Intelligent Scheduling of Bag-of-Tasks Applications in the Cloud

The need of efficient provision resources in cloud computing is imperative in meeting the performance requirements.The design of any resource allocation algorithm is dependent on the type of workload.BoT (Bag-of-Tasks) which is made up of batches of independent tasks are predominant in large scale distributed systems such as the cloud and efficiently scheduling BoTs in heterogeneous resources is a known NP-Complete problem.In this work, the intelligent agent uses reinforcement learning to learn the best scheduling heuristic to use in a state.The primary objective of BISA (BoT Intelligent Scheduling Agent) is to minimize makespan.BISA is deployed as an agent in a cloud testbed and synthetic workload and different configurations of a private cloud are used to test the effectiveness of BISA.The normalized makespan is compared against 15 batch mode and immediate mode scheduling heuristics.At its best, BISA produces a 72% lower average normalized makespan than the traditional heuristics and in most cases comparable to the best traditional scheduling heuristic.
68‐2: Data‐driven Image Enhancement Using Deep Neural Networks for a Display Image Pipeline

A data‐driven image reproduction algorithm on the conventional simple image pipeline with deep neural networks is proposed. The deep neural networks determining the pipeline parameter values are learned by end‐to‐end training of the pipeline. The algorithm is efficient because the network operates in low‐resolution mode and the image operators for the pixel‐wise image full‐resolution transfers are ready in most of display image pipeline hardware. A user study on the challenging images indicates that the model performs well on complicated content‐dependent image enhancement transformation: the image appearance is preferred to several other methods.
Interaction Design of Refreshable Braille Display to Support Learning for The Visually Impaired Kids

Impaired vision is a condition where someone is unable to see clearly, even when they are using glasses and in condition where there is enough amount of light. Impaired vision in Indonesia is not only become health problem, but has already become social problem. One of the social needs is education. However, people with impaired vision have differences way in how they learn, because they use braille characters in their education process. There is a device to support the braille learning which name is refreshable braille display. However, the devices are usually sold in a very expensive price. Based on the background and the above phenomenon, this research is about to do the design of low-cost refreshable braille display for educational needs.
Solving quadratic assignment problem by symbiotic organisms search algorithm

Symbiotic organisms search algorithm (SOS) is a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on the symbiotic relationship between the biological, which was proposed in recent years. In this paper, we propose new robust and powerful metaheuristic algorithm called an improved version of symbiotic organisms search algorithm integrated with construction algorithm and mutation operators (ISOS) to solve quadratic assignment problems. The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) considers NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem and has various practical applications. A set of benchmarks from QAPLIB Library are employed to evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm. ISOS is compared to several algorithms in the literature. The comparisons show that the proposed algorithm shows reliable, efficient and promising results.

Research of Numerical Methods for Engineering Course with New Engineering Feature

This paper focuses on the course teaching system reform for numerical methods for engineering with new engineering feature. The course of numerical methods for engineering has strong theoretical knowledge, complicated experiments and calculation, which is difficult to active the students' attention. Thus the existing curriculum system should be reformed. Take the course of numerical methods for engineering in Light industrial mechanics department for example. Firstly, based on the teaching idea, strengthen the process of the students in school education. Introduce interaction between students and teachers; promote initiative of students, continuous improvement to achieve leapfrogging. Secondly, improve the teaching methods and means. Breaks the traditional teaching mode and emphasizes students' participation consciousness. Put the students in the central position of classroom teaching and fundamentally change the students' class status. Then, design the teaching content, the course can be divided into several modules to give lectures and arrange discussion between students and teachers. Fourthly, modularize method and continuous improvement is applied in our teaching thoroughly, and guide the students to participate in teaching processing actively. Finally, establish a perfect assessment way, sum up experience timely, and constantly revise and improve our reform. With these, a good start can be made for the reform for numerical methods for engineering in new engineering education.
Ecotoxicological assessment of pollutants migration in ecosystem

One of the key ecotoxicological indexes at the pollutants' danger assessment is the migration in the ecosystem.As a rule, plant up-taking is characterized as the main migration channels in the "soil-plant" system.Investigation of contaminants up-take by plant in polluted soil is important because it gives the possibility to compare toxicants dangerous as well as to predict their translocation and harmful influence on plant.T 50 index (half-life period) also highlights the pollutants behavior in soil because it characterizes their persistent in environment.Pollutants migration rate depends on their properties, doze and environment peculiarities.

