Exploring music students' resistance to innovation as a moderator in the relationship between e‐learning adoption and academic performance

AbstractA teaching strategy known as an “e‐learning system” involves the use of electronic technology to encourage and assist learning in a classroom setting. According to the increasing rise in the number of pupils using modern communication technologies, alterations to the e‐learning system are now feasible. The study aims to explore the relationship between e‐learning adoption, attitude, and academic performance in the regulations of students' resistance to innovation from the perspective of Chinese students. Recognizing the mediating impact of e‐learning adoption (ELAD) as well as the regulating function of resistance to innovation (RTI) is crucial for completely comprehending how e‐learning attitude (ELAT) influences music student performance (SP). The objective of this study is to find an association between ELAT and students' performance and to find out the association between ELAD and students' performance. A random sampling technique was utilized quantitatively. Data were collected from 293 music education students in China using a questionnaire method. The study obtained data were analyzed through descriptive statistics using SPSS statistical software. The research was conducted in Chinese music educational institutions in Beijing. PLS‐SEM stands for Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. It's a statistical method used for analyzing relationships between variables. Partial Least Squares (PLS) software is chosen for its versatility in handling complex relationships with small sample sizes. PLS is known for its ability to handle multicollinearity, making it a robust choice for research requiring accurate and stable predictions with limited data. The study analyzes the connection between music student performance and e‐learning attitude. The findings of the study indicate the regulating role of objections to innovation and the mediation effect of e‐learning adoption. The study suggests that a positive attitude toward e‐learning adoption enhances students' work performance. The findings underline the significance of ELAT and ELAD and offer useful policies for improving students' performance.

An evaluative study of the induction policy’s impact on teachers’ performance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

This research aimed to analyse the performance of teachers who have received a professional educational degree versus those who have not, as per the new induction policy introduced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2019. Data were collected from 20 male teachers using the nonparticipant observation technique and ten principals via semi-structured interviews. Participants were selected through convenient sampling from 10 different primary schools in the Dir Upper district. The quantitative data were analysed using the independent sample t-test, while thematic analysis was used for the interviewed data. The findings showed a significant difference in teachers' performance with and without professional degrees for teaching and management skills. However, no significant difference was found in teachers' performance with and without professional degrees for discipline and regularity and interpersonal relations between teachers with and without professional degrees. The study suggests that teachers' performance can be improved by providing them with training in a real classroom environment with a robust monitoring mechanism while ensuring high discipline and regularity in the school. Further, to enhance interpersonal relationships, teachers must be educated on the significance of teamwork, cooperative work within the school, integration of modern information and communication technology (ICT), and interactive and student-centred teaching pedagogies.

High acoustic velocity x-cut lithium niobate sub-terahertz electromechanics

Micromechanical resonators operating above 100 GHz are favorable candidates for quantum physics studies due to their stronger ability to withstand thermal fluctuations, allowing them to remain in the quantum ground state even at kelvin temperatures. Furthermore, electromechanical resonators at sub-terahertz frequencies enable high-speed data transfer in modern communication technologies, making them attractive for communication industries. Recently, sub-terahertz electromechanics has been demonstrated on z-cut thin-film lithium niobate. Yet, the x-cut thin-film lithium niobate is more advantageous for scaling above 100 GHz due to its faster acoustic velocity. Here, we report sub-terahertz electromechanics on x-cut thin-film lithium niobate utilizing the thickness-longitudinal mode. In addition, we study the orientation dependence of these mechanical resonators due to the anisotropy of lithium niobate. We find that devices with a cross section close to the xy plane can be more efficiently excited, in contrast to those near the xz plane. This difference stems from the orientation-dependent nature of the e12 piezoelectric coupling element of the x-cut lithium niobate film. This investigation could assist in optimizing resonator designs by choosing the crystallographic direction that offers the best performance for specific functionalities.

TMPAD: Time-Slot-Based Medium Access Control Protocol to Meet Adaptive Data Requirements for Trusted Nodes in Fog-Enabled Smart Cities

The popularity of fog-enabled smart cities is increasing due to the advantages provided by modern communication and information technologies, which contribute to an improved quality of life. Wireless networks make them more vulnerable when the network is under malicious attacks that cause a collision in the medium. Furthermore, diverse applications of smart cities demand a contention-free medium access control (MAC) protocol to meet adaptive data requirements. In this work, a time-slot-based medium access control protocol to meet adaptive data requirements (TMPAD) for IoT nodes in fog-enabled smart cities is proposed. TMPAD proposes a trust mechanism to differentiate malicious and legitimate data requests. In addition, it accommodates more legitimate data-requesting nodes to transfer their data during a session by applying the technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and 0/1 knapsack algorithm. The performance of TMPAD is compared with well-known techniques such as first come first serve (FCFS), shortest job first (SJF), and longest job first (LJF) in different prospective scenarios. The results show that TMPAD scrutinizes more data-requesting nodes in slot allocation, allowing more data transmission in a session, with better mean trust value, as compared to other algorithms.

