PENGARUH PERILAKU BAHASA DALAM MASYARAKAT TERHADAP MUTU PENDIDIKAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN SIKAP/KARAKTER PADA ANAK USIA DINI

Anak usia dini ibarat selembar kertas putih yang harus diukir dengan berbagai warna yang mampu memberikan keindahan serta nilai-nilai kebaikan. Usia anak-anak sangat rentan terhadap lingungan di sekitarnya terutama bahasa yang diperoleh si anak, sebab bahasa memiliki peran dan fungsi yang penting dan mendasar dalam proses pendidikan dan perkembangan karakter pada anak usia dini. Seorang anak yang baru belajar bahasa akan merekam apa yang ia lihat dan dengar. Bahasa yang diajarkan kepada anak harus mengandung nilai-nilai kebaikan yang menunjang pendidikan dan perkembangan karakter pada anak. Penelitian ini berfokus pada bagaimana pengaruh perilaku bahasa dalam mutu pendidikan dan perkembangan sikap/karakter pada anak usia dini. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskripsi dengan teknik catat dan observasi. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan terdapat pengaruh perilaku bahasa terhadap pendidikan dan perkembangan sikap/ karekter pada anak usia dini baik di dalam lingkungan sekolah maupun luar sekolah yakni (1) perilaku bahasa baik/sopan akan berpengaruh terhadap pendidikan dan perkembangan karekter pada anak usia dini yang menanamkan nilai-nilai baik, kesopanan dalam berbicara, bersikap, berfikir positif dan berinterkasi terhadap sesama. (2) perilaku bahasa buruk/tidak sopan akan menanamkan dan membentuk karakter yang buruk terhadap pendidikan dan perkembangan karakter anak itu sendiri yakni keegoisan, ketidak sopanan, mudah marah, kebingungan, dan lamban dalam bersikap . jadi perilaku bahasa sangat berpengaruh dalam menentukan pendidikan dan perkembangan karakter pada anak usia dini, sebab melalui bahasa seorang anak akan terlatih psikomotorik dan mental baik dalam bertindak maupun bertutur dengan penutur sekitarnya. Kata Kunci: perilaku bahasa, pendidikan, perkembangan, dan anak usia dini.
Increasing Obesity in UgandanWomen due to Transition from Rural to Urban Living Conditions ? a Qualitative Study on Traditional Body Image , Changed Lifestyles and Unawareness of Risk for Heart Disease

Globally, heart disease is still a major public health problem. In developed countries, this is due to an ageing population, and in developing countries, like Uganda, it is due to increasing negative lifestyles. Many women in Uganda move from rural to urban areas, thereby changing their diet, reducing their level of physical activity, and increasing their weight as well as their risk of myocardial infarction. Method The qualitative method was used in this study. Twelve women aged over 40 years, who within 10 years had moved from the countryside, into the city of Kampala, were interviewed by the use of a semi-structured question guide. Data were analyzed by means of Burnard’s content analysis method and by using the Theory of Reasoned Action.The aim was to examine women’s experiences and perceptions of body image, lifestyles and overweight in relation to a change of living conditions, and, furthermore, to examine their knowledge of the risks of heart disease. The results showed the following themes: body image, overweight, physical inactivity, culture, transition, women’s needs, concerns and lack of knowledge about the risk of heart disease. The core finding was that in spite of an income increase, a reduced health situation was described. All the interviewees reported increased body weight, encouraged by their surroundings. Lack of knowledge about nutrition and risk factors for heart disease, i.e., overweight and inactivity, and the fact that being obese was perceived, by themselves and others, as beautiful, were reported. Conclusion Important knowledge gained for public health measures was that interventions increasing women’s heart health should be geared towards women’s empowerment. Strategies ought to raise knowledge and awareness of forces and structures in Ugandan women’s surroundings that keep them inactive and make them increase their body weight. It is important to give the women support in taking charge of their own body and health.

Narrowband jammer suppression in coded DS-CDMA channels

Existing narrowband jammer suppressors for DS-CDMA, typically function independently of the multiuser interference cancellation strategy used. Besides, certain high-performance jammer suppression techniques, e.g., linear MMSE suppression, assume that the powers and frequencies of the interfering signals are known, or that they can be adaptively estimated. The former is never true in practice and the latter is not feasible when long spreading codes are used. The present work eliminates these restrictions, by applying the idea of iterative MMSE multiuser interference suppression, introduced earlier by the authors, to this context. The first iteration in this procedure is effectively MMSE multiuser interference cancellation; the parameters of the jammers are unknown at this stage. The outputs of all users' soft decoders (applied to the demodulator outputs of this iteration) are then fed back to subtract their (estimated) cumulative contribution from the received signal vector; the residue comprises the narrowband jammers embedded in wideband noise, so that the former can be piecewise interpolated over chip intervals of appropriate duration, and thence subtracted from the received signal for the succeeding iteration. The soft-decoded feedback estimates of the interfering signals are also used in each iteration to perform soft MMSE multiuser interference suppression, in conjunction with subtractive interference cancellation. The approach is extended to exploit the enhanced separation (in the spatial sense) that is afforded by employing multisensor receivers.
The relation between focus and theticity in the Tuu family

