In-Service Science Teacher’s Perceptions Towards the Use of Information Communication Technology Tools in Teaching and Learning in a COVID-19 Environment

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have been growing incredibly for the past twenty years in most sectors; however, much needs to be achieved within the education fraternity itself. Teachers are still relying on traditional teaching methods and Botswana is currently far behind in benefiting from ICT usage in the classroom. This study critically analysed the ICT infrastructure found in Botswana’s secondary schools, assesses teachers’ skills, knowledge, confidence, and their perception of the integration of ICT in teaching and learning. A mixed-methods approach was used to collect data from 350 respondents. The results revealed that ICT use and integration in Botswana secondary schools during the Covid – 19 period posed some challenges even though it was beneficial to an extent where there was learner academic improvement. This has been influenced by factors such as lack of skills, lack of confidence in the use of technology by teachers, and lack of ICT equipment in schools. The study recommends that schools should be equipped with the relevant ICT infrastructures, have adequate resources, and that facilitators should be trained on the right pedagogies and use of ICT in teaching and learning. Furthermore, curriculum developers should integrate ICT teaching in subject areas. The findings of this study will contribute to the correct pedagogies and best practices of teaching, and how issues teachers found in technology use can be solved and addressed amicably for the benefit of the greater masses. The educational stakeholders can make use of these findings to improve knowledge and attitudes toward the successful adoption and implementation of information and communication technologies in teaching and learning during the pandemic.

Contributions to the Study of Time Series and Images with the Entropy-Complexity Plane

In the context of non-parametric analysis of time series, the use of Ordinal Patterns combined with descriptors of Information Theory proved being powerful in characterizing processes underlying the data dynamics. Two are prominent among those descriptors: Shannon's entropy and Statistical Complexity; together, they define the Entropy-Complexity Plane (HC). Although powerful, this approach suffers from two major shortcomings: (i) there are no statistical tests, and (ii) there is some loss of valuable information when discarding the signal amplitude. This work brings solutions to those problems with (I) empirical tests in the HC plane, and (II) a modification in the transition graph of ordinal patterns, the Weighted Amplitude Transition Graph, which weights its edges using amplitude information. We show applications to white noise analysis, and to discrimination and classification of textures in remotely-sensed images. We also provide the code and data that promote reproducibility and replicability of these results.
Security, Privacy, and Compliance with the Law

Once only prominent government agencies and Fortune 1000 companies paid much attention to security. Now, any IT organization with even the smallest remit must make security and legal compliance a high priority or face the consequences. The landscape for security threats is more dangerous than ever. Whereas in the past, we faced malicious or curious hackers acting alone or in small groups, today, we have entire nation-states investing significant resources, time, and energy into hacking commercial entities.
Review Paper on Live Eye Gaze Tracking to Control Mouse Pointer Movement

Abstract: With recent advances in technology, modern computer systems are becoming more flexible. Modern computers are capable of processing millions of information per second. In such cases, traditional input devices such as a mouse or keyboard are relatively slow. In this paper we use system that can be overcome by human interaction with the computer. With innovation and development in technology, motion sensors are able to capture the position and natural movements of the human body. This has made possible a new way of communication with computers. So keeping all these in mind we propose a system which is an untouched and fast communication system. This system will be able to capture the movements of the eyeball for which it is responsible cursor control. The system processes the data in the camera feed and calibrates the parameter interface according to the user. The system then performs computer-related algorithms to determine the location of the doll's and use eyes to implement natural eye-computer interactions
Riemannian Complex Fuzzy Sets with Applications in Signals

Abstract The objective of this paper is to introduce the innovative concept of Riemannian complex fuzzy sets (RCFSs). We discussed some new operations and laws of a RCFS such as Riemannian complex fuzzy union, intersection, complement, disjunctive sum, simple difference, bounded difference, simple product, Cartesian product, probabilistic sum, bold sum, convex linear sum, relations, and distance functions. We studied the basic results and particular examples of these operations. We used RCFSs in signals and systems because its behavior is similar to a Fourier transform in certain cases. Moreover, we develop a new algorithm using RCFSs for applications in signals and systems by which we identify a reference signal out of large input signals detected by a system. We restricted the amplitude of the inverse discrete Fourier transform for incoming signals and a reference signal. Thus, a method for measuring the resembling values of two signals is provided by which we can identify the reference signal.

