Authors: Silalahi Divo Dharma , Midi Habshah , Arasan Jayanthi , Mustafa Mohd Shafie , Caliman Jean-Pierre
Published: March 2021

Multivariate statistical analysis such as partial least square regression (PLSR) is the common data processing technique used to handle high-dimensional data space on near-infrared (NIR) spectral datasets. The PLSR is useful to tackle the multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity problem that can be commonly found in such data space. With the problem of the nonlinear structure in the original input space, the use of the classical PLSR model might not be appropriate. In addition, the contamination of multiple outliers and high leverage points (HLPs) in the dataset could further damage the model. Generally, HLPs contain both good leverage points (GLPs) and bad leverage points (BLPs); therefore, in this case, removing the BLPs seems relevant since it has a significant impact on the parameter estimates and can slow down the convergence process. On the other hand, the GLPs provide a good efficiency in the model calibration process; thus, they should not be eliminated. In this study, robust alternatives to the existing kernel partial least square (KPLS) regression, which are called the kernel partial robust GM6-estimator (KPRGM6) regression and the kernel partial robust modified GM6-estimator (KPRMGM6) regression are introduced. The nonlinear solution on PLSR was handled through kernel-based learning by nonlinearly projecting the original input data matrix into a high-dimensional feature mapping that corresponded to the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS). To increase the robustness, the improvements on GM6 estimators are presented with the nonlinear PLSR. Based on the investigation using several artificial dataset scenarios from Monte Carlo simulations and two sets from the near-infrared (NIR) spectral dataset, the proposed robust KPRMGM6 is found to be superior to the robust KPRGM6 and non-robust KPLS.
Artificial Symmetries for Calculating Vibrational Energies of Linear Molecules
Authors: Mellor Thomas M. , Yurchenko Sergei N. , Jensen Per
Published: March 2021

Linear molecules usually represent a special case in rotational-vibrational calculations due to a singularity of the kinetic energy operator that arises from the rotation about the a (the principal axis of least moment of inertia, becoming the molecular axis at the linear equilibrium geometry) being undefined. Assuming the standard ro-vibrational basis functions, in the 3N−6 approach, of the form ∣ν1,ν2,ν3ℓ3;J,k,m⟩, tackling the unique difficulties of linear molecules involves constraining the vibrational and rotational functions with k=ℓ3, which are the projections, in units of ℏ, of the corresponding angular momenta onto the molecular axis. These basis functions are assigned to irreducible representations (irreps) of the C2v(M) molecular symmetry group. This, in turn, necessitates purpose-built codes that specifically deal with linear molecules. In the present work, we describe an alternative scheme and introduce an (artificial) group that ensures that the condition ℓ3=k is automatically applied solely through symmetry group algebra. The advantage of such an approach is that the application of symmetry group algebra in ro-vibrational calculations is ubiquitous, and so this method can be used to enable ro-vibrational calculations of linear molecules in polyatomic codes with fairly minimal modifications. To this end, we construct a—formally infinite—artificial molecular symmetry group D∞h(AEM), which consists of one-dimensional (non-degenerate) irreducible representations and use it to classify vibrational and rotational basis functions according to ℓ and k. This extension to non-rigorous, artificial symmetry groups is based on cyclic groups of prime-order. Opposite to the usual scenario, where the form of symmetry adapted basis sets is dictated by the symmetry group the molecule belongs to, here the symmetry group D∞h(AEM) is built to satisfy properties for the convenience of the basis set construction and matrix elements calculations. We believe that the idea of purpose-built artificial symmetry groups can be useful in other applications.
Nonequilibrium Dynamics of the Chiral Quark Condensate under a Strong Magnetic Field
Authors: Krein Gastão , Miller Carlisson
Published: March 2021

Strong magnetic fields impact quantum-chromodynamics (QCD) properties in several situations; examples include the early universe, magnetars, and heavy-ion collisions. These examples share a common trait—time evolution. A prominent QCD property impacted by a strong magnetic field is the quark condensate, an approximate order parameter of the QCD transition between a high-temperature quark-gluon phase and a low-temperature hadronic phase. We use the linear sigma model with quarks to address the quark condensate time evolution under a strong magnetic field. We use the closed time path formalism of nonequilibrium quantum field theory to integrate out the quarks and obtain a mean-field Langevin equation for the condensate. The Langevin equation features dissipation and noise kernels controlled by a damping coefficient. We compute the damping coefficient for magnetic field and temperature values achieved in peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions and solve the Langevin equation for a temperature quench scenario. The magnetic field changes the dissipation and noise pattern by increasing the damping coefficient compared to the zero-field case. An increased damping coefficient increases fluctuations and time scales controlling condensate’s short-time evolution, a feature that can impact hadron formation at the QCD transition. The formalism developed here can be extended to include other order parameters, hydrodynamic modes, and system’s expansion to address magnetic field effects in complex settings as heavy-ion collisions, the early universe, and magnetars.

