Coupled Adversarial Learning for Single Image Super-Resolution

Generative adversarial nets (GAN) have been widely used in several image restoration tasks such as image denoise, enhancement, and super-resolution. The objective functions of an image super-resolution problem based on GANs usually are reconstruction error, semantic feature distance, and GAN loss. In general, semantic feature distance was used to measure the feature similarity between the super-resolved and ground-truth images, to ensure they have similar feature representations. However, the feature is usually extracted by the pre-trained model, in which the feature representation is not designed for distinguishing the extracted features from low-resolution and high-resolution images. In this study, a coupled adversarial net (CAN) based on Siamese Network Structure is proposed, to improve the effectiveness of the feature extraction. In the proposed CAN, we offer GAN loss and semantic feature distances simultaneously, reducing the training complexity as well as improving the performance. Extensive experiments conducted that the proposed CAN is effective and efficient, compared to state-of-the-art image super-resolution schemes.

This research is motivated by reading disability of the fourth-grade students, causing them having learning difficulty since reading is the tool to learn other knowledge. The research aims to examine the effectiveness of Sensory Integration-based Picture Word Inductive Model in improving early reading skills of students with learning disabilities in elementary schools. The research employed Research and Development (R&D) method and data analysis of the Wilcoxon test. Research participants were six fourth-grade students in Bandung Regency and Bandung City. The results prove that Sensory Integration-based PWIM can improve early reading skills of the fourth-grade learning disabilities students in elementary schools in Bandung City on the abilities of (1) identifying letters of the alphabet, (2) reading syllables, (3) reading words, and (4) reading simple sentences. The results of the complete test of Sensory Integration-based PWIM learning model on students with learning disabilities using the Wilcoxon test based on SPSS show that the pre-test and post-test scored -4,210. The value which is less than 0,5 means that Sensory Integration-based PWIM can be used to improve early reading skills of learning disabilities students having difficulty in learning to read. The findings recommend that particularly the first-grade elementary teachers and generally all elementary teachers implement Sensory Integration-based PWIM, which functionalizes sensory such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, touch, and pronunciation, in reading lesson.
Enfoque por tareas en inmersión. ¿Cómo y cuánto aprendo en una semana? Una propuesta didáctica para cursos cortos

A didactic proposal for short courses In our immersion courses in Buenos Aires we face the challenge of short educational stays of 1, 2 to 4 weeks. Within these weeks we must offer the greatest amount of input, and ensure that students can interact in the context of immersion with no difficulty. We call active methodology to the ability to produce, edit, analyze information and do things to transform the experience into knowledge. This work aims to show how two models of projects and tasks are implemented in different levels, with their developments, assessments, student profiles and conclusions that we have designed in our Institute during this school year.
A study on example comparison of the suffix “的(teki / jeok)” in modern Japanese and Korean - Focusing on productivity and guidance to learners -.

The purpose of this study is to compare examples of the suffix “的(teki / jeok)” in Japanese and Korean. This survey is based on examples from newspaper articles for one year. The examples are classified into examples that are used only in Japanese, examples that are used only in Korean, and examples that are commonly used. As a result of analysis, Korean is more productive about “的”. The reason is as follows. ①According to previous studies, Korean had more words that used “的”. As a reason for this, previous studies pointed out the effect of part of speech, which is also true in this survey. However, another reason is that Korean has a high proportion of Chinese characters. In Korean, there are many Chinese characters words that are not used in Japanese, so there are many words that are preceded by “的”. ②When a noun is modified with the particle “の(no)” in Japanese, Korean tends to use “的”. Furthermore, when using a suffix other than “的” in Japanese, “的” was sometimes used in Korean. For these reasons, Korean uses more suffix “的” than Japanese. In addition, learners should note the following points. Examples that are commonly used in Japanese and Korean also have different usages. The reason is that the same Chinese characters can have different meanings in Japanese and Korean.

Blockchain can change the way we vote...

