ACADEMIC DISHONESTY IN TRADITIONAL AND ONLINE CLASSROOMS: DOES THE “MEDIA EQUATION” HOLD TRUE?
Authors: Black Erik W. , Greaser Joe , Dawson Kara
Published: February 2019

Limited empirical research exists regarding the prevalence of academic dishonesty in the online classroom. This limited evidence supports the notion that factors contributing to academic dishonesty in the traditional classroom also apply to online courses. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between factors known to contribute to academic dishonesty in traditional courses with undergraduate students’ perceptions of cheating in online courses. 1068 undergraduates enrolled in online courses completed a survey exploring factors known to contribute to academic dishonesty in face-to-face classes and their perception of their peers’ level of cheating in online courses. Researchers employed bivariate correlations and multiple regression on data obtained from these students. Results suggest factors known to contribute to academic dishonesty in face-to-face classes have little influence in online courses, and results suggest that future research needs to consider whether students who engage in online learning have different ideas about what constitutes cheating.
EVALUATING THE BENEFITS OF PROVIDING ARCHIVED ONLINE LECTURES TO IN-CLASS MATH STUDENTS
Authors: Cascaval Radu C. , Fogler Kethera A. , Abrams Gene D. , Durham Robert L.
Published: February 2019

The present study examines the impact of a novel online video lecture archiving system on in-class students enrolled in traditional math courses at a mid-sized, primarily undergraduate, university in the West. The archiving system allows in-class students web access to complete video recordings of the actual classroom lectures, and sometimes of lecture notes, shortly after the in-class sessions are completed. The data collection for evaluating the impact of this archiving system was designed through focus groups, and consequently, obtained using a customized web survey. Survey questions targeted areas of potential impact, such as changes in attitudes and behaviors (such as study habits), changes in the dynamics of professor-student relationship, and the overall student performance enhancement. The results indicate that the presence of the archived video lectures and lecture notes adds significant value to the learning process with notable improvements in the perceived student performance and overall experience in the class.
STUDENT ISSUES IN DISTANCE EDUCATION PROGRAMS: DO INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS OFFER STUDENTS MORE CONFUSION OR MORE OPPORTUNITIES?
Authors: Fey Susan , Emery Mary , Flora Cornelia
Published: February 2019

The Community Development Master's Program is an inter-institutional, trans-disciplinary degree program that began in 2005 online at five participating universities in the North Central region. This article discusses outcomes of interviews with current and past students in the program to determine if a multi-institutional program, versus a program run by one university, makes for more or different struggles and/or opportunities for the online learner. Sloan-C's five pillars for online learning are used to frame the findings. Through qualitative data collection and analysis, researchers in this study worked to find out if having more institutions involved in a distance education program caused students to leave the program, or if it measured up similarly to online programs offered by one university, in terms of student challenges.

AN ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE TO THE WHYS AND HOWS OF BLENDED LEARNING
Authors: Niemiec Mary , Otte George
Published: February 2019

Given the importance of administrative attention to blended learning, this article adumbrates the institutional benefits but also the institutional challenges of this integration of online and on-campus instruction. The reasons for engaging in blended learning determine how it will play out, so the why is given precedence over the how. But there is an attempt to elaborate the methods even more extensively than the reasons, to drill down into the considerations that must be taken into account in any successful implementation. Just how the details will sort out will necessarily vary from one institution to the next, but there are certain considerations that seem genuinely indispensable, the keys to success or failure, sustainability or aborted effort.

ARE THERE DIFFERENCES IN WILLINGNESS TO PAY AMONG VISITORS AND NON-VISITORS OF TAMAN NEGARA NATIONAL PARK?
Authors: Samdin Zaiton , Awang Khairil Wahidin
Published: February 2019

Approaches such as the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) have helped to assign dollar values to non-use values for non-market goods which, unlike other products, are not traded in the market. This study attempts to put a value on the above non-market values. This study used the CVM, with Willingness to Pay (WTP) as the elicitation method to measure the non-use value among visitors and non-visitors of Taman Negara National Park (TNNP). This study also will answer questions; are there any differences in the WTP of various market segments, based on nationality, gender, age, education and income among visitors and non-visitors? This study found that there was a different between visitors and non-visitors willingness to pay. It also found that visitors and non-visitors market segments such as nationality,, income etc. are differed. Thus, information found in this study can be a fundamental source for park management in directing park pricing policy towards an efficient system. Although using WTP for this economic valuation cannot provide exact answers on the valuation of these natural resources, it can still provide a guideline on pricing strategy and give extra information for park management decisions, especially about park pricing. Thus, better decision-making processes can be practised if monetary values can be placed on these non-market goods.

