Family and Gender in the Transformation of the Countryside
Authors: Morell Ildikó Asztalos , Brandth Berit
Published: April 2019

This special issue presents articles which explore how gender relations evolved in rural families in the context of the ongoing transformation of rural life at large and farming in specific related to the global trends of modernisation. The effects of modernisation on rurality are contextual. The case studies in this volume represent diverse patterns of modernisation along different paths to industrialisation (cases studies from Northern, highly industrialised versus Southern late industrialised countries) as well as along different paths to capitalism (see the case studies from post-socialist societies). Large-scale socioeconomic forces led to the transition and dissolution of the “traditional farm family”. New forms of existence emerge for rural families complementing and even replacing the role of farming. The volume elucidates how gender relations are formed in rural families representing a diversity of emerging rural family life-styles, such as one-man farms, summer farms, farms engaged with tourism or having complementary off farm incomes. Gender relations are also studied in the light of changing gender ideologies, such as the case of post-socialist societies. The case studies in the volume provide empirical and theoretical frameworks exploring how the relation between the ongoing transformation of family farms (such as processes of masculinisation vs feminisation) and of rural families (such as retraditionalisation vs detraditionalisation) can be related to changing gender relations (women’s empowerment vs reconstitution of gender inequalities).
A Critical Evaluation of Attitudes towards Nuclear, Joint and Extended Family Structures among People of Indian Origin in Durban, South Africa
Authors: Singh Anand
Published: April 2019

This reflexive paper is based on research that was carried out between November 2006 and January 2007 among people of Indian origin now living in Durban-a metropolis situated on the east coast of South Africa. Its intention is to compare the evidence that was gathered during this period with research that was done during the decades of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s on attitudes towards family and household living arrangements among Indians in this city. Against the various sets of information that are discussed here, I arrive at the conclusion that much of the research on the attitudes towards Indian joint and extended families over the last three decades has failed to produce a convincing perspective about this aspect. Their problem lay with two issues viz. the adoption of the social evolution and westernization perspectives inherent in the development paradigms of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as their reliance on either the impersonal methods of data gathering or upon minimal information derived from a small number of interviews. Such approaches fail to grasp relevant socio-religious, philosophical and personalized positions on the issue of attitudes towards these forms of living arrangements. On the contrary, the research that was done between November 2006 and January 2007 provides information, albeit implicit, on the interconnectedness among these factors and demonstrates an overwhelming prevalence of positive attitudes towards joint and extended families.
Parental Psychological Control and Authoritarianism in Chinese-Canadian and European-Canadian Cultural Groups: Their Meanings and Implications for University Students’ Adjustment
Authors: Rudy Duane , Awong Tsasha , Lambert Michael
Published: April 2019

While psychological control and parental authoritarianism are thought to be distinct but related constructs (Barber & Harmon, 2002), the empirical relationships between measures of the constructs has not been assessed. This study examined these relationships, as reported by Chinese-Canadian and European-Canadian undergraduates. It also determined the extent to which participants’ reports of their mothers’ and fathers’ authoritarianism and psychological control uniquely predicted undergraduates’ own levels of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. The associations between reports of parenting and these indicators of adjustment were similar in both groups. Across groups, there was evidence that the measures of psychological control and authoritarianism reflected distinct constructs, which were strongly positively associated. Psychological control best predicted depression and self-esteem; neither authoritarianism nor psychological control predicted unique variance in anxiety. The implications of the findings are discussed.
Choosing between Marriage and Cohabitation: Women’s First Union Patterns in Hungary
Authors: Bradatan Cristina , Kulcsar Laszlo
Published: April 2019

In this paper, we study the patterns of women first union formation in Hungary. We use competing risk models (Cox regression) to analyze retrospective data (women sub sample, N=8931) from the Gender and Generations Survey for Hungary, wave 1. We found that cohabitation is increasing popular choice among the young cohorts in Hungary and it works as a marriage replacement for women who start their union career later in life. While there is a well defined tendency of the younger generations to choose cohabitation rather than marriage as a first union, the level of education, being in school, working status and ethnicity play an important role in taking this decision.
Fairness and Housework: A Cross-National Comparison
Authors: Ruppanner Leah
Published: April 2019

