Summary of DNS traffic filtering trends as a component of modern information systems security
Authors: Danylo Chepel  , Serhii Malakhov
Published: November 2024

The study analyzes sources related to methods and technologies for DNS (Domain Name System) traffic filtering. Five main directions are identified that are actively used to enhance security at the DNS level. All examined technologies offer improvements in the quality of DNS filtering. It is emphasized that combining different approaches simultaneously can enhance overall security. The summary of research results on DNS traffic security issues indicates certain problems in the quality of the threat intelligence channels used. Therefore, the implementation of AI and LM technologies should enhance the "depth" of extracting useful information about current threats. It is emphasized that the consideration of information security issues should be conducted exclusively in the context of preventing the disparity of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in favor of the adversary (i.e., cybercriminals). Practically, this means that future DNS filtering systems should widely implement the latest advancements in VR, AI, LM, and DL technologies. This is particularly important in countering Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) mechanisms and the spread of botnets. The specific issues of ensuring a consensus on the security and performance of current information and communication systems when implementing DNS encryption tools are highlighted. The primary problem associated with DNS traffic encryption is the potential for its misuse by attackers to conceal their destructive activities (phishing, spam, etc.).

Published: November 2024

The work briefly reviews the history, types, and capabilities of the main types of firewalls (FW). Firewalls are an important tool for protecting network resources from various information security threats. With the development of technology and the changing nature of attacks, especially those involving artificial intelligence (IoT), firewalls have also evolved, acquiring new functions and capabilities. This work provides a short survey of the main types, and capabilities of firewall technology, providing solutions to issues of comprehensive protection of network equipment and information resources from modern security threats. Different types of firewalls are used depending on the conditions of operation and purpose of the basic information and communication system (ICS), as well as on the place of their (FW) integration into the network or virtual infrastructure of modern information systems. For integrated networks that require a high level of their security, productivity and flexibility, firewalls of the business segment of generation «Next-generation» and «Threat-focused NGFW» are definitely the best choice. Attention was drawn to the fact that mobile firewalls should in every way contribute to the maintenance of resource consensus and eliminate a possible disparity in the performance of networked mobile applications. Adaptability to mobility of current communication systems (Wi-Fi, GSM and others) determines the specificity of security threats for mobile devices and It defines their key feature. This feature is based on permanent readiness for seamless transitions (reconnections) between different networks in conditions of constant energy shortage and limited available computing resources (meaning gadgets). Highlights the main trends, prospects for the development and implementation of different types of firewalls, including the impact of artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud technologies and the Internet of Things as well as important aspects of their (FW) scope. It is emphasized that the introduction of FW does not replace other security technologies and tools, but effectively expands the existing arsenal of countering new security threats (primarily as an instrument of proactive countermeasures and rapid response to complex network incidents). The article may be useful for students, researchers, and information security professionals who seek to expand their competencies related to the development and operation of modern means of network protection.
Development and implementation of a method for checking the integrity of the design of an object-oriented system
Authors: Mykyta Pugach  , Iryna Zaretska
Published: November 2024

Creating modern software products is a complex and long process consisting of many parts. To achieve quality, it is necessary to carry out various measures for testing and verifying software at all stages of development. This article discusses the software design stage, which is integral and one of the most important. In most software development life cycle (SDLC) models, this stage is one of the first, so design mistakes will lead to problems in all subsequent stages. Thus, due to the high cost of error, it is very important to check the integrity of the developed design at the design stage. The article examines the problem of finding contradictions in object-oriented design. The authors present a set of contradictions that can arise in such a design and aim to develop methods and algorithms for detecting and searching for these contradictions in order to improve the quality of the design, as well as writing software that will implement these algorithms and methods. The program "diagrams.net" was chosen as a tool for creating object-oriented design, the main useful feature of which is the ability to present the created diagrams in the form of an XML file in the popular drawio format. The authors of the study propose a method for parsing the XML file of the diagram and presenting it as a set of objects, such as dependency arrows, classes, methods, etc. These objects must interact according to the established rules.The violation of these rules is a contradiction of the object-oriented design. As a result of the study, a method of finding contradictions was presented and implemented in the Java programming language.
Adapting international social responsibility experience to Ukrainian content
Authors: Golovko Olena , Oriekhova Kateryna
Published: November 2024

