ABSTRACT

It is usually hard for unfamiliar partners to rapidly 'break the ice' in the early stage of relationship establishment, which hinders the development of relationship and even affects the team productivity. To solve this problem, we proposed a collaborative serious game for icebreaking by combining immersive virtual reality (VR) with brain-computer interface based on the team flow framework. We designed a multiplayer collaboration task with the theme of fighting COVID-19 and proposed an approach to improve empathy between team members by sharing their real-time mental state in VR;in addition, we propose an EEG-based method for dynamic evaluation and enhancement of group flow experience to achieve better team collaboration. Then, we developed a prototype system and performed a user study. Results show that our method has good ease of use and can significantly reduce the psychological distance among team members. Especially for unfamiliar partners, both functions of mental state sharing and group flow regulation enhancement can significantly reduce the psychological distance. © 2023 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) method is highly efficient for the simulation of diffraction efficiency and field distribution patterns in periodic structures and textured optoelectronic devices. GPU has been increasingly used in complex scientific problems such as climate simulation and the latest Covid-19 spread model. In this paper, we break down the RCWA simulation problem to key computational steps (eigensystem solution, matrix inversion/multiplication) and investigate speed performance provided by optimized linear algebra GPU libraries in comparison to multithreaded Intel MKL CPU library running on IRIDIS 5 supercomputer (1 NVIDIA v100 GPU and 40 Intel Xeon Gold 6138 cores CPU). Our work shows that GPU outperforms CPU significantly for all required steps. Eigensystem solution becomes 60% faster, Matrix inversion improves with size achieving 8x faster for large matrixes. Most significantly, matrix multiplication becomes 40x faster for small and 5x faster for large matrix sizes. © 2023 SPIE.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: to analyze the ability of the National Health Insurance mobile service quality to build BPJS brand image and public trust to increase intention to use online services during the Covid period. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon in the form of complaints on the quality of online services and research gaps on the effect of service quality on the intention to use online services. Brand image and trust are offered as a mediation for gaps in previous research results. Design/ methodology/approach: The type of research is quantitative, using a pre-existing measurement scale related to mobile service quality, brand image, trust and intention. Involving a sample of 140 BPJS users during the Covid pandemic. It is difficult to identify the population size, the sample size is determined by the formulation of a constant value of 5 multiplied by 28 indicators. The technique of selecting respondents was carried out by means of non-probability random sampling. PLS SEM model as an analysis tool. Findings: The results of this study indicate that the direct relationship of mobile service quality on brand image, trust and intention shows significant positive results. Furthermore, the influence of brand image on trust shows significant results. The influence of brand image and trust on intention is also found to be significantly positive. Practical/implications: although management policies encourage customers to use mobile services more, the public still considers the trustworthy image of BPJS to develop their intention to use mobile application services. The government must remain consistent in ensuring that the quality of mobile service is not compromised because the implications for BPJS image and public trust are at stake. Through the person in charge at BPJS, the government must continue to consistently evaluate and improve the system and educate the public regarding this BPJS health mobile service system. Originality/value: This research offers new insights, filling gaps in studies on national health insurance mobile services during the Covid-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has given people much free time. With this, the researchers want to encourage these people to read instead of scrolling through social media. A barrier to reading for many people is not knowing what to read and disinterest in popular books that they would find when they search online. The existing websites that encourage book reading rely on social networking for their recommendations, while the collaborative filtering algorithms applied to books do not exist in the mobile application form. Readwell is a book recommender Android app with a Point-of-Sales System created using Java, Python, and SQLite databases. The information regarding the books was web scraped from the Goodreads website. It aims to apply the more efficient collaborative filtering algorithm to an accessible mobile application that allows users to directly buy the books they are interested in, thus encouraging the reading and buying of books. The researchers created unit test cases to validate the different functionalities of the application. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

