Author(s): İbrahim Hörküç / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 30/2023

Development of information and communication technologies, particularly the advancement of the internet and web technologies, has facilitated students' access to information and enriched their learning experiences. However, as the need for accessing accurate information increases within the vast sea of knowledge, web technologies are also evolving to serve this purpose. Web 3.0 technology, also known as the semantic web, makes information meaningful, enabling users to access information more effectively. The use of semantic web in education has the potential to make learning experiences more flexible, personalized, and effective. However, there are also challenges associated with the use of semantic web in education. Security concerns, costs, standardization, and pedagogical issues may limit the widespread adoption of semantic web.

ТЕХНОЛОГІЧНА ДИВЕРСИФІКАЦІЯ МУЗИЧНОЇ ОСВІТИ: ПОГЛЯДИ СУЧАСНИХ ЗАРУБІЖНИХ ДОСЛІДНИКІВ

Author(s): Olesya Neboga / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2023

The purpose of the article is to trace the main changes in modern scientific research of music education, taking into account its technological and informational diversification. The research methodology involves the complex use of a number of methods and approaches integrated from art history, pedagogy, informatics, and other sciences. General scientific research methods are also used, in particular analysis, synthesis, system, and generalisation. Methods of processing textual information, bibliographic method and content analysis of scientific information resources are significant. The scientific novelty consists in drawing attention to the reorientation of music education research as an important component model of the modern concept of intellectual education in an interdisciplinary direction based on technological developments. Conclusions. Traditional music education is gradually giving way to various new types of learning involving information technologies – digital devices, computer games, virtual reality, various simulations and network learning platforms, artificial intelligence, automatic control systems, and applications. Thus, the latest technologies break the traditional model of music education, contribute to its development and expand human opportunities for acquiring quality knowledge. In addition, the involvement of the latest technologies in the learning process requires changes not only in the content, methods, and process of learning, but also in the very theory of music education. In general, all these processes improve the quality of music education and ensure its sustainable development within the latest progressive concepts. Therefore, it is not surprising that based on the analysis of a number of foreign publications of modern researchers the following conclusion can be drawn: most of the research on music education is aimed to understand how to combine traditional learning with modern technological achievements, in particular, informational ones. This, in particular, refers to the understanding of the need to conceptualise a number of concepts of modern music education along the lines of interdisciplinary research traditions, including those mediated by the significant influence of informational and technical disciplines.

Книжнината на българите католици в христоматия: предизвикателства на лингводидактиката и културологията

Author(s): Magdalena Abadzhieva,Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2023

The article outlines the scope and methodological principles for the compilation of a Chrestomathy with samples of the literature of the Bulgarian Catholics in the period XVII – XXI centuries. Its significant representatives from diachrony to synchrony are summarized. The project of the Chrestomathy aims at delineating the cultural identity of the marginal group of Banat Bulgarians as part of a much larger and long-standing tradition. Such a product of linguodidactics and literary history would be useful not only for Bulgarian studies, but also for the typological study of foreign linguistic and literary influences on the Bulgarian Catholic community in Bulgaria and abroad, for the interlanguage contacts of Bulgarian with Latin, Italian, Croatian, Romanian, Hungarian language.

University business incubators and opportunities for collaboration with companies within the start-up 2

Author(s): Saken Kazhenov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Business incubators based on the university mainly target social impact by creating opportunities for job creation, and profit is not the primary objective. However, companies are doing business, and there should be strong reasons to attract them in collaboration with the university. This paper aims to find the possibilities for collaboration between university business incubators and companies. To achieve this purpose, we used the data from scientific articles. The review is based on the content analysis of the relevant papers in the three-level approach (individual, organisational and institutional). Similar to other entrepreneurship-supporting organisations, university business incubators connect start-ups with mature companies or industry leaders to allow faster growth for new ventures. This research illustrates that the most significant types of collaboration for all three levels (individual, organisational and institutional) are mentorship and networking. The suggestions of this paper give an overview of the incubation process to entrepreneurship researchers.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON MEDICAL HUMANITIES – EMPOWERING STUDENTS IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Author(s): Laura Ioana Leon / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2021

Medical Humanities are a topic of interest for Romanian medical students today. The role of the ESP teacher has been constantly challenged in the last two decades or more, once issues such as globalization and the development of technology have started to influence every field of our activities. Likewise, the pandemic has also come with its challenges that also needed to be taken into consideration as the teaching activity has been carried out, since then, mainly in the online medium. This paper is going to address some of the changes that have been implemented in the ESP classes at the “Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Iasi, Romania, in the attempt to respond to the present-day needs of our students who, along with their linguistic training, have to develop interdisciplinary skills that are so much needed in their future profession. Empathy, communication skills, good observation skills can be developed by means of activities that are part of the vast domain of the medical humanities. Likewise, the paper is going to discuss some of the problems we are facing since we have started to work online, mainly focusing on the idea of keeping students’ interest in the online classes that may no longer have the same impact as the face to face interaction.

