Mengeksplore aljabar awal di sekolah menengah: kombinasi analisis bibliometric dan meta analisis

The aims of this study is to analyze publications on early algebra in middle schools to contribute to the development of related literature. A total of 234 articles on early algebra published in various Scopus databases between 2013 and 2024 were retrieved and analyzed through a bibliometric analysis approach and 19 articles through a Comprehensive Meta Analysis (CMA). The results showed fluctuating trends in research related to early algebra in middle schools. The surge in publications using VOSviewer and RStudio from 2013 to 2024 did not align with a corresponding increase in average citations, contributing to a stagnation in the average citation per year. The noticeable upward trend in the volume of publications on early algebra since the beginning of 2013 indicates a dynamic and evolving research landscape in this field. This consistency suggests a widespread and sustained interest in early algebra research beyond the confines of a single country, further emphasizing its global relevance and significance. Integrating multimedia technology into early algebra instruction significantly enhances student learning outcomes. Moreover, access to technology and enhanced learning resources through technology integration can play a more crucial role in improving the effectiveness of early algebra learning in countries with lower income levels.

Enhancing museum experience through deep learning and multimedia technology

Amidst the swift progression of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the museum sector has witnessed a notable inclination towards its adoption. This manuscript endeavours to amplify the interactive milieu of contemporary museum patrons by amalgamating a deep learning algorithm with multimedia technology. The crux of our investigation is the exploration of an adaptive convolutional neural network (CNN) to enrich the interactive engagement of museum visitors. Initially, we leverage the adaptive CNN for the image recognition chore pertaining to museum artifacts and exhibits, thereby facilitating automatic recognition and categorization. Furthermore, to surmount the constraints of conventional pooling algorithms in image feature extraction, we suggest an adaptive pooling algorithm, grounded in the maximum pooling algorithm paradigm. Subsequently, multimedia algorithms are amalgamated into the interactive apparatus, enabling visitors to immerse in exhibits and avail more profound information and experiences. Through juxtaposition with traditional image processing algorithms, the efficacy of our proposed algorithm within a museum ambiance is assessed. Experimental outcomes evince that our algorithm attains superior accuracy and robustness in artifact identification and classification endeavours. In comparison to alternative algorithms, our methodology furnishes more precise and comprehensive displays and interpretations, accurately discerning and categorizing a myriad of exhibit types. This research unveils innovative notions for the digital metamorphosis and advancement of modern museums. Through the incorporation of avant-garde deep learning algorithms and multimedia technologies, the museum visitor experience is elevated, proffering more enthralling and interactive displays. The elucidations of this manuscript hold substantial merit for the continual evolution and innovation within the museum industry.

The multimodality of Chinese folklore images

This scientific article examines the phenomenon of multimodality based on the material of Chinese folklore images. The object of the research is the images of fictional characters of Chinese folklore works, and the subject is the analysis of images of Chinese folklore works in their multimodal expression in modern adaptations. The purpose of the study is to show how modern discursive practices, characterized by a high degree of multimodality, affect the development of the concept of the image of a folklore work in the recipient's mind. The tasks that were solved within the framework of this study: 1) description of the phenomenon of multimodality in the context of modern multimedia technologies; 2) analysis of image concepts in mobile game, cartoons and TV show; 3) assessment of the influence of multimodality on the peculiarities of the development of image concepts and their perception in the recipient's mind. The methods used are the continuous sampling method for collecting the analyzed material, as well as methods of semantic, contextual and conceptual analysis. The scientific novelty of the work is due to the fact that for the first time are studied the various images of Chinese folklore works in their modern interpretation. As a result of a comprehensive analysis, the following conclusions were drawn: multimodality affects the degree of perception of an image in the recipient's mind in different ways, on the one hand, it leads to a simplification of the understanding of meanings, on the other hand, to a complication of systems for creating these meanings. One of the manifestations of this complication is the existence of a high degree of intertextuality, which can undermine perception of fictional characters, lead to the false assumption of some characters for others. The desire to get closer to the preferences of the modern viewer leads both to a slight difference in the basic features of the concepts, and to their complete opposite, which also affects the process of perception of the image. Nevertheless, despite the significant degree of adaptation of images that cause different user assessments, the social and cultural-historical processes of a dynamically changing world require compliance with the conditions of functioning of modern discursive practices.

Биомедицинские исследования с участием пожилых людей: этические аспекты

Due to the aging of the population and growing proportion of the elderly, medicine requires a more active and purposeful approach not only to study theoretical aspects of gerontology, but also to search for new drugs designed specifically for this category of the population. Clinical trials in older people are more in demand than ever. However, researchers must ensure that they conduct their studies ethically. Key ethical issues include prevention of discrimination and violations of the autonomy of older people, as well as special requirements for informing and obtaining voluntary informed consent. When preparing voluntary informed consent for older people, especially for those with cognitive decline, special attention should be paid not only to the information itself, but also to the form of its presentation. The documents should be concise, clear and contain all the key information. In addition, the use of modern multimedia technologies can help the subjects make an informed decision about their participation in the study. For patients with cognitive impairment, it is important to adhere to the principle that the higher the risk for the study participants, the more the patient’s cognitive functions and decision-making ability should be preserved. Excluding patients from studies with potential benefit due to age or cognitive impairment is considered unethical and discriminatory. This is taken as an unfair restriction of their access to the achievements of scientific and technological progress in the field of medicine.

