Authors: Shen Jinqing , Li Zhongxiao , Zhuang Xiaodong
Published: August 2021

Data dimension reduction is an important method to overcome dimension disaster and obtain as much valuable information as possible. Speech signal is a kind of non-stationary random signal with high redundancy, and proper dimension reduction methods are needed to extract and analyze the signal features efficiently in speech signal processing. Studies have shown that manifold structure exists in high-dimensional data. Manifold dimension reduction method aiming at discovering the intrinsic geometric structure of data may be more effective in dealing with practical problems. This paper studies a data dimension reduction method based on manifold learning and applies it to the analysis of vowel signals.

Authors: Goswami Sivaranjan , Sarma Kandarpa Kumar , Sarmah Kumaresh
Published: August 2021

Synthesis of sparse arrays is a promising area of research for a wide range of applications including radar and millimeter-wave wireless communication. The design goal of array thinning problems is to reduce the number of elements of an array without significantly affecting its performance. This work presents a technique for synthesizing a sparse phased-array antenna from a 16×16 uniform rectangular array (URA). The proposed approach reduces the number of elements by 50% without any significant increase in the peak sidelobe level (PSLL) for all possible scan angles in the azimuthal and elevation plans within a finite range of scan angles. The synthesis includes an artificial neural network (ANN) model for estimation of the excitation weights of the URA for a given scan-angle. The weights of the sparse array are computed by the Hadamard product of the weight matrix of the URA with a binary matrix that is obtained using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to minimize the PSLL.

Authors: Chang Ray-I , Chu Yu-Hsien , Wang Chia-Hui , Huang Niang-Ying
Published: August 2021

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) contain many sensor nodes which are placed in chosen spatial area to temporally monitor the environmental changes. As the sensor data is big, it should be well organized and stored in cloud servers to support efficient data query. In this paper, we first adopt the streamed sensor data as "data cubes" to enhance data compression by video-like lossless compression (VLLC). With layered tree structure of WSNs, compression can be done on the aggregation nodes of edge computing. Then, an algorithm is designed to well organize and store these VLLC data cubes into cloud servers to support cost-effect big data query with parallel processing. Our experiments are tested by real-world sensor data. Results show that our method can save 94% construction time and 79% storage space to achieve the same retrieval time in data query when compared with a well-known database MySQL

Further research is recommended into how schools are rethinking reporting to engage students and parents in monitoring learning growth.
Interpreting learning progress using assessment scores: what is there to gain?
Authors: Zoanetti Nathan
Published: August 2021

Using assessment scores to quantify gains and growth trajectories for individuals and groups can provide a valuable lens on learning progress for all students. This paper summarises some commonly observed patterns of progress and illustrates these using data from ACER’s Progressive Achievement Test (PAT) assessments. While growth trajectory measurement requires scores for the same individuals over at least three but preferably more occasions, scores from only two occasions are naturally more readily available. The difference between two successive scores is usually referred to as gain. Some common approaches and pitfalls when interpreting individual student gain data are illustrated. It is concluded that pairs of consecutive scores are best considered as part of a longer-term trajectory of learning progress, and that caveated gain information might at best play a peripheral role until additional scores are available for individuals. This review is part of a larger program of research to inform future reporting developments at ACER.
This time without ‘feeling’: Children’s intuitive theories of art as a logical basis for learning progression in visual arts
Authors: Maras Karen
Published: August 2021

Learning in Visual Arts has traditionally been framed as an experiential process in which feeling and intuition complement the development of aesthetic knowledge. However, while art can be about feelings and processes that develop students’ expressive capacities, the complexity of art understanding and thinking extends beyond this narrow common-sense assumption. I argue that this assumption, which is represented in the Australian Curriculum: The Arts (ACARA, 2015), and even more firmly resonates in recent proposals for the revision of this curriculum (ACARA, 2021), obfuscates the conceptual and theoretical bases on which students make progress in art understanding. This paper examines the proposition that art understanding emerges progressively and can be described in conceptual terms, the basis of which can be identified in empirical research on the emergence of children’s intuitive theories of art. This paper examines how selected studies articulate the cognitive grounds on which students’ ontologies of art and epistemological beliefs are represented in their reasoning about art over time. It is argued that an empirically supported conception of learning anchored in students’ cognitive development in art that recognises the theoretical commitments underscoring their conceptual and practical reasoning in visual arts practices K–12 provides a logical basis for articulating progression in the subject.
Learning progressions as models and tools for supporting classroom assessment
Authors: Alonzo Alice
Published: August 2021

