Authors: Sihombing Tahan HJ
Published: July 2022

It is often assumed that native-English teachers are the best teachers in the teaching of English. This results in the preference towards native-English teachers and the isolation of non-native English teachers when it comes to English teaching profession. This assumption should not be perpetuated. English teaching researches have shown that native-English teachers are not always the ideal teachers in the teaching of English. The findings of the researches state that non-native English teachers have more advantages compared to the native ones especially in the context of English as an international language where English can no longer be associated with only English-speaking countries. This paper discusses the issue of the preference towards native-English teachers and the isolation of non-native English teachers.

This survey has revealed the awareness and understanding of Salalah people regarding the services and activities of Islamic banking. Design/methodology/approach: In this study descriptive statistics, factor analysis and logistic regression approaches to analyze the expectations of customers regarding Islamic banking in Oman. In this research, a sample of 102 people that includes people of different age groups, different profession and occupation were selected. They were mainly the customers of the Islamic bank. The religious commitments of customers, understanding of Islamic banking; products are the variables that have been evaluated. Findings: The findings show that Islamic banking awareness is very low among Omanis, despite the fact that the perceived value of Islamic banking is significant. The study also identifies some of the challenging issues for Banking system in Oman, such as a lack of understanding about Islamic banking, competitive pressures from conventional banking, and non-Muslims' unwillingness to adopt Islamic banking. Among all the participants, the knowledge and use of Islamic banking products by consumers is very weak. Almost all customers accept that interest in Islam is forbidden, but they consider most of the Islamic banks are not to be consistent with Shariah. The findings suggest that the key factors of Islamic banking are religious commitment, perception of Islamic banking. Research limitations/implications – Given the fact that this study uses a relatively small sample, limiting to only one city of the country generalization of the findings needs to be done with caution.

Specifically, the study focused on investigating whether Pilates Method mat-based and equipment practices affects mindfulness, self-compassion and life satisfaction among adults. A total of 129 adults (16 men and 113 women) participated in this study. Participants completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Self-Compassion Scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale, and provided additional information regarding the frequency of participation in Pilates practices and demographics. Correlation analysis indicated strong relationships between variables. One-way multivariate analysis of variance was used to determine differences in mindfulness, self-compassion and life satisfaction, and revealed significant differences between Pilates subgroups. Bonferroni post hoc tests showed that participants who practiced Pilates as many as five times per week scored higher than those participating once or twice. Regression analyses indicated that mindfulness and self-compassion were good predictors of life satisfaction. Pilates positively correlated with factors that enhance positive psychology processes and wellbeing. The major finding was that Pilates practitioners can enter into a different relationship with bodily movement, transcending the physical body, fitness and exercise techniques. Further empirical research is required to explore how the Pilates Method shapes somatic experiences. Implications of the Pilates technique as a somatic and mind-body method in physical and dance education are presented.

Pausar; una reflexión frente a las sendas recorridas
Authors: Restrepo Zabala María Elena
Published: July 2022

Este artículo nace de un encuentro fortuito con un tesoro familiar; una serie de epístolas que mi abuelo, Silvio Restrepo, escribió a sus hijos como una forma de acompañarlos en sus recorridos por la vida. En una de ellas, titulada Los caminos se dirige a su hijo menor, Juan David; allí le cuenta por qué para él son importantes los caminos, el caminar, la contemplación y la pausa. En este encuentro descubrí que el camino me pedía una pausa; sentí que aquellas enseñanzas de mi abuelo habían sido escritas también para mí. Me dejé abrazar por sus palabras para comenzar a reflexionar sobre el camino como una metáfora del transitar por la vida. Este transitar toma como lenguaje una serie de búsquedas plásticas representadas en entrecruces de hilos y tramas textiles, bocetos, manchas y líneas; allí me encuentro con la pausa en la cotidianidad y de ella surge una serie de objetos plásticos donde registro cada una de las reflexiones que emergen en mi caminar. Con este artículo invito al lector a pausar y, de esta manera, reconocerse como caminante.

