Concept Of Game Research Articles

Making a serious game (gamification) for generation Z medical students to learn, teach, and assess medical Physiology.

The concept of serious games and gamification in medical education is gaining attention due to its nature of curiosity and to engage the student's attention by simultaneous cultivation of their higher-level thinking without the experience of boredom. Significant differences were reported among the present medical students, generations Y and Z compared to earlier generations. The advancements in serious games for medical education fit well with millennial medical students' learning styles. Till date, there are no scientific research studies available in literature majorly using solo playing gaming experience for medical Physiology teaching, learning, and assessment in medical schools. In this unsystematic (narrative) review, the development and process in gamification for medical Physiology teaching and assessment has been analyzed. Inclusion criteria: list of articles from PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane by means of manual search with the key words include; gamification on Physiology teaching, learning; serious games created/developed for medical Physiology. Exclusion criteria include the articles not involving medical Physiology teaching, gaming app application, card board games, and quiz games. This review explores the difficulties and practical challenges encountered by a medical educator/doctor professional toward the development of solo playing gamified platform. Also further necessitates the user-friendly interface or apps that involve drop and drag options for serious solo playing games development for medical education. Additionally, insists the addition of gamification elements and artificial intelligence tools application as one of the components of curriculum as electives in medical schools for undergraduate and post graduate level. These will pave the way for medical educators to familiarize the gamification designing tools for various serious solo playing games for medical subjects' teaching, learning, and assessment.

Automated workflow generation supporting the value stream design of reconfigurable robot assembly cells

The paper addresses the automated generation of value stream optimized assembly workflows for reconfigurable robot cells. The focus is on the generation of asynchronous concurrent action workflows from assembly task descriptions. The main motivation is to enable automated search for optimized solutions within the enormous design spaces of these systems which results from their structural and procedural configurability. The proposed approach conducts task assignment, task sequencing and logical task planning (AI Planning) for multiple agents. The approach combines existing methods from the distinct research fields of robot task sequencing and discrete task planning. The contribution of the research is twofold. Firstly, the paper proposes a generic domain meta model enabling automated workflow generation for multi-agent assembly tasks. Secondly, a workflow generation approach based on artificial intelligence planning combined with the game-theoretic concept of extensive form games is presented. The approach iteratively generates a cooperative strategy for acting agents which is subsequently optimized in terms of individual strategies. The obtained logical action plans are further transformed into parametric concurrent action schedules to support downstream design activities. Both the meta model and the workflow generation approach are applied in a case study and provide valuable information on achievable assembly speedup.

게임 요소 기반 디지털 학습 프로그램을 활용한 초급 한국어 교수·학습 방안 연구

This study investigates the gamification elements of Kahoot, a game-based digital learning program, and proposes a teaching and learning method that can be used for beginner’s level of Korean language education. Gamification is the application of game structures and principles to non-game fields to engage and focus users. By applying gamification to education, it is possible to utilize the extrinsic motivation of games to trigger the intrinsic motivation of games and maximize the effectiveness of education. An analysis of Kahoot, a digital learning program, based on the gamification elements identified in the literature review, shows that Kahoot not only faithfully reflects each element of gamification, but also has a variety of devices that can engage learners in sensory, challenging, and illusory immersion. Based on the needs of digitally savvy learners and the classroom that is equipped with digital equipment, Kahoot is appropriate to be utilized in the practice phase of beginner’s level of Korean. Chapter 4 presents a case study on the application of gamification to Korean language classes. The failure to conduct learner surveys or experimental studies based on the gamification concept and teaching and learning methods proposed in this study can be pointed out as a limitation of this study. In the future, more research should be conducted on how to use Kahoot and other digital learning programs for teaching and learning Korean based on their effectiveness.

A STUDY ON THE PROBLEM OF MEANING IN THE ART OF SCULPTURE

This study explores the complex relationship between the meaning of sculpture and its making process in the context of the philosophy of language. Sculpture is a unique art form that involves the creation of three-dimensional objects that occupy physical space. However, the meaning of a sculpture is not limited to its spatial characteristics alone. This study identifies two distinct levels of meaning in sculpture: its relation to space and its making process. While the former has received considerable attention in the literature, the latter has been largely overlooked. Therefore, this study focuses on the semantic relationship between Richard Serra's sculptures and his sculpture-making processes, particularly in his early works.
 
