Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Jung Hee Sun , Song Ha Na
Published: January 2021

This study detects heterogeneous latent classes and their models applying REBUS-PLS analysis based on the path model of math interest, math perception and math achievement using TIMSS 2015 8th grade data of Korea, under the context that the influence of related factors on the achievement of mathematics is different. As post-hoc analysis, the distribution for latent classes as dependent variables is analyzed by using math self-confidence and engaged math-learning as predictors. According to the analysis results, two latent classes were captured, and the math-interest oriented class and the math-perception oriented class were named. As a result of post-hoc analysis, CHAID analysis showed that students with high self-confidence in mathematics were distributed in the math-perception oriented class at a high proportion, while those with low self-confidence in mathematics were distributed in the math-interest oriented class at a high proportion. Next, under the classification by math self-confidence, students with more engaged math-learning in both high confidence and low confidence group were more distributed in math interest oriented class, and the less engaged math-learning, in math perception oriented class. This study presented a new method of research on school mathematics by applying the REBUS-PLS analysis method to detecting unit segments based on the path model.

Authors: Zhou Weijie , Yao Dongsheng , Bai Weibin
Published: January 2021

Glucosidase is one of the most important hydrolases in the carbohydrate metabolism pathway in human body. It is noteworthy that glucosidase was raising high attention in numerous researches, attributed to its functional values and biological activities. The expression, secretion, extraction, purification, and quantitative analysis of glucosidase occupies an important position in the research of glucosidase. The Pichia pastoris expression system has been developed for 50 years. With its unique advantages, the expression system has successfully expressed hundreds of heterologous proteins. This article briefly describes the process of high‐efficiency expression, extraction and purification of glucosidase in the P. pastoris expression system, focusing on the expression, separation and purification of glucosidase in P. pastoris, as well as the quantitative and activity analysis methods of glucosidase. Affinity chromatography is used for the separation and purification of crude enzyme solution, and UV–visible spectroscopy can be used for enzyme quantification and activity analysis.
(Per)forming Open Form: A Case Study with Earle Brown’s Novara
Authors: Andersen Drake
Published: January 2021

Most accounts of Earle Brown’s open form compositions focus on the notated qualities of individual events in the score. However, the conductor’s role in ensuring continuity and formal coherence within a performance is rarely acknowledged. In this article, I analyze recordings of three performances of Brown conducting his composition Novara (1962), two with the Virtuoso Ensemble in 1966 and one with a group of Dutch musicians in 1974. The conductor’s interventions in each performance embody a range of strategies used to suggest structural function and organize the time of performance. The multiplicity of musical processes in play within—and between—performances in turn suggests a parallel with Jonathan Kramer’s concept of multiply-directed linear time.

Computer-aided Analysis of Sonority in the French Motet Repertory, ca. 1300–1350
Authors: Desmond Karen , Hopkins Emily , Howes Samuel , Cumming Julie E.
Published: January 2021

This article analyzes the distribution of three- and four-voice vertical sonorities in a repertoire of French ars antiqua and ars nova motets. Rather than selecting the subjectively important sonorities within a piece—an effort that would rely on the analyst’s judgment of the overarching contrapuntal goals—this study uses computational musicological methods to analyze and categorize the distribution of sonorities across individual motets and groups of motets that occur at regular time intervals across the course of the compositions. This study offers some preliminary observations and conclusions about sonority usage in the late medieval French motet repertoire.
Analyzing Schoenberg’s War Compositions as Satire and Sincerity: A Comparative Analysis of Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte and A Survivor from Warsaw
Authors: Park Joon
Published: January 2021

