Enhancing teaching practices at Penza State University

The article examines the major challenges that Russian higher education institutions face while introducing the principles of the Bologna Process into current teaching practice. Their participation in the international projects together with European HEIs is seen as one of the possible ways to overcome the encountered difficulties. The role of the Capacity Building projects under the Erasmus+ Programme is illustrated by an example of Penza State University and its involvement in the ENTEP project (Enhancing Teaching Practice in Higher Education in RUSSIA and CHINA). The main stages of implementing the project at PSU are revealed, the project outputs and outcomes are described, as well as the perspectives for further adaptation of the project results are outlined. The article describes the professional development course “Enhancing teaching practices at PSU”, which was developed within the ENTEP project and offered for teaching and administrative staff of the university. The project contribution at the university is assessed in terms of adopting the best teaching practices in the context of the Bologna Process and European Higher Education Area.
Vectors to ore in replacive VMS deposits of the northern Iberian Pyrite Belt: the case study of Aguas Te&amp;#241;idas deposit

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits represent a major source of base, precious and other metals of economic and industrial importance. The Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) is an outstanding VMS district located in the SW Iberian Peninsula. It is arguably the largest known accumulation of sulphides on the Earth&amp;amp;#8217;s crust, and represents the main mining area in Spain and one of the main zones of base metal production in Europe. As in other mining areas, progressive exhaustion of the most shallow and easily accessible deposits is leading to increasingly complex exploration. In this context, the combined study of the mineral systems and the development of new exploration strategies and technologies based on geophysical methods and vectors to ore play a vital role.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vectors to ore have the potential to detect the nearby presence of an ore deposit, and to provide information on its likely location or characteristics. But work on vectors to ore in IPB is far from systematic or complete. Previous works have focused on the study of the larger exhalative shale-hosted deposits of the southern IPB or the giant Rio Tinto deposit, but little attention has been paid to the predominantly volcanic rock hosted replacive deposits of the northern IPB, which, although generally smaller in size compared to southern deposits, typically present higher base metal concentrations.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In this work we have performed a detailed study of the main vectors to ore currently used in the exploration of VMS systems on a representative volcanic rock hosted replacive VMS deposit located in the northern IPB, the Aguas Te&amp;amp;#241;idas deposit. These have included: mineralized unit identification based on whole rock geochemistry, study of the characteristics and behaviour of whole rock geochemical anomalies around the ore (e.g. alteration-related compositional changes, characteristics and extent of geochemical halos around the deposit), with definition of mineralization-related indicative elements threshold values, application of portable XRF analysis to the detection of the previous vectors, and characterization of major elements trends in mineral chemistry (muscovite, chlorite, carbonate) within and away from the mineralized system.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Data presented in this work are not only applicable to VMS exploration in the IPB, but on a broader scale they will also contribute to improve our general understating of vectors to ore in replacive-type VMS deposits.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The authors thank MATSA for providing information and access to drill-cores from Aguas Te&amp;amp;#241;idas deposit. This research has been conducted within the NEXT (New Exploration Technologies) project and has received funding by the European Union&amp;amp;#8217;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 776804.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
Literature in Digital Environments: Changes and Emerging Trends in Australian School Libraries

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; Igniting a passion for reading and research is core business for school libraries, inevitably placing the library at the center of the 21st century reading and learning experience. It is in this context that digital literature creates some challenging questions for teachers and librarians in schools, while the emergence of digital technology and/or device options also offers a great many opportunities. Collection development in school libraries encompasses an understanding of the need to contextualize these e-literature needs within the learning and teaching experiences in the school. The Australian Library and Information Association’s 2013 statement Future of collections 50:50 predicted that library print and ebook collections in libraries would establish a 50:50 equilibrium by 2020 and that this balance would be maintained for the foreseeable future. This statement from the Australian professional body raised the need to know more about e-collections in school libraries. For teacher librarians in Australian schools, the nature of online collections, and the integration of ebooks into the evolving reading culture is influenced by the range and diversity of texts, interfaces, devices, and experiences available to complement existing print and media collections or services. Management and budget constraints also influence e-collections. By undertaking a review of the literature, a discussion of the education context, and a critical analysis of the trends evidenced by national survey data, this paper presents an overview of the changes and emerging trends in digital literature and ebook collections in school library services in Australia today.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

Knowledge Bases: The Heart of Resource Management

This session discussed the knowledge base metadata lifecycle, current and upcoming metadata standards, and the role that knowledge bases play in e-resource management. The session provided different perspectives on knowledge bases, including from librarians, one of whom is a former knowledge base e-content analyst, and product managers, as well as a discussion of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) Knowledge Bases and Related Tools (KBART) Automation: Automated Retrieval of Customer Electronic Holdings recommended practice and what this could mean for knowledge bases in the future. The session included a conversation regarding how leveraging knowledge bases can aid librarians in improving resource discovery within their own libraries and ultimately decrease the amount of time spent on metadata workflows.
Blended Model of Distance Learning: Does It Effective?

