Exploring How Three Psychological Factors: Attitude, Interest and Readiness has Affected Students’ Performance in Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Examination in Mathematics

Academic performance of students is usually dependent on the individual intellectual and cognitive ability. However, several students face issues with leaning performance, mainly in mathematics. This study examines the effects of three psychological variables—readiness, interest, and attitude—on students' performance on the mathematics portion of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Exam. These elements need to be carefully considered because they have a big impact on how well pupils succeed in school. The complex characteristic of attitude, which is impacted by both heredity and experiences, shapes students' attitudes towards mathematics. Interest, which is described as a genuine love of the subject, influences learning outcomes through influencing students' engagement, motivation, and readiness, which comprises preparedness and personal qualities, affects students' ability to comprehend and apply mathematical concepts. The research proposes a conceptual framework that explains how these psychological factors impact performance on the CSEC Mathematics Examination. On the other side, enthusiastic attitudes and interest promote a supportive learning environment. Furthermore, traits like mentality and self-discipline affect pupils' preparation. The attitudes, interests, and readiness of students are also influenced by the teachers' methods of instruction, the dynamics in the classroom, and the subjects covered in the lessons. In conclusion, psychological factors have a big impact on how well students do on the CSEC Mathematics Exam. Teachers and governments can improve students' learning experiences and outcomes in mathematics education by recognizing the interplay of attitudes, interest, and preparation. Keywords: Attitude, Interest, Readiness.

Tri-model classifiers for EEG based mental task classification: hybrid optimization assisted framework

The commercial adoption of BCI technologies for both clinical and non-clinical applications is drawing scientists to the creation of wearable devices for daily living. Emotions are essential to human existence and have a significant impact on thinking. Emotion is frequently linked to rational decision-making, perception, interpersonal interaction, and even basic human intellect. The requirement for trustworthy and implementable methods for the detection of individual emotional responses is needed with rising attention of the scientific community towards the establishment of some significant emotional connections among people and computers. This work introduces EEG recognition model, where the input signal is pre-processed using band pass filter. Then, the features like discrete wavelet transform (DWT), band power, spectral flatness, and improved Entropy are extracted. Further, for recognition, tri-classifiers like long short term memory (LSTM), improved deep belief network (DBN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) are used. Also to enhance tri-model classifier performance, the weights of LSTM, improved DBN, and RNN are tuned by model named as shark smell updated BES optimization (SSU-BES). Finally, the perfection of SSU-BES is demonstrated over diverse metrics.

Works are presented in the form of an Artwork Report with the main works being Presentation Mockups, Animation Videos and Presentation Posters.

Analysis of How the Music Curriculum Can Contribute to the Implementation of Quality Education from a Cognitive Developmental Perspective

As the demands on childrens quality development grow, music is gradually becoming a way of developing good morals. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how the music curriculum can contribute to the implementation of quality education from a cognitive developmental perspective based on existing literature and research results. With regard to music education, three aspects are analysed: humanistic, aesthetic and practical. Concerning cognitive development, it is analysed through four stages of cognitive development. The result shows that the music curriculum has largely improved the cognitive, intellectual and psychological abilities of students, and the application of cognitive development theory in education has improved teachers teaching methods, together contributing to the development of quality education. The application of theory in education has led to a steady shift in the educational paradigm towards a focus on individual differences and a greater student-centred approach. According to research, there is a direct correlation between musical quality and cognitive growth. The aesthetic foundation of the music curriculum is stressed, with a goal of encouraging qualitative growth. Teachers have a solid theoretical foundation to work from when they change lesson plans because of the theory of cognitive development.

Can pretrained networks be used in fault diagnosis of monoblock centrifugal pump?

