“…Project-based assessments are suitable for science learning because they can increase students' selfefficacy, namely students' confidence in doing assignments (Morimoto et al, 2010;Effendi-hasibuan et al, 2020). Project assessment emphasizes research assignments in the form of problems related to the material starting from the planning stage, data collection, data processing, data presentation, and report preparation (Bressane et al, 2020). By giving project assignments, students will have the ability to understand, apply, investigate, and inform their knowledge.…”

This study aims to analyze the effect of project-based assessment based on local culture on students' scientific attitudes and science process skills in science learning in elementary schools. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent post-test-only control group design. The population in this study was 151 participants, while the sample selected through random sampling technique was 61 participants divided into two classes. The data collection methods in this research were test and non-test methods. The instruments used were scientific attitude questionnaires and performance tests, and observation sheets. A validation process measured the validity and reliability of the instrument. The data obtained were analyzed using the MANOVA test assisted by the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 application. The hypothesis test results show a significance value of 0.003 (Sig <0.05) so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that there are simultaneous effects in scientific attitudes and science process skills between students’ learning with local culture-based Project-based Assessment and students’ learning with conventional assessment applied.

“…Students are allowed to be creative in carrying out the project assignment that must be completed. Project evaluation emphasizes researchoriented assignments towards the problem in the instructional material starting from planning, data collection, data management, data presentation, to report writing (Bressane, da Silva, Fiore, Carra, Ewbank, De-Carli, & da Mota, 2020). By carrying out a project assignment, students will be able to understand, implement, research, and communicate their findings.…”

Globalization gives a negative influence on children’s nationalism. This is exacerbated by the low students’ learning achievement in the social studies education (SSE), despite the fact that one of the objectives of the SSE learning is to develop students’ potentials to be sensitive to social problems in the person, the society, the nation, and the state. This study is aimed at describing the effectiveness of the project-based assessment learning model with national insight- oriented activities on the SSE learning achievement and nationalism attitudes of primary school students. The study is quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent pre-test post test control group design. The research population consisted of all fourth-grade students totaling to 231 in number. Sampling was done by the random sampling technique, resulting in 46 students. Data were collected using test and non-test techniques. The test instrument was a multiple-choice test and the non-test instrument was a five-scale questionnaire. Both instruments were subjected to validity and reliability testing. The data analysis technique used the MANOVA statistic with the help of the SPSS computer software. The results showed that the significance level of the MANOVA test was .000 (< .0). This means that there are significant differences both partially and simultaneously in the SSE learning achievement and nationalism attitudes between students who learn by applying the project assessment learning model and students who learn ny applying the conventional learning model. In other words, there is a positive significant effect of learning using the project-based assessment learning model oriented on nationalism-insight activities towards the students’ SSE learning achievement and nationalism attitudes.

“…Nonetheless, it is worth mentioning that in a gridtype partition fuzzy inference system the number of rules is given by the combination of linguistic values, in other words, the number of rules can increase exponentially as a function of the number of input variables (Bressane et al 2020;Fernandes et al 2023). In this study, only four inputs were selected to compose the model; however, for cases in which a greater number of explanatory factors are introduced, this would negatively affect the transparency and interpretability of the fuzzy inference system, and, consequently, its replication (Ojha et al 2019).…”

“…As an alternative methodology, the fuzzy theory introduced by Zadeh (1965) provides a logical approach that is capable of dealing with complex systems, such as those observed in forest fire events that have spatial and temporal variability, as well as subjectivity, and providing an adequate mathematical treatment (Zadeh 1965;Araya-Muñoz et al 2017;Bressane et al 2020;Fernandes et al 2023). Recent environmental applications that use the fuzzy approach integrated with GIS have shown advantages over traditional techniques in evaluating several phenomena, such as susceptibility to flooding (Sahana and Patel, 2019), landslides (Nwazelibe et al 2023), drought (Nikolova et al 2021), and soil erosion (Souza et al 2019), and anthropic impact on watersheds (Lopes et al 2021).…”

Forest fires are global phenomena that pose an accelerating threat to ecosystems, affect the population life quality and contribute to climate change. The mapping of fire susceptibility provides proper direction for mitigating measures for these events. However, predicting their occurrence and scope is complicated since many of their causes are related to human practices and climatological variations. To predict fire occurrences, this study applies a fuzzy inference system methodology implemented in R software and using triangular and trapezoidal functions that comprise four input parameters (temperature, rainfall, distance from highways, and land use and occupation) obtained from remote sensing data and processed through GIS environment. The fuzzy system classified 63.27% of the study area as having high and very high fire susceptibility. The high density of fire occurrences in these classes shows the high precision of the proposed model, which was confirmed by the area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.879. The application of the fuzzy system using two extreme climate events (rainy summer and dry summer) showed that the model is highly responsive to temperature and rainfall variations, which was verified by the sensitivity analysis. The results obtained with the system can assist in decision-making for appropriate firefighting actions in the region.
