A Matrix Iteration Algorithm With Pruning for Pinpointing Multivariate Correlations From High Dimensional Data Sets

There are a few dependent multivariate relationships among high dimensional data sets. Then how to identify these dependent variables from high dimensional data sets is an important issue for data analysis. Now, the most frequently used method is the enumeration method, that is all multivariate relationships in the high dimensional data sets are examined. However, the time complexity of the enumeration method is exponential (2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</sup> ) and the calculation load is very heavy when the dimension is high. Aiming at solving this problem, the matrix iteration algorithm with pruning (MIP) is proposed for pinpointing multivariate dependent relationships in high dimensional data sets without examining all multivariate relationships. Some not dependent relationships are ignored without examined by the pruning process of the proposed MIP and the computing burden is reduced. The maximal information coefficient (MIC) is adopted as the measure of correlations in the proposed MIP algorithm due to the excellent properties, generality and equitability, of MIC. In the case of the data set with 5 variables, more than 50% multivariate relationships are pruned without examining. Numerical experiments also show that the calculating burden is greatly reduced. Compared to the enumeration method, 82.5% calculating time and 98.5% calculating times of multivariate relationships are saved for the data set with two dependent multivariate relationships among 30 variables in the experiment. The proposed MIP algorithm is effective for pinpointing multivariate dependent relationships from data sets with high dimensions.
The Effect of Different Variables on Pre-service Science Teachers’ Level of Digital Literacy

Technology has been developing since the early days of humanity. The process starting with the invention of the wheel, for example, has proceeded with the development of two-wheeled carts and then with today's four-wheeled cars equipped with technology. As technology advances, digital transformation steps are taken in the education and training process. Digital transformation has many contributions both for learning and teaching purposes. For this reason, policies are developed to make more use of technology in education. In this respect, digital literacy levels of pre-service teachers which is one of the most important elements of the teaching-learning process are quietly important. The purpose of the current study is to determine the effects of the variables of grade level, gender, the state of having a social media account and the time spent on various technological tools on pre-service science teachers’ level of digital literacy. The study was conducted on 110 first and fourth-year students attending the department of science teaching. As the data collection tool, the 10-item Digital Literacy Scale was used. The cronbach-alpha reliability coefficient was calculated 0.86 for the original of the scale, the cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was calculated was found 0.88 on the research data. As the data showed a normal distribution, it was decided to use parametric statistical methods. The findings have revealed that the arithmetic mean score of the pre-service teachers’ digital literacy was found to be 3.82 out of 5. This value shows that the pre-service teachers’ level of digital literacy is good. Moreover, the pre-service teachers’ level of digital literacy was found to be varying significantly depending on grade level in favour of the fourth-year students while it was found to be not varying significantly depending on gender, the state of having a social media account and the time spent on various technological tools. It is suggested which students starting their undergraduate education should be provided with activities and applications that will enhance their level of digital literacy.
Touchless Hand Gesture Processing System

The emerging smart technologies have given rise to a new function called touchless control. This paper aims to achieve the touchless control for electrical appliancesby a user without touching any devices such as switches, buttonsand/or sensors. To achieve this aim, we use a touchless hand gesture processing system that is provided with an embedded kit and is operated according to a HAAR cascade classifier algorithm and a speeded up robust features (SURF) algorithm. The proposed system is operated in a general mode in which the applianes are operated by all users, and in a security mode in which the apploiances are operated only by an authenticated user. The processing of the hand gestures are obtained using the HAAR cascade classifier algorithm, and the porcessing of the face image is obtained using the SURF algorithm. The proposed system is used to ON/OFF the electrical appliances according to the hand gestures of the user, even in different lighting conditions.
Code-Switching (Russian - English) In The Discourse Of It-Specialists From Moscow

