Part III: Advancing Media-related Educational Competencies

In the first part of this dissertation, selected models and standards from Germany and the USA were introduced, based on a literature review and thus revealing what is considered relevant for practice in a variety of sources and which competencies preservice teachers should acquire, according to these sources. In the second part, methods and selected results of competency measurements were introduced, thus demonstrating ways to operationalize the models and to assess the outcomes of respective processes of such a model integration. Complementary to these theoretical and measurement-focused perspectives on media-related educational competencies, it is important to extend the viewpoint to practices of media-related education of preservice teachers: the objectives both of competency models and of competency measurements ultimately include impacting the respective practices in teacher education and offering a grounded basis and stimuli for improvements and enhanced practice. In accordance with this, various sources emphasize the importance of research on the integration of ICT and respective competencies into initial teacher education (Enochsson und Rizza 2009; Krumsvik 2014; Tondeur u. a. 2017).
THE CORRUPTION SYNDROME AND THEEFFECTIVENESS OF FOREIGN AID ON ECONOMICGROWTH

This research report investigates whether corruption is a hindrance or a burden to the effectiveness offoreign loans in influencing economic growth of less developed countries, particularly Sub-Saharan Africacountries. The study concentrated on four years (2014-2017) where panel data was used to fit in the empirical modelthat was used to explain the relationship between foreign loans and economic growth, corruption and economicgrowth, then whether corruption is heterogeneous to foreign loans in influencing growth patterns. The study foundthat foreign loans negatively impact economic growth but it is insignificant, meaning that it influences economicgrowth indirectly. The study also found that corruption has a negative and insignificant impact on the economicgrowth of the surveyed countries under study. The study coincides with Roll and Talbott who also attested thatforeign loans do not contribute toward financing sustained economic growth over the long term.
Sikap Pemilih Terhadap Sumber Informasi Hoaks pada Pilpres 2019 di Sumatra Barat

Presidential election in Indonesia has just ended in 2019. As part of the democratic process, elections are expected to be a golden opportunity for all elements to play an active role, especially as voters. In terms of political communication, it is important and interesting to examine the attitude of voters when accepting media exposure about candidates. The urgency is even more crucial based on facts whereas more than 90% of media were fake media. Among 34 provinces in Indonesia, West Sumatra is known as one of the provinces known to be rational. It is interesting to uncover the rationality of the voters in West Sumatra regarding the 2019 Presidential Election. The instrument of study is survey method, questionnaires were distributed to 600 respondents selected based on the stratified random sampling method in 3 cities and 3 districts in West Sumatra. The research finding, 51% of respondents absorb fake media in a raw manner. The result finding is then analysed through a qualitative approach based on relevant references. The conclusion of the study confirms that the majority of the voters of West Sumatra did not use common sense in absorbing information regarding 2019 Presidential election from fake media.
An Analysis of the Effectiveness of the National Prevention System: Response to the MERS Outbreak in 2018

As international exchanges have become more active, the inflow of new infections has become easier and the damage from these new infections has increased. It is an important task for a nation to protect its people from disease. Therefore, in order to look at the governance of the national prevention system that was reorganized in 2015, we aimed to analyze how well the governance system was implemented by taking the MERS outbreak into account. We use the three aspects of prevention of domestic inflow, initial response site, and epidemic response based on four criteria: responsiveness, expertise, transparency, and connectivity. The analysis showed that the expertise and transparency have significantly improved and the responsiveness of the immigration control sector and the connection of the initial response site were insufficient. If these analyses make up for the deficiencies, it is expected to be resolved quickly and accurately even if there are new viruses in the future.
Strategies for Developing 21st Century Skills in the Context of Modern English Language Teaching Approaches

The article focuses on integrating 21st century skills into the context of school education. It presents the generally accepted classiﬁcation of skills; justiﬁes the necessity of their formation in view of the socio-economic challenges of modern society; provides the strategies for their promotion in the framework of foreign language learning. The author carried out the analysis of current publications relevant to the topic of the research. Skills are traditionally grouped into four categories: 1) digital literacy (knowledge of science and technology; ability to receive, analyze, design, and visualize information; cultural awareness); 2) innovative thinking (adaptability, adequacy of response to the environment, self-organization, curiosity, creativity, ability to risk, analytical skills); 3) eﬀective communication (team-building and leadership in a group, working in collaboration, interpersonal skills, social and civic responsibility, interactivity, e-learning and working through mutual development); 4) high productivity (ability to prioritize, programmatic planning and management, eﬃcient use of resources, the ability to create the right quality product of their work). In practice, transformation in education system is expressed in changing learning models: 1) student-centered learning; 2) interactive teaching of "teacher-student" format; 3) the role of the teacher takes many forms: facilitator, curator, advisor, expert, who facilitates the task or project. To form cognitive and social skills while teaching English in secondary school, it is recommended to follow the didactic principle of students' consciousness development, to rely on a personalization and individual approach, to use problem-based learning technologies, to use interactive forms of learning. For the formation and development of personal competencies, it is recommended to carefully select authentic training materials facilitating the learners' curiousity and be problematic in nature. The results of the implementation of the proposed strategies provide for the creation of a success situation in the English language lesson, which allows the development of creative abilities, stimulates their expression, as well as promotes the expected learning outcomes.

