Abstract:
Project-based learning (PBL) is a method to promote engaged learning that enables students to employ their creative and critical thinking abilities often resulting in meaningful learning experiences (Wurdinger, 2018). A PBL assignment was created for a sport-focused technology and innovation class in which the students created their own augmented reality (AR) activation. AR can be a powerful tool for PBL assignments, allowing students to create interactive and immersive experiences that bring their ideas to life (Jailungka, 2020). This assignment utilized Meta Spark Studio, a free platform for creating AR effects, that provides an accessible and user-friendly way for students to experiment with AR technology and develop their technical skills. However, the implementation of PBL can present challenges for both educators and students, particularly when it comes to technology and innovation (Freshwater, 2009). Many students may struggle with the technical skills needed to complete a technology focused PBL assignment, or they may face barriers to accessing the necessary technology. To address these challenges, educators can utilize mind mapping techniques to help students break down complex tasks, visualize progress, and identify their goals (Hollland et al., 2003). Mind mapping can also help students recognize areas where they may need additional support or resources prior to undertaking the tasks involved. Engaged learning through PBL and AR can be an effective way to help students develop real-world skills and apply their knowledge. Mind mapping and PBL can lead to increased student motivation, increased innovation, and increased knowledge retention.

The study seeks to explore existing literature on how MNCs are dealing with dual career couples for international assignees to accept international assignment and what these MNCs have not been able to provide so that contribution can be made to the existing literature. The study was exploratory research where the contributions of various authors were assessed to determine if dual career couples pose a threat for international assignees to accept international assignment. The exploration reveals that MNCs need to deal with issues associated with dual career couples since it contribute significantly to the rejection of international assignments. There are various strategies MNCs adopt in order to entice the international assignee’s spouse to give his or her blessing to the international assignment and mainly among them captured in the literature are providing a lump sum payment for the trailing spouse, inter-firm networking, assisting the trailing spouse to find job in the host country, engaging in reciprocal arrangement with other MNCs to find job for the trailing spouse in the host country and providing career support in order to make the trailing spouse skills, knowledge and abilities relevant to the host country job market. The study identified two strategies that could be used to deal with dual career couples which were not captured in the literature and these are the active involvement of the expatriate spouses in the recruitment and selection process and the use of virtual assignments by relying on the availability of technology for international assignments.

Abstract : In this cyber-driven world, assignments are submitted by higher education students by using pen, paper and pencil. With the outbreak COVID-19, the smart phones, tablets and computers/laptops play a vital role in educating the school students as well as higher education students. Despite the fact that the current generation students' skill development is through additional education modes like assignments, formative assessment, and model-based assignments and so on, the teaching and learning process remains old. Very few educators are using smart education tools to collect feedbacks, to assess student's knowledge using open CV's like Padlet, Plickers, Moodle and Google classroom. The introduction of online assignment submission enriches the student's skills, knowledge and content development skills. In this paper, the student's activities for submission of assignment and subject content clarification are performed using Google classroom as an interactive tool. The introduction of online assignment submission creates measurable difference in student's performance over traditional assignment submission.Although the student's performance, student characteristics and study behavior are explained using case study on Mechatronics system Design course and its impact on the students for further improvement in education system.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new standard of assignment rubrics to minimize various interpretations and confusing expectations of the assignment outcome among all stakeholders and enhance the assignment rubrics to function not only as a grading tool but also as an assignment guiding tool for self-managed learning among open and distance learning (ODL) learners. Design/methodology/approach The paper looks into the problems and issues related to assignment rubrics such as various interpretation, confusing expectations and the need to have appropriate descriptions in the rubrics in order to reflect proper learning outcome among the assignment stakeholders. To solve these issues, the paper explores the new and improved requirements which were imposed to support the new assignment rubrics for courses in the university via a self-guided manual known as Rubrics Formulation Guide. Findings Based on the feedback received from university’s lecturers, who also functioned as moderators, it was indicated that the time taken to moderate the assignment rubrics had drastically reduced and in terms of grading, the clarity of the assignment performance expectations among the learners showed improvement, whereby as compared to the previous semester, there was significant drop for the application of remarking of assignments among May 2014 semester learners. Practical implications The paper includes implications of developing innovative rubrics that enhance common understanding and consistent expectation of what the final outcome of the assignment should be. Originality/value This paper fulfills the purpose of expanding the potential of assignment rubrics which is to guide and grade.

