Inclusive education is a government program that is realized through an inclusive school program to help students with disabilities so that their formal education can be well served. The implementation of inclusive education in Tasikmalaya City and District is less encouraging, various plans for implementing inclusive education need to be taken seriously. The purpose of this study: studying, analyzing, and describing the learning difficulties of dyscalculia students; discuss the challenges or learning process in inclusive schools for dyscalculia students. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative and think aloud was carried out at 4 inclusive schools in Tasikmalaya namely SDN Manggungjaya 1, SDN Sukasirna, SDN Cibungkul and SDN Tanjung 2. The subjects in this study were principals, class teachers in inclusive schools, and dyscalculia students in grades 4, 5 and 6 of each. The methods used in this study were descriptive qualitative and think aloud. The instruments used the researchers themselves and questionnaires. The data were collected using observation, exploration, and interviews, all data obtained analyzed then described narratively. Based on the results of data analysis concluded: dyscalculia students in grades 4, 5 and 6 still have difficulty in reading and counting operations in numbers up to 50, do not understand negative integers. Just learning to study is still very difficult to condition, teachers who often teach dyscalculia students with their own learning styles. Learning is still held by the class teacher when the teacher comes from the Special Needs School.

Pedestrian-Friendly Traffic Signal Control Using SUMO
Authors: Akyol Görkem , Silgu Mehmet Ali , Çelikoğlu Hilmi Berk
Published: August 2019

The center of the Kadıköy area in Istanbul is extremely crowded due to overlap of the terminals for the subway and the marine transit lines. When the Kadıköy-Kartal subway’s terminal is added in the middle of the Kadıköy in 2013 without the analysis on crowd dynamics, vehicular and pedestrian traffic have become much more complicated to be efficiently managed. When the pedestrians have a crossing gap, most of them make the decision of crossing without considering the signal phase. Likewise, when it is a pedestrian clearance phase, there can be situations where all the pedestrians cannot cross the street because of high density and insufficient green time. We therefore propose an adaptive traffic control system considering the traffic flows of road vehicles and pedestrians with field data. We have utilized the Eclipse SUMO micro-simulator in conjunction with TraCI for modeling the case. Comparison of fixed time and adaptive signal controllers is provided. Simulations have shown that, reductions in the delay time for both vehicles and pedestrians are achieved by using adaptive signal controllers.
Recurrent and Non-recurrent Congestion Based Gridlock Detection on Chula-SSS Urban Road Network

Published: August 2019

Traffic congestion on not only highways but also complex urban road networks has attracted the attention of many researchers. Traffic congestion growing in urban road net- works is an inevitably important problem especially for populated cities during rush hours. A traffic blockage can be realized as the source of traffic congestion, which can propagate to form queues and sometimes a gridlock. Traffic blockages are triggered by complicated factors ranging from temporal and spatial situations. Recurrent congestion is a traffic congestion that occurs during morning and evening rush hours e.g. from school buses and parent vehicles to drive their children to-and-from schools. In addition, unforeseen, unexpected events that can cause as non-recurrent traffic congestion e.g. car breakdowns, accidents, road maintenance, and severe weather conditions, which can disorder normal traffic flows and reduce road capacity. Traffic blockage may spread its negative impacts to neighbouring upstream and downstream links. And that can lead to the formation of congestion gridlock, which further reduce traffic flow efficiency in a complex urban road network. These problems are vital but often tough to resolve in urban road networks. In this paper, the Chula-Sathorn SUMO Simulator (Chula-SSS) dataset has been used with Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) to simulate recurrent and non-recurrent congestion cases. The detection is based on the information from simulated lane area detectors. For non-recurrent case, lanes are closed to simulate the gridlock occurrences. With the morning case of calibrated Chula-SSS dataset, both recurrent and nonrecurrent congestion based gridlock have been studied with upstream and downstream nearby detectors and preliminary results are herein reported upon the gridlock status as detected by using different combinations of traffic jam length and mean speed conditions at both the upstream and downstream detectors of every intersection within the critical looped road segments.
Remarks on Traffic Signal Coordination

Published: August 2019

The co-ordination between traffic signals is assumed to be important for the good organization of a transport system. By using an artificial approach to create and analyze a multitude of transportation systems, a few different simple traffic signals programs has been put to the test and compared to each other. The result is that a well co-ordinated system can be outperformed by a non-coordinated signal set-up, where all signals controlers run in (single intersection) actuated mode. Clearly, these results are preliminary and require more investigation.

