Teaching Evolution Using Semester-Long Student Investigations of Adaptation by Natural Selection

Case studies are valuable tools for instruction but are often limited to a single topic and a single class period. Courses such as evolution that synthesize multiple concepts around a common theme, however, can use a single case study type project that extends over the entire semester to develop and link core concepts. A central theme in evolutionary biology is determining if complex biological traits represent adaptations that arose by natural selection. The instructional model presented here engages students in a step-by-step process to answer this question of adaptation for a trait of their choosing. In this process, the instructor first introduces the major concepts required to address adaptation. As each major concept is developed in class, students apply this concept to their particular trait, using information gathered from published studies. Students then report their research back to the class. At the end of the semester, each group synthesizes their evidence into a paper developing an argument as to whether or not their trait fits the criteria of being an adaptation. This project provides students with ownership of course material, gets students to act as practicing scientists, and helps them integrate and apply theoretical material to real questions.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE KUMON METHOD WITH TAPERTIC MEDIA ON STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF THE MULTIPLE CONCEPT OF AN-NAJAH TAKENGON INTEGRATED ISLAMIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Kumon method with tapertis media in understanding the concept of mathematical multiplication. The use of tapertis media aims to make learning more interesting and students can easily accept lessons at school. This study uses a quantitative approach to the type of experimental research. This research was conducted at SD IT An-Najah, Central Aceh District. The population in this study were all students of SD IT An-Najah. The research sample was the fourth grade students of SD IT An-Najah. The results showed that: There was a difference in the average pretest score of the experimental class which was higher than the control class (51.91 &gt; 48.17). There is a difference in the average posttest score for the experimental class which is also higher than the control class (80.64 &gt; 75.52). In addition, the n-gain test results for the experimental class were greater than the control class (0.507 &gt; 0.425). The results of the t test also show that the average of the experimental class is higher than that of the control class (80.64 &gt; 72.52). The results of the t test also showed a significance level of &lt;0.05, namely 0.000 &lt;0.05 and 0.001 &lt;0.05. So it can be concluded that the Kumon method with tapertis media is effective in increasing students' understanding of the multiplication concept at SD IT An-Najah.

Architecture’s Allagmatics

The chapter addresses the topic of architectural intelligence whose sole purpose is to create affordances and make experience ‘stand on its own’, apart from architecture and distinct from the architect. The principles of sensation constitute the principles of composition of an existential niche whose structure reveals the genetic conditions of real experience. The argument is unpacked across three sections by reference to the Simondonian concept of allagmatics defined as the theory of operations. The first section ‘Ticks and Cats’ argues in favour of inserting an interval between the input and output, with the aim of debunking the mechanicist allegiance to linearity and promoting the concept of quasi-causality. In the second section ‘Ducks and Rabbits’ the affordance theory meets contemporary neurosciences to revamp the concept of metastability and plasticity. Its goal is to reframe the subject as the effect of (architectural) affect. The concluding radical empiricist section ‘Zebras and Flies’ revisits the lesson of the Leibnizian Monadology to tie sense to sensibility and matter to manner. The overall ambition of the chapter is to contest the philosophy of representation through the concept of difference and multiplicity.

Modified Cellulose Proton-Exchange Membranes for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells.

A direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is an excellent energy device in which direct conversion of methanol to energy occurs, resulting in a high energy conversion rate. For DMFCs, fluoropolymer copolymers are considered excellent proton-exchange membranes (PEMs). However, the high cost and high methanol permeability of commercial membranes are major obstacles to overcome in achieving higher performance in DMFCs. Novel developments have focused on various reliable materials to decrease costs and enhance DMFC performance. From this perspective, cellulose-based materials have been effectively considered as polymers and additives with multiple concepts to develop PEMs for DMFCs. In this review, we have extensively discussed the advances and utilization of cost-effective cellulose materials (microcrystalline cellulose, nanocrystalline cellulose, cellulose whiskers, cellulose nanofibers, and cellulose acetate) as PEMs for DMFCs. By adding cellulose or cellulose derivatives alone or into the PEM matrix, the performance of DMFCs is attained progressively. To understand the impact of different structures and compositions of cellulose-containing PEMs, they have been classified as functionalized cellulose, grafted cellulose, acid-doped cellulose, cellulose blended with different polymers, and composites with inorganic additives.

Sustainable Urban Last-Mile Logistics: A Systematic Literature Review

Globalisation, urbanisation and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has been raising the demand for logistic activities. This change is affecting the entire supply chain, especially the last-mile step. This step is considered the most expensive and ineffective part of the supply chain and a source of negative economic, environmental and social externalities. This article aims to characterise the sustainable urban last-mile logistics research field through a systematic literature review (N = 102). This wide and holistic review was organised into six thematic clusters that identified the main concepts addressed in the different areas of the last-mile research and the existence of 14 solutions, grouped into three types (vehicular, operational, and organisational solutions). The major findings are that there are no ideal last-mile solutions as their limitations should be further explored by considering the so-called “triple bottom line of sustainability”; the integration and combination of multiple last-mile alternative concepts; or by establishing collaboration schemes that minimise the stakeholders’ conflicting interests.

