A critical inquiry into in-service EFL teachers’ intercultural self-efficacy beliefs and experiences
Authors: KANİ Zeynep Gülşah , YILMAZTÜRK Seda
Published: June 2021

This paper examines the intercultural self-efficacy beliefs and experiences of university EFL teachers from socially and linguistically diverse backgrounds working at English language preparatory schools in İstanbul. Adopting a mixed-methods case study design under a critical interpretivist theoretical framework, the study included both quantitative and qualitative data collected through an intercultural self-efficacy beliefs and experiences scale and via interviews with interculturally experienced participants from Turkish, Western and Middle Eastern backgrounds. Descriptive statistical and thematic analyses revealed that the teachers had intercultural experiences mostly in their workplaces and that they developed positive attitudes toward diversity in the classroom though they were concerned about intercultural language teaching in practice due to the time constraint. The teachers highlighted some of the features that could be regarded as a part of having intercultural competence: being respectful and willing to communicate with diverse people, accepting diversity, discussing the different and unknown, and displaying humour. Their accounts of intercultural experiences were indicative of a complex, layered and overlapping view of culture influenced by several discourses, the most frequently referred ones of which were ‘individualism’ and ‘collectivism’. In the light of the study, we offer implications and new insights into ‘non-monocentric’ cultural threads through the eyes of language teachers as one of the key actors in classrooms, where local praxes and discourses may have more impact than national or international ones.

Somongari Village, located in Purworejo District, Central Java Province, is well-known as a producer of durian and mangosteen fruits. The income of Somongari Villagers depends on this commodity, however because of durian and mangosteen can only be harvested during a specific season, the villager plans to build vegetable houses for their daily needs. Based on the data obtained through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with representatives of the villager and farmer group, the villager had not used organic fertilizers and pesticides. The practicality and fast yield of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides are the reasons villagers use them more. In contrast, the application of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides can hurt the environment and human health. Therefore, education was carried out for the Somongari villagers to increase the knowledge and awareness of environmental sustainability and health, primarily due to inorganic fertilizer and pesticide impact. The method used in this event was include preparation (coordination and problem identification through FGD), implementation (delivery of material), evaluation, and follow-up plans. After this activity, public knowledge of the impact of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides has increased. It can be seen from the pretest and post-test scores, respectively, before and after the material's presentation. In addition, the success of this program can also be seen from the awareness of the villager to make follow-up plans related to the production of organic fertilizers and pesticides.

Authors: Reynard Budy Setiawan  , Desak Gede Agung Suprabawati  , Jusak Nugraha
Published: June 2021

Background: Immunohistochemical testing is important in determining clinical diagnosis and therapy, and is useful as a prognostic and predictive factor, but it is not easy to do and is not always available. Breast cancer patient with higher low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-c]. level tends to have larger tumor size, higher grade, higher proliferation rate, positive Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2 (HER2-neu) and occasionally come at late stage. High LDL-c receptors are found on the surface of breast cancer cells, where cancer cells will take up cholesterol in serum, and a metabolite of 27-hydroxycholesterol cholesterol will affect Estrogen Receptor-α. Methods: Analytical observational study by cross sectional method, during July 2020 – November 2020, at Oncology Clinic Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya with a total sample size of 42. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS version 23.0 program, regression test and Chi-Square were performed for characteristic analysis and Chi-Square Fischer’s Exact Test were performed for correlation test between lipid profiles with hormonal status. Results: The mean value of LDL-c was 117.88 ± 33.89 mg/dL. In the analysis of the correlation between LDL-c and hormonal status, it was found that the majority of patients who had positive hormonal status had LDL-c levels of ≤160 mg/dL with p value = 0.049. ROC analysis shown LDL-c cut-off point of 132 mg/dL, p value = 0.034 (OR 5.031, 95% CI 1.159-21.848), sensitivity 46.7% and specificity 83.35%. Conclusion: There is a statistically significant relationship between LDL-c levels and hormonal status with the cut-off point of 132 mg/dL. The increase in LDL-c in serum increases the tendency of negative hormonal status, therefore LDL-c levels can be considerate in determining the therapy for breast cancer patients.

