An exploration of the mathematical learner identities of high school learners who participated in after school mathematics clubs in primary school
Authors:   , Hokonya Wellington Munetsi
Published: November 2021

This study focuses on understanding mathematics learner identities of high school learners who participated in the South African Numeracy Chair Project after school mathematics clubs, an environment that afforded different mathematics identities from the traditional South African classroom. Mathematics learner identities feature prominently in current research on mathematics education because they affect whether and how learners engage in mathematics. They play a critical role in enhancing (or detracting from) learners’ attitudes, dispositions, emotional development, and general sense of self as they learn mathematics. Development of positive learner mathematical identity is therefore useful in making learners commit to their mathematics work. South African primary mathematics education is described as being in a state of crisis, and various programmes are being implemented to develop intervention models to improve quality and ensure the effective teaching and learning of primary mathematics. The South African Numeracy Chair Project initiative at Rhodes University provides for longitudinal research and development programmes with primary mathematics teachers and learners from previously disadvantaged schools, in order to find ways of mitigating the crisis. The after school mathematics clubs provide extra-curricular activities focused on developing a supportive learning community where learners’ active mathematical participation, engagement, enjoyment, and sense making are the focus. The clubs provide a supportive learning environment that is different to the traditional classroom and in which learners can participate actively and freely in mathematical activities. The study explores the nature of mathematics learner identities as learning trajectories that connect the past and future in negotiation of the present. It also seeks to discover how primary school club participation and experiences feature in the learners’ mathematical identities. The study employs two theoretical frameworks to analyse qualitative data that was gathered in the form of spoken and written stories, by 14 learners who participated in the after school mathematics clubs in primary school. The stories covered learners’ engagement in mathematics in different landscapes of practice that promoted the construction of different learner mathematical identities. A close analysis of the qualitative data revealed that learners’ mathematical identities are heavily influenced by the values that were foregrounded in the after school mathematics clubs. The clubs valued hard work and encouraged learners to ask for assistance when in doubt. In line with the club ethos, the learners storied resilience and hard work in their narratives. In addition, although many learners storied Mathematics as difficult in high school, they chose to continue taking the subject.

Clinical and molecular heterogeneity of bronchial asthma has been documented in recent years. The search for novel solutions to enhance efficient patient support related first of all to understanding of asthma heterogenic nature and allows to personalize each patient treatment. Biological therapy application can influence to achieve better control at greater extent for patients with severe uncontrolled asthma. Nowadays 5 biological drugs are registered on Russian Federation territory and implemented according to severe asthma phenotypes: anti-IgE, anti-IL-4,13 and anti-IL-5 class therapies. Omalizumab become the first target drug for uncontrolled allergic asthma patients (monoclonal antibody against IgE). This medication is prescribed for uncontrolled moderate and severe allergic (atopic) asthma in patients on basic asthma therapy according GINA step 4 and 5 (Level of evidence A). Clinical trials confidently reported that anti- IgE-therapy reduces the rate of asthma exacerbations, severity of disease in patients with chronic severe asthma on high doses of inhaled steroids or systemic steroids and allows to reduce or withdraw systemic steroids doses in case of steroid-dependent asthma. For the last years special attention led to and demonstrated omalizumab positive effect on airways remodeling and modification of bronchial asthma natural course in adults and children. Antiinflammatory effect of omalizumab is documented. Omalizumab significantly reduces eosinophilic infiltration of submucosal bronchi layer among patients with atopic asthma, sputum eosinophilia, which correlates with reduction of FeNO during biologic treatment, reduces mast cells infiltration of smooth muscle cells in bronchi. Omalizumab significantly reduces the thickness of the bronchial wall, increases the lumen of the bronchi (positive dynamics of CT-scan parameters), which is clinically manifested by increased of FEV1.

