Broad motives in short scales - A questionnaire for the Zurich Model of Social Motivation
Authors: Schönbrodt Felix D. , Unkelbach Sven , Spinath Frank M.
Published: July 2018

We introduce a new questionnaire which measures interindividual differences in five motivational systems (Security, Arousal, Power, Prestige and Achievement) with six items per scale. As a theoretical base of our work we referred to the Zurich Model of Social Motivation, which describes and models these motivational systems in a system theoretic way. The questionnaire is formulated in German and called "Motive Profile following the Zurich Model (MPZM)". Data indicate that the questionnaire Shows good psychometric properties with Cronbach‘s α > 0.73 and an excellent factorial structure (n=1243). To assess convergent and discriminant validity, the MPZM was compared with the Personality Research Form (PRF-D), the Multi-Motive-Grid (MMG) and the NEO-FFI in a multitrait multimethodanalysis and a scale level factor Analysis (n=190). The MPZM showed convergent validity to content matched scales of the PRF (r=0.55), no differentiated relationship to the MMG and few correlations to the NEO FFI. First indications of external validity were studied through biographical data. MPZM was able to predict them with adjusted multiple Rs of up to r=0.40 and outperformed both NEO-FFI and MMG in predictive power and incremental validity.
CoTO: A Novel Approach for Fuzzy Aggregation of Semantic Similarity Measures
Authors: Martinez-Gil Jorge
Published: July 2018

Semantic similarity measurement aims to determine the likeness between two text expressions that use different lexicographies for representing the same real object or idea. There are a lot of semantic similarity measures for addressing this problem. However, the best results have been achieved when aggregating a number of simple similarity measures. This means that after the various similarity values have been calculated, the overall similarity for a pair of text expressions is computed using an aggregation function of these individual semantic similarity values. This aggregation is often computed by means of statistical functions. In this work, we present CoTO (Consensus or Trade-Off) a solution based on fuzzy logic that is able to outperform these traditional approaches.

ABSTRACTResearch on the development impact of rurall tourism to sosial-culture is a kind of descriptive qualitative research. This research was conducted in Nglanggeran Village Yogakarta. The survei results revealed that the rural tourism development activities undertaken by the Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Nglanggeran considered quite good, the indicator is the average increase in tourist arrivals sizeable year-on-year with the characteristics of travelers are very diverse. The readiness of lokal communities in terms of aspects of education, knowledge, involvement of lokal communities in the development shows that the majority of society has been sufficiently prepared to deal with potential impacts that arise. The growth of tourism which generates high frequency level of interaction between lokal communities and tourists, which is an average of more than 5 times the interaction in every 3 months. In this study also note that developing the Nglanggeran Tourism Village has many different effects. With a good community preparedness, the negative impact of Tourism Village development can be minimized.
Off key or off beat?
Authors: Hadrava Michal , Bahník Štěpán
Published: July 2018

We explored whether the ordering of pitches according to their fit to a tonal context established by so-called probe-tone studies would generalize to isochronous rhythms presented in an analogous context. In an experiment modelled on the probe-tone studies we asked participants to choose which of two isochronous rhythms presented in a simultaneously sounding poly-rhythmical context they like better. We found a strong correlation between preference orderings of rhythms and pitches. This suggests that that the phenomenon of tonality relies on a generic mechanism and gives validity to recent studies explaining tonality and meter in terms of the same family of models.
Moderators of the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes
Authors: Nosek Brian A.
Published: July 2018

Preferences that are products of introspection and endorsed by the respondent (explicit attitudes) can conflict with preferences that are measured indirectly and do not require conscious introspection or endorsement (implicit attitudes). In three studies, two factors are examined that may predict when implicit and explicit attitudes will be associated or dissociated: self-presentation and attitude elaboration. In the first study, evidence that increasing self-presentation demands negatively affected implicit-explicit correspondence was observed through a manipulation of a public and a private context in which the attitude was reported. In the second study, elaborating an attitude for 20 minutes increased implicit-explicit correspondence compared to a control attitude. The third study reports a synthesis of web-based and laboratory tasks that varied in self-presentation and elaboration. Perceived self-presentation and elaboration produced stable differences in implicit-explicit correspondence such that attitude objects with low self-presentation concerns and high elaboration showed the strongest correspondence. These data suggest that existing models cannot sufficiently account for the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes, and that the relationship between automatic and consciously mediated preferences is both reliable and predictable.

