Manejemen Bimbingan Konseling Kelompok di SMKN 1 Pangandaran

This research aims to find out how group counseling is implemented at SMKN 1 Pangandaran. The subject of this research is the guidance and counseling teacher at SMKN 1 Pangandaran who is the implementer of group guidance and counseling. Data collection was carried out using qualitative methods using observation, interview and documentation techniques. The results of the research show that the routine group guidance carried out at SMKN 1 Pangandaran is only carried out once a year which is carried out in large class group guidance activities to collect and provide information and direction to students who are interested in continuing their education at the tertiary level. This activity has quite an influence on students' interest in continuing their education, which can be seen from the increasing interest in them from the previous year.

Variation in the Flaring Potential of Different Sunspot Groups During Different Phases of Solar Cycles 23 and 24

In this present study, we have analyzed different types of X-ray solar flares (C, M, and X classes) coming out from different classes of sunspot groups (SSGs). The data which we have taken under this study cover the duration of 24 yr from 1996 to 2019. During this, we observed a total of 15015 flares (8417 in SC-23 and 6598 in SC-24) emitted from a total of 33780 active regions (21746 in SC-23 and 12034 in SC-24) with sunspot only. We defined the flaring potential or flare-production potential as the ratio of the total number of flares produced from a particular type of SSG to the total number of the same-class SSGs observed on the solar surface. Here we studied yearly changes in the flaring potential of different McIntosh class groups of sunspots in different phases of SC-23 and 24. In addition, we investigated yearly variations in the potential of producing flares by different SSGs (A, B, C, D, E, F, and H) during different phases (ascending, maximum, descending, and minimum) of SC-23 and 24. These are our findings: (1) D, E, and F SSGs have the potential of producing flares ≥8 times greater than A, B, C and H SSGs; (2) The larger and more complex D, E, and F SSGs produced nearly 80% of flares in SC-23 and 24; (3) The A, B, C and H SSGs, which are smaller and simpler, produced only 20% of flares in SC-23 and 24; (4) The biggest and most complex SSGs of F-class have flaring potential 1.996 and 3.443 per SSG in SC-23 and 24, respectively. (5) The potential for producing flares in each SSG is higher in SC-24 than in SC-23, although SC-24 is a weaker cycle than SC-23. (6) The alterations in the number of flares (C+M+X) show different time profiles than the alterations in sunspot numbers during SC-23 and 24, with several peaks. (7) The SSGs of C, D, E, and H-class have the highest flaring potential in the descending phase of both SC-23 and 24. (8) F-class SSGs have the highest flaring potential in the descending phase of SC-23 but also in the maximum phase of SC-24.

The influence of the personal learning environment (PLE) approach on english speaking ability

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) Approach on English Speaking Ability. The concept of the Personal learning environments (PLE) approach will make learning individuals become a subject. Each person is both a teacher and a student who can decide the direction of the learning. The method used in this research was an experimental method using two class groups. The research instrument used was a written test. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the average score for English speaking skills in the control class is 53.7. Furthermore, in testing the t test hypothesis, a sig of 0.00 was obtained. Based on the conclusion, if the sig (2-tailed) value is <0.05, then there is a significant difference. Meanwhile, the average value of English speaking skills for the experimental class is 80.1. So, it can be concluded that there is an influence.

The Equity of Class Ability Grouping Practices in Australian Education: Findings from a Survey in Western Australia and Queensland

Grouping students into separate classes according to their ‘ability’ is an inequitable practice that does not, overall, improve academic outcomes. Research has continued to show that class ability grouping widens the educational gap between students from disadvantaged and privileged backgrounds. PISA data analysis suggests that class ability grouping continues to be used in Australian schools, at least in Year 10. However, no research has characterized the existing class ability grouping practices being used in secondary schools from Years 7 to 9. The findings reported in this paper add quantitative evidence to the literature, showing that students are experiencing different class ability grouping practices according to their year group, subjects, and locations. An across-state survey about class ability grouping was conducted with respondents from 143 schools providing data about the schools’ class ability grouping practices. The findings reveal variations in how class grouping practices are used by schools in Australia that have been not captured in other research: Class ability grouping was activated differently in different schools, increased as students’ year levels increased, was most prevalent in Maths and English, and was used more extensively in Western Australia than in Queensland. The findings use descriptive statistics to show that students in Australia are experiencing different grouping practices, with discussion of how some practices are more inequitable than others. This raises questions about how the varied forms of class ability grouping that are being employed are contributing to educational inequalities in Australia and how future research can address this problem.

