The Implementation of Student Team Achievement Division and Group Investigation Teaching Approaches in Translation 2

This research is a research on the importance of Student Team Achievement Division and Group Investigation as appropriate teaching approaches to solve problems existing in translation 2 at Department of English Teaching Universitas PGRI Madiun. Translation is an interdisciplinary study in which other disciplines play important role. Besides, translation is a study, skill, and art. Suitable teaching approach is required to study translation. This study aims to describe the application of Student Team Achievement Division and Group Investigation in translation 2. The samples in this research are seventh semester students and translator 2 lecturer who is a researcher in this study as well. Data source derived from observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was done with the analysis of interactive models. There are two main activities in the application of Student Team Achievement Division and Group Investigation in translation 2. The first activity that is translating texts in the study groups include analysis, transferring, and restructuring. The members cooperate and overcome existing problems in analyzing texts, looking for the equivalences, and restructuring the translation result. The second activity, namely the presentation of the translation results. Presentation of translation results is done through several steps, namely presentation step-answering and questioning step-revision step-presentation of revision result stepfinal result step. The students who have lower ability in translating text became more enthusiastic because they shared problems with other member who have higher ability so there was improvement of students’ interests and quality of translation. Keywords—Student Team Achievement Division, Group Investigation, Translation 2
Inquiry-based activities and their effects on students’ ability to explain related problem scenarios

This research investigated the impact of several structured inquiry experiments in mechanics and heat on introductory college physics students' ability to solve or make sense of problem scenarios. The students performed experiments where they were guided in discovering for themselves the physical concepts or principles rather than having them verify concepts/principles as in traditional lab classes. At the end of each laboratory activity, students were asked to answer problem scenarios with solutions or answers requiring a direct application of the physical concepts investigated in the laboratory experiment. Our preliminary results indicate that students are able to use the concepts learned from the laboratory activity in explaining problem scenarios only in some topics (e.g. thermal expansion) but not in other topics (e.g. momentum conservation).
Pharmacological Evaluation of Coriander Seeds against High Fat Diet-Induced Cholelithiasis

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) seeds have been documented for their traditional use in lowering cholesterol. The seeds were evaluated for their anticholelithic effects as no satisfactory pharmacological treatment is yet available for cholelithiasis, except cholelithotomy. Cholelithiasis was induced in albino mice by feeding them with high fat diet (HFD) for eight weeks. Treatment group was given 10 % coriander seeds powder (CsS) added in HFD. Experimental animals were analyzed for percent weight gain, total cholesterol levels and cholesterol gallstone grade. Histopathological analysis of gallbladder was also performed. CsS was found to be effective in reducing cholesterol gallstone incidence, preventing hypercholesterolemia and excessive weight gain in experimental animals. The data obtained from the current study justified the therapeutic importance of Coriandrum sativum against cholelithiasis. However, further studies are required to explore the underlying mechanism and to separate active compound(s) responsible for the antilithic potential of C. sativum.

Exploring the Social and Emotional Problems of Undergraduates Business Students of Pakistan: A Qualitative Case Study

: Social and emotional health especially of young adults has been a considerable focus of scholarly research in the past few decades all over the world. Much of which is concerned about the number and statistics of people who are suffering from some kind of mental illnesses. This qualitative case study explored the experiences and perceptions of those business university students who are facing some social and emotional challenges and in this important phase of life which have a potential to be converted into something more serious that is, mental disorders. This research identiﬁed those variables which are responsible for the social and emotional disturbances of young business university students. In addition, this study also examined those variables which are not speciﬁcally related to general culture of a society but to some subcultures which also impact students’ social and emotional health. To understand the experiences and perception of those students this study employed focus group interviews, semi-structured open-ended one-on-one interviews, written responses, and projective technique like Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank (RISB) in the form of self-description, of 15 students at a large private business school in Karachi city. Based on analysis of focus group interviews, RISB, and one-on-one interviews it was found that most of the variables which cause disturbance in students behavior are social, or social psychological, and one’s subculture, speciﬁc brought up environment, daily has-sles and the overall deteriorating conditions of law and order and other factors attributable to institutions play a pivotal role in the development and aggravation of these issues and challenges.

Longitudinal Analysis of T-STEM Academies: How Do Texas Inclusive STEM Academies (T-STEM) Perform in Mathematics, Science, and Reading?

Article History: Received 03.02. 2015 Received in revised form 07.08. 2015 Accepted 21.08. 2015 Available online 12.09. 2015 This study examines standalone inclusive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) schools—T-STEM (Texas STEM) in Texas—that operate as autonomous units. Researchers tracked two cohorts of ninth grade students of T-STEM and non-T-STEM schools between 2008 and 2011 to examine how schools’ performances changed over times by school type in school level reading, mathematics, and science passing scores. To ensure that T-STEM schools and non-T-STEM schools have similar demographic compositions and achievement indicators, propensity score matching was used. After matching, the sample used for the analyses was nine T-STEM versus 27 non-T-STEM schools from 2008 and 18 T-STEM versus 52 non-T-STEM schools from 2009. Multivariate analysis of variance was performed to examine each cohort to determine how schools’ performance changed over three years on mathematics, science, and reading TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) scores. Although each group had statistically significant growth for each of their three-year periods, there was no statistically significant difference between T-STEM schools and non-T-STEM schools. © 2015 IOJES.