Review: teknik pengendalian nematoda puru akar (Meloidogyne spp.) ramah lingkungan
Authors: Istiqomah Dina , Pradana Ankardiansyah Pandu
Published: July 2018

Nematoda puru akar (NPA) Meloidogyne spp. merupakan salah satu patogen penting pada berbagai tanaman hortikultura dan beberapa tanaman pangan di Indonesia. Infeksi NPA mampu menurunkan kuantitas dan kualitas panen, bahkan menyebabkan gagal panen apabila terjadi sinergisme dengan patogen lain. Penggunaan pestisida kimia sintetis untuk mengendalikan Meloidogyne spp. dan patogen lain di kalangan petani sering melebihi batas pemakaian normal. Selain menyebabkan kerusakan dan pencemaran lingkungan, penggunaan pestisida kimia sintetis dapat menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan pada petani, meninggalkan residu kimia yang berbahaya bagi konsumen, dan menurunkan jumlah mikroba dan mikro fauna yang berperan penting dalam pertanian berkelanjutan. Masalah tersebut dapat ditekan tingkat kejadiannya dengan mengurangi penggunaan pestisida kimia sintetis. Terdapat banyak pilihan cara untuk mengendalikan NPA tanpa menggunakan pestisida kimia sintetis, yaitu dengan pola tanam polikultur, memanfaatkan tanaman antagonis, teknik biofumigan, penggunaan ekstrak nabati (pestisida nabati), penggenangan sawah, aplikasi agens antagonis, dan aplikasi metabolit sekunder dari mikroba. Cara-cara tersebut diketahui efektif menekan populasi NPA pada berbagai skala percobaan, dan tidak menimbulkan masalah lingkungan. Beberapa teknik aplikasi seperti pola tanam polikultur, dan aplikasi agens antagonis diketahui tidak hanya menekan populasi NPA dan mengurangi kerusakan akibat infeksi NPA, namun juga mampu meningkatkan hasil panen. Teknik-teknik pengendalian patogen yang ramah lingkungan perlu dilakukan untuk mewujudkan swasembada pangan melalui pertanian berkelanjutan.
Assessing children’s understanding of complex syntax: a comparison of two methods
Authors: Frizelle Pauline , Thompson Paul Andrew , Duta Mihaela , Bishop Dorothy Vera Margaret
Published: July 2018

We examined the effect of two methods of assessment, multiple-choice sentence-picture matching and an animated truth-value judgement task, on typically developing children’s understanding of relative clauses. Children between the ages of 3;06 and 4;11 took part in the study (n = 103). Results indicated that (i) children performed better on the animation than on the multiple-choice task independently of age (ii) each testing method revealed a different hierarchy of constructions (iii) and the testing method had a greater impact on children’s performance with some constructions more than others. Our results suggest that young children have a greater understanding of complex sentences than previously reported, when assessed in a manner more reflective of how we process language in natural discourse.

The PI: An alternative scoring algorithm for the IRAP using a probabilistic semiparametric effect measure
Authors: De Schryver Maarten , Hussey Ian , De Neve Jan , Cartwright Aoife , Barnes-Holmes Dermot
Published: July 2018

The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) has been used to assess the probability of arbitrarily applicable relational responding or as an indirect measure of implicit attitudes. To date, IRAP effects have commonly been quantified using the DIRAP scoring algorithm, which was derived from Greenwald, Nosek and Banaji’s (2003) D effect size measure. In the article, we highlight the difference between an effect size measure and a scoring algorithm, discuss the drawbacks associated with D, and propose an alternative: a probabilistic, semiparametric measure referred to as the Probabilistic Index (Thas, De Neve, Clement, & Ottoy, 2012). Using a relatively large IRAP dataset, we demonstrate how the PI is more robust to the influence of outliers and skew (which are typical of reaction time data), and improves internal consistency. Finally, we conclude that PI models, in addition to producing point estimate scores, can also provide confidence intervals, significance tests, and afford the possibility to include covariates, all of which may aid single subject design studies.

