Modelling opacity and variation in Gran Canarian Spanish apocope
Authors: Broś Karolina , Nazarov Aleksei Ioulevitch
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we present novel data from Spanish spoken on Gran Canaria which show an interaction of two lenition processes: final consonant deletion and vowel apocope. We show that in certain positions in an utterance, these processes optionally combine in a fed counterfeeding interaction. Furthermore, the variation present in the dialect due to process optionality uncovers a latent opacity pattern, i.e. an additional opaque interaction that is not motivated by any individual input-output mapping, but only by the quantitative aspect of variation. This takes the form of mutual counterfeeding, a rarely reported phenomenon, thus creating a novel test case for theories of opacity. The second part of the paper provides a formal analysis of the opacity-ridden data, taking into account process optionality and variation. The theoretical analysis and learning simulations using the Expectation-Driven Learner demonstrate that a probabilistic variant of Serial Markedness Reduction can capture both fed counterfeeding and latent opacity without recourse to additional mechanisms beyond the original framework, as opposed to analyses in other serial frameworks such as OT-CC. Our analysis shows that opacity with optional processes is a complex problem that has to be specifically addressed with probabilistic frameworks.
Empirical Approaches to Portuguese Linguistics - New insights from studies in various areas of grammar
Authors: Fally Irene , Kocher Anna , Goryczka Pamela
Published: May 2023

Over the last two decades, empirical methods have become increasingly prominent in linguistics. Even traditionally more introspective theoretical frameworks have begun to embrace empirical methods to test their hypotheses. This special collection unites works applying state of the art empirical methods to the study of Portuguese and its varieties, to highlight the applicability of these methods to Portuguese linguistics. In doing so, this collection aims to show the potential and the possible limitations of these methods. This special collection brings together contributions on different varieties of Portuguese from the subfields of phonology, morpho-syntax, syntax and semantics, using a variety of empirical methods: The methods range from classic corpus linguistics and sociolinguistic field methods to psycholinguistic experiments. The aim of this collection is to illustrate how these methods can be applied to the study of Portuguese in all linguistic subfields. By explicitly addressing how empirical methods contribute to furthering our understanding of Portuguese linguistics, we want to increase awareness for empirical methods and their applicability to the study of Portuguese, and ultimately encourage researchers to make greater use of them.
A New Look at the Effects of the Interest Rate Ceiling in Arkansas
Authors: Elliehausen Gregory , Hannon Simona M. , Miller Jr., Thomas W.
Published: May 2023

Arkansas has been a popular place to study the effects of rate ceilings because of its exceptionally low interest rate ceiling. This paper examines the effects of the Arkansas rate ceiling on credit use by nonprime consumers in Arkansas, who are especially vulnerable to credit rationing because of the low ceiling. We compare the level and composition of consumer debt of nonprime consumers in Arkansas with that of prime Arkansas consumers and also non-prime consumers in the neighboring states. We find that nonprime consumers in Arkansas are less likely to have consumer debt and, conditional on having debt, have slightly lower levels of consumer debt than prime Arkansas consumers and nonprime consumers in neighboring states. Types of credit used by nonprime consumers in Arkansas tend to differ from those of the comparison groups. Notable is much lower use of consumer finance loans, traditionally an important source of credit for higher risk consumers. This finding suggests rate-based rationing of risky consumers. Also notable is lower use of bank credit despite federal preemption of the rate ceiling for banks. This result is consistent with banks’ traditional avoidance of risky lending.
Implications of Student Loan COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Measures for Families with Children
Authors: Goodman Sarena , Hannon Simona , Isen Adam , Mezza Alvaro
Published: May 2023

