Published: April 2022

Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic requires lecturers to be able to adapt by using online learning platforms. As a result, there are different perceptions of students regarding the effectiveness of each of these platforms. The study aimed to analyze differences in students' perceptions about the effectiveness of using WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Zoom platforms. This research method uses quantitative methods to measure the level of perception and is combined with qualitative methods to analyze student perception. The data collection method is done by distributing questionnaires through Google forms to students. The analysis used is a quantitative analysis using statistical calculation and qualitative analysis to analyze student perception. The results showed that the difference in perception in WhatsApp and Google Classroom usage was significant with an average difference of 16.933 which means WhatsApp’s perception levels are higher than Google Classroom. The difference in perception in WhatsApp and Zoom usage is significant with an average difference of 15.2 which means WhatsApp's perception level is higher than zoom. The difference in perception in Zoom and Google Classroom usage is insignificant with an average difference of 1.733 which means Zoom’s perception rate is slightly higher than Google Classroom. The study concluded that student perceptions were higher on the WhatsApp Group platform, then zoom, and finally Google Classroom. Online learning should first use the WhatsApp platform, then zoom, and finally Google Classroom.
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Inflows in Seven ASEAN Countries During the Period of 2010-2017: Dunning Model Approach
Authors: Setyadharma Andryan , Fadhilah Silvia Nur
Published: April 2022

Before the monetary crisis in 1998, ASEAN was one of the main objectives of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and after the crisis, FDI inflows in ASEAN were still fluctuating, but tended to slowly increase. However, in 2009, there was a drastic decline in the FDI. The study aims to establish the determinants of FDI Inflows in 7 ASEAN countries in the period of 2010-2017. This study employs quantitative analysis through the Dunning Model Approach. As the technique of analysis, the Panel Data Regression analysis with Fixed Effect Model is used. The results of this study indicate that the Real GDP and Corruption Perception Index have positive and significant effects on FDI Inflows; while Exchange Rate, ICT Development Index and Road Length have negative and significant effects on FDI Inflows. Trade Openness has no effect on FDI Inflows. The reslts also show that FDI Inflows to the seven ASEAN countries are labour-intensive FDI, low technology FDI, driven by market seeking investment motives and fulfil the needs of the local market, not export-oriented FDI and seeking profit from resources with the availability of resources overflow with better quality.
The Effect of Electricity Development in Indonesia on Poverty and Income Inequality
Authors: Jayanthi Ria
Published: April 2022

Several provinces in Indonesia are still experiencing a crisis and the distribution of electricity is not evenly distributed. This is thought to be one of the causes of poverty and income inequality in several regions. Therefore, research on this matter is very important because electricity is a basic infrastructure whichis an important aspect in encouraging community economic activity as well as a tool that helps alleviate poverty and income inequality. This study used a simultaneous panel model, analyzed using the Two-Stage Least Square (TSLS) method, and used data from 31 provinces in Indonesia in 2010-2015. The results showed that electrification had a positive impact on economic growth. On the other hand, economic growth has a negative impact on poverty levels. However, an increase in electrification is actually indicated by an increase in income inequality in this study. So it can be concluded that economic growth is not enjoyed equally by people with low electrification ratios, but only by certain groups. The implication is that policies implemented to alleviate poverty and income inequality through increasing economic growth must pay attention to equal distribution of electricity, especially in areas based on labor-intensive industries, so that they are also able to attract investment and increase access to education.

Published: April 2022

This research discusses occupational segregation of workers based on gender in 2015 - 2018 in Indonesia. This study also aims to measure the level of dissimilarity or how much segregation occurs in the labor market in Indonesia. The sample data used were both males and females labor includes residents aged 15 years and over, namely workers aged 35-44 years. Measurement of occupational segregation is based on between occupational groups and provinces which is explained by a dissimilarity index. A dissimilarity index was constructed to measure occupational segregation. First, the percentage of all workers in each province where each occupation group is calculated. This index is then half the absolute value of the difference between the specific locations of the distribution. The occupational structure in Indonesia during the observed period shows that there is no occupational segregation based on gender where the index number D tends to be closer to zero. The occupation of the leadership and management of men and women workers is the most integrated. From the index number D, it means that female workers are less segregated in all types of occupation in the labor market in Indonesia. Integration is showing signs of increasing in Professional occupations, technicians and the like; Administration; Sales Business; and agricultural, forestry, hunting and fishery businesses.

