Feature cross-fusion block net for accurate and efficient object detection

In recent years, a number of detectors have been proposed to improve the accuracy and speed of object detection tasks. However, poor detection performances for small objects and difficulties in optimizing deep networks remain critical challenges for object detection. We try to tackle these problems in two ways. First, we propose an innovative cross-fusion block (CFB) module that can enhance the representational power of features for instances of small objects. In CFBs, high-level features with rich semantic information and low-level features from different layers at the same scale are cross-fused together. Second, we propose a periodic oscillation attenuation learning rate (POA_lr) that can effectively skip some purely locally optimal solutions in the training process to obtain better detection accuracy. Extensive experiments on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO datasets show that CFB and POA_lr can achieve higher detection accuracy while maintaining real-time processing speeds. The code will be made publicly available.
The Relationship of Working Period and Personal Protective Equipment with Health Complaints to Scavengers at the Landfill Terjun, Marelan, Medan City, 2019

The landfill (TPA) of Terjun in Marelan waste is a landfill in Medan City. The scavengers usually take the trash in the trash. In waste management, TPA Terjun raises hydrogen sulfide gas levels which can endanger scavengers in the TPA if they exceed the quality standard threshold of 0.002 ppm. Hydrogen sulfide gas levels that exceed the quality standard threshold can cause foul odor and cause health complaints for those who are exposed. The study aims to determine the relationship between working Period and personal protective equipment with health complaints to scavengers at TPA Terjun, Marelan, Medan City, in 2019. This type of research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional research design with a total sample of 75 people taken by purposive sampling. The research was conducted in November 2019 at TPA Terjun Marelan. The study used bivariate analysis with the chi square test. The results showed bivariate with the chi square test that working period (p=0.033) and personal protective equipment (p=0.003) were associated with health complaints to scavengers at TPA Terjun, Marelan, Medan City, 2019.
Conceptual Analysis on Higher Education Strategies for various Tech-Generations

Higher education is finding importance throughout the globe due to two reasons that include challenges to increase Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) towards 100% and the possibility of further HE system innovations due to drastic changes in technology and the creativity of new Tech-generations. In this paper, we made a detailed analysis of the effect of technology on industry and the creation of new tech generations in society. The predictive analysis methodology is used for discussing the effect of technologies on industries and its effects on the creation of new tech generations. Finally, the possible higher education strategies to fullfill the anticipated desires of the tech-generations in society are analysed. Based on the analysis a set of postulates are suggested to integrate technology with the higher education system to develop industry acceptable qualified professionals to serve satisfactorily in so-called Tech-society.

Una nota sobre un argumento acerca del concepto de entimema

Abstract: The term “enthymeme” is used in the informal logic literature to refer to an argument with an implicit (missing, suppressed, unstated, omitted) premise. In this paper we analyze an argument that Roy Sorensen presented to support the contention according to which to maintain that enthymemes are invalid arguments with an implicit premise has a paradoxical consequence that should lead us to reject that thesis. We show that Sorensen's argument is an instance of the Pseudo-Scotus paradox, a paradox that does not involve the concept of enthymeme but the more general notion of (in) validity. We conclude that although there may be good reasons to consider that enthymemes are not arguments, Sorensen's objection does not offer compelling reasons to adopt that position.Keywords: enthymemes; implicit premises; argument reconstruction; Pseudo-Scotus paradox; Roy Sorensen

Investigating the discourse produced at score levels B2.2 to C2 on the Aptis Advanced writing test

Adopting an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design, this study explored the features of test-takers’ writing samples on the two tasks in the Aptis Advanced writing test, that is, email response and website writing that distinguished the three levels of B2.2, C1 and C2 on the CEFR.The study consisted of a qualitative and quantitative phase. During the qualitative phase, we conducted focus groups with ESL experts (n = 5) and Aptis raters (n = 6) where they commented on the features of the writing samples at the three CEFR levels in focus. During the quantitative phase, we performed discourse analysis of the email response and website writing samples (n = 120).Regarding the email response task, the two groups of participants identified five discourse features that distinguished writing samples at the three levels: a) vocabulary and grammar; b) sociolinguistic features; c) content; d) cohesion and coherence; and e) orthographic control. Most of these findings, however, were not supported by the discourse analysis results which indicated that the email writing samples at the three levels in focus failed to demonstrate significantly different discourse features.When it came to the website writing task, very similar findings emerged from the focus groups with the two groups of participants. However, the discourse analysis results for both tasks indicated that, except for lexical sophistication and spelling errors, other discourse features did not distinguish the writing samples at the three levels in focus.The findings of this study are not entirely surprising, given that: a) the differences in writing samples at advanced levels are often nuanced and not easily quantifiable through discourse analysis; and b) the writing samples that we drew on in this study were evaluated by the Aptis raters using the existing rating criteria which lack details at high levels. In view of the findings of this study, we provide a few recommendations for the possible revisions of the rating scales for the two tasks in the Aptis Advanced writing test.

