YUE Virtual Park: Multi-sensory experience creative cultural products based on AR technology

This paper presents a study in which mobile technology was used to build a mobile app for the promotion of regional Chinese culture. We used traditional Cantonese nursery rhymes as the basis for our work. These were recorded as sound files, illustrated and combined with Augmented Reality technology to create a multi-sensory experience for the user. We used Android Studio to build the application and implement the main functions. Unity3D was used to implement the AR functions. The purpose of developing this app is to promote the culture of Cantonese nursery rhymes and assist in classroom teaching. For the testing, the primary school students are mainly supplemented by foreign friends. In the process of using this app, there are three small games built in, each of which can learn Cantonese nursery rhymes. The app was evaluated in a primary school classroom-teaching environment. More than 1,000 students were exposed to it over a period of five days. After a week of trials we returned to the school to conduct a return visit survey. We are constantly making changes and improvements to the app following feedback from schools.
Design and development of an online game for older people from a usability perspective

This thesis describes the design and development of an online game designed for older people. Special consideration of the characteristics, needs and wishes of older people has been taken. An iterative design process which includes user involvement has been used throughout the project to guarantee a user-friendly application. The game will be integrated with a videophone application in an existing health care system and the goal is to provide an entertaining and educational game for older people. The aims of the project is to create a socially stimulating and entertaining game as well as improve the users’ perceptual-motor skills and cognitive capabilities. Older people are not a homogeneous group but have following in common, changes in; vision, hearing, dexterity, and brain function that begins to decrease. Recommendations of how to design for these special needs are presented as well as general guidelines for interaction design. Based on these recommendations as well as feedback from users, a word game called ACTIONPET has been developed and evaluated. Results from user tests imply that the game is easy-to-use and suit the users’ needs.
Indonesian Bajau (East Lombok)

Bajau is spoken as the primary language from the Philippines to Borneo to eastern Indonesia, by both nomadic and settled communities. It is also known as Badjaw, Badjo, Bajao, Bajo, Bayo, Gaj, Indonesian Bajaw, Orang Laut, Sama, and Terijene; see Simons & Fennig 2017. Glottolog.org lists ‘Indonesian Bajau’ as a language spoken on the south-eastern coast of Sulawesi, glottocode indo1317 and ISO 639-3 bdl. Clifton (2010) claims the population of Bajau speakers is 700,000–900,000, with around 150,000–230,000 in eastern Indonesia (Sather 1997) and 92,000 in Sulawesi (Mead & Lee 2007). There are also Bajau-speaking populations in the Philippines and Borneo (Jun 2005); see Figure 1. Bajau is classified as a threatened Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian language (Simons & Fennig 2017). It has been proposed that the language originated in the Zamboanga-Basilan area in southern Philippines (Jun 2005 citing Pallesen 1985).
Estudo exploratório da Coesão em atletas juniores de futebol

O objetivo foi investigar a coesão em atletas de futebol júnior. Foram analisados 162 atletas que participaram da Copa São Paulo. Para avaliar a coesão foi utilizado o Questionário de Ambiente de Grupo (QAG). Na análise estatística exploratória foram realizadas análises de estatísticas descritivas, análise multivariada de variância (MANOVA) e ANOVA para medidas repetidas ambas com post hoc teste de Bonferroni. Os resultados apontaram para níveis de coesão acima da média esperada tanto na dimensão “envolvimento pessoal” quanto “para a equipe” e a maior incidência de resultados importantes estatisticamente foram encontrados na comparação entre as posições de jogo. Parece ser possível indicar que as diferenças entre os níveis de coesão estão mais presentes quando analisamos a posição de jogo do que para idade, escolaridade e tempo de prática. Portanto, está mais centrada nas dinâmicas relacionais de grupo do que em características individuais dos atletas.
The Development of Guidelines on Promoting Bicycle Use for Tourism in Khao Yai National Park

At present, bicycle use for both health and tourism is supported but it is found that most Thai people do not popularly use bicycles. This study aimed to seek for the factors promoting Thai people to use bicycles by choosing KhaoYai National Park, where there are a large number of tourists, to be studied with the application of the Theory of planned behavior-TPB. The factors, which were considered, included Attitude, Subjective norm, Perceived behavioral control, and Additional factors which were the factor of infrastructure, and number of bicycle possession in the family. The data used in this study were 429 Thai tourists. The data analysis was done by using Structural Equation Modeling. From data analysis, it was found that Perceived behavioral control, Subjective norm, and Attitude influenced behavioral intention in bicycle use at statistical significance 0.01. For Infrastructure, and number of bicycle possession in the family, they positively influenced behavioral intention in bicycle use in KhaoYai National Park at statistical insignificance. This study can be used as guidelines for the government or involved organizations to determine the pertinent policies on promoting bicycle use.

