MAXIMIZING LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: PERSONAL STUDY VS. COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

This article explores the comparative efficacy of individual self-directed study and collaborative group learning environments in English Language Teaching (ELT), evaluating how each modality influences linguistic progress, cognitive development, and communicative competence. Sel...

Multi-Year Characterisation of Drought Adaptation and Grain Quality in Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat Genotypes

This study was conducted to evaluate yield components, biochemical traits, and drought tolerance in 66 synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) genotypes and standard cultivar Karahan. The experiment was conducted over three growing seasons at the Absheron Scientific Research Base of the...

Residual sequential attention and class-imbalance learning for multi-class peripheral blood cell classification

Abstract Peripheral blood cell classification is challenging when severe class imbalance coincides with fine visual differences among maturation stages and morphologically related cell types. This study investigates a residual sequential attention framework built on ResNeSt50 and...

THE INTEGRATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES INTO MUSIC EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVES

This study explores the integration of digital technologies into music education and examines their potential to improve the quality and effectiveness of the learning process. Particular attention is given to the use of digital tools for interactive learning, musical creativity,...

DEVELOPMENT OF BREATHING, ARTICULATION, AND DICTION SKILLS IN CHORAL SINGING

Breathing, articulation, and diction are fundamental components of effective choral singing and play an important role in achieving vocal clarity, musical expressiveness, and ensemble cohesion. In choral education, the development of these skills requires systematic and continuou...

β-carotene enhances drought tolerance in fenugreek by modulating antioxidant defense and redox homeostasis

Drought stress is one of the main abiotic factors that modulates the morphology and physiology of crops. This study investigated the effect of foliar application of β-carotene on the growth, physiological, and biochemical responses of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) unde...

Determinants of CO2 Emissions in Azerbaijan’s Manufacturing and Construction Sectors: The Roles of Energy Intensity, Output, and Investment (ARDL–ECM with Structural Breaks)

This study investigates the determinants of CO2 emissions in Azerbaijan’s manufacturing and construction sector (MC), focusing on the roles of energy intensity, output scale, and investment. Using annual time-series data for the period 2007–2023, we apply the ARDL-ECM model, whic...

Multivariate characterization of foliar morpho-anatomical traits supporting adaptive trends and taxonomic resolution in halophytic grasses

Leaf morphology and epidermal traits of 15 salt-tolerant grasses belonging to 10 genera from the Bahadur Khel Salt Range were examined using a microscopic technique for the first time. Eight qualitative characters (epidermal cell shape, anticlinal wall patterns, type of stomata a...

Does Government Environmental Spending Crowd in Green Investment? The Role of Carbon Pricing and the Limits of Fiscal Policy Alone

Governments around the world are spending more on environmental protection, but it is far from obvious that this spending pulls private capital into green assets. This paper asks whether government environmental expenditure crowds in green investment at the country level, whether...

Precipitation-Driven Land Cover Dynamics in Türkiye: A Multi-Dataset Assessment Using CHIRPS, TerraClimate, and TRMM

This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) along precipitation gradients across Türkiye by integrating high-resolution satellite-based precipitation datasets (CHIRPS, TerraClimate, and TRMM) with the European Space Agency (ESA) WorldCover (1...

Testing the reliability of a camera‐trap based abundance proxy for assessing mountain ungulate populations

Abstract Monitoring wildlife abundance is important for understanding species population status and trends and, thus, for informing conservation planning and wildlife management. Yet, abundance monitoring can be challenging and costly to implement, particularly for wildlife of co...
