Using Digital Mind Mapping to Improve Writing Skills

There are still many students who lack writing skills. Students are confused about starting a discussion or determining ideas, and the lack of vocabulary makes it difficult for students to write. This study aims to analyze the use of digital mind mapping to improve students' writing skills. This type of research is classroom action research which will be divided into two cycles. cycle 1 in 3 sessions and cycle 2 in 2 sessions. The research subjects were 33 students. The methods used in collecting research data are observation, interviews, and tests. The instruments used to collect data are questionnaires and test sheets. The technique used to analyze the data is descriptive qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results showed that Digital Mind Mapping was effective for improving students' abilities. It was found that the average score of students in the pre-test was 24%, increased to 90% in the post-test I and in the post-test II. There was an increase in the number of students who had not previously achieved the KKM. The increase in the average score of students is also supported by student interest during the teaching and learning process because the method uses technology. In addition, the students found that the Digital Mind Mapping activity helped them organize students' ideas, become critical thinking, creative and improve students' writing.
Factors Affecting Employees’ Commitment In Manufacturing Company

Employees in the private sector made up the majority of those who took part in this survey. This study was conducted quantitatively and questionnaires were sent to 204 employees. The obtained data were analysed, and descriptive and correlation scores were gained. The results discovered that employee’s commitment level was high. Knowledge sharing was the dominating element that influenced the employee’s commitment and showed the highest mean value based on the mean value. This result also revealed that compensation and incentives, training and development, and knowledge sharing affected employee’s commitment in the manufacturing company.
Learning Algorithms, Machine/Deep Learning, and Applied AI

Generating knowledge from data increasingly requires the use of machine learning for various reasons—cognitive, organizational, technical, and operational. While there are a plethora of books, videos, websites, and other resources on machine learning, most content is either too generic or, on the other end of the spectrum, requires an advanced understanding of linear algebra, probability, statistics, and/or computer science.AI and machine learning are not new topics. “Machine Learning (ML) is a paradigm that enables systems to automatically improve their performance at a task by observing relevant data.” A learning algorithm is an algorithm that is able to use all types of data and metadata to learn continuously and progressively. A learning algorithm uses data and experience to self-learn and to perform better over time. Learners are the foundation of any ML system, and they help people achieve generalization via induction or abduction.
Police Cybercrime Training: Strategies, Delivery and Perceptions

This paper reports on a piece of HEFCE/College of Policing funded research exploring police officers’ experiences of undertaking cyber training in a large English police force. A number of issues emerged from the analysis of the data and, whilst police organisations are increasingly seeking to embed cyber knowledge and techniques as core generic skills amongst police officers, the data suggests that this has not been wholly successful. This is for a number of reasons. First, there remains some resistance from officers who believe that cyber knowledge and skills lie beyond the remit of non-specialist officers. Second, that some modes of learning delivery are viewed as substantially more effective than others. Third, that there remain some structural barriers to effective cyber training delivery at the organizational level. These findings are discussed within a context that acknowledges the tension between tacit and codified knowledge in police organisations and the subsequent debate between acquisitive and participatory models of police learning.
Teaching English Through Social Media: Teachers’ Perceptions

Abstract. The use of social media in human’s life is undeniable, including in teaching. Nowadays, some of the social media applications which are commonly used for social relations are now be applied in teaching language skills, especially in teaching English. For this purpose, this study aims to explore the use of social media in teaching English based on the teachers and students’ perceptions. This research applied a qualitative research design taking 50 teachers of English in the universities in Makassar. The data of this research were collected by employing a survey of Google Form and analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The result of the research shows that the English teachers in the universities in Makassar gave their positive perceptions about the use of social media in teaching English. Some of the answers of the informants gave some strategies to be used to take the advantage from the use of social media. It can be seen that some of the social media application such as Instagram and Facebook can be applied in teaching English skills. Findings from this study are worthy of reading for English language teaching practitioners in their effort to create interactive teaching and learning activities in the class.

Differences Between Family and State Education in The Upbringing of Young People in The Spirit of Patriotism and The Principles of Ensuring Their Continuity

Educating young people in the spirit of patriotism is a multi – stage, systematic, purposeful and coordinated activity of state bodies, public associations and organizations aimed at forming a sense of loyalty to the motherland in young people, regardless of nationality, language and profession, educating them as individuals capable of fulfilling their civil duties and constitutional obligations, protecting the interests of society and In this regard, of course, we can say that the role of the family and society is separate. In particular, the main goal of educating young people in the spirit of patriotism is to show activity in various sectors of society, especially in the types of civil service associated with the military sphere, to be faithful to the Constitution and military duty in a peaceful and military environment, to form in them such important features as high responsibility and responsibility for the In this article, the mutual differences between family and public education in the upbringing of young people in the spirit of patriotism and the principles of ensuring their cohesion are discussed
Sparse mixture models inspired by ANOVA decompositions

Inspired by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposition of functions we propose a Gaussian-Uniform mixture model on the high-dimensional torus which relies on the assumption that the function we wish to approximate can be well explained by limited variable interactions. We consider three approaches, namely wrapped Gaussians, diagonal wrapped Gaussians and products of von Mises distributions. The sparsity of the mixture model is ensured by the fact that its summands are products of Gaussian-like density functions acting on low dimensional spaces and uniform probability densities defined on the remaining directions. To learn such a sparse mixture model from given samples, we propose an objective function consisting of the negative log-likelihood function of the mixture model and a regularizer that penalizes the number of its summands. For minimizing this functional we combine the Expectation Maximization algorithm with a proximal step that takes the regularizer into account. To decide which summands of the mixture model are important, we apply a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Numerical examples demonstrate the performance of our approach.
Symbolic Computation in Software Science: My Personal View.

