Pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards artificial intelligence and its integration into EFL teaching and learning
Authors: Pokrivcakova Silvia 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Even though artificial intelligence (AI) is no new occurrence, with its beginnings dating back to the 1950s, its use has gained popularity worldwide, especially in recent years, and its presence and importance has grown in many areas of human lives, including education. Surveys conducted internationally have found generally positive attitudes of university students towards artificial intelligence (AI) and its inclusion into various fields of research and study. However, only few research probes have been conducted among students of philology and future language teachers. No such research has been conducted among university students or pre-service EFL teachers in Central Europe. This paper aims to fill this gap in educational research knowledge, as knowing teachers’ and teacher students’ attitudes towards AI can be a key factor in the success or failure of applying AI in education. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the level of knowledge and dominant attitudes towards AI in general, AI in learning/teaching EFL and the inclusion of AI in the teacher training curriculum among pre-service EFL teachers in Slovakia.
To collect data from the respondents, a cross-sectional survey in the form of a KAP questionnaire was conducted in November-December 2022. 137 pre-service English language teachers responded to a pre-tested online questionnaire consisting of 19 closed-ended (5-point Likert scale) items and one open-ended question.
Slovak EFL pre-service teachers were equally interested (38.67%) and uninterested (39.42%) in the ongoing discussion about AI in education. Overall, they self-reported having no (61.31%) or unsatisfactory (21.17%) understanding of the basic computational principles of AI. On the other hand, they were significantly more satisfied with their knowledge of AI-based applications for EFL teaching, which they considered adequate (35.04%). Nevertheless, almost half of the students (45.25%) rated their knowledge as inadequate. It was therefore encouraging to learn that 64.24% of the respondents agreed that AI education should be included in their university curriculum and had predominantly positive expectations of AI and its application in education. 63.50% of them agreed with the statement that AI will improve education in general (compared to only 18.98% who disagreed). They shared a predominantly positive attitude towards the incorporation of AI into EFL and showed their optimistic expectations regarding the impact of AI on teaching and learning English as a foreign language. Slovak EFL pre-service teachers did not express any concerns about the future of their profession. However, a majority of them (53.28%) agreed that EFL teachers might lose some of their skills when using AI in their practice and a significant number (42.33%) feared that AI would make EFL teaching less personal. These findings are consistent with previous research conducted internationally.
The Transformative Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Management Consultancy Sector
Authors: Samokhvalov Konstantin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This paper explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the management consultancy sector over the next five years. Tracing the evolution of AI from its inception in 1956 to recent language and image capabilities, the study addresses the imminent challenges posed to consultancy by AI startups. Examining global legislative approaches, including the EU’s strict AI Act, the UK’s flexible stance, the self-regulatory approach in the US, and China’s targeted regulations, it unveils the legislative ambiguity for software developers. The essay anticipates transformative implications on consultancy firms, emphasizing the war for talent, potential shifts in business models, and the evolving role of consultants as agents of thought. As AI becomes integral, consultancy firms are urged to adapt, incorporating AI into their models while navigating ethical and legal considerations. The paper underscores that while AI will automate mundane tasks, strategic decision-making remains a strength of consultancy firms, ensuring continued relevance in the evolving landscape.
Historical Transformations of the Russian Literary Canon in Russia and the United Kingdom
Authors: Deriglazova L. V. , Pogorelskaya A. M. 
Published: February 2024

The article aims to reveal the changes in studies of Russian literature in Russia and the United Kingdom in the last three decades. The authors use the concept of the Russian literary canon to highlight the differences in the content and focus of the study of Russian literature. The empirical base of the research is Russian official documents, school textbooks, syllabi of university courses in Russian literature, and the collections of university libraries in the UK. Russian literary canon has changed to bridge the ideological break in Russian literature of the twentieth century. In Russia, the main channel for transmitting the canon is school education. The study of literature is supposed to ensure the formation of national identity, patriotism, humanistic values, and understanding of the exclusivity of Russian literature. The national canon understood as “compulsory reading”, performs socializing, educational, and stabilizing functions. The study of Russian literature in the UK began in the late 19th century at universities, where course content reflected the changing political context. Library collections and university curricula demonstrate the wide range of authors and research topics studied. The study of Russian literature in the UK could not be defined through the Russian literature canon as there is no mandatory reading, and it is studied mainly in translation. Thus, there is no connection between language and literature. The stable interest in the UK towards Russian literature of the 19th and 20th centuries confirms that it belongs to the world’s cultural heritage beyond national borders.

“My Soul, Why Art Thou Full of Trouble”: Hester Pulter’s Apostrophe to the Soul
Authors: Hatton Nikolina 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The poems of Hester Pulter (1605–1678) provide insight into the religion and politics of a woman writing through the English Civil Wars and Republic. This paper focuses on Pulter’s use of the apostrophe to the soul and on her abstention from employing disciplinary metaphors that so often characterise devotional poetry. In merging the devotional apostrophe to the soul with complaint, Pulter effectively jettisons the penitential aspects of these approaches, creating a hybrid form in which her body provides comfort to her grieving soul. Pulter thus creates a form of devotional poem that relies on an aesthetics of comfort instead of discipline. By utilising the affordances of the apostrophe – its ability to bring the speaker and its addressee into a relation with one another – Pulter enacts a spiritual unification and in so doing makes implicit claims about the emotional and spiritual efficacy of poetry.
Die Verflüssigung des Realismus
Authors: Günther Clemens 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Using Dmitrii Mamin-Sibiriak’s novel Chleb (Grain, 1895) and Aleksandr Serafimovič’s narration Peski (Sand, 1908) as exemplary texts, this paper discusses how the mill becomes a central figure of reflection of catastrophic ecological and economic transformations in the Russian empire at the turn of the century. These transformations are conceptually condensed in the term “liquefaction”, which Zygmunt Bauman famously defined as the “key metaphor of modernity”. In motifs and metaphors of the liquid, I argue, economic and ecological logics intertwine, leading not only to a new spatial but also to a new temporal and social order of society.
Neurosurgery as an opportunity to correct symptoms of mental and behavioural disorders
Authors: Krylov V. V. , Rak V. A. 
Published: February 2024

Neurosurgical treatment for psychiatric disorders has a controversial history. This branch of neurosurgery called by developer of prefrontal leucotomy and Nobel prize laureate Egaz Moniz “psychosurgery”, was initially based not on scientific researches, but on enthusiasm of individuals and pressing social need. The outcome of psychosurgery regardless of its clinical benefits was the negative attitude of the broad masses and medical community, some countries have banned psychosurgery – the era of psychopharmacology has come. However, some patients suffering from severe course of the psychiatric disorder are resistant to conservative treatment.Over the last decades, the novel neuroimaging methods and neurobiological researches have considerably improved understanding of the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and scientific validity of the surgical intervention into the neural circuits. In this article, the main stages of the history of the psychiatric neurosurgery are briefly reviewed. Furthermore, the clinical and surgical considerations including the anatomic target localization, outcome and possible complications of the major operations which are still in practice are presented. The new neurosurgical techniques such as deep brain stimulation and gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery were also considered. The part of the article is devoted to ethical, legal and terminological issues of psychiatric neurosurgery.
