Balinese Gamelan is a popular traditional musical instrument that is admired by international residents due to its fast musical rhythms. In this study, the focus will be on one object of the Balinese gamelan musical instrument, namely the gangsa. The purpose of this study was to find out the mathematical concepts found in Balinese gamelan instruments, especially the gangsa. This type of research is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The subject of this research is the head of Tabuh UKM STANA, a student activity unit engaged in the arts at Mahasaraswati University Denpasar. Literature review, observation, interviews, and documentation were used to collect data, which was then analyzed and identified mathematical concepts contained in the gangsa musical instrument so that conclusions could be drawn. Based on the research results obtained through observation and interviews, it can be seen that the size and playing of the gangsa musical instrument have a mathematical concept. The mathematical concepts that we find in the gangsa musical instrument are the concepts of arithmetic sequence patterns and repeating patterns. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between bronze musical instruments and mathematics learning so that this can be used as an alternative medium for learning mathematics.

Doctoral programs in the fine arts, instead of coming up with their own ways of doing things, tend to adopt standards from the humanities, which themselves tend to adopt standards from science. Because of being preoccupied with trying to look like other disciplines, artistic thinking within artistic doctorates gets suppressed. But if we look into science directly and not through this second-hand approach, we can find aspects of scientific thinking that are closer to art than to the humanities. In this paper, I give examples of artistic thinking in the work of various scientists and mathematicians: a non-fiction book that uses fiction (Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel, Escher, Bach), a linguistic analysis that concludes with a story (Livia Polanyi's book Telling the American Story), scientific lectures with unusual formal aspects (Roger Penrose's "VJing" of multiple layers of foils through an overhead projector, David Deutsch's Lectures on Quantum Computation), and a collective hiding behind a fictional mathematician (Nicolas Bourbaki). I also briefly introduce the problem of verbal overshadowing and the effects it may have on the creative process in art. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a crucial tool in forensic investigations, particularly in cases that involve violent crimes such as homicides, assaults, and sexual assaults. The analysis of bloodstains can provide valuable information about the location and movement of the victim and perpetrator(s), the type of weapon used, and the number and direction of the blows or shots. The lack of an objective mathematical foundation is a critical issue in a scenario where the quality of evidences can strongly affect a court trial and the life of people involved in that trial. Systematic reviews provide a rigorous and transparent method for evaluating scientific evidence, and can help to identify strengths and weaknesses of a given methodology.Methods: To ensure comprehensive retrieval of relevant research we will search the following key databases: PubMed and ScienceDirect through 1000 for peer reviewed articles (in all languages) evidence related to bloodstain pattern analysis.Discussions: This systematic review summarizes four papers that discuss different aspects of BPA. The first paper introduced the basic concepts of BPA and the use of trigonometric principles to determine the impact angle of bloodstains. The second paper presented experimental findings on the use of trigonometry in BPA and identified its limitations in determining the height of blood sprayed upwards. The third paper examined the analysis of circular bloodstains and found that their clusters can provide indirect information on impact-to-wall distance and area of origin. The fourth paper introduced the use of virtual models for BPA and found that straight-line trajectories can be used to estimate the area of origin with high accuracy.Conclusions: These papers highlight the complexity of BPA and the importance of using a combination of methods to interpret bloodstain patterns accurately. It is essential to consider the limitations of each method and to use them in combination to obtain a more complete picture of the events that occurred at a crime scene. Further research is needed to refine and improve the methods used in BPA and to develop new approaches to analyzing bloodstain patterns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To improve the success of education, innovation is needed in the learning process, so educators are required to be very creative so that learning can be carried out more effectively and efficiently. Education provided at the elementary school level is very important because at elementary school age there is an understanding of the basic mathematical concepts that students need to know to prepare for the next level of education. The use of appropriate learning models can increase student motivation and learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of instructional media on mathematics learning outcomes for elementary school students. The methodology used in this study is a systematic literature review (SLR) by identifying, reviewing, evaluating and interpreting all existing research. With this approach, the researcher reviews and identifies articles in a structured manner, following the steps set out in each process. The results of the analysis of this study indicate that the learning model is very influential in the understanding of students as well as for elementary school students who still need concrete learning. One of the learning models that can be applied is a problem-based learning model because this model gives students the opportunity to formulate problems and create hypotheses on the problems presented. This is one way to get students used to building their own knowledge, practicing working on or solving problems that can improve student learning outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent decades, the disciplines of economics, decision sciences, and mathematics education have evolved side by side but essentially independently of one another. While they have all made significant progress, their common areas are less significant as a research focus. The paper summarizes significant milestones over the past centuries and guides readers through them to show how quantification has evolved and what impact this is having across disciplines; how it has become the main determination of economic processes, an influencer of decisions, and one of the most important subjects in education; and how it has become the custodian of rationality, and so how it can mislead the mind of the careless decision-maker. Finally, with these characteristics, the paper explores how quantification is able to mediate between the emotions and rationality of a decision-making situation, possibly transforming them towards each other.