In the conditions of martial law, business activities directly impact the reputation of the company, as well as consumer and public attitudes. Corporate social responsibility is crucial for economic stability, job preservation, and ensuring budget revenues. Studying and disseminating the experience of Ukrainian companies' social responsibility during the war is necessary to solidify practical experience and ensure their impact on the economy and society in the future.
Purpose, objectives and research methods. The aim of the research is to study and promote the experience of corporate social responsibility of Ukrainian companies during martial law, as well as to formulate recommendations for consolidating best practices in the future. The subject of the research is corporate social responsibility in wartime conditions, specifically of Ukrainian companies, and their impact on society and the state.
The research employs critical analysis of existing concepts and definitions of corporate social responsibility, comparative analysis of international social responsibility models (American, European, Japanese), as well as in-depth analysis of practical examples from international companies. The information base of the research includes scientific papers, statistical data, and practical examples of social responsibility implementation by well-known companies.
Research results. Corporate social responsibility is becoming a key element not only for enhancing corporate capitalization but also for global socio-economic development. The social responsibility models in the USA, Europe, and Japan demonstrate different approaches: individual, collective, and intra-family. The American model emphasizes personal philanthropy, the European model focuses on state regulation and income redistribution, while the Japanese model highlights corporate collectivism and employee social protection.
The practical value of the results lies in the fact that analyzing different models of social responsibility allows for adapting these practices to Ukrainian realities. Practical recommendations for integrating elements of international experience can help Ukrainian companies enhance their social responsibility and positively impact the economic and social development of the country.
The conclusions drawn can be used to develop a national model of social responsibility, taking into account international experience and the specifics of the Ukrainian economy. This includes state propaganda, local budget involvement, tax incentives, and mandatory social reporting.

Authors: Patel Jayesh , Pathak Haryax , Rathod Ayushi , Barot Manushree
Published: November 2024

Background: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are abnormal communications between an artery and a vein. Posttraumatic AVFs, including those in the popliteal fossa, are rare but require prompt management to prevent complications.Case Report: A 35-year-old male presented with a painful, pulsatile swelling over the left knee, 15 days postarthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Clinical examination showed a 5 × 5 cm2 tender swelling with a palpable thrill. Computed tomography angiography revealed a communication between the popliteal artery and vein. An endovascular intervention was performed using two Bentley covered balloon expandable stents. Post-procedure, the patient showed uneventful recovery, with follow-up Doppler scans indicating normal vascular flow and no residual abnormalities.Conclusions: Post-traumatic AVFs, often resulting from penetrating injuries or iatrogenic causes, can present with painful, pulsatile swellings and may lead to severe complications if untreated. Advances in endovascular techniques, such as stenting, have improved outcomes such as reduced post-operative morbidity, eliminating complications associated with open surgery.

Authors: Yao Xiaochao
Published: November 2024

This paper explores how institutional innovations in Free Trade Zones (FTZ) and Free Trade Ports (FTP) promote cultural exchange and soft power construction. Through a systematic literature review and policy analysis, it is found that institutional innovations in FTZs and FTPs, including relaxed restrictions on foreign investment in the cultural industry, streamlined approval processes for cultural exchange activities, the establishment of diverse cultural exchange platforms, and optimization of cultural talent introduction policies, effectively enhance the depth and breadth of international cultural exchange. These efforts have significantly improved China’s cultural soft power. A case study of the Hainan Free Trade Port demonstrates how proactive cultural policy innovations have led China to achieve notable success in international cultural exchanges, offering new ideas for global soft power competition. This study provides reference recommendations for future policy formulation and academic research, especially in optimizing cultural policies in FTZs and FTPs to further enhance cultural soft power.
The Judicial Application of Crimes of Helping Information Network Criminal Activities
Authors: Cui Yisa
Published: November 2024