 Richard Serra is widely regarded as one of the most important artists of the Process Art movement, which emerged in the 1960s and emphasizes the importance of the making process in art. The study questions the reduction of the meaning of sculpture to a mere action and seeks to establish a deeper relationship between the philosophy of language and the process of sculpture. To achieve this, the study draws on the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein, J. L. Austin, and John R. Searle, who are some of the most important philosophers of language of the 20th century.
 
 Wittgenstein's concept of language games and his emphasis on the social context of language use is particularly relevant to this study. The study explores how Serra's sculpture-making processes can be seen as a form of language game, with its own rules and conventions. Similarly, Austin's concept of performative language provides a framework for understanding how the making process of a sculpture can be seen as a form of performative action. The study also draws on Searle's theory of speech acts, which suggests that language use is not just a matter of describing the world, but also of performing actions and creating new realities.
 
 Overall, this study represents an important contribution to the field of art and philosophy. By exploring the relationship between the meaning of sculpture and its making process, the study challenges traditional notions of art and raises important questions about the nature of meaning and representation in art. The study also demonstrates the relevance of the philosophy of language to the study of art and provides a framework for future research in this area.

Environmental Design of Indonesian Cultural Background on Creative Design Incubation of 'Legacy of Moksha'

Indonesia has an almost countless number of cultures, making it one of the countries with thousands of cultures and their diversity. Seeing this fact, it is quite unfortunate that Indonesian people at this time do not respect their own culture, and far prefer culture from abroad. This is due to the existence of globalization which makes it easier for information to enter rapidly, especially in the field of creative media and entertainment which is one of the negative effects for Indonesian culture, namely local culture which is shifted by foreign culture. It is hoped that this project will be able to compete with this problem by creating a creative concept based on Indonesian culture, to introduce and re-creating love for Indonesian culture, through a more interesting and creative video game concept. Therefore, a plan to create a creative concept that will be the base for creating a creative media, that is expected to attract Indonesian people's interest in their own culture. Some methods such as literature study, documentation study, and surveys are used, which are based on several sources such as literature books, articles, journals, and the results of past research that has been done before. The data obtained will be a guide for making a concept book, which will be the final result of designing the Legacy of Moksha game concept.

Fixed cost allocation using asymmetrical core-Nash bargaining DEA game

This paper introduces cooperative game theory into the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method for building a novel fixed cost allocation (FCA) approach from group and individual consciousness. We start by acknowledging the divergences of decision-making units (DMUs) and propose an asymmetrical Nash bargaining DEA game, where DMUs’ bargaining powers are defined through the functions of cross-efficiency and operation scale. However, the asymmetrical Nash bargaining solution is proposed from an individual perspective, without providing the theoretical support of full cooperation. To narrow this gap, we further introduce the core concept of a coalitional cooperative game into the built asymmetrical Nash bargaining DEA game, resulting in the asymmetrical core-Nash bargaining DEA game. The asymmetrical core-Nash bargaining solution is based on the common weights, with the properties of stability, fairness, Pareto-efficiency, and invariance to affine transformation. Furthermore, our proposed approach inherently ensures the uniqueness of the fixed cost scheme. Finally, numerical analysis and case study are provided to show the concrete application of the new method.

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Online Scenario- based Gamification Workshop on Participants' Learning and Satisfaction

