Abstract : This study aims to find out how artificial intelligence is used in the translation field today. Given the breadth and complexity of the topic, our research will focus on the university environment, as the academic community represents a fertile sample that extensively employs artificial intelligence in various research and scholarly pursuits, problem-solving, and particularly among language students who have found these tools to be invaluable resources. We will examine the various translation outputs of these media, considering that most AI models used for this purpose are fundamentally language models, as indicated by their developers' descriptions. Our methodology involves presenting and comparing translations from various models, analyzing their respective strengths, weaknesses, and limitations. We will also discuss the growing significance of this field and the possibility and the potential that it conveys to meet the demand of a wide category of researchers and students. in addition to that, we will address the probable inconvenient that may arise from excessive reliance on these tools without proper refinement and review of translations. In the present paper will conduct a comparative analytical study to analyze responses and compare different models and their translations. Keywords : artificial intelligence (AI), translation, academic field, language model, output.

The last part of Ben Sira’s reflections on the activities of his contemporary physicians and the medicine of the time contained in Sir 38:1–15 is devoted to the attitude of the medical practitioner when healing the sick person (38:12–15). The pericope has a concentric structure with the attitude of the physicians towards God at its centre (38:13–14). The frame verses are devoted to the attitude of the sick person (38:12) and the sinner (38:15) towards the physician. According to the sage, it is not enough for a suffering person to turn to God alone asking to restore their health (Sir 38:9–11), but they should call on a doctor to help them recover (38:12a). The sick person needs a doctor’s help (38:12b). The Greek text emphasises that one should not be afraid of a doctor because God created them (the Hebrew version omits this argument; see 38:12a). Therefore, physicians are desired by the Lord and, like all creatures, God has also assigned them a specific task. However, physicians cannot rely solely on their knowledge and skills while healing a sick person. They should ask (pray to) God to allow them first to make the correct diagnosis (as explicitly stated in the Hebrew version), and then to heal their patient. The last verse of the pericope (38:15) poses many difficulties, which are reflected in numerous interpretations of its content. According to the analysis made in the article, it does not contain a negative image of a medical practitioner because its main message is the link between the cause of illness and sin (traditional perception of illness expressed in the Old Testament based on the principle of retribution). In Sir 38:12–15, as well as in the entire reflection on the contemporary medicine (38:1–15), Ben Sira made an excellent synthesis between this field of sci­ence and Israel’s faith in the divine Physician.

To date, most studies have focused on IVA through reading, speaking and listening, with few research on the function of translation tasks. This study investigates the effectiveness of different translation tasks on college student L2 IVA and retention. 60 Chinese College students taking English as L2, were divided into 2 parallel groups, finished different translation tasks (L1-L2 and L2-L1) respectively, and then underwent immediate and delayed vocabulary post-tests. The results showed that (1) both translation tasks facilitate learners’ L2 IVA with L1-L2 translation task performing better; (2) L1-L2 translation task generates a higher level of productive vocabulary knowledge; (3) the IVA of both tasks decrease dramatically over time, and the advantage of L1-L2 in promoting higher level of vocabulary knowledge gradually vanishes. The findings enrich the scope of IVA study, verify the value of translation exercise on L2 IVA and provide useful and practical implications for IVA teaching and learning.

The purpose of this paper is to study the application of ChatGPT and BERT models in the field of mechanical engineering. In the context of machine learning, the ChatGPT and BERT models can be applied to various natural language processing tasks such as analyzing technical documentation and building instructions according to a particular version of the documentation, diagnosing malfunctions or customer service. The paper discusses the fundamental features of BERT and ChatGPT models, their origin, and also investigates the main architectural features and identifies the main advantages and disadvantages of the models. The paper analyzes and selects various natural language processing tasks to test the models’ ability to understand natural language in the context of machine learning. The selected criterion tasks are divided into semantic groups to identify the capabilities of ChatGPT and BERT models in each of three areas: logical inference tasks, paraphrasing tasks, and text similarity tasks. The paper also discusses the concept of operational design, which involves developing inputs that guide the models to produce desired outputs. The paper quantitatively analyzes and compares the performance of BERT and ChatGPT based models. The reasons for the bottlenecks of ChatGPT model in natural language understanding tasks are discovered and investigated. Possible improvements of ChatGPT model performance using the mivar approach are considered.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the actual problem of integration of transport system management tasks. The distribution of tasks on three levels of management – strategic, tactical and operational is considered. The purpose of the study is to present the results of structural modeling of transport system management tasks at different levels of management and to identify integrating elements. Structural modeling is carried out and five diagrams are presented, including two contextual ones. The schedule of regular passenger transport has been identified as an integrating element of the tactical level of transport system management. The developed structural diagrams show the feedback between the tactical and operational levels of transport system management. The conclusions and discussion of the results of the study are presented.

