Analisis Perbandingan Pola Aliran Pada Bangunan Pelimpah Ogee Dan Stepped Dengan Model Fisik 2D

A spillway building is usually a structure followed by a steep channel. Flow velocity is very dependent on the slope of the bottom channel which causes super critical flow. Besides being fast, the flow in a steep channel also has a considerable energy, so it must be able to be suppressed. The energy reduction in this study was attempted with a stepped spillway. Step weir is a modification of the standard profile for Ogee type weir. This is the background of the author in taking the title of the thesis about Comparative Analysis of Flow Patterns in Ogee and Stepped Overflow Buildings with 2-D Physical Models. The results of this study indicate that the results of the energy line height at the H3 (downstream overflow) point at the upstream height of 3 cm for Ogee are 2.68 cm, and for stepped it is 2.31 cm. There was a decrease in energy by 13.80%. This shows that the stepped spillway can absorb energy better than the Ogee type. The results of observing the flow pattern on the stepped spillway for each increase in the flow rate that overflow in the spillway can be concluded that the flow pattern that occurs is a transition flow to a skimming flow.

Investigating Numeracy Learning Ability of a Text-to-Text Transfer Model

The transformer-based pre-trained language models have been tremendously successful in most of the conventional NLP tasks. But they often struggle in those tasks where numerical understanding is required. Some possible reasons can be the tokenizers and pre-training objectives which are not specifically designed to learn and preserve numeracy. Here we investigate the ability of text-to-text transfer learning model (T5), which has outperformed its predecessors in the conventional NLP tasks, to learn numeracy. We consider four numeracy tasks: numeration, magnitude order prediction, finding minimum and maximum in a series, and sorting. We find that, although T5 models perform reasonably well in the interpolation setting, they struggle considerably in the extrapolation setting across all four tasks.
Factors Affecting Students’ Satisfaction and Academic Performance in Open &amp; Distance Learning (ODL)

The worldwide education systems are crippled, inevitably leading to the near-total closure of school establishments, early childhood educations, colleges as well as universities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.As of May 2021, approximately 1.2 billion students from all over the world were affected.As a result, education essentials dramatically adjust with the distinctive rise of e-learning tools, wherein teaching is now undertaken remotely on digital platforms.Realizing the grave current situation and the importance of education, this study aims to understand the factors affecting student satisfaction; the effect of student satisfaction; and perceived performance with academic performance in an open and distance learning (ODL) environment.The data were collected from 239 respondents via online surveys, which comprises accounting students in the UiTM Perak branch, Tapah campus.The analysis of the findings shows that the course design is the main factor that affected student satisfaction in ODL.In terms of academic performance, the findings revealed that only perceived performance had a positive influence, whereas student satisfaction had no effect.

Local Banking to 45&amp;deg;: Axis Grid Generation for Line Charts

Axis grid is a basic reference structure that assists people in reading line charts.In this paper, we focus on axis labels that help people perceive slopes in line charts.A series of user studies are conducted to explore the influence of local aspect ratio on the task of slope estimation in line charts.We evaluate the influence of different experimental conditions by calculating the errors between the user estimated slope and the ground truth.The results show that appropriate grid density and squarified grid aspect ratio increase the estimation accuracy of line segment slopes.Accordingly, we propose a new algorithm for generating axis grid considering the maximal label, the minimal label and label intervals for line charts.Following the previous criteria of simplicity, coverage and overlap, our algorithm applies the squarifed local aspect ratio to the joint optimization of the tick marks of both horizontal and vertical axis to generate aesthetic axis grid that helps increase graphical perception accuracy.
Improved Coefficient Recovery and Its Application for Rewritable Data Embedding