By the beginning of 2020, the illness had been named as COVID-19, which had spread due to its extreme severity affecting multiple industries and sectors throughout the world. To protect the public's health and safety, the Philippine government has established a number of quarantine regulations and travel restrictions in reaction to the current COVID-19 outbreak. Nonetheless, the ILO predicted that the pandemic would initially disrupt the economy and labor markets, affecting 11 million employees, or around 25% of the workforce in the Philippines. Therefore, the government continues to urge employers of local companies and enterprises to use alternative work plans, such as a WFH - work-from-home operation in accordance with the established policies. In line with the concept of telework, several studies have already been carried out, though some were declared inconclusive and require additional study. Hence, in this research, a mobile application was created to evaluate the employee's telework capability assessment using a Fuzzy-based model which utilizes Google AppSheet, Apps Script, and Sheets. The developed mobile application is able to provide capacity evaluation utilizing the four key input variables, which are also reasonably characterized for potential telecommuting cost evaluation. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

As intelligent driving vehicles came out of concept into people’s life, the combination of safe driving and artificial intelligence becomes the new direction of future transportation development. Autonomous driving technology is developing based on control algorithms and model recognitions. In this paper, a cloud-based interconnected multi-sensor fusion autonomous vehicle system is proposed that uses deep learning (YOLOv4) and improved ORB algorithms to identify pedestrians, vehicles, and various traffic signs. A cloud-based interactive system is built to enable vehicle owners to master the situation of their vehicles at any time. In order to meet multiple application of automatic driving vehicles, the environment perception technology of multi-sensor fusion processing has broadened the uses of automatic driving vehicles by being equipped with automatic speech recognition (ASR), vehicle following mode and road patrol mode. These functions enable automatic driving to be used in applications such as agricultural irrigation, road firefighting and contactless delivery under new coronavirus outbreaks. Finally, using the embedded system equipment, an intelligent car was built for experimental verification, and the overall recognition accuracy of the system was over 96%. Author

The problem of introducing online learning is becoming more and more popular in our society. Due to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, there is an urgent need for the transition of educational institutions to online learning, so this paper will help people not make mistakes in the process and afterward. The paper's primary purpose is to investigate the effectiveness of machine learning tools that can solve the problem of assessing student adaptation to online learning. These tools include intelligent methods and models, such as classification techniques and neural networks. This work uses data from an online survey of students at different levels: school, college, and university. The survey consists of questions such as gender, age, level of education, whether the student is in the city, class duration, quality of Internet connection, government/non-government educational institution, availability of virtual learning environment, whether the student is familiar with IT, financial conditions, type of Internet connection, a device used for studying, etc. To obtain the results on the effectiveness of online education were used the following machine learning algorithms and models: Random Forest (RF), Extra Trees (ET), Extreme, Light, and Simple Gradient Boosting (GB), Decision Trees (DT), K-neighbors (K-mean), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naїve Bayes (NB) classifier and others. An intelligent neural network model (NNM) was built to address the main issue. © 2023 Copyright for this paper by its authors.

ABSTRACT

The study aims to evaluate the impact of the experience of using cloud computing on the development of accounting education in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in light of the Corona pandemic. To achieve this goal, the researchers relied on reviewing previous literature and conducting interviews with a number of accounting professors and students in universities in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in order to develop a proposed framework for developing accounting education programs using both traditional education and cloud-based education. During the Corona pandemic, educational institutions in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries relied on the interactive learning management system such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Modal. to support the e-learning process, because these systems enable them to interact with their students and meet their needs, which made studying easier. These systems help Students acquire the skill of self-learning, organizing and managing time. In addition, improving the efficiency of the lecturer in managing his time, due to the decrease in the weekly time needed for lecture and preparation, and helping to social distance between students and the lecturer. On the other hand, students suffered from not accepting e-learning due to the difficulty of understanding lectures, and the lack of skills and experience of some professors and students in the field of e-learning due to the familiarity with traditional education. In addition, the professors suffered from the difficulty of evaluating students under this system. Through personal interviews with a number of accounting professors and students in universities in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the researchers found that the previous obstacles were at a great level at the beginning of the application of e-learning through cloud computing applications, but the level of these obstacles has decreased over time as professors and students gradually acquired teaching skills at the same time, many technical problems were solved. Despite some advantages achieved through the transition to accounting education based on cloud computing, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries decided to return completely to traditional education. Therefore, the GCC countries should draw on the advantages that have been achieved from e-learning with a return to traditional education and study the possibility of adopting hybrid accounting education. Therefore, the researchers tried to propose a framework for the development of hybrid accounting education programs, based on several basic components that represent the elements of the educational process represented in the material and technological capabilities, the preparation and preparation of human elements (professor, student, technicians and administrators) and the teaching process (commitment to international accounting education standards, the development of accounting curricula and educational aids, And the use of different teaching styles, and the development of methods of evaluating students). © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

