The Experience of Reading

This paper describes an action research project conducted in 2013 that questioned 262 students from years 5 to 10 about their use of eBooks and audio books for pleasure reading. The students’ responses demonstrated a strong preference for paper over digital versions of texts, a range of interesting feedback about their experiences with digital formats and their preferences for different formats in light of different types of reading needs. The responses also included a range of advantages and disadvantages, as perceived by the respondents, of the different formats. The survey responses, in line with current research, indicate value in exploring how readers respond to format types – the importance of format should not go unacknowledged, as it is clear that the interaction of the reader with format is complex. This paper considers the important areas of comprehension, concentration, eye strain the impact of format on our senses and the need for adequate support.
‘Women Empowerment’ Effects on Global Economics: A Quantum Economic Study

Background: Women's empowerment is a global concern today.But, the effect of women's empowerment on global economics is not studied explicitly.As several governments are focusing on this matter, it is necessary to know the effect of it.To fulfill this need, present research work is conducted.Objective: In the recent past quantum economics is found very successful to explain the economical problems more accurately.Thus, to solve the problem of women's empowerment related issue mention earlier, we focus to use quantum economic methodology.Methods: Though quantum economics is as old as 43 years, it is not systematized properly to use for our problem directly.We have transformed various related laws and equations to increase the applicability and accuracy of the method.We have transformed the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution law to population -income distribution law.We have also constructed the wealth consumption function taking the knowledge of Gaussian type orbital function.These two are used to solve our problem. Results:We observed that women's empowerment is not always related to the positive growth of society.All three possibilities, positive growth, negative growth and no growth are there.We have mentioned the conditions for which what kind of outcome would be expected. Conclusion:From the present study, we conclude that women's empowerment would produce positive effect on the global economy if the additional job opportunity is created rather substituting of a male employee by a female employee.
SPEAKING ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS OF MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY

Despite the fact that English is adopted as compulsory subject in higher education and extended period of learning, students still have low proficiency level. Thus, studies on students’ proficiency level need to be conducted for an effectively designed classroom activities.

The lowest result was grammar with the average score of 2.56 in satisfactory category, whereas the highest result was pronunciation, 3.08, good category. The results of vocabulary and fluency were 2.79 and 2.82 in satisfactory level. In conclusion, students’ speaking performances were still in satisfactory level. Improvements were needed in grammar, vocabulary and fluency
Influencia del modelo de ojo teórico en la evaluación numérica de lentes intraoculares fractales

In this work we present the numerical evaluation of a new design of fractal intraocular lens studied through a ray-tracing program. To determine the monochromatic and polychromatic performance of these lenses in different theoretical model eyes the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and the area above the MTF (AMTF) have been used. These merit functions show the same behavior for different values of asphericity (Q), independently from the theoretical model eye, even though there are differences due to the Spherical Aberration (SA) considered in each model.

METHODICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF TEACHING ELEMENTS OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS OF YOUNG SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH LIGHT DISORDERS OF INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT

There is no doubt that in addition to perfect command of the native language, time requires from a young person and computer literacy, acquaintance with modern information technology. The computer, which has confidently and reliably taken its rightful place among all other traditional school subjects, as well as in the life of modern man, is actively implemented at the initial stage of a child's education. Disputes over the content of computer science itself as a school subject and its place in the main and variable components of the curriculum only increase its versatility. The use of a standard program in computer science and simulators, allows you to build the educational process of primary school, taking into account age and individual characteristics, the more it is necessary for inclusive education. The article is devoted to the methodological bases of teaching elements of computer literacy of junior schoolchildren with mild intellectual disabilities. The authors emphasize that currently in Ukraine the study of the information education sector by junior schoolchildren with mild intellectual disabilities is not conducted. At the same time, the formation of elements of computer literacy, in particular the study of computer graphics, is feasible for such students, given the peculiarities of the cognitive thinking of such students. The use of computers in the education of primary school students is not the only task of the computer science course. At present, experiments on the introduction of information and communication technologies in subject teaching are being actively conducted, traditional methods are being rethought, teaching concepts are being developed, and the pedagogical conditions for forming the basic concepts of the computer science course are being revised. However, it is not yet established what impact specific methods of activity can have on the structure of educational activities of primary school children with mild intellectual disabilities, which may contribute to the formation of computer literacy in grades 2-4 to prepare children with special needs. The study of computer science and the use of ICT in inclusive education promotes the development of skills and abilities of students with mental and physical disabilities to use a variety of information about the world, the ability to apply modern methods of accumulation, storage, retrieval and processing of information based on telecommunications networks. The teacher must also adapt to the individual opportunities and individual pace of learning, comfortable for such children.
Performance Comparison Analysis of the Elias Delta Code Algorithm with the Even Rodeh Code Algorithm for Compressing Image Files

