Attitudes towards Arabic Romanization and Student's Major: Evidence from the University of Jordan
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Hamdan Hady
Published: July 2018

This paper seeks to unveil the attitudes of a sample of students at the University of Jordan towards the use of romanized Arabic in computer--mediated communication (CMC). In particular, it provides answers to two questions. First, do the subjects encode Arabic characters, including numbers, in a romanized version in their CMC? If yes, how often and why? Second, does the students' major and the language of instruction used therein (i.e. English or Arabic) affect their choice of Arabic romanization and their attitudes towards it? The data are collected by means of a questionnaire completed by students from four different majors: (1) Applied English, (2) Arabic, (3) Medicine, and (4) Islamic Sharia. While the majority of students of Applied English and Medicine tend to use Romanized Jordanian Arabic, the students of Arabic and Sharia show a clear preference for the use of Arabic letters. The users of Romanized Arabic cite a number of reasons for their choice. Some believe that Romanized letters are easier and faster to type than Arabic letters. Some posit that English is the language of the Internet and technology and, thus, the use of romanization gives communication a special flavor. A third group report that their devices do not support Arabic language. This study is expected to contribute to identifying the youth attitudes towards the use or avoidance of romanized Arabic, which in turn may help develop a better understanding of this issue and assist cyber Arabic users to make the right choice when interacting with others in Arabic online.
Evaluating Registered Reports: A Naturalistic Comparative Study of Article Impact
Authors: Hummer Lilian T. , Singleton Thorn Felix , Nosek Brian A. , Errington Timothy M.
Published: July 2018

Registered Reports (RRs) is a publishing model in which initial peer review is conducted prior to knowing the outcomes of the research. In-principle acceptance of papers at this review stage combats publication bias, and provides a clear distinction between confirmatory and exploratory research. Some editors raise a practical concern about adopting RRs. By reducing publication bias, RRs may produce more negative or mixed results and, if such results are not valued by the research community, receive less citations as a consequence. If so, by adopting RRs, a journal’s impact factor may decline. Despite known flaws with impact factor, it is still used as a heuristic for judging journal prestige and quality. Whatever the merits of considering impact factor as a decision-rule for adopting RRs, it is worthwhile to know whether RRs are cited less than other articles. We will conduct a naturalistic comparison of citation and altmetric impact between published RRs and comparable empirical articles from the same journals.

KARAKTERISTIK SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE (SCC) TANPA CURING
Authors: Bachtiar Erniati
Published: July 2018

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is one solution to get concrete construction which it has good resistance. Durability of concrete was obtained by the good concrete compaction to be done by a skilled workforce. However, one of the negligence that often occur in the field ie after casting they was ignoring curing of the hardening concrete. This study discusses the workability of fresh concrete and mechanical properties (compressive strength and splitting tensile strength) on SCC without curing. Testing of the concrete workability based on EFNARC standard. The mechanical properties test based on ASTM standards. The method Compressive strength test based on ASTM standards 39 / C 39M - 12a, whereas splitting tensile strength accordance standard ASTM C496 / C496M-11. The results of the study indicate that the SCC without curing effect on the reduction in compressive strength at ages 1, 3, 7, 28, and 90 days in a row at 4.11 MPa (16.1%); 4.90 MPa (13.9%); 6.64 MPa (13.1%); and 6, 72 MPa (12.75%). Splitting tensile strength decreased respectively by 0.1 MPa (3.25%); 0.26 MPa (7.99%); 0.4 MPa (9.52%); and 0.39 MPa (9.16%).
Abstract Numeric Relations and the Visual Structure of Algebra
Authors: Landy David , Brookes David , Smout Ryan
Published: July 2018