Like all models, learning progressions (LPs) provide simplified representations of complex phenomena. One key simplification is the characterisation of student thinking in terms of levels. This characterisation is both essential for large-scale applications, such as informing standards, but potentially problematic for smaller-scale applications. In this paper, I describe a program of research designed to explore the smaller-scale use of LPs as supports for teacher classroom assessment practices in light of this simplification. Based on this research, I conclude that LP levels may serve as a generative heuristic, particularly when teachers are engaged with evidence of the limitations of LP levels and supported to use LPs in ways that do not rely on their levels.
Keynote: Accountable assessment
Authors: Lehrer Richard
Published: August 2021

There is widespread agreement about the importance of accounting for the extent to which educational systems advance student learning. Yet, the forms and formats of accountable assessments often ill serve students and teachers; the summative judgements of student performance that are typically employed to indicate proficiencies on benchmarks of student learning commonly fail to capture student performance in ways that are specific and actionable for teachers. Timing is another key barrier to the utility of summative assessment. In the US, summative evaluations occur at the end of the school year and may serve future students, but do not help teachers better support the students who were tested. In contrast, formative assessments provide actionable grounds to improve the quality of instruction on the basis of both the granularity and specificity of their content and their timing. Unfortunately, the psychometric qualities of formative assessments are often unknown. I describe an innovative approach to assessment that aims to blend the productive characteristics of both summative and formative assessment. The resulting assessment system is accountable to students and teachers by providing actionable information for improving classroom instruction, and at the same time, it addresses the demands of psychometric quality for purposes of system accountability as it is currently practiced (in the US). The innovative assessment system relies on partnership with teachers to generate (1) a shared conceptual frame for describing instructional goals and valued forms of teaching and learning; (2) a set of electronic tools to help teachers detect, share, analyse, and interpret student learning data; and (3) classroom and school-level community professional development structures to support and sustain a widespread practice of assessing to guide instruction. These features are coupled with new psychometric models, developed by the Berkeley Evaluation and Research Center, that provide more robust estimates of student learning by linking information from multiple sources, including student classroom work, student responses to formative assessments, and summative evaluations. (Mark Wilson will address the psychometric modeling during this conference.) Here I describe challenges and prospects for this innovation with a case study of its implementation in a K–5 elementary school that is seeking to improve the quality of instruction and students’ understandings of measure and rational number arithmetic.

Published: August 2021

Catholic priest and chairman of the Czechoslovak People’s Party, and supreme functionary of the Board of pro-regime organisations (e.g. long-term vice-chairman of the Association of Czechoslovak Soviet Friendship), Josef Plojhar, was a distinctive figure in the political world of Communist Czechoslovakia during the first twenty years of its existence. He was one of the historically longest serving ministers of health and spent an unbelievable twenty years and one month in this position. He survived a number of political upheavals and purges within the terms of post-February Czechoslovakia. All this makes him an indisputably interesting figure, who has been neglected by previous historic research. This study is about the end of the climactic political career of this Catholic priest and chairman of the Czechoslovak People’s Party, who was Minister of Health from 1948 to 1968. His political downfall came about in connection with the Prague Spring in 1968.

Analyzing the achievements and results of the past period, we can see that cooperation between the Central Asian states is entering a new stage at a time when multilateral cooperation around the world is in crisis and mutual trust is declining. In a historically short period, unprecedented progress has been made in relations between Central Asian states. Most importantly, important and mutually beneficial agreements have been reached on the use of borders and water resources, which were previously an obstacle to the development of regional cooperation. At the initiative of our President, new mechanisms of cooperation have been established. Examples of this are the Consultative Meetings of Central Asian Heads of State, the establishment of inter-parliamentary groups, the Council for Cooperation in Border Regions, ministerial and interdepartmental commissions, and investment funds.

Published: August 2021

Aim:to study the state of lipid metabolism, hemostasis, inflammatory reaction and the potential for their correction after indirect revascularization in patients with distal steno-occlusion of arteries and critical ischemia of lower extremities (critical ILE).