Assessment as a Learning Tool in a Flipped English Language Classroom in Higher Education
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Khalil Rania M Rafik , Shahu Khalid
Published: July 2018

Flipped teaching is a pedagogical model in which the roles of the instructor and the students in a flipped context are redefined. Within this unique pedagogical context, researchers suggest that, in order to maximize the learning process for students, assessment should follow a student-centered approach (Talbert, 2015; Honeycutt & Garrett, 2014). Utilising assessment as a learning tool through layering and scaffolding in the flipped context engages students in the learning process, encourages continuous assessment of student learning, creates opportunities for implementing critical thinking, helps students gain a deeper understanding of concepts, allows formative feedback and eventually yields improved outcomes. This formative assessment approach of layering and scaffolding has been considered to “motivate students” (Spangler, 2015). Layered assessment in the flipped context also becomes a student-centered learning strategy, a means to informally gather feedback about students’ learning and a tool to help instructors refine their teaching. This paper aims to fill the gap in the literature with regards to utilizing assessment for learning and evaluative purposes. It aims to share formative assessment strategies for flipped English language learning, share assessment types which worked in a flipped English language learning classroom, classroom assessment techniques to refine teaching, assessment tools, resources, share recommendations to challenges and propose solutions for effective assessment in a flipped English language learning setting.

"Status: Postprint"Indonesia memiliki lebih kurang 600 suku bangsa dengan identitas dan kebudayaan yang berbeda sehingga dikenal dengan masyarakat multikultural dan pluralitas suku bangsa yang mendiami beribu pulau. Sebagai masyarakat komunal yang mempunyai nilai-nilai yang mendukung pengembangan budaya, konflik berdarah antar kelompok yang bernuansa kesukuan dan agama acap terjadi dan menimbulkan korban yang tidak sedikit. Modal sosial menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam memberikan pencerahan tentang makna kepercayaan, kebersamaan dan toleransi. Menurut Putnam (1993), modal sosial didefinisikan sebagai suatu nilai mutual trust (kepercayaan) antara anggota masyarakat dan masyarakat terhadap pemimpinnya. Pilarnya adalah jaringan (networks), norma-norma (norms), dan kepercayaan sosial (social trust) yang mendorong pada sebuah kolaborasi sosial (koordinasi dan kooperasi) untuk kepentingan bersama. Diperlukan suatu jaringan sosial yang ada dalam masyarakat, dan norma yang mendorong produktivitas komunitas yang memberi hasil yang diinginkan maupun hasil yang tidak diinginkan (Putnam, 1993). Jaringan ini terbentuk atas kesamaan suku atau daerah, agama, politik dan lain-lain. Terwujudnya konsep modal sosial dalam realitas masyarakat akan memberikan kekuatan untuk mewujudkan demokrasi.
Cultural Relativism, Cultural Difference
Authors: Mitropoulos Angela
Published: July 2018

Cultural relativism, like cultural absolutism or cultural pluralism, refers to a theoretical system for classifying and understanding human variation. The concept of cultural relativism emerged as a set of descriptive and epistemological precepts within American anthropology in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and, more broadly, in the course of the decline of polygenetic and biological-racial explanations for human variation. More recently, it has become central to debates over legal and political norms, particularly around multiculturalism, the politics of race and racism, and international human rights law. As a taxonomic system, cultural relativism involves a culturalist iteration of some key tenets of earlier, biological accounts of race, such as essentialism, fixity, comparability, and ranking.
Reconstructing a Performance by Johannes Brahms
Authors: Rosser James
Published: July 2018

The 1889 wax cylinder recording of Brahms’s Hungarian Dance No. 1, performed by the composer, is a fascinating piece of music history. However, today the cylinder is in very poor physical condition and the musical content of surviving copies became almost inaudible before it could be digitised. The cylinder attracted academic interest but conclusions that Brahms used underdotting and improvisation in his performance have made a musically satisfying reconstruction seem unlikely. This paper challenges these conclusions by interpreting note timings from the recording in the context of recent advances in knowledge of past performance practices. The result is an interpretation which remains faithful to the original score and can be performed in a musically satisfying manner, affording insight into Brahms and piano playing in general.

