Are Low-Ability Students Mentally Represented as Low-SES, Academically Incapable, and Undeserving of Support?
Authors: Browman Alexander S. , Miele David
Published: August 2019

In seven studies, this research demonstrates that both the general public and educators may hold culturally-shared, class stereotype-laden mental representations that they reflexively use both to subjectively identify particular students as being high or low in academic ability, and determine who should receive educational support. Using procedures designed to capture people’s mental images of others, we first observed that both the general public and aspiring educators mentally represent low-ability students as qualitatively and quantitatively distinct from high- ability students. Furthermore, the representations of low (versus high) ability students captured from the public and aspiring educators were more likely to be associated with negative class-based academic stereotypes by separate samples of the public and educators, such that a student who “looks” low in ability was also more likely to be labeled as being low-SES, and having poorer academic motivation and work ethic. As a result, the low (versus high) ability student was more likely to be denied college admissions or scholarship support by members of the American public and to be exposed to unsupportive instructional practices by teachers. Implications for interventions and for our understanding of teacher biases are discussed.
Money for the marginalized: Promoting access to income benefits in Manitoba
Authors: Schachter Kevin
Published: August 2019

Low-income Manitobans are eligible for a variety of federal and provincial income support benefits that may help them meet their basic needs. However, many face barriers to completing the bureaucratic processes required to access these benefits. In response, nonprofit and public sector agencies have developed free benefit intermediary programs that support low-income community members to claim their benefits. Despite the growth of this field, there is a dearth of scholarly literature on programs that promote access to income benefits. This thesis contributes to filling this gap through a mixed-methods study of benefit intermediary programs operating in Winnipeg, MB. Using a realist evaluation methodology, this study examines contextual conditions that inhibit benefit take-up and the field of social programs that promote access to benefits. The evaluation considers the social-structural context, program goals and activities, and key program mechanisms that may account for the outcomes that ensue. Findings from semi-structured key informant interviews and a literature review demonstrate that benefit intermediary programs have dual objectives that correspond to two of Nancy Fraser’s strategies for achieving social justice. At the individual level, they employ a strategy of affirmative redistribution to assist low-income community members to claim benefits that increase their quality of life. At a structural level, they pursue nonreformist reforms to reduce systemic barriers that inhibit benefit take-up and build cross-sectoral capacity to promote access. However, these programs face constraints that limit the scope of their direct service delivery and the extent to which they can effect structural change. Nevertheless, benefit intermediaries play a vital role in promoting access to income benefits in Manitoba. This research may be useful for practitioners, policymakers, and social scientists who are interested in the problem of benefit non-take-up, or who are engaged in efforts to increase the take-up of money for the marginalized.

Abstract - The objective of this research is to examine the effect of fee based income on return on assets of listed banks in Indonesia stock exchange during 2006-2010.  Three types of  fee based income are investigated, namely income from provisions and commissions, income from  foreign exchange transaction services, and income from other bank services.  In addition, total asset is also included in the model as one of the independent variable. A sample of  24 banks is used in this study.  A multiple regression based on the ordinary least squared (OLS). The result shows that the three types of fee based income have a positive and significant effect on return on assets.  However, total assets do not have a significant effect.  Overall, the result suggests that banks should promote their fee based income activities in order to increase their profitability.
How Principals Facilitate Teachers’ Learning Under Accountability Systems
Authors: Lee Hyemi
Published: August 2019

Under the different states’ accountability contexts, it may be meaningful to find the relationship among the strength of their accountability policies, principals’ facilitation of teachers’ learning, and teachers’ participation in professional development programs. The analysis of two-level hierarchical linear modeling found that high school graduation exit exams negatively affected principals’ support of professional days before and during the school year, although the annual measurable objective strength and the proficiency performance standards may not have had any relationship with principals’ facilitating teacher learning. The findings of three-level hierarchical linear modeling showed that principals were an essential factor for teachers’ participation in professional development. The proficiency performance standards increased teachers’ spending time for content professional development programs, although annual measurable objectives strength decreased them. However, professional development programs related to instruction and classroom management were not influenced by states’ accountability systems.

