Ontology-Based Topic Mapping

The field of ontology design is growing rapidly in the modern information world. Many educators start to implement the concept of ontology for the e-learning process, such as to design course syllabus, organize learning materials and learning styles. The goal for an ontology-driven e-learning system is to design an effective learning path for students to achieve learning goals. Hence, this research examines how ontology-based topic mapping can link different lecture topics together in accordance to their difficulty level and relationship, in order to deliver an appropriate learning sequence for students.There are several features that need to be improved in the proposed system. The prototype available requires a lot of manually inputted data, so improvement need to be done to enhance the system’s ability to read and calculate data automatically. Besides, the result generated by the system needs to be systematized for more readable and understandable. Moreover, new feature to be added to the existing system includes generate sequencing pattern for the course contents based on the result of correlation and clustering.Literature review method is performed throughout the research. After carrying out a thorough searching for relevant papers, all the information is analysed and combined to create a summary of current literature relevant to the research question. Fact gathering techniques such as questionnaire and interview have been used to collect data from respondents regarding the proposed system. Incremental Model is chosen as the software process model during the development of the proposed system. It is appropriate for project that has limited personnel, as well as to shorten the development time. In testing phase, unit testing is conducted for every feature to ensure that each individual feature can work properly before being integrated into the existing module. Then, module testing is carried out to test all the dependent features together. Final system testing involves the testing of the entire system after the various modules have been integrated.In a nutshell, ontology mapping helps to determine the difficulty of course lecture chapters, identify and analyze the relationship between them and group the similar chapters together in order to deliver the course contents effectively to students.

Los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje como estrategia de mediación pedagógica

A review of the available literature associated with virtual learning environments as a pedagogical mediation strategy was carried out, which have useful teaching tools that facilitate the understanding and development of the student's technological and cognitive skills. The research was of a qualitative type because it was analyzed and described the impact that virtual learning environments (VLE) have on the pedagogical mediation of teachers in their classes, so the documentary review was used as a means for the collection of scientific information. This allowed us to establish that the application of VLE in pedagogical mediation facilitates intercommunication between teachers and students in the realization of the teaching-learning processes, as well as positively affecting the motivation and performance of the students.
A Basis Function for DCT Based Discrete Orthogonal S-Transform

In time-frequency representation, S-transform is unique because of its local spectral phase properties. Discrete orthogonal S-transform (DOST) is the efficient representation of redundant S-transform. The Fourier transform of DOST bases is restricted to different non-overlapping subbands, ensuring orthogonality. DOST can be simplified as the multiplication of the DFT matrix and a block diagonal matrix containing IDFT matrices along with phase term. But, the use of DFT leads to a relatively low rate of decay which results in poor localization. Therefore, a noble mathematical formulation for DCT based DOST is introduced as the symmetrical nature of DCT reduces the abruptness during the transition between subbands. The basis function and its Fourier transform of different subbands of the proposed DCT based DOST formulation are simulated and plotted using MATLAB. Moreover, the use of DCT reduces the total number of computation in the case of DCT based DOST compared to original DOST.
Contextual Reserve Price Optimization in Auctions.

We study the problem of learning a linear model to set the reserve price in order to maximize expected revenue in an auction, given contextual information. First, we show that it is not possible to solve this problem in polynomial time unless the \emph{Exponential Time Hypothesis} fails. Second, we present a strong mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for this problem, which is capable of exactly modeling the nonconvex and discontinuous expected reward function. Moreover, we show that this MIP formulation is ideal (the strongest possible formulation) for the revenue function. Since it can be computationally expensive to exactly solve the MIP formulation, we also study the performance of its linear programming (LP) relaxation. We show that, unfortunately, in the worst case the objective gap of the linear programming relaxation can be $O(n)$ times larger than the optimal objective of the actual problem, where $n$ is the number of samples. Finally, we present computational results, showcasing that the mixed-integer programming formulation, along with its linear programming relaxation, are able to superior both the in-sample performance and the out-of-sample performance of the state-of-the-art algorithms on both real and synthetic datasets.
Integration of Virtual Reality (VR) in Architectural Design Education: Exploring Student Experience

