PENGARUH PROGRAM LITERASI TERHADAP KARAKTER PESERTA DIDIK (STUDI KORELASIONAL DI SMAN 83 JAKARTA)

This research is motivated by the fact that literacy programs can be determined by the characteristics of the students they have. Literacy as understood by Indonesians was originally reading books which were considered boring and only a few enjoyed using them. Seeing lots of texts and thick books is not interesting for the current generation of reading, especially for students. This research aims to find out how much influence the Literacy Program has in shaping the characteristics of students at SMAN 83 Jakarta. The method used in this research uses a quantitative correlation method. Using the Simple Random Sampling method, there were 68 students at SMA Negeri 83 Jakarta, and equipped with data collection techniques, observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation. Meanwhile, the analysis uses the product moment correlation technique. The research results show that if you look at the Product Moment coefficient test, it produces "rxy" or "ro" of 0.50, while "rt" in the table is significant at 5% = 0.235 and at a significance level of 1% = 0.306. Thus it can be seen that "ro" > "rt" is both significant at 5% and 1%. So based on these results the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is accepted or approved and the Null Hypothesis (Ho) is rejected or not approved. Based on this research, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the literacy program in shaping the characteristics of students at SMA Negeri 83 Jakarta.

ChatGPT in Medical Education and Research: A Boon or a Bane?

Science fiction literature and films no longer focus on artificial intelligence. In contrast to all other aspects of life, medical education and clinical patient care have been progressing slowly. Recently, a lot of text from the internet was used to construct and train chatbots, especially ChatGPT. The language model ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, has emerged as a useful resource for medical research and education. It has proven to be a useful tool for researchers, students, and medical professionals because of its capacity to produce human-like answers to challenging medical queries. However, using ChatGPT also has significant drawbacks. The possibility of erroneous or biased information being spread, which could have negative effects on patient care, is one of the key worries. Moreover, the overreliance on technology in medical education could also lead to a decline in critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills. Overall, ChatGPT has the potential to be a boon to medical education and research, but its use must be accompanied by caution and critical evaluation.

Triangulation (Being the record of a discussion of comics theory conducted on 2nd May 2018, transcribed into words and then comics in the period since.)

ABSTRACT Doctors John, Thierry and Paul planned to record a conversation about the comics theories they had explored in the course of pursuing their respective PhDs, to see whether these were consistent – with plans to co-created a ‘verbatim comic’ based on the recordings. To keep things manageable each composed five questions, from which two were chosen to answer, for a strict one minute each – with a little chance for comments, questions and responses after. This was still a lot of text to fit into a comic! Each transcribed the questions asked, and of the comic that follows is a result of the subsequent editing and drawing. Thierry passed away in the months following the recording but his self-drawings are re-used here, and his partner Sharon provided a splash image.

Text classification based on gated recurrent unit combines with support vector machine

As the amount of unstructured text data that humanity produce largely and a lot of texts are grows on the Internet, so the one of the intelligent technique is require processing it and extracting different types of knowledge from it. Gated recurrent unit (GRU) and support vector machine (SVM) have been successfully used to Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems with comparative, remarkable results. GRU networks perform well in sequential learning tasks and overcome the issues of “vanishing and explosion of gradients in standard recurrent neural networks (RNNs) when captureing long-term dependencies. In this paper, we proposed a text classification model based on improved approaches to this norm by presenting a linear support vector machine (SVM) as the replacement of Softmax in the final output layer of a GRU model. Furthermore, the cross-entropy function shall be replaced with a margin-based function. Empirical results present that the proposed GRU-SVM model achieved comparatively better results than the baseline approaches BLSTM-C, DABN.

