The Dilemma in Conducting an Action Research as a Tool for Professional Development of the Senior High School Teachers

The main purpose of this study was to identify the dilemmas in conducting an action research of the Senior High School Teachers in E.0 189 Schools in Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan. It also described the actual involvement of the SHS Teachers on action research and identified the factors that can help teachers to undertake an action research. The research method employed in this study was mixed method approaches which is embedded in concurrent type of mixed method. The questionnaires administered to 39 SHS Teachers. All of the questionnaires were properly filled and returned. In addition to this, interview and document analysis were made to collect the necessary information. Results obtained were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and narratives. The results of the study revealed that (1) half of the total respondents were female and very young by profession. But despite of being new in the field, most of them were licensed teacher and unit earners in graduate studies which implies that the SHS Teachers in E.0 189 Schools were very qualified in the Senior High Schools. (2) Since most of the SHS Teachers in E.O 189 were new, their status in undertaking an action research was very low. They do not have any background in conducting AR because they have not been/yet attended any related seminars and material references on action research. However, (3) the perception of SHS Teachers in the contribution of action research was positive. According to them it improves their knowledge and skills in research thus, can help them to develop their teaching and social skills with their learners. (4) Despite of the positive perceptions made by the SHS Teachers, their actual involvement was still very low because of the factors that unable them to undertake AR. Such as the, existence of inadequate trainings and seminars, insufficient reference materials and budget of school. But then, (5) the motivating factors that enable teacher to undertake an action research were conducting a seminar-workshop annually intended for the teachers, sufficient material references and fund for the study.

Analysis of Relationships among Variables Affecting Career Preparation Behavior of Female Engineering Students

문화적 다양성이 혁신과 창의성을 촉진한다는 관점에서 여성 공학인력 양성을 위한 노력들이 이어지고 있다. 그러나, 실제 공학 분야 여성 인력 비중은 여전히 낮으며 남성이 절대적으로 많은 수를 차지하고 있는 공학 분야에서 공학계열 여학생들은 여러 가지 진로장벽에 부딪히며 어려움을 겪는다. 본 연구의 목적은 공학계열 여대생의 진로준비 행동에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 탐색함으로써 진로교육을 위한 정책적·실천적 시사점을 제공하는 데에 있다. 이를 위해 사회인지진로이론에 기반하여 진로준비행동의 선행 요인으로 교육과정 인식, 진로결정자기효능감, 진로결과기대, 전공흥미를 상정하였으며, 전국 13개 대학 공학계열 여대생 547명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하고 가설적 연구모형을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 연구모형은 양호한 적합도를 보였으며, 진로결정자기효능감에 대한 교육과정 인식의 영향력, 진로결과기대에 대한 교육과정 인식과 진로결정자기효능감의 영향력, 전공흥미에 대한 진로결정자기효능감의 영향력, 진로준비행동에 대한 전공흥미의 영향력이 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 진로결과기대가 전공흥미에 미치는 영향력은 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 공학계열 여대생들의 진로준비행동을 교육과정인식, 진로결정자기효능감, 전공흥미의 총체적인 과정을 통해 이해할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 각 요인들을 촉진시키기 위한 전략들에 대해 논의하였다.Cultural diversity in the engineering field is an important factor in promoting innovation and creativity. In this context, efforts are made to nurture female engineers, but in the male-centered engineering culture, female engineering students suffer from a variety of career barriers. The purpose of this study is to provide practical and theoretical implications for career education by analyzing the relationship between variables affecting career preparation behavior of female engineering students. For this purpose, based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), it was presumed that perception of curriculum, career decision-making self-efficacy, career outcome expectation, and major interest were predictors of career preparation behavior. Data were collected from 547 college students from 13 universities and the hypothetical research model was verified. The results of the study showed that the research model showed a good fit, and the effect of perception of curriculum on career decision-making self-efficacy, the effect of perception of curriculum and career decision-making self-efficacy on career outcome expectation, the effect of career decision-making self-efficacy on major interest, and the effect of major interest on career preparation behavior were statistically significant. On the other hand, the effect of career outcome expectation on major interest was not statistically significant. Based on the results, it was found that the career preparation behaviors of female engineering students need to be understood through the whole process of perception of curriculum, career decision-making self-efficacy, and major interest, and strategies for promoting each factor were discussed.