Abstract:
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield becomes more and more important every day. Parallel to this growing demand, there is a need for robust algorithms to solve the mission assignment problem in an optimum way. There are several tools for solving the assignment problem and testing the results to evaluate the robustness of the proposed algorithm. For most of the models, input factors are limited to the most important ones to make the process simpler. The aim of this thesis is to create an optimal solution for the assignment problem and test its robustness with a stochastic simulation tool. To accomplish the goals more factors, such as ground abort rates of the UAVs and the area weather risk levels are added. These factors, which were typically excluded from previous studies, are incorporated to make the model more realistic. The analysis and the results proved that the assignment algorithm works well and creates plausible results.

Abstract:
Metabolomics is the study of metabolomes, the sets of metabolites observed in living systems. Metabolism interconverts these metabolites to provide the molecules and energy necessary for life processes. Many disease processes, including cancer, have a significant metabolic component that manifests as differences in what metabolites are present and in what quantities they are produced and utilized. Thus, using metabolomics, differences between metabolomes in disease and non-disease states can be detected and these differences improve our understanding of disease processes at the molecular level. Despite the potential benefits of metabolomics, the comprehensive investigation of metabolomes remains difficult. A popular analytical technique for metabolomics is mass spectrometry. Advances in Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FT-MS) instrumentation have yielded simultaneous improvements in mass resolution, mass accuracy, and detection sensitivity. In the metabolomics field, these advantages permit more complicated, but more informative experimental designs such as the use of multiple isotope-labeled precursors in stable isotope-resolved metabolomics (SIRM) experiments. However, despite these potential applications, several outstanding problems hamper the use of FT-MS for metabolomics studies. First, artifacts and data quality problems in FT-MS spectra can confound downstream data analyses, confuse machine learning models, and complicate the robust detection and assignment of metabolite features. Second, the assignment of observed spectral features to metabolites remains difficult. Existing targeted approaches for assignment often employ databases of known metabolites; however, metabolite databases are incomplete, thus limiting or biasing assignment results. Additionally, FT-MS provides limited structural information for observed metabolites, which complicates the determination of metabolite class (e.g. lipid, sugar, etc. ) for observed metabolite spectral features, a necessary step for many metabolomics experiments. To address these problems, a set of tools were developed. The first tool identifies artifacts with high peak density observed in many FT-MS spectra and removes them safely. Using this tool, two previously unreported types of high peak density artifact were identified in FT-MS spectra: fuzzy sites and partial ringing. Fuzzy sites were particularly problematic as they confused and reduced the accuracy of machine learning models trained on datasets containing these artifacts. Second, a tool called SMIRFE was developed to assign isotope-resolved molecular formulas to observed spectral features in an untargeted manner without a database of expected metabolites. This new untargeted method was validated on a gold-standard dataset containing both unlabeled and 15N-labeled compounds and was able to identify 18 of 18 expected spectral features. Third, a collection of machine learning models was constructed to predict if a molecular formula corresponds to one or more lipid categories. These models accurately predict the correct one of eight lipid categories on our training dataset of known lipid and non-lipid molecular formulas with precisions and accuracies over 90% for most categories. These models were used to predict lipid categories for untargeted SMIRFE-derived assignments in a non-small cell lung cancer dataset. Subsequent differential abundance analysis revealed a sub-population of non-small cell lung cancer samples with a significantly increased abundance in sterol lipids. This finding implies a possible therapeutic role of statins in the treatment and/or prevention of non-small cell lung cancer. Collectively these tools represent a pipeline for FT-MS metabolomics datasets that is compatible with isotope labeling experiments. With these tools, more robust and untargeted metabolic analyses of disease will be possible.

