Matemática e EJA: práticas docentes e sua conexão à dimensão pedagógica do Programa Etnomatemática
Authors: Santana José Jorge Francisco de , Ferreira Adriana Assis , Corrêa Roseli de Alvarenga
Published: January 2024

O ensino de Matemática na Educação de Jovens e Adultos, EJA, constitui-se por diversos desafios enfrentados pelos docentes dessa disciplina. Não se trata apenas de lidar com alunos de maior faixa etária, mas, principalmente, de se considerar, tanto no planejamento quanto nas atividades de ensino, a trajetória de vida dos alunos repleta de saberes escolares e não escolares que são levados em seu reingresso à escola. Assim, a necessidade de contextualização dos conteúdos a serem estudados, a incorporação das diferentes expressões culturais dos alunos da EJA e a prática pedagógica fundamentada sobretudo em ações dialógicas podem vislumbrar possibilidades auspiciosas de aprendizagem. O Programa Etnomatemática é um campo fértil para a proposição de ações pedagógicas com as características acima expressas, pois leva em conta perspectivas e práticas matemáticas de indivíduos de diferentes grupos sociais e culturais nos quais suas ideias são consideradas e manifestadas. Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as práticas docentes dos professores de Matemática da Educação de Jovens e Adultos e sua conexão à dimensão pedagógica do Programa Etnomatemática. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa junto aos professores de Matemática atuantes nessa modalidade de ensino nas escolas públicas estaduais de Montes Claros, MG, Brasil, em que o levantamento de dados ocorreu por duas vias complementares. Inicialmente, 21 docentes responderam a um questionário semiestruturado e, em seguida, foram selecionados quatro dos respondentes anteriores para uma entrevista individual. Em termos analíticos, foi utilizada a Análise de Conteúdo Categorial que resultou na construção de três Categorias de Análise: 1) Saberes não escolares e diversidade cultural; 2) Prática pedagógica e Matemática na EJA; 3) Programa Etnomatemática e ações curriculares. Essas categorias analisadas conjuntamente revelaram uma relevante preocupação dos professores em pautar sua prática por diferentes mecanismos como identificação dos saberes não escolares, contextualização dos conteúdos e, segundo sua compreensão, ações curriculares em sintonia somente com as tendências em Educação Matemática conhecidas como Resolução de Problemas e História da Matemática. Entretanto, muitas dessas ações realizadas conectam-se à dimensão pedagógica do Programa Etnomatemática, embora o professor não se aperceba dessa conexão.

Published: January 2024

Modern image processing technologies are already widely used in agriculture. Tractors can be equipped with GPS receivers, cameras and sensors for navigation, measuring soil moisture, controlling the application of resources (such as fertilizers and pesticides), and monitoring plant growth.
Identification and analysis of the main shortcomings of existing methods of pre-processing and selection of image contours and is of particular interest in the field of processing and improving the quality of digital images in navigation systems, such as: automatic driving systems (Auto Guidance Systems)
The relevance of improving the process of image processing in navigation systems of agricultural machines in conditions of limited visibility is important for several reasons:
- effective image processing allows agricultural machines to automatically determine their location and perform navigation tasks even in difficult weather conditions when visibility is limited.
- accurate image processing can help avoid errors related to navigation, which can be critical in growing crops.
- with accurate image processing, agricultural machines can precisely determine the places where resources such as fertilizers or plant protection products need to be applied, allowing to optimize their use and reduce costs.
- conditions of limited visibility, such as fog, rain or high humidity, may affect visibility for operators.
Modern image processing technologies are already widely used in agriculture. Tractors can be equipped with GPS receivers, cameras and sensors for navigation, measuring soil moisture, controlling the application of resources (such as fertilizers and pesticides), and monitoring plant growth.
Taking into account these factors, the development and improvement of image processing technologies in the navigation systems of agricultural machines remains an important topic of research and development in the field of agriculture.

Transhumances
Authors: Pasini Roberto
Published: January 2024

IDAUP students contributed to preliminary analyses for a regional plan led by SeaLine and Metropolis. The plan proposes a scenario of cultural valorization and economic development along the breathtaking Southern Albanian coast from Vlora to Saranda, framed in the transnational space planning of the Balkan coast. The cultural, ethnical and religious diversity of the surviving enclaves have been grounded by century-long territorialization processes engaging the Balkans, Greece, Corfu Island and Otranto across the strait. The landscape mosaic of tangible and intangible layers collapses into the seasonal settlements of transhumant pre-Ottoman shepherds: a pattern of pebble-stone wells shadowed by fig-tree woods along the shore. The text elaborates on the compatibility of geopolitical aspirations with the prerogatives of an architectural territorial vision and on the practical viability of combining principles from contradictory theoretical models of territorial development to deploy an effective plan.

