Abstract

Background. This research is motivated by significant changes in the way students interact and communicate due to the development of digital culture. In the midst of the rapid use of social media and other digital platforms, its influence on the development of students' linguistic identities has not been widely researched. Digital culture has created a new communication space that tends to be informal and different from the language norms in the academic space. Purpose. This study aims to analyze how digital culture affects the development of students' linguistic identities in the context of education. Method. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews involving 200 students from several high schools. The research instrument is designed to uncover the pattern of students' language use in the digital world and its relation to formal language skills. Results. The results showed that most students use informal language, such as slang and slang, more often in cyberspace. This difference causes some students to have difficulty adapting to the formal language used in academic contexts. Although some students have successfully adjusted, there are indications that these changes have impacted the effectiveness of their formal language use. Conclusion. Digital culture affects students' linguistic identities in a complex way. Therefore, a more flexible approach to education is needed to deal with these challenges. Advanced research can explore other factors that influence the development of students' linguistic identities, such as family factors and local culture.

Abstract

In language education, adaptive assessment tools have emerged as valuable resources to address the diverse proficiency levels and learning needs of students. Traditional assessment methods often fail to capture the full range of learners’ skills, limiting personalized feedback and targeted support. Adaptive assessment technologies offer a solution by tailoring test content in real-time based on individual responses, providing a more accurate and dynamic measure of language proficiency. This research aims to review current adaptive assessment technologies in language education, examining their functionalities, benefits, and limitations. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing recent studies and technology reports on various adaptive assessment tools used in language learning. The research focuses on key features such as real-time adaptability, personalized feedback, and skill-specific assessments. The tools reviewed include applications designed for different language skills, such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking, and their effectiveness was evaluated based on learner engagement, accuracy, and pedagogical value. Findings indicate that adaptive assessment tools improve learner motivation and engagement by adjusting the difficulty level to match individual abilities. Additionally, these tools provide more targeted insights for educators, enabling personalized instruction. However, challenges remain, including the high cost of implementation and the need for technical training for educators. These findings highlight the potential of adaptive assessments to enhance language learning but underscore the need for further development to make them more accessible. This review concludes that adaptive assessment tools are transformative in language education, though efforts are needed to address cost and accessibility challenges. Further research should focus on refining these tools and exploring their long-term impact on language proficiency.

Abstract

Meditation has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance cognitive function and promote mental well-being. Previous studies have suggested that meditation can lead to structural changes in the brain, particularly in regions associated with attention, memory, and emotional regulation. However, the precise impact of meditation on brain structure and cognitive function in young adults remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effect of regular meditation practice on brain structure changes and cognitive function in young adults. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess brain changes and cognitive function assessments, such as attention, memory, and executive function tests, conducted before and after a 12-week meditation intervention. The results showed significant increases in gray matter density in areas related to attention and emotional regulation, including the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Cognitive testing revealed improvements in attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. These findings suggest that meditation can induce structural changes in the brain that enhance cognitive function, particularly in domains critical for academic and personal development. The study concludes that meditation can be an effective practice for promoting cognitive health and supporting brain development in young adults, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive intervention for cognitive enhancement.

Abstract

The background of this research focuses on the challenges of investment portfolio optimization, which often requires long computing time and high complexity, especially with many assets that must be analyzed. The use of quantum algorithms for investment optimization promises a faster and more efficient solution. The purpose of this study is to develop a hybrid quantum algorithm that can combine quantum and classical computing methods to improve portfolio optimization performance. The research method used is an experiment by testing a combination of quantum algorithms (such as variational quantum eigensolver, VQE) and classical algorithms to solve portfolio optimization problems using historical market data. The results show that the hybrid quantum algorithm successfully reduces computational time and improves accuracy in choosing the optimal asset combination, by minimizing risk and maximizing portfolio returns. The conclusion of this study is that the hybrid approach has great potential in overcoming the limitations that exist in pure quantum algorithms and can be effectively applied in investment portfolio optimization. Further research is needed to test these algorithms on a larger scale and with more dynamic market data.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with the overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) playing a critical role in its progression. Current therapies face challenges in targeting EGFR effectively. To synthesize and evaluate nanobodies targeting EGFR in colorectal cancer cells, aiming to improve therapeutic specificity and efficacy. Nanobodies were synthesized using phage display technology and screened for high affinity to EGFR. In vitro studies involved colorectal cancer cell lines (HT-29, SW480, HCT116) to assess binding specificity, internalization, and cytotoxicity. In vivo studies used mouse models implanted with human colorectal tumors to evaluate biodistribution, tumor targeting, and therapeutic outcomes. Synthesized nanobodies demonstrated high binding affinity (KD in nanomolar range) and specificity to EGFR, inhibiting cancer cell proliferation by up to 70% and reducing tumor volume by 65% in mouse models. Stability tests confirmed nanobody resilience under various biological conditions. The study highlights the potential of nanobodies targeting EGFR as an effective therapeutic approach for colorectal cancer, with significant improvements in targeting specificity and tumor reduction. Further clinical trials are necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract

The increasing global demand for timber and forest products has raised concerns about unsustainable forest practices, resulting in deforestation, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation. Certification programs, such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), have emerged as tools to promote sustainable forest management (SFM). These certifications aim to ensure that forests are managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. However, the effectiveness of certification in achieving these goals remains a topic of ongoing debate. This research aims to evaluate the role of forest certification programs in promoting sustainable forest management. Specifically, it investigates the impact of certification on forest practices, local communities, and the broader forest industry. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining qualitative interviews with forest managers, certification bodies, and local stakeholders, alongside quantitative analysis of forest management data in certified versus non-certified forests. Data were collected from various regions, including Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe. The findings reveal that certification programs positively influence forest management practices, leading to improved biodiversity conservation, better forest regeneration, and increased stakeholder engagement. However, challenges such as high certification costs, lack of awareness, and insufficient enforcement were identified as barriers to achieving full potential. Certification programs play a significant role in promoting sustainable forest management, though further efforts are needed to address barriers and enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of these programs.
