Penerapan Model Problem Based Learning Berbasis Berdiferensiasi berdasarkan Gaya Belajar Peserta didik pada Pelajaran Biologi Materi Ekosistem Kelas X SMA

This study aims to apply the Differentiated Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in Biology learning Ecosystem material by considering students' learning styles. PBL is a learner-centered learning approach and involves students to be active in the process of solving problems through investigation and collaboration between students. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive research method in class X at a high school in Serang City. Data on students' learning styles were collected using observation techniques through questionnaires. The results showed that there was a diversity of student learning styles, with most students identifying visual learning styles. In addition, the application of differentiation-based PBL has a positive impact because it can express potential according to their interests so as to provide a more meaningful learning experience for them.

Research on Factors Affecting Architectural Style - Shaanxi Provincial History Museum as an Example

As the process of globalization continues to intensify, many cultural elements are being integrated. The architectural design styles of more and more cities tend to be similar, and the original architectural design styles of each region are gradually disappearing or being replaced by homogenized buildings. Therefore, the question of how to restore the diversity of architectural styles in a region and create architectural styles reflecting local characteristics based on the actual city has become a common concern in today's architectural world. This paper uses literature analysis, comparison method, and case study method to analyze the influence of natural environment, social culture, economic technology, and ethnicity on architectural style. The Shaanxi Provincial History Museum is also used as a case study to analyze the historical factors reflected in the layout and interior details of the building.

Gender Stereotypes in Female Contemporary Dress Aesthetics

People always follow trends that are preferred by the mass, and stereotypes are generated as the trends spread out. Stereotypical aesthetics is somehow dominating society, because of the so-called norms of clothing and requirements. There are some potential problems with stereotypical aesthetics in females dress codes. The paper discusses the stereotypes of females dress code in the workplace, in daily fashionable wearing, and for different ages. The stereotype can be revealed from the clothes design, the brand concepts, and the emphasis on design. It is found that the stereotypes of female dress codes in the workplace have some negative impacts on the females body and their work. Furthermore, the stereotype of popular fashionable dress codes has been affected by social media and popular brands as well, and the socially moral judgments on females dress codes have contradicted what is prevailing in the real world. Last, the stereotypical impression of females of different ages has limited the creativity and diversity of clothing styles and aesthetics.

THE CULTURE OF EVERYDAY LIFE: TRENDS OF CHANGE

Society is the most dynamic structure of being. Determining the direction of its changes is the way to success in planning and implementing any social initiatives and projects. Everyday life is an area where changes underlie many social changes that determine the dynamics of social development. Identifying trends in the culture of everyday life opens up opportunities for scientific planning of the development of society, improving the quality of life and meeting the needs of individuals, that underlines the main relevance of the study. The main purpose of the study is to identify trends in the changing culture of everyday life at the present stage of the development of Russian society. The dialectical method and the system-structural approach allowed us to determine how people's daily communication has changed due to the introduction of information technologies and digitalization into life, how the "visual turn" determines people's interests and their daily contacts, how following the social stratification of Russian society associated with the country's transition to the capitalist path of development, the daily life of people has become diverse. Social groups that differ in the way and style of everyday life have been formed. All of these phenomena have prospects for further development and act as major trends in changing the culture of everyday life, and the scientific novelty and value of the study consists in their identification, analysis and a systematization. The practical significance of this article is seen in the use of its results in the context of the organization of both everyday events and in the planning of further transformations of Russian society, taking into account the changes occurring in the culture of everyday life: digitalization, visualization, the formation of diverse styles of behavior and lifestyles. The use of a historical approach and the reliance on sociological material from VTSIOM made it possible to show that the newly emerged trends exist on a par with the cultural traditions of Russians, with their interest in reading, visiting theaters, exhibitions, museums, which also constitute an important part of their lives. Thus, innovations in the culture of everyday life are combined with traditions of everyday life-such a conclusion derives from this study.

