Published: July 2024

Plantain stem have a high cellulose content, which has drawn significant attention from academics and industry professionals seeking to create pulp and paper that is environmentally friendly. The method used for turning these plantain stem into pulp and paper was found to be soda chemical pulping. Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the chemical structure of the bleached and unbleached pulp obtained from he pulping and bleaching pocesss was ascertained. The effects of these independent variables (temperature, concentration of sodium hydroxide, and cooking time) on pulp yield were investigated using the response surface method (RSM). The ideal circumstances were attained concerning the three parameters under study—, these are 25 minutes, 120 oC, and 15%— for cooking duration,temperature, sodium hyroxide concntration respectivey.Under ideal conditions, the pulp yield was 35%.The results of the study demonstrated that the sodium hydroxide concentration significantly affected the pulp production. At the lowest concentrations of 15% NaOH, the maximum yield was observed at 35%.From the work, three papers were produced to ascertain their mechanical characteristics. Amongst the three papers produced from the different yield obtained. Paper B, has the highest elongation and tensile strength at breaking load of 1.30mm and 42.10 kg/cm2 respectively compared to paper C which has an elongation at breaking load of 1.27mm and tensile strength at breaking load of 41.03 kg/cm2.Paper A thas the lowest elongation at breaking load of 1.25mm and a tensile strength at a breaking load of 40.93 kg/cm2 .

Settling a State—Settling for a State: Reinterpreting One Hundred Years of Zionist–Arab Relations
Authors: Osheroff Eli 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In recent years, a more coherent, widespread critique of Zionism as a form of settler colonialism has developed in Western academia. Despite its critical assumptions regarding Zionism, this conversation has yet to influence one of the core images of the Zionist-Arab encounter, mainly that of Palestinian intransigence versus Zionist political flexibility. According to this stereotypical image, these contrasting political characteristics played a central role in allowing a Jewish state to be established in a large part of historical Palestine, while an Arab one did not materialize. By examining political encounters between Zionists and Palestinians over the course of more than a hundred years, this article shows that, in fact, Palestinian leadership and Palestinians generally were willing to settle for an internationally recognized Arab-Palestinian state at key points. By contrast, Zionists usually exhibited greater ambivalence toward the idea of a recognized state, preferring to settle for something else, mainly expansionism. By adopting a counterintuitive approach, this article seeks to contrast the colonial dimension of Zionism with the more flexible and ultimately more state-and norm-oriented quality of Palestinian nationalism.
The Denationalization of Iraqi Jews: The Legal and Rhetorical Production of Otherness
Authors: Saleh Zainab 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article examines the ways Iraqi Jews have been portrayed as foreigners who do not belong to the national realm, whether in the past or the present, through a discussion of articles in ultranationalist newspapers between 1948 and 1970, and laws of denaturalization from 1950 to 2006. In Iraq, the process of articulating Arab solidarity in support of Palestine entailed the disarticulation of an Arab/Iraqi Jewish identity. As Jewishness was dissociated from Arabness, it was linked to Zionism in that being a Jew was translated as being loyal to the Zionist project of nation-building in Israel and as being disloyal citizens who were intent on the destruction of Arab countries. While denaturalization laws constituted a legal process of denationalization, the anti-Jewish rhetoric in the ultranationalist press entailed the de-Arabization and deindigenization of Iraqi Jews, namely the denial of cultural and political belonging and their rootedness in Iraq. This article discusses the anti-Jewish rhetoric in ultranationalist presses in order to show how denaturalization laws codified, and lent legitimacy, to these Othering discourses. Even though the views embraced by ultranationalist writers did not represent the majority of Iraqi society, their narrative was embraced and reproduced by Iraqi officials when they enacted denaturalization legislation.

