Impact of the extended version of Technology Acceptance Model on predicting learners’ adoption to synchronous online learning in Sri Lanka
Authors: Arthika Rajaratnam  
Published: June 2023

Synchronous online learning has played the prime role in controlling the spread of the COVID-19 throughout the world. Despite the technological advancement, the immediate shift towards the synchronous online learning has challenged availability and accessibility to the quality learning due to the over-reliance on the class-room based teaching and learning. Thus, this study focuses on investigating the impact of factors affecting adoption to synchronous online learning amidst the COVID-19 in Sri Lanka. As the consequence, institutions can pay attention on the essential factors to enhance the adoption to synchronous online learning. In this study, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has extended with the external variable of perceived self-efficacy and tested its impact on all other core constructs of TAM. This study used online questionnaire to collect the data from undergraduates of Sri Lankan state universities. Consequently, the study received 382 valid responses. For the data analysis, IBM SPSS statistics 25 and SmartPLS 4 were used and hypotheses were tested using PLS-SEM. The study has identified five variables namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, perceived self-efficacy and behavioral intention to use. Based on the statistical evidence, all the proposed relationships were supported except attitude and perceived usefulness towards behavioral intention to use. Notably, this study has both theoretical and practical implications. To the best of author’s knowledge, this study firstly attempted to investigate the adoption synchronous online learning with the extended version of TAM using PLS-SEM. Most of the previous studies explored the online learning in general. Furthermore, the findings can be used to establish policies to make synchronous online learning more effective, specifically if the any pandemic occurs in future.

THE MUSEUM OF THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY AS AN IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING STUDENTS’ SYSTEMIC IDEA OF THE TECHNOSPHERE
Authors: Avramenko Oleg , Tkachuk Stanislav 
Published: June 2023

The article presents that the museum of the history of technology demonstrates not only the achievements of engineering thought, but also the intellectual and creative abilities of the nation, society, and humanity. It is shown that almost every person constantly deals with one or another technical devices and devices. In this regard, the role of the study of such phenomena as technology and technical knowledge is growing significantly.It is substantiated that the inclusion of educational complexes in the educational process as a source of information and methodological tools is a well-learned technique since the times of Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. From a psychological point of view, the presence of a non-traditional and unusual means of the educational process significantly increases the interest of the objects of influence and, as a result, increases the quality of the educational process. Such factors include modern multimedia teaching aids and educational complexes, such as museums, planetariums, galleries, and others.A draft of the position of the museum as a structural unit of the educational institution has been developed. It has been established that a museum is an institution or a structural unit of an institution, which is created for the purpose of performing educational and cognitive and scientific-methodical functions based on archival data and facts and the reconstruction of objects, events, phenomena and processes.It has been proven that the cultural and historical heritage of mankind in the form of a museum of the history of technology represents the development of civilization as a dynamic picture of the spread of technologies generated by fundamental discoveries made in the world. In essence, we are talking about the technological interpretation of the historical process, the fact that historical events are determined by nothing else than the development of technique and technology, which is one of the formative elements of a holistic and systemic view of the technosphere.

Aluzje kulturowe i nawiązania intertekstualne a kwestia stylu w przekładzie Opowiadań przykładnych Sophii de Mello Breyner Andresen
Authors: Kruk Agnieszka 
Published: June 2023

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia problemy związane z przekładem Contos exemplares Sophii de Mello Breyner Andresen. Bada w jaki sposób przekład łączy ukazywanie aluzji kulturowych i nawiązań intertektusalnych z potrzebą zachowania stylu oryginału. Porównanie oryginału i przekładu, połączone z wyjaśnieniem przebiegu procesu decyzyjnego tłumacza wskazuje, że określenie cech charakterystycznych dla oryginału i obranie określonej normy początkowej pomaga w ustaleniu priorytetów, jakimi tłumacz będzie się kierował. Niemniej jednak w praktyce często konieczność zachowania poetyckiego stylu oryginału wpływa na techniki stosowane przez tłumacza.

