The Implementation of Reading Assessment Method
Authors: Vidhiasi Dhion Meitreya
Published: May 2022

English, which is still considered a foreign language in Indonesia, has an impact on the teaching and learning process that is not optimal. This refers to the low proficiency in English, especially those of the Akademi Maritim Nusantara (AMN) Cilacap students. Good reading skills are one of the skills that AMN Cilacap students must possess. This is in line with the mission of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia which makes reading and writing literacy the first position of the 6 (six) literacy abilities that must be possessed. The measurement of reading ability can be done in various ways. This study aims to see what methods are used by English language lecturers in assessing the reading ability of AMN Cilacap students. Also, the researcher wanted to see what methods the lecturer used most often. Researchers conducted a small survey of 2 (two) lecturers who taught English courses from 2 (two) different study programs, namely Marine Engineering and Port Management. Researchers distributed 2 (two) kinds of questionnaires which were then supported by interviews with each lecturer. The results show that there are 6 (six) methods used by the two lecturers in assessing reading skills. The Perceptive Task method is the method most often used. Even so, in choosing the right assessment method, the lecturer must also understand the conditions and level of understanding possessed by students.

Published: May 2022

For early childhood, listening to stories can be a very useful stimulation for the development of their language skills. The development of English language skills from an early age plays an important role, because through language, children begin to hone their reasoning and skills by learning to express their thoughts and emotions. This study aimed to measure the Mean of Length Utterance (MLU) in early age children stimulated by storytelling aided by digital printing puppets. This research was a qualitative research conducted at Al-Washliyah Kindergarten. The utterances in English which were stimulated by storytelling by utilizing digital printing puppets became the data in this study. The findings showed that children's English skills developed when the teacher told stories using digital printing puppet media in the learning process. Storytelling is beneficial not only for learning the mother tongue but also for learning foreign languages because it aids in the memorization of new words by stimulating attention, providing excitement, and so on. Children absorb new material faster and better, making language development more accessible.

Published: May 2022

Heat stress is a major problem raised in agriculture sector due to increasing temperature in temperature. Due to Increase in temperature plant en counter physiological and biochemical changes which directly affect plant growth and production. There are multiples method of seed treatment for improving heat stress tolerance during seed germination for better growth and production. There are different biotic and abiotic stresses throughout plant ontogeny. To overcome these stresses different approaches have been made and practiced, there are few methods that are still in research in different research institute. The negative effects of heat stress can be reduced by developing plant extracts through the development of thermo tolerance using a variety of genetic methods. For this purpose, however, a complete understanding of plant life responses to high temperatures, heat tolerance methods and possible techniques for improving plant heat tolerance is essential. Some treatment can be particularly time consuming, while other treatment are denied by countries in the world.

Authors: Basera Vitalis , Njerekai Cleopas , Utete Farai
Published: May 2022

This paper examines and ranks sustainable tourism certification concerns raised by managers of the pilot certified facilities in Zimbabwe. In the broader context, these concerns could be the reasons for the low uptake of these schemes in the country and on the continent. An email questionnaire with a three-item Likert scale and follow-up telephone interviews with 13 pilot test eco-certified facilities in the country were undertaken to collect the data. The results were thematically analysed. A ranked analysis of the concerns revealed a low uptake level of the scheme and the exclusion of guests in the certification process was the most important concern. Thirteen concerns were raised to corroborate previously raised concerns. It is recommended that there should be concerted efforts towards addressing the issue of low adoption levels of this tool both at the country and continental levels.

Authors: Appau Williams , Aziabah Samson Akanvose , Attakora-Amaniampong Elvis
Published: May 2022

The emergence of COVID-19 and the consequent travel restrictions have led to a decrease in the patronage of hotel services in nearly all economies in the world. In this circumstance, location attributes have become even more important in hotel pricing and investment decision-making. It is even more interesting to see how this plays out in emerging economies such as Ghana. The study assesses the effect of location attributes on hotel pricing during the COVID-19 pandemic period in Tamale. A sequential mixed research design including Mixed Spatial Hedonic Price Approach, Exploratory Factor Analysis and key informant interviews was employed. A sample of 815 tourists and 163 hotels was used. Hotel class, road accessibility, age of building, and hotel rate are the key determinants of hotel pricing. Among these, the hotel class showed more significance in influencing pricing decisions in the COVID-19 period. The models show that the hotel class with positive coefficients are located outside the city centre of Tamale. This has resulted in increased Yield To Maturity because the hotels located outside the city centre received more clients, with grade one hotels showing a huge net income and good post-COVID-19 investment drive. The results show that potential hotel investors should consider hotel class as a major entry decision factor during and after periods of the pandemic.

