ANALYSIS OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

The introduction of new technologies is an increasingly common resource in the educational environment and, especially, in the teaching of a language. In this research work, a bibliographic analysis of the evolution of the most important methods and approaches in the teaching-learning process of the English foreign language aimed at higher education students was carried out, and the relationship between technology and foreign language teaching-learning is analyzed from a diachronic and critical perspective. To this end, the emergence of different technologies in the field of language teaching and learning is considered, as well as the analysis of their effectiveness in the foreign language learning process, noting various cycles of technological innovation, enthusiasm about its possibilities, scarcity of evidence of results and a call for caution regarding the impact of the technology itself. In conclusion, a state of positive but cautious alertness to the constant emergence of technologies that generate new opportunities for memorable learning is raised.

An Analytical Study of Foreign Direct Investment in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)

The aim of this paper is to identify the critical determinants in the Gulf Cooperation Council (which will be referred to as GCC) for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows. Using the understanding of financial econometrics, the study discusses a significant positive association between FDI in Non-oil industries, while on the contrary, the negative association with the Oil industries. Natural resources are a path for some countries to attract FDI. Still, it does not achieve the main benefits of FDI, which are the introduction of new technology and the offering of job opportunities. Existing literature argues the suggestion that resource-rich countries attract less FDI because of resource (oil) price volatility. Statistical Models in Economics are used to analyze the data to achieve a conclusion. This study examines that natural resources discourage FDI in GCC countries, and helps identify policy reform priorities to support diversification and growth in the GCC through foreign investment.

Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Inflow to ECOWAS Member Countries

The benefits of FDI to host economies can never be overlooked by policymakers in their quest to formulate a policy driven. FDI aids the recipient economies through solving the savings deficiency problems, introduction of new technology, bridging revenue gap and addressing issues relating to management and many others. The study sought to investigate the determinants of FDI inflow into ECOWAS member countries using panel data from the time period of 1990-2017. The study specifically aimed to investigate the differential effect of external debt, political stability, trade openness and inflation on FDI flow to ECOWAS member countries in the long run and also to investigate whether the variables of concern jointly influence FDI into ECOWAS member countries in the long run. The countries of interest were Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Niger, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. The results based on panel Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (PDOLS) show that trade openness and political stability have a positive and significant effect on FDI. Inflation and external debt do not have a significant effect on FDI inflows. Also, trade openness, political stability, inflation and external debt do not jointly influence FDI.

Проблемы правового регулирования общественных отношений в условиях доминирования технологических императивов

The relevance of this study is due to the emergence of new information technologies that prompt to transform the nature of the activities of the subjects of law, change the scope of their legal relations, and expand the horizon of future activities. Modern society, being in a state of constantly appearing and actively implemented technologies, has long been faced with the problem of legal regulation of new social relations arising in this connection. The intrusion of technology into all spheres of human activity is of such magnitude that it cannot ignore legal aspects. The problems of legitimizing new technical means and technologies, the ability of law to respond in a timely manner to the processes taking place, the limits of such a response and the preservation of the conceptual foundations of the law itself, its basic values and principles today remain not only relevant, but practically unresolved. There is also the reverse side of this issue - the preservation of the same foundations in society itself in the conditions of a continuous process of reworking the normative material. With a total transformation of social relations within the entire world community, law is also under the influence of new concepts: postmodern, postpostmodern, postindustrial society and other ideas that give it a multidirectional movement. Combined with the dominance of technological imperatives, its foundations are now under threat, and the prospects for further development are at least uncertain.
 Methodology: The study used the general scientific dialectical method and the formal-logical method. This made it possible to identify the causal links between changes in legislation and the new technological order.
 The results of this study show that the introduction of new technologies into society causes corresponding changes in the sphere of legal regulation, which contributes to the transformation of law into a kind of procedure of a strictly technical nature, which will lead to the loss of the creative function of law and its basic values.

A Systematic Review Discussing the Sustainability of Men and Women’s Work in Industry 4.0: Are Technologies Gender-Neutral?

