Attitude of Foreign Language Learners on Nonverbal Communication and Privacy in Communicative Classes

Communication has verbal and nonverbal aspects.It has been estimated that 82% of class communication is nonverbal. While the role of nonverbal behavior in English classes is much it is hitherto an unexplored area. One subpart of nonverbal communication is proxemics or space. Combing nonverbal communication and the right to privacy, this article is aimed at exploring the attitude of foreign language students regarding nonverbal communication and privacy right in English classes. A nonverbal questionnaire along with privacy proposed by the researcher was answered by 107 general English participants. Based on their opinion the major findings were that students like, smiling, tidy and on time teachers who explain and illustrate in English classes. However, they do not like to answer questions regarding their personal life such as personal description, identification, health or background. As a result, their privacy right should be observed in communicative English classes.
Research on the Application of Information Technology in College English Teaching against the Background of Internet

Traditional College English teaching is dull, students' initiative in learning is difficult to mobilize, and the teaching effect is not significant.By building information technology-based teaching platforms which rely on the Internet and mobile terminals, and adopting online and offline blended teaching mode, students' principal position is highlighted.Under the guidance of teachers, students use information technology software to carry out personalized learning before, during and after class.The application of information technology in teaching has stimulated students' interest in learning English, fostered their ability of autonomous learning, promoted the internalization and absorption of knowledge, and improved the teaching quality and effect.This research provides new ideas for the reform of college English teaching.

한국어 듣기 평가에서 영상 자료의 역할 -숙달도에 따른 차이를 중심으로-

The purpose of this study is to confirm the roles of video in listening test and to measure visual factors influencing listening comprehension by its degree of proficiency. This study conducted two different types of tests: audio only test and audiovisual test were performed on 31 learners. The result showed that learners in audiovisual test had performed better in Korean listening comprehension assessment and it had statistically meaningful difference. As a result of investigation on visual factors which are helpful in listening understanding, it was verified that situation and psychological factors ranked high, but speaker related factors were verified in low ranking. More Specifically, it was found that both the listening situation and the learner’s psychological status were helpful for listening comprehension, whereas mouth shape, facial expression and gesture had limited impact. Based on these results, the concept of Korean listening ability was broadly defined including ability to use visual cues throughout this thesis. (Korea University)
그림책 중심의 교사협력지원 부모교육에서 부모가 가지는 경험적 의미

This study aims to explore the empirical meanings of parents in picture book-based teacher cooperation support parent education and to analyze their meanings to reestablish the awareness of the parental role and parent education with the opportunity for parents to participate more actively in the linkage between the family and circle. Thus, this study is an executive study in which teachers plan and implement picture book activities as parent education. The results are as follows. First, the difficulty of the parental role is due to the burden and ambiguity of the parent role, Second, there is a new awareness of the picture book, Third, meeting with teachers who understand the development of their children is best with expectations and satisfaction through cooperative teacher support and is an opportunity for providing diverse information and for building a trustworthy relationship, Fourth, there is a positive recognition of participatory parent education in a flat and one-time knowledge-oriented education form. Based on these results, parent education supports the positive development of infants and young children when they actively help parents to play the role of parents in the implementation of participatory parent education. Therefore, we suggest that parent education in cooperative teacher support is a form of effective parent education that links family and circle.

As a result of analyzing the survey and interviews of students after the application of the education program, it was found that AI education was necessary, interested, and useful, and helped improve creativity and thinking skills, and had a positive effect on career choices related to AI.&#x0D; Conclusions It was confirmed that the PBL-based elementary machine learning education program has a positive effect on problem-solving skills and artificial intelligence education for fifth graders, and it is expected to be used as a reference for follow-up studies of artificial intelligence education programs considering various grades, school forms, and convergence with subjects.
Психолого-педагогические условия формирования профессиональной ответственности у журналиста-международника в нераспространении «фейковых новостей»

