Published: August 2024

The Quran is a vital guide for Muslims, requiring proper recitation with tajwid. However, many converts struggle with accurate Quranic recitation even after years of embracing Islam. This study aims to develop Total Physical Response (TPR)-based teaching activities to enhance Quranic recitation proficiency among converts by integrating physical movements with learning, aiding in recognizing Hijaiyah letters and tajwid rules. Utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), this study achieved expert consensus on proposed TPR-based activities. Ten experts in technical and vocational education, educational technology, and curriculum development participated, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved a two-stage process: a workshop where experts rated each activity on a 5-point Likert scale, followed by FDM analysis, transforming responses into triangular fuzzy numbers. This rigorous evaluation required at least 75% consensus and a threshold value (d) not exceeding 0.2. Findings validated all 25 TPR-based activity elements, demonstrating their suitability for teaching Quranic recitation to converts. TPR’s integration of physical activities significantly enhances memory retention and understanding, making it effective for converts with diverse backgrounds and minimal prior Quranic knowledge. The study recommends developing structured modules, providing expert training, creating interactive learning environments, and implementing continuous assessments. Incorporating Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and varied teaching methods aims to improve engagement and motivation, ultimately making Quranic learning more effective and enjoyable for converts.

Published: August 2024

The causes of Parkinson's disease spasticity can be divided into two broad categories. One is the muscle twitching and tension caused by Parkinson's disease itself. This is caused by the imbalance caused by the death of brain cells in the late stages of Parkinson's disease. Some cells die, and some cells do not. The resulting imbalance causes muscle twitching.There are also secondary causes, such as anti-Parkinson’s drugs, which come in many types, and can also cause muscle twitching. In addition, Parkinson's disease may be combined with other diseases, such as severe osteoporosis or epilepsy, which may also produce corresponding muscle twitches and spasms.This study proposes a new massage treatment plan for Parkinson's spasm. The massage program uses different methods, and different methods are proposed according to the spasticity of Parkinson's patients.

Published: August 2024

The main cost and decoration cost of the building are the key parameters in the evaluation of the direct economic loss of the building. In the Earthquake Site Work Part 4 : Direct Loss Assessment of Disasters ( GB / T 18208.4-2011 ), considering factors such as economic development level, structural type, and building use, based on expert experience and engineering cost data, a grading index was developed and a corresponding correction coefficient was given to more accurately and reasonably assess the loss of the main building and the loss of decoration. In view of the rapid development of China 's economy and the acceleration of urbanization in the past ten years, the original grading indicators and coefficients need to be adjusted to adapt to the reality. This paper focuses on the reinforced concrete structure with various functions and wide distribution. By collecting a large number of corresponding building main body and decoration cost data, and combining with expert experience data, this paper analyzes the influence of seismic fortification level on the main body cost, as well as the influence of economic development level, decoration grade, use function and other factors on the decoration cost.

Published: August 2024

Drilling safety and efficiency are greatly impacted by kick, a major problem that is hard to diagnose, assess, and predict due to the complexity and high uncertainty of the deep water drilling formation pressure system. This article forms a pre-drilling well kick probability prediction method by establishing a calculation model for wellbore ECD and using the numerical solution method of Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. The bottomhole pressure uncertainty range gradually increases with well depth, according to simulation calculations, and the probability of a well kick decreases with drilling fluid volume. Theoretically, safe well control in deepwater drilling can be guided by the well-established kick diagnosis and formation pressure assessment techniques.
An End-to-end speckle matching network for 3D deformation measurement
Authors: Feng Yahong , Wang Lianpo
Published: August 2024

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a speckle image-based optical measurement technique for measuring deformation of object. In recent years, deep learning has been widely used in 2D-DIC, while research in the field of 3D-DIC is in its infancy, although 3D-DIC can measure 3D shape and deformation compared to 2D-DIC. 3D-DIC achieves 3D deformation measurement through temporal matching and stereo matching, and it is difficult to perform two matching tasks through an end-to-end network due to the different deformation types of them. To solve this problem, we propose an end-to-end speckle matching network for 3D deformation measurement, called 3D-DICNet. Considering that the difference in deformation types between the two matching tasks is mainly manifested in the deformation scales, we extract the features of different receptive fields, propose a new attention connect volume and multi-scale cost aggregation to achieve the deformation measurements at different scales. Experimental results show that the network can perform 3D deformation measurement with high accuracy and efficiency.

Research on flexible teaching innovation
Authors: Chen Jingjing , Wang Dan
Published: August 2024

Flexible teaching is essentially a new strategy for teaching "stability and change". The characteristic of traditional linear thinking is diachronicity, while the characteristic of flexible thinking is synchronicity without specific restrictions.Teaching allows students to understand the natural order of the development and evolution of things from the seemingly chaotic and complex phenomena, gain insight into the next step forward, identify potential unknown needs and develop students' thinking, and then foresee changes and automatically cope with changes. This is the essence of flexible teaching innovation.
Flexible teaching is marked by "humanization" and emphasizes jumps and changes, speed and response, sensitivity and flexibility. Flexible teaching does not mean no principles.

The Necessity and Suggestions for Cultivating Intercultural Communication Skills of Maritime Students
Authors: Lyu Xiaoyan
Published: August 2024

According to the data published by the International Maritime Organization, over 80% of maritime accidents are caused by human factors, and problems arising from intercultural communication among seafarers from different countries account for a large proportion of them. Multiple studies have shown that improving seafarers’ intercultural communication skills is important to ensure the safety of shipping transportation. Enhancing the intercultural communication ability of maritime students is not only the requirement of IMO conventions, but also the need for students to find jobs and to improve themselves. Through the revision of the STCW Convention, maritime institutions should strengthen the cultivation of students' intercultural communication ability in the aspects of curriculum construction and environment creation, so that the graduates can meet the requirements of the convention for competency. Shipping companies should also value the diversity of seafarers and strive to create more inclusive workplaces and living environments to maximize the potential of each seafarer.

Classroom teaching is a key link in achieving talent cultivation goals. It is a necessary process to enhance students' professional knowledge and job competency. In the process of classroom teaching, teachers should arrange the content and process of teaching and training reasonably based on the differences in students, knowledge, and skills, research and explore effective classroom teaching and training models, and effectively improve the quality of classroom teaching and training. There are many factors that can improve the quality of classroom teaching, and one of the most important ones is how to guide students to follow the teacher's ideas and maintain their enthusiasm for learning. During classroom listening or training, one can engage in active thinking, interaction, and communication with the teaching teacher. In order to better improve the quality of classroom teaching and training, adapt to the new requirements of teaching and training in the new era, a "dual teacher" classroom teaching and training model is adopted for the same classroom. The main lecturer is responsible for imparting and teaching the main knowledge and skills. During the teaching process of the main lecturer, the auxiliary lecturer acts as a dual identity of both the teacher and the student in the classroom. At key teaching stages and knowledge points, they timely guide students to learn and think through various means, so that students can deepen their understanding and mastery of knowledge and skills.

Breakfast cereals were produced from blends of yellow maize-Soybean composite and firm-ripe banana flours.  A Composite flour blend was formulated by mixing yellow maize flour and soybean flour in the ratio of 70:30. Then, five samples of breakfast cereals were produced by substituting firm-ripe banana flour with the composite flour at the following ratios: 95:5 =A, 90:10 = B, 85:15 = C, 80:20 = D, 75:25 =E, and a 100% composite flour blend of yellow maize and Soybean flour (100:0 = F) served as a control. The functionality of the flour blends was assessed. The breakfast cereals were assessed of their proximate composition, anti-nutrient content, in-vitro protein and starch digestibility, and sensory qualities using standard methods. Results revealed that, Bulk density of the samples ranged from 0.90-0.97 g/cm3. Foaming capacity increased significantly from 3.28 to 9.83 %, water absorption capacity increased from 2.60 to 2.40 % while oil absorption capacity decreased from 0.68 to 1.10 % with increased in the percentage composition of firm-ripe banana flour in the blend. Swelling capacity and Gelation temperature ranged from 2.16 to 3.33 % and 72.33 to 75.66 ℃ respectively. Values of protein (9.31 – 12.65 %), lipid (3.61 – 4.94 %), ash (3.16 – 4.22 %) and calorie (372.85 – 382.76 kcal/100g) decreased, while fibre (2.90 – 4.53 %) and carbohydrate (53.92 – 75.77 %) increased, with increasing substitution of firm-ripe banana flour. Phytate (0.57 to 15.45 mg/100g), tannin (40.25-82.92 mg/100g), oxalate (5.24-8.84 mg/100g) and saponin (3.92 to 10.28 mg/100g) were within safe-limits. In-vitro protein digestibility increased from 30.87 to 35.95 % showing significant increase (p˂0.05) with increasing substitution of firm-ripe banana flour, while invitro starch digestibility ranged from 31.74 to 16.21 %. Breakfast cereals developed with up to 10% banana flour compared favourably with Control in all sensory attributes assessed and were acceptable by consumers when served with cold milk.