The complexity of the subject areas in which intelligent information systems operate is steadily increasing. The tasks set for such systems are increasingly aimed at automating and robotizing spheres of human activity. The solution of such problems requires adaptive and flexible methods capable of taking into account dynamic changes in the environment in real time. The mivar approach to creating intelligent decision-making systems allows working with adaptive discrete structures and provides methods for making management decisions based on adaptive active logical inference based on the knowledge base of mivar rules. The mivar machine of logical inference is the core of expert systems based on the mivar approach. As a result of the historical development of the mivar approach when working on different subject areas, various versions of mivar machines of logical inference with their algorithms for bypassing rules in the knowledge base were obtained. This paper discusses the reasons for the emergence of such options and demonstrates the need to use a parallel algorithm for activating rules in an adaptive network of logical rules when solving problems of action planning in technical systems.

When learners engage in spoken communication, they use language first. Mutual speech cooperation of two (or more) communicants based on dialogue based on the exchange of ideas, increasing consistency in finding a solution to a specific problem. An indepth study of the owners of any form of speech activity and their communicative and pragmatic features is an important gain. The growth of a person and his place in society is directly related to speech communication. The article talks about speech communication and its importance, functions of language, types of dialogue in dialogic speech.

Discussing various kinds of events on social networks is an integral part of everyday life. Users often publish and discuss information about traffic accidents, emergencies, utility accidents, and situations that do not require emergency intervention. Such information can be used to identify situations of a certain type, for example, to create statistics or timely involve certain services to eliminate emergency situations. The paper proposes a way to solve the problem associated with geocoding intersections when processing and analyzing text messages.

The article reviews the article "Usure et dégradation des couleurs chez Zola et Pardo Bazán: des tâches aux marques" by Valeria Tettamanti, that was published in a 2022 issue of the periodical "Francofonia."

The question of the contribution of the literary reading to the mobilization of interactional skills, when carrying out the presentation activity, is treated in this article from a study dealing with the praxeological as well as epistemic dimension. The qualitative analysis, firstly, carried out on the thematic choices of the learners during the realization of their presentation reveals significant clues for the understanding of the content of the presentation activity, then, on that of the tasks undertaken in this oral part of the activity made it possible to find the path followed by the learners to carry out the micro-tasks in the speaking turns. On the one hand, the objective in this study is to detect the thematic choice which is at the origin of the development of interactive exchanges, the increase in the number of communicative sequences and the deployment of the oral comprehension activity, on the other hand to distinguish the model of organization of tasks likely to establish intercomprehension in the class group. The two targeted dimensions made it possible to find the meso-tasks that lead to the realization of the activity of the presentation, even more to distinguish that at the origin of the installation of the intercomprehension. Résumé La question de l’apport de la lecture littéraire sur la mobilisation des compétences interactionnelles, lors de la réalisation de l’activité de l’exposé, est traitée dans cet article à partir d’une étude traitant de la dimension praxéologique ainsi qu’épistémique. L’analyse qualitative, d’abord, portée sut les choix thématiques des apprenants durant la réalisation de leur présentation révèle des indices significatifs pour la compréhension du contenu de l’activité de l’exposé, ensuite, sur celle des tâches entreprises dans cette partie orale de l’activité a permis de retrouver le cheminement suivi par les apprenants pour la réalisation des micro-tâches dans les tours de parole. D’une part, l’objectif dans cette étude est celui de déceler le choix thématique qui est à l’origine du développement des échanges interactifs, de l’augmentation du nombre de séquences communicatives et du déploiement de l'activité de compréhension orale, d’autre part de distinguer le modèle d'organisation des tâches susceptible d’installer l'intercompréhension dans le groupe de classe. Les deux dimensions ciblées ont permis de retrouver les méso-tâches qui conduisent à la réalisation de l’activité de l’exposé, encore plus de distinguer celle à l’origine de l’installation de l’intercompréhension.

