Perceptions of 21st-century digital skills and agency among design sprint participants in Laurea UAS, Finland
Authors: Mononen Asko 
Published: April 2024

This explorative study investigated students’ (N=16) perceptions before and after the study unit Digital Analytics and Consumer Insights. The studies were conducted as an intensive hybrid five-day design sprint, a variant of project- and problem-based learning. An online questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used for data collection. The findings indicate that the intervention improved perceptions of most studied digital “hard skills” (8/11 claims). Out of twelve 21st-century “soft skills” claims, perceptions were high initially and improved significantly for critical thinking and systematic problem-solving claims during the design sprint. The agency scores showed a slight improvement but no significant difference. Face-to-face groups would be willing to recommend the sprint method more for peers than online groups. In the era of global turbulence and artificial intelligence, in addition to hard skills, soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving and project management are in demand by employers. According to LinkedIn data in 2/2024, adaptability is the most demanded skill. In addition to traditional subjects, the pedagogical methods in higher education should better support the development of 21st-century skills.

Published: April 2024

Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is an autoimmune disease manifested by both repeated attacks and a persistent inflammatory process with progressive destruction of cartilaginous structures, in particular, chondritis of the ears, nose, larynx, bronchi, and joints. RPC is a rare disease (about 1000 cases have been described worldwide). Diagnosis of RPC and the choice of treatment tactics are very difficult, which is associated with the rarity of the pathology, undulating, unpredictable course, and the lack of specific laboratory markers.The clinical observations presented in the article confirm the complexity of diagnosing RPC. Before the disease was verified, both patients repeatedly consulted different specialists: the first patient was diagnosed 3 months after the onset of characteristic symptoms of RPC, and the second patient – 1.5 years later. Late diagnosis and the lack of a unified approach to treatment were the reason for the development of prognostically unfavorable lesions in the second patient – chondritis and perichondritis of the larynx.

Purpose: The study aimed at determining the gender gap in agricultural productivity: A case of Smallholder Farmers in Busia Kenya.
Methodology: The research employed a correlational research approach, utilizing multistage sampling to choose 384 participants from seven sub-counties within the study region. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires, and analysis was conducted on quantitative data using descriptive statistics and inferential methods with STATA version 17. The findings were presented using tables and figures.
Findings: The study revealed a statistically significant gender gap in agricultural productivity in Busia-County at the expense of female farmers. Specifically in Teso North, gender gap was -0.43 with a p-value of 0.049, in Teso south, gender gap was -0.63 with a p-value of 0.040, in Bunyala, gender gap was -0.67 with a p-value of 0.035, in Butula, gender gap was -0.47 with a p-value of 0.002, in Matayos, gender gap was -0.72 with a p-value of 0.041, in Nambale, gender gap was -0.64 with a p-value of 0.041 and In Samia, gender gap was -0.67 with a p-value of 0.036. It was concluded that female farmers are less productive than male farmers in Busia County Kenya.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Drawing from production theory, and social feminist theory, the study investigated the relationship between productivity and gender among smallholder farmers. To address the gender gap in agricultural productivity, it is recommended that policymakers, agricultural extension services, and other stakeholders advocate for gender-inclusive agricultural development initiatives in the area.
Rabbit Hole: Photography, Magic and Reality
Authors: Babnik Jan , Jernejšek Jasna 
Published: April 2024

The Rabbit Hole projects simultaneously question the present-day reality and unveil the ways of its technological embeddedness while hinting on the possibilities of its future permutations. Are we really in contact with reality? Or are we left at the mercy of constant flickering and perpetually changing simulations, copies, and representations? Which one is the right one? But, truly, is this even the right question? The exhibition projects revolve around of the failed encounter of the reality and photography – on their descent into phantasmagorical landscapes of contemporary visibility and on the social consequences of the intoxication that this rapid descent brings. As a contemporary versions of the burnt images from the Cuna indigenous rituals they create an illusion and defend us against the “cold” petrifying, spectral order of technology – but then again – just maybe they only anesthetize us just before we crash into dystopian social reality.

