3D printing technology as a method for discovering new creative opportunities for architecture and design
Authors: Krūgelis Linas
Published: February 2019

3D printing technology has been in existence for several decades and has long been used exclusively for industrial manufacturing or product prototyping, and today this rapidly progressing technology penetrates more and more effectively into creativity fields. It encourages re-evaluation of the possibilities and methods that every person today can create, model, change their living environment. Opens up new possibilities for customized architectural and product design. The world-wide technological experiments provide new and still untapped tools for future developers. The article analyzes the current situation of recent decade in the Western world regarding the use of three dimensional (3D) press in relation to the living environment. The study highlights emerging trends and new opportunities for creativity for architects and designers. From printing complex geometrical structures to practical application in product design. The research analyzes the research of different authors, and some significant technological innovations. All this makes it possible to concentrate and effectively evaluate the direction of the development of this industry and the expected result for the future development of architecture in contemporary digital age. Since 3D printing in architecture and landscape design is not yet widely used, the article discusses the most recent experiments conducted by various researchers in recent years, reflecting the trends of the fourth industrial revolution and which can influence further architectural development. The research methodology is based on historical research, analogical descriptive and comparative methods. The results of the research suggest that, as the 3d printing technology grows and develops, architecture and the design of the environment will acquire a wider variety of artistic expression.
Learning Environment by the Future Society: Development of School Grounds in Lithuania
Authors: Nekrošius Liutauras , Ruseckaite Indre , Riaubiene Edita
Published: February 2019

This paper presents particular aspects of educational function of the schoolyard, and argues that such a space could be used for educating the young generation, collaboration and interaction in creating the living environment. Research of Lithuanian schools’ architecture during the last few decades has indicated the practice of using the
school courtyard that could be described as “Forgotten Space”. Education scholars pay exclusive attention to the interaction between learning and playing. Urban gardening, environmental monitoring, design-build studios become integral parts of secondary or even primary education. These activities need proper environment. The majority of Lithuanian youth attends schools built in the interwar and soviet periods that rarely fit the up-todate
paradigm of education and spatial needs. This makes the school environment problematic but, at the same time, perfect as a transformation laboratory for communities as the non-generic “commissioners”, potential driving force of such actions. Architects, landscape architects, urban designers and planners occasionally look at the cooperation with communities as an obstacle or formal “must”. Since 2014, the Faculty of Architecture, VGTU, started to act as a catalyst activating discussions and alternative visions for changes of school spaces, mostly anticipating that the youth (students and school-children) involved would accustom themselves to active and constant co-creation and maintenance of their environment. The overview of the school grounds development in Lithuania during the last century was performed by consistent analysis of different functions. The study of each possible function of school outdoor area was done by applying the three-aspect correlation method: the education theory, legal building regulations and school environment practice. The study of school ground as the contemporary collectively developed playscape presented the results of experimental practices on participatory design and community engagement.
INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION
Authors: Bourne John R. , Moore Janet C. , SchWeber Claudine
Published: February 2019

n the 60 years since the Declaration, changes have swept higher education. The emergence of online education promises that growth in its quality, scale and breadth could insure that education becomes a right.Sloan-C research abundantly demonstrates that online education is effective for learning, especially for encouraging reflection, interaction, diversity and collaboration. It can take advantage of cost efficiencies, especially through curriculum redesign and shared resources. It provides access to more learners and more kinds of learners at their own chosen times and places.Although teaching and learning online may take more time and effort, the growth of online education in the United States to 20% of the entire college population shows that faculty and students readily engage online. Nevertheless, there is still tremendous potential for growth.
BRICS AND CLICKS
Authors: Bold Mary , Chenoweth Lillian , Garimella Nirisha K.
Published: February 2019

Projections for the global economy frequently center on the BRIC countries: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. As futurists and economists alike define and re-define both formal and informal coalitions (for example, by broadening the R in BRIC to include all Eastern European economies or instead re-directing the discussion to G-8 countries or to World Trade Organization members), the education profiles of the individual nations sometimes resemble economic indicators: what is imported, what is exported, and what is the potential for expansion. Higher education, and specifically distance learning (the Clicks element of this paper), can already be charted in these terms for some nations. This paper describes the current role of distance learning in countries described as growing economies and proposes a typology for describing change as additional data become available. The paper informs readers of global developments in distance education, using the BRIC nations as examples.
MICROFRANCHISING MICROLEARNING CENTERS: A SUSTAINABLE MODEL FOR EXPANDING THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES?
Authors: Ivins Tiffany Zenith
Published: February 2019

