Sistem Prediksi Jumlah Permintaan Produk Darah Menggunakan Metode Least Square Regression Line (Studi Kasus : Utd Pmi Kabupaten Jombang)

Blood Transfusion Unit (UTD) as the provider of blood supply is required to fulfill blood demand. However in reality, the blood stock does not always meet the demand for blood. The amount of blood group stock in UTD depends on blood donors who voluntarily donate blood. Red blood cells only have a life span of 35 days since they were donated, if they have passed that time the blood cannot be used for transfusion. Based on these problems, the authors applied the Lesat Square Regression Line method to predict the number of requests for blood products in the coming month. The calculation results obtained prediction of demand with the smallest MAPE value that is blood product of PRC blood type A with a value of 14.40%. The biggest MAPE value obtained is 180.66% for WB blood type AB. Factors or parameters that affect the amount of blood product demand, that is the environment, disease outbreaks and differences in body resistance of each blood group. In addition, the types of blood products also have a number of different requests depending on the level of blood needs for health.
POLYCULTURAL COMPETENCE CLUSTERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: CREATINGAN OUTCOMES-BASED COMPETENCE PROFILE

Nowadays clusters are recognized as an important instrument for promoting industrial development, innovation, competitiveness and growth. Although primarily driven by the efforts made by private companies and individuals, clusters are influenced by governments and other public institutions at national and regional levels. An educational cluster is a set of interrelated vocational education institutions of various levels that are united by industry with each other and are connected by partnership with industry enterprises. The principles of the functioning of the educational cluster is a single educational, scientific and innovation process in conjunction with the economy and the social sphere; the continuity of the educational process and the relationship of educational programs at various levels; organizational, educational and methodical, scientific and informational interaction between all subjects of the cluster. This article attempts to develop and describe a cluster of polycultural competences of university students by means of creating an applied profile of competences. The purpose of this study is to describe polycultural competences and to define the profile of applied competences in form of a cluster of polycultural competencies (PCC). The authors consider clusters of polycultural competences as an integral part of the educational campus within the concept framework of Shadrinsk State Pedagogical University. To determine the essence of the concept of a cluster of polycultural competences, theoretical, empirical, observational, and diagnostic methods were implemented, such as: a review of scientific literature, a compilation of best practices, observation, statistical methods, etc. As a result, a cluster of polycultural competences was defined as a set of competences. The authors analyzed the programs of partner universities and organized international webinars and internships for bachelors and masters abroad and developed online courses “foreign language for undergraduate students and masters”. Experimental data obtained during the implementation of cluster training show the effectiveness of the formation of students' polycultural competencies.
MOSAICING FIDELITY GEOMETRICAL ASSESSMENT BASED ON SURF POINT CLASSIFICATION

Abstract. The recent development of automated UAV imaging applications for geomatics is leading to an unprecedented rapid growth in mosaic and DEM images. Newer, more advanced algorithms are being extensively studied to fulfill constantly increasing requirements. Sequences of georeferenced images that cannot be shot at once are merged with ideally no geometrical distortion to allow for 3D reconstruction and orthophotography generation. If newer robust mosaicing algorithms are being developed to withstand UAV tighter real-time constraints, very little attention has been given to objectively assess their capacity to coherently combine different image geometries. Changes in FOV and illumination, oblique scenes and dynamic sequences featuring movement and object occlusion are not yet fully handled by state-of-the-art algorithms. Despite the large panel of existing applications featuring different quality constraints, our work focuses on the geomatics context, where the main requirement is the respect of geometrical proportions among images. Geometrically coherent mosaics and 3D reconstructions can only result from fully static, high-altitude orthogonal views. GCPs or well known geographical landmarks are employed with RTK-GPS for scene georeferencing. The overall fidelity is computed as the global variance of the distances between SGPs. However, very few ways seem to exist to measure the content coherence of large geographical scenes, interiors or unreferenced scenes. Distances are mostly expressed in a local coordinate system and GCPs are often unavailable. The main contribution of this paper consists in the definition of a formal metric for measuring local coordinate geometrical fidelity of mosaics issued of UAV image sequences, in real operating conditions. A Mosaicing Fidelity Assessment (MSF) index is therefore computed for every couple of consecutive images of a sequence. The metric generates an index based on the distances of SURF feature points extracted in the images and compares them to estimate geometrical changes transferred to the mosaic. The solution can detect perspective inaccuracies caused by residual registration errors. It can fulfill the requirements of most of imaging and geomatics applications and can be executed as nearly real-time due to its low computational complexity.

