A scalable and modular Material Point Method for large-scale simulations
Authors: Kumar Krishna , Salmond Jeffrey , Kularathna Shyamini , Wilkes Christopher , Setiasabda Ezra Yoanes , Biscontin Giovanna , Soga Kenichi
Published: September 2019

In this paper, we describe a new scalable and modular material point method (MPM) code developed for solving large-scale problems in continuum mechanics. The MPM is a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, which uses both moving material points and computational nodes on a background mesh. The MPM has been successfully applied to solve large-deformation problems such as landslides, failure of slopes, concrete flows, etc. Solving these large-deformation problems result in the material points actively moving through the mesh. Developing an efficient parallelisation scheme for the MPM code requires dynamic load-balancing techniques for both the material points and the background mesh. This paper describes the data structures and algorithms employed to improve the performance and portability of the MPM code.
Development of Makassarese Language Learning Materials based on the Character Building Concept for 5th Grade Elementary School Students
Authors: Rabiah Sitti
Published: September 2019

This study aimed to develop Makassarese language learning materials based on character building concept for elementary schools, particularly the 5th grade students in Makassar city. This research started from researchers concern on the Makassarese language which is one of the local languages in South Sulawesi province, Indonesia. Although, this language is still used by native speakers, but if it is not followed by preservation, it has the potential to be abandoned by its speakers and extinct. The Indonesian government has a program called “Indonesia Emas 2045” to realize the period when elementary school students take important role in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve local languages on the one side and character building on the other side. So this research is designed to synergize both. The mix method was used in this research. Development stages of learning materials refers to research and development stages by Borg and Gall then collaborated with the research phase by Brown. This research resulted learning model and learning material of Makassarese language based on character building concept with 8 that are extracted from 18 character values (character building concept) by the Ministry of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia.

This article describe about the effect of school relations with the community on school progress. School relations with the community will have an impact on school progress, because more or less the community also has a stake in the implementation of educational goals. The purpose of this study was to obtain data and information about the effect of school relations with the community on school progress. This research uses the literature study method by collecting books, journals and other sources related to the material the influence of shool relations with the community on school progress. It can be said that the relationship between the school and the community is very influential on the progress of the school, because the community is one of the most important components in education. If cooperation is estabilished, a good relationship between the school and the community will automatically affect the progress of the school.

Facilities and infrastructure are one of the important components in the world of education. Likewise with the management, management of facilities and infrastructure is very important because with the management of facilities and infrastructure in schools, facilities and infrastructure will be maintained and maintained. In its management the school must be able to be responsible for the existing facilities and infrastructure, especially the principal as the person who handles the facilities and infrastructure in the school. Good management of facilities and infrastructure will produce a good learning process. Existing facilities and infrastructure must be maintained, maintained and cared for by the school. With the existence of good facilities and infrastructure, it will support the learning process in schools so that the learning process can run well.The existence of good management will make it easier for the school to maintain and record what facilities and infrastructure are in the school and what infrastructure is needed by the school in supporting learning activities.

Convertible Bond Arbitrage Study
Authors: Xiao Tim
Published: September 2019

In a convertible bond arbitrage strategy, the arbitrageur purchases a convertible bond and sells the underlying stock to create a delta neutral position. The number of shares sold short usually reflects a delta-neutral or market neutral ratio. People believe that convertible arbitrage is mainly due to convertible underpricing. Empirically, however, we do not find evidence supporting the underpricing hypothesis. Instead, we find that convertibles have relatively large positive gammas. As a typical convertible arbitrage strategy employs delta-neutral hedging, a large positive gamma can make the portfolio highly profitable, especially for a large movement in the underlying stock price.
A Simple and Precise Method for Pricing Convertible Bond with Credit Risk
Authors: Xiao Tim
Published: September 2019

This paper presents a new model for valuing hybrid defaultable financial instruments, such as, convertible bonds. In contrast to previous studies, the model relies on the probability distribution of a default jump rather than the default jump itself, as the default jump is usually inaccessible. As such, the model can back out the market prices of convertible bonds. A prevailing belief in the market is that convertible arbitrage is mainly due to convertible underpricing. Empirically, however, we do not find evidence supporting the underpricing hypothesis. Instead, we find that convertibles have relatively large positive gammas. As a typical convertible arbitrage strategy employs delta-neutral hedging, a large positive gamma can make the portfolio highly profitable, especially for a large movement in the underlying stock price.
An Interview with the Physicist that Her Head in the Universe and Both Feet on the Earth

