Abstract:
ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the effects of Personal Computer on students' academic performance of the Grade 11 Senior High School students at MSU-Maguindanao. Specifically, this study identified the uses of Personal Computers as rated by the students in their studies, the academic performance of respondents with Personal Computer, the academic performance of respondents without Personal Computer, and the significant difference in academic performance of respondents with and without Personal Computer. Survey questionnaire was used as an instrument in gathering data. The questionnaire contains ten (10) related to the uses of computer in the students’ studies. The 10 questions are measured in terms of a 4- point scale such as: 1 for always, 2 for often, 3 for seldom and 4 for never. The statistical tools used in the analysis of data are the frequency count and the mean to describe the effects of personal computer on Senior High School students’ academic performance. The data gathered were consolidated and tabulated. The computations were done manually with the aid of scientific calculator. Findings show that the academic performance of the students with personal computer is generally higher than those without personal computer. Therefore, personal computer has effects in improving the students' academic performance. Keywords: Impact, Personal Computer, Students’ Academic Performance

Abstract:
The use of personal computers to aid in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of individual psychoeducational tests is growing. Currently computers are used to assist in managing assessment information, scoring and interpreting tests, and administering tests of cognitive abilities, academic skills, adaptive behaviors, and social skills. Although the content validity of assessment instruments developed for computer administration may have certain practical limitations, several useful advantages can be gained by using the computer to administer tests. Some of the advantages include improved levels of standardization in the procedures used during test administration, scoring, and interpretation; the collection of response data in real time; and the development and use of assessment models that were heretofore too complex for human presentation.

AbstractObjective:A computer virus outbreak was recognized, verified, defined, investigated, and controlled using an infection control approach. The pathogenesis and epidemiology of computer virus infection are reviewed.Design:Case-control study.Setting:Pharmacy of a tertiary care teaching institution.Results:On October 28, 1991, 2 personal computers in the drug information center manifested symptoms consistent with the “Jerusalem” virus infection. The same day, a departmental personal computer began playing ‘Yankee Doodle,” a sign of “Doodle” virus infection. An investigation of all departmental personal computers identified the “Stoned” virus in an additional personal computer. Controls were functioning virus-free personal computers within the department. Cases were associated with users who brought diskettes from outside the department (5/5 cases versus 5/13 controls, p = .04) and with College of Pharmacy student users (3/5 cases versus 0/13 controls, p = .012). The detection of a virus-infected diskette or personal computer was associated with the number of 5 1/4-inch diskettes in the files of personal computers, a surrogate for rate of media exchange (mean= 17.4 versus 152.5, p = .018, Wilcoxon rank sum test). After education of departmental personal computer users regarding appropriate computer hygiene and installation of virus protection software, no further spread of personal computer viruses occurred, although 2 additional Stoned-infected and 1 Jerusalem-infected diskettes were detected.Conclusions:We recommend that virus detection software be installed on personal computers where the interchange of diskettes among computers is necessary, that write-protect tabs be placed on all program master diskettes and data diskettes where data are being read and not written, that in the event of a computer virus outbreak, all available diskettes be quarantined and scanned by virus detection software, and to facilitate quarantine and scanning in an outbreak, that diskettes be stored in organized files.

Abstract:
Baby incubators are used for premature babies where babies are born prematurely. To ensure the accuracy of medical devices, periodic tests and controls need to be carried out aimed at reducing the risk of measurement. The baby incubator can be tested with a calibration device which is a device to calibrate temperature, noise, humidity, and airflow so that conditions remain stable and within normal limits. The purpose of this study was the development of a PC (Personal Computer) performing Incubator Analyzer with noise and airflow parameters. This type of research uses after only design. The standard incubator analyzer is not equipped with a PC and data processing via Excel, so the researchers created an Incubator Analyzer device that has four parameters to measure temperature, noise, humidity, and airflow. Using the Atmega328 Microcontroller as a data processor, equipped with sending data via Bluetooth HC-05 with data storage and output results will be displayed on a PC. Noise parameters using the Analog Sound Sensor V2 sensor and have the biggest error at 37oC setting temperature that is equal to 0.17%. While the airflow parameter uses an airflow sensor with type D6F-V3A01 and has the biggest error that is 0.5% at a temperature setting of 36oC and 37oC. The use of displays on personal computers and data processing using Excel, allows users to monitor calibration and data processing. The feasibility of this device is proven. Therefire, this design can be used for baby incubator calibration.