Published: November 2021

A utilização dos sistemas de recomendação em aplicações acadêmicas pode servir para auxiliar o aluno a selecionar disciplinas de acordo com suas habilidades, interesses e desempenho em disciplinas cursadas anteriormente. No presente trabalho propomos a implementação de um sistema de recomendação baseado em sistema imunológico artificial, tomando como base um banco de dados com informações acadêmicas de alunos de Engenharia de Redes de Comunicação.A utilização do sistema imunológico artificial confere uma diversidade na vizinhança que é tida como base para fazer a recomendação, devido a maior diversidade entre os vizinhos que tenham alguma semelhança ao aluno alvo, é esperada uma abrangência maior nas opções de disciplinas que podem ser recomendadas.Experimentos foram conduzidos para avaliar o desempenho geral da abordagem proposta.Estudos iniciais mostraram que comparada a técnica básica de filtragem colaborativa, há um expressivo aumento do número de recomendações aliado a uma maior precisão, podemos inferir que a rede formada pelo AIS leva a obtenção de uma vizinhança que tem abrangência maior do conjunto de matérias relevantes.
Artificial intelligence applied to support the breast cancer diagnosis
Authors: Gomes Woldson Leonne Pereira , Silveira Antonio
Published: October 2021

Breast cancer is a more common neoplasm among women (not considering non-melanoma skin cancer). The estimate for the coming years is still growing and poses a threat to human health. Currently, the methods used in the diagnosis of breast cancer are performed through analysis of mammography images. Allowed, an analysis made by two specialists, which are subject to errors due to factors such as fatigue and lack of capacity. Not only the factor of human errors in diagnoses, certainly the long periods of time until the final diagnosis is another factor to be taken into account, because cancer is a progressive disease over time. In this sense, the present work applied a solution through the automatic classification of mammography images, in order to determine as normal or cancer. In addition, for simulations, two machine learning techniques were added independently, as they can eventually serve as a support in the diagnosis of breast cancer, that is, a CAD system, which means “computer-aided diagnosis”. As machine learning techniques applied for classification referenced as convolutional neural networks and support vector machines. Subsequently, the construction of the classification algorithms, they were subjected to the testing phase, which was found to be more than 85% accurate in the classification of mammography images.
Modelo preditivo para o problema da dieta
Authors: Santos Glauber S. , Freitas Alan R. R.
Published: October 2021

Há um esforço constante para desenvolver e aprimorar estratégias ao lidar com o clássico problema da dieta. Modelos matemáticos e técnicas de programação têm sido desenvolvidos para geração de menus restritivos. No entanto, uma nova tendência ainda pouco abordada, no âmbito computacional, é a nutrição comportamental. Essa abordagem científica voltada para o aconselhamento nutricional, mostra-se mais eficaz do que as dietas restritivas comuns, por se adaptar aos hábitos e preferências dos usuários buscando o equilíbrio entre liberdade, saúde e sabor. Portanto, visando contribuir para uma alimentação menos restritiva e mais intuitiva, neste artigo, propomos um modelo de otimização interativo, resolvido por meio de um algoritmo evolutivo. O usuário interage após cada refeição e os dados dos alimentos ingeridos são usados para prever preferências e reequilibrar o cardápio das próximas refeições, caso seja necessário. Por fim, o modelo proposto demonstrou ser capaz de balancear com sucesso refeições com o consumo calórico de até 5 vezes maior que o esperado.

Published: October 2021

Na literatura médica, a arritmia é uma das principais complicações que os pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise podem enfrentar, com destaque para as contrações prematuras atriais e ventriculares. Devido a tais complicações, torna-se tipicamente necessário que profissionais de saúde examinem periodicamente esses pacientes. Nesta direção, este trabalho propõe o uso de um classificador Random Forests para a identificação automática destes dois tipos de arritmia em pacientes submetidos a hemodiálise, o qual possa contribuir para uma resposta mais rápida da equipe e um possível melhor manejo das intercorrências. Para tanto, não é considerada nenhuma técnica de extração de parâmetros dos sinais, sendo o classificador alimentado com trechos dos sinais centrados nos batimentos, onde cada batimento define uma amostra de avaliação. Através de simulações computacionais, utilizando de uma base de dados reais de Eletrocardiograma (ECG), verificou-se uma acurácia de 98,6% e uma sensibilidade de 92,0%.

