Supporting Developers in Creating Web Apps for Education via an App Development Framework
Authors: Farah Juan Carlos , Ingram Sandy , Gillet Denis
Published: June 2022

As more educational activities are conducted online, the need for interactive applications (apps) that can effectively support educators in their practice is increasing. These apps are often created by web developers or by researchers, educators, and even students with programming experience. While a large body of work has focused on incorporating these apps into educational contexts, fewer studies have focused on their development. In this paper, we first present the design and implementation of an app development framework aimed at supporting developers in creating apps for education. We then report the results of a study comprising interviews with 12 developers who used the framework. Our findings highlight that while the creation of web apps for education can be facilitated by a purely software-based app development framework, effectively exploiting such a framework requires domain knowledge that could be acquired through in-depth documentation, tutorials, and collaboration between developers and educators.
Geopolitics and business: the implications for management education
Authors: Sweeney Simon , Mollan Simon
Published: June 2022

In this paper we identify the need for management education to incorporate a greater consideration of geopolitics. We do this by first of all noting some recent events that indicate the fundamental complex inter-connectedness of the geopolitical and the economic. We discuss some trends which underpin this (notably changes to the patterns of economic globalization and global governance, and the increased importance of the nation state), before going on to expore the prospects for continuing on-going uncertainty and volatility in the global economy. We identify areas that should be discussed with reference to the role that business plays in geopolitics, and the geopolitical plays for business. We call for an emphasis on interdisciplinarity to assist the integration of geopolitics into management education.

Authors: Behrendt Tanja , Ripken Malena , Klenke Thomas
Published: June 2022

Environment and sustainability issues are becoming increasingly important world-wide. They also determine future career options of students. This change demands a modified portfolio of competences students should develop during their higher eduction studies. Within a multidimensional field between interdisciplinarity, internationalisation and interactivity various pathways can be taken to realise according adjustment of higher education settings. In this paper, we will present an example for successful innovation and adaptation to emerging needs. We refer to the case of an interdisciplinary module tailored to a international student group by creating interactivity in an online learning environment. The module has its topical drivers in Marine Spatial Planning and Integrated Coastal Zone Management. Both societal challenges provide multiple options to connect  plus innovate existing (disciplinary) study programmes in an institutional framework.
Design-Based Learning and Student Entrepreneurship: How Learning Design Supports Non-Design Students’ Aspirations
Authors: Shuman Layal
Published: June 2022

How does learning design support non-design students' career aspirations? The paper presents a qualitative interview study with undergraduate students from different disciplines in Canada, who shared their design-based learning (DBL) experiences. DBL is students across programs learning design for various educational goals and not to become professional designers. The paper describes a study that shows how learning design benefits students across programs to obtain, pursue and imagine desirable career paths. The paper also discusses how DBL supports students who aspire for technology-related jobs, students who want careers centered around creativity, and students who value work that has a social impact.
Developing a Game Production Pipeline for University Educators
Authors: Grufstedt Ylva , Kauppinen Tomi , Kultima Annakaisa
Published: June 2022

In this paper, we describe the initial process of developing what we call the Game Production Pipeline (GPP), an effort to assist and guide educators in making educational games within higher education. Noting the need to push the boundaries of engaging virtual learning principles in the wake of the pandemic, the GPP seeks to address the epistemic gap between game design, virtual education, and game production. We set out to investigate educator wants, needs, and challenges in this area. We also created a probing survey to collect juxtaposing feedback on the GPP from commercial game developers. We found that educators were more concerned with implementation than design, and that developers had notes on time and production management, and epistemic clashes in making educational games.
Teaching practices in architectural technology courses. An experiment and future perspectives in the Italian context.
Authors: Giofrè Francesca , El Edeisy Mohamed
Published: June 2022

