ICT integration in classroom teaching is one of the challenges that teachers face nowadays. Thus, this study aimed to determine the teachers' professional perspectives on computer technology and their process of integration in classroom teaching. The method used in this study was the descriptive-correlational research design to obtain the data needed specifically using survey questionnaire. Random sampling was used in selecting teachers per school as participants in the study for kindergarten to grade 6 Teachers in West 2 District, Division of Iligan City. Technology Implementation Questionnaire (TIQ) Version II tool was used. It was an adopted and modified instrument and developed by Wozney et al. (2006). Findings revealed that there is no significant difference in the factors affecting the respondent's professional perspective on the use of computer technology in the classroom. The results from regression analysis for the significant relationship between the respondents' professional view and their ICT process integration in terms of instructional, informative, communicative, evaluative, and organizational shows that there is a positive relationship among the variables mentioned except the informative ICT process integration. This implies that the professional perspective of the teachers has a positive influence on their ICT process integration in the classroom. Results showed that all the mentioned demographic profiles are not predictors of their ICT process integration as indicated in their pvalues greater than 0.05 level of significance. The findings suggests that teachers should change their perspective about ICT integration, from traditional way of learning to more interactive learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Computer technology and cyberspace have become an inseparable part of human life today and have affected all aspects of individual and social life. Today, the use of various psychological techniques in the design of products and services based on computer technology is being pursued seriously to gradually and unconsciously influence the behavior and mind of users, and frameworks have been developed in this direction to achieve this goal. This method of developing and designing technical artifacts based on computer technology will entail significant ethical considerations that require in-depth examination and analysis, which is addressed in the present article. Material and Methods: The method of this research is a philosophical analysis based on the use of common theories of moral philosophy and philosophy of technology. Conclusion: The unconscious influence on behavior using computer technology can be criticized from both the perspective of deontology and virtue-based moral perspectives. Even when the purpose of this influence is positive, the damage that is done to the user's autonomy makes these technologies morally reprehensible. In addition, the artifacts produced in this way are not value-neutral and are value-laden. Considering the inclusion of computer technology-based products and services in people's lives and the extent of the use of techniques for influencing behavior, it is necessary to take measures to combat the morally harmful effects of such artifacts. Improving the general literacy of users and also policy-making and regulation in the production of such products are suggested in this regard.

In the current geopolitical situation, the Russian Federation needs a scientifically optimal strategy to achieve a technological sovereignty, which has become a factor of national security. This research relied on newly-declassified archival documents that describe governmental decisions made in the second half of the 1960s on the Ryad computer complex. The research objective was to explain the technological backwardness of the USSR in the field of computer technology. The theory of modernization made it possible to conclude that the Ryad project was slowed down due to poor technical documentation, element base, mathematical support, and allocations, not to mention the insufficient production facilities and slow construction. The project turned out to be much less effective than expected and failed to bridge the technological gap. The Soviet authorities chose to copy American samples at the expense of the domestic R&D. As a result, Soviet computing centers accumulated computers that were based on borrowed technologies, and the domestic computer manufacturing never became a catalyst for structural adjustment. It happened as a result of poor planning and management, as well as the priorities of the contemporary economic policy. The defense and civil sectors had no proper interaction while the immediate interests of ministries dominated over long-term prospects. Soviet enterprises did not invest in modernization, and the government ignored the recommendations of leading scientists.