O problema de index tracking estuda a reprodução da performance de um índice com um portfólio formado por um número restrito de ativos. Esta abordagem é especialmente importante em situações reais, onde custos de transação estão associados à compra e venda de ativos, impossibilitando uma replicação fiel do benchmark. No entanto, essa restrição de cardinalidade do portfólio acrescenta uma complexidade adicional, por isso, sua solução pode levar muito tempo. Para contornar este problema, metaheurísticas foram propostas com o objetivo de alcançar boas soluções em um tempo razoável. Este trabalho analisa a performance de cinco algortimos genéticos aplicados a duas formulações de modelos para a otimização deste problema de seleção portfólio: um linear e outro quadrático, em termos de tempo de execução e qualidade da solução. Os resultados mostram que a abordagem híbrida dos GAs foi capaz de retornar soluções competitivas em menos tempo do que um solver genérico, tanto em períodos de otimização simples quanto em estratégias de rebalanceamento do portfólio, de forma a ser uma alternativa confiável à um gestor de fundos para ajudar em seu processo de tomada de decisão, permitindo diversos experimentos em um curto período de tempo antes da formação do portfólio.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: It is a known fact that teachers’ knowledge and use of effective classroom management (CM) strategies has a positive impact on their professional achievement and their students’ learning outcomes. Effective strategies that teachers can use are presented in various scientific studies. However, these strategies are not used sufficiently in practice for various reasons, and therefore, in many classrooms, controlling students' problem behavior, focusing students on activities, and maintaining effective education is not yet a task that teachers achieved adequately. Besides, educational settings become more inclusive day by day and increased student diversity add to the complexity of problems encountered in CM. In the light of literature, this study aims to identify the problems encountered about CM by today’s teachers along with the causes of these problems and to present tools that can be used to solve these problems.Discussion: With this purpose, the study examined the content of the “2023 Education Vision” prepared by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) of Turkey as a short-term guide to solve the problems in the system of education in regards to classroom management. The study also presents some recommendations to policymakers about the changes planned in teacher training and professional development programs to solve problems related to CM.
Happiness Issue – Moral Aspects of its Biochemical Enhancement
Authors: Plašienková Zlatica , Farbák Martin
Published: October 2021

The search for happiness is something that constitutes human existence from its beginning, and even though people have achieved unimaginable progress in science and technologies, they still have not found the secret of being happy. Transhumanist authors, headed by Mark Walker, believe we can reach happiness biochemically using specific drugs and without considerable side effects. They consider it to be our moral duty because it would increase the prosocial behaviour of people enhanced in that way, following research showing that the happier people are, the more useful it is for society. In this paper, we critically respond to the vision of biochemical enhanced happiness (bio-happiness). We follow the classic and modern authors in our analysis of what happiness is, and based on this analysis, we want to demonstrate why the biochemical enhancement of happiness is not a moral imperative these days. On the contrary, we offer the reasoning why such a vision of bio-happiness is not morally right, and why it bears the risk of losing the connection between happiness and finding the meaningfulness of life. We critically evaluate the absence of spirituality in the transhumanist understanding of man and the devaluation of her/his intrinsic values.

