The Use of Camouflaged Cell Phone Towers for a Quality Urban Environment
Authors: Yahya Salah I.
Published: May 2019

The widespread use of cell phones has led to cell phone towers being located in many communities. These towers, also called base stations, incorporate electronic equipment and antennas that receive and transmit radiofrequency signals. Along with the towers, used for TV and line of sight microwave communication, the proliferation of these base stations is having a detrimental effect on urban esthetics. It is highly recommended for developing urban areas to consider the problem of these unsightly towers as a form of visual pollution, which increases in parallel with the rise of human population density, and also, the possible electromagnetic field (EMF) hazard due to the existence of the cell phone towers in the residential areas. This paper presents the feasibility of using camouflaged cell phone towers to improve the quality of the urban environment. Cell phone towers disguised as trees might address the visual pollution, while, at the same time, might also mitigate the possible EMF hazard by installing these disguised towers in free spaces, rather than on the roof of buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. The feasibility of implementing such a scenario for a quality urban environment in Koya city is discussed.

During the development stage, provision of transportation infrastructure is ven; important. It contnbutesto the regional economy and makes economic development more inclusive by giving directand indirect effects. The aim of research wants to know the role of road infrastructure to regionaleconomy in long term periods.Having panel data in the regional level (province) which is 26 provinces and a 14-year time series(1993-2006), variables that are used in this stud!; are GDP as the output measurement, labor forceand capital stock which is divided into road capital stock and non road capital stock. Road capitalstock itself is comprised of national, province and city road capital stock.Based on the model in analysis, we can say road infrastructure has significant contributions to theregional econonn; where city roads give the highest contnbution to the regional econonn;. In addition,based on the time lag model, we can see that the investment in road development will have a significanteffect on GDP in the curre11t year, as well as in the following .few years, but the effect diminishesover time. However, the significant contnbution of road development to GDP only remains for 1 yearfor all types of road.Some polictj implications that can be proposed from the above analysis are: it is still necessary toincrease the development of road infrastructure in order to provide good accessibility for all regions inIndonesia; so government should give priorihJ to develop city and province roads rather than nationalroads to increase the regional output (regional GDP). On the other hand government shouldmake it a priority to develop strategies for the development of road infrastructure based on the specificneeds of each region so it will be more effective and efficient in encouraging regional economic growthand, ultimately, in enhancing high economic growth in Indonesia as a whole.Key words: road infrastructure, regional econonn1

Getting learners to speak in the (Indonesian) ELT Classroom
Authors: Timmis Ivor
Published: May 2019

Despite realising the importance of acquiring good speaking skill, English teachers in Indonesia find that it is challenging to get their learners to speak during classes. Potential reasons for reticence are: their lack of vocabulary, dependency of L1 translation, and tendency to give short answers. Therefore, it is crucial to provide the teachers with practical techniques that they can use in their daily teaching to address this reticence. By providing scaffolding to the speaking activities, which includes how to structure the speaking activities and prepare the learners before the activities, the teacher can make speaking tasks more productive for learners. Moreover, the amount of scaffolding can be adjusted to suit the characteristics and needs of the learners to create better and lasting impact.

A few theoretical perspectives have been taken under consideration the meaning of an object as the result of a process in mathematical thinking. Building on their work, I shall investigate the meaning of ‘object’ in a dynamic geometry environment. Using the recently introduced notions of dynamic-hybrid objects, diagrams and sections which complement our understanding of geometric processes and concepts as we perform actions in the dynamic software, I shall explain what could be considered to be a ‘procept-in-action’. Finally, a few examples will be analyzed through the lenses of hybrid and dynamic objects in terms of how I designed them. A few snapshots of the research process will be presented to reinforce the theoretical considerations. My aim is to contribute to the field of the Didactics of Mathematics using ICT in relation to students’ cognitive development

Methods: A total of 1000 elderly patients with chronic diseases in our health center were randomly selected as the study subject. Questionnaire survey was conducted by self-designed questionnaire. The SF-36 quality of life scale was used to evaluate their quality of life; and linear regression model was used to explore the relevant influencing factors. Result: The SF-36 score showed that there was a correlation between the six dimensions, including overall health, physiological function, somatic pain, vitality, social function and mental health, and the number of chronic diseases in elderly patients. With the increase of chronic diseases, the scores of each dimension showed a downward trend. Linear regression analysis showed that age, anxiety and poor sleep quality were the main factors affecting the quality of life in elderly patients with chronic diseases. Conclusion: The quality of life of elderly patients with chronic diseases in our city is poor. In community work, targeted nursing and intervention should be given according to the types of diseases suffered by the elderly.

