Design and Implementation of Intelligent Educational Administration System Using Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm

The present work aims to solve the problems that the traditional educational administration management system has, such as low efficiency in analyzing big data, and the analysis results have low value, which is based on manual rules definition in big data analysis and processing. The work proposes a student achievement prediction model FCM-CF based on Fuzzy C-means (FCM) and Collaborative Filtering (CF). The work also introduces it into the research of educational administration management to construct an intelligent educational administration management system. At the beginning, the FCM-CF model is described in detail. Then, the system requirements and specific design methods are described in detail. Eventually, with the students’ performance prediction as an example, the performance of the system is tested by designed simulation experiments. The result shows that the students’ achievement in study is closely related to their daily study performance such as preparation before class, classroom performance, attendance, extracurricular study, and homework completion. Generally, the examination scores of students are significant to their daily performances. Under the same experimental conditions, the prediction error of the FCM-CF model proposed here is less than 10.8% of that of other algorithms. The model has better prediction performance and is more suitable for the prediction of middle school students’ examination scores in educational administration management system. The innovation of intelligent educational administration management system is that, in addition to the basic information management function, it also has two other functions: students’ performance prediction analysis and teacher evaluation prediction. It can provide data support for improving teaching quality. The research purpose is to provide important technical support for more intelligent educational administration and reduce the loss of human resources in educational administration.

Differential innovation in 2nd person pronouns and agreement indexation in Trans-Himalayan languages

Abstract Tibeto-Burman languages show a drastic difference in the stability of independent and bound 2nd person forms. The 2nd person pronoun *naŋ is the most stable form in the Proto-Trans-Himalayan paradigm, preserved in almost every low-level clade, while 1st person is sometimes replaced. But 2nd person indexation in the verb is highly unstable. There were two distinct forms already in PTH, a suffix #-na, belonging to the original paradigm, and an innovative prefix #tV-, as well as an irrealis form which could be used with 2nd person reference. In daughter languages across the family we find further innovations in this category. These facts pose two questions. The first – why is 2nd person indexation so unstable? – can be interpreted in terms of politeness and face management. But this raises another question – if 2nd person indexation is inherently unstable, why is 2nd person independent pronominal reference not? The difference in stability reflects a difference in function. In Tibeto-Burman languages, with or without argument indexation, independent pronouns are always ‘optional’, i.e. carry some information management function such as contrast. Thus when pronominal reference to the addressee might be awkward, it can always be avoided, so there is no need to innovate face-saving substitutes for it. In contrast, in languages with argument indexation, the verbal index is obligatory, so any desire to avoid direct reference to one’s interlocutor requires adopting an alternative construction which then, over time, may grammaticalize into a new 2nd person index.

Design of intelligent real-time safety supervision system for pension institutions based on LBS

Abstract With the gradual ageing of China's population and the single-child family system becoming the backbone of society, the traditional pension way of relying on children at home not only does not guarantee the quality of life of the elderly, but also brings great pressure to the work and life of young people. The way of relying on pension institutions to provide for the aged is becoming gradually accepted by society. In elderly care institutions, safety supervision systems provide an important link to protect the safety of the elderly, thereby ensuring accurate analysis and supervision of the elderly persons’ activity routes and activity rules, and thus allowing an early warning to be given in a dangerous situation. The system realises the real-time positioning and monitoring of the elderly activity track, and can give early warning and timely rescue to the elderly who enter into any dangerous area. The system includes a server monitoring program and mobile APP; ASP.NET Technology to develop the monitoring program; SQL Server 2012 for data storage; and model view controller (MVC) architecture for the APP to improve the efficiency of program development. The supervision program comprises the functions of personnel information management, fence management, positioning service, activity track record, danger warning and rapid rescue. The APP deploys the location-based service (LBS) technology of Android, uses Baidu map API to obtain location information and draw activity track, and stores the information in the mobile phone SQLite database. The APP is installed on mobile phones, bracelets and other devices carried by the elderly and staff, which can record the current position of the person in real-time and simultaneously transmit it to the computer. When the elderly enter into a dangerous area, the system can quickly select the nearest staff and inform them for rescue, so as to ensure the safety of the elderly. After simulation test, the system has now reached the preset function.

Three-Dimensional Design Method of Overhead Transmission Line Based on BIM Technology

Because of the high complexity and large scale of transmission line engineering, a large amount of data will be generated in the traditional two-dimensional (2D) design process, and the work of each stage is relatively independent. The design results are difficult to be effectively managed and integrated, and timely information interaction within and between specialties can not be achieved. BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology has powerful functions of digitalization and information management. This paper studies the application of BIM technology in three-dimensional (3D) design of overhead transmission lines. With the help of Revit platform and secondary development technology, combined with “Xinfu 110 kV transmission and transformation” project, a standardized family library of overhead transmission lines is established, and a set of algorithms for automatic sorting of insulator strings and automatic generation of overhead lines are developed, which realizes the parametric design of the lines in 3D environment. The whole process is centered on BIM information model database, which solves the problem of information management and interaction in traditional 2D design, and improves the design efficiency and quality.

