Ciudadanía activa y personas mayores. Contribuciones desde un modelo de educación expresiva
Authors: Montero García Inmaculada , García Mínguez Jesús , Bedmar Moreno Matías
Published: October 2019

En los últimos años, ha emergido en España una preocupación creciente por el análisis y estudio de las personas mayores desde distintos ámbitos y perspectivas. Se ha pasado de un planteamiento basado en necesidades y déficit (que consideraba a las personas mayores sujetos pasivos), a otro fundamentado en derechos y capacidades, rescatando la igualdad de trato y oportunidades en todos los aspectos de la vida. Las personas mayores se justifican como miembros de “pleno derecho” en la sociedad en términos de igualdad, inclusión, participación, contribución, dinamización… Lo que aquí planteamos es cómo alentar y ejercitar el sentido del desarrollo vital, de la ciudadanía activa en el caso de las personas mayores, en su vida cotidiana. A través de la implementación del modelo de educación expresiva que venimos a exponer, presuponemos una optimización de algunos aspectos concretos en el ámbito de las personas mayores, tales como: a) un cambio en las percepciones (de una percepción pasiva, negativa, individualista, a otra más participativa, positiva y colaborativa), respecto a sí mismo y a los demás; b) un re-descubrimiento personal (se parte de la experiencia personal para re-construir la propia vida); c) un encuentro y aceptación de distintas identidades culturales, sociales, políticas; d) una visibilización del intercambio socio-afectivo entre todos los participantes implicados; e) una aceptación de la necesidad de incrementar la propia implicación en el desempeño de funciones y responsabilidades en la sociedad de hoy; f) indicios de una mayor integración (compromiso y participación social) en la cultura del contexto próximo y, g) demanda de canales y modelos educativos que propicien una mayor conciencia y reflexión acerca de la relevancia de la participación, implicación y proyección social.

Procurou-se, com enquadramento teórico, caracterizar o conhecimento profissional do professor de Matemática, o seu desenvolvimento profissional, abordou-se o conceito de currículo e pretendeu-se, também, apresentar algumas perspectivas do desenvolvimento curricular, em particular sobre as actuais orientações curriculares em Portugal. Entendeu-se, ainda, pertinente proceder a uma análise do desempenho dos alunos portugueses em avaliações externas, como o programa PISA, provas de aferição e exames nacionais. O estudo seguiu uma metodologia de investigação enquadrada num paradigma interpretativo, seguindo um design de estudo de caso. Verificou-se que duas das professoras participantes conhecem bem o Currículo Nacional do Ensino Básico, sendo este um instrumento de orientação para a sua prática lectiva e, de modo geral, as suas práticas vão ao encontro das referidas orientações curriculares. Contudo, uma das professoras participantes revela algum afastamento das intenções do documento, continuando a sua prática lectiva a ser guiada pelas orientações curriculares anteriores.
¿Es la comunicación un factor de aprendizaje de las matemáticas?
Authors: Castillo Nava Mario
Published: October 2019

En éste pequeño ensayo me propongo investigar la comunicación entre el docente y sus alumnos en la clase de matemáticas, iniciando por preguntarme: ¿qué tan importante es en realidad, la comunicación fluida y eficaz entre el docente y sus alumnos en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las matemáticas? Es por ello que se busca contestar la siguiente pregunta: ¿es la comunicación eficaz, importante factor para el logro de la comprensión?, en donde se define lo que es la comunicación y su relación con la comprensión. Después, se buscan los posibles obstáculos para una “buena” comunicación, a través de dar respuesta a la siguiente pregunta: ¿cuáles son las barreras de la comunicación en el aula?, en donde exponemos algunas de las barreras que surgen en la comunicación entre los docentes y sus alumnos, proponiendo, a través de las teorías de Cantoral et-al. (2000), Morín (2000), Ibarra Mustelier (2006), Polya (2002) y Vigotsky (1982), cómo lograr una comunicación eficiente y eficaz en el aula. Sin embargo, en bien de la pluralidad, también es necesario responder a la siguiente pregunta: ¿es la comunicación elemento suficiente para la comprensión?