In this note, I develop my personal view on the scope and relevance of symbolic computation in software science. For this, I discuss the interaction and differences between symbolic computation, software science, automatic programming, mathematical knowledge management, artificial intelligence, algorithmic intelligence, numerical computation, and machine learning. In the discussion of these notions, I allow myself to refer also to papers (1982, 1985, 2001, 2003, 2013) of mine in which I expressed my views on these areas at early stages of some of these fields.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Extreme rainfall response based on SAR imaging and home sports training effect

This paper establishes the value relationship model between the imaging performance of GEO bistatic SAR and bistatic geometry and proposes a design method of GEO bistatic SAR imaging method based on genetic algorithm. This method can automatically calculate the best imaging effect through multiple targets and objectively optimize the bistatic geometry configuration method, thus laying a theoretical foundation for high-resolution GEO imaging with bistatic SAR imaging. Accordingly, this study takes the response of Y City to extreme rainfall in 2017 as an example to study its rainfall characteristics, erosion disasters, and erosion causes, so as to evaluate the precipitation flow during rainstorm. Under the condition of gradient erosion in response to extreme rainfall, based on the difficulties of rainfall runoff depth and hydraulic parameters measurement in the Loess Plateau, and in order to prevent the dynamic characteristics of hydraulic erosion in the runoff area of the Loess Plateau, the unconventional scale phenomenon in the Loess Plateau was preliminarily studied. Finally, this paper introduces the research theme of the body and daily activities of the elderly women with mild disability after home exercise intervention and uses literature data method, questionnaire survey method, body measurement method, experimental method, and mathematical statistics method to select 60 elderly women with mild disability after home care. They were randomly divided into the experimental group with 30 people and the control group with the same number of people. In the experimental group, the elderly with mild disability were given a 12-week home exercise intervention experiment, and after the experiment, the indexes of physical fitness were compared with those before the experiment, so as to obtain the feedback of training effect and ability. Through the above experiments, this paper proves the reliability and effectiveness of home exercise intervention training on the improvement of the physical quality of the elderly.

Klasifikasi Varietas Buah Kiwi dengan Metode Convolutional Neural Networks Menggunakan Keras

Kiwi fruit is known as a fruit rich in benefits because it contains many nutrients, sources as well as high antioxidants. In Indonesia, there are two varieties of kiwi fruit sold in the market, namely green kiwi and golden kiwi and there is one more variety, namely red kiwi. The content of the three varieties is different and the price is also different. Gold kiwi has the highest nutritional content so that the price is above other kiwi varieties, but from the outside the appearance of this kiwi fruit at a glance is the same and many people do not recognize the kiwi variety they will buy even though these three kiwi varieties have different tastes and nutritional content. For this reason, the researcher proposes a classification system for kiwi fruit varieties using the hard CNN method. The CNN method is one of the deep learning methods that can be used to recognize and classify an object in a digital image. Then the preprocessing process is carried out using labeling on the data. Then the CNN architecture is designed with Input containing 320x258x3 neurons. The data was then trained using 25 epochs with an accuracy rate of 0.98. Then the test data using test data get an average accuracy value of 0.987, while for precision and recall it is also the same at 0.987
The Effect of Heavy Metal Concentration on the Soil of Odagbo Area, Kogi State Nigeria

The study is aimed at evaluating the effect of coal mining on the soil of Odagbo area,Kogi State,Nigeria. Twenty-eight (28) soil samples were collected each in the wet and dry seasons where twenty-one of the samples were from a mining site while seven samples were from the control site at depths of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 m respectively.The heavy metal concentration of the samples were determined using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS).Standard pollution indices such as I-geo and Pollution Indices were deployed to assess the level of heavy metal presence in the soil.The result showed the order of dominance of the heavy metals monitored as Fe>Ni>Zn>Mn>Cr>Pb>Cd>Cu>Co.The mean concentration levels of all the heavy metals were lower than mean control values except Cu and Fe during the dry season.The results of the study revealed that the soil of the Odagbo is polluted by all the tested heavy metals based on the calculated PI and I-geo for the heavy metals.The PI was 1≤ PI ≤ 2 for all the depths except for the elevated case of copper thus indicating practically low to moderate contamination.The I-geo was mostly less than 0 at all the depths except for the elevated cases of copper, iron and zinc during the dry season and Copper and Iron during the wet season thus indicating uncontaminated condition.In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the distribution of metal concentration when compared to the control site was largely influenced by anthropogenic activities particular from the coal mining site.
Risk, creative spaces and creative identity in creative technologies research

In this chapter, I will draw on over ten years of practice-based research that applies emerging technologies, algorithms and code as a creative medium in the areas of music performance, music composition and media art installation. I will consider the competing demands of making things work technically and artistically, and the nature of collaborative work. I will consider my own recent research and that of a current PhD student as case studies in how this works in an academic context. Two concepts will structure the discussion. The first considers the question of time commitment and risk when undertaking specific activities, in relation to expected outcomes. I will look at how a practitioner handles the risk of an idea not working out at all and the more pragmatic risk of unexpected barriers to success. The second considers how much effort goes into setting up a creative space, through prior technical work and design thinking. I will look at examples of building creative freedom into a tool.
Contrastive estimation reveals topic posterior information to linear models

Contrastive learning is an approach to representation learning that utilizes naturally occurring similar and dissimilar pairs of data points to find useful embeddings of data. In the context of document classification under topic modeling assumptions, we prove that contrastive learning is capable of recovering a representation of documents that reveals their underlying topic posterior information to linear models. We apply this procedure in a semi-supervised setup and demonstrate empirically that linear classifiers with these representations perform well in document classification tasks with very few training examples.
