Talking about recent curriculum needs broaden views as the new curriculum actually involves multicultural and character traits. Thematic based activities will determine the depth and the width of subjects employed in those activities. The need of adopting cultural values into curriculum made some scholars interested to adopt Indonesian culture which is very broad, into subjects taught at school. One example of cultural values is local wisdom. The importance of involving local wisdom into English curriculum may give another point of view in ELT. The non native teachers do not have difficulty in teaching Indonesian students because they are born with their own culture with which they grew up surrounding it. They can learn and take the good deeds derived from their local values therefore they can use their own experience in their teaching practice. Even English is the first foreign language in Indonesia but if the teachers are creative and do not attempted to trap into the idea that English language threatened Indonesian language, they can teach their students English language without losing their own identity. Frankly speaking, English has its own culture but if the teachers realized that what they teach is a matter of English language, we should not be afraid of losing our own identity as Indonesian student. Therefore, the importance of applying multicultural English curriculum accommodating local wisdom at schools will help the government to preserve and maintain local wisdom

Information Theoretic Principles of Universal Discrete Denoising

Today, the internet makes tremendous amounts of data widely available. Often, the same information is behind multiple different available data sets. This lends growing importance to latent variable models that try to learn the hidden information from the available imperfect versions. For example, social media platforms can contain an abundance of pictures of the same person or object, yet all of which are taken from different perspectives. In a simplified scenario, one may consider pictures taken from the same perspective, which are distorted by noise. This latter application allows for a rigorous mathematical treatment, which is the content of this contribution. We apply a recently developed method of dependent component analysis to image denoising when multiple distorted copies of one and the same image are available, each being corrupted by a different and unknown noise process. In a simplified scenario, we assume that the distorted image is corrupted by noise that acts independently on each pixel. We answer completely the question of how to perform optimal denoising, when at least three distorted copies are available: First we define optimality of an algorithm in the presented scenario, and then we describe an aymptotically optimal universal discrete denoising algorithm (UDDA). In the case of binary data and binary symmetric noise, we develop a simplified variant of the algorithm, dubbed BUDDA, which we prove to attain universal denoising uniformly.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure

East-west corporate networking: A theoretical approach

In recent years after the beginning of the transition process, firms in Central and Eastern European countries have been trying hard to find access to international markets and production chains. Rapidly changing institutional, technological and demand conditions together with decades of isolation from world markets do not let ,,stand-alone strategies appear very successful in this context. The paper presents networking activities as a promising alternative for Central and Eastern European firms (CEEF) to organize international transactions. As several theories show, network forms of organization can - by establishing an atmosphere of trust and stability and by pooling resources and information - make it possible for network members to realize an economic advantage over external competitors that is higher than in markets or hierarchies. Among various types of networking activities, it is especially long-term-orientated relations that offer the possibility for CEEF to participate in an international exchange of crucial technologies and to upgrade their position in global production chains in the long run.

MOTION-DIRECTION SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS IN JAVANESE: A LEXICAL-FUNCTIONAL APPROACH

Motion-direction serialization (MDS) is a type of verb serialization that involves motion and directional verbs. This type of verb serialization commonly occurs in serializing languages including Javanese. This paper aims to discuss the characteristics and syntactic structure of MDS in Javanese. The syntactic structure, which comprises constituent and functional structures, is presented by using the theory of lexical -functional grammar (LFG) By adopting the lexical conceptual structure, the writer presents a model of functional structure to explain the syntactic and semantic relation between the motion verb and the directional verb in MDS. The data used in this study were taken from the novel “Suparto Brata’s Omnibus: Kumpulan Roman” written by Suparto Brata (2007) In Addition, this paper also used spoken data from two Javanese native speakers of the Surakarta dialect. The result shows that MDS in Javanese shares the same SUBJ argument, aspect, and negation. This shows that MDS expresses a single event. The LFG analysis of MDS shows that the directional verb has an X-COMP function, which is semantically represented as DIRECTION in the functional structure. The use of lexical conceptual structure in lexical entry and functional structure can clearly show the semantic and syntactic relation of the verbs involved in MDS