Structural Styles of Thrust Zones of the Urals and Pay-Khoi Foredeep

The article presents an interpretation of geophysical data characterizing the structure of the frontal fold and thrust zones of the Urals and Pay-Khoi, which show the diversity of structural styles of deformations in the study region. The following structural styles of deformations are considered: classical-style thrust zones, which are in-sequence thin-skinned imbrication systems (i); areas of distribution of wedge-shaped allochthons, composed of duplex tectonic plates that are not reflected in the sub-surface layers (ii); inversion zones where faults associated with Ural rifting are transformed into thrust faults (iii); areas whose structure is determined by the deformation of salt diapirs and extrusion of salt (iv); zone, tectonic thickening of the Precambrian complexes overlain by the Paleozoic cover (v). Interpretation of historical and new data on the structure of fold belts makes it possible to significantly update understanding of the structure and development of areas such as zones of wedge-shaped thrusts, areas of development of squeezed salt diapirs, and areas where reactivation and tectonic thickening of Precambrian complexes occurred due to the reactivation of pre-existing faults. New seismic data provided constraints on the magnitude of horizontal displacements in the thrust zones as well as timing of shortening. For the first time they have revealed the development of arrays of small-scale protothrusts.

William Falconer and the Rhetoric of the Sea

This essay explores how William Falconer's A Universal Dictionary of the Marine exemplifies the “rhetoric of the sea,” which operates according to an inclusive approach to maritime knowledge, which maritime authors adopted in an effort to translate into writing a unique, physical practice at sea. Since maritime practice involved diverse processes in an environment that could not be controlled, maritime and navigation books thereby contained diverse styles and forms, from poetry, to criticism, to illustrations, to definitions, in an effort to reflect the diversity, and experience, of the sea itself. This essay places Falconer's Dictionary (1769) into a longer history of maritime and navigation books, especially dictionaries, including John Smith's Seaman's Grammar and Dictionary (1626), and the development of specialized dictionaries in English. Building on developments in “blue ecocriticism,” this essay concludes by suggesting that the eighteenth-century rhetoric of the sea provides us an understanding of the semantic and physical power of the world's oceans.

Policy-taking styles: a typology and an empirical application to anti-Covid policies

ABSTRACT Several studies have investigated the variety of governance strategies adopted by European countries to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. Some nations relied on a more liberal approach, based on recommendations and a lack of mandatory constraints; others trusted more top-down regulations and long-lasting restrictions. The feasibility and success of the different strategies also depend on the way in which policy-takers react. The article uses this exemplary policy case to propose a novel theoretical framework which maps the variety of policy-taking styles applying March and Olsen’s (2006) logics of conditionality and appropriateness. Using mobility data, it then employs the new typology to explore the diverse styles adopted by policy-takers reacting to anti-Covid workplace regulations in 29 European countries. The categories proposed can be applied also in different contexts, especially where policy success crucially depends on countless individual behaviours, and policy-makers need to choose the most effective mix of enforcement tools.

Effects of simultaneous inoculation of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae jiangnan1# on overall quality, flavor compounds, and sensory analysis of huangjiu

Non-Saccharomyces yeast (NSY) co-fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used to produce high-quality fermented alcoholic beverages. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of 24 NSY strains belonging to 13 different genera co-fermentation with S. cerevisiae jiangnan1# in huangjiu brewing. Different fermentation trials were set up and the effects on huangjiu fermentation were also analyzed. Results indicated that simultaneous inoculation could realize the application of NSY, while the appropriate proportion of S. cerevisiae and NSY (1:1 or 1:10) showed differential effects. Finally, three types of NSY strains (Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Non-Sc11, Kloeckera apiculata Non-Sc17, and Candida tropicalis Non-Sc21) with high ethanol content (>16% vol), moderate concentration of higher alcohols (<400 mg/L, 14% vol), higher production of esters (P < 0.05), and lower organic acid (P < 0.05) were obtained ultimately. The sensory evaluation demonstrated that using no less than one kind of the three NSY strains in simultaneous fermentation with S. cerevisiae jiangnan1# (1:1) resulted in sensory diversity of new huangjiu styles. In addition, the method for evaluation and application of NSY in co-fermentation with S. cerevisiae jiangnan1# in huangjiu brewing had been established for the first time, which could be directly applied in industrial production of huangjiu.