Abstract: The widespread adoption of modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in mathematics and science education is gaining momentum worldwide, especially in emerging countries with rapidly increasing digital technology penetration rates. The utilization of Python programming, with its capability to dynamically visualize abstract mathematical concepts, presents a valuable tool for instructors to elucidate calculus principles that were challenging to convey through traditional teaching methods. This research aimed to assess the efficacy of Python-based coding in teaching the fundamentals of calculus to grade Tenth students at a higher secondary school in Mumbai India. The study employed a pre-test and post-test control group quasiexperimental design, with a total of 76 participants (34 in the experimental group and 42 in the control group). The researchers administered Python-based coding instructional units to the experimental group, while the control group received traditional lecture-based instruction. The Calculus Understanding and Teaching Effectiveness (CUTFE) questionnaire was used as both a pre-test and post-test assessment tool. Results revealed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the pre-test. However, a noteworthy disparity emerged in favor of the experimental group in the post-test. Consequently, the study concluded that engaging in coding activities had a substantial impact on students' comprehension of the fundamentals of calculus. This underscores the effectiveness of Python-based coding as a pedagogical tool in enhancing students' understanding of mathematical concepts in the context of calculus education.

Lightweight aramid nanofibers/carbon nanotubes/MnFe2O4 composite aerogel for highly efficient microwave absorption

With the booming development and wide applications of modern communication technology, wearable devices are becoming more and more popular in our life. Meanwhile, the pollution and radiation of electromagnetic wave (EMW) is becoming increasingly prominent and threating to human health, equipment operation and military security. Multi-component regulation and spatial microstructure design of microwave absorption materials is an effective strategy for solving the pollution and radiation of electromagnetic wave. Herein, aramid nanofibers/carbon nanotubes/MnFe2O4 (ACF) composite aerogel were prepared through the combination of freeze-drying technique and hydrothermal method. Impedance matching of aramid nanofibers/carbon nanotubes aerogel is improved by introducing MnFe2O4 particles, inducing to that EMW is more easily incident into aerogel and then attenuated by microwave absorber. In addition, the three-dimensional networks structure of aerogel can enhance the multiple reflection and scattering, and improve the loss capacity of EMW. ACF05 aerogel exhibits a minimum reflection loss of −64.6 dB at 12.0 GHz and broad effective absorption bandwidth of 5.0 GHz under thickness of 2.1 mm. The excellent microwave absorption (MA) performance of ACF aerogel mainly comes from the synergistic effect of three-dimensional networks structure, impedance matching, dielectric loss and magnetic loss.

The Application of Ra'y in Seeking Progressive Sharia Economic Law: The Approach of 'Urf and Maqasid Al-Shari'ah

The era of digitalization and the advancement of modern information and communication technology is currently a challenge for Shari'a economic law experts and legal practitioners to explore, find, and determine legal provisions in various new legal cases. Shariah economic law cases continue to surface indefinitely, while the na al-Qur’an and sunnah are limited in quantity. In order to respond to the dynamics of such conditions, they must seek alternative solutions to methods of extracting and discovering laws by optimizing rational thinking (ra’y).

The trajectory of technological exchanges and modern communication technologies in the context of opening up to the outside world in the late Qing and early Republic of China

Abstract During the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the development of communication technology was closely correlated with societal progress. The social turmoil in the late Qing and early Republican periods, the social situation of “internal and external problems,” and the trend of “coming in” and “going out” of technological exchanges contributed to the introduction of modern communication technology, newspapers and magazines, and the establishment of the telegraph and the telephone. This led to the introduction of modern communication technology, represented by the telegraph and telephone, as well as the rise and establishment of newspapers and magazines. The national telegraph and the May Fourth Movement further enhanced the influence of the telegraph and communication technology on social development. The study analyzes the sources of funds, the number of subscribers, the number of telephone offices, the mileage of lines, the development of governmental telegraphs in each province, and the development of telegraphs in each country. It explores the development trend of communication technology in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, taking into account the interactions between the social conditions of the late Qing Dynasty and the development of telegraphs. Based on the monthly revenue of the telephone bureau, the Beijing Telephone Bureau’s installation fee in 1909 was approximately 1,799 yuan, with the telephone fee and the Electricity Bureau’s appropriation primarily financing its construction. Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Beijing Telephone Bureau extended its telegraph lines and increased the number of users. By 1911, the telegraph lines’ mileage had reached about 99,979 miles, indicating a relatively rapid development. However, the telegraph business remained significantly behind that of other countries.