Findings from research studies conducted on the informal participation of language learners on participatory websites have motivated language educators and practitioners to consider how opportunities for (inter)action on these sites could be used within the formal framework of language teaching and learning. This article presents a way to transpose these practices into the language classroom using "real-world tasks", i.e. tasks to be carried out on open participative websites within the social interactions that are specific to these websites. It also explores the perceptions of (prospective) language teachers enrolled in a Master’s degree in French as a foreign language (FLE) who were asked to carry out two real-world tasks. The results of a thematic content analysis of the students’ feedback show that they identified more benefits than obstacles. Many of the advantages that research has highlighted in studies on informal participation are also reflected in the students’ perceptions (awareness of the socio-interactional dimension, feeling of usefulness, motivation, etc.). Students also mention a number of challenges, which, in their opinion, are not insurmountable, and emphasize the need for teachers to seek solutions to these and to provide support to learners so that they can tame the digital wilds, which can be quite intimidating.

Physiotherapists working in collaboration with family physicians in French multidisciplinary primary healthcare clinics are now able to manage patients with acute low back pain or ankle sprain as first-contact practitioners in advanced practice roles. This includes medical act delegation such as making a medical diagnosis and prescribing medication. The aim of this study is to explore physiotherapists and family physicians' experience and perceptions regarding this new model of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study evaluated student academic performance on grammar focused tasks in a Spanish L2 flipped classroom compared to a non-flipped classroom. This research included (i) a between-group design, which involved a control group being instructed via a flipped approach and a comparison group learning the same material under a non-flipped model; (ii) and a within-group design with a group of learners combining these two different methodologies during one semester. The research question was assessed through six pre and post-tests. Results in grammar-focused pre and post-tests in the between-group analysis indicated that Spanish L2 learners did not notably improve their target language performance more in the flipped learning approach than in the non-flipped learning format. In fact, findings in the within-group analysis indicated that students performed better in the non-flipped model of instruction.

In recent years, research has highlighted the benefits that various language learners have gained from participating in open and participative websites, particularly with regard to the development of their language competences, especially in additional languages. This raises the question of possible avenues for exploiting the potential of such participation in language teaching and learning. Real world tasks seem to be an interesting prospect, especially as they make it possible to integrate digital citizenship education into language teaching. This research analyses language teachers' perceptions of real-world tasks, particularly in terms of their strengths and limitations for language teaching and learning in general and for digital citizenship education. The study shows that the strengths identified outnumber the limitations, that the main and intrinsic dimensions of real-world tasks are identified and that the limitations feared are mainly linked to the institutional framework and to issues due to insufficient literacy among learners and teachers. As far as digital citizenship is concerned, we note above all a lack of information among teachers and a clear difficulty in bridging the gap between language teaching/learning and education to digital citizenship.

The article discusses the basics of a generally accepted business management system in the construction industry. Business is an integral part of any country’s economy, being its foundation, and successful business requires deep understanding of its system. Needless to say, business systems differ from country to country especially if there is construction planning in the company's projects, and have their own productivity; the present article deals with the generally accepted system with construction elements, dwelling upon such concepts as generally accepted rules of document flow; business principles; transactions; construction design, construction scheduling and execution of site plans; time management; increasing productivity and efficiency of finished products; raising the quality of products; expanding the customer base; improving software technologies; creating new programs tailored to the company’s specifics; increasing profits and minimizing costs; hiring qualified personnel; reducing unforeseen expenses and risks of bankruptcy; computerizing documentation; eliminating failures of software technologies; creating good advertising for the company; monitoring the work of the media, monitoring correct execution of commands among employees and enterprises that provide services and raw materials for production; finding raw materials at the lowest price, even better at cost; managing labor distribution to reduce time and duplication of labor duties; creating innovation centers in the enterprise.

