Authors: Purwanto M. Bambang , Marsinah Marsinah
Published: May 2023

Mind maps are visual frameworks suchÂ  as Â figures, diagrams, or Â charts usedÂ  to Â present structural knowledge spatially with the intention of empowering comprehension and learning. Mind maps are effective in terms of helping communicate information because they can clarify complex concepts into simple, meaningful displays so that learners can develop a holistic understanding of the content to be learnt. Teachers may use mind mapping technique at Â different Â stages Â of Â instructionÂ  for Â example during Â instructionÂ  to Â prepare Â students to approach new Â information andÂ  clarify complex ideas, or Â after instruction to Â assess Â and reinforce learning and instruction. This article reports on an investigation into the use of mind mapping technique whether it can improve reading comprehension ability and the studentsâ€™ opinions towards the use of mind mapping technique. The research design used in this study was one-group pre test-post test design. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative data analyses from pre-and post-tests, a questionnaire, and an interview. The participants of the Â studyÂ  were Â 35 Â first-year Â students Â enrolling Â in Â a Â compulsory reading Â course Â called Communication and Reading Skills at Darussalam Polytechnic of Palembang.Â Â  Fifteen students (5 highly successful, 5 who did not show any improvement, and 5 unsuccessful) were selected for retrospective interviews. The results suggested that 1) The English reading comprehension post test mean score of students was higher than the pre test mean score at the 0.05 level of significance; 2) most students were satisfied with their own reading comprehension ability; 3) they enjoyed working in Â group and Â agreed that Â mindÂ  mapping technique was Â a Â useful technique and can be applied to non- English subjects.

Published: May 2023

В роботі проведено дослідження варіаційних можливостей генераторів хаосу по формуванню псевдовипадкових послідовностей, які можна використовувати в системах потокового шифрування. У криптографічних системах найчастіше застосовуються лінійно-конгруентні генератори або апаратні генератори із зворотними зв’язками. Недоліками таких генераторів є невеликий період формування псевдовипадкових числових послідовностей, а також обмежена кількість можливих комбінацій. З цієї причини доцільним є дослідження властивостей генераторів хаосу, період формування вибірки чисел для яких залежить від розміру розрядної сітки використовуваної обчислювальної системи. Вочевидь, що якість генераторів хаосу потрібно оцінювати за допомогою системи тестів NIST. Тобто, для практичного застосування генераторів хаосу в криптографічних системах необхідна ретельна оцінка їх статистичних характеристик. Також на основі хаотичних послідовностей розробляються різні методи модуляції, за допомогою яких забезпечується структурна та енергетична прихованість сигнальних конструкцій. Передумовами для всього цього стали властивості динамічного хаосу: рух детермінованої динамічної системи при певних умовах має всі властивості шумового сигналу; наявність нелінійності і неперіодичності процесу. Характерною особливістю генераторів хаосу є те, що незначні зміни початкових параметрів хаотичного процесу призводять до суттєвої зміни значень генеруючих коливань. Це дає можливість формувати різні траєкторії хаотичного процесу, на основі яких можна створювати практично необмежену кількість комбінацій псевдовипадкових послідовностей (ПВП) заданої довжини. Однак реальне впровадження динамічного хаосу для систем шифрування та модуляції вимагає пошуку методів, за допомогою яких можна формувати початкові параметри генератора на основі, наприклад, введеного пароля. З цього приводу доцільним є оцінка варіаційних можливостей генераторів хаосу для завдання формування псевдовипадкових послідовностей з необхідними кореляційними властивостями. На жаль, у відомих наукових працях цьому питанню приділено недостатню увагу, тому перспективність дослідження в даному напрямку визначає актуальність роботи. Метою цієї роботи є дослідження варіаційних можливостей генераторів хаосу для формування псевдовипадкових послідовностей із заданими кореляційними властивостями.

The labor market in Colombia: Structural features and the role of wages in the post-pandemic inflationary surge
Authors: Pulido José , Vargas-Herrera Hernando , Ospina-Tejeiro Juan J.
Published: May 2023

We provide an overview of the primary structural features of the labor market in Colombia and survey the margins of adjustment of the market during the pandemic. Given the decline of real wages amid the post-pandemic inflationary surge, mainly due to the formal wage rigidity in the short run, we investigate whether the dynamics of nominal wages and their expected adjustments to catch up with prices could fuel the post-pandemic inflationary escalation. For this, we estimate the long-term relationship between wages, prices, and labor productivity using a small open economy framework. We find that up until the third quarter of 2022, wages were not among the primary drivers of the observed inflation escalation. However, wages have typically contributed to restoring long-run equilibrium. Thus, their adjustment towards equilibrium, which can occur through indexation, could imply risks for the convergence of inflation to the target. These risks are significant if the observed sources of the inflationary surge persist.