Published: September 2019

Put simply, Lisa Randall’s job is to figure out how the universe works, and what it’s made of. Her contributions to theoretical particle physics include two models of space-time that bear her name. The first Randall–Sundrum model addressed a problem with the Standard Model of the universe, and the second concerned the possibility of a warped additional dimension of space. In this work, we caught up with Randall to talk about why she chose a career in physics, where she finds inspiration, and what advice she’d offer budding physicists. This article has been edited for clarity. My favourite quote in this interview is, “Figure out what you enjoy, what your talents are, and what you’re most curious to learn about.” If you insterest in her work, you can contact her on Twitter @lirarandall.
Does attention bias modification induce structural brain changes? A commentary on Abend et al. (2019)
Authors: Parsons Sam
Published: September 2019

The strength of research conclusions must follow from the strength of evidence. In this commentary I raise several issues with a recent paper “Brain structure changes induced by attention bias modification training” (Abend et al. 2019). I follow the paper’s five highlights to discuss; the absence of discussion of negative ABM results, the low power of the study itself. Centrally, I raise the concern that the conclusions rest all their weight on a single statistically significant group x time interaction form brain-wide analysis. Most importantly, this test is not internally consistent following statcheck. The reported result requires checking, and potentially a correction that would shift the results entirely.
Checking in? A dyadic and dynamic perspective on feedback conversations
Authors: Anseel Frederik , Brutus Stéphane
Published: September 2019

Companies are increasingly moving toward more fluidity and flexibility inperformance management. The trend to “unstructure” feedback processes hasled to a renewed interest in evidence-based guidelines on how to organizefeedback in organizations differently. Unfortunately, there remains a dearth ofknowledge on two fundamental properties of feedback processes as they arenow being advanced in organizations. First, feedback is dyadic in that bothemployee and supervisor are active agents in a feedback exchange. Second,feedback is dynamic with feedback conversations being connected in time toprevious and future conversations. Drawing on conceptual and methodologicaladvances in studying dyadic and dynamic processes, we systematically addresspreviously unexplored research areas and paint a more complete picture ofhow informal feedback exchanges in organizations unfold over time. In doingso, we bring together the feedback-seeking, feedback-giving, and feedback environment literature to advance a dyadic and dynamic perspective on feedback processes in organizations.
The neural selection and the emergence of ‘beauty canons’ as signaling codes in co-evolving species
Authors: Formenti Alessandro
Published: September 2019

Widespread opinion wants beauty to be pleasant and aimless, this assumption biased Darwin's explanation of sexual selection. Conversely, Wallace hypothesized that showy and symmetric sexual traits correlate with vigor and health and he placed ‘aesthetic’ preferences within the natural selection. The controversy has continued until today. To understand the role of beauty canons in communication, the focus was on the flower-pollinator cooperative system as a model, were flower evolution embodies the natural history of pollinators' preferences.Optimum for a signal requires energy efficiency, high signal-to-noise ratio, and intelligibility. It involves pollinator perception mechanisms that, in turn, induce co-evolutionary feedback on signal traits. In fact, the flowers physical and hedonic properties correlate with the basic perceptual, motivational, emotional, and learning mechanisms of pollinators. It is proposed that pollinator behavior, unmasking a preference, reveals the ability to evaluate an expected benefit. Features such as a relative simplicity, redundancy, and regularity of stimuli facilitate perception and memorization and are essential elements for communication between co-evolving species. They improve signaling to satisfy the need for easy and fast recognition. With these properties, a stimulus is adaptive and rewarding per se and may be an ideal conditioned stimulus in associative learning. Among the most conspicuous signals, pollinators learn to recognize and choose those associated with nectar, thus favoring the evolution of flowers that are not only ‘beautiful’ but also ‘honest’ in reporting a reward. Beauty is an emergent property, and studying communication and perception we may understand the origin of some beauty canons.
Making it harder to 'see' meaning: The more you see something, the more its conceptual representation is susceptible to visual interference
Authors: Davis Charles P. , Joergensen Gitte H. , Boddy Peter , Dowling Caitlin , Yee Eiling
Published: September 2019

