Harnessing Machine Learning for Unmasking Deception: An In-Depth Analysis using ML Approaches for Fake News Identification in News Media

In an era, In which misleading data may spread quickly, it is critical to have an efficient fake news detection system. This study explores the field of text-based machine learning models with the goal of separating potentially unreliable news stories from legitimate news articles in daily newspapers. The dataset that was obtained from Kaggle provides the basis for this project. It includes a number of characteristics, such as article headings, authors, textual content, and labels identifying whether an article is "Fake News" or "Real News." A methodical strategy is used that includes data preparation, feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tweaking to provide the best level of accuracy. Text data is tokenized, stemmed, and stop words are eliminated before being converted to numerical features using methods like TF-IDF and word embeddings. To assess model performance, the dataset is intelligently split into training and testing sets. Logistic regression, Naive Bayes, SVM, and sophisticated deep learning models like BERT and GPT are among the machine learning models that are taken into account. To improve accuracy, the project also uses ensemble learning strategies.

Evaluating the validity evidence surrounding use of value-added models to evaluate teachers: A systematic review

Local education agencies (LEAs) continue to use value-added models (VAMs) for teacher evaluation policies and purposes, often with consequences attached. Although the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides more flexibility to LEAs, few have discontinued VAM use, suggesting they interpret VAMs as a valid measure of teacher effectiveness. In this systematic review, we used a framework built on the Standards of Educational and Psychological Testing (AERA et al., 2014) to examine validity evidence contained in 75 articles published in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals in which article authors supported or challenged user interpretations and uses of VAMs. Results with implications for educational policy are presented.

MEANS AND METHODS OF PEDAGOGICAL CONTROL OF A TUTOR AND A SCHOOL TEACHER

One of the ways to improve the quality of education is the differentiated approach in teaching. Data on learning outcomes can be one of the criteria for differentiation. The article analyses the means of pedagogical control used by tutors and school teachers and the level of using the data obtained during this control for the educational process management. The conducted research allowed the article authors to identify functions, methods and purposes that are of priority in pedagogical control. The results obtained in the course of the study can be regarded as premises for further tutors’ experience research, in order to identify pedagogical conditions for the implementation of differentiated learning in individual lessons with senior schoolchildren.

Mentoring in Christian Higher Education: Cross-Cultural Reflections From Australia

This article undertakes to respond to the work of the three preceding authors and to compare and contrast their observations with the Christian cross-cultural setting in Australia. Authors of the previous articles address holistic mentoring at three levels—institutional, organizational, and individual—and offer recommendations for institutional leadership, formal mentoring programs, and pedagogies. In responding to their contributions, we reflect on adaptations and affordances for integrating mentoring and formation in Christian higher education for people from diverse cultural and faith backgrounds. This article also examines the different psychological, spiritual, professional, and other hues that mentoring takes on for different people and stages of career development and individual formation. Thus, we think about mentoring that occurs not only between faculty or between faculty and students but also between experienced and early-career researchers. Whereas mentoring mostly occurs one-on-one, we also consider occasional settings such as a research writing retreat in which multiple peers can inform and inspire one another or in which professors lead early-career researchers in first-time grant applications and co-created publications. Although the multiculturalism and multi-faith and interdisciplinary encounters we discuss may be more prominent in Australia than elsewhere, we believe the knowledge we gained from expanding our cultural horizons and intercultural competencies may be useful to others. This knowledge is likely to be of value as educators in different countries meet situations of interfaith, intercultural, and interdisciplinary dialogue, student cohorts marked by increasing diversity, and many competing voices as secularism is globally on the rise.

Recognition and Tracking of an Underwater Pipeline from Stereo Images during AUV-Based Inspection

The inspection of condition of underwater pipelines (UPs) based on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) requires high accuracy of positioning while the AUV is moving along to the object being examined. Currently, acoustic, magnetometric, and visual means are used to detect and track UPs with AUVs. Compared to other methods, visual navigation can provide higher accuracy for local maneuvering at short distances to the object. According to the authors of the present article, the potential of video information for these purposes is not yet fully utilized, and, therefore, the study focused on the more efficient use of stereo images taken with an AUV’s video camera. For this, a new method has been developed to address inspection challenges, which consists in the highlighting of visible boundaries and the calculation of the UP centerline using algorithms for combined processing of 2D and 3D video data. Three techniques for initial recognition of the direction of UP upon its detection were analyzed: on the basis of a stereo-pair of images using point features of the surface; using tangent planes to the UP in one of the stereo-pair; and using the UP median planes in both images of the stereo-pair. Approaches for determining the parameters of the relative positions of the AUV and the UP during the subsequent tracking are also considered. The technology proposed can be of practical use in the development of navigation systems to be applied for UP inspection without deploying additional expensive equipment, either separately or in combination with measurements from other sensors.

