Published: May 2022

The main problem for students who want to apply to abroad universities for further studies is that they do not know which university suits their profile and which university they should target. More than 750,000 Indian students were reported to be studying in foreign schools in 2018, according to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. There is a need for a discussion on this topic, between applicants and the universities to help them accordingly and to clarify the doubts which are arising in their minds reaching them with maximum help for their admits. Also, there are multiple factors that affect the individual's thinking for the same. This paper is based on the research work done to enlist the problems faced by students while applying for further studies abroad at universities.

Published: May 2022

Air pollution is one of the world's most dangerous issues, as it has negative consequences for human health, animal health, and the environment system. In today's India, air pollution is one of the most serious environmental health threats. The most important factor that directly increases the occurrence of diseases and lowers the quality of life is the air quality in all places. The ability to make suitable judgments in a timely manner is dependent on the monitoring and analysis of air quality factors, necessitating the development of real-time air quality detection. It is possible to do a detailed level analysis of key pollutants and their sources using colour images of the earth's surface. These detection devices are critical components in a variety of specialised area projects for sensing air quality and managing pollutant concentrations in specific locations. Based on a Land coverage analysis, we provide a method for cost-effective assessment of essential environmental parameters in this project. These applications are used to assess the quality of local air.

Road signs are important to ensure smooth traffic flow without bottlenecks or mishaps. Road symbols are the pictorial representations having different necessary information required to be understood by driver. Road signs in front of the vehicle are ignored by the drivers and this can lead to catastrophic accidents. This paper presents an overview of the traffic sign board detection and recognition and implements a procedure to extract the road sign from a natural complex image, processes it and alerts the driver using voice command It is implemented in such a way that it acts as a boon to drivers to make easy decisions. There are several major challenges that affects the detection and recognition process of traffic signs and makes it difficult for the driver to identify the signs in adverse weather conditions and darkness, these challenges and problems are highlighted in this study. Traffic signs are detected based on various features such as color, shape, and texture etc. Based on these features numerous methods exists for detection of traffic signs. We have describe a new, real-time traffic sign detection. This challenge get more difficult to meet in a city like environment where multiple traffic signs, ads, parking vehicles, pedestrians, and other moving or background objects make the recognition much more difficult.

Today online learning platforms are contributing a lot to the learning management systems which helps to empower teachers to bring coding into their classrooms. Even though we have a lot of platforms to work on and learn from, we are not properly trained in this domain. This has increased the need for a platform that is targeted only at college students to develop a coding culture among them, right from the start. The project that we aim to develop solves this particular issue and will also enhance the skills of the students through continuous feedback learning. The end product will be a website that the teachers can use to set the problems and give assignments while the students will use the application to solve the assignments. The website is being developed using: HTML, and CSS on the front end, and the database will be PHP. The platform will be composed in such a way endpoints for performing various operations. The website will be built to support modularity, scalability, and ease of use. Some of the features provided by the website are sharing of learning materials, students can practice coding and execution of the code, and support for many programming languages.

Published: May 2022

Flood is a naturally occurring phenomenon that has gained international attention due to its destructive influence on civilization. Flooding episodes are not going to change, but their impact on mankind can be significantly minimized. The goal of this project is to provide warnings to flood-prone communities. Our project comprises of a water monitoring system that serves as a prototype for flood detection. Flood warnings are used to identify and anticipate potentially dangerous flood occurrences so that the nearby areas can be warned ahead of time. Sensors, GSM, and Wi-Fi modules will be useful in providing flood information. The warning system in this suggested design would use sensors to monitor dams for flood status, and the information will be delivered via the Wi-Fi module. Flood occurrences are effectively observed in real time, giving people plenty of time to prepare for floods that are expected. This approach may be used to drastically minimize the number of people killed or injured in the case of catastrophic flood.