Published: March 2021

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) has emerged as a potentially efficacious agent for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP), a prevalent, debilitating condition often resistant to analgesics. This randomized, double-blind, dose-finding study was undertaken to explore safety and trends in efficacy of four TTX doses and to identify a dose for further study. One hundred and twenty-five patients with taxane- or platinum-related CINP received subcutaneous placebo or TTX (7.5 µg twice daily (BID), 15 µg BID, 30 µg once daily (QD), 30 µg BID) for four consecutive days. Primary outcome measure was average patient-reported Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score during Days 21–28 post-treatment. Changes in mean NPRS score were not statistically different between cohorts, due to small trial size and influence of a few robust placebo responders. Cumulative responder analysis showed significant difference from placebo with 30 µg BID cohort using the maximum response at any timepoint (p = 0.072), 5-day (p = 0.059), 10-day (p = 0.027), and 20-day (p = 0.071) rolling averages. In secondary quality of life (QOL) outcomes, 30 µg BID cohort also differed significantly from placebo in a number of SF-36 and CIPN20 subscales. Most adverse events (AE) were mild or moderate with oral paresthesia (29.6%) and oral hypoesthesia (24.8%) as most common.

Enveloped viruses hijack not only the host translation processes, but also its glycosylation machinery, and to a variable extent cover viral surface proteins with tolerogenic host-like structures. SARS-CoV-2 surface protein S presents as a trimer on the viral surface and is covered by a dense shield of N-linked glycans, and a few O-glycosites have been reported. The location of O-glycans is controlled by a large family of initiating enzymes with variable expression in cells and tissues and hence is difficult to predict. Here, we used our well-established O-glycoproteomic workflows to map the precise positions of O-linked glycosylation sites on three different entities of protein S—insect cell or human cell-produced ectodomains, or insect cell derived receptor binding domain (RBD). In total 25 O-glycosites were identified, with similar patterns in the two ectodomains of different cell origin, and a distinct pattern of the monomeric RBD. Strikingly, 16 out of 25 O-glycosites were located within three amino acids from known N-glycosites. However, O-glycosylation was primarily found on peptides that were unoccupied by N-glycans, and otherwise had low overall occupancy. This suggests possible complementary functions of O-glycans in immune shielding and negligible effects of O-glycosylation on subunit vaccine design for SARS-CoV-2.

Diverse paramyxoviruses have coevolved with their bat hosts, including fruit bats such as flying foxes (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae). Several of these viruses are zoonotic, but the diversity and distribution of Paramyxoviridae are poorly understood. We screened pooled feces samples from three Pteropus vampyrus colonies and assayed tissues, rectal swabs, and oral swabs from 95 individuals of 23 pteropodid species sampled at 17 sites across the Indonesian archipelago with a conventional paramyxovirus PCR; all tested negative. Samples from 43 individuals were screened with next generation sequencing (NGS), and a single Pteropus vampyrus collected near Flores had Tioman virus sequencing reads. Tioman virus is a bat-borne virus in the genus Pararubulavirus with prior evidence of spillover to humans. This work expands the known range of Tioman virus, and it is likely that this isolated colony likely has sustained intergenerational transmission over a long period.