On ‘sit’/‘stand’/‘lie’ auxiliation

Abstract This study focuses on the structure ‘sit’/‘stand’/‘lie’ + and + main verb, which has come to express the continuative/durative/progressive in Bulgarian as well as in a number of other languages. It is argued that the auxiliation of ‘sit’/‘stand’/‘lie’+and+main verb results as the “sedimentation” (i.e. grammaticalization) of all-too-common usage of the bodily posture verbs in the languages in which we observe it. The main claims made are that i. the use of the posture-verb construction as an aspectual marker correlates with the use of the posture verbs as the UNMARKED/CANONICAL ENCODINGS OF SPATIAL POSITION OF OBJECTS; ii. the tendency for a language to encode the spatial position of an entity in terms of the notions of sitting, or standing, or lying elevates the corresponding verb structures to the status of basic, most common verb expressions and thus makes them appropriate source structures in auxiliation.
Using STACK to support student learning at masters level: a case study

The development of six online quizzes to support students’ study of an introductory mathematics masters module at The Open University is described and their use evaluated. The quizzes were implemented using the STACK online e-assessment system, which is powered by a computer-algebra engine. Evaluation of student feedback and an initial quantitative study of the effect of engaging with the quizzes on the final examinations marks suggest that further development of e-assessment at mathematics masters level is warranted.

Physics based supervised and unsupervised learning of graph structure

Sinha, Ayan T. Ph.D., Purdue University, August 2016. Physics Based Supervised and Unsupervised Learning of Graph Structure. Major Professor: Karthik Ramani, School of Mechanical Engineering. Graphs are central tools to aid our understanding of biological, physical, and social systems. Graphs also play a key role in representing and understanding the visual world around us, 3D-shapes and 2D-images alike. In this dissertation, I propose the use of physical or natural phenomenon to understand graph structure. I investigate four phenomenon or laws in nature: (1) Brownian motion, (2) Gauss’s law, (3) feedback loops, and (3) neural synapses, to discover patterns in graphs. Random walks is the mathematical formalization of Brownian motion on graphs. I discuss the connection between the Laplace-Beltrami operator governing the diffusion equation and the transition matrix of a random walk. This connection is used to construct multiscale shape signatures with several desirable properties, and applied to shape matching, segmentation and search. Next, I establish a connection between the Laplacian of a general graph and the flux of a potential field over a boundary. This insight is exactly an extension of Gauss law for charge distributions applied to discrete graphs. I design a novel method for data clustering using this law in conjunction with laws of conservation and spectral graph theory. My method to identify community boundaries is significantly more robust to noise than traditional detection of strongly knit modules. Feedback is pervasive in natural as well as artificial systems. I design a new method to separate feedback effects in recommender systems such as Netflix from intrinsic preferences of users. This method is based on a simple deconvolution of an iterative feedback loop common in physical systems that admit feedback. I am able to identify items rec-
The Neuroaesthetics of Music: A Research Agenda Coming of Age

This chapter offers an overview on the state-of-the-art research under the agenda of the neuroaesthetics of music. This research agenda, inspired by the neuroaesthetics of visual art, represents a paradigm shift from neuroimaging studies focused exclusively on music perception, cognition, and emotion to studies that consider aesthetic responses such as liking, preference, and aesthetic judgments. The existing models depicting information processing stages of the musical aesthetic experiences and their loci in the brain are summarized. The latest findings point at a synergy between neural systems, and particularly between superior temporal gyrus and limbic reward areas for issuing aesthetic responses to music. Future challenges for the field are the discovery of the neural mechanisms of inter-subject communication during musical performance leading to an efficacious aesthetic experience.
Recovering Depth from a Single Natural Image Based on Edge Blur Estimation

The traditional methods of Depth from Defocus (DFD) usually need to collect multiple defocus images, which are difficult to realize in practice. In this paper, the authors managed to solve this challenging problem with recovering the depth from a single image taken with an uncalibrated conventional camera. Different from all the existing depth recovering approaches, this approach avoides the collection of multiple images or the usage of deconvolution process, which provides a simple yet effective way to realize depth-recovering in a single image. The amount of defocus blur is obtained by the gradient magnitude ratio between the input and re-blurred images. Sparse blur map is obtained through the estimate of blur amount at the edge regions with the segmentation of images. Complete depth information is then recovered by propagating the sparse blur based on the local mean of edge blur. Experimental results on a variety of images show that the approaches in this paper can acquire a reliable estimation of the depth.
