Age and Gender Differences in Evaluating the Pedagogical Usability of E-Learning Materials
Authors: Djalev Liubomir , Bogdanov Stanislav
Published: December 2019

The purpose of the study is to examine the pedagogical usability of interactive e-learning materials for foreign language practice. It is based upon two studies of the expected between-group and within-group differences among participants in the educational process. The sample consists of two groups – lecturers and students, a total of 100 participants, each evaluating four materials specifically prepared for this study. Two consecutive repeated measures ANOVA were conducted in which the gender/age, the position of the participants in the educational process, and usability dimensions were the independent variables. Results indicated that all independent variables and their interactions have a significant effects on the evaluations of the pedagogical usability. Women tend to assign higher values than men. Аge groups generally differ in their evaluations, although there is a tendency to give similar ratings for the individual dimensions of pedagogical usability. The 31-40 years age group evaluates the materials higher while the lowest evaluations are given by the groups of 21-30 and 50+ year old participants. Students tend to rate the pedagogical usability systemically higher than the lecturers. Usability dimensions also have a significant effect on evaluations. The most prominent feature of the materials, by a great margin, is their Applicability. The findings corroborate previous research which show age and gender differences in web usability do exist. We conclude that these differences exist as much in pedagogical usability as in technical usability. Further investigations are suggested to explore more deeply the differences in the perceived pedagogical value of e-learning materials as this has implications for instructional designers, teachers and learners alike.
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Teacher's Perceptions and Use of Mobile Devices and Applications
Authors: Bensalem Elias
Published: December 2019

This paper reports on a study of how a group of tertiary level EFL teachers perceived and used mobile devices in their teaching and personal learning. One hundred and fifty teachers (66 female, 84 male) from public universities in Saudi Arabia completed an online questionnaire. Results showed that the majority of participants used mobile devices and applications in their teaching and learning. Survey data showed that the vast majority of teachers had positively perceived and frequently used mobile technologies in their teaching and personal learning. In addition, there was a correlation between teachers’ use of mobile technologies in their teaching and their use in learning. There was also a correlation between how teachers perceived the value of mobile technologies in learning, and how they use them in their teaching.
Echoes of the Infernal Machine: 1940s French and English Literature of Resistance and Collaboration as a Revolution in the Mythic Imagination
Authors: Fernée Tadd Graham
Published: December 2019

This article comparatively examines French and English literature based on two novels published in 1947, Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano and Jean-Louis Curtis’ The Forests of Night. Both novels employ the mythic device to construct narratives on the twilight of the British Empire and the German occupied French Vichy regime, respectively, depicting experiences of resistance and collaboration on the eve of and during the Second World War. Both invent a system of symbolic imagery modelled on the Surrealist template in Jean Cocteau’s The Infernal Machine, that turns the classical mythic device still prevalent in the early 20th century (i.e. in Joyce or Eliot) upside down. The revolution in Mythic Imagination follows the Structuralist Revolution initiated by Durkheim, Saussure and Bachelard, evacuating fixed ontological architecture to portray relational interdependency without essence. These novels pursue overlapping ethical investigations, on “non-interventionism” in Lowry and “fraternity” in Curtis. The novels raise questions about the relation between colonialism and fascism and the impact of non-Western mythic universes (i.e. Hinduism) upon the Mythic Imagination. They have implications for our understanding of gender relations, as well as the value of political activism and progress.
Milton’s Two-Handed Engine as a Conceptual Metaphor
Authors: Tindol Robert
Published: December 2019

One of the longstanding mysteries of English poetry is the identification of the “two-handed engine” from John Milton’s 1638 poem “Lycidas,” with which Saint Peter threatens to “strike once, and strike no more” the clergy who have been remiss in their duties. A new way of looking at the image is to read the entire passage with George Lakoff and Mark Turner’s theory of conceptual metaphors in mind. The strength of this approach is to show that identification of the two-handed engine should be considered within the context of the entire poem. As many commentators have argued, Lycidas’s posthumous fate as the “genius of the shore” does not rest solely in the actions of Saint Peter, but instead involves a reconciliation that amalgamates elements of both Christianity and the classical world as well as nature. The conceptual metaphor thus provides a single combinatory image.
Metadiscourse, Writer Identity and Reader Construction among Novice Arabic-Speaking ESL Writers
Authors: DeCoursey Christina A
Published: December 2019