Methods and Strategies of Teaching Mathematics to Adult Learners

Adult learning opportunities exist in a wide variety of conditions and physical possibilities: from a formal educational institution, paid private courses to a place of work. While planning teaching of mathematics to adult person or group of people it is essential to take into account the students’ previous knowledge and experience of studying this subject, including their ability to self-recognize their own skills and psychological readiness for being taught. Considerations for adult development in general and education particularly include biological and psychological aspects, also factors of deterioration and disease processes that may occur, as well as the sociocultural and integrative developmental perspectives. These and other constituents determine the whole process of mathematics teaching in young and adult peoples’ abilities to study mathematics at all. This article deals with the andragogical aspect of adult education and adult education programs and is aimed at understanding the process of adult education in the niche of mathematics teaching. Specific strategies of both teaching and learning math for adult learners are provided and their implications are discussed.
Pendekatan Imersi Dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia Bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) (Penerapan Program Imersi Di Australia)

Various learning strategies have been carried out in BIPA teaching. One approach that is quite interesting in BIPA teaching, especially in Australia is immersion approach. Immersion approach is an approach taken to improve language skills by immersing participants in the target language, Indonesian. Therefore, the problems are how the characteristics of BIPA learners and participants of the immersion program and how the program design and implementation of the immersion program, especially in Victoria, Australia. This study aims to describe the characteristics of BIPA learners and teachers in the immersion program and describe the program design and implementation of immersion program, particularly in Australia. The results are BIPA learners and teachers in the immersion program are multicultural because the participants come from different ethnic communities with diverse cultural backgrounds. The immersion program is designed with interesting activities in the form of games, discussions, cultural materials that are able to improve Indonesian language skills and deepen the Indonesian culture of immersion program participants.

The necessity of making management decisions, including active participation of regional state authorities, in more profound cooperation and integration of intellectual, personnel, technical and technological resources, aimed at development and effective use of available potential is noted.
An FPT algorithm for orthogonal buttons and scissors

We study the puzzle game Buttons and Scissors in which the goal is to remove all buttons from an n×m grid by a series of horizontal and vertical cuts. We show that the corresponding decision problem has an algorithm with time complexity 2O(k2log⁡k)+(n+m)O(1), where k is an upper bound on the number of cuts.
A Kernel-based Consensual Aggregation for Regression

In this article, we introduce a kernel-based consensual aggregation method for regression problems. We aim to flexibly combine individual regression estimators $r_1, r_2, \ldots, r_M$ using a weighted average where the weights are defined based on some kernel function to build a target prediction. This work extends the context of Biau et al. (2016) to a more general kernel-based framework. We show that this more general configuration also inherits the consistency of the basic consistent estimators. Moreover, an optimization method based on gradient descent algorithm is proposed to efficiently and rapidly estimate the key parameter of the strategy. The numerical experiments carried out on several simulated and real datasets are also provided to illustrate the speed-up of gradient descent algorithm in estimating the key parameter and the improvement of overall performance of the method with the introduction of smoother kernel functions.

Eliminating Catastrophic Interference with Biased Competition

We present here a model to take advantage of the multi-task nature of complex datasets by learning to separate tasks and subtasks in and end to end manner by biasing competitive interactions in the network. This method does not require additional labelling or reformatting of data in a dataset. We propose an alternate view to the monolithic one-task-fits-all learning of multi-task problems, and describe a model based on a theory of neuronal attention from neuroscience, proposed by Desimone. We create and exhibit a new toy dataset, based on the MNIST dataset, which we call MNIST-QA, for testing Visual Question Answering architectures in a low-dimensional environment while preserving the more difficult components of the Visual Question Answering task, and demonstrate the proposed network architecture on this new dataset, as well as on COCO-QA and DAQUAR-FULL. We then demonstrate that this model eliminates catastrophic interference between tasks on a newly created toy dataset and provides competitive results in the Visual Question Answering space. We provide further evidence that Visual Question Answering can be approached as a multi-task problem, and demonstrate that this new architecture based on the Biased Competition model is capable of learning to separate and learn the tasks in an end-to-end fashion without the need for task labels.
PETROGRAPHIC, FLUID INCLUSION AND OXYGEN ISOTOPE CHARACTERISTICS OF RAMAND AREA, NW IRAN

