Published: September 2020

The ways of increasing efficiency of the harvesting and transport system for grain crops harvesting through the use of reserve platforms for unloading line-haul trains and dump trailers at a grain pre-treatment point are determined. The study was carried out in agricultural enterprises of the forest-steppe zone of Novosibirsk region during three harvesting periods 2017–2019. Specific features of work of the harvesting and transport system were taken into account, such as the remoteness of fields, the turn-around time of vehicles, the number of harvesting machines in the unit, and the crop harvested. The analysis of the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the interaction of vehicles and a grain pre-treatment point as subsystems of the harvesting and transport system shows that the operations of weighing, paperwork and unloading of vehicles are conditioned by the unproductive waste of working shift time, which leads to downtime of expensive highperformance harvesting machines. The dependence analysis of downtime ratio of vehicles at unloading on the throughput of the grain pre-treatment point shows that idle time of vehicles can reach up to 38% of the working shift time, according to estimated data, and up to 45%, according to experimental data. It is established that in the operation of a grain pretreatment point as a subsystem of a complex harvesting and transport system, there are time reserves for a positive effect on the system performance by searching for alternative options to service vehicles. Experimental studies of grain harvesting have shown that with a grain flow exceeding productivity of a grain pre-treatment point, it is necessary to organize reserve platforms at threshing sites to reduce the time for unloading vehicles. The use of reserve platforms can reduce the downtime of high-performance harvesting machines by 5-9%.

Published: September 2020

Data transfers are handled by the computer bus which connects the device to the memory. The data bus is analogous to the transmission in a car which is often overshadowed by the horsepower of the engine. The three technologies PCI, PCI-Express and InfiniBand Technology all share the same general goal of improving I\O bandwidth, but each technology attacks a different problem. In this survey we'll show how these technologies interact and complement each other. First, we provide the definitions for each one of them, and then we provide a brief description for their architectures. Beside that we'll conclude an over view of some differences between the technologies.
Motivation: in this paper, a better understanding of the different I/O bandwidth technologies are explored, the vital features and characteristics of each technology was presented.
Method: providing clear description for the different technologies and estimating the improvements implemented in their hardware during the generations’ improvements.
Conclusion: none of the technologies could replace the PCI bus, but rather implement upgrade paths to get critical needed features such as compatibility and capability.

Published: September 2020

Several studies suggested that most of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) only noted the amount of money received and expended, the amount of bought and sold goods, and the amount of accounts receivable/debt. However, the note is functioned as reminder but not supported with the format desired by the banks. Even though, they are still able to know the amount of final capital each year which is almost the same as if we took a note by using accounting system. Therefore, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are directed through assistance to start taking notes of its business activities in accordance with the Accounting Standards Entities of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SAK EMKM) simply and completely as needed.
Basically, the partner's problem in this assistance was due to the accounting administration of financial management at PT. JAB which is not properly arranged such as the determination of HPP. This SME produces coffee powder, chocolate and green tea beverages. It reaches income of Rp. 50.000.000,- per month with the total 3-5 employees and has carried out bookkeeping which is currently experiencing loss. It has already made an excel financial report but in determining HPP, the process costs are not taken into account so that this has no basis.
The result of this assistance is the establishment of financial statement which is correct and appropriate in accordance with SAK EMKM. This study is finally able to solve the problem in determining the amount of HPP due to the lack of synchronization between the production data and accounting department. In addition, this study successfully minimizes errors in determining the amount of inventory which affects the error in determining HPP. The problem faced by every SME must be different so that we are expected to provide assistance in making financial reports.

