Cultivating Digital Classrooms: Exploring Pakistani ESL Teachers’ ICT Knowledge and Attitudes towards ICT at the Graduate Level

This empirical study aimed to investigate Pakistani ESL teachers' knowledge and their attitudes towards information and communication technology (ICT) integration in language classes. This study was descriptive and exploratory in nature. Mixed method of research was used to guarantee triangulation, including questionnaire and a semi-structured, face-to-face interview. Cronbach’s alpha (?) was implemented to check the reliability of the questionnaire, and a pilot study was conducted to evaluate the validity of the research questions. The teachers who have been teaching Graduate-level courses were included as the population of research. Data analyzed through SPSS indicated that 78.3% teachers were more comfortable with ICT as compared to traditional teaching methods. According to 71.7% of them, ICT works like a catalyst and speeds up the teaching learning process (TLP) and enhance learners’ level of interest. Their knowledge of technology, however, directly correlates with their positive attitudes towards ICT integration as 56.7% of the participants know internet browsing. Moreover, study suggests that knowledge is a crucial factor effecting ESL teachers’ attitude towards ICT use. Subsequently, they should be given training to promote learning through digital system (LDS).

Knowledge and Sources of Information on COVID-19-Related Misconceptions among Chemistry Undergraduates

Along with the problem of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world also faces a problem with misconceptions. These speculations can worsen the situation and wreak havoc on decisions made by the public. This study investigated the level of knowledge of Chemistry undergraduates on COVID-19-related misconceptions. A total of 153 undergraduates participated in the survey. Analysis revealed that the common misconceptions among undergraduates are the need to disinfect surfaces of food packaging, the transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 virus through the water while swimming, the need for quarantine for live animals imported from countries with a high prevalence of COVID-19 and getting infected through touching a communal bottle of alcohol-based sanitizer. Results also showed that the undergraduates mainly rely on internet browsing as their source of information about the COVID-19 pandemic. There are 3 students who obtained a score of less than 50% of the total points, thereby having poor knowledge regarding COVID-19. On the other hand, 55 students obtained a score between 50% to 75% of the total points, thereby having a moderate level of knowledge regarding COVID-19. Lastly, 95 students obtained a score above 75% of the total points, having good knowledge regarding COVID-19. Additionally, the usual way for students to address the misconceptions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic is by depending on reliable sources and research.

Assessing Burdwan University Library Resources and Services by Postgraduate Students: A Study

The survey highlights that students of university regularly visit libraries to borrow books. Most university libraries have sufficient infrastructure like layout, lighting, ventilation, and clean premises. They have an easily accessible location as well. In university libraries, there is mostly a collection of textbooks but inadequate journals/magazines for students. Moreover, open access to documents and electronic information resources is available only in a few departments. The study reveals that university libraries should improve services, like computers, documents, provision of internet browsing, reprography services, proper display of documents, reading tables, chairs, etc. The major problems identified were, the less number of computers in the library and the internet in libraries, short library hours, and lack of user orientation.

Firefly: A Browser-based Interactive 3D Data Visualization Tool for Millions of Data Points

We present Firefly, a new browser-based interactive tool for visualizing 3D particle data sets. On a typical personal computer, Firefly can simultaneously render and enable real-time interactions with ≳10 million particles, and can interactively explore data sets with billions of particles using the included custom-built octree render engine. Once created, viewing a Firefly visualization requires no installation and is immediately usable in most modern internet browsers simply by visiting a URL. As a result, a Firefly visualization works out-of-the-box on most devices including smartphones and tablets. Firefly is primarily developed for researchers to explore their own data, but can also be useful to communicate results to researchers and/or collaborators and as an effective public outreach tool. Every element of the user interface can be customized and disabled, enabling easy adaptation of the same visualization for different audiences with little additional effort. Creating a new Firefly visualization is simple with the provided Python data preprocessor that translates input data to a Firefly-compatible format and provides helpful methods for hosting instances of Firefly both locally and on the internet. In addition to visualizing the positions of particles, users can visualize vector fields (e.g., velocities) and also filter and color points by scalar fields. We share three examples of Firefly applied to astronomical data sets: (1) the FIRE cosmological zoom-in simulations, (2) the SDSS galaxy catalog, and (3) Gaia Data Release 3. A gallery of additional interactive demos is available at alexbgurvi.ch/Firefly.

FR0089 (reopening). The purpose of a person participating in the auction of Sovereign Debt Instruments is to invest, considering that Government Securities are included in bonds, which is one of the products traded in the capital market as an investment scope. Sovereign Debt Instruments are securities in the form of debt acknowledgments that are guaranteed payment of interest and principal by the Republic of Indonesia according to their validity period, so everything in the object of Government Securities must be accountable by the government, both from the legal aspect and from the economic aspect.
 The research method of this writing uses normative juridical research methods. The approach used in this study uses an analytical descriptive analysis method regarding the security of Government Securities sold at auction in terms of the principle of accountability. The technique of collecting legal materials is carried out through library research and analysis of library materials, as well as internet browsing studies including articles and scientific journals related to this research. After the legal materials have been collected, they are then analyzed using descriptive analytical and critical techniques.
 The Government Securities Auction is conducted using an auction system organized by Bank Indonesia, which is open (open auction), using the multi-price method. Auction winners who submit non-competitive bids will pay according to the weighted average yield of the winning competitive bids. In the application of the principle of accountability, the government must provide certainty and security guarantees for the object of the auction of Government Securities, both juridically and economically. Bearing in mind that Government Securities are part of assets, in which assets there are potential risks in them, which can potentially harm and/or benefit the parties who control the object.