We propose that construction processes involve an alignment of notational structures across representation systems, biasing reasoners toward the selection of formal notations that maintain the visuo-spatial structure of source representations. For example, in the statement “There are five elephants for every three rhinoceroses,” the spatial proximity of “five” and “elephants; and “three” and “rhinoceroses” will bias reasoners to write the incorrect expression 5E = 3R because that expression maintains the spatial relationships encoded in the source representation. In three experiments, participants construct equations with given structure, based on story problems with a variety of phrasings. We demonstrate how the notational alignment approach accounts naturally for a variety of previously reported phenomena in equation construction, and successfully predicts error patterns that are not accounted for by prior explanations such as the “left to right transcription heuristic.”
Just do it? Investigating the gap between prediction and action in toddlers’ causal inferences
Authors: Bonawitz Elizabeth , Ferranti Darlene , Saxe Rebecca , gopnik alison , Meltzoff Andrew N. , Woodward James , Schulz Laura
Published: July 2018

Adults’ causal representations integrate information about predictive relations and the possibility of effective intervention; if one event reliably predicts another, adults can represent the possibility that acting to bring about the first event might generate the second. Here we show that although toddlers (mean age: 24 months) readily learn predictive relationships between physically connected events, they do not spontaneously initiate one event to try to generate the second (although older children, mean age: 47 months, do; Experiments 1 and 2). Toddlers succeed only when the events are initiated by a dispositional agent (Experiment 3), when the events involve direct contact between objects (Experiment 4), or when the events are described using causal language (Experiment 5). This suggests that causal language may help children extend their initial causal representations beyond agent-initiated and direct contact events.

A Unified Theory of Psychophysical Laws in Hearing
Authors: Zeng Fan-Gang
Published: July 2018

Psychophysical laws quantitatively relate perceptual magnitude to stimulus intensity. While most people have accepted Stevens’s power function as the psychophysical law, few believe in Fechner’s original idea using just-noticeable-differences (jnd) as a constant perceptual unit to educe psychophysical laws. Here I present a unified theory in hearing, starting with a general form of Zwislocki’s loudness function (1965) to derive a general form of Brentano’s law. I will arrive at a general form of the loudness-jnd relationship that unifies previous loudness-jnd theories. Specifically, the “slope”, “proportional-jnd”, and “equal-loudness, equal-jnd” theories, are three additive terms in the new unified theory. I will also show that the unified theory is consistent with empirical data in both acoustic and electric hearing. Without any free parameters, the unified theory uses loudness balance functions to successfully predict the jnd function in a wide range of hearing situations. The situations include loudness recruitment and its jnd functions in sensorineural hearing loss and simultaneous masking, loudness enhancement and the midlevel hump in forward and backward masking, abnormal loudness and jnd functions in cochlear implant subjects. Predictions of these loudness-jnd functions were thought to be questionable at best in simultaneous masking or not possible at all in forward masking. The unified theory and its successful applications suggest that although the specific form of Fechner’s law needs to be revised, his original idea is valid in the wide range of hearing situations discussed here.

Effects of physical attractiveness on relation initiation
Authors: LeBel Etienne P.
Published: July 2018

This study examined the role of physical attractiveness in the initiation of interactions between unacquainted individuals. It is expected that in general, individuals (both males and females) will more likely initiate an interaction with an attractive versus unattractive other. However, it is anticipated that less attractive individuals will not show this preference and initiate an interaction equally among others varying in physical attractiveness. Finally, race differences may attenuate these predictions and quality of interaction will be higher in general with an attractive other. These data potentially have important ramifications for possible further applications. In a time where egalitarianism is promoted by many, it becomes important to educate the populace about our natural human biases. By applying the main findings of this study, individuals may be made more aware of these biases and hopefully be less bias in whom they interact with on a daily basis.