Published: September 2020

El propósito de la investigación fue la estimación de las propiedades psicométricas de una adaptación de la versión en español del Teacher Behaviors Checklist o TBC en el contexto universitario colombiano, instrumento que mide la excelencia docente en educación superior. Participaron N = 398 estudiantes: 167 (41,96%) de sexo masculino y 231 (58,04%) de sexo femenino, de nueve (9) universidades del Caribe colombiano. Se realizaron tres estudios de tipo correlacional empleando técnicas estadísticas multivariantes de reducción de datos: en el primer estudio se realizó un Análisis de componentes principales (ACP), el cual arrojó seis componentes y apoyó el modelo de primer orden con dos factores reportados por los autores del instrumento en idioma inglés. Considerando el criterio de selección de Lautenschlager (1989) en torno a la magnitud de los autovalores para los primeros tres factores, se realizó un segundo estudio recurriendo al análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) para soluciones unifactorial, bifactorial y trifactorial, empleando como método de extracción la máxima verosimilitud y la rotación Oblimin. Solo la solución unifactorial se adecuó a los parámetros establecidos (l1 = 8,061; σ2x1 = 28,791%) para los primeros tres factores bajo el supuesto de autovalores mayores o iguales a uno. Se denominó al factor “habilidad para la enseñanza efectiva y el aprendizaje activo (EEyAA)”. El tercer estudio reporta el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) y muestra ajuste parcial del instrumento unifactorial al modelo teórico (RMSEA = 0,063). El instrumento final quedó conformado por 22 ítemes. El valor alfa de Cronbach para esta escala fue alto con una magnitud de α = 0,901. Se concluye que el TBC resulta un instrumento válido para la evaluación de la excelencia docente por parte de estudiantes universitarios colombianos.

Abstrak: Kejayaan Lada Hingga Praktek Perburuhan di Lampung Abad ke XVIII Hingga Abad XX. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui kejayan lada Lampung dan praktek perburuhan yang terjadi di dalamnya, dari abad XVIII-XX. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian sejarah, dengan empat unsur utama yaitu: heuristik, kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kualitatif karena menggunakan sumber dari data hasil tinjauan pustaka dan dokumentasi. Berdasarkan hasil pengumpulan data, kejayaan lada Lampung dan praktek perburuhan yang terjadi di dalamnya dari abad XVI-XX merupakan dua hal yang saling mendukung. Lada di Lampung dikenal dengan sebutan Lampung Black Papper karena kualitas dan ketenarannya, di masa Kesultanan Banten budidaya lada berkembang pesat dengan banyaknya perintah penanaman lada oleh Sultan melalui piagam yang dikirimkan ke pemimpin adat (Punyimbang). Pada awalnya praktek perburuhan di Lampung dilakukan secara sukarela, pada masa awal budidaya lada, dan berubah sejak Lampung berada di bawah Kesultanan Banten dengan perintah penanaman lada yang semakin besar, setelah kedatangan kolonialisme Belanda. Perburuhan masa itu terbagi menjadi tiga kelas yakni, 1) Buruh Lepas, 2) Buruh Bebas, 3) Buruh Kontrak.Kata Kunci: Lada, Buruh, Kolonialisme Belanda, Banten, Lampung

Published: September 2020

A substituição da vegetação nativa e a sazonalidade climática modificam os parâmetros biofísicos da superfície. Como 50% do Cerrado tem sido convertido em lavouras e pastagens, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a variação temporal de parâmetros biofísicos em áreas nativas e convertidas em uma área de transição entre Cerrado e Pantanal no Mato Grosso. O estudo foi conduzido na Fazenda Experimental da UFMT (15° 51’ 15.23’’ S e 56° 04’ 13.50’’ W) com imagens do sensor TM-Landsat 5 entre abril e setembro de 2011. O Índice de Vegetação da Diferença Normalizada (NDVI), o albedo da superfície (α) e a temperatura da superfície (Ts) foram estimados em áreas de Cerrado strito sensu (CER), pastagem de Brachiaria brizantha (PAS) e mangueiral (MAN). Os maiores valores de NDVI e menores valores de α e Ts foram observados nas áreas mais densamente vegetadas. O Cerrado apresentou menores valores de α e a MAN apresentou maiores valores de NDVI ao longo de todo experimento. A substituição da cobertura nativa da região de transição de Cerrado e Pantanal por vegetação exótica modificou significativamente os parâmetros biofísicos avaliados, com potencial de modificar os balanços de radiação, energia, carbono da superfície.

