International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology

This paper explores decentralized finance (DeFi), a fast-growing area powered by blockchain technology that offers a new alternative to traditional financial systems. DeFi removes the need for intermediaries like banks, making transactions more transparent, accessible, and often cheaper. This shift not only reduces costs but also helps improve financial access, particularly for people who are underserved by traditional banking systems. Key elements of DeFi, such as smart contracts and oracles, play a central role in automating processes and enabling peer-to-peer exchanges without needing middlemen. Despite its advantages, DeFi faces several challenges. Smart contracts can have security vulnerabilities, oracles may not always provide accurate data, and there is little consumer protection in place, which raises risks for users. Furthermore, DeFi’s decentralized and often anonymous structure creates regulatory difficulties, especially when it comes to complying with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards, which are crucial for ensuring financial safety and preventing illegal activities. This paper examines these issues and proposes potential solutions, such as decentralized oracle networks, regulatory tools embedded within DeFi platforms, and improved scalability techniques. These solutions aim to enhance DeFi’s security while maintaining its core decentralized benefits. The paper concludes by discussing the future of DeFi, stressing the importance of balanced regulations that protect users without stifling innovation. Ultimately, DeFi holds the potential to reshape global finance, making it more inclusive, efficient, and accessible.

Boolean algebra is a branch of mathematics that has many applications, especially in computer science, engineering, and information technology. Boolean algebra is one of the materials taught in discrete mathematics courses. However, students still feel that this material is quite difficult. Therefore, the solution to this problem is to analyze/describe the difficulties students feel. This research aims to describe students' mistakes in solving Boolean algebra problems based on Castolan theory. This study uses a qualitative method. The research subjects were 43 Informatics Engineering students at the Telkom Institute of Technology Purwokerto 2022/2023. The data collection technique uses a Boolean algebra ability test. Data were analyzed based on the Castolan error procedure. The results of this research showed that the percentage of conceptual errors was 33%, the percentage of procedural errors was 23%, and the percentage of technical errors was 44%. Several factors that cause students to make mistakes when solving problems include: 1) Students' lack of understanding of the problems they face, so they become confused when trying to solve them; 2) Lack of accuracy in the calculation process, which causes errors in their answers; 3) Students' inability to convert problems into mathematical models; 4) Lack of student knowledge about the stages needed to solve problems. Lecturers can utilize the results of this research to develop more effective teaching strategies and support students in overcoming difficulties they may encounter.

DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF HUMANITIES IN DEVELOPING TRANSFORMATIVE COMPETENCIES AMONG COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UNDERGRADUATES

In the recent decades harnessing the advanced information technologies and their tremendous potential to improve the quality of life for people all over the world is becoming an urgent need than a luxury. Knowing full well that as an innovative student-centred learning paradigm Education 4.0 creates favourable prerequisites for developing valuable professional skills, abilities and knowledge among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates, the researchers assumed that it also might be effective in preparing them for challenges of the contemporary world through developing their transformative competencies while studying the humanities. The paper aims to reveal the didactic potential of humanities for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ transformative competencies. The researchers carried out an exploratory study in five Ukrainian universities using an online survey conceived and developed by a team of researchers. A total of 275 respondents selected by means of a purposeful sampling method took part in the survey. The study found that humanities (1) are more likely to apply various learning activities which can be done both individually and in groups than technical disciplines and (2) have much broader potential for developing all key constructs of transformative competencies among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates than technical disciplines. The results enabled the researchers to formulate recommendations for university teachers of humanities on how to develop transformative competences among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates. The combination of challenge-based learning (CBL) and activity-based learning (ABL) is being considered as a major methodological approach of Education 4.0 for developing transformative competences among Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates. Scientific novelty of research consists in revealing and describing the didactic potential of humanities for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ transformative competencies.

GLOBAL COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT AMONG COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UNDERGRADUATES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSROOM

Nowadays higher education institutions are directly involved in the training of new personnel, so they should seriously puzzle one of the most obvious questions today, how to prepare students to meet the challenges of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in an increasingly globalised society. And although the unequivocal answer to this question doesn’t exist, one thing is certain: while providing Education 4.0 through incorporating advanced technology into the curriculum for implementing best practices and innovative methodological approaches, methods and techniques, higher education institutions should do their best to shape the next generation of highly employable global citizens who can think and act from a global perspective. In the future students who specialise in the field of Computer Engineering and Information Technology will be at the forefront of advancing the technology available to all people in the world and, therefore, they should be globally competent. It means that they should possess a global competence to successfully compete on a global scale. Significant practical experience gained by the authors of the article made it possible to assume that being one of the humanities which is taught to Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates in Ukrainian higher education institutions, English has a great potential for developing their global competence. Considering the fact that Ukrainian 15-year-old students were not a part of the PISA 2018 Global Competence assessment, the present research was aimed at finding out how the participants understood the concept of “global competence”, their awareness of the importance of global competence development in accordance with the requirements and principles of Education 4.0 associated with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and participants’ views on the role of the English language in its development. For exactly this purpose the authors made a questionnaire in Google Forms. The research participants were 249 Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates who were selected by means of a purposeful sampling method. The conducted research shows that the didactic uniqueness of the English language as an academic discipline aimed at developing global competence is manifested in the fact that it can be seen as both a learning goal and a learning tool. The results obtained became the basis for devising a paradigm defining strategy (the core strategy) and four sub-strategies effective for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ global competence in the English language classroom.

DEVELOPING COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UNDERGRADUATES’ LEARNER AUTONOMY: INDIVIDUALISED INSTRUCTION IN ENGLISH CLASSROOM

The rapid development of information science and technology encourages lifelong learning and requires university graduates to be able to learn throughout their lives and have special abilities which help them search for continuous education and training opportunities. For students who associate their professional lives with computer sciences, learner autonomy is of immense importance since it helps them take full responsibility for success in professional life and career and contributes to the sustainable development of the current fast-moving digital society. As autonomous learners Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates are able to define their goals clearly, to identify the most optimal learning strategies for achieving these goals and for acquiring new knowledge and skills necessary for their further professional development. The present study is aimed at finding out Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ viewpoints on effectiveness of individualised instruction for developing their learner autonomy in English classroom. With this in mind, the team of researchers applied a questionnaire to a sample of Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates who study at three higher education institutions of Ukraine. Data collection lasted for three months and took place in September-December 2022. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that individualised instruction delivered through online teaching tools and apps in English classroom enables university teachers to develop Computer Engineering and Information Technology Undergraduates’ learner autonomy effectively.

After that, the effect of distance on data transformation for laboratory equipment is explained. Finally, it was observed that a vital way for resources management is controlling the way for data transformation.

Simplifying the Opaqueness and Dilemma of the Computing Disciplines for the Common Person in Society

The computing fields have grown increasingly influential in modern times, yet their complexities and technical terms can prove problematic for the public to comprehend. This paper proposes to bridge this gap, introducing readers to the five major computing disciplines as per the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), 2016: computer science, Information System, software engineering, computer engineering, and information technology. An additional more recent discipline which does not fall under the 5 ACM disciplines, Information Communication Technology was also introduced. The paper first examines the evolution of the Computing disciplines from the 1960s. Then the paper briefly discusses each discipline and how the disciplines overlap with each other through using secondary data materials. A section on the new and emerging computing technologies outlines the recognition status by the society. The interdisciplinary nature of the computing disciplines necessitated the need to simplify it. Thus, a table was done which summarized various works of various researchers who had researched on the computing disciplines.

Digital Production and Biotechnology as a New Techno-Economic Paradigm

Digital technologies continue to actively penetrate into all spheres of human activity.
