Teachers' Readiness
New Literacy

description: Abstract New literacy refers to the skills, strategies and dispositions necessary to successfully use the Internet and other Information and Communication Technologies to adapt to the present demands of the global society. The teachers are tasked to develop the learner’s new literacy skills because information on the Internet of diverse types, which may pose difficulties for the readers. This is the reason why teachers play a major role in new literacy instruction. It is on this premise that the researcher was motivated to study the teachers’ reading for and their attitude towards instruction to develop new literacy. This study was guided by the following questions: To what extent do the teachers show their readiness for new literacy in terms of knowledge, competence, and training? What attitude do the teachers show toward the application of new literacy? What is the relationship between teachers’ readiness for new literacy and their attitude toward it? How do the teachers differ in their knowledge, competence, training and attitude toward new literacy, by the department and by gender? This study was confined to 43 teachers in the Bicol University Polangi Campus, Polangi, Albay. It adapted the descriptive survey method and used both quantitative and qualitative analysis of data. Purposive sampling was used, and three instruments were employed to assess the teachers’ readiness in terms of knowledge and competence and their attitude. A teacher’s profile was the source of data in assessing readiness in terms of training. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Findings revealed that the teachers have some knowledge of little competence in and only some training on new literacy instruction. They also showed that the teachers have a negative attitude toward new literacy, manifested little confidence and expressed fear and anxiety in its use in their instruction. Using the Pearson r at 0.05 level of significance, it was found that the relationship of the variables was weak and using the t-test it was found that there was a significant difference in their knowledge, competence, training and attitude toward new literacy. Conclusion and implications were advanced based on the findings and specific recommendations were given to guide administrators, teachers and future researchers in conducting similar studies.

description: Acratia candyae sp. nov.
Fig. 3 A-D
Diagnosis
Species of Acratia similar to Microcheilinella in dorsal view, with LV larger than RV and AB broadly rounded in 1/4 circle.
Etymology
Personal dedication to Candy Boiteux.
Material examined
Holotype
One carapace (Fig. 3A), Dajiang section, sample 05PAJ28, collection number P6M2917.
Paratype
One carapace (Fig. 3C), Dajiang section, sample 05PAJ17, collection number P6M2919.
Other material
4 carapaces, several fragments. The species is known from its type locality only.
Type locality
Wujiaping Formation (Samples 05PAJ17, 25, 28, 29), Dajiang section (25°33’56’’N- 106°39’41’’E), Guizhou Province, South China, Changhsingian, Late Permian.
Measurements
L = 323 – 464 μm; H = 140 – 200 μm; H/L = 0.43 – 0.44.
Description
Carapace elongated and subovoid in lateral view; surface smooth; carapace slightly preplete to amplete; LV strongly overlaps RV all around the carapace; Lmax below mid-H; dorsum long and slightly rounded in both valves, angles between PDB and DB not distinct; rounded angle between DB and ADB (~140°); PDB short and steep; DB long and gently bent backward; ADB short, steep and convex; ventral margin flat and straight at both valves;AVB, VB, PVB not distinct; AVB straight and slightly bent toward AB; AB broadly rounded in 1/4 circle; acratian beak clear but not pronounced, located at VB; PB sharpen with quite large radius of curvature for the genus, maximum slightly below mid-H; angle between AVB-AB (>90°) larger than angle between PVB-PB (<90°); dorsal view similar to the one of the genus Microcheilinella with carapace thick and Wmax located in the posterior 1/3 of L, hinge line slightly incised.
Through the ontogeny, the carapace becomes more stocky, more amplete at RV, with DB shorter and more rounded.
Remarks
The strong overlap of LV on RV all around the carapace and characteristics of dorsal view are reminiscent of the genus Microcheilinella. However the acratian beak clearly precludes Microcheilinella attribution and indicates the genus Acratia. Acratia candyae sp. nov. is very close to Acratia sp.2 sensu Crasquin, 2008 from the Late Permian of Dolomites (Crasquin et al. 2008). However, Acratia sp.2 sensu Crasquin, 2008 has longer ADB and well expressed angles between PDB, DB and ADB.

