Desarrollo de una escala de actitudes hacia el uso de las Tecnologías de la información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la actividad docente

This article reports the process of design and validation of a scale to measure college teachers’ attitudes towards the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching activities. Initially, a 47 item Likert-type scale was designed, in which the statements were tried to represent both the usefulness and drawbacks of using these tools in the teaching process. After submitting the scale to rigorous expert judgment, it was reduced to 32 items. This new scale was piloted in a sample of 176 university professors, just before they had to compulsorily use ICT in his teaching, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. After an item analysis process aimed at verifying their discrimination power, the scale was submitted to reliability and validity testing. Both criterial and construct validation were established.

The reality of the practice of serving leadership dimensions among the heads of the scientific departments at the University of Hafr al-Batin from the point of view of the faculty members of the university

The aim of the research was to investigate the reality of the practice of the dimensions of the servant leadership in the heads of the scientific departments at the University of Hafr Al-Batin. The researcher used the descriptive approach. The tool was in a questionnaire to measure the degree of practice, which was applied to 131 of 600 faculty members Hafr al-Batin with 21.83% of faculty members. The most important results of this study were the following: - The general arithmetic mean for all fields of study reached (3.70) out of (5). This means that the faculty members confirm that the degree of the heads of the departments for the leadership of the servant is high. - that all the terms of the leadership command contained in the questionnaire came at a high and medium level, and finally did not get any of the resolution of the degree of very high, low or very low. - The ranking of the dimensions of the servant leadership according to the degree of the practice of the heads of departments from the point of view of the faculty members ranked in descending order according to the values ​​of the arithmetic averages. It came first after the conceptual skills with an average of 3.76 and came second after empowerment with an average of 3.70. In the third place after the attention to subordinates first with an average (3.65). - There were statistically significant differences in the sex variable at (0.01) in favor of males, and there were no significant differences in the scientific level variable at (0.01). In the light of the results of the research, a number of recommendations and suggestions were presented to enhance the practice of leadership dimensions in the heads of scientific departments at Hafr Al-Batin University and the various Saudi and Arab universities.
An authentication alternative using histogram shifting steganography method

This study aims to develop an authentication alternative by applying the Histogram shifting steganography method. The media used for authentication is image media. Histogram shifting utilizes the histogram of an image to insert a secret message. The developed authentication has implemented the Histogram shifting to insert user credentials into the carrier image. Users can use the steganographic image to log into their accounts. The method extracts the credentials from the image during the login. PSNR test of the steganographic images produces an average value of 52.52 dB. The extraction capability test shows that the method can extract all test images correctly. In addition, this authentication method is also more resistant to attacks common to password authentication.
PDT-Vallex: Czech Valency lexicon linked to treebanks 4.0 (PDT-Vallex 4.0)

The valency lexicon PDT-Vallex 4.0 has been built in close connection with the annotation of the Prague Dependency Treebank project (PDT) and its successors (mainly the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank project, PCEDT, the spoken language corpus (PDTSC) and corpus of user-generated texts in the project Faust). It contains over 14500 valency frames for almost 8500 verbs which occurred in the PDT, PCEDT, PDTSC and Faust corpora. In addition, there are nouns, adjectives and adverbs, linked from the PDT part only, increasing the total to over 17000 valency frames for 13000 words. All the corpora have been published in 2020 as the PDT-C 1.0 corpus with the PDT-Vallex 4.0 dictionary included; this is a copy of the dictionary published as a separate item for those not interested in the corpora themselves. It is available in electronically processable format (XML), and also in more human readable form including corpus examples (see the WEBSITE link below, and the links to its main publications elsewhere in this metadata). The main feature of the lexicon is its linking to the annotated corpora - each occurrence of each verb is linked to the appropriate valency frame with additional (generalized) information about its usage and surface morphosyntactic form alternatives. It replaces the previously published unversioned edition of PDT-Vallex from 2014.
Determination of heavy metals in surface sediment from Pahang river

