The Interest and Perception of Associate Degree Nursing Students about Working in Health Services

Interest is the desire or will of a person to something. if there is a motivation from the individual can develop that desire, or will, while perception is everything that a person thinks, sees and feels. it can distinguish someone from others. then the interests and perceptions of every student must be different, depending on the understanding and interests of each student. it's becoming important, as an input to defining the policy direction for existing educational services. The purpose of this research was to describe the interests and perceptions of students of nursing level 3 working in the health service. The method used a quantitative design with a total sampling of 64 people. The result of this study found that more students were choosing hospitals for their first place of work after graduating from college. This is because according to students, hospitals have many cases of illness so it can sharpen the competence and ability becoming more and more skilled. Thus, educational institutions can enhance cooperation with various hospitals both at home and abroad in an effort to improve the competence and absorption of graduates working in hospitals.

(Re-)Reading Sklar (1959)—A Personal View on Sklar’s Theorem

In this short communication, I share some personal thoughts on Sklar’s theorem and copulas after reading the original paper (Sklar, 1959) in French. After providing a literal translation of Sklar’s original statements, I argue that the modern version of ‘Sklar’s theorem’ given in most references has a slightly different emphasis, which may lead to subtly different interpretations. In particular, with no reference to the subcopula, modern ‘Sklar’s theorem’ does not provide the clues to fully appreciate when the copula representation of a distribution may form a valid basis for dependence modelling and when it may not.

REPLICATION OF CHARACTER CLOTHING ADAPTED FROM THE CHARACTER LEAFA IN THE SWORD ART ONLINE SERIES

Every clothing must have utility, beauty, or distinctiveness to keep buyers interested. Creative clothing is one type of apparel that is both unique and very creative. Creative clothing is clothing created as a consequence of a person's imagination, wishful thinking, thoughts, ideas, or inspiration to express creativity. The inspiration or inspirations for designing these imaginative garments might vary, such as the fantasy-themed animation series Sword Art Online. Sword Art Online is a fantasy series that prompted researchers to create imaginative attire, with the series' character Leafa serving as the primary inspiration. Leafa is a character from Suguha's sylph race in the Alfheim Online game who assists her older brother, Kirito, in saving Asuna, who is trapped in the game. This study intends to foster the writer's creativity by creating unique apparel and utilizing what he or she has learned in class. This study used the PPE model technique, which has three stages: planning, production, and assessment. This study creates unique attire that complements Leafa's qualities by using glossy textiles that provide a stunning and glamorous visual impression. The wing embellishments on this unique clothes add to its appeal and consistency with the theme.

Shifting mindsets from conference to (un)conference: A collaborative reflective perspective on conceptual disruption

The move from the traditional academic conference format to a loosely defined format of unconference can be contentious and spark a robust debate on the conceptual disruption of conferencing. As part of HELTASA’s strategic plan of re-structuring and re-imagining its vision and purpose, it initiated a new way of conferencing; participant-driven and participant-focused. Through self-reflective written narratives, this paper explores three academic development practitioners' experiences in planning and reflecting on the HELTASA’s (un)conference. We share our accounts of (un)conference as a conceptual disruption to the traditional conference format, concepts, and ways of doing and being. Qualitative data were collected from the three written narratives through a collective descriptive autoethnography research design and methodology. The insights collected are applied to the Conceptual Disruption Framework which proposes a tripartite framework for conceptual disruption, which distinguishes conceptual disruptions occurring at three levels (individual concepts, clusters of concepts, conceptual schemes), taking on two forms (conceptual gaps, conceptual conflicts), and leading to three distinct levels of severity (mild, moderate, severe). Using this framework, we describe our personal thoughts and perspectives in engaging with the novel approach of (un)conferencing. We probe into the potential of collaborative reflection to gain deeper insights and understanding of our shift from a traditional academic conference to a HELTASA (un)conference. We explore the discomfort, displacement, and learnings of the intentional disruption of our conceptual understanding of (un)conference practices. This paper highlights our shifting mindsets as we reflect and interrogate our thoughts and perspectives on the conceptual framing of (un)conferencing. The analysis of the data reveals that the engagement in the conceptual disruption of (un)conferencing together with the engagement with the concept planning and event provided the environment and atmosphere where the team appreciated brainstorming conceptual understandings, self-reflecting, and exploring different perspectives. This study provides empirical evidence of strength in collaboration, the building of conceptual disruption as a community of practice and possibility of (un)conferencing being a shape-shifter in higher education. At an interpersonal level, the process allowed us to self-interrogate the conceptual disruption, unpacking our thoughts and shaping our own thinking. The paper asserts that shifting mindsets from conference to (un)conference, involves conceptual disruption which is a messy process and requires a level of trust, openness, adaptability amongst all members of the organising team.

