Is Nigerian Economy Anti-Philip`S Curved? An Implication for Sustainable Development

This study examined the relationship between unemployment and inflation between 1990 and 2018 with a view to testing the existence or otherwise of Philip`s curve theory in Nigeria.The objective of this study was addressed via the application of Engle and Granger and Error Correction Model approach.The following are the major findings that originated from this work; the speed of adjustment for inflation and unemployment to return to the long run equilibrium state when there is a short run disequilibrium due to shock is 16% on annual basis.The lagged value of unemployment rate is positive in both the short run and the long run.In the same vein, the short run estimate shows a positive relationship between unemployment and inflation in Nigeria, though not statistically significant.This implies that the Nigerian economy is anti-Philip's curved in the short run.However, the long run relationship between the variables of interest shows the evidence to support the existence of Philip's Curve theory in Nigeria.Therefore, this study makes these policy recommendations to the policy makers in Nigeria based on its findings: since both inflation and unemployment are macroeconomic problems that could hinder the achievement of sustainable development goal 8-inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all, the policy makers in Nigeria should embark on various stabilization policies to address continuous rising in inflation rate and create jobs to address unemployment menace in the country.

THE TEACHER TALKS IN TEACHING READING COMPREHENSION

Teacher talk is important, not only as the object of the course, but also as the medium to achieve the teaching objective. Concisely, the organization and the goal of teaching in classroom are achieved through teacher talk. Therefore, this study aims to find out the teacher talks in teaching reading comprehension. The method applied in this study was qualitative approach and descriptive method. The subject of this research was the ninth grade teacher at SMPN 9 Banjarmasin. The data were collected through observing the teacher talks in teaching reading comprehension. Supporting data were also added from interviewing the teacher. In addition, audio visual-materials were used in observing and interviewing process. The data was analyzed using The Foreign Language Interaction Analysis (FLINT) model in Brown (2001). The result showed that the entire teacher talks categories appeared in this study, they were dealing with feeling, praising and encouraging, using ideas of students, repeating students verbatim, asking questions, giving information, correcting without rejection, giving directions, criticizing student behavior and student response. Hence, the category of teacher talks that did not appear in this study was joking. It is suggested that the teacher should apply more the use of students’ idea category that are found meaningful to the students reading comprehension activities in classroom. Teacher also needs to make some jokes. Therefore, the teaching and learning situation will not too tense. Finally, it is suggested for other researchers to conduct similar research about teacher talks with different research framework and model in order to find deeper data.

Sampling and Learning of the And-Or Graph

Author(s): Zhang, Ruize | Advisor(s): WU, YINGNIAN | Abstract: The And-Or graph is a tool for knowledge representation. In this thesis we first study thesampling of the And-Or graph with or without context constraints. Without any constrainton the potential functions of the And-Or graph nodes, the positions and shapes of differ-ent components of the face images are not aligned properly. In contrast, with both unaryconstraints and binary constraints, the components are aligned and the samples are morerepresentative of the And-Or graph. We further explore parameter and structure learning ofthe And-Or graph by implementing and applying some existing algorithms. The experimen-tal results on 1D text data and 2D face image data are shown. While there is no apparentdifference between the sampling results of the parameter learned And-Or graph and the trueAnd-Or graph, the sampling results of the structure learned And-Or graph are not perfectand could be further improved.

An analytical study of content and contexts of keywords on physics

This paper is based on the analysis of author-assigned and title keywords and their constituent component words collected from 769 articles published in the journal Low Temperature Physics since the year 2006 to 2010. The total number of distinct keywords is 1155 of which 869 are single keywords having total frequency of occurrence of 2287. The single keywords have been categorized in four broad classes, viz. eponymous word, form word, acronym and semantic word. A semantic word bears several contexts and thus it may be considered as relevant in several other subject areas. The probable subject areas have been found with the aid of two popular online reference tools. The semantic words are further categorized in twelve classes according to their contexts. Some parameters have been defined on the basis of associations among the words and formation of keywords in consequence, i.e. Word Association Density, Word Association Coefficient and Keyword Formation Density. The values of these parameters have been observed for different word categories. The statistics of word association tending keyword formation would be known from this study. The allied subject domains also become predictable from this study.

The BEHAVIOR ACCOUNTING AS A HISTORY : PERSPECTIVE SINGLE AND DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

At this writing has the purpose of how accounting behavior viewed in terms of history if there is accounting treatment with the perspective of single and double entry bookkeeping. The type of research carried out in the study is descriptive, by describing the results of sources obtained from secondary data and documentation data collection techniques such as, articles, journals, books, and others. The results obtained were analyzed based on the accounting aspects of the behavior of accounting records and accounting processes using single and double entry bookkeeping. Based on the historical perspective, the use of single and double entry bookkeeping is an ethic in psychology that exists in human rights where individuals have a value of rights that is naturally a form of their existence as humans. One of them in accounting is the right of accounting behavior to find out information related within the scope of a company, government, or other organization. While the behavioral approach is based on positive ethics, where with ethical behavior can see a state of actual habits that govern people's behavior.&#x0D; Keywords : history, single entry bookkeeping, double entry bookkeeping
The Effect of Mathematics Collaborative Learning Using Worked Examples on Cognitive Load and Motivation

The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of mathematics collaborative learning using worked examples on students' mathematics achievement and cognitive load, and to examine the influence of collaborative and individual learning environment on students' self-efficacy and interest. In addition, we wanted to analyze the differences between students' self-efficacy and interest according to their achievement level. To this end, we divided 282 middle school students into 4 groups (collaboration-example-example, collaboration–example-problem, individual-example- example, individual-example-problem), and provided them with the tasks about the use of quadratic function. The results of this study are as follows. First, when using the worked examples, there was no difference in mathematics achievement according to the environment of collaborative learning and individual learning. Second, albeit on the same condition of being given the worked examples, the external cognitive load of the collaborative learning group was lower than that of the individual learning. Particularly, when the students at the upper level do collaborative learning by using example-examples, they felt external cognitive load less compared to those in the individual learning environment. Lastly, the strategy using the worked examples had a positive effect on the self-efficacy and interest of lower-level students in the individual learning environment rather than that of collaborative learning.