Published: March 2021

This paper introduces a case study on the potential of new mechatronic chassis systems for battery electric vehicles, in this case a brake-by-wire (BBW) system and in-wheel propulsion on the rear axle combined with an integrated chassis control providing common safety features like anti-lock braking system (ABS), and enhanced functionalities, like torque blending. The presented controller was intended to also show the potential of continuous control strategies with regard to active safety, vehicle stability and driving comfort. Therefore, an integral sliding mode (ISM) and proportional integral (PI) control were used for wheel slip control (WSC) and benchmarked against each other and against classical used rule-based approach. The controller was realized in MatLab/Simulink and tested under real-time conditions in IPG CarMaker simulation environment for experimentally validated models of the target vehicle and its systems. The controller also contains robust observers for estimation of non-measurable vehicle states and parameters e.g., vehicle mass or road grade, which can have a significant influence on control performance and vehicle safety.
The Interpretation of E-Motions in Faces and Bodies Derived from Static Artworks by Individuals with High Functioning Autistic Spectrum
Authors: Della-Torre Maria Elisa , Zavagno Daniele , Actis-Grosso Rossana
Published: March 2021

E-motions are defined as those affective states the expressions of which—conveyed either by static faces or body posture—embody a dynamic component and, consequently, convey a higher sense of dynamicity than other emotional expressions. An experiment is presented, aimed at testing whether e-motions are perceived as such also by individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), which have been associated with impairments in emotion recognition and in motion perception. To this aim we replicate with ASD individuals a study, originally conducted with typically developed individuals (TDs), in which we showed to both ASD and TD participants 14 bodiless heads and 14 headless bodies taken from eleven static artworks and four drawings. The Experiment was divided into two sessions. In Session 1 participants were asked to freely associate each stimulus to an emotion or an affective state (Task 1, option A); if they were unable to find a specific emotion, the experimenter showed them a list of eight possible emotions (words) and asked them to choose one from such list, that best described the affective state portrayed in the image (Task 1, option B). After their choice, they were asked to rate the intensity of the perceived emotion on a seven point Likert scale (Task 2). In Session 2 participants were requested to evaluate the degree of dynamicity conveyed by each stimulus on a 7 point Likert scale. Results showed that ASDs and TDs shared a similar range of verbal expressions defining emotions; however, ASDs (i) showed an impairment in the ability to spontaneously assign an emotion to a headless body, and (ii) they more frequently used terms denoting negative emotions (for both faces and bodies) as compared to neutral emotions, which in turn were more frequently used by TDs. No difference emerged between the two groups for positive emotions, with happiness being the emotion better recognized in both faces and in bodies. Although overall there are no significant differences between the two groups with respect to the emotions assigned to the images and the degree of perceived dynamicity, the interaction Artwork x Group showed that for some images ASDs assigned a different value than TDs to perceived dynamicity. Moreover, two images were interpreted by ASDs as conveying completely different emotions than those perceived by TDs. Results are discussed in light of the ability of ASDs to resolve ambiguity, and of possible different cognitive styles characterizing the aesthetical/emotional experience.

Phonemic hearing is a type of hearing that is the basis for understanding the meaning of what is said. In working with future actors to improve the skills of phonemic hearing in the system of speech technique should use a game form of learning. For example: to identify extraneous sounds (noises) coming to the hearing organs of actors both with visual support and without it, with open and closed eyes; to identify the sounds made by musical instruments both with and without visual support; to identify non-speech sounds produced by actors.
BETWEEN SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS – DIGNITY AS THE HIGHEST VALUE OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT
Authors: Laputko Anna
Published: March 2021

It is analyzed that the secular assertion of human dignity, rights and freedoms in its practical plane in certain periods of human history has been and is a great challenge for Christian churches. It is studied that the Christian understanding of human dignity, balancing on the border of its theoretical proclamation and its practical implementation, served to promote the ideas of humanism, its ability to resist destructive, degrading manifestations of social life forms, in the dialectic of social and religious forms of life. It is shown that the dignity of the individual is inseparable from the understanding of his rights and freedoms, and therefore, the struggle for dignity and human rights is an integral part of the preaching of the truths of Christianity.
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT AS A NECESSARY CONDITION OF WAY OUT OF THE CRISIS FOR SOCIETY
Authors: Repetii Svitlana
Published: March 2021

The crisis of the present day, which covered almost all types of life activities, contributes to the development of impoverishment, degradation, leads to an increase of criminality, generates fear, emotional instability in the society. Forced isolation, threat of loss of work and value orientations contribute to the emergence of mental illnesses. Each person is responsible for his actions, thoughts and feelings – for themselves and society. Spiritual development is interpreted as a conscious life activity, transformation of negative qualities, which is considered as a daily inner action. This kind of life activity contributes to the development of unconditioned love, which we interpret as perception of a human being in its entirety without condemnation and pretensions.
The Transcription Factor Sox6 Controls Renin Expression during Renal Artery Stenosis
Authors: Saleem Mohammad , Saavedra-Sánchez Luz , Barturen-Larrea Pierina , Gomez Jose A.
Published: March 2021

Key Points

Sox6 controls the increased renin expression that is induced during renal artery stenosis, and thus has a novel function in renovascular hypertension.