Architectural technology is a subject in constant evolution due to the specificity of territorial production, which is increasingly becoming more global. The constant change in the way of doing architecture requires the transmission of knowledge and skills that see an ever-greater weight in the acquisition of soft skills rather than hard skills, especially in terms of development of critical thinking by students, thus enabled to face situations with new complexities (which pose new challenges) at the end of their learning course. The paper aims to present the innovative teaching methodologies experimented in the last years within the course of architectural technology in the five years degree in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, Sapienza University of Rome. It includes considerations regarding the classroom vs. online learning, experienced during the COVID-19 lockdown phases, considering the results of a survey that collected 158 students’ views. The creation of an active learning environment could support the preparation of professional figures and architects able to manage emerging challenges, adapt to future modalities, and make use of information and communication technologies, that are rapidly changing, especially after the unexpected shift caused by the pandemic phase.
The Agile Paradigm and Organisation Development in Higher Educational Institutions
Authors: Francis David Louis
Published: June 2022

This article has two objectives. First, is to provoke consideration as to whether a set of constructs known as ‘the Agile Paradigm’ provides a relevant model for organisation development in Higher Education Institutions as they confront a period of increasingly VUCA (volatile + uncertain + complex + ambiguous) conditions, a changing and threatening competitive environment, a need to become stronger in facilitating personal development and a different landscape of opportunities and threats largely provoked by the onset of the 4th Industrial Revolution.The second objective is to outline the findings of a scoping research study into the range of competences that will be needed by future students of Management to enhance their ability to be agile – resilient, efficient and effective - when facing 21st century challenges.
Modulação imunológica da microbiota
Authors: Batista Gabryella Silva , Reis Eurípedes Barsanulfo Borges dos
Published: June 2022

Introdução: A disbiose ocasionada pelo desequilíbrio quantitativo e qualitativo dos micro--organismos constituintes da microbiota intestinal é um dos mecanismos preponderantes para a incompetência imunológica e a predisposição para o acometimento da saúde do hospedeiro. Os hábitos de vida que englobam a adequada manutenção do peso corporal, ingestão de nutrientes antioxidantes e fibras, a prática da higiene do sono e o controle do estresse mostram-se relevantes para a modulação de um sistema imune eficiente. Será discutido no presente trabalho o papel da modulação imunológica na regulação da inflamação orgânica. Objetivo: Identificar as influências da microbiota presente no sistema intestinal na composição da imunidade do indivíduo. Material e Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva de levantamento bibliográfico a partir de publicações científicas nos idiomas de português, espanhol e inglês. Foram consultados livros, dissertações, teses e outras documentações eletrônicas vinculadas às bases de dados como PUBMED, SciELO, ME-DLINE, LILACS sobretudo nos últimos 15 anos (2007-2022), selecionados nos idiomas de português, inglês e espanhol, com motores de busca através de trabalhos publicados em periódicos. Discussão: A microbiota intestinal é constituída por bactérias que têm sítios de adesão específicos que são determinados geneticamente. Diversos fatores podem interagir com a composição e influenciar a permeabilidade da barreira do epitélio intestinal. O sistema imunológico responde a modulação desses microorganismos presentes no intestino podendo deixar o organismo mais vulnerável a doenças. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a microbiota intestinal apresentando distúrbios retroalimenta a inflamação localizada no próprio órgão, como também a inflamação metabólica e sistêmica, perpetuando um ambiente rico em citocinas e metabólitos pró-inflamatórios, fatores que repercutem negativamente para a saúde imunológica do indivíduo.

Moral Value Comparison in Indonesian and British Folklores in Children Literature
Authors: Silalahi Ronald Maraden Parlindungan , Juliana Rika , Citradi Hanson , Cecilia Cecilia
Published: June 2022

Folklore is a story created by the community whose existence is intended to entertain children through stories containing moral values to have an essential role for children. It usually based on the culture of those who created them, making folklores from different areas unique in their ways, including the morals they teach. This article is qualitatively aimed to analyse and compare folklores from both Indonesia and Britain, finding similarities and differences in the moral values they teach. This research is directed to compare folklore originating from Indonesia and England because they both have different cultural backgrounds and analyse how each culture can differentiate between two similar stories. The new criticism theory is applied during the comparison process, divided into first analysing the story, ending with the morals that the story attempts to teach. The result of this study shows that, despite the difference in culture between the two cultures, their folklores can teach the same morals, as shown by “Saudagar yang Kikir” dan “The Old Witch”. On the other hand, ‘Legenda Batu Menangis’ and ‘Cap O’ Rushes’ contain different moral values and are more difficult to compare, despite both having familial themes..

