Aybeyan Selim, Ilker Ali — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into personalized learning environments transforms traditional educational models by offering tailored learning experiences to individual students. AI-driven tools such as adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, and natural language processing enable real-time adjustments in instructional content based on each student's performance and needs. These technologies enhance student engagement, provide continuous assessment, and empower educators with data-driven insights to support targeted interventions. While AI presents immense potential for scalable, flexible, and accessible education, challenges such as data privacy and the need for human oversight remain crucial. This paper explores the role of AI in revolutionizing personalized learning, its benefits and the future implications for education.

Drug use refers to the uncontrolled consumption of chemical substances that initially produces rapid, euphoric effects but eventually leads to serious and lasting harm. This condition not only provides temporary pleasure and relief but also disrupts brain function, causing fluctuations in mood, cognitive difficulties, and psychological disturbances. Drug use develops as a result of the complex interaction between an individual’s personal characteristics, environmental influences, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural norms. Consequently, it undermines family relationships, professional life, and social cohesion, resulting in significant health and social problems across society. Treatment processes involve a multidisciplinary approach that includes a medically supervised detoxification phase, psychological support, rehabilitation programs, and community projects aimed at promoting social integration.

PREREQUISITES FOR EFFECTIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

Arafat Useini — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100

Communicating in multiple languages is becoming increasingly valuable in our interconnected and globalized world. However, knowing grammar and the alphabet does not necessarily mean one can pronounce words correctly. Learning pronunciation rules from the beginning helps overcome initial obstacles and proves beneficial in the long run. Practicing pronunciation and being mindful of it while learning a language is essential for fluency. This article explores the necessity of learning a foreign language, emphasizing cognitive benefits, career opportunities, cultural appreciation, and social advantages. Additionally, it discusses the challenges learners face and strategies to overcome them. Learning a new language can seem intimidating, but with the right mindset, methods, and motivation, anyone can achieve fluency. The key is to approach language learning with optimism and self-belief. Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts such as “I’m not good at languages” or “I tried before and failed”, learners should focus on incremental progress. With consistent effort over time, fluency is within reach. To achieve success in learning English as a foreign language, it is essential to lay a strong foundation with certain prerequisites. These foundational elements help learners progress more effectively and efficiently in their language-learning journey.

Barış Yılmaz — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100

This study examines the impact of citizen science (CS) projects on water resource management and environmental monitoring. The integration of digital technologies enhances community-based data collection processes for water quality monitoring, pollution detection, and ecosystem health. By providing examples from European Union-funded projects, the study demonstrates how digital tools, and mobile applications enable large-scale monitoring of environmental changes through extensive public participation. The reliability of CS data poses significant challenges in terms of scientific accuracy, yet the incorporation of machine learning and remote sensing technologies enhances data credibility. Furthermore, the study discusses the sustainability of citizen participation, motivation, and long-term engagement in these projects. The role of citizen science in environmental decision-making processes and policy development is emphasized. The paper suggests that for CS projects to be more effective, standardization of data collection methodologies, improvement of digital infrastructure, and overcoming legal and ethical barriers are necessary.

Gjorgi Slamkov — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100

The paper addresses a crucial issue in the fight against corruption, which is whether anti-corruption legislation is effectively implemented in practice.

The author has conducted an analysis of the implementation of several essential competencies of the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, as well as data from competent institutions on persons convicted of corruption crimes.

The paper emphasizes that North Macedonia has a generally good legal framework for the fight against corruption, but weak implementation, which has also been noted in reports by international organizations, is a fundamental problem for the proper fight against corruption.

The author pays special attention to the level of implementation of the strategic document for the fight against corruption - the National Strategy and the consequences of the poor implementation of this document.

The paper uses the method of content analysis, as well as the statistical method. In addition, official data from competent institutions were used.

Strengthening the fight against corruption is a prerequisite for the rule of law and in this direction it is necessary for the competent institutions to take action to fully implement their competencies, which implies normative and institutional changes in order to achieve effective implementation of the regulation.

EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESCHOOL TEACHERS’ STRESS LEVELS AND SCHOOL CLIMATE

Türker Sezer, Fatıma Karaca Gelgör — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100

This study, structured as a literature review, explores the concepts of 'Teacher Stress' and 'School Climate.' Researchers have shown increasing interest in teacher stress; however, studies focusing on preschool teachers' stress remain limited (Hu et al., 2019). Research on stress among preschool educators consistently highlights its profound negative impact on both teachers' well-being and classroom dynamics. High stress levels are closely linked to burnout and emotional exhaustion, which in turn diminish teachers' self-efficacy and motivation, particularly in managing challenging classroom behaviors (Roberts et al., 2020). Furthermore, elevated stress disrupts the classroom climate, weakens teacher-student relationships, and hinders children's socio-emotional development (Sönmez & Kolaşınlı, 2020; Jeon et al., 2018). This stress also reduces teachers' confidence in managing classroom dynamics, adversely affecting their ability to create a supportive learning environment (Zhai et al., 2011). Collectively, these findings underscore the need for interventions that support preschool teachers in managing occupational stress, thereby enhancing both educators' resilience and classroom quality.

The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature by examining the factors influencing preschool teachers' stress levels and their relationship with school climate, which is considered one of the primary causes of stress.

Sunchica Trifunovska Janikj — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100

During its historical development, the Macedonian language, like all other languages, was exposed to influences from other languages. Macedonia was under Turkish rule for five and a half centuries, so we can say that Turkishisms are the most numerous in the Macedonian lexicon in all areas of life. In this paper, we will consider some of the Turkicisms from the field of hydrography that we find in entire regions of the Macedonian dialect area and some that are represented only in the island area. According to the Questionnaire for collecting material for the Macedonian Dialect Atlas, in this paper we will process some of the Turkish lexical units. Based on the dialect material from the Macedonian dialect atlas project at the Macedonian Language Institute „Krste Misirkov“ in Skopje, we will first give a geographical distribution of names. Then we will give a semantic analysis of the Turkish names according to the Interpretive Dictionary of the Macedonian language and finally we will give an etymological analysis.
