methodology employed in this study involved a systematic, multi-phase approach designed tocapture detailed and replicable data. The steps included: 1. Data Collection: Utility bills, equipment specifications, and operational data were analyzed to establish baseline metrics for energy, water, and resource usage. This step ensured that the assessment was grounded in accurate, comprehensive data. 2. On-Site Assessment: A comprehensive walkthrough of the facility was conducted, focusing on key areas such as: o Equipment efficiency and maintenance. o Lighting systems and HVAC performance. o Water usage patterns and waste management practices. This stage involved detailed documentation and

As AI continues to influence the globaleducational landscape, fostering awareness and foundational skills from a young age is critical,ensuring children are prepared for the digital future. This research addresses two key questions:1) What are early childhood teachers' perceptions regarding AI in Azerbaijan? 2) What are thekindergarten teachers' suggestions for incorporating AI tools more effectively in the K-schoolsetting? A qualitative method approach was employed. A systematic sample of 16 teachers fromdifferent regions of Azerbaijan was selected for semi-structured

The number ofadjunct faculty in the United States has significantly increased in recent decades - the increasehas even led to coining the term "adjunctification" as a descriptor of the growing reliance onNTT faculty [1]. In 2021, two-thirds of all faculty members at U.S. universities held contingentappointments, a stark contrast to fewer than half in 1987 [2]. This trend has led to a decline inTT positions, with 24% of faculty members holding such positions in 2021, down from 39% in1987.The growing dependence on NTT faculty has not resulted in corresponding levels ofcompensation or institutional support.

Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

(system).The general system analysis steps to problem solving are outlined in Figure 1.The initial step is producing a diagram illustrating the system and clearly delineating all theinput/output variables (V) that affect the behavior of the system and listing all the pertinentindependent equations (E) between the variables. The difference in the number of variables andindependent equations establishes the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) in the system. TheDoF value can be used as a check point on the mathematical reasoning or formulation of theproblem. If the DoF is zero, the solution of the problem is determinate with only one solution;but if V > E, there may be several alternative solutions, which defines the problem as a designcase