With the in-depth development and extensive application of information technology, the use of information network crime is increasingly rampant, and the fundamental purpose of this is to regulate the helping behavior in network crime. In judicial practice, the application of this crime shows a trend of rapid expansion, but at the same time, there are also some difficulties and disputes, which are mainly reflected in the subjectivity of the identification of “knowing” in the constitutive elements, and the ambiguity of the definition of “helping behavior” and “serious circumstances.” Based on this, people should clarify the connotation of the constituent elements of the crime, and unify the identification standards of the crime, to achieve accurate application in judicial practice for better governance of network crime.

CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP. CURRENT STATE AND FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Petrushikhina Elena B.
Published: November 2024

The article considers modern issues in the study of charismatic leadership. It notes theoretical limitations of the study of charismatic leadership: the uncertainty of charisma and the factors of its formation, the uncertainty of the processes of influence of the leader on followers, the emphasis on dyadic processes, ignoring the dynamics of the development of charismatic leadership. It also considers as newest concept, the theory of charisma as a value-based symbolic and emotional signal of a leader. The author emphasizes the role of moral emotions and embodied signals associated with bodily experience in the formation of charismatic leadership. She shows that personal predictors of charisma are cognitive abilities and the Big Five factors. Charismatic leadership is found to foster growth in organizing the civil society, in the group and organizational effectiveness. There is also an indication of the importance of the charisma concept as a symbolic and emotional signal for the practice of management and personnel management. Directions for further study of charismatic leadership are outlined: expanding qualitative research, using experimental strategies, searching for objective indicators of charisma, identifying personal predictors of charisma, including gender characteristics, Dark Triad traits, non-academic types of intelligence, studying the connection between charisma and the emotional sphere of a leader, studying the development of charismatic leadership taking into account cultural, professional and organizational context.

Published: November 2024

The objective of the study was to compare the clinical efficacy and pregnancy outcomes of methimazole and propylthiouracil in managing hyperthyroidism during pregnancy. This retrospective analysis included 100 pregnant women with hyperthyroidism, who were divided into two groups: the methimazole group (Group A) and the propylthiouracil group (Group B). Indicators such as thyroid function, liver function, pregnancy outcomes, and newborn health were closely monitored. The results revealed that both groups experienced a reduction in thyroid function indicators, with Group B showing a more modest decrease. Group B exhibited a higher incidence of liver injury but also achieved more full-term pregnancies. There were no significant differences in adverse reactions, miscarriage rates, or cesarean rates between the two groups. Apgar scores were higher in Group B, while neonatal weights were comparable. We conclude that propylthiouracil improved thyroid function more substantially than methimazole although it was associated with a higher risk of liver injury.

The "SusCatinTing" application is a digital health intervention designed to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of brides-to-be regarding stunting prevention during the critical first 1000 days of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this application in improving stunting prevention efforts among brides-to-be in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The application provides educational content on healthy pregnancy, maternal nutrition, and stunting prevention strategies, incorporating both text and audio explanations to ensure accessibility for illiterate and visually impaired users. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a single-group pretest-posttest approach involving 50 pairs of brides-to-be with internet-connected Android smartphones. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires administered by trained enumerators, focusing on KAP related to stunting prevention. The results indicated a significant improvement in KAP scores post-intervention (knowledge score increase: 42.59, p < 0.001). The application’s unique features, including interactive quizzes and a certification process for marriage registration at the Office of Religious Affairs, contributed to its effectiveness. The study concludes that the "SusCatinTing" application is a promising tool for enhancing health education and promoting preventive behaviors among brides-to-be. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of such digital interventions on stunting rates and maternal-child health outcomes.