Material and methods.Changes in hemostasis and dynamics of its parameters during the complex surgical treatment in 131 patients with critical ILE and distal arterial stenoocclusion were analyzed. To achieve the targeted goals, patients were divided into the following groups: 34 patients had traditional care (control group); 32 patients had intravenous laser blood irradiation in combination with standard therapy (Group I); 32 patients had cytokine therapy with roncoleukin in combination with standard therapy (Group II); 33 patients had intravenous laser blood irradiation combined with cytokine therapy and standard therapy (Group III). Parameters of lipid metabolism were studied in dynamics (total cholesterol, very low density lipoproteins, high density lipoproteins, triglycerides); products of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehydes, conjugates, superoxide dismutase); inflammatory mediators (C-reactive protein, sialic acids, seromucoids, fibrinogen A, circulating immune complexes); hemostatic parameters (fibrinogen, fibrinolytic activity, fibrin degradation products, antithrombin III activity). Hemostatic indices were compared with identical parameters of 48 apparently healthy individuals (reference group).

Results.On admission, patients with critical ILE and distal wall occlusion had sharp changes in their lipid metabolism, inflammatory reaction, and hemostasis. Conclusion. The inclusion of intravenous laser blood irradiation and cytokine therapy separately and in combination in a set of therapeutic measures led to the leveling of the studied homeostasis indicators. The best results were obtained in the group where patients had combined perioperative intravenous laser blood irradiation with cytokine therapy in indirect revascularization.

Published: August 2021

Actuality. Tracheal cancer is a rare disease which amounts up to 0.2% of the total number of cancers. Currently, there is an increase in the number of patients with impaired tracheal patency. Endoscopic procedures are most commonly used to restore and maintain the tracheal lumen. The key treatment for primary cancer is a surgical one; however, due to late diagnostics, the tumor is often inoperable. Chemotherapy for tracheal cancer is ineffective, and practically is not used. At present, endoscopic tracheal recanalization with laser vaporization is a method of choice in patients with inoperable tracheal tumors.

Objective: to improve outcomes in patients with inoperable primary tracheal cancer using Nd-YAG laser either as the fi rst component of staged treatment strategy, or as the fi nal volume treatment.

Methods. Patient K., 75 years old, was admitted to the hospital with complaints of dyspnea at rest, weakness and hemoptysis. As anamnesis showed, the patient had noticed a deterioration in her breathing during the last 6 months. CT scan revealed a volumetric formation (tumor) of the cervicothoracic trachea (8.0 cm above the bifurcation) with 90% stenosing in the lumen. When performing tracheobronchoscopy in the cervicothoracic trachea, a broad-based lumpy tumor, 5 cm long, stenosing the tracheal lumen by 2/3 was found on the posterior wall. Morphological examination of biopsy material revealed adenocystic carcinoma.

Results. The performed endoscopic examination with neodymium YAG laser recanalization demonstrated the advantage of this technique in patients with inoperable tracheal tumors.

Conclusion. Endoscopic recanalization of the trachea with neodymium YAG laser has been proven to be effective in patients with inoperable tracheal cancer. It improves their quality of life as well.

The medical klebsiellosis bacteriophage, manufactured industrially, was taken as the study object. Klebsiella pneumonia N 296, sensitive to the selected phage, was used as a test-culture. An experimental device manufactured by LTD «New surgical technologies» was used as a source of light. Semiconductor diodes generate light with wavelength 1270 nm (1268–1272 nm) in the continuous mode. The number of viable phage particles in the initial solution of klebsiellosis bacteriophage was 5×108. Irradiation of the phage with 1270 nm laser light decreased the number of viable phage particles to 105. Results did not practically depend on the exposure time, i. e. phage titers were equally reduced when exposed to laser light for 5 min, 10 min and 15 min. Irradiation of Klebsiella bacteriophage with 1270 nm laser light reduced the number of viable phage particles by 3 log orders (initial titer was 108; after irradiation – 105 negative phage colonies). It is indicative of their damage. Mechanisms of phage particle damage should be the object of further research so as to defi ne if laser irradiation with the above mentioned wavelengths can be used in medical practice.

