COMMUNICATION THEORY: RITUAL CONSTRAINTS USED IN ENGLISH CLASSROOM INTERACTION AT TENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMK YADIKA LUBUK LINGGAU

This research aimed to investigate what are the ritual constraints used and how the ritual constraints are expressed in the English classroom interaction at the tenth grade students of SMK YADIKA Lubuklinggau. Method applied in this study was descriptive method. The result of this research was hoped to be useful for teachers and students in teaching and learning process. It gave an input in teaching to emphasize classroom interaction effectively both enhance student achievement and more motivated students in solving the psychology problems, conceptual understanding with the result that the interaction between teacher and students are smooth and yield good feedback each other. Based on the result of data analysis there were four ritual constraints found: (a) ritual constraints in opening/ closing (b) Ritual constraints and backchannel signals, the teacher used verbal backchannel signals such as okay, yeah, and well. Beside, the students used ritual constraints and backchannel signals by using nonverbal backchannel signals such as: eyes contact and body alignment such as stand up and waving their hand. (c) Ritual constraints and turnover signals, the interaction between teacher and students gave signals by giving gaps/ small silences such as, slowing tempo, and falling intonation. (d) Ritual constraints and Grice's maxim (relevant) the student gave signals to answer the question relevantly without any other information; and ritual constraints and Grice's maxim (clarity) teacher demanded the students to be brief and orderly.
Constrained optimal control problems of nonlinear systems based on improved Newton algorithms
Venue: 2016 3rd International Conference on Informative and Cybernetics for Computational Social Systems (ICCSS)

In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem of constrained nonlinear systems. By standard optimization methods, it is difficult to solve the problem, since such constraints are very complex. To overcome this difficulty, by a smoothing technique and a penalty function method, an improved Newton algorithm is developed for solving the problem. Convergence results indicate that the proposed methods is globally convergent with quadratic rate. Finally, numerical results indicate that our method is effective compared to existing methods.
Geodesic Flow Kernel Support Vector Machine for Hyperspectral Image Classification by Unsupervised Subspace Feature Transfer
Venue: Remote. Sens.

In order to deal with scenarios where the training data, used to deduce a model, and the validation data have different statistical distributions, we study the problem of transformed subspace feature transfer for domain adaptation (DA) in the context of hyperspectral image classification via a geodesic Gaussian flow kernel based support vector machine (GFKSVM) To show the superior performance of the proposed approach, conventional support vector machines (SVMs) and state of the art DA algorithms, including information theoretical learning of discriminative cluster for domain adaptation (ITLDC) joint distribution adaptation (JDA) and joint transfer matching (JTM) are also considered. Additionally, unsupervised linear and nonlinear subspace feature transfer techniques including principal component analysis (PCA) randomized nonlinear principal component analysis (rPCA) factor analysis (FA) and non negative matrix factorization (NNMF) are investigated and compared. Experiments on two real hyperspectral images show the cross image classification performances of the GFKSVM, confirming its effectiveness and suitability when applied to hyperspectral images.
Visual domain adaptation via transfer feature learning
Venue: Knowledge and Information Systems

One of the serious challenges in computer vision and image classification is learning an accurate classifier for a new unlabeled image dataset, considering that there is no available labeled training data. Transfer learning and domain adaptation are two outstanding solutions that tackle this challenge by employing available datasets, even with significant difference in distribution and properties, and transfer the knowledge from a related domain to the target domain. The main difference between these two solutions is their primary assumption about change in marginal and conditional distributions where transfer learning emphasizes on problems with same marginal distribution and different conditional distribution, and domain adaptation deals with opposite conditions. Most prior works have exploited these two learning strategies separately for domain shift problem where training and test sets are drawn from different distributions. In this paper, we exploit joint transfer learning and domain adaptation to cope with domain shift problem in which the distribution difference is significantly large, particularly vision datasets. We therefore put forward a novel transfer learning and domain adaptation approach, referred to as visual domain adaptation (VDA) Specifically, VDA reduces the joint marginal and conditional distributions across domains in an unsupervised manner where no label is available in test set. Moreover, VDA constructs condensed domain invariant clusters in the embedding representation to separate various classes alongside the domain transfer. In this work, we employ pseudo target labels refinement to iteratively converge to final solution. Employing an iterative procedure along with a novel optimization problem creates a robust and effective representation for adaptation across domains. Extensive experiments on 16 real vision datasets with different difficulties verify that VDA can significantly outperform state of the art methods in image classification problem.
Influence of Mixture Composition and Type of Cementitious Materials on Enhancing the Fresh Properties and Stability of Self Consolidating Rubberized Concrete