Comparison of Mercury and Lead Sediment Concentrations in Lake Ontario (1968–1998) and Lake Erie (1971–1997/98) using a GIS-Based Kriging Approach
Authors: Forsythe K. Wayne , Dennis Michael , Marvin Chris H. 
Published: June 2023

<p>This research analyzed sediment contamination concentrations for mercury and lead in Lakes Ontario and Erie using a GIS-based kriging approach. Environment Canada provided sediment survey data for Lake Ontario (1968 and 1998) and Lake Erie (1971 and 1997/98). Collation and mapping of point measurement data without the application of interpolation methods does not allow for spatial data trends to be fully analyzed. The kriging technique enables the creation of interpolated prediction surfaces, with the advantage that the results can be statistically validated. Although data normality is not required, the kriging results for the historical datasets suggest that it may be desirable, as statistical validity was reduced due to some individual stations having very high contaminant concentrations. Three of the four models developed for the 1997/98 data were statistically valid. For both lakes, the more recent data reveal reduced concentrations of mercury and lead, and there has been an overall reduction in contamination levels. However, sediments in some areas still exceeded Canadian sediment quality guidelines. The areas of greatest sediment contamination in Lake Ontario were within the major depositional basins, presum- ably as a result of historical industrial activities in watersheds along the southern and western shoreline including the Niagara River. In Lake Erie, areas of greatest sediment contamination continue to be located in the western and south central portions of the lake in proximity to the Detroit River and major urban/industrial centres. </p>
An Architectural Dialogue Between Light And Form Biomimetic Form-Finding In Response To Daylight
Authors: Phan Ngan Truc 
Published: June 2023

<p>This thesis applies the morphological adaptation to the sunlight of the leaf epidermis and the luminous moss to address daylighting design issues. Under changes in surface tension when varying their cells’ inflation, these organisms’ elastic material drives the transparency fluctuation responsively to sunlight. The technology with the potentials to interpret these biomimetic principles in architecture is pneumatics: insulating, lightweight, inflatable and collapsible. Pneumatic architecture achieving the quality of multi-translucency has surpassed traditional double-skin facade in performance and environmental aspects, including glare and visual balance. The design process considers the influences of locality and materiality on architectural formation through digital daylight simulations and physical prototyping to investigate the possibilities of the new architectural form, in the context of a medium-scale and deep-floor-plan office. As a result, the dialogue between light and form retrofits the performance qualities of a traditional glass facade and improves user experience. </p>
The Formal Operation of Architecture The Question of Abstraction
Authors: Teyouri Amir 
Published: June 2023

<p>Forms in architecture are the result of an evolutionary process with underlying abstract constituent parts, a process generated and mediated by human cognition. If architecture is taken to be the art of creating inhabitable forms, the inquiry is mainly concerned with how architecture gives form to an intended expression or meaning and what theoretical framework can explain this formal operation. It is argued that the comprehensibility of the intended expression is dependant upon the logical correlation between the objective perceptual aspects of the formal operation with abstract ideas which are derived from the externalities of architecture. The nature of this logical correlation is predicated on abstraction. </p>

Multi-dimensional Feasibility of Bangladesh’s Solar Power Target
Authors: Sultana Moshahida 
Published: June 2023

The declining cost of solar technology and declaration of Japan, China, and Korea to not invest in new coal power plants has opened up new possibilities for the expansion of solar deployment worldwide. Bangladesh has also scrapped the plan to build new coal power plant like many other lower middle-income countries in Asia. However, the lower middle-income countries were not able to take the opportunity of the declining solar cost in last one decade and the growth of solar remained in the formative phase for most of the developing countries. Bangladesh has already missed the target to generate 10% from renewable by the year 2020. The increasing emphasis on solar globally and locally has pushed the government to set ambitious targets without considering the techno-economic, socio-technical, and political feasibility of solar. This research has used process tracing based on policy documents and interviews to explore the mechanisms through which solar deployment grew slowly in Bangladesh. Then, this paper found out the feasible, moderately feasible, ambitious, and highly ambitious solar targets of Bangladesh and identified the factors that can increase the multi-dimensional feasibility of solar targets. It shows that market mechanism alone cannot increase feasibility of the target and argues that socio-technical and political feasibility must also be considered in setting realistic target.

The Strategies for Overcoming Cultural Untranslatability: The Case of Rabindranath Tagore’s Gora
Authors: Halim Md Abdul 
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to show the cultural untranslatability of Rabindranath Tagore’s Gora (1910) by analyzing the translation of the novel by W.W Pearson. Both the source and translated texts are studied using the content analysis method keeping the central motif in mind. The present research paper finds that Gora is so deeply rooted in Bengali cultural issues, that the translator has faced immense difficulties in making those cultural substances familiar to the target audience. The translator has used some strategies for overcoming cultural untranslatability such as borrowing and naturalization, definition, addition, substitution, transliteration, cultural equivalence, omission, etc. but in spite of the use of these strategies, the translation remains at a distance from the source text. However, the translator has mostly employed one approach, but on rare occasions he has utilized more than one, for example, transliteration with addition or definition, to give the intended audience a clear understanding of what is being said.