On the issue of socio-cultural specifics of the development of running practices in Russia
Authors: Kannykin Stanislav Vladimirovich
Published: April 2022

The importance of research on the national specifics of running practices is due to the fact that in a global context, they allow us to identify the most effective of the proven forms of using running to ensure human well–being, and in an ethnic perspective - to better understand the cultural characteristics of a particular society. The subject of this study is the socio-cultural conditionality of diverse running practices that existed earlier and are still inherent in the population of Russia. The author defines their determination by various ideological complexes, social processes and actors, and also analyzes the variations and semantic transformations inherent in running activities in the dynamic field of national culture. The main conclusions of the study are: 1. In the mytho-religious public consciousness of antiquity (pre-Petrine era), legs as part of the bodily bottom had a negative connotation, which caused mainly negative labeling of running as an attribute of evil spirits. Competitive and ritual running practices were condemned as a manifestation of pagan games and ways to "appease" evil spirits, in carnival folk culture running was associated with the lower levels of the social hierarchy: children and women. 2. The Westernization of Russian society (the period from the reforms of Peter I to 1917) led to the applied use of running practices in military affairs and pedagogy. At the end of the XIX century, running in Russia became a kind of amateur sport, used for health-saving mainly by women, and in a competitive form it exists mainly in the male environment of the Western-oriented intelligentsia of large cities. 3. During the formation and development of the USSR, sports and wellness running was used by the state as an element of eugenics, a way of developing productive forces, a means of cultural construction and agitation. In the post-Soviet period, there is a commercialization, massization and humanization of amateur running in Russia against the background of the crisis of high-performance sports running.

The concept of the "Indo-Pacific region" and the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" of the USA: formation, development and Chinese views
Authors: Wu Yanbin
Published: April 2022

The regional concept - "Indo-Pacific region" has become a popular topic for research in modern international politics with the active promotion of four countries (USA, Japan, India and Australia). The Indo-Pacific strategy championed by the US Trump administration is the most significant among them and has strengthened the use of the emerging regional term "Indo-Pacific region". After the trade war, relations between China and the United States deteriorated, and Sino-American relations have become one of the most important relations in the field of international relations in this century, and the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States, developed under Trump, remains one of the concrete manifestations of the Sino-American great power game. This article explains the evolution of the concept of the "Indo-Pacific region", and the formation and development of the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States, as well as explains the fundamental goals of the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States and the structural conflict in the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific region through generalizing the views and opinions of Chinese academia about the U.S. strategy in the Indo-Pacific region.     The strategy and policy of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region pursues the main goal of maintaining US hegemony, and this is also closely related to the rise of the PRC. Massive military commitments and a large number of US armed forces in the Indo-Pacific region and the growth of the military power of the PRC will become the most central contradiction in the geopolitical structural conflict between the PRC and the USA in this region. The US military policy in this region will cause discontent of the PRC and even regional conflicts, but at the same time it should be noted that due to the firm strategic determination of the PRC, the PRC's own economic development and the limitations of internal factors of the USA, the US Indo-Pacific strategy will not hinder the peaceful growth of the PRC in this region.
The French in St. Petersburg: fashion House "A. Brizak" 1855-1917.
Authors: Kupriianova Angelina Nikolaevna
Published: April 2022

For the first time in Russian historiography, the article presents a detailed analysis of Rone Brizak's diary and Olga Alexandrovna Kulikova-Romanova's letters with Madame Brizak. The author examines the sources from the point of view of evidence of the life of French subjects in St. Petersburg. The above research is intended to reveal in detail the life line of the historical personality Ron Brizac and to show the view of a foreigner, as a representative of the French diaspora, on the turning events in the history of Russia of the late XIX-early XX centuries. The letters of the Princess are a separate subject of research, in this work they complement the general outline of the narrative. In April 2017, valuable documents were transferred to the Pushkin Museum-apartment. The archive contains 56 letters in French. Many of them are sent on postcards, artistically decorated by the Princess herself. In 2018, the letters were published in Kirov for the first time, but have not yet been commented on. The introduction of a new source into scientific circulation and the interpretation of the diary of Ron Brizac from the point of view of the anthropology of the Frenchman's life in St. Petersburg significantly complement the picture of the socio-political turning point in Russia of the late XIX-early XX centuries. The use of the micro—research methodology — the study of the history of one family in the broad context of the history of the Diaspora - seems to us very promising. The antagonism of the key conclusions -the absence of the phenomenon of "Russification" in the Brizak family and, at the same time, a deep attachment to St. Petersburg, to Russian culture and everyday life, speaks of the multidimensional nature and the need for a comprehensive study of the French presence in St. Petersburg at the turn of the century.

Heterogeneous Catalysis with Zeolites, Sulphides and Metals
Authors: Prins Roel
Published: April 2022

Zeolitic materials with sufficiently narrow pores for shape-selective reactions are developed which do not suffer from the diffusional side effects of narrow pores, such as a high Thiele modulus, a low effectiveness factor, and pore blocking by side reactions. The diffusional limitations are remedied by the creation of mesopores through dealumination and desilylation of the zeolites by acids and complexing agents. The removal of nitrogen from N-containing aromatics takes place via a complex network of hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis and N-elimination reaction steps. To investigate the catalytic sites at which these steps take place, the kinetics of the hydrodenitrogenation of model compounds such as pyridine, piperidine, quinoline, decahydroquinoline and aniline is studied at elevated temperature and pressure in plug flow reactors. The mechanism of the formation of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen at medium high pressure is studied in a plug flow reactor, as well as in a combination of a medium high pressure reactor with a surface science apparatus comprising X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Experiments in plug flow equipment have shown that the methanol formation is only formed over Pd and Rh catalysts when the catalyst is doped with earth alkali metals.

Outcomes of patients with Cholesterol crystal embolism treated by peritoneal dialysis: retrospective study from the RDPLF registry.
Authors: Testa Angelo , Chamorey Emmanuel , Lavainne Frederic , Verger Christian
Published: April 2022

Cholesterol crystal embolisms disease (CED) is a systemic disease characterized by tissue ischemia and microinflammation related to occlusion of arterioles by microemboli from ulcerated atheromatous plaques. The kidney is one of the most affected organs, often requiring dialysis. Our study examines the outcomes of a cohort of patients with CED treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). As anticoagulants can favor emboli, peritoneal dialysis may theoretically have an advantage.

From the database of the French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF), between January 1, 1995, and December 31, 2021, we selected patients treated with PD for >90 days and with an age >18 years. On the basis of the variables of patient autonomy, diabetes, BMI, modified Charlson index, age, sex, pre-PD treatment, causes of death, causes of transfer to hemodialysis, and peritonitis, three types of survival were estimated (patient, technical, and composite). After adjustment by propensity scores and taking into account competitive risks, 2 groups of patients were constituted on the basis of baseline nephropathy: emboli group vs. control group.

Patient survival and strict technical survival are not associated with the type of nephropathy (CED versus others). Composite technical survival (uncensored for deaths and transfers to hemodialysis) was only associated with cholesterol emboli nephropathy in the multivariate analysis adjusted for diabetes, autonomy, and age of the patient at the start of the dialysis treatment (p=0.011; 95% CI [0.736 [0.581-0.931]]).

Our study from the RDPLF database shows no difference in technical and patient survival in a cohort of patients with CED vs. a control group. It also confirms that PD may represent an adequate choice in this pathology.
Application of quantum chemical topology force field FFLUX to condensed matter simulations: liquid water
Authors: Popelier Paul , Symons Ben
Published: April 2022

We present here the first application of the quantum chemical topology force field FFLUX to condensed matter simulations. FFLUX offers many‐body potential energy surfaces learnt exclusively from ab initio data using Gaussian process regression. FFLUX also includes high‐rank, polarisable multipole moments (up to quadrupole moments in this work) that are learnt from the same ab initio calculations as the potential energy surfaces. Many‐body effects (where a body is an atom) and polarisation are captured by the machine learning models. The choice to use machine learning in this way allows the force field’s representation of reality to be improved (e.g. by including higher order many‐body effects) with no detriment to the computational scaling of the code. In this manner, FFLUX is inherently future‐proof. The “plug and play" nature of the machine learning models also ensures that FFLUX can be applied to any system of interest, not just liquid water. In this work we study liquid water across a range of temperatures and compare the predicted bulk properties to experiment as well as other state‐of‐the‐art force fields AMOEBA(+CF), HIPPO, MB‐Pol and SIBFA21. We find that FFLUX finds a place amongst these.

The History and Development of the Inviting School Survey: 1995-2012
Authors: Smith Ken
Published: April 2022

In recent years, research has shown that school climate is one of the most important contributors to student achievement, success, and psychological well-being. In order to make informed decisions regarding school development, it is paramount for a school administrator to aware of perceived school experience (school climate) of the major stakeholders in the school, namely students, administrators, teachers, parents, and the wider community The Inviting School Survey-Revised (ISS-R) purports to meet this need. Since 1995 the use of the ISS-R has grown from a few to over 10,000 participants (over 100 schools) in Asia, North America, Africa, and Australia. The following article outlines the history and development of the ISS-R from 1995 to 2012.

A Bibliography For Invitational Theory and Practice
Authors: Stanley Paula Helen
Published: April 2022

The earliest roots of invitational theory are found in William Purkey's classic discourse Self-concept and School Achievement (1970). Following its publication, Purkey, Avila, Siegel and others began to crystallize the assumptions and beliefs of what they called "invitational education." During the past twenty years, an extensive bibliography has been generated on the research and practice of invitational theory. The bibliography of published works and research papers has been compiled for individuals interested in invitational theory (The invitational model), and is presented in this issue of the Journal of Invitational Theory and Practice.

Creating Optimal Learning Environments through Invitational Education: An Alternative to Control Oriented School Reform
Authors: Fretz Joan R.
Published: April 2022

The importance and benefits of developing an intentionally positive school climate are often overlooked as education policy makers focus on accountability mandates that are increasingly control-oriented. Such school reforms often negatively impact the intrinsic motivation of educators and their students, while also unintentionally sabotaging the intended goals of the reform initiatives themselves (Deci & Ryan, 1985).

This year has certainly had its share of controversies. Ideologies and perspectives seem more dichotomous than ever. Yet, as the result of editing the 2017 Journal of Invitational Theory and Practice, my “Whispering Self” (Purkey, 2002) clearly revealed a beacon of hope: “those who apply Invitational Education look for ways to successfully summon people to see themselves as able, valuable, and responsible and then to behave accordingly” (Purkey & Novak, 2016, p 10). The JITP advances the tenets of Invitational Education (IE) theory and practices to optimize educational equity in quality. While education is the endeavor that strengthens a mind, frees a spirit, and enriches a society, the JITP will not be limited to educational stakeholders. Rather, the JITP editor welcomes all opportunities to promote the study, application, and research of Invitational Theory and Practice (ITP).
An Invitation to Internet Safety and Ethics: School and family collaboration
Authors: Mark Lauren , Nguyễn Thanh Trúc T.
Published: April 2022

More than ever, schools and families are embracing technology as positive aspects of creativity and collaboration. In a recent study, 78% of parents perceived technology as a constructive learning tool that has the potential to propel children toward highly successful lives and careers (Family Online Safety Institute, 2015). The increase in one-to-one device programs and recent government initiatives calling for upgraded connectivity, access to learning devices, increased support for teachers, and greater digital learning resources are evidence of a growing acceptance of technology in schools. While digital technology use continues to increase, what remains unclear is if students actually know how to use these tools safely, responsibly, and ethically. Similarly, many adults are not up-to-date with changing technological developments, nor are they prepared to have Internet safety and ethics discussions with young technology users. With the growing presence of Internet dangers, such as cyber victimization and sexting, it becomes evident that adults need to be aware of and understand Internet safety, as well as accept joint responsibility to keep youngsters safe. Using a qualitative, conversation analysis, the authors focused on the ways in which parents and teachers were invited to an Internet safety and digital citizenship professional development workshop, which included investigation of the structures of interactions between these two. The results provided insight into how adults view their role in providing safe online and offline learning environments for children, as well as beliefs for increasing their self-awareness of Internet safety and knowledge.
The Relevance of Empathy to the Intentionally Inviting Stance
Authors: Monahan Tony
Published: April 2022

A core component of invitational education is taking an intentionally inviting stance, whereby the teacher achieves and maintains an optimally inviting environment by intentionally practicing care, trust, respect, and optimism with students. These elements are rooted in the affective domain. Affective teaching involves the use of empathy. Humans are born with the capacity to feel the expressed emotions of others. This affective attribute is the basis for demonstrating empathy. However, empathy is a progressive construct. Initial affective mirroring must be augmented with cognitive, social and cultural experiences in order to be transformational. An intentionally inviting stance provides the potential for development of high-levels of empathy to occur.
An Intentionally Inviting Individualized Educational Program Meeting: It can happen!
Authors: Varvisotis Stathene , Matyo-Cepero Jude , Ziebarth-Bovill Jane
Published: April 2022

Anyone who has attended an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting for a student with special needs knows that this gathering of individuals has the potential to be extremely contentious and adversarial if not handled effectively. Often parents become overwhelmed by terminology that is foreign to them and may feel as though the only comments they hear about their child’s educational experiences are negative. By contrast, teachers and service providers too often approach these meetings as a fait accompli, whereby a plan for services and placement decision has been pre-determined, which is in sharp contrast to the mandated approach requiring the meeting to be a work in progress, developed by a team effort, and valuing the parents as active team members. Invitational Education theory encourages a more dependable stance. This article describes the benefits of applying Invitational Education theory to the Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting.
Secondary Students’ Self-Perceptions of School Climate and Subjective Well-Being: Invitational Education Meets Positive Psychology
Authors: Smith Ken
Published: April 2022

This study investigated the relationship between secondary students’ self-perceptions of school climate and subjective well-being based upon the tenets of Invitational Education Theory and Positive Psychology. The present study not only examined the relationship between the two constructs but also, if Gender and Year Level mediate such a relationship. School climate was operationally defined according to Invitational Educational Theory while student well-being was defined according to positive psychology’s PERMA model of well-being. The participants included 120 students from a large high school in the state of New York. Findings indicated evidence for a significant relationship between students’ self-perceptions of school climate and subjective well-being and insignificant mediation by various demographic factors. Implications for practice include providing a method for educational administrators to evaluate and improve their school climate for the promotion of student well-being. Further research on a larger sample is recommended to understand the relationships between student well-being and perceptions of school climate in various contexts.

Published: April 2022

A quantitative study with a correlational design, analyzed responses from a target population of more than 200 teachers employed in over four dozen urban and suburban schools in the New York metropolitan area. A sample of 42 teachers completed the Inviting School Survey-Revised and the Genos 360 EI AssessmentConcise Rater. Subsequent simple linear regression procedures found Emotional Self-Control [β = 0.486, t(74) = 2.016, p = 0.052] and Emotional Management of Others [β = 0.494, t(74) = 2.310, p = 0.027] predict a strong relationship in the positive direction between four of the five Inviting School Survey-Revised (ISS-R) domains of school climate. Analysis of the leaders’ demonstrated Emotional SelfAwareness [β = - 0.172, t(74) = - 0.816, p = 0.420] results identified a strong relationship in the negative direction between all five ISS-R dimensions of school climate. Implications suggest educational leaders seeking to improve school climate should develop and demonstrate emotional intelligence skills and tenets of Invitational Education theory.

For some years there has been growing interest in meeting both the affective and academic needs of students. For example, Goodwin (1989), Morse (1990), and Hoffman (1991) have supported the need to meet the affective as well as the academic needs of students in elementary schools. This article reports findings of a study that examined the effects of a systematic affective education program on students and teachers in an elementary school.
Invitational Education as a Logical, Ethical and Democratic Means to Reform
Authors: Brinson, Jnr Kenneth H.
Published: April 2022

A pervasive feeling exists that whatever is being attempted in education is not working and needs to be changed in dramatic fashion. Educational reform has become faddish and conflicting in the explanations of what is needed. Many reforms ignore that people are involved and concentrate solely on the systems in which people work. Invitational Education seeks to assist individuals and their relationships with others. It is rooted in the foundations of democratic philosophy and it is imperative that those tenets are directly applied in any educational reform initiative.

The notion of a community of learners where all participants are treated as valuable, able, and responsible was investigated. This article reports on the findings of the first year of a two-year study that examined a range of practices designed to promote an inviting learning-centered classroom community, tailored to cater more effectively to the diverse needs of all participants. The findings are congruent with the tenet that the core of an effective school program is knowledgeable teachers who have the expertise and inclination to encourage all children to reach their potentials

Perhaps you had not noticed, but this past June the International Alliance for Invitational Education celebrated the 15th birthday of its formal founding. There were no bells or whistles commemorating the event, but it is worth noting the viability and the durability of IAIE, particularly considering the "disposable" nature of our times. By developmental standards, we are in middle adolescence, and there are no signs of the growth and vitality slowing. Some have suggested that this may be an appropriate time for individuals to consider what the impact of invitational theory has been on their personal and professional lives. Some have even suggested that this should be a theme issue of the journal at a later time. At this point, however, it is worth observing a milestone passed.

America is involved in a serious national discussion of its values and virtues. There is sound evidence that the nation's moral standards are shifting and this alteration has important implications for both the present and the future. Therefore, it is important for all proponents of values to participate skillfully in the ongoing national dialogue. The suggestion is that it Is feasible for those participants to begin with a method based on the notion that human behavior is aflinction of skills, knowledge and attitudes (SKA). Specifically, invitationalists can and should promote their values respect, trust, optimism and intentionality) by being prepared to live them, listen to others discuss them and lead others to sources of learning about them.

The long shadows of fall are beginning to descend reminding us that the leisurely pace of summer gets ratcheted up a few notches. For many of us, activities this time of the year take on a life of their own and we are caught up in a myriad of tasks. Your International Alliance for Invitational Education is also caught up in the increased tempo. The Leadership Institute held in Ottawa, Canada was a sell out this October, and plans for the next World Conference scheduled for October 12-15, 2000 is already building a head of steam. A pre-publication announcement of Invitations to Dialogue: The Legacy of Sidney Jourard, which is sponsored by the Alliance, will also be found in this issue of the journal.

When asked by William Purkey to act as editor for the Journal forInvitational Theory and Practice my first reaction was “Where is mygood friend Bill Stafford going?” I called Bill and found that the summerlures of the Jersey shore, fishing, crabbing, and the delights of being agrandfather were making increasing demands on his time. On top of that,Bill has a new house in Pennsylvania and a new crop of back road restaurantsin the quaint and quiet villages to be explored and celebrated.As Bill was willing to succumb to the bliss of the rewards from a verysuccessful career, I consented to a short stint in his shoes. Bill’s serviceas editor of the journal has been as gracious as it has been invaluable. Ican only hope to extend his conscientious and caring leadership.

The quality of adult relationships within a school has more to do withthe quality and character of the school and with the accomplishmentsof students than any other factor. (Barth, 1990, p.163)This study focused on invitational practices of principals and thecorrelation between a principal’s inviting behaviors and teachers’ perceptions.It was hypothesized that there was a positive correlation betweena principal’s actions and teacher affective outcomes such as feelingsof trust, respect, job satisfaction, and perceived principaleffectiveness. The principal-teacher relationship was studied in an effortto elucidate the importance of positive human interaction in educationalsettings.A thorough review of the literature on the subject of InvitationalEducation from 1970 through 1991 revealed that little had been writtenon the application of Invitational Theory to administrative practices.Although Purkey and Warters (1986), Common (1983, 1984, 1985),Chambers (1983), and Cogar (1987) addressed the subject and offeredsuggestions for the application of Invitational Theory to the administrationof schools, Invitational Leadership was not a primary focus of thefounders and followers of Invitational Education.

The easiness of accessing video on various platforms can negatively impact if not done wisely, especially for children. Parental supervision is needed so that movies platforms avoid inappropriate displays such as violence. Violent scenes in movies can trigger children to commit acts of violence, which is not desired. Unfortunately, it is not easy to supervise them fully. This study proposed a method for automatic detection of violent scenes in movies. Automatic violence detection assists the parents and censorship institutions in detecting violence easily. This study uses Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) algorithm and wavelet as feature extraction to detect violent scenes. This paper shows comparative studies on the variation of the mother wavelet. The experimental results show that GRU is robust and deliver the best performance accuracy of 0.96 while combining with mother wavelet Symlet and Coiflets8. The combination of GRU with wavelet Coiflets8 shows better results than the predecessor.