This study used qualitative analyses to explore novice ESL writers’ concepts of writers, readers and texts. Metadiscourse studies tabulate frequencies of discourse markers in order to characterise the different ways novices and experts, native-speakers and non-native speakers, construct themselves as writers, engage with their readers, and guide readers through their text. But the picture created by these descriptive statistics lacks many content areas voiced by student writers, including their reliance on visual content, and their emotions. Student writers’ experiences in a world saturated by visual media and marketing views are also factors shaping how they construct their identities as writers, the identities of their projected readers, and how they understand what they are doing when writing text. This study used content and transitivity analyses to assess how Arabic native-speaker novices understand themselves as writers, how they project their readers’ identities, and how they try to engage them. Results show that visuals are indistinct from text, and verbs of seeing are used for reader understanding, in novice writers’ sense of their texts, and how they understand engaging the reader. These novices have a demographically granular assessment of audiences, but aim to please readers with expected content rather than challenge them with academic content, and they downplay important elements of teacher talk, syllabus and second-language (L2) composition instruction, particularly data, research, structure and language.
Attitudes towards Democracy in Bulgaria: The Importance of Social Inequalities
Authors: Minkov Zhivko
Published: December 2019

This research is an attempt to examine the developmental relationship between democracy and the socioeconomic conditions in Bulgaria. The assumption is that one of the factors contributing to the negative attitude towards democracy in Bulgaria is the high level of social inequality. After discussing the relevance of studying democracy and socioeconomic conditions from a developmental perspective, the paper traces the socioeconomic development of Bulgaria from 1989 to date and examines public perceptions of social inequality in the country. The research has not revealed any overall negative public attitude towards democracy in Bulgaria. However, the findings have demonstrated a clear tendency for the public support for democracy to decline reflecting the growth of social inequality.

Authors: R Shalini , S Sasikala
Published: December 2019

Diabetic retinopathy is an ophthalmic inflammation caused by diabetes which ends in visual defacement if not diagnosed earlier and that has two types namely Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR). NPDR features are present in the earliest stage and systematic detection of these features can improve the diagnosis of the disease severity formerly. Several detection methods exists previously, still there is performance lack on large datasets. The objective of this study is detecting NPDR features from diabetic retinaopathy fundus images of large datasets with good performance level. The study has investigated different fuzzy based systems and to execute the objective; GK_FCM approach is proposed which integrates Gaussian Kernel function in conventional FCM. The execution has four phases, initially the input image undergoes preprocessing using green channel extraction, median filter to enhance the image quality and background removal is performed with extended minima transform technique, mathematical arithmetic operation and pixel replacement method to remove the outlier called Fovea (FV).

Research on stock prices is still interesting for researchers. As in this study, ANTM's stock price closing data is used as a data set that is processed to be then predicted in the future. The Neural Network method is a method that is very widely used by researchers because of its various advantages. While the Discrete Wavelet Transform method is used to transform data to improve data quality so that it is expected to improve Neural Network performance. Based on experiments conducted by the Neural Network method with the Binary Sigmoid activation function which also carried out data transformation with Discrete Wavelet Transform, it has produced a smaller RMSE than prediction experiments without using data transformation with Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Človekovo strmljenje po večni lepoti
Authors: Cunk Anže
Published: December 2019

Človek je ustvarjen po Božji podobi, o čemer lahko beremo v Svetem pismu, v poročilu o stvarjenju. To je eden izmed glavnih razlogov, da že po svoji naravi stremi k večni Lepoti, ki je Bog sam. Človekova lepota je bila pogosto navdih številnim avtorjem. Tako v naši razpravi želimo najprej prikazati nekatere temeljne vidike razumevanja lepote skozi zgodovino, postaviti njeno izhodišče v Boga Stvarnika ter na koncu pokazati in poudariti, kako se ta lepota odraža v bogoslužju, ki je izraz našega največjega češčenja in zahvaljevanja. Ker pa je pri bogoslužju prostor samo za najlepše in najplemenitejše, kar človek lahko podari Bogu, je toliko pomembneje, da ga ohranimo čisto in neokrnjeno v duhu liturgične prenove II. vatikanskega cerkvenega zbora ter vanj ne vnašamo trenutnih »modnih muh«, ki ustvarjajo zmedo, razklanost in ga na koncu siromašijo.
Aktivno ustvarjanje glasbe kot način za zmanjševanje socialne anksioznosti mladostnikov – pilotska raziskava
Authors: Erzar Marko , Horvat Klara , Klun Zarja , Maraž Maja , Mihelič Kristjan , Švajger Drago
Published: December 2019

