UAV-Enabled Inspection System With No-Fly Zones: DRL-Based Joint Mobile Nest Scheduling and UAV Trajectory Design by Jin Dai, Yunfei Gao, Chao Cai, Wei Xiong, Manjia Liu

“…The formulated problem is a multivariate mixed non-convex optimization problem (due to the presence of NFZs), which makes it challenging to address with conventional techniques such as successive convex approximation and graph theory. To solve these issues, we first model the proposed problem as a Markov decision process (MDP). …”

Forming the Professional Identity of Future Teachers through Service-Learning by I. A. Rudneva, O. A. Kozyreva

“…The statistical qualification of the results was performed using the Pearson χ2 goodness-of-fit criterion.The case of the Volgograd State Social-Pedagogical University demonstrated that service learning is used as an effective means of forming the professional identity of future teachers: a) the emotional component of professional identity (involvement, interest, focus on solving socially significant problems); b) the communication component of the professional identity (enrichment of the experience of interpersonal communication and interaction with different gender, age and social groups); c) the activity – based component of the professional identity (development of technological skills and creativity).The results of the study can be applied to the development of the problem of the professional identity of future teachers, the study of the possibilities of service-learning as a pedagogical method; they contribute to the theory and practice of continuous pedagogical education.…”