ЭМОЦИОНАЛЬНЫЙ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТ КАК ФАКТОР УСПЕХА В ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ

In the digital world, a high IQ is no longer a guarantee of sustained corporate success. A competitive market requires much more than just qualified personnel. It is clear from the scientific literature that emotional intelligence, combined with cognitive abilities, is becoming more important than «standardized» work. Emotions have a huge impact on how a person thinks and acts. Emotional intelligence affects life satisfaction, work attitude, and job satisfaction. The perceived emotional intelligence of a manager has a positive effect on employee job satisfaction. In the article, the authors consider emotional intelligence as the ability to process information about their own and others' emotions and use this information as a guide for thinking and subsequent behavior. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the emotional competence of a manager directly affects the ability to cope with a crisis, implement an effective motivation system and retain highly qualified employees in the company.

ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ НЕЙРОМЕНЕДЖМЕНТУ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТАРІЙ РОЗКРИТТЯ ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

The article is sanctified to the research of the use of neuromanagement theory in the process of acceptance the administrative decisions and personnel management for the increase of workers’ labour of the enterprise productivity because of expanding their potential. The essence of neuroscience as interdisciplinary scientific direction concentrated on the study of central nervous system, and therefore, the brain is exposed. The essence of neuromanagement is considered, it was noted that neuromanagement as the area of knowledge has not acquired yet systematic nature and continues to develop. New approaches to the process of acceptances HR decision that is base on the knowledge about the person’s brain become the constituent of management projects commands and personnel of the enterprises is underlined in the article. It is emphasised that close relationship is between how the person thinks and that how he/she acts. Much attention is paid to the non-invasive methods that allow knowing about human ideas and behavior. It is considered that the brain visualization tools allow to get knowledge for application in the process of making decision, in particular in relation to the choice of activity strategy (collaboration or competition), in the process of recruiting candidate (yes or no), use of punishments and bonuses for employees’ motivation, expanding their potential. Attention is paid to the knowledge about how a human brain works, can help in creation of the organizational system (organizational culture) that positively will influence on potential expanding and increase of attracted of workers (including motivation) in relation to implementation of duties, and also on building and development of interpersonal relations on the enterprise. Fundamental differences are between a neuromanagement and neuroleadership are revealed. The non-standard tool of neuromanagement gives an opportunity to considerably improve quality of management of the enterprises and organizations is proved in the article. If people are managed, taking into account their natural capabilities and talents, they completer expose their potential and, accordingly, work more productively and creatively, are inwardly motivated and value their work. It is set that neuromanagement is the step by step system that embraces all aspects of HR management, beginning from creation of working group and selection of employees, ending studies, delegation, efficiency verification, quarry increase, management changes and even discipline. Basic attention is concentrated on getting and attaning pleasure of employee due to the expanding of the potential.

Fusion of Topic Modeling and RoBERTa for Detecting Signs of Depression from Social Media

Depression, or Major Depressive Disorder, is a serious and common medical condition that affects people worldwide. It negatively affects the person's feelings, thoughts, and actions. Depression causes a loss of interest in activities he enjoyed in the past. It can lead to physical and emotional problems that hamper the daily activities at work and home. In recent years, much research has been done to identify Depression through various modalities of image, speech, and text through artificial intelligence. Social media is an important medium where many discussions and mentions happen about Depression. The current study proposes a novel approach to understand how the depressed and non-depressed communicate differently with the help of Topic Modeling with latent-Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and also detect depression with the help of Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach (RoBERTa). The current study achieved an accuracy of 66.4% for the depression detection model, which outperformed the previous approaches with similar methodology. The current study is helpful for self-diagnosis of signs of Depression at very early stages.

Decoding Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence

The exploration of whether artificial intelligence (AI) can evolve to possess consciousness is an intensely debated and researched topic within the fields of philosophy, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Understanding this complex phenomenon hinges on integrating two complementary perspectives of consciousness: the objective and the subjective. Objective perspectives involve quantifiable measures and observable phenomena, offering a more scientific and empirical approach. This includes the use of neuroimaging technologies such as electrocorticography (ECoG), EEG, and fMRI to study brain activities and patterns. These methods allow for the mapping and understanding of neural representations related to language, visual, acoustic, emotional, and semantic information. However, the objective approach may miss the nuances of personal experience and introspection. On the other hand, subjective perspectives focus on personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings. This introspective view provides insights into the individual nature of consciousness, which cannot be directly measured or observed by others. Yet, the subjective approach is often criticized for its lack of empirical evidence and its reliance on personal interpretation, which may not be universally applicable or reliable. Integrating these two perspectives is essential for a comprehensive understanding of consciousness. By combining objective measures with subjective reports, we can develop a more holistic understanding of the mind.