An Intelligent Mobile Application to Automate the Conversation of Emails to Task Management using AI and Machine Learning
Authors: Li Yi , Sun Yu
Published: May 2022

It is no secret that a large portion of our population struggle with task management [1]. According to a 2021 research, twenty five percent of people do not employ a task management system and simply work on “whatever seems the most important at the moment”. Among the population that do use some sort of task management, the most popular form of managing personal tasks is through to do lists (33%) followed by using their email inbox (24%). Thus, I thought to combine these two most common methods by creating a to do list automatically generated from the email. We used the open sourced software natural language processing (NLP) to pick out the important sentences in the text and convert them into tasks for the to-do list. We used keywords such as “tomorrow”, “next”, “month”, etc combined with the date the email was sent to determine the “due date” of the to do list. Because the to-do list extracts information directly from the inbox without any participation from a human, unlike many other apps, this could be effectively used by those that do not check their email.
Prominent Discord Discovery with Matrix Profile : Application to Climate Data Insights
Authors: El Khansa Hussein , Gervet Carmen , Brouillet Audrey
Published: May 2022

The definition and extraction of actionable anomalous discords, i.e. pattern outliers, is a challenging problem in data analysis. It raises the crucial issue of identifying criteria that would render a discord more insightful than another one. In this paper, we propose an approach to address this by introducing the concept of prominent discord. The core idea behind this new concept is to identify dependencies among discords of varying lengths. How can we identify a discord that would be prominent? We propose an ordering relation, that ranks discords and we seek a set of prominent discords with respect to this ordering. Our contributions are 1) a formal definition, ordering relation and methods to derive prominent discords based on Matrix Profile techniques, and 2) their evaluation over large contextual climate data, covering 110 years of monthly data. The approach is generic and its pertinence shown over historical climate data.

Motivations to enter the Police Profession in the Caribbean: Evidence from a Cohort of Jamaican Police Recruits
Authors: Wallace Wendell Codrington , Neptune-Figaro Malisa
Published: May 2022

While the topic of motivation to enter policing has proliferated in the Global North, there are limited studies examining recruit’s motivations to enter policing in the Caribbean. As a result, the current effort was designed to analyze the motivations for entering the police profession by gathering data from police recruits in training at the National Police College in Jamaica via standardized, self-administered questionnaires. Data were gathered from one hundred and sixty-one (n=161) police recruits and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The analyses were based on gender, age, marital status and educational level and sought to determine the motivations of police recruits who entered the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). The findings indicated that the major motivations for entry into policing in Jamaica were: (1) the desire to assist others, (2) the opportunity to further education, and (3) the opportunity to enforce laws. This study provides insights into the motivations behind motivations for entry into policing in Jamaica and is a starting point for future research on motivations to enter the police profession in the Caribbean.

Published: May 2022

CIRDIS is an Italian Interuniversity Research Centre for Statistical Education located at the Universities of Padova, Palermo, Perugia and “Roma la Sapienza”. The Centre, constituted on 1991, has the general objective of promoting the development of research on statistical education in Italy, especially at the undergraduate level. For this purpose the Centre: carries out research on statistical education; develops teaching materials; carries out statistical training courses for school teachers. The Centre has recently renewed its internet site (http://cirdis.stat.unipg.it) to meet teachers’ increasing demand for an effective teaching of statistics in Italian schools. The site, which has been visited since April 2003 about 8.000 times, is an environment from which teachers and students can find information on Centre’s activities and can get a valuable support to motivate and improve the learning of statistics, by accessing to a wide variety of resources and links. The site contains materials to help teaching statistics in an active way, with a multidisciplinary approach, so showing the importance for every citizen of being statistically literate. The section “Teaching/learning resources” aims at providing real datasets and teaching materials from a variety of subjects, in order to give teachers interesting examples for their statistics course. Many of the teaching resources available on the site have been developed by CIRDIS researchers.
Multimedia tools for the teaching of probability and statistics
Authors:   Facultad de Ciencias, Sanjuan E , Parra M ,   Universidad de Extremadura, Castro I ,   Universidad de Extremadura
Published: May 2022

