An approach of system calibration for UAV photogrammetry

As a kind of photogrammetric platform unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually employ amateur digital cameras, the photogrammetric data availability depend on the integrated sensors calibration result and the flight performance, which are great limitations to the UAV systems used in aerial photogrammetry. In this work, a specific workflow for the UAV system calibration in survey field is introduced, first a calibration field built in the survey region by using artificial targets as ground control points, furthermore, a specific flight planning is developed, then we take a fix-wing UAV to implement the survey work. The results for the bundle adjustment are less than 0.5m. which is better than estimated the camera interior orientation parameters(IOP) in the lab. Also the study described which source of errors influenced the UAV photogrammetry and bring forward improvement advice.
Organizational Learning Culture and Its Effects on Critical Thinking Skills on Female Teachers of Public Sector Higher Education Institutions.

Present study determines the effects of organizational learning culture on female teacher‟s critical thinking skills of public sector higher education institutes (HEI) of the Punjab, Pakistan. The questionnaire from Yang (2003) (21-item) of organizational learning culture and from Naieni (2005) (30-1tem) questionnaire on critical thinking skills was adopted. All items are developed on five point likert scale. The values of Cronbach‟s alpha computed for both constructs are high which represent that data on both constructs are reliable. The KMO measure of sample adequacy and Bartlett s‟ test of spehericity authenticate that our data are appropriate for the use of factor analysis. The study employed principal component analysis in order to find the validity of the measure of organizational culture and critical thinking skills. This study collects data from 250 full time female permanent teachers in higher education institutes of Punjab, Pakistan. The findings represent that organizational learning culture significantly affects the critical thinking skills of female higher education female teachers of Punjab.
The MOSDEF Survey: The Nature of Mid-infrared Excess Galaxies and a Comparison of IR and UV Star Formation Tracers at z ∼ 2

We present an analysis using the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey on the nature of “MIR-excess” galaxies, which have star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from mid-infrared (MIR) data that are substantially elevated relative to those estimated from dust-corrected UV data. We use a sample of ∼200 galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at 1.40 < z < 2.61 with 24 μm detections (rest-frame 8 μm) from MIPS/Spitzer. We find that the identification of MIR-excess galaxies strongly depends on the methodologies used to estimate IR luminosity ( ) and to correct the UV light for dust attenuation. We find that extrapolations of the SFR from the observed 24 μm flux, using luminosity-dependent templates based on local galaxies, substantially overestimate in z ∼ 2 galaxies. By including Herschel observations and using a stellar-mass-dependent, luminosity-independent , we obtain more reliable estimates of the SFR and a lower fraction of MIR-excess galaxies. Once stellar-mass selection biases are taken into account, we identify ∼24% of our galaxies as MIR excess. However, is not elevated in MIR-excess galaxies compared to MIR-normal galaxies, indicating that the intrinsic fraction of MIR excess may be lower. Using X-ray-, IR-, and optically selected AGNs in MOSDEF, we do not find a higher prevalence for AGNs in MIR-excess galaxies relative to MIR-normal galaxies. A stacking analysis of X-ray-undetected galaxies does not reveal a harder spectrum in MIR-excess galaxies relative to MIR-normal galaxies. Our analysis indicates that AGN activity does not contribute substantially to the MIR excess and instead implies that it is likely due to the enhanced polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission.
The status of tone in Sesotho: a production and perception study

Sesotho is generally described as a tonal language. This paper describes an investigation into the ability of a group of young speakers of Sesotho to perceive and produce tonal distinctions in Sesotho. In particular, it focuses on the status of the subject concord morpheme in the question phrases o batlang? (2SG; ‘What do you want? ’) and o batlang? (3SG/CL1; ‘What does (s)he want? ’). Thirty young mother tongue speakers aged between 15 and 17 participated in the study, which was conducted over a period of three months. The findings of both experiments clearly showed the functional use of tone by these speakers to be limited, or in some cases even totally absent. These results are suggestive of a system in a state of flux, perhaps indicating the start of an evolutionary process.
Young People’s Attitudes and Motivations Toward Social Media and Mobile Apps for Weight Control: Mixed Methods Study

