Schoolscaping in the third space

The aim of this paper is to trace students’ multilingualism and agency in the schoolscape of the Language Introduction Programme (LIP) in one Swedish upper secondary school. Through linguistic schoolscaping, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of LIP. The schoolscape is analysed as reconstructions of photographs of displayed images, objects, symbols, and written language on walls and elsewhere in the school area. The photographs are analysed in terms of how they orient to time, place, and space; control behaviour; and shape discourses. Through the analysis, discourses of an organized, inclusive, and tolerant society appear, that simultaneously shape a discourse of behaviour: in this school (and in Sweden) we (want to) follow (the) rules. Students’ multilingualism is nearly absent in the schoolscape, as is their agency. In line with Bhabha’s concept third space, the schoolscape may be understood as a space for Swedishness, where inclusion demands mastery of Swedish. The in-betweenness of the LIP, as a transitional programme, appears as a space to escape otherness by changing language, which is the requirement for inclusion. Thus, in this case, the signage displayed in the schoolscape does not open up spaces for identity development related to multilingualism or multiculturalism. Opening space for students as agents in the schoolscape and making their diverse linguistic resources visible would also open up a third space for negotiation of norms, through contestation, resistance, and manifestation. Thus students’ development of multiple identities would be enabled and their opportunities to be (co-)creators of their own futures widened.

Correlation Between the Set of Knowledge, Perception, Attitude, and Motivation with the Fire Risk Control Behaviour

A fire accident may happen at anytime and anywhere. Such an accident happened in 2017 on the campus of Bogor Agriculture University (IPB). It was caused by an electricity short circuit. In 2013, an electricity panel exploded in a building at Faletehan University campus. A fire accident is an imminent threat that will result in a great loss so that an occupational health and safety program to deal with fire risks needs to be implemented in an academic community and other public space. To find out the correlation between the set of knowledge, perception, attitude, and motivation and the fire risk control behaviour. A quantitative statistical analysis was conducted on cross-sectional. The research was carried out at the Falatehan campus from July to September 2021. data obtained from all members of the academic community at Faletehan University (2144 persons). Out of that population of 2144 respondents, 377 respondents were made as samples. Data obtained from answers in the questionnaires distributed among all respondents were processed with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Each member of the set of knowledge, perception, attitude, and motivation is correlated with the fire risk control behaviour. Knowledge and fire risk control behaviour have an OR (odds ratio) of 2.193 and p-value of 0.0000. Perception and fire risk control behaviour have an OR of 1.962 and p-value of 0.001. Attitude and fire risk control behaviour have an OR of 1.785 and p-value of 0.006. Motivation and fire risk control behaviour have an OR of 1.962 and p-value of 0.001. The dominating factor associated with the fire risk control behaviour is motivation with an OR of 2,538 and p-value of 0.000 on their relationship. Knowledge, perception, attitude, and motivation are strongly correlated with fire risks control behaviour. Suggestions: The top management of Faletehan University needs to maintain the motivation of all its academic community members in fire risk control behaviour and to strengthen occupational health and safety programs related to fire safety.

Antecedents of noise pollution control behaviour of employees of construction companies

PurposeConstruction activities generate noise that is harmful to workers and the neighbouring community. Engineering control methods are often used for its control which are expensive and limited in effectiveness. This study aims to investigate factors that affect employee behaviour and how it could be used by construction companies to manage noise pollution on sites.Design/methodology/approachNorm Activation Model (NAM) is used to investigate the relationship between attitudes and behaviour of site-based employees using a questionnaire survey administered in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The responses were analysed using structural equation modelling to discern behavioural patterns and how it differs between managers and workers.FindingsThe results showed that behaviour of site employees could be influenced when they are aware of the consequences of noise pollution and take responsibility for its control. Personal norm of an employee and company's environmental behaviour are found to influence the behaviour in a positive manner.Practical implicationsConstruction companies should focus more on how to harness their employee's behaviour in order to reduce noise pollution on sites. Employees should be made aware of consequences of noise pollution and feel responsible for their actions through training, awareness campaigns, signage and so on.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by building a theoretical model of employee noise control behaviour in construction organizations and empirically testing it among managers and workers. It compares the differences between these two groups which enhances one’s understanding of behavioural control methods when applied in a construction project setting. The study also evaluates the effects of company's environmental behaviour on employee behaviour.

