The article describes the main forms of work with students of the specialty special education, contributing to the effective professional training of future specialists. The analysis of innovative and interactive forms of work with future speech therapists in educational institutions. The status of teachers is changing, who become the organizers of the educational development process, which is saturated with the student's research work. In modern conditions, the teacher does not give information about certain topics, but organizes active research activities of students. In modern conditions, the forms of interaction between the teacher and students are changing. Traditional forms of learning change into forms of active, innovative learning: didactic games, analysis of problematic pedagogical situations, mutual assessment, and mutual control. Interactive learning involves modeling problematic pedagogical situations, using role-playing games, joint problem solving, developing a common strategy for overcoming difficult situations and more. It effectively contributes to the formation of future speech and language therapists, constructive creative thinking; development of values; creating an atmosphere of cooperation, interaction; enables the future specialist to develop their abilities as it is a kind of "redistribution of activity" from teacher to student. The use of interactive forms of learning promotes the formation of students' critical thinking, the ability to reasonably argue their own opinion, analyze the thoughts of others, find ways out of problematic pedagogical situations that arise in real conditions, etc. The practical experience of introducing innovative forms of education testifies to the formation of cognitive interest in the future speech therapists to study the disciplines of the professional component, allows the teacher to take into account the peculiarities of students' creative abilities development and their ability to apply them in practice, provide active practical training.

The paper presents a classification of cyber attacks within the context of the state of the art in the maritime industry. A systematic categorization of vessel components has been conducted, complemented by an analysis of key services delivered within ports. The vulnerabilities of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) have been given particular consideration since it is a critical subcategory of many maritime infrastructures and, consequently, a target for cyber attacks. Recent research confirms that the dramatic proliferation of cyber crimes is fueled by increased levels of integration of new enabling technologies, such as IoT and Big Data. The trend to greater systems integration is, however, compelling, yielding significant business value by facilitating the operation of autonomous vessels, greater exploitation of smart ports, a reduction in the level of manpower and a marked improvement in fuel consumption and efficiency of services. Finally, practical challenges and future research trends have been highlighted.

Sri Lanka is one of the global biodiversity hotspots that contain a large variety of fauna and flora. But nowadays Sri Lankan wildlife has faced many issues because of poor management and policies to protect wildlife. The lack of technical and research support leads many researchers to retreat to select wildlife as their domain of study. This study demonstrates a novel approach to data mining to find hidden keywords and automated labeling for past research work in this area. Then use those results to predict the trending topics of researches in the field of biodiversity. To model topics and extract the main keywords, the authors used the latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithms. Using the topic modeling performance, an ontology model was also developed to describe the relationships between each keyword. They classified the research papers using the artificial neural network (ANN) using ontology instances to predict the future gaps for wildlife research papers. The automatic classification and labeling will lead many researchers to find their desired research papers accurately and quickly.

Many studies have suggested the relationship between innovation and lifelong learning that are interrelated. However, it is still difficult to find research that takes the viewpoint of innovation as an implication of a lifelong learning process which cultivates literacy. By collecting conceptual literatures on innovation and lifelong learning, this article aims to provide a perspective view of the concept of lifelong learning in innovation. This article also contributes to encourage adults to have the mindset to always learn without being limited by space and time in creating innovation so as to avoid being illiterate again. The findings of this article suggest the idea that innovation can create learning processes. Even in the learning process, it can have implications for innovation. In the future research requires a significant amount of time to examine various perspectives and conceptual issues related to innovation seen in the perspective of lifelong learning.

Purpose This study aimed to outline the changing forms of speech-language pathology practices, for both clinical services, as well as the profession's education and practicum training in the time of COVID-19 at the European University Cyprus (EUC). This study also aimed to document the steps taken to continue service delivery safely and effectively for both the EUC's Speech, Language and Hearing Clinic's clients and the speech-language therapy students completing their practicum. Method The steps for the access to and continuity of speech-language therapy services and education/training are outlined chronologically, throughout the different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic status in the country. The rise of telepractice, telesupervision, and distance learning, adapted as solutions to the obstacles caused by the pandemic, are explained in detail, while the benefits and limitations are discussed at each step. The professional development that had to take place before this rise is also described. Conclusions The utilization of online/telecommunication technology for education, practical training, and speech-language pathologist service delivery during the time of COVID-19 in Cyprus is here to stay and will probably affect the future of the profession's clinical practice, and consequently, training programs in Cyprus in the years to come. It is uncertain if the effects of such adaptations can generalize in other populations or countries, especially where regulations and policies are already in place, or where the technological foundation is not similar. Through the benefits and limitations presented, conclusions are drawn for the future applications of telepractice, telesupervision, and distance learning post–COVID-19. Suggestions are made for the possible areas of future research, concerning clinical practice and clinical practicum training, as well as for the need to define regulations and establish these types of services in the country.