Lessons from Pinocchio: Cues to deception may be highly exaggerated
Authors: Luke Timothy John
Published: July 2018

Deception researchers widely acknowledge that cues to deception - observable behaviors that may differ between truthful and deceptive messages - tend to be weak. Nevertheless, several deception cues have been reported with unusually large effect sizes, and some researchers have advocated the use of such cues as tools for detecting deceit and assessing credibility in practical contexts. Examining data from empirical deception cue research and using a series of Monte Carlo simulations, I demonstrate that many estimated effect sizes of deception cues may be greatly inflated by publication bias, small numbers of estimates, and low power. Indeed, simulations indicate the informational value of the present deception literature is quite low, such it is not possible to determine whether any given effect is real or a false positive. I warn against the hazards of relying on potentially illusory cues to deception and offer some recommendations for improving the state of the science of deception.
Revisiting and Extending a Response Latency Measure of Inclusion of the Other in the Self
Authors: Zickfeld Janis , Schubert Thomas W.
Published: July 2018

Although the concept of inclusion of the other in the self (IOS) has been successfully assessed with explicit self-report measures implicit procedures have been neglected in past literature. The present article explores the validity of such an implicit measure by proposing several extensions and adaptions. Based on the me/not-me response latency task originally conceptualized by Aron, Aron, Tudor and Nelson (1991) we addressed methodological problems by proposing changes in material, calculation of indices and implemented the task in an online environment. We also addressed earlier problems with statistical power and proposed a more powerful way of statistical analyses using mixed models. The me/not-me task is based on the idea that higher overlap between self and other traits results in faster response times of characterizing such a trait as descriptive of the self. This relationship should be observed for close others but not for non-close others. In a sample of 339 US American adults we experimentally manipulated the nature of the target (close vs. distant) and participants engaged in the adapted me/not-me paradigm. Results indicated that trait match had a stronger negative effect on response times for participants in the close condition. The effect was also stronger for participants rating the target higher on the IOS self-report scale. We also provided convergent validity of the me/not-me procedure with other constructs ostensibly measuring interpersonal closeness. Future applications and possible limitations are discussed.
Model Choices in Observational Media Effects Research: A Systematic Review and Validation

Published: July 2018

Media effects research has produced mixed findings about the size and direction of the relationship between media consumption and public attitudes (e.g., Bartels, 1993). We investigate the extent to which model choices contribute to these inconsistent findings. Taking a comparative approach, we first review the use of different models in contemporary studies and their main findings. In order to extend and validate this review, we consider the implications for national election studies attempting to measure media effects in election campaigns and recreate these models with the British Election Study 2005-10 panel data. We compare the direction and size of effects of media content on attitude change across: between-subjects, within- elections models, in which the effects of individual-level variance in media exposure and content are assessed; within-subjects, within-elections models, which compare the effects of variance in media content for the same individual; and within-subjects, between-elections models that allow us to analyze the links between media content and exposure with attitude change over time. Our review shows some notable differences between models in terms of significance of effects (but not effect sizes). We corroborate this finding in the British campaign analysis. We conclude that to check the robustness of claims of media effects in observational data, where possible researchers should examine different model choices when evaluating media effects.