Trace elements characterisation in floodplain soils underlain by crystalline rocks, akure, southwestern Nigeria

The results of the floodplain soils study on the spatial distribution of selected trace elements in top soils (0 – 30 cm) and sub soils (&gt; 30 – 100 cm) near Ala River, Akure metropolis, are reported. The objectives of this study are to determine the concentration of trace elements in the top and bottom soils, and identify the possible enrichment sources of these elements in the floodplain area. Forty two samples (top soil 21; sub soil 21) were collected for the study. The samples were air dried at room temperature, disaggregated and sieved using 53 µg mesh size. The prepared samples were further digested using modified aqua regia of (1:1:1 HNO3: HCL: H2O). The digests were subjected to elemental analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The trace elements concentration in ppm exhibited the following distribution pattern. Cu range in ppm from 6.0 – 53.0 mean 27.43; Pb, 10.0 – 165.0, mean 58.43; Zn, 29.0 – 479.0 mean 223.1; Ni, 10.0 – 20.0, mean 14.86; Co, 16.0 – 33.0, mean 24.29; Mn, 250.0 – 1615.0, mean 983.29; Th 9.0 – 19.0, mean 14.43; V, 35.0 – 89.0, mean 73.05; La 26.0 – 84.0, mean 56.76 and Cr 11.0 – 60.0 mean 40.43. While the result for the sub soils range in ppm, Cu from 3.0 – 51.0, mean 21.24; Pb, 7.0 – 208.0, mean 56.33; Zn, 21.0 - 460.0. mean 149.14; Ni, 8.0 – 29.0, mean 13.76; Co, 12.0 – 37.0, mean 23.95; Mn, 138.0 – 2283.0, mean 806.43; Th 9.0 – 28.0, mean 17.48; V, 40.0 – 105.0, mean 68.71; La 25.0 – 96.0, mean 61.00 and Cr 12.0 – 58.0 mean 35.38. The results of both the top soils and sub soils showed higher concentration metal enrichment than the average shale values. The relative elemental mean concentration is such that Mn&gt; Zn &gt; V &gt; La &gt; Pb &gt; Cr &gt; Co &gt; Cu &gt; Th &gt; Ni in that order. Elements such as Cu, Zn, Pb, V, Mn, Th and Cr had relatively moderate to very strong correlation coefficient (r = 0.54 0.97) with each other, which apparently indicate that these elements are of same source of enrichment in the floodplain. Pb, Zn, V, La, Th and Cr are elements that are of significant environmental concerns.
Balanced Disposition of Compulsory Education Teachers in Rural Areas: Layout of Schools and Innovation of Teacher Turnover Model

The teachers disposition for compulsory education in the urban and rural areas is not balanced, with the level of urban teachers much higher than that of rural teachers, which has become an important factor restricting the balanced development of urban and rural compulsory education. Teachers are important educational resources and the first wealth of a school. Promoting the balanced development of teachers is an important part of the balanced development of urban and rural compulsory education. In promoting the balance between urban and rural compulsory education teachers, the key is to give play to the leading role of governments at all levels and education departments, integrate the educational resources of urban schools and local colleges and universities, and innovate the supply and supplement mechanism of rural teachers.
Robust automatic visual method for determining facial angles from profile view images

A analysis of human facial images has become increasingly important due to its numerous applications. In this regards, extracting facial parameter is vital and various studies have been done in this field. Hence in our proposed work, first time up to our knowledge, a robust automatic method is introduced for determining facial angles from profile view images using radon transform. Radon transform is a kind of linear integration along a specific direction and angles play an important role to do this transform. The global features were rather considered by constructing a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and also local features were rather considered by locality preserving projection (LPP). Our proposed combined algorithm has not only good precision, but also efficient performance and robust with noisy, scale and rotated image environments. In this work, several experiments have been conducted to analyze the robustness of our proposed Radon Combined Global and Local Preserving Features (RCGLPF) algorithm along with other existing conventional algorithms.
DESIGNING &amp; PILOTING ONLINE TESTS AS PART OF A TEACHER COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT

Approaches for competence assessment are becoming increasingly important to plan school development goals, especially during complex educational changes. This paper outlines authors’ experience and recommendations from the designing and piloting of teacher online tests as part of a wider competence management process. A developed theoretical model of a universal teacher competence profile is presented. Tests represent four thematic parts related to teacher performance in classroom to facilitate: student cognitive activation, student self-regulation, student collaboration, and leveraging digital. Test questions were developed based on a framework of teacher performance assessment that consists of a structured set of performance level descriptors to help determine teacher level of competence (0-4) according to criteria developed. Online tests were completed by 197 teachers. Test results were analysed to determine their validity. Proposed online tests can be used for interpreting assessment results of teacher knowledge and beliefs necessary for teaching 21st century skills and plan teacher professional development for goal attainment in schools.
A SURVEY OF CASCADING STYLE SHEETS COMPLEXITY METRICS

Cascading style sheets (CSS) is a Web-based style sheet language that is used for the presentation of Web documents.CSS has advanced from CSS1 to CSS3.and extensions to CSS known as CSS pre-processors have also emerged in the last few years.As is the case with regular software, CSS have inherent complexity that keeps on increasing with age which is undesirable, and metrics are needed to measure with the aim of controlling it.Although several Web metrics have been proposed in the literature, the area of stylesheets is still lagging.Findings show that few CSS-related metrics exist, and there is no evidence of proof for their mathematical soundness through the popularly known frameworks such as Briand framework and Weyuker's properties.In addition, they have not been empirically validated.In order to address this gap, future studies should focus on defining and validating new metrics for CSS and its pre-processors.
Assessment of Extension Agents' Perception of Mobile Phone Usage for Communication with Farmers in Edo South of Edo State, Nigeria

