Published: February 2021

The reflections on teacher training must be articulated with themes that go through the process of building teacher researchers. In our degree in History in IFG campus Goiânia, we have endeavored to constitute practices that are capable of collaborating with the construction of the teaching identity linked to research. In this sense, the research presented here demonstrates the importance of the articulation between academic research and the professional field for the construction of teachers. We propose, in this work, to present an accentuated scope of reflections from the researchers who completed their training process at the institution as well as from the researchers (students and professor) who still remain at the institution. The themes and space-time cuts presented here have a great variety. They go from the Ancient world to the Modern Age, go through the History of medicine and the History of education, treat food as medicament and vomit as a therapeutic practice. Anyway, it is a work that has placed everyone (teacher, undergraduate and graduate students) to actively exercise the relationship between theory, research and professional teaching practice.

Authors: Rodriguez Micaela , Osborn Tom L , Gan Jenny , Weisz John R. , Bellet Benjamin W.
Published: February 2021

Objective: Loneliness is associated with negative mental health outcomes and is particularly common among adolescents. Yet, little is known about the dynamics of adolescent loneliness in non-Western, low-income nations. Accordingly, we estimated the severity of loneliness in a sample of Kenyan adolescents and used mixed-effects regression modelling to determine the socio-cultural factors associated with loneliness. We also used network analysis to examine the associations between loneliness, depression, and anxiety at the symptom-level. Method: We analyzed data from a large sample (N = 2,192) of school-attending Kenyan adolescents aged 1219 (58.3% Female, 41.7% Male). Standardized measures of loneliness (ULS-8), depression (PHQ-8), and anxiety (GAD-7) were used. Results: Our mixed-effects model revealed that female and lower-income adolescents felt lonelier. The perception of feeling alone emerged as the aspect of loneliness most strongly linked to depression and anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: Our findings establish an estimate of loneliness levels in Kenyan adolescents, and reveal sociocultural factors associated with loneliness. We found that perceptions of isolation more strongly linked loneliness to psychopathology than did objective measures of isolation or preferences for social contact. Finally, we identify specific aspects of loneliness that could prove to be treatment targets for youth psychopathology; however, further research is needed. Limitations, future directions, and clinical implications are discussed.

Published: February 2021

The social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic exerts lasing impacts on people’s mental health. However, whether and how people’s pre-existing positive social relationships can serve as stable reserves to alleviate people psychological distress following the disaster remains unknown. To address the question, the current study examined whether pre-pandemic relationship satisfaction would predict post-pandemic COVID-19 anxiety through middle-pandemic perceived social support and/or gratitude using four-wave data in China (N = 222, 54.50% female, Mage = 31.53, SD = 8.17). Results showed that people’s COVID-19 anxiety decreased from the peak to the trough pandemic stage; perceived social support increased markedly from the pre-pandemic to the peak and remained stable afterwards, while relationship satisfaction remained unchanged throughout. Further, it was middle-pandemic perceived social support, but not gratitude, mediated the association between pre-pandemic relationship satisfaction and post-pandemic COVID-19 anxiety, indicating perceived social support played a more crucial role than gratitude in this process. Last, it is suggested to distinguish perceived social support from gratitude as two different components of social interactions.

Authors: Khanal Peshal
Published: February 2021

As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sphere of human life and the schools across the country are closed due to the risk of spreading the virus, online teaching has become a major alternative pedagogical strategy among the private schools in particular. This article reports a study that explores how private school teachers perceive and adopt technological learning, how they transfer their technological knowledge and skills into the online classroom and how they self-assess their practices. This is done through a phenomenological study focusing on the meaning the participants make from their lived experience on ‘technological learning and application’ in the face of the pandemic. The study found that dealing with uncertainty and fear of the COVID-19 and the additional pressure for doing online teaching amidst the crisis evoked frustration and anguish among the teachers. Despite a number of challenges and crisis, teachers, however, learn to deal with the technological challenges and manage to run the class through virtual mode. Nevertheless, they assess the online delivery is not effective due to the various constraints. The study suggests for ensuring the access of ICT resources and facilities to both teachers and students, sufficient training to the both groups and digitalize curricular materials for the effective implementation of virtual learning.