The relevance of the research is conditioned by the fact that artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly developing and have enormous potential, which can be successfully used for the benefit of humanity, but at the same time they pose many new challenges in conditions of social and ethical and legal uncertainty and pose a number of ethical questions regarding the future way of life of human society and ways, which will be followed by its further development. The article emphasizes that artificial intelligence has the potential to change the future of humanity for the better, however, artificial intelligent systems are inherently not neutral and are characterized by inherent bias, which is due to the initial data used in their “training”. Due to the magnitude of the social consequences of artificial intelligence technologies, many countries are now concerned about the ethical aspects of its use. In order to identify possible scenarios and use the potential of artificial intelligence to realize development opportunities while maintaining risk control, it is important to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the social changes caused by the increasingly expanding use of intelligent systems. It is concluded that the problems of using artificial intelligence must be considered through the prism of analyzing the social essence of a person, modern socio-cultural reality, humanistic goals and values of modern society. Any achievements in the field of artificial intelligence make sense only if they correspond to truly human values. To date, the absence of internationally approved ethical and legal norms and standards related to the application of developments and innovations in the field of artificial intelligence indicates the need for active and focused work of the Russian research community in this area.

Moreover, the authors explore how digital tools and platforms can enhance civic engagement and participation, providing a framework for understanding the dynamics of power and accountability in the digital age. The findings underscore the necessity for political representatives to adapt to technological advancements to foster trust and collaboration with constituents, ultimately contributing to a more informed and engaged society.

Visual Arts (VA) studies traditionally promote creative and critical thinking and have always been open to innovative thinking. Despite the innovative potential of technology and the pedagogical benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Ghanaian VA teachers were hesitant, cautious and distrustful toward integrating ICT into their teaching instruction. This article aims to identify the reasons for Ghanaian teachers' negative attitudes, discuss their rationale from a comparative viewpoint, and suggest solutions based on the original study's findings. The data were collected purposively and categorised and assessed using the qualitative method. It is recommended that a training programme be implemented through relevant seminars and open debates to encourage a more positive attitude towards ICT. The findings show that VA teachers can ensure successful ICT integration in their classes as the primary decision-makers and implementers in education. This research was based on analysing interviews, observation notes and photographic and drawing material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Aiming at the practical teaching of intelligent manufacturing majors faced with lack of equipment, tense teachers and other problems such as high equipment investment, high material loss, high teaching risk, difficult to implement internship, difficult to observe production, difficult to reproduce the results, and so on, we take the electrical automation technology, mechatronics technology and industrial robotics technology majors of intelligent manufacturing majors as an example, and design and establish a virtual simulation teaching platform for intelligent manufacturing majors by using the cloud computing platform, edge computing technology, and terminal equipment synergy. The platform includes six major virtual simulation modules, including virtual simulation of electrician electronics and PLC control, virtual and real combination of typical production lines of intelligent manufacturing, dual-axis collaborative robotics workstation, digital twin simulation, virtual disassembly of industrial robots, virtual simulation of magnetic yoke axis flexible production line. The platform covers the virtual simulation teaching content of basic principle experiments, advanced application experiments, and advanced integration experiments in intelligent manufacturing majors. In order to test the effectiveness of this virtual simulation platform for practical teaching in engineering, this paper organizes a teaching practice activity involving 246 students from two parallel classes of three different majors. Through a one-year teaching application, we analyzed the data on the grades of 7 core courses involved in three majors in one academic year, the proportion of participation in competitions and innovative activities, the number of awards and certificates of professional qualifications, and the subjective questionnaires of the testers. The analysis shows that the learners who adopt the virtual simulation teaching platform proposed in this paper for practical teaching are better than the learners under the traditional teaching method in terms of academic performance, proportion of participation in competitions and innovative activities, and proportion of awards and certificates by more than 13%, 37%, 36%, 27% and 22%, respectively. Therefore, the virtual simulation teaching platform of intelligent manufacturing established in this paper has obvious superiority in solving the problem of "three highs and three difficulties" existing in the practical teaching of engineering, and according to the questionnaire feedback from the testers, the platform can effectively alleviate the shortage of practical training equipment, stimulate the interest in learning, and help to broaden and improve the knowledge system of the learners.