Regional Regulation (Perda) is a regulation made by the Regional Head together with the DPRD that fulfills the elements of welfare and usefulness of a region. One of the Regional Regulations that has a strategic function is the Regional Regulation on Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW) because that is where land allocation is in accordance with the functions of the area regulated. However, the drafting of the RTRW Regional Regulation is not easy to differ from other local regulations because many interests must be considered and accommodated in its compilation including the drafting of the Riau Province RTRW Perda. After going through a very long process, the establishment of regional regulations was finally determined by The Governor of Riau, namely Regional Regulation Number 10 Year 2018 concerning the Riau Province Regional Spatial Plan with the following details: (1). Cultivation Area = 8,067,344 ha. (2). Protected area covering an area of ​​945,532 ha, with a total area of ​​9,012,886 ha. Although the Regional Regulation concerning the Riau Province RTRW has been established, there are still problems that must be resolved, namely concerning the emptying of areas that have become oil palm plantations in forest areas. This is not an easy job because it has to cut down oil palm trees with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of hectares. Based on Law Number 12 Year 2011 there is no difference between the Provincial RTRW Perda and other Perda or having the same position both in terms of position and formation procedures. Whereas in the process of establishing a Provincial Regional Spatial Planning Regulation involving many agencies and ministries, among others, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Ministry of National Development Planning/BAPPENAS, the Ministry of Agriculture and Spatial Planning and the Geospatial Information Agency.
IMPROVEMENT OF DEVICES FOR PRELIMINARY ELECTRIC HEATING OF CONCRETE MIXTURE
Authors: Anufriev M. O. , Titov M. M.
Published: August 2019

Purpose: The aim of this work is to create low-power and low-operational technology of electric heat treatment of concrete mixture and concrete. One of the most important tasks is the development of new approaches to the improvement of the concrete casting technology with the concrete mix heating during concrete placement. This requires elimination of the local overheating of the mixture and the rapid concreting of phase electrodes due to the development of the so-called edge effect. It occurs at the edges of electrodes, regardless of their shape. To realize the low-cost elimination of local overheating of the mixture and concreting of phase electrodes, it is necessary to study the behavior of the electric heat fields in the overheating zone.

Outcomes: Based on this research, the improved device for the electric heat treatment of concrete mixture is proposed and patented. The device is based on the electrical field grading in the concrete mixture using narrow plates on phase electrodes.

Research findings: The edge effect is based on the fundamental principle of the absence of the tangential component of charges on the electrode surface, that is, charges are in a mutually balanced state. This condition is provided by their accumulation on the edges of electrodes. The resulting non-uniformity of the electric field strength and current density lead to negative consequences. But this non-uniformity is manifested in the local area at the end of electrode and can be stopped at the electrode end by a narrow dielectric strip.

Published: August 2019

This article reviews research on informal digital English (IDLE) learning that has increased in the field of English language teaching to other language speakers and computer-assisted language learning written by Ju Seong Lee (2019), entitled Quantity and Diversity of informal digital learning of English published by Language Learning & Technology. This present paper uses descriptive qualitative analysis in an attempt to understand how the quantity and diversity of IDLE can make a unique contribution to the English language outcomes of EFL learners from the researcher's perspective. Lee uses hierarchical linear regression analysis to show that IDLE Quantity, Age, and Major are significant predictors of two affective variables (Confidence and Pleasure), while IDLE Diversity and Major significantly predict productive language outcomes (Speaking and Productive Vocabulary Knowledge), score in the standard English Test (TOEIC), and one affective variable (Lack of Anxiety). This present article aims to review and discuss the findings on the strengths and the weaknesses found in Lee’s 2019 article. The article Lee made seems to possess a clear flow on how to explain these two types of education and make this article easy to understand. Therefore, the replication of Lee’s research is easy enough for similar research purposes.