Abstract:
Computers have been widely used in the community, because computers can ease human work. To operate it, you need special knowledge about computers to be able to run it properly. Although computers make human work easier, computers can also be damaged or error. Only some people can repair computers like computer technicians. Therefore, on this occasion we had the opportunity to provide training on how to assemble computers and repair them. With expertise in assembling and repairing computers, the community can also open up jobs that would certainly have a positive impact on the surrounding community. Computer users / Personal Computers (PC) have been found in various circles, one of them is SMKN2 students. But many computer uses (PC) do not know how to repair a computer in case of damage, not to mention a few technicians or computer experts who can be easily found. Because of this, damage to the computer will be a difficult problem to deal with. Although there are very few technicians that we can find, repairing or servicing computers requires quite expensive costs. On this occasion, we intend to hold community service in the form of PC technician training (Personal Computer) for SMA/SMK students who aim to provide understanding and skills in making repairs, assembling, and upgrading PCs with community service programs in the form of this training. Besides this training is not limited to the provision of theory, but combined with practice so that not only knowledge is given, but the skills and creativity that are honed in this training. Outcomes of this training are skills training services and publications in national service journals.

Abstract:
Central monitor is a tool that monitors the patient's condition with several devices into one display on a personal computer (PC). Pulse Oxymetri serves to monitor the state of oxygen saturation in the patient's blood without going through blood gas analysis. This tool uses a wireless delivery system, HC-11 that can transmit data as far as 10 meters without obstruction. This tool uses a finger sensor, an analog signal conditioner and a microcontroller that is processed to produce a percentage value of SpO2 which is then sent through HC-11. The workings of this tool are very simple by entering the finger sensor on the finger and then it will be detected by the finger sensor that will be displayed on the PC. Digital data from the ADC Atmega is received by the personal computer (PC) via Bluetooth HC-011. Furthermore, the data is processed with the Delphi program and displayed on the monitor. Appears on the Delphi application. After measurement, get an error in the SpO2 parameter, the biggest error is 1.02% and get the smallest error 0.8%.

Abstract:
Background It is possible to see a number of spectrophotometers produced by commercial purposes developed in line with the technical advices identified by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in universities’ chemistry labs. These devices are employed in measuring and testing materials with unidentified characteristics as well as reporting the results. However, these systems are not modular in design and do not allow updates or modifications. Moreover, when the literature is reviewed, it can be seen that the researches on computer-controlled devices is limited. It is also reported that the devices with user interfaces bring advantages to researchers in terms of time efficiency and safety. Methods In this study, a computer-controlled, modular and low-cost spectrophotometer is designed to measure material densities contained within liquid samples. The proposed system is composed of a main unit, a data acquisition unit and a user interface. All tasks and relevant arrangements involved in a spectrophotometer application are controlled through an interface developed on LabVIEW graphical development platform; the results of the measurements can be monitored in real time, and it is also possible to store data. Thanks to the modular design, it became possible to change and update the relevant stage as needed. The waveform filter can be selected specifically as visible range, ultraviolet range or both depending on the application. Results The experiment was conducted in the visible range and a waveform filter between 400 and 700 nm was used. In the experiments, an easily accessible materials–methylene blue and copper sulfate solutions–were preferred as samples. For these solutions, the waveforms that give the best absorption values were identified and the density was measured at those values. Furthermore, the nonlinearity and repeatability characteristics of the proposed spectrophotometer were analyzed. For this purpose, measured values were compared with the acquired values from another commercial instrument that is already used in medical field. Measurements were repeated 50 times for copper sulfate and 43 times for methylene blue solutions. Conclusions After statistical analysis, it was observed that the reliability of the proposed system is high.

