Asymmetric effects of speaking rate on voice-onset time: The case of Russian

Cumulative cross-linguistic studies have revealed asymmetries regarding the effects of speaking rate on voice-onset time of stop consonants.This paper reports the effects of speaking rate on VOT of lenis and fortis stops in Russian, an area of enquiry that has not been reported in previous literature.The overall results of the acoustic study indicated that lenis stops (pre-voiced VOT category) were greatly affected by changes in speaking rate, whereas fortis stops (short-lag VOT category) were only minimally affected.These results were consistent with those found for various other languages.The results also indicated that VOT distribution of Russian lenis and fortis categories only slightly overlap, even under the changes in speaking rate.
IMPROVING STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL IN DESCRIPTIVE TEXT BY USING MIND MAPPING TECHNIQUE AT SMP SWASTA PENCAWAN MEDAN

The ability to write is one component of language that is very important in human life. A person's ability to write can express ideas and thoughts to achieve goals and benefits. This study aims to determine the ability of students of class VIII A Medan Pencawan Private Middle School to write descriptive text by using mind mapping techniques. The research subjects consisted of 28 students. This study was conducted by applying two tests The results of research in the Pre-Test that did not.use mind mapping techniques showed that the average value of students ie 34.11 did not meet the KKM. Because students' interest in writing descriptive texts is still low and only a few are enthusiastic. And after the mind mapping technique was applied there was an increase in the learning process of writing descriptive texts. This is indicated by the increasing interest of students and their enthusiasm and the average results on the second test or Post-Test increased to 84.68. Thus, it can be concluded that mind mapping techniques can improve students' writing abilities in descriptive text.
VR cinema. Virtual spectacle as a dream

The essay analyzes the meaning of the term immersion in relation to its application in modern cinema, explores the significance of physiological sensations in the perception of artistic and entertaining VR content, and discusses the main features of the aesthetics of 360 spherical video.&#x0D; In a state of immersion, a person ceases to psychologically perceive the screen as a repeater of an artificially created world, actually merging with the surrounding space. This technology, embodied in VR films, poses many still unresolved issues: the management of the subjects attention, the role of editing, the quality of sound, the use of music, film narration, the participation of the viewer in a film's events, work with light and color.&#x0D; The VR video format with a 360 overview is used in many areas: music videos, virtual tours, documentary travels, independent dives into art works, digital painting, and installations. In all these cases, the viewer feels like an observer, finding himself in the very center of an infinite, all-encompassing virtuality.&#x0D; In contrast to the traditional film that appeals to the mass consciousness of the audience, the viewing of VR content is aimed at the personal self-awareness of the individual. Images perceived in this format have a potentially higher impact on the human psyche and the human unconscious because they are remembered more vividly as a result of the complex involvement in the personalized experience here and now. The ability of the author-artist to create for the viewer an emotionally saturated dream with the psychological fusion of the subject and the space takes place is a qualitatively new quality of VR dives, a feature uncharacteristic of traditional visual arts.

Quantitative image analysis for immunohistochemistry

Precision medicine currently demands precision diagnostics. As a result, anatomical pathology has transitioned from qualitative to more quantitative reporting of immunohistochemistry (IHC) results. The most widely employed quantitative image analysis (QIA) performed clinically by pathology laboratories is for breast biomarkers (ER, PR, HER2). Compared to manual assessment, QIA offers (1) better precision and accuracy of quantitative measurements, (2) standardisation and more reproducible results, especially for intermediate categories and complex scoring systems, and (3) automation which reduces the time consumption for pathologists, especially for performing mundane tasks like counting. However, QIA results can be affected by numerous variables. Pre-analytical variables include tissue handling, slide preparation, stain variation, and image acquisition (e.g., whole slide scanner differences). Analytical variation may be attributed to different image file formats and compression, tumour heterogeneity, analysing different regions of interest (e.g., hot spots), artifacts (e.g., tissue folds, air bubbles, crushed tissue, overlapping cells), and counting errors (e.g., cells between frames). Post-analytical variables include human interpretation error and result discrepancies. Recent QIA guidelines from the College of American Pathologists1 have helped address some of these concerns by providing recommendations for improving the reproducibility, precision, and accuracy of QIA for HER2 by IHC. These guidelines assist pathologists with appropriate algorithm selection, validation for clinical use, calibration using controls, training of laboratory personnel, reporting of results, performance monitoring, and retention requirements for image and computed test results. These guidelines can be extrapolated for similar QIA lab tests, and will hopefully enhance the adoption of QIA in pathology. Reference1.Bui MM, Riben MW, Allison KH, et al.

THE POTENTIALITIES OF CORPUS-BASED TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYZING LITERATURE

This paper presents an attempt to explore the analytical potential of five corpus-based techniques: concordances, frequency lists, keyword lists, collocate lists, and dispersion plots. The basic question addressed is related to the contribution that these techniques make to gain more objective and insightful knowledge of the way literary meanings are encoded and of the way the literary language is organized. Three sizable English novels (Joyc's Ulysses, Woolf's The Waves, and Faulkner's As I Lay Dying) are laid to corpus linguistic analysis. It is only by virtue of corpus-based techniques that huge amounts of literary data are analyzable. Otherwise, the data will keep on to be not more than several lines of poetry or short excerpts of narrative. The corpus-based techniques presented throughout this paper contribute more or less to a sort of rigorous interpretation of literary texts far from the intuitive approaches usually utilized in traditional stylistics.