While the values for benthic sediment were 1.55±0.38 (x108), 1.68±0.32 (x108), 2.24±0.34 (x108) for THB, 1.14±0.32 (x107), 1.24±0.88 (x107), 1.48±0.90 (x107) for CUB, 1.12±0.31 (x107), 1.20±0.52 (x107), 1.40±0.16 (x107) for TF and 8.2±0.12 (x105), 6.2±0.43 (x105), 1.01±0.12 (x106) for CUF. The results showed that there was no significant difference (p> 0.05) in the mean values of each physicochemical parameter across the different microhabitats and stations. This result revealed the massive impacts of anthropogenic gradients on the biology and physicochemistry of Iko River estuary.
Digitaalisten kulttuurikäyttöliittymien piilevä normatiivisuus — Kirjallisuuden muuttuva poetiikka
Authors: Kangaskoski Matti
Published: June 2021

Artikkeli ottaa lähtökohdakseen sen hypoteesin, että digitaaliset kulttuurikäyttöliittymät, kuten striimauspalvelut, verkkokaupat, sosiaalinen media, kulttuuriuutiset ja -lehdet verkossa ovat muodostuneet merkittäväksi osaksi sitä ympäristöä, jossa kohtaamme kulttuurituotteita ja ajatuksia. Samalla kun digitaalisten kulttuurikäyttöliittymien rooli ikkunana kulttuuriseen maailmaan kasvaa, sen muodot ja käytännöt normalisoituvat ja muuttuvat kulttuuriympäristön “ei-ajatelluiksi ehdoiksi” (Piippo & Roine 2020). Ei-ajatellut ehdot katoavat näkyvistä, mutta ehdollistavat toimintaa ja siihen kytkeytyviä arvoja.

Artikkelin alussa ponnistan Antoinette Rouvroyn ja Thomas Bernsin (2013) immanentin normatiivisuuden – jota kutsun tässä suomeksi piileväksi normatiivisuudeksi – ajatuksesta sekä Michel Foucault’n vallan ja hallinnan käsitteistä esittääkseni, että juuri ympäristön ja siihen kytkeytyvien käytäntöjen normalisoituminen mahdollistaa digitaalisenkin ympäristön piilevän normatiivisuuden. Piilevän normatiivisuuden kautta syntyy arvoja, jotka alkavat vaikuttaa luonnollisilta ja kyseenalaistamattomilta, ja jotka rohkaisevat tietynlaiseen kulttuuriseen poetiikkaan.

Tarkastelen digitaalista ympäristöä lähemmin sen kulttuurisen poetiikan hypoteesien avulla ja esitän, että poetiikka syntyy digitaalisten kulttuurikäyttöliittymien kulttuurisen logiikan sekä tarjoumien seurauksena. Hypoteesini ovat, että digitaalisten käyttöliittymien poetiikkaan kuuluvat ainakin 1) nopea tunnistettavuus, 2) selvärajainen ja korostunut affektiivisuus 3) ilmiön kompleksisuuden ja ”hälyn” korkea kompressoituminen sekä 4) laskennallisuuden ja vertaisvahvistuksen korostuva vaikutus.
The Fate of Humanism in the 20th Century and the Poetry of Osip Mandelstam: The Poem Lamarck and the Idea of Regression in Its Application to Culture
Authors: Khrenov Nikolai A.
Published: June 2021