Providing psychological support to pregnant women in childbirth by obstetrician service staff

Aims of study. The aim of this study was to investigate the theoretical foundations of psychological support for women in childbirth during midwifery activities.&#x0D; Results. An important condition for increasing the efficiency of the treatment process is not only taking into account the patient’s psychological peculiarities, but also providing psychological support to patients during medical care, in particular midwifery activity. Research on different aspects of psychological support is noted in the works of domestic and foreign psychologists who reveal the humanistic ideas of personal development interaction, requiring building a subject-subject relationship in the process of communication. A number of publications are presented in the modern literature concerning the role of psychological support in professional midwifery activities. According to the authors, this area is an important professional responsibility of obstetrician service staff. A special role is played by the psychological support of patients during childbirth. The relationship of the characteristics of the birth process with the emotional state of mothers is noted in modern literature. Psychological support for women in childbirth should be given with the knowledge of the patients’ specific psychological characteristics in this period. The state of consciousness of a woman in childbirth is one of the important psychological factors that require the attention of medical personnel. The altered state of consciousness (ASC) in childbirth, which has an adaptive role, is important for both active labor and reducing pain sensitivity in childbirth. A maladaptive ASC, on the contrary, interferes with the birth process and increase pain sensitivity. Depending on the activity, the psychological component of the generic dominant will manifest itself in an adaptive or maladaptive ASC, with psychological support for women during childbirth contributing to the activation of an adaptive ASC.&#x0D; Conclusion. Analysis of the psychological characteristics of women during childbirth showed the importance of considering the state of consciousness of the patient and the activity of the psychological component of the generic dominant when determining the strategy of psychological support.

This research was based on students� difficulties in understanding the concept of politeness and gender. Advertisement can be one of the alternative techniques to improve students� understanding on the concept of politeness and gender. This study aims at improving students� understanding of politeness and gender and finding the factors influencing the improvement. This Classroom Action Research involved ten third-year-students at STIBA Persada Bunda Pekanbaru. The data collection techniques used were tests, fieldnotes, observation, and interview. The results showed that students� understanding of politeness and gender significantly improved after applying advertisements in the teaching and learning process in which the students� understanding which were at the low level category increases to the good level category. Some factors affecting the students� improvement were students� active participation in obtaining information and students� enthusiasm during the learning process. In conclusion, the implementation of advertisements can improve students� understanding of politeness and gender concepts.
Filling missing values by local reconstruction for incomplete label distribution learning

Label distribution learning (LDL) deals with the problems when we care more about the relative importance of different labels in the description of an instance, where labels are associated with each instance to some degree. LDL has achieved great success in many applications, but most existing LDL methods cannot handle learning tasks with incomplete annotation information. In this paper, we propose a novel incomplete label distribution learning method based on local reconstruction (IncomLDL-LR). Both the feature matrix and label information are included in a unified Principal Component Analysis (PCA) model to describe the intrinsic structure of original data in the supervised low-dimensional space. Based on the reasonable assumption that the incomplete label of each instance can be linearly reconstructed from its neighbours' labels, IncomLDL-LR gradually recovers the missing label values by the averaged column score of corresponding neighbours in the PCA space. The proposed algorithms are compared with state-of-the-art algorithms using five LDL evaluation metrics on 15 public datasets. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our proposal.

Pedagogical Training in the Preparation of Prospective Teachers of Professional Economic Subjects

The paper deals with the pedagogical training the researchers consider to be necessary in the undergraduate preparation of prospective teachers.It has its irreplaceable place in the curriculum of universities which have been preparing prospective teachers of vocational subjects.The undergraduate teachers' education consists of four components: general background, pedagogical-psychological component, subject-matter and pedagogical training.There is a trend in all faculties educating prospective teachers that the subject-matter is far more important than the other three components.The researchers present the concept of qualitative and quantitative research.The aim of the qualitative research was to identify the weaknesses of the prospective teachers' performance.The research method of moderated discussion was used and 32 prospective teachers from the faculty schools were the respondents.The researchers found that the most common problems for the prospective teachers when teaching were to manage class discipline, to have the ability to motivate students, and the lack of adequacy of the topic when lecturing.The aim of quantitative research was to determine the quality of the pedagogical training at the faculty training schools.To meet the research aim three research hypotheses were set.Forty -seven students of the master's study programme Teaching of Economic Subjects at the University of Economics in Prague took part in the research.Through the form of the questionnaire survey, students' attitudes were assessed on various evaluated aspects of pedagogical training.The course of pedagogical training was evaluated by students positively (1.80); the material equipment of training schools (2.51) and the time range of pedagogical training (2.06) were assessed as a weaker side.The research hypotheses were confirmed.On the basis of the results of the research, the researchers propose possible measures to improve pedagogical training.The researchers are of the opinion that it is appropriate to include various forms of training in the preparation of prospective teachers to bring theory into line with training, but it is important to remember that no simulations will replace the direct experience in real situations, in training schools.
Customized L2 e-courses as a Shortcut to Developing Learner Autonomy and Lingua-Professional Competences of Students Majoring in Finance and Law

