Students' comprehension of the theory is often implemented as an effort to improve their achievements. However, other learning processes are rarely carried out by teachers, such as the practice or tools uses as the lesson application. The purpose of this study is to analyze the learning effectiveness by applying the geophysical surveys practice method or the use of environmental geophysics tools. The assessment of students' abilities is based on the interpretation results of environmental geophysical survey data and the presentations and discussions about the results of interpretation. The TGT Cooperative learning model was used with a quasi-experimental method and quantitative design. Data collection was carried out using a series of research instruments in the form of questionnaires. The results of the study were based on comparisons between the experimental class and the control class. The results show that the experimental class has excellent findings. 1) Based on the results of the post-test, the TGT cooperative learning method is very effective in this study, because teamwork can maintain students' enthusiasm and understanding during the learning process. 2) Retrieval of field data makes students better understand the application of geoelectric concepts and determination of rock resistivity.

This research aimed to analyze the improvement of students' creative thinking skills on the topic of heat and its transfer using the POGIL model. The matter concerning heat and its transfer has some characteristics that enable students to carry out practicum and trigger them to develop their higher-order thinking skills. The method used in this research was pre-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. A total of 32 seventh grade students at SMPN 1 Jaten Karang Anyar, Central Java, were randomly selected as the participants in this research. To measure the increase in students' creative thinking skills, a multiple-choice test had been developed based on the indicators of creative thinking skills. Based on the results of data analysis, the values of N-gain on the indicators consisting of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration were 0.56, 0.60, 0.46, and 0.53, respectively. Those numbers meant that creative thinking was in the medium category. Further analysis shows that, by using the POGIL model on the topic of heat and its transfer learning, students’ creative thinking skills can be increased, especially on the indicators of fluency and flexibility.
Mobile Phone Utilization for Learning: Physics Teachers' Perception
Authors: Suyatna Agus
Published: February 2020

The use of mobile phones for learning is still becoming a debate in Indonesia. Many schools forbid their students to bring mobile phones to school. This study was aimed to describe the perceptions of physics teachers in Lampung Province regarding the use of mobile phones to study physics. Data was collected from 39 physics teachers from various districts in Lampung Province. The Likert scale with a range of 1 to 5 was used. Descriptive quantitative data analysis was carried out. The results showed that most teachers agree /strongly agree: (1) to utilize mobile phones in learning physics both inside and outside of the classroom, (2) the tendency of students to use mobile phones make the physics learning process efficient. It could strengthen and improve the quality of the learning process. Almost all physics teachers agree /strongly agree with mobile phones usage, because: (1) it could turn the learning process from teacher-centered into student-centered and from content-oriented learning to process-oriented learning, (2) it could improve efficiency and productivity in the learning process. However, they agreed that the use of mobile phones by students could not replace the teacher's role, so physics teachers needed a more sophisticated concept of cellular learning to be implemented
Attacks on the Random Gamming Code
Authors: Babash A. V.
Published: February 2020

In 1917, Hilbert Vernam patented a top-secret encryption scheme, which at first was called a one-time notepad and later a Vernam cipher. At the time that Vernam proposed this scheme, there was no evidence that it was completely secret, since, in fact, at that time yet there was no idea what the perfect secret of the cipher was. However, about 25 years later, Claude Shannon introduced the definition of perfect secrecy (perfect cipher) and demonstrated that the random gamming cipher reaches this level of security. Cryptographers believe that there are no effective attacks for attacks of random gamming. In particular, there are no effective attacks for the Vernam cipher.

Objective: to justify the fallacy of this proposition to build effective attacks.

Methods: analysis of the relationship between the cipher key and the received encrypted text.

Results: an attack on the plaintext of a random gamming cipher based on a given encrypted text was developed. In addition, there was a suggestion for another attack on the plaintext contents based on the encrypted text. For all attacks, parameters of their complexity are calculated. These results are new. Previously, an attack on the random gamma code was unavailable. The results disprove the opinion that there are no attacks on this cipher.

Practical relevance: firstly, it has become possible to carry out attacks on the random gamming code. Secondly, when using this cipher, it is necessary to strictly limit the length of the message.

Discussion: the idea that there is an effective attack on a random gamming cipher arose in 2002, due to the possibility of introducing a similar concept, in which in a definition of the perfect cipher the plaintext is changed for a key. The first idea in creating attacks is that when the key is long its elements are repeated. The second idea is that attacks on two plaintexts are encrypted with one key. And the main idea was that it is necessary to improve the mathematical model of the Shannon code. Therein, when interpreting the concept of the perfect cipher, we should talk about the cipher model perfection.

The publication place: in the Yandex search engine a query "Perfect ciphers" resulted in 22 million links, on a query "schemes perfectly secret" there were 43 million links. Yandex on the query "random gamming code" gave 13 million results.

Small scale PV systems are mainly used in Distributed Generating systems (DG).The problem with PV DG system is for designing this system high voltage gain need to be required. In order to achieve this high gain we are choosing Grid connected PV system that is large scale Grid connected PV system In Grid connected PV system Power Electronic devices such as converters and inverters are main parts along with PV panels. In our work we have designed a solar PV system with varying irradiation in MATLAB/SIMULINK and enhance its output capacity before its integration with the grid. To design a suitable controller for per phase designed power converter such that it produces better output results than the traditional converter. The controller has to be designed along with buck boost control of DC output from the system instead of designing a whole new and separate control algorithm for inverter. It was concluded that active power output from the system from approximately 1MW in conventional inverter has improved to 12MW in the proposed scheme.
Hybrid U-Shaped-Microbend SMF Evanescent Wave Sensor for River Water Quality Assessment: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Mukhtar Wan Maisarah
Published: February 2020

A hybrid U-shaped-microbend fiber optic evanescent wave sensor was developed by combining two types of bending structures on the optical communication single mode optical fiber (SMF28). To study the effect optical microbending on the output power, corrugated plates consisted of cylindrical structured surface with various distance between the glass rods of 6 cm, 12 cm and 18 cm were constructed. The macrobending effect was introduced by bending the SMF into two shapes, namely U-shaped and Sshaped. The bare SMF with various bending designs were immersed into numerous water sources from Sg. Simin, Sg. Batang Benar and Sg. Klang. The output demonstrated that Sg. Simin was the most polluted river, followed by Sg. Klang and Sg. Batang Benar using U-shaped microbend SMF with distance between glass rod of 6cm and 1310 nm laser source. This result showed an excellent agreement with water quality index (WQI) data released by the Department of Environment (DOE), Malaysia. Maximum optical output power was obtained by using Sg. Simin’s water sample due to better light absorption from the evanescent waves by the pollutant particles, that avoided light leakage in comparison with less polluted water sources. The optimum sensing performance was successfully resulted by using U-shaped SMF due to its durability and uniform evanescent waves radiated from the cladding. In conclusion, the hybrid U-shaped-microbend SMF sensor based on evanescent waves propagation portrays an excellent potential to detect water pollution by monitoring the presence of pollutants around the fiber.

Published: February 2020

Se utiliza una encuesta a empleados de una dependencia federal para examinar, con perspectiva de género, la prevalencia del hostigamiento y del acoso sexual (HAS) en el empleo, personas involucradas, reacciones, repercusiones, denuncia y motivos por los que no interponen denuncias o quejas. El HAS se conceptualiza como una forma de mantener el estatus de género y jerárquico. De 10.3% de las personas que lo han experimentado el último año, la mayoría son mujeres. En comparación con los hombres, las mujeres están expuestas a más conductas y de forma recurrente. En la mayoría de los casos, ellas son acosadas/hostigadas por otros hombres. Las reacciones y estrategias de afrontamiento están en función del sexo y dimensión del HAS. Los afectados adoptan estrategias evasivas. Sólo 3% interpuso queja o denuncia. Una de cada cuatro personas aduce que no tuvo importancia o que no quería arriesgar el trabajo (36% en quid-pro-quo). Se discuten las implicaciones de políticas públicas y futuras investigaciones.
Uma antropologia histórica da Grécia antiga: Gernet e a reinvenção durkheimiana dos estudos helênicos
Authors: Vergara Cerqueira Fábio
Published: February 2020

Em 2017 completou-se o centenário da publicação da tese de doutorado de Louis Gernet, defendida em Paris, intitulada Recherches sur le développement de la pensée juridique et morale en Grèce. Obra inicialmente rejeitada pelo stablishment acadêmico francês, condenando seu autor à marginalidade intelectual, hoje é considerada um turning point nos estudos helênicos, como obra fundante da assim chamada Antropologia histórica da Grécia antiga ou, simplesmente, Antropologia da Grécia antiga. Nosso objetivo neste artigo será analisar a influência, sobre sua obra, da sociologia de Émile Durkheim e de sua escola, possibilitando a reinvenção dos estudos helênicos por parte de Gernet, com a superação dos paradigmas do século XIX, do evolucionismo positivista e do idealismo eurocêntrico inspirado no mito do “milagre grego”. Essa influência pode ser verificada sobretudo no papel conferido por Gernet à permanência dos elementos religiosos.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate SC administration of alfaxalone-midazolam and dexmedetomidine-midazolam for sedation of ball pythons (Python regius).

ANIMALS

12 healthy juvenile ball pythons.

PROCEDURES

In a randomized crossover study, each snake was administered a combination of alfaxalone (5 mg/kg [2.3 mg/lb]) and midazolam (0.5 mg/kg [0.23 mg/lb]) and a combination of dexmedetomidine (0.05 mg/kg [0.023 mg/lb]) and midazolam (0.5 mg/kg), SC, with a washout period of at least 7 days between protocols. Respiratory and heart rates and various reflexes and behaviors were assessed and compared between protocols. Forty-five minutes after protocol administration, sedation was reversed by SC administration of flumazenil (0.05 mg/kg) alone or in combination with atipamezole (0.5 mg/kg; dexmedetomidine-midazolam protocol only). Because of difficulties with visual assessment of respiratory effort after sedative administration, the experiment was repeated for a subset of 3 ball pythons, with plethysmography used to assess respiration.

RESULTS

Both protocols induced a similar level of moderate sedation with no adverse effects aside from transient apnea. Cardiopulmonary depression was more profound, but time to recovery after reversal was significantly shorter, for the dexmedetomidine-midazolam protocol than for the alfaxalone-midazolam protocol. Plethysmographic findings were consistent with visual observations and suggested that snakes compensated for a decrease in respiratory rate by increasing tidal volume amplitude.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that both protocols induced clinically relevant sedation in ball pythons and should be useful for minor procedures such as venipuncture and diagnostic imaging. However, caution should be used when sedating snakes with compromised cardiopulmonary function. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2020;256:573-579
Analysis of Ballast Water Treatment Technologies on Ships Operating in the Baltic Sea Region
Authors: Kalniņa Renāte , Romule Alise
Published: February 2020

The introduction of invasive aquatic species in new environments has been identified as one of the four biggest threats to the world's oceans causing serious threats and harm to both ecology and human health. There is a major exchange of ship’s ballast water over longer distances between continents and regional seas, and it has been known for decades that ballast water transfers organisms to new ecosystems, where the strongest, most aggressive and adaptable species can survive and become invasive under favourable conditions. The focus of the research is to study available ballast water control technologies to determine their suitability and effectiveness in the reduction of harmful aquatic organisms and compounds in the Baltic Sea.
How research on language evolution contributes to linguistics
Authors: Żywiczyński Przemysław
Published: February 2020

Since its inception in the second part of the 20th century, the science of language evolution has been exerting a growing and formative pressure on linguistics. More obviously, given its interdisciplinary character, the science of language evolution provides a platform on which linguists can meet and discuss a variety of problems pertaining to the nature of language and ways of investigating it with representatives of other disciplines and research traditions. It was largely in this way that the attention of linguists was attracted to the study of emerging sign languages and gestures, as well as to the resultant reflection on the way different modalities impact communicative systems that use them. But linguistics also benefits from the findings made by language evolution researchers in the context of their own research questions and methodologies. The most important of these findings come out of the experimental research on bootstrapping communication systems and the evolution of communicative structure, and from mass comparison studies that correlate linguists data with a wide range of environmental variables.
Natural/sexual selection: What’s language (evolution) got to do with it?
Authors: Progovac Ljiljana
Published: February 2020

By considering a specific scenario of early language evolution, here I advocate taking into account one of the most obvious players in the evolution of human language capacity: (sexual) selection. The proposal is based both on an internal reconstruction using syntactic theory, and on comparative typological evidence, directly bringing together, formal, typological, and evolutionary considerations. As one possible test case, transitivity is decomposed into evolutionary primitives of syntactic structure, revealing a common denominator and the building blocks for crosslinguistic variation in transitivity. The approximations of this early grammar, identified by such a reconstruction, while not identical constructs, are at least as good proxies of the earliest stages of grammar as one can find among tools, cave paintings, or bird song. One subtype of such “living fossils” interacts directly with biological considerations of survival, aggression, and mate choice, while others clearly distinguish themselves in fMRI experiments. The fMRI findings are consistent with the proposal that the pressures to be able to master ever more and more complex syntax were at least partly responsible for driving the selection processes which gradually increased the connectivity of the Broca’s-basal ganglia network, crucial for syntactic processing, among other important functions.

The article presents a methodology and results of developing diagnosis related groups (DRGs) for the cases of healthcare provided with the use of radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy for malignant neoplasms in Russian Federation. A key element of the methodology is the standardized module of healthcare (SM) which allows calculating the tariffs for medical care in accordance with clinical guidelines. As a result of the application of the new methodology, in 2019, changes were made to the DRG model in terms of payment for radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. The changes included developing 10 DRGs for in-patient radiotherapy and 10 DRGs in day hospital; 7 DRGs for in-patient chemoradiotherapy and 5 DRGs in day hospital. New classification criteria have been introduced into the DRG model for attributing the case to a certain DRG, in addition to the medical service used before. The number of fractions became a new criterion for radiotherapy, the number of fractions and the international non-proprietary name of the drug were proposed for chemoradiotherapy. A wider range of DRG’s weight coefficients was calculated, which allows more differentiated reimbursement of the costs of medical care provided by medical organizations depending on the method and the regimen used.

PRODUCTIVE EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF THE EU COUNTRIES THROUGH STOCHASTIC FRONTIER MODELS
Authors: Gavilan Jose M. , Ortega Francisco J.
Published: February 2020

In the setting of the Stochastic Frontier Production Models, the productive efficiency of the 28 countries belonging to the European Union is analysed. To this end, panel data encompassing a broad period of time is selected, which facilitates the study into whether there is greater efficiency in the years of crisis as a consequence of the adjustment measures. A translog specification of a Cobb-Douglas model is considered, in which the output is measured through the GDP of the countries and two productive factors (capital and labour). The model also includes a trend component that addresses the possible presence of technological change, and dummy variables for each country in order to separate unobserved heterogeneity from productive inefficiency. In relation to the perturbation that models the inefficiency, a model of the type Battese and Coelli (1995) is considered with a trend component and a variable related to economic growth. Finally, the growth of productivity is decomposed into the sum of the changes in technology, in economies of scale, and in inefficiency.
Is Grit the Key Element to Improve the Life Attitude? A Study with Military Students from Argentina
Authors: Barni María Cecilia , Daura Florencia Teresita
Published: February 2020

The main goal of the study is to analyze the link between Grit and Life Attitude, and its relation with the permanence and academic performance of students from the National Defense University. This paper is mainly focused in the link between the first two constructs. Grit is defined as the passion and constancy to achieving goals, to resisting with effort and interest towards the challenges and difficulties, which is a leader’s attribute (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews y Kelly, 2007). Life Attitude based on the existential belief that life has a purpose, that persons draw meaning from a variety of sources: recreational and creative activities, personal relationships, achievements (Reker - Woo, 2011). A non-probabilistic sample was formed, for convenience, of 162 students; a sociodemographic questionnaire designed ad hoc; the Scale of Determination (Grit Scale) (Duckworth et al., 2007), which is in the process of validation (Tortul and Daura, in evaluation) and the Life Attitude Test (LAP-R (VE-AA)) in the Spanish adaptation of Barni (2017) were administered. Statistical analysis were made from the collected data, in order to corroborate if there were differences in the variables. The first results showed differences according to career and sociodemographic variables; the undergraduate students obtained higher scores in the positive dimensions of the LAP-R than in other researches made in the same geographical context. The work evidences data of interest in the training of defense professionals, for the decision making in the educational style necessary for an integral formation as a lifelong process.
“Ethno-Inclusion – Ethno-Exclusion” as a Dualistic Model of Cross-Cultural Adaptation in the University Educational Environment
Authors: Pokrovskaya E. , Raitina M.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of overcoming the contradiction between the requirements of society for inclusion in the ethno-social educational environment and providing comfortable intercultural communication. Therefore, the goal is to study "ethno-inclusion – ethno-exclusion" as a dual model of cross-cultural interaction. The study is presented as an area of scientific reflection describing the situation of interethnic interaction in the socio-cultural environment and revealing the behavioral vectors of the individual, allowing characterizing the current communicative situation in terms of the impact of extremism and negative socio-cultural transformations. The empirical base is the research conducted by the method of questioning of Tomsk state University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics (TUSUR) students in 2017. As a methodological basis adapted by the authors’ version of the method "Types of ethnic identity" G. U. Soldatova, S. V. Ryzhova was chosen. The dominant type, according to the results of surveys, was the type of "norm", suggesting an optimal balance of tolerance towards their own and other ethnic groups. The article presents the models of behavioral vectors correlating with the stages of cross-cultural adaptation process according to M. J. Bennett, that allows us to consider in detail the structure of positive ethnic identity (norm). Positive ethnic identity (norm), represented by the successive development of ethno-relativistic stages of perception of another culture, in its maximum value is defined as the stage of "integration", which is fixed among senior students. The functional stages of "recognition" and "adaptation" is of a transit nature and has fluctuating properties. In the analysis of ethnic identity, it is necessary to focus on the conceptual difference between them, integration as a normative form of cultural existence implies the presence of multiculturalism, a polyvariant image of the world and the multidimensionality of personal experience. The authors rely on their own system of indicators of the quality of the ethno-social educational environment. The materials of this article lay the foundations of interdisciplinary approaches to the formation of theoretical and methodological support of "ethno-inclusion" in the University environment and can be used in the educational process in the preparation of courses on intercultural communication, cultural studies, psychology, philosophy and other fields of knowledge related to the construction of a comfortable environment of cross-cultural interaction.

It explores the cultural violence against women before and after the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis, and after the independency of South Sudan. This argument is presented through an analysis of existing literature and documents; and through interviews with 341 respondents (166 men and 175 women) belonging to the Rwandan diaspora in Belgium and in Finland; and 420 participants (302 females and 118 males) married, divorced, single mothers in South Sudan. The results show that women and girls in South Sudan continue to be at risk of violence from cultural impact more than Rwandan women. Poverty, education, and insecurity play a huge role in promoting aggression against South Sudanese women.
Oxidative Photocatalytic Homo- and Cross-Coupling of Phenols: Non-Enzymatic, Catalytic Method for Coupling Tyrosine

Published: February 2020

The first, oxidative photocatalytic method for phenol-phenol homo-coupling and cross-coupling is described and isolated yields of up to 97% are obtained. Measured oxidation potentials and computed nucleophilicity parameters are consistent with a nucleophilic attack of one partner onto the oxidized radical form of the other partner. Understanding of this model permitted development of cross-coupling reactions between nucleophilic phenols/arenes and easily oxidized phenols in high selectivity and efficiency. A highlight of this method is that one equivalent of each coupling partner is utilized. Building on these findings, the first non-enzymatic, catalytic method for coupling tyrosine was developed.
Both Configuration and QM Region Size Matter: Zinc Stability in QM/MM Models of DNA Methyltransferase
Authors: Mehmood Rimsha , Kulik Heather
Published: February 2020

Quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (QM/MM) methods are essential to the study of metalloproteins, but the relative importance of sampling and degree of QM treatment in achieving quantitative predictions is poorly understood. We study the relative magnitude of configurational and QM-region sensitivity of energetic and electronic properties in a representative Zn2+metal binding site of a DNA methyltransferase. To quantify property variations, we analyze snapshots extracted from 250 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. To understand the degree of QM-region sensitivity, we perform analysis using QM regions ranging from a minimal 49-atom region consisting only of the Zn2+metal and its four coordinating Cys residues up to a 628-atom QM region that includes residues within 12 Å of the metal center. Over the configurations sampled, we observe that illustrative properties (e.g., rigid Zn2+removal energy) exhibit large fluctuations that are well captured with even minimal QM regions. Nevertheless, for both energetic and electronic properties, we observe a slow approach to asymptotic limits with similarly large changes in absolute values that converge only with larger (ca. 300-atom) QM region sizes. For the smaller QM regions, the electronic description of Zn2+binding is incomplete: the metal binds too tightly, is too stabilized by the strong electrostatic potential of MM point charges, and the Zn-S bond covalency is overestimated. Overall, this work suggests that efficient sampling with QM/MM in small QM regions is an effective method to explore the influence of enzyme structure on target properties. At the same time, accurate descriptions of electronic and energetic properties require a larger QM region than the minimal metal-coordinating residues in order to converge treatment of both metal-local bonding and the overall electrostatic environment.
The iron–sulfur helicase DDX11 promotes the generation of single-stranded DNA for CHK1 activation

The iron–sulfur (FeS) cluster helicase DDX11 is associated with a human disorder termed Warsaw Breakage Syndrome. Interestingly, one disease-associated mutation affects the highly conserved arginine-263 in the FeS cluster-binding motif. Here, we demonstrate that the FeS cluster in DDX11 is required for DNA binding, ATP hydrolysis, and DNA helicase activity, and that arginine-263 affects FeS cluster binding, most likely because of its positive charge. We further show that DDX11 interacts with the replication factors DNA polymerase delta and WDHD1. In vitro, DDX11 can remove DNA obstacles ahead of Pol δ in an ATPase- and FeS domain-dependent manner, and hence generate single-stranded DNA. Accordingly, depletion of DDX11 causes reduced levels of single-stranded DNA, a reduction of chromatin-bound replication protein A, and impaired CHK1 phosphorylation at serine-345. Taken together, we propose that DDX11 plays a role in dismantling secondary structures during DNA replication, thereby promoting CHK1 activation.

Abstrak : Kinerja merupakan hasil kerja yang dilakukan oleh karyawan sesuai dengan jabatan masing-masing dalam periode waktu tertentu, yang memberikan dampak terhadap pencapaian tujuan organisasi yang telah ditetapkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor penyebab kinerja karyawan yang kurang baik dan untuk menganalisis keterkaitan antara faktor-faktor penyebab yang berkaitan dengan permasalahan kinerja antara satu penyebab dangan penyebab lain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor penyebab satu masalah dengan masalah lain adalah faktor beban kerja karena banyaknya mata kuliah yang diampu oleh dosen luar yang mengakibatkan keterlambatan penyerahan soal ujian dan keterlambatan penginputan nilai. Faktor disiplin diri karena manajemen waktu yang mengakibatkan ketidaktepatan pelaporan pangkalan pendidikan tinggi. Faktor kepemimpinan karena pimpinan jarang di tempat mengakibatkan keterlambatan pendisposisian surat masuk dan pembayaran honor kegiatan, perjalanan dinas dan supervisi praktek dibayarkan terlalu lama. Faktor pengawasan dan manajemen waktu karena lupa dan pola kerja mengakibatkan dosen tidak mengisi jurnal. Faktor pengawasan dan koordinasi karena harus adanya konfirmasi kehadiran dosen ke dosen yang bersangkutan sehingga terjadi ketidaktepatan waktu perekapan presensi dosen. Faktor scheduling karena masih ada perkuliahan satu minggu sebelum ujian mengakibatkan terjadinya keterlambatan presensi mahasiswa.   Faktor manajemen waktu, scheduling dan beban kerja karena banyaknya kegiatan dosen mengakibatkan keterlambatan penyerahan rancangan pertemuan perkuliahan dan perubahan jadual perkuliahan. Beban dosen mengajar tinggi banyaknya libur mengakibatkan perubahan jadual perkuliahan.