A vueltas de los enfoques en la escuela. ¿Puede la recreación sustituir el aprendizaje?
Authors: Díaz Suárez Arturo , Borrego Balsalobre Francisco José
Published: October 2019

En la actualidad se vienen manifestando rápidos y continuos cambios que repercuten directamente en la educación de las personas y sus conductas. Es importante realizar consideraciones sobre como incidir en las mismas, y como consecuencia, adaptar el sistema educativo a las necesidades de las personas y la sociedad. Este estudio pretende reflexionar sobre la recreación dentro de este continuo marco de reforma. Para ello hay que entender la recreación en toda su plenitud, no solo en su aspecto lúdico y como método para sustituir determinadas necesidades, sino como medio para favorecer la aparición de las conductas educativas deseadas y el bienestar del individuo. En esta línea se solapan educación física y recreación, al utilizarse la primera para la obtención de los objetivos y fines planteados en la segunda, pretendiendo conseguir un equilibrio en las dimensiones físicas, mentales, emocionales, espirituales y sociales del individuo.

Es por ello que en el proceso educacional de enseñanza-aprendizaje del individuo, la recreación no debe ser utilizada para sustituir al aprendizaje, ya que la recreación es una de las muchas formas o metodologías para conseguir determinados aprendizajes.
Implementation of the Omega (ω) Index to detect large-scale systematic cheating
Authors: Vista Alvin
Published: October 2019

Cheating detection is an important issue in standardized testing, especially in large-scale settings. Statistical approaches are often computationally intensive and require specialised software to conduct. We present a two-stage approach that quickly filters suspected groups using statistical testing on an IRT-based answer-copying index. We also present an approach to mitigate data contamination and improve the performance of the index. The computation of the index was implemented through a modified version of an open source R package, thus enabling wider access to the method. Using data from PIRLS 2011 (N=64,232) we conduct a simulation to demonstrate our approach. Type I error was well-controlled and no control group was falsely flagged for cheating, while 16 (combined n=12,569) of the 18 (combined n=14,149) simulated groups were detected. Implications for system-level cheating detection and further improvements of the approach were discussed.
METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE ANALYSIS OF BUDGETARY INSTITUTION LABOUR RESOURCES
Authors: Nashkerska Mariya
Published: October 2019

Introduction. Quality and timeliness of services, which are rendered by budgetary institutions, depend on the level of staff assistance, skills of employees that directly provide these services. The human resources of the institution with qualitative and quantitative characteristics have become the subject of the research.
Purpose. The article aims to find out the directions for the analysis of labour resources of budgetary institutions taking into account the special aspects of their activity.
Method (methodology). It has been suggested that the analysis of the budgetary institution labour resources should be carried out according to the following directions: analysis of staffing; analysis of fluctuation of personnel (employee turnover); analysis of qualitative characteristics; analysis of working environment; motivation and remuneration of labour; labour productivity of budgetary institution employees.
Analysis and evaluation of the budgetary institution labour resources should be carried out by applying the following types of analyses: structural and dynamic (methods of horizontal and vertical comparative analyses); parametric (calculation of coefficients and other relative ratios); factorial (by making use of elimination methods); heuristic (polling method, questionnaire survey, synectics, etc.).
Groups of indicators in compliance with which it is expedient to carry out the analysis (taking into consideration special aspects of the budgetary institution activity) have been defined within the framework of the suggested directions for the analysis.
In order to assess working efficiency an integral index, which should include a range of internal indicators of employee performance as well as evaluation of their work by service consumers, has been suggested.
Results. Budgetary institution management should systematically analyse the state of labour resources according to the specified directions. According to analysis report, the management should work on the ways of improving the quality of labour, methods of staff motivation, and the final outcome, which is the enhancement of performance efficiency of employees (regular labour force, administration, supporting personnel) and institution as a whole.
The procedure of analysis of such constituents as working time fund and assessment of institution employees’ performance efficiency requires further development.

The theme of the World War II held in the period of 1941-1945 never loses its relevance because the threat of armed violence and military aggression in present days is too great. Therefore, the historical experience should become the property of the younger generation, so it does not repeat the mistakes of the past. Without speaking against the pluralism of scientific approaches and assessments in the study of the past in general, it is impossible to agree with the bias in the description of historical processes that take place today in Russian history. With the coming to power of the new political forces, many historical events concerning the past of the country are rethought, there is a rewriting of historical facts in favor of politicians, to justify their actions.

Diabetes mellitus has been a very complex and chronic lifelong disease. Hence, it has been identified as a clinically highly significant disease which further attracted the healthcare industry to define most relevant clinical directories and also to apply efficient automated pre-diagnoses and further care. Rule-based classifier technique has proven its strength in diabetes diagnosis when used the computational methods. There has been a considerable development in the classifier’s performance, to classify the disease, in the past decades by which they were highly recommended. In this paper, a classifier is proposed based on minimum rules which further uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA). To apply these techniques Pima Indians diabetes dataset is used from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. Set of experiments were conducted on the data set with PCA to evaluate the performance among the decision tree, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine.

Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problem is one of the classical reinforcements learning problems that describe the friction between the agent’s exploration and exploitation. This study explores metaheuristics as optimization strategies to support Epsilon greedy in achieving an improved reward maximization strategy in MAB. In view of this, Annealing Epsilon greedy is adapted and PSO Epsilon greedy strategy is newly introduced. These two metaheuristics-based MAB strategies are implemented with input parameters, such as number of slot machines, number of iterations, and epsilon values, to investigate the maximized rewards under different conditions. This study found that rewards maximized increase as the number of iterations increase, except in PSO Epsilon Greedy where there is a non-linear behavior. Our Annealing-Epsilon greedy strategy performed better than Epsilon Greedy when the number of slot machines is 10, but Epsilon greedy did better when the number of slot machines is 5. At the optimal value of Epsilon, which we found at 0.06, Annealing Epsilon greedy performed better than Epsilon greedy when the number of iterations is 1000. But at number of iterations ≥ 1000, Epsilon greedy performed better than Annealing Epsilon greedy. A stable reward maximization values are observed for Epsilon greedy strategy within Epsilon values 0.02 and 0.1, and a drastic decline at epsilon > 0.1.

Importance of higher education and research is becoming more prominent and admission for PhD is increasing year by year in India. Most of the time Research done as part of PhD ends with the submission and acceptance of thesis in Universities. This research future work or extension work might be picked by other PhD candidate in the same or from the different Universities but not sure when it will happen. Also not sure the research completed has achieved its end objective and University is fine to stop that research after spending so much of time and resources of University. This paper insists on continuous research with PhD candidates every year in Universities until the completion of research and scope for reducing the waste of resources and time. This paper considers the importance and effectiveness of Indexing parameters, Indexing agencies, review methods, Journals and relevant concepts. Considering the usefulness and facts of the same to research community building a standard process with procedures to control quality, performance and original research in place, I have built a Research Asset Creation (RAC) model for universities offering PhDs in India by making use of University level Indexing, Indexing parameters, Inter and Intra University peer review methods and University Journal as magazine and as well as Indexing agency. Research cannot be considered just for the award of degree. There is a need for making use of research, resources of University and time spent on research till the objective of the research is accomplished. This can be accomplished by adopting Research Asset Creation model. Complete details of the model, components of the model, implementation, its benefits and usage is discussed in this paper. This is a generalized Model and fit for all Countries which are looking for effective use of research and resources in a progressive manner.

This paper represents the unique system model for cognitive radio based on the energy spotting method to enhance the performance of the accuracy by managing the queue regarding energy-samples and also estimating their average in order to characterize the decision-threshold. Consequently, these typical values summed and estimated over the sum of the samples are repeatedly correlated and analyzed with the recent energy values to determine whether the frequency band is vacant or occupied most accurately. The energy spotting technique’s performance is analyzed and estimated analytically for distinct decision-thresholds. Conventionally Such evaluations interprets that; the advances made to energy spotting algorithm which have enhanced the sensing accuracy in spectrum under the differing signal-to-noise ratio values. Consequently, we shown the utilities and advantages of proposed model that increases the cognitive radio ability. The performance has measured by utilizing the AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel and receiver operating-characteristics curves varying under various SNR values alike as: -20 dB, -15 dB, -5 dB, 0 dB, 5db and 10db. With small-tradeoffs among the detection and false-alarm probabilities, the model increases and enhances the ability of spectrum sensing mechanism greatly in the lower SNR situations while tested with number of samples. By that, improving the conventional performance by increasing the sensing accuracy of cognitive radio networks under the low SNR have been the promising achievement of this research work.

The proposed system is a ledger of student qualifications that aims at making recruitment processes simpler for the universities, recruiters as well as the students. Instead of continuing with the traditional way, of background checks that take even days worth of time and cost a lot of money, we have proposed an instant student background verification service that allows verification of data by recruiters, that has been signed by the university and uploaded to an immutable, secure ledger called the blockchain or as we call it, the Alumnichain. The students simply have to include a code provided to them, to their CVs which can be scanned by the recruiters, to have all student data instantly verified. The data stored on the network is not in plaintext and is encrypted to ensure security against potential data thefts. All this is achieved through a blockchain implementation of the above described use case, which has proved to be a solution to so many problems since its inception, starting with Bitcoin in 2008.