Published: November 2021

:

α-lipoic acid (ALA), also known as thioctic acid, is a biological thiol present in all types of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It has been shown that ALA or its reduced form, DHLA, have several positive effects on human health acting as biological antioxidant, metal chelator and as a detoxifying agent. It is able to reduce oxidation of several antioxidant agents like glutathione, vitamins C and E, and to modulate insulin and NF-kB signaling pathways. ALA’s pharmacological effects are not only related to its antioxidant properties but it shows an anti-inflammatory action. In particular, ALA is able to reduce inflammasome activity, the pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and IL-17, interferon (INF)-γ as well as the production of Vascular and Intercellular cell adhesion protein (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1). In recent papers, ALA has been indicated as a possible therapeutic approach to several endocrine or inflammatory disorders affecting female reproduction. Aim of the current review was to assess whether ALA has an evidence-based beneficial role on gynecological and obstetrical diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and miscarriage.
Political discourse approach applied the current study issue occurred
Authors: Woodlove Gloria Monica , Vurly Mike Emerson
Published: November 2021

The research was to aim at approaching a political discourse as an effort to solve the issues. News reporting assigns meaning to issues by providing a continuous record of public events and visibility to the claims of actors. The public sphere is an important field where social problems are constructed and political alternatives become defined. When one considers these functions, it is hardly surprising that news has become an important source of data for a group of researchers who are interested in studying the nature of political challenges that are mobilized in the public domain. However, there sometimes appears to be a tendency within the social movements field to let theoretical development outrun a discussion on the methods with which we are equipped to address our research questions. In this contribution, our focus will be self-consciously directed to methods, and more precisely we make specific proposals regarding how the important methodological developments that have been made in the field in recent times, might be profitably extended.
Linguistics landscape: A cross culture perspective
Authors: Duizenberg Max Ronald
Published: November 2021

This paper was to aim in discussing the linguistic landscape. It was the visibility and salience of languages on public and commercial signs in a given territory or region (Landry and Bourhis 1997). The linguistic landscape has been described as being somewhere at the junction of sociolinguistics, sociology, social psychology, geography, and media studies. It is a concept used in sociolinguistics as scholars study how languages are visually used in multilingual societies, from large metropolitan centers to Amazonia. For example, some public signs in Jerusalem are in Hebrew, English, and Arabic (Spolsky and Cooper 1991, Ben-Rafael et al., 2006). Studies of the linguistic landscape have been published from research done around the world. The field of study is relatively recent; the linguistic landscape paradigm has evolved rapidly and while it has some key names associated with it, it currently has no clear orthodoxy or theoretical core.

Metaphor as an object of the synergy paradigm study
Authors: Guliyev Fakhraddin Abdulkerim Oglu
Published: November 2021

The article investigates the ontognoseological properties of metaphor from the point of view of the synergetic paradigm. By the principles of synergetic science, metaphor is considered as a nonlinear system category that performs a system-forming, heuristic, generalizing function. With the help of the principle of subordination, complex systems are described through a limited number of order parameters, as a result of which information is compressed without loss. The metaphor has its origins in the economy: as a method of abstraction, the transition from the infinite to the finite, and the reduction of lexical means. Metaphor is a way of transmitting an idea that has a methodological significance, i.e. one theoretical system is translated into another and one system is investigated through another, simpler system. Metaphor as a dynamic formation establishes connections between objects of different orders and processes in their development in space and time, which allows you to explore metaphors using the principles of synergetics.

culture of patriarchy, gender bias, and class discrimination in Mahesh Dattani’s Tara
Authors: Kumar Tribhuwan
Published: November 2021

This research paper, which makes use of Mahesh Dattani's play Tara (1990), emphasises the concept of social issues such as gender inequalities, suffering, and depression, which are experienced by both men and women in equal measure. Gender discrimination, injustice done solely on the basis of gender, and preference for male children in Indian homes are all issues that are the focus of this research. Tara, Dattani's other play, addresses the issue of gender discrimination. The play addresses the emotional and physical separation of conjoined twins. It exemplifies the society's ingrained patriarchal system. Women act as a key in patriarchy's hands, ensuring the survival of patriarchal values. The purpose of this article is to discuss and analyse the play's issue of female marginalisation. Chandan, a boy child, is preferred to Tara, a girl child, in an Indian family. Despite the fact that she is Tara's mother, Bharati wrecks her daughter's life and ultimately suffers as a result of her harsh behaviour. Dr. Thakkar makes an error in his capacity as a scientist and a technophile. Bharati and her father bribed him with a piece of land in exchange for Tara’s death.

