RESEARCH TRENDS AND ISSUES OF EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED RESEARCH IN SOUTH KOREA

The aim of this research was to explore research trends and issues in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in South Korea. To accomplish this, we conducted an analysis of 222 peer-reviewed journal papers related to ESD in South Korea. The research concentrated on identifying four characteristics of ESD research: 1) key publication features, 2) the research topics described, 3) the research design employed, and 4) the types of sample/subjects. The results showed that the initial ESD research began in South Korea in 2005, and the number of the journal papers has increased since 2010. Regarding research topics, more research has been conducted on establishing conceptual or theoretical foundations related to ESD. Moreover, teachers’ attitudes or perceptions and program development associated with sustainable development were studied in depth. There were similar ratios of the theoretical research, quantitative research, and qualitative research regarding research design but mixed methods studies indicating the least ratio. Content analysis was the most prevalent analysis technique for quantitative/mixed ESD research. Regarding data sources or participants, the most common data source was the literature. Several research suggestions were made for assessing ESD programs and in-service teachers’ ESD professional development. Keywords: ESD, South Korea, science education, technology education, research trends.
PEMERTAHANAN BAHASA BUGIS DI KOTA AMBON [Bugis Language Defence in the city of Ambon]

This study examines the maintenance of Bugis language in the Wara neighborhood, Ambon City. As a language brought by immigrants from South Sulawesi, the Bugis language is a minority language that is in the midst of the majority language, namely Ambonese Malay. According to experts that the existence of minority languages in an area will melt into the majority language but in fact the Bugis language remains used in daily communication among ethnic groups. The research problem is how is the defense of Bugis language in Ambon and what factors support this achievement. The purpose of this study was to see how far the Bugis language was preserved in Ambon City and what factors supported the defense. This study uses the method of observation and interviews with respondents. The results showed that the Bugis ethnic community in Ambon City, especially Bugis who lived in the Wara environment still used Bugis language in the family realm, the realm of neighboring, the realm of work, the realm of education, and the realm of religion. Factors of loyalty of speakers and Bugis ethnic community organizations are the things that most support the defense of Bugis in Ambon City, especially in the Wara Neighborhood.Kajian ini meneliti tentang pemertahanan bahasa Bugis di Lingkungan Wara, Kota Ambon.

Factor loyalitas penutur dan organisasi masyrakat etnis Bugis merupakan hal yang paling mendukung pemertahanan bahasa Bugis di Kota Ambon, khususnya di Lingkungan Wara.
A TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION OF LITERACY STRATEGIES APPLIED IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The article highlights the perspective of high-school teachers working in apedagogical profile regarding the application of literacy strategies in variousdisciplines and the importance of such strategies in the development of functionalliteracy in students. The method used for this study has been investigation, and thetool used to collect information has been the survey. The data has been analyzedusing SPSS software, version 22.0. The elements examined through pilot studyreturned a reliability rate in between 0.62 and 0.822. Results have shown thatteachers can partially define literacy, but they do not frequently apply, in theirteaching activity, strategies that would develop studentsâ€™ abilities. This study isparamount in the context of the PISA exams taken by students in Romania, whichrevealed the scale of functional illiteracy in pupils. Furthermore, the relevance ofthe study resides in the analysis of teachersâ€™ perception of literacy strategies fromthe perspective of forming students as functional literate adults, but also as futureteachers for primary school.

Semantic Texton Forests for Image Categorization and Segmentation

The Semantic Texton Forest (STF) is a proficient and amazing low-level element which can be successfully utilized in the semantic division of pictures.STF's are connected to neighborhood space-time volumes as an amazing discriminative codebook.Since STFs act legitimately on video pixels without utilizing costly descriptors, visual codeword age by STFs is incredibly quick.Semantic division is an undertaking of synchronous item division and acknowledgment.The semantic division, can be thought as an expansion of the well-known scene characterization issue where the element to arrange isn't any longer the entire picture yet single gathering of pixels.The pack of semantic textons consolidates a histogram of semantic textons over a picture locale with a district earlier class circulation.The fundamental commitment is a picture level earlier for division that underlines those classifications that the programmed order accepts to be available.The primary utilization of Random Forests is that distinctive component types can without much of a stretch be consolidated bringing about an increasingly broad classifier.