AbstractAn experimental investigation was conducted to study the development of self consolidating rubberized concrete (SCRC) with improved flowability, passing ability, stability, and strength for multiple structural applications. The investigation particularly aimed to maximize the percentage of used crumb rubber (CR) in SCRC while minimizing the reduction in strength and stability of the developed mixtures. The experimental test parameters included CR percentage (0 50% by volume of sand) binder content (500 550 kg/m3) coarse aggregate size (10 20 mm) air entrainment, and supplementary cementing material (SCM) (fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and metakaolin) The performance of the developed SCRC was evaluated based on the results for compressive strength, flowability, passing ability, high range water reducer admixture (HRWRA) demand, coarse aggregate segregation, and CR distribution. The results indicated that mixtures with 500 kg/m3 binder content had acceptable strength, fresh pr.
Sports Participation and Juvenile Delinquency: A Meta Analytic Review
Venue: Journal of youth and adolescence

Participation in sports activities is very popular among adolescents, and is frequently encouraged among youth. Many psychosocial health benefits in youth are attributed to sports participation, but to what extent this positive influence holds for juvenile delinquency is still not clear on both the theoretical and empirical level. There is much controversy on whether sports participation should be perceived as a protective or a risk factor for the development of juvenile delinquency. A multilevel meta analysis of 51 published and unpublished studies, with 48 independent samples containing 431 effect sizes and N 132,366 adolescents, was conducted to examine the relationship between sports participation and juvenile delinquency and possible moderating factors of this association. The results showed that there is no overall significant association between sports participation and juvenile delinquency, indicating that adolescent athletes are neither more nor less delinquent than non athletes. Some study, sample and sports characteristics significantly moderated the relationship between sports participation and juvenile delinquency. However, this moderating influence was modest. Implications for theory and practice concerning the use of sports to prevent juvenile delinquency are discussed.
From Juvenile Delinquency to Adult Crime: Criminal Careers, Justice Policy, and Prevention

cess of learning and competing for the sake of personal development. If children are learning that winning is the most important thing and that winning does not come easily or often, they may become so discouraged that they drop out, which may jeopardize the ability to bounce back from a loss and try again, a skill emphasized by parents. Children's responses also indicate that while parents may be focused on inculcating skills that will help them become successful adults, children are focused on becoming successful children, namely by cultivating a sense of belonging among their peers. While the adults in their lives may be focused on ranking and sorting them and urging them to be the very best, young children's responses reflect more relational values, ones that place greater emphasis on befriending children from other schools, supporting the talents of friends and teammates, and experiencing wins and losses as a group. Levey Friedman wonders if the impulse to avoid the pressures of individual competition works against the ability to learn to be comfortable with individualized evaluations, another key skill that parents emphasize. These moments of disconnect between parents' intentions and children's experiences contribute to an understanding of children as active participants and co creators of the social world around them, rather than an understanding of children as passive recipients of adult decisions. Playing to Win provides a systematic examination of the motivations and parenting strategies of affluent parents, as well as the structure and content of three competitive, organized children's activities. However, it is much more difficult to deliver as effective an analysis of the potential consequences of this type of pathway consumption for the children in the study. As Levey Friedman notes, it is difficult to know whether parents' strategies will yield the intended long term outcomes. Despite this understandable limitation, there are empirical claims that feel less robustly supported by the data than others and topics that are not directly addressed. For example, while generalist parents claimed that involving children in an array of activities helped children learn to balance multiple commitments, manage a schedule, and prepare their equipment at home in advance of competitions, there is scant evidence in the text to support the claim that this is what children are actually doing for themselves. Rather, the data suggest that parents do much of this work for their children. There is also a missed opportunity to address the link between these highly privatized investments in particular children and the large scale public disinvestment in children as a whole. The historical overview of the evolution of children's activities has the potential to speak to the way that 'proper care' has shifted away from being perceived as a collective responsibility, but the message that children are increasingly perceived as a privatized good rather than a social one remains implied.
Empirically Based Strategies for Preventing Juvenile Delinquency.
Venue: Child and adolescent psychiatric clinics of North America