Published: January 2024

Mango trees are a common plant in Indonesia. In 2021, 2.84 million tonnes of mangoes were produced in Indonesia, according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). You can eat mangoes either ripe or unripe. Additionally, this fruit can be turned into meals and beverages. Many farmers grow mango plants, however, Some illnesses can infect mangoes and lead to crop failure or poor fruit quality. Fungal infections like anthracnose and black fungus, often known as black fungus, affect mango plants, but many farmers continue to mistakenly believe they are identifying plant illnesses and pests. To the type of disease in mango plants, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method was applied in this study. It has been demonstrated that CNN is a very efficient way of processing images and identifying key elements for intricate pattern recognition. A total of 1,405 leaf photos from three different categories—525 anthracnose images, 656 black sooty mold images, and 224 healthy images—were used as samples for CNN to identify illnesses in mango plants. This image data was taken from the kaggle.com website. The CNN model is trained using distinct datasets into training data and validation data after data collection and preprocessing. On training data, the model is 95% accurate, while on validation data, it is 98% accurate. By feeding photos of mango leaves into the model and evaluating the predictions, the detection is put into practice. Action can be taken to control the illness in these mango trees based on prediction findings showing the presence of disease with a decent amount of confidence

Published: January 2024

Every business, but particularly those in the industrial sector, have what is known as inventory. In order for the business to survive and carry on with production, inventory is crucial. Inventory control makes sure that products and resources don't run out of stock or become overstocked, which could lead to higher inventory costs and a halt in production. A business engaged in manufacturing is called PT. X. Hinge Upper Assy is one of the products that PT. X manufactures. Overproduction of raw materials caused issues for the hinge upper assembly material during the process, raising the overall cost of inventory. The EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) approach is one inventory control technique that determines overall inventory costs. The EOQ approach takes into account the frequency of orders, the amount of orders per order, safety stock, and reorder points in addition to inventory costs. The purpose of this study was to determine the overall cost of inventory at PT. X using the EOQ approach, as well as the frequency and quantity of orders, safety stock value, and reorder points. The study's findings indicate that the overall cost of inventory with EOQ is IDR 2,500,752.00, with a frequency of orders placed twice and a quantity per order of 20167 pieces, safety stock of 3242.28, and a reorder point of 3257 pieces. When comparing the EOQ approach to the company's traditional method, there was a 63% savings in total inventory expenses.

Published: January 2024

Passenger boats are a means of transportation that is used to transport passengers to a destination. One of them is a boat for passengers to visit the religious tour of Sheikh Mudzakir's grave. The religious tourism location of Sheikh Mudzakir's grave is located about 2 km north of Blekok Island. However, this passenger boat still relies on fuel oil as fuel to drive the passenger boat's combustion engine. Research on electric boats was carried out by several students at Semarang University. This electric boat uses solar panel technology installed on it to harvest solar energy and convert it into electricity which is stored in batteries to move the boat. This electric boat uses a 3 Phase 1 HP 4 Pole electric motor that uses solar charge control and an inverter as a converter from 12 V DC to 380 V AC. Using a 3 Phase Electric Motor requires a large amount of electricity, because it requires electricity that must be converted to voltage. high, will result in high loss, so that the efficiency of battery use is relatively wasteful. The aim of this research is to carry out tests using a 4 kW 72 Volt BLDC Motor as an alternative solution to replace previous research which used a 3 Phase 1 HP Motor on an electric passenger boat. The results show that the motor rotation of a 4 kW 72 Volt BLDC motor tends to be greater than using a 3 Phase 1 HP electric motor and a 9 HP fuel engine, where previous research showed that the speed of an electric boat can only reach a maximum speed of 4.4 Knots at high mode gas level. , while using a 4 kW 72 Volt BLDC motor it can reach a speed of 8 Knots, which is a huge improvement. Very suitable for using a 4 kW 72 Volt BLDC motor on a 1GT electric boat

The Index of Intrusion Control (IIC): Capturing individual variability in intentional intrusion control in the laboratory
Authors: Ashton Stephanie M. , Gagnepain Pierre , Davidson Per , Hellerstedt Robin , Satish Akul , Smeets Tom , Quaedflieg Conny W. E. M.
Published: January 2024

