METODE CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING (CTL) PADA PEMBELAJARAN BE GOING TO VS WILL DI SMK NEGERI 2 MANADO

Contextual Teaching and Learning Approach (CTL) is one form of approach that can be said to be capable and very suitable to be a model of appropriate learning when applying the form of material in the classroom. Learning the form of CTL is closely related to the context, atmosphere or circumstances that can be interpreted also as learning related to a particular atmosphere. Talking about the atmosphere has to do with the use of the time form also known as tense. A little interesting about the Simple Future Tense that is raised to the core of learning because of this Tense became one of the important parts in the use of Grammar on learning English where we can express or declare actions in the future. This form uses the word 'will' and 'shall' (short form:’ll) plus infinitive. Besides using the form of 'going to' to be able to declare the time to come and the intention of the speaker to do something, for example I'm going to stop smoking '. CTL's role can make learning more effective and even create a fun and non-boring atmosphere, providing experiences that are closely related to the real world of learners and using a variety of learning resources; and therefore the method on CTL can provide understanding, development of science, the develop of knowledge and contextual understanding of learners about the relationship of subjects with what found learners in everyday life.Keywords : CTL, BE GOING TO vs WILL
Chemical Speciation, Bioavailability and Risk Assessment of Potentially Toxic Metals in Highway Dusts as Indicators of Highway Pollution

This paper investigated concentrations of heavy metals in roadside soil dusts collected along Ife-Ibadan highway in Osun state, Nigeria with the aim of assessing the impacts of vehicular emissions on the environments.The soil dusts were analyzed for total metal concentrations and speciation using Atomic absorption spectrophotometry followed by the evaluation of the metal bioavailability.Results of the total metal analysis indicated that the concentrations of the metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn) were higher in the contaminated soils than control soils and their WHO maximum allowable limits.The pattern of the total mean concentrations of the metals is in the order: Fe > Cu > Mn > Zn > Pb.The contamination factors of the metals showed that the soils suffered contamination.Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that differences existed significantly in the mean values for all the metals across the study sites.Strong correlation among the metals signified common contamination sources.Cluster analysis produced two major groups: A (Fe and Cu) and B (Zn, Mn and Pb) which is subdivided into two subgroups viz: Bi (Zn and Mn) and Bii (Pb), indicating similar chemical properties/or sources.The results of the T-test indicated that there were significant differences between the concentrations of the metals in contaminated and control soils.The chemical pools of the metals indicated that the metals were distributed into six fractions with most of the metals residing in the non-residual fractions, suggesting how readily the metals are released into the environment.

Secure distributed ledgers to support IoT technologies data

Blockchain and Tangle are data structures used to create an immutable public record of data insured by a network of peer-to-peer participants who maintain a set of constantly growing data records known as ledgers. Blockchain and Tangle technologies are a decentralized solution that guarantees the exchange of large amounts of trusted messages, among billions of connected IoT devices, which are very valuable as they are valid and complete. This highly encrypted and secure peer-to-peer messaging mechanism is adopted in this project to manage the processing of IoT transactions and the coordination between the devices that interact with the process. To maintain private transactions, secure and trustless, the distributed consensus algorithms are responsible for validating and choosing transactions and recording them in the global ledger. The results showed that the speed of the consensus algorithms can affect the creation in real time of reliable stories that track the events of the IoT networks. After incorporating Complex Event Processing that allows selecting only those high level events, it is possible to get an improvement in many situations. The result is a Middleware system that provides a framework for the construction of large-scale computer applications that use Complex Events Processing and different decentralized ledgers such as the blockchain of Ethereum or IOTA Tangle, for secure data storage.

