Integration of Cloud Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things
Authors: Saadia Drissi
Published: November 2020

Cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and big data are four very different technologies that are already discussed separately. The use of the four technologies is required to be more and more necessary in the present day in order to make them important components in today's world technology. In this paper, the authors center their attention on the integration of cloud, IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence. Several kinds of research papers have surveyed artificial intelligence, cloud, IoT, and big data separately and, more precisely, their main properties, characteristics, underlying technologies, and open issues. However, to the greatest of the authors' knowledge, these works require a detailed analysis of the new paradigm that combines the four technologies, which suggests completely new challenges and research issues. To bridge this gap, this paper presents a survey on the integration of cloud, IoT, artificial intelligence, and big data.
Bionic Footwear Effect to Lower Limb Locomotion in Biomechanical Analysis

Published: November 2020

Many scientific data have proven that regular wearing of high-heeled shoes adversely affects human health. Recent evidence suggested that bionic heels imitated hoofed animals have attracted widespread attention. However, few biomechanical studies have investigated the effects of bionic high-heeled footwear on the lower limbs. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the impact of bionic high-heeled shoes (HHS) on the biomechanical characteristics of lower limbs by comparing kinematics and kinetics of walking in HHS and bionic flat-bottomed shoes (FBS). they find that when the subjects wore HHS, the loading is concentrated in the forefoot region for a much longer time. Couple with HHS lacks the cushioning effect of the complete sole, the sole has to rely only on plantar flexion and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint to cushion the impact force, which will undoubtedly increase the fatigue damage of the ankle joint. The unique split-toe structure balances the loading between the toes could reduce the risk of toes injury during walking. However, there are still risks of injury to the lower limbs of HHS, especially the ankle and knee joints.
Defining Normative Sonographic Measurements of Neonatal Thyroid Volumes
Authors: Noor Noor Aneeza Md , Omar Asmah , Rahman Wan Irnawati Wan Ab , Zainul Ahmad Zalizan
Published: November 2020

Background:

Congenital hypothyroidism is the most common cause of treatable mental impairment and growth retardation in newborns. Early diagnosis requires measurement of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free T4 coupled with an ultrasound of the thyroid gland. However, detailed sonographic evaluation of the thyroid gland requires comparison to the local thyroid normative volumetric values, which is currently lacking.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 10, 2015, to April 18, 2018, recruiting 165 healthy neonates with normal TSH in their 1st week of life, from a single center in Northwest Malaysia. Ultrasound thyroid was done by a single ultrasonographer (κ = 0.86, percent agreement = 92.4), and the thyroid volume (TV) was calculated using the Brunn formula.

Results:

All measurements showed skewed distribution with no significant difference between the right and left lobes. The local normative values for neonatal total TV was 0.61 (interquartile range [IQR] = 0.230) cm3, 0.31 (IQR = 0.150) cm3 for right TV, and 0.28 (IQR = 0.110) cm3 for left TV. There was a strong correlation between the right and left TVs, r = 0.767, P < 0.001. There were also no differences in the total TV across different genders and races.

Conclusion:

The normative values for TV determined in our study may be used accordingly in clinical practice to evaluate thyroid hypoplasia or goiter by other Asian countries due to the similarly shared biodemography.

Čukaru Peki is a recently discovered copper-gold deposit in the Bor metallogenic zone in east Serbia. Three types of mineralization can be distinguished in this ore deposit: porphyry, high-sulphidation, and transitional epithermal type. This research was focused on fluid inclusion analysis of genetically different veins from the porphyry and the transitional zones of Čukaru Peki with an aim of better understanding the fluid evolution and mineralization processes in this system. Seven types of veins were identified in the porphyry zone of Čukaru Peki and four of these veins contained transparent minerals which were suitable for fluid inclusion analysis. Eight types of inclusion assemblages were distinguished in these veins: type 1 – primary inclusions with homogenization temperatures above 550°C and high salinity, type 2a- scattered polyphase inclusions two salt crystals, type 2b-polyphase inclusions with two salt crystals in crystal growth zones, type 3- brine inclusions with one salt crystal in crystal growth zones, type 4- vapour-rich inclusions, type 5- primary inclusions in anhydrite, and types 6 and 7- secondary low-temperature inclusions This research suggests that saline fluids (30-40% wt.% NaCl eq.) were the most important ones for the formation of porphyry-type mineralization and that the mineralization was formed at temperatures between 350 and 450°C and pressures between 100 and 500 bars. The epithermal stage was characterized by cooler low-salinity fluids with temperatures between 150-350°C, and salinity between 0 and 7 wt.% NaCl eq.