“My Dear Marylka!” Unknown Ante-mortem Letters of Konstantin Kalinovsky – the Leader of 1863 Polish Uprising in Lithuania and Belarus

In the article we fi nd previously unknown documents found by the article author in the archives of Russia and Lithuania, namely the letters of Konstantin Kalinovsky – the leader of the 1863 uprising in Lithuania and Belarus, - which he wrote while held in prison. The comparison of Kalinovsly’s letters written in prison with the materials of the archive investigatory documents pertaining to his case allows one to see the extraordinary image of the revolutionary, - a Catholic believer, Lithuanian identity bearer (gentis Lithuanus, natione Polonus), a person of Polish culture and language, who was sincerely attached to historic Lithuania and saw its future within Poland.

Bone cement as alocal antibiotic carrier

There is widespread consensus that adjuvant local use of antimicrobial agents in combination with their systemic administration can better prevent and treat implant-associated musculoskeletal infections. The advantage of local antibiotics lies in their particular pharmacokinetics with initially high antibiotic concentrations at the implant site with only low systemic uptake. The aim of local application is to protect the foreign bodies directly at the implantation site from bacterial colonization and biofilm formation (prophylaxis) and to support the eradication of an already established infection after surgical debridement (treatment). Since the observations of Prof. Buchholz, bone cement has been the most frequently used local carrier system. In cases of infection, surgeons should ideally work together with microbiologists, infectiologists or clinical pharmacists to determine which anti-infective agents are indicated systemically for the patient and which ones are indicated locally with PMMA cement, based on the pathogen(s) and antibiograms. However, for the anti-infective agents administered with bone cement, there is still uncertainty about which agents can be added to this carrier material and at what concentrations. Accordingly, the authors of this review article not only summarize the rationale and evidence for local antibiotic use but also elaborate on the points that must be considered for admixing these agents to the cement.

The micro-dynamics of scientific choice: research project motivations among public affairs academics

Abstract Academic researchers’ choices about research projects to pursue are an important mechanism in societal allocation of research effort. It is unclear whether researchers’ criteria for project choice align with those articulated by policy scholars and philosophers. Many potential criteria for project choice are commonly discussed in scholarly and popular literature, but they have been little studied on the individual level. I review and catalog such potential criteria and then empirically explore researcher motivations for project choice through factor analysis of survey data from 409 authors of research articles in major public administration and public policy journals. I find empirical support for personal gain, societal importance, and intellectual interest as research motivations. These motivations do not neatly align with proposed ideal criteria for scientific choice. Thus, such criteria must be translated to speak to researchers’ personal interests to achieve expression in individual scientific choice.

THE CONTRIBUTION MADE BY MYKOLA YARMACHENKO INSTITUTE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY OF THE NAES OF UKRAINE TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF SPECIAL PSYCHOLOGY

The article examines and analyses the contribution made by Mykola Yarmachenko Institute of Special Education and Psychology of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine to development of the theory and practice of special psychology.
 The article highlights that Ukrainian special psychology faces the tasks to reflect methodologically and understand special psychology historical path and current status.
 Special psychology was an integral part of defectology, was an applied branch of knowledge by its nature and was formed as a multi-disciplinary discipline.
 After Ukraine had achieved independence, the issues regarding the theoretical and conceptual base of special psychology became really important, since the various areas of special psychology remained significantly detached from conducted applied research.
 The article authors reviewed modern Ukrainian educational and methodological literature for higher education and revealed that the publications were mainly writhing the framework of classical psychology and defectology and based on the natural-scientific paradigm.
 We also found that in recent years, psychological science had significant achievements in the field of special psychology due to the ever-increasing influence of the humanistic paradigm on the subject and methodology of psychological research.
 The article describes the achievements of Mykola Yarmachenko Institute of Special Education and Psychology in the field of special psychology, its role and influence on special psychology development, its contribution to theory and practice.

International Journal of Neuroscience-Based Learning in Schools: A Bibliometric Analysis

Neuroscience-based learning is an approach to learning that is based on knowledge of how the human nervous system functions and processes information. This approach utilizes neuroscience principles to understand how the learning process occurs in the brain and applies that knowledge to help students learn more effectively. This research aims to determine the publication of neuroscience-based learning in schools published in international journals. This research method utilizes a bibliometric approach to analyze international journals retrieved from Scopus. The obtained data is described with several topics that provide the necessary information. The research findings reveal that the publication of articles on neuroscience-based learning in schools is still concentrated in the United States and Europe. The utilization of information from neuroscience-based learning articles is also prominent in the United States and Europe. The authors of neuroscience-based learning articles in schools are predominantly from America and Europe, with fewer authors from Asia, Australia, and Africa publishing articles on neuroscience-based learning. From the research findings, it can be concluded that the publication of neuroscience-based learning articles is still unevenly distributed worldwide. This can be seen as an indication that neuroscience-based learning is not widely utilized globally.