The architecture industry significantly relies on visual communication.Virtual reality helps designers create a greater sense of realism and a better understanding of a project by designing while immersed in them.That technological advancement has the potential to improve the design process.Therefore, the demand for adapting the use of virtual reality environments in the architecture industry has increased over the past two decades.If academia is aligned with industry, students will be better prepared for integration into the workplace.As a result, the integration of virtual reality into the architectural curriculum is an educational imperative.The long term goal of this project is to incorporate VR into design studios and build a virtual reality lab for architecture students at Western Kentucky University.This study describes the overview of the ongoing integration of virtual reality (VR) environments within the Architectural Science program.A pilot study was conducted prior to incorporating VR into the classroom to investigate the value and the challenges of integration of virtual reality system in design education.This research details and analyzes the experience of a junior student by applying VR to facilitate learning in the context of architectural design.The student applied VR to become immersed in the designed building through the use of a headset and hand controllers.Based on the collected experimental data, the authors investigated the practical application of VR in the learning environment and demonstrated the effectiveness of this advanced technology in pedagogical practice.
Witnessing Entanglement in Experiments with Arbitrary Noise

The purpose of an entanglement witness experiment is to certify the creation of an entangled state from a finite number of trials. The statistical confidence of such an experiment is typically expressed as the number of observed standard deviations of witness violations. This method implicitly assumes that the noise is well-behaved so that the central limit theorem applies. In this work, we propose two methods to analyze witness experiments where the states can be subject to arbitrarily correlated noise. Our first method is a rejection experiment, in which we certify the creation of entanglement by rejecting the hypothesis that the experiment can only produce separable states. We quantify the statistical confidence by a p-value, which can be interpreted as the likelihood that the observed data is consistent with the hypothesis that only separable states can be produced. Hence a small p-value implies large confidence in the witnessed entanglement. The method applies to general witness experiments and can also be used to witness genuine multipartite entanglement. Our second method is an estimation experiment, in which we estimate and construct confidence intervals for the average witness value. This confidence interval is statistically rigorous in the presence of correlated noise. The method applies to general estimation problems, including fidelity estimation. To account for systematic measurement and random setting generation errors, our model takes into account device imperfections and we show how this affects both methods of statistical analysis. Finally, we illustrate the use of our methods with detailed examples based on a simulation of NV centers.
Det sexuella självbestämmandet och den nya s.k. samtyckeslagen - Vad kom(mer) först, skyddet för det sexuella självbestämmandet eller skyddet för den sexuella integriteten?

In 2018 Sweden passed a new sexual offence legislation based on consent. The new law came in effect on 1 July. Due to the new law, the lack of consent is now enough to constitute a sexual offence. The sexual offences affected by the new law are rape, 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken, and sexual abuse 6 kap. 2 § brottsbalken. The interests protected by the sexual offence legislation are the right to self-determination and integrity regarding sexual aspects. According to 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken, a sexual act with a person who does not participate voluntarily constitutes rape. When evaluating whether a person did in fact participate voluntarily, one should especially take into con-sideration whether the willingness to participate was expressed in any way, verbally, physically or in other ways. According to 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken a person can for example never be considered to have participated voluntarily in case the person participates due to violence or threats, when a victims particu-larly vulnerable situation is exploited. When evaluating whether a person par-ticipated voluntarily in the case of sexual abuse according to 6 kap. 2 § brotts-balken the facts considered are the same. The way 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken is designed can give the impression that the legislation limits the individual’s right to self-determination when it comes to sexual acts. The interest of sexual self-determination, meaning a freedom from involvement of the state in the individual’s sexual life, is there-by limited in purpose to protect the individual’s sexual integrity, meaning the individual’s interest of not being subject to sexual acts in which he or she does not participate voluntarily. After having evaluated statements made by the legislator, I find how-ever that the legislation has taken the individual’s right to sexual self-determination in consideration when drafting the legislation. The legislator emphasized the importance of a causal link when the participation is due to violence or threats, as well as the requirement of exploitation when it comes to a sexual act with a person in a particularly vulnerable situation. Due to this sexual self-determination will possibly only be limited in very few cases. Al-so, similar limitation where found in the legislation prior to the new sexual offence legislation based on consent. As to a person’s right to be passive dur-ing a sexual act, the legislator stated that this is part of the individual’s right to sexual self-determination.
Merit management web application

