Authors: Papadopoulos Ioannis , Diakidou Aikaterini
Published: October 2020

In this paper we follow three Grade 6 students trying to solve (at first individually, and then in a group) arithmetical and geometrical problems. The focus of the study is to identify and compare the various types of control actions taken during individual and collaborative problem-solving to show how the collective work enhances the range of the available control actions. At the same time the analysis of the findings give evidence about the impact of the collaborative problemsolving on the way the students can benefit in terms of aspects of social metacognition.
Problem solving teaching with hearing and hearing-impaired students
Authors: Szűcs Kinga
Published: October 2020

In the last decade the concept of inclusion has become more and more prevalent in mathematics education, especially in Germany. Accordingly, teachers in mathematics classrooms have to face a wide range of heterogeneity, which includes physical, sensory and mental disabilities. At the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena, within the framework of the project “Media in mathematics education” it is examined how new technologies can support teaching in inclusive mathematics classrooms. In the academic year 2017/18, the heterogeneity regarding hearing impairment was mainly focussed on. Based on a small case study with hearing and hearing-impaired students a problem-solving unit about tangent lines was worked out according to Pólya, which is presented in the paper.

Incompleteness Matters Not: Inference of H0 from Binary Black Hole–Galaxy Cross-correlations
Authors: Bera Sayantani , Rana Divya , More Surhud , Bose Sukanta
Published: October 2020

We show how the angular clustering between gravitational-wave (GW) standard sirens and galaxies with known redshifts allows an inference of the Hubble constant regardless of whether the host galaxies of any of these sirens are present in the galaxy catalog. We demonstrate this for the first time with realistic simulations of GW signals from binary black holes in a three-detector network with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo sensitivities. We show that with such a network, the cross-correlation technique can be used to infer the Hubble parameter with a precision of less than 10% (2%) at 90% confidence with 50 (500) sources, even with a 100% incomplete catalog, which does not contain the hosts of any of the GW events. We compare our method with the current state-of-the-art techniques used for the inference of the Hubble parameter from real data. We argue that, if the clustering information is not used explicitly, the inference of H
0 from real data is expected to be prior-dominated.

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) has systematically identified 81 high-redshift, strongly gravitationally lensed, dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) in a 2500 square degree cosmological millimeter-wave survey. We present the final spectroscopic redshift survey of this flux-limited (S
870 μm > 25 mJy) sample, initially selected at 1.4 mm. The redshift survey was conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array across the 3 mm spectral window, targeting carbon monoxide line emission. By combining these measurements with ancillary data, the SPT sample is now spectroscopically complete, with redshifts spanning 1.9 < z < 6.9 and a median of

. We present the millimeter through far-infrared photometry and spectral energy density fits for all sources, along with their inferred intrinsic properties. Comparing the properties of the SPT sources to the unlensed DSFG population, we demonstrate that the SPT-selected DSFGs represent the most extreme infrared-luminous galaxies, even after accounting for strong gravitational lensing. The SPT sources have a median star formation rate of

and a median dust mass of

. However, the inferred gas depletion timescales of the SPT sources are comparable to those of unlensed DSFGs, once redshift is taken into account. This SPT sample contains roughly half of the known spectroscopically confirmed DSFGs at z > 5, making this the largest sample of high-redshift DSFGs to date, and enabling the “high-redshift tail” of extremely luminous DSFGs to be measured. Though galaxy formation models struggle to account for the SPT redshift distribution, the larger sample statistics from this complete and well-defined survey will help inform future theoretical efforts.
Characteristic Mass in Galaxy Quenching: Environmental versus Internal Effects

Published: October 2020

A clear transition feature of galaxy quenching is identified in the multi-parameter space of stellar mass (M
*), bulge-to-total mass ratio (B/T
m), halo mass (M
h) and halo-centric distance (r/r
180). For a given halo mass, the characteristic stellar mass (

) for the transition is about one-fifth of that of the corresponding central galaxy, and almost independent of B/T
m. Once B/T
m is fixed, the quenched fraction of galaxies with

increases with M
h, but decreases with M
* in the inner part of halos (r/r
180 < 0.5). In the outer part (r/r
180 > 0.5), the trend with M
h remains but the correlation with M
* is absent or becomes positive. For galaxies above

and with B/T
m fixed, the quenched fraction increases with

, but depends only weakly on M
h in both the inner and outer regions. At fixed B/T
m and M
*, the quenched fraction increases with decreasing r/r
180 for galaxies with

. Environmental quenching is important for “lower class” galaxies, while internal quenching plays the dominating role for the “upper class.”
Role of Interpersonal Communication in Adoption of Elective Caesarean Section
Authors: Otieno Denish Ouko , Akwala Alfred
Published: October 2020

