Psychoacoustic and Demographic Factors for Speech Recognition of Older Adult Cochlear Implant Users
Authors: Luo Xin , Kolberg Courtney , Pulling Kathryn R. , Azuma Tamiko 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aging and cochlear implant (CI) on psychoacoustic and speech recognition abilities and to assess the relative contributions of psychoacoustic and demographic factors to speech recognition of older CI (OCI) users.

Method
Twelve OCI users, 12 older acoustic-hearing (OAH) listeners age-matched to OCI users, and 12 younger normal-hearing (YNH) listeners underwent tests of temporal amplitude modulation detection, temporal gap detection in noise, and spectral–temporal modulated ripple discrimination. Speech reception thresholds were measured for sentence recognition in multitalker, speech-babble noise.

Results
Statistical analyses showed that, for the small sample of OAH listeners, the degree of hearing loss did not significantly affect any outcome measure. Temporal resolution, spectral resolution, and speech recognition all significantly degraded with both age and the use of a CI (i.e., YNH better than OAH and OAH better than OCI performance). Although both were significantly correlated with OCI users' speech recognition, the duration of CI use no longer had a significant effect on speech recognition once the effect of spectral–temporal ripple discrimination performance was taken into account. For OAH listeners, the only significant predictor of speech recognition was temporal gap detection performance.

Conclusion
The preliminary results suggest that speech recognition of OCI users may improve with longer duration of CI use, mainly due to higher perceptual acuity to spectral–temporal modulated ripples in acoustic stimuli.

Sulforaphane and Vitamin E Protect From Glucotoxic Neurodegeneration
and Lifespan Reduction In C. Elegans

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans is an established model organism in
neurodegeneration and aging research. Oxidative stress and formation of advanced
glycation endproducts (AGEs), as they occur under hyperglycemic conditions in
diabetes mellitus, contribute to neuronal damage and lifespan reduction.
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an indirect antioxidant, alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) is a
direct antioxidant that acts as a free radical scavenger. Aim of this study is
to investigate the protective effects of SFN and vitamin E against glucotoxic
damages to the neuronal system and lifespan in C. elegans. Culture
conditions that mimic clinical hyperglycemia increased the formation of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) (p<0.001) and the accumulation of
methylglyoxal-derived advanced glycation endproducts (MG-derived AGEs)
(p<0.01) with subsequent neuronal damage and neuronal
dysfunction, ultimately leading to a significant shortening of lifespan
(p<0.01). Treatment with both, 20 µmol/l SFN
and 200 µg/ml vitamin E, completely prevented the increase in
ROS and MG-derived AGEs, abolished the glucotoxic effects on neuronal structure
and function, and preserved lifespan, resulting in a life expectancy similar to
untreated controls. These data emphasize the relevance of indirect and direct
antioxidants as potential therapeutic options for the prevention of glucotoxic
pathologies.
When travellers’ expectations are not met
Authors: Hernández-López María de la O 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In recent years, travellers have increasingly opted for sharing economy businesses, such as Airbnb. In contrast to
other platforms for travellers, the Airbnb review system is characterised by its positivity bias, which implies that most of the
users post enthusiastically positive reviews. Posting a negative review is the exception, which makes it a highly sensitive task
in relational terms.
In light of the above, this study aims to examine 60 reviews with negative valence in order to understand: first,
which aspects of the experience make airbnbers feel dissatisfied; second, the extent to which relational concerns
and authenticity make an impact on both dissatisfaction and rapport orientation; and third, how rapport concerns (i.e., face and
rights and obligations) are managed in reviews with negative valence. The results show that a large number of users tried to
repair rapport, while others neglected or challenged rapport. The difference in tone and intention was motivated by the
presence/absence of the relational component (i.e., association rights), which had an impact on the varying importance given to
other faults. The present study intends to bring to the fore the importance of rapport management when posting sensitive
information in an online system in which the management of communicative skills lies at its core.
On modeling the static shape control of an adaptive air foil bearing
Authors: Sadri Hossein , Kyriazis Alexander , Schlums Henning , Sinapius Michael 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Aerodynamic foil bearings are used in various industrial applications, e.g. in cooling turbines, small gas turbines or exhaust gas turbochargers, to support light, high-speed rotors under extreme operating conditions. Air (or another gas) is used as a lubricant in these bearings. In addition, the possible thermal deformations and production errors can be compensated by a flexible foil structure between the lubricant film and the bearing housing in air foil bearings. Since many static and dynamic properties of the lubricant are strongly dependent on the inner contour of the bearing, the idea of an adaptive air foil bearing (AAFB) is developed to optimize the performance of the bearing at different operating points. This paper focuses on a semi-analytical approach based on plate theory and the Ritz method for approximating the static shape control of a piezoelectrically actuatable AAFB. The main objective of this study is to consider adaptive bearing shells in calculating the behavior of an AAFB, as they provide additional degrees of freedom to a passive air foil bearing without adaptivity. Before the final step is taken, the model presented in this analysis is used for the shape optimization of the adaptive frame of AAFB in order to achieve the most efficient shape adaption with regard to target shapes.

