Validation of the adapted attitudes toward online teaching scale for Iranian EFL teachers: A Rasch model analysis
Authors: Kianinezhad Neda
Published: May 2024

This study addresses a critical gap by adapting and validating an instrument aimed at evaluating the perspectives of Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in online teaching. Leveraging 'Attitude Toward Online Teaching' scale, the survey involved 160 Iranian EFL teachers. The precise adaptation and analysis methods, centered on the Rasch measurement model, substantially bolstered the scale's analytical rigor. Subsequently, through translation and validation procedures, coupled with Rasch models, affirmed the scale's robust reliability and validity. Establishing validity evidence for the translated scale involved data fitting to the Rasch model, substantiating the cross-cultural validity of both the construct and the Persian test version. Participant responses were pivotal in identifying and eliminating items that did not align well, resulting in a more refined 24-item version which indicates unidimensionality of the scale. Additionally, the discernible differentiation among the scale's categories, evident in the sequence of category thresholds in participant responses, underscores their substantial importance. The consistently high reliability observed across measurement validates the scale's ability to accurately capture attitudes within the Iranian EFL context. This polished Persian adaptation of the instrument emerges as a transformative asset, holding implications for pedagogical practices, curriculum development, and teacher training in online EFL education. It marks a significant stride in advancing EFL education in the digital era, introducing a culturally contextualized measurement tool tailored explicitly to the Iranian EFL setting. Lastly, insights empower stakeholders to refine education strategies, advancing the digital educational landscape.
Post Covid-19 pandemic analysis offline classes versus online classes: Conflicts in early childhood education in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Palupi Soenjoto Wening Purbatin , Mahmudah Siti Nur , Merbawani Raras , Ramadina Rizma Dwi
Published: May 2024

Early childhood education in Indonesia is an area that parents are beginning to show interest in for preparing their children to progress to the next stage of education. The learning process involves selfdevelopment, cognitive training, emotional training, psychomotor training, and social interaction training, fostering independence in children during their playtime. Early childhood education differs from other levels as it emphasizes play while still incorporating learning. However, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2019 has significantly impacted early childhood education, leading to the implementation of online classes. This change has affected not only students, who are in an age group susceptible to the disease, but also young children who may struggle to grasp the meaning of the Covid19 virus, unlike adults. Research objectives: a. To analyze early childhood responses to online learning. b. To investigate the impact of online teaching and learning activities on early childhood education in Indonesia. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study is described through descriptive analysis based on a literature review and an examination of social phenomena. Children experience psychological shock when transitioning to home-based learning, missing the presence of teachers and friends, resulting in boredom and a lack of motivation to complete assignments. This psychological impact extends to parents, particularly mothers, who now have the responsibility of teaching their children at home, a role previously handled by teachers at school. Online classes are considered the optimal solution to curb the spread of Covid-19 in early childhood environments. The conflict between online and offline classes in the realm of early childhood education forms the basis of this research article.

Authors: Khan Rafi Ullah , Haider Syed Mujtaba , Mughal Abdul Basit
Published: May 2024

The article is a thorough analysis on the deep learning techniques used in image processing to estimate human poses. This entails examining several essential architectures such as CNNs and why traditional methods are unfit. It clarifies attentive mechanisms and transfer learning parts. This approach uses a two stage CNN model, whereby first network identifies some body parts, while the other focuses on these identified body bits. We use an intricate VGG16 to pinpoint body parts with accuracy. These models are compared using benchmark data sets and performance measures of special interest in the application of the MPII dataset for model training as well as verification. Deep pose estimation has huge social and economic consequences. They include human-computer interaction, sports analysis, healthcare, and many more. Conclusion gives an outline of important insights made above, highlighting positive aspects identified as well as gaps that require additional research including call towards cooperation between disciplines for enhanced growth in this field.

