Regression and Ensemble Models for Analyzing Students Key Performance Factors
Authors: Daware Pranav
Published: November 2024

Predicting student performance can help identify when students need extra support and tailor interventions to improve
outcomes. In this study, we use machine learning to explore the factors influencing student success and build the models that
can predict. We apply several algorithms , including Linear Regression , “Random Forest Regression” , “ Gradient Boosting
Regression”, “ Support Vector Regression”, “ K-Nearest Neighbors Regression” , each chosen for their ability to capture
different patterns in data , whether linear or complex . The models are trained on factors such as attendance, socioeconomic
status, parental education , and academic history to understand how these impact student achievement and learning . Our
findings show that ensemble techniques like Gradient Boosting and Random Forest tend to provide more accurate predictions
than traditional regression models. By comparing these models, we aim to offer insights into how machine learning can help
predict and support student performance, helping educators make more informed decisions about learning. This also helps
personalized decision-making to support learners effectively.
A Comprehensive Review of Opportunities of Nanomaterials in Stabilization and Construction Industry
Authors: P Sreechithra
Published: November 2024

Nanomaterials can be defined as materials possessing, at minimum, one external dimension measuring 1-100nm.
Nanomaterials can occur naturally, be created as the by-products of combustion reactions, or be produced purposefully through
engineering to perform a specialized function. These materials can have different physical and chemical properties to their bulkform counterparts. Considering these particle sizes, a new approach is proposed to use the nanoparticles in the geotechnical
engineering to understand the nature of soil as nanoparticles will interact with soil particles more efficiently due to the
advantage of their size i.e. 1nm to 100nm. As the new construction sites has been significantly increased in the area of poorquality ground several new approaches of stabilizing the soil underneath are introduced and one of these techniques are using
the nanoparticles to improve the index properties of soil as well as strength of soil so that desired stability can be achieved.
Different types of nanomaterials which can be used for the purpose of stabilization of soil are SiO¬2, TiO2, Al2O3. This paper
also addresses the use of nanomaterials in housing construction, comparing their influence at the technical-structural level.
Materials such as titanium dioxide, carbon nanotubes, nano silica, nanocellulose, nano alumina, and nano clays were analyzed.
It was obtained that these nanomaterials can improve the structural, thermal, and functional properties of construction
materials. In addition, they are related to increased durability, increased mechanical strength (>20 %), reduced thermal
conductivity, and self-cleaning capability. Therefore, the use of nanomaterials promises to improve the sustainability and
efficiency of housing construction

Published: November 2024

Due to popularity of cloud computing approach, excessive cloud user can send their request to cloud server for accessing their requirements. Servers are handling these incoming requests and allocate required resources to fulfill user demands.  But in real scenario the numbers of servers are limited. Therefore, some servers are heavily loaded and some servers are in idle mode. This can result in a major fault tolerance issue that reduces system performance. To overcome this issue, this study presented an effective scheduling mechanism known as Modified Deep Q-Network (M-DQN). In this process the data centre controller performs appropriate actions on the environment in order to select a suitable virtual machine (VM) capable of optimizing different load balancing parameters. To get the desired outcome, a simulation is run using Google Colab with the TensorFlow environment, demonstrating the usefulness of the proposed scheduling technique. The experiment revealed that our suggested approach has a higher reward rate, reduces makespan but increases resource utilization and throughput when compared to the existing DQN algorithm. Simulation findings demonstrate that the M-DQN method works better in decreasing around 16% execution time and 10% makespan time, while it increases 8% resource utilization and 4% throughput value. Overall, it increases 18% reward value as compare with I-DQN and DQN algorithm.

Published: November 2024

We examined the literature on public value in the context of open government to identify gaps and propose a research agenda. We adopted the review protocol proposed by Cronin, Ryan, & Coughlan (2008), which consists of five sequential steps. Two criteria were established to determine the studies included in the sample. The selection and access to the literature were carried out in two international databases, without establishing a time limit for the sample. The verification was carried out with the support of Mendeley software and the data were entered into an electronic spreadsheet so that they could be tabulated. After searching the databases, 16 studies were selected, analyzed and classified into four different categories. The results show a trend of research involving non-governmental entities in the context of member countries of the Open Government Partnership (OGP). This study has some limitations: the choice of search descriptors that may not have included all the studies that address the topic; and the interpretative bias of the authors of this study. The literature on public value in the context of open government was identified and reviewed, culminating in the proposal of a research agenda, with some avenues not yet explored by previous studies involving the topic.