While the availability of information and access to it enables education in developing countries, information alone does not secure transmission of knowledge—especially to remote learners in low-tech, infrastructure-poor communities. For this reason, 21st century distance education tools require innovative mechanisms for accessing the hardest-to-reach learners. This paper explores an ethnographic case study from Nepal as a means for illuminating the possibility for expanding the right to education in developing countries through an innovative approach: the micro-franchising of microlearning centers.
IF HIGHER EDUCATION IS A RIGHT, AND DISTANCE EDUCATION IS THE ANSWER, THEN WHO WILL PAY?
Authors: Meyer Katrina A.
Published: February 2019

If higher education is a right, and distance education is the avenue for making higher education universally available, then who shall pay? This article asks (1) can state governments in the United States afford to fund this initiative and (2) can public higher education institutions in the U.S. fund this effort through capitalizing on cost-efficiencies of online learning? To answer the first question, data on funding of higher education by states are reviewed and a negative conclusion reached. To answer the second question, research on methods for achieving cost-efficiencies through online learning is reviewed and a cautious positive conclusion is reached, assuming states and institutions are willing to invest in the people and processes, and the time, effort, and will that make achieving efficiencies possible.
ACCESS TO EDUCATION WITH ONLINE LEARNING AND OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: CAN THEY CLOSE THE GAP?
Authors: Geith Christine , Vignare Karen
Published: February 2019

One of the key concepts in the right to education is access: access to the means to fully develop as human beings as well as access to the means to gain skills, knowledge and credentials. This is an important perspective through which to examine the solutions to access enabled by Open Educational Resources (OER) and online learning. The authors compare and contrast OER and online learning and their potential for addressing human rights “to” and “in” education. The authors examine OER and online learning growth and financial sustainability and explore potential scenarios to address the global education gap.
AN ONLINE LEARNING MODEL TO FACILITATE LEARNERS’ RIGHTS TO EDUCATION
Authors: Lin Lin
Published: February 2019

This paper connects an online learning model to the rights to education that the online educational environments can provide. The model emerges from a study of ninety-two online learners and is composed of three kinds of inquiries, namely, independent inquiry, collaborative inquiry, and formative inquiry towards expert knowledge. Online learners naturally pursue and undertake these inquiries when they are equipped with communication channels and technologies. This model provides a thinking tool for integrating new media and technologies in an online learning environment in order to help students achieve their full rights to education.
OVERCOMING THE FINANCIAL AID BARRIER FOR E-LEARNERS
Authors: Chaloux Bruce
Published: February 2019

Financial aid systems help make higher education available to all who can benefit. To “adjust” the existing financial aid system to make it more student-friendly and open doors currently closed to many part-time learners and students with the greatest financial challenges, state policy changes and greater private sector initiatives targeted at workforce can use creative strategies, including altering state-based programs, creating new learning tax incentives, coordinating employer-based aid, and distributing aid directly to students.
The Development of a Community of Inquiry Over Time in an Online Course: Understanding the Progression and Integration of Social, Cognitive and Teaching Presence
Authors: Akyol Zehra , Garrison Randy
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this study was to explore the dynamics of an online educational experience through the lens of the Community of Inquiry framework. Transcript analysis of online discussion postings and the Community of Inquiry survey were applied to understand the progression and integration of each of the Community of Inquiry presences. The results indicated a significant change in teaching and social presence categories over time. Moreover, survey results yielded significant relationships among teaching presence, cognitive presence and social presence, and students’ perceived learning and satisfaction in the course. The findings have important implications theoretically in terms of confirming the framework and practically by identifying the dynamics of each of the presences and their association with perceived learning and satisfaction.
REFLECTIONS FROM THE MOVING THE LABORATORY ONLINE WORKSHOPS: EMERGING THEMES
Authors: Cancilla Devon A. , Albon Simon P.
Published: February 2019

How to move science-based labs online has been one of the main obstacles associated with the development of online science programs. In the spring of 2006 and again in 2007, we organized online workshops broadly based around the central theme of Moving the Lab Online. The objective of these workshops was to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, thoughts, and experience associated with the challenges of moving science labs into the online environment. Produced by Sloan-C, the first workshop, entitled "Practical Techniques for Utilizing Remote Instrumentation to Enhance Science Education" focused primarily on the technical aspects of using remote instrumentation. The second, entitled "Changing the Laboratory Learning Experience Using the Online Environment" looked at issues associated with teaching online labs using remote instrumentation. A number of similar themes emerged from these workshops. These ranged from a need to better articulate the role of the laboratory experience to questions of whether labs even need to be part of the online science learning experience, to the need of the development of best practices. This paper presents the authors' reflections on the prominent themes and discussions that emerged from the Moving the Lab Online workshop series.

