Developing and Testing Tools for Measuring the Emotional Dimension of Volunteering

Volunteering is an essential part of society. It is considered to be a complex phenomenon which is potentially associated with emotional dilemmas. Emotions of volunteers are crucial for their activity. However, their scientific investigation is lacking, especially when it comes to the methodological aspect. This article presents the results of the methodological development of quantitative indicators of the emotional dimension of volunteering. Using the example of an online survey of 274 social, environmental, event, sports, animal welfare and public safety volunteers, the obtained indicators are tested by searching for a connection with the factors of volunteers’ emotions. As part of our methodology, we have developed new emotional indicators of volunteer activity. Based on the results of the study, we proposed such indicators as valence index, emotional burnout, emotional nature and emotional intelligence. The valence index considers two types (two valences) of volunteers’ emotions — positive and negative. Emotional burnout is expressed as a factor analysis model — the causes of burnout. Emotional intelligence is presented as a summary indicator of emotional processes — for instance, exchange, control, etc. The nature of emotions is represented by interval semantic differentials when building a cluster analysis model. By testing the obtained methods, it turns out that formal and informal volunteers have equally high emotional intelligence and are equally susceptible to burnout. The lowest values of the valence index are found among event volunteers, the highest — among public safety volunteers. With age, the chances of burning out decrease with the presence of constant joy and fun, increase due to excessive pity, and decrease due to compassion fatigue. Compared to men, women are more prone to experiencing emotions: both positive and negative, that is, they have a higher valence index and emotional intelligence.

How to transform brand haters into forgivers through emotional intelligence?

PurposeConsumers' responses to service failures are influenced not just by company-related issues but also by one's ability to react to stressful situations. The aim of this research is to explore the emotional intelligence of brand haters and transform them into forgivers.Design/methodology/approachThis study used two qualitative methods, namely in-depth semi-structured interviews with a total of 17 participants who have different emotional intelligence levels (high, medium and low) and projective techniques with 6 participants.FindingsThis study's results showed that consumers with high and medium emotional intelligence feel less hate toward a brand and are more likely to forgive it, whereas consumers with low emotional intelligence feel more hate toward a brand and are unwilling to forgive it.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is among the first to shed light on the importance of managing hate by consumers. Findings will help managers understand the importance of consumer personality in a management strategy and explain why some consumers forgive brands while others participate in anti-brand activities.

Value determination of personal self-fulfillment of gifted youth students at a teaching university

The study of the problem of personal self-realization of gifted youth is recognized as one of the priority directions in the conditions of European integration of higher education, as is proven in the article. Supporting gifted students becomes an important task for society. The value determination of the process of personal self-realization of gifted students is recognized as a priority way of solving this problem in the article. It is noted that this problem acquires special significance when it comes to the future teacher, who must acquire the appropriate skills for raising gifted children during the period of study in institutions of higher education. The concept of «giftedness» will be interpreted in the article as favorable prerequisites for the development, personal attitude, and orientation of a developing young person. At the same time, it is also an individual peculiarity of a person's abilities, thanks to which he achieves success in the chosen field of activity. The article also presents other interpretations of giftedness: as general abilities that determine a person's capabilities for certain activities; as a system of endowments, which are natural prerequisites for abilities; as individual characteristics of cognitive abilities; as the appropriate level of development of abilities that allow the individual to achieve success in various fields of activity; as a peculiar system of abilities in a person, the unity that they form and, in sum, contribute to high achievements. The authors single out the following types of giftedness: artistic giftedness in the fields of art, authorship, music, literature, and sculpture; leadership talent (high intelligence; ability to make decisions and plan for the future; flexibility; sense of responsibility; persistence and enthusiasm; self-confidence; ability to express oneself clearly); creative talent; and academic and intellectual giftedness (observation; sharp thinking; special memory; problem-solving abilities).