ABSTRACT

Due to improvements in information and communication technology and growth of sensor technologies, Internet of Things is now widely used in medical field for optimal resource management and ubiquitous sensing. In hospitals, many IoT devices are linked together via gateways. Importance of gateways in modernization of hospitals cannot be overstated, but their centralized nature exposes them to a variety of security threats, including integrity, certification, and availability. Block chain technology for level monitoring in oxygen cylinders is a scattered record containing the data related to oxygen levels in the cylinder, patient's name, patient's ID number, patient's medical history, and all connected information carried out and distributed among the hospitals (nodes) present in the locality (network). Designing an oxygen level monitoring technique in an oxygen cylinder used as the support system for COVID-19-affected patients is a challenging task. Monitoring the level of oxygen in the cylinders is very important because they are used for saving the lives of the patients suffering from COVID-19. Not only the COVID-19 patients are dependent on this system, but this system will also be helpful for other patients who require oxygen support. The present scenario many COVID-19 hospitalized patients rely upon oxygen supply through oxygen cylinders and manual monitoring of oxygen levels in these cylinders has become a challenging task for the healthcare professionals due to overcrowding. If this level monitoring of oxygen cylinders are automated and developed as a mobile App, it would be of great use to the medical field, saving the lives of the patients who are left unmonitored during this pandemic. This proposal is entitled to develop a system to measure oxygen level using a smartphone App which will send instantaneous values about the level of the oxygen inside the cylinder. Pressure sensors and load cell are fitted to the oxygen cylinders, which will measure the oxygen content inside the cylinder in terms of the pressure and weight. The pressure sensors and load cells are connected to the Arduino board and are programmed to display the actual level of oxygen inside the cylinder in terms of numerical values. A beep sound is generated as an indicator to caution the nurses and attendants of the patients regarding the level of the oxygen inside the cylinder when it is only 15% of the total oxygen level in the cylinder in correlation to the pressure and weight. The signal with respect to the level corresponding to the measured pressure and weight of the cylinder is further transmitted to the monitoring station through Global System for Mobile communication (GSM). Graphical display is used at monitoring end to indicate the level of oxygen inside all oxygen cylinders to facilitate actions like 100% full, 80% full, 60% full, 40% full, 20% full which states that either the oxygen cylinder is in good condition, or requires a replacement of empty cylinders with filled ones in correlation to the pressure and weight being sensed by the sensors. The levels of the oxygen monitored inside the cylinder and other related data can also be stored on a cloud storage which will facilitate the retrieval of the status at any point of time, as when required by the physicians and nurses. These results reported, are valued in monitoring the level of the oxygen cylinder remotely connected to the patients, affected by COVID-19, using a smartphone App. This mobile phone App is an effective tool for investigating the oxygen cylinder level used as a life-support system for COVID-19-affected patients. A virtual model of the partial system is developed using TINKER CAD simulation package. In real time, the sensor data analysis with cloud computing will be deployed to detect and track the level of the oxygen cylinders. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore university students' continuous intention toward online learning during COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 120 students enrolled in online learning were surveyed to collect their perception of an extended model by adding task value to the expectation-confirmation model. Structural equation modeling was employed to verify the hypotheses proposed in this study. The results indicated that task value and technology usefulness were significant predictors of students' continuous intention toward online learning. More specifically, technology usefulness had a direct impact on students' continuous intention, while students' perceived task value played an indirect role in the prediction of their continuous intention. However, the impacts of both confirmation and satisfaction were not statistically significant on students' continuous intention. The results suggest that practitioners and researchers should pay special attention to the technological usefulness of online learning environments and task value, especially task value, in order to enhance students' retention of online learning. This study would contribute to implications to better design and implement online learning. © 2023 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