STUDENT EXPERIENCES OF USING WEBLOGS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
Authors: Sharma Priya , Xie Ying
Published: February 2019

Recently, attempts have been made to use Weblogs and other personal webpublishing technologies to support individual and social reflection in higher education. Weblogs can be highly individual and reflective in nature, and students’ experiences and perceptions of the technology and practice are of primary importance in furthering educational use. In this phenomenological study 8 participants who maintained Weblogs in a graduate course were interviewed. Initial data analysis indicates that participants found Weblogs helpful for learning, reflecting, and building a sense of community. However, participants expressed concerns over the lack of structure for Weblog usage and the public nature of the reflective process. Implications for future practical and research applications of Weblogs are presented.
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS IN DESIGNING ONLINE DISCUSSIONS TO PROMOTE COGNITIVE PRESENCE — A PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
Authors: Wang Yu-mei , Chen Victor Der-Thanq
Published: February 2019

Online discussions have been increasingly integrated into face-to-face classes at universities to enhance student learning of course content. The primary focus of past research has been on the end products of online discussions. Studies reported either successful findings or results that fell short of desired learning outcomes. An in-depth investigation is needed about how the design of online discussions is related to success. This paper reports our experiences in conducting a three-phase, design-based study: (1) designing the online discussion activity; (2) implementing our design in a university course; (3) empirically investigating our design.
INTERACTION IN ASYNCHRONOUS WEB- BASED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: STRATEGIES SUPPORTED BY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
Authors: Woo Younghee , Reeves Thomas C.
Published: February 2019

Because of the perceived advantages and the promotion of Web-based learning environments (WBLEs) by commercial interests as well as educational technologists, knowing how to develop and implement WBLEs will probably not be a choice, but a necessity for most educators and trainers in the future. However, many instructors still don’t understand the most effective strategies for designing and implementing effective WBLEs even though numerous studies have demonstrated that the success or failure of online learning depends largely on the quality of interaction within those learning environments. Indeed, it has been said learning is impossible without meaningful cognitive interaction. However, this kind of interaction does not occur by itself. The primary goal of this paper is to explore the importance and characteristics of meaningful interaction in online learning, especially in asynchronous contexts. A secondary goal of this paper is to present several pragmatic strategies for improving meaningful interactions in WBLEs on the basis of a review of relevant research literature.
COMPARING STUDENT PERFORMANCE: ONLINE VERSUS BLENDED VERSUS FACE-TO-FACE
Authors: Larson David K. , Sung Chung-Hsien
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this research was to perform a three way comparison of delivery modes for an introductory Management Information Systems course to determine if there existed a difference in student success among the delivery modes. The research compares student exam and final grade results in this class that was taught by the same instructor using face-to-face, blended and online delivery modes. An Analysis of Variance test was used on the exam and final grade data to determine if a significant difference existed. Additionally, a discussion of this class in relation to student satisfaction, learning effectiveness and faculty satisfaction is presented. This research demonstrates that there is no significant difference among delivery modes. Additionally, blended and online modes for this class do very well when measuring student satisfaction, learning effectiveness and faculty satisfaction.
A CASE STUDY FROM GOLDEN GATE UNIVERSITY: USING COURSE OBJECTIVES TO FACILITATE BLENDED LEARNING IN SHORTENED COURSES
Authors: Fulkerth Robert
Published: February 2019

This paper discusses utilizing course objectives to drive the change of existing 10–15 week undergraduate courses into 8-week courses that feature blended learning tools. To begin the redesign process, instructors and a faculty mentor revisit course objectives for currency, and with an eye toward blended course restructuring. The restructuring is overseen to ensure that standards are met. The resulting course redesign has overarching objectives and weekly objectives tied directly to weekly activities, many of which are blended. In addition to blended tools, the courses are considered blended as to modality in that while there is a weekly face-to-face meeting, there is also a fixed expectation for out of class work, where blended tools find good use. An approach to using blended tools as bridge activities between “last week” and “next week” is also presented. The redesigned classes are proving satisfactory to students and teachers; no differences in student course evaluations with respect to course quality are noted. Some students indicate there is “more work”, which is perhaps a function of the need to better manage student and faculty time management expectations. The redesign has been so successful that it we intend it to become a fundamental institutional faculty development tool.
THE SLOAN-C PILLARS AND BOUNDARY OBJECTS AS A FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING BLENDED LEARNING
Authors: Laumakis Mark , Graham Charles , Dziuban Chuck
Published: February 2019

