The Spaces of Black Experimental Poetry
Authors: Müller Timo
Published: January 2020

This chapter reads black experimental poetry of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries through the lens of the sonnet. While scholars such as Aldon Nielsen and Anthony Reed have stressed the temporal dimension of this poetry, the popularity of the sonnet among black experimental poets draws attention to the spatial dimension. In close readings of sonnet sequences by Ed Roberson, Wanda Coleman, Rita Dove, G. E. Patterson, and Wanda Phipps, the chapter shows how these poets use techniques such as seriality and fragmentation to explore the interstices of contemporary discourses about blackness, question conventionalized meanings, and envision a sphere of semantic openness that overcomes racial stereotypes and limiting ascriptions.
Introduction
Authors: Horigan Kate Parker
Published: January 2020

This chapter begins with a personal narrative of Katrina, positioning the author as a survivor-ethnographer, and describes the book’s origins in Surviving Katrina and Rita in Houston, a survivor-centered documentation project. The chapter explains how theoretical approaches to personal narrative, social trauma, and public memory influence the model put forth here of “public disaster,” or the public dimensions of narrating and remembering large-scale disasters. It describes the appeals and challenges of circulating personal narratives, and makes the case that, adapted in a variety of genres, those narratives perpetuate negative stereotypes. Because scholars in folklore and related fields are equipped to study vernacular responses to tragedy, employ methods of discourse analysis, and understand contextualization of narratives, they can show how survivors integrate themselves into processes of narration and commemoration, and advocate for such integration in future publication and memorialization. The introduction concludes with a chapter summary.
The Influence of Early Twentieth-Century Technology
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

The superior war-making technology of the Western colonial powers—the steam-driven warship and cannon—made the difference between China prevailing and its defeat during the Opium Wars. It resulted in the colonial powers controlling Shanghai, tantamount to controlling China. In turn, the colonial powers brought their culture with them to Shanghai, which included jazz in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Within a couple of decades, jazz became not only the music of Shanghai but was global. This chapter asks how jazz traveled halfway around the world to China (and in the other direction, to Europe) so quickly? And how did the non-American musicians in Shanghai (Russians, Filipinos, and Chinese) learn to play the music for dance hall purposes? Transportation and communications technologies of the early twentieth century—the steamship, the locomotive, the gramophone, and early film—also were major influences in bringing jazz to China's shores.
International Jazz Musicians Flock to Shanghai: 1920s–1930s
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses the presence of foreign jazz musicians in China between the 1920s and the 1930s. According to bassist Da Ren Zheng, the rise of the dance halls led to the prominence of a large number of foreign, i.e., Western, jazz musicians. There were around fifty to sixty establishments in total. All these dance halls needed to hire jazz bands to accompany social dances, but at that time in Shanghai there were almost no Chinese jazz musicians; hence, a great number of foreign jazz musicians were contracted to play in Shanghai. The large-scale dance hall jazz bands were made up of around ten to fifteen people, and even small-size dance halls had five or six members. In a few years, more than 500 foreign musicians had surged into the Shanghai concessions. This huge contingent played jazz music day and night so that the entertainment life of Shanghai people was influenced unconsciously.
The Formation of All-Chinese Jazz Bands
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

Shanghai-based, double-bass player Da Ren Zheng published a recollection of the jazz scene in Shanghai before and right after World War II, and during Mao Zedong's era. This chapter presents his description of the evolutionary formation of all-Chinese jazz bands in this period. The details provided by his narration are not only informative, but also highly credible if for no other reason than all other descriptions of this period with respect to jazz and the dance halls are told by non-indigenous Chinese writers, such as Andrew F. Jones in Yellow Music and Andrew David Field in Shanghai's Dancing World. Da Ren Zheng, while not an academic, provides detailed descriptions that have the strong ring of authenticity. He was in his late twenties and early thirties when these events took place. As he was there observing these events unfold, his narration is first person, not based on secondary or tertiary sources.
The Japanese Invasion
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