Monoblock centrifugal pumps are used daily and play an essential role in agriculture, wastewater treatment, food, paper, gas and oil industries. Extended and endless use of monoblock centrifugal pump can affect the desired pump characteristics, compromising the efficiency of the pump. The condition of a pump is judged based on the high vibration, unusual noise, leakage, etc. Maintaining pump health is essential to increase the productivity in industry. Countless experiments were carried out by researchers to maintain the efficiency of the pump. The main shortcomings of traditional fault diagnosis are the need for a high degree of human intellect and professional knowledge. Such drawbacks have made the researchers provide autonomous and intelligent diagnostic tools. The objective of this article is to investigate the possibility of use of deep learning technique to identify the type of fault present in the monoblock centrifugal pump. First, vibration signals from the monoblock centrifugal pump were acquired and plotted as images that serve as an input for deep learning (DL) algorithms. The deep learning system can analyse the status of the monoblock centrifugal pump and learn from the vibration signal plots. In this paper, pre-trained networks such as ResNet-50, AlexNet, GoogleNet and VGG-16 were used to diagnose the fault in the monoblock centrifugal pump. The outcome of the hyperparameters namely learning rate (LR), batch size (BS), split ratio (SR) and solver were considered and the best performing network was recommended for the monoblock centrifugal pump fault diagnostics. Findings: A higher classification accuracy of 100% with lower training time of 177 s was obtained while using ResNet-50.

Gender-Gap in Internet Literacy in India: A State-Level Analysis

Internet literacy is the knowledge of using internet facility, deals with intellectual ability of men and women. Internet plays very important role in our daily life to live, learn, work in a society to access information, knowledge, entertainment and improve our skills and internet literacy is one of the basic literacy whereas the gender gap is difference between men and Women in social, political, intellectual, cultural, economic attainments’ or attitudes. The present study analyses gender gap in internet literacy in India using National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 5 data employing descriptive statistics, and t test. Study analyses gender gap in internet literacy in all the states of India shows clearly there is considerable level of gender gap among men and women.

Assam has one of the lowest rates of male Internet literacy in India, whereas Goa has one of the highest (82.90). Bihar has the lowest percentage of Internet-literate women, while Sikkim has the most. The gender disparity is most in the state of Telengana, with a score of 30.9, followed by Chhattisgarh (29.6), and it is at its smallest in the state of Sikkim, with a score of 1.5 and the gender difference seems to be more than 20 in the majority of the states.

Mental health challenges faced by autistic people.

Mental health challenges impede the well-being of autistic people. This Review outlines contributing neurodevelopmental and physical health conditions, rates and developmental trajectories of mental health challenges experienced by autistic people, as well as unique clinical presentations. A framework is proposed to consider four contributing themes to aid personalized formulation: social-contextual determinants, adverse life experiences, autistic cognitive features, and shared genetic and early environmental predispositions. Current evidence-based and clinical-knowledge-informed intervention guidance and ongoing development of support are highlighted for specific mental health areas. Tailored mental health support for autistic people should be neurodivergence-informed, which is fundamentally humanistic and compatible with the prevailing bio-psycho-social frameworks. The personalized formulation should be holistic, considering physical health and transdiagnostic neurodevelopmental factors, intellectual and communication abilities, and contextual-experiential determinants and their interplay with autistic cognition and biology, alongside resilience. Supporting family well-being is integral. Mutual empathic understanding is fundamental to creating societies in which people across neurotypes are all empowered to thrive.

Homo-Loggatus. The Anthropological Condition of Historians in the Digital World

Computerization has created a digital ecological niche where humans live in interconnection that modifies their Epigenetics. Within this hyper-datafied virtual space, the logged-in agent enhances their intellectual and rational abilities, giving rise to a new cognitive entity. Humans are evolving towards a new anthropological status that shifts the terms of the Digital History debate from History to the historian, compelling the latter to reflect on the positions of Fichte and Schelling regarding the mind-body-world relationship (ecological niche). This reflection leads to the possibility of overcoming the crisis of History imposed by presentism and the necessity of redefining the research methodology based on the new vision of the interconnection between the mind and the digital niche as an investigative tool.