Convolutional Neural Networks

The human brain is trained in such a way that it can automatically and instantly recognize multiple faces. But when it comes to the computer, it becomes very difficult to do all the challenging tasks on the level of the human brain. The face recognition is an integral part of biometrics. In biometrics, basic traits of human are matched to the existing data and facial features are extracted and implemented through algorithms. Numerous algorithms and techniques have been developed for improving the performance of face recognition. Deep learning is making crucial advances in solving problems that have restricted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years. Among one of the deep learning, approaches are Convolutional Neural networks (CNN).CNN is a kind of artificial neural networks that employ convolution methodology to extract the features from the input data to increase the number of features. The general structure of the face recognition process is of three stages. It starts with a pre-processing stage: color space conversion and resizing of images, continues with the extraction of facial features, and afterward extracted feature set is classified. In our system, Softmax Classifier is to realize the final stage that is classification on the basis of the facial features extracted from CNN

Comparación de las percepciones de los maestros en el entorno del aula de clase entre lecciones tradicionales y computarizadas "uno a uno"

espanolEl entorno del aula de clase es un ambiente multifacetico que describe el clima general en el aula, y que fue hallado como crucial tanto para alumnos como para maestros. El uso de computadoras en la ensenanza, especificamente en la forma de programas de computacion uno a uno, puede afectar dramaticamente el entorno del aula. En este estudio hemos explorado las percepciones de los maestros acerca de este efecto. Los participantes en este estudio cualitativo fueron maestros (N=111, reclutados de manera incremental) que completaron un cuestionario en el que se les solicito que califiquen el entorno del aula, tanto en clases tradicionales como computarizadas uno a uno. Este enfoque 'dentro del tema' nos permitio controlar la variancia inherente en el estilo pedagogico de los maestros y en la agenda educacional. En general los hallazgos sugieren que el entorno de clase esta principalmente asociado a la medida en que se usa la tecnologia, y por lo general no esta asociado a las caracteristicas personales de los maestros. Es decir, el uso de la tecnologia en el aula puede afectar la percepcion de los maestros sobre el entorno de la clase, independientemente de quien es el maestro. Estos hallazgos demuestran como se reflejan los diferentes efectos del uso extensivo de dispositivos digitales en las percepciones generales del entorno de clase, tal como son percibidas por los maestros, y por ende la importancia de implementar nuevas tecnologias en el aula de manera significativa. EnglishClassroom environment is a multifaceted construct that describes the overall climate in the classroom, and was found to be crucial for both students and teachers. The use of computers in teaching –specifically, in the form of oneto-one computing programs– may dramatically affect classroom environment. In this study, we explored teachers’ perceptions of this effect. Participants in this qualitative study were teachers (N=111, recruited in a snowball fashion), who filled-up a questionnaire, in which they were asked to rate classroom environment in both traditional and one-to-one computing classes. This withinsubject approach allowed us to control for the inherent variance in teachers’ pedagogical style and educational agenda. Overall, findings suggest that classroom environment is mostly associated with the extent to which technology is used, and is generally not associated with personal characteristics of the teachers. That is, the use of technology in the classroom may affect teachers’ perception of the classroom environment, no matter who the teacher is. These findings demonstrate how different effects of extensively using digital devices are reflected in the overall perceptions of classroom environment, as perceived by teachers; hence, the importance of implementing new technologies in the classroom in a meaningful way
The Influence of Classroom Learning Environment toward Students’ Vocabulary Acquisition: A Study on Second Semester Junior High School Students

The aim of this study was to determine whether or not classroom learning environment strategy is effective to increase students’ vocabulary acquisition. The research design was experimental study. There were four groups in this design; two groups for experimental group and two groups for control group.