description: The study probed the effects of the Multiple-Representation Lesson Study (MRLS) on pre-service Physics teachers’ technological-pedagogical-content knowledge, critical thinking, and student achievement in Physics. The study also identified the challenges and the coping mechanisms in conducting the MRLS. The two-phase study employed a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with the participation of 18 pre-service Physics teachers and 12 intact Grade 8 classes of a public high school. The comparison group was exposed to Traditional Instructional Planning Approach (TIPA) while the experimental group was exposed to MRLS. Phase 1 of the study was conducted in Summer 2016 while Phase 2 was conducted during the practice teaching stage in the first semester of SY 2016-2017. Data from multiple sources were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, ANOVA, t-test, and constant comparative qualitative method. Results revealed significantly higher media scores of the MRLS group than the TIPA in the overcall TPCK and critical thinking, as well as in the various components of the two constructs both in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the study. Moreover, results suggest encouraging effects of the MRLS on student achievement. Meanwhile, seven dominant challenges and six coping mechanisms were revealed in the conduct of MRLS. Findings indicate a positive influence of the MRLS on pre-service teachers’ TPCK, critical thinking, and on the academic achievement of students; hence, the integration of the MRLS in the pre-service teacher education curriculum is recommended. Likewise, the extensive use of technology-generated and conventional multiple representations in Physics instruction is proposed to reinforce higher order thinking and student motivation.

description: Transient smearing, transient duplication and transient skipping are well-known artefacts introduced by time-stretching (TS) techniques. Aiming to avoid these artefacts transient preservation extensions are applied to TS techniques. Typically,
 the transients are detected in time/frequency regions. Then, a transient preservation processing is applied to these regions. The TS Technique based on Harmonic/Percussive Separation (HPS) relies on a conceptually easy approach to transient preservation that does not need an explicit transients detection in time. This approach is based on the separation of the input signal into the Harmonic and the Percussive components, where ideally only and exclusively the latter contains transients. A phase vocoder is applied to the harmonic component, whereas an overlap-add with parameters optimized to process transients is applied to the percussive component. The authors of the technique claimed that it preserves effectively transients and they highlighted the simplicity of their approach in comparison to other methods based on explicit transients detection in time. In this thesis, we describe and criticize the mentioned technique. We then propose to change the HPS method used to compute the components and evaluate the audio quality of the transformations obtained using the two systems. We found out that the proposed system improves the original on complex harmonic/percussive mixtures. However, the leaking of harmonic elements into the percussive component and the inverse leaking are often cause of not negligible TS artefacts in both systems, such as pitch distortion and transient smearing. We conclude suggesting that the technique could benefit from the use of a multi-resolutional phase vocoder avoiding the overlap-add. Implementing a scheme for explicit transient detection might be necessary.

description: Mit Precision Farming hält aktuell eine vielversprechende Innovation Einzug in die Landwirtschaft. Trotz der Vorteile, die die Technologie mit sich bringen soll, hält die Anwendung nur langsam Einzug in die landwirtschaftliche Praxis. In dieser Studie wurden die Motive für die Adaption von Precision Farming in der deutschen Landwirtschaft untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Online-Umfrage zeigen, dass es in den Gruppen der Nutzer und Nicht-Nutzer Unterschiede hinsichtlich Berufsbildungsabschluss, Betriebsgröße, Wirtschaftlichkeit sowie des Datenschutzes gibt. Zudem ergibt die Studie eine subjektiv gesteigerte Zufriedenheit hinsichtlich ökonomischer und ökologischer Vorteile bei den Landwirten, die durch die Nutzung der Technologie hervorgerufen wurden. Insgesamt sind von verschiedenen Akteuren der landwirtschaftlichen Branche weitere Anstrengungen zur Verbesserung der Technologie notwendig. Dies würde auch die breite Adaption von Precision Farming in Deutschland fördern und so zu einer nachhaltigen Zielerreichung in den Bereichen Umwelt-, Boden- und Artenschutz beitragen.