Published: July 2022

This study examined and discussed the historical significance of the developmental aspects of the Kodokan Judo in the process of inflow of Kodokan Judo by forced suppression after the establishment of YMCA Judo in 1906 in Korea with an objective perspective and drew conclusions. The establishment of Judo Korea was officially established on November 22, 1917 by the forced suppression of the Chosun Judo Department in the YMCA Hwangseong Christian Youth Association in 1906. This group was a group by political means of the Chosun Governor-General and the Japanese imperialists.,On the other hand, the Judo part of the Joseon Dynasty formed a momentum for the commercial spirit in the Judo part of the YMCA Hwangseong Christian Youth Association for the sake of national revival. In other words, with the claim of Lee Sang-jae, a teacher of Vietnam, who is training 100 people in the terrible times of the Japanese colonial rule, the national leaders did not spare all physical support to inspire the business spirit through Judo first, and the indifference of the drama in the emerging military schools became the starting point for the independence movement. In addition, the first Judo tournament was held on October 19, 1929, with five organizations participating, but the last tournament was abolished by Japan on October 12, 1935, as the 7th meeting. However, Lee Sun-gil won the championship and runner-up in 1930s and 1940s, and Seok Jin-kyung not only won the solo exhibition of the Judo Championship in July 1933, but also the Chosun Judo re-defeated Japan and gave a national spirit of business as a country. Thus, it will be possible to present the historical value that achieved the grandeur through the national thought of Judo in Korea during the Japanese colonial period and the academic plan of Judo history education.
Development of Score Prediction Model and Exploration of Athletic Performance Factors for English Premier League Using Penalized Regression Analysis
Authors:   Taegu Science University Defense Security Institute, Choi Kyoung Ho , Choi Jin Hee , Jung Kyoung Gu
Published: July 2022

Advancements in Information Communication Technology during the Fourth Industrial Revolution have led to rapid progress in soccer-related industries and research. Various countries have professional soccer leagues devoted to securing victory. These activities include studies that identify the performance factors that significantly influence the outcome of matches. Researchers often use linear regression analysis based on least-squares estimation for this process, but this method has several issues. As an alternative to this, penalized regression analysis that minimizes the penalty-pointed residual sum of squares has been developed as an alternative. However, there are few studies using the penalty point regression analysis to predict points in soccer. Therefore, in this study, theoretical contents were introduced to activate the penalty point regression analysis, and further examples of application were presented by empirically analyzing 2020-2021 EPL(EPL: The Football Association Premier League Limited) data. It was found to be a statistical predictive model. According to the results, the LASSO model and elastic net models were more suitable statistical prediction models from the perspective of the root mean square error (RMSE). Additionally, among the 19 variables used in the analysis, defensive factors such as tackles, clean sheets, and saves were identified as critical performance factors that impacted the score. Based on the results of this study, in order to enable more in-depth research in the future, the researchers hope that the EPL website will provide activity data, such as the total distance traveled, number of sprints, instantaneous speed, and distance between attackers and defenders.

Authors:   Taegu Science University Defense Security Institute, Cho Seung Mo
Published: July 2022

This article has derived the CAPM under the mean-variance utility function. Thus, it has the following academic significance. Firstly, the article has proposed a new way of deriving the CAPM in addition to the various traditional ones by previous studies of Sharpe(1964), Lintner(1965), Mossin(1966), Huang & Litzenberger(1988), etc. Secondly, by proposing the assumption of mean-variance utility to derive the CAPM, it has contributed to the research on assumptions or conditions for the CAPM such as Markowitz(1959), Tobin(1958, 1969), Borch(1969), Feldstein(1969), Ross(1978), Nielsen(1990), Allingham(1991), Berk(1997), etc. Thirdly, it has proposed an intuitive and simple assumption of mean-variance utility to derive the CAPM unlike the traditional nonintuitive and mathematical assumptions or conditions for the CAPM proposed by preceding researches of Markowitz(1959), Tobin(1958, 1969), Borch(1969), Feldstein(1969), Ross(1978), Nielsen(1990), Allingham(1991), Berk(1997), etc.

Authors:   Samara State Transport University, Vaseltsova I.A. , Igoshkin A.N. , Berezhnik Yu.Yu.
Published: July 2022

The modern social order does not limit the requirements for the model characteristics of transport industry specialists to the criteria for the completeness of specialized knowledge and skills as part of universal and professional competencies, but also requires a formed focus on continuous replenishment of professional baggage, abilities for self-realization and self-development. The relevance of the article is due to the need to study the personal characteristics of students - future specialists in the transport industry - allowing optimal adaptation to the socio-technological conditions of professional activity. Multivariate analysis shows that the mechanisms of adaptation processes are due to the presence of the following characteristics: sthenicity; leadership; communication; technical and formula-digital thinking; prudence; mental abilities. Purposeful formation of the identified qualities is possible in the educational system of the university based on the integration of creative, sports, volunteer, social types of educational activities and professional and applied physical training within the framework of mastering the disciplines of physical culture and sports. A pilot study of the initial level of formation of personal characteristics that ensure the formation of adaptation mechanisms to the socio-technological conditions for the implementation of professional activities in transport has proved the need for the formation of these qualities in the educational system of the university. The study involved 3-4 year students of the Samara University of Communications (118 people).