The article focuses not so much the poetic and stylistic features of Osip Mandelstam’s work, which are of interest to philologists (these have largely been researched), as its cultural aspects. To fill this gap, it is important to compare Mandelstam’s lyric with his prose, theory, criticism, and journalism. We believe that the poet’s statements in these genres provide many answers to the question of his attitude to culture. In general, a cultural analysis of Mandelstam’s poetry has not yet been undertaken. Meanwhile, a lot of whimsical and rather obscure associations in his lyric can be understood only with the help of his implied statements about a specific culture, with parallels to other cultures. In particular, we investigate the poet’s interest in philosophy and natural sciences, which is expressed both in his poems and in his assessments of modern processes. The theoretical works also shed light on Mandelstam’s poetic experiments. The article is based on an attempt to unravel the meaning contained in his poem Lamarck. This circumstance generated the analysis of the poet’s special interest in natural sciences, in the ideas of Lamarck and other researchers. The references to natural sciences allowed Mandelstam to get around the insolubility of the problem of the fate of culture, if we proceed from the state of the social and humanitarian sciences, characteristic of the post-revolutionary period in the development of science in Russia. The statement is substantiated by the fact that these sciences did not discuss the problems of culture, and if they did, the discussion was subordinate to Bolshevist ideology. At the same time, the poet’s thoughts are consonant with the concept of O. Spengler. Mandelstam also inclines to biologism in his vision of culture. The interest in Spengler’s morphology also explains O. Mandelstam’s attraction to the natural sciences. The article concludes that the poet’s judgments lie outside the methodological disputes that exist in academic science. Mandelstam was more interested in the fate of European and, accordingly, Russian culture, especially the fate of humanism, whose values were challenged in the 20th century.
O.E. Mandelstam’s Works in the Context of Russian Modernist Philosophy and Artistic Practice
Authors: Zhukova Olga A.
Published: June 2021

The article proposes a philosophical interpretation of the poetic heritage of O.E. Mandelstam. The approach to characterizing the artistic experience of the Russian poet, through the prism of the philosophy of creativity and the philosophy of culture, seems to be significant and productive. This position is substantiated by the fact that in modern scientific literature there are still few works in which Mandelstam’s poetry would be elucidated within the framework of the philosophy of Russian culture and the ontology of creativity. In the article, Mandelstam’s creative phenomenon is shown in connection with the aesthetic program of artistic modernism. The philosophical foundations of Russian modernism are rooted in theissue of the spiritual self-awareness of Russian culture. Since Russian modernism reflects the transformation of artistic and spiritual culture that took place in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the author tries to highlight and analyze the leading philosophical and aesthetic principles of Symbolism and Acmeism, discussed by poets of the Russian Silver Age. Special attention is given to Mandelstam’s theoretical works. The cultural-philosophical analysis makes it possible to trace the internal relationships between aesthetic attitudes and the artistic imagination of Russian Symbolists and Acmeists, to determine the specifics of the aesthetic self-awareness of Russian culture, its practices in selecting ideas, symbols, images of national and world artistic culture in the early 20th century. The author describes the logic of the continuity of the artistic ideas of Russian and world literature in the aesthetic concept of Mandelstam. In order to demonstrate the close connection of the philosophical and aesthetic ideas of classical culture with postclassics, the research brings together literary, philosophical and memoir sources in the context of the heritage of Mandelstam and the poets of his circle.

Background It is important for nurses to recognize and integrate the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit in their daily clinical practice (Dossey, 2005). If the client's needs are not met in one of the dimensions that can cause health and welfare problems. 94% of patients visiting hospitals in the US believe that spiritual health is as important as physical health. The need to get the attention that understanding caring alone is not enough to make a nurse can provide good service. Based on Maslow's theory that a person will do his work in accordance with the level of his needs. Understanding of a nurse who is at the level 5 stage of self-actualization, actually only wants to provide satisfaction for the achievement of personal self-actualization. If only the understanding of the concept of nurses was already at level 6. The importance of changing the mindset of nurses with the concept of caring spirituality so that nurses are fully aware of the deepest heart to get true blessing and happiness when nurses care for patients and afterward. Result The survey results from the 6-month in-house training process were able to increase the caring spirituality of nurses, which in turn was able to increase the application of services in nursing in hospitals.