Abstract
This study developed an application for official letter management in Sukasada 1 Public High School. The development of the application aimed to contribute to government programs in improving public services, especially in correspondence. In the letter classification process, the researcher implemented the TF-IDF method whose working procedures included conversion, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), filtering, tokenizing, and classification. Conversion is to convert official mail to digital form (jpg). OCR is to get the text of the letter then carries out the official letter in the form of an image and then filtering and tokenizing are carried out. Classification is the process of grouping a letter into its category by calculating the cosine similarity value between the letter being tested and the letter in the system. To test the accuracy of the classification results, a confusion matrix is used. The results of the study are in the form of web-based and mobile-based applications. Operators and admins used the web application to manage official letters at SMAN 1 Sukasada. The mobile application served to facilitate the principal in accessing mail data from a smartphone. The system was able to group letters with 78% accuracy (good), precision 77% and recall 77%.

Abstract
Puri Wira Mahkota Ltd is a distributor company in the automotive parts industry. Puri Wira Mahkota has an obstacles in preparing weekly order on stock to the primary production unit. They predict total sales of product in the coming period just by using an expectation from stock administration staff then it will be compared with sales data in the previous period without any calculations using a definitive formula. Forecasting calculation could support Puri Wira Mahkota to predict the quantity of product. The purpose of this research is to apply the calculation process that can predict the quantity of product should be produced by the primary production unit every month and also to prevent over stock and out of stock. The method used in the forecasting calculation is Single Exponential Smoothing. To optimize Single Exponential Smoothing we used the Golden Section. The principle of the Golden Section is to reduce the alpha area boundary so it will produce an ideal forecast value with the minimum MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) level. This research shows the results that the Golden Section finds the optimal forecasting value with a level of MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) of 43.39%.
Development of mobile-based health center information system with feature-oriented software development (case study in North Kuta health center)
Authors: Wijaya H , Dantes G R , Candiasa M 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Health center is a district/city official technical unit that responsible for handling health development. At North Kuta Health Center, the medical record has been managed using a web-based application information system. Most of the patients access this system via smartphone. However, the system interface is not optimal if accessed via smartphone, such as the buttons on the system are covered by other interface elements and image sizes exceed the smartphone screen. For this reason, a mobile-based information system was developed from the existing health center system. When developing the system, a Feature-Oriented Software Development (FOSD) method was applied. The FOSD method applied the stages of domain analysis, domain design and specifications, domain implementation, product configuration, and generation. The domain analysis stage produced a needs analysis. At the domain design and specification stage, requirements analysis was processed into system design. The system design was created into a system prototype at the domain implementation stage. At the product configuration and generation stages, the system prototype was tested with User Acceptance Test (UAT) and running time. Running time testing shows the average time needed by the prototype system to complete each process was 432 ms. The UAT test shows that the prototype system was running well under the health service business process at the North Kuta Health Center. The system prototype has also provided convenience in the operation of health services in the North Kuta Health Center.

AbstractPuppet on the island of Bali is a cultural heritage that is very important to maintain and introduce to the younger generation. Puppet in Bali now requires innovation to be accepted by the people so it is not boring. With the development of smart phones, young people are increasingly lazy to watch puppets. They need to be introduced puppets in different ways, one of which is based on Art Sticker. With this application the user can choose the desired puppet character and take a photo directly using the crown (Gelunganin Balinese), special attributes of the character e.g. moustache and feather, and the Necklace (Badongin Balinese). The application developed is based on Art Sticker (AS), which is a modification of Augmented Reality (AR). The method used to develop this application is Waterfall. The results of this study are the application of AR with face tracking where the face becomes a marker. How to use is taking a selfie so that an Art Sticker in the form of a 3D puppet shape appears on your face. Application testing is done by installing on several different Smart phone Models and can run well on several models that have been tested.