Reflexões psicanalíticas sobre a pandemia em Lupa da Alma: Quarentena Revelação
Authors: Silva Júnior Stamberg José da
Published: May 2022

A hospedagem de um vírus numa partícula de replicação genética alastrada pelo mundo abriu a caixa de Pandora e desvelou a conexão súbita que existe entre nós, nossas vulnerabilidades e a morte. A pandemia do sars-cov-2 nos colocou face a face ante à indefensabilidade e ausência de controle humano ao processo de criação e destruição ontológico à natureza. E isso traz mais angústia, mais sofrimento – o que pode nos deixar menos alienados e menos covardemente ocultos dos paredões de anestesia que criamos para sobreviver. A quarentena é uma porta de oportunidades para olharmos, inclusive, para a nossa “carentena”, como argumenta Maria Homem no Lupa da Alma: quarentena-revelação.

The Art of Making Theatre
Authors: Howard Pamela , Drábek Pavel
Published: May 2022

In this book, world-renowned theatre artist Pamela Howard OBE shows how her life has always been part of the art of making theatre. Part memoir, part a personal account of artistic creation, it is a work of art in its own right. Its 12 chapters, accompanied by original drawings, offer insights into Pamela Howard’s creative world and the journey through life of a celebrated artist, ranging from her early life and influences, to her time at art college and the inspiration she gained from travelling the world.

Following the trajectory of her life, the 12 ‘dreams’ are poised between memory and history and give an account of an artist’s growth, resilience, working patterns, and life-changing encounters with remarkable personalities and artists, as well as the practical side of working in the theatre, in visual arts and in education. Her art tells unexpected stories of little-noticed people and émigré communities, and makes performance for diverse audiences from the unique experience of one’s own life. Pamela Howard's dreams have led her to work across the globe and teach and inspire several generations of theatre makers, scenographers, designers and visual artists. The Art of Making Theatre passes on that inspiration afresh and demonstrates that being an artist is not a one-off project but a way of life.
Listening After Nature
Authors: Wright Mark Peter
Published: May 2022

Listening After Nature questions the reality of auditory natures. It argues that the line between wilderness and industrial culture is dull, and the natural world is presently a critical construct that entangles humans, animals, sites and technologies. Bringing new insights to the field of environmental sound arts in areas such as field recording, acoustic ecology and soundscape studies, Wright examines contemporary and archival audio works and calls for a ‘post-natural’ approach to sound. The book propels sounds arts discourse into critical relationship with the environmental humanities and contemporary approaches dealing with the consequences of Anthropogenic change. Critical and imaginative, this is a book that forges urgent debate between sound, ethics, aesthetics and ecology.

Introduction

In Mexico, cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the most important cause of mortality and disability. We aimed to analyze the mortality rate due to specific causes of atherothrombotic CVD from 2011 to 2015.

Material and methods

We analyzed 3,105,975 death certificates issued from January 2011 through December 2015. The 10th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes was used to select CVD death records for ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease. Regional analyses from the different federal states were also performed.

Results

We analyzed 594,370 (19.1%) death certificates. Age-standardized CVD mortality showed a more stable pattern, from 96.7 per 100,000 people in 2011, to 111.7 per 100,000 in 2015. Cause-specific mortality rates increased more during the period for ischemic heart disease (63.8 vs. 74.8 per 100,000 people, in 2011 vs. 2015, respectively), as compared to heart failure (6.9 vs. 8.1 per 100,000 people), cerebrovascular disease (28.4 vs. 30.2 per 100,000 people), or peripheral artery disease (0.52 vs. 0.55 per 100,000 people). Overall, the survival age was significantly shorter in men (mean age at death 72.04±16.23 years) than in women (77.73±14.77). Ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease showed the shortest survivals. The number of deaths increased steadily among the older population, with the steepest increase for overall ischemic heart disease over time.