Ltable at the significance level (α) = 0.05 and the number (n) = 60 students is 0.114. This means that the pretest/conventional technique Lcount (0.017) < Ltable (0.114), and the posttest/tutorial technique Lcount (0.000) < Ltable (0.114). It can be concluded that there is a significant influence from the use of video tutorial media via YouTube on the level of skill in learning to draw roses in class VIII SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Medan, North Sumatra.

Curvature of new Kähler metrics on the total space of Griffiths negative vector bundle and quasi-Fuchsian space

We study Kähler metrics on the total space of Griffiths negative holomorphic vector bundles over Kähler manifolds. As an application, we construct mapping class group invariant Kähler metrics on [Formula: see text], the holomorphic tangent bundle of Teichmüller space of a closed surface [Formula: see text]. Consequently,we obtain a new mapping class group invariant Kähler metric on the quasi-Fuchsian space [Formula: see text], which extends the Weil–Petersson metric on the Teichmüller space [Formula: see text]. We also calculate its curvature and prove non-positivity for the curvature along the tautological directions.

The balanced superelliptic mapping class groups are generated by three elements

Abstract The balanced superelliptic mapping class group is the normalizer of the transformation group of the balanced superelliptic covering in the mapping class group of the total surface. We prove that the balanced superelliptic mapping class groups with either one marked point, one boundary component, or no marked points and boundary are generated by three elements. To prove this, we also show that its liftable mapping class groups are also generated by three elements. These generating sets are minimal except for several cases of closed surfaces.

Monodromy Kernels for Strata of Translation Surfaces

Abstract The non-hyperelliptic connected components of the strata of translation surfaces are conjectured to be orbifold classifying spaces for some groups commensurable to some mapping class groups. The topological monodromy map of the non-hyperelliptic components projects naturally to the mapping class group of the underlying punctured surface and is an obvious candidate to test commensurability. In the present article, we prove that for the components $\mathcal {H}(3,1)$ and $\mathcal {H}^{nh}(4)$ in genus 3 the monodromy map fails to demonstrate the conjectured commensurability. In particular, building on the work of Wajnryb, we prove that the kernels of the monodromy maps for $\mathcal {H}(3,1)$ and $\mathcal {H}^{nh}(4)$ are large, as they contain a non-abelian free group of rank $2$.

INTEGRATING NATION’S FOUR STRANDS IN TEACHING LEGAL ENGLISH VOCABULARY TO AROUSE LEARNERS’ INTEREST - AN EMPIRICAL STUDY AT HANOI LAW UNIVERSITY

Contemporary researches on vocabulary acquisition have equipped teachers with countless diverse approaches to motivate their learners to enrich and retain their in-class taught terms. Nonetheless, employing these designed methods into teaching practices has not drawn up many teachers’ attention. In order to facilitate the teachers’ vocabulary teaching, Nation (2007a) introduced a method called The Four Strands. The paper aims to examine whether integrating the Four Stands into Legal English classes will waken students’ enjoyment of Legal English vocabulary learning or not. Therewith, it reveals students’ memorizing capability in legal English terms after a 7-week period. Two batches of juniors at Hanoi Law University in Vietnam were involved in the experimentation: One labelled the treatment group (N=30) and the other marked the control one (N=30). Survey questionnaires were used to figure out students’ awareness of necessity of legal English vocabulary learning and obstacles they faced as well. Besides, pre-test and post-test, and semi-structured interview were also imposed to collect data. The two first instruments illustrated that the experimental group outperformed the control group. Meanwhile, the third one was to measure students’ interest in the treatment group in legal English classes where the Four Strands principle used. The outcomes demonstrated that population in the treatment group showed more delectation in picking up legal English terms and their ability of retaining the words is more excellent than those in the control one, which was witnessed by scores of the two post-tests.