The study evaluated the safety and performance of a new Clot Retrieval Device in a porcine model using three female swine. These swine were fasted overnight without water and kept NPO (nil per os) for six hours post-recovery. They received Aspirin and Clopidogrel for three days before the procedure, continuing with a reduced dose of aspirin post-implantation until sacrifice. Physical examination ensured that the swine met study criteria, followed by anesthesia and monitoring with Ketamine, Xylazine, Propofol, and inhalation anesthesia. Areas for femoral vein access and ECG lead application were shaved, and Atropine was given to control respiratory discharges. On the first day, two swine (P1 and P2) had clots implanted and retrieved using the Clot Retrieval Device. The third pig (P3) also had clots implanted, with retrieval on the procedural day and extended monitoring to day 30. Two types of clots (autologous and synthetic) were placed in each pig and retrieved under heparinization, with angiography and measurements conducted before and after implantation. Histopathological evaluations were done on harvested veins: P1 and P2 on day 0 and P3 on Day 30. The autologous clot was successfully retrieved in all cases, while the synthetic clot remained but did not cause clinical signs. Results demonstrated that the clot retrieval device effectively and safely retrieved autologous clots without injuring targeted arteries, and no clot-related lesions were found in the internal carotid arteries. Swine were monitored for health parameters such as body weight, morbidity, and mortality, with no significant changes or adverse effects observed. Pathological examinations included clinical pathology, necropsy, and histopathology. The study concluded that the clot retrieval device was effective and safe for retrieving autologous clots in a porcine model, suggesting its potential safe use in clinical settings.

Authors: Adam Prananda Putra , Suryantini  , Kurniawan Idham Andri
Published: November 2024

The Vientiane Province is located in the northern region of Laos and is primarily characterized by a karst environment. This area holds significant potential for geotourism, much of which remains largely unexplored. The blend of natural and cultural attractions makes this region appealing for visitors. Situated in the subduction zone between the Sibumasu and Indochina plates, this area gave rise to the Loei-Phetchabun volcanic belt during the Late Permian to Early Triassic periods. The interaction of these tectonic plates has resulted in a diverse array of rock types, minerals, and unique landforms. Such geological diversity is found in only a few places worldwide, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts, including the designation of this region as a geosite for ecotourism. The aim of this research is to examine the potential of karst landscapes for geotourism. Three selected geosites in the region Muang Met, Kasy, and Vang Vieng districts each have distinct characteristics that highlight different geological features, including karst environments, fault zones, spectacular rock outcrops, fossils, caves, temples, rivers, and cultural centers. We have developed guidelines for geotourism development in this area. As this geotourism study is preliminary, it is currently limited to a few locations, with other potential geotourism sites yet to be explored. To facilitate visitor access, we have created a travel route map and designated stop sites. An overview of each district, including potential challenges to geosite development, is provided in the discussion. Sustainable geotourism development in Vientiane Province is expected to have a positive impact on the local community's social and economic well-being. We hope this paper opens up new opportunities for ecotourism in Laos, potentially paving the way for the region to be recognized as a national geopark.

Abstract â€” Pada kolam pembibitan ikan, pengamatan kualitas air harus terus dilakukan secara berkala karena kondisi pembibitan ikan merupakan masa rawan kematian yang diakibatkan oleh perubahan kondisi lingkungan pembibitan, parameter yang paling berpengaruh dalam kelangsungan hidup ikan yaitu kondisi keasaman air (Ph), kekeruhan air (Turbidiy), oksigen terlarut dalam air (DO) dan suhu air. Parameter tersebut harus selalu dimonitor dan dikontrol untuk mencapai kestabilan lingkungan pembibitan sesuai yang diharapkan. Telah dibuat sistem monitoring dan kontrol terhadap parameter yang berpengaruh pada pembibitan ikan menggunakan sistem fuzzy inferensi. Pengukuran parameter lingkungan dilakukan menggunakan sensor kemudian nilai parameter tersebut disesuaikan dengan nilai fuzzifikasi yang telah dibuat hingga menghasilkan nilai defuzzifikasi, output dari defuzzyfikasi akan melakukan kontrol terhadap parameter tersebut untuk mencapai nilai kestabilan lingkungan air. Pengontrolan Ph dan kekeruhan air dilakukan dengan mengganti air hingga mencapai tinggkat ph dan kejernian air yang sesuai kondisi yang diharapkan, jumlah buangan air dapat dihitung menggunakan teorema fluida. Perhitungan fuzzy dan Pengembangan antarmuka monitoring dan kontrol dibangun menggunakan program berbasis grafik LabView.