This paper presents a comparative analysis of Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte op. 41 (1942) and A Survivor from Warsaw op. 46 (1947) to show that Schoenberg’s compositional decisions for each piece reflect the public’s (and his) change of attitude regarding the historical events surrounding World War II. In particular, I argue that Ode frequently features humorous depiction of the Nazi regime through various types of musical satire whereas Survivor’s overall compositional planning and execution are more in line with his other compositions without a satirical tone, for example, the String Trio op. 45. The analyses in this paper show humorous elements in Schoenberg’s Ode to Napoleon and demonstrate how these elements are avoided in Survivor from Warsaw to make space for the sincere criticism of the Nazi party and to raise awareness for the survivors. I begin by interpreting satirical passages in Ode as instances of incongruent juxtapositions and then examine the different ways the incongruence manifests. I then discuss the leitmotivic partitioning of various twelve-tone row forms in Survivor to show the compositional congruence between the text, musical textures, and partitioning schemes. Given the change of compositional mood between Ode and Survivor (in addition to the historical evidence), this paper speculates that Schoenberg’s motivation for composing Survivor was to rectify the narrative tone he adopted in Ode.
Law Enforcement Agencies in Disaster Response in Nepal: Analyzing the Competency of the Nepal Police and the Armed Police Force
Authors: B. Malla S. , K. Dahal R. , S. Hasegawa
Published: January 2021

Although Nepal Police and Armed Police Force are the key responding tools of disaster response in Nepal, their response competency does not suffice the need for effective response. Applying quantitative research methodology, this research has in-depth investigated the fundamental and technical knowledge, and preparedness activities of such police personnel. Ultimately it was discovered that their knowledge and preparedness are not adequate to meet the need. On the other hand, the practice of the usage of disaster untrained police personnel in response operations is prevalent in the country. And this tendency is not only risking the life of the disaster victims but also putting the responders’ lives at stake. Amidst such bleakness, during the investigation, the perception of the police personnel on their engagement in disaster response was found highly aspiring. Indeed this tendency will work as the force multiplier if their capacity is enhanced properly. The study has further investigated that the lethargic national investment in the disaster response capacity building process is the fundamental problem in terms of the competency building process. Heavy reliance on foreign aids and national and international non-government agencies has not only increased the dependency on capacity building process but also mired the national mechanism turning responsible authorities and institutions lethargic.

Authors: Le Thi Diem Chau , Nguyen Duy Duc , Oláh Judit , Pakurár Miklós
Published: January 2021

This study describes a pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem, considering time windows in reality. The problem of tractor truck routes is formulated by a mixed integer programming model. Besides this, three algorithms - a guided local search, a tabu search, and simulated annealing - are proposed as solutions. The aims of our study are to optimize the number of internal tractor trucks used, and create optimal routes in order to minimize total logistics costs, including the fixed and variable costs of an internal vehicle group and the renting cost of external vehicles. Besides, our study also evaluates both the quality of solutions and the time to find optimal solutions to select the best suitable algorithm for the real problem mentioned above. A novel mathematical model is formulated by OR tools for Python. Compared to the current solution, our results reduced total costs by 18%, increased the proportion of orders completed by internal vehicles (84%), and the proportion of orders delivered on time (100%). Our study provides a mathematical model with time constraints and large job volumes for a complex distribution network in reality. The proposed mathematical model provides effective solutions for making decisions at logistics companies. Furthermore, our study emphasizes that simulated annealing is a more suitable algorithm than the two others for this vehicle routing problem.

This research aims to analyze and explain hegemonic social relation in outsourcing practice in Makassar city concerning; (1) the causes of hegemonic social relation among actorss of user, provider and laborer, (2) the patterns and types of hegemonic social relation, and (3) the social and economic impacts of hegemonic social relation. This research employs the kind of descriptive research with qualitative approach. The result of this study gives more clear and deeper describe concerning many kinds of meaning which are behind the fact so that this research uses phenomenological method with perspective interpretative. While the phenomenon is outsourcing practice in Makassar city. The result of this research shows that the social relation among actors user, provider and laborer in outsourcing practice in Makassar city is not just an ordinary economic relation but it is a veiled power relation which constructs a hegemonic social relation. The hegemonic social relation is caused by some factors, namely; (a) unlimited authority owned by user, (b) closed management applicated by provider, (c) laborer’s less bargaining position, and (d) lost government intervention. The four causes create the patterns and types of hegemonic social relation in outsourcing practice, namely; (1) absolute hegemony by user toward provider and laborer like, job outsourcing (job transfer), job responsibility transfer, and the use of manpower and more work time, (2) semi-hegemony by provider toward laborer by action of transferring laborer from one user to others, and (3) absolute hegemonized toward laborer by both user and provider through the use of laborer’s work power by user, outsourcing of laborer from one user to others done by provider. the fact, outsourcing practice benefits the captilists (user and provider), on the contrary, it harms the laborer.
ZFHX2 is a differentially expressed gene in human metastatic breast cancer, in the brain and in the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the zinc finger homeobox 2, encoded by ZFHX2, also known as zinc finger protein 409 (ZNF409) was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. ZFHX2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of ZFHX2 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of ZFHX2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain while evading immune clearance in the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. These data are one piece of evidence suggesting a common ancestor or tumor clone for brain and lymph node metastases that originate from the primary tumor, alluding to patterns in developmental origin and migratory pathways through the lymph node in human brain metastatic breast cancer.

