Reading Comprehension Strategy to Improve Students’ Critical Thinking Skills

The main purpose of the present research was to design a reading comprehension strategy to improve critical thinking skills in tenth grade students at “Simon Plata Torres” Senior School in Esmeraldas. It was a combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, that relies on the principle of complementarity. A descriptive investigation was followed using the analysis and hermeneutics methods based on data interpretation. Furthermore, the survey and observation techniques were applied to a community sample of 30 students to identify the strategies that students developed in the reading learning process of English inside the classroom, and three teachers of English of the tenth level of basic education were observed to point out the strategies that they use to teach reading comprehension. Moreover, a test was applied to diagnose the level of students’ critical thinking and identify if they correctly use the reading comprehension strategies deeply explained in this investigation. The analysis of collected data showed that the students are limited to read a text quickly to find specific information; because of this, they are not able to contrast information and summarize effectively. Meanwhile, the teachers of English do not use the appropriate reading comprehension strategies in the learning process due to the lack of information to apply reading techniques and of activities that must be used according to the students’ needs. In summary, his research remarked the strong relationship between reading comprehension and critical thinking based on Piaget's theory of constructivism, reading approach and Freire's critical thinking which coincide with some studies related to teaching critical thinking skills on reading comprehension focusing the attention on reading activities and students’ opinions interaction to foster a more innovative education.
Absent Subsequences in Words

An absent factor of a string w is a string u which does not occur as a contiguous substring (a.k.a. factor) inside w. We extend this well-studied notion and define absent subsequences: a string u is an absent subsequence of a string w if u does not occur as subsequence (a.k.a. scattered factor) inside w. Of particular interest to us are minimal absent subsequences, i.e., absent subsequences whose every subsequence is not absent, and shortest absent subsequences, i.e., absent subsequences of minimal length. We show a series of combinatorial and algorithmic results regarding these two notions. For instance: we give combinatorial characterisations of the sets of minimal and, respectively, shortest absent subsequences in a word, as well as compact representations of these sets; we show how we can test efficiently if a string is a shortest or minimal absent subsequence in a word, and we give efficient algorithms computing the lexicographically smallest absent subsequence of each kind; also, we show how a data structure for answering shortest absent subsequence-queries for the factors of a given string can be efficiently computed.
The Importance of Internal and External Features in Face Recognition

Past research in the field of face perception has found that external facial features (hair, ears, face contour) better facilitate recognition of unfamiliar faces, whereas internal facial features (eyes, nose, mouth) support the recognition of familiar faces. In the current study, we investigate the differential use of internal and external features for the recognition of faces that vary in familiarity and race. White-Canadian participants (target sample size = 260) complete an online card sorting task in which they are given a set of cards containing photographs depicting individual faces. They are instructed to sort the cards into piles for each identity present in the set. Each participant sorts a set of cards with either own-race familiar, own-race unfamiliar, other-race familiar, or other-race unfamiliar faces. These faces are modified to contain only internal features, only external features, or both. Face recognition accuracy is measured by calculating the number of piles (or perceived identities) and the number of misidentification errors. Using a signal detection framework, we will calculate a sensitivity score for each participant to assess their recognition accuracy. Preliminary data from 44 adult participants in the whole face conditions reveal a) an own-race advantage in unfamiliar face recognition; participants perceived more identities when sorting other-race unfamiliar faces (mean = 6.93) versus own-race unfamiliar faces (mean = 4.89), and b) a familiar face advantage (mean = 3.98). We are currently recruiting 220 participants for the internal features and external features conditions and expect to find greater reliance on internal features for familiar faces and external features for unfamiliar faces. Moreover, we expect there to be a greater reliance on internal features for own-race as compared to other-race faces. These results will offer insight into how reliance on internal and external facial features differs based on familiarity and race.
Investigating Reaction Accuracy of Extended Touchscreen with Conductive Ink for Mobile Virtual Piano

Various methods have been researched to extend the interaction spaces around mobile devices. The method of using conductive ink extends touch interaction space using a sheet with a pattern of conductive ink, which is attached to a capacitive touchscreen. However, the extended area of the interaction space with this method depends on the size of the sheet on which the conductive ink can be printed. We propose a method of connecting sheets using conductive aluminum foil tape. As a test system and an application of this method, we fabricated a mobile virtual piano system with a two-octave keyboard and evaluated the reaction accuracy.

