DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE GLOBAL EDUCATION MARKET
Authors: Tsymbal Liudmyla , Kalenyuk Iryna
Published: February 2024

The global education market is undergoing significant changes due to modern digitalisation. The latest technologies are significantly changing learning technologies, the structure of education, international flows and their volume in general. The subject of the study is to assess the impact of digital transformation on the global world market. The aim of this article is to analyse the development processes of the global market for educational services in the context of modern challenges, in particular digital transformation, and its consequences for the higher education market. The methodology of the study included research, a review of scientific literature, graphic visualisation of digitalisation. The methods of system analysis and generalisation have made it possible to identify the main directions of transformation of the global and regional educational markets, to characterise the dynamics of the spread of the latest forms of education and the growth of their profitability, to confirm the turbulence and instability of internationalisation trends and the intensification of competition between traditional and new providers of educational services. Research has shown that the online education sector is developing and expanding rapidly. The amount of capital raised and its profitability are increasing, confirming the prospects of these investments. There is a growing variety of online education providers, which generally creates significant competition for traditional institutions such as universities. Educational products are becoming more diversified and there is a growing trend towards personalised and adaptive learning on online educational platforms using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of students enrolled in various online courses, and there is a growing demand for distance learning and flexible, personalised learning options. The global education market is characterised by unstable dynamics of internationalisation due to various external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, military aggression, demographic factors, political and economic instability. Competition between traditional and new providers for students, market share and financial resources is intensifying. In general, despite the negative factors, the number of foreign students tends to increase, albeit rather unevenly across countries. The widespread use of ICT in education and other activities can pose potential threats and challenges: increased competition and lower quality of education, spread of unwanted and anti-social information.

A review on transdermal drug delivery system
Authors: Disha A Deulkar  , Jitendra A Kubde  , Pooja R Hatwar  , Ravindrakumar L Bakal
Published: February 2024

Drugs that are applied topically are delivered using transdermal drug delivery devices. These are pharmaceutical preparations of varying sizes, containing one or more active ingredients, intended to be applied to the unbroken skin in order to deliver the active ingredient after passing through the skin barriers, and these avoid first pass metabolism. Today about 74% of drugs are taken orally and are not found effective as desired. To improve efficacy transdermal drug delivery system was emerged. A notable advantage of transdermal drug delivery compared to other methods like oral, topical, intravenous (IV), and intramuscular (IM) administration is its controlled release of medication into the patient's system. This controlled release is achieved either by using a porous membrane enclosing a medication reservoir or by utilizing the patient's body heat to melt thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive. Despite its benefits, transdermal drug delivery has certain limitations due to the skin's effective barrier function. Only molecules with small sizes can efficiently permeate the skin and consequently be delivered through this method.

Authors: Shalini
Published: February 2024

Human-wildlife conflicts become a common problem in Ramnagar tehsil of district Nainital in Uttarakhand state in India. The incidence of tiger attacks has suddenly increased in the villages adjoining Corbett Park, Ramnagar Forest Division and Tarai-West Forest Division during three months of winter (from November 2023 to January 2024). Tiger hunger, unavailability of adequate food (Cheetal/Sambar, etc.), man-eaters tigers, increasing population density of tigers, old age tigers with worn and broken claws, disturbance of their alertness and breeding (by noise of safari, bike and public vehicle), large herds of Cheetal in villages near the forest, foreign tiger in this area, need for tiger territory in buffer area (shrinking territory) etc. are main reasons for tiger attacks in these incidences. Both humans and tigers are affected by these conflicts. After these incidents, the Forest department cut small trees and bushes on both sides of the road from the buffer area (about 20-30 feet) and the road has become clear. With this, the tiger will not be able to hide in the bushes on the roadside and sit in ambush, and tiger attacks will be reduced.

Published: February 2024

This research aims to convert plastic waste, especially plastic cups for packaging mineral water, into fuel oil through a pyrolysis process. The experimental method used is with the following stages: first, 1kg of plastic raw material is chopped before being put into a pyrolysis tube. Next, the tube is heated to change the plastic into a liquid form which then evaporates. The hot steam from this plastic is channeled to a heat exchanger to be condensed. Cooling is carried out using water flowing in the opposite direction to the direction of the steam. The results of plastic vapor condensation are collected to analyze their physical and chemical properties. Testing of physical and chemical properties includes specific gravity, heating value, kinematic viscosity, flash point, ash, lead and sulfur content. The result is that fuel from plastic bottle waste has a density value of 742 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity of 1.76 cSt, lower heating value of 43.28 MJ/kg, flash point of 1OC, ash, lead and sulfur content respectively of 0.003905%, 0.0000231%, and 0.000462%.

