THE NECESSITY OF IMPROVING CULTURAL AWARENESS OF EFL LEARNERS IN STMIK HANDAYANI MAKASSAR

This paper mainly discusses the relationship between language and culture. Language and culture are closely related. If one does not understand the cultural backgrounds, he or she cannot learn the target language really well because any language is an integral part of its culture. Moreover, misunderstanding between the speaker whose first language is English and the speaker whose first language is not English occur between them. The writer believes that there is still an important cultural element missing from foreign language education in Indonesian EFL classes in such as in STMIK Handayani Makassar. Therefore, English learning in STMIK Handayani Makassar should not only to learn the language, but also to learn its culture. To improve students’ sensitivity for cultural difference between the West and the East and to raise their cultural awareness, English teachers at schools are required not only to teach language but also to impart cultural background knowledge and further to deal with the relationship between language and culture well. This article starts with the necessity of teaching cultural awareness in English teaching at schools, and then this paper discusses some common cultural language mistakes by English Foreign Language learners in STMIK Handayani Makassar.

Mining multiple sources of historical data: The example of a standardized dataset of medieval monasteries and convents in France

Abstract. In this paper, we present a dataset of medieval monasteries and convents on the territory of today’s France and discuss the workflow of its integration. Spatial historical data are usually dispersed and stored in various forms – encyclopedias and catalogues, websites, online databases, and printed maps. In order to cope with this heterogeneity and proceed to computational analysis, we have devised a method that includes the creation of a data model, data mining from sources, data transformation, geocoding, editing, and conflicts solving. The resulting dataset is probably the most comprehensive collection of records on medieval monasteries within the borders of today’s France. It can be used for understanding the spatial patterns of medieval Christian monasticism and the implantation of the official Church infrastructure, as well as the relation between this official infrastructure and phenomena covered in other datasets. We open this dataset, as well as scripts for mining, to the public (https://github.com/adammertel/dissinet.monasteries) and provide a map tool to visualize, filter, and download the records (http://hde.geogr.muni.cz/monasteries).

The Cooperative Guidance Path Optimization Based on Road Network Layered

Targeting the prominent “navigation jam” phenomenon, using the optimal balance model of the system, a cooperative induction path search algorithm with complementary advantages of distributed induction and central induction is proposed. First, using the Beckmann traffic balance distribution model, the equilibrium is considered from the perspective of the road network. Then, through the dynamic search limitation of the path search in the sub-area low-level road network, the cross-layer node determination based on the improved A* is proposed. Based on this method, an improved cross-layer path search algorithm is established. Finally, a collaborative induction algorithm model is built, which breaks through the existing navigation path provision method and proposes a new phased approach to provide the optimal path. Through the new induction method, the traffic flow balance of the whole network can be guaranteed.
Developing Android Role Playing Game for Elementary Music Learning

The lack of elementary student’s knowledge and interest about Indonesia’s traditional song can affect the existence of traditional songs. Elementary students prefer to listen to modern songs from the device that they have in their daily life. In the music learning process, the student feels bored because of the monotone learning method, even though music art learning process is an important process to promote student knowledge about Indonesia’s traditional songs. Innovation is needed because of this condition. For example, is the use of technological devices like mobile device in music artlearning.Thisstudyaimstodesignanddevelopanandroidrole-playinggame(RPG) for music learning, especially Indonesia’s traditional songs.

Two-Stage Backward Elimination Method for Neural Networks Model Reduction

Abstract The single-hidden-layer neural networks (NN) has been widely used for complex system identification. However, the hidden neurons are often determined by trial-and-error method and the amount of neurons is usually large. This commonly leads to over-fitting problem and the training process is time consuming. In this paper, we propose a two-stage backward elimination (TSBE) method to obtain a parsimonious network with fewer hidden neurons but remains a good performance and saves training time. In the first stage, neural networks with a predetermined number of hidden neurons is trained based on stochastic gradient decent (SGD) algorithm with part of training data and Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) is applied for dropping redundant neurons leading to a simplified neural model. In the second stage, the remaining training data is used to update the parameters of the simplified neural model. A simulation example is used to validate and show that the novel approach gives a more compressed model and higher level of accuracy comparing with the recently proposed pruning-based method.

Extraction of biological parameters of wound-healing processes from time-lapse videos

Experimental data have been extracted from wound-healing time-lapse videos. These data include the detection of the area of the wound and the detection of individual cells. Extracting the area of the wound is done by using a function in Python OpenCV called cv2.findcontours. An improved method to extract the area of the wound is introduced as well using the Sobel filter. Detecting the individual cells is done by localizing the local maxima in an image. Histogram equalization is applied to enhance the global contrast to increase the performance of cell detection. The continuum model is applied in one of the videos, where we used different parameters to model the data. A method is described to nd the optimal parameter of the continuum model by using the method of least-squares. Finally, two methods using the kernel density estimation are described which can be useful in future studies.

SEDRES: SECURED DATA RETRIEVAL SERVICE

Cloud service model can provide flexible storage place to store electronic data cost-effectively.However, storage of sensitive data in the third party cloud domain may violate the privacy of data.For this reason, encryption logic needs to be applied before uploading it to cloud storage.Use of encryption logic may violate the availability of data.It is now becoming a big concern to retrieve data securely from the cloud storage.This paper considers a remote application environment, where cloud data retrieval service must be secured to preserve the privacy of sensitive data.Here multiple items are searched in a single query to make the procedure faster, and the only specific number of relevant records can be retrieved at a time to save bandwidth cost.Encryption logic is proposed in such a way that encrypted cloud data could be processed without decryption.A secured retrieval service is proposed here to ensure data availability at any time.Hybrid encryption logic is designed based on AES cipher and homomorphism properties.Limitations of fully Homomorphic encryption are avoided in proposed logic.Analytical study of AES cipher shows its efficiency to encrypt electronic data and reply vectors.Theoretical analysis of homomorphism shows its efficiency to secure searchable index, items, and query vectors required in cloud data retrieval service.

Gödel's theorem and paraconsistency

To Begin With 1.1 Introduction.Much has been written about Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem.Nearly always, this is on the assumption that the logic of the theory of arithmetic in question is classical-or at least intuitionistic-logic. Rarely is the possibility that a paraconsistent logic is used explored.Yet the use of a paraconsistent logic puts a distinctively new spin on matters.The point of the present paper is to spell some of this out.I shall not assume that people are familiar with the elements of paraconsistent logic-or at least, of the paraconsistent logic I will deploy.So before we get to paraconsistent arithmetic, I will spell this out.We will then be in a position to bring this to bear on Gödel's Theorem.Mostly, what I say will be of a technical nature; but I will permit myself a few philosophical comments towards the end. 2 1.2 Gödel's Theorem.But first, some background.If one looks at textbook statements of Gödel's Theorem, one will normally find something like this: ‚ Any axiomatic theory of arithmetic, with appropriate expressive capabilities, is incomplete-in the sense that there is something true (in the standard model of arithmetic) that cannot be proved.This in inaccurate.What the proof of the theorem actually shows is this:‚ Any axiomatic theory of arithmetic, with appropriate expressive capabilities, is either incomplete-in that sense-or inconsistent.Of course, the inconsistent possibility is usually ignored, since in classical logic inconsistency implies triviality, and so this possibility is uninteresting.With a paraconsistent logic, it is, however.It might be thought that the proof of the Theorem depends on classical logic.It does not.In fact, it makes virtually no assumptions about the underlying logic of the theory.Let me show this.The theorem can be proved for any theory, T , which satisfies the following four conditions:
