경제교육프로그램이 중학생의 친사회적 행동과 진로의식 형성에 미치는 영향

This study was conducted on 56 middle school students located in C City to determine the impact of the economic education program in the school curriculum on cultivating pro-social behavior and forming career awareness. Descriptive statistical analysis, univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) were conducted on the pre- and post-test results regarding behavior and career awareness formation, and the following results were obtained. The satisfaction evaluation of middle school students' economic programs for acquiring basic economic concepts, improving pro-social behavior, and forming career awareness was overall positive. The economic education program aimed at forming middle school students' pro-social behavior and career awareness had a positive impact on the formation of basic economic concepts, pro-social behavior, and career awareness. Lastly, since this study was conducted with a limited number of subjects, there are limitations in generalizing it, so follow-up research is needed to develop and disseminate economic education programs.

Inferiority Complex in Adolescent Users of The Tiktok Application

In today's digital era, the role of social media such as TikTok can influence the formation of adolescent self concepts. If it is not accompanied by a positive attitude, the various content seen can create a stimulus that forms a negative self-concept for adolescents. Inferiority complex is a condition in which individuals cannot compensate for feelings of inferiority so they tend to view their self-concepts negatively and feel powerless to face the environment. This study aims to determine the description of inferiority complex behavior in adolescent users of the TikTok application. This research is a mix method with purposive sampling technique. Quantitative data collection using an inferiority feeling scale. Qualitative data collection using interviews to 6 respondents with low, medium, and high inferiority complex categories. The results of the study describe that the inferiority complex behavior of adolescent users of the TikTok application is related to aspects of social confidence, school abilities, self-regard, physical appearance, and physical abilities. The survey results also found that 8.82% of teenagers using the TikTok application had a low level of inferiority complex; 85.30% at moderate level; and 5.88% at high levels.

This research aims to describe the results of exploratory learning about objects in the form of energy concepts on Para Island. The main research activities are exploring objects (Sun, ocean currents, sea waves, and wind), as well as scientific concepts and processes using the Thematic Exploration Learning in Democratic Interaction (HOTL-DI) type A model. Research at Tatoereng State Middle School Classes VII-VIII from June to July 2021. Exploration activities were carried out in three stages. The first stage is material exploration (objects, concepts, and scientific processes), carried out by the research team facilitated by the Pamong Teacher. The second stage is learning activities regarding energy concepts by class VII-VIII students. The results of the phase II assessment are used as a reference for going directly to the field to conduct exploration. Phase III exploration activities for target groups facilitated by mentors and researchers. The research results showed that at the beginning of the activity, all students experienced difficulties, but later, they developed the initiative to carry out their exploration. The exploration results show the development of the concept in the exploration step. Most students experienced improvement in identifying concepts and constructing a comprehensive network of energy concepts.

Transition to intelligent accounting and reporting concepts. Formation of an intellectual valuation concept

Previously, in one of our publications, we proposed categories of digital concepts for accounting, reporting, analysis and auditing and justified their content. The rapid development of technology that has taken place since that time allowed us to assume that today it is already possible to talk about intellectual concepts in the above areas, including the intellectual concept of valuation in accounting and reporting. These questions are explored in this article. When conducting research, methods such as analysis and synthesis, grouping method, comparison, analogy method, logical approach, systematic approach were used. As a result of the research carried out in this work, proposals were made regarding the formation of an intellectual concept for valuation of accounting objects and reporting elements, as well as intellectual concepts of accounting and reporting in general. The results obtained in this article will be useful to a wide range of readers interested in the development of modern accounting and reporting, including valuation, which can be used in the educational process of higher educational institutions, as well as in the practical work of accounting departments of modern organizations.

Individual entity induced label concept set for classification: An information fusion viewpoint

Formal concept analysis has seldom been employed for classification. This is mainly due to (1) the high time and space complexity of concept lattice construction, and (2) the difficulty of concept lattice based prediction. Inspired by information fusion, this paper introduces a new algorithm named CECS, which constructs a concept set instead of a lattice to ensure efficiency and enable direct classification. Regarding concept set construction, we define sub-formal context by grouping objects with the same label within the labeled formal context. Subsequently, we induce the label concept from the sub-formal context based on each individual entity (object or attribute). In this way, the information intrinsic to each label can be clearly expressed. At the same time, it reduces time consumption. Regarding classification, we define label confidence through fusing object and attribute induced concept sets. Respective calculation does not require additional prediction methods, thus becoming more efficient. Experiments are conducted on fifteen public datasets from UCI and KEEL in comparison with eight classical classification algorithms. Results validate the time complexity analysis, and show competitive classification performance of our algorithm. The source code is available at https://github.com/swpuzeng/cecs.