We all are familiar with Bitcoins as they have boomed the World in the past few years and we all know that blockchain is the technology or the backbone of Bitcoins. So what exactly is blockchain and why so much of hype about it in the tech world? Basically blockchain is the record keeping technology behind most of the cryptocurrency. In simple words if we just break the word “blockchain” itself we’ll get two words “block” and “chain” hence it’s safe to say that blockchain is nothing but chain of blocks.
The novel visualization techniques of teaching Ukrainian literature in the secondary school

The paper is devoted to the problem of making educational process in the secondary school more interesting, productive, and effective by means of using visualization techniques of different formats: visual paper images, electronic and Internet resources. The aim of the research is to determine and characterize the most user-friendly visualization techniques suitable for teaching literature in the secondary school. The major attention is paid to the ways of diversification of imagery representation of verbal and factual information at the lessons of the Ukrainian literature. The authors dwell on such visualization techniques as: interactive book, cloud of tags, book trailer, lap-book, timeline, scribing, and comics. Each visualization technique is considered from the following points of view: a) essence and content; b) opportunity to be created and used with the help of tablets, mobile phones, PowerPoint, other gadgets or computer-added appliances; c) ways of application in classroom study; d) influence on attention, intellect, and memory of students; e) capability to stimulate the student’s learning activity; f) advantages and disadvantages; g) availability of Internet services which can be helpful for student’s creative activity (project, teamwork or individual). The paper opens a perspective for detailed study of the content and a set of instruments of computer programs and Internet services on the visualization of verbal information for their further implementation at the lessons of the Ukrainian literature.
Knowledge-based geospatial data integration and visualization with Semantic Web technologies

Geospatial information is indispensable for various spatially-informed analysis and decision-making, e.g. traffic analysis and built environment processes. Geospatial data often must be integrated for meaningful analysis, whereas such integration is challenging due to siloed data organization, semantic heterogeneity and multiple representation of geospatial data. Moreover, the visualization of geospatial data is one of the most prominent ways of utilizing geospatial data, however how to properly visualize the data is sometime difficult, as it pertains to a wide range of visualization (cartographic) knowledge. Semantic Web technologies unveil a promising way to mitigate these issues, as they provide means of data integration on the Web, and knowledge representation capacity to formally represent the visualization knowledge. In this PhD project, we investigate the potential values of Semantic Web technologies for geospatial data integration (particularly for geospatial data with multiple representation) and visualization in several cases, where the integration and visualization knowledge is formalized using Semantic Web technologies. All the case studies embody realworld meaning and entail data integration and visualization challenge, which have been addressed by state-of-the-art solutions inadequately. Preliminary results demonstrate great yet not fully unlocked potential of Semantic Web technologies for geospatial data, and also disclose challenges that need to be addressed. (Less)

Le collezioni come occasione di “conversazione” con la comunità

The dossier “Innovative Libraries” presents a review of the experiences of libraries that have in common the search for solutions aimed at redefining their role, with particular attention to the social dimension and new paths of access to knowledge. From a library experience conceived as a community hub, we move on to examine a case of involvement of local businesses in a cultural welfare perspective. The case of Turin is original. Here libraries offer to citizens hospitality in their offices to meet with professionals (accountants, notaries, etc.) to obtain advice, while in Rome and Milan there is a growing commitment to the prison population. The case of proximity libraries and condominium libraries is unique, while the promotion of active citizenship and the practice of listening is growing. Innovating also means transferring skills to students that enable them to operate in a Wikimedian environment or use the collections as an opportunity for conversation with the community. Innovation for academic libraries also passes through their ability to present themselves as digital and participatory thanks to the opportunities offered by the Third Mission and the opportunities offered to academic libraries to respond to the strong drives towards open science. Finally in a short article is described the new alliance between a public library and a library for patients of an oncology institute.