Communication Strategies Used by Teacher

This thesis was aimed to find teacher communication strategies during classroom interaction. This research was conducted in SMP SWASTA Brigjend Katamso 1 Medan. The subject of this research was the English Teacher. We used a qualitative approach, more specifically classroom discourse analysis, in analyzing this study since the source of the data were communication strategies which are used by an English teacher in communicating with her students during an English teaching-learning activity. We took the data by recording 90 minutes of English Lessons. We used Faerch and Kasper as a framework for this data analysis, for the reason of its specification and newness. The result showed that the five strategies used were repetition. From those strategies, code-switching was the strategy that was most frequently used by the teacher during the process of teaching and learning. The teacher`s reasons for applying those communication strategies were to overcome the communication barriers that occur between the teacher and the students to help the students understand and memorize the material more accessible. The result of the interview also showed that the students had a good perception of the implementation of communication strategies used by the teacher in the classroom.&#x0D; Keywords: Achievement strategies, Communication strategies, Reduction strategies, Teacher

Blockchain-based Governance for Social Welfare in the Forestry

While the future must be aligned more ecologically, different intensive challenges arise for the society. We exemplify these challenges by the multi objectives of a forest, since it offers renewable resources, conserves biodiversity, acts as a carbon sink, and provides recreational functions in a simultaneous manner. We approach the forest management problem (FMP) by using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) with diverging stakeholder preferences as input and social welfare across participating stakeholders as output. To reach social welfare, we focus on mechanism design to gather truthful stakeholder valuations. Hence, this research in progress presents an instantiation of the participatory MCDA in the context of forestry. The research objective is to examine how distributed ledger technologies (DLT) can help to implement the mechanism and to coordinate the participatory MCDA transparently and securely.

1907년 대한예수교장로회 노회의 규칙에 나타나는 장로교 정치의 특징 연구

This paper focused on the enactment process and content characteristics of the Form of Government of the Presbyterian Church in Korea. Its rules were adopted at its presbytery in 1907 and are regarded as the first constitution of the Korean Presbyterian Church along with the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church in Korea, which was adopted at the presbytery as well. The Committee on Rules and By-Laws for Presbytery proposed the Form of Presbyterial Church-Government in the enactment process, but the members of the Council of Presbyterian Missions in Korea adopted rules in a simpler form, saying that the model would be too difficult for the upcoming presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in Korea. Established in this process, the Form of Government of the Presbyterian Church in Korea reflected the following characteristics of presbyterian politics: First, they divided ordinary officers into elders and deacons and then divided the elders into pastors and ruling elders; second, they defined judicatory vertically, including sessions, presbyteries and general assemblies; third, they organized the officers of the church around ordinary officers and provided poor regulations regarding leaders, helpers, Bible women, Evangelists, and colporteurs; forth, they presented a simple Sunday service without separate service directory for worship; and finally, they put in an independent system needed in the field such as the Committees of Visitation. Overall, the Form of Government of the Presbyterian Church in Korea followed the basic political system of the Presbyterian Church and contained content based on the situations of the Korean Presbyterian Church in 1907.

Face Attribute Transformation Based On ConStarGAN

Many models are able to transform styles by input images, such as Variational autoencoder (VAEs) and Generative adversarial networks (GANs), which have recently been applied to image style and domain transfer. In this paper, we propose a method based on unified generative adversarial networks for multi-domain image-to-image translation (StarGAN) to solve face attribute transfer problem—ConStarGAN. Given a face image, our model can extract the region of interest and transform multiple attributes in this region while keeping other features unchanged. So as to minimize the impact factor on the generated image and make it look very realistic. In our model, we present new loss function. Then, the image is segmented to avoid the influence of background, illumination and other factors, and spectral normalization is used to improve the quality of generated images. Experimental compared with the stability of relevant GAN models. Results show that we proposed model has achieved good results in face attribute translation. Finally, the effect of the improved model is illustrated through the effect analysis experiment.

Making Machine Learning Tangible for UX Designers

There is considerable current research interest in the relationship between machine learning (ML) and user experience design (UX). This comes both from design researchers within the human- computer interaction (HCI) community, who have sought ways for UX designers to work with ML, and data scientists in new types of collaborative practice. The need for a shared language between designers and data scientists has emerged as a key factor, with the creation of boundary objects in the form of sensitising concepts seen as a useful approach. This paper presents original research that responds to the call for such concepts by working directly with UX designers to model aspects of ML technologies in physical form. Our intention is to position designerly abstractions as examples of the type of boundary object able to bridge the domains of UX design and data science and open up new possibilities for the design of ML-driven digital products.
