The common compulsory courses at Abant Izzet Baysal University in associate and undergraduate level have been implemented online since the fall semester of 2014-2015 academic year. The instructors of these courses have the first experience of online lecturing at Abant Izzet Baysal University. As distance education is a novel approach for the university and the instructors of the common compulsory course, it is possible that the instructors have problems about online teaching. Thus, the examination of instructors’ opinions about online teaching process is important to enhance the distance education system at the institution. The aim of this study is examine the opinions of instructors of the common online compulsory courses deeply, and, in consideration with the results of the study, make suggestions in order to make contributions in the development of the distance education system. Within the aim of the study, semi-structured and face-to-face interviews were implemented with 12 instructors, and the collected data were analyzed with descriptive techniques. The results of the study showed instructors positive and negative opinions on technology, support, administration, teaching and learning, and content dimensions of online teaching and learning process.

Chameleon, a dynamically extensible and configurable object-oriented operating system

Currently, new algorithms are being incorporated into operating systems to deal with a host of new requirements from multimedia applications. These new algorithms deal with soft real-time scheduling, different memory models, and changes to buffer caching and network protocols. However, old design techniques such as structured programming, global variables and implied dependencies are impeding this development and proof of correctness. Many current operating system research groups are developing extensible systems, where new code can be placed into the system and even kernel layers. A primary difficulty in these efforts is how to avoid adversely affecting reliability and traditional measures of performance. Techniques from the object orientation paradigm are being incorporated to better manage these issues because they have shown promise in improving modularity, information hiding, and reusability. In some cases, these techniques are even being used to build fresh operating systems from the ground up with the goal of easier extensibility and adaptability in the future. The Apertos operating system introduced and implemented many concepts originally alien to operating system research but exhibited unacceptable performance for multimedia applications. This dissertation introduces Chameleon, a new object-oriented operating system that shares the same philosophical approach as Apertos, leveraging meta designs and concepts to deal with the diverse requirements of today's and future multimedia applications. However, Chameleon takes a new and original approach to design and implementation to achieve a high degree of adaptability and retain the performance of a micro-kernel. In Chameleon, the object-oriented paradigm serves as the basis for newly introduced concepts such as AbstractCPU, brokers, and the broker interface hierarchy. Together, AbstractCPU, brokers, and related software engineering techniques such as dynamic class binding serve as a basis for all system management, communication, and for an event-driven model where new events can be defined and dynamically introduced to a running system. The meta design clearly defines a hierarchy of “operating environments” that can be optimized for a particular type of application. As such, hierarchical resource management plays an important role in Chameleon. A minimal set of primitives that is appropriate for hierarchical memory management is defined atop a single address space memory model. Similarly, hierarchical CPU scheduling is employed, as different applications will exhibit different scheduling requirements. Different schedulers may then co-exist on the same CPU. Communication in a hierarchically structured operating system is also detailed. The implementation of the Chameleon structuring concept is presented and analyzed. Standard performance measures are used to compare Chameleon to related research and commercial operating systems. Costs of individual operations are also presented to outline the overheads and gains associated with the Chameleon model.
Segmenting discourse: Incorporating interpretation into segmentation?

Abstract Discourse segmentation is an important step in the process of annotating coherence relations. Ideally, implementing segmentation rules results in text segments that correspond to the units of thought related to each other. This paper demonstrates that accurate segmentation is in part dependent on the propositional content of text fragments, and that completely separating segmentation and annotation does not always yield text segments that correspond to the text units between which a conceptual relationship holds. In addition, it argues that elements belonging to the propositional content of the discourse should necessarily be included in the segmentation, but that inclusion of other text elements, for instance stance markers, should be optional.
The Integrated Cognitive Antisocial Potential (ICAP) Theory

This chapter describes an empirical test of the integrated cognitive antisocial potential (ICAP) theory based on the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD), which is a prospective longitudinal survey of 411 South London males beginning at age 8 years. It describes the ICAP theory and its contrasting of between-individual differences in long-term antisocial potential and within-individual variations in short-term antisocial potential. The chapter then describes the CSDD, its research on two generations of males, and its measurement of comparable risk factors in the two generations. A new test of the development of long-term antisocial potential in the ICAP theory is then presented. This chapter concludes that predictions from the ICAP theory have generally been supported.
Method for controlling fast-steering mirror driven by voice coil motor based on the closed-loop performance

A control loop model for fast-steering mirror driven by voice coil motor is established and practical object parameters have been identified by this model. According to the closed-loop performance of voice coil motor, a controller is designed through an inverse design method based on the optimal 2-order property of ideal closed-loop. The method only needs to adjust two control parameters (damping coefficient and inherent frequency) and a better practical effect can be obtained. In this way the simplicity and applicability of controller design are realized. The test and simulation results show that the effect of the method is obvious with disturbance rejection bandwidth up to about 1/6 of the sampling frequency and the closed-loop bandwidth up to 1/5 of the sampling frequency.