The paper presents first results of the documentation of Tuu languages regarding information structure, based on the analysis of coherent texts, partly supplemented by elicitated utterances. Unmarked clauses display a fairly strict verb-medial structure; the clause-initial subject can be characterized as a conflation of topic function and agent role-complex and the material after it contains the assertive focus. Pragmatically more marked clauses display an initial nominal which is morphosyntactically set off from the rest of the sentence. These cleft-like constructions are typical for utterances involving contrastively focused items as well as constituent question words. At least in some languages, these structures are also associated with another pragmatic function, namely the expression of so-called entity-central thetic statements in the sense of Sasse (1987). This polyfunctionality of cleft-like sentences is motivated, because both of these functions need to expose a nominal: while it must be more salient than the predicate in the case of term focus, it must be “up-graded” from the status of topical predication base in the case of thetic utterances

On automatic, constraint-based test-case generation for Mercury and its application to imperative languages

Creating a piece of software behaving the way the user expects it to behave is a central problem in computer science. Once a system is implemented, it needs to be evaluated in order to verify that it accurately and completely fulfils the initial expectations. Arguably the most commonly applied strategy to achieve this is testing. In testing terminology, we call a test case the combination of a single input for a software component with the expected result of its execution using that input, whereas a test suite refers to a collection of individual test cases. Testing refers to the activity of running a software component with respect to a well-chosen test suite and comparing, for each test case, the output that is produced with the expected result in order to find errors. The difficulty in software testing is due to the complexity of the systems; this complexity has never stopped growing over the years, which renders the need for constant improvement of testing techniques crucial. In particular, a test suite must be constructed in such a way that it will allow the testers to discover as many errors as possible in the program. While it is provably impossible to design test suites in such a way that the program is exercised in all the possibles ways it can possibly be, computer scientists have defined different adequacy criteria which, if satisfied by a given test suite, indicate that the successful execution of this test suite will sufficiently increase the confidence of the testers in the correctness of a program. The hard part of the testing process is constructing a test suite which satisfies the chosen adequacy criteria. This activity can be very time-consuming when performed manually; moreover, the resulting test suites are very large and complex, to such an extent that they can themselves contain errors. There exists therefore a strong interest in automating this process. In this work, we present a testing framework for the logic programming language Mercury able to generate and execute test suites that satisfy a given set of adequacy criteria. The technique we define is based on symbolic execution and constraints, and is able to deal with complex (possibly user-defined) data types. We also show how we can adapt this method in order to generate test suites satisfying sets of adequacy criteria in the context of imperative programming languages using heap-allocated pointer-based data structures.
An Examination of Fictional Libraries and Librarians Using Greimas’ Actantial Model

Popular culture can be a powerful tool in shaping a person’s view of reality. Research conducted on public opinion regarding the general state of the world supports the contention that popular culture can affect one’s view of the real world (Hall, 2012; Kellner, 1995; Wright, 2009). Given this, it seems likely that popular-culture narratives including representations of libraries and librarians are a source for the public’s image or opinion of librarianship. Library and Information Science (LIS) research on popular-culture representations of libraries and librarians is almost exclusively descriptive in nature and lacks a theoretical foundation. Such works are either lists or descriptions of fictional libraries and librarians (Barnhart, 1991; Frylinck & Oliver, 1990), or criticism or praise for specific characters or images (DeCandido, 1999; Denman, 1954; Highsmith, 2002). These articles often repeat a similar narrative, frequently bemoaning the suspected relationship such images have with the public’s impression of librarians, strengthening or creating stereotypical portraits of libraries and librarians. LIS scholars worry that public opinion with regard to the importance and usefulness of libraries is likely based—at least partly—on these false and or outdated representations of librarianship. This study examines these popular-culture representations via an analytical method from Algirdas Julien Greimas’ semiotic work on narrative. In particular, it uses Greimas’ Actantial Model (AM) to analyze fictional librarians and libraries in literature, movies, and television shows. This study seeks to answer the question: what actantial part do librarians and libraries play within their fictional narratives? The ultimate goal of this dissertation is to help change the way in which fictional libraries and
Stabilization Of Multi Machine System Connected To Infinite Bus