If you are in, you will understand: A new ‘dress code’ on TikTok is reframing lesbian teens’ safe space

I intend to offer in this article a visualized research of teenager lesbian style on TikTok and a discourse of queer safe spaces in networked contexts. Due to the influence of the queer feminist movement, the social acceptance of queerness has increased in most countries. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning groups are no longer limited by the gay ‘dress code’, which is historically used to protect queer identity from discrimination and violence. During my personal nomadic experience moving from China to the Netherlands, I noticed that it is hard to pick out someone who ‘looks gay’ in the street. The freedom of dressing and self-expression has gradually become universal in western countries. Whereas, without legalized same-sex marriage in mainland China, visibility in style is still a signification of sexuality and a way of communication. Beyond the diversity of style, a new form of lesbian ‘dress code’ on TikTok has triggered me to examine safe spaces for teenagers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fashion industry finds itself in a challenging condition, which is accelerating its digital transformation. An increasing number of fashion labels see potential in TikTok as a new public territory to practise self-exploration for numerous teens. By analysing the visual content and interviewing four TikTok creators, this article addresses the gap between public and insider prejudice around codes of dressing. It proposes not only to rethink the relation between fashion and identity but also to ruminate on queer safe space through researching ways of dressing.

Constraints in the Utilization of Map and Globe Media in Geography Learning

Learning media is one component of the learning process used by teachers in the classroom. Students will understand learning more easily when using media compared to not. This study aims to examine the implementation of the use of map and globe media, the obstacles in using map and globe media in geography learning and the solutions to these obstacles. This research is a qualitative research conducted at UPT SMA Negeri 3 Parepare, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data collection techniques, including interviews, observation, and documentation. The data validity was obtained through triangulation of theories, methods, and sources. This study found that the use of map and globe media in geography learning can improve students’ understanding of regionalism, but there are some students who are still constrained in understanding the use of maps and globes. This relates to student learning styles. This obstacle is related to the availability of graphic media, teacher skills in utilizing instructional media, and teacher preparation in understanding each student’s learning style. To get out of these obstacles, a teacher is expected to have skills in choosing the right media and methods by considering the diversity of student learning styles and the learning facilities owned by the school.

Diverse Styles of Lithospheric Dripping: Synthesizing Gravitational Instability Models, Continental Tectonics, and Geologic Observations

AbstractDensity instabilities in the lithosphere can founder gravitationally via viscous dripping and decoupling from overlying crust. The lithospheric dripping concept has been invoked across the globe, but the diversity of crustal effects, observable evidence, and tectonic settings involved in dripping remain underexplored. Here, we synthesize numerical and analogue modeling studies and geologic data from the literature, including all proposed lithospheric dripping events to‐date. We argue that two distinct styles of dripping can occur depending on crustal strength (relative to that of the mantle lithosphere). Near‐surface contraction and subsidence of strong crusts contrasts with near‐surface extension and uplift of weak crusts. We discuss these events in terms of tectonic setting, timing, size, and the main types of data associated with each event. We also find that lithospheric dripping is associated with a distinct suite of geological observations including sedimentological, structural, volcanic, and geophysical data, which can be used to distinguish strong crusts from weak crusts. We find 27 events for which lithospheric dripping is a key hypothesis, including 9 with clear evidence for strong‐crust dripping and 3 with clear evidence of weak‐crust dripping. We review emerging research methods have the potential to detect the signals of dripping in the geologic and geophysical record, and we suggest additional techniques in light of our strong‐crust versus weak‐crust framework. The diverse tectonic settings and inferred consequences of these lithospheric drips, if confirmed, would demand a shift in our understanding of continental geology to emphasize the role of vertical removal of continental lithosphere.

Effect of Differentiated Approach in Inquiry-based Learning on Senior High School Students’ Conceptual Understanding of Work and Energy Topic

This study aims to investigate the effect of the differentiated approach on high school students' conceptual understanding of the work and energy topic. The research method used is a quantitative method. Two classes of 10th graders in one of the Senior High Schools in the Tangerang districts were chosen to be research participants with cluster random sampling. Data collection was done with learning style questionnaire and conceptual understanding item with a reliability 0.73. The experimental class applied Inquiry-based Learning with differentiation, while the control class applied Inquiry-based Learning without differentiation. The results of the different tests of students' conceptual understanding after learning showed a significant difference in the understanding of students' concepts in the two classes. The effect size score showed a large effect of a differentiated approach on students' conceptual understanding. The analysis of the level of students' conceptual understanding for each subtopic showed the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy having the most students at irresponsiveness level, while the subtopics with the highest number of students at the understanding level was the work subtopic. The percentage of students who studied with a differentiated approach at the highest understanding level is more than students without a differentiated approach in all subtopics. Although the application of the differentiated approach had obstacles in online learning, the differentiated approach applied in Inquiry based Learning has a positive impact in facilitating the diversity of student learning styles.