Ramand mineralization area is located at a distance of about 60 km from the provincial capital of Qazvin province, Iran. The studied area is a part of the Central Iran structural zone in the southern part of Danesfahan geological map. Lithological units in Ramand area are composed of riodacite, rhyolite, tuff riodacite, crystal tuff and riodacite. The presence of clay minerals indicates argillic alteration, which is a good indicator of mineralization. This type of alteration can be detected in volcanic regions which have been severely affected by argillic alteration. Silicification is the most important evidence of precious metal potential in post magmatic environments. According to mineralogical studies, sulfide minerals in the area consist of pyrite and chalcopyrite with supergene minerals such as covellite, malachite, and Fe hydroxides. Based on phase content, the three types of inclusion in Ramand area include vapor, vapor liquid, and liquid rich inclusions. According to fluid inclusion data, the liquid vapor homogenization temperature [TH (L–V)] varied from 73 to 307 °C, and salinity ranged from 1.75 to 4.74 wt% NaCl eq. The calculated δ18O values of water in equilibrium with quartz ranged from 5.8 to 6.9 per ml. Calculated δ18O values of water in equilibrium with calcite ranged from 4.4 to 9.4 per ml. These data suggest that the ores formed most likely originated from magmatic hydrothermal sources along with some meteoric solutions during mineralization processes.
GridTest: testing and metrics collection for Python

Creating reproducible testing and parameterization is a consistent challenge in research because it is hard to do (Koteska, Pejov, & Mishev, 2015).Researchers often don't have the bandwidth to think about tests, and consequently, creating tools for this use case is often overlooked.GridTest ("GridTest on GitHub," 2020) is a library that specializes in generating parameter grids.The grids are most obviously used for testing, but can extend to other use cases.In the context of testing, GridTest makes it easy to discover functions, classes, and arguments for Python scripts or modules, and then generate a template to easily populate.Outside of testing, grids can be created that are version controlled, programatically defined with functions, and easy to interact with from the command line or Python interpreter.Grids can be used with tests that can further be parameterized and configured to collect metrics for each case run.Both grid and test specifications are stored in a simple YAML configuration that the library helps to generate, and features include interactive debugging, interactive report generation, and provided metrics (Python decorators) that can assist with research.
O «Programa Avançado de Educação Secundária com Enfase em Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação» (PROA) e presença no Facebook

Since the emergence of the internet in our daily lives and the digital revolution as the most relevant phenomenon of the last decades, the ways of living together, thinking, communicating and reflecting have been mutating. Today, digital social networks occupy new spaces such as electronic agoras, where various communicative prototypes are tested and where different ways of managing emotions and thoughts are put into play. In this context, the exclusion of the digital world can generate threats and dangers, especially to the profiles of public institutions of various kinds. This article analyzes the presence of the PROA Schools (Advanced High School Program with emphasis on ICT) in Córdoba, Argentina, on Facebook in order to describe and analyze what is said about schools, how and who says so. As an analysis platform, we have chosen a Facebook group that brings together teachers from all over the province and we have used the search tool to locate the publications of the last two years. As main conclusion we highlight that the formal presence of the program is low, so it increases disinformation and the circulation of fake news; at the same time, most of the comments linked to schools refer to criticisms of funding and the way of selecting teachers.

The focus of this special issue is to explore how such activity records can be exploited to provide user-centric personalization services.
Detecting Mobility Context over Smartphones using Typing and Smartphone Engagement Patterns

Most of the latest context-based applications capture the mobility of a user using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors like accelerometer and gyroscope which do not need explicit user-permission for application access. Although these sensors provide highly accurate mobility context information, existing studies have shown that they can lead to undesirable leakage of location information. To evade this breach of location privacy, many of the state-of-the-art studies suggest to impose stringent restrictions over the usage of IMU sensors. However, in this paper, we show that typing and smartphone engagement patterns can act as an alternative modality to sniff the mobility context of a user, even if the IMU sensors are not sampled at all. We develop an adversarial framework, named ConType, which exploits the signatures exposed by typing and smartphone engagement patterns to track the mobility of a user. Rigorous experiments with in-the-wild dataset show that ConType can track the mobility contexts with an average micro-F <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</inf> of 0.87 (±0.09), without using IMU data. Through additional experiments, we also show that ConType can track mobility stealthily with very low power and resource footprints, thus further aggravating the risk.

A Cloud, A Gathering, An Echo

This work consists of three wifi networks, each embedded in a different object. Each network, interface and object come together to ask us to perform with them a different type of physical and digital interaction. These interactions bring together familiar aspects of network cultures in unfamiliar ways and ask us to consider how network technologies shape our everyday social, emotional, physical and political performativities. This exhibition offers an opportunity to reflect on and diffract through networked performativities to explore how they might be enacted differently.