Are Immigration Policy Preferences Based on Accurate Stereotypes?
Authors: Kirkegaard Emil O. W. , Carl Noah , Bjerrekær Julius Daugbjerg
Published: July 2018

Stereotypes about 32 country-of-origin groups were measured using an approximately representative survey of the Danish population (n = 476 after quality control). Participants were asked to estimate each group’s net fiscal contribution in Denmark. These estimates were then compared to the actual net fiscal contributions for the 32 groups, taken from a recent study by the Danish Ministry of Finance. Syria was an outlier, and was excluded from our analyses (although doing so made little difference to the results). Stereotypes were found to be highly accurate, both at the aggregate level (r = .85) and at the individual level (median r = .65). Interestingly, participants over- rather than under-estimated the net fiscal contributions of groups from countries with a higher percentage of Muslims. Indeed, this was true at both the aggregate and individual levels (r = -.30 and median r = -.55, respectively). Participants were also asked to say how many immigrants from each group should be admitted to Denmark. There was an extremely strong correlation between participants’ aggregate immigration policy preferences and their estimates of the 32 groups’ fiscal contributions (r = .98), suggesting that their preferences partly reflect accurate stereotypes.

The developments of information technology and transport is increasing so as to make the boundaries between countries increasingly apparent. Traffic is more easily accessible. More open the traffic between countries in the globalization era also led the increasing of mobility of goods and people between one country to another country. The opening track between countries are not only used for business necessities of life, but also the movement of people from one country to another. The flow of human movement, basically is the goal to find the solution of all the problems that they find in the place of themselves. The movement of human movement is a gap for the occurrence of crime. In the context of transnational crime, human trafficking is a form of transnational organized crime that potentially cause the kinds of implications for other crimes. Human smuggling can be a weak dose of a country’s legal system in dealing with covert motivation of the imigiran to make the country as a state intermediary for the crime. Other crimes may arise due to the omission of the practice of human trafficking, such as conventional crimes (fraud, rape, murder, and theft), shipping, human trafficking, money laundering, banking crimes and terrorism.
Tinnitus and Auditory Perception After a History of Noise Exposure: Relationship to Auditory Brainstem Response Measures
Authors: Bramhall Naomi
Published: July 2018

ObjectivesDetermine whether auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave I amplitude is associated with measures of auditory perception in young people with normal distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and varying levels of noise exposure history.DesignTinnitus, loudness tolerance, and speech perception ability were measured in 31 young military Veterans and 43 non-Veterans (19-35 years of age) with normal pure tone thresholds and DPOAEs. Speech perception was evaluated in quiet using NU-6 word lists and in background noise using the words in noise (WIN) test. Loudness discomfort levels were measured using 1, 3, 4, and 6 kHz pulsed pure tones. DPOAEs and ABRs were collected in each participant to assess outer hair cell (OHC) and auditory nerve function. ResultsThe probability of reporting tinnitus in this sample increased by a factor of 2.0 per 0.1 µV decrease in ABR wave I amplitude (90% Bayesian confidence interval = 1.2 to 4.2) for males and by a factor of 2.2 (90% confidence interval = 1.1 to 5.1) for females after adjusting for sex and DPOAE level. No apparent relationship was found between wave I amplitude and either loudness tolerance or speech perception in quiet or noise.ConclusionsReduced ABR wave I amplitude was associated with a markedly increased risk of tinnitus, even after adjusting for DPOAEs and sex. In contrast, wave III and V amplitudes had little effect on tinnitus risk. This suggests that changes in peripheral input at the level of the inner hair cell (IHC) or auditory nerve may lead to increases in central gain that give rise to the perception of tinnitus. Although the extent of synaptopathy in the study participants cannot be measured directly, these findings are consistent with the prediction that tinnitus may be a perceptual consequence of cochlear synaptopathy.