Tracing a new path in the field of AI and robotics: mimicking human intelligence through chemistry. Part II: systems chemistry.

Inspired by some traits of human intelligence, it is proposed that wetware approaches based on molecular, supramolecular, and systems chemistry can provide valuable models and tools for novel forms of robotics and AI, being constituted by soft matter and fluid states as the human nervous system and, more generally, life, is. Bottom-up mimicries of intelligence range from the molecular world to the multicellular level, i.e., from the Ångström ( meters) to the micrometer scales ( meters), and allows the development of unconventional chemical robotics. Whereas conventional robotics lets humans explore and colonise otherwise inaccessible environments, such as the deep oceanic abysses and other solar system planets, chemical robots will permit us to inspect and control the microscopic molecular and cellular worlds. This article suggests that systems made of properly chosen molecular compounds can implement all those modules that are the fundamental ingredients of every living being: sensory, processing, actuating, and metabolic networks. Autonomous chemical robotics will be within reach when such modules are compartmentalised and assembled. The design of a strongly intertwined web of chemical robots, with or without the involvement of living matter, will give rise to collective forms of intelligence that will probably reproduce, on a minimal scale, some sophisticated performances of the human intellect and will implement forms of "general AI." These remarkable achievements will require a productive interdisciplinary collaboration among chemists, biotechnologists, computer scientists, engineers, physicists, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers to be achieved. The principal purpose of this paper is to spark this revolutionary collaborative scientific endeavour.

IQ, parent- and self-reports of child anxiety and salivary cortisol in a sample of children with autism spectrum disorder

This study examined the relation between IQ, parent-reported child anxiety, and salivary cortisol levels in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with a wide range of intellectual abilities using a prospective design. Results showed that IQ at time 1 (T1) positively predicted parent-reports of child anxiety at time 2 (T2); however, IQ at T1 negatively predicted cortisol levels from saliva samples taken at a research laboratory at T2. Parent reports of child anxiety at T1 and T2 were not associated with cortisol levels at T2. Implications for the assessment of anxiety in youth with ASD are discussed.

Electronic governancе in the human capital assessment system

Current affairs in our country necessitate the introduction of effective steps for the post-war restoration of various spheres of the state and society. One of the most important aspects of Ukraine’s post-war restoration is currently considered to be the recovery of human capital, which will have a positive impact on improving various aspects of the state’s functioning. At the same time, it is important to continuously assess human capital by determining the relevant indexes, which should be facilitated by electronic governance. The aim of the research is to study the possibility of using electronic governance in Ukraine as a tool for reflecting the process of post-war recovery of human capital. The research was conducted using methods of theoretical generalization, compara­tive and systemic analyses, modeling. The paper analyzed the concept of human capital as a special type of capital that is expressed in the form of intellectual abilities and practical skills that were acquired in the process of education and practical activity of a person. The state of human capital in Ukraine before the war, which remained relatively stable until 2021, and during the war period, when there were noticeable losses of human capital under the influence of various factors, were analyzed. The prospect of post-war recovery of human capital was considered, with special attention. In addition, the concept and features of electronic governance as a tool for reflecting the recovery of human capital and one of the strategies for Ukraine’s post-war restoration were consi­dered. The dynamics of the Human Capital Index in Ukraine for 2010–2021 was analyzed. It was found that electronic governance, by analyzing data from official sources, makes it possible to calculate the Human Capital Index. It was noted that Big Data and artificial intelligence can be used to determine changes in human capital, which is possible due to the availability of electronic governance. The results allow us to state that there are significant opportunities to use electronic governance to assess human capital with a reflection of its post-war recovery.

