Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Pang JeongSuk , Kim Leena
Published: December 2024

While there are many studies on elementary school students' functional thinking, there is a lack of research that focuses on the core concept of covariation. The purpose of this study is to present a case study of teaching covariation to fifth-grade students using perimeter and area of polygons. Three lessons were conducted in the first semester of fifth grade, following the study of rules and correspondences in Unit 3 and the perimeter and area of polygons in Unit 6. The first lesson was about exploring and expressing changes in perimeters as the length of a side of a square changes, and the other lessons were about exploring and expressing changes in area of a polygon. In these lessons, we provided tasks that naturally built on perimeter and area to see if elementary students could understand covariations and variables. As a result, students were able to understand the situations in which two quantities change simultaneously and to represent the change of two quantities in various ways. Students also used the given function table to reason about the relationship between two quantities, making it easier to perceive and represent relationships between expressions. Based on these findings, this study discussed implications for the teaching of covariation to elementary school students.

Identifikasi Hukum Tajwid pada Citra Teks Al Quran menggunakan SSD MobileNet v2
Authors: Kurniawardhani Arrie , Fathurrahman Ihya
Published: December 2024

Tajweed contains a set of rules for reciting the Qur'an correctly. These rules must be complied with to ensure each letter is pronounced accurately. Arabic script and language compose the Qur'an, yet not all readers are fluent in Arabic. Tajweed serves as a guide to prevent readers from making mistakes when reciting the Qur'an that could alter the meaning. However, Tajweed rules are quite numerous and diverse, causing readers to struggle in memorizing these rules. To address this issue, a preliminary development of a Quran reading assistance system will be established, focusing on detecting Tajweed rules in images of Quranic text. SSD MobileNet v2, a Deep Learning technique for object detection, will be utilized for detecting Tajweed rules. The development of the Tajweed rule identification model begins with the data collection stage by capturing screens of the Al-Quran text pages from the Kemenag Qur'an Application. A total of 520 collected data were divided into 80:10:10 for training, validation, and test data, respectively. All data were subsequently annotated and enclosed in bounding boxes using the tool labelImg. The pre-trained model, SSD MobileNet V2 FPNLite 320x320, was used as the initial weight configuration of the model. Then the identification model was constructed during the training stage using training and validation data. The reliability of the constructed model was tested using test data. The test results indicated that the model could successfully recognize two Tajwid rules, Mad Aridlisukun and Mad Layyin, achieving the minimum loss around 0.15 and the maximum precision around 0.96.
Remains of Dark Days: The Architectural Heritage of Oratorian Missionary Churches in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayasinghe Sagara
Published: December 2024

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, the island of Sri Lanka was witness to the conversion to Catholicism of a large group of communities located mainly along the seacoast, where the Portuguese established their commercial networks. The Dutch occupation of Sri Lanka in the mid-17th century brought the decline of most of the Catholic churches built by the Portuguese. However, the resistance of the Catholic communities enabled the arrival of the members of the Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri – formally known as Oratorians – in the latter years of the 17th century.

St. Joseph Vaz founded the Oratorian mission in Sri Lanka after entering the island in 1687. The Oratorians established a new architectural tradition, adapted to the temporal and spiritual needs of the native Catholic population. This “Oratorian model”, along with the entire context in which it emerged, is unique to Sri Lanka. It is the inimitable achievement of an Asian missionary Catholic congregation, unparalleled in the wider history of Christian architecture. The Oratorian model privileges a particular experience of religious space, different from the ones favoured by other Christian denominations in the island. Today, however, the architectural traditions established over three centuries through various forms of Indo-Portuguese influence are being swept away, despite the antiquity of the churches and their historical, cultural and artistic value. Accordingly, the safeguarding of these lesser-known pieces of cultural heritage has become a vital need. Otherwise, they will vanish forever…