Banyak pekerjaan yang ditekuni oleh seseorang, ada yang karena hobi, ada yang berdasarkan kemampuannya, ada yang karena menganggap pekerjaan itu mudah, ada pula yang karena terpaksa menekuni pekerjaan tersebut demi menyambung hidupnya. Namun, bagaimana dengan pekerjaan sebagai guru? jika dilihat dari kacamata masyarakat, pekerjaan sebagai guru banyak direndahkan dan diremehkan. Apalagi jika guru tersebut masih berstatus honorer dengan gaji yang rendah setiap bulannya. Hal ini tentu membuat banyak orang berpikir ulang jika ingin menjadi seorang guru. Padahal ini adalah salah satu pekerjaan yang mulia. Sampai sering terdengar di telinga masyarakat sebuah pernyataan “Guru adalah pahlawan tanpa tanda jasa”, yang tugasnya adalah mendidik dan mencerdaskan anak bangsa. Tetapi, ternyata hal tersebut tidak membuat guru terlalu dihargai oleh masyarakat dan dianggap pekerjaannya tidak selevel dengan dokter, polisi, pilot, pengusaha, dan lainnya. Hal inilah yang menjadi salah satu penyebab yang membuat guru kurang semangat dalam proses pembelajaran yang tentunya membutuhkan kreatifitas dan keinovatifan. Apalagi dalam kondisi pandemi Covid-19 ini, kratifitas dan keinovatifan seorang guru sangat dibutuhkan saat pembelajaran daring (dalam jaringan) berlangsung, agar pembelajaran efektif, efisien, dan tujuan pembelajaran pun tercapai. Maka dari itu, guru dituntut untuk kreatif dan inovatif walaupun dengan banyak tantangan dalam segala hal yang ada di pundaknya.

Keterlibatan interaksi sosial (hubungan sosial yang dinamis) dalam suatu sistem polietnik, ditelaah dan dianalisis dengan model “contigency linkage”, yakni keterkaitan interaksi sosial (hubungan sosial yang dinamis) dengan pemberlakuan nilai dan norma, sistem jaringan medan sosial, dan keberadaan individu kreatif. Model analisis mengenai keterkaitan antara interaksi sosial dengan transformasi struktur merupakan hubungan yang bersifat “stokastik” dengan konsep utama yakni struktur dan fungsi. Kedua konsep ini merupakan komponen dari perspektif fungsional (acuan teori modernisasi) yang diperluas dengan pendekatan jaringan dan sistem berperan dalam menyelusuri masalah perubahan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survei deskriptif analitik dan sifat penelitian adalah menerangkan (eksplanation) ditunjang oleh pendekatan kualitatif-kuantitatif yang bertujuan menguji hipotesis penelitian dengan desain korelasi dan uji pengaruh. Unit analisis tingkat pembina adalah pimpinan kecamatan, aparat kelu-rahan, ketua RW, ketua RT, tokoh masyarakat sebagai informasi kunci termasuk tokoh-tokoh komunitas lain yang keseluruhannya berada dan berdomisili di lokasi penelitian. Observasi terbatas maka penarikan sampel berdasarkan teknik proporsional random sampling (pengamatan), wawancara dengan kuesioner dan wawancara bebas (daftar pertanyaan). Analisis data dilakukan dalam dua bentuk, yakni secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil telaahan kualitatif dan kuantitatif mengenai pemberlakuan nilai dan norma, sifat sistem jaringan sosial, individu kreatif ternyata berpengaruh nyata terhadap interaksi sosial yang ditunjukkan melalui hubungan yang dinamis. Secara khusus makna pemberlakuan nilai dan norma lebih mengacu pada ciri kepribadian dan nilai moral komunitas lokal. Perlakuan jaringan sosial sejalan dengan rapat longgarnya jaringan lokal yang bermuatan tradisi dan emosional. Oleh karena itu, komitmen terhadap piranti baru selalu diikuti dengan keinginan memelihara tatanan.