Heavy metals are one of the imperative contaminants in nature. The goal of the study is to determine the concentration and distribution of aluminium (Al), potassium (K), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn) in sediments of Pahang River. This study was conducted to assess the contamination level of the river based on the metal concentrations kept in the surface river sediment and furthermore assess the harm of the studied metals to the water body. The surface sediment was stored and preserved at 4°C before further analysis. 15 samples were analysed by the X-Ray Fluorescence to assess the concentration of each element in the samples. The average concentration of heavy metals in the sediment decreased in the order of K > Al > Fe > Ca > Mn. The quality of sediments was determined through the assessment of the Enrichment factor (EF), Geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and Pollution load index (PLI). The contamination risk alongside the Pahang River is determined as low.

STRANGER DUNGEONS: 2d6 Algorithms for Classic Fantasy Role-Playing Games

During the 2020 Corona virus crisis in Lombardy, a stranger time, social distancing made it impossible to a group of players to meet and play their favourite role playing game around a table. The game continued through a mobile messaging app, which allowed each participant to roll a standard (6-sided) die that the entire group could see (but not to roll more exotic dice). This lead to the research of variant rules that only required these rolls on part of the players, and we were delighted to discover that the legendary 1971 Blackmoor campaign of Dave Arneson was played with standard dice only. In fact, the primary combat system of the original edition of Dungeons & Dragons by Gygax and Arneson (1974) borrowed from the 2d6-based Chainmail of Gygax and Perren (1971). The present paper regroups the 2d6 algorithms that were playtested in Barrowmaze, an old school megadungeon of Greg Gillespie (2014).
Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning with Context-based Representations

The benefit of multi-task learning over single-task learning relies on the ability to use relations across tasks to improve performance on any single task. While sharing representations is an important mechanism to share information across tasks, its success depends on how well the structure underlying the tasks is captured. In some real-world situations, we have access to metadata, or additional information about a task, that may not provide any new insight in the context of a single task setup alone but inform relations across multiple tasks. While this metadata can be useful for improving multi-task learning performance, effectively incorporating it can be an additional challenge. We posit that an efficient approach to knowledge transfer is through the use of multiple context-dependent, composable representations shared across a family of tasks. In this framework, metadata can help to learn interpretable representations and provide the context to inform which representations to compose and how to compose them. We use the proposed approach to obtain state-of-the-art results in Meta-World, a challenging multi-task benchmark consisting of 50 distinct robotic manipulation tasks.
Medical Image Denoising Algorithm Based on Sparse Nonlocal Regularized Weighted Coding and Low Rank Constraint

Medical image information may be polluted by noise in the process of generation and transmission, which will seriously hinder the follow-up image processing and medical diagnosis. In medical images, there is a typical mixed noise composed of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulse noise. In the conventional denoising methods, impulse noise is first removed, followed by the elimination of white Gaussian noise (WGN). However, it is difficult to separate the two kinds of noises completely in practical application. The existing denoising algorithm of weight coding based on sparse nonlocal regularization, which can simultaneously remove AWGN and impulse noise, is plagued by the problems of incomplete noise removal and serious loss of details. The denoising algorithm based on sparse representation and low rank constraint can preserve image details better. Thus, a medical image denoising algorithm based on sparse nonlocal regularization weighted coding and low rank constraint is proposed. The denoising effect of the proposed method and the original algorithm on computed tomography (CT) image and magnetic resonance (MR) image are compared. It is revealed that, under different σ and ρ values, the PSNR and FSIM values of CT and MRI images are evidently superior to those of traditional algorithms, suggesting that the algorithm proposed in this work has better denoising effects on medical images than traditional denoising algorithms.
Semantic properties of irralis mood in question: non-veridicality and non-factivity

This article concerns the semantico-pragmatic role of the interrogative complementizer (u)lci in Korean. Thus far, compared to (u)nci, which has a variant of interrogative complementizer, (u)lci has received less attention. The main question we address is why (u)lci gives rise to epistemic modal reading (i.e., speaker’s/subject’s uncertainty) in the embedded clause. Given that the core properties of a complementizer can be characterized by the types of main predicates that it takes, the main focus will be the realization of matrix predicates in Korean. For the detailed discussion, we conduct a corpus study and empirically verify that the predicates taking (u)lci should be non-factive and non-veridical. Such a connection is naturally predicated because historically, (u)lci must have been grammaticalized from the combination of the irrealis mood marker (u)l and the bound noun do which leads to the idea that the lexicon of (u)lci in modern Korean has come to have an irrealis mood meaning. Accordingly, there exists a strong tendency to show a gradience between (u)lci and non-veridical predicates.