During World War II, the Japanese constructed prisoner of war camps in fifteen countries, including China. These camps numbered approximately 240. The Japanese—whose attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 brought the United States into World War II— saw their global role as manifest destiny, particularly with respect to China. Militarist Japan's attempt to conquer China began by seizing Manchuria in 1931 and became a full-fledged invasion from 1937 [when they attacked Shanghai] to 1945. This chapters shows that American jazz musicians—all of whom were playing in Shanghai—were not immune to the Japanese invasion and occupation. Some landed in internment camps in China and the Philippines.
Jazz and Individual Freedom of Expression
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

This chapter considers the suppression of jazz and all forms of Western culture by Mao's policies during his 27-year tenure as master of China (he took over in 1949, and died on September 9, 1976). These provide a chilling backdrop and prelude for the more productive changes China's successive leaders have promulgated since his demise. During Mao's tenure, millions of Chinese died in one way or another. From 1958 to 1960, some 20 to 30 million people lost their lives through malnutrition and famine because of the policies imposed upon them by the Chinese Communist Party. Following his death in 1976, a slow, yet inexorable movement toward Western entrepreneurialism emerged, and with it the reemergence of jazz, especially in Shanghai, and a nascent individual freedom of expression supported explicitly and implicitly by China's new leadership.
Martin Fleischer, Godfather of Jazz, and Liu Yuan, So-Called Father of Jazz in Early Post-Mao Beijing
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

This chapter considers the influence of Germans on the evolution of jazz in China. This historical thread begins with the involvement of German military during the Opium Wars of the nineteenth century. And as previous chapters on the “influence of technology” have indicated, Germans are prominent—with the evolution of the phonograph and audiotape and the jet plane. With a significant German population resident in China for one reason or another it was almost inevitable that a German would intersect with China's nascent cadre of indigenous musicians interested in jazz. In Beijing, that person was Martin Fleischer, former Cultural Attaché to the German Embassy, Beijing.

Shanghai’s Jazz Venues
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses jazz venues in Shanghai. The historical presence of jazz in Shanghai as the music of the city, from the late 1910s and even throughout the Japanese invasion, continues to this day. Even though Mao suppressed anything Western within a few years of his defeat of the Nationalists in 1949, his passing in 1976 and the subsequent opening up of China to the world in the late 1970s spurred the rejuvenation of jazz in the city. By the mid-2000s, one could find numerous venues presenting jazz in Shanghai. Some of the venues are housed in the hotels, such as the Shanghai Hilton, the George V, and the Portman Ritz-Carlton Bar. The most historic of the hotel jazz venues is the Peace Hotel Jazz Bar on the Bund.
Jazz Education in China
Authors: Marlow Eugene
Published: January 2020

This chapter first discusses music education in China. The Shanghai Conservatory (Shanghai) and the Central Conservatory (Beijing) are the two dominant music conservatories in China. Changes in music education takes three forms: (1) more Western-style music education; (2) a much greater connection, culturally and musically, to the outside world; and (3) the emergence of music education in jazz at the college level. The chapter then turns to the evolution of jazz education, which has occurred through various phases since its first appearance in Shanghai in the 1920s. But just like the rest of the world, jazz education ranges from the highly informal (listening, experimentation, self-teaching) to the highly formal, e.g., studying at the University of Beijing or the Midi School in Beijing, or the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, or the JZ Club School in Shanghai, or the jazz program established at Ningbo University.
Race, Creolization, Globalization, and Public Policy in Trinidad
Authors: Ramsaran Dave , Lewis Linden F.
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses the nexus between globalization, racial identity, and public policy in Trinidad. Specifically, it analyzes how racial identity can be used to contest public policies that are enacted to facilitate the globalization process. In the case of Trinidad, the foundation of racial identity was established in the colonial state with its race, class, and color hierarchy. Racial groupings were defined within this framework vis-à-vis other groups in society, and power was an essential element with respect to how those positions evolved. In a society such as Trinidad's, where race has been a key organizing factor in the distribution of state power, it now becomes the principal arena where the negative effects of globalization are hashed out. Some have suggested that the impact of globalization can intensify the problems inherent to a system that uses race as an organizing principle.
“Dig Dutty”
Authors: Ramsaran Dave , Lewis Linden F.
Published: January 2020