Closed-loop updating of wind turbine models using blade pitch excitation
Authors: Schwarz-Wolf Bo Marcel , Ulriksen Martin Dalgaard , Augustyn Dawid , Jensen Martin Skovmand , Pedersen Ronnie Refstrup
Published: January 2021

Structural monitoring of wind turbines often involves the use of a numerical model, which must be regularly updated to yield an adequate representation of the governing dynamics. The model updating can be cast as an inverse problem, in which selected model parameters are estimated by minimizing the discrepancy between experimental target poles and model-predicted ones. An issue that may prevail in this setting is that the problem will be ill-posed, because the number of model parameters to be updated exceeds the number of target poles. The noted issue can be remedied by a virtual implementation of output feedback, which allows for computation of multiple closed-loop (CL) eigenstructures through non-linear transformations of the open-loop transfer matrix. The present paper offers an application study, in which virtual output feedback is used for updating numerical wind turbine models based on CL system poles. In particular, we explore the feasibility of employing the excitation stemming from the blade pitch control system as the input in the open-loop input-output realization required in the virtual output feedback. The methodological concept is outlined, and subsequently the applicability of the procedure is tested numerically in the context of simulations with a finite element model of a parked wind turbine. The preliminary findings suggest that procedures for customizing the pitch excitation to yield sufficient system excitation are required for the CL model updating to be feasible.
Hyper-altruistic behavior vanishes with high stakes
Authors: Branas-Garza Pablo , Jorrat Diego Andrés , Kovarik Jaromir , Lopez Maria C
Published: January 2021

Using a powered and incentivized experiment, this paper explores the role of stakes in charitable giving of lottery prizes, where subjects commit to donate a fraction of the prize before they learn the outcome of the lottery. We study three stake levels: 5€ (n = 177), 100€ (n = 168), and 1,000€ (n = 171). We find that individuals decrease the donated fraction of the pie as the stakes increase. However, people still share roughly 20% of 1,000€, an amount as high as the average monthly salary of people at the age of our subjects. We further report that the number of people sharing 50% of the pie is remarkably stable across stakes but donating the whole pie -the modal behavior in charity-donation experiments- disappears with stakes. Such hyper-altruistic behavior thus seems to be an artifact of the stakes typically employed in economic and psychological experiments. Our findings point out that sharing with others is a prevalent human feature, but stakes are an important determinant of sharing and policies frequently promoted via prosocial frames (such as stressing the effects of mask-wearing or social distancing on others during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic or environmentally-friendly behaviors on future generations) may thus be miscalibrated if they disregard the stakes at play.

En este artículo se reflexiona a través de un proyecto de investigación diagnóstica (Análisis de necesidades en informática educativa para capacitación y desarrollo pedagógico) la necesidad de considerar que si bien es cierto la apropiación de recursos para inversión en infraestructura es importante, no es menos esencial la inversión en capacitación y en la formación del perfil docente en pedagogía e investigación para que estas se constituyan en la base del conocimiento y fundamentación pedagógica proveniente de la aplicación de la tecnología de la información en educación.
Entre la tecnología de la información y la pedagogía
Authors: Benavides Jorge E
Published: January 2021

Este artículo presenta el conflicto que se genera entre la las nuevas tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (NTIC) y el campo de la pedagogía como eje central del conocimiento y del quehacer docentes. Se presentan las caracteristicas de este conflicto iniciado por los cambios tecnológicos que son cada vez más rápidos en la gran mayoría de los ámbitos del quehacer humanos y esta aceleración de la historia que estamos viviendo, síntoma, causa y efecto de la globalización, en todas sus vertientes. Esto ha provocado que la sociedad demande crecientemente que la historia se reescriba. Así el papel que juega la educación en un contexto global crece en relación con las tendencias nacionales e internacionales, gracias a las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación y a los procesos de integración transnacional en el terreno económico, político, cultural y académico.