V članku, ki temelji na pilotski raziskavi »Aktivno ustvarjanje glasbe kot način za zmanjševanje socialne anksioznosti mladostnikov«, smo raziskovali, kakšen vpliv ima glasba na možgane mladostnikov in kako lahko to znanje uporabimo za čustveno opismenjevanje mladostnikov, ki so bili vključeni v raziskavo. V začetnem delu članka smo se osredotočili na mladostnika in razvoj mladostniških možganov ter na pomen glasbe v tem ključnem obdobju razvoja. Nato smo se osredotočili na glasbo in pozitivne učinke, ki jih ima na človeške možgane, ter na možnost povezave med glasbo in učenjem čustvene regulacije. Glasba je že od nekdaj tisto, kar ljudi povezuje, saj je že sam glas prvi stik z muzikaličnostjo, ki nas obdaja od spočetja naprej. Glas v sebi nosi različne čustvene nianse, sporoča, v kakšnem fizičnem in čustvenem stanju je naš sogovornik, ter predstavlja most med posameznikom in soljudmi. Skupina mladostnikov, ki je sodelovala v naši raziskavi, se je učila uporabljati ravno glas kot orodje za čustveno oporo. Skozi vaje kultiviranja glasu kot notranje moči človeka so se hkrati učili tudi čustvene regulacije, krepili občutek za jaz, spoznavali sami sebe, presegali pričakovanja, ki so jih imeli o sebi, obenem pa se zabavali in gradili svoj izraz v skupini. Raziskovali smo še, na kakšen način lahko uporabljamo pevske in instrumentalne tehnike v terapevtske namene – čeprav naša raziskava ni bila namenjena raziskovanju učinkov terapije z glasbo. Vseeno pa smo ob oblikovanju pevskih in igralnih delavnic za mladostnike ugotovili, da je bil naš cilj dosežen – glas in učenje ob glasbi smo uporabili kot terapevtsko intervencijo pri delu z mladimi, kjer se je pokazalo, da sta se stanje socialne anksioznosti in zadržanosti zmanjšala.
Ali je situacijska etika lahko krščanska etika?
Authors: Goršak Bernard
Published: December 2019

Posinodalna apostolska spodbuda Amoris laetitia papeža Frančiška je bila deležna precej kritik, povzetih tudi v pismu Correctio filialis de haeresibus propagatis. V prispevku se osredotočamo zgolj na vprašanja, ki se porajajo v zvezi z možnimi etičnimi interpretacijami nekaterih odlomkov te spodbude. Predmet našega zanimanja je vprašanje, ali se s tem dokumentom situacijska etika v okvirih katoliškega nauka ne samo dovoljuje, ampak postavlja kot eden izmed njegovih nosilcev? Na to se navezuje vprašanje, ali je situacijska etika, kot jo je utemeljil njen avtor J. Fletcher, sploh lahko krščanska etika oziroma, kateri so pogoji, da situacijska etika postane krščanska etika? Prispevek ponuja odgovore na navedena vprašanja predvsem v okvirih tako imenovane trilateralne krščanske situacijske etike, ki v ospredje postavlja odnos z drugim preko Boga. Zagovarjamo stališče, da je v Svetem pismu dovolj argumentov, ki potrjujejo tovrstni pristop k etičnemu vrednotenju.
Teološka antropologija pri prof. Antonu Strletu
Authors: Kelvišar Miran
Published: December 2019