Exploring efficient and scalable omniscient debugging for MDE

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has emerged as a software development paradigm that can assist in separating the issues of the problem space of a software system from a particular solution space of implementation. MDE approaches often use customized domain-specific modeling languages that capture the intent of a particular group of end users through abstractions and notations that fit a specific domain of interest. In MDE, the execution and evolution of models is commonly defined using model transformation languages, which can be used to specify the distinct needs of a requirements or engineering change at the software modeling level, or defining directly executable models. Like more traditional software development artifacts, both model transformations and executable models are subject to human error, and common software engineering practices (e.g., debugging) are still prevalent in MDE. The primary thrust of the work described in this dissertation concerns investigating the application of omniscient debugging in an MDE context. The work also explores how developers form and use queries during debugging tasks, thereby promoting a better understanding of the types of data developers seek during debugging tasks and how tool support can assist developers during these activities. Furthermore, as distributed development becomes ever more prevalent, I explored supporting collaborative development processes (e.g., paired debugging) in a distributed modeling environment. The work presented in this dissertation has impacted the MDE community by developing new applied techniques and provided an improved understanding of the process used by developers during debugging tasks.
Multi-Instance Learning Models for Automated Support of Analysts in Simulated Surveillance Environments

New generations of surveillance drones are being outfitted with numerous high definition cameras. The rapid proliferation of fielded sensors and supporting capacity for processing and displaying data will translate into ever more capable platforms, but with increased capability comes increased complexity and scale that may diminish the usefulness of such platforms to human operators. We investigate methods for alleviating strain on analysts by automatically retrieving content specific to their current task using a machine learning technique known as Multi-Instance Learning (MIL). We use MIL to create a real time model of the analysts' task and subsequently use the model to dynamically retrieve relevant content. This paper presents results from a pilot experiment in which a computer agent is assigned analyst tasks such as identifying caravanning vehicles in a simulated vehicle traffic environment. We compare agent performance between MIL aided trials and unaided trials.
Space, Time and Episodic Memory: the Hippocampus is all over the Cognitive Map

In recent years, the field has reached an impasse between models suggesting that the hippocampus is fundamentally involved in spatial processing and models suggesting that the hippocampus automatically encodes all dimensions of experience in the service of memory. Here, we consider key conceptual issues that have impeded progress in our understanding of hippocampal function, and we review findings that establish the scope and limits of hippocampal involvement in navigation and memory. We argue that space and time serve as a primary scaffold to break up experiences into specific contexts, and to organize multimodal input that is to be associated within a context. However, the hippocampus is clearly capable of incorporating additional dimensions into the scaffold if they are determined to be relevant in the event-defined context. Conceiving of the hippocampal representation as constrained by immediate task demands—yet preferring axes that involve space and time—helps to reconcile an otherwise disparate set of findings on the core function of the hippocampus.
PENGARUH KARAKTERISTIK PERUSAHAAN DAN SERTIFIKASI LINGKUNGAN TERHADAP PENGUNGKAPAN CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

Keterlibatan perusahaan dalam CSR bisa dikarenakan dua motivasi yang berbeda. Beberapa perusahaan percaya dengan melakukan CSR maka perusahaan akan memeroleh keunggulan kompe- titif yang membedakan dengan pesaingnya sehingga memungkinkan perusahaan mencapai hasil ekonomi yang lebih baik (Resource Based Theory). Perusahaan lain terlibat dalam CSR untuk memenuhi harapan stakeholders sehingga CSR dan pelaporannya merupakan alat legitimasi untuk menunjukkan kepatuhannya terhadap harapan tersebut (Legitimacy Theory). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari bukti empiris mengenai pengaruh pengalaman internasional, kedekatan konsumen dan perolehan sertifikasi lingkungan terhadap luas tidaknya pengungkapan CSR dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori Legitimacy. Dengan menggunakan target populasi perusahaan manufaktur terbuka di BEI yang membuat laporan CSR pada tahun 2011 dan 2012, diperoleh sampel sebanyak 168 firm years. Dengan menggunakan uji analisis regresi berganda diperoleh hasil tidak ada pengaruh signifikan antara variabel pengalaman internasional, kedekatan konsumen dan sertifikasi lingkungan terhadap pengungkapan CSR. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan masukan kepada pemerintah untuk mewajib- kan perusahaan melakukan pengungkapan CSR dengan menyediakan pokok-pokok yang harus diungkapkan. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) bisa digunakan sebagai panduan pengungkapan CSR karena sudah diakui secara universal.
Collaborative Partnerships Between Community Colleges and High Schools

A key concern in education today is the overwhelming number of students who leave high school unprepared for college in the core courses of English and math. More and more students are entering college having to take developmental courses. A high number of those students are students in the state of Mississippi. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how educational stakeholders perceive the need for implementation of college preparedness and developmental education courses for students with developmental deficiencies in urban high schools in Mississippi. The researcher used Tinto’s (1993) theory of integration and retention, Astin’s (1993) theory of student involvement, and Bandura’s (1993) theory of self-efficacy to outline the conceptual framework that supported the assumption that educators would perceive that a collaborative means for remedial and developmental education prior to high school graduation will result in a positive and significant impact on student college success. The study consisted of 20 educators from three high schools and two community college branches in urban Mississippi. The researcher conducted research using three data collection tools: Phase I Qualtrics Survey, Phase II Face-to-Face Interviews, and Phase III Focus Group Sessions. The results of the study indicated that the educators perceived the need for identification and intervention early in students’ academic careers in order to reduce college unpreparedness. The findings also indicated the need for a revamping of high school curriculums to mirror college expectations and closer collaboration between the institutions to reduce the number of students who graduate
Social Media in the Academic Life of International Students in Turkey: A Survey Study