CULTURAL UNIQUENESS IN MASABEDE AND KADUGOLLA DIVINE RELATIONSHIPS
Authors: P Palaya
Published: November 2024

For the Masabede and Kadugolla tribes, 'God is the Panchaprana' is omniscient and worships innumerable gods. Originally, these two tribes belonged to the Vaishnava or Shaiva sect, which is an inextricable entanglement. Those who were herdsmen, who were nomads in search of grass and water in the past, are the gods placed in bamboo boxes to facilitate transportation. If we see that there are equal numbers of Shaiva and Vaishnava gods among the gods that they brought with them when they migrated, we can see the divine confluence of Shaiva and Vaishnava. The deities celebrated by Masabeders are Nalujaruva of Challakere taluk, Bosedeva of Bosedevarahatti, Peddathirumaladev of Bedreddihalli, Kampalarangaswamy of Kampaladevarahatti and others like Katamlingeshwar of Katappanahatti of Challakere taluk and Bommalinga of Gaurasamudra Deities such as Shvara, Pamudlu Gurunath of Pamudlu Bedag of Obanahalli, etc. are identified as important deities in this part. Similarly, Saha deities are also found in Kadugollar who are of Yadava descent. The deities they worship in the Challakere area are Kadarinarasimha Swami, Junjappa (the home deity of Kadigollar), Ettappa, Chittappa, Halappa, Chikkannaschami, Banjigere Eranna, Siddhaiah, Katappa, Iramuddappa, Nagappa, Bhutappa, Patappa, Kaytappa, Thimmappa, Chitradeva and others. Although identified as worshipers of Vishnu with the celebration, Saha is also identified as Saiva worshipers with the worship of Shaiva deities. Shiva worshipers wear Nama on their foreheads, Vishnu worshipers wear Vibhuti.

The tourism sector is one of the most significant sectors globally. Tourism has been given significant importance in almost all states of India. State governments are actively pursuing opportunities to capitalize on their tourist resources and potentials. The tourist sector in Madhya Pradesh plays a crucial part in its economic growth. The individuals employed in this business are the fundamental pillar supporting its success. Therefore, the implementation of robust HRD processes is essential for their growth and progress. The tourist promotion organizations must verify if the HRD practices implemented in Madhya Pradesh guarantee employee loyalty and whether these practices foster employee happiness, as well as how employee satisfaction leads to employee engagement. The study examined the HRD procedures used by public sector tourist organizations in Madhya Pradesh, with the aim of identifying the specific techniques employed by these agencies. The study asserts that both employee happiness and employee engagement exert a substantial impact on enhancing employee loyalty. Therefore, the study corroborates the current literature that asserts a favorable correlation between employee happiness and employee loyalty. Similarly, the present study provides solid evidence for the beneficial impact of previous research on staff engagement including employee loyalty. Ultimately, the study validated the theoretical framework elucidating the correlation among HRD practices, employee happiness, employee engagement, and employee loyalty. This is achieved by analyzing the data using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and ultimately formulating structural equation modeling through hypothesis testing.

AN ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF CAUSE-BASED MARKETING
Authors: Modasiya Soaeb Mohammed , Ambavale Riddhi
Published: November 2024

Social media marketing is the utilization of social media technologies, channels, and software to create, communicate, deliver, and exchange offerings that have value for an organization’s stakeholder. Marketers and consumers are at present extending their communication through a dynamic new media called the social network. This is the latest development in advertising products and communicating with consumers. Social media is one of the fastest-growing, which encompasses enormous spontaneous brainstorming among its network members for developing an opinion . Actually, this robust social media platform has created an exemplary scope for any brand to advertise its product through exposure, attention and perception; to develop opinions; and to create values. The use of traditional one-way communication to promote consumer perception and boost favourable attitudes towards product value has been dramatically losing its persuasive influence due to the overarching appeal of Facebook as a method of connection for peers Now product judgement, evaluation and perception and the final attitude development processes have been drastically aligned with a new pattern of multidimensional communications where consumers are more interested in and find more credibility through pursuing and streamlining peered opinions instead of getting traditional marketing advertisements. Cause marketing creates a context for social activism by inducing pro social behaviour in consumers; however, not all consumers find every social issue relevant to their interests, values and goals. Marketers use messaging strategies to convey the importance of a social issue and make it seem relevant enough to motivate consumers to behave in a desirable way. In this era, social media platform can be integrated into the cause marketing strategy. This new technology sets out new mechanisms and communication tools that companies, governments and anyone who wants to engage in cause marketing  can rely on to interact and engage with actual and potential customers.

