Experience of Science Teachers in Practicing Rewards System to Increase Students’ Participation in Class

The study aimed to determine the Experience of Science teachers’ in practicing rewards system to increase student’s participation in class. A qualitative - phenomenology research design was adopted in this study. Interview guide question was used to examine the Experience of Science teachers’ in practicing rewards system to increase student’s participation in class. Data was collected through an interview. Total of 10 teachers were selected as a sample from 8 secondary schools in the Botolan District. The results of this study showed that reward system is effective in the performance of the students and encouragement to give the students good motivation in the learning process. Most of the participant find the rewards system as an effective tool in increasing student’s participation. Recognition such as giving praise and compliments is the usual form of rewards given by the teacher. In addition to extra grades, scores and test or homework exemptions. Preferred rewards of the teachers aside from giving praise and additional grades, are useful rewards such as school supplies, candies, and other food treats. Effective motivation of the student’s in participating in learning activities is the foreseen effects of rewards system.

The Online Life: the version of Moscow students

The authors consider the issues of the attitude of students to the measures of the Moscow Government against the COVID-19 at the peak of the pandemic, reveal changes in social values, moral and communicative priorities in conditions of mass restrictions when study, work, leisure, and human contacts of Muscovites, or rather when all the life has smoothly flown online. Hence, everyone found himself in a new reality, when fatigue comes not from an excess of communication, but from an excess of its fictitious quasi-forms, or the absence of communication in real. A new type of media space is emerging, a kind of metamedia space that overlaps all media communications of the dock-like world, leaving no room for public, group and personal connections in usual form.

Removal of Cancer Cells Using Thin Layers of Cadmium Oxide (CdO)�?DNA/RNA Sandwiched Complex Composite Plasmonic Nanostructure under Synchrotron Radiation

The current study is aimed to use Polysorbate 80 as surfactant for investigating the effectiveness of permeate TBA on the Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) anti–cancer protective membrane and the effect of loading DNA/RNA–CdO sandwiched complex on hydrophilicity and anti–cancer properties. The results showed decreasing surface pore size from 227 to 176 and increasing porosity from 101 to 111 with loading DNA/RNA–CdO sandwiched complex, and the permeate of anti–cancer protective membrane increased from 80 to 220 (L/m2.hr.bar) with loading DNA/RNA–CdO sandwiched complex. In addition, the results of current study showed that by increasing DNA/RNA–CdO sandwiched complex nanohybrides to 0.09Wt% to polymer matrix contact angle decreased from 84.4 to 23 degree. Moreover, the results of current study showed that by increasing DNA/RNA–CdO sandwiched complex nanohybrides to 0.09Wt% to hydrophilicity of anti–cancer protective membranes increased. All of the above results mentioned fouling of hybride anti–cancer protective membrane decreased than usual form. Therefore, hybride anti–cancer protective membranes of (DNA/RNA–CdO sandwiched complex) with the help of Polysorbate 80 as surfactant may be considered as a suitable anti�?cancer protective membrane for treatment of TBA.

Local Shape of the Vapor–Liquid Critical Point on the Thermodynamic Surface and the van der Waals Equation of State

Differential geometry is a powerful tool to analyze the vapor–liquid critical point on the surface of the thermodynamic equation of state. The existence of usual condition of the critical point (∂p/∂V)T=0 requires the isothermal process, but the universality of the critical point is its independence of whatever process is taken, and so we can assume (∂p/∂T)V=0. The distinction between the critical point and other points on the surface leads us to further assume that the critical point is geometrically represented by zero Gaussian curvature. A slight extension of the van der Waals equation of state is to letting the two parameters a and b in it vary with temperature, which then satisfies both assumptions and reproduces its usual form when the temperature is approximately the critical one.

Psychological Support and Psychotherapy during the COVID-19 Outbreak: First Response of Practitioners

Providers of psychological support and psychotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic unfolding were facing the new unavoidable reality, which required making urgent changes in their practice. The paper aimed to study the "first responses” of psychologists and psychotherapists to the COVID-19 pandemic situation with its uncertainty before the lockdown. An online survey was developed and distributed among psychologists and psychotherapists from Ukraine from 14 to March 16, 2020. Results showed that among survey respondents (n=145), 35.9% had already changed their practice somehow, and 75.2% had been considering how their practice might be modified. The more often the COVID-19 pandemic was discussed by patients, the more often it affected the style and technique of the corresponding specialists, thereby pushing psychotherapists to change the format of their work. Practice restrictions due to quarantine measures affected more affiliated consultants, while difficulties with setting (e.g., canceled sessions, financial issues) were more frequent among private practice consultants, and both proposed online consultations to their patients. In conclusion, the pandemic situation caused relevant modifications in the organization of psychological and psychotherapeutic support even during the first weeks of the COVID-19 outbreak in Ukraine. The first responses of practitioners were related to (a) their experience and type of affiliation, (b) the main approach, (c) the subjective readiness or non-readiness to modify the usual form of work, (d) the way of interpreting the patient’s anxieties, (e) the lethal cases of coronavirus in the area of living.