In this study, more than 1700 answers of Slovak students paired with their teachers' views are processed to quantify the influence of predictors (attributes of teacher and environment) on their performance and tendency to cheat. For this reason, several multiple linear regression models were created. Respondents answered questions considering subject Mathematics. Findings point to aspects of educational process, which deserve higher attention from the perspective of performance maximization, effective acquisition of mathematical competence (and related literacy). Most significant impacts are demonstrated for following predictors: quality of student-subject and teacher-subject relationship and subjectively perceived classroom popularity.

This paper deals with the issue of interdisciplinarity in literature, tracing the mathematical influences -- and particularly those of the incompleteness theorems by Kurt Gödel -- on the literary works of Hans Magnus Enzensberger. Our attention is focused on Enzensberger's publications in mathematics, on his poem Hommage à Gödel, and his montage epos The Sinking of the Titanic. This paper submits a new, interdisciplinary interpretation of the poem Hommage à Gödel as a kind of art manifesto, and comes to the conclusion that the reason Enzensberger finds the incompleteness theorems so interesting is that they offer a scientific basis for undecidable problems and paradoxes. He applies Gödel's theorems to literature, where they enable a creative, playful oscillation between two positions or aspects of an undecidable problem and self-reference in literature.

Although the deterministic equation of life predicted and recognized by Albert Einstein is not yet defined, there are clear marks and signs of mathematical regularity which appear in nature showing fascinating accuracy. One of those "God's imprints" in the world that surrounds us is the Fibonacci Sequence, which represents more likely a starting point in revealing certain universal formula of life. The main idea of this paper is to enlighten two points: the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio, as well as to stress out the importance of reveling the perfect mathematical patterns that exist both in the organic as well as in the inorganic world. Thus, we might be able to understand the physical, spiritual and mental aspect of a human nature more clearly and completely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Man is a social being and cooperates with other people. Likewise, students must cooperate with each other so that they can easily learn the prescribed mathematical background. Collaborative learning, which is increasingly represented in teaching practice, has many advantages over traditional teaching in math classes. It is based on the idea that students will be quicker and easier to understand and adopt abstract mathematical concepts and rules, and to solve mathematical tasks faster and more effectively if they talk to each other about them. Many studies have shown that they are particularly motivated when they collaborate in learning. This is confirmed by our research. The research was conducted at the High School in Čitluk. The students were divided into two groups, both control and experimental. The control group has learned in the traditional way, and experimental has used collaborative learning. The results showed that the students of the experimental group were more motivated to learn from the student control group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite a rich research done abroad which has confirmed a strong influence of self-efficacy on performance and attitudes in relation to mathematics, there has been paid little attention to this concept in the Czech Republic. This article introduces the concept of self-efficacy and domainspecific self-efficacy in mathematics while also presents realized research with two main goals: 1) to develop and verify a Czech scale of mathematical self-efficacy for primary and secondary schools 2) to find out the relationship between mathematical self-efficacy and performance in mathematics. In the research group, there were 436 boys and girls from fourth and eighth grades. They completed a scale of mathematical self-efficacy, a mathematical questionnaire and a mathematical test with tasks provided by TIMSS 2007 project. The final Czech scale of mathematical self-efficacy consist of 30 items with a five-point evaluation scale and reports high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0,9). Mathematical self-efficacy significantly correlated with performance in the mathematical test. There was also a significant difference in the level of selfefficacy between younger and older children.