Learning Perceptive Mental Processes in Angkola Language
Authors: Pulungan Husniah Ramadhani , Chalimah Chalimah , Daulay Muhammad Roihan , Masuwd Mowafg Abrahem , Kristiawan Muhammad
Published: June 2022

This article aims to reveal the learning of patterns and cultural influences of perceptive mental processes in Angkola language with a Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach. This is because learning research tends to offer research related to language learning models and language learning media from various perspectives. Meanwhile, the content of the learning is still limited to be analyzed in certain grammar. This research offers perceptive mental process learning based on one of the regional languages in Indonesia, namely Angkola language which needs to be raised considering that this language still includes native speakers. Thus, the Angkola language must be included in the list of documentation of languages and oral traditions that should be preserved in order to maintain the wealth of the archipelago. The method used is descriptive qualitative with transitivity analysis. The results of the analysis show that the Angkola community in expressing perceptive mental processes produces two patterns, one sequential pattern and one non-sequential pattern. However, for non-sequential patterns, after the process is not followed by sensing but is followed by a phenomenon then sensing afterwards. The uniqueness and symptoms of this strangeness are found in the study of perceptive mental processes in the Angkola language. Therefore, according to the presentation of the analysis, it can be proven the consistency, prevalence and acceptance of this pattern in transitivity in the Angkola language.

Perceptions and expectations of IT service delivery post migration to a Microsoft platform at a university of technology in South Africa
Authors:   , Reddy Nerina
Published: June 2022

The implementation of Microsoft (MS) technologies and solutions as organisational infrastructure within the higher education arena has become a popular choice both internationally and within South Africa. With benefits such as reduced costs, improved productivity and improved service delivery to both staff and students, MS technologies and solutions seem to be the preferred choice for many institutions worldwide. The Durban University of Technology (DUT) was the first university of technology in South Africa to implement all nine MS technologies simultaneously. Since migration to the MS platform in 2009, DUT staff have raised concerns regarding the new solutions, particularly with reference to aspects such as security, accessibility, and reluctance to use self-help tools to improve their IT experience. Migrating from a non-integrated system to an integrated MS platform thus resulted in IT service delivery becoming a contentious issue. . This study discussed: the quality of IT service delivery regarding the MS infrastructure within the DUT; the types of MS technologies and solutions implemented; the resulting impact that these have had on the full time administrative and academic staff at the DUT; and their perceptions and expectations of IT service delivery. Using a mixed methods research approach and underpinned by the modified SERVQUAL framework viz. RATER, the quality of this service was investigated. This study yielded both positive and negative findings regarding expectations and perceptions of the quality of IT services. Results indicated that although staff were generally positive about the migration and satisfied with the resulting IT service delivery, there was room for improvement in terms of the quality of IT services offered by DUT’s Information Technology Support Services Department. Based on the findings, recommendations for improved IT service delivery (ITSD) and IT service management (ITSM) were proposed. It was also recommended that the framework deemed most suitable in the MS dominant IT infrastructure, is the MS Operations framework.
Regional early-stage entrepreneurship in the European Union
Authors: Vrdoljak Mateo Ivan , Radman Funarić Mirjana
Published: June 2022

Purpose: Entrepreneurship is often viewed as a driver of the global economy. However, previous research on the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth shows contradictory results depending on the research settings. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how early-stage entrepreneurship - including only enterprises that are less than three and a half years old - affects regional economic growth in the European Union. Methodology: The methodology includes three methods: bivariate correlation, fixed effects regression with region and time fixed effects and spatial fixed effects regression. The panel sample consists of 273 NUTS 2 regions between 2008 and 2017. Results: The results support the hypothesis of this research and show that early-stage entrepreneurship has a mild positive effect on the economic growth of European regions. However, the potential bidirectional nature of this relationship obliterates the ability to comment on the causality of this link. The percentage of people in the active population employed in human resources in science and technology and gross fixed capital formation have a significant and impactful effect on regional GDP. Conclusion: The conclusion can be drawn that the effect of early-stage entrepreneurship on regional economic growth is conditioned by the population density of the region. Although these results show that enterprises founded in densely populated areas such as cities and metropolitan areas tend to have a larger effect on the regional economy, the results are ambiguous.