As it is well known, understanding some concepts is not a trivial task for a beginner in the field of the Probability and Statistics. With many students, they are initially greeted with mixed feelings of fear and anger. These feelings inhibit the learning of the probability and statistics. Emphasis has been placed in different directions with respect to the teaching of probability and statistics. Firstly, it focused on reducing the effort needed to perform statistical computations, but gave little insight into the meaning of concepts. Secondly, the emphasis was on meaning, but many of the students in the applied sciences were unprepared for such an approach and ended up knowing neither the theory nor the computational procedures. Our aim is to attempt to make probability and statistics as simple as possible for the student. In this work, we present multimedia tools in order to teach many probability concepts and simulating random experiments. The considered concepts are descriptive statistics, random experiments, sets and events, combinatorics, conditional probability, discrete random variables, continuous random variables, and central limit theorem. The computer is the principal instrument in the realization of these simulations. However, in some cases, the student does not know necessary programming concepts to design the experiments. For this reason, it is very important to supply an appropriate environment to the student for the realization of these experiments. These multimedia tools have been carried out in MATLAB using GUIDE (Graphical User Interface Development). The GUI Design Enviroment tools allow Handle Graphics objects to be manipulated interactively. These GUI's allow creating a teaching interactive environment. The student can select different values of the parameters in an easy way using command buttons, scroll bars and list and edit boxes without programming. The results are displayed using graphics, animations and related numerical values. The GUI's are completed with text. This text is a summary of the underlying mathematical theory related to the GUI'S. Matlab Web Server will provide an access via web to these tools. It implies an easy export of this tool to different operating systems and the virtual teaching. This tool is expected to be applied in the next academic course in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Extremadura (Spain).
St@tNet: an assessment and new developments

Published: May 2022

St@tNet, the French interactive internet course on introductory statistics (http://www.agro- montpellier.fr/cnam-lr/statnet/) is a complete, interactive, web-based, course on introductory statistics with six modules: data description, probability, random variables, sampling and estimation, tests, and elements of linear regression. St@tNet has been realised by a consortium of several French-speaking universities, with the support of the French Ministry of Education and of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie[SEPARATOR] its content is freely accessible. The course corresponds to a classical credit of 50 hours of teaching. St@tNet is composed of three main parts: · A course where each chapter is itself divided into four parts a presentation, a development, a summary, interactive exercises, a glossary, ... · Downloadable files : course notes, exercises, datasets · A set of tools including links, statistical tables, a glossary. Each chapter is accompanied by a short video introduction (about 2 minutes) presented by the teacher who was in charge of this part. At the CNAM, the course is offered since 1999 as an on-line distance teaching for continuous education. Registered students receive a CD (to avoid permanent Internet connection) with the full contents and an Internet password to have access to specific services : tutorship with a discussion forum in a virtual class-room, e-mail with a teacher for 25 students, access to previous exams subjects, etc. St@tNet is an independent platform and may be integrated in any learning system. Any French speaking university could thus include St@tNet as a distance teaching offer. In this communication, we will present the results of our experience in using St@tNet for distance teaching and self-learning. They have induced deep modifications in the production of new material for the course. Thanks to a joint cooperation with the first author, we are enlarging the scope of St@tNet with new chapters devoted to statistical modelling, including a complete course on multivariate linear regression theory, and also some chapters related to generalized modelling. Since these new chapters are intended for more mature students, already familiar with elementary probability and statistics, the need for a somewhat entertaining and amusing HTML interface is vanishing, and the new course documents will be produced in the Latex-PDF environment that provides all the necessary internal and hyperlink possibilities. And the pedagogy is even more active, and very much project oriented. Animations, (some will be shown in the presentation) now produced with Flash-MX, will enhance much of the teaching material.
Replacing the Statistics Text with Reader Excerpts and Timely Internet Notes
Authors:   Simon Fraser University, Weldon K
Published: May 2022

A new lecture course was recently presented based mainly on the reader “Statistics: A Guide to the Unknown”, a collection of short articles by well-known statistical educators on interesting applications of statistics (Tanur, 1989). The succession of topics was application-based rather than the more common logical sequence of topics used in statistics textbooks. Nevertheless, the student feedback, and the final exam, indicated that all the important basics were covered. Moreover, students expressed interest in the particular applications that were discussed in the lectures. Student feedback became an integral part of the course. The ability to provide timely notes via the internet that reflected the evolution of the lectures was a key to the success of the course. The fact that the notes could contain precision graphics and colors was also helpful for motivation of students. The notes for the course can be found at http://www.stat.sfu.ca/~weldon/stat100-02-3.html.
Teaching statistics by using simulations on the Internet
Authors:   National Institute of Biology, Vecna pot 111, Blejec Andrej
Published: May 2022