Published: May 2024

Many educational institutions worldwide make significant efforts to collect student feedback to understand their perspectives on the courses and faculty. This feedback is used to enhance the institution's environment. In this modern world, institutions use data collection techniques to gather feedback. However, they lack the proper techniques to analyze and utilize this data to improve the educational quality of the institute using textual feedback. This study presents techniques for analyzing the written feedback from students, which was collected for course evaluation over a year. This paper focuses on techniques including Multinomial Naive Bayes Classifier, Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM), and Random Forest to enhance the outcomes of sentiment analysis. Ultimately, our efforts resulted in the LSTM achieving 97.45% accuracy during model testing for three types of sentiments: positive, neutral, and negative. This paper also aims to identify a clear research gap in this field and discusses the work of other researchers, including their less accurate models from the past. We also discuss the processes of collecting a sufficient amount of data to train this model, and then utilize a set of 25,689 data points for training. Furthermore, this paper primarily focuses on enhancing the quality of education. The initial model has been implemented at Balochistan UET Khuzdar, and it has produced satisfactory results. In the future, efforts will be made to find the perfect way to enhance the quality of education.
Towards Novel Free Space Propagation Model for Humidity Based Mediums in Wireless Communication Systems
Authors: Faraz Ahmed
Published: May 2024

: This Free space propagation model in wireless communication systems is widely used for calculating the powerreceived at the receiver side using different parameters in wireless communication systems which are power transmittedby the transmitter side, transmitter antenna gain, receiver antenna gain, the transmitter-receiver separation by a distancewhich is far located, system losses which are also known as path losses. The prominent characteristic of free spacepropagation model is that this model is only used and applied for the airy medium and it does not cope with the signalattenuation problems when the medium of transmission of signals change from air to humidity or rainy medium. In thispaper I propose a novel free space propagation model which will address and solve the signal attenuation problem whenthe weather is humidity based or moisture based. The novel proposed model will be used to solve the issue of weaksignal propagation in the humidity based medium when there is a rainy season in the locations where signal propagationtakes place
Comparing distance-based and stress-based centralities to rank priority locations for cycling infrastructure investments in small-sized cities
Authors: Monari Marcelo , Segantine Paulo Cesar Lima , Rodrigues da Silva Antônio Nelson , Rodrigues Murilo Ribeiro , Silva Irineu da
Published: May 2024

The lack of technical guidelines to define investment priority locations is one of the barriers to cycling in emerging countries, limiting the preparation of urban mobility plans even when legally required. The objective of this paper is to propose and compare two approaches, with and without considering the cyclists’ perception of stress (assessed with the LTS, or Level of Traffic Stress), to determine the relative importance of road segments in the network and to rank priority locations for investments in cycling infrastructure. A case study was conducted in the city of Bariri (Brazil), for which the overall contribution of each network link to the identified cycling routes was mapped and ranked according to both criteria. The spatial distribution of differences between homologous ranks (i.e., ranks of the same network link according to different criteria) was also mapped, and the spatial autocorrelation between these differences was assessed by the Local Moran’s Index, allowing the identification of road segments of greater similarity and dissimilarity between the proposed approaches for resource allocation.

Authors: Caetano Fernanda Aparecida , Toscano Carlos
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo é parte de um episódio que compõe os dados de  uma dissertação de mestrado intitulada “O aprendizado da matemática no ensino fundamental: um estudo com uma turma do 2º ano”, defendida em 2014 na UEL – Universidade Estadual de Londrina e focaliza o desenvolvimento de uma atividade de ensino de matemática em uma turma do 2º ano do Ensino Fundamental em uma escola pública do interior do estado de São Paulo, onde tivemos por objetivo compreender o aprendizado da matemática na apropriação dos conceitos pretendidos em uma  atividade proposta, levando em conta o uso e reflexões de materiais manipuláveis como apoio na atividade. Para o trabalho nos ancoramos nos pressupostos teóricos da psicologia histórico-cultural e seus colaboradores. Como aporte metodológico da pesquisa tomamos como referência a abordagem microgenética, que tem como característica o exame orientado para o funcionamento dos sujeitos focais, as relações intersubjetivas e as condições sociais da situação, resultando num relato minucioso dos acontecimentos. Para coleta de dados fizemos se uso de observações, videogravações e um diário de campo, para posterior transcrição dos dados. Os dados foram analisados à luz da abordagem enunciativa discursiva proposta por Volochínov.  Como resultado destacamos que a presença do material manipulável não produz, por si só, o aprendizado dos alunos. Faz-se necessário uma problematização do papel deste material no processo de ensino, do seu uso intencional e colaborativo de modo que esteja articulado à atividade mental pretendida que promova avanços na apropriação de conceitos matemáticos dos alunos.