This chapter examines the Matikor or “Dig Dutty” ritual in Guyana and Trinidad. The Dig Dutty/Matikor ritual is an important part of Hindu ethnic identity. It is central to the story of historical displacement and reterritorialization, and it is a testimony to the tenacity of a people for whom such practices have long been seen, by many in the Guyanese and Trinidadian communities at large, as backward, pagan, and even a bit coarse. In the face of modernization, the Matikor/Dig Dutty ritual has shown remarkable resilience. However, while modernity has not rendered Matikor/Dig Dutty irrelevant, the process of creolization has certainly modified some of the ritual's specific practices. Nonetheless, given its endurance as a symbolic practice, Matikor/Dig Dutty demands much more scholarly attention than it has received to date.
The “New Indian Man”
Authors: Ramsaran Dave , Lewis Linden F.
Published: January 2020

This chapter explores changing notions of masculinity among Indo-Trinidadian males as the processes of globalization and modernization intensify in Trinidad. Indo-Trinidadian men are redefining their own perceptions of masculinity and how it is portrayed and exhibited. Their redefinition, however, is contradictory. At times, it is in opposition to African Trinidadian masculinity, while at other times it appropriates some dimensions of that same masculinity. Sometimes it challenges the traditional Indo-Trinidadian patriarchy, and sometimes it reinforces certain dimensions of the same traditional patriarchy. The chapter then considers a series of individual and focus-group interviews with Indo-Trinidadian men in southern and central Trinidad. From these interviews, one can observe a new, creolized notion of masculinity—which in many ways is tied to class position—emerging among young Indo-Trinidadian men.
Cultural Motifs Persist
Authors: Luke Jenny M.
Published: January 2020

After a general overview of childbirth’s shift to hospital in the early decades of the twentieth century from a national perspective, the chapter narrows its focus to the Jim Crow South. The cultural motifs established during slavery are highlighted as features of African American lay midwifery. A religious calling, an intergenerational female connectedness, and authority to practice were inherent characteristics of the midwife’s role.
Licensing and the “New Laws”
Authors: Luke Jenny M.
Published: January 2020

This chapter introduces the supervision and licensing of lay midwives implemented with the passage of the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act in 1921. It details the ways in which the midwives adapted to the increasing local, state and federal public health mandates, and how they interacted with county health officers, nurses, and physicians. Dr. Felix J. Underwood of the Mississippi State Board of Health was an early pioneer of midwifery supervision and his development of midwife club meetings and the midwife manual are used in this chapter to illustrate the state and county initiatives to improve maternal health.
Working with the State
Authors: Luke Jenny M.
Published: January 2020

Beyond their work as maternity care practitioners lay midwives fulfilled a crucial role in public health and this chapter describes their value as an extension of the state board of health. From their authoritative position in the community midwife clubs were extremely influential in organizing vaccination drives and education campaigns. The chapter discusses the state’s reliance on midwives to gather vital statistics, and the importance and consequences of submitting a birth certificate after each delivery.
Establishing the Professional Nurse-Midwife
Authors: Luke Jenny M.
Published: January 2020

This chapter returns to the Progressive Era to locate the origins of obstetrics, the economic competition perceived by professionalizing medicine towards midwifery, and contrasts the US to the development of midwifery in Europe. It outlines the establishment and goals of the Maternity Center Association and introduces the new profession of nurse-midwifery.
Max Brooks’s World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
Authors: Lanzendörfer Tim
Published: January 2020

