Hyundai Motor Group says it will roll out human-like
robots in its factories from 2028, as major companies race to use
the new technology. The South Korean firm showed off Atlas, a
humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, at the
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Monday.
Hyundai says it "plans to integrate Atlas across its global
network", including a plant in the US state of Georgia that was
involved in a massive immigration raid in 2025. Other firms that
have said they will use humanoid robots in their operations
include Amazon, Tesla, and Chinese car making giant BYD.
The Atlas robots will gradually take on more tasks, said
Hyundai. The firm owns a majority stake in Boston Dynamics,
the technology company famous for Spot, the robot dog. Atlas,
which is designed for general industrial use, is being developed
to work alongside people and autonomously manage machines.
Hyundai said the robots will help ease physical strain on human
workers, handle potentially dangerous tasks and pave the way for
wider use of the technology. The firm did not say how many
robots it would initially deploy or how much the project will cost.
Internet: <www.bbc.com> (adapted).
Considering the previous text, judge the item that follow.
Hyundai intends to begin introducing humanoid robots into its factories before the end of the present decade.

A new study suggests that the number of children a
woman has might affect her rate of ageing and her lifespan.
Research from the University of Helsinki in Finland found that
women who had five children or more, or no children, aged faster
than those who had a small number of kids. Researcher Mikaela
Hukkanen said: "From an evolutionary biology perspective,
organisms have limited resources, such as time and energy. When
a large amount of energy is invested in reproduction, it is taken
away from bodily maintenance and repair mechanisms, which
could reduce lifespan." She added that the finding of shorter
lifespans of women who never gave birth was "surprising".
The researchers used historical data in their analysis of
parenthood and ageing. They analysed the health data on 14,836
women. Researchers examined DNA data and blood samples,
then modelled the effects of reproduction on women’s rates of
ageing and longevity. Ms. Hukkanen postulated that having a
smaller number of pregnancies could have favourable effects on a
mother’s health. One benefit is a possible lower risk of breast and
ovarian cancer. However, the "wear and tear" and physical
demands of multiple childbirths can negate this lowered risk.
Another factor that could increase longevity is the increased
social support a mother receives from the state for having
children.

Based on the preceding text, judge the following item.
The text suggests that the lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer completely offsets the negative physical consequences of multiple childbirths.

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye
limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach
is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as
computational hardware. These "biocomputers" are still in their
early days. They can play simple games such as Pong, and
perform basic speech recognition.
But the excitement is fueled by three converging trends.
First, venture capital is flowing into anything adjacent to AI,
making speculative ideas suddenly fundable. Second, techniques
for growing brain tissue outside the body have matured, with the
pharmaceutical industry jumping on board. Third, rapid advances
in brain‒computer interfaces have seen growing acceptance of
technologies that blur the line between biology and machines.
Nevertheless, plenty of questions remain. Are we
witnessing genuine breakthroughs, or another round of
tech-driven hype? And what ethical questions arise when human
brain tissue becomes a computational component? For almost 50
years, neuroscientists have grown neurons on arrays of tiny
electrodes to study how they fire under controlled conditions.
By the early 2000s, researchers attempted rudimentary
two-way communication between neurons and electrodes,
planting the first seeds of a bio-hybrid computer. But progress
stalled until another strand of research took off: brain organoids.
In 2013, scientists demonstrated that stem cells could
self-organise into three-dimensional brain-like structures. These
organoids spread rapidly through biomedical research,
increasingly aided by “organ-on-a-chip” devices designed to
mimic aspects of human physiology outside the body.
Today, using stem-cell-derived neural tissue is
commonplace ⸺ from drug testing to developmental research.
Yet the neural activity in these models remains primitive, far
from the organised firing patterns that underpin cognition or
consciousness in a real brain. While complex network behaviour
is beginning to emerge even without much external stimulation,
experts generally agree that current organoids are not conscious,
nor close to it.

In the sentence "While complex network behavior is beginning to emerge even without much external stimulation, experts generally agree that current organoids are not conscious, nor close to it" (last paragraph), the connector "While" expresses contrast, and could be correctly replaced with Although.

All About TPACK: A Teacher’s Guide to the TPACK Tech
Integration Model
TPACK, or Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, is a
framework for the integration of technology in the classroom. The
TPACK framework is a helpful guide to providing students with a
high-quality educational experience, when technology is
incorporated in the classroom.
Though its history is difficult to track, TPACK seems to have first
been presented in research written by Punya Mishra and Matthew
J. Koehler in 2006, and has since evolved into the framework
teachers use today.
TPACK identifies three forms of knowledge:
Technological Knowledge: Knowledge about technology,
including thinking about and working with technology, tools, and
resources.
Pedagogical Knowledge: Knowledge about pedagogy, including
practices or methods of teaching and learning.
Content Knowledge: Knowledge about the content or subject
area to be learned or taught.
The TPACK approach does not view these knowledge areas in
isolation. Instead, the framework emphasizes the intersections of
these knowledge areas, as seen on the diagram:
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)
In the center of the diagram, you will see TPACK, which is the
model for how to teach with technology.
TPACK therefore gives teachers a framework to combine their
knowledge of technology, pedagogy, and content for an
innovative approach to teaching and learning.
