The Revitalisation of Tobati, an Endangered Language of Papua in Indonesia

The growth of infrastructure development in the Indonesian province of Papua has had a sometimes detrimental impact on local languages. One of the areas targeted for infrastructure development by the Indonesian central government is the village of Tobati in the region of the Papuan capital Jayapura. In this area, the central government has built a bridge that connects two previously separated areas, namely Jayapura and the Skouw Cross Country Border Posts. This situation will affect Tobati, a local language used in the nearby village of the same name. Therefore, the Language Development and Cultivation Agency under the authority of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture has initiated a project to revitalise the language. The revitalisation process will have a significant impact on education, social activities, and culture. In terms of education, the project provides a compatible learning model that is used to teach and learn Tobati in Inpres Tobati Elementary School. Socially, it helps to change people’s mindset about learning Tobati. Culturally, it explores Tobati’s historical background and vocabulary. Lastly, Tobati revitalisation encourages the Jayapura government to continue the preservation of endangered languages through signing a commitment to that effect.
THE EFFECT OF THE LOCATION AND METHOD OF DRAWING BLOOD ON HAEMOLYSIS OCCURRENCE ON EMERGENCY CARE CENTRE SAMPLES

Introduction: A sample of the patient's blood is needed to analyse their blood count. Different locations and methods can be chosen to draw blood. Different factors can cause haemolysis to occur when drawing samples. Haemolysis can cause erroneous laboratory results. Methods: A quantitative method has been used. The theoretic part used a descriptive method, and the research used a non-probability research sample. To process the results, Microsoft Office Professional Plus and IBM SPSS have been used. Results: A larger occurrence of haemolytic samples, 34%, has been recorded when drawing blood from the distal part of the arm as opposed to 12% from the cubital part. Furthermore, 32% of samples were haemolytic when drawing blood via vacuum as opposed to 12% when drawing blood via syringe. 36% of samples drawn with smaller intravenous cannulae indicated haemolysis and 14% of samples drawn with larger cannulae. In comparison to drawn samples via syringe and intravenous cannulae haemolysis occurred in 6 and 13% of samples respectively. The cause of 88,8% of haemolytic samples was drawing via an IV cannula and its size. Discussion and conclusion: Haemolysis occurrence is larger especially when drawing blood with smaller IV cannulae and via vacuum, as well as from the distal part of the arm. Over half of haemolytic samples were caused by drawing blood via IV cannula and due to its size.

Effect of latent space distribution on the segmentation of images with multiple annotations

We propose the Generalized Probabilistic U-Net, which extends the Probabilistic U-Net by allowing more general forms of the Gaussian distribution as the latent space distribution that can better approximate the uncertainty in the reference segmentations. We study the effect the choice of latent space distribution has on capturing the variation in the reference segmentations for lung tumors and white matter hyperintensities in the brain. We show that the choice of distribution affects the sample diversity of the predictions and their overlap with respect to the reference segmentations. We have made our implementation available at &lt;a href='https://github.com/ishaanb92/GeneralizedProbabilisticUNet'&gt;https://github.com/ishaanb92/GeneralizedProbabilisticUNet&lt;/a&gt;
Procedures, documentation and communication can help build capacity

Software process assessment (SPA) is an effective tool to understand an organization's process quality and to explore improvement opportunities. However, the knowledge that underlies the best practices required to develop assessment methods, either lightweight or heavyweight methods, is unfortunately scattered throughout the literature. This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review to organize those recognized as the best practices in a way that helps SPA researchers and practitioners in designing and implementing their assessment methods. Such practices are presented in the literature as assessment requirements, success factors, observations, and lessons learned. Consequently, a set of 38 best practices has been collected and classified into five main categories, namely practices related to SPA methods, support tools, procedures, documentation, and users. While this collected set of best practices is important for designing lightweight as well as heavyweight assessment methods, it is of utmost importance in designing lightweight assessment methods, as the design of which depends on individual experience.
Hybrid routing protocol for quantum network based on classical and quantum routing metrics