Published: August 2021

O estudo investiga as desigualdades interseccionais no ensino fundamental brasileiro em 2017, comparando com as de 1997. Para tanto, utiliza os indicadores para o ensino fundamental da meta 4.1 dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), a saber: as taxas de conclusão do ensino fundamental e o percentual de alunos que atingiram o nível de desempenho considerado satisfatório nas provas de leitura e matemática do Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (Saeb) de 1997 e 2017. A interseccionalidade das categorias de sexo, raça e faixa de renda familiar per capita, Grandes Regiões e
localização de domicílio revelou-se signifi cativa para explicar as desigualdades nas taxas de conclusão do ensino fundamental nos anos iniciais (1997) e nos anos fi nais (1997 e 2017), demonstrando a importância de não pensar as desigualdades educacionais de maneira estanque. As imbricações das categorias de sexo, raça e Grandes Regiões brasileiras e de sexo, Grandes Regiões e localização do domicílio foram signifi cativas na compreensão das desigualdades de desempenho dos alunos ao fi nal de ambos os ciclos do ensino fundamental em 1997 e 2017. Ao lançar luz sobre as desigualdades interseccionais no ensino fundamental, os resultados desta pesquisa contribuem para o acompanhamento da meta 4.5 do ODS, que visa à superação das desigualdades educacionais.

Pullulan is the generic name given to waterÃ¢â‚¬Âsoluble homopolysaccharide thatis produced extracellularly by the polymorphic micromycete Aureobasidiumpullulans. It is a linear αÃ¢â‚¬ÂdÃ¢â‚¬Âglucan, made mainly of maltotriose repeatingunits interconnected by α (1→6) linkages. The present study was carried outto isolate effective pullulan producing strains of A. pullulans from plantleaves collected from a village named Iruvaram in Chittoor district (AndhraPradesh). Two strains of A. pullulans were isolated, out of which SSW strainwas isolated from the leaves of Ficus benghalensis and SSP strain was isolatedfrom the leaves of Mangifera indica. The strains isolated proved that A.pullulans is a ubiquitous fungus and phylloplane being the important habitatof the organism. The colour variant pullulan–hyper producing strain SSWshowed colourless colonies in the production medium and produced pinkcolour pigment in the production broth. The optimization of the medium forpullulan production in SSW strain considering different carbon sources, nitrogensources, temperature and pH was carried out in the study. The confirmationand purification of exopolysaccharide was performed by thin layerchromatography using pullulan from Sigma, U.S.A as standard.

Evaluation of different doses of Achook (1500 ppm azadirachtin EC) against Meloidogyne incognita (RKNâ€Mi) infecting okra (Abelmoschus esculentus Moench.) was undertaken under net house and openâ€field conditions. Results of pot (10cm dia) experiment showed that soil drenching of Achook and Achook A1 (contains sesame oil) at higher dosage (≥10litre/ha) showed reduced root galling, greater suppression of final soil nematode (J2) population and increased shoot height of okra. The single drenching of Achook andAchook A1 at 5 litre/ha at 15 days after sowing (DAS) immediately after appearance of first gall was also quite effective for managing the RKNâ€Mi on okra. Results from openâ€field testing of Achook EC showed efficacy to control RKNâ€Mi. The Achook and Achook A1 formulations at 5 litre/ha as single application after with the appearance of first gall was found to be most effective for reduction of root galling, soil nematode population (63 to 67%), increasing shoot height and improving (20 to 23%) fruit yield of okra. Further, at all dosages both formulations showed nematode control efficacy and enhancement of crop yield. The Achook A1 was found to be more effective (38%more yield) than soil application of carbofuran 2kg a.i./ha and neem cake at 1000kg/ha. Considering incremental cost benefit ratio (ICBR), the Achook (ICBR~4.23) and Achook1 (ICBR~4.03) at 5 litre/ha as a single soil drench with the appearance of root galling in okra was found to be the most economical. This was followed by Achook1 at 2.5 litre /ha as soil drench twice (7 DAS and 30 days after first drench) and Achook A1 5litre and 10litre/ha. The Achook A1 was found to be relatively more effective than that of carbofuran at 2kg a.i./ha and neem cake at 1000kg/ha.