Tragedy According to Jacobus Pontanus and the Tradition of Antiquity
Authors: Słomak Iwona
Published: November 2020

The aim of this study is to present the findings of a comparative analysis that covers—on the one hand—the theory of tragedy presented in Poeticarum institutionum libri III by Jakob Pontanus (Spanmuller), the classical and Renaissance poetics and commentaries on which he based his work, as well as the ancient tragedies that belonged to the literary canon in Jesuit colleges, and—on the other hand—Pontanus’s theoretical approach mentioned above and his tragedy Elezarus Machabaeus. The works of Pontanus have previously been discussed by Joseph Bielmann. However, Bielmann did not present them against the background of the Greek and Roman tragedies or the statements of the ancient theorists on drama, the Renaissance theoretical reflection on tragedies, or the playwriting practice resulting from this reflection. Consequently, his characterisation of the Elezarus Machabaeus is untenable, and his comments on Pontanus’s theory of drama need reviewing. Determining whether Pontanus respected the rules of ancient tragedy or whether he openly violated them is important because he was one of the most outstanding Jesuit humanists and a person of authority in his community. If we take into account the fact that Elezarus Machabaeus was the first tragedy printed by the Jesuits, the Poeticarum institutionum libri tres was one of the first printed Jesuit textbooks of this kind, and Pontanus himself was also the author of other books recommended for reading in Jesuit colleges and participated in the work of the committee for the evaluation and approval of the Jesuit school act, his views on the imitation of ancient models should be considered influential at least to a moderate degree and at least in some literary circles of his time. This matter is addressed in the introductory part of this paper. It also contains a short presentation of Pontanus’s textbook against the background of other Jesuit poetics, as well as of his main sources in the field of drama theory. Subsequently, the author presents Pontanus’s concept of drama and then discusses his piece taking into account the context of ancient and contemporary drama theory and practice of writing. In the light of this comparative reading, Eleazarus Machabaeus seems to be generally based on ancient models despite certain peculiarities, such as the composition and absence of choruses, which may be surprising at first. Both Pontanus’s tragedy and his theoretical approach should be regarded as classical in nature.
La montée du sentiment anti-mathématique au début du XIXe siècle
Authors:   Université Jagellonne, Kocik Agnieszka
Published: November 2020

The growth of anti-mathematics sentiment at the beginning of the 19th century At the threshold of the nineteenth century, the collapse of the salons, the new gestalten of education, a new role of literature and the occurrence of the pre-romantic sensibility resulted in a remarkable increase of the yawning gap between the scientific communities and literary men. A prejudice against mathematics gave a new lease of life to the reintroduced belief that pursuing mathematics corrupts hearts and cools human imagination. The aim of the present paper is to restore the epistemic and ideological background that allows one to understand the terms of the debate and to identify opposing ideas. With this end in view, the paper focuses on the cultural and philosophical opinions of François-René de Chateaubriand whose The Genius of Christianity (1802) extremely polarizes the attitudes of supporters and opponents towards mathematical thinking and abilities.
Czerwone buty i „bosość” stóp, czyli „substytut braku” w Janie Tajemniku Bolesława Leśmiana
Authors: Płaza Aneta
Published: November 2020

Red Shoes and “Barefootedness,” i.e. “Substitute for Absence” in Jan Tajemnik [John the Mystery Man] by Bolesław Leśmian The author of the article reflects on the issue of it not being cognitively possible to understand an alienated individual. She presents the character of the fable as an emblem of a suffering, dramatically self-aware being. Revealing the secret results in the stigmatisation of the individual with the tragedy of consciousness and suspends him in the unnamed perceptional interworld. The author analyses the philosophical contexts of the text and characterises Leśmian’s ontology. The themes of fables and Biblical rules become a rich and meaningful background to the reflections provided.