A file or files have a large size, especially an image file. So that it can affect a storage memory and also mess in the speed of data transmission. If an image file has a large capacity it can affect the sending process. So that the sending process has two possibilities, namely the image file sent will require a long process or the image file will experience failure in sending because the storage size exceeds the maximum limit. This problem can be overcome by compressing the data. Data compression can reduce the size of data storage on both internal and external memory, speeding up data transmission due to smaller storage sizes. Data compression has several algorithms that can be used. In this research, the writer will compare the performance of Elias Delta Code algorithm with even Rodeh Code algorithm. Thus obtaining which algorithm is the most efficient used for the image file compression process.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD IN TEACHING READING AT FIFTH SEMESTER OF AHWAL ASSYAKHSIYAH OF STIS DARUL FALAH MATARAM

AbstractThis research was conducted to investigate the effect of using GrammarTranslation Method (GTM) in teaching reading at fifth semester students ofAhwal As-Syakhsiyah of STIS Darul Falah Mataram in academic year2018/2019. This research was an experimental research with two groupdesign. The population of this research was all of students at fifth semester ofAhwal As-Syakhsiyah of STIS Darul Falah Mataram which consisted of 60students and they were divided into 2 classes, Class A and B. Class A wastaken as sample by using cluster sampling technique. Pre-test and post-testwere used in collecting the data. Then, it was analyzed by using ttest. Theresult showed that score of t-test (3.63) was higher than the score of t-table(2.003) at the confidence level .05 (95%). Therefore, null hypothesis (H0)which stated that “GTM is not effective in teaching reading’’ was rejected.Meanwhile, the score of t-test (3.63) was higher than the score of the t-table(2.663) at the confidence level .01 (99%). It indicates the alternate hypothesis(Ha) which stated that “GTM is effective in teaching reading’’ was accepted.It means that there was a significant effect of using GTM in teaching readingtext because there was a significant difference between students’ pre-test andpost-test score after treatments. Furthermore, the results of tests show thatmost students gave positive responses toward the use of GTM. Finally, theresult of the research suggest that the students loved this method because itsuccessfully motivated them to read texts in an enjoyable way and to improvetheir reading texts in terms of enriching vocabularies, organizing ideas andunderstanding the text easily. It is then recommended that GTM be used inteaching reading in different text types and levels of schooling.Key words: Grammar Translation Method, Descriptive text, Reading
Multi-level periodisation of ontogenesis. Becoming of the system of leading functions for an arbitrary level of organisation.

The article discusses the multi-level periodisation of ontogeny, namely the becoming of a system of leading functions for an arbitrary level of organisation. The adjective arbitrary is understood as a level in which everything that is repeated in other levels is detailed, but any of their specifics is quite omitted. As for the concept of becoming, its content is enhanced by several intra-level layers added to the upper one. And finally, becoming itself is derived from the configuration of cycles, which organizes the interaction of intra-level layers and determines the level system of leading functions. The proposed analysis scheme is declared as a basis for describing each level of ontogeny organisation. The previously published part of the article includes two sections. In the first one, “Arbitrary scheme of level periodization”, definitions and descriptions of its basic concepts are given: a) the level of organisation, the formation of level and the initial function, b) layers of level and the system of leading functions, c) the hierarchy of layers and cycles of interaction, d) leading functions and developmental periods. The second section, “Configuration of interaction cycles”, expands the cycles’ configuration graphs and considers the layers of organisation that constitute them. This second part of the article completes the work presented in the first one. This is indicated by the title of its only section “Becoming of a system of leading functions”, declared as key expression in the title of both parts of the article. Therefore, the second of them begins with the classical (L. Vygotsky) introduction “Structure and dynamics of development”, which is further turned into an analysis of the interaction cycles of intra-level layers with a description of the corresponding leading function.