Abstract:
The two interactive software packages, which we called ASTRONOMIA 1 and ASTRONOMIA 2 (in the following Al and A2) and developed for a personal computer under MS-DOS, are primarily intended to be used in junior-high and high schools as tools for teaching astronomy. With the help of these programs and using the sky as a laboratory, the teacher can explain the most difficult parts of the astronomical geography: time and coordinates. Very few schools in Italy own the necessary educational tools such as a small planetarium, a sidereal clock, an oriented celestial sphere, etc.We tried to exploit the capability of a personal computer to visualize and to present the results of a calculation as diagrams and tables. A limited interaction permitted by the programs allows the user to compare the results with other computations.

This article concerns the history of the curb cut metaphor as applied to personal computer technology in the 1980s. Disability advocates used the metaphor to argue the necessity for accessibility features on computers to enable greater access. To accomplish this goal, these advocates utilized a complex comparison between personal computers and sidewalk ramps to combat assumptions about who the intended computer user was and to argue for how people with different abilities could operate the same technology.

Organizations expect their employees to connect securely to the organization's computer systems. Often these employees use their personal computers to access the organization's networks. This research explores whether these same employees apply protective security measures to their personal computers. Perhaps these employees behave riskily based on their optimistic bias. Results indicate that while cyber optimistic bias and perceived vulnerability influence individuals to apply more protective security measures, the users still experienced security incidents. Thus, organization are vulnerable to cyber-attacks if they are allowing employees to use personal computers to access these databases.

Abstract:
From a cautious start in the use of computers in the early 1970s, the Geological Survey of Greenland has developed complex and varied uses of modern computer facilities for both scientific and administrative tasks. GGU's first computer installation, a noisy TTY connected to the Computing Centre of Copenhagen University by a 110 baud telephone modem, was a selfservice facility which was not easy to use. Over the years, first with use of a PDP-10 with just one Tektronix 4014 graphic terminal and later a succession of increasingly powerful PDP-11s with many terminals, GGU's in-house facilities just kept ahead of the ever increasing demand for computer services. At the same time a number of programs for special tasks were developed on external facilities, because they required larger computers or special facilities. In the 1980s the demands on the computer facilitiesrequiring many different types of programs, including word processing, had grown so large that GGU's in-house system could no longer handle them satisfactorily. A major reorganisation was required, and consequently activities were divided between personal computers (PCs; mainly administrative) and a new central computer (mainly scientific). This development took place in late 1986 with the purchase of 17 new personal computers and a new central computer with accessory peripheral equipment. This has allowed an increasing integration of computer methods into GGU's activities. A brief summary is given below.