Does the perceptual system for looking at the world overlap with the conceptual system for thinking about it? In two experiments (N = 403), we show that (1) when making simple semantic judgments on words, interference from a concurrent visual task scales in proportion to how much visual experience people have with the things the words refer to, and (2) when making the same judgments on the very same words, interference from a concurrent manual task scales in proportion to how much manual (but critically, not visual) experience people have with those same things. These results suggest that the meanings of frequently visually-experienced things are represented (in part) in the visual system used for actually seeing them, that this visually represented information is a functional part of conceptual knowledge, and that the extent of these visual representations is influenced by visual experience.
Imperfect Automata: Effects of “mutation” on the evolution of automaton 01101110 (Rule 110)
Authors: Popa Andrei
Published: September 2019

Cellular automata are discreet mathematical models. They consist of cells; each cell can exist in a limited number of mutually exclusive states, like 0 or 1. The state of each cell at time t is determined by simple rules, based on the states of its neighboring cells. While exploring their relevance to behavioral sciences (McDowell & Popa, 2009) one aspect caught my attention: it seemed that all emerging structures and patterns could be traced back to the first few generations; patterns were evolving, colliding, changing, and disappearing, but no new patterns or structures were emerging from non-patterns (i.e., "uniformity"). In biological systems, novelty is made possible by mutation (Thomas, 1974) – a concept central to my computational work on learning (Popa & McDowell, 2016) and on the emergence of psychological objects and phenomena from changes in neuronal activation states (Popa, 2019). Unlike biological systems, automata are deterministic systems, governed by precise rules. The question examined here was: what if these rules weren’t precise? What if every time a cell is created, there’s a small probability to make a mistake, to write 0 instead of 1 and vice-versa? I explored this idea in the context of Rule 110 (01101110), an elementary CA notorious for its fascinating properties (Wolfram, 2002). A small amount of mutation – e.g., 0.00005 probability to make mistakes – facilitated the emergence of new patterns and structures, disconnected from the initial conditions. Mutation rates of 0.0001 – 0.0005 produced an abundance of irregular, interacting structures. Mutation rates higher than 1% prevented the emergence of discernible patterns, producing instead an amalgam of ill-defined, organic-looking structures. These results suggested that imperfect automata may provide useful insight on the evolution of non-deterministic systems and on the emergence of novelty – two key topics in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
How to Draw a Neighborhood? The Potential of Big Data, Regionalization, and Community Detection for Understanding the Heterogeneous Nature of Urban Neighborhoods.
Authors: Poorthuis Ate
Published: September 2019

How to draw neighborhood boundaries, or spatial regions in general, has been a long‐standing focus in Geography. This article examines this question from a methodological perspective, often referred to as regionalization, with an empirical study of neighborhoods in New York City. I argue that methodological advances, combined with the affordances of big data, enable a different, more nuanced approach to regionalization than has been possible in the past. Conventional data sets often dictate constraints in terms of data availability and spatio‐temporal granularity. However, big data is now available at much finer spatio‐temporal scales and covers a wider array of aspects of social life. The emergence of these data sets supports the notion that neighborhoods can be fuzzy and highly dependent on spatio‐temporal scales and socio‐economic variables. As such, these new data sets can help to bring quantitative analysis in line with social theory that has long emphasized the heterogeneous nature of neighborhoods. This article uses a data set of geotagged tweets to demonstrate how different “sets” of neighborhoods may exist at different spatio‐temporal scales and for different algorithms. Such varying neighborhood boundaries are not a technical problem in need of a solution but rather a reflection of the complexity of the underlying urban fabric.
An Institutional Approach to Gender Diversity and Firm Performance
Authors: Zhang Letian
Published: September 2019