This study focused on how interpersonal communication among married couples in urban areas promotes preference of elective caesarean section birth surgery. Elective c-section is the birth surgery requested by the mother for non-medical reasons before she goes into labour. Although it can save lives, elective c-section is often performed without medical need putting women and their babies at risk of short- and long-term health problems. C-section can cause significant and sometimes permanent complications, disability, or death, particularly in settings that lack the facilities and/or capacity to properly conduct safe surgery and treat surgical complications. However, in Kenya, despite the complications it may cause, more women are reported to undergo elective caesarean section birth surgery. The study found out that interpersonal communication was effective in influencing women to go for elective c-section more so among couples who share the belief that normal birth permanently changes experience of sexual intercourse among couples. The study adopted qualitative research approach.
Dipo and the Adolescent Krobo Girl
Authors: Kutufam Doreen Vivian
Published: October 2020

Contemporary Christian/secular/social trends and beliefs about religion, the rights of women, and the privacy of their bodies have been used to challenge the Dangme people of Ghana's continued adherence to the Dipo puberty rite. Without judging the Dipo rite but focusing on its intended value systems, this research argues that contemporary societal problems can harness the beneficial qualities of various traditional rituals to help solve specific societal issues. This chapter sets out to explore how the value systems of a contested puberty rite like the Dangme people's Dipo can help address sexual health issues prevalent in the Dangme communities. This chapter discusses how repurposing of Dipo's existing educational platform and value systems can contribute to the eradication or reduction of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic among members of the Dangme tribes.

Big Data and Cloud Computing
Authors: França Reinaldo Padilha , Iano Yuzo , Monteiro Ana Carolina Borges , Arthur Rangel
Published: October 2020

Big data is the analysis and interpretation of large volumes of data of great variety. This requires big data-specific solutions that enable IT professionals to work with unstructured information at a great speed. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources over the internet with a price set according to usage. The relationship between cloud and big data is narrow, where the first is the infrastructure that, in a corporate environment, supports the second, which has enough capacity to process data in large numbers. The connection between these concepts is due to the fact that, in order to deal with big data, an infrastructure is needed that allows the storage, processing, and retrieval of the most varied types of data on a large scale, that is, it has a constant growth. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an updated review of big data and cloud computing, showing and approaching its success relation with a concise bibliographic background, categorizing and synthesizing the potential of both technologies.
Deep Learning for Social Media Text Analytics
Authors: R. Anto Arockia Rosaline , R. Parvathi
Published: October 2020

Text analytics is the process of extracting high quality information from the text. A set of statistical, linguistic, and machine learning techniques are used to represent the information content from various textual sources such as data analysis, research, or investigation. Text is the common way of communication in social media. The understanding of text includes a variety of tasks including text classification, slang, and other languages. Traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques require extensive pre-processing techniques to handle the text. When a word “Amazon” occurs in the social media text, there should be a meaningful approach to find out whether it is referring to forest or Kindle. Most of the time, the NLP techniques fail in handling the slang and spellings correctly. Messages in Twitter are so short such that it is difficult to build semantic connections between them. Some messages such as “Gud nite” actually do not contain any real words but are still used for communication.

Los agricultores de caña en Puerto Rico han estado creyendo que la variedad B. 34-104, a pesar de ser susceptible al mosaico, puede producir mayor cantidad de azúcar que cualquiera de las variedades comerciales corrientes cultivadas en la Isla y que también hasta puede sanar de la enfermedad. En investigaciones preliminares llevadas a cabo por miembros del personal técnico de la Estación Experimental se observó que esta creencia no está justificada. Al efecto, se llevó a cabo un experimento controlado, del cual se derivaron las conclusiones siguientes: 1. Una vez que las cañas de la variedad B. 34-104 adquieren la infección con el mosaico común prevaleciente en la Isla no vuelven a recobrar de la enfermedad; además, cañas enfermas usadas como semilla producen plantas enfermas. 2. Se obtuvieron diferencias en tonelaje de 29 porciento en plantilla y de 32 porciento en retoño entre la variedad sana y la enferma. 3. Las reducciones obtenidas en la producción de azúcar por cuerda debidas a la enfermedad fueron de 26.7 porciento en la plantilla y de 41.7 en el retoño. 4. La variedad B. 34-104 mantenida libre de mosaico produce tanta azúcar como la variedad P.O.J.-2878, pero produce un mayor tonelaje.