Working Paper - Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health, UNESCO Chair on Youth Leadership, Aga Khan University, Kenya. Background: Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Kenya is frequently covered in digital news media. As a powerful influencer of public opinion, news media coverage can have a significant societal impact. This scoping review identifies the extent, nature, and themes of all available digital news media coverage on SGBV in Kenya from June 2019 to July 2020. It analyzes changes in coverage since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The methodological framework for scoping reviews developed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) guided the scoping review. The selected articles were analyzed using NVivo.Results: Analysis of the 340 included articles indicates clear trends in news media coverage on SGBV in Kenya. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, trends include high numbers of news reports, feature articles, and opinion pieces on SGBV, female genital mutilation (FGM) as the most covered form of SGBV, and opinion pieces in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 agenda. Since the implementation of the COVID-19 mitigation measures in Kenya, trends include an increase in news media coverage on SGBV, extensive reporting on the causes of the rise in SGBV cases in Kenya, and increased media attention for domestic and sexual violence.Conclusions: Analysis of the news media coverage demonstrates the health advocacy/agenda-setting role of the media. The increased reporting on SGBV since the implementation of the COVID-19 mitigation measures could facilitate broad-based awareness.
Translocality/Methodology. The Americas, or Experiencing the World
Authors: Jędrzejko Paweł
Published: January 2021

The Americas offer a peculiar stage for translocal methodologies. If we agree that the products of Chinese American culture—which, in the course of the last 170 years of interaction, has evolved into a unique, American, phenomenon—can not be labeled as “Made in China,” then contemporary Chinese medicine in the Americas cannot legitimately be perceived solely as an ‘import.’ Beyond doubt, phenomena such as the emergence of the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the California Institute of Integral Studies testify to the fact that the once ‘exotic’ forms of therapy are now being granted a status parallel to those developed throughout the history of Western medicine. Increasingly, as translocal, they are becoming recognized as non-foreign elements of the glocal culture. Similarly, the exploration of the physical world, which, to an experienced dancer of Bharatanatyam, Odissi, or any other of the dominant forms of the classical Indian dance is an obvious function of his or her own experience of the ‘body-in-the-world,’ has, translocally, opened up an altogether new space of profound understanding of ourselves in our environment. It is not about the fashionable, politically correct, ‘openness to other cultures’; it is about the opening up to a parallel meditative experience of the “bodymind,” which neither excludes nor isolates the sphere of emotions from the reality of what-is-being-experienced. Or, to express it in terms more easily comprehensible to a Western reader, dance may prove to be a methodology (not just a method) serving the purpose of a more profound understanding of the complexity and unity of the universe, and a language to express this understanding. Making the most of available traditions might produce much greater benefits than remaining locked within just one, Western, Anglonormative, library of concepts. In the context of the ongoing debate on transnational American Studies, the article offers an insight into how the worldwide studies of the Americas and translocality intersect, and how such a perspective may contribute to the multifaceted process of the decolonization, understood both literally and intellectually.

‘Higher Laws’ and ‘Divine Madness’: Transnational and Translocal Configurations of Quixotic In/Sanity in the American Renaissance
Authors: Bakratcheva Albena
Published: January 2021

The New England Transcendentalists deliberately chose a position which by definition did not belong to what was to them the common “prosaic mood” (Thoreau) of their time. Their choice was the result of representatively romantic discontent with their contemporary reality and, at the same time, through the vigorous drive of the Puritan spiritual leadership, it was essentially anachronistic. The sophisticated delight of identifying with such a doubly anomalous nonconformist ideal only intensified the need for counterbalancing the prosaic sanity of the real world with a wished-for poetic insanity, or “madness from the gods” (Emerson). Such “madness by romantic identification” whose “features have been fixed once and for all by Cervantes” (Foucault), naturally caused “Quixotic confusion” between reality and imagination and the substitution of the true with the fabulous. Though peculiarly intensified in the former Puritan context and in the context of ‘Americanness’ in which the nineteenth century New England intellectuals placed it, the problem was far from being merely a local, New England-centered, phenomenon. This paper argues that in their ‘in/sane’ Quixotic quest for perfection, which caused a series of personal failures, the New England Transcendentalists were remarkably faithful saunterers in a blessed place that, to them, was both America and, at the same time, the all-encompassing perennial—translocal and transnational—world, inviting them to establish what Emerson called “an original relation to the universe.”
