THE INVESTIGATION OF BEST PRACTICES ON SYMBOLIC MATHEMATICAL COMMUNICATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN JAPAN, LAO PDR, AND THAILAND

Purpose – This comparative study sought to identify best practices concerning symbolic mathematical communication between primary school teachers and students in Japanese, Laotian, and Thai classrooms. Method – The target groups were 18 teachers and 671 students in Grade 1 to Grade 6 mathematics classrooms in Japan, Lao PDR, and Thailand. A total of 18 classrooms were inspected, one from each grade; thus, the unit of analysis was a classroom. Research instruments included a video recorder, a camera, and field notes. The data was gathered by videotaping, photographing, and taking notes. A descriptive analytics method was used to examine the data, following Pirie's mathematical communication framework (Pirie, 1998). Findings – Based on cultural norms and educational approaches in each country, the country-specific practices of symbolic communication were found to differ significantly among the mathematics teachers from the three countries. Owing to the education system in Japan placing a strong emphasis on discipline and respect, their teachers were found to focus on students’ symbolic explanations, particularly allowing students to elaborate on the meaning of complex mathematical ideas and concepts using symbolic communication. Laotian teachers tended to explain the answers using symbolic mathematical communication. This is because the country-specific practices in the Laotian local context concerning mathematical concepts are contextualized to relate to students’ daily lives and experiences, making abstract symbols more meaningful. Finally, Thai teachers were found to focus on the students’ answers rather than the learning process or operations. This suggests that Thai teachers often focus on memorising and repeating of mathematical procedures and formulas. Significance – The study findings offer a substantial understanding of the role of culture in education by investigating symbolic communication in mathematics classrooms in Japan, Laos, and Thailand. This implies the potential to improve teaching practices,enhance student learning experiences, and promote cultural sensitivity and inclusion in educational settings.

Media influence on mass perception and psychological state of citiz

Nowadays, the rapid development of technology has contributed to the rapid spread of social media among citizens of different countries. This has fundamentally changed the way people interact and communicate with each other, and how they receive information. At the same time, people's trust in and use of different media can affect their emotional and psychological state. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the impact of media on mass perception and the psychological state of citizens. Given the enormous impact that media has on society, it is crucial to understand the psychosocial mechanisms by which symbolic communication affects human thinking, perception, and behavior. The article determines that traditional media (Internet resources, social networks, television, newspapers and magazines, etc.) have become an important channel for receiving information. The results demonstrate the impact of news content on the moods and opinions of the national audience. That is why modern society draws all new trends, fashions and whims from the media. It has been established that the media have a significant impact on the behavior of people in society. In addition to the positive impacts on business, politics and society, there are some negative ones, such as cyberbullying, privacy issues and fake news. Mass media are used for social intervention to disseminate information and change social behavior. This is the prosocial effect of media. There is a clear link between watching violent videos in the media and the upward trend in violence. We observe aggression among friends, relatives and other people makes the viewer more prone to aggressive behavior People who watch a lot of TV tend to overestimate the amount of violence and crime that occurs in the world. Thus, it has been established that the media has a very large impact on changing the current and socio-psychological part of society. This change causes a movement that can be detected and directed in a positive or negative direction.

SEMIOTICS OF PRODUCT LABELING

This article examines the diversity of multimodality, that is, how different sign modes interact in texts. It highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between different modes of symbolic communication, especially in creating a connection between words and images. It examines how semiotics is closely related to visual communication and how it helps convey messages and engage the attention of an audience. The article also considers the extension of semiotics beyond language and the importance of studying sign processes in a multimodal context. It outlines various theoretical approaches and concepts that help to understand the interaction of different types of signs. Semiotics plays an important role in product labeling, where words and images are combined to convey meanings to consumers. Its importance in marketing strategies and understanding consumer behavior is also emphasized.