Abstract:
Drawing on in-depth interviews conducted with residents at an old-aged home in Cape Town, South Africa, this study examines the main uses and gratifications elderly people get from computers. While the research focus in Africa has been on the health of elderly people, particularly with respect to HIV/AIDS, there is little research into their adoption of new technologies, as the research focus with respect to that topic has been primarily on youth. This study found that the participants use email and social media to maintain contact with family and friends outside of, and sometimes even within the neighborhood. Furthermore, keeping in contact involved not only communication, but also observation of activities - like news, photographs and discussions. Using a uses and gratifications framework, this study found that participants felt connected with society both through their communication with and observation of people, and through keeping themselves informed about news and current interest topics. By using the Internet the elderly people communicated with more people than they had before. Some of the participants felt less isolated and lonely because of their computer use. Nevertheless, use of computers did not weaken their interpersonal contact outside of computer use. A partir de entrevistas en profundidad, realizadas en un hogar de la tercera edad en Ciudad del Cabo (Sudáfrica), este estudio analiza los principales usos y gratificaciones que reciben las personas mayores en interacción con los ordenadores. En África, mientras el énfasis investigador se ha puesto en los últimos años en la salud de los mayores, especialmente en cuanto al SIDA, existe muy poca investigación sobre el uso de los mayores en cuanto a nuevas tecnologías, ya que la investigación en relación con las mismas se ha centrado principalmente en la juventud. En este estudio se halló que los participantes utilizan el correo electrónico y las redes sociales para mantener el contacto con familiares y amigos y a veces incluso con su vecindario. Además, mantener el contacto suponía no solo comunicación, sino también observación de actividades, como noticias, fotografías y conversaciones. En el contexto de los usos y gratificaciones, el trabajo ha evidenciado que los participantes se sentían conectados con la sociedad, tanto por su comunicación como por la observación de las personas, y por mantenerse informados de las noticias y los temas de interés actuales. Mediante el uso de Internet, las personas de edad avanzada se comunicaban mucho más de lo que antes se habían comunicado con otras personas. Algunos de los participantes se sentían menos aislados y solos, debido a su uso del ordenador. Sin embargo, se demostró también que el uso de los ordenadores no obstaculizó los contactos interpersonales tradicionales.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore which personal and contextual factors affect the use of Wikipedia as a teaching resource in higher education institutions. Design/methodology/approach This research question is approached by investigating faculty perceptions and attitudes in two large Spanish universities. For this purpose, a comprehensive empirical study has been employed, based on an online survey to faculty members and the inclusion of a decision-making model in the analysis. Findings Data provide evidence that a combination of cultural, social and subjective factors influences the decision to use Wikipedia. This decision is not only associated with lecturers’ individual characteristics, but mostly with surrounding influences. Teaching uses are more frequent when academics have close reference models and when they perceive that Wikipedia is being positively valued by their colleagues. Research limitations/implications The present study provides a creative framework to analyze the main determining factors of Wikipedia usage by faculty. The inclusion of both internal and external factors in the decision process has proved to be a valuable novelty. Practical implications The study detects the main factors affecting the negative or reluctant attitude toward Wikipedia and provides some recommendations to overcome these barriers. Originality/value The study widens the scope of previous investigations supplying a new research framework and including, for the first time, a prominent online university in the analysis in order to discard the potential effects of digital and information illiteracy among students and faculty members.

This study evaluated the relationships between three personal characteristics on computer attitude and user satisfaction. The three personal characteristics tested were gender, computer experience, and overall academic performance. Survey results revealed that computer experience and gender make a significant difference in the computer attitude of the respondents. However, the three personal characteristics did not make a significant difference in academic computer system user satisfaction. Also found is a significant moderating effect of the three personal characteristics on the relationship between computer attitude and user satisfaction. Women, those with moderate computer experience, and those with low academic performance tend to show stronger relationships between computer attitude and computer user information system satisfaction than their counterparts.

Abstract:
Demonstration Project 89 on Quality Management was created to provide guidance on the use of practical and effective procedures to assure that the level of quality designed into the plans and specifications is actually achieved in the constructed product. One part of this effort is the distribution of a software package consisting of several interactive programs developed for use on the personal computer. These extremely user-friendly programs make it possible to analyze both pass/fail and pay adjustment acceptance procedures, construct operating characteristic curves, plot control charts, experiment with computer simulation, perform statistical comparisons of data sets, demonstrate the unreliability of decisions based on a single test result, and explore the effectiveness of stratified random sampling. This comprehensive software package provides highway engineers with the necessary tools to learn why some statistical procedures are inherently superior to others and how to incorporate this knowledge into fair and effective construction specifications.

AbstractMy objective is to create an intuitive computer for laypeople who want to go beyond ready-made apps and create programs to control their electronic environment. I submit Loke, a new kind of computer that is a universe of objects and nothing but objects. I call it an object computer. Loke is implemented in Squeak, a variant of Smalltalk, and is an extensible, conceptual model for execution, inspection, and exploration. It was first used to demonstrate how Ellen, a novice, programs a smart alarm clock through a GUI adapted to her competence, needs, and preferences. Informal demonstrations indicated that laypeople immediately grasp the idea of communicating objects that represent real things in their environment. They also wanted to use it for their own purposes. They were creative in identifying personal opportunities for Loke and in sketching out their implementations. Interestingly, expert programmers who attended the demonstration did not see the point of Loke. I have completed the programming of Loke qua conceptual model. The model underpins its potential security and privacy and sustains its object and message models. The Loke qua programming environment is still in its infancy, and its inherent security and privacy properties are still not realized in practice. A future Loke device will be accessible from anywhere and embedded in its own hardware to achieve them. The Loke IDE rests on Data–Context–Interaction (DCI), a new programming paradigm that leads to readable code with a clear architecture. I submit Loke for the pleasure of personal programming.