JPEG is the most commonly utilized image coding standard for storage and transmission purposes. It achieves a good rate-distortion trade-off, and it has been adopted by many, if not all, handheld devices. However, often information loss occurs due to transmission error or damage to the storage device. To address this problem, various coefficient recovery methods have been proposed in the past, including a divide-and-conquer approach to speed up the recovery process. However, the segmentation technique considered in the existing method operates with the assumption of a bi-modal distribution for the pixel values, but most images do not satisfy this condition. Therefore, in this work, an adaptive method was employed to perform more accurate segmentation, so that the real potential of the previous coefficient recovery methods can be unleashed. In addition, an improved rewritable adaptive data embedding method is also proposed that exploits the recoverability of coefficients. Discrete cosine transformation (DCT) patches and blocks for data hiding are judiciously selected based on the predetermined precision to control the embedding capacity and image distortion. Our results suggest that the adaptive coefficient recovery method is able to improve on the conventional method up to 27% in terms of CPU time, and it also achieved better image quality with most considered images. Furthermore, the proposed rewritable data embedding method is able to embed 20,146 bits into an image of dimensions 512×512.
Metadata Sharing – How to Transfer Metadata Information among Work Cluster Members

The German National Library (DNB) is using a clustering technique to aggregate works from the database Culturegraph. Culturegraph collects bibliographic metadata records from all German Regional Library Networks, the Austrian Library Network, and DNB. This stock of about 180 million records serves as the basis for work clustering—the attempt to assemble all manifestations of a work in one cluster. The results of this work clustering are not employed in the display of search results, as other similar approaches successfully do, but for transferring metadata elements among the cluster members. In this paper the transfer of content-descriptive metadata elements such as controlled and uncontrolled index terms and classifications and links to name records in the German Integrated Authority File (GND) are described. In this way, standardization and cross linking can be improved and the richness of metadata description can be enhanced.
Obrazovni efekti kontekstualnog učenja u nastavi srpskog jezika

This research demonstrates the results of the first experimental assessment of the educational outcomes of contextual learning in the traditional and innovative teaching systems (responsible teaching and different complexity levels teaching). The ultimate aim of the experimental assessment is to determine whether the contextual learning in teaching process results in more favorable educational effects while being realistically assessed and whether it is possible to enhance the contextual learning and innovative teaching in our schools to overcome the limitations of mainly de-contextual learning based on the conservative didactic paradigm. During the 2018/19 school year, the experiment was carried out with grade five students from three elementary schools within the field of Serbian language. Each of the three elementary schools had two experimental and two assessment classes. The experimental effectiveness of the didactically and methodologically founded new exercises of contextual learning and complementary teaching was assessed. The method of an experiment with parallel groups, method of analysis and synthesis, and comparative method were applied in the research. After the initial and final assessment, it was determined that the systematic exercises of the contextual learning compared to the dominating de-contextual learning exercises made a significant impact on the increase of educational achievements determined by the reading speed and text comprehension tests. No significant impact was detected on the students' speaking ability. The obtained results provide more reliable starting points for more systematic and comprehensive pedagogical, psychological, didactical, and methodological research of contextual learning in the teaching process and indicate positive educational effects.
Proses Analisis dalam Perbaikan Algoritma Line Maze Solving untuk Jalur Lengkung dan Zig-zag

Line Maze Solving algorithm is an algorithm for line follower robot that is used on maze with right angle intersections. Previous work has improved the algorithm so that it can be used for the maze with curved and zig-zag intersections. The improvement was done because the algorithm only recognizes right angle intersections. This research presented the analysis process of the improvement of the algorithm in details, hence the difference between Line Maze Solving algorithm before and after the improvement can be seen clearly.
Research Experiences beyond the Comfort Zone

The intersection between design and care is shaping new design fields that are both promising and challenging.Design for healthcare is one of these fields: it brings opportunities for improving people's experience of care through design research, but it takes designers out of their comfort zone.Scholars have reported success doing design for healthcare, but not much has been said about challenges, failures or confrontations found in this field.This paper argues that we should care more about discomforting aspects of design research to get a better understanding of what designing together involves.It presents a case of care (in)action and employs a personal approach to discuss challenges and confrontations that I faced doing research at the intersection of design, care and health.
Challenging the Semi-Supervised VAE Framework for Text Classification