The data were collected through pre-test, treatment, and post-test where the experimental groups were treated by classroom learning environment strategy whereas the control groups were treated by using common teaching. The finding showed that the t-test value was higher than t-table. 5.3839 and 7.0249 &gt; 1.990 at significant level .05 5.3839 and 7.0249 &gt; 2.6386 and 2.6371 at significant level .01 in degree of freedom (df) 80. It showed that classroom learning environment strategy gave significant effect on students’ vocabulary acquisition at grade VII of SMPN 7 Mataram in academic year 2018/2019.
Value sets of folding polynomials over finite fields

Let $k$ be a positive integer that is relatively prime to the order of the Weyl group of a semisimple complex Lie algebra $\mf{g}$. We find the cardinality of the value sets of the folding polynomials $P_\mf{g}^k(\mb{x}) \in \Z[\mb{x}]$ of arbitrary rank $n \geq 1$, over finite fields. We achieve this by using a characterization of their fixed points in terms of exponential sums.
VALORISING THE ACTIVE METHODS IN THE STUDY OF PEDAGOGICAL SUBJECTS

The option for the activating didactic methodology is determined by the real need of the student’s involvement in the learning process. In the context of teaching for learning, we choose those methods which will increase the trainees’ attention and interest in the conditions of flexibility and individuality of the instruction. The study achieved reveals the fact that the methods based on action such as learning with the help of worksheets, the exercise, the role play, the project or theme of actionresearch contribute to the creation of an atmosphere which should stimulate the interest and curiosity of those who learn, by their total engagement in the learning experiences.
Robust Methods of Determining Target Objects Using Block Structures for Em Data Processing

Summary The paper proposes the approach to increase the reliability of determining target objects locations and their characteristics with the use of geometric 3D-inversion of electromagnetic survey data. This approach is based on the analysis of repeatability of 3D-inversion results for different rotations of the initial model block structures around the vertical axis. The forward problem solution is based on the finite element method on the nonconforming meshes with hexahedral cells, which smoothly approximate the curved surfaces: the Earth relief and subhorizontal borders between the geoelectrical model layers. The possibilities of the proposed approach are demonstrated on synthetic data for a complex multilayer geoelectrical model, which is characterized by the relief and contains lateral complex shape 3D-inhomogeneties overlapping the target object. The numerical experimental results show well the repeatability of conductivity distributions obtained as the inversion result for different rotations of the initial model block structures. This suggests the possibility of reliably determining the target objects in the realistic complex geoelectrical conditions.
Mathesis as the Source of Beauty in Music

The juxtaposing Latin phrase musica mathematica can have a twofold interpretation as ‘mathematical music’ and/or ‘musical mathematics’ and clearly presents the intersection of seemingly opposite fields. The Latin ars generally covers the different subjects of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music; meaning not only ‘art’, but also ‘science’; not only ‘skill’ and ‘craft’, but ‘knowledge’ as well. Over the course of different epochs, music theory has been classified as Latin musica theorica, theoretica, contemplativa, speculativa, arithmetica etc. Theory was the domain of the scientist who came armed with academic knowledge and who studied the esoteric secrets of music. The philosophically based scientific approach to the subject of music is the general focus of the article highlighting the raise and establishment of quadrivium phenomena, the commonalities between musical and mathematical terminology and actions as well as the systematization of constructive and semantic composing of music in the 20th–21st centuries.

Comparison of Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods Used In Requirement Engineering

This article evaluates six different multi-criteria decision-making methods used for prioritizing software requirements to attain efficient and consistent results. This includes the detailed study of AHP, FAHP, ANP, TOPSIS and SMARTER methods. These methods compared with an aim of understanding the differences based on their performance criteria such as complexity, ease of use, consistency, accountability, processing time and the number of requirements. These criteria’s represents the uniqueness of the methods and its resilient features for solving the complex problem. The literature shows that AHP is the best prioritization technique used in most of the applications. It results in trustworthy results from the ratio scale and includes a consistency check. In the AHP method as weight assignments to the alternatives are relative; any change in the values may affect the weights of the other alternatives resulting in uncertainty. This drawback is overcome by including fuzzy concepts in AHP. The conventional fuzzy environment helps the decision maker to make a better decision with tangible and intangible criteria.

How to Secure WordPress: Protect from Hackers and Data Loss!

I've had my site hacked twice because I didn't secure WordPress properly. Neither was a particularly fun experience. In short, getting your site hacked = spending your whole day trying to fix things that you don't entirely understand, and that's provided that the hack wasn't of a deep-cutting variety. Luckily for me, patching a few things and changing web host did the trick and fixed everything., but not everyone gets off that easily...