Richard Shaull, um educador presbiteriano
Authors: Garcia Júnior Colez
Published: June 2021

The research that gave origin to the present work is constituted from a document produced by Richard Shaull, missionary of the Presbyterian Church of the United States working in Brazil, when he occupied the vice-presidency of the Mackenzie Institute, in 1960-1961. Marcel Mendes, in his book Tempos de Transição (Transition Times) (2016), mentions the document, stating that it had not yet been the object of a critical analysis. The present work is proposed to carry out such an analysis. From this document, and taking into account the whole cultural biography of Shaull, it is sought to evaluate its pedagogical contribution, not as explored as the theological aspect in the works of the said author. Recognizing the connection, also described as "porosity" in Shaull, between theology, missiology, eschatology, pedagogy and sociology, in a true interdisciplinarity, the work seeks to map Shaull's insights to education from his theological-missionary journey. In constructing such mapping, one starts with the educator's formation process, continuing with his academic and missionary experiences, considering the role played by his teachers and his students in his role as a social educator. Qualifying him as a social educator in his work, he seeks to bring his work closer to the theoretical framework represented by the work of Paulo Freire (1921-1997), a Brazilian educator with whom Shaull identifies himself. It is followed by the analysis of two documents: a) Shaull's prologue to the English version of Paulo Freire's A pedagogia do oprimido (The Pedagogy of the Oppressed); and (b) the Shaull’s report on the period in which he held the vice-chair of the Mackenzie Institute. The work is concluded, seeking to return to Shaull's insights identified throughout the text and to point out, from them, the paths that open them to an organic Christian activity in education.

Spectral Shaping with Integrated Self-Coupled Sagnac Loop Reflectors
Authors: Moss David
Published: June 2021

We propose and theoretically investigate integrated photonic filters based on coupled Sagnac loop reflectors (SLRs) formed by a self-coupled wire waveguide. By tailoring coherent mode interference in the device, three different filter functions are achieved, including Fano-like resonances, wavelength interleaving, and varied resonance mode splitting. For each function, the impact of device structural parameters is analyzed to facilitate optimized performance. Our results theoretically verify the proposed device as a compact multi-functional integrated photonic filter for flexible spectral shaping.

Rodgers, Lau, & Zebrowski (preprint) - "Examining the effects of stuttering and social anxiety on interpretations of ambiguous social scenarios among adolescents"
Authors: Rodgers Naomi Hertsberg
Published: June 2021

PURPOSE: The proclivity to construe ambiguous information in a negative way is known as interpretation bias, which has been implicated in the onset and/or maintenance of social anxiety. The purpose of this study was to examine group and individual differences in interpretation bias among young people who stutter and their typically fluent peers during the adolescent years when social fears and worries tend to escalate. METHODS: A total of 99 adolescents (13 to 19 years old) participated, including 48 adolescents who stutter (67% male) and 51 typically fluent controls (68% male). They completed a computerized vignette-based interpretation bias task in which they first read 14 short ambiguous social scenarios (half including a verbal interaction, half including a non-verbal interaction). They were then presented with four possible interpretations of each scenario including two negative interpretations (one target, one foil) and two positive interpretations (one target, one foil). Participants used a 4-point Likert scale to rate how similar in meaning each interpretation was to the original scenario. Participants also completed self-report measures of social and general anxiety, and provided a speech sample for stuttering analysis. RESULTS: There was no effect of stuttering on interpretations; the adolescents who stutter rated interpretations across both verbal and non-verbal scenarios comparably to the controls, and stuttering severity did not affect interpretation ratings. However, across groups, there was a significant effect of social anxiety such that higher social anxiety was associated with more negative interpretations, and lower social anxiety was associated with more positive interpretations.DISCUSSION: This study provides preliminary evidence that social anxiety may affect how adolescents interpret ambiguous social cues in verbal and non-verbal scenarios more than stuttering, although more research into how people who stutter process social information is warranted.
Improved incrementally affine method for viscoelastic-viscoplastic composite by utilizing an adaptive scheme
Authors: Jung Jiyoung , Kim Youngsoo , Lee Sangryun , Doghri Issam , Ryu Seunghwa
Published: June 2021

