Construction and management of smart campus: Anti-disturbance control of flexible manipulator based on PDE modeling.

With the rapid development of smart campus, this paper studies the attitude tracking control of flexible manipulator (FM) in colleges and universities under elastic vibration and external disturbances. First, different from the traditional modeling based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the partial differential equations (PDEs) dynamic model of a manipulator system is established based on the Hamilton principle (HP). Second, the boundary control condition of the end system of the manipulator is introduced to adjust the vibration of the manipulator. Furthermore, a Proportional-Derivative (PD) boundary control (PDBC) strategy is proposed by the Lyapunov function to suppress the vibration of the manipulator. Finally, a numerical comparison simulation based on MATLAB/SIMULINK further verifies the robustness and anti-disturbance performance of the control method proposed in this paper.

Design and Analysis of Solar-powered E-bike Charging Stations to Support the Development of Green Campus

Currently, conventional motorcycles that utilize hazardous fossil fuels are expanding rapidly in Indonesia's major cities. Especially in campus environments, the increase in motorcycle usage has the potential to raise emissions of greenhouse gases and toxic microparticles. The green campus concept entails that campus living must implement low-emission energy efficiency, conserve resources, and enhance environmental quality by teaching its residents how to live a healthy lifestyle. However, limiting the number of motorcycles on campus is the main challenge, especially in Indonesia. To overcome this challenge, this study provides a design for the e-bike system that will be implemented at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY). In addition, a solar power plant is integrated into the design to support the adoption of the zero-emission green energy concept on the campus. The design accommodates specifications for a 6 km radius surrounding the school, a two-day lifespan, and 100 electric bicycles. The experiment's findings indicate that the solar-powered e-bike design requires 99 solar panels with a capacity of 150 Wp, 9 SSCs with a capacity of 100 A, and three inverters with a capacity of 2,500 W. It is projected that this device will reduce exhaust emissions by 7.62 tons of CO2 per year once it is entirely operated.

Research on Abnormal Behavior Prediction by Integrating Multiple Indexes of Student Behavior and Text Information in Big Data Environment

With the wide application of information technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing, college students have accumulated a large amount of personal information and daily behavior data in their daily studies and life. How to dynamically integrate multidimensional information of students to build accurate student portraits, using multi-indicator data of student behavior and comment texts, and finding out students with abnormal behavior from among many students has become an important problem to be solved. This paper proposes an abnormal behavior prediction method integrating multiple indicators of student behavior and text information (ABPM-IMISBTI) for the problem of abnormal behavior prediction of college students in the big data environment. First, given the problems of multidimensionality, timeliness, and dynamics of student behavior information fusion in the construction of student behavior portraits, by integrating students’ objective tags and subjective tags, an optimized K-means algorithm based on a cloud platform environment is proposed. Second, aiming at the problem of insufficient text information analysis in the analysis of students’ abnormal behavior, the ABPM-IMISBTI method is proposed to solve the prediction of students’ abnormal behavior through long and short-term memory networks (LSTM) combined with student behavior multi-index data and text information. Finally, this paper takes student achievement prediction as an example for verification. The experimental results show that, compared with other prediction methods, the ABPM-IMISBTI method proposed in this paper can improve the accuracy of student behavior prediction, and then quickly determine the abnormal behavior of students, to improve the level of education management in universities and promote the development of safe campuses, smart campuses, and smart education.

Organizational commitment through core self-evaluation, social support, and motivation

Humans are main actors in achieving organizational success. Every institution seems to be forced to adapt to changes due to the pandemic. The current situation requires that every aspect of employee life in almost every industry is carried out online, including education corporations. Campus Z faces extra challenges as a well-known private university to consistently demonstrate excellent transformational service performance. In achieving an excellent organization, various collaborations of qualified resources are needed, one of which is the ownership of administrative staffs who are highly dedicated to the organization. The positive attitude of employees is determined by the quality of their perspective on themselves and their assessment of their work and organization enviroment. By collecting data through a context review and Google Forms, the research team wanted to analyze the relationship between core self-evaluation, social support, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation as determinants of organizational commitment. Through multiple linear regression analysis, it has been proven that organizational commitment is positively influenced by extrinsic motivation and negatively influenced by intrinsic motivation. The research team hopes that the results of this study can provide constructive feedback on the leadership and management development of Campus Z in the long term.