Published: February 2024

Biochemical differences in response to dehydration methods in Moringa oleifera leaves were studied in moringa young and mature leaves. Sun drying, oven drying and Shade-drying were applied to leaves samples. After drying, leaves were powdered and subjected to physicochemical and phytochemical analyses. The results showed a lower concentration of physicochemical components in shade-dried moringa leaves excepted moisture content. However, shade-dried M. oleifera leaves showed higher phytochemical components than sun and Oven-drying leaves without significant difference (p˂ 0.05) between young and mature leaves. Furthermore, shade-dried drying leaves had better antioxidant activity (IC50 = 0.072 mg / ml for mature leaves and IC50 = 0.049 mg / ml for young leaves) than sun and oven-dried leaves. The shade-dried technique would be therefore the most recommended for preserving physicochemical and phytochemical quality. However, the higher moisture content of shade dried leaves could be a source of micro-organism proliferation when the powders are stored.

Published: February 2024

This English language learning initiative, focused on acquiring new vocabulary, implemented a Flipped Classroom approach utilizing Quizlet as a Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) program for the experimental group. The research took place at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Gresik, East Java, Indonesia, during the 2023/2024 academic year. The homogeneity of the 59 samples was verified through Levene's test, with a significance value of 0.060 based on average pre-test scores, indicating homogeneity as the significance level was >0.05. Subsequently, pre-test and post-test data were collected from 12th-grade students in the social sciences and humanities (IPS/Shosum) program. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze both groups' pre-test and post-test data, along with the non-parametric Mann Whitney T-Test, resulting in an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.071, indicating rejection of the alternative hypothesis as it exceeded 0.05. Nevertheless, it is imperative to address various aspects in future research and practice to explore further potential benefits or drawbacks of incorporating Quizlet in the flipped classroom, including aspects like student engagement, motivation, and long-term retention of material. Additionally, subsequent studies could delve into evaluating the effectiveness of combining Quizlet with other instructional methods or technologies within the flipped classroom framework.

The primary objective of this study is to examine the influence of social capital, government support, and entrepreneurial orientation on the improvement of sustainable rural tourism performance. Additionally, the study aims to identify a suitable model for enhancing the overall performance of sustainable rural tourism. Using a quantitative model, this study utilized the responses of 400 rural tourism administrators. SmartPLS 3.2 is used as a tool to analyze the collected data. Smart Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the interrelationships among social capital, government support, entrepreneurial orientation, and sustainable rural tourism performance. The findings show a positive impact of social capital and entrepreneurial orientation on sustainable rural tourism performance, but government support does not impact on sustainable rural tourism performance. Furthermore, social capital and government support have a positive impact on entrepreneurial orientation. This study suggests the role of entrepreneurial orientation to increase the influence of social capital and government support on sustainable rural tourism performance. Finally, This research offers a conceptual contribution to authors investigating the sustainable performance of rural tourism. Additionally, it provides practical insights for stakeholders in rural tourism, aiding them in enhancing the sustainable performance of this sector.
Imagery of Childhood from the Homeric Poems
Authors: Pinto Ana Paula
Published: February 2024

As the first European literary documents, the Iliad and the Odyssey ensure in the cultural history of the West a unique status, assuming itself since Antiquity as the first foundation of philological and philosophical research, and also as superior literary and artistic model. In the framework of their traditional nature, due to the creative elaboration of generations of aedos, both epics, based on a peculiar technique of production and transmission, articulate in an enigmatic poetic plot threads of mythic narratives and historical realities that modern archaeological investigations confirm. From the poetic testimony of Homer, we will try to analyse the references to childhood. While some occur generically as images of a certain extract of human society, marked by peculiar characteristics, functions and needs, others, supported by peculiar mentions, assume a dramatic functionality in the mythical plot of the two poems, which contributes to their symbolic density. These poetic founding references, plastically reflected in the Greek ceramic art of the classical period, will offer us the pretext not only to better understand the ancient worldview, but also to interpret in it the symbolic expressiveness of the childhood universe. Keywords: Homer, Iliad, Odyssey, childhood, classical ceramic art
Pragmatic Features of Code-switches in Gender-oriented Glossy Magazines
Authors: Bakalova Ekaterina
Published: February 2024

