TumTá and Pisada

This paper presents the development process of TumTá, a wearable Digital Dance and Music Instrument that triggers sound samples from foot stomps and Pisada, a dance-enabled MIDI pedalboard. It was developed between 2012 and 2017 for the use of Helder Vasconcelos, a dancer and musician formed by the traditions of Cavalo Marinho and Maracatu Rural from Pernambuco, Brazil. The design of this instrument was inspired by traditional instruments like the Zabumba and by the gestural vocabulary from Cavalo Marinho, to make music and dance at the same time. The development process of this instrument is described in the three prototyping phases conducted by three approaches: building blocks, artisanal, and digital fabrication. We analyze the process of designing digital technology inspired by Brazilian traditions, present the lessons learned, and discuss future works.
Research on a component characteristic adaptive correction method for variable cycle engines

Abstract There is inevitably a performance deviation between an engine model and an actual engine that is influenced by unpredictable factors such as the unsuspected environmental conditions and the natural performance degradation in the process of use. Because the engine model precision largely depends on the accuracies of the component maps, it is possible to revise the engine model to determine a better trend for the engine performance from recorded measurements by adjusting the maps. This paper presents a new method for updating the variable geometry component maps of a variable cycle engine (VCE) by using a set of scaling factors estimated with the cubature Kalman filter (CKF). A mapping function is created between the scaling factors and the component characteristic scaling coefficients for the adjustments of the maps. The proposed method is applied to a VCE model according to the VCE benchmark steady-state performance data. The results show that the maximum simulation error of the engine steady-state model decreases from 5.33 to 0.93%, and the CKF-based adaptation method provides a much faster computing rate than the particle swarm optimization (PSO) based adaptation method, which verifies the effectiveness and engineering applicability of the variable geometry characteristic adaptive correction method.

DISTANCE LEARNING OF «HISTORY OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY FOREIGN LITERATURE» COURSE IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC: EDUCATORS’ EXPERIENCES

The paper deals with the peculiarities of the educational process in higher education institutions in a distance learning environment. The experience of teaching “History of Nineteenth-Century Foreign Literature” e-course at the Faculty of Philology and Journalism of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University under pandemic conditions has been presented. It has been shown that under quarantine restrictions, distance learning is the most appropriate and effective form of training. It has been proved that the efficiency of distance learning increases with the use of e-courses, developed on MOODLE digital learning platform. The specificity of structuring the electronic course “History of Nineteenth-Century Foreign Literature”, taking into account the peculiarities of a professional training profile of a philology student, has been revealed. The study has demonstrated that Generation Z students prefer creative, atypical and clearly structured educational material, which motivates them to independent learning, activates their intellectual potential, forms the skills of original approach to the literary and artistic phenomena analysis, develops critical thinking and informational competence of a future philology teacher. The methods of using such tools as networking, online educational platforms and media resources in the learning process have been highlighted. Specific forms of work as completing an online dictionary of literary terms, performing individual research in the form of a creative work; writing a final test in the form of an essay, and delivering lectures - “literary battles” have been characterized. Particular attention has been focused on the performance of creative assignments and examples of students’ projects. The study has proved that under COVID-19 pandemic both groups of stakeholders – philology students and educators have benefited from using the course “History of Nineteenth-Century Foreign Literature” via the e-learning platform Moodle.
Teaching English reading skills through Oxford Reading Circle (ORC) textbook among ESL learners of grade 8

Reading skills though considered passive skill but play significant role in developing speaking and other skills among ESL learners. However, in the developmental process of reading skills, researchers have investigated the reading barriers that affect the learners’ reading comprehension. Most specifically, the lack of using effective reading teaching strategies for the enhancement of reading skills are common in early age students. Therefore, this study validates the significance of reading skills, investigates reading hurdles, examines the reading strategies used by teachers, and manipulates the role of the Oxford Reading Circle book grade 8 in the development and enhancement of reading proficiency among ESL learners. The experimental design is applied for this research on randomly selected 50 students. Furthermore, descriptive framework was adopted to obtain teachers’ perspectives about the textbook used as treatment in the experimental phase. The research tools developed for this study were questionnaires and tests. The obtained data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics technique and paired sample t-test in SPSS. The findings of current study demonstrate the importance of reading skills for ESL learners; explore the reading hurdles that learners have to face and determine the significant role of ORC book grade 8 on the enhancement of reading skills. The findings recommended that the teachers and English teaching contents both play crucial role in developing reading proficiency of ESL learners. It is also suggested that teachers should make use of effective pedagogical practices to develop reading skills habits and enhance reading proficiency among ESL learners.