Le Giannimondo

Dans cette époque actuelle de pandémie de COVID-19, la musique et les musiciens ont étéobligés à se réinventer pour continuer la pratique artistique, étant donné que les activitésculturelles ont été interrompues ou reportées. L’espace de diffusion le plus utilisé a été celuioffert par les nouvelles technologies, en particulier les réseaux sociaux, que les musiciens ontutilisé pour l’organisation de concerts et performances, en live ou enregistrés, afin de ne pasarrêter le flux de la création et de l’inventive musicale. À l’intérieur de ce triste contexte de nosjours, dans une ville du Sud de l’Italie, nous avons pu suivre les activités du Giannimondo. Ils’agit d’un projet crée par un jeune salernitain, Gianni Fiorito, qui a inventé un espace culturelvirtuel sous-forme d’émission en livestreaming Instagram et Facebook. Les épisodes ont eucomme objectif de garder les gens à la maison depuis mars (début des restrictions duGouvernement italien), essayant de proposer des contenus culturels intéressants. Enparticulier, une place de relief a été consacrée à la musique par l’invitation d’artistes afin de lesfaire exprimer à travers des entretiens et par des petites performances. L’événement le plusimportant organisé à l’intérieur du Giannimondo a été le concert du 1er Mai (2020), qui a vu huitheures de performances par trente jeunes artistes, en livestreaming. D’autres activités sontprévues pour accompagner les jeunes et les adultes dans le lent retour à la normalité.Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, musicians—and the music industry—have been forced toreinvent themselves in order to continue the production and dissemination of art, as all culturalactivities have been interrupted or postponed. To this end, the most popular spaces in whichartists have broadcast their work have been made possible by new technologies. Socialnetworks, in particular—which musicians have used to organize concerts and performances,both live and recorded—have allowed these artists to continue the flow of creativity and musicalinventiveness. Within the context of the challenging first months of the pandemic, in a town insouthern Italy, myself and others were able to find some respite by following the activities ofGiannimondo. Created by a young Salernitan, Gianni Fiorito, this was a virtual cultural space inthe form of a recurring Instagram and Facebook livestream show. The episodes, which offeredinteresting cultural content, were produced to encourage people to stay at home after Italiangovernment restrictions began in March 2020. This series became a prominent, online spacededicated to showcasing artists expressing themselves through interviews and shortperformances. The most important event as part of Giannimondo was its May 1 concert, whichsaw eight hours of livestreamed performances by thirty young artists. This series is alsocommitted to planning other activities to support both young people and adults in the slow returnto post-pandemic normalcy.

A Study on Educational Significance and Regionality in Eongandog of Keimyung University Library