Tanaman Jarak Pagar merupakan tanaman multi fungsi yang memiliki banyak kegunaan di kehidupan sehari-hari, baik itu untuk pengobatan, kecantikan hingga pengganti bahan bakar biodiesel. Penyakit yang menyerang tanaman jarak pagar dapat menurunkan kualitas yang dihasilkan jarak pagar. Minimnya pengetahuan petani dan sedikitnya jumlah pakar yang memahami tentang jarak pagar menjadi masalah yang harus diselesaikan. Pengguanaan sistem pakar menjadi solusi yang bisa ditawarkan. AdaBoost Classifier pada sistem pakar dapat digunakan sebagai mengklasifikasikan penyakit tanaman jarak pagar. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini yaitu didapat akurasi rata-rata sebesar 50% dan maksimal terbaik sebesar 53,01% pada jumlah fold sebanyak 2. Hasil pada penelitian ini lebih baik dibanding penelitian sebelumnya, tetapi tidak bisa memberikan hasil yang maksimal. Jumlah data tiap kelas menjadi perrmalasahan mengapa hasil pada AdaBoost kurang maksimal dan harus diselesaikan pada penelitian selanjutnya.

The LQ45 stock index is a stock exchange that is in great demand by investors in Indonesia. Therefore, the movement of the stock price is needed by investors to see the investment business prospects. However, stock price movements in a certain period are very volatile. In this case, investors need a monitoring system to assist their investment decisions. One of the most popular analyzes of stock price movements is technical analysis. In this study, the system is a website that can be accessed by the public. It provides technical analysis indicators of Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Candlestick charts. The system uses the AnyChart JS component as a modern JavaScript library chart. The waterfall method is used to assist develop this system. The system consists of two sources API, namely Rakuten Rapid (APIdojo.net) and finnhub.io with a query provider that can connect the Yahoo Finance API. The results of stock recommendations in this system come from determining the largest value for several recommendations generated by the finnhub.io based on basic technical and aggregate analysis (MACD, RSI, and Moving Average). Thus, this recommendation is only a suggestion and cannot be used as an absolute reference.

The history of a nation or a region is stored in written historical documents using paper, walls, stone, metal, and other media. Efforts to maintain cultural heritage, including these documents, are still being carried out. One of the efforts is to save it in digital form or photos, but it is possible for the obtained images become noisy images. Many factors caused an image to have noise including outdated documents, image results that are influenced by camera lenses, lighting that is not ideal, ect. Noise can affect the information in the image, it is needed to made improvements so that the quality image results can be used for other purposes, both as digital documents and further research such as written recognition. In this research, the Convolutional Autoencoder approach is used to study noise from training data and reconstruct the image into a noise-free image. The noise used in this study will be created using the Gaussian, Salt & Pepper, and Spackle methods on the image of the Lampung script. The hyperparameters on the Convolution Encoder that were tested produced good performance for the model used by achieving low loss of 0.1453 and vall_loss of 0.1504 and also could reduce noise contained in images with various noise types and intensities.

Background: The idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS), also known as Clarkson disease, is an extremely infrequent and commonly misdiagnosed disease. This rare disorder is characterized by paroxysmal capillary hyperpermeability with diffuse severe oedema and hypovolemia, along with hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia.
Case Summary: A 60-year-old Moroccan man was admitted to our hospital, presenting with a severe hypovolemic shock associated with diffuse ede- matous syndrome following an emotional shock. Laboratory tests showed hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, and a monoclonal gammopathy in the electrophoresis of proteins, while all other laboratory tests were normal. During hospitalization, the patient was conditioned and monitored with careful volume expansion using synthetic colloids and an ascites puncture was performed. After excluding other pathologies, the clinical presenta- tion was consistent with the diagnosis of ISCLS. Recurrent episodes were reported before the patient’s death.
Conclusion: The idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome is a potentially life threatening disease with a high mortality. The pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear despite all previous attempts at clarification. Knowledge of the limited treatment options is crucial for patients’ prognosis and overall survival. This report aims to raise awareness of ISCLS.