Active in learning is a fundamental and important issue that must be understood, realized and developed by every educator in the learning process. In 2020 Indonesia was hit by a Covid-19 pandemic which is likely to affect the level of student learning activities. The study was conducted to see a comparison of learning activeness levels before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Samples were taken with a Simple Random Sampling system of 17 respondents who were students. Data obtained from questionnaires in the form of Google Form with research variables X1 and X2. The analysis used is a comparative analysis with the Wilcoxon test method (Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Signed Rank Test). The level of student activity before the Covid-19 pandemic was higher than the level of student activity after the Covid-19 pandemic. The data obtained is valid and reliable. Wilcoxon testing of data shows that there is a difference between the level of student learning activity before and after the Covid-19 pandemic so that it appears that the level of activity before the Covid-19 pandemic is better than after Covid-19
A Large-scale Study on Training Sample Memorization in Generative Modeling

Many recent developments on generative models for natural images have relied on heuristically-motivated metrics that can be easily gamed by memorizing a small sample from the true distribution or training a model directly to improve the metric. In this work, we critically evaluate the gameability of the benchmarking procedure by running a competition which ultimately resulted in participants attempting to cheat. Our competition received over 11000 submitted models which allowed us to investigate memorization-aware metrics for measuring generative model performance. Specifically, we propose the Memorization-Informed Frechet Inception Distance (MiFID) and discuss ways to ensure that winning submissions were based on genuine improvements in perceptual quality. We evaluate the effectiveness of our benchmark by manually inspecting the code for the 1000 top-performing models and labeling different forms of memorization that were intentionally or unintentionally used. To facilitate future work on benchmarking generative models, we release generated images and our labels for these models as well as code to compute the MiFID metric.
Learning Symbolic Expressions: Mixed-Integer Formulations, Cuts, and Heuristics

In this paper, we consider the problem of learning a regression function without assuming its functional form. This problem is referred to as symbolic regression. An expression tree is typically used to represent a solution function, which is determined by assigning operators and operands to the nodes. Cozad and Sahinidis propose a nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP), in which binary variables are used to assign operators and nonlinear expressions are used to propagate data values through nonlinear operators, such as square, square root, and exponential. We extend this formulation by adding new cuts that improve the solution of this challenging MINLP. We also propose a heuristic that iteratively builds an expression tree by solving a restricted MINLP. We perform computational experiments and compare our approach with a mixed-integer program–based method and a neural network–based method from the literature.

PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ INTEREST IN MUSICAL ACTIVITY

The article is dedicated to the problem of pedagogical support of the process of forming students’ interest in musical activity in music lessons. The aim of this article is to try to determine and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for the formation of students’ interest in musical activities, which should be created in the classroom. Analysis and generalization of scientists’ research, who studied this problem, has led to the conclusion that interest in musical activity is not an innate quality of a person, but is formed during life. It is a form of expression of the need for musical activity, and it’s determined by a purposeful attitude to it, promotes the activation of mental processes and encourages self-improvement of the individual. The formation of interest occurs in the sequence: "process – result – content". It is emphasized that in the course of its development in the process of purposeful influences the interest can grow into a stablepersonal need. Interest acts as a stimulus to learning, affects the development of musical observation, increases intellectual activity, enhances voluntary attention, sharpens the imagination, focuses the student on a particular musical activity and promotes the development of the whole complex of musical abilities. The author focuses on the existing contradictions that occur in art training and education. It also emphasizes the importance of creating appropriate pedagogical conditions that indirectly affect the outcome of art education. The proposed conditions can significantly increase the effectiveness of the educational process. Among them are highlighted such as: providing students with an individual trajectory of development; creating a situation of success in the lesson; a combination of individual and collective forms of work, which makes it possible to develop the full potential of each student; assessment of students’ achievements by the criterion of non-standard and originality; conducting open and closed monitoring of students’ musical preferences and thepossibility of correlating the content of educational programs by a music teacher.