Using 2002 International Social Survey Program (ISSP) data, the relationship of individual level characteristics with the division of labor was examined for three countries with different patterns of female labor force participation and country-specific gender equality. The impact of two theories, distributive justice and relative resources, was assessed for Sweden, the Netherlands, and Hungary. The author finds that the distributive justice theory had a strong relationship in these three countries in relation to husband and wives’ housework hours and husbands’ participation in core “female” household chores. The Netherlands proves anomalous as wives’ gender role ideologies and housewife status had significant associations with fairness. Relative resources had some association in Hungary as wives’ who earn more than their husbands report less fairness than spouses with equal earnings. The results demonstrate that country context is an important consideration for studying the fairness.
Farm Family Coping with Stress: The Impact of the 1998 Ice Storm
Authors: Sutherland Lee-Ann (Small) , Glendinning Tony
Published: April 2019

This study looks at how farm families coped with the 1998 ice storm in Eastern Ontario, in particular stress and health impacts. It is based on a mail survey (N = 171) and follow-up qualitative interviews with households (N = 40). Beyond the severity of the event, finances were identified as a key factor in reported incidence of stress symptoms during the ice storm, related to uncertainties with insurance claims and arrangements with banks. Afterwards, off-farm income was found to moderate ongoing stress. Although the social resources the farm community utilized in coping with the storm and its aftermath were identified as highly important by respondents, these did not act to differentially moderate the stress and health impacts. Instead, the findings suggest farm families addressed the financial implications of the ice storm at the household level, compounding existing stress- linked responses to chronic financial strain among farms in the region.
Characteristics of Eastern European Immigration in the United States
Authors: Robila Mihaela
Published: April 2019

The fall of communism in late 1980s and the postcommunist socio-economic and political transition determined a resurgence of Eastern European immigrants as a new phenomenon in United States. Examining Eastern European immigrants will increase the understanding of today’s diverse immigrant population and their adaptation in the host society. Using the data from the 2002-2004 Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey, the purpose of this article is to facilitate an understanding of the characteristics of Eastern European immigration. Systematic research on Eastern European immigrants could increase the understanding of today’s diverse immigrant population and their adaptation to the new society.
“Sshh…!! Don’t Tell My Parents”: Dating among Second-Generation Patels in Florida
Authors: Manohar Namita
Published: April 2019

This article examines how second-generation Patel women and men navigate dating in the context of their bicultural identities as Indian-Americans, and the gender structures of the Patel community in Florida. It finds that second generation Patel women and men reject alike their parents’ perception of dating as non-Indian behavior and the American perception of dating as healthy fun. Rather, Patel women and men have reconceptualized dating in a manner that appeals to their identities as Indian-Americans. Accordingly, dating for them is not only a means of exploring their preferences in intimate partnering, but must necessarily have an end goal binding it - namely marriage. Gender structures within the Patel community create differential dating experiences for Patel women and men. In response, Patel women and men have devised strategies in their dating behaviors evinced in their partner selections, age at onset of dating, their employing of secrecy in dating, and utilizing particular semantics of dating.
The ‘Growing Legs’ of Generation as a Policy Construct: Reviving its Family Meaning
Authors: McDaniel Susan A.
Published: April 2019

Generation is a packed social concept with immense explanatory capacity and policy utility, yet it is a concept fraught with misunderstanding and underestimation in the aging and family policy literatures. This paper has three objectives: (1) to explore generation as a socially useful explanatory concept; (2) to show how generation has been conceptualized theoretically and historically in ways useful today; and (3) to contemplate how policy debates can be illuminated by revival of the family meaning of generation. Generation as a family concept relies on inequality as a socially cohesive, positive notion, on relationality, on the dynamics of time and change. Transitions are expectable, not shocks, and ageing is a life course experience and stage, not a category or a group with special interests.
More Than Wife Abuse That Has Gone Old: A Conceptual Model for Violence against the Aged in Canada and the US
Authors: Sev’er Aysan
Published: April 2019