Editorial - ICPE 2022 Part 2
Authors: Debs John
Published: December 2024

This is part 6 of a Special Issue, celebrating The International Conference on Physics Education which was held online in late 2022. This series of three articles spans a range of work in physics education across Europe, South America, and Australia. Two broad topics are covered: Tools of interest to teachers, and; studies that relate to the education of teachers.
 In support of teachers, Kellner focusses on how to quickly make effective videos and online lectures to support content delivery. It is well known that flipped classroom approaches to physics teaching leads to more effective learning outcomes than traditional didactic delivery. Yet, many organisations continue to deliver physics via traditional lectures with low attendance and automatic recordings. A key aspect to this work is the fast production of videos – and often cited hurdle to topic coordinators deciding to create video content; and this will be of interest to those teachers in both the higher and secondary education sectors.
The other two contributions look at two very different but equally important aspects of physics-teacher education. Gejdošová and Velmovská focus on the critical role feedback plays in helping pre-service physics teachers build good practice around lesson planning – an activity which plays a significant role in both the teacher and pupil experience, especially early in their teaching career. A notable result from this work is that a single well-targeted piece of assessment feedback is all that is needed to significantly improve student lesson plans, while further feedback does not statistically improve their performance; implying best practice is quickly learned.
Finally, Aguiar and Nardi’s work focuses on the interesting and broadly relevant cultural phenomenon of how diverse belief systems impact classroom conversations in science, focussing on the topic of ‘origins of the universe’. They importantly find that teachers do not feel well equipped to manage culturally diverse beliefs (e.g. religion), at least in their study population within São Paulo, Brazil. While their sample size is relatively small, the results are perhaps unsurprising and interesting to those considering pre-service science teacher education, particularly in countries where religion and diverse belief systems play a significant role in public conversations and discourse.
I thank the authors, reviewers, and conference organisers for their thoughtful and careful contributions to ICPE2022 and this special issue, and hope you the reader find these articles useful, and thought provoking.
Cost-efficient electromagnetically-actuated rotational adaptive mirror design
Authors: Alzaydi Ammar
Published: December 2024

This article showcases the innovative use of polymers, reflective polyester, and various flexible films to develop adaptable rotational mirrors. These mirrors employ rotation as a mechanism to amend images tainted by surface inconsistencies. Made with a self-standing Mylar polyester film, the mirror spans 120mm and has a 1mm thickness. Electromagnetic actuation, coupled with a magnetic electrode matrix underneath, allows for the mirror surface's modulation, adjusting the focal point. The inherent mechanical characteristics of the Mylar film mean minimal deflection is necessary for focal changes, heightening the mirror's adaptability and electromagnetic sensitivity. Additionally, the construction process remains uncomplicated and cost-effective. The mirror prototype is designed with two analogous membranes that rotate in harmony around their midpoint, ensuring uniform distribution of the electromagnetic deflection forces. This mirror's functionality was effectively proven by its capability to rectify and refocus images. Distinctly, the mirror boasts rotational dynamics, a partitioned surface to diminish the influence of surface irregularities, and the proficiency to reshape its curvature and focal point in motion. Such innovations are ideal for MEMS devices, aiming for cost efficiency while working with less pristine reflective surfaces.

Published: December 2024

Passive ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification systems (UHF RFID) have become essential components of contemporary logistics in various industries. They play a crucial role in facilitating critical operations such as asset tracking, inventory management and supply chain optimization. However, the effectiveness of these systems depends heavily on the design and efficiency of the antennas used. Therefore, this paper aims to improve the efficiency of a passive UHF RFID antenna by adopting a microstrip patch design. The proposed antenna comprises a rectangular patch with a looped slot printed on a slim single-layer dielectric substrate. To optimize performance, a comprehensive parametric study is carried out using the CST simulator with the objective of increasing the gain while reducing the overall antenna. As a result is a miniaturised slot antenna design with a total size of 87×85×0.9 mm3 and a gain of 4.14 dBi at 894.4 MHz frequency. This result will contribute to the advancement of passive UHF RFID antennas and create opportunities for enhanced detection reliability in relevant applications while simultaneously reducing system costs.

This article represents the first part of a research essay on debates in classical Arab-Muslim Philology and Theology regarding the lexical origin of the name Allah, its semantics and theological/terminological definition, with primordiate attention to the relevant Kalam-Atharite controversy around the essence of divinity and its “most specific characteristics” (akhass wasf). This part verifies antagonistic evidence about the dominant view on derivation, and highlights the arguments and counter-arguments of both parts, supporters and opponents of the thesis about the driveability (ishtiqāq) of the God’s name. The research provides a fairly complete list of the developed versions of its etymology classifi ed into four headings: derived from ilāh (eleven options), from wilāh (five options), from lāh (fi ve options) and from hu (one option).
A health researcher’s gentle introduction to quantum computing
Authors: Hulman Adam
Published: December 2024

The quantum race is on and the hype around quantum computing is only exceeded by artificial intelligence (AI). Tech giants, multinational corporations, and startups across a wide range of sectors, and even governments are betting on quantum technology, collaborating and competing to gain power that comes with having access to a quantum computer that can hopefully solve complex and relevant problems. But what is a quantum computer? How does it differ from a classical computer and why is it so difficult to build one? How could the realisation of such a mysterious machine represent power? Can quantum computing learn anything from the field of AI? This article answers these questions in a concise form without assuming any advanced knowledge in physics.
Adapting to low contrast; how the remarkable flexibility of binocular fixation helps us read better
Authors: Zhu Ruomeng , Obregón Mateo , Shillcock Richard