The changing social class structure of London, 2001–2021: Continued professionalisation or asymmetric polarisation?

The changing class structure of cities has been a topic of considerable importance and debate for over a 150 years, since the industrial revolution created a large industrial proletariat in many western cities. But the rise of post-industrial society, the decline of the manufacturing industry, a shrinking industrial working class, and the growth of the professional and managerial class from the 1970s onwards has provoked fresh debate about this, as has the emergence of gentrification in many cities. This paper looks at the changing social class structure of London from 2001 to 2021 using data from the population Census. It shows that the higher professional and managerial class continued its long term growth after a pause in 2001–2011. But the number and proportions of small employers, the self-employed and routine workers have also grown. There is therefore continuing professionalisation but also ‘asymmetric polarisation’. The paper also examines the geography of social class change by borough over the period and shows that while the professional and managerial class grew in all boroughs, suggesting a gradual upward class change across London, it was highest in the most gentrified inner London boroughs. However, the percentage point growth of the self-employed and routine groups was generally higher in the mostly suburban boroughs where professional and managerial class percentage point change growth was smallest (and vice versa) which suggests an intensified social class sorting and divergence across London with the lower class groups growing most rapidly in suburban outer London where housing costs are less.

Torsionfreeness for divisor class groups of toric rings of integral polytopes

In the present paper, we give some sufficient conditions for Cl(k[P]) to be torsionfree, where Cl(k[P]) denote the divisor class group of the toric ring k[P] of an integral polytope P. We prove that Cl(k[P]) is torsionfree if P is compressed, and Cl(k[P]) is torsionfree if P is a (0,1)-polytope which has at most dim⁡P+2 facets. Moreover, we characterize the toric rings of (0,1)-polytopes in the case Cl(k[P])≅Z.

Effectiveness of use of sports and healthy swimming eguipment in increase of physical fitness of girls 17-21 years old

In the course of the study, the peculiarities of physical fitness and changes in indicators of physical performance of young women aged 17-21 under the influence of systematic sports and recreational swimming were studied. The purpose of our study was to assess the effectiveness of using sports and recreational swimming to improve the physical fitness of young women aged 17-21. 38 young women who attend the ZFP groups and health swimming groups of the "Akvarena" pool in Kharkiv took part in the study. The studied women were divided into control (CG, n = 20) and experimental (EG, n = 18) groups. Specialized classes in groups of general physical training and classes in recreational swimming groups were held for nine months, 2-3 times a week, the duration of one class was 45 minutes. The following methods were used during data collection: analysis of literary sources; test method; pedagogical experiment; pedagogical observation; method of mathematical processing of research data. The work presents materials that show that the use of sports and health swimming facilities contributed to the significant optimization of the main indicators of physical fitness of young women who attend sports and health swimming classes (speed, strength, agility, speed and strength abilities), the growth of their aerobic capabilities and level general physical capacity. After the formative experiment, all the indicators used in the study in the women of the experimental group, who were engaged in recreational swimming, were reliable and better than in the young women of the control group, who practiced according to the traditional program for the ZFP groups on land. The obtained results provide grounds for the use of recreational swimming to increase the effectiveness of the process of physical education of young people and young women in particular.