Seorang guru baik tingkat SD,SMP,SMA mereka harus memiliki kepercayaan diri yang lebih. Terkhusus guru SMA yang mengajar siswa usia dewasa awal dimana tingkat kognitif yang dimiliki pastilah sudah terbentuk dari pengalaman-pengalaman sebelumnya. Dengan adanya hal tersebut tantangan dalam menyampaikan materi pastilah lebih sulit disbanding tingkatan yang lebih rendah. Tantangan itulah yang mampu menimbulkan rasa cemas pada diri guru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kecemasan dengan kepercayaan diri pada guru. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan jumlah responden 35 guru. Teknik pengampilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling ( guru berjenis kelamin perempuan), dengan analisis data

Artificial Neural Networks for Solar Radiation Prediction: Case Study, Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq
Authors: Al-rubaye Ahmed , M. Al-Khuzaie Marwah 
Published: April 2024

For solar energy to develop a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels, it is important to be able to correctly predict surface longwave radiation. To improve cost-efficiency and accuracy in surface longwave radiation (SLR) predictions, forecast systems are increasingly utilizing artificial neural networks (ANNs). This study uses two different procedures for predicting solar radiation in great detail. The first model uses weather statistics from a station in Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq. The second model, on the other hand, uses daily statistics from 2022 from NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy dataset for the same site. The scaled conjugate gradient technique was used in both models. The goal is to find the best mix of meteorological factors that can be used with an ANN model to achieve accurate predictions. Based on the findings of this study, temperature, relative humidity, and Rainfall all seem to have a big effect on SLR. On the other hand, windy weather doesn't have much of an effect on SLR. ANN models also did very well when trained with data from NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy, with an R2-value of 0.823 and an RMSE value of 0.0106. The results show that this mix does better than other models in terms of performance score.
Reinforcement Learning-Driven Decision-Making for Live Virtual Machine Migration in Fog Computing
Authors: Alqam Shahd , Alzeidi Nasser , Touzene Abderrezak , Day Khaled 
Published: April 2024

Virtualization is an essential mechanism in fog computing that enables elasticity and isolation, which in turn helps achieve resource efficiency. To bring high flexibility in a fog environment, migration of virtual machines from one node to another is required. This can be achieved by live virtual machine migration to reduce downtime and delays. Multiple existing studies have discussed live virtual machine migration in a fog environment. However, these studies have some limitations, such as pre-migrating the virtual machines based on mobility prediction only or based on the load only, which causes an issue of late and early handover. Due to the dynamic nature of fog environments, VM migration decisions require consideration of multiple factors. Hence, there is a need to develop a system that considers multiple factors to decide to migrate a virtual machine or not to solve the issue of early and late handover. This study proposes a novel approach to live virtual machine migration that applies reinforcement learning for decision-making. Experiments show that the proposed approach significantly reduces the latency of time-critical applications. The proposed system, outperforms the existing systems in terms of total average reward. The system outperformed the mobility-only-based system by 97% when tested with two fog nodes and by 80% when tested with sixteen fog nodes in terms of average reward. Further, the proposed system outperforms the load-based system by 50% and 75% when the environment consists of two fog nodes and sixteen fog nodes, respectively. This proved that considering multiple factors in deciding virtual machine migration in a fog environment can be effectively applied in time-critical applications to reduce latency.

