Heutagogy in action: Unveiling the transformative power of virtual “air campus” experiences of mathematics trainee teachers
Authors: Alex Jogymol Kalariparampil , Mukuka Angel
Published: March 2024

The fourth industrial revolution has brought about significant changes in various fields including the education sector. It is increasingly essential for individuals, particularly student teachers, to embrace lifelong learning and acquire the know-how and skills required to grow into autonomous and critical thinkers. In this paper, we examine the virtual “air campus” experiences of 39 first-year student teachers of mathematics at a rural university in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. The heutagogical approach served as a lens for trainee teachers’ virtual “air campus” explorations. An exploratory qualitative case study design was employed to provide answers to two main questions that guided the inquiry. Findings of the study show that trainee teachers had varied experiences regarding what they learned from their virtual “air campus” visits. These include what constitutes effective teaching and how students learn as well as correction of common misconceptions regarding specific concepts in school mathematics. Through virtual lesson observations on the “air campus” of their choice, trainee teachers were also able to create their professional identities in terms of their future goals, ideal teacher traits, and desired teaching and learning environments. These findings demonstrate that integrating virtual learning environments into teacher education curricula and assessment has practical implications for enhancing trainee teachers’ self-directed learning, critical thinking, and professional identity development.

Transparencia algorítmica y Estado Abierto en Colombia
Authors: Gutiérrez Rodríguez Juan David , Castellanos-Sánchez Michelle
Published: March 2024

En los últimos años se ha producido un rápido avance y despliegue del uso de sistemas de toma automatizada de decisiones (SDA) tanto en el sector público como en el privado alrededor del mundo, incluida Colombia. Por otra parte, la mayoría de las guías y marcos éticos asociadas con el desarrollo y uso de IA incluyen como uno de los principales valores la “transparencia”. Paradójicamente, son pocas las entidades estatales del nivel nacional y/o local que informan de manera sistemática y estandarizada sobre el uso de dichos sistemas. Además, pocos Estados abren espacios de participación ciudadana y de rendición de cuentas en las diferentes etapas del ciclo de vida de estos sistemas. Este artículo estudia la relación entre el principio de transparencia algorítmica y el modelo Estado Abierto en el contexto colombiano en la última década. Además de explorar dichos conceptos desde el punto de vista conceptual, abordamos sus sinergias y tensiones a través de diferentes políticas e instrumentos de política pública y casos que han llegado hasta los tribunales de Colombia. El estudio aborda la transparencia de la administración pública respecto de sus sistemas algorítmicos desde una perspectiva “macro”, cómo las instituciones formales e informales inciden en la transparencia y, desde una perspectiva “meso”, cómo se implementa la transparencia a nivel organizacional. Para tal efecto realizamos un caso de estudio comparado en el cual abordamos seis casos en Colombia; tres sobre transparencia pasiva (CoronApp, escrutinio de elecciones, y BETTO) y tres sobre transparencia activa (repositorios de algoritmos públicos).

Indiana State Parks and the Landscape of Modernity
Authors: Burrows Steven M.
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT: Fully a century ago, the people of Indiana successfully campaigned to protect certain portions of the local landscape as state parks and to keep these areas as a heritage passed down to future generations. This essay argues that these seemingly “natural” sites are also inexorably linked to urban matters, dynamics, and systems. Close examination of archival source material and contemporary newspapers shows that the Indiana state parks were central to the dissemination and display of modern ideas about technology and personal health, as well as evolving cultural values concerning bureaucratic efficiency. Ultimately, these sites afforded Indiana space to position itself in the vanguard of Progressive-Era social and economic growth while simultaneously creating a veritable laboratory to consolidate the newly minted authority of the state.