Abstract—During adolescence period, an adolescentundergoes physical, intellectual, emotional and psychological growth. An adolescent also experiences a social environment growth during that period. Out of all the problems regarding adolescent changes, the curiosity towards reproductive issue is enormous since during this period their reproductive organs already able to function as it should be. This study aims to create a model for reproductive health information dissemination thus adolescent will be able to find the proper reproductive health information. This is a qualitative study based on case study approach. The data collection incorporates observation, focus group discussion, interviews with the students of Library and Information Science Program Faculty of Communication Science Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung Indonesia class 2015 and literature study. Triangulation incorporates sources triangulation and theory triangulation. The results show adolescent in Bandung prefer to seek for reproductive health information through their significant others, such as mothers for female adolescent and friends for male adolescent. The model of reproductive health information dissemination in Bandung needs to involve parents and youth organizations or communities as the government representative to deliver information and government programs properly. This study may contribute in disseminating the reproductive health information for adolescenteffectively.
Developing an Appropriate Performance Measurement Framework for Total Quality Management in Construction, and other Industries
Authors: Neyestani Behnam
Published: July 2018

Total quality management (TQM) is a set of opinions and ideas that widely called “management philosophy”. This management technique is able to assist the construction firms in improving continuously the organization's performance, in order to satisfy customers and survive in the market. The success of TQM implementation is tightly dependent on identifying and selecting the appropriate critical success factors (CSFs), quality tools, and performance measures (KPIs) within TQM framework. Doubtlessly, a set of suitable performance measures (indicators) has a significant role to verify and ensure that TQM implementation can successfully achieve its aims in the organization. Thus, the main purpose of this paper was to develop a suitable framework to assess the effects of TQM implementation on organization's performance in construction industry. For this aim, the study was conducted a comprehensive literature review to specify the existing key performance indicators (KPIs) from 26 TQM frameworks that formulated by scholars. In data analysis, the only 20 KPIs were found of 26 TQM studies. The extracted KPIs (20) classified based on four dimensions of balanced scorecard (BSC), and then arranged from highest to lowest frequency for each perspective of BSC. Finally, a total of ten KPIs were determined and presented within BSC system as an appropriate performance measures framework, which enables evaluating critical areas that very vital to the success of TQM implementation in construction firms at project and enterprise levels.

Limited research to date has qualitatively explored the perceptionsmembers of the public who are not environmental activists hold ofenvironmentalists. Therefore a qualitative survey was conducted with 89US residents aged 21–53 (Mage = 32.74, SDage = 7.89) to obtain an in-depthunderstanding of how non-activists within the public perceiveenvironmentalists. Data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysisand demonstrated that non-activist perceptions of environmentalistscontained both positive and negative components. Environmentalistswere seen to value nature and to be actively involved in bringing aboutpositive environmental change (positive component), yet were also viewedas aggressive in their behaviors and stubborn in their beliefs (negativecomponent). Further still, it was found that environmentalists were morelikely to be perceived positively when they engaged in individual-level,private sphere behaviors (such as recycling), and negatively when theyengaged in collective-level, public sphere behaviors (such as protesting).These findings not only challenge the assumption that members of thepublic typically evaluate environmentalists negatively, they also outlinewhy some individuals may fail to identify as an environmentalist andengage in pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, they also providesome insight as to why some environmentalists find it difficult to advocatefor system change that results from collective action within the public sphere.

Bayesian Reanalyses from Summary Statistics: A Guide for Academic Consumers
Authors: Ly Alexander , Raj Akash , Etz Alexander , Marsman Maarten , Gronau Quentin Frederik , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: July 2018

Across the social sciences, researchers have overwhelmingly used the classical statistical paradigm to draw conclusions from data, often focusing heavily on a single number: p. Recent years, however, have witnessed a surge of interest in an alternative statistical paradigm: Bayesian inference, in which probabilities are attached to parameters and models. We feel it is informative to provide statistical conclusions that go beyond a single number, and --regardless of one's statistical preference-- it can be prudent to report the results from both the classical and the Bayesian paradigm. In order to promote a more inclusive and insightful approach to statistical inference we show how the open-source software program JASP (jasp-stats.org) provides a set of comprehensive Bayesian reanalyses from just a few commonly-reported summary statistics such as t and N. These Bayesian reanalyses allow researchers --and also editors, reviewers, readers, and reporters-- to quantify evidence on a continuous scale, assess the robustness of that evidence to changes in the prior distribution, and gauge which posterior parameter ranges are more credible than others. The procedure is illustrated using the seminal Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) study on cognitive dissonance.
Continuation to upper secondary education in Finland: Children of immigrants and the majority compared
Authors: Kilpi-Jakonen Elina
Published: July 2018

