Texts Classification with the usage of Neural Network based on the Word2vec’s Words Representation
Authors: Iatsenko D. V.
Published: June 2023

Assigning the submitted text to one of the predetermined categories is required when dealing with application-oriented texts. There are many different approaches to solving this problem, including using neural network algorithms. This article explores using neural networks to sort news articles based on their category. Two word vectorization algorithms are being used — The Bag of Words (BOW) and the word2vec distributive semantic model. For this work the BOW model was applied to the FNN, whereas the word2vec model was applied to CNN. We have measured the accuracy of the classification when applying these methods for ad texts datasets. The experimental results have shown that both of the models show us quite the comparable accuracy. However, the word2vec encoding used for CNN showed more relevant results, regarding to the texts semantics. Moreover, the trained CNN, based on the word2vec architecture, has produced a compact feature map on its last convolutional layer, which can then be used in the future text representation. I.e. Using CNN as a text encoder and for learning transfer.

Published: June 2023

This research is motivated by the need for more student activeness in learning at elementary schools. The research aims to enhance student activeness in using couple card media among elementary school students. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) with the Kemmis and McTaggart model design. The research implementation plan includes planning, action and observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques involve observation sheets, interviews, field notes, and documentation. Data processing techniques involve calculating average values and percentages. The results obtained in the pre-cycle phase showed that out of 30 students, only 41% (12 students) were active in the learning process. After implementing the first cycle using couple card learning media, student activeness improved but still needed to be maximized, with a percentage of 67% (20 students) being active in the learning process. Following the implementation of the second cycle, student activeness significantly increased and reached the predetermined threshold set by the researcher as an indicator of activeness in learning. The percentage obtained was 89% (27 students) actively engaged during the learning process.
Wattpad’s Role in Motivating Secondary School Students to Write a Narrative Text: A Case Study
Authors: Agustina Dwi , Hidayat Rahmad
Published: June 2023

This study aims to investigate Wattpad's role in motivating secondary school students to write narrative texts. As an online application, Wattpad offers several benefits for students, particularly those with low motivation in writing due to difficulties learning vocabulary and a lack of ideas or inspiration when composing a narrative text. Therefore, exploring the efforts of students who utilize Wattpad to develop their writing skills is interesting, specifically by using narrative texts as the application's content. This research employed a qualitative case study approach, in which the researcher conducted interviews with three 11th-grade students from SMA Negeri 1 Wringinanom during the academic year 2022/2023. The data obtained from the interviews were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The study findings revealed that Wattpad significantly motivates secondary school students to write narrative texts. The platform aids students in nurturing their imagination and discovering new vocabulary through the narrative stories on the Wattpad application. Furthermore, the study suggests that students with writing talent can further develop their skills on this platform, allowing their work to be recognized and read by a wider audience.

Published: June 2023

Çalışmada 1950-2022 dönemi için Türkiye’de ortalama hava sıcaklıklarında gözlenen değişim ve eğilimler yıllık ve mevsimlik olarak incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla Avrupa Orta Vadeli Hava Tahmin Merkezi (ECMWF) tarafından üretilen ERA5-Land veri setinin Türkiye’yi kapsayan 8053 grid hücre verilerinden yararlanılmıştır. Son 73 yılda Türkiye’nin ortalama hava sıcaklığındaki artış, basit doğrusal regresyon ve Mann-Kendall (M-K) sıra ilişki katsayısı analizlerine göre istatistiki olarak 0.001 anlamlılık seviyesinde sırasıyla 1.31°C ve 1.46°C olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar son 73 yıllık dönemde Türkiye’de yıllık ortalama hava sıcaklıklarının her on yıl için 0.20°C olmak üzere küresel ortalamanın neredeyse 3 katına yakın bir ısınma eğilimi gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. 1990’lı yılların ilk yarısında başlayan ısınma eğilimi 21. yüzyılın itibaren daha da kuvvetlenmiştir. Nitekim son 73 yılda ölçülen en yüksek yıllık ortalama sıcaklıklar 2011 yılı hariç, 2005 yılından sonraki döneme aittir. 1950-2022 döneminde yıllık ortalama sıcaklıklarda en yüksek değerler sırasıyla 2010, 2018 ve 2020 yıllarında gözlenmiştir. Mevsimlik ortalama hava sıcaklıklarında en kuvvetli artış eğilimi, istatistiki olarak 0.001 anlamlılık seviyesinde basit doğrusal regresyon (M-K) analizine göre son 73 yılda 1.61 °C (1.68°C) ile yaz mevsiminde gözlenmektedir. Yaz mevsimini sırasıyla ilkbahar ve sonbahar mevsimleri izlemektedir. Son 73 yılda Türkiye’de basit doğrusal regresyon ve Mann-Kendall (M-K) sıra ilişki katsayısı analizlerine göre ilkbahar mevsimi ortalama hava sıcaklıkları 1.39°C (1.39°C), sonbahar mevsiminde ise 0.88°C (1.10°C) artmıştır. Türkiye’de ortalama hava sıcaklarında gözlenen bu eğilimler, iklim değişikliğinin büyüklüğünün ve olası etkilerinin önemli bir göstergesidir.

In this study, it is aimed to examine the educational tools of the sustainability of continuity in educational management. In this context, the works of leading scientists who stand out in the development of educational tools for the sustainability of continuity in educational management will be mentioned. As it is known, the main dynamics in the TQM approach are individuality, subjectivity, freedom and democracy. The criteria related to the quality of teaching are the field knowledge of instructors and administrators, the intellectual development levels of students, cooperation, the use of materials that support teaching, the classroom management skills of instructors, getting feedback from the student, encouraging students to learn independently, developing competent evaluation methods. There are working groups that produce alternative ideas about education in teaching organizations that practice TQM. In-service educational programs for corporate managers focus on creating a vision, ensuring environmental-institutional integrity, participatory management thinking, cooperation, teamwork, developing individual resources, motivation, problem solving, developing creativity and increasing productivity, competent managerial and instructional leadership. In this context, it is of great importance to redefine teaching in line with the dynamics of community development and to bring teaching organizations into a functional structure for the purpose. Teaching should be perceived as a collection of subjects that contain conditions that can meet the individual's curiosity for development and knowledge, creativity and productivity. The main condition for the establishment of this understanding is to be able to make competent use of individual resources on the teaching level. It is difficult to reach the intended level with authoritarian policies and understandings that alienate the community and the world. At this point, the flexible structuring model of TKI, which is open to development, is also suitable for the structure and functioning of educational organizations.

The aim of this study is to examine the processes affecting classroom management within the framework of school administrators and their competencies in educational management. Schools are the organizations that serve to meet the wishes and expectations of society in education and constitute the lowest unit of the education system. The main purpose of educational organizations is to transfer the culture and values that will ensure the continuity of society to future generations and to shape these culture and values. One of the necessary conditions for these to be realized is that students, teachers and administrators involved in educational organizations should establish a psychological connection with their organizations and all kinds of activities organized by the organization. Because identification with an organization is a form of social identification in which a person has the phenomenon of unity and a sense of belonging and bonding associated with the institution, activities and members of which he is a member. The classrooms where educational activities take place are the areas where students spend the most time in school. Although it is the smallest unit of the educational system, classrooms, which greatly shape the personality and behavior of students and are considered one of the primary sources where knowledge acquisition takes place at the highest level, are at the heart of educational activities. An effective classroom management is needed in order to create a classroom environment in which students are prepared for life by performing learning activities within the framework of a specific content, program and purpose. The success of classroom management affects the quality of the school and the education provided, which indirectly affects social life.

Indian’s engagement with other South Asian states is inevitable and essentials. Despite the interdependence growing albeit slowly in the region, India and its South Asian neighbors view each other through gauze of misgivings, suspicion and mistrust. Despite the continued bilateral engagement with its neighbours, it is apparent that despite al the incentives, advantages and attractions, economic cooperation does not appear to be the fulcrum that could optimize the opportunities that India and the region offer. Progress n the political front is imperative for the region to progress , and India and its South Asian neighbours all need to work this through.
Islamic Identity Formation, Madrasas, and Muslims in Sri Lanka
Authors: Imtiyaz A.R.M.
Published: June 2023

Sri Lankan Muslims form a small (less than 10% of the population) but peaceful community within Sri Lanka’s ethnopolitical landscape. However, the rise of intolerance against the non-mainstream schools of thought, such as Sufism, and violent movements among Muslims as a defensive mechanism during the Sri Lanka government’s war against the Tamil Tigers and after the war in 2009, mainly against Sinhala-Buddhist targets, radically questioned the peaceful nature of Sri Lankan Muslims. This paper attempts to provide some notes on (a) Sri Lanka Muslim elites’ quest for identity formation by intensely resorting to the Islamic faith and values and rejecting the Tamilian identity among Muslims whose mother is mainly Tamil, and (b) the growth of Islamic seminaries among Sri Lankan Muslims or ‘Moors’ as a result of the elites’ construction of Islamic identity for Sri Lankan Muslims. The paper uses both primary and secondary sources to understand the complex ethnoreligious development among Muslims. Apart from a literature review, interviews of former Madrasa students through zoom between October and November 2020 provided inside perspectives about the goals and global views of Madrasas.
The Making of Contemporary Maldives: Isolation, Dictatorship and Democracy
Authors: Naseem Azra
Published: June 2023

The Maldives, South Asian smallest nation, adopted democracy in 2008. The years has been seen the country hurtle from one political crisis to another, including the premature end to its first democratic government; an authoritarian reversal; and a tentative return to democracy. This article examines the type of society which has produces and, has been produced by, such political upheaval; and it reviews the role that region has played in shaping contemporary Maldivian society and politics. It asserts that the island nation’s geography, its isolation and long history of authoritarian rule and the long-term pursuit of centralized and unequal development policies has engendered a society increasingly torn between strengthening democracy and ‘defending [salafi] Islam’ the only religion its democratic Constitution allows. As the Indo-Pacific region becomes central to international geopolitics, and the geographical location of the Maldives becomes important to regional and global security strategies, this commentary provides an introduction to the factors and actors at play in contemporary Maldivian society.