Violence against the Aged (VAA) can take on the form of psychological, physical, sexual, economic abuse or neglect. The under-reporting of VAA is a major problem, although both Canadian and USA studies show that the consequences of this crime are very serious. Moreover, although the rates may be stable (5-10%), the numbers are rising due to the aging of the Canadian and USA populations. In this paper, I introduce an integrated conceptual model for predicting VAA, which goes beyond intimate partner violence. The model also suggests that struggles against VAA must simultaneously occur at the personal, social and structural dimensions.
Resettled Refugee Families and Their Children’s Futures: Coherence, Hope and Support
Authors: Atwell Rebecca , Gifford Sandra M. , McDonald-Wilmsen Brooke
Published: April 2019

This paper investigates the factors which influence the ability of resettled refugee parents to envisage their adolescents’ futures and support them in setting and achieving goals. It is based on the findings of a study of 10 refugee families from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, two to three years after they had arrived in Melbourne, Australia. Analysis of the findings draws on Antonovsky’s ‘sense of coherence’ framework to highlight the conditions which assist refugee parents to negotiate their social environment and develop realistic ambitions for their families’ futures. This framework is also used to point to ways in which refugee families might best be assisted by host communities to guide and support their children and thus overcome some of the potential intergenerational conflicts which can occur following resettlement.
Profiles of Grandmothers Providing Child Care to Their Grandchildren in South Korea
Authors: Lee Jaerim , Bauer Jean W.
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this study is to describe the profiles of South Korean grandmothers who provide child care to their grandchildren using a nationally representative sample of 3,329 grandmothers between 45 and 79 years of age. We assess grandmothers’ personal characteristics, financial situation and perception, and social participation associated with the likelihood of providing full-time and part-time child care, in comparison to providing no child care. We also examine grandmother characteristics related to providing longer hours of child care among 420 caregiving grandmothers. The results of a multinomial logistic regression and multiple regression show that the following characteristics are significantly associated with the provision of full-time or longer child care: age, intergenerational coresidence, the projection of future inheritance, grandmaternal and maternal employment, interaction with close networks, and religious participation. The findings suggest preliminary support for the three models of intergenerational transfer theory, short-term exchange, long-term exchange, and altruism, to explain grandmatemal child care in South Korea.
Sharing Space-Gendered Patterns of Extended Household Living among Young Turkish Marriage Migrants in Denmark
Authors: Liversage Anika , Jakobsen Vibeke
Published: April 2019

While considerable research exists on US immigrant groups living in extended households, little is available on such households in Europe. Using a combination of register data, survey data and qualitative interview data, this article analyzes extended household living among Turkish immigrants in Denmark, and compares the findings to the situation in Turkey. The analysis shows that as many as 78% of young female and 38% of young male marriage migrants began life in Denmark in extended households in the late 1990’s. However, these figures dropped by approximately one-third over the first five years of married life in Denmark. Another finding is that the share of Turkish males in Denmark who moved into extended households with their brides’ parents is far greater than the share of their counterparts doing so in Turkey. Thus matrilineal extended household living is much more common in a migratory context than in a non-migratory one. Using qualitative interview data, the article also explores how both gender and life cycle stage affect extended household living arrangements, and shows that women in particular may be strongly affected. The effects can be a positively perceived support for child care and household work, but may also be a negatively perceived confinement to domesticity. The confinement to domesticity is partly achieved through a pooling of household income that allows young women to remain outside the labor force. While many young couples move to nuclear living after some years in Denmark, a number of extended families continue cohabiting for decades.
Working-Class, Korean-American Women Navigating Marriage Through Evangelical Christianity
Authors: Kim Seongeun
Published: April 2019