TEMPORAL VARIATION OF BIOPHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF THE SURFACE BY LANDSAT 5 IMAGES IN DIFFERENT SOIL COVERS IN A TRANSITIONAL AREA OF CERRADO AND PANTANAL IN MATO GROSSO

ABSTRACT: The substitution of native vegetation and climatic seasonality modify the surface biophysical parameters. As 50% of the Cerrado has been converted to crops and pastures, the objective of this study was to evaluate the temporal variation of biophysical parameters in native areas and converted into a transition area between Cerrado and Pantanal in Mato Grosso. The study was conducted at the UFMT Experimental Farm (15° 51’ 15.23’’ S e 56° 04’ 13.50’’ W) with TM Landsat 5 images between April and September 2011. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and the surface albedo (α) and surface temperature (Ts) were obtained from a Cerrado stricto sensu (CER), a pasture of Brachiaria brizantha (PAS) and a mangrove (MAN). The highest NDVI values and lowest α and Ts values were observed in the most densely vegetated areas. The replacement of the native cover of the Cerrado and Pantanal transition region with exotic vegetation significantly modified the biophysical parameters evaluated, with the potential to modify the radiation, energy and carbon balances of the surface.

Published: September 2020

Demo kits are experimental devices that promote physical observation of the concepts being discussed by the teachers. They are used to compensate the impossibility of demonstrating the objects due to their size or lack of their availability. This study examined the use of demo kits as strategy for enhancing senior secondary school students’ achievement in computer studies in Nigeria. The study adopted pre-test and post-test comparison group quasi-experimental research design using 2 x 2 factorial matrix. The population for the study was made up of all senior secondary (SS 2) students in Ijebu-North Local Government Area, Ogun State. The sample for the study was drawn from two public senior secondary schools that met the selection criteria using intact classes. The schools were randomly assigned into experimental or comparison groups. The gathered data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The major findings of the study revealed a significant main effect of the strategy that the students exposed to the use of demo kits performed significantly better than those in the comparison group which learnt using the conventional method of teaching. The results also indicated no significant gender difference in students’ performance in computer studies after the exposure to the use of demo kits. It is, therefore, recommended that teachers adopt the use of demo kits to teach computer studies when computer systems are not available for use instead of insisting on the teaching of the subject in well-equipped computer laboratories.

Published: September 2020

Due to the paramount significance of English as a lingua franca, TESOL has attracted the attention of researchers globally which necessitates the suitable usage of the best methods for achieving the learners’ goals. This study examined the students’ learning preferences and their teachers’ methods and strategies used in specific classrooms. The sample of the study was 20 international EFL male and female learners and one English professor from the National University of Malaysia. The data were elicited from the samples using three instruments: an adapted from Oxford (1990) questionnaire, classroom observation and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that the teacher’s techniques to some extent support the students’ tendencies and styles toward learning the English language. It was shown that students are strongly motivated and have the ability to use all the possible strategies during their learning process. Moreover, the teacher confirmed that she supports the students’ self-confidence despite the existence of some barriers between the students and their teacher. It is recommended that teachers pay more attention to their students’ style preferences during the learning process.
The Impact of Teaching English Polysemy through Similarity-Based Approach
Authors: Vardidze Tinatin 
Published: September 2020

This paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of teaching polysemous nouns through an innovative method that the researcher calls Similarity-Based Approach (SBA) and to compare it to the translation-based vocabulary instruction method (TBM). The objective of the study is to show how guiding students’ comprehension of a polysemous word through semantic relations improves their understanding. At the same time, it is the aim of the study to demonstrate the effectiveness of Similarity-Based instruction by teaching vocabulary through showing semantic relation of word meaning to young learners compared to the old, traditional way of memorizing pairs of words. The experiment is conducted with two groups of elementary students with a pre-test, a lesson and a post-test. The results in the post-test revealed that through SBA students remember the vocabulary better than they do through the traditional method of memorization. SBA might represent a new method in teaching polysemous vocabulary to young learners, while TBM implies a traditional, well rooted way of teaching polysemous words in ESL classrooms.

Published: September 2020

Many uses of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river basin depend on how the US Army Corp of Engineers operates dam releases from the reservoirs when managing lake levels and downstream river flows and water levels. However, no single set of protocols equally suited to all uses and demands governs the reservoir releases. The purpose of this publication is to describe how the USACE manages reservoirs and dams in the ACF and how the waters in the basin are used. This 6-page fact sheet was written by Christopher J.