Authors: Tkachenko Irina N. , Meteleva Marina A.
Published: November 2024

The Russian economy is currently lagging behind developed nations in terms of innovation, which necessitates adopting relevant approaches to managing socio-economic systems to keep them competitive and ensure their sustainable develop ment. Large corporations have significant resource potential and social power, which makes it relevant to improve management of their entrepreneurial activity that stimulates innovation development. The paper aims to judge the quality of entrepreneurial management systems at large corporations and evaluate their innovation performance. Corporate governance theory and man agement theory constitute the methodological framework of the study. The research methods used are qualitative, regression and comparative analysis. The empirical data are obtained from 160 corporations included in 2023 RAEX-600 Ranking and rep resenting 21 industrial sectors, as well as data from the RF Federal State Statistics Service and the All-Russia data system on com panies and business “For Honest Business” for the period of 2010–2022. The study identifies 19 elements of the entrepreneurial management system at large corporations, e.g., the presence of an R&D center, startup support, commitment to open innovation, a corporate venture fund, etc., and assesses how intensively they are used across industries. As for the innovation performance of the system under review, no statistical relationship was observed between performance indicators of many corporations and the volume of shipped innovative products. Thus, the research reveals that entrepreneurial management systems at a large number of corporations lack innovation performance, which requires further research into their quality.

El mal seco es la enfermedad más destructiva del quequisque (Xanthosoma violaceum). El aislamiento de Pythium myriotylum requiere de muestras de raíces frescas; por lo que se deben desarrollar técnicas de aislamiento específicas y medios selectivos. En este estudio, se evaluaron técnicas para el aislamiento de Pythium myriotylum y se determinó la patogenicidad de microorganismos asociados a mal seco en quequisque. Se evaluaron tres métodos de aislamiento: a) diluciones de suelo, b) raíces con síntomas de mal seco, y c) hojas de quequisque como cebos [HQC]. Se colocaron los aislados en diferentes medios de cultivo a) papa dextrosa agar, b) agar agua + sulfato de estreptomicina, c) V8 + Pimaricina, Ampicilina, Rifampicina y Benomil [PARB]; y d) el medio cloruro de tetrazolio, para bacterias. Se utilizaron claves taxonómicas para la identificación de los microorganismos aislados. La patogenicidad se evaluó en invernadero con vitroplantas de quequisque Lila al inocular los aislados obtenidos, solos y su combinación, al sustrato estéril y un tratamiento testigo sin inoculación. Agentes patógenos como P. myriotylum, F. solani y R. solanacearum, fueron aislados. Pythium spp. tuvo un crecimiento micelial con estructuras fructíferas abundantes con el método HQC en V8-PARB. En la prueba de patogenicidad, los tratamientos combinados con P. myriotylum mostraron síntomas de afectación en las raíces. El método de aislamiento de Pythium myriotylum a partir de suelo, con hojas de quequisque y combinado con el medio de cultivo V8-PARB fue el más efectivo, obteniéndose aislados con micelio abundante que facilitaron su identificación morfométrica. P. myriotylum provocó síntomas característicos de mal seco en las vitroplantas de quequisque lila. Las plantas inoculadas con F. solani y R. solanacearum, solos o combinados, no presentaron síntomas de mal seco.

