Review of Automatic Language Identification System in Indian languages from the Non-Uniform Region
Authors: M R KARTHIKA , GEORGE Prof. ANU
Published: March 2023

Abstract—The process of language identification involves au- tomatically detecting which natural language(s) are given in a speech sample. Using automatic language recognition, an audio clip can be recognised as being spoken in a specific language (LID). Identifying the language correctly from a given speech sample is the language identification system’s fundamental purpose. There are two types of systems they are explicit language identification and implicit language identification. The phoneme sequence used in the explicit language recognition system is produced from a speech sample. Language is determined using the phoneme sequence that is retrieved. There is no need to identify the phoneme in the implicit language recognition method, which determines using certain speech properties. The language identification process involves training and a classifier model. the first step is to extract the speech sample using phonemes then it is trained using classifiers. Data are randomly collected from male and female peoples in society. Index Terms—Language identification (LID), Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), broad phoneme classifier (BPC),Neural network, support vector machine (SVM), LDA, CNN,i-vector,GMM Super Vector(GSV),Factor Analysis(FA),Native Language Identification (NLI),Stylistically Related Text Samples (SSTs),Deep Dumb Multi Layer Perceptron (DDMLP), Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), and Semi-supervised Generative Adversarial Network(SSGAN),Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs),Hidden Markov models (HMMs),phone error rate (PER),Convolutional and Long Short Term Memory Recurrent (CLSTM), Neural Networks ,Singing Language Identification (SLID),Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).

Published: March 2023

There are always potential hazards from hackers, adware, malware, and viruses. Many big international corporations have experienced hacking and security breaches in the previous few years. In certain instances, this has resulted in the leakage of private and confidential information, such as bank account information, addresses, and transactions, but there are security measures in place that can block these things before they get too close to the company's private data. This is crucial for both secrecy and to avoid paying the steep fines levied on businesses that fail to adequately safeguard customer information. The project is a verification mechanism that only allows users with the proper input credentials to access the system. The project involves modules or user certificates. Security credentials come in a variety of forms. Thus, we incorporate a unique blockchain for banking security and user authentication in this proposed methodology. This degree of authentication reduces the possibility of hacking and the loss of sensitive data. Also, in the current environment, safer bank transactions are necessary due to advancements in security technologies. They have also made advances into industries, healthcare, telecommunications, and home automation, among others. A distributed ledger is basically what a blockchain is. It can keep information about who owns a certain piece of property or, for example, a bond. A permanent record of ownership can be maintained using technology, which also makes it possible for parties with a low level of trust to exchange the asset. Key Words: Custom Blockchain, Distributed Ledger, Authentications, Confidentiality, Transactions, Security System, Credentials, Banking Security, etc.

Authors: Tulshidas Bambole Sumitkumar , Khan Imran Ahmad , Dhandre Himanshu Suresh
Published: March 2023

The need for vehicle production now is an increase in vehicle demand at a lower rate. Customers' expectations in terms of longevity, effectiveness, and affordability are increasing tremendously. Automobile wheels constructed of an alloy of aluminium or magnesium metals, or occasionally a combination of the two alloys, are known as alloy wheels. Because they are lighter than steel wheels, alloy wheels are superior to steel wheels for motorcycle driving and handling. Overdesigned vehicle load components increase weight and decrease efficiency. The suspension system supports all of the wheels, which can be changed and adjusted to reduce weight and expense. All of the wheels carry the vehicle's sprung mass. There were already existing alloy components in the reverse-engineered and CAD modelled using CATIA V5 software. Key Words: Composite material, Alloy wheels, Magnesium alloy, Design optimization, weight optimization, stress analysis,

Published: March 2023

The paper on the topic “A study on the causes of employee turnover and different retention tactics developed by businesses” is mainly concentrate on various causes that result in the resignation of an employee in this present scenario. The term resignation is defined as “the movement of the employees beyond organizational boundaries” or it can also be “rotation of the workers around the labour market; between firms, jobs and occupation; and between states of employment and unemployment”. This paper deals with the various causes that result in this great resignation drive. In organizational point of view, replacing an experienced employee is costly as it required training. In order to overcome this, the firm must try to retain experienced employees. Here, this paper also look into various strategies that the firm can adopt to reduce attrition rate. It also include various ways to implement motivational theories in an organization to reduce employee turnover rate and retain them.

