Students' Errors in Understanding Numeracy Problems:A Case Study of Kinesthetic Students

Numeracy is an essential skill that needs to be developed early on. With good numeracy skills, students are expected to be able to solve problems that occur in everyday life. However, not all students are able to solve problems in the form of numeracy well, one of which is students with kinesthetic learning styles. This is because numeracy problems are presented in visual form, which is not in accordance with the kinesthetic students, who more easily process information physically or through movement. Therefore, kinesthetic students tend to make many mistakes in solving numeracy problems. Therefore, the researcher intends to analyze the errors made by kinesthetic students in solving numeracy problems in order to help teachers find solutions to these problems. This qualitative study involved private junior high school students in Malang city with kinesthetic learning styles as research subjects. Researchers used learning style test questionnaires, numeracy problem test results, and interview results to obtain data, which were then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion/verification. Based on the study's results, it was found that kinesthetic students made three types of errors in solving numeracy problems, namely 1) errors in understanding the problem, 2) errors in understanding the problem, and 3) errors in solving numeracy problems. These errors are caused by several things, including 1) students' lack of ability to interpret the reading, 2) students' lack of willingness to reread the problems presented, 3) the numeracy problems presented are complicated, i.e. presented with many numbers and objects, 4) students tend to rush to solve the problems so they do not do the reexamination process.

Digital transformation of cinematograph as a factor in forming a new visual aesthetic: an analysis of the foreign film discourse at the beginning of the XXI century

The purpose of the article is to consider the process of the digital cinematograph transformation as a factor in forming a new visual aesthetics through the analysis of the foreign cinema discourse at the beginning of the XXI century. The methodology of the research is based on a holistic approach, which involves formulating a picture of cinema in the digital world, based on different points of view of directors and film critics on the results of the impact of new technologies on reforming the foundations of cinema, resulting in the formation of a new visual aesthetic. This dictates the use of discourse analysis (a method of studying the content) of reviews, comments, surveys, etc. related to innovative approaches in the film industry. An attempt to define the influence of new media on cinematic aesthetics involves the use of the principle of techno(media)determinism, which helps to reveal the interconnections of technological, stylistic, programmatic, and socio-cultural processes. The results. It is confirmed that the computerization at the beginning of the XXI century actively contributed to the formation of new structures of representation and content, and also initiated a rethinking of the role of cinema in society. Digital technologies have freed traditional cinema from its aesthetic and stylistic tropes and languages, thus opening up cinematic aesthetics to the influences of automatisms integrated into digital tools and computer software. It is emphasized that, along with the choice of long shooting, deep focus and A. Bazin’s theory of the objective machine, where the filmmaker’s prejudices are minimized, proleptic editing and indexicality are also perceived as a choice, not as format-driven limitations. The computerization and dematerialization of the camera turns it into a co-creator and co-director, thereby dictating a new logic of seeing the mise-en-scene and the nature of authorship, and also determines the development of aesthetic styles that, thanks to the hybridity of digital images, go beyond the boundaries of visual realism. It is found out that the optimization and further spread of compositing, as well as digital intermediaries, changes the indexical nature of cinema and creates conditions for the consistent hybridization of visual forms and the transformation of aesthetic styles that become more similar in their characteristics to the visuals of video games and graphic novels than to photography. The scientific novelty. The article for the first time analyzes different points of view of foreign directors and film critics in the first decade of the XXI century on the consequences and prospects of the impact of digital technologies on reforming the foundations of cinema, and also considers several creative experiments within the framework of cinema 3.0 with new influences and genre hybridity that have influenced the formation of a new visual aesthetic. The practical significance. The results of this research can be used in the educational process when teaching a general course on the history of cinema and special courses on the digital transformation of audio-visual art and cinematograph in particular.