Analysis of a Unibody Stub Axle-Hub Design for an ATV

This paper aims to design and model a unibody hub and stub axle Wheel assembly to withstand rough terrain conditions while adhering to design optimization objectives of weight, costs, and manufacturability. For any ground vehicle, its dynamics and control behaviour are majorly governed by the design of its wheel assembly since it experiences all the major loads an ATV faces. We aimed to design and fabricate a unibody hub and stub axle that is lightweight and more durable in comparison to the present form of design in which the hub and stub axle is manufactured and assembled separately. The advantages of this unibody design are lesser components, easy replacement, and easy manufacturing. This report also considers the simulation of this unibody using FEM through Ansys, considering all the loads acting on the unibody. Also, the cost and strength comparison of different materials is done for the selection of the best material. Design is done in such a way to consider all the parameters such as performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, weight, and cost. The model achieves a significant reduction in unsprung mass, improving the dynamic performance of the ATV, without requiring a change in suspension geometry. We also analyze the improvement in vehicle performance in shifting from the classic independent stub through hub design to this integrated unibody design.

18. Critical criminology

This chapter investigates critical criminology. The strands that are widely regarded as most important in the development of critical criminology are labelling perspectives, Marxist-inspired critical theories, power perspectives, and feminist perspectives. The ideas and insights contained within these theories inspired and prepared the ground for more recent developments in the field, including cultural criminology and convict criminology. Critical criminology not only suggests that we make small alterations to criminal justice systems; instead, it requires us to question everything we think we ‘know’ about these systems and the societies and communities in which we live. It questions how and why we control behaviour, looks at power from the perspective of the oppressed or the powerless, and suggests alternative narratives that should be part of our accepted knowledge base.

Meningkatkan Keaktifan Anak Autis Dalam Mengikuti Kegiatan Melalui Terapi Behavioral Di Wisma Halimun

The term autism comes from the word “ auto” which means “ yourself ” while ” ism ” means “ a stream “if you join it means that an understanding is interested in myself. So, autism is a child who is interested in his world / aloof. The factor that causes autism 8 – 11 % of children with are genetic, but it is also caused by genetics and viruses. Behaviourism is a scientific view of human behaviour. It is orderly behaviour and carefully controlled experiments will reveal the laws that control behaviour. Every individual has the same positive and negative tendencies. The behavioristic theory is a theory that applies the principle of strengthening stimulus and response. This study aims to describe the three less active children participating in behaviour therapy activities at the Halimun Paulus underworld. This study used a quantitative experimental research design. Based on the results of the study with the methods used by pretest and posttest design for 5 subsidiaries of children’s activeness, the following results are obtained: the first subject AF from the pretest got a score of 56,6 and the posttest got a value of 72,2, then an increase of 15,6. And the second subject FG from the pre-test got a value of 52, and the post-test got a value of 65, then it has increased in value by 13. While the third subject of the KF from the pre-test received a value of 53,2, and the test post received a value of 68,2, a 15 increase. So seen from the three subjects which experienced the highest increase in AF 15,6 and second-order KF had an increase of 15, and the third had an increase of 13.

ENSO asymmetry: the search for extreme El Niño events in HadGEM

<p>Analysis of a long control run of the Hadley Centre coupled model shows that ENSO asymmetry is weak. We use the same model in our seasonal and decadal prediction systems, and while on seasonal timescales the initialised prediction realistically captures the amplitude of extreme El Niño events, on longer timescales the predictions revert to the control behaviour i.e. there are no very large El Niño events. This may impact on our ability evaluate the risk of extreme regional events. Here we show results exploring asymmetry in both the control model, and also from a number of perturbed parameter experiments, each a plausible realisation of the control.</p>

The prefrontal cortex

The prefrontal cortex receives perceptual information from the temporal and parietal cortices, and is in a position to perform ‘off-line’ processing, including holding items in a short-term memory when the items are no longer present in the input processing streams. This off-line capacity develops into a capability of manipulating and rearranging items in short-term memory, and this is called working memory, which is also implemented in the prefrontal cortex. This ability in humans develops into systems that can plan ahead, and then can control behaviour according to such plans, which is referred to as ‘executive function’. Attractor networks are fundamental to understanding the functions of the prefrontal cortex in short-term and working memory; and in providing the source of the top-down bias in top-down models of attention

Thermo mechanical and Control Behaviour of Copper based Shape Memory Alloy Bimorph Actuator towards the Development of Micro Positioning System

A shape memory alloy (SMA) bimorph actuator is a composite structure composed of flexible polyimide substrate and SMA thin film deposited using thermal evaporation technique. In this work, the substrate thickness in the range of 25 - 75 mm was selected for the development of CuAlNiMn SMA bimorph actuator. An investigation on the control behavior of copper based SMA bimorph towards the development of micro positioning system has been performed. The actuation behavior of the SMA bimorph was studied using electrical actuation. Subsequently, a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller was designed to control the bimorph actuator with proper tuning of gain parameters. The displacement of the bimorph actuator was controlled through dedicated experimental setup consisted of laser displacement sensor, data acquisition system and LabVIEW software. The CuAlNiMn SMA bimorph actuator resulted in a satisfying control performance which can be extended to MEMS applications. A preliminary prototype of the SMA bimorph actuator based micro positioning system has been developed.
