Course Review Horay-Based Bamboo Dancing in 21st Century Learning: How Can We Assess Students' Mathematical Creative Thinking?

Education in the 21st-century era can provide students with learning experiences that influence individual growth. This study aimed to determine the effect of integrating the Bamboo Dance learning model and Course Review Horay on students' mathematical creative thinking. The design of this study was quasi-experimental. Data collection instruments were open-ended test questions of mathematical creative thinking. The normality test and the homogeneity test were used as the analysis techniques. The hypothetical testing was performed using one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's method. The results of the analysis showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. As a result of applying the Bamboo Dance learning model integrated with Course Review Horay, the students' mathematical creative thinking was better than the conventional learning model. The Bamboo Dance Model can provide information equally. The Course Review Horay's learning model can make students happy during the learning. This research implies that lecturers can apply BD-CRH as an alternative in improving students' mathematical creative thinking.

LabPipe: an extensible bioinformatics toolkit to manage experimental data and metadata

Background Data handling in clinical bioinformatics is often inadequate. No freely available tools provide straightforward approaches for consistent, flexible metadata collection and linkage of related experimental data generated locally by vendor software. Results To address this problem, we created LabPipe, a flexible toolkit which is driven through a local client that runs alongside vendor software and connects to a light-weight server. The toolkit allows re-usable configurations to be defined for experiment metadata and local data collection, and handles metadata entry and linkage of data. LabPipe was piloted in a multi-site clinical breathomics study. Conclusions LabPipe provided a consistent, controlled approach for handling metadata and experimental data collection, collation and linkage in the exemplar study and was flexible enough to deal effectively with different data handling challenges.

Practical No-Signalling proof Randomness Amplification using Hardy paradoxes and its experimental implementation

Device-Independent (DI) security is the gold standard of quantum cryptography, providing information-theoretic security based on the very laws of nature. In its highest form, security is guaranteed against adversaries limited only by the no-superluminal signalling rule of relativity. The task of randomness amplification, to generate secure fully uniform bits starting from weakly random seeds, is of both cryptographic and foundational interest, being important for the generation of cryptographically secure random numbers as well as bringing deep connections to the existence of free-will. DI no-signalling proof protocols for this fundamental task have thus far relied on esoteric proofs of non-locality termed pseudo-telepathy games, complicated multi-party setups or high-dimensional quantum systems, and have remained out of reach of experimental implementation. In this paper, we construct the first practically relevant no-signalling proof DI protocols for randomness amplification based on the simplest proofs of Bell non-locality and illustrate them with an experimental implementation in a quantum optical setup using polarised photons. Technically, we relate the problem to the vast field of Hardy paradoxes, without which it would be impossible to achieve amplification of arbitrarily weak sources in the simplest Bell non-locality scenario consisting of two parties choosing between two binary inputs. Furthermore, we identify a deep connection between proofs of the celebrated Kochen-Specker theorem and Hardy paradoxes that enables us to construct Hardy paradoxes with the non-zero probability taking any value in (0,1]. Our methods enable us, under the fair-sampling assumption of the experiment, to realize up to 25 bits of randomness in 20 hours of experimental data collection from an initial private source of randomness 0.1 away from uniform.

Testing Walking-Induced Vibration of Floors Using Smartphones Recordings

Smartphone technology is rapidly evolving, adding sensors of growing accuracy and precision. Structural engineers are among customers who indirectly benefit from such technological advances. This paper tests whether accelerometers installed in new generations of smartphones can reach the accuracy of professional accelerometers created for vibration monitoring of civil engineering structures, and how they can be useful. The paper describes an experimental study designed to measure walking-induced vibrations of a slender prefabricated prestressed concrete slab. Both traditional, high-accuracy, accelerometers and those integrated into commercial smartphones were used for experimental data collection. Direct comparison of the recordings yielded two key findings: the accuracy of smartphone accelerometers largely depends on the specific smartphone model, and nevertheless is satisfactory for preliminary modal testing at the very least. Furthermore, the smartphone measured accelerations of the lower back were used successfully to indirectly measure pedestrian walking loads.

Pengaruh Formulasi Kadar Protein dan Kalsium pada MP-ASI Kacang Tunggak dan Beras Merah terhadap Uji Organoleptik pada Ibu Bayi dan Uji Daya Terima pada Bayi

Background: The prevalence of stunting toddlers in Indonesia is still high. The causes of stunting include the low nutritional value of food consumed by infants. Foods that are rich in nutrients include cowpea and brown rice. Objective: to determine the acceptability and protein and calcium content of porridge with the addition of cowpea and rice through organoleptic testing. Method: this type ofresearch is quasi-experimental. Data collection through organoleptic test on the baby’s mother and acceptance test in baby. Addition of cowpea and brown rice are X1 cowpea 100% brown rice 50% and X2 cowpea 50% and brown rice 100% Analysis of organoleptic test data on porridge using Mann Whitney. Results: Statistical test results showed that the use of cowpea and brown rice affected the color of the porridge (p=0.00) and the taste of the porridge (p=0.04). The use of cowpea and brown rice had no effect on the aroma of porridge (p=0.06), texture (p=0.93) and preference level (p=0.94). Results acceptance porridge with formula X2 more acceptable than X1 because have a higher average and less limp. The highest content of pro-tein and calcium in porridge at X1 is 3.29% and 70.40 mg / kg. Conclusion: the use of cowpea and brown rice in MP-ASI baby porridge affected the organoleptic test results in the color category, and he taste of the porridge.Keywords: cowpea, brown rice, weaning food

Penerapan Metode Kauny Quantum Memory dalam Meningkatkan Hafalan dan Pemahaman Siswa Pada Pembelajaran Tahfiz di MI Nurul Qomar Palembang

The problems that occur in Tahfiz learning at MI Nurul Qomar are memorization and students' understanding in the memorization process is still low, so we need a method that allows students to memorize. The purpose of this study was to improve students' memorization and understanding of the Kauny Quantum Memory method in the process of learning to memorize students at MI Nurul Qomar Palembang. This type of research is field research using quantitative research approaches and the design used is quasi-experimental. Data collection is done by oral tests, interviews, observations, and documentation, data analysis using T tests. The findings in this study are that learning Tahfiz in MI Nurul Qomar Palembang by applying the Kauny Quantum Memory method has a significant effect. This is evidenced by the hypothesis test that uses the t test, the value of t_count is obtained = 4.112 while ttable = 2.09. Therefore it can be concluded that t_count> t_table or 4,112> 2.09. Because t_calculate = 4.112 is greater than the price of ttable = 2.09 at a significant level of 5% with degrees of freedom n-2 (22-2 = 20). So H_o which states there is no significant influence with the application of the Kauny Quantum Memory method in improving students 'memorization and understanding in Tahfiz learning at MI Nurul Qomar Palembang is rejected, while H_a which states there is a significant influence with the application of the Kauny Quantum Memory method in improving students' memorization and understanding in Tahfiz learning at MI Nurul Qomar Palembang is accepted. So, the Kauny Quantum Memory learning method can be said as one of the effective learning methods to improve memorization and understanding of the Koran of students at MI Nurul Qomar Palembang.