More-than-Human Game Design:Playing in the Internet of Things

The design of objects requiring human interaction often revolves around methods such as Human Centred Design (HCD). Whilst this is beneficial in many cases, contemporary developments of technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT), which produce assemblages of interactions, lead to the view that human centred approaches can prove problematic leading to the proposal of adopting more-than-human perspectives. This paper discusses the creation of a novel board game designed to explore a more-than-human design view for IoT products and services by addressing problematic issues in relation to user data privacy and security within the IoT which arguably arise from the application of traditional HCD approaches. By embracing Object-Oriented Philosophy, The Internet of Things Board Game creates an ontographic mapping of IoT assemblages and illuminates the tiny ontologies of unique interactions occurring within these digital and physical networked spaces. Here the gameplay acts as metaphorism illustrating independent and interdependent relationships between the various ‘things’ in the network. The paper illustrates how critical game design can help develop potential new design approaches as well as enabling users to better understand the complex digital/physical assemblages they create when utilizing IoT products and services in their everyday lives.

Case Study : SR Snacks Sdn Bhd / Noor Shuhada Jamaldin

This Technology Entrepreneurship (ENT600) is an interesting subject as it can develop students’ creativity to produce or make an innovation to solve problems. To fulfill this task on this subject, I managed to interview and get some innovation from the manufacturer company named SR Snacks Sdn Bhd. This company produces many types of murukku as the main of their products. This company has been operated since 2017 and located in Ipoh, Perak.I already made some research on many online platforms about this product as I want to know more and go into details about this food. After knowing more about this product and get the information from SR Snack Sdn Bhd, I can diagnose this company with Swot Analysis. SWOT Analysis stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The problem faced by this company are workers that are lacking skill, manual machine handling which can lead to technical problems, time taken are too long to packaging the snacks, unattractive packaging and also lower marketing strategy.The solution to solve this problem is to provide the class for workers and also give rewards and incentives to the best staff of the month. Next, use an automation machine to increase the performance of the company and reducing the human resources. SR Snacks also can create a snack vacuum machine or using a zip-lock plastic bag for their packaging. Zip-lock packaging can maintain the texture and taste of the snacks even after being opened. SR Snacks company also can use laminated and colourful packaging to package their product as it will also attract the customers. Lastly, create an E-commerce to market their products.

Reconstructing z3 proofs in KeY: there and back again

One of the main factors of the increasing power of deductive verification tools are modern SMT solvers. Unfortunately, SMT solvers usually do not produce proof artifacts that could be inspected or checked. KeY is a formal platform for the deductive verification of Java programs which produces explicit, browsable proofs. SMT solvers can be driven from within KeY, but this unfortunately breaks these proof transparency intentions.

STUDIU PRIVIND ACTIVITATEA DIDACTICĂ ÎN CONTEXTUL PANDEMIC ACTUAL

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational process has undergone significant transformations. Teachers, students, lessons, additional materials, homework, school guidance and discussions displayed new ways of expression, while applications commonly used for communication became working tools. Specialists in the field of education were encouraged to identify the most appropriate scenarios for the specifics of the school and the local context, so that the training and development of students’ competences be continuous, both in accordance with specific school curricula and new ways of organizing the teaching process. The debates about the digitization of education are accentuated by the major structural problems that the Romanian educational system is facing. In many rural schools, especially, the digitization remains a difficult goal to achieve. As the Ministry of Education has recently acknowledged, more than 250,000 students today do not have access to the infrastructure needed for education during the pandemic. Without proactive measures to balance the situation, education during the pandemic is currently discriminating, instead of being an integrative solution. The present study offers a model for conducting online education in a rural school: Secondary School no. 1 in Valu lui Traian, Constanþa County. Through this, we want to show the benefits of online education, but also its limits determined, especially, by the absence of collaboration and direct communication between teachers, students and parents in a space suitable for the educational process: namely the school and the class of students.