Accurate prediction of accident risks plays a crucial role in proactively implementing safety measures and allocating resources effectively. This paper introduces an innovative approach aimed at improving accident risk prediction by harnessing unique data sources and extracting insights from diverse yet sparse datasets. Traditional models often face limitations due to a lack of diversity and scope in the available data, which hinders their predictive capabilities. In response to this challenge, our study integrates a broad spectrum of heterogeneous data, encompassing traffic flow, weather conditions, road infrastructure details, and historical accident records. To overcome the difficulties associated with sparse data, we employ advanced data science techniques such as feature engineering, imputation, and machine learning. The paper introduces a novel dataset that amalgamates various data types, establishing a robust foundation for our predictive model. Through meticulous analysis, we derive valuable insights from these diverse sources, significantly enhancing our ability to assess accident risks. The proposed approach offers numerous advantages, including the capacity to predict accidents in areas that were previously underrepresented and under varying conditions. We rigorously evaluate the model's performance through extensive experimentation and validate its accuracy using real-world accident data. Our results indicate substantial improvements in prediction accuracy compared to conventional models. This research contributes significantly to the field of accident risk prediction by highlighting the potential benefits of integrating heterogeneous sparse data and leveraging advanced data science techniques. The study underscores the importance of tapping into novel data sources and extracting concealed patterns and insights to promote safety and optimize resource allocation in accident-prone regions, fostering more secure environments.

Wastewater treatment stands as a critical component in mitigating environmental pollution and safeguarding public health. This review delves into the pivotal role of chemical engineering simulations in advancing wastewater treatment technologies towards enhanced environmental sustainability. The modernization of wastewater treatment processes necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions involved. Chemical engineering simulations offer a powerful toolset for modeling and optimizing these processes with a focus on efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. Firstly, simulations enable the prediction and analysis of pollutant removal mechanisms within treatment systems. By simulating various operating conditions and configurations, engineers can optimize treatment processes to achieve higher removal efficiencies while minimizing resource consumption and waste generation. Secondly, simulations aid in the design and development of innovative treatment technologies, such as membrane filtration, advanced oxidation processes, and biological nutrient removal systems. Through computational modeling, engineers can assess the performance and feasibility of these technologies under different scenarios, facilitating informed decision-making and accelerating their implementation. Furthermore, chemical engineering simulations play a crucial role in addressing emerging challenges in wastewater treatment, including the removal of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. By simulating the behavior of these contaminants within treatment systems, engineers can devise targeted strategies for their removal, thus mitigating their adverse environmental and public health impacts. Chemical engineering simulations serve as indispensable tools for advancing wastewater treatment technologies towards greater environmental sustainability. By facilitating the optimization, design, and innovation of treatment processes, simulations contribute to the development of more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for managing wastewater and protecting our ecosystems. Embracing these simulation-driven approaches is essential for achieving the ambitious goals of sustainable development and ensuring a cleaner, healthier future for generations to come.

An Improved MAP-Elites Algorithm via Rotational Invariant Operator in Differential Evolution for Continuous Optimization
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Choi Tae Jong
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we propose a new approach that enhances the continuous optimization performance of the MAP-Elites algorithm. The existing self-referencing MAP-Elites algorithm employed the “DE/rand/1/bin” operator from the differential evolution algorithm, which, due to its lack of rotational invariance, led to a degradation in optimization performance when there were high correlations among variables. The proposed algorithm replaces the “DE/rand/1/bin” operator with the “DE/current-to-rand/1” operator. This operator, possessing rotational invariance, ensures robust performance even in cases where there are high correlations among variables. Experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm performs better than the comparison algorithms.

Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Hwang Yoon Yong , Kim Mi Ra
Published: March 2024

The Metaverse as a combination of physical and digital space, provides many consumers with a different process of search, evaluation, consumption, and disposal than before, based on hyper-connected and hyper-realistic services. Therefore, it is necessary to examine what kind of sensory experiences customers feel when performing various activities in the Metaverse and how these experiences affect customers' behavioral responses. This study measured the temporal and emotional experience of the Metaverse service environment felt during the Metaverse experience journey of customers experiencing medical tourism services. The results of the study showed that the emotional experience through Metaverse had a more positive impact on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty as the intensity of the Metaverse experience deepened. In particular, it was confirmed that the emotional experience at the end of the Metaverse service had a positive influence on repurchase behavior. These results show that, just as in the real world, customer experience in the Metaverse can provide important insight into understanding customers' post purchase behavior and how service providers can develop and implement effective customer experience strategies in the Metaverse environment.