Implementation of an interactive organ donation education program for Dutch lower-educated students: a process evaluation

BackgroundAs organ donation registration rates remain low, especially among lower-educated people, it is important to support this group in making their registration decision. To prepare lower-educated students in the Netherlands for making a well-informed decision, an interactive educational program was developed. We aim to understand both the (quality of) implementation as well as to contextualize the effects of this program in a lower-educated school setting.MethodsThe process evaluation was part of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial, in which 11 schools for Intermediate Vocational Education throughout the Netherlands participated. Teachers who taught a course on Citizenship delivered three intervention elements (i.e. video fragments and discussion, quizzes with tailored feedback and an exercise filling out a registration form) to their students. Implementation was assessed by interviews with teachers, questionnaires from students, logbooks from teachers and user data from Google Analytics.ResultsThe program was well received and implemented, but on-the-spot adaptations were made by teachers to fit their students better. Within the lower-educated target group, differences between students are high in terms of active participation, reading abilities, knowledge and attention span. The program fit well within their regular teaching activities, but the topic of organ donation is not always prioritized by teachers.ConclusionsWe see opportunities to disseminate the program on a larger scale and reach a group that has been neglected in organ donation education before. Within the program, there are possibilities to increase the effectiveness of the program, such as alternative delivery methods for the elements with a lot of text, the addition of booster sessions and guidelines for teachers to adapt the program to students of different levels within Intermediate Vocational Education. Moreover, in order to have an impact on a national level, strategies need to be employed to reach high numbers of students and, therefore, support on a higher level is needed (both within schools and at policy level).Trial registrationDutch Trial Register, NTR6771.

Need Analysis on Teaching Media to Improve Morphological Awareness on Vocational Higher Students

Morphological awareness (MA) has relation to the language development. By having MA, it can be strong predictor in vocabulary and reading comprehension. Students of Politeknik Kota Malang was still lack of MA. It is because morphology study was not taught explicitly and there was not sufficient material. This study is aimed to investigate the students’ needs on developing teaching media to improve students’ morphological awareness (MA) that suits with their characters. From the result, they need teaching media in the form of game on ICT-based and the activity in the game can be expected for them to enrich the vocabulary and know the meaning of words. The game is also expected to provide them with a lot of texts and to help students in pronouncing the words correctly.

Обрядовый текст и контекст культа Белого старца в культуре монголоязычных народов

Introduction. The article is an overview of hand-written texts of sutras of the White Old Man’s cult. The White Old Man (in Bur. Sagaan Ȕbgen; in Mong. Caγan ebűgen) is one of the most widespread folklore images of Mongolic peoples. There are a lot of texts concerning the White Old Man, some are devoted to the ritual parts of his cult, and others only mention his name. The texts dedicated to the White Old Man serve as a universal symbolic complex which reflects all the basic elements and parameters of the cosmic order, the way or another simulating the world: sky/earth, earth / water, mountain / tree, ancestors / relatives, animals / snakes, four sides of the world. The White Old Man acts as an ancestor — the mediator between nature and man; space and society. A large number of manuscripts clearly demonstrate popularity of the White Old Man in Mongolia, Buryatia, and Kalmykia till nowadays. For further clarification of a mythological basis of the cult the paper considers two texts contained in the Manuscript Fund of St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies (Russian Academy of Sciences), namely: ‘Caγan ebűgen-ű neretű sudur orusibai’ and ‘Caγan ebűgen-ű sudur’. These texts are the most widespread sutra about the White Old Man. The Sutra of The White Old Man (‘Caγan ebűgen-ű neretu sudur orusibai’), also known as a sutra ’capable to pacify and suppress the earth and water‘ (‘Үajar usun-I nomuγadγan daruγulun cidaγki neret ű sudur’), is unique in its pseudo-Buddhist form. For consideration of structures, the paper conducts a comparative analysis of versions of the text in which the constant, standard, repeating elements, or invariant text units, form a basis for their description. According to the text, the White Old Man (Sagaan Ȕbgen) has somewhat various functions, being a patron, a defender and at the same time — a harmful spirit. All this specifies ambivalence of this character but in general characterizes the traditional thinking — to allot spirits with various, sometimes polar functions. To consider the rite of sacrifice to the White Old Man as a whole, the paper clearly focuses on achieving of well-being through appeasing the White Old man, as well as asking for his patronage and help. The action plan of the ceremony (incense burning, milk sprinkling, scattering of food pieces), as well as selection of sacrificial animals and supplying them with special marks — white ribbons — served the same purpose