Published: May 2024

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the varietal resistance of cabbage against club root disease, Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, in a naturally infested field in Sindhuwa, Dhankuta. It was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) of three replications and seven treatments, viz., T1: Green Coronet, T2: Nepa Green 777, T3: Big Sun 171, T4: Yr Honam, T5: Big Sun 111, T6: Super Green, and T7: Nepa Star. The plant height was comparatively greater in Green Coronet and Super Green in 60 DAT. In contrast, there was no significant difference in the number of leaves. Big Sun 111 and Yr Honam did not show any signs of galling or clubroot, indicating a significantly higher resistance. Despite not being afflicted by clubroot, Nepa star produced less than satisfying results due to black rot and early head decay. The maximum average head weight and marketable cabbage yield were recorded as being highest in Big Sun 111 (2.56 kg) and Yr Honam (2.24 kg). Furthermore, the yield from Big Sun 171 (1.93 kg) and Nepa Green 777 (1.84 kg) was satisfactory, despite the higher PDI (percentage disease index) (40.33%) and (61.04%), respectively. Disease incidence was zero in Big Sun 111, Yr Honam, and Nepa Star. In terms of productivity and disease resistance, Big Sun 111 (160.13 Mt/ha) and Yr Honam (140.51 Mt/ha) provide the best results, which may be beneficial to farmers who face costly and lengthy disease control practices.

Farmers’ knowledge and perception of late blight of potato and its management strategies in Kailali and Banke districts of Nepal
Authors: Tiwari S , Srivastava A
Published: May 2024

Late blight of potato (Phytophthora infestans) is one of the major diseases of potato in Nepal, causing a significant yield loss. Late blight has continued to be a dominant potato disease for many decades in the hill, midhills, and terai regions of Nepal. A survey of 60 randomly selected farmers was carried out in two major potato-growing districts (Kailali and Banke) in the western Terai region of Nepal to examine farmers’ knowledge and management practices of the late blight of potato and to analyze the role of relevant knowledge in their practices. According to the study, farmers ranked disease as the major constraint in potato cultivation, followed by a lack of inputs and market problems. The majority of farmers were able to identify disease symptoms on contaminated leaves and stems. On the other hand, they knew relatively little about the diseases, their causes, and practical ways to treat them. The majority of farmers relied on chemical management techniques and did not adhere to traditional methods for controlling late blight. Based on the severity of the illness and the availability of fungicides, the majority of farmers reported applying them three to four times per season, separated by 10 to 14 days. Therefore, in order to manage the disease effectively, farmers must become knowledgeable about the disease, choose the right fungicides, apply them on time, and control the diseases in their local context by implementing a workable combination of management choices.