Authors: Coulibaly Gaoussou , Dongo Kouassi , Zouzou Fabien , Ouattara Mamadou , Raso Giovanna , N’Goran Eliezer K.
Published: March 2023

Lack of appropriate sanitation, with poor hygiene and unsafe water, are sources of the spread of diseases. Ongoing efforts to control neglected tropical diseases, including helminth and intestinal protozoan infections, must be maintained and strengthened with new approaches. The aim of this study was to test the adherence of communities to the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach. The study was conducted in three (3) departments in south- central Côte d'Ivoire. In practice, the process of implementing CLTS involves 5 major steps: i) Mapping of defecation areas, ii) Calculating of human fecal matter quantity and medical costs, iii) Walk of shame, iv) Analysis of contamination pathways, v) Community decision making and latrine construction. Overall, latrine coverage and usage rates have increased considerably in the intervention localities. In particular, out of the 26 localities where the CLTS was applied, 11 reached a latrine coverage rate higher than 80%, 6 of which reached a 100% coverage rate. The results of this work should be used to raise awareness in rural communities about the importance of building and using latrines. Furthermore, CLTS implemented on a large scale can contribute to achieving Goal 3 and 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Transcultural Dilemma and Identity Crises in Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies
Authors: Rahman Muhd. Mustafizur
Published: March 2023

These nine cohesive stories Lahiri has written, most of which are set around in India, and the United States, the United Kingdom, etc. are much regarded. These immigrants typically experience hallucinations or seek for their own distinctiveness. Like its majority of these works are set in both India and the United States, they highlight the problem of Indo-American culture and identity. Its majority of her paintings depict three descendants of immigrants into America, mostly from the Indian Bengali community, who are struggling with questions of their ethnic identity. Inside the majority in these tales, the protagonists were engaged with their profession, and they have shown genuine compassion towards her as they search out their individuality. This same majority of first immigrants in her writings experience ethnic crises despite their greatest efforts to maintain their ideas, morals, as well as other lifestyles; yet, many struggle with identification conflicts as a result of living in exile. An essay would mainly discuss Jhumpa Lahiri's writings' identification crises, with "Interpreter of Maladies" receiving particular attention.
A Study of Irish Cultural Identity in J.M. Synge’s Riders to the Sea
Authors: Waziri Bilal , Najimuddin Md
Published: March 2023

John Millington Synge (1871-1909) is one of the most outstanding Irish playwrights. He is known for his realistic vision and authentic contributions to Irish drama. He was one of the earliest realistic writers to represent Irish society brilliantly in his plays. One of his greatest contributions has been his association with the Irish Literacy Revival. The Irish Literary Revival also called the Irish Literary Renaissance or Celtic Twilight began around 1885 and ended during the early twentieth century.  Though the primary aim of this movement was to gain home rule and independence from England, it also resulted in vigorous literary productions. Writers and scholars struggled to create works that were authentically and originally Irish. Here Synge played an active and key role in writing plays in stylized peasant dialect. He was a prominent figure in the Abbey Theatre of Ireland, founded in 1903 by William Butler Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory, which opened its doors in 1904. Thus, he contributed immensely to the development of modern Irish drama and left an indelible impression on Irish literature. This paper aims to analyze Synge’s role in the Irish Literary Renaissance and the formation of Irish cultural identity vis-a-vis his play Riders to the Sea. Riders to the Sea (1904) is a one-act tragic play that contains both modern and classical elements of tragedy. This play deals with the sorrows and predicaments of human beings on Aran Island.  The paper will further explore the representation of Irish peasant society which is based upon his keen observation of the sufferings, perils, and traditions of Irish people during his staying in Aran Island.
Maternal Comorbidities with Full-Term Pregnancy Who Gave Birth to Low Birth Weight Babies at Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang General Hospital
Authors: I Wayan Agung Indrawan  , Obi Candra Kapisa
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Stunting is a challenge for children's growth and development in the future, which has long-term impacts in the form of reduced cognitive abilities, decreased productivity, and increased risk of infection and non-communicable diseases. Low birth weight (LBW) is a major determinant of stunting in Indonesia. Various multidimensional factors contribute to low birth weight, including maternal factors.
Material and Methods: Quantitative descriptive research was conducted at Dr. Saiful Anwar general hospital from July 2021 to September 2022. The variables studied were age, education, occupation, parity status, medical history, number of antenatal care controls, height, mother's body mass index, and baby's birth weight.
Results: Of the 54 full-term pregnant women, the majority who delivered LBW babies were nulliparous (42.6%), aged 20-35 years during pregnancy (79.6%), had a history of hypertension during pregnancy (25.9%), antenatal care visits 1-5 times (48.1%), high school degree (48.1%), housewives (75.9%), height ranging between 151-160 cm (64.8%), and BMI 18.5 to 25 kg/m 2 (51.9%).
Conclusion: Maternal factors that contribute to the birth of LBW babies include low parities, age 20 to 35 years during pregnancy, hypertension in pregnancy, infrequent antenatal care visits, high school degree, work as a housewife, height ranging between 151 -160 cm, and had a normal BMI. The representation of the mother's BMI and educational level in this study differs from that in previous studies.