Introduction. The main attention is paid to the need to take into account estimates of rounding errors when solving problems of transcomputational complexity. Among such tasks, one can highlight the tasks of calculating systems of linear algebraic equations with the number of unknowns in the tens of millions, digital signal processing, calculating nuclear reactors, modeling physical and chemical processes, aerodynamics, information protection, etc. Ignoring the rounding error when solving them leads to the fact that sometimes we obtain computer solutions that do not correspond to the physical content of the problem. The purpose of the article. It is shown how, using estimates of rounding errors, to build computational algorithms resistant to rounding errors. At the same time, the following are taken into account: the rounding rule, the calculation mode, the quality of rounding error estimates (non-improving estimate, asymptotic estimate, imputed estimate). If computing resources are available, it is advisable to use asymptotic and probabilistic estimates as they are more accurate compared to majorant estimates. The results. It is shown how the estimates of rounding errors are used in modern computer technologies to obtain ε-solution of the following problems of applied mathematics: – calculation of integrals from fast oscillating functions; – solving problems of digital signal processing; – calculating the discrete Fourier transform; – multi-bit arithmetic; – computer steganography. The greatest attention is paid to T-effective algorithms for calculating the discrete Fourier transform and solving the problems of spectral and correlation analysis of random processes. These classes of problems are included as components in solving problems of two-key cryptography and computer steganography. Conclusions. The importance of taking into account estimates of rounding errors in modern computer technologies for solving a number of classes of computational and applied mathematics problems is shown.

By focusing on the psychological needs of consumers, e-commerce can achieve high-quality development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to improve the comprehensive ability evaluation effect of students majoring in preschool education, this paper combines computer technology to evaluate the comprehensive ability of students majoring in preschool education. Through linearization, this paper deduces the state space model of data load of students' comprehensive ability and the transfer function model of student's comprehensive ability data load. Moreover, this paper establishes an analytical expression between the model coefficients of the transfer function of student's comprehensive ability data load and the transfer parameters of student's comprehensive ability data load. In addition, this paper analyzes and selects the identification method of the parameters of students' comprehensive ability data load model. Since the parameters of the student comprehensive ability data load model have physical meanings, the parameter identification of the student comprehensive ability data load model is a gray box identification, and constraints are required when identifying the parameters of the student comprehensive ability data load model. The experimental study has verified that the comprehensive ability evaluation model of students majoring in preschool education based on computer technology can play an important role in the comprehensive ability evaluation of students majoring in preschool education. This article adopts the comprehensive load model in the Comprehensive Stability Calculation Program (PSASP) to eliminate the shortcomings of factor analysis in traditional teaching comprehensive evaluation, and has a certain reference value for the promotion of intelligent teaching in the future.

The era of big data has arrived in society, and the technology behind com-puter networks has not only raised the general level of people's living stand-ards but is also making steady headway in the direction of artificial intelli-gence. The most important theoretical basis for it is mathematics. The pro-cess of abstracting and synthesizing the laws of reality through the use of mathematical techniques is known as mathematical modeling. The applica-tion of mathematical modeling in the natural sciences seeks to approach a problem with more precision by employing mathematical rigor and a mathe-matical language that is systematically complete. At this point in time, the progression of mathematical modeling just can't happen without the assis-tance of advances in computer technology. The significance of computer technology in mathematical modeling is demonstrated by a detailed examina-tion of the formula underlying the computer technology model. After con-ducting research on the results of the mathematical modeling competition held over the course of several years, utilizing the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to analyze the data, and coming to the conclusion that the implementation of computer technology plays a role in the dissemination of mathematical modeling, we say that computer technology has a part to play in the dissemination of mathematical modeling.

