Introduction to Views of Connectivism Theory of Learning
Authors: Sa’adi Sa’adi 
Published: February 2018

‘Traditional’ theories of learning as pratical dimensions of psychology majorly tend to focus their interest on humans’ inner factors that influence the process of learning such as intelligences, motivation, interest, attitude, concentration and aptitude. They never connect it with instruments and technological inventions such as multimedia, cyber celluler, internet, even social organization, cultural values, traditions etc., while these are very influential nowdays towards the progress and behaviors of human life. As such the application of connectivism theory of learning which connect those dimensions of life with learning activities, is now and then insparable from any effort to promote the quality of humans’ learning itself, including in teaching and learning languages. keywords; Connectivism; Learning; Theory And Technology

Authors: Santosa Rochmat Budi 
Published: February 2018

This study aims to identify, analyze and describe the structure of the use of some errors in the writing of English sentences in the text and the aspects surrounding the Student Semester 3 of English Department STAIN Surakarta. In this study, the researcher describes the error use of 'be' both as a linking verb or auxiliary verb. This is a qualitative-descriptive research. Source data used is a document that is the writing assignment undertaken by the Students taking Writing course. Writing tasks are in narrative, descriptive, expositive, and argumentative forms. To analyze the data, researcher uses intra lingual and extra lingual method. This method is used to connect the linguistic elements in sentences, especially some of the elements either as a linking verb or auxiliary verb in English sentences in the text. Based on the analysis of error regarding the use of 'be' it can be concluded that there are 5 (five) types of errors made by students; error about the absence (omission) of 'be', error about the addition of 'be', the error on the application of 'be', errors in placements 'be', and a complex error in the use of 'be'. These errors occur due to inter lingual transfer, intra lingual transfer and learning context.keywords; Error Analysis; Students Writing
EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: ALGUMAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES
Authors: Belluzzo Luccas Marinete , Bonotto Dalva Maria Bianchini 
Published: February 2018

<p>Na educação infantil, a falta de formação e de materiais adequados para o trabalho em educação ambiental pode conduzir à realização de atividades pontuais, descontextualizadas e pouco significativas para as crianças. Diante disso, nos interessamos em investigar, nas dissertações e teses brasileiras, como vem se constituindo o tema das práticas pedagógicas em educação ambiental na educação infantil, objetivando compreender suas especificidades. Apoiamo-nos na perspectiva de uma Educação Ambiental Crítica que contemple, em suas propostas de trabalho, três dimensões: conhecimentos, valores éticos e estéticos e participação política. Neste artigo, sob forma de um ensaio, discorremos sobre estas três dimensões e sobre como podem se desenvolver no contexto escolar da educação infantil, à luz da Teoria Histórico-Cultural. A análise indicou que as três dimensões podem ser contempladas na educação infantil e entendemos que sua apropriação efetiva se concretiza quando o proposto pelo professor se constitui em uma “vivência” para a criança. </p>

Virtual School Startups: Founder Processes in American K-12 Public Virtual Schools
Authors: Taylor Brett Drushal , McNair Delores E. 
Published: February 2018

<p class="3">Traditional school districts do not have a lot of experience with virtual schools and have lost students to state and charter virtual schools. To retain students and offer alternative learning opportunities, more public districts are starting their own virtual schools. This study was an examination of foundational processes at three California virtual schools in traditional school districts. An analysis of the findings revealed that sites perceived the establishing founder, preliminary research, district support, teacher and staff selection, financial evaluation, and curriculum decisions as keys to the founding process. The analysis also led to surprising conclusions, including the need for virtual schools to constantly change and adapt and the focus in this study of organizations over technology. The findings have implications for traditional districts starting virtual schools. The study also indicates that changes in policy could reduce the need for organizational adaptation among virtual schools in traditional school districts.</p>
Status of e-learning Quality in Kenya: Case of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Postgraduate Students
Authors: Hadullo Kennedy , Oboko Robert , Omwenga Elijah 
Published: February 2018