This study examines how working-class, Korean-American, evangelical women navigate patriarchal marriage through evangelical Christianity, based upon in-depth interviews with 17 women working-class, Korean-American, evangelical women in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. While the growing body of literature on religion, gender, and Asian-American marriage investigates women’s rejection of patriarchal traditions through the practice of religions, current research literature fails to capture socioeconomically less privileged women’s use of religion in their marriage. The findings of this study show that working-class, Korean-American women use evangelical teachings and faith to negotiate their power in marital conflict and the division of household labor, to encourage husbands’ involvement with family, and persuade family members’ into becoming committed evangelical Christians. These women did so by bargaining gender expectation with husbands’ religious commitment, taking primary responsibility of housework, becoming submissive, and creating invisible resistance to their husbands. In such processes, women employ the act of prayer to negotiate gender relations and bring reform to their husbands’ behavior. The research findings suggest that religion plays an important role in dealing with problems in working-class, Asian-American women’s marriage and further improving their family life. By exploring working-class, Korean-American women’s complex motives and intentions of maintaining traditional gender relations and negotiating gender relations using evangelical Christianity, this study addresses the significance of religion in pious Asian-American women’s marriage and their use of religion in culture and class-specific ways.
Non-market Returns to Women Education in Sudan: Case of Fertility
Authors: Sid Ahmed Hanaa Mahmoud
Published: April 2019

This paper uses households’ data from central region of Sudan to examine the factors, which affect fertility. Thus, it examined the effect of parental education, income, mother age, residence area together with the effect of the interaction between fertility and child mortality, on fertility. Child mortality is instrumented on community and environmental health services, which are used as identifiers in the two-stage least squares estimation of the fertility function. The results suggest that mother’s education, child mortality, and mother’s age are important factors in determining the fertility level. Mother’s education, particularly university education, is found to have a significant negative impact on fertility, whereas child mortality and mother’s age have significant positive impact on fertility. The results of the two-stage least squares method are almost identical to those of the ordinary least squares method.
Changing Value of Children and Fertility Transition in Turkey
Authors: Klaus Daniela
Published: April 2019

This study examines the remarkable decrease of higher-order births since the 1950s in Turkey using the revised value of children approach. The explanatory power of the benefits and costs attributed to children was tested for a sample of 701 mothers from Istanbul and two Turkish villages. The findings suggest that the lower risk for a third child is largely explained by the progressively lower contribution made by subsequent children to their mother’s comfort and social esteem. This effect is greater for mothers who have benefited the most from the rapid socioeconomic development that has taken place in Turkey over the last decades and who, on average, are better educated, have more economic resources, and live more frequently in urban settings. In contrast, children’s contribution to mothers’ affection and stimulation and child-related costs adds nothing to the explanation of the historical decrease of higher-order births.
A Question of Matrimonial Strategy? A Comparison of Attitudes between Ghanaian and British University Students
Authors: Little Kenneth
Published: April 2019

This article is concerned basically with the changing status of African women. Its immediate purpose, however, is to elucidate the attitude of educated Ghanaian women toward the idea of being working wives and mothers. Many such women want to be treated by husbands as partners, and there is evidence that this objective is more readily achieved when the wife as well as the husband plays a breadwinning role.

To what extent are the women themselves alive to this situation and how do they intend to deal with it realistically? In an attempt to answer these questions, a group of young Ghanaian women was compared with a British sample of broadly similar educational status. Although neither group was randomly selected, it did appear that the Ghanaians were much more disposed than the British to regard University training as an important resource and instrument for economic purposes. A corollary of this was that the Ghanaians not only intended to continue working after marriage but were much more inclined than the British to be working mothers. This was despite the fact that in addition to wanting twice as many children as the British, the Ghanaians also wished to begin their families sooner.

These findings are discussed within the wider framework of Ghanaian society, including traditional precedents; for women working to support themselves. It is tentatively concluded that the Ghanaian girls’ apparently career-minded attitude does not necessarily signify rejection of an ‘ordinary’ uxorial role. More likely it betokens a pragmatic reaction to matrimonial difficulties greater and more complex than those confronting the British girls.
Ethnic Differentia Is in Age at First Marriage, Canada 1961
Authors: Reddy Indira I. , Krishnan P.
Published: April 2019

Estimates of the singulate mean age at first marriage for the different ethnic groups in Canada are provided by employing the Hajnal procedure. While the Japanese males and females are characterized by the highest age at first marriage, the males and females of British origin have the earliest entry into wedlock. Age specific first marriage rates have been presented for the four major ethnic groups in Canada with the help of the Krishnan-Robert model marriage tables. The known social correlates of marriage are unable to account for the ethnic differentials in the age of first marriage in Canada. It is then concluded that the differentials might have emanated from the value system and norms derived from the parent cultures.
Premarital Sexual Permissiveness of College Students in Hong Kong
Authors: Raschke Vernon
Published: April 2019