This chapter suggests that Max Brooks’sgroundbreakingWorld War Z is best understood as both an indictment of neoconservative politics ca. 2005 as well as a catalogue of the anxieties of the early 21st century, and provides an idealized liberal-social democratic solution. But it is also a depiction of the limits of this liberal imagination of utopia, suggesting, if inadvertently, the way in which liberalism itself constrains conceptions of what a better world might look. Opening the study, the chapter lays out the way the zombie is a figure of possibility that, however, needs to be read against the actual ways in which these possibilities find expression.
The Walking Dead and the Never-Ending Zombie Story
Authors: Lanzendörfer Tim
Published: January 2020

This chapter reads The Walking Dead through its creator Robert Kirkman’s contention that it is the “zombie movie that never ends.” Drawing on Eran Dorfman’s notion of the everyday in modern life and Frank Kermode’s parsing of the need for literary endings, it argues that The Walking Dead’s narrative endlessness and questing for the restitution of the everyday is best understood as symptomatic of a contemporary moment in which there is room for doubt what the everyday actually is. The chapter suggests that The Walking Dead reflects the way life is lived in the absence of a sense of narrative endings.
Sadie and Allison in the Apocalypse
Authors: Lanzendörfer Tim
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses the argument that zombie fictions are in a privileged position to discuss progressive visions of gender politics. Following the book’s larger argument that zombies open spaces of possibility, rather than symbolically represent a particular politics, it briefly reads a number of zombie fictions for their depiction of women’s roles and relates them to literary form. It posits the possibility of something like a “genrécriture feminine” that limits writers in the ways they can depict women in the zombie apocalypse, a possibility explored by contrasting the initial set of texts with an exploration of two novels, Madeleine Roux’s Allison Hewitt is Trapped and Sadie Walker is Stranded. Ultimately, the chapter concludes, while zombie fiction offers possibilities to explore progressive gender positions, few texts actually make use of this possibility.
Introduction
Authors: Roche David
Published: January 2020

Is it even necessary to introduce Tarantino? Probably not. The biographies (Bernard 1995; Dawson 1995; Charyn 2006) and interview books (Peary 2013) all tell the same story: that of a young man, born in 1963 and raised by a strong, single mother named Connie, who went from working in a Los Angeles rental store called Video Archives to winning the Palme d’or for ...
“What Shall the History Books Read?”
Authors: Roche David
Published: January 2020

It starts by considering Tarantino’s turn to historical material from Inglourious Basterds on. Like many historical films, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight have been criticized for misrepresenting historical facts and experiences or, worse, disrespecting them, but I argue that this turn, in effect, makes explicit the mode by which metafiction investigates the relationship between fiction and reality. Engaging with film history through allegory does not preclude an engagement with history; on the contrary, it constitutes the means by which the films inscribe themselves within cultural history.
“Revenge is Never a Straight Line”
Authors: Roche David
Published: January 2020

This chapter proposes to analyze the narrative structures of each film in order to identify general trends and evolutions in Tarantino’s storytelling strategies. Grounded in a structuralist and neo-formalist methodology, it seeks to go beyond the identification of formal features in order to demonstrate that these structures are not just playful. It focuses, first, on the use of titles, then on the relationship between the narrative structures and classical and art-cinema paradigms, and finally on the relationship between the actual story and the narrative, with special attention to Tarantino’s varied approach to the flashback.
Geochemical assessment of heavy metal pollution of river basin in Nigeria using stream sediment
Authors: Oladipo Awosusi Oluwafunso , Luqman Adisa Adeshina
Published: January 2020