Emotional well-being of schoolchildren: theoretical foundations and prospects for research

Introduction. Within the framework of current educational reforms, a trend towards raising requirements for intellectual and psycho-emotional abilities of all educational process participants has become evident. With an increasing number of emotionally intense events, the issue of forming and maintaining the emotional well-being of schoolchildren is becoming more urgent. The key feature of the school environment is emotional well-being, which the authors define as a stable and emotionally positive state of a child in the learning environment; and which is based on satisfying one’s age-related needs, awareness of one’s own emotions and possession of the skills of emotional regulation and reflection.Aim. The article aims to formulate and analyse the problem of emotional well-being, to provide an overview of scientific approaches to its operationalisation, and to determine methodological foundations and directions for assessing the emotional well-being of Russian schoolchildren.Methodology and research methods. Research methods include a review of scientific works by contemporary Russian and foreign scholars; systemic, comparative, and logical analysis of modern approaches to the notion of emotional well-being of schoolchildren. The research methodological foundation is rooted in the provisions of positive psychology, the concepts of subjective well-being (N. Bradburn, E. Dinner) and psychological well-being (C. Ryff), self-determination theory (M. Seligman, R. M. Ryan, E. L. Deci), and ecological systems theory (W. Bronfenbrenner).Results and scientific novelty. The paper determines scientific approaches to analyse emotional well-being of a schoolchild, contributes to the concept of operationalisation, and defines the directions for assessing emotional well-being on the basis of two factors: social environment and personal characteristics of a schoolchild.Practical significance. The research results can be used as a foundation for designing the empirical research into characteristics of the emotional well-being of Russian schoolchildren. The present findings might help to develop a programme for improving schoolchildren emotional well-being considered as a key factor to assess schoolchildren emotional well-being in the learning environment in the context of constant social transformations.

Innovative approaches and methods in language and literature education professional training

The article explores various innovative teaching technologies for the Ukrainian language and the appropriateness of their use to enhance students' knowledge quality and develop their intellectual and linguistic abilities. Presently, the demand for specialists in the labor market and their competitiveness largely depend on competent speech (oral and written), the ability to communicate effectively, knowledge of language influence techniques, and persuasion. It is noted that societal needs are changing, which require a teacher to be an innovator and researcher capable of critical thinking. However, there is a limited number of developed innovative technologies focused on fostering the individuality of future professionals. The article examines innovative educational approaches that are advisable to prepare future professionals, their impact on the professional training of language teachers, and the dilemmas that arise in current educational conditions. It is proven that experts analyze the development of various directions in contemporary education and science and also contribute to future changes in the reform of future teacher training systems. There is a continuous exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge on many modern education and science issues. Higher education teachers use the progressive experience of national and foreign scientists and introduce effective, innovative technologies and teaching methods to improve the education of future language teachers at the current stage of education and science development. The discussed content of innovative technologies and their role in the methodological training of present-day language teachers are oriented toward forming and improving professional competencies. The described technologies can be used in teaching various subjects within the philological cycle. It will help develop a conscious readiness of future language teachers to implement innovative approaches in the school practices of secondary education institutions. The use of innovative technologies helps address educational and developmental tasks, such as activating students' mental activities and implementing individualized learning. These will help to save learning time for further use, ensure controllability and predictability of results, utilize the best practices from worldwide educational experiences, and create conditions for the practical application of the potential abilities of future language teachers. Innovative technologies effectively implement important didactic principles of linguistic education, such as scientific nature, visuality, accessibility, and autonomy

A - 85 Neuropsychological and Cultural Elements in the Assessment of Competency to Stand Trial.