Published: March 2024

Greenhouse provides opportunities to have big yield effectively and efficiently. However, many resources are required, such as fertigation, a kind of solution of nutrient. Resources supply is essential to cultivate crops. Inadequate supply will hinder plant growth whereas the surplus results in waste. In this paper, we are especially interested in the fertigation supply. Further, excess fertigation leads to drainage which is difficult to purify and threatens the environment. To address this challenge, we aim to predict the desired amount of fertigation. To achieve this objective, we first establish a prototype to record the climate conditions inside a rose greenhouse using Internet of Things sensors. Simultaneously, the desired fertigation amount is obtained with the help of weight scale and historical data of fertigation supply and drainage. Second, a method is proposed to predict the desired fertigation by taking the sensors’ data as input, with a time-series model. Extensive experimental results suggest the potential of our objective and method. To be specific, our method achieves an average MAE 0.032 in the validation datasets.

In precision cattle farm, reliably tracking the identity of each cattle is necessary. Effective tracking of cattle within farm environments presents a unique challenge, particularly with the need to minimize the occurrence of excessive tracking trajectories. To address this, we introduce a trajectory playback decision tree algorithm that reevaluates and cleans tracking results based on spatio-temporal relationships among trajectories. This approach considers trajectory as metadata, resulting in more realistic and accurate tracking outcomes. This algorithm showcases its robustness and capability through extensive comparisons with popular tracking models, consistently demonstrating the promotion of performance across various evaluation metrics that is HOTA, AssA, and IDF1 achieve 68.81%, 79.31%, and 84.81%.

In the shipyard, aerial images are acquired at regular intervals using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for the management of external storage yards. These images are then investigated by humans to manage the status of the storage yards. This method requires a significant amount of time and manpower especially for large areas. In this paper, we propose an automated management technology based on a semantic segmentation foundation model to address these challenges and accurately assess the status of external storage yards. In addition, as there is insufficient publicly available dataset for external storage yards, we collected a small-scale dataset for external storage yards objects and equipment. Using this dataset, we fine-tune an object detector and extract initial object candidates. They are utilized as prompts for the Segment Anything Model(SAM) to obtain precise semantic segmentation results. Furthermore, to facilitate continuous storage yards dataset collection, we propose a training data generation pipeline using SAM. Our proposed method has achieved 4.00%p higher performance compared to those of previous semantic segmentation methods on average. Specifically, our method has achieved 5.08% higher performance than that of SegFormer.

Published: March 2024

This paper describes the development of a system and algorithms for high-quality welfare services by recognizing behavior development indicators (activity, sociability, danger) in children aged 0 to 2 years old using action recognition technology. Action recognition targeted 11 behaviors from lying down in 0-year-olds to jumping in 2-year-olds, using data directly obtained from actual videos provided for research purposes by three nurseries in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions. A dataset of 1,867 actions from 425 clip videos was built for these 11 behaviors, achieving an average recognition accuracy of 97.4%. Additionally, for real-world application, the Edge Video Analyzer (EVA), a behavior analysis device, was developed and implemented with a region-specific random frame selection-based PoseC3D algorithm, capable of recognizing actions in real-time for up to 30 people in four-channel videos. The developed system was installed in three nurseries, tested by ten childcare teachers over a month, and evaluated through surveys, resulting in a perceived accuracy of 91 points and a service satisfaction score of 94 points.