Published: November 2024

VOC merupakan sekelompok senyawa organik yang mudah menguap ke atmosfer dan mempunyai berbagai dampak terhadap kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan. VOC merupakan faktor penting dalam pembentukan ozon troposfer dan aerosol organik sekunder, yang menjadi komponen utama pembentukan polusi udara. VOC dapat terkandung di dalam udara sisa pernapasan manusia, dengan konsentrasi yang berbeda-beda dan sangat bergantung dengan kondisi metabolisme tubuh, kebiasaan, makanan yang dikonsumsi, dan lain sebagainya. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi konsentrasi TVOC dari udara hembusan nafas (exhaled breath) yang kemudian dijadikan sebagai profil udara yang dapat membedakan klasifikasi perokok atau non perokok. Penelitian ini menggunakan 50 sampel nafas yang dibagi ke dalam dua klasifikasi utama, yakni perokok dan non perokok. Udara bersih terfilter digunakan sebagai variabel kontrol. Sampel nafas diukur konsentrasi VOC menggunakan sebuah e-nose berbasis sensor CCS-811 yang sudah dikalibrasi dan diuji menggunakan komparator dan beberapa gas, seperti: gas karbon dioksida (CO2), hidrogen sulfida (H2S), etanol (C2H5OH), dan formaldehida (CH2O). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem e-nose berbasis sensor CCS-811 dapat membaca gas VOC dengan rata-rata pembacaan yang dihasilkan sebesar 0-1156 ppb dengan tingkat kesalahan relatif <50%. Keseluruhan hasil pengujian ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem cukup sensitif terhadap gas CH2O dan C2H5OH, namun tidak sensitif terhadap gas CO2 dan H2S. Berdasarkan pada hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem dapat secara sensitif dan selektif mendeteksi senyawa VOC pada jenis C2H5OH dan CH2O dengan nilai akurasi >50%. Hasil pembacaan sistem pada sampel nafas perokok dan non perokok dapat menghasilkan tiga zona konsentrasi TVOC yang selanjutnya menjadi profil  has TVOC yang dihembuskan oleh kelompok sampel. Terdapat perbedaan yang cukup signifikan antara konsentrasi TVOC perokok dan non perokok. Sistem dapat membedakan antara perokok dan non perokok dengan akurasi pembacaan >90%.

“Who Cancelled Lee Highway?”: Expressions of White Racial Frames and Counterframes on Nextdoor
Authors: Maskell Shayna
Published: November 2024

In July of 2021, the Arlington County Board, just outside of Washington, DC, voted to change a major thoroughfare – previously known as Lee Highway – to Langston Boulevard. Despite this well-publicized and openly debated name change, the sight of the new road caused an uproar on the neighborhood social media site, Nextdoor. While social media sites have been central to the mobilization efforts of racial justice activists, these same sites are also often fundamental to a growing and more visible community of white supremacists. This study focuses on the ways in which geographic proximity, through the social media site Nextdoor, constructs community-based expressions of racial justice and whiteness. Using the 151 posts and responses that were published on Nextdoor the day after the street name change in a neighborhood in Arlington, VA, this study analyses how a primarily white, upper-class neighborhood publicly communicates its understanding of race and racial justice. This study was grounded in Feagin’s (2020) concept of the white racial frame, an overarching white worldview dominant in the Global North that embraces a broad and persisting set of racial stereotypes and ideologies. Findings suggest community members engaged in equal numbers in white racial frames and counterframes. Within the white racial frames, community members used whiteness as virtuousness and non-whiteness as unvirtuous, while counter-frames primarily relied on unveiling the white racial frames used. These findings indicate the ways in which social media as a form of communication works to reinforce existing spatial hierarchies while also reimagining community participation.
What’s behind the Attitudes of the Ethnic Bulgarians in Reproductive Age towards Interethnic Marriages with Members of Bulgaria’s Turkish Community?
Authors: Stoytchev Lubomir , Tomova Ilona
Published: November 2024