Authors: Biloš Antun , Turkalj Davorin , Budimčić Ivan
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The paper examines the opinions and attitudes of young adults as the target audience towards a high-tech brand on several specific levels. The goal of research is to investigate and explore the perception of both Apple product users and non-users related to the Apple brand, brand loyalty, purchase intention, recommendation intention, and other aspects. Methodology: The research instrument was created for the purpose of this research and was partially based on several prior studies with different standpoints. The online questionnaire consists of 22 items and was carried out in 2019. Parametric and nonparametric statistical tests were used for testing the difference between sample segments. Results: The results indicate that the Apple brand has a generally positive image among the respondents. The majority of the respondents use or have used at least one Apple product. Apple users are generally loyal to the brand and willing to recommend Apple products to their friends and family. Users primarily recall Apple as a top-of-mind (first-mention) high-quality smartphone brand. In contrast, non-consumers tend to recall different brand names when thinking about high-end smartphones but also suggest that a brand name is an important factor in the consumer decision-making process. Conclusion: Collected data and related analysis provide insight into (non)consumer perception of the Apple brand and Apple products in the Croatian market accentuating the main consumer attitudes and brand perception related to a high-tech brand.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to identify the most exposed business processes in the pandemic era and investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected these processes in the processing companies in Brod-Posavina County. Methodology: The questionnaire was sent electronically to the official e-mail addresses of 49 processing companies in Brod-Posavina County according to the FINA register. The questionnaire was filled in by 102 respondents from 35 processing companies. The survey included employees of companies with more than 3 years of work experience in the considered company who are employed in management, commercial, financial or technical positions. The study uses descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate factor analysis. Results: The most exposed business processes were selected. Based on respondent’s perceptions, research results confirm the exposure of all mentioned business processes to the coronavirus pandemic. “Work organization” and “commercial and financial area” are recognized as the most exposed business process and business area significantly exposed to the risk of unsustainability in Brod-Posavina County processing companies, respectively. Conclusion: The research findings confirmed the hypotheses of the paper, which propose that the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic had an impact on all business processes in processing companies and there was a business area significantly exposed to the risk of unsustainability in the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic. The identified business process and business area may serve as a basis for comparison in similar future cases.

The effects of creativity supported at the university on entrepreneurial behavior
Authors: Ćatić-Kajtazović Elvira , Glavaš Jerko , Kljajić-Dervić Mirela
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This paper examines direct and serial indirect effects of creativity supported at the university on male and female entrepreneurial behavior through entrepreneurial self-efficacy and individual entrepreneurial intent. Methodology: The hypothesized model (which we tested) was a serial mediation model with two mediators. To examine the question of whether the relationship between variables varies by gender, model 6 in PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2018) was utilized separately for male (n = 218) and female (n = 385) students from nine different universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Results: Serial mediation of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and individual entrepreneurial intent in the relationship between creativity supported at the university and student entrepreneurial behavior were supported in both male and female samples. Conclusion: Serial mediation analyses indicated that a higher level of creativity supported at the university will improve student entrepreneurial self-efficacy, which may increase their entrepreneurial intent, and consequently, their entrepreneurial behavior. When the university encourages students to produce new ideas and examine old problems in new ways, it improves student confidence in their ability to mobilize cognitive, motivational, and behavioral facilities to perform entrepreneurial tasks successfully, and, in response, students demonstrate a higher level of individual entrepreneurial intent and a greater propensity for entrepreneurial behavior. However, it should be noted that an indirect effect of UC on EB only through EI was not significant in the female sample, which highlights the importance of ESE in the relationship between UC, female EI, and female EB. The results opened up a new field of research on how other types of creativity and other types of university support may affect students’ entrepreneurial behavior.

In rural areas where measuring scales are expensive and unavailable, linear body measurements can be used as predictors of body weight. Breast girth (BG), body length (BL), wing span (WS), wing length (WL), and thigh length (TL) of Nigerian local turkeys are the best discriminating variables in differentiating the birds, according to recent studies. There are also significant physical differences between the sexes, as well as differences in trait associations within each sex. Genetic differences may account for the majority of morphological differences in turkeys. In developing and underdeveloped countries, discriminant analysis provides a practical analytical framework for characterizing and managing turkey's genetic resources. To fully understand the genetic variation among indigenous, crossbred, and exotic turkeys, this study should be followed up with molecular approaches. The ability to distinguish the growth traits of indigenous or native, exotic and crossbred turkeys in Nigeria using multivariate discriminant analysis could aid in the implementation of a conservation and improvement strategy for indigenous turkeys, ensuring the long-term development of animals using their genetic merits.