Abstract:
Abstract The histories of personal computing have been focusing lately on groups of users who saw computing as an exciting new field in activities apparently as different as hardware tinkering, coding or even playing video games. What do we know, however, about the users who did not share these interests and yet ended up using personal computers in their everyday contexts? Based on the study of the Center for the Popularization of Informatics—a Catalan institution that promoted computer technologies among diverse audiences, often unemployed and youth—this article shows how a new and heterogeneous user profile needed to be created: the “non-professional computer users.” With the increasing use of computers in the 1990s, most people employed computer technologies as a means to carry out regular duties and labor tasks performed, in most cases, even before computerization. In addition, the article suggests that computer technologies strengthened more than improved or reshaped the traditional labor processes and working conditions.

AbstractA computer program for ECG analysis and interpretation developed at the University of Porto, Portugal is presented. The program runs on a microcomputer and employs the three-lead Frank VCG. The signals are sampled at 250 Hz with 8-bit precision during 5.5 s. Details on signal conditioning and wave recognition and measurement techniques are given. The diagnostic part of the program uses decision-tree logic. The decision rules are mainly derived from the Washington Code. The diagnostic accuracy of four classes (normal, left and right ventricular hypertrophies and myocardial infarction), evaluated in a sample of 1,075 pediatric and adult patients and classified by ECG-independent means was 76%. The program is currently being evaluated on the CSE database.

Abstract:
The personal computer has become a standard research tool and is used in the research process from data collection to publication of results. The volume of computer software increases as personal computers proliferate. Most tasks are accomplished with off-the-shelf products available at any computer store. More specific needs are usually met with commercial software packages supplied by the company providing the research equipment or from a specialized software provider. However, there are specific research needs that are best fulfilled with a custom computer program. An interface between data collection and storage that is more comfortable to the user or a model developed with a narrow scope might be better served with software developed for that application. The development of software for the MARYBLYT fire blight system is presented.

Abstract:
Hadoop technology plays a vital role in improving the quality of healthcare by delivering right information to right people at right time and reduces its cost and time. Most properly health care functions like admission, discharge, and transfer patient data maintained in Computer based Patient Records (CPR), Personal Health Information (PHI), and Electronic Health Records (EHR). The use of medical Big Data is increasingly popular in health care services and clinical research. The biggest challenges in health care centers are the huge amount of data flows into the systems daily. Crunching this Big Data and de-identifying it in a traditional data mining tools had problems. Therefore to provide solution to the de-identifying personal health information, Map Reduce application uses jar files which contain a combination of MR code and PIG queries. This application also uses advanced mechanism of using UDF (User Data File) which is used to protect the health care dataset. De-identified personal health care system is using Map Reduce, Pig Queries which are needed to be executed on the health care dataset. The application input dataset that contains the information of patients and de-identifies their personal health care. De-identification using Hadoop is also suitable for social and demographic data.