Background Effective prevention at a young enough age is critical to halt the obesity epidemic. Mobile health (mHealth) apps would potentially reach large numbers at low-cost. While there is already a profusion of lifestyle apps, they are mostly non-evidence-based and evidently ineffective against rising obesity prevalence. Objective The aim of this study was to explore preferences and usage of lifestyle apps among young people in 6 countries. Methods A mixed methods study was conducted among young people aged 13 to 24 years residing in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Singapore, and New Zealand. Participants were recruited from Web advertisements on Facebook, asking for volunteers interested in mobile apps in general, not specific to lifestyle or health, to complete a short survey comprising 18 questions on demographics, weight gain, and mobile app preferences and then to join English-language online focus groups, which were held during 2017, in password-protected Web rooms, moderated by an experienced researcher. Descriptive statistics were carried out for the survey, and thematic analysis was applied to transcripts. Results A total of 2285 young people (610 adolescents aged 13-17 years and 1675 young adults aged 18-24 years) responded and completed the survey, with 72.0% (1645) reported being concerned about weight gain for themselves or friends. Later, 807 young people (376 adolescents and 431 young adults) were selected based on age and country to participate in 12 online focus groups, with 719 young people completing. Analysis revealed 4 main themes: (1) feelings toward personal weight; (2) perception of lifestyle apps and desired content for weight gain prevention; (3) social media apps, lifestyle apps, and motivation for downloading and retaining; and (4) data safety and data usage and confidentiality. Young people are interested in evidence-based advice in programs incorporating their preferences. Conclusions Young people are commonly, and consistently across 6 countries, concerned about weight gain and obesity and would welcome evidence-based mHealth programs, provided the views of young people themselves are incorporated in the program content.
Object-centric temporal navigation for dynamic information visualizations.

We introduce object-centric temporal navigation for exploring time-varying information visualizations. In our approach, navigation through time is controlled by interacting directly with any data item, enabling simultaneous exploration of the time dimension while focusing on the changing item of interest. Subtle visualizations of a data item’s temporal trend are provided to guide navigation. To demonstrate how object-centric navigation can be designed for different types of dynamic visualizations, we created two techniques: DimpVis, for exploring changing visual variables in different types of varying information visualizations, and Glidgets, an interactive glyph-based technique for exploring topological changes in dynamic graphs. Both techniques enable intuitive investigation of spatial queries. For example, using DimpVis to answer “Was this bar ever at 500? ” in a timevarying bar chart, one simply has to drag the bar to that height. Comparative task-based evaluations revealed that DimpVis for the scatter plot was quantitatively competitive with the time slider and small multiples. Additionally, both Glidgets and DimpVis were overall subjectively preferred over the time slider by participants.
People counting based on skeleton feature

Concerning the problem that pedestrians would be partially or seriously shaded by each other in video monitoring,this paper proposed a people counting algorithm based on human body skeleton feature. At first,the initial human skeleton was extracted by morphological skeleton extraction algorithm. Then the optimal skeleton feature was obtained by eliminating outliers and pseudo branches. Finally,this paper established a head detection response rule through analyzing the characteristics of skeleton in head areas to detect the head of pedestrian,and completed people counting by counting the heads of pedestrians. The experimental results show that the algorithm can solve the problems of partial and serious shading in video monitoring. For relatively sparse scene,the overall people counting accuracy rate of the algorithm is about 95%.
Do Specific Combinations of Parent–Child Relationships Predict Moral Values?

ABSTRACT In this study we examined to what extent different combinations of parent–child relationships explain adolescents’ moral values and whether the influence of school and peers predicts moral values. We also investigated whether anticipated shame and anticipated guilt predict moral values. A convenience sample of 1,120 adolescents, including 120 adolescents in youth custody, was used. Results suggest that combinations of parent–child relationships do not predict moral values, that school and peers are significant predictors of adolescents’ moral values, and anticipated shame and guilt do not consistently and equally predict moral values. Results were highly similar for boys and girls.
REAL WORKLOAD CHARACTERIZATION AND SYNTHETIC WORKLOAD GENERATION

In computing, the workload is the amount of processing that the computer has been given to do at a given time. Workloads are two types namely synthetic and real workload. Real workloads are not publicly available and some workloads are available in the internet like Google trace, world cup 98 trace and Clark Net trace. Synthetic workloads are generated based on our experiments. The real trace is downloaded from Google cluster data which consists of two workloads. In first trace it refers to 7 hours period with set of tasks. In second trace it refers to 30 days period of work. Each dataset is packed as set of one or more files, each provided in compressed Common Separated Values(CSV) format. In this paper we are analyzing the Google cluster data version 2 trace in IBM SPSS statistics and generating another workload called synthetic workload with the same characteristics and behavior of real workload based on formulae which is generated using linear regression in IBM SPSS statistics.
An evaluation of a leisure education intervention for adult male residents in a state minimum-security forensic unit: Leisure resources modules