Fruits and vegetables are an integral part of human diet attributed to their appealing flavour, taste, nutrients and health-promoting properties. However, in Cameroon, the agricultural system is constantly dealing with a decrease in fruit and vegetable yield due to diseases and pests’ infestation. The aim of this study was to identify diseases and pests of fruits and vegetables in farms and markets in Mezam Division. North West Region of Cameroon. A field survey was conducted in randomly selected farms in Mezam, Bamenda while a market survey was carried at Mile 3 Nkwen and the Bamenda food markets in December 2022 and January 2023 with the participation of secondary school Biology teachers as trainees. They were taught on the signs and symptoms of diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses on fruits and vegetables by plant pathologists while insect pests’ identification was taught by agriculture entomologists from the University of Bamenda. Pictures of infected vegetable and fruit parts were taken; host plant was identified and the pathogens causing disease was identified based on signs and symptoms and results presented on tables. Also, Infected vegetables and fruits samples were cultured in PDA and pure cultures were identified by use of cultural characters. Insect identification was done with the aid of photographs and by the use of a dichotomous key which was used to determine the orders of the different insect pests. High number of vegetables and fruits were found to be infected by fungi, bacterial and viral pathogens. The symptoms observed in farms and markets ranged from fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum on Passifora edulis, bacteria canker of Persea americana to leaf spot disease caused by Pleospora spp. on Talinum fruticosum. The insect pests identified were Dacus punctatifrons, Helicoverpa armigera, Podagrica spp., Bemisia tabaci and aphids. Some of these insect pests serve as vectors of plant diseases.
The essence of personal consciousness as presented by Karol Wojtyła
Authors: Król Remigiusz
Published: May 2024

The author of this publication entitled: !e essence of personal consciousness as presented by Karol Wojtyła, shows the model of consciousness proposed by Cardinal Wojtyła. It explicates the aspect of being which in traditional philosophy was “implied” by rationality, and in ethics - by freedom of action. Król describes the consciousness of an intellectual nature, which does not have an intentional structure. Following the indications of Person and Action, he writes that whereas understanding and knowledge contribute to the formation of the object in an intentional way, consciousness is limited
to reflecting everything that has already become familiar. Consciousness of action is one of many re$ections that make up the overall content of a person’s consciousness. !is re$ection itself is conscious and does not involve active objectification of the action or the person, although it presents the image of the action and the person as faithfully as possible. All human cognition interacts with consciousness: the ability and e(ciency of active understanding. Therefore, consciousness is conditioned by this ability and
e(ciency, i.e. the whole cognitive potentiality, which is, according to the Western philosophical tradition, the basic property of a human being as a person. This consciousness gets the meaning of things “from the outside” as the fruit of knowledge, which results from an active understanding of the objective reality acquired by a human being in different ways and at di)erent stages, which also determine di)erent levels of consciousness. !ere is quite a fundamental difference between knowledge and consciousness in terms of intellectual and cognitive formation.
Homem dos Ratos entre Descartes e o Antigo Testamento
Authors: Fernandez de Souza Pedro
Published: May 2024

Numa das obsessões do Homem dos Ratos, ao tentar rezar e proferir bênçãos, o famoso paciente tinha de lidar com a intromissão de um “não”, que as convertia em seu oposto, isto é, em maldições. Ao descrever tal fenômeno, Freud diz que um böser Geist (“espírito maligno”) se intrometia nas ações do paciente, e que ele era um “Balaão invertido”. Neste artigo, procuramos investigar esses dois detalhes do texto freudiano. Primeiro, partimos ao Antigo Testamento, para compreender melhor a menção a Balaão, personagem de certa relevância na tradição judaica. Num segundo momento, fomos às Meditações Metafísicas, de Descartes; com efeito, o genius malignus (“gênio maligno”) aventado pelo filósofo foi traduzido, para o alemão, como böser Geist. Com isso, pudemos voltar ao texto freudiano e reavaliar o caso clínico do Homem dos Ratos, buscando averiguar que relações há em Freud entre o homem, a razão e a verdade.