The paper proposes a linguistic approach to studying code-switching IT discourse of Moscovian IT specialists. The topic is of special interest since nowadays code-switching dominates in a number of professional spheres such as informational technologies, marketing and telecommunications. It also becomes a new language for the modern generation and moreover, a necessary tool for establishing contacts and demonstrating community affiliation. This new code exists not only within workplaces but also beyond them, that is why the aim is to provide a thorough linguistic and functional description on this topic. Also, there is an in-depth research into how IT discourse shapes Russian digital language on the whole. The methodology used for research is the Matrix Language Frame Model by C.Myers-Scotton (1993). The language units, which are represented by code-switches, are also analyzed in terms of their syntactic, morphological features and pragmatic functions.

PERWUJUDAN KESANTUNAN TINDAK TUTUR DIREKTIF BAHASA INDONESIA DALAM PELAYANAN KESEHATAN DI KALANGAN MASYARAKAT MULTIKULTURAL: SEBUAH TINJAUAN SOSIOPRAGMATIK

Differences in cultural and linguistic backgrounds in health services that occur in multicultural societies are the main issues in this study. This study seeks to resolve these cultural and linguistic differences by analyzing the politeness of directive speech acts in Indonesian. The aim is to find and describe the manifestation of politeness in the Indonesian language directive speech acts used by speakers in health services among multicultural communities. This research is a case study in certain multicultural communities in the realm of health services. This study uses a sociopragmatics approach and language politeness. This research uses a mixed method design with concurrent embedded models to interpret data. The research data were obtained using the DCT (Discourse Completion Test). A test complementing discourse was given to 60 respondents who are a reflection of a multicultural society. The results show that to overcome differences in cultural and language backgrounds in multicultural societies, respondents use language politeness choices according to the Indonesian cultural context by using linguistic politeness markers, such as sorry, beg, please, come, and please and use of culturally appropriate greetings. Indonesian culture. Respondents chose to use negative politeness strategies as an effort to protect the patient's face and to produce a high level of politeness. The findings based on the results of quantitative data processing in this study support the findings of qualitative research. The findings research show that there is an influence of social variables such as gender, health insurance, educational background, and age of the speaker, as well as the gender of the speaker on the level of politeness and strategy of directive speech act politeness in health services. This is in line with the findings of qualitative research that considers social status in using the Indonesian language directive speech act politeness strategy. The main variable that most influences the choice of courtesy of directive speech acts is the speaker's age so that the speakers must consider these social variables appropriately. Based on these findings, it can be formulated that the realization of directive speech act politeness in health services is adjusted to the characteristics of the patient's social status so that communication can run smoothly and problems related to differences in cultural backgrounds in multicultural societies can be resolved.
Understanding L2 Morphosyntax Processing from Domain-General and Domain-Specific Language Processing Perspectives: Review of Theories and Studies

Morphosyntactic processing involves grammatical knowledge and real time sentence processing ability, which simultaneously interact with each other. To elucidate this multifaceted phenomenon, the present paper discusses relevant theories and the empirical findings with a focus on L2. To this end, the present study reviews a range of current theoretical perspectives covering learners’ grammatical knowledge from domain-specific theories of linguistics (e.g., the Shallow Structure Hypothesis, (Clahsen & Felser, 2006a)) as well as more domain general theories that involve general information processing through attention and memory (e.g., cue-based parsing in L2 (Cunning, 2017a) and the DP model (Ullman, 2001a)). A critical review of the findings of 11 ERP studies examining L2 morphology processing suggests that several learner factors, along with feature checking dependency length, influence and determine the success of L2 morphology processing. These findings are suggested to be best embraced within the DP model and cue-based parsing framework.
Digitalization of education: modern challenges and strategies to overcome them