Potential-based community service (PMBP) is one of the important activities for the academic community as academic functional staff to develop knowledge, skills, and solve problems. This community service aims to provide education to the community about the importance of education, skills, and environmental stewardship. Individual potential-based community service activities (PMBP) of IKIP Budi Utomo Malang were carried out in Gunungsari Village, Pegergunung Hamlet and Claket Hamlet, Bumiaji Distriet, Batu City. This service activity is carried out from February 1 to March 31, 2022. This activity certainly has an impact on change for the village, where the results can be obtained, namely increasing learning development and being able to make products with their own hands that can be used as tablecloths. The result of this community service is an increase in knowledge, understanding, and awareness of education and the environment. However, this program cannot be carried out continuously due to time constraints in the implementation of PMBP. Therefore, we feel that this program is very good and needs to be followed up by the IKIP BUDI UTOMO MALANG campus

Community-Engaged Participatory Methods to Address Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning Young People’s Health Information Needs With a Resource Website: Participatory Design and Development Study (Preprint)

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people (aged 15 to 25 years) face unique health challenges and often lack resources to adequately address their health information needs related to gender and sexuality. Beyond information access issues, LGBTQ+ young people may need information resources to be designed and organized differently compared with their cisgender and heterosexual peers and, because of identity exploration, may have different information needs related to gender and sexuality than older people. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The objective of our study was to work with a community partner to develop an inclusive and comprehensive new website to address LGBTQ+ young people’s health information needs. To design this resource website using a community-engaged approach, our objective required working with and incorporating content and design recommendations from young LGBTQ+ participants. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> We conducted interviews (n=17) and participatory design sessions (n=11; total individual participants: n=25) with LGBTQ+ young people to understand their health information needs and elicit design recommendations for the new website. We involved our community partner in all aspects of the research and design process. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> We present participants’ desired resources, health topics, and technical website features that can facilitate information seeking for LGBTQ+ young people exploring their sexuality and gender and looking for health resources. We describe how filters can allow people to find information related to intersecting marginalized identities and how dark mode can be a privacy measure to avoid unwanted identity disclosure. We reflect on our design process and situate the website development in previous critical reflections on participatory research with marginalized communities. We suggest recommendations for future LGBTQ+ health websites based on our research and design experiences and final website design, which can enable LGBTQ+ young people to access information, find the right information, and navigate identity disclosure concerns. These design recommendations include filters, a reduced number of links, conscientious choice of graphics, dark mode, and resources tailored to intersecting identities. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Meaningful collaboration with community partners throughout the design process is vital for developing technological resources that meet community needs. We argue for community partner leadership rather than just involvement in community-based research endeavors at the intersection of human-computer interaction and health. </sec>
Lundaa as speech surrogate of Dagbamba

The paper examines surrogate language in Dagbani, a Mabia language spoken in Northern Region of Ghana. The objectives of the paper are in two folds: it pays attention to its functions and its transformation from traditional to the contemporary sociocultural issues. Premised on participant-observation, the paper supports the multi-toned language represented on a pressure drum capable of many pitches. It attests that the lundaa „pressure drum‟ is a speech surrogate used among Dagbani speakers. The lundaa has a wide distribution of functions but this paper is focused on the core functions of drum language that include molo „announcement‟, salima „Panegyric‟, ց iŋցaani „invocation‟ and ŋaha „proverbs‟ as examples of drum literature and transformation. The paper suggests that the communication potential of the lundaa rhythms and its interpretation leads to an understanding of the sociocultural life of the people.
Retinex-Based Light Source Generation for Relighting up Night Photography

Abstract Purpose: The lighting up of buildings is one of the entertainments that make a city more colorful, and photographer sometimes changes the lighting by using photo-editing applications. This paper proposes a method for automatically performing such an application that follows the Retinex theory. The Retinex theory indicates that the complex scenes caught by the human visual system are decomposed into illumination and reflectance components. Many Retinex applications take much cost into the decomposition, while we show that the decomposition accuracy is less dependent on the final output for the nightscape relighting. Methods: First, we propose an extracting method of a relighting saliency map using Retinex with edge-preserving filtering. Second, we propose a sampling method to specify the lighting area in the limited area. We show that relighting within the limited area can be represented without illumination and reflectance decomposition. We then show that this fact can be exploited to realize this application using a simple Retinex decomposition of the single-scale Retinex with fast edge-preserving filters to represent various lighting effects. Results: Experimental results show that the proposed sampling method is successful in keeping the illuminated points in bright locations and equally spaced. Also, the proposed various diffusion method can enhance night skyline photographs with various expressions. Conclusion: In this paper, we proposed a relighting method for night skyline images based on the Retinex theory. Unlike typical Retinex applications, the proposed method simplifies the process by carefully extracting the lighting points instead of performing a complex illumination and reflectance decomposition and allows various effects using various diffusion methods.