India’s Rise from a Regional to a Global Power
Authors: Baru Sanjaya
Published: November 2020

Most economic forecasts made after the trans-Atlantic fi nancial crisis of 2008 – 2009 have suggested that by 2030 China and India will overtake the United States to become the world’s largest and second-largest economies, respectively. This is why India is viewed as a global power, graduating from its regional role. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing “Cold War” between the United States and China could present new challenges and open up new opportunities for India. While dealing with short-term economic and geopolitical challenges, India will continue to carve out its path in its relations with the world that is defi ned by its civilizational inheritance, its core national interests and its economic performance and capabilities. This article discusses why, given India’s focus on its economic development and growth, the country seeks a regional and global economic and security environment that would be conducive to attaining these objectives. The author suggests fi rst, that as a rising power, India has remained committed to multilateralism in both the economic and security fi elds. It has adhered to the discipline of existing multilateral regimes, including in trade, fi nance and nuclear non-proliferation. India has also actively supported a global solution to the challenge of global warming and climate change. Second, that even as India pursues a policy of multi-alignment in a world marked by a multipolar balance of power, the viability of its policy will hinge upon how China responds to India’s rise and its core national security concerns. Finally, that as Big Power rivalries return and a new Cold War may be in the offi ng, India will have to reassess its options given its developmental aspirations. An assertive China seeking hegemonic dominance in Asia could reduce India’s options and encourage it to build new alliances that are aimed at enhancing national security and ensuring a more balanced distribution of power.

Keesaan Yahweh (TUHAN) Dalam Kitab Kejadian
Authors: Mandagi Lamberty Yahya
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis paper discusses the oneness of Yahweh in the book of Genesis, especially the parts of the book of Genesis which are considered as the work of Yahwist sources. Why conduct a study from parts of the Bible that come from Yahwist sources because this source is considered to be the oldest source in the Bible. The point about the oneness of Yahweh is lifted, because in the book of Genesis, there are certain passages that indicate that Yahweh is not singular but is plural. Therefore, the researcher conducted research related to this subject by doing hermeneutic work, specifically using a critical historical approach. Through literature research on texts related to the subject matter, it can be concluded that in the view of Yahwist sources, the Lord God (Yahweh Elohim) who is worshipped by the Israelites in the Old Testament is one. The one Yahweh is often accompanied by His angels. Thus, the same Lord God who is worshipped by Christians today is one God.Keywords: Yahweh; Oneness; Book of Genesis; Yahwist.AbstrakTulisan ini membahas tentang keesaan Yahweh  dalam kitab Kejadian, secara khusus dari bagian-bagian kitab Kejadian yang dianggap sebagai karya dari sumber Yahwist. Mengapa mengadakan kajian dari bagian-bagian Alkitab yang berasal dari sumber Yahwist karena sumber ini dianggap sebagai sumber yang tertua dalam Alkitab. Pokok tentang keesaan Yahweh diangkat, karena dalam kitab Kejadian, ada bagian-bagian tertentu seperti mengindikasikan bahwa  Yahweh itu tidak esa adanya tetapi bersifat jamak. Karena itu penulis melakukan penelitian berkaitan dengan pokok ini dengan melakuan kerja hermeneutik, secara khusus menggunakan pendekatan historis kritis. Melalui penelitian literatur terhadap teks-teks yang berkaitan dengan pokok pembahasan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam pandangan sumber Yahwist, TUHAN Allah (Yahweh Elohim) yang disembah oleh umat Israel dalam Perjanjian Lama, esa adanya. Yahweh yang esa itu seringkali didampingi oleh malaikat-malaikat-Nya. Dengan demikian, TUHAN Allah yang sama dan yang disembah oleh orang Kristen masa kini adalah Allah yang esa.Kata kunci: Yahweh; Keesaan; Kitab Kejadian; Yahwist.

