The Magic of Project Resolution in a Short Period of Time: Design Sprint Applied in Higher Education

The research conducted in this study was applied to multidisciplinary groups of Higher Education belonging to different degrees using the methodology proposed by the Design Sprint (DS) tool for the achievement of different challenges/objectives in a very short time. The methodology used is an adaptation of the one proposed by the DS, carried out in five non-consecutive stages/sessions focused on students of the first two years of different degrees of the CEU San Pablo University. The students, in general, have valued very positively the collaborative work in small groups, the time management and the administration of work under stress. The abandonment of the different challenges was set at 32%. A high level of commitment has been appreciated among the students to reach the proposed challenges, however, the work of the mentors as guides, becomes essential in the first courses of the different degrees in a general way. The application of the SD methodology provides students with an increase in their performance, in their ability to work in teams and to adapt in the best possible way to the demands of a society that is increasingly demanding new technologies. Students have increased their ability to reflect, transform and innovate in the different objectives/challenges/projects demanded by the new circumstances and social strategies. The support of good mentors, critics and specialists in the different areas to be addressed is necessary to offer students a better learning experience.
Peculiarities of Professional Self-Determination of Students

The article addresses the problem of professional self-determination of university students; describes the main approaches to the concept of professional self-determination, its components and stages; analyzes the experience of professional self-determination of international student, and highlights the key trends and practices that can be used in Ukrainian universities; and investigates interrelations between professional self-determination and professional identity.The results show that such indicators of professional self-determination as Autonomy, Decision-making, and Planning have an average degree of severity. But the Information scale was the lowest one. It indicates the need for organizing additional information activities and courses. Also, a strong relationship was found between Autonomy, Decision-making, Planning skills, and the formation of professional identity. It emphasizes the importance of developing these components in an integrative way. The research reveals that the main status of professional identity among students is the moratorium (crisis of choice). It indicates that most students are undecided and looking for professional trajectories, options of career development, and they need additional support in this area. Also, most students have an average subjective control level. We can conclude that they are ready to make decisions, with additional support and coaching.As a result of the analysis of the experience of international students, the following practices that can help to promote professional self-determination: a separate course “Marketing Yourself”; a task to create MindMap of yourself (about interests, dreams, aspirations, fears and doubts); career centres that regularly organize lectures; resume and interview workshops; and writing reflections after every course.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VARIOUS WAVELET APPROACHES USED IN IMAGE DENOISING

The world is constantly changing, and vision helps the humans to understand the environmental changes over time. The changes can be seen by, capturing the images. Hence digital image plays a vital role in day to day life. During the process of acquisition of digital image, the qualities of digital pictures are degraded due to additive noise known as adaptive white Gaussian noise. Therefore, the major challenge of image denoising algorithm is to improve the visual appearance while preserving the other details of the image. For the last two decades, wavelet has become an elegant tool in image denoising techniques. Among all wavelet based denoising methods, wavelet thresholding became popular because, wavelet appropriately separates the noisy signal from the image. The wavelet separation leaves the coarse grain noise in approximation sub-band and fine grain noise in detail sub-bands. Therefore, in wavelet based thresholding methods noise in detail sub-bands are threshold and approximate sub-band noise are kept as such. Hence, the efficiency of all wavelet based shrinkage techniques depends on, the choice of threshold parameter, thresholding technique and how the noise in the approximation sub-bands are handled. This paper presents a brief comparative study of denoising techniques proposed in the research articles based on the above parameters for Gaussian noise reduction using various wavelets transform. With the help of these experiments, we are able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of these methods, as well as seek the way ahead towards a definitive solution to the long-standing problem of image denoising.&#x0D;
The impact of the neoliberal technological epoch and Covid-19 on the decolonization of the university curriculum

In this article we will argue that South Africa’s capitalist neoliberal agenda for higher education, where the focus is on the shift from a knowledge economy to a digital economy, will choke the life of indigenous knowledge out of the university curriculum. To support this claim the article discusses, firstly, the impact of the core neoliberal ideals on the university curriculum landscape. Secondly, drawing on the scholarly work of Martin Heidegger and his anticipation of the spirit of the time in the technological epoch, the article shows how humans in this era will be viewed as a heap of fungible raw materials, resources, or standing reserve (Bestand) awaiting optimisation. In this technological age knowledge is subject to the demands of the market, where the focus will be exclusively on knowledge that has a utilitarian value in and impact on the technological epoch. A direct consequence of this is that little space will be provided for the inclusion of indigenous knowledge in the curriculum. We conclude by showing how the current Covid-19 pandemic dismissed the voices and disregarded the efforts of indigenous healers in the fight against the pandemic. All these developments illustrate government’s power to impose its neoliberal agenda on the university that will ultimately lead to the detriment and neglect of indigenous knowledge.

Developing a Taxonomy Concerning Physical Existing Makerspaces in and Used by Schools

This systematic literature review addresses strongly on makerspaces in schools. An evaluation of literature about their status-quo shows qualitative and quantitative knowledge gaps in the relatively new field of makerspaces in and used by schools according to infrastructure, funding, and administration. A taxonomy concerning physical existing makerspaces in schools and used by schools including parameters like location, responsibilities, financing, instructors, users, time restrictions, and feasible maker activities is developed. Two different electronic journal databases, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and ScienceDirect, acted as source for this literature review. Most of this existing literature concentrates on the educational maker activities and only some feature additional information like the physical space, the financing or else. Nonetheless, these rare findings suggest four main categories of real-world makerspaces used for educational pur-poses in schools: External makerspaces, school makerspaces, open makerspaces located in schools, and temporary (Pop-up) makerspaces. Furthermore, we identified the need for investigations on the question of open makerspaces located in schools and the financial and organizational structure to operate them.