Does personality categorization affect intergroup attitudes via moderation of personal values and social identity complexity mediation?

Previous research indicated that social categorization increased intergroup attitude. The current study extended research on social categorization by adopting the multiple personality categorization concept to explore whether it would alter intergroup attitudes toward Muslims and Buddhists. Study 1 examined multiple personality category perceptions among Buddhist and Muslim students living in the troubled southern provinces. Participants were 382 Thai Buddhist and Muslims students of mean age 20.15 years (SD = 1.01). They took the multiple personality categorization perception scale on outgroup perceived personality. Study 2 evaluated a mediated social identity complexity and a moderated personal value in association between multiple personality categorization and intergroup attitudes. Participants were 150 Thai Buddhists and Muslim students of mean age 20.31 years (SD = 0.94). They took the scales of multiple personality categorization: short version, intergroup attitudes, social identity complexity, and personal values. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests and SEM were used to test hypotheses. Ten shared traits were identified (creative, smart, objective, talented, generous, kind, curious, resourceful, serious, skeptical) by both groups. This brought up awareness of similarity in shared personalities. Study 2: Multiple personality categorization and personal values were linked positively with intergroup attitudes. Personal values affected the links between multiple personality categorization and intergroup attitudes. However, social identity complexity as a mediator was nonsignificant. Muslim and Buddhist students were stimulated to explore their similarity in personality traits. Educators and policy makers may use the findings on personal values and multiple personality categorization to plan long-term sustainable cooperation between Buddhists and Muslims.

Translating units coordination to units of length and area: a case study of undergraduate interior design students

ABSTRACT This case study investigated the relationship between five undergraduate interior design students’ reasoning with numerical units and reasoning about length and area. The multiplicative concepts frame participants’ coordination of numerical units. Differences were found between participants’ reasoning about length and area, based on their multiplicative concept. Specifically, participants who had constructed more sophisticated multiplicative concept stages fluidly coordinated centimetres within inches on a ruler, and leveraged the coordination of numerical units to represent the relationship between two square units as a ratio. In contrast, participants who had constructed less sophisticated multiplicative concept stages struggled to coordinate centimetres within inches on a ruler, and did not reason about the ratio between two areas. These results contribute by illustrating the ways undergraduates reason about length and area, building on literature related to younger students’ difficulties with length and area, and filling a noted gap about the relationship between numerical units and area.

Концепции универсального времени и множественности времен в понимании существования прошлой реальности

Abstract. The purpose of the article is to identify and determine the dependence of ontological ideas about the existence of past reality on thinking within the framework of competing concepts of universal time and multiplicity of times. The methods of research were the representation, comparison and ontological analysis of various ideas about the essence and nature of time, synthesis and philosophical criticism of the consequences arising from competing concepts of the multiplicity of times and the concept of a single universal time in relation to the definition of ontological characteristics of past reality. The article gives a representation of several versions of the concepts of multiplicity of times, some of which are based on the theory of relativity, others proceed from ontological differences in the processes of various forms of being — being material, spiritual, personal and social. It has been shown that in some cases, in the concepts of multiplicity of times, time itself and the idea of time as a construct of the mind are mistakenly identified, which serves as the reason for the incorrect attribution of time to atypical paradoxical properties, such as inversion — the possibility of its movement to reverse, the uncertainty of the past, present and future, the variability of the past and others. The author gives critical arguments refuting ideas about the possibility of changing the places of events and states of reality in the time relationship “earlier/later,” that is, in the sequence of their appearance and disappearance, as well as incorrect opinions about the possibility of variability of the past under the influence of processes that take place in the present and have to be in the future. The study justifies the idea that a clear and unambiguous distinction between past and present objective reality is impossible from the point of view of ideas about the multiplicity of times and is possible only in the conceptual field of theories, recognizing the unity of the world and using a single scale of universal time common to processes and events, having different ontological characteristics and flowing in arbitrarily distant places of space in different inertial reference systems.