Simple probabilistic simulations, such as flipping a coin or rolling a dice, are used for illustration of statistical concepts and stochastic properties of modeled processes. With availability of personal computers in past decade, computer supported statistical simulations were introduced to statistics teaching. Such simulations - usually combined with graphic presentation of results and simulation itself - can be used for more obvious demonstration of statistical phenomena. With the advent of the Internet, new dimensions were introduced to teaching. The simulation software is easily available for those that are connected to the Internet, regardless of physical distance. Internet also brought cross-platform compatibility of teaching material, which was sometimes limited to one or another type of operating system. But there are some cultural and language barriers, usually combined with low availability of computers and Internet in some countries.
The Best of Both Worlds: Successfully Combining TAFE and Higher Education Writing Programs
Authors: Warfe Irene
Published: May 2022

In 1996, collaboration between staff of the University of Ballarat and the (then) School of Mines and Industries, Ballarat, successfully established a combined writing program from the TAFE and higher education sectors - the Bachelor of Arts/Diploma of Arts (Professional Writing & Editing).

This paper explores the design of the program and its development till now. The growth in interest and reputation of the program is reflected in yearly increases in the number of students from Year 12 and elsewhere who seek a place. It also looks at comparisons with other, more traditional, models of cross crediting in writing programs between TAFE institutes and universities. A survey of students also shows clear support and enthusiasm for the combined program.

The aim of this paper is not to assert the superiority or otherwise of either system in the delivery of writing programs but to explore the differing roles of TAFE and higher education together in producing the desired outcome: highly skilled and well-regarded graduates in the writing field.
A Short Person’s Guide to Thesis Writing
Authors: Ledgar Jenny
Published: May 2022

It’s twelve months since I began my PhD project. I’m still just finding my way; I’m not really in any position to be acting as guide for anyone. This paper is more a reflection on a year’s worth of rambling and exploring. Other newcomers might recognise some of the crossroads and roundabouts I have found myself anxiously negotiating on the journey so far.

My mother always said ‘good things come in small packages’. She said this to me when I complained about being short. I was a short child and I am a short adult. I knit beanies not jumpers. I make scones, not cakes. I write short stories. All this went unchallenged until I embarked on the greater voyage of the doctoral thesis.

Published: May 2022

The paper intends to examine the socio-political implications of Arundhati Roy’s discourse in her novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. It aims to analyze the linguistic significance of the selected text and its role in countering the established social discourses. Further, it will be seen how the author’s use of particular words challenges and undermines the existing dominant social structures. Roy uses persuasive language to make the downtrodden sections i.e. trans-genders, Dalits, and Kashmiris in Indian society reject marginalization. It is qualitative research that employs Norman Fair clough’s Three-Dimensional Model along with the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis. Persuasive Linguistic Devices are identified and used as tools to analyze the linguistic significance of the selected excerpts from the text. The analysis of the text reveals that Roy’s unapologetic and powerful language allowed her characters to realize their potential and consider themselves a valuable part of Indian society.

Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi khắc phục nhược điểm này bằng cách chuyển đổi AA thành trạng thái muối với natri, để tan trong nước và tồn tại ở dạng anion rồi cho phối hợp với chiết xuất ethanol vỏ chanh tạo công thức mới (MCA) nhằm đánh giá hoạt động diệt trứng và xua muỗi Aedes khỏi nơi đẻ trứng. Kết quả chỉ ra rằng từ dạng lỏng của AA sau khi tách chiết tạo nên dạng muối AA đạt hiệu suất 86%, khi phối trộn với cao vỏ chanh cùng phụ gia với tỉ lệ 2:1:7 tạo viên MCA đã ức chế được sự nở của trứng đối với Ae. aegypti (82,9%) và Ae.albopictus (90,6%) ở liều 10 ppm, so với chứng âm có P<0,05 và so với chứng dương (Azadirachtin) với P>0,05. Tương tự, khi ở cùng nồng độ, MCA đã thể hiện hoạt tính xua Ae. albopictus và Ae. aegypti khỏi nơi đẻ trứng lần lượt là 68.5% và 78.1% đều có ý nghĩa thống kê (P<0.05) so với chứng âm. Kết quả trên đã thể hiện, công thức MCA hứa hẹn là một chế phẩm thân thiện với môi trường, có tiềm năng kiểm soát muỗi truyền bệnh.