Teološka antropologija spada med mlajše teološke vede. Prispevek obravnava odnos prof. Strleta do teološke antropologije. Najprej podaja razumevanje njene definicije, ki izhaja iz biblično-kristološke osnove in na osnovi zadnjega cerkvenega zbora predstavlja pet Strletovih vidikov teološke antropologije. Prikazana je problematika teološke antropologije, ki obsega Strletov odnos do Bultmannove in Rahnerjeve zahteve po teologiji, ki naj bi bila bolj antropološka in transcendentalna. V to problematiko je A. Strle vključeval tudi kritično obravnavani odnos med teološko antropologijo ter drugimi teološkimi in humanističnimi vedami. Prispevek izpostavlja, da je Strletova teološka antropologija kristocentrična, da je človek poklican v občestvo z Bogom in da se skrivnost človeka razodeva v Kristusu, poslednjem Adamu.
Understanding the Basis of Upbringing and Education in the Orthodox Church
Authors: Sando Dragomir
Published: December 2019

Authentic Christianity has its own concept of upbringing and education, based on the Biblical perspective of man and of entire reality, and developed and elaborated during past centuries through practice and experience. The upbringing offered by the modern culture has always been and still is predominantly humanistic. The ideal of upbringing and its goals, as well as the methods of education, depend on basic presumptions of such culture. Like everything else, pedagogical thought depends on the apprehension of the world, of man and of their final goals. The term “education” comprehended this way gets completely new, different contents and meaning. It is not just a mere acquisition of knowledge from one or several fields, but it has more of an anthropological and ethical and even deep spiritual meaning. Educational – to put it differently – formation means renewal of God’s image in man, its discovery and further development. Simple people, uncontaminated by superficial experience of solely intellectual upbringing, have never forgotten that deep ethical meaning of the world image which also implies organic relation between education and ethics, education and spiritual life in general.

An increase in the 12C+12C fusion rate from resonances at astrophysical energies
Authors: Tumino Aurora
Published: December 2019

Carbon burning powers pivotal scenarios that influence the fate of stars, such as the late evolutionary stages of massive stars (exceeding eight solar masses), superbursts from accreting neutron stars and progenitors of Type Ia supernovae. It proceeds through the 12C+12C fusion reactions that produce an \( \alpha \) particle and neon-20 or a proton and sodium-23 —that is, 12C(12C, \( \alpha \) )20Ne and 12C(12C, \( p \))23Na— at temperatures greater than \( 0.4 \cdot 10^9 \) K, corresponding to astrophysical energies exceeding a megaelectronvolt (MeV), at which such nuclear reactions are more likely to occur in stars. The cross-sections for those carbon fusion reactions (probabilities that are required to calculate the rate of the reactions) have never been measured below 2 MeV because of exponential suppression arising from the Coulomb barrier (the Coulomb barrier is around 6 MeV). The reference rate at temperatures below \( 1.2\cdot 10^9 \) K relies on extrapolations that ignore the effects of possible low-lying resonances. In Tumino et al. (2018), we report the measurement of the 12C(12C, \( \alpha_{0,1} \)) 20Ne and 12C(12C, \( p_{0,1} \)) 23Na reaction rates (where the subscripts 0 and 1 stand for the ground and first excited states of 20Ne and 23Na, respectively) at centre-of-mass energies from 2.7 to 0.8 MeV using the Trojan Horse method and the deuteron in 14N. This is an indirect technique aiming at measuring low-energy nuclear reactions unhindered by the Coulomb barrier and free of electron screening. The deduced cross-sections exhibit several resonances that are responsible for a very large increase of the reaction rate at the relevant temperatures. In particular, around \( 5\cdot 10^8 \) K, the reaction rate is more than 25 times larger than the reference value. This finding may have significant implications such as lowering the temperatures and densities required for the ignition of carbon burning in massive stars and decreasing the superburst ignition depth in accreting neutron stars in the direction to reconcile observations with theoretical models.

In today's world, large amount of attention is given to the surface roughness and surface micro hardness of the material as it's mechanical properties are greatly influenced by the surface finish. Surface Roughness is generally a measure of irregularities of the surface. It is essential to analyze the surface roughness of the material in order to avoid the failure of the material. A large number of parameters are involved analyzing the surface roughness such as type of tool, tool material, work piece material, machining operation, cutting parameters and cutting fluids. This paper aims to show that how surface roughness of the material reacts when different cutting parameters are adopted using face milling operation and how it reacts when finishing of the surface is done using roller burnishing operation experimentally and validate the results using FEM analysis using DEFORM 3D.