The content of the article is aimed at reducing the economic losses caused by the Aral Sea problem by further improving the specialization of agriculture, based on the potential of the Aral Sea region. At the same time, based on the share of agriculture in GDP, it is aimed at increasing the share of agriculture in economic growth, using the existing conditions wisely. Through the specialization of agriculture, we will be able to overcome the current problems by creating an integrated system that effectively uses the available resources in the country. These insights are based on scientific evidence and statistical observations. The priority of the practical work on the Aral Sea in our country will be to improve the living standards of the population through the efficient use of inefficient land. By building agricultural specialization with modern technologies, we will be able to effectively address important issues in the Aral Sea region. The measures taken in recent years also mean that the Aral Sea issue is one of our priorities at the national level.

The article focuses on food strategies and gender privileges in the Rufiji district of Tanzania, highlighting how issues of food security pervade village economies and how gender roles shape access to resources and labor distribution. It discusses the normative perceptions of "good eating" and the economic divisions of labor, particularly the reliance on women for agricultural and domestic tasks, amidst the broader challenges of economic precarity and gender inequality.

This article explores the Puss in Boots tale metaphorically to describe conversational agents driven by artificial intelligence, in particular chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT. These tools use natural language to simulate human conversations and may prove relevant in academic libraries for tasks such as metadata creation and reference service, as well as the training offer. The study discusses an interactive learning approach to interactivity with these technologies, highlighting both their potential and their limitations, notably their tendency to generate informative "hallucinations" with no basis in reality. The skills required to effectively integrate these tools into the professional practices of academic librarians are discussed, as is the importance of understanding and mastering queries ("prompts") to obtain useful and accurate answers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the article, elements of mythopoetics in Ivan Franko’s great prose of 1887–1893 are explored using the methodology of psychoanalysis. The writer’s projection of prototypes (in Jungian terms) anticipated the discoveries of psychoanalysts in the artistic text, and its precondition was Ivan Franko’s personal interest in the issue of the artist’s unconscious mental activity, as evidenced by his work “Secrets of Poetic Creativity”. The psychoanalytic vector of Franko’s works has been studied to a greater or lesser extent by scholars such as K. Dron, B. Tykholoz, Van Xiaoyui, T. Hundorova, N. Zborovska, R. Pikhmanets, and others. However, as of today, there is essentially no separate study of certain archetypal images and mythologems, like the Great Mother or the twin myth, in the artistic world of Ivan Franko, which is why the novelty and relevance of this article are justified. Despite the fact that the psychoanalytic and mythopoetic aspects of Ivan Franko’s prose have been thoroughly investigated, there remains an obvious interconnection of these aspects on the periphery of scholars’ interests, which, in our opinion, is worthwhile to consider as a poetological synthesis, constituting one of the most interesting characteristics of the writer’s artistic method. It is precisely in this that we see the novelty of the presented research. The purpose of the research is to study the psychoanalytic discourse in the great prose works of Ivan Franko from 1887 to 1993, including various aspects of the twin myth and the archetype of the Great Mother. The following tasks arise from the objective: To analyze the key vectors of the twin myth in the novel “Lel and Polel”; characterize the ambivalent manifestations of the Great Mother archetype in the image of the main heroine in the novel “For the Home Hearth”; identify transformations of Freudian ideas in the artistic structure of the novel “Foundations of Society”, considering their animistic component. The implementation of the set tasks necessitated the use of such methods as receptive-interpretative, psychoanalytic, mythopoetic, hermeneutic, and biographical. The study analyzes the psychoanalytic discourse in Ivan Franko’s great prose from 1887 to 1993, focusing on the diverse aspects of the twin myth and the archetype of the Great Mother. This takes into account the peculiarities of the development of early Ukrainian modernism with its characteristic mythologization of reality, stylistic experiments, and more. In the novel “Lel and Polel”, the dominant theme is the twin myth, through which the principle of the parity and duality of the world is realized. Love for one woman led to the decay, violating the maternal directive to “stick together”. The romantic rivalry between the twins over love for the same woman resulted in the violation of maternal directives, intense psychological experiences, and led to withdrawal from social activities and rejection of the role of enlightener. The novel “For the Home Hearth” is characterized by ambivalent manifestations of the archetype of the Great Mother. The image of the main heroine varies from the Lady of the Heart, Woman-Protectress, to the Terrifying Mother as the “instrument of temptation and vessel of sin”. Antos feels the influence of Anela’s animistic force, thus referring to his wife as “alternately an angel and a demon”. To enhance the sense of fear and the fatal ending, the author introduces the image of a widow carrying the imprint of “mortal anxiety”. The psychoanalytic discourse in Ivan Franko’s novel “Foundations of Society” correlates more with Freudian ideas. The article analyzes the imitation in the exposition of the person’s experiences during a psychoanalytic session with all its characteristic manifestations (“feeling of cold anxiety”, erotic dream, the effect of the film of dreams, a terrifying conversation with a man-“devil”, etc.), as well as hints at the son’s infantilism conditioned by the influence of the mother. It is noted that in the relationship between Olympia and Adas, the animistic component of the archetypal semantics of the Great Mother is manifested: a sense of powerlessness before the mother, admiration for her strong character, leading to a readiness to follow her instructions unquestionably. In his great prose, 1887–1893, the writer emerges as a true psychoanalyst, an expert on the unconscious factors of human mental activity. It seems that Ivan Franko, in modelling the inner world of his characters, to some extent, anticipates the discoveries of psychoanalysts in artistic texts. The modernist reevaluation of mythological and archetypal images, which often lose their integrity, embodying the disharmony between the world and the individual, attests to a new level of poetological synthesis, reflecting one of the most interesting features of the writer’s artistic method.