The education of children of immigrants is an important aspect of the integration of immigrant groups into receiving societies. This article focuses on the first transition in the Finnish education system. Two aspects of the transition are analysed: continuation versus dropping out and choice of upper secondary school type (general versus vocational).Results suggest that children of immigrants tend to have a higher probability of dropping out of education at this transition than the majority. However, this can largely be explained by prior school achievement and family resources. Controlling for these, only some first generation groups are left disadvantaged. Second generation students with very low prior school achievement or a father outside the labour force also have an increased risk of dropping out. These dropouts may be seen as discouraged students.The picture is more positive for choice of general school. After similar controls, most children of immigrants have a higher probability of choosing general school than the majority. The difference is largest for the non-European 2nd generation and for students with below average prior school achievement. Together with the results for dropout, this points to an avoidance of vocational schools by some ethnic minority groups.

Synthesis of carbon nano-spheres by thermal plasma treatment of polypropylene
Authors: Mohsenian Sina
Published: July 2018

In this work, it has been experimentally found the feasibility of producing carbon nano-spheres (CNS) from common plastic waste material (polypropylene), using thermal plasma treatment. Samples were treated in a furnace fitted with a twin dc thermal plasma torch. The EDS pattern for the samples synthesized at 80 A illustrates that there are some kinds of impurities in solid products. However, in the pattern obtained at 100 A, there was just one major carbon peak. The SEM image for 100 A treatment reveals that the solid carbon particles are very fine carbon nano-spheres with about 50 nm diameter. This method for synthesis of carbon nano-spheres may find a way to be considered in industrial waste disposal installation which may enhance the economic efficiency of plasma waste disposal industry, significantly.

Identification of A Set of Appropriate Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for Successful TQM Implementation in Construction, and Other Industries
Authors: Neyestani Behnam , P. Joseph Berlin
Published: July 2018

Total quality management (TQM) is a management philosophy that emphasizes on non-stop quality improvement within all aspects of the organizations. Its main aims are to satisfy customers and survive in the market. Thus, it is very vital to specify the factors that cause implementing TQM successfully. Specially, the identification of the TQM critical success factors (CSFs) is more important in the construction firms than other industries, because the majority of construction organizations are confusing related to TQM CSFs, and often they do not develop a proper framework with right and essential factors for TQM implementation. Numerous studies showed construction companies usually fail to implement TQM and achieve performance excellence at project and enterprise levels. The main purpose of this study is to determine these factors as critical success factors of TQM implementation in construction industry. For this aim, the study carried out an extensive literature review to specify the most frequently used CSFs from TQM frameworks of 37 empirical studies in different industries, in order to propose a set of appropriate TQM CSFs. So, Pareto analysis was employed to analyze comprehensively the 37 TQM frameworks. Finally, the findings of this study revealed the seven CSFs, which are as most vital elements in developing an effective model for successful TQM implementation in construction industry.

CULTURAL LITERACY DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LOCAL ORALSTORIES AS THE CULTURAL IDENTITY OF KEBONSARI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Authors: Rokhmawan Tristan , Firmansyah Mochamad Bayu
Published: July 2018

In this research the researcher collects philology materials, local oral stories, forms stories in a story book and uses them as a basis for developing a literacy program based on local oral stories entitled Sekolah Berbudaya Lisan (SBL). By adopting ethnographic and philological methods the researchers collect local oral story data around the school to be transformed into a written form of children's stories in picture books. This storybook based on local oral stories becomes the foundation of the embodiment in developing and cultivating a literacy activity program which is done by combining 4D research and social engineering research methods. The SBL program was developed to create role models for social engineering activities for schools to develop the cultural behavior of oral literacy in their environment. SBL as well as making local oral stories as a distinctive characteristic that must be preserved. Schools become cultural centers of oral stories and preserved forms of local oral stories that are almost extinct because modern society has abandoned traditional oral storytelling.