The Program of Two-way immersion is a form of integration students from two different groups and contemporary studying of two languages and subjects on these languages. The method as a method was appeared in Canada in the early 1960s. The program of TWI adherence to the following criteria: 1. The number of students is the same in two group; 2) groups gathered into one group according to the main subjects; 3) all main subjects are taught in two languages simultaneously. Two types of TWI program: 50\50; 90\10. This qualitative study aims to examine teachers’ views on the implementation the bilingual program into educational process of Kazakhstan. The literature review showed that Two-way immersion program is one of the innovative methods within the trilingual education of Kazakhstan, that not sufficiently studied and approved. It was hypothesized that TWI program makes an effect on trilingualism of Kazakhstan. For checking the awareness of this program, it was conducted an experimental work in Karaganda Buketov University, Kazakhstan. (103 teachers from the faculty of foreign languages, within five departments: Department of foreign philology; Foreign languages department; Department of translation theory and practice; Department of the theory and practice of foreign language training; Department of the practical foreign language course)The results demonstrate that this program is not sufficiently studied, becomes relevant in the educational process and informative, as well as to create the necessary methodological recommendations. The usage of TWI program improves the system of bilingual education in Kazakhstan, expands the level of professional readiness of teachers and students, develops high levels of academic competence and motivation.
Using the lens of liminality to understand important steps in creating conditions for networked learning in work-integrated learning
Authors: Lindqvist Marcia Håkansson , Stockenstrand Anna-Karin 
Published: July 2024

In this paper university teachers' and professionals’ work in the BUFFL project, a networked work-integrated lifelong learning project with flexible online course modules. The project involved a meeting space between academia and industry bank organizations or insurance companies in Sweden. Previous research in the project reported that four important steps are important for a successful establishment of a networked community of practice and networked learning. In this paper, the concept of liminality, or a liminal space, is used to explore work-integrated learning. The short paper concludes that there is a balance to strike between the risks and possibilities of liminality in learning in practice. From the different perspectives of liminality, a balance is needed when academia and industry meet. While both academia and industry bring their formal spaces and structures, this meeting can be said to create a liminal space that provides a free and uncertain place of possibilities where learning and transformation take place.
Agency and signification in learning with digital technologies
Authors: Schiavetto Stefano , Schnaider Karoline 
Published: July 2024

This paper put an approximation of Actor-Network Theory – ANT (cf. Callon & Latour, 1981; Latour, 1988; Latour, 1993; Latour, 1994) and representational philosophies deriving from the social semiotic multimodal theories (e.g., Hodge & Kress, 1988; Kress, 2010; Kress & van Leeuwen, 2021; van Leeuwen, 2005) to the fore to conceptualize how meaning-making (known as sign-making, learning, the process of signification, Bateman, 2018; Bezemer & Kress, 2016; Kress, 2010) via technologies come about from the technologies' various prompts. It is essential to recognize how representations such as semiotic resources – here, technologies and sign systems – have agency to form social practices. They are agentively selected, interpreted, and acted upon by the user into meaning-making activities (Jewitt, 2008, 2009, 2014). The technologies' front- and back-end properties' semiotic regimes (van Leeuwen, 2005; Djonov & van Leeuwen, 2018a) in different configurations can function as actants by symmetrically translating interests between humans and non-humans, into hybrid existences (Callon & Latour, 1981; Latour, 1994). Humans and technical objects are not rigid and independent substances (Platonic) but beings in constant (re)associations, which modify their existence (Callon & Latour, 1981; Latour, 1994). In that sense, Callon and Latour's claims can be understood in line with the genesis and development of representations that, from a historical epistemological perspective (Wartofsky, 1979), are in constant (re)associations by technologies, cultures, social practices, and humans. As humans mediate by means of their representations (Wartofksy, 1979), the representations are re-shaping and re-shaped through the history of reproduction that impacts interaction, meditation, and meaning-making (Kress, 2010; van Leeuwen, 2005; Wartofsky, 1979). The purpose of this paper is to briefly sketch a future research aspiration striving to theoretically approximate the ANT and representational philosophies and examine what kind of agency digital technologies impose on the users and how the users draw upon that imposition in their meaning-making. Crucially, such a reflection can heighten current understandings of the intricate relationships and networks created by humans and digital technologies in contemporary learning settings such as school to better appreciate students' digital learning from a representational agency perspective integrating the “signifieds-in-transformation” and “actants.” In preparation for future research studies, the following research question guides the theoretical explorations: who acts in the process of signification in learning activities with digital technologies?

