An Analysis of East Asian History Textbook Accounts of Buddhist History

The purpose of this study is to examine the ways in which Buddhist history is described in East Asian History textbooks, with the aim of providing directions for possible improvement. As is well known, the curriculum of East Asian History is mainly formed on the basis of Sadao Nishizima’s East Asian World Theory. The existing problems in East Asian History textbook accounts identified in this study are as follows:BR First, the introduction of the concept of ‘National Buddhism’ as an attempt to characterize East Asian Buddhism is problematic in that it does not seem to consider the complexity of the relationships between the state and Buddhism. BR Second, there appears to be numerous mis-representations of historical facts, especially in outlining Zen Buddhism in the Tang dynasty. Most importantly, little attempt is made to offer an overview of the major trends of East Asian Buddhism up to the 16th century.BR Third, the coverage of the exchanges that took place between dharma-seeking priests in East Asian countries is confined to the ancient era, showing little sign of an awareness of cultural history of Buddhism in the Southern Song dynasty and the Mongol empire.BR Finally, it is necessary to consider the recent interest in pan-Asian civilization centered around eastern Eurasia, which shows different understandings of Buddhist history in East Asia from those based on Nishizima’s theory. In conclusion, close attention needs to be paid to setting Buddhist history in East Asia within a framework of pan-Asian civilization centered around eastern Eurasia, going beyond the limited understanding of Buddhist history based on the theory of East Asian cultural sphere.

한국어 작문 ‘쓰기 전 단계’에서의 역번역 활동에 대한 교육적 탐색

This study shall execute back translation activity at the ''pre-writing stage'' as a method to improve the writing abilities of the student, and then investigate the educational methods based on such. This study is significant in that it suggests the empirical cases of back translating sample answers at the level of TOPIK high-level by a mid-level student, around TOPIK 3-grade, and makes the first suggestion of educational methods based on such. The study results and the educational method based on such are as follows. First, it appears that, even if the teacher is not quite fluent in the student''s mother tongue, the teacher can still conduct BAB translation activity by utilizing a well-translated original text in the student''s mother tongue. Second, the student errors were reduced through repeated translation process, and the 3rd AB translation process that factored in the student level and text difficulty, that is, the process of reconstituting adjusted to the student level with reference to the Korean original text, was significant, and the student satisfaction level was also the highest. Third, in the translation process, students exhibited characteristics such as using Chinese vocabularies due to the influence of Chinese language, and various grammatical errors. Also, abbreviation, simplification, analogue/analogous expression, and short sentence conversion strategies were used. Especially, some partially exhibited copying: such copying is more effective for low-level students rather than high-level students, so it may be useful as an alternative to lower-achieving students.

A corpus-based analysis of the syntactic complexity levels of reading passages in the College Entrance English Examination and English II

This study examined the syntactic complexity of reading passages in the College Entrance English Examination and English II, high school textbooks which inform the target difficulty level of the examination. A total of 68 passages from the three most recently administered papers of the examination and 29 passages from four randomly selected textbooks were analyzed using L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer, a software program which provides 14 indices of syntactic complexity. Kruskal-Wallis H tests indicated that in terms of all 14 indices the examination and the textbooks maintained the constant levels of syntactic complexity across years and publishers, respectively. In addition, Kruskal-Wallis H tests and Mann-Whitney U tests showed that in 10 out 14 indices of syntactic complexity reading passages from the examination were more complex syntactically than those from the textbooks. Implications of the findings are discussed, and directions for future research are also suggested.

Student experiences as they journey through blended learning

BACKGROUNDBlended learning has become increasingly prevalent in Higher Education (Garrison & Kanuka, 2004). Incoming students are diverse in their prior exposure to technology impacting on their digital literacies, and this diversity may not be accommodated by blended learning environments (Tang & Chaw, 2016). AIMSThe aim is to explore whether students’ perceptions of blended learning are related to their digital literacies, and to monitor these transitions over time. DESIGN AND METHODSStudents in first-year STEM courses were surveyed to measure their perceived levels of digital literacy. Semi-structured interviews explored the perceptions towards blended learning of 11 participants at both the start and end of the teaching semester. These were transcribed and analyzed inductively to identify emergent themes.RESULTSStudents were grouped based on levels of digital literacy from their survey responses, ranging low to high. Student understanding of blended learning was variable, with many unable to define it. Students reported high levels of confidence in their ability to use digital tools, despite a range of prior technology experience and perceived levels of digital literacy.CONCLUSIONSStudents exhibited varied perceptions towards blended learning, irrespective of their digital literacy and prior exposure to technology. This diversity in student perspectives and experiences should be addressed in blended instructional design.
Специфика управления массовым сознанием в информационном поле е-культуры