As this trend is very likely to continue, in this paper we will try to anticipate some possible technology enriched future lecture scenarios. We also present ALFs, a system which aims to improve the communication between participants in a lecture making use of augmented reality techniques.
REFF book as a Mode-2 learning platform
Authors: Simeone Luca , Iaconesi Salvatore , Monaco Federico
Published: March 2023

This paper explores augmented reality as a set of technologies and processes that weave hypermedial content into printed publications thus fostering new educational practices. The idea was to implement a platform fostering what has been defined as ‘Mode-2’ knowledge production practice. This is a practice that involves multi-disciplinary teams, brought together for short periods of time to work on specific, complex problems in the real world. In particular this paper focuses on augmented reality as a bridge to extend traditional hypermediality to paper-based educational tools, analyzing as case study a book recently released by the Italian publisher FakePress. The book addresses the concept of remix as a political and educational practice and is based on an extensive use of QR codes and fiduciary markers that act as triggers to retrieve and show additional content published by both authors and readers through an open CMS (Content Management System). The QR codes and the fiduciary markers work as links to hypermedial remixes that extend the limits of traditional educational text books.
Scenarios for active learning in smart territories
Authors: Giovannella Carlo , Iosue Andrea , Tancredi Antonello , Cicola Fabrizio , Camusi Andrea , Moggio Fabrizia , Baraniello Vincenzo , Carcone Simone , Coco Silvio
Published: March 2023

This work is intended to foster a “quantum leap” in the reflection on learning in smart cities/territories. We try to move from a vision according to which education is identified with “infrastructures and services” needed to sustain the smart city “organism” (due also to the social capital that it may produce) toward a “new” vision that recovers the founding role of the educative processes, through which the relationships between persons and inhabited territories are continuously reshaped. According to that we present: a) a strategic and methodological approach focused on museal field and narrative as key elements of future ‘learning from smart cities’; b) a model of an advanced integrated technological environment (mobile, web, internet of things) designed to support such an approach. The need for a different approach to the monitoring of complex learning experiences is also underlined.

Authors: Sintoris Christos , Yiannoutsou Nikoleta , Demetriou Soteris , Avouris Nikolaos
Published: March 2023

In this paper we discuss how location-based mobile games can be designed for learning in modern technology enhanced public spaces. We start with the description of the design process and we identify the main challenges faced. We elaborate the case of the game Invisible City: Rebels vs. Spies, a game to be played in a city centre using mobile devices. Through this case we highlight the adaptation of an original party game into a mobile form, the issues we faced and the key aspects conductive to learning in a smart city. It is claimed that creating mobile city games for learning is a new challenge, as our city landscapes are augmented with an increasing number of layers of digital information in which a new generation of city games are played.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to redefine spaces of learning to places of learning through the direct engagement of local communities as a way to examine and learn from real world issues in the city. This paper exemplifies Smart City Learning, where the key goal is to promote the generation and exchange of urban design ideas for the future development of South Bank, in Brisbane, Australia, informing the creation of new design policies responding to the needs of local citizens. Specific to this project was the implementation of urban informatics techniques and approaches to promote innovative engagement strategies. Architecture and Urban Design students were encouraged to review and appropriate real-time, ubiquitous technology, social media, and mobile devices that were used by urban residents to augment and mediate the physical and digital layers of urban infrastructures. Our study’s experience found that urban informatics provide an innovative opportunity to enrich students’ place of learning within the city.
Learning Activities in a Sociable Smart City
Authors: Christopoulou Eleni , Ringas Dimitrios
Published: March 2023

We present our approach on how smart city technologies may enhance the learning process. We have developed the CLIO urban computing system, which invites people to share personal memories and interact the collective city memory. Various educational scenarios and activities were performed exploiting CLIO; in this paper we present the methodology we followed and the experience we gained. Learning has always been the cognitive process of acquiring skills or knowledge, while teachers are often eager to experiment with novel technological means and methods; our aim was to explore the effect that urban computing could have to the learning process. We applied our methodology in the city of Corfu inviting schools to engage their students in learning through the collective city memory while exploiting urban computing. Results from our experience demonstrate the potential of exploiting urban computing in the learning process and the benefits of learning out of the classroom.
Multi-channel, multi-objective, multi-context services: The glue of the smart cities learning ecosystem
Authors: Pérez-Sanagustín Mar , Buchem Ilona , Delgado Kloos Carlos
Published: March 2023