Analisis Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja Menggunakan Metode Hazard Identification And Risk Assessment Pada Proyek Konstruksi

The construction service sector is one of the many business fields that are classified as very prone to accidents. This research takes a case study, namely the Bali Kura-Kura Creative Campus Development Project which requires a lot of human resources and is of course prone to construction accidents due to negligence or human error. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of accident risk that occurs and provide K3 recommendations after knowing the level of accident risk. In this study the questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Questionnaires were compiled from predetermined research variables.

Then there are 5 sources (25%) that are included in the medium risk level and 10 sources (50%) of the risk that are included in the high risk category found in all activity areas. Meanwhile, in the extreme risk category, there are 2 sources (10%) found in the excavation area and based on the analysis, it can be seen that the recommendations for improvement proposals that can be made include tightening supervision on each worker activity, enforcing SOPs for each activity, providing safety signs on certain areas that may pose a potential hazard, provide personal protective equipment (PPE).

Resilient university campus in the city in COVID and post-COVID era—recommendations, guidelines, and evidence from research in Italy and Poland

The pandemic ‘stay at home’ obligations turned our homes from a place to live to a place to live, work, entertain ourselves and to study. Since March 2020, confinement has had a permanent impact on students’ perception of studying and on academic lifestyle. Most universities continue teaching online, and most academic facilities, such as lecture and seminar halls, student halls, and dormitories, have been abandoned. Some of them form vast areas in cities that play a major role in the urban structure. The authors have examined the degree and way of occupation of the academic infrastructure before and in time of the pandemic. Evidence and data have been gathered from different universities in Poland and Italy. From their origins, academic campuses can be considered autonomous communities within or on the city limits. In a post-pandemic perspective, the evidence shows that the growing population of students does not mean campus development and that the campuses that have shown the greatest resilience are “open” campuses which are able to share, integrate, and exchange their spaces and facilities with those of the city. The authors conclude that the pandemic will have an impact on the future urban form of academic facilities.

The results show that development programs are carried out through the optimization of student activity units. Through the effective implementation of managerial functions of strategic policy planning in the form of statutes, strategic plans, designation of campus development priority programs, establishment of business units, and entrepreneurship programs, leadership plays a role in developing student entrepreneurship; Organizing functions are performed in the form of task formalization and managing restructuring; leadership functions in the concept of view, appreciate, leading, understand, and evaluate (VALUE) in the spiritual religious frame–muslimpreneur; and supervision functions are performed both against program implementation and budget liability in the development of student entrepreneurship.

The paradoxes of developing European transnational campuses in China and Egypt

Through the lens of paradox theory, we present and discuss the cases of two different proposals for a European public university, located in Lisbon, Portugal, to develop transnational campuses, one in China and one in Egypt. We discuss the three overarching goals of the transnational campus in our cases (funding through international cooperation, projection of soft power, and the development of human capital) and compare the structure of both proposals with particular attention to the governance and pedagogical models proposed for China and the Middle East, and shed light on the different expectations that Middle Eastern and Chinese authorities hold regarding the cooperation with European institutions in the area of higher education. We conclude that the development of transnational campus can be considered a paradoxical journey and the success of which depends on how the tensions between goals are tackled and synergies obtained – or not. This will help in designing adequate policies and strategies in order to optimize the cooperation.

Research on the Indicators of Sustainable Campus Renewal and Reconstruction in Pursuit of Continuous Historical and Regional Context

As cities transition from incremental development to stock development, university campuses in suburban areas are progressively becoming urban university campuses. The stability of the boundary between urban university campuses and the city, along with the fact that the campus’s overall spatial capacity is reaching its maximum, makes it impossible for urban university campuses to have future spatial expansions. This article focused on the stock development, renewal, and transformation of urban campuses. From the perspective of urban university campus block morphology hierarchy and using the Wushan Campus of South China University of Technology in Guangzhou as an example, this study utilized urban morphology theory, data mining technology, big data collection, and visualization techniques to measure campus block morphology. Then, K-means clustering was utilized to classify the block form, and historical background research was employed to study the many forms of typical block form. Finally, the campus renewal and transformation guiding principles were introduced, and the control index of block form renewal and transformation was formed, evolving into the university campus block form renewal and transformation design technique. This strategy was used to investigate the general revitalization of college campuses.

НЕКОТОРЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ УЧЕБНОЙ ПРОЕКТНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ СТУДЕНТОВ ПРИ РАЗРАБОТКЕ ОБЩЕСТВЕННОГО КОВОРКИНГОВОГО ПРОСТРАНСТВА НА ТЕРРИТОРИИ КАМПУСА ВУЗА

The article discusses the main current trends in the development of modern university campuses and their interaction with the existing features of urban infrastructure. A design solution for a local object of accessible public space on the BSTU campus is proposed. It is able to provide conditions for both learning and social interactions, attracting and involving not only students and university staff, but also potential applicants, as well as residents of nearby areas of the city. The symbiosis of these processes leads to an increase in the public image of the university, and, as a result, the formation of a new urban center of attraction. Some tools for the implementation of team design activities of undergraduates of the department “Architectural structures” within the framework of the discipline “Project-based learning” are presented. A business model has been built reflecting the connections between market participants for the implementation of the idea, and possible development prospects based on cooperation with potential partners. The features of the external appearance of the space dictated by the surrounding architectural environment are described. Clear rectangular shapes repeat the pilasters of the main buildings of the BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov. Symbolic Latin letters “BSTU” (Belgorod State Technological University) have been created as the main art object, performing not only an enclosing function, but also creating additional seating.

A hybrid assessment framework for human‐centred sustainable smart campus: A case study on COVID‐19 impact

The continuous development of modern information and communication technologies is driving the smart revolution in the global education system. The outbreak of the COVID‐19 pandemic has recently posed unprecedented challenges to educational institutes. The education informatisation technologies are playing a vital role to ensure the continuity and enhance the performance of education during the pandemic, which accelerates the integration of cutting‐edge technologies and thus the overall development of the smart campus. Alongside the technological advancement, the existing studies indicate that the success of smart campus development mainly depends on three key dimensions: technology capability, sustainability, and student health and well‐being. However, the state‐of‐the‐art assessment on smart campus are mostly unilaterally dependent but lack a balanced evaluation of the three dimensions. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes a hybrid assessment framework that integrates all three key aspects, aiming to provide a multi‐dimensional view of campus smartness for human‐centred sustainable development. The smart campus assessment index resulting from the proposed framework is constructed under a limiting factor formulation to jointly model the individual contributions from the three dimensions as well as their trade‐off relationship. The contribution from each dimension is the weighted normalised sum of a set of precisely selected indicators. A case study is also conducted on the historical data of a US university to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and the assessment index in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, which also demonstrates the rationality of the hybrid framework for smart campus assessment.

Cultivating learning among the gardens of Irvine: William Pereira’s plans for structure, scholarship, and nature in suburban California

ABSTRACT This paper places William Pereira’s designs for the campus of UC Irvine within the context of Post-World War II development in Southern California. Using Leo Marx’s Machine in the Garden as well as Ebenezer Howard’s Garden Cities, Pereira’s work is evaluated for its ability to blend nature and artifice through his integration of landscape and architecture. Irvine is considered relative to existing planning ideologies of this era, including the development of suburban corporate campuses and auto-dominant suburbs. New developments and emerging growth enclaves reflected a desire to retain a sense of pastoralism, while accommodating the conveniences associated with modern living. The context of Marx and Howard, along with case studies of the mid-twentieth century help to frame the analysis of UCI’s landscape and architecture. Planning texts, diagrams, and photographs are considered in the evaluation of UC Irvine’s design and construction. Situating the campus as both town and garden, the analysis focuses on whether Pereira’s modernist intentions to create a new space where both campus and nature could evolve together, were fully met. As a semi-natural, intensely social space, UC Irvine’s development is laid out as a construction project, while serving the cultural needs of this mid-twentieth century academic community.