The article analyzes the management of subject orientation in the semantic field of modern e-culture. Studying the mechanisms of information environment influence on human consciousness and the unconscious constitutes an urgent task for social theory and complex of interdisciplinary research. The aim of the article is to identify the hidden resource of managing mass consciousness in the information field. The analysis baseline is the provision on the control nature of informational impact on consciousness in the processes of social adaptation. The specificity of matrix management of mass consciousness is revealed on the basis of topological approach emphasizing the role of media environment InfoSphere as the factor of social control. Socio-cognitive and systemanalytical methods are used. This allows realizing interdisciplinary synthesis of social and phenomenological aspects in the study of mass consciousness control in framing practices. The results show the possibilities of common sense matrix for user's cognitive orientation control in the network environment on the example of blog design. Orientations in the network society are noted to implement in hierarchically organized information environments, at different levels of information perception (perceptual, cognitive and reflexive). It is concluded that the hidden social control of mass consciousness is carried out through background knowledge, which acts as a resource of matrix management in the community. However, the high threshold of complexity of the global network makes it impossible to control totally the behavior of socio-technical elements of the InfoSphere and cognitive orientation of the subject in the virtual field as well.
Tie among Domestic Investment, Total Consumption and External Debt: Lessons from Tunisia

This paper aimed at examining the tie between domestic investment, total consumption, and external debt in the case of Tunisia over the period 1970-2017. By applying the VECM, in the long-run, our findings recorded the fact that that external debt and domestic investment have a negative effect on total consumption. However, we found a significant negative impact of the total consumption and external debt on domestic investment. In the short run, we recorded that only total consumption and external debt cause domestic investment. Due to the importance of our insights, several lessons for Tunisia in terms of commitment towards the aims of the 14 January revolution and reforms should be undertaken.
On foundational aspects of RDF and SPARQL

We consider the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) about the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the associated query language SPARQL. We propose a new formal framework based on category theory which provides clear and concise formal definitions of the main basic features of RDF and SPARQL. We propose to define the notions of RDF graphs as well as SPARQL basic graph patterns as objects of some nested categories. This allows one to clarify, in particular, the role of blank nodes. Furthermore, we consider basic SPARQL CONSTRUCT and SELECT queries and formalize their operational semantics following a novel algebraic graph transformation approach called POIM.
The fake-real or the real-fake? : En bild- och innehållsanalys om Lil Miquela, Kenza och Johanna E. Olsson på Instagram

The purpose of this bachelor thesis, The fake-real or the real-fake? An image and content analysis about Lil Miquela, Kenza and Johanna E. Olsson on Instagram, is to make an qualitative analysis of influencers which is in a unclear state between reality and virtuality. The thesis is investigating the virtual influencer Lil Miquela and the two human influencers Johanna Emma Olsson and Kenza Zouiten Subosic. By executing an semiotic analysis and a qualitative summative content analysis of two Instagram posts from each influencers. The themes representation, human brand and reality versus unreality is examined. The study showed that neither of the influencers could be seen as completely real on Instagram. This because there is a distinction between the persona which is presented on social media versus the real person, which the persona is representing. This makes the virtual influencer as real, or unreal, as an human influencer on social media. (Less)

La ansiedad escolar como variable explicativa del ciberacoso en estudiantes españoles de Educación Primaria

This study analyzed the explanatory power of school anxiety on cyberbullying and the differences in school anxiety according to the personal role in cyberbullying (victims, bullies, bullies-victims and not involved). The Screening of harassment among peers (SAI) and the School anxiety inventory for Primary Education (IAEP), was applied to 548 students (50.2% boys) of 5th and 6th grade of Primary Education (10-13 years). The evidence found placed the high scores in anxiety related to social evaluation as the explanatory variable of the role of victim, as well as higher levels in psychophysiological anxiety in the case of the bullies. Anxiety in the face of school punishment appears as a protective factor for not being bullies and bully-victims. In addition, student victims of cyberbullying showed more symptoms of anxiety in different school situations than student bully-victims and those not involved in cases of cyberbullying. The findings are discussed highlighting school anxiety as an explanatory variable of acting as a victim, bully and bully-victim of cyberbullying, which can guide the development of effective prevention programs.

Nowadays, Information Technology is increasingly presents in many organizations, facilitating the networking communication and the storage of information into the cloud. Thus, Information Security becomes a challenge because it seeks solution to how to treat threats and attacks on systems, ranging from simple invasions and even data theft and data hijacking. In order to perform a Computational Forensic Expertise within an organization whose data is available in the cloud, it will be necessary to create procedures and proactive security measures, as well as a constant campaign of awareness of its collaborators in relation to the handling of information and the consequences that may arise from non observance of the rules established in the Company´s Information Security Policy.
Negotiating a data processing agreement:: a practical perspective