Authors: Ashly Rajan  , Kumar Gaurav
Published: March 2024

The exploration of new energy resources has been a major challenge in the last decades for urban development. Biohydrogen is one of the most efficient renewable sources because the consumption of fossil fuels is highly polluting the environment. The production of biohydrogen from microalgae is a very attractive approach that helps to achieve bioenergy sustainability and carbon neutrality. However, the low yield of biohydrogen production appears to be the main challenge with microalgae. The aim of this research was to study the production of biohydrogen by Scenedesmus obliquus and various pretreatment methods such as physical, chemical and biological to increase the yield. The chemical pre-treatment process such as the alkaline method produces more hydrogen than other methods.

Published: March 2024

The composition, properties, structure and morphology of electrodeposited Zn-Co alloy deposits obtained from an acid sulphate bath containing TEA and thiaminehydrochloride have been investigated. A bath solution containing 11% Co produced an alloy deposit with 0.6% Co indicating preferential deposition of zinc (anomalous process). The percentage of Co in the alloy increased with increase in current density and temperature. Cathodic current efficiency decreased with increase in current density and temperature. Static potentials of Zn-Co alloy were less negative to zinc and more negative to mild steel. Zn-Co alloy forms solid solution structure (-phase). The morphology of the alloy varied with %Co in an alloy deposit.
Heavy Metals (Cadmium and Arsenic) Bioaccumulation and Their Impact on Antioxidant Status in Liver and Kidney of Male Albino Rats
Authors: Sreedevi C. , Kesavulu V. , Usha Rani A.
Published: March 2024

Cadmium and arsenic are the most common environmental toxicants that pose adverse impact on human health upon their entry. Cadmium and arsenic are not metabolized or excreted easily and hence gets bioaccumulated in different organs leading to an escalation in their concentration promoting suppression of antioxidants status and causes organ damage. The present study was designed to evaluate the toxicity of cadmium and arsenic both individually and in combination in the liver and kidney of male albino rats. Wistar strain male albino rats were treated with cadmium as cadmium chloride (CdCl2) at a dose of 22.5 mg/kg body weight (1/10th LD50 / 96 h) and arsenic as sodium arsenate (Na3AsO4) at a dose of 42 mg/kg body weight (1/10th LD50 / 96 h) for a time interval of 30 days. The rats were sacrificed after a specific time interval, Cd bioaccumulation and oxidative stress enzymes were calculated in liver and kidney. The present study results suggest that Cd was more toxic to kidney and As was more toxic to liver, but combined treatment might have showed antagonistic effects to each other. It suggests that combined administration might promote MT protein synthesis that helps in the production of antioxidants and depletes toxicity levels.
Probiotics in Aquatic Ecosystem – A Review
Authors: Vishnu Kiran Manam
Published: March 2024

Aquaculture suffers from bad soil conditions which lead to higher mortality, disease incidence, and a decrease in yield. Soil deterioration in aquaculture ponds is mainly due to the excess feed, fecal matter of the cultured organism such as shrimp and fish, and dead animals. Two major gases cause problems namely hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Unless we understand the nitrogen cycle and sulfur cycle in the bond ecosystem, the solution is impossible. Nitrogen from amino acids, proteins, nucleic acid, minerals from feed supplements, etc., from organic matter accumulated as mentioned from the sources above, is converted to ammonia by a group of bacteria called nitrogen reducers. Sulfur from sulfur-containing amino acids, proteins, and a mineral is converted to hydrogen sulfide by sulfur-reducing bacteria. Nature has both oxidizing and reducing bacteria in perfect harmony. In a man-made system, one overtakes the other. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the biocontrol of microbial pathogens in aquaculture using antagonistic micro-organisms. Remediation of these unpleasant and unwanted problems in aquaculture there is a need for probiotics in shrimp culture through feed and/or water to prevent the aquaculture ponds from undergoing eutrophication and to control the microbial diseases in shrimps and enhance their growth rate and survival in an eco-friendly ambiance without the use antibiotics thus, resulting in quality assurance, quality control and above all environmental safety.
Combined Effects of Intense THz Laser Field and Applied Electric Field on Binding Energy of Exciton in GaAs/GaAlAs Finite Spherical Quantum Dot
Authors: J. Diouri  , A.Ouadgui  , J. Khamkhami  , A. El Rhalami
Published: March 2024