Elucidating the Effect of School Environment on Academic Performance of Higher Secondary Students
Authors: Dr. Sunaina Kaur Maan
Published: May 2024

Formulation and validation of the school environment scale on outcome measures relating to academic achievement was the main goal of the current study. A random selection of 119 students in the eleventh grade of an English-medium CBSE school was chosen to take part in the current study. To measure the students' perception of the school environment, a sizable number of questions based on modern theoretical models of the learning environment were developed. CGPA ratings and student performance satisfaction were used to evaluate academic success. The intellectual stimulation, encouragement, acceptance, rejection, and control factors were identified as evidenced by the principal components factor analysis that was done on items related to the educational environment. All six elements of the school environment were ineffective in predicting current academic success and performance satisfaction in relation to friends. On the other hand, it was discovered that cognitive encouragement was adversely connected with prior academic accomplishment in the past but favourably correlated with contentment with one's current performance. Students' satisfaction with their own performance was found to be positively correlated with the factor relating to teachers' acceptance of students in the classroom, whereas the factor relating to students' feelings of rejection in the classroom was found to be negatively correlated with students' satisfaction with their own performance. Finally, the student's current academic performance was considerably and negatively impacted by their impression of losing control. The findings of this study are discussed in relation to the student's academic goals, his dedication to attending full-time coaching sessions in order to compete in academic goals for careers, and his plans for growth after higher secondary school. The study's implications are examined.

Published: May 2024

After months of parliamentary ping-pong, the UK Parliament passed the “Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act” in late April. Not even two weeks later, 66 persons were detained to be deported to Rwanda, and the FDA launched an unprecedented legal action before the High Court, claiming the Act conflicts with the Civil Service Code obligation to “uphold the rule of law and administration of justice.” By seeking to avoid the prohibition of refoulement, the Act undermines both core principles of the rule of law and disapplies fundamental human rights protections. This blog post discusses key provisions of the new Act, the concerns they raise and some remaining avenues for legal challenges.
Effects of material advantage and space advantage on the Komodo and Stockfish chess engines
Authors: Kaushikan Rohan , Park Won
Published: May 2024

Chess engines are computer programs built to play chess. Currently, chess engines are significantly better at chess than the highest ranked human chess players. The utilization of chess engines is the most widely accessible, reliable, and efficient way to study chess. Because of their overwhelming chess capabilities, chess engines are able to aid chess players ranging from amateurs to Grandmasters. A key feature of chess engines is their ability to analyze a chess position and provide a numerical evaluation that describes the degree to which a side is winning. However, different chess engines employ different methods of evaluating a position. Some engines highly value “material advantage” and will greatly favor the side that has captured more pieces. Others put great importance in “space advantage” and will generally try to move their pieces from starting position to positions where they control more squares as early as possible. This study examines how two top-rated chess engines, Stockfish and Komodo, differ in their methodologies for evaluating a chess position. We hypothesized that Komodo’s evaluation would change more than Stockfish’s when material was lost, and that Stockfish’s evaluation would favor the side with more available advancing moves than Komodo. We discovered that Komodo indeed valued material advantage significantly more than Stockfish. However, the two engines did not differ significantly in their evaluations of space advantage. These findings have important implications for chess players, as they allow for accurate imitations of an engine’s play style, which could serve to more effectively increase performance.

The purpose of the Final Project of Fine Arts Creation is a requirement for S1 graduation. This makes me want to metaphor the various types, shapes, and colors of roses as ideas for creating paintings in a naive style. Then perform various compositional processing, phenomena in life can be used as ideas in creating a work of painting, ideas or ideas cannot be separated from observations and interactions with surrounding conditions, as well as personal experiences. With the problem of how to express the technique, and the meaning of the various types and colors of roses into a painting. There are supporters in expressing techniques, and meanings, namely the theoretical basis as a reference for realizing paintings. So, my theoretical basis is to use aesthetic theory, semiotic theory to express the meaning of the rose metaphor, and naiveism to enrich the visuals of painting. The results of this creation are in the form of six works of art with the title: Breastfeeding Mother, Fighting Corona Virus, Self-Esteem, Rejecting Love, Relaxing, and Inhaling Taste. Through the writing that has been done, I can express the roses expressed in a naive style. Through this, a work can be created that will have a symbol or meaning.