Practical frequency-hopping MIMO joint radar communications: design and experiment

Joint Radar and Communications (JRC) can implement two Radio Frequency (RF) functions using a single of resources, providing significant hardware, power and spectrum savings for wireless systems requiring both functions. Frequency-Hopping (FH) MIMO radar is a popular candidate for JRC because the achieved communication symbol rate can greatly exceed the radar pulse repetition frequency. However, practical transceiver imperfections can cause many existing theoretical designs to fail. In this work, we reveal for the first time the non-trivial impact of hardware imperfections on FH-MIMO JRC and model the impact analytically. We also design new waveforms and correspondingly develop a low-complexity algorithm to jointly estimate the hardware imperfections of unsynchronized receiver. In addition, using low-cost software-defined radios and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products, we build the first FH-MIMO JRC experimental platform with simultaneous over-the-air radar and communication validation. Confirmed by simulation and experimental results, the proposed designs achieve high performance for both radar and communications.

Early Children Character Education: Analysis of The Message of The Quran in Forming Human Morality

Character education is important to instill in early childhood. The purpose of this research is to see the concept of character education for early childhood from the perspective of the Qur'an. The importance of education is not only found in the perspective of national education but also in the Qur'an, which leads to the formation of human morality. The method used in this study was by conducting library research. This descriptive research used a qualitative approach. Simultaneously, the data analysis technique applied content analysis by emphasizing the constancy of the content of communication, the meaning of the content of communication, the reading of symbols, and the meaning of the contents of the interaction of symbols in communication. The results of this study show that the Qur'an pays attention to education to shape the morale of early childhood and Muslims so that they become a person with a strong character. The novelty in research is that the Qur'an has outlined character education for early childhood by forming human morals through a) education and science (Q.S al-Baqarah: 266), b) cultivation of faith (Q.S an-Nisa: 59), and c) implementation of the Shari'a (Q.S al-Ankabut: 45). The implication of this research is that it can be applied as the main principle in Islamic education to shape the character of early childhood and as an effort to reorient the concept of Islamic education contained in the Qur'an.

Знаковая коммуникация как процесс конституирования культурных смыслов

The article deals with the problems of constructing cultural meanings in the course of symbolic communication of individuals in the context of the crisis of rationality, which is the main characteristic of the spiritual climate of the modern era. According to the author, the formation of the post-classical type of rationality makes the task of researching the processes of cultural communication and their meaning-generating function especially urgent. As shown in the paper, cultural values form the foundation of the meaning structure of reality, and culture as a set of means and processes of sign communication has as its most important goal the constitution of the meaning (first of all, value) dimension of human existence.

Interpersonal symbolic communicative practices in the traditional Igbo society

This study examines interpersonal symbolic communication in the traditional Igbo society, which entails culturally-learned, often nuanced, socially shared system of communication between individuals by the use of instruments as symbols, in which the relation between the symbol and the signified concept is arbitrary. Data for the study were drawn from oral interviews and participant observation as primary sources, while secondary sources were library materials and the internet. Findings indicate that there exists yet another form of non-verbal communication that is symbolic (involves symbols) and is exclusively interpersonal in “the various Igbo culture areas” (Onwuejeogwu 1975). The examples are sub classified based on what they communicate. The study concludes that interpersonal symbolic communicative practices could be used as tools in interesting and complex ways for the description and reproduction of varied sociocultural world of the Igbo.

Ecological Environmentalism in Geg Ary Suharsani's Kunang-Kunang Hitam

The Tamblingan land conflict is closely related to the investment trend heading towards Bali’s upstream area. Investors are converting Tamblingan forest land into hotels and tourism to reap the benefits of nature tourism in the most natural forest. This issue is discussed in the novel Kunang-Kunang Hitam by Geg Ary Suharsani. This paper aims to describe the struggle of the female character Ni Luh Candri in the Tamblingan land conflict as narrated in the novel Kunang-Kunang Hitam (KKH). This study uses a Susan Griffin perspective ecofeminism approach. The results of this study indicate that the struggle of the female character Ni Luh Candri in defending the Tamblingan forest is divided into two forms: Ni Luh Candri’s struggles related to nature, such as refusing land conversion, protecting rare plants, symbolic communication to fireflies and Ni Luh Candri’s struggles related to nature humanistic environment, such as becoming Leak, burning incense, displaying rangda mask, and advocating for communities around the forest. This research proves that women can take various important actions (ecological environmentalism) to preserve the environment.

