Design of a living as a service platform including shared mobility

This graduation project starts with the goal of making a mobility hub as part of living services. In the project, the service scope of a mobility hub is a community, and the service objects are residents of that community. The concept of living services in the project is defined as the living service package which includes the rental service and a series of additional shared services, such as shared space, cleaning and maintenance. Online surveys and qualitative interviews are conducted to understand how different types of users participate in shared mobility and shared living services, as well as their needs and expectations for community-scaled shared services. The results show that tenants living in shared living communities have higher demand and expectations for shared services, thus are regarded as the target users. Moreover, it is found that there is strong association between people's community life and their participation in shared services. In addition to the physical shared facilities and space, tenants expect value-added services to help them use shared services without concerns and better manage their community life. In the design phase, DUWO community is taken as an example for designing a living service concept including mobility, to support tenants' community life. The final design, DUWO community service platform, is not limited to the functional combination of shared mobility and shared living services, but also makes up for the deficiencies of DUWO's shared services in supporting services and neighborhood interaction. The platform integrates all DUWO's living services including shared mobility, and also provides tenants with neighborhood interaction and communication services. Additionally, communitybot is provided as a community service assistant, responsible for answering users' questions and providing users with suggestions and information based on their living conditions.

Arbitrary Trajectory Driving for Planar Leg/Wheel Mobile Robots using Distributed Model Predictive Control

Model predictive control (MPC) is an effective method for leg/wheel mobile robots to achieve advanced autonomous control in an extreme environment such as the Moon and the Mars. However, the calculation cost of MPC is generally high. Thus, when applying MPC to embedded CPUs used in the extreme environment, it requires the reduction of the calculation cost. In this paper, we verify the performance of a planar leg/wheel mobile robot using distributed model predictive control (DMPC) that utilizes multiple embedded CPUs. This control system realizes the real-time optimization sharing each optimal result between each embedded CPUs. Using this system, we achieve the optimal behavior based on the prediction and implement the advanced autonomous control in embedded CPUs simultaneously. To verify the effectiveness of the control system, we conducted an experimental verification using the planar leg/wheel mobile robot. We confirmed the effectiveness of the control system and the reduction of calculation cost of MPC.
Snowvision: The Promise of Algorithmic Methods in Southeastern Archaeological Research

This article presents the contexts, methods, contributions, and preliminary findings of Snowvision, a digital archaeology project developed by faculty and students at the University of South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Snowvision uses computer vision to reconstruct southeastern Native American paddle designs from the Swift Creek period, ca. 100-850 CE. In this essay, we first present the context of the Swift Creek culture of the southeastern United States, along with broader related issues in prehistoric archaeology. Then, the relevant methods from archaeology and computer vision are introduced and discussed. We also introduce World Engraved, our public-facing digital archive of sherd designs and distributions, and explain its role in our overall project. We then explore, in some level of technical detail, the ways in which our work refines existing pattern-matching algorithms used in the field of computer vision. Finally, we discuss our accomplishments and findings to date and the possibilities for future research that Snowvision provides.

The Role of Traditional Leaders in preserving indigenous languages

Traditional leadership has a wide range of responsibilities which includes making sure languages are preserved and can be used without alterations and distortions in communities, and that takes cognizance of the fact that education is at the forefront of modelling the way the communities express themselves linguistically.  The aim of the study was to investigate the role traditional leaders in preserving indigenous languages.  The used qualitative research method. The study found that social media, intermarriages, migration and the usage of slang in spoken languages affect the standard of indigenous languages that should be preserved. This study recommends that traditional leadership should develop and lead campaigns that promote self-identity and origin pride. This will help with making the schools to recognize the preservation of indigenous languages in education and intermarried people.
Organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of transprofessional competencies of master desiners