During the formation of medical images, they are easily disturbed by factors such as acquisition devices and tissue backgrounds, causing problems such as blurred image backgrounds and difficulty in differentiation. In this paper, we combine the HarDNet module and the multi-coding attention mechanism module to optimize the two stages of encoding and decoding to improve the model segmentation performance. In the encoding stage, the HarDNet module extracts medical image feature information to improve the segmentation network operation speed. In the decoding stage, the multi-coding attention module is used to extract both the position feature information and channel feature information of the image to improve the model segmentation effect. Finally, to improve the segmentation accuracy of small targets, the use of Cross Entropy and Dice combination function is proposed as the loss function of this algorithm. The algorithm has experimented on three different types of medical datasets, Kvasir-SEG, ISIC2018, and COVID-19CT. The values of JS were 0.7189, 0.7702, 0.9895, ACC were 0.8964, 0.9491, 0.9965, SENS were 0.7634, 0.8204, 0.9976, PRE were 0.9214, 0.9504, 0.9931. The experimental results showed that the model proposed in this paper achieved excellent segmentation results in all the above evaluation indexes, which can effectively assist doctors to diagnose related diseases quickly and improve the speed of diagnosis and patients’quality of life.

ABSTRACT

The pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 has shown weakness and threats in various fields of human activity. In turn, the World Health Organization has recommended different preventive measures to decrease the spreading of coronavirus. Nonetheless, the world community ought to be ready for worldwide pandemics in the closest future. One of the most productive approaches to prevent spreading the virus is still using a face mask. This case has required staff who would verify visitors in public areas to wear masks. The aim of this paper was to identify persons remotely who wore masks or not, and also inform the personnel about the status through the message queuing telemetry transport as soon as possible using the edge computing paradigm. To solve this problem, we proposed to use the Raspberry Pi with a camera as an edge device, as well as the TensorFlow framework for pre-processing data at the edge. The offered system is developed as a system that could be introduced into the entrance of public areas. Experimental results have shown that the proposed approach was able to optimize network traffic and detect persons without masks. This study can be applied to various closed and public areas for monitoring situations. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 condition had a substantial impact on the education sector, corporate sector and even the life of individual. With this pandemic situation e-learning/distance learning has become certain in the education sector. In spite of being beneficial to students and teachers, its efficacy in the education domain depends on several factors such as handiness of ICT devices in various socio economic groups of people and accessible internet facility. To analyze the effectiveness of this new system of e learning Sentiment Analysis plays a predominant role in identifying the user's perception. This paper focus on identifying opinions of social media users i.e. Twitter on the most prevailing issue of online learning. To analyze the subjectivity and polarity of the dynamic tweets extracted from Twitter the proposed study adopts TextBlob. As Machine Learning (ML) models and techniques manifests superior accuracy and efficacy in opinion classification, the proposed solution uses, TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) as feature extraction technique to build and evaluate the model. This manuscript analyses the performance of Multinomial Naive Bayes Classifier, DecisionTreeClassifier, SVC and MLP Classifier with respect to performance measure as Accuracy. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

Cybersecurity is an increasingly important factor in consumer attitudes toward online shopping. Online shopping has become an essential part of our lives in this digital era. As the popularity of online and e-commerce shopping continues to grow, so does the potential for cyber threats and attacks. As more and more consumers turn to online shopping, cyber threats such as hacking, identity theft, and credit card fraud have become more frequent. Therefore, understanding the factors of cybersecurity that affect consumer attitude is essential to build trust and creating a safe and sound shopping environment. This research explores the factors of cybersecurity that affect consumers' attitudes to shopping online and uses a survey to test several hypotheses related to influential cyber factors. Bangladesh is a developing country in Southeast Asia, and like many other countries, has experienced an increase in cyber threats and attacks in recent years. Consumers in Bangladesh face many of the same cyber threats, such as phasing attacks, malware, data breach, and other types of cyber security threats over online shopping. As a result of these cyber threats, online consumers are increasingly concerned about online security risks which may impact their willingness to engage in online shopping. Therefore, it is essential to identify critical factors of cyber security that impact consumers's attitudes toward online shopping to mitigate cyber risk and improve consumer trust in online shopping. This paper provides the result of a research study that will provide a better understanding of factors that influence consumer's trust and engagement with online and E-commerce platforms in Bangladesh) . © 2023 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