Analisa Kelas Kemampuan Kelompok Tani Di Kabupaten Sijunjung Sumatera Barat

This study aims to assess and analyze the class ability of farmer groups in Sijunjung District, West Sumatra. The research was conducted for three months, from September to November 2022 in farmer groups from 4 sub-districts: Sijunjung sub-districts, IV Nagari sub-districts, Koto VII sub-districts, and Tanjung Gadang sub-districts. The population of this research was all farmer groups in Sijunjung District. Furthermore, samples were randomly selected using the Slovin formula, and 92 samples were assessed using a questionnaire/assessment guide. Then the score of each group was calculated and grouped into four classes of farmer group abilities. The determination of respondents was proportional to the class level of the farmer group, namely beginner, advanced, intermediate, and main classes. Analysis of farmer group ability class referad to the guideline of farmer group class ability (Regulatory chief BPPSDMP : 168/Per/SM.170/J/11/11), namely assessment in planning, organizing, carrying out activities, controlling and reporting, and developing farmer group leadership. The results of calculating scores are grouped into several ability classes, which are then used for developing strategies like coaching, escorting, and mentoring. There ware: 28 farmer groups (30.4%) which were beginner class, 57 groups (62%) of advanced class, and seven groups of farmers (7.6%) were middle class. Mean while, there were no farmer groups in the main class. Regarding planning activities obtained a total score of 38.57; organizing activities of 54.28; the ability to carry out activities 37.52; activity reporting of 5.22; and developing the leadership of 11.51. Among the five aspects, the reporting aspect was the lowest score

Abelian Sandpiles on Sierpiński Gasket Graphs

The aim of the current work is to investigate structural properties of the sandpile group of a special class of self-similar graphs. More precisely, we consider Abelian sandpiles on Sierpiński gasket graphs and, for the choice of normal boundary conditions, we give a characterization of the identity element and a recursive description of the sandpile group. Finally, we consider Abelian sandpile Markov chains on the aforementioned graphs and we improve the existing bounds on the speed of convergence to stationarity.

Учебно-методическое обеспечение кружковой деятельности детей подготовительных групп дошкольных образовательных учреждений и начальных классов школ кластера непрерывного казачьего образования

The article is devoted to the consideration of the educational and methodological support of the circle activities of children of preparatory groups of preschool educational institutions and primary schools of the cluster of continuous Cossack education in the framework of additional education. The additional education expands the possibilities for a child's personal development, awakens creativity and the ability to work on a specific topic in collaboration with a team of peers, with parents and with teachers. The authors emphasize the prospects of additional education at an early age, in kindergarten and in elementary school, which is important for the formation of a child's worldview. Additional education forms a variety of programs, orients children to different types of activities and different directions of search (practical, project, research), as well as various forms of associations, among which we have chosen one of the forms of additional education – a circle of interests related to the study of the history and culture of the Cossacks. The circle activity unites children, contributes to the solution of intellectual and educational as well as subject-practical tasks aimed at the formation of new knowledge and skills on a specific topic - the history and culture of the Cossacks, studied in educational organizations with an ethno-cultural Cossack component. For the successful implementation of educational and pedagogical processes in schools and pre-school children's educational institutions with an ethno-cultural Cossack component, at the request of parents and children, we have developed a Textbook for the alphabet for Little Cossacks and a Teaching manual for teachers on working with the Textbook. In the article we substantiate the possibility of effective use of the proposed methodology for conducting group work with children of preparatory groups of preschool educational institutions and primary school classes with an ethno-cultural Cossack component to form children's interest in the history and culture of the Cossacks, which will contribute to fostering a sense of patriotism, citizenship, respect for the heroes of our motherland as well as for the country's historical and cultural heritage. The authors of the study offer various forms of training within the framework of the circle activities: practical classes in the form of conversations, virtual and real excursions, contests, games.

On the capitulation problem of some pure metacyclic fields of degree 20 II

Let $n$ be a $5^{th}$ power-free natural number and $k_0\,=\,\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_5)$ be the cyclotomic field generated by a primitive $5^{th}$ root of unity $\zeta_5$. Then $k\,=\,\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[5]{n},\zeta_5)$ is a pure metacyclic field of absolute degree $20$. In the case that $k$ possesses a $5$-class group $C_{k,5}$ of type $(5,5)$ and all the classes are ambiguous under the action of $Gal(k/k_0)$, the capitulation of $5$-ideal classes of $k$ in its unramified cyclic quintic extensions is determined.