Linguists all over the world have conducted various research on how gender affects language. Code-switches, as one of the forms of bilingual speech, interact with many variables, including gender. This paper provides insights on the phenomenon of code-switches in mass media discourse, specifically in modern glossy magazines Elle and Gentlemen’s Quarterly. We focus our analysis mostly on pragmatic and gender aspects. The objective of the research is to illustrate how the code-switch patterns differ by gender in terms of frequency and pragmatic use. We collected the data from two gender-oriented glossy magazines. The theoretical and conceptual background of the study is the Matrix Language Frame Model by C. Myers-Scotton and the functional classification of code-switches by G. Chirsheva. Findings indicate that code-switches in glossy magazines have eight different functions: topic-related, effort-saving, quotational, self-identification, humorous, metalinguistic, addressee-oriented and emotional. One of the major research results expressed in numerical form: journalists use twice as many code-switches in Elle in comparison to Gentlemen’s Quarterly (434 and 234, respectively). The contrastive analysis has also shown that code-switches perform common and specific pragmatic functions in women-oriented and in men-oriented glossy publications. Keywords: bilingualism in media discourse, code-switch, glossy magazine, gender in language, pragmatic features of code-switches

The Effect of Irrelevant Pairings on Evaluative Responses
Authors: Moran Tal
Published: February 2024

Pairing a neutral object with a valenced stimulus often results in the former acquiring the valence of the latter (i.e., the Evaluative Conditioning [EC] effect). However, the pairing of an object with an affective stimulus is not always indicative of valence similarity. Three preregistered experiments (total N = 1,052) explored EC effects when people were explicitly informed that pairings do not reflect valence similarity. In Experiment 1, informing participants that the paired stimuli are unrelated and therefore irrelevant to each other, reduced but did not eliminate EC effects. In Experiment 2, exposure to pairings defined as irrelevant still produced an EC effect, even when participants were asked to resist being influenced by the pairings. In Experiment 3, irrelevant pairings still produced an EC effect, even when alternative diagnostic evaluative information was provided. The results constrain existing theoretical models of EC and suggest that EC effects are robust.
Assessment and treatment of gesture in neurogenic communication disorders: an international survey of practice
Authors: Caute Anna , Roper Abi , Dipper Lucy , Stark Brielle C
Published: February 2024

BackgroundGesture and speech collaborate in conveying meaning, and gesture is often leveraged by people with neurogenic communication disorders, such as aphasia, cognitive-communicative impairments, and primary progressive aphasia. Because gesture is imagistic, transitory, and holistic, there are inherent challenges when assessing and treating it. AimsThe survey had three primary research questions: (1) what gesture assessment practices, and (2) what gesture treatment practices, are employed by Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) internationally; and (3) what are the factors that influence these practices?Methods & ProceduresAn online survey of practice using Qualtrics was piloted and then disseminated to practising SLTs working with people with neurogenic communication disorders. In addition to descriptive statistics summarizing across the three research questions, statistical comparisons were made for two independent groups: primary work setting (research vs. clinical), and primary work setting considering years of experience specific to neurogenic communication disorders (research, high; research, low; clinical, high; and clinical, low). Outcomes and ResultsN=130 international SLTs completed at least the demographic section of the survey. 50% of respondents reported assessing gesture sometimes/for some clients, with only 5% reporting that they never assessed gesture. Nearly 70% of respondents reported never using a published test to evaluate gesture, with qualitative results suggesting a lack of formal assessments. This was further highlighted by the most prominent barrier being a lack of published tests (50% of respondents said this). The primary reason for evaluating gesture was to assess nonverbal communication. There was no significant difference in gesture assessment practices across comparison groups. The research group, and those within the research group with most years of experience, tended to target gestures during treatment and write treatment goals containing gesture more than other respondents. The most common facilitator to assessing or treating gesture was that the family or individual prioritized gesture for enhancing communication (53.1% of respondents). No group differences were identified for barriers/facilitators.Conclusions and ImplicationsFindings indicate that whilst gesture is a critical nonverbal communicative behaviour, there is an unmet need for empirical and standardised methods for assessing gesture in speech and language clinical practice and there is a lack of gesture-specific treatment resources. SLTs working in research settings may feel more able, or have more resources, to include gesture during treatment. Essential next steps include creating empirical and standardised methods for assessing gesture in speech and language clinical practice.
Premarital Pregnancy and Adolescent Marriage in The Gambia
Authors: Jarjusey Ismaila
Published: February 2024

The project is my thesis in partial fulfilment of Multidisciplinary Master's Program in Demography at Stockholm University. The aim of this paper is to offer fresh insights into women's marriage patterns, specifically during adolesce following premarital pregnancy, as compared to their childless counterparts. Furthermore, it explores whether these differences have evolved over time, given the significant shifts in the norms governing marriage processes observed in various regions worldwide, including The Gambia. The STATA statistical software will be used to clean the dataset, perform descriptive and relevant regression analysis, example ordinary least square regression, survival analysis, fixed effect model etc.
