COGNITIVE ACTIVISM: THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND IMPLEMENTATION PERSPECTIVES IN PRESCHOOL AGE: 10.24250/jpe/2/2025/VP/
No full textThe article aims to analyze the phenomenon of cognitiveactivism as an essential dimension of personalitydevelopment in preschool-aged children. The work is notexhaustive; rather, it seeks to highlight those aspects ofmajor interest that define the specific process of formingcognitive activism during the early stages of humandevelopment. The essence of the scientific approach isdefined through the notion of activism/cognitive activism,interpreted from both philosophical and psychopedagogicalperspectives, as an approach updated inrelation to contemporary social transformations and theeducational demands of the developing generation. Thetheoretical exploration of the concept of cognitive activismprovides the possibility of outlining analytical directionsthat integrate the essential characteristics of olderpreschool age. Based on a synthesis of existing research,the main factors of cognitive activism, as well as its stagesof formation—which describe the gradual development ofcognitive manifestations in children—are examined. At thesame time, the article emphasizes that the theoreticalgrounding of the concept of cognitive activism can providevaluable reference points for understanding and fosteringactive cognitive behavior in preschool-aged children
INVESTIGATION OF INTERNET ADDICTION AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: 10.24250/jpe/1/2025/ROI/RAR/KAA/
No full textThe study investigated internet addiction and interpersonalrelationship among undergraduates’ students in Nigeria. Fourresearch questions guided the study. The study employeddescriptive research design. The population consisted ofundergraduate students of Osun State university. Stratified andsimple random sampling was used to select 200 respondentsacross nine (9) departments in two colleges. An adaptedquestionnaire from Internet Addiction Test (IAT) andInterpersonal Solidarity Scale (ISS) was employed for the study.The results of the findings indicated that internet addiction ismoderate among undergraduates. The result also showed age,level, course and religion do not significantly influence internetaddiction of undergraduates. However, gender significantlyinfluences internet addiction. The result also indicated thatpersonal relations, interpersonal relationship, means of surfingthe internet and place of residence does not significantly predictstudents’ internet addiction. Finally, the result concluded that,the more undergraduates become addicted to the internet, thelesser the level of interpersonal relationship. It is thusrecommended that, internet addiction awareness should becreated among undergraduates in Osun State University throughseminars, workshops among others
HOW READY IS NIGERIA FOR 2030? EXPLORING AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SDGS AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN ISEYIN, OYO STATE: 10.24250/jpe/si/2025/AMA/
No full textThis study investigates the awareness and knowledge of theSustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among secondaryschool teachers in Iseyin Local Government Area of OyoState, Nigeria. Grounded in the global 2030 Agenda forSustainable Development, the research adopts adescriptive survey design to evaluate how well-equippedteachers are to integrate sustainability concepts intoclassroom instruction. A total of 100 teachers from tenpublic secondary schools were selected using stratified andsimple random sampling techniques. Data were collectedthrough a structured questionnaire and analyzed usingfrequency counts, mean scores, and standard deviations.Findings reveal that while teachers demonstrate arelatively high level of general awareness of the SDGs,gaps remain in their practical knowledge and exposure toSDG-related training and resources. The studyunderscores the need for targeted professionaldevelopment, curriculum enhancement, and policy supportto strengthen sustainability education at the grassrootslevel. Implications for educational stakeholders and futureresearch are discussed
Sensitivity Investigation of Fault Tree Analysis with Matrix-Algebraic Method
Full text linkThe Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a systematic, deductive (top-down type) and probabilistic risk assessment tool which shows the causalrelations leading to a given undesired event, referred to as the ”Top Event” (TE). The events, which cannot be subdivided, are called the BasicEvents. Fault Tree diagram displays the undesired state of the investigated system (top event) in terms of the states of its components (basic events).The Fault Tree Analysis is a graphical design technique main result of which is a tree, a dendritic graph. Probabilistic Fault Tree Analysis (PFTA) isa quantitative analysis method used to calculate the probability of Top Event from given failure probabilities of system components. The objectiveof the sensitivity analysis is to show how the change in any system parameter influences the resultant reliability value of the whole system.The main aim of this study is to elaborate an easy-used algorithm for setting-up of Linear Fault Tree Sensitivity Model (LFTSM). Thismodular approach process uses matrix-algebraic method based upon the mathematical diagnostic modeling of aircraft systems and gas turbineengines. The paper shows the adaptation of linear mathematical diagnostic modeling methodology for setting-up of LFTSM and its possibility ofuse to investigate Fault Tree sensitivity by a demonstrative example
Univalence Conditions for a New Integral Operator
Full text linkIn this paper, we study the univalence conditions for a new integral operator defined by Al-Oboudi dierential operator. Manyknown univalence conditions are written to prove our main results
Symmetry, Hierarchy, Analogy Versus Embedded Systems
Full text linkIntelligence = Consciousness x Adaptability x Intention and Faith = Intuition x Inspiration x Imagination, are the complementaryparts of the human mind; the link between is Conscience = Consciousness x Inspiration. Simulation is the relation betweenfunction and structure. Conscience simulation demands transcending from computability to simulability, by an intensive effort onextensive research to integrate essential mathematical and physical knowledge guided by philosophical goals. A way to begin ishierarchical simulation. Coexistent interdependent hierarchical types structure the universe of models for complex systems. Theybelong to different types of hierarchy. Symmetry between simulation and theory can model the conscience (Fig. 1)
On H–Dichotomy for Skew-Evolution Semiflows in Banach Spaces
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to define and characterize a particular case of dichotomy for skew-evolution semiflows, called theH–dichotomy, as a useful tool in describing the behaviors for the solutions of evolution equations that describe phenomena fromengineering or economics. The paper emphasizes also other asymptotic properties, as w–growth and w–decay, H–stability andH–instability, as well as the classic concept of exponential dichotomy
Second Order (Phi, Psi, rho, eta, theta)-Invexity Frameworks and epsilon-Efficiency Conditions for Multiobjective Fractional Programming
No full textA generalized framework for a class of second order (Phi, Psi, rho, eta, theta)-invexities is developed, and then some parametricsucient eciency conditions for multiobjective fractional programming problems are established. The obtainedresults generalize and unify a wider range of investigations in the literature on applications to other results onmultiobjective fractional programming
Refined Estimates for the Equivalence Between Ditzian-Totik Moduli of Smoothness and K-Functionals
Full text linkThe aim of this note is to study the magnitude of the constants in the equivalence between the first and secondorder Ditzian-Totik moduli of smoothness and related K-functionals. Applications to some classic approximationoperators are given
Fence-like Quasi-periodic Texture Detection in Images
Full text linkThe focus of this article is on automatic detection of fence or wire mesh (a form of quasi-periodic texture) inimages through frequency domain analysis. Textures can be broadly classified in to two general classes: quasiperiodicand random. For example, a fence has a repetitive geometric pattern, which can be classified as a quasiperiodictexture. Quasi-periodic textures can be easily detected in the frequency spectrum of an image as they resultin peaks in the frequency spectrum. This article explores a novel way of de-fencing viewed as a quasi-periodic texturesegmentation by filtering in frequency domain to segregate the fence from the background. A resulting de-fencedimage is followed by support vector machine classification. An interesting application of the proposed approach isthe removal of occluding structures such as fence or wire mesh in animal enclosure photography