Attention to faces in images is associated with personality and psychopathology.

Humans show a robust tendency to look at faces in images, but also differ consistently in the strength of this attentional preference. Previous research remained inconclusive as to how a stronger face preference may be indicative of an individual's personality or clinical characteristics. Here we investigated face preferences in 120 participants (primarily drawn from a student population) who freely viewed photos in an internet browser showing a person in the context of a visually rich environment while attention was assessed using a cursor-based technique. Participants differed consistently in the strength of their face preference across images. A stronger preference for faces was correlated positively with openness to experience, extraversion, agreeableness and empathizing and was correlated negatively with social anxiety, depression levels and alexithymia. Trait measures were linked through a strong common factor which was additionally correlated with face preference. We conclude that face preferences may be linked to personality traits and to psychopathology but that an attribution to a specific facet of psychopathology may not be warranted. Future research should investigate links between face preferences and personality features in more diverse samples and across differing social situations.

Perilaku Pencarian Informasi Siswa Dalam Memenuhi Kebutuhan Informasi di MAN 2 Deli Serdang


 This study aims to determine information seeking behavior in meeting information needs at MAN 2 Deli Serdang. This study uses qualitative research methods, using a descriptive analysis approach. The findings of this study, students who meet their information needs prioritize visiting the library rather than going to the internet or other libraries. While the information source that students use the most is the third source of information (tertiary source), namely textbooks (textbooks) compared to the first source of information (primary source) and the second source of information (secondary source). Meanwhile, before conducting an information search, namely by looking at and reviewing the syllabus and preparing some of the notes needed in accordance with the theme of the task (starting). After that they determine the subject and use the core reference to link the search for the desired subject (chaining). Behavior when searching for information, they perform searches on collection shelves, OPAC, and the internet (browsing). The last behavior is that after searching for information, they carry out monitoring, extracting, checking, and ending. The obstacle faced by informants when searching on the internet is the lack of information search strategies applied by them, especially in determining the subject. In addition, the information they get is very much (overloaded). While the obstacles faced in the library are that they often do not get the collections they are looking for because the arrangement and placement on the collection shelves is not appropriate, so they look for other collections.

Smart phones surveillance methods

Smart phone surveillance is a sensitive issue, so topical and important, which is about everyday life of all of us, I am talking about the smart phones, small smart phones, these small but powerful computers that everybody use them everyday by doing more internet browsing rather than doing calls. The questions that arise about the security of smart phones are many, for example: may someone watch us? may the government hear what we saying and what messages we send? may they know our location? How much important meta-data is and to what extent it can reveal important information about the subscribers identity and how it relates to privacy and personal data. Finally, it is worth mentioning the participation of mobile phone providers in various government monitoring projects of the citizens either with targeted software which is not detectable, or with the direct access to the Servers of the providers for copying sensitive information without of course the consent of the subscribers. Such projects are the Carnivore, Prism, and other projects, and the countries involved in information exchange programs are behind lists identified as 5 Eyes, 9 Eyes, and 14 Eyes.

Setup of Consumer Wearable Devices for Exposure and Health Monitoring in Population Studies

Wearable sensors, which are often embedded in commercial smartwatches, allow for continuous and non-invasive health measurements and exposure assessments in clinical studies. Nevertheless, the real-life application of these technologies in studies involving a large number of participants for a significant observation period may be hindered by several practical challenges. In this study, we present a modified protocol from a previous intervention study for the mitigation of health effects from desert dust storms. The study involved two distinct population groups: asthmatic children aged 6-11 years and elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Both groups were equipped with a smartwatch for the assessment of physical activity (using a heart rate monitor, pedometer, and accelerometer) and location (using GPS signals to locate individuals in indoor "at home" or outdoor microenvironments). The participants were required to wear the smartwatch equipped with a data collection application on a daily basis, and data were transmitted via a wireless network to a centrally administered data collection platform for the near real-time assessment of compliance. Over a period of 26 months, more than 250 children and 50 patients with AF participated in the aforementioned study. The main technical challenges identified included restricting access to standard smartwatch features, such as gaming, internet browser, camera, and audio recording applications, technical issues, such as loss of GPS signal, especially in indoor environments, and the internal smartwatch settings interfering with the data collection application. The aim of this protocol is to demonstrate how the use of publicly available application lockers and device automation applications made it possible to address most of these challenges in a simple and cost-effective way. In addition, the inclusion of a Wi-Fi received signal strength indicator significantly improved indoor localization and largely minimized GPS signal misclassification. The implementation of these protocols during the roll-out of this intervention study in the spring of 2020 led to significantly improved results in terms of data completeness and data quality.