Influence of Test Room Acoustics on Non-Native Listeners’ Standardized Test Performance

Understanding the impact of room acoustics on non-native listeners is crucial, particularly in standardized English as a foreign language (EFL) proficiency testing environments. This study aims to elucidate how acoustics influence test scores, considering variables overlooked in prior research such as seat position and baseline language proficiency. In this experiment, 42 Japanese university students’ performance on standardized EFL listening tests was assessed in two rooms with distinct acoustic qualities, as determined by the speech transmission index (STI) and reverberation time (RT). The rooms differed significantly in their STI values and RT measurements, with one exhibiting high speech intelligibility qualities of ≥0.66 STI and RT0.5–2kHz < 0.7 s and the other falling below these benchmarks. The findings revealed that listening test scores were consistently higher in the acoustically favorable room across all participants. Notably, the negative effect of poor acoustics was more pronounced for students with lower baseline language proficiency. No significant score differences were observed between front- and rear-seat positions, suggesting that overall room acoustics may be more influential than individual seating locations. The study concludes that acoustics play a significant role in the standardized EFL test performance, particularly for lower-proficiency learners. This highlights the necessity of standardized testing environments to be more carefully selected in order to ensure the fair and reliable assessment of language proficiency.

A novel DT-based intelligent experiment method for complex industrial products

To alleviate the contradiction between multi-disciplinary coupling, high intelligence, and the difficulty in conducting direct experiments for product testing in the industrial field, a new method of intelligent experiment is proposed based on the digital twin. This method exhibits typical characteristics such as the joint integration of knowledge and data and the fusion of virtual and physical elements. The intelligent experiment technology framework suitable for complex industrial product experiment is established through a four-step intelligent experiment transformation method in the industrial field. These steps include a laboratory prototype experiment, a virtual simulation experiment, a hardware-in-the-loop experiment, and a virtual-physical fusion experiment. Aiming to address three typical engineering problems related to position and posture, posture and performance coupling, and micro force testing, three knowledge and data joint driving methods based on Virtual Reality (VR) multidisciplinary fusion calculations are proposed. A multi-agent operation scene is created, which maintains shape, space–time, physical behavior, performance, and macro–micro consistencies. Design and monitoring experiments are completed to achieve the co-evolution and closed-loop feedback between the physical and virtual dimensions. Taking the hydraulic support used in coal mines as an example, a high confidence agent model is established based on the single-machine hydraulic support posture monitoring and loading test bench. Through a virtual and physical cooperative operation mode involving multi-agents and physical models, six types of experiments are designed, including pose, force, and monitoring. Relevant experimental research shows that the requirements of industrial experiments can be met under laboratory conditions. This experiment framework can provide reliable experimental support for the optimization and intelligent monitoring of complex industrial products.

Children of time: the geological recency of intelligence and its implications for SETI

Abstract Of all species on Earth, only one – Homo sapiens – has developed a technological civilization. As a consequence, estimates of the number of similar civilizations beyond Earth often treat the emergence of human-like intelligence or ‘sophonce’ as an evolutionary unicum: a contingent event unlikely to repeat itself even in biospheres harbouring complex brains, tool use, socially transmitted behaviours and high general intelligence. Here, attention is drawn to the unexpected recency and temporal clustering of these evolutionary preconditions to sophonce, which are shown to be confined to the last ≤102 million years. I argue that this pattern can be explained by the exponential biotic diversification dynamics suggested by the fossil record, which translated into a nonlinearly expanding range of cognitive and behavioural outcomes over the course of Earth's history. As a result, the probability of sophonce arising out of a buildup of its enabling preconditions has been escalating throughout the Phanerozoic. The implications for the Silurian hypothesis and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) are discussed. I conclude that the transition from animal-grade multicellularity to sophonce is likely not a rate-limiting step in the evolution of extraterrestrial technological intelligences, and that while H. sapiens is probably the first sophont to evolve on Earth, on macroevolutionary grounds it is unlikely to be the last.

