PENINGKATAN PARTISIPASI DAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH DI MASA PANDEMI
Authors: Marbun Tiarima
Published: April 2021

This classroom action research (CAR) was conducted to increase student success in learning History with the Google Classroom (GC) application. The class as the subject is that of XI IPS-2 SMA Negeri 2 Tarakan, consisting of 36 students, with 19 male and 17 female students. They were chosen,  because the class saw a very large level of online learning problems such as: students often missed class, attended late, did not do assignments, did not have data packages so they did not participate in learning , and very passive learning activities.This research was conducted in two cycles, with  three meetings in each. It employed GC as the media to hold the learning process done online in the pandemic era. The results of the analysis has proved that the use of GC can help in improving student learning outcomes, based on all aspects of observation and action so that learning outcomes increase in each meeting and cycle. The learning outcomes in the first cycle showed 47.2%, while in the second cycle it increased to 83.3%. There were 5 students or 13.9% who had failed to reach the minimum completeness and a student was not present at the last meeting of the cycles. A remedial will be given in a separate meeting so that they can achieve the required mastery in learning. In short, learning with GC media can improve the results of learning history subject for the students in high school. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers or teachers be able to use GC in online learning.

A Proposal for Decentralized, Global, Verifiable Health Care Credential Standards Grounded in Pharmaceutical Authorized Trading Partners
Authors: Dods Victor , Taylor Ben
Published: April 2021

The twin forces of privacy law and data breaches have fundamentally challenged how we collect, store, and share sensitive information. Within this landscape, healthcare information is sacrosanct – and intimately tied to identity and data ownership. Building on prior work with UCLA Health, Genentech (a member of the Roche Group), Sanofi, Amgen, Biogen, and others, we offer this opinion piece to promote the development of a standard for decentralized Verifiable Credentials (VCs). This will empower Authorized Trading Partners (ATPs) in the pharmaceutical supply chain to trade and exchange information in compliance with the US federal law. Starting with credentialing and interoperability for the ATP community, our ultimate goal was to chart a path to a global standard for all health care VCs – providing individuals and health-care professionals control over their own data. By sharing our results and releasing essential components of the work to the public domain, we hope to align and connect with other foundational efforts, thus evolving standards within a truly open framework with broad stakeholder involvement.

Entre abrazos y el dolor. Un análisis etnográfico del reclamo público a partir de una muerte en Capilla del Monte (Córdoba)
Authors: Villarreal Agustín
Published: April 2021

En este trabajo propongo abordar las expresiones públicas del reclamo por la muerte de un joven de 17 años en la comisaría de Capilla del Monte (Córdoba- Argentina). Esto produjo la conformación de un grupo asambleario para reclamar por el joven y la violencia institucional, lo que provocó diversas movilizaciones en la ciudad y en algunos de ellos participó la familia. En este marco, mi interés se constituye en un análisis procesual sobre los aniversarios de la muerte para problematizar el lugar de la figura familiar. Esto me permite comprender los sentidos locales sobre disputas y encuentros que se constituyeron en el reclamo por la violencia institucional al interior de la provincia de Córdoba. Las actividades políticas que se produjeron año a año logran socavar una problematización sobre la demanda de justicia y el rol de los familiares de víctimas en ellas.
La cerámica en tránsito en el Qhapaq Ñan de San Juan. Implicancias para el conocimiento del dominio incaico de Cuyo
Authors: García Alejandro , Rodríguez Anabel
Published: April 2021

En los valles longitudinales del oeste de la provincia de San Juan se han identificado dos tramos del Qhapaq Ñan. El más septentrional conecta las localidades de Tocota y Villa Nueva, mientras que el otro parte de Barreal y llega hasta el límite con Mendoza. El registro arqueológico artefactual asociado a estos tramos está constituido fundamentalmente por cientos de fragmentos de cerámica. La cantidad, diversidad y filiación de esta alfarería puede brindar importante información sobre la utilización de la vialidad estatal y sobre varios aspectos vinculados con la dominación incaica regional. En atención a ese objetivo, en el presente artículo se ofrece una clasificación de la alfarería registrada, se estima el número de vasijas correspondiente y se analizan y discuten las diferencias observadas en las muestras cerámicas de ambos tramos. Los resultados muestran una importante variabilidad de la alfarería y de su representación en los distintos tramos, y brindan nueva información para la discusión del papel de los diaguitas chilenos en la anexión incaica de Cuyo.
Un fortín que no es fortín, sino una casa y un museo llamado fortín. Patrimonio y memorias en la construcción de un relato sobre la frontera del sur bonaerense
Authors: Perrière Hernán
Published: April 2021

