A set of commands for performing exercises and tasks within the framework of teaching English grammar to technical university students using ChatGPT
Authors: Cherkasova Elena Alekseevna
Published: May 2024

The study aims to develop a set of commands for performing exercises and tasks within the framework of teaching English grammar to technical university students using ChatGPT in order to stimulate their independent learning activities and improve learning outcomes by creating a motivating educational environment. Based on the fact that when teaching English grammar, it is necessary to take into account certain factors, i.e., the sequence of exercises and tasks focused on the gradual mastery of grammatical competence, as well as the balanced development of both receptive and productive skills, and the functional capabilities of ChatGPT, the paper elaborates a set of commands for performing exercises and tasks using the chatbot. The set includes methodological support, gap filling exercises, open the brackets exercises, conditionally communicative and authentic communicative exercises and tasks designed for technical university students’ individually differentiated activities and aimed at the comprehensive development of their grammatical skills. This constitutes the scientific novelty of the study. As a result, the proposed set is a flexible system aimed at the gradual development of grammatical skills, it allows learners to study English grammar without time constraints, provides maximum variability of exercises and tasks, and helps students immerse themselves in the language environment. Nevertheless, despite its functional advantages, ChatGPT has certain limitations, i.e., an exclusively text-based format of interaction and the possibility of inaccuracies in the generated responses, which indicates that at this stage of its development, the technology can only act as an auxiliary tool in teaching English grammar.
Articulation and acoustic characteristics of unstressed and stressed vowels in place of the spelling "a" in the speech of native speakers of different phonovariants of the Russian language
Authors: Goncharova Oksana Vladimirovna
Published: May 2024

The paper is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the implementation of vowel sounds, realized in place of the spelling "a" in the speech of native speakers of various phonovariants of the Russian language. The scientific novelty of the work lies in an integrated approach to the analysis of the variability of pronunciation of these vowels, including an acoustic analysis of formant characteristics, calculation of the Levenshtein distance between pairs of vowels, as well as analysis of the duration of vowel sounds. Such a multidimensional analysis allows us to identify subtle phonetic differences in the implementation of vowels in the speech of native speakers of different regional variants of the Russian language. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the implementation of vowels in place of the spelling "a" in stressed and unstressed positions in the speech of students who are native speakers of various phonovariants of the Russian language. The study revealed a number of trends in the implementation of vowel sounds in the speech of informants from different regions. It was found that the stressed and unstressed ‘a’ after hard and soft consonants is realized with a tendency to more open vowels in the central and northern regions, it was also found that the duration of unstressed vowels in the southern regions is shorter, comparatively with the central ones. Additional studies involving more data are planned to further confirm the trends.
Малаконимы в татарском языке: формирование и развитие
Authors: Galimova Olga Nikolaevna
Published: May 2024

The aim of the study is to determine the features of the formation of the names of molluscs, which constitute one of the groups of zoological terminology. In the course of the work, a corpus of malaconyms in the Tatar language was established, changes in the semantics and structure of terms were identified, models of term formation were studied, and the role of borrowings in replenishing malacological terminology was determined. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time in the Tatar language malaconyms are investigated in a diachronic aspect. Chains of terms that have undergone changes in the course of historical development have been built, which clearly represent the main trends in the development of malacological terminology. Data was obtained on the inclusion of some names of mollusks in the zoological terminology. The conversion model was considered and its specificity in zoological terminology was revealed. Inaccuracies in the names of mollusks recorded in modern publications are indicated. In the course of the study, it was found that in the 20-30s of the XX century, purposeful work began on the selection of names already existing in the language and on the creation of new malaconyms, which contributed to the establishment of models of term formation and the specialization of generic components in complex terms.
DEVELOPMENT OF LINGUА-SOCIO-CULTURAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS AS A FACTOR FOR OVERCOMING THE PROBLEMS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Kovalova Kateryna
Published: May 2024