Published: August 2019

New data are presented concerning the age and relationships with the overlapping rocks of the Balkan massif of quartz diorites located in the central part of the Blyb metamorphic complex of the Fore Range of the Greater Caucasus in the Malaya Laba river basin. For the first time, using modern geochronological methods, it is shown that the Balkan massif has Precambrian age. An estimate of the age of the rocks of the Balkan massif using the SHRIMP II method for three U-Pb datings gives an interval of 549 ± 7,4-574,1 ± 6,7 Ma. A new interpretation of the structure of the basement of the Fore Range is suggested, according to which the rocks of the Late Vendian basement are exposed in a tectonic window and overlapped by the Middle Paleozoic metamorphic rocks of the Armovka nappe, first identified by the combination of geological features. The lower boundary of the nappe is characterized by a sharp change in composition and a change in the orientation of planar structures. On the border with the Armovka nappe there is a thick blastomilonite pack.

Published: August 2019

Background:

Greater body weight has been associated impairments in neurocognition and greater dementia risk, although the mechanisms linking weight and neurocognition have yet to be adequately delineated.

Objective:

To examine metabolic mechanisms underlying the association between obesity and neurocognition.

Methods:

We conducted a secondary analysis of weight, neurocognition, and the potentially mediating role of metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers among 160 participants from the ENLIGHTEN trial of vascular cognitive impairment, no dementia (CIND). Neurocognition was assessed using a 45-minute assessment battery assessing Executive Function, Verbal and Visual Memory. We considered three metabolic biomarkers: insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment [HOMA-IR]), plasma leptin, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Inflammation was assessed using C-reactive protein. Multiple regression analyses were used.

Results:

Participants included 160 sedentary older adults with CIND. Participants tended to be overweight or obese (mean BMI = 32.5 [SD = 4.8]). Women exhibited higher BMI ( p = 0.043), CRP ( p < 0.001), and leptin ( p < 0.001) compared with men. Higher BMI levels were associated with worse performance on measures of Executive Function (β= –0.16, p = 0.024) and Verbal Memory (β= –0.16, p = 0.030), but not Visual Memory (β= 0.05, p = 0.500). Worse metabolic biomarker profiles also were associated with lower Executive Function (β= –0.12, p = 0.050). Mediation analyses suggested leptin was a plausible candidate as a mediator between BMI and Executive Function.

Conclusions:

In overweight and obese adults with vascular CIND, the association between greater weight and poorer executive function may be mediated by higher leptin resistance.
Characterizing the convective heat exchange with plastic shading nets under natural arid conditions
Authors: M Abdel-Ghanya Ahmed , M Al-Helal Ibrahim
Published: August 2019

Plastic nets are extensively used for shading purposes in arid regions such as in the Arabian Peninsula. Quantifying the convection exchange with shading net and understanding the mechanisms (free, mixed and forced) of convection are essential for analyzing energy exchange with shading nets. Unlike solar and thermal radiation, the convective energy, convective heat transfer coefficient and the nature of convection have never been theoretically estimated or experimentally measured for plastic nets under arid conditions. In this study, the convected heat exchanges with different plastic nets were quantified based on an energy balance applied to the nets under outdoor natural conditions. Therefore, each net was tacked onto a wooden frame, fixed horizontally at 1.5-m height over the floor. The downward and upward solar and thermal radiation fluxes were measured below and above each net on sunny days; also the wind speed over the net, and the net and air temperatures were measured, simultaneously. Nets with different porosities, colors and texture structures were used for the study. The short and long wave’s radiative properties of the nets were pre-determined in previous studies to be used. Re and Gr numbers were determined and used to characterize the convection mechanism over each net. The results showed that forced and mixed convection are the dominant modes existing over the nets during most of the day and night times. The nature of convection over nets depends mainly on the wind speed, net-air temperature difference and texture shape of the net rather than its color and its porosity.