Una experiencia moral y la interpretación del deber
Authors: Walton Roberto J.
Published: November 2020

El trabajo considera la fundamentación de un deber en relación con una situación moral vivida por Ramón Rodriguez, y destaca la interpretación husserliana de un caso análogo. El análisis presentado en la Segunda Parte de Fenómeno e interpretación sobre el “ser por mor de sí” del Dasein como condición de posibilidad de una personalidad moral tiene el gran mérito de ofrecer una sólida base y una fuerte motivación para esclarecer la relación entre Heidegger y Husserl. Esta posibilidad se presenta en razón de que se ha destacado con mucha claridad la diferencia entre la pregunta por el modo de ser de un ente que es fin por sí mismo y la cuestión del comportamiento moral en que ese modo de ser se manifiesta. La distinción establecida entre los dos problemas ofrece la oportunidad para mostrar una semejanza y una diferencia entre ambos pensadores porque convergen en el primer punto y se separan en el segundo.
THE ROLE OF MOTIVATION IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
Authors:   Univerzitet u Nišu, Filozofski fakultet, Veljković Jasmina
Published: November 2020

In order for a person to motivate others, he must first find an adequate way to motivate himself. If we want to make the work with other people more successful, it is very important to know what motivates people in the environment. Motivation involves the process of initiating and directing human behavior, it is an internal force that drives us to achieve our goals and meet our needs. Greater curiosity and interest contribute to achieving greater success in all fields, and in particular the success of students in school. In contrast, lack of motivation impedes anything to be done in a better way. Poor motivation leads to failure, to the extent that one performs activities without ambition and with great difficulty. Studying the literature aims to determine what role motivation plays in the educational context, which is at the same time the basic goal. It also wants to point out the importance of motivation in teaching. The paper used the historical method as the basic method of historical research and analysis of the contents of pedagogical documentation. One of the basic tasks of teachers is to familiarize students with the nature of motivation and to teach them the procedures that develop motivation for students to learn. This is the key to the success of both the teacher and the students themselves.

The education system in general, as well as the initial education of subject teachers, is undergoing a kind of constant reform. Since the adoption of the Bologna Declaration, especially in the last 10 years, significant systematic efforts have been made to standardize the scope of psychological, pedagogical and methodological courses, including school practice. However, there seems to be a lack of comprehensive analysis of the current situation, as well as of the results of the measures taken, i.e. there is no publicly presented empirical quantitative and/or qualitative data. This paper aims to examine the current situation from the perspective of the subject teachers, who graduated before and after the Bologna reform and who work in primary and secondary schools in Serbia, concerning their psychological, pedagogical and methodological initial education. In this paper, we will present the empirical results collected in the spring of 2017 by a survey of 847 subject teachers of 29 different subjects working in 77 places in Serbia.

Authors:   School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University, Thanh Huong Dang Thi
Published: November 2020

The present study was conducted at the School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University, Vietnam. There were 132 second years students participated in the study. The study employed quantitative research design. The instruments used in the study included the Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (PLSPQ) developed by Reid (1987); the Survey of reading strategies (SORS) which was a 30-item self-assessment instrument developed by Sheorey and Mokhtari (2002), and a simulated IELTS reading test. The findings of the study revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in the uses of reading strategies by different learning styles. The Visual language learners used the most reading strategies (M= 2.92). The Auditory language learners ranked the second (M=2.50). Tactile and Kinesthetic learners used reading strategies at low level (M=2.0). Group language learners used the least reading strategies (M=1.04). In terms of reading achievement among different learning styles, the results of the study showed that there was a statistically difference on the reading achievement by learners of different learning styles. The Visual language learners achieved highest scores (M=5.49). Tactile language learners ranked the second of M=4.5. Auditory and Kinesthetic language learners scored almost similar of M=3.36 and M=3.72 respectively. Group and Individual learners ranked the last of M=2.83 and M=2.77.

Published: November 2020

Objetivo: identificar as características da gravidez e da lactação de mulheres que procuraram um banco de leite humano e as razões que motivaram essas mães a recorrerem ao serviço. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo realizado no Banco de Leite Humano (BLH) da Fundação Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Franca. Foram recrutadas 60 mulheres que responderam a um questionário para a obtenção de informações a respeito da gestação, da amamentação e dos motivos que as levaram ao banco de leite. Resultados: As participantes realizaram o pré-natal em número adequado de consultas e tinham em média 25(6,1) anos. Os sintomas gestacionais mais relatados foram náuseas/vômitos (71,7%) e picamalácia (60%). A maior aversão alimentar referida foi à ingestão de carnes (42,3%). Dentre os fatores que levaram as mulheres a buscarem o BLH, destacaram-se o auxílio para estimular a produção do leite ou para doação do mesmo. 58% das mulheres estavam em aleitamento materno exclusivo e as demais referiram estar aguardando a descida do leite ou estarem distantes dos bebês, que se encontravam no centro de terapia intensiva. Alguns bebês menores de 2 meses receberam água, chás e papas precocemente. Conclusão: As nutrizes recorreram ao BLH por problemas na amamentação, apesar das orientações no pré-natal. Algumas necessitaram de apoio para o estímulo da produção de leite. A importância do BLH vai além de possibilitar o leite às crianças que não puderam ser amamentadas por suas mães, mas também por proporcionar instrução e apoio às lactantes, além do incentivo ao aleitamento materno.