En este artículo analizo los procesos de patrimonialización del Museo Fortín Cuatreros en el partido de Bahía Blanca (sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires) y los relatos históricos asociados como procesos de construcción de memorias locales y recurso educativo destinado a jóvenes de la escuela secundaria. Este museo representa el último de los fortines emplazados en el avance de la frontera que custodiaron a la llamada “Zanja de Alsina” en 1876, cercano a la ría que bordea dicha ciudad. En este artículo se despliegan en una primera parte, los distintos entramados que explican los sentidos otorgados al actual museo en perspectiva histórica (fundación, declaraciones patrimoniales, reconstrucciones) en diálogo con los relatos de pobladores pioneros de la localidad. En la segunda, se retoma parte de un trabajo etnográfico realizado entre los años 2014 y 2018 con el objetivo de analizar los sentidos que el MFC recupera cuando es visitado por estudiantes y docentes (guiones, relatos de los encargados de las visitas, escenificación de objetos). La hipótesis consiste en afirmar que se distinguen seis entramados que constituyen una red de silencios que el Estado construyó sistemáticamente con el objetivo de justificar la extinción y el genocidio de los pueblos indígenas.

Authors: Araujo Santana Tatiane , dos Reis de Assis Telma Regina , Silva dos Santos Zoraide
Published: April 2021

O objetivo desta pesquisa é reconhecer a importância de inserir no currículo das escolas de Salvador o conteúdo diversidade cultural da referida cidade através de reflexões sobre a sua relevância nos aspectos sociais, educacionais e científicos. A cultura é uma característica do ser humano e da comunidade a que pertence. Logo, é impossível concebê-la, desatrelando-a deste, assim, como se torna difícil a definição do homem sem a sua origem enraizada em uma determinada cultura. Para a concepção desta pesquisa foi utilizada o metodologia da pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, jornais e revistas. Conclui-se que é importante inserir no currículo das escolas de Salvador o conteúdo diversidade cultural, pois não se pode conceber, uma educação sem cultura, nem uma cultura sem a educação, pois, ambas se completam, nas funções de instruir e constituir o indivíduo, neste caso, inserção do conteúdo diversidade cultural no currículo das escolas da cidade de Salvador faz-se necessário para que seja valorizada a cultura, latente da região.
Ratni gubici Srbije u Prvom svetskom ratu - kontroverze oko brojeva
Authors: Bjelajac Mile
Published: April 2021

The author highlights various discrepancies in literature concerning numerical data from the recent past. There are a number of examples which demonstrate their long-lasting and complex character. This complexity often stems from an emotional connection with previous interpretations, as in the case of the number of Serbian casualties in World War I. A thorough analysis of previous interpretations reveals significant differences and discrepancies. This paper discusses the diverging interpretations, as well as certain newly discovered sources, indicating that the total number of Serbian casualties in World War I needs to be reconsidered.

Published: April 2021

This paper presents two diplomatic reports written by the Russian envoy in Belgrade on the events which took place in the Serbian capital on May 28–29 1903. Their significance lies in the fact that they were the main source on which the Russian policy-makers relied in their analyses of the events surrounding the May Coup. The documents published in this paper are kept in the Archives of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire (AVPRI) in Moscow.
On the generation of self-similar with long-range dependent traffic using piecewise affine chaotic one-dimensional maps (renewed version)
Authors: Millán Ginno
Published: April 2021

A qualitative and quantitative extension of the chaotic models used to generate self-similar traffic with long-range dependence (LRD) is presented by means of the formulation of a model that considers the use of piecewise affine one-dimensional maps. Based on the disaggregation of the temporal series generated, a valid explanation of the behavior of the values of Hurst exponent is proposed and the feasibility of their control from the parameters of the proposed model is shown.
Differential expression of G protein subunit gamma 11 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding G protein subunit gamma 11, GNG11, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. GNG11 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of GNG11 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with post-progression survival in patients with luminal A subtype or HER2+ breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. GNG11 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Beyond ‘Migrant Background’: How to Select Relevant, Social Justice Oriented, and Feasible Social Categories in Educational Research
Authors: Vietze Jana , Schwarzenthal Miriam , Moffitt Ursula , Civitillo Sauro
Published: April 2021