Introduction: In modern educational approaches, game and gamification are one of the main approaches in creating attractive learning spaces. Game-based learning is also an active and appropriate method for behavioral and performance changes in students. This study reviews the design and implementation of a scenario- based gamification workshop and evaluates its impact on learning and participant satisfaction. Methods: This semi-experimental pretest-posttest study was conducted on participants in a scenario-based gamification workshop in early 2021. The study population consisted of 52 participants, including medical faculty members and students, who participated in a national gamification workshop. Due to the small sample size, all individuals were included in the study through a census method, and ultimately, 46 participants completed both pretest and posttest questionnaires. The workshop was held online simultaneously through a six- hour webinar using the ZOOM platform and was conducted by two instructors through short lectures, interactive questions, and presenting scenarios. The research tools were two questionnaires to assess pre- and post- knowledge and participants' satisfaction with the quality of the workshop. The satisfaction cut- off point was considered to be 75%, equivalent to 4 out of 5, and the knowledge score range was from 0 to 10, with a cut- off point of 5. The data were analyzed using one- sample t- test, paired t-test, and ANOVA through SPSS. Results: The results showed that the instructional intervention was significantly effective in increasing participants' knowledge (P< 0.001, t=14.36). Independent t- test of the posttest score by demographic variables showed no significant difference in gender (P = 0.134, t=.56) and academic status (P= 0.645, t = 1.01). There was no significant relationship between participants' educational level and posttest score (P= 0.871, F= 1.60). The results of the satisfaction score showed that the satisfaction score for all dimensions was above the cut-off-point (4) (P< 0.001). Participants' free comments emphasized the necessity and usefulness of game-based learning and gamification in teaching and learning. Conclusion: It seems that developing practical concepts of gamification and scenario- based gamification for teachers will be useful in creating more attractive classrooms. In this regard, it is necessary to provide empowerment courses and educational programs for faculty members and educational staff on gamification and its implementation in educational environments.

Incomplete cooperative games with player-centered information

The computation of a solution concept of a cooperative game usually employs values of all coalitions. However, in some applications, the values of some of the coalitions might be unknown due to high costs associated with their determination or simply because it is not possible to determine them exactly. We introduce a method to approximate standard solution concepts based only on partial characteristic function of the cooperative game. In this paper, we build on our previous results and generalise the results of our methods to a significantly larger class of structures of incomplete information.

Multi-objective optimization for energy efficient cooperative communication in energy-constrained overlay Cognitive Radio Networks

With the rapid proliferation of wireless devices, energy efficiency and addressing spectrum scarcity have become critical global concerns. To address these challenges, this paper explores radio-frequency energy harvesting in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) as a solution which can significantly extend the battery life of mobile devices. In this setup, energy-constrained secondary users (SUs) use Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) technology to harvest energy from primary signals and aid primary transmission. We propose a joint time-switching and power-splitting technique to maximize energy harvesting, achieving a 97.7% accurate sub-optimal solution compared to the optimal (benchmark) result. Furthermore, we investigate optimal power allocation during cooperative communication and secondary transmission, resulting in a near-optimal solution with 98.5% accuracy. We also introduce a cooperative communication framework using the Hedonic game concept, enabling SUs to establish preferred partnerships with suitable primary users (PUs). Numerical results indicate that this cooperative framework enhances the secondary network’s overall utility, average SU satisfaction, and SU participation when compared to the non-cooperative approach.

Gamification and game-based learning in teaching english

In recent years, there has been a major shift in the way that individuals learn languages. With technological advancements, language learning has become more interactive, engaging and entertaining than ever before. More and more learners are finding that they are able to learn a language more effectively than they would have done through traditional methods. An increasing number of studies have been carried out on the use of gamification on language learning and how it can enhance language proficiency, motivation and engagement among learners. The concept of gamification, which refers to the integration of game elements and mechanics into non-game processes or tasks, has been found to be effective in promoting learning.

Attitudes of Secondary School Teachers towards Gamification

The concept of gamification is increasingly being used in the classroom because of its impact on student motivation and engagement. The purpose of gamification is not to exclusively incorporate digital games, but to gamify activities through some game-based elements such as avatars, badges, virtual points, levels, stories, leaderboards, awards, etc. Although it is an approach with great potential, a review of the literature on the use of gamification in education has shown that it is more common in higher education and less common in schools. Since teachers play a key role in introducing innovations in the classroom, their attitude towards gamification is very important. For this reason, a survey was conducted among a sample of secondary school teachers to investigate their attitudes toward gamification. The paper describes a study conducted among teachers at a vocational secondary school where a previous study of gamification among students had been conducted, which showed that students were very satisfied with the use of various game-based elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and stories. Teachers were asked about the use of gamification in their teaching practice as well as their attitudes towards gamification. The paper analyses the extent to which they are familiar with the possibility of gamification, whether they use game-based elements and/or digital tools for gamification in the classroom, and their reasons for using gamification. The reasons for not using gamification are specifically examined to determine what actions could be taken in the future to increase teachers' adoption of gamification and encourage its use in the classroom.