This piece of research investigates the determinants of ethnic Bulgarians’ attitudes towards interethnic marriages with members of Bulgaria’s Turkish community. A statistical analysis was conducted to examine the role of socio-demographic factors in shaping these attitudes. It discusses many factors but focuses on the statistically significant educational attainment, settlement type, family status, and net income. Higher levels of education do not necessarily lead to more tolerant attitudes towards interethnic marriages. Settlement type and family status emerge as influential determinants. Income is important in shaping attitudes, with the better-off households exhibiting higher approval rates to interethnic mixed marriages. These and other findings contribute to understanding interethnic attitudes and provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders working towards fostering social cohesion and inclusion.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the capacity of video-streamed content related to intangible cultural heritage (ICH) associated with Chinese ethnic minorities to enhance cross-cultural competence and perceptions about ethnic minority communities among users from China’s ethnic majority. Moreover, the research examined how users’ motivations and demographic factors moderate these relations. Utilizing a quantitative online questionnaire to examine video-streaming users in China, the research employed linear regression and hierarchical regression analyses to test these relationships. The findings indicated that cross-cultural attitudes and skills served as positive predictors of participants’ affinity for ethnic minorities, suggesting more favorable cross-cultural attitudes and skills led to more liking of ethnic minorities. However, these factors did not forecast stereotypical perceptions of ethnic minorities. Notably, cross-cultural knowledge was found to have no predictive capability regarding either affinity or stereotypical perceptions. Furthermore, user motivations to use live-streamed ICH content, specifically amotivation and regulation, were found to significantly moderate the connections between cross-cultural competence and attitudes toward ethnic minorities. In other words, participants who perceived the benefits of using live-streamed ICH content contributed to the relationships. These findings provide substantial insight into the complex interrelationship between digital media use, cross-cultural competence, and interethnic attitudes in China’s context. The study highlights the ability of video-streamed ICH content to foster positive interethnic relations while unpacking subtle influences of user motivation in the process. The findings presented here may guide the development of approaches aimed at utilizing digital platforms to enhance cultural comprehension and mitigate stereotypes within multicultural communities internationally, thus enriching the overarching discussion regarding the influence of digital media on the formation of cross-cultural perceptions and interactions.
Algebraic thinking profile of pre-service teachers in solving mathematical problems in relation to their self-efficacy

Algebraic thinking is a person’s ability to understand, analyze, and solve problems using algebraic concepts to simplify statements and find solutions. Currently, many prospective teachers still lack proficiency in applying algebraic thinking skills. Self-efficacy is one of the factors that influences algebraic thinking ability. This study aims to reveal the relationship between self-efficacy and algebraic thinking skills in pre-service mathematics teachers. In the context of solving math problems, especially algebraic ones, algebraic thinking skills are crucial. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, the study employed interview guidelines, questionnaires, and tests as instruments. The results show a clear correlation between the level of self-efficacy and algebraic thinking ability. Pre-service teachers with high self-efficacy can effectively evaluate information, use symbols to represent variables, and solve algebraic equations well. They are also able to determine the values of unknown variables. On the other hand, participants with moderate self-efficacy can interpret and communicate information but are less systematic in selecting problem-solving steps that involve abstraction. Participants with low self-efficacy struggle to interpret information and cannot explain the relationship between the information in the problem and the question asked, leading to incorrect solutions. The conclusion of this study is that the higher the level of self-efficacy, the better one’s algebraic thinking ability. This indicates the importance of enhancing students’ self-efficacy to support more effective algebra learning.
The effect of calculus and kinematics contexts on students’ understanding of graphs
Authors: Barniol Pablo , Zavala Genaro , Dominguez Angeles
Published: November 2024

In this study, we compare students’ understanding of the derivative as slope and the antiderivative as the area under the curve using isomorphic graph-based problems in both calculus and kinematics contexts. Drawing from previous research, we designed two isomorphic tests, each with 12 items, and administered them to 543 university students. Our findings show that students performed significantly better on the kinematics test, with a higher rate of correct answers in some items. We also identified the most frequent errors and general trends in students’ selection of incorrect answers across both contexts. Based on these results, we provide specific recommendations for improving the instruction of these concepts. The analyses, recommendations, and tests included in the study can serve as valuable resources for mathematics and science education researchers and instructors teaching these topics. This study offers insights into how context influences students’ conceptual understanding, with implications for enhancing calculus and physics education.
