Career centers in the system of vocational education: problems of functioning and ways of their solution

There is noted in the article, that at the modern stage of civilization development, complicated by processes of digitalization and technologization of society, human self-realization as a person, professional, competitive specialist is possible only at the expanse of constant improvement of professionally important qualities, widening of professional knowledge, development of correspondent abilities and skills (depending on specificity of a profession, requirements to the professional activity, peculiarities of actions that is concrete labor circumstances). In this connection a special importance is inherent to centers of vocational career, created at bases of vocational and higher educational institutions, which activity is oriented mainly on forming adequate understandings about conditions and prospects of own career at the modern labor market in future specialists. All the aforesaid conditioned a necessity to conduct a special study. That is why the special attention in the publication is paid to the elucidation of information-analytic information, obtained as a result of studying the real condition of the activity of consulting centers, created at bases of vocational (vocational-technical) educational institutions. There are revealed positive sides and controversial moments of the activity of such structural subdivisions at educational institutions. There are analyzed actual functions of vocational career consulting centers at educational institutions: evaluative-diagnostic, integrative-coordinating, informative-stimulating, learning-communicative and regulative, socialization-consulting. The integral realization of these functions provides resolution of controversies of career consulting of the studying youth, namely mismatch between: ideal understanding and real profile of a concrete profession or specialty, subjective comprehension and ignoring of career orientations by the youth and also allow students to correct their self-appreciation of individual-personal qualities. There are offered constructive ways of solving problems, appearing in the functioning process of vocational career consulting centers at vocational educational institutions
Library 5.0

The library as pioneer in the development of study competencies for individual student retention and support. &#x0D; At KEA (Copenhagen School of Design and Technology), we have implemented a newly developed study competencies concept throughout our study programmes. The concept is designed and developed by the library staff and aims to support the individual student during the full length of his/her course of study. Our focus is on student centered learning (SCL), retention, completion and matching the complex requirements of the work place of tomorrow. &#x0D; In order to actively support the transformation from pupil to student, we have developed and implemented the concept “Study competencies – study-supporting activities”. Thus, enabling our students to complete their studies, whilst contributing to academically stronger graduates. &#x0D; Specifically, we are providing our students with tools and techniques to manage large amounts of information, understand academic language, structure their time, increase reading speed, apply new knowledge/trends and master the art of problem solving. In short, all essential study techniques and knowledge competencies whilst studying, but also in order to strengthen the students’ transition to a future workplace environment. &#x0D; The subjects are divided into modules. Each module includes learning objectives, teaching descriptions, videos, assignments and quizzes. All modules and tools are digitally accessible anytime anywhere for both faculty and students. As part of the concept, we have also developed an app – 5 korte (5 short) with five short touchdowns on source criticism, note taking, study reading, time management and research. &#x0D; The concept is scalable, integrated in the curriculum and follows a progression that supports the student throughout the course of study. We have based our method on co-creation and iterative processes involving faculty and students throughout the entire development process.
Teaching and Learning Electronic Music Composition

In this essay, composer Joachim Heintz presents his ideas and pedagogical strategies on teaching electronic music composition, specially within the current model found in universities around the globe. One of the important aspects investigated by Heintz is the complexity between teaching music composition and programming / instrument design, as well as the roles of professor and student (and what it means today). Through an organic and didactical methodology, Heintz describes his thoughts on teaching electronic music according to the German reality in universities and Hochschule: collective weekly seminar meetings and individual one-hour lessons.

A trust-based communities for collaborative filtering recommendation

Every company, considers documentation as the engine of its productivity. Recommendation systems allow the diffusion of knowledge between experts and operators in an efficient and a fast manner [1]. The goal of a trust-based recommendation system is to generate personalized recommendations by aggregating the opinions of users in the trust group [2]. In this paper, we present new modelling approach to build trust communities for recommending relevant documents to industrial operators based on collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm and Hierarchical Ascending Classification (HAC) method. The idea is that documents recommendation depends not only on operators� needs and preferences but also on the trust relationships between these latter. Based on this idea, we suggest reliable documents recommendation tool in the industrial environment where operators can express their preferences towards a set of documents. An analysis of trust among operators within a group is performed to identify trusted operators. The groups of operators are formed by the HAC method. This approach is based mainly on the trust model that calculates the importance of a user within his group according to three metrics: his implicit self-confidence, his interests, and his activity score. This model allows a significant reduction of recommendation time by taking into account the group of trusted operators to predict new reliable recommendation.
Resourcing the Information Literacy Space