Spatially-encouraged spectral clustering: a technique for blending map typologies and regionalization
Authors: Wolf Levi John
Published: July 2018

Clustering is a central concern in geographic data science and reflect a large, ongoing domain of research. In applied problems, it is often challenging to balance the two notions of coherence in spatial clustering problems: that of "feature" coherence, where detected clusters are internally homogeneous, and "spatial'" coherence, where detected clusters can be interpreted to represent a geographical place. While recent work has aimed to relax this tension, progress in spectral clustering methods, developed for machine learning and image segmentation, provide a useful framework to do this. This paper shows how spatial and feature coherence can be balanced using kernel combination in spectral clustering. This ensures the preservation of geographical constraints (like contiguity or compactness) while also providing the ability to relax these constraints linearly. Further, some kinds of kernel combination methods have significantly different behavior and meaning from another commonly-used method to balance objectives: convex combination. Altogether, spatially-encouraged spectral clustering is proposed as a novel spatial analysis method that bridges regionalization and spatial clustering.
How Emotions Enter into Decision Making: A Novel Categorization of Types of Emotions
Authors: Efendic Emir
Published: July 2018

Research in how emotions impact decision making is growing and the corresponding literature is often organized around types of emotions. These types can be thought of as labels that categorize how emotions enter into decision making. Examples include “expected”, “integral”, or “incidental” emotions. Taking a closer look at several of these categorizations however, one is confronted with discord and a considerable number of inconsistencies in naming conventions, definitions, scope of the categorizations, as well as a lack of clear approach to how emotions might enter into decision making. Given the ubiquity of these categorizations, in this paper, we conduct a review of types of emotions, we address some of the inconsistencies, and we present a new way of categorizing how emotions enter into decision making – one where emotions are categorized in relation to the decision and affective components of the decision making process. We discuss how this new categorization deals with the identified inconsistencies and ways in which it can be conducive to developing novel theoretical and empirical investigations in how emotions impact decision making.
Creativity and mood disorders: Both deviances?
Authors: LeBel Etienne P.
Published: July 2018

In summary, a psychoanalytical perspective which focused on ego source regression has been presented. In the behavioural viewpoint, the adaptive function of mood swings and how one may learn to utilize their creativity to deal with life situations has been presented. Biologically, different proposed models put forth included Post’s neural network hyperactivity model and Richards et al.’s genetic data showing that relatives of bipolar and cyclothymic individuals show the greatest creativity. The first part of this paper’s thesis presented evidence that mood disorders facilitate creativity. Hypomanic states have been shown to heighten creativity in both eminent and everyday creativity. Evidence for depression is mixed; some evidence shows that it interferes with creativity while other evidence shows that depression facilitates creativity, especially in the low states of manic depression. Some think that both hypomanic and depression facilitate creativity in that they both reduce social inhibitions. The second part of this paper’s thesis presented evidence that creativity can put individuals at risk for certain mood disorders. Ludwig’s data suggests that creative professions especially playwrights and prose writers are at a significant risk to develop a mood disorder. Post’s biological data represents good evidence that creativity is paralleled to mental disturbances. Rothenberg suggests that the paradoxical thinking involved in creative processes may lead to mood disorders. A counter argument is presented that creativity is actually essential for good mental health. In conclusion, it is evident that both sides of the debate are strongly supported: mood disorders facilitate creativity and creative individuals are at an increased risk to develop certain mood disorders.
Age differences in tactile pattern recognition at the fingertip
Authors: Manning Hélène , Tremblay FranÇois
Published: July 2018

Young (21-26 years, n=20) and Old (55-86 years, n=25) participants were tested for their ability to recognize raised letters (6-mm high, 1-mm relief) by touch. Spatial resolution thresholds were also measured with grating domes to derive an index of the degree of afferent innervation at the fingertip. Letter recognition in the young group was very consistent and highly accurate (mean, 86% correct), contrasting with the performance of the old group, which was more variable and comparatively low in accuracy (mean, 53% correct). In both groups, spatial resolution thresholds accounted for a substantial portion of the variance in the performance, suggesting a strong link between age-dependant variations in tactile innervation and recognition accuracy. The patterns of errors in the old group showed that an inability to encode internal elements specific to certain letters was at the source of most confusion among letters. Whether this inability reflected only deficient peripheral encoding mechanisms or some other alterations at the central level is discussed.