Across continental Europe, educational research samples are often divided by ‘migrant background,’ a binary variable criticized for masking participant heterogeneity and reinforcing exclusionary norms of belonging. This study endorses more meaningful, representative, and precise research by offering four guiding questions for selecting relevant, social justice oriented, and feasible social categories. Using a preregistered empirical example, we compare selected social categories (‘migrant background,’ family heritage, religion, citizenship, cultural identification, generation status) in their potential to reveal participant heterogeneity and differences in means and relations between variables (discrimination experiences, perceived societal Islamophobia, national identity) and academic motivation among 1335 adolescents in Germany (48% female, Mage = 14.69). Regression analyses and multigroup SEM revealed differential experiences with and implications of discrimination for academic motivation. Results highlight the need for a deliberate, transparent use of social categories to make discrimination visible and centre participants’ subjective experiences.
The impact of pandemic-related worry on cognitive functioning and risk-taking
Authors: Castanheira Kevin da Silva , Sharp Madeleine , Otto A Ross
Published: April 2021

Here, we sought to quantify the effects of experienced fear and worry, engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic, on both cognitive abilities—speed of information processing, task-set shifting, and proactive control—as well as economic risk-taking. Leveraging a repeated-measures cross-sectional design, we examined the performance of 1517 participants, collected during the early phase of the pandemic in the US (April – June 2020), finding that self-reported pandemic-related worry predicted deficits in information processing speed and maintenance of goal-related context information. Cognitive performance was also impaired relative to pre-pandemic ‘baseline’ samples. In a classic economic risk-taking task, we also observed that more worried individuals’ choices were more sensitive to outcome probabilities of risky actions. Overall, these results elucidate the cognitive consequences of pandemic worry, which may play an important role in individuals’ understanding of—and adherence to—public health directives.
Behavioral Information Security: Defining the Criterion Space
Authors: Stanton Jeffrey , Caldera Cavinda , Isaac Ashley , Stam Kathryn , Marcinkowski Slawomir
Published: April 2021

The success of information security appears to depend in part upon the effective behavior of the individuals involved in its use. Appropriate and constructive behavior by end users, system administrators, and others can enhance the effectiveness of information security while inappropriate and destructive behaviors can substantially inhibit its effectiveness. The present research focuses on “behavioral information security” which is defined as the complexes of human action that influence the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of information systems. Because research in this area is so new, in the present in study we focused on delineating and understanding the behavioral domain. Our goal for this study was to construct and test a taxonomy of information security behaviors. We expect that this knowledge can support later research efforts that focus on understanding the antecedents and consequences of information security behavior.
Methods for small area population forecasts: state-of-the-art and research needs
Authors: Wilson Thomas , Grossman Irina , Alexander Monica , Rees Phil , Temple Jeromey
Published: April 2021

Small area population forecasts are widely used by government and business for a variety of planning, research and policy purposes, and often influence major investment decisions. Yet the toolbox of small area population forecasting methods and techniques is modest relative to that for national and large subnational regional forecasting. In this paper we assess the current state of small area population forecasting, and suggest areas for further research. The paper provides a review of the literature on small area population forecasting methods published over the period 2001-2020. The key themes covered by the review are: extrapolative and comparative methods, simplified cohort-component methods, model averaging and combining, incorporating socio-economic variables and spatial relationships, ‘downscaling’ and disaggregation approaches, linking population with housing, estimating and projecting small area component input data, microsimulation, machine learning, and forecast uncertainty. Several avenues for further research are then suggested, including more work on model averaging and combining, developing new forecasting methods for situations which current models cannot handle, quantifying uncertainty, exploring methodologies such as machine learning and spatial statistics, creating user-friendly tools for practitioners, and understanding more about how forecasts are used.
Local Governments and Synchronous Issues Since Nigeria’s Fourth Republic
Authors: Awotokun Kunle
Published: April 2021

The paper examines the contentious issues bewildering local government as a level of governance in Nigeria’s federal system of government against the backdrop of classical theory and practice of federalism.

The article relies heavily on secondary data to run its analysis. Such data includes textbooks, journals, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, the Nigerian 1979 and 1999 constitutions, etc.

The findings are that there are lots of contradictions (inconsistencies) in the running of the Nigerian federal system of government. The federal government is fond of always arm-twisting state governments especially in the area of creating new local governments which has, no doubt, led to frustration, reactions and counter-reactions between the two tiers of government.

The work concludes on the note that there is the need to have a holistic review of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, with the view to returning the country to a true federal system akin to the Nigerian constitutions of 1960 and 1963 with modifications to reflect contemporary issues. This is the path of wisdom to stem the tide of separatist agitations in Nigeria and perhaps in plural African countries.

Authors: Sharma Sushma , Acharya Soniya , Regmi Samikshya , Poudel Avishek , Adhikari Gokarna
Published: April 2021

The study was conducted in Nov 2019 – Feb 2020 with the objective of assessing the whole value chain of sericulture products in the Western inner terai region of Nepal. The beginning of sericulture in the region was due to some personal interest but gained popularity and huge return and turned out to achieve the objectives of food security and source of employment. As per the finding and research, Bi-voltine Silkworm (Bombyx mori) was mainly reared which feeds upon the leaves of the mulberry plant. The interview result indicates that producers produce cocoon at an average of 30.05 kg per ropani in one production round and production was made twice a year. In this region, three marketing channels were identified (producer to the primary collector/small hand processor) and (producer to primary processor or reelers) and the producer himself as the processor and distributor. Producers sold the cocoon to primary collectors at NRs 500per kg cocoon which was 15% more than percent sales while selling to the government, fetching an average BC ratio of 1.3. Problems recorded as per farmers were lack of appropriate technology to widen the scope of sericulture and modern silkworm rearing techniques, lack of proper irrigation facilities, and governmental aids and support. This research will address various problems and make an emphasis to make regional sericulture production mature and profitable.

A review of igneous and metamorphic saprolites
Authors: Aydin A. , Duzgoren-Aydin N. S. , Malpas J.
Published: April 2021

Major difficulties in ground engineering works in areas of humid climates arise from the internally heterogeneous and erratically varying zones of weathering profiles developed over igneous and metamorphic rocks as a result of dominantly chemical weathering processes. This paper provides a critical review of recent efforts on improving the description and classification of weathering grades, and discusses current conceptual and practical issues and proposed methods for the engineering geological characterisation of igneous and metamorphic saprolites. Analysis of these issues reveals that lack of comprehensive (geochemical, mineralogical, microfabric, and engineering geological) characterisation studies within well-defined geological frameworks is the underlying reason for failure to define, characterise, and model saprolites as complex engineering geological units and to devise specific site investigation methodologies to explore these complexities.

Some problems of engineering geology (such as statistical features of rock mass structure) were comprehensively studied based on field investigation and numerical analysis. The numerical modelling techniques including damage variable and finite element analysis were used for the detailed study of the effect of excavation and blasting on rock mass quality and slope stability. The analyses indicate that the rock mass is relatively intact and rock mass quality varies mainly from Class I to Class II. Consequently, the overall stability of slope can be ensured except for some minor local unstable blocks.
Evaluation on slope stability of unsaturated soils
Authors: Wang L. J. , Zhang M.
Published: April 2021

In drought-prone and semiarid areas, the groundwater table is deep and the soils are at an unsaturated state because of evaporation or transpiration. The negative pore water pressure or matric suction (ua-uw) is an important property of unsaturated soils that are situated above the groundwater table. In the conditions of rainfall, ground seepage, or drainpipe leakage, the matric suction will decrease with the increase of the degree of saturation, and the soils will lose their part of shear strength, which is the main reason why many unsaturated soil slopes become unstable. This paper discusses the engineering properties of unsaturated soils. Following the limit equilibrium principle, the unsaturated soil slopes are evaluated by applying the slice method.

General expression for the critical seepage gradient in an infinite slope
Authors: Federico A.
Published: April 2021

With reference to the ideal case of an infinite slope of granular (c' =0) homogeneous and isotropic soil subject to uniform seepage with a vertical component directed upwards, the possibility, in principle, of a slope instability due to static liquefaction (quick condition) is examined. Such instability takes place when the seepage gradient is the critical one (ic). In this paper, a general expression for ic, is obtained.
Engineering characteristics of Ariake Clay (soft Quaternary deposits) from Saga Plain, Japan
Authors: Iwao Y. , Gurung N.
Published: April 2021

The Saga Plain of Kyushu, Japan, is surrounded by mountains and the inland Ariake Sea. It consists of lowland soft deposits of Quaternary age around the big inland Ariake Sea. The Ariake Clay shows great variation in material thickness, sensitivity, and softness. The top clayey soil is generally 10 to 20 m thick. Clay minerals are represented by montmorillonite, illite, hydro halloysite and metahalloysite with a lot of diatom remains. Natural disasters such as landslides, subsidence, liquefaction, and flooding are frequent due to its inherent weak engineering properties. These characteristics are linked with many engineering problems for further infrastructure development. In the paper, quantitative correlations from a vast soil test database are briefly presented for each geographical location.
Modification of SCE-UA genetic algorithm for runoff-erosion modelling
Authors: Santos Celso A. G. , Suzuki Koichi , Watanabe Masahiro
Published: April 2021

In order to provide a robust tool to be used in runoff-erosion modelling, the present paper introduces new evolution steps in the SCE-UA genetic algorithm, which is based on the simplex theory. The new evolution steps were conceived in order to improve the efficiency of such an algorithm. Thus, they will theoretically expand the simplex in a direction of more favourable conditions, or contract it if a move is taken in a direction of less favourably conditions. Hence, these new evolution steps enable the simplex both to accelerate along a successful track of improvement and to home in on the optimum conditions. Therefore, it will usually reach the optimum region quicker than the previous version and pinpoint the optimum levels more closely. The new proposed algorithm is tested with special mathematical functions, as well as in the optimisation of the erosion parameters presented in a physically-based runoff-erosion model. On the basis of these simulation results, the mean erosion parameter values are given, which agree with previous values reported to the same area. Thus, the new algorithm can be considered as a promising tool to optimise physically-based models as well as other kinds of model.
Smectite in weathered hyaloclastite of the Shakotan Peninsula, Hokkaido, Japan: significance of clay mineralogy in engineering geology
Authors: Yoneda Tetsuro , Dhakal Ganesh P. , Kaneko Katsuhiko , Nakajima Iwao
Published: April 2021

The occurrence and chemical composition of smectite in hyaloclastite from the Toyohama rock fall site of 10 February 1996 and the Oshoro Bay area were examined by using optical microscope, X-ray diffractometer, electron probe microanalyser and analytical transmission electron microscope. Frequently, smectite occurs as fillings and linings of pores in various forms, and sporadically as the replacement of volcanic glass in hyaloclastite. The analytical results show that smectite is of dioctahedral and Fe-rich type. Its compositional field varies extensively between montmorillonite and nontronite. Moreover, interlayer cations of smectite vary intensively in relation with the type of weathering in hyaloclastite. Na-smectite occurs characteristically in discoloured hyaloclastite affected by superficial weathering, whereas Ca- and K-smectite occurs dominantly in the hyaloclastite collected from the inner part of the rock mass. These features of smectite in hyaloclastite can be attributed to its formational and weathering environments. Mineralogical characterisation of hyaloclastite provides detailed information on engineering properties of this type of rock mass and rock materials.
Engineering geology for the New Millennium: Stick with the basics
Authors: HameJ James V. , Adams William R.
Published: April 2021

Our experience indicates most problems and difficulties in geotechnical practice result from failure to apply available information, existing knowledge, and well-established project development procedures. Many, if not most, of these problems and difficulties result from failure to apply in an organised manner basic concepts and techniques of engineering geology.

Future challenges and opportunities are outlined with emphasis on infrastructure projects in both developed and developing countries. Ten previously presented Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering Practice (geology, geometry, geomechanics, observation, imagination, common sense, precedents/experience, construction/constructability, communication, diplomacy) are updated and five new Fundamentals (history. field emphasis, checking, redundancy, flexibility) are added. All fifteen Fundamentals are focused on an observational engineering geology approach for developing the geotechnical framework of sites and problems.

For geotechnical practice in the twenty-first century, we have a simple message: Stick with the basics- traditional concepts and procedures including the fifteen Fundamentals.