The initial years of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic fallout likely posed particular financial strain on U.S. households with children, who faced income disruptions from widespread jobs and hours cuts in addition to new childcare and instruction demands. One common expense for many such households is their student loan payment. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act included provisions to curb the impacts of these payments, which have been extended several times. These measures were not targeted and thus applied independent of need. This chapter analyzes two nationally representative datasets and finds: 1) families with children were more likely to benefit from pandemic student loan relief than those without children, but this relief was concentrated among higher-income and White families and 2) there were larger improvements in overall credit health and an increased use of other credit among families with student loan debt that was eligible for relief relative to those with student loan debt that was not.
Less Bank Regulation, More Non-Bank Lending
Authors: Chen Mary , Lee Seung Jung , Neuhann Daniel , Saidi Farzad
Published: May 2023

Bank deregulation in the form of the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act facilitated the entry of non-bank lenders into the market for syndicated loans during the pre-2008 credit boom. Institutional investors disproportionately purchase tranches of loans originated by universal banks able to cross-sell loans and underwriting services to firms (as permitted by the repeal). A shock to cross-selling intensity increases loan liquidity at origination and over time. The mechanism is that non-loan exposures ensure monitoring even when banks retain small loan shares. Our findings complement the conventional view that regulatory arbitrage caused the rise of non-bank lenders.
Financial and Macroeconomic Data Through the Lens of a Nonlinear Dynamic Factor Model
Authors: Quintana Pablo A. Guerrón , Khazanov Alexey , Zhong Molin
Published: May 2023

Through the lens of a nonlinear dynamic factor model, we study the role of exogenous shocks and internal propagation forces in driving the fluctuations of macroeconomic and financial data. The proposed model 1) allows for nonlinear dynamics in the state and measurement equations; 2) can generate asymmetric, state-dependent, and size-dependent responses of observables to shocks; and 3) can produce time-varying volatility and asymmetric tail risks in predictive distributions. We find evidence in favor of nonlinear dynamics in two important U.S. applications. The first uses interest rate data to extract a factor allowing for an effective lower bound and nonlinear dynamics. Our estimated factor coheres well with the historical narrative of monetary policy. We find that allowing for an effective lower bound constraint is crucial. The second recovers a credit cycle. The nonlinear component of the factor boosts credit growth in boom times while hinders its recovery post-crisis. Shocks in a credit crunch period are more amplified and persist for longer compared with shocks during a credit boom.

Por el tránsito al liberalismo, pero sobre todo por la actuación ante las calamidades que caracterizaron al siglo XIX, este resultó determinante en la configuración de las sociedades de las urbes mexicanas y en particular de sus barrios periféricos. Desde una postura fenomenológica-hermenéutica, y con herramientas tanto etnográficas como historiográficas, en este artículo se discute sobre ello. Tomando como referentes los barrios virreinales de Analco y La Luz, en la barroca ciudad de Puebla, se descubre los elementos históricos que condicionan su proceder ante una emergencia sanitaria. Se muestra también que la cotidianidad de sus habitantes tuvo un carácter dual, puesto que estaba mediada por la religiosidad y la ciencia. Así, la calle funcionaba y funciona como centralidad barrial, lugar simbólico de este sincretismo y sitio para las tácticas vecinales en la búsqueda protectora de su sentido identitario. También en la calle se encuentran lo eventual y lo permanente; deviene espacio donde se es y se habita, símbolo del arraigo y la pertenencia. La relevancia del texto estriba en que se está ante la inmejorable posición testimonial para comprender lo que se realizó y lo que significó, desde la óptica social o colectiva, un evento disruptivo como la covid-19; asimismo, este texto contribuye a documentar el origen de nuevos elementos que se suman al patrimonio inmaterial existente.