Julian is a Mermaid by J. Love

Love, Jessica. Julian is a Mermaid. Candlewick Press, 2018.
 Jessica Love’s first book, Julian is a Mermaid, lives up to her last name: it is a book about love. Julian, a young boy, dreams of being a mermaid. He and his abuela (Spanish for grandmother) go swimming every weekend and on the way home, Julian watches women in their mermaid dresses on the subway. He dreams of becoming a mermaid too, and in the end (spoiler), although he worries about his abuela’s reaction to him dressing up as a mermaid, she embraces it and takes him out to what looks like a mermaid parade.
 Love does not give the reader a lot of text, but the book is very easy to follow, and the images draw us in to what Julian is thinking and feeling. The muted colours used by Love for background images allows the focus to be drawn to the story itself and what Julian is both experiencing and imagining. The illustrations show us the feelings of the characters. Love manages to capture subtle body language to portray Julian’s emotions, such as him grabbing his arm in embarrassment when he is caught dressing up like a mermaid. The images remind one of the ocean, drawing us in to look deeper.
 The book reminds us that gender norms can be broken, and that anyone can be a mermaid. It is a hopeful story about love transcending normative ways of being.
 Children will benefit from reading this book as it will remind them that imaginations do not need to be constrained by strictly defined identity roles. Imagining possibilities of identities allows children to feel comfortable exploring identity.

CONTINUING JUBILEE OF THE BOOK: TO THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY FROM THE DAY OF PUBLICATION OF THE ISSUE «NOVOROSSIYA UNIVERSITY IN THE MEMORIES OF CONTEMPORARIES»

The main aim of the article is to honor the memory of the Odessa famous historian, professor of the historical faculty Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University F. O. Samoilov (1947–2015) and to pay respect to him as an author of the well-known collection of memoirs «Novorossiya University in the memories of contemporaries», dedicated to the university during 1865–1920, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary from the day of publication. A collection of contemporaries’ views, on the events at the university witnessed by them, was published in the context of the growing of interest to the memoirs literature, when in the national historical science there has already been a number of positive changes that made scientists turn to the study of the history of everyday life, to include gender concepts in historical research, to increase interest in the person, in the subject of historical action. During the writing of the article about the collection of memoirs F. O. Samoilov, the authors used biographical and bibliographic methods of research. The source-base for the submission of the material was the original printed works that reflects the history of the Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University in the memories, written at that time by the lecturers and former university students, their friends and even relatives. Over the years, the interest in the personal life and mentality of the professors and students continues. For historians of science, everything is important, even small features and details that shed light on the higher education. In the dissemination of information through computer networks, a lot of text that were previously inaccessible: printed outside the country, in an emigrant environment, remained in a handwritten state in a variety of archives etc. and gradually are being released. The authors of the article have continued memoirs literature about Novorossiya University and now offer to expand the list of memories about the university, given in the appendix to the article, annotated with the list of publications, which for objective reasons were not included in the collection of memoirs.

Defiant Memory as Disability Justice: An Interview with Patty Berne of Sins Invalid

