Implementasi Aplikasi Duolingo Dalam Meningkatkan Kosakata Bahasa Inggris Pada Siswa SMPN 19 Mataram

The objective of this research is to enhance English language proficiency, with a particular emphasis on vocabulary, through the utilization of the Duolingo application. This application is a gamification application, which means that users can learn English using visual and auditory methods, much like playing a game. This quantitative research method employs a pre-experimental design, which includes a pre-test and post-test for a single group. The objective is to determine the effect of the application of Duolingo applications as a means of enhancing the vocabulary knowledge of students in class VII at SMPN 19 Mataram. The investigation included a total of 150 students in classes VII A to E, with each class consisting of students. The sample was class A, which was composed of 30 students who were randomly selected through randomization. The research data is collected by administering a pre-test and post-test to assess the learning results of vocabulary subjects. Normality tests, descriptive statistics, and T tests are employed in data analysis. The study's findings indicated that the average post-test score (70, 18) was higher than the pre-test average score. (30,78). The standard level of significance of 0.05 is used to determine whether the zero hypothesis can be rejected by contrasting the p-value. The p-value is less than 0.05, with a value of 0.000. This implies that the zero hypothesis is unfeasible, and it is inferred that the Duolingo Application is effective in enhancing student vocabulary knowledge. This is attributed to the presence of supportive elements, such as the analysis of initial skills, the attraction of student attention or motivation, and the improvement of English scores.

Effective or symbolic? The influence of board ESG committee on corporate ESG performance

We examine whether and how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) committees in the board of directors contribute to corporate ESG performance. Based on a sample of A-share listed companies in China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from 2010 to 2021, we find that firms with ESG committees are associated with higher corporate ESG performance. We also find that this effect is partly transmitted through the channels of the increase in environmental investment and attraction of investor attention. Further analysis indicates that this association is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs) and polluting industries. Our findings imply that institutional arrangements and designs to enhance corporate ESG performance through board governance are effective rather than symbolic.

ON THE FEASIBILITY OF TEACHING LIGHTING ENGINEERING FOR SPECIALISTS IN CIVIL SECURITY

Statement of the problem. The article analyzes the state of lighting of industrial premises, which plays an important role in preventing occupational injuries. The issues of energy saving and energy efficiency are considered, which are even more important for Ukraine today than ever. It is shown that the maximum potential for energy savings can be achieved by increasing the rate of production of the most advanced types of lamps, cessation of production of morally and technically obsolete types of lighting fixtures, as well as due to the banal attraction of public attention to the use of new and economic light sources. It is also shown that important obstacles to the innovative development of domestic lighting companies are the problems of technical re-equipment of production, imperfection of traditional approaches, methodological and organizational skills of innovation, as well as technical factors such as depreciation of fixed assets, lack of methodological support for technical re-equipment. The main tasks that will help solve the problems of irrational use of electricity are presented. Objective. Providing fundamental training of highly qualified personnel who would acquire deep knowledge to perform professional tasks and responsibilities of an innovative nature in the field of lighting, selection, design and calculation of lighting of industrial premises and knowledge in the field of safety when using a particular type of lighting fixtures in different types of premises. Conclusion. When studying the issues related to the selection of certain lighting fixtures for production, you need to know the basic requirements for industrial lighting. As for safety in use, you need to know that industrial lighting fixtures on LEDs are provided with efficient heat dissipation systems, which makes them fireproof.

Corporate‐startup partnering: Exploring attention dynamics and relational outcomes in asymmetric settings

AbstractResearch SummaryStartups that partner concurrently with a large corporation must compete for the latter's attention. We extend the attention‐based view from an intraorganizational to an interorganizational context, exploring how startups differ in the amount of attention they receive, their actions to attract and sustain attention, and the impact of attention dynamics on the relational outcome of the partnership. Our research uncovers two separate contests for attention involving corporate and divisional managers, highlighting the distributed nature of attention. Reflecting these, our findings reveal how startups' responsiveness to the respective cognitive schemas and corresponding stimuli of corporate and divisional managers is critical to understanding their distinct relational trajectories and disparate outcomes. Our focus on attention is complementary to the focus on trust that has hitherto dominated research on relational dynamics.Managerial SummaryStartups partner with large corporations to access needed complementary resources. However, truly benefiting from such partnerships is challenging and requires them to attract as well as sustain the latter's attention. Our study reveals two contests for attention: one with corporate managers tasked with running a startup partnering initiative and the other with divisional managers in business units with whom actual commercial joint activity is forged. These two sets of managers have different priorities (schemas) that result in differences in the nature and amount of attention they pay to startups' actions (stimuli). Startups seeking corporate partnerships would do well to recognize this heterogeneity within large corporations and accordingly manage the attention–attraction process through suitable partner‐centric behaviors. On their part, large corporations need to be aware of and sensitive to the challenges such disparate schema of corporate and divisional managers pose for successful partnering outcomes as the relationship transitions from the early to later stages.