Coexisting Strombolian and Hawaiian activity during the 2018 fissure eruption of Kīlauea – Implications for processes of weak explosions

Mildly explosive eruptions—the most frequent manifestations of subaerial explosive volcanism on Earth—broadly group into two styles: Strombolian and Hawaiian. The former is characterized by sequences of intermittent discrete explosions, and the latter by sustained pyroclastic fountaining. Explosive activity during the 2018 fissure eruption of Kīlauea volcano (Hawaiʻi) provided an exceptional opportunity to record a wide range of Strombolian and Hawaiian behavior. We used high-resolution videography and image processing to quantify the frequency, duration, and steadiness (as seen by fluctuation in maximum clast height) of Hawaiian fountains and Strombolian jets. Combining these data with the currently published understanding of two-phase flow (melt + bubbles), we propose that the diversity in eruptive styles is related to melt viscosity, changing mass flux, and the extent of mechanical coupling versus decoupling of the exsolving volatile phases from the host magma. In particular, we single out the effects of the contrasts in abundance of a sub-population of the largest (meter-scale) bubbles that emerge intermittently and independently through the magma in the vent. The coexistence of these styles—at vents often only meters apart—is a clear indication that the diversity in eruptive behavior is modulated at depths of probably no more than 100 m and perhaps as shallow as tens of meters.

Pore pressure evolution in bed sediment overridden by debris flow: A general formulation

AbstractDebris flows can grow dramatically in volume and mobility as they override bed sediment due to the reduction in bed friction resistance caused by high pore fluid pressure (PP). However, the mechanisms that control PP evolution in overridden bed sediment are still unclear. Here, a new mathematical model clarifies how diverse styles and magnitudes of PP evolution can result from regulation of the flow diffusion and shear contraction of bed sediment. Normalization of the model equations shows that the propensity for PP generation depends on timescales of PP diffusion and deformation of the bed grains. The PP of saturated bed sediment under immobile conditions is equal to the fluid pressure at the bottom of the flow due to a non‐flux basal boundary. However, the PP of unsaturated bed sediment is lower than that of the overlying flow. PP diffusion from a debris flow into an unsaturated bed increases with the bed’s permeability and water content. The shear deformation behavior changes from undrained to drained with increasing permeability or decreasing shear velocity of the saturated bed sediment, leading to a reduced magnitude of pore pressure. By contrast, the shear deformation transitions from drained to undrained behavior with increasing permeability and water content of unsaturated bed sediment. The entrainment rate and erosion pattern of bed sediment are closely related to the PP evolution and liquefaction ratio of the bed sediment due to Coulomb‐friction shear tractions. Our models can be used to interpret the feedback of PP on the flow momentum during debris flow entrainment.

What Are ILK in Relation to Science? Using the ‘Ethic of Equivocation’ to Co-Produce New Knowledge for Conservation

Attention to epistemological relationships between Indigenous and local knowledges (ILK) and conservation science is increasing. Some approaches for doing so have been developed, but in general, serious engagement between ILK and science still feels experimental and does not have broad uptake. Here we address some of the main issues that arise when considering the epistemological relationships between ILK and conservation or ecological science. A key issue is the relationship between ILK and science that sets the expectations for how they may form dialogues, collaborations, or co-production. After reviewing several perspectives on this relationship, and their limitations, we suggest that a focus on shared meanings within an ‘ethic of equivocation’ is a productive path forward. In an ethic of equivocation, neither ILK nor science validates the other, yet meaning can be created. We explain and develop the concepts of meanings and equivocation in the ILK-science context. We, thus, argue for a broad and rich understanding of the joint roles of ILK and science, which goes beyond treating ILK as a data source. We argue that diverse styles of reasoning exist in science, and scientists may already treat observations, models, and collaborations in the ways that we discuss, providing ready-made analogies for thinking about ILK. We also discuss how to avoid abuses of power while engaging with ILK to co-produce new knowledge.