Goals. Phenomenon of stereotype threat is considered to be one of the causes of gender differences in mathematics. It occurs in achievement situations, in which the girls are aware of lower expectations of surroundings related to them. The paper presents the results of an experimental study of gender stereotype threat in mathematics. The goal of the study was to verify if this phenomenon exists also in Czech female pupils. Sample and procedure. The research sample consisted of male and female pupils of the eighth grade of basic schools and corresponding grades of multi-year grammar schools who were divided into the experimental and control groups. In the first phase, the measure of identification with mathematics and the measure of gender stereotypicity were assessed. Some weeks later, the mathematical test was assigned to pupils, which introduction included an experimental manipulation aiming to activate the gender stereotype in girls. Hypotheses. The authors expected that the activation of gender stereotype will lead to lower achievement in mathematical test in girls. Statistical analyses. Data were analyzed by means of series of four hierarchic regressions, in which the common predictors were the note in mathematics in the first step, the group in the second step, and factors of further followed variables were added into particular models in the third step. Results. The results of the study confirmed the existence of phenomenon of stereotype threat in Czech female pupils: the activation of the gender stereotype led to lowering of the achievement in the mathematical test in girls, the similar effect did not occur in boys. Limits. The potential limit of the study can be the high heterogeneity of the sample, given by different types of school educational programs and used textbooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Humankind has a long evolutionary history. When we are trying to understand human complex cognition, it is as well important to look back to entire evolution. I will present the thesis that our biological predispositions and culture, together with natural and social environment, are tightly connected. During ontogenetically development we are shaped by various factors, and they enabled humans to develop some aspects of complex cognition, such as mathematics. In the beginning of the article I present the importance of natural and cultural evolution in other animals. In the following part, I briefly examine the field of mathematics - nnmerosity and arithmetic. Presentation of comparative animal studies, mainly made on primates, provides some interesting examples in animals' abilities to separate between different quantities. From abilities for numerosity in animals I continue to neuroscientific studies of humans and our ability to solve simple arithmetic tasks. I also mention cross-cultural studies of arithmetic skills. In the final part of the text I present the field neuroanthropology as a possible new pillar of cognitive science. Finally, it is important to connect human evolution and development with animal cognition studies, but as well with cross-cultural studies in shaping of human ability for numerosity and arithmetic.