Introduction.Against the background of the mass media crisis and despite the need to increase the responsibility of international journalists in non-proliferation of “fake news”, there are no studies that regulate effective pedagogical conditions for increasing the reporters’ honesty and integrity. The purpose of the article is to present results of a study carried out at the international journalism faculty of Moscow State Institute of International Relations under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia between 2014-2018, including dedicated psychological and pedagogical conditions involving key approaches and effective technological support and diagnostic tools to measure levels of professional responsibili ty of international journalists. Materials and Methods. The empirical base of the study comprised a multiyear observation and questionnaires for 2nd-4th-year students of the MGIMO international journalism faculty, as well as re-analysis and substantive interpretation of matters of improving quality of professional journalism. Results. The study presents the analysis of problems of increasing professional responsibility of international journalists under conditions of commercialization of information field and mass media and effective psychological and pedagogical conditions required to improve quality of their professional training. A series of criteria and indicators related to the concept of the professional responsibility of the international journalist (civil position, moral standing and professional persistence) were defined. Discussion and Conclusion. Specially created psychological and pedagogical conditions of education can satisfy the state order, employers and students of the journalism area, building highly professional competences of international journalist. Mechanisms and step-by-step implementation of the model may be replicated in the broad higher school practice, increasing the level of professional responsibility of international journalists.

Probes and Sensors: The Design of Feedback Loops for Usability Improvements

The importance of user-centric design methods in the design of programming tools is now well accepted. These methods depend on creating a feedback loop between the designers and their users, providing data about developers, their needs and behaviour gathered through various means. These include controlled experiments, field observations, as well as analytical frameworks. However, whilst there have been a number of experiments detailed, quantitative data is rarely used as part of the design process. Part of the reason for this might be that such feedback loops are hard to design and use in practice. Still, we believe there is potential in this approach and opportunities in gathering this kind of ‘big data’. In this paper, we sketch a framework for reasoning about these feedback loops - when data gathering may make sense and for how to incorporate the results of such data gathering into the programming tool design process. We illustrate how to use the framework on two case studies and outline some of the challenges in instrumentation and in knowing when and how to act on signals.
Safety Risk Monitoring of Hydraulic Power Generation Industrial Control Network

Several methods (e.g. Move Average, Gene Expression Programming) can be used in safety risk monitoring of Hydraulic Power Generation Industrial Control Network. However, it is difficult for a single forecasting model to predict accurately. Based on the idea of ensemble learning algorithm, this paper gives the positive answer of above problem. This paper proposes an asymmetric error cost function (AEC) to evaluate prediction errors. The effect of the algorithm is confirmed.
Pragmatic Analysis of Written Directives in English Examinations

The study analyzed the directives in the English major examinations collated from Batangas State University. It covered the instructors extent of use of examination types. At the end of the study, a set of guidelines in the construction of directions was proposed. The descriptive method of research was utilized with the questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument. To get the pragmatic implications, the qualitative method was employed in analyzing the forms of directives under the lenses of Searle’s Speech Acts, Hyland’s Classification of Directives, indices of power, and directness. The results revealed that there were 97 forms of directives embedded in the tests with write, read, and identify as the top three most frequently used. In terms of power and directness, most directives were deemed firm and moderately direct. Using Hyland’s classification, the majority of the directives fell under cognitive acts, followed by the physical acts.
UHD Introduction at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: A Case Study

In its biggest move since the 1960s, the French Canadian headquarters of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) will move out of its current, historical facility into a brand new, all-digital home in 2020. As part of this radical infrastructure change, the CBC has undertaken a series of tests on new imaging technologies to better understand their impact on the viewer as well as the required changes in production and post-production techniques. The tests were designed to validate several engineering and creative challenges facing broadcasters wishing to transition into ultrahigh-definition (UHD). Following the successful acquisition of hundreds of reference shots, a post-production workshop helped define the optimal workflows and formats for source archival, mezzanine file generation, and over-the-top (OTT)/broadcast distribution formats. A training program is in the works to help creative leads transfer their newly acquired know-how to other members of the CBC. This paper provides insights to broadcasters with significant infrastructure and large teams as to how to successfully transition from HD to UHD and the challenges to expect along the road.
Classification of Imbalanced Dataset Based on Random Walk Model

During data classification, the classifier often performs poorly facing imbalanced dataset.To solve the problem, this paper develops a classification method, denoted as the IRWM, for imbalanced dataset based on the random walk model (RWM).Firstly, a positive example and a negative example were set up according to the imbalance of the training data.Then, the training data were mapped separately into the random walk graph (RWG) for the positive example and that for the negative example.Once inputted, each data was walked separately in the two RWGs, yielding two probabilities.After that, the two probabilities of the unclassified data were compared with the preset comparison coefficient to determine the final class of the data.The proposed method was contrasted with the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm through experiments.The results show that our method can effectively classify data in imbalanced dataset.