The authors contend that blended learning represents a boundary object; a construct that brings together constituencies from a variety of backgrounds with each of these cohorts defining the object somewhat differently. The Sloan-C Pillars (learning effectiveness, access, cost effectiveness, student satisfaction, and faculty satisfaction) provide a foundation for the evaluation of asynchronous learning networks that works equally well for the evaluation of blended learning environments. The Pillars and a simplified model of a learning system, focus on inputs, processes, and outputs, and provide the framework for a case study of blended learning design and evaluation in a 500-student section of an Introductory Psychology course. Results of a multi-method evaluation of this course indicated very high levels of both learning effectiveness and student satisfaction. The article concludes with the suggestion that blended learning may represent a black swan, a high-impact, unpredicted, and rare event that highlights the limitations of our ability to reliably predict the future in any arena, including online learning environments.

Application of advances in nanomedicine and materials science to medical diagnostics is a promising area of research. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an innovative analytical method that exploits noble metal nanoparticles to noninvasively study cells, cell organelles and protein molecules. Below, we summarize the literature on the methods for early clinical diagnosis of some neurodegenerative and neuroendocrine diseases. We discuss the specifics, advantages and limitations of different diagnostic techniques based on the use of low- and high molecular weight biomarkers. We talk about the prospects of optical methods for rapid diagnosis of neurotransmitter metabolism disorders. Special attention is paid to new approaches to devising optical systems that expand the analytical potential of SERS, the tool that demonstrates remarkable sensitivity, selectivity and reproducibility of the results in determining target analytes in complex biological matrices.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic injury to the spinal cord which is not a consequence of the disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have gradually become one of the most used stem cells in research and clinic trial. Based on the previous reports employed the cells ranged from 4 • 105 to 1 • 106, the present study was performed to figure out the best number of MSCs for transplantation of the chronic SCI. Magnetic nanoparticles were used for proving the precise transplantation strategy. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), and behavior testing evaluations, we focused the effect of varying numbers of MSCs on reducing lesion cavity and post–traumatic syrinx formation, suppressing glial scar formation, enhancing neuronal fibers remodeling, promoting axonal regeneration and sprouting, improving vascularization, ameliorating the neuronal factors expressional level, and function improvement. Magnetic nanoparticles were precisely transplanted into the post–traumatic syrinx (PTS). MSCs can restore function after chronic SCI through stimulating the regeneration and sprouting of the axons, reducing the formation of PTS. The effect of MSCs on PTS management and functional improvement post chronic SCI was cell number–dependent, and within the range of 4 • 105 to 1 • 106, 1 • 106 cells were proved to be the best dose.

Ecotourism, one of the emerging tourism alternatives, is the result of the changes in the values and the habits of people. The rapidly growing ecotourism movement for mountain zone of tourism attraction, in this case just like the ecotourism in the Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak (TNGHS), West Java. Ecotourism contains area of natural tropical biodiversity conservation, wildlife nature, rainforest scenery, local community, and others various natural potentials that can be beneficial to attract domestic tourists as well as international tourists. This study refers to the mountain ecotourism destination representing extreme virtues of landscape and nature. Mountain issues have been recognized by the international community as one of the world's most vulnerable bio-geographical areas susceptible to land degradation, having variable climates, heterogeneous habitats often with the unique fauna and flora. The study aimed to develop a dynamic model to understand the dynamic relationships between economy, environment and population. In this model several scenarios are analyzed which incorporate various policies and development paths. A dynamic simulation model tries to conceptual simulate the real situation or the real world to analyze the dynamic relations between the variables in the model. The dynamic model is used to see how developments and management of tourism destination may affect the conservation area. The main goal of this study is to obtain an insight into the dynamic interactions between the main factors influencing tourism. The results indicate that tourism shows a cyclical path, that policies to conservation the mountain not only have a positive effect on tourism but also on the rest of the economy.

