ABSTRACT
A rapid development in online learning systems to maintain the continuity of student education during the COVID-19 pandemic has been observed. The telecommunication technologies based on Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) are very useful and widely used to connect online learners staying remotely in jungles, forests and hilly areas where it is difficult to establish permanent infrastructure for communication. Routing protocols play a vital role in the background, which provide an uninterrupted learning session. In this context, by considering the mobile gadgets and other electronic devices as the nodes of the MANET system, it becomes quite imperative on the part of the researcher to further analyze and understand the impact of node mobility on the performance on MANET-based online learning systems in rural Indian terrain. A change in mobility can be achieved by changing the online learner's node speed during its movement or by changing the pause-time at its halt points during its random movement. Change in mobility causes link breaks between neighbor learners nodes;hence, a large number of packets drop in the network, which in other terms reduces the network performance and, simultaneously, the reliability of the online learning system. The performance of the MANET-based online platform is analyzed by taking parameters like packet delivery fraction, normalized routing load and average link break. This paper thoroughly discusses the performance variation due to change in mobility. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Zdzislaw Polkowski, Samarjeet Borah, Sambit Kumar Mishra, and Darshana Desai;individual chapters, the contributors.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a major disruption of education worldwide, affecting an estimated 1.6 million students. Classroom education has been suspended and will be replaced by e-learning online forums. In higher education, e-learning is made available through recorded lectures, and online forums become an integral part of the entire system. With this background 6G plays a vital role for online learning platforms by providing high-speed uninterrupted internet. While fifth generation (5G) dispatches are being rolled out worldwide, sixth generation (6G) dispatches have attracted important attention from both the assiduity and academia with respect to online learning. Though 6G is supposed to have more advanced capabilities than 5G, there's yet no clear description of what 6G is. A new paradigm of wireless communication, the sixth generation (6G) system, with the full support of artificial intelligence, is anticipated to be stationed between 2027 and 2030. Beyond 5G, some abecedarian issues that need to be addressed are advanced system capacity, advanced data rate, lower latency, and bettered quality of service (QoS) compared to the 5G system. This paper presents the vision of unborn 6G wireless communication and its conditions and operations. We bandy the arising technologies similar to artificial intelligence, terahertz dispatches, optic wireless technology, blockchain, three-dimensional networking, unmanned upstanding vehicle, cell free dispatches, holographic beamforming, and big data analytics that can help the 6G architecture development in guaranteeing QoS. We present the anticipated operations similar as mm-Wave and Internet of Things (IoT) with the conditions and the possible technologies for 6G communication. We also outline the possible challenges as cost, sequestration, transceiver design, and energy and exploration enterprise to reach this thing. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Zdzislaw Polkowski, Samarjeet Borah, Sambit Kumar Mishra, and Darshana Desai;individual chapters, the contributors.
ABSTRACT
Identifying COVID-19 from other populations will help us better communicate health information in the future. Studying 836 students at ITM University and it is discovered that the covid-19 vaccination is accepted by 60.4% of students whereas just 13% of non-believers did, with a further 26% undecided. Many students at ITM University expressed an interest in learning more about the dangers of not being vaccinated, regardless of their personal reasons for not doing so. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Background: Since 22 March 2020, the United Arab Emirates implemented distance learning in public and private schools and higher education institutions as a precaution to protect students from the Covid-19 pandemic. Similar trends have taken place globally, with 1.8 billion learners in 190 countries – almost half of the world’s students-affected by full or partial physical class closures as of March 2021. Currently, about 3.2 million students are undergoing higher education fully online. Apart from exacerbating pre-existing educational disparities by further limiting educational opportunities for vulnerable youth, economic and psycho-social impacts of the pandemic create additional educational and wellbeing obstacles for learners. Despite commendable efforts to provide digital infrastructure and update digital teaching skills of teachers to facilitate online learning in many nations, a large proportion of learners, and a significant percentage of lecturers and university administrators, remain sceptical about the suitability of online learning to promote engagement with peers and faculty, as well as facilitate fair student assessments. Objective: This study examines three determinants of effective delivery of online university learning activities – overcoming online learning hesitancy, developing smart campuses and promoting smart learning. Methods: Both Critical Review and Case Study approaches were adopted. Pertinent literature on the impacts of rapid transition to online learning following the Covid-19 pandemic were examined. The authors coined the term “online learning hesitancy” to describe suboptimal engagement with, and support for, online learning by university students, lecturers and university administrators. Smart Campus and Smart learning activities at Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University were utilised as case study to illustrate how redesign of campus and learning activities for online mode significantly reduce online learning hesitancy and optimise learning online. Findings: Online learning hesitancy encumbers learning activities by decreasing the motivation of students to stay engaged with learning activities, decreasing the motivation of lecturers to optimise online presence and develop adequate learning materials, and decreasing university authorities’ commitment to accredit tertiary online programs or invest in technologies for facilitating learning. Importantly, youth’s views on the obstacles posed by online learning to achieving their goals of strong social networking, acculturation, migration and accessing post-graduation working rights in different nations Building smart university campuses and investing in smart learning techniques will help address online learning hesitancy while optimising the potential of contemporary universities to effectively achieve their academic goals. Conclusions: Universities need to seize the opportunity brought about by the Covid-19 crisis to re-imagine education and accelerate changes in technology mediated teaching and learning. Concurrently, the multi-faceted determinants of online learning hesitancy need to be addressed to optimise smart learning among youth. Smart campuses, smart learning approaches, and addressing social and migration-related constraints perceived by a large section of youth transitioning from physical classes to online learning are key parts of the solution. © RJ4All 2022.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Global Pandemic COVID-19 caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2(SARS COV 2) spreading rapidly and become a serious challenge for the entire healthcare profession. It results in a significant burden on the human race. There is no effective treatment so far discovered for the SARS CO V 2. As the modified strain of the virus is new the research on various aspect like pathogenesis, prognosis, etc are limited due to lack of time and rapidly spreading. The best measure is prevention by maintaining social distancing and other hygienic measures.
