The Relationship between Students’ Incremental Beliefs of Digital Intelligence and Behavioral Engagement in Learning Management System Courses

While the Learning Management System (LMS) has been recognized as a key e-learning platform, there is no clear picture of the factors contributing to learners’ engagement in LMS courses in literature. This study aimed at exploring the relationship between students’ incremental beliefs of digital intelligence and behavioral engagement in LMS courses with achievement goal orientation as a mediator. The participants were 176 undergraduate students in a Vietnamese university. Implicit theory of intelligence and academic achievement goals theory were used to develop the research model. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was applied to examine the relationship between students’ incremental beliefs of digital intelligence and the selected variables. Results showed that students’ incremental beliefs of digital intelligence were positively linked to four types of achievement goals: mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goals. Moreover, except for mastery-avoidance goals, the other three types were positively linked to behavioral engagement in LMS courses. The findings suggest that instructors’ encouragement can foster students’ incremental belief in digital intelligence and achievement goals. Furthermore, to promote students’ learning engagement, various approaches can be utilized to motivate students to appropriately combine different types of achievement goals.

The effect of hereditary thrombotic factors and comorbidities on the severity of COVID-19 disease.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread worldwide and presents critical challenges for public health. Due to its chronic and systemic course, COVID-19 is currently accepted as a multi-systemic infectious disease. Here we explore the possible association between disease course and hereditary thrombotic factors and comorbidities. The patients admitted to the COVID-19 center in the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine were recruited for the study. The patients were classified according to the clinical course, severe vs. mild. Five polymorphic loci were analyzed by multiplex PCR: Factor V Leiden (FVL), FII G20210A, Beta-fibrinogen G-455A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C. FII G20210A and Beta-fibrinogen G-455A genotypes were significantly higher in the study group compared to the literature. Wildtype genotype (GG) in Factor V Leiden locus was significantly associated with low D-Dimer levels (p =0.013). The GA genotype increased the D-Dimer levels 2.55-times compared to the GG genotype (p =0.003). Moreover, the Beta-fibrinogen G-455G genotype was significantly higher in the LDH>250 group (p =0.046). The presence of solid tumors in patients with COVID-19 was related to the severity of the disease course. No evidence of a correlation between the severity of the disease and all five thrombotic mutations was found, whereas the FII G20210A and Beta-fibrinogen G-455A mutations were significantly high compared to previously reported Turkish population data and global carrier rates. This finding will need to be verified by further studies with larger samples since it may reflect a likelihood of having the COVID-19 disease. The high carrier frequency of FVL mutation was more likely present in the D-dimer high group generating an increase in the D-dimer levels 2.55-times compared to the wildtype.

Судьи губернских судов общей подсудности в Западной Сибири в первой половине XIX в.: формально-качественные характеристики

The article is aimed at analyzing the results of civil service personnel management in provincial general jurisdiction courts and changes in the panel of judges in Western Siberia in the first half of the 19th century. In the course of the study, the author uses the following methods: analysis and synthesis, classification, descriptive, historical-typological, and historical-genetic methods. The subject of the study is the official lists of judicial establishment. To reach the aim, the author uses a variety of documents for personnel accounting for the period from 1807 to 1851, which makes it possible to assess the nature of changes in the panel of provincial judges and to make conclusions about the development of the pre-reform judicial bureaucracy representatives. The analysis of the official lists shows that in the first half of the 19th century the state policy in Western Siberia ensured maintaining and improving the quality of the personnel of provincial courts. Direct appointments partly compensated the shortage of local qualified officials: according to the lists of 1825, 5 out of 10 provincial judges came from the European part of Russia; in 1850, 7 out of 11. Half of the assessors and legal assistants, i.e. junior and senior members of the judiciary board from the lists of 18071814 began their service being in the army and only 7 out of 18 officials previously gained experience of participating in the administration of justice. However, 7 out of 8 former white-collars had a substantial background in crime proceeding. In the course of the local government system reform in 1822, only legal assistants were left in the provincial courts, which increased the number of position's person specifications. Officials who had demonstrated remarkable career achievements were appointed to the bench, 5 out of 8 had previous experience of participating in the administration of justice. In the first quarter of the 19th century, civil servants whose outstanding achievements served as a guarantee of the quality of justice were selected for the positions of chairmen of provincial courts; the significance of their previous experience in the field of justice was irrelevant. In the second quarter of the 19th century, the evolution of the judiciary panel accelerated. In the lists of 1850, only 1 out of 11 judges was a former military man with 15 years' civil service experience. All officials had official awards and commendations. The level of judges' general education in the second quarter of the 19th century objectively grew. Three officials gained experience in administering justice before being appointed to the provincial court. However, the terms of participating in the administration of justice were different: for deputies and presidents of provincial courts it was 2 and 8 years, for legal assistants from 4 to 6.5, in 4 cases more than 14 years and in 2 cases more than 21 years. Those born into families of nobles, civil servants and clergy predominated among provincial judges, making up more than 80% of the lists of 1807-1825 and 1850-1851. The property status of the majority of provincial judges depended on their wage rate.