In today’s dynamic world, intercultural communication between representatives of different cultures and countries comes first. Therefore, the development of lingua-socio-cultural competence is of critical importance. The article studies the relevance of the development of lingua-socio-cultural competence as an important factor of intercultural communication.
The article shows theoretical questions that are a vision of the lingua-socio-cultural competence of students in the study of the language. The main term used in this article is ‘lingua-socio-cultural competence’ and ‘lingua-socio-cultural method’.
In the given article is examined the essence of the notion of ‘lingua-socio-cultural competence’ elaborated by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. In recent decades, the concept of ‘competence’ has become increasingly apparent at the general didactic and general pedagogical level. Increased attention to this concept was also due to the recommendations of the Council of Europe in questions on the renewal of education. Considering the different approaches to the definition of ‘competence’, we conclude in the article that competence is understood as the knowledge that a person must master in the learning process, the result of mastering the content of education, which should be manifested in future professional activities. According to the educational and qualification characteristics of the specialist, students must have not only general technical and special skills, but also be able to find a common language with colleagues, perform a number of management functions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the concept of ‘lingua-socio-cultural competence’ of future students and determine its the structure. At present, interest in different cultures, nations and nationalities is constantly increasing, and the development of lingua-socio-cultural competence is rather necessary. The aim of the article is to review and study the problems of lingua-socio-cultural competence of students as an important component of the general professional competence of specialists.
Key words: intercultural communication, lingua-socio-cultural competence, culture, traditions, professional competence, students.
ASPECTS OF NUMERAL RESEARCH IN UKRAINIAN LINGUISTICS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Authors: Kovtun Oksana
Published: May 2024

The article is dedicated to interpreting the modern understanding of numerals as a part of speech through the prism of both traditional and contemporary grammatical frameworks and new scientific paradigms. It is demonstrated that despite the peripheral nature of this linguistic component, research aspects related to the study of numerals are far from being exhausted today. In the 20th century, numerals were predominantly examined within a focus on traditional grammar and functional grammar, establishing both broad and narrow understandings. In the 21st century, numerals have started to be studied within the realms of the pragmatic, linguocognitive, and linguoconceptual knowledge paradigms, particularly within the perspectives of the emerging linguistic directions such as the poetic grammar, the theory of precedentness, the discourse linguistics, the morphology of evaluation, the grammatical stylistics, as well as the comparative-historical and comparative-contrastive linguistics. It has been established that Ukrainian researchers pay attention to the peculiarities of English numerals, which is associated with its globalization function, and conduct a comparative analysis of the Ukrainian numeral with the English numeral. They also update works on the uniqueness of expressing the concept of quantity through different linguistic units. Separate studies focused on the study of the English numeral are proposed, which is important since English is practically a mandatory subject in secondary schools and universities in Ukraine. Therefore, such research has great significance not only for linguistics but also for didactics. It is noted that the Ukrainian numeral possesses significant potential for modelling evaluative meanings, expression, and artistic linguistic devices. The pragmatic power of certain numerals has been noted, as they have the ability to serve as markers of imagery, emotionality, axiology, expressiveness, and the idiolect of the writer in general. The perspective of research outlined includes the necessity of conducting comparative studies of Ukrainian and English languages, particularly focusing on the morphology of evaluation.

Navigating Innovation in Women Entrepreneurship: The Integral Roles of Psychological Capital, Digital Literacy, and Work-Family Conflict
Authors: Jumriaty Jumriaty , Suhandiah Sri , Candraningrat, Candraningrat, , Wibowo Januar
Published: May 2024

This study examines the impact of psychological capital and digital literacy on innovation in entrepreneurship while also considering the mediating function of work-family conflict. This study utilised a quantitative research approach and involved a sample of 240 female entrepreneurs aged 19 to 50. The researchers collected data through a questionnaire they created and evaluated it using the WarpPLS 7.0 program. The results demonstrate that psychological capital and digital literacy have a significant and beneficial influence on innovation in entrepreneurship. Furthermore, these two variables exhibit a substantial negative association with work-family conflict. Intriguingly, work-family conflict presents a significant adverse effect on innovation. Additionally, psychological capital indirectly influences innovation via work-family strife; however, this indirect effect is not observed with digital literacy. In conclusion, psychological capital and digital literacy are crucial to enhancing innovation among female entrepreneurs. However, the friction that arises from having two roles, known as work-family conflict, might hinder innovation. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach to assist female entrepreneurs in tackling these obstacles.
Keywords: Women's Entrepreneurship, Psychological Capital, Digital Literacy, Work-Family Conflict, Innovation.