Емоційно-мотиваційна готовність підлітків з ментальними порушеннями до виконання конвенційних ролей
Authors: Хохліна О. П. , Горбенко С. Л. 
Published: July 2024

У статті представлено результати теоретико-емпіричного дослідження проблеми емоційно-мотиваційної готовності підлітків з ментальними порушеннями до виконання конвенційних ролей. Конвенційні ролі – це стандартизовані ролі, які передбачають певні обов’язки, правила виконання, шаблон поведінки у конкретній груповій ситуації. Найважливішою конвенційною роллю, виконання якої значною мірою позначається на діяльності підлітків з ментальними порушеннями, на їх соціалізації та особистісному зростанні, є роль здобувача освіти (учня/учениці). З метою вивчення особливостей емоційно-мотиваційної готовності підлітків з ментальними порушеннями до виконання конвенційних ролей було використано методи теоретичного аналізу та узагальнення психолого-педагогічної літератури, опитування та тестування з використанням стандартизованої психологічної методики вивчення спрямованості особистості Б. Басса. Для обробки емпіричних даних використовувалися процедури якісного та кількісного їх аналізу. Дослідною роботою було охоплено 32 учня/учениці закладів освіти із спеціальною та інклюзивною формами навчання м. Києва. Вивчення емоційно-мотиваційної готовності підлітків з ментальними порушеннями до виконання конвенційної ролі здобувача освіти здійснювалось за показниками: позитивне чи негативне ставлення, його стійкість та дієвість. Воно показало, що учні характеризуються середнім рівнем сформованості та ритуальним характером її виконання. Виявлене свідчить про необхідність спеціальної організації освітнього простору учнів зазначеної категорії з метою формування у них готовності до виконання конвенційних ролей за повнотою характеристик. Отримані результати дослідження не претендують на вичерпне вирішення окресленої проблеми, однак містять дані, що мають наукову новизну та практичне значення. Необхідним є подальше дослідження з вивчення готовності підлітків з ментальними порушеннями до виконання конвенційних ролей відповідно до всіх її структурних компонентів та повноти характеристик, а також з можливостей застосування новітніх форм, методів і засобів її формування у процесі навчання та корекційно-виховної роботи.
Fairness, Bias, and Ethics in AI: Exploring the Factors Affecting Student Performance
Authors: Gordon Neil , Al Jaber Tareq , Omughelli Doris 
Published: July 2024

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a data science tool for education has enormous potential for increasing student performance and course outcomes. However, the growing concern about fairness, bias, and ethics in AI systems requires a careful examination of these issues in an educational context. Using AI and predictive modelling tools, this paper explores the aspects influencing student performance and course success. The Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD) is analysed using several AI techniques (logistic regression and random forest) in this study to reveal insights about fairness, ethics, and potential biases. This dataset has been used by hundreds of studies to explore how educational data mining can provide information on students. However, potential bias or unfairness in that dataset could undermine the results and any conclusions made from them. To gain insights into the dataset's properties, this was analysed using a typical data science methodology, which included data collecting, cleaning, and exploratory data analysis using Python. By applying AI-based predictive models, this study aims to detect potential biases and their impact on student outcomes. Fairness and ethical considerations are central to the analysis as the representation of various demographic groups and any disparities are evaluated in course results. The goal is to provide useful insights on the proper use of AI in education, while also maintaining equitable and transparent decision-making procedures. The findings shed light on the complicated interplay between artificial intelligence, fairness, and ethics in the context of student performance and course success. As artificial intelligence continues to influence the educational landscape, this study will provide useful ideas for encouraging fairness and minimising biases, resulting in a more inclusive and equal learning environment.