Published: May 2023

La emergencia provocada por la pandemia de la covid-19 reactualizó numerosos debates sobre las protecciones sociales requeridas para los diferentes grupos laborales y la necesidad de garantizar el trabajo y los ingresos de la población. Este artículo se centra en la experiencia de personas que trabajan sin vínculos con un patrón y que se autoidentifican como parte de la economía popular, social y solidaria (EPSS) en Argentina. Se propone abonar al debate académico al respecto identificando aquellas condiciones que favorecieron la sostenibilidad y la organización de sus labores más allá del contexto de la emergencia. En particular, se busca reconocer si la situación abierta por la pandemia devino en nuevos procesos de reconocimiento, institucionalización y protección para estos colectivos laborales. Se desarrolló un trabajo de investigación cualitativo basado en entrevistas a referentes de 14 organizaciones de EPSS del Gran Rosario (fuentes primarias) y la revisión de las medidas de emergencia y los programas implementados por los tres niveles de Gobierno –nacional, provincial y local– desde la declaración de la emergencia sanitaria hasta diciembre de 2021 (fuentes secundarias). En las reflexiones finales se recuperan los principales resultados fundamentando que las respuestas del Estado no dieron lugar a nuevas instituciones, derechos y protecciones, sino que “organizaron” y “administraron” la institucionalidad que ya existía.

Published: May 2023

Visual impairment (VI) and hearing impairment (HI) are common disabilities whose prevalence increases with age, potentially presenting a major challenge in the future. Identifying the types of obstacles which they encounter during drug administration is essential to improve health outcomes. This systematic literature review aimed to identify types of medication barriers encountered by individuals with VI or HI to improve their health outcomes. Combination of keywords indicating VI or HI, barrier, challenge, or difficulty, and drug or medication were used to identify potential studies up to May 31, 2021, from Ovid Medline, Embase, and Cochrane. Overall, 20 and 17 articles met the predefined eligibility criteria for VI and HI, respectively. Individuals with VI were found to encounter difficulties in the entire process of pharmaceutical therapy, including drug identification, medication management, access to pharmacies, medication instructions, drug information (labeling), and communication. Individuals with HI were found to experience challenges in communication, health literacy, and negative experiences and emotions toward doctors/pharmacists. The drug management needs of individuals with VI and HI remain unmet. For safe and effective medication in individuals with VI and HI, it is essential to establish practical solutions, such as providing identification tools for tablets for those with VI, deploying sign language interpreters at designated healthcare institutions and pharmacies for individuals with HI, utilizing novel technologies, including audio prescription labeling systems or mobile applications, and providing education for both healthcare providers and individuals with disabilities to improve their partnership in drug therapy.

Published: May 2023

Community pharmacists have contributed to safe and effective drug treatment for patients by performing appropriate intervention activities to solve the drug-related problems (DRPs). This study aims to investigate the current status and evaluate interventions performed in community pharmacies. We evaluated DRP and pharmacist intervention activity (PIA) data obtained from a community pharmacy between August 9, 2021 and October 15, 2021 (10 weeks). Problems and causes of DRPs were classified according to Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) criteria, while PIAs were assessed by intervention types and conducted time-points. Economic outcomes from PIA were also estimated by cost avoidance and cost saving. During the ten-week period, a total of 6,576 prescriptions were submitted, and 754 cases of intervention were conducted. Among 754 PIA cases, 48.8% of them were performed via DUR alert, but 51.2% of PIAs were initiated via counseling or inspection by pharmacist without DUR alert. The acceptance rate of PIA by patients and prescription doctors reached to 93.4%. The net benefit cost converted to annual cost was estimated at ₩5,674,032. Various PIAs in community pharmacies run at various points from the moment the patient is prescribed to the end of treatment. To properly evaluate the clinical and cost-effective value for PIA of community pharmacy, constructing a database of information on DRPs and PIAs must be preceded.
Characteristics of Digital Therapeutics and the Role of Pharmacist
Authors:   The Pharmaceutical Society Of Korea, Choi Ji Min , Kim Kwang Joon
Published: May 2023

The fourth industrial revolution and the development of digital technology have had a significant impact on activation and actual use of digital therapeutics (DTx), a new concept of treatment in the medical field. This study aims to understand the current regulation system and limitations of DTx management and try to investigate the roles of pharmacists. The research was conducted by reviewing and examining of documents presented by the FDA on DTx. As a result, the FDA recommends that most DTx on the market play a role in parallel with existing medication therapy. However, there are insufficient counseling guidelines or policy systems to properly guide the use of DTx. Therefore, for safe and effective use of DTx, pharmacists also need to be interested in DTx and involved in the development of DTx, related policies, and establishment and updating of them.