Abstract:
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are now in use in many applications, ranging from GIS to route guidance, automatic vehicle location (AVL), air, land, and marine navigation, and many other transportation and geographical based applications. In many applications, the GPS receiver is connected to some form of intelligent electronic system which receives the positional data from the GPS unit and then performs the required operation. When developing and testing GPS-based systems, one of the problems is that it is usually necessary to create GPS-compatible geographical data to simulate a GPS operation in real time. This paper provides the details of a Personal Computer (PC)-based GPS simulator system called GPSIM. The system receives user way-points and routes from Windows-based screen forms and then simulates a GPS operation in real time by generating most of the commonly used GPS sentences. The user-specified waypoints are divided into a number of small segments, each segment specifying a small distance in the direction of the original waypoint. The GPS sentence corresponding to the geographical coordinates of each segment is then sent out of the PC serial port. The system described is an invaluable testing tool for GPS-based system developers and also for people training to learn to use GPS-based products.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE As the first step toward finding noninvasive alternatives to the traditional methods of surgical training, we have developed a small, stand-alone computer program that simulates insertion of pedicle screws in different spinal vertebrae (T10–L5). METHODS We used Delphi 5.0 and DirectX 7.0 extension for Microsoft Windows. This is a stand-alone and portable program. RESULTS The program can run on most personal computers. It provides the trainee with visual feedback during practice of the technique. At present, it uses predefined three-dimensional images of the vertebrae, but we are attempting to adapt the program to three-dimensional objects based on real computed tomographic scans of the patients. The program can be downloaded at no cost from the web site: www.tums.ac.ir/downloads CONCLUSION As a preliminary work, it requires further development, particularly toward better visual, auditory, and even proprioceptive feedback and use of the individual patient's data.

Abstract:
This article discusses that computer-based technologies have greatly influenced the way design engineers work. The first technological innovation was the use of high-powered personal computers. With PCs, engineers had access to high-speed applications of computer-aided design software right at their own desks. Personal computers took the place of rulers and pencils. The second innovation, he said, is the advancing capability of PCs to function as supercomputers, crunching numbers much faster than formerly possible. By taking advantage of this technology, engineers untrained in a mathematical application such as finite element analysis can run an FEA software program that performs calculations automatically and will shave weeks off the design process. Hothouse uses the Spatial technology to repair CAD models brought in from outside sources and to translate CAD files the company sends to its suppliers, collaborators, and clients. Before Hothouse began sending CAD files to the online service, company employees spent days repairing or rebuilding files on their own. Sometimes suppliers or clients that received Hothouse CAD files had to do similar work on their end.

Abstract:
For mobile computing system such as wearable computer, one of the most critical hardware issues is the provision of electric power. Various different sources of power for wearable computer have been investigated; however, we are interested only in power that can be generated in-situ, such as human power. This paper describes a novel mean of multiple source human power generation for small wearable electronic devices, and then demonstrates the digital information transfer between wearable computing devices by using human skin as "antenna". There are a wide range of peripheral devices in a mobile computing system, such as sensors and identification memory tags. As the amount of such devices increases in a mobile computing design, there is a need for these devices to communicate efficiently with the central processing unit. Also, it is highly desirable that these devices could be conveniently connected to the wearable computer without many dangling wires. We developed a personal area network (PAN) system which attempts to interconnect such devices, and at the same time uses human body as communication channel. This system is in a way novel because it is totally powered by human motion.

Nowadays, in this era of information technology personal computer is common usage in office and home purposes. Most of personal computer software applications use US-English for its user interface and not all countries use the computer instruction using the language of the country concerned. In general, the problems caused by conditions like this one is creates a semantic gap. Indonesian is also experiencing these problems which there are still many Indonesian people that cannot understand in computer English instructions. This gap may increase intensifies globalization. However, the semantic gap also creates end users market opportunity for Indonesian computer application with appropriate terminology. With proper terminology, making computer software applications will target of non-advanced users. This paper researches on the potentials of an Indonesian online bussines web browser. A mocked-up clone of Mozilla Firefox 18.1 was made for the purpose of collecting questionnaire result from respondents. The respondents were computer course students which meet the criterions of non-advanced users. The test that was done states that simple straightforward translations should be adequate for most cases, although a standardization of terminologies is still required.

Security certification is drawing more and more attention in recent years; the biometric technology is used in a variety of different areas of security certification. In this paper, we propose a palm image recognition method to identify an individual for vehicular application; it uses palm image as a key for detecting the car owner. We used mobile phone cameras to take palm images and performed a new identification approach by using feature regularization of palm contour. After identification is confirmed, the phone uses Bluetooth/WiFi to connect the car to unlock it. In our evaluation, the experiments show that our approach is effective and feasible.