Academic Responsibilities, Obligations, and Freedom: A Call for Review - In Memory of Professor Dr. Tomáš Hudlický.

The advent and dominance of social media in our daily lives is not a matter of discussion, and very few minimalistic individuals have tried to decrease this technological dependency, which can become toxic and noxious for the development of an autonomous personality and free thinking. Academic faculties claim a depauperation in terms of their freedom but are also not free from duties, responsibilities, and obligations. Here, duties, responsibilities, obligations, and freedom are addressed in historical terms as the university as an institution developed over the centuries after its founding in the 11th century is currently under attack. We premonish that these concepts must still be reiterated and divulgated to students and fellows in academia. Galilei's "Eppur si muove" ("and yet it moves") are the words pronounced by the Italian mathematician, physicist, and philosopher Galileo Galilei that should resonate in censorship bodies now and in the future.

SELF-TRAINING OF FUTURE SKILLED WORKERS USING INNOVATIVE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

The article considers the importance and methods of self-training in the educational process of future skilled workers, emphasizing the importance of using innovative learning technologies, developing personal thinking and the ability to innovatively apply knowledge in practical activities. Modern approaches to self-training in the educational process of educational institutions are analyzed, including the use of active and interactive methods of self-development, the involvement of future qualified workers in the self-improvement of professional skills. The key role of the implementation of self-training in the educational process of training future qualified workers is emphasized, the importance of this aspect for the development of professional competences in the information and technological environment is emphasized. The role of active and interactive learning methods in attracting students to a deep understanding of self-development and practical application of knowledge in professional activities is determined. The importance of self-training for the development of professional skills and abilities, which determines the preparation of future qualified workers for independent work, is clarified. The need to provide access to modern resources and improve the qualifications of future skilled workers for the effective implementation of self-improvement in the educational process is emphasized. A comprehensive approach to reforming educational programs and teaching methods is proposed, which is crucial for the formation of highly qualified future skilled workers ready for innovative learning technologies. Such systematic training for self-development will contribute to the formation of professional competence in future qualified workers with the use of innovative technologies. A conclusion was made about the need for self-training in the educational process to ensure a high level of preparedness of future qualified workers, given the dynamically changing requirements of the modern educational environment.

IMPORTANCE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SERVICE LEARNING IN SPORT AND HEALTH HIGHER EDUCATION AREA

Service learning is increasingly recognized as a pedagogical approach providing benefits to students, faculties, educational institutions, communities, and society. It is challenge-based and a credit-based activity with many confirmed benefits in higher education areas such as developing students’ academic and personal skills, critical thinking, teamwork, and effective communication. The main aim of the research is to analyse differences in attitudes related to service learning between students who participated in academic courses with service-learning topics, and students who have no servicelearning knowledge on an academic level. The research was conducted on a sample of 88 students of Physical Education aged between 20 and 24 divided into two subsamples. Students in the experimental group (N=30) were attendees of an academic course where service learning themes were implemented. Students in the control group (N=58) did not participate in the programs with service learning themes on an academic level. SELEB questionnaire with six categories: civic responsibility, interpersonal skills, leadership ability, ability to apply knowledge, general life skills, and critical thinking, were used for measuring service learning benefits for students. Differences in research groups were noted for all six categories implying that implementation of service learning content in higher education programs of physical education and sports can improve students’ attitudes and quality of higher education.

Analisis Miskonsepsi Peserta Didik pada Materi Struktur Atom Menggunakan Five-Tier Multiple Choice Diagnostic Test Berbasis Piktorial

Misconceptions are one of the causes of students learning difficulties. One of the misconceptions about chemistry is the atomic structure. In general, chemistry subjects are abstract and difficult to visualize. It causes students to find it difficult to understand chemical concepts correctly. Misconceptions that occur in students will have an impact on understanding further material. Therefore, it is necessary to do an analysis to identify students who experience misconceptions so that efforts can be made to prevent and correct them. Misconceptions experienced by students can be identified through diagnostic tests, one of which is the five-tier diagnostic test. Most of the five-tier diagnostic tests used are narrative-based, which triggers student saturation. Therefore, this study uses a five-tier diagnostic test combined with a pictorial test. This research is to find out students misconceptions experienced by X-class SMA in the matter of atomic structure. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method. The instrument used in this study was a pictorial-based, five-tier diagnostic test consisting of 24 items. The results showed that students experienced misconceptions about atomic structure material with an average percentage of 20%. Students experience misconceptions about the concept of the development of atomic theory (18%), atomic constituent particles (23%), isotones, isobars, and isotopes (21%), and electron configurations (20%). Factors that cause misconceptions experienced by students include their prior knowledge, their interest in studying atomic structure material, the sources of their personal thoughts, their low ability and reasoning in understanding atomic structure material, and their lack of instilling concepts in them.