Redacción humana versus redacción con inteligencia artificial automatizada: el caso de diario El Rancagüino y las notas algorítmicas
Authors: Apablaza-Campos Alexis
Published: May 2024

El presente trabajo realiza un análisis comparativo de 32 artículos (17 escritos por periodistas humanos y 15 generados por automatización de contenidos mediante IA) publicados en El Rancagüino (Chile) sobre partidos de fútbol del club O’Higgins de Rancagua en el Campeonato Chileno 2023. Pese al incremento de experiencias de IA en medios tras la irrupción de ChatGPT, ni la automatización en el periodismo ni el uso de robots en crónicas deportivas son fenómenos recientes, por ello distintos autores discuten sobre si inteligencia artificial y automatización de contenidos responden al mismo fenómeno. Las redacciones IA estudiadas corresponden a un producto llamado notas algorítmicas creado por la empresa DataFactory. Los resultados comparados permiten detectar que mientras la redacción humana obtiene más páginas vistas, mayor tiempo de permanencia en la página y mayor extensión promedio, los contenidos automatizados incluyen mayores elementos multimedia y en su mayoría se publicaron primero que las crónicas periodísticas. Con todo ello, las conclusiones permiten comprobar que más allá del origen de la redacción existe una relación directa entre la relevancia informativa y la visibilidad de los contenidos. Además, el desarrollo de prácticas automatizadas en las redacciones invita a los periodistas a realizar una producción cibeperiodística de mayor calidad.

Clarinet performance and pedagogy in contemporary art
Authors: Zhexuan Wang
Published: May 2024

The problem of creating a domestic repertoire for clarinet and clarinet ensembles is relevant and at the same time poorly studied, since for a long time it remains outside the sphere of scientific understanding of domestic musicologists. However, the multiplicity, the originality of artistic solutions, the interest of performers in this area of compositional creativity testify to it as a large-scale and original artistic phenomenon with deep history. And if the examples of clarinet creativity abroad have a certain coverage on the pages of research literature, then the analysis of compositions for this instrument in the context of the Russian composer’s heritage requires multi-vector phased coverage, which determined the relevance of the study.

Authors: Jo Taeho
Published: May 2024

This article proposes the modified KNN (K Nearest Neighbor)algorithm which considers the feature similarity and is applied tothe index optimization. The texts which are given as features forencoding words into numerical vectors are semantic related entities,rather than independent ones, and the index optimization is able tobe viewed into a classification task where each word is classifiedinto expansion, inclusion, and removal. In the proposed system, eachword in the given text is classified into one of the threecategories by the proposed KNN algorithm, associates words are addedto ones which are classified into expansion, and ones which areclassified into inclusion are kept by themselves without adding anyword. The proposed KNN version is empirically validated as thebetter approach in deciding the importance level of words in newsarticles and opinions. The significance of this research is toimprove the classification performance by utilizing the featuresimilarities.

Ethical and Practical Concerns of Heart Rate Monitoring: Enabling Communication for Patients with Severe Communication Difficulties
Authors: Kildal Emilie Smith-Meyer , Hofmann Bjørn Morten , Nærland Terje , Andreassen Ole A. , Quintana Daniel S , Hassel Bjørnar
Published: May 2024

BackgroundMonitoring technologies to aid communication in long-term patient care may enhance safety and well-being but may also infringe on privacy. While autonomy is a primary value in medical ethics, definitions of autonomy often take for granted a minimum level of communicative ability. For the ethical debate on autonomy to be extended to people with severe communication difficulties who cannot explicitly approve or disapprove of the use of monitoring technologies, we need to consider the ethical implications of using or not using such technologies for this patient group specifically. Main text This paper explores how contemporary philosophical arguments on monitoring physiological responses can be made applicable to people with severe communication difficulties. It further discusses autonomy concerning the ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence when evaluating the use of heart rate monitoring for this patient group. While monitoring someone without their consent is ethically problematic, providing heart rate monitoring may be morally imperative as a necessary means of interaction, as this patient group is effectively isolated without much possibility to interact with their caregivers. Conclusion Although heart rate monitoring of people with severe communication difficulty can be considered a privacy infringement and a violation of the principle of respect for a person’s autonomy, it can also be autonomy-enabling and of potential beneficence. Balancing the principles and interests of a person with severe communication difficulties is challenging and demands careful and critical ethical reflection.

