COVID-19: aportes y limitaciones de la enseñanza virtual asíncrona (una experiencia de educación media superior)

The results of the forced transition to e-learning teaching, as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, are investigated here. It is a contextualizedresearch on upper secondary education groups (USE) in the biology subject. As a basis for assessment, indicators for monitoring the course andacademic performance of the previous year (2019) are considered. The interannual comparison shows that in 2020 a smaller number of students who maintained contact with the subject. Among those, who did participate, there is evidence of greater academic progress with the implementation of theasynchronous e-learning model. In thesearch of explanations for these incipient results, the opinion of the students themselves is explored.

Casting Of Caste In Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy

Amish Tripathi, the author of Shiva Trilogy has raked the Indian consciousness in the present day youth. Aping the western culture has become the trend. But, Amish with his writings, makes the young Indian minds to take a (yo)u turn, in order to behold the richness that our ancestors hold. Amish made his debut with Shiva Trilogy, releasing The Immortals of Meluha in 2010, The Secret of the Nagas in 2012 and The Oath of the Vayuputras in 2013. His motive is not just to instil Indianness, but also to correct certain practices which are actually altered and adulterated in modern days. The unparalleled feel, of being an heir of such a prestigious pioneers, is derived on reading his work. This research article is an attempt to read the perspective in which the author of this trilogy has pictured the otherwise much misconceived caste system of India. ‘Hail our Tradition’ is the motto of Amish.

Investigating the exchange of Ising chains on a digital quantum computer

The ferromagnetic state of an Ising chain can represent a twofold degenerate subspace or equivalently a logical qubit that is protected from excitations by an energy gap. Here, we study a braiding-like exchange operation through the movement of the ferromagnetic state in the qubit subspace, which resembles that of the localized edge modes in a Kitaev chain. The system consists of two Ising chains in a one-dimensional geometry where the operation is simulated through the adiabatic time evolution of the ground state. The time evolution is implemented via the Suzuki-Trotter expansion on basic single- and two-qubit quantum gates using IBM's Aer QASM simulator. The fidelity of the system is investigated as a function of the evolution and system parameters to obtain optimum efficiency and accuracy for different system sizes. Various aspects of the implementation, including the circuit depth, Trotterization error, and quantum gate errors pertaining to noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware, are discussed as well. We demonstrate that the quantum gate errors, i.e., bit-flip, phase errors, are the dominating factor in determining the fidelity of the system as the Trotter error and the adiabatic condition are less restrictive even for modest values of Trotter time steps. We reach an optimum fidelity $&gt;99%$ on systems of up to 11 sites per Ising chain. We show that running such simulations is far beyond the reach of current NISQ hardware with the most efficient implementation of a single braiding-like operation for a fidelity above $90%$ requiring a circuit depth of the order of $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{3}$ restricting the individual gate errors to be less than $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$.
A Note on the KM Algorithm for Computing the Variance of an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Set

This work presents some considerations about the computation of the relative variance for Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets. Based on experimental evidence, the computation of the relative variance of an interval Type-2 fuzzy set using the KM algorithm needs more computations than using the original KM algorithm in order to obtain their boundaries since the variance combined with the KM algorithm results in a nonlinear behavior. A modified KM algorithm for computing the relative variance of an interval type-2 fuzzy set is proposed and a comprehensive analysis of its behavior is provided through two examples.

A multi-stage clustering approach for cerebrospinal fluid image segmentation

Analysis of the cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) flow within brain has become increasingly important to diagnose a number of neuro degenerative disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is utilised to measure the CSF volumetric change in patients. However, the quality of the images is often hampered by partial volume effect, which blurred the boundary between the brain tissues and the CSF. Consequently, the accuracy of CSF analysis is reduced significantly. In this paper, we introduce a new multi-stage clustering approach to overcome this limitation. Firstly, the T1-weigthed images are fused with the corresponding T2-weigthed images. Next, the resulting images are subjected to partial volume estimation using Gaussian mixture model. The model produced by these images is later used as input in a spatial fuzzy clustering algorithm to segment the CSF flow from the brain tissues. Benchmark images obtained from Brain Web are used to validate the performance of the proposed approach. In addition, we also presented the performance of the proposed method using real MRI images taken from a number of Alzheimer’s disease patients, which evidently showed the effectiveness of the method in quantifying the CSF flow within the brain.