«NEW PEARL HARBOR»: ASSESSMENTS OF THE CYBERTHREAM IN THE US PRESS
Authors:   Samara State Technical University, Levin Ya.A. , Buranok S.O. ,   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education
Published: July 2022

The metaphor "New Pearl Harbor" and its variant "Russian Pearl Harbor" is an important element of US foreign policy discourse and contemporary research. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is used both for "internal consumption" (political discourse) and for external. And in the XXI century. this metaphor very often arises in the coverage and analysis of contemporary Russian-American relations. The study of this metaphor in the United States is carried out in several directions. The authors come to the conclusion that in 2001 the “New Pearl Harbor” metaphor was transformed from the American media into the US foreign policy discourse. This attention to cyber threats was quickly reflected in official US strategic documents. Thus, the US National Security Strategy states: “Today, cyberspace enables state and non-state actors to campaign and attack against American politics, economics and security.” When analyzing and commenting on this provision of the US National Security Strategy, the American media unequivocally interpreted this threat as Cyber Pearl Harbor. Therefore, studying the specifics of understanding and using the concept of "Cyber Pearl Harbor" is an important and relevant research task, due to the provisions of the US National Security Strategy, which helps to highlight in more detail the specifics of constructing the image of foreign policy threats.
EXPRESSIONISM AND THE SCIENCE FICTION GENRE: THE SPECIFICS OF INTERACTION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE WORK OF R. HEINLEIN)
Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Radaeva E.A.
Published: July 2022

In this article, the author aims to prove that the traditions of expressionism are also found among science fiction writers. The work of the American writer of the twentieth century Robert Heinlein was practically never mentioned by anyone in the expressionist paradigm, however, when studying his biography and literary heritage, we find a lot of details that go back to expressionism - this is magical realism, closely related to this direction, to the artistic method of which R. Heinlein resorted to, according to the researchers of his work; passion for solipsism, the doctrine of which can be regarded to a large extent as a manifesto of expressionism, and the very attempts to go beyond the genre of fantasy, with which the name of this writer is firmly linked. In each work of R. Heinlein, the notes of expressionism are present in different ways: either in the subject (pressure of the state machine or society on the individual), the spirit of freedom and the spirit of protest, attention to the problem of death, mysticism, the problem of limited human perception and the illusory nature of the visible world. All of the above once again indicates that, assimilated throughout the subsequent 1920s. culture, expressionist experience is able to manifest itself, no matter how bold it sounds, in the work of almost any writer - to one degree or another, at one stage or another of his path. In addition, in an artist whose works contain elements of expressionism, one can detect the movement of creative searches from realism to expressionism, but neither the way back, nor the reciprocity of these ways of worldview and world-modeling can be found.

Enhanced Visual Analytics Technique for Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval
Authors: Abinaya S. , Rajasenbagam T.
Published: July 2022

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is a method for searching that finds related images in a medical database. Furthermore, a clinical adaptation of CBIR is hampered in part by a contextual gap that is the disparity among the person characterization of the picture and the framework characterization of the image. This technique makes it tough for the user to validate the fetched images that are similar to the query image in addition to that it only fetches the images of top-ranked and ignores the low-ranking ones. Visual Analytics for Medical Image Retrieval is a novel procedure for medicinal CBIR proposed in this research (VAMIR). By integrating human and machine analysis, Visual Analytics provides the potential to address the above-mentioned significant challenges. The texture properties are retrieved using the shape features extraction and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is performed by contour-based shape descriptor. Using the Euclidean distance correlation metric, related medical pictures will be fetched by distinguishing the query image's attribute vector with the database images' respective attribute vectors. A vector of multiple features outperforms a vector of a single feature in terms of quality. The VAMIR implementation demonstrates that the search outcome for the user is acquired with 90% of recall and precision.

Steganography is a technique of hiding information in digital media. In recent years plenty of work has been done in this domain, and the work can be compared on various parameters such as high robustness and large capacity to achieve a goal. This paper proposed the method of steganography in digital media using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The DWT is a frequency-domain technique comprising DWT which comparatively offers better robustness and high PSNR value of stego image over other techniques. The proposed method works well for information hiding against AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) attack and fulfills the objective to achieve high robustness and high PSNR.

