Globalizing changes in society are able to influence changes in the economies of individual countries. Individual economic entities from various sectors attempt to achieve high economic performance and development. They do this within the conditions that are possible at that time; if there are favorable conditions for their development, this will result in creating innovative production and its subsequent...
In this paper, we propose a classification model for learning state based on individual biometric data. In particular, we use the pupil size as a biometric data and the data has been collected from 72 participants. We also deploy the support vector machine (SVM) in conjunction with k-fold validation as an analysis tool. In order to improve the performance of the SVM, the we remove outliers from the...
Geogames, that is, location-based games played in outdoor environments, have been shown to support a wide range of learning experiences in areas such as cultural heritage and biodiversity. However, we still know little about how the different aspects of location-based game-play interact temporally. This paper addresses the design problem of integrating a simulation into the game mechanic of a Geogame...
Educational environments are different in each country, though the subjects are almost the same: students, families, teachers, schools, school systems, government supervision — ministry. The system parameters' relationships are determined using similar factors: the overall economic situation, the organization of the education system, the financial support of the state, and others. But still, the effectiveness...
Over the last few years, research was aimed to investigate neuromorphic computing methodologies for understanding the functions and behavior of biological neurons on a real-time basis. In neuron electrical models, the principles of computational neuroscience is translated on to analog hardware and the circuits reproduces the bio-physical properties of neurons. Our aim was to implement analog neuron...
Recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have stimulated the need for adaptation of new models of teaching and learning in educational institutions. Since the beginning, the use of technology in education has gained a lot of attention and has been applied to many areas in the academic domain. The introduction of ICT has motivated scholars to find out how various ICT tools...
We are using life-size mannequins within an education subjects, e.g. “Medical devices” for a demonstration of basic principles of modern clinical devices such as mechanical lung ventilator. Limitation of many simulators is uniformity of its outputs for same input parameters. This paper describes variability of the vital signs of the mannequin when the same scenario was used for different base patients...
Concepts of Control Systems are important as they are present in the operation of a broad set of systems in all engineering branches. Sustainability issues have led to an intensive use of these concepts on systems. However teaching / learning of Control Systems Engineering has always been a difficult subject not only for the underlying theoretical part, but also for the few examples that are traditionally...
Nowadays, news are available ubiquitously in heterogeneous forms, from both offline and online sources. An example of offline news resource includes newspaper which contains only text and pictures. Online news articles have recently emerged to enhance news consuming experiences, such as embedding videos to allow readers to illustrate real situations. However, to read news articles online, users may...
The study presented in this paper aims to explore students' characteristics and to determine student groups based on their previous education and socio-demographic characteristics. Descriptive data mining method, cluster analysis, is applied in the analysis process. Data used in the research is collected among first, second and third year IT students. Research results indicate profile of successful...
Ideological and political education at higher-education institutions (HEIs) face new challenges. To cope with the development requirements of the contemporary era, it is of vital practical significance to introduce the “cooperative education” concept into the ideological and political education at HEIs and establish “cooperative education” mechanisms. These moves are expected to help resolve the conspicuous...
This paper is about extended application of virtual engineering principles, methodologies, and systems as a possible answer to urgent need for integrated industrial, research, and higher educational programs and processes. One of the motivations is the changed world of engineering which requires quick utilization of new findings as new context. At the same time, development of virtual engineering...
Modern Russian management model is a mixture management methods based on post-Soviet economic reality and Western best practices. Entering the global economy in the 90th Russia was forced to adopt foreign management models suitable for new market reality. Nevertheless foreign management models could not be copied in pure forms. The authors conducted the analysis of the Generation theory (baby boomers,...
Modern information technologies has changed our world dramatically during last years. We see how a number of traditional professions were died, and how a number of new specialities and workplaces were born under pressure of new technologies. Technologies are moving so quickly, and in so many directions, that it becomes challenging to even keep in mind a general picture. In this article, we shortly...
This paper addresses sports skill discrimination using motion picture data, focused on volleyball attack skill. We attempt to certify the hypothesis that expert skills have relatively low frequency motions rather than novice skills as the similarity of human postural control. For this purpose we proceed experiments and analyze sports skills as for frequency of motion using time series motion pictures...
Virtual laboratories encourage Internet based learning with the help of online protocols, simulations, animations, video-tutorials, self evaluation designed for each objectives and experiments in any area of science and technology. Remote access to instruments has further enhanced the utility of virtual laboratories and forms a strong laboratory constituent. The paper focuses on the application of...
Many zoological activities, including scientific expeditions, or in educational settings, necessitate disruptive removal of specimens from their natural environment. The Anthropogenic Effect theory present by Courchamp clearly indicates the unsustainability of current practices, with dramatic changes necessary for the wellbeing and sustainability of our ecosystems. For both public, and academic, education...
A number of key studies have argued universities are in need of new business models in order to stay relevant and sustainable. Drivers of change such as technology, financial support, industry trends and socio-economic ecosystems are dictating higher education sector to re-examine its existing business model and value proposition. The changes are dynamic and complex. It is very difficult to analyse...