Sox6 knockout in Ren1d+ cells inhibited the renovascular hypertension and kidney injury induced by renal artery stenosis.

The results presented in this manuscript point to a new transcriptional regulatory network in renal artery stenosis which is controlled by Sox6.

Background

Renal artery stenosis (RAStenosis) or renal artery occlusion is an intractable problem affecting about 6% of people >65 and up to 40% of people with coronary or peripheral vascular disease in the Unites States. The renal renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a key role in RAStenosis, with renin (which is mainly produced in the kidney) being recognized as the driver of the disease. In this study, we will determine a new function for the transcription factor Sox6 in the control of renal renin during RAStenosis.

Methods

We hypothesize that knocking out Sox6 in Ren1d-positive cells will protect mice against renovascular hypertension and kidney injury. To test our hypothesis, we used a new transgenic mouse model, Ren1dcre/Sox6fl/fl (Sox6 KO), in which Sox6 is knocked out in renin-expressing cells. We used a modified two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt mouse model to induce RAStenosis and renovascular hypertension. BP was measured using the tail-cuff method. Renin, prorenin, Sox6, and NGAL expressions levels were measured with Western blot, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. Creatinine levels were measured using the colorimetric assay.

Results

Systolic BP was significantly lower in Sox6 KO 2 weeks after RAStenosis compared with Sox6 WT (Ren1dcre/Sox6wt/wt). Renin, prorenin, and NGAL expression levels in the stenosed kidney were lower in Sox6 KO compared with Sox6 WT mice. Furthermore, creatinine clearance was preserved in Sox6 KO compared with Sox6 WT mice.

Conclusions

Our data indicate that Sox6 controls renal renin and prorenin expression and, as such, has a function in renovascular hypertension induced by RAStenosis. These results point to a novel transcriptional regulatory network controlled by Sox6.
Free Deoxycholic Acid Exacerbates Vascular Calcification in CKD through ER Stress-Mediated ATF4 Activation
Authors: Miyazaki-Anzai Shinobu , Masuda Masashi , Shiozaki Yuji , Keenan Audrey L. , Chonchol Michel , Kremoser Claus , Miyazaki Makoto
Published: March 2021

Key Points

CKD increases levels of DCA, which induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in vascular smooth muscle cells and vascular calcification.

Inhibition of FXR selectively increases DCA, resulting in severe vascular calcification.

Inhibition of ATF4 in vascular smooth muscle cells blocks DCA-induced vascular calcification in vitro and in vivo.

Background

Our metabolome approach found that levels of circulating, free deoxycholic acid (DCA) is associated with the severity of vascular calcification in patients with CKD. However, it is not known whether DCA directly causes vascular calcification in CKD.

Methods

Using various chemicals and animal and cell culture models, we investigated whether the modulation of DCA levels influences vascular calcification in CKD.

Results

CKD increased levels of DCA in mice and humans by decreasing urinary DCA excretion. Treatment of cultured VSMCs with DCA but no other bile acids (BAs) induced vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress–mediated activating transcription factor-4 (ATF4) activation. Treatment of mice with Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)–specific agonists selectively reduced levels of circulating cholic acid–derived BAs, such as DCA, protecting from CKD-dependent medial calcification and atherosclerotic calcification. Reciprocal FXR deficiency and DCA treatment induced vascular calcification by increasing levels of circulating DCA and activating the ER stress response.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that DCA plays a causative role in regulating CKD-dependent vascular diseases through ER stress–mediated ATF4 activation.
A study on Brand Projection of FMCG Products through Advertisements
Authors: Saha Amitava , De Kushal
Published: March 2021

Branding aims to create an identifiable name, symbol or design, or a combination of these to distinguish the products of a producer. Brand plays a significant role in demand creation and customer retention for any product. The importance of branding is immensely felt in case of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products where close substitutes are readily available and imprint of the product on the customers’ minds decide the actual sale. The advertisers aim for brand association, brand distinction and brand recognition due to closeness of substitutes. In this study, 50 leading FMCG products were selected from 9 sectors and their branding strategies along with the core messages as displayed through those advertisements were assessed. It is seen that the brand name, logo and slogan are given immense importance by the advertisers. The more intense is the competition, the more aggressively the brands are emphasised through advertisements.