The paper describes a study on the most common English mistakes among Lithuanians in written tasks on the topic of business and finance. The study was conducted with high school students and university students, and the effectiveness of error feedback in reducing the occurrence of errors was also examined by comparing 2 written texts of each participant. Grammatical errors related to the use of articles and punctuation were found to be the most common types of errors, and feedback on errors was found to be an effective tool in increasing learner motivation and understanding, reducing common errors but not reducing the most common types of errors. The research showed that detailed, personalized feedback can help minimize mistakes in writing assignments, especially if it can be accessed during or in between tasks. However, it is uncertain whether this method will have long-lasting benefits or if improvements are dependent on continual feedback reference. Participants were advised to keep their error feedback forms and utilize teachers’ feedback as a constant guide for improvement. We plan to utilize data on frequently occurring errors to conduct additional research on tackling and enhancing language errors that have become ingrained, employing various strategies. Based on the findings, directions for future research were identified. In the future we intend to carry out a study, using controlled texts with a pre-determined number of errors in diagnostic testing. This would allow us to more precisely analyse learners’ improvements in the use of given structures, through a more extensive research.

Abstract Objective Executive dysfunction after traumatic brain injury may lead to reduced daily functionality due to direct damage to the frontal lobe or to disruption of its connections to other brain regions. This study aimed to compare the performance of adults with and without traumatic brain injury on executive functions tasks. Method The present study had a descriptive transversal design and included 43 participants divided into a clinical group (N = 23, age M = 34.3 [10.86]) and a control group (N = 20, age M = 38.3 [10.7]). The battery consisted of traditional instruments and the Ecological Hotel Task. Results A significant difference was found in the performance of the groups in the planning measures (number of tasks [t = -3.06; p < 0.01] and planning score [t = -3.06; p < 0.01]), highlighting the advantages of using both the traditional performance paradigms and the ecological tasks in neuropsychological assessment of executive functions. Conclusion Results suggested that the ecological task might discriminate better executive dysfunction, emphasizing the importance of using activities that simulate real-life situations of the participants.

In order to assist learners in scientific writing, encompassing genres such as dissertations, theses, and research articles, we developed a digital lexical tool based on a resource of the transdisciplinary scientific lexicon (TSL). This lexicon-genre-specific in scientific discourse-transcends disciplines and serves key discursive functions. The lexical tool, designed for autonomous use, provides semantic, syntactic, phraseological and discursive information about the LST, aiding in its decoding and encoding. An experiment with Chinese-speaking learners assessed the tool’s practicality in written production. The experiment involved scientific writing training, where learners used the tool for writing tasks. The objectives were to test the tool’s usability and to help learners acquire methodological and lexical scientific knowledge. Screen video capture technology recorded tool manipulations to objectively observe interactions between the tasks, learners, and the tool. A questionnaire gathered learners’ assessments of the tool. The analysis of the video captures and questionnaires provides insights into the tool’s integration in the English classroom. This is our result: the effective use of the tool not only depends on the design of a user-friendly interface, but also on the development of learners' lexical knowledge.