본 연구에서는 경북 고령 지역 자료인 계명대 소장본 <언간독>에 나타나는 지역 문화 자료로서의 가치를 살펴보고 이를 토대로 교육적 의의를 살펴보고자 한다. ‘지역성’은 특정 장소와 그 지역에 살아가는 사람들의 모습을 보여 주는 ‘지역 정체성’으로 볼 수 있으며, 지역 교육과정으로서의 교육 내용은 그 지역의 특수성과 지역을 아우르는 국가의 보편성을 함께 보여줄 수 있어야 한다. 2장에서는 국가수준의 2015개정교육과정을 분석하여 계명대 소장본 <언간독>의 교육적 의의를 국어생활사 측면에서 살펴보았다. 선조들의 국어생활이 반영된 계명대 소장본 <언간독>을 통해 지역 국어문화의 가치를 발견하고 국어문화에 대하여 바람직한 태도를 함양할 수 있을 것이다. 3장에서는 계명대 소장본 <언간독>의 지역 문화로서의 가치를 세 가지 측면에서 살펴보았는데 첫 번째로 표지 좌측에 나타난 ‘필사기’와 간행 목적, 다음으로 지역의 명산이 주로 언급되는 ‘고령가곡녀&#4364;&#4510;들등님곡이라’ 가사, 마지막으로 지역의 주요 성씨와 본이 소개된 ‘경상도각셩씨현조관향녹’에 주목하였다. 이를 통해 계명대 소장본 <언간독>이 지니고 있는 지역성과 그 속에 반영된 우리 민족의 보편적 가치관을 찾아 볼 수 있었으며 지역 문화교육 자료로서의 가치를 검증할 수 있었다. 언어 사용자의 실제 언어 사용 맥락이 담겨 있는 계명대 소장본 <언간독>이 국어생활사와 국어사 교육, 지역성과 보편성을 아우르는 교육 자료로 자리매김하기를 기대해 본다.This study aims to explore the possibilities of local curricula based on the trend of the localization policy of curriculum, and seek ways to educate regionality using the Eongandog of Keimyung University Library, which is highly valuable as historical records of North Gyeongsang Province. Regionality can be seen as regional identity, which means the link between a specific place and its residents, and the contents of education as a local curriculum should be able to encompass the speciality of the region and the universality of the nation. Chapter 2 analyzes the 2015 revised national curriculum and examines how to use Eongandog of Keimyung University Library in terms of Korean language life history. Using Eongandog of Keimyung University that reflects the Korean language life history of our ancestors, it may be possible to discover the values of the local Korean language culture and foster a desirable attitude toward the Korean language culture. Chapter 3 explores the value of Eongandog of Keimyung University Library as a local culture in three aspects. First, the paper noted the Pil-sa-gi shown on the left side of the cover and the purpose of its publication. Next, it noted the lyrics of “Go-lyeong-ga-gog-nyeo-jo- deul-deung-nim-gog-i-la,” in which local famous mountains are primarilty mentioned. Finally, it focused on the “Gyeongsangdo-gagsyeongssi- hyeonjogwanhyang-nog,” in which main family names and family clan of the region are introduced. Through this, the paper was able to identify the distinct characteristics of regionality that Eongandog of Keimyung University Library have and the universal values of the Korean people that are reflected in it, and verify the material as a source for local culture and education. It is expected that Eongandog of Keimyung University, which contains the actual context of language usage by language users, may take root as an educational material that spans the education of Korean language life history and Korean language history, regionality, and universality.

Communication channels to build a stronger PEEX network

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In a transdisciplinary and pan-region programme like PEEX, building a strong communications platform with an efficient reach across countries is vital to foster collaborations, announce local findings or events to a wider audience, and build a sense of international community. In addition to its website, PEEX offers a quarterly e-newsletter and online Blog to its community.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The PEEX e-newsletter is sent to ~650 international subscribers, where the majority of readers come from Russia, China, Northern Europe and the USA. It is particularly important given that China and Russia have their own national social media channels like Weebo, WeChat and VK, which are popular alternatives to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Thus, having an online platform that integrates readers from Russia and China is vital for information exchange.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In addition to having an international readership, your article contribution to the PEEX Blog and e-newsletter facilitates your own efforts of dissemination. All articles have their unique web link, hosted in the PEEX blog, and hence can be embedded in your own research group&amp;amp;#8217;s website, news, social media accounts, etc.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The PEEX blog and newsletter welcomes articles from early career scientists. Great examples of these include field work stories that communicate the research aim but also the infrastructure or instrumentation available across the PEEX domain. Additionally, it provides a training opportunity for students to write popular scientific articles.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;UArctic and FutureEarth are both partner programmes of PEEX. As the PEEX newsletter evolves, the aim is to integrate more overlapping relevant news and opportunities across these partners. Presently, UArctic shares the PEEX newsletter among its channels, as part of the thematic network the Arctic Boreal Hub.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Expanding the offer of channels for dissemination within the PEEX community and overall public will allow us to discuss science in a more collaborative, open and inclusive manner.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