In the study, the writer collaborated with the English teachers and the students. The data of this study were qualitative in nature supported by quantitative data. Qualitative data were obtained from the results of classroom observation and collaboratorsâ€™ discussion. Quantitative data were obtained from pre-test and post test results. The instruments for collecting the data were observation, interview, and the pre-test and posttest. The data were in the form of field notes, interview, and the scores of the studentsâ€™ pre-test and posttest. A t-test was used for the analysis of the quantitative data.The results of the two cycles show that the use of Know-Want-Learn Strategy is effective to improve the studentsâ€™ reading comprehension. It is supported by the qualitative data which show that (1) Know-Want-Learn Strategy can help the teacher to increase the studentsâ€™ comprehension of the text; (2) Know-Want-Learn strategy can help the students to preview the text, assess what they have learned after reading, and attract their interest in reading. The finding is also supported by the quantitative data. The mean of the studentsâ€™ reading comprehension scores improves from 31 in the pre-test to 58 in the post-test. From the results above, it can be concluded that the use of Know-Want-Learn strategy can improve studentsâ€™ reading comprehension.Â Â
Improving crowd counting with scale‐aware convolutional neural network

Large-scale variations may cause a serious problem in crowd counting. In recent years, most methods for this problem use convolutional neural networks with a fixed scale for encoding and decoding image features. The scale of the convolutional layer is usually manually adjusted and may have to deal with image features on unfitted scales. In this paper, a method called scale-aware convolutional neural network(SCNet) is proposed, which adds a scale selection mechanism to the dilated convolutional operation. Shared weight multi-branch is used to deal with features on different scales, and an attention mechanism is introduced to determine the weights of the branches that fit the scale. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed SCNet outperforms most existing methods.

Analysis of the Moodle Learning Management System and user comfort levels

This study analyzes the workflow experiences in the teaching-learning process of teachers and students enrolled in mixed (face to face /distance education) and distance education systems. The main objective is to evaluate Moodle, Learning Management System with the systematized Brief Inventory of Experiences. In this study we measure and compare the flow and comfort experiences of a population of 8140 participants, divided into two groups: 320 teachers and 7820 students. We can conclude that there is a significant difference in the p &lt;0.05 level, in the following two variables: 1) When performing the activity, I forget about the problems and concerns and 2) I do things spontaneously and automatically. Tasks they must face in order to provide the students the appropriate tools in order to learn. In addition to this challenge, the teacher does not achieve an optimal level of comfort throughout the teaching process due the lack of positive feedback. Encouraging the teachers to guide the students to takeoff the learning and the teacher to get positive feedback. While the students receive and assimilate, the teacher gives and experiments. Because the transmission of knowledge is a function of who assimilates the legacy.

On Translation and Dissemination Mode of Chinese Original COVID-19 Picture Books in the Era of Digital Globalization

In the era of digital globalization, multimedia technology is changing children's reading habits and accelerating the pace of translation and publication of picture books.Since the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020, the program "Picture Books about COVID-19 for Children Around the World" has been launched.This program appeals for Chinese publishing houses to donate picture books' international copyright and volunteers to offer free translation.Consequently, 11 Chinese original COVID-19 picture books have been translated into foreign languages and published online for free reading within weeks.An innovative mode of translation and dissemination have been adopted in the program.The paper examines three important factors related to its mode, namely what to translate, who translate, the means to promote translation.Then it proposes to seize translation and dissemination opportunities, adopt multi-modal and multi-dimensional transmission routes and through innovative promotion and marketing channels to enhance translation efficiency and expand influence of Chinese picture books in foreign markets.
Leafy automata for higher-order concurrency

Abstract Finitary Idealized Concurrent Algol ( $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> ) is a prototypical programming language combining functional, imperative, and concurrent computation. There exists a fully abstract game model of $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> , which in principle can be used to prove equivalence and safety of $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> programs. Unfortunately, the problems are undecidable for the whole language, and only very rudimentary decidable sub-languages are known. We propose leafy automata as a dedicated automata-theoretic formalism for representing the game semantics of $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> . The automata use an infinite alphabet with a tree structure. We show that the game semantics of any $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> term can be represented by traces of a leafy automaton. Conversely, the traces of any leafy automaton can be represented by a $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> term. Because of the close match with $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> , we view leafy automata as a promising starting point for finding decidable subclasses of the language and, more generally, to provide a new perspective on models of higher-order concurrent computation. Moreover, we identify a fragment of $$\mathsf {FICA}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>FICA</mml:mi> </mml:math> that is amenable to verification by translation into a particular class of leafy automata. Using a locality property of the latter class, where communication between levels is restricted and every other level is bounded, we show that their emptiness problem is decidable by reduction to Petri net reachability.