Published: November 2020

Introdução: A constipação é um distúrbio no trato gastrointestinal determinado pela dificuldade e/ou rara eliminação das fezes. Sua etiologia é multifatorial e o hábito alimentar inadequado é fator de risco. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de constipação intestinal e verificar o conhecimento sobre fibras alimentares e os hábitos de vida relacionados em pacientes com constipação e sem constipação segundo o critério Roma III. Metodologia: Estudo transversal e descritivo. Coletaram-se dados socioeconômicos, clínicos e aplicou-se um questionário sobre o consumo alimentar, hábitos de vida e conhecimento sobre prevenção e tratamento da constipação intestinal. A constipação intestinal foi definida de acordo com o consenso de ROMA III. Os resultados foram comparados pelo teste Qui-quadrado, ajustado pela correção de Bonferroni, adotando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de constipação auto-referida foi de 30% e de 33% pelo critério ROMA III. O uso de recursos caseiros para constipação foi mencionado por 55,3% dos constipados e 29,2% dos não constipados. Indivíduos não constipados apresentaram maior conhecimento sobre alimentos fontes de lactobacillus. Sobre o consumo de água, 13,2% dos constipados e 31,8% dos não constipados ingerem mais que oito copos por dia (p=0,02). Quanto aos medicamentos e recursos dietéticos para o auxílio da constipação, os constipados consistem no grupo que mais os consumiu (p<0,05). Conclusão: Foram observadas diferenças entre os hábitos e o conhecimento sobre alimentação entre constipados e não constipados. Avaliar a prevalência de constipação intestinal e fatores associados é fundamental para auxiliar no tratamento e na prevenção da mesma.

Tessituras entre imagem e a imaginação do real
Authors: Grando Angela
Published: November 2020

No âmbito desta comunicação abordamos as relações geradas no jogo de imagens que se estabelecem e dão sentido as obras Je est un autre e Sal sem carne, de Cildo Meireles. E, pela aproximação esclarecedora que aporta a filosofia de Henri Bergson, busca-se discutir como o conceito bergosiano de "imagem" contribui de um modo peculiar à eventual interpretação entre novas situações de consciencialização do espectador e o índice conceitual da obra que atesta e problematiza o discurso social em arte.
Imagens em Processo:
Authors: Salles Cecília Almeida
Published: November 2020

Este texto decorre de um olhar sobre o processo de criação de artistas a partir das reflexões sobre seus documentos processuais analisados no Livro Redes da Criação. Assim, cada imagem e informação são olhadas num conjunto interativo de relações que buscam desvelar nuances do processo criativo e da transformação de uma imagem geradora em obra (ou em um conjunto delas). Neste sentido, tomando algumas imagens de Paul Klee e aprofundando-se em um conjunto de obras de Daniel Senise, busca-se responder a uma pergunta: que esse material oferece de informação sobre o processo de criação? Parte-se da premissa de que desenhos agem como campo de investigação, como registros da experimentação. Teoricamente, hipóteses visuais são levantadas e vão sendo testadas e deixam transparecer a natureza indutiva da criação. Possibilidades de obras são testadas emesboços que são parte de um pensamento visual. Como conclusão, poderia dizer que ao introduzir na crítica de arte a noção do tempo da criação, os pesquisadores passam a lidar com a continuidade, que nos leva à estética do inacabado.