Landscape design has a long history, from ancient royal gardens to modern urban parks, and its design concepts and techniques are constantly evolving. Nowadays, with the improvement of people's environmental requirements, landscape design is also constantly innovating. Although the landscape has made great progress, in actual operation, there are problems such as communication barriers with customers, difficulty in design implementation, and inability to preview the design effect in real time. Computer augmented reality technology has begun to play an important role in landscape design. Augmented Reality (AR) overlays the virtual 3D model into the real scene, previews the effect of design implementation in real time, carries out data analysis and optimization, and improves the design better to meet the needs of the public. In order to scientifically evaluate the effect of computer augmented reality technology in landscape design, this paper sets two main indicators: efficiency and quality. Efficiency is primarily concerned with the speed difference compared to traditional design methods. By means of comparative experiments, the time required to use augmented reality technology is calculated. Quality is mainly based on user feedback and expert review. Through users' actual experience of landscape design under augmented reality technology, their feedback is collected, and combined with professional review, the performance of augmented reality technology in design quality is comprehensively evaluated. This paper investigates the evaluation results of people in four landscapes (green plants, pavilions, ancient buildings, fountains). The survey results show that the fountain design quality is 80 points, the efficiency score is consistent with the pavilion, the feasibility score exceeds 80 points (82), and the user satisfaction is 5 points higher than the pavilion design.

Introduction. The assessments of a number of well-known economists and historians regarding the scientific and technical policy implemented in the 1950s are directly opposite. Some authors assess this period as a genuine rise, others argue that already in the 1950s the inability of the country to overcome the scientific and technical gap with the leading Western countries was obvious. The relevance of the publication is determined by the need to accumulate positive historical experience in order to gain technological sovereignty. The purpose of the study is to analyze the messages sent to the country leadership by representatives of the Soviet scientific elite and heads of individual departments, reflecting the state of computer technology in the USSR by the mid-1950s. The novelty of the publication consists in studying on the basis of documents introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, which allow deeper and more reliable investigation of the problem of the evolution of state policy in the field of computer technology development in the 1950s. Materials and Methods. The study is based on the analysis of previously classified documents that have now become available, including memos sent to the Central Committee of the CPSU, reports of leading scientists, officials responsible for the scientific and technical development of the country, etc. The methodological basis of the research was the theory of modernization. Analysis. The studied documents contain highly significant data on the state of computer technology development and reflect the authors’ wish to convince the leaders of the country to change the priorities, forms of organization of research activities, and overcome the formal approach. Results. The study concludes that leading experts had an extremely negative assessment of the state of affairs in this area. As arguments that the leadership of the country was able to evaluate, data on the situation in the United States in this area were given. An increasing backlog was predicted in case of rejection of measures.

The relevance of the study is determined by the critical importance for the Russian Federation in complex geopolitical conditions of the need to make a technological leap and ensure sovereignty, as well as the significance of studying Soviet experience in the implementation of state scientific, technical, and industrial policies. Based on declassified archival documents, issues related to the evolution of state policy in the development and production of computer technology in the late 1960s are examined. The novelty of the research lies in identifying the main trends and factors that led to both the USSR’s lag behind leading countries in this field and attempts to implement mechanisms to overcome it. A significant number of previously unpublished documents are introduced into scholarly circulation, including appeals from representatives of the scientific community to the central authorities highlighting the alarming situation. It is proven that these reports played a significant role in changing the government’s course regarding computer technology development, influencing decision-making speed and the choice of a previously tested mechanism for overcoming technological lag — borrowing. A conclusion is formulated that many recommendations from the scientific community representatives were ignored by the authorities. A departmental approach played a significant role. The decision made had far-reaching and generally negative consequences.