Authors: Blare Trent , Ballen Fredy H. , Haley Nicholas , Contreras Victor , Crane Jonathan H. , Carrillo Daniel , Gonzalez Erick
Published: May 2023

Dado que Florida es uno de los tres estados de los Estados Unidos (junto con California y Hawái) que tiene las condiciones climáticas para cultivar lichi, y la creciente demanda de los consumidores de este cultivo, la producción de lichi tiene el potencial de ser un cultivo rentable para los productores floridanos. Este documento estima los costos y rendimientos asociados con la operación de un bosque de lichi en el sur y centro de Florida. Presenta los resultados de entrevistas de campo con productores de lichi y expertos de la industria. Los productores podrían esperar un promedio de casi $ 8,000 por acre por año de la producción de lichi cuando hay una cosecha, sin embargo, la variación climática que causa cosechas inconsistentes, el aumento de la presión de plagas como el ácaro erinosa de lichi y la fuerte competencia extranjera también deben considerarse al tomar decisiones de producción.
Waterlettuce Weevil Neohydronomus affinis Hustache, 1926 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Telmadarrehei Telmah , Minteer Carey R.
Published: May 2023

Neohydronomus affinis Hustache is known as the waterlettuce weevil (Figure 1). It is a biological control agent of the floating plant, waterlettuce, Pistia stratiotes Linnaeus (Araceae) (O’Brien & Wibmer, 1989; Center et al., 2002). Waterlettuce is found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It infests slow-moving streams, waterways, lakes, and rivers, forming dense floating mats that are composed of several rosettes connected by stolons (runner stems). The presence of waterlettuce mats diminishes biological diversity and generates obstructions for boating, waterflow, and aquatic organisms (Cordo & Sosa, 2000; Dray & Center, 2002). Even though waterlettuce was documented by explorer William Bartram in Florida before 1765 (plants-archive.ifas.ufl/plant-directory), it is listed as a class II prohibited aquatic plant in the State of Florida.

There are three species in the genus Neohydronmus, all of which originate from South and Central America. These weevils are subaquatic, and their exoskeletons are covered in white scales with no water-resistant features. The three species are all associated with waterlettuce and feed exclusively on it (Center et al., 2002; O’Brien & Wibmer, 1989). Among them, N. affinis was first introduced as a biological control agent into Florida in 1987 at Torry Island and Kreamer Island at the south end of Lake Okeechobee (Dray et al., 1990; 2001). Since then, the insect has successfully established itself in peninsular Florida and is also reported in Louisiana (Center et al., 2002).

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Araújo Aurea
Published: May 2023

Problem. Within a context of inadequate pre-service training, insufficient administrative support, and an ambivalent social environment regarding the teaching of ESL in Puerto Rico, a number of conscientious bilingual teachers try to overcome the odds of the system and have an impact on students' ability to speak English. Some even become exemplary teachers. How do they learn to meet so many expectations successfully in spite of real short comings found in their job, and how do they acquire the skills and competencies necessary to be exemplary bilingual teachers in Puerto Rico? Method. A qualitative multiple-case study design was used for this research. Two elementary and two intermediate bilingual teachers were observed and interviewed during the course of one school year. Their training, classroom practices, and life experiences are described in narrative form. Results. All four teachers were found to have exemplary practice, according to NABE (1992) and the Puerto Rican Teachers Association (1976) standards, in spite of insufficient pre-service training in their area of specialization and inadequate administrative support. Further analysis of similarities and differences in the teachers' experiences led to the emergence of themes such as their moral sensibility and sense of calling to the teaching vocation that made them search for ways to make up for their limitations in terms of training and administrative support. Each of the four had substantiated learning experiences in the United States. While the local communities appeared to support bilingual education, the larger context of bilingual education in Puerto Rico is not supported by a unified national agenda. Conclusions. The teachers in this study continue their personal and professional growth because they embrace it as a personal mission and as a moral act. Their life experiences strongly influence their ability to provide exemplary education to Puerto Ricans.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Darden Robert
Published: May 2023

