Blended Learning and MyEnglishLab Application as a Powerful Tool Leading Towards Autonomy in the Process of Learning English Language Targeting and Activating Both Brain Hemispheres
Authors: Vymetalkova Danuse 
Published: January 2023

The benefits of blended learning encouraging students to become more active, autonomous, selfâ€“esteemed and responsible for their own approach to learning and self-perception as a student are obvious. As educators we find student engagement in the process of learning as a key factor to exploitation of provided learning. Basically, the more student engagement there is, the better results occur. As we understand blended learning, it does not mean the reduction of a face-to-face and person-to-person contact time spent in a classroom, but at the same time it means a greater demand on engagement and participation of learners. Choosing the right tool for blended learning is also challenging, neglecting the fact that most of such tools meet demands to create, add or adjust the content to teacherÂ´s or course needs, which can be considered as highly professional and very time-consuming work. In the article we give reasons and show that MyEnglishLab application is the ideal combination of all requirements of an up-to-date blended tool combining mobility and accessibility on the one hand, and a highly attractive content customized with the paper printed materials (textbooks) on the other hand. MyEnglishLab activities and exercises, generally the content itself, provide such a wide range that stimulates either the right or left brain hemispheres. Our results with teaching adult learners at the University of Hradec Kralove show studentsÂ´ preferences of using logical thinking, i.e. activated left hemisphere. Since MyEnglishLab application appears as an open application, in the article we also discuss troubling language issues from the Czech studentÂ´s point of view, and we give examples of different exercises targeting and activating both brain hemispheres whose activation or cooperation significantly influence learnersÂ´ outcomes.Â Keywords: blended learning; MyEnglishLab; multimedia application; adult learners; graphs and puzzles
New Learning Environments for Street Children
Authors: Povian Cristina Maria , Dumitrescu Cristian 
Published: January 2023

Despite many efforts and programs meant to improve the life and the access to education for children in need, the number of children living or working on the street is not decreasing.Â In order to rehabilitate and to reintegrate this category of children in society, we conducted studies in order to understand their needs and perceptions better. The tests we performed proved that the needs of a child who lives or lived on the street are totally different from those of other children and also there perception of the architectonical environment also. The aim of this article is to present the tests which were performed on four categories of children: children who were in an orphanage, children who are in a centre, street children and children form common families; and the results that prove the necessity of creating special learning and rehabilitation environments for children who live or lived on the street.
E-Learning for all. A cross border project for strengthening the overall capacities of the CSOs
Authors: Vrabie Catalin 
Published: January 2023

This article aims to present an e-learning conceptual framework that will lead to strengthen the overall capacities and accountability of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). It will also provide ways to guarantee the quality of services of CSOs as well as ways to build up a sustainable role of them in the democratic process through e-learning. CSOs in EU have a well-developed content for the capacity development and taking this into consideration, we will use some already implemented projects as good examples for the present study. An important component of those projects was the Capacity Development of CSOs, the main objective being to increase the capacity of CSO representatives. This was done by offering them new knowledge on contemporary methodologies and techniques as well as the opportunity for exchange and practical knowledge via the development and delivery of e-learning capacity building programmes. This encompasses regional and national trainings, regional and national conferences, development of educational materials and so on. What is important is the fact that critical thinking of CSOs is increasing mostly because of the applied e-learning and blended learning approaches to the trainings and capacity building programmes to the organizations. Many CSOs in EU conduct local/regional/country level training courses on topics of common interest. Manuals and training guides are being published as part of the initiative â€“ but are those of any good? Why not use electronic media to develop a set of basic training components to successfully reach the target audience? The value of this paper came from the research we have made among the e-learning projects implemented in Romania and Turkey, trying to find out if the objectives and the scopes have been fulfilled properly. The way we are going to do that, is by analysing the outputs of the projects we have implemented as partners or leaders, looking mostly to the dissemination plans.Â Â Â