Heavy metal pollution has been a source of health problems in humans. These metals are persistent, toxic, non-degradable and often take a long time to be eliminated from the body. This study is, therefore, designed to assess heavy metal pollution of River Basin in Nigeria. Seventy stream sediment samples were systematically collected from an area, approximately 400km2, latitude 7O 00’ and 7O 15’N and longitude 5O 11’ and 5O 19’E. The pollution status of the sediments by heavy metals were assessed by Enrichment Factor (EF), Pollution Load Index (PLI) and Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo). The concentrations of the heavy metals were also compared with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Sediment quality guidelines (SQG). The samples were dried in the laboratory, disaggregated, sieved to minus 80 (<177 microns) mesh size using nylon sieve. The sieved samples were, then, digested and the concentrations of As, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn were determined by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WD-XRFS). Results revealed that the mean concentrations of the heavy metals are in the order V>Zn>Pb>As>Ni>Co>Fe>Mn. Furthermore, the mean concentration of lead exceeded both the average world shale and the USEPA SQG values. However, the mean concentration of cobalt, nickel, manganese and zinc were lower than the average world shale values for these elements. The Enrichment Factor (EF) revealed that cobalt was moderately enriched while arsenic and lead were significantly enriched in the sediments. On the basis of the geoaccumulation index, the stream sediments were largely uncontaminated except at some sites that were moderately to strongly contaminated by As and Pb.

Authors: Afrin Jui Sadia , Mijanur Rahman Rajib Md. , Mofazzal Hossain M. , Rani Mallik Sharmila , Jahan Nur Iffat , Ferdush Jannatul
Published: January 2020

The experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of growth regulators on leaf explant of Gerbera for callus induction. Various kinds of plant growth regulators such as 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were used to initiate cultures. These were added to Murashige and Skoog medium in different combinations and concentrations. Leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP+ 2, 4-D+ IAA in T4 treatment & BAP+ 2,4-D in T5 treatment showed the best results for callus induction. On the other hand callus was induced early in the combination of BA+ 2,4-D + IAA hormone in T5, T9 & T8 treatment respectively. The rate of callus induction was very low in BA + NAA combinations but it was much earlier.
DETERMINATION OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE OF CARBON FIBER SAMPLES AND THE PARAMETERS OF ACOUSTIC EMISSION SIGNALS DURING SIMULTANEOUS STATIC AND THERMAL LOADING
Authors: Stepanova L. N. , Bataev V. A. , Chernova V. V.
Published: January 2020

The effects of positive and negative temperature and static load on the main informative parameters (structure coefficient, partial energy, location) of acoustic emission (AE) signals, which determined the mechanism for changing the structure of carbon fiber and the beginning of its destruction, are investigated. Tests of specimens of carbon fiber T800, made of nine monolayers with laying [±45/90/О3/90/±45], size 600x100x0.9 mm. Each sample was subjected to static loading and the effects of positive (+20, +40, +60, +80, +100 °С) or negative (–20, –40, –60, –80 °C) temperatures in the area of the concentrator in the form of a 12 mm diameter hole. Using fractography, changes in the structure of carbon plastic from the applied static load and temperature and changes informative parameters were analyzed. It was shown that the lamination of the material with simultaneous exposure to static load and temperatures from –80 to –20 °C and from +60 to +100 °C corresponded to an increase in the structural coefficient and partial energy, which caused an energy shift in the frequency range 125…250 kHz. Under the same static loads, but temperatures of +20 and +40 °C, informative parameters took on minimal values, that meant the energy was shifted to the frequency range 250…500 kHz, characterized the crumbling of the matrix and breaking of the fibers without lamination of the CFRP. Under all temperature conditions, the location of the signals began in the hole area and spread in the direction of the static load. The detection the disturbance of the CFRP structure by the informative parameters of AE signals makes it possible to reduce the risk of emergency situations during working of the composite construction.