We propose a micromechanics-based mean-field homogenization scheme for the viscoelastic-viscoplastic particulate-reinforced composite which is applicable to predict its mechanical response under complex loading conditions. We apply a formulation based on an incrementally affine scheme by using algorithmic tangent operators, while adaptively adjusting the strain of each constituent at every step of the loading process to ensure the consistency of the accumulated strain state and the concentration tensor. We name the method adaptive incrementally affine method. Despite mathematically rigorous derivation, the method has some errors in plastic deformation regime. We propose an assumption for better prediction which dropping out the affine strain and affine stress in adaptive scheme. We show that the adaptive incrementally affine scheme is able to predict the viscoelastic response very well. Still, it is inevitable that the plastic deformation of the composite is initiated earlier than our mean-field theoretical prediction because of the local stress concentration near the particulate. Hence, we propose a yield reduction method that enforces the earlier initiation of the plastic deformation in the matrix phase when obtaining an effective mechanical response. We show that the predictions from the adaptive incrementally affine scheme adjusted with the yield reduction match well with various numerical simulations on particulate-reinforced composites considering viscoelastic, elastic-viscoplastic, and viscoelastic-viscoplastic matrices under uniaxial, cyclic, and bi-axial loadings.
Constructing the Objective World from Subjective Perceptions
Authors: Davies Philip
Published: June 2021

Starting from two propositions, 1. The observer is part of reality and 2. Observers are independent of each other, we develop an approach to Hume’s problem of scepticism. We show that despite all knowledge coming through subjective perceptions we can nevertheless construct objective or transitive knowledge through relationships between entities, rather than the entities themselves. We posited that some phenomena of the real world are transitive and some are not. Transitive phenomena are transferable between observers without change and are thus independent of observation. Transitive phenomena are relative quantities. Relative quantities are observational invariants and form the building blocks of our objective world. We show objective knowledge is developed from relative quantities whereas subjective knowledge is rooted in absolute quantities. The recognition that transitive quantities are invariants of observation gives them an independence from which we can construct an objective world.
Inequality and transaction costs in a community-based water supply in rural area adjacent to national park
Authors: Istiyani Ambar , Shohibuddin Mohamad
Published: June 2021

National parks can be sensitive state-property areas since the surrounding communities generally need the parks' resources for their livelihood. This paper focuses on inequality and transaction costs in PAMSIMAS (Community-Based Water Supply and Sanitation), a water sector program in Indonesia’s rural and peri-urban areas. The method used is a case study of PAMSIMAS in Tajuk, a village adjacent to Mount Merbabu National Park in Semarang Regency, Central Java. The data were gathered from documentary studies, in-depth interviews, and observations, and were analyzed using transaction cost economics and institutional analysis. This study found that the rules of PAMSIMAS, especially water pricing mechanisms, enhanced water availability but could not diminish the uncertainty of water access and transaction costs born by water users. Inequalities of endowment, power, and information among the hamlets affected how PAMSIMAS was run. Mobilization of water resources is related to property rights, which should be well-defined. Still, there was an overlapping property institution of Mount Merbabu National Park forest and its water resources; thus, the water user groups had to bear different transaction costs. The study provides suggestions for providing broader 'rules of the game' in rural water management, recognizing local conditions and prospects, acknowledging community rights to resources, and developing inclusive community participation.JEL Classification D23; P48; Q15

The impact of the pandemic on higher education activities is a major concern around the world. Higher education is obliged to carry out the necessary measures of adaptation, innovation, and management change, which are promoted by leaders at various levels. The leadership is further committed to encouraging transformative changes to meet students’ most critical needs.  Leadership is expected to be able to use all resources in the organization, even in limited conditions due to pandemic impacts.  The crisis condition during pandemic become the main approach in implementing higher education leadership.  First, the leader develops effective multi-directional communication to mediate and respond to actual needs and changes, especially involving parties impacted or affected by policy changes.  Second, the leader develops a cooperation network to support mutually one another to form productivity. It is necessary to network with all interests to formulate the best solution to reduce the adverse impacts of the pandemic.  Third, the leader develops empathy to encourage the work environment, increase productivity, and combine efforts to promote health on their personal and professional sides. Fourth, lecturers develop an own set of heuristics for managing their classes using technology as the main work in the new normal situation.JEL Classification A23; I00; I23