Putting in place a data processing agreement between a data controller and a data processor (or a data processor and a data sub-processor) is a requirement for data processed within the scope of GDPR. This document, which is a proper contract between the two parties, aims to ensure that everyone involved is handling personal data in accordance with GDPR's stipulations and in line with the rules pre-established by the parties. Most importantly, it lays down requirements for data processors to meet before they are trusted with the data provided by the data controller. Both data controller and processor are, however, often driven by divergent interests when establishing such document. Main challenges are the ones relating to: responsibility for determining the scope and types of data processed; obligations to assist and cooperate; liability for implementation of adequate security measures and for security incidents; exercising data subjects' rights; questions relating to data residency and international data transfers; use of sub-processors; timeframe for notification obligations, etc. The paper is a practical perspective on how these different issues are addressed by the business and what arguments can be raised by each party when discussing various aspects of the data processing.
On the Global Optima of Kernelized Adversarial Representation Learning

Adversarial representation learning is a promising paradigm for obtaining data representations that are invariant to certain sensitive attributes while retaining the information necessary for predicting target attributes. Existing approaches solve this problem through iterative adversarial minimax optimization and lack theoretical guarantees. In this paper, we first study the form of this problem i.e., the setting where all the players are linear functions. We show that the resulting optimization problem is both non-convex and non-differentiable. We obtain an exact closed-form expression for its global optima through spectral learning and provide performance guarantees in terms of analytical bounds on the achievable utility and invariance. We then extend this solution and analysis to non-linear functions through kernel representation. Numerical experiments on UCI, Extended Yale B and CIFAR-100 datasets indicate that, (a) practically, our solution is ideal for imparting provable invariance to any biased pre-trained data representation, and (b) empirically, the trade-off between utility and invariance provided by our solution is comparable to iterative minimax optimization of existing deep neural network based approaches.

Expert system is a method used to implement human science to computer systems with the aim of solving a problem in the field of knowledge. Allergic disease is an overreaction from the body to certain particles from outside that enter the body which makes people feel uncomfortable and disturbed, allergies can occur with a variety of symptoms, some have experienced mild symptoms such as itchy eyes, sneezing, or reddened skin, and some are suffering from allergies with severe asthma. Factors from the causes of this allergy are very much encountered such as through the respiratory tract, through food, through drugs and so forth. Medical experts can use the application that has been built, which aims to make it easier to diagnose allergic diseases of the skin by only paying attention to the symptoms experienced. By using the Certainty Factor (CF) method, we get the value of a person's likelihood of developing allergic disease or not. The Certainty Factor (CF) method is very beneficial for the allergic skin disease system. &#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords: 3-5 Expert Systems, Skinpox, Certainty Factor.

Análise de desempenho de aplicações móveis nativas, cross-compiladas, híbridas e interpretadas

Mobile application development is becoming increasingly important due to the popularityof mobile devices. The most common mobile application development approachesare native, hybrid, interpreted and cross-compiled. In this work, we select the mostpopular development tool for each approach (namely Java, Ionic, React Native andFlutter, respectively) and use them to develop a group of applications. We measureapplications performance with respect to CPU and RAM consumption, execution timeand application size. Our results indicate that native development does not alwaysperform best. In many cases, other approaches may come close to native performance.
Phenomenological Study on Motherhood Experiences of Female Inmates

본 연구는 여성수형자들이 교도소 안에서 아기를 키우며 경험하게 되는 모성 경험을 심층적으로 탐색하여 그 본질적인 의미구조를 이해하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이 연구 목적을 달성하기 위한 현상학적 연구 질문은 “여성수형자들이 공간, 시간, 신체, 관계에서 경험한 모성은 어떠한 것이며 그 경험의 본질적 의미는 무엇인가” 이다. 교도소 내에서 아기를 키우는 여성수형자들의 모성 체험은 van Manen의 생활세계 4가지 실존체인 체험적 공간, 체험적 시간, 체험적 신체, 체험적 관계로 구분되어 들여다 볼 수 있다. 이들 각각의 실존체가 갖는 독특한 의미를 통해 발견한 여성수형자들의 모성경험의 본질은 ‘놓음’ 이다. 그들은 자신을 위해 붙들고 있던 아기의 손과 의지했던 마음을 놓으며 모성을 경험하였다. 이에 본 연구는 여성수형자의 모성 경험을 통해 모성이 갖는 의미에 대한 깊이 있는 사유와 인간의 밑마음에 대한 공감과 이해의 자료로 사용될 것으로 기대한다.This study, which conducted an in-depth exploration on the experiences of female inmates while raising a child in prison, aimed to understand the essential structure of its meaning. Research question for this purpose was “What is actual motherhood experience of female inmates in regard to space, time, body and relationship, and what is the essential meaning of those experiences?”. Motherhood experiences of female inmates raising a child in prison could be looked at by dividing into four substances of van Manen in everyday lived experiences - experienced space, experienced time, experienced body and experienced relationship. The essence of motherhood experiences of female inmates, which was revealed through the unique meanings of each of these substances, was ‘release’. They experienced motherhood as they released the hands of child and their heart held for themselves. The study expects the findings could be used as materials to understand and sympathize with deep thought on the meanings of motherhood and human’s inner heart related with maternal experiences of female inmates.