Making the Cut: The Effectiveness of Teacher Screening and Hiring in the Los Angeles Unified School District
Authors: Bruno Paul , Strunk Katharine O.
Published: August 2019

Many schools and districts have considerable discretion when hiring teachers, yet little is known about how that discretion should be used. Using data from a new teacher screening system in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), we find that performance during screening, and especially performance on specific screening assessments, is significantly and meaningfully predictive of hired teachers’ evaluation outcomes, contributions to student achievement, attendance, and mobility. However, applicants’ performance on individual components of the screening process are differentially predictive of different teacher outcomes, highlighting challenges and potential trade-offs faced by districts during screening.

Authors: Vidyanta Udayan , Rajamanickam Venkatesh
Published: August 2019

This work involved collecting the infographic data for the month of December 2017 from the Delhi editions of top four most-read Hindi newspapers and top four most-read English newspapers in India. This data is organised newspaper-wise, and date-wise with certain parameters of judgement like the content it is depicting, the location of the news in the newspaper, its treatment, and the area it covers on a page. We propose a tentative data model for a systematic collection of the otherwise unusable infographic data, in a database, ready for analysing and deriving insights. This model can be used to gather similar data from other regional languages (Bangla, Tamil, Malayalam, etc.) newspapers printed in India.
A Visualization Course for Journalism Students
Authors: Jänicke Stefan
Published: August 2019

Visualization as a means to communicate information relevant to society in a visual form has become more and more important in the recent years. As the prior medium has changed from print to online media, writers of online articles and bloggers regularly serve their readers with interactive visual interfaces that give intuitive insights into the discussed topics. The change of how information is brought to the public and the large scale of digital information available have also changed teaching contents of journalists who learn aspects of data processing and representation. This year, 21 journalism students participated in my interdisciplinary visualization course. This paper reflects on theoretical course contents, conducted student projects and the feedback of journalism students on how a visualization course could be modified to perfectly fit the needs of becoming data journalists.
Using network analysis to examine links between individual depression symptoms, inflammatory markers, and covariates
Authors: Fried Eiko I , Haslbeck Jonas M B
Published: August 2019

Background: Studies investigating the link between Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and inflammation have yielded inconsistent results. This may be due to two factors. First, studies differed regarding the specific inflammatory markers studied and covariates accounted for. Second, specific depression symptoms may be differentially related to inflammation, and traditional analyses of symptom total scores or diagnostic status may obfuscate such associations. Here we test these two possibilities.Methods: In increasing levels of complexity, we estimated six regularized partial correlation networks in 2321 participants of the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety study to explore the shared variance among depression modeled via sum-score, 9 DSM-5 symptoms, or 28 individual symptoms; inflammatory markers C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α); excluding and including the covariates sex, age, body mass index (BMI), exercise, smoking, alcohol, and chronic diseases Results: After covariate adjustment, the depression sum-score was associated with IL-6; all markers were related to sex; and CRP and IL-6 were associated with BMI. When modeling the 9 DSM-5 symptoms and CRP as replication of Jokela et al. (2016), CRP was associated with trouble sleeping, energy level, BMI, and sex. In a final adjusted model with all 28 individual symptoms, depression and inflammation were unrelated; CRP was associated with BMI and sex; IL-6 with BMI and age; and TNF-α with chronic diseases.Conclusions: Differential relations between markers, symptoms, and covariates emerged. Links between depression and inflammation were largely to completely attenuated after covariate adjustment.
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in the Educational Sciences