Hysteresis magnetic properties formation and plasticity of Fe&Co-based amorphous alloy tapes (brand 30KCP, the Fe–Co–Si–B system) for improvement increase in its properties and ensuring its competitive application on the control basis have been investigated. In researches magnetomeasuring installation have been used. It is intended for automatic magnetic characteristics measurement of soft magnetic materials ring samples by GOST 8.377 techniques. Defined degree of a flexural tension relaxation when annealing tapes. It was established that even at five-minute annealing at a temperature of 360 °C processes of a relaxation manage to take place almost completely. Further change in time of parameter of a relaxation is insignificant. The received dependences of magnetic characteristics on time of thermomagnetic processing at the enclosed field of 10 A/m and their comparison with usual annealing showed that coercive force changes on the same types of curves with insignificant deviations. After thermomagnetic processing in the enclosed field of 21 A/m coercive force in big fields increased approximately by 30 %, in small Hc failure observed around 5 … 15 min of processing as well as Br values increased. This observed result is very interesting in terms of magnetic reversal processes. The lack of stabilization mobile 180° domains borders, at simultaneous course stabilization 90° borders, is reflected in the form of recession of residual induction and growth of magnetic permeability. It is shown that thermomagnetic processing of amorphous alloy of brand 30KCP in not sating longitudinal field with small times of endurance 5…15 min at 360 °C leads to the drawn hysteresis loops, the lowered squareness of hysteresis loops and high values of low-field magnetic permeability 10.

Authors: Posadov V. V. , Posadova O. L. , Kolesova E. N. , Kuchin V. V.
Published: January 2020

The paper describes the determination of useful vibration spectrum components during strength tuning of gas turbine engine by the example of diagnostics of defects of bearing collars. New diagnostics criterion is proposed and used in diagnostics method. The usage of this method allows defining the location of a defect in early stages by transformation of informative diagnostic components of a signal masked by noise in vibration spectrum. Implementation of proposed diagnostics method makes diagnostic components discontinuous (not diffused by frequency). It simplifies the identification of diagnostic components in vibration spectrum in comparison with traditional methods of processing and analysis of dynamic signals.
Impact of Changes in Accounting Standards on Earnings Management
Authors: Muhamad Kawa W. , Saleh Subhi M. , Paridon Kees van
Published: January 2020

This study considers the question whether the changes in Accounting Standards has led to companies making less use of earnings management. The paper is an attempt to investigate whether the application of high quality standards like International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is related to high financial reporting quality. This study addresses this issue empirically. Furthermore, this research examines whether German companies that have applied IFRS have less earnings management compared to German companies that report according to the German Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GGAAP). The sample, consisting of two equally large listed companies in Germany (Südzucker Group and Henkel Group) from 2003-2014. The study suggests that IFRS-adopters show different earnings management performance compared to companies reporting under German GAAP. This finding contributes to the discussion on whether high quality standards are appropriate and operational in countries with weak investor protection rights. The result shows that adopters of IFRS in Germany can be related with less use of earnings management as a result of changes in accounting standards. This result is contradictory with previous research that was done by Van Tendeloo and Vanstraelen, (2005), and consistent with the previous research conducted by Ball et al. (2003).

Being grandparents is an important role and valued in the family in which family members have a certain view of the existence of grandparents in the family especially about what will be taught to their grandchildren. When grandchildren have disability, grandparents form a special expectation of themselves and grandchildren resulting on adjustment in the interaction process with grandchildren. This study aims to explore how the interaction between grandparents and grandchildren with disabilities can influence the formation of self-identity and the role of grandparents in the family. The study used a qualitative method, semi-structured interviews were conducted on 10 grandparents of children with intellectual and/or physical disabilities located in Semarang, Central Java, obtained through purposive sampling techniques. An Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis resulted in three main themes, namely: the formation of a grandfather's self-identity, the role of grandparents, and the assessment of the development of their grandchildren. The results highlight the important role of grandparents when a child has a disability, which illustrates that the grandparents' experience and role in the family vary, depending on the child's disability and the context of each family.