Diagnosis
Species attributed with doubt to the genus Bairdia, with relatively elongated carapace, ADB and DB not distinct, very large AB.
Etymology
Personal dedication to Hubert Colas.
Material examined
Holotype
One carapace (Fig. 4D), sample 05PAJ28, collection number P6M2942.
Paratype
One carapace (Fig. 4C), sample 05PAJ28, collection number P6M2941.
Other material
10 carapaces, several fragments. The species is known from its type locality only.
Type locality
Wujiaping Formation (samples 05PAJ20, 21, 23, 26-28), Dajiang section (25°33’56’’N- 106°39’41’’E), Guizhou Province, South China, Changhsingian, Late Permian.
Measurements (Fig. 5)
L = 581 – 837 μm; H = 332 – 512 μm; H/L = 0.53 – 0.64.
Description
Carapace relatively elongated, ovoid in lateral view; PDB long, straight to slightly convex; PDB-DB angle around 110°; DB and ADB not clearly distinct and along relative constant H, close to Hmax; VB concave; AVB rounded and long (~ 75% of Hmax); PVB very short and rounded; AB with large radius of curvature, maximum located on the upper 1/4 of H; PB with narrow radius of curvature, maximum located in the lower 1/4 of H; Lmax located around mid-H.
Remarks
High intraspecific variations that mainly affect the ADB and AB are observed in Bairdia? huberti sp. nov. They create continuum between Cryptobairdia -like (ABD not distinct: Fig. 4 C-E) and Bairdia - like specimens (ABD differentiated: Fig. 4A, B, F). The new species is therefore attributed with doubt to the genus Bairdia. Bairdia? huberti sp. nov. is similar to Bairdia broutini Crasquin, 2010 from the Late Permian of the Meishan section, Zhejiang Province, South China (Crasquin et al. 2010) because of the relative constant and high H. However, the new species is more elongated, with longer DB.

description: In the present paper we consider nonlinear wavelet estimators of the spectral density ƒ of a zero mean stochastic process, which is stationary in the wide sense. It is known in the case of Gaussian regression that these estimators outperform traditional linear methods if the degree of smoothness of the regression function varies considerably over the interval of interest. Such methods are based on a nonlinear treatment of estimators of coefficients that arise from a Fourier series expansion according to a wavelet basis. The main goal of this paper is to prepare the ground for the application of these methods to spectral density estimation, which is done by showing the asymptotic normality of certain empirical coefficients based on the tapered periodogram. For that we derive upper estimates for their cumulants, which yield the asymptotic normality in terms of probabilities of large deviations. Using these results we can conclude the risk equivalence to the Gaussian case for monotone estimators based on such empirical coefficients. Hence, we obtain estimators of ƒ, which keep all interesting properties like high spatial adaptivity that are already known from wavelet estimators in the case of Gaussian regression. It turns out that optimally tuned versions of these estimators attain the optimal uniform rate of convergence of their L2-risk in a wide variety of Besov smoothness classes.

description: We propose an algorithm that creates optimized cut-out sheets for paper models from textured polygon meshes. Crafting time and usage of paper and glue are reduced by first computing an initial cut tree to unfold the mesh into a plane. Overlaps in the plane are then eliminated by adding new cuts. Finally, glue tabs are generated along all cuts before fitting all unfolded parts onto paper sheets using a 2D bin packing algorithm.

Remarks
According to previously published records of Fabalicypris parva Wang, 1978, this species is known from the Late Moscovian (Carboniferous; Kozur 1985) to the Changhsingian (Late Permian; Wang 1978; Shi & Chen 1987; Crasquin-Soleau et al. 2004; Mette 2008; Crasquin et al. 2010). This long stratigraphic range is suspicious: most of the occurrences being late Permian in age, the Carboniferous one seems questionable. When defining F. hungarica Kozur, 1985 as a synonym of F. parva Wang, 1978, Crasquin et al. (2010) stated that F. hungarica had a more rounded PB and a maximum of convexity located higher than F. parva. However, because all intermediate shapes between the 2 species were available, they considered all the specimens as belonging to the same species. This observation together with the long stratigraphic repartition of the species seems to indicate an evolutionary trend within one single species. More material is necessary to test this hypothesis.