As social media becomes the ideal space of sharing information in a simple and convenient way, it continues to attract numerous scholarly studies. This paper investigates the peculiarity of social media in the academic life of international students in Turkey, with an aim of ascertaining the social media tools used by international students. Secondly is to scrutinize the academic purposes of social media usage among international students in Turkey. The third objective is to determine the academic benefits attained by international students in the usage of social media. This study was inclined in the Uses and Gratification theory, the researcher considered a randomly selected sample of international students in Istanbul City. Due to the nature of this study both qualitative and quantitative approaches were applied. Thus semi- structured interviews and questionnaires were used to get data on a randomly selected sample. Observantly, social media platforms found vital in the academic life of international students included; YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter. In the same way, findings indicates that international students frequently use social media for more than twice a week to interact with their course mates as an encouragement for studying outside classroom. Remarkably, international students benefit from social media as they use You Tube to watch educational video clips on lectures delivered from other universities to widen on their understanding on a particular subject. Equally, Facebook and Whatsapp were purposely for instant messaging, sharing academic information about study topics with classmates and professors, arranging study groups and asking for help with studies. This paper correspondingly concludes that despite the potentiality of the social media in the academic sphere, it cannot go unnoticed that international students use it for other benefits especially for creating new friendship in and outside Turkey, sharing ideas and information plus communicating to their families and friends in their home countries about social and current affairs.
Industrial Revolution 4.0: Critical Thinking Skills in Vocational Education

Research is presented to map State Vocational High School (SMKN) in Boyolali based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) owned by students. HOTS is indispensable in facing critical thinking skills in the 21 st century. The research used uses a qualitative type of survey approach. Students in vocational schools are given cognitive questions oriented to HOTS which refers to Bloom's taxonomy, in the form of evaluating, analyzing, and creating. Questions are presented in multiple choice forms and have been validated with the questmaster program. The results showed that HOTS owned by students in Boyolali Vocational High School was still relatively low, ie 36% at SMKN 1 Kleco, 37% in SMKN Nogosari, and 41% in students at SMKN 1 Klego.
The Effects of Using a Triangulation Approach of Evaluation Methodologies to Examine the Usability of a University Website

The objective of this study was to evaluate the current University of Maryland, Baltimore County website and identify problems that could be addressed in an upcoming re-design project. In meeting this objective, we used a combination of evaluation methods in order to triangulate and collect different perspectives on the problems. Heuristic evaluations were performed to gain an overview of the problems with the website. A total of fifty-four Information Systems students participated in this particular portion of the study. Next, focus group sessions were conducted to seek out what individuals want and need from the site, along with specific problems encountered. And finally, thirteen subjects performed usability testing to examine specific issues concerning navigation. Together, these methods provide three different but synergistic perspectives. By gathering test data, observing users, and interviewing a range of individuals on campus, we were able to collect a wide variety of information that was compiled, analyzed, and formally reported to the design group. The analysis of the data collected from the three techniques revealed several key issues in which expert recommendations were made for website redesign. But more importantly, the result of using a triangulation approach in this research illustrates the value of combining
Anthropocene Dynamics in the Prehistoric Pacific

How will human societies evolve in the face of the massive changes humans themselves are driving in the earth systems? Currently, few data exist with which to address this question. I argue that archaeological datasets from islands provide useful models for understanding long-term socioecological responses to large-scale environmental change, by virtue of their longitudinal dimension and their relative insulation from broader biophysical systems. Reviewing how colonizing humans initiated biological and physical change in the insular Pacific, I show that varied adaptations to this dynamism caused diversification in social and subsistence systems. This diversification shows considerable path dependency related to the degree of heterogeneity/homogeneity in the distribution of food resources. This suggests that the extent to which the Anthropocene modifies agroeconomic land surfaces toward or away from patchiness will have profound sociopolitical implications.

Encouraging Broker and Adviser Background Checks: A Randomized Study on Twitter

We conducted a randomized online study of messaging on twitter to encourage retail investors to check the background of their investment professional. Our study tested different tweets attempting to motivate investors by emphasizing aspirations, mistrust, and loss aversion. We found that our motivational tweets did not perform better than our control informational tweet. In contrast, there appears to be evidence that shorter, simpler calls to action worked best in promoting views, engagements, and clicks on the SEC website. There is also some evidence of greater (lower) engagement at the beginning (end) of the week. Finally, there was only limited attrition in views and engagements over time with high turnover in accounts engaging tweets over the course of the study.