There is a substantial increase in the use of learning management systems (LMSs) to support e-learning in higher education institutions, particularly in developing countries. This has been done with some measures of success and failure as well. There is evidence from literature that the provision of e-learning faces several quality issues relating to course design, content support, social support, administrative support, course assessment, learner characteristics, instructor characteristics, and institutional factors. It is clear that developing countries still remain behind in the great revolution of e-learning in Higher Education. Accordingly, further investigation into e-learning use in Kenya is required in order to fill in this gap of research, and extend the body of existing literature by highlighting major quality determinants in the application of e-learning for teaching and learning in developing countries. By using a case study of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), the study establishes the status of e-learning system quality in Kenya based on these determinants and then concludes with a discussion and recommendation of the constructs and indicators that are required to support qualify teaching and learning practices
The Moderating Effects of Group Work on the Relationship Between Motivation and Cognitive Load
Authors: Costley Jamie , Lange Christopher 
Published: February 2018

<p class="3">Semi-formal learning is used to describe learning that is directed towards the goals of a formal learning institution but outside of the learning structure of a specific class. Students studying online may form semi-formal groups to increase their knowledge of the content by interacting with other learners taking the same class. This study of cyber university students (n = 2042) involved looking at the relationship between semi-formal learning groups and levels of germane load. Furthermore, this study sought to understand what role group work plays in moderating the relationship between motivation and germane load. This study found that highly motivated students had higher levels of germane load, and that group work negatively moderated that relationship. In other words, while all students benefited from group work, students with lower levels of motivation benefited more than students with high levels of motivation. This research fills an important gap by showing the value this type of group work can have for all learners, particularly those who may otherwise struggle.</p>
Willingness to pay for improved drinking water in southwest coastal Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Maliva , Akber Md. Ali , Islam Md. Atikul 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Households in the rural areas of southwest coastal Bangladesh mainly depend on unreliable sources of drinking water. This study assessed the willingness to pay (WTP) for improved drinking water in a rural area of the southwest coastal Bangladesh, using contingent valuation survey data of 215 households. The samples for the face-to-face interview were selected by purposive random sampling from Chila union of Mongla sub-district under Bagerhat district. The mean WTP for improved drinking water was estimated to be BDT 193 (US$ 2.47) per month (3% of the monthly income of the households). Results also indicate that educated respondents and households with higher income are willing to pay more for improved water supply. Moreover, the expenditure of the households for buying water and for medicine for waterborne diseases has a significant positive impact on the WTP. The results of this study can be useful for decision-makers to promote improved drinking water supply in southwest coastal Bangladesh.
Flows, ecology and people: is there room for cultural demands in the assessment of environmental flows?
Authors: Magdaleno Fernando 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThe science and practice of environmental flows – aimed at the protection of ecosystem values and functions in regulated rivers – has progressively recognized the relevance of incorporating socio-cultural demands of local communities in the calculation of water requirements of rivers' habitats and services. This review paper synthesizes the concept of cultural flows, and presents the main approaches explored or conducted up to this date to provide such flows in rivers of different regions and typology. This work highlights the necessity of integrating cultural demands in future attempts to protect and restore altered flow patterns, due to the multiple interactions between flow, ecology and people which typically characterize rivers and other aquatic systems.
Ensembles of radar nowcasts and COSMO-DE-EPS for urban flood management
Authors: Jasper-Tönnies Alrun , Hellmers Sandra , Einfalt Thomas , Strehz Alexander , Fröhle Peter 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Sophisticated strategies are required for flood warning in urban areas regarding convective heavy rainfall events. An approach is presented to improve short-term precipitation forecasts by combining ensembles of radar nowcasts with the high-resolution numerical weather predictions COSMO-DE-EPS of the German Weather Service. The combined ensemble forecasts are evaluated and compared to deterministic precipitation forecasts of COSMO-DE. The results show a significantly improved quality of the short-term precipitation forecasts and great potential to improve flood warnings for urban catchments. The combined ensemble forecasts are produced operationally every 5 min. Applications involve the Flood Warning Service Hamburg (WaBiHa) and real-time hydrological simulations with the model KalypsoHydrology.