Background. With continued emphasis on accountability and student achievement scores, schools are finding ways to address the gaps between males and females. One means of addressing this gender gap is through the use of single gender classrooms. Previous literature reports data indicating the improvement of achievement scores for boys. Limited research is available indicating the impact of single gender classrooms on girls' academic achievement. The comparison of scores from male and female single gender classrooms and traditional classrooms needs to be analyzed to identify if improvement in scores is equal for both boys and girls who are learning in single gender classrooms. Purpose. The purpose of this research study was to provide information about gender specific classrooms by presenting data collected at a Midwestern elementary school. Material and methods. Archival data was obtained on gender specific classrooms and was entered into a data recording form. Results. Math scores for females in the gender specific classroom were higher than scores from females in the traditional classroom. Additionally, females in the gender specific classroom scored higher than males in both gender specific or traditional classrooms. However, the results also suggest that traditional classrooms are more suited to increase reading achievement than gender specific classrooms. Conclusion. The results from this study indicate that gender specific classrooms can be used to improve achievement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Istraženi su život i djelo Mirko Danijela Bogdanića (Virovitica, 1760 -- Budim, 1802), značajnoga hrvatskog, ugarskog i austrijskog astronoma i matematičara te autora svjetske povijesti na hrvatskom jeziku. U oblikovanju životopisa i objašnjenju njegova djelovanja slijedi se povijesni okvir burnih previranja u doba jozefinizma, u kojem je odrastao i djelovao, te njegov odnos prema hrvatskom jeziku i domovini. Studirao je matematiku, fiziku i astronomiju u Budimu i Pesšti (1782-1785), Stručno je surađivao s poznatim hrvatskim znanstvenicima koji su ondje djelovali (Ivan Paskvić, Franjo Bruna, Josip Mitterpacher i drugi). Posebna je pozornost posvećena bečkom razdoblju njegova djelovanja (oko 1791. do 1796.) U prvom dijelu razdobja Bogdanićeva su nastojanja usmjerena na objavljivanje prvog sveske svjetske povijesti na hrvatskom jeziku Dogodjaji svieta (1792), u kojem je pozornost obratio na astronomiju te na hrvatsko astronomsko nazivlje. U drugom dijelu bečkug razdoblja bio je student astronomije na bečkom sveu čilištu (1793-1795). Slijedi najvažnije razdoblje njegova života kao drugog i prvog pristava na budimskoj zvjezdarnici (1796-1802), te carskoga imenovanog astronoma pomoćnika mađarskoga husarskog natporućnika i kartografa Jánosa Lipszkoga (1798-1802) u obavljanju preciznih astronomskih motrenja za određivanje geografskih koordinata za kartu Mađarske (Mappa Generalis Regni hungariae…). Njegova motrenja ocijenjena su izvrsnima, posebice određivanje geografskih širina. Tijekom dugotrajnoga napornog terenskog rada pod nepovoljnim vremenskim okolnostima maksimalno se iscrpljivao, što je rezultiralo bolešću i preranom smrću. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the year 1909, P. Mikolainis (1868-1934) issued a mathematical book of problems for beginners in Tilsit. In the book, the knowledge of arithmetic bound with numbers from 1 to 100 was provided. By the way, the book was the first illustrated Lithuanian book of arithmetic problems. It was recommended to a teacher (in the case of using the book at school) to give supplemental tasks to getting-on pupils. Thus, the idea of individualization of teaching was emphasized. It was the second innovation offered in the book of problems, because no earlier published book of problems included such provisions. The third innovation was methodic instructions for teachers, provided in a smaller print. So, it was the first attempt to form Lithuanian didactics of mathematics. One more innovation was exercises (similar to today's copybooks for practical tasks) where the pupils had to supplement the texts by inserting the necessary numbers, signs of operations, etc. Because P. Mikolainis had good skills in German and English, he used German and English books of problems of the time in developing his book of problems. It was an important innovation as well, because other authors usually used Russian coursebooks and books of problems as a base. Mathematical terms and names of numbers used in the book of problems by P. Mikolainis are similar to those used in other Lithuanian coursebooks and books of problems of that period.

Previously unknown in Carniola preserved books of the Volf's, later Ljubljanian "Prince's" Trust Library were found. Just the scientific part of the library was examined by using Count Volf Engelbert Auersperg's manuscript catalogue (1668) transcribed in 1762 and sales catalogues (1982-1983). Carniolan libraries preserved six scientific books from the former Ljubljanian "Prince's" Trust Collection. Most of them are at Ljubljanian National and University Library. Last but not least, several Volf's medicine books are kept in private collections of Slovenian owners. The examined part of Volf's collection covered just a tenth of his 7000 titles. Therefore many other Volf's books should have remained in his native country, which is put at the limelight for the first time to attract other researches interested in Slovenian Library and Science History. Former Volf's books could be identified with characteristic Schönleben's manuscript bookplates. The "life paths" of some discovered Ljubljanian "Prince's" Trust Library books were described to show how Carniolans succeeded to keep them at home. Some items with bookplate of Wolf Engelbert Auersperg were found in Library of National Museum and in Provincial Museum of Kočevje. It is claimed that those were not a part of Governor General Count Wolf Engelbert Auersperg (* 1610) and his descendants' library, but rather a part of the former collection of Wolf's cousin's son, hereditary Marshal of Carniola Wolf Engelbert Auersperg (* 1641).
