Enhancing Pupils' Reading Skills Through the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools: A Survey of Primary Schools in Ondo East Local Government Area, Ondo State, Nigeria
The study examined the use of AI tools in teaching reading skills in selected primary schools in Ondo East Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria by employing a balloting system to select twenty-five primary schools out of the fifty primary schools in the area of study, and used all the teachers available in those schools as the sample which amounted to one hundred and forty-one persons. A mixed method approach was adopted to get qualitative and quantitative data with two instruments designed by the researcher; the first being a fifteen item \"yes\" or \"no\" structured questionnaire, and the second one was a four-item open-ended instrument. The study used simple percentages to analyse quantitative data and thematic analyses for qualitative data. The findings revealed that primary school teachers have a misconception about AI tools used in teaching reading skills, teachers have no training in the use of AI, AI tools and facilities are not available in schools. The study recommended that in-service training programmes be organised for teachers, AI tools should be provided in primary schools and that public awareness be created for parents on the importance of using AI tools in teaching reading skills.

Reading experience reveals shared and idiosyncratic neural patterns during text comprehension
Language and reading experience foster interpersonal alignment in communication, yet their impact on shared and idiosyncratic neural patterns in language comprehension remains underexplored. In this study, we investigate how individual differences in reading experience influence neural similarity across readers. We used a topicalized Author Recognition Test to profile participants’ reading experience across diverse topics and used an fMRI task to measure neural activity while participants read narrative and expository texts. We found that greater print exposure was associated with enhanced alignment with others in bilateral semantic regions during narrative reading. In contrast, during expository comprehension, higher print exposure was related to more idiosyncratic patterns in the frontoparietal control network (FPN). Inter-subject representational similarity analysis further revealed shared brain-behavior patterns between distributed reading experience and activities in the default mode network (DMN). These findings highlight how accumulative reading experience is related to both shared and individualized neural dynamics during language comprehension.

LIBRARIES THE COMMUNITY LEARNING HUB
Libraries change lives, but many people may not be aware of how the library may be a life changing agent because individuals do not understand the real work of the institution. Most people think of the library as an antiquated house of dusty, old books where a few people may go from time to time if they are need of a book to learn about a specific topic for a high school or college research paper; however, the library has changed and continues to innovate meeting the needs of its community each and every day. Local and school libraries offer children an additional learning space to enhance their love of reading through a wealth of books individuals may or may not have at home. Library professionals take care to get to know their library community to select the perfect books children desire. In most cases, these specialized curated collections offer kids the ability to see a world beyond the one they currently know and experience.

Hardball Speaks to Our Hard Times
The settings of Sara Paretsky's Hardball are Chicago's glittering but decrepit political scene in the late 2000s and an open housing march led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1966 that became volatile and violent. Hardball's instructional text shows the contemporary consequences of systemic racism stemming from Jim Crow laws, the development of police power, and waves of immigration.

A comparative study of information change in translation of nonfiction literature
The present paper compares translations from Russian into Finnish, Swedish, and English of a work of political non-fiction, Всякремлевскаярать: КраткаяисториясовременнойРоссии(lit. All the Kremlin men: A short history of contemporary Russia) by Mikhail Zygar (2016a) and investigates the use of information change as a translation strategy. Information change covers addition and omission of non-inferable content, used either separately or sequentially (i.e. addition following omission resulting in substitution). De Metsenaere’s and Vandepitte’s (2017) notions of addition and omission are applied. The study shows that the translations into Finnish and Swedish exhibit similarly infrequent use of information changing strategies while the English translation appears more liberal in their use. Possible reasons for the additions, omissions, substitutions, and their effects are discussed, as is the potential impact of the English translations on translation norms

Fact or fiction: harmonising and unifying legal principles of local content requirements
The ambition to develop oil and gas activities continues to determine what policy instruments governments formulate in the process. Presently governments tend to overhaul their outdated regulatory frameworks in order to secure socio-economic developments for their citizens. One recent policy that has attracted global popularity is the local content requirements in the oil and gas sectors. Local content is a policy tool utilised by governments to generate economic benefits for the local economy, which go beyond fiscal benefits. Local content means the value addition brought to an economy. It includes achieving certain local percentages of labour, goods and services within the oil and gas sectors. Conversely, while there is little variance over the reasons why countries encourage the use of local content, there is hardly a universal definition of what 'local' actually covers, nor is there agreement on what the 'content' should be. Notably the ongoing debate over the implementation of local content objectives remains a controversial subject among industry stakeholders. Consequently, implementing local content requirements does not mean business as usual; in fact achieving certain local percentages of labour, goods and services supplied may not always suffice for projects in the upstream sector if the capacity might run out in countries with a limited industrial base. This article therefore aims at harmonising and possibly unifying a range of instruments as applied in various petroleum regimes with the possibility of assessing an enabling environment through critically evaluating the controversial requirement. Further, this article argues that despite the fact that local content has a universal application, the actual practice (implementation process) varies from country to country and often is based on a number of issues including sovereign goals and strategies which vary considerably as will be discussed throughout the article. Finally, the article attempts to make recommendations that would attain the ultimate goal of a viable local content policy which should be to create jobs at home rather than abroad, by enhancing sustainable industrial growth and national wealth.