Corneal cross-linking

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) entails the use of ultraviolet light with a cross-linking agent to form cross bridges in the corneal collagen fibers with subsequent strengthening of the corneal stroma. CXL was first reported on humans in 2003 for patients with keratoconus. Since then, the procedure showed promising results in post-LASIK ectasia. One of the new applications of CXL is in infectious keratitis. In this review, the authors discuss the applications of CXL and cover the new advances in this field. CXL is still not US FDA approved in the USA.

Do Deaf Learners Reach the Necessary Linguistic Comprehension?

ABSTRACT The advance of new hearing technologies has generated high expectations regarding the development and learning of deaf children, but little research has been done on the language levels of this generation of deaf learners who receive education at the same pace as their hearing peers. The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between academic competence (AC) in Spanish Literacy and Mathematics and linguistic comprehension of deaf Spanish students who are attending Primary Education in general classrooms. Scores on lexical and grammatical comprehension showed that most of them were below their chronological age, and the age gap was greatest for grammatical comprehension. Results showed significant differences both in lexical and grammatical levels when comparing deaf students with different levels of AC. Probing deeper into the relation between grammatical comprehension and AC, certain types of complex grammatical structures have been found related with a better Spanish Literacy. The intervention in linguistic competence should be included in a general programme of intervention in oral and written language.
Cannabis Use and Social Cognitive Ability

Over the past decade, the United States has had a 58% increase in the number of daily or near-daily cannabis users. Frequent cannabis users are at increased risk for developing cannabis use disorders (CUDs) and psychosocial dysfunction is a key criterion for CUDs. Recent studies demonstrate the association between cannabis use and interpersonal dysfunction, such as perceiving others to be more hostile, being socially withdrawn, and being less genuine during social interactions. One approach to better understand the interpersonal dysfunction associated with cannabis use frequency is by examining cannabis users’ social cognitive abilities. The present study aimed to explore performance on an emotion recognition (Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test; RMET) and on mentalizing (Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition; MASC), as two subcomponents of social cognitive abilities, in recent cannabis use and lifetime cannabis use by assessing varying use frequency, quantity, and duration. Results revealed that in a wide range of cannabis users, the number of days of recent cannabis use and the cumulative amount of cannabis they have been exposed to was not associated with social cognitive abilities.

Communication skills among Persian children with autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and learning disability

ABSTRACT This study investigated the communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Hilde M Geurts & Mariëtte Embrechts), and learning disability (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts) using the Children Communication Checklist to identify any commonalities in communication profile among these conditions. Participants were 60 children with age ranges of 6.0–9.11 years (Mean = 8.2, SD = 1.21) that assigned equally into three groups: ASD, ADHD, and LD. All children were diagnosed by psychiatric according to DSM-V criteria. The differences among groups were significant on the Syntax, Coherence, Context, Rapport, Social and Interests. There were no significant differences between ADHD and LD groups on general communication measures and pragmatic composite. These findings revealed a very different picture and suggested more differences than similarities among children with ADHD, ASD, and LD.
Understanding Expectations: The Influence of Educator and Child Expectations on Kindergarten Childrenâ s Self-Regulation, Early Reading, and Vocabulary Outcomes

This dissertation is comprised of two studies. Study 1 is a qualitative study exploring the factors that may contribute to the formation of educator expectations in Kindergarten. This study presents emerging themes from an educator questionnaire that asked Early Childhood Educators and teachers to describe their teaching philosophies, roles, teaching practices, and other interactions that support students. Findings revealed key distinctions in educator responses to the questionnaire. Early Childhood Educators responded with a child-centred focus that was reflected in multiple themes. A teacher-directed, structured lens was evident in the themes that emerged from the teachers. This study presents the necessary background information to understand the differences in the two groups in terms of how their expectations may be formed and in turn may affect processes leading to child outcomes. Study 2 is an empirical study examining the influence of educator and child expectations on children’s self-regulation, early reading and vocabulary outcomes. Study 2 compared the expectation levels of the Early Childhood Educators and teachers. Results indicate that Early Childhood Educator and teacher expectations were congruent at Time
Influencer Detection of Indonesia Citizens’ Opinion toward Chemical Castrated Punishment for Perpetrators of Pedophile Using Social Network Analysis

The research leading to pedophile case with the data in the last two years produced one influencer of 500-twitter status with value degree of 0,311 and sentiment positive influence 84%, negative 15%.
Effects of a Class-Wide Positive Peer Reporting Intervention on Middle School Student Behavior