Authors:   Murmansk Arctic State University, Zhelnina Zoya Yuryevna , Tereschenko Natalia Viktorovna ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: February 2019

The active development of the multi-faceted tourism industry in modern society, its involvement in the solution of the pivotal economic and social tasks have led to the fact that it becomes a key element in the social and economic development strategies of Russian regions. The relevance of the research into Arctic tourism is due to the need for an interdisciplinary study of this phenomenon in the cross-cultural context and evolution of values and cognitive aspects; the necessity for the sociological analysis of the current situation in the field under review, data comparison, and identification of common and specific problems. The authors discuss the results of a study on the opinions of young people about the symbolic value of Arctic tourism generating cultural stereotypes and travel motivations. The research has been conducted as a part of the Creative City Is a Territory to Be Developed, a strategic project of Murmansk Arctic State University. The authors prove that there is an obvious request for cultural tourism in the Arctic region, an interest in the art history of the circumpolar world. It is concluded that the forms and content of tourist programs should be updated.

Published: February 2019

The study discusses the interaction of music art and cinema that are intrinsically linked and characterized by age-old traditions. Their combination provides ample opportunities for creating a great sound and visual image. The analysis reveals the similarities and differences between these two long-standing branches of art complying with the trends of the times and the ways to complement each other. There are two opposing view- points on the development of music in cinema among the researchers and experts in this regard. On the one hand, music can become a more active element of screenwriting. On the other hand, film music line should be minimized and limited to source music. The author concludes that the interaction of cinema and music is characterized by the following specific features: the processual nature, i.e. the development over time, the dynamic character, the similar structural and compositional principles of the artistic image construc- tion.

Cultural boundaries of design
Authors:   Omsk State Transport University, Roslyakov Aleksey Evgenyevich
Published: February 2019

The study attempts to consider the ways and means of designing the future which allow one to stay in the field of reality (the present) and not to fall out of the capacity. At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate and mitigate risks in advance, anticipate the directions from which one should distance oneself. Any ideology, project, cultural, or methodological one, is not inclined to see its own boundaries. The intersection of mental boundaries creates the “slipping” effect, i.e. the borders themselves are overlooked. To eliminate such tendencies, there is a need for a clear explication of the problem field, the creation of a coherent and consistent terminology, and the articulation of possible obstacles when updating problem. In the modern technological society, projective human capabilities are limited by the existing cultural boundaries of society. Social control sets the limits on social forecasting, encourages the development of regulatory design methods, and affects the recognition of techniques for analyzing and evaluating the desirability and the possibility of the proposed developments. The author focuses on the creation and sustained implementation of long-term projects by a modern person. The problem is to be discussed due to the fact that modern technology largely provides satisfactory average living standards for many people without project resources while the transition to above-average level requires both considerable physical and mental efforts.

Published: February 2019

Andrographolide (AG) is a pure isolate of the chemical synthesis of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Nees.) which has various pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. In order to improve the ability of AG to penetrate the membrane in transdermal use, an inclusion complex was formed using beta-cyclodextrin (BCD) by modifying the physical chemistry properties of AG, particularly the solubility in its base, partition, and distribution on the skin, as well as by changing the permeability of the stratum corneum. The inclusion complexes of AG with BCD were prepared by the solvent evaporation method in the mole ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. The solid of the yield of AG inclusion complex in BCD has been tested with a solubility test until it reached equilibrium at 37 ± 5 °C for 24 hours and In vitro dissolution rate test using the II USP method (paddle type), then compared to a single AG compound, and a physical mixture of AG-BCD. Based on the solubility and dissolution rate tests, it showed that the formation of AG-BCD inclusion complex was obtained at the mole ratio of 1:2. Moreover, the AG solubility increased 38 timesand the dissolution rate in the 60th minute increased twice  in the inclusion complex with BCD.Key words: andrographolide, inclusion complex, beta cyclodextrin, solubility, dissolution rate

Cuando la universidad de afuera entra: ¿Cuáles son las características claves para promover la investigación participativa?
Authors: Reynolds Nora Pillard , Hunt Iain J , Muñoz William
Published: February 2019

En este artículo, analizamos la pregunta: ¿Cuáles son las características claves para una alianza entre una universidad de afuera y actores locales para promover la investigación participativa? Utilizamos la escalera de participación (Briggs, 1989) y el continuo interno-externo de la reseña histórica (Herr y Anderson, 2005) para analizar ejemplos de investigación hecho por universidades de afuera en Waslala, Nicaragua.