Researchers’ Perceptions of the State of Social and Personality Psychology
Authors: Schiavone Sarah R. , Vazire Simine , Rhemtulla Mijke
Published: May 2024

We investigate social and personality psychology researchers’ perceptions of the state of the field and of the published literature. To explore how researchers perceive the field to have changed over time, we compare their retrospective perceptions of articles published in 2010, just before the advent of the replication crisis, to their perceptions of articles published a decade later. We also examine researchers’ perceptions of their own work, what qualities they consider important when evaluating research quality, and explore individual differences among researchers’ perceptions. Overall, these findings indicate that researchers in our sample perceive the quality of the published literature to have improved in many ways over the last decade, but perceptions of even the recent literature are mixed. We also identify specific improvements that researchers believe have been made, and what weaknesses they believe remain.
BP sequencer
Authors: Loui Psyche , Parrish Corinna , Wu Xiaotong , Lee Jethro R. , Margulis Elizabeth Hellmuth
Published: May 2024

Music is often considered an important domain for creativity. Traditional studies of musical creativity have examined musical improvisation using jazz as a model. While this approach has yielded many valuable insights about creativity’s cognitive and neural mechanisms, it has limited the study sample to those with the means to engage in improvisation within one specific Western style. Here we introduce a novel tool for assessing musical creativity in the broader sample of individuals with no specialized training. In two experiments (n = 165) we show that this sequencer can be used in people with minimal training to generate a database of sequences composed in the Bohlen-Pierce scale, and to evaluate them for creativity. Results show that creativity ratings are predicted by length of melodies, number of distinct pitches used, and information content of pitch intervals. Results also show some external validity with existing creativity tasks. We advocate the use of this sequencer in creativity research, as it provides a theoretically motivated, rigorous tool to examine the iterative process of producing and evaluating musical creativity.
Eye Tracking in Aging: Challenges, Best Practices, and Novel Frontiers
Authors: Shoenfelt Alayna , Isaacowitz Derek , Ebner Natalie C.
Published: May 2024

Adults aged 65 and older are the fastest growing population demographic. Standard, stationary eye tracking has been used to test for age differences in attention and cognition toward understanding decline trajectories and identifying ways to enhance functioning into late life. More recently, advanced methods of at-home eye tracking, mobile eye tracking, and simultaneous MRI and eye tracking have suggested promise for insight into more dynamic and naturalistic processes of visual attentional and cognitive processing and their brain correlates in aging. Here, we outline challenges, best practices, and novel frontiers in the use of eye-tracking methodology among older adults. We cover considerations pertaining to optimized age-tailored study designs and procedures, eye-tracker setup as well as data quality and analysis. Throughout, we reflect on our experiences conducting novel experiments via at-home and mobile eye tracking as well as simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and eye tracking in aging populations. We also present empirical data comparing quality of eye tracking in the behavioral lab vs. the MRI environment in both young and older adults, in support of eye tracking informing brain-behavior links in aging, while acknowledging trade-offs in data quality of this combined methodology. We propose for future research to leverage these novel, advanced eye-tracking applications for a more comprehensive and real-life capture of attentional and cognitive changes with age.

We studied 54 Finnish first-time mothers and 42 non-mothers in a pay-per-view key-press task where the participants were shown 20 infant faces with smiling and crying expressions. Participants were able to adjust the time each face was visible. In addition, salivary testosterone, estradiol, and cortisol levels were measured and their impact on motivation towards infants analyzed. When controlling for the hormonal levels, happy infant faces were viewed longer than crying faces and there was no difference in mean viewing times between mothers and non-mothers. An interaction between parity and emotion emerged: mothers were more motivated to view happy faces and less motivated to view crying infant faces than non-mothers. Testosterone had a significant effect on viewing times: the higher the testosterone levels were, the shorter amount of time infant faces were viewed. This indicates that testosterone is inversely associated with approach motivation to emotional infant stimuli. This study is the first to compare mothers and non-mothers in a task measuring motivational responses to infant stimuli and indicates that the difference between the approach motivation caused by happy and distressed infant emotions might be more heightened in new mothers.