Seed libraries contribute to the optimization of library services and resources. They provide users with access to seeds and related information. Their development requires the assistance of the library on three levels: 1. Workforce: for its deployment, a seed library requires collaboration between library departments, between libraries as well as with communities and gardening experts.2. Technology: libraries deploy tools and software to support their tasks as well as to generate statistics on their services for management and demonstration purposes to managers and elected officials.3. Data: libraries apply data management, description and dissemination practices that differ from one library to another depending on the purpose of each seed library.In this article, these three plans will be detailed and analyzed based on a literature review.In this article, these three plans will be detailed and analyzed on the basis of a literature review.

Second language (L2) research suggests that synchronous written corrective feedback (SWCF) in online collaborative writing tasks can help improve L2 linguistic knowledge and writing skills. Following the rise of online collaborative writing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this exploratory study examines L2 learners’ perceptions of receiving SWCF during collaborative writing tasks completed on an online text-editing platform (Google Docs) and mediated by videoconferencing (Zoom). Adult learners (N = 46) enrolled in advanced online French as a Second Language courses took part in two collaborative writing tasks, during which their teachers (N = 3) provided SWCF. Learners’ screen activity was recorded. After the experiment, a perception survey was distributed and selected participants took part in semi-structured interviews to further discuss their experience. Results indicate that learners viewed the provision of SWCF through computer-mediated communication as an effective way to improve their L2 writing compared to traditional, delayed written feedback. Pedagogical implications for the implementation of videoconferences collaborative writing tasks involving teacher SWCF are discussed.

Abstract:Artificial intelligence does not provide solutions to all the problems that journalists may encounter in their work, but like all new technologies and innovations when they are first used, they are attracted by two discourses, one for celebrants and the other for naysayers or fearful. A discourse that derives its legitimacy from daily experiences in newsrooms, as these experiences have confirmed that smart algorithms can help journalists in many tasks such as identifying important topics, highlighting some angles of events that may require press coverage, as well as automating some routine tasks. This enables journalists to devote themselves to other tasks that require a human touch and human creativity. In addition, it can make content available on various digital platforms and increase the number of readers. However, the use of these algorithms may raise some issues related to the breach of individual privacy, the exploitation of personal data, and the generation of biased content and false information. This necessitates that media institutions employ artificial intelligence tools cautiously and adopt strategies that involve everyone in their development, based on qualifying journalists and dispelling these concerns. Keywords: artificial intelligence; algorithms; big data; newsrooms; journalistic practice;

Abstract Objective The present study sought to investigate changes in mood, inhibitory control, and working memory associated with T. gondii infection in a sample of Brazilian women. Method Twenty-eight female participants were equally distributed into two groups, according to the serology for chronic infection by T. gondii. The participants answered a Sociodemographic questionnaire, the CES-D, and performed Simon and N-Back tasks. Results Infected participants presented less accuracy and longer response time in N-Back tasks. No significant differences were found in the Simon task performance or in the depression levels. Conclusion Our findings suggest that chronic infection by T. gondii may result in impaired working memory and point out the importance of public policies aiming at preventing this infection.

Language experiments have a long tradition in the field of dialectology to investigate phonological, lexical and syntactic variation. Methodologically, the repertoire ranges from written test procedures to standardized language production tests and interviews whereby different types of tasks (e. g. translation, picture-naming, evaluation tasks) are used. In order to investigate the variation and perception of morpho(phono)logical phenomena (e. g. the variation of the superlative dat schéinst/dat schéinsten/dat schéinstent Meedchen ‘the most beautiful girl’) in Luxembourgish, I developed a new test procedure, which is based on test procedures and tasks already used in other dialectological and variationist projects (e. g. Syntax Hessischer Dialekte (SyHD), cf. Fleischer/Lenz/Weiß 2015, Sprachvariation in Norddeutschland (SiN); cf. Elmentaler et al. 2015)). The development of a new method was indispensable, since firstly, it must be adapted to the analysis of morpho(phono)logical phenomena that are not linked to regional variation and secondly this test aims to analyse salience and pertinence, two relevant concepts within the scope of language perception and evaluation (cf. Purschke 2011), separately. This paper thus presents an experiment that aims to investigate the perception of morpho(phono)logical variation and its variants in Luxembourgish. The individual test procedures, a salience test, a specific form of scale-based test, a translation task and a supplementary questionnaire are described, contextualized and discussed in detail. The focus also lies on the special design of the test, which is able to ascertain the salience and pertinence of certain variants and to correlate them directly with the production of the variants and the self-evaluation of the individual participants.