This study discusses the development of the intellectual property (IP) marketplace model based on mobile location-aware computing. Referring to statistics released by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property, there has been a growth in the number of intellectual property rights (IPR) applications in recent years, even during the Covid-19 pandemic. On the other hand, after IPR protection, the commercialization of IPR is one of the pillars of the IP system. Nevertheless, research institutions such as LIPI/BRIN indicate that the potential for commercializing IPR is still low. Furthermore, the opportunity is that cellular networks have covered almost all parts of Indonesia, and there has been significant growth in smartphone users. The method utilized in this research is prototyping. This research results from an IP marketplace model based on mobile location-aware computing in Indonesia. Using the smartphone user's location, contextual IPR information from the user's location related to IPR will enter their smartphone. The experimental results indicate that the application can display a list of IPR information according to the smartphone user's location. Furthermore, the search feature can forage IPR listing information based on user queries. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT

Access and use of computer-based educational technology within K-12 schools have been steadily increasing since the 1980s (Cuban, 1993;Delgado et al., 2015;Penuel, 2006), including more school districts providing every student with a device (1:1) after the year 2000 (Gray & Lewis, 2021;Harper & Milman, 2016;Penuel, 2006;Zheng et al., 2016). Despite this steady increase in devices, information systems, and learning platforms within schools, growth of information technology (IT) staff positions has not grown proportionally with technology and has resulted in a staff capacity issue for district technology departments (CoSN, 2021;Gao & Murphy, 2016;Kentucky Department of Education, 2017). This issue was exacerbated by the emergency switch to distance learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which relied on devices and online systems for learning to continue and further strained the technology departments (CoSN, 2022a, 2022b;Rauf, 2020;White, 2020).Since computers were introduced to these educational institutions, schools and districts have positioned students as technical and pedagogical supports for educational technology (National School Boards Association, 2002;Van Eck et al., 2001). Commonly known as student tech teams (STTs), this type of program is still frequent today within schools and there is a wealth of practitioner-created resources on the topic. Yet, studies on these programs are absent from the decades of research on technology integration within K-12 schools (Peterson & Scharber, 2017).This dissertation was designed to fill this void within the literature, provide a foundational understanding of STTs within K-12 educational technology initiatives, and identify practical strategies for school educators and leaders. Using a philosophically pragmatic lens and an ecological framework (Zhao & Frank, 2003), this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011) explored the following research questions:* How are student technology teams structured within K-12 school ecosystems?* What is the role of student technology teams within K-12 technology integration initiatives?Results from the study indicated that STTs are structured as work- and project-based courses, assistantships, and extracurriculars that can support the technical and instructional needs of staff and students within a school or district environment. STTs also provide opportunities for students to collaborate and create by tinkering with technologies and developing products that interest them while building their digital literacy skills. No two STTs are structured the same;however, staff and students' technical and instructional needs are common programmatic focus areas across STT environments.The role of STTs within K-12 technology integration initiatives is to give students autonomy, unique experiences, and opportunities to learn while serving the school and/or district community. The role of STT, as well as the benefit to its student members, is shaped by the coaches, tech department, and administrators' intentionality and mindset related to the capacity of students. Secondly, the STT's role is also shaped by the school and district's technology, schedules, and location. The findings of this study contribute to and extend the current understanding of educational technology initiatives, student tech teams, computing education in schools, and ecological framing of educational technologies.

ABSTRACT

We explore here the systems-based regulatory mechanisms that determine human blood pressure patterns. This in the context of the reported negative association between hypertension and COVID-19 disease. We are particularly interested in the key role that plays angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), one of the first identified receptors that enable the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 virus into a cell. Taking into account the two main systems involved in the regulation of blood pressure, that is, the Renin-Angiotensin system and the Kallikrein-Kinin system, we follow a Bottom-Up systems biology modeling approach in order to built the discrete Boolean model of the gene regulatory network that underlies both the typical hypertensive phenotype and the hypotensive/normotensive phenotype. These phenotypes correspond to the dynamic attractors of the regulatory network modeled on the basis of publicly available experimental information. Our model recovers the observed phenotypes and shows the key role played by the inflammatory response in the emergence of hypertension.