This study examines the critical intersection of global climate change and increasing water scarcity, with a particular focus on developing optimized irrigation practices for cotton production in the Andijan region. Using the CropWat software, guided by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) methodology, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of local soil and hydrogeological conditions to formulate evidence-based irrigation strategies. The results show that seasonal irrigation requirements for cotton vary significantly across hydromodular regions, ranging from 3000 m³/ha in the dry season (IX) to 5900 m³/ha in the rainy season (I). Moreover, our findings highlight the importance of adapting irrigation practices to regional climate and soil characteristics to improve water use efficiency. By implementing these evidence-based irrigation regimes, we aim to not only improve cotton yields but also contribute to sustainable water management practices in the context of a rapidly changing climate. This study highlights the need for adaptive agricultural practices and provides a basis for further research on irrigation optimization, ultimately supporting agricultural sustainability and food security in water-stressed regions. Future research will also examine the integration of alternative irrigation technologies and their potential impact on optimizing water use in cotton production.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the development of computer digital technologies, to determine their impact on the global music industry in the late XX - early XXI century. The research methodology includes scientific methods (source, historical, generalising) and comparative analysis techniques for disclosure. The scientific novelty of the work lies in a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of digital technologies in the music industry of the period under study. In addition, the main advantages and disadvantages of digitalisation of the music industry were outlined, and the main areas of use of digital technologies were identified. Conclusions. In late XX and early XXI centuries, digital technologies underwent significant changes. These changes included the emergence of personal computers and specialised music software, the emergence of MIDI as a standard for tools and software used in music creation and editing, and the growing popularity of electronic music. In addition, an important aspect of these changes is the widespread use of the Internet, which has become the main means of distributing music through specialised platforms and promoting musicians. At the same time, the use of artificial intelligence is becoming more promising. In general, digital technologies in the music industry during the period under review have numerous advantages for the development of the industry, but also pose challenges. For example, the widespread use of pirated music file sharing services is a serious problem. Digital technologies in the music industry will continue to develop rapidly in the future, but negative aspects may hamper their full potential. Therefore, it is important to effectively combat the existing threats, which will contribute to the proper development of the industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the study is to assess the risks of economic modernization caused by technological sanctions. Hypothesis: the imposed sanctions had little effect on actual imports of computer hardware components to Russia. Since the sanctions under consideration have been tightened since 2014, it was assumed that there were no fundamental changes in the structure and volume of imports. Analysis of the US export control system showed that there are four reasons for controlling the export to the Russian Federation of a number of computers and their components. For export to the Russian Federation and Belarus all applications for licenses are considered with a presumption of denial. The embargo policy provides for the restriction of exports to Russia of goods of headings 8541 (semiconductor devices) and 8542 (electronic integrated circuits). Enterprises that are considered military end users are restricted from exporting to them chips with high processing speed. The embargo covers quantum computers that are believed not to be manufactured in Russia. The dominant subheadings in the import structure are 8542 31 (microprocessors) and 8542 39 (other integrated circuits). Clusters of exporting countries have been constructed using the methods of principal components and multidimensional scaling. It is established that the main ones are China, Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia. Next, an analysis of the dynamics of imports was performed to test the hypothesis. Graphical, quantitative methods of the theory of time series, methods of mathematical statistics and regression analysis are used. For countries without export controls the increase in imports to Russia over 15 years, both in terms of processors (160 %) and integrated circuits (224 %), was an order of magnitude greater than for countries with export controls. As the share of imports from countries without export controls increases, the significance of sanctions decreases, which confirms the formulated hypothesis. At the same time, the “foreign direct product” rule, which allows the US to control exports from Taiwan, could negatively affect this dynamic.

This article explores the use of mental health apps and digital therapeutics in behavioral health treatment. It acknowledges the convenience and accessibility of these apps, but also raises concerns about their effectiveness and the lack of research supporting their use. The authors present different perspectives on the role of digital therapeutics, with one urging caution and more research, while the other argues that they can help address gaps in care for less severe issues. The article emphasizes the importance of rigorous development, empirical evaluation, and evidence-based implementation of mental health apps. It also discusses the potential for these apps to disrupt the current mental health service delivery system, but highlights the challenges they face, including objections from clinicians, lack of high-quality evidence, and reimbursement issues. Despite these challenges, the article suggests that digital therapeutics have the potential to expand access to behavioral health care and improve outcomes, but emphasizes the need for rigorous research, safety measures, and clinician involvement in testing and implementing these technologies.