Transient stability analysis is today's one of the major issues for proper operation of the power systems as the stress on power systems is increasing day by day. In order to improve the power system, it requires an evaluation of system's ability to withstand the disturbances simultaneously maintaining the service quality. For transient stability analysis of power system, various techniques have already been proposed such as extended equal area criteria, the time domain solution and a few direct stability methods such as transient energy function. In most of these methods, a transformation is done from multi-machine system to an equivalent machine as well as an infinite bus system. An analysis of transient stability for the power system using an individual machine is done with the help of an accurate algorithm is done in this paper. This paper describes the fault conditions in the infinite bus bar with the multi-machine system.
Improving beginning literacy skills by means of an interactive computer environment

In this study, both quantitative and qualitative aspects of computer-typed stories were compared to those of handwritten stories. Over a period of one and a half years, a group of 39 children who were in Grade 1 at the beginning of the study produced eight stories each. Each child wrote half of the stories and typed the other half on the computer. By using special software, all time-related aspects of the story-production process were recorded in addition to the actual text of the stories. The written stories were much longer than the ones produced on the computer, but no significant differences were found in the number of spelling errors or in the quality of the stories. Furthermore, more in-depth analysis of the data showed that for young inexperienced pupils the process of writing a story differs substantially from the process of typing a story. 2.
Coloring Outside the Lines: Themes and Trends in Experiential Learning in Communication Commission Sponsored Programs at the (S)NCA 1993-1998 Conferences.

This study conducted a theme analysis of programs sponsored by the Experiential Learning in Communication Commission of the National Communication Association (NCA, formerly the Speech Communication Association, SCA) in order to determine experiential learning structures created outside conventional borders of communication instruction. The philosophical basis for the study was that of experiential learning, which links the concrete with the abstract through experiencing, describing, inferring, and transferring processes. All programs listed in the (S)NCA Conference Programs from 1993-1998 were analyzed for emerging themes, which were then divided into five categories: (1) internships; (2) service learning; (3) outcome assessment; (4) issues; and (5) strategies and techniques. Findings suggest that the members of the Commission create their own boundaries in communication instruction compliant with the principles of experiential learning, and that additional areas of investigation are evident, such as outcome assessment of strategies and techniques as well as theory and method development and evaluation.

Empirical study of teaching presence and critical thinking in asynchronous discussion forums

The discussion forum is a significant component of online courses. Instructors and students rely on these asynchronous forums to engage one another in ways that potentially promote critical thinking. This research investigates the relationships between critical thinking and teaching presence in an asynchronous discussion environment through quasi-experiment, pre-test-post-test design. The results demonstrate that when teaching presence was increased in the discussion forum there was a significant increase in learners’ level of critical thinking.
Advanced Kalman Filtering, Least-Squares and Modeling: A Practical Handbook

This book is intended primarily as a handbook for engineers who must design practical systems. Its primary goal is to discuss model development in sufficient detail so that the reader may design an estimator that meets all application requirements and is robust to modeling assumptions. Since it is sometimes difficult to a priori determine the best model structure, use of exploratory data analysis to define model structure is discussed. Methods for deciding on the “best” model are also presented.
Systems with Session-based Workloads: Assessing Performance and Reliability

Systems with Session-based Workloads: Assessing Performance and Reliability by Nikola Janevski Master of Science in Computer Science West Virginia University Katerina Goseva Popstojanova, Ph.D., Chair Many systems, including the Web and Software as a Service (SaaS), are best characterized with session-based workloads. Empirical studies have shown that Web session arrivals exhibit long range dependence and that the number of requests in a session is well modeled with skewed or heavy-tailed distributions. However, models that account for session workloads characterized by empirically observed phenomena and studies of their impact on performance and reliability metrics are lacking. For assessing performance, we use a feedback queue to account for session-based workloads in a physically meaningful way and use simulation to analyze the behavior of the Web system under Long Range Dependent (LRD) session arrival process and skewed distribution for the number of requests in a session. Our results show that the percentage of dropped sessions, mean queue length, mean waiting time, and the useful server utilization are all affected by the LRD session arrivals and the statistics of the number of requests within a session. The impact is higher in the case of more prominent long-range dependence. Interestingly, both the request arrival process and the request departure process are long-range dependent, even in the case when session arrivals are Poisson. This indicates that the LRD at the request level can be a result of the existence of sessions. For assessing reliability, we propose a framework which integrates (1) the Web workloads defined in term of user sessions, (2) the user navigation patterns through the Web site, and (3) the reliability estimates of the Web requests based on the system architecture; then, we give a detailed reliability model of a Web system based on the proposed framework. We recognize the difficulty of solving the proposed model and use simulation to obtain the results. And last but not least, we use statistical design of experiment to quantify the results and to determine which factors have the highest impact on the system’s reliability. Our results show that some two-way and three-way interactions are very important for the session reliability of Web systems.
