Penerapan Metode Inquiri Untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Fisika Siswa Pada Materi Besaran Dan Satuan

The method was an important factor that needs to be mastered by teachers in carrying out learning in schools. To obtain good student learning outcomes, every teacher should be able to use methods that are in accordance with the material presented. Because not all methods are suitable for every subject matter presented, but there are methods that are more suitable for certain materials and not or less suitable for other materials. One of the efforts that must be done is to find teaching methods that are able to invite students to be more active in learning activities and train students to learn a lot on their own. Based on the background of the problem above, the formulation of the problem in this research is: "Is the application of the inquiry method able to improve student physics learning outcomes on the material of quantities and units in class X SMA Negeri 1 Jeunieb in the 2019/2020 academic year?" The goal to be achieved in this study was to improve student physics learning outcomes through the application of the inquiry method to the material of quantities and units in class X SMA Negeri 1 Jeunieb in the 2019/2020 academic year.

Linguistic Landscape: Reports on immigrant language at Asian-Australian community

Studies in linguistic landscape (LL) have been emerged as one of the growing topics in the societal multilingualism. Linguistic landscape transpires as a significant element to study linguistic contacts in multilingual settings. Despite the fact that Australia has been acknowledged as one of the multilingual hotspots, a study in linguistic landscape received scant attention among scholars. In enhancing a broad appreciation of the linguistic diversity at the multilingual society like Australia, thus, the centrality of this article is to report significant component of rich linguistic scenes at Springvale-Greater Dandenong, Victoria. The sources of data were derived from visual data, and further will be intertwined with the consensus data. Taken together, the twofold data presented in this article have revealed that the LL studies emerge as an important element to contribute to the richness of multi-ethnic representation in multilingual societies. The result showed that English translation is mostly found in the terrestrial signage, this appearance denotes the significance of English language as an official signage or a lingua franca for the community rather than a bilingual outward appearance. Despite English language has been identified as the dominant language representation though the signage, there are a buoyance of minority languages representation in the city of Springvale’s LL

THE EFFECTS OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK ON FLUENCY AND ACCURACY IN 4/3/2 ACTIVITY: A CASE OF STUDENTS AT ELTO SPELL-OUT PROGRAM

ABSTRACT Due to limited time in the language classroom, teachers cannot set a huge number of goals for their students in teaching-learning process. The 4/3/2 activity, which is becoming increasingly popular among ESL teachers, is the focus of this research. The corrective feedback strategy is offered in this study as a way to improve the 4/3/2 activity. There were four participants in the study, all of whom were English Language Training for Officials (ELTO) spell-out students from Southeast Asian countries. They underwent a short course at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The findings suggest that fluency development is best served by 4/3/2 activity. Especially, respondents' fluency in both activities improved as a result of the time constraints. Surprisingly , there is not enough evidence to support the claim that both activities are more valuable in terms of accuracy's improvement. Despite the fact that corrective feedback has been incorporated into the activity, the results show no significant change. While adjusting the 4/3/2 activity can help, it does not take the place of adjusting the activity's priority. Correct feedback does not interfere with fluency improvement, hence this claim is disproved.    ABSTRAK Karena waktu yang terbatas dalam pembalajaran bahasa di kelas, guru tidak dapat menargetkan banyak hal bagi siswanya dalam proses belajar-mengajar. Kegiatan 4/3/2 yang semakin populer di kalangan guru bahasa Inggris, menjadi fokus pada penelitian ini. Strategi umpan balik korektif ditawarkan dalam penelitian ini sebagai salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan kegiatan 4/3/2. Ada empat partisipan yang menjadi objek dalam penelitian ini, semuanya adalah siswa spell-out English Language Training for Officials (ELTO) dari beberapa negara Asia Tenggara. Mereka menjalani kursus singkat di Victoria University of Wellington, Selandia Baru. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan peningkatan kefasihan berbicara, paling signifikan didapati dalam aktivitas 4/3/2. Kefasihan responden dalam kedua kegiatan tersebut meningkat tajam sebagai efek dari penekanan waktu pada aktivitas tersebut. Anehnya, tidak ada cukup bukti untuk mendukung klaim bahwa kedua aktivitas tersebut lebih bernilai dalam hal peningkatan akurasi berbicara. Terlepas dari kenyataan bahwa umpan balik korektif telah dimasukkan ke dalam aktivitas tersebut, hasilnya tidak menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan. Meskipun menyesuaikan aktivitas 4/3/2 dapat membantu, itu tidak menggantikan penyesuaian prioritas aktivitas tersebut. Umpan balik yang benar tidak mengganggu peningkatan kelancaran, oleh karena itu klaim ini dibantah.   Kata Kunci: Akurasi Berbicara; Aktivitas 4/3/2; Kefasihan Berbicara; Umpan Balik. &nbsp

Analyzing Cough Sounds for the Evidence of Covid-19 using Deep Learning Models

Early detection of infectious disease is the must to prevent/avoid multiple infections, and Covid-19 is an example. When dealing with Covid-19 pandemic, Cough is still ubiquitously presented as one of the key symptoms in both severe and non-severe Covid-19 infections, even though symptoms appear differently in different sociodemographic categories. By realizing the importance of clinical studies, analyzing cough sounds using AI-driven tools could help add more values when it comes to decision-making. Moreover, for mass screening and to serve resource constrained regions, AI-driven tools are the must. In this thesis, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) tailored deep learning models are studied to analyze cough sounds to detect the possible evidence of Covid-19. In addition to custom CNN, pre-trained deep learning models (e.g., Vgg-16, Resnet-50, MobileNetV1, and DenseNet121) are employed on a publicly available dataset. In our findings, custom CNN performed comparatively better than pre-trained deep learning models

Understanding electronic defects in organic solar cells: Defect identification, characterization & mitigation

Among several thin-film based solar technologies, organic or hybrid organic- inorganic photovoltaic (PV) technology is envisioned as a foremost candidate towards the realization of ubiquitous and economical solar power. Organic PV (OPV) technology has the advantages of facile fabrication suitable for roll-to-roll processing on flexible substrates, high optical absorption coefficients, low- temperature processing, and easy tunability by chemical doping. Substantial progress has resulted from the optimization of materials processing parameters and the emergence of new materials. Recent works have achieved conversion efficiencies exceeding 13%, but with the Shockley-Queisser limit calculated at 21% for single-junction cells, there are many facets left for improvement. Recombination and mobility deficits are considered two of the largest bottlenecks in organic solar cells – accounting for 50-60% of losses. Electronic defect bands can significantly affect both these bottlenecks, introducing charged trap sites, Shockley-Read-Hall centers, or both. Thus, the identification, characterization and mitigation of these defects largely remain open and important areas of interest. This research work focuses on understanding defects in OPVs through systematic identification of defects, characterization of their nature and exploring approaches for defect mitigation. An understanding on the physical origin of electronic defects is developed using several organic materials. Different approaches have been explored to minimize these defects to optimized device performance. This work shows the distribution of defect states in the bandgap of organic semiconductors used in OPVs with accurate energetic location and interpret on their physical origin. Exploring ways to minimized electronic defects, this work demonstrates improvement of power-conversion-efficiency and stability of OPVs