Full text
Abstract:
Presently, progress in the field of phosphoproteomics has been accelerated by mass spectrometry. This is not a surprise owing to not only the accuracy, precision and high-throughput capabilities of MS but also due to the support it receives from informaticians whom allow the automated analysis; making the task of going from a complex sample to a statistically satisfactory set of phosphopeptides and corresponding site positions with relative ease. However, the process of identifying and subsequently pinpointing the phosphorylation moiety is not straightforward and remains a challenging task. Furthermore, it has been suggested that not all phosphorylation sites are of equal functional importance, to the extent that some may even lack function altogether. Clearly, such sites will confound the efforts towards functional characterisation. The work in this thesis is aimed at these two issues; accurate site localisation and functional annotation. To address the first issue, I adopt a multi-tool approach for identification and site localisation; utilising the different underlying algorithms of each tool and thereby allowing an orthogonal perspective on the same tandem mass spectra. Doing so enhanced accuracy over any single tool by itself. The power of this multi-tool approach stemmed from its ability to not predict more true positives but rather by removal of false positives. For the second issue, I first investigated the hypothesis that those of functional consequence exhibit stronger phosphorylation-characteristic features such as the degree of conservation and disorder. Indeed, it was found that some features were enriched for the functional group. More surprisingly, there were also some that were enriched for the less-functional; suggesting their incorporation into a prediction algorithm would hinder functional prediction. With this in mind, I train and optimise several machine-learning algorithms, using different combinations of features in an attempt to (separately) improve general phosphorylation and functional prediction.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the use of e-learning as a format for training communication skills within a degree level module in non-malignant palliative care. It discusses the need for such training before evaluating the benefits e-learning has to offer as a learning tool in the healthcare context. It describes how a ‘blended learning’ approach was taken with one study day combined with online interactive learning materials. Online exercises such as ‘drag and drop’ were used to facilitate students’ learning, together with the use of videos, external online links, and reflective diaries. The development of a summative assignment is discussed and its need to assess students’ use of these skills in clinical practice. Finally, the future developments of the e-learning platform to further enrich the students’ learning experience are presented. These include the use of online forums, both synchronous and asynchronous, which encourage peer-to-peer and peer-to-tutor communication.

Abstract:
AbstractMetric first-order temporal logic (MFOTL) is an expressive formalism for specifying temporal and data-dependent constraints on streams of time-stamped, data-carrying events. It serves as the specification language of several runtime monitors. These monitors input an MFOTL formula and an event stream prefix and output satisfying assignments to the formula’s free variables. For complex formulas, it may be unclear why a certain assignment is output. We propose an approach that accompanies assignments with detailed explanations, in the form of proof trees. We develop a new monitor that outputs such explanations. Our tool incorporates a formally verified checker that certifies the explanations and a visualization that allows users to interactively explore and understand the outputs.

Abstract:
There Change the design of the studying process in University during the covid-19 pandemic from face to face to online learning needs some tools to support it. Some tools coming with their own advantages and disadvantages. One of them is Zoom. It becoming tools liked by many lecturers and college students because easy installation process and complete features although it is not free and easy to hack. Nevertheless, internet access is still becoming a big problem in online learning. A mix between two tools of online learning is one of the solutions, for example, zoom and google classroom application. Zoom is used for virtual communication in online learning but it does not provide features for sending the assignment. Otherwise, google classroom provides features to send and receipt some assignments, and it can save the quote on the internet. Both of them will complete each other to support all needs in online learning.