. In recent years, the economy of both Russia and the whole world has been characterized by high dynamics of development. Digitalization, automation of production, the development of smart technologies lead to a significant reduction in jobs in organizations. New high-tech enterprises need a specialist capable of performing not only narrow professional functions. They need specialists who are able to go beyond the basic functions, ready for interprofessional interaction in the process of solving complex problems. Against this background, the problem of training transprofessionals becomes urgent for the sphere of vocational education. This article discusses the problem of an interdisciplinary, integrated approach to solving professional problems, associated with the need to develop meta-competencies among master students, formed on the basis of the theory of transprofessionalism in the appropriate organizational and pedagogical conditions. The purpose of the artivle is to substantiate the organizational and pedagogical conditions conducive to the development of transprofessional competencies in master students. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was formed by the theory of professional development and transprofessionalism. The work used both theoretical (comparative analysis, analysis of scientific text and normative legal sources) and empirical research methods (included observation, content analysis of materials obtained as a result of a survey of the main participants in the educational process). Based on the data of the experimental search work, a complex of organizational and pedagogical conditions that contribute to the development of transprofessional competencies was identified and described: distance technologies, practice-oriented educational environment, multi-role activities of a teacher, reflexive technologies. The materials of the article can be useful for teachers participating in the implementation of educational master programs, as well as for the heads of educational organizations of higher education in the development of organizational and pedagogical decisions in the process of training masters-transprofessionals.

영미 문학 작품 원본과 축약본의 어휘목록 기반 비교 연구 및 교사들의 인식 조사

This study investigates the benefits of graded readers and the possibility of using them instead of the original versions of English novels in the Korean high school English elective, “Reading British and American Literature.” Literature is well-known for its role in supporting English language development but original texts are often too difficult for EFL learners. For the purposes of comparison, text files were extracted from a total of 10 books, for both the original and graded reader equivalents. A corpus analysis, using Antwordprofiler, revealed graded readers have a slightly better coverage of the three wordlists: KEBWL, GSL and BNC-COCA. Furthermore, a survey of 90 teachers revealed that they appreciated the importance of vocabulary in English education and agreed that it was beneficial for students to study English literature. However, they believed it would be difficult to successfully implement and integrate English literature into English education due to a lack of association with the CSAT, which serves as a pathway to college entrance. It is recommended that appropriate guidance and classroom resources be provided to teachers so as to increase the chances of the subject being taught effectively, and it would also be advisable to include literature questions in the CSAT.
Cryptocurrencies and Market Efficiency

The exponential growth and volatility of cryptocurrencies have led to a global interest in crypto assets and their distribution as digital wealth. Currently, cryptocurrencies and tokenised gold are the two popular digital wealth. While tokenised gold has the backing of un-mined physical gold, crypto has the support of an ideology-driven trust with the patronage of a mining process using supercomputing power that rewards coins. Thus, the acceptance of cryptocurrency as a reliable digital wealth depends to a large extent on its price consistency and the related independence. Many researchers tested the price efficiency of Bitcoin for different time periods up to 2017. In most cases, inefficiencies of the coins were inferred by them. Furthermore, many studies focused on the long-run and short-run volatility dynamics of Bitcoins leaving the altcoins almost unexamined. Therefore, a fresh look at the price efficiency and the inter-relationships of Bitcoin and the three altcoins, which altogether have a market capitalization of nearly 80 per cent, is attempted here. In all, six rigorous tests for independence or random walk are applied on the daily returns of the coins. Bitcoin returns showed a random walk in four out of the six tests, Ethereum and Ripple in three tests, and Bitcoin Cash only in two tests. The strong symptoms of weak form of efficiency found at least in the case of Bitcoin can be considered as its acceptance as a digital wealth. While the daily returns of all the four cryptos have a long-run equilibrium, the daily prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash excluding Ripple showed cointegration among themselves. Nearly 88 per cent of the short-run fluctuations in Bitcoin returns are adjusted on a daily basis. Bitcoin Granger Cause Ethereum and Ripple, a bidirectional Granger Causality is found between Ripple and Ethereum. Thus, the acceptance of cryptos, especially Bitcoin, as a digital wealth option can increase in the future.