Learning by Talking: Using Multimedia to Enhance Science Explanation Development of Neurodivergent Students

Becoming proficient in scientific discourse such as argumentation or developing explanations can be challenging for students, including neurodivergent students (e.g., autistic students, students with learning disabilities, students with ADHD). Students need to practice developing arguments and explanations as well as sharing their conclusions with others; however, these opportunities do not regularly occur. The use of multimedia technology shows promise in being an engaging and effective way to support student learning and discussion of science topics and phenomena. This study investigated the use of a multimedia presentation called Dialogic Instruction for Argumentative Learning in Science (DIALS) in supporting upper-elementary neurodivergent students to provide complete responses to science questions. DIALS provides a structured inquiry investigation to the student in which they learn about a phenomenon through completing scaffolded animated experiments, explicitly learning how to develop an argument and respond to others conclusions, and learning relevant content information to support their argument and explanation development. An adapted alternating treatments design approach was used in this study. The phenomena explored were counterbalanced between three options: DIALS, PowerPoint comparison lessons, or control probe slides. Results from this study show promise in the use of DIALS in enhancing student complete responding to questions and providing quality claims for why they think phenomena occur. Implications for the findings are discussed.

CSS for CVR: A Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle-Based Crowd Simulation System for Non-Playable Character Movement of Campus Virtual Reality

Along with the development of multimedia technology, an overview of the campus environment for prospective new visitors can be visualized through a 3D virtual environment based on virtual reality. A crowd simulation system is needed to provide an overview of the crowds in campus virtual reality (CVR). The simulation helps make it easier for individuals to predict crowds in certain areas virtually. In this study, we propose using the Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle (RVO) method to support the simulation of Non-Playable Character (NPC) crowds in a visualized virtual environment. RVO implements multi-agent navigation by estimating the possibility of moving without communication between agents and being able to perform collision avoidance. The use of RVO in this study aims to contribute to the collision detection development process for each NPC. The application of RVO is carried out in the development of virtual reality by using Unity3D and Blender asset support tools. The results of this study indicate that the RVO method can be applied in multi-agent navigation. These results were confirmed by the success of the NPC as a simulation agent in selecting routes and independently navigating to avoid collisions between agents without the need for communication. In every simulation, collisions will occur within a set of agents due to high density, which causes complex computations. The development of CSS can help every CVR user experience a virtual environment. In addition, each user can experience a more natural experience with the presence of 3D objects and virtual reality with RVO-based CSS. Furthermore, this research material is expected to be developed from various perspectives and themes related to crowd simulation for games and other simulation media.

A Model Based on Fuzzy Neural Networks for Sharing Digital Educational Resources in English

The ineffective digitization of core English course resources, due to limited autonomy, fragmentation, and inadequate management, has prompted the development of digital teacher libraries using multimedia and Internet technologies. Fuzzy neural networks (FNNs), combining fuzzy and neural network controls, have emerged as a promising approach for mathematical modeling. This paper presents an FNN-based model for sharing digital English educational resources and proposes an effective guidance mechanism for sharing digital science education resources. Experimental results show that the FNN outperforms the Apriori algorithm in training sample error by 0.02069 and reduces running time by 0.0034 seconds on average. This indicates the FNN's superior approximation capabilities with appropriate initial fuzzy rules. Consequently, the FNN-based model enhances the value and quality of educational resources, expands the capacity of information resource libraries, and effectively mitigates the creation of low-quality resources.

Research on the Subtitle Translation of The Legend of Sealed Book from the Perspective of Multimodal Discourse Analysis

With the innovation of multimedia technology, a vast array of Chinese films has been rapidly translated and disseminated internationally, significantly enhancing the soft power of Chinese culture. As a quintessential multimodal text, the subtitling of films necessitates an analysis and interpretation of the multimodal discourse within them. The theory of multimodal discourse analysis, which takes multimodal discourse as its subject, provides a scientific analytical framework and practical guidance for the multimodal translation of film subtitles. Therefore, this paper employs the framework of multimodal discourse analysis theory, drawing on Zhang Delu's proposed dimensions of cultural, contextual, content, and expression levels, to conduct an in-depth analysis of the subtitle translation of the film The Legend of Sealed Book. The aim is to offer insights into the practice of film subtitle translation and to further the international dissemination of Chinese culture.

From Traditional to Digital: Children’s Learning of Traditional Chinese Culture Through Festival-Related Storytelling

Multimedia technology is a potentially efficient supplementary storytelling strategy. However, the effectiveness of multimedia storytelling for teaching about traditional festivals is unknown. We compared the effects of traditional storytelling (TST) and multimedia digital storytelling (MDST) on learning achievements, attitudes, and preferences towards studying traditional Chinese festivals. A quasiexperimental intervention (8-week lessons about two festivals) was conducted with experimental and control groups of 58 third graders from Guangdong Province, China. We found MDST increased children’s learning outcomes and preferences towards learning about Chinese festivals. The MDST group showed larger gains in academic performance than the TST group–although they showed similar positive effects, they were more pronounced in the MDST group. Overall, MDST has substantial potential learning benefits, and multimedia digital technology can effectively stimulate students’ interest in learning about Chinese traditions and culture. The implications of using MDST for traditional culture and festival education and future research recommendations are discussed.