The present work aims at showing the didactic potential of the novel Zweinhalb Störche: Roman einer Kindheit in Siebenbürgen, written in 2008 by the German-Romanian author Claudiu M. Florian, for multilingual learning in GFL classes. The paper focuses on the possible use of corpus-based learning tasks and consists of two parts: the first will introduce the main features of multilingual didactics and multilingual competence and the possible teaching approaches of inter- and transcultural literature through the use of corpora; the second will focus on the use of the novel to promote multilingual competence within the GFL classroom. In particular, specific tasks will be suggested to achieve a didactic surplus through the use of corpus compilation and analysis tools such as Sketch Engine.

In industrial settings, autonomous robotic systems have become more common. Companies use autonomous robots to optimise repetitive, time-consuming tasks and improve efficiency. Strategically integrating robots frees up human resources from manual tasks to boost workplace efficiency and productivity. As they pursue Industry 4.0 goals, companies need autonomous robots to meet strict security standards. This depends on preserving confidentiality regarding sensitive information and protecting personnel health and safety. The mobile robot in this experiment aimed to simplify the transportation of standard load carriers, such as plastic boxes used in Kanban storage racks. A controlled lab environment was needed to recreate the robot’s working environment. To streamline delivery, an innovative optical camera and depth vision were added. With this technology configuration, the robot could perform tasks independently. Limiting data retrieval helped the depth camera distinguish conventional boxes. The main project achievement was proving that an autonomous guided vehicle could transport plastic boxes while protecting company data. This method replaced manual part retrieval from secure locations, improving operational efficiency and reinforcing data security.

The relevance of ensuring energy efficiency and environmental compatibility in all sectors of the economy is growing every year. Transport is one of the key factors in the successful development of the global economy, which ensures, among other things, the continuous movement of goods to support global value chains. The methodological basis of the study is represented by the provisions of modern economic theory, logistics, transport systems, management, ecology, and energy efficiency. A number of general scientific and special methods were used to solve the tasks, in particular, methods of formalisation, system and statistical analysis, probability theory, typology, abstract and logical synthesis. As part of the study, an effective mechanism for ensuring energy efficiency and environmental compatibility in the delivery of special categories of cargo was proposed which can be used to most effectively solve the tasks set throughout the supply chain. The proposed mechanism is formed by environmental and energy-efficient tools, a support system, internal and external contradictions to achieve an environmental and energy balance. The toolkit is fully consistent with the public interest, as well as with the goals of Industry 5.0 in ensuring the environmental effect as part of the path to a circular economy, increasing the reliability and sustainability of value chains through the formation of increased responsibility of participants in the process of delivering special cargo, as well as the implementation of the principles of environmental and social management.

In this work, using deep learning technologies as an element of artificial intelligence, various neural network architectures were built that model diseases of strategically important agricultural plants. Modern deep learning optimizers are proposed, and optimization problems for the proposed neural network architectures are studied. The main tasks of agriculture are identified, which today is a key sector for determining economic stability and solving food security. In this work, models for predicting yields based on deep learning are built. The main tasks of agriculture, which today are relevant in the context of climate change, are substantiated. The consequences and causes of the influence of climate change on many large categories of agriculture have been identified. The reasons for the influence of temperature anomalies in summer and winter on plant diseases have been established. The work examines voluminous concepts such as the yield of agricultural crops that lose stability with the rapid spread of various plant diseases, causing millions of losses to farmers and agricultural producers. Methods based on artificial intelligence have been proposed that can prevent the causes and factors of plant diseases. Models created on the basis of neural networks and optimizers are proposed to guarantee the accuracy of models for identifying and early diagnosing plant diseases. In the work, based on models built on the basis of deep learning, plant diseases are predicted using a database of sick and healthy plant images. The accuracy of the models has been established, which can guarantee high-quality prediction of the task. Based on the problem of optimizing neural networks for recognizing plant diseases, a mechanism for applying the selection of optimal parameters and selecting neural network architectures has been developed.
