Formation of the Educational Trajectory: Educational Motives and Choices in the Narratives of Students from Moscow Leading Universities by A. V. Noskova, D. V. Goloukhova, E. I. Kuzmina

“…Educational choices related to keeping or changing the educational trajectory are determined by the desire to avoid risks and having a high level of satisfaction with studies in the case of linear trajectories and the desire  to  gain  new  educational  experience,  obtaining  competencies  that  go  beyond  the  scope of the specialty being studied, as well as environmental factors of the university in the case of non-linear tracks.It is shown that a qualitative research strategy allows the researchers to look at reflected educational choices from the perspective of their semantic content, which is especially in demand due to the growing trend towards individualization of the educational process. …”

An underground coal mine multi-target detection algorithm by FAN Shoujun, CHEN Xilin, WEI Liangyue, WANG Qingyu, ZHANG Shiyuan, DONG Fei, LEI Shaohua

“…To address these issues, based on the single-stage target detection algorithm YOLOv8n, this study proposed an underground coal mine multi-target detection algorithm based on feature extraction by dynamic snake convolution (FEDSC)-feature fusion by bi-directional feature pyramid network and semantic and detail fusion (FFBD). FEDSC replaced the backbone network of YOLOv8n to expand the receptive field, while FFBD acted as the neck network to reduce target false detection and missed detection. …”