Миграције с простора Балкана у пoљске земље током XV и XVI века спадају у проблеме који су ретко обрађивани у историографији. Те миграције сматране су појавом мањег значаја, мада су поједини истраживачи прошлости покренули њихову обраду на маргинама појединих расправа које се тичу шире проблематике, али је ова тематика ипак остала и даље у категоријама ретких примера. Предузимању ширих истраживања није ишла на руку ни специфичности информација у изворима: оне су малобројне, по правилу веома уопштене и разбацане у бројним издањима изворâ и рукописних материјала, похрањених у пољским архивама. Циљ је овога рада да укаже на судбину представника породице назначене у наслову рада – Дукађиновича, која је вероватно из Албаније досељена у XVI веку на подручје Подоља, области која је тада припадала Пољском краљевству. Аутора су посебно интересовали место порекла ових дошљака, узроци и вероватни правац њиховог миграционог кретања, као и привредне иницијативе у новој домовини. Такође је указано на тешкоће с којима су се морали сучелити на Подољу, а чија је последица на крају био и неуспех подухвата браће Дукађинович. Исто тако, суштински задатак овога рада била је намера аутора да укаже на потенцијалне, до сада неискоришћене могућности предузимања целовитих истраживања миграција представника разних балканских етноса у правцу граница пољско-литванске државе, како у позном средњем веку тако и у раном новом веку.

Апстракт: Битка на Легету (караула Чеврнтија), која се одиграла 1914. године у близини Сремске Митровице, углавном је игнорисана у историо­графским освртима на кључне војне топосе Првог светског рата. Велики пораз српских трупа у борби с аустроугарским војницима није одговарао званичном наративу о херојској епопеји српске војске у Великом рату. Отуда су власти Краљевине СХС/Југославије настојале да уметничким средствима погинуле војнике преобликују у славне жртве на олтару отаџбине у накнадној култури сећања. У складу са државном идеологијом, сени војника су уткане у пропагандни систем одржања крхког јединства композитне заједнице. Локалне традиције, везане за место погибије војника (Срем), као и порекло палих (источна Србија), постале су део јединственог културног наратива југословенства. Године 1922. зачета је идеја о потреби конституисања трајног места сећања на пале војнике. Монументални кенотаф означен патриотским симболима (амблеми, рељефи, и натписи), подигнут на месту битке, уобличен је у складу са типским архитектурално-скулптуралним артефактима у међуратном периоду. У великој мери, прочишћен визуелни амблем, постао је жижни амблем новоформираног спомен-парка, који је у међуратном периоду потврдио процес артифицираног претварања разореног ратног поља у топос сећања на српске/југословенске жртве у Великом рату.

Wh-Islands in L2 Spanish and L2 English: A Poverty of the Stimulus and Data Assessment
Authors: Ortega-Santos Iván , Reglero Lara , Franco Elorza Jon Andoni
Published: March 2021

This paper sheds light on the acquisition of wh-islands in L2 English spoken by native speakers of Spanish and L2 Spanish spoken by native speakers of English as well as on the distribution of wh-islands in L1 Spanish. A grammaticality judgment task with a 7-point Likert scale provides evidence that wh-island effects are present in L1 and L2 Spanish as well as L1 and L2 English. The L1 Spanish facts challenge the received view of wh-islands in this language, in keeping with recent developments which show that islands are more widely attested across languages than previously thought. These facts also highlight the dialogue between L2 research and replication studies thanks to the use of native control groups.
Preservice teachers’ beliefs about young children’s technology use at home
Authors: Dong Chuanmei , Mertala Pekka
Published: March 2021

Teachers’ beliefs about young children’s technology use at home are intertwined with their beliefs about parents and parenting practices. This paper reports a qualitative study of eight purposefully selected Chinese preservice early childhood teachers’ beliefs about children’s home technology use and associated representations of parents and teachers. The participants possessed inflated positive beliefs about young children’s natural technology competence but were worried that parents would expose children to contents for prolonged periods. Teachers' role was seen as responsible guides for children and educational authorities over parents. Implications for research and teacher education are discussed.