This study examines data from 35 countries and 24 industries to understand the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance. Previous studies report conflicting evidence: some find that gender-diverse firms experience more positive performance and others find the opposite. However, most research to date has focused on a single country or industry and has not accounted for possible variation across social contexts. This paper advances an institutional framework and predicts that gender diversity’s relationship with performance depends on both its normative and regulatory acceptance in the broader institutional environment. Using a unique longitudinal sample of 1,069 leading public firms around the world, I find that the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance varies significantly across countries and industries due to differences in institutional context. The more gender diversity has been normatively accepted in a country or industry, the more gender-diverse firms experience positive market valuation and increased revenue. These findings underscore the importance of the broader social context when considering the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance.
Career Gatekeeping in Cultural Fields
Authors: Hamann Julian , Beljean Stefan
Published: September 2019

This paper presents a comparative analysis of career gatekeeping processes in two cultural fields. Drawing on data on appointment procedures in German academia and booking processes in North American stand-up comedy, we compare how gatekeepers in two widely different contexts evaluate and select candidates for established positions in their respective field and validate their decisions. Focusing on three types of gatekeeping practices that have been documented in prior research—typecasting, comparison, and legitimization—our analysis reveals major differences in how gatekeepers perform these practices across our two cases: (1) typecasting based on ascriptive categories vs. professional criteria, (2) comparisons that are ad-hoc and holistic vs. systematic and guided by performance criteria, and (3) legitimation by means of ritualization vs. transparency. We argue that these differences are related to the social and organizational context in which gatekeepers make selection decisions, including differences in the structure of academic and creative careers and the organization of the respective labor markets in which these careers unfold. These findings contribute to scholarship on gatekeeping in cultural fields by providing comparative insights into the work of career gatekeepers and the social organization of career gatekeeping processes.
Making Big Data Small: Strategies to Expand Urban and Geographical Research Using Social Media.
Authors: Poorthuis Ate , Zook Matthew
Published: September 2019

While exciting, Big Data (particularly geotagged social media data) has proven difficult for many urbanists and social science researchers to use. As a partial solution, we propose a strategy that enables the fast extracting of only relevant data from large sets of geosocial data. While contrary to many Big Data approaches—in which analysis is done on the entire dataset—much productive social science work can use smaller datasets—around the same size as census or survey data—within standard methodological frameworks. The approach we outline in this paper—including the example of a fully operating system—offers a solution for urban researchers interested in these types of data but reluctant to personally build data science skills.

In addition to ethnic homophily in friendship networks, our results reveal a tendency among students to dislike ethnic outgroup members (ethnic heterophobia). However, students are more likely to engage in violence towards same-ethnic peers than outgroup members. This is partly due to the greater prevalence of violence among students who are close in the friendship network and students who spend time together outside of school. Moreover, schools marked by stronger ethnic homophily in friendships tend to display higher levels of ethnic heterophobia but exhibit higher levels of intra-ethnic rather than inter-ethnic violence.
Using Computer Algebra Systems together with lavaan to generate symbolic model-implied covariance matrices in SEM
Authors: Andersen Henrik
Published: September 2019

Careful inspection of the model-implied covariance matrix can help researchers gain a better understanding of their structural equation models. This article outlines a method of using the Computer Algebra System package Ryacas together with the structural equation modeling package lavaan in R to generate symbolic model-implied covariance matrices. The method is more efficient and less prone to errors than other methods like the tracing rule or typical covariance algebra by hand.

Menelusuri Kata Bermakna Manusia dalam al-Qur’ān
Authors: Velasufah Whasfi , Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: September 2019

