Weighted combinatorial Ricci flow and metrics defined by degenerate circle packings
Authors: Popelensky Theodore
Published: May 2024

Chow and Luo [1] in 2003 had shown that the combinatorial analogue of the
Hamilton Ricci flow on surfaces under certain conditions converges to
Thruston?s circle packing metric of constant curvature. The combinatorial
setting includes weights defined for edges of a triangulation. Crucial
assumption in the paper [1] was that the weights are nonnegative. Recently
we have shown that same statement on convergence can be proved under weaker
condition: some weights can be negative and should satisfy certain
inequalities, [3]. Moreover, in [6] notions of degenerate circle packing and
corresponding metric were introduced. In [6] theory of combinatorial Ricci
flow for such metrics was developed, which includes Chow-Luo theory as a
partial case for nondegenerate circle packing and nonnegative weights on
edges. On the other hand, in [2] the combinatorial Yamabe flow was
introduced and investigated. In [7, 8] we developed weighted modification of
Yamabe flow. In this paper we merge ideas from these two theories and
introduce weighted combinatorial Ricci flow on metrics defined by degenerate
circle packings. We prove that under certain conditions for any initial
metric the flow converges to a unique metric of constant curvature.

Authors: Bejan Cornelia-Livia , Nakova Galia
Published: May 2024

This study is devoted to a submanifold M of codimension 2 of an almost
paracontact metric manifold M, for which the Reeb vector field of the
ambient manifold is normal. Some sufficient conditions for the existence of
M are given. When M is paracosymplectic, then some necessary and sufficient
conditions are established for M to fall in one of the following classes of
almost paracontact metric manifolds according to the classification given by
S. Zamkovoy and G. Nakova: normal, paracontact metric, para-Sasakian,
K-paracontact, quasi-para-Sasakian, respectively. When in addition, M is
para-Sasakian and M is paracosymplectic, some characterization results are
obtained for M to be totally umbilical, as well as a nonexistence result for
M to be totally geodesic is provided. The case when M is of a constant
sectional curvature is analysed and an example is constructed.

The social sciences are essential for students to function in society. Therefore, a proficiency assessment is necessary to check their acquisition of competency. This research aims to assess the level of student proficiency and challenges in Social Science Disciplines and Ideas (DISS) in private high schools. Additionally, this study investigated differences in their proficiency levels compared to gender and grades. This type of research is quantitative research. This research uses a quantitative research design, specifically a descriptive-comparative approach. The respondents for this research were 144 students who were determined using stratified random sampling. Data analysis techniques use inferential statistics. The results of this research are that students show a developing level of proficiency in DISS, which indicates that these competencies have not been fully mastered. In comparison, there were differences when grouped by gender and level, with women and those scoring 90-100 scoring higher than their peers. Meanwhile, the challenges faced by students in studying DISS are related to teachers, students, student environment, resources, facilities and subject factors. Considering the results, the anchored theory was validated. Therefore, continuous improvement is encouraged to implement content, strategies, and assessments in DISS to develop students' level of proficiency in the course.

This research is motivated by the fact that many students still need to be more disciplined in obeying the rules. This research aims to analyze the influence of parenting patterns on student learning outcomes, the influence of disciplinary behavior on student learning outcomes, and the influence of parental parenting and corrective behavior on student learning outcomes. This research is quantitative research with a correlational type. The population in this study was all students, totaling 74 students. The sample in this study used the entire population. The data collection methods used are questionnaires and documentation. The data collection instrument uses a questionnaire sheet. Data analysis techniques use validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination. The results of data analysis show that, first, parental parenting influences student learning outcomes. Second, there is no influence of disciplinary behavior on student learning outcomes partially. Third, there is a simultaneous influence of parental parenting and corrective behavior on learning outcomes. It is concluded that good parenting and corrective behavior can improve the learning outcomes of elementary school students.

At the junior high school level, there are still very few standardized tests of logical thinking abilities that can be used to measure students' logical thinking abilities. This research aims to analyze the validity of items and the effect of spurious overlap (ESO) unidimensionally and multidimensionally (a study of the effect of spurious overlap on tests of logical thinking abilities. This research is a type of instrument calibration research. The population of this research is all students of class VIII at junior high school, with the sample in the form of answers from 100 students’ selected using purposive sampling. Data collection method using tests. The results of data analysis obtained findings from testing the validity of unidimensional logical thinking ability test items before being corrected for the spurious overlap effect; 49 items were suitable for use as part of the test, and testing the validity of the multidimensional logical thinking ability test items before being corrected for the spurious overlap effect, 49 items are suitable for use as test constructors, in the unidimensional test of item validity after being corrected for the spurious overlap effect, 47 items are suitable for use as test constructors; and testing the validity of the multidimensional logical thinking ability test items before being corrected for the spurious overlap effect, 45 items are suitable to be used as test components, and the unidimensional ESO coefficient is smaller when compared to the multidimensional ESO coefficient of the items that make up the logical thinking ability test.

The multiple-choice test is familiar to Foreign English Language Learners (EFL) and is able to measure students' HOTS especially in Indonesia. Although it has a number of limitations, multiple choice is widely used because it is able to measure learning outcomes from the simple to the complex. The aim of this study was to analyze the students' ability to answer Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-oriented questions in a multiple-choice form. In collecting data, the researchers used a narrative reading test of questions that had been carefully developed by the English teacher with a focus on the top three HOTS domains (e.g., analyzing, evaluating, and creating) and interviews with two students who were taken from upper and lower group. his study employed descriptive qualitative method. Moreover, the data obtained were sorted verified, analyzed, interpreted, drawn conclusions, and presented descriptively-qualitatively. The findings of this study indicated that there was not a single student in the excellent category (0%), 11 students in the good category (37%), 3 students in the fair category (10%), 6 students in the poor category (20%), and 10 students in the very poor category (33%). In addition, based on analysis of students’ answer errors, it was known that the percentage of students’ answer errors on the HOTS-oriented questions was analyzing 25%, evaluating 39%, and creating 36%. This indicated that some ninth-grade students at MTs Satu Atap Tangerang who have not been able to answer the HOTS oriented questions correctly.