Defiant Memory as Disability Justice: An Interview with Patty Berne of Sins Invalid Alison Kopit (bio) Alison Kopit, a cultural worker, interviews Patty Berne, a renowned activist and artistic director of the Bay Area–based performance project Sins Invalid, about her involvement with the group. They focus on a 2015 visual art exhibition and performance called Disability Liberated as a robust example of defiant memory practices. The interview explores Berne’s arts-based resistance work grounded in disability justice, focusing on the process and production of Disability Liberated, which coincided with the release of the book Disability Incarcerated and a corresponding conference that revolved around the incarceration of disabled people.1 The Disability Liberated project exhibited defiant memory practices and recognized state and interpersonal violence against disabled people of color. Featuring the art and stories of several formerly and currently incarcerated artists, Disability Liberated sought to amplify the voices and struggle of incarcerated disabled people and to visibilize stories that had been structurally silenced. Berne begins by introducing herself and contextualizing her work within the landscape of resistance. Berne: I’m a cofounder of Sins Invalid, along with Leroy Moore. My title is the executive and artistic director of Sins Invalid. I locate myself within a long history of resistance, both as a Haitian Japanese woman and as someone who’s participated in justice movements for over thirty years. Kopit: Do you want to tell readers who might be less familiar with disability justice a bit about it and how it departs from other forms of activism? Berne: [Sins Invalid has produced] a lot of text that describes, in robust and beautiful ways, what disability justice is, but at its core, it’s about recognizing and respecting the ways that our bodies live in the world and not complying with cis-hetero-capitalist expectations of how we move and love and work. That generates the principles of recognizing wholeness, of interdependence, of sustainability, and of anticapitalism. What’s ironic is that these ideas are [End Page 415] understood as revolutionary, but really, it’s the truth of our embodied lives. What is revolutionary is the practice of disability justice. In every organization, there would be collective access and we wouldn’t be ashamed of what we need. We would share responsibilities for meeting people’s needs and we’d keep a conscious balance of autonomy and community. Collective liberation necessarily means cross-disability solidarity. Kopit: I’m interested in some of the various ways that Sins Invalid uses disability justice as a framework in resistance work. Would you speak a little to that? Berne: I think even having an organization led by disabled people of color, built by disabled people of color, and for the benefit of disabled people of color is an act of defiance. To have a space where it’s a given that we are beautiful, that we are important, that we are amazing and sexy and powerful, that we can make history and help create a future of justice is defiant. Kopit: I’m curious about your experience working with other activist and art spaces with this approach. What kinds of responses do you receive? Berne: People have been really receptive because of the way that we can model it. We can start with one community at a time. That’s how movements happen. If people are going to be transformed by this practice, it’s going to take time. Disability justice is not just a theoretical ideal; it’s about how we treat each other and how we see each other in community. Kopit: I think you’re hitting on a difficult balance between this immediacy to do things now, because we don’t have infinite time, and also this patience and grace you have to have in going community by community. Berne: There’s a tension there, certainly, but I think that the process we use to reach each other is as important as the numbers. We’ve seen so many people with disabilities sacrificed. Disabled people of color shared the brunt of [Hurricane] Katrina’s violence. Folks who were in nursing homes and were shot with morphine, which was basically euthanasia.2...

Восприятие и интерпретация прозы В. М. Шукшина в иноязычной аудитории (на примере рассказа Боря)

В рамках изучения русского языка как иностранного в учебных планах и программах высших учебных заведений нередко как отдельная дисциплина предусмотрен такой курс, как «Чтение». Проблемы, которые встают перед преподавателем, включающим в свои уроки про­изведения художественной литературы, сформулированы в известной работе Н.В. Кулибиной: «Зачем, что и как читать на уроке». Разумеется, выбор текста и виды работы с ним диктуются уровнем владения языком конкретной аудитории. В группах учащихся, владеющих языком на продвинутом уровне, обычно к прочтению предлагаются неадаптированные тексты. К сожа­лению, в их числе крайне редко оказываются произведения В. Шукшина - в первую очередь, из-за сложности языкового материала: обилие лексем и грамматических конструкций раз­говорного стиля, наличие просторечных элементов затрудняют восприятие смысла текста. Тем не менее, на наш взгляд, среди текстов В. Шукшина есть вполне доступные учащимся, при этом ярко демонстрирующие глубокий философский мир писателя, они смогут обогатить знания студентов и магистрантов о русской литературе и культуре еще одним именем.

PICTOGRAM ON SIGNAGE AS AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Pictograms on signage may convey information or convey regulatory and prohibitory which are easily understood briefly by visitors from any circles. Problems identified is Museum of Lampung does not currently have a pictogram on any signage. Therefore, the design of pictograms on signage for the Museum of Lampung is important to communicate information briefly and effectively. This study use qualitative and quantitative approach. Literature review; observation to three similar museums, interview and questionnaires are conducted to collect data. Three similar objects are compared to get analysis data. The result shows that the pictogram is one of the informative signage elements that are important to clarify the information without having to read the text. This study proposes pictogram on signage for the Museum of Lampung with a visual concept by adopting identity of Lampung i.e. siger and tapis pattern. The aim of this study is to show the importance of using pictograms in graphic communication. It is expected the effective pictogram on signage will be able to communicate the necessary information and easy to understand immediately without using a lot of text.

E-Including the Illiterate

In present-day society, we communicate over the Internet in several media forms. We put videos and images online, listen to music made by famous bands or by our friends, and read and write a lot of text. Never in the history of mankind have we produced more text than at this present moment, so being able to read and write is an important way of taking part in our society. We tend to forget that, even in our educated communities, not all people can read or write and there exist several degrees of literateness. People with reduced cognitive capacities and those migrating from cultures with a different language, or even a completely different writing system, are excluded from fully taking part in written online communication: they are e-excluded.