This research compares the premarital sexual permissiveness of 264 American college students in the midwest, 26 students from Hong Kong who are studying in the United States, and 153 students attending colleges and universities in Hong Kong. We found that Reiss’ (1967) Premarital Sexual Permissiveness Scales worked as Guttman scalee for the Chinese students. that Chinese students in Hong Kong are less permissive and less active concerning premarital sex, and that the majority of determinants of premarital sexual permissiveness found by Reiss (1967) and others to hold for Americans also hold as determinants of permissiveness for Chinese students. We also found that the Chinese students who were studying in America tended to adopt American standards of premarital sexual attitudes and behaviors.
Antecedents of Adolescent Self Evaluation : A Cross-National Application of a Model
Authors: Buehler Charles J. , Weigert Andrew J. , Thomas Darwin
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this cross-national study was to: a) initiate construction of a model to analyze the development of self evaluation among adolescents; and b) to show that this process of development occurs cross-culturally. A path model was constructed based on a symbolic interaction perspective. Seven variables assumed to be antecedents of self evaluation were included in the model: SES, support from the mother and from the father, the adolescent's evaluation of his/her mother and of his/her father; self religiosity of the adolescent, and evaluation of culturally significant religious images. The model was evaluated using Catholic high school samples from five cultures: Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, West Germany and the United States. The total sample included 1069 boys and 916 girls . The results show that the same process of self evaluation occurs cross-sexually and cross-nationall y . The results also indicate that the evaluation of the parents (an indicator of identification w ith the parents) and identification of the self with religious images (which are valued social symbols in these social situations) are the most important positive antecedents tested . Religiosity and SES are not significantly related to self evaluation. Father support is positively related to self evaluation, but rnother support, controlling for the interaction of the other dependent variables in the model, is negatively related. Explanation of this unexpected finding is provided.
Socio-Cultural Determination of Fertility: A Case Study of Rural Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Ukaegbu Alfred O.
Published: April 2019

The debate concerning the relative effect upon human fertility of sociocultural factors is continued by investigation of the case of Eastern Nigeria. The basis of analysis in the mean number of children over born to a sample of wives during a single, demographic inquiry in 1974.; A step-wise multiple regression analysis and cross-tabulations are used to display the relative effect of selected variables upon ferti I ity. The results show that of all significant factors of fertility in the region, infant and childhood mortality, as well as a consequent unwillingness to cease chi Id-bearing are the leading socio-cultural determinants of the high fertility recorded in the region.
Studying and evaluating the impacts of oil and gas facilities on the environment of the northern territories to prevent and reduce adverse anthropogenic impacts
Authors: Gileva Larisa N. , Egorova Natalya V.
Published: April 2019

The growth of energy consumption entails an increase in the production of hydrocarbons, the number of fields, which are involved in this process, and the territory of license areas. Overall, environmental impact may be increased. Northern territories of our country are more exposed to anthropogenic impact from the oil and gas facilities because of huge oil and gas reserves availability. Therefore, the strategic developments for the greening of production on the basis of the concept of sustainable exploitation of these territories are very important. Suggested concept involves a balanced activity that provides high economic efficiency and environmental safety, aimed at reducing adverse anthropogenic consequences.

The assessment of the impact of oil and gas facilities on the environment was carried out in the territory of the West Chatylkinsky field of Krasnoselkupsky district of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The results obtained allowed assessing the degree of impact of cluster sites and communication corridors of the objects of the land and property complex of the oil field and developing recommendations to reduce adverse anthropogenic consequences in order to protect the environment and ensure the greening of land use.
Studying the boundaries of the oil reservoir taking into account fluid contacts
Authors: Katanov Yury E. , Savina Marina E. , Yagafarov Saveliy A.
Published: April 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying deposits in Western Siberia completely undersaturated with oil. At a primary test of such reservoirs from their roofing part joint inflows of oil with water are always received. The analysis of research results shows that the determination of the deposit area depends on a large extent on the reliability of the installed fluid contacts in the section of each well. We give examples of discrepancies between well testing interpretation and well test results. There are also examples of the groundlessness of the separation of a single geological body into several counting objects. The size of the shift of oil-water contact is determined by the action of capillary forces.