THE ROLE OF SELF-EDUCATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL FORMATION OF FUTURE LABOR EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY TEACHERS

The importance of independent thinking formation and promotion of the desire to discover new knowledge and ways of mastering them while studying in educational institutions is considered.Forming the need for self-education is the highest form of self-expression, an indicator of professionalism of a specialist. The urgency and necessity of introducing self-educational activities in the preparation of the future teacher of labor training and technology are emphasized. It is highlighted that self-educational activity in the sphere of education is to increase the level of professional mobility and competitiveness of the specialist in all spheres of social production.The analysis of students’ readiness for self-educational activity is presented in detail.It has been found out that with the development of information technology, self-education is becoming easier and more accessible. Self-education of a person is characterized as a complex, multicomponent, cognitive activity on a voluntary basis, which occurs in the presence of developed self-awareness and an appropriate level of personality culture. The purpose and the result of self-educational activity is to broaden the outlook, replenish knowledge, enhance self-esteem, form cognitive interests and needs, professional and personal self-improvement.It is noted that it is important to identify and disclose the main factors of self-education, determine the driving forces of personality development in this context, as well as to determine the conditions for quality assurance of self-educational activities.
청초(淸初) 비평가(批評家) 손종(孫琮)의 평어(評語) 분석(分析) ― ≪산효각선당대가유유주전집(山曉閣選唐大家柳柳州全集)≫을 중심으로

This paper examines the characteristics of criticism in the anthology of early Qing dynasty classical prose, focusing on Sun Cong(孫琮)’s anthology. Sun Cong was a full-time critic of the early Qing dynasty who compiled a vast amount of anthologies. He spent his entire life writing in a library called Shanxiaoge(山曉閣). In his old age, he traveled from place to place and wrote poems. The most widely loved of his writings is ≪Shan xiao ge xuan tang da jia liu liu zhou quan ji≫, which contains 99 prose of Liu Zongyuan(柳宗元) during the Tang dynasty. This paper analyzes his general comment based on this text. His main discussion in the general comment is to explore the writer’s feelings or to include an understanding of the historical development of literature. But in all these criticisms he used the method of division. The reason was to promote a high level of learning effect through the most familiar form between learners and critics. Most of the classical prose of the early Qing dynasty attempted to make literary claims or control ideas based on the purpose of teaching. Other anthologies were compiled for the purpose of learning sentence writing and making them useful for imperial examinations. Son Cong’s purpose of criticism was to teach, and the core of the teaching was to understand the sentence in a timely and holistic manner. This characteristic of his comment best followed the demands of his time.
Analisis Sistem Penyimpanan Dan Prosedur Temu Kembali Arsip Dinamis di PT Artojoyo Langgeng Jaya Abadi (JH Tech Sidoarjo)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the storage system and dynamic archive retrieval procedure at PT Artojoyo Langgeng Jaya Abadi (JH Tech Sidoarjo). This type of research is a descriptive study using a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were 3 administrative section employees. Data collection techniques used by researchers are interviews. In this study, researchers used a source triangulation method which conducted interviews with the Head of Administration of PT Artojoyo Langgeng Jaya Abadi (JH Tech Sidoarjo). The data analysis technique used by researchers is the analysis of Miles and Huberman data models consisting of data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing / verification. The results of research conducted indicate that the storage system is a date system. Storage system is done by date with a manual system but the storage system is not good, because it is not carried out in the order of storage steps according to the experts so that it results in an accumulation of archives and is not neatly organized and difficult to recover the records. Records retrieval procedure uses only one tool to rediscover the archive, which is an agenda book where employees must search the required archives one by one on the date stated so that it takes a long time and hinders the employee's performance in handling the records. The time needed is far from the standard search time, which is approximately 1 (one) minute per archive, while at PT Artojoyo Langgeng Jaya Abadi (JH Tech Sidoarjo) to find one archive takes 5 to 10 minutes. Barriers or problems often occur in the storage process that is confusion employees put the archive on the shelf because the storage space is narrow with increasing records. So there is a need for other tools, namely the loan card archive so that it can maximize the work of employees in the storage system and the recovery of records.Keywords: Storage System; Archive Retrival.