Individual actors and actor groups are vital catalysts of transformative change as they are able to initiate bottom-up interventions that nurture and protect biodiversity. This paper analyses biodiversity-focused practices across the civil, market and public spheres to identify the modes of intervention that actors in Europe utilise when they seek to fight biodiversity loss as part of their every-day work or voluntary activism. Studying how actors locate and engage with biodiversity issues allowed us to develop a typology of intervention modes and to unravel interlinkages between biodiversity governance and bottom-up action in a new manner. The seven modes of intervention identified from the rich qualitative data demonstrate how modes of biodiversity action vary in terms of the tangible issues they seek to address. Practitioners and activists locate options for change in resource management practices, production and consumption systems, market conditions, and land-use, amongst others. The findings enact a Europe in which cohesion policies, land-use pressures and power lobbies controlling resource management generate resistance and spark innovation. The aspirations to affect policymaking and biodiversity governance vary from one mode to another. The typology also grants visibility to potentially unrecognised modes and mediations along which transformative change is and might be further catalysed. The categorisation of the modes of intervention thus helps policymakers learn from and engage with innovations and niches. It also makes explicit the critical roles that some grassroots actors have adopted, as governance bodies have not done their share in fostering of transformative change.
Older adults’ digital intergenerational contact during COVID-19: Patterns, predictors, and associations with subjective well-being across Europe
Authors: Hu Yang
Published: May 2024

Contact with family is key to sustaining individuals’ subjective well-being, and such contact is becoming increasingly digitalised. In today’s ‘polymedia’ environment, people are afforded diverse modes of digital contact, ranging from phone calls and text messaging (including via email and chat applications) to video calls. Distinct modes of digital contact create differential levels of sociality, which may have varying implications for subjective well-being. As older adults’ in-person contact was severely curtailed during the pandemic, digital contact played a particularly important role in their subjective well-being. Analysing data from the 2020 European Social Survey, this study provides new evidence of older adults’ digital contact with their non-residential children across Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, it identifies four profiles of older Europeans’ digital contact across the modes of phone calls, text messaging, and video calls: low contact (across all modes); phone-only contact; non-visual contact (phone calls and text messaging); and high contact (across all modes). Next, it examines how older adults’ in-person contact, internet access, and digital literacy, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and country-level internet coverage relate to the four identified profiles of digital contact and shape the associations between these profiles and older adults’ subjective well-being. The findings provide new insights into the digitalisation of older Europeans’ intergenerational contact, as well as the micro and macro social conditions configuring the link between their digital contact and subjective well-being.
John Hattie’s failures of academic integrity and the fragility of the education reform movement
Authors: Vainker Stephen
Published: May 2024

This article sets out John Hattie’s extensive and discrediting failures to uphold academic standards in relation to the development of his Visible Learning model of teaching and learning. The failures relate to his use of Edwin Locke’s business-orientated goal-setting theory as the basis for the model. Locke developed goal-setting theory for the purpose of improving employee performance in work tasks, under the influence of the foundational figure of scientific management, Frederick Taylor, and the hyper-libertarian thinker Ayn Rand. Hattie has developed his model of teaching and learning through routinely taking direct quotations from Locke and other goal-setting theorists, often amending them slightly to remove workplace connotations and/or adding educational connotations, and inserting them into his work with only insufficient, indirect citations. Hattie has also taken tables of goal-setting data and reproduced them without citation, in the process introducing errors and misunderstandings. It is argued that Hattie’s failures relate to an irresolvable problem of the reform movement: that it was constructed through joining together the educational with the corporate, an essentially incoherent and politically unsustainable combination. A methodological approach for targeting and pressing on this problem as the basis for more politically persuasive critique of the reform movement is offered.