Old and New Days in Advertising Copy

Copy must compete for attention with many other appeals for the readers’ free dollars. Copy must take cognizance of both the extent and limitations of readers’ interests, incomes, tastes, habits and methods of buying. Copy that tells the whole story handicaps rather than helps the salesmen. Some copy must sell the dealer, some must sell the consumer, some must sell confidence to the advertiser’s organization. To-day, the term “copy” covers specialized skill and training in the search for and selection of the idea which shall be expressed in the advertiser’s campaign. The copy writer must remember that good advertising is essentially reiteration. One of the current fallacies is that the style of the writer or the artist or the organization is more important to an advertiser than the services of experts who believe their best work is done in developing an individual, distinctive style for the advertising itself.
Semantic based Information Retrieval System by using WSD and DICE Coefficient

In many NLP applications such as machine translation, content analysis and information retrieval, word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an important technique. In the information retrieval (IR) system, ambiguous words are damaging effect on the precision of this system. In this situation, WSD process is useful for automatically identifying the correct meaning of an ambiguous word. Therefore, this system proposes the word sense disambiguation algorithm to increase the precision of the IR system. This system provides additional semantics as conceptually related words with the help of glosses to each keyword in the query by disambiguating their meanings. This system uses the WordNet as the lexical resource that encodes concepts of each term. In this system, various senses that are provided by WSD algorithm have been used as semantics for indexing the documents to improve performance of IR system. By using keyword and sense, this system retrieves the relevant information according to the Dice similarity method.

Man-Tracking and Sign Cutting by Surveillance UAV

Man-tracking and sign cutting is one of the most essential tools for border patrol agents as it provides clues about events that have happened during the agent's absence. However, it's a manual process that consume a lot of time and manpower. the recent advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Cameras resolution, and most importantly the computer vision & visual recognition technology makes the argument to computerize the Man-tracking process so compelling. in this paper we investigate the possibilities and limitations of computer vision in this field. It's important to highlight here that our focus is on past events tracking, detecting signs 1-24 hours old, not the ground moving target tracking where the computer vision detect a moving object and follow it in real time.

1-to-100-micron surface height full-field 3D topography by use of the external reflectance versus height conversion method

We propose “the external reflectance versus height conversion (ERHC) method” for measuring the full-field three-dimensional surface topography of a sample height from one micron to 100 micrometers. It is similar to the camera method, capturing images reflected and/or not from a prism by using a lens and a CCD. The reflectance of a point in the image can be converted to the height of the point. The method can obtain large-area full-field real-time three-dimensional measurement results and has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, and easy assembly. The measurement area is in the range of a few square millimeters for each time. The lateral and vertical resolutions are 2 and 0.1 micrometers, respectively, and the error is about 1% compared with the confocal microscope.
Compensation and Workers’ Dedication in Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria

This research examined the relationship between compensation and workers’ dedication in Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria. Performance and skills based compensation were used as dimensions of the predictor variable while affective and continuance commitment were used as measures of workers’ dedication. Cross-sectional survey research design was used for the study. A total of two hundred and forty four (244) existing employees’  were drawn from a population of six hundred and twenty five (625) existing employees’ across manufacturing firms in Nigeria, using Taro Yamane’s formula for sample size determination and Krejcie & Morgan (1970) formula for sub-sample size calculation. The researcher collected data on the individual employees, using a five point Likert Scale questionnaire. The questionnaire was validated via, content validity while Cronbach alpha was used to test for reliability of the research instrument. The data collected was analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The analyses were conducted using statistical package for social sciences version 20.0. The result of the findings revealed that performance and skills based compensation give rise to affective and continuance commitment respectively. Based on empirical findings, the researcher then concluded that compensation positively impacts workers’ commitment.
Globalization: Information Technology and Economic Growth Nexus: Empirical Evidence from ARDL Model Approach to Co-integration and Causality Analysis

This study provides a realistic examination of link between economic growth, information technology and its elements with particular attention on the stock market advancement in Pakistan.  Our results recommend a positive connection between well-organized stock market and economic growth equally in long run and short run. In financial theory globalization information technology would affect the increase economic development. This study investigates the influence of globalization and economic advancement on income disparity in Pakistan. In this study, we used the annual time series data and also used autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) econometric technique. We collected this data 1973 to 2014 from state bank of Pakistan and international financial statistics. From this study, it is decided that, globalization information technology has substantial effect on income parity; the economic growth rate is also achieving the income equality. In the policy outlook trade openness, foreign payment, foreign direct investment, may contribute in reducing inequality, the key variables used in this study are like savings, inflation, and exchange rate, gross domestic product, investment. This implies that, if this country wants to increase the economic growth, then to formulate and strictly implement some particular policies that facilitate investment in ICT.

