THE DEVELOPMENT OF "MAHIR BERBAHASA" LEARNING APPLICATION FOR BIPA STUDENTS OF IKIP BUDI UTOMO MALANG

This research is intended to develop a web-based learning application “Mahir Berbahasa” to support the learning process of BIPA students at IKIP Budi Utomo. The software used in the development of this application is the Codeigniter and Bootstrap Framework. It is hoped that this application will become a student learning medium that can make it easier for foreign students to continue studying wherever they are. This type of research is R&D development research. The development model used is the development of Borg and Gall. The results of this research development product in the form of "Mahir Berbahasa" learning applications have been tested and have received good ratings from users and validators. The assessment includes aspects of visual appearance, aspects of media relevance, aspects of material organization, aspects of software engineering, aspects of effects for learning strategies, and aspects of language. From a value range of 1-5, the user gives a mean value of 4.72, while the validator gives a value of 4.52. Based on this assessment, this learning application is in the category of feasible to use.

Lives and Deaths of Gatsby: A Semantic Reading of a Key Passage in a Powerful Text

In this article, Christine Chollier is dedicated to the question of the interpretation of a key-passage in a text. The material organization of textuality influences the response of the reader, who perceives semantic forms and makes sense of the specific combination of matter and form by actualizing semantic traits and neutralizing others, relying on contexts - internal and external - to validate or invalidate options. The piece of writing under scrutiny relates Gatsby's murder in his swimming-pool. The global context in the novel provides clues to build in and interpret local linguistic features in the light of the elegiac project.

Material Computation for a New Equilibrium in Architecture

Morphogenesis defines the schema of natural material formations as a set of merging self-organized behaviours, rules, relative forces, and limits of materialization that analytically characterize a spatial arrangement within a specific environment for achieving an equilibrium state. However, in architecture, material organization, which acts as a threshold to space, has always been treated as a secondary component in design processes. This attitude has reduced the capability to generate an architecture that is intelligently aware of its functionality and of its environment. Transforming computational models of biological systems into the computational logic of material organization found in architecture would produce an architecture that is a product of full interactions between those material logics and space. This inquiry elaborates a set of biological computational frameworks to cultivate stratified developments of knowledge-based architectural prototypes of complex hybrid-structure material morphologies as contextual schemata

Exon junction complex dependent mRNA localization is linked to centrosome organization during ciliogenesis

Exon junction complexes (EJCs) mark untranslated spliced mRNAs and are crucial for the mRNA lifecycle. An imbalance in EJC dosage alters mouse neural stem cell (mNSC) division and is linked to human neurodevelopmental disorders. In quiescent mNSC and immortalized human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE1) cells, centrioles form a basal body for ciliogenesis. Here, we report that EJCs accumulate at basal bodies of mNSC or RPE1 cells and decline when these cells differentiate or resume growth. A high-throughput smFISH screen identifies two transcripts accumulating at centrosomes in quiescent cells,NINandBICD2. In contrast toBICD2, the localization ofNINtranscripts is EJC-dependent.NINmRNA encodes a core component of centrosomes required for microtubule nucleation and anchoring. We find that EJC down-regulation impairs both pericentriolar material organization and ciliogenesis. An EJC-dependent mRNA trafficking towards centrosome and basal bodies might contribute to proper mNSC division and brain development.

Picturesque of Literature and Literature of Fine Arts in Works of Twice Exceptional Expressionists

The article considers a problem of the arts interaction, which is a characteristic feature of German expressionism. It analyzes works of gifted expressionists, which are fulfilling themselves not only as writers, but as painters too and vice versa. All attention is paid to such figures of expressionism as Oscar Kokoschka, Franz Kafka, Alfred Kubin. The article argues that the power of talent of such artists is so great that self-realization in one of the arts is not enough for them, and therefore they actively use the opportunity to reveal the facets of their giftedness not only verbally, but also visually, alternately changing brushes to pen. Such a synthesis is quite productive because these works are enriched by narrative thematic motifs, genre varieties, a figurative vision of reality, compositional figures of the material organization, etc. It is proved that the expressionists did not follow the modernist concept “Art for the sake of art”, yet for them a human is with his fears, complexes and visions in the center. Thus, the main aim of an artist is using various artistic means to show a sacred inner world where in contrast to the real philistine life a spiritual unity and harmony do exist. In a combination of text, drawing or music, or, like Kokoschka’s light and paint, expressionists try to convey through multimedia the sensual and sacred that arises for them as the purpose of existence.

On using an iterative learning approach

Investigated are possibilities and features of using the iterative approach, when teaching at university. The article reviews and analyzes data of scientific publications and generalized practical experience. It is shown, that the iterative approach naturally follows from modern teaching concept: “self-study — solution — check — correction”. The importance of closing feedback loop and multiple attempts to obtain correct solution in an iterative approach is noted. Considered is change in the role of teacher in the context of the iterative approach; features of self-study by students of educational material, organization of checking correctness of the task, problems of creating necessary motivation for learning and possibility of transition to distance learning. It is shown, that the iterative approach contributes to individualization of teaching, improving degree of understanding of educational material and development of students’ thinking. In addition, the iterative approach facilitates formation of skills and abilities to rationally organize educational activities and self-master knowledge. The conclusion is made about effectiveness of using the iterative approach in university educational process.