Smart devices in combination with other digital tools have occupied the cities transforming citizens’ urban experience. People are connected any time and anywhere with their global identities changing their relation to the local. People live in glocalities, where the local and the global co-exists. Glocalities are unique and constantly changing in a lifelong-learning process in which the citizen is in the centre. There is an urgent need for services to support glocal, reciprocal and multi-episodic lifelong learning processes in digital urban spaces. In this paper we define three key attributes that these services has to fulfil for being the glue to connect and guide the complex technology-enhanced learning ecosystems in smart cities: multi-channel, multi-objective and multi- context. Finally, we give an example of these types of services and contribute with an illustrative glocalised learning scenario showing how life-long learning processes would be supported in smart cities of the future.

Sharing is caring. Sharing and documenting complex participatory projects to enable generative participation
Authors: Schoffelen Jessica , Huybrechts Liesbeth
Published: March 2023

This article reflects on how sharing documentation of subjective viewpoints on complex participatory projects can contribute to end-user development in or generativity of projects. We will discuss the documentation approaches of some participatory projects that combine the development of software and hardware in a cultural, social or health context with groups of participants with an eye on generating ongoing participation. We will also describe how we, inspired by these projects, developed 1. a “thick documentation” approach, based on a collaborative mapping method called MAP-it 2. that provides a dynamic view, revealing the diverse subjective perspectives on the project; 3. that motivates different types of makers and participants to participate in documenting; 4. that aims for generativity. We evaluated our approach on these 4 goals and propose future challenges.

The use of digital maps capitalizes on the long tradition of using paper maps as mean of communication and learning among people. More than ever, maps are becoming one of the most used metaphors to present concepts and knowledge. This paper presents a wiki infrastructure for map-based information systems’ design that, through an ontology, defines a semantic model able to minimize the problems in communication across interdisciplinary communities by putting together cultural information from different data sources. Using map-oriented solution, the wiki is aimed at enabling intercultural collaboration and learning among all the stakeholders involved in cultural heritage projects. A living lab based on the use of the CulturalWiki framework is described and the results of evaluations are presented.
Playing by the rules: co-designing interactive installations with pupils
Authors: Deriu Massimo , Uras Selene , Simbula Gian Maria , Ardu Daniele , Paddeu Gavino
Published: March 2023

During the last couple of decades our perception of what constitutes a good learning environment has changed. Thanks to the use of technology, education is evolving from a passive model towards a more productive model, where students generate knowledge, teach each other, and collaborate on activities that make learning fun and interesting. In some previous works we have adopted this attitude: creating interactive installations thought for learning in an amusing way. Design-based research has demonstrated its potential as a methodology suitable to both research and design of technology-enhanced learning environments, a further step consists in co-design: students directly involved in designing with researchers. This paper provides some comments on the evaluation of the learning experience using two interactive installations promoting eco-friendly behaviours, and describe our experience in codesigning with pupils. We also report the ethnographic research performed underlining the weaknesses and the strengths, the difficulties and findings during the whole work.
Towards a “non-disposable” software infrastructure for participation
Authors: Cahier Jean-Pierre , Bénel Aurélien , Salembier Pascal
Published: March 2023

For many years now our research team has been involved in an effort (both theoretical and technological) that can be labeled as an attempt to investigate the notion of cooperation from the ‘participation’ or ‘contribution’ perspective. From our perspective, it encompasses a set of situations in which different actors identified or unidentified, ratified or not, distributed in space and time, contribute to a sometimes ill-defined collective goal, using most of the time low-overhead web-based technologies. Doing so, people participate to a collective design that aims at generating a bunch of perpetually moving collective knowledge and decisions submitted to discussion, negotiation and sometimes dismissal. To avoid the design of services as a repeated ‘one-shot’ process we have gradually built a transverse software infrastructure that can be used in various projects aiming to design participatory services using complex knowledge and cooperations. Thanks to this “non-disposable” infrastructure, the participatory services designed take profit from the scientific outcomes of each previous project.
Profiling the Educational Value of Computer Games

There are currently a number of suggestions for educators to include computer games in formal teaching and learning contexts. Educational value is based on claims that games promote the development of complex learning. Very little research, however, has explored what features should be present in a computer game to make it valuable or conducive to learning. We present a list of required features for an educational game to be of value, informed by two studies, which integrated theories of Learning Environments and Learning Styles. A user survey showed that some requirements were typical of games in a particular genre, while other features were present across all genres. The paper concludes with a proposed framework of games and features within and across genres to assist in the design and selection of games for a given educational scenario.
Psychological Perspectives on Motivation through Gamification