Verifying the Terminology of Arabic Rhetorical Tradition: The Case of ʾIltifāt

The terminology of Arabic Balāgha suffers various problems, such as having multiple terms that refer to one concept and multiple concepts that have one term. These problems cause vagueness and misunderstandings in many modern and contemporary studies. This article aims to decrease the possibility of both ambiguity and misunderstanding by suggesting a comprehensive methodology to verify Arabic rhetorical terminology. This methodology consists of two procedures: (1) identifying and analyzing the various concepts that a one-term refers to, and (2) identifying and analyzing the different terms that refer to one concept. These procedures are applied to the term ʾiltifāt and the concept of 'shifting among first, second, and third pronouns'. The Arab classical rhetoricians used ʾiltifāt to refer to thirteen different figures, styles, and features. Similarly, they used seven different terms for one concept. The reasons behind this terminology disorder are investigated and the necessity of a contextual dictionary of Arabic Balāgha is argued for. Keywords: ʾiltifāt, balāgha, grammatical shift, Arabic tradition, terminology, rhetoric

The Terms We Share or Don’t Want to Share

Through the decades of working on processing Croatian terminology in STRUNA we have identified two problems that can generate an extremely confusing situation for the end-user. On the one hand, we have homonyms, where the same term is used to indicate multiple concepts. This problem was anticipated since it is well-known that certain terms can have different or slightly different meanings in various fields of knowledge or even in the same field. We handle the homonyms by allowing multiple entries in STRUNA. On the other hand, fairly often, we come upon the case where a new entry was introduced into STRUNA even though the term with a semantically identical definition already existed. In anticipation of this problem, we have, from the very beginning of STRUNA, implemented the option of accepting the existing terminological entry and associating it with the ongoing project. Unfortunately, for various reasons, editors rarely use this feature. Therefore, this issue will have to be addressed in the future. In this paper, we will present these problems experienced by the end-user of STRUNA and suggest possible solutions implemented in a certain project (field) and/or interfiled solutions.

Intrusion detection in the IoT data streams using concept drift localization

&lt;abstract&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the widespread application of smart devices, the security of internet of things (IoT) systems faces entirely new challenges. The IoT data stream operates in a non-stationary, dynamic environment, making it prone to concept drift. This paper focused on addressing the issue of concept drift in data streams, with a key emphasis on introducing an innovative drift detection method-ensemble multiple non-parametric concept localization detectors, abbreviated as EMNCD. EMNCD employs an ensemble of non-parametric statistical methods, including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Wilcoxon rank sum and Mann-Kendall tests. By comparing sample distributions within a sliding window, EMNCD accurately detects concept drift, achieving precise localization of drift points, and enhancing overall detection reliability. Experimental results demonstrated the superior performance of EMNCD compared to classical methods on artificial datasets. Simultaneously, to enhance the robustness of data stream processing, we presented an online anomaly detection method based on the isolation forest (iForest). Additionally, we proposedwhale optimization algorithm (WOA)-extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), a drift adaptation model employing XGBoost as a base classifier. This model dynamically updates using drift points detected by EMNCD and fine-tunes parameters through the WOA. Real-world applications on the edge-industrial IoTset (IIoTset) intrusion dataset explore the impact of concept drift on intrusion detection, where IIoT is a subclass of IoT. In summary, this paper focused on EMNCD, introducing innovative approaches for drift detection, anomaly detection, and drift adaptation. The research provided practical and viable solutions to address concept drift in data streams, enhancing security in IoT systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/abstract&gt;

What is wrong with constructivist teaching? Elaboration, recapitulation and synthesis of theoretical and historical controversies

The aim of the study is to use a historical and theoretical-comparative methodological approach to elaborate and recapitulate the phenomenon, history, theoretical, methodological and didactic characteristics as well as certain controversies of constructivism in education. The emphasis will be placed on observing the constructivist teaching in the discourse of the movements of reform pedagogy from a hundred and more years ago. By synthesizing the analysed facts, one can state with certainty that constructivist teaching is a multiple and robust theoretical concept with its own definitions and a long history. The didactic arrangements of constructivist teaching show roots in the concepts of schools and teaching of the reform pedagogy movement, but these two terms cannot be considered synonymous. Constructivist teaching provides essential educational benefits to students, but there are also well-argued criticisms and limitations whose interpretations depend on the theoretical, epistemological and cultural perspectives of observation.

Time and risk preferences and the perceived effectiveness of incentives to comply with diabetic retinopathy screening among older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Behavioral economics has the potential to inform the design of incentives to improve disease screening programs by accounting for various behavioral biases. We investigate the association between multiple behavioral economics concepts and the perceived effectiveness of incentive strategies for behavioral change among older patients with a chronic disease. This association is examined by focusing on diabetic retinopathy screening, which is recommended but very variably followed by persons living with diabetes. Five time and risk preference concepts (i.e., utility curvature, probability weighting, loss aversion, discount rate, and present-bias) are estimated simultaneously in a structural econometric framework, based on a series of deliberately-designed economic experiments offering real money. We find that higher discount rates and loss aversion and lower probability weighting are significantly associated with lower perceived effectiveness of intervention strategies whereas present-bias and utility curvature have an insignificant association with it. Finally, we also observe strong urban vs. rural heterogeneity in the association between our behavioral economic concepts and the perceived effectiveness of intervention strategies.