What Do They Say? Authors of Articles in Predatory Journalism and Mass Communication Journals Speak

Journalism and mass communication (J&MC) research examines crucial issues in democratic and undemocratic societies, such as freedom of expression, misinformation and disinformation, government regulation of communications, defamation and invasion of privacy, media technologies and economics, and journalists’ professional practices. Unethical scholarship practices may weaken societal and public policy goals of fair, independent, and accurate reporting and transparent governance. This case study analyses how one predatory J&MC journal recruits authors to submit their work and why some scholars succumb to such invitations. This research contributes to both the growing scholarship about predatory publishing practices and to further understanding of how such journals deceptively exploit authors willing to pay for publication without the traditional peer review and editing. This study uses probability sampling of authors who published 504 articles in the journal between 2011 and 2021 to seek their participation in a survey and interviews. Most authors are from developing countries, but others are from the developed world, including faculty at top-tier research institutions. Surprisingly, some published in this journal despite knowing its predatory nature. In such instances, they might benefit from a lack of policies at their universities discouraging publication in predatory journals and may receive benefits from those institutions. Some authors regretted publishing in the journal, especially if they were unaware of its predatory character, because it deprived them of an opportunity to disseminate that research in legitimate academic venues. There are significant societal and political implications as well.

That is, when assessing the king's justice, his attitude of caring for the disabled and vulnerable is taken into account first and foremost.

Debate on Informal Interpersonal Networks: Guanxi vs. Wasta

MOR's D3 section seeks to stimulate dialogue, debate, and discussion among scholars. When I took over as editor of D3, MOR's editorial team brainstormed how to further develop the D3 feature. We agreed that in addition to seeking original articles, we also wanted to encourage debate on articles that have already appeared in MOR. In this issue, we publish a commentary on Shaalan, Eid, and Tourky's (2022) article ‘De-Linking from Western Epistemologies: Using Guanxi-Type Relationships to Attract and Retain Hotel Guests in the Middle East’. The commentary, entitled ‘Questioning the Appropriateness of Examining Guanxi in a Wasta Environment: Why Context Should Be Front and Center in Informal Network Research’, has been written by Horak, Abosag, Hutchings, Alsarhan, Ali, Al-Twal, Weir, ALHussan, and AL-Husan (2023). As their title suggests, the commentators take issue with transferring the concept of guanxi into an environment in which another idea about informal interpersonal networks, wasta, already exists. I sense that the desire to write a critical comment was fueled by the fact that Shaalan et al. (2022) never referred to the concept of ‘wasta’ in their original article. We invited the authors of the original article to write a rejoinder (Shaalan, Eid, & Tourky, 2023) in which they emphasize even further that they only argue that guanxi-type relationships exist in the Middle East and not that guanxi itself exists.

Ziemie Zabrane w angielskojęzycznej prasie związanej ze stronnictwem księcia Adama Jerzego Czartoryskiego w początkach emigracji

“The Taken Lands” in English-language press related to the political camp of prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski at the begining of exile The article is based on three English-language press titles published in the early 1830s in Great Britain by Polish emigrants and British supporters of the Polish case related to the political camp of Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski. These are: “The Hull Polish Record,” “The Polish Exile,” and “Polonia or Monthly Reports of Polish Affairs”. The main aim of the article is to recreate the image of the so-called “Ziemie Zabrane” (The Taken Lands) – i.e. the former Polish provinces incorporated directly into the Russian Empire after 1795. These were the lands of today’s Lithuania, part of Latvia, all of Belarus and the right-bank of Ukraine. The authors of the several articles devoted to this issue presented – in their writings – the history of these lands from the Middle Ages, their fate during the partitions until the November Uprising, the course of which in Lithuania and Ukraine was described in more detail. There were also reports of repressions that fell upon the inhabitants of these lands after the defeat of the uprising. On the pages of the surveyed press one can also find reports on the state of the economy of these lands, trade and water routes; biographies of famous people born in these areas and many descriptions of their tourist and sightseeing values. In each of these cases, the authors of the texts tried to emphasize the ties between these lands and their inhabitants with the rest of the Polish territory and convince the potential readers that they constitute its integral part, which should be included in it in the event of the reconstruction of the independent Polish state.