Women Struggle for Workers' Rights in Radical and Moderate Feminist Media

Aims: This study sought to take a closer look at how a message and theme are presented by two online feminist alternative media considered to have distinct styles, namely Konde.co which is Radical and Magdalene.co which is Moderate, sincethe text in the news contains a powerful ability to influence the public’s views towards existing reality. 
 Study Design: This study used quantitative text analysis.
 Place and Duration of Study: 35 articles that are relevant to the topic were taken as research material, with a publication period between April 1, 2019 –May 31, 2023. This period was chosen due to the nuance of Labor Day where many working women voiced their aspirations at that moment
 Methodology: Content analysis is an important research method in social sciences and human sciences. This method has two key advantages. First, it accepts symbolic communications, which are relatively unstructured, as data. It means that content analysis can accept data in the form of text, images, or other symbols, even if they lack clear formal structures.
 Results: Text in the news is very effective in shaping public perceptions of existing reality. In the context of news, text functions as a representation of communication. Through words, sentences and writing styles, text in news can shape how readers perceive and judge reality. In addition, text as a symbol has the ability to convey meaning that seeps into people's feelings or emotions. The massive scale of developments in information technology makes it easier for people to access text in the news. It is also utilized by certain groups to disseminate information using their media. As a result, media have grown healthily in Indonesia.
 Conclusion: It is clear from this study that Konde.co and Magdalene.co, among others, fill the role of alternative media in voicing women's issues, especially working women. Konde.co is aggressively voicing the issue of female workers using radical language and diction. Magdalene.co, on the other hand, is consistent in pushing the belief that women deserve the same stability and career path as men.

Joint design of antenna selection and transmit linear array beamformer for integrated radar and communications

The design of integrated radar-communication (IRC) systems is seen as a promising solution to alleviate the congestion of spectrum resource in recent years. Additionally, with the deployment of large-scaled arrays in base stations, sparse array design via antenna selection has become prominent to reduce system overheads and alleviate mutual coupling effect. In this paper, we propose a joint design of antenna selection and transmit beamformer for IRC systems to realize the dual operations of radar and communications. Specifically, we propose a joint model that achieves a trade-off between minimizing the total number of antennas for IRC and suppressing the peak sidelobe level (PSL) of overall transmit beampattern with well-controlled mainlobe ripples. Unlike the existing schemes that focus on individual beamformer design with varying sparse array configurations, we impose a group sparsity on the beamforming matrix and jointly optimize multiple beamformers to obtain a common sparse array for the constellation of all communication symbols. To solve the resulting non-convex problem, we employ the alternating direction method of multipliers to split the original problem into parallel subproblems which are then solved iteratively. Simulation results illustrate the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional approaches in obtaining a lower PSL using fewer antennas with dual functions.

The Social Lives of Veiled Women: Exploring Religious Identity and Modern Society's Reactions

The primary objective of this study is to investigate and gain a comprehensive understanding of the social experiences of women who wear the veil in their everyday lives. The study seeks to achieve two key objectives: first, to discern the motivations driving women to wear the veil, and second, to examine the social dynamics governing their utilization of the veil in daily life. Employing a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, data collection was carried out through interviews and observations. The findings of this study shed light on the diverse motivations that drive veiled career women to wear the veil. These motivations are rooted in various causal factors, including experiences of disturbance, societal influences, concerns, and familial issues. The overarching objective for these women is to fortify their faith and safeguard themselves against undesirable behaviors. Moreover, the study reveals that the veil holds multiple meanings for career women who wear it, such as serving as reminders, protective elements, expressions of gratitude, symbols of communication, obligations, and even challenges. The dynamics of communication among women who wear the veil, as explored in this study, encompass interactions with their immediate environment, their social circles, and communication within the workplace. These interactions elicit a spectrum of responses and reactions, ranging from rejection and alienation to serving as role models and sources of inspiration for others considering the practice of wearing the veil. This research provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of motives, meanings, and social interactions surrounding the practice of veiling among career women