Automatic Bluefin Tuna sizing using a stereoscopic vision system

[EN] This article presents a non-invasive fully automatic procedure for Bluefin Tuna sizing, based on a stereoscopic vision system and a deformable model of the fish ventral silhouette. An image processing procedure is performed on each video frame to extract individual fish, followed by a fitting proce- dure to adjust the fish model to the extracted targets, adapting it to the bending movements of the fish. The proposed system is able to give accu- rate measurements of tuna snout fork length (SFL) and widths at five predefined silhouette points without manual intervention. In this work, the system is used to study size evolution in adult Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus Thynnus) over time in a growing farm. The dataset is composed of 12 pairs of videos, which were acquired once a month in 2015, between July and October, in three grow-out cages of tuna aquaculture facilities on the west Mediterranean coast. Each grow out cage contains between 300 and 650 fish on an approximate volume of 20 000 m3.Measurements were au- tomatically obtained for the 4 consecutive months after caging and suggest a fattening process: SFL shows an increase of just a few centimetres (2%) while themaximum width (A1)shows arelative increaseofmorethan20%,mostlyinthe first 2months in farm. Moreover, a linear relation (with co- efficient of determination R2> 0.98) between SFL and widths for each month is deduced, and a fattening factor (F) is introduced. The validity of the measurements is proved by comparing 15 780 SFL measurements, obtained with our automatic system in the last month, versus ground truth data of a high percentage of the stock under study (1143 out of 1579), obtaining no statistically significant difference. This procedure could be extended to other species to assess the size distribution of stocks, as discussed in the article.This work was supported by funding from ACUSTUNA project ref.

Multipartite quantum correlations: symplectic and algebraic geometry approach

We review a geometric approach to classification and examination of quantum correlations in composite systems. Since quantum information tasks are usually achieved by manipulating spin and alike systems or, in general, systems with a finite number of energy levels, classification problems are usually treated in frames of linear algebra. We proposed to shift the attention to a geometric description. Treating consistently quantum states as points of a projective space rather than as vectors in a Hilbert space we were able to apply powerful methods of differential, symplectic and algebraic geometry to attack the problem of equivalence of states with respect to the strength of correlations, or, in other words, to classify them from this point of view. Such classifications are interpreted as identification of states with `the same correlations properties' i.e. ones that can be used for the same information purposes, or, from yet another point of view, states that can be mutually transformed one to another by specific, experimentally accessible operations. It is clear that the latter characterization answers the fundamental question `what can be transformed into what \textit{via} available means?'. Exactly such an interpretations, i.e, in terms of mutual transformability can be clearly formulated in terms of actions of specific groups on the space of states and is the starting point for the proposed methods.Comment: 29 pages, 9 figures, 2 tables, final form submitted to the journa

Characterization And Electrochemistry Of Life Po4 Synthesized By Sonication Hydrothermal Methods

CHARACTERIZATION AND ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF LiFePO4 BY SONICATION HYDROTHERMAL METHODS. Cathode materials of LiFePO4 for rechargeable-lithium ion battery were synthesized by combination of sonication and hydrothermal method. The reaction has been carried out by mixing of FeSO4.7H2O, H3PO4, LiOH and ethylene glycol. The mixtures were sonicated by ultrasonic prior to a hydrothermal process. The crystal structure, microstructure and electrical properties of LiFePO4 products were characterized by usingX-ray diffraction (XRD), a Scanning ElectronMicroscope (SEM), and an Impedance Spectroscopy, respectively. The X-ray data showed that the crystal structure of LiFePO4 belongs to the P m n a space group (olivine structure). The crystalline size of sample non-sonic, sonic and commercial LiFePO4 were 730.2; 3068.0 and 639.4 Å, respectively. Performances of half cell batteries were measured by Impedance spectroscopy and by using Battery Analyzer BST-8.The EIS data from half cell batteries of nonsonic, sonic and commercial LiFePO4 were 269.92; 149.85 and 106.2 Ω, respectively. Meanwhile, the specific capacities at 0.1C of non-sonic, sonic and commercial LiFePO4 were 98.70; 120.17 and 125.23 mAh/g, respectively.As confirmed by SEMimage, the particle distribution of sonic-LiFePO4 were more homogenous, and had properties similar to the commercial ones. It is concluded that the sonication procedure carried out prior to hydrothermal has improved performance of the lithium ion battery