Self‐compassion facilitates responsiveness to existential threat: A brief report

AbstractTerror management theory posits that validation of worldview and self‐esteem are primary defense mechanisms in keeping mortal concerns at bay, although potentially leading to the devaluation of others. Self‐compassion is considered a more inclusive defense mechanism. Drawing on preliminary research, we extended a previous investigation regarding the buffering role of self‐compassion within the Terror management theory paradigm. We embedded within a dot‐probe task a continuous death priming together with abstract and concrete threat images. We confirmed among 126 university students that following death priming, self‐compassion facilitated attentional attraction toward concrete threat and avoidance of abstract threat. These findings demonstrate the contribution of self‐compassion in coping simultaneously with different types of attentional threat and has potential to spawn future innovative research.

High-Altitude Hypoxia Exposure Induces Iron Overload and Ferroptosis in Adipose Tissue.

High altitude (HA) has become one of the most challenging environments featuring hypobaric hypoxia, which seriously threatens public health, hence its gradual attraction of public attention over the past decade. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of HA hypoxia on iron levels, redox state, inflammation, and ferroptosis in adipose tissue. Here, 40 mice were randomly divided into two groups: the sea-level group and HA hypoxia group (altitude of 5000 m, treatment for 4 weeks). Total iron contents, ferrous iron contents, ROS generation, lipid peroxidation, the oxidative enzyme system, proinflammatory factor secretion, and ferroptosis-related biomarkers were examined, respectively. According to the results, HA exposure increases total iron and ferrous iron levels in both WAT and BAT. Meanwhile, ROS release, MDA, 4-HNE elevation, GSH depletion, as well as the decrease in SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px activities further evidenced a phenotype of redox imbalance in adipose tissue during HA exposure. Additionally, the secretion of inflammatory factors was also significantly enhanced in HA mice. Moreover, the remarkably changed expression of ferroptosis-related markers suggested that HA exposure increased ferroptosis sensitivity in adipose tissue. Overall, this study reveals that HA exposure is capable of inducing adipose tissue redox imbalance, inflammatory response, and ferroptosis, driven in part by changes in iron overload, which is expected to provide novel preventive targets for HA-related illness.

Different attentional focus sizes modulate the size-eccentricity effect.

The size-eccentricity effect is a perceptual distortion phenomenon in which a peripherally located object is perceived to be smaller than a centrally located object. Although the increase in apparent object size caused by attention has been documented, little is known about the effect of different sizes of attentional focus on object appearance. The present study investigated how different sizes of attentional focus affect the size-eccentricity effect using a spatial pre-cueing paradigm. Additionally, we examined the influence of different task types on size perception. A peripheral object following a small attentional focus appeared larger, without observation of the size-eccentricity effect. In contrast, a peripheral object appeared smaller following a large attentional focus in both larger and smaller judgement tasks. These results suggest that the relative size of the attentional focus has opposite effects on the perception of object size, independent of task type. Furthermore, in addition to the structural properties of the retina and the locus of attention, the size of attentional focus determines the extent to which an object appears smaller in the periphery. The present study complements the attentional attraction field model of the size and density of population receptive fields in V1 and further explains how the effect of attention is restricted by retinal structure.

It's a Different World: A Dialog on the Attention-Based View in a Post-Chandlerian World

In this Dialog, seven scholars consider the theoretical implications and research opportunities a changing environment presents for the Attention-Based View (ABV). With its roots in the 1950s Carnegie School, ABV is expanding and evolving in ways that accommodate the changes in the corporate context characterized by distributed, porous structures of organizational networks such as ecosystems and platforms. The authors emphasize a shift toward a more dynamic orientation of this research, one that addresses the challenges of sustaining coherent attention and sensemaking, a shift from quantity to quality of attention, and how corporate communications ranging from formalized strategy presentations to less formal social media communications can spin attention in ways that lead to intended as well as unintended outcomes. Emerging organizational trends open up radically different perspectives on attention: today's superstar firms draw new kinds of attention and many new business models are based upon the attraction and selling of customer attention.

