On smallest (generalized) ideals and semilattices of (2,2)-regular non-associative ordered semigroups

An ordered AG-groupoid can be referred to as a non-associativeordered semigroup, as the main di¤erence between an ordered semigroup and anordered AG-groupoid is the switching of an associative law. In this paper, wede ne the smallest left (right) ideals in an ordered AG-groupoid and use them tocharacterize a (2; 2)-regular class of a unitary ordered AG-groupoid along with itssemilattices and (2 ;2 _q)-fuzzy left (right) ideals. We also give the conceptof an ordered A*G**-groupoid and investigate its structural properties by usingthe generated ideals and (2 ;2 _q)-fuzzy left (right) ideals. These concepts willverify the existing characterizations and will help in achieving more generalizedresults in future works.

An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Verbal Chaining Element of "Autopilot", a Rote Learning Programme Used by Teachers of Yr. 1-3 Students

<p>A rote-learning programme, "Autopilot", was used for a five-week period with two classes of Year 2 students, to teach the verbal chains: days of the week, months of the year, the alphabet, counting in ones, twos, fives and tens. A quasi-experimental multiple baseline was used with the two classes. After five weeks of instruction all seven chains were reassessed and the percentage of positive changes were compared. The class receiving Autopilot made an average positive change increase of 80. 05%. The class receiving a regular class programme over the same five-week period, made apositive change increase of 39.5%. When the treatment was switched, the class who had received Autopilot continued to maintain or increase the length of the chain. This research shows that the use of a rote leaming programme, such as Autopilot, is an appropriate tool for the teaching of verbal chains in junior school classes.</p>

Bimodal Remapping of Visual Grids

Spatially modulated neurons from the rat secondary visual cortex (V2) show grid-like firing patterns during freely foraging in open-field enclosures. However, the remapping of the V2 grid cells is not well understood. Here we report two classes of V2 grid cell populations with distinct remapping properties: one regular class with invariant grid field patterns, and the other bimodal class that has remapping induced by environmental manipulations such as changes in enclosure shape, size, orientation and lighting in a familiar environment. The bimodal V2 grid cell pattern remains stable regardless of the follow-up manipulations, but restores to the original firing pattern upon animal's re-entry into the familiar environment on the next day or from the novel environment. The bimodal V2 grid cells are modulated with theta frequency during the course of remapping and stabilize quickly. We also found conjunctive bistable V2 grid cells with invariant head directional tuning. Overall, our results suggest a new grid cell mechanism in V2 that is different from the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) grid cells.

DETERMINAN PEMILIHAN KARIR AKUNTAN

The goal of this research is to find out what factors influence accounting students' decision to pursue a career as an accountant (public accountants, corporate accountants, teaching accountants, government accountants). The variables of consideration of the job market, work environment, financial rewards/salaries, and professional training are used to measure the factors that influence career choice. The respondents for this study were 72 accounting students from Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon's regular class who were in their 5th and 7th semesters. Multiple regression analysis with SPSS version 22 was used as the analytical method in this study. The findings revealed that labor market considerations, financial/salary rewards, and professional training had no significant impact on accounting students' decision to become accountants, whereas the work environment had a significant impact. accounting in order to pursue a career as an accountant.

Aerodynamic Shape Multi-Objective Optimization for SAE Aero Design Competition Aircraft

The SAE Regular Class Aero Design Competition requires students to design a radio-controlled aircraft with limits to the aircraft power consumption, take-off distance, and wingspan, while maximizing the amount of payload it can carry. As a result, the aircraft should be designed subject to these simultaneous and contradicting objectives: 1) minimize the aerodynamic drag force, 2) minimize the aerodynamic pitching moment, and 3) maximize the aerodynamic lift force. In this study, we optimized the geometric design variables of a biplane configuration using 3D aerodynamic analysis using the ANSYS Fluent. Coefficients of lift, drag, and pitching moment were determined from the completed 3D CFD simulations. Extracted coefficients were used in modeFRONTIER multi-objective optimization software to find a set of non-dominated (Pareto-optimal or best trade-off) optimized 3D aircraft shapes from which the winner was selected based to the desired plane performance.

Conceptual project of a radio controlled aircraft in the SAE Brazil Aerodesign competition requirements

In mechanical engineering, the possibility of developing conceptual designs before building a prototype makes the process faster, more flexible and at a lower cost, enabling various tests, changes and improvements in the initial project. The construction of radio controlled aircraft is interesting for the technological growth of the engineering area, and competitions such as the one promoted by SAE Aerodesign enable the development of multidisciplinary projects involving various skills and students from different courses making them exercise their entrepreneurial skills and acquisition of new knowledge. This work aimed to elaborate a conceptual design of an aircraft based on the requirements defined by the SAE Brazil Aerodesign 2020 competition regulations, as well as its structural and aerodynamic analyses. After preliminary studies of the regulations and results from the winning teams of the last competitions, the parameters were defined and the conceptual project was elaborated and the preliminary structural and aerodynamic analyses were performed. With these results it was possible to define the design of the radio controlled aircraft meeting the requirements of the SAE Brazil Aerodesign competition for regular class, enabling the construction of the prototype and the start of the first competition team at ISECENSA

Using Mindfulness/Contemplative Practices to Help Students Focus in Mathematics Classrooms

Can using mindfulness/contemplative practices help students become mindful, focused, and present in the mathematics classroom? In this study, mindfulness/contemplative practices were used in the mathematics classroom to determine if students were encouraged to be mindful, focused, and present or engaged in problem solving. During class time, students engaged in the following 2 contemplative practices: a “Mindful Minute of Deep Breathing” and “Beholding the Mathematics”. The one minute of mindful Deep Breathing took place usually at the beginning of class. Then, during a regular class period, students used Beholding to look more deeply at topics, probe questions, and investigate answers to questions. The survey responses indicated that the mindfulness/contemplative practices were very useful in the mathematics classroom to help students to be mindful (both inside and outside of the classroom), focus on the mathematics taught, and be present or engaged in the problem solving.

Impact of Extracurricular Activities on Academic Performance of Students at Secondary Level

The present study aims to observe the impact of extracurricular activities on the academic performance of students at the secondary level in Multan city. All the students at the secondary level in the public sector of Multan city are the population of this study. Three hundred student’s 9th and 10th classes from (two) secondary schools from Multan city were selected. For this study, the researcher uses a simple random sampling technique. A total of 30 survey questions were developed based on Likert-scale type statement options (SA, A, N, DA, SDA), keeping in mind the objective of the study. The data were tabulated and analyzed by using descriptive statistical techniques. The MS-Excel is used for the descriptive analysis of the data. The study concluded that there is a severe need for the introduction of extracurricular activities, orientation programs for the students of secondary level. Extracurricular activities have a positive influence on students' life by improving their behavior, academic performance, better exam scores, more regular class attendance, a better self-image, due to these aspects which makes the students life more successful. Finally, the study suggests that Government should support the introduction of extracurricular activities in all secondary schools, allocate special funds, appoint special trainers/teachers, and fix their pay equal to other subject teachers.