Effects of incomplete ionization on forward current–voltage characteristics of p-type diamond Schottky barrier diodes based on numerical simulation
Authors: Seok Ogyun , Ha Min-Woo
Published: March 2021

The forward current–voltage characteristics of p-type diamond pseudo-vertical Schottky barrier diodes are investigated via numerical simulation. Impact ionization decrease the hole concentration of the p− drift layer from 1015 to 1014 cm–3 at 300 K, thereby increasing the forward voltage drop and on-resistance. When we consider an incomplete ionization with increasing temperature, the increase in the hole concentration is more dominant than the enhanced phonon scattering, thereby resulting in an increasing forward current. We modified the Ohmic contact for both metallic conduction at the p+ layer and incomplete ionization at the p– drift layer. The Baliga figure-of-merit of the device with and without incomplete ionization is 25 and 192 MW cm−2, respectively. Incomplete ionization should be considered in the numerical study of diamond power devices.
Bayesian Updating of Material Balances Covariance Matrices Using Training Data
Authors: Burr T. , Hamada M.S.
Published: March 2021

The main quantitative measure of nuclear safeguards effectiveness is nuclear material accounting (NMA), which consists of sequences of measured material balances that should be close to zero if there is no loss of special nuclear material such as Pu. NMA is essentially “accounting with measurement errors,” which arise from good, but imperfect, measurements. The covariance matrix MB of a sequence of material balances is the key quantity that determines the probability to detect loss. There is a recent push to include process monitoring (PM) data along with material balances from NMA in new schemes to monitor for material loss. PM data includes near-real-time measurements by the operator to monitor and control process operations. One concern regarding PM data is the need to estimate normal behavior of PM residuals, which requires a training period prior to ongoing testing for material loss. Assuming that a training period is used for PM data prior to its use in statistical testing for loss, that same training period could also be used for improving the estimate of MB that is used in NMA. We consider updating MB using training data with a Bayesian approach. A simulation study assesses the improvement gained with larger amounts of training data.

Aircraft accidents involving catastrophic fatigue failure have the potential for significant loss of life. The aim of this research was to investigate trends in aircraft fatigue failure accidents to inform aerospace Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system Research and Development (R&D). The research involved collecting 139 aircraft fatigue failure accident reports from the Aviation Safety Network database, which were coded using a directed content analysis. The trends and features of the categorical data were then explored using an ex-post facto study. The results showed that fatigue failure accidents have increased at a rate of (3.4 ± 0.6)×10-2 per year since the 1920’s. Over the period of the study there were 2098 fatalities in 57 fatal accidents, giving (15.1 ± 1.6) fatalities per accident and a fatal accident percentage of (45 ± 10)%. The data indicates that engine failures combined with smaller aircraft and operators should be the focus of SHM R&D. While there is a desire to further improve safety for large transport category aircraft, results indicate that smaller aircraft and operators have seen a relative increase in fatigue failure accidents, and hence are also in need of SHM systems. Engine and undercarriage systems have the greatest number of fatigue failure accidents associated with them, suggesting these should be the focus of SHM R&D.

Published: March 2021

Code-switching and code-mixing become one of the issues existing not only in informal situations but also in a formal situations such as in the teaching-learning process. Homy School Palangka Raya, the teacher should speak both Bahasa Indonesia and English which trigger the use of code-switching and code-mixing because this school applied two curriculums: national curriculum K-13 and UK curriculum. So, the objectives of this research are to identify the types of code-switching and code-mixing used by the teachers of English at Homy School Palangka Raya in English class and the influences on students’ understanding of the lessons. This descriptive qualitative research observed and collected the data by joining the class where the teachers were teaching. The research result showed that there were 53 (fifty-three) occurrences of code-mixing, in the form of the insertion of words (11), the insertion of phrase (29), the insertion of hybrid (10), and the insertion of idiom (2). While there were 67 (sixty-seven) occurrences of code-switching in the form of metaphorical (5) and conversational code-switching (30). Regarding the influences of code-switching and code-mixing on the students’ understanding of the English, the lesson revealed that most of the students (seventy-two percents) who claimed that the use of code-switching and code-mixing in the English teaching-learning process at Homy School Palangka Raya can make them understand easily and make their communication with their teacher more effective.