Intrusive memories can be downregulated using intentional memory control, as measured via the Think/No-Think paradigm. In this task, participants retrieve or suppress memories in response to an associated reminder cue. After each suppression trial, participants rate whether the association intruded into awareness. Previous research has found that repeatedly exerting intentional control over memory intrusions reduces their frequency. This decrease is often summarised with a linear index, which may miss more complex patterns characterising the temporal dynamics of intrusion control. The goal of this paper is to propose a novel metric of intrusion control that captures those dynamic changes over time as a single index. Results from a mega-analysis of published datasets revealed that the change in intrusion frequencies across time is not purely linear, but also includes non-linear dynamics that seem best captured by a log function of the number of suppression attempts. To capture those linear and non-linear dynamics, we propose the Index of Intrusion Control (IIC), which relies on the integral of intrusion changes across suppression attempts. Simulations revealed that the IIC best captured the linear and non-linear dynamics of intrusion suppression when compared with other linear or non-linear indexes of control, such as the regression slope or Spearman correlation, respectively. Our findings demonstrate how the IIC may therefore act as a more reliable metric to capture individual differences in intrusion control, and examine the role of non-linear dynamics characterizing the conscious access to unwanted memories.

Using meditation as a method of psychological self-regulation
Authors: Солянкина Л.Е. , Евдокимов О.К.
Published: January 2024

В данной статье рассматривается проблема использования медитативных практик в практической психологии и психотерапии. Особое внимание уделено феномену концентрации как неотъемлемой части медитативного процесса. Рассмотрены четыре типа концентрации в процессе медитации: концентрация на мантре, которая представляет собой набор звуков, выстроенных в определенной последовательности, или стих, который следует произносить с определенной интонацией; концентрация на визуализации, когда в процессе медитации выбирается объект представления, на котором и концентрируется внимание; концентрация внимания на тратаке, то есть на определенном объекте действительности, и телесно-ориентированная концентрация, которая представляет собой сосредоточение на внутренних процессах, в частности на дыхании. Описаны различные типы дыхания и их влияние на организм. Кроме того, рассмотрены два таких наиболее изученных вида медитации, как медитация осознанности и трансцендентальная медитация. Благодаря Джону Кабат-Зинну, который одним из первых заинтересовался медитацией с точки зрения научного подхода, медитация осознанности получила научное обоснование и легла в основу различных методик, в частности Mindfulnes Based Stress Reduction и Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, которые активно используются на Западе. Описаны результаты исследований Элизабет Ходж и Сары Лазар, показывающие влияние трансцендентной медитации на снижение стресса.

This article discusses using meditative practices in practical psychology and psychotherapy. The paper discusses the phenomenon of concentration as an integral part of the meditation process. It considers four types of concentration in meditative practices: concentration on a mantra (a set of sounds arranged in a certain sequence), or a verse that should be pronounced with a certain intonation; concentration on visualization, when in the process of meditation an object of representation is selected; concentration of attention on trataka (on a certain object of reality), and body-oriented concentration, which is concentration on internal processes, in particular on breathing. Various types of breathing and their effects on the body are described. Besides, two of the most widely analyzed types of meditation are considered: mindfulness meditation and transcendental meditation. Thanks to Jon Kabat-Zinn, who was one of the first to become interested in meditation from a scientific approach, mindfulness meditation received scientific justification and formed the basis of various techniques, in particular Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, which are actively used in the West. The article describes the results of research by Elizabeth Hoge and Sarah Lazar showing the effect of transcendental meditation on stress reduction.

Статья посвящена актуальной проблеме формирования у детей младшего школьного возраста с расстройствами аутистического спектра (далее — РАС) эмоционального интеллекта, который во многом способствует их успешной социальной адаптации. В специальной психологии наблюдается дефицит прикладных исследований, направленных на разработку коррекционных технологий для развития эмоциональной сферы младших школьников с данными расстройствами, несмотря на то, что нарушения эмоционально-волевой сферы составляют ядро дефекта при асинхронном типе дизонтогенеза. В статье описаны общие характеристики понимания, идентификации, саморегуляции, использования эмоций для повышения эффективности регуляции поведения младших школьников, имеющих расстройства аутистического спектра. Представлена авторская критериально-ориентированная система диагностики эмоционального интеллекта младших школьников с расстройствами аутистического спектра, направленная на выявление индивидуально-типических особенностей эмоционального интеллекта и оценку эффективности его формирования. Раскрыты специфические индивидуально-типические особенности эмоционального интеллекта учащихся начальных классов с РАС согласно критериально-ориентированному подходу и комплексная программа его развития, основанная на учете этих особенностей. Обоснована эффективность отмеченной комплексной программы в развитии таких показателей эмоционального интеллекта, как идентификация и понимание эмоций.