Published: August 2019

Using methods like linear regression or latent variable models, researchers are often interested in maximizing explained variance and identifying the importance of specific variables within their models. These models are useful for understanding general ideas and trends, but often give limited insight into the individuals within said models. Data envelopment analysis (DEA), is a method with roots in organizational management that make such insights possible. Unlike models mentioned above, DEA does not explain variance. Instead, it explains how efficiently an individual utilizes their inputs to produce outputs, and identifies which input is not being utilized optimally. This paper provides readers with a brief history and past usages of DEA from organizational management, public health, and educational administration fields, while also describing the underlying math and processes behind said model. This paper then extends the usage of this method into the psychology field using two separate studies. First, using data from the Project KIDS dataset, DEA is demonstrated using a simple view of reading framework identifying individual efficiency levels in using reading-based skills to achieve reading comprehension, determining which skills are being underutilized, and classifying and comparing new subsets of readers. Three new subsets of readers were identified using this method, with direct implications leading to more targeted interventions. Second, DEA was used to measure individuals’ efficiency in regulating aggressive behavior given specific personality traits or related skills. This study found that despite comparable levels of component skills and personality traits, significant differences were found in efficiency to regulate aggressive behavior on the basis of gender and feelings of provocation.
Income or Culture? Examining the Determinants of Subjective Wellbeing in an International Sample
Authors: Garg Siddharth
Published: August 2019

Objective: The aim of this paper was to examine the relationship between income, subjective wellbeing, and culture among people from a higher socio-economic class across the world. Rationale: Ed Diener proposed the law of diminishing marginal utility as an explanation for differences in subjective wellbeing among different income groups across different countries (Diener, Ng, & Tov, Balance in life and declining marginal utility of diverse resources, 2009). Thus, people with higher incomes would experience less subjective wellbeing due to income, and culture should emerge as a significant predictor. Method: Data from this study came from another study (https://siddharthgargblog.wordpress.com/2019/07/14/love-for-money/). I used an online survey to collect data on annual income in US dollars, subjective wellbeing (WHO-5), and country of residence (Indicator of Culture). 96 responses (Indians = 24, Foreigners = 72) were entered in IBM SPSS and a regression analysis was conducted. The raw dataset used in this study can be found at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.8869040.v1Results: ANOVA showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between Indians and foreigners on levels of subjective wellbeing. Linear regression shows the regression coefficient of culture to be significant (Beta = -.254, p = .014) but the regression coefficient of income was not found to be significant. The overall model was found to explain 8.2% of the variance in wellbeing.Conclusion: The sample of this study is too small to make any kind of generalization; it does lend a little bit of support to the idea of diminishing marginal utility of income on subjective wellbeing and provides a rationale for further research.
Thank You For Your Service: Sacrifice, New Warriors, and the Second Amendment in the American Rifleman from 1975-2018
Authors: Dawson Jessica
Published: August 2019

The defeat in Vietnam marked a change in the cultural meaning surrounding these warriors. One significant transition was the media image of the New Warrior – a warrior who’s sacrifice no longer transformed the nation. The NRA, emerging from the 1970s with a more hardline stance toward Second Amendment absolutism, played an active role in reshaping the relationship between this new warrior culture, military service, and the Second Amendment. Building on a narrative of government betrayal of the soldiers in Vietnam, the NRA recast the ordinary gun owner into the New Warrior, an independent warrior who will go to any lengths to defend the sacred right to bear arms against corrupt agents of the government. But the deeper question of how the NRA has accomplished this transformation of cultural meaning remains largely unexplored. This paper argues that the NRA used the rhetoric of national failure following Vietnam and the blood sacrifice of American soldiers who died in the defense of the Constitution to transform the cultural meaning of the Second Amendment for ordinary citizens. Through the Second Amendment, ordinary men are transformed into Second Amendment warriors, defending the freedoms the American soldiers died to protect. As one of the original real life heroes of the post-Vietnam New War - a retired soldier who operated outside of the law in order to defend the Nation– Oliver North’s ascension to the NRA presidency represents the fulfillment of the post-Vietnam New War archetype and merges the New War mythology with the blood sacrifice of Christian nationalism.