Teachers and students are important stakeholders in the information literacy (IL) space. Yet, talking about IL beyond the library can be like speaking a foreign language or engaging with a narrow ‘research skills’ focus. Our project explored what the information literacy space we inhabit looks like and sought ways to develop a common language. We see this space as capturing the unique contribution libraries and librarians, disciplines and teachers, digital information ecosystems and tools, and institutional learning contexts have on creating capable, critical, information literate learners.&#x0D; As part of this project, we define IL as involving the processes, strategies, skills, competencies, expertise and ways of thinking which enable individuals to engage with information to learn across a range of platforms (both digital and traditional learning environments), to transform the known, and discover the unknown.&#x0D; In this presentation, I will share three key resources developed to extend the IL conversation into secondary school and tertiary sector classrooms and libraries within this project: &#x0D; &#x0D; The Feekery Information Literacy Model – This model captures different literacies underpinned by IL within cross-sector learning contexts. It is designed to foster a shared understanding of IL. &#x0D; The ‘Are You Ready’ Self-awareness Rubric - This tool enables students to self-assess their readiness for tertiary study, teachers to develop appropriate resources and curricula, and researchers to measure the success of teachers’ literacy strategies in terms of student learning.&#x0D; The Rauru Whakarare Evaluation Framework – An evaluation approach using indigenous knowledge to critique and engage deeply with information. It supports teachers, students and librarians to explore information quality and its contribution to learning. &#x0D; &#x0D; I will share insights into the resources’ development, their use during our collaborative partnership project, and insights about how these resources supported teachers, librarians, and students to actively engage in the information literacy space.

The following degree project aims to develop a multimedia system that encourages learning with a deep focus on the students of the subject Multimedia Systems Architecture (ASM). This is because some topics seen in class by students arepartially forgotten after a relatively short period of time.The methodology used during this project was User Centered Design (DCU), where an analysis of the target audience was started, a user profile was established that would define important aspects in the development of the system, taking as relevantdata, hobbies, motivations and the socio-economic stratum of the users; the previous thing to define the requirements of the project. Subsequently, the system was designed and implemented, from which emerged models that would pass through avalidation with users.As a result, a multimedia system composed of four components was obtained, which would respectively be: a platform, a web application, a mobile application and tangible objects / interfaces; system that in order to verify the fulfillment of its purpose, was defined to the teaching of the topic Utilitarian Applications of the ASM subject.Three tests were carried out to validate the functionality of the system, the first with 15 students, the second with 15 students and the third with 6 students, where a part of the students would learn the subject of Utilitarian Applications using the system,while the others would use a reading. In order to compare their results, a sequence of evaluations was conducted to determine the retention and performance of the subject over time by the students.These tests yielded data that allowed to corroborate that the system fulfills its purpose, since the students that used it demonstrate a better performance and retentive knowledge of the topic Utilitarian Applications in front of the students whodid not use the system
The History and Development of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging

Libraries, which take seriously the responsibility to facilitate discovery and delivery of information resources for their patrons, have historically found cataloging costly and cumbersome. In the early 1970s, a series of initiatives was undertaken to develop more cooperative and expeditious approaches to reducing the cost of cataloging, while improving its quality. These initiatives culminated in the formation of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging. This article is a brief history of how the Program came to be, its structure, and what might be in store for it in the future.

Gold and Bitcoin Hedging against 10 Exchange Returns

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to examine gold and bitcoin hedging against 10 exchange returns. Design/Methodology/Approach - This study collected financial data on exchange, gold, and bitcoin from FRB, St. Louis. A multiple Vector-BEKK regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings - First, strong negative effects from exchange markets onto gold were found to exist in the EU, Switzerland, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and Korea, while there were weak effects in the UK. Bitcoin shows the weak hedging against all markets. Second, the paper also revealed that in EU, the cross-shock term significantly decreased gold volatility, but not bitcoin volatility, while in Japan it decreased bitcoin volatility. The significantly negative asymmetries in gold, but insignificant asymmetries in bitcoin, were found in most exchange markets. Exchange market volatility increases gold volatility in Japan while it decreased in the Indian and Korean markets. Cross-terms among three variables with bi-directional causality are valuable. Research Implications or Originality - The study of the hedging of gold and bitcoin against various exchanges together shows that bi-variate models are useful to reconfirm the strong hedging of gold. Bitcoin, if well prepared to be immune to its deficiencies, might be very carefully used, but not at a magnitude equal to gold as a hedge against exchange. The results may enhance strategic risk management.

On the Efficiency of Multiple Linear Regression over Artificial Neural Network Models

There has been a considerable and continuous interest to develop models for rapid and accurate modeling of students’ academic performances. In this study, an Artificial Neural Network model (ANNm) and a Multiple Linear Regression model (MLRm) were used to model the academic performance of university students. The accuracy of the models was judged by model evaluation criteria like and The modeling ability of the developed ANN model architecture was compared with a MLR model using the same training data sets. The squared regression coefficients of prediction for MLR and ANN models were 0.746 and 0.893, respectively. The results revealed that ANN model proved more accurate in modeling the data set, as compared with MLR model. This was because ANN model had its as against the traditional model which it’s was 0.182. Based on the results of this study, ANN model could be used as a promising approach for rapid modeling and prediction in the academic fields.

Bina Darma University is an educational institution that has the obligation to provide leave rights for its employees and lecturers. For the process of implementing, managing, calculating, replacing leave will be the task of the Directorate of Human Resources (DSDM). DSDM has provisions regarding rules for granting leave or permission not to work. Employees and lecturers who will apply for leave must submit the application in writing using the leave application form. The application of this manual method has several weaknesses, namely lack of efficiency, takes a long time because it has not been computerized. Also less effective in the work process, because of the many uses of paper so difficult to control the approval of the application especially if the applicant and the approver is not in the workplace location. Based on these conditions a system is needed to assist in the regulation of leave and permit applications for employees and lecturers. The method used in developing this system is the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. There are three phases in RAD namely planning, design workshops and implementation.