Psychological features of emotional disorders in military personnel after mine-explosion injury during their medical-psychological rehabilitation

Research in the field of psychology of emotional disorders in military personnel with mine-explosion injuries intersects various disciplines such as psychology, medicine, military science, sociology, rehabilitation, etc. Unfortunately, there is currently no unified system, technology, and methodology for comprehensive medical-psychological rehabilitation of combatants, as preference is given to individual types – social, psychological, medical, physical, pedagogical, and the rehabilitation measures themselves have a fragmented nature. Therefore, the question arises about the justification of the effectiveness and measures of medical-psychological rehabilitation for military personnel who have participated in combat operations. The study involved 99 individuals – male military personnel aged 18 to 61 years, undergoing treatment and recovery in a medical institution.
 For the statistical analysis of the research results, factor, cluster analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted.
 Based on the research results, three clusters were identified, differing in the average level of intelligence and characteristic diagnoses. It was found that individuals with higher intelligence more often experience adaptation disorders (33%), those with average intelligence – PTSD (27%), and those with low intelligence – organic emotional disorders (66%).
 The strongest correlation between verbal intelligence and the following personality profile scales was found: schizoid (-0.445, p≤0.01), psychasthenia (-0.436, p≤0.01), paranoia (-0.379, p≤0.01), depression (-0.371, p≤0.01), hysteria (-0.350, p≤0.01), psychopathy (-0.322, p≤0.01), hypomania (-0.251*), and hypochondria (-0.200, p≤0.05).
 The research results allow for the development of specific recommendations regarding psychological support and medical-psychological rehabilitation for military personnel who have experienced Mine-Explosion Trauma (MET). The obtained data can be utilized to enhance psychological training programs for military personnel in the event of possible traumatic situations, helping them better cope with emotional difficulties.

Mathematical logical intelligence of students with high mathematical communication skills in system of linear equations in three variable

Mathematical logical intelligence greatly influences students' ability to solve mathematical problems, especially the ability to analyze logically in solving mathematical problems. This logical-mathematical intelligence is also closely related and has a positive impact on students' mathematical communication skills, both oral and written mathematical communication abilities. Based on the age development, MA students should be able to use logical thinking skills well. Through material students are tested and required to understand questions in the form of story questions to be able to solve the problem by first forming a mathematical model and then developing a plan to solve the problem. Thus, students indirectly get a stimulus to hone their reasoning and communication skills well. This study aims to analyze the mathematical logical intelligence of MA students with high mathematical communication skills on System of Linear Equations in Three Variable at MA Al-Islamiyah I Sumber Batu, Blumbungan, Larangan, Pamekasan. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. The research instruments used were test questions and interview guidelines. The results showed that students who have high mathematical logical intelligence also have good competence for oral and written communication and are able to classify, compare, perform calculations correctly, reason deductively, make conclusions and check back according to the indicators in mathematical logical intelligence.

The results showed that the subject of high intrapersonal intelligence in solving mathematical problems could meet the indicators of HOTS ability, namely the ability to analyze in the sorting category of cognitive processes, organizing, and attributing and the ability to evaluate in checking categories. In contrast, the subject of medium and low intrapersonal intelligence can only meet the indicator of ability to analyze in the sorting categories of the cognitive process.

A Deep Neural Network-Based Optimal Scheduling Decision-Making Method for Microgrids

With the rapid growth in the proportion of renewable energy access and the structural complexity of distributed energy systems, traditional microgrid (MG) scheduling methods that rely on mathematical optimization models and expert experience are facing significant challenges. Therefore, it is essential to present a novel scheduling technique with high intelligence and fast decision-making capacity to realize MGs’ automatic operation and regulation. This paper proposes an optimal scheduling decision-making method for MGs based on deep neural networks (DNN). Firstly, a typical mathematical scheduling model used for MG operation is introduced, and the limitations of current methods are analyzed. Then, a two-stage optimal scheduling framework comprising day-ahead and intra-day stages is presented. The day-ahead part is solved by mixed integer linear programming (MILP), and the intra-day part uses a convolutional neural network (CNN)—bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi LSTM) for high-speed rolling decision making, with the outputs adjusted by a power correction balance algorithm. Finally, the validity of the model and algorithm of this paper are verified by arithmetic case analysis.

