Initially restricted within schools, the violence among students began in the Internet through social networks, starting cyber bullying expression. This study aims to analyze the influence of worry and involvement of teachers in cyber bullying practices. For this, a survey was conducted among 112 elementary and high school teachers from public and private schools in the city of Blumenau, SC, Brazil...
After lung cancer, breast cancer is known to be the greatest cause for death among females [20]. The improving effectiveness of machine learning approaches is being given a lot of importance by medical practitioners for breast cancer diagnosis. The paper proposes an effective hybridized classifier for breast cancer diagnosis. The classifier is made by combining an unsupervised artificial neural network...
With the thriving development of technology devices, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry has shown considerable growth. Recently, smart campuses in developing countries have become a exceptionally large part of the education market because numerous high-tech system and platform companies use their products to provide a total solution in the field of ICT. This study developed...
This paper addresses the problem of cache pollution in P2P (Peer-to-peer) systems. P2P traffic has a significant impact on ISPs as it accounts for more than half of the all traffic. This will cause some negative impact on the Internet like network congestion, high latency. P2P caching is an efficient method for handling this problem. Most of the P2P cache systems suffer from Cache Pollution. This...
There are few Chinese dish recommendation algorithms due to the variety of Chinese dishes. It could be impossible to find one's most liked dishes in a restaurant through the name or the ingredients of a dish. The algorithm in this paper uses the user's ordering history to quantify one's taste by k-means clustering method and determines the number of user's favorite tastes by the BWP index. With the...
We consider the problem of object localization in Internet videos. An Internet video (e.g. YouTube videos) is often associated with a semantic label (also known as a tag) describing the main object present within it. However, the tag does not provide any spatial or temporal information about the main object in the video. Such videos are weakly labelled. Given weakly labelled video with video-level...
Practical work in the laboratory is the most important component in training of the polytechnic specialists. The usage of information and communication technologies as well as Internet makes it possible to increase the number of laboratory facilities available for training students. Bauman University has some laboratories of remote access specialized in such important disciplines like robotics, nanotechnologies,...
This paper explores the concept of digital divide (DD) in Ghana's basic schools in Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis in Western Region. We tested the ICT culture variables as well as school location factor in respect to school's digital divide. A survey sample contained 17 regional city schools from three different locations - central city in the region, towns away from the central city, and village schools...
A considerable amount of money worldwide is being spent on education to fast track social-economic growth of countries. The introduction of electronic education (e-Education) has made significant change in the education sector with the teacher's role being changed from teacher to instructor. The Malawi Government is interesting in leveraging eEducation to reduce the gap in achieving better and quality...
This paper describes a qualitative study of user training practices in a medical computing lab. We define training in this circumstance as, “acquisition of information in order to successfully do scientific work”. The medical computing lab is a typical scientific computing environment with a significant overlap of computing and scientific application domain expertise. The study presents a picture...
There are many studies about the INTERNET based learning, its use and its addiction and this is one of them. This paper lightened a brief overview of research, on theoretical and practical perspective of day to day work of students at BHARAT INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Partapur Meerut, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA. This research is among the medical psychologists, students of Institute and some of my colleagues...
This work describes one of the main Web based Control learning projects known as: The Design of Virtual Teaching in the Laboratory of Automatic Control, that is presently being developed by the Department of Processes and Systems of the Simón Bolívar University in Caracas-Venezuela. This project is mainly focused in developing more effective teaching methods by using interactive Web based experiences...
With the boom of e-commerce, it is a very popular trend for people to share their consumption experience and rate the items on a review site. The information they shared is valuable for new users to judge whether the items have high-quality services. Nowadays, many researchers focus on personalized recommendation and rating prediction. They miss the significance of service objective evaluation. Service...
In this paper, we consider multi-sensor classification when there is a large number of unlabeled samples. The problem is formulated under the multi-view learning framework and a Consensus-based Multi-View Maximum Entropy Discrimination (CMV-MED) algorithm is proposed. By iteratively maximizing the stochastic agreement between multiple classifiers on the unlabeled dataset, the algorithm simultaneously...
Undergraduates are influenced by modern technology such as smart-phone apps, social networks and the Internet. Technology is perceived to be “cool” and students are often interested in gaining expertise in them. However, most of them lack access to the tools/knowledge needed for a developer level involvement and several lack the opportunity to experience the research that creates the “cool stuff”...
Indian National Agricultural Research System (INARS) is one of the largest agricultural systems. In 2007, Consortium for e-Resources in Agriculture (CeRA) was established for providing access of e-Resources to INARS. Access of about 3000 e-journals has been provided to the 143 agricultural institutions/universities of INARS on IP (Internet Protocol) authentication basis through CeRA. Access of e-resources...
The information revolution particularly e-resources has changed the shape of libraries and role of librarians. The present study has been undertaken to compare the level of awareness and utilization of electronic journals (e-journals) among faculty members and research scholars (RS) of Banasthali University (BU), Rajasthan, India Further, the data is collected through a structured questionnaire distributed...
Today, search engines play a vital role in accessing the online content. However, the data in the webpages are not clearly perceived by search engines. As a result, it provides a lot of irrelevant data with little desired information. In addition, it takes a lot of time in searching the appropriate result. By studying the online educational needs of Indian school children, we aim to retrieve appropriate...
Massachusetts's Institute of Technology was the first university to provide web based university and postgraduate courses, in 2002. These courses were available on OpenCourseWare bases, which was open to anyone. The goal for the next 10 years was to provide as many online courses as possible also easily accessible to everyone. While the focus was more on the “e” part of learning, slowly the accent...
Internet and online-based social systems are rising as the dominant mode of communication in society. However, the public or semi-private environment under which most online communications operate under do not make them suitable channels for speaking with others about personal or emotional problems. This has led to the emergence of online platforms for emotional support offering free, anonymous, and...