The introduction of new technologies at work in the context of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has led to the emergence of risks for health, even if they are still underexplored. However, their understanding does not usually adopt a gender perspective, even though the gendered division of work has differentiated health outcomes. As sustainability is at the top of the political agenda and in consideration of the gender segregation that exists at work, it is pertinent to question how I4.0 technologies are reconfiguring workplaces and impacting women and men’s health. Following a systematic review approach using the PRISMA protocol, this study explores how gender is integrated in I4.0-themed studies, exploring employment, work, and health. After the identification and screening phases were completed, a total of 16 papers were included. Literature exploring technological transformation from a gender point of view is scarce, as well as research developed in concrete work contexts. The literature in this domain tends to address employment prospects, and women are generally described as being more at risk for job loss through automation processes. Health risks in the literature found in this review were mostly neither considered nor differentiated for women and men. Future studies should consider the specificities of different work contexts through the development of case studies in different activity sectors so that the risks for women and men can become visible. This way, interventions at a work organization level are enabled to create more sustainable working conditions.

Council of Europe standards on the use of facial recognition technologies in criminal proceedings or who is the eye of Sauron looking at

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current approaches of the Council of Europe regarding the regulatory regulation of the use of facial recognition technology in criminal proceedings, taking into account the wide spread of this method of fighting crime. The methodology includes the analysis of the Council of Europe Instructions on facial recognition dated January 28, 2021 and the Recommendations of the Council of Europe dated November 18, 2022, the study of the experience of other countries, the assessment of the risks of implementing this technology, the available scientific and theoretical material, and the formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. The following methods of scientific knowledge were used during the research: terminological, logical-semantic, functional, systemic-structural, logical-normative. The results. The result of the study was the determination of the main principles of the implementation of the national facial recognition system, which is definitely extremely necessary and effective in the activities of law enforcement agencies and the defense sector. In order to ensure a balance between the observance of human rights and the security of society and the state, this system must be based on legality, transparency, temporal criteria (determining the time of image storage), prohibition of discrimination (tracking based on national, religious and other criteria), audit and ethics. Practical significance. The conducted analysis of modern international standards and recommendations can be useful in the development of draft laws on the introduction of facial recognition technologies (amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine regarding the granting of permission to deploy a facial recognition system in a certain place with a certain purpose and the adoption of a special law on regulating the activities of a special national body responsible for the functioning of this system) to prevent human rights violations. The lack of ECtHR practice on this issue (one application was submitted for consideration) requires careful legislative elaboration of the introduction of new technologies.

The voice of healthcare: introducing digital decision support systems into clinical practice - a qualitative study

BackgroundThere is a need to accelerate digital transformation in healthcare to meet increasing needs and demands. The accuracy of medical digital diagnosis tools is improving. The introduction of new technology in healthcare can however be challenging and it is unclear how it should be done to reach desired results. The aim of this study was to explore perceptions and experiences of introducing new Information Technology (IT) in a primary healthcare organisation, exemplified with a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for malignant melanoma.MethodsA qualitative interview-based study was performed in Region Stockholm, Sweden, with fifteen medical doctors representing three different organisational levels – primary care physician, primary healthcare centre manager, and regional manager/chief medical officer. In addition, one software provider was included. Interview data were analysed according to content analysis.ResultsOne central theme “Introduction of digital CDSS in primary healthcare requires a multidimensional perspective and handling” along with seven main categories and thirty-three subcategories emerged from the analysis. Digital transformation showed to be key for current healthcare providers to stay relevant and competitive. However, healthcare represents a closed community, very capable but with lack of time, fostered to be sceptical to new why change needs to bring true value and be inspired by people with medical background to motivate the powerful frontline.ConclusionsThis qualitative study revealed structured information of what goes wrong and right and what needs to be considered when driving digital change in primary care organisations. The task shows to be complex and the importance of listening to the voice of healthcare is valuable for understanding the conditions that need to be fulfilled when adopting new technology into a healthcare organization. By considering the findings of this study upcoming digital transformations can improve their success-rate. The information may also be used in developing a holistic approach or framework model, adapted to primary health care, that can support and accelerate the needed digitalization in healthcare as such.