OPTIMIZED FEATURE SELECTION TECHNIQUES BASED ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

The Branch and bound (BB) algorithm undergoes an exponential growth in feature selection as the number of features increases, which may require in the worst cases, exploring the whole tree looking for an optimal solution. This research presents an enhancement in the BB algorithm for feature selection using an approximate monotonic criteria function and High Performance Computing (HPC). The enhanced parallel sub-optimal proposed version of the BB algorithm seeking for the solution by cutting off unpromising paths and deleting multiple features at each internal tree node using tau variable. The number of deleted features in each node is determined by the tau variable value, which best specified according to the correlation between the features. KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors) classifier is used as the J function that computes the highest accuracy of the subset of features. The experiment was applied to different datasets and compared to the original BB algorithm and numerous selection methods. Although the proposed algorithm does not guarantee the selection of the optimal features subset, it is able to reach a high accuracy comparable to the optimal version of the original BB algorithm, and perhaps better than it. The results show promising results in terms of accuracy, elapsed time, and tree size.
Influencing an artificial conversational entity by information fusion

The dissertation thesis proposes a new method of using an artificial conversationalenti(later also dialogue system or chatbot) influenced by information or informationfusion. This new method could potentially serve various purposes of use like fitnessand well-being support, mental health support, mental illness treatment, and a like.To propose such a new method, one has to investigate two main topics. Whether itis possible to influence the dialogue system by information (fusion) and what kindof data needs to be collected and prepared for such influence.The dialogue system uses textual data from conversation to determine the contextof human interaction and decide about next response. It presents correct behaviorwithout external influence with data, but with the influence, the dialogue systemneeds to react without hiccups in the conversation adequately.The data which could be used for the dialogue system influencing can be a combina-tion of qualitative measure (from text extracted sentiment, from voice determinedtone, from face revealed emotion), and measured quantitative values (wearable mea-sured heartbeat, on-camera correctly performed exercise, based on EEG found focuson activity).All the research found in the relation of those two topics is described in next morethan 200 pages. It is supported with more than 500 references from former ones upto the most recent, including elementary solutions up to state of the art.

Assessing the Readability of Medicine Information Materials: The Case of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital – Mixed Approach

Background: Patients are frequently provided with medicine information materials (MIMs). Rendering medicine information through written material is a reliable method. Readability is an important attribute of written material that can affect the reader’s ability to comprehend. Patient’s perception can also affect the comprehensibility of written MIMs. Objective: The objectives of the study were to assess the readability of medicine information in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH); and assessing patients’ perception and understanding of medicine information materials. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from September 21, 2019 to November 24, 2020, at TASH. Quantitative and qualitative data collection approaches were used in this research. The readability value of each material was determined in accordance with the Flesch Reading ease scores (FRE) and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL). The tools compute readability based on an average number of syllables per word and an average number of words per sentence. FRE provides scores from 0 to 100; higher scores mean easily comprehensible while FKGL sets grade levels for written texts. A structured interview was administered with questions about how MIMs had been used, and was analyzed qualitatively. Results: The results of this research showed low readability scores of MIMs found in TASH. Most patients do not get MIMs and are unaware of how to use them. They are interested to receive and read medicines information from pharmacists and physicians. Moreover, most of them preferred information through both verbal and written forms. Conclusion: The readability levels of selected MIMs obtained from TASH are found to be not compliant with the patients’ needs. This might be worsening their health outcomes and resulting in poorer use of healthcare services. Keywords: Flesch readability formula, information, medicine, readability, reading grade level, Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital
A Rule-based Approach for Resolving Cybercrime in Financial Institutions: The Tanzania case

It is widely accepted that technology is an agent of change in the society. However, the current rate of change in technology, particularly ICT, mobile and ATM machines, leaves room for it to be exploited and be used for things it was not meant for. The paper aims at examining the challenges to electronic banking and initiatives taken to address cyber-crimes among financial institutions in Tanzania. Using the data gathered based on employed comparative analysis methods from our studies and research undertaken by researchers, we examine in detail, technical factors that are continually shaping the landscape of cybercrime and its impact on financial Institutions. Picking a leaf on how to deal with challenges brought by information and communication technology-induced innovations in the banking sector a Platform for Organization Security Threat Analytic and Management (POSTAM) approach to address the cyber security problems in Tanzania was re-introduced. The data model approach was used to analyze collected data stored from the survey to test the security prototype developed.