On the Semantics of Snapshot Isolation
Authors: Raad Azalea , Lahav Ori , Vafeiadis Viktor
Published: July 2018

Snapshot isolation (SI) is a standard transactional consistency model used in databases, distributed systems and software transactional memory (STM).It is formally defined both declaratively as an acyclicity axiom, and operationally as a concurrent algorithm with memory bearing timestamps.In this paper, we develop two simpler equivalent operational definitions of SI as lock-based reference implementations that do not use timestamps.Our first locking implementation is prescient in that requires a priori knowledge of the data accessed by a transaction and carries out transactional writes eagerly (in-place).Our second implementation is non-prescient and performs transactional writes lazily by recording them in a local log and propagating them to memory at commit time.Whilst our first implementation is simpler and may be better suited for developing a program logic for SI transactions, our second implementation is more practical due to its non-prescience.We show that both implementations are sound and complete against the declarative SI specification and thus yield equivalent operational definitions for SI.We further consider, for the first time formally, the use of SI in a context with racy non-transactional accesses, as can arise in STM implementations of SI.We introduce robust snapshot isolation (RSI), an adaptation of SI with similar semantics and guarantees in this mixed setting.We present a declarative specification of RSI as an acyclicity axiom and analogously develop two operational models as lock-based reference implementations (one eager, one lazy). We show that these operational models are both sound and complete against the declarative RSI model.
The State of Assessing Data Stewardship Maturity – An Overview
Authors: Peng Ge
Published: July 2018

Data stewardship encompasses all activities that preserve and improve the information content, accessibility, and usability of data and metadata. Recent regulations, mandates, policies and guidelines set forth by the U.S. government, federal and funding agencies, scientific societies and scholarly publishers, have levied stewardship requirements on digital scientific data. This raised level of requirements has increased the need for a formal approach to stewardship activities that they support compliance verification. For any entity to meet or verify the compliance with the stewardship requirements, it is necessary to assess the current stage, identify gaps, and define a roadmap forward for improvement if necessary. This, however, touches on standards and best practices in multiple knowledge domains. Therefore, data stewardship practitioners, especially these at data repositories, data service centers or associated with data stewardship programs, can benefit from the knowledge of existing maturity assessment models. This article provides an overview of the current stage of assessing stewardship maturity for federally funded digital scientific data. A brief description of existing maturity assessment models and related application(s) is provided. This helps stewardship practitioners to readily obtain basic information about these models. It allows them to evaluate each model’s suitability for their unique verification and improvement needs.

An example of hydraulic design project for teaching purpose is presented. Students’ task is to develop a looped distribution network for water (i.e. to determinate node consumptions, disposal of pipes, and finally to calculate flow rates in the network’s pipes and their optimal diameters). This can be accomplished by using the original Hardy Cross method, the improved Hardy Cross method, the node-loop method, etc. For the improved Hardy Cross method and the node-loop method, use of matrix calculation is mandatory. Because the analysis of water distribution networks is an essential component of civil engineering water resources curricula, the adequate technique better than the hand-oriented one is desired in order to increase students’ understanding of this kind of engineering systems and of relevant design issues in more concise and effective way. The described use of spreadsheet solvers is more than suitable for the purpose, especially knowing that spreadsheet solvers are much more matrix friendly compared with the hand-orientated calculation. Although matrix calculation is not mandatory for the original Hardy Cross method, even in that case it is preferred for better understanding of the problem. The application of commonly available spreadsheet software (Microsoft Excel) including two real classroom tasks is presented. ; JRC.C.3-Energy Security, Distribution and Markets
Modeling loss-propagation in the global supply network: The dynamic agent-based model acclimate

