This study explores the prevalence and impact of foreign language anxiety (FLA) among Islamic degree students at a tertiary level institution in their English language learning journey. FLA is commonly characterized by uneasiness associated with learning a new or additional language and has been recognized as a psychological barrier in language learning. The study's primary objectives are to identify FLA levels among Islamic degree students and study the correlation between FLA and students' exam grades using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). Employing a quantitative approach, the study administered FLCAS questionnaires to 181 participants, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS. Results revealed that communication apprehension recorded the highest mean (3.43), signifying a high degree of anxiety among the respondents. Conversely, the remaining FLCAS components, namely test anxiety (mean = 3.20), fear of negative evaluation (mean = 3.40), and fear of English class (mean = 3.02), demonstrated an average level of anxiety. Overall, FLA among the Islamic degree students was generally rated at a moderate level (mean = 3.28). Furthermore, the subsequent correlation analysis between FLA and students' exam grades displayed a weak positive relationship (r = 0.184), suggesting that FLA may offer facilitative insights into language learning performance.

Today, the share of using alternative energy sources has become possible thanks to the study of the potential of a particular geographic area. In many countries, solar and wind energy have become a promising source. The study of a solar energy potential in the conditions of Turkmenistan showed that the potential of a solar radiation throughout the entire territory reaches 700-800 W/m2, and this is a great opportunity to use a solar energy. In the work, an experimental and theoretical study of the efficiency of the solar panel water cooling system in the hot climate of Turkmenistan was carried out. Since the climate of Turkmenistan is sharply continental, in summer the ambient temperature exceeds +40 °C. As a result of the research, the authors found that with an increase in the ambient temperature, the surface temperature of the solar panels also increases, which as a result leads to a decrease in its performance by 20-25%. The developed solution made it possible to reduce the surface temperature of solar panels in the hot climatic conditions of Turkmenistan and increase the current at 1200 hours of the day by 25%, at 1300 by 62%, at 1400 by 58% and at 1500 by 33.3%, to increase power by 19%, 42%, 38%, 18%, respectively, while 2.8, 3.3, 3.9, 5.4, 5.4, 4.9, and 3.2 kW of thermal energy were taken.

Data was collected by a cross-sectional survey through the Teacher Institution's Well-being Questionnaire (TIWEQ) constructed by the researchers. The questionnaire had also been tested for the validity and reliability. A total of 857 samples were involved in this study. The findings of the study showed that the level of harmony among IPG campus lecturers in Peninsular Malaysia is at a high level of 53.2 percent (n = 456). Based on the dimensions, it was found that the highest mean value is the self-motivation dimension (M = 3.68, SD = 0.38) while the lowest mean value is the personal health dimension (M = 2.79, SD = 0.59). This finding contributes to the field of knowledge that the importance of balance between external and internal harmony for the sustainability of the education system. In addition, it is also necessary to create a harmony profile for each IPG.

<p>Misconceptions refer to students' incorrect understanding of a concept, which can lead to difficulties in problem-solving activities. This study aimed to examine the misconceptions of high school students regarding gender differences. The research was conducted in a selected high school, using a purposive sampling technique to select a class with above-average academic achievement. The research used a quantitative descriptive method and analyzed the data using GRM scoring. The findings showed that the average percentage of misconceptions held by students in all competency indicators was 28% for females and 22% for males. Misconceptions were found in all four competency indicators for buffer solution materials, including explaining the meaning of components, the working principle of buffer solutions, the role of buffer solutions in everyday life, and calculating the pH of buffer solutions. The highest percentage of misconceptions for both females and males was found in the first competency indicator, with 47% and 56%, respectively.</p>

For second language learners, language proficiency is normally gained through formal instructions in the English as a second language classroom. However, besides the classroom, language can also be learned in a natural setting, for example, through social interactions. This study examines social interaction as an alternative approach to improving English language proficiency. A total of 93 students participated in the study. Sixty of the students were from the school of education, and 38 were from a private university. The participants took an Online English level and vocabulary test as part of data collection of this study. The data analysis was conducted using two multiple regression models in SPSS version 22. The multiple regressions yielded a correlational report between the social circle and English language proficiency among the students. Results demonstrated that the students’ social circle was close (M=60). These variables are not critical when accounting for social and close circles independently in a regression model. Only vocabulary was detected as a significant factor influencing the students’ English proficiency. However, the interaction between the social circle and vocabulary positively contributes to English proficiency. This finding supports the social capital in which learning can be enhanced through social interactions within a social circle. Furthermore, this finding calls for teachers’ and education practitioners’ attention to facilitate vocabulary learning through social interactions.

This study presents the results of research on the ecology of microdispids mites in Turkmenistan. In particular, 8 species of microdispids mites were found in the soil and anthills. The importance of these mites in the decomposition of plant residues and in soil-forming processes is shown. Data on seasonal changes in the abundance and vertical distribution of microdispids mites in irrigated soils are presented. The phoretic relationship of microdispids mites with ants has been proven. Mushrooms adapted to grow in anthills serve as food for microdispids mites. The importance of anthills is indicated as a special place for shelter and a center of mass reproduction of mites, therefore, as a specific biotope in arid conditions.