Flood ecology

Abstract Societal perceptions of river floods are typically negative because of the death and destruction they may cause, although scientists and natural resource managers have long recognized the critical ecological role of floods. Like fire and some other ecological disturbances, river flooding intersects many aspects of ecology and society. But unlike fire, flooding receives relatively little attention in the disturbance ecology literature. We call for more focused recognition of flood ecology as a discipline to help river science better inform societal perceptions through developing a better understanding of the ecological roles of flooding. We contend that the absence of a discipline of flood ecology has constrained progress in our understanding of how rivers function and that a formal conceptualization could help reveal the positive aspects of flooding. Finally, we propose a series of questions that we believe a discipline of flood ecology should address.

Verbal Symbols Support Concrete but Enable Abstract Concept Formation: Evidence From Brain‐Constrained Deep Neural Networks

AbstractConcrete symbols (e.g., sun, run) can be learned in the context of objects and actions, thereby grounding their meaning in the world. However, it is controversial whether a comparable avenue to semantic learning exists for abstract symbols (e.g., democracy). When we simulated the putative brain mechanisms of conceptual/semantic grounding using brain‐constrained deep neural networks, the learning of instances of concrete concepts outside of language contexts led to robust neural circuits generating substantial and prolonged activations. In contrast, the learning of instances of abstract concepts yielded much reduced and only short‐lived activity. Crucially, when conceptual instances were learned in the context of wordforms, circuit activations became robust and long‐lasting for both concrete and abstract meanings. These results indicate that, although the neural correlates of concrete conceptual representations can be built from grounding experiences alone, abstract concept formation at the neurobiological level is enabled by and requires the correlated presence of linguistic forms.

Concepts in Context: Ontological Coherence in Political Science Research

Political methodologists have long sought to develop standards that can guide political scientists in the process of concept formation. Yet, the methodology literature has struggled to provide satisfactory solutions to the fundamental problem of conceptualization: for any given concept, there are a large number of attributes one could postulate as its defining characteristics, and it is unclear how to adjudicate between different possible definitions. We leverage the fact that the theory within which a concept appears places important restrictions on concept formation: conceptualizations entail ontological claims that need to be consistent with those of the theories in which they appear.

Formation and development of the idea of guaranteeing human and civil rights and freedoms in the theoretical and legal heritage of Ukraine

The article is devoted to the analysis of historical development and formation of the ideas of guaranteeing human and civil rights and freedoms in the context of the theoretical and legal heritage of Ukraine. The author examines the key stages of the evolution of legal ideas, from ancient times to the present, noting the influence of different historical periods on the formation of the modern concept of human rights. Knowledge of the historical experience and theoretical foundations of human rights guarantees helps to formulate strategies and policies that can ensure real protection of fundamental rights and freedoms in conditions when they are threatened by external aggression and internal challenges. The article focuses on the importance of developing a natural law concept based on the principles of freedom, equality and justice, which are considered fundamental to understanding human rights. A special place in the analysis is occupied by the study of the Lithuanian Statute, Magdeburg Lawand the role of polemical works in the development of legal consciousness. The authors point to the multifaceted approaches to the study of human rights, their origin, content and relationship with the state, emphasising the importance of democratic regimes in the consolidation and enforcement of rights and freedoms. The conclusions emphasise that the notion of human rights as natural and primary is crucial for the development of Ukrainian political and legal thought, which contributed to the formation of the rule of law and civil society in Ukraine. In the context of post-war reconstruction, the authors emphasise the critical importance of respecting and ensuring human rights and freedoms as a basis for the restoration and development of a democratic society. Democratic regimes that uphold the principles of freedom, equality and justice are key to the effective reconstruction and stabilisation of society. The adoption of international human rights standards and their integration into national policies will be key to successful post-war reconstruction, while laying a solid foundation for Ukraine’s future development.