Merit Management Desktop Application (MMDA) is a system for staffs to manage the merit in an easy, fast and authentic way to any of the event conducted by Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) for students. The main play of the system is using biometric of the students to authenticate their attendance in an event which is their fingerprint. In the past years, students have cheated in many ways to get merit from the event. This is an illegal act in the university. Students who absent to the events takes advantage of other person to input merit for them as the currently used system could not verify the person’s identity before it could insert merit data into the database. MMWA breaks this chain of cheating by introducing biometrics into the cycle. Students could only input merit through their fingerprint and as fingerprint is unique to each person, the probability of cheating is near to impossible. Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology is used to develop this system because it is a small project and only for prototype. The RAD makes the best fit for this type of criteria. The other functions consist of five which are registration, login, manage attendance, manage event and manage database. User Acceptance Test (UAT) is conducted after the system is completed to ensure that all the functions work properly to the requirement of the client. It verifies the objective of managing the merit for students are more secure and easier than before.

The legal effect of electronic signatures in international legislation and in Serbian law

The legal effect of electronic signatures, which includes the problem of its validity and legal power, is one of the important issues of electronic commerce. The paper analyzes the approach to this problem in the international legislation and the law of Serbia, considering it in the context of some national comparative solutions, especially in the context of the EU law. At an international level, legislation is conceptually nearly identical and is based on the principles of legal recognition, functional equivalence and formal technological neutrality. Additionally, the approach on the correlation of the legal effect of electronic contracts and their reliability is also widely accepted, with differences only in terms of specifying and the level of related requirements. The law of Serbia also accepts the above-mentioned concept; however, methodologically, structurally and substantively it relies primarily on the EU law. It is particularly important that in our law "reliability and security" becomes a key determinant of the legal effect of electronic signatures. Namely, the highest legal power is given to a qualified electronic signature, which has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, and can even replace the legalization of a handwritten signature, but in turn it must satisfy a very complex system of strict requirements that all together need to ensure a high level of its reliability.

Grip on Energy: with Blockchain Technology

Switching energy suppliers can be a time consuming process and the manner in which permissions regarding consumer data are stored lacks transparency. To overcome these issues, a solution was proposed in the form of a mandate register. Said register keeps track of which consumer gave what permission, regarding energy data, to whom. In this project a prototype of such a register was built. The register is required to be designed in such a way that it is expandable and secure. From these characteristics, the conclusion was drawn that a permissioned blockchain network was the most suitable option for storing mandates in a decentralised and immutable fashion. The most fitting consensus algorithm for the blockchain network was determined to be the Raft algorithm. For implementation of the blockchain network, a widely-documented and advanced framework called Hyperledger Fabric was used, which was be configured to use Raft. A network in Hyperledger Fabric is a set of organisations of which subsets can form channels together. Each organisation consists of multiple peer nodes, each with a corresponding ledger, database and smart contracts. The mandate register network consists of two channels, the first containing seven organisations, with two peer nodes per organisation. Apart from these seven organisations, the network contains seven orderers, which work in the second channel and which are responsible for managing transactions made by an application. On top of the network, an application was built that connects to the network and functions as a simple web server. The web server allows consumers to submit their mandates as input to the network and query mandates from the network. Performance evaluation of the network shows that it requires much optimisation before being ready for deployment in the real world. Apart from optimisation, there are various tasks related to security, authentication, deployment, and the GDPR which have to be completed before the register can be used in production.