Published: August 2019

The incident rates for LBW at term conservatively estimate IUGR because when all infants below the 10the percentile of the birth-weight-for-gestational-age reference are considered, approximately 24% or 30 million newborn in developing countries would be affected each year. Prematurity and IUGR are the two main cause of LBW. The majority of LBW in developing countries is due to IUGR, while most LBW in industrialized countries is due to preterm birth. The   study   was conducted on five hundred and fifty newborns of either sex.  The newborns were taken from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Department of Pediatrics and those present in the post-natal and post-operative ward of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, S.N. Medical College and Hospital. Neonatal and infant mortality rates are the sensitive indicators of child health. NMR of 37 for India and 44 per 1000 live births for UP is alarmingly high as compared to the other parts of the world. Of these neonatal deaths nearly 2/3 die within 1st weak itself. LBW and prematurity contribute to a significant proportion of the cause.

Bearing is one part of the machine element that plays an important role. The function of the bearing is to support a shaft so that the shaft can rotate without excessive friction. Research was done to find out the value of vibration in a critical rotation test tool to determine the extent to which a rotating axle with a certain speed of the axis rotation. This test used a critical rotation test
apparatus on a bar of carbon iron with diameter size D = 25.4 mm with L = 764 mm by using coupling. From experiments used rotation of 200 to 1000 rpm, the first experiment using 1000 rpm obtained a result of vertical axis obtained 9.5 mm/s with new bearing testing was performed using 5 variations ie new bearings, abrasion, corrosion, without lubrication, clutch that is not straight. The second experiment using a abrasion bearing of 1000 rpm resulted from a vertical axis 7 mm/s. The third experiment using corrosion bearing with 1000 rpm rotation resulted from a vertical axis of 3.4 mm / s. The fourth experiment using a lubrication bearing with rpm 1000 obtained the result of a vertical axis 9.6 mm / s. The fifth experiment using a non-straight coupling yielded 14.1 mm/s. The greater the bearing rotation value leads to a large twisting angle so that it impacts most semantic vibration values on the bearing.

The export demand for Electoric Control Unit (ECU) products, which continued to increase by approximately 25% in December 2014, made the company have to review its production capacity. Based on current production capacity data, it is known that the process cycle time is 64.9 seconds while the takt time needed to meet consumer demand is 39.4 seconds for the first production line. With working time included in working hours overtime, this first-line capacity cannot meet production demands. Work measurement is done to get actual time data for capacity calculation. Man machine chart is one of the tools used to determine the production line capacity with the current number of machines and workers. To be able to fulfill the production demand, a capacity design with 2 proposed improvements is carried out, namely: adding a working time of one shift for the first production line or balancing work time between lines. By calculating the results obtained and the costs incurred, the proposal for balancing work time between lines becomes more effective to do.

Published: August 2019

Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were collected along the principal phytogeographic gradient, from the semiarid steppe in the northeast to the evergreen rain forests in the southwest, in Tierra del Fuego and southern Patagonia, South America. Altogether 2143 carabids belonging to 28 taxa were found. The three most abundant species were Migaclops latus (30%), Abropus carnifex (19%) and Cascellius gravesii (14%). The phytogeographical gradient was divided into five habitat types, ranging from steppe and woodlancl to evergreen forests. The abundances of the dominant carabid species varied among the habitat types. Metius species were most numerous in the steppe and open woodland, and Trechisibus spp. and M. latus in Nothofagus beech forests. A. carnifex Antarctonomus complanatus, Antarctonomus complanatus and Ceroglossus suturalis were associated with evergreen forests. C. gravesii was fairly evenly distributed among the forests, but was not found in the steppe. A historical overview of entomological research in Tiena del Fuego is presented and the transatlantic and bipolar distribution ofthe Fuegian carabid fauna is discussed.