Authors: Casagrande Sarah S. , McEwen Laura N. , Herman William H. 
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE
To assess national changes in health insurance coverage and related costs before and after implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) among U.S. adults with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Data were cross-sectional from the 2009 and 2016 National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS). Participants were adults age ≥18 years with a previous diagnosis of diabetes who self-reported on their health insurance coverage, demographic information, diabetes-related factors, and amount spent on medical expenses and insurance premiums (N = 6,220).

RESULTS
Among adults with diabetes age 18–64 years, health insurance coverage increased from 84.7% in 2009 to 90.1% in 2016 (P &lt; 0.001). Coverage remained near universal for those age ≥65 years (99.5%). For adults age 18–64 years, coverage increased for almost all subgroups and significantly for men; non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Hispanics; those who were married; those with less than or more than a high school education, family income &lt;$35,000, or diabetes duration &lt;5 or &gt;15 years; and those taking oral agents (P &lt; 0.05 for all). Among adults age 18–64 years, Medicaid coverage significantly increased between 2009 and 2016 (19.4% vs. 24.3%, P = 0.006), and for those with private insurance, 7.8% acquired their plan through HealthCare.gov. For adults age ≥65 years, private insurance decreased and Medicare Part D increased (P &lt; 0.007 for both). Among those age 18–64 years with an income &lt;$35,000, the proportion of income spent on family medical costs decreased (6.3% vs. 4.8% for 2009 vs. 2016, respectively; P = 0.004).

CONCLUSIONS
Health insurance coverage among adults with diabetes age 18–64 years increased significantly after implementation of the ACA, and medical costs to families decreased among those with lower incomes.
Economia e sociedade antigas: conceitos e debates

Cet article critique les conceptions qui prédomlnent dans les unlversités occidentales sur l'économle et la société de l'Antiquité classique de nos jours: celles d'auteurs comme M. Flnley, P. Vldal-Naquet, J.-P. Vernant ei M. Austin. Ces conceptlons font dépendre l'interprétation économlque et soclale de l'Antiquité grecque et romalne des structures politiques - volre idéologiques et même "psychologlques" - de la cité antique. Toute autonomle est nlée au nlveau économlque, tandls que la société antique est définle en tant que "société d'ordres", à laquelle le concept de classes soclales ne saurait, etre étendu. Ces vues sont critiquées dans ce texte, dont l'auteur essaie de montrer que les conceptlons domlnantes lalssent de côté d'importants aspects (tout spécialement les forces productives) d'une économie; et que le concept de classes soclales doit aprés tout être utilisé, sl on ne veut pas se limiter à envlsager la société antlque d'une façon seulement descriptive, acceptant sans les critlquer les vues des auteurs de l'Antiquité sur leur propre société.
A poesia no sistema de Heráclito
Authors: Schüler Donaldo 
Published: February 2018

On pourrait s'étonner de l'essal de chercher de la poesle chez un penseur qui a l'habitude d'attaquer les poètes. Toutefois, la cornpréhension immediate d'un texte ne décèle pas toujours toute sa vérité. Héraclite offre des amblgüités, des jeux sonores, des créations verbales à effet nettement poétique. Il incrimine les lecteurs qui ne sont pas capables de lire les poètes d'une manière convenable et non pas les poètes eux-mêmes. L'adresse de sa critique lui pemet également de rejeter la poésie sans lnvention, dégénérée, la poésie qui n'est pas poétique. En distinguant la poésie dégénérée de celle authentique, il rend à la poésie propre un servlce précieux. Les déroutements de son jugement sont ainsi largement compensés par des observations fécondes, pleines de défi et d'actuallté.