An Evaluation Framework for Defense Informatization Policy

The sentence, "You can't manage what you don't measure" is alleged to have been used by Peter Drucker or Edward Deming [1] and suggests the importance of measurement.An evaluation is "an assessment, as systematic and objective as possible, of an on-going or completed project, program or policy, its design, implementation and results" [2] or an assessment of policy effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, and coherence during and after implementation.It seeks to measure outcomes and impacts to assess and determine whether the anticipated benefits of policy have been realized [3].It "should provide information that is credible and useful, enabling the incorporation of lessons learned into the decision-making process of both recipients and donors" [2].In addition, an evaluation refers to the process of judging the value and merits of the object to be evaluated based on certain criteria and procedures.It is an important part of the logical process using which public or private organizations determine the policy: that is, they start by making a plan, followed by implementing or executing the plan or policy, and then evaluating the outcomes and processes, and further taking any follow-up action based on the evaluation results [4].This study proposes a framework to assess the defense informatization policy (DIP) in terms of the validity of policy-making, the appropriateness of the policy-making process, the adequacy of performance by the policy at the policy-making stage; the properness of policy implementation at the policy implementation stage; achievement of performance objectives, adequacy of the performance analysis process, and utilization of analysis results at the outcome/performance stage.It also describes quantitative evaluation indicators for each item for policy evaluation.The remainder of this paper is organized as follows.It reviews existing works related to the evaluation of the DIP in Section 2. We suggest a framework for the evaluation of DIP and describe evaluation indicators and their measuring method in Section 3.

Generic Integration of VR and AR in Product Lifecycles Based on CAD Models

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) play an important role for the implementation of Industry 4.0 - especially in the area of virtual prototyping, manufacturing and maintenance. Thus, a holistic integration of these technologies in existing processes structures is essential to ensure future competitiveness of companies. Current research mostly focuses on some aspects of the lifecycle and not on the whole process. Furthermore, mostly specific tools are developed to create AR and VR contents instead of using already existing and widespread programs for example the 3D CAD software Inventor [1] or game engines like Unity [2]. The tools are used to create VR content providing a user-friendly environment with limited options for content creation. On one side the use of these programs decreases the required knowledge to create Mixed Reality applications, however they are associated with high implementation and running costs. This increases the entry barrier for small and medium sized enterprises (SME) to adopt AR and VR into their value chains significantly.The presented work discusses concepts and proposes information models for adding VR-specific information directly in CAD environments. A generic model of necessary interaction options as well as VR properties is created and applied to a use case in the Industry 4.0 model factory at FH Aachen, Germany. Furthermore, a workflow for combined evaluation of product and equipment developments is developed focusing on VR integration.[1] Autodesk GmbH: Inventor. 3D-CAD-Software fr Produktentwicklung. 2018[2] Unity Technologies: Unity. 2018
Adaptation Proposed Methods for Handling Imbalanced Datasets based on Over-Sampling Technique

Classification of imbalanced data is an important issue. Many algorithms have been developed for classification, such as Back Propagation (BP) neural networks, decision tree, Bayesian networks etc., and have been used repeatedly in many fields. These algorithms speak of the problem of imbalanced data, where there are situations that belong to more classes than others. Imbalanced data result in poor performance and bias to a class without other classes. In this paper, we proposed three techniques based on the Over-Sampling (O.S.) technique for processing imbalanced dataset and redistributing it and converting it into balanced dataset. These techniques are (Improved Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (Improved SMOTE), Borderline-SMOTE + Imbalanced Ratio(IR), Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (ADASYN) +IR) Algorithm, where the work these techniques are generate the synthetic samples for the minority class to achieve balance between minority and majority classes and then calculate the IR between classes of minority and majority. Experimental results show ImprovedSMOTE algorithm outperform the Borderline-SMOTE + IR and ADASYN + IR algorithms because it achieves a high balance between minority and majority classes.
Color image multi-scale guided depth image super-resolution reconstruction

In order to obtain better super-resolution reconstruction results of depth images, this paper constructs a multi-scale color image guidance depth image super-resolution reconstruction convolutional neural network. In this paper, the multi-scale fusion method is used to realize the guidance of high resolution (HR) color image features to low resolution (LR) depth image features, which is beneficial to the restoration of image details. In the process of extracting features from LR depth images, a multiple receptive field residual block (MRFRB) is constructed to extract and fuse the features of different receptive fields, and then connect and fuse the features of each MRFRB output to obtain global fusion features. Finally, the HR depth image is obtained through sub-pixel convolution layer and global fusion features. The experimental results show that the super-resolution image obtained by this method alleviates the edge distortion and artifact problems, and has better visual effects.
