The Use of Social Media in Assisting Writing Skills Among Chinese Primary School Student

The use of social media like YouTube, WeChat, WhatsApp, and Instagram is undebatable and prevalent among generation Z (Gen Z). Gen Z has been utilizing ICT and Internet a lot thus making them a full rounded of the digital native. However, there are limited past studies conducted on the influence of social media in acquiring and using the English language appropriately given in virtual context especially in writing skills among the Gen Z generation. Therefore, this paper aims to identify students' perceptions of the use of social media in assisting their writing skills. A survey has been conducted and a set of questionnaires was distributed among 45 primary Year 4 students at a Chinese-vernacular elementary school in Jempol, Negeri Sembilan. The data collected were analyzed and reported in tables using frequencies and percentages. The findings showed that the students have both positive and negative perceptions towards the use of social media in assisting writing skills.
A New Framework for Distance-based Functional Clustering

We develop a new framework for clustering functional data, based on a distance matrix similar to the approach in clustering multivariate data using spectral clustering. First, we smooth the raw observations using appropriate smoothing techniques with desired smoothness, through a penalized fit. The next step is to create an optimal distance matrix either from the smoothed curves or their available derivatives. The choice of the distance matrix depends on the nature of the data. Finally, we create and implement the spectral clustering algorithm. We applied our newly developed approach, Functional Spectral Clustering (FSC) on sets of simulated and real data. Our proposed method showed better performance than existing methods with respect to accuracy rates.
The ‘Branches Map’ method and ESL students’ Motivation in essay writing

Writing is a complex yet a creative process that is an essential skill for effective communication.  Writing skills include the refining ideas and expression, coupled with presentation and editing. However, to glean the interest in writing among students is not an easy task for teachers. Writing is also considered as one of the most difficult skills which students have to deal with combining ideas, choosing the right vocabulary so that it would not overlap and so on.  Thus, various methods need to be implemented to increase the students’ motivation in writing.  This study aims to study secondary school students’ perceptions towards the use of ‘branches map’ method and its influences to motivate them in their essay writing.  Semi-structured interview was conducted to collect the data. Twelve students of age sixteen with different level of English proficiency were selected to participate in this study. The analysis of the data indicated that majority of the students had positive perception towards the use of Branches Map method to motivate them in writing. The students responded that the use of ‘Branches Map’ method helps them in planning their writing, generating ideas, and enhancing creativity in writing. These results manifested that the tree structure of the ‘Branches Map’ method used in the pre-writing process were able to enhance students’ motivation in essay writing.

Application of multi-objective firefly algorithm based on archive learning in robot path planning

Addressing the defects of slow convergence and low solution precision with multi-objective firefly algorithm, we propose a multi-objective firefly algorithm based on archive learning. The algorithm saves the elite particles obtained from each generation in an external archive and then randomly selects a particle from the external file as the learning object of the firefly to participate in the population evolution. The algorithm was verified by four test functions ZDT1, ZDT2, ZDT3 and ZDT6 and evaluated by IGD comprehensive evaluation index. Experiments have shown that the modified firefly algorithm does not only have a higher ability to escape from local optima, but also displays a significant improvement in convergence speed and solution precision. Our algorithm is more suitable for multi-objective optimisation problems that have a higher complexity. When applied to robot path planning, our modified algorithm can yield shorter length and higher smoothness of the path.
Morphologic alterations ear, nose and lip detected with aging through facial photoanthropometric analysis.

Understanding the morphologic alterations of the human face over the time is an essential step towards optimal simulations of facial age progression. In practice, these simulations contribute to the forensic routine by tracking and recognizing missing persons.This study aimed to assess the morphometric facial alterations with aging - concerning specifically the development of ear, nose and lip in relation to other facial structures.The sample consisted of 700 photographs taken standardly in frontal view from male and female Caucasian subjects aged from 20 to 80 years old. The sample was divided in 7 age groups (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 years old), in which 50 males and 50 females were distributed homogenously. Photoanthropometric analysis was applied with SAFF 2D® 2.0.05 (SEPAEL/INC, Federal Police, Brazil) software package considering 36 facial landmarks. A single examiner analyzed the sample aided by two other examiners for the assessment of intra-/inter-rater reliability.The most evident alterations found in the facial structures consisted of the enlargement of the nose and ears with aging, as well the reduction in size of the lip thickness. These alterations varied considerably in the specific age ranges studied in this research being different between males and females.The present outcomes indicated the possibility of quantifying morphometric alterations observed in the human face with aging. These alterations may support the forensic practice providing tools for age estimation based on photographic analyses.

