Investigating Individuals’ Preferences in Determining the Functions of Smartphone Apps for Fighting Pandemics: Best-Worst Scaling Survey Study (Preprint)

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Smartphone apps have been beneficial in controlling and preventing the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a gap in research surrounding the importance of smartphone app functions from a user’s perspective. Although the insights and opinions of different stakeholders, such as policymakers and medical professionals, can influence the success of a public health policy, any strategy will face difficulty in achieving the expected effect if it is not based on a method that users can accept. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aimed to assess the importance of a hypothetical smartphone app’s functions for managing health during a pandemic based on the perspective of user preferences. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> A cross-sectional and web-based survey using the best-worst scaling (BWS) method was used to investigate the general population’s preferences for important smartphone app functions. Participants were recruited from a professional surveying company’s web-based surveying panel. The attributes of the BWS questionnaire were developed based on a robust process, including literature review, interviews, and expert discussion. A balanced incomplete block design was used to construct the choice task to ensure the effectiveness of the research design. Count analysis, conditional logit model analysis, and mixed logit analysis were used to estimate preference heterogeneity among respondents. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> The responses of 2153 participants were eligible for analysis. Nearly 55% (1192/2153) were female, and the mean age was 31.4 years. Most participants (1765/2153, 81.9%) had completed tertiary or higher education, and approximately 70% (1523/2153) were urban residents. The 3 most vital functions according to their selection were “surveillance and monitoring of infected cases,” “quick self-screening,” and “early detection of infected cases.” The mixed logit regression model identified significant heterogeneity in preferences among respondents, and stratified analysis showed that some heterogeneities varied in respondents by demographics and COVID-19–related characteristics. Participants who preferred to use the app were more likely to assign a high weight to the preventive functions than those who did not prefer to use it. Conversely, participants who showed lower willingness to use the app tended to indicate a higher preference for supportive functions than those who preferred to use it. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> This study ranks the importance of smartphone app features that provide health care services during a pandemic based on the general population’s preferences in China. It provides empirical evidence for decision-makers to develop eHealth policies and strategies that address future public health crises from a person-centered care perspective. Continued use of apps and smart investment in digital health can help improve health outcomes and reduce the burden of disease on individuals and communities. </sec>
IMPLEMENTATION OF BILINGUAL LEARNING IN EARLY CHILDREN IN KINDERGARTEN MUHAMMAD SHODIQ SUMBERDUREN

Implementation of Bilingual Learning in Early Childhood is very embedded in everyday life in anticipation of global competition. Children who are given bilingual learning from an early age will be able to compete with the outside world because they can learn foreign cultures that use English as a world language. This study aims to describe bilingual learning in early childhood at Muhammad Shodiq Sumberduren Kindergarten. Children who have two language skills or bilingualism will be able to master a second language such as mastering English and Arabic, or their mother tongue. The research results of bilingual learning at Muhammad Shodiq Sumberduren Kindergarten are not carried out by coercion but are carried out with fun activities such as singing and playing, as well as getting used to children's language in daily communication, the application of bilingual learning at Muhammad Shodiq Sumberduren Kindergarten Krucil Probolinggo shows that every child turns out to be able to develop language naturally. However, children's language development is also influenced by parents, the environment and the world of education, especially in learning two languages (bilingual).
Spatial and Semantic Information Enhancement for Indoor 3D Object Detection

Object detection technology is one of the key technologies for indoor service robots. However, due to the various types of objects in the indoor environment, the mutual occlusion between the objects is serious, which increases the difficulty of object detection. In view of the difficult challenges of object detection in the indoor environment, we propose an indoor three-dimensional object detection based on deep learning. Most existing 3D object detection techniques based on deep learning lack sufficient spatial and semantic information. To address this issue, the article presents an indoor 3D object detection method with enhanced spatial semantic information. This article proposes a new (Edge Convolution+) EdgeConv+, and based on it, a Shallow Spatial Information Enhancement module (SSIE) is added to Votenet. At the same time, a new attention mechanism, Convolutional Gated Non-Local+ (CGNL+), is designed to add Deep Semantic Information Enhancement module (DSIE) to Votenet. Experiments show that on the ScanNet dataset, the proposed method is 2.4% and 2.1% higher than Votenet at mAP@0.25 and mAP@0.5, respectively. Furthermore, it has strong robustness to deal with sparse point clouds
An On-Site Electronic Voting System Using Blockchain and Biometrics

Electronic voting (e-voting) improves the convenience of voting and the efficiency of vote counting. With the rise of blockchain technology, many studies have proposed e-voting systems using blockchain technology. Most of them consider the usage scenario of remote voting and pay less attention to that of voting conducted at polling stations. In view of this research gap, this study proposed a blockchain-based system for e-voting at polling stations. We designed a system process integrating blockchain technology and voter’s biometrics to prevent data tampering and imposter voting. In addition, the blockchain platform adopted in our proposed system is Hyperledger Fabric (HF). Therefore, based on the HF framework, we specified how to deploy a blockchain network customized for this study. Finally, this study provided a property analysis of the proposed system and implemented a simulation system. In conclusion, the proposed system meets the requirements e-voting from two aspects. First, in terms of technology, our system adopted blockchain, digital signature, and biometric identification to achieve eligibility and immutability. Second, in terms of system process, the roles of government agencies and inspectors are incorporated to achieve transparency, receipt-freeness and accessibility
Focused Crawler Based on Reinforcement Learning and Decaying Epsilon-Greedy Exploration Policy

In order to serve a diversified user base with a range of purposes, general search engines offer search results for a wide variety of topics and material categories on the internet. While Focused Crawlers (FC) deliver more specialized and targeted results inside particular domains or verticals, general search engines give a wider coverage of the web. For a vertical search engine, the performance of a focused crawler is extremely important, and several ways of improvement are applied. We propose an intelligent, focused crawler which uses Reinforcement Learning (RL) to prioritize the hyperlinks for long-term profit. Our implementation differs from other RL based works by encouraging learning at an early stage using a decaying ϵ-greedy policy to select the next link and hence enables the crawler to use the experience gained to improve its performance with more relevant pages. With an increase in the infertility rate all over the world, searching for information regarding the issues and details about artificial reproduction treatments available is in need by many people. Hence, we have considered infertility domain as a case study and collected web pages from scratch. We compare the performance of crawling tasks following ϵ-greedy and decaying ϵ-greedy policies. Experimental results show that crawlers following a decaying ϵ-greedy policy demonstrate better performance