This paper describes the combined effects of intense THz laser field and electric field on the ground state binding energy of heavy hole excitons confined in GaAs/ GaAlAs spherical finite quantum dots. The formulation is based on the model of “laser dressed potential” which combines Coulomb interaction and field effect in only one potential as reported in the literature. The calculation is performed by using the variational method in the framework of the single band effective mass theory. Our results show that (i) the laser field increases the electron and hole confinement energy that form the exciton in the QD until they reach a maximum, then they become almost constant for an intense laser field, (ii)the electric field and the laser field lowers the binding energy for all quantum dot radii making the exciton stabilized and clustered near the center of the dot, and iii)the laser field increases the spatial extension of exciton but the electric field decreases it linearly.

La visita a la sinagoga para observar –más que para cumplir con una obligación– es un rasgo de la modernidad. Había visitas en la edad media pero eran marcadamente diferentes. El siglo XV es un momento de transición. Las luces eran una parte central del espectáculo. Su simbolismo y significado era rico en variantes que se construían y reconstruían frecuentemente. Parece haber más evidencia para las contribuciones a la sinagoga que al Midrash. El corpus de testimonios que muestran las benefacciones para mantener las luces es muy nutrido. Las mujeres tienen un protagonismo especial. El deseo de contribuir está por encima de diferencias de género, clase socioeconómica, profesiones, localidades.
Tradición y modernidad en el viaje de peregrinación a Jerusalén del Marqués de Tarifa: influencia en el patrimonio cultural de Sevilla
Authors: Cambil Henández María Encarnación
Published: March 2024

La tradición y modernidad que caracteriza el paso de la Edad Media a la Edad Moderna en nuestro país, tendrá su reflejo en los viajes de peregrinación a Tierra Santa. Durante el siglo xvi, los viajeros cristianos que llegaban en peregrinación hasta Jerusalén realizaban su periplo con un interés fundamentalmente religioso y devocional. Pero éste no era el único, ya que se le unían otros intereses como la búsqueda de aventuras, del conocimiento y de negocios. Durante el viaje de ida, el peregrino, lleno de emoción y espiritualidad, visitaba santuarios y reliquias para obtener las indulgencias necesarias para el buen morir y lograr la vida eterna. Sin embargo, durante el viaje de vuelta, ya convertido en viajero, llevaba a cabo los otros objetivos previstos convirtiéndose en una experiencia que después tendría su reflejo en su entorno y en el patrimonio. En este trabajo analizaremos la estancia del Marqués de Tarifa en Jerusalén y su viaje de vuelta a Sevilla, pues su experiencia durante estos tramos del viaje quedará plasmada para siempre en el paisaje cultural de la ciudad de Sevilla.

Published: March 2024

This research explores Paulo Freire's perspective on Islamic education and its relevance to the Islamic curriculum in madrasahs in prioritizing moral and ethical values. This report uses a comprehensive approach to analyze Freire's 1972 book, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" and highlights the importance of Freire's paradigm in Islamic education in Indonesia, especially in madrasah. This paradigm emphasizes the importance of student involvement, active participation, and participation in learning, in line with the objectives of the Islamic curriculum to create critical, creative, and responsible individuals in the 21st century. Integrating Islam into Freire's paradigm can also improve character, morals, and religious values in education. It emphasizes dialogue, participation, and contextual engagement in learning, fostering a sense of responsibility for developing skills and values relevant to the social and cultural context. It is hoped that applying the Freire paradigm and Islamic education in Indonesian education, especially in madrasahs, will lead to a more comprehensive, inclusive, and meaningful education.

