The purpose of the article is to model and analyze fragments of the language consciousness of schoolchildren associated with modern and traditional sources of information. The material for the study are the results of associative experiments conducted in several stages in 2015–2018. The author used psycholinguistic method of a free associative experiment with the subsequent construction of the traditional and cognitive structure of the associative field to determine the composition of the resulting components of the incentive semantics. The identification of trends in semantic development was carried out using the method of semantic comparison of the resulting field structures with essays on the themes «If there were no computers and tablets ...», «Read or see?», «If there were no books, then ...». The results of the research are descriptions of cognitive structures of associative fields, identifying a significant number of layers in them, establishing similarities and differences in their semantic composition, creating semantic portraits of stimuli, identifying the leading semantic areas of the texts of the works, which reflect the composition of the actualized components of these fragments. Conclusions: the intersection of the semantic areas of these phenomena with the global categories “knowledge”, “entertainment”, “person”, “information” in schoolchildren’s consciousness, the relevance of meanings ‘development / degradation’, ‘mind / stupidity’; ‘health, benefit / harm’; the stability of the lines of interaction between the semantic areas «Internet», «Computer», «Tablet», «Game», «Information», «Communication», the subjects (who are in friendly and family relations especially); the relevance of the semantic space of the game in the AF «Computer», «Tablet», «Internet», the space of knowledge in the AF «Book»; the age specificity of the composition of the fields, the appearance with different frequency of reactions associated with school, study; depletion of associative fields in recent experiments.

Information Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized the world communication order. People can be informed in more effective, efficient and convenient ways. Access to media has percolated to the grassroots. In spite of all such remarkable developments, whether ICT facilitates Science communication is a billion dollar question. Though information is freely and widely available by virtue of ICT, yet, there are areas where Science communication through ICT still needs to be developed to deliver critical information to the needy. Objectives: The objectives of the study are to find out: whether patients and care givers have perception of their information needs? What sources of information they usually consult? What type of channels/media they possess to access the information? What sources the patients and care givers prefer to consult? Whether in the opinion of the patients and their care givers, the ICTs are effective in delivering the critical information. Methodology: An exploratory survey was conducted. A semi-structured interview was employed to collect data from a group of 188 patients and care givers in the hospitals and clinics in Hyderabad (India). Results and conclusion: The study determined the patients’ and care givers’ preferences for technologies in keeping informed. It also brought to light the limitations and usefulness of ICTs in Science communication in general and medical information in particular.

This article is a study of literature describing religious harmony: the relevance of Article 25 of the Medina Charter and Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution. The Medina Charter was made in the 7th century (classical century) and Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution was born in modern times, around the 20th century. Both have relevancy which states that every citizen is free to adhere to their respective religions. The plurality of society in Indonesia has similarities and differences from the plurality of society in Medina around 622 AD. The stability and harmony of religious communities in the Medina at that time was regulated in the Medina charter which is the constitution of the Medina state. Harmony among religious communities in Indonesia is also an important concern of the Indonesian government as stipulated in Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution. Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the state because the state believes that religious diversity is not a disintegrating factor for the Indonesian people.Abstrak: Artikel ini adalah kajian literatur yang mendeskripsikan kerukunan umat beragama: relevansi pasal 25 Piagam Madinah dan Pasal 29 UUD 1945. Piagam Madinah dibuat pada abad VII (abad klasik) dan pasal 29 UUD 1945 baru lahir pada zaman modern, sekitar abad XX. Keduanya memiliki relevansi yang menyatakan bahwa setiap warga negara bebas menganut agamanya masing-masing. Kemajemukan masyarakat di Indonesia mempunyai sisi-sisi persamaan dan perbedaan dengan kemajemukan masyarakat di Madinah sekitar tahun 622 M. Keberlangsungan dan keharmonisan umat beragama di negara Madinah pada waktu itu diatur dalam piagam Madinah yang merupakan konstitusi negara Madinah. Kerukunan antar umat beragama di Indonesia juga menjadi perhatian penting pemerintah dengan adanya kebijakan Negara Republik Indonesia dari segi agama yang tertuang dalam pasal 29 UUD 1945. Kebebasan beragama ini dijamin oleh negara karena keyakinan bahwa keberagaman agama tidak akan menjadi disentegrating factor bagi bangsa Indonesia