Study on the Green Management Problems of the Chaidamu Circular Economy Experimental Zone’s Enterprises and Its Countermeasures

Since the reform and opening up, China's secondary industry has accelerated its development. The emergence of high energy consumption will inevitably lead to high pollution and high emissions, which will endanger China's ecological environment. For enterprises in the Chaidamu circular economy pilot zone, industrial development relying on resource enrichment in the experimental area is one of the main paths for rapid expansion, which makes the ecological environment of the experimental area more sensitive and the ecosystem more vulnerable. Nowadays, the ecological environment of the test area has been unable to withstand such rapid environmental degradation. How to solve the contradiction between economic development and environmental protection, achieve rapid and good development is a prominent problem facing the development of enterprises in the experimental area. Green management of enterprises is the best choice to solve this problem. This paper first introduces the general situation of Golmud, Delingha, Wulan and Dachaidan circular economy industrial park enterprises, and analyzes the main problems of green management in the experimental area. The employees have weak green awareness, low input cost of scientific and technological innovation, and follow-up treatment of waste. Incomplete and low ecological risk identification, it proposes to strengthen the talents of circular economy, enhance the management of technological innovation, accelerate the construction of enterprise ring system and enhance employees' ecological risk awareness
Underlying mechanisms of temporal dynamics in bistable perception

Individuals differ in how fast they process and interpret input information, make choices, and control movements. In order to uncover underlying factors that produce variability in human brain dynamics across individuals, we measured switching dynamics for four relatively independent bistable perceptual phenomena (Necker Cube, Rotating Cylinder, Translating Diamond, and Biological Motion, based on Cao et al, 2018). In each individual, we also acquired data characterizing their attentional abilities (alerting, orienting, executive control), rates of information accumulation in perceptual decision making, levels of internal noise, perceptual grouping ability, and magnitude of sensory adaptation. Results from 90 participants show that different types of bistable perception are differentially influenced by attentional, noise, and perceptual decision factors. Base on robust factor analysis (Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI)>0.97, RMSEA< 0.05) using the Maximum Likelihood method of extraction, fast switching of point-light biological motion (front vs. back view of walker) was associated with stronger attentional orienting effect as well as better perceptual grouping of contours. Higher intrinsic additive noise and poor executive attentional control are associated with longer periods of ungrouped bars instead of the coherent translating diamond. Interestingly, slower rate of information accumulation in perceptual decision regarding a subjective Kanizsa shape predicts longer periods of perceiving the coherent translating diamond and slower switching of the rotating cylinder from structure-from-motion. Participants with stronger effects of attentional alerting showed faster switching when viewing the Necker cube. Our results provide further support that individual differences in brain dynamics arise from independent differences in dynamics of the supporting brain regions. In addition, intrinsic noise, different aspects of attention are differentially important for the switching dynamics of different bistable phenomena.
CONSTRUCTING A SIMPLE DISTILLATION APPARATUS FROM USED GOODS BY USING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

Students had been challenged to build a simple distillation apparatus by using project-based learning. In these project of the apparatus, they were applied their knowledges and skills to look for an alternative replacement tools, plan, build, and test the functioning of the apparatus. A simple distillation apparatus was designed and constructed by students where some tools could be replaced with used goods, such as: (1) a bunsen burner could be replaced with an spirit-wall lamp; (2) a soft drink glass bottle replaces a Pyrex flask as a distilling flask; (3) a modified plastic bottle with alumunium tube and plastic hoses replaces a glass tubing as a condenser, and (4) a modified dynamo from car toys was used as aerator with source of electric current from battery, power bank, or electric using phone charger. The apparatus already could be used to purify sea water that modeled by saline solution. The distillates were clearer and colorless compared to saline solution and did not conduct electricity. Based on that, the project was improved students’ understanding and creative thinking skills on the distillation concepts.
Atlas of neonatal face images using triangular Meshes

Over the last years, neonatal face analysis has allowed the investigation and creation of non-invasive methods that enable classiﬁcation of painful stimulus in newborns. In this context, changes on facial movements and expression have provided relevant scientiﬁc information and clinical signiﬁcance, since they describe the presence of the pain itself perceived by the newborns. In this work, we propose and implement a computational framework that uses triangular meshes, with the goal of generating high resolution spatially normalized atlases potentially useful for automatic neonatal pain assessment.