This study was the collaborative effort of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse faculty (Ardovino) and therapeutic recreation practitioners (Fahey, Sprecher, and Froh). The intent of the project was to study the effectiveness of a specific leisure education intervention called “leisure resources modules” at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison, Wisconsin. The leisure resources modules were designed and modified by Sprecher, Froh, and Fahey and were implemented by them as an intervention over the past 10 years in a minimum-security forensic unit. The modules studied were overview of leisure resources, use of the telephone book, use of the library, and use of the newspaper. The intervention was evaluated by examining scores from initial and postintervention screens from the past 6 years. These scores measured the competencies of adult males residing in the minimum security unit. Descriptive statistics were derived from the data, and a paired t test showed a significant difference at the 0.01 level, indicating that the leisure resources modules were an effective leisure education intervention for this population.
From boats to bushes: environmental elements supportive of children’s sociodramatic play outdoors

ABSTRACT Sociodramatic play is a central activity of early childhood, one influenced by the nature of the environment where it occurs. Using the Smilansky Scale for the Evaluation of Dramatic and Socio Dramatic Play (Smilansky and Shefatya, 1990), this study compared the frequency and complexity of the sociodramatic play of two groups of fifteen 4–5 year old children in two preschool outdoor spaces differing in natural elements, resources, and spatial characteristics. Field notes and behaviour mapping were also employed to explore potential associations between the play characteristics, and specific elements and areas of the two spaces. Findings showed the following elements supported more frequent and complex sociodramatic play: a balanced conjunction of man-made resources and significant vegetation and natural loose parts; opportunities for seclusion and lack of overcrowding; linking pathways and open-ended design. The findings have implications for the design of outdoor spaces that support the frequency and complexity of children’s sociodramatic play.
District nurses' experiences of providing palliative care in the home: An interview study

The trend shows that more people are choosing to die at home. Since at home palliative care is often provided by district nurses, their work will be affected, and the burden will increase. The aim of this study was to illuminate district nurses' experiences of providing palliative care in the home. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 district nurses. The interviews were analyzed according to the qualitative content analysis methods that Graneheim and Lundman describe. Findings consist of three main categories with nine subcategories. The conclusion is that collaboration with others is essential. Providing palliative care in the home is both emotionally rewarding and demanding, and the work is additionally time and expertise consuming. District nurses want more resources and organizational changes, such as access to doctors and a palliative home care team who only work with these patients. This would be an advantage both for district nurses and the patients.
A Clustering Method Based on Path Similarities of XML Data

Current studies on storing XML data are focused on either mapping XML data to existing RDBMS efficiently or developing a native XML storage. Some native XML storages store each XML node with parsed object form. Clustering, the physical arrangement of each object, can be an important factor to increase the performance with this storing method. In this paper, we propose re-clustering techniques that can store an XML document efficiently. Proposed clustering technique uses path similarities among data nodes, which can reduce page I/Os when returning query results. And proposed technique can process a path query only using small number of clusters as possible instead of using all clusters. This enables efficient processing of path query because we can reduce search space by skipping unnecessary data. Finally, we apply existing clustering techniques to store XML data and compare the performance with proposed technique. Our results show that the performance of XML storage can be improved by using a proper clustering technique.
Navigating Terminology and Promoting Evidence-Based Practice for Child Language Disorders: Challenges and Solutions for Educators

Diagnostic labels for children with primary, or otherwise unexplained, language disorders range across settings and within the scientific literature. Among other problems, this lack of agreement creates difficulty with the successful employment of evidence-based practice. This article reviews the evolving terminology and addresses issues of inconsistency with a particular focus on instructional opportunities for students in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). The pedagogical approach of problem-based learning (PBL) is well suited to this challenge; a structured model for instruction is reviewed and specific guidelines for educators are suggested.
Communicating without nonprofit organizations on nonprofits’ social media: Stakeholders’ autonomous networks and three types of organizational ties

Research on nonprofit organizations’ (NPOs) social media strategies has focused on the dialogic features of social media to improve organization–stakeholder relationships and elicit stakeholder responses. However, NPOs may initiate different types of relationships with their stakeholders on social media (i.e. flow, representational, and affinity). Stakeholders may also create autonomous networks among themselves beyond simply responding to the NPOs. Based on observations of 100 NPOs’ and stakeholders’ 1-month-Twitter activities, this study captures varying types of NPOs’ ties embedded in social media and examines how each type correlates with stakeholders’ autonomous networks. The results suggest that each type of tie has a different role in autonomous networks. This study provides a nuanced understanding of diverse networks embedded in social media and sheds light on autonomous networks as distinctive virtual communities for NPOs during this era of transformation in collective action and social change, existing at the intersection of loose organizational coordination and individual autonomy.
Natural and traditional family planning methods