The controlled landfill method can produce leachate water. Leachate water has high potential to contaminate ground water. The cadmium (Cd) can spread into the soil through a process of impregnation that follows the movement of groundwater flow. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the distance and well construction with cadmium content in the well water dug around the landfill. This research was an observational analytic research with cross sectional research design. The data collection method used in this research were observation, measurement, documentation and laboratory test. The result of laboratory test showed 80% of the wells exceed the quality standard (0,005 ppm). The result of bivariate analysis using chi square test showed that there was no correlation between the distance with cadmium content in dug well water around landfill (sig = 0.173) and there was a relation between well construction with cadmium content in dug well water around landfill (sig = 0.035). The good standart construction of dug well can inhibit the cadmium in the dug well water.
p53 Binding Loci Database (p53BLD): a repository for the genome-wide binding loci of human TP53
Authors: Wu Wei-Sheng , Chang Jer-Wei , Liaw Hung-Jiun , Chu Yu-Han , Jiang Yu-Xuan
Published: August 2019

Background Recent advances in ChIP-seq technologies have led to the identification of thousands of TP53 binding loci in various cell types, providing unmatched opportunities for analysis and comparison of the TP53 genome-wide binding patterns under different experimental conditions. These ChIP-seq datasets provide valuable resources for studying the function of TP53. However, there are currently no databases available for easily comparing and analyzing TP53 genome-wide binding patterns derived from different cell lines. Moreover, the TP53 ChIP-seq datasets are scattered among different papers, so extensive work is required to collect and process them for further analysis.
Description To solve these problems, we comprehensively collected 13 publicly available TP53 ChIP-seq datasets derived from various cell lines. We re-mapped these 13 ChIP-seq datasets to the most updated reference human genome hg38 and identified the binding peaks (regions with significant enrichment of TP53 binding) and the target genes of TP53 in the human genome using the same data processing pipeline. Note that processing these 13 ChIP-seq datasets using the same pipeline is very crucial because it makes comparing the identified peaks and target genes of TP53 from different datasets possible. Finally, we developed a web-based platform (called the p53BLD), which provides a browse mode to visualize the binding loci of TP53 in the genome and a search mode to retrieve genes whose promoters are bound by TP53. The search mode is very powerful. Users can apply union, intersect, and/or difference operations on the 13 ChIP-seq datasets to generate a list of TP53 binding target genes that satisfies the users’ specifications. The generated gene list can then be downloaded for further analysis. Therefore, the p53BLD can also be regarded as a discovery tool that helps users to generate interesting gene lists for studying TP53.
Conclusions Here we presented the first p53 Binding Loci Database (p53BLD). In the case study, we showed that using p53BLD can identify novel TP53 binding targets (KAT6A and KMT2A) in specific cancer cell lines. We believe that p53BLD is a useful resource for studying the function of TP53 in different cancer cell lines. P53BLD is available online at link1/, link2/, or link3/

Published: August 2019

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were shown to exhibit a high performance as X-ray dosage enhancer in tumor cells. The radio-enhancing potential of uncoated and citrate-coated SPIONs was comprehensively studied for tumor and healthy cells. Pristine and citrate-coated SPIONs drastically differ in their water dispersibility and adsorption affinity for proteins. The activities of antioxidant enzymes in the healthy cells were shown to be significantly distinct from those in the tumor cells as containing a much higher H2O2 concentration. Pristine SPIONs catalyzed the Fenton reaction of hydrogen peroxide to the highly reactive hydroxyl radical in all cell types. In contrast, intracellular citrate-stabilized SPIONs were shown t
o be non-toxic and to do not affect the formation of reactive oxygen species. X-ray irradiation of citrate-stabilized SPIONs, when internalized by tumor cells, significantly boost the formation of hydroxyl radicals, whereas the healthy cells preserved their initial levels of reactive oxygen species.
Saving Potential of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP): Implication for China and Japan
Authors: Wardani Ranti Yulia , Cooray Nawalage S.
Published: August 2019