We report a new, unexpected effect in which the visual system responds binocularly to text becoming harder to read because of reduced contrast. Participants read a row of white numbers against a static background that changed from black to white, from left to right. There was pervasive binocular disparity between the fixation points of the left and right eye. The lines of sight typically crossed in front of the stimulus plane. The proportion of such disparities increased systematically, as did their size, as reading difficulty increased. We explain this novel effect in terms of the projection of the visual hemifields to the cortex. First, the central part of the binocular perceptual window benefits from contralateral hemispheric projection for both eyes. Second, the larger this central zone, the more high quality context is available against which to compare the digit currently being read. Third, placing the stimulus beyond the horopter reduces the probability of one eye’s input being suppressed. Thus, we see that binocularity in human vision is remarkably flexible. Optimal perception for higher cognitive processing is ensured by strategies embodied in the peripheral musculature, cashed out neuropsychologically: apparent failures to fixate conjointly help us to read in difficult conditions.
"Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: Implications for Reproductive Health and Metabolic Disorders."
Authors: Gokhale Nikhil
Published: December 2024

This review explores the adverse effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on reproductive health and metabolic disorders in humans and wildlife. EDCs disrupt hormonal balance, impacting male and female fertility, and show transgenerational effects. They also contribute to metabolic issues such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The pervasive presence of EDCs in consumer products and the environment highlights the need for further research and societal efforts to mitigate exposure. The study underscores the critical need for awareness and policy interventions to address the long-term impact of EDCs on health and ecosystems.

Large online platforms design online environments that steer user attention, raising concerns about a loss of user agency, autonomy and even manipulation. Yet little is known about who users themselves think should control their online environments, and under what circumstances. In our preregistered study, participants across 26 countries (N = 11,686) decided between combinations of three possible choice architects—governments, platforms, and individuals—and three objectives—societal, commercial, and personal—in seven real-world contexts. Across all countries, people strongly prefer to set their own rules for their online choice architectures. Preferences for governmental or corporate choice architects are mediated by the political environment, context of the online choice architecture, and participants’ political orientation. These findings stand in stark contrast to current practices and underscore the importance of incorporating user preferences into future regulations that govern online platforms, ensuring that they are more responsive to users’ desire for autonomy and agency.
Anti-transgender state policies and mental health outcomes among sexual and gender minority adults: A difference-in-differences analysis

Importance: There has been a recent rise in anti-transgender state policies targeting gender minority (GM) — transgender and gender diverse — people, likely impacting the mental health of sexual and gender minority (SGM) people and GM people. Objective: To estimate changes in mental health symptoms associated with recent enactment of anti-transgender state policies among SGM people and GM people specifically. Design: A staggered difference-in-differences analysis to examine the associations between anti-transgender policies and mean changes in mental health outcomes.Setting: United StatesParticipants: SGM adults who completed annual questionnaires between April 1, 2020 and May 2023 for The Population Research in Identity and Disparities for Equality (PRIDE) Study, a national, prospective, continuously enrolling, online, cohort study of SGM adults.Exposures: Living in a state with one or more of the following enacted policies: (1) restrictions on GM people using bathrooms congruent with their gender identity; (2) bans on GM young people participating in sports; (3) bans on gender-affirming care. Main Outcomes: Mean levels of anxiety (7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale), depression (9-item Patient Health Questionnaire), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (6-item PTSD Checklist).Results: Of the 8,733 SGM participants in the sample, 4,354 (49.9%) were GM, 7,884 (78.6%) identified as White only, and the median age of participants was 32.5 years old. Among all SGM participants, anti-transgender policy enactment was associated with increases in anxiety (1.01 points, 95% CI=[0.01, 2.03]) and PTSD (0.97 points, 95% CI=[0.07, 1.87]) symptoms, but smaller and non-significant increases in depression symptoms (0.75 points, 95% CI=[-0.36, 1.85]). In the GM subsample, smaller, non-significant increases in anxiety (0.86 points, 95% CI=[-0.50, 2.22]), depression (0.29 points, 95%CI=[-1.27, 1.85]), and PTSD (0.89 points, 95% CI=[-0.49, 2.26]) were observed after policy enactment. GM adults had high mental health symptoms across the study period, which may account for the smaller increases in GM adults’ symptoms in states that enacted policies. Conclusions: Anti-transgender policies are likely negatively impacting SGM people’s mental health. Given the already high levels of mental health symptoms observed, multi-level interventions are necessary to support SGM people’s mental health amid this recent wave of anti-transgender policies.