Abstract:
This paper describes an experimental study that was performed among undergraduate students in their third year out of four required for their Software Engineering degree. The study's main purpose that stems from Maslow's motivational theory (self-actualization) was to explore possible motivational increase through self-grades comparisons. For that reason, a small Excel tool was provided with relative performance comparison graphs. Each student could enter his or her ID number and receive a two graphs figure. One graph represents the average class grades for all assignments and the second graph represents his or her assignments' grades. All assignments were individualized and personalized, so every student got a different set of assignments. In addition to the personal feedback, every student received for each assignment the tool provided a self-comparative assessment. Using this assessment, each student could judge his or her relative performance as compared to the class average. As part of the study, a 56 Methods in Software Engineering students were divided into two groups. Students in one group (the test group) were able to access the Excel tool while the students in the second group (the control group), did not. The study revealed that the grades of the four assignments in the test group gradually increased while on the control group the average grades remained very close. For the first assignment, the control group's average grade was higher by one point compared to the test group. In the second assignment, the trend reversed, and the test group's average grade was higher by two points. The difference between the groups increased further, and in the fourth assignments the average grade of the test group was higher by 7 points compared to the control group. Furthermore, while the course average grade of the control group was similar to the grades in previous years, the course average grade in the test group was higher by 2 points. Students' reflection supported these findings as some students expressed their views regarding the importance of their relative performance. The paper concludes with a discussion on the results and future follow-up directions.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigated student experiences with Elicit, an AI tool designed to support students with developing literature reviews. The research aimed to understand student perceptions of Elicit's usability and its impact on developing key research skills. Students from various courses and study levels, used Elicit to support their work on an upcoming assignment and shared their views in a focus group or interview. Findings revealed a mix of views on the usefulness and usability of Elicit. While some students found Elicit useful for highlighting key literature on a chosen topic, and appreciated its speed and reliability compared to other AI tools, others criticized the lack of quality assurance of the articles obtained and noted the article summaries as inadequate. Concerns were raised about potential over-reliance on AI tools, with the potential to hinder the development of critical research skills. Participants also debated the ethical implications of AI use in academia, with some viewing it as unfair and flagging the potential for academic misconduct. The study highlights the need for universities to provide clear guidance on AI tool usage to ensure ethical practices and support students in effectively integrating these technologies into their academic work. Despite its small scale, this research underscores the importance of understanding AI's role in teaching and learning.

Abstract:
This factsheet is the product of the students’ work with Procedural Theory in the course Urban Landscape Design during the spring term of 2025. The aim of the assignment is to reflect on and communicate urban landscape design working processes, by studies of sketching processes and creative thinking. The procedural theory or design process is a step-by-step procedure and exploratory method that applies a problem-solving approach to landscape design. According to Murphy (2016), a clearly defined design problem increases the likelihood of a successful resolution, where information intake and knowledge-based thinking during the design process is a critical part in achieving a successful design outcome (Bursic and Altman, 1997; Murphy, 2016). This factsheet shows some examples of the design process, and focuses mainly on reflecting on and describing the role and importance of sketching as an investigative and communicative tool that permeates the students' attempts to describe selected aspects of the design process. In this context, the design process facilitates testing, evaluation and clarification of the creative development (Hoffman 2019). The students' suggestions regarding the design flow underline, to some extent, the sketch as a crucial tool in the search for design and aesthetic solutions. The course Urban Landscape Design (LK0400) is an independent bachelor’s level course focusing on design of urban green spaces, offered at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and run by the Department of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (LTV faculty). The following abstracts and poster presentations present the students’ thoughts and reflections through visualisations and descriptive text, and show attempts to verbalise the design process steps/phases. The assumptions made and described in this factsheet are based on literature studies of procedural theory, as well as on the students’ previous experiences of the design process, and through individual and group reflections and discussions.