ASEAN community and six ASEAN FTA partners' leaders have engaged in strengthening economic development within the region by establishing RCEP. ASEAN had signed trade agreements with all the other six FTA partners. The other six ASEAN trading partners within RCEP have no free trade agreements yet among them. Therefore, the RCEP is involved in tough negotiation among the six non-ASEAN member countries. RCEP commitment is established through ASEAN as a catalyst. This study will examine the total saving potential of free trade agreement by using ex-ante FTA analysis and the political implication of RCEP for non-ASEAN member countries, especially Japan and China. The impact of RCEP will be insignificant without China and Japan existence. These two countries are essential to be maintained in the RCEP initiatives. The six non-ASEAN members in RCEP are finding ways to exploit the balance benefit among them. China-Japan relations will be embedded in the RCEP association if RCEP is concluded. From an economic perspective, Japan and China seem to have strong economic interdependence. From a political perspective, both countries have long history relations, distrust, and mistrust. Therefore, economic interdependence could be the way forward for both countries to have a harmonious relationship. Japan and China need ASEAN and other RCEP members to tighten the economic and political relations among them.

Authors: Abdul Rahman Azhar , Hamdan Mohd Diah
Published: August 2019

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the association between five firm-specific characteristics and the level of mandatory compliance with Financial Reporting Standards (FRS 101), which is equivalent to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1 by Malaysian SMEs.

Design/Methodology/Approach

A disclosure index is used to measure the extent of compliance with FRS 101. Each of the 105 sampled firms' annual reports were examined against the index for the financial year ending December 31, 2013.

Findings

The results reveal an overall compliance of 96 per cent. Regression results report that only firm size and profitability have a positive and negative significant association, respectively, with FRS 101 disclosure requirements.

Practical Implications

This study should be particularly relevant to regulatory bodies in Malaysia for strategizing and encouraging compliance with FRS 101 by non-listed firms.

Originality/Value

Additionally, the study contributes to financial reporting literature relating to a developing country, Malaysia. Since SMEs in Malaysia contribute significantly to the economic development in the country, it is interesting to examine how they present their financial statements to interested parties and the degree of their compliance with Financial Reporting Standards as required by the relevant authorities

Its establishment is expected to improve the quality of the audited financial statements and to increase the confidence of the public on the quality of the services provided by the auditors. This study explores how the establishment of audit oversight board affects the auditors in Malaysia. As the study is exploratory in nature with limited studies being carried out on AOB, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the external auditors. The findings show that the establishment of AOB affects the job of external auditors, especially on the documentation and training costs, which vary across audit firms of different sizes. There are opinions that the increased pressure on the external auditors is not solely due to the establishment of AOB, but it is also due to the revised accounting standards and other regulations. The study also finds that the external auditorsâ€™ reliance on the internal auditors is not affected by the establishment of AOB. In addition, regardless of whether the internal audit department is in-house or outsourced, it will not affect the reliance of external auditors on the internal auditors work.

Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI) adalah salah satu peran strategis dalam memajukan kesejahteraan umum Negara. Dengan latar belakang Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara dengan kasus pembajakan HKI terbesar di dunia, maka diharapkan dengan adanya perlindungan hukum tersebut dapat memperbaiki citra Indonesia di mata dunia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui Dampak Sosial Perlindungan Hukum Hak Cipta dan Merek di Kepulauan Riau. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis pertimbangan hukum HKI, pencipta, masyarakat/konsumen dan masyarakat yang tidak mendaftarkan hasil karyanya. Dari hasil penelitian ini maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa dampak sosial yang terjadi akan memberikan kepastian hukum bagi para pemegang hak, menumbuh kembangkan kreatifitas, merasa was-was akan adanya pembajakan atas karya yang belum didaftarkan, serta mempersempit ruang gerak para pelaku pelanggaran HKI, dengan begitu produk-produk original akan semakin banyak beredar. Adapun saran dalam penelitian ini adalah Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Kantor Wilayah Kepulauan Riau, hendaknya melakukan sosialisasi secara merata demi menyebarluaskan informasi-informasi mengenai HKI. sehingga, masyarakat mengetahui infromasi seperti biaya, prosedur, sanksi dan urgensi dari pendaftaran HKI.
Magmatic control of gold mineralization in Western Primorye (by geophisical data)