The transformation of phraseological units as a manifestation of language game in the journalism of V. V. Nabokov

The object of this research is the transformed phraseologisms determined through the method of continuous sampling in the journalistic texts of V. V. Nabokov. The subject of this research is the structural-semantic and functional-pragmatic peculiarities of transforms. The subject of this research is define by various “game” mechanisms of transformations in the area of phraseology, as a result of which the individual-authorial transformations ensure the implementation of the author's plan. The goal of this work is to determine the peculiarities of the authorial transformation of phraseological units in the context of language game, and establish the role of modified phraseologisms in enhancing the influencing potential of the journalistic text. The theoretical and methodological framework contains the works that view the phenomenon of language game and the general principles of occasional transformation of phraseological units. The author advances the hypothesis of the pragmatically justified use of transformed phraseologism, substantiated by the stylistic specificity of resorting to language game as a means of creating certain expressive effect and implementation of the author's plan in the journalistic text. The scientific novelty consists in the complex structural-semantic and functional-pragmatic approach towards studying the transformed phraseological units. This article is first to describe the individual-authorial transformations of phraseological units in the journalism of V. V. Nabokov. It is noted that in the journalistic texts of V. V. Nabokov, the language game pursues both, aesthetic and functional-pragmatic goals, which correlate with the specificity of journalistic genre. The use of familiar, easy to reproduce phraseological units creates a cultural presupposition, which in the context of language game acquires additional connotations, substantiated by game transformation of the usual form and the meaning of phraseological locution, which contributes to the periphrastic expression of the author's attitude towards the topic under review.

INFOGRAFIS PENCEGAHAN COVID 19 MELALUI EKSPLORASI DOKUMENTASI VIDEO PROJECTION MAPPING

The process of changing the initial shape of a facade into a new shape resulting in an optical illusion is an activity called Video Mapping. These objects will visually change from their usual form into a new form that is different and very fantastic. Projection mapping is a medium that can provide the audience with experience to feel three-dimensional effects in two-dimensional fields, or it can also be called immersive media. With the display of a projection mapping on a flat plane, it is possible to reach a wider segment of the material and content regarding government policies related to the Covid-19 preventive health protocol which can be displayed through projection video mapping media. Planning to create work for the Video Projection Mapping Documentation is none other than the departure from anxiety about the presence of conventional media and social media which report simply and monotonously related to government policies related to the prevention of Covid-19 and its health protocols. This is what causes people to just casually respond to the infographic because the content and visualization lack persuasive, dramatic and creative power. Because of this, a method of art creation is formulated in this artistic research, namely how to create infographics that emphasize new media as an alternative media for socializing government policies related to Covid-19 through the creation of the work Documentation Video Projection Mapping as an alternative media for the socialization of Covid-19 prevention. Keywords: infografis, ekplorasi, video dokumentasi, projection mapping

Homoseksualnost i rodni identitet u suvremenoj hrvatskoj drami

Homosexuality and gender identity issues, although lately often thematized, are still marginalized in Croatian society. Nonetheless, these topics occur as key concepts within which dramatic conflicts and characters are evolving. The two plays which will be analyzed were awarded with Marin Držić award for the best drama text and were staged in two Croatian theaters – ZKM and Kerempuh. The interpersonal relationships within one family and people close to the family members are on display in Tomislav Zajec’s play Ono što nedostaje. The main focus is on the sixteen-year-old David, who, appart from finding a way to communicate with his parents, has to struggle with his sexuality and the desire to be accepted and loved. In terms of speech and physical act his inner struggle is the greatest dramatic conflict and resolution at the same time, so his homosexuality is not in the focus of the play. The second play Ja od jutra nisam stao by Una Vizek addresses the issue of gender identity in today’s society. The author of the play attributes female characteristics to men by taking into account social prejudices and expectations. Each character is indicated with a number and their replica exchange is the usual form of a female chatter. The aim of this research is to show which strategies are used by authors to show the marginalization of the mentioned social groups, how characters are starting a conversation or losing the right to speak but also how they are entering into a dramatic conflict.

Influence of Sapropel, Diatomite, Brown Coal and Vermicompost in Normal and Ultrafine Forms on Productivity and Quality of Spring Barley

The article presents the findings on the use of foliar treatment with suspensions of sapropel, vermicompost, diatomite of conventional grinding and in ultrafine form. Fertilizers, ground to the smallest particles in deionized water under the action of ultrasound, have a high stimulating effect on the crop and have shown better results compared to conventional milled fertilizers. The yield of spring barley of the Prairia variety non-foliar treatment with these fertilizers contributed to an increase in the grain yield of spring barley of the Prairia variety up to 22.1 %. Analysis of the structure of the yield and the chemical composition of grain has showed that diatomite, sapropel and especially vermicompost both in the usual form and especially in the ultradispersed form affect the change in indicators in comparison with the fertilized background.

Compensated Evaluation of Tensor Product Surfaces in CAGD

In computer-aided geometric design, a polynomial surface is usually represented in Bézier form. The usual form of evaluating such a surface is by using an extension of the de Casteljau algorithm. Using error-free transformations, a compensated version of this algorithm is presented, which improves the usual algorithm in terms of accuracy. A forward error analysis illustrating this fact is developed.