Empowering Sentiment Analysis For Improved Fashion Choices

The world of fashion is dynamic, ever-changing, and deeply influenced by individual preferences and collective sentiment. Making confident and informed fashion choices can be a daunting task, especially in an era marked by rapid trends and diverse styles. The fashion industry is ever-evolving, with trends and styles constantly changing. Making informed fashion choices that align with personal preferences and public sentiment can be challenging. "Empowering Sentiment Analysis for improved fashion choices" presents a novel approach to address this challenge. This abstract introduces a comprehensive framework that harnesses the power of sentiment analysis, a sophisticated natural language processing technique, to provide consumers and fashion enthusiasts with invaluable insights into the realm of fashion. Sentiment analysis, commonly used in understanding public opinions and emotional tones in textual data, is adapted here to decode the fashion landscape. By analyzing textual data from fashion reviews, social media posts, and comments, sentiment analysis can discern public sentiment and opinions about specific clothing items, styles, and trends. The primary objective of this initiative is to empower individuals to make better, more informed fashion choices. Through sentiment analysis, individuals can access an in-depth understanding of the prevailing sentiments and opinions surrounding specific clothing items, styles, and trends. This knowledge equips them with the tools to align their choices with current trends, explore niche styles, or even express their uniqueness confidently. By leveraging the power of machine learning models like Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest , Ada Boosting and Deep Learning algorithms the sentiment classification models are built. Furthermore, this technology fosters inclusivity and diversity in fashion decision-making by highlighting a wide range of sentiments and opinions. It acknowledges that fashion is a highly personal and subjective domain and helps individuals discover styles that resonate with their unique tastes and values.

A Two-Level Rectification Attention Network for Scene Text Recognition

Scene text recognition is a challenging task in the computer vision field due to the diversity of text styles and the complexity of the image backgrounds. In recent decades, numerous text rectification and recognition methods have been proposed to solve these problems. However, most of these methods rectify texts at the geometry level or pixel level. The former is limited by geometric constraints, and the latter is prone to blurring the text. In this paper, we propose a two-level rectification attention network (TRAN) to rectify and recognize texts. This network consists of two parts: a two-level rectification network (TORN) and an attention-based recognition network (ABRN). Specifically, the TORN first rectifies texts at the geometry level and then performs a pixel-level adjustment, which not only eliminates the geometric constraints but also renders clear texts. The ABRN's role is to recognize text in the rectified images. To improve the feature extraction ability of our model, we design a new channel-wise and kernel-wise attention unit, which enables the network to handle significant variations of character size and channel interdependencies. Furthermore, we propose a skip training strategy to make our model converge smoothly. We conduct experiments on various benchmarks, including regular and irregular datasets. The experimental results show that our method achieves a state-of-the-art performance.

Mãe há só muitas: a figura materna nos contos de Lygia Fagundes Telles

The paper analyses the representation of the mother figure in thirteen short stories by Lygia Fagundes Telles, published between 1949 and 2007. Proving her status as a major figure in contemporary Brazilian literature, Lygia poses the question from multiple perspectives, also using a wide diversity of styles and tones. In some of the narratives, more or less common and reasonably peaceful situations are enacted, but there are others that could illustrate a psychiatry or psychoanalysis manual. The set, by the way, provides material that could serve as a basis for a history of contemporary women

Guidelines for creation of a Luk Thung method for trumpet

21st century trumpet players are required to play many diverse styles of music. One of these unique musical styles, Luk Thung (a Thai traditional music style) is music derived from Thai folk music culture that describes the Thai rural lifestyle, especially in the lyrics. Learning this style is a crucial part of a trumpet player’s chances for career success in Thailand’s musical industry. For trumpet players, performing Luk Thung music requires fundamental trumpet techniques. Because of the need for training trumpet players in this unique Thai musical style, this research aims to generate the guidelines for a trumpet method design based on Luk Thung music through the study of three categories: (1) fundamental trumpet techniques appearing in Thai Luk Thung music; (2) comparison of fundamental technique approaches between Western pedagogical methods for trumpet and Luk Thung music; and (3) the possibility of using Thai Luk Thung music to develop fundamental trumpet techniques for trumpet players. The purposeful sampling includes official recordings of Thai Luk Thung songs, four major method books for trumpet and in-depth interviews used for collecting data, and analysis. The findings were discussed and presented as the guidelines to design a trumpet method including purpose of the method design, structure of the method, and scope of contents. The generated guidelines will help trumpet players, music teachers or trumpet educators to design their own trumpet methods based on Thai Luk Thung music that suits their needs.