Job crafting and sustainable work performance: A systematic literature review

Research background: Job crafting based on individual initiative represents a new form of work design, supporting stability in increasing work performance. In many cases, this method proves to be an effective way of increasing employees' work engagement, mainly because of the mediated autonomy in their work performance and the greater meaningfulness that results from it. The basis of job crafting is employee support, which initiates working behavior focused on proactivity in creating and adapting work to the subjective requirements of the employee's individuality. The available literature highlights various approaches that mediate individual topics, with which companies try to stimulate employee behavior, the expected result of which is job crafting, which leads to an increase in work performance. Purpose of the article: The goal of the study is to identify current research directions in the field of job crafting, specifically in relation to increasing work performance. Methods: The Web of Science database was used to identify the main directions of research in the relevant literature. Research was directed at peer-reviewed articles published in journals indexed in SSCI as Q1 and Q2. The resulting number of articles was identified based on the PRISMA selection method. Findings & value added: By analyzing the literary sources, we have identified 4 important research topics that the authors of the scientific articles addressed. The most widespread topic was work engagement and its influence on job crafting. In the second topic, the authors addressed the issue of how job crafting supports the meaningfulness of work. The third research topic that the authors addressed was job crafting as a factor of employee autonomy. The fourth theme identified was the influence of leadership and management support on job-crafting behavior. The paper offers the reader a systematic and clear list of available quality resources that can help them in their personal research related to job crafting and work performance. In addition, the results of our research may be useful for companies trying to improve the work performance of their employees.

Применение теории катастроф для математического моделирования оползневого процесса на вогнутых склонах горных территорий

Introduction. Analysis of existing theoretical and experimental studies has shown that the model approach is the main method of landslide research. The existing mathematical model of landslides does not meet the requirements of the necessary adequacy. Materials and methods. This study uses a mathematical modeling methodology based on catastrophe theory. Results and discussion. To solve this actual problem, in this article authors developed a mathematical model of the landslide process on the concave slopes of mountainous territories. The developed model contains two components. The first of them is a mathematical model of the stress field in the volume of rocks located inside the slope section. This model uses the framework of fractal and multifractal modeling methods developed by the authors. The results of this model research are final expressions for calculating the stress field used rock pressure and bending stress as the external stress field. The superposition of the field induced by these external stresses gives the stress field in the volume of rocks located inside the slope section. Analysis of program implementation of this model showed that there are two areas in the slope section: compressive and tensile stresses adjacent to each other. At the boundary between these areas, there is a discontinuity of the stress field. A displacement surface passes along this boundary, forming a potentially landslide body. Moreover, it was found that a potentially landslide body on a slope is in a state of local and global instabilities. A potentially landslide body tends to occupy the position of the minimum potential energy. Local instability is expressed as the tendency of movement to a stable equilibrium without changing its location in the rock mass. The tendency of landslide body to move down the slope is a demonstration of global instability. The second mathematical model describes the realization of local instability that leads to the formation of a landslide body. Conclusion. According to the model analysis, it was found that the implementation of instability leads to the formation of a landslide body. At the same time, according to this analysis a landslide body can take up three stable equilibrium positions, allowing it to stay on the slope without global instability. Suggestions for practical application and direction of future research. The research results can be used to predict landslides on concave slopes of mountainous territories and to develop new mathematical models allowing to make the analysis of concave slopes of mountainous territories taking into account fracturing.

Parents Catechesis: for Children, Family or for Adults?

The Author of article provides an important information about parent catechesis from Catholic perspective. He reminds the basis of parent catechesis, beginning with the historical importance and explanations contained in the Church Documents: “Parents are the primary educators in the faith. Together with them, especially in certain cultures, all members of the family play an active part in the education of the younger members’ (General Directory for Catechesis255). If parents are the most important persons of the education of children in the faith, they need to be well prepared for fulfilling their mission that includes especially treating catechesis as lifelong process, the learning of Christian doctrine andmethods of family catechesis, permanent formation of mothers and fathers into the fullness of Christian life. The conclusion presents main challenges and advocates an intensification of catechetical activity in our times.

Example-based dynamic façade design using the facade daylighting performance improvement (FDPI) indicator

It remains challenging to conduct an efficient dynamic façade design. In this article authors try to address this issue introducing the façade daylighting performance improvement (FDPI) indicator aimed to evaluate the performance of a dynamic (adaptive) façade from its daylighting performance point of view. To illustrate the FDPI application the authors introduced the preliminary dynamic façade concept for an office building located in Tel Aviv (Hot-summer Mediterranean Climate Csa) with further shape modification based on the daylighting performance analysis compared to the three alternatives representative of different typologies of dynamic facades. Al Bahr, One Ocean and The University of Southern Denmark façade systems were simulated under the same weather and building conditions of the preliminary dynamic façade concept and were considered as a benchmark for the study. The final dynamic façade concept elaborated by the authors in the preliminary comparative workflow showed noticeable daylight performance improvement with respect to the case studies comparative scenarios. The FDPI metric allowed to estimate a daylighting performance improvement of 43% of the final dynamic façade concept over the case study dynamic façade that showed the best performance in the daylighting simulations.