Sign Voice Bi-Directional Communication System (SVBi) for Blind, Deaf/Dumb and Normal People

Blind and deaf/dumb people face problems in communicating with others facing the difficulties in dealing with the communication technology. The goal of this paper is to design a communication system that is used to facilitate communication between blind, deaf/dumb and normal people using machine learning techniques. SVBiCommunication system helps blind person to hear voice through speaker, saying the word gestured by the deaf/dumb while the deaf will receive text that can be seen on LCD, representing the word said by the blind. SVBiCommunication works in two main directions, the first direction isprocessing the input from image to speech and also to text.The animated word gestures that are taken from the image are mapped with predefined language knowledge base into text.Then, the relevant audio is generated.The second direction is processing from speech to text.The voice from blind is converted into its corresponding text using ARM-Voice Recognition application.
Towards Automatic Configuration of Interactive Known-Item Search Systems

Searching for one particular scene in a large annotation-free video archive becomes a common task in the multimedia age. Since the task is inherently difficult without knowledge of the scene location, multimedia management systems utilize various notions of similarity and provide both effective retrieval models and interactive interfaces. In this paper, we propose a vision of a simulation framework for automatic configuration of interactive known-item search video retrieval systems. We believe that such framework could help with early, resource-inexpensive evaluations and therefore automatic parameters tuning, detection of effective search strategies and effective configuration of client prototypes.
A Partimento in Classical Sonata Form by Giacomo Tritto

†Naples 1824) was a prolific, albeit not tremendously successful, opera composer.In his remarkably long life, he wrote more than fifty operas, mostly comic operas -a lesser genre in late eighteenth-century Naples.Today, his operatic output is remembered mainly because of Il convitato di pietra, a comic opera staged at the Teatro de' Fiorentini in Naples in 1783, five years earlier than Mozart's Don Giovanni. 1 Tritto's opera, on a libretto by Giovanbattista Lorenzi, is a fine example of the comic side of the Don Giovanni myth and has been recently restaged at the Teatro Verdi in Pisa in the season 2015/16.Tritto was also one of the most influential Neapolitan teachers of his age.When the two surviving conservatories of the original four, Sant'Onofrio and the Pietà dei Turchini, merged in 1806 into a new Collegio di Musica, instead of a single director, Giuseppe Bonaparte chose Tritto along with Fedele Fenaroli and Giovanni Paisiello to form the so-called Triumvirato -a board of governors -that lasted until 1813, when Niccolò Zingarelli became the sole governor.Tritto achieved the highest honour through all the stages of his long career.He entered the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini in 1746, where he was a student of Pasquale Cafaro and Nicola Sala. 2 In 1759 he became "maestrino" (teaching assistant) of Cafaro and in 1785 "secondo maestro straordinario" in the same Conservatorio, where in 1799 he became full professor of counterpoint and composition.

The first data about the structure and mineral composition of the ores of the Tarakon potential gold ore field (the Far East of Russia)

The obtained original materials, in conjunction with the literature data (hydrochemical contrasting halos), make it possible to predict a new (Tarakonsky) gold ore field within the eastern part of the Argun superterrane. Industrial concentrations of gold are noted in quartz metasomatites from granites and limestones. The amount of ore minerals usually does not exceed 5-10%. They are present in the rocks in micron and submicron size, represented mainly by pyrite, less often galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, ilmenite, hematite, magnetite, faded ores, and native high-grade gold. It is assumed that the formation of the Tarakonsky gold ore field, as well as most of the ore objects in the region, is associated with the manifestation of Late Mesozoic magmatism.