Subjectivity in Prateek Dhakal’s Parikrama Annapurna

Travel writing specially niyatra is becoming popular globally for introducing the hidden culture and location by travelers’ point of view. This research focuses on Prateek Dhakal’s Parikrama Annapurna as niyatra, a travel writing in which the writer expresses his experiences and emotions he has had during the travel. The study helps to promote Nepali niyatra literature globally and make the mountains of Nepal as described in Dhakal’s niyatra known to the world. Dhakal informs the readers about the hills and mountains of Nepal and describes how beautiful are the trekking trails for the nature lover to roam around the snow filled mountains. He explains the readers about the experiences of trekking in the Himalayas. The major objective of the research is to show how the writer’s personality appears in niyatra. For this, the theoretical approach of Byaas, Thompson and Blanton on niyatra literature are used. All of these theorists claim that writers involve in the travel and express their personal thoughts, feelings and emotions they have had during the travel in the writing. The writer steps out of home alone or with friend or friends and completes the travel by the means of transportation or on foot. Several evidences of writer’s appearance in niyatra are presented in the findings. Regarding methodology, the study draws the insights of travel writing and specially niyatra literature of Byaas, Thompson and Blanton as a theoretical framework and adopts descriptive research design for pointing out the voice of author, expression of his self, emotions, experiences and personal matters in the course of travel as conceptual framework. The major findings of the study are that Dhakal goes on trekking with the friends in Annapurna circuit, feels and experiences many things personally, watches mountains and hills and expresses his views and ideas in the text. The main conclusion of the research is that Dhakal expresses his self in the text and his appearance is dominant in Parikrama Annapurna. The text is a travel writing in which the personality of the writer is visible, his voice, feelings, emotions, and personal matters are audible. For the further researcher, use of imagination in travel writing can be another area to investigate in the text.

Systematic Literature Review terhadap Klasifikasi Emosi pada Lirik Lagu Berbahasa Ambon menggunakan Metode Bidirectional LSTM dengan Glove Word Representation Weighting

One form of text that can express emotions is lyrics. Lyrics are a type of literary work expressed in the form of words, the contents of which can express the songwriter's personal feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Therefore, the lyrics can be used as an object of research on the classification of emotions. The classification of song lyrics really requires bi-LSTM to be the input value when classifying data in the form of song lyrics in order to get high accuracy results. This research was carried out systematically and the results were measurable. Descriptive qualitative research was used in this research. The results of identification based on case studies and statistics show that the reviews of popular topics are identical. The classification of song lyrics really requires bi-LSTM to be the input value when classifying data in the form of song lyrics in order to get high accuracy results.

Philosophy and University Studies

The German social philosopher, educator, and founder of critical social theory Max Horkheimer wrote his work ‘Philosophy and University Studies’ as a speech delivered on August 6, 1948, at the University of Frankfurt before returning from emigration to the United States to post-war West Germany. A year later, after Horkheimer was reinstated as Director of the Institute for Social Research, this text was first published in the fourth issue of the ‘Frankfurter Hefte’. In this work, with which the German philosopher began a cycle of his philosophical and educational works, he continued the previous theme of the book ‘Dialectic of Enlightenment’ (1947), which, published in collaboration with Theodor W. Adorno, has the character of a programmatic socio-philosophical work of post-war critical theory. Horkhamer’s critique of the ideological elimination of the phenomenon of Western individual, which he made in his post-war article ‘Authority and the Family in Modernity’ (1947-1949), also found its theoretical continuation here. Following the theoretical essence of the ‘Dialectic of Enlightenment’, the Frankfurt philosopher identified one of the factors negative for the humanistic socio-cultural development of Western European society, which historically led to the humanitarian catastrophe of the Nazi ideology carriers domination, the theoretical knowledge that has powerfully eliminated the presence of customary principles of moral coexistence in Western society. The author also noted the process of ideological abolition of the social significance of the individual’s activity as a phenomenon of Western culture. Philosophy, primarily as a producer and carrier of abstract meanings, including humanistic ones, ideologically significant for normal social life, because of the social alienation caused by such a theory and society, has lost the opportunity to be a significant knowledge for both Western European society and university education as a common tool for this culture to educate the Western personality. In order to renew the spiritual forces of social life and turn the course of history towards humanised change, it was proposed to bring to the forefront of the renewed university education the power of personal critical thinking, the ability to foster which social power could not completely destroy in philosophy because of its traditionally inherent spiritual resilience.