Gamification is an innovative approach to foster motivation. It refers to the use of game elements in non-game contexts. This article adopts a differentiated view on the topic of gamification and investigates, how and why different game elements can address different motivational mechanisms. At first, the concept of gamification and specific game elements characteristic of gamification are described. After that, different motivational perspectives were analyzed and motivational mechanisms in form of effect hypotheses were derived from these perspectives. To investigate the motivational pull of gamification, game elements are matched with motivational mechanisms. Our theoretical inquiry shows that gamification potentially addresses motivational mechanisms and thereby fosters motivation. These theoretical results can be used for the effective design of gamification environments and represent a basis for empirical research. Further research is required to confirm these theoretical findings.
The Relation between Virtual Presence and Learning Outcomes in Serious Games – The Mediating Effect of Motivation
Authors: Schrader Claudia
Published: March 2023

Does the immersive design of a serious game affect learners’ virtual presence? Does virtual presence improve learning? By identifying virtual presence as a variable that may determine learning outcomes, it is argued that computer gaming environments present a new challenge for researchers to investigate. Particularly, the effect of games on virtual presence might help designers to predict which instructional configurations will maximize learning performance. Results indicate that the serious game used as an example in this study leads to a strong form of virtual presence. Virtual presence enhanced retention and comprehension but not transfer. It also significantly increased learners’ motivation. Mediation analyses report that the positive relation between virtual presence, retention and comprehension is mediated through increased motivation. These findings suggest that the relation between all variables should be considered an important factor in the design of virtual worlds for learning.
Designing Serious Games for getting transferable skills in training settings

Published: March 2023

Nowadays, serious games are present in almost every educational context. The current work deals with the design of serious games oriented towards getting transferable skills in different kinds of training settings. These games can be a valuable way of engaging citizens and workers in the learning process by means of metaphors or similar mechanisms close to their user experience. They also contain an encouragement factor to uptake generic job competencies. An approach is proposed to develop this type of game by mixing traditional design steps with an instructional strategy to provide structured learning bites in training settings. Several game prototypes have been developed to test this approach in the context of courses for public employees. The obtained outcomes reveal the wider possibilities of serious games as educational resources, as well as the use of game achievements to evaluate the acquisition of transferable skills.
Cross-disciplinary Participatory & Contextual Design Research: Creating a Teacher Dashboard Application
Authors: Abel Troy D. , Evans Michael
Published: March 2023

Concepts of Human Computer Interaction have crossed disciplinary boundaries allowing the discovery of underlying stakeholder affordances to emerge during the design research phase of system design. For the current scenario, middle school mathematics teachers as data-driven decision makers are inundated with diagnostic and assessment data, resulting in data deluge. The situation is unlikely to subside as digital technologies and media are broadly adopted for instruction and learning. Teachers could benefit from tools to quickly sift through this data to inform classroom instruction. Data should be visualized in a way that teachers can make real-time formative and summative assessments of student progress. The purpose of this article is to introduce a mixed-method mode of discovery to uncover affordances innate to classroom teachers during the design of an iPad data visualization application. These technology-assisted “dashboard” platforms could serve as efficient and effective interventions to deal with the copious amounts of data streams now available to teachers.
The Virtual Runner Learning Game

Published: March 2023

A learning game has been developed which allows learners to study and learn about the significance of three important variables in human physiology (lactate, glycogen, and hydration) and their influence on sports performance during running. The player can control the speed of the runner, and as a consequence the resulting physiological processes are simulated in real-time. The performance degradation of the runner due to these processes requires that different strategies for pacing the running speed are applied by the player, depending on the total length of the run. The game has been positively evaluated in a real learning context of academic physiology teaching.

Published: March 2023

The effects of modifying a 60/70 penetration grade bitumen with 3 wt% polyurethane (PU) and a Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additive, namely Rediset, were explored in this research. Penetration, softening point, viscosity, and ductility tests were employed for consistency testing, while the differential scanning calorimetry was used for thermal characterization. The topography and surface roughness of the modified bitumen were evaluated using atomic force microscopy. Adding PU and Rediset to the base bitumen (BB) stiffens the BB slightly, giving it a lower penetration and higher viscosity values, which improves the rutting resistance. The thermal transition of the glass temperature and melting temperature are similar to the BB. Furthermore, the addition of PU and Rediset to BB shows a clear bee structure topography in dry condition, indicating better dispersion, while in wet condition, the bee structure is mostly affected in the catana and para phase that reveals a reduced in the the wax content of the BB. The bitumen modified with PU and Rediset has a lower surface roughness than BB, making it less susceptible to moisture damage.