Authors: Azwar Ridwan  , Juniar  , Azzam Faiz Mutawakkil
Published: June 2023

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a serious problem in children and adolescents because leading to permanent hearing loss which can have physical, social and psychological impacts. An untreated CSOM can cause Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL), which is a form of intra-temporal complication of CSOM. Objective: To report a case of a unsafe type of CSOM patient with profound sensorineural hearing loss in left ear and further treatment options. Case: Reported a 17-year-old female patient who was diagnosed as a patient with unsafe type of CSOM and profound sensorineural hearing loss in left ear. The patient underwent a radical mastoidectomy and used Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) on the left ear. Conclusion: The diagnosis of the patient is based on anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examinations. Management of the unsafe type of CSOM aims to remove all pathological tissue, leaving the operating dry cavity and preventing more severe complications. Subsequent planning for post-radical mastoidectomy patients can use hearing aid.
Morphometric variability of Praomys misonnei (Rodentia: Muridae) in west central African forests reveals complex relationships between populations
Authors: Jean-François Mboumba  , Stephan Ntie  , Patrick Mickala
Published: June 2023

This study addresses the morphological biometrics of Praomys misonnei and the signatures of its population history through a survey of external morphological characters measured on 133 individuals from eight West Central African (Gabon and Cameroon) localities. Four standard external characters were measured: head + body length, tail length, hindfoot length, and ear length. Using univariate and multivariate statistics, we inferred inter-population relationships from these morphometric characteristics and tested hypotheses of historical patterns of local adaptation (phylogenetic relationships) or of association with ecological gradients. We also tested the influence of sex on morphometric parameters. Our results support the existence of two morphometrically distinct groups of P. misonnei. The first one includes individuals from northern, central, and southern Gabon, while the second one includes individuals from southern Cameroon and one locality in southern Gabon (Mbaya). This result could be explained by the fact that the first group inhabits an area mainly covered by dense rainforest (about 90% of Gabon), while the second group is found in degraded forest or mosaics of forest-savanna habitats (Cameroon and southeastern Gabon). Another reason could be seasonal reversal, which has been postulated right at border between Gabon and Cameroon. The pattern of morphometric variation was correlated with local environmental factors. No sexual dimorphism was recorded.

Introduction: Dengue and chikungunya infections are one of the most common arboviral infections affecting people globally, including India. Both are vector born viral infections sharing common vector. Hence in areas where both viruses co-circulate, they can be transmitted together. There are few reports discussing the dengue-chikungunya coinfection from cental India, so present study was planned to study the prevalence of dengue chikungunya monoinfection as well as coinfection from this part of the country. Materials and methods: All the samples received in the laboratory were subjected to Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test to detect the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against both CHIKV and DENV. Results: Out of total 2009 samples from suspected patients for dengue infection, 192 (9.5%) samples were positive for DENV while CHIK IgM antibodies were positive in 157 (7.8%) patients. Co-infection was seen in 68 (3.4%) cases. Conclusion: Present study suggests co-infections with dengue and chikungunya virus occur in areas where both viruses co-circulate. Both the illness present with overlapping signs and symptoms, making diagnosis and treatment difficult. Repeated outbreaks of both the infections suggest that the epidemiology of these viruses is changing. Thus, in clinically suspected cases it is advisable to test for both viruses for better patient care

A população geriátrica foi altamente afetada pela pandemia da COVID-19, tornando-a ainda mais vulnerável devido as medidas de restrições implementadas. O presente trabalho de revisão sistemática de literatura buscou investigar as consequências do isolamento social na qualidade de vida de idosos acima de 60 anos durante a pandemia além de apontar os principais fatores de risco e proteção associados. Foram analisados 52 artigos selecionados a partir de uma busca bibliográfica em bases de dados (Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, National Library of Medicine, EbscoHost e Google Scholar). Os resultados revelaram divergências entre os estudos sobre qual grupo, jovem, adulto ou idoso, sofreu mais negativamente os efeitos da pandemia. No entanto, a idade avançada foi considerada um fator agravante para a mortalidade pela COVID-19. A pandemia teve consequências graves nos idosos, como aumento nas taxas de suicídio, estresse, ansiedade, medo e piora nos quadros de demência e delirium. A atividade física foi comprometida durante a quarentena, levando ao aumento das taxas de sobrepeso, obesidade, colesterol e de doenças cardiovasculares.