Urban water governance as policy boosterism: Seoul’s legitimation at the local and global scale

While cities gain international momentum, they increasingly connect to innovate and learn from each other. The attraction of attention and resources lies beneath the economic reasons that drive most of the international entrepreneurship of city governments. In parallel to common market-based strategies, cities also harness their key internal policies as value-added elements to share among peers in order to enhance their transnational reputation. Contrary to business-friendly initiatives that are embedded in an economic rationality, this second type of transnational entrepreneurship revolves around the perceived reputation of local policy-making actors in their own right. By establishing an interdisciplinary dialogue between urban geography and international studies, this article proposes the international promotion of Seoul’s water management policy as an empirical case of policy boosterism, unearthing a social practice of legitimation enacted by the city government of Seoul that is simultaneously local and global.

Neumorphic or flat? Impact of icon depth on user attention and visual search efficiency

In this research, we examined the impact of icons' depth on user attention and search efficiency during icon recognition. First, 61 participants were asked to view an image composed of flat (2D) and neumorphic (3D) icons arranged in a circle, with their eye movements monitored by an eye tracker. Each participant was asked to watch the pictures carefully then complete four search tasks under the following four conditions (with suitable prompts) while viewing them: selecting a target 2D icon from among 2D icons, selecting a target 3D icon from among 3D icons, selecting a target 2D icon from among mixed 2D and 3D icons, and selecting a target 3D icon from among mixed 2D and 3D icons. The results indicated that 3D icons performed better in terms of attention distribution and attention attraction than 2D icons. There were no significant differences in terms of search time or accuracy between selecting a target 2D icon from among 2D icons and selecting a target 3D icon from among 3D icons, selecting a target 2D icon from among mixed 2D and 3D icons, and selecting a target 3D icon from among mixed 2D and 3D icons. The findings have practical significance for icon design and can provide guidance for designers, prompting them to either use 2D or 3D icons to achieve intentional visual and cognitive effects.

Parallel Advantage: Further Evidence for Bottom-up Saliency Computation by Human Primary Visual Cortex.

Finding a target among uniformly oriented non-targets is typically faster when this target is perpendicular, rather than parallel, to the non-targets. The V1 Saliency Hypothesis (V1SH), that neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) signal saliency for exogenous attentional attraction, predicts exactly the opposite in a special case: each target or non-target comprises two equally sized disks displaced from each other by 1.2 disk diameters center-to-center along a line defining its orientation. A target has two white or two black disks. Each non-target has one white disk and one black disk, and thus, unlike the target, activates V1 neurons less when its orientation is parallel rather than perpendicular to the neurons’ preferred orientations. When the target is parallel, rather than perpendicular, to the uniformly oriented non-targets, the target’s evoked V1 response escapes V1’s iso-orientation surround suppression, making the target more salient. I present behavioral observations confirming this prediction.

Emotional processing of sadness and disgust evoked by disaster scenes.

ObjectiveDisaster scenes produce long‐term negative feelings in those who experience them. Previous studies have focused on mitigating disaster impacts through directed forgetting or conscious suppression. However, the initial emotional processing of disaster scenes is not fully understood, hindering the comprehension of long‐term disaster impacts. This study aims to investigate how pictures of disaster scenes evoking disgust and sadness are processed via cortical electrical activity.MethodsPictures of grief and mutilation from disasters were used to evoke sadness and disgust, respectively. Event‐related desynchronization (ERD) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) were used to quantify the intensity and time‐course of emotional processing.ResultsThe information processing of emotional pictures was stronger than neutral pictures, represented by greater declines of alpha ERD. In the posterior ERP components of N1 and EPN, amplitudes for emotional pictures were larger than those for neutral pictures, which reflected the effects of arousal on visual perception. In the anterior ERP components of P2, P3, and LPP, disgust pictures showed higher attention attraction and enhanced encoding memory processing.ConclusionsDisgust disaster scenarios induced long‐term prominent LPP, which may correspond with the long‐term negative impacts of the disaster.