Published: August 2019

An analysis of the regional gravitational field of the north-east of China, Korea and Western Primorye was carried out. The distribution of gold deposits was compared with the development of Mesozoic magmatism and negative anomalies of the gravitational field. Based on the analysis of geological, mineragenic, petrophysical and geophysical materials, geological and geophysical zoning of the western part of the Khanka massif was performed, and a scheme for interpreting geological and geophysical data with elements of minerageny was drawn up. A connection was established between the anomalies of the magnetic and gravitational fields and the position of the supposed gold-bearing ore regions and nodes located in the zone of joints of the North China Triassic-Jurassic volcanic-plutonic belt with the Proterozoic substrates of the Khanka massif. According to geophysical data, Early Jurassic intrusions were identified as, controlling the location of the gold nodes. It was concluded that the gold mineralization is related to the Jurassic magmatism, which increases the prospects for the discovery of gold mineralization in the Khanka district of the Western Primorye.

Cutaneous adverse reactions are very common adverse effect of post antibiotic therapy. Cutaneous adverse reactions include skin lesions in the form of rashes urticaria, maculopapular rashes, eythema multiforme, stevens-johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. However macrolides, generally considered safer in this regard, are frequently used to treat both adult and childhood infections, with favorable outcomes. Cutaneous manifestations of this class of antibiotic are scarce. The present case series focuses on conglomeration of few cases of cutaneous reactions due to macrolide therapy in both children and adult population.
Moment conditions and lower bounds in expanding solutions of wave equations with double damping terms
Authors: Ikehata Ryo , Michihisa Hironori
Published: August 2019

In this report we obtain higher order asymptotic expansions of solutions to wave equations with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms. Although the diffusion phenomena are dominant, differences between the solutions we deal with and those of heat equations can be seen by comparing the second order expansions of them. In order to analyze such effects we consider the weighted [Formula: see text] initial data. We also give some lower bounds which show the optimality of obtained expansions.
Well-posedness, regularity and asymptotic analyses for a fractional phase field system
Authors: Colli Pierluigi , Gilardi Gianni
Published: August 2019

This paper is concerned with a non-conserved phase field system of Caginalp type in which the main operators are fractional versions of two fixed linear operators A and B. The operators A and B are supposed to be densely defined, unbounded, self-adjoint, monotone in the Hilbert space [Formula: see text], for some bounded and smooth domain Ω, and have compact resolvents. Our definition of the fractional powers of operators uses the approach via spectral theory. A nonlinearity of double-well type occurs in the phase equation and either a regular or logarithmic potential, as well as a non-differentiable potential involving an indicator function, is admitted in our approach. We show general well-posedness and regularity results, extending the corresponding results that are known for the non-fractional elliptic operators with zero Neumann conditions or other boundary conditions like Dirichlet or Robin ones. Then, we investigate the longtime behavior of the system, by fully characterizing every element of the ω-limit as a stationary solution. In the final part of the paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the system as the parameter σ appearing in the operator [Formula: see text] that plays in the phase equation decreasingly tends to zero. We can prove convergence to a phase relaxation problem at the limit, in which an additional term containing the projection of the phase variable on the kernel of B appears.

Authors: Vo Nguyen Hoang , Tran Thanh Thien , Nguyen Bao Huu , Cao Thanh Nguyen The , Chau Tao Van
Published: August 2019

In this study, we used Monte Carlo method to simulate each separate component of the gamma scattering spectrum. The gamma rays emitted from a 137Cs source, scatter on aluminum targets and recorded by a NaI(Tl) detector. Based on the distribution characteristics of each scattering component, we propose a new method to analyze scattered gamma spectra. This method was applied for simulated spectra to estimate the material thickness gives good results.

Many problems the absence of students is one of the things that causes the learning process is not optimal and this becomes an important role of guidance and counseling services through information services. The purpose of this study was to reveal the forms of student absence and the quality of the implementation of information services about absenteeism. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research, the sample used was 123 students using porous sampling technique. Data collected using questionnaire absenteeism and the scale of the implementation of information services about student absence (33 items valid, α = 0.851). Data analysis using percentage analysis and also t-test. The results showed that the most absent form of the students did was not entering school without permission 35 (28.4%) times and the least was days not going to school ie 2 (1.6%) times. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the implementation of information services about student absenteeism both conducted by state high school and private high school teachers with a good category of 71.67%.