Automata concepts over game design process

Discrete states linked together by events can describe a series of classical video game scenarios. Therefore, the formal concept of automata seems appropriate for describing such games. However, as simple finite automata need to keep track of past events, they are less appropriate for complex designs. By contrast, push-down automata featuring a stack present better capabilities in this context. This paper discusses an enhanced version of the classic PAC-MAN game with push-down automata. The modular design of this game allows the extraction of discrete states, and its minimalist concept enables various approaches and new versions without sacrificing its original essence. Using push-down automata expanded the game with new features, allowing an enhanced game experience. The automaton controls all aspects of the game, ensuring a consistent gameplay. The presented project demonstrates the capabilities of push-down automata in the gaming industry and their potential in future game development projects.

On Soft Sets and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) as mathematical categorization systems - An Engineering Application

This paper deals with an analysis of the reasoning for the cognitive problem of categorization in systems. Such reasoning requires the construction of a formal model of the system that is performed in 3 steps: cognitive description of the system, extraction of system’s meaningful concepts, and design of the mathematical model based on the concepts. Our goal is to explore the cognitive features and their predominance in some old models of categorization well known in literature. We highlight the relation between Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) model and soft sets and we analyze the notion of "parameter" from the cognitive point of view. Based on this analysis, we propose the notion of double soft sets as a mathematical notion more adequate in the engineering applications. All our study is conducted in the framework of material selection in mechanical engineering.

Neural networks for intelligent multilevel control of artificial and natural objects based on data fusion: A survey

Today the tasks of complex artificial and natural objects control have come to the fore in the majority of subject domains. The efficiency and effectiveness of solving these tasks directly depends of the efficiency and effectiveness of data fusion (DF). Data fusion methods are designed to integrate data from multiple sources and transform it in order to produce more consistent, accurate, and useful information than that provided by any individual data source. Although DF has been extensively studied for a considerable period of time it is still hardly applicable in practice in the processes of the control of the real world objects with complex structure and behavior as the data produced by the objects is, in the majority of cases, heterogeneous, multimodal, and imperfect, has huge volume. To ensure proper response to the changes in the state and behavior of the controlled objects that can be caused by both internal and external influencing factors the data should be processed with high accuracy and with minimum delays. Despite the importance of the tasks of complex objects control till now there are no researches that clarify to what extent the DF problem has been solved from the perspective of its application in the processes of objects control based on the data received from the objects. In the survey we define the requirements to DF in the interests of the control of complex artificial and natural objects, consider the structure of the multilevel process of intelligent object control, identify the neural networks that can be used in the control process for data fusion. Despite the wide capabilities of the existing NN we reveal that they still do not meet all the requirements to DF for complex objects control. Based on the analysis of NN architectures, we define requirements for advanced NN architectures and discuss future research directions. To facilitate our literature analyses, we also perform conceptual exploration of collected papers with lattices of closed itemsets and implications from Formal Concept Analysis and Data Mining used for knowledge processing in similar large-scale studies.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЕСТЕТИЧНОГО ВИХОВАННЯ МОЛОДШИХ ШКОЛЯРІВ У ЗАКЛАДАХ ПОЗАШКІЛЬНОЇ ОСВІТИ УКРАЇНИ КІНЦЯ ХІХ – ПОЧАТКУ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of aesthetic education of primary schoolchildren in out-of-school educational institutions of Ukraine at the end of the 19th ft the beginning of the 20th century. It is emphasized that the issue of aesthetic education of primary schoolchildren is very important in the current conditions of social development, when social contradictions are aggravated, national values and ideals are in the process of disappearing, and immoral behavior is widespread among young people. It is outlined that aesthetic education is aimed at attracting primary schoolchildren to the treasures of spiritual and artistic culture, to the world of moral values through the formation of aesthetic concepts, tastes, ideals. It develops the creative abilities of the individual and is closely connected with the cultural life of the society. It was determined that the Hlukhiv Music (Singing) School, Kharkiv Singing School, the Kamianets-Podilskyi art boarding school for rural children in the 19th century was directly involved in the aesthetic education of children. The significant contribution to the development of the theory and practice of aesthetic education of the Kyiv Regional Pedagogical Society «Prosvita» and teachers’ congresses is established. It is emphasized that at the beginning of the 20th century, the aesthetic education of primary schoolchildren was realized both within specially created out-of-school artistic and aesthetic education institutions (children’s clubs, children’s playgrounds, children’s theaters, libraries, art education centers, art studios, pioneer palaces etc.), and in institutions of social upbringing of children (orphanages, children’s villages, communities, colonies for orphans, semi-boarding schools, day centers, summer colonies).