A quantum repeater is the heart of a quantum internet that enables end-to-end communication over long distances using the quantum entanglement feature. Although this characteristic gives quantum networks tremendous power in terms of speed and security, it puts quantum networks, especially the quantum internet, in front of challenges, like transforming a short-distance quantum link into a long-distance link, in addition to entanglement routing for finding the best path within a quantum network. So, this research aims to propose a hybrid quantum routing protocol (HQRP) based on routing metrics of the classical networks like hops count, as well as metrics of the quantum network represented by the possibility of entanglement between end nodes in the network. As a result, a mathematical model was built to determine the optimal path among many paths within the quantum network, and it was implemented on our quantum network simulator. Finally, we concluded that the proposed algorithm gives the optimal path based on the highest entanglement probability and lowest number of hop count.
Visual Navigation for Autonomous Mobile Material Deposition Systems using Remote Sensing

Abstract In this work, we propose a novel visual navigation method to estimate the state of mobile and fixed cold-spray material deposition systems using a stereo-camera sensor installed in the workspace. Unlike other visual localization algorithms that exploit costly onboard sensors such as LiDARs or fully rely on distinct visual cues on the robot and grid markers in the environment, our method significantly reduces the cost and complexity of the sensory setup by utilizing a cost-effective remote stereo vision system. This allows for the localization of the target system regardless of its appearance or the environment, and enables scalability for tracking and operation of multiple mobile material deposition systems at the same time. To achieve this aim, deep neural networks, kinematic constraints, and learning-aided state observers are employed to detect and estimate the location and orientation of the deposition system. A physical model of the system with bounded uncertainty and fusion with a remote visual sensing module is proposed. This accounts for frames in which depth estimation accuracy is reduced due to perceptually degraded conditions in the cold spraying context. The algorithm is evaluated on a fixed and mobile setup that demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.

Pemanfaatan Website Wizer Me untuk Mengembangkan E-LKPD Interaktif Bagi Guru Sekolah Dasar.

The ability to develop interactive student worksheets is a competency that educators really need to support the learning process in the classroom. To improve teacher competence, it is necessary to conduct training in using free websites to develop interactive e-LKPD. One of the website platforms that can be used by teachers is the wizer me website. The platform is easy to use and the features provided in preparing the e-LKPD are very complete. The method of implementing community service is carried out in several stages, namely: the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation stage. The target of this service is SDN 26 Mataram teachers, totaling 14 teachers. The results of this service can be said to be successful, seen from the teacher's enthusiasm in the practice of making interactive e-LKPD with materials prepared by the service team. Besides that, the teacher's enthusiasm in this training can be seen from the increase in the teacher's test results on the ability to understand the material delivered by the service team. The types of questions practiced by the teacher in making e-LKPD using the wizer me website are multiple choice, short entries, descriptions, matching, searching for words, sorting, labeling pictures. Therefore, by increasing teacher competence in compiling interactive e-LKPD, it is hoped that teachers can develop more fully using the teacher's own materials and ideas according to the needs and characteristics of students.

The Impact of Disruption on the College Textbook Publishing Industry: 2001–2012

Higher education in the U.S. experienced a period of impressive growth after 2000. However, a series of unanticipated challenges undermined and threatened the basic business models that worked so successfully between 1945 and 2000. The challenges that emerged between 2001 and 2012 included an insidious recession, sagging sales of new printed textbooks, student enrollment declines in 2011 and 2012, and the emergence of easy to use online operations offering students deep discounts for used and rental college textbooks impacted both publisher’s revenues and unit sales. The major textbook publishers attempted to address these concerns with a series of interesting but ultimately unsuccessful marketing and production strategies.
Introduction: The State of the U.S. College Textbook Industry to 2000

The development of the oral tradition, the creation of scrolls, and eventually illuminated manuscripts were utilized in the ancient and medieval eras to educate students. After about 1450, written textbooks were utilized in various medieval universities (e.g., Oxford in 1167) to educate students in the humanities, the social sciences, and the sciences. These early textbooks were printed using the time-consuming letter-press process, effectively making these textbooks expensive for faculty members, libraries, or students. Once colleges were created in North America (e.g., Harvard in 1636), there was a pressing need for printed texts; for decades, printed books were imported from Europe even after the first book was printed in what is now the U.S. (e.g., the Bay Psalm Book in 1640). The creation of viable printing and publishing operations and the growth in both college enrollments and the number of colleges, in the years before, during, and after the end of World War II, triggered demand for college texts and related ancillary products, compelling college textbook publishers to adopt more effective production, distribution, marketing, and financial control procedures. By 2000, the financial state of the U.S. college textbook business was impressive, and the major textbook publishers were very optimistic about continued growth in the twenty-first century.