Aerobic granular sludge can be used to treat various types of wastewater, such as industrial, municipal and domestic wastewater. This study investigated the treatment of low-strength domestic wastewater while simultaneously developed aerobic granular sludge in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Activated sludge was used as the seeding for granulation. The results indicated good COD and ammoniacal nitrogen removal at 72% and 73%, respectively. Aerobic granular sludge was successfully developed with low sludge volume index (SVI30) of 29 mL/g, which demonstrated an excellent settling property of aerobic granular sludge. Biomass concentration increased significantly compared to the seed sludge, indicating high biomass density in the SBR system. Settling velocity of aerobic granular sludge was significantly higher compared to the conventional activated sludge. This study showed the feasibility of aerobic granular sludge to be developed using low-strength domestic wastewater. Moreover, this study demonstrated the long-term application of aerobic granular sludge in domestic wastewater treatment.

Frauds in Financial Payment Services are the most prevalent form of cybercrime. The increased growth in e-commerce and mobile payments in recent years is behind the rising incidence of fraud in financial payment services. According to "McKinsey, fraud losses throughout the world could be close to $44 billion by 2025." Every year, fraudulent card transactions causes billions of US Dollar of loss. To reduce these losses, designing effective fraud detection algorithms is essential, which depend on sophisticated machine learning methods to help investigators in fraud. For banks and financial institutions, therefore, fraud detection systems have gained excellent significance. Though the fake transactions are very low when compared to genuine transaction, care must be taken to predict it so that the financial institutions can maintain the customer integrity. As fraud is unlikely to occur compared to normal operations, we have the class imbalance problem. We applied Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) and the Ensemble of sampling methods(Balanced Random Forest Classifier, Balanced Bagging Classifier, Easy Ensemble Classifier, RUS Boost) to Ensemble machine learning algorithms Performance assessment using sensitivity, specificity, precision, ROC area. The purpose of this article is to analyze different predictive models to see how precise they are to detect whether a transaction is a standard payment or a fraud. Instead of misclassifying a real transaction as fraud, this model seeks to improve detection of fraud. We noted that the technique of Ensemble learning using Maximum voting detects the fraud better than other classifiers. Decision Tree Classifier, Logistic Regression, Balanced Bagging classifier is combined and the proposed algorithm is OptimizedEnsembleFD Algorithm. The sample size is increased and deep learning is applied .It is found that the proposed system Smote Regularised Deep Autoencoders (SRD Autoencoders) neural network performs better with good recall and accuracy for this large dataset.

In the era of digital world, technological convergence through ICT has been receiving a significant attention. The ubiquitous connectivity provided through convergence has the potential to transform the society and establish an ecosystem to serve new dimensions to the economy of the country. Thereby, this study has attempted to identify the phenomenon of convergence on three level – upstream, midstream and downstream. Upstream level focuses on issues dealing with the synthesis of technology including R&D, FDI and Standards. Midstream level focuses on the growth of various sectors with the help of convergence including education, health, governance and employment. The downstream level focuses on the diffusion of technology in the society and includes factors like – diffusion, penetration and user friendly. The framework of Vision 2020 laid down by Planning Commission (Niti Aayog) has been adopted to choose the parameters and foresight exercise has been conducted. The opinions of experts have been taken to conduct the foresight analysis. With the help of LIPSOR scenario planning tools – Micmac, Mactor, Multipol and Smic-Prob, this paper has attempted to forecast the scenarios for the adoption of ICT in India. Following the variable analysis through Micmac and actor analysis through Mactor, this paper has attempted to generate the entire field of possibilities in terms of hypothesis and construct various scenarios through Multipol. And lastly, final scenarios were selected using the Smic-Prob by assigning the probability to all the scenarios (including the conditional probability).

A word having multiple senses in a text introduces the lexical semantic task to find out which particular sense is appropriate for the given context. One such task is word sense disambiguation which refers to the identification of the most appropriate meaning of the polysemous word in a given context using computational algorithms. The language processing research in Hindi, the official language of India, and other Indian languages is constrained by non-availability of the standard corpora. For Hindi word sense disambiguation also, the large corpus is not available. In this work, we prepared the text containing new senses of certain words leading to the enrichment of the available sense-tagged Hindi corpus of sixty polysemous words. Furthermore, we analyzed two novel lexical associations for Hindi word sense disambiguation based on the contextual features of the polysemous word. The evaluation of these methods is carried out over learning algorithms and favourable results are achieved.

The Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are networks with unpredictable topology. The number of paths existing between a pair of nodes may change with time. Thus, discovered routes are not permanent in nature and are subject to change with movement of nodes. The constraints like limited energy life of nodes also influence the availability of paths. The flows of traffic or data load also influence the performance of network. Thus, load needs to be distributed among various possible paths. This can prevent overutilization of resources. Thus, a proper management of available resources is necessary for routing data packets efficiently in MANETs. In this paper, a Roulette wheel based load balancing approach has been presented. Further this approach has been applied to Ant colony based Energy Efficient Multipath Routing (ACBEEMR). The combined approach has been named as ACBEEMR-LB. The performance of ACBEEMR-LB has been evaluated and analyzed using the NS2 simulator. The results corresponding to the load balanced approach has been compared to the results of simple ACBEEMR and protocols like AOMDV.

The paper reveals one of the key problems of the modern artistic pedagogy, which lies in the application of the potential of creative fantasy and imagination of students in the pedagogical process. It considers the various preconditions for the development of the ability to fantasize, depending on the individual capabilities of students. Reliance on initially individual systems of perception of artistic information with the subsequent development of this perception to the level of creation of full-fledged artistic images and interpretations is proposed as a leading pedagogical strategy. The interrelation between the organized social and aesthetic experience of students and possibilities of creative fantasy and imagination is established. In this process, the role of educational creative teams as a space of social, artistic and aesthetic development of students is highlighted.

Soil stabilization is the process which involves enhancing the physical properties of the soil in order to improve its strength, durability etc. by blending or mixing with additives. The different types of method used for soil stabilization are: Soil stabilization with cement, Soil stabilization with lime, Soil stabilization using bitumen, Chemical stabilization and a new emerging technology of stabilization by Geo textiles and Geo synthetic fibres. In this study, we are making use of Jute and Coir fibre as geo synthetic material for stabilization of soil. With the introduction of Jute and Coir fibres to the soil the CBR values will improve and thickness of pavement layer also gets reduced. It also reduces the intensity of stress on subgrade. Jute and Coir fibres are such a geo synthetic material which is easily available, eco friendly and also cost-effective. With the application of soil stabilization method in construction the overall cost gets reduced when compared to the ordinary method of construction. To determine the Liquid limit using Casagrande Method, Plastic limit by rolling the sample to 3mm diameter thread, Optimum Moisture Content and Maximum Dry Density using Standard Proctor Test, Unconfined compression test and also California Bearing Ratio by conducting CBR test.

Now a days, monitoring of various health parameters of patient at hospitals has become a widespread phenomenon. People are losing their lives in unanticipated way with heart attack by not finding symptoms of it before happening. We can decrease such unanticipated death rates by implementing the project named Patient Health Monitoring System. In this project we will design a system which monitors the patient health parameters like body temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure and so on by using Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is where data collection is done through various devices like sensors and data will be stored in Cloud where we can extract and analyze the data faster with efficiency by making interaction among them. The proposed technique screens the essential health parameters and transmits the information through a wireless communication which is additionally moved to a network by means of a wifi module. The information can be obtained anytime advancing the reception of the present status of the patient. The doctors, just as the caretaker are intimated quickly through a message service or an audio signaling device at the time of abrupt conditions or any sick indications. Moreover, complexity level, power consumption of our design System is low and is highly portable for healthcare monitoring of patients.

Offline handwritten character recognition system has been a challenge for Indian scripts, especially for South Indian languages. Huge number of characters of local languages including alphabets, consonants and composite characters make the recognition system more complicated. A good recognition system for subset of Tamil script, a famous South Indian script, is proposed in this work. Variable length feature vector is extracted from the thinned character image. This extracted feature is given to a novel simple classification algorithm which works based on probability. A subset of Tamil script, 20 character classes, is considered for experiment. The samples were taken from HP Labs dataset for Tamil language and a recognition accuracy of 88.15% has been produced.

In this aggressive global the manufactures need to deliver their product in a shorter term. To fulfill the customers, the manufacture must reduce the unnecessary process time and the errors. In this paper, the clutch operating lever production line in an automobile industry was analysed. The bottleneck operation was found in a fixture design and during the inspection process. A new fixture and an inspection gauge are designed to reduce the setup and inspection time the clutch production. The overall loading and set up change over time is reduced by the newly designed fixture which reduces the end-line defects and saves time and effort. The productivity is highly increased by 55% by the newly designed fixture and the inspection rate is boosted by 80% and the rejection rate is reduced by 83% which is proven by the comparison to older methods.