Allōh «الله» telah menciptakan manusia untuk menjadi kholīfah «خليفة» di Bumi, seperti disebutkan dalam al-Qur’ān «القرآن» Sūrot al-Baqorah «سورة البقرة» ayat 30. Kita semua sering membaca, mendengar, atau menyimak kata dalam al-Qur’ān yang dialihbahasakan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia menjadi ‘manusia’. Seakan hanya ada satu kata saja yang dipakai untuk menyebut manusia, seolah tak ada perbedaan apapun saat kata-kata yang dialihbahasakan itu diungkapkan. Padahal kalau dicermati, terdapat tiga kata yang dipakai untuk menyebut ‘manusia’, yang masing-masing memiliki penekanan tersendiri. Pertama, ‘manusia’ disebut dengan ‘al-basyār’ «البشر», yang bermakna ‘manusia’ sebagai makhluk individual dalam dimensi jasmani, ialah makhluk yang memiliki badan. Kedua, ‘manusia’ disebut dengan sebutan ‘al-insān’ «الإنسان», yang bermakna ‘manusia’ sebagai makhluk individual dalam dimensi ruhani, ialah makhluk yang memiliki perasaan. Ketiga, ‘manusia’ disebut dengan sebutan ‘al-nās’ «الناس», yang bermakna ‘manusia’ sebagai makhluk sosial, ialah makhluk yang memiliki kecenderungan berkumpul atas dasar kesamaan jasmani dan/atau ruhani. Penggunaan kata tersebut menunjukkan bahwa al-Qur’ān mengandung pesan tersirat dalam ungkapan tersurat, yang untuk kasus ini seakan engajak kita agar menyadari sisi-sisi manusia yang dimiliki. Melalui kesadaran tersebut, kita dituntun untuk menjadi kholīfah di bumi dengan memperhatikan sisi individual (jasmani dan rohani) maupun sosial seutuhnya tanpa mengutamakan atau meminggirkan salah satunya. Dengan demikian, setiap perbuatan yang dilakukan tidak memberatkan diri sendiri dan orang lain.

Authors: Si'ayah Syarofis , Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: September 2019

Based on the perspective that intelligence is an essential element for learning and academic achievement nor challenge that it isn’t dominated by a single general ability but differentiates human intelligence into specific modalities, we have examined empirically the instrument through rigorous survey data. The instrument used was Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS) that translated into Bahasa Indonesia. The 4 expert judged our Indonesian translation version of MIS and 240 students responded to this version. It assesses nine type of intelligences: verbal, logical, visual, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existentialist. The findings of this work shows that the instrument is a valid and reliable and the entire statement can be completed in about 10 minutes. Through this work, we suggest our version of MIS in Bahasa Indonesia as an efficient instrument to measure the Indonesian students multiple intelligences in different education level.

Published: September 2019

Based on the perspective that motivation is an essential element for learning and academic achievement nor challenge that its components are not directly observable variables, we have examined empirically the instrument through rigorous survey data. The instrument used was Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II) that translated into Bahasa Indonesia. The 4 expert judged our Indonesian translation version of SMQ-II and 240 students responded to this version. It assesses five motivation components: intrinsic motivation, self-determination, self-efficacy, career motivation, and grade motivation. The findings of this work shows that the questionnaire is a valid and reliable and the entire questionnaire can be completed in about 15 minutes. Through this work, we suggest our version of SMQ-II in Bahasa Indonesia as an efficient instrument for assessing components of Indonesia students’ motivation to learn in various learning context.

Influence of elements of growing technology on the content of biologically active substances in some varieties of NICOTIANA TABACUM in the conditions of the climate of Podillia
Authors: Bobrovskaya O. A. , Sergeyev S. V.
Published: September 2019

The article presents the results of a study of the influence of elements of the cultivation technology, namely the use of two basal dressings and phytohormones on the indicators of phenological processes in Nicotiana tabacum plants in the conditions of the Podillia climate. The specific features of the growth and development of two varieties of the Virginia-27 and Burley Silver River were studied. The amount of the biologically active substance - nicotine in the grown raw materials is determined and the biological features of the accumulation of biologically active substances in the raw materials are established depending on the type and technical methods of cultivation. A comparative analysis of the nicotine content was carried out using mineral fertilizers in the proportions N90P120K90 and P90K90 in comparison with plants on the control. A positive effect on the phenological levels of development and acceleration of leaf ripening for 8 days in comparison with the control was noted. A tendency has been found to reduce the amount of nicotine in plants that received basal mineral dressing, compared with plants in the control. Also, we have identified the positive effect of phytohormones on the phenological parameters of grown plants. However, in the conditions of our climate, questions about the cultivation technologies under study and their influence on the chemical composition of the grown plants require more detailed study. On this basis, such studies are necessary both in practical, economic, and scientific medical and biological aspects.