Attention, Blending, and Suspense in Classic and Experimental Film

Alfred Hitchcock claimed that suspense arises when viewers have - or believe that they have - privileged information about a forthcoming undesirable event and are powerless to intervene. In Hitchcock’s canonical formulation, then, suspense is a function of information management and audience anticipation. Cognitive approaches follow this line of reasoning, and thus the cognitive literature on suspense has thus been especially concerned what is sometimes called the “paradox of suspense” or the “anomalous experience of suspense”: if suspense involves uncertainty, why should people feel suspense when they know what’s about to happen? In the present study, we think the explanation lies in another aspect of suspense that Hitchcock alludes to but never develops in his own account: namely, the extent to which its suspense seems to be the product specifically of social cognition. That is, it is not merely a matter of tracking information about a sequence of events, but of processing and applying social information, managing multiple perspectives, and ascribing mental states to real and imagined participants in the narrative scene. To explain how suspense emerges from the interaction of narrative conventions and our natural cognitive responses, we will need to look at the contributions of two important cognitive systems that underlie the construction of meaning: (1) joint attention, in which two or more people are both focused on an external object and mutually aware of this shared focus; and (2) conceptual integration, in which elements and vital relations are selectively projected from multiple inputs, and processes of composition, completion, and elaboration give rise to new emergent structure in the blend. Each without the other fails to provide an adequate cognitive model of the phenomenon of suspense as it plays out in real time. Suspense is a product of manipulations of blended joint attentional scenarios. Filmic conventions generate suspense by constructing triangles of joint attention in which the intentions of the filmmaker, or the camera-eye, overtly overpower the agency of the viewer. They engage our natural systems for social cognition while frustrating our desire to complete the joint attentional triangle. We use this model for the analysis of two classic Hollywood films, Hitchcock's Notorious (1946) and Wells's Touch of Evil (1958), and one experimental film, Michael Snow's Wavelength (1967).

Google Cloud Platform Adoption for Teaching in HEIs: A Qualitative Approach

Higher educational institutions (HEIs) are continuing to struggle with mounting fiscal problems due to economic downturn, which are increasingly forcing information technology (IT) departments to do more with same or less budgets. One area of growing interest for meeting the high technology demands and minimizing costs is the use of Google Cloud Platform to centralize computing and information management functions. Google Cloud Platform is a rapidly growing, yet evolving model that offers significant advantages to these institutions and is being widely used by large & small corporate organizations to manage their IT provisions and reduce their operational as well as IT maintenance costs. The use of Google Cloud Platform could also possibly allow HEIs to shift resources normally allocated for procurement, infrastructure, development, maintenance, and staffing to pay-as-you-go services to minimize operational & maintenance costs. However, despite such potential benefits of Google Cloud Platform higher educational institutions are yet to reap the benefits of this emerging technology as can be witnessed by snail pace adoption of Google Cloud Platform solutions. This paper thus intends to investigate the factors which could affect the acceptance and use of Google Cloud Platform in HEIs especially in developing economies like Malaysia.

Effective Vaccine Management: The Case of a Rural District in Ghana.

Background The Effective Vaccine Management (EVM) initiative provides the platform needed to monitor and assess the vaccine supply chain system to identify strengths and weaknesses of the system at all levels to enhance the development of improvement plan to strengthen the system. This valuation was carried out in the Tolon District of the Northern Region, Ghana. Methods A descriptive valuation of vaccine management was carried out in six vaccine stores in the Tolon District of Northern Ghana. We employed World Health Organization (WHO) assessment tools and procedures which consisted of desk reviews and interviews of cold chain managers to assess vaccine management practices in the district. Five out of the nine global assessment criteria were assessed and a minimum target level required for all criteria to meet the WHO standard was 80%. Results None of the facilities assessed met the WHO benchmark of 80% for all but one criteria assessed. With regards to temperature control, the scores ranged from 42% at Kasuliyili CHPS Centre to 77% at the district store with an average district score of 60%. Stock management ranged between 11% at Wantugu Health Centre and 75% at Nyankpala Health Centre with district average score of 32%. Effective vaccine distribution scores ranged between 13% at Kasuliyili CHPS and 46% at Nyankpala Health Centre with an average district score of 27%. Only Nyankpala Health Centre had an acceptable score of 84% for vaccine management, whereas the lowest score for this indicator was 5% at Tolon Health Centre store with district average score of 53%. Information management and supportive functions scores ranged from 0% at Tolon Health Centre to 26% at the district store with the district average score of 16%. Nineteen (90.5%) of vaccine users had poor knowledge regarding temperature control and vaccine distribution. Conclusion Effective vaccine management knowledge and practices are poor at Tonlon district and calls for urgent and pragmatic approaches such as training and re-training of vaccine users at all levels.