O cultivo de feijão apresenta elevada relevância em âmbito nacional. Além do rendimento de grãos, demais caracteres agronômicos associados são importantes na definição do potencial produtivo de um cultivar. Desse modo, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a associação de características da qualidade de sementes com o rendimento de grãos em cultivares de feijão. Os experimentos foram executados em delineamento inteiramente casualizado e blocos ao acaso, ambos com quatro repetições, utilizando dez cultivares de feijão. As características avaliadas foram: rendimento de grãos (kg ha-1), número de plântulas normais e anormais, comprimento de plântula (cm), comprimento de raiz (cm), comprimento de parte aérea (cm), massa fresca e seca de plântulas (g), e de massa fresca e seca cotilédones (g). A análise de componentes principais captou uma variação percentual nos dois eixos iniciais de 67,40 para variáveis, e 99,15 para os cultivares. As variáveis rendimento de grãos, massa seca de cotilédones e massa fresca de cotilédones relacionaram-se positivamente, com forte associação. A variável com maior contribuição para a discriminação dos cultivares foi o rendimento de grãos. O comprimento de plântulas, plântulas anormais e plântulas normais apresentaram menores contribuições e podem ser utilizadas complementarmente na discriminação de genótipos.

Developing creativity and thinking outside the box is key in modern education. When students are able to combine ideas, techniques, approaches that enable them to solve problems in different ways we can assert that they were taught creativity in their mathematical instructions. Most tests for evaluation of mathematical creativity measure the flexibility, fluency, and originality of student responses. Creativity tends to be hindered in the case of students with mild intellectual disabilities. Studies on the application of creativity in the teaching of mathematics to students with intellectual disabilities are limited. The article analyzed the academic achievement in mathematics and development of students' creativity.

Eğitimde en önemli konulardan biri de verilen eğitimde öğrenenlerin tutumlarının incelenmesidir. Bu çalışmada fen-edebiyat fakültesi coğrafya bölümü öğrencilerinin beşeri coğrafya dersi hakkındaki tutumları çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmiştir. Betimsel tarama modeli kullanılan bu araştırmanın verileri, Türkiye’de iki farklı üniversitedeki coğrafya bölümlerinde okuyan 137 öğrenciden elde edilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin elde edilmesinde Kılcan vd. (2019) tarafından hazırlanan 23 madde ve iki alt boyuttan oluşan beşli Likert yapısındaki “Beşeri Coğrafya Dersine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” (BCDYTÖ) ölçme aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin karşılaştırılmasında, iki alt düzeyi olan değişkenler için t-testi, ikiden fazla alt düzeyi olan değişkenler için tek yönlü ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Güvenirliği test etmek için ise Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı α = .94 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma sonunda elde edilen verilere göre coğrafya bölümü öğrencilerinin beşeri coğrafya dersi hakkındaki tutumları büyük oranda olumlu bulunmuştur. Coğrafya bölümü öğrencilerinin beşeri coğrafya dersi hakkındaki tutumları cinsiyet ve üniversite değişkenlerinde farklılık gösterir iken, sınıf, yaş ve mezun olunan lise değişkenlerinde bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, beşeri coğrafya alanındaki ders içeriklerinin zenginleştirilmesi, tutum araştırmalarının dönem başında ve dönem sonunda tekrarlanarak düşük tutuma karşılık tedbirlerin alınması ve öğretim programlarında yer alan beşeri coğrafya konularının geliştirilmesi ve güncellenmesi önerilmiştir.
Establishment of social stability risks evaluation model based on GAHP and IVHFSs
Authors: Luo Man
Published: June 2021

