This paper describes a preliminary study examining how the audience of stand-up comedy approach humor analysis. By expanding the scope of the General Theory of Verbal Humor (Attardo 2001), it was possible to use the framework to aid and systematize the interpretation process, resulting in shifting the theory’s focus from humor production to humor perception. The first part of the paper introduces the main premise of stand-up comedy. The second part is devoted to the theoretical aspects, namely the theory of humor. The third part discusses the methodology of the preliminary study: a two-step interpretation task done by four audience members. The fourth and the fifth sections present the results of the study and discuss the implications. The outcome of the analysis gives an understanding as to what the audience may focus on during the interpretation process, which allows for identification of differences in humor perception.

The present paper is focused on the extraction of gold from high-grade e-waste, i.e., spent electronic connectors and plates, by leaching and electrowinning. These connectors are usually made up of an alloy covered by a layer of gold; sometimes, in some of them, a plastic part is also present. The applied leaching system consisted of an acid solution of diluted sulfuric acid (0.2 mol/L) with thiourea (20 g/L) as a reagent and ferric sulfate (21.8 g/L) as an oxidant. This system was applied on three different high-grade e-waste, namely: (1) Connectors with the partial gold-plated surface (Au concentration—1139 mg/kg); (2) different types of connectors with some of which with completely gold-plated surface (Au concentration—590 mg/kg); and (3) connectors and plates with the completely gold-plated surface (Au concentration—7900 mg/kg). Gold dissolution yields of 52, 94, and 49% were achieved from the first, second, and third samples, respectively. About 95% of Au recovery was achieved after 1.5 h of electrowinning at a current efficiency of only 4.06% and current consumption of 3.02 kWh/kg of Au from the leach solution of the third sample.

A general theory of electron diffraction by crystals is developed. The crystals are assumed to be infinitely extended in two dimensions and finite in the third dimension. For the scattering problem by this structure two-dimensionally expanded forms of GREEN’S function and integral equation are at first derived, and combined in single three-dimensional forms. EWALD’S method is applied to sum up the series for GREEN’S function.

Abstract Objective: To describe the development of the Assessment Scale of Psychosocial Impact of the Diagnosis of Dementia (ASPIDD), a multidimensional scale to evaluate awareness of disease in dementia. Method: The development of this scale was conducted in four steps. In step one, questions were drawn up after a review of the literature. The second step involved the suggestions offered by a neurologist regarding the skills considered important for the scale. The third step involved the re-writing and review of the domains and questions in the scale followed by a semantic evaluation performed by two independent psychiatrists. Step four consisted of the preliminary study aimed at evaluating the applicability of the ASPIDD. Results: In the semantic evaluation only minor changes were proposed. The preliminary sample had 52 patients, comprising 23 CDR 1 (male=9; female=14) and 29 CDR2 (male=13; female=16). Mean age of patients was 69.7±5.51 (CDR1) and 73.6±9.4 (CDR2), and age at onset was 66.4±5.7 years (CDR1) and 68.3±9.3 year (CDR2). Mean schooling was 9.0±4.3 years (CDR1) and 8.8±4.4 years (CDR2). Mean MMSE was 21.0±3.3 (CDR1) and 17.6±3.5 (CDR2). Mean Cornell was 4.8±2.3 (CDR1) and 4.2±1.9 (CDR2). The patient and caregiver dyads were aware of problems, mainly of those related to social, family and affective relations. The higher rates of discrepant responses were found on the awareness of cognitive deficits and changes in ADL. Conclusion: The ASPIDD is a multidimensional instrument to assess awareness of disease among AD patients.

In this research, a preliminary study was carried out in January and February 2014 to determine the fecundity of the whiting species in Tirebolu, Eastern Black Sea. After the total length (cm) and weight (0.01 g) of the 70 fish specimens were measured in the laboratory, they were dissected for sex determination. Using the 20 ovaries at the third and fourth maturation stages, 3 sub-samples which is 2-5% of the total ovary weight (from the anterior, median and posterior parts of the ovary) were taken from each ovary to determine the fecundity, and hydrated oocytes were counted with gravimetric method. Total fecundity, total oocytes number in the ovary were computed with the formula F=(n×G)/g. The total length-weight values were 12.6-23.3 cm (mean 17.08±2.12) and 15.59-95.72 g (mean 41.07 ± 16.75), respectively, and total length-weight relationship was computed as W=0.0073L3.024 (R2=0.94) for the 70 fishes evaluated. Fecundity was computed as 3.247-30.534 (mean: 10.139±6.953) eggs and a linear relationship between fecundity and total length was calculated as F=0.0186L4.5631 (R2=0.70). In conclusion, the fecundity results of this prelaminar study were compared with similar studies on the whiting species from Black Sea and other seas.

Preliminary Study

Based on the results of a preliminary study conducted on 20 children, the number of children who got 4 stars was 3 children with a percentage (15%), 3 stars were 4 children with a percentage (20%), 2 stars were 3 children with a percentage (15%), while those who got 1 star were 10 children with a percentage (50%). This shows that there are still many children who have not been able to count from 1-10, which means that many children have not achieved their learning completeness. For this reason, it is necessary to take action so that children's learning completeness can be achieved. The purpose of this study was to see the effectiveness of using smart tree media in improving children's numeracy skills 1-10. The design chosen for this study was the Kemmis and Taggart Classroom Action Research Model with 3 cycles. The data collection techniques used are performance techniques to collect data about students' numeracy skills and observation techniques to collect data about the learning process when each action cycle is carried out. The results of the data analysis showed that after the third cycle was completed, the learning completeness of the children reached 80%, meaning that there were 16 children who achieved learning completeness. The conclusion is that smart tree media can improve numeracy skills 1-10 in group A children at An-Nur Labuapi Kindergarten.Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan pada 20 anak, 3 anak (15%) mendapat 4 bintang, 4 anak (20%) mendapat 3 bintang, 3 anak (15%) mendapat 2 bintang, dan sisanya 10 anak (50%) mendapatkan 1 bintang. Hal ini menunjukkan masih banyak anak yang belum dapat berhitung dari 1-10, yang berarti banhyak anak yang belum tercapai ketuntasan belajarnya. Untuk itu perlu adanya Tindakan yang dilakukan agar ketuntasan belajar anak dapat tercapai. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melihat efektivitas penggunaan media pohon pintar dalam meningkatkan kecakapan berhitung 1-10 pada anak.

Direct Feedback

Formative assessments developed by teachers are generally conventional. One of the most common constraints on conventional formative assessment is the time to correct the test results long enough, especially for schools with large capacity classes. Therefore the teacher difficulties in providing direct feedback. This paper proposes a computer-based assessment product called ASFORDIASI BEKOM. The application is able to provide formative tests, feedback immediately after conducting tests, and provides remediation materials to help learners learn independently. The design of the study used the Dick & Carey (2001) research and development design which consists of four general stages: preliminary study, preparation, development, and effectiveness test. The study is limited to the third stage of development stage. Based on the validation and trial results of the product, BEKOM ASFORDIASI is considered feasible if used for learning especially on temperature material and calor grade VII SMP.