ENGLISH-SPEAKING ISSUES TOWARDS INDONESIA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

This research was carried out to invent the problems of the English-speaking anxiety of senior high school students in Indonesia. Several studies have reported that senior high school students show that they lack speaking skills in the EFL region, particularly in Indonesia. To decompose data, we use the Meta-Analysis Process. The findings showed that there are five major barriers to the English-speaking anxiety of senior high school students in Indonesia, made up of (1) lack of knowledge of vocabulary, (2) grammar as a stumbling block, (3) fear of others' negative reactions, (4) low bravery when speaking publicly in English, (5) anxiety when speaking English. Suggestions and effects are discussed as well, that the teacher should be more aware of student's anxiety in order to arouse students' motivation to speak up confidently and fluently in English speaking in Indonesia. Keywords : Students, speaking, anxiety.
Efek Pemberian Buah Naga Merah (Hylocereus Polyrhizus) Terhadap Penurunan Kadar Glukosa Darah Pada Penderita Diabetes Tipe 2

Diabetes Mellitus is a non-communicable disease and is an important public health problem. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body is ineffective in using it (WHO, 2016). One of the non-pharmacological management of diabetes mellitus is the administration of red dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is rich in antioxidants and contains many substances such as calcium, beta-carotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, phosphorus and flavonoid substances so that it can be used as a therapy to reduce blood glucose levels by preventing apoptosis due to oxidative reactions. The purpose of this case study is to compile a resume of nursing care in giving red dragon fruit to reduce blood glucose levels. This type of research is descriptive with a case study method in the form of a one group pretest posttest design. The subject of this study was 1 patient with diabetes mellitus. The results of the study showed that there was a change in the patient's condition after being given red dragon fruit for 10 days. Conclusion Dragon fruit has the effect of lowering blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus because it contains fiber that is able to bind water in the intestines, and contains antioxidants and bioactive compounds and is able to inhibit free radical compounds.&#x0D; Keywords: diabetes mellitus, adults, red dragon fruit

Privatization and Financial Performance (Earnings per share) on Selected Money deposit Banks in Nigeria (1980-2015)

The abysmal performance of state owned public enterprises due to the government bureaucracy coupled with corruption has become worrisome to the government and the public. Therefore, economic reforms such as privatization, commercialization and liberalization were carried out to address the aforementioned in federal government establishments. This study investigated the impact of privatization on financial performance of selected DMBs in Nigeria. The study employed ex-post facto research design. Three banks were chosen from the target population of nine privatized deposit money banks, namely, FBN Plc, UBA Plc and UBN Plc. Secondary data were used, while the pre and post diagnostic tests coupled with descriptive statistics and panel regression analysis were carried out. The findings revealed that privatization component (Percentage of share privatized, Age of bank, No of Directors, Incremental asset size and Leverage) had significant impact on EPS (Adj. R2 = 0.731, F(5, 30)= 20.085, p<0.05) of selected DMBs in Nigeria after privatization. The study concluded that privatization affected financial performance of selected deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study hereby recommended that the country’s corruption level must be relatively low to enable the government record a huge success of the programme.
Firm Characteristics, Financing and Firm Innovation in Africa

The study employed firm level data from the World Bank’s Enterprise Survey Indicator Database to investigate firm characteristics associated with firm innovation in 32 African countries, for the period 2009 to 2018. We find that firm level innovation, including the introduction of significantly new products (H1), new or significantly improved methods of manufacturing products (New Technology) are strongly associated with external funding sources (funds from Banks and non-banking institutions). In addition, firm level characteristics such as firm age, female ownership, capacity utilization, educated labor force, exposure to competition is strongly associated with firm innovation. These findings are very important for countries in Africa (and other less-developed countries) who spend less on research and development due financing and structural constraints but want to accelerate economic growth and increased productivity.

Getting practical with quantum security

Quantum NetworksCurrent communication platforms, exchange of data, and online financial transactions are secured by classical encryption methods. The advent of quantum computers is expected to replace these protocols at some point. Quantum key distribution (QKD) relies on quantum mechanics to ensure that security is maintained, but the operation of the quantum components is manufacturer dependent, making it difficult for different systems to talk to each other. De Marco et al. close that communication gap by developing a multirate, multiprotocol QKD transmitter. The operating regime can be adjusted in real time by changing the driving signal, thereby allowing it to communicate with different receiving devices. Such operational flexibility will be useful for securing what will be a multiuser, multivendor quantum network environment.Optica 8 , 911 (2021).

Towards explainable MCTS

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a family of sampling-based search algorithms widely used for online planning in sequential decision-making domains, and at the heart of many recent breakthroughs in AI. Understanding the behavior of MCTS agents is non-trivial for developers and users, as it results from often large and complex search trees, consisting of many simulated possible futures, their evaluations, and relationships to each other. This paper is presenting our ongoing exploration of possible explanations for MCTS decisionmaking and behavior. It is for the first time trying to tackle some of the challenges previously posed for explainable search, which include: meaningfully summarizing the space of possible futures spanned by the available actions of the AI and their possible consequences, in order to explain the AI’s choices between them; considering such explanations not only as static objects but as interactive conversations between user and AI; and understanding explanation not only as a one-way information flow from the AI to the user, but as a tool for human-AI collaboration and for leveraging both AI and human capabilities in problem solving.