Objective: The use of Emicizumab, a novel agent in hemophilia A, in patients with Hemophilia A undergoing immune tolerance induction (ITI) have been currently evolving in overseas. Here, we aimed to evaluate the real-world use and conceptual study of emicizumab use during ITI in patients with Hemophilia A. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to perform systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Search terms include ‘hemophilia‘, ‘immune tolerance and ‘Emicizumab’. Hemophilia other than hemophilia A, studies with no relevant outcomes, emicizumab use other than during ITI were excluded. Results: Among 419 relevant studies, ten eligible studies were included in this review. Six studies reported real-world prophylactic use of emicizumab during ITI, and total of nineteen subjects, including overlapping patients, were evaluated. Other four studies reported conceptual study design of emicizumab in patients with hemophilia A undergoing ITI. Majority of study set the dose of emicizumab as 1.5mg/kg weekly or 3.0mg/kg bi-weekly after a loading dose of 3.0mg/kg for 4 weeks. In real-world prophylactic use studies, ITI outcome, inhibitor recurrence, antibody titer, adverse events, and FVIII activity were evaluated as outcomes. Conclusion: This study identified the current status of emicizumab use and made evidence for the applicability of emicizumab in patients with hemophilia A undergoing ITI.

Published: May 2023

Registered pharmacists are required to comply with current laws related to pharmacist practice. This study investigated the precedents of community pharmacists’ misconduct. The cases disclosed to the public on the Korean court’s websites (Comprehensive Legal Information website and Major Court Rulings website) were searched in April 19, 2021, using a keyword “pharmacist”. The selection criteria included case pronounced after July 2000 (implementation of the separation of prescription and dispensing), case that pharmacists was the plaintiffs or the defendants, and case that violated the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act or the National Health Insurance Act. For nineteen cases finally selected which satisfied with eligibility criteria, detailed information for each case were collected from the websites. Based on the provisions of related laws, misconducts of those cases were classified into seven categories: Four cases of license lending, seven cases of illegal drug dispensing and sales, two cases of collusion with medical institutions, two cases of violations of medication guidance obligations, one case of indiscriminate sales of medicines liable to misuse or abuse, two cases of unfair customer inducements, and one case of rebate and undue pressure exercise. The most frequent misconduct types were unfair receipts of medical care benefits and dispensing or sale of medicines by unqualified persons. Learning about the precedents shown in this study is expected to be an guide for individual pharmacists to increase their sensitivity to ethics and compliance with the laws and to be careful about the possible violations in advance.

LAMP-QUASR Primer Design v1
Authors: Navarro Martínez Felipe
Published: May 2023

This protocol is designed for the design and adaptation of a LAMP primer set in order for it to be used with the QUASR technique. In order to do this, it requires an already designed (and hopefully experimentally validated) LAMP primer set. The steps indicated in this protocol are the ones we follow to adapt a previously validated primer set for their use in LAMP-QUASR reactions. QUASR is "a simple technique that allows closed-tube, target-specific detection, based on the inclusion of a dye-labeled primer that is incorporated into a target-specific amplicon if the target is present. A short, complementary quencher hybridizes to unincorporated primer upon cooling down at the end of the reaction, thereby quenching the fluorescence of any unincorporated primer" (Ball et al., 2016). Therefore, using QUASR-LAMP allows for specific sequence detection and reduces the false positives often associated with unspecific amplification, and it only requires a minor modification of one of the LAMP reaction primers. This protocol mostly focuses on the software and criteria we use to decide which primer of the set should be picked, modified with a fluorophore, and used as a template for quencher probe design. Some steps are based on the criteria used by Priye et al. (2017), with several modifications and additions of our own.