Understanding spelling conflicts in Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Serbian: Insights from speakers’ attitudes and beliefs

This article analyzes spelling-change conflicts linked to Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Serbian. These standard languages share a long history of common sociopolitical identity and high mutual intelligibility, and the spelling standardization processes became embroiled in the Yugoslav disintegration process and the creation of new political entities. This study presents results from a 2022 survey of 2000 participants in four countries (matched to country census quotas on five demographic criteria), and is thus one of the largest data sets of speakers’ attitudes and beliefs about language identity and its sociopolitical context. I argue that analyzing spelling-change conflicts can uncover the motives for spelling changes and the causes of such conflicts. I propose, based on this analysis, three principles for predicting (inter)national spelling-change conflicts. These principles offer a novel contribution to the state of the art in comparative standardology and sociological studies of conflicts.

What marketers of after-school educational services and educators can learn from children’s perceptions of intelligence

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the marketing opportunities for after-school educational services in the Chinese context by examining children’s perceptions of intelligence using visual methodology.Design/methodology/approachAltogether 30 Chinese children aged 9–12 studying in grades four to six were asked to draw what comes to mind for two statements: “This is an intelligent child” and “This is a child of average intelligence.” After doing the drawings, the children were interviewed face-to-face to answer questions about the personalities and social relationships of the children depicted in the two drawings that they had produced.FindingsA child described as intelligent was imagined wearing glasses, studying hard and obtaining excellent academic results. A child described as of average intelligence was imagined as having many friends, playing a lot and experiencing tension with parents over studies. Participants had a restrictive view of intelligence and associated intelligence with academic success. They endorsed both a growth mindset and a fixed mindset of intelligence. On the one hand, they endorsed a growth mindset of intelligence as they associated intelligence with personal efforts and practices. On the other hand, participants endorsed a fixed mindset of intelligence as they tended to avoid challenges and appeared to be threatened by the success of others. Participants imagined that an intelligent child would experience poor relationships with friends.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings were based on a nonprobability small sample. The study did not investigate the socialization process of such perceptions.Practical implicationsEducational services and nonschool activity service providers can position themselves as agents to help students develop meta-analytical skills in embracing challenging tasks. Marketers can develop courses and learning materials that teach children different learning strategies. They can use incentives to encourage persistence and resilience in meeting challenges. This study uncovered the emotional and social needs of intelligent children. A new market segment was identified that targets children with high intelligence. Educational service providers can design curricula and activities to support high-performing children in developing empathy and good communication skills. Educators can assist those who perform well academically to nurture genuine friendships and improve social relations with peers.Social implicationsThe prevalence of the private tutoring industry in the Chinese context may introduce educational disparity, as families with low resources will not be able to afford these services. Nonprofit organizations can provide similar educational services at a low cost to bridge the gap. The narrow view of intelligence expressed by participants, and their lack of awareness of the wide range of types of intelligence, indicates that education service providers can develop the confidence of a child with average intelligence through appreciation of his or her unique talents beyond academic achievements.Originality/valueThis study explores attributes associated with intelligence among Chinese children using an innovative visual method. The marketing implications can apply to other societies where the after-school tuition market is prevalent.

Advances in magnetic nano-wave absorbing materials

Magnetic materials are materials with specific magnetic properties, produced mainly by chemical methods such as co-saturation and high temperature pyrolysis, and with controllable product morphology and size. Magnetic particles have a high surface activity and a tendency to agglomerate, which can not only improve their dispersion and biocompatibility, but also achieve specific functions through surface modification in the actual research process. The research and application of wave-absorbing materials will have a major impact on the development of civilian electromagnetic radiation shields. Absorbents with good wave-absorbing properties are at the core of wave absorbing materials, and to meet the requirements of their thin, light, wide and strong properties, absorber research has also advanced towards high efficiency, composites, compatibility and intelligence. By summarising and analysing existing research, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the research achievements and applications of magnetic wave absorbing materials in the medical and military fields to further explore the application potential, current challenges and future developments of such materials in various fields.