People who want to buy a new home tend to save more on their budgets and market strategies. The current system includes real estate calculations without the necessary forecasts for future market trends and inflation. The housing market is one of the most competitive in terms of pricing and the same has varied greatly in terms of many factors. Asset pricing is an important factor in decision- making for both buyers and investors in supporting budget allocation, acquisition strategies and deciding on the best plans as a result, it is one of the most important areas in which machine learning ideas can be used to maximize and accurately anticipate prices. As a result, in this paper, we present the different significant factors that we employ to accurately anticipate property values. To reduce residual errors, we can utilize regression models with a range of characteristics. Some engineering aspects are required when employing features in the regression model for improved prediction. To improve model fit, a set of multi-regression elements or a polynomial regression (with a set of varying strengths in the elements) is frequently utilized. In these models, it is expected to be significantly affected by the slope of the spine used to reduce it. Therefore, it directs the best use of regression models over other strategies to maximize the effect. This paper's goal is to predict free hold prices for free hold consumers based on their budgets and goals. Prospective prices can be forecast by evaluating past market trends and price levels, as well as future developments.

Conventional PID controllers have utilised in most of the process industries. Despite being the most used controller, the traditional PID controller suffers from several disadvantages. Due to rapid development in the field of the process control system, various controllers have been developed that try to overcome the limitations of the PID controller. In this paper, a heat exchanger system has been simulated, and the generated data has been used to train a deep learning-based controller using Backpropagation. The obtained results are compared with the conventional controller on several metrics, including time response, performance indices, frequency response etc. The proposed model outperforms the conventional controller on all the evaluation metrics.

La neurociencia tiene mucho que decir al respecto y, por este motivo, ha invertido décadas de investigación para conocer las estructuras cerebrales implicadas Nuestro cerebro social no se ha desarrollado para quedarnos en la mera experiencia de las vivencias, sino para emplear el lenguaje, pensamiento y emociones en compartirlo con nuestros iguales.
The cognitive structure underlying the organization of observed actions
Authors: Kabulska Zuzanna , Lingnau Angelika
Published: July 2022

In daily life, we frequently encounter actions performed by other people. Here we aimed to examine the key categories and features underlying the organization of a wide range of actions in three behavioral experiments (N = 378 participants). In Experiment 1, we used a multi-arrangement task of 100 different actions. Inverse multidimensional scaling and hierarchical clustering revealed 11 action categories, including Locomotion, Communication, and Aggressive actions. In Experiment 2, we used a feature-listing paradigm to obtain a wide range of action features that were subsequently reduced to 59 key features and used in a rating study (Experiment 3). A direct comparison of the feature ratings obtained in Experiment 3 between actions belonging to the categories identified in Experiment 1 revealed a number of features that appear to be critical for the distinction between these categories, e.g., the features Harm and Noise for the category Aggressive actions, and the features Targeting a person and Contact with others for the category Interaction. Finally, we found that a part of the category-based organization is explained by a combination of weighted features, whereas a significant proportion of variability remained unexplained, suggesting that there are additional sources of information that contribute to the categorization of observed actions. The characterization of action categories and their associated features serves as an important extension of previous studies examining the cognitive structure of actions. Moreover, our results may serve as the basis for future behavioral, neuroimaging and computational modeling studies.

Ultrasonic method for testing of power transformers
Authors: Brezak Danijel , Filipović-Grčić Dalibor
Published: July 2022

Ultrasonic method of detecting PD is based on the fact that the electrical energy of the PD transforms in a mechanical energy, an ultrasonic acoustic wave that spreads through the transformer to the tank wall. From time difference of wave detection on different sensors, a possible location of the source can be estimated. Ultrasonic method can detect other transformer deficiencies such as loose contacts and local overheating of oil (T>200°C). Three case studies are given in this paper. The first case was where DGA indicates the thermal problem in the oil and the result of ultrasonic testing points at OLTC contacts. In the second case an ultrasonic method was performed after electrical method detected high levels of PD at voltages much lower than the nominal. Ultrasonic method detected non-grounded parts of the returning limb electrostatic screen. In the third case, a failure of transformer, namely a breakdown from the HV bushing end shield, initiated a series of tests on similar transformers installed at the same substation. The assumption was that PD occurred in the shied epoxy insulation and eventually caused the breakdown.