One of the priority areas for the development of education is the introduction of information and communication technologies, which ensures the improvement of the educational process, the availability and efficiency of education, the preparation of the young generation for life in the information society, and among the main tasks is the creation of conditions for the development of the industry of modern teaching aids (educational -methodical, electronic, information and communication). In this article, the authors investigated strategies for formal education, and analyzed the main challenges and approaches to the "digitalization" of education. The rapid and profound consequences of the transition to digital will be possible only when digital transformation becomes the basis of the life of society, business and government institutions, becomes a familiar and commonplace phenomenon, becomes DNA, a key element on the path to prosperity, and becomes the basis of prosperity. Digital literacy (or digital competence) is recognized as one of the keys for a full life and human activity, therefore, the formation of information and communication competence is mandatory. This will help to ensure the right of everyone to receive education throughout life, equal conditions of access to education, regardless of the place of study.
3D Topology Transformation with Generative Adversarial Networks

Generation and transformation of images and videos using artificial intelligence have flourished over the past few years. Yet, there are only a few works aiming to produce creative 3D shapes, such as sculptures. Here we show a novel 3D-to-3D topology transformation method using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). We use a modified pix2pix GAN, which we call Vox2Vox, to transform the volumetric style of a 3D object while retaining the original object shape. In particular, we show how to transform 3D models into two new volumetric topologies - the 3D Network and the Ghirigoro. We describe how to use our approach to construct customized 3D representations. We believe that the generated 3D shapes are novel and inspirational. Finally, we compare the results between our approach and a baseline algorithm that directly convert the 3D shapes, without using our GAN.

Application of NoSQL Technology to Facilitate Storing and Retrieval of Clinical Data Using IndexedDb in Offline Conditions

Data collection is a very important aspect of any research, especially while dealing with the collection of clinical data. This paper presents a way to collect and manage clinical data using a web application with offline functionality. The whole application is an end-to-end PWA providing an interface to collect the data, store, and query. The available data is very huge and it is unstructured. To store it, a NoSQL database such as Cassandra is most suitable. The data will mostly be used for an OLAP system for querying the data, cleaning and performing analysis on it. In the process of collection of data, the application has to work under low or no bandwidth conditions for which a NoSQL system provided by most web browsers called IndexedDB, can be used to locally store data under offline conditions.
Transitioning to the next generation of metadata: maximising the discoverability and use of digital resources

The recently published OCLC Research report 'Transitioning to the Next Generation of Metadata' synthesizes six years (2015-2020) of OCLC Research Library Partners Metadata Managers Focus Group discussions and what they may foretell for the 'next generation of metadata'. The firm belief that metadata underlies all discovery regardless of format, now and in the future, permeates all Focus Group discussions. Yet metadata is changing. Innovations in librarianship are exerting pressure on metadata management practices to evolve as librarians are required to provide metadata for far more resources of various types and to collaborate on institutional or multi-institutional projects with fewer staff. OCLC Research Senior Program Officer Karen Smith-Yoshimura, the author of the report, will be co-presenting with Helen Williams, Metadata Manager at LSE and a Focus Group member. Karen will highlight some of the trends covered in the report with Helen focusing on the UK context: • The Transition to Linked Data and Identifiers • Describing “Inside-Out” and “Facilitated” Collections • Evolution of “Metadata as a Service” • Preparing for Future Staffing Requirements

Information Leakage Games: Exploring Information as a Utility Function

A common goal in the areas of secure information flow and privacy is to build effective defenses against unwanted leakage of information. To this end, one must be able to reason about potential attacks and their interplay with possible defenses. In this article, we propose a game-theoretic framework to formalize strategies of attacker and defender in the context of information leakage, and provide a basis for developing optimal defense methods. A novelty of our games is that their utility is given by information leakage, which in some cases may behave in a non-linear way. This causes a significant deviation from classic game theory, in which utility functions are linear with respect to players’ strategies. Hence, a key contribution of this work is the establishment of the foundations of information leakage games. We consider two kinds of games, depending on the notion of leakage considered. The first kind, the QIF -games , is tailored for the theory of quantitative information flow. The second one, the DP -games , corresponds to differential privacy.