Exploring the Perception of Nationality in Modern Japan from a Western Perspective in the Internet Era

Abstract Based on a Western perspective, this study utilized big data technology and web crawlers to obtain relevant ethnic and cultural information resources in Japan. Subsequently, these resources were sorted out, including the standardization and classification of content, to form a cultural resource base with national characteristics. At the same time, a BP neural network was used to evaluate the relevant factors. Finally, the accuracy and reliability of the model were verified by collecting relevant data and applying multiple linear regression methods. Among the positive probabilities, personal thoughts and social atmosphere were 0.8 and 0.66, respectively, which influenced the formation and orientation of the Japanese national cognitive structure to a certain extent. Traditional customs and religious beliefs are the factors that contribute the most to ethnicity cognition, with weights of 0.5474 and 0.4689, respectively. In the significance analysis, the p-values of dietary culture, dress culture and geographic environment are greater than 0.05, which indicates that these factors do not have a significant positive influence on ethnicity cognition.

Students’ conceptual understanding and causes of misconceptions on Newton’s Law

<span lang="EN-US">The aim of this research is to examine students’ conceptual comprehension and misconception causes on Newton’s Law material with a survey research method. The data collection instruments used five-tier multiple-choice tests and teacher interview guidelines. The sample selected was 259 students from three schools with the school categories of high, medium, and low as well as three physics teachers in these schools. The research results showed that the average misconception in the high, moderate, and low-category schools was, respectively, 19.4%, 20.61%, and 37.82% with the most misconceptions of each school category, on how to describe the force acting on objects, on how to investigate the direction of motion of objects on a particular trajectory, and on how to explain Newton’s Law I and the nature of inertia. Students in low-category schools experienced more misconceptions than medium and high-category school learners. The causes of misconceptions in the three categories of schools mostly came from the personal thoughts of the learners themselves. The implication of this research is that students in all school categories tend to experience misconceptions, mainly due to personal thoughts. Teachers are advised to identify and remediate students’ misconceptions so that they do not hinder their learning progress.</span>

Evaluation of Antidepressant Activity of Capsaicin Nanoemulsion in Nicotine Withdrawal-Induced Depression in Mice.

Depression is a low-energy condition that has an impact on a person's thoughts, actions, propensities, emotional state, and sense of wellbeing. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5% of adults are depressed. Individuals who are depressed are commonly prescribed antidepressants, and sometimes, individuals may have other psychiatric conditions that share overlapping symptoms with depression. These cooccurring conditions can complicate the diagnostic process, leading to a misdiagnosis and the prescription of antidepressants. Capsaicin (CAP) is a known antidepressant. Hence, this study aimed to assess the antidepressant activity of CAP nanoemulsion in nicotine (NC) withdrawal-induced depression in mice. Mice treated with CAP (3 mg/kg) showed reduced immobility in the forced swimming test (FST), tail-suspension test (TST), and open field test (OFT). During the OFT, the animals treated with nanoemulsion (CAP 3 mg/kg) spent less time in the corners than the control animals. Biochemical parameters, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), were observed in reduced quantities in the NC withdrawal model (NWM), where they were slightly increased in the high-dose nanoemulsion (CAP 3 mg/kg) compared to the low-dose nanoemulsion (CAP 1 mg/kg). These results suggest that CAP caused antidepressant activity in the NWM via the nanoemulsion.

Valence and perceived control in personal and collective future thinking: the relation to psychological well-being

ABSTRACT Prior studies have shown that people imagine their personal future to be more positive than their country’s collective future. The present research extends the nascent literature by examining the valence and perceived control of personal and national future events in a new experimental paradigm, the cultural generalizability of the findings, and the relation of future thinking to psychological well-being. US college students (Study 1) and US and Turkish community participants (Study 2) imagined what might happen to them and their country in three time points (i.e., next week, next year, and in 10–15 years). They then rated the emotional valence and perceived control of the events and completed a psychological well-being measure. Both US and Turkish participants imagined their personal future to be more positive than their country’s future, whereas they attributed higher perceived control to their countries for national future events than to themselves for personal future events. The positivity of national (Study 1) and personal future events (Study 2) predicted better psychological well-being, whereas perceived control did not. These original findings enrich our theoretical understanding of future thinking.
