating new jobs. The report advises that policymakers implement more sustainable remittance and labor market management to enhance Kosovo's employment performance, among other things.

The profession of integration teaching is currently receiving considerable attention. The competency framework for teachers is assessed based on the 2018 General Education Program (GEP), which emphasizes the development of students' personal competencies and sets new competency requirements for teachers. This program provides detailed guidelines for teaching and learning in the modern era. The objective of this study is to evaluate the extent to which teachers' training and teaching competencies align with the 2018 GEP. The present study surveyed 611 primary school integration teachers across 32 schools serving disabled students in five provinces and cities within Vietnam. In this study, an assessment of teachers' competencies in various aspects of education and teaching was conducted. The results revealed high levels of proficiency among teachers in assessing and nurturing students' qualities and competencies, as well as in devising pedagogical strategies to enhance students' inherent capabilities. The limited language proficiency, particularly in local and foreign languages, has significant implications for ethnic minority students, who rely on native language instruction for effective learning. This limitation hinders the implementation of the 2018 GEP, especially in regions with a high density of ethnic minority populations. Additionally, teachers showed proficiency in creating safe and culturally educational environments and establishing relationships among students, teachers, and parents. Nevertheless, collaboration with families and communities to achieve educational goals exhibited lower competency levels. Furthermore, teachers demonstrated capabilities in researching and updating subject knowledge, along with supporting colleagues in developing professional competencies. The study also explored stakeholders' perceptions regarding educational practices, indicating varying levels of correctness in responses. This study significantly contributes to the evaluation of current primary school teacher competencies and offers valuable data for school managers, administrators, and teachers to gain a more holistic understanding of this matter.

En la realidad de la era actual existe una urgencia necesaria para abordar los desafíos naturales y construir un futuro sostenible. La economía circular es desafiante al paradigma tradicional de ‘tomar, hacer y desechar’, al proponer un modelo donde los recursos son utilizados de manera más eficiente, minimizando el desperdicio. El emprendimiento se rige como motor de cambio fundamental, impulsando la innovación y la adopción de prácticas empresariales un poco más sostenibles.
Este artículo se sumerge en el fascinante mundo del emprendimiento en la economía circular, explorando cómo los visionarios empresariales están desafiando las convenciones para crear un impacto positivo en la sociedad y el medio ambiente. Desde la innovación en el diseño de productos hasta la promoción de plataformas colaborativas y la aplicación de tecnologías disruptivas, examinaremos cómo los emprendedores están liderando la transición hacia un modelo económico más circular y regenerativo.

В статье рассматривается проблема реализации технологии геймификации при подготовке учителей информатики. Проанализированы первые игровые средства, влияющие на поведение и мотивацию пользователей. Интернетплатформы учебного назначения, составленные для формирования компетенций будущих специалистов, для обучения работе в группе, используют элементы геймификации, которые побуждают в условиях отсутствия жесткого контроля участника учебной платформы выполнять задания на основе сформировавшейся положительной мотивации. Исследование направлено на решение противоречия между научно-обоснованной технологией геймофикации и имеющейся базой дидактических средств ее использования в профессиональной подготовке будущих учителей информатики. Готовность будущего учителя информатики формируется путем применения на занятиях геймофицированных информационных технологий, цифровых учебных ресурсов. Метод исследования представляет собой аналитический обзор геймофицированных сред обучения на материале зарубежных и отечественных исследований. Представлены результаты опроса с целью определения готовности будущих учителей информатики к использованию геймофицированных информационных технологий, которые показывают, что подготовки будущих учителей информатики не совсем соответствует потребностям образовательных учреждений. Однако систематическая работа в этом направлении приводит к тому, что студенты получат возможность получить практический опыт применения игрового обучения, развивая навыки самоорганизации, принятия решений, осознание собственной деятельности, реализуя рефлексивные механизмы на основе геймофицированных информационных технологий. В статье приведены примеры онлайн-игр учебного назначения по информатике.
Impact of Disciplinary Variations on Second Language Mental Lexicon
Authors: Chen Yuxin , Wang Yaqiong
Published: October 2024

This study investigates how academic disciplines impact second language (L2) lexical competencies. Prior L2 research has often overlooked the broader effects of disciplinary backgrounds on lexical development. To address this gap, this study utilized lexical decision, memory, and semantic fluency tasks to examine lexicon recognition, memory, and storage processes among L2 Chinese learners from various academic fields. The study participants comprised 16 students from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) disciplines and 11 from the Science and Engineering (S&E) disciplines, all having passed HSK level 4. The tasks were conducted using E-Prime 2.0. The findings revealed distinct cognitive strategies and thinking patterns among the participants from different disciplines . These strategies and patterns affected lexical task performance in terms of accuracy and response times. Although lexical memory exhibited no significant variation among the groups, discipline-specific tendencies were observed in the formation of semantic networks. Learners from S&E disciplines preferred mastering field-relevant Chinese terminology, whereas HSS learners tended to acquire words outside their specific disciplines. This observation highlights how learners’ disciplinary backgrounds influence their vocabulary acquisition and the organization of semantic networks in L2.