Multiple modalities represent different aspects by whichinformation is conveyed by a data source. Modern day social media platforms are one of the primary sources of multimodal data, where users use different modes of expression by posting textual as well as multimedia content such as images and videos for sharing information. Multimodal information embedded in such posts could be useful in predicting their popularity. To the best of our knowledge, no such multimodal dataset exists for the prediction of social media photos. In this work, we propose a multimodal dataset consisiting of content, context, and social information for popularity prediction. Specifically, we augment the SMPT1 dataset for social media prediction in ACM Multimedia grand challenge 2017 with image content, titles, descriptions, and tags. Next, in this paper, we propose a multimodal approach which exploits visual features (i.e., content information), textual features (i.e., contextual information), and social features (e.g., average views and group counts) to predict popularity of social media photos in terms of view counts. Experimental results confirm that despite our multimodalapproach uses the half of the training dataset from SMP-T1, it achieves comparable performance with that of state-of-the-art.
PENGGUNAAN FITUR QUIS EDMODO UNTUK MENGUKUR KEMAMPUAN KOGNITIF MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN GEOGRAFI PADA MATA KULIAH 1) GEOGRAFI HEWAN DAN TUMBUHAN

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada mahasiswa semester gazal tahun ajaran 2014/2015. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penggunaan fitur quis Edmodo dalam mengukur kemampuan kognitif mahasiswa pendidikan Geografi pada mata kuliah Geografi Hewan dan Tumbuhan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif, yakni untuk mendeskripsikan/menjelaskan penggunaan fitur quis Edmodo untuk mengukur kemampuan kognitif mahasiswa pendidikan Geografi yang mengikuti mata kuliah Geografi Hewan dan Tumbuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: a) 89% mahasiswa dapat terhubung koneksi internet dengan lancar (signal excelent);b) mahasiwa dapat melakukan registrasi Edmodo dengan sangat baik dengan persentase 86% ; c) mahasiswa dapat melakukan pengaturan di aplikasi Edmodo dikategorikan dengan baik dengan persentase 80% diantaranya mahasiswa dapat mengubah/ memasang foto profil dengan menggunakan ikon yang telah disediakan, mengubah informasi pribadi untuk menambahkan atau mengubah nama beserta alamat email dan mengubah kata sandi (password); d) mahasiswa dapat mengerjakan soal-soal di fitur Edmodo dengan sangat baik dengan persentase 84%. Kemudian kemampuan kognitif mahasiswa setelah mengerjakan soal-soal, nilai yang diperoleh dari keseluruhan kelas dengan rata-rata nilai kelas adalah 70 dikelas V A, 80 dikelas V B dan 84 dikelas V C. Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan fitur quis Edmodo dapat digunakan mahasiswa dengan sangat baik meskipun ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan, yaitu jaringan internet yang digunakan, kecepatan internet, dan penggunaan internet secara bersamaan pada satu website yang sama sehingga tidak mempengaruhi koneksi internet saat masuk/login aplikasi Edmodo dan saat mengerjakan soal-soal di fitur quis Edmodo.
Karakterisasi Kurva Resesi Aliran Pada Beberapa Mataair Karst