Conclusions

Atherothrombotic CVD mortality in Mexico increased during the study period due to ischemic heart disease. Compared to their counterparts, survival age was shorter in men and in patients with ischemic heart disease and stroke.
Individualized Emotion Recognition through Dual- Representations and Group-Established Ground Truth
Authors: Zhang Valentina
Published: May 2022

While facial expression is a complex and individualized behavior, all facial emotion recognition (FER) systems known to us rely on a single facial representation and are trained on universal data. We conjecture that: (i) different facial representations can provide complementing views of emotions; (ii) when employed collectively in a discussion group setting, they enable accurate FER which is highly desirable in autism care and applications sensitive to errors. In this paper, we first study FER using pixel-based DL vs semantics-based DL in the context of deepfake videos. The study confirms our conjectures. Armed with the findings, we have constructed an adaptive FER system learning from both types of models for dyadic or small interacting groups and further leveraging the synthesized group emotions as the ground truth for individualized FER training. Using a collection of group conversation videos, we demonstrate that FER accuracy and personalization can benefit from such an approach.
A Domain Ontology for Modeling the Book of Purification in Islam
Authors: Alawwad Hessa Abdulrahman
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to fill the gap in major Islamic topics by developing an ontology for the Book of Purification in Islam. Many trusted books start with the Book of Purification as it is the key to prayer (Second Pillar after Shahadah, the profession of faith) and required in Islamic duties like performing Umrah and Hajj. The strategy for developing the ontology included six steps: (1) domain identification, (2) knowledge acquisition, (3) conceptualization, (4) classification, (5) integration and implementation, and (6) ontology generation. Examples of the built tables and classifications are included in this paper. Focus in this paper is given to the design and analysis phases where the technical implementing of the proposed ontology is not within this paper’s objectives. Though, we presented an initial implementation to illustrate the steps of our strategy. We make sure that this ontology or knowledge representation on the Book of Purification in Islam satisfy reusability, where the main attributes, concepts, and their relationships are defined and encoded. This formal encoding will be available for sharing and reusing.
An Improved NLP for Syntactic and Semantic Matching using Bidirectional LSTM and Attention Mechanism
Authors: Abbas Fadya
Published: May 2022

Dealing with extensive amounts of textual data requires an efficient deep learning model to be adapted. However, the following reasons; the highly ambiguous and complex nature of many prosodic phrasing also enough dataset suitable for system training is always limited, cause big challenges for training the NLP models. This proposed conceptual framework aims to provide an understanding and familiarity with the elements of modern deep learning networks for NLP use. In this design, the encoder uses Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory deep network layers, to encode the test sequences into more context-sensitive representations. Moreover, the attention mechanism is mainly used to generate a context vector that is determined from distinct alignment scores at different word positions, hence, it can focus more on a small words' subset. Hence, the attention mechanism improved the model data efficiency, and the model performance is validated using an example of data sets that show promise for a real-life application.
Approaches in Fake News Detection : An Evaluation of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning Techniques on the Reddit Social Network
Authors: Shariff Moosa , Thoms Brian , T. Isaacs Jason , Vakilian Vida
Published: May 2022

Classifier algorithms are a subfield of data mining and play an integral role in finding patterns and relationships within large datasets. In recent years, fake news detection has become a popular area of data mining for several important reasons, including its negative impact on decision-making and its virality within social networks. In the past, traditional fake news detection has relied primarily on information context, while modern approaches rely on auxiliary information to classify content. Modelling with machine learning and natural language processing can aid in distinguishing between fake and real news. In this research, we mine data from Reddit, the popular online discussion forum and social news aggregator, and measure machine learning classifiers in order to evaluate each algorithm’s accuracy in detecting fake news using only a minimal subset of data.
Data Visualization of Graph-Based Threat Detection System
Authors: Nikseresht Ilnaz , Traore Issa , Baniasadi Amirali
Published: May 2022