Research has highlighted how key cognitive functions underlie abilities within the construct of Competency to Stand Trial (CST). This case study examines the impacts of Mild Neurocognitive Disorder and culture on a physician found incompetent to stand trial. A 62-year-old African-born male physician charged with Health Fraud who was referred for an examination of his CST. His attorneys raised concerns about his rational understanding of the proceedings and his ability to collaborate constructively with them. The client underwent comprehensive forensic, neuropsychological and neurological assessment. Neuropsychological testing revealed low-average intellectual abilities which likely reflected a decline from estimated premorbid levels. Contrary to expected performance given cultural factors, nonverbal intellectual abilities were markedly lower than verbal intellectual abilities. Compromises in multiple domains of cognition including memory were also noted. A referral to neurology revealed moderate atrophy and a mass in the right temporal fossa, in line with a diagnosis of Mild Neurocognitive Disorder with Multiple Etiologies. A causal connection between his cognitive deficits (e.g., compromised reasoning) and competence-relevant abilities (e.g., capacity to waive constitutional rights) was established. The subject was adjudicated incompetent to stand trial and, largely due to neurologic findings, unlikely to attain competency (i.e., non-restorable). This study demonstrates the value of neuropsychological assessment in both the clinical recognition of brain pathology and cognitive dysfunction in the setting of complex legal and cultural issues. Guidelines to address complex competency cases that warrant comprehensive assessment are needed.

H - 64 When the Miranda Warning cannot be Understood: Implications of Utilizing an Unqualified Interpreter.

Crenshaw (1989) identifies intersectionality as the interface between a person's identities in relation to inequalities in social systems. She explicates how individuals receive distinct encounters with privilege and discrimination from society, depending on their unique amalgamation of personal, social, and political identities. An example of this is seen in a monolingual Spanish speaker of Mexican descent who underwent an independent neuropsychological evaluation to determine any cognitive impairment related to his legal charges. The defendant is a 39-year-old male with lifelong cognitive difficulties and one year of formal schooling. At the time of the arrest, he was interrogated with the assistance of an inexperienced, uncertified interpreter. Sight translation of the Miranda warning included 8 made-up words and multiple verb-tense errors, resulting in 15% + of the warning being nonsensical. The interview transcript indicated the defendant experienced frequent comprehension difficulties. The defendant is of extremely low intellectual abilities (FSIQ = 67, 1%ile). Cognitive deficits were observed across various domains including academic skills (reading, writing, math) and verbal comprehension. He is able to manage basic activities of daily living but needs assistance with more complex tasks (e.g., use of debit card, paying bills). The evaluation suggests the defendant likely did not understand the Miranda warning and was swayed to confess during the interrogation. To combat institutional bias, law enforcement should be educated on individuals with lower cognitive capacities and the importance of accurate Spanish translation. Ignoring intersectionality and institutional bias perpetuates inequities in culturally appropriate care but can also contribute to wrongful convictions.

B - 89 The Association between Cognitive Ability and Performance Consistency on Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT).

To evaluate the relation between cognitive abilities and intra-individual variability (IIV) on the PASAT. 205 participants (M = 19years old, SD = 1.5; 55.1% female, 60% White, 24.4% Black, 6% Asian) completed the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV), PASAT, Animal Naming, Trail-Making Test (TMT) Parts A and B, and CNS Vital Signs. Normed scores were used for analysis. IIV on PASAT was calculated as the standard deviation around their own mean across four rates of presentation (2.4, 2.0, 1.6, and 1.2seconds). Pearson r correlations revealed PASAT total score was correlated with FSIQ [r = 0.56; p < 0.001], Animal Naming [r = 0.27; p < 0.001], CNS psychomotor speed [r = 0.27; p < 0.001], CNS cognitive flexibility [r = 0.24; p < 0.001], Trails Part B [r = 0.28; p < 0.001] and CNS executive functioning [r = 0.22; p < 0.001]. PASAT IIV was negatively correlated with FSIQ [r = -0.46; p < 0.001] and Animal Naming [r = -0.15; p = 0.034]. There were no significant associations between PASAT IIV and CNS vital signs domains or TMT performance. PASAT total score and performance variability were related to general intellectual ability. Individuals with higher IQ levels were more consistent for PASAT performance and performed better on the task. This is at odds with previous IIV research in health samples where IIV increases with global cognitive ability. Additionally, PASAT IIV was negatively related to Animal Naming performance but not other aspects of executive functioning. This unexpected finding requires further research.