Compressed Exposure Sequences for HDR Imaging

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques allow photographers to capture the luminance distribution in the real-world as it is, freeing them from the limitations of capture and display devices.One common approach for creating HDR images is the multiple exposures technique (MET).This technique is preferred by many photographers as multiple exposures can be captured with off-the-shelf digital cameras and later combined into an HDR image.In this study, we propose a storage scheme in order to simplify the maintenance and usability of such sequences.In our scheme, multiple exposures are stored inside a single JPEG file with the main image representing a user-selected reference exposure.Other exposures are not directly stored, but rather their differences with each other and the reference is stored in a compressed manner in the metadata section of the same file.This allows a significant reduction in file size without impacting quality.If necessary the original exposures can be reconstructed from this single JPEG file, which in turn can be used in a standard HDR workflow.
A robust visual tracking via nonlocal correlation filters

Visual object tracking has become increasingly popular in the community due to its application and research significance. However, occlusion is one of the major factors that seriously impact the tracking performance in visual tracking. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel nonlocal correlation filter based tracking method. Our proposed tracker effectively exploits the explicit coupled mechanism which depends on the global filter and several local part filters, and efficiently employs the spatial geometric constraints among the global object and local patches of object for preserving the structure of object. Compared with other existing correlation filter based trackers, our proposed tracking method has three advantages: (1) To ensure complete representation to the target candidate, we learn the correlation filers from not only the global sample but also local sample parts. The global based filter guarantees the overall accuracy of the tracked object, while the local based filters reserve the details of tracking object to cope with the challenging cases like occlusion or deformation. In addition, an effective and adaptive selection mechanism is proposed to select the most distinctive and discriminative parts for tracking, which avoids unnecessary computing burden caused by tracking all parts and simultaneously improves the robustness of the tracker. (2) Through adaptively weighting the global sample and each local part of samples, the integration mechanism puts more emphasis on visible parts and eliminates the impacts by occluded parts for further improving the tracking robustness. (3) Different from other trackers by searching for the predefined scale pyramid, we propose a simple yet effective scale estimation strategy which can accurately calculate the current scale of the tracking target. For verifying our method, we conduct extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments on challenging benchmark image sequences. Experiment results demonstrate that our proposed method performs favorably against several state-of-the-art trackers.

Escalonamento de Aplicações em Instâncias Preemptivas Sujeitas a Falhas Temporais

By contracting Virtual Machines on Amazon EC2, the user can opt for on-demand instances, which have high availability, or instances spot (preemptive), which are idle resources offered at a lower price, whose availability may vary throughout the run. Despite the economic advantage, if the demand for resources increases, the preemptive instances can be revoked by the provider without warning, and put in hibernation until the demand decreases. This work presents initial results and the formulation of the scheduling problem which considers hibernation-prone preemptive instances to minimize the monetary cost of execution.
Denoising Reconstruction of Evaporation Duct Based on Variable Parameter Threshold Approximation Message Passing Method

In order to obtain the spatiotemporal situation of the evaporation duct accurately from a small amount of measurement data which is mixed into the noise during the transmission process affecting the high-precision reconstruction, this paper proposes an approximate message passing method (AMP) based on variable parameter threshold to realize the denoising reconstruction of noisy signals. By improving the threshold function in AMP, it is more suitable for the sparse characteristics of the evaporation duct parameters and converging more quickly. Theoretical analysis and experiments show that the overall performance of the denoising reconstruction method proposed in this paper is better than the control group.

Solvability of the Caldeira–Leggett model

In this paper, we illustrate the use of the method of the characteristics in various dissipative models of a single harmonic oscillator. The master equation governing the process can be transformed to a partial differential equation on the Wigner distribution, which in turn can be split to a system of coupled differential equations. We present a useful technique that can be used to separate the system without increasing the order and then the solutions can be obtained. The obtained solutions are used to calculate the average of energy observable of the system. This procedure can be extended to solve some other complex similar problems.
Formal Modeling and Verification of Cloud Elasticity with Maude and LTL

Elasticity allows Cloud systems to adapt to the demand by (de)provisioning resources as the input workload rises and drops. Given the numerous overlapping factors that impact their elastic behavior, the specification and verification of Cloud elasticity is a particularly challenging task. In this paper, we propose a Maude-based approach to formalize Cloud systems’ elastic behaviors, as a first step towards the verification of their correctness through a LTL (Linear Temporal Logic) state-based model-checking technique.
PROCEEDING Challenges Of Design Education In The Industrial Revolution 4.0 Era

The progress of information and communication technology in the era of industrialrevolution 4.0 has progressed very rapidly. The impact of this progress has brought changes inall areas of life. The changes experienced in the education sector are also very significant. Theemergence of various sites that offer convenience in education is also not small. Education hasentered the e-learning era based on information and communication technology. In addition, theemergence of various applications that facilitate learning is also not small. This provides a newchallenge, especially in the scientific field of design. The emergence of various applications in thefield of design has made it easy for the creation of works, but other content emerged, a communitythat claimed to be a designer who had clearly not met the criteria of the designer. This condition is achallenge for design education in order to have special characteristics that distinguish design highereducation from design education. This study uses observational methods in the media and literaturestudies that have relevance to education in general and design education in particular. The purposeof this study was to provide information to all parties about design education and the challenges ofdesign education in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. The results obtained are the need for renewaland improvement of both the curriculum and human resources in the field of design education to beable to face the progress of the time so that design as a work of creativity and thought will later beaccepted by the community both locally, nationally and globally.Keywords: Industrial Revolution 4.0, Education, Design Education, Design Education Challenges.