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of developing emotional intelligence in primary school children age with ASD, which largely contributes to their successful social adaptation. In special psychology, we observe obvious lack of applied research aimed at developing correctional technologies for development of the emotional sphere in primary schoolchildren with autistic disorders, despite the fact that disorders in the emotional-volitional sphere constitute the core of the defect in the asynchronous type of dysontogenesis. The present article describes the general characteristics of understanding, identification, self-regulation, and the use of emotions to increase efficiency of behavior regulation in primary schoolchildren with ASD. The author’s criterion-oriented system for diagnosing the emotional intelligence in primary schoolchildren with ASD is aimed at identifying individual and typical characteristics of emotional intelligence and assessing the effectiveness of its formation. We show the specific individual and typical features of emotional intelligence of primary school students with ASD in keeping with the criterion-oriented approach and a comprehensive program for its development, based on taking into account these features. The research substantiates the effectiveness of this specific comprehensive program in the development of such indicators of emotional intelligence as identification and understanding of emotions.

Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Back Ae Song
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to find the significance of writing education for foreign students by sharing the writing method conducted in the  class conducted as a customized curriculum for foreign students. For foreign students, it is important to facilitate communication, but it is also an important part of accurate writing. Among actual speaking, reading, writing, and listening, foreign students are complaining of the most difficulties in the field of ‘writing’.
Accordingly, Chapter 2 analyzed the writing expansion process of foreign student learners. In four stages, foreign students carefully examined their own writings and examined in detail the process of recognizing themselves through writing in Korean. It was confirmed that the first stage of “understanding the meaning of meaningful words,” the second stage of “making sentences,” the third stage of “writing a completed article using a paragraph,” and the fourth stage of “stamping” increased learners’ confidence and self-cultivation.
In the third chapter, the improvement plan to improve the necessary improvement of foreign students.The first is a method of providing self-directed writing ability to function while using PBL.Second is to operate a customized tube for foreign students.Through tuning, foreign students can promote writing and communication capabilities related to his depression and communication skills related to his department.If this improvement plan is provided, learners can increase academic achievement of learners’ academic achievement and more professional.
It is necessary to learn successful universities by overcome difficulties in college students, not only writing difficulties to communicate with synchronization, but also need to communicate with synchronization with synchronization.In that various learning laws, it is necessary to effectively discussions in terms of various learning laws and empirical approaches.
Improvement of Academic Literacy among Undergraduate International Students: Focusing on extracurricular program
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Lee Jian , Lee Eunhee
Published: January 2024

This study began with the consideration of extracurricular program operation of A University. The previous semester's program confirmed that a balanced development of basic communication skills, socio-cultural adaptation skills, and academic abilities among undergraduate international students was required, and the process was re-designed as an integrated activity between BICS(Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills) and CALP(Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency). A survey conducted at the end of the program confirmed that this program helped undergraduate international students adapt to college life, understand Korean society and culture, and improve their communication, reading, writing, and listening skills. It was confirmed that the strengthening of these basic communication skills could have a positive effect on university students’ academic performance and further contribute to improving academic literacy.
This study can be used as basic data for extracurricular programs for undergraduate international students. In addition, expanding the content and category of the program by linking the subject can help improve the academic literacy of undergraduate international students in various aspects. However, since this was a short-term case of a specific university, follow-up studies using longer-term cases should be conducted to accumulate practical data.
Educational implication through comparison of Korean beginner textbook reading text structure: With a focus on rhetorical structure characteristics
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Choi Yushin
Published: January 2024

This study compared and analyzed rhetorical structure to solidify text hierarchization according to the Rhetorical Structure theory in Korean elementary textbooks. Therefore, 70% of Korean beginner reading text suggests that it needs to be composed with a center of joint, sequence, elaboration, and cause and effect relationship. Likewise, schematic relationship appearing with semantic relationship, needs to be composed to appear incomplete three-stage composition and complex deformation structure, and an educational effect may exist in various language functions. Based on this result, this study helps set the foundation for Korean beginner reading text hierarchization.
OppaSakak from the perspective of “Place of Memory”
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Lee Mi-jung
Published: January 2024