The use of mobile phones as means of communication between the extension agents and local farmers in Edo South was examined to determine the perception of the extension agents on its effectiveness.Fifty-one (51) respondents were obtained through random sampling using questionnaires to obtain relevant information in the two local government areas; Ovia North East and Ovia South West selected for the study.The result obtained indicated that male extension agents were in majority (72.5%), 54.9% of the sampled population above 45 years of age and 58.8% possessed 16 -20 years working experience.Phone calls and short message service (SMS) were found appropriate for agricultural information dissemination.Significant and positive relationships were established between the working experience of extension agents and their perception of mobile phone usage.The recommendation is that formal integration of mobile phone into extension activities be done to enhance wider coverage, reduce cost and risks associated with movement.Extension agents and farmers need more training on effective usage of SMS and phone calls for interaction on farm related issues.Enforcement of existing telecommunication laws could reduce network failure and also enhance effective usage.
Using the Semantic Differential Method to Assess the Learning Motivation and Attitude of First-Year Students Towards Chemistry in University of EMERCOM of Russia

It is an interesting to obtain an objective view of students’ attitude toward a certain discipline and to construct effective pedagogical diagnostics based on the obtained data. Such data relates to both the academic performance of students and also their emotional attitude towards a subject and motivation to study it. This research study, using the semantic differential method, used a survey tool for measuring students’ attitudes towards “Chemistry” as a body of knowledge and practical use. A questionnaire was administered to first-year students from the University of EMERCOM of Russia, who were studying Chemistry as a basic discipline. Methods of graphical and factor analysis were used to process the data obtained during the study. The concurrent results of both methods prove the applicability of the graphical data processing method for small subject groups’ analysis, when factor analysis was not sufficiently accurate. As a result of statistical data processing, four basic factors, reflecting the students’ attitude to the Chemistry course, were identified. The learners were seen having different attitudes depending on the major chosen, on gender and on the nature of the educational group. A lack of understanding of the role of Chemistry in professional disciplines was found to be a major cause for low learning motivation. It was also revealed that academic performance could be increased by monitoring the students’ emotional states. A combination of both factor analysis and graphical data processing made this study both qualitative and quantitative.

Solving the Graph Edit Distance Problem with Variable Partitioning Local Search

In the world of graph matching, the Graph Edit Distance (GED) problem is a well-known distance measure between graphs. It has been proven to be a $$\mathcal {NP}$$ -hard minimization problem. This paper presents an adapted version of Variable Partitioning Local Search (VPLS) matheuristic for solving the GED problem. The main idea in VPLS is to perform local searches in the solution space of a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP). A local search is done in a small neighborhood defined based on a set of special variables. Those special variables are selected based on a procedure that extracts useful characteristics from the instance at hand. This actually ensures that the neighborhood contains high quality solutions. Finally, the experimentation results have shown that VPLS has outperformed existing heuristics in terms of solution quality on CMU-HOUSE database.

There is a difference of knowledge and attitude of peer educator after given nutrition education.
FOUGERE: User-Centric Location Privacy in Mobile Crowdsourcing Apps

Mobile crowdsourcing is being increasingly used by industrial and research communities to build realistic datasets. By leveraging the capabilities of mobile devices, mobile crowdsourcing apps can be used to track participants’ activity and to collect insightful reports from the environment (e.g., air quality, network quality). However, most of existing crowdsourced datasets systematically tag data samples with time and location stamps, which may inevitably lead to user privacy leaks by discarding sensitive information. This paper addresses this critical limitation of the state of the art by proposing a software library that improves user privacy without compromising the overall quality of the crowdsourced datasets. We propose a decentralized approach, named Fougere, to convey data samples from user devices to third-party servers. By introducing an a priori data anonymization process, we show that Fougere defeats state-of-the-art location-based privacy attacks with little impact on the quality of crowdsourced datasets.
Ketidaktepatan Waktu Kelulusan Mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka dengan Metode Boosting Cart

The classification tree method or better known as Classification and Regression Tree (CART) has capabilities in various data conditions, but CART is less stable in changing learning data which will cause major changes in the results of the classification tree prediction. Predictive accuracy of an unstable classifier can be corrected by a combination method of many single classifiers where the prediction results of each classifier are combined into the final prediction through the majority voting process for classification or average voting for regression cases. Boosting ensemble method is one method that combines many classification trees to improve stability and determine classification predictions. This research purpose to improve the stability and predictive accuracy of CART with boosting. The case used in this study is the classification of inaccuracies in the Open University student graduation. The results of the analysis show that boosting is able to improve the accuracy of the classification of the inaccuracy of student graduation which reaches a classification prediction of 75.94% which previously reached 65.41% in the classification tree.