Child molestation was a form of child exploitation which gets serious concern from Indonesian government. A number of literatures has been investigated on traumatic effect of child predatory among children. However, study which explored child molester’s lived experience was still limited. This study aims to understand the lived experience of child molester after being sentenced. Three prisoners of Correctional Institution Kedungpane Semarang Indonesia were interviewed using semi-structured interview. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, data were analyzed. Four superordinate themes emerged from analysis: (1) failure to resolve conflicts with victim’s family, (2) disappointment of case disclosure, (3) attempt to escape severe punishment, and (4) effort to accept sentence. This result showed the need to find more effective strategy to help prisoners understand the effect of their behavior to children. Some suggestions to improve insight process among child molesters were also proposed.

Published: January 2020

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of PEDE training (Forgiveness, Self-Efficacy, and Empathy) to increase school well-being of students. The experimental design of this study was pretest-posttest without control group design. Participants were 50 students from vocational high schools, 21 man and 29 woman. Data were collected using School Well-Being Scale (20 items; α = .81). Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test to determine the differences in the level of school well-being before and after treatment. The results of the analysis showed a significant increase in school well-being (t (49)= 3.904; p <.001) from pretest (M= 60.98; SD= 4.162) to posttest (M= 63.28; SD=4.291). PEDE training (Forgiveness, Self-Efficacy, and Empathy) is proven to increase school well-being of students. Forgiveness is needed by students in facing the weaknesses and pressures they feel at school, pressure can come from within themselves, other people and the environment. Student satisfaction is inseparable from empathy, where students are able to understand and relate to cognitive and affective experiences from the perspective of others. With the various pressures and challenges faced, students need the self-efficacy to be able to succeed in achieving each of their goals, so that they receive recognition and appreciation in the school environment.

Inflation and Gross Regional Domestic Income (GRDP) are two macroeconomic variables of a region that are correlated with each other. GRDP prices constant (real) can be used as an indicator of economic growth in a region from year to year. Inflation is calculated from the CPI rate and economic growth is calculated from the GRDP rate. Inflation and economic growth in an area are influenced by several factors including bank interest rates. Analysis of data consisting of 2 correlated responses can be performed with birespon regression analysis. In this research, modeling of inflation data and the rate of GRDP through birespon data modeling uses spline truncated nonparametric method and birespon linear parametric method. The purpose of this study is to model inflation data and the Central Java GRDP rate using spline truncated birespon regression. The results are compared with the birespon linear regression model. By using quarterly data from the first quarter of 2007 - the second quarter of 2019, the spline truncated model is better than the linear model, because the spline truncated model has a smaller MSE and R2 is greater than the linear model. Both models have the same performance which is quite good.

This paper will study forecasting model for electricity demand in Yogyakarta and forecast it for 2019 until 2024. Usually, electricity demand data contain seasonal. We propose Singular Spectral Analysis-Linear Recurrent Formula (SSA-LRF) method. The SSA process consists of decomposing a time series for signal extraction and then reconstructing a less noisy series which is used for forecasting. The SSA-LRF method will be used to forecast h-step ahead. In this study, we use monthly electricity demand in Yogyakarta for 11 year (2008 to 2018). The forecasting results indicates that the forecast using window length of L=26 have good performance with MAPE of 1.9%.

River water discharge is important information for water resources management planning, so it is necessary to develop river water discharge model as basis of its predictions. In order to get the result of predictions of river water discharge with high accuracy, it is developed a model of river water discharge based on the predictions of local climate (local rainfall and temperature) that are influenced by global climate conditions. Prediction of local climate is based on the Kernel nonparametric statistical downscaling model by utilizing GCM data. GCM data is a high dimensional global data, so data pre-processing is needed to reduce data dimension. It is done by CART algorithm. Statistical downscaling model is used to predict local rainfall and temperature. The prediction results are quite good with relatively small RMSE value. They are used to develop model of river water discharge. Modeling river water discharge is carried out using the Kernel nonparametric approach. The model of river water discharge produced is quite good because it can be used to predict river water discharge with relatively small RMSE.