Exploring the Dynamics of Investors’ Decision Making in Pakistan Stock Market: A Study of Herding Behavior
Authors: Hussain Mumtaz , Sadiq Salma , Rasheed Muhammad Haroon , Amin Khurram
Published: May 2022

Stock markets are often considered as a yardstick for economic growth and development. Therefore, understanding investment behavior in stock markets is pivotal for better regulation and promoting growth and stability. Hence current study is aimed at understanding the influence of one of the most significant factors, i.e. herding behavior on the Pakistan stock market. Besides, it also investigates the impact of demographical differences among investors. The herd behavior or tendency to follow peers is a counterintuitive behavior to the traditional paradigm of rationality and efficiency. This can influence the whole decision-making process by making it irrational. Data from (n=210) investors trading at Lahore and Islamabad are gathered to test this proposed linkage. Structural equation modeling is used for establishing these associations. The results revealed that herding significantly influences the rational decision-making process of investors. For a better and contextualized understanding of these results, demographical characteristics are considered, which indicate that a non-business related occupation, higher income and lower age are associated with a higher tendency towards herding, and conclusively demography plays a significant role. These findings can be extremely useful for investors, policymakers, and investment professionals and can be utilized to make the decision-making process optimal. Investors need to account for the influence of their inclination to follow peers and their occupation, income, and age before making any decision. Theoretically, these findings are the pioneer in providing a comprehensive linkage of the behavioral aspect of the stock market functioning and to explore the whole decision making process instead of focusing on a dimension.
Determinants of Cross-Border Inbound and Outbound Mergers and Acquisitions
Authors: Dhingra Kanika , Kapil Sheeba
Published: May 2022

Mergers and Acquisitions being an inorganic activity is foremost choice of growth and expansion by the Corporates irrespective of a sector or country it belongs to. It is specifically interesting but at the same time involves lot of due diligence procedures by the firms for undergoing the mergers and acquisitions. Firms now-a-days are involved in Domestic, Inbound and Outbound (Cross-Border) M & A due to various reasons which can be categorised into various determinants of Mergers and Acquisitions. Past Literature has described the determinants of M & A but the research is inadequate particularly for Inbound and Outbound Mergers and Acquisitions. The research has reserved Scopus as database for extracting the research papers on determinants of mergers and acquisitions for the years 1996 to 2021. The methodology includes certain tools which are used for searching the determinants of M & A comprising of Keyword Analysis, Citation Analysis, Network Analysis, Bibliometric Analysis and explaining the determinants exclusively by historical analysis. The study is discussing the emergent literature on determinants of Cross-Border Inbound and Outbound Mergers and Acquisitions. The key implications of the study precise that the determinants of inbound and outbound mergers and acquisitions are different for various sectors, country specific and also firm specific. The sector to which a firm belongs together with macro economic and firm specific determinants shape the decision of entering into mergers and acquisitions by a firm. Also, all the determinants are not postively impacting the decision of mergers and acquisitions.
Recherches psychologiques sur la notion de salaires : facteur d’organisation et de motivation
Authors: TARHI Mohammed Amine , LAAJAMI MERIEM
Published: May 2022

Les détails concernant les systèmes de traitements et salaires, c'est-à-dire les décisions concernant le niveau des rémunérations, exigent d'autres hypothèses concernant la manière dont l'individu considère sa paie et la structure de celle-ci. Les éléments qui suivent font, à une exception près, partie d'une série d'études conçues pour explorer ce domaine par le Institute of Industrial Relations.

L'étude ne suggère pas que le sursalaire constitue un moyen pratique d'accroître la productivité, mais cette enquête est exceptionnellement intéressante parce qu'elle met en lumière la psychodynamique du salaire et sa signification pour l'individu concerné.

Dans un certain sens, la politique de salaire négocié devient une mesure indirecte du moral des employés. Si l'entreprise veut maximiser le rapport de chaque dirham dépensé en salaire et avantages, les données recueillies semblent prouver que le système actuel est trop rigide, et donc peu rentable pour la firme. L'étude des réactions d'un individu qui s'estime surpayé est intéressante du point de vue de l'étude du salaire.

La plupart de ces enquêtes s'intègrent dans un domaine de recherches continues et plus globales, qui est centré sur l'étude de mobiles fournis par les salaires, sur la perception psychologique des sujets relatifs à leurs gains personnels, et sur les divers groupes sociaux de comparaison sociale, dans lesquels un individu évalue sa position de salaire vis-à-vis des autres.