Argumentamos que investigadores de afuera deben aliarse con un actor local para mejorar y garantizar la participación en todas las etapas del proceso de investigación - formulando la pregunta de investigación, la recopilación de datos, el análisis y la diseminación de resultados. Características claves para facilitar participación en cada etapa incluyen: la presencia de mediadores culturales, oportunidades para comunicación y diseminación en múltiples idiomas y usando diferentes medios para alcanzar con audiencias distintas, y que un proyecto sea parte de una alianza con fines más allá qué sola investigación.

Comparative research of effects of permeability enhancers on the effectiveness of model protein (insulin) administered via the inhalation route
Authors: Ivanov I. M. , Nikiforov A. S. , Trofimova V. S. , Sventickaya A. M.
Published: February 2019

Relevance.Inhalation administration of compounds with peptide and protein structure may be promising in provision of emergency medical assistance in emergency situations, including radiation injuries. The development of inhalation dosage forms for compounds with peptide and protein structure requires the selection of excipients to increase their bioavailability.

Intention.To assess effects of permeability enhancers on the effectiveness of a model biologically active substance of protein nature (insulin) by inhalation.

Methods.The experiments were carried out in outbred white male rats with initial weight of 180–220 g. To assess the effectiveness of insulin and permeability enhancers, they were administered via intranasal and intratracheal routes using a MicroSprayer® IA-2B instillation probe (Penn Century, USA). The list of biological membrane permeability enhancers under investigation (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) includes the following substances: methyl-β-cyclodextrin, dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, Tween-80, sodium methyl oleate, oleic acid, sodium taurocholate, sodium glycocholate, Pluronic F-68, tesit, Brij-35, saponin, cetylpyridine.

Results and Discussion. Insulin bioavailability without permeability enhancers does not exceed 0.5% when administered intranasally. When assessing effects of multiple doses of permeability enhancers on food and water consumption in animals over time, decreased parameters under study were observed in the control and experimental groups compared to intact animals. Multiple intratracheal administration of solutions to rats can lead to some infectious complications.

Conclusion. Such excipients as sodium taurocholate, dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin and Тween-80 in a concentration of 5 % increase bioavailability and intensity of biological effects of insulin when administered intranasally. The surfactants Brij-35, Тween-80 and sodium taurocholate in a concentration of 0.25 % increase the duration of biological effects of insulin when administered intratracheally. Sodium taurocholate and Tween-80 in a concentration of 0.25 % have the lowest toxicity during multiple intratracheal administration.

Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent JumonjiC domain-containing histone demethylases (JmjC KDMs) are epigenetic eraser enzymes involved in the regulation of gene expression and are emerging drug targets in oncology. We screened a set of clinically used iron chelators and report that they potently inhibit JMJD2A (KDM4A) in vitro. Mode of action investigations revealed that one compound, deferasirox, is a bona fide active site-binding inhibitor as shown by kinetic and spectroscopic studies. Synthesis of derivatives with improved cell permeability resulted in significant upregulation of histone trimethylation and potent cancer cell growth inhibition. Deferasirox was also found to similarly inhibit human 2OG-dependent hypoxia inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase activity. Therapeutic effects of clinically used deferasirox may thus involve transcriptional regulation through 2OG oxygenase inhibition. Deferasirox may provide a useful starting point for the development of novel anticancer drugs targeting 2OG oxygenases and a valuable tool compound for investigations of KDM function.

Inadequate disposal of livestock manure has caused environmental pollution around the village, both water, soil and air (smell). Animal waste in the form of liquid is deliberately flowed into the river while solid waste is left piled up around the cage. The occurrence of odor and pollution is sometimes triggered social conflict, with complaints from local communities. With a population of 35 head of cattle for a farmer group, assuming the average per cow yields 15 kg of solid waste, the waste produced can reach approximately 525 kg per day. The lack of knowledge and the low educational background of the cattle ranchers in the Arabica Village makes the awareness of the environment to be lacking, as well as the technology of processing animal waste and the benefits. Biogas Reaktors of animal waste, although they have heard but lack of knowledge of how to make biogas installations and the assumption that the budget is spent to build the technology makes them prefer to allocate these funds to other things in order for the survival of livestock business can be sustainable. By looking at the existing potential, of course, if managed properly, Arabica Village can become an energy independent village and is a new business opportunity, for biogas products and residues from the installation of biogas in the form of organic fertilizer.