Authors: Tat Lim Yong
Published: February 2021

Lightweight materials, such as polystyrene, can be embedded in reinforced concrete (RC) beams to reduce its weight. However, this may, to some extent, affect the performance of the structure. This research investigates the behaviour of the lightweight beams under load and determines the best position of polystyrene blocks in beams. Nine specimens with a size of 175 mm x 300 mm x 1600 mm were tested under four-point load test. The number and position of polystyrene blocks in the beams were varied. The specimens were evaluated for effectiveness in terms of effective strength to weight ratio (s-w ratio). The lightweight beam was effective when the polystyrene blocks were placed at the neutral and tensile region, offering an s-w ratio of greater than 1. The beam lost 3.8% strength with 8.4% reduction of weight.
Heat Flux Condensation on Coconut Shell Activated Charcoal Porous Media
Authors: Praswanto Djoko Hari , Asroni Mochtar , Priyasmanu Thomas , Prihatmi Tutut Nani
Published: February 2021

One way to keep the air humidity is by increasing the heat transfer with the porous media model. Increasing heat transfer depends on the value of the heat flux on the porous media. The heat flux value can be determined by inserting the porous media into the test section and then flow the vapor. The amount of heat absorbed is influenced by the large diameter of the porous on the media used. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize coconut shell charcoal by activating the charcoal. The purpose of activating coconut shell charcoal is to enlarge the pores so that it absorbs heat better than charcoal that has not been activated. The research method used is an experimental method and compares the results of research with previous studies. The porous media was vaporized for 60 minutes with a vapor temperature of 30 °C, while the vapor speed was varied, namely 1 m/s, 2m/s and 3 m/s. From the research results, that by using coconut shell activated charcoal, the heat flux value was higher than using coconut shell charcoal media. This is because the pore size in activated charcoal is larger and more numerous than charcoal that has not been activated so that it absorbs more heat. In addition, the greater the vapor speed, the higher the heat flux, because in the test section more vapor enters than vapor that comes out so that the porous media has a long time to absorb heat in the vapor. The heat transfer that occurs in porous media includes forced convection heat transfer because it has a value of Gr/Re2 < 1.

Authors: Afeef Mustafa , Ali Nazim , Khan Adnan
Published: February 2021

Movements in a stock market index may safely be considered one of the mostwatched out phenomena by investors in almost every economy. One method to forecast the index is to study all those external factors that directly affect it. Another way, however, is to base ones predictions on the past behavior of the variable of interest. This paper has employed the method described latter and has, therefore, made use of the ARIMA modeling. In this connection, the daily stock market index data of the Karachi Stock Exchange 100 index was taken for twenty years from 1997 to 2017 which translated into 4940 observations. The study revealed that the model was decently efficient in forecasting the KSE 100 Index, though only for the short-range. The upshot of this study may be utilized specifically by short term investors in deciding on when, and when not, to invest in the stock market.

Published: February 2021

In this paper, an enhanced version of the emperor penguin optimization algorithm is proposed for solving dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem incorporating renewable energy sources and microgrid. Dynamic economic load dispatch optimally shares the power on an hourly basis for a day among the committed generating units to satisfy the feasible load demand. Emission of pollutants from the combustion fossil fuel and gradual depletion of fossil fuel encourages the usage of renewable energy sources. Implementation of renewable energy sources with the reinforcement of green energy transforms the fossil fuel-based plant into a hybrid generating plant. The increase in power production with the increase in electricity demand implicates challenges for economical operation. The proposed algorithm is applied to the DED problem for fossil fuel based and renewable energy system to find economic schedule of generated power among the committed generating units. The proposed optimization algorithm is inspired by the huddling behavior of the emperor penguin. The exploration strategy is enhanced by adapting oppositional based learning. Chaotic mapping is used to maintain a proper balance between exploration and exploitation in the entire search space, which minimizes the cost of generation in the power system.