Las inyecciones de estreptomicina son eficaces para controlar el "moquillo" de las aves. Las aves que se trataron con la estreptomicina mejoraron o curaron del "moquillo" en una proporción mayor que las que se dejaron sin administrarle la droga. Sin embargo, es bueno apuntar, que la concentración de 0.05 gramo de estreptomicina, la más baja en los ensayos, aplicada subcutáneamente a cada ave, dejó de surtir los efectos de curación esperados. Cuando se inyectó la estreptomicina en concentraciones de 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, y 0.25 gramo por ave, la eficacia de la droga en contra de la enfermedad fué de 92.9, 75.0, 96.4 y 85.7 porciento, respectivamente. Las inyecciones intramusculares fueron más eficaces que las subcutáneas. De acuerdo con los resultados, el aplicar una inyección intramuscular de 0.10 gramo de estreptomicina por ave enferma, es un método económico y casi seguro para controlar el "moquillo" aviar.

A dos suelos ácidos de Puerto Rico, a los cuales se les había añadido cal y ácido fosfórico (P2O5), a razón de 4 toneladas y 100 libras por acre, respectivamente, también se les añadió distintos niveles de un abono verde de habichuelas terciopelo. El abono verde se enterró en un campo y se dejó como capa mullidora (mulch) en otro campo. El objetivo del trabajo fué estudiar los efectos del abono verde sobre los rendimientos del maíz, el cual había sido abonado con 240 libras de potasa (K2O) por acre. Cinco toneladas del abono verde, indistintamente, aumentaron los rendimientos del maíz en una arcilla Catalina en Mayagüez, cuando se enterró o se usó como capa mullidora. Sin embargo, 10 toneladas de la misma clase de abono verde sólo aumentó los rendimientos cuando se enterró con arado, siendo desatendibles los efectos al dejarse como capa mullidora. No hubo diferencias significativas en los rendimientos del maíz en la arcilla ácida Fajardo en Río Piedras, aún usando 5, 10 y 25 toneladas del abono verde. Sin embargo, anteriormente se habían registrado aumentos en los rendimientos de batatas y maíz, en dos parcelas del mismo tipo de suelo en el mismo sitio, lo que da a entender que el contenido de nitrógeno y materia orgánica en el terreno habían llegado ya a su estado óptimo, antes de establecer el experimento. El efecto residual del abono verde, tampoco aumentó los rendimientos de una segunda cosecha de maíz que se sembró en el mismo sitio en Río Piedras.

El problema de la salinidad del Valle de Lajas, en la parte suroeste de Puerto Rico, ha sido el resultado del desagüe inadecuado y de la evaporación de las escorrentías del agua salada de los pozos, usada para el riego. Estas aguas saladas han venido usándose, por muchos años, para regalía caña de azúcar en esta árida región. Toda la zona contiene alrededor de 10,000 acres de terrenos salados. El sistema de riego del Valle de Lajas, actualmente en construcción, podrá proveer agua a 24,000 acres de terrenos fértiles. Las tierras saladas de esta zona comprenden suelos salinos, salino-alcalinos y alcalinos no salinos. Los suelos salinos contienen una cantidad excesiva de sales libres, mientras que los alcalinos tienen gran cantidad de sodio intercambiable. Las sales libres en los terrenos se pueden lavar con agua de buena calidad, si el desagüe es adecuado. Esto quedó comprobado durante los experimentos que se llevaron a cabo en el campo. Para eliminar el sodio intercambiable en los suelos alcalinos, es necesario, también, añadirles yeso o azufre. La adición de estos ingredientes resulta económica, cuando la cantidad de sodio intercambiable presente no exceda de 5 miliequivalentes, poco más o menos, por cada 100 gramos de suelo. La presencia del calcio libre e intercambiable, en estos suelos salados, es abundante, y por lo tanto, favorable en cuanto a su eficaz reclamación. En uno de los experimentos hechos, la aplicación de 2 toneladas de yeso por acre a un terreno salado, produjo un aumento significativo en el rendimiento de la caña de azúcar, pero los jugos resultaron salados. Se observó que la caña creció pobremente en aquellas tierras saladas que contenían de 0.75 a 2.00 partes por millón de boro asimilable; de 0.53 a 1.19 por ciento de cloruro sódico; de 20.0 a 72.9 por ciento de sodio; valores pH entre 8.3 y 9.2; y donde la razón entre el calcio y el sodio fluctuó de 2.5 a 3.1. La caña de azúcar creció satisfactoriamente, cuando el terreno salado contenía de 4.5 a 11.4 por ciento de sodio y cuando la razón entre el calcio y el sodio fluctuó de 12.0 a 19.4.

Aunque se ha hecho mucho trabajo con respecto a la relación entre la composición química de la planta y el rendimiento de la misma, al presente existe muy poca información en cuanto a la relación cuantitativa entre estos dos factores. Usando datos obtenidos con sorgo hegari crecido en varios niveles de abonamiento en los principales suelos de Puerto Rico, se ha establecido una ecuación matemática general que relaciona el rendimiento de sorgo con su composición química.