Nursing Information Flow in Long-Term Care Facilities.

Long-term care (LTC), residential care requiring 24-hour nursing services, plays an important role in the health care service delivery system. The purpose of this study was to identify the needed clinical information and information flow to support LTC Registered Nurses (RNs) in care collaboration and clinical decision making. This descriptive qualitative study combines direct observations and semistructured interviews, conducted at Alberta's LTC facilities between May 2014 and August 2015. The constant comparative method (CCM) of joint coding was used for data analysis. Nine RNs from six LTC facilities participated in the study. The RN practice environment includes two essential RN information management aspects: information resources and information spaces. Ten commonly used information resources by RNs included: (1) RN-personal notes; (2) facility-specific templates/forms; (3) nursing processes/tasks; (4) paper-based resident profile; (5) daily care plans; (6) RN-notebooks; (7) medication administration records (MARs); (8) reporting software application (RAI-MDS); (9) people (care providers); and (10) references (i.e., books). Nurses used a combination of shared information spaces, such as the Nurses Station or RN-notebook, and personal information spaces, such as personal notebooks or "sticky" notes. Four essential RN information management functions were identified: collection, classification, storage, and distribution. Six sets of information were necessary to perform RN care tasks and communication, including: (1) admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT); (2) assessment; (3) care plan; (4) intervention (with two subsets: medication and care procedure); (5) report; and (6) reference. Based on the RN information management system requirements, a graphic information flow model was constructed. This baseline study identified key components of a current LTC nursing information management system. The information flow model may assist health information technology (HIT) developers to consolidate the design of HIT solutions for LTC, and serve as a communication tool between nurses and information technology (IT) staff to refine requirements and support further LTC HIT research.

Toward a User-Centered Design of a Weather Forecasting Decision-Support Tool

ABSTRACT Hazard Services is a software toolkit that integrates information management, hazard alerting, and communication functions into a single user interface. When complete, National Weather Service forecasters across the United States will use Hazard Services for operational issuance of weather and hydrologic alerts, making the system an instrumental part of the threat management process. As a new decision-support tool, incorporating an understanding of user requirements and behavior is an important part of building a system that is usable, allowing users to perform work-related tasks efficiently and effectively. This paper discusses the Hazard Services system and findings from a usability evaluation with a sample of end users. Usability evaluations are frequently used to support software and website development and can provide feedback on a system’s efficiency of use, effectiveness, and learnability. In the present study, a user-testing evaluation assessed task performance in terms of error rates, error types, response time, and subjective feedback from a questionnaire. A series of design recommendations was developed based on the evaluation’s findings. The recommendations not only further the design of Hazard Services, but they may also inform the designs of other decision-support tools used in weather and hydrologic forecasting. Incorporating usability evaluation into the iterative design of decision-support tools, such as Hazard Services, can improve system efficiency, effectiveness, and user experience.

Information Management of Demand-responsive Mobility Service Based on Autonomous Vehicles

The autonomous road vehicle (AV) technology implies significant alteration of urban mobility services. The identified transit modes based on AVs are the individual cars, the demand-responsive public transportation with small or medium sized pods and the high capacity public transportation on arterial routes. The introduction of the telematics-based, shared, demand responsive mobility service requires new information management methods. Accordingly, the aim of our research was to model the structure and the operation of this rather complex information system considering both the operators and the users. Since the passenger functions are the keys of the advanced information service the conceptual plan of the mobile application with personalized functions has been also elaborated. The research questions were: how the architecture and the functions of the information system are to be modelled, what the novel information management functions of passengers and operators are, what data structure is needed and how it is related to the functions as well as what kind of functions are to be realized in the mobile application. The results are applicable as foundations for innovation and development projects aiming realization of either the back-end or the front-end components and for planning information management processes.

A vehicular network for social services using data dissemination

AbstractRoads, streets and the heavy traffic emerged in metropolises are places where people spend a considerable amount of time. These are locations where lack of presence of the social‐inspired networks and services and also the presence of new opportunities that could be offered to the people are clearly evident. Undoubtedly, the absence of a proper infrastructure is one of the major barriers to create and deliver social application for vehicular scenarios. In this study, we focus on the idea of establishing a dynamic vehicular network to manage the social groups and the information of social applications. In order to achieve this goal, this paper presents a three‐layered network architecture with a middleware at its core. The middleware manages social groups and handles pivotal functions of information management and dissemination. The design principles and patterns used enable our strategy to disseminate the information quickly and extensively using different communication schemes. Through this approach, we evaluate this infrastructure based on groups with common spatio‐temporal properties and analysing the constant speed mobility in our data dissemination scheme.