This study aims to determine whether distance learning is effective to implement. This study compares the blended model of distance learning with traditional learning. What is being compared is student learning outcomes and their perceptions in these two lessons. This research is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental research design with a time-series model. The population of this research is all 4th-semester students who take Digital Electronics courses. Data collection was carried out in two ways, namely by using several tests for data on learning outcomes and questionnaires for student perception data. Data analysis was made using the t-test for paired samples. The results of the analysis obtained that there are differences in the two samples tested mean and the distance learning blended model has a higher average than traditional learning.

Inquiry learning

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; Inquiry learning is a concept familiar to Brazilian librarians, who have been expressing concern about their contribution in innovating the learning process. It is therefore necessary that future librarians experience this learning strategy during their education. This study aimed to investigate: 1) how library students exposed repeatedly to strategies of inquiry learning react; 2) the difficulties they encounter in the process; 3) and what types of learning they acquire. Data were collected through in depth interviews with undergraduate library students taking an Information Literacy Course. Data analysis was based on Kuhlthau’s ISP model (2004) and in the five types of learning (Kuhlthau; Maniotes &amp; Caspari, 2012) Results, that cannot be generalized, show that students reacted positively to the strategy, although they reported several difficulties. In conclusion the repetition of the inquiry learning process became important for students to feel more secure and confident and for their difficulties to be minimized. On the whole the acquisition of the five types of learning was observed.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;
Group Lasso for Identifying Tuberculosis Influenced Factors in West Java

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria that can affect serious infection in the lungs. It can spread from one person to another through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes. West Java is one of the locations with the largest TB sufferer in Indonesia. This research used the number of TB cases data in West Java 2017 to identify group of factors that can influence TB infections. The group factors applied include health factor, environment factor, health facility factor, and demography factor. The method that used in this research was group lasso. After the group factors have been identified, the ordinary least square applied to determine significant factors to affect TB infections based on these group factors. The selected group factors of this research was health factor, environment factor, and health facility factor significant to influence TB cases. Furthermore, number of diarrhea sufferers, unemployment, and number of malnutrition sufferers were significant to be the variables that important to affect the TB cases in West Java based on ordinary least square.
MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF QUANTUM COMPUTING

Quantum computing is a propitious technology which is likely to revolutionize computing.It differs from classical computing, in context of the algorithms it requires for computations and the methods of implementation which correspond to the principles of quantum mechanics.The clock frequency of existing computer processor systems may reach about 40 GHz within the next decade.By then one atom may represent one bit, but electrons under such conditions cannot be described by classical physics, due to this a new model of computing becomes absolutely inevitable.The prospect of quantum computing may have the potential in dealing with the problems faced by classical computing.
Engaging readers through choice

School Library Policies usually include, .”the development of a life long love of reading/literature”. Choosing a good book to read is like choosing an artwork for your house. It is subject to personal taste, artistic preference and personal experiences. The Teacher Librarian can play a pivotal role in supporting students reading for enjoyment, both formally and informally within the school. By personalizing and developing choice as part of formal reading programs, they can assist students to develop their love of reading and indulge their passion for certain types of literature in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Cold As A Useful Factor In Physical Education

The article raises the problem of an interdisciplinary study of the influence of natural cold on the intellectual development of a person, on the spiritual and physical condition of a person.In the welfare countries, the historically formed attitude of fear of the cold is replaced by the controlled management of the subjugated, restrained power of the cold, which has become the source of business, entertain ment and a tourist brand.The authors introduce the concepts of -dual cold‖, -frozen culture‖ to study the cold as a useful factor in physical education.The article substantiates the conclusion that the usefulness of cold as an educational tool is based on five basic principles of survival in extreme cold: sensation, harmonious beauty of the body and spirit, mutual assistance, creativity and freedom, which have specific forms and contents under the influence of natural and climatic influences on the vitality of man.For the first time, the results of a sociological study conducted in 2017 to identify the range of comfortable winter and summer temperatures in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (n = 332) are presented.The authors propose introducing into the educational process of professional educational organizations in the field of physical education and sports the study of the peculiarities of physical education in extreme cold.