Published: April 2024

The research is conducted to determine the cotton price distortions, as well as competitiveness at national and international levels. National competitiveness has been measured by using the nominal protection coefficient (NPC) and benefit-cost ratios for the period 2008-09 to 2018-19. To gauge international competitiveness, trade base indices under the revealed comparative advantage approach are used. A comparison of the international competitiveness of Pakistan with major cotton-exporting countries has also been made. The results of this research revealed that at the national level cotton producers in Pakistan faced implicit taxation for most of the years during the study period, as NPCi averaged at 0.87 as an import substitution crop. Export parity prices were slightly less or equal to the domestic prices by varying degrees as NPCe averaged at 1.06. The production cost grew at the rate of 12.3% per annum, while cotton output prices grew at the rate of 8.4 percent per annum. Consequently, a decrease was registered in the benefit-cost ratio during the study period. Pakistan has experienced comparative and competitive advantage for cotton as indicated by results of revealed comparative advantage (RCA) indices. A comparison of Pakistan’s indices with main exporters/competitors demonstrated that Pakistan has a relatively higher comparative and competitive advantage for cotton. However, Pakistan’s international competitiveness exhibited a declining pattern since 2011-12. This result is consistent with the national level scenarios as the benefit-cost ratio has declined over this period. It can be concluded that productivity growth and a reduction in input costs are needed to improve overall competitiveness in cotton production and trade.

Теоретико-психологический анализ современных представлений о профессиональной идентичности: проблемы развития. Часть 2
Authors: Брызгалин Евгений , Александрова Юлия , Пряжников Николай 
Published: April 2024

Профессиональная идентичность (ПИ) — одна из самых актуальных тем в научной психологии. Несмотря на это, в ее рамках остаются малоизученные и проблематичные аспекты, среди которых важно упомянуть развитие профессиональной идентичности в период ранней взрослости (молодости), зачастую включающий этап студенчества. Существует много академических взглядов на становление ПИ в указанную фазу жизни, и особенный интерес представляют наиболее согласованные из них, однако они находятся во многом в бессистемном состоянии в научно-психологической литературе. Для того чтобы исправить это положение, мы провели вторую часть литературного обзора, посвященную генезу профессиональной идентичности. Нам удалось показать, что 1) формирование ПИ в целом зависит от особенностей профессионального выбора, результатов профессиональной социализации, самодетерминации профессионального поведения, а также профессионального совершенствования; 2) такие свойства личности, как рефлексия, адаптивность, мобильность (гибкость/пластичность) и умение устанавливать и поддерживать связи, благоприятствуют обретению реализованной ПИ и способствуют переживанию профессиональной конгруэнтности, дающей импульс к наслаждению собственной профессией; 3) молодость – сензитивный отрезок жизни для становления ПИ, поскольку человек активно ищет себя в профессиональном плане, причем существенное влияние на этот процесс оказывают уровень образования, социально-экономический потенциал, отношения с семьей и со сверстниками, а также хобби; к тому же в силу самобытности ПИ в ранней взрослости ее необходимо изучать независимо от других стадий личностного развития; 4) у студентов могут быть всевозможные формы ПИ, но достигнутая профессиональная идентичность присуща тем из них, кто прикладывает наибольшие усилия для профессиональной самореализации. Мы приходим к выводу, что исследования профессиональной идентичности должны продолжаться, чтобы заполнить многие пробелы: это может принести не только научно-теоретическую, но и практическую пользу.
Study of the Human Microbiota Under Physiological Conditions
Authors: Staff Editorial 
Published: April 2024

Profiling the human intestinal environment under physiological conditions involves characterizing the various components and factors in the gut to understand its normal functioning. This profiling can encompass multiple aspects, including the microbiome, host immune response, metabolites, and the physical environment of the intestine. Shalon and colleagues developed an ingestible device that collects samples from multiple regions of the human intestinal tract during normal digestion. The collection of 240 intestinal samples from 15 healthy individuals using the device and subsequent multi-omics analyses identified significant differences between bacteria, phages, host proteins, and metabolites in the intestines versus stool. Certain microbial taxa were differentially enriched, and prophage induction was more prevalent in the intestines than in stool. The host proteome and bile acid profiles varied along the intestines and were highly distinct from those of stool. Correlations between gradients in bile acid concentrations and microbial abundance predicted species that altered the bile acid pool through deconjugation. Furthermore, microbially conjugated bile acid concentrations exhibited amino acid-dependent trends that were not apparent in the stool. Overall, non-invasive, longitudinal profiling of microorganisms, proteins, and bile acids along the intestinal tract under physiological conditions can help elucidate the roles of the gut microbiome and metabolome in human physiology and disease.