The Activity and Event Network Model (AEN) is a new security knowledge graph that leverages large dynamic uncertain graph theory to capture and analyze stealthy and longterm attack patterns. Because the graph is expected to become extremely large over time, it can be very challenging for security analysts to navigate it and identify meaningful information. We present different visualization layers deployed to improve the graph model’s presentation. The main goal is to build an enhanced visualization system that can more simply and effectively overlay different visualization layers, namely edge/node type, node property, node age, node’s probability of being compromised, and the threat horizon layer. Therefore, with the help of the developed layers, the network security analysts can identify suspicious network security events and activities as soon as possible.
Intelligent Unit Level Test Generator for Enhanced Software Quality
Authors: Luo Ning , Zhang Linlin
Published: May 2022

Unit level test has been widely recognized as an important approach to improving software quality, as it can expose bugs earlier during the development phase. However, manual unit level test development is often tedious and insufficient. Also, it is hard for developers to precisely identify the most error prone code block deserving the best test coverage by themselves. In this paper, we present the automatic Unit level test framework we used for intel media driver development. It can help us identify the most critical code block, provide the test coverage recommendation, and automatically generate >80% ULT code (~400K Lines of test code) as well as ~35% test cases (~7K test cases) for intel media driver. It helps us to greatly shrink the average ULT development effort from ~24 Man hours to ~3 Man hours per 1000 Lines of driver source code.

Autonomous Vehicles Lateral Control under Various Scenarios
Authors: Ali Jemmali Mohamed , T. Mouftah Hussein
Published: May 2022

In this paper, the autonomous vehicle presented as a discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy (T-S) model. We used the discrete-time T-S model since it is ready for the implementation unlike the continuous T-S fuzzy model. The main goal is to keep the autonomous vehicle in the centreline of the lane regardless the external disturbances. These disturbances are the wind force and the unknown curvature; they are applied to test if the autonomous vehicle moves from the centreline. To ensure that the autonomous vehicle remain on the centreline we propose a discrete-time fuzzy lateral controller called also steering controller.

Published: May 2022

Osmanlı Devleti’nin en parlak dönemi olarak bilinen XVI. asır, içte ve dışta elde edilen başarıların yanı sıra suhte ve levend tâifesi gibi bazı kesimlerden kaynaklanan birtakım huzursuzlukların da varlığına sahne olmuştur. Özellikle Anadolu’nun iç ve batısında etkili olan suhte olayları Bursa’da huzursuzluk yaratmıştır. Bu tür olumsuzlukların önüne geçilebilmesi için merkezden gönderilen emirlerle medreselerdeki talebelerden kefil talep edilmiş ve suhtelerin silahla gezmeleri yasaklanmıştır. Alınan tüm önlemlere rağmen birtakım olumsuzluklar yaşanabilmiştir. Suhtelerin bu dönemde organize bir şekilde evini basarak mal ve parasını çalıp, öldürdükleri kişilerden biri de Emir Gazi’dir. Tebriz’den Yavuz Sultan Selim’le birlikte gelen aileler arasında yer alan Emir Gazi, seyyid unvanına sahiptir. Bursa’da selâtîn vakıfları tevliyeti gibi önemli vazifeler yürütmüş, toplum nazarında saygın bir konum elde etmiştir. Yine kendisi gibi Tebriz’den gelmiş olan Yavuz Sultan Selim’in nedimi Hasan Can’la da yakınlığı bulunmaktadır. Emir Gazi’nin kâtilleri kısa sürede tespit edilip başka bir şehirde yakalanmıştır. Bundan sonra uzun bir davalar silsile-si ve merkezle yazışma süreci yaşanmıştır. Söz konusu kayıtlar, fâillerin hepsinin olay yerinden ustalıkla kaçtığı hallerde bile Osmanlı yargı sürecinin ne kadar hızlı işletilebildiğini gösterebilmesi açısından oldukça anlamlıdır.