A mutant population was generated using a popular wheat cultivar of Bangladesh; BARI GOM-28, with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) to create diversity in terms of different agronomic characteristics and grain quality parameters. An EMS concentration ranging from 0.2% to 1.2% was used and the optimum was found to be 0.8%. This study was initiated with 16,000 seeds, where 1,581 lines survived under greenhouse conditions up to M4 generation. Through 3 subsequent field trials, 3 promising lines, namely, 0037/17, 0020/17 and 0023/17 were selected with enhanced spike length, number of spikes per plant, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, grains weight per plant and 1000-grain weight. Such improved agronomic traits contributed towards a greater yield potential of 0037/17 (5.94-6.10 t ha-1), 0020/17 (5.47-5.54 t ha-1) and 0023/17 (4.97-5.20 t ha-1) than BARI GOM-28 (3.63-3.69 t ha-1) in the multi-location trial. Improvement in certain bread-making qualities like wet gluten content (>28%) and total protein content (~13%) was also observed and compared to BARI GOM-28 which had 22% wet gluten and 11% total protein. Therefore, these mutant lines could be used as a valuable resource for genetic studies to dissect the function of the genes controlling such desired parameters as well as superior breeding lines.

Published: May 2023

The present study was aimed to determine the effect of V2, VR10 and VR1 experimental biostimulants application on yield related main traits (plant height and stems number per m2) and on forage productivity of Prista 4 alfalfa variety. The study was carried out in Experimental field at Institute of Agriculture and Seed Science "Obraztsov chiflik" - Ruse, from 2019 to 2021. The biostimulants were foliarly applied two times in each regrowth. There was found positive effect of the biostimulants application on the growth and development of alfalfa. The additional introducing of VR10 and VR1 biostimulants contributed to higher alfalfa grass stands by 17.13 and 14.36%, respectively compared to control. Foliar spraying with V2 biostimulant had more clear pronounced positive effect on the stem development. According to the three-year results the average stems number per m2 at V2 treatment significant exceeded the control by 4.78%. V2 biostimulant distinguished with a stronger positive effect on the forage productivity among studied products. Its application resulted in significant increases on green mass and dry matter yields by 3.72 and 4.96%, respectively over the control. V2 application gives promising results and reason to be recommended as a corrective component in technology of growing alfalfa for forage.
importance of socio-affective relationships in educational contexts
Authors: Bardelli Noemí Elena , Huertas Martínez Juan Antonio , Castillejo Ruíz Jesús Ignacio
Published: May 2023

In studies on the motivational classroom climate -CMC- the need to delve into socio-affective aspects that make up the pedagogical relationships -PR- between teachers and students that affect the closeness and communication is recognized. That is why this work seeks to validate the design of two evaluation instruments focused on PR (Closeness/Conflict Scale and Motivational Communicational Scale) applied to 459 students from technical secondary schools (Argentina) and establish links with the CMC as well as with the satisfaction and interest achieved in terms of the relevance of school learning. The results found prove that the two assessment scales created meet measurement guarantees, showing encouraging reliability, internal, convergent and predictive validity data. Likewise, the relationships between the Motivational Communication and Closeness scales are strong since significant correlations were found. The relationship model between communication/closeness/conflict turned out to explain the satisfaction that students perceive of their teachers, demonstrating the importance of the main determinants of PR (closeness, communication and conflict) for the CMC and contributing to the evaluation of educational interventions focused on improving the climate.

