User Perception of Digital Libraries In India: Problems & Prospects

With the improvement of multidirectional education process, value of libraries and info science continues to be enhanced. Not merely conventional libraries have grown in size though an unique idea of libraries named as electronic library has are available in to existence. Electronic library seems to have great deal of changes not just in the library and also info services but additionally within the roles and also expectations of the librarians plus info professionals. During the previous 5 years India is answering this worldwide movement somewhat proactively and positively. Among the main factors being, presently, more than seventy proportion of world's scholarly literature is born digital. Obviously when they're acquired by the libraries for patron's usage they are going to have being acquired in the electronic form. A digital library is a set of info that's both electronic (born digital) and also digitized which provides us powers we never ever had with conventional libraries. The current study envisages that many faculty libraries in India are at the different phases of digitization.

A novel colour image watermarking scheme based on Schur decomposition

A novel colour image watermarking scheme based on Schur decomposition is proposed in this paper. By analysing the 3 × 3 unitary matrix U via Schur decomposition, the strong similarity relation between U2,1 and U3,1 is found. This relation will represent one kind of embedded watermark information, i.e., '1' or '0', and will be used to extract watermark from 3 × 3 unitary matrix U in the blind manner. Moreover, the proposed method requires lower computational complexity than other methods based on singular value decomposition (SVD) since Schur decomposition is only an intermediate step in SVD decomposition. In addition, the proposed method does not have the false-positive detection problem like that based on SVD. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has better performance in terms of invisibility, robustness, capacity and real-time feature.
Preprocessing Profiling Model for Visual Analytics

Analyzing and managing raw data are still a challenging part of the data analysis process, mainly regarding data preprocessing. Although we can find studies proposing design implications or recommendations for visualization solutions in the data analysis scope, they do not focus on challenges during the preprocessing phase. Likewise, the current Visual Analytics processes do not consider preprocessing an equally important stage in their process. Thus, with this study, we aim to contribute to the discussion of how we can use and combine methods of visualization and data mining to assist data analysts during the preprocessing activities. To achieve that, we introduce the Preprocessing Profiling Model for Visual Analytics, which contemplates a set of features to inspire the implementation of new solutions. In turn, these features were designed considering a list of insights we obtained during an interview study with thirteen data analysts. Our contributions can be summarized as offering resources to promote a shift to a visual preprocessing.
Research on Performance Calibration and Comparison Method of Current-type Live Detection Equipment

The current-type live detection technology has been widely used in the state detection of power grid equipment. However, the manufacturing process of equipment from different manufacturers, the influence of on-site detection environment, and the operation and maintenance of instruments directly affect the performance of live detection equipment. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out the verification and comparison test research on the performance of current-type live detection equipment. In this paper, the performance testing methods of lightning arrester live detector, transformer core ground current detector and capacitive equipment relative dielectric loss detector are studied. The testing principles and methods of resistive current measurement error, full current measurement error, reference voltage measurement error, basic error , measurement repeatability and anti-harmonic interference performance are given. A performance verification and comparison platform for current-type live detection equipment are established. Combined with the actual application situation on site, the performance parameters of detection equipment from different manufacturers are compared and analyzed. Through the comparison test on the performance for the current-type live detection equipment, an important basis is provided for the arrival acceptance and periodic verification of the lightning arrester live detector, transformer core grounding current detector and capacitive equipment relative dielectric loss detector.
THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE SKILLS ACCUMULATION ON EDUCATIONAL QUALITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

This paper inquires ‘outcomes’ in education quality by focusing on issues related to cognitive skill development. Cognitive skills, which include literacy and numeracy, are defined as the “ability to understand complex ideas, adapt effectively to the environment, learn from experience, and reason” (The World Bank, 2017). UNESCO (2005, p.2) mentions the importance of cognitive development as “the major explicit objective of all education systems” and as one of the principles of defining quality in education. The first section of this paper will elaborate on the role of cognitive skills within the purpose and quality of education, followed by a section on teacher quality, and early childhood education since an amalgam of research states both factors having a significant statistical impact on cognitive skill formation (HW, 2015; Cunha& Heckman, 2017; Dahmann, 2015). The paper will conclude by touching issues regarding measurement and research gaps. There are several factors which enhance cognitive skill formation, and the aim of this research is not about assessing importance/relevance weights on specific factors; instead, it is an inquiry on the lack of cognitive skills within education quality.
LEARNING DENSE CONTEXTUAL FEATURES FOR SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION

Semantic segmentation, which is one of the key problems in computer vision, has been applied in various application domains such as autonomous driving, robot navigation, or medical imagery, to name a few. Recently, deep learning, especially deep neural networks, have shown significant performance improvement over conventional semantic segmentation methods. In this paper, we present a novel encoder-decoder type deep neural network-based method, namely XSeNet, that can be trained end-to-end in a supervised manner. We adapt ResNet-50 layers as the encoder and design a cascaded decoder that composes of the stack of the X-Modules, which enables the network to learning dense contextual information and having wider field-of-view. We evaluate our method using CamVid dataset, and experimental results reveal that our method can segment most part of the scene accurately and even outperforms previous state-of-the art methods.

