How do we measure attention?


   Attention, broadly defined, is the ability to direct the mind on a specific task, says Gloria Mark, author of Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity. There are two main types of attention, Mark explains. Involuntary attention is automatic—it’s what allows us to react to a loud noise or a jarringly bright light. Focalized attention, by contrast, is the ability to concentrate on a specific task. This latter type is what scientists measure when researching attention spans.

   Since the early 2000s, Mark has tracked focalized attention by observing how long people remain on a task before switching to something else—such as checking email or opening a new browser tab. At first, Mark used in-person observations— researchers shadowed employees throughout the office. In recent years, she has tracked attention spans using software that monitors people’s computers.

   “Data from our first study, in 2003, revealed that people spent an average of 2.5 minutes on something before turning their attention to a different task,” she says, “Our most recent study done over the past five years shows that the figure has gone down to 40 seconds.” The measure doesn’t capture how long people can focus under ideal conditions, Mark notes, meaning shorter attention spans don’t reflect a permanent loss of attention capacity, but changes in how often people break their focus in daily life.

Building Trustworthy AI in Government: Enablers, Guardrails, and Engagement 







    Governments are starting to use AI in areas like public services, tax work, and disaster response. When it works well, AI can help people get answers faster, spot problems earlier, and support better decisions. As a result, AI can improve productivity, responsiveness, and accountability in government.
    However, many public AI projects stay in small pilots. This happens because governments often lack skills, good data, modern digital systems, and clear ways to measure impact. These gaps can also increase risk aversion, so teams avoid innovation even when the potential benefits are high.
    The OECD proposes a simple way to understand “trustworthy AI in government”: a framework with three connected pillars. In the figure, the goal is in the centre. Around it, the three pillars explain what governments must build and do, so they can reach the public value goals shown on the outer ring (productivity, responsiveness and accountability).
     Enablers are the foundations. They include strong governance, quality data, and digital infrastructure, as well as skills and talent in the civil service. They also require purposeful investment, smart public procurement, and partnerships with non-government actors, so that AI systems can be built and used reliably.
    Guardrails are the safety systems that guide AI use. They include ethics and risk management, transparency duties, and monitoring and oversight bodies that can check results over time. They can also be non-binding guidance or binding laws and policies, along with enforcement measures. Tools like impact assessment and auditing help keep these guardrails practical. Still, guardrails should be proportionate: not every rule fits every use case, or progress may stop.
    Engagement means involving the people who are affected. This includes working across levels of government, across policy areas, and with the broader ecosystem (civil society, businesses and researchers). It also includes citizens and civil servants, and sometimes collaboration across borders. Engagement pushes governments to design user-centred systems, listen to concerns, and make necessary adjustments.
     The main message is that trust is “unlocked” by the right mix. If enablers are weak, AI cannot scale. If guardrails are missing, harms grow. If engagement is shallow, solutions may look efficient but feel unfair, and trust can fall.

A Message Across Screens


Every morning, Emma checked her phone before getting out of bed. Messages, videos, and stories filled her screen, connecting her to people from different parts of the world.

Defining the Role of a Tax Auditor



    The core function of a tax auditor is to examine financial records and supporting documentation against the figures reported on official returns, whether for individuals or corporations. This examination seeks to verify every line item, from gross receipts and reported income to specific deductions claimed for ordinary and necessary business expenses. A primary goal is to confirm that the taxpayer's stated liability aligns precisely with the relevant federal or state tax law.


    The auditor works to identify discrepancies or misapplications of the law that may lead to an underpayment of taxes due. They scrutinize documentation that supports deductions, such as receipts for depreciation claimed or substantiation for charitable contributions. The auditor ultimately determines if the taxpayer owes additional tax, is duea refund, or if the return is accurate as filed.

Challenges in Auditing: Overcoming Barriers to Financial Accuracy and Compliance By accountancy/ December 7, 2024


Auditing is essential for ensuring financial integrity, regulatory compliance, and fraud detection in organizations. However, the audit process faces numerous challenges that can hinder its effectiveness, including evolving regulations, financial complexities, technological disruptions, and fraud risks. These challenges impact the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of audit outcomes. This article explores some challenges in auditing and how organizations and auditors can address them.

As global economies grow more interconnected and digitalized, auditors are operating in an increasingly complex environment. According to the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the top challenges facing modern auditors include adapting to evolving financial technologies, maintaining independence amid client pressures, and addressing regulatory diversity across jurisdictions. Understanding these barriers is crucial for enhancing audit quality and sustaining investor confidence.


1. Evolving Accounting Standards and Regulations


Audit teams often face difficulties keeping pace with ongoing updates from regulatory bodies like the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). These revisions, while aimed at improving transparency, require significant retraining, policy adjustments, and system reconfiguration within firms. Noncompliance can result in audit deficiencies or sanctions from oversight bodies such as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).


2. Compliance with Multiple Jurisdictions


Multinational corporations present complex challenges due to varying legal frameworks, tax systems, and currency translations. Auditors must coordinate across borders, often collaborating with local affiliates to ensure consistent audit quality under different reporting systems.


3. Regulatory Investigations and Legal Risks


- Failure to detect fraud or misstatements can lead to legal actions against auditors.

- Auditors may face reputational damage if their reports are later found inaccurate.

- Example: An audit firm facing legal action for failing to uncover fraudulent revenue reporting.

Recent corporate scandals - such as the collapses of Enron, Wirecard, and Carillion - have heightened scrutiny on auditors. Regulatory agencies now demand greater accountability, transparency, and documentation. This has increased professional liability and insurance costs for audit firms.