Technology’s roles in student-centred learning in higher education
Authors: Trinidad Jose Eos , Ngo Galvin Radley
Published: April 2019

Given challenges of covering course content, ensuring skills acquisition, and assessing student’s work, higher education faculty often experience difficulties in practicing student-centered learning. The education literature has shown that one way of addressing these concerns is through the use of educational technologies. In this action research, ten faculty members from a Philippine university participated in a coaching programme on using technology for student-centered learning. From interviews and classroom observations, the study finds that when introduced to appropriate tools, higher education faculty use technologies for interactive learning, timely feedback, and better engagement with students. The present research elaborates how faculty from different departments have used these technologies and how the students have responded to their use. The study contributes to the discussion of how technologies can enhance student learning and complement classroom instruction.
Research Counts, Not the Journal
Authors: Abambres Miguel , Lantsoght Eva
Published: April 2019

‘If there is one thing every bibliometrician agrees, is that you should never use the journal impact factor (JIF) to evaluate research performance for an article or an individual – that is a mortal sin’. Few sentences could define so precisely the uses and misuses of the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) better than Anthony van Raan’s. This manuscript presents a critical overview on the international use, by governments and institutions, of the JIF and/or journal indexing information for individual research quality assessment. Interviews given by Nobel Laureates speaking on this matter are partially illustrated in this work. Furthermore, the authors propose complementary and alternative versions of the journal impact factor, respectively named Complementary (CIF) and Timeless (TIF) Impact Factors, aiming to better assess the average quality of a journal – never of a paper or an author. The idea behind impact factors is not useless, it has just been misused.

Kualitas skenario memiliki kontribusi terhadap mutu acara TV/ film, termasuk program pendidikan. Hal ini penting karena kenyataanya produk TV/film lokal kita masih sulit bersaing dengan produk asing. Tulisan ini melakukan analisis/kajian literatur dan empirik terhadap skenario TV termasuk program pendidikan. Hasil analisis dari beberapa sumber dan pengalaman empirik diketahui bahwa kelemahan skenario antara lain: keterbatasan wawasan penulis terhadap substansi tuntutan skenario, alur cerita kurang variatif dinamis, penokohan yang terkesan datar, penggunaan bahasa, serta penghargaan terhadap penulis yang masih kurang. Sementara itu penulisan skenario untuk program pendidikan di samping aspek tadi, penulis terjebak pada penyampaian substansi materi pembelajaran sehingga mengabaikan aspek estetika, memaksakan membuat alur cerita dari substansi materi yang kurang pas, serta memindahkan ruangan kelas ke layar TV. Oleh karena itu, untuk memperoleh hasil skenario yang bermutu perlu kesadaran semua pihak, bahwa peningkatan mutu acara TV lokal agar bisa bersaing dengan produk asing harus dimuali dengan skenario yang bermutu.
SAMPLING DALAM PENELITIAN PENDIDIKAN