The most impressive aspect of human intelligence is skill acquisition-identifying important behavioral components, retaining them as skills, refining them through practice, and applying them in new tasks. In the field of artificial intelligence, the representation and learning of such hierarchical skills are significant open problems. In this paper, we introduce the important applications of hierarchical learning, and the related models and methods of hierarchical learning, as well as problems and solutions encountered in the process of hierarchical learning.
Developing a Question Corpus for a Conversational Agent Designed to Prepare Interested Black Undergraduates for the Professoriate in STEM

To increase the number of African Americans in the highly demanding computing field, a conversational agent is being developed, serving as a supplemental virtual mentor for Black students pursuing the professoriate in engineering or computing. As data on the interest of Black undergraduates in pursuing the engineering and computing professoriate is limited in the literature, it is important to identify the level of interest, factors that contribute to, and questions Black students have about pursuing the professoriate. A survey was administered to undergraduate students at an HBCU enrolled in one of three computer science courses. The results identify levels of likelihood, persuasion and discouragement themes, as well as frequently asked questions over several variables for pursuing the professoriate in STEM as an African American. Questions and data on question type, grammar, syntax and word choice will be used to improve the knowledge database of the virtual mentor.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONTENT (1-3 CLASSES)

Education is one of the main factors for the socialization of adolescents on the one hand, and on the other is called upon to foster the personal development of each child. It is necessary for the modern education system not only to prepare the young generation to successfully solve problems of a different nature, but also to solve them effectively in a personal, professional and national level. This article presents results of a comparative analysis of the content of the course on technology and entrepreneurship in the first to third grade of BULVEST 2000 Publishing House, Anubis Publishing House, JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT BULGARIA, SOFIA, publishing team Nikolay Tsanev, Genoveva Yotova, Dochka Kyuchukova, Emilia Palamarkova, Magdalena Delinesheva, Orchidea Delieva. The European education policy, which includes all eight key competences to be on an equal footing [4], is also implemented with the subject "Technology and Entrepreneurship". The law on pre-school and school education creates new, exceptional opportunities for more flexible, creative and independent planning and organization of the process of technology education in primary school age. The Technology and Entrepreneurship Curriculum for 1-3 grade is part of the cultural and educational field "Technological Education and Vocational Education". It has a common mission to progressively develop technological literacy and competence of students as an essential element of their general culture and general education. The learning process is oriented not so much to the final results of the practical work as to the processes and the technology for their achievement. The goals related to the contemporary economic life, education in initiative, entrepreneurship and responsibility are confirmed by "Ordinance №5 from 30.11.2015. for general education promulgated in the State Gazette, issue 95 of 08.12.2015 "[3]. They meet the requirements to master basic knowledge, skills and attitudes that are geared not only to work and environmental protection but also to the world of technology and technology. Emphasis is placed on textbook content and accessibility and science requirements, in line with learners' educational needs, ie the use of a variety of educational approaches and didactic technologies to achieve optimal educational outcomes. State educational standards and a syllabus on Technology and Entrepreneurship are a new challenge for primary teachers and specialists. The Ministry of Education and Science determines not only a new name, but also important priorities in curriculum content, time allocation, and technologies for learning two key competencies.
Conditional Efficiency of Official Development Assistance (ODA) on Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa

&lt;p&gt;Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries have benefited for more than fifty years from international aid in the form of loans and/or donations. Nevertheless, they seem not to benefit from these massive financial resources (ODA) they receive because their economic and social situation is not very good. This study aims to assess the impact of ODA on economic growth in SSA and to see if its effect on growth is conditioned by the quality of the economic policy. The estimates are conducted on a dynamic panel of twenty-three SSA countries running from 1985 to 2014. With macroeconomic data from the World Bank's CD-ROM (World Development Indicators, 2015), the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) system from Blundel and Bond (1998) was used. The results show that the impact of ODA on growth is not significant. Subsequently, when squared aid (ODA2) is included in the estimate, ODA becomes significant, meaning that a substantial amount of assistance is required to be effective in raising the economic growth rate of the SSA countries. In addition, the effectiveness of ODA is conditioned by the quality of the economic policy. This seems to be bad in SSA, hence the negative impact of the aid on economic growth.&lt;/p&gt;

THE USE OF GOOGLE FORMS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS IN VALIDATING ORGANIZATIONS

Lifelong learning is one of the major challenges that education systems and education policies of the EU countries are facing at present. More and more people around the world are aware that their studies do not end with their high school or university graduation. They continue to educate themselves afterward via different opportunities - courses in private schools or vocational training centers, evening or extra-curricular training at high schools, self-study and more.A major problem of non-formal and informal learning is its quality. Employers need staff who can meet the quality standards established in their country or internationally. Given this, it is necessary to build systems for validation of the results of previous learning and to ensure the quality of these validation systems. It is, therefore, necessary to establish and implement validation quality assurance systems. The main purpose of this VQA system is to ensure a high quality of the validation process.Each validation quality assurance system should be integrated into the overall quality management system of the validating organization, which is part of its management system.Updating organizational management systems through the introduction and improvement of quality management systems is a basic necessity for all organizations, no matter their size. The adoption and operation of a quality management system should be considered a top priority in the management strategy of any organization seeking to increase its effectiveness. The sustainable development of every institution or company requires quality assurance.Essential activity related to these systems is surveying the opinion of two groups of people – the candidates for validation and their employers. To make the survey process more effective and efficient, it is appropriate to ask the question, "Are there modern technologies to make it easier?". The answer is, "Yes, of course – clickers, online polls and others."This paper considers the implementation of Google Forms as one such technology alternative for the facilitation of the survey process. The functionalities of the Internet-based software and the advantages of its use and the ways of dissemination of the surveys are explained. The alternatives for conducting the survey process by the indicated forms are discussed.