Class-wide behavioral interventions are a feasible and effective method to support the behavior of all students. In six peer-reviewed studies, Tootling, a class-wide intervention that combines positive peer reporting with an interdependent group contingency, has increased positive peer reports and academically engaged behavior (AEB), and decreased disruptive behavior (DB). However, no prior studies have been conducted with middle school students, and none have employed strategies to promote enduring behavior change. A withdrawal design with maintenance phase, implemented across two middle school classrooms, found moderate effects (nonoverlap of all pairs [NAP] = 0.74, Tau-U = −0.48) of Tootling on decreasing DB and moderate to large effects (NAP = 0.76, Tau-U = 0.68) on increasing AEB, although internal threats to validity prevented the demonstration of a clear functional relationship across both classrooms. Results from the maintenance phase, in which the group contingency reward was removed, suggest promising strategies to support durable behavioral change. Limitations of the present study, directions for future research, social validity, and implications for practice are discussed.
Push and Pull Travel Motivations of Chinese University Students to Egypt

The rapid growth of China‟s outbound tourism market has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. However, literature is still sparse in this concern. Despite the long historic relation between Egypt and China, and the great variety of Egyptian tourism products, Egypt gets a small market share from the Chinese outbound tourism market. This paper presents an analysis for the pull and push travel motivations, which affect the Chinese University Students decision to travel for tourism. This analysis in particular will highlight the push and pull motivations of the potential travellers of Chinese universities students and give a helping hand to the Egyptian decision makers to assess and rebuild an Egyptian Tourism Marketing Strategy towards Chinese university student market segment.
Measurement Development and Evaluation

Psychological measurement is at the heart of organizational research. I review recent practices in the area of measurement development and evaluation, detailing best practice recommendations in both of these areas. Throughout the article, I stress that theory and discovery should guide scale development and that statistical tools, although they play a crucial role, should be chosen to best evaluate the theoretical underpinnings of scales as well as to best promote discovery. I review all stages of scale development and evaluation, ranging from construct specification and item writing, to scale revision. Different statistical frameworks are considered, including classical test theory, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and item response theory, and I encourage readers to consider how best to use each of these tools to capitalize on each approach's particular strengths.
Potential conflicts between ownership rights and environmental protection: Swedish undergraduate students’ views

Abstract This study examines the perspectives of Swedish undergraduate students regarding potential conflicts between ownership rights and environmental protection. Conceptions of ‘ownership’ are relevant in relation to the environment and environmental protection as they can highlight a more transboundary relationship between the individual/society and nature. Students studying economics, law and political science were chosen because of their potential future transformative roles as decision makers and policy makers. Content analysis was employed to examine the written responses of 747 students from seven different universities to the open-ended survey question: Can ownership rights and environmental protection come into conflict? Students’ responses were measured twice: at the very beginning of the first semester and then again at the end of the semester. The results show that students expressed a dominant view of ownership in terms of individual ownership, and associations to collective ownership were largely absent. In regards to the potential conflict between ownership rights and environmental protection, most students perceived such a conflict, and it was more common for the environment to be conceptualised as the losing party rather than the landowner. More research is needed regarding how teaching and instruction can deal with the potential conflicts between ownership (private/corporate/governmental) and environmental protection.
A Preliminary Study on Learning Autonomy

This preliminary study, which was carried out with the participation of 408 students and 25 English teachers at a private school in Ankara, aimed to investigate both the students and the teachers’ learning autonomy. In the first phase of the study, the students and the teachers’ perceptions of autonomous learning were explored. In the second phase, the teachers’ states/needs of autonomy were investigated through a semistructured interview form which was designed on the basis of the findings obtained in the first phase. The activities used in the current curriculum, and the correlation between the students’ scores obtained from standard tests and self-assessment checklists were also examined. Suggestions were discussed to develop an ELT curriculum based on the philosophy of autonomous learning.
Are More Financial Sophisticated Executives Overconfidents and Optimists

Competitiveness in top executive job market, and the companies search for Chief Executive Officer (CEO) qualification may lead that professional to overestimate his abilities and/or to underestimate the risks in decision making process, increasing his propensity to present the cognitive biases of overconfidence and optimism (ECO). Hence, the present work aimed to identify the relationship among the Financial Sophistication of CEO's and the Cognitive Biases Overconfidence and Optimism. The sample approached 179 companies listed at BM&FBovespa during the periods from 2011 to 2015, totaling 810 observations. We used the principal components analysis to build three financial sophistication indexes: Academic Financial Sofistication Index (ISFA), Professional Financial Sofistication Index (ISF), and Financial Sophistication Index (ISF), which is a composition of the first two. We perform Data analysis using a multivariate linear regression method, to test the relations. The results pointed that despite the ISF is not related to the ECO biases, the ISFA was positively and significantly related to the ECO, indicating that CEOs with international training, financial training and experience in the field are likely to present deviations cognitive ECO.
