Abstract: This article focuses on the aspects of agenda formation in Russian-language Telegram messenger channels. Within the framework of the classical model of M. McCombs and D. Shaw, the main principles of agenda setting by traditional media are analyzed. Building upon the findings of more recent research in the field of agenda setting in the digital space, the authors highlight the advantages of social media as communication platforms and potential reasons for their increasing popularity among both individuals and political actors. Furthermore, the relevant features of the Telegram messenger in the context of political communication are systematically described, such as the lack of strict content moderation, emphasis on the speed of information exchange, user privacy, and the need for an individualized approach to shaping the information field for each user. Based on the platform’s characteristics, a model for agenda formation is proposed, which involves categorizing channels into two levels: content information producers and news aggregators/interpreters. The hypothesis is also put forward that channels that aggregate and interpret information through an extensive network of links have the greatest potential for setting the agenda for their audience. To test the model, a pilot study was conducted using the Tgstat service, where the top 10 most cited channels from the “Media and News” and “Politics” categories for October 2023 were selected. Subsequently, no more than 50 channels were included in the analysis, those which were most frequently mentioned by the popular authors. The researchers conclude that multiple agendas can coexist within the messenger within various thematic blocks. These thematic blocks are formed through the network of links to channels that the most popular platforms on the messenger feature in their news feeds.

Abstract: The need for professional development for digital, subject-specific competencies is increasing among educators in higher education. With online teacher professional development (oTPD), this demand can be accommodated flexibly. The article presents a systematic review of the literature and evidence on oTPD for digital competencies in higher education. The purpose of the review is to identify factors that influence the effect of an oTPD programme. A total of 661 peer-reviewed articles that included empirical studies and literature reviews related to oTPD from 2010 and onwards were identified using the EBSCO and ERIC databases and screened. 57 of these were coded and included in the analysis, and 604 articles were excluded due to wrong focus, educational level, publication type, or year. The analysis identifies sixteen underlying factors that influence the effect of oTPD related to either the institutional aspect, the design of the programme, and/or the delivery of the programme. Furthermore, the review identifies political implications for research on oTPD—the institutional context including technical solutions, the general pedagogical approach, and educator support—and methodological limitations related to the ambiguity of the oTPD concepts and the transferability of case studies, which call for more research.

Abstract: In order for autonomous driving to be effective, sufficient prior information and stability about the area of use must be guaranteed. To do this, it is necessary to ensure stability by avoiding obstacles that were not initially identified and regenerating the path. In this study, we design a DEVS-based moving path movement plan and conduct simulations in a digital twin environment. It also implements communication of moving objects to transmit and receive information about unidentified obstacles that are not within the detection range of moving objects. As a result, if an unidentified obstacle appeared, an avoidance path could be created and driven to the destination. Through the above experiment, we expect that the results of route movement in the digital twin environment will be pre-tested and used in reality.

Abstract: When exporting or importing global content, it is essential to identify fonts with similar shapes, in addition to translating text. In our previous research, we developed a font-matching algorithm using deep learning that works across multiple languages. In this paper, we present the process of creating a pivot font mapping table, which serves as an example of matching actual Hangul and Thai fonts for similar font matching. We conducted a survey among experts to establish the pivot font mapping and confirmed its significance by analyzing typography. Using the mapping table generated through this process, we successfully matched similar fonts between Hangul and Thai, as well as Thai and Hangul. Our results demonstrate that our font matching system effectively identifies similar-looking fonts in each language.

Abstract: Climate change, which causes increased temperatures, prolonged droughts, and dry conditions, heightens the risk of land fires. A similar scenario unfolded in Aunupe Village, where several fires occurred on agricultural land over the past three years, resulting in crop failure and degraded soil quality, leading to financial losses for land-owning farmers. To mitigate the risk of land fire disasters, an agricultural land fire disaster risk management information system is necessary in Aunupe Village, South Konawe Regency. The objective of this community-based empowerment program is to mitigate the risk of land fire disasters. To achieve the desired outcomes, initial coordination with farmer group partners is conducted, followed by the design and installation of fire sensor equipment sets in collaboration with farmer groups. Furthermore, focus group discussions (FGD) are conducted with farmer group partners to ensure their understanding and cooperation. The activities result in the development of an agricultural land fire risk management information system, facilitating the prompt detection, monitoring, and response to fire incidents in the agricultural land of the Lembah Harapan Farmers Group. Additionally, farmer group partners acquire knowledge regarding the utilization of fire mitigation systems.

raw_author_name: Abderrahim Sekkaki

Abstract: Recognizing the fundamental role of learners' emotions in the educational process, this study aims to enhance educational experiences by incorporating emotional intelligence (EI) into teacher robots through artificial intelligence and image processing technologies. The primary hurdle addressed is the inadequacy of conventional methods, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with pooling layers, in imbuing robots with emotional intelligence. To surmount this challenge, the research proposes an innovative solution—introducing a novel learning focal point (LFP) layer to replace pooling layers, resulting in significant enhancements in accuracy and other vital parameters. The distinctive contribution of this research lies in the creation and application of the LFP algorithm, providing a novel approach to emotion classification for teacher robots. The results showcase the LFP algorithm's superior performance compared to traditional CNN approaches. In conclusion, the study highlights the transformative impact of the LFP algorithm on the accuracy of classification models and, consequently, on emotionally intelligent teacher robots. This research contributes valuable insights to the convergence of artificial intelligence and education, with implications for future advancements in the field.
Efficient Path Planning Algorithm for Mobile Robots Performing Floor Cleaning Like Operations

Authors:
raw_author_name: Vishnu G Nair

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce an efficient path planning algorithm designed for floor cleaning applications, utilizing the concept of Spanning Tree Coverage (STC). We operate under the assumption that the environment, i.e., the floor, is initially unknown to the robot, which also lacks knowledge regarding obstacle positions, except for the workspace boundaries. The robot executes alternating phases of exploration and coverage, leveraging the local map generated during exploration to construct a STC tree, which then guides the subsequent coverage (cleaning) phase. The extent of exploration is determined by the range of the robot's sensors. The path generation algorithms for cleaning fall within the broader category of coverage path planning (CPP) algorithms. A key advantage of this algorithm is that the robot returns to its initial position upon completing the operation, minimizing battery usage since sensors are only active during the exploration phase. We classify the proposed algorithm as an offline-online scheme. To validate the effectiveness and non-repetitive nature of the algorithm, we conducted simulations using VRep/MATLAB environments and implemented real-time experiments using Turtlebot in the ROS-Gazebo environment. The results substantiate the completeness of coverage and underscore the algorithm's significance in applications akin to floor cleaning.

Abstract: To continuously and effectively control the potential risk factors of digital libraries, further improve the quality of digital library usage, ensure the smooth operation and information security of digital libraries, a security and risk factor control model for digital libraries based on the Plan-Do-Check-Action is constructed. A digital library security and risk identification model based on improved support vector machines is constructed. Based on the obtained risk identification results, a Plan-Do-Check-Action management model is implemented for information security in digital libraries. The R2L dataset in the network attack dataset is used for training and testing model performance. Then the proposed method is applied to two different digital libraries. The average accuracy of the risk identification model proposed in the research is 96.46%. The risk error of each level is maintained within 0.4%, which is within an acceptable range. The proposed method has a high recognition effect. It can be used to identify common security and risk issues encountered in digital libraries, and improve the information security performance.