Abstract:
The study of architecture, urban planning and design at technical universities primarily offers a rational, technology- and practice-oriented education. The offer of a conceptual and socially critical approach to creation is only represented to a low degree. Students create projects that take into account the latest technical, environmental and architectural trends, but receive few assignments or conceive their designs as specific philosophical statements critically examining current social and political phenomena, whether on a local or trans-regional scale. By implementing courses and seminars with an emphasis on various visual media, students are given the opportunity to analyse issues in spatial themes and statements that they cannot apply in standard architectural design. The authors examine alternative methods in architectural education at technical universities involving intermedia visual arts. They investigate different forms of teaching in selected universities in the Central European context. The article is supplemented with case studies from the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Full text
Abstract:
The research was a retrospective study of twenty-five Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspection reports (from March 2017 through to December 2018) of a national medicine regulatory agency, drug Inspectorate, in West Africa, designed to assess the inspectors’ expertise in the act of inspection report writing. The investigation examined a paper-based tool of thirteen pre-registration Inspection reports and twelve GMP reassessment reports written prior and following an intervention program by external GMP trainers to enhance inspectors’ skill in pharmaceutical cGMP inspection. The study made use of quantitative analysis to investigate each team’s expertise in the act of writing GMP inspection report. Likewise, each report’s compliance with the requirements of three regulatory standards on GMP inspection report writing was ascertained. Impact of intervention program on lead inspectors’ competence was assessed. Lastly, gap in each team writing effectiveness, and lead inspectors’ abilities to deliver an effective report were determined. The results showed one of the inspection team (4.0%) wrote an excellent report. Two (8.0%) of the twenty-five inspection teams penned good inspection reports. Eleven (44.0%) teams drafted needs improvement reports and the remaining eleven teams (44.0%) prepared unacceptable reports. The excellent report and the two good reports had report format that meet expectation. One (50.0%) of the good reports showed the authors possess excellent knowledge of cGMP technical areas. The remain good report (50.0%) revealed the writers’ knowledge.as good. The excellent report showed the authors displayed partial mastery in the use of objective evidence while the two good reports disclosed theirs as having partial and evolving abilities. One of the teams (50.0%) that wrote good reports displayed good use of third person narrative past tense in report writing whereas the other team used the same tense and voice excellently. Generally, a sort of marginal level of performance was prominent among the inspection teams. A gap, if not tackled, will slow down regulatory process through increase report review, litigations that query report factual accuracy (AIHO, 2017) and delay in issuance of marketing authorization. In conclusion, trainings on quality attributes, such as technical content (Quality Management System (QMS) and Site), the use of objective evidence, assignment of risk levels to GMP violations and citing of applicable laws, regulation and guidelines that substantiate GMP observations, were recommended, to enhance knowledge sharing and regulators’ performance in the act of writing inspection report.

Humpage, Sarah D. When Are Field Experiments with Individual Assignment Too Risky?: Lessons from a Center-Based Child Care Study in Guatemala. Inter-American Development Bank, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0009063.

Full text
Abstract:
Randomized controlled trials, prized for generating unbiased estimates of treatment effects, have become popular in development economics. However, RCTs do not always offer sufficient statistical power, which is reduced in experiments with imperfect compliance to treatment assignment. This is of critical importance if effect sizes are modest, and if non-compliance may occur. Both are likely in experiments in center-based childcare programs with individual-level randomization for several reasons. Dropout in the treatment group may occur because families' demand for preschool is unknown when the sample is constructed, and it evolves over time as households experience shocks and as they learn about the center. Non-compliance in the control group arises when children access the program or alternative preschool programs. This paper uses a recent evaluation of the Hogares Comunitarios program in Guatemala to illustrate challenges inherent in experimental evaluations and offers strategies to identify situations in which studies are more likely to succeed.

Mizrach, Amos, Sydney L. Spahr, Ephraim Maltz, et al. Ultrasonic Body Condition Measurements for Computerized Dairy Management Systems. United States Department of Agriculture, 1993. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/1993.7568109.bard.