An Occlusion Probability Model for Improving the Rendering Quality of Views

Occlusion as a common phenomenon in object surface can seriously affect information collection of light field. To visualize light field data-set, occlusions are usually idealized and neglected for most prior light field rendering (LFR) algorithms. However, the 3D spatial structure of some features may be missing to capture some incorrect samples caused by occlusion discontinuities. To solve this problem, we propose an occlusion probability (OCP) model to improve the capturing information and the rendering quality of views with occlusion for the LFR. In this OCP model, a probability density model is applied to obtain the scores of visibility are modeled as hidden variables. The occlusion probability is calculated by the visibility, position and orientation of camera. We compare different capturing/reconstruction techniques to visualize/manipulate our OCP model.

EL: Local Image Descriptor Based on Extreme Responses to Partial Derivatives of 2D Gaussian Function

We propose a two-part local image descriptor EL (Edges and Lines), based on the strongest image responses to the first- and second-order partial derivatives of the two-dimensional Gaussian function. Using the steering theorems, the proposed method finds the filter orientations giving the strongest image responses. The orientations are quantized, and the magnitudes of the image responses are histogrammed. Iterative adaptive thresholding of histogram values is then applied to normalize the histogram, thereby making the descriptor robust to nonlinear illumination changes. The two-part descriptor is empirically evaluated on the HPatches benchmark for three different tasks, namely, patch verification, image matching, and patch retrieval. The proposed EL descriptor outperforms the traditional descriptors such as SIFT and RootSIFT on all three evaluation tasks and the deep-learning-based descriptors DeepCompare, DeepDesc, and TFeat on the tasks of image matching and patch retrieval.
Adults prefer to look at real objects more than photos

Recent research has found that real objects appear to be processed for longer than visually matched photographs, both in terms of brain activation in adults and looking times in infants. Here we asked whether adults, like infants, would prefer to look at real objects over pictures. A head-fixed eye tracker was used to record gaze locations in adult participants while they viewed a pair of stimuli side by side. Half the stimuli were physically real items while the other half were photos, matched for size and viewpoint, presented on a computer monitor. Paired items were visually similar but not identical (e.g., a real orange could be paired with a photo of a peach or vice versa). Participants spent longer looking at the real object compared to the photo (57% vs. 43% of total looking time). These results suggest similar real-object preferences for adults as infants that may account for a variety of other behavioral and neuroimaging differences. More generally, looking preference techniques appear informative in adults as well as infants and provide a new paradigm for the study of real-object preferences and the factors that drive them.

IMPROVING YOUNG LEARNERS’ INTEREST IN READING

The aim of this study is to enhance the young learners to make them interest in reading the books by several methods. These methods may help to increase the self-interest in reading. In globalization era, the development of the teaching and learning of English has been transformed. Nowadays, learners should not only focus on the learning of speaking and writing but also reading due to requirements of education that they should be able to understand and respond to the texts. There are many reasons the young learners have less interesting in reading, for example the development of the information forces the focus of teaching and learning on the critical reading. The most common thing is the students may not know their interest in reading before they start to read the books. Reading interests play a very important role in reading instruction and improvement. Furthermore, the understanding of young learners’ interest and abilities is required to help them in reading. This article entitled Improve Young Learners’ Interest in Reading consists of the great way of method to encourage the young learners to read through the use of wall magazine, the use of flash card, and the use of humor that can applied in strategies of reading aloud, reading the book several times, reading favorite books, and show many picture books.
Criminological Communication: Understanding Crime through the Media and Human Communication

Criminological communication could be an important theoretical tool or category to analyze crime for human sciences in our digital era. It is crucial to consider the fact that the new forms of media have revolutionized information and how we communicate amongst ourselves and with the outside world. Therefore the way crime is represented, as well as the deviant use of these technology instruments, should also be regarded: it is impossible not to consider the link between communication and every aspect that falls within the study of criminology , even in the field of investigation and of public security.