Cooperation in large-scale human societies -- What, if anything, makes it unique, and how did it evolve?
Authors: Powers Simon T. , van Schaik Carel P. , Lehmann Laurent
Published: May 2019

To resolve the major controversy about why prosocial behaviors persist in large-scale human societies, we propose that two questions need to be answered. First, how do social interactions in small-scale and large-scale societies differ? By reviewing the exchange and collective-action dilemmas in both small-scale and large-scale societies, we show they are not different. Second, are individual decision-making mechanisms driven by self-interest? We extract from the literature three types of individual decision-making mechanism, which differ in their social influence and sensitivity to self-interest, to conclude that humans interacting with non-relatives are largely driven by self-interest. We then ask: what was the key mechanism that allowed prosocial behaviors to continue as societies grew? We show the key role played by new social interaction mechanisms -- change in the rules of exchange and collective-action dilemmas -- devised by the interacting individuals, which allow for self-interested individuals to remain prosocial as societies grow.

Published: May 2019

The purpose of this study was to obtain information about genetic parameters of agronomic characters of sorghum lines developed by Single Seed Descent as information for yield improvement through selection. The research was conducted from July to October 2014 in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia with an altitude of ± 240 m above sea level and a temperature of 27°C. The genetic materials used consisted of 201 RILs F5, and Numbu, Samurai-1, and Samurai-2 (national varieties), and a mutant B69 as check varieties. The experimental design used was augmented design. The results showed that the RILs F5 significantly different in the characters of seed filling period, plant height, leaf number, panicle length, circumference panicle, panicle weight, and grain weight panicle-1. High broad sense heritability values and broad genetic diversity were observed in the character of the seed filling period, plant height, leaf number, panicle length, circumference panicle, panicle weight and grain weight panicle-1. There were RILs F5 which have higher yield than the two parents and are uniform with lower within line variance. Selection was conducted based on grain weight panicle-1 increased 35.3% yield, but at the same time increased plant height by 5%. Simultaneous selection by grain weight panicle-1 and plant height increased yield by 21% and reduced plant height by -6.9%. This gives the opportunity to obtain shorter high yielding varieties.
Some Common Misconceptions about STEM Education
Authors: Azra Ḥafṣa Azalea
Published: May 2019

As organizations worldwide continue to invest in science, technology, engineering and math initiatives, and as students take a higher interest in technical careers, you would expect the number of educational institutions responding to the workplace’s increasing demand for technical talent would naturally increase, right? Wrong. In fact, STEM is still not even on the roadmaps of many educational institutions--a reality that inhibits students from achieving meaningful learning experiences and becoming 21st century career ready. This is in large part due to some common misconceptions about STEM education.
Personality, resilience, and psychopathology: A model for the interaction between slow and fast network processes in the context of mental health
Authors: Lunansky Gabriela , van Borkulo Claudia D. , Borsboom Denny
Published: May 2019

Network theories have been put forward for psychopathology (in which mental disorders originate from causal relations between symptoms) and for personality (in which personality factors originate from coupled equilibria of cognitions, affect states, behaviors, and environments). Here, we connect these theoretical strands in an overarching Personality-Resilience-Psychopathology (PRP) model. In this model, factors in personality networks control the shape of the dynamical landscape in which symptom networks evolve; for example, the neuroticism item “I often feel blue” measures a general tendency to experience negative affect, which is hypothesized to influence the threshold parameter of the symptom “Depressed Mood” in the psychopathology network. Conversely, events at the level of the fast-evolving psychopathology network (e.g., a depressive episode), can influence the slow-evolving personality variables (e.g., by increasing feelings of worthlessness). We apply the theory to neuroticism and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Through simulations, we show that the model can accommodate important phenomena, such as the strong relation between neuroticism and depression, and individual differences in the change of neuroticism levels and development of depression over time. The results of the simulation are implemented in an online, interactive tool. Implications for research into the relationship between personality and psychopathology are discussed.

This theoretical framework was developed with a review of spatially and temporally distributed literature mostly in the American and European cultural context, and is assumed to be culturally universal. However, awe as described by Japanese literature, was not explicitly included in the original theorization. We tested whether this framework generalized to the Japanese context by analyzing how Japanese awe-related words (e.g., “畏敬/ikei”) are used in Japanese text. A topic model was used to extract topics in contexts as an index of meaning. Results show that (1) the meaning of awe was statistically dissociable from similar but distinct meanings of fear and respect, and (2) the dissociating topics included transcendent entities such as god, spirits/ghosts, and powerful beings. Japanese meaning of awe includes vastness (i.e., transcendence) that goes beyond typical respect (i.e., power distance) requiring an accommodation of one’s mental framework.