Komunitas merupakan sekelompok orang yang berkumpul bersama karena adanya kegiatan dan kegemaran yang sama. Melalui komunitas individu dapat memperoleh sumber informasi informal maupun dukungan dari komunitasnya. Adanya pemenuhan kebutuhan yang diperlukan, dapat meningkatkan sense of community. Sense of community dapat meningkatkan self-efficacy karena adanya pemenuhan kebutuhan akan informasi maupun dukungan yang dapat membantu individu agar dapat mengerjakan tugas hingga akhir. Self-efficacy adalah keyakinan individu terhadap kemampuan yang dimilikinya yang berguna agar individu dapat mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan hingga selesai. Tugas yang dimaksud adalah tugas dari komunitas kesenian. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahap emerging adulthood (yang berusia 18 hingga 25 tahun) karena pada tahap ini individu berada pada masa transisi dari remaja menuju dewasa awal, dimana pada tahap ini lingkungan juga masih cukup mempengaruhi individu, termasuk self-efficacy. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode penelitian kuantitatif yang diikuti 104 responden (34 pria dan 70 wanita) yang mengikuti komunitas kesenian di Universitas X. Penelitian ini menggunakan alat ukur Sense of Community Index-2 dan alat ukur self-efficacy. Selanjutnya, pengujian korelasi dilakukan dengan korelasi Pearson Product Moment. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sense of community memiliki hubungan dengan self-efficacy (r=.247, p=.012). Hal ini berarti semakin tinggi sense of community individu, maka semakin tinggi pula self-efficacy. Sebaliknya, semakin rendah sense of community, maka semakin rendah pula self-efficacy individu.
Towards the automatic optimization of geometric multigrid methods with evolutionary computation
Authors: Schmitt Jonas , Kuckuk Sebastian , Köstler Harald
Published: February 2019

For many linear and nonlinear systems that arise from the discretization of partial differential equations the construction of an efficient multigrid solver is a challenging task. Here we present a novel approach for the optimization of geometric multigrid methods that is based on evolutionary computation, a generic program optimization technique inspired by the principle of natural evolution. A multigrid solver is represented as a tree of mathematical expressions which we generate based on a tailored grammar. The quality of each solver is evaluated in terms of convergence and compute performance using automated Local Fourier Analysis (LFA) and roofline performance modeling, respectively. Based on these objectives a multi-objective optimization is performed using strongly typed genetic programming with a non-dominated sorting based selection. To evaluate the model-based prediction and to target concrete applications, scalable implementations of an evolved solver can be automatically generated with the ExaStencils code generation framework. We demonstrate our approach by constructing multigrid solvers for Poisson's equation with constant and variable coefficients.

The present paper provides a hybrid method for IT software risks identification.  Software projects possess different features which increase the project failure possibilities.  Therefore, the present work integrate the Artificial Neural network with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP-ANN) in order to solve the problem of software project estimation in early stage. The questionnaire developed to find out the risk functional model and provide the proposed method with proper data. The results observe a major common risk in software projects is the insufficient knowledge based on different software project life cycle stages. Also, there are some other important factors in software projects such as lack of good estimation in project scheduling, poor definition of project requirements which cause human errors.
Images Analysis by Using Fuzzy Clustering
Authors: Hazim Ahmed Kharofa Shahla
Published: February 2019

The Fuzzy C-Mean algorithm is one of the most famous fuzzy clustering techniques. The process of fuzzy clustering  is a useful method in analyzing many patterns and images. The Fuzzy C-Mean algorithm is widely used and based on the objective function reduction through adding membership values and the  fuzzy coefficient. The Mean Absolute Error (MAE) was also measured in this research for each execution.          The research found that when the number of clusters increases, the mean absolute error value is reduced. When the number of clusters increased. The more details in the resulting image were not present in the original image. This helps in the analysis of the images.

In this research, medical images were treated and analyzed. The analysis helps physicians explain the patient's health status and also according to suggested algorithm helps them to diagnose the possibility of a particular disease or tumor. A Matlab program was created to perform the analysis.