Senior Bachelor and Master Students in economic and law universities view English for Special Purposes (ESP) course as an essential component in developing both their linguistic and vocational competences.The paper argues that reliance on the use of e-shaped professionally-relevant materials is a shortcut to professional jargon acquisition and pre-employment immersion into future job realities.The existing shortage of published ESP textbooks for students of finance and law stipulates the necessity for the teachers to develop their own customized courses tailored for particular students' needs.Embracing the opportunities provided by information technologies and custom-built e-courses composed of autonomous e-modules has helped to create a personalized virtual learning environment for ESP students of any learning profile or academic background.In addition, it has helped in responding to the challenging contemporary labor market demands.The paper hypothesizes the paramount importance of converting selected study materials into an interactive electronic format in order to better equip students of finance and law with linguistic and professional skills.A questionnaire related to the students' perceptions on the e-course relevance on 5-point Likert-type scale was administered to 208 bachelor and master undergraduates in Finance.This was administered after the pilot introduction of a configurable e-course at the Faculty of Distance Education in Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (PRUE), Moscow, Russia.Thus, it was also administered to 67 bachelor and master students of law and finance of Yerevan Gladzor University (YGU), Armenia.The survey concludes that tailored e-training courses get a massive student support and serve as a springboard for boosting students' lingua-professional development and enhancing learner autonomy.However, the findings also revealed that the participants of the study even in geographically remote universities, who have quite different cultural and multicultural specificities and prefer working with the printed out paper-based version of the interactive courses, significantly outnumber (83%) those who rely solely on e-learning format (34%).The results of the study are critical to e-courses developers, university IT and administrative staff, and it also provide trajectories for further research.

Construction of Complete Orthogonal Genuine Multipartite Entanglement State*

With the development of quantum information processing, multipartite entanglement measures are needed in many cases. However, there are still no complete orthogonal genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) bases available as Bell states to bipartite systems. To achieve this goal, we find a method to construct complete orthogonal GME states, and we exclude many equivalent states by leveraging the group theory. We also provide the case of a 3-order 3-dimensional Hilbert space as an example and study the application of general results in the dense coding scheme as an application. Moreover, we discuss some open questions and believe that this work will enlighten extensive studies in this field.

Russia - Leading with 21st Century Skills : Partnerships for Transformative Action

This book explores the premise that coding is an essential 21st century skill required for all. Learning of coding does not merely mean learn the syntax, grammar and usage of a specific computer language like Python or Ruby, but the deeper concept of computational thinking. It is possible to learn aspects of computational thinking without learning coding, but coding is essential to acquire a sound understanding and knowledge of computational thinking. The book is intended to be helpful to policy makers at the Federal and Regional level who are concerned about the need for the Russian Education system to be responsive to the demands that will be faced by children growing up today into a networked, connected world of ever-increasing digitization and online and offline collaboration. The book will also be helpful to teachers and parents and other adults who are interested in understanding more about the subject of preparing children for the 21st century from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It is also useful to explain what this book is not, even though it refers to a substantive body of rich and growing academic work on the subject, it is not intended to be an academic work that would contribute new knowledge. Most of this academic work does not appear in headlines or social media feeds of non-specialists, but quite a bit of the work is very interesting and relevant. This book has tried to translate some of this knowledge in understandable terms to policy makers and practitioners, without oversimplifying complex realities. An extensive set of references including website urls will allow the interested reader to delve deeper into any of the topics.
The Use of Substitution and Its Contribution to the Text Cohesion in Students’ Expository Texts

The present study intends to investigate the use of substitution in students’ expository texts. It covers the types of substitution used by the students in their expository texts and the contribution of substitution to the texts’ cohesion. This study uses qualitative research through case study design. The participants in this study are nine students of twelfth grade in a public senior high school in Kuningan. The data in the present study are the documents of students’ expository texts. The data are analyzed by using the frameworks of cohesive devices proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976). The findings indicate that there is only one substitution found in this study namely nominal substitution. The present study also delineates that the use of substitution contributes to the process of avoiding repetition and text redundancy. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the use and the contribution of substitution in students’ expository texts are still considered low. Thus, the encouragement is very necessary for the students to use appropriate substitution to make their texts more cohesive.