Published: November 2021

Life for married college students can indeed be very tedious and challenging. But with perseverance, good support system, and proper motivation these students will be able to cope well with the issues they face at present. This study elucidates the dominant lived-experiences of married college students valuing the resiliency theory. Qualitative study was employed, back up with triangulation to substantiate the theory used in the study. The study is deemed to denude the lived-experiences of married students while they are studying in a private or public universities in Region 02. To assess resiliency, the tool Cannor- Davidson Resilience Scale was also made use to measure the strength of these students while taking a risk in their lives. In this study, it revealed that married students are even stronger while they are facing tribulations in their respective lives.  They even gamble their future but still optimistic enough to face whatever future may give them.  Married students were able to exhibit compassion and empathy, resourceful and flexible and they show concern to everyone. One great thing that had been uncovered was that married students were problem solvers and critical thinkers.

Published: November 2021

In any society or group, the behavior and manner of acting that are highly rated can be estimated based on the level of appreciation given by the group to that level of behavior. This reward system will be studied to show the kinds of behavior group members are expected to get by the group and the kinds of behavior that - through the reward system - will be strengthened and perpetuated in the group. The study of the wage and incentive systems of Japanese factories revealed very well the differences between Western industry and modern Japanese industry. The study also showed both the types and magnitude of the differences that underlie attitudes and behaviors that distinguish modern industry in Japan from that in the United States. In the following discussion, the wage system in one factory will be examined in detail to illustrate the particular central trend that appears in all studied factories. Since the monetary wage system for work performed is only a part of the entire wage system, it will also examine the general pattern of non-monetary benefits, welfare efforts, incentive programs for workers, using specific plans and costs of a particular factory.
Agents in Balinese passive construction
Authors: Sujaya Nyoman , Winaya Made Detrichyeni , Sukiani Ni Ketut
Published: November 2021

This paper accounts for the agents in Balinese passive forms. It focuses on kinds of agent and their syntactic and semantic representation in Balinese passive constructions. This research used two novels, namely Dadi Ati written by Manda (2013) and Ki Baru Gajah by Sugianto (2015) as the data source. To support the data, this research also used informants. Aplying the RRG theory proposed by Van Valin and Randy (1999) and ideas from Balinese experts, it was found out that the agents of Balinese passive sentences varied in their forms and applied various constructions and semantic representation. Some constructions of passive sentences do not have an agent in their usage and some do have it. The ka- passive forms, for example, generally have no agents, but the ka- forms followed by suffix -ang or -in do need an agent. The first and second person agents directly follow the verb in the passive constructions. These two agents may be expressed by a noun. The pronoun in the third person as an agent can be expressed by suffix -a. Frequently the agents are expressed by a prepositional phrase.
Why English teaching truth on digital trends as an effort for effective learning and evaluation: opportunities and challenges: analysis of teaching English
Authors: Susanty Lela , Hartati Zainap , Sholihin Rahmat , Syahid Abdul , Liriwati Fahrina Yustiasari
Published: November 2021

This study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of why foreign language teaching, especially English, believes in using digital trend applications to improve learning effectiveness and evaluation validity in the perspective of current opportunities and challenges. So, for this purpose, the step we take is to examine hundreds of scientific reports on teaching English in many international contexts to answer the questions above with valid and reliable principles. Because Indonesia is currently in the process of implementing restrictions on public movements to respond to Covid-19, we have decided that this study will depend on secondary data through a Google search engine on scientific journals such as Willey, Taylor & France, Google Book, ERIC, Sagepub, and other international journals. Our data is analyzed with an unusual approach: coding, evaluation, interpretation, and drawing of results that answer the problem of the study. Discussing the results, we found that teaching English believes in digital applications to improve teaching and evaluation effectiveness because these applications have proven to be very innovative and effective in increasing the world's productivity globally. Hopefully, this finding helps develop future teaching studies.
loyalty of workers to industrial organization
Authors: Ernayani Rihfenti , Perbawasari Susie , Boukri Soukaina , Hubur Aa , Kurniawan Roan
Published: November 2021