Juvenile crime is a serious public health problem that results in significant emotional and financial costs for victims and society. Using etiologic models as a guide, multiple interventions have been developed to target risk factors thought to perpetuate the emergence and persistence of delinquent behavior. Evidence suggests that the most effective interventions tend to have well defined treatment protocols, focus on therapeutic approaches as opposed to external control techniques, and use multimodal cognitive behavioral treatment strategies. Moving forward, there is a need to develop effective policies and procedures that promote the widespread adoption of evidence based delinquency prevention practices across multiple settings.

Social Bonds, Juvenile Delinquency, and Korean Adolescents

Social bonds theory is one of the most influential and tested perspectives for explaining juvenile delinquency, yet tests have often been methodologically limited. Prior research has failed to examine how intra and interindividual variation in social bonding influences delinquency. In addition, there are few applications of this theory to non Western contexts. Thus, the current study attempts to test the cross cultural generalizability of social bonds theory and overcome weaknesses of prior research. We use longitudinal panel analyses and five waves of data from the Korean Youth Panel Survey to examine the influence of nine measures of social bonding on delinquent behavior. By estimating different panel models, we find some support for social bonds as indicators of within and between individual variation in delinquency. Specifically, the emphasis on education in Korea and the role of parents in supervising their children play an integral role in reducing the delinquency of Korean youth.
Parental Low Self Control, Family Environments, and Juvenile Delinquency
Venue: International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology

Research consistently finds that low self control is significantly correlated with delinquency. Only recently, however, have researchers started to examine associations between parental low self control, family environments, and child antisocial behavior. Adding to this emerging area of research, the current study examines associations between parental low self control, aspects of the family environment, and officially recoded juvenile delinquency among a sample (N 101) of juveniles processed through a juvenile justice assessment facility located in the Southeastern United States. Furthermore, it considers whether aspects of family environments, particularly family cohesion, family conflict, and parental efficacy, mediate the influence of parental low self control on delinquency. The results of a series of analyses indicate that parental low self control is correlated with various aspects of family environments and juvenile delinquency, and that the association between parental low self control and juvenile delinquency is mediated by family environments. Supplementary analyses also suggest that the association between parental low self control and the family environment may be reciprocal.
Analysis of Three Phase Transformer Response due to GIC Using an Advanced Duality Based Model
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery

In this paper, the behavior of three phase transformers in the presence of geomagnetically induced current (GIC) is investigated. The associated phenomena involve very slow transients, in the millihertz range, while representing significant magnitudes of even and odd harmonics of power frequency. As a result, the transformer response involves nonlinear and frequency dependent effects. This paper considers the impact of variations in the transformer core construction and design parameters on its saturated behavior and the resulting reactive power absorption, when subjected to GIC. A detailed transformer model is described including air gap and tank effects. The study results highlight significant parameters that can affect transformer reactive power and promote them as being important parameters for GIC studies. Furthermore, the transformer dynamics during the slow transient of the GIC variations and polarity reversal are discussed.
A Novel Strategy for Reducing Inrush Current of Three Phase Transformer Considering Residual Flux
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics

Proper use of phase controlled switching technology by controlling the making or breaking of the circuit breaker (CB) at predetermined phase angles of current or voltage can improve the service life of the CB, avoid relay protection device from mal operation, and reduce the impact on the power grid when power equipment or load is energized or taken out. This paper proposes a novel phase controlled switching method to address the influence of residual flux for three phase wye winding unloaded transformers with three limbs, such as large capacitor variable frequency transformer or mine explosion proof transformer. The optimal operation phase angle for CBs is firstly obtained via theoretical analysis. A model based on the alternative transients program/the electromagnetic transients program (ATP/EMTP) is then built to simulate the transient procedure of a power transformer during breaking and making. The simulated results confirm that the proposed switching strategy can reduce the excitation inrush current effectively when the unloaded transformers are energized. The experimental results reported in this paper are used to validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the phase controlled switching strategy.
Efficacy of homeopathy in livestock according to peer reviewed publications from 1981 to 2014
Venue: Veterinary Record

Homeopathy is widely used in livestock, especially in order to reduce the use of antibiotics, although it is often seen as controversial. A comprehensive literature review has been conducted to assess the efficacy of homeopathy in cattle, pigs and poultry. Only peer reviewed publications dealing with homeopathic remedies, which could possibly replace or prevent the use of antibiotics in the case of infective diseases or growth promotion in livestock were included. Search results revealed a total number of 52 trials performed within 48 publications fulfilling the predefined criteria. Twenty eight trials were in favour of homeopathy, with 26 trials showing a significantly higher efficacy in comparison to a control group, whereas 22 showed no medicinal effect. Cure rates for the treatments with antibiotics, homeopathy or placebo varied to a high degree, while the remedy used did not seem to make a big difference. Looking at all the studies, no study was repeated under comparable conditions. Consequently, the use of homeopathy currently cannot claim to have sufficient prognostic validity where efficacy is concerned. When striving for high therapeutic success in treatment, the potential of homeopathy in replacing or reducing antibiotics can only be validated if evidence of efficacy is confirmed by randomised controlled trials under modified conditions.

Non neutrality in forest communities: evolutionary and ecological determinants of tree species abundance distributions

The unified neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography provides a promising framework that can be used to integrate stochastic and ecological processes operating in ecological communities. Based on a mechanistic non neutral model that incorporates density dependent mortality, we evaluated the deviation from a neutral pattern in tree species abundance distributions and explored the signatures of historical and ecological processes that have shaped forest biomes. We compiled a dataset documenting species abundance distributions in 1168 plots encompassing 16 973 tree species across tropical, temperate, and boreal forests. We tested whether deviations from neutrality of species abundance distributions vary with climatic and historical conditions, and whether these patterns differ among regions. Non neutrality in species abundance distributions was ubiquitous in tropical, temperate, and boreal forests, and regional differences in patterns of non neutrality were significant between biomes. Species abundance evenness/unevenness caused by negative density dependent or abiotic filtering effects had no clear macro scale climatic drivers, although temperature was non linearly correlated with species abundance unevenness on a global scale. These findings were not significantly biased by heterogeneity of plot data (the differences of plot area, measurement size, species richness, and the number of individuals sampled) Therefore, our results suggest that environmental filtering is not universally increasing from warm tropical to cold boreal forests, but might affect differently tree species assembly between and within biomes. Ecological processes generating particularly dominant species in local communities might be idiosyncratic or region specific and may be associated with geography and climate. Our study illustrates that stochastic dynamical models enable the analysis of the interplay of historical and ecological processes that influence community assemblies and the dynamics of biodiversity.
Enterprise resource planning adoption and satisfaction determinants
Venue: Comput. Hum. Behav.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are at the core of every firm. Making people use this costly and time consuming investment is one of the most important issues to deal with. The main objective of the present study is to find the key determinants that open the door to user satisfaction and adoption. A theoretical model was set and an online survey was conducted to understand ERP users' perspective on such matters. The outcome was the model validation and the understanding that top management support, training, and the system quality are important constructs to assess adoption and user satisfaction. In fact, the latter (system quality) has a significant influence on the behavioural intention to use and also in the overall user satisfaction. As management support is a very relevant determinant to ERP usage. Accordingly, this study enlightens theory, by contributing to a new model of ERP adoption and satisfaction. It also provides relevant evidence to companies involved in the ERP implementation process. Study integrating the impact of management support in ERPs' usage.Integrate system quality dimension in adoption model.Proposal of a theoretical model that includes an empirical work in real ERPs' usage context.