It is a challenge for existing artificial intelligence algorithms to deal with incomplete information of computer tactical wargames in military research, and one effective method is to take advantage of game replays based on data mining or supervised learning. However, the open source datasets of wargame replays are extremely rare, which obstruct the development of research on computer wargames. In this paper, a data set of wargame replays is opened for predicting algorithm on the condition of incomplete information, to be specific, we propose the dataset processing method for deep learning and an network model for enemy locations predicting. We first introduce the criteria and methods of data preprocessing, parsing and feature extraction, then the training set and test set for deep learning are predefined. Furthermore, we have designed a newly specific network model for enemy locations predicting, including multi-head input, multi-head output, CNN and GRU layers to deal with the multi-agent and long-term memory problems. The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves good performance of 84.9% on top-50 accuracy. Finally, we open source the data set and methods on https://github.com/daman043/AAGWS-Wargame-master.

Facial emotion recognition system (FERS) recognize the person’s emotions based on various image processing stages including feature extraction as one of the major processing steps. In this study, we presented a hybrid approach for recognizing facial expressions by performing the feature level fusion of a local and a global feature descriptor that is classified by a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Histogram of oriented gradients (HoG) is selected for the extraction of global facial features and local intensity order pattern (LIOP) to extract the local features. As HoG is a shape-based descriptor, with the help of edge information, it can extract the deformations caused in facial muscles due to changing emotions. On the contrary, LIOP works based on the information of pixels intensity order and is invariant to change in image viewpoint, illumination conditions, JPEG compression, and image blurring as well. Thus both the descriptors proved useful to recognize the emotions effectively in the images captured in both constrained and realistic scenarios. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated based on the lab-constrained datasets including CK+, TFEID, JAFFE as well as on realistic datasets including SFEW, RaF, and FER-2013 dataset. The optimal recognition accuracy of 99.8%, 98.2%, 93.5%, 78.1%, 63.0%, 56.0% achieved respectively for CK+, JAFFE, TFEID, RaF, FER-2013 and SFEW datasets respectively.
Confident sequence learning: A sequence class-label noise filtering technique to improve scene digit recognition
Authors: Liu Haiqing , Li Daoxing , Li Yuancheng
Published: February 2021

Reading digits from natural images is a challenging computer vision task central to a variety of emerging applications. However, the increased scalability and complexity of datasets or complex applications bring about inevitable label noise. Because the label noise in the scene digit recognition dataset is sequence-like, most existing methods cannot deal with label noise in scene digit recognition. We propose a novel sequence class-label noise filter called Confident Sequence Learning. Confident Sequence Learning consists of two critical parts: the sequence-like confidence segmentation algorithm and the Confident Learning method. The sequence-like confidence segmentation algorithms slice the sequence-like labels and the sequence-like predicted probabilities, reorganize them in the form of the independent stochastic process and the white noise process. The Confident Learning method estimates the joint distribution between observed labels and latent labels using the segmented labels and probabilities. The TRDG dataset and SVHN dataset experiments showed that the confident sequence learning could find label errors with high accuracy and significantly improve the VGG-Attn and the TPS-ResNet-Attn model’s performance in the presence of synthetic sequence class-label noise.
A hybrid model based on PROMETHEE and PLTSs for the assessment of public participation in community meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation
Authors: Li Chenliang , Yu Xiaobing
Published: February 2021

Communities are the fundamental units of society, and community-based disaster management is the foundation of societal disaster management systems. It is important to implement disaster prevention and mobilize all residents in the community to participate in preparedness activities. However, people’s attitudes and understanding of these issues are often ambiguous because meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation (MDPM) is complex. A hybrid model based on probabilistic term sets (PLTSs) and PROMETHEE method is put forward to solve this problem. To solve the problem from the view of big data, the experimental data are from Baidu’s disaster prevention and mitigation questionnaires. The data of these questionnaires are aggregated through PLTSs. Then, the PROMETHEE method is used to learn about the public’s understanding of community meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation (CMDPM) information and their willingness to participate in activities. The results indicate that communities in East, Northwest, Southwest, and North China have a higher willingness to join volunteer services. The proposed model makes it more convenient for decision-makers (DMs) to describe problems by PLTSs and is more appropriate for individuals’ understanding and communication.

Except for two pantropical species (Edwards 1979), the jumping spider most frequently encountered in Florida is Phidippus regius C.L. Koch. This species is aptly named in terms of its size, as it is the largest jumping spider in eastern North America. The species is found in the southeastern U.S., the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas, but is most common in peninsular Florida. This document is EENY-152 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 223), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