The Creation of the Distance Mixer

The expressiveness, complexity and detail of the sounds of the natural world hold particular appeal for composers working at the nexus of music, technology and the environment. The innate spectral and spatial characteristics of these sounds offer a wealth of creative potential, but such qualities often derive their meaning from the contextual setting in which they originate. The tradition of soundscape composition promotes the tight integration between this contextual information and musical structure and denounces abstraction. Its interpretation, therefore, requires explicable knowledge of environmental associations, and its meaning is inseparable from this context. Respecting and balancing these concerns with the traditions and techniques of acousmatic music poses a considerable challenge. This paper outlines a personal approach to composing with environmental sound that integrates reductive and contextual aesthetics into single compositional language. It discusses the strategies that led to the creation of a new software artefact and the musical value of the sounds produced through this technology.The Distance Mixer is a custom SuperCollider class designed to assist in the composition of fixed-media works that seek to integrate environmental structures into electroacoustic composition. Its ongoing development reflects an attempt at maintaining the integrity of natural sound environments via acoustic partitioning while still permitting a degree of abstraction and transformation of sound materials. The Distance Mixer allows natural sound ecologies to inform the deployment of materials and encourages the practitioner to explore in real-time, the relationship between perspective, movement and distance and the influence of these spatial attributes on spectral space and the designation of acoustic niches.The Distance Mixer applies the powerful spatial filtering tools of the Ambisonic Toolkit in novel ways to spatialise a variable number of sound sources and produces convincing spatial illusions and cogent aural landscapes. At its core is a distance variable that controls low-pass filter coefficients, amplitude scaling, soundfield quality, and the level of a simple convolution reverb for first-order ambisonic signals.This paper will describe how the Distance Mixer emerged from an aesthetic discourse that consolidates the concepts of biomimicry, acoustic ecology and spectromorphology to explain the function of sound in the environment and its parallels with musical structure. The relationship between acoustic niches, perspectival space and spectromorphological qualities were of particular importance to its development. Through the immateriality of this theoretical framework, new approaches to composition emerged that had a productive and transformative impact on the creative process.

Development of a processing chain of multispectral Sentinel&amp;#8211;2 data to extract meandering river courses for geomorphometric analysis in Central Amazonia Region

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Freely-meandering rivers are sensitive indicators of neotectonic activity that is otherwise difficult to detect in low-relief areas. In this study sinuosity analysis has been carried out on 20 main rivers and tributaries of Central Amazonia Region as an aid for localization of river channel patterns influenced by on-going tectonic activity.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The main problem of such studies, however, the availability of accurate river channel data. For the Central Amazonia Region highly accurate dataset that has a good geographical coverage is hardly available: the datasets we found did not fulfill the accuracy criteria for our project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Consequently, the first objective of this project was to develop a data processing method of high resolution satellite images which provides a quick and accurate way to digitize river sections of a large parts of the intracratonic sedimentary basin. Furthermore, this work aims to detect channel sinuosity changes that could indicate recent vertical crustal movements. To achieve this, the water courses were automatically digitized using Sentinel&amp;amp;#8211;2 data and classic sinuosity values were calculated using several window sizes. The distribution of sinuosity variations was analysed by classification and various representations of the calculated values like mapping, crossplots and sinuosity-spectrum.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;As the visualization methods complement each other the variations in sinuosity values can be highlighted and verified in several aspects. The results compared to former neotectonic studies some significant sinuosity changes can be correlated to known faults. The mentioned sinuosity variations coincides with the location of NW&amp;amp;#8211;SE normal and thrust faults active since Pleistocene times and NE&amp;amp;#8211;SW Miocene normal faults supporting the idea that these structures may have been reactivated.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In conclusion, multi-window sinuosity index calculation applied to satellite data based digitized water courses is a useful tool for recognizing recent tectonic activity in large low-relief areas, such as Central Amazonia.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
Concept and Practical Evaluation for Adaptive and Intelligible Prioritization for Network Security Incidents

Incident prioritization is nowadays a part of many approaches and tools for network security and risk management.However, the dynamic nature of the problem domain is often unaccounted for.That is, the prioritization is typically based on a set of static calculations, which are rarely adjusted.As a result, incidents are incorrectly prioritized, leading to an increased and misplaced effort in the incident response.A higher degree of automation could help to address this problem.In this paper, we explicitly consider flaws in the prioritization an unalterable circumstance.We propose an adaptive incident prioritization, which allows to automate certain tasks for the prioritization model management in order to continuously assess and improve a prioritization model.At the same time, we acknowledge the human analyst as the focal point and propose to keep the human in the loop, among others by treating understandability as a crucial requirement.