CHINESE AND EUROPEAN LINGUISTIC TRADITIONS AS WORLDVIEW VARIATIONS

This article explores the differences between European and Chinese cognitive strategies as the basis for the "non-adaptability" of European grammatical categories to the Chinese language and the absence of "grammar" in the Chinese linguistic heritage. The analysis of linguistic elements involved in the formation and nomination of fundamental concepts of ancient and ancient Chinese philosophy identifies two distinct initial models of the world: a matter-oriented model and an energy-oriented model. This is based on the universality of the concept of "model-dependent realism" in relation to cognition. The energy-oriented picture of the world coincides with the unmanifest Principle's incomprehensibility, whereas the matter-oriented model correlates with the human mind's knowledge of the world's laws. The matter-oriented model has given rise to a methodologically reductionist approach to cognition, including language cognition. European grammar was looking for answers to the following questions: "What units exist?", "In what relations are they with each other?" and "What laws describe these relations?". When the studied languages were formed during the implementation of the same initial matter-oriented model of the world, this approach.

On metaphors of mathematics: Between Blumenberg’s nonconceptuality and Grothendieck’s waves

How can metaphors account for the formation of mathematical concepts, for changes in mathematical practices, or for the handling of mathematical problems? Following Hans Blumenberg’s thought, this paper aims to unfold a possible answer to these questions by viewing the metaphorical frameworks accompanying these changes as essential for an understanding of how changes in mathematical practices have been accounted for. I will focus especially on cases in which these changes were caused by encounters with a mathematical object which did not yet have a well-defined concept, but also show that such indeterminacy remains with the mathematical concept even after it is considered ‘well-defined’. As the paper will show, this ‘forefield’ [Vorfeld] of the concept is addressed by Blumenberg’s account of metaphorology on the one hand, and accompanied by his later account of nonconceptuality [Unbegrifflichkeit] on the other hand. While Blumenberg himself did not develop a full-fledged philosophy of mathematics or of mathematical practices, I aim to show that one can nevertheless extract from his writings a unique position concerning the role metaphors play in mathematics. To this end, Blumenberg’s account of nautical and oceanic metaphors and Alexandre Grothendieck’s philosophy of mathematical practice provide fruitful starting points.

PHILOSOPHICAL VALUE OF SUMANGET KA-SUMEDANGAN IN EFFORTS TO DEVELOP STUDENTS' CHARACTER IN SUMEDANG REGENCY

The cultivation of local culture and wisdom is important as an effort to minimize the impact of globalization on elementary school students. Sumanget Ka-Sumedang is one of the cultural heritages in the form of ideas or concepts from the Sumedang regency. This research would to analyze the philosophical value of Sumanget Ka-sumedangan in an effort to instill the character of students in Sumedang Regency. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data collection techniques in this study used interview techniques, observation, literature study, and documentation study. This research employs qualitative data analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that out of the 7 schools examined in the study, one school implemented a program oriented towards the philosophical values of Sumanget Ka-Sumedang comprehensively. Other schools carried out activity programs without being based on Sumanget Ka-Sumedang, although there were still aspects of character value development present. The predominant types of activities chosen for implementation were through habituation and school culture. Philosophically, Sumanget Ka-Sumedang portrays the ideal Sumedang community, where individuals possess traits such as optimism, critical thinking, spiritual integrity, discipline, intelligence, politeness, and patience. Despite its longstanding existence, Sumanget Ka-Sumedang remains relevant to the challenges faced by the community today. The implementation of activity programs in educational units oriented to the philosophical values of Sumanget Ka-Sumedangan is the right way to instill the character of students.

Concept learning, Verbal-Nonverbal Taxonomy: A Study from Engram Theory and Conceptual Atomism

This article focuses on concept learning, exploring the variability of this process in relation to verbal and nonverbal taxonomy. The theories of concept and memory, particularly conceptual atomism and engram theory, are examined, which provide a solid foundation for understanding learning processes and concept formation. A novel definition of "dynamic concept" is elaborated based on these theories. Considering this, an experiment was designed to measure conceptual learning, finding statistically significant differences in learning between verbal and non-verbal concepts. Non-verbal concepts were recalled more extensively than verbal ones, with a significant effect size, consistent with prior research. Demographically, women and men showed similar learning patterns in verbal concepts, but men exhibited highest number of correct answers during the test in non-verbal concepts.