Published: February 2019

Kids as future market are one of the potential markets. Besides, many factors may influence in the process to be the future market, such as, children’s internal and external environments. This study used one of the psychological concepts, autobiographical memory that focuses on the unforgettable memory in children in their late period (12-14 years). The aims of the study are to describe the use of autobiographical memory in children’s late period and contribute to the understanding of brand loyalty and brand switching, especially in toothpaste product. The research questions are (1) the condition of toothpaste usage in children’s late period; (2) the brands commonly used by the children’s late period; (3) the children’s late period autobiographical memory when they use those brands (4) the willingness to keep on using those brands; and (5) the tendencies to switch brands. Purposive sampling method is used. The sample size is 218 children age 12-14 years old in 2 private and state junior high school. The study used descriptive statistic analysis. The analysis shows that the autobiographical memory is one of the factors to make the children loyal to the brand. However, they also could switch the brand. In their early age, children age 12-14 years old do not have the freedom to purchase products, because their reference groups still have influence in their life. The study shows 71.1% of the sample commonly use Pepsodent, 15% Close Up, Ciptadent, Enzim and Antiplaque are in the third, fourth and fifth place. The product feature, product image, and product accessibility have impacts on the autobiographical memory due to the consumption of the toothpaste. Pepsodent is the most unforgettable toothpaste brand (70.64%), followed by Close Up (31.1%), Ciptadent (21.1%), and Formula (19.27%). The children’s late period are in grey area between loyal to the brand and switch to another brand.The results show several important concepts that are further used to formulate propositions and a model.

Authors: Abdullah Tengku Mohammad Chairal , Hussin Zolkafli
Published: February 2019

There has been considerable research done by academicians and practitioners on corporate bankruptcy predictions, though in the field of corporate turnaround such research were somehow much lacking. Scholars argued that early acceptance of turnaround situation were important for successful recovery. Therefore early predictions on turnaround situation were much needed. This paper seeks to give an overview of corporate turnaround predictions. The samples were taken from the main board companies of Bursa Malaysia from the year 1997 to 2005. Data were taken from financial statement which being published in the Handbook of Annual Report. Several financial ratios were considered in the analysis to see whether a significant difference exists between Turnaround and Non-Turnaround firms. The research used Logistic Regression Analysis as statistical tool. The study found Financial Leverage Ratio (Total Debt/Total Asset), Sales/Total Asset, Receivables/Inventory and Total Tangible Asset to have statistical significant measure to differentiate between the two groups of companies. The study also found that those ratios could be use as significant predictor variables in measuring the probability of a particular company to fall under one of those categories. Hopefully the findings of the research would shed some light and give a better platform in predicting which company would enter the phase of turnaround situation.

Organizational Companionship
Authors: Kim Youngshik , Suh Yongwon
Published: February 2019

In the field of organizational psychology, the study of task conflict and relationship conflict is noted. However, there seems to be a paucity in research clarifying relationship among organizational members that can reduce the impact of task conflict on relationship conflict. The purpose of this study is to conceptualization and scale development of organizational companionship, which mitigates the effects of task conflict on relationship conflict. In the first study, an in-depth interview was conducted in order to explore relationship-based factors that could reduce the effects of task conflict on relationship conflict. Such factors that reduce relationship conflict in presence of task conflict were defined as organizational companionship, and was conceptualized as being composed of five sub-factors-jeong, we-ness, mutual trust, loyal behavior, and responsibility-which were named based on literature review. In the second study, a scale for organizational companionship was developed based on the in-depth interview. The result of exploratory factor analysis using data of 310 participants showed a 5 factor structure with 28 items. It was also verified that organizational companionship reduced the effects of task conflict on relationship conflict. In the third study, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with a sample of 304 participants, and the results signified that the 5 factor structure indicated a satisfactory fit. Based on such findings, theoretical and practical implication, limitations, and suggestions for future research were discussed.

The texture of the food consists of smooth and rough, liquid and solid, hard and soft. Texture greatly affects the image or taste of food that can be felt with pressure and movement of receptors in the mouth. One of the types of food that depends on texture is crackers. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in texture of crackers using sand kali and mountain sand as heat conductive media for roasting by using temperatures of 120 OC, 140 OC and 160 OC and various  variations of time ie 10, 15, 20 and 25 seconds. The parameters measured are the value of cracker hardness and cracker water content. The results showed that river sand kali and mountain sand can change the texture of crackers through roasting, because of the heat transfer from the heating wall in the sand so that it affects the moisture content and starch content in roasted crackers, in the roasting process, the temperature affects the texture of the crackers produced where good  temperature id use is 140 OC for kali  sand times and 160  OC for mountain sand with a time of 20 and 25 seconds.
