TEXT III

The English schools looking to dispel ‘doom and gloom' around Al

Charles Darwin chatting with students about evolution, primary school pupils seeing their writing transformed into images, Luton reimagined as a cool automobile - artificial intelligence is invading schools across England in surprising ways.

While Bridget Philipson, the education secretary, in January called for a “digital revolution” involving Al in schools, it has already begun in places such as Willowdown primary school in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Matt Cave, Willowdown's head teacher, said his pupils improve their descriptive writing by feeding their work into an Al client to generate images.

“All of a sudden they've got all these pictures from different people’s descriptions, and they can then discuss with their classmates whether that was the image they expected to be in the reader’s head,” Cave said.

“It was really stimulating and thought-provoking for them to have a different audience.” The results, according to Cave, have been "brilliant” and a contrast to the “doom and gloom” he had heard from worried school leaders.

“I wouldn't want anyone to think we weren't aware of the potential hazards - we emphasise that to the children continually. But it's going to be a tool that they are going to need to use all their lives,” Cave said.

Marina Wyatt, head of science for key stage 3 at Furze Platt senior school in Maidenhead, said that she has found teacher-led use of Al useful for engaging students in discussions, including with a virtual Charles Darwin.

In the prompt we tell it to respond as Charles Darwin, and stay in the role. And it works. It came up with some brilliant stuff.

Advanced Dynamics of International Business Strategy


In the era of hyper-globalization, international busi ness strategy has evolved into a highly sophisticated discipline characterized by the orchestration of cross border value creation under conditions of uncertainty and institutional divergence. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) must navigate complex configurations of global value chains (GVCs), optimizing location-spe cific advantages while mitigating transaction costs, as articulated in Transaction Cost Economics.


A central theoretical lens in this domain is the Eclectic Paradigm, which posits that firms engage in foreign direct investment (FDI) when three conditions are satisfied: ownership-specific advantages (O), location specific advantages (L), and internalization incentives (I). These determinants collectively inform entry mode decisions, ranging from wholly owned subsidiaries to joint ventures and strategic alliances.


Institutional theory further underscores the impor tance of isomorphic pressures—coercive, mimetic, and normative—that shape organizational behavior across different jurisdictions. Firms operating in emerging economies often encounter institutional voids, charac terized by the absence or underdevelopment of inter mediaries such as capital markets, legal enforcement mechanisms, and regulatory agencies. In such contexts, firms may adopt non-market strategies, including polit ical lobbying and network-based relational contracting, to compensate for institutional deficiencies.


From an operational perspective, supply chain resil ience has become a critical strategic priority.


Concepts such as just-in-time (JIT) inventory manage ment are increasingly being reevaluated in favor of just-in-case (JIC) models, particularly in light of disrup tions stemming from events like the COVID-19 pan demic. Firms now emphasize redundancy, nearshoring, and diversification of suppliers to enhance robustness against exogenous shocks.


Financially, exchange rate volatility and cross-border capital flows introduce significant risks. Firms employ sophisticated hedging instruments, such as forward contracts, options, and swaps, to manage foreign exchange exposure. Additionally, transfer-pricing mechanisms are utilized not only for internal cost allocation but also as tools for tax optimization, often scrutinized by regulatory authorities for compliance with the arm’s length principle.


Digitalization and Industry 4.0 technologies—including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT)—are transforming international operations. These technologies facilitate real-time data analytics, enhance transparency in supply chains, and enable predictive decision-making. However, they also neces sitate compliance with divergent data localization laws and cybersecurity regulations across jurisdictions.


Sustainability and ESG integration are increasingly embedded in corporate strategy through frameworks such as carbon accounting, circular economy models, and impact investing. Firms are now expected to align with global standards like the United Nations Global Compact, ensuring adherence to principles related to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.


Ultimately, competitive advantage .........................  international business is contingent ........................... a firm’s ability to integrate strategic, operational, financial, and technological capabilities while remaining adaptive ................... an evolving global ecosystem marked ....................... volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA).

Analyze the following case:

A leading agro-industrial firm based in Santa Cata rina—specializing in poultry and pork exports—is fac ing increasing pressure in global markets. Historically, the company has benefited from Brazil’s disease-free livestock status and strong compliance with World Organization for Animal Health standards, enabling access to premium markets in Asia and Europe.

However, recent developments have disrupted its competitive position:

- A major importing country has introduced stricter ESG and carbon-traceability requirements.

- Exchange rate volatility in Brazil has increased f inancial uncertainty.

- Logistics bottlenecks at Port of Itajaí have delayed shipments.

- Competitors from other countries are offering lower-cost alternatives.

Based on the scenario, which strategic response would be most appropriate for the firm at this stage?

Which alternative completes the sentences in the following text?
UN: Iran using drones to enforce hijab law
A report by the United Nations says Iran is using advanced technology, including drones, facial recognition and a citizen-reporting app to crack down _______ violations of its mandatory hijab laws.
A key element of the eff ort is the government - backed Nazer app, which enables the police and "vetted" members of the public to report alleged violations by women in vehicles, including those in ambulances, mass transit and taxis.
The report describes the app as allowing users to upload the vehicle license plate, location and time of an alleged violation. It then, according to the report, alerts police. Then, according to the report, the app "triggers a text message (in real-time) to the registered owner of the vehicle, warning them that they had been found ______ violation of the mandatory hijab laws, and that their vehicles would be impounded for ignoring these warnings."
According to the report, authorities are using drones in Tehran and the southern part of the country to monitor hijab compliance in public areas, as well as new facial recognition software said to have been installed last year _______ the entrance of Tehran’s Amirkabir University.

THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY

The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital Paranoia ?  


In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift, encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation, suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions— ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition of infidelity.  

From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a symptom of the "validation economy." The digital architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant pursuit of external approval, where a notification can function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently, the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the threshold of trust has likely been breached.  

Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of digital sociability. They argue that the expansion of the "cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as "micro-infidelities," we risk imposing a panoptic gaze on our partners, where every "friend request" is scrutinized for subversive intent.

For the language educator, this phenomenon provides a rich semiotic field for classroom reflection. Aligning with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study of such themes transcends mere grammatical decoding. It invites students to engage in "multiliteracies," analyzing how meaning is negotiated across digital platforms and how language (visual, verbal, and symbolic) shapes social ethics. In this sense, the English language is not merely a system of signs to be mastered, but a tool for critical agency in a globalized, hyper-connected world. 


Complete the sentence with the correct sequence of prepositions, considering standard collocations in academic English:
"The tendency _____ engaging _____ micro-cheating is often linked _____ a lack _____ satisfaction in long-term relationships."