Tuniit: Mysterious Folk of the Arctic by R. & S. Qitsualik-Tinsley

Qitsualik-Tinsley, Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley. Tuniit: Mysterious Folk of the Arctic. Iqaluit, NU: Inhabit Media, 2014. Print.The Tuniit, also known as the Dorset culture of the Eastern Arctic, were replaced by the Inuit. All that is left of them are stories and a few artefacts. Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley have done an admirable job of telling the story of the Tuniit, mixing traditional lore and scientific fact to create a well-rounded picture of these enigmatic people. The authors’ relaxed and immediate style is refreshing. In spite of the complexity and uncertainty surrounding the Tuniit, their presentation of the information is simple and age-appropriate for the intended upper elementary audience. For example, they tell the reader that one “story even goes so far as to claim that their hunting tools were too big for them, dragging on the ground as they walked!” The authors introduce facts from recent scientific studies with equal simplicity and directness, “…the Tuniit, too, had once been part of a migration coming out of Alaska….In other words, Inuit and Tuniit were distant cousins.”While there is a lot of text and a lot of detail, there are images on almost every page. Sean Bigham’s artwork is excellent. Whether a scary green-skinned qallupiluq or the shaman in the light of the fire, Bigham is able to capture an appropriate mood and sense. He’s done a good job of depicting the Tuniit, incorporating physical features that are known only from legend.Over all this is a good book that fills a gap in Canadian childrens’ literature. Highly recommended for public and school libraries.Highly recommended: 4 stars out of 4Reviewer: Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines. Sandy thinks that sharing books with children is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give.

A biography of Boulez as a music writer

In the period from 1948, the writings of Pierre Boulez were published in several languages and in over forty magazines of art and contemporary music. They were also published in the programmes for concerts Domaine musical, for the performances of Wagner's pieces in Bayreuth, in over sixteen booklets for the editions of the records on "new music", in the forewords for different studies, in five collections printed in several volume-amounting to over a hundred and thirty texts. The number of publications of Boulez articles is, however, almost four times as many as the number of titles, since a lot of texts were published several times and translated into other languages in different magazines or collections. This text follows the chronology and history of the shaping and multiplication of Boulez writings in detail. The sheer size of theoretical work and its diverse trajectories point to the importance of Boulez work as a music writer not only for understanding his work as a composer and a conductor, but also for the whole theoretical climate in the postwar modernist world of art he experienced.

Printing Hofhaimer: A Case Study

The genre of the harmonia (or humanist ode setting) presented printers with particular problems of mise-en-page. Because the settings tended to be quite short, while containing a lot of text, printers had to decide how to present them in a way that was easy to follow. Several different solutions were attempted: choirbook layout in folio, quarto, and octavo, and partbooks in oblong and upright octavo. The Harmoniae poeticae of Paul Hofhaimer were prefaced by a volume of encomia and memorial poetry, a circumstance which influenced the choice of format for the entire collection. The present investigation also examines the process of setting nested polyphonic type, and explains why this kind of type, cheaper than the full-staff type used by printers such as Attaingnant and Formschneider, may have proven attractive to a printer like Petreius, for whom music was only a relatively minor part of his total output.

Research on Personal Education Background Extraction Using Rules

With the explosive growth of Internet information, how to obtain the required information from the vast amounts of text information is becoming an important issue today. Extraction of personal attribute has made considerable progress, including name, sex, place of birth, date of birth, related events, etc. But the extraction of personal education background information does not arouse researcherâ??s enough attention. The attribute of personal education background is very complex in text and involves all kinds of education structures such as primary school, middle school and university. We put forward a new method of extracting personal attributes from texts based on rules. Firstly, rules of personal education background are formulated after analyzing a lot of texts about people. Secondly, the related algorithm is designed to extract personal education background from unstructured texts based on rules. Finally, the experiment is implemented for 100 documents about people. The results show that the average precision of extracting personal education background is 0.898, the average recall is 0.8959, and the average F-measure is 0.8968.