Abstract
This study aimed at producing job sheets for basic programming based on performance assessment. The development model used was the ADDIE model which consists of 5 stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The evaluation stage does not stand alone, in which at every stage in the ADDIE model, an evaluation process was conducted. The evaluation stage done here was only a formative evaluation, that is, related to the review process involving experts and a try-out in which the students’ responses to the job sheets were elicited to find out the effectiveness of the job sheets. The data were collected using questionnaire. The data collected were reduced and presented. Then the data were analyzed and a conclusion was drawn from the result of the analysis. The result of this study showed that the job sheet for basic programming based on performance assessment has been successfully developed and the attainment level of the job sheet was 80% (a good qualification). This means that it is feasible to be used effectively as media to support the teaching and learning process, especially in practicum activities in basic programming course. The students’ response related to the presence of the job sheets was also very good. They were very enthusiastic in following every instruction contained in the job sheets. In other words, there was no deviated reaction/ response at the time of the job sheets review process.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Speaking skill is one of the important things in language teaching where the students are expected to communicate orally in their daily lives. However, making the students concretely involved in speaking activities becomes the hardest part for the teachers. This has been identified by Brown and Yule (1983:25) that the most difficult aspects of language learning for the teacher is making the students to use the language orally in their daily communication. Through Vlog (video-based learning) found as a media, which explored students creativity and enhanced their speaking skill, this study observed 30 students speaking achievement in and after making the vlog. Qualitative research was employed to analyse data, which concerned with the students speaking skill. The result of the study affirmed that vlog was proven greatly facilitated students speaking skill. It was also found that the students were not only had good progress in speaking but they also gained another discipline of knowledge; IT and the most impression was they had amazing learning experiences.
Analysis on vocational high school teacher competency gaps: implication for VHS teacher training needs
Authors: Wahyuni D S , Agustini K , Sindu I G P , Sugihartini N 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
This study proposed a novel approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative methods to identify the competency gaps of VHS teachers in Vocational High Schools (VHSs). It comprised four research steps, namely (1) determining the ideal teacher competencies through Fuzzy Delphi technique, (2) arranging the competency priorities by using the analytic hierarchy process, (3) conducting VHS teacher performance evaluation by using a 360-degree rater, and (4) the competency gaps analysis using the IPA matrix. The sample members involved in this study were 7 experts from the industry, academia, and government, and 50 VHS teachers from several regencies in Bali Province, Indonesia. This study suggested that the gaps analysis between the existing VHS teacher competencies and the ideal ones include (1) the pedagogical competency – the low level of factual knowledge mastery in vocational knowledge and skills; (2) mastery in the application of contents; (3) mastery of content knowledge related to vocational teaching subjects; (4) networking and collaboration between the relevant industry and government; (5) continuous professional development; and (6) entrepreneurship. These findings imply that these needs of competencies should be the focus of teacher training programs for VHS teachers.
Next generation of avionics learning based on virtual instruments in vocational education
Authors: Hendrarini N , Ema  
Published: June 2020

Abstract
At this time aerospace technology is very advanced. This is very closely related to advances in information technology and aerospace, so the learning process in aerospace vocational education also progresses. The learning process that was originally very manual now has used a computer as a support system. Learning methods or content of learning materials are also adjusted. One of them is the next generation of avionics. At this time, many types of aircraft have used electronic flight bags to control the aircraft. This technology is very advanced, using many automatic electronic devices such as sensors, actuators and other sophisticated devices that are connected by wireless networks and applications on computers. Studying the current generation of avionic systems is not easy, it is very complicated and sophisticated. This is a problem whose solution that must be sought to provide approach to learning. Studying theoretically and classically in Avionics will be very difficult and boring. A learning method that approaches the real conditions facilitates the process of understanding, namely utilizing virtual instruments. A teaching technique that is supported by applications on computers that resemble conditions in an aircraft. In this paper, a sub-section of avionics is assisted with computer applications, so the actions taken will have an effect on what the conditions of the aircraft are. The perceived benefit is that learning material is easier to understand and implement. This study will present learning methods using virtual instruments. The general design of virtual instruments related to avionics was proposed in this study in order to facilitate teaching avionics to students.
Linkage of national health and social care data: a cross-sectional study of multimorbidity and social care use in people aged over 65 years in Scotland
Authors: Henderson David A G , Atherton Iain , McCowan Colin , Mercer Stewart W , Bailey Nick 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

Background
little is known about the relationship between multimorbidity and social care use (also known as long-term care). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between receipt of formal social care services and multimorbidity.

Methods
this retrospective data linkage, observational study included all individuals over the age of 65 in the population of Scotland in financial years 2014–15 and 2015–16 (n = 975,265). The main outcome was receipt of social care measured by presence in the Scottish Social Care Survey. Logistic regression models were used to assess the influence of multimorbidity, age, sex and socioeconomic position on the outcome reporting average marginal effects (AME).

Findings
93.3% of those receiving social care had multimorbidity, 16.2% of those with multimorbidity received social care compared with 3.7% of those without. The strongest magnitudes of AME for receiving social care were seen for age and multimorbidity (respectively, 50 and 18% increased probability comparing oldest to youngest and most severe multimorbidity to none). A 5.5% increased probability of receiving social care was observed for the most-deprived compared with the least-deprived.

Interpretation
higher levels of social care receipt are observed in those with increasing age, severe multimorbidity and living in more deprived areas. Multimorbidity does not fully moderate the relationship between social care receipt and either age or deprivation.

Mediating Nostalgia: The Meaning of Ranchera Music at a Mexican Community Radio Station
Authors: Hayes Joy Elizabeth 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThis study investigates a battle over music and identity at Radio Zapotitlán, a community radio station in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. An analysis of over 20 interviews with station organizers, volunteers and listeners conducted in 2009 and 2010 indicates that while organizers and older listeners celebrated Ranchera music as the station’s predominant musical content, younger listeners fought to broadcast contemporary Banda music. An historical and theoretical analysis of Ranchera music explores its cultural role in mediating experiences of migration and nostalgia. This study finds that Radio Zapotitlán organizers promoted Ranchera music in order to engage the national and transnational nostalgia of Zapotitlán’s displaced migrants, and to meet the expectations of government regulators and transnational nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It concludes that local, regional, national and transnational interests cannot be disentangled in musical articulations of identity at Radio Zapotitlán.