Semi-Supervised Variational Autoencoders (SSVAEs) are widely used models for data efficient learning. In this paper, we question the adequacy of the standard design of sequence SSVAEs for the task of text classification as we exhibit two sources of overcomplexity for which we provide simplifications. These simplifications to SSVAEs preserve their theoretical soundness while providing a number of practical advantages in the semi-supervised setup where the result of training is a text classifier. These simplifications are the removal of (i) the Kullback-Liebler divergence from its objective and (ii) the fully unobserved latent variable from its probabilistic model. These changes relieve users from choosing a prior for their latent variables, make the model smaller and faster, and allow for a better flow of information into the latent variables. We compare the simplified versions to standard SSVAEs on 4 text classification tasks. On top of the above-mentioned simplification, experiments show a speed-up of 26%, while keeping equivalent classification scores. The code to reproduce our experiments is public.
La perspectiva docente sobre las TIC desde su experiencia con la educación virtual

The resistance of teachers to technological change generated little intrusion of technologies in the classroom, however, the pandemic caused by COVID-19 caused uncertainty and unbalance in the comfort zone, forcing them to migrate to virtual learning environments.It arises the need to know whether the experience lived from a virtual modality generated a change of perspective about ICTs in education for teachers in a federal elementary school. A qualitative descriptive research was carried out from phenomoenology, recovering the data through a semistructured interview, the results show that through the experiences that  the teachers went by, changed their perspective on ICTs generating knowledge from pragmatism, it is concluded the importance of direct experimentation, teacher training and school equipment as measures for the incorporation of ICTs into classrooms.

IMPROVEMENT OF NAVIGATION SYSTEMS OF VEHICLES BY MEANS OF INERTIAL SENSORS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING USING PROBABILITY-GEOMETRIC METHODS

Providing high accuracy of the coordinates and trajectories of objects by measurements conducted in navigation systems and complexes is an urgent task, which improves safety and efficiency of different modes of transport. However difficult environmental conditions, where vehicles are commonly used, stipulate influence of different factors on performance of onboard satellite navigation receivers, which are used as basic navigation devices for ground vehicle nowadays. Setting on cars used for common purposes additional navigation devices, which provide better performance, in most cases is economically unreasonable. Economically reasonable ways to improve onboard navigation complexes of vehicles, which are used for common purposes, are examined in this article. Functional diagram and principles of work of navigational complex, which uses the satellite navigation receiver and simplified variant of inertial navigation system is pointed as well. Also, the justification of methods for minimizing the error formats of coordinates and trajectories of moving objects based on information processing in multipositional, in particular satellite-inertial navigation systems and complexes, is presented. The obtained research results give an opportunity to develop an algorithm for coordinate refinement, which can be implemented in the improved on-board navigational complex of vehicle. KEY WORDS: NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND COMPLEXES, INERTIAL SENSORS, NAVIGATION DEFINITIONS, ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF COORDINATES AND TRAJECTORIES OF MOVING OBJECTS, ELLIPS OF ERRORS, PROBABILISTIC-GEOMETRIC METHODS.

Extensive Reading: A Strategy to Promote Reading Competency of Pre-Service Teachers

This action research was conducted to introduce pre-service teachers with extensive reading as a strategy to promote their reading competency. The participants were 23 first-year pre-service teachers majoring in English Language Education at a private university in Jakarta. The extensive reading activity was embedded with Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course and held for five weeks. During the implementation, they were asked to create a response log and a digital story telling or a comic strip to check their understanding about the texts they read. At the end of the activity, the pre-service teachers were asked to fill in the online survey to find out their response about the extensive reading. Based on the survey, the participants stated that extensive reading activity could gain their vocabulary knowledge by guessing unfamiliar words from context and improve their reading comprehension skills. In addition, some participants who did not use to read a lot, revealed that they develop confidence on reading. On the other hand, auditory and visual participants found this activity quite challenging since they prefer to watch a video rather than reading a text.
Corpus Creation and Evaluation for Speech-to-Text and Speech Translation

The National Virtual Translation Center (NVTC) seeks to acquire human language technology (HLT) tools that will facilitate its mission to provide verbatim English translations of foreign language audio and video files. In the text domain, NVTC has been using translation memory (TM) for some time and has reported on the incorporation of machine translation (MT) into that workflow (Miller et al., 2020). While we have explored the use of speech-totext (STT) and speech translation (ST) in the past (Tzoukermann and Miller, 2018), we have now invested in the creation of a substantial human-made corpus to thoroughly evaluate alternatives. Results from our analysis of this corpus and the performance of HLT tools point the way to the most promising ones to deploy in our workflow.