Published: May 2022

Cellular therapy of injuries of the nervous system with autologous cellular material of the patient requires the development of methods of neurodifferentiation of stem and progenitor cells of the adult organism. The use of autologous cells is the most acceptable from the point of view of biosafety and compatibility. In our work, we investigated the possibility of directed neurogenesis of circulating blood precursors adhered fraction, obtained from the patient with spinal cord injury. These cells were cultured for 2 weeks using neuroinducers (retinoic acid, BDNF, NGF). During the first 3 days of cultivation, the adherent fraction of cells consisted of round cells of small and medium size with a large nucleus and a narrow rim of the cytoplasm, which gradually stratified and formed an oval and granular shape. Subsequent cultivation showed that the cells acquire morphological characteristics of different types of cells of the nervous system. At the end of this period, the predominant cell population was Nest+. The patient’s own cells after stimulation of neurogenic differentiation in vitro were removed, washed from medium components and injected into the spinal canal. Intracisterial and paraventricular administration of this fraction to the patient significantly improved impaired function.

A good reproductive performance will have an effect on increasing the efficiency of beef cattle production. That factors include genetics and management. This study was to determine the causes of CI and EPP its longer than normal. Its 205 beef cattle were used, with normal estrus, good health conditions and traditional management breeding systems. Furthermore, it was divided into two research series, first based on breed, and second on recording status, the parameters data had taken were CI and EPP. The research was conducted by observing and interviewing with breeders and collecting data from the farmer and conducted for 2 months. The results indicate that the age and breed factors do not show a significant difference between groups, while the recording status factor showed a significant difference between complete data and incomplete groups and no recording groups. From these results, it can be seen that the management factor affects the production performance of beef cattle compared to breed factors as genetic factors.

4857 sayılı Kanun ile Türk iş hukuku, batı hukuk sistemlerinde sıklıkla uygulanan esnek çalışma modelleri ile tanışmıştır. Bu çalışma modellerinden olan kısmi süreli çalışma ve kısa çalışma ülkemizde sıklıkla uygulanan çalışma yöntemlerindendir. Kısmi çalışma, çalışma sürelerinin azaltılması ile yapılan çalışma olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu çalışma biçimi özellikle kadınlar, öğrenciler ve emekliler açısından istihdam alanı oluşturan bir modeldir. Kısa çalışma ise ekonomik bir kriz yahut, ‘Koronavirüs’ salgınında görüldüğü üzere bir zorlayıcı sebep halinde işverenin işletme rizikosunun işçiler ve devlet arasında paylaştıran, bu paylaşım sayesinde iş sözleşmelerini ayakta tutan bir çalışma biçimidir. Kısmi çalışma ve kısa çalışma fonetik olarak birbirine yakın iki kavramdır. İşitsel benzerliğin yanında, her iki uygulamada da haftalık çalışma sürelerinin aynı ölçüde azaltılması gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma yaşamında ve hatta yer yer yargı kararlarında iki kavramın birbiri ile karıştırıldığı, birinin diğeri yerine kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Belirtilen benzerliklerinin yanında kısmi süreli çalışma ve kısa çalışmanın uygulanmaya başlanma süreci, uygulanma aşaması ve doğurdukları hükümler ile sonuçları açısından önemli farkları söz konusudur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle kısmi süreli çalışmanın tanımı ve unsurları açıklanmış, daha sonra kısa çalışmanın tanımı ve koşulları incelenmiştir. Ardından iki çalışma yöntemi arasındaki benzerlikler ve farklar ortaya konulmuştur.

На сьогодні питання цілеспрямованого використання м’ясної сировини з урахуванням характеру автолітичних змін набуває особливого значення. Внесення до фаршевих систем харчових фосфатів в якості добавок у технології м’ясопродуктів впливає на м’язові білки. Альтернативою використання фосфатів в технології м’ясних продуктів є харчові добавки та інгредієнти з високою буферною ємністю. Зменшення частки фосфатів в рецептурах м’ясопродуктів, безумовно, позитивно вплине на медико-біологічну оцінку готових виробів, сприятиме зміні властивостей і якості готових продуктів в процесі зберігання