Authors: Ferriera Miriam Criez Nobrega , Ponte João Pedro , Ribeiro Alessandro Jacques
Published: May 2023

Background: Teacher education processes directly influence the quality of teaching and, indirectly, students’ learning, which leads teacher educators to assume a central role in the development and leading of these processes, justifying in-depth studies about their actions. Objective: To understand how the actions and practices developed by a teacher educator during the orchestration of whole-group discussions contribute to creating professional learning opportunities about mathematical knowledge and educational practice regarding working with algebraic thinking aimed at elementary school teachers. Design: This is a qualitative-interpretive study along the lines of intervention research. Settings and Participants: The study included the teacher educator and 14 teachers who taught in grades 3-5 in a teaching network in a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Data collection: The data were collected through video recording during the whole-group discussions with two cameras, one directed at the teacher educator and the other at the teachers. Results: The results indicate that the teacher educator used a set of actions and practices to conduct the whole-group discussions. Conclusions: The teacher educator’s practices that led teachers to reflect on their practice are the ones that most provide professional learning opportunities, even though other practices are essential in creating an environment that promotes whole-group discussions.

The religious processes taking place in Ukraine recently are increasingly encouraging a comprehensive philosophical and religious analysis of the relationship between the national and religious, ethnic and confessional, mental and sacred, political and ideological, etc., since these connections are essential factors in the formation of statehood, national identity, spiritual identity and religious certainty of the people, which is causing the increased interest of domestic researchers: from philosophers, historians, psychologists to sociologists, ethnographers, linguists, etc. The essence of the specificity of national identity in general, Orthodoxy in particular, is revealed through a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the main dominants of the Orthodox creed, among which is the anthropological idea that permeates the entire Christian ontology and epistemology. These problems are constantly under the close attention of scientists and have repeatedly become the subject of professional research of the past and professional searches of modern domestic and foreign scientists. In modern Ukraine, there is an increase in the number of studies, particularly in the history of Orthodoxy, its beliefs and rituals, as well as its interaction with the state and society. A wide and diverse range of religious topics is quite significant and significant today. All this is due to the fact that Orthodoxy has historically been and remains the dominant religious factor in our country, and it is it that can claim to be called an autochthonous (mentally rooted) religion in Ukraine.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF RELIGIOUS AND COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Published: May 2023

Based on various sources, the article analyzes the structure of organizational culture, both commercial and religious. Already known precedents are considered in detail, when the organizational culture of a commercial structure acquires signs of a religious one; the causes, consequences and mechanisms of such a metamorphosis are also considered. Another one considered main issue is point of no return when a corporation gets occult features. The article is based on the assertion that the ideas for organizing a certain structure, regardless of its strategic goals, are inherently similar and identical to both a commercial and a religious structure. As this issue is not completely covered and scientifically re-searched, it is one of the first attempts to structure abstract organization despite of its status (commercial or religious). Also, the article has analysis of real cases both commercial and religious organizations, considers the negative and positive sides. Reviewing the train of thinking of organization leaders we may also make a conclusion in what degree the organization is affected by it's leader. However, the article considers the affection of members on the organization and their global synergy. The article also can be considered as small introduction to "how to build up organization culture based on religious elements". Just another sentence for printing. Understanding the essence of organization's structure, the steps on which it is located, will automatically help you build the organizational culture of your organization and not resort to toxicity and the occultism which leads to negative consequences: the loss of quality personnel as a result of low motivation of its members, which can later lead to the destruction of the organization generally (in worst case, it may lead to scandals, litigation and even suicides). To build a successful organizational culture, it is wise to draw on the lessons of the past, embodied in religious organizations.

Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the study of plant imagery as an important aesthetic-semantic component of the cult practices of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The Armenian Apostolic Church is not only a unique, ancient institution among the circle of Christian churches, but also represents an original cultural world, manifested in a cult rich in its theological content and artistic form, that's why it deserves to be present in the religious studies, aesthetic, cultural, historical research discourses. Using textological, semiotic and phenomenological methods, the authors analyze the implicit content of individual plant images of the cult space of the church. Various elements of the Armenian sacred art were used to reveal the foundations of the dogma, which ensured the formation of an original the-aesthetics. Armenian sacral art formed the aesthetic world of imagery of the Christian religion. The organic inclusion of plant imagery in the general Christian picture of the world, reflected in the artistic representations of the art of sacral sculpture and church poetry, the inspiration of which was the biblical and early Christian imagery, which symbolic interpretations deepened the understanding of the evangelical truths and constituted the original aesthetic world of the Armenian national culture was proved. In the article, the authors pay attention to the study of plant imagery in cult practices, in particular with the example of monumental khachkars, liturgical texts of the shakarans dedicated to the Holy Virgin and the Christian saints, which are especially popular among the Armenian people, first of all St. Gregory the Illuminator. Thus, the plant imagery occupies an important place in the temple cult practices of the Armenian Apostolic Church, as well as in the aesthetic sphere of the Armenian national culture and ethno-consciousness.
Finite-Frequency Delay Times of Phase Segments for Body Waves
Authors: Jiang Yan , Chen Xiaofei
Published: May 2023

We propose a new way of measuring the delay times of body waves, based on the time differences between short segments of a phase. Using this proposed methodology, which we call the delay time of phase segments (DTPSs) method, we believe it is possible to (1) optimize the reduction mode that reduces finite-frequency kernels to ray-theoretical kernels, (2) reduce computation and memory storage costs by reducing the volume of finite-frequency sensitivity kernels, and (3) achieve greater linearity between delay times and velocity variations for larger velocity perturbations up to ±30%. The DTPS kernel can also be used in adjoint methods. Theory and our calculations indicate that the width of the DTPS kernel decreases as the length of the phase segment decreases from the length of the entire phase. The scattering caused by inhomogeneity is more likely to complicate the latter parts of a phase more than its beginning. For this reason, the DTPS method using a phase segment in the first quarter of a phase is robust for velocity perturbations up to ±30% from the initial model, whereas traditional methods using the entire phase are only robust for velocity perturbations up to ±10%. The DTPS method may reduce computation times by up to 70% because the size of the DTPS kernels is smaller than that of other methods by up to 70%. Synthetic tests indicate that the DTPS method produces inverse models nearly as accurate as generalized seismological data functionals.

Learning is a form of communication process. Communication in learning aims so that students can understand the messages conveyed well. Distribution of messages requires a means or media so that messages can be received properly with minimal misinterpretation. Most of the topic on the spatial structure and the interaction of rural and urban areas is abstract in nature. The abstract object can only be seen if it has been visualized using media. There are several media needed to study this topic, including images, animation, text and video. These media will be easy to use when combined on an integrated platform called multimedia. This study aims to produce a multimedia spatial structure and village-city interaction as well as its relation to equitable development efforts using the Articulate Storyline. The development model used is ADDIE. The results of the validation of the three experts revealed that the product was suitable for trial use with a few revisions.

The campus general election (PEMIRA) is one of the real lessons of good democracy for students. This is because through PEMIRA, students can understand all the roles and functions of components that exist in a democratic party (general elections). In the PEMIRA campus, of course, there will be many candidates from various backgrounds, including candidates who have an independent background (non-noxious and non-anti-nightmare). The participation of Independent candidates who are not from or anti-omek is a very good thing for democratic life on campus. Because in the election of the Indonesian state itself, independent candidates also get the same opportunity as party candidates to participate in the elections. In addition, the large number of independent candidates participating in the campus PEMIRA will certainly create new ideas and thoughts in campus democracy which is a miniature of the Indonesian state. However, in reality, there are many students with independent backgrounds who do not understand or still do not have the courage to advance in the campus PEMIRA as students with independent backgrounds (non-noxious and non-anti-nightmare). So that in this research, an innovation will be made that makes students with independent backgrounds dare to go forward and compete in the campus PEMIRA as students with independent backgrounds.