Different Methods of EEG Signal Analysis Using Power Spectral Density, ChronoNet and ResNest

Brain diseases like epilepsy can be identified using electroencephalograms (EEGs). Automated EEG data processing has the potential to improve patient care because manual interpretation requires a lot of time, resources, and money. The paper emphasizes that EEG data can be used to detect intellectual ability and human brain-related diseases like epilepsy. We propose one method ResNest for estimating Intelligence Quotient and two methods (Power spectral density (PSD) and ChronoNet) for detecting epilepsy. The first approach involves utilizing the datasets found at zenodo organization with 5-fold cross validation using the Welch PSD for feature extraction and various classifiers (Kernel SVM, Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Decision Tree). It was found that 99.1% accuracy could be achieved using Kernel SVM. We also propose ChronoNet, a cutting-edge architecture for recurrent neural networks that has been constructed using the Keras framework. It achieves an accuracy of roughly 98.89% by utilizing the data found at Temple University Hospital EEG corpus. The required datasets from Kaggle have been utilized in conjunction with the ResNest method. Using ResNest50d (Epochs=10), we achieved a maximum accuracy of 91%.

Normal intellectual ability and hyperprolactinemia as unique clinical manifestations of congenital hypothyroidism: A case report and review of hypotheses.

Congenital hypothyroidism is the deficiency of thyroid hormone in infants and hyperprolactinemia is frequently observed. Previously reported cases typically involve intellectual disability, highlighting this particular unique case report to the first reported patient demonstrating normal intellectual ability despite experiencing growth and gonad dysfunction. This study aims to present a case and review medical hypotheses related to the patient's condition. A 19-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of irregular menstruation for up to 40 days or not occurring at all. The patient experienced the first menstruation at the age of 16 years old. The patient's height was 133 cm, body weight 40 kg, and body mass index 22.61 kg/m2; other family members were normal. Physical examination showed no abnormalities, and laboratory examination showed suppressed serum free T4 (FT4) level (6.41 pmol/L), elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level (333.700 µIU/mL), and elevated prolactin hormone level (32.03 ng/mL). Ultrasound of the thyroid gland found hypoplasia of the left and right thyroid glands. The patient was a college student enrolled in a public national university and had never complained about academic performance throughout the patient's education. The patient was diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia. The patient was administered up to 100 µg daily of oral levothyroxine, which improved the patient's menstrual cycles. The patient's delayed diagnosis may be attributed to central congenital hypothyroidism being underdiagnosed. We hypothesized that thyroid-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR) gene mutation might contribute to the underlying cause of hyperprolactinemia and normal intellectual ability of the patient. Further study on the significance of TRHR gene mutations in congenital hypothyroidism is required to improve diagnosis and treatment.

Anarchism Paul Karl Feyerabend: His Concept and Dedication to Development of Contemporary Islamic Education

Education is a basic and very important activity for every individual. Through education, humans can gain knowledge about everything. Apart from that, education also influences human awareness in knowing God more deeply and understanding themselves. Therefore, quality education will provide the expected results, namely the use of an individual's intellectual abilities in all aspects of his life. Paul Karl Feyerabend is known as a controversial philosopher who put forward anarchist views in epistemology and scientific methodology. In the context of Islamic education, Feyerabend believes that freedom of thought, criticism and dialogue are important principles that must be emphasized in the learning process. The purpose of this research is to investigate the concept and dedication of Paul Karl Feyerabend in the context of contemporary Islamic education with an anarchist perspective. This research is library research with a qualitative approach that focuses on descriptive analysis based on data information obtained, including sources. primary or secondary. The results of the analysis show that in Feyerabend's view, the concept of anarchism is not about disorder or chaos, but rather about diversity, plurality, and criticism of authority and norms that inhibit freedom of thought and expression. Feyerabend's dedication to contemporary Islamic education can be seen in his efforts to promote freedom of thought, independent research and as a source of inspiration for developing alternative approaches to religious learning. The anything goes principle provides the basis for creating an educational environment that is inclusive, critical, and based on freedom of thought.