Propagation of optical spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals with quadruple power law of nonlinearity appears in fluid mechanics

Abstract The present research explores nematicons in liquid crystals (LCs) with quadruple power law nonlinearity utilizing the modified extended Fan sub-equation technique as an analytical tool to investigate the optical spatial soliton solutions. For the inaugural time, a novel version of nonlinearity is investigated in relation to LCs. There are distinct applications for the several wave solutions that have been created in optical handling data. The aforementioned modified extended Fan subequation approach offers novel, comprehensive solutions that are relatively easy to deploy in comparison to earlier, regular methodologies. This approach translates a coupled non-linear partial differential equation into a coupled ordinary differential equation through implementing a traveling wave conversion. This approach indicates that a large variety of traveling and solitary solutions that rely upon five parameters can be incorporated by the nematicons in LCs. In addition, the investigation yields solutions of the single and mixed non-degenerate Jacobi elliptic function form. Novel solutions, such as the periodic pattern, kink and anti-kink patterns, N-pattern, W-pattern, anti-Z-pattern, M-pattern, V-pattern, complexion pattern and anti-bell pattern, or dark soliton solutions of nematic LCs, have been constructed by means of modified extended Fan subequation technique through granting suitable values for the parameters. The computer software Mathematica 14 is used to illustrate several modulus, real and imaginary solutions visually in the form of contour, 2D, and 3D visualizations that help understand the concrete importance of the nematicons in LCs. This research additionally offers a physical comprehension of the obtained solutions and applications of model. The imposed approach is ultimately thought to be more potent and effective than alternative approaches, and the solutions found in this work could be beneficial in our understanding of soliton structures in LCs.

Cartographic Visualisation of Light Pollution Measurements

The light pollution of the night sky is already a widespread phenomenon, the spatial extent and magnitude of which are increasingly represented in the form of thematic maps and cartographic visualization. Its leading cause needs to be correctly designed or adequately installed outdoor lighting. The problem of excessive artificial light emission at night, together with its adverse effects, has already reached such a level that it has become necessary to develop usable and comprehensible methods for the cartographic representation of the distribution of the phenomenon. In practice, there are several ways to measure the intensity of this pollution. However, there are no uniform legal standards for the use of outdoor lighting and no guidance and guidelines for the visualization of measurement data. Such visualization should provide a consistent, reliable, and, above all, readable picture of the phenomenon adapted to the needs of different audiences. Examples of the representation of the results of measurements of light pollution of the night sky can be found in the literature or a few atlases. Still, they often differ in color scales, value divisions, and measurement units used. This paper reviews the scales and units available in the literature to describe this phenomenon. The differences between the approaches of specialists from different branches and their influence on the final interpretation of the data are also presented. In addition, an authorial solution is proposed to standardize methods of cartographic visualization of the spatial distribution of light smog measurement results. The article attempts to draw attention to the importance of the graphical description of light smog, which will shortly be the subject of increasing research and work on the unification of cartographic communication.

National intonation in the films of Sergei Parajanov

The significance of the study: Interest in Sergei Parajanov's creative legacy has not waned for several decades. His cinematic works and collages continue to inspire contemporary artists, including world-class pop stars such as Madonna and Lady Gaga, 50 years on. Many books, articles and essays have been written about his films and himself in various languages, demonstrating the relevance of his chosen subject. The main purpose of the study: to determine the role of background and, more specifically, musical means in creating the unique national tone of Parajanov's films, to identify the mechanisms of its implementation, the specifics of the director's work with composers who wrote music for his films, and to highlight the ways in which they solved their creative task. Methodology: The research methodology includes the conceptual framework of V. Moskalenko's theory of musical interpretation, in particular the concept of intonation as '...a nonconceptual physical and characteristic system of communication that expresses (in audio, visual or tactile forms) the situational emotional and psychological state of an individual'. The work also used general scientific research methods, including analysis, comparison, classification, inferring patterns and generalisation. Results and conclusions. Based on the analysis of two of S. Parajanov's most famous films, the article concludes that the director's special approach to the embodiment of national intonation in his films asserts the intonation of the word, whose main function in his films is expression, not definition. What is important in a word is not so much its meaning as its intonation, i.e. how it is pronounced, how it sounds. A defining aspect of Parajanov's films is the polyphony of his scores, which synthesise elements of folk music, professional compositions, natural sounds and speech intonations to create a powerful expressive effect. This approach allowed the director to achieve a profound universality, making his works understandable on a cross-cultural level while emphasising national identity. The sound intonation in his films is inseparable from the visual, verbal and symbolic components, creating a holistic visual system. The national intonation in his films is expressed on the background as well as on the visual (frame), verbal (speech), mimetic (pantomime, gesture, dance) and sign (symbolic) levels. The verbal component simultaneously combines the phonic component, as the word is sung or recited in a certain way. In this way, the artist achieves the greatest expressive effect by concentrating the various means of expression.