Published: July 2018

Penelitian ini dilakukan pada dua mataair yang terletak pada dua akuifer karst, yaituMataair Kakap yang terletak di kawasan karst Gunungsewu dan MataairSumbersemen yang terletak di kawasan karst Rembang. Penelitian tahun ke-1 inimempunyai tujuan untuk (1) mendefinisikan sifat akuifer dalam melepaskankomponen-komponen alirannya, dan mengetahui (2) bagaimana sifat temporalpersediaan aliran dasarnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survai yang bersifatinduktif. Untuk mengetahui karakteristik akuifer dalam melepaskan komponenalirannya, dua alat pencatat fluktuasi muka air SBT dipasang di Mataair Kakap danmataair Sumbersemen. Pengukuran debit aliran dilakukan untuk memperoleh kurvahubungan debit dan tinggi muka air. Kemudian, dilakukan pemisahan aliran dasardengan cara digital filtering untuk menghitung besarnya aliran dasar setelahsebelumnya dihitung nilai konstanta resesi aliran diffuse, fissure, dan conduitnya.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Mataair Kakap mempunyai tiga tipe aliran yaitudiffuse, fissure, dan conduit. Terkait aliran dasar/diffuse/base flow, mataair inimelepaskan komponen diffuse lebih lambat dari pada akuifer karst di MataairSumbersemen. Saat musim hujan, Mataair Kakap merespon aliran conduit daridaerah tangkapan dengan cepat, meskipun masih lebih lambat dibanding yangdijumpai di Mataaair Sumbersemen. Dari beberapa hal tersebut dapat disimpulkanbahwa selain memiliki aliran diffuse yang dominan sepanjang tahun (aliran dasarbulanan hampir mencapai nilai 80%), akuifer di Mataair Kakap telah memiliki jaringanlorong conduit yang berkembang secara lanjut (aliran dasar saat periode banjirkurang dari 40%). Mataair Sumbersemen hanya memiliki satu tipe aliran dominanyang diimbuh dari akuifer yaitu tipe aliran diffuse (lambat). Saat musim hujan, responsangat cepat terhadap hujan kemungkinan berasal dari aliran permukaan (bukan darisimpanan conduit). Hal ini dibuktinya dengan sangat kecilnya aliran dasar saatperiode banjir dengan nilai Tp (time to peak) dan Tb (time to baseflow) yang sangatsingkat. Selain itu, simpanan aliran dasar yang sangat tinggi sepanjang tahun (99%),menunjukkan bahwa kemungkinan aliran dasar berasal dari airtanah dalam danbukan semata-mata dari lorong diffuse.Kata kunci: akuifer karst, diffuse, fissure, conduit, aliran dasar
Testing one or multiple: How beliefs about sparsity affect causal experimentation
Authors: Coenen Anna , Ruggeri Azzurra , Bramley Neil R , Gureckis Todd Matthew
Published: July 2018

What is the best way of discovering the underlying structure of a causal system composed of multiple variables? One prominent idea is that learners should manipulate each candidate variable in isolation to avoid confounds (sometimes known as the “Control of Variables” or CV strategy). We demonstrate that CV is not always the most efficient method for learning. Using an optimal actor model which aims to minimize the average number of tests, we show that when a causal system is sparse (i.e., when the outcome of interest has few or even just one actual cause among the candidate variables) it is more efficient to test multiple variables at once. Across a series of behavioral experiments, we then show that people are sensitive to causal sparsity and adapt their strategies accordingly. When interacting with a non-sparse causal system (high proportion of actual causes among candidate variables), they use a CV strategy, changing one variable at a time. When interacting with a sparse causal system they are more likely to test multiple variables at once. However, we also find that people sometimes use a CV strategy even when a system is sparse.

The Russian natural gas industry is the world's largest producer and transporter of natural gas. This paper identifies the benefits for Serbia as transient country to European Union for Russian natural gas through South Stream gas-line in the current political context of implementation of gas agreement. On the other hand, according to the Agreement on Stabilization and Integration to European Union, Serbia is obligatory to implement reforms in energy sector and its energy policy must be in accordance with the European Union policy. Republic of Serbia has produced and consumed natural gas domestically since 1952, but has always been net importer. Strategy of Energy Development in Serbia and especially, National Action Plan for the gasification on the territory of Republic of Serbia dedicated special attention to gas economy development in respect with expected contribution in efficient energy use and environmental policy protection in the country.

Land procurement is the act of the government to realize the availability of land to be used in various interests for development as the public interest. Limitations of land owned by the government takes the land derived from the community to facilitate the course of development for the public interest. The existence of the land needs to be used by the government in carrying out development activities, but in its implementation should not be detrimental to the rights of the landowners. Therefore, for the government which needs the land can not arbitrarily to take the land belonging to the community/the holder of the right to the land which area is affected by development for the public interest. Therefore, the state should provide guarantee and legal protection to the holder of the land in land procurement activity for public interest. So that the implementation of land procurement will be able to provide a sense of justice for the community affected by the development and provide security to the life of the community.