4. Fraud Risks and Ethical Challenges


- Companies may manipulate financial reports to inflate profits or hide losses.

- Auditors must apply forensic techniques to detect fraud effectively.

- Example: An organization overstating revenue to attract investors.

Fraudulent reporting remains a persistent global issue. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). organizations lose an estimated 5% of annual revenue to fraud. This underscores the importance of professional skepticism and data-driven audit analytics in uncovering deceptive practices.


5. Auditor Independence and Conflict of Interest


- Auditors may face pressure from management to overlook financial irregularities.

- Close relationships with clients can compromise audit independence.

Example: An auditor receiving incentives to provide an unqualified audit opinion despite financial misstatements.

Maintaining independence is a cornerstone of audit ethics. The IFAC Code of Ethics emphasizes that even perceived conflicts of interest can erode trust. Audit rotation policies and separation of consulting services from audit work are key measures to preserve integrity.

Q3946988 Inglês
        Digital technologies have transformed the way English is taught and learned, offering educators and students more dynamic and flexible ways to engage with language. According to recent research, tools such as computer-assisted instruction, mobile devices, and online multimedia platforms enable both teachers and learners to access a wide variety of resources — from interactive exercises, videos, and audio recordings to adaptive learning modules. 


        These tools facilitate exposure to real language input, allow for repetition and individual pacing, and help learners practise all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) beyond the constraints of the traditional classroom schedule. 


        Moreover, the integration of technology in English-language instruction tends to increase student motivation and engagement. Studies report that when classrooms incorporate digital media and interactive tasks, students often show greater participation, interest, and willingness to communicate — factors that contribute to better learning outcomes.


        In contexts where technology offers immediate feedback or allows for collaborative online work, learners also benefit from more autonomy and personalized learning paths, which can boost confidence and foster a more learner-centered environment. 


       However, effective technology integration depends on thoughtful planning, teacher training, and pedagogical balance. The literature warns that simply having access to digital tools does not guarantee improved learning; educators must design meaningful tasks, adapt materials appropriately, and support learners' needs. 


          Furthermore, in settings where access to devices or internet is limited, or where teachers lack sufficient training, the potential benefits may not be realized — which underlines the importance of institutional support and professional development for successful implementation.

Teacher Qualifications, Professionalism, Competencies, and Benchmarks


To achieve professionalism, English language teachers (both native English-speaking teachers [NESTs] and nonnative English-speaking teachers [NNESTs]) need to gain competence in disciplinary content knowledge about the nature of language, language learning, and language teaching, as well as pedagogical content knowledge regarding teaching strategies that they can use to make their teaching contextually appropriate and effective. Teachers also need to achieve the ability to use English effectively for different purposes, and acquire knowledge about English that gives them the skills to analyze and explain the language. In addition, teachers need to engage in reflective activities and classroom-based research as part of developing teacher qualifications, in order to be able to make a connection between these bodies of knowledge and their practice and continue their professional development. Benchmarks developed to measure teachers' English language proficiency need to reflect local needs and constraints as well as respond to the role of English as a lingua franca.

TEXT 1


The Decolonial Option in English Teaching: Can the Subaltern Act?


In this reflective article that straddles the personal and the professional, the author shares his critical thoughts on the impact of the steady stream of discourse on the native speaker/nonnative speaker (NS/NNS) inequity in the field of TESOL. His contention is that more than a quarter century of the discoursal output has not in any significant way altered the ground reality of NNS subordination. Therefore, he further contends, it is legitimate to ask what the discourse has achieved, where it has fallen short, why it has fallen short, and what needs to be done. Drawing insights from the works of Gramsci (1971) on hegemony and subalternity, and Mignolo (2010) on decoloniality, the author characterizes the NNS community as a subaltern community and argues that, if it wishes to effectively disrupt the hegemonic power structure, the only option open to it is a decolonial option which demands resultoriented action, not just “intellectual elaboration.” Accordingly, he presents the contours of a five-point plan of action for the consideration of the subaltern community. He claims that only a collective, concerted, and coordinated set of actions carries the potential to shake the foundation of the hegemonic power structure and move the subaltern community forward.

TEXT 1


The Decolonial Option in English Teaching: Can the Subaltern Act?


In this reflective article that straddles the personal and the professional, the author shares his critical thoughts on the impact of the steady stream of discourse on the native speaker/nonnative speaker (NS/NNS) inequity in the field of TESOL. His contention is that more than a quarter century of the discoursal output has not in any significant way altered the ground reality of NNS subordination. Therefore, he further contends, it is legitimate to ask what the discourse has achieved, where it has fallen short, why it has fallen short, and what needs to be done. Drawing insights from the works of Gramsci (1971) on hegemony and subalternity, and Mignolo (2010) on decoloniality, the author characterizes the NNS community as a subaltern community and argues that, if it wishes to effectively disrupt the hegemonic power structure, the only option open to it is a decolonial option which demands resultoriented action, not just “intellectual elaboration.” Accordingly, he presents the contours of a five-point plan of action for the consideration of the subaltern community. He claims that only a collective, concerted, and coordinated set of actions carries the potential to shake the foundation of the hegemonic power structure and move the subaltern community forward.

Considering the following excerpt from Text 1, where it says “the author shares his critical thoughts on the impact of the steady stream of discourse on the native speaker/nonnative speaker (NS/NNS) inequity in the field of TESOL”, the underlined expression (steady stream) could be correctly replaced (preserving its original meaning and use in its original context) by:
