One item needed improvement on the basis of discrimination index (D). Thirty seven (37) items were good items on the basis of discrimination index (D). Three items were rejected on the basis of phi-co-efficient. Two items needed improvement on the basis of phi-co-efficient. Forty items were good on the basis of phi-coefficient. Test has high positive test reliability value.22 distracters were to be rejected as attempted by less than 5%.The distracters D(27), B(28), A(31), D(37), B(41), A(43) and B(10) were distracters attracted by high achievers more than low achievers, so they were rejected.
Bilingual Education in Sri Lankan Schools: An Analysis of Difficulties in Speaking English Experienced By Students in Selected Schools in Sri Lanka
Authors: MAHAWATTHA M.D.N.M.U.
Published: September 2019

Bilingual Education was introduced to Sri Lanka in 2001, initially through Amity School Programs. In this Bilingual Program, English is the medium of instruction in selected subjects from grade 6 to grade 11. The students of Bilingual Program are expected to be competent both in First Language- L1 (Sinhala/Tamil) and Target Language (English). However, the students find it difficult to express themselves in English especially in academic performances. The research findings of NIE, 2007, too, correspond with the relevant observation. I adapted the descriptive method to collect data by giving questionnaires to students in the sample of 60 students and 20 teachers including English teachers, non â€“ English teachers who work in the Bilingual Program and teachers who work in Activity Based Oral English (ABOE) Program in primary education. An analysis of collected data suggests a 65% of the sample is not expressive themselves in English, especially in academic performances. This revelation is important because it helps to anticipate the propositions find in Bilingual Education and to take necessary steps to guide its move. In this paper, I try to interpret the difficulties in speaking in English faced by students in the Bilingual Education Program with the help of theoretical explanation.

Authors: Atanas Jean Pierre
Published: September 2019

Understanding the true reasons behind studentsâ€™ failure, and bringing preventive measures to this issue at early stages are invaluable in the educational learning process. Preventing problems such as language deficiency or misclassification of the students in the appropriate academic levels is primordial for any educational institution. Many factors influence the learning process of the students, such as the demographic characteristics, educational background as well as language barrier. This work highlights the most preponderant factors affecting studentsâ€™ advancement in the learning process and provides support to academic administrators. It uses some of state of the art classification and regression algorithms in the application domain of predicting studentsâ€™ progress. Datasets were filtered and trained using predictive algorithms. It is shown that Science learning and English language skills are highly correlated. Datasets are not always suitable for data mining unless it is preprocessed and well adapted to the context being studied. A tool has been developed to preprocess the data provided that feeds into Weka Data Mining Software to profile studentsâ€™ performance.
The Role of Education within a Knowledge Based Society: Teachersâ€™ Perception on how e-Learning Systems can be integrated in Classroom Activities
Authors: Eftimie Raluca Cristina
Published: September 2019

The development of the interactive, collaborative and dynamic e-learning methods is considered the primary mode of evolution of the Romanian and international educational systems. Most of the studies have revealed the widespread benefits of these technologies and exemplifying their applicability and their evolution within the education systems. However, few studies clearly identify the role that e-learning platforms have in the improvement of teaching - learning and how these technologies can be integrated into the classroom. This article proposes a new approach related to the integration of these systems while providing educational acts, starting by identifying and understanding the perceptions that teachers have regarding this type of innovative technology, explaining and interpreting the results of a qualitative research conducted within Romanian educational market. Teacherâ€™s perception on the role of e-learning education is interpreted as a factor, which influences the quality of the use and the integration of these technologies in the Romanian educational environment, reaffirming the need for a coherent implementation of these instruments at a specific school level but also at general educational environment integration.

Education is the key factor for development in each country. It needs wise management. Application of human resource standards, including knowledge standards have led to a remarkable improvement in principals' performance and the progress of the country consequently. Researchers determined the knowledge standards for educational administrators of elementary schools in Mashhad due to the lack of them in Iran. Some of these knowledge standards of developed countries and according to their importance in terms of principals are as follows: 1-Having knowledge related to ethical practices, 2- The application of technology to improve education, 3-Active community involvement by creating a shared responsibility and respond to the interests and needs of community members and parents by mutual cooperation and mobilize community resources in line with school success and student, 4-Reaction and the influence of cultural background, legal, economic, social, political in macro-level, 5- Having high expectations from students and staff, 6- Managing organization as efficient, operations and resources for efficient and effective learning environment, 7- Create, develop, express, implementation and monitoring of learning, insight and support, strengthen and sustain continuous learning culture in schools to enhance student's learning and staff's professional growth. The questionnaire had seven components and 69 items. Principals of elementary school in Mashhad gave a mark to each item. The results showed that the majority of participants in this study gave worth for principals' knowledge standards and their scores were between 19 and 20 out of 20. In addition, the fourth components had the highest priority based on them. It was to have the knowledge associated with the ethical practices. More results are subsequently explained in the paper.

Presents Spoken Texts in Multimedia Instructions as an Alternative to Printed Texts
Authors: Jabbour Khayrazad Kari
Published: September 2019

Multimedia instructions refer to presentations that contain graphics and texts information. The graphics can include pictures, drawings, diagram, chart, animation, video, or simulations. In addition, texts can include printed texts or spoken texts. Multimedia education occurs when learners create mental representations caused by combining texts and relevant graphics simultaneously in lessons. Research evidence shows that not all multimedia instructions are equally useful. How can we use multimedia instructional to help learners to grasp knowledge? Do learners learn better when multimedia instructions present spoken text in multimedia instructions as an alternative to printed text principle? This article examines whether there is any benefit on supplementing spoken text with multimedia. Specifically, do learners learn more from spoken text and graphics, rather than from printed text and graphics? Meaningful learning engages the learner into excessive cognitive load processing during learning; on the other hand, the learnerâ€™s cognitive capacity is limited. For that, reasons multimedia instructional designers must take into account the learner's cognitive load processing. One of the obstacles of multimedia instructions is the possibility of overloading the learnersâ€™ cognitive capacity. Multimedia instructional designers must design multimedia instruction in ways that minimize the possibility of overloading the learnersâ€™ cognitive capacity. Also will examines the limitations of presenting spoken rather than printed texts; Reasons for presenting spoken rather than printed texts; Evidence for Using Spoken Rather Than Printed Text; And when this principle applies.
An Easy-to-use and Economic Experimental Apparatus for Motion Control Education
Authors: Ha Manh-Tuan
Published: September 2019

Motion control education in engineering requires hands-on experiments to catch the concept of feedback control, but experimental apparatus for motion control experiments is expensive, complex in mechanism and is hard to use it in general. In this paper, we develop an easy-to-use and economic experimental apparatus for motion control education using an open-source free operation system LINUX and a free real-time kernel RTAI. The developed apparatus is reliable in mechanical structure, and fast enough to realize 100 microsecond sampling time for real-time control purpose, and so it can test conventional PID control logics, various input shaping control logics and advanced motion control logics with cheap prices. The validity of the developed motion control apparatus is demonstrated by testing P, PD control logics and ZV input shapers experimentally.

Research objectives were to determine a systematic framework and to blend a causal model of learning orientation, quality of leader-member exchange, goal orientation, and workgroup performance of pharmaceutical company employees in Thailand. The study reported the responses of 583 operational employees from 39 pharmaceutical companies operating in different parts of Thailand. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using SPSS (version 11.5) and path analysis using LISREL (version 8). Research findings indicated that dimensions of learning orientation, quality of leader-member exchange, and goal orientation have mediated positive effect on workgroup performance. Goal orientation positively mediates the relationships between learning orientation and workgroup performance and between quality of leader-member exchange and workgroup performance. Furthermore, learning orientation is positively correlated with the quality of leader-member exchange.
Enhanced UML Methodology with New Hybrid Diagrams: An ATM Application
Authors: Mohamed Sherif Magdy
Published: September 2019

Object oriented proved to be the most important software engineering tools. The main reason behind the importance is that, Object Oriented covers the most powerful programming languages such as Java and C++. UML is a modeling language which is a part of object oriented and it was created to provide the software development industry with analysis and design techniques based on some diagrams. The most common UML diagrams in use are Class and Activity diagram. To implement any system using object oriented UML, the programmer needs at least two or three diagrams beside the Use Case diagram in order to understand a full picture of the system. There is no diagram which can show the full picture of the system. In this research, new methodology called â€œTouch and Goâ€ has been generated by the researchers to implement the system. In this methodology, analysis and design are merged in one stage called Touch. Implementation and testing stage are merged in one stage called Go. The Class and Activity diagram are merged to introduce new integrated diagram called Enhanced Class Activity (ECA) diagram and the normal Activity diagram will be modified and improved as Activity Remarked Class (ARC) diagram. Analytical analysis of the new methodology is implemented in ATM machine system which can be later implemented using Java language or any other Object Oriented language. A powerful system like ATM is chosen to apply the new technique and it has been shown clearly how the methodology is working perfectly with such system. This study helps to reduce the number of diagrams that are being used to implement the system, reducing total time of implementation and making the coding stage easier by using only few numbers of diagrams.

В недалеком будущем инициатива План S, возможно, в корне изменит

рынок научной периодики и мир откажется от подписной бизнес-модели в пользу

бизнес-модели открытого доступа. Такой переход ставит перед исследователями,

управленцами, библиотекарями и научными издателями из развивающихся стран

новые вызовы и задачи, поскольку подписные и публикационные политики этих стран

еще только находятся в процессе становления, но уже должны быть оперативно

переосмыслены и изменены в соответствии с веяниями Плана S. В этом исследовании

на примере публикаций ученых Беларуси и Украины в журналах издательства Elsevier

мы попытались оценить приблизительную стоимость и перспективы перехода этих

двух стран на открытую модель научной коммуникации. Мы пришли к выводу, что

сейчас Беларусь и Украина вкладывают недостаточное количество денег в науку для

осуществления перехода на открытую модель. Предложенная нами методика

подсчета суммы за публикацию в открытом доступе статей ученых страны может быть

использована в процессе подготовки трансформативных соглашений для

развивающихся стран.

Рассмотрены наукометрические характеристики белорусских журналов, индексируемых в Science Citation Index Expanded в сравнении с журналами, относящимися к той же тематической категории и имеющими лучшие значения импакт-фактора, а также с журналами, имеющими значение импакт-фактора, соответствующее последней позиции второго квартиля (т.н. «журналы середины списка»).

Определено, во сколько раз значение импакт-фактора журнала той же предметной категории, который имеет наибольшее значение этого показателя, и значение импакт-фактора «журнала середины списка» превышает его значение у индексируемых белорусских журналов. Нас интересовало, сколько ссылок белорусский журнал «должен» получить «в дополнение» к уже полученным, чтобы иметь импакт-фактор, значение которого совпадало бы со значением такового у «журнала середины списка» журналов той же тематической категории.

Оценивались перспективы индексирования Science Citation Index Expanded тех белорусских журналов, которые пока представлены в Emerging Sources Citation Index. Редакционным органам рассматриваемых журналов даны рекомендации, направленные на укрепление позиций журналов в Science Citation Index Expanded или на перенос их в данную базу данных из Emerging Sources Citation Index.

Da atualidade de Goffman para a análise de casos de interação social: deficientes, educação e estigma
Authors: Puppin Andrea
Published: September 2019

Apresenta os resultados de um estudo de caráter exploratório, desenvolvido há alguns anos acerca da categoria social da "deficiência física", a qual foi entendida como fenômeno que apela para leituras situadas no âmbito de uma sociologia das atitudes, e para tal nos servimos dos escritos de Goffman, contextualizando e relativizando a perspectiva teórica que inscreve esse autor. A proposta é juntar observações de campo a relatos colhidos em entrevistas no intuito de apreender a partir da escola vivências de situações de estigma passíveis de circunscrever a vivência social dos chamados deficientes. Foi historicizado e problematizado o conceito de deficiência associando-o ao problema da constituição de identidades. A dinâmica de construção do texto possui uma proposta de recorte-colagem de cenas e depoimentos em estilo puzzle, assumindo que foram construídas interpretações sobre interpretações ao lidar com as representações dos entrevistados, produzindo um discurso que emoldura discursos outros e que pode ser também circunscrito por molduras outras, conforme indica o jogo de possibilidades de Goffman.

Palavras-chave: deficiência física; estigma; escolas especiais.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of an exploratory kind, effected some years ago about the social class of physical deficiency. It has been understood as a phenomenon that demands readings placed inside the context of a type of sociology of attitudes; for such an intention, we turn towards Goffman's writings establishing a context and rendering the theoretical perspective that inscribes this author more relativelly. We decided to assemble field observations and stories taken from interviews, with the intention to seize, starting from school life, the mark of stigma situation liable to circunscribe the social life of the so-called handicaped person. The concept of "deficiency" has been historicised and problematized by ourselves, who have associated it to the problem of identity constitution. The dynamics of constructing a text taken the form of "découpage-collage" of scenes and testimonies in a puzzle style, assuming that we have built interpretations on dealing with representations of interviewed persons – producing thus a discourse that frames other discourses and that may also be circunscribed by other frames, as shown by Goffman's possibility games.

A Study Comparing the Educational Support for Students Experiencing Learning Disabilities in Australia and Saudi Arabia
Authors: Mahel Alawfi Dr. Adel
Published: September 2019

Learning Disabilities also referred to as (LDs) are very common despite their variations in preference estimates, which are highly dependent on the definition and the nature of the applied diagnostic approach. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the educational support systems for people with learning disabilities in Australia and Saudi Arabia. Apparently, it can be heart wrecking trying to address the challenges presented by people with LDs. This is especially considering that LDs are life-long problems that can neither be treated nor fixed. Fortunately, with the right interventions and support systems, children with the learning disabilities have the potential to succeed in school and after school lives. Considering that Australia and Saudi Arabia are at different stages of development, the support systems may be varied as well. Although there are different support systems, this paper has primarily focused on three supportive approaches that are applicable in the two countries. Firstly, it has looked at the supportive rules, Acts, and policies. Secondly, the study has also undertaken a comparative analysis of the supportive education systems and teachers in the two countries. Finally, there is a discussion of the supportive government funding.

Authors: Pásztory Zoltán , Tsalagkas Dimitrios , Horváth Norbert , Börcsök Zoltán
Published: September 2019

Thermally treated and ground poplar bark was used as the raw material for pressed bark insulation panels. Bark chips were treated for one, two, and three hours at 180 °C after a slow warming, drying process. The physical and mechanical properties of the pressed panels were investigated and compared to each other and to the control panel made of untreated bark chips. Thermal conductivity showed slight deviations and ranged from 0.064 – 0.067 W·m−1·K−1. The MOR and MOE showed a significant increase of 100%. The internal bond increased by 27% while the water absorption and thickness swelling decreased by 53.8% and 69.1% respectively. Panel density did not change significantly because the target density was the same for every panel type. The mechanical and physical properties of thermal insulation panels made of heat-treated chips increased significantly.

Let K be a finite field. Let X
* be a subset of the a ne space Kn
, which is parameterized by odd cycles. In this paper we give an explicit Gröbner basis for the vanishing ideal, I(X
*), of X
*. We give an explicit formula for the regularity of I(X
*) and finally if X
* is parameterized by an odd cycle of length k, we show that the Hilbert function of the vanishing ideal of X
* can be written as linear combination of Hilbert functions of degenerate torus.
Mitigating Hotspot Issue in WSN Using Sensor Nodes with Varying Initial Energy Levels and Quantification Algorithm
Authors: Balamurali R. , Kathiravan K. , Krishnan T.
Published: September 2019

A typical Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) uses multihop communication rather than direct transmission. In a multi-hop communication, the sensor node communicates the sensed data to its neighbor node, which is comparatively closer to the sink and the receiving node will forward the data to its neighbor node. This process continues until the data reaches the sink. Due to the multihop communication, the nodes closer to the sink have to transmit and receive more data and control packets compared to other nodes. Hence, the nodes closer to sink may deplete their energy at a faster rate and may die soon. This may create network isolation. This issue is called as the Hotspot problem. In this paper, we are proposing a Quantification algorithm for Sensor Nodes with varying Initial Energy Level to mitigate the Hotspot effect.
Evidence for and Against the Validity of Efficient Market Hypothesis
Authors: Leković Miljan
Published: September 2019

The concept of an efficient financial market, in literature known as efficient market hypothesis (EMH), has had a long and difficult development path from the idea itself to its final conception, as one of the central paradigms in modern finance. It has been tested and critically reviewed for decades, and the two basic types of problems it has encountered are theoretical paradoxes and market anomalies. The aim of the paper is to examine the validity of EMH through various financial market efficiency tests and the results of previous research. The intention is to answer the question of whether, despite theoretical paradoxes and market anomalies, the notion of validity can be attributed to the concept of an efficient financial market. In this regard, the paper presents plenty of evidence for and against the validity of weak, semi-strong, and strong form of EMH, to conclude that, even after more than half a century of research, financial literature has not reached a consensus on the presence or absence of the validity of this hypothesis.
The Effects of State Development Banks on the Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Petrović Jadranka
Published: September 2019

The views regarding the role and the need for state development banks have evolved in the 20th century, from considering their role as very important in the 1950s, through the stance of their inadequacy and ineffectiveness, to a renewed interest for public development banks at the beginning of 21st century. In this study we will concentrate on the state development banks as an important instrument of state financial support to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The Republic of Srpska Investment-Development Bank (RSIDB) provided the empirical context for our research. By applying the Mann-Whitney U Test and the correlation analysis the authors examined the effect of RSIDB loans on certain business performance indicators of SMEs. From the results of Mann-Whitney U Test it can be concluded that the average sales, number of employees and net profit in the five-year period after using the RSIDB loan is statistically significantly higher for the RSIDB borrowers compared to non-borrowers. The results of correlation analysis show that there is statistically significant positive correlation of medium strength between the use of RSIDB loans and the total sales, net profit and number of employees in the 5-year period after using the RSIDB loan. The study showed the positive impact of RSIDB loans on the growth of sales, net profit and employment of SME borrowers.
Determinants of Innovation-based Sustainability in Transition and Developing Economies

Technological advancement enhanced by rising competition in a globalising world led to the acceleration of innovation activity. Literature implies that corruption, share of state ownership, and expertise of top management can have a strong influence on firms’ performance and innovation-based sustainability. Using the BEEPS 2012-2014 database, this paper applies cross section analysis to examine this literature implication. Our results imply that larger manufacturing enterprises with experienced top management and international quality assurance certificates that operate in environments with increased corruption levels and competition have higher levels of innovation. In addition, the results show that state ownership is insignificant for innovation activity. In terms of regional analysis, we find that corruption, top management experience, and possession of international quality assurance certificates lead to an increase in product innovation in Balkan and former Soviet countries, while these factors do not create any significant impact on innovation activity within Central European countries. Enterprises faced with fierce competition levels are more innovative in former Soviet and Central European countries than in the Balkans.
Role of RF power on physical properties of RF magnetron sputtered GaN/p-Si(1 0 0) thin film
Authors: Mantarci Asim , Kundakçi Mutlu
Published: September 2019

GaN thin films were deposited on p-Si(1 0 0) substrates using RF magnetron sputtering at various RF powers. Influence of RF power on morphological, optical and structural properties of GaN thin films were investigated and presented in detail. XRD results proved that the films were polycrystalline in structure with (1 0 0) and (1 1 0) planes of hexagonal GaN. It was found that increasing RF power led to deterioration of crystal structure of the films due to increased decomposition of GaN. Stress in GaN thin films was calculated from XRD measurements and the reasons for this stress were discussed. Furthermore, it was analyzed and interpreted whether the experimental measurement results support each other. E2 (high) optical phonon mode of hexagonal GaN was obtained from the analysis of Raman results. UV-Vis spectroscopy results showed that optical band gap of the films varied by changing RF power. The reasons of this variation were discussed. AFM study of the surfaces of the GaN thin films showed that some of them were grown in Stranski-Krastanov mode and others were grown in Frank-Van der Merwe mode. AFM measurements revealed almost homogeneous, nanostructured, low-roughness surface of the GaN thin films. SEM analysis evidenced agglomerations in some regions of surface of the films and their possible causes have been discussed. It has been inferred that morphological, optical, structural properties of GaN thin film can be changed by controlling RF power, making them a potential candidate for LED, solar cell, diode applications.
Evaluation of ground pollution by hydrocarbons using Rock-Eval pyrolysis
Authors: Więcław Dariusz , Sadlik Maria
Published: September 2019

The exploration and utilization of petroleum are potential hazards to the environment. Successful determination of petroleum contamination in ground relies on accurate definition of the type, source and quantity of contaminant. For this purpose the Rock-Eval® pyrolysis was applied, which is a rapid quantitative (Bulk Rock method) and qualitative (fractional composition using Multi-Heating Rates method) technique. Results of Rock-Eval analysis of 13 samples of concrete and 2 samples of gravel taken from the different sites of the petrol station indicate the highest concentration of light hydrocarbons (gasoline and naphtha fractions), up to over 5% wt. in the direct proximity of petrol pumps. Similarly high contamination (almost 4%wt.), was found near fuel tanks. Here the highest contribution has lubricating oil fraction and the tankers providing fuels are probably the source of this pollution. In the gravel collected in the vicinity of the fuel tanks high concentration (over 5 wt.%) of non-pyrolyzable carbon (soot) was recorded, the source of which are probably diesel engines of fuel tankers supplying fuel.