Blur removal in QR code images using directional aperture filter

Quick Response (QR) bar code is an extensively utilized matrix 2Dbar code. Consumers are becoming familiar with acquiring informationvia handheld and wearable devices because of the wide-expansion ofwireless network infrastructures. QR code is considered as a containerfilled with information whereby smart devices can directly capture anddecode this information and at high speed. A preprocessing system hasbeen proposed in this paper for enhancing QR code images sufferingfrom low-quality. This paper introduces a deblurring module whichparticularly characterized by robust and real time operation which is anappropriate solution for the challenging introduced problem. This paperfocuses on sharpening out of focus and motion blur QR code images byusing a proposed aperture filter design. The most important reasons forthese problems are because of lens imperfection, an out of focus scanningdevice or camera movement during the capturing process. The key pointof the proposed design is that the gradient edge directions are utilized inindexing the patterns instead of the intensity of the pixel under test. Theproposed technique provides useful innovation as an approach to QRcode image sharpening to increasing consumer satisfaction. Finally, thesignificant improvement of the proposed algorithm has been indicatedby means of a number of applied experiments followed by statisticalanalysis. This study proved that the proposed method outperforms manyother sharpener type filters in both preserving of edges and minimizingdistortion of signals.
The Conditions of Existence of the Extremal Element for the Problem of Finding the Distance Between Two Sets, the Unity of an Extremal Element for its Equivalent Problem, the Properties of the Function of the Distance

The theory of approximation of a function is a direction of mathematics which is intensively developing. The work of P. L. Chebyshev in 1857 is considered the beginning of the modern theory of approximations. It is devoted to polynomials that deviate the least from zero. In this work, the concept of the best approximation was introduced. Later, problems were investigated in which individual functions approached with polynomials, trigonometric polynomials, rational functions, etc. in different metrics. These tasks are a partial case of the problem of the best approximation of an element of linear normed space by convex set of this space. General theorems of existence, uniqueness of an extremal element, properties of the best approximation functional, duality theorems and criteria of an extremal element for this problem are established [1]. The more general problem are problem of finding the distance between two sets of linear normalized space is also considered [2, 3]. In [4, 5] the relations of duality, criteria of extremal element and sequence are proved for this problem. In this article established the conditions of the existence of an extremal element for the problem of finding the distance between two sets of linearly normalized space, the conditions of the unity of an extremal element for its equivalent problem, the properties of the function of the distance and formulas for finding an extremal element for the problem of finding the distance between two closed spheres of this space. &nbsp
Kualitas Pembelajaran Mahasiswa Selama Kuliah Online

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Between the world of education and technology cannot be separated because these two sides are interrelated, student learning can be done online and offline by looking at the situation and conditions. The abilities and limitations they have are also different, so there is a need for a policy by dividing the zones in implementing online lectures based on the quality of the internet network owned by each region where the student comes from. The quality of the learning process can be seen from the quality of the lecturers who teach and the learning media used, especially in online learning everything has to adjust. The problem of an unstable internet network and lecturers who are not fully ready to teach online are the main problems in online learning. So that is the importance of dividing 3 zones for the application of online lectures, zone 1 network is strong and stable can study online, zone 2 network is less strong and stable, online and offline lectures and zone 3 networks are not yet available so offline lectures are conducted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Watermarking Technique using Image Characteristics

In this paper, we propose an image watermarking technique that effectively hides confidential data in the LSB of image pixels by utilizing the characteristics of the image. In the proposed technique, the image is precisely divided into boundary surface and normal region other than the boundary surface and performs different processing. The boundary surface existing in the image is created by meeting different regions and contains important information of the image. One bit of confidential data is concealed in the LSB of the pixel at the boundary surface to preserve the characteristics of the boundary surface. In normal region other than the boundary surface, the pixel values are similar, and the change with the adjacent pixel values is smooth. Based on this property, even if the 2 bits of confidential data are hidden in the lower 2 bits of the pixel in the normal region, the difference cannot be visually distinguished. When confidential data is concealed in an image as described above, the amount of confidential data concealed in an image can be increased while maintaining excellent image quality. Concealing confidential data by applying the proposed method increases the amount of confidential data concealed by up to 84.6% compared to the existing method. The proposed technique can be effectively used for commercial image watermarking that hides copyright information.