The Target Article by Lee et al. (2019) highlights the ways in which ongoing concerns about research reproducibility extend to model-based approaches in cognitive science. Whereas Lee et al. focus primarily on the importance of research practices to improve model robustness, we propose that the transparent sharing of model specifications, including their inputs and outputs, is also essential to improving the reproducibility of model-based analyses. We outline an ongoing effort (within the context of the Brain Imaging Data Structure community) to develop standards for the sharing of the structure of computational models and their outputs.
Math anxiety relates positively to metacognitive insight into mathematical test performance
Authors: Desender Kobe , Sasanguie Delphine
Published: May 2019

The current study reports a pre-registered investigation into the interrelations between mathematics anxiety, metacognition and mathematical performance. Although this question has already received some attention in previous work, reliance on self-report measures of metacognition has hindered its interpretation. Here, a novel experimental mathematical task was used in which participants solved mathematical assignments of varying difficulty, and expressed their level of confidence in the accuracy of their decision both prospectively and retrospectively. Mathematics anxiety was measured using a standardized questionnaire. Both prospective and retrospective confidence judgments predicted unique variation in accuracy, however, the explanatory effect of prospective confidence disappeared after taking task difficulty into account. This suggests that prospective, but not retrospective, confidence is largely based on superficial cues indicative of performance. Results of a multiple regression analysis indicated that individual differences in mathematics anxiety were negatively related to the overall level of confidence (both prospectively and retrospectively), and positively related to metacognitive efficiency (only prospectively). Having insight in these interrelationships is important in the context of remediating mathematics anxiety, which might in turn be useful with regard to the worldwide need for more workers with degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).
Item Response Model from a Distance Perspective
Authors: Budiaji Weksi
Published: May 2019

There are two frameworks of models in item response theory (IRT), unipolar and bipolar models. The bipolar models usually use a distance approach, but this approach has not yet been applied in the unipolar models. Five examples of unipolar models are the Rasch, the two parameter logistic (2PL) model, the rating scale model (RSM), the multidimensional Rasch model (MRM), and the multidimensional 2PL model (M2PLM). We will show that unipolar models can also be built using distances. Therefore, the Ideal Point Classfication (IPC) model is used. The parameters of the IPC model are linearly related to those of the unipolar models. The item midpoint positions and the person positions in the IPC model are the shrinkage version of the location parameters and the ability parameters, respectively.

Family’s Migration Experience and Distress Among Asian-Canadian Immigrant Youth
Authors: Moon Jeongyoon , Ruiz-Casares Mónica
Published: May 2019

Asian immigrant parents often expect their children to pursue higher education and to succeed academically; this may be reinforced as parents lose social status upon arrival to the host country. In response, Asian immigrant youth often experience psychological distress and alienation from their parents. We studied Asian immigrant youth’s exposure to parental expectations and parents’ struggles post-migration to Canada, in conjunction with Asian immigrant youth’s career and academic choices and level of distress. Forty-nine first- and second-generation Asian immigrant university students from a single Canadian university institution completed an on-line survey assessing their migration trajectory, parents’ expectation and influence in choosing their field of study, and distress. Parental difficulties and participants’ awareness of those were highly correlated with perceptions of high parental expectations and filial piety. Whereas second-generation youth focused more on how they received direct pressure from parents to succeed according to parental standards, first-generation youth placed higher emphasis on how their own awareness of parental difficulties acted as a source of internal motivation. The average depression score of first-generation respondents was significantly higher than that of second-generation respondents, and association between family’s financial struggle and guilt was observed. This study provides insight on possible contributors to distress in Asian immigrant youth related to parental expectations and struggles post-migration.

Finding anatomical variability of organs, structures and their parts at all the stages of human development is rather topical. Determination of organometric parameters of the hard palate in fetuses and newborns is an essential part for perinatal diagnostics and understanding real parameters of the norm and pathology. Purpose of the study is to find organometric parameters of the palatine maxillary process and horizontal lamina of the palatine bone during fetal and early neonatal periods of human ontogenesis. By means of adequate anatomical methods of examination the study was conducted on 53 specimens of dead fetuses from 4 to 10 months of fetal development (from 165.0 mm to 500.0 mm of the parietal-calcaneal length (PCL)) and 9 specimens of dead neonates. The length of the palatine maxillary process during the perinatal period was found to be characterized by the two periods of accelerated development (5-7 and 8-10 months), and the period of relatively slow development (7-8 months). Its width was found to be characterized by the two period of accelerated development (5-7 and 9-10 months), and relatively slow development (7-8 months). The length of the horizontal lamina of the palatine bone is characterized by the period of accelerated development from 8 to 10 months, and the period of relatively slow development from 7 to 8 months. Meanwhile 5-8 and 9-10 months were the periods of accelerated development for its width, and 8-9 months – the period of relatively slow development for it. During fetal and early neonatal periods of human ontogenesis the value of all the paired correlation coefficients between organometric parameters of the palatine maxillary process (hard palate) and horizontal lamina of the palatine bone are positive and rather close to 1 (>0.84), which is indicative of a close positive correlation between all the organometric parameters. Very strong relation is found between the length of the hard palate and its width in the right and left (r=0.92), between the length of the hard palate and palatine bone (r=0.97), between the length of the palatine bone and the width of the hard palate in the right (r=0.91) and in the left (r=0.90). Therefore, by means of adequate anatomical methods of examination new scientifically substantiated data are obtained concerning organometric characteristics of anatomical structures of the hard palate at all the stages of perinatal period.