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is an developing area for research in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) area. The normal method is to adapt for underwater use presently accessible terrestrial architectures and well-proven architectures. Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) have drawn a lot of concentration to help multiple applications such as tracking pollution, tsunami warnings, offshore exploration, tactical tracking, etc. For many applications, the efficiency and reliability of the network in terms of high performance, energy conservation, low bit error rate (BER) and reduced delay are prerequisites. However, UWSN's unique characteristics such as low bandwidth available, big delay in propagation, extremely vibrant network topology, and high probability of error pose many difficulties in the development of effective and reliable communication protocols. Therefore, in this proposed work, along with its mathematical model, we suggest a protocol that focuses on improving network reliability and effectiveness through cooperative routing and sink mobility. For reliable data transmission, cooperative transmission is well known. Based on their residual energy data and depth , prospective relay and target nodes for cooperative routing are chosen in this algorithm. Data from the source node is transferred in a cooperative way to the target node via the relay node. Mobile Sinks collect information straight from the nodes of the location. We consider as selection parameters the depth threshold of the source node, the residual energy of the destination nodes/ potential relay and the SNR of the relating source node to the potential relay / destination node. In this work, two distinct selection criteria for partner nodes are also introduced and contrasted. Partner node selection (relay / destination node) for cooperative routing should be carried out on the grounds of a certain criterion in order to achieve efficient outcomes. Based on the extensive simulations carried out in MATLAB, we note that our suggested method increases performance in terms of energy efficiency, network life and decreases BER relative to the existing depth-based routing protocols.

Weather forecasting is an essential predictive challenge that has depended primarily on model-based methods. Collection of data about the different weather parameters is needed a smart environment. Recent developments in machine learning (ML) made possible to collect the data. The data from input sensors is then read by Arduino, which acts as server. The sensors collect the data of various environmental parameters and provide it to Arduino, which act as a base station. It then transmits the data using WIFI and the processed data will be displayed on laptop through accessing the server that is on the receiver side. In this paper, new directions are explored with forecasting weather as a data intensive challenge that involves inferences across space and time. Machine Learningmakes predictions through a unique hybrid approach that combines discriminatively trained predictive models and a deep neural network. The Deep Learning algorithm utilized here is Value-Based – Temporal Difference Algorithm. This in turnmodels the joint statistics of a set of weather-related variables. It is shown that the base model can be enhanced with spatial interpolation that uses learned long-range spatial dependencies. An efficient learning and inference procedure is also devised, that allows for large scale optimization of the model parameters. The methods are evaluated with experiments on real-world meteorological data that highlight the promise of the approach.

In Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), forwarding probability should consider neighbour density, link quality and residual energy of the forwarding nodes. Also, redundant broadcasting by checking the inter-arrival times should be considered. In this paper, we propose to design a adaptive broadcast routing protocol using Fuzzy logic system. In this protocol, a set of forwarding nodes are selected based on the residual energy, coverage probability and channel condition. The rebroadcasting or forwarding probability is adaptively adjusted based on the 1-hop neighbour density and relative mobility of neighbours using the fuzzy logic system. Then the selected forwarding nodes forward the route request packets with the probability given by forwarding probability. Before forwarding the packets, the number of redundant packets exceeding a threshold value, are removed by checking successful status of delivered packets. By simulation results, we show that ABRP minimizes the delay and forwarding ratio by increasing the packet delivery ratio and average residual energy.

Designing and implementing algorithms for medium and large scale quantum computers is not easy. In previous work we have suggested, and developed, the idea of using machine learning techniques to train a quantum system such that the desired process is ``learned,'' thus obviating the algorithm design difficulty. This works quite well for small systems. But the goal is macroscopic physical computation. Here, we implement our learned pairwise entanglement witness on Microsoft's Q\#, one of the commercially available gate model quantum computer simulators; we perform statistical analysis to determine reliability and reproducibility; and we show that after training the system in stages for an incrementing number of qubits (2, 3, 4, \ldots) we can infer the pattern for mesoscopic $N$ from simulation results for three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-qubit systems. Our results suggest a fruitful pathway for general quantum computer algorithm design and for practical computation on noisy intermediate scale quantum devices.