Pemilu Raya (PEMIRA) kampus merupakan salah satu pembelajaran nyata demokrasi yang baik kepada mahasiswa. Hal ini dikarenakan melalui PEMIRA, mahasiswa dapat memahami segala bentuk peran dan fungsi komponen yang ada dalam suatu pesta demokrasi (pemilihan umum). Dalam PEMIRA kampus tentu akan banyak munculnya calon-calon dari berbagai latar belakang tak terkecuali calon yang memiliki latar belakang Independen (non omek dan non anti omek). Ikut sertanya calon Independen yang tidak berasal dari omek maupun anti omek merupakan suatu hal yang sangat baik bagi kehidupan demokrasi di kampus. Dikarenakan dalam PEMILU negara Indonesia sendiri, calon independen turut mendapatkan kesempatan yang sama dengan calon partai untuk ikut serta dalam PEMILU. Selain itu dengan banyaknya calon independen yang ikut serta dalam PEMIRA kampus tentu akan membuat munculnya gagasan dan pemikiran baru dalam demokrasi kampus yang merupakan miniatur dari negara Indonesia. Namun pada kenyataannya, banyak sekali mahasiswa berlatar belakang independen yang belum paham atau masih belum berani untuk maju dalam PEMIRA kampus sebagai mahasiswa berlatar belakang independen (non omek dan non anti omek). Sehingga dalam peneliti jam ini akan dibuatnya sebuah inovasi yang membuat mahasiswa berlatar belakang independen untuk berani maju dan berkompetisi dalam PEMIRA kampus sebagai mahasiswa berlatar belakang independen.

The need for land continues to increase in line with the rate of population growth. This limited land area in the city will trigger regional development to spread to the outskirts with sufficient land. From 2013 to 2019 the built-up land has increased to reach 443.55 Ha. Types of land use vegetation decreased by 380.65 Ha and agricultural land decreased by 64.26 Ha. The difference in the area of land built over a period of 6 (six) years is 438,1911 Ha. The Kappa coefficient value obtained is 0.87 or 87 percent, which means that the Landsat 8 image used has a fairly high accuracy. The pattern of encroachment that occurs in Dau District is an elongated pattern. This is indicated by the development of settlements that can be seen on several sides of the main road.

Kebutuhan lahan terus mengalami peningkatan sejalan dengan laju pertumbuhan penduduk. Keterbatasan lahan di kota inilah yang akan memicu pengembangan wilayah menyebar ke daerah pinggiran dengan lahan yang masih mencukupi. Dari tahun 2013 sampai tahun 2019 lahan terbangun telah mengalami pertambahan mencapai 443.55 Ha. Jenis penggunaan lahan vegetasi mengalami penurunan sebanyak 380.65 Ha dan lahan pertanian mengalami penurunan sebanyak 64.26 Ha. Selisih luas lahan terbangun pada kurun waktu 6 (enam) tahun mencapai 438.1911 Ha. Nilai Koefisien Kappa yang didapatkan adalah 0.87 atau 87 persen yang berarti bahwa citra Landsat 8 yang digunakan memiliki ketelitian yang cukup tinggi. Pola perambahan yang terjadi di Kecamatan Dau adalah pola memanjang. Hal ini ditunjukan dengan berkembangnya permukiman yang terlihat dibeberapa tepi jalan utama.

Learning Geography is contextual and focuses on problems related to the life of the environment around students. So, we need a learning model that can integrate student knowledge with problems that exist in the surrounding environment. The PBL learning model has the advantage of encouraging students to develop their knowledge in solving a problem individually. In addition, applying the model requires media to make learning more meaningful and effective. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of PBL learning model assisted by animation media on the problem solving ability of geography students at SMA Negeri 8 Malang. The subjects of this study were students of class X. Class X IPS 2 was chosen as the experimental class while class X IPS 1 was the control class. The results showed that there was an effect of PBL model assisted by animation media on students' problem solving ability.