World markets are highly interlinked and local economies extensively rely on global supply and value chains. Consequently, local production disruptions, for instance caused by extreme weather events, are likely to induce indirect losses along supply chains with potentially global repercussions. These complex loss dynamics represent a challenge for comprehensive disaster risk assessments. Here, we introduce the numerical agent-based model acclimate designed to analyze the cascading of economic losses in the global supply network. Using national sectors as agents, we apply the model to study the global propagation of losses induced by stylized disasters. We find that indirect losses can become comparable in size to direct ones, but can be efficiently mitigated by warehousing and idle capacities. Consequently, a comprehensive risk assessment cannot focus solely on first-tier suppliers, but has to take the whole supply chain into account. To render the supply network climate-proof, national adaptation policies have to be complemented by international adaptation efforts. In that regard, our model can be employed to assess reasonable leverage points and to identify dynamic bottlenecks inaccessible to static analyses.

Published: July 2018

Prospek budidaya tanaman terung makin baik untuk dikelola secara intensif dan komersial dalam skala agribisnis, terung selain dikonsumsi di dalam negeri, juga menjadi mata dagang ekspor. Penggunaan pupuk an-organik dalam jangka yang relatif lama umumnya berakibat buruk pada kondisi tanah, dimana tanah menjadi cepat mengeras, kurang mampu menyimpan air dan cepat menjadi asam yang pada akhirnya akan menurunkan produktivitas tanaman. Pupuk organik cair (POC) umumnya merupakan pupuk lengkap karena mengandung unsur makro dan mikro, sehingga pemanfaatan pupuk organik akan mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap penggunaan pupuk anorganik sekaligus untuk mengatasi dampak negatif yang ditimbulkan akibat penggunaan pupuk anorganik yang beresiko tinggi. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui pengaruh interaksi perlakuan kombinasi serta pengaruh masing-masing faktor waktu pemupukan dan konsentrasi pupuk organik cair terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman terung.Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) di susun secara faktorial terdiri dari dua faktor yaitu : Faktor I adalah Waktu Pemupukan (W) yang terdiri dari 2 level yaitu : W1 = 7, 17, 27, 37, 47, dan 57 hari setelah tanam; W2 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, dan 60 hari setelah tanam. Faktor II adalah Konsentrasi Pupuk Organik Cair (K) yang terdiri dari 4 level yaitu K1 = 0,5 ml/liter air, K2 = 1,0 ml/liter air, K3 = 1,5 ml/liter air, dan K4 = 2,0 ml/liter air. Dari kedua faktor tersebut diperoleh 8 kombinasi perlakuan yang kemudian diulang sebanyak 3 kali, sehingga diperoleh 24 perlakuan kombinasi. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, maka disimpulkan sebagai berikut :a. Tidak Terdapat interaksi yang signifikan pada taraf uji F5% pada semua variabel yang diteliti yaitu tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah cabang, jumlah bunga, jumlah buah, dan berat buah per tanaman.b. Terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dari faktor waktu pemupukan yang diteliti, utamanya pada variabel tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah bunga, jumlah buah, dan berat buah per tanaman; Secara statistik, nilai yang lebih baik pada semua variable, dicapai oleh perlakuan W1 dibanding dengan perlakuan W2.c. Terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dari faktor konsentrasi pupuk organik cair yang diteliti, utamanya pada variabel tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah cabang, jumlah bunga, jumlah buah, dan berat buah per tanaman; Secara statistik, nilai yang lebih baik pada semua variabel tersebut dicapai oleh perlakuan K4 yaitu 2,0 ml/ liter air dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya yaitu K1, K2, dan K3.

Published: July 2018

This book contains my works published in the period 2005–2017 on my website (also in some Preprints portals). The concept of "harmony" in the title refers to the determination of the genetic code by golden mean, generalized golden mean and harmonic mean. Some parts of the contents, in the meantime are published in some of the official journals, but most are not, and this was the reason for my decision to publish all papers here in their entirety. [Now, 2017.12.13, I store this Proceedings of my works in OSF Preprints for the purpose of wider availability to the scientific public.]