 

 

Dans les zones rurales où les échelles de mesure sont chères et indisponibles, les mesures corporelles linéaires peuvent être utilisées comme prédicteurs du poids corporel. La circonférence de la poitrine (CP), la longueur du corps (LC), l'envergure des ailes (EA), la longueur des ailes (LA) et la longueur des cuisses (LC) des dindes locales nigérianes sont les meilleures variables discriminantes pour différencier les oiseaux, selon des études récentes. Il existe également des différences physiques significatives entre les sexes, ainsi que des différences dans les associations de traits au sein de chaque sexe. Les différences génétiques peuvent expliquer la majorité des différences morphologiques chez les dindes. Dans les pays en développement et sous-développés, l'analyse discriminante fournit un cadre analytique pratique pour caractériser et gérer les ressources génétiques de la dinde. Pour bien comprendre la variation génétique parmi les dindes indigènes, croisées et exotiques, cette étude devrait être suivie d'approches moléculaires. La capacité de distinguer les traits de croissance des dindes indigènes ou indigènes, exotiques et croisées au Nigeria à l'aide d'une analyse discriminante multivariée pourrait aider à la mise en œuvre d'une stratégie de conservation et d'amélioration des dindes indigènes, assurant le développement à long terme des animaux en utilisant leurs mérites génétiques.

Abstract. This study reports measurements of size-resolved aerosol
composition at a site in Incheon along with other aerosol characteristics
for contrast between Incheon (coastal) and Seoul (inland), South Korea,
during a transboundary pollution event during the early part of an intensive
sampling period between 4 and 11 March 2019. Anthropogenic emissions were
dominant in the boundary layer over the study region between 4 and 6 March,
with much smaller contributions from dust, smoke, and sea salt. The
meteorology of this period (shallow boundary layer, enhanced humidity, and
low temperature) promoted local heterogeneous formation of secondary
inorganic and organic species, including high nitrate (NO3-)
relative to sulfate (SO42-). Seoul exhibited higher PM2.5
levels than Incheon, likely due to local emissions. The following findings
point to secondary aerosol formation and growth sensitivity to water vapor
during this pollution event: (i) significant concentrations of individual
inorganic and organic acids in the supermicrometer range relative to their
full size range (∼40 %) at higher humidity; (ii) high
correlation (r=0.95) between oxalate and SO42-, a marker of
secondary aqueous production of oxalate; (iii) increased sulfur and nitrogen
oxidation ratios as a function of humidity; and (iv) matching composition
apportionment (for soluble ions) between the PM1 and PM2.5−1 size
fractions. The last finding confirms that PM1 aerosol composition
measurements fully capture PM2.5 composition apportionment (for soluble
ions) during haze events and may therefore be reliably applied in modeling
studies of such events over the full PM2.5 size range. However, the
differences evident in the periods following the haze event imply that under
other atmospheric conditions PM1 composition measurements will not
fully reflect the apportionment of PM2.5 aerosols. The study period was
marked by relatively low temperatures that made NO3- the most
abundant species detected, pointing to the sensitivity of PM2.5 levels
and composition as a function of season during such transboundary events.
For instance, other such events in previous studies exhibited more
comparable levels between SO42- and NO3- coincident with
higher temperatures than the current study. This dataset can contribute to
future evaluation of model PM2.5 composition to better support
regulatory efforts to control PM2.5 precursors.
Machine Learning with Kay

Abstract. Computational power is very important when training Deep Learning (DL) models with large amounts of data (Wooldridge, 2021). Hence, High-Performance Computing (HPC) can be leveraged to reduce computational cost, and the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) provides significant infrastructure and services for research and development to both academia and industry. A portion of ICHEC's HPC system has been allocated for institutional access, and this paper presents a case study of how to use Kay (Ireland's national supercomputer) in the remote sensing domain. Specifically, this study uses clusters of Kay Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for training DL models to extract buildings from satellite imagery using a large number of input data samples.