In this study, the children’s song OppaSakak was premised as a place of memory.
First, I attempted to examine the significance of OppaSakak at the time and how it was “remembered.” First, OppaSakak was significant at the time because Choi Soon-ae, who wrote the song, was a “Juvenile Writer.” Juvenile writers developed into professional writers in the process of posting as readers of newspapers and magazines. Second, it was significant because of the emergence of female subjects. At this time, the female subject referred to a woman as a writer and a woman who expressed her desire. Third, it was significant in that “Oppa” can symbolize the liberation of the country.
OppaSakak, which was included in Eorini in November 1925, is still sufficiently popular to be called “National Children’s Song”. At this time, OppaSakak was present as a memory of a group that brought out the identity of Koreans or Koreans.
Cho Hyang’s Poetics Research
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Um Sung Won
Published: January 2024

This study provides a diachronic overview of Cho Hyang’s poetics and traces the meaning of the unique surrealist ideas he pursued. He did not unilaterally accept Western surrealism, but tried to transform it in his own way and pioneer our own surrealism.
Cho Hyang did not recognize a single signified and worked hard to dismantle it, and aimed for pure freedom by destroying existing ideas and liberating humans from reason and rationality. In addition, he chose Surrealist aesthetics to overcome Dada, and through this he explored the language of the unconscious rather than a rationalistic language based on reason.
The reason he paid attention to psychoanalysis is because it criticizes modern reason, focusing on the exploration of the unconscious. Although he placed importance on the image itself, on the other hand, he did not give up the world of meaning and believed that the harmful effects of modern industrial society could be overcome through the primitivism of surrealism.
The dynamics of foster care in the Kingdom of Eswatini: Benefits, challenges, and strategies for effective foster parenting
Authors: Mpofu Phumuzani , Machingauta Tatenda Thelma
Published: January 2024

The study investigated the experience and challenges faced by children raised by foster parents in the Kingdom of Eswatini. It employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design guided by a transformative paradigm, which was fitting as it necessitated the direct participation of those being researched in the data generation process. A sample size of 15 participants was conveniently selected from the target population. Two research instruments, focus group discussions and interviews, were used to collect data, as they enabled the researchers to gather meaningful information through the participants' lived experiences. The Cultural History Activity Theory (CHAT) served as the theoretical framework for the study. The findings indicated that foster children experienced improved living standards, received attention to their emotional needs, enjoyed safety, and had access to care at the foster home. However, challenges such as adaptation issues, psychological difficulties, family disruption, and reintegration were prevalent among children in foster homes. Strategies identified from the study included training, assessment, reintegration, establishment of a legal framework, and assistance. The study concludes that while children raised in foster care often have better living standards, they may develop a dependency syndrome, making it challenging for them to adapt to life after ageing out of foster care.
A Note on the Flattop Velocity Distribution in Space Plasmas
Authors: Zenitani Seiji
Published: January 2024

A flattop velocity distribution is one of the most characteristic distributions in space plasmas. I discuss its properties using the generalized beta-prime distribution. Then I present a sampling algorithm for generating the flattop distribution in particle-in-cell and Monte Carlo simulations.
Non-detection of Radio Pulsations in the High-mass X-Ray Binary V0332+53 During Quiescence
Authors: van den Eijnden Jakob , Rajwade Kaustubh
Published: January 2024

Following recent discoveries of ultra-long-period radio-loud neutron stars located beyond death line models in the pulsar period-period derivative diagram, we performed a radio pulsation search in the high-mass X-ray binary V0332+53 during quiescence. Although the period and magnetic field of the neutron star in this binary make it the most promising high-mass X-ray binary to explore for this purpose, the GBT observations do not reveal radio pulsations. Here, We present the duty-cycle-dependent flux density limits on the presence of any pulsations and briefly discuss its possible origins: the intrinsic absence or faintness of pulsations, the presence of low-level residual accretion, or eclipses and/or pulse scattering due to the presence of a massive binary companion.
Virial Velocities for Stellar Flybys with Planetary Disks in Star Formation Regions
Authors: Jiménez-Torres Juan J. , Alvarez-Candal Alvaro
Published: January 2024

In this work, we show the effect of different velocities of stellar encounters with planetary disks to support the use of virial or constant velocities in simulations of typical star-forming clusters; the variety of observed member velocity values in such objects can cause concern when selecting velocities for simulations. In this work, we employ different velocities from 1.5 to 10 km s−1 with constant flyby masses, approach distances, and impact angles for encounters with a disk. We found that these velocities produce similar results, which suggests that such simulations can use virial or constant velocities without loss of accuracy.