Design of Local Sharing Algorithm for Enterprise Financial Information Based on User-Defined Protocol

The financial shared service model now has a technological base thanks to recent advancements in the information technology sector. Cloud computing, big data, and other technologies are included. To some extent, it has produced the current financial shared service model. This service model not only realizes the front-end information input but also ensures the specialization of financial data. The business data provided from the front end may be translated into the financial data required by finance using the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. It overcomes the drawbacks of the existing financial system while also increasing its operating efficiency. The financial sharing service offers a high level of standardization of financial procedures while simultaneously lowering financial management costs. This allows the enterprise group to handle the financial systems of its subsidiaries in a uniform manner. It promotes the transparency of financial information, improves the overall competitive level of the enterprise group, and creates huge economic benefits for the enterprise group. Therefore, in the current operation stage of enterprises, the method of using the scientific service mode to maximize the economic benefits of enterprises has become an important problem. It is unlikely that understanding how to utilize it appropriately will have an impact on business operations. To ensure that enormous volumes of data are sent in an efficient and reliable manner, Gigabit Ethernet is used for the data transmission interface in this paper. On the one hand, an application layer user-defined protocol is meant to provide data transfer with high efficiency, speed, and reliability, while, on the other hand, on the basis of interface hardware program design, it is proposed to complete the modular design through the packaging of P core. It is the hardware foundation for interface data transfer. Finally, tests to validate its efficiency, speed, and dependability are devised.
The Perception of High School Students About Managerial Style of Teachers

From the point of view of education, management is a system of concepts, methods, tools of orientation and leadership, coordination, used in achieving the objectives of education, at the level of expected performance. Management, in its current approach, finds a specific application in the field of education management, as a complex action of directing, designing and evaluating the training, development of the personality of each individual, according to formulated goals. The present study aims to identify the managerial style of teachers in an Arad high school, respectively which is the predominant managerial style, agreed by students. In this sense, the main tool used to identify the managerial style of secondary school teachers was a questionnaire consisting of 35 items in 5 steps of response on a likert scale. The results showed that although the authoritarian managerial style, from the point of view of holistic perception, is less agreed by students, when they relate to their favorite teacher, there is a weighted increase of 10 percent of this style.

It was found that contemporary postmodern education is impossible without application of information and communication technologies, the use of which gradually leads to changes in the content, the methods and technologies of training future teachers. The analysis of scientific literature, which confirms recognition of ICT as a key technology of the 21st century and the urgency of the problem of development and application of educational technologies capable of modernizing and reforming traditional forms of education in order to meet the level of education of future teachers to the present-day requirements. The current trends of ICT in the training of future teachers in postmodern times are considered, modern practices (scenarios) of ICT use which are the most popular in the educational process of future teachers are singled out. The content of the following compulsory components, according to the authors, of professional training of future teachers, is generalized and concretized: didactic, legal, social and methodological. Discussion issues and perspective directions of future scientific research related to complex ethical contradictions due to uncertainty or lack of necessary knowledge, unexpected effects and insufficient transparency of functioning of information and communication technologies are outlined.
Wireless Android-Based Control of Plastic Crane Roll Control Prototype

Abstract - Overhead crane is a lifting tool used by almost all industries, ports, warehouses, workshops, and others. In general, the overhead crane control system is less effective and efficient because the operator still follows the direction of the crane's speed. In this case, problems often occur because the pendant switch which functions as a controller still uses a cable as a connector to the overhead crane panel. Various problems that often occur include cables breaking frequently due to being hit by a load lifted by the hoist, operators having difficulty setting a safe distance because they are limited by the length of the pendant switch cable. Based on the background of the problem, a control system is made which is expected to be able to control the overhead crane effectively and efficiently without using a cable as a connector but using an android smartphone. Control with an android smartphone using an android application with a wifi connection and an arduino uno R3 microcontroller. Based on the test results on this control system, device control can be controlled at a maximum distance of ± 100 meters as long as the device is still within wifi range. The control system can function optimally and the application can be installed on Android OS 4.0 (Jelly Bean) smartphones. Therefore, the use of a cable can be replaced with a wifi connection system to reduce friction with the cable and so that the operator can maintain a safe distance from the load to be moved because it is no longer limited by the length of the cable.