Problem . Outcome studies continue to indicate that a substantial proportion of individuals with eating disorders have a dangerously limited response to treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if a Christian cognitive-behavioral-based inpatient hospital that specializes in eating disorders was an effective program for treating eating disorders. Next, this study sought to determine if this inpatient hospital was effective in treating both depression and spiritual distress. Finally, this study examined the relationship between depression and spiritual distress with treatment outcome. Method . Five hundred and eighty-two patients were admitted to an inpatient hospital between July 1, 1999, and June 30, 2000. Four hundred and fifty-one patients provided useable data. Participants completed the BeckDepression Inventory-II at admission and discharge, the Remuda Ranch Spiritual Inventory at admission and discharge, and the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 at admission, discharge, and 1-year post-discharge. Results . A multivariate repeated measure analysis of variance indicated that eating disorder symptomatology was significantly reduced. Two separate paired t -tests suggested that mean depression and spiritual distress scores were significantly reduced. Three separate regression analyses provided evidence that depression and spiritual distress significantly accounted for some of the variance in eating disorder symptomatology. Conclusions . Results indicated that a Christian-based inpatient hospital can be an effective treatment milieu for rducing eating disorder symptomatology, depression, and spiritual distress. Results also provided evidence that depression and spiritual distress are correlated with treatment outcome.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Grant Jeanne
Published: May 2023

Purpose of study. This study focuses on the implementation of the Field-based Master's Program at Midwestern Christian University. The three-step Adoption Change Model (Fullan, 1991) guided me through this innovation: (1) adoption, (2) implementation, and (3) institutionalization of the program. This 2-year study describes the program's adoption and implementation stages. Institutionalization was not included as it takes 3-10 years to occur. Three research questions guided this study. Research questions. (1) What did the teacher training in the uses of processes look like during the initial summer session of the Field-based Master's Program? (2) What did the transfer of training in the use of processes look like in the participants' classrooms? (3) What were the teachers' reactions, concerns, and recommendations throughout the implementation of the Field-based Master's Program? Summary of research question answers. Initial teacher training was designed using the Joyce-Showers Training Model (1995). The participants were in a Workshop Design environment (Joyce, 1992) at the university that allowed the professors to model what the participants expected to learn. The Workplace Design (Joyce, 1992) facilitated transfer of training to the classroom. Cohort groups provided support during transfer of training the first year of implementation but discontinued during the second year. Four themes emerged when analyzing the teacher's reactions: (a) Learning and Implementing Strategies, (b) Cohort Groups, (c) Unclear Communication and Expectations, and (d) Feeling Overwhelmed and Frustrated. Conclusions. This study confirmed much of the research on educational change. Its contributions to the literature include: (a) documentation of a Field-based Master's Program affiliated with a religious institution of higher education and a parochial school system, and (b) presentation of a rationale for continued literature review as a guide throughout the process of change.
A Rhetorical Analysis of Theodore Hesburgh's Fund-Raising Speeches for the University of Notre Dame
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Ncube Peggie
Published: May 2023

Problem Statement. Literature reveals that college or university presidents play a key role in raising funds for their institutions. These roles are well documented, and yet many presidents face challenges in raising adequate funds for their institutions. Success stories of some university presidents are recorded, but no research has studied their rhetoric in raising funds in an attempt to uncover their formula for success. One such president is Theodore Hesburgh of the University of Notre Dame. Methodology. This study assumes a rhetorical design, specifically the Burkean dramatistic approach to analyze Theodore Hesburgh's fund-raising speeches to the alumni of the University of Notre Dame. Data were Hesburgh’s fund-raising speeches that he gave to the alumni. Conclusion. Hesburgh’s formula for success in raising funds for the University of Notre Dame has five key components: 1. He connects and establishes identification with the alumni not because the University is their alma mater, but because they are to serve the world on behalf of the University. 2. He focuses outward on universals not inward on institutional needs. As the alumni disseminate established principles and values learned at the University of Notre Dame, they are actually engaging in responding to the needs of the University. 3. His appeal is for the alumni to work hard for the University and makes giving money an easy way to accomplish the work. 4. He focuses on alumni, not current students. Alumni do not give to the University to help poor students have the same experience the alumni had, but he reminds them of their experiences while at the University and how those experiences have gotten them to where they are in life. 5. He focuses on what the University has, not on what it does not have--these are the principles and values the University imparts to students and they are those to which the University can hold students accountable.