Full text
Abstract:
The body condition (BC) score is recognized in the dairy industry as an essential tool for managing the energy reserves of the dairy cow, which is essential for sustaining optimal and efficient production over several lactations. The current use of BC scoring depends on the accuracy of subjective visual estimates, and this limits its kusefulness as a management aid in the dairy industry. A measuring tool that would frequently provide objective data on the cow's body reserves would be a major contribution to efficient dairy herd management. Ultrasonic sensors have the potential to be developed into an efficient BC measuring device, and the experimental use of such sensors for subcutaneous fat thickness (SDFT) estimates, as an indication for BC in beef cattle, supports this assumption. The purposes of this project were: 1. To compare visual BC scoring and ultrasonic fat thickness with on-line automated body weight (BW) measurements as monitors of nutritional adequacy of dairy cows at various stages of lactation. 2. To determine the effects of variation in digestive fill in early and late lactation on the accuracy of body weight measurements in lactating cows. 3. To modify an existing ultrasonic system and develop a specialized, low-cost sensor for repeatable determination of body condition scores by users with minimal training and skill. 4. To develop a standard for the assignment of body condition scores based on ultrasonic measurements of subdermal fat thickness. The procedure to execute these objectives involved: 1. Frequent measurement of BW, milk yield (MY), BC (visually scored) and subdermal fat thickness ultrasonically measured of dairy cows, and data analysis on average and individual basis. 2. Testing and selection of an appropriate special-purpose sensor, finding an optimum body location for working an ultrasonic measurement, prcessing the signals obtained, and correlating the resulting measurements with performance responses in lactating cows. Linking the ultrasonic signals to BC scores, and developing a BC scoring data acquisition system are the first steps towards fulfilling the necessary requirements for incorporating this device into an existing dairy herd management system, in order to provide the industry with a powerful managment tool. From the results obtained we could conclude that: 1. BC does not correlate with BW changes during all stages of lactation, although in general terms it does. These results were confirmed by individual cow BW and BC data obtained during the course of lactation, that were supported by individual objective ultrasonic measurement of SDFT. 2. BW changes reflect energy metabolism reliably ony after peak milk yield; early in lactation, a decrease in BW expresses mobilization of body reserves only qualitatively, and not quantitatively. 3. Gastrointestinal content increases throughout the whole period during which dry matter intake (DMI) increases. The drastic increase very early in lactation prevents the use of BW changes as a basis for quantitative estimatio of energy meatabolism; at this stage of lactation, konly a BC score or any other direct measurements willl provide a quantitative estimate of energy metabolism. 4. Ultrasonic measurements of subdermal fat thickness can be used to quantify changes that correlate with the actual condition of the cow, as assessed by performance and the traditional way of scoring. 5. To find the best site on the cow's body at which to obtain responses to BC and its changes in the course of lactation, additional sites have to be examined. From the present study, it seems that the sites between ribs 12 and 13 have the potential for this purpose. 6. The use of templates made it easier to repeat measurements at a desired site and spot. However, the convenient easy-to-handle way to standardize the measurement, described in this study, koffers scope for improvement. 7. The RF peak values of the A-mode are better indicators of the location of fat layer borders than image analysis, from the point of view of future commercial development. 8. The distances between the RF peaks of the A-mode can be automatically measured by suitable software, for future commercial development. 9. Proper analysis of daily body weight and milk yield data can provide the necessary information on body condition changes during lactation, until a direct BC measurement device is developed. 10. In any case, at least one visual BC assessment has to be done, preferably immediately after calving, for calibration purposes.

Brown, Dustin, Jitinder Kohli, and Samantha Mignotte. TOOLS AT THE CENTRE OF GOVERNMENT:RESEARCH AND PRACTITIONERS' INSIGHTS. People in Government Lab, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-peoplegov-ri_2021/002.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper, the authors look at how the 'centre of government' (defined as "the people and organisations that support the head of government as the ‘guardians of overall strategic direction of government’, which often includes the president’s or prime minister’s offices as well as Cabinet, budget offices, etc") can add value from their position and with the tools available to them. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role not just of government generally, but in particular the essential role the centre of government must play to coordinate, communicate with the public, and navigate new problems that no longer respect the organisational boundaries we have created over time. More generally, the problems that governments need to solve are increasingly complex and horizontal, yet government is organised by vertical institutions and hierarchies. Whether handed down as a special assignment by a political leader or self-driven as part of their role, staff in the centre of government are responsible for driving forward progress on the government’s top priorities. With easy access to senior government leaders, but relatively small budgets and staff, the centre of government has a very different set of tools than other agencies. The authors present ten tools across four clusters that centres of governments can deploy: Cluster 1 tools – Planning from the centre: defining success and setting up agencies to improve Cluster 2 tools – Governing from the centre: creating structures to drive improvements Cluster 3 tools – Improving implementation from the centre: creating routines and driving change Cluster 4 tools – Improving service delivery from the centre: supporting and offering provision of cross-cutting services The tools presented focus on specific actions that the centre of government can take to drive a priority area for a leader. They go beyond the traditional areas of responsibility that are more well known that inherently sit with the centre of government.