Opportunities and Scope of Electric Vehicle in India

The vehicle industry has advanced due to the introduction of new technology. Alternatives to internal combustion engines include electric automobiles. Demand for electric vehicles is rising globally due to their lower CO2 emissions. The Indian government also intends to boost the production of electric vehicles in the automotive sector. This essay discusses the commercial prospects and difficulties for electric automobiles in India. This study discusses the economic, social, technological, and environmental variables influencing the electric car industry in India. The development of the infrastructure and batteries is influenced by the aforementioned economic and technological considerations. Over the past ten years, the global market for electric vehicles has grown at an unparalleled rate. In this essay, we first go over the potential and reach of electric vehicles in India. We also talk about the many frameworks and policies that the Indian government has put in place. Then, we research different adoption case studies for electric vehicles from throughout the globe. Finally, we discuss how India could put these tactics into practise and profit from them both locally and nationally. The India Electric Vehicle Market has a market size of USD 5 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at an astounding CAGR of over 44% to reach USD 47 billion by 2026. (2021 – 2026). The market for electric cars (EVs) is expanding quickly on a global scale. The EV market has now experienced tremendous growth in India as well. As the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises implemented the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) initiative in 2015, the market is expanding further. Sales of all electric vehicles reached 365,920 units in 2018 and are projected to increase by 36% CAGR through 2026. In India, the market for EV batteries is anticipated to reach US$ 520 million in 2018 and increase at a CAGR of 30% through 2026.Electric cars provide ways to be self-sufficient and independent of foreign energy sources. One of the biggest producers of crude oil in the world is India. India might undergo a significant transformation towards self-sustainability thanks to electric automobiles. Alternatives to reduce carbon dioxide gas include electric vehicles (EV). Air pollution is a serious issue in large cities like Delhi and Mumbai. One of the sources of air pollution is the carbon dioxide produced by cars. Electric cars operate smoothly, emit little pollutants, and are highly efficient. According to research on the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, they consume 37.5% less energy and emit 35% fewer greenhouse gases than gasoline vehicles . Government financial policies to promote EV adoption have already been established, but for them to be effectively implemented, decision-makers must have a long-term perspective. India's history of EV has been disappointing so far. Lack of loading infrastructure, inconsistent government support and early product failures have all led to the stagnant growth in recent years.

Due to the fact, that the unmanned aircraft market is the fastest growing market of all categories of aviation, the authors in the article provide a theoretical and terminological view of the researched issues, including a brief historical view of the development of unmanned aircraft.

Attitudes of Anesthesiologists toward Artificial Intelligence in Anesthesia: A Multicenter, Mixed Qualitative-Quantitative Study.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is predicted to play an increasingly important role in perioperative medicine in the very near future. However, little is known about what anesthesiologists know and think about AI in this context. This is important because the successful introduction of new technologies depends on the understanding and cooperation of end users. We sought to investigate how much anesthesiologists know about AI and what they think about the introduction of AI-based technologies into the clinical setting. In order to better understand what anesthesiologists think of AI, we recruited 21 anesthesiologists from 2 university hospitals for face-to-face structured interviews. The interview transcripts were subdivided sentence-by-sentence into discrete statements, and statements were then grouped into key themes. Subsequently, a survey of closed questions based on these themes was sent to 70 anesthesiologists from 3 university hospitals for rating. In the interviews, the base level of knowledge of AI was good at 86 of 90 statements (96%), although awareness of the potential applications of AI in anesthesia was poor at only 7 of 42 statements (17%). Regarding the implementation of AI in anesthesia, statements were split roughly evenly between pros (46 of 105, 44%) and cons (59 of 105, 56%). Interviewees considered that AI could usefully be used in diverse tasks such as risk stratification, the prediction of vital sign changes, or as a treatment guide. The validity of these themes was probed in a follow-up survey of 70 anesthesiologists with a response rate of 70%, which confirmed an overall positive view of AI in this group. Anesthesiologists hold a range of opinions, both positive and negative, regarding the application of AI in their field of work. Survey-based studies do not always uncover the full breadth of nuance of opinion amongst clinicians. Engagement with specific concerns, both technical and ethical, will prove important as this technology moves from research to the clinic.