Authors: TÃ®rziu Andreea-Maria , Vrabie CÄƒtÄƒlin I. 
Published: January 2023

The main feature of the NET Generation is the fact that it is the first generation which â€œgrew up digitallyâ€. Young adults today are so immersed in bits that they perceive them as an integral part of their natural environment, thus developing and imposing their culture and beliefs to the rest of the society, specifically by using digital media. Objectives: The purpose of this article is to show the framework on which young people develop a creative and innovative thinking by using online methods of obtaining and sharing information. Approach: It shows the literature that focuses on online learning, with priority to the generationsâ€™ updated skills and abilities. Results: With their reflexes adjusted to todayâ€™s speed and freedom, these resourceful young persons are starting to transform all institutions of modern life, replacing a culture of control with one based on performance. Value: In this paper, we will see that technology has started to play a main role in the social evolution, but this fact will not necessarily lead to a better society. This does not mean that technology should be blamed, but the other way around â€“ in the digital world, there are sketched many developments that raise legit hopes in regard to the existence of new forms of human cohabitation and social interaction. It is required however, in this context, to place technology in a new economic, political and social framework.Â Â Â
Maritime figurative and literal multiword terms in the ESP classroom: A blueprint
Authors: Molina-Plaza Silvia 
Published: January 2023

The aim of this paper is two-fold: a) look into the socio-cultural background of the most common twenty five sub-technical multiword naval units in a pilot corpus of 250,000 words, some of them metaphorical & metonymic expressions (Kovecses, 2002; Wray 2002); b) study ten of these metaphorical units in their contexts of production (EU maritime discourse, textbooks and http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/news/04/ras/. Multiword units have been chosen with WORDSMITH TOOLS, regarding frequency of use a key factor. The conclusions point out that these multiword units are highly productive in oral and written maritime discourse and worthy of investigation. They reveal that both denotative (in terminological collocations) and evaluative meanings may be embedded in lexical-semantic structures. The lexicographical description of these collocations in learnerâ€™s dictionaries available in Maritime English ends with the recognition that development of collocations seems necessary if we are to witness some further progress forÂ ESL learners in productive mode.Â

Authors: Nezakatgoo Behzad , Alibakhshi Goudarz , Mezajin Sohrab Rezaei 
Published: January 2023

It has been argued that story retelling can affect language learning. Despite the existence a number of studies on the impact of telling and retelling story on the EFL learnersâ€™ learning of different aspects of language, no one has ever investigated the impact of story retelling on intermediate Iranian EFL learnersâ€™ learning of grammar. This study aimed at investigating the impact of story retelling on intermediate Iranian EFL learnersâ€™ learning of grammar. In doing so, 60 male and female students were selected through convenience sampling. They were divided into two intact classes. The experimental classes were requested to retell the stories told by the teacher twice. After, they received 15 stories, all classes received a test on grammar. The data were analyzed through running independent sample t-tests. The results showed that experimental group outperformed the control group. Therefore, it could be argued that retelling has significant impact on EFL learnersâ€™ learning of grammar.Â Â Â Â Â

Published: January 2023

Paper's goal is to elicit features of formation a lifelong education system in Russian tourist and hospitality industry. Internet resources monitoring of 30 organisations realizing programs in tourist and hospitality; 10 in-depth interviews with program heads are used as methods. The results show that the absence of a special division for coordinating programs; that the existing theory and methodology do not correspond to a problem of training competitive experts; incoordination of purposes and problems of programs and priorities of employers; absence of professional competences; non-standard-issue documentations; absence of the unified registering of documents of graduation prgrams. The current system has to be modernized. The principle of lifelong education has to be the basis for developing drivenness and responsibility, strengthening ability to adapt to the economic, social and professional transformations.

Published: January 2023

As in most parts of the country, the integration of the CAEx in the teaching of physical science in Moroccan high schools has seen an important development during the past years. The decision to implement CAEx in Moroccan education was taken by the department since 2009. From the academic year 2012/2013 the CAEx is part of the program of the CRMEF (teaching training to be able to use it). As part of a systematic research on the design of practical work by teachers of physics-chemistry of Moroccan school, we realized the majority of the experiences of the textbook of the secondary cycle which was a barrier to students in the absence of the CAEx (principale of inertia, second Newtonâ€™s law, response of a RC dipole at a voltage level...etc) Aquestionnaire to trainee teachers and the teachers about the use and the contribution of the CAEx to the physical science teaching in Moroccan high school. The results of this study and their interpretation are presented in this article : The time savings, presentation of the values and more accurate results, make less effort to achieve its objectives.Keywords: CAEx, Experience,obstacle,Moroccan high school,teacher trainee/holder.