The construction of hydraulic projects inevitably involves land requisition and resettlement, with considerable impact on the society, the environment, and the economy of the project site, and leading to social stability risk events. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically assess social stability risk to put forward corresponding countermeasures. By applying WSR theory (Wuli-Shili-Renli Theory) to the investigation of the case-study of the Jiangxiang Reservoir Project, this paper constructs an evaluation index system for the risk to social stability from land requisition and resettlement, from the three dimensions of “physics”, “matter”, and “human principle”. The GAHP (Group-decision Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is used to determine the index weights, while the index values of each risk factor are determined by using the interval valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFSs) method. A comprehensive assessment of risks to social stability from land requisition and resettlement in the Jiangxiang Reservoir Project is performed, and coping strategies for major social stability risk factors are proposed. This paper effectively supports the development of assessments of risks to social stability from land requisition and resettlement in other hydraulic projects.

Groups are commonly found in general crowds and their behaviors are distinguished from that of isolated pedestrians. Thus, in recent five years researchers have started to investigate pedestrian group movement. In this paper, we considered group walking effect and introduced group floor field to the traditional floor field model. Furthermore, two different methods of generating group floor field were put forward, i.e. group center generation (method 1 for short) and group leader generation (method 2 for short), and we applied the proposed group model to simulate bidirectional pedestrian flow in a corridor. No matter which method of generating group floor field is adopted, the simulation results show that group members walk slower than singles, and with the group size increasing the transition point from the free flow phase to the jamming has a decrease trend. In addition, it seems that method 2 of generating group floor field makes group more cohesive and stable at the same crowd density than method 1. Afterwards it is found that the crowd with large group size is more easily affected by asymmetric injection rate. At last, people’s walking preference is shortly discussed, and it is obtained that people’s walking preference is also good for group movement from the perspective of movement efficiency.
Fuzzy logic neural network based growth enterprise market analysis for registration-based IPO system
Authors: Shen Ruihang
Published: June 2021

In real life, the stock price is always easy to be mispriced after listing, too high or too low. There are numerous reasons behind mispricing. Many scholars believe that the information asymmetry is one of them. In an inefficient market, the information asymmetry is bound to exist and be very high. In order to investigate the impact of registration-based IPO system reforms in mispricing, this paper takes the GEM market as an example to analyze the impact of the GEM market on mispricing. And we proposed a method with fuzzy logic neural network for Growth Enterprise Market analysis for IPO system. After processing data, we use ARIMA and EGARCH model to find the results. The immaturity will result in the negative impact caused by reformation, which will deviate from the goal that makes Chinese stock market become better.

Published: June 2021

Ant colony algorithm has great advantages in solving some NP complete problems, but it also has some problems such as slow search speed, low convergence accuracy and easy to fall into local optimum. In order to balance the contradiction between the convergence accuracy and the convergence speed of ant colony algorithm, this paper first proposes an ant colony algorithm (RIACO) based on the reinforcement excitation theory of Burrus Frederic Skinner. In this algorithm, pheromone is stimulated and its volatilization coefficient is adjusted adaptively according to the iteration times, thus the speed of ant colony search is accelerated. Secondly, based on the characteristics of real ant colony classification and division of labor, this paper proposes an ant colony algorithm based on labor division and cooperation (LCACO). The algorithm divides the ant colony into two different types of ant colony for information exchange and improves the state transition probability formula, so that the two ant colonies can search the optimal path cooperatively, so as to improve the precision of ant colony search. Finally, combining the two improved ant colony algorithms, this paper proposes an adaptive cooperative ant colony optimization algorithm based on reinforcement incentive (SMCAACO). A multi constrained vehicle routing problem (MCVRP) is compared with the classical tabu search algorithm (TS), variable neighborhood search algorithm (VNS) and basic ant colony algorithm (ACO). The experimental results show that, in solving the mcvrp problem, the algorithm proposed in this paper not only has a good performance in the solution results, but also achieves a good balance between the convergence speed and the convergence accuracy.