The colors of the empire: Assessing techno-decorative innovations in local, hybrid and intrusive ceramic pigments within the Wari interaction spheres, Peru

Ancient empires developed diverse strategies of political and cultural domination in their conquered territories. One such strategy involved introducing imperially branded goods that reinforced a legitimizing ideology. The appearance of intrusive styles may be an indicator of political dominance; however, the introduction of new technologies is a stronger indicator of interpersonal engagement between people in the empire’s core and dominated regions. In this paper, we specifically focus on innovations in colors, pigments, and decoration of intrusive, local, and hybrid ceramic styles resulting from the interaction between the Wari Empire (600–1050 CE) of the Central Andes and local societies from the north and south coast of Peru. These innovations can be documented long after the Wari influence faded in each region. By integrating archaeological and archaeometric perspectives, we examine techno-decorative innovations among locally produced pottery within the imperial interaction spheres. This paper presents and compares the results of chemical and mineral analyses conducted on samples of pigments on decorated ceramics from the Valleys of Jequetepeque, Nasca, and Moquegua. Results indicate that Wari could have directly promoted the circulation of specific ceramic pigments that guaranteed a particular “Wari experience of color.” We argue that an inter-site approach to the study of colors, pigments, and decoration can better contribute to the understanding of politics and ceramic production relationships, religious syncretism, and cultural change in the Andean past.

EuMAR: a roadmap towards a prospective, cycle-by-cycle registry of medically assisted reproduction in Europe.

More than 20 years ago, the survey of activities in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) was initiated in Europe and resulted in cross-sectional annual reports, as issued by the European IVF Monitoring (EIM) consortium of ESHRE. Over time, these reports mirror the continuous development of the technologies and contribute to increased transparency and surveillance of reproductive care. Meanwhile, progressive changes of existing treatment modalities and the introduction of new technologies resulted in the need of a cumulative approach in the assessment of treatment outcomes, which warrants a prospective cycle-by-cycle data registry on MAR activities, including fertility preservation. This change in the paradigm of data collection in Europe towards the construction of cumulative outcome results is expected to generate additional insights into cross-institutional but also cross-border movements of patients and reproductive material. This is essential to improve vigilance and surveillance. The European monitoring of Medically Assisted Reproduction (EuMAR) project, co-funded by the European Union, will establish a registry for the transnational collection of prospective cycle-by-cycle MAR and fertility preservation data on the basis of an individual reproductive care code (IRCC). The rationale for the project and the objectives are presented here.

Directions for the implementation of regulatory means for the application of tax benefits in the general system of regulatory regulation of technology support means

This paper substantiates the expediency of conducting scientific research into the formation of the concept of tax benefits within the framework of technology transfer, which would meet the strategic interests of the state and business needs. The study is aimed at finding the optimal level of tax benefits within the existing means of state support for the introduction of new technologies. It is proved that the effectiveness of preferential taxation depends on the area of implementation, the level of the economy, the sustainability and immutability of tax legislation. Normative means of formation of a system of preferential taxation of innovation activity and technology transfer within the legal system are proposed, namely: 1) a candidate for tax benefits from the state must undergo a special permitting procedure for confirming its legal status; 2) the system of tax benefits for participants in innovative relations and technology transfer should include two options for tax systems. On the one hand, there should be a system of tax benefits based on a preferential rate of income tax, value added tax, and an increased level of depreciation. On the other hand, a special type of simplified taxation system should be implemented, which should contain special (preferential) rates for paying a single tax; 3) the types of activities that can be carried out by business entities wishing to receive tax benefits should be limited by law. Such activities should include only those that carry out activities in the field of social production of goods. The results of the study take into account the world experience of using similar means of support and can be used in the formation of regulatory means for regulating these relations