Proposal of a Hybrid Recommendation Algorithm to Support the Discovery forMashup Applications

This paper proposes a recommendation algorithm which combines collaborative filtering and content based algorithm. The proposed algorithm provides recommendation list that combines recommendation items generated each algorithms, and improves the novelty and the precision of recommendation. Especially, if the precision is low, the content-based algorithm should have higher priority and if the precision is high, the collaborative filtering should have higher priority. Therefore, this paper discusses and investigates priority rules and priority through the preliminary experiments. The priority rules are some rules to decide priority algorithm when combine two existing algorithms. The priority is a weight for priority algorithm. To decide appropriate priority rules and priority, the proposed algorithm was implemented on the Linked Mash which is our recommendation system of mashup applications and we conducted experiments with Linked Mash. In the experiments, the subjects evaluated some recommended mashup applications. The novelty and precision is calculated based on this evaluation. Changing the priority rules and priority for each subjects, we demonstrated that proposed algorithm can achieve a recommendation which both novelty and precision are high

This study considers the challenges and achievements of vocabulary list selection for Korean language education. The analysis focused on research methods, procedures, and results in selecting vocabulary lists in Korean education. The analysis of the research methods and procedures targeted corpus and frequently surveyed data underlying each study. In addition, the validity of vocabulary lists was examined by analyzing the objective and subjective methods utilized for vocabulary selection. The results and implications of vocabulary selection identified in this study are as follows: First, compared to the results of lexical list selection from the 1990s to the early 2000s, recent lists show objective and granular methods and procedures. Second, recent studies have broken down the class-specific vocabulary considered mastery. Third, the differences between the lists for each study were resolved. Fourth, most of the vocabulary forms presented was consistent. Fifth, vocabulary that is not used due to the current situation was excluded from the list and new vocabulary was included. However, the following issues should be addressed: First, the current situation of Korean should be reflected through the supplementation of the corpus built around data prior to the 2000s. Second, data that have become indicators of objective assessment should also be supplemented. Third, it is necessary to build and utilize appropriate materials to select vocabulary lists keeping in mind diversified learner variables. (Kyonggi University)

Smart Contract Authorization Using Blockchain

File authorization is a process of either giving or denying access to a system which in order gives the permission for client to access information depending on the client's profile. Most of the security frameworks depend on a advance procedure which consists of two steps. Confirmation: The first stage which guarantees about the user personality. Approval is subsequent step, which grants the user to get to the access dependent on the user's character. Act in the present day frameworks rely upon trusted third party member. We propose using blockchain-based shrewd agreements to encourage secure examination and the board of files without the need of confided in outsider part. Utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, we can store a hash of a private report (an agreement, for instance) alongside an Ethereum Address. This demonstrates in an open and secure manner that the proprietor of the Ethereum Address has marked the archive. Different gatherings to the agreement can sign it too. All they need is a connect to the marking page, which is produced when a client transfers a document.
On the Relationship Between Linter Warning Density and Software Maintainability: An Empirical Study of JavaScript Projects

A common practice in software development is to include linters, static analysis tools that warn developers about potential issues in the code, in the software quality assurance process. Actionable warnings generated by linters upon violations of defined rules help detect, resolve, and reduce coding errors, quality flaws, code style inconsistencies, and deviations from best coding practices and conventions. However, little empirical evidence exists to fully understand the relationship between linter warnings and external software quality factors. To this end, an empirical investigation of the source code of 40 open-source JavaScript project releases was conducted to study whether there is a relation between software maintainability measured by the Maintainability Index and the density of linter warnings per Logical Lines of Code. The findings suggest a very weak to strong negative correlation between warning density and the value of the Index at a project- and a module-level. Changes in warning density between projects only slightly inversely correspond to changes in maintainability. Additionally, a statistically significant difference in maintainability was found between projects defining linters in their manifest file and those that do not, in favor of the former.