Penelitian dalam ilmu pendidikan dapat berupa kualitatif maupun kuantitatif. Dalam penelitian kuantitatif, data dikumpulkan dengan mengukur variabel dari subjek penelitian untuk mendapatkan data yang objektif, bebas nilai dan teruji. Proses pengumpulan dapat dilakukan atas seluruh subjek yang dinamakan populasi atau atas sebagiannya yang disebut sampel. Jika data dikumpulkan dari sampel, maka sampel harus dipilih dari populasi sebelum pengumpulan data. Pemilihan sampel dari populasinya dinamakan sampling. Sampling dapat dilakukan secara random atau tidak. Keduanya berbeda dalam peluang semua subjek terpilih menjadi anggota sampel. Dalam sampling random, seluruh subjek populasi memiliki peluang yang sama, sedang dalam sampling nonrandom tidak. Sampling random dapat dijalankan dalam tiga langkah: menentukan kesalahan sampling, menentukan jumlah sampel, dan menggunakan teknik sampling yang tepat. Menurut karakter populasi, sampling random dapat berupa : sederhana, berstrata atau kluster. Menurut alasan sampling, sampling nonrandom dapat berupa : purposif, kuota, insidental, ketersediaan atau sistematik.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat keterbacaan media video pendidikan sekolah sebagai media pembelajaran. Adapun aspek yang diteliti meliputi aspek: media, pembelajaran, dan materi. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap siswa kelas III SMP pada mata pelajaran Biologi dan Fisika. Hasil analisa data menunjukan bahwa ketiga aspek dalam media video cukup baik. Yang perlu digarisbawahi dari hasil pembahasan diketahui bahwa siswa lebih tertarik pada objek visual yang relatif unik, dan jarang mereka temukan, serta benda-benda yang abstrak yang disajikan melalui media tersebut. Mereka seolah menemukan suasana belajar yang baru dan lebih kondusif dibandingkan dengan belajar tanpa media. Oleh karena itu sebagai rekomendasinya, media video/televisi perlu terus dikembangkan dan disebarluaskan ke sekolah-sekolah untuk dimanfaatkan dengan memperhatikan kebutuhan dan karakteristik media tersebut.

On the diversity of the effects of the state support for agriculture
Authors: Svetlov Nikolai M. , Yanbykh Renata G. , Loginova Dariya A.
Published: April 2019

In this paper, we assess the effects of agricultural state support of corporate farms on their revenues from agricultural production sales in 14 Russian regions that differ in technology, environment and institutional conditions. In addition to the direct effect of the state support, the indirect effects via labor and capital are revealed. For this purpose, we identify production functions and statistical models of production factors for each of these regions separately. We find out diverse effects of the state support on revenues among the regions. Positive effects prevail. Negative effects are mainly caused by labor reductions that follow subsidy inflows. Another cause of negative effects is the soft budget constraints phenomenon.

Published: April 2019

Intelligent decision is the key technology of smart systems. Data mining technology has been playing an increasingly important role in decision making activities. The introduction of weight makes the weighted frequent itemsets not satisfy the downward closure property any longer. As a result, the search space of frequent itemsets cannot be narrowed according to downward closure property which leads to a poor time efficiency. In this paper, the weight judgment downward closure property for weighted frequent itemsets and the existence property of weighted frequent subsets are introduced and proved first. The Fuzzy-based WARM satisfies the downward closure property and prunes the insignificant rules by assigning the weight to the itemset. This reduces the computation time and execution time. This paper presents an Enhanced Fuzzy-based Weighted AssociationRuleMining(E-FWARM) algorithm for efficient mining of the frequent itemsets. The pre-filtering method is applied to the input dataset to remove the item having low variance. Data discretization is performed and E-FWARM is applied for mining the frequent itemsets. The experimental results show that the proposed E-FWARM algorithm yields maximum frequent items, association rules, accuracy and minimum execution time than the existing algorithms.

The number of sexual harassment victims (mostly children) are increasing every year. It shows that the government’s a wareness to protect the children is necessary. The victims will experience obstructions in growing and developing. Education, health and welfare are children’s basic needs that must be fulfilled in order to develop optimally. From 2011-2014, there are 2286 cases of sexual harassment including violence, sodomy, and pedophilia. Those cases were handled slowly so it was not enough to punished the perpetrator. Children that used to be victims could become perpetrators because of their disappointment, stress, frustration, depression, even for a revenge. Rehabilitation as a program to cure the trauma is needed in those cases. Unfortunately, rehabilitation often have limited facilities and experts so they usually facing difficulties in recovering traumatic patients. Professional psychologists and doctor specialist are also unable to cure the trauma. It is required integrated counseling from professional counselor to solving those trauma. Based on Presidential Instruction No 5 year in 2014, relevant ministries and government agencies should provide children rights protection through legal force. It is showed that protecting children as a goldenen generation is gone of government’s duty. Those duty could be done by using integrity counseling.