Концептуально-методичний підхід до оцінювання впливу цифровізації на розвиток бізнесу в національній економіці

The article is aimed at defining the peculiarities of the digitalization process in the business environment of the national economy and formalizing the conceptual-methodical approach to assessing the impact of this process on business development. The article studies the actual scientific and practical issue of the impact of digital transformations on the results of economic activity of the business sector as the main driving force of the national economy. The importance of digitalization and the need to understand its multi-aspectuality and peculiarities of the course in socioeconomic systems of different levels are emphasized. Since the process of digital transformation goes beyond the boundaries of individual economic entities and sectors of the national economy, it is concluded that a full and in-depth analysis of the impact of factors of digital transformations on the development of the business sector should be carried out covering the changes that occur at the micro, meso and macro levels. A conceptual-methodical approach to analyzing the results of digital transformation in the economy with an emphasis on the entrepreneurial sector has been proposed. The approach includes the use of a system of indicators to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the progress of digital transformation at each of the above levels. At the micro level, the state of digitalization of the internal environment of economic entities is studied. At the meso level, digital transformations within industry and cross-sectoral interaction are monitored. At the macro level, national processes in the business sector are studied under the influence of the implementation of the State digital strategy and policy. The important role of the State in promoting digital innovations and stimulating the development of new technologies in favor of the national economy is underlined. It is noted that the implementation of the proposed approach requires the creation of a certain information, analytical, and organizational support.

Predicting Students at Risk of Early Dropping Out from Course Using Ensemble Classification Methods

Many research studies confirmed that the application of machine learning methods for predicting students at risk of academic failure can be beneficial for improving student performance in higher education institutions. Simultaneously, these studies emphasised the importance of the input data quality, its precise pre-processing and thoroughly selected features on final performance metrics of the applied classification algorithms. However, the stand-alone application of well-known classification algorithms still has performance limitations, which can be outperformed using ensembles of classifiers. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the overall contribution of the selected ensemble methods to the early prediction of students at risk of dropping out of learning courses. All phases of CRISP-DM methodology are described in this study to explain the complexity of the problem of the practical adoption of voting-based heterogeneous ensemble methods in the case of data obtained from the course of the university learning management system compared to traditional classification algorithms enhanced by ensemble learning with AdaBoost and XGBoost methods. As a result, the study confirmed that the features which characterise the students’ performance and their interactions in the course can be considered the most significant for the identification of the students at risk of dropping out. Moreover, in the case of advanced ensemble algorithms, the overall accuracy, recall, precision, and f1 score were improved by 2-4%. The proposed method has demonstrated exceptional performance. Finally, the paper summarises the findings and their implications for effective prediction.

The Flipped Classroom Approach via the M-Learning Model: Impact on Student Learning and Motivation

Over the past decade, there has been a growing emphasis on integrating modern technology into educational systems, particularly in the form of new information and communication technologies (NICT), including mobile technologies. Mobile learning (M-Learning) is an advanced form of e-learning that allows learners to access educational materials and knowledge sources through intelligent digital electronic devices in a flexible mobile environment. This study explores the impact of applying the flipped classroom pedagogical approach via the M-Learning model on learners' motivation. To investigate this, an experiment was conducted on a group of 86 learners in the Operating System and Local Area Network course, where M-Learning was adopted as the teaching model. The experimental group was compared with a control group, and the obtained results showed that the experimental group had a significant improvement in learning outcomes and remarkable motivation according to the ARCS model. The findings indicate that the experimental group demonstrated improved learning and remarkable motivation according to the ARCS model. This suggests that incorporating M-Learning into the flipped classroom approach can be an effective way to enhance learners' motivation and engagement in the learning process.

Optimisation of IT teaching materials for students of humanities and social sciences

The demands of the 21st century mean that without digital competence and basic IT skills we cannot thrive in society. This is particularly true for students leaving higher education. Today, it is not only students in engineering and science who need to acquire ICT and IT skills. Although the latest version of the National Curriculum sets the development of digital competences as a task, the previous curriculum did not require students leaving public education to have these competences. For this reason, it is particularly important in higher education in the humanities and social sciences to develop digital competences in addition to IT skills. The paper presents the history of the introduction of IT and computing in higher education, and the process of how these subjects have been replaced in the humanities as well as in technical higher education because of the Bologna process. In addition, it presents the elements of the implementation of an IT course in an LMS system. It presents good practices and tools to increase not only students' knowledge but also their motivation, digital competences and interest in IT content.

Physical Approaches to Prevent and Treat Bacterial Biofilm.

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) presents several clinical challenges. This is in large part due to the formation of biofilm which can make infection eradication exceedingly difficult. Following an extensive literature search, this review surveys a variety of non-pharmacological methods of preventing and/or treating biofilm within the body and how they could be utilized in the treatment of PJI. Special attention has been paid to physical strategies such as heat, light, sound, and electromagnetic energy, and their uses in biofilm treatment. Though these methods are still under study, they offer a potential means to reduce the morbidity and financial burden related to multiple stage revisions and prolonged systemic antibiotic courses that make up the current gold standard in PJI treatment. Given that these options are still in the early stages of development and offer their own strengths and weaknesses, this review offers an assessment of each method, the progress made on each, and allows for comparison of methods with discussion of future challenges to their implementation in a clinical setting.

It does not require any special hardware or software tools except an IDE capable of building C++ applications for the desktop computer. It can be easily modified for different microcontrollers and thus can be useful if existing lessons need to be switched from in-person to distance learning at a short notice.

Theorising sociomateriality in online learning: cutting through the complexity

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need to develop theory and practice in digital education. In this position paper, we expand on the research conducted in information systems (IS) on sociomateriality by applying it to online learning. The aim was to provide a theoretical underpinning for guidelines to reduce the complexity of social and material combinations in digital education. An overview of sociomateriality within IS research is provided, distinguishing between two sociomaterial perspectives to situate the research. A high-level review of student learning as the social and online learning as the material is applied to a four-quadrant model to unbundle the complexities within this space. Our perspectives are supported by feedback from a third-year information systems course that confirmed the merit of the model and broadened research in online learning. The model is further refined with a philosophical underpinning of Ackoff's four pursuits of humankind to provide recommendations for future interventions.