Published: January 2023

Loneliness in children and adolescents is explained as an emotionally obtrusive experience arising from sadness and anxiety coming out of quantitative or qualitative deficiencies in social relationships of the child. Loneliness which is expression of general well-being and gratification obtained from life of individual as a whole effect the life quality of a child. In this research a cross-sectional and correlational study out of quantitative research methods was designed and conceptual model constituted in the direction of aim of research was examined by structural equation modeling. According to result of study,loneliness predict life quality negatively. This situation is quite important because social workers, psychological counselors,teachers and administrators would determine studentsâ€™ feelings of loneliness and would develop and implement programs for these children to establish deeper and more stable relationships with their friends and families.Keywords: Loneliness, life quality, structural equation model.

Introducing greater innovation into the culture and capabilities of organizations worldwide, a requirement of todayâ€™s society,is an issue currently in need of scholarly attention. The present investigation is being undertaken within the context of FINCODA, a European Project involved in the development of new reliable tools for innovation competences assessment. The study aims at devising a search protocol for a systematic review of the literature on behavioral indicators of innovators published from 2000 onwards, indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The specific keywords used in the search include the following fields: (1) workplace; (2) innovative behaviour, innovative work behaviour and individual innovation; (3) indicators. A preliminary search with these keywords retrieved 1,350 references. Then, the process of filtering data by title and abstract to meet inclusive and exclusive criteria refined the search. The materials identified are expected to prove useful in the definition of behavioural indicators of innovative people at work. Moreover, they will help in the analysis of the relation of the descriptors found with the innovative indicators of a barometer created within a previous European Project, INCODE, and in the further design of a tool to measure employeesâ€™ innovation.

Foreign Language Education in Kazakhstan: Paradigms and Trends
Authors: Sulkarnayeva Assiya Raphailovna 
Published: January 2023

Purpose â€“ to make a review of changes in Kazakhstan foreign language education system and to analyze its modern trends.
Methods â€“ descriptive, comparative, analytical.
Findings and Results.
Paradigms (1991-2011). The analysis on gradual modernization of foreign language education (FLE) in Kazakhstan has revealed the following changes: legislative determination of languages status (Kazakh, Russian and English); establishment of educational organizations of various levels with advanced learning of foreign languages as well as with a chance of acquiring professional education and experience for both learners and teachers; refusal from some traditional and introducing new forms of education (MA and PhD); introducing new specialties within BA, MA and PhD levels; transmission of Professional Qualification Institutes (PQI) into CPD National Centre for pedagogical staff.Trends (2011-2015). The obvious trends of FLE are successful world economic integration of the Republic, which demands learning language-leaders; increasing popularity of Chinese language and decreasing popularity of some European languages; multi-linguism of young professionals and natural bilinguism of KZ young generations; early FL learning at pre-school and primary school levels; wide use of blended learning forms and IT technologies; active development of additional language education for all ages and abilities; establishment of new type organizations emphasizing advantages of national education system and world research practice. Conclusions and Recommendations. The most important paradigm in foreign language education (1991-2015) is its aiming at intercultural communication, i.e. transformation from learning â€˜language in theoryâ€™ to â€˜language in practiceâ€™. In fact, this ex facte invisible paradigm has led to overall FLE system modernization. Modern trends are to be taken into account for further developing of Kazakhstan foreign language education system.

Dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat suatu kejahatan memang bukan suatu hal yang asing, karena pada dasarnya kejahatan merupakan suatu perbuatan atau tingkah laku yang dianggap jahat dalam masyarakat. Perkembangan zaman dan teknlogi membawa kejahatan menjadi semakin beragam yang dinilai tidak biasa dalam suatu masyarakat. Kondisi perilaku atau kejiwaan seseorang pelaku kejahatan serta semua hal yang berhubungan dengan perbuatan si pelaku kejahatan dan seluruh akibat yang ditimbulkan dari perbuatan tersebut dapat dipelajari dengan menggunakan teori yang disebut Psikologi Kriminal. Tingkah laku atau perbuatan individu yang bersifat kriminal tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan individu lainnya, karena pada dasarnya manusia satu dengan lainnya merupaka suatu jaringan yang sama. Dari zaman dahulu, tindak kejahatan mutilasi ini telah terjadi. Dewasa ini tindak kejahatan mutilasi ini telah menajdi suatu modus operandi kejahatan, dimana mutilasi ini tidak hanya dilakukan didalam suatu kebudayaan yang memiliki unsur-unsur, nilai estetika bahkan niali filosofis saja.Pelaku kejahatan mutilasi ini melakukan kejahatannya dengan tujuan agar para petugas yang bersangkutan terkelabui, selain itu untuk menyamarkan identiats korban dan juga menghilangkan jejak atas perbuatannya dengan cara memotong bagian tubuh korban menjadi beberapa bagaian (kepala, badan, bagian lain) dan kemudian pelau membuangnya secara terpisah. Disamping untuk menghilangkan jejak pelaku kejahatan, modus mutilasi ini juga karena faktor kondisi kejiwaan pelaku dimana tedapat gangguan jiwa terhadap diri pelaku, ole sebab itu melakukan tindakan diluar kemanusiaan. Selain itu juga dapat terjadi karena faktor sosial, faktor ekonomi, faktor asmara atau bahkan keadaan Rumah Tangga pelaku kejahatan mutilasi.

Authors: Morakinyo Barnabas O , Lavender Samantha , Abbott Victor 
Published: January 2023

Detection of potentially gas flaring-related pollution on vegetation cover using remotely sensed data at 11 flaring sites in Rivers State, Nigeria is the emphasis of this research. 21 Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM ), and 4 Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager and Thermal Infrared Sensor (OLI-TIRS) data dated from 21/04/2000 to 05/02/2022 with 3 cloud cover were used. Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) was retrieved from corrected Landsat 7 bands (1-4), and Landsat 8 bands (2-5). Corrected thermal band was used for the computation of Land Surface Temperature (LST). Change in NDVI (δNDVI450-60)m and LST ( δLST60-450m) were computed. NDVI values at 60 m from the stack show that as the year increases, NDVI values around the stack reduces to almost zero. Linear regression analysis was considered for (δ NDVI450-60)mN against ( δNDVI450-60)mE, (δNDVI450-60)mN against (δNDVI450-60)mS, and (δNDVI450-60)mN against (δNDVI450-60)mW. Only (δNDVI450-60)mN against (δNDVI450-60)mW give statistically significant results at 99 % confidence level (p-value 0.0016). (δNDVI450-60)mN,E,S,W against (δLST60-450)mN,E,S,W were considered and results show positive correlation but statistically insignificant. Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that flaring-related pollution can be detected on vegetation cover using Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 data in the Niger Delta.
SHIPPING FUEL PRODUCED FROM SECONDARY POLYMER RAW MATERIALS
Authors: Chernyavsky A. , Grigorov A. 
Published: January 2023

The article considers the possibility of expanding the raw material base of the production of motor fuels, particularly the fuels for shipping due to the use of secondary polymer raw materials. It was established that this raw material, which is represented by various polyolefins, is characterized by the absence or rather low (up to 150–200 ppm) content of sulfur-containing compounds.
Therefore, according to such an indicator as the sulfur content, using thermal or catalytic pyrolysis technologies in a reactor-type apparatus, it is possible to obtain fuels from secondary polymer raw materials, which in terms of sulfur content (0.5 % and 0.1 %, respectively) will correspond to marine gasoil (MGO) or low sulfur marine gasoil (LS-MGO).
It was experimentally established that the products of thermal pyrolysis of secondary polymer raw materials contain up to 30–40 % of olefinic hydrocarbons, which have low chemical stability and increased hygroscopicity compared to paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. Given their properties, such products should only be used as components of marine fuels. The products of catalytic pyrolysis (the process was carried out using the ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst) of secondary polymer raw materials, on the contrary, have high chemical stability due to the low (up to 3 %) content of olefinic hydrocarbons. But, at the same time, they contain up to 15 % aromatic hydrocarbons in their composition, which does not exceed the generally accepted restrictions on their content in motor fuels.
It has been determined that the initial boiling point of the obtained fractions is the main parameter, which can be used to regulate some quality indicators of the products obtained. Its increase significantly reduces hygroscopicity and increases the flash point of the obtained products. However, it is not advisable to significantly increase this indicator, given the decrease in the yield of the target product (increasing the boiling point of the fraction by only 1 °C leads to a decrease in its yield by 0.275–0.325 %).