Bicycle Protection System Using GPS/GSM Modules аnd Radio Protocol

Bicycle security systems have not developed as much as home security, and it is difficult to find competitive examples when researching the market. Many security systems on the market have weaknesses that can be bypassed or are not convenient to use. The technologies used to protect bicycles are rather uniform, predictable and not reliable. Most of such systems do not have convenient means of monitoring, such as, for example, a mobile application. Improvement of these systems, introduction of new technologies is very relevant in the field of bicycle protection. This is due to the unpopularity of these systems, their unreliability and lack of control over the phone. The majority of bicycle users are inclined to use proven methods – bicycle locks. But this decision is wrong.The system with GPS is so easy not to be deceived – it has more than one level of protection, and quickly warns the user about a threat. It has deterrents and means of attracting the attention of others.In addition, the use of GSM technology facilitates the possibility of control through a mobile application, which simplifies work with the system.Using GPS is the best way to monitor the position of the bicycle in space, and to track movement in unpredictable circumstances. GPS opens a number of possibilities and increases the functionality of the system. From monitoring the situation of the protection object to collecting statistics].The GSM module is almost never used in bicycle security systems. This is due to the concept of bike guarding, which says why use the ability to transmit data to any corner of the world if the user does not move more than 100 meters from the guarded object. But this concept is wrong. GSM is one of the fastest solutions among analogs. But transmission speed is not the only criterion for information transmission in wireless systems.Since the bicycle is a moving object, and the security system must be wireless, an important criterion for the functioning of such a system is the operating time.This article deals with the problem of protecting a moving object, using GSM and GPS modules. The main features of existing systems in this area, their advantages and disadvantages are shown. The advantages of using a radio protocol for bicycle protection are given. A model of the system that meets the needs of the user has been developed.

Understanding the Long-Term Evolution of Mobile App Usage

The prevalence of smartphones has promoted the popularity of mobile apps in recent years. Although significant effort has been made to understand mobile app usage, existing studies are based primarily on short-term datasets with a limited time span, e.g., a few months. Therefore, many basic facts about the long-term evolution of mobile app usage are unknown. In this paper, we study how mobile app usage evolves over a long-term period. We first introduce an app usage collection platform named carat, from which we have gathered app usage records of 1,465 users from 2012 to 2017. We then conduct the first study on the long-term evolution processes on a macro-level, i.e., app-category, and micro-level, i.e., individual app. We discover that, on both levels, there is a growth stage enabled by the introduction of new technologies. Then there is a plateau stage caused by high correlations between app categories and a Pareto effect in individual app usage, respectively. Additionally, the evolution of individual app usage undergoes an elimination stage due to fierce intra-category competition. The inter-diversity of app-category and individual app usage exhibits opposing trends: app-category usage assimilates while individual app usage diversifies. Nevertheless, the intra-diversity of both app-category and app usage declines over time. Also, we demonstrate the country barriers of app category usage. We further investigate how different demographics affect the evolutionary processes of app usage. Our study provides useful implications for app developers, market intermediaries, and service providers.

Robots and Intelligent Medical Devices in the Intensive Care Unit: Vision, State of the Art, and Economic Analysis

Robotics is widely seen as a key enabling technology for the society of tomorrow. We examine the role of robotics and intelligent medical devices in Intensive Care Medicine. Demographics predict that more elderly patients will need to be treated with fewer healthcare personnel, calling for innovations in ICU management. Robotics is a key enabling technology for this century and may help smoothing the foreseeable workload/manpower disparity in medicine. While robotics cannot replace the crucial human interactions in healthcare, it’s important to identify those areas where it can contribute in the near and foreseeable future. Studying the application of robotics in the ICU in a manner beneficial for patients and accepted by ICU team is therefore desirable. Financial sustainability is essential for the introduction of new technologies to the ICU. This study assesses the state-of-the-art of robotics in intensive care medicine and identifies opportunities for progress, using an observational approach in a teaching hospital ICU in combination with an indepth review of the literature and a survey of the market. Tasks potentially amenable to robotics are identified, their acceptability to patients and caregivers are examined and their quantitative contribution to future management of an intensive care unit is assessed.