Natural family planning refers to the planning of sexual intercourse according to the desire of pregnancy by observing some symptoms occurring in women in the fertile and infertile periods of the menstrual cycle. These family planning methods have advantages, disadvantages, and applying rules. They are effective when properly applied and their rules are followed. Recently, new methods have been added to the previously known methods using electronic equipment. Health care providers should respect the choice of couples' natural family planning methodology, be aware of the options of natural family planning methods, and provide appropriate resources/advice for the correct use of the method chosen by a woman or couple.

IMPROVING THE GRADE EIGHT STUDENTS’ PARTICIPATION AND THEIR READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT BY USING NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER (NHT) TECHNIQUE AT MTs N ARJASA

English is an international language. It is used by many people all over the world. They use it as the first language, the second language, or the foreign language. Moreover, most of the sources of information, including book, science, and technology are written in English. Therefore, people need to master English both in oral and written forms. English is considered as a foreign language in Indonesia. It means that Indonesian people do not use English for daily life. They only learn and practice English when they have English subject at schools. Consequently, mastering English is very difficult for the learners because there are many differences between English and their mother tongue. Based on 2006 curriculum, reading is one of the four skills that should be learn by the students of junior and senior high schools. [1] This skill has a great function in mastering English since reading is a way to get knowledge and information about something. By reading, the students are able to get some information stated in the text. From the explanation above, it can be inferred that mastering reading skill is very important for the students because most activities of English at school usually involve reading. From the preliminary study that was conducted in MTs N Arjasa by doing informal interview with the English teacher on December 5th 2014, it was revealed that most of the grade eight students especially class VIII C still could not achieve the standard requirement score (KKM) of English which was 75. The mean score of the last reading test in class VIII C was 71.3. There were only 45.1 % or 13 students out of 30 students who got the standard score. Their scores were between 75 up to 85. They got the standard score because they always paid attention to the teacher and they could answer the teacher’s questions better than the rest of the students. Obviously, there were 54.9% or 17 students out of 30 students got under the standard score. Their scores were between 65 up to 70. The English teacher said that they found some difficulties in comprehending the words meaning, sentences meaning, and paragraph meaning of the text. Based on the classroom observation done by the researcher on December 8th2014, it was found that those students were passive in the teaching learning process. There were some students who did not pay much attention to the teacher. Moreover, they never answered the teacher’s question seriously. When the teacher delivered a question, they only smiled and talked to each other. Besides, they asked their mates to answer the teacher’s question. It can be said that, the students were less motivated in learning reading comprehension, and actually they did not understand well about the text although the teacher repeated the explanation several times. Based on the problems above, it is important to overcome the students’ participation and their reading comprehension achievement. There are many teaching strategies that can be used to teach reading comprehension. One of them is
A Protocol for Secure Mining of Association principle in HDDs based on QDM

We propose a protocol for secure mining of association principles in horizontally distributed databases. This leading protocol is that of Kantarcioglu and Clifton. Our protocol, like theirs, relies on the quick Distributed Mining (QDM) formula of Cheung et al. that is associate unsecured distributed version of the Apriori principle. The most ingredients in our protocol are two novel secure multi-party algorithms one that computes the union of personal subsets that every of the interacting group of actors hold, and second one that tests the coupling of a component control by one actor in an exceedingly set control by another. Key-Terms: Privacy protective Data processing; Distribute Calculation; Regular Item Sets; Association Principles
TRANSVESTITES AND TRANSEXUAL PEOPLE IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATION

The article aimed to analyze the literature published in the format of scientific articles about the inclusion of transvestites and transsexual in the context of education in Brazil. We identified the descriptors "Education", “Transvestites" and "Transsexuals" in the Virtual Health Library (Dec’s BVS) and collected, in the Periódicos Capes plataform, 232 articles, of which 19 met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, which were analyzed descriptively by pairs, through a literature review protocol elaborated by the authors. As results, eight articles composed the final sample that discuss the inclusion of these subjects from two aspects: Transsexual/ transvestite students transsexual/transvestite teachers. It was noticed that the educational spaces, especially the school, are one of the most hostile spaces for those who break with the norms of gender, being not prepared (and even not being interested) in working the true inclusion of these people.