LE FRANÇAIS SUR OBJECTIF UNIVERSITAIRE: BESOINS ET CONTRAINTES

Author(s): Andreea Petre / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

French for university purposes (FOU) is increasingly attracting the interest of French-language teachers. FOU is part of the French for Specific Objective (FOS) approach, the essential dimension of which is the use of the language in a professional context. The FOU is intended for students of all disciplines, required to do part of their studies in the French language. It is a context that prompts the teacher to develop skills in analyzing university situations on several levels: institutional and cultural, collecting field data and proposing didactic materials to develop university competence. The establishment of such a device may encounter logistical and pedagogical difficulties but, at the same time, the students' interest in French university life represents a challenge and a boost for the teacher who must give the French for university purposes the chance to succeed.

Scenarios to Use Sensors in Agriculture, Home, Office, Well-Being

Author(s): Rossitza Goleva,Vasil Kadrev,Alexandar Savov,Zhivka Koleva,Plamen Draganov,Svetoslav Mihaylov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Recent sensor technologies allow monitoring of many events locally and remotely in near-real-time. Whereas being at home, working in the garden, entering office, walking or travelling one could access the data from previously installed sensors and take decisions. Technologies are often considered as an additional burden by many people. However, young generations do prefer to control their environment and be capable to manage it using electronic devices. In this paper we propose different scenarios that allow us to consolidate different sensors within a single application and control the user environment locally or remotely through mobile devices. The sensors experimented have been installed in a house, in an office, in a garden, carried by a person. Different sensor technologies have been implemented and data is shared in an understandable format for the application and the users.

Cryptocurrencies present a novel medium of exchange that enables secure financial transactions without a central clearing authority. Billions of dollars are traded on the cryptocurrency market, contributing to the increased importance of cryptocurrencies within the global financial system. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and influenced by different social media and other media outlets. This study aims to investigate media influence, assessing the degree and nature of influence. We analyze historical cryptocurrency prices and utilize an NLP model to extract sentiments from the data obtained by social media and other media outlets. We use Time Series Forecasting and Explainable AI models to depict best the influence of media outlets over the cryptocurrency market. We compare the results for the different social media and other media outlets and present the findings that can be used in future research and cryptocurrency price forecasting.

CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION AT ACADEMIC LEVELS DURING PANDEMIC TIMES

Author(s): Suzana Carmen Cismas / Language(s): English Issue: 29/2022

Citizenship education holds an important place in academic education; it should be cultivated and enforced in any democratic context. Europe is currently facing significant challenges. Socio-economic problems, violence, extremism and lack of trust in democratic processes are among the greatest threats to peace, democracy, freedom and tolerance. Education and training can help counter such menace by fostering mutual respect and promoting fundamental values; citizenship education has a special part to play in this regard and, across Europe, there are high expectations from it. Citizenship education is a fluid concept since the understanding of its essence and aims varies among countries and changes over time. In pandemic times this type of education was limited by online mediated contacts and theory prevailed over practice; hence face-to face and group-work activities are required for catching up with the remaining tasks.

LUDIC ACTIVITIES IN TEACHING SPECIALISED VOCABULARY TO POLICE ACADEMY STUDENTS

Author(s): Anemona Niculescu / Language(s): English Issue: 31/2022

The present study shows that ludic activities are far from inappropriate for adult students (in this case those of the Police Academy), on the contrary, they facilitate the vocabulary learning effort and make the subject of study more attractive. The author has found out that, at any age, ludic activities are a psychological tool, a precious instrument for the teacher, and should be used as often as possible, without risking to make the study subject become frivolous or childish. This study proposes various types of didactic lexical games, with concrete examples. Learning without realising the effort to do it is the hidden purpose of such activities. I would like to express grateful acknowledgements to Professor Ileana Chersan, for the precious examples I have found in her very useful book on the matter.