Kekre Median Codebook Generation (KMCG) is a vector quantization algorithm. It is used for several purposes like image compression and segmentation. It has been applied by several application and shows its efficiency. This paper presents a comparison study of applying KMCG with three color models: RGB, YCbCr, and HSV for image segmentation. The experiments applied on five images, three of them are benchmarks. Two numerical metrics are utilized: E measure and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), in addition to the visual results. The final results show that KMCG conducts better segments when it is applied with the RGB color model. It returns more homogenies segments than using KMCG with YCbCr or HSV.

Published: February 2019

Using wireless sensor network technology in structure health monitoring applications results in generating large amount of data. To sift through this data and extract useful information an extensive data analysis should be applied. In this paper, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is proposed for the oil pipeline monitoring system with proposed method for event detection and classification. The method depends on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). It applied to features extracted from vibration signals of the monitored pipeline. These vibration signals are collected while applying damage events (knocking and drilling) to the oil pipeline. PCA is applied to features extracted from both time domain and frequency domain. The results manifest that this method is able to detect the existence of damage and also to distinguish between the different levels of harmful events applied to the pipeline.

Some Properties of the Prolongation Limit Random Sets in Random Dynamical Systems
Authors: Talib Mohsin Sundus , Jabbar Kadhim Ihsan
Published: February 2019

The aim of this paper is to  study the omega limit set with new concepts of  the  prolongation limit random sets in  random dynamical systems, where some  properties are proved and introduced such as the relation among the orbit closure, orbit and omega limit random set. Also we prove that the first prolongation of a closed random set containing this set, the first prolongation is closed and invariant.  In addition, it is connected whenever it is compact provided that the phase space of the random dynamical systems is locally compact. Then, we study the prolongational limit random set  and examined some essential properties of this set. Finally, the relation among the first prolongation, the prolongational limit random set and the positive trajectory of a random set is given and proved.

Authors: Ghawi Tha'ar Younis
Published: February 2019

A submodule N of a module M  is said to be s-essential if it has nonzero intersection with any nonzero small submodule in M. In this article, we introduce and study a class of modules in which all its nonzero endomorphisms have non-s-essential kernels, named, strongly -nonsigular. We investigate some properties of strongly -nonsigular modules. Direct summand, direct sums and some connections of such modules are discussed.
Wahdah Islamiyah’s Counter-Radicalism Strategy Through The New Media Network in Da’wah Development Of Palu City
Authors: Khairil Muhammad
Published: February 2019

Radical labels and terrorist movements are often pinned down on various Islamic organizations in Indonesia, one of which is Wahdah Islamiyah (WI). This stigma is growing rapidly among Indonesians because the news in the media seems to accuse Islamic organizations of being the source of radical movements. Understanding the media becomes a crucial need in society. In addition, Islamic organizations are required to balance technological developments and utilize communication media in the modern era to re-establish the image of Muslims in Indonesia. This study focused on Wahdah Islamiyah in Palu City and was carried out with qualitative methods and case study approach to see and explain how the Wahdah Islamiyah in Palu City understood and utilized the media in responding to radical ideas that were often attached to Islamic organizations. This research shows that WI has a special strategy in responding to radicalism and has been able to utilize online media even though it is not yet optimal.
Presupuestos epistemológicos y enseñanza del Derecho Administrativo
Authors: Goldfarb Mauricio
Published: February 2019

El objeto de este trabajo es vincular las cuestiones epistemológicas presentes en la enseñanza del Derecho en las universidades, con especial referencia al Derecho Administrativo. La cuestión ocupa un lugar que, a pesar de ser central para el entendimiento y la transmisión de que es y cómo funciona el sistema jurídico y la visión que del mismo tienen sus operadores, ha sido a menudo subestimada, o directamente obviada.1 2 Si bien muchas de las reflexiones son aplicables a todas las disciplinas jurídicas, la mirada está puesta especialmente en la enseñanza del Derecho Administrativo. Ello es así por dos razones: En primer lugar porque en pocas ramas del Derecho como en el Derecho Público se puede advertir la incidencia de las posturas ideológicas y políticas subyacentes. La segunda razón es que mi propia experiencia se vincula exclusivamente a la enseñanza del Derecho Administrativo como un diálogo, casi siempre conflictivo, entre la libertad y el poder