The research shows the resultative character of predominant markers, i.e. students consider “success” to be the result of some effort and targeted activity. Cognitive structure of “success” concept in groups of students with different experience in parental family relations is characterized by specific combination of semantic features. Positive experience in parental family relations promotes semantic orientation of subjects on success (the substantial structure of markers is characterized by a positive modality). If speaking about the cognitive structure of “success” concept for students with an adverse experience in parental family relations, it is characterized by prevalence of contradictory modalities, material component of success prevails in this case. The prevalence of emotional and estimation markers in this group allows to fix an insufficient cognitive maturity of students. The group of students with an average experience in parental family relations has a negative notion of “success” and negative modality of its cognitive structure. This group is characterized by the lack of cognitive and semantic orientation, i.e. students have almost no ability to realize and understand the signs of the concept mentioned above. The group of students with an inconsistence experience in parental family relations is characterized by various markers of “success” concept cognitive structure. Positive and negative modalities are found here in equal proportion, the signs of students’ intellectual and personal resources intercommunication are found.

Time Point

AbstractThe similarities and differences in values between generations reflect both the stability and change of socio-cultural trends prevailing at a specific time point as well as developmental processes occurring across the life span. Intergenerational similarities in values may be the effect of value transmission within family or consequence of sharing the same socio-cultural context, since both these processes are difficult to separate. The aims of the study were: 1) to describe similarities and differences in values preferences between young women and their both parents; 2) to determine which values may be transmitted within families. Ninety nine women aged 19-25 and their both parents filled in the Schwartz’ Portrait Value Questionnaire [PVQ- 21, Schwartz 2003]. Comparing to older generation young women showed greater preference for achievement, hedonism, stimulation and universalism as well as less preference for conformity and tradition. To assess value transmission two methods measuring similarity between family members were used. According to correlation analysis values representing conservation (conformity, tradition and security) as well as benevolence and power were transmitted in families between women, while security and two values related to self-enhancement (power and achievement) were transmitted between fathers and daughters. According to comparisons of family dyads with pseudo family dyads only mothers and daughters were found to be similar in their preference for tradition, security and power.

Product Preference

Engineers describe design concepts using design variables. Users develop their visual judgment of products by mentally grouping design variables according to Gestalt principles, extracting meaning using semantic dimensions and attaching attributes to the products, as reflected in Kansei methodology. The goal of this study was to assess how these different sources of information and representations of product form (design variables, Gestalt variables, Kansei attributes, and semantic dimensions) could combine to best predict product preference for both designers and users. Sixteen wheel rim designs were created using four design variables that were also combined into higher-order Gestalt variables. Sixty-four participants viewed each rim, and rated it according to semantic dimensions and Kansei attributes, and provided an overall “like” rating. The most reliable prediction of product preference were developed using Gestalt variables in combination with the meaning and emotion the users attached to the product. Finally, implications for designers are discussed.

Since the invention of cameras, video shooting has become a passion for human. However, the quality of videos recorded with devices such as handheld cameras, head cameras, and vehicle cameras may be low due to shaking, jittering and unwanted periodic movements. Although the issue of video stabilization has been studied for decades, there is no consensus on how to measure the performance of a video stabilization method. In many studies in the literature, different metrics have been used for comparison of different methods. In this study, deep convolutional neural networks are used as a decision maker for video stabilization. VGG networks with different number of layers are used to determine the stability status of the videos. It was observed that VGG networks showed a classification performance up to 96.537% using only two consecutive scenes. These results show that deep learning networks can be utilized as a metric for video stabilization.