Abstract. The paper presents the outline of development of the Lithuanian SDI from its initial idea in 2002 to the functional and mature system in 2022. The aspects of organizational co-ordination, spatial competencies and impact on the development of the society are briefly discussed. Evaluation of maturity of the SDI is evaluated using original method and presented in an aggregated form for the five milestones of the SDI development timeline. Economic and social benefits and accuracy of prognoses is retrospectively evaluated using actual numbers of users and use cases. Impact of new framework data services, new administrative services and provision of open data is demonstrated by different indicators of growth of use of the SDI. Future trends and threats are discussed.

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Point Pattern Analysis is already used in medical research, socio-economics and a huge number of related fields. Due to the nature of data on historical monuments is apparent to apply these methods in the context of analysing such monuments. The objective of this paper is, to propose explanatory approach to analyse point patterns using the example of historical buildings of Mexico City and Valley of Mexico. The focus of this work in progress, is on the examination of the underlying spatial pattern of historic monuments in Mexico Valley, and to evaluate if the emerging patterns match facts from scientific literature in the field of History. Key findings of this work in progress are, that the point patterns found can be explained by historic processes. Hence, this indicates that point pattern analyses can help to gain a deeper insight in historical data and processes alike.
Assessing the Influences of Band Selection and Pretrained Weights on Semantic-Segmentation-Based Refugee Dwelling Extraction from Satellite Imagery

Published: June 2022

Abstract. This research assessed the influences of four band combinations and three types of pretrained weights on the performance of semantic segmentation in extracting refugee dwelling footprints of the Kule refugee camp in Ethiopia during a dry season and a wet season from very high spatial resolution imagery. We chose a classical network, U-Net with VGG16 as a backbone, for all segmentation experiments. The selected band combinations include 1) RGBN (Red, Green, Blue, and Near Infrared), 2) RGB, 3) RGN, and 4) RNB. The three types of pretrained weights are 1) randomly initialized weights, 2) pretrained weights from ImageNet, and 3) weights pretrained on data from the Bria refugee camp in the Central African Republic). The results turn out that three-band combinations outperform RGBN bands across all types of weights and seasons. Replacing the B or G band with the N band can improve the performance in extracting dwellings during the wet season but cannot bring improvement to the dry season in general. Pretrained weights from ImageNet achieve the best performance. Weights pretrained on data from the Bria refugee camp produced the lowest IoU and Recall values.
CrossroadsDescriber – Automatic Textual Description of OpenStreetMap Intersections
Authors: Kalsron Jérémy , Favreau Jean-Marie , Touya Guillaume
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Crossing an intersection is a challenge for visually impaired people. While tactile maps can be a medium for appropriating this complex space, they benefit from being complemented by audio information. In this paper we propose a data model to describe an intersection, the paths that allow to cross it, and their accessibility attributes. We also present methods to generate this model automatically from OpenStreetMap, by inferring missing data through graph analysis techniques. Finally, we present an implementation, the evaluation of which confirms the ability of the model to generate a compliant description for intersections with enough data.
Classifying pedestrian trajectories by Machine learning using laser sensor data
Authors: Kaneko Hiroyuki , Osaragi Toshihiro
Published: June 2022

Abstract. In the field of facility planning, the analysis of pedestrian trajectories using laser sensor-based behavior monitoring technologies is a proven way to improve our understanding of the behavioral features of foot-travelers. While these technologies can gather large volumes of trajectory data, the analysis of such data is a chaotic and complicated task and creates a large workload if it must be interpreted visually by human analysts. Hence, a method is needed for automatically extracting the features and their separate components from pedestrian trajectories and patterns. This study proposes just such a method based on a Restricted Boltzmann machine, a machine learning tool, to automatically extract and classify the latent features of pedestrian trajectories. Our method was applied to data taken in the outpatient waiting area of a hospital and the machine learning generated results were compared to those of visual classifications by human analysts. It was shown to be functional for classifying trajectories by orientation, stopping location and walking speed, and was considered effective for furnishing rough classifications resembling the intuition-based classifications of a human analyst.