In this paper we will consider the numerical implementation of the 2d wave equation which is a fundamental equation in many engineering problems. An approximate solution of a function is calculated from discrete points in spatial grid based on discrete time steps. The initial values are given by the initial value condition. First we will interpret how to transform a differential equation into an implicit finitedifference equation, respectively, a set of finite-difference equations that can be used to calculate an approximate solution. Then we will change this algorithm to parallelize this task on GPU. Special focus is on improving the performance of the parallel algorithm. In addition, we will run the implemented parallel code on the GPU and serial code the central processor, calculate the acceleration based on the execution time. We present that the parallel code that runs on a GPU gives the expected results by comparing our results to those obtained by running serial code of the same simulation on the CPU. In fact, in some cases, simulations on the GPU are found to run 22 times faster than on a CPU
KAHN-HILLIARD MODEL FOR MIXTURES OF BINARY LIQUIDS

Published: November 2020

This article presents a model that is suitable for modeling changes in the chemical potential and the rate of attraction of phases, taking into account thermal effects, by solving the Kahn-Hilliard equation under various initial conditions. Thermal radiation is solved in the framework of the Kahn-Hilliard equation, which has been applied to many physical applications, such as two - and three-phase fluid flow, phase separation, flow visualization, and quantum dot formation. In this article, the numerical solution of the Kahn-Hilliard equation is made on a spaced grid, where the scalar values (pressure, phase function, density, viscosity) are determined in the center of the cell, and the velocity components are at a distance of half a step. Numerical research has shown that the use of a spaced grid avoids the appearance of a so-called staggered oscillating pattern for pressure. An additional advantage of using a spaced grid is that the discrete pressure field automatically satisfies the discrete representation of the integral boundary condition.

Measuring Co-Movements and Linkages between Nigeria and the UAE Stock Exchanges: Is there Opportunity for Portfolio Building?
Authors: Abdullahi Shafiu
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between Nigerian Stock Exchange and Dubai stock exchange with the aim of finding out the direction of movements between their respective indices.
Approach/Methodology/Design: The methodology adopted for the analysis is ARDL cointegration model and the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM). This is because of their known efficiency in detecting patterns between variables.
Findings: The result of the short-run analysis using GMM shows that there is existence of short-run causality between the Dubai financial market (DFM) and the Nigerian stock exchange (NSE). Thus, for investors looking for short- run arbitrage opportunity between the markets, they shall look elsewhere. But, the result of bound testing has shown lack of cointegration between the two markets. This is a sign of existence of opportunities for portfolio diversification between Nigeria stock exchange and Dubai financial market, since the two markets are not cointegrated in the long-run.
Practical Implications: The study helps bridge the empirical literature gap in stock market integration and portfolio diversification with reference to the Nigeria and UAE. It will, therefore, guide local and foreign investors with interest in Nigeria and UAE Stock Exchanges. It will also guide Nigerian and UAE policy makers to understand the market better, especially as it concerns financial contagion.
Originality/value: This study provides further evidence on stock market integration in emerging markets. New researches shall adopt different methodology such as use of volatility tracking models to measure volatility linkage between the markets.

As a center for learning and information services, STMIK Amikom Purwokerto Library is a source of learning and a source of intellectual activity that is very important for the entire academic community in supporting the achievement of the college Tridharma program. Book lending transaction data, can produce information that is important as supporting decision making when further analyzed. One useful information is that it can provide information in the form of user behavior patterns in borrowing books that are used to maintain the availability of related book stocks to be balanced. This study uses the Generalized Sequential Pattern (GSP) algorithm, which can be used to determine the behavior patterns of users in each transaction and can show relationships or associations between books, both requested simultaneously and sequentially. From the calculations that have been done, 295 frequent sequences are consisting of 3 sequence patterns that are formed from the minimum support of 0.53% or the minimum number of books borrowed, namely 2 books. Three book items have very strong linkages in book lending transactions, namely book code 6690, 2026, and 8131.

Efficient Multi Dimensional Nodal Fuzzy Search for Information Management System
Authors: Narayana M Raja , Sasikala B , Balakrishna N
Published: November 2020

We propose a novel multi-dimensional search approach that allows users to perform fuzzy searches for structure and metadata conditions in addition to keyword conditions. Our techniques individually score each dimension and integrate the three dimension scores into a meaningful unified score. We also design indexes and algorithms to efficiently identify the most relevant files that match multi-dimensional queries. We perform a thorough experimental evaluation of our approach and show that our relaxation and scoring framework for fuzzy query conditions in non content dimensions can significantly improve ranking accuracy. We also show that our query processing strategies perform and scale well, making our fuzzy search approach practical for every day usage.