The differences in roles between individuals in Western factories and in Japanese factories - the ways in which individuals are given responsibility and authority, what rewards are given, and behaviors are rewarded - have a close relationship with the differences between their two cultural backgrounds. Japanese industry has for decades coated the top of a very and once feudal society for several centuries. The loyalty of workers to industrial organization, the paternal style of motivating and paying workers, the deep involvement of the company in all things which were to the eyes of the workers' private affairs - all of these had something in common with Japanese pre-industrial social organization. This equation does not underestimate the massive changes that have taken place in Japan during its industrialization period. Japan has changed enormously; and the changes continue. However, if the study of industrialization in Japan is to be relevant for the study of economic development in other Asian nations, then the nature of the changes that have occurred must be well understood.

Authors: Kazakov Alexander Sergeevich , Prodanova Natalia Alekseevna , Arhipovskaya Elena Petrovna , Protasova Sofya Sergeevna , Kosnikov Sergey Nikolaevich
Published: November 2021

The article discusses the problems and prospects of professional development of civil servants in the field of internal and external state financial control. The relevance of the research problem is due to the active development of legislation in the field of control and supervisory activities, which leads to increased requirements for state auditors. Since Federal Law No. 79-FL of 27.07.2004 "On the State Civil Service" and the Decrees of the President of Russia adopted in addition to it establish a minimum list of requirements for the qualifications of employees. In practice, the control bodies proceed from a fairly broad interpretation of the qualifications and competence of auditors, which negatively affects the quality of their activities. According to the results of the study, the concept of professional competence of the state auditor was formulated, which should be fixed in the industry legislation, and the Federal Professional Standard of Higher Education in the field of state audit was also studied, in accordance with which employee retraining programs should be brought in order. The material of the article is based on the current legislative framework and taking into account the latest trends in the training of employees of state financial control bodies.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of the work is to explore the potential of online learning in modern conditions and to assess the possibilities of its use at different stages of the educational process. The reason for the mass appeal to this form of education is that the entire education system from primary to higher level underwent a transformation during the period of isolation associated with the spread of COVID-19.

In the Tibetan Buddhist context, a pantheon of deities is recognized to be a legitimate refuge. The question of why the status of the deities has become, over the long history of Buddhism in Tibet, equal to the Triratna is not easy to answer. This paper investigates the role and status of deities in Tibetan Buddhist practice. The finding suggests that the status and role of the Tibetan deities are connected to the Tulku tradition and the Trik?ya system. The deities exist in two classes: the class of enlightened beings and the class of non-enlightened beings. They constitute the Sambhogak?ya in the Trik?ya system. Externally, the deities of both classes are involved with their worshippers socially and spiritually as providers of wealth and security, as teachers, protectors, guardians, advisers and even as a kind of refuge. Internally, the status and roles of the deities are concerned with internal spiritual attainment.

“Facing the virus” anaphora in political speech: a faircloughian analysis of president Xi Jinping’s address to United Nations general assembly
Authors: Luo Yongming
Published: November 2021

This research study aimed at the analysis of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s political discourse (his speech) delivered via video link at the annual General Debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The focus of analysis is the president’s speech using Norman Fairclough’s modal of three levels or dimensions of discourse. Results show that the speech uses anaphora and pronouns which position an inclusive society of togetherness with differences and competitions among nations, as part of natural order of things. Social determinants like the need to belong, the use of politeness in a context of formality and the appeal to class sentiments against social struggle. These practices contribute in gaining legitimacy and power in the speech. While the speech is considered a powerful tool in unpacking the speaker’s ideologies, behind the personas – international persona as juxtaposed with the national persona, the realities of political struggle, national or international, the stabilization of power and the struggle for multilateralism remain a challenge.