Published: March 2024

Perilaku amoral terus melaju ibarat anak panah yang melesat dari busurnya, seolah tak terbendung bisa menancap kepada siapa saja, tak terkecuali anak-anak yang masih usia remaja. Pendidikan karakter dan keteladanan di pondok pesantren salah satu benteng pertahanan yang paling kokoh hingga saat ini. Penelitian menemukan bahwa pendidikan karakter dan keteladanan sudah melekat, identik, dan teruji ratusan tahun-cenennial-di beberapa pondok pesantren besar termasuk pondok modern Darussalam Gontor yang diorkestrai oleh KH Imam Zarkasi. Di mana ruh karakter dan keteladanan beliau masih terus hidup hingga kini. Spirit pendidikan karakter dan keteladanan banyak terinspirasi daru dua tokoh protagonis di dalam Al-Qurâ€™an yang disematkan kepada keduanya term â€œuswatun hasanahâ€ yaitu habibullah Muhammad ï·º dan khalilullah Ibrahim â€˜alahissalam. Ujian dan cobaan yang dirasakan oleh kedua nabi protagonis dalam berdakwah juga dirasakan pahit-getirnya oleh KH Imam Zarkasyi yang melewati masa penjajahan Jepang, pemberontakan G-30 SPKI, dan gagasannya untuk menjadikan pendidikan pesantren sebagai pendidikan utama di Indonesia tidak diakomodir pemerintah saat itu.Â  Â  Â  Â

Published: March 2024

The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to build scenario forecasts of the demographic future of the BRICS countries, and second, to predict the most significant consequences of a particular scenario in terms of shifts in values. It is shown that the negative demographic scenario can lead to a noticeable weakening of the BRICS in the global arena both in economic (due to the reduction of labor resources) and in value-cultural terms. However, the implementation of the BRICS+ project will contribute to a significant impact of the union on the values and cultural map of the world.

Authors:   Korean Educational Research Association, Park Su young , Han Cheon-woo
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to explore the structural relationships among middle school students’ perceived classroom goal structure, growth mindset, achievement goals, and self-regulated learning. To do so, 373 students at S Middle School in D City participated; 348 of them were used for preliminary analyses, structural equation model analyses, and bootstrapping. The results showed that mastery goal structure had a positive effect on self-regulated learning through the mediation of the mastery approach goal and of the performance approach goal, respectively. Also, the mastery goal structure had a significant effect on self-regulated learning by sequentially mediating growth mindset and mastery approach goals. On the other hand, the performance goal construct had direct effects on only performance approach goals and performance avoidance goals. A growth mindset predicted mastery approach goals and performance approach goals. These results suggest the importance of understanding the structural relationship between environmental factors, such as classroom goal structures, and intrinsic factors in order to promote adaptive academic behaviors. This study also identified a consistent mastery goal structure in classrooms for enhancing a growth mindset and mastery approach goals, along with the necessity for teacher capabilities, home―school partnerships, and policy support.
Characteristics and Implications of the Historical Debates on MACOS
Authors:   Korean Educational Research Association, Sung Youl-Kwan , Han Soohyeon , Kim Youngsil
Published: March 2024

This paper examined the historical debates on MACOS (Man: A Course of Study), which was the social studies curriculum for 5th graders, used in the US around the year 1970. This article aimed to understand the nature of the debates and draw lessons for curriculum research. The birth of this curriculum was related to the Sputnik shock, leading Jerome Bruner to get involved in development projects. However, it was short-lived due to fierce conflicts with fundamentalists. This article discusses (a) what made MACOS into a debate and an opposition movement, (b) what kind of sociological meanings we can derive from it, and (c) what the implications of this historical debate are for curriculum developers. First, by examining related literature, this paper reviews the evolution of debates from grassroots resistance to nationwide struggles. It examines the characteristics of this debate in light of three aspects: the educational, political, and anthropological domains. As a result, this paper suggests (a) to be careful of overconfidence in the hypothesis of the so-called “little scientists,” (b) to possibly regard MACOS as a representative case for re-contextualization of curriculum, (c) that it is in line with today’s debates around multiculturalism, and (d) to reappraise this curriculum in today’s context as different from its social standing in the 1970s.