IOT Based Smart Parking System Using Ensemble Learning

Parking space is usually very limited in major cities, especially Cairo, leading to traffic congestion, air pollution, and driver frustration. Existing car parking systems tend to tackle parking issues in a non-digitized manner. These systems require the drivers to search for an empty parking space with no guarantee of finding any wasting time, resources, and causing unnecessary congestion. To address these issues, this paper proposes a digitized parking system with a proof-of-concept implementation that combines multiple technological concepts into one solution with the advantages of using IoT for real-time tracking of parking availability. User authentication and automated payments are handled using a quick response (QR) code on entry and exit. Some experiments were done on real data collected for six different locations in Cairo via a live popular times library. Several machine learning models were investigated in order to estimate the occupancy rate of certain places. Moreover, a clear analysis of the differences in performance is illustrated with the final model deployed being XGboost. It has achieved the most efficient results with a score of 85.7%.

Reimmunization intervals for application of GnRH immunocontraceptive vaccine (GonaCon-Equine) in free-roaming horses (Equus ferus caballus) using syringe darts

Management of overabundant free-roaming horse (Equus ferus caballus) populations has become a divisive and challenging effort for natural resource managers worldwide. Controlling these populations requires land managers to balance socio-political issues, multiple use management concepts, and endearing affection of horses to some stakeholders against negative ecological alterations created by excessive densities of these animals. One potential solution to this dilemma is controlling the fertility of female horses. During 2013–2020, research was conducted to develop and test a prototype dart configuration system to deliver an effective dose of GonaCon-Equine to free-roaming horses. This remote dart delivery system was demonstrated to be safe and reliable in free-ranging horses with a 90% (71/79) success rate for first attempts and provided the opportunity to design an experiment to determine the long-term effectiveness, reversibility, and physiological side effects of different reimmunization schedules. Five experimental groups of mares were established consisting of a control (n = 25), and a 4-yr reimmunization interval (n = 25) of mares from a previous experiment that were treated with this same vaccine by hand injection in 2013. Additional booster intervals of horses were (2-yr (n = 11), 1-yr (n = 15), and 0.5-yr (n = 14) and vaccinated by remote dart delivery during 2013–2016. Weekly ground observations were utilized to estimate foaling proportions, foal survival, body condition, and injection site reactions related to treatment groups. All GonaCon-Equine booster intervals reduced (P ≤ 0.001) foaling proportions between treated and control mares for all years of the experiment. Effective contraception was also achieved when GonaCon-Equine was applied by remote dart delivery at post-primary intervals shorter than 4 years. Reversibility of GonaCon-Equine immunization occurred in all treatment groups and averaged 0.40 (26/65). The only detectable adverse side effect of vaccination was intramuscular swelling observed in 89% (115/129) of mares and occasional draining abscesses at the site of vaccine injection. However, regardless of method of vaccine delivery (hand vs dart), none of these mares displayed any evidence of lameness, altered gait, or abnormal range of movement during the 6 years of this study. These results support previous findings that effective contraception of free-roaming horses will require a primary vaccination followed by reimmunization but that timing from 6 months to 4 years result in similar success and together can achieve greater reduction in population growth rates.

A Simple Method for Predicting a Molecule's Biological Properties From Its Polarity

The distinction between very polar and less polar substances is a foundation of biochemistry, cell biology, and physiology; it surfaces in multiple concept inventories and elaborations of biological core concepts. However, in our experience, most biology courses do not explicitly teach students how to assess the polarity of any given molecule, thus limiting students&rsquo; ability to predict related biological properties such as the molecule&rsquo;s solubility in bodily fluids, its rate of diffusion through cell membranes, the location of its receptors (at the cell surface or inside the cell), its rate of filtration by the kidneys, and the extent of its persistence in the blood. Here we present a quantitative yet student-friendly method for determining a molecule&rsquo;s polarity according to the prevalence of polar functional groups. The method calculates a molecule&rsquo;s &ldquo;C/fun&rdquo; ratio&mdash;the number of carbon atoms per polar functional group&mdash;which correlates closely with the logP value, a widely used indicator of polarity. In addition, the lesson incorporates the Test Question Templates (TQT) framework to provide transparent guidance to both instructors and students on formative and summative assessments of understanding. Our lesson stresses the connections between polarity and the above-mentioned biological properties to help students appreciate the biological utility of understanding polarity. Given its central position in biochemistry and cell biology, polarity might be considered a Threshold Concept, <em>i.e.,</em> one that is troublesome (hard to understand), transformative (affecting scientific identity), integrative (connecting other concepts), and irreversible (hard to forget once mastered). <em>Primary Image:</em>&nbsp;&ldquo;The Curse of Chemistry.&rdquo; This image whimsically represents two&nbsp;biology students&rsquo; varying experience with, knowledge of, and attitudes toward chemistry.
